Chapter 5: The First Confrontation

ShadowEtemon stared at ScribeDramon and MechaEomon as he drew his swords. "I'll give you this one chance to back down " MechaEomon offered.

"I should be the one offering " ShadowEtemon replied. "For these swords are no mere pieces of steel, they are the Swords of my dear sweet brother, GravijaEtemon "

"Could they really be... MechaEomon, Be Careful " ScribeDramon exclaimed. "I'll get the Kids to safety!" ScribeDramon quickly signaled to the kids and their Digimon. As ScribeDramon and the kids raced out of the chamber, Emma quickly spun around, held her D-Vice at ShadowEtemon, and hit the Button near the top.

Name: ShadowEtemon Level: Ultimate Attribute: Virus Type: Evil Digimon Group: Nightmare Soldiers Attacks: Shadow Sword, Dark Matter Master, Shadow Shot Other Info: Once member of an Organization known as the "Etemon Council". This organization sought for World Domination. The organization crumbled as a result of ShadowEtemon's Evil Plot. ShadowEtemon is said to have stole the Gravity Swords, once owned by GravijaEtemon, a Member of the "Etemon Council". ShadowEtemon is not to be taken lightly, he's armed and extremely dangerous, Approach with Caution.

The D-Vice said in its mechanical voice. ShadowEtemon stared at MechaEomon. "It's time for my revenge against you!" ShadowEtemon exclaimed as he leapt at MechaEomon. "SHADOW SWORD!" ShadowEtemon's swords began to glow black as he slashed MechaEomon. MechaEomon shot backwards and crashed into the wall, quickly stood to his feet, and looked at ShadowEtemon. ScribeDramon, the kids, and their Digimon finally raced out of the Chamber, opposite the way the Kids and their Digimon first entered.

"You've gotten better! Good, Last Time it was a bore defeating you!" MechaEomon began. "MECHA-EO MISSILE!" MechaEomon's Chest Plate Opened and two Bone-Like Missiles shot out and flew straight at ShadowEtemon. The two missiles nailed ShadowEtemon straight in the chest. However, ShadowEtemon stood and stared at MechaEomon.

"You haven't forgotten about the little spells on these Swords, have you? As long as I possess them, I have the ability to absorb all of your Attacks! Meaning every time you attack, I do nothing but become stronger!" ShadowEtemon exclaimed.

"GRRAH!" MechaEomon growled as he leapt at ShadowEtemon and landed right on him. MechaEomon ripped the swords from ShadowEtemon's hands and threw them across the Stone Room. MechaEomon began to rapidly punch ShadowEtemon in the chest. "MECH..." ShadowEtemon kicked MechaEomon off of him before he could finish the attack. MechaEomon crashed into the wall on the other side of the Chamber.

"You wanna play that way, then?!" ShadowEtemon questioned with anger in his voice. "DARK MATTER MASTER!!!" ShadowEtemon's hands began to glow Black and Green as he leapt at MechaEomon and began to hit MechaEomon repeatedly. MechaEomon was badly hurt, on the verge of death. ShadowEtemon leapt backwards and stared at MechaEomon. "You haven't changed one bit... Me, on the other hand..." ShadowEtmeon walked towards his swords and picked them up. He placed them in their cases behind his back and turned, facing MechaEomon. "You don't know how much I'm enjoying watching you lay there in pain. It truly is exhilarating, but I can't let ScribeDramon feel as if I'm letting him get away. DARK MATTER MASTER!" ShadowEtemon's fists began to glow Black and Green as he walked and stood over MechaEomon.

"You'll... never get away... with this!" MechaEomon groaned.

"Just watch me!" ShadowEtemon replied as he began to beat on MechaEomon repeatedly until finally, MechaEomon was deleted. ShadowEtemon turned his head to the stone doorway in which ScribeDramon and the others exited. "Now... for you 4..."

***WHILE THAT HAPPENED***

"Hurry! Just up these stairs and we'll be on the top of Mount Gato." ScribeDramon encouraged as he and the others raced up one final flight of stairs. The Kids and Their Digimon finally were at the Top of Mount Gato. There was a small plateau-like Landform of which they were on. Filling the entire Plateau were several Huts and large Buildings. There was a large Green Fire in the center of all the Huts. "This is why this mountain is Called Mount Gato. This is a village of Gatomon. However, this particular group of Gatomon aren't too friendly. They'll be friendly enough if you just say you're with me. Anyways, Jami, you said you picked up the yellow stone, right?"

