Digimon: Elementals
By: ArtikGato
Disclaimer: For the miniscule 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: Medusamon, Chameleomon and Dukaizemon. Pukumon and Skullmammothmon come from the Digimon Card Game. One note about Chameleomon. There IS an actual ChameleoNmon, but, like with Sorcemon and SorceRImon, when I wrote this I didn't know about Chameleonmon. In fact, Chameleonmon probably didn't exist back then. Anyway, just letting you know that they are different Digimon. OK, enjoy the story!
Chapter Thirty-One: Enter The Dark Masters
"EIGHT?" Izzy, TK, and Kari asked. Davis, Yolei, Cody and Ken looked at us blankly.
"That was our exact response," April replied.
"Yeah, there were eight, and believe me, that was enough," I answered.
"Wow, and we only had to fight four of them...so, you guys destroyed the other four, huh?" Izzy asked.
"Eventually, but it definitely wasn't easy...."
"EIGHT?" we asked.
"Who are they?" I asked, typing away at the computer.
"They are Skullmammothmon, Medusamon, Metalseadramon, Puppetmon, Chameleomon, Pukumon, Machinedramon, and their leader is Piedmon." Kasheramon said. I typed their names into the computer, and eight profiles flashed onto the screen.
"They're ALL Mega Digimon?" I asked, frantically.
"Tell me this is just some sort of joke!" Wendy asked, desperately.
"This is no joke. The Dark Masters have arrived in the Digital World, and they are the final evil that is plaguing it," Gennai's voice said. We looked at the computer screen, all with mixed emotions of fear, anxiety, anger, desperation, and depression. We'd never get out of the Digi World now!
"Where are they?" Nick asked, after a moment of silence.
"They are on the Eastern Shore of Server right now. Thankfully, they don't know where you are, but I have a feeling that they will soon," Gennai said.
"Oh, great, and Skullgreymon's base is destroyed!" Will said.
"Where do we go now?" Randy asked.
"Those fools don't know how much trouble they're going to be in when we find them," Skullmammothmon said, grinning an evil grin.
"Right, we'll squash them like the bugs they are!" Metalseadramon added.
"No, no, first, we should have a little fun with them!" Puppetmon put in his two cents.
"I agree, after all, the chase is half the fun," Machinedramon said, his metal cannons gleaming. Medusamon nodded.
"Besides, we are all very powerful mega Digimon, and they are no match for us. Beating them right away would be a disappointment," she said.
"They're not to be underestimated, they killed Sorcemon pretty easily," Pukumon pointed out. Chameleomon shook his head.
"You don't know anything do you? There are eight of us! We far outnumber those pesky insects. There's no way we can lose to them!" he exclaimed.
"Chameleomon's right, there is no need for us to be careful, we can't lose to puny runts like them," Piedmon said. The talk from the others ceased as their apparent leader spoke.
"So, what should we do, Piedmon?" Medusamon, floating closer to him, asked.
"Since there is no need for all eight of us to fight those insects, we should split up, and half of us will handle them. The other half will stay behind and conquer the Digital World, like we originally planned," Piedmon said. The other seven Dark Masters nodded.
"Well, I want to prove my strength, so I volunteer to fight them," Chameleomon said, fearlessly, flexing his muscles. Medusamon rolled her eyes.
"Fine, then you can go. I'm staying, those brats aren't worth my time," Metalseadramon said. That got Pukumon's attention.
"Then I'M going. No sense for two water Digimon to stay. Besides, Metalseadramon's just a wimp, I'll show you all the true power of a sea Digimon!" he boasted. Metalseadramon turned to him.
"WHAAAT?" he bellowed.
"You're a wimp, and I'm going, simple as that!" Pukumon shouted back at his long-time rival. The two glared at each other angrily, before Piedmon struck them with two daggers, which bounced off their armor, but got their attention.
"No need to fight, you shall both play integral parts in our little drama," Piedmon ended the argument. Both Metalseadramon and Pukumon turned their backs to each other.
"ANYTHING to get away from HIM!" they both exclaimed at the same time.
