Author's Note:*Ahem* *Cough* I thought I'd let you know...I'm a MummymonXArukenimon fan now. In short, I'm no longer as anti-digimon as I was before. Oh come on! They're just like James and Jessie (well, you gotta mix in a little The Mummy stuff) Hell, they even SOUND like J&J at points (their VOICES, friends, NOT WHAT they say. God knows how Pokefans will react to James talking like Mummymon!? Well, Rocketshipping will be justified and proof he wasn't gay but... Anyway, sorry this took so long but when I was using Notepad, I obviously wrote too much and it didn't have enough memory for me to write beyond 15 characters at a time so I switched to Wordpad for now. And hey, Haytham, don't you mind putting in a good word for me now and then in your fics and get your friends to review some over here? Please? Please? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"SSSKKKKEEAAAA!" cries out Moltres as he tumbles in the air from a blast of Elementroar's Hydro Cannons, smoke sizzling at where he was hit.
"SSUUUIIICCUUUNNNEEE!" growls the Titan of Water, shooting a stream of Bubblebeams at Elementroar.
"GGrrrr... RWAAA REEE RWAAA!" roars Elementroar, twisting this way and that as the bubbles explode around him.
The other Legends take this oppunity to retaliate.
'Aeroblast!' Lugia's roar rattles the psyche of all near, as he shoots his Legendary attack, a pure, bright blue beam, a concentration of the power of the sky itself, at Elementroar
"SQWA!" Ho-oh sends his own Legendary attack, the Sacred Fire that always burned within him, the fire that burns all, at Elementroar.
The others, though are without their own trademark attacks, were not without powerful attacks all the same.
Articuno shoots out a storm of ice shards in a Blizzard attack at Elementroar. Moltres, though hurt, gives a decent Fireblast at Elementroar and Zapdos, racked Elementroar's frame with a 100,000 volt Thunder attack. The Legendary Dog, Suicune, shoots a mighty Hydro Pump at Elementroar, knocking him straight up from below, the other Legendary Dogs, did the same attacks as their Bird counterparts, coordinating their own attacks to focus with the Birds'.
"RRRAAAARRRGGGG!" cried out Elementroar, a roar and a scream in pain, his body collasping under the onslaught.
"You...won't...defeat ME that...easily!" he gasps, barely recovering from the attack.
The Legends send another wave at Elementroar, hoping to finally finish him off.
Elementroar quickly brings back his wings and flaps them forward, hard.
"MIRROR MOVE!"
The mystical mirror appears around Elementroar on all sides and stands up against the attacks as they hit it.
The Legends are dumbfounded.
'What?' gasps Lugia in surprise.
The Legendary Birds sqwak their disbelief and fear. Suicune takes a step back and Entei looks up, jaw agaped. Raikou growls and electricity sparks along his back.
The mirror shield absorbs all their attacks and changings into a evermoving swirl of rainbow colours.
'No! A Mirror Move merely copies an attack used! Not absorb the attack itself!' Lugia said, perplexed and not liking the situation one bit.
"Oh?" grins Elementroar, "I guess I'm special."
The attacks that the Legends had used shot back from from the mirror, striking each one's weakness. Thunder to Suicune, Fire Blast to Articuno and so on. Aeroblast hits Ho-oh while Scared Fire hits Lugia.
'ARGH!'
The Legends all collaspe onto the ground, some struggling to get up while others wince and grimace at aches all over their bodies.
"You all, seem to have forgotten, why I am called the Beast of the Elements." husks Elementroar, descending down onto the ground to meet his beaten adversaries.
He pads his way towards Lugia, who is struggling the most and with one eye bleeding. As Elementroar stops in front of him, Lugia raises his noble head and tilts it to glare at Elementroar with his good eye. Elementroar smirks.
"HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?" Elementroar slams a heavy, stony paw onto Lugia's head, digging it into the ground.
"I control all things, living and not," he bringa his head close to Lugia's and blew hot breath into his eyes as he speaks,"Even you, God of Water. HA! You are nothing but an insignificant mortal and I am the all powerful God! I toil with your life as you would a fly." He dug his paw in deeper, Lugia growls in pain and fury.
"Remember your place." Elementroar hisses, steam and smoke simultenously seeping from between his clenched teeth.
"And remember yours!" growls back Lugia.
"Yes, of a God. I'll remember," snickers Elementroar.
*TWACK!*
"RERAGH!" Elementroar nurses a bruised cheek with his paw and turns, growling, towards his attacker and smiles when he sees who it is.
Sam raises her hand to catch the Bonemerang as it returns and it dissipates away when her attack is finished. She stands stoickly and gazes at Elementroar.
"So, you did come out. I thought you had finally collasped within me from exhaustion but I guess I must have underestimated you once again.
"Yeah, you did," Sam says, humouring him as he mentally and physically prepares herself for battle. She tightens her muscles and grit her teeth.
At first, the two powerful beings stare at each other in a standoff for a few moments.
But only for a few moments.
"HYAH!"
"GGRRrrr!"
The two of them race at each other and converge. Elementroar's mouth threatens to engulf Sam as she stops it from crushing her with her hands. A stony paw lashes out viciously at her, leaving dark scores across her right.
Sam retreats back and heals quickly enough to stop the bleeding.
"THUNDER!"
Huge thunderbolts flash out from behind of Elementroar, out of the dark cloud that was his back feet and descend down upon Sam.
Sam rolls to the side.
"Ice Beam!"
