Chapter 5

He glances over to Kouji for confidence. Ever since that encounter with NeoDevimon, he still has nightmares. It also revealed just how much he cared about Kouji. They were best friends and though he has a crush on Zoe, it's Kouji who's been there for him. Don't get him wrong, he loves Kouji but not in the way a guy likes a girl, not this was different. It was like Kouji was his brother, one that he feels he couldn't live with out. And as odd as it might sound, he thinks that Kouji feels the same way too.

Sure they both have blood brothers, but they have grown close ever since their first time in the Digital world. Sure Kouji and Koichi were close, but there were times when Kouji wants his opinion about something and trusts him to keep quite about it. Mostly it's about advice about brotherly things. He is great friends with Koichi, but it's Kouji that he's grown close to out of the whole gang.

He does think Tommy as a younger brother or a cousin, but they haven't been as close as they had been during their time in the Digital World. He accepted that, for Tommy does need friends his own age and Tommy does have an older brother to bond with too. JP is a good friend and so is Zoe, but he doesn't hang out with them that much.

Then there's Koichi, he does consider Koichi second to Kouji though and he thinks that Koichi knows this and isn't envious about it either. Koichi is probably the only one that knows just how close Kouji and him are out of the whole group. What's more is that Koichi doesn't seem to be jealous of how close he is to his younger brother and is kind of relieved about that. He didn't want Kouji to chose between Koichi and him.

He sighs and studies Takato once more. Odd as it was, they did end up listening to what the pre-teen during battle. Takato does have the talent to be a great leader. He also was coming to view Takato as a great friend, for it was hard to not like the guy. Takato was kind, thoughtful, courageous, and a great fighter.

He turns to look forward to where they're headed. He wonders what Digimon they can expect to attack them today.

(----Takato----)

He is currently feeling tense for they have yet to be attacked today by any Digimon. They were all tense and were on high alert as they near a river. Their target is this mountain that started to loom over them for four days now. He turns his head slightly to see if Takuya and Kouji were walking side by side.

Sure enough they were and he glances over at Koichi but notes that Koichi seems to be lost in thought, so he turns to watch the river before them. They were planning to stop and rest, for they haven't rested in over four hours and they all were kind of tired. They just didn't feel very restful; despite they sleep soundly at night.

"What was that?" Kouji asks. They all pause and listen for something. "Giga Lance!" They hear someone cry out, they quickly duck as the air above them swish. He studies the Digimon that is their current enemy. The Digimon has metallic blue armour with yellow stripes on the leg and arm parts. Red hair sprouts from behind the helmet. Four white wings rest on this Digimon's back. The right arm has this needle like blade arm. Once more he notes the X mark on the head plate.

"Who is this guy?" Takuya asks once they get up off the ground. "I'm Darkdramon! One of the Generals of MetalPhantomon's army and you're doom!" Darkdramon says. He wasn't the only one clueless as to what a Darkdramon is. "Just what is a Darkdramon?" Koichi asks what they're all thinking. The Digimon stiffens and growls out, "Darkdramon is an android type Digimon, mega level virus." His eyes widen at the mention of mega, he sighs and just hopes that his Fusion form will be powerful enough to battle this guy.

They all take out their D-Tectors and he summons the codes for his Fusion form, Kurashimon. "Spirit Evolution!" He cries once he finishes scanning the ringlets of data. Within a minute he cries out, "Kurashimon!" He takes out Hydra and turns to his left to find Aldamon and Beowolfmon were ready to fight. He turns his head slightly to his right and watches JagerLoewemon stiffen.

He snaps his head forward as he hears Aldamon shout out, "Solar Wind Destroyer!" Darkdramon flies out of the way of the attack, Beowolfmon takes aim and shouts out, "Cleansing Light!" He takes to the air with Hydra in hand. Once more Darkdramon evades an attack. Darkdramon charges him with his right arm, he blocks using Hydra. They push at each other, they move slightly back and forward for a good three minutes and then they break apart.

Aldamon joins him in the air and charges Darkdramon with his golden plates covering the hands. Darkdramon moves backwards as Aldamon's assault pushes the mega Digimon back. He frowns and wonders why Darkdramon was allowing Aldamon to push him back. Soon Darkdramon shouts out, "Dark Roar!" Aldamon yells out and covers his ears.

Before Darkdramon could do anything to Aldamon, he slashes at the mega Digimon. He then cries out, "Twin Lights!" The blades glow black and white. He swings Hydra quickly and from those slashes lines of energy hit Darkdramon. Within four minutes, the lights fade from his sword and Darkdramon says, "That actually hurt." He replies, "You shouldn't underestimate us."

