Chapter 10

They back away from the red Digimon. Henry takes out his D-Ark and says out loud the Digimon's information.

Vermilimon

Ultimate level Digimon

Attribute: Data

Dinosaur type. Attacks are Reformat and Verm Blaze.

The Vermilimon reminds him of Monochromon, but only red. The Vermilimon roars and sends a fireball their way. They dodge it and they press themselves to the walls. The listen as Vermilimon growls and stomps around, shaking the whole place.

They didn't say a word and he transforms into Enlilmon. Terriermon steps into the entrance and uses Bunny Blaster on Vermilimon. After the fireball is sent, he charges into the camber with Hydra drawn. He cries out, "Ebony Slash!" Vermilimon roars out in pain and he enters the camber. He's stunned at the size of it, but refocuses into on the ultimate level Digimon.

He's lucky that Vermilimon can't lift his head up that high to shot out those fireballs. "Verm Blaze!" Vermilimon says. He backs as far as he can get from the heat that Vermilimon unleashed. He growls and charges Vermilimon head on. He cuts off the nose horn of Vermilimon, the Digimon roars out in pain and cries out, "Reformat!"

Before his eyes Vermilimon glows red and data recompiles to become the horn once more. "O." Is all he can say to that. He now wonders just how to defeat Vermilimon. He guesses that during the whole reformatting occurrence that Vermilimon can't move or it'll cancel the healing, but the problem was his attacks aren't strong enough to do much damage during that period of time.

Something glows and he turns to find his Beast Spirit coming to him. He takes out his D-Tector and cries, "Spirit!" The totem heads right into his D-Tector. "Slide Evolution!" He cries out and he feels the change occur.

His arms become leather bat-like wings and he grows nine-foot tail with five wicked barbs growing around the end of it. His body grows to be thirty-two feet, which starts from the back of his skull to the tip of his barbed tail. His neck is seven feet long as well as long and slender. He has a four-foot long skull with short pair of dark green horns growing on his head. The beast he based his Beast Spirit on is the mythical Wyvern. The colours for the beast spirit were dirty brown and dark green. The symbol in yellow his forehead. The armour like scales are dark green and appear from the tip of his nose along the back of his neck and back to the tip of his tail. Around his talon legs are four toes with three-inch long talons. Cerawmon thrives in battle and all of his attacks are energized from the element of Light.

His emotions rages through out his being. He roars in a much higher pitch tone and launches himself at the challenger. His only thoughts were simple and direct. 'Kill! Kill! KILL!' He slashes out with his talon feet and snaps at the eyes of the Vermilimon. The clawed thumb on the wings dig under the armour of the red Digimon to help keep him on his enemy. The wings are folded up tight so that his enemy can't ruin them.

He soon successes in blinking the one eye and pushes off the red Digimon, his enemy roars in pain and he motives in the air to latch onto the other side of the face to blink that eye. "Reformat!" His enemy cries out and he lands on the ground. He pulls himself onto his legs and with his wings folded up tightly; he begins to attack Vermilimon with his folded wings and his jaws. He spins around and uses his Tail Mace on the red Digimon's head. The glowing aura retreats and he once more limbers over as quickly as he can to renew his attack on Vermilimon. He uses his wings and moves much like a gorilla would, but he's talons scrap the floor as he moves.

Vermilimon's scent becomes fearful and that only increases his need to kill his enemy. He uses all of his strength to launch himself into the air. His wings open and attack Vermilimon by using his Tail Mace attack. How it works is he would dive bomb Vermilimon and his tail would do damage as he flies up, the tail would swing down and then up. Vermilimon's cries of pain continue.

Soon his enemy doesn't get up and he lands once more. He moves cautiously towards the unmoving Digimon. He pause and then ends Vermilimon's life with a simple and quick bite to the neck.

He roars out in victory and begins to feel the damage he had taken. He blinks as something moves into the chamber. He growls and feels his strength return as the figures draws closer to him. He hears the sounds that the tall figure says, but he moves his head down and hisses threateningly. Then he snaps his jaws within an inch of the tall ones body. He stares into the eyes and he can tell that the figure didn't try to attack. He relaxes a bit and his energy once more leaves him.

He doesn't know what the sounds the Digimon and creature say, he only knows that he's getting tired. He is sore from his injuries and he doesn't feel threatened by the pair before him. He curls up and lets himself fall asleep.

(----Henry----)

He sighs as Cerawmon curls up and falls asleep. "I can't believe he snapped at you! You should have let me teach him a lessen!" Terriermon says. He shakes his head and draws closer to his friend. "He was just testing us to see if we're a threat, Terriermon. You noticed how once Vermilimon was gone that he began to flag until he noticed us? I think his incredible comes from the adrenalin and one he doesn't feel the need to fight, he begins to feel the injuries he substance during the fight. It also why he's sleeping now, he drained and he needs his rest. I think its safe to leave him here and forage for food. I think snapping him out will take a while and the least we can do is gain his trust right now." He says.

