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: Aeromarinedramon, Naturamon, Demoncherrymon, Crowmon. OK, enjoy the story!

Chapter Twenty-Three: Two New Elementals

            Nick and Syakomon landed in a lake. After a brief swim to the surface, Nick wiped the hair out of his face, and looked around.

            "Why'd we have to be transported to a lake?" Nick asked.

            "I don't know, but it certainly plays to our advantage," Syakomon, floating nearby, said.

            "Hey, shouldn't you sink?" Nick asked.

            "If I want to sink, I can fill my shell's inner pockets with water. Otherwise, I'll float," Syakomon explained.

            "Oh, well, whatever. Let's just get to shore. Gee, I hope the Digivice is waterproof," Nick said, and began his swim to the shore. In the middle of their swim, they were interrupted by a couple of blasts of dark energy in front of them. Nick shook his head free of the water that had been splashed on him, and looked up to see two strange looking Digimon. They looked like large, flying dog/lizard/dragon things. They were completely black, and had wings similar to a raven's coming out of their backs. Their tails and limbs were huge, compared to their bodies.

            "What are those?" Nick asked.

            "I think they're Devidramon. I don't know much about them, except that they are Champion Digimon with bad tempers, and attacks called Dark Pulse," Syakomon said. They shot their attacks again, only to miss, and splash more water on Nick. He reached into his pocket, and took out his Digivice.

            "Syakomon Digivolve to.... Marinedramon!"

            "I guess it is waterproof," Nick said.

            "Hydro Blaster!" Marinedramon exclaimed, and shot two blasts of water into the attacking Devidramon.

            "Dark Pulse!" they exclaimed, and attacked together. Marinedramon dove underwater, and evaded the attacks. Nick swam frantically towards the shore. The Devidramon, distracted by Marinedramon, didn't even see him. Nick reached the shore, and got out of the water, panting. Suddenly, behind the Devidramon, Marinedramon jumped out of the water, and surprised them.

            "Hydro Punch!" Marinedramon punched both of them, knocking them senseless, and they crashed into the shore. Marinedramon landed back in the water. The Devidramon slowly got up, and flew away, ashamed. Nick applauded from the shore.

            "Great job, Marinedramon!" he exclaimed, and suddenly, he saw something in the water behind Marinedramon. 

            "Marinedramon! Behind you!" He yelled, and pointed behind him. Before Marinedramon could react, he was caught in the grip of a sea serpent. This sea serpent had a metal covering on his head, and a spike shaped like a lightning bolt sticking out of it. It had red scales on it's back, and a white belly. The serpent laughed, evilly.

            "Who are you?" Nick asked.

            "I am the guardian of this lake, Megaseadramon! You are trespassing!" the serpent yelled.

            "Please let us explain, an evil Digimon transported us here, we didn't come by our own free will!" Nick exclaimed.

            "Oh, so an evil Digimon sent you here, eh? Well, there's a good reason for that!" Megaseadramon bellowed, and his eyes glowed red.

            "I bet you're in Skullgreymon's army, huh?" Marinedramon choked out, and gasped in pain as Megaseadramon tightened his hold on him.

            "What was your first clue?" Megaseadramon asked, and tightened it further. Nick looked on, frantically. He looked down at the Digivice and saw that there was no one else around to help him.

            'It's all up to me! Marinedramon's in trouble and I've got to do something to help him! Oh, I just wish there was something I could do!' Nick thought. Suddenly, a familiar sensation engulfed him. If felt like the first time Syakomon Digivolved into Marinedramon back when they were fighting Shellmon. His Digivice in his hand gave off a bright blue light. Megaseadramon was so surprised that he loosened his grip on Marinedramon, letting him fall into the water, gasping for breath. The Digivice changed in his hands, and he knew what was going on.

            "Aquatic Armor Energize!" he yelled, and held up the Digivice, now in it's new form. All the blue light surrounding him formed a beam of intense blue light, which shot from the Digivice, and hit Marinedramon.

            "Marinedramon Element Digivolve to.... Aeromarinedramon!"

            "What? No! This can't be!" Megaseadramon exclaimed. Hovering in front of him was a Digimon who looked a lot like Marinedramon, except he was larger, much larger, with gigantic wings sprouting out of his back. He had strange metallic armor on his body, which sort of looked like it was water.

