Chapter 7

He wakes to someone yelling out, "Takato! Breakfast!" He opens his eyes and sits up. He yawns and stretches as he gets up off the ground. "Guilmon?" He says groggily. "Yip!" Guilmon says and he blinks as he looks into his partner's yellow eyes. He hears Koichi mutter, "Keep it down! Some of us are trying to sleep here." He turns to look at the teen and says, "You do realize that Digimon eat a lot, right? We also have three of them, or four if you count how much Guilmon is likely to eat." He says the last part with a ting of humour. Guilmon's eye sparkle with amusement and nods sagely in agreement with what he says.

Slowly Koichi sits up and blinks as the old boy studies them to see if they're lying. Soon Koichi just sighs, believing them and they walk towards the low campfire together. He smiles as Guilmon looks longingly at the food, but continues to walk by his side. He studies Rika and watches as Rika just rolls her eyes at something Ryo says. Tommy giggles, as does Takuya. Kouji mimics Rika and turns to look their way. Kouji has a small smile on his face and he turns his head to take a look at Koichi's face. The older twin seems to be walking with his eyes closed. He cracks a smile and holds back a chuckle.

He holds up for a minute, then places his right hand on Koichi's left shoulder. "You want me to guide you?" He asks. Koichi just nods and yawns. He keeps his hand on the teen and guides the Warrior of Darkness to a spot by JP. He lets go of his friend and sits down close to Renamon. Guilmon sits on his right and he watches as JP puts food onto wooden plates.

Soon the others join them around the campfire. JP hands out the plates and they dig in. He notices that there are eatable roots and mushrooms added to the smoked fish. The first to finish is Guilmon and his partner politely asks for more. JP takes Guilmon's plate and fills it up once more. Guilmon says, "Thank you." Then starts in on his second helping. He raises an eyebrow at that. 'It must be some story Guilmon's sitting on.' He muses as he eats. He could tell that Renamon, Rika, and Ryo had noticed and also look surprise at the fact that Guilmon had been polite. He hides a smile and tries not to look at any of them.

)-()-(

He looks over at where Grani is flying; on Grani's back are JP, Tommy, and Zoe. Cyberdramon with Ryo were flying a bit ahead of Grani. He feels JagerLoewemon jerk to the right sharply. He moves his weight so he can re-centre himself on JagerLoewemon's back. He feels Guilmon's grip tighten on his shirt and then lighten up.

They were have been traveling over two hours now and he hopes that KendoGarurumon hasn't run into any trouble. They had split up so they don't make such a tempting target. Rika is riding Kyubimon as they travel with KendoGarurumon and Takuya. That leaves just JagerLoewemon, Guilmon, and him traveling as a unit, not that he minds though.

He holds on tightly as JagerLoewemon comes across a fallen tree. He feels Guilmon's hold on his shirt tighten and soon the Warrior of Darkness leaps over the tree and continues to race through the trees. Guilmon says, "There were Digimon back there." He sighs and replies, "Nice to know."

(----Takuya----)

They are almost there and they have also met up with JagerLoewemon and his passengers. He had smiled a bit at the look on Rika's face when they hooked up with them. Rika seems to have a soft spot for Takato and he found that sweet, all things considered. He bets that Takato was kind of clueless to Rika's crush though. Not that he's making plans of telling the young goggle wearing kid, he believes that he shouldn't interfere with their relationship. Besides, he thinks they're too young to be dating yet, but he wishes Rika luck with Takato though for Takato will defiantly be someone girls will was as a boyfriend in years to come.

He snaps himself out of his thoughts and notices that there is a army of Digimon standing before them and a large entrance to MetalPhantomon's lair. He feels KendoGarurumon slow to a stop and then he climbs off of KendoGarurumon's back. "Thanks for the lift, KendoGarurumon." He says to his friend. KendoGarurumon glows and soon Beowolfmon is standing before them.

He turns to look over at Rika and Takato. Takato looks thoughtful as he stares at the army. He asks, "Anything?" Takato replies, "I think Sakuyamon can handle this. I think the dangerous one is MetalPhantomon." He nods in agreement with what Takato said. JagerLoewemon says, "I'll stay with them. I wouldn't be much help anyway." "Don't think like that! You're an important part of the team." He says sharply to JagerLoewemon. "But I don't even have a Fusion form." The black armour lion Digimon states.

"I think I can help with that, if you let me." Takato says before he can counter that. "How?" They all say at the same time, that includes Renamon and Guilmon. "I mean shouldn't he already be able to, if Light can it would help the balance if Darkness can too." Takato says defensively. They all kind of stare at the preteen, then JagerLoewemon says, "But I don't that that kind of Digvice. Seraphimon only gave that power to Takuya and Beowolfmon." Takato sighs and says, "I think Seraphimon only opened the way but it was up to them to combine the two spirits. I think I can do the same for you, but it's up to you to make it happen."