He notices that both Beowolfmon and JagerLoewemon have disappeared and hope that they're not in too much trouble. Aldamon and him share a look and then they both charge Darkdramon together. Darkdramon growls as he blocks their attacks. They drive the mega level Digimon back and then Darkdramon moves quickly up and shouts, "Giga Lance!" He's hit by the attack as he had moved to intercept the attack on Aldamon.

He is sent flying into the ground. He clutches his chest and coughs. He glares at the mega level Digimon and gets up off the ground. "Dawn Riser!" He shouts and above him a blinking light flashes. A glowing white bird screeches and ascends upwards. The bird that he summoned is about four feet tall and has the wing spanned of five feet for each wing. The bird has a curved beak like a bird of prey. The bird also has light blue crest on its head. The tips of the wings have a pale red at the edge and the tail feathers have orange at the ends. The feet are pale yellow and the talons are black with a blue shine. All in all, the bird was beautiful to look at as it circles overhead.

He smirks and takes to the air. He grabs Hydra before hovering to Aldamon's left. He can see that Darkdramon looks uneasy about his summon beast. It was his first time of summoning the bird, but he remembers what he read about it on the sheets of info for Kurashimon. He just hopes that this battle doesn't take over thirty minutes, for then the bird will disappear.

The bird has two attacks and they are Cleansing Fire and Four Winds. He can combine his Twin Lights attack with the bird's Cleansing light to create an attack called Blazing Dawn. Blazing Dawn is powered by the element of Light and it's extremely effective against dark type Digimon and viruses. He can't combine with the Four Winds attack though.

Within a second, Aldamon and him charge the mega level Digimon, as does the white bird. He slashes at Darkdramon with Hydra as Aldamon with his arm guards. The bird was busy attacking the wings with its beak. Darkdramon roars out, "Dark Roar!" They are forced back and he grinds his teeth. He blocks an attack with his sword and then before he can tighten his grip, Darkdramon knocks Hydra out of his hand. The sword hits the ground tip first and then stays that way.

Darkdramon uses Giga Lance on the three of them. He's sent flying into the ground once more. He lands close to the bird and he coughs. "Lets see how you like being attacked by your own blade." Darkdramon says and flies towards the blade. "You shouldn't!" He coughs out, but Darkdramon pays little heed of him. He tries to stand up, but he needs time to recover and falls back down.

Darkdramon stands over the sword and gloats. "I think I'll keep it as a trophy of this battle. I'm sure that my master wouldn't mind." Then Darkdramon uses his left hand to pick it up and he just looks at the mega with a pitying look. "Fine workman ship." Darkdramon says as he wings Hydra through the air. He cringes as an image of a two-headed dragon appears behind the mega as the blades of Hydra flash. He can hear Aldamon glasp in surprise and Darkdramon looks puzzled at them. Then Darkdramon stiffens and turns around slowly. "What the…" Darkdramon tries to say, but one of the dragon's heads bites down onto the top of Darkdramon's left shoulder and the other on the right arm that holds Hydra. Darkdramon didn't even get a chance to scream as he bursts into data. The two-head dragon disappears and the sword drops onto the ground.

"What happened?" Takuya asks once he transforms back into his human self. He gets up and walks over to the sword. "I created a fail safe on Hydra. If any of my allies picks up the blade, they only get burned after a few minutes of holding it. But if my enemy holds it… Well you saw what happens." He says and then picks up the sword. He sheaths it and then transforms back into his normal self.

He turns and nods to the white bird. The bird clicks its beak and then in a flash of light, it disappears. He's exhausted and hungry and he knows that Takuya is as well. "How do you think Koichi and Kouji are doing?" He asks Takuya, hoping that the teenager would know where they were. Takuya just shrugs and replies, "They'll arrive back here in their own good time." He nods at that and says, "So, you want to start without them?" Takuya only grins as an answer.

(----Takuya----)

They wait for over an hour for the twins and he was getting worried. He's about to say something to Takato when JagerLoewemon bursts into the clearing. He gets up quickly and is by JagerLoewemon's side before he can think. He grabs Kouji and gently takes his friend off of JagerLoewemon's back.

Once he had Kouji lying on the ground, he asks Koichi, "What happened?" Koichi sighs and says, "We were attacked by a group of Togemogumon and Tankmon as you guys were busy fighting Darkdramon. There were four Tankmon and ten Togemogumon in total. It all began…"

(-/-/-)

He watches as Aldamon and Kurashimon get in close to Darkdramon. He feels so helpless, but standing here, watching as the pair battle it out with the mega. Then something shouts out, "Hyper Cannon!"

He dodges the attack, as does BeoWolfmon. He turns and watches as the Digimon takes aim once more. "Hyper Cannon!" The Digimon says and it's echoed by three other voices. He dodges the first two attacks and gets hit by the other two. He shouts, "Ebony Blast!" It hits the first tank like Digimon and it is deleted. He hears some new voices call out, "Hail Machinegun!" He jumps around, evading most of the ice blades.

