Out in the Western Flatlands a cave dug into a cliffside were two digimon sitting near a fire. One was a large feline digimon and the other resembled an old man with a curious walking stick with what looked like a cat paw on top. The old looking digimon was called Jijimon and he was staring at the fire with what looked like great concentration while the younger feline remainded quiet and respectful. Then Jijimon lifted his head sharply catching the feline's attention instantly causing the red cat digimon to sit up from a laying position. "Pumamon, the time is now." Jijimon said gazing into the cat digimon now dubbed Pumamon and looked directly into the red cats sharp green eyes.
"What do you mean, Jijimon?" Pumamon said with a look of confusion in his eyes.
Jijimon took a deep breath before calmly and patiently saying "You remember the unique animal power you have and how I told you how important it was when you were a cub?" At Pumamon's nod Jijimon continued "That power is one of four and in ancient times it was possessed by one digimon who fell in battle to a dark digimon of great power. One of the ancient ones' four powers was passed to you, Pumamon, while the other three were passed on to three special digimon. The dark ones return falls closer by the day and there is only one way to stop the evil being."
"You want me to seek the digimon with those powers right, Jijimon?" Pumamon interjected causing Jijimon to sigh.
"It isn't that simple, Pumamon. I have been recieving visions of you with a human as well as silhouettes of a large group of digimon and, judging by the shapes of some of them, three of the silhouettes are the remaining bearers of the animal powers. That means this human is destined to become a Xros General and you and the others are her army." Jijimon said causing Pumamon's eyes to widen in surprise before Jijimon continued "As you know your animal power is Speed of the Puma but the other three are Eyes of the Hawk. Ears of the Wolf, and Strength of the Bear. Like you the other bearers will be animals that are the same as those respective powers."
"So aside from teaming up with a human and helping form an army I have to find three specific digimon representing a hawk, a wolf, and a bear." Pumamon said as he began pacing around the room in thought.
Jijimon looked back at the fire seemingly entering a trance before moments later he spoke up causing Pumamon to cease his pacing. "The human seems to have arrived but I see figures moving in on her. She is west of this cave. Go quickly to her, Pumamon, or your journey will stop before it starts!"
Hearing this Pumamon bolted out of the cave and down the cliffside before looking out onto the desert before turning west as he called out "Speed of the Puma!" His power flowed throughout his body as he took off running moving like a crimson streak across the sands hoping he wouldn't be too late.
Meanwhile out in the desert a fifteen year old girl groaned as she pushed herself up to a sitting position looking around seeing herself out in the middle of the desert. 'Where am I? How did I get out here in this desert? Last thing I remember is heading home from school before passing out?' she thought rubbing her head willing away a nasty headache threatening to burst free. Unknown to her three Gazimon saw her and were slowly closing in on her position seeing a lone human as potential easy prey.

This had been a wild shot. Chasing mirages in the most appropriate setting. In this case he was looking out over the flatlands. Someone had seen the image of a human wandering out here and that was bad news. Even with the strange nature of biology and time in the digital world it wasn't impossible for someone to just die out here, set upon by whatever scavengers thought to make use of the data-fied remains of a human being.
He had found what he was looking for though, and right at the perfect time, seeing those Gazimon circling like buzzard, making a bee-line for their target, a lone human girl in the wastes. He knew there had to be good Gazimon out there, there just had to, he wished he was able to see them more often so that he could let the statistic even out in his mind.
"HEY!" He said, his voice echoing through the empty landscape, drawing the attention of the Gazimon up to the massive insectoid-human shape and the actual human shape riding with his hands wrapped loosely around her shoulders. Marigold dropped out of the sky and landed in the sand with enough force to send up a plume o golden and bronzed particles around her. Zack dropped off of her back, walking in front of her, canting his helmeted head to one side and clearing his throat as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. He looked at the trio, speaking only four words in an impossibly grave tone. "Make. the. good. choice." He said, kicking his right heel out one direction to let them see and hear the lightbulb buzzing of his hard light boot heel coming to life. He punched his palm with his other gloved hand, cracking his knuckles harshly and then doing the opposiite hand. It was a bit more harsh and intimidating than he usually liked, but gauging the meter of how well it worked or how well known he was getting to be was often good enough data, statistically, to make the over the top gesture worth it.
"I'd listen to the man if I were you. You don't want to know what happens if you make bad choices." She said, putting much more muscle and edge into her voice as she mimicked her father's motion just behind him, Punching her palms and cracking her knuckles, though at the size of the massive Stingmon the motions and flourishes sounded much more like the popping of gunshots right above the long grey ears of the Gazimon trio.
This display would be impossible for the lost young lady to not see, they weren't that far off and the shouting with the physical flourishes would make it impossible to not hear. It was the first real landmark she would have gotten in hours, maybe the first she'd had since she'd shown up. She wouldn't really have any context for what in the HELL was actually going on, but someplace to head was better than nothing at all right?

