CHAPTER 7:

Tyke with V-Koromon, Klaire and Biyomon run towards the sound of Rachel's screams.

Rachel: HELP!

Tyke: There! (Tyke runs through a few thick bushes and emerged in a leafy wooded clearing about 100 feet wide with a giant rock towards the middle. Rachel is standing about 10 feet away from a giant yellow ape with giant bone strapped to its back. The ape was holding Palmon by the neck in its large hands)

Rachel: LET HER GO!

Palmon: AHHHHHHHHH!

Klaire: Biyomon!

Biyomon: Right!

Biyomon flies into the air.

Biyomon: SPIRAL TWISTER! (A swirl of wind and green energy is fired at Apemon)

Apemon: (Jumps out of the way)

Rachel: LEAVE HER ALONE! (Rachel runs at Apemon)

Tyke: Rachel! Don't! (V-Koromon jumps out of Tyke's hands)

V-Koromon: INNOCENT LIGHTNING! (V-Koromon opens his mouth and fires a lightning bolt at Apemon)

Tyke: Nice shot!

Apemon is hit in the face with the attack. Apemon drops Palmon and clutches his face.

Palmon falls to the fround and quickly gets up.

Palmon: POISON IVY! (The purple vines on the ends of her hands extend and wrap tightly around Apemon's legs with a whipping noise) (Palmon pulls back and sweeps the feet out from under Apemon.)

Rachel: Palmon! (She grabs Palmon from behind and hugs her as Palmon's vines contract back into her arms)

Palmon: I'm alright Rachel.

Klaire points her Digivice01 at Apemon and scans him for his information.

Klaire: Thank God you both are alright.

Rachel turns around.

Rachel: Yeah... guess going off on my own wasn't to wise.

Apemon flails on the ground covering his eyes. Suddenly Apemon lets out a howl and another howl can be heard nearby.

Tyke: Uh... That can't be good.

Suddenly another Apemon... slightly bigger than the last jumps over some bushes and lands with a thud in the clearing. The Apemon looks at the six of them and then at the fallen Apemon.

Klaire: Uh oh... (Klaire backs away slowly)

The first Apemon gets up and looks furious.

Palmon: Rachel... stand behind me. (Just as Palmon says that the first Apemon grabs Rachel)

Rachel: AHHHH! Let... me... go...! ... You're crushing me!

Palmon: POISON IVY! (Aims her roots at Apemon's arm)

Apemon smacks her attack away.

Biyomon: SPIRAL TWISTER!

V-Koromon: INNOCEN... (The second Apemon throws his gigantic bone right at V-Koromon)

Tyke: YIKES! (Picks up V-Koromon and jumps to the side to dodge landing on his side) Ow...

Rachel: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Palmon: Rachel! (Palmon glows)

Biyomon: Ohhhh...

Klaire: What is?...

Rachel's digivice glows.

Palmon is enveloped in a bright white light and the dome of light slowly glows bigger.

Palmon: PALMON DIGIVOLVE TO...

The light dome explodes. Where little Palmon once stood is now a tall cactus with two legs and two giant red boxing gloves. Atop the head sits orange hair.

Togemon: TOGEMON!

Rachel: (Cannot breath and closes eyes)

Klaire: Oh my God... she got bigger...

Biyomon: She digivolved...

Tyke: What is... digivolve?

Togemon: Let my tamer go! KNOCKOUT FIST! (Togemon pulls back her fist and punches Apemon square in the face) (Apemon throws the unconscious Rachel)

Tyke: No! (Tyke dives under Rachel to help break her fall and manages to keep her from landing on her head.)

The second Apemon dives onto Togemon but immediately howls in pain as he is stabbed by the hundreds of needles all over her body. The second Apemon falls to the ground on its back.

Togemon: Tyke... Get Rachel to behind the trees... Klaire... Biyomon... do the same... I can handle these two...

Klaire: Oh... Should we...

Biyomon: We should trust her...

Tyke hoists Rachel to hand over his shoulders and drags her. Klaire soon comes to assist in pulling her behind a giant tree.

Both Apemon stand up and take out their giant bones.

Togemon crosses her arms in front of her face.

Togemon: So you wanna play? NEEDLE SPRAY! (Togemon uncrosses her arms and in ALL directions large sharp needles are shot with incredible force. A lot of them shoot past Klaire, Tyke, Rachel, Biyomon, and V-Koromon and stick into the tree they are hiding behind)

Tyke: Whoa!

Klaire: I am glad she told us to take cover. Ouch...

Both Apemon get stuck with lots of needles but their adrenaline is pumping too much. They merely stagger back and then raise their clubs.

Both Apemon: MEGA BONE STICK! (Both of them begin to beat Togemon hard with the giant bones)

Togemon: AHHHHHHHH! (Togemon immediately crouches over and lays on her side as she is beaten)

Klaire: OH NO!

Rachel begins to wake up.

