Equestria Ninja Girls Going Digital

by WarriorofFaith18


Cross the Waterfall

After defeating Kimeramon, the heroes continued to head to the Primary Village. Now they were climbing up a mountain.

“Man!” panted Davis. “And I thought Kimeramon was tough!”

“Eh. When with the ninjas, you get use to it.” Casey shrugged.

“We even travel like this in Equestria.” Starlight mentioned.

Yolei was walking next to her. “You know, I hope we can visit Equestria someday.”

“Same.” Gamer added. “Curious on how we’d look as ponies and I’d be fascinated exploring the places Donnie and April told me about.”

“Maybe someday. I know Twilight’s counterpart would love to meet you guys.” Sunset assured.

“Even me and Keramon?” Josh asked.

“Absolutely!” Fugitoid nodded.

“You know, I used to ride horses years ago, but I stopped because the saddle was uncomfortable.” Josh recalled.

“Well, I assure you that won’t be a problem in Equestria.” Starlight smiled.

“I wonder if Digimon look different there too?” Veemon asked curiously.

“That be a curious sight.” Fugitoid pondered.

Meanwhile, Karai was walking with Shine Boy, who showed signs of getting better after being revived by Magnamon. “How you feeling, Shine Boy?”

“I’m doing great. With all this walking, I’m feeling less stiff.”

“You really scared us after you died from bringing the Digi Egg of Miracles.” Armadillomon admitted.

“I know. I just wanted to beat Kimeramon.” Shine Boy shrugged.

“We’re just glad you’re alive and still helping us.” Cody smiled.

“Wouldn’t have it any other way.”

After walking more a little ways, everybody began to hear a small rumbling.

“What’s that?” Scootaloo asked.

“Is it the wind?” Fluttershy wondered.

“It’s not another bad Digimon, is it?” Sweetie Belle feared.

April felt her heard and smiled. “Not feeling anything so it’s not, Sweetie Belle.”

“Now that I hear it, it sounds like water.” Leo guessed.

“And you’re right, Leonardo.” Leomon spoke up. “We’re almost to the waterfall.”

“Least we’re making progress.” Keno smiled.

“Right. So, let’s get going.” Tai waved as they continued forward.

--------

Soon, they found the ledge near a giant waterfall.

“Whoa! That’s the biggest waterfall I ever seen!” Scootaloo wowed.

“Hoowee that’s huge!” Bebop added.

“Yeah. That’s huge.” Yolei nodded.

“Some reason I’m thinking of Niagara Falls.” Shine Boy pondered.

“I think that be bigger.” Twilight put in.

“Whoa.” Whispered Josh.

Leo then noticed Leomon frowning at something. “Is something wrong, Leomon?”

“There’s supposed to be a bridge to the other side, but I don’t see it anywhere.”

“Was this it here?” Everyone looked to see Night Shine standing by a wooden pillar next to the ledge. The rope tied to it was snapped on the end.

“Maybe the bridge gave out.” Donnie analyzed.

“Or somebody didn’t want us coming this way.”

“For once, I agree with him.” Raph jestered to Night Shine’s thought.

Gamer looked out to the other side and analyzed with his goggles. “That looks to be at least two miles to the other side. No way we can jump that.”

“And our Digimon are too weak to digivolve after fighting Kimeramon.” Tai looked at Agumon, who sighed from trying to digivolve.

Mikey gasped. “Maybe I can get a couple boulders to form a bridge with my medallion!”

“I don’t know, Mikey.” Donnie pondered. “A thing like that could do more harm than good.”

“Let me try something.” Rarity walked up to the ledge and activated her geode to make diamonds to form a bridge. But it could only stretch up to the middle of the edge before she retracted them. “Either I reached my limit on my magic or my geode isn’t fully charged.”

“Well it was worth a try.” Twilight shrugged.

Applebloom kicked a rock down the cliff to see it was miles down to the river below. “Ooo that’s a long way down.”

“Well we got to get across if we want to get to the Primary Village and stop Ripley and Lewej!” Davis stated.

