By Ninetalesuk
A/N: Inumon and his Digivolved forms are owned by Youkai Youko and Liv. They are cousins.
DIGITAL WORLD.
Man. Thought Tristan, as he followed Herodramon's group to a mountain. Wish I was a Tamer.
After collecting the 3rd piece and Tea getting her very own Digimon, SnowAgumon, the group headed
to their next location where the 4th piece of the Imperial Seal is hidden. Upon Howling Mountain.
"Why is it called Howling Mountain?" Ask Joey's Red Eyes Black Dragon.
Herodramon looked up. "Howling Mountain is home to Digimon that resembles canines."
"Canines?" Ask Kazu.
"Yes. They look like dogs or wolves." Herodramon finished.
SnowAgumon gulped. "Who is their leader?"
"Dunno." Herodramon said. "Haven't heard them for a while."
"I wonder what is up." Henry said.
"Maybe THEY have a reason." Joey said as he climbed up a rock. "After all, we ARE going to their
homeplace. Whats the worst that could happen?"
Mokuba and Penguinmon tried to catch up as Penguinmon was slow on walking AND running. He IS
a penguin, you know.
"Hurry up, Penguinmon!" Mokuba shouted. "Your suppose to run!"
"Kid." Penguinmon said, smirking. "With my feet as flippers, this IS running!"
Mokuba laughed. "Oh yeah, I forgot."
Penguinmon smiled as he caught up with his Tamer. Mokuba and Penguinmon shared a laugh until...
"Hold it right there!"
They both gasped as a Digimon cross between Renamon and Dobermon landed in front of them.
"Your not going anywhere." The dog Digimon said, sneering.
Tristan spotted what has happened to Mokuba and ran over to the dog Digimon. "Hey, you creep!"
The dog Digimon turned around to face Tristan. "Your talking to me?"
"Yeah!" Tristan said. "I'm talking to you!
Ryo and Monodramon joined up with Mokuba and Penguinmon. "Whos that guy?" Mokuba asked.
Ryo looked into his D-Power and the data came out. "His name is Inumon. Rookie level. Virus type.
Hell Hound Digimon. Special attacks are Hell Arrows and Deadly Claw."
"So, Inumon is your name huh?" Tristan said.
"That is correct, human!" Inumon said, sneering. "Now, leave this place! It belongs to me!"
Tristan raised his fist. "What is your problem, buddy?"
"Nothing." Inumon said, snickering. "I just don't want to waste my time with a weakling like you.
Now, leave."
"Weakling?" Tristan shouted. "Why I out..."
"Inumon!" Yelled a voice. "STOP!"
Inumon sighed as a small yellow dog appeared beside him.
"Aww...!" Tea screamed, stars in her eyes. "Hes cute!"
SnowAgumon sweatdropped. "Ooooooookay."
Guardromon looked at the yellow dog. "Whos that puppy, Kazu?"
Kazu looked at his D-Power and the data came out. "Labramon. Rookie level. Vaccine type. Animal
Digimon. His attacks are Retrieving and Cure Liquor."
Herodramon looked at Inumon and Labramon. "Hmm. They must be from Howling Mountain."
Henry nodded. "Thats right! Maybe they can help us find the 4th piece of the Imperial Seal!"
"Labramon would but Inumon? I don't think so!" Terriermon said.
"As much as I hate to say it, he's right." Henry sighed.
"I will pretend NOT to hear THAT!" Terriermon said, pouting.
Labramon looked at Mokuba and Penguinmon. "Excuse for my friend here. He has trouble saying
'hello' to new people."
"If thats 'hello', I hate to see what 'goodbye' is." Tristan said.
"Want me to show it, pal!" Inumon said, growling.
"Yeah! Prove it!" Tristan said, almost shouting.
Joey quickly got beside Tristan. "Tristan! Stop! Excuse my friend here. He has trouble saying
'goodbye' to new people."
"Oh brother." Kokuwamon said.
"You can say that again." Bakura sighed.
"Oh brother." Kokuwamon said, causing a chuckle from Bakura.
Herodramon landed between Tristan and Inumon. "All right. Tristan, go somewhere and cool off.
