Joseph and Mosamon were walking through the Jungle, making sure to keep out of sight from any threats that they might have encountered, but so far things seemed to actually be pretty quiet and peaceful. Mosamon had coiled herself around Joseph once again, and the man had removed his vest and rolled up his sleeves and pant-legs once more, not really worried about small bugs since most things in the Digital world were large enough to see from a distance. However, no matter how much he had prepared himself and reduced the amount of layers he wore, he was still sweating thanks to the heat and humidity, though Mosamon seemed positively happy in the jungle heat. Coming to a small stump in the jungle, Joseph took a seat and pulled out a water bottle from his bag and took a big sip from it.
"Are you certain that Marshal and Coronamon will meet us out here Joseph?" Mosamon asked, looking around the dense woods, making sure that their current area was safe to rest at. "Ah... well, that's what he said, so I see no reason not to believe him." Joseph said, offering a bit of water to Mosamon as well, before putting the bottle back into his bag. "Oh Joseph. look over there!" Mosamon said, excitement clear in her tone of voice. Looking to where she motioned, Joseph could see a couple oddly shaped rocks, and going over to examine them, he saw that they were bricks, carved from stone.
"Ha! I think we're getting close! I remember tell of an old city in this jungle, well, one of many old cities. It's a large ruin with an even larger temple, and there could very well be treasure in the temple." Joseph said, Mosamon simply giving him a nod and looking around again. This time though, something caught her eye and she let off a hiss toward the upper levels of the trees. "Mosamon? Do you see something?" He asked, following her glaze up into the upper levels. "I... thought I saw a small humanoid shape..." She hissed quietly under her breath.

Marshal and Coronamon had been asked to go back to the jungle by Joseph and Mosamon. They were studying the old ruins surrounding the area and required assistance. Of course, Marshal had reasons of his own for going back to the jungle. After the whole fiasco with Juro's Digimentals, Marshal wondered if there were more for him and Coronamon to find so the Digimon could evolve further. Normal Digivolution seemed almost out of the question at this point for the poor Rookie, who almost seemed to be getting frustrated with his apparent lack of progress.
Finally, they had made it to the designated meeting place. Marshal waved down Joseph. "Hey, you two!" he greeted, grinning at his friends whom he hadn't seen in a while. "How've you been doing?" Even though Joseph was probably close to ten years older than Marshal, he still felt like Joseph was one of his closest friends.

The sound of something approaching caused Mosamon to quickly turn her head in the direction and let out a low hiss, only for it to drop off when she saw that it was Marshal and Coronamon. "Itsss only you two... alright... hello." Mosamon said quietly, before looking up in the treeline once again. "Heya guys. It's been pretty good for us, how about for you two?" Joseph asked, smiling at them and waving to them. Heading back to the semi-clearing and climbing over a tree, Joseph looked to the jungle canopy once again, just to make sure.
"So Mosamon found some stone bricks over behind us, and we think that it will lead us to the city in question." Joseph said, motioning behind him with his thumb. "Joseph..." She hissed softly. "Right, right... we think a Digimon might be keeping an eye on us, but we didn't get a good look at it, so keep an eye out, alright?" He added, giving the canopy one last look before pulling out a small digital map that showed their area for the most part. "So, based on this map and a bit of the direction I was directed in, if we keep heading South East, we should find the city and the temple." Joseph said, pointing to the map that, sadly, only really showed green and some various shades of green.
Mosamon used her tail to point to the map and spoke softly, "There is a semi-deep river that's supposed to pass through the ruins too, so if we find the river it should lead us there." Joseph gave the Snake a pat on the head and folded the map up. "Alright then! Ready for a bit more adventure you two?" The Tamer asked, grinning at the two. To the South East there would be more and more signs of the City Ruins in question, and even the river would soon come into view.

"Just another day in the life," Marshal grinned. "What do you think, Coronamon?"
"Whatever," the Digimon huffed. Marshal's expression immediately hardened. It was unlike Coronamon to cop an attitude. Marshal was sure that the whole Digivolving problem was weighing on the poor guy. After all, they couldn't rely on Armor Digivolving for much longer. Their enemies seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. The only reason they were able to survive in the forest against Okuwamon was because Dust was able to Digivolve to Ultimate. The two of them stayed together and followed Joseph and Mosamon into the jungle.

Joseph stretched and fanned himself a tad bit, stopping a moment and putting his hair up into a ponytail. They had been walking alongside the river for a bit of time and Joseph could see more and more traces of the ruins as they continued further into the jungle. "Hmm so... what have you two been up too since we last ran into each other?" Joseph asked, looking back at Marshal and Coronamon. Mosamon uncoiled from Joseph and rose above the group to getting a better look at the forest around her.
"Mosamon and I recently joined DATS, and I got a new Digivice of sorts." Joseph said, showing Marshal the new green device. Up above them, Mosamon scanned the jungle brush and the canopy for any signs of anything, only to see several shapes moving through the jungle around them, but none of them close enough to offer any real danger, yet. Falling down and retaking her place around Joseph, Mosamon hissed quietly in his ear what she saw.