A jet of ice shoots at Elementroar's head, hitting him in his slate.
"Flamethrower!"
The battle rages on as Lugia looks on helplessly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Charizard! Up there!" directs Ash, pointing to the top of the human column.
"Chrar!"
Charizard flies up to the top while the rest of the Pokemoners help the lower parts.
"Hey, Tai! Look at that!" shouts Agumon, noticing a bright orange dragon flying towards him.
"Agumon, watch out! He must be attacking us!" warns Tai.
"Charizard, pick up that orange dinosaur thing!"
Charizard dips down and cruises towards Agumon.
"Pepper Br--Oof!" Agumon stops his attack as he is picked up by Charizard's front claws.
"Agumon!" shouts Tai, thinking his friend is being taken away.
Charizard makes a u-turn and flys back to Tai and hovers in front of him.
Ash outstretches his hand towards Tai.
"Come on! Don't you want to be rescued?"
"Pika pii!" nods Pikachu from Ash's head.
'He's...he's...he's trying to rescue me! But...but...that's...that's not right! He's the enemy! The enemy! Why...why...would an enemy help another!?'
Tai suddenly feels a tiny prick in his right ear. He cups his free hand over it and out pops a black microchip into his hand.
Suddenly, he could feel his mind clearing up as if he had been dreaming the whole time.
"Well? Hurry up!" Ash grabs his arm and hauls a dazed Tai up onto Charizard's back.
"Charizard, fly back to the Pokeball! Hurry!" Ash orders.
As Charizard flys across the field, Agumon is not having a good time.
"Oh!" he has his claws up to his eyes, not wanting to see the ground.
"I don't mind flying as Metalgreymon or Wargreymon but not as Agumon! Especially not so high up!" he whimpers and digs his snout further into his claws.
"Get your head out of your claws!" says a gruff voice.
"Huh?" Agumon looks up to see Charizard looking down at him.
"Were you...talking to me?"
Charizard nods, "And I said get your head out of your claws! I hate cowards and weaklings and your one of the worst I've ever seen! Now, be brave and take it or, even if Ash argues, I will drop you!"
'Brave? Courage?'
Suddenly, the Crest of Courage shines on Agumon's forehead and he feels a prick in his right earhole.
"What's this?" Agumon puts a claw to his ear and a small, black microchip falls into his claw.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"TAI!" shouts Sora when she realised there is no more weight on her ankle.
"THEy GOT TAI!"
Suddenly, a large Starmie appears in front of her, freaking her out.
"ARGH!"
"Stop screaming!"
"Who the...?"
Sora looks down to see Misty on the ground, looking up at her.
"Just grab a hold on Starmie. Your loverboy's with Ash."
"TAI IS NOTMY "LOVERBOY"!" shouts back Sora, blushing profusely.
She feels a spark in her ear and out pops a black microchip into her gloved hand.
"Get on the Starmie!" says Misty, in a sing song impatient way.
Sora let's go of Biyomon's leg and climbs onto Starmie.
"SORA!" shouts Biyomon frantically.
"Hold it! I'll have Staryu up that in a---WATCH OUT!" shouts Misty in horror.
Biyomon, in her desperation, let's go of Matt's shirt and tumbles down.
"BIYOMON!" screams Sora, nearly knocking herself off Starmie.
"Staryu! Catch her!" directed Misty.
But Staryu cannot reach her in time and Biyomon hits---
"Psy?" queried Psyduck as Biyomon lands right into his short arms.
"Hel-lo." says Biyomon, unsure of exactly what happened.
"Psyduck! You saved her!" shouts Misty, happy for once that her "wild" Psyduck had come out of his Pokeball without being called.
"SAVED me!? Why, thank you!" shouts Biyomon estactically and pecks him on the beak as a birdkiss.
"Ppsssyyyy..." Psyduck blushes, turning all red.
"Hee hee! You're cute!"
Biyomon feels a spark in her ear and puts a wing to her right earhole. A black microchip is her feathers.
"What's this?"
"PSYDUCK, IF YOU'RE QUITE FINISHED, GET BACK TO THE POKEBALL!" screams Misty, turning to "Misty Beserk mode", complete with a vein throbbing in her temple.
"PSY!? PSY PSY PSY!" shouts Psyduck, running around in fright from his master.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Onix! GO!"
"CHHEEROOGG!" roars the gigantic Rock snake as it became an instant stairway for it's master.
Brock runs up along Onix's back to the top of column, which is now made of Matt and T.K.
"T.K watch out! One of them is coming this way!"
"Hello! I'm Brock and I'm here to save you...um...whoever you guys are anyway!"
Brock tries to pick up T.K. and Patamon but Patamon glares at him angrily.
"HEY! Get away! Boom Bubble!"
A powerful force of air pressure hits Brock in the chest and nearly tipping him over off Onix. Thankfully, Geodude is there and supporst Brock from behind.
"What was that for?" asks Brock, bemused and shaken.
"You get away from T.K, you, you...!" threatens Patamon.
"What? I haven't done anything at all to you guys! Hell, we just met for crying out loud!" remarks Brock, though he is rarely angry, he's a bit pissed off that the Digimoner's aren't appreciating his efforts.
"Yeah, well..." starts Patamon, pouting but can't seem to finish his sentence.
Suddenly, Brock, Patamon and Matt become aware of a sobbing sound coming from T.K.
"T.K?" Matt looks up at his younger brother worriedly.