And Inumon, we are sent on a mission by the Sovereigns to collect the Imperial Seal pieces. And
we'll need your help to find the Canine Village."
"Don't bother, it's a waste of time, really." Inumon said, growling.
"What!" Monodramon said. "How come?"
"Th... The village is destroyed..." Labramon said, causing a few gasps.
"What!" Kazu yelled. "How are we gonna get some food and sleep!"
Labramon smiled. "You can stay here tonight."
"WHAT?" Inumon gasped. "Labramon! No, they can't..."
"They have to, Inumon." Labramon said, kindly. "The Sovereign DID send them."
Inumon looked at Labramon and sighed. "Fine then." With that, he went away.
"Man..." Joey sighed. "Whats with that guy."
Tristan didn't answer.
Tea looked at SnowAgumon. "Tristan and Inumon have something in common."
"Whats that?" SnowAgumon asked.
"Those two are trying to be like tough-guys but, they do have a heart of gold." Tea said.
"Do you really think Inumon has a heart of gold?" SnowAgumon asked.
"I know so!" Tea said. "And so does Tristan."
Night has fallen in the Digital World. Nighttime Digimon came out to rummage for food, water
and other stuff. It was suppose to be peaceful and quiet but, not tonight as Neo rode on a
gigantic Digimon through the desert.
WarDevidramon's lackeys are so useless Neo thought. They sended MarineDevimon, Drenholmon,
WaruSeadramon, Arukenimon, Dokugumon, Flymon, Roachmon, MetalTyrannomon, DarkTyrannomon and
Tuskmon and yet, those trash Tamers were able to get the 3 pieces and have 3 new more trash
Tamers. Neo shook his head. DemiDevimon and Datamon are so useless! Why does WarDevidramon
keep those morons! Neo looked to his left and smiled. With THIS Digimon, not only I will
destroy those trash Tamers but, I will also destory the Imperial Crests!
Neo laughed. "Their time is up, my friend. Those trash Tamers are going down!"
Thus, an evil laughter from the gigantic Digimon before their journey continued...
Herodramon and his group all started to rest after their long journey. Labramon was happy to give
them some food while Inumon was gone for a long time. As soon as the Tamers and their Digimon
finished their meal, Tristan got up and streched.
"I need to splash myself with some water. I feel a bit drowsy" Tristan said, walking off.
Tea nodded. "Be careful."
"Don't worry!" Tristan called back. "Careful is my middle name."
"Yeah. And 'Not' is Joey's middle name." Terriermon said.
"HEY!" Joey yelled.
"Terriermon!" Henry scowled. "What do you say to Joey?"
"Erm... Momentai, Joey?" Said Terriermon, putting a innocent face on.
Red Eyes chuckled. "Close enough, little one. Close enough."
"Little one! I'll show you whos little!" Terriermon said.
"And they say YOU are too cocky." Mokuba said to Penguinmon.
"Can't argue with you there, Mokuba." Penguinmon said.
Tristan walked over to a pond and kneeled beside it. Cupping some water in his hands before
splashing it into his face. He gave a shake before giving a happy sigh.
"Thats better." Tristan mumbled. He got up and was about to go until he saw Inumon sitting on
a rock, staring into the night sky. "There's Inumon... I should say sorry to him for acting like
a jerk earlier."
Tristan walked over to Inumon, whom looked at the human and growled. "You again!"
"Listen, Inumon." Tristan said, calmly. "We've gone on the wrong track today. I didn't want to
start a fight but, I was only confronting you because I was protecting Mokuba."
Inumon was silent before sighing. "And I'm sorry too. I'm just weary against strangers."
"Oh really?" Tristan said, sarcasticly. "My name is Tristan."
"Hello, Tristan." Said Inumon, before staring into the night sky.
"So, why is the Canine Village destroyed?" Tristan asked.
"None of your business." Inumon said, sneering. "What is YOUR reason to find the Imperial Seals?"
"We are collecting them to summon Imperialdramon to make sure that an evil Digimon doesn't enter
the Real World known as Earth." Tristan explained, as he sat beside Inumon.
Inumon turned to face Tristan, he was intrested by this. "Really?"
