The Terrier Twin
Chapter 16:
Full of Junk in Junk Factory
See Chapter 15 here.
Paureen the Lopmon, your little blue Lopmon right here, right now, narrating this very story! I’ve heard of factories before, and they make some stuffies in them or stuff or whatever you call it. But this factory isn’t any kind of factory at all! But, after all, this is the Digital World…
CRASH!
“What place did we end up in here this time?” I muttered, slowly getting up from the sudden crash landing.
“It seems to be some sort of factory,” Burger said, looking around.
“If it is, I hope it’s a factory that makes shrimp!” EbiBurga squealed.
“Factories don’t make shrimp! This factory must be making burgers,” Burger answered.
“That’s not true! Factories don’t make burgers either!” EbiBurger told him.
“Well, they don’t make shrimp, so why not burgers?” Burger asked.
“Burgers can’t be made in factories! It has to be cooked!” EbiBurga replied.
“Shrimp can’t be made in here too,” Burger said.
“Alright, you two. Settle down. There’s no need to make such a big fuss over shrimps and burgers. Whatever the factory makes, you two must be better cooks than it,” Luna said calmly.
“Miss Luna’s right! We don’t need to argue over what this factory makes!” EbiBurga agreed.
“Because we’re better in making shrimps and burgers anyway!” Burger added.
“Ah, I remember when me and Luna were just little Sunmon and Moonmon. I remembered we kept fighting all the time, too,” Corona said with a chuckle.
“Okay, brother. You don’t have to get to the part where we argued over a rock,” Luna told him, a bit irritated.
“Rocks?! Don’t mention that word! That horrible experience last time!” Latte cried.
“Ahem. I’d hate to interrupt your past memories, but we need to go search to see if there’s a Digimon Symbol around here,” Tsukai interrupted.
“Tsukai’s right, everyone. Let’s all search for the Digimon Symbol!” Pixi said.
“I heard that Machine Digimon are mostly here in Junk Factory~” Marine explained.
“Junk Factory? Is that what’s it’s called?” I asked.
“Yup, yup! Junk Factory is what this place is called. Since Machine Digimon are mostly here in Junk Factory, we’re sure to find the Machine Symbol!” Pixi replied.
“Okay, everybody! While we’re searching, let’s sing a song I heard once!” Latte announced.
“Digimon eat and Digimon bite! Digimon digivolve and fight all night!”
We sang that song for hours as we continued to look for the Machine Symbol. Though we did get interrupted at some times, because other wild and crazy Machine Digimon were there to attack us. We manage to escape barely, and continued on to search for the symbol.
We eventually came across a path - that was blocked with lasers.
“I don’t think we can go any further now,” Corona said, looking closely at the lasers.
“But we have to go through! I’ve got this feeling that the Digimon Symbol is somewhere beyond here!” I whined.
“But how can we get through? We can’t pass with these lasers blocking the way,” Luna asked.
Pixi took a close look at the lasers.
“Well! It seems that there’s a slot in here to place a key! I bet that’s the way to get through these lasers,” Pixi exclaimed.
“Then where is this key?” Burger asked.
“It must be hidden somewhere in this factory,” Tsukai suggested.
“Oh, great. We’re going to have to roam around again, and get attacked by more Machine Digimon,” I groaned.
“We have no choice. If we find the key, then we’ll be able to get through,” EbiBurga said.
We all set off to find the key.
*****
“Did you find the key yet?” Corona asked Luna.
“Sadly, no. I can’t find the key anywhere,” Luna replied sadly.
“I can’t believe it takes us hours just to find some key!” Burger said.
“Even I couldn’t find it,” I admitted sadly.
Latte, who was roaming around behind us, saw something in a pile of metal and some other junk.
“Oohh! I wonder if it’s candy?” he said curiously, as he began to dig for the item.
“Hmm…we’ve run out of places to look in,” Pixi said.
“That’s too bad,” I replied with a deep sigh.
I glanced at Latte, who was rummaging through a pile of metal.
“Hey, Latte? What are you doing?” I asked.
“Hwargh?” Latte said, with something in his mouth.
“What’s that thing that Latte has in his mouth?” EbiBurga asked.
“Let me see what you ate this time,” I said, approaching Latte.
I took out the item from Latte’s mouth and it looked like some sort of key.