T.K. looks up with tears in his eyes and sobbing,"He's...he's right! They haven't done anything! They haven't done anything at all! This isn't...isn't even the Digital World and we don't know where we are and I...I just want to go home!"
"T.K..." says Patamon sadly.
Brock smiles brightly and once again, outstretches his hand. T.K. looks at him.
"If you come with us, maybe we can help you find your way home."
"Really?"
Suddenly, Patamon becomes hostile again.
"Wait! It's probably a trap to get T.K. No way, don't go T.K!"
But T.K. seems to eye the outstretched hand with promise. He looks up at Brock and giggles.
"Hey, Brock! Why don't you open your eyes more?"
"Hm? Oh, I, guess," Brock, taken aback by the question, puts his hand to the back of his head.
"T.K, go with him."
"Matt?" asks T.K, looking down at his brother.
"Go. Let go of me and go!"
"Matt,"
T.K unwraps his hands around Matt's neck and grabs Brock's arm.
"Ally-oop!"
Brock pulls T.K up onto Onix with Patamon still on his back.
As T.K steps the thresold of air between the human column and safety, a buzz in his ear causes him to instinctively place his hand over his ear.
"Hey, what's this?" T.K opens his hand to see a tiny microchip in his palm.
"Hey! Ouch! T.K!"
"Patamon?" T.K looks down on his partner to see his right ear twitching.
"There's something in my ear and I...can't...get...it..."
Patamon flaps his ear until a black flea-like thing drops out. T.K bends down and grabs the thing before it rolls off Onix.
"It's another one of those things!" T.K exclaims, placing the black microchip alongside his own.
"T.K, you alright?" shouts Matt, looking over his shoulder, back at his younger brother.
"It's okay, Matt! This guy won't hurt us! I know he doesn't! He wants to help!" T.K tries to asure his brother.
"Well, okay. Wait a moment! I'm going over."
Matt starts to let go but as Gabumon feels the loss of Matt's grip on his fur and tail, he panics.
"Matt! Matt! What's going on? ARGH!"
In his anxiety, Gabumon loses his grip on Izzy and is blown up by the still turning twister, with Matt.
"GEODUDE! GO GET THEM!"
"Geodude!" affirmed the Rock Pokemon, flying up to the Digimon.
"Oof!"
Geodude manages to stop Gabumon's journey from the back but cannot reach Matt in time.
"MATT!" shouts Gabumon in horror as he sees his best friend hurtling in the sky.
"Misty!" Brock yells to the Cereluen (forgive spelling) gymleader.
"Right! Staryu! Go up there and save him!"
"Ha!" Staryu flys up to Matt and goes below his hands.
Matt grabs hold of Staryu as Staryu pulls him down to Brock and his younger brother.
"Matt! Matt! Are you okay?" shouts T.K, running to his brother who is still recovering from the shock he had.
"Yeah, yeah I'm okay." Matt nods and stands up and turns to Gabumon.
"Gabumon, don't you think you can have a better grip?" he says and smiles.
"Yeah, I guess I have to work on my grip," replys Gabumon, smiling and laughing all the same.
Suddenly, both of them feel a buzz in their ears and from each of their right ears, the mysterious black microchip falls out onto their palms.
"Hey, what's this thing?" Matt queries.
"Matt, we have them too!" T.K shows the two microchips he have to his brother.
"Wierd."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Izzy, I believe Matt, Gabumon and just about everyone else behind us are gone!"
"Really? ARGH!"
Izzy screams as he sees the huge head of Brock's Onix peering at him.
"Relax, Izzy! They're here to rescue us!" shouts Matt, waving his hand for Izzy to see.
"Rescue us? THAT THING IS GOING TO EAT ME!" screams Izzy in horror as Onix opens his mouth just slightly.
"Um, we don't have any more room on this thing's head so it's going to pick you up in it's mouth," replies Matt sheepishly.
"IN IT'S MOUTH?!?!?!? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL WAAARRGHGH!"
Onix bends forward grabs Izzy by the collar and slowly lifts him up and away.
"Er er er...er.e.er..."
Izzy is positively shaking with fright and his face is frozen in horror as Onix carries him over to the Pokeball, quite far away.
"Now, Izzy, just calm down. We're getting very close to the edge of the field and I'm sure we will be put down soon." Tentomon tries to comfort his partner.
"Put...down...?" Izzy trembles as he brain computes the other meaning of the word.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Well, what do you think?"
"I don't know. What do you think Meowth?"
The infamous Team Rocket turns to their feline companion who is also deep in thought.
"Hmmm..."
"Should we join the twerps in their little rescue operation?" asks James, saying the question on the three's minds.
"Well, the twerps are always doing stuff for good..." continues Meowth, still deep in thought.
"But we don't do good!" protests James.
"That's right! Team Rocket only does evil for evil's sake!"
"Of course we won't being rescuing them for good,"
"What do you have in mind?" asks Jessie, she and James moving closer to the crafty Stratchcat.
"Those seem to be mighty rare Pokemon up there," Meowth commented slyly, looking up at the column.
"He's right! We've never seen any like them before!" James added.
"And if we get them," Jessie added on, catching on to what Meowth is planning.
"The Boss will be happy," Meowth says with a smile.
"And we will get a raise!"
"And a promotion!" exclaims James and Jessie excitedly, with stars in their eyes.
"We help the twerps to rescue those other guys and when they think we're good and all," Jessie continues happily.
"When they're not looking," continues James.
"We SWIPE them!" finishes Meowth with a swipe of his paw for dramatic effect.
