Wow, another chapter already? Go me!
It was two days after the defeat of the Devidramon. The DigiDestined, their Digimon, and Piximon were all well rested and ready to go and get the last Crest Weapon.
"Thanks guys!" Samantha calls out to the fading forms of the Agumon and Koromon of the Koromon Village as they walk away, "thanks for the hospitality!"
"No problem!" the chief Agumon yells back, "please come again soon!"
"How long should it take us to get to that oil rig?" Jesse asks Pixiemon.
"Perhaps Biyomon could digivolve to Ultimate and give us a ride," Pixiemon suggests, "otherwise it would be several days travel."
"Hey, Biyomon is not a taxi!" Samantha protests.
"Its okay Samantha," Biyomon says, "I can do it."
"If your sure," Samantha says, holding up her Digivive. It begins to glow.
"Biyomon digivolve to Birdramon!" Biyomon calls out.
Samantha pulls the Crest Weapon of Compassion from off her back. The Crest symbol on the shield begins to glow. A light shoots from it into Birdramon.
"Birdramon digivolve to Garudamon!" Birdramon calls out.
Garudramon holds down one of her claws for the others to climb on to.
"Everybody ready?" Garudamon asks. As soon as every tells her they are ready, she takes to the sky.
"Wow, this is incredible!" James exclaims.
"And we're going to get your Crest Weapon buddy," Eggmon says.
A few hours later, they are approaching their destination.
"Wow Garudamon, you sure are handy to have around," James tells the giant Fire Bird Digimon.
"Think nothing of it James," Garudamon says, "this was little trouble for me."
A few moments later Garudamon sets down and puts everyone back on the ground and de-digivolves to Biyomon.
"There's the oil rig!" Eggmon calls out upon sighting it from atop a small hill.
"Yeah, we noticed it before Garudamon set us down, remember?" James tells his excitable little partner.
"Well, lets hurry and find your Crest Weapon!" Eggmon wsays before running towards the refinery.
"Eggmon, wait up for the rest of us!" James yells as he runs after his partner.
"I think those two really complement each other," Jesse remarks as the rest walk at a hurried pace after them.
"How so?" Daniel asks.
"Well, James is a bit shy and reserved while Eggmon is open and carefree," Jesse explains, "and that's pretty much the way the rest of our partners are."
"What do you mean by that?" Brian asks.
"Well, Magimon is reserved and cautious, thinking ahead, whereas you leap headfirst into a situation without thinking of the consequences," Jesse replies, "Biyomon is caring and truly compassionate, whereas Samantha practically has to be forced to care about anyone other than her brother."
"Hey!" Samantha protests.
"I'm just telling it as I see it," Jesse replies, "Tapirmon is inquisitive, just like you Daniel. He complements your own personality with his own wisdom. Heromon complements me pretty much the same way. He's a lot like me, though he has his own personality quirks. He's a bit hotheaded whereas I am patient."
"We can all learn a lot from our partner," Brian says, "it's as if they are a missing part of ourselves."
"Now that's a disturbing thought," Samantha comments, "what does that say about Jesse then?" Jesse laughs at this.
"Heromon is what I always wanted to be," Jesse says when he finally stops laughing, "a warrior. Someone who fights for a noble cause with little heed to their own safety. Someone with the well being of someone else placed high above their own."
"And yet, now you are what you wanted to be," Samantha muses. Jesse blinks at that statement. He thinks about it for a moment.
"Admit it Jesse, you are now what you just said you always wanted to be: a hrero," Heromon tells his partner.
"You're not a hero unless you've done something truly heroic," Jesse retorts, "and so far I have done absolutely nothing heroic."
"What about fighting Dragomon or destroying Vilemon?" Brian asks.
"Fighting Dragomon like that was stupid and we just got lucky when it came to defeating Vilemon," Jesse replies simply.
Would you risk yourself against Dragomon again if the situation was again uncertain?" Pixiemon asks.
"Probably," Jesse replies, "the lives of these kids is truly my responsibility even though I let Brian make the decision. If something happened to any of them before this adventure is over that will leave a lasting mark, then I'd never be able to forgive myself?"
"What do you think nearly getting yourself killed against Dragomon did to us?" Samantha cries out, "you probably scared years out of our lives from that stunt!"
"You've got a point," Jesse muses, "and yet I was still acting with your safety in mind. MagnaWarriormon and I were the only ones capable of defeating him. And yet all we were able to do was seal him away in the Dark Ocean. And we nearly got sealed away with him."
"Hey, we're there," Daniel tells them, interrupting their arugement.
They look at the building before them. Sure enough, they had made it to the oil refinery. But James and Eggmon had already disappeared into it, probably to look for their Crest Weapon.