"I suppose I should go, just in case those two mess up," Skullmammothmon said, stomping up. "Right. You three and... Medusamon, you go with them," Piedmon said. Medusamon grinned, and floated over to join the other four.
"Then, we'll stay behind and conquer the Digital World," Machinedramon said. They all nodded in agreement, and went off in separate directions. Pukumon went by sea, Chameleomon and Skullmammothmon went by land, and Medusamon went by air: to find the Digidestined. Us.
It was dark. We all sat around a campfire, the shadows and light dancing around across our faces. Randy sighed, and poked the fire with a stick. We hadn't yet eaten our dinner. None of us had an appetite, not even the Digimon, who always seemed to be hungry. There was only one thing on our minds: The Dark Masters. It had been around two days since we'd left Skullgreymon's former base, and we were now a few miles into the Illusions Forest. None of us had gotten much sleep in the past twenty-four hours, because we were afraid of being caught off-guard by the Dark Masters. Especially me and April. Our Digimon were the only ones who could become a Mega Digimon so far, and, where it stood, Lidramon was our only hope against the Dark Masters. I stared into the fire, these thoughts and others swirling through my head. I sighed, and watched a few embers drift into the sky from where Randy had changed the position of the burning logs.
"Guys," I said, breaking the long period of depressing silence, "we can't go on like this. If we don't eat and sleep, we'll be too tired to fight the Dark Masters," I stated. The others looked at me.
"But Kimi, we CAN'T sleep, we're too afraid the Dark Masters will attack us!" Voltomon protested.
"I know, but you could at least eat SOMETHING," I gestured to the untouched soup pot near the fire. None of us had much of an appetite.
"You didn't eat," Randy pointed out; getting death glares from most everyone else.
"It's not really all that necessary for US to eat," April said, talking about the human members of the team, myself included, "but if you're hungry and low on power, you won't be able to Digivolve to fight off the Dark Masters,"
"But we can't eat, not with this hanging over our heads," Sparrowmon said.
"What?" Wendy asked.
"If we can't protect you from the Dark Masters, full or not, you'll be destroyed," she replied.
"But you should still eat, you'll stand a better chance full than hungry," I replied, harshly. The others looked at me, surprised.
"What's wrong with you?" Randy asked.
"What do you think is wrong with me? We're all so worried sick about the Dark Masters-- including me--that we refuse to eat and sleep!" I exclaimed. Everyone else was taken aback by the tone in my voice, including my partner.
"Take a chill pill!" Randy replied.
"That's exactly how the rest of us feel, just calm down, you two," Wendy intervened.
"You don't act like this normally, what's wrong?" Nick asked. I shook my head.
"I guess I'm just frustrated," I said, my voice back to normal. "I'm supposed to be the 'leader' of you guys, but I don't have the slightest clue what to do,"
"None of the rest of us do, so don't feel bad," April replied. I kept my head down, looking at the ground.
"I guess the only thing we can do is try to get a little rest, eat a little, and keep going to Tecno. There's nothing else that we can do right now," Will, who had been silently brooding about that point, said.
"I guess," I said, and lifted my head to stare at the flames, with worry and concern in my eyes. Voltomon suddenly got up from her sitting position on the ground beside me.
"Well, I know one thing, I'm hungry!" Voltomon exclaimed. I smiled a little, and got her a bowl of soup. The other Digimon gathered around the soup pot, and looked up at me expectantly.
"What, am I the soup server now?" I asked, playfully. The Digimon grinned, and nodded. I grabbed five more of the makeshift, wooden bowls out of Wendy's pack and filled them with soup. I handed out the bowls to the Digimon, and they all began gorging on food, thanking me between bites. I sighed, and looked back at my own gorging partner.
"Since you're up," Nick started, and I turned to him. He grinned, playfully, and gestured to the soup pot. "Could you get me a bowl too?" I laughed, and served him as well. I looked around, and noticed everyone else was looking at me expectantly.
"Fine!" I exclaimed, with pretend anger, and served everyone else. We all had a good laugh, and I, with a bowl of soup in hand, sat back down beside Voltomon. That was the first moment of peace and happiness we'd had in quite a while.
