Chapter 12
He sighs as Kari leads the way. He remembers this from last time; he just thought it was the fever that brought it out. It looks like he's wrong, for now they were on their way to where the Numemon are being kept.
"You know where we're going?" TK asks in a whisper. He bends down and says in a whisper, "To free slaves." "Oooooo, nice to know someone knows where we're headed." Patamon says. He stands up straight and just keeps both of his eyes on Kari. He kind of wishes that Revmon was with them, but with both Patamon and Gatomon having had lunch, they have the energy to Digivolve when they run into trouble.
Mostly he's worried about Kari. Last time this happen, Kari got real weak and had to be carried around, but it might have been because of the fever that left her so weak. He wonders if her mostly recovered from the fever will help when she stops glowing.
He sighs and runs a hand through his white hair. He knows that Revmon can Digivolve into either Shalindramon or Fylgiamon, but he was thinking that considering all of the darkness in the tunnels, it's more likely that Revmon will Digivolve into Shalindramon.
He feels guilty about not having the Digi Egg of Hope anymore, but he knows that if it had happened to anyone else, that they'd to the same as what he and Revmon did. He closes his eyes and could still hear the pleading that some of the Digimon had done when they were about to be deleted. He hunted that group down and between him and his partner, toyed with them before deleting them.
'That happened after five years of mourning and wallowing in guilt though. I was a different person then and Revmon did try his hardest to talk me out of it. It wasn't until the last five teamed up together did Revmon actually hold me down and forced me to listen to him. If I had rushed in, I would have been killed again. That's the first time we used that Digi Egg…' He thinks as he stops walking. The Digi Egg of Darkness is a reminder of that time and he accepted the fact that Darkness and Evil are two totally different things. He did evil in the name of Light, unlike more who do evil shrouded in Darkness.
"Hey, you ok?" He hears TK asks in a worried tone. He opens his eyes and smiles sadly. He answers, "Just thinking about stuff." He tells his 'brother.' TK studies him and doesn't look too convinced at this. "You want to talk about it?" TK asks. "Later." He says simply. TK sighs and continues on, "Is it because I'm not old enough?" He blinks and answers, "No, it's just that Kari's getting a head of us." TK turns around and begins to quickly walk to where they see Kari. "You'll tell me tonight!" TK cries out before running towards where Kari, Gatomon, and Patamon were.
He smiles and trots towards them. He might as well; he has a feeling that TK will bug him about it until he finally gives in. He just needs to think about how to explain it to TK in a way for that TK will understand.
(-------------------------------------Revmon---------------------------------------)
They just stare as Andromon appears before them. He just stares dumbly at the ultimate level cyber Digimon. He remembers that last time Jager and him visited him, back before they left to try and keep the Digidestine from getting killed.
It brought back memories about the other timeline and he has a hard time thinking about it. Then he snaps out of it when he hears something crash through the tunnels. He yells out, "Run for it!" They all turn away from the noise and race away.
They continue to hear things crash and a grinding sound too. He bets that it's Machinedramon, though. He really doesn't remember much about this area, only that Kari started to glow and lead them to where some Numemon were being used at slave labour. He blinks and suddenly knows just where the other group was headed. He just hopes that Angemon and Angewomon can handle that evil bear.
They soon get cornered and Tai then says, "Ok, no more running!" "Funny, I was thinking the same thing." Matt says dryly. Tai ignores this comment and turns to him. "Could you distract him?" Tai asks. He nods and moves away from the group.
"Revmon Armour Digivolve to … Shalindramon, flash of Darkness!" He cries out. He soon takes to the air. It's a tight fit, but he'll make due. He can see very clearly in this place now. He can see Machinedramon coming towards them and he fires off a Shadow Beam. It hits the mega level Digimon and Machinedramon asks, "Is that the best you can do?" He answers, "Geeze, you'd think you'd be honoured fighting me. It's not every day I decide to attack some hunk of metal." He knows that he said the right thing to get the mega angry. He adds, "Some piece of work you are. Chasing us through the underground and hampering your movements. I think Puppetmon was smarter then you."
Machinedramon roars out, "You insolent scum! I'm a genius compared to that hunk of Digi wood! I'll delete you for that!" He grins as he sneaks behind the mega and calls out, "Sure, sure. I'll see to it that you're turned into something useful, say a bed frame!" That did it, Machinedramon forgot all about the rest of the group and began to chase after him.
(--------------------------------------Tai--------------------------------------------)
He just stares in the direction where Shalindramon was leading Machinedramon. "I never knew that metal could move so fast." He says. "I must agree with that." Izzy says. "Now what?" Matt asks. "We don't know where Jager and them are and our guide is getting chased by scrape metal." Matt adds.
