Digimon: The Matrix Saga Chap.6
Vengance is sweet, but death is sweeter!


James and Monodramon had been exploring all the Digital World's sights, at least the ones they could see. James was not even getting the least bit tired. Soon, they came across a river to rest. As they rested, James inspected his digital watch. But that is not what he really wanted to be thinking about.
"Ummm, Monodramon?" asked the boy as he sat on a rock. "I somewhat understand the creation of you digimon, but what of this world you call the Digital World? How was it born?"
"Well you see, James," began the rookie digimon. "In your world, the Real World, the very first computers that were ever created, ENIAC and ABC, had somehow come together and created a network full of not just one Digital World, but MANY Digital Worlds! So this world that you are in now, is just one of the many others. Of course this has happened long after your time, 1805 was it?"
"Yes. I think I understand, but what is this 'computer' you speak of?"
"Well a computer is basically a type writer, with a box having a glass window on it. Picture it that way."
"What does it do?"
Monodramon kicked back to relax. He was enjoying this. Talking to a new friend, laying next to a nice relaxing river, and listening to the cool breeze. "Well it can be used for many purposes. Like typing things and storing them in the computer. And also storing lots of other various data that has been collected. You can play games, or simply talk to friends from around the world!"
"Wow!" exclaimed James. "This computer as you call it sounds positively grand! But the only bad thing is that I will not be around to see these marvelous devices."
"But there are plenty of computers here in the Digital World! I can help you find one!" Monodramon then stood up stretching. "In fact we could go find one now!"
"Really! Just grand! Well what are we waiting for? Let us go!"
Soon both of them began walking down along side of the river, James right behind Monodramon. But as they continued walking, they saw their reflection in the water. But something was strange. There was an extra body in that relfection.
They turned around, only to see a small furry ferret digimon.
"Ummmm, hi," said James. "Can we help you?"
"Are you James and Monodramon?" asked the digimon.
"Yeah, why?" asked Monodramon curiously.
"Well your friends are in the Gekomon Village and they are fighting a very strong digimon and need your help!"
"Really!" exclaimed James. "Monodramon we have to go help!"
"Yes we do, but how do you know this, ummmm. I didn't catch your name."
"The name's Prairiemon and I was at the village when your friends were attacked, then they asked me to go find a boy and a purple dragon digimon named James and Monodramon. Now quickly!" said the digimon as he then ran off.
"I'm very sorry, James," began Monodramon. "But we will have to find the computer later."
"It is okay. Our friends need us. That is all that matters. Now let's go!"
Then the two took off towards the Gekomon Village.
As they left, Prairiemon came back and took out a bag of coins and rubbed his face against it. "Man money never felt so good!"

Later......