"Yes, laugh it up while you can, Digidestined! Soon, you'll feel the wrath of the Dark Masters upon you, and there will be no escape!" Chameleomon said, and smirked.
"Shouldn't we attack them now, while their guard is down and their strength is still low?" Medusamon asked, floating beside Chameleomon, who was sitting in a tree, overlooking the clearing we were in.
"Why should we? They are pathetic and weak, I'd like to give them a bit of a chance to put up a fight, otherwise, this will be a big disappointment," Chameleomon replied, and Medusamon nodded.
"Then, let's get back to the others, and we'll wait until tomorrow to attack," she said.
"Excellent plan!" Chameleomon replied, and they were quickly gone.
The sun shone through a break in the canopy of leaves above. It hit my face. I stirred, and woke up, rubbing my eyes sleepily, and then shading my hands from the sun. Beside me, Voltomon was sleeping peacefully. I smiled. After last night, we'd finally gotten a halfway decent rest, and with no distraction from the Dark Masters, either. I yawned, and sat up, careful not to disturb Voltomon or the others. I stood up, and walked to the left side of the clearing, where there was a small stream. I wordlessly went over, took a drink from the stream, and splashed cold water on my face to wake up. I heard a yawn back at camp, and looked. Voltomon sat up, and yawned again. Suddenly, I heard a twig snap behind me. Voltomon heard it also, and we both looked surprised toward the sound of the twig. Standing there was a small, plantlike Digimon. I looked at Voltomon, puzzled. She walked over to me, and looked at the little Digimon.
"Don't worry, that's just Tanemon, an In-Training Digimon of the forest. They usually only come out during the early morning," Voltomon whispered to me. I looked at the Tanemon, and we went back to camp, leaving the Tanemon to take a drink from the stream.
Around 30 minutes later, everyone was up, filling up on Xarians, Digicarrots, or what little soup was left after last night's gorge fest. We all got up, and, after a few minutes, packed up camp, making sure to dump a little water on the remains of the campfire, and started off through the forest again.
"I think we're getting closer to that clearing where we beat Shellsnimon and Waruwizardmon before," April commented.
"That means that it won't be very long before we're out of this forest, maybe three days tops," Nick said, trying to sound cheerful. This was a huge forest, twice as big as the Dark Forest we'd passed through on the way to Ladydevimon's castle. On the other side of it was a bunch of rolling hills with trees dotting them. Then there was Meteor Mountain, and Tecno Savanna. I sighed, knowing how long it would take us to get back to Tecno. The others sighed also. We'd been in the Digital World for such a long time...at least a month, maybe more. And, not a day had gone by here where we weren't traveling, toward or away from an evil Digimon trying to destroy us. It was just so depressing....
"We can't attack them while they're in this forest, they're too far from the ocean, and Skullmammothmon can't go into the forest without plowing a path through it," Chameleomon said.
"We'll just have to wait until they emerge from the forest," Medusamon replied.
"They still won't be near the ocean," Chameleomon pointed out.
"I suppose we'll have to persuade them then," Medusamon said. Chameleomon nodded, and looked down on us, who were nearing the clearing they were perched just outside of.
We traveled for two more days, still with no attacks from the Dark Masters, much to our relief.
"They probably don't want to attack us because a forest isn't a good battlefield," April reasoned.
"Either that, or they're scared of us!" Randy exclaimed. We shook our heads, and sighed at his infinite stupidity.
Still another day we traveled, and around noon, we finally reached the edge of the forest, and decided to stop there and have lunch. More Xarians and soup. I suppose our diet COULD have been worse, but...
"Now, shall we persuade those annoying gnats toward the ocean?" Chameleomon asked. Medusamon grinned.
"Let's," she said, and they jumped down from the tree they had been perched in. They were inside the Illusion Forest, just behind us.
"Did you hear that?" I asked, looking back into the forest.
"Hear what?" Randy asked.
"I heard it too," Voltomon replied.
"It was a crash or something," I said.
