Part 17: The Ocean Area Cleared! Thanks to Angewomon and Stingmon!
Takeru had noticed that in his pocket, he had a familiar metallic object...
"Hey, lookit! Look what I got!" Takeru exclaimed.
Hikari, Tailmon, and Daisuke stopped walking and stood around Takeru to see what he had found.
"Your Digivice," Daisuke said.
Hikari decided to go through her pockets as well and to her success, she found her Digivice.
"I have mine too," the girl frowned a bit, "but... "
"...it's just a plain old Digivice," Takeru finished up, quite disappointed.
Daisuke searched his pockets and found both his D-3 and D-Terminal.
"Cool, I have my D-3 with me and my D-Terminal!"
"How come he still has his D-3 and we don't!" Takeru complained.
"Maybe the others know something," Tailmon insisted. "Let us continue on."
Tailmon didn't have to go far because V-mon and Patamon were on their way to Tailmon's area. They also had two friends with them...
"Wormmon!" Hikari exclaimed.
"Hawkmon?" Tailmon asked.
"Hi," Wormmon responded with a smile.
"My, isn't this a surprise," Hawkmon said.
"Patamon!"
"V-mon!"
The two Digimon were shocked to see their old partners and ran to them - well, Patamon flew - and hugged them tightly.
"What are you doing here!" Patamon exclaimed. He then noticed Takeru and asked, "What happened to you?"
"Beats me, I have no idea," Takeru said. "I didn't mean to shrink."
"It doesn't matter, it's still great to see you again!" Patamon smiled.
"How have you been, V-mon! I missed you so much!"
"I've been doing okay, Daisuke," the small Digimon responded. "I'm just glad you're back, even if you do look a bit younger than what I remember you."
Daisuke noticed V-mon's wrist and smiled.
"Wow, you kept my friendship bracelet!"
"Of course! We're an inseparable team and are friends to the end," V-mon smiled at Daisuke.
"What are you guys doing here instead of guarding your areas?" Tailmon asked Hawkmon and Wormmon while Takeru and Daisuke were reminiscing with their Digimon.
"There's been a few problems lately," Hawkmon explained. "My area is fine and so is Wormmon's and the others, but a couple of our fellow Digimon are missing."
"Missing?" Hikari asked.
Wormmon nodded.
"Both Palmon and Tentomon are missing! They disappeared about a day or so ago. It was said that their areas were attacked by cyborg looking Digimon and were taken away. Hawkmon decided to go in search of Tentomon and Palmon and I decided to go along with him. We then ran into Patamon and V-mon and they said they were on their way here to talk to you and see what you thought."
"Hmm, this is serious," Tailmon said.
"Is Ken-chan here?" Wormmon asked while looking around.
"Nope," Takeru shook his head. "We were about to go and look for him."
"What about Miyako-san?"
"I don't know about her," Daisuke said. "I haven't seen her in a good while."
"Me neither," Hikari and Takeru responded.
"We don't know if she's in the Digital World or not, Hawkmon, but we know Ken is!" Daisuke said.
"How about we go back to where we were to sit and think?" Takeru suggested.
The others agreed and headed back to where Takeru, Hikari, and Daisuke had started. They then all sat down and tried to come up with a solution to their problem.
"How will we ever find them?" Tailmon asked. "The Digital World is such a big place."
"Good question, but who cares if you do or if you don't!" an evil voice laughed out.
"Who's there!" Hawkmon demanded, getting alert and ready to protect the three children.
The other Digimon did as Hawkmon and stepped in front of the children so they wouldn't get harmed.
"Come on out!" Tailmon ordered.
"Maybe we don't want to," another voice laughed.
"You better leave us alone!" Daisuke threatened, his right fist bawled.
"Can you believe that," laughed the owner of the first voice in disbelief. "They honestly think they can threaten us!"
"A challenge would be nice for a change," the owner of the second voice agreed.
Two Digimon stepped out from their hiding spots - one of them was flying in the air - and showed themselves to the group. Takeru was the first to speak up.