            "All right! You Digivolved!" Nick yelled, happily. Aeromarinedramon nodded, and turned back to Megaseadramon.

            "I am Aeromarinedramon, the guardian beast of water. I Element Digivolve using the Aquatic Elemental. My Ocean's Fury attack summons the power of water to help me," Aeromarinedramon said.

            "Oh, don't think a little water's gonna scare me, big and ugly, 'cause I happen to live in water," Megaseadramon replied, getting into a fighting stance. Aeromarinedramon did the same.

            "Tell me, Megaseadramon, are you evil by your own free will?" Aeromarinedramon asked, startling Megaseadramon.

            "What? Of course I'm evil by my own free will!" Megaseadramon bellowed back.

            "But why?" Aeromarinedramon asked.

            "Why does it concern you? I'm evil because I want to be evil. I live to be evil." Megaseadramon replied.

            "Why is it you like to be evil?" Aeromarinedramon asked.

            "Because," Megaseadramon started, narrowing his eyes in annoyance, "I live for the taste of victory over weakling freedom fighters and Digidestined like you! Thunder Javelin!" He shot a bolt of lightning out of the bolt on his head. Aeromarinedramon was hit, and crashed into the water. He came up from underwater, and punched Megaseadramon upward. The sea serpent landed a few feet away, and regained his posture.

            "Giga Ice Blast!" Megaseadramon said, and Aeromarinedramon flew up into the air, away from the blast.

            "Ocean's Fury!" Aeromarinedramon exclaimed, glowing bright blue, and slammed into Megaseadramon with such a force that the sea serpent was smashed into the shore opposite of Nick. Nick looked on with awe.

            "Thunder Javelin!" Aeromarinedramon dodged.

            "Thunder Javelin!" again, Aeromarinedramon dodged.

            "Is that the best you can do?" Aeromarinedramon asked

            "Giga Ice Blast!" Megaseadramon yelled, but this time aimed it straight at Nick

            "Ocean's Fury!" the attack was blown out of the way by a blast of water.

            "Thunder Javelin!" before Aeromarinedramon could react, he was hit by a blast

of electricity. He fell to the ground, stunned.

            "Time to end this!" with that, all the water in the lake began to swirl upward.

Aeromarinedramon flew high in the sky, and the water in the lake swirled up, and into a huge ball which he seemed to be holding above his head. Megaseadramon and Nick gasped.

            "No! Giga Ice-" Megaseadramon exclaimed, but never got to finish.          

            "Ocean's Fury!" He threw the ball of water at Megaseadramon with all his might. When the water had all returned to the lake and the lake returned to normal, Megaseadramon was nowhere to be found. He had been destroyed! Nick looked at his Digivice. The edges of the new Digivice were colored so that they looked like water. He noticed five blinking lights on a grid around him.

            "Aeromarinedramon, I can see where the others are now, we'd better get going!" Nick exclaimed to his new Digimon.

            "Right, I'll fly you there!" Aeromarinedramon said, and flew over to shore.

            April and Floramon were transported to a meadow.

            "I wonder why Waruwizardmon transported us here?" April asked.

            "I don't know. I think it was on purpose though," Floramon said.

            "What do you mean?" April asked.

            "Check your Digivice," Floramon said. She took out the Digivice.

            "Hey, you're right, it was on purpose! We're either really far away from the others, or this weird forest is blocking the signal from their Digivices," April exclaimed.

            "Do you think there are evil Digimon here?" April asked, a little scared.

            "Probably, but nothing I can't handle!" Floramon replied, trying to reassure her.

            "I hope so," April replied, and they started off into the woods.       

            "I hope we can find the others," Floramon said, stepping underneath a fallen tree, which April had to jump over.

            "Yeah, and before we find some evil Digimon in Skullgreymon's army," April replied. They continued walking, not knowing that they were being watched from the treetops by a few Crowmon, and Demonfloramon.           

            "This will be easy," Demonfloramon said, looking down at April and Floramon.

            "What are your orders, master?" a Crowmon, apparently the leader of the Crowmon, asked.

            "I want you to attack them by surprise. If the Floramon Digivolves, you may have some trouble. Other than that, take no prisoners. Master Skullgreymon has ordered me and the rest of the generals in his army to destroy them at all costs," Demonfloramon replied, with an evil look in her eye.

