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 those names, oops, and sorry to whoever created them. Here they are: Pleilimon, Gnomon, Ekidnamon, and Ocelamon. OK, enjoy the story!
Chapter Eight: Rescue Mission
"Oh, that's so awful!" Yolei exclaimed.
"Well, Will is here, now, so you must have rescued him from Deltamon, right?" Cody asked.
"Yes, but let me tell you, it wasn't easy......
Flashback......
"Wendy, we all got stuck here in the Digital World, so Will is just as much our responsibility as he is yours. After all, we all have to look out for each other," April said.
"I guess," Wendy replied.
"And, It's just as much our fault that he got captured by Deltamon, so we've all got to work together to get him back," Nick continued for April.
"OK," Wendy said. She stopped crying, and Randy and Nick helped her up.We walked out to the battle field, to our Digimon and Frigimon and Zerumon.
"Thanks for saving us from Tyrannomon and Tuskmon," I said to Frigimon and Zerumon.
"Well, thanks for getting rid of our curses," Zerumon said, reminding us that they were just repaying the debt that they owed us.
"OK, so what do we do now?" Randy asked.
"Our Digimon are too weak to go after Deltamon right now, so I say we get some rest and recharge them, and then go after them first thing in the morning," Wendy suggested, even though we knew she wanted to go after Will.
"OK, but first, we have to plan our rescue mission," Nick, the strategist of the group, said. So, we set up camp nearby in the forest and started planning while our Digimon ate.
"It would be so much easier to plan this if we had a map of the area," Nick said, after a while of pondering, and us suggesting, and all of us scratching down things in my notebook.
"There might be a map on that weird computer," I said, and got it out of my pack. I opened it up, and checked it.
"Nothing, no maps of the area we're in now," I said, discouraged.
"So you say you need a map, huh?" asked a tiny, chirpy voice from behind us. We turned around to find a Hummamon hovering in the air behind us. Voltomon and Syakomon jumped forward to the defense, and Flamemon also jumped up, growling.
"It's OK, she isn't cursed," Sparrowmon said. The Digimon sighed in relief.
"Did you say something about a map?" Randy asked Hummamon.
"Why yes I did! Do you need one?" the Hummamon asked.
"Definetely. But...how are you going to get one?" Nick asked.
"We Hummamon are expert map-makers, just give me a piece of paper and I'll be back with a map of the area in a jiffy!" Hummamon said.
"That's great, thanks!" Wendy exclaimed, tore a piece of paper out of my notebook, and handed it to Hummamon.
"Uh, don't you need a pencil to make the map?" I asked, holding up the pencil.
"I have wings, feet, and feathers. Do you honestly think I can draw using a pencil? Hummamon asked.
"Well, no, but if you aren't using a pencil or some kind of ink then how will you make the map?" I asked.
"That's for me to know," Hummamon said, and flew up and away.
"Well, that was....weird," Nick said.
"I wonder if that was one of the Hummamon we just freed from the curses," Randy said.
"Speaking of, we really need to get planning how to get Will back," Wendy said, and we all turned back to the notebook.
"We're definitely going to need all the help we can get for this battle, because Deltamon is really strong," April said.
"Yeah, and let's not forget Tuskmon and Tyrannomon," I added.
"Flymon, and that weird bird Digimon, and all of the cursed Digimon we haven't freed yet....." Randy continued.
"This battle is going to be a big one," Nick concluded.
"I just hope we can win it," Wendy said.
"Don't worry, Wendy, we're Digimon, we never quit, and we always fight until we win!" Sparrowmon reassured her, and the other four Digimon nodded.
"OK, we can do it! But, maybe we should try and get a few Digimon to help us out, just in case we need them," April suggested.
"You can count on us to help," Frigimon and Zerumon said from across camp.
"Right, and if we really need the help we can get a hold of Kuwagamon and Shellmon, and try to track down Airdramon," I said.
"OK, I'm back!" Hummamon called, and flitted down to us. The blank piece of paper Wendy had handed her was now completely covered in a detailed drawing of the area around us, from the area Tyrannomon had first chased us in to the sea beyond the hills where Deltamon's camp was. It was even in color, surprisingly enough. April took the map from her and thanked her.
"We're by the sea, huh, I didn't know that!" Nick exclaimed.
"Wow, and this is really, really detailed!" April said.
"How did you do that?" I asked.
"Magic," Hummamon said, and perched on a low branch of a nearby tree. We continued planning, until finally we got too tired and fell asleep.
In the morning, we set our plan into action. The night before, we had set up the first part of the plan, by the usage of my fusion computer and Hummamon's map. First, we were going to go and get Shellmon and Kuwagamon, so they could help. The fastest way to Kuwagamon's area was by air, so Wendy and Falcomon took off in that direction. Shockmon and I took off to Shellmon's pond, to let him know that we needed him. I had used my fusion computer to look up Shellmon, and I found out that Shellmon could not only swim, but dig too. There was a river connecting the lake he lived in and the area where we were, so he could swim most of the way and dig the rest of the way.
