Chapter 7: Battle in the Coliseum pt 2

Rhodo Knightmon held his signature rose in a mysterious way. "This isn't fair, a Royal knight in the tournament!" Gatsumon protested as he joined the kids for the next battle. Angemon flew up in the sky, but Rhodo Knightmon didn't bother to follow. "Hand of Fate!" Angemon launched his strongest attack, but Rhodo Knightmon flanked to the side!

"Is that the best you have?" He asked arrogantly! "As an angel I will defeat you!" Angemon swung his golden staff, but Rhodo Knightmon caught the weapon! "You shouldn't be so careless with your behavior! Spiral Masquerade!" Rhodo Knightmon pummeled Angemon with his yellow ribbon!

"Angemon is going to loose!" Takuya said. "I think so too," Koji agreed, but to their surprise Angemon survived the attack. "You're strong for a weak Digimon," his opponent recognized his strength. Angemon breathed heavily, "Hand of Fate!" He tried his signature attack once again, but Rhodo Knightmon countered with a flurry of roses! The crowd was awestricken by this move.

"Rhodo Knightmon is as strong as ever," Tommy said. "So what, we beat'em once, and we'll beat him again," J.P. said. "True, but Lucemon stole their data," Zoe said. "I wondered. If Lucemon is their king," Takuya said. "If he's back then we're screwed," Koji said. They contemplated this for a moment, but returned their attention to the match once they heard Angemon scream in pain! Rhodo Knightmon had just used his Fist of Athena to end the battle. "Lord Rhodo Knightmon is the winner!" Etemon declared to an overly excited group.

They looked on as their foe exited the arena. "Next up is J.P. Versus Glademon!" Etemon cried! "J.P. was happy to go into action, but he had never seen his opponent before. Glademon was Tall clad in gold armor. He had a long blue cape, and carried 2 fencing like swords. "A worthless human," Glademon sneered. "I take exception to that," J.P. said. "Oh and you seem to have a knack for eating, eh pudgy?" Glademon pointed at J.P.'s stomach.

"Execute! Spirit Evolution!" J.P. ignored the comments and called on the powers of his human spirit! "Beetlemon!" he declared! "Wow you aren't so fat," Glademon said. "I'll teach you! Lighting Blitz!" Beetelmon zeroed in with his horn, but Glademon blocked with his 2 swords!

"Cross Slash!" Glademon cut into him with his double swords! Beetlemon hit the ground hard! The crowd cheered wildly! "J.P. better get it together!" Koji cried! "That was a nice shot but I can do better! Thunder Fist!" Beetelmon sent a surge of electricity at Glademon! "I'll block with my sword!" Glademon arrogantly raised his swords to protect him, but they were like a lighting rod! He was fried unbelievably by Beetlemon's attack!! "Go J.P.!" Tommy cried! His friends were happy fro him, but Glademon wasn't finished! "Impressive, but can you handle this? Glade Rush!" he waved his sword around some how mesmerizing Beetlemon! With one quick dash he had cut down Beetlemon!

The attack was so strong it forced him to return to his human form. "J.P." Zoe said with a look of concern. Alphamon and Rhodo Knightmon watched the battle from the balcony. "This fight is over," He said. "I don't think so, look at that boy," Rhodo Knightmon pointed out.

J.P. leaped to his feet dusting himself off. This made Glademon even angrier. "You can still stand after my best attack," he glared straight through his opponent. "Execute! Beast Spirit evolution!" J.P. was calling on the power of his beast spirit! "Metal Kabuterimon!" "Your transformation doesn't scare me," Glademon said. "We'll it should! Bolo Thunder!" Metal Kabuterimon's attack connected, and sent Glademon flying out of the arena! "The winner is Metal Kabuterimon!" Etemon declared!

"You should never underestimate your enemies," Rhodo Knightmon said. "Yes my lord, I understand," Alphamon said. "Who are the next competitors?" Rhodo Knightmon asked. "Takuya Verses heh Koji," Alphamon said. "Friends against one another," Rhodo Knightmon said. "Inform Etemon of the match," Alphamon commanded of a Knightmon.

"When am I going to battle?" Gatsumon wondered aloud. "Soon, maybe it will be you and me," Koji said. "Whoever I'm fighting will be fine, but I wanna face Rhodo Knightmon," Takuya said. "And I wanna fight Alphamon," J.P. said. Etemon took to the crowd. "Digimon we have another Spectacular match for you! One that will put you on edge! We have Takuya Verses Koji!" Etemon announced! His announcement silenced the kids. Koji and Takuya stared at each other for a long time. They knew it was time to see who was better.

With the Tournament In full swing, only one of them will make it to the end, how will they deal with fighting one another, and what is Rhodo Knightmon's agenda? Find out in the next chapter.
