Bboyz: Thanks for all the reviews and I'm really sorry to keep you all waiting......... It's just that I've been really busy with school and life and other stuff that you don't have to know. I'll cut it short and start the fic.
Terriermon: Hey, what about me? Don't I get a say before the fic starts?
Bboyz: Nope (cuts to the fic)
Chapter 7: Encounter with the Dark Elements
Ryo stopped. He looked around him searching for something. The others stopped too and wandered what Ryo was doing.
"What's up Ryo?" Rika asked. Ryo shrugged.
"I thought I heard Henry and Terriermon but it must have been my imagination........." Ryo answered. Suzie looked up to Ryo with an extremely happy expression on her face.
"You mean you heard Onii-san and Terriermon?" Suzie asked. Ryo nodded and sighed.
"Well, I thought I did......... Let's get going. We still have two more gemstones to locate", Ryo added as he started walking, leading the group with Rika and Renamon at the back.
---- Infinity Mountain == File Island ----
"What's happening Kazu?" Jeri as she heard her friend gasped. Jeri, Kenta, Guardromon, Marineangemon and Leomon went closer to Kazu to see what was going on.
"Well, I was surveying the energy sources when I spotted this", Kazu explained as he pointed on his screen. The screen shows a huge green aura, glittering.
"What's that?" Kenta asked. He pointed to an extremely huge energy source coming towards the File Island.
"WHAT! I didn't notice that! We have to get ready for anything that might happen because that huge thing is headed our way", Kazu shouted.
"What's going to happen?" Jeri asked. Suddenly, the door behind them opened as bright light shone into the room. They saw a figure coming in.
"Guys, the time is nearly approaching. You guys should pack up in here because you guys are moving to a safer place. This island will be damaged, even though we've already put a barrier around it", Ray explained.
"What about the primary village?" Guardromon asked.
"Digimons have been sent to save the village. The Harmonious ones are trying their best on expanding secondary village, which is where the eggs are going to be transferred. You guys will be going there too. Secondary village is hidden from all so it's safe. Jeri, you will meet Leomon there", Ray added.
"Ok, but what about you Ray?" Jeri asked. Ray smiled.
"Don't worry about me......... I have other work to do", Ray said. He turned around and walked out of the room.
"That guy can be creepy sometimes........." Kenta said.
"I heard that!" came a voice from outside. Kenta sweat dropped.
"Then again, he can never be serious for too long........." The others laughed and started packing.
---- Outside the room == Infinity Mountain ----
"Laugh all you like because you won't be able to laugh that much soon. The time is nearly approaching........." Ray said as he took out his D-Arc from the inside pocket of his white robe.
"Transport!" Ray shouted as he disappeared into thin air.
---- Southern Canyon == Southern Central ----
"Guilmon, lets get going. You've been resting every half an hour since we left Zhuqiaomon. We'll never get anywhere if you keep this up", Takato said.
"But me tired Takato", Guilmon answered. Takato sweat dropped as sighed. He thought back on what Zhuqiaomon had instructed them.
---- Flashback ----
"Takato, you have nearly mastered the arts of transformation. This is excellent. But you still need another thing to complete the training, The Core of Transformation", Zhuqiaomon explained.
"Where can I get that?" he asked.
"I don't really know. It's hidden somewhere. Only you and Guilmon will know when the time comes. The core belongs to you and to you only it will react", Zhuqiaomon answered.
"So now Takato, go and get the core and save the digiworld", Zhuqiaomon added.
---- End flashback ----
Takato looked around after he opened his eyes. He felt something calling out for him. Might it be a sign from the Core of Transformation? He looked at Guilmon who shared the eager look on his face.
"It's near", Takato said. Guilmon nodded and got up.
From on top of a pile of rocks, a figure stood watching both Takato and Guilmon.
"So, it's near eh? Well then, I just have to get to it before you to do", The figue said as he jumped of the pile of rocks and dashed onto the rocky plain.
---- A while later == Southern Canyon ----
"Is that it?" Takato asked as he and Guilmom stood on the edge of the canyon while looking down to a small den made of rock.
