Chapter 9: Tricelticymon and FlaWarmon: Warriors of Electricity and Fire Emma: Well, this is bad. I mean, these 2 sovereign dudes are dead, and they were supposed to be really tough. I don't know what I should say, really. It's just shocking, that yesterday I was Emma Eakin, but know. I'm just Emma. I'm lost in this big factory. If Enmon wasn't here I think I would've flipped out by now. that ShadowEtemon guy's pretty goofy lookin', so is his KnuckledToge guy thingy. I think if he gives me one more Split End, He'll be on the ground!

Tom: Ok. well, that KnuckledTogemon seemed tough, but let me at him and he'd be on the ground in seconds. Well, maybe not. but I bet when I get this DigiEgg thing, he will. Podmon's a pretty cool little guy, I can't wait to see him digivolved. well, it's a little hot around this volcano. I want to get out of here ASAP, C'ya!

"Well, I guess we're supposed to find that DigiEgg thinger." Emma mumbled as she tried to see in the dark factory. Enmon nodded as he took a few steps forward, only to be shot down to the ground by a black "V" shaped blast. A Black Colored ExVeemon jumped out of the shadows, revealing the golden spikes that infested his back, upper arm, tail, and lower legs. Emma jumped a distance back, pulled out her D-Vice, and pulled up the Digimon's Data.

Name: DarkExVeemon | Level: Champion | Attribute: Virus | Type: Mutant Digimon | Group: Dark Area | Attacks: Spike Missile, Darkened Vee Blast, Darkened Ex Blast, Golden Spike Shot | Other Info: No other info is known about this Digimon, other than it is one of ShadowEtemon's Mutant Knights, an older model. ShadowEtemon's Right Hand Man, Nanimon, tortured it; Almost to the point of its death, until ShadowEtemon decided to banish it a Banished Dimension and keep it, along with a few other specimens, as a just in case sort of thing. This Digimon is nothing compared to the other Mutant Knights.

The D-Vice stated in its usual mechanical voice. "Let's Go Enmon!" Emma exclaimed.

*Enmon!. Digivolve to. Liomon!*

Liomon stared down DarkExVeemon. They started to walk around in circles, staring at the other on the opposite side. Finally, DarkExVeemon made the first move. "SPIKE MISSILE!" It exclaimed as it threw it arms open and all the Spikes on its body shot off and directed themselves right at Liomon. Liomon jumped upward, dodging only the smallest amount of the spikes, while the rest nailed Liomon dead in the chest, causing Liomon to fly backwards and smash into the Machinery. The Spikes on DarkExVeemon's back slowly grew back.
"LIOMON!" Emma exclaimed as she ran to Liomon. As Emma reached only but halfway, DarkExVeemon stealthily dashed forward and grabbed Emma. Emma struggled, and DarkExVeemon fought back. Emma ended up dropping her D-Vice onto one of the conveyor belts, slowly, the belts started moving, and the D- Vice was lost inside a Conveyor Belt Duct.
"HA!" DarkExVeemon exclaimed.
"NO!" Liomon hollered as he gathered the rest of his strength to stand. "ROAR OF THUNDER!" The Blast nailed DarkExVeemon straight in the face, and somehow completely missed Emma. DarkExVeemon stumbled backwards. "ROAR OF THUNDER!" Liomon began to repeatedly blast DarkExVeemon in the face, causing him to stumble further and further back, until finally, he was lost in the shadows. Liomon ran over to Emma. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah." Emma managed to get out as she coughed again. Liomon looked at her, only to see a small cut on the side of her neck. Emma noticed he was looking at it. "I'm fine. it's just a scratch." Emma stood up and examined the Conveyor Belt where she dropped her D-Vice, as Liomon kept an eye out for DarkExVeemon.