Rika says, "While this is all nice and good, I think Renamon and I will deal with the Digimon creeping towards us. Ready Renamon?" Renamon says, "Always Rika." They watch as Rika and Renamon race forward and soon they watch as Sakuyamon appears and attacks the Digimon before them. He sighs and looks over to where Koichi is standing.

(----Takato----)

Koichi nods and says, "Let's do it." He takes out his D-Tector as does Koichi. He holds it up to Koichi's and his glows black then a beam of black light enters into Koichi's D-Tector. Koichi's face freezes and then within a heartbeat, Koichi recovers. "Are you ok?" Beowolfmon asks. "I'm fine." Koichi says and then a complex ringlet of data appears on Koichi's hand. "Spirit Evolution!" Koichi shouts out as he scans the ringlet.

They move back to give Koichi room and soon they find a tall black armoured Digimon standing before them. "Reichmon!" The Fusion Warrior of Darkness shouts out to the world. He stares at the gold plate wings that have sprouted. A spear rests easily in Reichmon's right hand and he notes the guns that seem to becoming out of the shoulder plates. Reichmon's has Loewemon's head and JagerLoewemon's armour. He smiles and turns to look over at Guilmon and finds that his partner also approves of the changes that occurred before them.

(----Takuya----)

He grins as he flies over the battlefield. He watches as Beowolfmon, Guilmon, and Takato move over the terrain below. He turns his head slightly and looks over at Reichmon. "I can't believe I'm flying!" The other says as he does barrel rolls as he flies. He just sighs and hopes that his friend gets out of this phase soon, for they're about a minute to the cavern entrance.

He lands just a few feet inside of the cave. He turns and watches as Reichmon flies pass him and then lands. "Ok, now you're just showing off." He says. Reichmon just shrugs and says, "It feels different then when I was Velgemon." He nods at that, he almost forgot about that corrupted beast spirit. He turns to look out of the cave.

The others appear after a good ten minutes. Guilmon sniffs around as the red Digimon walks pass him. He watches as Takato watches Guilmon, he asks, "Are we safe?" Guilmon replies, "Don't think anyone is here." He nods and they soon walk deeper into the cave. He summons a ball of fire to light their way into the caves. It hovers above his head as they walk through the tunnels.

He notices how Takato keeps his hand over his D-Ark as they go. Not that he blames the preteen, he finds this place creepy and he's currently a Digimon. Then all of a sudden Takato's D-Ark beeps and Takato takes holds the Digivice. Takato reads the info that appears.

DinoBeemon

Ultimate level Digimon

Attribute: Virus

Mutant type. Attacks are Masquerage and Irritant Buzz.

Reichmon and Beowolfmon charge forward to do battle with the four guards. "Go on! We'll deal with them!" Beowolfmon tells them as he rams one of the DinoBeemon into the wall. He nods sharply and then follows Guilmon through the door.

He blinks as he finds Guilmon stiff and growling. Takato has a far away look in his eyes. He frowns and scans the room. Guilmon's head lowers a bit and the growling gets deeper. He hears something scrap the floor and someone shouts out, "Grave Scream!"

He dodges the attack and finds looks at the cloaked figure that's hovering on a platform. "You must be MetalPhantomon." He says. "That I am. You might have made it this far, but I'll be damned if I go down without a fight." The hovering Digimon says. Then MetalPhantomon charges him; he blocks the energy scythe, avoiding the blades. He sees Guilmon and Takato out of the corner of his eye and frowns as he notices that either seems to be aware of them fighting. He doesn't have time to think anymore about it as MetalPhantomon tries to move his scythe down in hopes of cutting off his fingers. He just hopes that they'll snap out of it before something really bad happens.

(----Takato----)

'Are you sure, boy?' He sends through their link. 'Positive, Takato! Someone other then MetalPhantomon is here. I can smell them!' Guilmon replies. He strengthens the link between them and sends. 'Then bring them into the light!' Guilmon summons up all the energy that he sent and uses Pyro Spere at the faint image of the other Digimon.

The image shimmers then breaks into bits and pieces, revealing Deamon in his ultimate form. "I wonder how someone like MetalPhantomon could be so powerful. The thing is, Guilmon smelled you when your puppet attack him and the others in that rift." He states to Deamon. He can hear Aldamon and MetalPhantomon fight; they couldn't see what's happening between Deamon, Guilmon, and himself.

Then the robed Digimon chuckles at that. "My you and your partner are observant. But will it help you in our battle?' Deamon asks then the scenery changes and so does Deamon. There before them is Deamon in all of his glory, in his truest form. He stares at Deamon and then takes a firm grasp of his D-Ark. "Bio Merge activate!" He shouts. "Guilmon Bio Merge to…" Guilmon says and then together they say, "Gallantmon!"

"Another knight to add to my collection." Deamon rumbles out. "We will succeed, Deamon. You're not just facing one of us, but both!" They say as they take a stance with the shield being held before them and the lance pointed up into the sky. 'I hope we're up for this, boy.' He says. 'I'm not afraid when we're Gallantmon, Takato. We have the power to make miracles happen when we are together.' His partner replies with great confidents. He smiles and nods as he says. 'Then let's begin!' They charge forward and shout out, "Lightning Joust!"