Second, we had planned the safest and fastest route to Deltamon's camp, and sent Hummamon to scout the area. She drew down the positions of the guards, and Deltamon's camp, which was at the base of a high mountain, in the center of the hilly area. Naturally. We were going to split up into three groups of three and approach the base from different directions. We would take out as many of the guards as we could, and try to meet at the top. We had no idea where Tyrannomon, Tuskmon, Will, Tapirmon and Deltamon were, because Hummamon couldn't spot them.
"OK, we're going to split up into three groups of three, since there are nine of us, if you don't include our Digimon, since we aren't splitting up from our Digimon," I said.
"Right, so we had better pick groups of Digimon that are the most alike," Nick replied. We all agreed.
"OK, so then we should split up based on things like flight or attacks," April added.
"Then it makes sense to group Shockmon, Falcomon, and Kuwagamon together, since they can all fly." Wendy said.
"Right," Sparrowmon agreed.
"Then Shellmon, Marinedramon, and Frigimon should be in one group, because of their like powers. After all, ice is just frozen water," Nick suggested.
"Sounds good," Frigimon replied.
"That leaves Pansymon, Meramon, and Zerumon, because they are the only ones left. Actually, they do go well together, because of Zerumon and Pansymon's like characteristics, and...well...Meramon is just really good," Randy said, gloating a little. Flamemon smiled, happily.
Third, we had to plan how each group would go up the hills, because certain groups of cursed Digimon were on certain areas of the hills, and it would be a whole lot easier for one group to go up one way.
"First, we need you to analyze all of the enemy Digimon we'll have to battle on our way up," Nick said.
"Yes master," I replied sarcastically, and entered all of the names Hummamon gave to me into my computer. Nick just stuck his tongue out at me.
"OK, I've got it," I said, and pointed to one of the areas on Hummamon's map. "These Digimon right here are the Raremon. They are Champion level Digimon with a breath like a sewer, and an attack called Breath of Decay," I analyzed.
"Sounds like they need a breath mint the size of a tree!" April exclaimed.
"No, bigger," Hummamon replied.
"Good thing there's only a few of them," Floramon pointed out.
"Next," I began, and pointed to another area, "are the Drimogemon. They are also Champions, with an attack called Iron Drill Spin. Plus, they can drill into the ground and into hillsides, so watch out for that,"
"To the east at the base of the hills are the Numemon. They're Champion level, although they seem to have less power than a Rookie does. They have an attack called Sludge Bomber," I continued.
"These Digimon won't be as easy to beat as you think, there are hundreds, possibly even thousands, over there, because it is a swamp," Hummamon said.
"Great," April groaned.
"Up on the next hill, above the Raremon are the Woodmon. These guys are Champion level, with an attack called Twig Tap,"
"Meramon's team should be able to take these guys out easily," Nick strategized.
"Yeah right, you just don't want to battle the Raremon," Randy argued. They glared menacingly at each other.
"Anyway," I said, breaking them up, "Above the Drimogemon are the Gizamon. They are rookie Digimon, who attack using Spiral Leap. They shouldn't be too hard to beat,"
"How many are there?" Syakomon asked Hummamon.
"Only around 10 or 15," she replied.
"Above the Numemon is a Digimon by the name of Cyclonemon. He's almost as powerful as Tyrannomon and Tuskmon, plus, he's ugly. He attacks using Hyper Heat,"
"Yeeeuuwww!" April said, disgusted, when she looked at the picture of Cyclonemon on the screen.
"On the final two hills above the Raremon are the Mojyamon, Vilemon, and Mushroomon. Mojyamon is an Icy Digimon with an attack called Ice Cloud. Vilemon is a bat like Digimon who attacks with Nightmare Shock. Mushroomon are vegetation Digimon who use Fungus Crusher and Laughing Smasher. Mojyamon and Vilemon are Champions, Mushroomon are rookies." I said, finishing off the west side of the hills.
"Then we're definitely taking that route," Flamemon said, and Nick wrote something down.
"OK, there are two more hills and then a sharp incline up to the base on the North side. The Pleilimon and Gnomon are up that way. Pleilimon are starfish like Digimon with attacks called, appropriately, Star Shooter. Gnomon are mystic Digimon with an attack called Blast From the Past, for some reason. They are both Champion Digimon." I continued, finishing the North side.
"Gnomon are known as the keepers of time," Floramon explained.
"I think my group should take the North side, because it would be easiest for us to make it up that steep incline," Wendy said, and we took the North side.
"OK, and the final two groups of guard Digimon we'll have to face are Ekidnamon and Ocelamon. Ekidnamon is a porcupine like Digimon who uses Needle Spray and Pronged Tackle attacks. Ocelamon is a catlike Digimon who uses Seeing Spots and Seeing Stars attacks. They are both Champion level Digimon." I finished.
"Well, there's no other area left, so we'll take that area," Shellmon said.
"OK, now if everyone's ready, we'll go get Will back!" April exclaimed.