            "Yes master. Crowmon, assemble!" the lead Crowmon exclaimed. The Crowmon flew down from their perches to hover in front of the lead Crowmon.

            "Listen up troops..." he began.

            "Huh, you'd think by now we would have heard something, like a bird chirping or a squirrel....this forest is way too quiet," April said, nervously.

            "That can't be good. That means trouble's on the way...I can feel it," Floramon replied, shivering once again. They continued, uneasily. Suddenly, they did hear something, but not a bird chirping...but a bird crowing.

            "What was that?" Floramon asked, startled.

            "A crow?" April asked. More crows called from everywhere around them.

            "Aren't crows supposed to be a sign of evil?" April asked.

            "I hope not!" Floramon replied. The crows were getting louder, and closer, until finally, they emerged from the trees, and hovered in the air around them, in a circle.

            "Those don't look like normal crows to me!" April asked, fearfully.

            "They aren't, they're Crowmon!" Floramon replied.

            "Crowmon?" April asked.

            "Yes, we are the Crowmon! We're Champion Digimon. Watch out for our Crow Call attack!" one Crowmon, the leader, said.

            "They're Champions?" Floramon asked. There were at least 12 of them! Could she fight them all off?

            "Let's give it our best shot, you know what to do!" April exclaimed, and held up her Digivice.                       

            "Right! Floramon Digivolve to... Pansymon!"

           "Stinging Petals!" "Crow's Call!" The Stinging Petals hit one Crowmon, and he fell to the ground. Pansymon jumped out of the path of the Crow's Call.

            "Crow's Call!" four attacked at once. She ducked, and let them hit each other.

            "Pansy Vines!" She wrapped her vines around all four attacking Crowmon, and slammed them all against a tree. They slid to the ground, beaten.

            "Crow's Call!" Pansymon was hit by two attacks. She landed on her feet, and turned around.

            "Stinging Petals!" the attacking Crowmon were blasted backwards.

            "Crow's Call!" the remaining Crowmon all attacked her at once. She was hit by five blasts of energy, and slammed toward a tree. She quickly countered, grabbing onto a branch with her vines, and doing an aerial somersault, so she was headed back for the Crowmon.          

            "Stinging Petals!" the attack hit all the Crowmon, and they shielded their faces. Pansymon slammed into two, which made them crash into the ground. She turned around to the remaining three.

            "Pansy Vines!" she wrapped her vines around all of them, and slammed them into a tree. They hit the ground, unconscious.

            "Yea! Go Pansymon!" April cheered. They were still being watched. The eyes of Demonfloramon looked on with murderous rage.

            "How DARE they take out my flock of Crowmon?? They'll pay for that!!" Demonfloramon exclaimed. Suddenly, a twig tapped her on the shoulder. She gasped, and turned around, to see a large, treelike Digimon. It looked like Cherrymon, only its bark was black, and the leaves on its head were a dark, dark shade of green.

            "Ah, Demoncherrymon, so good of you to come. I have a favor to ask of you, please go destroy that girl and her Digimon," Demonfloramon said, gesturing to Pansymon and April.

            "Those Crowmon were cake compared to you!" April said, and Pansymon blushed.

            "I can't believe they were at the Champion level, though," Pansymon said. Suddenly, an evil laugh was heard. April and Pansymon turned to the direction the voice was coming from, only to see Demonfloramon and another Digimon step out of the undergrowth. The new Digimon looked like Cherrymon, only darker.

            "Allow me to introduce Demoncherrymon, the downfall of the flower Digidestined," Demonfloramon said, and laughed evilly.

            "Uh oh," April said. Pansymon took up a fighting stance.

            "Don't bother trying to beat me. I'm an Ultimate Digimon. My Dark Pelter attack will be able to easily take you out, my pretty," Demoncherrymon said. Pansymon glared at him.

            "Well, Demoncherrymon, get to work. We don't have much time to waste," Demonfloramon said, and Demoncherrymon immediately shot a stream of leaves at Pansymon. Pansymon jumped, and the leaves crashed into a tree, slicing it open. The tree fell in the other direction, with a thud. Pansymon hung suspended from a branch, looking on with fear. April looked on with the same feeling.

            "Dark Pelter!" Pansymon jumped out of the way again.

            "Pansy Vines!" Pansymon wrapped her vines around Demoncherrymon. She landed, and attempted to pull Demoncherrymon off of his feet with the vines, but to no avail. He was rooted to the ground. He laughed maniacally, and took a swipe at Pansymon with his hand. She let go with the vines, and jumped.

