I don't own Digimon
Trap Snap

"Ok…" Kevin was sitting on the ground. The others sat on the ground in a circle with him. "So this Assaultmon guy…he has Amy…and he wants us to go after him so he can take us on all at once…"
"Yes, and if the digimon of the village are to be trusted then she is up there…" Brendan pointed up to the mountains that towered over the village, "but what do we do…?"
"We have to get Amy back!" said Steven angrily.
"I know…" said Brendan. He looked down at his laptop… "I wonder…these things can transmit energy from us to our digimon…I wonder…" He attached a cord to his laptop. "If I can send a transmission…" He furrowed his eyes and then smiled. "I can do better than that…they have a voice transmission system…these things are awesome…"
The others looked at the boy in awe. The auburn haired boy was totally enthralled with the device. He pressed a couple of buttons.
"What are you doing…?" asked Kevin as he watched.
"Just a second…" Brendan looked down and smiled, "Amy…can you hear me?"
"Brendan!" shouted the girl, "where are you!? Get me out of here! It's bright It looks like a cave and I'm in this plastic ball!"
"I'm down the mountain in this village, I'm talking to you through your digivice," explained Brendan.
"Get your butt up here and get me out!" shouted Amy into the device that caused the children and the digimon flinch from the noise.
"We're thinking of something," shouted Jason.
"Think faster!" shouted Amy.
"We're trying," growled Steven.
"We have to see if it is a trap…" explained Brendan calmly into his digivice. "Assaultmon captured you to lure us to you…we have to some how get you without…working into Assaultmon's hands…"
"You mean barrels," growled the girl on the other end.
"Umm…right…" Brendan looked up at Penguinmon but the bird didn't make any gesture or movement.
"Penguinmon is here," said Janet into Brendan's digivice.
"Is she ok?" asked Amy quietly. "If Assaultmon hurt her I'll go ballistic!"
"She's fine a little depressed, but ok," replied Janet.
"You're in a cave?" asked Mark. "That must be so cool!"
"Oh yeah a regular refrigerator!" exclaimed Amy. She huffed into the device, "Did you not hear me demanding to be freed!?" Mark scooted back from the yelling voice and made a move to hide behind Cupimon.
"Oh, no you don't," yelped Cupimon as he hopped away, "I may fight evil digimon but I'm not getting involved between you and that girl!"
"Guys!" shouted Brendan. "I think we're getting a little off the mark…we need to figure out how to get to her…"
"I think the simplest choice is the direct one…" said Kevin. The others looked at him in surprise.
"What part of, 'that is what Assaultmon wants', did you not understand?" asked Jason. He looked directly at Kevin in the eyes.
"Wait…" Brendan cut in. "It may sound odd but Kevin may have a point…Assaultmon will expect us to search for her in the mountain caves…but if I can send a transmission I can track the one that comes back…"
"What do you mean?" Tapirmon sat next to Brendan. The short boy in green corduroys plugged the device into his computer again.
A map showed up. "This is the area…" the map changed as the picture panned ninety degrees vertical. "This is the mountain as we see it…now if I just…" He picked up the device. "Amy say something…"
"What do you want me to say?" asked Amy.
"That'll do…" replied Brendan as a red line showed up on the map. A big dot appeared on the side of the line that went into the mountain. "She's there…."
"Then we go there," Kevin clenched his fist.
"How?" asked Steven. The young man stood up and looked at Kevin quietly. "I doubt Penguinmon can digivolve at this distance from Amy."
"Kevin's right, the power transmission range is rather, short," said Brendan. The boy looked up, "I give it a few blocks before the transmission is too dispersed to do any good."
"Otamamon…" Jason stood up.
"Renamon," Janet looked at the golden fox softly.
"Otamamon hasn't had any food since our shark incident," said Brendan. He turned slightly and looked in the village, "Maybe we can get some food from them."
Kevin stood. His lavender eyes flashed and he gave a grin and he turned. "I'll be right back."
The others looked at him and sighed as the boy disappeared into the village of thatched houses. It only took a second and Kevin returned with an armful of fruit. He handed an apple to Otamamon and an orange to Renamon. He passed fruit out to the other digimon. He then passed the remaining fruit out to the others, giving himself the last one.
