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: Kasheramon, Serpentmon, Ravenmon, and Egalamon. Jagamon comes from the card game, although I tweaked his attacks around just a bit. OK, enjoy the story!
Chapter Twenty-Six: Ladydevimon's Nightmare Soldiers
The next morning, we were all relaxing in the cool temperature of Skullgreymon's base. I logged onto his computer, and scanned through his files, looking for any kind of a clue what was going on. I found something.
"Hey, check this out!" I exclaimed, and Nick and April came over. April had been listening to her CD player, and Nick had been, well, relaxing. I pulled up a file on a mysterious Digimon by the name of Myotismon. The file had some information on him, including a picture, and that he was an Ultimate Digimon who used Gristly Wing, Crimson Lightning, and Nightmare Claw. He used to rule the continent of Server, where we were currently exploring.
"A few years ago," I read from the file, "he found the secret to an interdimensional gateway, and used it to go to the Real World, in search of another Digidestined to add to the group of seven who were already battling him. He went through the gate with around a fourth of his army, and left the rest of it in charge of Server,"
"So, Myotismon was the dark Digimon who conquered the Digital World," April said, thoughtfully.
"And he's in the Real World now, that could be trouble," Nick replied.
"Yeah, but it says here that the Digidestined followed him back to the Real World with their Digimon companions, to try and stop him. However, the Digital World was still left in Myotismon's control," I said.
"And so, you six were summoned," a voice said. We turned to my fusion computer, which was open on the control panel. The voice was strange, it didn't sound like Gennai. On the screen was a picture of a catlike Digimon. It looked like a Tiger, with black and pink stripes.
"It's you!" I exclaimed, in realization.
"Huh?" April and Nick asked.
"From the airport! It's the Digimon from the airport!" I replied, turning to them. They blinked, but then seemed to remember.
"Ah, so you remember me, do you?" she asked.
"Who are you?" I finally asked.
"My name is Kasheramon," the Digimon said, although her mouth didn't move.
"Kasheramon?" April asked, stunned. Kasheramon nodded.
"Azulongmon and I are two of the four mega Digimon who serve as guardians of the Digital World," Kasheramon said.
"Ok, so what was this business about us being summoned?" I asked, no longer stunned by Kasheramon's sudden reappearance.
"When Myotismon left, the Digital World was still under his control. After a few years, we summoned you six Digidestined to come to the Digital World and free it from his control...wait, where are the other three children with you?" Kasheramon asked.
"They're in the next room, I could go get them if you want," Nick offered.
"No need, as long as you tell them what I'm about to say," Kasheramon replied.
"Ok, go ahead," I replied.
"Like I was saying, you and your friends were summoned here by Azulongmon and I to free the Digital World from Myotismon's control," Kasheramon continued.
"Ok, so all these Digimon we've been fighting, or at least the ones who were evil, they were in Myotismon's army?" April asked.
"Yes. And, in fact, you are almost done with your quest to free the Digital World. Deltamon, the Polarmon Brothers, Toranmon--or should I say Numerimon--, and Skullgreymon were five of the six major Digimon who were left in charge of the Digital World," Kasheramon informed us.
"Who's the sixth?" April asked.
"A Digimon by the name of Ladydevimon. She rules the Western coast of Server," Kasheramon replied. I turned to the fusion computer and quickly accessed the file on Ladydevimon.
"She's an Ultimate Digimon who's attacks are Darkness Wave and Evil Wing," I read off the screen, and turned the screen back to Kasheramon.
"Unlike the other Digimon you've faced, Ladydevimon is truly evil. She and Myotismon were actually partners, and when Myotismon left for the Real World, he left her in complete control of the rest of his army. So far, the Digimon you've run into were evil, to be sure, but you've shown compassion for them because you knew that they were only following orders, to a certain degree. Ladydevimon isn't following orders, she's giving them, or so I've come to understand," Kasheramon warned.
"Is she the final Digimon in Myotismon's army?" I asked.
"Yes, and after that, the Digital World should be free, and you should be allowed to return home," Kasheramon said. We sighed, with relief, and smiled happily. Only one more Digimon to go!
"Be careful. Although she's and Ultimate Digimon, she is still very powerful, as is her army of Nightmare Soldiers. She can't be taken too lightly," Kasheramon said, and disappeared. We grinned and looked at each other.
"Let's tell the others!" we exclaimed.
"So this Digimon is named Myotismon, and the other Digidestined who were here before us are fighting him in the Real World right now?" Wendy asked, as we walked quickly back to the main control room.
"Yes," I answered.
"And Kasheramon told you guys that Ladydevimon was the final Digimon in his army?" Will asked.