Deamon swaps them as they come flying towards the guy's chest. Their reaction was quick and they redirected the attack at the left hand that was coming their way. It hits and they land on the ground by Deamon's right foot. They evade a kick and leap straight up. "Lightning Joust!" They shout as they sail through the air. They're sent flying by Deamon's right hand and they land roughly on the ground.

They get up, though the landing harms them. They stand and brace themselves for the recoil of their next attack. "Shield of the Just!" The attack hits Deamon's left let and it forces Deamon to kneel, for the injury was great. "That hurt you insect!" Deamon roars out. They say dryly, "It's supposed to." Deamon growls and then roars out, "Flame Inferno!" They scream as the fire engulfs them. They land on the ground face first. Their armour is in ruins and they barely have enough strength to stay merged together. They can hear Deamon gloat above them.

(----Takuya----)

He punches MetalPhantomon's chest, sending the grim reaper wanna be into the far wall. He summons up his energy and shouts out, "Blaze Corona!" The attack hits the enemy Digimon before the metal Digimon could recover. He then charges before the smoke clears, he doesn't want a prolonged battle that might harm either Guilmon or Takato.

He rams MetalPhantomon hard into the wall once more. He pulls back and waits for something to happen. Then he listens as MetalPhantomon chuckles and he watches in horror as MetalPhantomon glows and parts of the Digimon fly back to the ultimate Digimon. Soon most of the damage is repaired and MetalPhantomon explains, "I have what is called a X-Antibody. This… program speeds up healing as well as makes it harder for someone to delete me. You don't stand a chance!" Then MetalPhantomon charges him with the energy scythe swinging.

He evades the attack as best as he can and begins to rethink his plans for this battle. He blocks as best as he can as he lands a few hits of his own on the virus. A thought crosses his mind and he lets go of the scythe and shouts out, "Atomic Inferno!" The attack hits and engulfs MetalPhantomon for the ultimate Digimon was fighting him hand to hand. He quickly follows up with Solar Wind Destroyer.

This is too much punishment for the metal Digimon and the Digimon screams. He summons his D-Tector and points the Digivice at the enemy. His Digivice glows and soon the data of MetalPhantomon is absorbed by his D-Tector. He collapses onto the ground as he transforms back into his normal self. It was then that he noticed that something was wrong with Takato and Guilmon. He then realises that he can't hear Guilmon growl anymore. He tries to summon energy to move towards them, but using those two powerful attacks in such a short time zapped his energy.

He sits on his butt and tries to stay awake. He feels sore all over and he also has the beginnings of a headache coming on. He soon hears Kouji and Koichi enter into the room. "Did you get him?" Kouji asks. He turns and says weakly, "I got him. But I don't know what's wrong with Takato and Guilmon though."

(----Rika----)

They stare at the fallen Digimon and then sigh. Soon they separate into their normal forms. She sighs and begins to pick her way towards the entrance to the lair with Renamon following close behind. She decides that MetalPhantomon must have been destroyed or the army wouldn't have been knocked out without any effort on their part when they were Sakuyamon.

They notice the rubble as they walk through the tunnel. Then two DinoBeemon knocked out cold. Soon they enter into the room and find that the teens were staring at Takato and Guilmon, only they weren't moving or making any noise. She moves towards them and then reaches out to touch them, her hand passes through Takato's image.

"Where are they?" She asks in a neutral voice. She turns and stares at them, waiting for an answer. Takuya gulps at her expression and says, "I was busy fighting MetalPhantomon. I thought those images were real!" She just sighs and just shakes her head. She bites her lip and just hopes that Takato's alright.

(----Takato----)

They can hear Deamon take a step toward them and he hears Kurashimon's voice shout out, "Take what you need!" Suddenly he feels a flow of energy engulf them, they then scream out in pain as white and black energies course through their body.

"Gallantmon mode change to… Gallantmon: Ascend Mode!" They shout out. They were standing up right and Deamon shouts out in alarm, "What! This can't be! How can you!" "This is very real, Deamon. It's time to end this!" They say together, they take to the air and charge their enemy.

They stand the same height as Gallantmon, they don't have the lance anymore for it's replaced with a larger version of Hydra. Their armour is now gold with ruby red for the trims of the armour. The helmet now lacks the Guilmon mafia, they're hair is the same colour, but their eyes are now blue. They now sport the wings that Kurashimon has, but they have a different colour scheme with the feathers being gold with the leather parts being ruby red. They sport the symbols of Shifting Chaos and the Hazard symbol. The Hazard symbol is located on the shoulder plates in black and the Shifting Chaos symbol is on the right breastplate in white. Their shield is mostly golden with a large blue gem resting in the centre of the shield with a circle of red circling the gem, then with runes written in white and black circle the spaces between the red circle and the outer rim of the shield.
