Ch.10: T.K. and Cody's Showdown

"So far we haven't seen anything yet," T.K. said, "I'm starting to think that sign was a joke."

"Maybe you're right," Cody said, "I don't see any generals."

"Maybe we should go back," Patamon said, "I think we'll be able to meet back up with the others."

"Good thinking Patamon," T.K. said, "We'll do that."

"I don't think we can do that," Armadillomon said.

"Why?" Cody asked.

"The path has sealed up behind us!" Armadillomon replied, "And I don't think it's going to open back up."

"This was probably a trap," Cody said.

"I agree," Armadillomon said.

"I'm don't think so," T.K. said, "I'm starting to think the sign wasn't a lie."

"Then you're saying the generals are probably just ahead?" Cody asked.

"That's exactly what I'm saying," T.K. replied, "We'd better go on until we get out of here."

The two digidestined and their digimon walked for a couple minutes and ran into a metallic door. The sign beside the door said to find the key to open the door. Another sign said "this way to the key".

"Should we follow it?" Patamon said.

"I recon we should," Armadillomon replied.

The two digidestined and their digimon walked down the path. It led into to a different part of the digital world. A desert! There was a path that went through the desert. They followed it.

"I hope it doesn't take too long to get to the end of this path and find the key," Cody said, "I sure wouldn't want to walk too long in this desert."

After almost an hour the two digidestined and their digimon were getting tired, hungry, and thirsty.

"I'm getting hungry and thirsty," Armadillomon said, "I have to get something to munch on."

"You're not the only one that's hungry," Cody said, "I could sure use a rice ball right about now."

"I can't fly anymore," Patamon said, "I need food."

"I carry you buddy," T.K. said.

T.K. noticed a town far away.

"It's a town!" T.K. said.

"You sure," Armadillomon said.

"Sure as a spider in its web," T.K. said.

"You're starting to sound like Armadillomon," Patamon said.

"You're right!" T.K. said, "I am!"

The group entered the town.

"This place looks familiar," Armadillomon said.

"You're right!" Cody said, "It's the town we saw Starmon in!"

"Maybe he'll let us have some milk like before!" Armadillomon said.

"I don't remember coming here," Patamon said.

"You, T.K., Kari, and Gatomon didn't come with us to the digital world that day," Cody said, "But Sora did."

"Well, let's see if he'll give us something to eat and drink," Armadillomon said, "I can't wait any longer to get food."

"Starmon!" Patamon yelled, "Can we have something to drink!"

"Starmon are you here?!" Cody yelled, "We'd sure like something to eat about now!"

Suddenly, Starmon came out of the sheriff office. Except he was gold!

"Is that you Starmon?" T.K. asked.

"Nope, I've digivolved to SuperStarmon," SuperStarmon said, "And it feels good to be an ultimate."

"SuperStarmon, the digivolved form of Starmon! He's gold and gets glasses when he digivolves and he gets stronger! He's one of the best shooters in the west!" Patamon said.

Cody noticed a dark colored microchip on the left side of SuperStarmon's body.

"SuperStarmon, you have a microchip on your body," Cody said.

"You've noticed! Superstarmon said, "I guess I'll have to destroy you now!

"Why?" Patamon asked.

"I work for Diaboromon!" SuperStarmon said.

"T.K., he's probably being controlled," Cody said, "Let's destroy that microchip!"

"You got it!"

"Digi-armor energize!" Cody said.

"Armadillomon, armor digivolve to…. Digmon the drill of knowledge!"

"Patamon, digivolve to…. Angemon!"

Angemon tried to hit SuperStarmon with his staff, but Superstarmon was too quick! Digmon tried to aim and fire his drills, but SuperStarmon wouldn't stand still.

"You can do it Angemon!" T.K. said.

"Don't let him win Digmon!" Cody said.

SuperStarmon punched Angemon and kicked Digmon back a few feet.

"Oh no!" T.K. said.

"Get back up you two," Cody said.

SuperStarmon took hold of one of Angemon's wings and through him into one of the buildings, which had collapsed after he fell into it. He gave Digmon some punches in the face, the chest, and in the side. He through Digmon over one of the buildings! The two digimon couldn't stand up anymore. Cody and T.K. tried to help their digimon get back up again.

"I haven't had this much fun in many months!" SuperStarmon said.

"Leave us alone," T.K. said.

"No!" SuperStarmon said.

"Don't hurt our digimon anymore than you just did," Cody asked.

"No bargain!" SuperStarmon said, "Unless…."

"Unless what?" T.K. said.

"Unless you get your digimon trained and ready by noon today," SuperStarmon said.

"For what?" Cody asked.

"For a cowboy, gun shooting!" SuperStarmon said, "If they can win then you get milk and food then you can go free."

T.K. and Cody thought for about a minute.

"Is it a deal?" SuperStarmon asked.

"Sure," T.K. said shaking SuperStarmon's hand.

SuperStarmon gave Digmon and Angemon guns that were loaded. T.K. put a rock on a garbage can thirty feet away hoping Angemon could aim and hit it. But his aim was way off. Digmon on the other hand was pretty good. He was so good that it seemed like he'd been practicing all his life. Digmon didn't need to practice anymore. He was good and ready for the shooting, but Angemon wasn't. Digmon had shown Angemon how to aim right. Angemon was still having trouble. Next they had to make Angemon run and shoot at the target at the same time. He was worse than before. They then made the target move. It was so difficult for him. Their next adjustment was to make him and the target move and for him to hit the target. About half an hour before the shooting he mastered it! They were ready.

"Oh and by the way, you two kids have to learn also," SuperStarmon said.

