Chapter 19: An Intruder Is On A Loose.

"Well anyway, if you're a human than all I could say is welcome to the Digital World." Swanmon greet Al after she understood that he is a human.

Al is completely amazed by the beautiful view. The sky is light blue with some clouds; mountains can be seen within indefinite yards away. The grass plain had several bushes, and to top it off a huge tree covering large amount of bushes emitting multiple colors like diamond. Swanmon wanted to lead a small tour but Al stopped her. "Wait. What about the portal mark?"

Swanmon turned around clapping her head. "I completely forgot about that. Everyone stand clear." Swanmon warned us and clear the path. She aimed herself to the bush and stretch out her arm like wing. She made a circular pattern and yelled "DOWN TORNADO!" The wind started blowing around like a tornado from her wing afterward a storm of feathers darted the bush. After the attack has launch, a yelp can be heard from behind the bush which surprise everyone. Biyomon and Palmon approach it by instinct to find out the intruder that got hit by Swanmon's feather. By the time they got there, all they could find was trails of blood.

"Another human entered the Digital World just now!" Biyomon warned all of them.

"Another human?" Al asked. "Does that mean besides me?"

"I don't know. I'm as blind as you are, Al." Swanmon said while shaking her head. Then both of them followed Biyomon and Palmon. Biyomon stood at the front portal standing guard if there are more of them while Palmon inspect the blood trail.

"Where is the human?" Al asked to Palmon.

"I can only guess that it went back to the portal. However it didn't go that far since it's injured."

"That can't be good." Al commented. He looked at the Minomon that was still in his arm. "Minomon, you stay here with Aunt Swanmon. There might be danger up a head so don't go too far from her, understand?" Minomon nodded. "Good." Al looked at Swanmon and pass Minomon to her. "Swanmon, take him to safety while we go after the intruder."

Swanmon nodded. "You three be careful out there, okay."

Al smiled at Swanmon and bade her fare well. "We will, see in a while." Al jumped to the portal followed by Biyomon and Palmon.

After passing the portal, they were back at the deepest side of the Chip Forest. Palmon began her search for blood trail and it is so dark, it's hard to find one without a proper examination. Finally she found one and the trail leads to the area where Ogremons and Goblinmons are aggressively swarmed which it isn't a good sign.

"Girls, this isn't good. Whoever or whatever the intruder is, it's headed to the aggressive mass of Ogres and Goblins. And as a newbie, I don't want that to happen to me."

"That's good news for us, since we can out match them." Biyomon replied with a support nodded from Palmon.

"Is your level were that high already?" Al asked confused by their answer.

"No but our status is high enough to kill them in one hit." Palmon explained.

"How is that possible? There is no way your status can be that high in that form." Al getting more confused.

"We may be rookies, but when you can Digivolve your old status will be added to max level. And when you de-Digivolve back, your status will decrease slightly from your evolve form."

"So let me get this straight. We can increase our status to the highest by evolving and devolving?"

"To put it simple, yes. However, if you died in the game without any infection, your status will be reset." Palmon explain more about the rules game.

"That is kind of bummer, having your status that high and then back to square one in an instant after we're dead."

"And that is why there is a save stand near the town portal. You can save all the status you obtained so far and never get worried about resetting back to square one."

"Thank you for the information because For Your Information: I'm still new here, so I don't know anything yet. But just in case if anything is gone worst, I will need some more help." Al grabbed the D. Terminal and starts typing for help and explained the situation hoping two or three more will help on the rescue in case there are real Digimon snug in before. After for about ten minutes, they began the search and rescue.

The mysterious intruder ran away and hides behind one of the tree. "By the Hell, How did they found out I was stalking them to that weird plain?" asked the intruder with teenage masculine voice and in state of panic. "And boy how did it get so painful?" he asked again while holding his shoulder. He looked at the wound and it really is painful. The blood is gushing out and matted his fur, not only that some of the blood were dripping down making a small puddle of blood.

He looked at where he came from and saw a trail of blood lead to where he is resting. "Man, I better keep on running from those whoever is chasing me." He stood up and start running again to an unknown direction he took. He looked at his behind to see if someone is following him for couple of minutes, then he saw a shadow figure from his side and he doesn't care or bother to look at that figure.

He saw a terrain path with fewer trees to hide and to his demise saw pact of Ogremons and Goblinmons. "Oh no, I must be running toward their domain. Then that means..." he flashback his memory about seeing a shadow figure when he was running. When he looked at his back, he saw that same shadow figure is approaching and ready to smash his head with a club. "Oh crap... BLACK BLASTER!" he unleashed the black fire from his mouth and hit the figures head. The blaster explodes but deals little damage to the figure, at least he saw the face of the figure. It was Ogremon. "Well at least I can let myself get killed and be transported back to the City ignoring the hard work I have with Al." then he closed his eyes.

