Chapter 6: Earth Warrior
Davis and his group were passing through a village on their way to the forest terminal.
"Hey guys do you think we could get something to eat?" Davis said.
"It has been a while since we had anything to eat." Matt said.
"Hey guys look at this." Ken said and they saw a sign that says heroes for hire. "It sounds like someone needs help."
"That is correct." They saw Karatsukinumemon.
"What are you Snailmon?" Davis said.
"We are Karatsukinumemon and we need help." Karatsukinumemon said. The got a ride on Trailmon and started heading for the Karatsukinumemon's home. "You see our females are being held captive by a digimon named Earthmon."
"Earthmon?" Ken said.
"He says that he wants the fractal code and that a spirit lies within our mountain." Karatsukimon said.
"There's a spirit in your mountain!" Tai said.
"If that's the case not only do we need to help them, but we got to make sure this Earthmon doesn't get the spirit." Ken said. They got off Trailmon and the Karatsukinumemon led them to some carts.
"Hop on." Karatsukinumemon said.
"Wait why not stay on Trailmon?" Mimi said.
"You'll see." Karasukinumemon said and they were riding like it was a rollercoaster, but then it slipped off the tracks when it was on the side of the mountain.
"Well that's one heck of a ride." Matt said.
"It could be worse." Tai said.
"How?" Yolei said.
"We could have fallen right off the mountain." Tai said with them hanging on wooden planks. Then a ladder came down in front of them.
"Use this to climb." Karatsukinumemon said. They all started to climb except the digimon that could fly with Tai, Sora, and Mimi on the bottom.
"Well ladies first." Tai said, but they didn't look too happy. "What?"
"Tai Sora and I are wearing skirts here." Mimi said and Tai was embarrassed.
"No it's not like that." Tai said.
"Oh yeah right." Sora said with both of them slapping him.
"Well that's what I get for being a gentleman." Tai said with red marks on his face. As they continued to climb Davis spotted someone inside the Karatsukimon's house.
"Davis what's the hold up?" T.K. said.
"There's someone already in there." Davis said and when he took a look it was Ross. "Hey it's you."
"Oh man not you guys again." Ross said. They all settled in and Ross told them what he saw during a meal. "Yeah I saw the female Karatsukinumemon locked up near the top of the mountain."
"We would have gotten them free, but something threw us down." Gotsumon said.
"We didn't see who it was, but we would have been in trouble if the Karatsukimon didn't catch us." Aquamon said.
"It must have been Earthmon." Ken said.
"Then let's break those girls free." Davis said.
"Hold it Davis, I don't know who this Earthmon is, but he is a tough one and if he goes by the name Earthmon then he could use this mountain to his advantage as well as the Karatsukimon." Ross said.
"He's right, but we can take him, five of us hold the spirits of the legendary warriors." T.K. said and that surprised the Karatsukimon.
"Well let's get you guys to bed." Karatsukimon said. The beds were on the walls so the digidestine and their digimon were sleeping on leaves, but Davis noticed Ross was awake.
"What?" Davis said.
"Tell me Davis do you really think you can handle this." Ross said.
"What are you talking about?" Davis said.
"You told me your friend T.K. can be a digimon too, but do any of you know what you're doing?" Ross said.
"We've dealt with evil digimon before so we know what we're doing here. Don't worry." Davis said. When they all woke up they saw they were tied up and hanging over the tracks. "Hey what's going on?"
"Look the Karatsukinumemon." Biyomon said and they saw them up there and didn't look happy.
"What are you guys doing?" Cody said.
"You said you are legendary warriors. Well Earthmon says he is one as well, you have been in cahoots all along." Karatsukimon said.
"That's crazy." Kari said.
"We don't even know who Earthmon is." Joe said and Earthmon came out of the mountain.
"Did someone call my name?" A closer look shows Earthmon looks like neo spacian grand mole.
"That's the thing that tossed me out of the mountain." Ross said.
"Earthmon we will give you back your comrades if you give us back our females." Karatsukimon said. "Otherwise we'll toss these children off the mountain."
