Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Bryan and Chicchimon re-enter, from Toy and Tama Town.]

Bryan looked over his surroundings. The jungle sprawled before him. Chicchimon beside him excitedly bounced, her feathery ponytail splaying in the slight breeze.

"So, Bryan, what if no one comes with us? Will we be okay?"

"I think so, Chicchimon. We got out of that cell by working together... I'm sure we can get out of whatever sticky situations this jungle might have in store for us."

Chicchimon beamed, and a little twinkle of pride in her eye began to spread. Soon, She was bathed in a glowing light. The light got larger and larger, until it took on the shape of a small bird. When the light faded, Chicchimon had become a Penguinmon. "Wow, look at that, Bryan! Because of your faith in me, I was able to digivolve into Penguinmon. Now let's go find that DigiTama!!"

Bryan nodded.

(Entering the Western Jungle, Phell and Gazimon, from the Great Canyon)

Phell pushed passed another bunch of underbrush, snaring part of his white scarf. Phell sighed, running a hand through his silver hair, unlatching the scarf from the brush. His icy blue eyes scanned the area, watching the branches above for any movement. "Dang this is a creepy area," Phell said.

“Attention, Emersion event underway” screeched a loud voice from the large silver watch like object strapped to Gage’s left wrist. “What?” Gage asked to no one in particular. He stopped walking and started to look all around. There was a sudden flash off in the distance, almost as if a large second of the jungle just caught fire. “Patamon, scout ahead.” A rustling in the trees above him moved quickly forward remaining concealed by the thick growth. Gage started rushing through the trees as quickly as he could move through the thick foliage.

After a few minutes of fighting with nature a small brown and white object dropped out of the trees and began hovering in front of his face. Gage nearly feel over form the suprize. “Don’t do that!”

“Sorry...” the tiny digimon replied.

“Anything to report?” Gage asked.

“You’re not going to like it...” the patamon said trying to look away.

Gage pushed past his partner and into a large clearing that seemed to have been recently charred by some from of flash fire. And standing in the center of all this needless destruction, was another tamer about his age, wearing practically the same uniform he was, but a red that could only mean one thing, “Alpha Strike...” Gage announced as he crossed his arms over his chest and looked on with a heavy amount of annoyance on his face.

Phell and Gazimon walked up behind Gage, his eyebrow raised. "Who's this guy? He's like your twin, except that he has a purple dinosaur for a partner... is his name Barney?" Phell joked.

((I’m going to be using the following events to add my new digimon to the roster, feel free to participate.))

Gage was not at all pleased to see the red uniform worn by Mr. Stryker. He let out a heavy sigh and accepted the handshake. Although his presence was unwelcome, Gage did not believe there was any reason to be uncivilized. “Honestly now,” Gage said Jonny, “Why does Central Command even bother sending us out if they don’t think we can handle a simple recon mission?” he asked rhetorically. Suddenly Gage’s expression changed to a mixture of confusion and annoyance, “You mean to tell me you came here without knowing what the mi... did you even read the briefing before jumping head first into the Transport?” Gage was sure he already knew the answer, and decided not to wait for an explanation. He turned toward the tamer standing behind him, “Phell this is Jonny Stryker, we work for the same organization back on Earth.” He turned back toward his colleague, “And this is Phell, he is helping me search for the Sovereign digimon.”

Gage sighed again, knowing that explaining everything to the two of them was going to take a while, and he wasn’t sure exactly how much time they had left. While he was trying to figure out where he should begin, there was a sudden motion coming from behind them. Gage’s partner rushed out of his hiding spot in the half charred trees and began hovering between Gage and Jonny, “Something is coming this way...”

Gage turned scanning the tree line, “which direction?”

The patamon’s head darted from one end lf the blacked clearing to the other, “the sound is bouncing off so many surfaces, it is too difficult to pinpoint!” there was a Sudden explosion from the west end of the clearing and a large mass of blue and gold was thrown over the tamer’s heads crashing, hard, into a cluster of trees that was still smoldering from Jonny’s fiery entrance. The digimon appeared to be a humanoid dragon like digimon, clad in a strange golden armor. The creature was bleeding heavily from several large gashes in its exposed skin. Its armor wasn’t in much better shape, scratched, dented and missing small sections that had likely bee torn off by something very powerful.

Gage looked at the injured digimon with wide eyes, wondering what could be powerful enough to harm a digimon of that size. He turned is head to the opposite side of the field anticipating that he would find out the answer soon enough. And he was correct, emerging from the trees was a large sinister looking digimon, white skin, that was partly concealed under a dull blue tattered garment, its slender body seemed slippery and elastic. Its arms where long and shaped like squid tentacles with very shape claw-like fingers. Arching over his shoulders, were two additional tentacles attached to its back. Its elongated head came to a point, decorated with two batwing like flaps on either side. Its drooling mouth was full of tiny but razor shape teeth, and its red eyes seemed to glow with a vengeful malice.

Gage quickly removed the Digi-HUD from his bag and scanned the squid like amalgamation. “Marine Devimon, Ultimate Level... experiences only the emotion of hatred, and will never stop attacking even if its prey gives up... not good!” Gage turned toward his digimon, “Patamon, defensive formation Alpha!”

The small digimon nodded and the two of them rushed across the burnt clearing toward the wounded armor digimon, taking up a position directly in the path of Marine Devimon. Gage’s watch-like Digivice began to emit a powerful light, causing an aura of cascading data to appear around the hamster-like Digimon. Its tiny voice called out, “Patamon Digivolve to...” its tan and white form dissolved into a cloud of golden data particles. Quickly those same particles began to reassemble themselves into a large human-like form. The new Digimon was dressed completely in a skintight white garment, with gold trim on his boots and shins. Tattered blue cloth was draped from the belt around his waist as well as spiraling around his right leg and left arm. His long hair was a golden brown shade flowing down from a dome like metallic helmet with a cross-shaped pattern that took shape around his head, covering everything from his eyes upward. Six glorious wings covered in pure white feathers were spread to full span as he called out his new name, “ANGEMON!”

The humanoid squid digimon only grinned and started charging at its new playthings.

Bryan approached the new arrival. It felt strange to think of her like that since he himself has only been in the Digital World a short time. Penguinmon, who was still as spirited and sarcastic as she was when she was Chicchimon was the first to speak up. "So, rough landing eh? You gonna be alright?"

Bryan helped the girl up on to her feet.

Amanda accepted his help gratefully and staggered slightly as she was pulled to her feet, "Yeah...I think I'm going to be alright. It was quite a fall." She said with a small, nervous chuckle as she rubbed the back of her head.

Betamon rolled his eyes, "Meh, she's just a wimp. She'll get over it in a bit." He had to duck away to avoid the girl stomping on his feet. The tamer grumbled and turned to her helper, "Umm, I'm Amanda, and this little pain in the neck is Betamon."