"Meowth, you're a genius!"
"I know, I know!" nods Meowth, delighted that the pitiful humans are awed by his superior intellect.
"Well, let's go then!" shouts James, taking out his Pokeballs.
"Yes, I think the twerps have already rescued most of the others,"
"Yeah! And if we don't hurry, there won't be anyone to save so let's get MOVING!"
And so the infamous trio race off to "save the day" indefinitely.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"ARGH!" screams Joe, relising that he is among the few left behind.
"Don't worry Joe! I'm sure they're come back for us!" Gomamon tries to comfort his exasperated partner.
"ARGH! We don't know that! Maybe they left us after all!" Joe continues to scream and thrash about in fright and anxiety.
"Victreebel! Go!" orders James, his plant Pokemon appearing out of its Pokeball
"Oof! Hey! Let go! Don't EAT me!" James muffled voice can be heard as he struggles to get out of his Victreebel's mouth.
"James, hurry up and stop playing around!" barks Jessie irritably.
James finally manages to get his head out of his Victreebel.
"Victreebel, Vine Whip that boy!" orders James, pointing to Joe.
"M..m..m..me?" squeaks Joe meekly, as he sees the green vine shoot at him.
"ARGH! GET THIS THING OFFA ME!!!!!" Joe screams hysterically as Victreebel wraps it vines around him.
"JOE!" Gomamon is alerted by his friend's crys.
"Hyaf!"
"SSSSAARRRR!" Victreebel shrieks in pain as Gomamon bites onto his vine and retracts his vine.
"You get away from him!"
"Hey! Don't you want to be rescued?" says James in slight anger.
"Rescued? Why should we trust you at all?" Gomamon asks with suspicsion.
"Well, it's either you get saved by us or you can wait for that Pokemon," James points to Elementroar,"To come and finish you off! So, choose!"
Joe gulps along with Gomamon. They face each other and nod.
"Alright, we'll go along with it." agrees Joe, voice shaking slightly.
"Okay. Victreebel, use your Vine Whip again!"
Victreebel wraps it's vines around Joe once more, this time with no protest (though Joe keeps squirming around) and brings him safely across the twister to safety outside.
"Joe, is it okay?" asks Gomamon.
"Yeah! The thing is going to rescue you now!" shouts back Joe.
Suddenly, he feels a weird sensation in his right ear and cups his hand over it. The mysterious black microchip drops into his palm.
'A microchip?' wonders Joe, staring at the chip.
Just then, Gomamon comes across the threshold and is placed beside Joe.
"Gomamon!"
"Hey, Joe! Look at what I got when I was lifted over here!" Gomamon reaches behind to the fur along his back, searching for whatever he wanted to show Joe.
"Hm? Oh, it must have fell out! Flippers aren't good for holding things."
"Was it this thing?" asks Joe, showing the black microchip he had.
"Yeah! That's the one! You had it too? Did it just pop out of your ear?"
"Yeah. I wonder what it is?" Joe stares at the thing in his hand once again, curious as to what it could be.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Lickitung, GO!" Jessie barks orders to her long tongue, pink and overall strange looking Pokemon.
"Licki!"
The Lickitung wrounds it's tongue around Mimi, the last Digi-destined left.
"YYEEEUUUUWWWW! GET THIS DISGUSTING THING AWAY!" shrieks Mimi, absolutely horrified by Lickitung's slimy tongue around her (who wouldn't?).
"Licki!" Lickitung unwrounds it's tongue and licks Mimi, paralyzing her for a moment.
"Mimi!" shouts Palmon in alarm as Mimi is carried across to Team Rocket by Lickitung's tongue.
"Er...er..." Mimi trembles uncontrollably from Lickitung's lick as she is set on the ground.
"Mimi!"
Having her left hand free, Palmon sends out her Poison Ivys at Lickitung's tongue and wraps her vines around it.
"LICKI!"
In alarm, Lickitung pulls in it's tongue, with Palmon.
"ARGH!" screams Palmon as the pink behemoth swallows her whole.
"Let...me...OUT OF THIS THING!" Palmon's muffled voice can be heard and her punches as well as she struggles to get out of Lickitung's mouth.
"Lickitung, spit!" Jessie orders.
"Oof!"
Palmon rolls on the ground as Lickitung desposits her and rolls to Mimi's side, all covered with saliva and slime and generally, not happy.
"YUCK! This is so gross!" exclaims Palmon, looking at herself in disbelief as she tries in vain to rub the saliva off.
Mimi finally snaps out of the paralysis and shrieks again.
"I NEVER EVER WANT THAT GROSS, DISGUSTING AND SICKENING THING NEAR ME AAAAGGGGAAAAIIINNNN!!!!"
"Oh, shut up, you little twerp!"
"What?" asks Mimi, in tears of fright already, looking up at an angry looking Jessie.
"I can't believe this! We save you from certain death and all you can do is wail around like some spoilt brat?!!?!" snaps Jessie, a frown on her forehead as she speaks.
"Save...me?" Mimi's voice quivers.
Palmon and Mimi turns to Lickitung, Mimi's is bowed humbly.
"Well, I guess you did save us. Thanks." says Palmon after a moment of silence.
"Yeah...thank you too! I guess you're...not so disgusting after all! In fact, you look kind of cute! I guess I was too harsh just now." comments Mimi, looking up as well.
"Licki!" says Lickitung and blushes at the compliment, turning a deeper shade of pink.
"Oh my! That is a wonderful shade of pink!" claps her hands in delight.
