*Authors note-Yeah I know I said I was going to wait for a few reviews before I posted the next chapter, but I got tired of waiting for reviews to come up, so I just posted it, I've also decided that I'm just going to put chapters up as I finish them, however I'm only about halfway through writing the next chapter, so it might be awhile before it comes up. One more thing I'd like to add, is that I've been asked if the Japanease Digidestined from the series, are going to make an appearance in my fan fiction, and I'm pleased to say yes they will, but you'll have to be patient for it, since it probably won't be until about Chapter 11 or twelve or so. Anyway just read and enjoy. Reviews are always appreciated.
- Oh I don't own Digimon
--------------------------------
Chapter 3: The Third and Fourth are Found
Jenn took the crest to school the next day, of course since I didn't have the crest there wasn't much I could do except look for possible owners of the crest of perception.
It was the morning before the next day. I was playing games on my laptop.
Suddenly I heard a knock on my door.
"Kris!" my brother Cam said, from the other side of the door. "It's time to go to school."
"Come on Elecmon we better get going," I said. "If you want to come with me, you better get going."
"Finally," he said.
"Sneak out the window and hop on top of the bus then you can watch me through the window of my classes."
"Wonderful," Elecmon said sarcastically. "I guess it's better than nothing."
I opened the door and found, my brother Cam, and his friend Sean; they had become friends since our parents were good friends. I stopped, turned around and immediately snatched my Digivice from my desk, I don't think anyone had noticed, I know Cam didn't, but I noticed that Sean had eyed it. I didn't really think much of it at the time, and left for school.
I walked into my homeroom class, noticing Elecmon in the window, I'd said if something happened then he could come and I couldn't go back on it. My homeroom was the computer room, since I had computer programming first. I sat down, the kid beside me yawned. His name was Rob.
"Tired?" I asked him.
"Yeah," he said. "I've been having these dreams lately, they started about a month ago, and I haven't been getting that much sleep lately."
A month ago? That was about the time that this whole thing with the Digital World restarted, when my Digivice was upgraded into a D3.
"What are the dreams like?" I asked.
"It's pretty much the same thing every time," he started. "I'm in this, weird jungle, then suddenly a half grim reaper, half ghost type creature, and a witch covered entirely in black. Suddenly a rock falls upon me, but the weird thing is, it doesn't hurt me, it actually protects me from the two creatures. Then it speaks to me and says, 'don't worry Rob, I'll never let this guys hurt you, even if they are Ultimates.' Then I wake up. And I have a weird feeling it has something to do with this."
My heart skipped a beat, as Rob held up the object. It was a Digivice! A D3 to be exact, like mine except it was gray where mine was orange.
"Where did you get that?" I asked.
"I'm not sure," he answered. "One day about eight years ago it shot out of the computer, then about a month ago, about the time the dreams started, a beam shot out of the computer and changed it into this.
"Yeah," I said completely speechless.
"Yeah," he said. "I knew you wouldn't believe me."
"No," I said. "It's not that."
"Then what is it?"
How weird, Jenn had the crest of Perception, with her right now, yet I was the one who may have found its owner, and I didn't have it. Of course there was no real proof that Rob was the owner of the crest of Perception, he probably could've been, another member of the Canadian Digidestined, and owned another crest. However Rob was always extremely perceptive. In programming class he could always see a problem with a program, no matter how complex the program was he could always see what the problem was. Plus he was having dreams, at about the same time that the balance between the Digital World and the real World, had been thrown off tilter, and the crest would have helped him see it, though neither, Jenn or I had seen it.
"Kris?"
"What?" I asked.
"What is it then?"
"Oh yeah," I said. "I do believe you, in fact I can explain it to you. Take a look at this."
I dug into my pocket and held out my own D3.
"You have one too?" he said. "Where did you get it?"
"The same thing as you," I said. "About eight years ago it came out of the computer, then about a month ago it was upgraded into this."
"Do you know what all this is all about?" Rob asked.
"Yes," I said. "And I'll explain it to you after school. Meet me on the hill behind the school, immediately after school."
"I have a feeling this isn't something that you can tell me in class, because it's so important you don't want anyone in class to overhear."
"Bulls-eye," I said.
Even more proof that crest owned the crest of perception.
I met Jenn at lunch, and we agreed to meet on the same hill in which I had explained to her about the Digimon and Digital world.
Eventually school ended and Elecmon, Jenn, Penguinmon and I, found ourselves waiting on the secluded hill behind the school waiting for Rob to arrive. After about five minutes Rob came running up the hill.
"Jenn?" he said. "You know about this thing too?"
"Yep," Jenn answered, "And like you I also have a Digivice."
Jenn held up her Digivice.
"Okay what exactly is this all about?"
We stepped aside revealing our Digimon.
"Maybe it's best if our Digimon explain it." I said. "Elecmon, Penguinmon."
Our Digimon explained the whole thing. The Digimon Emperors, the Digivolving, the crests, everything.
"This is for real isn't it," he said. "You're not kidding."
"He must be perceptive," I said to Jenn. "You needed proof before you were convinced."
Jenn poked me with her elbow.
"I think, the fact that I'm actually seeing these creatures, and hearing them explain this is proof enough," he said. "Then there's the electronic devices, or Digivices shooting out of the computer kinda good proof."
"So," I said. "Let's see if this crest of Perception is yours."
Jenn pulled the crest out of her pocket and tossed it to Rob. As soon as Rob caught it, the crest began to glow incredibly bright, and after about a minute began to glow less, until it stopped glowing.
"Looks like it's your crest," Jenn said.
"Nice," Rob said. "So how do I get my Digimon?"
I opened up my laptop and held it up to Rob.
"Hold your Digivice up to the computer's monitor," I said. "And your Digimon should come out."
"Here goes," Rob said holding up his gray D3.
No sooner than he did than the monitor began to glow, and a beam shot out of the computer that landed beside his feet, when the glow was gone there was a rocky Digimon at Rob's feet.
"Finally!" the Digimon said. "I've been waiting four long years to meet you Rob. My name is
Gotsumon: , I'm very pleased to meet you."
"A rock Digimon," Rob said. "You're the rock that protected me in my dream aren't you?"
"Excuse me?" Gotsumon said. "I don't know about any dream but I am defiantly here to protect you."
"So what can you Digivolve into?" Rob asked his newly found Digimon.
"I don't know," Gotsumon answered. "The farthest I've ever Digivolved is rookie which is the form that I'm in right now, I need you to Digivolve to Champion."
"Well since you're here, can you Digivolve now?"
"No I can't." Gotsumon asked.
"Maybe we should explain Digivolving further." Elecmon said.
"The first time a Digimon Digivolves, it's not exactly voluntary, and it's done so we can protect our Digidestined partner. After the first Digivolution you can do it at will after that you can do it at will. Of course you'll turn into your rookie stage when Champion is no longer needed."
"Never mind that," Rob said. "It's not really important. What we should be concerned about is getting those crests back and assembling this six member team."
"Good to see you're enthusiastic," Jenn said. "We could really use your help. Our last encounter with just one of those Digimon Emperors took all we had to beat her."
"Unfortunately that's true," Elecmon said. "Both Penguinmon and I had to Digivolve and combine our powers before we could defeat Blackgatomon, not to mention the fact that they still have nine more Digimon slaves because of the dark rings."
"Well there shouldn't be too much of a problem," Rob said. "There's three of us now, so we should have no problem beating two of them."
"Let's not get cocky," I said. "The best thing for us to do is get those crests and get back to the real world as soon as possible then find out who their owners are complete the team and kick some Digimon Emperor butt. True with three of us there's a better chance, but it's still probably not enough, once we gather together the other three it should be a piece of cake."
"Well are we going," Rob asked. "I want to see this infamous 'Digital World'."
"Well I wasn't planning on going now," I said. "I was hoping we could come up with some sort of a plan first. The only point of this meeting was to let Rob know what exactly was going on."
"Kris it's kind of difficult to form a plan unless we have all the facts," Rob said. "We don't know where the crests are being held, and we don't know much about the enemies that we're dealing with. It's best to go in there, gather up all the facts and then form a plan."
"He's right Kris," Elecmon said. "Let's go to the Digital World."
"Okay," I said. "Let's go in there and see if we can't find those Digimon Emperors base of operations."
I held my Digivice up to the computer and said. "Digiport open."
A window popped up on the monitor and the six of us were sucked into the computer, and once again found ourselves in the stage that I like to call the "download" stage. In a second we were spit out the TV on the other end, and once again were in the jungle where we had first found Emily.
"I'm assuming this place is pretty big," Rob said. "Since it was created based on data of our own world. It must be."
"If that's the case how are we supposed to find the Digimon Emperors and the crests?" Gotsumon asked.
"We use our Digivices," I answered, looking pushing white button on the Digivice, turning it into detect mode. "It's got a mode that let's you find certain things, I think I've finally figured out the color code of the dots. The blue dot is our own Digimon, the green dots are other Digimon, and the yellow ones are other Digidestined."
Rob and Jenn turned on their Digivices, and turned them onto detect mode.
"There are two extra Digidestined and Digimon," Rob said.
Just as I had hoped, aside from the three yellow dots, and one blue dot and, two green dots there were four additional dots not far from here, two yellow and two green. Emily, and Blackgatomon, as well as the second Digimon Emperor, and his Digimon.
