POV Greg
The next day.
Every morning Greg would get a red backpack filled with water, fresh clothes, some food, and essentials.
Blastmon-Head commanded, "Greg! I noticed you get that red backpack every day from ROB. You should tell ROB to bring me some diamonds to eat!"
Greg replied, "Diamonds? Why diamonds?"
Blastmon-Head said, "Because they're delicious! Just ask ROB for them, will you?"
Wormmon said cautiously, "I wouldn't meddle with unknown entities, Greg. There are too many stories about things going wrong. It's best not to trifle with them."
Blastmon-Head scoffs and says, "Oh, come on, Wormmon. You're just pathetic and overly cautious. This is a great opportunity!"
Greg said, "I don't know… but maybe it's worth a try. ROB hasn't let me down yet... Okay, I'll give it a shot."
Wormmon sighed and said, "This will turn out horribly..."
Greg starts praying, "ROB, I have a special request today. Could you please bring us some diamonds for my friend Blastmon? Thank you."
----
The next morning.
Greg wakes up to find a new red backpack. He excitedly rushes to it and opens it to reveal a pile of sparkling diamonds. Blastmon-Head moved closer, eyes gleaming with delight.
Blastmon-Head wakes up and sees the diamonds. "Oh wow, you really did it! Look at all these diamonds!"
Greg said, "I guess ROB heard my prayer. Here you go!"
Greg gives the red backpack to Blastmon-Head. Blastmon-Head starts devouring the diamond.
Wormmon wakes up, and paper falls to the sky. Wormmon reads the paper out loud.
Bro. I hope Blastmon enjoys the diamonds, they are made of the finest human hair.
Blastmon-Head stops eating and spits out the diamonds, "These are made from human hair!!!"
Wormmon said, "Well yeah... Is that a problem?"
"That disgusting ROB! He fed me hair!" Blastmon-Head shouted in the sky. "I will make you pay! I will find you and pulverize you! ROB! Do you hear me?! I will be your end!"
Blastmon-Head kept hopping up and down and screaming to the sky for another thirty minutes.
Wormmon had a thought, if God wanted to punish someone, he would sometimes answer your prayers.

POV Greg.
Few days later.
Greg, Wormmon, and Blastmon-Head reached an area that looked like a swamp. The dense, humid air hung heavy with the scent of damp soil. The dark, still water reflected the twisted forms of trees and the hanging veils of moss.
Greg squinted at the scene and said, "Should we fly across?"
Blastmon-Head, ever the optimist, chimed in, "I'm sure we can cross the swamp by jumping on the logs."
With a determined leap, Blastmon-Head hopped onto a log, which promptly broke, sending him plummeting into the murky water.
Greg gasped, "Blastmon!"
Without thinking, Greg dove into the water, only to disappear beneath the surface.
Wormmon, eyes wide, shouted, "Wormmon Digivolve to Stingmon!"
With a flash of light, Wormmon transformed into Stingmon and dived into the swamp, quickly dragging both Blastmon-Head and Greg out of the water.
Blastmon-Head lay panting on the ground. "That was horrible. I thought I was going to die."
Greg, equally exhausted, gasped, "Likewise."
Greg whipped off the excessive water from his body.
Blastmon-Head said, "This hurts my pride. Greg, can you do me a favor and clean me? There is mud in places I don't even know existed."
Greg said, "Sure, buddy."
Greg takes out a white tower from the red bagpack and starts cleaning Blastmon-Head off of mud.
Stingmon shook his head in exasperation and said, "You two are idiots."
Stingmon de-digivolve to Wormmon.
Wormmon is quite happy that when he de-digivolve the mud, the dirty water is removed.
Blastmon-Head grumbled, "I miss my body. I could pulverize this entire swamp if I had it."
A slug Digimon appeared and moved slowly toward the group. "Oh, a human! I haven't seen one of your kind here for a while. I am Numemon, and this is Magic Mushroom Swamp."
Greg said, "Hello, Numemon, I am Greg. The worm Digimon is Wormmon. The diamond head digimon is Blastmon."
Wormmon asked suspiciously, "Why is it called Magic Mushroom Swamp?"
Numemon answered, "The swamp has mushrooms with various effects. One of the most popular mushrooms allows you to forget certain memories, it affects both Digimons and humans."
Wormmon asked, "...Are you telling me I can forget ever watching Dragon Ball anime if I eat a mushroom. I can enjoy my beloved show all over again.... What does the mushroom look like?"
Greg said, "I know what you're planning, and it's not a good idea."
Numemon answered, "Forget Me Mushroom is a blue and purple mushroom with white ring patterns."
"I see..." Wormmon immediately started running toward the swamp with fire blazing in his eyes.
Greg body tackled Wormmon to the ground and shouted, "Dammit, don't do drugs, you Dragon Ball obsessed idiot!"
Greg held Wormmon tightly as Digimon was trying to escape.
Wormmon shouted, "Let me go! Let me go! Let me goooo!"
