MK25: Hey…uhh…what was I going to say?
Grady: Don't you hate when that happens, when you have a thought and you forget it when you're about to get to it?
MK25: Yeah, anyway I'm still surprised that a Twix bar was enough to pull me out from under the bed…Wait a sec!
Grady whistles innocently
Mk25: You got that from LeLoLa!
Grady: Oooooooooooooooooooooooooook-
MK25: Don't steal my line!
Grady: But, I am you.
MK25: Oh yeah…

Chapter 12: Hurricane's Union and the Fire Being

Nightmaredramon was sitting in his usual place monitoring the team's progress. He was peeved now. "Why can't they hurry up to get all of them to unlock their abilities." He then turned to seven tubes barely visible in the darkness. Five carried something inside of them, but two were empty. "My new force will not be complete without those to. Skullmeramon!" A flaming figure instantly appeared behind Nightmaredramon.
"Yes, master?" the figure asked.
"Go and take on those digidestined; and I don't care if you live or die!"
"But master-!"
"Do not worry, if you die, I can re-animate your body."
"Yes, master. I will go and fight."
He was just about to leave when Nightmaredramon added one last thing. "Skullmeramon?"
"Yes?"
"Make sure you don't come back to this room until the water and wind digidestined show themselves."
"Yes, master," And then Skullmeramon left.
'Soon, they shall be complete, and I'll have the digidestined fighting their worst enemy: Themselves!' This leaded to maniacal laugh that bad guys usually do.

Gavin and everyone were standing at the end of a forest. They where arguing about whether they should enter or not.
"I don't know," Will stated. "You really think he might be in there? Looks kinda dark…"
"And easy to get lost in!" Biyomon blurted.
"I still say he's in there!" Elecmon stated.
"I don't know," Luci said. "If he's not in there, we could be stuck for days trying to get out."
"Remember the last time you guys didn't listen to one person's judgment?" Elecmon stated.
"What's past is past," Chris replied. "Now, we pay attention to the present and future."
Elecmon was obviously angered by this. "I'm going in there, even if it's by myself!"

But before he could run in, a ring of fire surrounded the team. A Digimon passed through the fire. A metal mask covered its face and chains adorned his body. It had a human-like body, and blue flames came off its body like an aura. Its lower body was covered with black pants with flame designs on the sides, and shoes with the front of a skull attached to the toes."What the-!" Gavin stated in shock
"Skullmeramon." Meramon growled out.
"Pleased to meet you too," He stated jokingly to the team. "Now, can we skip the intros and get to business."

Grady was trying to find his way out of the forest with some difficulty, but not much. He then noticed something through the veil of the trees. "Smoke…?" he whispered. "It could be a fire. I'd better investigate." He then headed toward the source of the smoke.

Gavin, Karina, Luci and Chris were having a tough time with this enemy. Because of the fact that he could launch the chains around his body to hinder their movements, they had trouble approaching. Chris tried his sinking into the dirt trick, but Skullmeramon was still able to track him and nailed him with a "heat chain". Will and Luna could only watch as this guy beat their friends to a pulp. Eventually, Will got fed up. "I can't sit back anymore!" Will said before he rushed into fight. He was still moving when his crystal glowed for him.
As usual, the glow enveloped him and his partner and in Will's place was an amazing creature. Harpymon's wings had become Will's swords. He also now had talons. A hood covered his face except for his mouth, and he was lightly armored with metal plates on his shoulders and knees. He rushed in to attack Skullmeramon.
"HEAVY METAL FIRE!" Skullmeramon screamed as he blasted Will with a fireball of blue flames, But before it connected, Will warped behind Skullmeramon to attack. Skullmeramon barely dodged the insanely quick onslaught. Luna looked helpless as he saw Will fight on. Then, she had a content look on her face.

"Hey, you big, dumb pyro!" She shouted to Skullmeramon. Skullmeramon looked over in surprise. "I may be the last one, but I'm still a contender!" That was when her crystal started to glow.
When it had subdued, in Luna's place was a warrior much like Karina. The only differences where that Luna now had blue hair and eyes, and she carried a dagger.
With this, Skullmeramon chuckled and thought, 'Now that my mission is over, I can have my way with them.'

Grady found the source of the smoke. In front of him was a wall of fire. Inside he heard familiar sound, battle cries and the like. 'There are digimon fighting in there?''Quite possibly.' Thunderscythemon said to him.
He stared at the ground in disbelief. 'If only I could help.'
'You can.'
Grady then looked at the hilt of his sword. "Guess I just got to trust in my destiny…" He muttered as he entered the blazing wall.

Even though they outnumbered Skullmeramon severely, they still couldn't win. They lay strewn on the ground in agony and pain, each of them out of their transformation.
"That's all?" Skullmeramon said to the 6 fighters. "I was hoping for it to be more fun."
"FIRE KNIVES!" Skullmeramon had barely enough time to dodge a flurry of knives coming from the wall of flames. When it ended, A Digimon unlike any other exited the wall. He had an appearance like a Weregarurumon, except there were chains of fire tied around each wrist and ankle separately. In between its knuckles were knives made of fire, three for each hand.
"Who are you!" Skullmeramon asked the digimon.
"You don't to know anything except that you will die by my hand."
"We'll see about that. HEAT CHAIN!" Skullmeramon launched his chains at the digimon, but it wrapped around the digimon's arm and was grabbed and pulled away from Skullmeramon.
"I'll show you a true attack. PYRO ONSLAUGHT!" The knives in each hand combined into one large fireball in his right hand. The digimon gripped the fireball, and let go of it. The fireball spilt into several hundred smaller fireballs, which were launched at Skullmeramon furiously. Skullmeramon couldn't dodge this and he knew it. So, he could only watch as the hundreds of fireballs drew closer and closer until they finally hit. Even though fire wouldn't normally hurt Skullmeramon, this attack did. Before he could fall to the ground, he disappeared into data. The ring of fire surrounding them then calmed and disappeared.

The digimon then turned to the team, which were either assisting the fallen, or trying to stand. The digimon walked over to the team. "Everyone here okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, we're fine." Biyomon replied.
"Good…" The digimon said.
"Hey!" Gavin shouted. The digimon turned to him. "Thanks for the save."
The digimon chuckled before he glowed a bright light. His form rearranged into a being a bit smaller than his previous form. When the light dissipated, the team stood in shock at what they saw.

Nightmaredramon looked at the tubes in the room he was in. "Excellent, they are complete. Awaken, my new creations."At an instant, all seven creatures inside their casings open their eyes and burst out of the tubes. They all looked toward Nightmaredramon and kneeled. Each of them looked like one of the digidestined when combined with their digimon
"State your names, my children."
One at a time, each one stood and stated their names, starting with Gavin's counterpart, and going down the line in the elements.
"Fuoco."
"Mizu."
"Tuuli."
"Mondiale."
"Lumen."
"Yami."
"Ukkonen."
"Good," Nightmaredramon stated in satisfaction. "Now go, wreak havoc in my name.
Each silently nodded and disappeared. 'Soon, very soon…

MK25: And, end scene. I stop here for the next chapter.
Grady: If you've been following the chapter, you know who the digidestined are looking at.
MK25: Some names are obvious, most aren't. I already translated them. Here is the list:

Tuuli – wind
Yami – darkness
Lumen – light
Fuoco – fire
Mondiale – earth
Mizu – water
Ukkonen – thunder
