Author's note: I know, it seems so far that this story would fit better in the action/adventure catagory, but I want people to know that this is also a romantic type as well. And for all of you who don't have a clue what I'm saying, you'll see soon enough in the upcoming chapters. I also made up a few attacks for a few of the digimon, like Smart Bombs and Supersonic. I got those from Marvel vs Capcom (War machine)and Pokemon (Zubat). Again I must say: I don't own digimon. If I did, I wouldn't be writing this story.

Forgiveness-chapter 8

"Who are you?!" Takeru asked. The creature just smirked. "IM YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!"
He started to look around and saw that one of the digidestined were missing. 'Could he have gotten ahead. Well no matter. I'll just get rid of these fools' he thought.
"Oh how rude of me. Allow me to introduce myself before you all perish. I am Golbermon. And I figure that all of your are the digidestined, are you not?"
"You got that right. But I think it's you who needs to remember that before we destroy you." Tai defended. Everyone else nodded.
"Such brave words from such a courageous, however foolish human being. Those who seek to find the hidden treasure of Infinity Cavern will all die by my glorious pike. Now enough talk and let's get down to business."
"You read our minds perfectly." Sora said
"Ditto that" Davis added.
Their digimon were as ready as ever and didn't need an order to start digivolving. Golbermon just started to spin his spike and began on his charge.
"Alright, lets hold him off until Cody shows up so we can make our get away. Got that everyone?"
Everyone else nodded at Tai's command.
Surprising Willis stepped up ."I think I'll take on him first. Go Gargomon!" Instantly a medium sized white digimon with gatling arms and blue pants appeared before their foe. "Eat this! GARGO PELLET!"
The creature suddenly released a shower of gatling shells on the bull-like figure. However the creature just laughed. "Haha, pathetic!" He simply just spun the pike around in front of him, and deflected the incoming pellets.
"Now my turn. EARTH SHATTER!" Golbermon spin high in the air and as he made his descent, he smashed his pike in the ground, causing a massive earthquake around Gargomon. Then the ground seemed to open up and revealed a bottomless pit as Willis's digimon fell into the darkness.
"NO!!!" Willis yelled in horror. But then he saw Birdramon making a high speed dive into the pit, in a desperate move to save Gargomon.
Golbermon saw this and was about to interfere when suddenly.....
"HOWLING BLASTER!" The creature was caught off guard by Garurumon's attack and was sent flying in the air. "Nice shot Garururmon!" Matt yelled to his companion. But before the creature could return the gratitude, Golbermon recovered in the air and wasn't very happy. "Not bad, but you all will still perish!"
"Not if I can help it!" It was TK and with him, Angemon. "Now I shall show you what real justice is. HAND OF FATE!" The Angel then released a beam of holy light from his fist as it collided with the monster, which left him with only one arm. "Alright Angemon, you did it!"
But surprisingly the monster only laughed again. "You fools! You think you could defeat me so easily?"
Then from his shoulder where his arm used to be, pebbles and rocks started forming underneath and soon molded together to form another arm to replace his lost one. Everyone was shocked and speechless, except Joe. "We are in some pretty heavy shit!" was all he could say.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Com' on Digmon, pick up the pace. I think I hear some fighting upstairs" Cody called through the tunnel. Digmon just sighed a bit but still continued his work.
"Hey Cody, I'm working as hard as I can here. You expect me to be all energized for a job like this, after we've been through 5,000 leagues under the sea, being chased by savage digimon, and now I have to plow through the surface. Don't you think I would feel the least bit tired here?"
The boy continued to follow the creature through the tunnel, but seemed a bit sad now. "Oh I'm sorry Digmon. I kind of forgot how much trouble we've already gotten into. I'm just worried that the other's might need our help if they're in trouble as well."
Cody just sank his head down low as if he felt stupid. Still working, Digmon took a glance with one eye at his companion and saw he wasn't in a good mood.
"I'm sorry Cody, but you do have a point. They may need our help to make a get away. I guess I got a little carried away with what all we had to go through, just to get here. Don't I fell special that I'm the only one that could have accessed this blasted tunnel."
Cody seemed to be a little brightened up now and started to smile. "Thanks Digmon. But keep digging up there. If my calculations are correct, we should be at the surface in a few minutes at this pace." Digmon seemed to make a little salute. "Alright, let's hurry up!" Then
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kabuterimon! Wake up!" Izzy yelled desperately at his fallen digimon, hoping he would find that he was still alive.
Sure enough he could tell Kabuterimon was still breathing but was knocked unconscious, then suddenly dedigivolved to Tentomon. Golbermon seemed to chuckled. "Well that's seven down, five more to go. Now who shall be my next challenger?"
