Chapter 8: Sabtemon: The Beast of Legends

"Well, what now?" Zoomon questioned as Greg and he both stood in Ankle-Deep Swamp Water. There was a THICK Fog that covered the area, making it pretty tough to be able to see where you going and such.

"I suggest we find some land somewhere... And hope this WaruEtemon person isn't still here." Greg answered, as he began to stand up. Just as he was turning to start walking, Zoomon jumped in front of him and growled. The hairs on Zoomon seemed to stand straight up. "What is it?"

"I smell something!" Zoomon exclaimed as he began to scan the area. Just then, Zoomon's ears seemed to perk up. "I hear something, too!" There was a few moments of silence, eerie silence. At a sudden, quick motion, Zoomon leapt in the air, splashed into the murky swamp water, and pulled out what seemed to be a small yellow frog with red fur on its back and some black spikes down its back, sticking out from the hair. Greg held out his D-Vice and hit the button at the top.

Name: Gizamon Level: Rookie Attribute: Virus Type: Sea Animal Digimon Group: Unknown Attacks: Spiral Saw, 4-Leg Kick Other Info: Gizamon are small Frog-Like Digimon. They are mostly found in sea or ocean areas, but some have been know to be found in Swamps, Lakes, Deltas, and other Water bodies.

"Gizamon!" Greg exclaimed, as if he suddenly remembered the Digimon. Zoomon leapt off of Gizamon, landed a few feet back, and stared at the Gizamon. "What do you want?"

"You attacked me!" Gizamon exclaimed, referring to Zoomon.

"What do you expect? You were the one lurking around all quiet!" Greg replied. At that, Gizamon shook his head as if he was about to saw something.

"Well... how about... SPIRAL SAW!" Gizamon exclaimed as it jumped up, dove and began to spin around in circles, its spikes on its back acting as a saw, it spun towards Zoomon. Zoomon leapt out of the way, Gizamon crashed into the water, then surfaced, with its back towards Zoomon.

"SAVAGE SHOT!" Zoomon exclaimed as it nailed Gizamon right in the back. Gizamon flew forward and crashed into the water. Gizamon just floated there, motionless. Zoomon took a few steps forward to investigate.

"4-LEG KICK!" Gizamon exclaimed (When Zoomon came close enough) as he jumped up, took his 4 Legs, and kicked Zoomon with each of them in unison. Zoomon flew backwards, but regained himself and landed on his feet, in the water. "SPIRAL SAW!" Gizamon rolled up and flew at Zoomon. Zoomon tried to leap out of the way, but his hid legs got sliced by Gizamon. Zoomon fell into the water with his Limp hind legs. As Gizamon crashed into the water from the Spiral Saw, Zoomon stumbled up.

"SAVAGE SHOT!" Zoomon hollered as he shot Gizamon straight in the back. Gizamon fell into the water. "SAVAGE SHOT!" Zoomon nailed Gizamon again. "SAVAGE SHOT!" Zoomon kept firing 'Savage Shot' After 'Savage Shot' After 'Savage Shot' at Gizamon. Gizamon finally rolled over and began to cough. "Had enough?"

Gizamon coughed and mumbled, "No..." Gizamon surprisingly jumped extremely high into the air, did a back flip into a Nose Dive straight into the water.

"He... he..." Greg mumbled as he watched Gizamon disappear under the water.

"He's underground! Gizamon can Swim AND Dig..." Zoomon mumbled as he stood at attention and turned his head in caution at every noise he heard. Finally, Gizamon shot out from the ground right underneath Zoomon in a Spiral Saw attack formation. Zoomon shot into the air. As Zoomon was at the highest point, "SAVAGE SHOT!" He nailed Gizamon straight in his head, causing the Gizamon to crash down onto the water again. At that, Zoomon landed next to Gizamon's motionless body. Zoomon took a few steps back. Gizamon suddenly shot up and took off.