"When we go…" Steven said between bites. "Mark I want you and Cupimon to stay behind…"
"What?" Mark looked up and pushes his glasses back, "No, way, I'm going too…"
"I said, 'stay'," Steven cut off his brother, "Cupimon would not be much in a fight against something like Assaultmon. If he can cut Saberdramon down so easily think of what he would do to Cupimon…plus…if you stay here and things go bad, you are our trump card and you can go and look for help…"
Mark was going to protest but he looked down at Cupimon and gulped. He nodded slowly and took a bite out of his apple, "Ok, but you guys have to promise to come back safely…"
"Of course, why wouldn't we?" smiled Kevin. The young man stood. "I mean we go in grab Amy and then we run out!"
"I think you are vastly underestimating the situation, Kevin," said Brenda quietly. He laid his finished off fruit on the ground. "I mean we don't know the extent of the cave or the type of defenses that are in place…"
"Don't worry, I'm sure our digimon can handle anything if we work together," smiled Kevin. His dark hair wafted slightly in the breeze.
"But…" Brendan started but Kevin gave him a look that silenced the tech boy and Brendan kept his thoughts to himself.
"Are we going to do it?" Jason asked in huffed voice. "Or are we waiting for tomorrow…"
"Oh, you better not wait till tomorrow!" shouted Amy's voice from Brendan's digivice. The children jumped a little.
"Oops, left it on," Brendan gave an embarrassed giggle.
"Forgot it was on? No you aren't shutti…." Brendan pressed the two buttons shutting off Amy's voice in mid sentence.
"Right…so we should go," said Steven. The others stood up. "I think we should get her back as soon as possible…The longer we wait the more impatient this guy will get, and the more likely he'll come here and try and whomp on us…"
"Kevin's right," said Janet. She looked at the others, "We don't know what would happen to Amy if we leave her."
Otamamon digivolved to Seadramon and Renamon digivolved to Youkomon, upon the direction of their partners. The children, save Mark, and their digimon, save Cupimon, climbed on.
"We'll be right back," said Steven as he clung to Seadramon. "Stay in the village and don't go anywhere!"
"Ok, ok, ok," grumbled Mark as he sat on the ground and watched the others fly off towards the mountain.
"You're the human boy named Mark…" said a small voice behind Mark as Seadramon and Youkomon disappeared around the side of the mountain.
Mark turned it was a small red dinosaur fox like digimon. Many more like it were behind the digimon. Mark nodded cautiously.
"Good," smiled the digimon. "General Assaultmon will pay handsomely for you…"
"What…!" Mark backed up a little but there was a group of giggling behind him. He turned and saw more of the red fox dinosaur digimon behind him.
"I'll take care of these guys!" Cupimon hopped in front of Mark. "Angel Ring!" circles of golden energy swept forward cutting a swath out of the little digimon army.
"Come on let's get out of here!" Mark grabbed up the marshmallow angel and ran into the forest.
"Hot Bite!" growled the little digimon as they leapt up and nipped Mark's arms and legs. The boy collapsed on the moist but hard ground. Cupimon went tumbling and rolled for a few feet before stopping.
"You can't hurt my partner!" shouted the little angel as he stood up.
"Looks like we have!" growled the little digimon as they stood to one side revealing bite shaped welts on the boy's arms and legs. "He's not going any where. General Assaultmon will wish to see the boy! We'll be paid a lot for the human…you should just go!"
"Never!" shouted Cupimon. The marshmallow angel leapt forward. Several rings formed around his head. "Angel Rings!" the little fox digimon leapt back at the attack.
Cupimon stood next to Mark. He knelt down and shook the child gently. The child opened his eyes. "Cupimon…are you ok?"
"Yes, but you aren't…" said Cupimon as he touched the welts gently. "We need to get you out of here…can you walk?"
The boy sat up a little and slowly got to his feet. The Gigimon were still creeping around in a slowly constricting ring. "You won't go any where! Hot Bite!" one of the bigger Gigimon leapt forward.
"Angel Ring!" shouted Cupimon as unleashed a halo of energy at the oncoming attacker. Cupimon pushed Mark out of the way as the small fire digimon bit through the ring and pressed forward with his fangs ready to bite again. The Gigimon bit Cupimon on the arm and growled. Cupimon swept his free hand up and formed a ring in it and used the circle of energy like a tennis racket and slapped the red digimon off of him. "I have to get these guys off of us…" whispered Cupimon. He held up his hands sorely. "Angel Dust!" puffs of white powder washed over the group of red Gigimon. The group of digimon growled collectively. They slowly dropped down and started to drift to sleep, all but the large Gigimon. He growled angrily and a red glow filled him. His body grew and his fox like tail turned into a more dinosaur like tail. His head gained a lizard like snout and his front legs turned into long forearms.