Kari looked at the ledge as things went black and white on her again. The cliffs were very foggy as she sweated up a storm. Suddenly, a dark figure merged from the fog reaching for her.

“CHILD!” it roared.

“Kari!”

Kari snapped out of it to see everything back and turned to see Karai looking at her.

“You may not want to walk too close to the ledge.”

Kari saw she was close and backed up a bit. “Right. Sorry.”

“You okay?” Karai raised a brow.

“Yeah. Just spaced out a little.” Kari assured her.

Karai shrugged but looked back at the Digidestined in concerned. This hadn’t gone unnoticed by Sunset and April who looked at each other in worry.

“So how we gonna get across yo?” Casey asked.

Shine Boy pondered before looking to Applejack. “Hey AJ. You at full power with your geode?”

“I think so.” Applejack nodded.

“Gamer, do you have any titanium cable?”

Gamer responded by reaching into his backpack. “A couple that reach up to four miles.”

Shine Boy then looked at the waterfall. “Then I think I got an idea. It’s risky, but I think we can pull it off.”

--------

Soon, everyone tied themselves around their waists With Applejack hanging from one end and Rocksteady on the ledge holding the other end with Bebop right next to him. As they hung on the side of the cliff as Tentomon spoke up.

“You know, I think I recall Houdini did this trick once. He was in and out of the hospital in six weeks.”

“Well that’s encouraging.” Gabumon deadpanned.

Applejack then called to the group. “Okay everyone! I’m gonna start swinging!”

Hearing that, Ogremon called up to Rocksteady. “Okay, Rock! We’re ready!”

“One. Two. Three!” Leo counted before everyone kicked the ledge, causing them to swing. Rocksteady then increased the swinging. After a couple swings, Applejack used her shuko claws to grab the ledge and, using her geode’s power, climbed up the ledge and held the cable. Everyone saw that they were stretched between the two ledges.

“Hey. We’re not dead.” Night Shine mumbled.

“So far so good.” Shine Boy breathed before calling to Applejack. “How you doing, Applejack?”

“No problem here.” Applejack waved. “You doing okay, Applebloom?”

“I’m alright.” Applebloom responded with Leomon right behind her.

“Don’t worry. I’m keeping an eye on her and her friends.”

“Thanks, Leomon! Okay, Rocksteady, I’m gonna start pulling across!”

Rocksteady nodded as he helped steady the rope as the cowgirl pulled the others close to the other side. Some like Fluttershy were trying hard not to look down while others made sure nobody fell off. Josh held onto Keramon so he didn’t fall. The first to get across was Yolei who managed to get on the ledge safe and sound.

“Perfecto!” she cheered.

“Well, that seems accomplishable.” Hawkmon nodded as he climbed to her side.

“Good work, Yolei. Now once I get Shine Boy over so you help him across then you two can come help me pull.”

“Got it.” Yolei nodded. Then Applejack continued to pull and Shine Boy was next to come up as Yolei extended her hand to him. “I’m coming, Shine Boy.”

Shine Boy extended his hand. “Okay. Keep it coming. I’m almost there!”

Their hands were just about to make contact when Applejack noticed Yolei’s footing was starting to break.

“Yolei! Your footing! LOOK OUT!” she warned.

“Huh?” Before Yolei could react, the ground she was on gave way, causing her to fall despite Hawkmon grabbing her. Quickly, Applejack jumped over to grab her while still holding on to the cable.

“I gotcha!” she cried. But suddenly, the ledge she was on broke as well, causing the group to fall back next to the ledge.

“Rocksteady! Pull us up!” Cried Leo.

Rocksteady tried to pull them up, but then the cable somehow slipped from his hand. Bebop dove in to grab it but missed. The duo watched in horror as the group screamed as they fell to the river below.

“I-I don’t believe it!” gasped Bebop. “They’re gone. Our true friends our gone!” he bawled.

Rocksteady however was silent with a frown as he began to walk away. This shocked Bebop.

