Chapter 8: The Second Giant Dragon
Sartomon raised his giant wings and took off into the air. BlackCunomon shook his head. 'Show off' . So far, Cunomon was the only one who digivolved. They hoped that they would all soon be able to digivolve. Alimon would become Ultimate, that would be to their advantage. Sartomon didn't want to admit it, but he agreed that if anyone was going to digivolve next, it should be Alimon. Soon, the group of 5 were walking....well 3 were walking. The other 2 flying, across the terrain.

"Where are we going?" Asked Emblemmon, still soaring high above everyone else...except Sartomon that is. Eyeing the flyer, Dinomon simply replied that they were looking for a legendary digimon. The purple dragon replied, "What kind of dragon?"

"Oh, a furry dragon. Oriental almost....and...."
"Is it all shades of one color?"
"Yeah.....why?"
"I've seen one of them!"
"Impossible!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
Sartomon and Dinomon, on ground, were glaring at eachother. Sweatdropping, BlackCunomon barged between them. "Okay! Now what's this about a dragon?"
Sartomon quickly explained how he had met Firedramon. If the fact that seeing one didn't surprise them, her size did. He said that time froze for him, and he met Firedramon, who was gigantic. She gave him the Omogan. To prove it, he hands it out. Dinomon's eyes narrowed. "How do we know you got this from Firedramon?" "'Cause I did!"

Although he wasn't believing him, Dinomon walked on, with a kind of look that said 'Yeah right!'. Sartomon growled, but said nothing more. Emblemmon wasn't as skeptical, but she still wondered if it was possible. BlackCunomon wouldn't believe much of anything, and Alimon could tell reality from fantasy, so she believed him.
Even so, that still didn't make him feel any better. Sighing, he takes off into flight again. Dinomon says, "The legendary dragon of water should be around here somewhere." Eyes widening, Sartomon interjects, "Water? There isn't any water around here, so...." He cuts off seeing Dinomon's angry eyes.
"Nevermind. Just follow me."
"Okay...lead the way oh fearless leader!" Sartomon said sarcastically.
Dinomon paid no heed, and continued his march forth. Alimon said that long ago, the 4 legendary dragons of elements guarded the Digital World. They protected it by sealing away powers it used to have. By doing this, the threats were almost eliminated. The powers that were sealed away were Time (Firedramon), Destruction (Grassdramon), Weather (Elecdramon), and Erode (Waterdramon). After they were sealed, the dragons hid themselves, for fear that one might be able to find them, and steal away the powers again.
'So....that's why I could only see Firedramon in my mind. ' Thought Sartomon.
"Anyway, the powers of Destruction, Erode, Weather, and Time had caused the Digital World to be the place of pure evil and chaos. The early humans tried to destroy it, but the 4 dragons would not let that happen, so they sealed away one of the powers into themselves. This gave only them the power, and all other digimon lost that capability." Explained Dinomon, "Firedramon gained the power of Time, Grassdramon the power of Destruction, Waterdramon the power of Erode, and Elecdramon the power of Weather."

Emblemmon's eyes darted left to right. "So in other words, they can...." Dinomon nodded. "If turned evil, yes they can destroy the Digital World."
Sartomon shakes his head, asking what happened to the Digital World. He wanted to know why all of the digimon are now living in this wasteland. The wasteland that used to be called Earth.

BlackCunomon, glaring with seriousness, told the story, "After Darklimon killed all the humans, he went even further, destroying all life on Earth. This had a catastrophic reaction with the Digital World. With no computers to support it, it was...deleted." Sartomon's eyes widened in shock! Panicking, he asked, "Why are some digimon still alive?" The dark digimon looked up at the sky while walking still. "They got an early warning, and escaped into the Real World. There were hardships, and many digimon started to hunt other digimon. It took a long time, but they finally learned how to survive without food or water. How I survived, I don't know. Many digimon evolved into stronger digimon to survive this time of year. If anything's still alive on this planet other than digimon, their chances of survival are low."
'Well....you didn't have to put it that way, doppleganger.' Sartomon said to himself. "Let's just drop this subject, and keep going, okay?"
"Alright, Sartomon." Muttered BlackCunomon.
They continued their march along the terrain. Everywhere they looked, it was the same. Plains with some mountains in the distant. Dead trees, skeletons or just bones, rocks. There were no signs of life except for digimon. Alimon lowered her head in shame, knowing she had helped some of it. Her dark blue eyes scanned the area, looking for one of the 4 legendary dragons. If Cunomon was right, and they were much larger than a mountain, then they shouldn't be too hard to spot, unless they could camouflage themselves. 'Highly unlikely!'

