Man, how fast am I catching up?I just want to give you Chapter 8 of "Opportunities" as my appreciation to all of you who were reviewing me. I'm not sure how long this story is going to be but I can assure you that it'll end when the Digidestined win against Kikaimon. Before I give you the chapter, replies to reviewers:
Triceramax MegazordI really like the way you're complimenting this story. You're so nice to me, unlike Cloaked Fox. She's been really getting under my skin and Just a Reviewer wouldn't stop nagging me. You have no idea how much I absolutely hate being nagged. Please check out Chapter 2 of "Legacy Of The Transformed". Thanks for your support anyway.

I noticed the reviews in "Legacy Of The Transformed". I really like it that you're always complimenting me. Thank you.
Okay, shutting up for right now. Here's Chapter 8.
Opportunities
Chapter 7: RhinoKabuterimon VS. Ikazuchidramon
Soon, nighttime had arrived in the Digital World and the Digidestined and their new Digimon friends had decided to spend the night before resuming their search for the other Element Dragons. Tabby was nice enough to stop for the night so that the Digidestined would spend the night so that they would be well rested for when they face against the next member of the Element Dragons. They had also collected a whole bushel of meat apples for their supper because they knew that they couldn't face against the Element Dragons on an empty stomach. After they had finished their dinner, they all went to sleep, hoping to be ready for the other Element Dragons in the morning. The only one who wasn't sleeping was JP, because he knew that he started to feel useless that he couldn't Fusion Evolve like the others. He had a lot of things on his mind then he got the idea that since he would be the next one to Fusion Evolve, he would face against the next Element Dragon, Ikazuchidramon, hoping to acquire the ability to do so.
"Those guys think that I'm useless to them. They think that I'm worthless, always thinking about food and always trying to impress Zoë. I guess the only way for me to prove that I'm worthy to be in the team is to go off on my own and try to find the next Element Dragon," JP said to himself as he got up.
After putting his shoes on and taking a few meat apples with him if he got hungry, he set off into the forest to find Ikazuchidramon. He walked and walked until he came upon a very familiar factory; It was Wind Factory Incorporated, the very same place where JP found his Spirit and Spirit Evolved into Beetlemon for the first time to finish off Snimon for good. After entering, JP looked around as he walked through the corridors but he couldn't find any sign of Ikazuchidramon or his captives. Then, there was the sound of a bobcat screech that caught his ear then he ran off in the direction of where the sound was coming from. Then, he made it to the same room where he destroyed Snimon after becoming Beetlemon and looked up to see an electric cage confining two Digimon. Two of them were bobcats with the first one looking at Socrates the bobcat from Adventures From The Book Of Virtues having Socrates' orange fur coat, bobcat-like ears, yellow eyes, and white ruffly fur on his chest and cheeks except he had blue and green rooster tail feathers for a tail and feet that bore an amazing resemblance to the legendary Zeromaru the Veedramon. The second one looked like the orange bobcat Digimon except he had black-gray fur instead of the usual orange, crimson eyes instead of the usual orange, and had brown and gray rooster tail feathers for a tail.

(A/N: Small FYI, Socramon and BlackSocramon are both brothers in this story.)
"What are you doing up there?" JP asked the two bobcat Digimon.
"Are you the human that uses the Spirits of Thunder?" Socramon asked.
"That would be me," JP said while pointing at himself proudly.
"If I were you, I would get out of here fast because the Element Dragon that captured us is known to be very strong so ordinary strength is no good against him," BlackSocramon said fearfully.
Suddenly, a blast of electricity flew out of nowhere and almost hit JP but he quickly leapt to the side and watched as the electric blast hit the wall. JP looked over to the direction the electric blast came from and gasped at what he saw. Standing in front of him was a really big Digimon that looked like a dragon with gold skin, had yellow claws on his hands and feet, a pair of wings on his back that looked like they were made of electricity, a pair of horns on his head that looked the prongs of an electric plug, and dark gold eyes. The Digimon let out a roar that sounded very much like electricity crackling which caused JP to cringe in fear.

Name: Ikazuchidramon
Level: Ultimate
Type: Data
Attacks: Dynamo Laser, Spark Bomb
(Socramon) This is what we've been trying to tell you! Ikazuchidramon is the strongest out of the rest of the Element Dragons alongside Arcticdramon! Be careful where you're standing because his thunder-based attacks are strong enough to cause even paralysis! Take our word for it, there is no messing with this guy AKA the Thunder Dragon!

