(Guardromon) During the sea night upon the 50/50, Veemon told his story to Tommy of how his village was destroyed by Duskmon and how he met up with Garudamon. The story was emotional as Raidramon, Veemon's brother, was very caring to his younger brother. Veemon said that Duskmon kidnapped the villagers leaving himself and Raidramon alone in the village where they were attacked. Veemon escaped but, nothing is known of Raidramon's fate... Takuya and the others were awake to hear Veemon's story and they vowed to avange Veemon's 'onii-chan'. Whatever that is...

DIGIMON FRONTIER:THE REVIVAL OF VALMARMON.
Episode 18:Danger Ahead! Enter the Cliffs of Bladormon!
By Ninetalesuk.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Those who read the last episode might think that Veemon's big brother, Raidramon, has been killed by Duskmon. Well, did I say he got killed? *wink* *wink* Did I? Well? Did I? Never mind.

Also, this chapter will feature a return apperance from Panzerdramon, the Armoured Guardian Dragon Digimon that had a small appearance in Episode 1. He Armour Digivolved from Divinemon with the Digi-Egg of Freedom. It resembles a Gamecube without the carry-object on its back with the crest that resembles Earth. You will need a strong sense of Freedom to activate this rare Digi-Egg. Besides, 'bout time I put Panzerdramon back in.

And, Digimon Information for Panzerdramon will be in Episode 1 while Vilemon's data is in Episode 7. That is all. On with the show!

----------------------------------------

Panzerdramon, a humanoid dragon Digimon with wings that look soild, wearing gloves that is made of metal and wears an armour vest with a crest upon it that remembles Earth, walked through a beautiful forest, carrying a small backpack on his right arm.

He was heading to the Holy Cathedral to see His Holiness Zera about the Day of Evil that will be coming someday. Panzerdramon hasn't been attacked by any thieves or bad Digimon because they fear him by just looking at him.

Before Panzerdramon could go any furthur on his journey, he heard a scream. "What was that?!" He cried out as he dropped his bag and ran towards the source of the cry. He stopped as he saw a figure, laying beside a river being attacked by... "Oh no! Vilemon!!!"

There were four bat/monkey like Digimon flying about a Digimon that Panzerdramon couldn't make out. He knew it was male because he heard the weak cries from him saying... "Stop it... Please.. Leave me alone..."

Panzerdramon couldn't take it anymore, he leapt out of his hiding place and got into a fighting stance, attracting the Vilemon's attention. "Pick on someone your own size, bullies!"

"What do we have here?" One the Vilemon asked, laughing.

The second Vilemon laughed as well. "Some punk who thinks he is better than us."

"We will show him. Right?" The third Vilemon said, grinning. (Though, they ALWAYS grin)

The forth Vilemon nodded. "Right. Hey, dragon-boy! Nightmare Shocker!!!"

Panzerdramon smirked as the 4 Vilemon opened their mouths to fire some small black rings of shockwaves towards him. He opened his arms wide as the metal gloves he got on glowed with yellow energy. "Call that a shockwave? Let me show you a REAL Shock-Wave!!!"

To the Vilemon's surprise, Panzerdramon slammed his fists together and a yellow wave came out, not only destroying the Nightmare Shocker but, also knocking the Vilemon down on the ground, in a pile of dizzy Vilemon.

"My Shock-Wave attack certainly knocked you guys out, huh?" Panzerdramon said, with a smirk. He held his left arm into the air and silver energy covered the metal glove he had on. "Now, you will pay the price for being such evil beings."

"This is gonna hurt!!!" The Vilemon screamed out, hugging each other in fear.

"Metal Dragon Punch!!!" Panzerdramon roared, throw his fist and unleashed a forceful power of silver energy onto the Vilemon. An explosion occured and 4 Digi-eggs flew away in place of the 4 evil Champion Digimon.

Panzerdramon clapped his hands to get rid of the dust and sighed. "I'm beggining to fear that the Day of Evil is coming nearer and Valmarmon will return. I must see Zera at once..."

A small groan from the Digimon the Vilemon attacked caught Panzerdramon's attention. The Armoured Dragonn ran over to the Digimon's side. "Hey! Hey! Are you all right?!"

The injured Digimon groaned and looked up at Panzerdramon with tired eyes. "Please... help me... find my... brother..." Then, he was out-cold.

"Wake up! Come on!" Panzerdramon said, shaking the Digimon. "Oh no.... I better pick up my bag and get him to the Cathedral. Quickly!"