Al and the girls follow the blood trail to the deeper forest and saw a puddle of blood at the base of the tree. "I guess the intruder is taking a break for a while then left again in a hurry." Palmon suggest after inspecting the situation.

"Well what do you expect from someone who's being chased?" Al commented Palmon's deduction. Not far from their position, a voice can be heard followed by explosive. Al jerked his head to where the sound coming from. "I recognize that voice. Let's go, girls. We can still catch him before he got killed." Al began to run as fast as he could, hoping he isn't too late to save the intruder. Al saw some figures up ahead and one of them stood up and covered with smokes. He saw the stood figure raise a club and about to hit other one. "Biyomon, Help me!" Al yelled and readied his attack "PEPPER BREATH!" "SPIRAL TWISTER!" Both Al and Biyomon unleashed their skills and hit the stood figure and then it vanished. Al saw the intruder up close and what he guessed was true. The intruder was a Black Gabumon named ShadowWolf himself. He is holding his arm in order to cover his injuries. His fur is matted with blood by the looks of the red crimson stripes instead of white, but his eyes were closed as if expecting something. "Luckily we came here just in time, ShadowWolf or should I say our mysterious intruder."

ShadowWolf slowly open his eyes and saw a familiar white eye Agumon. ShadowWolf was quite happy to see Al again but he also felt very guilty and uneasy as well. "Al... Look, I'm sorry for not..."

Al interrupted his excuses. "Save it for later. Right now we had to get out of here." Al looked at his surroundings and they were completely surrounded. "Biyomon, make a path! Palmon, cover our escape route! And also Invite team!" Biyomon and Palmon receive a notice and accept it then began the task they were told to.

Biyomon used her Spiral Twister to make a path to the area we came from and Palmon used her Poison Ivy to attack any NPC monsters that came closer to the team. "Path is cleared!" Biyomon yelled and Al asked ShadowWolf to follow him slowly.

"Biyomon, help Palmon covering our escape until further order!" Al shout and the bird acknowledge it. Al walked slowly to the clear path while holding ShadowWolf. He can see that ShadowWolf is in pain because of the injury that Swanmon made in the Digital World. ‘Is it affecting to anyone who went in to the Digital World? This is becoming a serious matter.' He thought.

After they were far away from their territory, they walked back to the entrance portal to the Digital World. Biyomon and Palmon are completely exhausted from using their attacks and ShadowWolf were completely terrified at us. He wanted to run but Al held him tight so he can't run away. "Let go of me!"

"First can you explain yourself, why are you spying me and the girls and walk pass to the unknown portal?" Al asked still holding ShadowWolf. "We are listening...!"

"I was just curious why you want me to leave that badly. I hide from your sight after you thought that I left, and then followed you to that weird unseen portal which ended up in a large plain. I can hear you talking to each other from behind the bush, but I was surprised by feather attack and I got scratch on my arm." ShadowWolf looked at his injured arm. "And why is it hurt when it shouldn't?"

Al looked at girls warned them that he knew that much already. The girls began to looked worry. Al looked in to the sky and let a loud sigh. ‘Alright, it's now or never.' "Shadow, what do you know about Digimon?"

ShadowWolf, Palmon and Biyomon looked at Al spontaneously. ShadowWolf answered. "As much as TCG, fictions, and stories. Why do you ask?"

"What if I told you that they are real and a life?" ShadowWolf become confused while the girls become more frustrated.

"Now that is none sense, what makes you believe that they are real?" ShadowWolf asked completely annoyed.

"You are looking at one of them right now, in fact two of them." Al replied still struggling to hold ShadowWolf.

ShadowWolf didn't know what Al meant until he finally got the idea, and then he looked at the girls. "You're kidding right?" he asked in disbelief. "Are you saying that they are real Digimon?"

The girls raised their head and nodded. ShadowWolf was stunned in disbelief. "Um... girls, I think now is a good time to drag him into the portal to tend his wound before sending him back." Al suggested and the girls replied by helping Al dragged ShadowWolf to the portal.

Swanmon looked very worried back then, but when she saw Al and the others came back she looked content. "You've return. I was so worried about what happened to you in there."

"We are fine, but he isn't." Al replied. "We need some treatment to close up his wound first. After that, we can tell the whole story to you."

Swanmon looked at ShadowWolf wound, and it was a cut wound. "What happened to him?" she asked.

"Long story short, he is the other human that came beside me and got hit by your feather."

