Story Seven: Male Bonding


In the golden fields of Colorado, there was quite a scene going on, that looked rather out-of-place. A young man wearing mostly black, with long, dark hair, and a sword in a scabbard across his back, as well as a yellow, worm-like creature, were walking through the plants, searching for the home of one of their fellow Digi-destined.

"Willis?" Alex called. "Willis?"

"Yo! Human guy!" Kunemon called.

The two were unaware of a large, brown creature watching them from the larger portion of wheat and long grass. It was not happy that some new people had entered its territory. And it certainly wasn't about to let them pass.

"Howling Destroyer!" came the cry from the bushes, as a large blast of sound waves shot forward, knocking over a surprised Alex and Kunemon.

Alex looked at his D-Terminal. "Haven't tried this in a while…"

Kunemon nodded. "Let's do it."

"Digi-Armor Energize!" Alex called out. The Digi-Egg of Darkness flowed from his D-Terminal, appearing in his hand.

"Kunemon, Armor-Digivolve to…" Kunemon merged with the Digi-egg, forming a powerful Champion Digimon. His body became mostly humanoid, a dark brown color, with clear wings, as well as sharp claws and mandibles. Overall looking really cool, Kunemon had reached a powerful form. "Insectmon!"

The large, brown creature leapt from the long grass, revealing itself. It had a very simian appearance, with dark, shaggy fur, as well as sharp, human-like hands and feet. It seemed to smile in an unusual, most likely arrogant manner.

"Koko Crusher." The creature said simply, as its body stretched upwards, revealing a row of cannons on its chest. It launched a torrent of projectiles forward, but Insectmon protected its body with its hard skin.

"Darkness Claw!" Insectmon swung its large hand, striking the creature away, sending it crashing hard into the ground.

"Cable Crusher!" the creature switched strategies, as its arm shot at Insectmon, much like Diaboromon. However, Insectmon dodged it.

As Insectmon was about to launch a counter-attack, a cry penetrated the area. "Wait!" All three turned to see a blonde-haired boy running towards them. A small, green creature was running at his side. "Don't hurt Endigomon!"

"Endigomon?" Alex asked.

The kid nodded. "Endigomon here is one of my Digimon. The one next to me is Terriermon."

"H-hello." The little Digimon replied shyly.

"And I'm Willis." The kid explained. "Who are you? You don't look like the other five kids I met."

"My name is Alex." Alex explained, while Insectmon de-Digivolved into Kunemon. "I'm a Digi-destined, like you, only I come from New Jersey. You see, the world is in danger."

"Danger?" Willis asked. "Danger from what?"

"Diaboromon." Alex replied simply.

Willis was surprised. "Diaboromon? But, I thought Omnimon destroyed him years ago!"

Alex nodded. "I heard about that. But, apparently, Neomon's machine did work, and Diaboromon has been brought back to life."

"Who's Neomon?" Willis asked.

"Neomon was an evil Digimon who brought back some of the greatest foes ever seen. His ultimate goal was to restore Diaboromon, but I thought Tai had stopped him." Alex explained. "Clearly, I was wrong."

"I see…" Willis nodded. "So, are the Digi-destined asking me to go to Japan?"

Alex nodded again. "Yeah. They want you to help them defeat Diaboromon."

Willis shrugged. "Just as long as I get to hang around those cute girls again."

Alex sighed. "Yeah, whatever. Let's just get going." As he turned back towards the direction of the Digi-port, a dark-brown blur shot in front of him. "Endigomon…"

"Wrong, sucker." Alex turned, in time to see a massive mechanical arm strike his face, sending him flying.

"Minotarumon?!" Kunemon said in surprise, as Alex crashed into the wheat.

"Who are you?" Willis demanded.

"As the worm said, I am Minotarumon, Diaboromon's top agent. My mission is to destroy both of you." The evil Digimon explained. He pointed his mechanical arm forward. "Now, make this easy on yourself, and die!"

"Get him, Terriermon!" Willis commanded.

"You too, Kunemon!" Alex said as he dug himself out of the wheat.

"Tiny Blast!" Terriermon launched a ball of green energy from his mouth, which bounced off Minotarumon's shoulder.