“Rock? Rocksteady? Ivy baby? Where you going? You’re just gonna walk away? The only group who gave us another chance? I get that they were enemies in the past, but they were better company than Shredder! Ivan Steranko, look at me when I’m talking to- Wait! What are you doing? Wait! WAIT!”

“FOR MAMAAAAAAAAA!” It turned out Rocksteady was backing up to charge as he jumped down the ledge into the river. As he fell, he saw his Digi Egg glowing and what he had to.

Bebop looked down at his buddy and looked at his Digi Egg. “Rock you crazy! Can’t let you have all the fun.” So, without hesitation, the former thief jumped in after his buddy. As he followed, his Digi Egg began to glow. He smiled before crying out. “UNITY! EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!”

As Bebop began to glow, Rocksteady shouted the same words.

“UNITY! EXECUTE! SPIRIT-”

SPLASH!

“Evolution.” He gurgled as he hit the water below. Then, there was a glow in the water where he landed. As he merged from the water, Bebop skied by on his energy streek. Both looked robotic in their new Armors.

“We did it! We gained the Digi armor!” Rocksteady cheered.

“Heehee! Now let’s go save our buddies!” Bebop thumbed up.

As Rocksteady swam, he was as fast as a motorboat across the raging river as Bebop skated by. Up ahead, he saw Fluttershy being pulled by the current and grabbed her. As she caught her breath, she got a better look at the duo.

“Bebop? Rocksteady? Is that you?”

“Yeah it’s us!” Bebop thumbed up.

“Da! We got Digi Armor!” Rocksteady cheered before turning to Bebop. “Comrade! Skate ahead and see if you see other comrades!”

“On it!” As Bebop skated ahead, Rocksteady saw a grappling hook fly towards him and caught it. Turned out the grappling hook was from Love Shine who was carrying Rarity and Sweetie Belle on his back as he carried them onto Rocksteady. Then, they noticed Sunset and Casey, who was struggling to swim, and Rocksteady sped up and grabbed them both. After she caught her breath, Sunset looked around.

“Anyone seen Fugitoid?”

“All I could find was Rarity and Sweetie Belle before I saw Rock here.” Love Shine recalled.

“Guys! Over here!” everyone heard Shine Boy call to them. They saw he, Cody, Twilight, Spike, Matt, Gabumon, Shine Girl, Mikey, Tai, and Agumon were all on Ankylomon’s back as he surfed the water. As they got to him, and everyone climbed on the big Digimon, Shine Boy noticed Rocksteady’s new armor. “You too, Rock? We just saw Bebop skate by. That’s awesome!”

“Ahoy there!” Everyone looked to see Rainbow, Scootaloo, Raph, Keno, Joe, Gomamon, Davis, Veemon, Mimi, Palmon, April, and Shini riding on multicolored fishes that bunched up like a raft as Gomamon joked. “Mind if we join your little cruise?”

“Are we glad to see you guys!” April smiled.

“You too.” Shine Girl smiled as Cody spoke up.

“When we hit the water, Armadillomon was just enough energy to digivolve into Ankylomon so we can ride on him!”

“While I just called on some buddies of mine to give us a lift.” Gomamon smiled.

“Amazing what you can do with the right motivation.” Chuckled Ankylomon.

Just then, Bebop swooped in, carrying Leomon who had Applejack and Applebloom hanging on to him, and dropped them onto Ankylomon’s shell.

“Applebloom! You’re alright!” Sweetie Belle cheered as she hugged her friend.

“So are you guys I see.” Applebloom smiled as she waved to Scootaloo who waved back.

“Glad you guys unlocked your Digi Armors!” Tai thumbed up.

“Da! Now we save others!” Rocksteady grinned.

“Teehee!” Bebop cheered as he skated forward to find the others.

Shine Boy looked around to notice someone was missing. “Anyone seen Gamer?”

“Or Fugitoid?” Asked Sunset.

“I saw Gamer fighting the rapids and Karai went after him while I got Applebloom and Applejack around the time Bebop got us.” Leomon recalled.

Then they heard a cough. “She swung back and grabbed Starlight on the way back.”