*In a Dark Room, somewhere in the Digital World. *

"Well?" A loud booming voice asked from the shadows.
"Everything's almost complete." A second voice answered as it stepped from the shadows, it was ShadowEtemon.
"Good. It seems that our Plans are slowly backfiring. Our attempt to rid ourselves of the last of the Orbs has failed; for now they have found their way back to this world. I've also heard that the one carrying the Orb of the Beasts has found his DigiEgg." The first voice stated.
"This digs deeper than you think! I'm only a messenger, my master is displeased with the fact that 2 of the 4 have their DigiEggs. And he's quite displeased with you. You might be on the inside, but that doesn't make you safe," ShadowEtemon began.
"I only signed up for this job for you to assassinate the sovereigns, IS THAT, or IS THAT NOT Clear!?" The Voice exclaimed with anger, which sent a chill down ShadowEtemon's spine.
"You're not my master, you're just a pawn, like me. You've got 2 Strikes. 3, and you're out!" ShadowEtemon barked back.
"Yes, I'm sorry. These kids are making it too far! You'll just have to arrange another assault with the knights. Zhuqiaomon's the next target!" The voice replied. "By the way. I thought you said you wanted to try at the Kids one more time, solo?"
"Well. I wanted to, but then you said Baihumon and Ebonwumon would be there too. it was too risky, but then when those two double teamed me. it's not worth the risk. KnuckledTogemon's coming with me again!" ShadowEtemon stated as he turned and walked into the shadows.

*In Another Banished Dimension. *

"I can't wait to Armor Digivolve!" Podmon exclaimed as he jumped up.
"Settle Down, Little Dude." Tom mumbled as he looked around. "It's hot as hell up here." Tom and Podmon stood for a minute. "Let's check the village first." Tom suggested.
"Ok!" Podmon agreed. They both headed off towards the small village, hoping it would be slightly cooler. When they arrived, they stood in the town square for a moment.
"From the looks of these ruins, this had to have been a gorgeous town." Tom mumbled in awe at the beautiful white charred bricks that once were buildings. There were bloodstains everywhere. A second passed before Podmon pulled on Tom's pants. "What?" Tom looked at Podmon to see he was pointing behind Tom. Tom quickly turned to see one set of ruins that had the first story still standing. There was candle light emitting from the windows. Tom nodded as the two of them snuck over to the building. Tom peeked into the window to see a Red and Black Colored Ankylomon, with larger spikes on its back, and its entire body was flaming. It was standing in front of a Low Table, examining an old battered journal. Tom pulled out his D-Vice and pulled up the Digimon's Info.

Name: InfernoAnkylomon | Level: Champion | Attribute: Virus | Type: Dark Fire Digimon | Group: Dark Area | Attacks: Blazing Inferno, Flaming Buzz Saw, Spiked Rolling Pin, Inferno Ball | Other Info: No other info is known about this Digimon, other than it is one of ShadowEtemon's Mutant Knights, an older model. ShadowEtemon's Right Hand Man, Nanimon, tortured it; Almost to the point of its death, until ShadowEtemon decided to banish it a Banished Dimension and keep it, along with a few other specimens, as a just in case sort of thing. This Digimon is nothing compared to the other Mutant Knights.

"So. that's one of ShadowEtemon's Goons?" Tom whispered to Podmon. Podmon nodded in agreeance. At that moment, a last black and red fireball shot out of the window above Tom and Podmon. "AH!" Tom jumped to the side, stood up, and ran, closely followed by Podmon.
"BLAZING INFERNO!" The InfernoAnkylomon exclaimed, as it chased after the two of them. The Flames that surround its body grew bigger, and then he jumped into the air and spun around in circles, shooting fire darts in every direction. Tom got nailed with one in his left arm. Podmon quickly directed Tom to an alley and they both ran down it.
"Tom, I'm going to go and distract him, you find that DigiEgg, then we'll heat things up!" Podmon suggested. Tom nodded in agreement. Podmon ran back out the alley.
"FLAMING HI-KICK!" Podmon yelled as it nailed InfernoAnkylomon in the face. InfernoAnkylomon was unaffected.
"HA! FLAMING BUZZ SAW!" InfernoAnkylomon exclaimed as the flames on its body grew, it jumped into the air, and began spinning forward, quickly landing on the ground, and charging forward towards Podmon. Podmon tore off as InfernoAnkylomon began to gain on it. Tom knew this was his chance. He stood up, grabbed onto the burn on his left arm, and ran out into the street once again.
"Haul Ass, Podmon!" Tom mumbled as he ran to the building where InfernoAnkylomon was examining that journal. When he arrived there, he saw that the door was in shambles. "He must've just charged through it." Tom mumbled, referring to InfernoAnkylomon. Tom walked through. All that was in the small room was the small table, with a candle and that journal on it. Curiously, Tom peeked at the journal, and began to read it.

