Chapter 12: From Enemy to Ally
Cunomon kept on feeling like his eyes were decieving him. 'Darklimon? Helping us? Why?' He stared at the large purple wolf, who was standing in front of him, and guarded him from the blue wolf ahead of him. The dragon tried to climb to his feet, but it was useless. He crashed back down silently, and had no choice but to watch what was going on. He could see the two wolves confronting eachother. Saberamimon and Darklimon glared at eachother in the eyes, not taking their eyes off of one another. They shifted sideways, eyes still locked on eachother.
"I won't let you do to them what you've done to me." Darklimon said coldly, bravery in his voice. His opponent laughed at him. "Oh really?" Saberamimon taunted. "Well now...let's hope you do a better job at protecting them than you were protecting yourself!"

Darklimon folded his long and furry ears back threateningly. "Oh, we'll see about that, shall we?" He said in a low growly voice. Saberamimon cocked one of his brown eyebrows. Doubt was clear in his red eyes. The purple wolf arched his back, and then launched himself at the enemy. Surprised, the saber-toothed wolf jumped back just as the purple wolf hit the ground with one of his massive red claws. Just as soon as Darklimon landed, he lifted up his large tail and swung down while Saberamimon was still in the air. The pressure caused the digimon to fly back a few feet. He landed hard on his side, but he managed to struggle back up to his feet. He staggered back a bit, then shook his head to help himself recover.
He had his eyes closed tightly as he did this. But as soon as he opened them up, Darklimon was on his back, sinking his teeth into Saberamimon's shoulder! "Yaaaahhhh!!" The blue wolf cried in pain, and started to struggle to get the slightly larger wolf off of him.

"Whoa...." Cunomon managed to say in his weak voice. He lied there, and watched the fight continue. He looked next to himself and saw that BlackCunomon was still out cold. He gently nudged the ebony dragon, and attempted to see if he would awaken. He didn't. Cunomon sadly shook his head. "That was some blow." He turned his attention back to the fighting wolves. He didn't know who should win. Darklimon did come and save them, but what if it was a trap? What if Saberamimon...no. Saberamimon tried to KILL them. Why would he be a hero? It was Darklimon they could trust. At least, that's what Cunomon had hoped. Watching this battle was proof enough to him that Darklimon was a good guy. No one who was truly evil would risk their lives to save another.
"Come on...you can do it." Cunomon whispered. He then turned his yellow-eyed gaze towards the others. They were still knocked out from Saberamimon's attacks. His ears fold back against his head. 'If he could do that....what chances does Darklimon have?' He looked and saw that the purple digimon was still holding his ground very well. 'Impressive.' The sky blue dragon's ears perked straight up as he witnessed Darklimon give Saberamimon a body slam. "Yikes." He yelped. It hurt just to look it at it. Cunomon didn't want to witness what was going to happen next, and buried his face in his paws.

"YAAAAHHHHH!!!" Saberamimon cried. Darklimon had grabbed him by the tail with his teeth, and flipped him across the air, and hammered him into the rocky surface. He crashed into the ground at full force, and some dust settled up in the air around him. The dust irrated his black nose, and he sneezed. While his eyes were closed, he didn't notice Darklimon sneak around behind him. When he opened up his eyes, he noticed that the purple wolf was gone. "What?" He said silently, turning his head in all directions. But Saberamimon couldn't find out where Darklimon had gone....