Several hours passed, when Dinomon suddenly came to a stop. "Halt!" Except for Sartomon, the other digimon made a very loud crash landing at the sudden stop. Dinomon snarled furiously. "Hey! Why weren't you watching were you were going?!" "We were! It's not our fault you stopped so suddenly!" As the quarreling continued, Sartomon narrowed his grey eyes in the distance, looking to see if he could spot anything. Nothing....until he saw a blue flash. "Waterdramon!" He shouted.
"Waterdramon?"
"Where?"
"There!"
Sartomon pointed in the direction where he saw the blue flash. Whatever he saw wasn't there anymore; it had moved to a different location.
"Wha....where'd it go now?" He turned to Dinomon. "Did you learn anything about what these guys can do?" The white digimon repeated what he had said earlier. The dragons all had a specific power, and because Waterdramon had the power of Erode, he probably reshaped the land to hide himself. "That does make sense...." Emblemmon looked around. Sniffing the air, she concluded, "I have a great sense of smell. I'll go find him!" Chuckling, BlackCunomon asked, "Which kind of smell? One of the five senses or the kind where people would run away if they smelled you?"

WHACK!
BlackCunomon, with a tear coming out of his eye, clutched the top of his head, which now contained a very large lump left by an angry red-eyed dragon. "Ouch....remind me never to get her mad....." "Hmph!" Emblemmon took off. Flying above the rubble of land, she followed her knows. As she lowered, she noticed how the land was changing shape. She called out the dragon's name, but the only response was a rumbling. "Uhh...excuse me, mr dragon? But we come in peace!"
Sartomon lowered himself to the ground, and devolved back to Cunomon. Alimon eyed this, and asked, "Why did you devolve?" "Because I wanted to." Cunomon said slyly, which responded in Alimon's sigh of disgust.

"Hey, Emblemmon!"
Emblemmon looked behind her, and saw Dinomon rushing towards her.
"Did you see the dragon?"
"No! But I think I heard him!"
Within moments, the 5 were together, in the same area. As Emblemmon was explaining the direction of the sounds she was hearing came from, an even louder rumble was heard. Cunomon's ears perked up almost instantly. "What was that?!"
The ground split wide open! Within the opening, blue fur was visible. As the ground watched in astonishment, a dragon identical to the one Cunomon had told them about, only this one was blue, rose out of the ground. He was just as big as Firedramon was! In the presence of such a huge monster, all 5 of the digimon shook with fear. Emblemmon spoke up, "Hear me, dragon! We've come to seek advice!"
The giant dragon stared down at them. In a loud voice, he asked, "Why must I help you?" It was Dinomon's turn. "Because this world is in danger of perishing!" Waterdramon didn't seem to be phased much. They knew the reason. "I and my siblings tried to save the Digital World.....but it was destroyed. Why try save this world? It's already too late!"
"BECAUSE THE TERROR HASN'T STOPPED!!!"
All eyes turned on Cunomon. The small dragon was glaring up at Waterdramon with eyes of a bold and angry warrior. Waterdramon lowered his head to meet Cunomon's gaze. "What makes you so sure?" "Just look around you! Can't you see innocent digimon getting hurt? More attacks taking place? Bombings, even?"

The blue dragon raised his eyebrow. "What do you hope to accomplish? How do you think you're going to save this world?" Cunomon gaped. He didn't think of this before! 'What am I going to do?!' Absent-mindedly, he replied that he would use the power of Time to go back in time and then use the other powers to stop the evil forces from destroying the planet in the first place.
"Whoa whoa, wait a sec!" Waterdramon shouted, "How could you use the Time power? Only Firedramon can...." He was cut off as Cunomon held out a small object. "The Omogan!" "Yes," Cunomon noted, "Firedramon gave me it."
The dragon looked into Cunomon's eyes. It was as if he were trying to figure out if he was telling the truth. Nodding, he said, "I believe you. You are the Wild Power, aren't you?" The smaller dragon nodded. "Very well, I will help you guys out. I cannot join forces with you, but I can give you something."

BlackCunomon snorted. "What good are you to us if you can't join up with us?" The dragon simply replied that sometimes, help comes in other forms. Digging into his fur, Waterdramon pulled out another object. It looked like a triangle wedged on a collapsing cliff. It had a long string tied to it, making it a very large necklace. The dark dragon narrowed his eyes, "What is that?"
"This, here, is the Erodes! It will help you out because it will give you the power of Erode. The Erodes can only be used if all 4 Elemental Items are together. So far, you have the Omogan and the Erodes. You still need the other 2."
Futari no ai
Kokoro o terashiteru?
Grabbing the Erodes, Cunomon heartfully thanked the blue dragon. Waterdramon smiled back for a few seconds, and then took off into the ground, disappearing from their sights fast.
BlackCunomon peered at the item. "Heh, looks like a piece of junk!" "Listen here!" Alimon shouted, "That junk is the only thing we can use to help change the future!" The only reply she got was, "Yeah....right...."
'Sometimes, I wonder if we should dump him or not!'
Cunomon chuckled, then look into the sky. 'We're so close! Yet so far.....'
"Hey Cunomon!" Cunomon turned to see everyone started to leave, in search of Guaumon. "You coming?"
"Sure!"
The blue dragon ran up to his friends, and resumed their journey. They had 2 items out of 4. The items that would help them save the future! Omogan and Erodes. Cunomon wondered what the other items they needed were.
Somewhere in the distance, a black three-eyed wolf looked them. He growled, and his eyes glowed brightly. It was Guaumon, and he wasn't too happy!
'They've gotten both the Omogan AND the Erodes?! Impossible! I'll just have to be sure that they won't get the other 2!'
The area was filled with the sound of
a cold laughter.