"I don't like the sound of this, I'm getting a strange feeling..." Wendy said. Suddenly, a fireball, but made out of black flames, came crashing out of the forest, and flew past us. We jumped up, surprised and frightened, and faced the forest.
"Who's there?" I asked, timidly, but trying to sound brave. An evil laugh, that sounded feminine, came from the forest, and suddenly, a human form, only with huge, demonic wings sprouting out of its back, shot up, out of the canopy, and into the air. The creature looked female, and was wearing an outfit that was the same color as the dark fireball had been. She looked about the same as a Pixie creature from Monster Rancher, except for one thing. Out of her head, snakes that were the same color as her clothing writhed around.
"That MUST be Medusamon," Nick said, looking up at the demonic creature above the canopy. She laughed.
"Yes, I am Medusamon. I am a demon creature Digimon, and I can shoot powerful dark fireballs. Oh, and the snakes on my head are deadly poisonous," she informed us, and laughed.
"At least she can't turn us to stone," April said. Suddenly a laugh, quite different from Medusamon's, erupted from the forest. It sounded male. A Digimon covered in vines jumped out of the foliage in front of us, and laughed again.
"Allow me to introduce Chameleomon," Medusamon said. The Digimon standing before us looked like a cross between a bush, a lion and a man. He had vines coming off of his body, which wrapped around him except for on his face and hands. In his hand he held a sword, and on his head was a crown of thorny vines. His fur, or what could be seen of it, was also green.
"Hello Digidestined, I am Chameleomon, a vine Digimon. I'll put the squeeze on you with my Strangler Vine attack, and you're sure to get the point when I use my Needle Thorn attack!" Chameleomon introduced himself. Medusamon charged a Dark Fireball in her hands, and shot it at us. We jumped aside, our Digivices reacting like crazy.
"Voltomon Digivolve to...Shockmon!"
"Flamemon Digivolve to...Meramon!"
"Floramon Digivolve to...Pansymon!"
"Syakomon Digivolve to...Marinedramon!"
"Sparrowmon Digivolve to...Falcomon!"
"Tapirmon Digivolve to...Pyliomon!"
"Lightning Armor Energize!"
"Flaming Armor Energize!"
"Floral Armor Energize!"
"Aquatic Armor Energize!"
"Windy Armor Energize!"
"Earthen Armor Energize!"
"Shockmon Element Digivolve to...Electramon!"
"Meramon Element Digivolve to...Tyremeramon!"
"Pansymon Element Digivolve to...Naturamon!"
"Marinedramon Element Digivolve to...Aeromarinedramon!"
"Falcomon Element Digivolve to...Egalamon!"
"Pyliomon Element Digivolve to...Jagamon!"
"Oooh, look Medusamon! Six Element Digimon, I'm sooooo scared!" Chameleomon said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. Medusamon laughed, and charged another attack.
"This will be a piece of cake," Medusamon replied.
"Electromagnetic Pulse!" Medusamon was hit, but recovered in the hair with barely a scratch on her.
"Nature's Fury!" This attack also hit Medusamon, who did a back flip, and flew back up to where she had been, laughing at us in mock.
"Flaming Laser!" Chameleomon jumped to avoid the attack.
"Ocean's Fury!" this attack hit Chameleomon, who quickly recovered.
"Eagle Claw!" Medusamon flew to the side, and the attack missed her.
"Jaga Earthquake!" the purple pulse of light hit Chameleomon, tripping him up, but he stood up, and glared at Jagamon.
"Is that the best you've got?" he asked.
"Our turn! Dark Fireball!" Medusamon shot her attack at the Digimon. They all jumped to the side to avoid it.
"Needle Thorn!" Chameleomon shouted, and all of a sudden, the six Element Digimon were pelted with needle-sharp thorns from every direction.
"Let's take it up a notch!" I heard April say. I nodded, and took out my Digivice. They started to glow in that yellowish-green glow again, and so did Electramon and Naturamon.
"Electramon...Naturamon...DNA Digivolve to...Lidramon!"
"All right, now the game's starting to get interesting!" Chameleomon said, looking at Lidramon.