"RAAAAARRRR!!!"
Saberamimon's red eyes went wide in horror as he heard the loud roar from behind him. He reacted too late, and the other digimon whom he had been fighting leapt up and used his front red paws to knock him to the side. Saberamimon snarled as he crawled back to his feet. Darklimon hissed, turned his head to the side, closed his eyes, and roared again, his teeth clearly showing. His long, thin ears positioned themselves on his skull. The two again circled each other, and their fur arched on their backs. Darklimon opened his mouth, and white fire gathered in a circle. "White Fire!" Pure white flames poured from his mouth, in 2 directions. One end of the fire line went to the right side of Saberamimon, and turned as it gone past him. The other did the same thing, only this time it went to Saberamimon's left side. The saber-tooth laughed mockingly as he saw the flames pass him. But he didn't notice them circling him, and enclosing.... "You missed. My digi-grandmother could have done better than that!" He then noticed that Darklimon was smirking. "What's so funny?" "Hehehe...take a look around you."
"Wha?..." He turned to look around himself.
He was horrified to see what it was.
The fire had indeed surrounded him. He was trapped within a circle of the pure fire, and the circle itself was getting smaller and smaller by the minute. Saberamimon's ears lowered down in worry. He knew he was going to be deleted if he didn't get out of there. But how would he get out of there? The flames not only surrounded him, they also were higher than he could jump. He'd risk burning his underside. He didn't want that. "Grrr...." He winced as the flames almost touched him. He then got an idea. "Maybe this will neutralize your little attack." Darklimon's eyes widened in curiousity. Saberamimon opened his mouth almost as wide as Darklimon had when he used White Fire, and beams of light shot out from his long canine teeth. "Sabertooth Blaster!" The beams collided with part of the firewall, and formed a quick opening. Thinking fast, the blue wolf leaped out of the ring of fire just as they enclosed and exploded. Some of the ashes landed by his feet. He just smirked, and pushed them away with his paw.

"You think that attack would work? You forgotten that I..."
"That you what?"
"That I can control fi...Oh nevermind!"
"This conversation's going nowhere fast."
Darklimon scratched his head in confusion.
Suddenly, Saberamimon took this as an advantage, and leapt forward. He
grabbed Darklimon's shoulders and sank his saber-teeth into the other wolf's
side! Darklimon let out an agonizing scream as blood started to pour from
the two holes that Saberamimon was leaving him with. Smiling darkly, Saberamimon
kicked Darklimon in the stomach, forcing him to collapse on the floor.
Alimon slowly cracked her eyelids open. Her blue eyes tried to focus on what was happening. She looked ahead, and was horrified to see Darklimon. She was about to jump up and again, until she noticed that he was bleeding and hurt. She saw Saberamimon standing over him, smiling evilly, and then she knew what had happened. 'Darklimon, he tried to save us.' Darklimon's 2 puncture wounds were bleeding constantly, and she knew he would die if someone didn't do something soon. She climbed to her feet weakly, and dug her yellow claws into the ground. Her back arched up. She knew what she was about to do could cost her her life, but this was more important. She waited until the right moment, and made a fast dash towards the two wolves.

Darklimon winced in pain as he looked up at the sinister blue wolf. The saber-teeth seemed to grin at his pain. Darklimon tried to back up, but the pain in his shoulders caused him to slip down again. He could only watch as Saberamimon advanced on him. "This is where it ends, Darklimon." With those final words to him, the blue wolf started to flex and tense his muscles, harder and harder.....

'I guess I could have had a worse ending.....' Darklimon closed his eyes tightly, and awaited the final blow...but it never came.
In a split second, a dinosaur digimon, who was none other than Alimon, sprang from her location and used her head to push Saberamimon back. The wolf cried out in pain and shock as he collapsed on his feet. He started to get up, but Alimon attacked him again, this time slashing her claws into his side. She growled, and head-butted him again. Saberamimon shook his head in pain, and stared at the dinosaur with wide red eyes. "Traitor." He choked out. He tasted something salty, and quickly spat out whatever it was. Blood. It was blood.
Alimon scoffed darkly. "How could I be a traitor...when I was never on your side to begin with?" "You don't remember do you?" The blue wolf asked almost politely yet dangerously. The confused digimon backed up a little. Her shining blue eyes registered in shock. Just what was this guy trying to say? She hadn't seen him before in real life...not until now. Just what made him believe that she agreed to anything? She narrowed her eyes in suspicion. "Just what are you trying to say? I never worked for...." Saberamimon smiled evilly, and climbed to his shaky feet. He told her that she should remember. She agreed to it a couple years ago. A sinister smile covered his snout as he said this. Alimon was even more confused than before. "I don't remember..."

