Preparations are made
"Renamon!" Rika shouted as she ran towards her fallen partner.
"He." Bullmon stomps the ground and charges towards the running Rika.
Suddenly a piece of cold metal appeared in front of Bullmon. "Attacking the defenseless? Not very honorable." Leomon growled.
"Shut it." Bullmon rammed Leomon headfirst and than flipped him over his head using his horns. Leomon braced himself and managed to bring himself to a stop. Pivoting on an outstretched leg he turned to face Bullmon. "So," Bullmon commented watching Leomon. "The kitty has some fight in him."
"Fist of the Beast King!" A blast of orange energy erupted from Leomon's fist and smacked Bullmon in his side, sending him skiing into some trees.
"Fool," Bullmon huffed under his breath before charging at the humanoid cat. Lemon jumped over the bull and raised his sword, ready to strike, Bullmon simply transferred his momentum to his hips and whacked the lion with those before truing and head butting him for good measure.
"Lightning Claw!" Gatomon's attack ripped into the Bull's head shredding some of the armor on it.
"I thought you said these guys were stronger than their level suggested." Davies commented to Ken as he watched the struggle unfolding before them.
"Well the Floramon was I wonder why this is different…" Ken trailed off.
Davies held out his D-3. "Well than lets get him!"
"Right Veemon Digivolve to…" Veemon became incased in a bright light and emerged as a man sized dragon with white wings. A dangerous looking horn adorned the tip of his snout, and on his chest was a large V, with two detached stubs making it like an X at the same time. "ExVeemon! Now take this! Vee Laser!" The markings on his chest started to glow before releasing a stream of energy at Bullmon.
The blast caught Bullmon on the side of the head but he quickly shrugged it off. "Tail Whip!" Bullmon's tail began to faintly glow as he smashed it into Leomon sending the Champion flying. He than jumped up on his hind legs again sending Gatomon who was still attacking his head rolling onto his back he than quickly moved onto his forelegs catapulting Gatomon off him.
"Alright Renamon lets show this clown what he gets for underestimating us." Rika brought a out a card and her D-Power.
"Right Rika." Renamon commented brushing herself off and narrowing her eyes.
"Digi-modify, Digivolution Activate!" As Rika finished slashing the card Renamon become incased in a shimmering egg of energy.
"Renamon Digivolve to Kyubimon!" Even more fox like in this from Renamon was now on all fours, with small flames coming off her paws. Nine large tails flushed out proudly from her back, each ending in a white flame. A total of five Ying-yang symbols adorned the fox, one on the top of each leg and one on her forehead. "Dragon Wheel!" Kyubimon transformed into a flaming white wheel and lunched herself at Bullmon, hitting him on the head, after it hit the wheel jumped back and transformed back to Kyubimon., the blast hardly left hardly a brunt mark on the armored Digimon. Kyubimon's eyes widened "How!"
"Guardian Barrage!" a small swam of smiling missiles lunched from Guardromon and slammed into Bullmon.
"Arrg!" Bullmon dug his hoofs into the ground quickly slowing himself to a skid his face constricting in pain.
"This doesn't make any sense." Ken thought. "With Gatomon, the Leomon, and the Guardromon it's like a normal Champion versus Champion fight, both sides taking damage and dealing their own. But with ExVeemon and that female tamers Digimon's Champion from it's a repeat of when Floramon fought our Digimon's Rookie forms." He turned his head to Wormmon. "Ready to help?"
"Of course Ken."
"Alright, Davies." He called to the leader of the second generation of Digi-destined "Ready to show him who he's dealing with?"
"Yeah!" was the enthusiastic response.
"Right." Ken brought out his D-3
"Wormmon Digivolve to, Stingmon!"
"Right ExVeemon ready to take it a step further?" Davies asked his partner as he once again brought out his D-3.
"Always am!"
"Than lets do this, Ken?"
"Right!"
"Stingmon DNA Digivolve to…" Stingmon leapt into the air becoming surrounded by a ball of energy.