"Yeah, really." Tristan said. "We've got 3 pieces so far so, we need to know where the remaining
2 are."
"Who is this Digimon your trying to make sure he doesn't enter your world?" Inumon asked, as if
he knows the answer.
"His name is WarDevidramon." Tristan said, with a sigh.
"I knew it!" Inumon said, growling. "That monster!"
"You met him?" Tristan asked.
"Met him! Hes the one who destroyed the village where I was casted away from!" Inumon said.
"WarDevidramon destroyed the village!" Tristan asked, with a gasp. "When! And.. And what do
you mean, 'casted away'! Please tell me, Inumon!"
Inumon started to calm down and looked at his reflection in the pond. "I was born in Canine
Village where I was the only Virus type Digimon of the Canine clan. Yet, people accepted me.
Including my best friend, Labramon, until one day... He came along."
"He? You mean WarDevidramon?" Tristan asked.
"No..." Inumon shook his head, sadly. "YamiGarurumon."
"YamiGarurumon?" Tristan asked. "Who is that!"
"YamiGarurumon is also known as BlackGarurumon. He came into my village and almost destroyed it.
Afetr he was gone forever, the villagers started to distrust me except Labramon, he stood beside
me all the time." Inumon continued.
"YamiGarurumon must be a Virus type so, the villagers know you were a Virus type and they
couldn't trust another Virus ever again?" Tristan asked.
"Thats right." Inumon said. "Two days later, they called me to a meeting where they tell me that
I was banished from the village for good! Labramon was my only friend after the YamiGarurumon
attack and stood with me for a long time."
"I'm guessing after you left, WarDevidramon came and destroyed your village." Tristan asked.
"Yes... He came into my village and tore it apart! Killing everyone with his claws and absorbing
their data while he was at it! When he left, me and Labramon were the sole survivors... The only
memorial of that village was the Imperial Seal you are looking for." Inumon said.
"Your guarding the 4th Imperial Seal piece?" Tristan asked.
"Yes... The only thing to remember my village." Inumon said, sadly. "All because of that evil,
vile monster, WarDevidramon!"
Tristan placed his hand on Inumon's shoulder. "I'm sorry. Don't worry, we'll teach WarDevidramon
a lesson he'll NEVER forget!"
Inumon smiled. "Thank you, Tristan."
Tristan gave Inumon the thumbs up. "Don't sweat, pal. Come on, you'll need some food."
"Well, I am hungry." Inumon said, standing up.
Tristan stood up as well. "Come on then. Let's see what Terriermon left behind."
Inumon chuckled. "Okay then."
Then, the both of them walked back to the others where they had a good sleep.
It was the next morning where everyone was fast asleep. It was peaceful until...
"SO, THERE YOU ARE!"
Everyone woke up to see a boy standing on a ledge.
"Whos that guy?" Terriermon asked.
Ryo gasped. "NEO!"
"That's Neo?" Henry asked.
"The one and only." Neo said, a smile and a sneer.
Tea got up and pointed his finger. "He's working for WarDevidramon!"
"What!" Joey yelled. "Your working for that creep?"
"Thats right." Neo said. "My last appereance had a small scar."
"Correct." Ryo said. "With Taomon defeating your SkullSatamon and you killing your own Digimon!"
"BlackMetalGreymon..." Calumon said, sadly.
"Don't remind me." Neo said, grimly. "I can't believe I lost twice! Well, I am now on a new
mission for WarDevidramon!"
"And whats that?" Penguinmon asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Kokuwamon said. "He's after the Imperial Seals. When he gets them..."
"He'll destroy them!" SnowAgumon gasped. "We can't let him get the pieces!"
"Momentai." Terriermon said, as he jumped beside Monodramon. "We'll be fine. He hasn't got any
Digimon with him."
"Think again." Herodramon said.
"Wha... What do you mean!" Labramon asked.
"He's got on hidden and he's really big." Herodramon said, growling.
"Aw, you spoiled my surprise. Oh well! Appear!" Neo yelled as a giant Digimon landed beside him.
Kazu gasped. "Oh man... It's VenomMyotismon!"
