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 those names, oops, and sorry to whoever created them. Here they are: Pyliomon. OK, enjoy the story! (PS: you get a cookie if you can tell me where the reference to meat growing on a farm comes from!)
Chapter Ten: The End of Deltamon's Curse
On the ground with the others, Tapirmon and I watched as Shockmon, Marinedramon, Meramon, and Pansymon launched attack after attack at Deltamon. He kept blocking and dodging.
"We aren't getting anywhere, where are Falcomon and Wendy?" Nick asked, worriedly.
"They should be back by now," April commented. Pansymon and Shockmon double teamed Deltamon from the air, surprising him, and Marinedramon and Meramon hit him with their attacks, blowing him backwards into the canyon wall.
"All right!" I cheered. Deltamon shot two shots of light, tagging all four of the Champion Digimon, sending them crashing into the ground near us. We ran to them.
"Bear Blaster!" "Snowfall!" "Hydro Blaster!" "Scissor Claws!" our friends Zerumon, Frigimon, Shellmon and Kuwagamon attacked Deltamon, but he blocked.
"You four are beginning to become a nuisance!" Deltamon yelled, and blasted them with a shot of light. They were thrown back, over the side of the mountain.
"Zerumon!" I yelled.
"Oh no!" Randy exclaimed. Pansymon and Marinedramon got back up, and worked together to trip up Deltamon.
"We've got to do something!" Tapirmon exclaimed, and suddenly started to glow.
"Huh?" we all asked, and turned to him. Shockmon and Meramon took off to join Marinedramon and Pansymon in the attack.
"It must be Will, he's close!" April exclaimed. looking frantically around.
"What's happening?" Nick asked.
"Tapirmon's trying to Digivolve, but Will isn't close enough," I said.
"Look, there they are!" April exclaimed, and pointed to deep in the canyon. We all looked, and spotted Falcomon in the distance. Deltamon swatted Marinedramon and Meramon out of his way and into the canyon wall. He turned, but was hit between the eyes by a Shock Beam. Pansymon wrapped her vines around his three heads, and forced them together.
"We can't win this battle with just four Digimon at the Champion level, there's no way!" Nick exclaimed.
"If Tapirmon Digivolves, that would be the turning point in this battle, for sure!" she pointed out.
"But Will and Wendy are too far away..."Randy said, but I interrupted him.
"Not for long," I said, picking up Tapirmon and taking off toward the direction Falcomon was coming from.
"What are you doing?" Randy asked.
"Since Will can't get to Tapirmon, I'm taking Tapirmon to Will!" I yelled, over my shoulder.
"We've got your back, go!" Nick yelled, and I took off in a sprint. I looked up, and Shockmon swooped down to me.
"Need a lift?" she asked.
"You bet!" I exclaimed,
and jumped on her back. She flew up into the sky. Pansymon was beginning to
lose her grip on the vines holding one of Deltamon's heads. He broke free of her
grasp, and snapped one head straight for us!
"Not a chance!"
Pansymon and Meramon said, and blasted one head away. Deltamon roared, and shot
the other two toward us.
"Don't even think it!" Shockmon and Marinedramon exclaimed. Shockmon turned in the air and blasted one head. Marinedramon punched the other out of the way. With that, we took off through the air, toward Falcomon. Tapirmon's glow got brighter and brighter the nearer we got to them.
"Look! It's Shockmon and Kimi!" Wendy exclaimed from Falcomon's back.
"And Tapirmon!" Will said, happily. His Digivice was beeping faster and faster in his hand. Falcomon zoomed through the air toward them.
"Almost there..." I said, as we zipped through the air to meet Wendy and Will.
"Just a few more seconds..." Wendy continued, from Falcomon's back. Suddenly one of Deltamon's heads shot in-between us, forcing Shockmon to go into a dive. I was thrown off of her back, into the air, and over Deltamon's head. I accidentally let go of Tapirmon, and he shot through the air above me.
"Tapirmon!" I yelled, falling. On the other side, Falcomon had stopped short, only a few inches away from Deltamon's head.
"Tapirmon!" Will and Wendy yelled, and Will ran to Falcomon's head. He jumped off of it, and onto Deltamon's head. Just as Tapirmon passed above him, he jumped and grabbed the mini elephant Digimon, and they were thrown backwards, past Falcomon. A huge, bright purple glow filled the area, as the familiar shrieks and beeps sounded.
"Will!" Wendy yelled. They were too late! Suddenly, the glow from Tapirmon got brighter, and the reaction from Will's Digivice got faster. Tapirmon suddenly glowed bright white.
"Tapirmon Digivolve to..... Pyliomon!"