I've sent out my 4 Riders to speed any word of the Sovereignists' location I fear they may be making a move to attack my capitol That DigiEgg ShadowEtemon gifted to me is nothing more than trouble I've made my decision. tonight I'm going to toss the egg into the Volc

"What?" Tom thought to himself at the unfinished journal entry. He turned the page to see nothing more than a blank page. He continued flipping to realize that the incomplete entry was the last. He also noticed that at the bottom of the page with the unfinished entry, there were bloodstains. "Did he die while he was writing it?" A moment passed while Tom thought for a moment. "Volc. VOLCANO!" Tom exclaimed. Tom immediately ran out the door and towards the Volcano.

*Meanwhile.*

Podmon was running as fast as he could from InfernoAnkylomon. Finally, InfernoAnkylomon caught Podmon and just ran him over, flattening him to the ground. As InfernoAnkylomon continued on his rampage, Podmon limped up and stared at the spinning Digimon. Podmon didn't have any idea how he was going to beat it. "Just by time." Podmon thought to himself. InfernoAnkylomon quickly made a circle and spun back towards Podmon. Podmon jumped into the air and quickly dodged InfernoAnkylomon. InfernoAnkylomon slid, finally stopping to spin.
"INFERNO BALL!" InfernoAnkylomon shot a black and red fireball at Podmon. Podmon kicked the fireball, splicing it into two pieces, which shot off into two different directions, which missed Podmon. "So. you want to play that way, Huh? BLAZING INFERNO!" InfernoAnkylomon opened its mouth and breathed red and black fire at Podmon. It nailed Podmon and he flew backwards, smashing into a set of ruins, destroying what was left of the building. InfernoAnkylomon repeatedly shot Podmon over and over again. Podmon cringed in pain.
"Hurr.y up. Tom." Podmon stood with what little strength he had. "You'll never. stop me! FLAMING LO-KICK!" Podmon dove, kicked InfernoAnkylomon's front legs out from underneath him, and InfernoAnkylomon's face dug into the ground. "FLAMING HI-KICK!" Podmon kicked InfernoAnkylomon in the back of the head, driving his face into the ground. Podmon continued to do this, until InfernoAnkylomon jumped upward, bit down on Podmon's leg, and thrashed him around. Podmon tried to resist, but InfernoAnkylomon just tightened his jaws.

*Meanwhile.*

Tom raced up the side of the volcano. He ran as fast he could. Finally, when he reached the top, there was a small ledge. There was a skeleton on the ground, with arrows sticking out of it. Tom examined the area quickly. Finally, Tom pulled out his D-Vice and began pounding on the buttons. Tom turned around to see flames and explosions in the town. He turned back to the volcano and slammed on buttons harder. "PODMON WON'T LAST MUCH LONGER! JUST TELL ME WHERE THE EGG IS!!" Tom exclaimed. His D- Vice flew out of his hands and floated above the Pool of Lava. Tom looked puzzled. Just then, the D-Vice turned Screen Down, and a small Egg floated out of the lava. It had a hardened layer of Lava protecting it. Finally, the D-Vice absorbed the DigiEgg, and floated back towards Tom. Tom grabbed the D-Vice. As he did, he felt the power of the DigiEgg surge through his body. "Let's go! Just a few more minutes Podmon!!!" Tom ran down the side of the volcano as fast as he could.
He ran as fast as he could. Once he reached the town, Podmon was on the ground, cringing in severe pain, and being pummeled by Fireballs from InfernoAnkylomon. "PODMON!"

*Podmon!. Armor Digivolve to. FLAWARMON!*

InfernoAnkylomon looked intimidated as he looked at the Warrior of Fire. FlaWarmon's mouth was covered with a metal Pyramid-Like Shaped piece and the flames emitting from the Black Stone on his forehead covered most of the rest of his face. His Right Shoulder had a Gold Armor Piece on it, and his right had a Black Armor piece. His arms, legs, and face were all charred from the flames emitting from him. He held a large staff with a blade at the top and a thick Zig-Zagged wood piece at the bottom, and both the top and bottom were on fire. His Left Arm had a Red, Orange, Yellow, and Black cannon on it. A Metal Breastplate with an Orange Symbol, an Orangish Yellow Cloth hanging from his right shoulder pad, and an Orange Cloth wrapping around his chest from his left Shoulder. His Legs were almost completely covered in black armor.
"Wow!" Tom exclaimed. In awe, he pulled his D-Vice out and pulled up FlaWarmon's Digimon Data.