He already was able to take down Garurumon, Togomon, Nefertimon, and Birdramon. Gargomon was still weak from Golbermon's last attack and Greymon was poisoned as he was punctured by the creature's sharp poison pike. All were left now were Ikkakumon, Shurrimon, Raidramon, Stingmon, and Angemon. Yolei stepped up. "I'll go. This time you wont be so lucky." Ken looked a bit worried now. "Hey Yolei, be careful. We already underestimated him and I don't want you getting yourself hurt because of that." The girl just looked back at Ken with her tender eyes. "Thank you Ken."
But then she focused herself again at the battle. "Alright, go Shurrimon. Don't give him any sign of mercy and slaughter that bastard!" the samurai just nodded in confirmation as he started to lung out towards Golbermon.
"Taste my cold steel!" Shurrimon yelled as he locked his blades with the creatures pike. Golbermon seemed to be struggling a bit. "You're not so bad. But still you're just an inferior digimon to me!" The creature suddenly broke their lock in arms, and swiftly made a round house kick towards Shurrimon, sending him flying away.
For a moment, the samurai fell unconscious and laid on the grass. "Now your life is mine!" Golbermon screamed as he was about to pierce his weapon into the creatures chest. Yolei watched in horror as she was about the witness the death of her friend. "NO!!!"
But then Golbermon realized before he could move the pike, he found that there was a massive hole in his chest. It wasn't until a few seconds he felt the pain. 'Who could have possible done this to me' he thought. Then he slowly turned around and found a rather large creature with 2 pairs of wings, a red mask, and two gigantic arms. Each with a stabing metal spears. 'Spears? So that's where the gash was from. Those little bitches, I'll get them for that!'
"Nice one Piledramon!" Davis yelled. Before Golbermon could even get into position to finishing off Shurrimon, both Ken and Davis decided to let Exveemon and Stingmon DNA digivolve incase something rational happened. It seemed they were correct. Yolei finally had a sigh of relief as she saw that here digimon was now conscious again and was safe for now. "Now Golbermon, let's see how you do with Piledramon." Ken exclaimed. Golbermon didn't have enough time to concentrate healing himself as the huge creature lunged himself towards him with his sharp spears.
"Oh no you don't. I won't let you do that little trick again. PIKE BEAM!" His weapon started to glow a bit then he pointed it towards Piledramon as it released a powerful black beam towards its target. Piledramon couldn't dodge the shot since it was so massive, and braced for impact. As much as he could hold, the shot knocked him off balanced and plowed him through several trees. Obviously he had enough and dedigivolved back to both Veemon's and Wormmon's baby forms. Now all was left were Yolei, TK , and Joe.
Man, is there no end to this fighting? How long will be able to hold off
"Now enough with these child's play. I'll finish you all with one swift blow , then ........"
but he was interrupted as 5 drills suddenly appeared out of the ground, spearing the creature and causing 5 more fresh gashes. Then a familiar figure appear our of the ground. "Mind if I cut in?" It was Digmon.
"Hey Digimon, are we ever glad to see you." Mimi exclaimed. "But where's Cody?"
"Right here, guys." Then a young boy appeared before them through the hole the creature came out of.
"The one and only. Now lets all get the hell out of here while he's still weak." Everyone didn't need to be asked again as they rushed towards their exit. Golbermon, still weakened from the attack, was on the ground, trying as much as he could to get up again. "YOU COWARDS, GET OVER HERE AND FIGHT LIKE A REAL WARRIOR. COWARDS!!!" But that was all they heard as Cody ordered Digmon to seal the tunnel as so as everyone was in. The creature was already on it and started cracking the ceiling, causing a huge pile of rumble blocking outside's entrance. "It'll take him weeks before he could get through a mess like that. We'll be long gone by that time." Digmon commented on his work.
Tai came up and putted his hand on Cody's shoulder. "Nice timing back there Cody. You really saved our butts. Thanks." Cody suddenly felt embarrassed. "Awe, don't mention it guys. I was only doing my job."
Kari smirks a bit. "And he's modest about it. I wish another person we all know by some chance, should be a little bit more modest himself." Takeru immediately caught on what she was getting at. "Surely you don't mean me?" She just made a little smile. "I'm not saying any names." TK suddenly had an urge to return the smile, and give in to his feelings. "So is that the way it's going to be? That's fine with me. At least I wish another person we all know could be a little more careful at what she says, and not be such a smart mouth." Kari just put on an innocent face. "Takeru, you must be talking about Yolei." From a distant they could hear someone yell at them, but they both just laughed.
huh? What am I doing (Am I actually getting along with TK?)
Suddenly both of them fell silent and looked away from each other.
Matt and Tai then started to grin at seeing that their little brother and sister are starting to get along with each other. But times like these have to wait. "Alright crew, let's get a move on it." Everyone nodded as they travel farther into they mysterious cave they've stubble into.

End of Chapter 8
Now that they have entered Infinity Cavern, what lies in their path? Have they seen the last of Golbermon? And will they be able to find their crests and digieggs.? All coming up in chapter 9.....
