The Leomon Saga, Part Two
By takari-critic2001
**" Hey, Apemon! You promised you'd take me on a hike up Infinity Mountain!" Salamon exclaimed and jumped up on a sleeping Apemon. He eventually got up.
" Alright, alright, tike. I'm up. Come on, let's go." Apemon gave in and walked off to Infinity Mountain. Salamon followed closely behind. **
I woke up on Whamon speeding towards File Island with Ogremon, who was staring at me.
" Leomon, why are you going back?" He asked again.
" I told you, I need to finish some business." I replied.
" Does it have to do with Apemon?" He asked. I shot to attention. How did he know? I don't recall telling him.
" I don't know what you're talking about."
" You were talking in your sleep."
" Well, it does have to do with Apemon." I admitted.
" Tell me more of this File Island." Ogremon demanded.
" It's a quiet little place, but there's a very ruthless Digimon ruling it. A Digimon I intend to stop."
" Why? What's so bad about this guy?"
" Well…"
** Thundermon is cracking a whip on a herd of In-Trainings who are dragging building materials around.
" Hurry up with my mansion, or you shall feel my true wrath!" Thundermon roared. A Yokomon tripped and accidentally dropped her materials. Thundermon glared at her. " Lighting Jolt!" Thundermon attacked and fired an electrical bolt at the poor Yokomon, which knocked her out. Apemon and Salamon watched the atrocity from behind some rocks.
" Apemon? Why is he doing this?" Salamon asked. Apemon looked more stern than Salamon ever had seen him.
" He's drunk with power. He needs to learn some respect for others." Apemon practically growled. " I think he and I need to talk." **
" Leomon? Leomon!" Ogremon shouted. I snapped back to reality.
" Oh, I'm sorry." I said and shook off the disturbing memory.
" What's so bad about this Digimon?" Ogremon asked.
" He abuses defenseless Digimon, he strands his enemies in the ocean, and he's the one who sent me to you." I said.
" He's responsible for you coming to Server? I'll destroy him myself!" Ogremon exclaimed.
" We don't necessarily have to destroy him, just make him realize what he's been doing is wrong." I tried to explain, but the temptation of destroying him was very large. Out in the distance, I saw an island. Home.
" Land ho!" Whamon said. I made out my home island. Infinity Mountain was in the clouds, the Iceland was shifting, Seadramon was patrolling the shores, Seadramon? Seadramon! I'm supposed to be dead!
" Whamon! I need to hide!" I realized.
" Alright. Get inside." Whamon said. I slid down to his mouth.
" Coward." Ogremon mumbled.
" You too! We need to sneak up on Thundermon!" I shot.
" I'm not getting in this fish!" He replied.
" Do as your told." Whamon said, and he lunged forward, causing him to slip into his mouth.
" Hey!" He exclaimed and I placed my hand over his mouth. We swam in silence toward the island, until-
" Hello there, Seadramon. How're things going?" Whamon boomed. His load voice is a lot loader in his mouth.
" Same old, same old. Thundermon is working me to death." The sly serpent spat.
" Sorry to hear it." Yeah, right. " Anyway, good day, Seadramon."
" See ya, Whamon." He replied, and Whamon swam off.
" Alright, you too. Time to get out." Whamon eventually said. He opened his mouth, and we jumped off and landed somewhere in the Native Forest.
" Thank you, Whamon. I can never thank you enough." I said.
" Oh, we'll call it even." He replied. " I just hope you don't end up in the ocean again." He laughed and swam off. I looked at Ogremon. His jaw was opened a little wider than usual. He's lived in the desert for way too long. I started walking into the forest.
" Come on, Ogremon. We need to find some Digimon to help us." I said. Ogremon reluctantly followed. We walked silently through the forest, hoping to find an ally. Eventually, I heard a rustling in the bushes. I jumped into it and meet a horse-type Digimon with a body protruding from where the horse's head should be.
" Wha-? Solar Ray!" He held out his hand and a glowing sphere struck me. If I wasn't in front of a tree, I would have flew away.
" Ow, hey wait, I'm not going to hurt you." I said and held up my hands. He looked at me weirdly.
" You are going to hurt me. You're one of Thundermon's lackeys. You're going to report me." He shook.
" I promise. I'm against Thundermon. What's you're name?" I asked. He put his hand down.
" I am Centuramon." He said. I took a step forward and he put his arm back up.
" Hey, no one's going to be hurt. In fact, how about you help us?"
" Us?" He asked.
" Ogremon! Come over here. Slowly." I shouted, and he approached through the bush. " This is my associate, Ogremon. We would be honored if you joined us." I said, trying to sound as humble as possible. He looked at me, than at Ogremon.
" Alright. I'll help you. Only because I'd hate to end up like one of those Champions Thundermon sent out to sea and never came back." He accepted.
" Thank you. My name is Leomon. Ogremon, this is Centuramon, our new friend." I said.
" I don't see why we need this pipsqueak." He grunted.
