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: Polarmon. Oh, and just so you know, the Digi-Alps are also my own creation. OK, enjoy the story!
Chapter Eleven: Crossing the Digi-Alps
"Wow, that is so cool!" Yolei exclaimed.
"We had a run-in with a Deltamon once, of course the one you guys fought must have been much stronger," Davis remarked.
"So, Gennai knew you guys too, huh?" Izzy asked.
"Yup! And if he was still around, he would probably be happy to see all of us together," T.K. remarked.
"Probably, although this isn't all of the Digidestined, by far," Kari said.
"Well, I'm sure we'll get the chance to meet all of the other Digidestined some day, but right now I should continue with my story," I said.
"Right... so you beat Deltamon, where did you head next?" Cody asked.
Flashback:
"Where to next guys?" April asked, as we walked along.
"The canteens and food supplies are running dry, so we'd better stock up on food first," Nick said, after drinking the last of his canteen.
"Then where?" Floramon asked.
"I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that map Hummamon made for us will help us to decide," I said, and rummaged around in my backpack until I found it.
"OK, there are only so many ways we can go from here, since this seems to be a peninsula. We can either head to the south and cross the ocean, the east...and cross the ocean, the west and... cross the ocean, or the North and cross these mountains. Which shall it be?" Randy asked, a little cross about the fact that we either had to sail the ocean blue or climb yet more mountains.
"There's no point in crossing the ocean if we don't know what's on the other side, and besides, peninsulas are always connected to a larger landform, so we should go to the north and cross the mountains," Wendy reasoned.
"Sounds like a plan, all in favor say 'I'." I said.
"I" everyone agreed in unison. Crossing mountains wasn't high on anyone's priority list, but we didn't exactly have a lot of options.
"OK, so we should stock up on a lot of food and water, and get some warmer clothing than this, because the weather's bound to be cold in the mountains," Will said.
"Let's head to Deramon's first, and check it out," Tapirmon suggested.
"Allrightythen, let's go!" Randy exclaimed, and we started off, following the map and Airdramon's directions.
"Welcome to my farm Digidestined!" Deramon greeted us.
"Hi!" we all answered.
"Thank you so much for beating Deltamon, and feel free to help yourself to as much food as you can carry," the birdlike Digimon with a bush growing out of it's back, continued.
"Thank you, and we'll try not to take too much," Floramon replied, and we started off. First, we got a lot of meat, because we would definitely need it for the trip. We got corn, tomatoes, beans, a little celery, and some other strange but sweet tasting plants.
"Thank you again Deramon, we really appreciate it," Voltomon thanked the kind Deramon.
"No trouble at all, now, is there anything else I can help you with?" Deramon asked.
"Actually, there is. We are planning to cross the mountains to the North, and we were wondering if we could get a hold of some warm clothing for the trip," I said.
"Sorry, I can't help you. But, I do know someone who might be able to. Go talk to my friend Coelamon out by the waterfront. He sells a lot of unusual items at his shop..." Deramon said.
"Ok, great, thanks Deramon!" Syakomon said, and we started off for the waterfront.
"Hello, are you Coelamon?" Wendy asked.
"Speaking, now who are you and why are you here?" the fish Digimon asked.
"Deramon told us you sell a lot of unusual items..." Randy started, but Nick butted in. "By the way, we're the Digidestined," he said.
"The Digidestined? Well why didn't you say that in the first place? Welcome to my shop! I indeed sell a lot of strange and unusual items in my shop of wonders, now what exactly are you looking for?" he asked, rolling out a blanket with a lot of objects on it. Normal objects to us, though. They seemed like ordinary things to us, because they were from the real world.
"Hey, this is a CD!" Wendy exclaimed, picking up the small, unmarked silver disc.
"Call it whatever you want, but it is shiny and reflective, perfect for jewelry," Coelamon said, trying to make a sale. April got out her CD player and slid it into it.
"Wow, that's a strange looking gadget!" Coelamon exclaimed at the sight of it, with a greedy look in his eyes.
"Forget it, the CD player stays with me," April said sharply, and then grimaced and ripped off her headphones.
"What is it?" Floramon asked.
"The only thing on this CD is static...very loud static," she said, angrily.
"It must not be a music CD then," I said, taking it from her, and getting out my fusion computer.
"Wow! That's even MORE strange looking than that other thing!" Coelamon exclaimed.
"No chance," I said to him, and put the CD in. I quickly booted it up, and accessed it. There were several files on it, written in strange symbols.
"I can't read this," I said, baffled.
"Looks Japanese, maybe if you figured out how to activate the translator," Will said, pointing to the last file, which had the translator symbol beside it. I clicked on it, and the filenames immediately turned to English.