"Go right ahead." Earthmon said.
"Are you serious?" Karatsukimon said.
"I don't know who these kids are so go ahead." Earthmon said.
"But the said they're legendary warriors like you." Karatsukimon said.
"Is that what I said? I meant that I am the warrior of Earth for lord Cherubimon. My mission is to gather data and the spirits of the ten legendary warriors to him." Earthmon said. "Wait so those humans hold the spirits of the legendary warriors."
"So they're not with you." Karatsukinumemon said.
"That's what we were trying to tell you." Cody said.
"We would never hurt digimon." Ken said.
"Well I may not have the spirit inside this mountain, but I can take the ones you kids have." Earthmon said as he used his drill to rock the mountain. Karatsukinumemon dropped a scythe, but Ross kicked off the mountain and got free.
"Execute, Spirit Evolution."
"Lobomon."
Lobomon jumped off from the mountain and kicked Earthmon into a house. The Karatsukinumemon pulled the others up and untied them.
"We are sorry for our mistake." Karatsukinumemon said.
"It's okay you just wanted to free your friends." Matt said.
"Mole Drill." A drill closed up around Earthmon's head and tackled Lobomon through the wall with hanging on and Earthmon stepped on his hand.
"He needs help." Davis said.
"Let's spirit evolve." T.K. said.
"Execute, Spirit Evolution."
"Agunimon."
"Kumamon."
"Kazemon."
"Beetlemon."
"Kazemon, Kumamon help out Lobomon. Beetlemon you and me will take Earthmon." Agunimon said.
"I might help you out if you give me the spirit." Earthmon said. Then Agunimon kicked him away.
"Hey mole butt come and get us." Agunimon said and he and beetlemon took care of him.
"You guys stay here, I'll be back." Ken said as he climbed the mountain.
"Ken where are you going?" Yolei said, but he ignored her.
"Can't hold on." Lobomon said, but Kazemon got a hold of him.
"You okay?" Kazemon said.
"Yeah thanks." Lobomon said. Beetlemon and Agunimon continued to fight Earthmon, but he kept digging make it hard for them to hit him.
"Stay still will you." Beetlemon said.
"Mole Drill." He popped up and spins around again and again. Ken made it to the top of the mountain and got the females free.
"There you go girls." Ken said and they all made their way out. Then something came out of the mountain and everyone spotted it. It was another spirit. "It's a spirit."
"Hey that's the spirit I've been looking for." Earthmon said. Ken got out his D3 and the spirit went inside and he jumped off the mountain.
"It is time."
….
Digivolving Scene
The outline of the spirit appeared in Ken's D3 where in his other hand appeared a ring of data that he scanned.
"Execute, Spirit Evolution." Ken was surrounded by data that also shrink his size and he came down through molten rocks.
"Grumblemon."
….
Grumblemon got a hold of the mountain and everyone was impressed Ken spirit evolved.
"Who is that?" Wormmon said.
"That is Grumblemon, the real legendary warrior of earth." Izzy said.
"Hey Earthmon how about an earth warrior showdown." Grumblemon said.
"I'm game." Earthmon said. They dig in the mountain and fought inside until they came out. "There can only be one warrior of earth in the digital world and that will be me."
"Seismic Sledge." Grumblemon got out a hammer and slammed down, but Earthmon ducked down and it was a game of whack a mole.
"Me always hated this game." Grumblemon said.
"Hold up, Grumblemon jump out of there." Beetlemon said and Grumblemon jumped out.
"Thunder Fist." Beetlemon slammed his fist down on the mountain and Earthmon was ejected, but the fractal code appeared.
"Thank you Beetlemon you helped me find the fractal code." Earthmon said and swallowed it.
"Okay, my bad." Beetlemon said. The mountain began to fall apart.
"Quick everyone move." Lobomon said. Everyone moved in different directions, but they ended up falling with Agunimon, Lobomon, Kumamon with Matt, Izzy, Joe and their digimon down one way and the others down another.
"Soon lord Cherubimon will have all the data and the spirits of the ten legendary warriors. "Earthmon said.