The Apemon continue to beat Togemon with the giant bones.

Togemon: N-...N-NEEDL... (Togemon glows and white light swirls around her and shrinks quickly) (The light explodes and an unconscious Palmon lays on the ground) One of the Apemon raises his bone to hit her.

Biyomon: NO! (Biyomon flies right into Apemon's face and pecks at its eyes)

The other Apemon smacks Biyomon so hard she slams right into a tree and slides down to the ground.

Biyomon: Ughhh...

Klaire: (Look out from behind tree) BIYOMON!

Rachel: Wha... what happened? (She holds her head and tries to catch her breath)

Tyke: V-Koromon... I am going out there to grab Palmon and Biyomon... Can you keep them busy?

Klaire: Oh please... don't Tyke... they will kill you.

Tyke: I cannot just leave them. Are you with me V-Koromon?

V-Koromon: ... Mmmmhmmm!

Tyke runs out from behind the tree and runs to about 20 feet away from the Apemon. Tyke sets V-Koromon down on the ground.

Tyke: Go for it buddy! Let loose! I believe in ya.

V-Koromon: (Looks at Tyke) Awe... Right! (Faces the Apemon) INNOCENT LIGHTNING! (V-Koromon shoots a lightning bolt at the one closest to Palmon.)

Tyke runs over to Biyomon.

Tyke: Are you okay Biyomon?

V-Koromon: INNOCENT LIGHTNING! (V-Koromon shoots another bolt at the same Apemon hitting it on the arm)

Apemon: (Howls)

Biyomon: Ugh... I'll live.

Tyke picks up Biyomon and heads for the tree.

Klaire: Biyomon!

Tyke sets Biyomon down on the ground and Klaire kneels to comfort him. Tyke runs back out from behind the tree.

V-Koromon: GAHHHHHHHHHH! (An Apemon has picked him up by his ears)

Apemon throws V-Koromon ten feet and takes out his giant bone.

Apemon: MEGA BONE STICK! (Apemon throws the bone with amazing strength at V-Koromon)

Tyke: NOOOOOOOOOOOO::::Not again:

Digivice01: Beep Beep Beep... (Glows)

BAMMMMM!

A dust cloud is kicked up where the bone hits. The bone and V-Koromon cannot be seen.

Tyke falls to his knees. The other Apemon is rubbing his eyes trying to make the pain of them being pecked stop.

The cloud clears.

Tyke: O.O Wha...

Where V-Koromon was once standing is now a white Agumon without legs, but a tail. It floats in the air and has two black marks under his eyes.

Klaire peeks from behind the tree.

Klaire: He changed too...

GhostAgumon: (Opens eyes) (Looks down at self) I ... digivolved... I am white... (He hovers upward a few inches)... and I can fly... I'm an... Angel!

Tyke: ... Awe... :He thinks he is an angel digimon... What do I tell him:

Apemon looks at this new digimon curiously.

GhostAgumon: SPIRIT FLAME! (Hits Apemon in the chest and knocks him backwards) (GhostAgumon floats over to inbetween both Apemon)

The Apemon that just got knocked over gets up with an enraged expression on its face. GhostAgumon turns his back to it and faces the other Apemon.

GhostAgumon: Hey monkeybrain! Come and get me!

The second Apemon looks at GhostAgumon with blurry vision. He takes out his giant bone.

Tyke: Be careful Agumon!

Both Apemon: MEGA BONE STICK!

Both the Apemon throws their bones with amazing force. GhostAgumon curls up and goes transparent as both bones go right through him narrowly missing one other. The bones end of hitting each of the Apemon right in the head.

The Apemon explode into red glowing particles that float in the air surrounding what looks like an orb made of light. GhostAgumon raises his head up and closes his eyes and the red particles gravitate towards him and gradually turn blue as he absorbs them.

The two orbs shoot into the sky and out of sight.

Tyke: (Still on knees looking in awe) What... was that?

Klaire steps out from behind the tree.

Klaire: I think that was his data and essence... But where it went I am not sure...

Rachel: (Moans and looks around) (Quickly she sits up) Palmon?

Tyke picks up Palmon in his arms.

Tyke: She is still breathing...

Rachel runs up to Tyke and takes Palmon from him and holds her.

Rachel: Palmon... you were so amazing... you protected me... (Rachel hugs Palmon) Thank you...

GhostAgumon floats over to Tyke at head level.

GhostAgumon: (Sounding excited) Did you see that! I beat those two digimon! ... I-I don't hurt anymore! I'm an angel!

Tyke gives Klaire and Rachel a slight concerned look.

Tyke: Yeah, I saw... Good job buddy! J

Klaire: ... You sure are.

Rachel: You are the greatest angel. You saved us.

GhostAgumon: J

Biyomon: (Tugs on Klaire's sleeve) But Klaire... He is a gho...

Klaire: (Smiles and puts her finger to her mouth) Shhh.

Biyomon????
