Story Four: MegaSeadramon
The Digi-destined were now battling off the mechanical armies of Giromon. The Mekanorimon were fairly easy to beat, as their heads were compacted into a glass dome, and when it exploded, the Mekanorimon were helpless. Guardromon were harder to deal with, since their body was purely metal. Seadramon and Veedramon were used to stop them, with their energy and ice techniques. The Tankmon were partially organic, so they were the easiest to battle.
Giromon was angry because of this. He was failing, much like Okuwamon had. This did not make the Collector very happy, but so far, he was enjoying the battles, believing that if their current pace kept up, he would be the one who defeated them.
The Digi-destined soon saw no real need for all of them to battle, as they took turns, depending on what kind of enemy they were facing. One day, they all decided to just have a nice, relaxing day while Giromon gathered his forces.
"Pass the water, okay Betamon?" Michael asked.
"I don't even have hands!" Betamon reminded him.
"Oh, yeah."
Alex was wearing sunglasses, looking up at the sun, and Kunemon had smaller shades on, turning red from its tan.
Tapirmon was trying desperately to get out of the heat since it was covered in fur, and Penguinmon had encased itself in a block of ice, while Crabmon swam about in a nearby lagoon.
"You know, one day, we'll bee in a freezing cold place, and Penguinmon will come in real handy." Adam said. "It's just freakishly hot today."
"I completely agree." Alex nodded. "I'd take off my jacket, but I think I'd peel my skin off."
"Hey, Betamon, think you could digi-volve and make a few Ice Winders for us?" Michael asked.
"What do I look like, an air conditioner?" Betamon said. "Don't answer that if you know what's good for you."
"Shaddup." Tapirmon requested.
"Make me, you fur-covered freak."
The two Digimon began fighting.
"Are you sure Tapirmon is female?" Jennifer asked.
"Actually, I thought Tapirmon was male." Alex said.
"What is Tapirmon's true gender?" Adam asked in a dramatic tone.
Tapirmon ended the fight with Betamon, and rammed its horns into Adam's knee. "None of your business." It walked over to Angela.
"Edge: Female." Alex said.
"Score is tied." Adam agreed, rubbing his leg painfully.
"Shaddup, or I'll Super Slap you." Penguinmon promised. "As soon as I get out of this ice block…"
"You did put yourself in it, you know." Tapirmon reminded him.
"Oh, yeah…"
In the Collector's fortress…
"Giromon, I tire of your constant failure. Are you going to bring me the Digi-destined, or not?" the Collector asked.
"Of course I will, master!" Giromon said.
"When? Today?" the Collector requested, calm, yet demanding.
"Um…uh…of course!" Giromon replied.
The Collector smiled. "Good. Now, do it!"
Giromon again muttered to himself as he headed from the Collector's throne room, floating in one of the hallways, before he was stopped by MetalTyrannomon.
"Need some help, ball boy?" MetalTyrannomon asked.
"Get out of my way." Giromon said, growling.
"Okay, fine. But after those Digi-destined kill ya', the boss will kill you again and feed you to the Numemon." MetalTyrannomon laughed.
"Feed me to Numemon?" Giromon asked. "That's a fate worse then death!"
"I know. One of my Drimogemons didn't obey me so I did that." MetalTyrannomon said. "It's not something I'd like to remember."
"Too bad for him." Giromon said. "I have Digi-destined to kill." He left.
"Sure you do." MetalTyrannomon grinned. "Sure you do…"
Back at the tropical vacation spot…
"Anybody else hear a rumbling?" Alex asked, as the ground began to shake violently.
"Who wants to kill us today?" Jennifer looked out at an open stretch of land, seeing the robotic army of Giromon. "Oh, man, them again?"
"Why can't we ever rest around here?" Michael asked.
"We're Digi-destined." Alex replied. "Saving the world ain't no part-time job." He turned to his worm Digimon. "Let's go, Kunemon."
"Got it!" Kunemon replied.
Alex lifted Kunemon into his arm, and charged down towards the army.
"This guy is our leader?" Adam wondered.
"Believe me, he's tougher then he looks." Michael said. "He can stand up to Digimon by himself, so don't count either one of those two out of the fight."
"Tell me, Michael, does Alex have a girlfriend?" Angela asked.
"Well, no, but he did have an interesting relationship with the other Digi-destined, particularly this girl named Kari." Michael explained.
"Spare us the details." Jennifer requested. "We have to go fight…again…"
"Figures." Adam sighed, as he grabbed Penguinmon (who was still half-incased with ice) and charged after the leader.
Giromon watched the Digi-destined approach his army from high above. "In just a few moments, the master will make me no.1 again…"
The American Digi-destined and their Champion stage Digimon fought off the simple robots who were not able to counter them very well. The battle ended in a few moments, leaving the Digi-destined victorious as usual.
Until Giromon dropped into spoil their party.
"This is it, Digi-destined!" Giromon promised. "It ends here! You all die!"
"Not likely." Alex took battle stance. "Especially when you're outnumbered, and one of us can Digi-volve to the Mega level."
"I had this whole thing calculated." Giromon replied. "One of my Mekanorimon was instructed to disable your crest, so you can not Digi-volve to Ultimate or Mega. The process is only temporary, but I doubt it will matter when you're caged by my master."
"Who is your master?" Alex demanded, very calm. "Why does he want us dead?"
Giromon grinned. "Sorry, confidential information." He tossed a bomb in-between his hands, laughing. "Now…you're dead!" He flung the bomb forward.
"Get down!" Alex ordered. The Digi-destined dropped to the ground, as the bomb exploded above them. Of course, the Digi-destined were unharmed, but a little blinded by the light show.
"This time, I'll finish you!" Giromon shot at the Digi-destined. "Chain Saw!"
"Look out!" Again, everyone dropped to the ground, as Giromon flew over. "He's really going at it today!"
Giromon turned and charged again, so the Digi-destined continued to scatter and avoid the attacks one way or another.
"What's worse, Musyamon can't Digi-volve!" Alex reminded them. "None of us can!"
Giromon shot forward, moving faster then ever.
"No time to dodge, we have to fight! Ice Winder!" Seadramon launched a few blasts of ice from its mouth, but Giromon kept coming.
"Great…" Michael muttered to himself. That was, until his crest started to glow. "Huh?" He looked as light came from it. "What's happening?"
"Your crest is activating!" Alex said. Michael looked as this happened, as energy shot from the crest, and Seadramon began to change.
"Seadramon, Digi-volve to…" the serpent became a far larger serpent, colored red, with a large, metal horn on its head, as well as larger fins, sharper teeth, and an overall more powerful appearance. "MegaSeadramon!"
Giromon stopped in his tracks. "What the…"
"Thunder Javelin!" MegaSeadramon shot a blast of electricity from its horn, frying Giromon.
"Now! Finish it off!" Michael shouted.
"Mega Ice Blast!" MegaSeadramon launched a torrent of water at Giromon, encasing it in a block of ice, then freezing the Digimon enough that its body literally broke apart, and its digital information was scattered.
"We did it!" the Digi-destined cheered, as they lifted up Michael and
the Digimon lifted up MegaSeadramon, parading back to the Digi-port.
The Collector growled. "It seems Giromon was also too weak to handle them." He turned to his last warrior. "MetalTyrannomon! Bring me the Digi-destined. Alive, if possible. Dead…just as good."
MetalTyrannomon bowed. "I will not fail you, master."
"You'd better not." The Collector said. "Because if the Digi-destined
don' t kill you, guess who will…"
