Digimon: The Matrix Saga Chap.3
Criss Cross Crisis!

"MONODRAMON! CROSS DIGIVOLVE TOOOO...... GIGARARUMON!"
As the purple Digi-Core fused the small digimon, a digivolution was spurred. He grew bigger and bigger until he was a few inches taller than Ogremon. Monodramon, or Gigararumon, was a metalic like digimon with really big arms. They were arms like the robot from Big-O.
"Gi-gi-ga-raru-mon?" was the only words James got to managed to get out. He was now a very old man. Looking very sickly at that.
"Gigararumon huh?" said the Ogremon as he stared at the metal digimon. "You don't scare me!"
"I don't huh? Well how about now!?" Gigararumon exclaimed as he raised his fist and slammed it hard across his face.
The Ogremon went flying all the way across the factory and into a wall. He looked out cold.
"James! JAMES!" screamed Gigiararumon as he ran for the boy. He picked him up and noticed he wasn't a boy. Monodramon knew what was happening to him.
"HEY YOU!" called a voice.
"Huh?" Gigararumon turned his head to see who was calling. But soon his head was turned back the other way, as a huge bone club hit his face.
WAM! went the newly digivolved digimon as he dropped James and hit a big tub of some liquid. The liquid fell all over the floor. Gigiararumon got back up and leaped for Ogremon. As he left, he did not notice the liquid eating throught the floor and everything else in its path, and it was headed for James!
"Giga Fist!" he shouted as his fist came speeding toward Ogremon. But the attack was blocked by the bone club.
Both Champion digimon pushed as hard as they could to knock the other one out. But Gigiararumon pushed harder and with that force, he broke the club.
"Oh no!" screamed Ogremon. He backed and continued backing up. Gigararumon cocked back his fist, to knock the living daylights out of Ogremon but then the enemy pointed out something that totally caught him by surprise.
"While you're over here, trying to kill me, your little human friend over there is getting older and older, and almost gonna get eaten by the acid!"
The champion digimon looked back and saw James lying there, and the acid getting closer. And closer.
He didn't know what to do: Save James and let Ogremon get away, or defeat this digimon and let his newly found friend die?
"So what's it gonna be?" he asked.
Gigararumon looked at the Ogremon. He knew what to do. Soon, his arms had came to his back and connected. Then they were brought over his head to his front, and next they were formed into a sort of cannon. The cannon was ready to fire. Ogremon looked totally caught by surprise by this.
"GIGA BLASTER!"
The cannon fired a powerful blast of energy at Ogremon. He tried to avoid it by running, but he wasn't quick enough. He was hit! But then the impact of the blast had sent Gigararumon flying backwards toward James. He fixed his arms into there correct position and picked up James just in time before the acid had touched him.
The Ogremon went flying into an electric power box, and was electricuted beyond belief! But soon this electicution spurred a chain reaction that caused the whole factory to begin to break down, until it began to explode!
Luckily Gigararumon made it out just in time with James in his arms. As he looked back, he saw the last of the factory, and the last of the Ogremon. But then he caught a glimpse of the sky. It was almost sundown.
"It's not over yet," he said.

Meanwhile....

The captives noticed that it was getting closer to sundown. But lucky for them, the Ogremon were still arguing over who to eat first.
"Man," whispered Gouji. "I had no idea that they were this slow."
"Yeah," said Elise. "They're nothing like the ones off of the show."
"Quiet you two," whispered Kokuwamon. "This is getting good."
"Wait!" shouted the lead Ogremon. "There are four of us, and four of them! Let us each eat one."
"Good idea boss! You are so smart!" they all said.
"So much for your idea, Gouji," said Kokuwamon.
"Hey it lasted us this long!" Then he got another idea. "Hey! What about Shamanmon? What is he going to get?"
Then once again, another argument broke out.
"Wow Gouji. Who'd thought that would have worked a second time," said Elise.
"Yeah I'm so smart. I should deserve a kiss. How about?"
"How about knock you in the kisser?"
"Nevermind."

Meanwhile....