"Woah, you joined DATS?" Marshal gasped. "I actually was there a while back to register Coronamon, and I applied there too, but I'm not sure I really want to join them yet. It seems like a pretty big commitment. That's really cool, though! That Digivice looks awesome."
The group traveled further through the jungle before Marshal remembered Joseph's original question. "Well, when we're free, Coronamon and I have been exploring the whole continent, seeing what's out there. We've had quite a few adventures so far, and more than a few close scrapes, but it's been fun so far!"
"Speak for yourself," Coronamon muttered under his breath. Presumably nobody except Mosamon would be able to hear what he had said.

Joseph smiled and nodded, before putting the new Digivice back into his pocket. He still had his original Digivice shown proudly on his hip, but the new one was always close enough for him to grab on a moment's notice. "I could understand that, you're still a bit young so I can see you not wanting to commit to something like that right away." Joseph said, giving the youth a shrug before moving a bit closer to Marshal, Mosamon slithering off his shoulders and moving back near Coronamon.
"Oh yeah? That sounds like it would be a lot of fun, I've got to explore this world more as well! There is so much to see and do I'm sure." Joseph said, before he put an arm around Marshal's shoulder and leaning in a bit. "Yep, we can have lots of adventures," Joseph said loudly, before getting pretty quiet, "we're being followed and are a little surrounded by small digimon... don't know what they are but Mosamon said there is a lot..." Removing his arm from Marshal and moving a bit away from him, Joseph pulled out his water and took another sip, before wiping his forehead clean.
Mosamon flew to Coronamon and circled the small red Digimon, before floating next to him a bit, her head equal level to his. "Aside from being surrounded... what is wrong? Are you doing ok?" She would quietly ask, scanning from side to side occasionally.

"I see," Marshal whispered. "I'll follow your lead. Have you had much luck Armor Digivolving Mosamon? We may need it if we do get attacked."
"Well," Coronamon began, looking away from his human partner to speak with Mosamon. "I feel like I should've Digivolved to the Champion level by now. I Digivolved to my Armor form almost the same day I met you two, and since then I've not been able to go any further. It's very frustrating, and I feel like our enemies in the future won't be taken out so easily. I feel like I'm letting down myself and could potentially cause Marshal to be in danger."

Joseph smiled at Marhsal, putting the water bottle away and giving the youth a shrug. "Ehh not quite. Haven't really had a need to use it, and hoping I don't really have to use it, you know." Joseph said, the last sentence a bit louder then the last one, as if he was trying to talk to more then just Marshal. "But if need be... Mosamon is ready." He added, nodding over to Mosamon who simply nodded back to him. Joseph could almost swear he heard some rustling in the leaves and bushes all around them, but he couldn't pin-point the source.
Mosamon floated around Coronamon in a small circle, but still with enough room for Coronamon to move and everything if he wanted. It seemed as if the other Digimon was frustrated with his strength, or at least, lack there of. "I see... I recently met two digimon who could reach Mega level... said it took them a year... so perhaps Champion is just a harder place to reach then you think..." She hissed gently, before looking around them again.
"Hurry up you two, we're getting close!" Joseph would call out to the two Digimon, while in the distance, through the trees, the beginning of the city just coming into view. "See, just had to follow the river, just like I told ya!" Joseph said with a grin, seeing roads appear out of the underbrush.

"Maybe you're right," Coronamon said, nodding and giving the fellow Rookie a light smile. "Thanks for the pep talk, Mosamon. I need to learn to be more patient like Marshal." The two of them caught back up with their Tamers.
"I guess I'll never question your sense of direction, at least!" Marshal noted. "Coronamon and I explored this place somewhat thoroughly, and we never came across anything like this." Quietly, he got up closer to Joseph and whispered. "Do you know how many of them are watching us right now?"

