Chapter 6: Back in Action!

After the battles with SkullGreymon and SkullMammothmon, the group continued on. They met no further conflict until they reached the temple.

They entered the temple. It seemed that both groups of Digidestined were a bit wary about it. They walked through to find a clearing in the center. Everyone had passed with no problems.

That is, until Takato and Rika walked through together. They were suddenly thrown back into Henry.

The others whirled around. "What happened?" Tai called.

"I don't know." Takato said. "We were just walking through when it happened."

"I think it was supposed to happen." Henry said, getting up and helping Takato to his feet. "I don't think we're allowed to help."

Rika snorted. "Yeah, right. There is no way I'm missing this fight." She got up and walked through, only to be thrown into Takato again."

Henry sweatdropped. "Told you so." He said as the two fell to the ground again. He turned to the Digidestined. "I think this is a test to see if you're worthy to have your power back. Good luck."

They nodded and continued onward. In the center of the clearing was a large tablet. Digi-code letters covered the tablet as well as carvings of eight stone Digimon.

"Ones who are worthy," Izzy read. "Defeat our guardians to receive your power."

"Guardians?" Yolie said, looking around. "Where are they?"

Tai stepped forward. He walked to one of the statues, touching it's face. "Golemon." He said. "I've faced these Digimon before. Brutal, but dim-witted."

He turned back. "I have a bad feeling about this."

"Tai!" Sora suddenly shouted. "Duck!"

"Where?"

"The other duck!" Sora screamed in frustration.

Tai dropped to his stomach just as a large hand swept where his head was seconds ago. The hand then slammed on the ground, but Tai had rolled away before he could get hit.

Getting up, Tai saw that the eight statues had turned into eight Golemon, ready to crush the kids. "Guys, get ready!" Tai yelled, getting into a fighting stance. "Digimon!"

"Courage!" he shouted as his dragon face plate covered his head and his broadsword appeared in his hands.

"Friendship!" Matt yelled as his wolf face plate covered his head and his katana appeared.

"Love!" Sora yelled, her eagle face plate covering her head and her rapier appeared.

"Knowledge!" Izzy shouted, his beetle face plate covering his head and his mace appearing in his hands.

"Sincerity!" Mimi shouted as her rose face plate and her large dagger appearing in her hands.

"Reliability!" Joe shouted as his walrus face plate covered his head and his war axe appeared in his hand.

"Hope!" TK yelled, his angel's helmet covering his head and his twin sais appearing in his hands.

"Light!" Kari shouted as her angel helmet covered her face and her lance appeared in her hand.

"Friendly Courage!" Davis shouted as his dragon helmet covered his head and his twin katana in his hands.

"Sincere Love!" Yolie said, her samurai's helmet on her head and her twin rapiers appearing in her hands.

"Reliable Knowledge." Cody yelled, his twin axes and his beetle helmet.

"Kindness!" Ken shouted, his beetle's helmet and his war hammer appearing in his hands.

"Destiny!" Willis shouted, his helmet and twin war hammers appearing.

"Fire!" Takuya roared, his samurai's helmet and his twin numb-chucks appearing in his hands.

"Light!" Koji yelled, his mask and twin broadswords appearing.

"Wind!" Zoe cried, her visor down and twin knives twirling in her hands.

"Ice!" Tommy yelled as his bear helmet and twin daggers appeared.

"Thunder!" JP shouted, his beetle mask and twin maces appearing.

"Darkness!" Koichi yelled as his lion mask and his spear appeared. "Whoa!" He had to dive out of the way as a Golemon slashed at him.

"Split up!" Tai shouted, intercepting a large hand with his broadsword.

The group separated, seven groups of two and one group of five, all going in different directions, all chased by a Golemon.

In one group, Yolie and Cody ran as their Golemon roared in frustration.

They hid in the brush and focused on their weapons. Cody's axes took on a purple and black hue while Yolie's rapiers glowed green and red.

As Golemon stomped past, they released the energy.

"Knowledgeable Fury!"

"Sincere Fury!"

Their weapons sliced through the air and hit Golemon's legs, but did nothing more that trip and anger the rock beast.

Yolie and Cody glanced at each other.

"Back to plan A?" Cody asked.

"Oh yeah."

They ran.

Another group, Koji and Koichi, ran from their Golemon from up a cliff. Koichi leapt behind a boulder and began using his spear to try and send it rolling while Koji distracted the Golemon.

Koji slashed at Golemon with his twin broadswords, but found them useless. So he began to charge his attack. His swords glowed as they absorbed light.

"Light's Fury!"

The attack, however, glanced off the monster like water.

Meanwhile, Koichi had gotten frustrated with the boulder. "Forget it." He said, charging up his spear with shadows. "Darkness' Fury!"

He stabbed the boulder and it began rolling. "Koji, look out!"

Koji looked up and leapt out of the way. Golemon, however, took the boulder face on. It was pushed over the cliff. When Koji and Koichi looked over the edge, it disintegrated.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Courageous Fury!"

"Friendly Fury!"

Tai's orange-glowing broadsword and Matt's blue glowing katana sliced at their Golemon, succeeding about as much as the others: Their Golemon tripped and fell.

When it got up, it roared and hit Matt, sending him into the trees. Fortunately, the armor cushioned both impacts.

"Oh boy." Tai muttered, shifting his broadsword and stepping back.

Then a vine fell from above. "Tai!" Matt shouted from the other end.

Tai grabbed the vine and Matt jumped off the branch he was standing on as the Golemon swung its arm, barely missing Tai's legs. "Elevator going up!" Tai grinned as he flew past Matt.

"Elevator going down!" Matt said as he brought his feet up and smacked Golemon's head, sending it to the ground as Tai landed on the branch.