Cunomon uncovered his eyes, and looked
back at the battle scene. He had anticipated to see Darklimon and Saberamimon
fighting, but he wasn't prepared for this. Darklimon was lying down, bleeding.
Cunomon winced at this. He didn't like seeing so much blood...Shuddering,
he turned to Saberamimon. He had been injured, too. A little blood trinkled
to the floor. Turning his gaze, he could see that Alimon was there
with him. "Alimon?" Alimon's face was still registered in shock. Something
had horrified her. 'But what?' Cunomon found the strength to climb
to his feet. Although shaking a little, he managed to hold his ground.
"I have to find out what is wrong."
Alimon backed away from the wolf even more. Saberamimon was really started to creep her out. But then again..he had always done that since she first learned of his existance. Saberamimon smiled, and bared his saber-teeth even more. "Well, maybe I should refresh your memory...Alimon." He took a step closer. Now she was really frightened. 'What am I going to do?!' "Alimon, years ago you were my soldier. You were my slave. You were my number one executioner. I know these things because I....I created you." Alimon's eyes snapped open like saucers. "Yes, that's right. I'm your creator...and as your creator, it is your duty to do whatever I say. But you betrayed me a while ago...to be with these...weaklings." "They are not weaklings!" Alimon shouted, but still shocked by this new information. "They are my friends!"

"Friends?"
"Yes!"
"Foolish digimon." He chuckled. He closed his eyes for a second, and then reopened them. "You don't seem to get it, do you? You didn't really betray me....." Alimon cocked an eyebrow. "You reprogrammed yourself temporary to gain their trust...you are one of their enemies. You were going to kill them. That was your plan....now you remember. Do you? Do you remember?!" Alimon started shaking again. Tears of shame started to pour from her eyes. She heard a small gasp behind her. She shifted her head, and saw a battered Cunomon staring at her.

"Alimon...is this true?" He asked. He didn't want to believe it. Alimon lowered her gaze. "I...I think it is...I don't remember....I really don't." Cunomon's face at first had the look of surprise. But as the horrible truth sank in, and as Saberamimon's words impacted him more, his face transformed into a look of pure rage. Alimon winced at her friend looking at her like that. Maybe he wasn't her friend anymore....Alimon had remembered what she did in the past, and actually did remember the vow she made...But she didn't want to remember. She was hoping to leave that life behind. But how would she convince Cunomon?

"YOU LIAR!!"
Surprisingly, Cunomon hadn't gotten angry
at Alimon. He had gotten angry at Saberamimon. "You're lying to her! I
know you are!" His own tears were starting to be shed. Saberamimon glanced
at the small injured dragon. He couldn't help but smile. This dragon was
bold, and yet naive....so naive that he couldn't except the fact that one
of his own was going to turn on him. "Cunomon..." He said dangerously,
"I had spoken the truth. Just ask her." He gestured towards the still shocked
dino. Cunomon glared harshly at Saberamimon, but looked at Alimon gently.
His eyes were full of anticipation. He was hoping it was all a lie. Just
a crazy lie. Why would Alimon do anything to hurt them? WHY?!
Alimon didn't want to look at him in the face. "I remember....that..." She coughed a little. She didn't feel like she could say anything. But the truth had to be known. Cunomon had the right to know. They all did. She sighed. "It's true....I was...tricking you...at first. But now....now I just don't seem like I can...." She closed her eyes tightly, and allowed all her tears to flow out and stain the sandy ground. "I just can't bring myself to kill any of you....I just can't! This isn't right!" She shook her head violently and roared loudly. She attacked Saberamimon viciously, sinking her teeth into his tail. He screamed in pain, but kicked her in the head. "So you still wish to be with them, eh? Well suit yourself, traitor!" He raised up his white claws and dug them into her chest. Her eyes shot open as she screamed out in pain.

