Chapter 13
They were on their way to assault a local group of Elite scouts serving Lord Arthas, it seems that until they came with a name for the mastermind of this whole thing, they didn't have a clue as to who's in charge. Now they did and he wonders just who this Lord Arthas is that so many seem grim about this whole thing.
They were told that the group that they're up against were mostly all ultimate level Digimon. They number fifteen in total and their leader is a ShadowWereGarurumon. A good five Digimon were NeoDevimon, four were Karatenmon, two were Wisemon, and the remaining three Digimon were Pumpkinmon. He just hopes that he's ready to Digivolve, for he has a feeling that he'll need to Digivolve for this mission.
He's nervous about it, though. Chaud has much more practice then him and he didn't want to faint during this battle. He tries to calm his mind to his fears and focus on what need to be done. They soon encounter their first guard; it looks to be a kid in a Halloween costume. He watches as Chaud motions for him to continue, for as KendoKangmon, Chaud can handle things. Jinx remains with Chaud though; he didn't mind it that much though.
He soon finds himself in the middle of the enemy camp. Soon he's fighting for his life as he dodges punches and other attacks from various Digimon. He bites down as his send flying through the air. He moves and then rolls as he lands. He recovers as quickly as he can and uses Beast Fist on the closest wizard Digimon.
He still remembers Set's advice to him about growing stronger. He promises to try his best and take what comes. He's not going to be afraid of the consequences any more! He begins to glow and before he knows it, he's says, "Kovumon Digivolve to … Ligermon!" He finds himself on all fours and the looks on the enemy Digimon's faces were not just stunned, but awe.
He doesn't have time to think about his new form, only to attack before they recover from their stupor. He calls out, "Desert Rage!" Winds pick up and soon the winds are super hot and blinding his opponents with the dirt that his attack picks up. He charges forward and slashes at the closest Digimon, which turns out to be the leader of the gang. His attack sends the ShadowWereGarurumon flying pass the others.
They recover from both his new appearance and from his Desert Rage attack. He dodges most of the attacks, as best as he could and even lands a few of his own. Soon they have him circled and then Chaud arrives on the scene. "Sorry I'm late. Got held up by a pumpkin." Chaud states dryly. He snorts in amusement and the leader then says, "You're out number! Surrender I might deleted you quickly." He then says in his new voice, "I think we'll take out as many of you as we can before we go." He says that last part with a bit of a snarl.
The group of Digimon looks nervous at that simple statement, but he tells the truth. The enemy just didn't know what to make of any of this. They also didn't really want to deal with berserks either. He could tell this by the way they keep glancing at each other and the smell of fear and confusion.
Chaud takes his place by his left flank, facing away from his face. He had grown quite large as a champion. He bares his fangs at the surrounding Digimon and then as if on cue, both Chaud and him launch their attack at the same moment, the enemy Digimon have a hard time evading their first series of attacks, thus he deleted two NeoDevimon, a Wisemon, and a Karatenmon. He gets the blunt of a few attacks but doesn't let that stop him. He slashes at the remaining Wisemon and tackles a Karatenmon. He rears up and leaps on a NeoDevimon. He chomps on that one's neck and deletes him.
He then looks around for the leader and finds the ShadowWereGarurumon has fled. He turns asks, "Can you handle things?" Chaud just nods his head and he then takes off after the fleeing Digimon. He soon catches up with the leader and uses his Desert Rage to send the Digimon flying. He's already getting tired and he just wants to finish off the leader before anything else happens. The ShadowWereGarurumon notices that he's panting slightly and then decides that he could win this.
The virus uses his Shadow Claw attack and he roars in pain. Then before the virus could do it again, he catches the kick before it begins and bites down hard. The ultimate level Digimon howls in pain and he lets go of the leg and uses his Burning Beast attack on the ultimate, thus deleting the virus. He lies down and passes out.

He sighs as he finally finishes off the remaining Digimon. He found this quite hard and knows that if they could have planned for their attack, he would have had more trouble. He then just puts his swords away and nods to Jinx to lead the way, he heads off to find his friend.
He finds Lan resting on the ground and he moves towards the rookie. He finds that Lan's a bit hurt, but other then that, looks fine. He sighs in relief and gently picks up the vaccine rookie. He then starts his journey back to Bright Dawn. He just hopes that they're in time for dinner. He feels Jinx sit on his right shoulder and out of the corner of his eyes; he could see that Jinx looks worried. "He's fine, just tired." He says softly to the little guy. Jinx just sighs and says, "I don't like fight very much." He smiles a bit at that. "I think a lot of people will agree with you on that." He tells Jinx gently. "Then why do they still fight?" Jinx asks.
