Chapter 4: MetalGigadramon's Entrance

If you wanted to know, here is Tristan's profile.

Age: 9
Gender: Male
Crest: Life
Digimon: Wyvermon
Tristan is a very secretive member of the digidestined. He came into the
digital world about 2 years before the others, but has known of them for
a long time. His age disguises his personality, and his digimon is a
dragon digimon.

On with the story.

The digidestined rode on Whamons back for a long time. Tai decided
to stop sleeping and get up. Let's have a look whats around. Tai thought.
He got his mini-telescope and peered ahead only to see a small white dragon
flying ahead of them on the way to File Island. "Hey everybody, wake up,
it's another dragon digimon!" Tai exclaimed excitedly. "What dragon digimon?"
Matt asked. He had stopped sleeping on Whamon's rubbery skin and had got up
to see what all the trouble was. Tai handed him the telescope. "Your right!
It's the dragon digimon again." Matt agreed.

*********************

After a while Celidramon landed at the yellow beach of File Island. Tristan
could see nothing but forest once the beach finished, and further up a huge
mountain. "Infinity Mountain... that's where ChaosAndromon would have hidden.
Tristan said, looking up to the mountain. Celidramon nodded his head in
agreement.

*********************

As Celidramon grew distant in front of them, the digidestined fell back
into a sleep. When they woke up, the eight of them found themselves on
a still Whamon. "Hey look everybody, we've arrived!" T.K shouted happily.
"I'm still tired..." Mimi said, sitting up with half-closed eyes. Everyone
except Mimi jumped down off Whamon. "Come on, i have things to not do
and places to stay." Whamon said humorously. Whamon bobbed a little
bit in the water, making Mimi fall down and land on the hard ground of
File Island.

"Oh well, nice to meet you again digidestined." Whamon said. All of the
kids waved and he swam off. "So where do we go from here?" Matt asked.
"My suggestion is find Infinity Mountain again. That's where ChaosAndromon
would logically head." Tai suggested. Everyone agreed, so they set off.

Chapter 4: The little kids

After a while of walking in the jungle, the children all came to a clearing.
Everyone looked very surprised, the clearing being so round and small.
"This is very odd... I don't remember this being here." Tentomon said.
"Well, it's very chancy to happen upon a small clearing in the middle of
a forest this big." Izzy explained. Just then, a giant figure erupted
from the ground. It had a metal head and body, with a long tail but no
legs, just hands that ended in cone shaped drills. "Hello digidestined...
I'm MetalGigadramon." The giant creature said. "That can't be good."
Gabumon said.

"Genetic Blaster!" MetalGigadramon yelled. The cone-shaped drills on his
hands opened up to reveal gigantic missiles, which he fired at the children.
None of them hit the children, but sent them flying off in different
directions. T.K and Kari in one, Tai, Sora and Matt in another, and then
Joe, Izzy and Mimi off into the forest.

*******************


"T.K, wake up." Patamon said desperately trying to get his unconscious
human companion to come back to consciousness. T.K slowly
stirred. "Patamon?" He asked. "It's me T.K." Patamon said. The boy
got to his feet. "What happened to the others?" T.K asked
fearfully. He gazed around and spotted Gatomon and Kari both
unconscious. T.K and Patamon ran over to them and attempted to wake
them up. "T.K? Where are we?" Kari said as she got up. "I don't
know..." T.K replied. "The others must have got flung off in different
directions to us." He suggested.

The two children and their digimon walked for about an hour before
finally stopping, exhausted. Kari sat down and leaned against a tree
and T.K sat down next to her. "We still haven't found the others, and
we've been walking for ages." Kari said. "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll
find them soon. What's important is that none of us four get
separated." T.K reassured her. "I hope your right." Kari
replied. T.K's crest of Hope started glowing. "Well, then we should
find them in no time then." T.K said hopefully.

The children ate some food out of T.K's emergency backpack and then
both of them fell straight to sleep sitting against the tree. "The
poor kids must be exhausted." Gatomon said thoughtfully. Patamon
nodded his head. "I'll take first watch." Gatomon said. Patamon
agreed, yawning since he was more tired than Gatomon. He went and
curled up in T.K's lap to sleep.

*****************

The next morning, about 9am.