Name: FlaWarmon | Level: Champion/Armor | Attribute: Vaccine | Type: Flaming Digimon | Group: Unknown | Attacks: Staff Shot, Flaming Cannon Arm, Fire Arrow | Other Info: This Powerful Fire Digimon is the Armored form of Podmon and the DigiEgg of the Flaming Warrior. A legendary warrior, many believe this Digimon is one to have slain countless threats to the Digital World, single handedly. Others believe this Warrior is sinister and evil. This is a very powerful Digimon, and should not be taken lightly.

The D-Vice stated in its usual mechanical voice. "GO GET HIM FLAWARMON!" Tom exclaimed.
"Oh. I will!" FlaWarmon began, "STAFF SHOT!" FlaWarmon exclaimed as he held his staff, blade side forward, and a massive blast of flames shot off at InfernoaAnkylomon. InfernoAnkylomon stumbled backwards, threw its head upward, and release a spine-chilling roar. Its eyes seem to be filled with fire.
"Finally, A CHALLENGE!" InfernoAnkylomon roared as the two ran at each other.

*Meanwhile, In Another Banished Dimension. *

"Well, in theory. If I. GRRR. Where's Greg when you need him!" Emma growled as Liomon stood at attention. Emma stared at the moving conveyor belt. After a minute or so, she saw something go past. It wasn't any ordinary item. It was a Black Egg with Yellow Thunderbolts going up the side and a small Lightning Bolt Horn sticking out in the front. "THAT'S IT! THE DIGIEGG!" Emma exclaimed as she leapt on it, only to be sucked into the Conveyor Belt Duct.
"EMMA!" Liomon exclaimed, as he tried to follow her, but couldn't fit into the duct.
"Now. let's finish this!" DarkExVeemon's voice echoed through the room. "GOLDEN SPIKE SHOT!" At that, hundreds of golden spikes shot from DarkExVeemon's wrists, quickly raced out of the shadows, and nailed Liomon. Liomon smacked into the wall but quickly regained himself.
"ROAR OF THUNDER!" Liomon exclaimed as he began to blindly shoot his 'Roar of Thunder's all through the room. Finally, he heard DarkExVeemon crash into the wall.
"I'm impressed. it's difficult to fight something you can't see. guess where I am!" DarkExVeemon ordered. "DARKENED VEE BLAST! DARKENED EX BLAST!" Black 'X's and 'V's began to shoot all out of the shadows and repeatedly nail Liomon. Liomon was losing strength, and fast! Although these two were almost evenly matched, DarkExVeemon had the edge as long as he was in the shadows. The blasts wouldn't let up.

*Liomon. DeDigivolve to. Enmon!*

Enmon was in severe pain on the ground. DarkExVeemon's evil laugh echoed through the room horrifyingly. Enmon stood up with what strength it had. "JOLT!" Enmon exclaimed as it shot the blast upward, repeatedly, eventually hitting one of the lights, and causing it to light for just a moment, until it overloaded and shattered. For that second, Enmon examined the room. It seemed endless in height. The room was nothing more than a maze of conveyor belts, and several ducts where the Conveyor Belts disappear. There was no sign of DarkExVeemon.

