Chapter 6
He frowns as Inderamon keeps beating the crap out of Impmon. He just shakes his head sadly as Impmon keeps insulting the horse Deva and then the Inderamon out send Impmon flying. Impmon would get up and stumble towards the Deva yet again. It is a vicious cycle between the pair.
"As much as I know that Impmon feels the need to do this, can't we just find away to grab him before he gets up again?" He asks. "This is just so scentless." Rika adds. "Well, Impmon wouldn't like that. Especially if one of us does it." Henry says. He sighs and says, "I'll be back." He turns to find a good place to Spirit Evolve.
Soon he is flying over the battle and either Inderamon or Impmon have noticed him. He dives and grabs Impmon before Inderamon sends him flying once more. He ignores Impmon's insults as he lands on a rooftop away from the battle. Before he leaves, he says, "You fought hard and should feel proud about that. Just rest, there will be other battles." He flies as high as he can and then descends close to where he transformed.
He changes back and heads back to where Henry and Rika were viewing the battle. His arrival signals Guilmon joining the battle. He takes out a card and swipes it. "Guilmon Digivolves to… Growlmon!" He grins as Growlmon tackles Inderamon.
The horse Deva grunts as he pulls himself up. Before Inderamon attacks, something happens to the horse Deva. Then Inderamon leaps and dissolves into data. He doesn't like this, it doesn't feel right. He turns to stare at the building with twin towers. He just shakes his head and Henry asks, "What's wrong?" "I just wish those people would stop interfering with our battles." He says and points to the building.
Rika asks, "How do you know that they did anything?" "I just do." He says simply. "We better go." Henry says. They head to the tunnel where their partners can hide until they dedigivolve. He just knows that whatever those people were planning, that they'll not like it one single bit.

He stares at the blue card that Kazu made. He pause and notices Guilmon racing towards him and they exchange nods. "Sorry you guys, but something's happening. Bye!" He says and both him and Guilmon are soon on their way.
It takes them a good hour to arrive just in time to find Inderamon materializing in a busy street. Guilmon Digivolved into Growlmon. He hopes to distract Inderamon until the others arrive to help defeat the horse Deva. He watches as Growlmon slashes at Inderamon and Inderamon backs away.
The pair of Digimon trade blows and circle as best they can for they in the street. After a good ten minutes, Henry with Terriermon arrives and shortly after Rika and Renamon appear as well. Both Digimon Digivolve into their champion forms and join Growlmon in attacking the Deva.
The horse Deva's straps disappear from the large horn that he carries on his back and says, "I get tired of you defiance, slaves. This shall prove amusing." Their partners pause and Gargomon says, "So it's a large horn. Lets get them!" He sighs as all three Digimon use range attacks. The attacks are drawn into the horn and he yells, "Duck and cover!" Growlmon obeys without any thought and therefore evades the counter attack that comes out of the horn.
Gargomon and Kyubimon cry out in pain and he takes out a card. "Digimodify! Power activate!" He cries out as he swipes the cards. "Destroy the horn!" He cries out. "Okie dokie, Takatomon!" Growlmon says. "Dragon Slash!" Growlmon cries out as he attacks the horn.
The horn and Inderamon budges, but Growlmon continues to slash at the golden horn. Soon Gargomon and Kyubimon help out; Growlmon backs off to let Gargomon us Bunny Pummel on the horn. Then Kyubimon uses the horn as a springboard and launches an attack on Inderamon. Inderamon grunts out in pain and lets go of the horn.
While Kyubimon keeps Inderamon busy, Growlmon and Gargomon continue to use physical attacks on the horn. But soon Inderamon sends Kyubimon flying into Gargomon. Growlmon roars out and charges Inderamon.
"Takato! Try the blue card!" He hears Kazu's voice. He pauses and turns to look behind him. He finds Jeri, Kazu, and Kenta standing behind them. He blinks blankly at the trio and his one hand retrieves the made blue card from his pocket. He hears Growlmon howl in pain and he scans the area for Calumon.
