Want Smore? [Anna]

After leaving the mysterious manor house which stood, hidden in the shadows of the ancient trees. Anna found herself walking through the remainder of the forest, alongside her new ‘partner’ or so it seemed. She was still a little hazy about all of that. It had all happened very quickly, although she wasn’t going to complain (too much). At least, she had someone to keep her company as they wandered without direction through the dark woods, almost completely eclipsed by the thick canopy of leaves overhead. “C-can we get out of here, soon. It’s super creepy and there might be more of those ghosts. I don’t want to meet any more ghosts,” Anna whimpered as they walked, her arms wrapped around herself.

“Oh buck up,” the BlackGatomon whom Anna had decided to nickname Tsuki – after the moon – said, coldly. “It’s not my fault I can’t find the way out. The Digivice...” she pointed at the tiny calculator-like device which now hung from a chain as a makeshift necklace. “I can’t use it as a tracker any more. It’s how I found you. But now I have you,” pausing to roll her eyes. “We are stuck walking until we find the exit.”

“But Tsuki… It’s getting really dark, we should probably stop for a while? So that the g-” She started to say but was cut off by Tsuki’s look. “If you say ghosts one more time. I’m going too g- ” Tsuki herself paused and looked up, her ears twitching.

She could hear a loud noise nearby. That’s a little odd, maybe another traveller or worse. Tsuki gave Anna a look, which meant to stay here. Like the darkness itself, Tsuki walked gingerly forward on all fours. Anna bent down under the shade of a great oak tree overhead, watching as Tsuki moved towards the noises.

From around the cover, she could see another Digimon of some kind. Almost, like a strange jellyfish creature. As she was unsure if it was dangerous or safe, Tsuki kept to the shadows and watched it, as it scratched a piece of steel to a rock – causing a lot of noise and sparks to fly from the pair.

Anna bent forward a little to take a peek herself. But as she did so, a drop of dew dropped down from a tree leaf overhead right on Anna’s exposed neck causing her to jump and let out a loud scream. “Oh, perfect,” Tsuki whispered, rolling her eyes.

With sudden care for her wellbeing – Tsuki jumped forward, landing gracefully right in front of Anna. “If you want her, you’ll have to go through me,” she spat at the odd jellyfish-like Digimon, teeth bared. Tsuki raised her paws, so the long blackened claws pointed directly at Keramon’s throat.

However, Tsuki didn’t need to act in such a violent manner. It was clear in Anna’s eyes that the odd Jellyfish was no threat, just by the way it was cowering – hands over its face. Anna stepped forward past Tsuki and towards the jellyfish. “Oh, hello. I hope I didn’t frighten you. I’m new to this whole… place… whatever it’s called.” Tsuki put her paw down and sighed, “Digital World. We’ve been over this. Digital World.”

“Right, Digital World. Anyway, we’re not going to hurt you. Honest. My name is Anna and this is my friend, Tsuki,” she said, first pointing to herself and then to BlackGatomon who had arms folded around herself and was rolling her eyes again. “What’s your name? If I may ask?” 

Before Anna could say more, Tsuki interrupted, again, with a great air of hostility. “And why the fire? Planning to cook us when you catch us? Or what?”

With a warm smile, Anna took a tentative step forward forwards the odd but rather sweet jellyfish-like monster. “It’s nice to meet you, Mae. We’re not going to fight with you! Don’t worry” Anna added, placing a hand onto the top of Mae’s head and patting her softly. “We mean you no harm!” However, behind Anna’s back – Tsuki was still giving an utterly furious death glare directed solely at Mae.

“Oh! You’re making Smores. That’s a yummy idea!” Anna added, looking as she pointed to the various ingredients; crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows. Tsuki didn’t say anything but let out a noise that sounded like a huff and stepped forward towards the makeshift camp. “Oh you don’t, I can try and help you,” again, smiling brightly at the little Keramon. “Sure, how about we make the smores together? Then, we can help each other out. What do you think?” Anna looked first at Mae and then across to Tsuki who rolled her eyes.

“No thanks. I don’t have time for such foolishness,” again she huffed and then decided to perch upon the branches of an ancient-looking oak tree so she could stare down upon the pair with disgust and annoyance etched upon every portion of her cat face.

Anna continued to pat the head of the Jellyfish Digimon now known as Mae, in a comforting sort of way and hopefully to let her know, she was trustworthy and kind of heart. Even if her partner was, a little grumpy. Tsuki was lying on the taller branches of an ancient oak, trying to watch over Anna, as well as to ignore the pair. To mixed effect.

Anna jumped at the word, turning to look at the strange but oddly kind-hearted creature before her. “You’re sad, Mae? You know when I finish helping you make these s’mores. I’d be happy to hear you out if you’d be willing? Maybe I can help you out!” From the higher branches, an audible sigh floated down upon them. Anna ignored it and bent down to help Mae open the bags and start preparing the S’mores. "I like you a lot! I hope we can be friends!"