He finds everyone looking at him and he then looks at Andromon. "I don't suppose you might be able to find the others with radar or something?" He asks Andromon. "I believe I can. Leave everything to me." Andromon says and as they watch, Andromon places a hand on a wall. Then after a few minutes Andromon begins to move forward, they followed.
As they follow the cyber Digimon, his thoughts drift to what Revmon had told him. He really doesn't like this Davis kid already; he didn't care if the kid idolized him either. Kari's his baby sister and he'll be damned if anything happens to her.
It then hit him that other then the names Ken and Davis, Revmon didn't get a chance to tell them about the other two kids. Or about Davis's last name. He reluctantly stops pondering about this future crush and focus on the task at hand. They needed to meet up with Jager and the others before Machinedramon remembers that they're still here.
(---------------------------------------Jager-----------------------------------------)
'Great, Revmon Digivolved and I'm getting chased by an over grown stuff bear! Why don't I just ask TK to let Patamon Digivolve? Angemon might not be able to defeat the guy, but it would have beat running away from this ragged bear.' He thinks as he carries TK away and hopefully out of WaruMonzaemon's range of attack.
"You can't run forever!" WaruMonzaemon yells. "This… coming… from… an… animated… toy?" He calls back as he runs away. "I hear that!" The evil stuffed bear shouts. He doesn't reply, he just keeps running. He ducks and rolls when a flying paw is launched at them.
He lets go of TK and tells his 'brother,' "Head back to where Kari and them are. I'll keep this guy distracted." TK then says, "What about you?" "I'll be fine! You need to be there for Kari. She might be drained." He tells TK. He could see that TK is now concerned about Kari, but it wars with TK's concern for him. "Just trust me, please? Kari needs you now and Revmon has Digivolved so he and the others might be on the way." He tells the eight year old. Very reluctantly, TK nods and he then gets up off the ground. "Geeze, you'd think you'd be able to get your paw out of there by now." He insults WaruMonzaemon.
He could hear TK already move away from him and back along the tunnel. The black toy bear's eyes narrow at him and says, "You're only confident 'cause I haven't gotten it out yet. Once I do, you'll be sorry!" "I think I'm already sorry… cause I meet you!" He says then turns races straight ahead, not where the ultimate is trying to get his paw out of the wall, though. It would be the left turn that he noticed coming up.
After three minutes, WaruMonzaemon is giving chase. He blinks as he rams into someone. He finds a mess of brown hair and goggles. "Hey you guys! Got someone on my tail. Mind shaking him off?" He asks as he helps Tai off the ground. "Are the others ok?" Sora asks worriedly. "They're fine! There's only one guy and he's been chasing me and TK around." He tells that others.
He notices Andromon and then watches as Andromon uses Lightning Blade. They were a cry as the attack hits its mark. "You hit my paw!" WaruMonzaemon cries out. "That's him?" Izzy asks. He just nods and says, "Some posses stuff toy with an attitude." "I resent that!" WaruMonzaemon yells out and tries to charge the group.
The Digimon of the group then attack. "Pepper Breathe!" Agumon calls out. "Blue Blaster!" Gabumon states. "Super Shocker!" Tentomon says. "Spiral Twister!" Biyomon cries out. Andromon then uses his Lightning Blade attack again.
The combine forces delete the virus and Matt then asks, "Where's TK?" "I send him back to where Kari and the Digimon are." He answers. He could see that Matt relaxes at this. He looks around and then asks, "Where's Revmon?" Nobody answers right away and he sighs as he waits for someone to answer.
(-------------------------------------Revmon---------------------------------------)
He dodges the attack and calls out, "You couldn't hit the board side of a building!" He hears the cannons recharge he just smirks at this. 'You'd think that he'd know better by now. Well, if he wants to use all of his energy before battling the others, it's not my problem!' He thinks as he circles in front of Machinedramon.
He knows that where ever Jager is, he's safe for his partner is with two Digimon that have eaten something. He sighs mentally as he thinks about WaruMonzaemon though. He really doesn't know just what happened with the virus bear, only that the chances are good that he was deleted when the area disappeared.
He noticed that the cannons were taking longer to charge and he knows that Machinedramon must be going for a large-scale attack in hopes of deleting him. He wonders if maybe all of this Gaia Cannon attacks might not just blow up on Machinedramon. He watches with interest as the cannons soon begin to glow red and soon Machinedramon is crying out in pain.
He quickly flees the area as quickly as he can. He then hears a bam and he doesn't look back, he just continues to flee. Hoping to out run the blast. He feels heat by his tail and then he pulls ahead a bit more and the heat subsides.
He looks down and finds that the area is already disappearing. He soon spies the others, he flies in and everyone but Sora and Izzy climb onto his back. He takes off with his partner riding up front. "So are you a ultimate then?" TK asks. "He armour Digivolved. He's an amour Digimon right now." His partner explains. "What's armour Digivolving like?" Patamon asks. "Kind of like normal Digivolving." He answers.