As the Gazimon got closer as in just close enough to leap at Kima an unfamiliar voice caused Kima squeak and jump to her feet in fright. Upon seeing the Gazimon and a human, maybe, with a large bug she froze not knowing what to do for a split second before turning on her heel and bolting from the strangers in her fright. The Gazimon looked dumbstruck at the sight of the tamer and Stingmon before the largest of the three said "Stay out of matters that don't concern you. We found the human girl first and thanks to you we'll have to chase her down." Sure they were scared of the Stingmon but hoped that their false confidence would work to make the interlopers leave.
Meanwhile a short distance away Pumamon caught sight of the human girl he was seeking and she looked as if she was running for dear life. What had frightened her so badly that she'd risk further harm by dashing into the desert on her own. He supposed that didn't matter now as he would easily catch up to her. Soon he darted ahead of her coming to a stop but she didn't have time to stop on time herself before running into the large red digimon falling back on her butt. Groaning she looked up into the green eyes of a large red cat. "Are you okay?" Pumamon asked and recieved an answer that, while understandable, he wasn't expecting as the teen girl let out an ear piercing scream as she trembled and scooted several feet away from him. This was going to be harder than he thought.

"Alright dad, you heard them." Marigold said, rolling her neck and looking down on the trio before turning her head to look out at Kima bolting for the nonexistent hills. the dunes in this case she guessed as she rearranged the idiom in her head. "Plus we should probably do something about her before she hurts herself or gets lost again." She said, jerking a thumb over her shoulder to draw his attention back to the poor confused girl who was hoofing it through the dunes.
"You make an excellent point, baby girl. Alright, don't say we didn't warn you." he said, moving without any secondary warning and without even removing his arms from his chest, simply picking up his headlight boot and dropping a punishing ax kick on the skullcap of the central Gazimon that was standing closest to him.
Marigold didn't wait for anything else either, reaching out with her massive clawed hands and picking up the other two goon by their silver-purple ears, swinging her arms out and then SMASHING them duo against one another like she was banging a pair of cymbals together with the intent to break them.
They both hoped that that would be enough to convince the trio to either stay down or take a hike, though Marigold did give them extra incentive by twirling them end over end like the ends of a jump rope in either hand before sending them up in an arc that had them landing harshly in the dunes.
Zack was anxious, though it didn't seem like the felid digimon had any harm planned for the human girl...yet. He wanted to get these three stooges out of the way before this got any more out of control.

It seemed their false bravado led the trio into the most epic of ass whoopings starting with Zack bringing his boot down upon the lead Gazimon's head causing him to yelp in pain as he hit the sand face first. His partners seemed to fare no better as they were plucked off the ground by their ears and smashed together like cymbals causing them to yelp as well while begging for mercy. Their begging seemed to fall on deaf ears as they were then pitched well into the dunes as if mere toys which, to be fair, to a champion digimon they would be by comparison. The remaining Gazimon groaned and pushed himself up spitting out sand. Whimpering he looked up at Zack and Marigold before making himself scarce by following the scent of his companions.
Meanwhile with Kima and Pumamon, the large red feline didn't make any move closer to the human seeing as he didn't want to frighten her even more. Instead, in a calm and gentle tone, he asked "Are you okay, miss?"
Kima, fortunately, didn't move more than the frightened trembling and nodded before she asked "What and who are you? Where is this place and, for that matter, how can you talk?"