*Meanwhile.*

Emma sat on the conveyor belt while it was inside the duct. After a minute or so, they left the duct, so she stood and ran forward, trying to catch up to her D-Vice. After but a second, an intense blue light appeared in front of her, it floated there for a moment. The DigiEgg in her hand flew out and absorbed itself into the light. The light then dimmed and flew over to Emma. Emma grabbed it. "My D-Vice!" She exclaimed. "Now just to get back to wherever I was."
"I can help you with that!" A voice bellowed. "DARKENED EX BLAST!" A black beam in the shape of an 'X' shot the Conveyor belt in front of Emma, causing Emma to fall through the gap as she moved. She heard the sound of someone swiftly jumping back and forth on her fall. Finally, when she was mere feet from the ground, DarkExVeemon caught her, ripped the D- Vice from her hand, and tore off into the shadows. "HAHAHA!"
"LIOMON!? ENMON!? ANYONE!! SOMEONE HELP!" Emma exclaimed as DarkExVeemon began firing 'Darkened Ex Blast's and 'Darkened Vee Blast's at her location.
Enmon ran towards where the screams where coming from, finally ending up right next to Emma. "Emma, is that you?" Enmon asked.
"Oh Enmon!" Emma said as she grabbed Enmon and ran through the shadows, avoiding the numerous blasts. Finally, she tripped over something and they fell down. "Do it Enmon!" Emma exclaimed. Enmon nodded.
"JOLT!" Enmon exclaimed as he began shooting blindly into the shadows.
"Oh. great. what am I gonna' do. No D-Vice, No DigiEgg. I can't even s. THAT'S IT!" Emma thought to herself. She spun around on the ground and felt what she tripped over. "Exactly what I wanted!" Emma said as she felt it. It was a wire. "ENMON! ZAP THE WIRE!" Enmon did as Emma requested. As Enmon shot a Jolt at it, all the lights in the room suddenly flashed on.
"There he is!" Enmon exclaimed as he saw DarkExVeemon hopping from Conveyor Belt to Conveyor Belt. Enmon quickly jumped up and started to follow. After awhile of what seemed to be an intense race between the two, Enmon finally caught up to DarkExVeemon. "Gotcha! JOLT!" Enmon shot DarkExVeemon square in the back. He flung his chest forward, smacked into the wall, and dropped the D-Vice. It fell to the ground. Emma quickly ran to it.
"LET'S DO IT ENMON!" Emma exclaimed.

*Enmon!. Armor Digivolve to. TRICELETICYMON!*

"WAHOO!" Emma exclaimed as she saw the vicious looking warrior. Triceleticymon looked like a black panther or lion like creature that stood on 2 legs, instead of 4. It wore a pair of Brown Baggy Pants. It also had 8 Tails, each with a small metal ring at the end of it, 4 were purple and 4 were gold. The lower half of its right arm was mechanical. It held a Black and Purple Lightning Bolt-Shaped Sword, with a massive wood handle strapped on his back. Emma held her D-Vice towards the warrior and pulled up its info.

Name: Triceleticymon | Level: Champion/Armor | Attribute: Vaccine | Type: Electrical Beast Digimon | Group: Nature Spirits | Attacks: Bolt Shot, Electrical Blade, Omega Jolt | Other Info: This intimidating noble warrior has the Power to summon lightning bolts at his request. He's the Armor Digivolved form of Enmon with the DigiEgg of Electricity. This Digimon is a master with swords and is a very brutal fighter. Don't underestimate this Digimon.