"ExVeemon DNA Digivolve to…" ExVeemon leapt towards Stingmon, also surrounded by a ball of energy. The to glowing spheres met in midair and merged into a single sphere.
"Paildramon!" The new Digimon was the same size as ExVeemon, and also possessed his tail wings and legs. He had green armor over his chest, he had two large black hands, each with a deadly spike on the wrists and dangerous looking claws. His face had a white mouthpiece and a red mask covering his eyes. "Take this!" The new Digimon spoke with the voices of both ExVeemon and Stingmon. "Desperado Blaster!" Two rectangular objects clipped to Paildramon's waist and poured a stream of blue energy like bullets at Bullmon.
"Uff!" The blasts hit dead center and reduced Bullmon's red cap to tatters and had blown away chunks of amour on his back. Bullmon glared angrily at Paildramon "I'll deal with you in a second, but first…." He turned to look at Gatomon who was had just managed to pick herself back up. "Matador Dash!" A light glow of energy encompassed Bullmon as he charged at Gatomon. With a mighty head-butt he sent the cat flying once again.
"Gatomon!" Kari ran to her partner, bracing her head she checked the vaccine Digimon for any signs of damage. "Oh my…" A series of scorch marks were ingrained into the stomach of Gatomon, and some of her fur had been brunt clean off. "Are you Okay?"
"Fine." Gatomon growled. "Let me at him." Before Kari could protest Gatomon jumped to her feet and charged at Bullmon. "Lightning Claw!" With a flying leap Gatomon landed the attack on Bullmon's back, in the same spot that Paildramon had hit. The attack made contact with bear flesh and ripped some off.
"Arrg!" Bullmon withered in pain as the wound on his back begins to leak data. "Bastards."
"Language!" Guardromon scolded. "Children are present. Warning Laser!" Two red beams of energy stuck Bullmon on the side and melted through his amour before he had a chance to respond.
Bullmon grunted and did his best to block out the pain and turned to face Guardromon and charged at him. As he reached him Bullmon reared up on his hind legs and than brought all of his weight down on Guardromon's feet, crushing them. He than pivoted on his forelegs and smacked Guardromon with his hind hips knocking the robotic Champion out. But Bullmon had not come out of the engagement unharmed two holes had been burned into the front of his amour during his charge and the smell of brunt fur wafted out of them.
"Alright lets see big and ugly take this!" Rika murmured as she pulled out another card from her deck. "Counter Attack Activate!" Kyubimon started to glow for a second before the energy accumulated in a sphere. The sphere lunched its self at Bullmon. As it hit him he became encompassed with electric fire his whole body shaking in huge convolutions.
As the smoke cleared Bullmon was still standing, smoking and most of his armor destroyed, but still standing. "Time to end this." Paildramon announced. "Sting Strike!" A single spike extended from Paildramon's arm as he dived at Bullmon, aiming straight at his head, but at he last moment Bullmon managed to shift most of his head out of the way. The attack still hit however and left a huge gash on the right side of Bullmon's face.
"Bullmon!" A voice suddenly shouted in the bull's ear. "This is Searchmon coming over your communicator, my sensors are reading a huge energy lose from you!"
"That's one way of putting it." Bullmon thought glancing at his still bleeding wound.
"You are to report back to base immediately! Searchmon out."
"Fine," Bullmon muttered, and then looked up at the opponents arranged before him. "We'll have to finish this some other time." He than quickly retreated back into the undergrowth of the forest.
"Hey come back here!" Davies shouted at the retreating figure.
"Let him go." Ken said. "From the looks of him he won't be in any condition to bother us for awhile. And I think we have a few things to figure out."
"What did you find?"
Bullmon was startled for a second, he hadn't been expecting to be briefed the second he returned to base, but there was Honeybeemon blocking the entrance. "What can't a retried Digimon get his wounds healed before he gives his last report?"