"A mega, finally, a contender in this fight," Medusamon remarked, and smirked at Lidramon. Lidramon flew up, and took up a fighting stance. Medusamon charged a Dark Fireball, and threw it at Lidramon, who dodged.
"Spring Light!" yellowish-green light shot from both her hands, hitting both of the Dark Masters. They struggled against the light, and finally broke away. Chameleomon got fed up.
"Strangler Vines!" he wrapped his attack around Lidramon, and dragged her away from the others. Medusamon stayed behind, and attempted to distract the other Digimon.
"Ocean's Fury..." "Dark Fireball!" the two attacks hit each other, and dissipated.
"Flaming Laser!" "Shadow Fire!" those two attacks also fizzled out. Egalamon and Jagamon slipped past her, as did the rest of us, and we followed Chameleomon, dragging the struggling Lidramon behind him.
"Eagle Eye!" "Stone Spear!" the vines were cut, and Lidramon snapped free of them. Chameleomon looked back disgruntled, only to be blasted by a Cloud Strike from Lidramon.
"Flaming Laser!" "Shadow Fire!" the two attacks hit, but neither Digimon backed down. Aeromarinedramon flew up behind her.
"Hydro Punch!" he punched her in the back, hard. She stopped the Shadow Fire attack, and Tyremeramon's attack hit her. She flew out of the fire, startled, and growled, angrily. Suddenly, she did something unexpected.
"SKULLMAMMOTHMON!! PUKUMON!!! GET YOUR BUTTS OVER HERE NOW!!!" She shrieked. Suddenly, the ground began to shake. We looked to the east, and saw a giant creature stomping toward us. It looked like a giant woolly mammoth, only with no skin and metal bones. He stomped toward us, and stopped for a second.
"Spiral Bone Crusher!" he fired an attack from his tusks, which shot through the air, and hit Tyremeramon.
"That must be Skullmammothmon!" Wendy exclaimed, looking at the skeleton before us. Medusamon suddenly blasted Aeromarinedramon to the ground with a Shadow Fire attack. Lidramon prepared to attack Chameleomon, but suddenly she, Jagamon and Egalamon were all hit at the same time with thousands of points of energy. We turned to look, and noticed that the points of energy were coming from a fishlike Digimon with arms, and a metal covering, complete with metal spikes, on its back.
"So that makes him Pukumon?" I asked. Chameleomon hit Jagamon and Egalamon with a Needle Thorn attack, blasting them backwards.
"Allow me to introduce two more of the Dark Masters. That is Skullmammothmon, a Ghost Digimon who has no living soul, and attacks ruthlessly with his Spiral Bone Crusher attack. The other Digimon is Pukumon, a Mutant Digimon who dwells in the sea. Beware his Needle Squall and Globefish Poison attacks," Medusamon said. We gulped. There were now four powerful Mega Digimon against our one Mega and four Ultimates. We didn't stand a chance. Tyremeramon sat up, only to have Skullmammothmon shoot another attack at him.
"Firewall!" Tyremeramon attempted to block it. The attack pressed at the wall.
"Cloud Strike!" this attack contacted with Chameleomon, who did a double back flip, and suddenly, disappeared. Lidramon looked around, confused, and suddenly, he reappeared behind her. He grabbed her by the hands, and suddenly, transformed into her! We gasped, and both Lidramon looked confused. They both flew toward each other, aiming punches, and sparred. We suddenly lost track of which one was fake.
"How did he just do that?" I asked, distressed.
"It must be another one of his attacks!" Nick replied. April just looked at the two Lidramon in surprise and fear. Suddenly, an explosion to our left brought us back to our senses. Egalamon and Jagamon were lying on the ground, and a laughing Pukumon once again charged his attack, making the metal on his back glow.
"Globefish Poison!" a blast of light hit them, throwing them back a few more feet. They groaned in pain. Medusamon flew down to Aeromarinedramon, and grabbed him by the throat. He choked, trying to breathe. She laughed, and flew up with him, still holding him by the throat. Suddenly, beside them, Tyremeramon's Firewall broke, sending Skullmammothmon's attack crashing into him, and him crashing into a tree. Medusamon laughed at his misfortune, and tightened her grip on Aeromarinedramon's neck. Nick and Randy looked on with pain and anger in their eyes. Aeromarinedramon choked, and groaned in pain, and Tyremeramon groaned, not even able to sit up. Medusamon laughed and, with her free hand, charged a Dark Fireball. That was the last straw.
