Chapter 9
He looks up into the sky; he finds Takato and Zoe circling them. He watches them for a while before looking around the group. They had headed southwest then just west. They plan on coming up from the south side of the enemy camp. They have been walking for an hour, and will some be getting closer.
He begins to get lost in his thoughts. 'This is Takato's first fight as Drakemon. I wonder just how strong he really is? I mean without using any cards. This will give us first hand information on just how strong he is. I've seen first hand just how strong his Black Fire and Black Fire Storm is, but what about hand to hand? This is going to be rough, on all of us.'
He snaps out when Takato and Zoe lands a bit ahead of them. They race to meet up with them. They soon find them waiting for them. He looks at Takato and really takes a look. Takato stands close to six feet in height. He notices that Takato's feet had four clawed toes on them. Then he looks at the way Takato's wings are folded. Even folded they were long, for tips when passed his butt for about five inches. He also remembers that when Takato's wings were spread out that they are broad, for maneuverability.
"Hey, we're almost there. We'll be walking with you guys until we engage the enemy." Takato says. Takuya answers, "Good, now just how far are they?" Zoe answers, "Just a few more miles, through that grove of trees." She points to the group of trees with purplish looking leaves.
They were standing in a field with bushes and flowers. The drop off point had been rocky part of this area. The main group had to walk through a forest, while they had to walk mostly through fields and small groves of trees. They didn't mind that they were out in the open, they could easily see if any Digimon were around. They just hope that the main forces haven't run into an ambush.
Soon they enter the forest that Zoe pointed at. They soon find the camp; they find that the camp looked quite clean and that there was this Gate that had Digimon waiting in front of. As they watch a portal opens just behind the Gate. As they watch a Digimon came through the portal, Takato uses his D-ark to get information on the Digimon.
Edemon
Mega level Digimon
Virus type
Android. Attacks are Brain Blast and Planet Destroyer.
Takato finish whispering the information. "So, this must be what they were getting ready for. An inspection, I guess this works out." Kouji says. He nods in agreement with his brother. "Now we just wait for Mercuremon's signal." Tommy states.
They watched, as the mega level Digimon is speaking with what they guess was the commander of the invasion force that's stationed here. The portal has closed, but they didn't pay it much attention to it. Their focus was on the mega. "We're going to delete that guy. It'll change somebody's idea of continuing to conquer the Digital World." Takuya says. He looks over at him and notices the serious look on Takuya's face. "Good plan, I hope we can pull it off." Takato says.
As the mega begins to walk in front of the line of Digimon that is standing in attention. Soon they turn to the east to see the main force attacking. They see Mercuremon glow and become Sakkakumon, that's their signal to attack.
(V)(V)(V)
He looks at just what Digimon that Mercuremon has become. He's heard of Sakkakumon from the Digidestine, but it was different to see him in person. Already Sakkakumon had beamed twenty enemies Digimon into his body.
He snaps out of it to find that the Digidestine are already attacking. He races after, running as fast as his legs can move. He notices that his strides are longer and that his speed has increased. He soon finds himself stopping a punch from a Togamon. He pushes the large cactus back and then leaps up and gives Togamon a spinning kick. This knocks the plant Digimon away, and then a palish Ogremon with ice coming out of his shoulders turns to attack him. Then the Digimon looks at his crest and then begins to back away from him. Then the Digimon yells out, "The Hazard! It's here! Everybody make a run for it!" With that said the Hyogamon turns and runs for it.
He looks around to find most of the enemy Digimon looking at his Hazard symbol. They all begin to back away, most just turn and run away deserting the battle. Soon all the enemy Digimon were on the run. Trying to get away from him. He just looks around to find that even his allies don't seem to get it.
He dodges a laser blast from the Edemon. "So, this is the Hazard that legends and myth talk about. Funny, I thought you'd be bigger and meaner looking. I guess your not at full power yet, might as well get rid of you before that happens."
The Edemon begins to aim again, but Takuya punches the mega. Everybody begins to focus their attack on the mega. Edemon just flicks some of their attacks away, and then he uses Black Fire Storm on the mega. That hits its mark, and then he moves into punch the mega only to be stopped by Kouichi.
"Don't get to close, we don't know just what he's capable of. Let us handle him, you did enough by just being here." Kouichi says, he nods and just relaxes. The other Digimon that were with them move over to where he was. Giving the Legendary Warriors enough room to battle with Edemon.
He just blinks and loses himself to his thoughts. Most were about just how he could over power a Togamon and about the fact that these Digimon seem to know about Guilmon.
(V)(V)(V)
He sighs as he notices that Takato relaxes. They were still a bit worried about just why every single Digimon ran scared when they looked at the symbol on Takato's crest. He had been in a fight with three ultimate level Digimon when that Digimon yelled out his warning.
Sakkakumon glows and the enemy Digimon that were trapped in him came out. They also took one look around and then turned and ran off. Soon Mercuremon stands there, in his human looking form.
"It seems that you stand alone." Mercuremon states. "Yip, all alone. You must be quite foolish to still be ready to fight all of us. Not that I mind one bit." Arbormon says. "I'm powerful enough to take you on. Once I'm through with you so-called 'Legendary Warriors.' I'll finish off that Hazard Digimon that's over there. I'll be declared a hero once I'm through with him. Then my name will be praised throughout the territories of the GL! But tell me this, just how did you deleted Grim?"
