Digimon Summoners
By The Dragon of Courage
Kayaku fell onto a snowy mountain and met his Guardian, Loupmon. Meanwhile, Tasuke and his friend decided to split into two directions: one towards the spirit, and the other towards Kayaku. Tasuke's friends found Kayaku and defeated Mothmon and the Hyougamon!
The Best Barbecue! Reborn from Ashes Agnimon of Flame!
Tasuke and Archdramon stealthily followed the small-enslaved Agumon to a work site. There, they saw in front of them a huge fortress that would be designed with no entrance. Archdramon gritted his teeth, "That is where they kept him. The Spirit of Fire."
"Spirit of Fire," Tasuke murmured under his breath. Archdramon snuck away from Tasuke, his lip licking in pride.
"I will save him. No one will abuse him ever again."
Tasuke looked around the bushes and Archdramon was nowhere in sight.
"Oh well," he sighed, but then he felt a warm feeling in his right glove. The boy looked on the back of his hand and saw a Japanese character glowing hotly on it.
"Honou?" He looked at his digivice and faced his hand with the mark towards the spirit's direction. It glowed furiously red. Tasuke looked at it, not believing what this means.
"Can it be?"
Archdramon hid himself among the Agumon slaves. He asked as few where the entrance is and, of course, got no answer since the spirit was boxed in a labyrinth and had no entrance. One old Agumon told him about the slave master, DeathMeramon.
"Yeah, what about him?" Archdramon asked
"Oh! He's unmerciful! Please, Guardian of Fire, you must destroy him and his Vegiemon."
Archdramon's eyes grew wide. "How did you know that?"
The Agumon chuckled as he point the scar on his back, "No one would ever bear the sacred symbol of Fire, unless it is the Guardian or the Spirit himself."
"Oh!" Archdramon relaxed. Then he heard an unexpected crash.
"Get back to work you lazy digimon!" Then there was a crack and a loud, pitiful cry. Then, blood of wrath began to broil in Archdramon's head.
"RRRUUUUAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!" Archdramon burst out of the line of the Agumon slaves and charged towards the nearby Vegiemon, who was harming an innocent Agumon.
"Incinerate Feathers!" The Vegiemon was deleted and absorbed in the process. His eyes were glowing crimson in rage as more Vegiemon approached the dragon and threw their vines all over his body. Archdramon burst into flames. He felt his spirit's presence and grew stronger. The Vegiemon released their hold, huddling in one part of the work site. Archdramon attempted to follow them, but something held him back.
Even if the spirit managed to give him a little more firepower, it did not impress DeathMeramon.
"Heat Chain!" Heavy metal chains grasped Archdramon by the wrists and he was suddenly dragged by to the slave master's side, DeathMeramon.
"Looks like I have caught a wild fish, waiting to be eaten! Haha!"
The Vegiemon that were not injured laughed hysterically as their boss.
Tasuke cautiously circled the back section of the castle as he saw Archdramon captured and dragged away. He touched the wall for a weak spot and found it. He pulled away a block and the almost the entire wall caved in. Tasuke coughed as dust flew everywhere. A few Agumon watched the boy at the sudden entrance.
He wondered if it would be a lot better if the slave master suggested cement, but he had no time. Archdramon's life is on the ice. He couldn't understand that feeling that overwhelmed him when he first saw Archdramon as a living, breathing being. It felt like he knew him long time ago. When he set eyes on him, Tasuke did felt a funny sensation like another heart beating with his. Maybe getting the spirit of Fire would solve the problem.
Tasuke began to run down the dimly lit corridor, following the glowing mark engraved on his hand.
"Why? Why are you following your master's word? Why do you wish the destroy my spirit?" Archdramon demanded fiercely as the Vegiemon tied him to a rock with chains.
"Why, my boy?" DeathMeramon, "I believe that you would not have remember me, sleeping for sixty years. When I was a Meramon, I have dreamt of your spirit in fighting power. I have wished to be like him. Then, to my surprise, the Chosen Children bearing the spirits were offering positions of Guardians. If it weren't for you, D-Hybrid freaks, I would have taken it!"
"You were jealous?" he gawked as one of the Vegiemon tightened the binds.
