Chapter 9:Flames of rage

"Davis, please!" A small dino-humaniod digimon was shouting at Davis through a cage.
"I'm sorry Veemon, but until you join our cause, I can't!"
"But you don't under-!"
"I understand fine. You think that I should be in there with you!"
Veemon's eyes fell on the stone floor. 'He really did brainwash you.' Veemon wanted out, but not if it endangered his friend.
"Alright, I'll stay."
"Good. See ya Veemon."
'I just hope Biyomon wasn't caught.' Veemon thought as Davis left into the dark corridor.

The team of 14 were walking through the forest. Somewhere, the Jurassic park theme was playing and everyone except Grady was getting annoyed(a/n:I'll let you do the math). Gavin finally snapped, faced Grady, and said "Will you shut up?"
"What, it seems like the perfect song." Grady immeditaley answered back.
"After hearing the Jurassic Park song 20 times in a row, it makes me want to put a bullet in my head." Luci retorted toward Grady.
"Fine. " Grady said, defeated. "Then can---"
"No Final Fantasy either!" Gavin diddn't even have to wait for Grady to finish.
"Damnit!" Grady muttered under his breath.
'Don't even say it!' Grady thought to his new found voice.
"As you wish." It simply replied.
"Hey, Gav?" Grady started.
"No KH either!"
"I was gonna ask about Super Smash Bros. Melee."
Before Gavin could answer, Luna cut in. "Hey, what's that?"They all turned their heads toward the direction that Luna was pointing to see a pink bird-like creature on the ground, not moving at all.
"Oh no!" Meramon said as he rushed over to the bird.
"Wait up Meramon." Harpymon screamed as he followed him, the other dozen right behind Harpymon.

When they managed to catch up to Meramon, he was shaking the bird's head, mumbling "Please, don't die on me. Please!"
The bird's eyes started to slowly open and saw Meramon. "Me..ra..mon?" The bird creature asked.
"Thank god you're okay." Meramon said happily. "I'm so glad to see you again, Biyomon."
"MERAMON!" Biyomon said happyily. "I knew I could find someone!"
"Meramon, is this friend of yours?" Gavin asked his partner
'Is the Pope catholic?" Grady thought as he rolled his eyes. Gavin immidietly slapped Grady. "HEY! You know that's what I do!"
Biyomon saw this and smiled, or at least that's what the others thought, and said "New digidestined! Maybe I can free the others!"
"What about the others?" Meramon asked the bird.
"This creature locked me and all the other Digimon in cages and he...he..." Biyomon couldn't finish before she burst into tears.
"Damn him!" Lightscythemon muttered under her breath. "Do you think you can take us to the team?"
"I bet she can, but we got company first." Waterscythemon said as she pulled her scythe out. She could see mroe enemies coming through the bushes. "Don't these guys ever give up?"
"I can't digivolve without Sora, so there's no way I can help." Biyomon said, thinking that they were already defeated."
"Don't worry, we'll protect you." Elecmon said, jumping out of Grady's hands.
"You ready Luci?" Cerberumon asked her partner.
"Always am." Luci said as she pulled out her crystal.
"Same here, Elecmon." Grady said as he got ready as well.
Biyomon watched in awe as the four disappeared and two warriors replaced them. "Amazing..." was the only thing Biyomon could say.
The two stood ready as they saw their opponents. They could make out the form of a Devidramon, a Blackgatomon, and a Myotismon.
"Luci, stay back." Grady ordered.
"Why?" Luci hissed.
"These Digimon are darkness-based, and you use darkness-based attacks."
"Fine." Luci growled out. "But then, If the same goes for reverse, let me be your shield."
"Alright." Grady remarked.

Gavin was chuckling at their conversation. Luna noticed this and asked him what was so funny. Gavin replied "I never thought the Grady's video game knowledge would come in handy one day."
"Umm..."
"Grady is a gamer, and speaks gamer as well. he's a freak and now, his gaming knowledge can be used."
"Oh..." was all that Luna could say.

"Atomic thunder ray!" Grady shout and about 10,000 volts of electricity came out of his hands. The charged ray of electrons(a/n:sorry, geek in me talkin') destroyed the Blackgatomon and the Devidramon, but Myotismon was left unfazed.Myotismon countered with his famous 'Grizzly wing.' and tossed back the two. As they hit the ground, they transformed back into their original froms, out cold.
"Now what are we supposed to do" Karina asked as Myotismon slowly stepped toward them. Gavin ran in front of his friends, arms outstretched.
"You really think you could protect them?" Myotismon asked, his voice resembling what a snake would sound like.
"I may not be able to, but I'm not afraid to die to the likes of you!" Gavin said this and his crystal started to glow a flame-like red. The light engulfed him and Meramon and they were replaced by a flaming warrior in red armor. This new warrior had flames slipping out of the space in his armor. His helm covered his entire face and held a red sword in his left hand.
Grady had woken up by this time and shouted at Gavin "Jump when he gets ready to launch a Grizzly Wing!"
Gavin nodded and ran in to fight. He started by using his sword in a technique that showed that he was in a rage, but Myotismon blocked or dodged them. Then, Myotismon got ready for another Grizzly wing, so instinct kicked in for Gavin and he jumped to about 20 feet. "Flare divebomb!" Gavin said as headed back to the ground, flames growing larger. He collided with Myotismon, creating an explosion just barely not reaching the others.

When it died down, Gavin jumped out of the new carter and turned back into himself and Meramon as they both fell on the ground in exhaustion. Everyone except Grady and Karina ran over to, for Grady and Karina were trying to wake up Luci. When that didn't work, they carried her over to the others and they all decided to camp here for the night, For Gavin and Luci needed to rest.
"If this is going to happen every time we transform, we're done." Chris said.
"Your right, but I think the transformations just take some getting used to." Will said.
"I can't wait to see what I'll be like." Luna said as she looked up and down Waterscythemon's body and then at her crystal.

"You hum a fanfare, and I will beat the snot out of you." Gavin told Grady in a definite tone."I see you still have enough energy to run your mouth." Grady slyly remarked.
"Shut up, you two!" Karina said whacking Grady over the head. She was about to whack Gavin too when Grady but in.
"Dah-ah-ah! That's my job!" Grady said as he whacked Gavin.
"He is right." Gavin stated. "He always whacks me when I do something stupid."
"And you don't fight back?" Will inquiried.
"On a rare occasion, Yes, Will." Grady answered Will.
"Enough talk, let's just get ready for camp. The sun's about to set already." Chris said.
"I don't understand why it's so dangerous to travel at night."
"Alot stronger Digimon roam at night." Biyomon replied.
"And considering the trouble we had with that whatever-it's-called--" Chris started
"Myotismon." Biyomon corrected him.
"Whatever. Anyways, I don't think that we could survive traveling at night."
"Ugh! Look, There's a lake nearby, I'm going for some time to myself, k?" Grady said.
"Sure, whatever." Gavin said, while the others just stared at him blankly.
"Cool!" Grady said as he dissappeared into the trees. When he was gone, They all asked why he left to a lake. Gavin replied "He likes to be alone sometimes." Then, he volunteered to get food with Meramon.

MK25:God I wish I recorded that roast.
Grady:At least you managed to stop at the roast of Denis Leary.
MK25:Whatever. R and R/R+R/whatever variation you like. I should mention that--
Grady:He and I really do speak gamer and chat in real life. Same for smacking Gavin.
MK25:You stole my line!
Grady:Later, peoples!
MK25:O-o
Grady:what?
