Recap on last chapter: Cunomon and the others were trying to find Guaumon. In the mean time, Guaumon was trying to find them, while having conflicts with himself. Just when they thought they were defeated, BlackCunomon digivolved to Warmongermon! But the force of the two caused a canyon to collapse, and Guaumon found out he was being controlled by a digimon known as Saberamimon!

Chapter 10: Betrayal

Down in the cavern, Warmongermon is licking his wounds. Cunomon glares at him for his stupidity, but doesn't say anything. The larger digimon looks at him with a look of understanding. It was his fault that they fell into the cavern. 'If only I hadn't been soo foolish!' He thought to himself, but sets it aside. He struggles to his feet and walks over to Emblemmon, who was busy inspecting some part of the wall nearby. She was looking for a way to destroy it so they could get out before Guaumon could do any real damage.

"Any luck at all?"

She spins around and sees Warmongermon behind her. She shakes her head and turns away. Her emblem mark glows, and she shoots out a ray blast at the area, blasting away some rock, trying still to find some weak spot. Cunomon muttered, "You know, if you keep blasting it like that, this whole place could collapse onto us!" "Shut up!" Emblemmon spat, continuing to try and find something. Since she was a Modified, she could beat Cunomon pretty easily if she hit him, but she could be defeated if he hit her. They were pretty much equaled out. Alimon growled lowly, looking upwards. She really didn't want to be there at the time she was. Without warning, the dino-monster jumps upward, and strikes one of the boulders! Dinomon rushes towards her, "Are you nuts?!"

"You might cause us to get squashed!" Warmongermon yelled angrily. Emblemmon glares, then looks at the place she just hit. 'Maybe I should hit it again.' Rearing downward, she gets into a ramming position, and takes off. She whams her head against the rock, causing a jolt of pain to go across her forehead. She grabs it, and falls down. Cunomon rushes over, asking her, "Are you okay, Emblemmon?" "Yes, I am." 'Boy...that wasn't a smart move!' Rubbing her head gently, she continues with her whamming with the tail, trying to break a hole in the wall someplace. Alimon had convinced Dinomon to blast at certain areas of the cavern, much to everyone's dismay. Dinomon then was too busy trying to blast away the rocks above, despite everyone's warnings.

'Sometimes...it's like he really does want us to get into trouble...' Emblemmon thought.

Back above ground, Guaumon was still horrified at what he just learned. Somehow he was being controlled by this...this...other digimon called Saberamimon. There had been rumors and legends about him. It's said that Saberamimon was created by Apocalymon and given the power to possess any digimon, whether dead or alive. He could possess even the toughest of digimon, and no one would know. He can act and sound just like the digimon he took over. That is why he is so feared even among Megas. "So...it was you all along, wasn't it?" He spoke to his reflection of Saberamimon, who's mouth moved to both his words, and Saberamimon himself. The blue wolf smirked. "Oh, you are the smart one, aren't you?" His eyes glowed red for a few seconds. Guaumon snarled viciously. He warned him that if he didn't leave his body he would...

"You would what? Remember, as long as I'm in your body, all the damage I recieve is transferred to yourself!"

Guaumon backed away a few steps, lowering his head to the ground. 'He's right....' Seemingly defeated, he looks straight ahead. "What do you want?" "Isn't it obvious by now? I want to kill Cunomon....but then...where's the fun in that?" Guaumon stepped foward, his fur raising on end. In the reflection, Saberamimon's fur remained unchanged. His face was uneffected by the other's warning. He said that he would leave him now...for a new vessel. The black wolf reared his wings upward threateningly. "What do you mean...new vessel?" "I am bored with this body. You are strong, yes, but I want something else. And I know just who to choose!" The reflected Saberamimon body stepped to one side, revealed a sphere. The sphere flashed white, then an image of Dinomon appeared, who was busy clearing away a few rocks that had fallen downward. They were small, but it could've been worse. Upon seeing this, Guaumon was horrified to realize just what Saberamimon wanted to do....

"You're...You're going to take over Dinomon...aren't you?"

