Digimon – Take All or Lose Everything

Disclaimer: I do not known Digimon or any of the characters.

Storyline: This story is not a continuation of any of the other series. This is a story about, survival, trust, and betrayal as eight Digimon try to bring down a ruthless tyrant.

Chapter 1:

"So, could someone tell me why we're here?"

Coelamon flexed his muscles as he spoke. The Champion-Level sea creature very rarely came up from the water. He spent most of his time hunting in the waters for food. But he had received a mysterious message from Centarumon, who told them to meet at the Niro Valley on the outskirts of the Continent of Server. The temple they were in currently had been destroyed a long time ago, and was often used as a training grounds for other Digimon.

Coelamon looked around to see who else was there. Meramon, Seadramon, Airdramon, Wizardmon, and Drimogemon.

"I'm not quite sure, but we'd better find out soon. I'm getting tired of waiting." Coelamon jumped at the sound of Drimogemon's growling voice.

Just then, Centarumon and Unimon entered the room.

"First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming here today", said Centarumon. "You have no idea how much I appreciate your co-operation."

"As you know, SkullGreymon, and his troops have already seized most of our territory. If we do not act soon, they will gain full control of this area, and move on the City. There has already been an unknown amount of casualties, and many more Digimon could suffer if we do not take a stand."

Coelamon scoffed. "Wait, wait, wait. You want us to go up against an Ultimate-Level Digimon, and god only knows how many Champions?"

"Well, in a manner of speaking, yes", answered Centarumon. His voice had been purged of all emotion.

There was silence among the room, until Drimogemon finally said, "You must be joking."

"Actually, it's not really our habit to make jokes", replied Unimon.

"You guys are out of your mind?!", shouted Drimogemon. "It's suicide! If you think I'm going up against a fully-evolved Digimon, you've got another thing-"

"SILENCE!", shouted Unimon. His mighty voice almost rocked the ruins of the temple, shocking most of the Digimon. Within seconds, all was silent.

"Thank you, Unimon", said Centarumon, acknowledging his gratitude for Unimon's support. "You did not give us a chance to fully explain. We have chosen you six because your strength far surpasses the other Digimon living in the area. And yes, you are right, Drimogemon, alone you would be outmatched by SkullGreymon, but together, you should be able to defeat him."

Coelamon raised an eyebrow. "And why should we do this? I live in the sea, what they do with the land doesn't bother me."

Centarumon gave a sigh of contempt, obviously disgusted by Coelamon's selfishness. "I don't think you are aware of the seriousness of these circumstances. Once they gain full control of the land, they will gain more allies, and I have no doubt that some of these allies will be aquatic Digimon."

Coelamon gulped. It was only now he realized what he had gotten himself into. If he fought SkullGreymon, he'd be destroyed for sure. If he fled, SkullGreymon's allies would hunt him down. He would never be able to live in peace. However, if he defeated SkullGreymon he would be considered a hero.

"Yeah, all right. I'm in."

"And me", added Drimogemon.

"Excellent. I am pleased to know that even SkullGreymon has powerful minions on his side, we have loyal warriors who are willing to fight for what's right."

Unimon cleared his throat. "Um, Centarumon, I think we need to inform them of the plan."

"Ah, yes of course. I have prepared a strategy which I believe will gain us victory over SkullGreymon. I have already gone over the plan with some of you. This includes Meramon, Seadramon, and Airdramon. Now, here what we need to do..."