"Another Angemon?" the boy asked in confusion.
"It looks like him," Hikari said, studying the Digimon's features, "only his clothes are red and white. The clothes of Angemon are blue and white."
"That's no Angemon," Tailmon said.
"The cat is on a roll," the flying Digimon laughed.
"Let us introduce ourselves," the second one suggested.
Digianalyzer On>>
First Digimon: I am Pidmon, an Angel type Digimon with a bad attitude! The only difference between me and Angemon is that I am a lot stronger and not as much of wimp!
Digianalyzer Off>>
"I don't believe it!" Tailmon said in disbelief. "I have heard of Pidmon!"
"So have I," Hawkmon said, same state as Tailmon. "Pidmon has always been called, 'The White Winged Warrior of Justice'! What has happened!"
"Maybe he is infected with some type of a virus," Patamon said.
"I can assure you, that is not the case!" Pidmon responded, growing slightly annoyed. "And how dare you interrupt our introductions! My partner hasn't finished yet!"
Digianalyzer On>>
Second Digimon: Talk about rude! My name is *Mothmon and our task is to destroy any children wandering around the Digital World and you guys have just volunteered to be our first victims!
Digianalyzer Off>>
Pidmon landed and took out his golden rod, which was similar to Angemon's, and held it towards Hikari and the other kids.
"You are not going to harm these children!" Tailmon said with determination. "*Neko Panchii!!"
"Yeah!" V-mon nodded. "*Boom Boom Punch!"
Tailmon, along with V-mon, ran up and tried to attack Pidmon, but he smacked her out of the way and kicked V-mon.
"Tailmon!" Hikari shouted.
"V-mon!!" Daisuke called.
Patamon and Hawkmon tried their luck next by attacking Mothmon at the same time.
"*Air shot!" Patamon shouted, throwing out his air bubbles.
"*Feather Slash!" Hawkmon shouted as he threw his blade like feather at the bug like Digimon.
Mothmon avoided the two attacks and attacked back by shooting at them. They both got hit and fell to the ground.
"On no, Patamon!" Takeru shouted out.
"Hawkmon!" Wormmon called.
"Sorry," Hawkmon apologized. "We are still a bit weak from the long journey we took to get here."
Patamon nodded sadly.
"There must be some way to beat them!" Takeru said. "They don't look all that strong!"
"I see that we are too tough for you!" Pidmon laughed, noticing that none of the Digimon were trying to attack him.
Patamon got up weakly along with the others.
"We are not giving up," Tailmon groaned.
"If that's the way you want to do it, then okay," Pidmon said, preparing to attack. "Fire Feather!!"
The Digimon used one of his ultimate attacks, Fire Feather. He shot out a big inferno of fire at Tailmon and she screamed in pain. Mothmon then started to shoot at her, hurting her badly. Both Digimon started to laugh cruelly at the poor Digimon.
Hikari ran up to Tailmon and held her in her arms crying after the fire had gone out.
"Tailmon...no..."
"No, get out of here," Tailmon warned.
Wormmon couldn't take it anymore and evolved since he was the only one who hadn't fought. He still had some of his strength left.
"Wormmon, shinka...Stingmon!"
"Mothmon, take care of that oversized bug!"
"With pleasure!" Mothmon said with an evil snarl.
While Mothmon and Stingmon fought, Pidmon went after Hikari and Tailmon. Pidmon picked Hikari up by her neck, which caused both Takeru and Daisuke to get angered. Due to this, they both started to yell threats out to Pidmon. Due to the tight grasp that Pidmon had on the girl's neck, Hikari started to cry since her neck was starting to hurt.
"Time to kill this child," Pidmon said with an evil glare.
He held out his staff towards the young girl's head, ready to strike...
"NOOOO!!!!" Tailmon shouted.
All of a sudden, the chest of Hikari lit up in the shape of her old Crest of Light. A beautiful pink light started to surround Tailmon who got up and did something she hadn't in a long time...evolve to her perfect (ultimate) form
Everyone watched in awe and gasped in surprise.