"Those are the Digimon Emperors, and their Digimon," I said. "We've got to find them, and get those other three crests."
"Are you sure we should attack them?" Gotsumon asked. "I mean I can't even Digivolve yet."
"We don't have time to wait for you to Digivolve," I answered. "By then, they could've found the other Canadian Digidestined, and destroyed them, we can't let them destroy them. If we wait we don't find the other members of our team, and we lose them. We can't let that happen."
I couldn't help but notice Jenn and Rob staring at me, with a look of shock on their face.
"What?" I said.
"Nothing." They both said quickly.
"No seriously, what is it."
"Well -," Jenn said. "It's just that at school, you always seemed so quiet, and well-"
"Now you're acting like a leader," Rob said. "You know exactly what to do, it's not the impression we got from your quiet, shy personality we see at school."
"I'm just stating, what I think we should do." I said. "I never really said that was what we were going to do, I was saying what I think we should do."
"It sounds like a good plan," Elecmon said.
"Yeah," Penguinmon said. "I'd agree with it we've got to act fast, before our teammates are found and destroyed."
"Ditto here," Rob said.
"Okay," I said. "The Digimon Emperors are only about half a kilometer, away from here. Let's get moving."
We walked the short half-kilometer to the location of the Digimon Emperors. We hid behind a bush; I parted the bush a bit, revealing the two Digimon Emperors. Emily, and her Digimon Blackgatomon, and another kid, a guy dressed in the same Digimon Emperor outfit that Emily was wearing, the goggles, the cape, with the fiery pattern. With the guy was a dark bluish bat Digimon. But what I really noticed were the three crests around his neck. Persistence, Curiosity, and Caution.
I turned towards the three Digimon. "Any of you recognize, that Digimon with that guy?"
"I do," Gotsumon said. "That's Demidevimon: , it doesn't really surprise me that he's the partner of the evil Digidestined. He's always been a rotten deceptive Digimon willing to sell out anyone to get his own gain."
"So Andrew," Demidevimon said. "Can we eat yet?"
Andrew glared angrily at Demidevimon, and then hit him with the back of his hand. Demidevimon fell from the rock he had been sitting on and crashed onto the ground.
"Don't ever call me that again!" Andrew yelled at his Digimon. "You are to call me the Digimon Emperor, and nothing else!"
"But I was just thinking that-"
"You're not here to think!" Andrew yelled. "You're here to fight for me, and if necessary Em- the Digimon Empress."
Demidevimon didn't say anything, to Andrew, however I did hear him mutter to himself: "And I though Myotismon was bad."
"Okay," I said. "Get ready to Digivolve Elecmon."
Elecmon nodded. I readied my Digivice.
"You too Penguinmon," Jenn told her Digimon.
"Right Penguinmon said."
"Think we can take them and get the crests?" Rob asked.
"Probably," I said. "It took two of us to take down Blackgatomon before, plus they've got Demidevimon now, and unlike Blackgatomon he is just a rookie, so he shouldn't be much of a problem."
"Unless of course he can Digivolve," Rob said. "Andrew may be an evil Digidestined but he still has a Digivice, so it's possible Demidevimon can Digivolve."
"Good point," I said. "We'll have to make this quick. Go in grab the crests and get out, hopefully before Demidevimon can Digivolve."
"Something isn't right," Rob said.
"What do you mean?" Gotsumon asked.
"They're just sitting there, staring at their Digivices, there-"
He froze in his speech; it took a while for it to sink into my mind too. About the same time that, Elecmon, Jenn, Penguinmon, and Gotsumon realized what was wrong too.
"MOVE!" I yelled. "We gotta get out of here!"
The six of us turned around, ready to run.
Too late! Much too late!
Standing in front of us, were three huge Dinosaur Digimon, all three of them wearing black prisms around their wrists.
"What do you know," Emily said. "Our little trap worked."
They had known we were here all the time. We knew where to find them, but we never considered the fact that they're Digivices would be able to find our location. They had just waited for us to show up then they called on three of their slaves, and completely surround us. No escape, three dinosaur Digimon in front of us, Emily and Andrew behind us.
"This is not good," Gotsumon said.
"Allow us to introduce our slaves." Andrew said, he pointed to the red Dinosaur Digimon. "First we have Tyrannomon: ." Andrew moved his finger towards the green Digimon. "Tuskmon: ." He moved his finger to the last blue Digimon. "And lastly Veedramon: ."
"Should we Digivolve and destroy these three," Blackgatomon said.
"No," Emily answered. "Why should we dirty our own hands when we have Digimon slaves to do it for us, don't you think Digimon Emperor?"
"Yes Digimon Empress," Andrew said. He turned to Tyrannomon, Tuskmon, and Veedramon. "Guys destroy those Digidestined and their Digimon."
The three dinosaur Digimon began to advance.
"Should we?" Elecmon said.
"Digivolve?" Penguinmon said.
"Go for it," Jenn and I said at the same time.
Our Digivices activated and -
"Elecmon Digivolved to……………….Leomon!"
"Penguinmon Digivolved to……………Kiwimon!"
"Please tell me you can do that too Gotsumon!" Rob said.
"No," Gotsumon said shaking his head. "Can't rookie is as far as I can go."
"This doesn't look good." Leomon said, as the three Digimon leered over him and Kiwimon.
"It's only three against one," Kiwimon replied. "The odds aren't that bad."
"No hesitation guys!" I instructed Kiwimon and Leomon. "You've got to attack together now before the other three can."
"On it," our Digimon said. "Super Spiral!"
Kiwimon and Leomon fired their attacks. Which merged together into one powerful purple and orange spiral.
"It worked last time," I said.
"Vee-Arrow Breath!" Veedramon yelled firing an energy arrow from his mouth.
"Slamming tusk!" Tuskmon yelled firing a pointed energy beam from his tusks.
"Fire Breath!" Tyrannomon said firing a huge fireball from his mouth.
The three attacks, and our Digimon's super spiral collided. Unfortunately, it the dinosaur Digimon's attacks broke the super spiral, the two colored beams flew apart in opposite directions, crashing into the ground. However the attacks didn't cancel each other out. The three attacks kept going and made a direct hit with our Digimon. They were sent sailing, and landed a few feet away.
"We're fine," Leomon said getting up.
"Just a little hit," Kiwimon said also getting up.
"Payback time!" Leomon said.
He drew is sword and charged at Tuskmon, and began to bring it down, and Tuskmon's head. However Tuskmon blocked the sword with his Tusks. Suddenly Tyrannomon interrupted, and rammed Leomon, easily tossing the unaware Digimon aside. Kiwimon wasn't doing that good either.
"Pummel Peck!" Kiwimon said firing tiny birds from her mouth. They exploded at the side of Veedramon's head.
Kiwimon dove at Veedramon, using her beak as a weapon. However Tuskmon no longer occupied with Leomon, easily smacked her away with his tail.
Rob and Gotsumon could do nothing but stare and watch.
"I don't care if I'm only at rookie level!" Gotsumon said. "They're losing badly. I've got to help."
"Okay," Rob said. "Be careful."
Gotsumon ran onto the battlefield, straight at Veedramon.
"Rock fist!" he yelled firing, a small rock at Veedramon, which hit him right in the chest.
It didn't do a thing it was more of a nuisance than anything. It did anger him though.
"Raaaar!" Veedramon dove at Gotsumon, and grabbed Gotsumon in his hands.
"Gotsumon no!" Rob yelled.
"I don't think so!" Kiwimon said.
She jumped at Veedramon, once again using her beak as a weapon, but once again was tackled aside by Tuskmon. And began engaging in battle with him.
"Leomon!" I said looking to Leomon to help Gotsumon.
"I'm a little busy here!" he said. He was fighting off Tyrannomon.
Now this was just perfect! Both our Digimon were unable to help, and Gotsumon was going to be crushed, and there was nothing any of us could do about it.
"Well," Emily laughed. "You Digidestined's reputation seems to have been extremely exaggerated. We really didn't think defeating you would be this easy."
"NO!" Rob yelled. "Gotsumon! I won't let you hurt him!"
Rob ran towards Veedramon, who was increasing the pressure he was putting on Gotsumon.
"NO!" Rob screamed.
"Rob no," I yelled. "You can't help him! You're going to get hurt."
I couldn't stop him, he was not only faster than me, he was also ahead of me. Now not only was Gotsumon in danger but so was Rob.
Veedramon had just noticed him.
"Destroy the kid too Veedramon," Andrew instructed.
Veedramon lifted his foot right over Rob. Rob froze, realizing his mistake.
Veedramon's foot began to shoot down.
"ROB!" Gotsumon yelled.
Suddenly Rob's Digivice activated, and began glowing, as did Gotsumon, the glow actually hurt Veedramon, causing him to drop Gotsumon. Gotsumon shot forward, saving Rob just as the foot came down, missing them by inches. Both Gotsumon and Rob's Digivice were still glowing.
"It's just like what happened to Penguinmon." Jenn said.
"He's going to Digivolve." I confirmed.
I was right, just them Rob's Digivice activated and -
"Gotsumon Digivolved to……………..Monochromon !"
"He did it!" Rob yelled.
"I am Monochromon," the newly Digivolved Digimon said. "I ram my enemies with my powerful horn, then fry them with my volcanic strike attack."
"Now it's three on three," I said. "We actually have a chance."
