Shai stretched and gave a bit yawn as she come out of her tent. She had already eaten some granola and packed up her things, but still wasn't completely alert. Mint hopped out of the tent behind her also looking rather tired. The digimon walked over to a near by stump and curled up on top of it. Shai just stood there looking a bit out of it until she saw Thomas coming back from the lake. "Good morning." She greeted him, while rubbing her eyes.

"Morning Shai." He smiled. "Having a good week?" He had a tired smile as if he knew she would respond with terrible sleep, just like everyone else.

"It's been okay..." She sighed. "Had trouble sleeping at night tho, so it's kind of hard to enjoy the daily activities." she explained.

Mint who had been sleeping on top of the stump suddenly jolted awake. "Ahh!" she hopped off the log and looked back and forth as if waiting for an attack. After a moment she let out a sigh and blushed up at the others. "oh, Hi... I uhm... Hi guys." She forced a smile.

Thomas chuckled. "Hey."
Ven nodded. "I understand the feelings. I think everyone here does."

"Yeah. I've noticed that a lot of people and even their digimon seem to be having the same problem since we got here." Shai nodded.

Mint sighed, "yeah wish we could find out what's causing it." The green puppy digimon said while scratching behind her ear. "There has to be some reason we're all having bad dreams and stuff. It couldn't be a coincidence."

"Actually that's where I'm going now." Thomas said. "Zoey thinks it's a digimon somewhere in the area."
"She went home though so it's just Thomas and i going searching." Ven sighed. "It's going to take forever."


"A digimon huh..." Mint looked up at him with squinted eyes, then grinned widely. "Sounds lagit! I'm in, maybe together we can find that Digi fast and get our beauty sleep back." She nodded.

"I hadn't thought of that, a digimon could cause it I suppose." Shai shrugged. "I guess we can come help you look. Never hurts to check things out."

Thomas nodded. "I just have no idea where to start."

"Maybe we should start just looking down the nearby trails. He can't be too far away if he's messing with your dreams." Mint stated factually.

"Yeah, let's try that one over there first." Shai pointed to a small path leading into the woods with a little sign that had digimon writing on it. "I think it circles around and comes back on the other side of the lake."

"Yeah, that's the one." Mint agreed. "Let's go."

Thomas nodded and shifted his bag so it was more comfortable. "Let's go." He started leading the way with Ven right next to him. "Do you have any idea of what kind of digimon can mess with dreams?" Thomas asked. "Especially with so many people and digimon."

Shai thought about it for a moment then shook her head. "I can't think of any off the top of my head. How about you Mintsalamon?"

"Hmm... I don't know for sure but there are rumors of other digimon who can alter dreams too. Tapirmon is one of them and the other I can't remember it's name." She explained. "Guess we'll just have to keep an eye out for any digimon acting strangely."


Thomas nodded and continued to walk. He didn't seem to get exhausted. Sure he yawned, but it was from the lack of sleep that he yawned, not physical exhaustion.
"No digimon around here." Ven said. "I wonder what is going on."

Mint nodded, "Yeah. I noticed that too. There doesn't seem to be any other digimon but us in this area." She mused. "That is strange."

Shai wasn't really tired either but did keep lagging behind a little. She seemed off in thought but responded to her digimon's statement. "Not really." She responded. "I mean Gennai said this area was protected by Centarumon. Maybe he just lets certain people in or something?"

"I don't know. Maybe." Mint said while crinkling her nose.

Thomas looked around and then paused. "Did you hear that?" He frowned and looked around.
Ven frowned. "I don't know." He sniffed as well. "But I do smell something weird."

Shai looked around, "I think it came from that way." She pointed off to the right.

Mint sniffed the air a few times. "Yeah something smells really fishy in that direction."


Thomas led the way. Ven moved protectivly in front of his partner. He was ready for a fight.

Shai and Mint followed Thomas and Ven. Shai pulled out her digivice instenctivly and Mint kept sniffing the air to try and see if she could figure out the smell.

Thomas gripped his own digivice and froze. He saw movement. "Shai." He whispered. "Look." He pointed towards the bushes near them.

Shai stopped in her tracks and looked toward the bushes where Thomas had pointed. There was indeed something there. "I see it." She whispered back. "Lets try and surround it." Mint over to one side slowly and crouched down ready to pounce if it tried to make a move.

Thomas and Ven moved into position. Once they were all ready Thomas charged forward.

Shai made her move as well, charging into the bushes.
Mint jumped in too, pouncing on top of it, "Petty Punch!" She attacked with a punch, hoping to knock it out if it was a digimon.

The attack hit Ven who went sprawling out. He groaned. Thomas looked around but the digimon seemed to have disappeared.

Mint got an embarrassed look on her face, "Oh... I'm sorry Ven." She apologized.

Shai looked around. "Well dang. It seems to have gotten away."

"No, it's still close by. I can smell him." Mint retorted.

"Him?" Shai raised a brow at her.

"Yeah the digimon." Mint crinkled her nose at her partner. "Why do you think I tried to use an attack on it? I mean I know your sleepy but come on Shai, get with the program." the digimon stated in a playful tone.

Thomas looked around and frowned. "Come on." He spotted something running through the bushes and charged after it. "GET BACK HERE!"

Shai and Mint followed after them. Mint able to move through the bushes a lot easier than the others due to her size. "Yeah, stop. Quit hiding and face us!" The digimon stated hot on the digimon's heals.

Ven lunged forward and wrapped his arms around the ghost elephant looking digimon.

Mint hopped over in front of the digimon, "Now you've got some explaining to do mister!"

Shai stumbled out of the bushes and paused for a moment before moving over to them. "So it was a Tapirmon after all. Good job guys."