"Well, well, well. Look at what we've got here, a pair of losers trying to find the Core of Transformation. I've got news for you pal, you're not getting it because it's mine!" A figure in black said as he confronted Takato and Guilmon.
"Who are you?" Takato asked.
"Your worst nightmare!" The guy threw of his black robe, revealing himself as a normal looking teenager.
"You're a human, just like me. So, why should I be scared of you?" Takato asked. Guilmon growled as the boy came nearer. The boy stood inches away from Takato. They were of the same height.
The boy had brownish hair with jade green eyes. He put his hand on Takato's chin and lifted it up. He let go and then laughed.
"Foolish! Even thought I may look to you as an ordinary teenage boy, but do you have the power to do this?" The boy threw balls of fire onto the ground which exploded, resulting in a thick smoke.
Takato and Guimon jumped backwards and searched for the boy. They found him floating in mid air, looking straight own at them. He laughed uncontrollably.
"Who are you?" Takato asked again, searching for an answer.
"I am Troy of the Dark Element", he introduced himself. He then took out what looked like a dark D-Arc. He held it high on top of him.
"Transformation activates!" Troy was spun around by a whirling orange light which covered most of him. The light then disappeared revealing Troy dressed in orange with tattered bat wings coming out of his back.
"Two can play at that game! Transform!" Takato shouted as fire started to flood him from his leg up towards his head, enveloping him. The fire then blew out revealing a human sized phoenix. Takato sore up into the sky towards Troy.
"You won't get me easily bird brain. I have an advantage over you", Troy said.
"And what's that?" Takato asked sarcastically. Troy then disappeared in thin air. Takato looked around, trying to find Troy. Then he saw Troy reappearing above him.
"I still have a human body!" Troy shouted as he shot powerful orange beams towards Takato. Takato was hit and fell down to the ground.
"Takato, are you alright?" Guilmon asked. Takato nodded. He reverted back to his normal self, "Me want to help you out Takato".
"Alright then! Lets go and get him", Takato said with determination. He once again raised his fist into the air.
"Dual transformation!" Takato shouted. This time, Both Guilmon and Takato were enveloped in fire. The phoenix reappeared again, this time with golden colored wings and also an additional pair of white angelic wings.
"Talk about ugly........." Troy commented. The phoenix sore up into the sky, this time even faster than before. Troy was caught off guard and was sent downwards, pulled by the gravitational force.
"You won't beat me that easily!" Troy shouted as he flew back up into the sky before he crashed onto the ground. Troy decreases the gap between him and Takato. He then lunged full speed into Takato and sent him flying into a pile of rocks. Troy shot more beams towards Takato which weakened him.
"What do you think of my power now freshmen?" Troy asked as he smirked. Takato opened his eyes and saw Troy was aiming another beam towards him, this time, even bigger than the ones before.
"Extragrandebeam!" Troy shouted. The beam went full force towards Takato. Takato with all the might that's left in him flew out of the way but a part of him was caught in the attack.
"Argh! Guilmon, I think we need to revert back to our normal self and change our plan........." Takato said. The phoenix glowed a bright red color and then divided into two and reverted back into Guilmon and Takato.
"We'll just beat him the good old way!" Takato said weakly as he held up his D-Arc, "MATRIX EVOLUTION!" Both Guilmon and Takato were again enveloped in bright glimmering light and came out as one. Gallantmon.
"Huh, you won't get much anywhere using a tin can like that", Troy laughed.
"Was that a compliment or an insult?" Galantmon asked sarcastically. He then floated into the air and glowed once more, turning himself into Gallantmon Crimson Mode.
"A change of costume, big deal........." Troy said. Gallantmon CM flew towards Troy with his sword raised.
"QUA VADIS!" Gallantmon CM shouted as a green beam shot Troy. Troy summoned a shield and shielded himself from the attack. After the attack finishes, he threw away his shield. Troy crossed is arms and laughed at the sight of Gallantmon CM.