----------------------------------

The journey for the Spirit Digidestined continued as their boat, the 50/50, made its way through the calm seas. The boat's destination is called the Howling Mountains.

The Digidestined were on deck with the boat's capitain, Gigachumon and looked bored as they were going through their 8th day on sea.

"Man, Gigachumon..." Takuya groaned. "How long have we got left...?"

Gigachumon stood at the steering wheel with a small table beside him that has a cup of tea on it with a map. The Ultimate Digimon picked the map up and looked through. "Well, let's see... Its kinda hard to see where we are, you guys."

"Whys that...?" Bokomon asked.

"We haven't seen land or other ships since we left the island where Phoenixmon and HerculesKabuterimon lived on so... I think we are lost." Gigachumon said, sadly.

"What?!" Koji gasped. "That means we can't stop this Digimon from using Valmarmon's powers!"

"Look at the bright side, at least he won't bring the Evil God back by using all 7 pieces because we have 4 of them." JP said.

"That doesn't help, JP." Tommy said, sitting on the floor and groaning.

Zoe walked over to the front of the boat and gasped. "Hey, you guys! There is something up ahead! Gigachumon, look!"

Ahead of the 50/50 was a strange valley with a gap wide enough for the boat to go through as the sea rushes through between them. Strangly, there weren't any rocks poking out of the sea that flow through the valley. Gigachumon looked at his map and scratched his head.

"Hmm... I wonder were we are now..." Gigachumon mumbled.

"Who cares as long as we have found land!" Takuya said, with a wide grin on his face.

"Sorry to break your joy, Takuya." Kouchi said, walking with Veemon and Patamon. "But, it looks like that land is just a valley."

"Which means no-one is living there." Veemon added.

"Ah, nuts!" Takuya pouted. "Oh well. Gigachumon, let's go through there!"

"Are you sure?" Gigachumon asked. "It looks too peaceful..."

"Whats bad about peaceful...?" Neemon asked.

Gigachumon sighed as he drove the ship towards the valley. "They say that things are not always they seem. I mean, this peaceful valley could be a trap..."

"Hes right, you guys." Koji said, walking up to his brother's side. "We better keep our eye out for anything that doesn't seem right."

Everyone else nodded as they entered the mysterious valley. For the first 5 minutes, everything seemed peaceful. That was until....

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Zoe yelled out as something, or someone, passed by in front of her.

"Zoe, whats the matter?!" JP said, running to the side of the Digidestined of Wind.

Zoe calmed down a bit and said. "Something flew in front of me."

"Where?!" Tommy asked, looking around the valley. "I can't see it.

"There!" Patamon said, flapping his wings away and pointing to a figure in the sky. "Look up there! We have a visitor!"

Everyone looked up to see a freaky worm-creature with spikes on the back and has a huge jaw with spiky teeth. (Like Steelix's jaw). It was soon joined up by 4 other creatures that looked like him and they started at the Digidestined.

"What.... are they...?" Kouchi said, eyeing the strange looking Digimon.

"It can't be...." Gigachumon said, in shock. "It just can't be.... Bladormon!"

"Bladormon!? What are Bladormon?!" Veemon asked.

***DIGIMON INFORMATION***

LEVEL:Champion.

ATTACKS:Death Bite/Chomp, Spiny Back

(Gigachumon) Bladormon are dangerous Digimon. Their Death Bite could destroy our boat in a matter of seconds! There is only one place where Bladormon live in and thats the Blador Valley!

*************************

"Blador Valley..." Bokomon gasped. "You mean, they are gonna attack US?!"

"If this is their home, I think SO!" Tommy said.

Gigachumon quickly looked at the map and gulped. "Yep... This is their home all right..."

"Everyone! We should evolve and protect the boat, as well as ourselves!" Takuya said, taking his D-Tector out of his pocket.

"This is weird..." Gigachumon mumbled as Koji, Kouchi, Tommy, Zoe and JP joined up with Takuya. "Bladormon aren't scared of anything except for one thing only. Ultimate Digimon, they are scared to face Ultimate Digimon. And I know that they know I'm a Ultimate."

"If they know you are an Ultimate, why aren't they scared?" Veemon asked.

Gigachumon's face paled. "Because... Oh no... This isn't good..."

"Whats wrong?" Patamon asked.

"Captains and sailors that came to Blador Valley always say that the Bladormon have got a leader. And I know who the leader is." Gigachumon said.

