Chapter 5: Digimon Battle Tournament

After visiting the Agumon village the children moved on. They were now standing before a large coliseum several strong Digimon were standing in a line. "I wonder what this is?" Takuya asked. "It looks like some sort of Tournament," Koji said. "Yeah I think so," J.P. said. "Like a fighting tournament?" Tommy asked. "Yep," Zoe answered. "You guys are here!" They turned to see a familiar a familiar Gatsumon. "Gatsumon!" Koji picked him up! "It's been a long time since I've seen you," He said. "Same to you," Even though it had only been 2 days since their last visit. "So what's going on here?" Takuya asked. "It's the Digimon battle tournament," Gatsumon answered. "Cool!" J.P. said. "The Royal knights are throwing this tournament to gain strong warriors for their cause, and the winner gets to use the internet to warp to any terminal they choose when ever they want," Gatsumon said.

"That's what we need," Takuya said. "Then we'd be able to get to the Village of beginnings," Zoe said. "Why do you guys wanna go there?" Gatsumon asked. "To see what's going on?" Koji asked. "The Royal Tyrants are enforcing their rule, for their king!" Gatsumon said. "We know that, but we need to go to the village of beginnings so we can see the 3 baby angel Digimon," Tommy said. "2 years have passed, and they are back to their mega levels," Gatsumon said. "Really? Then why aren't they doing anything about the royal knights?" J.P. asked. "Because they have been captured by their king, right now the Digimon resistance a battling the royal knights to free the 3 angels, but it's a losing battle," Gatsumon sighed.

A large shadow hovered over them; it was Alphamon. "Who are you?" Koji asked. "That's Lord Alphamon," Gatsumon said nervously. "I assume you are another royal knight," Zoe said. "That is correct, and I assume you know why I'm here," he replied. "You won't delete us," Tommy said. "Little boy you have a mouth on you, but I'll let it slide if you enter my tournament," He said. "Your tournament!" J.P. said. "Yes mine," he replied. "He's the champion," Gatsumon said trying to conceal his apparent fear.

"Let's skip the Tournament, and get to it right here! Beast spirit evolution!" J.P. changed to his beast form, "Metal Kabuterimon!" "Don't do it," Koji warned. "Give it your best shot," Alphamon said. "Bolo thunder!" Metal Kabuterimon attack hit dead on, but nothing happened. "No effect... Well try this! Electron Cannon!" Metal Kabuterimon use his strongest attack! "Fool! Alpha Blast!" Alphamon countered with a large golden blast that wiped out his opponent. J.P. lay lifelessly on the ground. The others were saddened, and angered! "I'll be looking for you in the finals," Alphamon entered the coliseum alone.

"He got me real good," J.P. muttered. "So you're alright?" Koji asked. "Yeah, I'll get him in the tournament, but first I need something to eat," he said. "J.P. you're entering the tournament, then so am I," Takuya announced. "Why don't we all fight," Tommy asked. "That's a perfect idea," Koji said somewhat out of character. "Good luck!" Gatsumon said with I wide smile. "Why are you smiling?" They asked curiously. "I'm in the tournament, and I plan to win!" He said. "Good for you..." Koji said trying to keep himself from laughing.

Digimon were gathering in the coliseum taking seats. An Etemon was standing in the center holding a microphone. "Welcome! Welcome! This is the Digimon Battle Tournament! Where power housing Digimon run wild! Where rookies become champions, and Champions become Ultimates! Lord Alphamon will be watching so fight you're hardest! Now For the first match! WereGarurmon Verses Machinedramon!" He left the ring as the 2 opponents took the stage.

"Wow this is gonna be great!" Takuya said. "Machinedramon is a Mega, and WereGarurumon is an ultimate," Zoe said. "Just watch the fight," J.P. muttered.

WereGarurmon began with a sprint! Machinedramon made no movement at all. "Wolf Claw!" WereGarurumon went in for the attack, but it had no use on the mega level Digimon. "That didn't work!" WereGarurumon attacked with a flurry of kicks, and punches, but they had no effect against the awesome armor of Machinedramon. "Weakness... Giga Cannon!" Machinedramon blasted WereGarurumon with his strongest attack! With no defense he was blown out of the arena!

"The Winner of this battle is Machinedramon!" Etemon declared!

The kids had seen a taste of what they were going to get, but who will make it to the Finals is anyone's guess.