Upon clapping, she feels a buzz in her ear and a black thing drops out.
"Oh! What's this?" she wonders, picking up the black microchip.
"Mimi! I have one too!" Palmon holds out her hand, revealing an identical microchip.
"Jessie, let's go! I don't think it's very safe here!" James warns, looking up in fright at the battling Elementroar and Sam.
"All right! Come on...Mimi was it? Anyway, get up! We have to hurry!" Jessie pulls Mimi up and starts to run back to the Pokeball.
"Lickitung, return!" Jessie says, the beam of red light threading from her Pokeball.
"Victreebel, return!" James does likewise.
"Hey, wait up! *Huff huff puff puff*" Joe weezes as he struggles to keep up.
"Come on, Joe! We'll behind!" eggs on Gomamon from Joe's back.
"Mimi! Wait for me!" Palmon shouts, running along with her partner.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"AARGGHHH-GUK!"
Sam falls from the air and slides across the hard, dirt ground, sent backwards by an enormous power. She carves ditches into the ground as she is pushed relentlessly onwards until at last slamming into a tree, digging a hollow indention into it and nearly splitting it completely in half.
Her mind and body are filled with pain. Her back is on fire with aches, sores and part of the skin on her back has come of, leaving raw red flesh, now vulnerable under her clothes. She daren't stand up. Her legs are either numb or simply in too much pain and she feels as if her ribs, back and arms are broken which may very well be the case. Bruises are littered everywhere on her body and God knows how much she is bleeding. One of her eyes is completely unable to open and there are large gashes over her left arm and one down her right thigh. Sweat is beaded on her forehead from her battling with Elementroar, and stings her wounds on her face.
Elementroar lands onto the ground some distance from Sam and makes a single giant leap, arcs in the air and lands right in front of Sam, sending dust and dirt flying at her, stinging her eyes and worsening her open wounds.
"What,"
Elementroar uses his psychic powers to force Sam's drooping head to look up at him.
"Were you thinking?" Elementroar growls as he glares at her through his unseen eyes
Sam winces as he hot breath wafts onto her face.
"That you...were wrong," Sam gasps out, breathing made difficult from her injured throat.
"Wrong?" Elementroar looks at her and then grins, showing his glinting teeth.
"Wrong?" he asks again, in disbelief that there was any such thing.
"Wrong you say. Weren't you the one who was massacrering them till they nearly died and even drove some to tears? Wasn't it you who was bent on destroying them in the first place? Wasn't you the one who summoned me for the sole intent on eliminating them, the threat? And now, when I'm simply continuing your glorious work, you say I'm wrong?"
Elementroar uses his paw to push up Sam's head, the jagged edges of his rock paw grazing into her flesh.
Sam gazes weakly at Elementroar with her last good eye and sputters and gasps as she rasps, "I...will not deny my...responsibilty for their...suffering...I...admit...I was wrong. But...that doesn't mean...I cannot try to right it..."
Elementroar curls in his paw until his dark, ebony claws pierce painfully in her cheek, "Since you say you were so wrong then,"
"Would it be wrong for me to kill you now in repent?"
Sam doesn't blink nor makes any movement as she stares at Elementroar. Elementroar drops his paw from her face and raises it in the air, it's ebony claws spread out in full glory.
Sam rolls her head down, knowing death is coming to her in a few short moments. She will not resist nor will she regret that she dies. More, she will regret she ever got the others into this trouble, from which they too will die.
Tears roll down Sam's face as she awaits the deathblow. She will never cry for herself, for whatever she gets is only what she deserves. She will cry for others but never herself.
"Pepper Breath!"
"Charizard, Flamethrower!"
"Bulbasaur, Solar Beam!"
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
"Posion Ivy!"
"Marching Fishes!"
"Staryu, Water Gun!"
"Starmie, Bubblebeam!"
"Blue Blaster!"
"Boom Bubble!"
"Spiral Twister!"
"Onix, Geodude, Rock Throw!"
"GRAAA ARRGGG GRAARGGHH!"
Elementroar is thrown to side as the combined attacks hit him on his left side, stopping his termination of Sam. Sam dazedly glances to the left side and sees the Pokeball, along with the other children. Then, she feels two pair of hands grabbing her on the shoulders and pulling her to her feet and leading her somewhere. In a blur, she could see a large blotch of red to her right and a smaller blotch of blue to her left. Also, she thinks she spots a fairly large blotch of brown guiding her feet but then she blanks out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As Team Rocket hurriedly brings Sam to safety, Ash and co. as well as the Digimoners continue their assault on Elementroar, now completely concealed in a cloud of dust from the attacks.
"All RIGHT! We got him!" exclaims an estatic Tai, cheering on his Digital friends as well as his new ones.
"If you ask me, we shouldn't helping these people!"
"Hey! Who said that?" says Tai, turning around, only to see Izzy, glaring at him.
"I said we shouldn't be helping them!"
"What? Why NOT!?!" shouts back Tai, glaring right back at Izzy.
"Why should we? They're the bad guys!"
"What bad guys? What the heck are you babbling about?!?! Is there finally something wrong in your head Izzy?!?!" retorts back Tai, stepping closer to Izzy.
"Just now, we were all trying to KILL them and suddenly, you guys are HELPING them! We SHOULD be trying to kill them right NOW!"
"WHAT?!?!? ARE YOU NUTS OR SOMETHING!?!??" Tai grabs Izzy by the collar and stares at him in the eyes.