"Yep," Nick replied. We walked into the control room, and I accessed Ladydevimon's Digmon file, letting them get a good look at her.
"Ok, so who's this Kasheramon?" Randy asked. I accessed her file.
"She's one of the four Mega Digimon who are guardians of the Digital World," I explained, letting them get a good look at her. I then turned to Skullgreymon's computer and pulled up Myotismon's file, and started downloading it to the fusion computer.
"Ok, so if we destroy Ladydevimon, we'll have freed the Digital World, and we can finally go back home?" Wendy asked. I nodded.
"That's what Kasheramon told us. Ladydevimon was the final Digimon in Myotismon's army, so by defeating her, we release the Digital World from his control, which was the reason we were brought here in the first place," I explained. Randy, Wendy and Will nodded.
"So what are we standing around here for, let's go get her! The sooner the better, I can't wait to go back home!" Randy exclaimed. I suddenly had a thought.
'Will we get to take the Digimon back with us?' I thought, a little distressed. Although we hadn't spent very much time here in the Digital World, I'd really grown to like little Voltomon. She had saved my life so many times. I downloaded the rest of the file, and we went back to the main room in Skullgreymon's base. We filled up our canteens from the generous supply of water, and said our goodbyes to Skullgreymon's army, who were now free. We started off over the sand, ready to get out of the desert. We were headed West, to Ladydevimon's turf.
"Kasheramon, huh?" Izzy asked, looking at her profile. I typed a few more words into the fusion computer, and accessed Azulongmon's file.
"So far we've only met Azulongmon, but he did tell us there were four guardian Digimon. Kasheramon must be the guardian of you guys," TK hypothesized.
"So you WERE in the Digital World while we were in the Real World fighting Myotismon," Gatomon said.
"Wait a minute, I remember fighting with Ladydevimon, she was one of Piedmon's Nightmare Soldiers," Tentomon said, recalling the battle between him, Angewomon, and Ladydevimon.
"It could've been a different Ladydevimon," Patamon said. I just decided not to spoil the ending and continue with the story.
"Whew, I'm so GLAD to be out of that desert!" April exclaimed. The rest of us agreed whole-heartedly. We were relaxing in the shade of a tree in the middle of a gigantic forest. It had taken us a day and a half to reach the edge of Circuit Desert, but we'd made it anyway!
"I just hope we never have to go back there again!" I replied, as I leaned up against a tree.
"So, how far is it to Ladydevimon's turf?" Randy asked. I got out the fusion computer, and checked the files.
"The forest we're in right now was under Skullgreymon's control too, but Ladydevimon's area starts at the edge of this forest," I said, putting up the computer.
"This is going to be simple, all we do is storm her base, fight a couple of battles with her soldiers, and then vaporize her, right?" Wendy asked. I started to reply, but Randy interrupted me.
"No, I say we whale on her a while first, let her beg for mercy, and THEN vaporize her," Randy said. We looked at him like he was crazy.
"First of all, that's mean, and second of all, we've been through this, we're not whaling on anybody," I replied. Nick nodded.
"Besides, Kasheramon warned us that she would be tougher to beat than we thought. We can't underestimate her," he said. Randy pouted.
"But I wanted to whale on her..." he complained.
"WOULD YOU FORGET ABOUT WHALING ON HER????" Wendy yelled, exasperated.
"Nobody's whaling on ANYBODY, especially YOU, you got that??!!" I exclaimed. Randy looked surprised.
"Who made you the boss of everything?" Randy asked. I sighed, frustrated.
"Well, Sir WHALES-A-LOT," I started, kind of making a play on words, "I'd like to see YOU do a better job," I replied. April and Nick smiled at that. Wendy and Will laughed. I smirked. Randy glared at us.
"Oh, all right. So, fearless leader, what is your order now, oh tyrannical one?" Randy asked. I glared at him.
"Look, it's not like I took over from the beginning and started to order everyone around, you guys just started to follow my lead. I never asked to be the leader," I explained.
"Besides, she's not ordering you to do anything, she's using common sense--oh, just forget it. You'll never understand, no matter how simply we put it for you," Wendy said. Randy looked hurt. We got up, and started toward the edge of the forest, where Ladydevimon's control began.
"Mistress! Mistress! I have urgent news for you!" exclaimed a Demidevimon, as he flew into a room. The room was made of stone and marble, and decorated in black and dark shades of purple. On a throne, made in the shape of a skull and painted black, sat Ladydevimon. This was her palace.
"Yes, yes, what is it?" she asked.
"Skullgreymon has been destroyed! The Digidestined destroyed him!"