"Impossible!" Takato shouted from inside Gallantmon CM.
"Most things are possible for me! Extragrandebeam!" Troy shot another beam towards Gallantmon CM. This time, it hits him flat onto the ground. Gallantmon CM de-digivolved back into Takato and Guilmon. Both bodies lay weak on the ground. Troy flew downwards to survey the two weak bodies. As he reached them, he laughed and had a triumph look on his face.
"I told you that you were no match for me........." Troy stopped as he felt a gentle breeze coming towards him. He smelt the air. He then flew back up into the air.
"Transformation!" Troy shouted as his dark D-Arc glowed again. This time Troy turned into a huge brownish Gargoyle, his ancient beast transformation. Troy started to flap his wings, forming strong gales. Dark clouds started to form as the wind blew harder and harder.
"This is the end of you tamer", Troy laughed evilly. His wings started to flap in the direction of Takato and Guilmon, pushing them further and further towards the edge of the cliff. Troy's wings then glimmered black and shot out blades towards Takato and Guilmon. Guilmon used all the power he had to shield Takato who was still unconscious.
The blades hit Guilmon on the back, sending him and Takato off the cliff and into the canyon. Troy flew his way towards the canyon and watched as both Guilmon and Takato fell helplessly down. He then saw the rock den at the bottom of the canyon.
"Exrtagrandebeam!" he shouted aiming for the sides of the cliff. The rocks shattered and fell following Guilmon and Takato," That'll really take care of them".
---- Infinity Mountain == File Island ----
"Time to go guys........." Ray said as he waved to the three tamers and two digimons. Suddenly, the weather changed drastically. Kazu, being the last one to go in paused before being warped to the Secondary Village. He turned around and saw a trail of black smoke coming towards File Island.
"What the heck is that?" Kazu asked.
"That's the child of destruction. He's that one the Dark Element's been looking for", Ray explained. They both watched as the trail of smoke suddenly stops at Primary Village. They both saw that the trail was made by a teenage boy about their age.
"Hey, there's still a digiegg there!" Kazu shouted.
"That belongs to him. We tried our best but it wouldn't budge at all........." Ray said sadly. He turned to face Kazu," You should get going now". Ray pushed Kazu into the warped field. Ray then turned around and saw that the child of destruction has gone.
"Pity he doesn't have a clue what's coming for him", Ray said sadly. He took out his D-Arc and vanished into thin air.
---- Northern Central == Central ----
Ryo and the others are still walking around, searching for the next gemstone. They stopped by a forest which was in the middle of a huge and hot desert. Suzie and Lopmon were drinking from a nearby spring and Rika and Renamon were searching for some food to eat while Ryo and Monodramon kept the look out.
Suddenly, the whole scene was bombarded with bombs. The group reunited and got ready for whatever that was coming their way. After the smoke cleared, they saw five figures on top of an Aidramon.
"Who are you?" Ryo asked as he held out his sword. The six laughed. Two of them walked a few inches forward. The two boys were teenagers, the same age as Rika and the others. One had light purple hair and brown eyes while the other had brown hair and eyes.
"We're the Dark Elements. Don't you recognize us?" The one with the brown hair asked. The groups gasped. Suzie hid behind Rika and Ryo. The digimons got ready for battle. One of the remaining four of the Dark Elements raised one of his hands and sent out waves that knocked the digimons backwards. Ryo raised his sword and went forward to challenge him.
"Be careful Ryo", Rika said. Ryo looked at Rika and winked.
"Don't worry wildcat, I'll be fine", Ryo said. Rika smiled. Ryo once again move forward to challenge the Dark Elements. The one that knocked the digimons down stood up and jumped of the Aidramon. He seems to be the same age and height as Takato and Henry and was wearing a black cape.
"Greetings tamers, we heard that you guys are trying to stop us. Is that correct?" The boy asked. Ryo clenched his fist and raised his sword.
"You bet it is!" Ryo shouted. The boy smirked evilly.
"Well......... Before I kill you I give you the privilege of knowing my name. I'm Isaac of the Dark Elements", Isaac introduced himself. Ryo raised his sword (how many times has he done that?) up to Isaac's chin.
