Long time no post? Well here is the 9th installment in this fic.

File 09: The First of the Trinity Strikes, Fuujinmon of the Wind

"Alette!" Seifer shouted as he and Leormon ran up to their friend.

"Monsieur Seifer, qu'est que c'est?" Alette asked when she turned to se Seifer and Leormon running up to her.

"What?"

"Sorry, I forgot that you don't speak fluent French." Alette said as she rubbed her head. "What I said is what is it."

"Oh, it's nothing, just well I am glad to see that you are alright." Seifer said before his D-Cell started to transmit a message from Stenr.

"Seifer, Alette, Hotaru, can any of you hear me?"

"Stenr, where exactly are you?" Seifer replied through his D-Cell.

"Near a large temple, I am picking up a faint signal inside it."

"Near a temple?" Seifer said as Alette activated her D-Cell's map.

"There!" Alette said as she pointed to a spot on the map, it was only a few miles from where they were, so she figured it wouldn't take them long to get there.

Hotaru and DemiDevimon had pressed the center of the triangle right as it turned purple. When this happened the shield that had cloaked the temple was dropped. Inside the temple a large circle had appeared on the floor, with three smaller circles inside it, which were arranged to form a triangle.

"I hope the others get here soon, because I didn't like the feel of that." Hotaru said referring to the shaking of the temple ruins when they had pressed the circular button on the wall.

"I hope so as well, because it would suck if we were attacked in a place like this."

"Agreed."

After about an our or so Alette and Seifer arrived at the temple, where Stenr was waiting for them. It didn't take them long to come to the conclusion that the signal they were picking up was a D-Cell.

"Let's head in." Stenr said as him and Commandramon slowly approached the entrance to the old temple. When they all stepped inside they were quickly greeted by Hotaru who had been waiting since he first arrived there for them to show up.

"Took you guys a while."

"Well if Wizardmon and Witchmon hadn't scattered us then maybe we wouldn't of taken so long." Seifer said laughing slightly.

"It wasn't like I planned that!" DemiDevimon shouted angrily.

"He was joking." Hotaru said to his uptight digimon partner.

"So what is this place?" Stenr asked looking around.

"As far as we can tell it is, or was a protected temple. It was protected till you guys defeated the digimon that were its guardians. Apparently they were entrusted with some data to protect this place. However someone else defeated the final one I think, maybe that other girl."

"So what now?"

"This circle appeared after some symbols lit up." Hotaru said pointing at the large circle on the floor.

"So maybe it is some sort of ancient elevator." Seifer suggested as she looked around seeing if he could find any form of a lever or switch to activate it.

"There is only one way to find out for sure, lets all stand on it and see what happens." Alette said as she stepped onto one of the three smaller circles with Kudamon, Stenr and Commandramon stepped on another, and Seifer and Leormon stepped on the third. Finally Hotaru and DemiDevimon stepped onto the center of the circle and it all started to glow.

"What's happening?" Hotaru asked as a pillar of light surrounded them. When the light died down they were in another room all together.

"Looks like we were taken somewhere else."

"Stenr, could you say anything more obvious?" Hotaru asked as he looked around.

"Tell Raijinmon that I'll be back later. I finally found where the other child was hiding, I'll take care of all of them at once!" Fuujinmon said as he stepped out of the shadows. He was a tall green humanoid cyborg digimon with two large silver arms.

"Are you sure Fuujinmon?"

"Of course they only have Adults after all!"

Fuujinmon stepped into the temple ruins and looked around, he needed to find and destroy the chosen children. He looked around and easily found the circle on the floor. When he stepped on the transporter it started to glow and was teleported to the same area as the kids.

"Critical Arm!" Fuujinmon shouted as he slammed one of his arms into a pillar inside the new chamber.

"What was that?"

"Hotaru, what do you think it was, a digimon!" Stenr said slightly rudely.

"Well that doesn't tell me what digimon!"

"Shut up both of you!" Seifer said as he continued to try and read from one of the walls in the chamber.

"What is so fascination about that chicken scratch?" Stenr asked.

"I believe it to be some informative text. I think this passage is talking about a supplemental device to the our digivices. It mentions some kind of key to evolution. Also this here mentions arms of light, though I don't know what it is referring to in either passage." Seifer said as he stared at the wall.

"How can you read that?" Hotaru asked as he kept scanning the area for the enemy.

"I actually pay attention to the font that appears on the D-Cell projections. The writing is a mix of English, Japanese, and some other text, but the rest of the walls are only in the third text which simply means this wall is important."

"How do you know that?" Hotaru asked again.

"Simple, if you are using a computer, to make a reminder of important parts in a script you either use italics, bold, or a different font color. When writing stuff, you tend to highlight important information for making note cards. In other words, since this wall is different it is obviously more important than the others."