Tai grinned and charged his broadsword. "Courageous Fury!" He leapt off of the branch and sank his broadsword into the Golemon's head.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Just keep running, just keep running, just keep running, running, running—!"

"Davis will you shut up!" Ken shouted.

They were running from their Golemon and Davis was singing an altered song from Finding Nemo.

"I never should have let him watch that movie." Ken thought.

The roar brought him back to reality, and he charged up his hammer. He stopped, raised his hammer, and slammed it into the ground, releasing magenta energy, yelling "Kind Fury!"

The ground broke up, sending Golemon into a pit.

Davis blinked. "Dude, if that's kind, I'd hate to see mean."

"…Shut up."

Davis walked over to a tree and charged his blades. "Courageous Fury!" the tree was sliced by twin katanas and landed on Golemon's head.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sora and Mimi crashed out of the woods near a river, their Golemon stomping after them.

Trapped between the river and Golemon, Sora suddenly got an idea. "Mimi, distract it! I have an idea!"

I just said that.

"Oh, sorry."

Anyway, back in the story, Sora dodges to the left as Mimi charges her dagger.

"Sincere Fury!" She unleashes the energy, but Golemon blocks the attack.

But Sora had snuck up behind Golemon and charged. "Lovely Fury!"

She slashed at the Golemon's back as Mimi dodged. Golemon pitched into the river. He hit the water, sank to the bottom, and dissolved.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Takuya and Zoe, who were also running from a Golemon, were doing so a bit differently, as Zoe was jumping from tree to tree.

"Z, how long can you keep that up?" Takuya panted.

"A while." Zoe answered cheerily. "Golemon's catching up. Need an aliee-oop?"

"Gladly." Zoe bounced ahead, as she was at home in the air, and got several yards ahead of Takuya. She then hung upside-down on a branch with her knees, hands out, and began swinging.

When Takuya ran up to her, she grabbed his hands and swung him into the tree.

Golemon had run past two more trees before it realized it's targets were gone. It began looking around stupidly.

Zoe began absorbing the air into her knives before jumping in the air and spinning. "Wind's Fury!"

She released a gale that pushed Golemon into a tree as Takuya, numb-chucks charged with heat, leapt from the tree and began bashing the Golemon, yelling "Fire's Fury!"

Golemon eventually turned to Digi-dust.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Izzy and Joe had found a cave and watched in amused amazement Golemon ran around outside, looking for them.

"This is ridiculous." Joe whispered.

"No kidding." Izzy agreed. He held up his mace, which had a purple hue. "Let's surprise him."

Joe grinned and his axe took a dark shade.

"Reliable Fury!" He slammed it into the ground and made Golemon stumble. Izzy and Joe raced outside, where Izzy slammed his mace into Golemon's back, yelling "Knowledgeable Fury!" and sending him into the cave.

The two boys charged up their weapons again and slammed into the rock wall.

"Knowledgeable Fury!"

"Reliable Fury!"

Rocks fell and crushed the Golemon inside. Izzy and Joe grinned at each other and headed back to the tablet.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

TK, Kari, Tommy, JP and Willis all ran from another Golemon. When they were all about half a mile from the tablet, JP got frustrated.

"That's it!" He said, gathering electricity into his twin maces. "Thunder's Fury!" The maces slammed into Golemon's chest, if you could call it a chest, but all he did was make it mad.

"Nice going!" Willis shouted back, still running. "Now you know why lightning needs trees to catch a mountain on fire! Run!"

They ran to a river, where Tommy got an idea. "Hang on!" he said, charging his daggers. "Ice's Fury!" He plunged his daggers into the river, freezing the water solid.

TK grinned. "Great job, Tommy. Everyone, get in positions to ping-pong Golemon to the waterfall!"

They spread out. When Golemon came out of the forest, he saw Willis on the other side of the frozen river. He roared and charged, but in his haste, he slipped on the ice and fell.

Grinning, Willis charged his war hammers. "Destiny's Fury!"

The dual blows sent Golemon sliding down the river towards Kari, who's lance had a pink hue.

"Light's Fury!" She slammed her lance into Golemon and sent him to Tommy.

"Ice's Fury!" The boy's daggers sent Golemon to JP.

"Thunder's Fury!" who sent the monster sliding toward TK.

"Hopeful Fury!" Who sent Golemon the last couple yards and over the waterfall, where he hit the water and disintegrated.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Most of the group had met back at the tablet, only TK, Kari, Tommy, JP, Willis, Yolie and Cody were missing.

Then the first five appeared through the trees.

"Hi, guys." TK panted. "Everyone here?"

"Yolie and Cody aren't back yet." Tai said. "We're hoping that they'll be back soon."

"Guys, look out!" Yolie shouted as she and Cody ran from the trees. "We couldn't get rid of it."

And with a roar, the last Golemon came out of the trees.

Tai took quick action. "Everyone distract him! TK, Kari, you're with me!"

As Tai, TK, and Kari disappeared, everyone ganged up on Golemon, driving it until it was in front of the tablet.

"Now!" Tai yelled.

TK and Kari grabbed vines and swung over Golemon, letting go and hitting him with charged weapons, sending him back.

Tai leapt from the tree he was on, covered in flames. "Courageous Comet!" he shouted as he streaked for Golemon. He hit the creature and it flew back, hitting the tablet and turning to Digi-dust.

As they removed masks and such, the ground started shaking and the tablet opened, revealing a large statue. Everyone watched as the statue, which was of all of the Digidestined's human Digimon forms, crept forward until it was just ten yards in front of them.

The statue turns to Fractal Code and wrapped around each Digidestined. When they were revealed, they were in their Digimon forms. They were back in action!