" Forgive him, uh, he's a virus type." I apologized.
" I see." He laughed. And so it started. From Centuramon, came Frigimon, and Mojyamon. Then Andromon and Monzemon. Things were going smoothly until one day…
" Hey, Leomon. Where we headed again?" Frigimon asked.
" I believe we can greatly increase our numbers at the Primary Village." I responded.
" But there's no one their but Fresh, and In-Training Digimon. Don't tell me were sending babies into battle." Monzemon worried.
" Don't worry. They'll be our last resort. I think Thundermon has caught wind of our operation, and is planning on terminating it. We must move quickly." I encouraged.
" But how quickly? We've been traveling all day and can use a rest." Ogremon complained. " Right, guys?" The others reluctantly agreed.
" Okay, then. We'll take a ten minute break to refresh ourselves." I allowed. Frigimon and Mojyamon plopped down on a rock while Centuramon and Andromon gathered food. Monzemon fell asleep on the grass, and Ogremon said he was going to get a drink. But he's been gone for quite some time now. Ten minutes went by and I became greatly worried.
" Hold up, guys, I need to find Ogremon." I told them, and I headed off towards the direction I last saw him go. I treaded through the forestry until I came to a devastating clearing. A riverbed flowed steadily down, but scorch marks were everywhere. There were several broken trees lying about, and an unconscious Bakemon lay on the ground. Ogremon has been kidnapped. I grabbed the Bakemon and headed back to the others.
" What is wrong, Leomon?" Andromon asked. I held up the Bakemon.
" Ogremon has been taken." I announced. The others gasped. " We need to move, now. Ogremon now needs our help." The others quickly got up and we ran to Primary Village.
" What? Who are you?" Electmon asked as we broke through the clearing. He looked at each on of us. " Hey, you're that Digimon who took my Koromon." He realized. I nodded.
" Yes. They are safe in the Koromon Village in Server now. Anyway, we require assistance." I said.
" For what?" Electmon wondered.
" We are the resistance against Thundermon."
" You are? About time! What can I do?" He excitably asked.
" You and your babies can help us by being our backup in case we fail." I responded. He agreed and so did the entire village. We agreed that we would begin the battle in the morning. Everyone fell asleep to get ready for the fight of their lives.
** Salamon was watching Apemon fight a Kuwagamon who tried to eat him.
" Mega Bone Stick!" Apemon yelled, and slammed on the Kuwagamon's head. Salamon frowned at the insect.
" Rapid Paw!" He cried out, and jumped on Kuwagamon and started slamming all four paws on his head.
" Mega Bone Stick!" Apemon shouted, and slammed the bug again. Kuwagamon was knocked out. Salamon stood proudly on his body. " Good job, Salamon. You see how easy a task is with help?"
" I guess so." Salamon replied. **
My eyes snapped open. We need to get Ogremon back. Hopefully Thundermon hasn't sent him out to sea. Or worse. I looked across the horizon and saw the sunrise. But something was really wrong with this sunrise. It was littered with Bakemon, Numemon, and tons of others of Thundermon's henchmen. Time for action.
" Guys! Get up! Now!" I shouted. My army all shot up and started asking questions. " Everybody quiet! Thundermon's troops are on the ridge. We need to lead them away from the village!" I ordered. " Move out!"
We ran to the clearing near the village, and I prepped the others for the upcoming battle. I saw Thundermon's approaching army.
" Alright! We are about to stand up to the most powerful force on File Island since before I can remember. But we will win. We will win it, so those new Digimon in that village have a bright future! We will win it so this Island's inhabitants can live a free life. We will win it for all the Digimon Thundermon sentenced to the ocean, and never came back. We will win." I shouted. My small army erupted in cheers. " Alright, Monzemon! Concentrate on those Bakemon! Andromon and Centuramon! You take out the Numemon. Mojyamon, Frigimon, and I will attack whoever's left. Try directing them as far away from the village as possible. Electmon can't handle too much. Now let's do it!"
" Heart Break Hit!"
" Lightning Blade!"
" Solar Ray!" The shooters started to attack the approaching mass, and eliminating most of them before reaching us.
" Icicle Shot!"
" Sub-zero Ice Punch!"
" Fist of the Beast King!" The rest of us attacked. I pulled out my sword, and chopped through a ton of Bakemon and Numemon to get to the harder hitters. Eventually, I reached Seadramon.
" Hey, remember me?" I said as I caught Seadramon's attention. " I'm the cat you were supposed to take care of."
" I can still do it now! Ice Blast!" He said, and fired at me. I easily dodged it, and the blast hit a few Bakemon. I punched him hard in the jaw, then kicked his body. I sliced at his neck, but he moved in time. I threw my sword up, and he lifted his head to fire at it.
" Ice Blas-"
" Fist of the Beast King!" I shot him square on, and he blacked out. I caught my sword and plowed through some more of Thundermon's forces. I looked around. About three fourths of the opposing army was down, but my troops still stood tall.