T.K. and Cody couldn't believe they had to learn too. By the time the half an hour was up they mastered it too. Angemon and Digmon decided to let Cody and T.K. have their guns, because Angemon could shoot his "Hand Of Fate" attack from his hand and Digmon could use his "Gold Rush" attack with his drills on his hand. SuperStarmon gave them all a western hat. He also gave them two gun holders (Angemon and Digmon put their hands in the their gun holders) and a bandana for each of them.

"Time to begin," SuperStarmon said.

The two digidestined and digimon stared at SuperStarmon the way cowboys do. Digmon was the best at staring. His eyes were directly at SuperStarmon's and SuperStarmon's eyes were directly at his. Suddenly, SuperStarmon remembered something.

"Stop!" SuperStarmon yelled out, "I remember that one of you at a time have to go against me. I face the little guy first."

Cody was scared when he stepped on the dirt about seven yards away from SuperStarmon. He didn't think he could do it. SuperStarmon quickly took out his gun and fired. Cody didn't expect it. It went through his hat!

"Next," SuperStarmon said, "I'll go against the blond haired kid."

T.K. was just like how Cody felt, except he was nervous. SuperStarmon tightened his look on T.K. and fired! He hit T.K.'s gun out of its holder.

"That was too easy," SuperStarmon said, "Next please. I'll face the angel next."

Angemon was hoping that SuperStarmon wouldn't be able to beat him. He wasn't that good so how could he possibly beat SuperStarmon? Suddenly, SuperStarmon shot a bullet that was going straight for Angemon's head. He dodged in time, but when he lifted his head up SuperStarmon's gun was aimed at his face!

"Three down and one more to go," SuperStarmon said.

"You have to do it Digmon!" Cody said.

"Go Digmon!" T.K. said.

"You're our last hope Digmon!" Angemon said.

"This is going to be easy," SuperStarmon said.

"Not likely," Digmon said.

"Why do you say that?" SuperStarmon asked.

"Remember the day you were beaten by an Armadillomon…." Digmon said.

"Yes, but how do you know about that?" SuperStarmon asked.

"That was me," Digmon replied.

A sweat drop went down SuperStarmon's head. (Flashback) Starmon was bragging to every digimon in the bar that he was the best digimon shooter in the west. But an Armadillomon came in the doors and challenged him. In mere seconds the Armadillomon shot away all his weapons. He couldn't believe it. (Present)

"I won't let you beat me again," SuperStarmon said.

"Let's just watch and see," Digmon said.

The two digidestined and Angemon had sweat drops going down their heads hoping for Digmon to win. Digmon and SuperStarmon tightened their eyes and glares at each other. Superstarmon tightened his hands in a ball. Digmon rubbed the heel his foot in the dirt. SuperStarmon made a mad-looking, teeth grin. Digmon made his eyes look mean. Sand blew across their path. A tumble weed had rolled in between the two of them. SuperStarmon twitched his fingers in a cowboy-sort of style. Digmon did the same thing. A sweat drop went down both their heads and dropped to the ground. Digmon pushed his outlaw jacket back (that he had found earlier) and swiftly took out his drills just like how SuperStarmon took out his guns. SuperStarmon shot and it went clear through Digmon's jacket. He fell down. Everyone was horrified! Especially Cody.

"Now it's your turn," SuperStarmon said.

He was about to shoot Cody, Angemon, and T.K., but two drills hit him a couple yards away. He wasn't hurt too bad, but smoke was coming from his body.

"You're still alive?!" SuperStarmon yelled.

"Yeah, but let's fight now!" Digmon said.

Digmon de-digivolved to Armadillomon.

"Digivolve!" T.K. said.

"Armadillomon, digivolve to…. Ankylomon!"

"Ankylomon, digivolve to…. Shakkoumon!"

"Angemon, digivolve to…. MagnaAngemon!"

MagnaAngemon slashed SuperStarmon and Shakkoumon shot his "Kachina Laser" attack at him. SuperStarmon tried his best to hit back, but they were too quick. Shakkoumon shot his "Kachina Bomb" attack at SuperStarmon. Finally, MagnaAngemon opened his portal and a gigantic laser shot out of it. Shakkoumon combined his laser with that one. They both formed an even bigger laser. The huge laser looked like it was going to destroy Superstarmon, but it only hit the microchip that was on him. He de-digivolved back to his original form, Starmon. Shakkoumon and MagnaAngemon also de-digivolved.

"Are you okay?" Patamon asked.

"I think so," Starmon replied.

"Why did you de-digivolve to Starmon?" Armadillomon asked.

"Diaboromon planted that microchip on me to make me go to ultimate and make me work for him," Starmon replied, "And I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused. And thank you for changing me back to normal."

"You welcome," Armadillomon replied.

"Can we have some milk?" T.K. asked.

"And food?" Armadillomon asked.

"Sure," Starmon said.

They finally finished eating and drinking.

"Do you have a key?" Cody asked.

"Yeah. How did you know?" Starmon asked.

"We need it to open a door," T.K. replied.

"You don't need to explain anymore," Starmon said, "Just take the key."

The two digidestined and their digimon walked for hours and got back to the door. They opened it and started falling.

"Ahhhhhhh!" The whole group said.

"When will those guys find me?" Gatomon asked herself.

"Gatomon! Gatomon!" Kari yelled.

"I can't find her," Hawkmon said.

"These ruins seem creepy," Lopmon said.

"Diaboromon might be here so we better be ready," Davis said.

What will happen to T.K., Cody, Armadillomon, and Patamon?! Where are they going?! When will Hawkmon, Kari, and Yolie find Gatomon?! What will happen to Davis and his group?! Find out next time on Digimon Digital Monsters!