"Very," DeathMeramon said with anger in his eyes. "Then, I swore revenge on him, the whole lot, and you most of all. Then my master sensed my temptation and he offer me an evolution step higher. I accepted it. And I became a sergeant of the Megiddo Code in the Eta Section."
Archdramon spat. "Evolution? Hierarchy? That is the least importance to a digimon's life!"
"Of course, that means I am more powerful than you and therefore I have the ability to destroy you whenever I please."
"Without the spirit, of course," Archdramon muttered. "I will still remain strong! I am the Digimon of the Wild!"
"Silence, idiot!" DeathMeramon yelled as he gave Archdramon a rock hard punch.
"Argh!" He groaned in pain. The digimon grasped him by the neck and asked, "Do you want more?"
Archdramon growled. DeathMeramon could have made him unconscious, if it weren't for a frantic Vegiemon rushing onto the scene.
"Sire? The back wall crumpled."
"What? Didn't we add the cement?"
"As bright as day, but the Agumon said that a kid just walked up to it and just pulled out a block and the whole thing caved in."
Archdramon's cocked an eye.
"Then, get him and bring him to me."
"Yes, sir!" The Vegiemon saluted and walked off. DeathMeramon looked at Archdramon straight into his eyes, "I'll deal with you later. I love to catch another wild fish! Haha!"
Archdramon was disgusted of this weird humor as the digimon strode away from him.
Tasuke walked down the dim and dank labyrinth. He had no clue what is the deal with his hand, pulling him into the right direction all the time. It seems he had walked forever with the twisting and turning path.
Then the glowing faded and he realized that the long and scary corridor had widened into an even creepier chamber. Tasuke muttered, "I must not lose my nerve."
He looked around the lit room and found no trace of this spirit. He looked up and then realized that Archdramon's enemies must have buried it, but where?
Then the digivice started to shine a scarlet light. The beam flew to a spot in the middle of the floor and remained motionless when Tasuke approached it. The light faded and he then began digging.
Archdramon hummed a familiar tune as the Vegiemon stood on guard. The guardian then sang a line, "Densetsu ni wa musuu no hiiroo…"
Vegiemon muttered, "You are a lousy singer."
"Yeah," Archdramon said innocently, "I am such a lousy singer that Argomon loves to hit me with his little bell."
"A bell?"
"Oh, no! Not that bell. That one that could break walls."
"I don't believe such nonsense."
"Light Gloke!" The rock that held Archdramon shattered into pieces and some of the shards left the Vegiemon unconscious. Argomon suddenly appeared by Archdramon's side. Archdramon looked at his chains and looked to where Argomon was. He was gone.
"Baka!" Archdramon muttered. Why does Argomon have the ability to disappear?
"Oh well. LadyDepthmon? I seriously need your help."
"Come on, spirit! Where are you?" Tasuke mumbled as he dug a fairly size hole in the ground. His face was wet from sweat as he dug in frustration.
"Argh! Damn!" he slammed his fist on the ground.
Unexpectedly, he noticed a piece of metal glinting on the corner of his eye. He then burrowed around the metal.
Tasuke revealed what seemed to be an ancient relic of some sort. The ancient spirit was as small as his hand and it looked like empty armor. There was a red mask with three silver horns and a golden, bushy mane. The body was also red decorated with golden flames. The spirit has a black, hexagon base. To Tasuke, it had meant everything to him, but it was rusting off its beauty and a part of the spirit was already chipped. Cracks were all over the thing. If it falls to the ground, it might break.
He carefully grasped the little artifact like a plate of china.
The spirit's data will be mine! I will become invincible! DeathMeramon thought to himself as he proudly strode to the back part of the building. The Agumon gazed at him in fear.
"Mwuahahaha! I can feel victory in my blood!" he roared. Then he heard a voice.
"Seriously, man, get a life."
"You again?!" He growled as he faced Archdramon again. This time, Archdramon was up a tree with no chains around his wrists. He causally leaned against the trunk and said, "You know, there is a reason why I am an Guardian of Fire."
"And what's that?"
"Guardians do not let other disgusting creatures touch their spirits. You, for example, are one of them. AAAARRRRRRAAAAHHHHH!" He jumped into the air. Archdramon flipped and kicked DeathMeramon squarely in the chest.