" Heart Break Hit!"
" Lightning Blade!"
" Solar Ray!"
" Icicle Shot!"
" Sub-zero Ice Punch!"
" Fist of the Beast King!" I fired at a Kuwagamon. He fell on top of a few Numemon, wiping them all out. Then, I saw him. Thundermon. He was watching the chaos from high on a ridge. I leaped. I bounded up the hill and landed, face to face with the evil tyrant. He just clapped his gloved hands.
" Very good, Leomon. It seems Seadramon couldn't dispose of you like he did with Apemon." He mocked. I was angry. I was far past angry.
" Fist of the-" I started, but someone grabbed me from behind. Ogremon? Thundermon shook his finger at me.
" Tsk tsk. We'll have none of that. Dispose of him, Ogremon."
" With pleasure." Ogremon replied and grinned at me.
" Ogremon! What are you doing?" I demanded.
" I got a little tiered of you bossing me around." He sneered.
" So you decided to get bossed around by Thundermon? He's using you, Ogremon!"
" Shut up! I've always been second best! Living in your shadow! Not anymore! Today, I prove myself better than you!" Ogremon shouted, and held me over the ridge. It looked about a fifty-foot fall. I managed to grab some ground with my feet and I pushed up, and flipped over Ogremon's head. He quickly turned and kicked me into a stone wall.
" Ogremon, I never meant to cover you. I just was trying my best, I didn't realize I was covering up your talents! I'm sorry!" I tried to apologize.
" No, your not! You purposely made my life miserable! You made Pixiemon ignore me and shun me! Pummel Whack!" He cried, and slammed his club at me. I deflected it with my dagger, but both our weapons were lost over the ridge. He charged at me, and I ducked and kicked him in the chest with both my feet by propping myself up with my arms.
" Listen to me!" I tried, but Ogremon kept attacking. He punched me a couple times before I hit back, causing him to stumble backwards… towards… the… ridge! He started to flail his arms, as he lost balance and fell over. I dove and was able to catch his hand and I held it tight. " Hold on, Ogremon!" I yelled. Thundermon started laughing.
" Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Most amusing, you two. Best show I've seen. But, now, I have to close the curtains." He mocked, and approached me. I tried holding on to Ogremon the best I could. Apparently, he knocked his head pretty hard on the side of the ridge and was out cold. " And now, my good Leomon, you will be destroyed. Lightning Jolt!" He shot, and a power plant of electricity ran through my body, causing me to drop Ogremon. I screamed in pain. I instinctly lashed out, and struck Thundermon. Even touching him shocked me badly.
" You! You destroyed countless lives, ruined hundreds of dreams, shattered millions of hopes, for what?" I asked, and hit him again. I got another bad shock.
" For power. I love it, I need it." Thundermon replied and electrocuted me. I was temporarily stunned. " Now, to finish you off. Lightning Jolt!" he announced. I summoned every ounce of my strength, and leapt. The bolt flew millimeters below me, and I landed behind Thundermon.
" Fist of the Beast King!" I shouted, and unleashed a powerful blast upon Thundermon. He flew off of the ridge, and fell. I watched as his spherical body struck the ground where my sword lay, and dematerialized. I bounded down the ridge, and landed at the feet of my allies, and fell unconscious.
When I came to, everyone was gathered around me in the Primary Village. " Hey, Leomon? You okay?" Frigimon asked. I sat up and shook off the headache.
" I'm fine. How'd we do?" I asked.
" We won with no casualties. Here." Frigimon informed, then handed me my dagger. " It fell on a Bakemon who was sneaking up on me." I accepted my weapon and examined it. I can still make out some of Thundermon's remnants scattered across it.
" How's Ogremon?" I realized.
" He is fine. When Electmon saw him fall, he ordered the entire village to fire at him, thus decreasing his impact." Andromon explained.
" He still hit pretty hard, though. Might have brain damage." Centuramon informed.
I looked around at the battlefield. Over the course of the next few days, I decided the punishment of Thundermon's army. The Numemon were outcast to Factorial Town's sewers, where Andromon will keep an eye out for them, with Monzemon nearby in case of assistance. The Bakemon were banished to the Overdell Cemetery, the Kuwagamon and Monochromon go to the Native Forest, and Seadramon is banned to Dragon Eye Lake. Centuramon, Frigimon, and Mojyamon just returned to their homelands. As for me, during the deciding of who goes where, Ogremon escaped his prison to reek havoc on File Island. Seeing how I brought him here and I'm the one who drove him to madness, I now hunt him down to prevent him from hurting anyone else. I feel sorry for him. I sometimes wonder what would've happened to him if I never came to Server. But, he's here now, and I have to stop his ruthless ways, until one of us triumphs.
Yay! I'm glad that's out of my system. You ask yourself 'Hmm. I wonder how Leomon came about.' And you find yourself hunched over a computer, at two in the morning. Anyway, here's takari-critic2001, signing off.
