Ch.9: The Portal Gate

Ken and Davis couldn't believe Diaboromon ran away. They were puzzled. He had the upper hand, so why did he run away. Garogomon and Turuiemon were getting out of the rubble with Willis, Ken, Davis, and Imperialdramon lifting it up and off them.

"I wonder what Diaboromon is planning," Willis said, "He doesn't usually run away unless he has something very important to do."

"I don't know what he's planning, but I'll be ready for him next time," Imperialdramon said.

Meanwhile in Tokyo, the four digidestined were waiting for the army to charge out of the portal. Then finally the army was coming. The army was made of DemiDevimon, SkullSatamon, Devimon, LadyDevimon, and MarineDevimon. The digidestined were ready. There plan of action was to wait until the evil digimon got close enough, then attack with all they got and hope the others arrive. Ankylomon deleted some DemiDevimon and Devimon while whirling his "Tail Hammer" around. Aquilamon shot from a large distance at them and above them. A SkullSatamon almost grabbed him, but he dodged fine. MagnaAngemon was sucking a lot of them into his "Destiny Gate", but not all of them were getting sucked in. He also had to slash at a lot of them with his sword. Angewomon was having a tough time too. Her "Celestrial Arrow" attack didn't hold any of the charging digimon back too well. She mainly kept using her "Heavens Charm" attack on all the digimon near her. Minutes later, Aquilamon and Ankylomon can't hold the army of rookies, champions, and ultimates anymore. A SkullSatamon and Devimon hit Aquilamon in the back. Ankylomon was getting beaten up by LadyDevimon's bats and a lot of DemiDevimon. After Aquilamon was hit he tried to get back to the sky, but two MarineDevimon were holding him with their tentacles. Ankylomon then got struck by Devimon's claws. There were too many digimon to hold off. MagnaAngemon and Angewomon were barely holding their posts, they couldn't stop to help their friends.

"Help!" Aquilamon yelled out.

"I need help too!" Ankylomon yelled out.

The two digimon yelled in pain as they knew they would get no help. Suddenly, two glowing circular orbs came down to Yolie and Cody. They realized the orbs belonged to Azulongmon. They aimed the orbs at their digivices and a light went around Ankylomon and Aquilamon!

"Aquilamon, digivolve to…. Silphymon!"

"Ankylomon, digivolve to…. Shakkoumon!"

Silphymon used his "Static Force" on a SkullSatamon and some of the digimon army. They disintegrated in a flash. Shakkoumon shot his "Kachina Bomb" attack at the evil digimon and they were gone, but there were still more. Shakkoumon used his "Kachina Laser" attack on a LadyDevimon. She exploded in a boom!

"Go Shakkoumon!" Cody said.

"You can do it Silphymon!" Yolie said.

T.K. and Kari's crests glowed and it gave energy to their two digimon. The two digimon shot a gigantic laser at the digimon army and they disintegrated. There weren't many digimon left from the army, but a digimon came from the smoke. It was Anubismon!

"Anubismon, a mega digimon! He's a digimon copy of the Egyptian God Anubis! His "Pyramid Power" attack uses the power of the pyramids of Egypt and fires it in a great ball of energy!" Shakkoumon said.

"Before you die, I'm going to give you as much pain as possible!" Anubismon said.

"Then come on!" Angewomon said.

Angewomon and Silphymon shot their attacks, but he moved at super speed and got behind them and hit them in their spines. They fell to the ground and de-digivolved. MagnaAngemon tried stabbing him with his sword, but was being choked to death.

"I am the God of death so I determine who lives and dies by what Diaboromon says!" Anubismon said.

"You general are all the same!" Shakkoumon said.

"I'm one of his strongest!" Anubismon yelled.

Anubismon shot a giant laser that shot towards Shakkoumon and hit him. The beam didn't go away afterwards. It kept going. Shakkoumon yelled in pain as it was making him disintegrate.

"Noooooo!" Cody yelled out.

The picture of Azulongmon's orb was in Cody's digivice. It shot to Shakkoumon and MagnaAngemon.

"Shakkoumon, digivolve to…. Vikemon!"

"MagnaAngemon, digivolve to…. Seraphimon!"

"Vikemon, the mega form of Armadillomon! He's a giant walrus with two maces on his back! His Viking Axe and Arctic Blizzard attacks hit an enemy with incredible force!" Angewomon said.

"Seraphimon, a mega leveled angel digimon! His eight wings make him a pretty fast digimon to deal with! His Seven Heavens attack calls on all light of heaven!" Silphymon said.

Seraphimon shot a blast of light at Anubismon who blocked it. Vikemon tried to hit him with his fist, but Anubismon dodged his punch and flew to the sky. Seraphimon rammed him to the ground and Vikemon kneed him in the chest as he came down. Anubismon shot his "Pyramid Power" attack at both of them, but they got out of the way in time. Vikemon froze him with his "Arctic Blizzard" attack and Seraphimon's "Seven Heavens" made Anubismon explode. After Anubismon blew up, a portal appeared in his place. The digidestined were sucked in. They appeared at two roads. One of the signs said "to Diaboromon's castle" and the other said to the generals.

"We'd better split up," T.K. said.

"Why?" Yolie said, "We want to go to Diaboromon's castle and defeat him. Why go to his generals?"

"His generals might try to take over the digital world after he does," T.K. replied, "We have to stop them also."

"I agree with T.K.," Kari said.

"Me too," Gatomon said.

"I'll go with T.K.," Cody said.

"And I'll go with Yolie," Kari said.

"We'll need to get moving," Armadillomon said.

The digidestined split up to the road that they were going on. Just then, a new middle sign came out of nowhere saying "to the ruins of Diaboromon". Seconds later from the sky Ken, Davis, Lopmon, Terriermon, Willis, and Imperialdramon came down. They knew Diaboromon wasn't at his castle so they didn't mind that sign, and they didn't want to fight his generals, so they went the path that had the sign saying "to the ruins of Diaboromon". In a couple minutes Kari, Yolie, Gatomon, and Hawkmon had made it to the castle. It looked creepy.

"Looking at that place makes a chill go up my spine," Yolie said.

"I know what you mean," Gatomon said.

"We have to go in anyway," Kari said.

"Then let's get moving," Hawkmon said.

The four of them entered the castle and went to the highest floor. When they got to the top they noticed the hole that lead into another room and the hole leading downwards through the floors. They knew that it had to have been Davis, Ken, and the others fighting Diaboromon. But the castle was completely silent. They guessed the fight ended about half an hour before they got there.

"Doesn't look like anyone is here," Hawkmon said.

"I think they left already," Kari said.

"Let's look around first," Gatomon said.

The group was searching every crack and shadow, but had found nothing. Then they split up. Gatomon was on the top floor, Kari on the ground floor, Yolie on the second floor, and Hawkmon on the third floor. Gatomon looked at a statue and pushed it. It made a tunnel that she slipped down into. It led to a control room after fifteen minutes of sliding down. She knew no one would hear her. She would have to wait.

"It'll be awhile before they find me," Gatomon said.

They all searched for Gatomon, but couldn't find her. They e-mailed the others, but the others were so caught up in finding who they were after that no one answered.

How will the digidestined find Gatomon?! Where are T.K., Patamon, Armadillomon, and Cody going?! Where is Gatomon?! Find out the answers to these questions and more next time on Digimon Digital Monsters!