He hears Henry and Rika yell out encouragements to their partners. He finally spies the little guy and their gazes' meet. Calumon nods slightly and he smiles at this. He returns to looking at Growlmon and focuses his energy into the fake blue card, transforming it into a blue card. "Matrix Digivolution activate!" He cries out and his partner is covered in a ball of light. "Growlmon Digivolves to… WarGrowlmon!"
He grins at his partner and seeks out his link to WarGrowlmon. He then sends. 'Take him out with one blow!' WarGrowlmon replies. 'On it!' WarGrowlmon charges with his arms cross in front of him. WarGrowlmon crashes into Inderamon and the blades slash, slices the arms off of Inderamon. Inderamon cries out in pain, but WarGrowlmon doesn't let up. His partner continues to slice at Inderamon with increasing speed from the link between WarGrowlmon and him.
Inderamon is sent back and starts to break apart. Soon the horse Deva is only data and he lets up on the link between WarGrowlmon and himself. They all sigh in relief and they soon retreat. He shakes his head as WarGrowlmon digs an escape tunnel.
He also picks up Calumon before running away. He just hopes that nobody noticed Calumon's part in WarGrowlmon's Digivolution. He just knows it's a bad idea if Calumon is taken away.
)-()-(
It's been a good two weeks since the whole incident with Inderamon and Impmon is still making trouble. It seems that his encouragement after rescuing him from being deleted. Impmon brags about deleting the next Deva without any trouble. He wonders if he should of just left without saying anything, but it's too late. It happened and now they'll just have to live with it.
He's lying in a tree after the meeting with Henry and Rika. They have decided to start looking for portals to the Digital World; they hope to confront the Deva in the Digital World before they encounter the next one. He has his doubts about that, for there was this one kid that just feels freaky.
He also wonders if Jeri will ever give up on using that puppet to say things that Jeri finds disturbing. He doesn't know just what's wrong with Jeri that she felt like she had to create her own dream reality to escape from the real world, but he hopes that someone or something will be able to help Jeri heal. It's just unhealthy for Jeri to retreat into her own little world.
(----Leomon----)
He sends the rodent packing and turns to find the human girl giving him a weird look. He backs up as the girl takes a step towards him. "Thank you, Leomon. I just know we'll work well together as partners!" The strange girl tells him. "Look kid, I don't know what you mean by that, but I'm a lone warrior. Always have been and I plan to keep it that way." He tells her as he backs up as she keeps coming towards him.
"But we're destined to be together!" The girl insists. "I got to go, see you around." He says and takes off at a dead run. He soon hears the girl chase after him. He tries to shake her, but when he tries to hide, the white Digimon would blow his cover.
He smells a human and a Digimon from this shed and he grabs the little Digimon before it has a chance to blow his cover. He steps back and suddenly he steps too far into the shed and trips. He falls on something, which in turn cries out in pain.
"Guilmon!" He hears someone yell and he gets up off the red Digimon. "Takatomon!" The red Digimon says and rams right into the young human boy at the entrance. He sighs as he thinks. 'It's going to be one of those days, isn't it?'
(----Takato----)
Blinks as he looks at Leomon. He can't believe that before him stands one of the most noblest Digimon around. He sighs as he gets up off the ground.
"So, what are you doing hiding in here?" He asks. He feels Calumon perch on his head. "I'm just trying to mind my own business and I stop some rodent Digimon from picking on at Digimon and a human girl. I send the Digimon packing and then the girl begins talking about being partners, so I tried to shake her. I tried to hide but that white Digimon keeps blowing my cover. That's why I grabbed the little guy and hid in here." Leomon says. He blinks and rolls his eyes to look at Calumon. "Is that true?" He asks Calumon. Calumon just hums in agreement.
He sighs and before he says anything, he hears Jeri's voice yell, "Leomon! Where are you?" He just scratches the back of his head as Calumon cries out, "Over here Jeri!"
They all turn to find Jeri running towards them. He suddenly feels sorry for Leomon. He notices the sparkle in Jeri's eyes, as she looks Leomon. He truly is at a loss at what to do. He listens as Jeri start in on convincing Leomon to become her Digimon partner.