"LET'S GET HIM!" Greg exclaimed as he picked up the Injured Zoomon and they raced off after Gizamon. "He thinks he can sneak around us, get accidently attacked in our own caution, try to kill us, and get away with it? Uh uh..." Greg thought as he carried Zoomon. Gizamon was moving just too fast for Greg, especially going through the water really put Greg at a Disadvantage. Finally, after some time of running, Greg fell flat on his face in the water. He stumbled as he saw Zoomon standing above him.

"Are you alright? I jumped out of your arms just in time..." Zoomon asked. Greg nodded in response to Zoomon's question. Out of the corner of Greg's eye, he saw Gizamon in his Spiral Saw formation flying through the air straight at Zoomon!

"ZOOMON WATCH OUT!" Greg warned. Immediately after, Greg stumbled to his feet and jumped back. Zoomon turned and stared at Gizamon who was flying at him.

"Why won't you learn... SAVAGE SHOT!" Zoomon exclaimed. The blast nailed Gizamon straight on, but it seemed to deflect off of him. At that, Zoomon knew he had to get out of the way, but it was too late, Zoomon got nailed head on by the Gizamon. Zoomon flew back a bit and regained himself quickly.

"Had enough yet!?" Gizamon questioned sarcastically. "SPIRAL SAW!" Gizamon yet again spun and flew towards Zoomon. Zoomon leapt into the air, straight at Gizamon.

"HORN BLASTER!" Zoomon exclaimed as the horn on his head Shot off at Gizamon, another horn immediately replacing it. The horn nailed Gizamon and he shot backwards as he flailed out of his Spiral Formation. "No, I haven't had enough. I think you have though!" Gizamon crashed into the water. Gizamon slowly stood up.

"I'm not... through with you... just yet!" Gizamon exclaimed as it twitched in pain one last time. "I was sent by ShadowEtemon to ensure you don't find the DigiEgg of the Beasts! And with the Gift he gave me, I don't think you will..." Gizamon slowly began to creep Greg out.

*Gizamon... Digivolve to... CYCLONEMON!*

Greg held out his D-Vice towards Cyclonemon and pressed the button at the top.

Name: Cyclonemon Level: Champion Attribute: Virus Type: Dragon Digimon Group: Unknown Attacks: Hyper Heat, Arm Bomber Other Info: Cyclonemon is a Vicious Dragon Digimon who uses Heat Energy to attack. They've been known to be lurking in many Swamps throughout the Digital World. His Heat Bomber should surely heat things up.

"I think it's time to shut you down!" The large Yellow Monster exclaimed as it stared at the small Zoomon.

"We're in trouble..." Greg mumbled.

"Don't lose hope just yet!" Zoomon began, "SAVAGE SHOT!" Zoomon nailed Cyclonemon square in the Face. Cyclonemon wasn't effected at all! "Ok, now it's time to worry!"

"Pitiful... HYPER HEAT!" Cyclonemon exclaimed as a Large Red Beam of energy shot from its forehead and nailed Zoomon. The attack sent Zoomon flying through the air. Greg ran over, grabbed Zoomon, and took off through the water. Cyclonemon chased off after them.

"If only you could Digivolve!" Greg mumbled. "Like Aeromon... or Enmon..."

"Are you saying you'd prefer them as a partner?" Zoomon asked as it cringed in pain.

"No... It's... never mind, we just have to keep running!" Greg exclaimed as he started to Speed up. After some time of Running, Greg noticed something... Up Ahead there was Land! "If we can get there... maybe there'll be somebody to help..." Greg began to run at Top-Speed.

"HYPER HEAT!" Cyclonemon exclaimed as he began to shoot beams all around Greg. Greg was just barely dodging the attacks. Finally, he jumped up onto the small area of land. At this, Greg noticed that he was out of the swamp, except there was still the Thick Fog and the Nasty Smell. Greg turned his head to see Cyclonemon was gaining on them, and fast! He tore off again. "HYPER HEAT!" Cyclonemon began shooting again. One almost nailed Greg right in the heel. It was SO Close. Greg was getting exhausted, REALLY exhausted. He was lucky he ran this far, already. Greg dropped to his knees. Zoomon leapt out of his arms and ran at Cyclonemon.

