Okay, welcome to the next chapter of Digimon: Power Rangers Style. This chapter will introduce the Tamers, though they are Tamers no longer. And it's only Takato, Henry and Rika. But, like always, let's answer the reviews before we continue.
Western Master 3: Yes they can. Thanks for the review!
Takari Rocks!!!: I'm really glad you like it. Yes, Piedmon is like Ooze.
Gundamknight: Really glad you like it. Hope you enjoy this chapter. Eaglemon sounds interesting, though.
Insane Pyro Girl: Woah, down girl. Keep the fire to yourself. I'm updateing regularlly. I'm a good boy.
Anyway, onto the story. I do not own Digimon, and I want everyone to know that all Digimon, including the towering titans like MegaKabuterimon and MegaGargomon are as tall as, oh, let's say, WarGreymon and WereGarurumon. Also, I'm not sure I have Sakuyamon's description and her Dragon Helix attack correct. If not, I'm sorry. Onto the story!!
Chapter 4: To the Southern Plane
It took thirty minutes to find the nearest Internet cafe. Finding the port to Digidestined HQ closed, Izzy quickly opened the nearest to it.
It took another hour to walk (They couldn't run, Tommy and Cody are only eight years old after all) to the HQ. When they got there, they found the place destroyed.
"What happened?" Sora asked, staring at the destruction.
"I'll give you three guesses." Izzy said, picking up a sword in the rubble.
"Piedmon." Tai growled.
The rocks under Joe's feet began to move, causing the teen to yell in surprise as a voice came from below them. "Geez, rocks wasn't enough? Whoever's on me, get off! You're like a baby elephant!"
Joe got off at once and helped uncover Gennai. "Sorry, Gennai."
"It's alright." Gennai groaned. Then he looked around. "Where's Azulongmon?"
"I'm...here." came his weak voice. They rushed over to him and saw the great dragon lying in the ground, some of his blue scales now black.
"He's grown stronger." Azulongmon rasped. "We are going to need help."
"Who are we going to call?" Matt asked. "We're the only Digidestined."
"In this plane." Gennai added. "He didn't really want to do it, but Zhuqiaomon has chosen that can help."
"But how will that help?" Izzy asked. "Without the power from the HQ, we can't fight."
"That's why we're sending you to the Southern Plane." Azulongmon said weakly. "You'll get beast forms as well as your human forms."
"Don't speak, Azulongmon." Gennai said. "Save your strength."
He turned to the Digidestined. "Come. We have enough power to send you to the Southern Plane."
They did, and walked behind the old man. After Gennai pushed several buttons to open a digiport, the Digidestined held up their Digivices and were sucked through the portal.
---------------------------------
"I don't believe this!" LadyDevimon raged. "He let those blasted children live! He should have known that those Vilemon wouldn't do the job."
In the dark part of the Digital World, in Myotismon's castle, LadyDevimon was yelling her voice out, Myotismon watching in amusement. Ogremon and Devimon were wisly staying out of her way. In fact, Devimon was not in the room.
"That poor excuse for a Mega, what was he doing while those Digibrats were deleting his poor excuses for Champions?!" LadyDevimon yelled. She would have gone on, but the heavy doors to the throne room were thrown open. In the doorway was a certain clown yelling "Hi, honey! I'm home!"
"You!" LadyDevimon spat, pointing at Piedmon. "You let the Digiestined escape! We've no use for you anymore, Darkness Wa—mm!"
When LadyDevimon was about to launch her attack, Piedmon threw a yellow hankerchief at her. It wrapped around her mouth and effectivly gagged her. When she reached up to remove it, an electric shock coursed through her body.
"Finally, someone shut her up." Myotismon said with a grin. LadyDevimon sent him a death glare.
Before anything else could be said, Devimon hurried into the room. "Master, the Digidestined have taken a portal."
"To the Real World?" Myotismon asked.
"No, Master." Devimon answered. "To the Southern Plane."
Silence filled the room before Ogremon asked, "Why would they do that?"
"They went to ask Zhuqiaomon for aid!" Myotismon roared in anger. He whirled on Piedmon. "Why didn't you destroy the brats?!"
"Because I was elsewhere." Piedmon replied. "I think you've lost your touch, Myotismon. I've heard of you. You could have taken these brat out yourself months ago. I think we need new leadership and I vote...me!"
Laughing, Piedmon sat on the throne.
"No one crosses me and lives!" Myotismon roared. "Grisly Wing!"
Bats flew at Piedmon. To everyone's surprise, he wa just laughing. "Oh, stop it, that tickles!"
The bats disappeared. Piedmon stood up. "My turn." He said, throwing two white cloths. "Clown Trick!"
The cloths fell over Myotismon and LadyDevimon. They fell on the floor and fell unmoving.
Piedmon walked up and picked up the cloths. "Ta-da!" Myotismon and LadyDevimon were...