Soon he moves out of the way to let Leomon races away. He grabs Calumon saying, "O no, you stay with me, Calumon. I believe I better talk with Henry and Rika about this." Calumon nods and he lets go of the white Digimon, Calumon floats behind them as they head to use the pay phone.
He dials Henry's house and turns to watch Leomon get chased by an overly active Jeri. Soon he hears someone answer the phone. "Hello?" He says, "Hi, this is Takato. Is Henry there?" The voice says, "I'll check and see." He hears the phone get put down as footsteps and then a shout, "Henry! Takato's on the phone!" "Coming!" He can hear Henry say. Soon the phone is picked up and Henry says, "Hey Takato." He then says, "Hey Henry. I got this problem with Jeri and a Leomon." "What's wrong?" Henry asks. "Jeri's convinced that Leomon is her partner, but Leomon isn't buying it." He says.
Nothings said for a minute and then Henry asks, "How does Jeri know that Leomon is her partner?" He puts a hand over the speaker and yells out to Jeri. "How do you know that Leomon's your partner?" Jeri says, "It's destiny!" He takes his hand off the speaker and says, "Jeri says its destiny." Henry sighs and says, "That doesn't sound right. I'm on my way. Bye." He says, "Bye." He pushes something to end the call and then puts change into the phone.
He then dials the number for Rika's. "Hello?" A voice asks. "Hi, this is Takato. Is Rika there?" He asks. "Hold on a minute. I'll see." The voice says. He hears that same voice call out Rika's name. Soon Rika picks up the phone and asks, "Hello?" "Hey Rika. This is Takato. There's this problem at the park." He says. "What kind of problem?" Rika asks. "Jeri thinks that this Leomon is her partner, but Leomon isn't buying it." He says. "Does she have a Digivice?" "Hold on, I'll ask her." He says and then puts his hand over the speaker. "Hey Jeri! Where's you Digivice?" He asks the girl as she passes him by. "I don't have one. Is that all?" Jeri asks. "Thanks!" He yells out.
He uncovers the phone and says, "That's a negative." "I'm coming, so don't do anything stupid until we get there." Rika says and they both hang up the phone. "Both Henry and Rika are on their way." He informs the pair of Digimon hanging around him.
They turn to watch Jeri chase Leomon. After they pass him eight times, Leomon heads into the bushes and soon Jeri comes out screaming. He watches as some small Digimon is attacking Leomon. He takes out his D-Ark and soon gets info on the rodent Digimon.
Kumbhiramon
Ultimate level Digimon
Attribute: Vaccine
Exalted Beast type. Attacks are Deva Clone and Treasure Pestle.
He reclips his D-Ark onto his belt lop. Leomon pushes Kumbhiramon away with his sword and says, "You just had to come back, didn't you?" The rodent Digimon snickers and says, "Just wait until we multiply. Deva Clone!" The rat Deva makes five clones and they surround Leomon. He shakes his head slightly, signalling Guilmon to stand down. This is Leomon's fight, he just hopes that Leomon can handle the Digital rodent without any help.
He pauses and turns to some bushes. He spots that freaky kid and he decides to confront the kid while Leomon and Kumbhiramon fight it out. He hears Guilmon falls in behind him. He reaches the kid and finally knows just what the kid is.
"You're the monkey Deva." He says simply. The shock on the Digimon's face as quite funny, the jaw drops and then the face frowns. Soon anger is register in the monkey's eyes. "How did you figure it out? This disguise is fool proof!" The Digimon says in an angry tone. "I just know that's all I need to say on the matter. What do you want?" He asks.
The monkey growls and the disguise dissolves and there stands the monkey's true form. "I don't have to answer that. Now hand over that cream puff!" The monkey Deva orders. "You want the power to Digivolve. That's what your master is looking for, but here's the question, why is Calumon here? You can't answer that, can you?" He says. The monkey Deva growls and grinds his teeth together. "I bet I know why. If Calumon returns to the Digital World, something horrible will happen. Calumon's place is in the real world, not the Digital one now. Your master hopes that his brothers wouldn't know what he's up, for he knows that they'll object. He's in the wrong and he knows it, but he has too much pride to admit this. He just wants to get his on us humans." He says and the increase on the growls proves his point.