“Well, look at that. Latte found the key,” I announced calmly, looking at the key.
“What are we waiting for~? Let’s go and head back into that room where we saw the path blocked with lasers~!” Marine said.
We raced back to that room where the path with lasers were.
*****
Pixi placed the key into the slot.
The lasers vanished, and the path was clear.
“Okay! Come on, everyone! The lasers are gone now!” Pixi announced.
We went into the path and came across a little portal.
We got on it, and it teleported us into a room with that coin thingamajig was above us, shining with a bright light. A wrench was on it.
“That must be the Machine Symbol!” EbiBurga exclaimed.
“Yeah! It’s the Machine Symbol! So what?!” a voice answered.
“Hey! Who are you?! Show yourself!” Tsukai shouted.
A Digimon came out, and it looked like an Agumon, but this one is a ToyAgumon. Although the color was different…
“I’m ShadowToyAgumon! I guard the Machine Symbol! There’s no way you wimps are getting your paws on it!” the ShadowToyAgumon said angrily.
“It seems to me this ToyAgumon has been affected by the virus,” Pixi said.
“Take this! Plastic Blaze!” the ShadowToyAgumon said, spewing a flame-shaped missile.
We all dodged it, but the ShadowToyAgumon kept attacking us like crazy.
“Hahaha! Take this! And this! And have some more of this!” the ShadowToyAgumon laughed evilly, spewing more and more flame-shaped missiles.
“This is hopeless! Latte, quick! It’s time for me to digivolve!” I said.
“O-okay…” Latte stammered, his red triangle shining.
Even though I was ready for me to digivolve, I felt completely nothing!
“H-huh?! Why aren’t I digivolving?!” I exclaimed.
“Um, look over there, Paureen,” Burger pointed out slowly.
I looked at Luna, who was starting to digivolve.
“Lunamon digivolve to…Lekismon!”
My jaw dropped.
This wasn’t supposed to happen! Why in the world did Luna digivolve when it was supposed to be ME?!
But there was a huge change of the appearance, though. Luna’s cute little innocent face is gone, and she’s digivolved into a fierce Digmon. Somehow, those eyes are intimidating…
“Soulful Kick!”
She jumped up high and came down quickly and gave a strong kick.
The ShadowToyAgumon was sent flying backwards.
“Grr! I’m getting irritated! You’re all just wimps! Nothing more than weaklings!” he growled.
“ShadowToyAgumon digivolve to…Guardromon!”
Too many changes in appearances in one day…
“Destruction Grenade!”
He fired whistling missiles from the retractable launchers in his forearms.
Though Luna - ur, Lekis, was too quick and speedy so she dodged it in a blink of an eye.
“Moon Night Bomb!”
She threw Guardromon with a water bubble created by her “Moon Gloves”.
Apparently, Moon Night Bomb can make the opponent fall asleep, so the Guardromon was sleeping soundly like a baby. He eventually reverted back into his normal Rookie form, ToyAgumon.
He quickly woke up as Luna returned to her Rookie form also.
“Hey there! What’s with all the Digimon around here? Some party going on here?” he asked.
Aside from appearances, his personality changed, too.
“Party?! Where?!” Latte cried, looking around.
“Um, no. There’s no party around here, but you attacked us, so we had to fight back. You were affected by the virus,” I replied.
“Attack?! Me?! Seriously?!” the ToyAgumon exclaimed. “That virus has been nothing but trouble! Especially that master! Anything I do to make it up for ya?”
“Well, you could give us the Machine Symbol,” Burger said slowly. “We need it to enter Dark Castle to defeat the master.”
“The Machine Symbol? My pleasure! I’ll do anything for my rescuers! Take it!” the ToyAgumon replied cheerfully.
“Thank you very much~! But we should get going on our way~!” Marine said.
“Well, I’ll see you all next time!” the ToyAgumon said.
We exited Junk Factory, and we were all ready to go to another place.
“Three down, five more to go!” Pixi announced. “Pixie Portal!”
We all fell down in another portal, singing the song again:
“Digimon eat and Digimon bite! Digimon digivolve and fight all night!”
To be continued…
Digimon mentioned in the story:
Moonmon
Sunmon
(Author’s note: The song was from Digimon Adventure: Episode 6)