"No, now tell me what did you find?" There was none of the usual humor found in Honeybeemon's voice.
"Very well." Bullmon gave a snort before he continued. "You were right about there being something odd about those Digimon, at lest some seem to be able to Digivolve on request."
"I am aware of this, what I want is greater detail."
"Could have told me this little fact before hand." Bullmon hissed. "Very well the "requested" Digivolutions, for lack of a better word seem weaker than a normal Digivolution."
"This is also known."
Bullmon could take this no more. "Than what the hell did you need me to do if you already know so damn much!" He exploded at Honeybeemon.
Honeybeemon was unaffected. "I need to know how they do it, now did you find out or not?"
"Yes, seems to be devices that some human kids are carrying. Also at lest two can do something like Jogress, though they refer to it as DNA Digivolution." He gave a harsh laugh. "Most be new to the place if they can't differentiate between Jogress and DNA Digivolution."
"Thank you." Honeybeemon gave a smile and moved out of Bullmon's way. Bullmon started towards the door. "Oh one other thing by no longer having a propose I didn't mean you could retire. Paralyze Sting!" Honeybeemon swooped in on Bullmon and stabbed his stinger right through the wound Paildramon had made on Bullmon's head, the stinger pierced straight through the Digimon's skull. As the bee removed his stinger from Bullmon the armored Digimon had completely frozen up. "Care to end it?"
"Of course my lord." A voice came from the doors as they opened. "Jamming Hertz!" A wave of energy emerged from the door and collided with Bullmon who seemed to faze in and out of existence, till finally he exploded into a cloud of quickly expending data.
"Very good Searchmon, now lets us prepare I do believe we have guests coming."
"Will you preserve his data as well my master?"
"No Demi Devimon it will not be necessary, all that I need to deal with the chosen are already in place."
"Well," Rika huffed as she walked towards the others finshing as she walked past Henry. "If the Floramon was a Rookie version of that guy I guess I can forgive you for having trouble with him."
"How kind of her." Terriermon scoffed.
"Now Terriermon," Henry scolded "you know that's just how she is."
"And," Rika added looking at the others. "Why didn't any of you guys do anything to help!"
"Um…"
"Well…"
"I guess we just figured that you had the situation under control." Tai offered sheepishly
"Some heroes." Rika commented.
"Anyway I think we should get going." Ryo suddenly stated.
"Oh no, you don't get out of giving us the lowdown that easily!" Rika shouted.
"But clearly our enemies know where we are now, and without further resources we could be in trouble if we stay here." Ryo snidely pointed out.
"Well if we need resources we could get them at that town." Gomamon said cutting off a reply from Rika.
"It was friendly?" Tai asked
"Well, yeah, the inhabitants are strange but not hostile." Gomamon answered.
"Well that settles that. Lets go!" Davis Shouted as he and Veemon took off ahead of everybody else.
A sweat-drop slid down T.K's head. "Reckless and restless as ever." He thought.
"Sir?" Demi Devimon called from a perch on the other side of the unlit room.
"Yes?"
"I've just gotten word from providence 82, they have reason to believe that the chosen are heading towards City 18239."
"Excellent. I shall have everything ready for their arrival."
Author's Notes: Before you say anything I am aware that Jogress is the Japanese name for DNA Digivolution, however in this case they refer to two distinct versions of merging two Digimon together to create one. Both of these methods have been used in other Digimon related merchandise and if you are familiar with aspects of Digimon outside of the anime you may know them, but time will tell. Anyway, on my use of swearing I will not be having the kids do it, for just that reason they're kids! But that doesn't mean adults can't swear, however even then I'll try only to use it in situations were one might swear, say in the heat of battle, now admittedly Bullmon had a bit of a potty mouth, but that was because he had the tamper of well a bull, a calmer character would use far fewer swears. Now, SalanTrong thanks for the review, but on who's shirt did I forget what r? If you could tell me I'll do my best to correct that mistake. And Remember please review!