Everyone looked to see Gamer and Starlight riding on Karai in her serpent form. As Shine Boy and Applejack helped them up, Karai reverted to her human form.

“Thanks, Karai.” Shine Boy thanked as he pulled her up.

“It was my pleasure.” Karai smiled.

“Hello, over there!” Everyone looked to see Fugitoid in his submarine mode carrying T.K. and Kari along with Patamon and Gatomon heading towards them.

“T.K.! you okay, little bro?” Matt asked as he and Tai helped their siblings up on Ankylomon.

“Thanks to Fugitoid, we are.” T.K. nodded as Sunset hugged Fugitoid who transformed back to robot mode.

“I’m so glad you’re okay, Professor.”

“I’m just glad my submarine mode still works approvable.” The robot chuckled.

Then, something whacked Rocksteady in the back. Rocksteady looked back as he heard a familiar grumble.

“Hey! Outta my way, rust bucket! I got others to rescue!”

“Comrade Ogremon!” Rocksteady gasped.

Sure enough, it was Ogremon, who stopped whacking as he saw it was Rocksteady. “Oh! Hey, Rock!” he then got on the bed of fishes.

“Okay. Who’s all left?” Raph asked.

“Josh jumped in earlier saying he was a very good swimmer and went to look for the others.” Shine Boy remembered, ignoring Tai frowning.

“Over there!” Pinkie cried.

Everyone looked to see Josh struggling to swim with Donnie, Keramon, and Wormmon.

“I gotcha, bud!” Then, they were scooped up by Bebop, who had Sora and Izzy in his arm while Tentomon and Biyomon flying by them. He then dropped them off on the fishes and Josh and Keramon on Ankylomon.

“I just wasn’t a good swimmer when carrying someone.” Panted Josh as Shine Boy patted his back.

“You did your best, Josh. That’s all that matters.” The hero smiled. “You wouldn’t have seen Luke, have you?”

“Bout time someone said something.” Everyone turned to see Night Shine on Ankylomon’s tail wearing shades and held a reflector to his face.

“Glad you’re okay, Bro.” Shine Boy rolled his eyes.

“Where’s Leo?” Raph wondered.

Then, as if answering the hot-headed turtle, Hawkmon frantically flew onto Ankylomon. “Everyone! Leonardo sent me to find you. He’s going after Ken who’s trying to save Yolei, who was knocked out after the crash and sank!”

“Ken!” Wormmon gasped.

“We gotta help them!” Mimi cried.

April felt her head. “They’re nearby! I can feel them!”

Rocksteady looked up to Gamer. “You still have cable, Comrade Gamer?”

--------

Meanwhile, underwater, Yolei was floating unconscious when Ken grabbed her. He tried to swim back up to the surface but was nearly out of breath himself. Just before he was about to pass out, he felt something grab him and Yolei and turned to see Leo was trying to help get them up faster. Then, they both saw a cable in front of them and saw it was Rocksteady lending it. They quickly grabbed it and merged from the water, taking a deep breath.

“Leo!” cried Twilight.

“Ken!” Wormmon cheered.

Catching their breaths, Leo and Ken swam up with Ken carrying Yolei.

“Lay her here!” Shine Boy advised as he helped Yolei up before Karai and Sunset helped the two up. Everyone then looked worried as Hawkmon shook the still unconscious Yolei.

“Yolei! Please! Speak to me!”

“Let me help her!” Ken knelt down at her side.

“Give him some room.” Leo ordered everyone as Ken began breathing into Yolei’s mouth.

“Yolei.” Whimpered Mimi, worried for her young friend.

“Come on, Ken.” Whispered Davis.

“You can do it.” Sora added.

Ken kept breathing in Yolei while checking her pulse. Then, he began pushing down on her chest, counting. Shortly after, Yolei woke up coughing out water. Everyone sighed in relief to her breathing again.

“You did it, Ken!” Wormmon cheered.

“Nicely done.” Karai nodded.

“Yolei! I was so worried!” Hawkmon smiled as Yolei sat up.