"Hey, settle down you too!" advises Brock, seperating them and being peacemaker.
"GET YOUR HANDS OF ME!!!" Izzy suddenly screams as Brock touches him.
"IZZY! SUPER SHOCKER!"
Tentomon fires a bolt of electricity at poor, unsuspecting Brock.
"AHHH!" Brock collaspes from the shock and Misty and Ash run beside him.
"Izzy! What's wrong with you!?" a confused Matt asks.
All the rest of the Digi-destined surround him in a circle, all concerned with their friend.
"What's wrong with me?!?! What's wrong with YOU!!!!" shoots back Izzy hysterically, eyes wide and bulging as if in fear and anger as he glances furvitively from face to face.
"Izzy, are you feeling alright?" asks Sora concernedly, placing a hand on Izzy's shoulder.
"ARGH!" Izzy swings back his arm and causes Sora to be pushed backwards onto the ground.
"Hey! What's with you?" Sora glares angrily at Izzy as Joe helps her to her feet.
"Matt!" Tai turns to Matt."Right!" Matt nods back.
Together, they pounce at Izzy and pin him to the ground.
"IZZY! HEY! What the?" Tentomon is about to shock Tai and Matt away from Izzy when he is suddenly wrapped in strong green vines.
"Bulba-SAUR!" calls Bulbasaur as he pulls back on his vines to restrain Tentomon.
"Let me go! SUPER ARGGHH!"
"PIIIKKKAAA--CCCHHHUU"Pikachu uses a Thundershocks Tentomon and shocks him unconscious.
"Wow! That was neat!" comments Biyomon.
"Chaaaa!" says Pikachu in embarrassment.
"Cool it, Izzy!" Matt and Tai try to desperately keep the fanatic Izzy pinned but he struggles furiously and refuses to give up.
"LET GO OF ME!!!"
"What's wrong with him?" Joe kneels down beside Izzy and studies him.
"Who knows." Sora sits down on Izzy's other side.
"And why does he keep screaming about 'killing the enemy' for?" asks Mimi.
"Because that was what you were doing to Sam during that big battle just now!" answers Ash.
He approaches the Digimoners as Misty tends to Brock.
"We? Us?" says Joe in disbelief.
"Yeah! Don't you remember?"
"Come to think of it, I kindof remember but it's like a memory when I was three years old or something," says Sora, thinking long and hard.
"Yeah, me too,"
"And me!"
"That's weird. All of us can remember we did fight but why did we?" wonders Matt.
"Matt! Matt! I remember!" shouts T.K, running to his older brother and waving his right hand at the same time.
"Remember? You and me stop wanting to fight when these things came out of our ears!" T.K opens his hand to reveal the black microchip.
"Hey!" Tai searches his pocket,"I have that too!"
"And me!" Sora pinches an identical microchip between her fingers.
"And me!"
"Me too!"
"And me too, T.K!" Patamon pats beside T.K, holding a black microchip in his mouth.
"Agumon! You had that thing too, right?"
"Yeah, Tai!"
"You too, right Gabumon?" asks Matt, turning to his Digimon partner.
Gabumon nods.
"All of us and our Digimon had this thing in our ears," says Joe.
Tai bends down to Izzy, holding the black microhip between his index finger and thumb and showing it clearly to Izzy.
"See, Izzy. See this? This microchip is controlling you and Tentomon right now!"
"Wha…what?" gasps Izzy, a black microchip finally falling out his ear.
Matt grabs it and stands up. Tai follows suit and both of them help Izzy to his feet after being crushed by them. Matt hands him the microchip.
"Interesting! A mind-controlling microchip? Amazing! I have to study this later!" Izzy comments examing the microchip with a keen eye.
"Yup! That's Izzy alright!"
"By the way, where's Tentomon?" asks Izzy.
Sora points to behind him and Izzy turns to see a charred looking, unconscious Tentomon bound up in Bulbasaur's vines.
"Bulbasuar! Let go of him." says Ash .
Tentomon falls to the ground as the Vine Whips are retracted.
"Tentomon! Hey, Tentomon! Can you wake up?"
"Ooohhh! My head...Izzy? Izzy, is that you? Did those guys hurt you?"
"Calm down Tentomon! No, they didn't hurt me, but first look at this," Izzy holds up the microchip close to Tentomon's segmented eyes.
"What is that, Izzy? A black microchip?"
"Not only that, but a mind-controlling device! We all had it in our ears including you. But you still have it! This things controlling you right now, Tentomon! We don't have to fight these guys!"
"Mind...control?" murmurs Tentomon in a daze, as the infamous black microchip falls from behind his head.
"I was wondering how a microchip could fit in his ear." remarks Tai.
"Um...guys, where's Elementroar?" asks Misty worriedly.
"What do you mean 'where's Elementroar'?" replys Joe, trembling as the realisation sinks in.
"Oh heck, nobody was watching him?!?!?" screams Tai in alarm, turning hysterical.
"Well, you could have been watching him yourself, Mister quarterback!" shouts back Sora, angrily.
"I don't like this," remarks Brock in an uneasy tone, looking around furtively.
"Where could he be? He couldn't just disappear in thin air!" Tai exclaims again.
"Shhh! We'll never be able to hear him if you guys keep talking that loud!" scolds Misty.
Everyone becomes silent and listen. But no matter how hard they try, they can only hear background sounds of the grass rustling and the wind blowing. Lumps form in almost everyone's throat, sweat beads on their foreheads and paranoi is so gripping, that they feel they could choke. Team Rocket hug each other in pure fear and shiver at every sound or gust of wind.