"Say goodbye..." Medusamon started.
"STOP!!!" both Nick and Randy yelled at the same time, and suddenly, their Digivices began to glow. Surprised, Medusamon turned to them, snarling.
"What do you want? Oh, wait! Yes, I know what you want! You want me to come and destroy you first, so you won't have to watch me destroy your precious Digi pets! Well..." she started, throwing Marinedramon aside like a rag doll, "I'd be happy to oblige," she ended. She took a few menacing steps toward Randy and Nick.
"N-no...don't hurt them..." Marinedramon choked, standing up. She turned to him.
"You little nuisance! You're up, after all that?" she cried. He glared at her, struggling to stay balanced. "Well...not for long. Shadow Fireball!" she exclaimed. Before he could react, he was struck with a fireball, and thrown backwards, towards Tyremeramon!
"No! Aeromarinedramon!" Nick cried. Medusamon turned, and charged another fireball, hurling at them before Aeromarinedramon had even hit the ground.
"Stop it! Tyremeramon!" Randy yelled. All of a sudden, their softly glowing Digivices started to beep and bright red and blue beams of light shot out of them. The light from their digivices spread quickly, and where they met it formed a strange, metallic purplish color, but still distinctly red and blue at the same time. The light hit the two Element Digimon, just before Aeromarinedramon was about to hit Tyremeramon and Medusamon's fireball was about to explode on them. They glowed white, and seemed to just meld together.
"Tyremeramon....Aeromarinedramon...DNA Digivolve to...Dukaizemon!"
Standing in the place of the two warriors of water and fire was one being: Dukaizemon. He was about the size of Marinedramon, with Marinedramon's body form, and Tyremeramon's armor. The armor was a mix of both flame-tinted and water-tinted. From his head sprung a column of flames, and from his back sprung two wings, similar to Aeromarinedramon's. Where there wasn't armor, he had skin that was light orange-red closer to his head, and on the lower parts of his body it was light blue. His eyes were the color of that strange purple light that had surrounded everyone just a moment ago. Nick and Randy stood in awe.
"Du...du...kaizemon?" Nick finally uttered. Randy was speechless, as were the rest of us. Dukaizemon turned to us, and spoke with the voices of both Aeromarinedramon and Tyremeramon.
"Yes. I am Dukaizemon, the fusion of water and fire. My power is immense. Watch out for my Power Cannon and Kinetic Storm attacks," he said. Randy and Nick grinned.
"OUR OWN DNA DIGIMON!!!" they shouted at the same time, and slapped their hands together in a high-five.
"Not for long!" Medusamon exclaimed, bringing us back to reality: we were still outnumbered. Dukaizemon turned to her, and held up both his hands, pushing the base of his palms together. A ball of white energy formed in his hands. (Like the Kamehameha from DBZ)
"Power Cannon!" a white beam of light as big around as the ball of light was shot out, and hit Medusamon. She was blasted into the ground by the light. Suddenly, two shouts of "Cloud Strike!" caught our attention, and we noticed the two battling Lidramon.
"I wish we could help some how," April said, looking up at the furious battle going on above our heads. Pukumon glared at Dukaizemon, and charged another attack.
"Globefish Poison!"
"Eagle Claw!" "Stone Spear!" the attack was deflected, and sent crashing to the ground behind Pukumon.
"Spiral Bone Crusher!" the attack was sent for Dukaizemon. Dukaizemon glowed, and held up his hands.
"Kinetic Storm!" the attack was disintegrated, and a wave of purple light, sparkling with kinetic energy, shot out to Skullmammothmon. It hit, and sent him flying through a few dozen trees.
"Whoa!" Nick and Randy exclaimed, looking at the damage their DNA Digimon had just done with only one attack. Medusamon got up with a groan, and fired a Shadow Flame at Dukaizemon. Dukaizemon was too quick, and he dodged the flame.