I fell through the air, past Deltamon's huge head, and landed on Shockmon's back. After recovering from the abrupt stop to the fall, we swooped up. The glow from Tapirmon and Will disappeared, and we could now see clearly what had happened. Will was sitting on the back of a reptile-looking Digimon with stone-plated armor all over his body, and wings coming out of his back.
"Pyliomon!" Wendy and I exclaimed at the same time. Deltamon lunged his head toward Pyliomon and Will, but before he could get very far, Pansymon's vines stopped him.
"Way to go Will and Tapirmon!" Nick exclaimed, back on the ground.
"You've turned the tides!" April yelled. Deltamon broke free of Pansymon's vines, and faced his new opponent, Pyliomon.
"Don't think a little Digivolution will stop me, fools!" Deltamon roared, and started up a Triflex Force. He shot the beam directly at Pyliomon and Will! We all gasped.
"Asteroid Smash!" Pyliomon yelled, and blocked the beam with a giant boulder. The beam and boulder slammed into Deltamon, throwing him back against the canyon wall. While he was down, we flew back quickly to rejoin our friends. The six champion Digimon stood, ready to take on Deltamon.
"All right Will!" Nick exclaimed, and high-fived him. Will laughed.
"What are you laughing for kid? You fools will never beat me!" Deltamon roared, stomping back up to his feet.
"We'll just see about that, now won't we?" the normally timid and quiet Will yelled up to him.
"Serpent Bites!" Deltamon exclaimed, and lunged his three heads at the Digimon. They jumped, dodging them, and attacked.
"Tangled Vines!" Pansymon wired all three of his heads shut.
"Shock Beam!" "Feather Strike!" "Hydro Punch!" Shockmon, Falcomon and Marinedramon attacked him. Deltamon thrashed his heads about, slamming Pansymon into the wall in the process. She let go of him with the vines.
"Pansymon!" April yelled.
"Roaring Flames!" Meramon shot a blast of fire at one of Deltamon's heads. He dodged, and blasted Meramon and Marinedramon with two shots of light. From the air, Shockmon, Falcomon and Pyliomon attacked each of his heads. He absorbed the attacks, and hit them with Serpent Bites. They smashed into the ground. We all gasped. Even with Pyliomon, we still couldn't beat Deltamon!
"Now to destroy you, Digidestined!" Deltamon grumbled, and stomped toward us.
"Oh no, run!" Nick yelled and we took off.
"You can run but you can't hide!" Deltamon yelled, and vaporized the rock in front of us. We shielded ourselves from the blast, and took off back the way we came.
"I just love chasing pathetic humans around!" Deltamon said, chuckled, and slammed his tail into the ground in front of us. We were trapped! The Digimon were still to weak to get up!
"This can't be the end!" Wendy exclaimed. Suddenly, our Digivices all started to glow. We got them out and held them up with wonder. Deltamon looked surprised, but then decided to attack us.
"Triflex Force!" he exclaimed, and shot a blue beam of light at us.
"Oh no!" we all yelled, but the light from our Digivices shot out, and hit the Triflex Force head on, deflecting it. Deltamon gasped. The light continued, circling around him, restraining him. On the other side, the Digimon were glowing too, and they got back up.
"The light restored their energy!" Will exclaimed, holding up his Digivice like the rest of us. The six Digimon grouped together in front of Deltamon. The light stopped, and released him.
"Pitiful Digivices! Triflex..." Deltamon exclaimed, but I interrupted him.
"Attack!" I shouted.
"Now!" the others chimed in, in unison. The Digimon leaped forward, and aimed their attacks to one spot.
"Shock Beam!" "Roaring Flames!" "Stinging Petals!" "Hydro Blast!" "Falcon's Wind!" "Asteroid Smash!" the attacks combined into one ball of energy.
"Force!" Deltamon exclaimed, and shot a beam of energy. The ball of energy from our Digimon shot forward, and disintegrated the beam. It hit Deltamon, and spread all around him, causing a gigantic explosion of light. The light faded away, and Deltamon was gone!
"Yeah!!!" we all cheered. Our Digimon began to glow, and returned to their
In-Training forms. This had been a tough battle! We ran up to them and happily scooped them up in our arms.
"You were great!" I exclaimed to Ellmon.
"I know!" Ellmon replied back. We walked with our In-Training Digimon in our arms to the edge of the cliff Zerumon, Frigimon, Kuwagamon, and Shellmon had fallen off of. We looked out over the countryside of the Digital World, and something magical happened. Our Digivices glowed with that white light again, and it spread out over the land. Beams of black light shot up all over the place, and disintegrated. The areas that had been destroyed during our battles with Deltamon and his minions returned to normal. We looked around, awestruck.