"Well, should we go and look for them or wait until they come out?" Jesse asks.
"Dark Deluge!" A evil sounding voice cries out. Black and yellow flames spew forth in front of them.
"It's MarineDevimon!" Heromon cries out as he draws his sword, "he's a Sea Animal Digimon, but he's extremely evil and powerful. He is aligned with the powers of Darkness. His Dark Deluge is extremely potent. He's an Ultimate level Digimon."
"Well then, I guess you had better digivolve!" Jesse says, holding up his Digivice. Brian, Samantha, and Daniel do the same.
"Biyomon digivolve to Birdramon!" Biyomon calls out.
"Magimon digivolve to Wizardmon!" Magimon calls out.
"Tapirmon digivolve to Apemon!" Tapirmon calls out.
"Heromon digivolve to Warrior!" Heromon calls out.
Samantha, Brian, and Daniel's Crest Weapons light up with their distinctive colors. A beam of light comes forth from each Crest Weapon and hits the Digimon.
"Birdramon digivolve to Garudamon!" Birdramon calls out.
"Apemon digivolve to Mammothmon!" Apemon calls out.
"Wizardmon digivolve to MetalWizardmon!" Wizardmon calls out.
"Dark Deluge!" MarineDevimon bellows as he attacks with his dark flames pewing from his motuh.
"Boy, does he need a breath mint!" Jesse says as a foul stink overcomes them.
"That's not MarineDevimon!" Pixiemon calls out, "that's Raremon! I'd recognize that stink anywhere!" Suddenly, a large, reeking, ugly looking Digimon appears from the water. Jesse had assumed that it was just garbage. He wasn't far off.
"Raremon is a foul Digimon who uses his Breath of Decay to force his enemies to decompose," Pixiemon explains as he readies to battle Raremon, "he's almost as lethal as his odor!"
"Breath of Decay!" Raremon calls out, sending a noxious green cloud after Pixiemon. Pixiemon retreats to a higher altitude whee the smell and the attack won't reach him. Unfortunately, Jesse and the other humans weren't so lucky. They didn't get hit with the attack, but the odor was bad enough.
"Pit Bomb!" Pixiemon calls out, sending his trademark attack at Raremon. The attack hits Raremon and he immediately dissolves.
Meanwhile, James and Eggmon were wandering aimlessly through the oil refinery. They were hopelessly lost.
"Look on the bright side James, as least you're lost with me," Eggmon says.
"A lot of good that is doing me," James sighs, "you're worse than my cousins when it comes to jokes. And what you call charm I call foolishness."
"Hey, just because you don't have any charm doesn't mean I don't have to!" Eggomon retorts.
"Hey, is it me, or is there a strange glow at the end of this hall?" James asks suddenly.
"Huh?" Eggmon asks.
"Look ahead," James says, pointing.
Indeed, a faint purple glow was emanating from around a corner up ahead.
"Think that's the Crest Weapon?" Eggmon asks.
"Judging from the descriptions that the others gave, more than likely," James says.
"Everyone except for Jesse," Eggmon corrects, "he never really described his journey in Infinity Mountain."
"Yeah, but I'll bet it was similar to this," James says, "only the glow was a different color."
"Well, what are we waiting for, lets go!" Eggmon says, taking off for the hallway where the glow was coming from.
"Hey, wait up!" James cries out as he rushes after Eggmon.
Sure enough, the glow was emanating from what was without a doubt a Crest Weapon. It was a staff, and on one end of it was a symbol that meant Perseverance.
"So this is my Crest Weapon," James mutters, "too bad it doesn't fit me. I just take what life gives me and make do with that."
"And what do you think preseverance means?" Eggmon asks, "it means that you can handle whatever task you are given without it taking much out of you. Out of everyone, you handled Jesse and Heromon's disappearance the best. You just do not give yourself enough credit buddy."
James is silent.
"Think about it," Eggmon tells him, "everything that has happened to you since you arrived in the Digital World hardly affects you. You just take it and move on. If that's not perseverance, then what is?"
After a moment, James agrees with him. "You're right," he tells Eggmon, "I do handle all of this pretty well. Maybe I do deserve the Crest Weapon of Perseverance."
"Well, then pick it up!" Eggmon tells him. James reaches for the Crest Weapon of Perseverance. The moment he touches it, the light flares up radiantly around it, though it looks as if the Crest itself on the Crest Weapon was pulling it all in. A few seconds later, the Crest Weapon is lifted off of its Pedastal and rests in James' hands.
"This is so cool," James murmurs, "let's go and show the others."
"Right!" Eggmon says cheerfully. The two walk out to find the others. But what they come across is not a welcoming sight. Of the various Digimon, the four Ultimates and the single Champion, only Warriormon was having any effect on MarineDevimon due to the effects of his Warrior Beam and Warrior Sword attacks.
