Alright finally a new chapter, it's time for some action.
Disclaimer: Ik bezit geen rechten aan Digimon.
Masaru woke up from a pain in his arms and shoulders, he slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was lattice bars, he turned his head slowly to the left and to the right, his friends were chained to the wall, just like him. His feet were hanging above the ground and only the tight chains around his arms prevented him from falling down. He was in a pretty dark room he was only able to see his friends but no Digimon. He tried to talk to them, but his throat was dry and his voice was weak, also it looked like they were still asleep or unconscious.
Only a few minutes later appeared four identical Digimon, they had the same size as Kotemon, their heads and bodies were a ball covered in chain mail and a red hood.
"Wake them up! The crowd is waiting for the main fight." yelled on of the Digimon.
They had brought buckets with water and woke the Digidestined up by splashing cold water in the Digidestined's faces. They lifted the iron lattice that was in front of the Digidestined and unchained them. As soon as the chains didn't hold them anymore the Digidestined fell to the ground, Masaru fell down on his knees and was heavy breathing.
"Stand up you worthless crap!" shouted one of the Digimon.
Tadashi was about to reply something, but in the moment he opened his mouth one of the Digimon jumped towards him and slapped him hard.
"If I want to hear your voice I will let you know."
Tadashi looked at the Digimon in anger; his sister gave him a tissue to wipe off the blood that came from his burst open lips.
"Be quite and follow us or we have to use more violence!" yelled the Digimon that most likely was the commander among the four Digimon.
Shocked by what had happened to Tadashi they followed the Digimon. They were led through dark and tight tunnels only illuminated by a single torch which was held by one of the Digimon. Masaru noticed that he still was in possession of his Digivice. The guards led them further through the network of dark tunnels until they reached a big hall. The hall was round and five other tunnels were connected to the hall and a big gate was on the opposite side of the wall. One of the guards left them and the remaining three pushed them towards the gate.
The gate swung open by itself, the guards forced them to take the steps which had been behind the gate. As they walked up the stairs they finally saw light again, the steps ended in an iron cage that was illuminated by the sun. They were shocked when they saw their Digimon partners chained to the wall of the cage.
"Kotemon what happened to you?"
"I'm sorry Masaru but we got caught too and woke up like this."
"Silence!" The leader of the guards opened the door of the cage and roughly pushed Masaru out in the dirt. Moments later Kotemon lied next to Masaru in the dirt.
"And here they are the contenders for the last fight of these great games!"
Masaru and Kotemon stood up slowly and looked around to see where they were. Masaru was shocked when he saw that he stood in an arena similar to those he knew from history lessons about the Roman Empire. It must have been at least 150 Digimon on the ranks that looked down on him and Kotemon.
"And now the champion is here, the king of the arena, the undefeated: Nanimon!"
At the opposite side of the wall swung a gate open and an odd looking Digimon came out of it, it was just a head with arms and legs attached to it, but it was very muscular.
"This fight will not end until someone gets killed!"
Masaru looked around to find the announcer while the crowd cheered loud.
A big grin appeared on Nanimon's oversized face. "Do not worry child this will be over very quick if you stand still."
"Begin!" yelled the announcer.
Masaru was shocked, it was only his second day in the Digiworld and his life was in danger again, but this time not as meal of a wild and evil Digimon, but as participant in a gladiator fight.
Masaru got roughly pushed out of his thoughts as Nanimon charged at him.
"Power Punch!" Nanimon's fist became bigger and it directly aimed at Masaru's head.
"Hot Head!" Kotemon's bamboo sword started to burn and Kotemon charged at Nanimon.
Kpotemon's bamboo sword and Nanimon's fist met in a big clash. Nanimon's fist had broken Kotemon's sword like it was a match, the second punch of Nanimon came so fast Kotemon didn't even saw it, the punch sent Kotemon flying across the arena and it crushed into the wooden walls of the arena.
Nanimon now looked at Masaru and immediately charged at him. Masaru panicked, never had been good at sports or fighting, he desperately tried to run away from Nanimon, but it was clear for everyone that Nanimon was faster.
"Power Punch!"
Luckily Masaru saw the punch early enough, unlike Kotemon, Masaru didn't try to block or to counter the attack, instead he ducked away and Nanimon's punch only hit the air. Nanimon became furious about missing his mark and instantly attacked again. It was a miracle that Masaru managed to doge the attack again, but he knew that he couldn't continue like this. When Nanimon attacked for the third time it happened, Masaru fell over his own feet into the dust of the arena. Nanimon's punch might have missed again, but now Masaru was lying on the ground and he knew that he wouldn't be able to evade the next attack.
"Hot Head!" Kotemon had managed to recover a bit and had attacked Nanimon with a head-butt while his Kendo-Mask was burning. But the attack had not much effect on Nanimon; it had just made it angrier.