"Yeah." Jami answered.

"Then if you and Aeromon could follow me. The rest of you just explore the small village." ScribeDramon stated as he, Jami, and Aeromon wandered off through the Village. Tom and the others basically just walked through the Village and talked while Jami and Aeromon followed ScribeDramon. "So, Jami, You had the Yellow Stone, The Orb of the Sky. Do you remember what ShadowEtemon said about the Etemon Campaign?"

"Yeah." Jami replied.

"Well, during that brutal and barbaric war, ShadowEtemon and KingEtemon feared the arrival of the 4 DigiDestined Kids, so they led their own operation. They sent a small group of about 5 Digimon right into the stomach of their Enemy. This Group basically stole the 4 Orbs from the temple underneath us. In addition, they also stole 3 of the 4 DigiEggs. They tried for the 4th and final one, but they were discovered and luckily outran Andromon, MetalGreymon, and myself. They stole the DigiEgg of the Beasts, the DigiEgg of the Flaming Warrior, and the DigiEgg of Electricty... do you know what that means?" ScribeDramon questioned.

"I can't say that I do." Jami answered.

"It means that they left the DigiEgg of the Sky, your DigiEgg." ScribeDramon replied as he pulled a small Blue DigiEgg out from underneath his Chest Plate. It had strange Pinkish Red Markings all over it, a Light Green "V" in the Center with similar marks in it, only black, small black spikes down the back of it, a small Blue Tail with a Gold Ring at the end and a small Pink Crystal out of the Gold Ring, small Blue and Red Wings, and small round Light Blue feet. "You can use this, along with some help from your D-Vice to make Aeromon Armor Digivolve." ScribeDramon handed the DigiEgg to Jami.

"Sweet! Thanks!" Jami exclaimed as she slid the DigiEgg into her Pocket. Then, suddenly, Rocks and rubble shot up from a near Location in the Village.

"You might want to pull that back out again!" ScribeDramon suggested. Jami pulled out her DigiEgg and held it upward. The DigiEgg, along with Aeromon, began to glow a White Color.

*Aeromon!... Armor Digivolve to... KYSMON!*

Kysmon was a Large Blue Dragon with a White Stretch reaching from his neck clear to the tip of his tail. On its face were Pinkish Red markings, similar to the ones on the DigiEgg. Further down on its neck was a Light Green "V" with Black Markings, similar to the ones on the DigiEgg. Kysmon also had a Blade Strapped to its back with another smaller Dagger out of the Bottom of it which was a Dark Pink Color. It also had Blue and Red Dragon Wings from its back, Black Spikes running from its head to the bottom of its tail, a small gold ring at the end of its tail with a small pink Crystal out of the end, and small light blue stubby round feet. Jami held her D-Vice in the Direction of Kysmon and pressed the button at the top.

Name: Kysmon Level: Champion/Armor Attribute: Data Type: Dragon Digimon Group: Wind Guardians Attacks: Dragon Breath, Dancing Sword, Tail Drill Other Info: Kysmon is the Legendary Dragon of the Sky. It is the Armor form of Aeromon and the DigiEgg of the Sky. Aeromon is a Digimon brought forth by the Power of the Orb of the Sky. This is a very Powerful Digimon.

Kysmon stuck out both of its wings and flew upward. It scanned the area from which the Rock and other Rubble shot up from, only to see Podmon, Zoomon, and Enmon getting beat on by ShadowEtemon. Kysmon flew to the area as fast as it could. "SHADOWETEMON!" Kysmon exclaimed. ShadowEtemon looked up to see the Large Dragon.

"KYSMON!" ShadowEtemon exclaimed. "DARK MATTER MASTER!" ShadowEtemon's fists began to glow Black and Green as he leapt into the air and landed on Kysmon's Back. ShadowEtemon began to punch Kysmon's back. Kysmon began to fall to the plateau, until it reached behind its back and grabbed its sword from its case. Kysmon then swung the sword and knocked ShadowEtemon off of its back. ShadowEtemon fell and crashed on the ground. Kysmon quickly flew upward and regained itself after the beating it took. ShadowEtemon energetically jumped to its feet. By now, a mass of Gatomon had gathered around the fight.