"Oh my, bring him in to the tree. I will treat him quickly." Swanmon lead the Destinies into the tree which been used as their home. Swanmon was greeted by lots of baby Digimons with laughter, but soon turned into frown and scared. When they reach the tree she told them what to do. "Put him on the table." She pointed at a large tree stump surrounded by several huge short logs as a seat. Al replied and put ShadowWolf on the stump. "Biyomon, take the bucket and get some water. There's a well behind this tree." Biyomon nodded and grabbed the bucket and run to the well. "Palmon, get me some herbs to make some ointment balm. And Agumon, you start the fire." Palmon replied and looked for some herbs around the area while Al is looking for a fire place in frustration. After finding the fire place, he put some fresh logs and used his Pepper Breath to start the fire.

Biyomon return with a bucket full of water and pass it on to Al. Al put the water into a pot and set it on the fire. Swanmon prepared some water tray, fresh garments and towels. After leaving a minute or two, the water boiled and Al took out the pot and poured the water into the water tray. "Alright, leave the rest to me while you two wait outside and keep the children company."

Al and Biyomon walk out of the tree after relieving their stresses. Luckily she told them to keep the ‘Children...?' Al began to wonder what did she meant by children. A moment later he saw at least a dozen kinds of Digimon hopping toward Al and Biyomon. "These are her children?" Al asked.

"They aren't her children. They are the children that hatch from the egg." Biyomon explained.

"Egg? What egg?" Al asked then he looked at his surroundings and completely surprise when he saw the bushes. The fruit of the bushes wasn't berries but eggs and there lots of it. "Well I'll be... Are those eggs?"

"They are." Palmon replied and rushed into the tree bringing the herbs to Swanmon.

"Are... Are the Digimons born this way?" Al asked

"In this area, I think." Biyomon replied. "The first one I saw was eggs were laid on the cushion ground and let it hatches. They were guarded by Elecmon."

"In the end, they were born from eggs. But how can it be... I mean how can you do it?" Al asked in quite confused.

Biyomon started to blush red deep and her eyes pointed at the sky. "That is a secret even I can't explain."

Al didn't understand at first then realize it. "Oops... Sorry I ask?" Al began to blush bright red and lowered his head. An awkward silent took place for a minute until one of the children hop on to Al. Al quickly grab it and it was the Minomon he met before but he can't tell the differences.

The little Minomon asked Al. "Agumon, what's wrong with that BlackGabumon?"

"My friend got injured and in a state of shock of disbelief. I'm sorry but who are you?" Al explained and asked.

"It's me the Minomon from before." He replied.

"Ooo... I'm sorry, little Minomon. It's hard to tell the differences from other Minomons." Al apologized to Minomon for forgetting him and can't tell the differences.

"You are a strange Agumon. You can't even tell us apart?"

"Well I... uh." Al's spirit was dropped drastically like he's been hit on the head by an unseen pan.

"Don't blame him, Minomon. He didn't have a good nose like us." Biyomon explained to the little Minomon.

"Is he sick or something?" he asked.

"No my little friend; because I'm a human that has a body of a Digimon; and my real name is Alphonse." Al explained so that the little guy understood.

Many of the baby Digimon back away when they heard the word ‘human'. But Minomon laugh and cuddling at Al. "You can't be a human, because you protect me from that BlackGabumon."

"That because I know you are a Digimon. And it is my job to help as long as I judge them right."

Minomon began to tremble in fear that the Digimon in front of him is a real human. "Am I a bad Digimon?"

Al smiled at him and replied. "No, you are just a naughty little tyke that makes others worried. And as your punishment is this." He used his free claw to tickle the little Minomon. Minomon starts laughing out loud without any worries and fear which makes Al completely relieve.

After seeing that Minomon was okay and fond with Al, the other babies called out. "Minomon is in trouble. Let's pile up that Agumon!" The children began to dash toward Al gleefully.

Al saw the crowd and stopped tickling Minomon. "Oh no, Babies are on the loose." One of the babies tackled Al and intentionally fell backward. Soon afterwards all the children were piling up on Al laughing. "Hey. A hundred against one isn't fair you know." Al said to the children but all they did was laughing which makes Al smiled happily. Suddenly one of the children tickled Al at the feet which make Al twitch and laugh. The rest of the children followed and tickled Al in every place they saw. "Oh...no...!" Al tried to talk within laughter. "I... I can't... stand... this... any... anymore... I... I give... Uncle... Uncle...!" The children stop tickling and began to laugh together with Al.

"It seems someone is having fun with the children." Swanmon said with a giggle after hearing and seeing the commotion.

Al looked at the tree entrance and saw Palmon and Swanmon come out. "Swanmon. How is he?" Al asked in worried.