A long time later, Greg was able to calm down Wormmon.
Greg, Blastmon-Head, and a tired Wormmon were back to standing in front of Numemon.
Numemon said, "Allow me to continue. There are some mushrooms you should avoid eating."
Greg said, "Poison mushrooms, huh."
Numemon clarified, "No, because they mutate humans and Digimon. One of the extreme cases is when you consume the Fire Mutant Mushroom you gain the power to control fire."
Greg said excitedly, "You mean! I can control fire, one of the hottest powers in the world! What does the mushroom look like!?!"
Wormmon said, "Greg, don't do this."
Numemon replied, "The Fire Mutant Mushroom is a mushroom that has orange, yellow, and red flame designs."
Greg immediately started dashing into the swamp.
Wormmon shouted, "Wormmon Digivolve to Stingmon!"
With a flash of light, Wormmon transformed into Stingmon.
Stingmon body tackled Greg to the ground.
Stingmon shouted, "Dammit Greg! I am making sure you don't ruin your life!"
Greg yelled, "I need firepower! I will be as hot as Zuko from Avatar the Last Airbender. Don't ruin my dreaammmmms. My destiny awaits me!"
Stingmon didn't let Greg go until he calmed down and promised he wouldn't eat weird mushrooms.
After Greg calmed down. Stingmon de-digivolved to Wormmon.
All three, Wormmon, Blastmon-Head, and a tired Greg were back to standing in front of Numemon.
Wormmon said, "Alright, we are going to fly over the Magic Mushroom Swamp."
Numemon said, "I recommend you go through the forest and collect Healing Mushrooms. They can heal any Digimons and human injuries."
Greg said, "...Do you think we should risk this?"
"No!" Wormmon shouted, "We don't have the self-restraint to go through the Swamp and not eat life-changing mushrooms."
Blastmon-Head laughed and said, "I won't fall for temptations. These Healing Mushrooms sound like life saviors. We should collect them."
Greg said, "I know we can do it."
Wormmon sighed and said, "Fine. Lets get this over with....."
Numemon said, "The Healing Mushroom is white with pink heart patterns. Good luck."
Wormmon, Greg, and Blastmon-Head entered the Magic Mushroom Swamp.
----
Greg was carrying Wormmon on his shoulder and clutching Blastmon-Head in his arms.
The Healing Mushrooms were easy to locate, and Greg found some, placing them in the red backpack.
There were mushrooms in all shapes and forms.
Greg even spotted a Fire Mutant Mushroom. His eyes locked on it, and before he could do anything, his hand was reaching for it.
Wormmon smacked Greg's head, "Don't you dare."
"Aggh. This is awful," Greg whined.
"We will get through this and not turn it into a disaster," Wormmon said.
"Okay," Greg said sadly.
Greg continued collecting the Healing Mushrooms.
While Greg was reaching down to collect a particularly large Healing Mushroom, he tripped and fell.
Both Greg and Wormmon ended up in the swamp water.
Blastmon-Head landed in a pile of Magic Mushrooms and accidentally ate one.
Greg and Wormmon watched in horror as Blastmon-Head began to grow and grow until he was huge and Kaiju-sized.
Greg said, "Oh no."
Wormmon said, "He's not kid-sized anymore."
Giant Blastmon-Head laughed. "Hahahaha! I feel powerful! Everyone looked down on me! Now I look down on everyone! With these mushrooms, I will be invincible!"
Giant Blastmon-Head opened his large mouth and devoured a log covered in Magic Mushrooms.
Greg, Wormmon, and the Giant Blastmon-Head waited anxiously for the Magic Mushrooms to take effect.
Suddenly, Giant Blastmon-Head erupted in flames.
Giant Blastmon-Head screamed in agony, "AAAAAHHHH!!! I am on fire!"
Greg said in envy, "That should have been me!"
Wormmon screamed, "Duck and roll! Duck and roll! Duck and roll!"
Giant Blastmon-Head started to roll in the swamp water, but the fire wouldn't go out.
Wormmon watched in horror as the giant flaming diamond head rolled toward him and Greg.
Wormmon and Greg started to run away as the flaming Giant Blastmon-Head chased after them.
Wormmon screamed, "AAAAAHHHH!!!"
Greg screamed, "AAAAAHHHH!!!"
Flaming Giant Blastmon-Head screamed, "AAAAAHHHH!!!"
Everyone was traumatized.

POV Numemon.
Numemon saw Wormmon, Greg, and Blastmon-Head come back from the Magic Mushroom Swamp looking like they fought a powerful fire Digimon.
Numemon asked, "What happened?"
Wormmon said, "Mistakes have been made."
Blastmon-Head burps out a fireball.
The next day.
Every morning Greg would get a red backpack filled with water, fresh clothes, some food, and essentials.
Blastmon-Head commanded, "Greg! I noticed you get that red backpack every day from ROB. You should tell ROB to bring me some diamonds to eat!"