"Gigimon digivolve to Guilmon!" growled the digimon as he stepped forward. He was a human sized dinosaur. "Rock Breaker!" growled the dinosaur as he slammed his claws down in front of Cupimon. A large blast of dust shot forward and there was a large dent in the ground where Guilmon had struck.
"Run Mark!" shouted Cupimon. "I'll keep this guy busy!" The boy nodded and ran.
"Pyro Sphere!" growled Guilmon as he shot a ball of fire at Cupimon. The small angel was sent tumbling backward by the blast.
"Angel Ring!" shouted Cupimon as he rolled and he flicked a ring around Guilmon's mouth. Cupimon nodded and then ran off after Mark.
"Pyro Sphere!" a burst of fire shot past them.
"Guilmon must have broken free," whispered Cupimon. It hadn't taken him long to catch up to his limping partner.
"What are we going to do?" asked Mark quietly. He looked down at Cupimon.
"We're going to keep running and fighting until the others have returned," replied Cupimon as he turned and fired off several rings of power at Guilmon as he backpedaled.

Seadramon swept around as they came up to the cave. It was a huge orifice on the side of the mountain and easily accommodated a group of Champion digimon. Kevin looked over at Jason with a little bit of worry.
"This is starting to smell a little fishy," called Kevin to the boy in the cream colored clothes.
"Maybe it's the sardine in your shoe!" shouted Brendan. Tapirmon giggled loudly.
"Come on guys…" whined Kevin with a tinge of anger in his voice. "I'm serious this is starting to look odd!"
"Don't tell me you're afraid of caves!" called Jason over his shoulder.
"It's not that!" shouted Kevin. He looked up at the cave. "It's just that it seems like we're being asked into the parlor by the spider is all…"
"Yeah…" said the others as Seadramon and Youkomon slid into the cave.
It was dark. The rock outcroppings pointed sharply from the floor and roof. It was like a large stone cathedral. Brendan directed the two champion digimon with shouts. They turned left at the first fork in the cave and then they turned right. The large caverns seemed to almost hollow out the mountain.
"They must be abandoned mines," whispered Brendan as they glided deeper. Suddenly flickers of light appeared around the edges of the cave. Large luminescent mushrooms gripped the edges of the cave. They gave off an eerie greenish blue glow. "She should be right about here…" said Brendan. They turned a corner and entered a huge chamber. It was brightly lit. A large Plexiglas sphere was on a platform in the center of the chamber. There in was Amy.
"GET ME OUT OF HERE!" shouted the girl as she beat on the sphere impatiently.
"Blunt force won't work on Plexiglas…" said Brendan quietly. "It's like plastic steel! Maybe not blunt force…"
"What?" shouted the others loudly.
"Well if things are heated they expand and when they are cooled they contract…." Explained Brendan. "If we heat and cool the ball fast enough it should shatter!"
"That might work…" whispered Jason. He patted Seadramon on the head. "Go for it!"
"Ice Blast!" growled Seadramon as he fired a wave of winter at Amy and the plastic bubble.
"Go now Youkomon!" shouted Janet.
"JAenr…."
"JUST WAIT!" shouted Amy. "Hello, is it bad enough I'm an icicle, do I have to be boiled too?"
"It's the only way!" shouted Brendan.
"Did you think this through?" returned Amy. She was growling.
"We could spend years trying to break through that without any progress," replied Brendan. "Now just hold tight it may hurt but it's the only way…"
Amy folded her arms and glowered angrily in the backlit Plexiglas bubble. Seadramon recoiled a little an opened his mouth and unleashed a blast of arctic wind that turned the ball blue with frost.
"Now!" shouted Brendan.
"Jaenryuu!" growled Youkomon and she released a pair of twin, entwining dragons of fire that swallowed the ball up.
The Plexiglas cracked badly down the middle and then shattered. Amy tumbled out laying on the platform.
"I hurt…" whispered Amy as she looked up at the bright ceiling of the cavern.