            "Stinging Petals!" the attack hit him, dead in the face, but only bounced off his rock hard bark.

            "HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Can't you see your attacks are useless? You're doomed!" Demoncherrymon exclaimed, and punched Pansymon with one of his hands. She smashed into a tree, and fell to the ground.

            "Dark Pelter!" Demoncherrymon started.

            "NOOOOOO!!!!!" April exclaimed, and slammed a large branch into the back of Demoncherrymon with all the strength she could muster. He stopped, and turned around.

            "Oh, so you want to fight? You pathetic human! That barely stung!" Demoncherrymon started. April glared at him, and swung the branch again, this time breaking it in his face.  

            "OWWW!!! You'll pay for that you little witch!" Demoncherrymon screamed, brushing the bits of wood out of his eyes and mouth. April gasped, and her Digivice suddenly started to glow a bright green. Demoncherrymon shaded his eyes with his hands. She took her Digivice out of her pocket. The glow engulfed the whole clearing they were in. Pansymon got up, with a newfound strength. April could feel the Digivice beginning to change shape. She closed her eyes, knowing what to do.

            "Floral Armor Energize!" a beam of green light hit Pansymon, and she glowed, beginning to change shape.

            "Pansymon Element Digivolve to... Naturamon!" the light around April died down, and Demoncherrymon took his hands away from his face.

            "Now you're gonna get it blondie!" he yelled, and swiped at her with his hands, only to have them stop in midair. Two sets of vines were wrapped around his wrists from behind. He suddenly tipped over backwards, and slammed into the ground.

            "OW!" Demoncherrymon said. The vines let go of his hands, and returned to their owner; Naturamon. Standing behind him was a Digimon that looked to be about the same size as Electramon. She looked like Pansymon, with feet that looked like the roots of a tree. She still had a pansy on her head, and vines for hair. She wore green armor that seemed to be metallic on her arms, legs, and body. Demoncherrymon got up, and faced his new opponent.

            "What's this? An element Digimon? HA! I'll beat you too!" Demoncherrymon said. Naturamon spoke up.

            "My name is Naturamon, the guardian of Plants. I'll use my Nature's Fury attack to defend what is right," she said.

            "So what? My name is Demoncherrymon, and your name is Dead! HA!" Demoncherrymon replied, and prepared to attack. Naturamon didn't seem the least bit concerned.

            "Dark Pelter!" Demoncherrymon said. Naturamon simply held up her arms, which had metallic armor all over them, and the leaves bounced off. Demoncherrymon gasped.

            "This is Chroma-Digizoid armor, don't think your leaves will be able to penetrate it," Naturamon said, warning him. Demoncherrymon glared at her. He jabbed at her with his arms. She gracefully dodged each jab as if it was nothing.

            "Dark Pelter!" Demoncherrymon tried once more, only to have the attack deflected.

            "You want to fight, huh? Fine. Nature's Fury!" Naturamon said, and jumped back a few feet. A ball of dark green energy appeared in her hands. She held them up, and the ball shot from them and hit Demoncherrymon. He was thrown backwards against a tree. April looked on, surprised. Demoncherrymon weakly got up.

            "Do you give up?" Naturamon asked.

            "Never!" he exclaimed, and hit her with a punch. Naturamon did a couple of flips in the air, and landed gracefully on the ground.

            "Vines!" she yelled, and from her hands shot many vines. She wrapped them all around Demoncherrymon and, using all of her strength, lifted him into the air. April gasped. Naturamon slammed him into the ground. When the dust from where he had been slammed into the ground cleared, he was beginning to fuzz out.

            "I don't understand...how...how did I lose??" Demoncherrymon asked, weakly, then vaporized. Naturamon breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the Digivice started beeping. April took it out. The edges of her new Digivice were different shades of green, to look like plants or leaves. On the screen, five dots surrounded her on a grid.

            "The others are headed toward an area just West of here," April said to Naturamon. Naturamon nodded.

            "Let's go then," she said, and she and April started off to the West.

Next Chapter: With four of the seven Elementals discovered, and four Element Digimon to contend with, the future doesn't look too good for Skullgreymon's minions. When the group finally reunites, the three Dark Generals have a major fight on their hands!
