All right here's chapter 2. Hope that everyone likes this one too. And again I will say I do not own digimon or anything associated with it. Although wouldn't it be cool if I did.
Leon turned it over and over in his head, tapping rapidly on his keyboard in an online conversation with Tera. Dart got to the perfection stage before he? How could the digital world make such an error? He was obviously more deserving than that fool, Dart. This kept repeating as he typed for his female teammate to explain more about the new level digivolution, frustrated that his rival had had his evolution in a lava pit. Of course, Noah would say, as he always did, that it made sense, because all of Dart's evolutions were fire-based. Banging his head against the desk where he sat, he suddenly reached a conclusion. If Tera had found the artifact that unlocked this power by a surrounding area of death, so would he. Comfortable in his decision to find one of his own, he said goodbye to Tera, shut off the computer, and rolled into bed, determined that after school tomorrow he would reach Dart's new power level.
During the next day, he saw Tera and Dart wait outside, assumably for Noah. Noah walked out and they started walking in Leon's direction, they noticed Leon, but looked away before doing a double take. Noticing their acknowledgement of him, he quickly ducked behind a nearby pillar. Noah breaks away from the group, saying he'll see Dart and Tera later and begins to follow Leon, sure of seeing him. Leon held his plain digivice up to the school computer, yet another reminder that Dart was more advanced with his D-3, and entered with his partner Kokuwamon, not suspecting that was being followed by Noah's curious eyes. Noah soon follows not fully understanding Leon's motivation. He hadn't really said much after Dart gained the power to reach the perfection stage. Tera said she had talked to him last night but he hadn't said much. Noah and Tapirmon were transported to where Leon coordinates of entrance had been, with the TV almost invisible in the shadow of a dark dying forest. He sees Leon trudging through the dense undergrowth and Noah continues his pursuit.
Soon Leon enters an opening in the forest at the edge of cliff. Towards the edge, an alter of petrified wood, and resting upon it is tube of sealed bamboo. "This the artifact I need." Leon whispered coolly to Kokuwamon. Kokuwamon says nothing, never questioning his partners' judgment. Arrogantly striding towards the alter, they are suddenly bombarded by a series of explosions.
"Argh! Kokuwamon!" Thrusting out his digivice, it glows a bright metallic orange.
"Kokuamon digivolved to...!" The light twined about him and he grew to the larger adult form of the clockwork...
"Clockmon!" Completely camouflaged before, Bastemon, a tall cat-like digimon who leaped out of the forest while yelling for the "young intruder" to get away from the artifact his king, Kuzuhamon, had sent him to acquire. Clockmon retaliates with his "Chrono Breaker!", trying to smash the swift cat with his huge hammer. Noah and Tapirmon watched as Bastemon swiped at Clockmon on the battlefield. "Should we help? Asked Tapirmon, worried of the state of the rapidly tiring Clockmon.
"Only if things get out of hand." Noah replied. Just then Bastemon let out a barrage of "Helter Skelter!" where then black shadow balls were thrown at Clockmon. Clockmon fell back beaten badly but alive. Holding out his glowing green digivice Noah said, "Now we help."
"Tapirmon digivolved to...!" Light streamed around tapir and from the fog that surrounded him outstretched legs and he grew to become...
"Dobermon!" The dog's new form charged into the battle to save Clockmon. "Schwarz Strahl!" Colliding with Bastemon, but hardly doing any damage. "I have to keep trying and find her weakness."
Noah ran out of the forest towards Leon. "You okay?" he asked.
"I was perfectly fine handling this myself, thank you." Leon replied coldly.
"Sorry to burst your bubble but it looked as if you needed help." he said.
"We were doing fine, but it now looks like your the one who needs help." Glancing back to the battle, Noah watched as Dobermon was knocked back, and then was attacked by the same shadow balls, but this time Dobermon was lifted into the air and was thrown off a huge cliff.
"Dobermon!" As Noah ran to the edge of the cliff, the tube of bamboo glinted slightly, causing him to instinctively he grab it just before he jumped off the edge towards Dobermon. Holding it he realized it was the case to a scroll with a green seal. His digivice glinted like the scroll. Still falling he pulled it out and held them next to each other. The scroll suddenly became the Scroll of Answers and his digivice became a green D-3 with clear grips. Without uttering a word, Noah held open the scroll to the falling Dobermon. With in reading a few lines, Noah's clear gripped D-3 let loose a pulse with new energy that immediately shot into Dobermon.
"Dobermon matrix digivolve to..." Time seemed to slow as he was covered in a dark fog, a distant howl came from inside and the moon appeared. The fog was suddenly by green streaks and a huge black wolf was now in it. It released a green flame as he became...
"Cerberumon!" The shadow wolf cried.
Rerolling the scroll, Cerberumon grabbed his partner in midair as time resumed normal flow. Leaping back up the cliff unnoticed over the edge to solid ground, they arrived just in time to see Clockmon dedigivolve to Kokuwamon. Cerberumon attacked with "Emerald Flame!" burning into the back of Bastemon. "Ah! I thought I got rid of you! Vampire Dance!" Cerberumon leaped into the air and almost flew over Bastemons head.
He dived into a "Portals of Darkness!" Pushing Bastemon down into the pool of shadows created below her. Suddenly she didn't nowhere she was even though the darkness had always been her own. This was a different darkness, a darkness of the mind, of Cerberumon's mind. She was suddenly slashed and sliced by dark green claws. She arose back form the dimension created by Cerberumon beaten. Bastemon faltered and fell conceding defeat. Bastemon dedigivolved through Blackgatomon and Salamon and finally staying Nyaromon
"That was interesting," said Noah replaying the experience as they were walking back to the gate.
"Interesting? You ruined the entire thing. I should have been the one to digivolve," replied Leon.
"I did nothing but what seemed right at the time." Noah said as he transported himself back to the real world. "It should have been mine." Leon fumed.
"You can't control everything that goes around here you know," said Kokuwamon "Don't worry about it you'll get to soon."
Leon held up his digivice to the screen and said. "Tomorrow we'll get an artifact and if we don't we won't leave this world until we do, Digiport Open!"