Mokuba looked at his D-Power, scared. "VenomMyotismon. Mega level. Virus type. Evil Digimon. One
of Myotismon's Digivolved form. Special attacks, Venom Infusion and Nightmare Claw."
Terriermon looked at Henry. "We both know what he have to do!"
"Yeah!" Henry said. It's time for MegaGargomon to stand up He held his D-Power into the air.
"Let's go, Terriermon!"
"Ready, Monodramon!" Ryo yelled.
"Ready!" Monodramon said.
Neo sneered as he hopped onto VenomMyotismon's shoulder. "Deal with these pests."
VenomMyotismon smiled. "Of course." He gave out a loud scream, where the shockwaves knocked
Terriermon and Monodramon into a wall made of rock.
"Terriermon!" Henry yelled.
"Monodramon!" Ryo yelled.
As Henry and Ryo picked up their partners, Kazu gulped and turned to Guardromon. "They are both
out so, MegaGargomon and Justimon aren't coming."
"We're doomed." Guardromon said.
"Not exactly!" Joey said, stepping up.
"What are you doing!" Inumon yelled.
"We've got 2 Ultimates and 4 Champions on our side here. We've got to fight to the bitter end!"
Joey said. "Ready, Red Eyes?"
"I'm ready as always." Red Eyes said.
"Your right." Tea said. "Let's do it, SnowAgumon!"
"I shall." SnowAgumon said.
Mokuba looked at Penguinmon. "Be careful."
"I will." Penguinmon said.
"Do it, Kokuwamon!" Bakura shouted.
"You can count on me!" Kokuwamon said.
Kazu held a fist into the air. "Go for it, Guardromon!"
"I'm going, Kazu." Guardromon said, stepping up.
Herodramon held his sword. "Come on, everyone! FIGHT!"
"Go! Go! GO!" Shouted Calumon.
DIGIVOLUTION
"Penguinmon Digivolve to... SEADRAMON!"
"Kokuwamon Digivolve to... KUWAGAMON!"
"SnowAgumon Digivolve to... VEEDRAMON!"
Red Eyes, Herodramon, Seadramon, Kuwagamon, Veedramon and Guardromon all lined up to face against
Neo and his VenomMyotismon.
"Is that all?" Neo smirked. "Give it your best shot."
"Ice Winder!" Yelled Seadramon.
"Power Guillotine!" Yelled Kuwagamon.
"Vee Arrow Breath!" Yelled Veedramon.
"Molteon Fireball!" Yelled Red Eyes Black Dragon.
"Guardian Barrage!" Yelled Guardromon.
"Dragon Time Slash!" Yelled Herodramon.
Six attacks struck into VenomMyotismon's chest, but the Mega Digimon didn't flinch. He simply
raised his claws and... "Nightmare Claw!"
Herodramon held up his shield as VenomMyotismon's attack struck it. "Now, it's my turn!" The
Ultimate dragon yelled as his shield glowed. "Star Laser!"
A star shaped laser came out of Herodramon's shield and struck into VenomMyotismon's head, which
didn't made him flinch as well.
"Hahaha!" Laughed Neo. "That is ALL! Ha! You are worthless!"
"Nothing..." Labramon said, sadly. "It's didn't made too much damage at him."
Inumon made a fist. "Neo is the worst Tamer ever! A good Tamer is someone with a heart!"
Neo heard this. "Oh, really? Well, let's show that mutt who is a good Tamer. VenomMyotismon!"
"Of course." VenomMyotismon said, turning to Inumon. "Say goodbye! Venom Infusion!"
His attack headed towards Inumon. Oh no! I can't get out of the way in time! I'm finished
Before Inumon know it, he found himself on the floor, watching Labramon getting hit by the Venom
Infusion. "Labramon! NO!"
"What happened!" Tristan asked.
"Labramon pushed Inumon away in time before he was hit! He didn't save himself." Tea explained,
with a sad and shocked expression in her voice.
"Oh no!" Tristan said as he ran over to Labramon's side.
Inumon kneeled beside Labramon and picked him up gently, with tears in his eyes. "Labramon, why
did you save me?"
"I didn't want you to die, my friend." Labramon said, with a shaky voice. "I wanted to see you
live forever."