Dinomon was still clearing away the rocks. Behind him, an angry Emblemmon stomps forward, grabbing his swinging tail, preventing him from using his attack. "When will you stop it? Don't you think you've had enough?!" Snarling, the white digimon snatched his tail back. "When will you learn to shut up?!" "Why I oughta!!" The two digimon pressed their foreheads against eachother, growling. Warmongermon stood beside them, and brushed them aside. He told them to knock it off. They needed to focus on getting out, and their constant fighting was going to get them nowhere. "Alright, as long as she doesn't interfere." "What do you mean me?! You were the idiot banging against the wall!" "Oh, and you weren't thinking the same thing?" "STOP IT!" The Rookies stared in shock as Alimon rushed over to them at such an alarming rate. "We'll never get out of here in time to stop Guaumon with you two fighting all the time! Try getting along!" Dinomon and Emblemmon looked at eachother, snarled, then looked away. "Me get along with him/her?!" They shouted in unison, and went their separate ways.

'Why do I even bother?' Alimon thought.

"Alimon!"

The dinosaur looked in the other direction. Cunomon was rushing towards her very fast! 'I wonder what's wrong this time?' She fixated her eyes on the dragon cautiously, awaiting what he had to say. When Cunomon finally came to a hault, he was out of breath. Lowering his head towards the ground, he panted several times, trying to slow down his heart beat.

He finally caught his breath, and raised his head up to normal height. "I found a way out!" Alimon's head perked up in surprise. He had found a way out? But how? 'I don't think I want to know....' She muttered in her head, then walked back twoards the other 3. "Listen, everyone! Cunomon's found a way out of here." Emblemmon's ears went straight up in alarm. Dinomon's eyes went wide in shock, but Warmongermon simply shrugged and smirked. 'I knew that digimon was good for something!' The group got up and trotted towards where Cunomon was running off to. They came into an interception of rocks. It looked like it was Y shaped, the path that is. Cunomon went directly towards the middle, then took a left turn. He then went about 4 feet down, then stopped abruptly. The sudden stop almost caused the other digimon to collide with him! Dinomon growled in frustration, while Emblemmon said, "Could you please not do that?!" Boy, was she moody this morning.

Cunomon scratched his head. "Sorry, ms. sensitive, but there's some type of panel here." The dragon used his forked tail to wipe off some dust clinging to the wall. Sure enough, underneath is, was some type of engravement. It was shaped like a paw. Or more specifically, Cunomon's paw. It was the right shape and size! Cunomon lifted up his paw, and pressed it against the tablet. As the others watched in amazement, the tablet began to glow. The light shown through the cavern for a few seconds, then another wall nearby rubbled as it shifted over, opening up a passageway. Judging from the several rays of white light that was coming through, it was a way out. Emblemmon immediantly jumped into the air and flew outside to check it out. She noted that they were nowhere near the place where they had been before. They were at least 50 miles away! 'How did we get over here?' She looked back into the cave and gave them the signal that it was okay to come out.

The others came walking out, though slowly. First came Cunomon, then Alimon, then Dinomon, and finally Warmongermon. The gentle breeze brushed by them as they became more aware of their surroundings. Emblemmon noted that they were at least 50 miles away from their previous state. Warmongermon cletched his paws into fists. "50 MILES?! Do you realize how long it would take us to go back?!" Emblemmon nodded. "Yes, that is why we have got to find some way to fly back. But I have no idea how.....to find some way for all of us to fly, that is. I can only hold 1 person when flying, and Warmongermon definitely couldn't carry more than two..." Cunomon walked over, smiling. "You know that I could change into my wing mode form...wouldn't that help?" Emblemmon considered this for a minute. She said that it could work....but she didn't really know for certain.

A figure was running across the barren wasteland. Pawprints were being left in the sand. A familiar black wolf was running across. It was Guaumon! He was under almost total control of Saberamimon. The blue wolf only controlled his body, but not his mind. 'Hey! Why are you doing this?!' "It's none of your business, Guaumon. You're too weak now....I need a stronger body. That Dinomon sure has a strong body, so I'll use him!" 'You wouldn't dare!'

"Oh, I wouldn't...wouldn't I? Hehehe...." Saberamimon laughed lowly, his red eyes glowing slightly. Guaumon growled mentally, but knew there was nothing he could do. They went on for about 40 of the 50 miles. Saberamimon believed that he didn't need Guaumon's body anymore. If he had come running along with Guaumon's body, he'd be spotted before he could get too close. It may not be his own body, but he can feel all the damage that the host feels. He had to get out now. "I will be leaving your body now, but don't try anything foolish!" Guaumon felt his body tense as it began to glow brightly. A black and white light shifted outwards, and landing on the ground a good 10 feet from the Ultimate. The light took the shape of Saberamimon, and the colors appeared. The blue wolf snarled evilly, smirked, then took off in the direction where they were headed. Only 10 more miles to go....