"Take Veedramon out Monochromon!" Rob yelled.
Monochromon nodded. Then charged, horn forward.
"Vee-arrow-breath!" Veedramon shot another arrow from his mouth straight at Monochromon.
"Volcanic strike!" Monochromon yelled firing dozens of fireballs from his mouth. The two attacks cancelled each other out, and Monochromon continued to charge, and slammed into Veedramon's stomach. He was sent flying and crashed down on the ground a few feet away. Monochromon charged again, but this time Veedramon was able to stop him from knocking him over. He grabbed his head and struggled to hold him back. They were equal in strength, both trying to overpower each other. Leomon and Kiwimon were also engaged in their own battles, Leomon with Tuskmon, and Kiwimon with Tyrannomon. They weren't losing but they weren't winning either. Leomon's sword was against Tuskmon's tusks, both pushing trying to overpower each other so they could stab each other with their sword/tusks. Neither was making any progress. Kiwimon wasn't doing any better. Kiwimon continued to fire Drill Bill and Pummel Peck attacks at Tyrannomon, Tyrannomon dodging every single one. Meanwhile Tyrannomon was doing the same thing, firing his Fire Breath attacks, while Kiwimon dodged them all. All three of our Digimon were locked in a stalemate with Andrew and Emily's slaves.
"This isn't going anywhere," I said.
"You're right," Jenn said. "There's got to be something we can do for them."
"Emily! Andrew!" I yelled to our enemies. "This fight isn't going anywhere. If you don't stop it not only is our Digimon going to be destroyed but your slaves too."
"So?" Andrew laughed.
"Why exactly should we care if they're destroyed." Emily added.
I was in shock, how could they not care? How could they be so ruthless to them?
"Don't you care if members of your own team are destroyed?"
"No." They both answered.
Now I was getting mad. Sure Tyrannomon, Tuskmon, and Veedramon were enemies but they didn't deserve to be destroyed after all, the Prism was controlling them, it wasn't their fault.
"Kris," Rob said to me. "You say that Andrew and Emily are controlling the Digimon with those dark Prisms on their arms right?"
"Yeah," I said. "Otherwise they wouldn't be attacking us."
"Then what do you think would happen if the Prisms were destroyed?"
"They'd lose control!" I said.
"Nice plan," Jenn said. "It worked on the Digimon that attacked our class."
"Guys!" I yelled to our Digimon. "You've got to destroy the dark Prisms on their arms!"
"Right." They said.
Tuskmon was first. Leomon sliced the air with his sword, sending his Lion's claw at Tuskmon. Tuskmon fired his slamming Tusk to counter it. Leomon took advantage of the distraction he had created, and jumped into the air as high as he could (which is pretty high).
"Fist of the Beast King!" Leomon said firing his main attack at Tuskmon's arms.
Perfect! It made a direct hit on the Dark Prism on Tuskmon's wrist. It shattered on impact.
"Raaaah!" Tuskmon roared.
He looked around, confused at what was happening.
"Get out of here." Leomon said. "You're free now but in a second Emily and Andrew could slap another Dark Prism on you."
Tuskmon nodded, and ran. I didn't see him escape, my eyes moved to Kiwimon's battle with Tyrannomon.
"Fire Breath!" Tyrannomon.
His Fire Breath attack landed, just as Kiwimon jumped, nearly missing her. She landed on Tyrannomon head. Tyrannomon made wild swings at her with his hands. None of which were successful. His shot up and slammed down, just as Kiwimon once again jumped out of the way at the last possible second. Causing Tyrannomon's tail to hit his head.
"Raaaaah!" Tyrannomon screamed in pain and frustration.
"Pummel Peck." Kiwimon said still in the air, and fired a tiny bird from her mouth, that - like Leomon's attack - hit the dark Prism and shattered it.
Now the real Tyrannomon was free. As soon as he realized he was free, he ran away, fearing that he would be enslaved once again. Now all that was left was Veedramon.
Monochromon and Veedramon were still trying to overpower each other.
"Super Spiral!" Kiwimon and Leomon yelled.
Their super spiral kept landed on Veedramon's back. Causing him to topple over and Monochromon overpowered him.
"Volcanic strike!" Monochromon said as he fired his volcanic strike attack, it hit the prism on Veedramon's arm, and - like the others - as soon as Veedramon realized what was happening he ran away.
"They beat them!" Andrew yelled.
"You're next," I said.
Leomon, Kiwimon, and Monochromon lined up, and prepared to attack Emily and Andrew. Just as Demidevimon, and Blackgatomon jumped between them.
Andrew held out his black Digivice. "Demidevimon Digivolve!"
"Right!" Demidevimon said.
The Digivice activated and -
"Demidevimon Digivolved to……………….Bakemon!"
"That's it," Kiwimon said.
"She's right." Monochromon laughed. "Not only is it two to three, but even though Bakemon is a champion he's a weak champion so we can handle this no problem."
"Our Digimon are right." I said. "Not only are you out numbered but you're out powered. Give us those crests before we mop the floor with you."
They didn't seem bothered, both of them just, continued to stand there and grinned.
"We don't think so," Emily laughed. "See after I lost to you before, I realized that I underestimated you, and that you actually are stronger that us as champions. So we had these fashioned."
Our hearts almost stopped when Emily and Andrew revealed their secret weapons.
Tags and Crests!
These were somehow different than the others though they were extremely dark black, and I had some strange evil feeling coming from them.
"Allow us to show you our crests." Andrew said. "The crest of Evil!"
Emily held up her crest. "And the crest of Darkness."
"So you have crests," Jenn said. "We have crests too."
"Yes," Emily said. "But our crests actually work" She turned to Blackgatomon. "Blackgatomon."
"Bakemon." Andrew said.
"Digivolve!"
Both crests began to glow, but not normal light, this light was really weird. It was a black, a sort of darkness that was stronger than light. The crests came off of the tags hovered over their Digimon. Then rained that dark light over them and -
"Bakemon Digivolved to……………………Phantomon!"
"Blackgatomon Digivolved to………………Ladydevimon!"
This had just turned from bad to worse!
"It's not that bad," Jenn said. "There are still only two of them."
"I don't think numbers make much of a difference here," Rob said. "I have a feeling those Digimon are incredibly powerful."
"They are," I said. "Phantomon and Ladydevimon are both Ultimate Digimon. Our Digimon are only at the Champion level. Even though there are three of them, I don't think that one more Digimon is going to make much of a difference."
"Come on guys," Leomon said. "Things aren't that bad we can still take them."
"Yeah," Kiwimon said. "Besides even if they are Ultimates I'm not going down without a fight."
"They're right," I said. "It's not like we have much of a choice. Let's at least try to win."
Leomon nodded smiling. "Okay guys, I'll take Phantomon, and the two of you get Ladydevimon."
The other two Digimon nodded.
Leomon's sword drawn, he dove after Phantomon.
"Lion's claw!"
Leomon dove his sword down into Phantomon, but missed, in a second Phantomon was behind him.
"You think that puny toothpick can stop me," Phantomon laughed.
Phantomon drew back his scythe, and slashed Leomon across the chest, he was sent sailing, but his cat agility allowed him to land back on his feet.
"Leomon are you okay," I asked.
He nodded, examining the wound on his chest, that slash had left a scar. "It's just a scratch."
"That's only a taste of what's coming," Phantomon bragged.
"Fist of the beast king!"
Leomon's lion shaped energy beam fired straight at Phantomon, he didn't even try to avoid it.
Phantomon evil gaze met, Andrews.
"Yes you fool!" Andrew yelled at his Digimon.
Phantomon lowered his scythe in front of him, and yelled. "Shadow scythe!"
As he did a pitch-black v-shaped energy wave shot from the scythe, it engulfed Lemon's first of the beast king, kept going, straight at Leomon! He tried to get out of the way, but the dark wave was too fast!
It made a direct hit! Straight into Leomon's stomach!
"Aaaaah!" Leomon screamed in pain.
"No!" I screamed.
As the wave faded away, Leomon was engulfed in a white glow, and shrank becoming Elecmon again.
I stared in horror, not only had he taken a direct hit, from Phantomon's shadow scythe but it was so strong he had returned to his rookie stage. I ran up to my wounded Digimon, and cradled him in my arms.
"Elecmon are you okay?"
"Did anyone get the number of that truck?" he stuttered.
"Drill Bill!" Kiwimon yelled.
"Volcanic Strike!" Monochromon yelled.
They're attacks were both aimed straight at Ladydevimon. With luck they'd be more successful that Leomon had. One Champion was no match for an Ultimate, but maybe two were.
Ladydevimon merely grinned at the attacks, both sailing towards her. She held out her hands, and yelled.
"Darkness wave!"
Suddenly thousands upon thousands of red bats appeared out of thin air in front of her hands. Some of the bats were incinerated by the attacks, but they only stopped about a tenth of what was there. The bats attacked Jenn and Robs' Digimon, biting and attacking. There were small but there tons of them way to many bats for them to handle. Both Digimon were engulfed in the same glow that Leomon had been, and like Leomon they both returned to their rookie stages. They're mission accomplished the thousands of red bats incinerated on their own accord. Like I had done Rob and Jenn ran up to their hurt Digimon.
Like Elecmon, they were hurt but they'd be all right, that is they were now. All six pairs of eyes leveled to Andrew and Emily's faces. Wide evil grins spread on their faces.
