Digimon: Elementals

Disclaimer: For the minuscule portion of you who are BRAINDEAD IDIOTS, I DON'T own Digimon. Not that I wouldn't like to, but I don't Toei Animation, Saban, Fox Kids, and those Japanese people own Digimon, not me. There are lots of Digimon that I've created for the sole purpose of putting them in this story, so if you see a name you don't recognize, it's probably one of my creations. There will be a list at the end of the fic, and in the Author's Note at the beginning of every chapter, I'll put the names of my creations for that particular chapter, as well as the origin of some Digimon you may not recognize.

Author's Note: Comments, suggestions, and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism welcome. Flames will be answered by a multitude of things from my army of faithful and loyal (and powerful) Digimon. The following Digimon are 100% my creations. If there are actual Digimon with that name, oops, and sorry to whoever created them. Here they are: Pansymon. I also own Digicarrots and Xarianfruits. OK, enjoy the story!

Chapter Five: Meramon and Pansymon

            "Huh, kinda sounds like us when we first entered the Digi World," Izzy said.

            "Yeah, and April definitely sounds like Mimi: 'I'm not eating leaves!'" T.K. remarked, trying to mimic Mimi. Everyone laughed, even us, who didn't know who Mimi was, at the time.

            "What happened after that?" Cody asked, breaking the ensuing silence.

            "Well, we went to search for Airdramon, but didn't find him......."

Flashback:

            "Airdramon!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.

            "Where are you? Hey, AIIIIIIRRRDRAMOOOOONNNN!" Randy shouted into the dark forest. We were having absolutely no luck finding Airdramon, especially since the forest was getting darker and darker, because the sun was going down.

            "Oh great, our tour guide to the Digital World has vanished, now what do we do?" Nick asked.

            "I don't know, but the forest is getting too dark to see very far, and we really need to find somewhere to stop and rest for the night." Randy said.

            "I agree, I'm getting tired of walking around!" Floramon complained.

            "I don't know where we can stop to rest, but I do know how to fix the dark thing," Flamemon said.

            "How?" Will asked.

            "Here, Randy, grab that branch lying there," Flamemon said.

            "Why?" Randy asked, and picked it up.

            "Flame Bomber!" Flamemon exclaimed, and shot a ball of fire into the leafy end of the branch. The leaves burst into flames.      

            "Ah!" Randy exclaimed and shielded his face from the sudden burst of light and heat.

            "A torch! Great thinking!" I exclaimed.

            "Yeah, thanks, Flamemon." Nick thanked the flame Digimon.

            "I do what I can!" Flamemon replied, as he bounced along beside Randy. Randy held the torch at the front of the group, and led the way. We soon came to a few fallen trees. They crisscrossed, and were held up by a large rock at the back. We cleared out the area underneath them, and used April's blanket as something to lay on. Fortunately, it didn't look like it was going to rain, because the night sky showed up clearly. We were in a tropical area of the Digiworld, so it wasn't all that cold. We all crashed there for the night, and tried to get some sleep.

            Unfortunately, we didn't get very much sleep. In the middle of the night we all awoke to rumbling, like an earthquake. We couldn't see very well, but we figured that Deltamon or one of his minions was on his way. We packed up our gear, quickly, and had Flamemon light the torch again. The quakes were getting stronger, but we couldn't tell which direction they were coming from!

            "We're sitting ducks here!" Wendy exclaimed, nervously.

            "But where do we run to? We don't even know which direction the tremors are coming from!" Nick argued. Suddenly, we were knocked off of our feet by a giant tremor, bigger than the last.
            "Come out, Digidestined, come out and be destroyed!" Deltamon's three voices said, simultaneously.

            "It came from that way!" all six of us exclaimed, and pointed in a different direction.

            "Uh, oh, we can't run! This is the end!" April exclaimed. Suddenly, from the direction Randy had been pointing to, Deltamon stomped into view, and his three heads bellowed, menacingly.

            "I told you-" Randy started, but we cut him off.

            "RUUUUUUUUN!!!" the five of us and our Digimon yelled, and we took off in the opposite direction.

            "That's right, run, that makes the game of cat and mouse so much more fun!" Deltamon's three heads said. We dashed around trees, and jumped over logs, and ran out of the forest and into a grassy plain. We could run a whole lot faster now that we didn't have to dodge around trees, but the problem was, we were out in the open. We ran out into the middle of the plain when suddenly, a giant praying mantis popped up in front of us and stopped our escape.

            "Ah! He almost sliced my head off!" Wendy yelled, as she fell to the ground.

            "Snimon!" Floramon exclaimed.

            "Bad news!" April yelled.