"Do you think we were being too harsh?" Zack said as he casually turned around, tucking his hands into the pockets of his coat and walking with her. It seemed like the feline digimon was keeping her in place for the moment without letting her bolt off so they decided to approach at a walk, nothing would really be gained from sprinting toward her or dropping out of the air behind her. Might give the poor thing a heart attack.
"We gave them fair warning and let them run off with their tails between their legs. They'll have some headaches for a few days but they'll be fine. Maybe it's just what they needed to get them to shape up and fly right." She said, shrugging, shrinking down from the champion form, buzzing beside him in the form of that large golden bee, her crimson scarf rolling in the wind to one side of her head.
"To answer your questions in order..." Zack said, walking into earshot of her frantic questions and raising his voice to be able to reply. "He is a digimon, a digital monster, who has yet to introduce himself. This place is called the Western Flatlands though more broadly this is the Digital World. He can talk because all Digimon can talk, well, most of them. Say Hi, Marigold."
"Hi Marigold." She said, giggling at her own bad joke.

Kima was now looking a bit calmer but was confusion was clearly written on her face as she tried to piece what she heard together. "Wait, this is another world? Digital World? Like a computer and it is inhabited by talking sentient monsters?"
"That's right, miss. This is a digital plane that coexists alongside your Human World and digimon of many shapes and sizes live here. Fortunately not all of them are aggressive towards humans." Pumamon said sitting down not approaching her incase he would startle her off wondering how he would explain why she was there.
Kima looked over at the tamer and digimon duo and giggled a bit at the little bee digimon whose name was Marigold before looking back at Pumamon and asked "So digimon have names like humans?"
Pumamon nodded before he said "Some do. Some that have names choose them for themselves if they don't have parents or their parents may or may not name them." Pumamon knew that discussing the Village of Beginnings or that digimon came from eggs was not important right now. "Anyway I don't have a name. I simply go by my species name, Pumamon."
"You do look like a Human World Puma when it comes to size and that some can have red fur but the stripes on you legs, the patch of black on your tail, and your green eyes, though pretty, are quite different." Kima said as she looked the large red cat over before facing everyone and said "I'm Kima. Nice to meet you."
She looked as if she was calming down and suddenly felt warmth in her pocket where her phone was and seeing glowing. Shocked at the sight, she dug her hand into her pocket pulling out her glowing phone as it transformed into a new device that was green like the forest with gold highlights. Pumamon realized that Jijimon was completely right just then as it seemed a Xros Loader has appeared before his eyes. "What just happened to my phone?" Kima asked looking totally perplexed.

"That. My poor, confused friend is what we call a digivice." he said, reaching down and unclipping his own from his ankle, swinging it from its lanyard at the end of one finger to show his own. "It is not your best friend and the only thing that's going to keep your head on straight around here considering most "real world" electronics don't function very well in the digital world." He said, tossing his digivice up and catching it sharply in the palm of his gloved hand before tucking it in the right hand pocket of his coat.
He reached up, unclipping the custom, bee patterned motorcycle helmet from his head, pulling himself out of it and shaking his head, running a hand through his short trimmed blonde locks, giving her a glinting her smile as he tucked the helmet under his right arm. Wearing his mask around normal people was generally a little less than helpful. The point of it was to make him look less like a normal, mortal twenty something which was good when it came to spooking thugs and mafiosos but not as great when it came to talking to people face to face when he WASN'T trying to intimidate them.
"I'm Zack, though in my work clothes I tend to go by The Digi Rider. This is my lovely daughter Marigold." He said, motioning up to the bee just over his shoulder and she waved one of her little pointed leg parts at the woman in the sand.
"Hiya" She said, closing her eyes in a grinning look. Well, the closest she could get to a grin with mandibles instead of a mouth.
"She and I are what you might call vigilantes. I prefer the term "superhero" but what are you gonna do, people will call you what they wish." He said with a chuckle. He reached out one of his bronze gloved hands, giving her a smile. "I want you to know that you're in no danger here. Digimon aren't all bad, they're no more bad than people they're just a bit...well...one of a kind."

Kima looked between her digivice and Zack's noting the differences before she said "It sure looks quite different than mine though. Unlike yours, mine is still phone shaped."
"That is because digivice's come in different models." Pumamon said relieved that at least this was something easy to explain. "The different digivices have some features in common though. That man their has a digivice that indicates him as a tamer which is a human who works side by side with either one digimon or a set of twins. Yours, however, is quite different as it is called a Xros Loader which is the digivice of a Xros General. Xros Generals lead an army of digimon and cooridinate their forces to efficiently deal with various forces."
Kima seemed to be taking the information in before she then said something that surprised Pumamon. "I'm what you call a Xros General? No. No. I can't be. I'm not a leader. No....." She wasn't exactly confident at the start but she seemed to be withdrawing as if confidence was something the teenager suffered with on a regular basis. Pumamon was confused on how he was destined to work with Kima though she did seem nice enough.
Pumamon looked at Zack and Marigold looking as if he was at a loss of what to do. He didn't mean to upset her. "Zack. Marigold. I don't know what to do." he said sounding as lost as he looked.