Guaumon felt his power leaving him, and he collapsed. He shivered silently, and whimpered. He began to glow, and he shrunk down to a smaller size. He became Darklimon once more. Darklimon opened up his now yellow eyes one more time, then fainted in the desert.

Emblemmon watched as the bright red light caused her to avert her eyes. Cunomon was changing to his Wing Mode self. After completely transforming, Cunomon Wing Mode spread out his wings proudly, and did a flip in the air. He seemed to happy! "Heh, I LOVE these wings!" The happy-go-lucky digimon was so busy doing his flying that he did not notice a white shadow headed towards the white digimon, Dinomon. Dinomon was laying on his belly, watching Cunomon fly. 'Sometimes...I wonder about him...' He shook his head, unaware that a pair of red eyes was glowing from behind him. The shadow gave an invisible smirk, then went inside the digimon's body!

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" He screamed.

All eyes turned on the white digimon. They watched as he seemed to be struggling with something. His eyes went wide in pain, then darkened to an evil state. Emblemmon walked over, but before she could get too close Dinomon swung his tail at her!

Juuou mujin tobi mawaritai youi shoutou mamori takunai
Nakushita wake ja nai mada hajimatte nai... dakara

"Dinomon! What's the idea?!"

The other just laughed. But this laugh was very cold-hearted. It sent shivers down Emblemmon's back. 'This isn't Dinomon, is it?' The white digimon now had dark circles around his eyes. He narrowed his red eyes, then widened them. "I'm not Dinomon anymore! LIGHTNING WAVES!!" He reared up on his hind legs, and pressed his two front paws together. A ball emerged and called forth lightning. The lightning then transformed into wave-like beams that shot out towards the others. They struck only 3 feet from them! The attack was so sudden that it caused the ground to crack. The surprised digimon jumped back. Cunomon was the first to recover. "Dinomon! Stop it!" Dinomon smirked darkly. "Oh no, Cunomon. I don't think so. You see..I'm not Dinomon." Lowering his head, the white one collided into the sky blue one's body, knocking him hard into the ground.

"Yah!! Then who are you then?!" Cunomon demanded, spreading out his wings to fly forward a little, but a little cautious. Dinomon glared at the other dragon. Raising up his claws threateningly, he pointed at himself, smiling. "I am the infamous Saberamimon, and this body is now....MINE!!" Alimon narrowed her eyes a little, then widened them in shock. It was him! She began to shake visibly, backing away. Emblemmon saw her and asked what was wrong. Alimon then stated that Saberamimon was a digimon who could enter another digimon's body and control them. The only other known digimon to be able to do that was Parasimon, but he had disappeared somewhere. "Saberamimon is stronger." Cunomon's ears perked up. He backed away from his friend's body, being controlled by some evil spirit.

Semenai de kesanai de makenai de

"Cunomon...you've got no choice but to fight me....LIGHTNING WAVES!!"

Instinctively, the dragon flew upwards, then countered with Rolling Spines. He rammed into Dinomon's body, causing him to be thrown off balance. "Saberamimon, I won't let you contro Dinomon any longer!" The body of Dinomon laughed darkly at this futile attempt of a threat. He struggled to his feet. "You can't threaten me.....and back it up." He lifted his paw and slashed downward. The attack cut right into Cunomon Wing Mode's shoulder, causing him to scream in agony. "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Shaking his head he flew upwards, then he flew downwards, striking Dinomon again! 'I'm sorry, Dinomon..but I have to do this!' He thought as he continued to fight against his friend. Or his body as least. He must defeat Saberamimon! He must!

Alimon, Warmongermon, and Emblemmon watched the fight, totally speechless. They didn't know how they could help...or if they should. Emblemmon reasoned that they should try to help Cunomon. He couldn't do this on his own...but Alimon warned that if they intervened at the wrong time, something terrible might happen. Warmongermon growled in disagreement. "It is annoying knowing that there isn't a single thing we can do!" "Yes, I know," Alimon noted, "But as I said, Cunomon must do this on his own!"

Dakiatte kizu tsuite ushinatte
Dare gatte kizuite yuku taisetsuna mono

The three then turned back in the direction of the battle. Cunomon and Dinomon rammed into eachother again. "Extremo Ala Fuego!" "Lightning Waves!" The electrical attack soared towards the fire attack, ramming into eachother. They nuked eachother attack, exploding and sending both Rookies flying backwards. They both landed softly on their feet, and went at it again. Dinomon pushed some dirt behind him, and crashed into Cunomon's side, poking his horns into his side, causing him some pain and lots of blood flowing downward toward the ground. Stained with his own blood, the blue dragon curled up into a ball to do another Rolling Spines attack. His spikes scraped against Dinomon's stomach. It wouldn't kill him, but it would cause pain.