            "Prepare to meet your doom Digidestined, Twin Sickles!" Snimon exclaimed, and slashed through the air with his claws. Pink bursts of light came from them.

            "Watch it!" Syakomon shouted, and we dodged to the side.

            "Voltomon!" I exclaimed.

            "Right!" Voltomon exclaimed, but before the Digivice could react, Snimon tagged her with a Twin Sickles. She bounced away...and reverted back to Ellmon!

            "Ellmon!" I exclaimed, and darted over to the fallen Digimon.

            "Twin Sickles!" Snimon exclaimed, and shot two more blasts at the others, but they dodged.

            "Hey, Ellmon, are you all right?" I asked as I reached her.

            "I'm fine, Digimon heal pretty fast," she said.

            "Twin Sickles!" Snimon exclaimed, and shot two bursts of light at us, but they barely missed us.

           "Hey, ugly, over here!" Randy exclaimed. Snimon turned to look, and got blasted by Flamemon, Sparrowmon, and Floramon. When the attacks combined they created a gigantic fireball, which smashed into Snimon and sent him crashing to the ground.

            "Good going guys!" I exclaimed. Suddenly, Snimon darted through the air and grabbed up Randy in his claws. He held him prisoner in the air, the sharp edges of his blades just inches from Randy's neck.

            "How did he do that?" Nick asked.

            "RANDY!!" Flamemon yelled.

            "Prepare to meet your doom!" Snimon exclaimed to Randy and brought his sickles closer to the helpless boy's neck.

            "No! Put me down, you oversized fly!" Randy yelled. Snimon hissed in anger.

            "Somehow, I don't think he liked that too much," Nick said.

            "Duh!" Wendy replied.

            "Someone help me!" Randy called, Snimon's sharp claws just barely touching his neck.

            "You shall be the first sacrifice! I will kill you, then the others! Then lord Deltamon will make his second in command, instead of that big oaf Tyrannomon!" Snimon yelled, and raised one sickle into the air, choking the helpless Randy on the other one.

            "Randy!" we all exclaimed.

            "No!" Flamemon exclaimed, and Randy's Digivice suddenly started beeping, and a bright red light radiated from it.

            "Augh!" Snimon groaned, and was forced to shield his eyes with the sickle he had raised.

            "Flamemon, Digivolve to......Meramon!" Snimon hissed in annoyance, but raised his sickle again to try to slice Randy's head off. Suddenly, he was hit with a giant fireball from behind.

            "Roaring Flames!" exclaimed a human sized fire beast, and shot another fireball at Snimon. Snimon turned around, and sliced cleanly through it. However, he dropped Randy in the process. The fire beast caught Randy, jumped a few more feet away, and set him down beside me and Ellmon. We were all shocked by the appearance of the fire beast, but what was even more shocking was that the fire beast didn't set Randy on fire.

            "You all right?" I asked him, still a little shocked by Flamemon's Digivolution.

            "Flamemon?" Randy asked. The fire beast turned back toward him.

            "I am Meramon, the Champion form of Flamemon. I am a fiery Digimon, who normally lives in volcanoes," the fire beast said.

            "He Digivolved?" April asked, astonished.

            "Meramon! Awesome! You rock!" Randy yelled. I wasn't sure, because Meramonwas glowing red all ready, but I think I saw him blush at the compliment. Snimon hissed, and flew through the air toward him.

            "I believe I've got some unfinished business...duck!" Meramon said, and jumped into the air. Randy and I ducked, just in time to avoid a clothesline by Snimon. In the air, Meramon launched another attack.

            "Roaring Flames!" Meramon exclaimed, and shot a series of fireballs into Snimon. The bug Digimon hissed in pain, and fell to the ground, fuzzing out like Roachmon had.

            "Curse you! Curse you Digidestined!" he yelled, and then disintegrated! Meramon landed, glowed white for a few seconds, and then shrank, changing back into Flamemon Randy ran up to him.

            "You're the best!" Randy yelled in absolute joy.

            "Really?" Flamemon asked.

            "Yeah! You're awesome!" Randy replied.

            "Nice going, Flamemon!" Nick congratulated him.

            "Thanks!" Flamemon replied, and yawned.

            "One problem, I'm still tired, and we can't go back to the woods!" Wendy whined.

            "We could always camp out here, the tall grass does provide some cover, and we won't be seen because there's hardly any moon out," Will suggested.

            "I guess we could camp out here, besides, we've only got a few more hours until sunrise, and then we'll have to get moving, unless we want to be breakfast for Deltamon," Nick said.

            "OK, less speaking and more sleeping!" Ellmon exclaimed, and we all rolled out April's blanket again and tried to get a little sleep. Randy and Flamemon agreed to be lookout for a few hours, and then someone else would take their place.