"You again?" he asked, annoyed, and charged another attack.
"Needle Squall!" Dukaizemon was pelted with thousands of points of light.
"Dark Fireball!" he was hit in the gut with Medusamon's attack.
"Spiral Bone Crusher!" the attack was sent on a crash course with Dukaizemon.
"Stone Spear!" "Eagle Claw!" the attacks were able to deflect Skullmammothmon's Spiral Bone Crusher, and send it crashing into the ground under Medusamon. Medusamon cackled, and shot fireball after fireball into Dukaizemon, as Pukumon kept up the Needle Squall. All of a sudden, one Lidramon shot a huge attack into the other, and the other hit the ground. We weren't sure to cheer or not, because Chameleomon and Lidramon were perfectly mirrored. Suddenly, the Lidramon lying on the ground gave out a groan, and transformed back into Chameleomon! We cheered, happily. Lidramon turned to Pukumon, and blasted him with an attack, stopping his attack. Dukaizemon, free of the attack, blasted Medusamon with one of his attacks.
"This battle is going nowhere, it's practically a stalemate!" Wendy exclaimed.
"We can't keep on battling like this, they're starting to lose energy," Will said.
"What can we do?" April asked. Dukaizemon and Lidramon both acknowledged the fact that they had to end the battle soon. Very soon. Suddenly, they began to glow, but in those strange purple and spring green colors.
"We have to end the battle," I said, and looked down at my own Digivice in my hands, which was glowing with that greenish-yellow color.
"Right," Nick replied, and then held up his Digivice so that it was facing Dukaizemon.
"What are you doing?" Will asked. Nick kept his eyes locked on the Digivice.
"I'm concentrating on giving all my energy to Dukaizemon. I heard somewhere that you can do that," Nick said. Randy nodded, and held up his glowing Digivice toward Dukaizemon. Instantly, they both began to glow, Randy red and Nick blue.
"Let's try," April said to me, and I nodded. We held up our glowing Digivices, and concentrated on giving our energy to Lidramon. Wendy and Will looked from us to the still raging battle between Chameleomon and Lidramon. April and I started to glow, me yellow and April green. Suddenly, all the glow around us flew into the Digivices and out of them in a concentrated beam. The beams of light hit Lidramon and Dukaizemon, and their glows got bigger, forcing back the Dark Masters.
"It's working!" Wendy exclaimed, and looked at us. We kept our Digivices pointed to the sky until the beams of light left them. Suddenly, we collapsed to the ground.
"Oh no!" Wendy and Will exclaimed, and ran over to us. I was breathing hard. It felt like I had all of a sudden sprinted half a mile without stopping.
"What happened?" Will asked.
"We...gave them all our energy..." Nick said, also gasping for breath.
"You look like you just got out of gym," Wendy commented.
"More like out of a 50 mile sprint," Randy said.
"Yeah," April panted. Suddenly, an explosion of light in the sky caught our attention.
"Kinetic Storm!" purple exploded around him, blowing back Chameleomon and Skullmammothmon. He then shot a blast of purple light, sparkling with kinetic energy. It hit the dazed Chameleomon and Skullmammothmon, sending them flying over the horizon. Literally. At the same time, Lidramon charged her Cloud Strike, and set off a blast of light, blowing Medusamon and Pukumon back several hundred feet.
"Cloud Strike!" the attack hit Medusamon, who crashed into Pukumon, and the two were shot back toward the forest. The glows around Lidramon and Dukaizemon disappeared, and they turned to us.
"Thanks for your energy, but you didn't have to give us all of it," Lidramon said, floating down to us. Dukaizemon nodded, and put in his two cents.
"Though that power burst did win us the battle, so thank you,"
"Don't mention it," Nick said, standing up shakily. The rest of us managed to get to our feet with the assistance of Wendy and Will. We started to get our energy back, although we were still drained.
"We won't be able to do THAT for a while," April said.
"We should hurry up, this moment of peace is bound to be shattered by the Dark Masters if we stay here," Egalamon said. I nodded.