"Labramon..." Inumon said, almost crying. "Don't go... Your my best friend!"
"Your my best friend too, Inumon..." Labramon said before resting his head on Inumon's chest and
closing his eyes. "Goodbye..."
Before Inumon's very eyes, Labramon burst into small data before vanishing into thin air. "No..
No... NO! LABRAMON!"
"He's gone..." Henry said, sadly. He bowed his head with tears coming out of his eyes. "I'm so
sorry, Inumon..."
"He... He can't be... He can't be! Labramon!" Inumon yelled in pain, tears rolling down
his cheeks.
Tristan was in shock as he saw Labramon die. "Inumon..." He turned to Neo and VenomMyotismon
in a huge rage. "YOU MONSTER! COME AND FIGHT US LIKE A MAN!"
"All right." Neo smirked. "Kill them."
"Right!" VenomMyotismon said.
Before VenomMyotismon could attack, a giant flash and a purple object rose from the ground in
front of Tristan and Inumon.
"WHAT?" Neo gasped. "The 4th Imperial Seal!"
The Imperial Seal glowed and formed an object in Tristan's hand. A purple D-Power.
"Inumon..." Tristan said.
Inumon smiled, wiping the tears away. "Let's do it for Labramon." With that, he started to
glow brightly.
Yes... Let's avange him, my friend Tristan thought.
DIGIVOLUTION
Inumon transformed into a black hound that stood on four legs.
"Inumon Digivolve to... HELLINUMON!"
"HellInumon. Champion level. Virus type. Hell Hound Digimon. Digivolved form of Inumon. His
special attacks are Black Fire and Black Thunder." Kazu said, scanning the new Champion Digimon.
"Not good enough." Joey grunted. "What can HellInumon do to save us!"
"You just watch." Tristan said. "GO FOR IT!"
"I shall!" HellInumon said, running towards VenomMyotismon.
Neo laughed. "You think Hell-something can save you now! Think again!"
"This is for Labramon!" HellInumon said. "Black Thunder!"
A black lightning bolt struck the ground in front of VenomMyotismon, creating a huge crack.
"What was the point in THAT!" Seadramon asked.
"Neo and VenomMyotismon are near a cliff." Veedramon explained.
Neo gasped and turned around. Veedramon was right, he WAS on a cliff! HellInumon was just
weakening the cliff so VenomMyotismon's weight could make himself and Neo fall!
"VenomMyotismon!" Neo yelled. "Jump!"
"Too late!" VenomMyotismon yelled as the cliff gave in as he and Neo fell.
"They are falling!" Tea gasped.
Ryo ran over to the edge of the cliff and looked down, watching VenomMyotismon falling with Neo
above him. "Neo!"
"I'll get you for this!" Neo yelled. "Make my words! YOU WILL PAY!"
HellInumon walked over to Tristan. "I had no choice. I'm sorry, Tristan."
Tristan patted HellInumon's head. "I know, buddy. And I'm sorry about Labramon."
HellInumon looked over to the glowing Imperial Seal. "Take it. Add it to your collection."
"Right." Tristan said as he held his D-Power to the Imperial Seal, sucking it in. "We got it."
"Come on." Herodramon said, sadly. "Let's get off this mountain right now..."
At the bottom of the mountain, the Champion level Digimon except Guardromon changed back into
their Rookie forms and walked through the forest.
"Inumon, are you going to be all right?" Tristan asked.
Inumon looked at Tristan and smiled. "I'll be alright, Tristan." He looked up at the sky,
thinking he saw a cloud forming into Labramon's face, smiling at him. "I think I'll be fine."
"With one more piece left, we have to hurry!" Ryo said.
"Momentai." Terriermon said. "Neos gone."
"I don't think so. Neo was falling ABOVE VenomMyotismon and since his Mega Digimon is BIG! That
Mega will survive and Neo will land on him, without a scratch." Ryo explained.
"Darn!" Joey said. "And he is gonna come after us for revenge!"
"Thats right. I think we haven't seen the last of Neo!" Ryo said, snarling.
Neo stood on VenomMyotismon's shoulders, filled with rage. "You'll pay for this! All of you!
YOU'LL PAY DEARLY!"