"*Tailmon, chou shinka...."
Tailmon's petite, cat like body started to grow to that of an average
sized human. Her body became curvy and long, blonde hair now flowed
down her back. A
helmet covered her big, blue eyes and pink ribbons draped around her
arms. She now wore white boots, and angelic wings protruded from
her back.
"...Angewomon!!" her voice echoed.
"She...she super evolved," Takeru said in amazement.
"But, but how," Daisuke stuttered.
Due to the surprise Pidmon was in, he had dropped Hikari who was helped up by Daisuke and Takeru.
"You get her Angewomon!" Hikari cheered.
"Yeah, teach that phony baloney Angemon a lesson!" Takeru added on.
"Leave here or I will be forced to hurt you," Angewomon warned.
"I am not afraid of you!" Pidmon scoffed.
"You should be!" Stingmon buzzed.
Mothmon then came up behind the bug and knocked Stingmon down. Mothmon was pretty fast, but Stingmon knew he could beat him, which he did. When Mothmon tried to shoot at him again, Stingmon moved in the opposite direction and used one of his most powerful attacks...
"You should never let your guard down," Stingmon said while a purple energy knife came out from the top of his hand. "Striking Finish!!"
He stabbed Mothmon right in his chest, which resulted in him being deleted.
Angewomon was still fighting against Pidmon. She kept trying to shoot Pidmon by using her finger. She kept shooting out that pink energy of hers, hoping to land a hit on him, but he was very agile and kept using his Pid Speed attack to avoid all of hers, but she had an idea and needed the help of Stingmon to do it. She nodded to him and he got what she was thinking, which was pretty simple, actually...
"Don't tell me you give up!"
"I never give up," Angewomon told the flying Digimon, her finger pointed at him. "Unlike you, I really do believe in justice towards all and defending the innocent!"
Stingmon snuck behind Pidmon while Angewomon was talking to Pidmon to stall him. The children and the other Digimon only sat there quietly. They didn't know what the two were planning, but they hoped that it would work.
Pidmon then used an attack on Angewomon, his Fire Feather attack once again. Angewomon got hit purposely. She knew she was stronger than this Digimon, it was just a matter of keeping him still. While Pidmon laughed at Angewomon, who acted to be in real pain, Stingmon flew fast and grabbed him...
"Hell Squeeze!"
Pidmon was in Stingmon's grasp and was being squeezed very tightly.
"Let...me...out...of..here..." Pidmon grunted, trying to get out of Stingmon's grasp.
"Good, keep him there," Angewomon instructed.
The Angel like Digimon started to gather energy and a big arrow formed. She then aimed it right towards the chest of Pidmon.
"*Holy..." Angewomon started, an echo heard in her voice.
"Stingmon, move out of the way," Daisuke warned. "You'll get hit!!"
Stingmon just continued holding Pidmon in place, ignoring the young boy's plea.
"...Arrow!!" Angewomon finished, releasing the arrow.
The arrow was now getting closer and closer towards Pidmon and Stingmon.
The children, as well as the other Digimon, were telling Stingmon to move; especially Takeru and Hikari since they knew how powerful her Holy Arrow was.
A big light then illuminated the entire area as the arrow hit Pidmon, which caused him to scream loudly. He was then deleted. After the light cleared, Stingmon was flying high in the air. He then came back down and devolved back into Wormmon and Angewomon devolved back into Tailmon.
"Great job! I knew you would move in time! You're fast," Tailmon complimented.
Wormmon smiled from the compliment and was glad that everything had worked out.
The others all cheered and hugged on Tailmon and Wormmon for saving the day. Patamon then got a puzzled look on his face.
"What's the matter, Patamon?" Daisuke asked.
"I'm just trying to figure out how an attack from an Angel Digimon can destroy another Angel Digimon."
"It is quite simple," Tailmon said. "He was just on the adult (champion) level."