"What's happening?" Will asked.
"I'm not sure, but I think those are curses that are disintegrating," April replied.
"That makes perfect sense! Deltamon has been destroyed, so the light from our Digivices is repairing the damage he caused, and driving out the curses!" Wendy exclaimed. The last curses shot into the sky and disappeared, and the light faded. We looked around.
"I wonder what happened to Shellmon and the others?" Nick asked.
"Hey!! Down here!" came a voice from below us. We looked down, and exclaimed in surprise and joy. Zerumon, Frigimon, Kuwagamon and Shellmon were down there, sitting on a stone ledge. There was about ten feet of snow on it, softening the landing.
"We're so glad you're all right!" I yelled down, and we started climbing down. Kuwagamon rose up to where we were, and offered to let us ride on his head. We rode down the mountain on Kuwagamon's head, and Frigimon, Zerumon and Shellmon followed.
"Thank you so much for helping us, we couldn't have made it to the top without you," Wendy thanked Zerumon, Frigimon, Shellmon and Kuwagamon.
"No, thank you! You were the ones that uncursed us, and you also beat Deltamon. We'd still be cursed and under his control if it wasn't for you!" Frigimon exclaimed.
"So? How about a giant victory feast, I'm starving!" Embermon exclaimed.
"After all that Digivolving and battling you did, I don't blame you!" Randy replied.
"We might as well stop here and relax for a while, we've got plenty of food," April said. We all nodded. We prepared a fire with some freshly gathered firewood thanks to Sproutmon and April, with firepower from Embermon. Wendy cooked a pot of soup using Digicarrots and dried fish, while Birdlingmon kept the fire going strong. Nick and Bubblemon fished, and Ellmon and I got more Digicarrots and Xarians. Will, Pebblemon and Kuwagamon got some fresh fruit and a few potatoes from Kuwagamon's orchard and garden. Shellmon and Frigimon got water, while Zerumon helped Wendy cook.
We got back quickly, and started on a Digicarrot/Fish/Potato soup with fruit salad on the side.
"This is going to be the best dinner I've had since we got here!" Will exclaimed, setting down a Digicarrot.
"Probably, although I'd kill for more ingredients than just these," Wendy replied. We were all grouped around the cooking fire, resting.
"Something smells good!" a familiar voice said, coming from behind us.
"Huh?" we all asked, and turned to look, and gasped.
"Airdramon! Long time no see!" I exclaimed, and we all got up and ran to meet him. He flew around the mountain, and landed.
"Where were you? We've been so worried!" April exclaimed, as we rushed up.
"I just woke up, I guess I must have been cursed," Airdramon replied.
"At least you're all right," Nick said.
"Did I hear right? Did you beat Deltamon?" Airdramon asked.
"Yep!" Randy replied, and proceeded to tell him about the battle.
"Wow, that's quite a feat, I'm sure you guys are tired and hungry," Airdramon said, surprised, after hearing the tale.
"You've got that right, by the way, when's that soup gonna be ready, Wendy?" Ellmon asked.
"Just hold your horses! It'll be done in a few minutes!" she replied. Airdramon sniffed the air.
"That soup is missing something," he said.
"It's missing a lot of things, but I cook with what I've got," Wendy replied.
"I'll be right back," Airdramon said, and took to the air.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Will asked.
"It's a surprise! Just wait a few minutes to serve that soup, Wendy!" he exclaimed, and flew off. Wendy looked confused, shrugged her shoulders, and walked back to the soup. We sat down to wait. In about fifteen minutes, Airdramon returned, with a giant bag in his mouth. He sat it down near the fire pot, and told Wendy to open it. She pulled out a bunch of meat, some celery, tomatoes, and corn.
"Wow, Airdramon, where did you get all this food?" she asked.
"My friend Deramon has a farm near here, and he grows all of it. He's got plenty more food growing at his farm too, and he told me to tell you that you could come by any time and you are welcome to take as much as you can carry. He was cursed, and wants to repay you for freeing him," Airdramon replied.
"And...where did you get the meat?" I asked.
"Deramon...he grows it, weren't you listening?" Airdramon asked.
"He grows meat?" Randy asked, but April interrupted him.
"Don't question it Randy, after all this is the Digital World. Anything can happen, including growing meat on a farm. Just be thankful we have some delicious food to eat!" she said. He shook his head.
"I'm surprised I've yet to have a heart attack, after all the weird stuff that's been going on," he said, sighing.