"Yeah!" we cheered, and split up.
"Be careful Digidestined!" Hummamon called after us.
Kuwagamon, Wendy, Sparrowmon, Voltomon and I approached the base from the dense forest where our camp had been in. We scouted the area, and decided to Digivolve right away. April, Floramon, Randy, Flamemon, and Zerumon went out of the forest and approached the base from a large field. Nick, Syakomon, Shellmon, and Frigimon went strait into the swampland, and approached the Numemon Swamp.
"There's the Drimogemon! Digivolve!" Kuwagamon yelled to us, and used a Scissor Claws on the five Drill Digimon.
"You heard him!" I said to Voltomon and Sparrowmon.
"Voltomon Digivolve to..... Shockmon!"
"Sparrowmon Digivolve to..... Falcomon!"
Shockmon and Falcomon flew up to Kuwagamon, and blasted the Drimogemon with their attacks. When the dust cloud disappeared, there were four holes in the ground.
"They're underground, watch oooooouttttttt!" Wendy exclaimed, surprised, as the earth began to crumble below us. Before we could fall into the Drimogemon's pit, Shockmon and Falcomon swooped down and we landed on their backs. The Drimogemon were now above ground.
"Shock Beam!" "Falcon's Wind!" "Scissor Claws!" our team blasted them, and their curses disintegrated.
"Whew!" Wendy and I said, and we flew up toward our next challenge.
"Oh man, who farted?" Randy asked, disgusted.
"Shut up! That means we're getting closer to the Raremon, numbskull!" April exclaimed.
"We are close! You guys had better Digivolve, because they're headed right this way!" Zerumon yelled back to us from the top of the hill we had been climbing. We gasped.
"Ready?" Flamemon asked.
"Go kick some stinky butt!" Randy exclaimed.
"Flamemon Digivolve to..... Meramon!"
"Floramon Digivolve to..... Pansymon!"
"Bear Blaster!" Zerumon exclaimed, and blasted one of the Raremon.
"Breath of Decay!" the other two exclaimed, and tagged her with blasts of acid spray. She rolled down the hill toward us.
"We've gotcha!" April said, as she and Randy caught the rolling Bear Digimon.
"Stinging Petals!" "Roaring Flames!" Pansymon and Meramon yelled from behind us, and rushed up to the hill. They blasted their attacks at the Raremon. We ran up to the hill with Zerumon, and saw the three Raremon.
"You guys stink, Flower Shower!" Zerumon exclaimed, and rained flowers down to them, neutralizing the Raremon's unpleasant scents.
"Yuck! Eeww!" the Raremon exclaimed, and started to draw back.
"They react to good smelling things the way we do to bad smelling things!" April exclaimed.
"Then, I say we use that to our advantage!" Pansymon said, and did a double front flip over the Raremon, landing behind them.
"Flower Shower!" "Pansy Pollen!" Zerumon and Pansymon attacked together, spraying good smelling pollen all over the battle field. The Raremon had no where to go, and shriveled up. Their curses left them, and disintegrated.
"Roaring Flame!" Meramon said, burning up the sweet scents for the Raremon, as they were leaving, headed for up the mountain, toward Will.
"Syakomon Digivolve to.... Marinedramon!"
"These Numemon are really beginning to get on my nerves!" Nick exclaimed.
"Do we have to uncurse all of them?" Marinedramon asked, punching away an attacking Numemon. The Numemon landed a few feet away, and released it's curse.
"Yes, I'm afraid so," Frigimon said. Suddenly, all of the Numemon in the swamp retreated and swam back underwater.
"Uhh... maybe they've surrendered?" Nick asked.
"I wouldn't count on it, but I might as well go check," Shellmon said, jumping into the filthy water. All of a sudden, a barrage of....something, came from out of the water. The Numemon were attacking.... if you could call that attacking.
"Subzero Ice Punch!" Frigimon said, freezing the oncoming attacks. The Numemon rose up out of the swamp, angrily.
"Uhh...." Nick said, uneasily. Shellmon came out of the water, on the other side of the Numemon army. Suddenly, Nick got an idea.
"I know how to uncurse all of them at once, without having to hurt them!" Nick exclaimed.
"How?" Marinedramon asked.
"Everyone aim your attacks for the center of the Numemon. If things go like I think they will, the Hydro Blaster attacks should freeze from the Subzero Ice Punch, freezing all of the Numemon!" Nick explained.
"It's worth a shot, OK!" Frigimon replied.
"Hydro Blaster!" Shellmon and Marinedramon said at the same time.
"Subzero Ice Punch!" Frigimon froze their attacks in the center of the Numemon, and the chilling ice spread over all of the Numemon.
"Now break the ice, Marinedramon!" Nick exclaimed, and Marinedramon punched the sheet of ice. It broke, and the Numemon were all freed from the ice, and their curses.
Next Chapter: The battles with Deltamon's remaining minions come to a close, and the Digidestined make it to the top! But, what will they find there?