T.K opened his eyes and looked about. Patamon was watching around for
any signs of alarm. Gatomon was snoozing next to Kari, who was sleeping
using T.K's shoulder as a pillow. Well, we didn't exactly pack pillows,
did we. T.K thought as he gently moved Kari's head back onto the tree.

Patamon noticed T.K was awake and turned around. "You two have been
sleeping for ages. We need to get going if we want to find the
others." Patamon said. T.K agreed. "Hey Kari, wake up." T.K
said. Kari's eyes sprang open. "That was quick." T.K said. "Well, I
was lying in a uncomfortable position. I fell asleep sitting up." Kari
attempted to explain. Kari woke Gatomon up and the four of them
started walking again.

"There's got to be an easier way than walking." T.K complained.
Everyone stopped. "Did I say something wrong?" T.K asked. Then
he looked where everyone else was looking and saw another battle,
this time between Celidramon and Chaosandromon. "Chaos Lightning!"
ChaosAndromon's hand turned into a drill which fired a black
lightning bolt. Celidramon flew underneath it, and the bolt disintegrated
a few trees.

"Holy Breath!" shouted Celidramon. A white ray of fire spurted from his
mouth, digging deep into ChaosAndromon's forehead. He shouted out in
pain and moved back a bit. T.K, Kari and their digimon just watched
on, fascinated. Then, a kid came running towards them. He looked
a little like T.K, but his hair was slightly darker shade of blond,
and he was a bit shorter than T.K. He had green eyes.

"Who are you?" T.K asked as he reached them. "Ummm... Someone. Just get
Patamon and Gatomon to digivolve, or my digimon is going to get thrashed!"
Tristan replied. "YOUR digimon? You saying you are a digidestined like us?"
Kari asked. "You could put it that way." Tristan said.

"Gatomon, digivolve to ---- Angewomon!" The angel flew up to aid Celidramon.
"Patamon, digivolve to ---- Angemon!" Both of them were now in the sky
ready to fight. "Celestial Arrow!" Angewomon put a arrow made of energy
in her bow and fired it at ChaosAndromon, hitting him in the head where
Celidramon had attacked. He fell backwards, crushing a few trees. "Arghh!"
ChaosAndromon screamed. "Hand of Fate!" Angemon's beam went right through
ChaosAndromon's head and he was deleted.

"Yay! We did it!" T.K said happily. "Must say, you two are quite
impressive." Tristan remarked to Gatomon and Patamon, who had
digivolved back. The two of them grinned. "So anyway -oof-" Tristan
fell over as Wyvermon plummeted down and hit him in the stomach,
knocking him over. "Wyvermon you have got to stop doing that." Tristan
muttered as he picked up the little dragon and got to his feet.

"So if you're a digidestined, how come you never came and told us?"
T.K asked later as they were flying along through the trees on Dragomon.
"Lets just say I have my reasons. Anyway, you know now." Tristan said.
"Tristan, I'm almost out of energy. That many digivolves in one day can
tire a digimon out you know. I think we better rest for the night." Dragomon
said, landing in a small clearing. Tristan nodded his head and took out his
backpack. First he unpacked his reasonably large but stable tent, then
sleeping bags, pillows, a rainbow coloured digivice, and finally, food.

"Anybody hungry?" Tristan asked, knowing the answer. "Yes!" Everyone
said. He lay out a few quickly made snacks, then put out some odd foods
like self-making porridge. After dinner they made the tent and went
inside for a reasonably more comfortable sleep than the night
before.

*********

"I'm scared T.K." Kari said to the little kid on the rope underneath her.
"It's okay." He replied. He was obviously terrified himself, but he was
trying to comfort her. "Just keep climbing." T.K said.

"Okay." Kari said. She reached for another handhold on the rope, but
unluckily for them, the rope was split by a Trump Sword from Piedmon.
"You've reached the end of your rope!" He taunted, laughing crazily.
"Let go of him!" Kari cried as Piedmon grabbed T.K by the leg, threatening
to pull him off the rope.

"Let go Kari! He'll get you too!" T.K said to Kari as she grabbed his hand.
"No! I won't let you go T.K!" She replied. Piedmon slashed out with another
one of his blades. "Sounds like you two are FALLING for each other!" Piedmon
laughed.