Then, Bebop landed on the fish bed. “And that’s everyone present and accounted for! Heehee!”

Everyone then looked at the mutant duo’s new armor. “You both unlocked your Digi armor!” Josh realized.

“Thank you both for coming after us.” Biyomon thanked.

“Da! We never abandon comrades!” Rocksteady boasted.

“Especially after you guys welcomed us in the team after our rough past.” Bebop smiled.

Agumon looked at Tai, who had a lot on his mind as he looked at Josh and Keramon unnoticed.

“Now, we all unlocked our armors!” cheered Mikey.

“Huzzah! Hail the conquering heroes!” Pinkie sang before pulling out a bunch of instruments like a band.

“Where was she carrying all that?” Ogremon gasped.

“It’s Pinkie. Best not ask.” Rainbow whispered.

-------

Before long, Ankylomon and Gomamon got to a calm water spot to get to shore. Once the group got on land, Ankylomon reverted back to Armadillomon and the fish swam away.

“Goodbye! Thanks for all your help!” Fluttershy waved.

Bebop and Rocksteady then turned back to normal.

“Looks like we ran out of juice.” Bebop noticed.

“Oh well. I dare Ripley and Lewej to take on the Bebop and the Rocksteady now!” Rocksteady flexed his arms.

“Better get in line.” Night Shine walked by as everyone laughed.

“Where are we?”

Everyone looked at Yolei as she began to walk towards the woods up ahead and mumbled. “I’m really sorry, everyone. I really am.”

Applejack called out to her. “It’s okay, Yolei. It was an accident.”

“Nobody blames you!” Everyone was surprised to hear what Raph just said.

“You don’t?” Mikey asked.

“Don’t what?”

“You don’t blame her?”

“Maybe a little.” Raph admitted.

“I’ll go talk to her.” Ken walked pass the two turtles and towards Yolei’s direction.

---------

After she walked a ways, Yolei stopped in front of a water hole. As she sat down, her lips trembled as she felt sad from what had happened. As tears fell, she pulled out her weapon and looked at it bluntly before she heard a voice behind her.

“Yolei?” she turned to see Ken looking at her in concern. “Could I sit with you?”

“Sure.” Yolei mumbled as she turned back to the water hole.

As he sat down next to her, Ken took a deep breath and spoke. “You know, both Leo and Shine Boy have said that sometimes, the path from inner turmoil begins with a friendly ear. My ear is open if you wish to use it.”

“How could I have been so stupid! If I knew that ledge was unstable, I wouldn’t- I wouldn’t…. have-” Yolei then broke down crying. “I haven’t felt this guilty since Hawkmon was injured against Dokugumon.”

Ken then put his hand on her shoulder. “You heard Applejack. It was an accident. It could’ve happened to anyone. The important thing is we’re all okay and the only one who almost drowned was you.”

“Probably deserved it.” Sighed Yolei.

“Saying that to the guy who tried to enslave the Digital World?” Ken jestered, getting a slight chuckle from Yolei. “I wouldn’t ever wish anything like that on you, Yolei! You’re a great girl! You’re smart, brave, sweet, tough, and…. All around wonderful.” Ken slightly blushed at the last part.

This was enough to make Yolei smiled as she sniffled. “Thanks, Ken. It-it means a lot to me.”

Ken smiled back before clearing his throat. “Do you… need a hug?”

Yolei nodded as she embraced the former Digimon Emperor who hugged back. As they hugged, Hawkmon and Wormmon were watching from behind a tree.

“I think that was what Yolei needed to feel better.” Hawkmon grinned.

“I’m really proud of Ken.” Wormmon added.

After a bit of not saying anything, the two Digidestined then broke the embrace as Ken spoke. “So, ready to go back to the others?”

“Yeah. Probably still gonna get chewed out by Raph or Night Shine.” Sighed Yolei.

“Probably if you keep calling him that.” Both chuckled at Ken’s joke as they got up and headed back as Hawkmon and Wormmon followed not far behind.