"You think you know everything! But you're wrong! Calumon isn't a natural Digimon! He belongs more in the Digital World more then in this one. It's a mistake that sent the light of Digital Evolution into the real world, and I'm here to correct that mistake!" The Digital monkey yells and charges him. He ducks down and hears Guilmon say, "Pryo Sphere!" The fireball hits the monkey in the face.
He takes out his D-Tector. He moves to get more room to Spirit Evolve into Enlilmon. Just as the monkey gets up, he cries out, "Spirit Evolution!" He feels power flow around him and then out of him. He feels the changes occur and soon he exclaims, "Enlilmon!"
It's the second time that the monkey Deva looks humorous. He smirks and says, "I believe its rumble time, monkey." He turns to look at Guilmon and says softly, "I'll take care of this, boy. Just go and inform Henry and Rika about finding the monkey, ok?" Guilmon nods and turns tail and heads away.
"You're a freak of nature! I'll correct this, human's aren't allowed to become Digimon!" The monkey says and charges forward. He blocks the series of punches and kicks that the monkey deals him. He shifts his weight and sends the monkey backwards. He then takes to the air and charges the monkey, it's the Digital monkey's turn to block his attacks.
He backs up as the monkey cries out, "Primal Orb!" He takes out Hydra and slices the attacking ball in half. He then slashes at the Deva and some of the attacks hit the monkey. Then the monkey punches the sword out of his hands. He then says, "Blazing Ancient!" The punch hits the Digimon in the stomach.
The monkey is sent into a tree. Then before he could stop or warn the monkey about picking up Hydra, the monkey grabs hold of the sword. The monkey uses both hands on the hilt and he just shakes his head sadly. "What's wrong? Don't like having your own weapon turned on you?" The monkey says. Then the twin blade begin to glow, one purple black and the other blue black. An image of a two-headed dragon appears behind the monkey. "Hydra's more then a weapon, monkey." He says simply. "I should have warned you." He adds as the monkey turns to face the two-headed dragon ghost.
The monkey lets go of Hydra, but the attacks just pass right through the image. Then the blue/black head surges forward and bites down on the left arm of the Monkey. The purple/black head goes for the neck. Then both heads glow bright and both the image of the two-headed dragon and the monkey disappears into nothingness.
He walks over and picks up the sword. It stops glowing once he puts his hand on the hilt. He sheaths Hydra and shakes his head sadly. He put that in as a defence, so that the enemy can't use Hydra against him or his allies. If say Renamon tried to use it, it would have glowed as the fox uses it to attack, but it would in time burn Renamon's paws. He thought that it was a really good idea and now he just is sad that the monkey Deva died the way he did. He guesses that it was very painful way to go, judging from the screams that the monkey Deva let loose.
He turns and heads to where Guilmon will most likely be. He did figure out that theirs more to the master of the Devas and that this guy was one of a group, how large the group is, he doesn't know yet. The scene he finds as he approaches is also a downer.
He blinks as Jeri is crying and Henry is trying to comfort the upset girl. He finds that Rika and Renamon give him questioning look and he says, "He's gone. I did get some info though. I mostly took a few shots in the dark and more then a few paid off." The pair nods and just then Jeri turns and looks him up and down.
Then Jeri asks, "What kind of Digimon are you?" He blinks and then remembers that he hasn't changed back yet. He kind of forgot about it. "Right now, I'm Enlilmon. Just promise not to tell Kazu and Kenta about this, ok?" He asks. Jeri looks confused and nods. He soon is encased in a ball of light and he changes back into his usual self. Jeri blinks for a whole minute truly surprise at what happened and finally ask, "How did you do that, Takato?" Everyone just sighs and he wonders if he could explain this later, maybe during lunch tomorrow.