"DANCING SWORD!" Kysmon exclaimed as it threw its sword. Kysmon's sword began to glow blue as it circled around ShadowEtemon so quickly, it looked as if there was nothing but a blue ring circling ShadowEtemon. Finally, Kysmon's sword shot upward, stood still in the air, turned upside down, and dropped straight down onto ShadowEtemon's head. ShadowEtemon collapsed on the ground. ShadowEtemon jumped upward to its feet.

"HA! MY SWORDS MAKE ME INVINCIBLE!" ShadowEtemon exclaimed.

"I'll change that!" ScribeDramon exclaimed as he held up his Cannon Arm. "CANNONEER SHOT!" A black blast shot out and nailed ShadowEtemon square in the chest. ShadowEtemon flew back and landed on his back. Tom ran up to ShadowEtemon's body and grabbed both of the swords and threw them to ScribeDramon. ShadowEtemon threw his arm up, grabbed Tom's ankle, stood up, and held Tom upside Down.

"HOW ABOUT THIS!?" ShadowEtemon exclaimed. "YOU GIVE ME MY SWORDS, YOU GET YOUR FRIEND BACK!" ScribeDramon looked at ShadowEtemon. "DARK MATTER MASTER!" ShadowEtemon's fists began to glow Black and Green.

"Alright..." ScribeDramon mumbled as he threw the swords in ShadowEtemon's direction. ShadowEtemon dropped Tom as he held his hands out, ready to catch the swords. However, a Gatomon leapt into the air, grabbed both of the swords and snapped them in two. "Now what?!"

"DARK MATTER MASTER!" ShadowEtemon exclaimed as his fists began to glow Black and Green. He then leapt at ScribeDramon and hit him right in the face. ScribeDramon flew upwards. Kysmon grabbed ScribeDramon.

"MAGICAL SCRIBE!!!" ScribeDramon exclaimed as it Leapt from Kysmon's grip, pulled a small scroll from under its Armor and held it. He then unrolled it and began to chant a strange rhyme. Then, a Blue Blast of Energy shot from the scroll and nailed ShadowEtemon in the face. ShadowEtemon flew backwards until finally, he was at the edge of the Plateau, he was trapped between a cliff and ScribeDramon, Kysmon, and a mass of angered Gatomon. ShadowEtemon turned his head and peeked down the cliff.

"So, you think you've won?" ShadowEtemon questioned. "I won't go down that easily!" ShadowEtemon then held his arms out and just dropped backwards, off of the cliff. Tom and Emma raced to the edge of the cliff to see if ShadowEtemon truly killed himself. However, they saw a Large Black-Colored Bird race off through the sky with a Shadowy Figure on its back.

"He got away..." Tom stated.

"Today's not really a loss, though..." Greg began. "I mean, Jami got her DigiEgg, Aeromon can Armor to Kysmon, We all got our D-Vices, we showed ShadowEtemon we can kick his butt... That's not a bad first day in the Digital World."

"It may not be that much of a loss, but it's not that much of a Victory, either." ScribeDramon began to reply. "ShadowEtemon got away, He still knows the location of the 3 other DigiEggs, We still have no clue where the 3 are at."

"Well, we should be Optimistic about it... by the looks of that fight, ShadowEtemon's in for the long haul, he's not gonna go down without one heck of a fight!" Tom exclaimed. "So, I think we should as Optimistic as possible."

ScribeDramon nodded as stated, "We'll sleep in the Temple tonight, Tomorrow I'll take you to Baihumon and he'll inform the other Sovereigns. After the Sovereigns realize that the Prophecy is becoming a reality, they'll give us all the information we can on the Location of the DigiEggs and on the... well... you'll see soon enough. Let's go."

*Kysmon... De-Digivolve to... Aeromon*

And that being, ScribeDramon, the kids, and their Digimon entered the Temple and found themselves at home as they slept in Comfortable Beds of the Sleeping Quarters in the Temple of the Destined. Is ShadowEtemon truly still alive? Did He Really Escape on the back of that Black Bird? Or Perhaps Did he actually Hit the Ground and Perish, only frightening the bird, and causing it to fly off? If he did Survive, Can We Defeat him? Those are the questions that flowed the minds of the 4 Kids as they slept.