-------

The two arrived back to the group as some were ringing out either their clothes or hair. Rarity had her hair back to her style and was helping Sweetie Belle with hers. They then noticed them back.

“Welcome back.” Greeted Shine Boy.

“You okay, Yolei?” Mimi asked in concern.

“Yeah. I’m okay now. And I just want you to all know I’m sorry about what happened.”

“Yolei, as I mentioned before, it was an accident. Could’ve happened to anyone.” Applejack assured her.

“And take it from me, some things are just out of our control.” April said, remembering when her father was mutated by accident.

“The important thing is we’re all okay.” Rainbow smiled.

“And, Rocksteady and I got our Digi armor working so it was worth it, girl!” Bebop thumbed up.

Shine Boy walked up. “And part of it was my fault since it was my idea to begin with.”

“We’ve already sent Biyomon and Tentomon to survey the area to see if the Primary Village is nearby.” Sora assured.

Yolei smiled before noticing someone was missing. “Where’s Fluttershy?”

“She’s not far. Just went a little ways.” Gamer explained as he drained his goggles and put them back on.

“Once we’re all set, we’ll get her.” Matt assured.

“All done!” Everyone looked as Rarity was finished fixing Sweetie Belle’s hair. “Your hair is fixed now, Sweetie.”

“Thank you, Rarity.” Thanked Sweetie Belle.

Ogremon walked by them. “I may not be into pretty stuff, but that’s impressive work, Rarity.”

“Thank you, Ogremon. You know, I might be able to give you a makeover if you like.”

Ogremon blinked as Night Shine, Raph, and Casey were heard laughing their heads off. “Thanks, but no thanks. Pretty and me don’t mix!”

“At least put it under consideration!” Rarity called as Ogremon walked away.

“Well, it looks like everyone is ready to head out again.” Shine Girl reported.

“Then let’s get moving.” Leo nodded.

Shine Boy turned to Josh. “Hey Josh. Why don’t you go with Matt and go get Fluttershy?”

“I can do that.” Josh replied only for Keno to speak.

“Never mind there she is.”

Everyone looked to see Fluttershy walking up to the group smiling. “Guys! I just found out we’re really close to the Primary Village!”

“Well, that’s good news.” Shini smiled.

“Is it really close?” asked Tai.

“According to my new recent friend, it is.” Fluttershy made way for a new figure. He was a small red Digimon with a bushy tail and purple tips on his ears and tail.

“Elecmon!” T.K. and Patamon gasped.

“T.K.? Patamon? It that you?” Elecmon smiled before he embraced his old friends. “It has been a long time! Look how big you’ve grown!”

“It has been a long time.” Patamon nodded.

Elecmon then turned to the other Digidestined. “Digidestined! Good to see you all again!”

“Glad to see you again.” Izzy waved.

“And nice to meet your new friends as well.”

“Nice to meet you too.” Scootaloo reached to pet Elecmon only for him to mistake it for a handshake, but she didn’t mind.

Elecmon then turned to Leomon and Ogremon. “Leomon! Ogremon! How have you been?”

“Oh, you know. Same old. Same old.” Ogremon shrugged.

“Always happy to see an old friend.” Leomon smiled.

“Anyway, Fluttershy here was telling me you guys were on your way to the Primary Village.”

“That’s right.” Leo confirmed.

“Well, I was on my way back with the fish I caught when I met Fluttershy. I’ll be happy to take you right to it.” Elecmon walked up to a net full of fish and was about to try to lift when Love Shine lifted it up.

“If you like, I can carry this for you since you’re leading us to the village.” He offered.

“Much obliged. Okay, everyone, follow me!” Elecmon lead the group.

As they followed, everyone introduced themselves to Elecmon. Then, Applebloom spoke to T.K. “So, T.K., how’d you meet Elecmon?”

“Let me guess. You met him after Devimon separated you guys and had to remove a Black Gear from him?” Night Shine bluntly guessed as he walked by.