"Yes and since Tailmon was one level higher, it destroyed him," Hawkmon added on. "That is the only reason why."
"How do you know that he was an adult (champion) leveled Digimon?" Takeru asked.
"We all have, I guess you could say, mirror versions of ourselves here in the Digital World," Tailmon explained. "Like there is a Black Tailmon roaming around and Black Tailmon is also an adult (champion) such as myself. Pidmon is just another version of Angemon, just like Devimon, the only difference being is that Pidmon is normally a good Digimon and isn't a Fallen Angel Type like Devimon is."
"I think I got that," Takeru said while scratching his head.
"Okay, let's get out of here now," Hawkmon suggested. "I don't think it would be wise to sit here. What if their leader sends some other Digimon to this area to attack us. The children are obviously in danger."
"Good idea," V-mon agreed. "I don't think I have all of my strength back yet to fight against another Digimon."
"I think you guys should eat first to get your strength up. What if we run into another Digimon after we leave here?"
The Digimon all agreed with Daisuke and ate. While they ate, they all discussed what had just happened.
"It felt great to evolve to Angewomon again!"
"I bet!!" Patamon said. "I wish I could evolve to Holy Angemon again."
"Does this mean that Hikari has her crest powers back now?" Takeru asked while eating on a piece of fruit.
"We need answers," Hawkmon said. "If we could only find Gennai-san!"
"But we have to find Ken-chan first!" Wormmon insisted.
"Don't worry, we will," V-mon said while chomping down on an apple, "but Hawkmon is right. We do need to find Gennai."
"What do you mean?" Hawkmon asked. "What I meant by my statement was that we should go visit him to get answers."
"I guess you guys haven't talked with Agumon lately. Gennai has been missing for a good while now."
"That's what we were coming to talk to Tailmon about," Patamon said.
"Ken-chan first!" Wormmon shouted. "We find Ken-chan first!"
"What do you mean Gennai-san is missing?" Hikari asked.
"He just vanished," V-mon said. "The rumor is that he went up against whoever the head Digimon is that's causing all of this trouble."
"Uh-oh, that's not good," Takeru said. "What if he's hurt?"
"Do you know where this head Digimon is!" Daisuke stood up, speaking with determination. "I want to meet this Digimon and teach him a lesson he'll never forget for messing with our friends!"
"Stop thinking irrationally," Tailmon scolded. "You know you can't fight against a Digimon alone. I'm surprised Gennai did."
The boy sat back down. He hated when he couldn't help out. They continued to eat and then started off on their next task, to find Ken. Wormmon was hyper about it and insisted on them going in search of him first.
"YAY, I GET TO SEE KEN-CHAN AGAIN!! YAY, YAY, YAY, YAY, YAY---"
"He's more hyper than Upamon whenever you mention Ken-san," Hawkmon laughed.
Everyone laughed in agreement and left to go off in search of Ken...
****
Meanwhile...
"What is the matter?" a Digimon asked.
The Digimon's human partner smiled happily at her partner.
"What has happened?" the Digimon asked again.
"I sense that some of our enemies' followers have been defeated," the being said. "The area that is near the ocean seems to be cleared of all the evil that was within it."
"That's wonderful!"
"Yes it is, and you were doubtful."
"So I was doubtful, but can you blame me for having my doubts?"
"No, I suppose not."
"You said that it was the ocean area, right?"
The woman nodded.
"Which set of children were there?"
"The ones named Takeru, Hikari, and Daisuke," the being told her partner. "Now they are on another journey and by doing this, they will meet with all of the others."
"I am sorry for doubting you earlier, but I guess you were right afterall," the Digimon apologized.
"Of course, but still, that negative feeling I have has not yet gone away. It's that extra person I am sensing..."
"Let's not worry about it," her Digimon insisted. "We are on a roll!"
"Maybe you are right," the woman said, agreeing with her partner. "I am sure they will find that person as well and they will all be safe."
The Digimon nodded. Both smiled and were happy to know that
the children were making progress...