"Who is the leader?" Bokomon asked.

Before Gigachumon could say something, Neemon shouted out. "Hey, look! More Bladormon! And they shrunked as well." Neemon pointed to 6 small creatures that look like Bladormon except, they don't have big teeth.

"Er.... Gigachumon...? Do you know what they are...?" JP asked, turning to the paled Digimon.

Gigachumon nodded. "Yeah... DemiBladormon..."

***DIGIMON INFORMATION***

NAME:DemiBladormon.
LEVEL:Rookie.
TYPE:Virus.
Mutant Digimon.
ATTACKS:Demi-Chomp, Tiny-Spiny Back

(Jeri) They don't fight much but, it doesn't mean they attack with their Demi-Chomp attack. It won't kill you but, it will hurt you a bit. Digivolve into Bladormon. They also got a 'mother'

*************************

"DemiBladormon.... Bladormon brave to face against an Ultimate... I know what is gonna happen next!" Gigachumon said, darting his eyes around.

"What?! What?!" Takuya asked.

"The mother of the DemiBladormon!!!" Gigachumon said, looking up. "The Bladormon are not good protectors of ther DemiBladormon but, their mother ARE!"

"Their mother?!" Zoe gasped.

"Yeah... An Ultimate... The Bladormon gets brave when they face an Ultimate when THEY got an Ultimate at their side. And I know that if there is DemiBladormon here, their mother is nearby." Gigachumon said, gulping as he still stared upwards.

"Who is their 'mother' called, Gigachumon?" Tommy asked.

Gigachumon pointed to the sky. "She is up there."

The Digidestined looked upwards and gasped. There, hanging by 4 thick green vines was a red orb with a pink object underneath it.

Zoe finally found her words and said, calmly... "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING!?!?"

"QueenBladormon..." Gigachumon gulped.

***DIGIMON INFORMATION***

NAME:QueenBladormon.
LEVEL:Ultimate.
TYPE:Virus.
Mutant Digimon.
ATTACKS:Acid Bomb, Molten Blood

(Matt) Boy, this is kinda hard to explain... QueenBladormon doesn't look like Bladormon but, they can birth the DemiBladormon and protect her young with the Acid Bomb attack.

**************************

QueenBladormon made some strange noises that caused the Bladormon to snap at the boat.

"I think she is giving the order to attack us!" Koji said.

"Doesn't anyone got any bright ideas!?" Bokomon asked, in a panic.

"No... We don't..." Takuya said, keeping an eye on the Bladormon.

Neemon gulped. "We are doomed..."

Gigachumon gasped and turned to the Digidestined. "There IS a way! Get rid of QueenBladormon! If she goes, the Bladormon will lose their courage to face ME and run away!"

"Right! Me, JP and Zoe will deal with QueenBladormon while the others make sure the Bladormon don't attack the boat!" Takuya said. "Got it?"

"Got it!" The others said, nodding.

"Right!!!" Takuya said, pumping his fist into the air. "Let's do for it, you guys!"

"EXECUTE!!! BEAST SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!!" "BURNINGGREYMON!!!" "ZEPHYRMON!!!"

"EXECUTE!!! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!!" "BEETLEMON!!!" "LOBOMON!!!" "LOWEMON!!!" "KUMAMON!!!"

"You are not going without me!" Veemon said. *Veemon Digivolve to.....EXVEEMON!!!*

While Kumamon, Lowemon and Lobomon stayed behind on the 50/50 boat, the flying Digimon (Which are BurningGreymon, Zephyrmon, ExVeemon and Beetlemon) headed towards the QueenBladormon.

"Lobomon, make sure nothing happens to the boat!" BurningGreymon called out.

"No problem!" Lobomon replied, bringing out his light sabers. "I just wonder when they will start attacking the boat..."

A Bladormon roared as he opened his jaws and flew straight towards the side of the boat. "Feel the power of my jaws! Death Bite!!!"

"Oh, no you don't!" Patamon said, as he filled himself with air before firing it into a big airball. "Boom Bubble!!! Pah!"

The Bladormon stopped his attack as he felt the airball hitting this side of his face. "You will pay for that, weak creature."

"Patamon!!! Get out of there!!!" Bokomon cried out.

Kumamon came to Patamon's aid as the Bladormon opened his jaws to gobble the flying Rookie. "No way!!! Your not eating my friend here! Blizzard Blaster!!!"