"Don't you dare even damage a Hair on Greg's head! I won't let you harm my Partner! Not as long I'm around!" Zoomon exclaimed as his face filled itself with rage. "Run, Greg! I've got things under control..."

"No you don't!" Greg exclaimed in reply.

"Just go and find the DigiEgg! Then Come back here and we'll have a Cyclonemon Roast!" Zoomon ordered as Greg reluctantly and surprisingly continued to run.

"HYPER HEAT!" and "SAVAGE SHOT!" were the last things Greg heard as he ran off. He ran and ran... and then ran some more. He ran for what seemed like an Eternity. Greg's muscles ached so bad. He dropped to his knees again.

"I... can't... go on... anymore..." Greg gasped. At that, he looked up to see what appeared to be a Village. "I just hope... Zoomon will be ok..." Greg stood up and stumbled his way to the Village. When he arrived there, he found that it was Abandoned. "Where the hell is this DigiEgg!?" Greg irritably walked over to the Statue of a Large Ape-Like Digimon that had a Cannon on its Left Arm, and a Battle Axe in its right hand. It also had a Helmet on its head that was similar to FlameDramon's, only black. He flattened himself up against the base of it, and slid downward, until he was sitting. He sighed and put his head back. "Yeah... Some DigiDestined I am... I can't even Find this DigiEgg thing, my Partner's off getting creamed, and the Person we're supposed to defeat is guarded by that KnuckledToge thing that easily deleted Baihumon." Greg rolled his eyes as his failure. He pulled out his D-Vice, held his arm back to throw it, and then chucked the D-Vice. However, it only traveled what appeared to be Inches until it stopped in mid air and surrounded itself in a White Glow. Greg stood in astonishment. The D-Vice began to float upward until it was at Eye Level with the Statue.

"What's going on!?" Greg asked himself in confusion. At this, a small white beam flashed at the Statue. The beam was like a Cone, it was small at the D-Vice end, but it was larger at the Statue. Greg looked to see what appeared to be a small Egg coming out of the statue, and traveling in the beam, it was moving to the D-Vice. It had a front set of legs, each with a Metallic piece at the lower half of each leg, a (what appeared to be) mini jetpack on its back, a tail with a golden blade at the end of Metal Piece at the end of a Metal Machine thing that encased most of its tail, and a helmet that covered its eyes. "The... DigiEgg of the Beasts!?" Once the DigiEgg completely entered the D-Vice, the glow disappeared and it dropped to the ground. Greg dove, grabbed the D-Vice, and tore off in the direction of Zoomon and Cyclonemon.

*While that happened...*

"HYPER HEAT!" Cyclonemon shot. Zoomon just barely leapt out of the way.

"SAVAGE SHOT!" Zoomon exclaimed as the blast nailed Cyclonemon right in his chest. Cyclonemon stood there, unaffected.

"You can't beat me..." Cyclonemon began, "ARM BOMBER!" Cyclonemon held out his Bigger arm and shot a big black blast out that hit the ground right in front of Zoomon. It caused a HUGE explosion that sent Zoomon flying. "Had enough?!" Zoomon stumbled to his feet. He was just barely standing up.

"I... won't... give up! Greg... will find... the DigiEgg... when he does... you're toast!" Zoomon replied as he stumbled a bit. "SAVAGE SHOT!" Zoomon nailed Cyclonemon in the face, but Cyclonemon wasn't hurt at all. Zoomon was sent flying backwards due to the recoil of his own attack! That's how weak he was.

"HYPER HEAT!" Cyclonemon shot. He began to punish Zoomon, nailing him with Attack, after Attack, after Attack. Zoomon was finally on the ground. He couldn't even stand. Cyclonemon walked over and stood over Zoomon's body. "I think it's time that you learned your lesson... You mess with Best, You die with the Rest!" Cyclonemon prepared to fire a Hyper Hear at Zoomon. "HYP..."

"ZOOMON!" Greg yelled as he came racing to the scene of the Fight.

"G... r... eg..." Zoomon mumbled. Cyclonemon immediately turned to Greg.