"Maam, MAAM." He said, very firmly pitching up his voice into a confident and heroic register, reaching down and placing his hands on her shoulders. "First of all, stand up." He said, taking her hand and hoisting her to her feet, showing off that despite the fact that he looked like a perfectly normal dude, he was able to smoothly help her stand with one hand. "Second of all, take a breath alright? This all sounds INSANE. I realize that and I'm dressed like a biker from The Bee Movie." he said, letting his voice drop into a much more slow and understanding patter, patting down the shoulders of her shirt and stepping back. "This is not the end of the world, ok?" The correct way to phrase it would be that it's not the end of the world YET but he wanted to help her stop panicking not make it work. "You don't have to make all these decision yourself, alright? You've got partners, digimon who will be there for you, not to mention separate digimon and tamers who will lend you a hand, ok? I mean, look at me, I'm making it through alright and my daughter is ABSOULUTLEY smarter than me." he said, pointing his thumb up at Marigold who nodded sharply.
"Damn straight." She said, again with a look one could swear was a grin even though she didn't have lips.
"Language, young lady." He said, though it would be clear to anyone present that she only could have heard that popular curse from him in the first place.

Zack spoke outloud but that was not what caught Kima's attention. No. It was being grabbed by her shoulders before taking her hand and hoisting her to her feet. She stared at him shocked not realizing her necklace had fallen off from around her neck yet.
After taking a deep breath she seemed to calm down though before she said "Sorry but the whole being a general is very overwhelming to me. I don't know if I can handle partnering with one digimon never mind an army."
If Kima was going to freak out at this then it made Pumamon all the more hesitant to explain why he was looking for her. Deciding to shoot from the hip for once he took a deep breath before he said "Kima, I hate to upset you again but you were brought to the Digital World for a reason. A digimon called Jijimon who is both a friend and father figure to me had a vision of you and I teaming together but that is not the strangest part. I need your help to find the digimon in the vision mentioned specificially three digimon representing a wolf, a hawk, and a bear. A long time ago powers from four animals belonged to one digimon and when he was defeated by a dark digimon the four powers were lost to time soon being reborn into four digimon. I am one of them. As for the dark one Jijimon says his rebirth is soon to happen and he can't be stopped until not only the four powers are reunited but the whole army is brought together."
Kima remained quite the whole explaination before she began to pace while she said "But why me of all humans. Surely there were better choices for such a mission. I-I don't know if I can be of use. I feel so lost."
Unknown to everyone the lead Gazimon from before came creeping out of hiding and it seemed his allies wanted nothing to do with getting a potential beating. In this case though, Gazimon was being sneaky spotting the dropped necklace and dove for it, grabbed it, and made a break for it. Kima saw that and after checking her neck for a few seconds, said "Oh no! That smelly monster has taken my necklace. It has been in my father's side of the family for generations. Pumamon, Zack, Marigold, Can any of you stop him?"
"I would be more than glad to." Pumamon said staring down Gazimon as he rose to his feet. "Speed of the Puma!" he called out before speeding off looking like a blur before cutting off Gazimon and knocking him to the ground with a swipe of his paw before pinning him down. "You know that necklace isn't yours."
The smirk on Gazimon's face made him wary and before he could say anything the other two Gazimon leapt out from behind another dune near them and pounced on Pumamon clawing at his back the red feline releasing their leader in an attempt to shake the pair on his back. Pumamon was wanting to kick himself for falling for such a trap but now he had to deal with the consequences of charging so recklessly.