"At least this time it's good weird," Nick added. Wendy threw half the meat into the soup, and Randy and Embermon barbecued the other half. The celery and corn went into the soup, too, and the tomatoes went into the fruit salad.
"Let's eat!" we all exclaimed a few minutes later. We ate the soup out of wooden bowls that Zerumon and Frigimon made out of wood from trees Kuwagamon cut down with Scissor Claws. By the time we got to the fruit salad for desert, we were stuffed. After dinner, we sat around the fire, telling ghost stories all night, and settled down for a peaceful, long sleep, now that Deltamon was gone.
"Hey, wake up everybody, we've got a message from Gennai!" I exclaimed, in the morning. The remaining Digidestined that were still asleep sat up groggily. I looked at Nick and couldn't help but laugh.
"What?" he asked, groggily.
"Might wanna fix your hair, I think a bird built a nest in it overnight," I teased. He felt his head, and then cried out, and frantically dug through his backpack, while I laughed at his misfortune. A few minutes later, were all clustered around me and the fusion computer, including the Rookie Digimon. They had Digivolved overnight.
"Greetings Digidestined, did you beat Deltamon?" Gennai asked.
"Yes," we said, proudly.
"Well, I have some news for you. It seems that when Deltamon was destroyed, his evil was vanquished as well, and the curses left the Digimon throughout the Digital World. All the damage he did was also repaired," he continued.
"We know, we saw it happen," Randy said. Gennai nodded.
"Yes, but I have more news for you. The reason you haven't been returned to the real world is because Deltamon isn't the only evil in the Digital World," Gennai said.
"Wha?" we asked.
"Well, that makes sense. I figured we were brought to the Digital World for a reason, and now I know that reason was to get rid of the evil," I said.
"Yes, and you still aren't done. There are many more evil Digimon out there, just as powerful if not stronger than Deltamon," Gennai warned us.
"So, we have to fight again?" Wendy asked.
"Yes, because if you don't the Digital World could be destroyed," Gennai replied.
"But why do we have to fight? What's so special about us?" Will asked.
"It's complicated. You were chosen from among all the people on the Earth for a reason, I'm just not quite sure what that reason is yet," Gennai said.
"If you don't know, who does?" Nick asked. Suddenly, the picture of Gennai began to get frizzy.
"I'm losing my connection, I'm sorry that I can't tell you more..." Gennai said, and disappeared from the screen.
"Well that was depressing," Randy said.
"Yeah, just what I need to wake up to," I complained.
"What do you think we should do?" Floramon asked.
"I guess we have to fight those other evil Digimon, but I'm not so sure we should," April replied.
"Why?" Tapirmon asked.
"Well, Gennai said that the evil Digimon were just as powerful if not more powerful than Deltamon, and we had a lot of trouble with him. What if we lose?" April said.
"April does make a good point," Wendy said.
"But we have to fight, if we don't the Digital World could be destroyed," I reminded them.
"Besides, how else are we supposed to get back home?" Will said.
"You're right, we should fight, but..." Nick said.
"Listen to yourself Nick!! Don't you have faith in us.... in yourself?" Syakomon asked. The other Digimon nodded. Nick grinned.
"All right, I'm convinced, let's fight! We've got a lot more to lose if we don't," Nick said.
"Who's with us?" Syakomon asked.
"We are!" Voltomon and I exclaimed.
"Us too!" Will and Tapirmon joined.
"You can count on us!" Randy and Flamemon exclaimed.
"I'm going too!" Wendy said.
"Well, I suppose I can't stay here by myself," April said.
"All right, then it's settled. We're going to fight!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah!" the others replied, in unison. Airdramon, Zerumon, Frigimon, Kuwagamon and Shellmon walked up.
"We've got to get headed back to our homes, but we thank you once again Digidestined, and good luck," Zerumon said, and Kuwagamon, Shellmon and Frigimon nodded.
"Remember to stop by my orchard for free fruit and veggies whenever you're in the neighborhood!" Kuwagamon yelled, flying off.
"Yeah, and I'll be happy to supply you with fresh water and fish from my lake," Shellmon said. They walked off into the forest, leaving our group, and Airdramon.
"Remember, you can always count on me, and Deramon will give you all the food you need," Airdramon said, and flew off.
"Goodbye Airdramon!" we exclaimed, and waved to him. Soon, it was just us.
"We sure have some interesting friends," Randy commented.
"Yes, but they are good friends, and you've got to admit, good friends are hard to come by," I replied. We all nodded, and started off.
Next Chapter: Now that Digit Peninsula is free from Deltamon's tyranny and everyone is safe and rested up, it's time for the Digidestined to head for they're next destination: the Digi-Alps. What new adventures await them there?