"WHAT?" she asked, throwing the glass of wine she'd been holding. It crashed into the marble floor a few feet away, and shattered.
"Yes, they destroyed him, and freed his army. Looks like you're the last Digimon left from Myotismon's army," Demidevimon said. She stood up in a rage when he said that, but her eyes seemed to soften a little when she heard the name 'Myotismon'.
"Well, what are you standing here for? Send some scouts to find out where they are!" she screeched at the Demidevimon.
"Yes Mistress," he replied, and flew out. She put a finger up to her chin, and thought a moment, and then flew out of the room.
We had been walking for a couple of hours now, and we'd made it to the border between Skullgreymon's old area and Ladydevimon's. Surprisingly, there were no Digimon guarding the borders. Randy was still pouting, though I was sure he'd forgotten what about. We were now walking through a forest of huge, scrawny trees. The canopy wasn't as dense as the Enchanted Forest's, and the ground had uneven, large blotches of sunlight every few feet. The deeper we got into the forest, though, the stranger the coloring of the trees got. Originally, they had been a dark greenish color, which was actually pretty strange for the Digiworld, and had gotten progressively darker. Now, the bark on the trees was almost charcoal colored, and the leaves were gray. It gave the whole forest an eerie feeling. I kept getting the feeling that any second now, we'd be ambushed.
"Mistress Ladydevimon! The Digidestined have been spotted inside your territory!" a Demidevimon called to her.
"Perfect," she said, with a grin, and sharply turned her face. "Serpentmon!" she called. A Digimon who looked like a cobra, with his bottom half coiled up, turned his head.
"Yessss, Missstresss?" he asked.
"How is the army coming?" she asked.
"They are all in perfect sssshape, misssstresss," Serpentmon replied.
"Good, then assemble the generals, and send Ravenmon and his troops to attack the Digidestined, I have just been informed that they have entered my territory," Ladydevimon ordered.
"Assss you wissssh, missstressss," Serpentmon said.
"Wow, this forest is beginning to get creepy," April commented. We had stopped. The trees were all completely black or grayish-black. On their bark, twisted shapes appeared, and they almost looked like faces.
"Is there any way we can go around this?" Wendy asked. I looked around, and caught a glimpse of one of the trees, which seemed to have a face on it. I shuddered, and shook my head.
"Nope," I replied.
"Come on you guys, it's just a few black trees with...creepy faces on them," Nick said, looking at one. He too shuddered.
"This is probably just a trick from Ladydevimon," Randy pointed out.
"Right, we just need to ignore these stupid face-trees and pass though. That'll show Ladydevimon that we aren't afraid of her," Will said. With that, we started walking again, passing by those evil looking trees. Suddenly, we heard a bone chilling sound: a wolf howling. It suddenly got cold, and dark. We started suddenly shivering. We weren't shivering from the cold, though, we were shivering because this was like a scene out of a horror movie. The Digimon jumped to defend us, and formed a circle around us.
"I hope this is just another trick from Ladydevimon," Randy said. The rest of us nodded. We suddenly felt a cold wind pass through the area. We shivered some more, and gulped. Suddenly, there was a brilliant flash of light, and the area was lit up. The Digimon tensed, sensing a battle. A bunch of ghostlike things floated into view. April and Wendy screamed. The rest of us were too scared to move, or even scream. Finally, Nick spoke up.
"I hope those are Digimon," he managed to say. I got out the fusion computer, and pointed the port at one of the creatures. The... whatever they were, were floating closer. The Digimon stood their ground, not moving a muscle.
"They are Digimon," I said, a little relieved, "they are Bakemon, ghost Digimon who can change form and use an attack called Shadow Claw,"
"So what are they? Rookies?" Will asked, hopefully.
"They're at the Champion level," I said. The Bakemon floated closer, wailing eerily.
"I guess we should Digivolve," Voltomon said, and we nodded to our Digimon. But, before they could Digivolve, they were each hit with a blast of black light, which stopped their Digivolution. Out of the bushes surrounding us, some more creatures leapt into view.
"Uh oh, aren't those Devilamon?" April asked. There were about ten Devilamon standing below the floating Bakemon now. They grinned.
"Oh no, up in the sky!" Wendy exclaimed, and we looked up. Above us, a flock of Crowmon and about 12 black dragon looking Digimon. I looked them up.
"Those are Devidramon, right Syakomon?" Nick asked. I typed in the name.
"That's them, They're Champion level Digimon who use an attack called Dark Pulse," I said. The flock of Crowmon suddenly parted, allowing another Digimon to fly through. It looked like a Crowmon, but had a silver crown of feathers on it's head, and was larger.