"Looks like the files from a computer game..." I said, scrolling through the first one. I stopped abruptly at the word Digimon.
"What's this doing here?" I asked, and started reading through it.
"Ahem, are you gonna buy that or what?" Coelamon asked impatiently.
"Sure, how much do you want?" I asked, taking a few quarters out of my pocket,
"I sure can't name a price, but I'll trade you for one of those shiny disc looking things," Coelamon said.
"What these quarters?" I asked.
"Just one, more than one would be a rip-off," Coelamon said. I handed the quarter to him, wondering how big this fish's brain was.
"Now then, continue shopping children!" he exclaimed, and we looked over the rest of the objects on his blanket. We found and bought a giant umbrella, a couple of slickers and raincoats, a couple of extra canteens, a flashlight, and the batteries out of a TV remote. It only cost us a few more quarters and dimes! The rest of his merchandise was just basically junk, we had no use for it.
"Well, I guess we'll have to grin and bear the cold," Sparrowmon said.
"Guess so," Wendy replied.
"Where now?" Flamemon asked.
"Let's go to Shellmon's lake, I need to refill my canteen, anyway," Nick said, and so we set off in that direction.
"Digidestined! It's good to see you again! Back so soon?" Shellmon asked, as we arrived at his lake.
"Yep. We're going to cross the mountains to the North, and we need to stock up," I said.
"Well, I'll get plenty of fish for you, and you can refill from the water in that spring, it is clean and clear," Shellmon said, and dove down underwater. We refilled our soda bottles and canteens, and waited for Shellmon to resurface. Syakomon went for a swim, and we took the time to relax, and plan our route over the Digi Alps. Shellmon resurfaced with a net full of fish, which we dried up and packed away with the meat. We were all set, except we could still use a few more Digi-Carrots and Xarians. We hiked a few more miles, and got them from Kuwagamon. We sat up camp near there, with only a few miles to the base of the Digi-Alps.
We bade our friends Zerumon, Frigimon, Kuwagamon, Airdramon, Shellmon, and Deramon goodbye as we headed off for the DigiAlps, and a brand new adventure. As we climbed, the temperature began to drop. Soon, we were shivering and trudging along in a foot of snow, on our way to the mountain pass that Frigimon had told us about. What he couldn't tell us is who we would meet up in the DigiAlps. The last time he had been there, the DigiAlps had been a peaceful place for snowy Digimon to hang out. As we neared the mountain pass, I kept getting the feeling we were being watched. I soon found out that I was right; we were being watched by our newest enemies.
"So, those are the Digidestined, huh? They don't look so tough," said a bear like Digimon from above the mountain pass.
"Don't forget, they were strong enough to defeat Deltamon, and he is much more powerful than us," said another bear like Digimon.
"Let's test their strength, so we can plan how to beat them," said the first Digimon.
"Good idea, but we shouldn't battle them ourselves, we're outnumbered," the second one said.
"Let's get some of our slaves to do it, oh Mojyamon, Frigimon!" the first one yelled, and a band of Frigimon and Mojyamon appeared.
"Attack those kids and Digimon down there!" both of the bear Digimon said at the same time.
"What do you think about it, Will?" April asked, but before Will could respond, the ground shook.
"What was that?" I asked, and we looked up. There were two high walls of snow on both sides of us, and on top of them, several Digimon appeared.
"Look, those guys must be relatives of Frigimon!" Randy exclaimed, recognizing the five Frigimon on our left.
"Who are they?" Nick asked, pointing to the hairy Digimon on our right.
"They are Mojyamon. They are frosty Champion Digimon of the northern regions. Their Bone Boomerang attack will make your head spin!" I said, with my fusion computer out.
"Are they friends or enemies?" Will asked, nervously.
"Ha ha! They're enemies, you fools!" two voices exclaimed, from both sides of us. From behind the Frigimon and Mojyamon, two bear like Digimon stomped up.
"Uh oh!" Wendy exclaimed.
"I think I know who our newest enemies are!" April exclaimed.
"Who are they, any way?" Randy asked.
"Polarmon. Polar bear Digimon with a devastating Ice Bear Claw attack. They are Champion Digimon," I read off of the fusion computer's screen.
"Go and get them!" the Polarmon exclaimed, and at their words, the Frigimon and Mojyamon jumped down.
"We're outnumbered, two to one, not to mention the Polarmon!" Will exclaimed.
"Are they cursed?" I asked.
"No, they are normal Digimon, but I think they are the Polarmons' slaves!" Sparrowmon said. The Mojyamon and Frigimon stomped closer to us.
"There's no escaping, we have to fight!" Flamemon exclaimed, and our Digimon looked up at us, eagerly. We nodded.
"Digivolve!" we all said.
"Voltomon Digivolve to... Shockmon!"