"The wound has been covered with some balm that Palmon created. It will heal the wound very quickly. Although it can't heal his state of shock." She explained the situation to Al, which makes Al smiled in relieve.

Al looked at her beautiful feathers were matted with ShadowWolf's blood and felt quite guilty about it. "I-uh... Thank you for treating my friend, and I'm sorry that your feathers got tainted with blood."

Swanmon was smiling that Al felt quite guilty about ruining feathers but she didn't mind. "You are a nicest being I have ever met. Don't worry about my feather. The blood will wash away if I take a bath."

Al remembered something and slapped his forehead with his claw. "I forgot that some birds have an oil feather that let them float on the water." All Swanmon do is giggle by Al's timid.

"But still, I'm serious when I say I'm still vacant." She said with a wink then headed toward the well behind the tree.

Al was completely stammered when she said that as he silently looked at the place where she went. Biyomon saw that and teased Al. "Looks like somebody got a crush on you, Dino boy."

Al was surprise and stammered again. "Wha... Iâ€"I didn't mean to! It's just..." Al was completely out of words which make Biyomon laughed out loud. "Very funny, Biyomon. Very funny!" Al said sarcastically to Biyomon.

Al felt quite humiliated by his own reaction. "I want to see ShadowWolf. I'll see if I can wake him up in the old fashion way." Al walked back into the tree and saw that ShadowWolf either shock or asleep. But never the less, a good splash can wake even the shocked one.

Al looked for the bucket that Biyomon brought and see if there is any water left inside the bucket. Al was in luck. There is still some water left in the bucket. When he wanted to pick up the bucket, he heard a splash from outside. Al looked for the source and to his surprise he saw Swanmon is taking a bath, and to make him feel more astonished he saw her beauty without her helmet. ‘My God, am I crazy or do all female Digimon look that beautiful?' he asked himself for the beauty of other being. ‘Wait! I take that back. Palmon and Biyomon didn't look so beautiful in my eyes, which technically I am crazy. Anyway...' he took the bucket and readied himself. "Alright you sleepy head rise and shine." Al called and splashed the water to ShadowWolf.

As Al expected, ShadowWolf gave a jolt of realization and angered after seeing Al responsible for the mess. "What did you do that for, Al?!"

"That is for waking you up from shock or sleep, but it worked like a charm."

Al saw that ShadowWolf is looking at his surroundings. Al put the bucket near the tree entrance and called Palmon to prepare him another bucket of water. Then ShadowWolf call. "Where are we, Al?"

Al turned to ShadowWolf and replied. "You are in the Digital World."

"Of course I'm still in the game but what I meant is which area are we?"

Al inhaled deeply and answered. "You are in the Beginner Village at the REAL Digital World. And also, I'm dead serious."

ShadowWolf's disbelief face suddenly dropped. "So what you said about real Digimon exist?"

Al nodded. "Yes that is true, and I'm working with them part time. Thank you for not forgetting what I said before you passed out, and don't you dare passed out again or else more splash for you."

"Okay, I won't pass out. I just quite surprise that there are real Digimon on earth." ShadowWolf stammered.

"Well, I felt the same way for the first time I saw them and guess what; they are the same as us humans. Have feelings, different personalities, everything."

"I never knew that but seeing one is so cool. I saw all of them based on games, cards, even movies. But seeing one of them is way cooler from those three." He said with full of excitement.

"I felt that one also. But there is something we need to talk about them."

"What is that...?" ShadowWolf asked confused.

"We need to keep this a secret. It will be just between you, me, and my team."

"Why...?"

"I'm sure that you didn't hear the news when they came for the first time. It is a huge disaster. And that is why I joined them to protect any Digimon from danger."

"You said that you had a team?" Al nodded. "What are they called?"

"It is called the Destinies." ‘I had to learn to keep my mouth shut. I gave him enough information.'

"How did you join them?"

"They said that I had potentials, and I'm in."

"Do you think I had some potential?"

"That is up to my team's decision, not me." ShadowWolf begin to frown after hearing that answered. "Don't be like that. At least I knew that you protect me when I'm fall, you guarded me when I'm unconscious. But the decision is them to make. Would you like to dry yourself at the fire place or out in the sun?"

"Maybe I better dry myself at the open. I want to see what Digital World looks like with my own eyes."

"As you wish." Al turned and walk out of the tree. When he came out, he heard a sneeze followed with giggle. Al thinks that the sneeze came from ShadowWolf, but where the giggle came from? He looked at the side of the entrance and saw two pillars of ease droppers. "What are you kids doing?" The children were spontaneously ran away to hide. "It's not nice, kids. And that goes for you three. Palmon, Biyomon, and Minomon." The girls and Minomon laugh shyly after committing the crime, but Al gave them a smile.