"Seifer, you keep reading that, we have company ok." Stenr said after Commandramon pointed out he tall green digimon staring at them.

"Who are you?" Leormon asked.

"I am the one who shall crush you, Fuujinmon of the Wind!"

"Fuujin.. mon?"

"Whats wrong Hotaru?" Stenr asked.

"Fuujin means wind god, so I have a feeling he isn't someone to joke about."

"Fuujinmon, Ultimate level, Cyborg digimon. His attacks include Malt Cyclone and Critical Arm." Alette's D-Cell said as it displayed a small image of Fuujinmon.

"Critical Arm!" Fuujinmon shouted as he swung his arm at the chosen children.

"Watch out!" Commandramon shouted as he jumped in front of his partner taking the blunt force of the attack.

"Guys, looks like we need something slightly stronger than child level digimon." Stenr said as he raised his wrist.

"Right!" the others said in unison as the did the same.

"Leormon evolve to... GranLiamon!"

"Kudamon evolve to... Reppamon!"

"DemiDevimon evolve to... Wizardmon!"

"Commandramon evolve to... Snipedramon!"

The four adult level digimon stared off against Fuujinmon. All ready to attack, and all trying to protect their human partners. "What do you think they can do, they are weak little adult level digimon, and I am a god, I am a member of the Trinity!"

"Steel Strike!" GranLiamon shouted as he jumped towards Fuujinmon trying to hit him with his claws.

"Snipe Shot!" Snipedramon shouted as he fired a shot from his gun.

"Thunder Blaster!" Wizardmon shouted as he fired a blast of lightning from his wand at Fuujinmon.

"Whirling Blade!" Reppamon shouted as she rolled forward towards Fuujinmon.

"Malt Cyclone!" Fuujinmon shouted as he started to spin, the blade like flames from his arms created a whirlwind around him and all the adult level digimon were flung back. Reppamon, and GranLiamon both slammed into a wall, where as the other two were simply flung into their partners.

"I almost have it." Seifer said as he ran his D-Cell over the wall.

"What are you doing?" Hotaru asked as he slowly got up.

"Finding our way out of this mess." Seifer said, "Just hold him off a little longer."

"Right, everyone, give it another shot."

"Right!" all of the digimon said in unison as they launched the same attacks again. And again Fuujinmon retaliated with his Malt Cyclone.

"Everyone regroup!" Seifer said as he ran his hand over the wall.

"What are you doing? We're sitting ducks right now." Hotaru shouted as they surrounded Seifer.

"Malt Cyclone!" Fuujinmon shouted as he spun throughout the room destroying pillars in an attempt to have the chamber cave in.

"Snipedramon, ready a grenade or two to destroy this wall." Seifer said as he looked over the wall once more.

"We are going to die,aren't we?" Alette asked in a worried tone as she noticed pieces of the ceiling start to fall.

"No because we are heading home!" Seifer said as he started to press a series of symbols on the wall.

"What do you mean, there is no way we can get out of here, we cant get to the circle." Hotaru said in a scared tone.

"How are those grenades Snipedramon?"

"They are ready to go, i've got them set for about 3 seconds."

"Good."

"What do you mean?"

"I just have a couple more to hit, and then we will be out of here." Seifer said as he pressed a couple more symbols and then fell through the wall. "Hurry!" He shouted as the others ran through behind him, and as soon as they were through he hit a single brick, which sealed the passage, nanoseconds before the grenades went off.

"Where are we?"

"This is an emergency escape route."

"How did you know this was here?"

"The D-Cell highlighted certain symbols when I scanned, and recorded the entire wall. It was just a matter of pressing them in the right order."

"How the hell did you figure the order out?"

"When put in order is said, behind here lies an emergency gate." Seifer said before pointing to a large stone archway.

"So what are we waiting for, lets head home." Alette said happily as she ran up to the archway. "Gate Open!" she shouted before running through the structure, and vanishing.

"So they managed to escape?" Raijinmon asked angrily.

"I am not sure, they could of been crushed, but I don't know. One of them was messing with a wall before the cave in, but the entire place is now just rubble so I don't really know."

"I am sure that he will forgive you for now, but I don't think he will next time." Suijinmon said in a slightly scared tone.

"So I'll try to process this data, and see what it means, then we can probably return to the digital world after school on friday, ok?"

"Sure, sounds great." Hotaru said as he headed up to his room.

"Well lets all head home, we don't want our parents to get mad at us." Stenr said as he opened the front door for Alette.

Next Time

Seifer thinks he translated the wall, but it doesn't seem to call for a return trip to the digital world. Instead the destination is Japan, where the team comes face to face with the Trinity's Chosen Child.