"Flamemon Digivolve to... Meramon!"
"Floramon Digivolve to... Pansymon!"
"Syakomon Digivolve to.. Marinedramon!"
"Sparrowmon Digivolve to.. Falcomon!"
"Tapirmon Digivolve to.. Pyliomon!"
"Go get ém, but don't destroy them!" April exclaimed. Our Digimon jumped forward, to the oncoming Frigimon and Mojyamon.
"Shock Beam!" Shockmon tagged a couple of Mojyamon.
"Falcon's Wind!" Falcomon picked up a couple of Frigimon with a whirlwind.
"Meramon!" she exclaimed, and Meramon shot a fireball into the Wind.
"Roaring Flames!" he exclaimed.
"Asteroid Smash!" Pyliomon dropped a large boulder onto four Mojyamon.
"Thorn Vines!" Pansymon tied the rest together with her vines.
"Everyone, now!" Randy and I exclaimed.
"Shock Beam!" "Falcon's Wind!" "Roaring Flames!" "Hydro Blast!" "Asteroid Smash!" the rest of the Digimon hit them with their attacks. The Mojyamon and Frigimon collapsed onto the ground, tired.
"Wow, they're strong!" one Polarmon exclaimed.
"Let's go!" the other Polarmon said, scared, and they took off.
"Chickens!" Nick yelled
after them. With their threat gone, the Champion Digimon went back to Rookie.
"That was easy!"
Syakomon said, happily.
"Yeah, a little too easy," Will said. We all turned to him, surprised.
"What do you mean?" Sparrowmon asked.
"Well, it was almost like they wanted us to win." Will replied.
"Maybe they were testing our strength," April suggested.
"Maybe, but why?" I asked.
"There's no telling," Randy replied. Suddenly, we all heard a strange sound.
"Sorry, but that's my stomach. I'm hungry, all that Digivolving makes me hungry," Voltomon said.
"Well, it has been a while since we ate last," April said.
"Let's find somewhere to stop and eat, then." Flamemon said.
"Right!" Wendy said.
"Well, we do know one thing, we aren't leaving the DigiAlps until we free them from the Polarmons' control," Floramon said.
"Right!" we all said. We eventually dug a snow cave, with Meramon's help, and stopped there for a while. We ended up spending the night, since we needed to stay warm during the cold snowstorm that brewed.
In the morning, we set off again, headed for the pass we had been traveling along when we were first attacked.
"They're stronger than we thought, brother," one Polarmon said.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean that we can't beat them, we just have to come up with a plan," the other Polarmon said.
"Well, they are incredibly strong as a team, but what if we were to split them up?" the first Polarmon asked.
"Great idea! We'll split them up into two groups, and they'll be easier to handle then," the second Polarmon said.
"But how will we split them up?" the first Polarmon asked.
"How about an avalanche?" the second Polarmon suggested.
"Brilliant, Polarmon!" the first Polarmon exclaimed.
"You said it, Polarmon!" the second replied.
"We can handle the Polarmon brothers easily, but first we have to find them," Tapirmon replied.
"Right, and we've also got to be able to handle any more of the Polarmons' slaves that they might have," April reminded Tapirmon.
"Don't worry, we can handle it!" Voltomon exclaimed.
"Yup! After all, we defeated Deltamon, how tough can these two be?" I asked. Suddenly, the ground shook.
"Wha?" Flamemon asked.
"Huh?" we asked, looking around for the cause of the shaking.
"LOOK OUT!" Will yelled, and we looked up, in time to see a snow avalanche headed our way. We were hit by the snow before we could get out of the way! We each fell off the edge of the cliff behind us. The snow fell between us, splitting the six of us into two groups of three.
"Voltomon, Digivolve!"
"Floramon, Digivolve!" April and I exclaimed, falling to one side, along with Nick and Syakomon.
"Voltomon... Floramon... Digivolve to...."
"Shockmon!" "Pansymon!"
"Hang on!" Shockmon and Pansymon said at the same time. Shockmon caught me and Nick on her back, and Pansymon grabbed onto a huge rock with her vines. April had a hold of Pansymon. The snow fell around us, and disappeared. We looked around, and tried to spot the others, but with no luck.
"Let's get to the ground," Shockmon said, and Pansymon grabbed Shockmon with her vines. We flew down to the ground.
"Are you guys ok?" Pyliomon asked, with Will riding on his back.
"Yeah, we're just fine," Wendy answered, riding on Falcomon's back with Randy and Flamemon behind her.
"Good, let's go to the ground and try to find the others," Falcomon said, and they too flew down.
Next Chapter: With the team split up into two groups, how will the Digidestined manage? While the evil Polarmon brothers formulate a plan to annihilate them, what new adventures will the split up Digidestined get into?