Everyone is uneasy and frightened, all except Sam. Perhaps she is too dazed and weak or perhaps she had gotten wise enough to not let fear cloud her judgement though it's hard to not be scared, seeing as you are the most helpless.
'I can't be afraid, not now! Not when everyone needs help!' she painfully forces herself to not lapse into dangerous sleep and concetrates hard on her mark.
'Detect. Help me find him. Help me find Elementroar.'
Her mark glows brown faintly at first and then fades but returns stronger and stronger each time.
'Mark, don't fail me now! Help me find him.'
Her marks shines in a great bright light.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sweeping across the meadows, plains, cities, mountains, lakes, rivers,'
'Where is he? Show me.'
Flying up a great mountain, higher and higher and finally over, down and down. And then across a great field, a familiar one.
'Where? Tell me please!'
Across the field to a group of children.
'We're here, we have come here. But where is Elementroar?'
The great beast, holy and dark, preys on the children in front of him,
'I know that! Reveal him to me!'
A young boy screams as he is taken.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'There' Sam gasps, jerking out of her concetration.
"T.K! In front of you! He's THERE!" screams Sam, pulling herself up dangerouly fast and collapsing again under the strain.
"RRWWWAAARGGHH!" Elementroar appears and slams a giant paw at T.K.
"WATCH OUT!" Brock dives and pushes T.K out of the way just in time as the paw crashes into the ground, breaking it apart.
"Agumon!"
"Right! Pepper Breath!"
A ball of flame hits Elementroar in the throat as he rears again but it dissipates insignificantly.
"You think that will stop me?"
Dozens of vines shoot from behind him and streak towards Tai and Agumon.
"AH!"
Just then, Palmon and Bulbasaur use there own vines to pull Tai and Agumon back out of danger. Elementroar's Vine Whips dig into the ground like spears with such force, that large clouds of dust burst up from the impact.
"What were you trying to do, you hotheads!?!?!? Giving yourself a good view before going to Hel!?!?!? You guys are almost as bad as Ash!!!!" screams Misty, cowering Agumon and Tai.
"You will pay!"
Elementroar comebacks with a huge Fire Blast which is simply impossible for them to avoid.
"Protect!"
The Fire Blast miraculously flys to the side of them and into the sky, dissipating harmlessly.
"What?" roars Elementroar in blistering rage and fury, stomping the ground till all plants below him die.
"Sam? Hey, don't move!" Mimi supports Sam as she limps painfully to the front, her left arm raised and her mark still glowing from being used recently.
Sam had Healed a bit of her wounds, mostly the bleeding, though the majority is still plaguing her body in endless onslaughts of pain.
"So, you find yourself still fit to help these traitors and fools."
"Can't be, beause I only see one traitor and fool and he is in front of me and talking to me right now," she retorts, limping till she is in front of all the rest and thus the closests to Elementroar, who is giving her a very ugly look.
"You'll die NOW!"
Elementroar Fire Blasts and Fire Blasts and for the fifth time, stops.
"You have attacked me five times and still you have not gone through me,"
"You cannot keep Protecting them forever. Fire Blast!"
Sam raises her arm to use Protect again but in horror, her mark does not glow and fades to her normal skin colour.
She watches in horror as the fire inferno shoots towards her.
Suddenly, a large streak of bright orange flys in front of her and faces the oncoming Blast.
"CCHHHHAAARRRGGG!" cries out Charizard as he desperately uses his claws to deflect the Blast like he did with Blaine's Magmar but the unmatchable fire breaks through and blasts around Charizard.
"...Char..." Charizard topples to the ground, black from singing, badly injured and his tail flame is merely a tiny candle flame.
"CHARIZARD!" cries Ash, as he rushes to his fiery partner's side.
"What? What...happened?" says Sam in shock, looking at her mark as if to see whether anything looked remotely wrong with it.
"HA HA HA Grrr! You idiot! Just think for a moment, will you! If the Summoner had so much power alone in her mark, why should she summoned a creature that has the exact same powers?"
"Because...it's stronger,"
"THAT and the fact that no matter what, the Summoner herself is still bound by the laws that binds all Pokemon. She cannot use the same attacks forever because eventually, her mark loses the "ammo" to use it anymore, just like a normal Pokemon! The summoned creature, however, is beyond those laws."
Sam stares in uppermost shock and looks like cumbles to her knees on the ground as she struck by this fact.
"And now, I will show you the only move that no other Pokemon can use, not even you Summoner. It is the most devastating and powerful attack of them all and there is nothing in this whole world that can stop it! I think it's fitting to use this to destroy you, almost symbolic and ironic I would say."
As he speaks, his Hydro Cannons raise themselves up from his back and swivel to face the children. His wings spread out to their full wingspan. His vine tail is poised like the tail of the scorpian, it's serrated teeth gleeming in the sunlight. The poisonous gas clouds that are his back feet roll and boil as if in fury and haunting sounds can be heard from within the clouds. The lightning bolts flash even greater and scorch the nearby ground and the roars of thunder are louder than before. His front paws flex impatiently, gripping the ground and leaving scores through them. His purple medallion shines bright purple along the lines that made up the eye on it. His maul is open wide and pure fire energy twirls and spirals in it continously. The icy blue plate on his head gleems and shines a brighter blue as time passes.
"Oh shit!" shouts Matt, backing away.
"Let's get out of here!" screams Joe and runs quickly away and slams into an invisible wall.
