Chapter 10: Lightningmon Show

The digidestine were beginning to wake up after what happened with Bakumon.

"Morning everyone." Sora said.

"Hey where's Ross, Gotsumon, and Aquamon?" Davis said.

"Did they left during the middle of the night? I knew we couldn't trust him." Yolei said. "This is what happens when you let someone join us after one day."

"Wait there's a note." Davis said. "Don't worry I'll be back later sign Ross."

"Why would he leave?" Kari said.

"Only one way to find out, try to find him." Davis said.

"I got a lock on his D3, let's go before he gets too far away." Ken said.

….

Ross

Ross was walking through a field of tall grass looking for, what the voice told him, his beast spirit.

"This is nuts I can't even find anything on my D3 like last time." Ross said.

"I can barely see you through this grass." Gotsumon said and Ross bumped into another Gotsumon.

"Wait Gotsumon weren't you right behind me?" Ross said.

"Uh Ross I'm still behind you." Gotsumon said. The other Gotsumon started taking off.

"Hey wait." Ross said as they went after him. The other Gotsumon got on a rock and changed his color to look like it. "I know you're there, I have a Gotsumon as a partner. I know all your tricks."

"Alright you got me." The wild Gotsumon said.

"Why did you take off?" Aquamon said.

"I know what you want and you're not having it." Wild Gotsumon said.

"Have what?" Ross said. Then the village filled with Gotsumon was being attacked.

"Tell me where is it?" They saw a digimon that looked like Beetlemon, but was skinnier and didn't had wings.

"Hey who are you?" Ross said.

"I am Lightningmon, the new legendary warrior of thunder." Lightningmon said.

"Wait a minute are you friends with Earthmon?" Ross said.

"You know Earthmon. He did say humans have the spirits of the ten legendary warriors, are you one of those humans?" Lightningmon said.

"If your friends with Earthmon, you're no friend of mine." Ross said.

"Execute, Spirit Evolution."

"Lobomon."

"I'm not gonna let you hurt these Gotsumon." Lobomon said.

"Lobo Kendal." He tried to attack him but Lightningmon jumped up.

"Incredible so he holds Lobomon's spirit that will be mine." Lightningmon said.

"Lightning Strike Down." He shot lightning from his horn and blasted everything. Lobomon was knocked out and Lightningmon was coming after him.

"Quick we need to hide him." Wild Gotsumon said and both Gotsumon covered hi changing color.

"Where'd he go? No matter Earthmon said there were others so I'll find them." Lightningmon said and took off. When he was gone the Gotsumon took Lobomon to cover. When Ross woke up he saw Gotsumon and Aquamon.

"Good you're waking up." Aquamon said.

"What happened?" Ross said.

"That Lightningmon knocked you out and with the help of the other Gotsumon we brought you here." Gotsumon said and Ross saw more Gotsumon.

"Hey thanks." Ross said to the wild Gotsumon.

"Don't mention it, now I got to go." Wild Gotsumon said and left.

"There he goes again."

"Yeah he says he found a way to retrieve it."

"Retrieve what?" Aquamon said.

"A beast spirit."

"Beast Spirit! If Lightningmon gets that I'll never be able to stop him." Ross said.

….

Digidestine

They continued to look for Ross.

"I can't seem to find his signal anymore." Ken said.

"Hey guys there's a place called the Gotsumon village, maybe Ross is there since his partner is a Gotsumon." Izzy said.

"Let's go check it out." Davis said.

"Hold it, you're not going anywhere." They saw Lightningmon came in front of them.

"Whoa he looks like Beetlemon." Cody said.

"I am Lightninmon, are you the humans that hold the spirits of the ten legendary warriors?" Lightningmon said.

"How do you know that?" Davis said.

"Because of Earthmon and it's my job to get them." Lightningmon said.

"You want them, come and get them." Matt said.

"Let's do this guys." Davis said.

"Execute, Spirit Evolution."

"Agunimon."

"Beetlemon."

"Kazemon."

"Kumamon."

"Mercurymon."

"Arbormon."

"Grumblemon."