Cunomon didn't have time to think Alimon
was evil still...He was too worried about her safety. As he watched Saberamimon's
claws dig into her chest, he screamed in agony. "Alimon!!" His pupils dialated
in horror.
"Ugghhhh...wha...what?"
Cunomon swerved around to see BlackCunomon struggling to his feet. He felt groggy and tired...He seemed oblivious to his injuries, and couldn't seem to stand much at all. "What's going on...Cunomon?" he whispered, noticing Cunomon looking at him. He then saw Alimon and the condition she was in. His grey eyes opened up in shock immediately. "Oh no..." He whispered. Cunomon turned around and started to run towards Alimon. The only thing on his mind was to free her. He had to! Right now there was nothing more important.

Alimon let out another scream, and sank to her knees. She couldn't take so much pain..She closed her eyes and fell to the ground. Cunomon stopped dead in his tracks. "ALIMON!!!" Saberamimon laughed darkly as he pulled his claws back out. "This is just how I killed Lexx." He announced almost proudly. Suddenly, Cunomon's mind reeled. An image of Darklimon killing Lexx the same way as Saberamimon attacked Alimon flooded his mind. Soon, he mentally replaced the image of Darklimon with Saberamimon. His eyes opened wide.
"It was you." He hissed.
Saberamimon looked at him. "It was me? Me who did what?" "It was you....who killed LEXX!!" His scream filled the air. The two other digimon finally awoke from their unintended slumber. Gundammon rubbed the back of her head weakly. But she was still too tired to make out just what was going on. She fell back down again. She glowed brightly, and shrank back down to her Emblemmon form. The other figure stirred awake, and bolted up instantly. Dinomon was panicking, and looked around. He did remember what he had done when the blue saber-toothed wolf took control of him. He didn't want to reawaken only to find his friends dead! "What happened?!" He yelled, but he fell silent when he gazed at Alimon's body on the floor. He then raised up his head to see a sinister Saberamimon laughing.

"Alimon....no...." Tears came to his eyes. It wasn't supposed to be this way! It just wasn't! It wasn't fair....Why did have to be Alimon? Why any of his friends? What was wrong with justice? He glared at Saberamimon. 'This is just sick.' He struggled to his feet. "I won't allow this..."

Just as Saberamimon was going to deliver
the final blow, a cry of anger rang out, and it wasn't Cunomon. Everyone
except Emblemmon turned to see Dinomon. He was standing on all four legs
and arching his back down and shoulders upward. He screamed into the skies.
"I WON'T ALLOW THIS!!!" His voice was booming and echoed in the heavens
above. His eyes were filled with pure rage and determination. He wasn't
going to let anyone else be destroyed by a monster like Saberamimon. He
was going to make sure of that!
As he howled in determination, the Matrix Rock suddenly appeared. Everyone stared in awe as the rock shined light down on the white figure. The light was clear, and see-through, unlike the others.
If you could be close
to me!