They all blinked at that. Takuya asks, "Grim? Who's Grim?" Edemon laughs at that, "The Alphamon, the knight that was to take over." They all look at each other, then he spoke, "You mean that knight that Takato deleted before he showed up?" "Takato? Which one of you is Takato?" Edemon demands, they all point at Takato, Zoe says, "He's Takato."
That made even Edemon just blink and he just stares at Takato, "You're saying that, the Hazard Digimon is responsible? That black Digimon with the wings?" Edemon waves a tentacle over in Takato's direction. "Yes he did! Bet you didn't count on that did you!" Tommy says proudly.
The Edemon just looks dumbfoundedly at Takato. Takato scratches the back of his head, looking nervous at all the attention he's getting. "Enough talk! Fight time!" Grumblemon yells and begins the attack using his hammer. It hits Edemon, who's was still recovering from everything he's learn within the last few minutes. He lands a few feet away and he then uses Brain Blast at the group, they all dodge. They each begin to use their attack on Edemon.
Edemon sends everyone flying away. He looks focus and ready for any thing. "Hey Takuya, maybe we should try to fuse our human and beast spirits." Kouji says to Takuya. "It's worth a shot! Alright, let's give it a go!"
The others decide to attack to give them time to try to fuse their spirits together. He slides Digivolves into JagerLeowemon and uses his Ebony Blast on the mega. The others combine their attacks into one and this greatly weakens Edemon.
They stop their next round of attack when they notice that both Takuya and Kouji forms glow. Soon they watch as Aldamon and BeoWolfmon stand where Takuya and Kouji had stood as Agunimon and Lobomon.
"Impress of, but can you really think you can defeat me! I'm a mega level Digimon! I'm at the highest level! You can't possible believe that you can delete me!" Edemon charges the Warriors of Fire and Light.
"Solar Wind Destroyer!" Yells Takuya. "Frozen Hunter!" Yells Kouji. Kouji's attack froze Edemon and Takuya's Solar Wind Destroyer shatters the frozen mega. They watch as data floats around before just disappearing.
He and his friends become human again and they just look around. They just then look to the east and then they being to walk that way. Soon the other Digimon and Takato follow, the silents continues.
----------------------------------------------------------
He looks over at Takato; they were on their way back to Avalon's Gate. Everybody had just looked lost in their own little worlds. Takuya had grinned at FlaWizardmon and said that they finish their mission. He moves over closer, feeling that Takato might want to talk about it.
"So, what's up?" He whispers to Takato. Takato looks up in surprised and then give him a small smile. "Just thinking about just why they seem to know about the Hazard symbol. It's weird; I always thought that Guilmon was the only one with that symbol. Now there seems to be others that have seen it. I just thought that I imaged this symbol when I was drawing Guilmon. I don't get it, why were they all afraid of it? It's like they heard ghost stories about it." He looks over at his brother, Kouji was with WereGarurumon. They seem to be talking about what to tell the three rulers, Seraphimon, Orphanimon, and Cherubimon.
He sighs, "Different realities, I would imagine that different Digimon have shown up with that symbol all over the different realities. Who knows? We'll just have to wait, maybe we'll get the answers that you seek or maybe not. The futures ever changing, so who knows just what will happen." Takato grins and says, "Thanks Kouichi. I need to hear that. You're right; the answers are out there. I just hope I find them. I miss my home and my other friends. I don't know if I miss being human, but I do miss Guilmon. I hope that we find away to split up. I really miss just watching him goof off with Calamon or any other Digimon. I'm going to try to sleep, could you wake me when we get there?"
He nods and watches as Takato lies down. Soon he could tell that his asleep. Ranamon comes over and sits to his left side. "Rough day, huh? Look at him, kind of cute looking when he sleeps. So, what's up?" He looks over at Ranamon and then says, "Takato's wonder just why those other Digimon ran away, like their very lives depended on it. That kind of makes you wonder just what all the fuss was all about. So, you do know that he might have a girlfriend back home?"
He changes the subject. Ranamon notices what he's doing, but doesn't press the issue. She answers, "It was only a peck on the cheek, nothing more or less. That doesn't mean he's spoken for, like Takuya. I think he's very handsome. He's differently the noble type; he's kind and very caring. I don't see just how he could put up with Calamon and Lucemon like he does. Besides, she's not around and there's no harm flirting with him. Who knows just what might happen." He chuckles a bit at that. "I'll give you that he's noble, kind, and caring. I don't know about the handsome part though, I guess I'll have to take your word on that." She looks at him and then smiles and says jokingly, "I don't think you brother would approve of Takato as a brother-in-law, I believe that's the correct term. I also don't think you go that way."
She gives him a wink and gets up and leaves him with Takato. He blushes at that, he knows that she was joking with him. He might have a girlfriend if everything continues when he gets back. He's just working up the courage to ask her on a date. He sighs and notices that Kouji and WereGarurumon had finish speaking with each other. His twin is looking over at him. He waves a little at him and Kouji just nods. They both then look out a window, both wondering just what's next.
