CHAPTER 24: CONCHMON! THE NOMAD DIGIMON OF WATER!!

Koji wwoke with a start, they were in a forest, "What was that?" he turned and saw Kouichi wake as well, "I heard a rustle in the bushes!" Kouichi looked at him, "Well, I didnt hear it, but...which way did it come from?" Izumi sat up, and yelled towards them, "Will you guys keep it down, some of us are trying to sleep!" Koji looked downward, "Sorry Izumi." he looked towards Kouichi quickly, and then, layed back down.

Early the next morning, gabumon shook all of them awake, and was trying hard on Junpei, "Awake you bafoon! It is time to go! Up up up!" Junpei just snored and rolled on top of him, "Mff Mff Hmm Hmmf!" Gabumon was trying to speak under him, and then, Izumi Kicked him hard in the back side, "Get up!" he jumped up, and started to rub his bottom and gabumon popped up breathing heavily, "Ahh! I couldnt breath, I thought I would surely die!!" Jupei said "Sorry." and the digimon digivolved, and they set off once more, "Where are we going?" Izumi asked palmon while on top of greymon, "Towards the mountains, that is where siremon was last seen, you will probably be first to get you Soul Stone..." Izumi smiled, and looked off in the direction they were headed, the mountains were some way off, though the outlines were rather thick over the trees, it would be at least another three and a half days to get there.

Riding garurumon, Koji turned back to Kouichi, and smiled, "Nice ride huh?" Kouichi laughed, "You could say that!" Koji was near turned around, when something caught his eye, a dark shadow was traveling beside them, he looked closer at it, and it dissapeared, then, Kouichi let out a loud grunt, and fell over, and garurumoon stopped quick, and slid around, calling out, "Ones down!" they all gathered, and Koji hopped of garurumon to run towards Kouichi, he leaned over, and kouichi got up with his head down, Koji walked towards him cautiously, "Are you okay?" Kouichi popped his head up, and lunged at Koji, his eyes were glowing red for a split second, but they dissapeared, and he had a blank stare as he fell onto Koji, who caught him as his wieght gave and he went unconcious for about two seconds, and when he wooke up, he stood, and thanked Koji, garurumon stared at him, "Do you need a rest?" Kouichi looked up, "No thank you." he said with a smile, and climbed back, on, things went on as usual after that.

The next night of sleeping, Koji was staying watch, and leaned against a tree, unaware of the red eyes stareing at him from the shadows, he looked into the fire, and stared hard at it, then, heard a light foot step, and grabbed a stick he had picked up, and pointed it into the shadow, he looked all over, but every one was asleep and he could see nothing else, he walked towards the fire, and grabbed a thick stick from it, and started to walk into the shadows of the forest, he looked around and could see nothing, he kept going, and heard a twig snap behind him, he turned and pointed the stick at who ever it was, with the light the soft embers supplied him, he could make out the outlines of a small creature, he walked towards it, and agumon appeared, agumon laughed nervously, "Hi..."

Koji and agumon now walked through the forest, and the light on Kojis stick was going out, so, agumon jumped into a tre and latched onto a thick branch, and started to bounce, and when it snapped, he fell to the ground, he held out the thick end and blew a very light flame at it, the stick came ableaze, and he gave it to Koji, who discarded his current one, they kept walking, and soon, saw a dim blue light ahead, Koji walked forward, and when he turned the corner, and saw a small lake where he stood, he stuck the torch he held into the ground, and walked forward, agumon followed him suspiciously, "Hello" a strange voice whispered in the darkness, "Welcome to my home, the ever moving Lake of Mystery..." Koji looked all over, but could not see what was taking to him, them, the water rumbled, and out came a poit of rock upon which stood a strange digimon and the pillar stood maybe ten feet from the top of the water, and the digimon jumped up and landed next to Koji on the shore.

The digimon has a horn on its head, which was covered by a sort of shell that was two parts ending at about mid way down his head, andwas around one big eye, and under the eye was dark wrinkled grey skin and a long thin mouth full of small sharp teeth, it has a slender neck, of the same skin, and its body is covered with a shell like covering of eight parts(The chest and abdomen muscles)and left the sides of the digimon open, it has large shoulder blades of thorny shell, and srustacean arms with joints and ending in two claws, which were very bulky and strong, its legs are short and covered with shell like armor, the top part is covering the front only, while the knee down is all the way around, and it has boots with thick tips. Covering its back is a thick shell, that goes out into a tail.

Koji looked at him, and the digimon smiled, "Conchmon at your service! Well, I must admit, I am not at your service, but at my own...but that is beside the point...why are you in my home?" Koji smiled, "I heard a noise..." agumon laughed apoligetically, "I saw him leave and followed..." conchmon looked at them both, "I dont like trespassers." he leaned in at them, and growled, "But, I will let you go, but first, tell me something." Koji looked at him ard, "Anything." conchmon smiled, "Why are you out in this forest anyways, huh?" Koji spoke, "We are looking to destroy the Nomadic Digimon that have been awakened." Conchmon let out a loud laugh, "HA! Good job! Good job indeed. I heard of you, but let me tell you something, those old nomads wont give you a brake, you gotta be strong to beat them...can you?" Koji smiled, "I think so." conchmon laughed again, "Hehe...then prove it." Koji turned at agumon, and then at conchmon, "What are you talking about?" conchmon smiled, "Well, I am a nomad and I aim to kill you! What a coincidence, huh?" he started to laugh, and Koji seemed angry, "If my friends were here, you wouldnt be laughing so hard!" conchmon pointed directly behind Koji, "Those friends you mean? Trust me, even with their help you would be no match for me." Koji turned and saw that Junpei Izumi Kouichi gabumon armadillomon and palmon were all tied to trees directly behind him, he turned back to conchmon, "How did you do that?" conchmon laughed once more, "Not how I did it, you wonder, but how to get them free? Well, trust me, it is no easy task, not with my friends!" ten tiny scubamon showed up in front of them, "Now my minions, this small boy and his digimon friend are boasting about killing us...prove them wrong!"