He slammed against a tree and sneered, "I still can beat you and I want your spirit!"
The digimon charged, swing his chains menacingly. Archdramon sighed and said, "How many times do I have to tell you? I am mortally bonded with my spirit. You cannot separate us because we are one. If you kill me, the spirit will disappear."
"I don't care of your stupid policy!" DeathMeramon threw a punch, but Archdramon nimbly dodged it. His foe cried in rage, "How did you come out of your binds?!"
"I had to break it," Archdramon simply said. "I must destroy you. Incinerate Feathers!"
Deathmeramon absorbed it and he grew. Archdramon gasped.
"Flaming Arrow!"
It didn't even faze him. DeathMeramon cackled as he swung his metal chains at Archdramon.
He was flung into a tree. Archdramon slid down.
"Fire will not work on him?!" Archdramon murmured to himself.
"Then, how will we win?"
Just as Tasuke stood up, holding a clothed thing, vines wrapped around his limbs!
"Nani?!" he screamed as he dropped Archdramon's spirit. He was being reeled back by a bunch of Vegiemon. They snickered, as Tasuke was held high.
"We've got him, now! DeathMeramon would be very happy."
"Let me go!" Tasuke demanded as he tied to pry open the vines, but of no avail.
"Hey, guys! Guess what the kid dug up! The spirit of fire!" One of the Vegiemon cried as he picked up the metal relic from its safety. Tasuke growled. He found a card in his pocket and slashed it.
"Digimon Summon! Lynxmon!"
Lynxmon screeched as it tackled the Vegiemon down. Tasuke landed gracefully to the ground as the summoned digimon disappeared into his digivice. He said in a serious tone, "I do not want to hurt you. Just give me the spirit."
The Vegiemon holding the spirit of Fire said slyly, "Fine then, boy, you can have it."
He tossed the spirit over Tasuke head! Tasuke tried to catch it, but more vines restrained him and he fell down.
The spirit clattered on the ground. Then time slowed down as it split in half and disintegrated in front of Tasuke's eyes.
The combats were at a stand still. They panted, eyeing each other. Then Archdramon moaned in pain and his data began to break up.
"No!" He growled. "I cannot lose! My spirit is strong. He cannot be gone!"
Then he missed his enemy's move as he was kicked and DeathMeramon grasped him by the throat. Archdramon choked.
"Archdramon!" A purple bird the size of a 747 jet arrived on the battle scene.
"No! He's not-!" Hitori gasped. LadyDepthmon shook her head, "We are too late. Archdramon is going to die."
Kayaku said sternly, "No! We will help Archdramon for Tasuke."
"But, they don't even like each other," Sayuka protested, but Kayaku already drew his card, "Blowing up into flames and getting a fire dragon is no coincidence! It is now, or never! Digimon Summon! Evolution!"
A stream of digital code wrapped around him.
"Loupmon!"
"This is going to be tough," Loupmon muttered. "Glacier cut!"
It didn't affect DeathMeramon, his blue flames flickered as Loupmon's attack melted and then evaporated.
"Ouch! This one's on fire!" Loupmon yelped. Then Lyremon stepped up.
"Star Blast!"
"Heavy Metal FireBall!" She flunged back against a boulder with her body covered with steaming liquid metal.
She shrieked.
"No…" Tasuke lay there, open-eyed.
"No!" He yelled as his moved his body an inch and tried to touch the last remnants of the spirit. His hand touched the spot where it lied and it brought tears to his eyes.
"I cannot lose him!" He yelled as he slammed his fist on the ground. Then his right hand burst into flames!
"Nani?!" he screamed as he was suddenly turned into a blaze. The vines that secured him were fried to crisp and the Vegiemon were frightened and left the chamber.
"Where am I?" Tasuke asked as he rubbed his head. He was somewhere inside a world of flames, standing on a black platform. Then, he saw a young boy his age approaching him from out of nowhere. The boy wore a tan hat backwards with goggles. He had a red shirt over his goldenrod T-shirt with brown pants and orange shoes. The boy stopped and said, "I have waited for you, Isamaryuu Tasuke-kun."
"How did you-?" Tasuke was surprised. The boy smiled as his brown eyes glinted, "Plenty of research. I know who you are. You are my next successor to hold the Spirit of Fire."
