SUKI'S SAGA CH.5:
THE SPIRIT OF
COURAGE
DISCLAIMER:
IF I OWNED DIGIMON, WOULD I BE WRITING THIS? THINK ABOUT IT.
"Tai! Wake up!" The *YOUNGER* Tai opened his eyes to see an Agumon right in his face. They both jumped in alarm.
"Agumon! Next time, just shake me or something, don't get right in my face!"
"Sorry!"
Tai looked around. "How'd we get here?"
"I don't know."
Tai looked at his Digivice. "Someone's close. Let's go find them!"
"Okay!"
*Digimon Emperor's domain……*
The Digimon Emperor sat in his chair brooding. "Drat! That kid got a spirit! Wait a minute," *little red dot appears on a screen in front of the Digimon Emperor* "There's one! If I can prevent him from activating a spirit, I can destroy him! MUAHAHAHAHAHA! WORMON! COME HERE!"
"Yes, master?" said the poor little Digimon.
"Fetch me my new slave, and tell him to bring the most powerful Digimon he has under his control." As Wormon scuttled off to fulfill his task, the Digimon emperor laughed. "MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Now I can destroy that brat that I don't know because he's from a different time! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
*Back with Tai……*
"We aren't getting anywhere at this rate." Said Tai, checking his Digivice.
"Uh, Tai? We've got another problem. I'm hungry!" Said Agumon.
"So am I. I don't see any thing to eat around here, so we have to keep going anyway." Soon, Tai did a double take, looking around the area.
"Why'd you do that Tai?" Asked Agumon.
Tai turned to Agumon. "I thought I heard something."
"Then let's find something to eat fast, because I can't Digivolve!" They hurried away from the area. Soon they found a lake and caught some fish. Tai had been hearing things all day, and was beginning to wonder if he wasn't just paranoid.
"I think we should get some sleep. G'night Agumon." Said Tai, pretending to be tired.
"Goodnight Tai."
*Not too far from the lake……*
A dark figure spoke in a whispered voice to two Digimon, taking care not to be over heard. "They're not ready. It would have been better to just attack while that Agumon couldn't Digivolved, but you couldn't Digivolve either. We'll attack now." A whip cracked through the night air. "DIGIVOLVE!"
AGUMON, DARK WARP DIGIVOLVE TO: BLACKWARGREYMON!!!!!
GARURUMON, DARK DIGIVOLVE TO: BLACKWEREGARURUMON!!!!!
"Wait until the Agumon falls asleep. Then you can destroy them."
"I will do as I please. I shall not obey an inferior such as you." Said BlackWarGreymon, moving toward the lake.
"SILENCE!!! I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS INSUBORDINATION!!!" The whip repeatedly cracked against BlackWarGreymon's face. "Let that be a lesson to both of you."
"Yes, master." Replied the Digimon, grudgingly.
"Now, we will wait for Agumon to sleep. If he does not, we will lead them into a trap the next day. We were almost caught today, due to your clumsiness." He glared at BlackWereGarurumon. "I shall give the signal when the time is right. Now go check the lake, and take great care they don't find you."
*Back by the lake……*
Agumon was tired and ready to sleep. He was about to put out the fire he had made, when he noticed something in the bushes. Agumon thought that he was just being paranoid like Tai and, too tired to care, fell asleep. *He didn't put the fire out, though.*
"Now. Attack!" BlackWarGreymon and BlackWereGarurumon leaped from the bushes, exposing themselves in the firelight.
"Agumon, Digivolve!" Said Tai, after waking up from the loud thump they made.
"Ha! You wish to fight me, a Mega, when you are only a champion? Pitiful, just pitiful." Mocked BlackWarGreymon.
"You couldn't even win against me!" Laughed BlackWereGarurumon.
"Okay, so you have a slight chance now." BlackWereGarurumon stepped back. "You still can't defeat me!"
"Wanna bet?" MetalGreymon lunged for BlackWereGarurumon, striking with his metal claw. BlackWarGreymon stood back and watched.
"You may defeat him, but you're no match for me."
"You wanna take me on?"
"Gladly."
BLACK TORNADO!!!!! MetalGreymon was knocked back. He couldn't keep up his energy and De-Digivolved to Koromon. BlackWarGreymon jumped into the air. He was coming in for the kill.
TERRA DESTROYER!!!!! The attack hit the ground, kicking up lots of dust. BlackWarGreymon grinned. He thought he had destroyed Koromon. To his surprise, he saw the boy holding the Koromon, just out of range of the attack. Just as the attack was about to hit Koromon, Tai had dove to save him. They slid just out of range, much to dislike of BlackWarGreymon.
"Koromon, are you okay?" asked Tai.
"Tai, you could have gotten killed! Why'd you save me?" Said Koromon.
"Do you think I'd let you get destroyed out there?"
"Tai, you're brave." Just then, Tai's Digivice and crest started shaking. An orange spirit appeared in front of Tai, revolving slowly.
Koromon got very excited. "Tai, that's a spirit! You can make me Digivolve!"
"What is a spirit anyway?"
"I'll explain later. Say 'Digi-Spirit Power up' after I Digivolve to Agumon, okay?"
"Okay!"
KOROMON, DIGIVOLVE TO: AGUMON!!
"DIGI-SPIRIT POWER UP!"
AGUMON, COURAGE SPIRIT DIGIVOLVE TO: TIDRAMON!!!!!
Tidramon was a great, orange dragon with black tiger stripes from neck to tail. It had two horns on its' forehead and one horn on it's nose. It had sharp teeth, a scar on one eye, spikes from neck to tail and long, terrible claws. Even Tidramon's wings were striped! There was a golden collar around his neck.
"Tidramon! Show 'em who's boss!" Tai yelled, recovering from the shock of seeing Agumon Spirit Digivolve.
Tidramon peered down at Tai. "Right. I'll take care of this guy, you stay out of range." With that, the dragon lifted his regal head and roared, shaking BlackWarGreymon out of the air.
BLACK TORNADO!!!!!!!
TIGER STRIKE!!!!!!!
TERRA DESTROYER!!!!!!!
Amazing as it might seem, BlackWarGreymon was losing! He hadn't counted on fighting a humongus dragon that night. With one more Dragon's Flame from Tidramon, BlackWarGreymon was out for the count. He De-Digivolved to Agumon. The dragon gently picked up the small orange Digimon, and tossed him into the woods. He turned to BlackWereGarurumon, who was cowering in the bushes.
"Your turn." BlackWereGarurumon De-Digivolved to Garurumon from sheer fright and went bounding away toward Agumon. Tidramon De-Digivolved to Agumon and Tai ran over to him.
"You were great! Hey, what's that?" a pair of golden cuffs appeared on Agumon's wrists. They had the shape of a Digivice on them. At the same moment, a keychain in the shape of the Crest of Courage appeared in Tai's pocket. While they were looking at their new 'stuff' as they put it, Matt and Gabumon walked through the bushes.
"Tai!"
"Matt!"
"What happened? We heard something coming from this direction, and found you!" Matt glanced at Agumon's wrists. "Tai? Did Agumon Spirit Digivolve?"
"Yea, why?"
"Gabumon did it too. Afterwards, did you get a keychain?" He got out the Crest of Friendship keychain.
"I got one too, only it's the Crest of Courage. See?" Tai got out his keychain.
"I guess you must get this stuff when your partner Spirit Digivolves."
Tai heard his Digivice beeping and looked at it. "Someone's over in that direction."
"Then what are we waiting for?"
"Let's go!" they went on.