The Bladormon gasped and flew away as Kumamon fired countless balls of snow from his pack blaster from his back. "I hate snow!!!"

Two Bladormon attacked the other side of the boat where Lobomon and Lowemon were waiting for them. "Death Bite!!!"

Lobomon used the gun that was on his right arm and fired a laser from it. "Howling Laser!!!"

The lion on Lowemon's chest opened its mouth to create a black orb. "Shadow Meteor!!!"

"Oh no..." The Bladormon said together as they were pushed back by the attacks from the Warriors of Light and Darkness. The groaned as they hit the side of the valley. "That hurts..."

The other Bladormon didn't want to fight after seeing what Lobomon, Kumamon and Lowemon did so, they backed away. They didn't noticed the 4 Digimon flying towards the QueenBladormon.

"Looks like Lobomon and the others are doing okay." Zephyrmon said, turning her head to see the Bladormon cowering from the boat. "50/50 is going to be all right."

"Thats great." Beetlemon said. "And look, we are almost nearer to our target."

ExVeemon frowned as they flew nearer to QueenBladormon. "This seems too easy..."

"I agree... Something isn't right..." BurningGreymon said, he turned his head to where the Bladormon are and noticed something wasn't right. "The DemiBladormon! They are missing!"

"No, they are not! Look!" Zephyrmon gasped as the DemiBladormon flew in front of the QueenBladormon in order to protect her. "This isn't good..."

"They are just Rookie Digimon!" Beetlemon said. "What can the worst happen?"

Suddenly, the QueenBladormon groaned and started to move about as some was forming in front of her. A small flash and 5 new born DemiBladormon were flying in front of her. Then, to the Digidestined's surprise, 5 of the DemiBladormon that was confronting BurningGreymon's group started to glow and covered in Digi-code before they become Bladormon.

"What... just happened?!" BurningGreymon asked out loud.

"It looks like this is how the Bladormon grow..." ExVeemon said, quickly understand what has happened. "Whenever the QueenBladormon births a number of new DemiBladormon, the same number that has already been born will Digivolve into Bladormon. Its a chain reaction!"

"Oh, just great..." Beetlemon sighed. "More Bladormon will show up when she increases the DemiBladormon population!"

"Me and Zephrymon will deal with the queen over there, you guys deal with the Bladormon!" BurningGreymon said.

"No problem!" ExVeemon said, as the x-mark on his chest glowed. "Let me just clear the way for ya. V-Laser!!!"

The DemiBladormon screamed and hid behind the QueenBladormon while the 5 newly-Digivolved Bladormon quickly moved out of ExVeemon's attack range. Beetlemon wasn't too far behind...

"Hey, you better watch out, creeps!" Beetlemon said, as he charged to a Bladormon with his electric-filled horn. "Lightning Blitz!!!"

BurningGreymon and Zephyrmon flew towards QueenBladormon, readying their attacks. QueenBladormon had other ideas because she fired her.. "Acid Bomb!!!"

"Whoa!!!" BurningGreymon said, as a red acidic ball fired from the mouth of QueenBladormon nearly hit him. He quickly moved out of the way and watched the Acid Bomb hitting a rock, melting it into nothingness. "That could have been ME!"

"WE gotta be careful... And attack NOW!" Zephyrmon said, throwing a gust of wind towards QueenBladormon. "Hurricane Gale!!!"

"Pyro Barrage!!!" BurningGreymon yelled, firing a barrage of fireballs onto the Ultimate Digimon.

Beetlemon was doing well against the Bladormon so, ExVeemon decided to help BurningGreymon and Zephyrmon by.... *ExVeemon Digivolve to..... PAILDRAMON!!!*

"Hey, you guys! Hold up!" Paildramon said, unleashing his attack from his hip-guns. "Hey, Queen! I've got a present for ya! Desperato Blaster!!!"

QueenBladormon grunted with each hut from Paildramon's attack. She opened her mouth again to fire some red liquid. "Molten Blood!"

"YIKES!!!" BurningGreymon, Zephyrmon and Paildramon said together as they moved out of the way of the Molteon Blood attack. They felt small pain as some of the stuff got to their wings and started to burn away.

"Man... For a queen, she is DEADLY!" BurningGreymon said.

Paildramon nodded. "Yeah... Listen, you guys. We have to do a full force on her before she makes more DemiBladormon otherwise, we will be outnumbered!"