"All who oppose me will fall! HYPER..." Cyclonemon began.

*Zoomon... Armor Digivolve to... SABTEMON!*

"Excellent!" Greg exclaimed as he looked at the large light blue Wolf-Like Digimon with Black splotches all over it. It had a Helmet that covered its face that faded from black to blue on the top, and had Gold Rims around it, and a Blade sticking from both sides. Its front right leg had a Metal Piece covering the Bottom half, the top of the Piece was light blue, and the bottom of the Piece was an aqua blue. Out of the top piece were 5 Black Spikes. His front right foot was covered in a Gold and Black Covering. Its front left leg had a Metal piece covering the bottom half, as well. At the top of it was just Solid Blue, in the Middle were Blue and Gold Triangles (Going in a Shape like: /\/\/\/ ), and at the Bottom was a Gold rim with 3 Spikes coming from each side that jutted upward. Over it's light blue feet jutted out 3 Spikes from the Metal Piece.

Its Hind legs had what appeared to have Metal Collars around the Ankles, a Spike from the back part of each leg, and Black Tattoo-Like Markings. It also had two Aqua Colored Curved Jet Packs attached to an Aqua Colored Metal Collar-Like thing around Sabtemon's Torso. Each Curved Jet Pack had Two Nozzle Things, one at the Bottom, and one to the Back. (The back is for Speed wether flying or on foot, and the bottom is for elevation) It's massive tail had a Metal Collar-Like thing near the beginning of it. At the end was a large Dark Blue Tank Holder that held a tank full of fluid inside of it. At the edge of that was a Massive Golden Blade. When Greg took a second look at Sabtemon, he noticed that there were tubes going in out of skin at places. Greg pointed his D-Vice at Sabtemon and pressed the button at the top.

Name: Sabtemon Level: Champion/Armor Attribute: Data Type: Beast Digimon Group: Nature Spirits Attacks: Beast Howl, Golden Tail Swipe, Jet Pack Bomb Dive Other Info: Sabtemon is the Legendary Beast. It is the Armor form of Zoomon and the DigiEgg of the Beasts. Zoomon is a Digimon brought forth by the Power of the Orb of the Beasts. This Digimon's Body is very hard to move, therefore the tank on his tail is a Body Stimulant that flows through his body through tubes, making it easy to move his heavy body. The fluid in the tank is also used as Fuel for his Jet pack.

"I'll still smear you on the ground!" Cyclonemon exclaimed as it looked at Sabtemon. "ARM BOMBER!" Sabtemon used his Rear Jet pack to slide right underneath the attack and head butted Cyclonemon right in the Chest. Cyclonemon shot backwards. "HYPER HEAT!" Sabtemon easily dodged the attack. "NO! YOU WILL FALL! I will not lose! ARM BOMBER!" Sabtemon jumped upward, his Jet pack activated and flew high.

"JET PACK BOMB DIVE!" Sabtemon exclaimed as he began to dive at Cyclonemon. He smashed head on into Cyclonemon, driving Cyclonemon to the ground. Cyclonemon stumbled to his feet and stared at Sabtemon.

"HYPER HEAT!" Cyclonemon began to shoot several Hyper Heats, Sabtemon easily dodging them all.

"BEAST HOWL!" Sabtemon exclaimed as he opened his mouth. A large beam of White and Black Energy shot out and nailed Cyclonemon. The blast kept on drilling Cyclonemon, finally, the blast shot straight Cyclonemon, and he was immediately deleted.

"YES SABTEMON!" Greg exclaimed as he ran over to the Wolf Digimon.

"Anything to save you, Greg, Partner!" Sabtemon said modestly.

*Sabtemon... DeDigivolve to... Zoomon*

It wasn't but just a minute before a blur of light appeared in front of both Greg and Zoomon. When the light disappeared it revealed a Wizardmon.

"Hello," The Wizardmon began. "I am here to take you to Azulongmon. Come!" Wizardmon placed his hand on Greg's Should and the other on Zoomon's head. At that, they were encased in a blur of light, and they vanished from the Banished Dimension.