"Go Triceleticymon!" Emma exclaimed as Triceleticymon followed DarkExVeemon up higher.
"OMEGA JOLT!" Triceleticymon exclaimed as his 8 Tails pointed up at DarkExVeemon and shot multiple blasts of electricity at DarkExVeemon. He got nailed in the chest and stomach, causing him to shoot upward and smack into other conveyor belts.
"ERRR! YOU HAVEN'T WON YET!" DarkExVeemon exclaimed. "SPIKE MISSILE!" DarkExVeemon shot his spikes at the lights on the ceiling, shattering many of them, causing the shadows to fall over the room again.
"BOLT SHOT!" Triceleticymon exclaimed as he placed his hands together, wrist to wrist, and began repeatedly shooting blasts of thunder throughout the room. After a few moments, Triceleticymon heard a scream on the ground. He spun around to see DarkExVeemon holding Emma by the throat. "NO! EMMA!"
"Come and get her." DarkExVeemon stated as he took a few steps back into the shadows. Triceleticymon closed his eyes and listened. He concentrated. he listened closely, until finally he heard it. He heard DarkExVeemon almost silent footsteps.
"ELECTRICAL BLADE!" Triceleticymon exclaimed as he drew his blade, it began to emit small zaps of electricity, and he riskily threw it in the direction of DarkExVeemon. The blade stuck into DarkExVeemon's arm, pinning his arm to the wall, forcing him to release Emma. Emma ran off into one of the small portions where there was light. It was at that moment that Triceleticymon had an idea. "OMEGA JOLT!" Triceleticymon shot at the roof repeatedly, causing holes to appear in the ceiling, letting in sunlight. After awhile of shooting of the ceiling, almost all the roof had fallen through. Seeing as Triceleticymon was hidden in the shadows too, DarkExVeemon couldn't attack him to make him stop. Triceleticymon now had visibility of the entire room. Triceleticymon jumped downward until he was at ground level, and made his way over to the pinned DarkExVeemon.
"You. You!" DarkExVeemon stated through his mouth with his teeth closed tightly and blood dripping from his mouth.
"Give it up." Triceleticymon sighed as he ripped his sword from DarkExVeemon's arm and stared him the eye.
"I. I. SPIKE MISSILE!" DarkExVeemon shot Triceleticymon. Triceleticymon stumbled backwards. I've got more tricks up my sleeve than meets the eye!" DarkExVeemon grabbed one of the Spikes on his upper arm and began to pull it out. He continued to pull until it finally stopped. It was a sword. "Now. let us fight like men. to the death!" Triceleticymon nobly nodded. The two of them began to clash swords. Triceleticymon swung to the left, but DarkExVeemon blocked it. DarkExVeemon swung to the right, but Triceleticymon blocked it. They clashed swords for what seemed as if to be hours, until finally Triceleticymon nailed DarkExVeemon on his right side. DarkExVeemon grabbed his side.
"You fought well. Good Bye." Triceleticymon mumbled as he slashed DarkExVeemon's neck on the left side. DarkExVeemon was immediately deleted.
"WOOHOO!" Emma exclaimed as she ran out from her hiding spot underneath one of the Ground Level Conveyor Belts.

*Triceleticymon. DeDigivolve to. Enmon!*

At that, a small white blur of light appeared in front of them, out of which a Wizardmon appeared from. "Hello," The Wizardmon began. "I am here to take you to Azulongmon, Come!" At that, Enmon and Emma followed the Wizardmon.

*Meanwhile. *

InfernoAnkylomon and FlaWarmon charged at each other. "SPIKED ROLLING PIN!" InfernoAnkylomon exclaimed as he spun towards FlaWarmon.
"FLAMING CANNON ARM!" FlaWarmon exclaimed as he shot several fireballs from his cannon arm at InfernoAnkylomon. The Attacks deflected off of the spinning Digimon. FlaWarmon quickly used his staff like a pole vault and jumped over InfernoAnkylomon. As InfernoAnkylomon slid out of his Spiked Rolling Pin position, FlaWarmon fired another Flaming Cannon Arm at InfernoAnkylomon. It nailed InfernoAnkylomon in the back of the head, driving his head in the ground. FlaWarmon jumped forward, placed his foot on the back of InfernoAnkylomon's neck, and repeatedly shot InfernoAnkylomon in the back of the head. InfernoAnkylomon flung its tail upward and smacked FlaWarmon with the club at the end, causing FlaWarmon to stumble forward. InfernoAnkylomon jumped upward.
"BLAZING INFERNO!" InfernoAnkylomon exclaimed as it shot it's several fire arrows at FlaWarmon. FlaWarmon spun his staff around in circles, deflecting all the arrows. Finally, InfernoAnkylomon charged at FlaWarmon, with his head lowered. FlaWarmon jumped up into the air above InfernoAnkylomon, spun his staff so the blade side was on the bottom, and drove the blade through InfernoAnkylomon's neck. InfernoAnkylomon was deleted immediately.
"EXCELLENT!" Tom exclaimed as he ran towards FlaWarmon.

*FlaWarmon. DeDigivolve to. Podmon!*

After not but a few seconds of celebration, a small white blur appeared in front of Tom and Podmon, of which a Wizard appeared out of. "Hello," The Wizardmon began. "I'm here to take you to Azulongmon, Come!" As Emma and Greg did, Tom followed the Wizardmon.
When the Light cleared from around Tom, he was in the middle of a large cathedral ceiling room, with beautiful medieval castle-like design, with gothic arches and the likes. It was absolutely beautiful, and absolutely HUGE.
"Hi Tom!" A voice said from behind Tom and Podmon. Tom turned to see Greg, Zoomon, Emma, Enmon, and a massive Blue Dragon behind him.

To Be Continued.