Ikazuchidramon gave JP a death glare and said, "I was told by Master Kikaimon that Kazedramon, the love of my life, was destroyed by a group of humans. And it must be YOU who killed her!"
"What are you talking about? I didn't kill Kazedramon!" JP shouted in anger.
"Silence, human! Will you face against me or not?" Ikazuchidramon asked.
"If it's a battle you want, then it's a battle that you'll get," JP said as he pulled out his D-Tector.
"Are you crazy? He'll squish you like a Tentomon!" BlackSocramon shouted in fear.
"I'm the Warrior of Thunder. I won against Snimon when I became Beetlemon and I won against Grumblemon when I became MetalKabuterimon. If things get too hairy, then I'll just have to come up with a backup plan," JP said to himself.
Wasting no time, JP Spirit Evolved into Beetlemon and he was ready to fight Ikazuchidramon. The Thunder Dragon looked at Beetlemon and started laughing at him, thinking that Beetlemon was a weakling. This angered Beetlemon so much that he flew in and punched Ikazuchidramon really hard in the chest with a Thunder Fist attack.

Soon, morning came in the forest and Zoë was the first one to wake up. She looked around and saw that JP was nowhere to be found. Zoë was very confused about why JP would just leave in the middle of the night.
"That's strange? I wonder where JP went? JP, where are you?" Zoë asked as she started to look for JP.
Then, she found a note written in the dirt. The note read:
I'm going off to find Ikazuchidramon so that I can acquire my Advanced form. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine.
JP
"JP wouldn't have really gone off to do that, would he? What if he did?" Zoë asked herself before running back to the others. "Everyone! Wake up! We've got an emergency!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Lightning Blitz!" Beetlemon flew in with electricity crackling on his horn and hit Ikazuchidramon but that only angered him even more.
"See if you can endure this now, Beetlemon! Dynamo Laser!" Ikazuchidramon tilted his head back as the prongs on his head started crackling with electricity then fired an electrified beam that struck Beetlemon causing him to fall to the ground. "That'll teach you for killing Kazedramon!"
"Hey, open your eyes, pal! I didn't kill Kazedramon! JetSilphymon did!" Beetlemon shouted.
"Get up, Beetlemon! You have to move faster!" Socramon shouted.
"Yeah! I've seen Numemon move faster than that!" BlackSocramon shouted after that.
Beetlemon knew that he didn't want to give up so he endured the paralysis in his body from Ikazuchidramon's attack and Slide Evolved to MetalKabuterimon. The giant tank-beetle Digimon rolled towards Ikazuchidramon and fired a Bolo Thunder attack that blasted the Thunder Dragon into the wall with such force. Ikazuchidramon picked himself up used a Spark Bomb attack, opening his mouth and firing a ball of electricity, that blasted MetalKabuterimon into the wall causing him to revert back into JP again.
"Oh no! MetalKabuterimon!" Socramon and BlackSocramon shouted altogether in horror.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hurry up, Tabby! We have to find JP!" Takuya shouted.
"I'm hurrying! I'm hurrying! But I think that human has gone psychotic enough to do something foolish such as face against Ikazuchidramon unprepared!" Tabby shouted.
The others had gotten waken up by Zoë's alarming call so they all boarded Tabby so that he could take them to where JP was fighting against Ikazuchidramon. The Digidestined hoped that they wouldn't be too late when they arrived to where Ikazuchidramon was keeping captive the other Digimon. Tabby speeded across the Trailmon tracks as fast as a regular Trailmon would until he finally made it to Wind Factory Incorporated.
"Wind Factory Incorporated at last! At least that portly human would probably be able to Fusion Evolve like you guys," Tabby said as he sped towards the factory.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Come on, human! You gotta get up!" Socramon shouted.
"Yeah! You can't give up now!" BlackSocramon shouted after that.
"Be quiet, pipsqueaks! After I kill this human, I'm killing you too!" Ikazuchidramon shouted as he walked towards JP.
Before, Ikazuchidramon could blast JP into oblivion, Tabby had busted through the wall of the factory just as a gold glow came from the cage that Socramon and BlackSocramon were confined in. The others came out from one of the carts to see the gold glow gloat from the electric cage and float in the air. Suddenly, a beam of gold light shot out and entered JP's D-Tector, causing him to be covered in gold energy then be instantly healed. When the glow died down, it was a gold stone that had the Kanji symbol of Thunder adorned on it in dark gold and it went into JP's D-Tector.
"This cannot be!" Ikazuchidramon shouted.
"Time for a real shock, pal!" JP shouted as he held out his D-Tector, as the Kanji symbol of Thunder appeared on the screen. "Execute now! Fusion Evolution!"
The Human and Beast Spirits of Thunder encircled JP before transforming him into a Digimon that looked like a cross between a triceratops and a rhinoceros beetle with blue armor, 6 legs like a regular insect, gold adorned on his sides and on his feet, and a long gold nose horn in the middle of his face. When he landed on the platform, he tilted his horn to the left before firing a beam of electricity at the screen.
"RhinoKabuterimon!"
"Look, JP Fusion Evolved!" Takuya shouted.
"Yes, to RhinoKabuterimon, the Advanced Warrior of Thunder," Bokomon said while looking in his book.
"I guess I really did underestimate that human. How uncouth of me," Tabby said.