"Err… Wrong guy. Isn't Archdramon supposed to hold it? I haven't had any experience or clue with it." Tasuke waved his hands in front of his face, rejecting the boy's idea.
"Well," the boy smirked as he held up Tasuke's right wrist, "does this explain your inheritance?"
Tasuke gawked at his hand as the Japanese character suddenly changed into the Symbol of Fire.
"Um…I guess," Tasuke murmured. The boy slapped his forehead.
"Say yes! Baka!"
"Uh…yes?" Tasuke blinked. The kid smiled and said, "The Spirit of Fire is not dead. The relic evolved and it has chosen you."
"…." That was Tasuke's reply.
"I can't believe a Chosen Child like you can't understand this situation."
"Chosen Child? No way. I'm just a Summoner."
"You are though," the child replied as his hand started to glow and a small red sphere appeared in his hand. Then it changed into a digimon card.
"Well, anyway, I like you to have the spirit, Tasuke. Take good care of it, but remember, there are two parts to the Spirit of Fire. You must find the beast. I gave you the human. Now, say 'hi' to Archdramon for me!"
Tasuke stuttered, "But-!"
"Do not complain. Say Spirit Evolution! And find all the spirits before it is too late!" The boy cried as the flaming chamber started to fade.
Tasuke yelled, "What is your name?"
"Namae?" the boy pointed at his nose. He smiled, "Kanbara Takuya."
Tasuke snapped from his dream. He dug into his pants and pulled out the digimon card. It had the picture of the Spirit of Fire H on it. He smirked. "Thank you, Takuya."
Then the Vegiemon approached him, waving their vines around threateningly.
"I don't think so…" Tasuke muttered to himself. He raised his card above his head, showing that the Spirit of Fire still lives.
/The summoning was a bit different. A small white outline drew itself over the spirit's picture and it flashed. While Tasuke slashed the glowing card, the digimon summoner's symbol appeared without the DS behind him, which was replaced by the Symbol of Fire.
"Digimon Summon! Spirit Evolution!"
The card bursted into flames and the symbol along with the clothes disappeared. Tasuke was floating inside of a hologram of the spirit of fire. Then the spirit poured out fire as it roared. Tasuke's skin changed as pieces of the 2-D version of the armor appeared above the body. The armor conjoined together on a grid sheet and they came closer to Tasuke.
The screen exploded into flames and it cleared, revealing a face with a red Greymon-like mask. He has sky blue eyes and flaming, long blond hair. He smirked as he fell gracefully on a black, hexagon platform, doing an awesome move with flames coming out of his gauntlets. The digimon gave an offensive pose as he roared. /
"Agnimon!"
The Vegiemon charged wildly on minute. The next moment they were thrown back against the walls by an incredible strong warrior. The digi-code wrapped around them and Agnimon got their data in a second. He looked at himself and muttered, "Whoa."
He was two feet taller than before, wearing red and white chest armor decorated by swirling golden flame. Agnimon had the symbol of fire fasten to his stomach by two metal straps. He had thigh armor also strapped with two metal rings. The Warrior of Flame looked down at his red armored boots and saw the holes, which can spurt out fire. He noticed them on his shoulders and on his gauntlets. He did deserve to have the title "pyromaniac".
Agnimon chuckled, similar to Tasuke's chuckle.
Suddenly, Archdramon stopped fading. DeathMeramon dashed him against a tree. Archdramon groaned as he barely lifted his eyes. DeathMeramon cackled as he pressed his face against the dragon's, "You lose and so are your companions. I will absorb your data for my vengeance! Any request?"
Archdramon spat on the ground. He said determinedly in a hoarse voice, "He's back."
"Don't joke with me. Ruagh!" DeathMeramon tossed him against the front wall of the building.
Archdramon slid down, beaten and bruised. DeathMeramon was about to destroy him, but LadyDepthmon managed to catch his eye.
"Typhoon Force!" He batted it away towards the attacker. The mermaid fell. Hitori tried to caress her digimon.
Archdramon muttered as he blacked out. "Help me…"
Tasuke heard his digimon's voice. Then his blood was burning. His flame surrounded his body as the flickering inferno caused the walls and ceiling to crumble.