“Well, you’re half right. Patamon and I met him after we were separated by Devimon.” T.K. admitted before explaining more. “We came across the Primary Village and saw all the Baby Digimon and wanted to play with them. Elecmon came back and feared we were gonna hurt the babies and attacked us. After he and Patamon fought for a bit, I got them to settle this with a tug of war and Patamon won.”

“Would’ve preferred arm wrestling.” Raph spoke up before Elecmon continued.

“I admit, I was a little rash there, but I let them stay until the others found them. After they left File Island, I haven’t seen them until Joe and Mimi found me by the lake. You see, when the Dark Masters took over, their evil turned the Primary Village into a wasteland. Digimon could not rejuvenate. I felt sad and useless. When I heard T.K. and Patamon were fighting the Dark Masters, I joined the fight against Piedmon. After they defeated Apocylamon, I came back to resume my duties and take care of newly hatched Digimon. When I heard about the Digimon Emperor, I went to investigate only to be caught alongside some of my cousins. When the Digimon Emperor was gone, I went back to the Primary Village, but it took a bit because I had to hide from BlackWarGreymon. After that, I resumed taking care of these baby Digimon. Ah! Here we are!”

Everyone looked ahead to see a village that looked like it was meant for infants.

“Welcome to the Primary Village.”

“Sweet.” Casey grinned.

“Whoa.” Mikey awed.

“It’s beautiful!” Fluttershy gushed.

“So cute.” April cooed.

“Wow.” Smiled Sunset.

“Cool.” Karai added.

“Adorable.” Shini agreed.

“Amazing.” Twilight blinked.

“Not bad.” Raph shrugged.

“Impressive.” Donnie grinned.

“Amazing.” Leo smiled.

“Glad to finally make it.” Keno sighed in relief.

“Splenderific!” Pinkie bounced.

“Hoowee!” Applejack whistled.

“Cool!” the CMCs said together.

“Awesome.” Rainbow whispered.

“How appropriate.” Rarity critiqued.

"This is wonderful." Starlight admitted.

“Nice décor.” Fugitoid observed.

“Aw!” Bebop and Rocksteady grinned.

“I like it.” Shine Boy smiled.

“Reminds me of some daycares I went to.” Gamer pondered.

“I’d want to live here if I was a baby.” Shine Girl complimented.

“Yeah.” Love Shine agreed.

“Not bad.” Night Shine shrugged.

“Wow!” Josh spoke. "Reminds me of my old play place from when I was a kid."

“So adorable.” Keramon added.

Unknown to them, Tai felt uncomfortable about them going near the village. He just took a deep breath and walked further away from them as Leo spoke to Elecmon.

“Hey Elecmon. Is there a place where we can train and not do any damage?”

“There’s an open area where you can. I let Digimon like Leomon train where the baby Digimon won’t get in your way. Why do you need to train?”

Leomon nodded. “We have heard of enemies nearby who are unleashing a virus onto their world. They are also creating strong Digimon with this substance called mutagen.”

“They haven’t bothered you or anything, have they?” Sunset asked.

Elecmon pondered. “No, but I have seen them. One night, while the baby Digimon were asleep, I heard a small noise. I looked and hid to this big guy with a grill around his face and pointy shoulder pads.”

“Gladitron.” Glared Shine Boy.

“Anyway, he was joined by two black knights. They took a couple Digi Eggs and took off and I haven’t seen them sense.”

Everyone looked at each other in concern.

“No doubt Ripley and Lewej are planning to mutate more Digimon.” Twilight theorized.

“Those poor Digimon!” worried Kari.

“We can’t let them get away with that!” Davis declared.

“That thought never occurred to me, Davis. And I think I speak for all of us as well.” Shine Boy looked to the others who nodded in agreement.

“Okay. We’ll rest for an hour. Then we’ll continue our training.” Leo instructed.

“While we do that, a couple of us can take turns keeping an eye on Ripley and his forces.” April suggested.

“I’d appreciate that, April.” Smiled Elecmon. “C’mon, everyone! I’ll show you where you can rest and help get you all setup.” He began to lead the heroes to the Primary Village.

To be continued
