Leading to Victory
Steve stared at the ground in front of him. Mary was waving a hand in front of his face, but he wasn't responding. He just kept staring. The words echoed in his mind: Gone...He's gone...
Mary looked at Violet. She was typing away at her laptop, as was John. Each of them had taken up a particular task to do, as there were plenty of problems to solve. John was trying to track down Snowmon, whilst also keeping an eye out for the black dot that would represent their enemy, whilst Violet was trying to find out why Steve wasn't responding to anything.
Violet leant back and stretched, "Hey, Mary, I think I've found something."
Mary looked over the other girl's shoulder to see what looked like a Word document. She raised an eyebrow, "How does THAT help us?"
"Remember when our class split into pairs to research different things that happened to humans?"
Mary shuddered, "PLEASE don't remind me. I ended up with James and a project about making BABIES. That was one experience I'd rather forget."
Violet grinned. James (nicknamed `Pervy JimJams`) had an extremely obvious crush on Mary and a passion for any Digimon episodes where there were any hints about love. He was featured in every nightmare of Mary's. Violet turned back to the screen, "Well, I wasn't exactly thrilled to end up with Louise, but that's not the point. We were researching shock, and our project describes the same things that Blondie over there is doing."
"So it's just shock?"
"Wait a second, I just need to find all the different bits." Violet paused, "OK, I've done it."
"And?" Mary leaned closer.
"Back off a bit and I'll tell you. It says that `When a person loses something extremely close to them very suddenly, such as a lover or friend, they begin to feel extremely depressed. They are cut off from the outside world, and begin to simply stare at a certain thing. `"
"Like Steve?"
"Yep. All we can do is try to help him find Snowmon."
Mary sighed as she looked over at the boy. Mike had started playing a song that he had first heard on `Asterix Conquers America` on his flute. It was from the part when all the red Indians, Asterix, Obelix, and Getafix were dancing around the fire. It was called `We are One People`. As he reached the end, he stopped and looked at Steve. Mary smiled, "Talk about secret friendship!"
Violet grinned, "I just hope they can stop fighting WITHOUT the use of talking trees and DCs."
"Amen."
John looked at them, "D whats?"
Mary shook her head, "It's our nickname for that weird black cave Matt gets stuck in near the end Season 1."
John looked down again, "Oh, right. By the way, I just picked up some kind of digital disturbance."
Violet blinked, "Digital WHAT?"
"Digital disturbance. Something is gathering a great amount of digital energy, and is therefore causing various things to warp. In fact, there seems to be some kind of shockwave spreading across the area. It should reach us about...now."
Something invisible seemed to rush across the group, sending everyone and everything flying. The very air seemed to ripple, and the trees let out a loud groaning, as if something was trying to uproot them.
Eventually it disappeared. Violet slid down the tree trunk she had grabbed, Mary landed on top of Steve, and Mike and John ended up in a living ball. Pearlmon was clinging tightly to Violet's arm, Firepentmon had curled around a strong branch, and Mythicmon and Jewelmon flew to their separate digidestined.
Violet bit her lip, "Pearlmon, are you aware that your claws hurt?"
Her Digimon loosened her grip slightly, "Sorry. I just grabbed the closest thing, and that was your arm."
Violet gently removed the Digimon, placed her on the floor, and then began rubbing her arm where Pearlmon had been. Mary had leapt off Steve as though he was on fire, and was proceeding to turn a very impressive shade of red. Mike and John were trying to disentangle themselves, but weren't having much luck.
Mike called, "John, move your left leg."
John tried, "Can't. It's caught in something."
Like a good little girl, Violet walked over to help. She looked, and then she started laughing, "John...your leg's caught in...Mike's rucksack strap and...Mike's is in...your rucksack, on... top of your... computer!"
She continued laughing as she freed John's leg, and removed Mike's from it's temporary home. Mary was giggling hysterically and even Steve was grinning. Then his smile faded as a very familiar voice called, "Steve! Where are you? Help!"
He spun around. The voice was coming from the same place that the `digital disturbance` had come from (except that he didn't know that). Without waiting for the others, he took off through the trees with a speed that was seldom seen outside the podrace scene in Star Wars- Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. Mike was soon hot on his tail, with the girls and John panting behind him.
As they burst into a clearing, they were confronting by a red Digimon who looked like a relation of Emeraldmon and co. His claws were sharp, and his ears were like miniature dragon wings. His tail had three spikes at the end, and a fire seemed to move and swirl in his eyes. At the moment, his eyes were fixed on a familiar Digimon. Steve stepped forwards, "Snowmon!"
The red Digimon looked up, and a tongue like a snake's flicked out and in, "Do you seriously think you can save him? None have escaped me, Rubymon, the last of the Jewel Brothers. My Ruby Lava can eliminate enemies easily, and I am a loyal servant of Switchmon."
John blinked, "Who?" By way of answering, Rubymon growled threateningly. The boy gulped, and said, in a small voice, "Just asking, you don't have to answer."