"That's Ravenmon, an Ultimate Digimon. He uses Evil Wind to damage a lot of opponents at the same time," Sparrowmon said, while I analyzed. I nodded.
"This is beginning to get out of hand, let's Digivolve!" Flamemon said, and the others nodded. Before the army could stop them, they had already begun.
"Voltomon Digivolve to... Shockmon!"
"Flamemon Digivolve to... Meramon!"
"Syakomon Digivolve to... Marinedramon!"
"Floramon Digivolve to... Pansymon!"
"Sparrowmon Digivolve to... Falcomon!"
"Tapirmon Digivolve to... Pyliomon!"
"Shock Beam!" A few Bakemon were hit.
"Roaring Flames!" a few Crowmon hit the ground.
"Hydro Blast!" all the Devilamon were shot back into the trees.
"Pansy Vines!" Pansymon caught a hold of a few Crowmon and Bakemon, and Falcomon and Pyliomon attacked them. The Devidramon, Crowmon and Ravenmon fired at the Digimon. They dodged the attacks, and rushed up to meet the rest of the army.
"Lightning Armor Energize!"
"Shockmon Element Digivolve to... Electramon!"
"Flaming Armor Energize!"
"Meramon Element Digivolve to... Tyremeramon!"
"Aquatic Armor Energize!"
"Marinedramon Element Digivolve to... Aeromarinedramon!"
"Floral Armor Energize!"
"Pansymon Element Digivolve to... Naturamon!"
"Electromagnetic Pulse!" Three Devidramon hit the ground.
"Flaming Laser!" five or six Crowmon bit the dust.
"Ocean's Fury!" The rest of the Devidramon were stunned, and stopped flying. They crashed into the trees.
"Nature's Fury!" the remaining Crowmon slammed into the ground near us.
"That wasn't so tough, the only Digimon left is Ravenmon," I said.
"Does Ladydevimon actually know how many Ultimates we have?" Randy asked.
"This was a test, she would've sent more forces to attack us if she knew how many Ultimates we had," Nick said. Randy stared at him blankly. The others nodded.
"Of course!" Randy said, a few second later, and slapped his forehead. We shook our heads at his unending stupidity.
"Give up," Aeromarinedramon said to Ravenmon.
"Or face the consequences," Electramon replied. Ravenmon glared at them.
"How about neither?" he asked, and flew a few feet into the air. The Digimon prepared to attack him, but he attacked first.
"Evil Wind!" he exclaimed, and flapped his wings. A black light spread from his wings, and engulfed the six Digimon. They fell to the ground, suddenly. We gasped, in surprise. Ravenmon laughed.
"Pathetic weakling Element Digimon!" he exclaimed. The four Element Digimon were back up, and flying toward him.
"Electromagnetic Pulse!" Ravenmon dodged, and flew at full force, slamming into Electramon. She fell backwards, and recovered in the air.
"Flaming Laser!" "Hydro Blast!" Tyremeramon and Aeromarinedramon both attacked. Ravenmon ducked, and the attacks collided, causing them to turn into steam. Naturamon tried her luck.
"Vines!" she tried to catch Ravenmon, but he dodged, and hit her with a concentrated blast of black light from his beak. She fell, and crashed into the ground.
"Naturamon!" April yelled. Naturamon groaned, and dedigivolved.
"Electromagnetic--" Electramon started, but Ravenmon tagged her with a blast of light, slamming her into a tree. She dedigivolved.
"Voltomon!" I exclaimed, and caught her as she fell from the tree.
"Flaming Laser!" Tyremeramon glowed bright red, as flames surrounded him. He smashed into Ravenmon, knocking him into Aeromarinedramon. He punched Ravenmon, knocking him towards a tree. Ravenmon recovered in the air, and attacked.
"Evil Wind!" Tyremeramon and Aeromarinedramon were engulfed once again in a black light. Ravenmon tackled both of them, and they smashed into the ground, and dedigivolved. We gasped.
"He took down all four of our Ultimates!" I exclaimed, fearfully.
"Anyone else want to give me their best shot?" Ravenmon asked, looking at Falcomon and Pyliomon.
"This isn't good, he is really strong for an Ultimate," April said.
"Either that, or he just caught our Digimon at the wrong time," Nick replied. Ravenmon laughed maniacally, and flew toward Falcomon and Pyliomon. They dodged, but he turned around, and tried again.
"This is not good, he's just one of Ladydevimon's flunkies! Imagine how strong Ladydevimon is, then!" Will exclaimed. Ravenmon shot toward Falcomon and Pyliomon, and hit them both, sending them spiraling out of control. We gasped.