Snarling, Dinomon swung out his tail, but Cunomon grabbed it. He swung Dinomon around, and let him go. The body of Dinomon crashed head-on into a boulder. As he crashed, it looked like his skull was broken! But it wasn't....it was just the horns that looked busted. The winged dragon waited, trying to see if anything would happen. Dinomon's body stirred. Cunomon waited...and watched. Dinomon slowly struggled to his feet. His eyes flashed a deep crimson. He said in a dark and evil voice, "You will PAY!!"

Nani ga hoshii nani ga shitai doko ni ikitai
Yami o saite hashiri nukete tsukamitore
Through The Night

Cunomon flew up into the sky, shouted, "How can you from down there?!"

"I have my ways.....DARKNESS SUMMON!!"

'Darkness Summon?! Didn't Darklimon use that attack before? Could Saberamimon be Darklimon...or was Darklimon controlled by him?' Cunomon Wing Mode was so lost in this thoughts that he didn't have time to react when the storm struck him hard, pinning him against the wall!

It's all right! Ude makuride donna toraburu no kai ketsu shiyou
Ikuze hey ai bo! Dekaiyama da

Warmongermon reared up in shock. "Now can we intervene?" "Let's!" Warmongermon spread out his metallic wings, and flew towards the storm. He felt like his own armor was being ripped off painfully slow, but he ignored it. He reached Cunomon Wing Mode, grabbed him gently with his mouth, then jumped downward. The side of rock that he was pinned on broke in half! A small rock slide headed downwards....straight towards Alimon! The dinosaur was too frozen scared to move. Emblemmon took notice, and rushed towards her.

Iroke yori saki ni i kite nanbo daro
Hyakusen ranma mo kutabarya soremade

Dakedasou aniki sono ude wo shin jiteruze
Yabai hoshi wa hyaku mo shouchi oira zu no de kabaa

"ALIMON WATCH OUT!!!"

The dark blue dragon spread out her wings, and flew foward. She lowered her head, and pushed Alimon out of the way. The dinosaur digimon rolled across the floor, slightly in pain. Her eyes were closed tightly. After a few moments, she opened up her eyes, and saw what happened. "EMBLEMMON, NO!!" The pile of rocks that broke away then fell downwards, and crashed onto Emblemmon's body. The digimon screamed loudly, then was silenced under the pile of boulders. Everyone on the scene froze immediantly, included Dinomon...his body that is. Cunomon could feel tears come to his eyes. 'No! Not another one!' He closed his eyes tightly, allowing the tears to flow towards the ground.

It's ok! Kane wanaiga chikara a waserya kowai monomonai

Daijoubu! Iza tonareba hattari kamase tsuki wo yo bi ko mou
Keka oorai de baku shin chyuu kitto bucchigiri de uchyuu ichi medatteyarou

Warmongermon and Alimon were still in a state of shock. Alimon sadly shook her head. 'No....this can't be....Emblemmon can't be.....' Warmongermon sadly said, "She's gone...."

"HAHAHAHAA!!" Dinomon's body laughed coldly. 'This is too easy!' Cunomon glared at the digimon in front of him. He never felt so angry in his life! This digimon had killed his best friend. He wouldn't let him get away with it!

"That's it! You are going down!"

It's ok! Kane wanaiga chikara e waserya kowai monomonai
Ikuze hey ai bo! Kime teyaruze
Sutaauindo & haakingu kanpanii!!

Ra ra ra...

He was about to make his move when a bright light shimmered in the area...from under the rocks. Cunomon, Dinomon, Alimon, and Warmongermon stared in almost complete stunned silence as the light grew brighter....and brighter.....And what happened next, Cunomon would never have imagined would happen....

Guchi ruyori saki ni ku ibuchi kase gou
"I kite rya hara heru" uchuu no gensoku

"She's...going to...digivolve?" Cunomon whispered. Was he right? Was Emblemmon really going to digivolve...or was the light just meaning she was going to be...deleted?

'Hope it's digivolving...please!' He stared at the pile expectantly...hoping....that maybe Emblemmon was still alive. Maybe.....