"This was almost too easy," Andrew laughed. "I don't see how Devimon, Etemon, and the Dark Masters were defeated by the Japanese version of these Digidestined." Andrew's eyes moved towards Phantomon and Ladydevimon. "Finish them."
Phantomon and Ladydevimon began to move closer to us, Phantomon raised his scythe, and Ladydevimon prepared to use her Darkness wave.
No point in running, they'd catch us in no time. All the six of us could only sit there and wait for the end. All twelve of our eyes wide open, all six of us shaking in fear, while Andrew could only laugh easily and mumble how easy this was.
I held Elecmon tight, all in vain, holding him like this wasn't protecting him, and it wasn't reducing his fear, nor mine.
Suddenly a voice boomed. "Bone glare!"
My eyes shot up, above all of us was a bone, a femur to be exact. It suddenly reflected the sunlight, and a huge flash of light shot from the bone, almost blinding, but when I opened my eyes I didn't even see dots in front of my eyes. However Elecmon was a different story.
"Ah!" he yelled. "My eyes what's happened to them I can't see."
It was the same result with Penguinmon, Gotsumon, Phantomon, and Ladydevimon, all rubbing their eyes, blinded and unable to see. However, Jenn, Rob, Andrew, Emily and I hadn't been affected whatsoever. The bone was still in the air soon coming to the ground and into the hands of the one who had thrown it. A Digimon. This was an apelike Digimon, with green hair and bluish gray skin. However what really shocked me was what was beside the Digimon. It was a kid, a kid holding a D3 in his hand. Brown, unlike my orange one, Jenn's purple one, and Rob's gray one. What was even more shocking was that I knew the kid. It was Sean, my little brother's best friend, my parents' friends' son.
"Sean." I said.
"Kris," he said. "I'd thought I'd see you here." Sean turned to what I assumed was his Digimon. "Good job Apemon: ." he turned his head towards the six of us. "We got to move now! That attack only affects Digimon, but they'll be able to see in about five minutes. Take this chance and let's run."
We didn't need to be told twice. We didn't have much choice, either stay and be destroyed by Phantomon and Ladydevimon or run and come back to fight again.
We each held our Digimon in our arms, and began to run as fast as we could from the scene.
"Arrrgh!" Emily yelled. "Stop them!"
I stopped listening after that, I could hear Phantomon and Ladydevimon began to take pursuit, but being blind they rammed into trees and stumbled about. Andrew and Emily started to chase to but we were too far ahead for them to possibly catch up.
"There's a TV around here," Sean said. "It'll take us back to our own world."
I couldn't believe how much Sean knew about the Digital World, and even more surprised that he was a Digidestined. But maybe that's why he knew so much about it in the first place.
Elecmon began rubbing his eyes.
"You okay?" I asked him.
"Yeah," he said. "I can see a little bit. What is happening did I just hear another human?"
"Yeah," I told him. "We just found the fourth member of our team."
Sean stopped, at his feet was a TV, he held up his Digivice to the TV, as he did Apemon was engulfed in the same Dedigivolving glow that our Digimon had been engulfed in. Except unlike what had happened to our Digimon this was voluntary. Apemon's rookie stage was a small little elephant.
"Digiport open!" Sean yelled.
Soon we were sucked in and then spit out into the real world, and found ourselves in Sean's bedroom, my laptop on the desk, the computer that we had come out of. I immediately closed my laptop, eliminating the chance of Andrew and Emily following us. As I did we all breathed a sigh of relief. We'd just escaped certain death.
"Thanks Sean," I said. "If you hadn't shown up we'd be toast."
Both Rob and Jenn were staring at me.
"Do you know this kid," Jenn asked.
"Yeah," I said. "He's a good friend of my brother. Obviously I had no idea he was Digidestined."
"And until this morning I didn't know you were one too," Sean said. "I saw your Digivice this morning, I didn't say anything because your brother was there, I had intended to talk to you about it after school. But by the time I found you, you and these two-" he stopped. "Oh sorry, I forgot, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sean, and this is my Digimon Tapirmon: ."
"Pleased to meet all of you," Tapirmon said.
"These are my team-mates," I said, motioning to Jenn and Rob. "Jenn, and her Digimon Penguinmon, and Rob and his Digimon Gotsumon."
They greeted Sean with a casual. "Hi."
"So," Sean said. "When exactly did all this stuff with the Digital World happen to you guys?"
"Well, the whole thing probably started about four years ago when I got my Digivice." I answered.
"Me too," Sean said. "I got it about eight years ago too, I was visiting relatives in Tokyo, in our trip that our two families take every couple years, after our families had split up, I was walking by a computer store, suddenly the thing shot out of the computer, and into my hands. My Mom fainted. Then I after I got home, I accidently placed it by our own computer, and I my tag, and Digiegg which contained my partner Tapirmon."
"Now that's hardly fair." Penguinmon interrupted. "Gotsumon and I had to wait four years to meet Jenn, and Rob, meanwhile Tapirmon and Elecmon meet them before they hatch."
"Anywaaaay," Sean continued ignoring Penguinmon. "Everything was quiet for four years, until a while ago, when my blue Digivice changed into this thing." Sean held up his brown D3.
"The same thing happened to me," Jenn said holding up her purple Digivice. "Of course I was at home when this thing first shot out of the computer. Then a week ago it became this thing."
"Me too," Rob said, also holding up his gray Digivice. "But unlike you, it wasn't until I saw that Jenn and Kris also had Digivices that I actually met Gotsumon, and got thrown into this fight with Andrew and Emily."
"Yes they do dampen something that would normally be really cool huh?" Sean said.
"So how'd you find out about them?" Jenn asked. "They attacked me when I was walking to school. -Well not them specifically, but one of their slaves, a fiery Digimon named Meramon. That's when Tapirmon first Digivolved to Apemon, and broke the dark prism, and freed Meramon. After that Meramon explained to me everything that had happened, regarding the two evil Digidestined. So Tapirmon and I traveled to the Digital World to try and stop them."
"Not exactly the smartest thing to do," Elecmon said. "They'd annihilate you two alone."
"That's what we realized," Tapirmon said. "So we didn't attack them, we just followed them to their base."
"You know where their base is!" I yelled.
Sean nodded. "That's not all, they were a little preoccupied, trying how to figure out to destroy the Canadian Digidestined team, which I assumed was you three, so I snuck in, and took these."
Sean dug into his pocket, and all twelve of our eyes lit up, at the sight of what he was holding.
Crests! The crests of the other members of our team, he took the crest of Persistence and hung it around his neck, we all assumed that crest was his.
"You got the crests!" the six of us yelled happily.
"Yep," Tapirmon said proudly. "And we replaced them with the copies that Meramon gave us."
"This is too perfect," Penguinmon cheered. "They think they have the real crests, so now we can catch them off guard when we think we have the fake ones.
"So," Sean said. "However I was only expecting two of you, it seems we have one extra Digidestined."
"No we don't," Jenn laughed, taking her crest out from behind her shirt. "We all already have our crests."
Rob and I also showed Sean our crests.
"I got mine, in a dessert in the Digital World," I said.
"And Kris recovered mine from Frigimon," Jenn said.
"And Kris and Jenn recovered mine, from Emily," Rob said.
"Then whose are the other two?" Sean asked. "Meramon only told me there were three Canadian Digidestined."
"No," I said. "When Frigimon attacked us under the influence of the Dark Prism, he presented us with four copies of the crests and one real one Emily and Andrew accidently gave him."
"So the others belong to other Digidestined out there, and unknown to us?" Sean asked.
"Yep," I answered. "And now that we have all the crests we can find them and complete our team."
I stood up. "Okay guys, as of now we have four on our team, but before we do anything, in fighting Andrew and Emily, I have to warn you, that this could get dangerous, but we've got to remember we're doing to free all the enslaved Digimon, so if any of you want to back down, now's the time, they're be no hard feelings to those they feel they're not up to the challenge of risking they're lives. I held out my hand, so who's in, Oh that means you too Digimon."
Elecmon was the first to place his hand on mine. "Kris if you're in, I'm in. You're my partner and I'll follow you anywhere."
Jenn was next; she smiled as her hand touched mine. "I've got the crest of Assistance for a reason, I have to help these enslaved, Digimon, I'm in."
Penguinmon's placed her hand - er flipper, on Jenn's hand. "Jenn's in I'm in."
"Ditto." Rob said placing his hand in.
"I feel the same way the other Digimon do," Gotsumon said placing his hand in with the rest of ours. "I follow my partner."
Sean, was last not because he was reluctant simply because he was the slowest. "I'm not letting these two hurt any more innocent Digimon, I'm in."
Tapirmon's hoof was the last in the pile of hands. "Like all the other Digimon I follow my partner."
"So," I said. "We're all in. We all swear to fight these two until they're defeated."
Everyone nodded.
"We fight them until they're defeated." I said. "We fight them until they're defeated!"
Everyone stared, at me strange looks on their faces.
"Come on guys, it's just like on TV, we all chant to seal the deal that we'll all fight."
"Those things always look so stupid." Jenn said.
"Yeah," Rob agreed.
Sean only laughed, along with the four Digimon.
"Okay okay," I said rolling my eyes. "We won't chant. Let's just seal this deal."
We all tossed our hands into the air agreeing that we would defeat Emily and Andrew. Four of us were assembled that left only two.