**********

Kari woke suddenly from her nightmare. She had been having that nightmare
ever since a year ago when they had nearly been killed by Piedmon, just
saved by MagnaAngemon. The time when her and T.K had almost died, holding
on to a rope off the edge of a chasm. Just the thought of that made her
shudder. Fortunately, she knew that T.K and her were both alive, and
looked around to spot him for reassurance. "Hang on, where's T.K?" Kari
asked. She had a sinking feeling. Strangely enough, her crest was glowing
reasonably brightly. Kari had found that whenever T.K was near her crest
glowed.

Kari ran outside to find T.K standing outside watching the stars. His
crest appeared to be glowing as well. "T.K? What are you doing?" Kari
asked. "Watching that star. It's moving around." T.K explained. Kari
looked up and saw he was right. "Ummm, T.K, I don't think that's a star."
Kari said, tugging at his sleeve. The star was getting bigger.

Suddenly, the two of them were thrown backwards as a giant spurt of lava
erupted from Mount Infinity. Tristan and the three digimon rushed out of
the tent. "What's going-- ah i see." Tristan said as he saw the lava.
"I never knew Mount Infinity was a volcano!" T.K said, surprised. Patamon
hopped up to T.K's shoulder. "What could have caused that?" The little
digimon asked. "A big star hit Mount Infinity and made it erupt." T.K
explained.

Tristan's eyes widened at this news. He muttered something under his breath
that neither of the other two could here. Immediately he ran back and packed
everything away, sleeping bags, tent, pillows and all. Then he turned to
Wyvermon. "It's happened again. And this time we have to be quick." Tristan
said. Wyvermon nodded. "What's all the fuss?" Gatomon asked, noticing
Tristan's panicked state. A sword whistled past him into a tree, splitting
it in half. They turned to where it came from to hear maniacal laughing.
"That." Tristan explained.

******************

Tai and Matt were getting quite hysterical. "T.K!!" Matt yelled. "KARI!!"
Tai shouted. "It's no use guys. They're just too far away." Sora said,
attempting to calm the two over-protective brothers. Then they saw the
star. It plummeted down right into the centre of Mount Infinity, causing
it to erupt in lava. "That can't be good." Agumon said, turning towards the
mountain. They started heading towards the explosion.

******************

"HA! So you thought you defeated me, you puny creature." Piedmon
said. The statement was aimed at Tokomon. He had T.K and Kari
captured, pinned against a tree by his sword. The two digimon were in
their rookie and in-training forms. "Hang on Kari! As long as Tristan
and Wyvermon escaped we still have a chance! Don't give up hope!" T.K
said. But, his words appeared to be exaggerated. The glow of his crest
was getting fainter now, however Kari's crest was glowing quite
strongly. The digimon could not digivolve however, since Piedmon was
now juggling the two digivices. Kari appeared to just be staring in
horror at Piedmon, despite the Light.

"You'll never get away with this Piedmon!" The little Tokomon shouted
at him. "And who's going to stop me?" Piedmon grinned manically. He
aimed a sword at T.K. "Time to die." Piedmon said. "No! T.K!" Kari
cried. Her crest glowed bright white, causing Piedmon to let go
of the digivices. "Hey come back here!" Piedmon shouted as the
digivices flew out of his hands and into the hands of Kari and
T.K. "Oh no you don't. Trump Sword!" Piedmon shouted. He threw his swords
straight at the two children. "Icicle Wing!" A voice from above shouted.
Two blasts of ice flew down and froze the swords, making them fall to the
ground just short of the two children.

"Tristan!" Kari shouted happily. "Tai and Matt!" T.K
followed. MagnaDragomon was flying down and landed in the newly created
clearing. The sky was still dark. "Supreme Cannon!" Omnimon
shouted. Piedmon easily defended against the blast. "Hah! I am far
more powerful than before! You cannot defeat me now!" Piedmon laughed.
"Want to bet?" Tristan shouted from up above the battle. "T.K! Kari! Now!"
He shouted.