James opened his eyes and saw himself lying on the ground in the woods. He looked around and then looked into the sky. It was getting darker. Then he looked at himself and noticed that he was young again. He was begining to wonder if what had happened in that factory.... was nothing more than a dream. But then he saw a tall digimon walk next to him and sit down. It was Gigararumon.
"So it wasn't a dream," he said.
"Nope."
"Well then why was I getting old, and then young again?"
"That was the effect of Machine City. Once you walk into that City, you get caught in its flow of time. Since time moves faster in that part of the Digital World, once you stepped in, you began to grow really fast."
"Why is like that?"
Gigararumon looked at James and then pointed to his stomach. James could see a small purple orb in there.
"Its because of this. The Warp Digi-Core. That's why we came to Machine City. To find this."
"Why?"
"Ummmm, because... I needed it to digivolve." Even though that wasn't the real reason why he had them go there to retrieve this, he had to make up something.
"digivolve? You said that before, but what does it mean again? Do you just get stronger and stronger and grow? Like how a baby soon grows into an adult?"
"Umm yea I guess you could put it like that."
"Well, anyways, why are we here? Don't we have to save the others?"
"Yeah. I was just waiting for you to get better. Now we can...."
Soon, Gigararumon began to glow and shrink. It soon became Monodramon again.
"What the..." exclaimed James. But then right after that, James time clock that he always carried on his waist, began to glow and morphed into a digital like watch. "What is this?"
"For once, James," said Monodramon. "I don't know."
As they looked at the watch they did not notice a glowing fairy like creature flying away. "And I lost all my power! I'm back to normal."
"You can still digivolve, can't you?"
"Yeah, but it might be difficult."
"Oh well. As long as you can. Now let's go find the others."
"But I lost the scent of the Ogremon. Now I can't find them. But wait! The goggles! We can use those!"
Soon Monodramon took the goggles and began sniffing around. James stood up and put the watch on. He then followed Monodramon.

Later....

It was now dark, and the Ogremon were still arguing. But then all of a sudden, there arguing stopped. They looked at their prisoners.
"I have another idea: Lets just eat them. Most likely they will fill us all up!"
Quickly they all agreed. Then the Ogremon, including the Shamanmon, surrounded them.
"IT's DINNER TIME!"
"Gouji! Don't you have some smart diversion!?" squeeled Elise.
"Come on Floramon!" shouted Kokuwamon. "Let's help them!"
"Right!"
Kokuwamon and Floramon stood still, holding there ground. The Ogremon began to chuckle. They were ready now.
"Hey uglies!" shouted a voice from behind. Everyone looked and saw a purple dragon like digimon and a boy.
"James and Monodramon made it!" they shouted.
"But what about Verde?" asked the lead Ogremon, refering to the Ogremon he sent after them.
"Oh him? He actually thought he could beat us! Boy did he get a shock!" joked Monodramon.
"GRRRRR! Let's get him!" shouted the Ogremon.
"Alright! Monodramon! Cross Digivolve toooo..... ummm, Mono-dramon?"
Monodramon was wondering why he didn't digivolve. Then he looked at James wrist.
"JAMES! THE WATCH! That must be it!" Monodramon shouted. "activate the...."
WAM! Monodramon was hit to the ground by the lead Ogremon.
"Activate what!?" called James. He looked at the watch.
"NOW FOR YOU!"
"NO!" James hastily pressed a button on the watch. When he pressed it he looked at the Ogremon. They were somewhat frozen. Although they still moved a little bit, they moved very very slow.
James didn't know what he did, but he was glad. Until he noticed that the others were frozen too. Except Monodramon.
"Monodramon! What happened?"
"I don't know. But the Ogremon are starting to move again! Press another button!"
But James didn't do it in time. The Ogremon began moving again and the bone club they carried came close to hitting James, but then Monodramon leaped in the air and pressed a button on the watch. Monodramon then began to glow!
"MONODRAMON CROSS DIGIVOLVE TOOO...... GIGARARUMON!"
Gigararumon was here again. Then he ran passed the Ogremon and grabbed the others.
"Monodramon?" they all said. Then he turned around and leaped for James and jumped out the cave. But before that, he turned and shot a ray of energy.
"CRISS CROSS CRASH!" The energy blast hit the Ogremon and then the cave exploded in a huge explosion!

"WOW!" exclaimed the others. "That was amazing!"
"Yeah I guess it was," said James. "Oh yes here goes your goggles."
"Oh," said Elise. "You know what. You can keep them. They look like they suit you more than me."
"Thanks."
"But how did you digivolve, Monodramon?" asked Kokuwamon and Floramon.
"I used the Warp-Digicore."
"Oh. Well does that mean we can use them too?"
"I guess so."
"Hey! I want to see this Warp-Digicore!" said Gouji. Then he looked at Kokuwamon. "Do you know where the others are?"
"Of course."
"Well then lets go find them!"
"What about us?" asked Elise.
"Don't worry," said Floramon. "I know where there is one. We can go find them ourselves. Let's go."
"Okay well see you guys later!"
"Same here."
Then the gang split up. Elise and Floramon went to go find there Warp-Digicores, while Gouji and Kokuwamon went to go find theirs. And James and Monodramon went off to go explore. James wanted know more about this world as much as he could.
