Chapter 14: Loud As Thunder

The digidestine were on Trailmon trying to get away from the Elements. Sora was taking care of Seraphimon's egg.

"Sora perhaps I should take the egg, Elecmon did teach me a few things." T.K. said.

"No it's okay I got it." Sora said.

"Here comes a fork in the tunnel." Davis said. "Which way do we go?"

"Whichever way the tracks are on." Ross said and they went down the one on the right. They came to a stop and were inside some sort of cave.

"Where are we?" Mimi said.

"The last stop, sorry I can't go anymore." Trailmon said as he started backing out.

"Come on let's find a way out." Davis said as he and Ross started to have a look around.

"I don't see a way out." Ross said.

"Maybe we can get out through the water." Yolei said.

"I don't know, we don't know how deep it is or how deep we are." T.K. said. Then some water came and burst and hit Yolei and T.K.

"T.K., Yolei!" Ken said.

"T.K.!" Matt said.

"T.K., Yolei!" Kari said as the water stopped with Yolei knocked out.

"Oh man that's not cool." T.K. said. "Hey Yolei are you okay?" Then Whamon came out and was in a panic.

"That's Whamon." Izzy said.

"Oh I can't find a way out." Whamon said.

"Whamon calm down it's us." Tai said and Whamon settled down.

"Well I'll be I haven't seen you guys in a while." Whamon said.

"Wait you know this big guy?" Ross said.

"Yeah Whamon has been a close personal friend of ours." Matt said.

"Whamon what are you doing here?" Kari said.

"Well I was swimming through the ocean and eating some sea weed, but I got trapped in this cave and now I can't seem to find a way out." Whamon said.

"It's okay Whamon." Biyomon said.

"Yeah we'll help you, we need to find a way out too." Sora said.

"Couldn't Grumblemon or Gigasmon just dig us out?" Davis said.

"Not a good idea, I don't know if we're underwater and I don't think I can dig something big enough for Whamon." Ken said.

"Then we're gonna try to make a way out." T.K. said.

…..

The Tunnel

Lightninmon and Oakmon were going down the tunnel trying to find the digidestine and reached the two tunnels.

"Which way did they go?" Lightningmon said.

"I know which way they went." Oakmon said.

"You do?" Lightningmon said.

"The opposite of the way they didn't." Oakmon said.

"How did I get stuck with you?" Lightninmon said and they heard Trailmon coming so they took cover in the other tunnel. "I found you."

…

The Cave

Back in the cave Yolei woke up and was filled in on what happened.

"So we need to find a way out to get Whamon back in the ocean." Yolei said.

"That's about right." Ken said.

"But how are we going to get someone as big as Whamon out of here? We can't even find a way out." Yolei said.

"We're just gonna have to make a way out." T.K. said.

"But T.K. how can we make a tunnel for a digimon as big as Whamon, not to mention we don't know how far down in the water we are." Cody said.

"Cody's right we could end up drowning ourselves since we can't digivolve." Armadillomon said. Then there was an explosion and Lightningmon came through the wall.

"There you kids are." Lightninmon said.

"Not Lightningmon again." Mimi said.

"There's also me here." Oakmon said at the entrance.

"Looks like it's show time." Davis said.

"Execute, Spirit Evolution."

"Agunimon."

"Lobomon."

"Arbormon."

"Beetlemon."

"Kazemon."

Mercurymon."

"Ranamon."

"Grumblemon."

"Arbormon, Lobomon you and I will take care of Oakmon, the rest of you take Lightninmon." Agunimon said.

"Oh please all of you working together couldn't beat me." Lightningmon said.

"We'll see about that." Ranamon said.

"This time we won't lose." Mercurymon said.

"Dark Vapor."

"Flash Blast." Lightningmon jumped over them.

"Metal and water should never be used to fight a warrior of thunder." Lightningmon said.

"Thunder Sword." He struck both of them down and they returned to their human forms.

"We're gonna turn you to fire wood." Agunimon said.

"You can't if you can't move." Oakmon said.

"Root Strangler." He stuck his roots in the ground and they came up wrapping around all three of them squeezing them. The others tried to fight Lightningmon, but he wouldn't stand still.

"I've got him." Beetlemon said.

"Oh you think so." Lightningmon said as he brought his sword down, but Beetlemon held it down. "Face it Beetlemon you can't beat me." He pushed his sword down and struck Beetlemon down with him turning into T.K. Oakmon continued to squeeze down on Agunimon and the others.

"What's the matter can't you breath?" Oakmon said.

"I've got this." Arbormon said.

"Blockade Seed." Arbormon launched his seed and got Oakmon to let go. Lightningmon was about to use his sword on T.K.

"Thunder Sword." Lightningmon was going to strike him down, but Whamon shot a spout of water and had Lightningmon hit the wall. Then a spirit came out.

"A beast spirit!" T.K. said. 'Could that be mine?' He thought.

"So that's what I swallowed a beast spirit." Whamon said with T.K. sensing a connection.

"That spirit's not yours, it's mine." Lightningmon said as he jumped for it, but T.K. got his D3.

"Not today, it's my turn to play." T.K. said as he got it in his D3.

…

Digivovling Scene

The face of the spirit with the outline came on T.K.'s D3 with rings of data around his other hand.

"Execute, Beast Spirit Evolution." T.K. roared as the data pressed down with electricity and he began to transform to his new spirit.

"Metalkabuterimon."

….

"Whoa that's T.K." Cody said as they all saw T.K. as his beast spirit.

"Bolo Thunder." Metalkabuterimon started shooting balls of thunder everywhere and was enjoying it.

"He's out of control, head for cover." Lobomon said.

"Right behind you." Agunimon said.

"Don't have to tell me twice." Izzy said as they jumped away and Oakmon was almost crushed by some rocks.

"I'm out of here." Oakmon said as he ran for his life. Metalkabuterimon was still firing everywhere.

"Let's not be hasty friend." Lightningmon said and that had him snap.

"You're no friend of mine. Lightningmon you don't even know the meaning of friendship." Metalkabuterimon said and aimed his cannon.

"Electron Cannon." He fired his powerful thunder cannon and Lightningmon's fractal code appeared and the spirit of ice.

"Slide Evolution." Metalkabuterimon turned into Beetlemon.

"It's back to the end for you." Beetlemon said as he got his D3. "Fractal Code Digitize." He scanned Lightningmon and was turned into a digiegg with Cody getting his spirit back.

"Welcome back." Cody said and saw T.K. exhausted. "T.K.!"

"Got you're spirit back like I said." T.K. said.

"Thanks T.K. you're a real friend." Cody said and they all cheered.

"Run!" Davis shouted. "Didn't you hear me?" With him, Ross, and Izzy running and water came down over them.

"Are we dead?" Cody said.

"I don't think so." Kari said.

"Why does it smell like fish in here?" Ross said.

"I thought that was Davis's B.O." Yolei said.

"Look it's the ocean." Matt said.

"It's Whamon!" They all said with them in his mouth.

"Thanks a lot kids." Whamon said. "Hey there's an island up ahead."

"An island?" Davis said.