Rubymon smiled, and then he turned towards Steve, "Ruby Lava!"
He spurted out a column of lava, with rubies glittering inside it. Mike leapt forwards and shoved his friend out of the way just in time. Rubymon frowned and tried again.
"Firepentmon digivolve to Serpentmon!"
The fire-snake Digimon whipped his tail out, curled it around the two boys, and brought them away from the lava. Then he grabbed Snowmon in the same way and deposited him by Steve. However, he squeezed a bit too hard, and Snowmon gave a short yelp. Then, something happened. His outline started flickering, and for a moment Serpentmon was clutching something black. A second later, Snowmon was back. Steve was the only one who had noticed.
Serpentmon wound himself around Rubymon, but the Digimon managed to slip out before his captor could begin to squeeze. He glared at the digidestined, but he knew that he was outnumbered. With a growl, he turned around and sped off, into the forest.
***********************************************************************
Switchmon chuckled to himself. These digidestined were so foolish. Why, he'd even gone back to his true form for a second, but none of them had noticed.
The Steve boy, however, was a different story. He would have to be careful what he said to him. The boy knew the Digimon he was impersonating better than any of them. But Switchmon was confident that he could deal with him, if he needed to.
***********************************************************************
What Switchmon didn't know was that it was too late for him. Steve had already noticed that there was something different about his Digimon. For starters, he hadn't digivolved when he was in trouble. Second, there was that black thing he had seen. He decided to give him one last test, though, just to make sure.
He stood up, "Hey, Snowmon, you want to help me catch some fish?"
His Digimon stood up, "OK. I'll make sure none of them get away."
"You're mad." Steve grinned. As they walked to the river, he realised something. The two of them had something in common. Each of them was hiding something important.
Steve looked into the water. Plenty of fish there. He looked across at Snowmon. The Digimon was staring into the water, and there was a look of fear on his face. Steve smiled and asked, as innocently as he could, "What's wrong?"
Snowmon's head shot up. His mouth moved, but no sound came out. Steve raised his eyebrows. Then a voice behind him said, "What's taking you guys so long?"
He spun around, expecting to see Violet, but instead it was Mary. He stood up, "I think it's a bit too late to start fishing. It always takes AGES for Snowmon to catch enough, anyway."
He mentally crossed his fingers. He didn't want to tell the others anything before he knew for sure. 'But what if I never know for sure? I've just got to risk it. If I don't, he could attack the orders. I'm meant to be the leader. I've got to take the responsibility.' As he walked back to the camp, he didn't notice his crest begin to glow.
***********************************************************************
Switchmon liked this body. It was well adapted for its environment. It was a pity that he couldn't swim. If he did, he'd immediately turn back into his true form. He sighed. As long as none of them either pushed him into water, or caused him enough pain for him to change back, he would be fine.
***********************************************************************
Violet swiftly cut through several fruit stalks with her sword. They fell from their tree, and clattered onto the ground. She looked up at Steve, "Are you going to sit down, or are you going to lean against that tree all night?"
Steve looked away from the stars he'd been watching, and looked around for Snowmon. Ah, there he was, under that tree. He walked over and then, without warning, firmly sat down on his Digimon. Mary leapt up, "Are you crazy?"
However, before he could answer, a black light surrounded Snowmon. He got off the Digimon, and the digidestined stared as the ball of black light rose into the air. Then the light faded, and Snowmon was gone. In his place was a large, black bat. Four red spikes stuck out from its head, one on the left, one on the right, one on the top left, the last on the top right. A gold jagged line came down its face, before splitting in two and ending at each of the eyes. Another one started on either of its wing, joined up whilst going down its body, then splitting again to get to each of the feet.
The bat thing frowned, "I can't believe you did that to your friend."
Steve glared back, "I did it because I knew that you weren't Snowmon. If you were, you'd have been in and out of that river in a second. I know you're not him, so where is he?"
"Do you know who I am?"
"I've got a good guess."
"Well, I'll tell you anyway. I am Switchmon, the commander of Trojan. My Bat Lightning may seem weak, but my true power lies in my ability to switch my shape into any I like."
Switchmon's gaze swept over the group. John, typing away. Mary, looking ready to scream. Violet, with one hand over Mary's mouth. Mike, clutching his digivice in one hand. And Steve...
The Digimon jerked as he noticed the golden light coming from his crest. He mustn't let it get any brighter. He gave an evil smile, "I'll make you a deal. I'll give you your Digimon if you give me your crest."
Steve raised a puzzled eyebrow, "My crest?"
"You know, that necklace thing you're wearing?"
The blonde looked down at it. Then his mouth fell open, "Hey, when did it start glowing?"
"Who cares? Isn't your Digimon more important?"
Steve narrowed his eyes, "How do I know that you'll hand over Snowmon?"