After running to there hearts content, the two had finally made it to the Gekomon Village. But they looked around. All they saw were Gekomon, of course, and houses. No Gouji. No Elise. Nor Kokuwamon or Floramon.
"Something is not right!" said Monodramon.
"Where are they?"
Then the two turned, as they heard the sound of wings buzzing and feet hitting the ground madly! Right then, out from the bushes popped out Gouji and Kokuwamon.
"James!?" exclaimed Gouji.
"Gouji!?" exclaimed James. Yes they were both surprised to see eachother unhurt. "Someone told me that you were in trouble."
"And someone told us that you all were in danger!" said Kokuwamon to Monodramon.
Then arrived Elise and Floramon. "You guys... are okay? What's going on here?"
"Did a small ferret-face weasel send you guys here?" asked Gouji, with his fists clenched.
"Ummmmm, yeah," answered James.
"Surely you can't be talking about Prairiemon? Are you?" asked Elise in disbelief. "You think he is up to this?"
"WELCOME, DIGI BRATS!" called a very familiar voice. Everyone turned to look up a tree, and saw none other than Prairiemon himself.
"I thought I smelled a rat!" shouted an angry Gouji.
"I am so hurt by that, kid," said the ferret like digimon. "Why, now I feel just so terrible about not trying harder to kill you guys! I mean, the Tyrannomon and Mekanorimon Gang should have done the job, but I guess help is so hard to find!"
"You mean you sent those guys after us?" shouted Floramon.
"You dirty little liar!" screamed Elise.
"But how else would I get rid of you guys, so my boss could have James and the purple dough dragon to himself? But since that didn't work, I thought I'd just get all of you together!"
"Why does your boss want us!?" asked Monodramon.
"For...." began Prairiemon, as he was soon cut off by another voice.
"REVENGE!" As this voice said ths, a tall champion digimon came onto the tree. He was wearing a cloak. But then soon removed it, revealing his true self. Everyone, except Prairiemon, was shocked to see who it was.
"Presenting the all mighty..... OGREMON!"
"It's another Ogremon," said Elise. "But what did it mean by 'revenge'?"
"I really can't believe you have forgotten me so quickly! It was just, what, yesterday or so when I was gaurding you captives in the corner of the cave?" said the Ogremon.
Floramon then realized what he meant. "Your Shamanmon!"
"Exactly! After you guys destroyed my fellow partners, I was left alone. I had no one or nothing to help, except my burning intentions of revenge! That is when I trained and trained, load all the data of any digimon I came across. That is when I ordered Prairiemon to go find you three, exterminate the others, and leave James and Monodramon to me!" He then turned to Prairiemon. "I have no use for you anymore, so....." He raised his club and brought it down with a mighty slam! Luckily, he jumped out of the way in time to avoid it.
"HEY! Why you trying to turn me into rug!?" asked the digimon.
"Because you are no longer needed!"
Then Gouji grabbed the weasel by the neck. "You shouldn't have moved, because then you wouldn't haven't to worry about me!"
"Let him go, Gouji!" ordered James.
"What?"
"Yes, let him go. He deserves that, but it wouldn't make more sense to kill more digimon, now would it?"
"I guess you're right. Well get out of here and don't ever let me see you again, or else I'll be wearing you on my feet!"
He dropped Prairiemon and then he ran off into the woods.
"NOW LET'S SETTLE THIS!" Ogremon leaped off of the tree branch and readied his bone club for attack!
"Go! Floramon!" shouted Elise as she lifted he arm and pressed a button on her watch. Soon a ball of light had engulfed her wrist and came towards her digimon.
"FLORAMON! CROSS DIGIVOLVE TOOO......... VELOCIMON!"
Velocimon leaped for Ogremon and blocked his attack with her pointy long tail. He continued jabbing her with his club, and she blocked them all with her tail. It was soon getting exhausting. Ogremon took advantage of this and struck her with his big powerful fist!
WAM! She went craching into a Gekomon's home.
"Velocimon!" Elise called as she ran for her partner.
"Your turn Kokuwamon!" Gouji then pressed a button on his watch and a ball of light engulfed his too.
"KOKUWAMON! CROSS DIGIVOLVE TOOOO...... BEETMON! Scarab Gunfire!" he shouted as many blasts in the shaped of scarab beetles came towards Ogremon. He reflected all of them off his skin!
"Time to squash this bug!" Ogremon leaped and stepped hard on Beetmon's head, then kicked him into another house.
"Beetmon! We have to move the fight! Fly him away from here!"
Beetmon got up and picked Ogremon up. He struggled to break free, but it wasn't really helping. The two flew far from the village, and Velocimon and Elise ran right behind them.
Beetmon through the enemy down onto the ground and began firing more and more attacks. But Ogremon kept throwing them back at him. Velocimon came through and hit him with a Veloci Rapture attack, but it just didn't work.
"HA! Now let me show you an attack I taught myself as I trained!" Soon his muscles began to bulge, and then they shrunk back to there normal size, as a wierd vapor had come from his pores. "BIO HAZARD!" Soon the vapor was every where. It smelt terrible, not only that but it was toxic! Everyone began to cough and cough, and the two champion digimon then de-digivolved. "HA!"
But then, a shadowy figure could be seen by Ogremon. It was tall, and another figure could be seen with it.