He charges at one of the three tank Digimon and notices the X on the Digimon's forehead. He snarls and slashes at the Tankmon with his fore paws. He is hit by a navy blue Digimon with white spikes on it's back. He leaves off attacking the Tankmon and regroups with Beowolfmon. He takes a quick glance upwards and finds that Darkdramon and their friends aren't above them.

Then someone calls out, "Move it Tankmon! Darkdramon might have need of you!" "Don't tell us what to do, Togemogumon!" One of the Tankmon growls out angrily. He quickly aims at the Tankmon that he had been battling and uses his Ebony Blast to delete the Digimon. "I'll get them, can you handle the others?" He asks before charging forward. BeoWolfmon replies, "I can and I will." He charges towards where the remaining Tankmon would be heading.

It didn't take him long to finish off the two remaining Digimon and turns back to help out his brother. He has only been gone for about twenty minutes and he blinks as he watches Beowolfmon surrounded by a total of seven Digimon. Before he can leap over the circle of Digimon, they all shout out, "Hail Machinegun!" His brother was too tired to dodge their attacks and is therefore takes the full blunt of their attacks.

He slashes at the first two Digimon that he encounters and within a minute, they're deleted and he is then under attack by the last four Digimon. He gives as much as he takes and soon he moves by Kouji's side. "Climb on, bro. I'll take us to where the others are." He tells Kouji. Kouji smiles weakly and climbs onto his back. He turns and sighs as he notices that Kouji was only resting and slowly moves away from the ambush area.

(-/-/-)

Koichi finishes and he growls out, "This wouldn't have happened if we weren't being hassled through our journey." Takato answers, "That's what MetalPhantomon is doing really. Tiring us out before we reach his lair." Koichi sighs and nods in agreement with Takato. "I was thinking about that during my watch last night." Koichi says. "We could travel as Digimon." He suggests. Oddly enough, Takato and Koichi just nod at his suggestion.

"I think that's for the best. It also means that we'd be ready for attack without worrying that someone would attack as we transform." Koichi says. "I hadn't thought about it that way." He says thoughtfully. Takato replies, "You know, I always wonder why none of our enemies thought to do that before. I mean it's obvious that we're at our weakest then and all they have to do is knock us out." They both look at Takato and kind of pale as they realize that Takato means a super point.

"Then I'm glad that nobody ever thought of doing that." He says in earnest. Koichi nods in agreement. He studies Kouji and asks, "Sure we let him sleep or wake him up?" "Let him sleep." Both Koichi and Takato say at the same time. He raises an eyebrow at this, but lets is go. He lies down on the ground and takes a nap, leaving Koichi and Takato alone.

(----Rika----)

They have been busy staring at these three people. Two teenagers and a kid about her age, she knows that Ryo was studying them as much as she was. She truly has to wonder where Grani and Guilmon are, for they haven't seen either since that Grim Reaper wanna be attacked them.

"Um, who are you?" The kid her age asks. "And why are there Digimon here?" The teenage girl asks. "You know about Digimon?" She asks. All three nod their heads and the kid says, "I'm Tommy. The big guy here is JP and she's Zoe." She glances over at Renamon and wonders just what to do next.

(----Nobody's----)

He really, really wants to scream at the top of his lugs as he listens to the report of his slave. The Tekkamon has been spying on this group from the very beginning and doing a good job of it too. He dismisses the other ultimate with a wave and sits on his throne.

He hates that they have decided to move more quickly towards him and curses the fact that sword with two blades destroyed one of his generals, leaving him with only two. It was hard enough to control a mega and he was proud of the fact that he had enslaved three of them, but now that number is down by one and he just wants to get this over with.

He sighs and summons the two remaining generals. SaberLeomon and Murmuxmon appear within twenty minutes of him summoning them. He can't but feel a rush o pride as he looks at SaberLeomon, for that mega was truly a challenge for him, but he found that it's worth it. Few vaccine Digimon were as powerful as the Leomon Digivolution line and its rare for them to even make mega level.

He turns and studies Murmuxmon. He found this Digimon the easiest to enslave out of his generals. Murmuxmon's ability of transformation had been used against him, for Murmuxmon can transform into lower level Digimon and all he needed to do was trick the mega into transforming into a champion Digimon, then placed the X mark onto the Digimon.

He then begins, "The reason I called you here is because Darkdramon has been defeated by the four humans." He can't continue on for SaberLeomon roars out his displeasement. 'Truly a magnificent catch.' He thinks as he waits for the echo to settle down. He continues, "They are a good three days from here and I wish you to confront them right now. Two of their number are sleeping and the other two should be weak from lack of sleep." They nod and then bow before leaving his sight, he sits back and lets himself smile as he can picture how this will be the end of the medalling humans.

To be continued …