"Trust me kiddo, that's what I thought too. This little lady literally almost materialized in my lap in the middle of the night. I thought I was going nuts and for a while after that, I thought I had to BE nuts to think that I could ever be the kind of person she needed. Things changed, I got better. When life tosses you on your head, backwards, sometimes the only thing you can do is laugh and pretend you understand any of what's going on." He said, unable to help himself from feeling a protective and brotherly instinct toward that lost, new general. Every new human in the Digital World had to basically flip their perceptions of reality in general and normalcy in particular, basically annihilating the concept from their mind. He listened to Pumamon's speech, his hands on his hips, head canted to one side, whistling at the end of the story. "Well...shit. I mean you can't really argue with a call to action like that, right? Sounds like an adventure at the very least." He said, trying to be confident and only a little flippant in order to let Kima process things without it seeming more grave than it already was.
Everyone was distracted by the sudden jumping of the Gazimon into view as he shot off with the necklace. Zack and Marigold collectively rolled their eyes. Marigold buzzed forward with a sharp clip, blowing up plumes of dust around her as she began to glow with a crackling white-gold energy.
"Appearently you bastards didn't get the memo!" She said, suddenly skidding to a stop in her full Stingmon form She reached down, grabbing the two Gazimon off of Pumamon's back. She wasn't playing with kid gloves this time, simply tossing them underhanded as far as she could manage, leaving them soaring in high and wide arcs toward the dune covered horizon. "I mean come on, we try to be merciful with this little superhero gig as much as we can but sometimes it just comes down to needing to knock some sense into your head."
Zack, for his part, reacted much more casually, whistling as he walked up to the Gazimon and reached down, picking him up by the ears. It really was convenient for the little trouble makers to have such nice handles come prepackaged. He hoisted him up to eye level, having put his helmet back on so the Gazimon could see his own face looking back at him in that deep black visor.
"Alright little man, there's literally no purpose for you to steal a necklace like that except to just be mean. So why don't you drop it, right here, right now, and I won't be forced to give you another complimentary skull compression, alright?" He said, more than a little confident. Between him and Pumamon while Marigold dealt with the other two chuckle heads the Gazimon didn't have a prayer of walking out of her under his own power unless he took Zack up on that.

Kima looked between Zack and Marigold when he said that she had appeared on his lap before she said "She appeared on your lap. I wouldn't blame you for thinking you were crazy. If a large bee showed up in my lap like that I would probably think the same thing." Then she thought back on what Zack said earlier and said "Wait. You said Marigold was your daughter. Is this a normal thing regarding digimon?"
"Digimon and humans can share many different relationship dynamics. Though a parent/child one isn't common as far as I know but it doesn't surprise me that much." Pumamon explained making things a bit easier for Zack or Marigold if they needed to mention anything else.
When Pumamon called out Speed of the Puma, Kima gaped in surprise as he zipped across the sand looking like a red blur barely visible to the naked eye. It only lasted at most seconds as he caught up with the Gazimon in no time pinning the thief to the ground with one of his paws. Before Kima could breathe a sigh of relief, however, the other two Gazimon from before had leapt on Pumamon's back and were slashing at his back. "Oh no! Pumamon!" she said looking frozen on the spot tears appearing in her eyes. Why was this? She didn't know this digimon but, at some level, she could feel he wanted to help even if the reason they were meant to work together seemed crazy. As much as she wanted to go to him she seemed frozen in place.
Fortunately Marigold, after becoming Stingmon once again, flew towards the scene plucking the two Gazimon off Pumamon's back flinging them as far as she could the furballs disappearing in the distance. As for the lead Gazimon he was grabbed by his long ears causing him to yelp in surprise as Zack lifted him to eye level. "You don't scare me human. I grabbed this necklace off the ground fair and square so I won't let go of it." As sparks began dancing through his fur he opened his mouth and said "Electri-"
"You sure you want to do that, friend." Pumamon said in a pained voice as it seemed the crimson feline had made his way over to where he was visible if Gazimon turned his head. Gazimon did not disappoint and turned his head to see that the end of Pumamon's tail was now riddled with painful looking spines and he was swishing the tail menacingly. "Drop the necklace or you will have more needles in you than a cactus. Oh and if you think I won't strike because a human is close and may get hurt, don't worry I have good aim." Pumamon said cracking his tail like a whip for emphasis causing Gazimon to nervously gulp before dropping the necklace. Then the end of Pumamon's tail became smooth again as he used his tail to push Kima's necklack underneath him before making the spines appear once again. "Zack I think we can let our friend go. I'm sure this time he's learned his lesson. Right, Gazimon?" Pumamon said swishing his tail and Gazimon nodded.

