Digimon Tamers X
Chapter 4
"Growmon X's Burning Exhaust Flame"
Seiryuu and Guilmon X come upon a small village inhabited by reptile Digimon. They wander the village searching for a place where they can get food, when they stumble upon an Agumon being harassed by a Chamelemon. "Alright punk, where are you hiding it?" said the green Digimon. "It's none of your business!" shouted Agumon. "Alright have it your way. Tongue Whip!" Chamelemon's long tongue lashed out at Agumon, knocking him to the ground. "I'll ask you one more time, where is…" before Chamelemon could finish Seiryuu and Guilmon X came to Agumon's aid. "What's going on here?" asked Seiryuu demandingly. "This does not concern you," Chamelemon said looking straight at Seiryuu, "butt out if you don't want to get hurt." "Leave them alone you bitch!" Agumon yelled. "Why you little…Tongue Whip!" "Rock Breaker!" Guilmon's burning claws slashed off Chamelemon's tongue before it was able to hit Agumon. "My..my shung! Chu'll pay for zhis!" Chamelemon ran away into the forest with a trail of blood coming from his mouth. "Thank you so much, is there anything I can do to repay you?" "No, at all, we were glad to help." said Guilmon, with a grin on his face, which turned to a frown when his and Seiryuu's stomachs gurgled. "Well," said Seiryuu, scratching his head, "could you possibly give us something to eat?" Agumon stared at them and chuckeld, "Ha! Of course there's plenty of food back at my house follow me.
When they arrived at Agumon's house they ate an enormous feast and drank fresh squeezed juice from some odd berries Agumon found under his house. "So tell me," Seiryuu asked, about to burst from all the food he ate, "why was that Chamelemon attacking you? What was he wanted from you?" "Well you see…he was after…this." Agumon pulled a chest from under the table. When he opened it, there was an orb with an X and seven read dots. "What is it?" asked Guilmon X. "You should know Guilmon," Seiryuu said with an excited look in his eyes, "that is the X Antibody." "That's right," said Agumon closing his chest, "ever since I found it Chamelemon has been attacking me, trying to make me hand it over to him." "But not anymore, Guilmon and I took care of him." "He may be gone but his leader is still out there." "What do mean?" asked Seiryuu, with a concerned look on his face. "Chamelemon works for a monstrous Dinosaur Digimon who wants the X Antibody. Somehow he was able to find out about me finding it, so he's been sending Chamelemon after me. I'm afraid he'll keep coming after me, I could just give it to him and end all this, but the X Antibody is just too powerful, he could use it to destroy this village." "Don't worry about it; we will make sure nothing happens to you, we'll stay here until he backs off." Seiryuu stared at Agumon with an eager look in his eyes, which let Agumon know he could trust them.
Seiryuu and Guilmon X stayed at Agumon's house to make sure he was safe for the night; when morning came Seiryuu and Guilmon X woke up seeing that Agumon was missing. They ran outside and found footprints leading to the forest from whence they came. They ran deeper and deeper into the forest to find Agumon lying on the ground unconscious. "Agumon are you okay!" Seiryuu and Guilmon X ran to him when they heard a monstrous voice. "He's fine, I've got what I want so you can take him." "Who are you!" Guilmon X got himself in a battle position, preparing himself for attack. "Don't you remember me?" a large figure emerged from the darkness of the forest, until he became fully visible, "It's me Monochromon, back for REVENGE! But I'm a little different now, I've been enhanced, thanks to the help of the X Antibody; I am now Monochromon X, Head General for Lord Belphemon!"
"So you're the one who has been terrorizing Agumon, not only that, you're also a Genral. Heh, we should've killed you when we had the chance." Seiryuu's dark brown eyes slowly became fire red as he stared down Monochromon X. Guilmon X, gaining energy from Seiryuu, rushed towards Monochromon X, "Fire Ball!" Guilmon X launched his attack at Monochromon X, but the attack does nothing. "Ha!Ha!Ha! Fools, my new armor is made of an indestructible material, your puny attacks won't even leave a mark!" "Darn it! How can we beat him if his armor his indestructible. It doesn't matter, we'll figure something out, besides, he's a General and he must be destroyed!" A white flash came from Seiryuu's D-ark and Guilmon began to glow. "Guilmon X! X-evolution!" Guilmon X, still consumed by light starts to expand and change shape, "Growmon X!" the bright light fades and Growmon X's figure is revealed.
"Impossible," Monochromon X stepped back mouth agape at Guilmon X's evolution, "how was he able to evolve?" "Because unlike you, he was born with the X Antibody, so he has more experience with it, plus he's strong; but you, you are weak who needs the help of other Digimon to do your own dirty work. Heh, you're even so weak you had to steal the Antibody from a weaker Digimon." Seiryuu stared at Monochromon X with a smug look on his trying his best to anger the giant Digimon. "You brat, I'll show you who's weak! Tomahawk Slash!" Monochromon X charged towards Growmon X, prepared to attack with his giant horn, but Growmon X is able to stand his ground and hold off the attack. "You're strong," Growmon X pushes Monochromon X back and the spike on his right arm began to glow, "but not strong enough! Raiden Blade!" Growmon X swung his arm and slices Monochromoc X's horn. "Ah! Not again!" "Take this, Exhaust Flame!" A blazing burst of fire shot out of Growmon X's mouth causing Monochromon X to once again admit defeat and run away. "Whew. Good work Growmon, I bet he won't be bothering anyone again. Now, let's get him home." Seiryuu picked up Agumon and started carrying him out of the forest, Growmon X devolved back to Guilmon X and followed. When Agumon came to, Seiryuu and Guilmon X explained what had happened and told him Monochromon would never bother him again. Seiryuu and Guilmon X say their goodbyes to Agumon and leave, getting closer to their confrontation with Belphemon.