"Oh no!" James wails, "we've got to help them!" He holds up his Digivice. It begins to glow.
"Eggmon digivolve to Tamamon!" Eggmon calls out. He rushes at MarineDevimon.
"Blazing Syndrome!" he yells, launching the fire attack at MarineDevimon. It collides with the back of his head, stopping his Dark Deluge attack in his mouth. He turns to face tamamon and unleashes the interrupted attack at him.
The dark flames hit Tamamon and knock him against the wall.
"Tamamon!" James cries out, afraid for his friend.
"James, get to safety," Tamamon grunts, "quickly, before its too late."
Warrior rushes in and tries to get MarineDevimon's attention again, but to no avail. MarineDevimon just knocks him away with a tentacle, rendering him dazed.
"Wing Blade!" Garudamon yells, launching her firebird attack at MarineDevimon.
"Thunder Blades!" MetalWizardmon calls out, sending his magical sword at MarineDevimon's tentacles.
"Tusk Crusher!" Mammothmon yells, launching his tusk torpedoes.
"Pit Bomb!" Pixiemon yells, sending his bomb at MarineDevimon's skull.
MarineDevimon takes the abuse of the attacks. It looked as if they were finally wearing him down, but he still looked in better shape than the other Digimon.
"He's just too strong!" Mammothmon gasps as he collapses in exhaustion.
"Don't say that!" MetalWizardmon says as he kneels down in exhaustion.
"But Mammothmon is right," Garudamon says as she falls to the ground, "MarineDevimon is just too strong."
"I think I'll take down the annoying new one first," MarineDevimon chuckles, "just because he intrigues me." He lashes out with a tentacle, aiming right for Tamamon's chest.
Suddenly, a bright purple light flares up and a distinct clang is heard. The DigiDestined look at Tamamon and gasp.
James was blocking the tentacle with his Crest Weapon. But a brief flick of the tentacle knocks him away. Grunting, James struggles back to his feet.
"Face it, you are doomed!" MarineDevimon laughs evilly.
"Even if you destroy us, others will surely come and defeat you," James grunts, "we will persevere and defeat you and the Beast of Darkness eventually."
At that, a beam of purple light erupts from the Crest on the Crest Weapon of Perseverance and hits Tamamon.
"Tamamon digivolve to Digitamamon!" Tamamon calls out. When the light fades, Digitamamon is standing there.
"Digitamamon is an Ultimate level Egg Digimon," Pixiemon says from above, "his Nightmare Syndromer attack will help us in our battle. When his shell is closed up, nothing can hurt him."
"Nightmare Syndromer!" Digitamamon calls out, sending the black phantasm at MarineDevimon from within the space where you could see his glowing yellow eyes.
The attack hits MarineDevimon in the face, snapping his head back and sending him sprawling in the water.
"Warrior Beam!" Warriormon calls out. The attack burns through one of MarineDevimon's tentacles.
"Don't give up guys!" Warriormon tells the others, "with Digitamamon on our side, we're sure to win."
"Dark Deluge!" MarineDevimon bellows, launching the dark flames at Digitamamon.
Digitamamon pulls in his legs and closes his eye port. The attack hits him, but does not visible damage. Digitamamon immediately springs back into action firing his Nightmare Syndromer.
"Nightmare Syndromer!" he calls out. The attack hits MarineDevimon in the face.
The battle ensues for several more minutes. Finally, the DigiDestined Digimon manage to subdue MarineDevimon, but not destroy him. Everyone, even Digitamamon, is bone tired.
"Man, his power is incredible," Jesse pants, "it's too bad he's not on our side."
Suddenlt, a beam of dark energy comes down from the sky and revitalizes MarineDevimon, undoing all of the damage that had been done to him during the battle.
"Oh man, we are so screwed," Jesse mutters as MarineDevimon bellows and attacks, knocking Pixiemon, Garudamon, and Mammothmon out in one blow.
"Nightmare Syndromer!"
"Thunder Blades!"
"Warrior Beam!"
The three attacks hit MarineDevimon, but they are at best only at half strength.
"Correction, we are royally screwed," Jesse says.
"Don't give up," Digitamamon says, "we can still beat him."
"Oh, we'll beat him all right," Jesse says, "or we'll die trying."
By the way, I've decided to model Eggmon's personality as much as I can from a mix of Digitamamon's and Gomamon's. In a way, James is Joe's predecessor. Armadillomon is a little bit like Gomamon, so Eggmon will be as well (bad jokes and all). Also, Eggmon sounds a lot like Gomamon. I don't know why, it just seems like Gomamon's voice sounds best. Not to mention it sounds the coolect out of all of the Rookie level DigiDestined Digimon.