-------------------
-One last thing I'd like to add, is that I know that there already is a Digidestined in Mexico, that was Gotsumon, which Digivolves to Monochromon, but I don't care! Monochromon is one of my favorite Digimon, and I had to put him in, anyway, sit patiently and I should have the next chapter up soon. Thanx.
- Oh I don't own Digimon
--------------------------------
Chapter 3: The Third and Fourth are Found
Jenn took the crest to school the next day, of course since I didn't have the crest there wasn't much I could do except look for possible owners of the crest of perception.
It was the morning before the next day. I was playing games on my laptop.
Suddenly I heard a knock on my door.
"Kris!" my brother Cam said, from the other side of the door. "It's time to go to school."
"Come on Elecmon we better get going," I said. "If you want to come with me, you better get going."
"Finally," he said.
"Sneak out the window and hop on top of the bus then you can watch me through the window of my classes."
"Wonderful," Elecmon said sarcastically. "I guess it's better than nothing."
I opened the door and found, my brother Cam, and his friend Sean; they had become friends since our parents were good friends. I stopped, turned around and immediately snatched my Digivice from my desk, I don't think anyone had noticed, I know Cam didn't, but I noticed that Sean had eyed it. I didn't really think much of it at the time, and left for school.
I walked into my homeroom class, noticing Elecmon in the window, I'd said if something happened then he could come and I couldn't go back on it. My homeroom was the computer room, since I had computer programming first. I sat down, the kid beside me yawned. His name was Rob.
"Tired?" I asked him.
"Yeah," he said. "I've been having these dreams lately, they started about a month ago, and I haven't been getting that much sleep lately."
A month ago? That was about the time that this whole thing with the Digital World restarted, when my Digivice was upgraded into a D3.
"What are the dreams like?" I asked.
"It's pretty much the same thing every time," he started. "I'm in this, weird jungle, then suddenly a half grim reaper, half ghost type creature, and a witch covered entirely in black. Suddenly a rock falls upon me, but the weird thing is, it doesn't hurt me, it actually protects me from the two creatures. Then it speaks to me and says, 'don't worry Rob, I'll never let this guys hurt you, even if they are Ultimates.' Then I wake up. And I have a weird feeling it has something to do with this."
My heart skipped a beat, as Rob held up the object. It was a Digivice! A D3 to be exact, like mine except it was gray where mine was orange.
"Where did you get that?" I asked.
"I'm not sure," he answered. "One day about eight years ago it shot out of the computer, then about a month ago, about the time the dreams started, a beam shot out of the computer and changed it into this.
"Yeah," I said completely speechless.
"Yeah," he said. "I knew you wouldn't believe me."
"No," I said. "It's not that."
"Then what is it?"
How weird, Jenn had the crest of Perception, with her right now, yet I was the one who may have found its owner, and I didn't have it. Of course there was no real proof that Rob was the owner of the crest of Perception, he probably could've been, another member of the Canadian Digidestined, and owned another crest. However Rob was always extremely perceptive. In programming class he could always see a problem with a program, no matter how complex the program was he could always see what the problem was. Plus he was having dreams, at about the same time that the balance between the Digital World and the real World, had been thrown off tilter, and the crest would have helped him see it, though neither, Jenn or I had seen it.
"Kris?"
"What?" I asked.
"What is it then?"
"Oh yeah," I said. "I do believe you, in fact I can explain it to you. Take a look at this."
I dug into my pocket and held out my own D3.
"You have one too?" he said. "Where did you get it?"
"The same thing as you," I said. "About eight years ago it came out of the computer, then about a month ago it was upgraded into this."
"Do you know what all this is all about?" Rob asked.
"Yes," I said. "And I'll explain it to you after school. Meet me on the hill behind the school, immediately after school."
"I have a feeling this isn't something that you can tell me in class, because it's so important you don't want anyone in class to overhear."
"Bulls-eye," I said.
Even more proof that crest owned the crest of perception.
I met Jenn at lunch, and we agreed to meet on the same hill in which I had explained to her about the Digimon and Digital world.
Eventually school ended and Elecmon, Jenn, Penguinmon and I, found ourselves waiting on the secluded hill behind the school waiting for Rob to arrive. After about five minutes Rob came running up the hill.
"Jenn?" he said. "You know about this thing too?"
"Yep," Jenn answered, "And like you I also have a Digivice."
Jenn held up her Digivice.
"Okay what exactly is this all about?"
We stepped aside revealing our Digimon.
"Maybe it's best if our Digimon explain it." I said. "Elecmon, Penguinmon."
Our Digimon explained the whole thing. The Digimon Emperors, the Digivolving, the crests, everything.
"This is for real isn't it," he said. "You're not kidding."
"He must be perceptive," I said to Jenn. "You needed proof before you were convinced."
Jenn poked me with her elbow.
"I think, the fact that I'm actually seeing these creatures, and hearing them explain this is proof enough," he said. "Then there's the electronic devices, or Digivices shooting out of the computer kinda good proof."
"So," I said. "Let's see if this crest of Perception is yours."
Jenn pulled the crest out of her pocket and tossed it to Rob. As soon as Rob caught it, the crest began to glow incredibly bright, and after about a minute began to glow less, until it stopped glowing.
"Looks like it's your crest," Jenn said.
"Nice," Rob said. "So how do I get my Digimon?"
I opened up my laptop and held it up to Rob.
"Hold your Digivice up to the computer's monitor," I said. "And your Digimon should come out."
"Here goes," Rob said holding up his gray D3.
No sooner than he did than the monitor began to glow, and a beam shot out of the computer that landed beside his feet, when the glow was gone there was a rocky Digimon at Rob's feet.
"Finally!" the Digimon said. "I've been waiting four long years to meet you Rob. My name is
Gotsumon: , I'm very pleased to meet you."
"A rock Digimon," Rob said. "You're the rock that protected me in my dream aren't you?"
"Excuse me?" Gotsumon said. "I don't know about any dream but I am defiantly here to protect you."
"So what can you Digivolve into?" Rob asked his newly found Digimon.
"I don't know," Gotsumon answered. "The farthest I've ever Digivolved is rookie which is the form that I'm in right now, I need you to Digivolve to Champion."
"Well since you're here, can you Digivolve now?"
"No I can't." Gotsumon asked.
"Maybe we should explain Digivolving further." Elecmon said.
"The first time a Digimon Digivolves, it's not exactly voluntary, and it's done so we can protect our Digidestined partner. After the first Digivolution you can do it at will after that you can do it at will. Of course you'll turn into your rookie stage when Champion is no longer needed."
"Never mind that," Rob said. "It's not really important. What we should be concerned about is getting those crests back and assembling this six member team."
"Good to see you're enthusiastic," Jenn said. "We could really use your help. Our last encounter with just one of those Digimon Emperors took all we had to beat her."
"Unfortunately that's true," Elecmon said. "Both Penguinmon and I had to Digivolve and combine our powers before we could defeat Blackgatomon, not to mention the fact that they still have nine more Digimon slaves because of the dark rings."
"Well there shouldn't be too much of a problem," Rob said. "There's three of us now, so we should have no problem beating two of them."
"Let's not get cocky," I said. "The best thing for us to do is get those crests and get back to the real world as soon as possible then find out who their owners are complete the team and kick some Digimon Emperor butt. True with three of us there's a better chance, but it's still probably not enough, once we gather together the other three it should be a piece of cake."
"Well are we going," Rob asked. "I want to see this infamous 'Digital World'."
"Well I wasn't planning on going now," I said. "I was hoping we could come up with some sort of a plan first. The only point of this meeting was to let Rob know what exactly was going on."
"Kris it's kind of difficult to form a plan unless we have all the facts," Rob said. "We don't know where the crests are being held, and we don't know much about the enemies that we're dealing with. It's best to go in there, gather up all the facts and then form a plan."
"He's right Kris," Elecmon said. "Let's go to the Digital World."
"Okay," I said. "Let's go in there and see if we can't find those Digimon Emperors base of operations."
I held my Digivice up to the computer and said. "Digiport open."
A window popped up on the monitor and the six of us were sucked into the computer, and once again found ourselves in the stage that I like to call the "download" stage. In a second we were spit out the TV on the other end, and once again were in the jungle where we had first found Emily.
"I'm assuming this place is pretty big," Rob said. "Since it was created based on data of our own world. It must be."
"If that's the case how are we supposed to find the Digimon Emperors and the crests?" Gotsumon asked.
"We use our Digivices," I answered, looking pushing white button on the Digivice, turning it into detect mode. "It's got a mode that let's you find certain things, I think I've finally figured out the color code of the dots. The blue dot is our own Digimon, the green dots are other Digimon, and the yellow ones are other Digidestined."
Rob and Jenn turned on their Digivices, and turned them onto detect mode.
"There are two extra Digidestined and Digimon," Rob said.
Just as I had hoped, aside from the three yellow dots, and one blue dot and, two green dots there were four additional dots not far from here, two yellow and two green. Emily, and Blackgatomon, as well as the second Digimon Emperor, and his Digimon.
"Those are the Digimon Emperors, and their Digimon," I said. "We've got to find them, and get those other three crests."
"Are you sure we should attack them?" Gotsumon asked. "I mean I can't even Digivolve yet."