The Tapirmon froze for a moment as if in a trance then he looked back up at mint. His eyes glowing red.

Thomas grinned. "Success! Good job Ven!"

Ven grinned holding the struggling Tapirmon tightly.

"You're not gonna get me to speak!" the tapirmon spat and struggled some more against Ven's grib.

"Oh yes you are. Puppy Howl!" She shouted the attack using it to stun Tapirmon and stop him from fighting. "Now why have you been messing with our dreams?"

"I will not answer." Tapirmon stated. "I will not betray my masters plan.

"really?" Ven growled. He pointed a claw at Tapirmon. "NO more warnings!"

"Wait, master?" Mint blinked her eyes and looked into the Tapirmon's glowing ones. "It's a kopya digimon! Quick find the grub." She said while inspecting the digimon like a detective.

The tapirmon began to struggled again but then froze, again seeming in a trance. When he snapped out of it he grinned at mint evilly. "How do you even know I'm here?" He asked slyly. "This could still be a dream... oh, but who's dream is it?" He taunted.

Shai just stood their watching him with a funny look on her face for a moment then muttered. "No... this isn't a dream... right? Not another one..."

"No it's not!" THomas punched the digimon. "Because if it was I wouldn't feel so tired!"

"Ouch!" The tapirmon wined and rubbed his head. "That smarts..."

"Where is that grub." Mint continued to look over him then finally spotted the little thing just behind one of his ears. "Got it. Petty Punch!" she raised her paw to swipe at it but taprimon defended himself.

"Nightmare Syndrome!" he said while spitting out a cloud of bad dreams. The swirled around Mintsalamon and she fell backwards.

"Ahh.... wait.... what?" she said while batting away the clouds of smoke and they dissipated. "What gives, that wasn't that scary at all?"

"Oh no..." the tapirmon muttered. "I must have used up my store of nightmares..." he began to look nervous.

Thomas grinned. "Ven!" Ven nodded. "Petit fire!"

The grub burst into data and tapirmon's eyes went back to normal. "AHHHH! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!" It began to whine as it realized it was being held by someone.

"Dude, it's okay. You're among friends." Mint smiled trying to get him to calm down.

It looked up at her nervously and forced a grin. "Then why did you attack me?"

Ven let Tapirmon go. "We were trying to help you."

Tapirmon looked confused for a few moments then blushed, "Oh well, thank you then." He grinned. "What exactly happened to me?"

"You were under the control of a dark grub." Mint explained. "Do you remember anything that happened? Or most impotently who was giving you orders to mess with our dreams?" She questioned.

"M-mess with your dreams? Oh I apologize if I was doing that. I don't really remember much of anything." He stated while scratching his head. "I going about my day when there was this pain behind my ear... then there was darkness and I kept hearing a voice telling me to do stuff but I couldn't see who it was." he mumbled.

"Is that normal?" Thomas looked at Shai. He was still new to everything.

Shai nodded, "Sounds about right." She explained. "What the digimon remembers has to do with their level and the strength of the digimons will to fight the grubs control."

"Most rookies and weaker digmon in general don't remember much." Mint added.

"I'm sorry." tapirmon sighed. "All I remember is voice... a cruel sounding female voice."

"Hay, that's better than nothing." Mint grinned and nudge him in the arm.

"Female huh.." Thomas frowned. There was only one dark digimon he knew of that was female. He glanced at Shia.

"That does narrow it down quite a bit..." Shai mumbled. "Digimon don't really have genders but a handful of digimon do act more feminine than others and have higher pitched voices."

"This wasn't really higher pitched though..." The tapirmon frowned. "It was rather gruff and husky, but still sounded like a girl... Oh I don't know." He shrugged and looked down at the ground.

"It's okay Taprimon. Thank you for your help anyway." Mint assured him. "Now just be careful and don't let any more grubs jump on ya."

"Oh I won't." The tapirmon smiled and hovered off into the woods. "Thank you for setting me free." he called over his shoulder as he left.

Thomas sighed. "I have a bad feeling about this... Shouldn't the grub be gone now?"

Mint nodded. "Yeah their numbers should be going down now that Seteshmon isn't here to make more, but there still seems to be quite a few of them."

"They also shouldn't haves someone telling them what to do either, but that's happening apparently." Shai noted.

"Are we sure Seteshmon was destroyed?" Thomas whispered.

"Of course." Shai sounded a bit offensive. "I mean you were there, KuroJakkarugmon blasted him to smithereens. What ya think he's just going to peace back together and come after us?" She stated gruffly.

"Shai, there's no need to be so puffy!" Mint nudged her tamer in the leg. "It was a legitimate question, I mean with everything that's been going on...."

"You right... I-I'm sorry Thomas..." Shai sighed and looked down at the ground. "I just get grumpy and out of it when I'm tired. But that's no excuse to snap at ya like that." She muttered.

"No I understand." Thomas smiled. "Sleep lack can mess with your mind."

"I'm pretty sure Seteshmon is gone, I mean there was no trace of him. Besides he didn't sound that girly right?" She tried to joke.

"Hmm... Maybe it's another Ancient digimon or a master grub..." Mint noted, "I mean Anubis once told me that they couldn't make grubs but they could command them like he can."

"Maybe..." Thomas nodded.

Shai sighed, "I don't know, but now that tapirmon isn't going to be messing with our dreams anymore maybe we can get some sleep and make better since of it in the morning." She smiled and motioned back toward the way they came.

"Yeah we can get sleep now." Mint grinned. "Precious sleep..."

Thomas nodded. "I'm going to take a nap" Thomas smiled. "Come on Ven."