Zack grinned, a terrible, awful grin underneath his helmet. And even though no one could see it underneath the energy of rougish MALICE that radiated off of his as he looked down into the Gazimon's eyes would be enough to send a shiver up his own daughter's spine. he shrugged.
"Yknow what, Pumamon? I think you're right..." he said, raising his free hand with one finger unfurled though to let it be known that he wasn't totally finished with the statement though. He hefted Gazimon to one side, Marigold catching him, and the cackling grin on HER face was very, very visible as she started to get an idea of what her father had in mind. "Go ahead, baby girl, this think you can get a record with this one, he seems a bit more scrawny." Zack said, turning on his heel and waving dismissively over his shoulder.
Marigold followed that lead, reeling back, holding the Gazimon like a football before with all of her strength and might she STAMPED forward into the sand and pitch him up, up and away, his shape getting smaller and smaller against the dusty, sunny sky, following in the same general direction of his twin compatriots. She clapped her hands against one another, snapping the dust and sand off of her claws before she shrunk back down to her FanBeemon form.
"Like we said before, we gave him a chance to make better choices. He'll land waist deep in some dune over the horizon and be spitting up sand for a week but he'll live." She said, shrugging her multiple sets of shoulders as she moseyed back up to Kima, Zack mulling over the question she had asked before they had all been so rudely distracted.
"The answer to that requires some...context...context I'm not at liberty to share. Not my secret to tell, you know how it is." He said, unclipping his helmet again, the skin underneath looking noticeably red and sweat even after only a few minutes. The kid was pale, especially so, and apparently wasn't coping perfectly with the heat pounding down on him.
"Nah, dad, it's alright. I'll tell her." Marigold said, waiting for Pumamon to come back into comfortable earshot as she settled onto the ground, looking up at Kima as she spun a little yarn. "Digimon don't usually "die" we're usually reborn after the end of a life cycle into a new egg. Most eggs end up in the Village of Beginnings but I was born to actual "parents" so my egg didn't appear there at first. My...first and only memories of my first life cycle is a bone chilling rain and a gnawing, empty hunger. No one to take care of me, not a single person or digimon in the whole world, worlds, whatever. I lived only long enough to realize how scared I was. Next thing I know I show up in his lap, a new egg, hatching and I just...I just..." He looked up at her father, tagging him in as the memories were still too raw for her to totally bear.
"She just started sobbing. Not like a baby crying, like a tiny, fragile thing so scared, so helpless in a world that had done nothing but leave her cold and lonely that she just broke down in my lap. I reached out on instinct, wrapped her up in my arms and made a promise to her and to myself that I'd never let her go."

When Zack handed the Gazimon to Marigold and the female Stingmon pitch the scrawny rookie out of sight like a football, he sighed before he said "Not what I had in mind but I guess that works. With luck Gazimon will think twice before trying to mug someone if that behavior continues." Then he scooped up Kima's necklace with his tail and walked back to her with Zack and Marigold.
When he held up the necklace to Kima she looked not only relieved but grateful as well as she said "Thank you for trying to get my necklace back, Pumamon and thank you Zack and Marigold for helping him. When he was ambushed I didn't know what to do and now he's hurt because I did nothing but stand here." She then accepted her necklace back and put it back on making sure it was more secure so such a thing wouldn't easily happen again.
Pumamon saw tears streaming down her cheeks and stretched up his tail trying to wipe them from her eyes before he said "It's okay, Kima. Getting hurt was my fault. If I was more wary I wouldn't of gotten ambushed in the first place. I should of just knocked Gizamon, grabbed the necklace, and ran."
"But you.."
"Calm down, Kima. Digimon heal faster than humans so in a couple of days I won't even have a single scratch." Pumamon said as he carefully lay down on his belly in the sand resting his head in his paws.
Zack and Marigold then began to tell how the two of them met and it was heart wrenching to hear. As she listened she knelt down next to Pumamon inspecting the scratching on his back. When both tamer and digimon were finished Kima, who was again crying, said "That's terrible for someone so young to suffer through."
Pumamon lifted his head and saw how awful Zack looked as clearly the outfit he was wearing was not made for the heat but before he or Kima could speak up a voice called out over the dunes as it said "Pumamon, thank goodness you are alright and it looks like you found the girl who is meant to be your general." Then the Jijimon spotted Zack and Marigold and said "A human and a Fanbeemon? My predictions never alerted me of you two but it is a pleasant surprise nonetheless." Then he saw the rough shape Zack was in and reached into his bag before offering Zack some water. "Drink this and all of you come with me to be out of this heat." he said before turning to lead them all back the way he came.
