Wrenched From Calm, Thrown To Battle: Part 6

Wrenched From Calm, Thrown To Battle: Part 6

[A/N: Wow. It's taken me six parts just to get to the digital sea to fight Metalseadramon. Oh well. More details, and LOTS OF HUMOR!!!!]

[Disclaimer: Don't own.]

The Digi-destined rushed out of the strange crevice and into the blazing sunlight. The surf pounded in their ears and the kids cheered. "Hey, Matt!" TK laughed, "Is this going to be a fun day at the beach?" "You had better believe it!" Tai clapped his gloved hands, "It'll be great!" "After those attacks, it'll be a perfect break!" Joe cackled. Almost instantaneously, the Digi-destined were splayed across the sandy beach, goofing off.

Myotismon and Shinji stood where they were, arms crossed. They sweatdropped. "This is bad, isn't it?" Shinji wondered, turning to her partner. "Oh yeah." Myotismon replied, remaining still.

Tai stared at the water, debating if he should keep his shorts on and jump in, or not. He stared and stared, until he saw a ripple come in from the far out water. He looked up and studied the water. More ripples started to come in, faster and faster. Something was coming…

Tai suddenly saw a tiny glance of golden metal, coming closer and closer. He knew what it was.

"EVERYONE!" he shouted, "RUN! GET AWAY FROM THE WATER NOW!!!" The group stared at Tai as he started to run away from the water. When nothing came from the water, everyone fell silent and looked around. The water calmed, and the digimon searched around. But then, without any warning at all, a laugh rang out from nowhere.

The sand beneath the group exploded upwards. Metalseadramon appeared and circled in the sky, cackling evilly. "Now is your time to die!" he roared, "RIVER OF POWER!!!"

The kids and the digimon scattered, barely dodging the blue blast of evil energy. The sand exploded again and everyone braced themselves against the wind. Metalseadramon swooped low, hoping to catch at least one of the kids in his huge jaws. When the sand had cleared, the kids and digimon seemed all right.

"YAHOO!" a familiar voice laughed, "RIDE 'EM COWGIRL!!" Everyone looked up to see Metalseadramon flying around, someone on his head. "GET OFF ME!" he was shouting, trying to throw someone off his head. The metal dragon let out a yell of pain as the person laughed.

"Stupid dragon!" they shouted, "I've got a nice tight hold on this hair of yours!" Myotismon suddenly sweatdropped and turned to look at his partner. She wasn't there anymore. She was up on Metalseadramon's head.

"GET OFF!!!" Metalseadramon bellowed again. There was a loud clang of metal, and the dragon roared in pain again. Shinji was stamping her foot on the back of his head. Metalseadramon flew over the water, and then dove down into it with a gigantic splash. "Gomamon!" Joe turned to his partner, "Quick!" The seal digimon ran to the water, calling out his digivolving command as he went.

Joe hauled himself up onto Ikkakumon's back and held on tight as the marine digimon swam out into the water.

Under the water's surface, Metalseadramon was trying his hardest to get Shinji to let go of his hair. But the determined human just wouldn't release his hair. "DIVERMON!" the enraged dragon called into the water. Shinji opened one eye and saw about twenty blue things swim rapidly towards the Dark Master.

"STRIKING FISH!" one shouted. The entire school of Divermon hurled their harpoons at the human. Shinji let go of Metalseadramon's hair (finally) and jumped off his back to dodge the amazingly sharp harpoons. Taking a chance, the enraged dragon pulled his tail forwards and smacked the human hard.

Shinji shouted something, but the words were garbled by water (for good reason). A Divermon (a stupid one) rushed forwards, his harpoon in hand. Shinji smacked it over the head and swiftly stole its gear. The swirly-eyed Divermon sank slowly into the depths of the water. "Moron." Shinji thought, taking a breath of air from the breathing tank.

Joe looked around, hoping to spot Metalseadramon or Shinji under the water. He noticed the strange new digimon that swam up and throw the sharp weapons and jumped. "Ikkakumon, I'm going down!" he said before leaping into the water.

Joe splashed into the water and opened his eyes nervously. The black eyes shot opened when the Divermon turned towards him. "Get that kid!" Metalseadramon ordered. Joe screamed, albeit he was underwater. He tried to swim away, but he had forgotten that he couldn't swim. The Divermon swam towards Joe and the boy screamed again. His Crest of Reliability had been glowing ever since he had jumped into the water, and exploded with light at that moment.

Ikkakumon froze suddenly. A new digivolution command entered his mind, and he roared it out, "IKKAKUMON DIGIVOLVE TO!" The marine digimon grew much larger and his white fur turned a black-blue. A shell covered his back, and a brilliant hammer appeared in his muscled hand. "ZUDOMON!" the Ultimate level digimon shouted.

"VULCAN'S HAMMER!" Zudomon roared, slamming his hammer down into the water.

The Divermon let out yells of pain as energy blasts slammed into them. They sank down into the water and Metalseadramon turned in shock.

"VULCAN'S HAMMER!" Zudomon cried again.

The concentrated energy slammed into Metalseadramon and sent him down into the depths of the water. Joe choked and started to sink down into the water. Suddenly, a shadow swam up from below him and caught him. Shinji gave Joe the air tank and the two went straight up to the surface.

The Digi-destined were tense at Ikkakumon's digivolution. Then, the two Digi-destined appeared in the water, gasping slightly for breath. Zudomon quickly scooped them up and started back to the sand.

"RAAAAAAAH!!!" Metalseadramon roared, flying to life again. He flew into the sky, water erupting from the force. "AGUMON!" Tai ordered.

"AGUMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO!" the dinosaur roared, "WARGREYMON!" The Mega digimon swooped in fast. Metalseadramon was about to bite into Zudomon, when Wargreymon flew in and slashed with his powerful claws. The digi-chromazoid armor screeched against the chrome-digizoid body and the two Megas fell back.

"Get moving!" Wargreymon ordered. Zudomon did as he was ordered, and Wargreymon faced Metalseadramon. "You're going down!" the Digimon of Courage roared. "RIVER OF POWER!" Metalseadramon cried angrily. "MEGA CLAW!" Wargreymon countered.

The Mega digimon became a whirr of power, and cut through the deadly beam of evil power. Wargreymon tore through the energy to its source, and ripped through the chrome-digizoid form of the evil Dark Master. The evil digimon fell to the water with a splash, and the black data that formed his body slowly broke apart and vanished into the sky. Wargreymon flew back towards the sand, and gleamed a golden yellow. His form shrank back into Koromon, and Tai caught the little In-Training digimon.

Zudomon soon came up to the shoreline and put the two Digi-destined down. He slowly de-digivolved back into Bukamon, and fluttered into Joe's awaiting arms. "Those guys are hardly a challenge!" Matt laughed, "We'll beat them and be home before sunset!"

"Well, we had better get moving if we want to get up Spiral Mountain at all." Sora remarked. The group cheered in response, and started towards the base of Spiral Mountain. They hardly took notice of the blue streak disappearing from the multi-colored mountain.

"Honestly!" Piedmon hissed, "These children are entirely too bothersome!" "They're even worse than termites!" Puppetmon growled. Machinedramon remained silent, compiling data on the children and the digimon. Piedmon took an angry sip of his wine. Not only did Metalseadramon fail to destroy those foolish children, he explicitly disobeyed Piedmon's orders not to harm the Ninth Child in any way.

"This drama is playing itself to a powerful climax where the strongest win." he murmured. A small smirk crept across his ruby-red lips as he thought through the future he envisioned. He would not be overcome, and the children would fall.