She as about to ask what Mae meant by ‘good form’ but an echoing thumping in the distance caught her attention. It was almost like an earthquake, but earthquakes don’t usually roar… From between the trees, a great black snout came into view. It sniffed twice, then let out a vicious roar – revealing rows of yellowing teeth. “What is that?!” Anna said, taking a step backward. It was a wise move as whatever it was, literally bent to of the trees apart to get through the narrow gap. Bramble and branches went everywhere. But it only revealed the monster behind the trunks. A great black dinosaur. Tsuki jumped down from the tree to land at Anna’s side. “I advise we run, Anna,” ignoring Mae completely, clearly not bothered if the dinosaur monster ate her. “Now, move.”
Anna was rooted to the spot and unable to move. “What is that, Tsuki, Mae?” The great black monster stomped forward, crushing the trees around them as it’s long tail thrashed. “Well, that’s a DarkTyrannomon. A vicious dinosaur infected by a computer virus or so they say…”

The great beast let out a terrible roar as it stomped forward, towards the small group. It’s tiny, feral eyes locked directly on Anna for some reason. Anna screamed and covered her head with her arms, as she was showered by a deluge of small tree branches and leaves as the beast moved forward. “We should definitely go. Come, Anna,” Tsuki said, looking up at the mindless monster. Anna opened her eyes just in time to see the strange little jellyfish transform.

Now, quite oddly, the one odd-looking jellyfish monster, with its oversized limbs and funny face looked completely different. Cute, even. She was smaller now and clothed in a thick floof of ginger fluff. She looked like a tiny little kitty cat! Anna opened her mouth, but instead of fear. A different feeling flowed out, as she let out a loud squee! “Aaaawww! You’re just the cutest now. Look at you, you’re so floofy and you got the little paws and the twitchy kitty ears.” Instead of backing off as she had been told too by both. She rushed forward to meet the new Mae. “Can I hug you? You’re so cute! So cute!”

The great DarkTyrannomon let out an indignant roar, as, after all, it was being ignored. The great jaws opened, revealing rows of pointed teeth. Then, the beast released a spray of flames from within the bowels of its body and spat them out, almost like a flamethrower. However, now it appeared as if it was more interested in Mae than Anna, thankfully. Tsuki moved forward and pushed her with both of her gloved claws, dragging her away from the battle. “Are you stupid? Do you want to die? That is a giant dinosaur. You are a tiny human, fool.”

“B-but, what about...” Anna said, turning around to look at Mae with worry lining her face.

With a look of worry, Anna followed Tsuki who was leading her away from the battle, towards the brush of trees which surrounded the area. “Will she be okay, do you think?” Anna asked, peering from around the trunk of a great oak tree. “Not exactly our problem,” Tsuki said, in a brisk manner stepping forward on all fours, trying to lead Anna away. “Let’s go. Leave them to it.”

Anna shook her head and continued to stare around the trunk of the tree. The adorable kitty was readying herself to fight the giant dinosaur monster. It spat a burst of flames from its mouth like a flamethrower but Mae jumped forward and then, two tendrils shot out from her body and let loose a volley of energy. “Woah, that’s amazing,” Anna said. “I think she’s going to be okay!”

The DarkTyrannomon let out a roar as the attack struck his thick, scaled body. It was clear that the beast was getting more and more furious. It was letting loose volleys of flames and spinning his body around, slashing the air and in the direction of Mae with sharp claws and spinning his long tail around, striking at the ground, furiously.

The DarkTyrannomon released a terrible roar as the kitty cat dodged his flames again with an incredible burst of speed. Mae with her new cat-like speed raced up a tree and then leaped from it like a springboard, sticking her sharp claws into DarkTyrannomon’s torso. The pain was clear as the great dinosaur let out a furious roar of pain and released a stream of flames into the air.

“Go gettum’ Mae!” Anna shouted from behind the tree! Tsuki let out a low annoyed purr and moved forward – grasping the girl’s arm and pulling her backward. “We need to go now. This is serious. This is dangerous. You can’t be hurt,” Tsuki said, coldly. “No, I won’t leave Mae, alone,” Anna called back, pulling against her.

“Fine,” Tsuki muttered, releasing the girl. “Just stand here and don’t get into the line of fire.” Tsuki sighed to herself and jumped out from behind the tree. A great black cloud appeared from around her body, spiraling around herself. The cloud slowly faded but retained a strange glowing black aura which sparkled every so often. With great cat-like speed, she jumped forward to assist Mae and slammed her own claw into the side of DarkTyrannomon’s face. "Lightning Paw!"