            At sunrise, Nick and Syakomon woke us all up, and, sleepily, we all ate breakfast and started off. I could tell that we weren't going to get very much sleep in the Digiworld. Not that I, or anyone else, for that matter, was too thrilled at our lack of sleep, but it was either sleep, or our lives...

            "It's too early to be hiking!" April whined.

            "Well, we certainly can't go back to sleep, because in broad daylight Deltamon and his slaves would find us for sure," Voltomon, who had Digivolved overnight, said.

            "I miss my comfy bed!" April cried.

            "We all do, but we aren't home right now, so we've got to make the best of whatever we can," Nick replied.

            "Hey, I wonder what is happening back at home," Wendy pondered.

            "Well, we've only been gone for like half of a day and the night, so they probably think we've been kidnapped, or we're lost in New York," I hypothesized.        

            "They're worried sick, though, I can tell you that much," Will said. We continued talking on that matter for a while, but we eventually stopped. It was upsetting all of us to think what kind of disturbance was going on back at home. We got out of the field by midday, and stopped for lunch by a small river in the middle of another dense, tropical forest. With blue trees. We still hadn't gotten used to the...eccentric coloring of, well, everything in this part of the Digiworld, but somehow we weren't surprised to find blue colored trees there. Anyway, since we were running low on food, we decided to search the forest for anything that looked edible. We found some bananas, which turned out to be nothing but peel, and some weirdo fruit, which were delicious, despite the fact that the skin of the fruit was black and white, and checkered, for that matter! Floramon led us to some edible mushrooms, and some digi-carrots, which were huge, enormous, gigantic carrots that were colored...orange, for a change. Although things were weird here in Digiworld, I definitely wasn't complaining, because the digi-carrots were huge! We wouldn't have to eat leaves for a while now! We stocked up on digi-carrots, those weird fruits that Floramon called Xarians, and filled our now empty soda bottles with fresh water. After stocking up, we headed off through the tropical forest.

            "It's a good thing I'm a vegetarian, because the only meat around here is probably the Digimon," April remarked.         

            "What?! Are you saying that you're going to eat us??" Floramon exclaimed.

            "Of course not, I was just joking! We'd never eat you!" April replied.

            "You'd probably taste too bad," Nick joked, and laughed.

            "That's not funny!" Syakomon and Sparrowmon both yelled. They were probably the only two edible Digimon in the group, not that we'd eat them or anything.

            "Actually, there are probably fish here, because there were some small minnows in that little river back there," I said.

            "Great, fish!" Will exclaimed.

            "At least you won't have to eat digi-carrots and Xarians all the time!" Tapirmon, who was usually quiet, said.

           "I don't know, those Xarians do taste pretty good!" Randy said. Suddenly, we heard a loud roar. No, it wasn't a roar, it sounded like...

            "Was that a chicken crowing I just heard?" I asked.

            "Uh oh! That can only mean one thing! Kokatorimon is on his way!" Floramon exclaimed.

            "Huh? You mean that giant chicken?" Nick asked.

            "I guess that's him," Wendy said.

            "My ears are burning, you must have been talking about me!" someone said from above us. We looked up, and spotted a giant chicken, clumsily flying, or trying to fly, through the air.

            "Pathetic, a chicken that can't fly," Randy remarked, slyly.

            "I heard that! You'll pay dearly for that little remark, Petrifyer!" Kokatorimon yelled, angrily, and shot a beam of light from his eyes toward Randy. We all cried out in shock. Randy stood, paralyzed with fear.

            "Watch out!" Flamemon exclaimed, and jumped up to try and knock away the blast, but he was turned to stone!

            "Flamemon!" Randy exclaimed, as his stone Flamemon hit the ground in front of him with a thud.

            "Just give me the word, Kimi, I'm ready for action!" Voltomon exclaimed.

            "Right!" I exclaimed, and took out my Digivice.

            "Oh no, you don't, Petrifyer!" Kokatorimon exclaimed, and Voltomon was turned to stone.

            "No!" I exclaimed.

            "Black Pearl Blast!" "Spiral Wind!" Syakomon and Sparrowmon tried to attack Kokatorimon from behind, but he blocked the attacks with his feather sword.

            "Petrifyer!" Kokatorimon turned Syakomon and Sparrowmon to stone too!

            "Deleting Virus!" "Rain of Pollen!" Tapirmon and Floramon tried their luck.

            "Petrifyer!" Kokatorimon exclaimed, after dodging the Deleting Virus, and turned Tapirmon to stone. He tried to turn Floramon to stone too, but the Petrifyer hit the Rain of Pollen, and turned it to stone instead.