"Oh! What the...?" winces Joe.
"Elementroar has put a Barrier around us, without me knowing." Sam observes and slumps even more to the ground till she has to put her palms on the ground to support herself.
"This is all my fault. If I never had summoned Elementroar in the first place, everyone wouldn't have had to suffer in so much pain. This is all my fault," tears well up in Sam's eyes.
"You will all pay now, you little disgusting creatures!" sneers Elementroar as energy builds up in his frame.
*Summoner*
"Who?"
*Ugh! Summoner, do not give up hope*
Sam looks in the direction of Lugia and the Legendary Birds and Dogs and sees Lugia looking at her intently.
*We cannot help you but hear this, if you are to die make your death a worthy one. Stand up and fight!*
"I can't! Don't you get it? I'm worthless! I make everyone else suffer and I might as well die right here so that noone can suffer anymore!" Sam pounds the ground in anger at herself, making them raw and blistered.
*Why do you always push all the blame to yourself and intrust the responsiblity to yourself? You cannot be responsible for everyone's fate, Summoner. Only your own. If you do not find yourself worthy to fight for, then do it for the rest of them*
'For them?'
Sam rises to her feet slowly and raises her left arm.
"You still wish to fight? HA! Let me tell you Summoner, there is nothing you can do that can even MATCH the attack I am preforming!"
"Why is that?"
"Hmf! I see no danger. This attack combines the power of all the Pokemon types in a single blow, there is nothing to defeat it.
"I'll just use every single attack as well then to fight you!"
"You idiot! Do you think so? HA! Let me tell you, in order to even TRY to duplicate this attack, you must use every single move at one time. Have you ever heard of a Pokemon that can even perform TWO attacks at one go? You are still bound by the Pokemon rules, just trying will rack your body within an inch of death and make you too weak to even stand!"
"I'm going to die anyway. That's nothing to stop me trying." Sam replies coolly, opening her palm and concetrating to the fullest.
"Sam, don't! You heard him, you'll die!" protests T.K, staring up at her.
"Do me a favour, T.K. Go back to the others and tell them to go as far back as possible from here and also...tell them I'm sorry."
T.K looks up Sam worriedly and says, "Sam, it isn't your fault."
Sam smiles, "Thank you, now go!"
T.K runs back to the others and though most of them refuse to desert Sam like that, several personal urges from Sam force them back.
"Are you ready to die?"
"Everyone should be everyday of their lives."
"Then, I'll !"
He flaps his wings hard, fire takes form in his mouth, solar energy wells up in the toothed mouth of his tail, lightning shoot out violently and thunder rolls louder than even the stormest of the days, ghosts, cry out in anger and sorrow, his medallion glows to its brightest, the air above his ice slate becomes subzero frost, his Hydro Cannons make a charging up sound as the pressure builds inside them and Elementroar rears up to his full height, his front paws slashing through the air as he roars.
"ELEMENTAL BLAST!"
Elementroar stomps the ground, breaking it apart and sending a massive shockwave tearing through the ground towards Sam as he blows a huge blast of fire from his mouth, a powerful psionic beam from his medallion, a freezing ice beam from his slate, a pure hurricane with his wings, a almighty Solar Beam from his vine tail, massive lightning bolts shoot towards Sam, ghostly specters with hollow eyes and accursed claws rake the air as they advance towards Sam, wailing and crying in anger and sorrow, poison gas clouds waft quickly towards her and the Hydro Cannons pump out water streams at the highest pressure at Sam.
Facing the oncoming combined attacks, Sam closes her eyes and uses her other arm to support it and concetrates.
"Uh! Come on!"
Her left arm becomes rigid and soon, what looks like multi-coloured electricity sparks from her hands.
But suddenly, her arm jerks as if in a spasm and becomes so strained that the veins can be clearly seen. The entire turns white from stress and pain and Sam furrows her brows and sweat starts to form on her forehead, neck and back. She bites her lower lip to keep from screaming and tears start to roll down her face.
The 'electricity' quickly forms into a giant ball of multi-coloured energy and grows bigger and bigger in front of her till her sight of Elementroar is nearly completely obscured.
But the searing pain is too much to bear, to keep inside for too long.
"AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!"
But with that outburst, the engery ball grows stronger and glows with a light so bright, Sam has to keep her eyes shut or be blinded.
Finally, Elementroar's Elemental Blast reaches it's target.
Though the attack never left her hand, it detonates itself and Elementroar's attack around Sam, throwing up dust and dirt, remisicient of a small nuclear bomb and such. Sam feels the ground break up and fly up from beneath her feet but strangely enough, besides that, she feels nothing else strike her. Perhaps she is in too much pain to feel anymore or maybe she is already dead and is a soul leaving her body. She never believed in the afterlife, no Heaven but maybe a Hell. Maybe that's where she is going, did she deserve it? Yes, she did. At least, she would not become a wondering ghost, her last wish is granted. The attack never went through her, it never reached the others. True, Elementroar will simply kill them now, but her wish is granted and she would repay their deaths by suffering in Hell if the case might be.
"SAM!" screams the others, seeing Sam sacrifice herself before the attack.
"SAM AAARRHHH!!!!"
Even if they want to do anything, they cannot. As a bright, white light from Elementroar's attack or from some greater force, shines and encompasses everyone and everything in the vicinty. The children and Digimon shield their eyes or turn away, as the sphere of light that nearly rivals the sun expands and holds everything in it's light.