Switchmon shrugged, which was a very impressive achievement. After all, he didn't seem to have any shoulders, "Really, don't you trust me? But if it satisfies you..." He turned around, "Rubymon, bring him out!"
Steve frowned as he recognised the red Digimon. But it was holding a very familiar Digimon. His eyes widened, "Snowmon! What happened?"
His Digimon was covered in bruises and cuts, one of them going through his left eye and touching his fin. He looked a mess. Switchmon smiled, "See, here's your Digimon. Now, are you going to give me your crest or not?"
The rest of the group was stunned. They had no idea what they should do. After all, Steve had been the one who had led them. Now what should they do?
Steve looked from his Digimon, to his crest, then back again, 'The crest isn't going to help without Snowmon, but if Switchmon gets it, we're done for. Snowmon or my crest?'
He bit his lip, and then he looked up, "Alright. I'll swap."
Violet's mouth fell open, "WHAT?"
Switchmon gestured to Rubymon, "Give him his Digimon and get his crest."
Steve held out his crest and Rubymon took it, before dumping Snowmon at Steve's feet. Then Switchmon laughed, "That was too easy! Now I can destroy you all in one go!"
Steve picked up Snowmon and held him in his arms, "Snowmon, I'm sorry. Now we're all going to die because of me." The boy glanced up, "Switchmon, if you're going to destroy us, then kill me first. It's my fault, so just get it over with!"
Suddenly, the crest in Rubymon hands erupted with gold light. He screamed in pain, and then he dropped it. Switchmon tried to get to it, but a sphere of gold surrounded it, protecting it. He roared in frustration.
Then a beam of light shot from it and hit Snowmon. The Digimon opened his eyes, and felt his wounds heal, and his strength come back, "Snowmon digivolve to Icemon!"
The ice beast sprang forward and knocked Switchmon away. Then, very gently, he picked the crest up by the string in his mouth and walked back to Steve. The boy reached up, and carefully took it from his Digimon's teeth.
Switchmon swooped towards the Digimon, "Bat Lightning!"
The golden lightning bolts on his body glowed, and real lightning shot from them. Without thinking, Steve stepped in front of his Digimon. He wouldn't let his friend die, even if it meant sacrificing himself. Then, his crest glowed the brightest gold yet, and then Icemon followed suit.
"Icemon digivolve to Blizzardmon!"
His body became a much deeper blue, and small ice-crystals covered him. White triangles lined his back, with the same blue in the centre of them. When they got to the tail, another row appeared on the other side, as well as on his fins. At the end of his tail, five spikes spread out like fingers. Two fins were on his back, and another one was on his head. In front of the fins on his back, a pair of white wings grew, with dark-and- light blue feathers in them. However, they looked much smoother than any wings that the digidestined had seen before.
The Digimon bared his extremely white and scary teeth, "I am Blizzardmon, a Digimon who attacks with my Blizzard Triangle. If you think you can escape me underwater, guess again! My wings can fold along my back, and I am one of the most powerful swimmers in the Digiworld."
Switchmon gulped, "Now, let's just calm down. There no need to get violent."
Blizzardmon smiled, "Don't worry. I'll try not to make this too violent." The triangles all over his body began to glow, "Blizzard Triangle!"
Ice shot from all over him. Switchmon screamed, "NO!" Then the ice hit him.
Suddenly, a great wind, almost a hurricane, began to blow. The space around Switchmon began to swirl, and began to suck the closest things into it. "WHAT'S GOING ON?" Mary screamed.
"SWITCHMON MUST HAVE STORED UP DIGITAL ENERGY INSIDE HIM EVERY TIME HE SWITCHED HIS SHAPE! NOW HE'S GONE, IT'S ALL COMING OUT AT ONCE! THIS PLACE CAN'T TAKE IT!" John shouted back.
Rubymon was dragged, screaming, into the portal. Then Steve felt himself being sucked in too. Blizzardmon grabbed his T-shirt in his teeth, but it ripped, and the two of them disappeared into the opening. Then its outline wavered, and then it vanished.
WHAT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PORTAL? AND WILL STEVE AND BLIZZARDMON EVER RETURN TO THE DIGIWORLD? FIND OUT ON THE NEXT DIGIMON: DIGITAL MONSTERS!
Author's Note: Hmm...Interesting ending. Oh, and I'm not sure if that theory about shock is right. It's one of my `I'll-prove-I'm-smart` things. Ignore, unless you know a doctor and can ask him if that really happens. If it doesn't, I stand corrected. And also: Jewel Brothers? Proof that I have been thinking WAY too much.
And there you have it! The first of their Digimon to go Ultimate! And guys, you're really going to have to wait soon for episodes, because there's only two more left that I've finished. Unless I finish the current one soon, and that'll only happen thanks to a blinkin' miracle...

And there you have it! The first of their Digimon to go Ultimate! And guys, you're really going to have to wait soon for episodes, because there's only two more left that I've finished. Unless I finish the current one soon, and that'll only happen thanks to a blinkin' miracle...