"I don't care even if you were Isaac Newton; you're still one of the Dark Element and needs to be destroyed!" Ryo said. Isaac smirked again.
"Well, well, well, aren't we cranky today?" He said sarcastically and took out a sword of his own. He withdrew himself from Ryo who did the same exact movement. They both looked at each other. Blue eyes locked with violet eyes. A breeze blew by.
At the same exact moment, Isaac and Ryo lunged forward towards each other. Their swords met one another as they struggle to hurt the other. They dueled until at last, Isaac had the upper hand when Ryo fell down on his back and accidentally. Isaac placed his sword right under Ryo's chin to prove his almost victory. The Dark Elements cheered as the tamers were now scared of what will come next.
"You see Ryo, you'll never beat us. We've more advanced techniques and powers than you guys do........." Isaac explained," There's no one that can save you now Ryo........."
"Don't lie; you were just lucky I accidentally tripped over your stupid cape", Ryo said as he laughed a little triumph. Isaac was annoyed and raised his sword for the final blow. Isaac drove his sword down, targeting Ryo on the chest.
"WHAT!" Isaac shouted as his sword failed in killing Ryo but was collided with a magical wand, one that is very familiar to him. He raise his head and looked at who was in front of him, "YOU!"
"Missed me?" a boy in white robe asked him. Ryo opened his eyes and looked up to the boy that saved him. Ryo smiled.
"Misty cloud!" the boy shouted. His magical wand glowed and unleashed a blinding blue mist.
"Twirling Tornado!" Isaac shouted and a mini cyclone came out of his sword and blew away the mist. He now only saw the boy standing there alone, with no sign of Ryo.
"So Isaac, why aren't you frustrated like those times before when I beat you again and again?" the boy asked. Isaac smirked.
"Ray, even though you've mastered a few more worthless tricks after our departure, I still know that evil will gat the last laugh........." Isaac explained.
"Is that so?" Ray asked sarcastically.
"Rage of the Dragons!" Isaac shouted as his sword transform into two dragon smoke figures.
"Mist of the Fire Dragon!" Ray shouted as his wandRod turned into red mist surrounding the two smoke dragon figures. The mist slowly wrapped around the two smoke dragon figures, dissolving it. Isaac was now frustrated.
"Tell me again, who gets the last laugh?" Ray asked. Isaac raised his hands. The two boys that were standing on the Aidramon jumped of it and joined Isaac. And then, another boy jumped of another Airdramon, leaving only one member of the Dark Elements alone on the remaining Airdramon.
"Ray, I'd like you to meet my friends. This is Lyle, Troy and Zack. They all agreed in joining the Dark Elements to have the power of conquering the dimensions of the digiworld", Isaac explained.
"So, you're going to cheat again eh? Two against one", Ray asked. Isaac smirked.
"When you can't win, cheat", Isaac added. Ray closed his eyes, disgusted by Isaac. He raised his wand towards the sky.
"Power of the duo elements!" Ray shouted as the earth and the wind started to ripple. A barrier formed around the Dark Elements and the tamers. Ray opened his eyes and smirked. Isaac was dumbstruck and didn't know what to say.
"This can't be! He has mastered the one technique that I can never learn........." Isaac screamed. The other members of the Dark Elements looked at him," With this barrier activated, it doubles the power of the sword that Ryo possesses and also make them faster in attacks".
"Very clever........." Ray said sarcastically, now joined by the eager Ryo.
"Who care, we still have the upper hand!" Zack explained. The members of the Dark Elements nodded. Isaac's face brightened up again.
"We have more men power than you two do", Isaac said and smirked. Ray didn't say a word and raised his wand, ready for battle. Ryo did then same. The quietness of the scene was interrupted.
"Hey, aren't you guys forgetting something?" a figure asked from on top of a pile of rocks. All attention was drawn to the voice. Standing on the pile of rock were two figures. Their faces were not seen because they were standing in front of the rays of sun.