"DIGIVOLUTION!!!"
Dinomon moved back against a glowing
white background. His red eyes narrowed with determination, and he slashed
his claws together. Dark gray data swirled around him, and the same time,
started to form a circle around him. Evolution was about to begin! "Dinomon,
digivolve to..." He said as his skin started to peel off after his body
shined faintly. A data grid-like body was revealed underneath. All of his
data peeled away, and then the gray data surrounded him completely. Dinomon
started to increase in size. His feet slightly changed shape, and new data
fused with it. He now had black claws. The data egg that he was incased
in showed a black outline of himself. A light grey lightning bolt flashed
in one direction. His tail straightened out, then became thinner. The new
data formed on him, revealing a very thin, ribbon-like purple tail with
two gray stripes. The same data egg is shown again, only this time the
outline of a bigger mammal digimon was shown. A light grey lightning bolt
flashed in the other direction. Dinomon's head reared up and data
swiftly fromed on him. He lowered his face down again, but this time it
was the face of another digimon! Fin-like markings grew from his head.
His face was purple and grey-striped. There was orange fur, too. His eyes
were still red, but now had yellow in them. The egg burst open! The new
digimon was at side-view. He then turned forward, his head high into the
air, and then moved back against the shining white background. He arched
his back high and lowered his head down. He had more fin-like things sticking
out of his shoulders. They were like the ones Garurumon had. His paws were
hairless, and a bit scaly. Pure black claws shined against the light. His
body was a little slender and muscular at the same time, and a hump was
located where his 'fins' were. He signalled the end of his evolution by
shouting, "Wolfermon!" Balls of energy surrounded him as his evolution
had ended.
The light settled down. The new digimon emerged from the light. Saberamimon backed up in shock. For once, he seemed to be truly afraid. "No...no..not HIM!" He screamed in horror. But it was him. BlackCunomon gasped in surprise, then let out a scream of joy. Cunomon jerked in surprise. "What is it? Who is that?"
Kao wo miru to ienai
Kanari iitai koto atta
no ni
"That's Wolfermon!"
"Wolferman?"
"Grr...Wolfermon! He's a Vaccine Champion digimon. He's a Poacher-Type digimon, and his specialty is destroying wolf-like digimon. His attack is Threshold Thrower!" BlackCunomon announced.
Cunomon looked at the poacher digimon. He stood as tall as a T Rex. He was much smaller than Gundammon, so that was a relief. His orange and purple fur flowed in the wind as the digimon glared dangerously at Saberamimon. "You will pay." Wolfermon stated, his fur raised high into the sky. He lowered himself to the ground, then jerked back up again. Energy gathered in his mouth and light appeared. The light wasn't the weapon though..Saberamimon was more worried about what was going to form. 'I have to get out of here!' The blue wolf, ignoring that Alimon was still there, turned and started to run away to the east. But Wolfermon wasn't about to let him get away that easily. "Threshold THROWER!!!" A yellow-gold ball completely formed in his jaws and sprang out like a tennis ball that was shot from a cannon. It sailed throw the air at the retreating wolf. It struck him, but just barely, on one of his hind legs.
"ARRGGGG...!!" He yelped. He fell to the ground, but sprang back up again. He ran off into the distance so fast he was gone from sight in only ten seconds.
If you could be close
to me!
Wagamama de ii
Kore ga honto no kimochi

Wolfermon panted angrily. He snarled, although his top teeth are always protruding. He turned his gaze towards the fallen digimon. "Alimon..." He said, his voice sounding very deep...almost like Gundammon's voice had. Emblemmon had finally awoken totally, and had taken a position next to Alimon. She lay there, bleeding and badly hurt. Darklimon had witnessed this, and instantly felt guilty. He ignored his injuries and got up and walked over. The others looked at him, but they didn't seem to mind. Darklimon couldn't take his eyes off of Alimon's prone body.
"This is all my fault...if only I hadn't..."
He began, but Wolfermon placed a paw very gently on his uninjured side.
"It's alright." He said. "We all make mistakes." A tear shed from Wolfermon's
eyes. "But I wish we could've saved her..." Cunomon folded his ears back
in depression. BlackCunomon didn't know what was going on with him. Never
before had he experienced such pain..and possibly even loss. 'Now I
know how Cunomon felt when I struck Lexx that one time...' For the
first time, BlackCunomon started to shed tears..Genuine tears. "I'm sorry,
Alimon." That was all he could say. Cunomon seemed shock at this sudden
display of emotions. 'Did he just...?' He had. BlackCunomon then
shifted his body away, and lowered his head. He didn't seem to want to
talk to anybody.
Emblemmon gently nudged Alimon, and hoped she would respond. She got nothing...Alimon just laid there..silent...still. "This can't be true..." Cunomon tried to control himself...He tried to keep himself from sobbing. "But...but....can't she just...Why isn't she going back into data?" Darklimon looked down at Cunomon's shaking blue form. He could tell the little guy was suffering. "Sometimes...digimon here just die...and never go into data form. I'm afraid she may be..gone." Cunomon felt his heart rip open as he heard these horrible words.
Tama ni wa ii yo ne
Datte suki ga afureru

Take my love...
"No....no.....no.....ALIMON!!!!!"
His voice rang out...He finally couldn't
take it anymore, and he started to cry. He hadn't cried like this since
Lexx's death..Now he lost someone else..by the paws of the same horrible
monster. But Cunomon didn't seem to care..He had lost another friend. His
world went black...and only one thing was on his mind.
'I will avenge you, Alimon.'