Terriermon just sighs and nods. He leaves his pack with Cerawmon and they head out for look for food. He knows from reading that story about those Digidestined humans that transformed into Digimon, that the first time using of the Beast Spirit is the hardest for the individual. He's glad that Takato didn't do anything he might regret later.

He just hopes they have enough time to snap Takato out of this. He doesn't like the idea of being separated from the others for very long. He does know on thing for sure, it's that Cerawmon's whole defence was to be as offensive as possible. He noticed how the strategy was to keep the enemy totally defensive as possible. Cerawmon prefers to over power the enemy with brute force and though Cerawmon looks kind of scrawny, he packs more of a punch then he lets on. But then it might come from all of the adrenalin pumping through him.

They find some eatable roots and they continue to explore around. They might be in this area for a few days and it's good to know the lay out of this area so they know where to hid if something attacks them and they're not willing to fight it. He just hopes that Cerawmon is omnivorous; he doubts he'll find any fish in this place.

)-()-(

He gently touches a bruise on Cerawmon's left shoulder. He knows that Cerawmon stiffens and then relaxes. Cerawmon turns and continues to eat the roots before him. He then plasters the bruise with some healing herbs cashed together. He can't believe that just yesterday Cerawmon defeated Vermilimon and already is feeling more energetic. Surprisingly, it seems that Cerawmon remembered them from yesterday so they didn't have to worry about getting tested by the beast spirit.

It also seems that because of that simple test that Cerawmon trusts them almost completely. He would like to think that it's cause Takato's memories, but he can tell that Cerawmon doesn't understand what they're saying, but the tone.

He moves and heads touches Cerawmon's wing. Cerawmon looks at him with the glowing green eyes and then opens the wing as he shifts his weight to his right wing and legs. The tail lies flatly on the ground as support. He once more plasters the herbs onto the spots with bruises.

He finishes and moves back to let Cerawmon flex his wing. Cerawmon then look under the wing and then over it. Then it folds up, just not as tightly as it was before. He sits down by some rubble as he observes his friend. The roots are all gone and Cerawmon turns to look him in the eye. They're an indicator that the Beast Spirit is in control.

Cerawmon pause and looks to the stairway. Cerawmon growls and then the growls turn into hisses. Cerawmon's whole frame, he whispers, "Terriermon." His partner wakes up and looks at Cerawmon. "Trouble, huh? What kind of trouble Lassie?" His partner asks. He sighs and wonders why Terriermon is comparing Cerawmon to some herd dog from a film.

He gets up and Terriermon follows. "Just stay here. I'll be back, ok?" He says gently and encouragingly to Cerawmon. The dragon like Digimon pauses and stares at him, he feels Cerawmon's gaze at him as they walk up the stairs.

He just pokes his head out of the ground then hears a click of a gun. He slowly moves to look at the one holding the gun. He blinks as he finds a pair of red eyes. "Get up slowly, human." The Digimon informs him. He moves slowly out of the hole and soon another gun appears in the other hand. "You too bunny." The Digimon holding the guns orders.

He has a really bad feeling about this. He just prays that Cerawmon doesn't do anything foolish.

(----Takato----)

He can smell the angry and arrogances of this intruder. He also can smell the fear coming from the odd creature that made his injuries feel better and from the small Digimon. His heart rate increases and he need to kill this threat increases once the he smells satisfaction come off this enemy to be.

He moves silently over the ground, trying his best to keep his talons from scratching the floor as he goes. He feels being fill with strength and his rage builts as well. He can hear the sounds from above him, but he a part of him knows that he should understand what they mean. He moves to the beginning of the stairs and they're too small to hold his weight. He also can't see a way to fly up either.

He pauses and studies this once more. He can feel the energy from the stairs and he thinks one word. 'Open.' The stairs move out of the way and he can soon see sunlight filtering down. He steps into it and absorbs some of its energy to help heal him quickly.

He freezes as he hears a cry of distress coming from above him. He leaps into the air and as quickly as he can, he roars out his challenge as he emerges from the ground. He snaps at the guns that the enemy has aimed at … Henry and Terriermon. The Digimon curse and he begins to think of things as he circles over the ground moving Digimon and human.

He blinks as memories surge through his mind and he screech out in pain that he's in. Remembering hurts his brain, but it also helps him understand what needs to be done. He shouts out in a rough voice, "Solar Storm!" He flaps his wings, aiming at the mega level Digimon. Soon light dances around the demon lord and Henry with Terriermon run for it. He dive bombs the pair, picking them up carefully, and flees. He's happy that Henry has his backpack with him, he doesn't want to head back to retrieve it from the cavern.

"Thanks, Takato!" Henry says. "What are friends for?" He asks in his rough voice. "I don't suppose I can ride on your back, huh?" Terriermon asks. "Later." He says simply. He doesn't know just where they're headed, but he's happy to be among friends.

(----Rika----)

She can't believe that they ended up in a data stream themselves. They only lost Takato, Henry, and Terriermon just yesterday and now they found themselves in some weird place where it's mostly snow and gears. Though lucky, Guilmon has a lot of supplies, for it seems that Takato kept Guilmon from eating all of it in a few sittings. They also kept Kazu and Kenta from doing the same.