"Oh no!" Wendy exclaimed, they landed on the ground, and Ravenmon flew down toward them, laughing all the way.
"We've got to do something!" Will exclaimed.
"There's nothing we can do, we aren't strong enough," Wendy said, tearfully.
'This isn't fair! Even if both of us got our Elementals right now, Ravenmon was strong enough to take down all four of the other Element Digimon, so he could beat ours easily! This is hopeless!' Wendy thought. Ravenmon tried to clothesline Falcomon and Pyliomon, but they jumped over him. He turned around and tried again.
'Pyliomon's in so much trouble, and I can't do anything to help him, I feel so helpless!' Will thought. Ravenmon flew into the air.
"I grow bored with this, so it's time for the game to come to an end," Ravenmon said, and started to glow black. Randy, April, Nick and I gasped.
"No!" Wendy and Will exclaimed together, and suddenly, they started to glow orange and purple. Wendy's orange glow surrounded her like a pillar, as did Will's purple glow. Ravenmon attacked, but the light stopped the attack. Wendy and Will could both feel the Digivices getting bigger in their hands. The rest of us looked on, in amazement. It was strange, we knew that Wendy and Will would eventually get their Elementals, but we didn't know when it would happen, or for that matter what to expect. And now, the orange light surrounding Wendy condensed, and formed a beam, and shot to Falcomon.
"Windy Armor Energize!"
"Falcomon Element Digivolve to... Egalamon!" Falcomon's new form was hovering a few feet in the air, level with Ravenmon. Egalamon had the body form of a person, only looked like a bird. Huge wings with silver, gold, blue and purple feathers on them came out of her back, making her look almost like an angel. She had hands, which had feathers on them and talons at the end instead of fingers. Will's purple glow condensed, and shot at Pyliomon in a beam.
"Earthen Armor Energize!"
"Pyliomon Element Digivolve to... Jagamon!"
Jagamon stood on the ground, just below Egalamon. Pyliomon's wings had disappeared, and he was made completely of stones. He stood on all fours, and had a small, plantlike tail. The outer covering on most of his body, except for his head, was made of stones, which gave him a rocklike appearance. Jagamon was huge!
"Egalamon and Jagamon!" I exclaimed, excited. Wendy and Will laughed, happily, and hugged each other. I looked up the two newest additions to our team on the computer.
"Egalamon is an Ultimate Digimon with the power of the Wind. She uses Eagle Eye. It is also said she can fly lightning fast," Voltomon said.
"And Jagamon is an Ultimate Digimon with the power of the Earth. He has rock hard armor all over his army that is almost impossible to penetrate. He uses Jaga Earthquake and Stone Spear," Syakomon commented. Wendy and Will looked to their new Digimon with awe, and big grins on their faces.
"Don't think Element Digivolving will save you, remember, I was able to take out the other four element Digimon," Ravenmon said, with a smirk. Egalamon and Jagamon exchanged glances, and then Egalamon flew toward Ravenmon.
"Eagle Eye!" a red light shot from her eyes, and hit Ravenmon, knocking him back.
"That your best shot?" he asked.
"Stone Spear!" Jagamon shot an attack shaped like a spear at Ravenmon. It hit him, and he tumbled through the air.
"Eagle Claw!" Egalamon shot a blast of orange light from her hands at Ravenmon. He was thrown to the ground.
"Jaga Earthquake!" Jagamon stomped the ground with such force that a wave of purple light shot from him to Ravenmon. Ravenmon was hit and thrown into the air.
"Eagle Claw!" "Stone Spear!" both attacks hit Ravenmon, and, to our amazement, he started to fuzz out.
"NO! How? How could they be that strong?? How could they attack that fast? They're only Element-" Ravenmon was cut short, as he vanished, without a trace.
We cheered the two new Element Digimon. The Bakemon, Devilamon, Crowmon and Devidramon, now leaderless, took off through the forest, back to where they'd come from. After they left, Egalamon and Jagamon glowed, and two beams of orange and purple light shot from them back to their partners' new Digivices.
"You guys were great!" Wendy and Will yelled, and ran up to Birdlingmon and Pebblemon. We ran up, with the four Rookie Digimon, to congratulate them. Wendy and Will held up the new Digivices. Wendy's was orange colored around the edges, with yellow swirls on it, in the shape of feathers. Will's was colored to look like gray stone around the edges, with a purplish tint to it.
Next Chapter: Now that the final dark Digimon's identity has been revealed as the powerful Ladydevimon, and Wendy and Will's Elementals revealed, victory and a one-way ticket back home is almost assured for the Element Digidestined. But, what perils will they face as they journey to Server's Beach, where Ladydevimon's castle resides?