"WHAT? I've failed Master Kikaimon! That's it! Burn in hell, RhinoKabuterimon! Dynamo Laser!" Ikazuchidramon tilted his head back as the prongs on his head started crackling with electricity and fired an electrified energy beam that struck RhinoKabuterimon but this time, he was unaffected.
"Are you kidding me? That barely tickled! Thunder Laser!" RhinoKabuterimon tilted his horn upwards as it started crackling with electricity and fired a beam of electricity that struck Ikazuchidramon causing him to scream in great pain.
"How is this happening? I'm supposed to be the strongest member of the Element Dragons! Why am I losing?" Ikazuchidramon asked in anger.
"Because you may have the strength and the advantage but there's one thing that you don't have to win! A heart! So say goodbye! Condensor Storm!" RhinoKabuterimon produced a bunch of electrical spheres on his body then sent them out as they each struck Ikazuchidramon causing him to scream in even more pain as his Fractal Code was exposed.
"Ikazuchidramon, you lost because you're too cocky and overconfident," RhinoKabuterimon said as he pulled out his D-Tector. "So, may my thunder break through the darkness and purify you! Fractal Code Digitize!" He took away the Fractal Code turning Ikazuchidramon into a Digi-Egg that flew off in the distance.
As soon as Ikazuchidramon's Digi-Egg flew out from the factory, the electric cage confining Socramon and BlackSocramon disappeared as they both started jumping around happily. They were very happy that RhinoKabuterimon was able to defeat the great Thunder Dragon and save them from his wrath. After that was over with, RhinoKabuterimon reverted back into JP again.
The two bobcat Digimon were so happy that they were dancing around singing, "Ikazuchidramon is finally gone! Ikazuchidramon is finally gone! Ikazuchidramon is finally gone!"
"Well done, human. I'm very sorry for underestimating you. You really handled yourself like a hero out there," Tabby said while smiling.
"You really think so, Tabby? I'm touched," JP said.
"JP, you have a lot of explaining about why you left without telling us," Koji said while crossing his arms across his chest.
JP had no choice but to explain about why he left without telling his friends where he was going. So, he explained to the others that he wanted to prove that he was worthy to be in the team so he had to go off on his own to find Ikazuchidramon. He figured that if he would acquire the ability to Fusion Evolve while fighting against Ikazuchidramon, then he would be even more special to the team and be more than a dimwit who mostly thought about food as well as being the more portly one out of the rest of the group.
"JP, we still like you the way you are," Takuya said.
"Really?" JP asked.
"Yes, JP. We know that you tried hard to be worthy to us, but you're special just the way you're born," Koichi said.
"Awwww, thanks, guys. That really touches me," JP said while smiling.
"Well, guys. Instead of just standing here talking about being special, can we please get out of this place?" Tabby asked.
While the others were laughing, JP thought to himself, 'So, I traveled here to fight Ikazuchidramon just for nothing? Maybe I really am special just the way I'm born. Other than that, I should be glad that I'm finally able to Fusion Evolve.'