"We don't have time to wait for you to Digivolve," I answered. "By then, they could've found the other Canadian Digidestined, and destroyed them, we can't let them destroy them. If we wait we don't find the other members of our team, and we lose them. We can't let that happen."
I couldn't help but notice Jenn and Rob staring at me, with a look of shock on their face.
"What?" I said.
"Nothing." They both said quickly.
"No seriously, what is it."
"Well -," Jenn said. "It's just that at school, you always seemed so quiet, and well-"
"Now you're acting like a leader," Rob said. "You know exactly what to do, it's not the impression we got from your quiet, shy personality we see at school."
"I'm just stating, what I think we should do." I said. "I never really said that was what we were going to do, I was saying what I think we should do."
"It sounds like a good plan," Elecmon said.
"Yeah," Penguinmon said. "I'd agree with it we've got to act fast, before our teammates are found and destroyed."
"Ditto here," Rob said.
"Okay," I said. "The Digimon Emperors are only about half a kilometer, away from here. Let's get moving."
We walked the short half-kilometer to the location of the Digimon Emperors. We hid behind a bush; I parted the bush a bit, revealing the two Digimon Emperors. Emily, and her Digimon Blackgatomon, and another kid, a guy dressed in the same Digimon Emperor outfit that Emily was wearing, the goggles, the cape, with the fiery pattern. With the guy was a dark bluish bat Digimon. But what I really noticed were the three crests around his neck. Persistence, Curiosity, and Caution.
I turned towards the three Digimon. "Any of you recognize, that Digimon with that guy?"
"I do," Gotsumon said. "That's Demidevimon: , it doesn't really surprise me that he's the partner of the evil Digidestined. He's always been a rotten deceptive Digimon willing to sell out anyone to get his own gain."
"So Andrew," Demidevimon said. "Can we eat yet?"
Andrew glared angrily at Demidevimon, and then hit him with the back of his hand. Demidevimon fell from the rock he had been sitting on and crashed onto the ground.
"Don't ever call me that again!" Andrew yelled at his Digimon. "You are to call me the Digimon Emperor, and nothing else!"
"But I was just thinking that-"
"You're not here to think!" Andrew yelled. "You're here to fight for me, and if necessary Em- the Digimon Empress."
Demidevimon didn't say anything, to Andrew, however I did hear him mutter to himself: "And I though Myotismon was bad."
"Okay," I said. "Get ready to Digivolve Elecmon."
Elecmon nodded. I readied my Digivice.
"You too Penguinmon," Jenn told her Digimon.
"Right Penguinmon said."
"Think we can take them and get the crests?" Rob asked.
"Probably," I said. "It took two of us to take down Blackgatomon before, plus they've got Demidevimon now, and unlike Blackgatomon he is just a rookie, so he shouldn't be much of a problem."
"Unless of course he can Digivolve," Rob said. "Andrew may be an evil Digidestined but he still has a Digivice, so it's possible Demidevimon can Digivolve."
"Good point," I said. "We'll have to make this quick. Go in grab the crests and get out, hopefully before Demidevimon can Digivolve."
"Something isn't right," Rob said.
"What do you mean?" Gotsumon asked.
"They're just sitting there, staring at their Digivices, there-"
He froze in his speech; it took a while for it to sink into my mind too. About the same time that, Elecmon, Jenn, Penguinmon, and Gotsumon realized what was wrong too.
"MOVE!" I yelled. "We gotta get out of here!"
The six of us turned around, ready to run.
Too late! Much too late!
Standing in front of us, were three huge Dinosaur Digimon, all three of them wearing black prisms around their wrists.
"What do you know," Emily said. "Our little trap worked."
They had known we were here all the time. We knew where to find them, but we never considered the fact that they're Digivices would be able to find our location. They had just waited for us to show up then they called on three of their slaves, and completely surround us. No escape, three dinosaur Digimon in front of us, Emily and Andrew behind us.
"This is not good," Gotsumon said.
"Allow us to introduce our slaves." Andrew said, he pointed to the red Dinosaur Digimon. "First we have Tyrannomon: ." Andrew moved his finger towards the green Digimon. "Tuskmon: ." He moved his finger to the last blue Digimon. "And lastly Veedramon: ."
"Should we Digivolve and destroy these three," Blackgatomon said.
"No," Emily answered. "Why should we dirty our own hands when we have Digimon slaves to do it for us, don't you think Digimon Emperor?"
"Yes Digimon Empress," Andrew said. He turned to Tyrannomon, Tuskmon, and Veedramon. "Guys destroy those Digidestined and their Digimon."
The three dinosaur Digimon began to advance.
"Should we?" Elecmon said.
"Digivolve?" Penguinmon said.
"Go for it," Jenn and I said at the same time.
Our Digivices activated and -
"Elecmon Digivolved to……………….Leomon!"
"Penguinmon Digivolved to……………Kiwimon!"
"Please tell me you can do that too Gotsumon!" Rob said.
"No," Gotsumon said shaking his head. "Can't rookie is as far as I can go."
"This doesn't look good." Leomon said, as the three Digimon leered over him and Kiwimon.
"It's only three against one," Kiwimon replied. "The odds aren't that bad."
"No hesitation guys!" I instructed Kiwimon and Leomon. "You've got to attack together now before the other three can."
"On it," our Digimon said. "Super Spiral!"
Kiwimon and Leomon fired their attacks. Which merged together into one powerful purple and orange spiral.
"It worked last time," I said.
"Vee-Arrow Breath!" Veedramon yelled firing an energy arrow from his mouth.
"Slamming tusk!" Tuskmon yelled firing a pointed energy beam from his tusks.
"Fire Breath!" Tyrannomon said firing a huge fireball from his mouth.
The three attacks, and our Digimon's super spiral collided. Unfortunately, it the dinosaur Digimon's attacks broke the super spiral, the two colored beams flew apart in opposite directions, crashing into the ground. However the attacks didn't cancel each other out. The three attacks kept going and made a direct hit with our Digimon. They were sent sailing, and landed a few feet away.
"We're fine," Leomon said getting up.
"Just a little hit," Kiwimon said also getting up.
"Payback time!" Leomon said.
He drew is sword and charged at Tuskmon, and began to bring it down, and Tuskmon's head. However Tuskmon blocked the sword with his Tusks. Suddenly Tyrannomon interrupted, and rammed Leomon, easily tossing the unaware Digimon aside. Kiwimon wasn't doing that good either.
"Pummel Peck!" Kiwimon said firing tiny birds from her mouth. They exploded at the side of Veedramon's head.
Kiwimon dove at Veedramon, using her beak as a weapon. However Tuskmon no longer occupied with Leomon, easily smacked her away with his tail.
Rob and Gotsumon could do nothing but stare and watch.
"I don't care if I'm only at rookie level!" Gotsumon said. "They're losing badly. I've got to help."
"Okay," Rob said. "Be careful."
Gotsumon ran onto the battlefield, straight at Veedramon.
"Rock fist!" he yelled firing, a small rock at Veedramon, which hit him right in the chest.
It didn't do a thing it was more of a nuisance than anything. It did anger him though.
"Raaaar!" Veedramon dove at Gotsumon, and grabbed Gotsumon in his hands.
"Gotsumon no!" Rob yelled.
"I don't think so!" Kiwimon said.
She jumped at Veedramon, once again using her beak as a weapon, but once again was tackled aside by Tuskmon. And began engaging in battle with him.
"Leomon!" I said looking to Leomon to help Gotsumon.
"I'm a little busy here!" he said. He was fighting off Tyrannomon.
Now this was just perfect! Both our Digimon were unable to help, and Gotsumon was going to be crushed, and there was nothing any of us could do about it.
"Well," Emily laughed. "You Digidestined's reputation seems to have been extremely exaggerated. We really didn't think defeating you would be this easy."
"NO!" Rob yelled. "Gotsumon! I won't let you hurt him!"
Rob ran towards Veedramon, who was increasing the pressure he was putting on Gotsumon.
"NO!" Rob screamed.
"Rob no," I yelled. "You can't help him! You're going to get hurt."
I couldn't stop him, he was not only faster than me, he was also ahead of me. Now not only was Gotsumon in danger but so was Rob.
Veedramon had just noticed him.
"Destroy the kid too Veedramon," Andrew instructed.
Veedramon lifted his foot right over Rob. Rob froze, realizing his mistake.
Veedramon's foot began to shoot down.
"ROB!" Gotsumon yelled.
Suddenly Rob's Digivice activated, and began glowing, as did Gotsumon, the glow actually hurt Veedramon, causing him to drop Gotsumon. Gotsumon shot forward, saving Rob just as the foot came down, missing them by inches. Both Gotsumon and Rob's Digivice were still glowing.
"It's just like what happened to Penguinmon." Jenn said.
"He's going to Digivolve." I confirmed.
I was right, just them Rob's Digivice activated and -
"Gotsumon Digivolved to……………..Monochromon !"
"He did it!" Rob yelled.
"I am Monochromon," the newly Digivolved Digimon said. "I ram my enemies with my powerful horn, then fry them with my volcanic strike attack."
"Now it's three on three," I said. "We actually have a chance."
"Take Veedramon out Monochromon!" Rob yelled.
Monochromon nodded. Then charged, horn forward.
"Vee-arrow-breath!" Veedramon shot another arrow from his mouth straight at Monochromon.