He thinks it over for a good ten minutes before answering, "Some Digimon think that not wanting to fight is a sign of weakness. They think that means that they could get away with anything if they show that they're willing to fight mercilessly. It doesn't work like that, for if you corner something and make it think it has nothing left to lose. That person will then fight with everything they have, for they'll not care one bit about their own life. Only stopping their tormentors. I guess we're lucky, it hasn't come to that." He could tell that Jinx looks sad and he wishes that he could comfort the little guy, but he really want to get back to Bright Dawn. Jinx then slowly says, "Then as long as there are Digimon like that, there's always going to be more fighting?" He nods at this and adds, "It's hard to stop the fighting, Jinx. Sometime you need that struggle to make you a better person and also stronger. It'll be unfair if everyone gets everything that they want without putting much effort into it. You begin to value life when you're forced to take it."
He looks off into the distance. He wonders just what kind of man he'll grow up to be. He knows that if Jinx was around, that it'll be not problem. But back home, there's a lot of pressure. His father does run an important company and he's usually lonely at home. He knows that he can fight that pressure all he wants, but he'll still be affected with it. It makes him hope that if he loses himself to it, that someone will come along and remind him of whom he really is. He also wishes that someone could be either Lan or Jinx.
They walk in silence for the rest of the way. After traveling for a good three hours, they find Alex waiting for them. He hands over Lan and then transforms back into Aroomon. He the says, "He's just tired. Digivolving for the first time takes a lot out of you." Alex sighs in relief and they walk into the city.

Both Jinx and him dig into the supper before him. They don't use their manners for they were just too hungry. He knows that when Lan wakes, that Lan'll also be having his own supper.
Soon the biting edge of his hungry dulls and he slows down. He didn't want a stomach after all. Soon they finish off the meal in front of them and they both are content with this.
Jinx then asks, "So, just what kind of Digimon is Lan's champion form?" He blinks, almost forgetting all about that. He holds out his Digivice and thinks about the champion form of Kovumon.
Ligermon
Champion level Digimon
Vaccine type.
Demon Beast. Attacks are Desert Rage and Burning Beast.
He raise an eyebrow at the demon beast comment, but then thinking back to the fight, he could seen that Lan had been a bit more violent the usual. He thinks about Lan's champion form as he lets go of this Digivice.
Lan moved on all fours as a champion and was a good six feet in height at the shoulder. As Ligermon, Lan was a good twenty feet in length, including his tail. As a champion, Lan colours were reddish brown with his mane and tail tuff being black. The mane wasn't very long and looked matted. Lan still had that scar over his one eye but he also had one on his left flank and right shoulder. Lan's claws as Ligermon were dusty gold in colour. Lan's head was much like a lion's head or a tigers and with the left ear with two pierced. The little fang earring was still there with another earring looking like a dagger made out of emerald. Lan's eyes as Ligermon were still green. Truth be told, he never wanted to meet up with something looking like Ligermon in an alley in the real world.
(---------------------------------------Lan-------------------------------------------)
He woke in his bed and then blinks as he remembers his fight. He pales a bit as he realizes just how he had fought. He couldn't believe that he bit that one Digimon's neck. But then just sighs as realizes that it's just how he fought in that form. He had some new instincts and some were just unpleasant, much like chomping down on that ShadowWereGarurumon's leg in order to block the attack.
He blinks, as he smells food in his room. He slowly turns his head in that direction and then gets out of bed. He moves slowly for he was kind of achy. He soon sits himself down and then begins to enjoy his meal.
He finishes it and then decides to go see how Chaud and Jinx are. He's still sore but he continues out the door. He knocks on Chaud's door and Chaud opens it. He grins sheepish and says, "Still welcome here?" Chaud blinks and asks, "Why you think you're not?" "I kind of went feral last time I checked my memories." He says dryly. Chaud blinks and then nods his head in agreement. "True, but you just need to get use to that. I think it's different for you then for me. You did goes, … beastly." Chaud answers and opens the door to let him in.
He walks into the room and kind of relieved that Chaud understood. He just didn't know what he'd do if Chaud thought him a monster. Chaud closes the door behind him and he sits down. He notices the plates and bowls on the table. He decides to ignore the dishes; he's table still have the dishes on it too.
"So, you got the leader then?" Chaud asks. He nods his head. He then asks, "You got the others?" Chaud nods his head. "So, what do you think they'll have us do tomorrow?" He decides to ask Chaud. Chaud just shrugs at this and says, "Most likely something similar to out first." He nods his head and soon they change the topic to what they wouldn't mind buying from the local market. They both chatted about a lot of things, just never touching the subject of what they'll do when this is all over.