            "I'm the only Digimon left!" Floramon exclaimed, frightened.

            "Five down, one to go, Petrifyer!" Kokatorimon exclaimed, and aimed a blast at Floramon, who dodged. April was standing behind her, and the blasts zinged toward her.

            "Oh no!" Floramon exclaimed, and jumped. She pushed April down and out of the way. The Petrifyer hit a tree and turned it into stone. Floramon did a back flip and landed on her feet. April pushed herself to a sitting position.

            "Floramon! You've got the Digivolve!" she yelled. Floramon nodded.

            "I don't think so! Petrifyer!" Kokatorimon exclaimed, and fired two blasts of energy, one aimed for Floramon, and one for April. Floramon did a backflip out of the way. April pushed herself to her feet, and jumped out of the way, just in time. The Petrifyer  hit her shoe, turning it to stone!

            "April!" I exclaimed. April's Digivice was going crazy.

            "You just met your match, Kokatorimon!" Floramon exclaimed. April held up her Digivice, glowing a bright, spring green.

            "Floramon Digivolve to.......Pansymon!" April fell to the ground, and something leaped over the top of her head and stood between her and Kokatorimon. It was a large, human sized Digimon with a flower on her head and roots for feet. She seemed to grow into the ground, although she was surprisingly agile.

            "Pansymon?" the five of us asked. The new Digimon turned to us.

            "Hello, I am Pansymon, the Champion form of Floramon. I use Stinging Petals to defeat my enemies!" the plant Digimon greeted us.

            "Floramon! You did it!" April exclaimed.

            "Well, an overgrown flower won't stop me, Petrifyer!" Kokatorimon exclaimed. Pansymon jumped to avoid the blast, and April jumped out of the way.

            "Stinging Petals!" Pansymon exclaimed, and a bunch of flowers with razor-sharp petals flew out of her hands and hit Kokatorimon. He was thrown backwards, with trails of severed feathers appearing all along his wings. He growled, which sounded more like a muffled squawk.

            "That hurt! You'll pay dearly for that, Feather Sword!" Kokatorimon exclaimed, and a blade shaped like a feather appeared in one wing. He slashed at Pansymon with his new sword, but she easily dodged.

            "Is that all you've got? Blistering Thorns!" Pansymon exclaimed, and vines with huge, sharp thorns suddenly grew up from the spot Kokatorimon was standing, rooting him to the ground. He strained against the vines, but couldn't move an inch.

            "OW! This really hurts, you know!" Kokatorimon cried.

            "Do you surrender?" Pansymon asked.

            "Not a chance, Petrifyer!" Kokatorimon exclaimed, and shot the attack at Pansymon, who again dodged.

            "Some Digimon just don't learn, do they? Stinging Petals!" Pansymon exclaimed, and shot another barrage of sharp flowers into Kokatorimon. He crowed weakly one last time, then was vaporized. The vines disappeared. Voltomon, Syakomon, Flamemon, Sparrowmon, and Tapirmon all returned to normal, as well as everything else petrified by Kokatorimon.

            "Yea!" we all cheered. Pansymon glowed, and returned to her rookie level, Floramon.

            "Thanks Floramon!" the once petrified Digimon congratulated the power plant.

            "Grr...that's three of my Dark Generals that those meddling kids and their Digi pets have  destroyed! They will pay dearly. Tyrannomon! Tuskmon! Assemble the remaining Dark Generals. We have some Cursing to do!" Deltamon growled, on a hill just above where the battle with Kokatorimon had ended.

            "Lord Deltamon, perhaps we should try to destroy them? Only three have Digivolved so far. I'm sure one of us could-" Tyrannomon started behind him.

            "Don't talk back to me!" Deltamon bellowed with his three voices at once, turning one head to look at Tyrannomon, menacingly.

            "But, Sir, I don't understand-"

           "Understand this! The rest will Digivolve if we attack them now! We have to come up with a plan, or they'll overpower us now!" Deltamon growled at him. Tyrannomon cowered, but nodded obediently. Deltamon seemed to smile.        

            "Good,"

            After the grueling battle with Kokatorimon, we all wandered around the forest for a while, until we came to a lake. We spent the rest of the day fishing, boiling water, gathering food, and preparing a makeshift shelter for the night. No evil Digimon attacked us for the rest of the day. Night came, and we ate dinner: fish(cooked), some mushrooms, digi-carrots, and Xarians. Then, we all went to sleep, except Wendy and Sparrowmon, who had volunteered to stay up on guard duty for half the night.

Next Chapter: Deltamon's secret weapon is revealed to the Digidestined next time, when fights with seemingly crazed Digimon render the three previous Champion Digimon useless!