The fortress exploded into flames. The Agumon back away from the awesome sight and bowed on one knee. Agnimon's fires engulfed Archdramon's unconscious body. The rest of Vegiemon were fried vegetables. The flames continued to sparkle as Archdramon walked out of the pillar of fire. He was totally revived into his normal state. Sayuka and her friends were awed by the spectacle. Lyremon screeched, "Oh dear. I would have to live through my life with him again?!"
Archdramon said coolly, "DeathMeramon, you are really busted."
The fire vanished; leaving Agnimon with his hands crossed floating in midair. He drifted slowly towards the ground and he took his offensive stance. Ailerodramon stared as he pulled out a metal tablet and pushed a button. A hologram of him on a platform appeared with stats.
"Agnimon of Flame. Level is Human Hybrid. His attacks are Salamander Break and Burning Salamander. Hmmm…He's the legendary warrior?" Ailerodramon muttered as he looked at the new ally. Loupmon asked him, "Where did you get that?"
"Inheritance."
"I am sick of your ways, DeathMeramon," Agnimon said to the shocked digimon.
DeathMeramon recovered and sneered, "Years of vengeance and I have found you again. My dream of becoming a Guardian will come true. Archdramon is useless. I want your power, your strength. Will you-?"
"Enough of whining," Agnimon twitched, "if you want to become a Guardian, you will have to fight me. If you lose, I'll show no mercy on what you did to my companion."
"My pleasure! Heavy Metal Fireball!" He heaved into and exhaled blue flames toward Agnimon. He flipped backwards, avoiding them. The warrior jumped up and pummeled DeathMeramon with his kicks and punches. Every time the enemy tried to lay even a finger on him, Agnimon moved to a different place and hacked and kicked.
"He's faster than I remember he was," Archdramon muttered.
Sayuka had hearts in her eyes, "He's so handsome."
Kayaku rolled his eyes.
"Heavy Metal Fireball!" The sudden flames startled Agnimon as it burned at his face. As Agnimon hesitated, shaking his head, DeathMeramon gave him a punch.
"Shit!" Agnimon muttered as he slid across the burning work site.
"Heat Chain!" DeathMeramon managed to grab Agnimon's wrist by his chain. He pulled, but was suddenly dragged towards Agnimon. Agnimon grinned mischievously. "It looks like I win. RRRRUUUUAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!"
With the chains, he deliberately tossed DeathMeramon head over heels into the blank air. As the manacles loosened on him, Agnimon's wrist began to erupt with fire and he began to spin until a fire tornado appeared. It had engulfed DeathMeramon's entire body!
"SALAMANDER…"
The flaming tornado went on for a while as the rest of the summoners were awed by the works. Lyremon had a sour face as LadyDepthmon literary dropped her sword. The fire abruptly stopped as Agnimon gave a fatal uppercut to DeathMeramon.
"BREAK!"
DeathMeramon floated in mid air as a rainbow ribbon appeared around him. Agnimon lands softly on the ground and unclipped his digivice, "There is a devil within your accursed spirit. Let my flames purify it. Digi-Code…Scan!"
He jammed an empty card into the slot as the ribbon-like data was sucked into the digivice. The card glistened, revealing DeathMeramon. He muttered as he looked at the card, "Now, that ought to shut you up."
The entire work site roared in happiness as Agnimon was bewildered on sudden outbursts that he unexpectedly de-evolved back into Tasuke. As the digi-code unraveled itself, Tasuke was on the floor with dizzy eyes.
Archdramon ran up to Tasuke and swatted on the ground, poking his shoulder, "Agnimon? You did it."
'Giragira to moe
agare hitomi no chikara
Kesenai yuuki de, Get a fire power!'
The Spirit of Fire lives!
*smiles* *cracks a few knuckles* There! Then and done! Now, it's a whole new frontier. Anyway, don't forget to read and review! ^-^ Noi, Happy Thanksgiving! And this is a gift from me to you. Now, time to fry some turkey!
A few pointers:
DeathMeramon = SkullMeramon
Salamander Break, I theorized, deals with a big kick in the end. In my story, it would be either a punch or kick.
Good-bye!
*Runs off* *trips* *stumbles into her cave* Geez…oh well *sleeps* snore…