T.K and Kari's crests glowed pure white. "Tokomon, warp digivolve too,
Patamon, Angemon, MagnaAngemon, Seraphimon!" The newly digivolved
armoured knight brought out his holy sword. Omnimon landed next to him.
"Salamon, warp digivolve too, Gatomon, Angewomon, Magnadramon!" The
dragon flew around, illuminating the clearing. "Transcending Sword!"
Omnimon shouted. A sword sprang out of his Wargreymon hand. Omnimon
and Seraphimon rushed towards Piedmon, swinging their swords. "Hah!"
Piedmon shouted as he brought two trump swords into play. He broke off
the two attacks, but was thrown back into the tree. The impact pulverised
the tree.

"Evil Warp Blade!" Piedmon shouted. He started firing Trump Swords
like a machine-gun. Omnimon transformed back to Tsunomon and
Koromon. Meanwhile, Tristan and Wyvermon were helping T.K and Kari down
to the ground. "Come on, we have to get out of here. This battle is
better fought by the digimon." Tristan said. Kari and T.K moved back a
little, then looked at their digimon and shook their heads. "We can't
leave our friends at a time like this." Kari said. Tristan
sighed. Their digimon would be alot better off if they knew the
children were safe, he thought.

"Fire Tornado!" Magnadramon created a flame which enveloped Piedmon.
He sliced through it like it was paper. "Holy Cross!" Seraphimon moved
his sword in a cross type manner, making Piedmon step back a bit. "I
think we have a problem." Tai said. Tai, Matt, Sora and their digimon
were standing behind Kari, T.K and Tristan. The now enlarged clearing
was getting even larger. Piedmon laughed. "Evil Warp Blade!" He
shouted. "Argghhh!" Magnadramon crashed into a tree. "Magnadram--"
Seraphimon was cut short as he flew onto the ground. Piedmon turned to
the digidestined. T.K and Kari were in tears. "He... He beat them.."
T.K said. "Now for you two." Piedmon said, walking towards T.K and
Kari. Tristan ran out in front of them. "These two have done
nothing. Leave them alone." He said confidently.

Piedmon stepped back at the sight of Tristan. "You!" He hissed. "Yes,
me. Now clear off Piedmon." Tristan ordered. "I think not." Piedmon
said. "Then you leave me no other choice." Tristan replied. He turned
to T.K and Kari. The Light and Hope were glowing as bright as
ever. "Ok. It's time." Tristan said. He took the two crests in his
hands, added his own glowing Crest of Life, and clasped his hands
together.

A bright flash from the three crests knocked the older children and
their digimon unconscious. The three younger children all glowed in a
green bubble, lifting up into the sky. Tristan appeared to be
struggling to keep the crests together. Then, Magnadramon and
Seraphimon rose from where they were standing. Piedmon stepped back a
bit. "No... It can't be... The brother of Cerin has released the power
of Purity..." He said, hopeless. As the bubble reached the height of
the tree-tops, Tristan released his palms. Where the crests were there
was now a Golden Digi-egg.

Kari and T.K stared on in amazement. A ray of bright light shot out at
Seraphimon and Magnadramon. "Seraphimon --- Magnadramon, digivolve too ----
ImperialAngedramon!" The newly armoured digimon floated high in the sky.
The three youngest children landed and suddenly sat down, the process of
releasing the power of Purity had drained them. "It's my last chance....
I must try!" Piedmon said. Avoiding the slices of the giant armoured angel,
Piedmon rushed towards the three children and snatched up T.K. "T.K!!"
Kari cried fearfully. "T.K!" Tristan echoed. "HA! You think you can win that
easily!" Piedmon said.

Tristan and Kari were now crying. "G... Golden
Arm.. Armour... Energise!!" Tristan shouted in between sobs. "Wyvermon,
Golden Armour digivolve too --- Minervamon, the Breath of Purity." The
huge golden dragon flew up into the sky. "Your too laate.." Piedmon
taunted. He threw T.K into a nearby tree. Kari screamed out her best
friend's name as she heard a sickening crack. Kari and Tristan rushed
over to T.K, but found themselves too late. His crest was winking on
and off. "Imperial Cannon!" Minervamon shouted. A blast of golden
energy threw Piedmon into a nearby tree. "Destiny Deletion!"
ImperialAngedramon swung his sword in an arc. The slice cut Piedmon in
half. It disturbed the two digimon to see Piedmon grinning as he was
deleted......
