Digimon Tamers X
Chapter 8
"Queens of Shikijou"
"Oh…my head." Seiryuu and Guilmon X walked through the town, dazed and confused. "How did we get here and where are we?" Seiryuu asked, with his hand on his head. "I don't know how we got here, but I think we are in Shikijou; it's a small town that is ruled by Lilithmon." "Great. We just battled Beelzebumon and barely got out of that, and now we have to deal with another Demon Lord." "Well Seiryuu, we might not have too much trouble, because unlike the other Demon Lords, Lilithmon only has two Generals." "Good." said Seiryuu, "Let's just hope they don't try to sneak attack us or anything." "Yeah," replied Guilmon X laughing, "that would be terrible." They both started to laugh out loud, when they heard a scream coming from the woods. "You hear that Seiryuu? We have to go help!" Guilmon X ran into the woods with Seiryuu close behind. "This seems very familiar." Said Seiryuu, thinking to himself, as they followed the screams, which lead to a Bastemon being attacked by an Archnemon, "Yep, very familiar."
"Please help me!" cried out Bastemon. "Don't worry," said Seiryuu, pulling out his D-ark, "we'll save you." "Guilmon X! X-evolution! Growmon X!" "Growmon attack!" "Exhaust Flame!" Growmon X's roaring flames rushed towards Archnemon, but she quickly jumped out of the way. "Spider Thread!" Archnemon shot out sticky threads from her hands, which wrapped around Growmon X's mouth and arms. "Heh heh! Now you can't attack me with your claws or with your flames!" "Ha! We'll see about that!" said Seiryuu, transferring his energy to Growmon X. "Raah!" Growmon X, made stronger by Seiryuu's energy, managed to break free from Archnemon's threads. "Looks like your threads just weren't strong enough." Said Growmon X tauntingly, "Now lets see how you handle this!" blades emerged from Growmon X's forearm; they started to glow blue from the energy Growmon X sent to them. "Take this! Raiden Blade!" Growmon X swung his right arm, trying to slash Archnemon with his blade, but once again she manages to dodge the attack. "Damn. She's just too fast." said Seiryuu, standing next to Bastemon, "Hmm. I think I have an idea." Seiryuu reached into his pocket and pulled out his deck, from which he chose 2 cards. "Card Slash! Speed activate!" Growmon X's speed increased dramatically as he ran after Archnemon, "Card Slash! Archnemon activate!" "Spider Thread!" Growmon X used Archnemon's own attack against her, she tried to dodge, but she is too slow, and is hit, knocking her into a tree. "How dare you use my own attack against me!" said Archnemon struggling to get unstuck from the tree. "Raiden Blade!" Growmon X slashed Archnemon and the tree in half, deleting them both.
"Whew. You're safe now." Said Seiryuu looking at Bastemon. "Thank you." said Bastemon, smiling, swinging her claws at Seiryuu. "Ugh!" Seiryuu started to fall backwards, with blood flying from his side. "Seiryuu!" Growmon X ran recklessly towards Bastemon. Bastemon jumped in the air and kicked Growmon X's neck, knocking him unconscious. Growmon X devolved back into Guilmon X, and Bastemon picked up both Guilmon X and Seiryuu and carried them, walking toward a dark palace. "Uh…my head, again." Seiryuu looked around at the dark quiet surroundings. "What?" Seiryuu looked at his hands and saw that they were chained to the wall. "I had a dream like this once…it was a lot better than this." He looked over at Guilmon X; seeing him quiet and motionless scared Seiryuu, so he yelled at him telling him to wake up. "Huh? I'm awake." said Guilmon X, "Where are we?" "I don't know." said Seiryuu, "But we have to get out of here." Seiryuu started to glow red boosting Guilmon X's strength, allowing them both, to break free from their chains. "How did you do that?" asked Guilmon X, "How did I do what?" "You boosted your strength too this time." "Hmm, I don't know, and I don't really care; all I care about is getting out of here." "You're not going anywhere." A soft feminine voice came from the shadows, "I can't allow you to leave here alive." From the shadows emerged the Demon Lord Lilithmon, and her General Bastemon. "Bastemon has informed me that you two managed to defeat Archemon, no one has managed to do that before. But unfortunately for you, you now have to deal with me." "Awesome…I mean you won't stand a chance against us." Declared Seiryuu, with Guilmon X staring at him strangely. "Silly boy, I'm not going to fight you, yet. You must first get pass Bastemon." "Fine, we will!" "Guilmon X! X-evolution! Growmon X!"