The scubamon ran at them, and agumon called out, "Pepper Breath! Pepper Breath!" he hit two of them, and they each fell to the ground, and ran in to the water with flames riding up their backs, the others came up more cautiously, and Koji yelled at agumon, "Well, what are you waiting for? Digivolve!" agumon agreed, "Agumon digivolve to...greymon!" Nova Blast!" he got five more with the one hit and the others started to run, then, "Gabumon digivolve to..." "Palmon digivolve to..." "Armadillomon digivolve to..." "Garrurumon!" "Togemon!" "Ankylomon!" and garurumon ran at one of the scubamon, pounced on him, and threw him into the lake, Togemon picked one up, and pressed it against her(?) body, and it jumped ten feet into the air, and into the lake, ankylomon brought back his tail, and swung the last one in.

Conchmon laughed, and spoke, "Well, the little ones hold a small talent...had to see it for myself, but digivolve agin if you must, I know that is not all you have!" greymon ankylomon and garurumon turned bake to rookies, and togemon digivolved into "Lilymon!" then, "Wargreymon!" "Metalgarurumon!" and "Drillmon!" appeared, conchmon became very serious all of a sudden, "Well, I guess you can hold yourselves up aginst a powerful foe...But you should never attack some one in thier territory, it is always in their favor!" he ran at them, and the battle began, he leapt up, and metalgarurumon fired some missles at him, which he swapped with his tail, then, landed on his head, forcing metalgarurumon on the ground, and lilymon shot her attack at him, and he was hit , and fell back, he rolled back, and got up, he opened his big claws, and called out, "Crab Missles!" and many tiny missles in the shape of crabs flew out, and twisted in all directions, they each went after a different enemy. They all hit thier designated targets, and created small explosions.

The digimon got up and faced conchmon, wargreymon rushed in at him, along with metalgarurumon, and they attacked, conchmon evaded most of the onslaught, and then, wargreymon started to twist. An orange twister surrounded him, and he flew at conchmon, who ran towards it, he jumped up over him, and was hit out of the sky by missles shot by metalgarurumon and drillmon, then, lilymon flew up, and called out, "Flower Cannon!" the beam shot down at him, and he was engulfed by the explosion, war greymons twister grew tall and thin, and created an arch and went into the dust flying from the attacks, and the dust flew out in different directions, and chonchmon was hit square in the chest by the twister.

All the digimon surrounded the enemy as he got up, and turned to see them all, "Blurred Sight!" Conchmon called out as his eye started to glow bright blue, and wargreymon, metalgarurumon, lillymon, and drillmon as well as the kids all closed thier eyes, and when they opened them, they saw a blurry blue field around them, they saw nothing at all except blurry shadows(Think LOTR movies when Frodo puts on the ring, in blue) the looked around, and could see nothing at all.

Wargreymon looked around him, he saw a bright blue light come and go, he turned and saw a shadow, he walked towards it and it moved to the side, and he saw a tiny flash hit it, and it fell down, he heard a couple of muffled screams, then, he flew up, and kept his eyes alert, and then, he heard a muffled voice behind him, "Crab Missles....!" he turned, but too late, the tiny explosives hit him, he let out a grunt, fell down, and hit the ground hard, and everything cleared up, he got up, and looked out, and could just see the feet of conchmon go under the water of the lake. he got up slowly, and wobbled a bit, he saw the other digimon around him, drillmon was laying down, lilymon was getting up slowly, and metalgarurumon was running at the lake, in hopes of catching conchmon, and wargreymon dedigivolved, he ran over to drillmon, "Are you okay?" drillmon opened his eyes weakly, and dedigivolved, "What happened?"

They all got up, and the kids were all tied by vines to trees, armadillomon ran to Koji, "You okay?" Koji looked up, "Help me out armadillomon." he got down after the vines were cut, and soon, Izumi, Kouichi and Junpei were as well, they all looked at the dedigivolved digimon, "What happened?" Izumi asked, Kouichi looked at her, "We lost..." he looked at gabumon, "Didnt we?" gabumon nodded, and he then became very serious, "Digivolve! Garurumon!" he looked at them all, "That was his escape plan...he knew he wouldnt win, so, he used that second rate attack to blind us, and ran. Now we have to go find that siremon, so we can get the Stone." they all agreed, and "Ankylomon!" and "Greymon!" appeared. The kids climbed onto the digimon, and the set off, towards the mountains on the outer edge of the forest, which seemed to be closer now for some reason.

Tomoki and Shinya were walking through the forest, when they heard something in the trees, they looked in all directions, it was really dark, and they couldnt see to well, Tomoki walked slowly towards a bush, and then, out from the trees fell several digimon around them, "Shinya get back!" Shinya tunred, "They surrounded us Tomoki!" the wer back to back, and the many digimon started to get closer, the were ghost like digimon, Shinya looked scared, "What are they?" Tomoki looked at him over his shoulder, "I dont know..."

KD: That seems like a good ending...Oh yeah! So, Tomoki and Shinya are surrounded by evil digimon, Koji, Kouichi, Izumi, and Junpei are riding through the forest, in search of siremon the Nomad Digimon of Wind, and Takuya and Utaka are both resting before a long journey down the mountain side.