"Ranamon."

"Oh this is my lucky day." Lightningmon said.

"Thunder Sword." He created a sword made out of lightning and when he slammed it on to the ground they were all sent flying. "I'm going to clip your wings pixie." He had his sights on Kazemon.

"Thunder Sword."

"Kazemon no." Kumamon said as he pushed her out of the way and got hit.

"Kumamon!" Kazemon said. His fractal code appeared and his spirit came out. Lightningmon grabbed it and he turned into Cody.

"Cody!" Mercurymon said.

"He got his spirit." Arbormon said as Cody fell down.

"Cody no!" Kazemon said.

"Are you okay?" Armadillomon said.

"I think so." Cody said. Agunimon and Beetlemon jumped up at him.

"Give that spirit back now." Beetlemon said.

"Thunder Sword." Lightningmon tossed two more swords at them and knocked them down.

"Now for the other spirits." Lightningmon said.

"I don't think so." Ross said as he came running in.

"Execute, Spirit Evolution."

"Lobomon."

"Give that spirit back right now." Lobomon said.

"Come and get it." Lightningmon said and they clashed swords. At three statues the wild Gotsumon was there with a jewel.

"Hey you." He saw Gotsumon and Aquamon.

"We heard you found a way to get a beast spirit." Aquamon said.

"Our partner Ross needs it." Gotsumon said.

"Why should I even help you?" Wild Gotsumon said.

"It's called being unselfish." Aquamoon said. There was an explosion and Lobomon came clashing into the statue and turned back to Ross.

"Now for spirit number two." Lightningmon said as he came in.

"Ross!" Aquamon said.

"No!" Gotsumon said as they jumped up.

"Water Shot."

"Rock Fist." Both of them were doing what they could to hold him off.

"Gotsumon, Aquamon stop you're going to get hurt." Ross said.

"We don't care." Gotsumon said.

"You're still our partner Ross and we have to protect you." Aquamon said. The wild Gotsumon was impressed.

"The fate of the digital world is depending on you." Gotsumon said.

"We've always protected you and we're not stopping." Aquamon said.

"Now I see what they mean." Wild Gotsumon said. "Hey you catch." He tossed the jewel and Ross caught it.

"What's this?" Ross said.

"Place it in the top of the statue and the beast spirit will be awaken." Wild Gotsumon said. Ross climbed to the top of the statue and place the jewel in when the others came.

"Get out of my way." Lightningmon said.

"Thunder Sword." He hit Down Gotsumon and Aquamon with them getting hurt, but the beast spirit came out and Ross sensed a connection to it.

"That's my beast spirit." Ross said as he got out his D3 and it went in.

….

Digivolving Scene

The face of the spirit roared showing the outline of the spirit on his D3 and 3-4 rings appeared around his hand that he scanned in one swipe.

"Execute, Beast Spirit Evolution." Ross yelled in light as armor and data pressed down on his body.

"Kendogarurumon."

…..

"Wow Ross found his beast spirit. That's the beast spirit of light Kendogarurumon." Izzy said.

"Why did he find his first?" Davis said.

"Why is his a Garurumon?" Matt said.

"It doesn't matter, I'll take that spirit too." Lightningmon said as he came down.

"Howling Star." Kendogarurumon stoke out his blades and charged at him, but Lightningmon jumped over him. Kendogarurumon was banging his head against a tree.

"What's wrong with him?" Sora said.

"Uh I just found out, beast spirits are harder to control. He doesn't know what he's doing." Izzy said.

"Thunder Sword." Lightninmon tossed a sword and hit Kendogarurumon so he turned and faced him.

"Lupine Laser." He fired a laser that knocked Lightningmon off the cliff with the statues. Then he turned back and was exhausted.

"Are you okay Ross?" Aquamon said.

"Beast spirits are something." Ross said.

"I have to say Ross you're one heck of a guy." Wild Gotsumon said. "Hey sorry if I was a bit of a jerk."

"It's cool now you helped me out." Ross said as they shook hands.

"Yeah meanwhile Lightningmon got away with Cody's spirit." T.K. said.
