Desperate Measures:
Fear of Everything

By Greyfox

The ten Digidestineds, along with their Digimon, had walked heavily through a forest, wondering about where they were. Rookamon was still greiving over Ragnarokmon's sacrifice, but he did what he could. Jay continued to be quiet, and everyone had still worried about him, but he kept telling them that this was normal for him.
Jay was basically a mixture of the Digidestineds. He had the intelligence of Kouishiro, the courage of Taichi, the calmness of Yomato, and the kindness of Hikari. Everyone had felt that they had rubbed off on him, but in reality, he was like that all his life.
Pannamon had flew in stealth, in search for the Digidestineds, namely the one whom bared courage.
' That Digidestined will be mine, ' thought Pannamon, ' then this world ... will be mine! '
He continued to fly quietly to find the Digidestineds.
The Digidestineds had stopped for a rest. It had been seven hours since Goromon attacked, and it had grown darker, it was near midnight by now. Agumon had created a fire with his ' Pepper Breath ' as the Digidestineds sat down.
Tai had stood up, " Since we've got no food, " he stated, " we need to search for some. I'll volunteer since I'm still wide awake, whose with me? "
Jay stood up quietly, as did Sora. " I'll go. " they both said to Tai.
" Alright then, " Tai said, " if we're not back in an hour or so, send someone to get us. "
The others nodded their heads in agreement as their comrades left the area.
It had been almost fifteen minutes since the left, and still no sign of food. Pannamon had dropped down on them.
" Hello ... " he stated.
" Who are you? " Tai asked.
" I'm Pannamon, " he replied, " and I've come to destroy you. "
" Wha? " Sora was confused.
" Pannaphobia! " yelled Pannamon, aimed directly at Tai.
The wave of energy was tossed at Tai, and slammed him into a tree, " Tai ... " yelled Agumon.
Pannamon cackled at their pitty, " That does it, " yelled Agumon, " Agumon ... Warp Digivolve to ... " nothing happened. " Warp Digivolve to ... " again, nothing happened. " I ... can't ... Digivolve ... "
They noticed Tai's crest, it no longer glew an orange colour, but instead, a pitch black. Agumon was loosing energy, and fast ...
Sora and Jay's Digivices rang as they shot out beams of light. The Digimon were turning ' Champion. '
" Biyomon ... Digivolve to ... "
The Digivice shines white light to form an image of a fire hawk creature. The image is broken down into small data fragments just as Biyomon is shown spinning in circles until she turns into a large fire bird.
" ... Birdramon! "
" Rookamon ... Digivolve to ... "
The Digivice shines white light to form an image of a large black dragon. The image is broken down into small data fragments just as Rookamon is shown spinning in circles until he turns into the large dragon.
" ... Bahumon! "
" Mega Flare! " beamed Bahumon, omitting a powerful ray of power at Pannamon.
Birdramon had flown into the air, opening her wings, " Meteor Wing! "
Pannamon had blocked the attacks off like they were nothing, " Is that all you've got?! "
" They ... need me ... " said Agumon, as he Dedigivolved back to Koremon, " but I ... can't do ... anything ... "
" AHHHH! " Tai yelled as the pink blob leapt to him.
" What's wrong, Tai? " Sora asked.
" Big ... pink ... blob ... " he said, frantically.
" You're afraid of Koremon? "
' Perfect , ' thought Pannamon, ' my plan is working. '
" We can't keep doing this. " said Jay.
Pannamon had flown higher into the air, " Now the time has come, " he said, " Aerolight. " Pannamon had created a barrier of darkness, and shifted it towards the two 'Champion' Digimon.
" Birdramon ... "
" Bahumon ... "
" You cannot defeat me! " laughed Pannamon.
Jay and Sora's Digivices shot out beams of light through the crests. The Digimon were Digivolving.
"Birdramon...Digivolve to..."
The white light had shined through the 'Love' emblem and broke into small data fragments. The data had absorbed itself into Birdramon, as flames engulfed her, forming a fire warrior. The talons turned to fists as her wings grew larger.
"...Gerudamon!"
" Bahumon ... Digivolve to ... "
The Digivice shot a white light through the 'Vengeance' emblem. The light had shattered into small data fragments, each absorbing themselves into Bahumon's system. A chain of fire had engulfed the Dragon as he grew at least three times his normal size. The fire chain had solidified into red armour, surrounding the Dragon's body.
" ... NeoBahumon! "
" Let's finish it. " yelled NeoBahumon.
" You're very perseptive, yet you can't be serious. " Pannamon said.
" We're not afraid of you. " said Gerudamon.
" I think so, " he replied, " Aerolight! " He shot out another beam at the two Digimon.
NeoBahumon responded by lifting up the ground beneath Pannamon, and tossed it into the air. He flew into the air, next to the lifted earth, " Giga Flare! " he said as he released a beam of fire towards the beast.
Gerudamon had created a fire bird and launched it at Pannamon, " Wing Blade! "
Pannamon somehow brushed the attacks off again, " Fools, " he laughed, " you cannot win. "
' Why can't I Digivolve? ' Koremon thought to himself.
' That Digimon is way to scary to fight. ' thought Tai.
" We've got to get out of here. " yelled Gerudamon, grabbing Sora, Tai, and Koremon.
" Right. " NeoBahumon responded, grabbing onto Jay. They had both flown out of the wood, as fast as they could.
' Just a matter of time, ' thought Pannamon, ' then they will be mine. '