"Electric Thread!" Kunemon launched a small tangle of electrical power from its mouth, lightly shocking Minotarumon.

"Minotaur Gattling!" Minotarumon sent out a stream of bullets, which Kunemon and Terriermon dodged with a lot of skill.

"You call that gattling?" Willis asked. "Show him, Terriermon!"

"Terriermon, Digi-volve to…" Terriermon grew in size, becoming something of an army-trained rabbit. His skin was still green, only somewhat darker, with a few patches of white. He was now wearing denim pants, and had a machine gun for each arm. Overall, he looked pretty cool. "Gargomon!"

"You'd better Digi-volve to." Alex suggested.

"Right. Kunemon, Digi-volve to…" Kunemon shifted from an insect Digimon into a large, ninja warrior, clad in armor and waving a large sword. "Musyamon."

'Run Around' by Jasan Radford began to play from the radio that appeared out of nowhere, as Musyamon and Gargomon went on the offensive.

"Gargo Cannon!" Gargomon launched a stream of bullets from his arms, which Minotarumon took, receiving little real damage.

"Shogun Sword!" Musyamon sliced down with his blade, but Minotarumon blocked the attack with his arm.

"Earthquake Drill!" Minotarumon's mechanical arm shifted gears, and began to drill into Musyamon at high speed.

"Body Pummel!" Taking advantage of the distraction, Gargomon leapt in, and began to wallop Minotarumon with its cannon arms.

Willis turned to his other Digimon. "You too, Endigomon." The Digimon nodded, as it began to glow.

"Endigomon, Digi-volve to…" Endigomon grew in size, but also slimmed down, gaining a whitish coat, as well as long, gray appendages. It resembled a rabbit, only humanoid, and a lot cooler looking. "Antylamon."

"Glad to see you made it." Gargomon told his brother.

Antylamon did not reply, but pushed out his arms. "Arm Bomber!" The ground began to shoot upwards, as it slammed into Minotarumon, sending him crashing into the ground.

Minotarumon lifted himself. "Dark Side Quake!" He then slammed his robotic fist into the ground, sending a large split of ground at the three Digimon.

Musyamon leapt to one side, and Gargomon followed. Antylamon, however, ran towards the shift, and began to defy gravity by running along the walls of the split ground.

Alex and Willis were drinking lemonade and playing cards as the battle progressed. "Cool Digimon, dude." Alex said. "Got any threes?"

"Go fish."

Back in the battle, Antylamon floated infront of Minotarumon. "Meditation Curse." A circle of energy shot from around his body, sending Minotarumon crashing back, now seriously hurt.

"I'll destroy every last one of you!" Minotarumon promised, pointing his robotic arm out. "I'm putting quite a bit of energy into this shot. Not even you three can stop this!"

"Um...I fold." Alex tossed his cards down, and ran into battle. "Guys, attack him!"

"Gargo Cannon!" Gargomon launched stream after stream of bullets at Minotarumon.

"Arm Bomber!" Antylamon again uplifted the ground.

"Shogun Sword!" Musyamon cried, leaping at the minotaur, blade extended.

"Transcendent Sword!" Alex followed, right beside Musyamon.

Gargomon and Antylamon's attacks hit first, weakening Minotarumon. Then, in perfect synchronization, Alex and Musyamon slashed down through Minotarumon, appearing behind him. They then spun their swords around, still synchronized, and sheathed them. Minotarumon then crashed to the ground, as his Digital information was scattered. The Digimon all de-Digivolved, leaving Kunemon, Terriermon, and Endigomon in their place.

"I always wanted to kill you." Alex said, as he took Kunemon onto his arm. "You da' mon."

"No, you da' mon." Kunemon replied.

Willis walked over with his two Digimon. "We're ready to go."

Alex nodded. "All right. But, remember. We're in for the fight of our lives."

At Infinity Mountain, Diaboromon cursed to himself. "Blast! Still those Digi-destined counter me."

"Five of them are coming as we speak." Xanatos told him.

Diaboromon nodded. "Then, prepare, my partner." He turned towards the direction of his approaching foes. "Prepare…