"Hey! Look, it's a clock!" Kazu yells out. She just ignores the visor boy and focuses in on the clock. "It looks like a something is keeping the second hand from moving." She says. They head in close to the clock and examine it.

"Should we pull it out?" Jeri asks. "I don't know. It's there for a reason, we should just leave it alone." She replies. "Aren't you a tiny bit curious about why someone doesn't want the second hand to move?" Kazu asks.

"Don't touch that!" They hear someone say. They turn to find a walking clock heading their way. Following the animated clock Digimon is a gear Digimon. "Why not?" Jeri asks. "If the second hand lands on the twelve, then something really bad happens!" The clock Digimon answers. "Yea!" The gear Digimon says. "That's it?" Kenta asks. "That's it." The pair of metal Digimon replies.

"Hey, wait! Your humans and you have Digimon, does this mean that you're Tamers?" Clockmon asks. "Then you must have come from the real world!" Hagurumon says to their partner Digimon. "We have been to the real world." Renamon acknowledged.

"It's not in there very well." Guilmon says and they all turn in time to watch as Guilmon accidentally destroys the clock. They all just stare at the large rookie and Guilmon says, "Oppsie?" The ground begins to rumble and soon they all turn around to watch as a large orange dragon Digimon emerge from the ground. Jeri and her take out their D-Arks and read the info on the orange Digimon.

Megadramon

Ultimate level Digimon

Attribute: Virus

Dark dragon type. Attacks are Dark Side Attack and Parry Force.

"Its an ultimate." Jeri says fearfully. She says, "Renamon?" "I'm ready Rika." Renamon says. Jeri gathers her courage and says, "Leomon?" "Ready." The champion Digimon says and takes out his sword.

She swipes a card and soon Renamon Digivolves into Kyubimon. The fox and lion charge the orange dragon. "Dragon Wheel!" Kyubimon shouts. "Fist of the Beast King!" Leomon roars out. The attacks hit the ultimate dragon on his side.

Megadramon grunts and uses his tail to send Kyubimon and Leomon flying. Both champion Digimon flip around so they land on their feet. Both Digimon share a look and they split up. Megadramon growls as Kyubimon attack using Fox Tail Inferno and when Megadramon focuses in on her partner, Jeri's partner would then use Fist of the Beast King on Megadramon. Megadramon tries to keep track of both, but Leomon and Kyubimon aren't making it easy, they keep moving around and attacking just when Megadramon focuses on one of them.

Just as Megadramon starts to say, "Dark Sid…" Some other Digimon growls out, "Desolation Claw!" "Great, another one!" She growls out. Jeri has her D-Ark out and reads it out the information on the new Digimon.

Cyberdramon

Ultimate level Digimon

Attribute: Vaccine

Android type. Attacks are Desolation Claw and Cyber Nail.

"That's one mean Digimon, that for sure." Kazu says. Kenta nods in agreement with his friend. Then a new voice says, "How did the clock get destroyed?" They all turn and she narrows her eyes as she looks at Ryo. Guilmon pipes in, "I broke it. Sorry." Ryo looks stunned and shakes his head. "I've never seen a Digimon like you before." Mr. Perfect says. "That's cause Takato created me! I wish Takato was here…" Guilmon says sadly.

They all turn to watch as Cyberdramon, Leomon, and Kyubimon bring down Megadramon. Then Cyberdramon says, "Cyber Nail!" The attack hits Megadramon head on and the orange Digimon breaks into data. Leomon sheaths his sword and Kyubimon walks towards her.

Cyberdramon growls at Leomon and Ryo tells his partner, "Cyberdramon! Stand down!" When Cyberdramon doesn't obey, Ryo takes out his Digivice and an energy rope moves to grab Cyberdramon's arm. Ryo pulls on his Digivice and says, "I said, stand down!" Cyberdramon stops growling and turns his back on Leomon. The rope unties itself from Cyberdramon and disappears back to where it came from.

She snorts as Kazu and Kenta start drooling over the so-called 'Digimon King.' Then when Jeri asked why Ryo's nickname is the 'Digimon King,' the pair starts off by listing tournaments that Ryo won and even mentioned his win over her. To say that she's less then pleased would be a forest fire being called a campfire.

"Lets go for a walk, Kyubimon." She says to her partner. She turns and heads off in a random direction. She'll be back when she feels calm enough to be in his company.

)-()-(

It's evening when they arrived in this odd town. The buildings were crocked and the placed lacked colour. She glances around as Ryo leads them around this area. Soon they find a house and Ryo says, "I usually sleep at the castle, but it's nightfall and Knightmon is roaming the halls right now, so this will just have to do." "Whatever." She replies and soon sits down. The others group around and talk among themselves; she could careless at the moment what they're talking about. She just wants to get some sleep, she feels her partner by her and soon she lies down on the floor. She feels Renamon's heat from her back and begins to relax; soon she's having dreams about a certain goggle wearing kid and sky gazing.