Mosamon gave Coronamon a nod and quickly flew through the air and coiled herself around Joseph, the Tamer giving her a soft pat on the head before chuckling at Marshal. "I just make sure I'm properly prepared if I can, after that it's pretty simple." Joseph said, before looking around them a bit and at the city coming into view. "I don't really know... and I just realized that this... might be their home." Joseph whispered, before Mosamon suddenly rose up a bit from Joseph and started to look around rapidly. "They come!" Joseph looked around just in time to see a strange monkey shape strike him. Mosamon, Marshal, and Coronamon would have the same shapes launch at them, no real time to react.
The world would grow dark for Joseph and Marshal for now....
Joseph let out a groan and lifted his head, before opening his eyes and letting out a groan, a pain obvious on his head. It would soon be followed by an uncomfortable feeling on his wrists and ankles. Looking around, he'd see Mosamon and Coronamon off to the side, tied up but awake, and barely see behind him who he could only guess was Marshal. "Ugh... Marshal... Marshal wake up." He'd say in slightly groggy, but panicked manner. Mosamon let out a happy hiss and tried to nudge Coronamon. "Look, look, their getting up." She'd say, before hearing a lot of rustling around them.
Noticing their surroundings for the first time, Joseph saw that they had indeed made it to the ruins of the city, and based on the architecture of the building, the temple inside of it. That wasn't the only thing he saw though, and all around them there were strange green, loincloth wearing Monkeys. "They are Monmon... this is their home." Mosamon would hiss to Joseph. Looking at himself, he'd notice his Original Digivice was gone, and he'd assume the same could be said of Marshal, if the youth had it out in the open like Joseph did.

Marshal didn't even know what had happened. One minute he was walking along the river with Joseph, and now he was waking up in some strange temple to Joseph telling him to get up. Surrounding them seemed to be several Monmon. "What's going on?" he muttered. After taking everything in, he looked over at Coronamon, who was also just waking up. After exchanging a few understanding glances, Coronamon heated up his wrists in order to slowly burn off his bonds. Marshal noticed that his Digivice was gone, which meant that one of the Monmon had to have it. Hopefully, once Coronamon broke free, he could take care of these enemies and grab the Digivice back so he could Armor Digivolve.

Joseph looked over to the Digimon once more, and noticed that Coronamon seemed to be doing... something that could get them free. He was going to say something, when from above them he heard two voices arguing pretty loudly. "It was my Squad that brought them in!" One voice boomed, followed by a metallic bang on what Joseph assumed was the stone flooring or pillar. "Yes, but it was my squad that found their digivices." Another, not so booming voice responded. There was several monkey-like 'Ooos' and 'Aaas' that came after these two statements, as if the Monmon were agreeing.
"They are mine! I get to do what I want!" The booming voice said, the metallic bang louder now, closer then before. "You'd just hurt them! That might bring more Humans!" The other voice retorted, also louder then before. Joseph looked over at Marshal. "I think... we've been captured... and they are arguing about what to do with us..." He said, a bit quieter.
"Oh? And what would you do with them, huh? Have them make you their pet? Make them bring you to their world?" The booming voice said, sounding quite condescending. The other voice, the one that was more calm before suddenly sounded angry, "I will NOT be a PET! I tire of living like this, that is all!" Joseph struggled a bit, before realizing that he still had his DATS Digivice. "Marshal, do you think you could get my Digivice from my pocket?" He asked, looking back at the youth.

Marshal attempted to grab Joseph's Digivice from his pocket after doing a lot of wriggling around. After squirming around a bunch, he finally got the device in his hand and manage to hand it off to Joseph. At the same time, Coronamon managed to burn through the bonds and stood up on his feet, ready to bash some Monmon heads in. He quickly moved to untie Marshal.
"If you wanted to fight, you could've just asked!" Marshal sneered at the Rookie Digimon, who were starting to look increasingly panicked.

From above them, the panicked 'Ooos' and 'Aaas' seemed to alert the two arguing voices above the room. Dropping down from either side, sort of boxing the four in, were two large Digimon, both of which seemed decidedly Ape-like. From behind the white and black Digimon with a metal gun-like arm, there was a chanting of "Gorillamon" that could be heard, and behind the large yellow Digimon with a large bone club on it's back a chanting of "Apemon" could be heard. Joseph took a gulp of air and Mosamon, freed from her bonds at the same time as Coronamon, flew to her tamer's side.
She coiled around Joseph defensively as Apemon and Gorillamon circled the two teams, obviously unhappy with their captives getting free. From Apemon's hip, there were two Digivices dangling from a vine-like loop. "You... YOU AREN'T GOING!" Gorillamon yelled, slamming his hands onto the ground, shaking the area a bit. "Not until we had a talk..." Apemon said, staring down Joseph and Mosamon. "They... are Champion level..." Mosamon hissed softly, enough for Joseph, Marshal, and Coronamon to hear.
"Ok... go Mosamon..." He whispered, and held his Digivice hard. In a flash of light, Mosamon changed shape once more, "Mosamon Armor Digivolves too.... Chelomon!" Hovering about the two tamers and Coronamon was a large Turtle Digimon. Chelomon suddenly spun very quickly in place, causing all the Digimon around them to jump back. As Coronamon finished freeing Marshal, the ropes holding him also loosened and Joseph dashed forward and grabbed the vine holding the Digivices, tossing them back to Marshal.
