Episode 5: Monocromon's Volcanic Strike

Chapter 10

"Thanks a lot, Alieomon." Tyler said as the children emerged from the underground tunnel. "You've been a great help."

"No problem, kids." Alieomon said. "Remember, if you need me again, just whistle." With that, the mutant Digimon disappeared back underground.

"Hey guys." Isaac said as he opened his laptop once more. "According to the map, we're almost there."

"Yay!" all of the children and Digimon cheered. As the children began to walk through the nearby forest, Yamoto started talking to Isaac.

"Isaac," Yamoto asked, "when do you think Gotsumon will digivolve?"

"It depends, really." Isaac said. "Apparently, our Digimon digivolve when we are in danger to protect us. So, it is possible that between now and when we reach Infinity Mountain, Gotsumon or Ringmon may digivolve." Just then, the two heard Tyler calling them from ahead. As they ran up to where the others were, they saw what was in front of them.

"Guys, I think we found it." Tyler said as the others stood in awe. It was the very mountain that they had been looking for. Meanwhile, inside a frozen fortress atop the mountain, Ice Devimon growled under his icy breath.

"Those children will soon be here." Ice Devimon growled. "I can't allow them to get any closer."

Digimon Analyzer: Ice Devimon is a high-level Champion Digimon with a chilling personality. Not even Devimon comes close to this twisted soul, especially when he uses his "Frozen Claw" to stop his enemies cold!

"Desperate times call for desperate measures." Ice Devimon said as he raised his hands to the sky. Suddenly, several black rings came and hovered around him. "Go and assimilate the most dangerous Digimon you can find." Ice Devimon said to the rings. At once, all of them flew out of the palace to find a Digimon.



Chapter 11

The children made camp nearby the base of the mountain, satisfied that their journey was almost over. After eating some dinner, they were about to get some sleep. Just then, there was some rumbling nearby. Suddenly, an explosion from the forest knocked the children onto their feet. Standing in front of them was a nasty-looking Digimon with a cannon on one arm.

"Who's that, Ringmon?" Kasumi asked. "He looks mean."

Digimon Analyzer: That's Gorillamon, a Champion level Digimon with a nasty temper. His "Energy Cannon" will drive you bananas!

"Energy Cannon!" Gorillamon shouted as his arm cannon charged up and fired a bolt of plasma at the children.

DIGIVOLUTION

"Veemon, digivolve to… Veedramon!"

"Quailmon, digivolve to… Fauldramon!"

"Pincermon, digivolve to… Kuwagamon!"

"Get him!" Tyler called out to the Digimon as they surrounded Gorillamon.

"V-Breath Arrow!" Veedramon shouted as his attack hit Gorillamon. He went backwards but was still on his feet.

"Fire Storm!" Fauldramon shouted as her fireballs hit Gorillamon. He flinched but was still standing.

"Scissor Claw!" Kuwagamon shouted as he was about to clamp his pincers onto Gorillamon.

"Energy Cannon!" Gorillamon shouted as he fired his cannon at all of the Digimon. One by one, they went down and de-digivolved.

"Oh, man!" Tyler said. "This is not a good sign!"

"Now what?" Yamoto said to himself. "If all three of the Digimon couldn't take down this guy, what can we do now?"

"Energy Cannon!" Gorillamon shouted. The attack was headed straight for Yamoto and Gotsumon!

"Watch out!" Gotsumon shouted as he shoved Yamoto out of the way. The attack slammed into him instantly.

"Gotsumon, no!" Yamoto shouted. Suddenly, his digivice gave off a gray glow and enveloped Gotsumon.

DIGIVOLUTION (Yamoto's digivice glows brightly and emits rays of gray energy. It collects around Gotsumon in the form of a DigiEgg of energy.)

"Gotsumon, digivolve to…" (Gotsumon's rock-like skin peels off, transforming his body into a grid-like pattern. His body grows larger and more stocky. He begins to stand on all fours and grows a tail. His head grows horns and transforms to the head of a Triceratops. New skin and black scales grow on his body. The energy DigiEgg breaks and reveals his new form. He assumes an attack stance as the sequence ends.) "… Monocromon!"

Digimon Analyzer: Monocromon is a tough Champion Digimon that can withstand almost any attack. His scales are harder than diamonds. His attack, "Volcanic Strike", sends out millions of fireballs!

As the light fades from Monocromon, he stands in front of a very-surprised Yamoto. Gorillamon is not impressed as he powers up for his attack once again.

"Energy Cannon!" Gorillamon shouted as he fired his cannon at Monocromon. He doesn't even flinch.

"Volcanic Strike!" Monocromon shouted as he fired several fireballs from his mouth. They hit Gorillamon with pinpoint accuracy. The attack also broke some sort of rings from around his arms and made his eyes return to normal.



Chapter 12

"All right, Gorillamon." Monocromon said as he went up to him with the children and their Digimon. "Why were you attacking these kids?"

"It wasn't my fault." Gorillamon told them. "Those black rings were controlling me."

"You mean these?" Lora said as she picked up what was left of one off of the ground and showed it to him.

"Yeah, that's it." Gorillamon said. "Believe me, if I was in control, I never would have done this."

"We believe you." Tyler said. "So, who's responsible for this?"

"All I can say is that you'll find your answer at the top of the mountain." Gorillamon said as he prepared to return to the forest. As everyone started wondering who it might be, suddenly the ground started shaking again.

"Now what?" Yamoto said. Just then, the sky darkened around the mountain. The children looked up and saw a gigantic figure perched on top of the summit. He was totally white and looked like a demon. It was Ice Devimon.

"I was wondering when you would finally get here, children!" The cold demon Digimon told the children with a smirk on his face. "Now, Chosen Children, prepare to suffer!"