"CRISS CROSS CRASH!" shouted the figure as a ray came to Ogremon.
"About time, Gigararumon," said Ogremon as he identified the digimon. "Now let's finish this!"
"Get him, Gigararumon!" ordered James. Although he really didn't want to hurt the Ogremon, he left him with no choice. He hurt all his friends, now he must pay! Vapor from the last BioHazard attack was still in the air. It was like fog was around them. This made things a little harder to see.
"Pummle Wack!" shouted Ogremon as he hit Gigararumon with the bone club.
WAM! The champion digimon went flying back into a tree. Ogremon leaped for Gigararumon, with another Pummle Wack attack, but the digimon would not let this happen. He lifted his fist up and with all his might, he smashed his fist against his face, and sent this foul digimon flying backwards into a nearby lake. The digimon sank into the water.
Gigararumon stood up and walked cautiously towards the lake. He looked in the water, and saw his reflection. He thought it was over, but then his reflection changed into the face of..... Ogremon!
His hand came out of the water and grabbed Gigararumon and pulled him into the lake. Ogremon stuck his head, and kept his hand on Gigararumon's head, trying to drown him.
"I want you to suffer! Suffer for all the pain you have caused me!"
Ogremon's opponent continued to struggle from in the water trying to get air.
"NO! GIGARARUMON!" shouted James as he ran for his partner. But Ogremon wouldn't allow this. He opened his mouth and readied another attack.
"BioHazard!" as he said this, a blast of more gas came from his mouth and hit James. The poor boy began to cough and choke.
Can't *cough* breathe! Can't *cough* see! *cough cough*. No! *cough* James fell to his knees and then on his stomach. He was out like the others.
There only hope was Gigararumon as he tried to keep struggling to reach the top, but soon, he noticed that his arm began to stop moving, and turned a funny dirty brown color. He was rusting. His whole body began to rust as he lost his last breath of air. He was out.
"Yes!" shouted Ogremon as he leaped in the air and landed on the ground. "I have finally avenged my fellow comrades. Vengance is sweet!"
But Ogremon should've waited to cheer, because then he noticed James began to twitch.
"Huh? No! You should be dead!"
James slowly arose, staggering as he stood. He looked at Ogremon's eyes. Then Ogremon looked and saw the other humans begining to come to. They all stood up surrounding the foe. They lifted there watches in the air, and then a light ignoted from it! This light touched there digimon, and regained there health. Kokuwamon and Floramon stood up, full of energy. And then Monodramon walked out of the lake.
"But how can you still be alive?" exclaimed Ogremon in disbelief.
How could this be? They should have been finished! The whole team surrounded Ogremon together.
"What keeps you going, Ogremon, is your burning thoughts of hatred and revenge!" said James. "What keeps us going.... is our burning thoughts of friendship! You can't beat that!"
No this can't be! I should be winning! Now my fight was in veign! "Well go ahead and finish me off!" Ogremon shouted. "Go ahead! At least when I die, I die, with honor! Knowing that I at least tried to avenge my comrades."
Then James began to calm down. He looked at Ogremon. He was not really the enemy, for none of this would have happened if James hadn't of killed off his tribe. This but killing more wouldn't make things better. Would it?
"Leave him," said James, finally having an answer. "He doesn't deserve to die like this. We shouldn't be killing him. He should be killing us, but we are not going to let him do that. So we should just leave him be."
The group was confused by this. Especially Ogremon.
"What are you doing!?" asked Ogremon. "You are supposed to finish me off!"
Everyone turned around and walked off.
"COME BACK HERE!" shouted the angered digimon. "This is not how it is supposed to happen! Either finish me off or I'll finish you off!"
The group continued walking away.
"THIS IS NOT OVER! DO YOU HERE ME! I WILL HAVE VENGENCE!"

Later.....

AS the group the finally joined back up, they began walking down the forest and finally made it out. But as they made it out, someone showed up in front of them. It was none other than Prairiemon.
"What did I say, Ferret-face?" asked Gouji.
"Calm down," said Elise. "He couldn't really help himself."
"Yeah, what she said!" replied Prairiemon.
"Well what do you want?" asked James.
"Well I felt really really bad about what I did to you guys, and I wanted to thank you for letting me go back there."
"Well your welcome," said Kokuwamon. "Now leave."
"No wait! I wanted to also know if, well, I can hang out with you guys. You know, to be your guide."
"That's why they have us," said Monodramon.
"Yeah," said Floramon.
"OH PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEEEAAASSSE!?" His eyes turned all googley.
"Hmmmm, well I do belive in forgiving people. So I guess it is okay," said James.
"But make any mistakes!" said Gouji, who still didn't like the digimon very much. "You mess up, and you are gone. Got it?"
Prairiemon then scurried itself up to Gouji's shoulders and slung itself around his neck. "No problem, Gouji."
"Whatever."
"Well where to next?" asked Elise.
No one knew where to go. They were tired and starving.
"Let's make camp out here!"
Everyone agreed and began to fix things up.