"Right... And I have an idea." Zephyrmon said, grinning if you can see her mouth.

Back at the 50/50 boat, Gigachumon was able to drive the boat underneath QueenBladormon while she was dealing with three flying Digimon. He sighed as he looked up. "Man... No wonder Blador Valley is so dangerous... Why couldn't we turn back?"

"Because we don't have time to do that..." Lobomon said, walking over to Gigachumon. "We have to get to Howling Mountain without wasting time."

"We wasted ENOUGH time! We must leave this place NOW!" Lowemon added.

Kumamon looked up at the battle scene and sighed as Beetlemon flew up to them. "Beetlemon, why don't you help them?"

"Can't, Kumamon. MetalKabuterimon can't fly and it will be too heavy for the boat to carry." Beetlemon explained. "And besides, isn't 1 Ultimate and 2 Beast Warriors enough to bring down that freaky mother?"

"I think he is right..." Neemon said.

"You can think...?" Bokomon asked, shocked.

Back at the battle, Zephyrmon yelled out... "NOW!!!"

"Pyro Barrage!!!" BurningGreymon yelled out, firing massive fireballs onto the QueenBladormon.

"Desperato Blaster!!!" Paildramon yelled, unleashing his attack.

QueenBladormon screamed and Zephyrmon made her move by using... "Hurricane Gale!!!"

That did the trick as QueenBladormon's Digi-code started to revolve around her, screaming as she felt her code coming out.

"ZEPHYRMON!!! SLIDE-EVOLUTION!!! KAZEMON!!!" The Human Warrior of Wind, Kazemon, hovered in front of QueenBladormon, holding her D-Tector out. "I don't know what to say but, your heart is filled with evil. Let this Digivice purify your soul! Digi-code SCAN!!!"

QueenBladormon was no more and her Digiegg flew away. The remaining DemiBladormon and Bladormon flew away quickly and hid into small cracks on the side of the rocky valley. Everyone cheered as BurningGreymon, Kazemon and Paildramon rejoined them.

"Why didn't the Bladormon stopped them from hurting QueenBladormon?" Patamon asked.

"Maybe because they were ordered to attack them, not to protect her." Bokomon suggested. "Hmm, I'm betting the Bladormon have very tiny brains..."

"As tiny as mine?" Neemon asked.

"No... You still hold THAT record..." Bokomon said, sighing.

Kumamon picked up the map that Gigachumon dropped on the floor and gasped. "Hey! According to the map, we are not too far away from Howling Mountain!"

"So, we must be on the right track!" Kazemon said, as she landed onto the deck. "I bet going through Blador Valley wasn't a waste of time at all."

"Speak for yourself..." Lobomon said, looking out to sea. "I was wondering what was the point of that fight..."

"We had to protect ourselves, Lobomon." Lowemon said. "Besides, we have to get to Howling Mountain. And nothing will stop us from getting there!"

"Thats right." Beetlemon said, nodding.

Kumamon gave out a thumbs up. "We will get there because we are the Digidestined!"

"And the Legendary Warriors!" BurningGreymon added, as he flew above the ship with Paildramon.

"Now, Gigachumon! Onwards to Howling Mountain!" Paildramon said.

Gigachumon smiled. "Aye aye, sir!"

-----------------------------------------

At Holy Cathedral, His Holiness Zera walked down the streets that was clean and busy with activity. He sighed sadly as Velene and the Cathedral Knights couldn't find the missing Holy Beast Digimon when the Digidestined left. He gasped as he saw someone entering the city, carrying a limp figure. "It can't be.... Panzerdramon!?"

"Zera!!!" Panzerdramon called out. "We need to talk! Its about the upcoming Day of Evil!"

"Of course but... Who is that in your arms...?" Zera asked, running up to the Armoured Digimon.

"Dunno.... I found him in the forest attacked by Vilemon. He is hurt badly..." Panzerdramon explained, looking at the Digimon in his arms.

When Zera came close, he gasped at the figure. "I don't believe it..."

"Zera? Whats wrong? You know this guy?" Panzerdramon asked.

Zera nodded. "Of course... He is the leader of the Dragon Village... Raidramon..."

TO BE CONTINUED...

(Rika) Raidramon is still alive?! I can't believe it! How?! When!? And will the Digidestined finally arrive at Howling Mountain? We will find out in the future chapters of Digimon Frontier!

Heh... Wasn't expecting THAT ending, huh? Stay tune for the next chapter please.