"OH Amy!" Penguinmon leapt down and hugged the girl avidly. "I was so worried! I'm so sorry I didn't want you to get captured! But he was so strong!"
Amy patted Penguinmon's head. "It's ok…" she sighed softly. "He is very powerful and he has some sort of transporter thing…"
"And?" Brendan leapt down next to Amy. "What else?"
"He has this sensor thing and knows where everyone was!" replied Amy. She sighed again. She blinked. "But something was broken or something…he couldn't keep tracking us…."
"None of that will manner now…" chuckled a cold metallic voice. Seadramon, Youkomon, Amy and Brendan looked to the entrance of the cavern. A large metallic digimon stood there. He had a silver body like a horse and an equally silver humanoid torso. Two golden eyes glimmered from his head. His two arms were nothing more than cannons. "I will destroy you now…and then I won't have to track you anymore…" He lowered his right arm. It glowed bright red.
"Ice Blast!" roared Seadramon as he unleashed his ice attack.
"Jaenryuu!" the nine tailed, purple fox sent her twin dragon strike at the new comer.
"Pathetic organic vermin…" growled Assaultmon. The digimon stepped forward unharmed.
"Vermin!" shouted Amy she leapt to her feet. "You have one of those pathetic organic vermin in your headquarters!" Amy clenched her fists and growled.
"Ah, well…unfortunately it seems some vermin are a necessary evil," replied Assaultmon. He recharged his cannon, "Mecha Norimon, Tankmon, and Guardromon don't oil themselves, but that is none of your business! Now die quietly!"
"Never!" Kevin and Snow Agumon jumped down. Steven and Michelle were right behind him. Brendan stood up and clenched his fists.
"Let's show this guy the punishment for picking on one of us!" called Steven to the others. They all nodded.
"Snow Agumon digivolve to Shima Unimon," The small white dinosaur morphed into the large red masked zebra.
"Ryuudamon digivolve to Ginryuumon!" the small black lizard glowed and turned into a long necked four legged black dragon digimon with Ryuudamon's bladed helmet.
"Labramon digivolve to D'Arcmon!" the small retriever shot into the air turning into the canine angel in Native American like raiment of yellow cloth with red symbols that fell around her legs and chest. A red hooded shawl swept over her shoulders. Her four wings extended out and flapped once to help her gain altitude.
"Tapirmon digivolve to Dobermon!" the small elephantine digimon glowed a deep blue and warped into the large Doberman pinscher with the spiked spine. The large dog growled angrily as he stepped forward; his claws clicking on the cavern floor.
"We're gonna get our respect back," said Amy she stepped forward. She looked down at Penguinmon.
"Penguinmon digivolve to Saberdramon!" the blue penguin drew her wings together as she morphed into a large, black raven.
"Everyone together!" growled Ginryuumon. "Armor Piercing Blade!" A blade of light flew from the helmet of the long necked dragon.
"Wild Thunder!" Shima Unimon swept his horn forward releasing several lashes of blue lightning.
"Schwarz Strahl!" growled Dobermon as he fired a beam of black energy forward at the Assaultmon.
"Mach Shadow!" crowed the raven as she flashed her wings open and released several pulses of black plasma.
"Battlement d'Amour!" D'Arcmon drew several bobbles of light together and shot them forward as one large sphere of light.
"Jaenryuu!" growled Youkomon as the helix of dragons flashed forward in a fiery blast.
"Ice Blast!" growled Seadramon opening his mouth firing a blast of frost at Assaultmon.
"You infestations are getting annoying," growled Assaultmon as he stepped forward, "I guess I'm the exterminator! Justice Massacre!" red orbs blasted forward and slammed into the champions. The large digimon were sent flying against the ceiling, walls and floor of the cavern.
"I can't move…" growled Shima Unimon.
"Nor can I…" growled Dobermon.
"Something about his attack!" shouted Brendan. He ran up to Dobermon. "It must do something to your digi-code; I don't know maybe it is frozen it like a big computer…"
"That's not helping us," grumbled Janet. The girl knelt next to Youkomon. "Are you ok?"
"I can't move…" whimpered the fox.
"Now to finish you all off!" growled Assaultmon and he leveled both of his cannons on the children. They glowed a vicious red.
"It can't end this way…" whispered Michelle quietly.

AN: Can it end this way? But if it can't, who will stop Assaultmon?
Thanks to Alforce...as always.