"Keychains!" Piedmon said proudly. "I love keychains!"
He turned to Devimon and Ogremon. "Now, you can follow my lead, or you can join these dingledorks." He said, holding up the keychains.
From Myotismon's, you couls barely hear a squeaky voice say "Devimon, don't you dare betray me!"
"Uh," Devimon looked to Ogremon, who shrugged. "We never liked those dingledorks, anyway."
"Good." Piedmon smiled. "Now for the problem at hand. The Digidestined."
He pulled a black feather from out of nowhere and threw it into the center of the room. It struck the floor, quivering, before it split.
"The Karatenmon will take care of them."
------------------------------
When the Digidestined arrived in the Digital World of the Southern Plane, they found a barren waste land.
"This is where Azulongmon wanted us to go?" Tommy asked incredulously.
"I guess so." TK replied, looking around.
"Come on." Tai said. "Let's find what we're looking for."
Seconds became minutes and minutes dragged into hours. Lost in their thoughts, everyone failed to notice that Cody and Tommy were falling behind, even the youngest two themselves.
Finally, Yolie stopped. "Cody?" she said, looking back.
That got everyone's attention. They stopped and began looking for the Warriors of Reliable Knowledge and Ice.
They had just spotted them when a dark blur raced toward them and grabbed Cody, holding a broadsword to the boy's throat.
It was about as tall as Joe. A samurai's robe covered it's dark blue and black feathered body. It's head was that of a raven. Each of it's long arms held a broadsword.
Several more blurs moved to surround the Digidestined. Reveiling more of the creatures. There must have been two for every Digidestined child.
"Who are you?!" Cody yelled form his position.
"We are Karatenmon." Replied his captor. "We were sent by Piedmon to destroy you. Say goodbye!"
But before anyone could say or do anything, a voice yelled "Leave him alone, Demon! Lightning Joust!"
A blast of lightning hit the Karatenmon holding Cody, deleting him. Miraculously, the lightning did not hit the boy.
Looking around, the Digidestined and Karatenmon both saw three figures standing on a high cliff.
On the left was a woman. She was dressed in yellow-and-purple armor and leather. Her white/grey hair was pulled back into a ponytail. The top half of her face was covered by a yellow fox mask. In her hands was a golden staff. Let's just say that Davis wasn't the only one drooling.
On the right was a robot. About the same size as the other two, his green armor made his stand out even more. On his shoulders were two rocket launchers with dog faces on them. His cool and calculating stare was intimidating.
In the center was a knight. His white armor gleamed in the sun as his red cape blew in the slight breeze. On his left arm was a shield with a Hazard symbol in it. His right arm was a lance. There could be no doubt that this was the one who saved Cody.
"You dare interupt our mission?!" roared a Karatenmon.
"We dare." Replied the knight. "The innocent are not to be harmed."
TK and Koji, being the closest to the Karatenmon, took advantage of the distraction. They sent a fist or foot to two Karatenmon's faces, picked up their weapons (Koji took both, TK took one and tossed the other to Cody) and finished the downed creatures.
"Less talk, more action!" the woman yelled. "Dragon Helix!" She swung her staff and a blazing dragon's head erupted from it, deleting three of the Karatenmon.
"Gargo Missiles!" The green robot launched the two missiles on it's shoulders, sending them into a group of Karatenmon.
Between the knight, the robot, the woman, TK, Cody and Koji, the thirty six Karatenmon quickly fell. They thought the fighting would be over for a while, but they didn't count on something from their new allies.
"Thanks." Tai said, holding his hand out to the woman, who was closest to him. "We appreciate your help."
His answer was the staff hitting his hand. "What do you think you're doing here?" yelled the woman. "It's dangerous here. Leave now, because next time, I'm just going to leave you alone."
The knight and robot groaned and looked at each other.
"You're the peacemaker of the group, MegaGargomon." Said the knight.
"She's you're girlfriend, Gallantmon." MegaGargomon retorted.
They stared at each other, then held out a fist. They played Rock, Paper, Sissors. MegaGargomon had rock. Gallantmon hung his head, as he had sissors.
Gallantmon walked to the woman and put his hands on her shoulders. "Sakuyamon, stop. Let's hear them out."
"If it weren't for the fact that I love you, you'd be missing a hand." Sakuyamon said, grinning when Gallantmon gave a small "Eep!" Then she shook her head before sending a fiery glare to Tai, who was nursing his hand. "Alright. Let's go to Zhuqiaomon's palace. Get into a group." She added to the Digidestined. When they did, she raised her staff. "Crystal Sphere!"
A transparent bubble surrounded her and the kids. "Hold on tight." Was her only warning before she leapt into the air.
Gallantmon and MegaGargomon lifted off with exasperated cries of "Sakuyamon! Slow down!"