"Tettsui!" Nanimon turned around and hit Kotemon's head with a downward punch, shuttering Kotemon's helmet, revealing its lizard like head. Nanimon raised its fist again to deliver the final blow, but Masaru jumped between Nanimon and its target. Masaru felt like he had been hit by a truck when Nanimon's fist crushed into his back. His whole body hurt and he saw everything pretty blurred.
"Masaru!" Kotemon looked with big eyes at Masaru.
Sakura was shocked when she saw what had happened to her brother. She tried to open the door of the cage but one of the guards grabbed her hair and pulled her back very roughly.
"You asshole!" May kicked the Digimon that had hurt Sakura with all her might.
She had hit the Digimon pretty hard but as soon as she was about to attack again she felt something cold and sharp at her throat, one of the guards held its sword against her neck. May didn't dare to move, even if it seemed that the guards had order not to kill the Digidestined.
Nanimon looked down at Masaru and Kotemon. "I have to admit you fought brave, but it was not enough. It is over now."
It raised its fist again, but it was unable to make the final punch, because it was blinded by a green light coming from Kotemon.
Kotemon digivolve to Gladimon!
Kotemon's body transformed into a ball with arms and legs, its body was completely covered by a medieval armor, only its blue eyes remained unprotected and it held a saber in every hand.
"Blade Furry!" Gladimon pointed its sabers away from its body and spun its body very fast creating a destructive whirlwind of steel.
Nanimon quickly backed away from the deadly rotary Gladimon had become. But it had been too late Nanimon already had taken a few painful hits.
"Power Punch!" Nanimon took a moment to study Gladimon's movements and then charged at its opponent.
"Omni Slash!" Gladimon dodged Nanimon's attack with a quick jump in the last moment and Gladimon hit Nanimon hard with its sabers. Immediately Gladimon made another jump and hit Nanimon again, Gladimon started to jump around Nanimon in circles and with every jump it made a slash with its sabers. After a dozen of hits from Gladimon Nanimon fell unconscious to the ground. Gladimon looked at Masaru and raised its sword for the final slash.
"No you don't have to do this Gladimon, it's more important now to help the others."
"Alright I am with you."
Masaru had managed to stand up but he still had lots of pain every time he moved. He didn't know why but suddenly he noticed two tall hooded creatures on the visitor ranks that looked at him and Gladimon.
May gritted her teeth she was very confident with her fighting skills, but she still had doubts if she could fight while someone held razor edge sharp sword against her throat.
"May!" Dracomon got covered by lavender light.
Dracomon digivolve to Coredramon Blue!
Dracomon became a lot bigger, three times the size of a man (A/N: ̴ the size of Greymon in the anime.) also the horns and claws of Dracomon grew bigger and it scales became bright blue. The cage busted just by the expansion of Dracomon's size during the digivolution. May looked in awe at her Digivice that was still glowing slightly. Suddenly a picture of the Digimon which had captured the Digidestined popped up together with some information about them.
"Ninjamon." Spoke May angry.
"Blue Flare Breath!" Coredramon released extremely hot blue flames from its mouth; the flames set the wooden parts of the wall behind the cage in flames. Two of the Ninjamon came in contact with the flames and immediately started to burn. May was shocked when she saw the two Digimon rolling on the ground desperately trying to get rid of the flames while they screamed in pain. She never had seen something cruel like this before. Another one of the Ninjamon attacked, jumping towards Coredramon.
"Strike Bomber!" Coredramon used its tail to smash the attacking Ninjamon into the ground, it dint move anymore afterwards.
At the same out of nowhere different parts of the visitor ranks exploded or started to burn, a mass panic broke out among the visitors of the games. Suddenly a tall hooded creature with a big club appeared besides the Digidestined and knocked the remaining Ninjamon out for just a second green skin was visible under the hood.
"Come with me if you want to live, we do not have much time."
The Digidestined didn't know why but for some reason the felt like they could trust the stranger that had appeared.
Suddenly Masaru felt strong arms around him that picked him up. "Do not worry I will bring you to your friends." said a dark but warm voice.
Gladimon had dedigivolved into Kotemon and the stranger also picked up Kotemon, for just a moment Masaru saw the arm of the stranger it was covered with brown fur. He realized that this must be one of the hooded strangers he had seen among the visitors earlier.
Coredramon dedigivolved into Dracomon and the Digidestined followed the stranger into the tunnels; Sakura turned her head to look after her brother. She saw another hooded stranger which carried Masaru and Kotemon. They ran through the network of tunnels, it seemed like the strangers new exactly where they had to go.
"Who are you? And where are we going" asked May curious.
"We are old friends of your parents and we go to place where it is save." Answered the stranger who carried Masaru and Kotemon.
"Old friends of our parents?" Masaru couldn't believe what he just had heard.
"Yes you can trust us; we will bring you to the hideout. There we can tell you the whole story."
So another chapter is done, I bet you already know who the two strangers are. I hope I can update the next chapter a bit quicker.
As always pls R&R and I see you soon