"Volcanic strike!" Monochromon yelled firing dozens of fireballs from his mouth. The two attacks cancelled each other out, and Monochromon continued to charge, and slammed into Veedramon's stomach. He was sent flying and crashed down on the ground a few feet away. Monochromon charged again, but this time Veedramon was able to stop him from knocking him over. He grabbed his head and struggled to hold him back. They were equal in strength, both trying to overpower each other. Leomon and Kiwimon were also engaged in their own battles, Leomon with Tuskmon, and Kiwimon with Tyrannomon. They weren't losing but they weren't winning either. Leomon's sword was against Tuskmon's tusks, both pushing trying to overpower each other so they could stab each other with their sword/tusks. Neither was making any progress. Kiwimon wasn't doing any better. Kiwimon continued to fire Drill Bill and Pummel Peck attacks at Tyrannomon, Tyrannomon dodging every single one. Meanwhile Tyrannomon was doing the same thing, firing his Fire Breath attacks, while Kiwimon dodged them all. All three of our Digimon were locked in a stalemate with Andrew and Emily's slaves.
"This isn't going anywhere," I said.
"You're right," Jenn said. "There's got to be something we can do for them."
"Emily! Andrew!" I yelled to our enemies. "This fight isn't going anywhere. If you don't stop it not only is our Digimon going to be destroyed but your slaves too."
"So?" Andrew laughed.
"Why exactly should we care if they're destroyed." Emily added.
I was in shock, how could they not care? How could they be so ruthless to them?
"Don't you care if members of your own team are destroyed?"
"No." They both answered.
Now I was getting mad. Sure Tyrannomon, Tuskmon, and Veedramon were enemies but they didn't deserve to be destroyed after all, the Prism was controlling them, it wasn't their fault.
"Kris," Rob said to me. "You say that Andrew and Emily are controlling the Digimon with those dark Prisms on their arms right?"
"Yeah," I said. "Otherwise they wouldn't be attacking us."
"Then what do you think would happen if the Prisms were destroyed?"
"They'd lose control!" I said.
"Nice plan," Jenn said. "It worked on the Digimon that attacked our class."
"Guys!" I yelled to our Digimon. "You've got to destroy the dark Prisms on their arms!"
"Right." They said.
Tuskmon was first. Leomon sliced the air with his sword, sending his Lion's claw at Tuskmon. Tuskmon fired his slamming Tusk to counter it. Leomon took advantage of the distraction he had created, and jumped into the air as high as he could (which is pretty high).
"Fist of the Beast King!" Leomon said firing his main attack at Tuskmon's arms.
Perfect! It made a direct hit on the Dark Prism on Tuskmon's wrist. It shattered on impact.
"Raaaah!" Tuskmon roared.
He looked around, confused at what was happening.
"Get out of here." Leomon said. "You're free now but in a second Emily and Andrew could slap another Dark Prism on you."
Tuskmon nodded, and ran. I didn't see him escape, my eyes moved to Kiwimon's battle with Tyrannomon.
"Fire Breath!" Tyrannomon.
His Fire Breath attack landed, just as Kiwimon jumped, nearly missing her. She landed on Tyrannomon head. Tyrannomon made wild swings at her with his hands. None of which were successful. His shot up and slammed down, just as Kiwimon once again jumped out of the way at the last possible second. Causing Tyrannomon's tail to hit his head.
"Raaaaah!" Tyrannomon screamed in pain and frustration.
"Pummel Peck." Kiwimon said still in the air, and fired a tiny bird from her mouth, that - like Leomon's attack - hit the dark Prism and shattered it.
Now the real Tyrannomon was free. As soon as he realized he was free, he ran away, fearing that he would be enslaved once again. Now all that was left was Veedramon.
Monochromon and Veedramon were still trying to overpower each other.
"Super Spiral!" Kiwimon and Leomon yelled.
Their super spiral kept landed on Veedramon's back. Causing him to topple over and Monochromon overpowered him.
"Volcanic strike!" Monochromon said as he fired his volcanic strike attack, it hit the prism on Veedramon's arm, and - like the others - as soon as Veedramon realized what was happening he ran away.
"They beat them!" Andrew yelled.
"You're next," I said.
Leomon, Kiwimon, and Monochromon lined up, and prepared to attack Emily and Andrew. Just as Demidevimon, and Blackgatomon jumped between them.
Andrew held out his black Digivice. "Demidevimon Digivolve!"
"Right!" Demidevimon said.
The Digivice activated and -
"Demidevimon Digivolved to……………….Bakemon!"
"That's it," Kiwimon said.
"She's right." Monochromon laughed. "Not only is it two to three, but even though Bakemon is a champion he's a weak champion so we can handle this no problem."
"Our Digimon are right." I said. "Not only are you out numbered but you're out powered. Give us those crests before we mop the floor with you."
They didn't seem bothered, both of them just, continued to stand there and grinned.
"We don't think so," Emily laughed. "See after I lost to you before, I realized that I underestimated you, and that you actually are stronger that us as champions. So we had these fashioned."
Our hearts almost stopped when Emily and Andrew revealed their secret weapons.
Tags and Crests!
These were somehow different than the others though they were extremely dark black, and I had some strange evil feeling coming from them.
"Allow us to show you our crests." Andrew said. "The crest of Evil!"
Emily held up her crest. "And the crest of Darkness."
"So you have crests," Jenn said. "We have crests too."
"Yes," Emily said. "But our crests actually work" She turned to Blackgatomon. "Blackgatomon."
"Bakemon." Andrew said.
"Digivolve!"
Both crests began to glow, but not normal light, this light was really weird. It was a black, a sort of darkness that was stronger than light. The crests came off of the tags hovered over their Digimon. Then rained that dark light over them and -
"Bakemon Digivolved to……………………Phantomon!"
"Blackgatomon Digivolved to………………Ladydevimon!"
This had just turned from bad to worse!
"It's not that bad," Jenn said. "There are still only two of them."
"I don't think numbers make much of a difference here," Rob said. "I have a feeling those Digimon are incredibly powerful."
"They are," I said. "Phantomon and Ladydevimon are both Ultimate Digimon. Our Digimon are only at the Champion level. Even though there are three of them, I don't think that one more Digimon is going to make much of a difference."
"Come on guys," Leomon said. "Things aren't that bad we can still take them."
"Yeah," Kiwimon said. "Besides even if they are Ultimates I'm not going down without a fight."
"They're right," I said. "It's not like we have much of a choice. Let's at least try to win."
Leomon nodded smiling. "Okay guys, I'll take Phantomon, and the two of you get Ladydevimon."
The other two Digimon nodded.
Leomon's sword drawn, he dove after Phantomon.
"Lion's claw!"
Leomon dove his sword down into Phantomon, but missed, in a second Phantomon was behind him.
"You think that puny toothpick can stop me," Phantomon laughed.
Phantomon drew back his scythe, and slashed Leomon across the chest, he was sent sailing, but his cat agility allowed him to land back on his feet.
"Leomon are you okay," I asked.
He nodded, examining the wound on his chest, that slash had left a scar. "It's just a scratch."
"That's only a taste of what's coming," Phantomon bragged.
"Fist of the beast king!"
Leomon's lion shaped energy beam fired straight at Phantomon, he didn't even try to avoid it.
Phantomon evil gaze met, Andrews.
"Yes you fool!" Andrew yelled at his Digimon.
Phantomon lowered his scythe in front of him, and yelled. "Shadow scythe!"
As he did a pitch-black v-shaped energy wave shot from the scythe, it engulfed Lemon's first of the beast king, kept going, straight at Leomon! He tried to get out of the way, but the dark wave was too fast!
It made a direct hit! Straight into Leomon's stomach!
"Aaaaah!" Leomon screamed in pain.
"No!" I screamed.
As the wave faded away, Leomon was engulfed in a white glow, and shrank becoming Elecmon again.
I stared in horror, not only had he taken a direct hit, from Phantomon's shadow scythe but it was so strong he had returned to his rookie stage. I ran up to my wounded Digimon, and cradled him in my arms.
"Elecmon are you okay?"
"Did anyone get the number of that truck?" he stuttered.
"Drill Bill!" Kiwimon yelled.
"Volcanic Strike!" Monochromon yelled.
They're attacks were both aimed straight at Ladydevimon. With luck they'd be more successful that Leomon had. One Champion was no match for an Ultimate, but maybe two were.
Ladydevimon merely grinned at the attacks, both sailing towards her. She held out her hands, and yelled.
"Darkness wave!"
Suddenly thousands upon thousands of red bats appeared out of thin air in front of her hands. Some of the bats were incinerated by the attacks, but they only stopped about a tenth of what was there. The bats attacked Jenn and Robs' Digimon, biting and attacking. There were small but there tons of them way to many bats for them to handle. Both Digimon were engulfed in the same glow that Leomon had been, and like Leomon they both returned to their rookie stages. They're mission accomplished the thousands of red bats incinerated on their own accord. Like I had done Rob and Jenn ran up to their hurt Digimon.
Like Elecmon, they were hurt but they'd be all right, that is they were now. All six pairs of eyes leveled to Andrew and Emily's faces. Wide evil grins spread on their faces.
"This was almost too easy," Andrew laughed. "I don't see how Devimon, Etemon, and the Dark Masters were defeated by the Japanese version of these Digidestined." Andrew's eyes moved towards Phantomon and Ladydevimon. "Finish them."
Phantomon and Ladydevimon began to move closer to us, Phantomon raised his scythe, and Ladydevimon prepared to use her Darkness wave.
No point in running, they'd catch us in no time. All the six of us could only sit there and wait for the end. All twelve of our eyes wide open, all six of us shaking in fear, while Andrew could only laugh easily and mumble how easy this was.
I held Elecmon tight, all in vain, holding him like this wasn't protecting him, and it wasn't reducing his fear, nor mine.
Suddenly a voice boomed. "Bone glare!"
My eyes shot up, above all of us was a bone, a femur to be exact. It suddenly reflected the sunlight, and a huge flash of light shot from the bone, almost blinding, but when I opened my eyes I didn't even see dots in front of my eyes. However Elecmon was a different story.
"Ah!" he yelled. "My eyes what's happened to them I can't see."
It was the same result with Penguinmon, Gotsumon, Phantomon, and Ladydevimon, all rubbing their eyes, blinded and unable to see. However, Jenn, Rob, Andrew, Emily and I hadn't been affected whatsoever. The bone was still in the air soon coming to the ground and into the hands of the one who had thrown it. A Digimon. This was an apelike Digimon, with green hair and bluish gray skin. However what really shocked me was what was beside the Digimon. It was a kid, a kid holding a D3 in his hand. Brown, unlike my orange one, Jenn's purple one, and Rob's gray one. What was even more shocking was that I knew the kid. It was Sean, my little brother's best friend, my parents' friends' son.
"Sean." I said.
"Kris," he said. "I'd thought I'd see you here." Sean turned to what I assumed was his Digimon. "Good job Apemon: ." he turned his head towards the six of us. "We got to move now! That attack only affects Digimon, but they'll be able to see in about five minutes. Take this chance and let's run."
We didn't need to be told twice. We didn't have much choice, either stay and be destroyed by Phantomon and Ladydevimon or run and come back to fight again.
We each held our Digimon in our arms, and began to run as fast as we could from the scene.
"Arrrgh!" Emily yelled. "Stop them!"
I stopped listening after that, I could hear Phantomon and Ladydevimon began to take pursuit, but being blind they rammed into trees and stumbled about. Andrew and Emily started to chase to but we were too far ahead for them to possibly catch up.
"There's a TV around here," Sean said. "It'll take us back to our own world."
I couldn't believe how much Sean knew about the Digital World, and even more surprised that he was a Digidestined. But maybe that's why he knew so much about it in the first place.
Elecmon began rubbing his eyes.
"You okay?" I asked him.
"Yeah," he said. "I can see a little bit. What is happening did I just hear another human?"
"Yeah," I told him. "We just found the fourth member of our team."
Sean stopped, at his feet was a TV, he held up his Digivice to the TV, as he did Apemon was engulfed in the same Dedigivolving glow that our Digimon had been engulfed in. Except unlike what had happened to our Digimon this was voluntary. Apemon's rookie stage was a small little elephant.
"Digiport open!" Sean yelled.
Soon we were sucked in and then spit out into the real world, and found ourselves in Sean's bedroom, my laptop on the desk, the computer that we had come out of. I immediately closed my laptop, eliminating the chance of Andrew and Emily following us. As I did we all breathed a sigh of relief. We'd just escaped certain death.
"Thanks Sean," I said. "If you hadn't shown up we'd be toast."
Both Rob and Jenn were staring at me.
"Do you know this kid," Jenn asked.
"Yeah," I said. "He's a good friend of my brother. Obviously I had no idea he was Digidestined."
"And until this morning I didn't know you were one too," Sean said. "I saw your Digivice this morning, I didn't say anything because your brother was there, I had intended to talk to you about it after school. But by the time I found you, you and these two-" he stopped. "Oh sorry, I forgot, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sean, and this is my Digimon Tapirmon: ."
"Pleased to meet all of you," Tapirmon said.
"These are my team-mates," I said, motioning to Jenn and Rob. "Jenn, and her Digimon Penguinmon, and Rob and his Digimon Gotsumon."
They greeted Sean with a casual. "Hi."
"So," Sean said. "When exactly did all this stuff with the Digital World happen to you guys?"
"Well, the whole thing probably started about four years ago when I got my Digivice." I answered.
"Me too," Sean said. "I got it about eight years ago too, I was visiting relatives in Tokyo, in our trip that our two families take every couple years, after our families had split up, I was walking by a computer store, suddenly the thing shot out of the computer, and into my hands. My Mom fainted. Then I after I got home, I accidently placed it by our own computer, and I my tag, and Digiegg which contained my partner Tapirmon."
"Now that's hardly fair." Penguinmon interrupted. "Gotsumon and I had to wait four years to meet Jenn, and Rob, meanwhile Tapirmon and Elecmon meet them before they hatch."
"Anywaaaay," Sean continued ignoring Penguinmon. "Everything was quiet for four years, until a while ago, when my blue Digivice changed into this thing." Sean held up his brown D3.
"The same thing happened to me," Jenn said holding up her purple Digivice. "Of course I was at home when this thing first shot out of the computer. Then a week ago it became this thing."
"Me too," Rob said, also holding up his gray Digivice. "But unlike you, it wasn't until I saw that Jenn and Kris also had Digivices that I actually met Gotsumon, and got thrown into this fight with Andrew and Emily."
"Yes they do dampen something that would normally be really cool huh?" Sean said.
"So how'd you find out about them?" Jenn asked. "They attacked me when I was walking to school. -Well not them specifically, but one of their slaves, a fiery Digimon named Meramon. That's when Tapirmon first Digivolved to Apemon, and broke the dark prism, and freed Meramon. After that Meramon explained to me everything that had happened, regarding the two evil Digidestined. So Tapirmon and I traveled to the Digital World to try and stop them."
"Not exactly the smartest thing to do," Elecmon said. "They'd annihilate you two alone."
"That's what we realized," Tapirmon said. "So we didn't attack them, we just followed them to their base."
"You know where their base is!" I yelled.
Sean nodded. "That's not all, they were a little preoccupied, trying how to figure out to destroy the Canadian Digidestined team, which I assumed was you three, so I snuck in, and took these."
Sean dug into his pocket, and all twelve of our eyes lit up, at the sight of what he was holding.
Crests! The crests of the other members of our team, he took the crest of Persistence and hung it around his neck, we all assumed that crest was his.
"You got the crests!" the six of us yelled happily.
"Yep," Tapirmon said proudly. "And we replaced them with the copies that Meramon gave us."
"This is too perfect," Penguinmon cheered. "They think they have the real crests, so now we can catch them off guard when we think we have the fake ones.
"So," Sean said. "However I was only expecting two of you, it seems we have one extra Digidestined."
"No we don't," Jenn laughed, taking her crest out from behind her shirt. "We all already have our crests."
Rob and I also showed Sean our crests.
"I got mine, in a dessert in the Digital World," I said.
"And Kris recovered mine from Frigimon," Jenn said.
"And Kris and Jenn recovered mine, from Emily," Rob said.
"Then whose are the other two?" Sean asked. "Meramon only told me there were three Canadian Digidestined."
"No," I said. "When Frigimon attacked us under the influence of the Dark Prism, he presented us with four copies of the crests and one real one Emily and Andrew accidently gave him."
"So the others belong to other Digidestined out there, and unknown to us?" Sean asked.
"Yep," I answered. "And now that we have all the crests we can find them and complete our team."
I stood up. "Okay guys, as of now we have four on our team, but before we do anything, in fighting Andrew and Emily, I have to warn you, that this could get dangerous, but we've got to remember we're doing to free all the enslaved Digimon, so if any of you want to back down, now's the time, they're be no hard feelings to those they feel they're not up to the challenge of risking they're lives. I held out my hand, so who's in, Oh that means you too Digimon."
Elecmon was the first to place his hand on mine. "Kris if you're in, I'm in. You're my partner and I'll follow you anywhere."
Jenn was next; she smiled as her hand touched mine. "I've got the crest of Assistance for a reason, I have to help these enslaved, Digimon, I'm in."
Penguinmon's placed her hand - er flipper, on Jenn's hand. "Jenn's in I'm in."
"Ditto." Rob said placing his hand in.
"I feel the same way the other Digimon do," Gotsumon said placing his hand in with the rest of ours. "I follow my partner."
Sean, was last not because he was reluctant simply because he was the slowest. "I'm not letting these two hurt any more innocent Digimon, I'm in."
Tapirmon's hoof was the last in the pile of hands. "Like all the other Digimon I follow my partner."
"So," I said. "We're all in. We all swear to fight these two until they're defeated."
Everyone nodded.
"We fight them until they're defeated." I said. "We fight them until they're defeated!"
Everyone stared, at me strange looks on their faces.
"Come on guys, it's just like on TV, we all chant to seal the deal that we'll all fight."
"Those things always look so stupid." Jenn said.
"Yeah," Rob agreed.
Sean only laughed, along with the four Digimon.
"Okay okay," I said rolling my eyes. "We won't chant. Let's just seal this deal."
We all tossed our hands into the air agreeing that we would defeat Emily and Andrew. Four of us were assembled that left only two.
-------------------
-One last thing I'd like to add, is that I know that there already is a Digidestined in Mexico, that was Gotsumon, which Digivolves to Monochromon, but I don't care! Monochromon is one of my favorite Digimon, and I had to put him in, anyway, sit patiently and I should have the next chapter up soon. Thanx.
