Here is chapter 4.

In this chapter, JP and Erza get their spirits.

I do NOT own Digimon, just my Oc's and story idea.

As I said in my profile I'm only working on a few select stories at a time, this story being one of them. Now in honor of this story being given new life I've posted on my Wattpad account, saberbladeprime, pictures to help visualize what the warriors of my story look like. For this story, JP's spirit is found in part 2 while Erza's is in part 3.

It's called Frontier: The Beginning pics (Fanfiction story), so be on the lookout!

Off we go!


Chapter 4: Warriors of Thunder and Hazard


Blake here, the last few days were hectic as we learned more about the digital world and Teresa and Zoe ended up getting their spirits, Yukimon and Kazemon the warriors of ice and wind.

Who will be next? Let's see and find out!

WITH THE GANG

"Man, my feet are sore," Daisuke said as they walked on the train tracks, they had been walking for two days after meeting back up at Breezy village.

"Gha!" Erza yells as the harsh wind flew sand past them, she was starting to get sand in places she didn't like.

"Hey cool! My ears are full of sand," Neemon giggled.

"Yes! And your head is full of rocks," Bokomon said back making Blake chuckle.

"I'm getting sand in places I'd rather not," Daisuke said she was half tempted to digivolve right now.

"I haven't felt a wind this strong since...well, ever!" Teresa said as she held onto her hat.

A noise made the gang stop, they look up ahead and the noise became clear as the sound of a train was heard. The group yell and dived off the tracks as a Trailmon came barreling past them, JP sighed holding his knees while Erza huffs.

"That was a close one," Zoe said making Takuya nod.

"Why do things in the digital world always come out of nowhere?" Takuya asked as the sandstorm started to die down.

"What do you mean nowhere? We're walking along train tracks," Bokomon asked as they got walking again.

"So?" Takuya asked looking at Bokomon while Erza rolled her eyes.

"So where there are train tracks there's a train, goggle head, kinda obvious," Erza said in a teasing tone making Takuya look at her with a deadpan look.

"Goggle head?" JP asked looking between Erza and Takuya.

"My nickname for him, ever since I met Takuya he's always had his goggles with him, so goggle head," Erza said pointing at her own head.

"That's cute, do you have a nickname for Erza, Takuya?" Zoe asked with a giggle.

"Yeah, Miss. Annoying," Takuya said shooting Erza a smirk and making her shoot him an unimpressed look.

"So, 'Goggle head' where did ya get the goggles from?" JP asked with a smirk only to yelp when Erza lightly hit his shoulder.

"Hey, only I get to call Takuya that! It's my nickname, get your own," Erza said making chuckles ring out as JP gave the spitfire girl a sheepish smile, even without a spirit Erza was a fierce girl on her own.

"Look! There's something up ahead," Daisuke said pointing ahead of them, making everyone look forward to see the train tracks leading into a big factory-looking area.

"Oh, welcome to wind factory incorporated!" Bokomon said as they arrived at the doors.

"Wind factory incorporated?" Zoe asked holding her hip, she felt slightly...unimpressed? Was it because she held the spirit of wind and that was her element?

"A division of Mother Nature enterprises," Neemon said making Blake look at him, there were more of these strange factories?!

Looking through the open gates Erza saw some digimon inside.

"Hey guys, look! Some digimon," Erza said making the others look over.

"Kokuwamon, machine digimon, when they feel threatened they let out a million volts electrical charge, their special attack is Power Surge," Bokomon said as the line of Kokuwamon marching along suddenly tripped and fell down on each other giving out sparks.

"Ouch, that's gotta hurt," Daisuke said with a wince.

"Well if there are that many digimon around there must be some food here somewhere," Bokomon said as Takuya smirks running forward.

"All right! Let's have us a feast," Takuya said making the others run after him.

"Wait up! What if we can't eat it? I don't want a stomach ache," JP said some of the food here in this world had made him double-check if they were edible, if not for Bokomon and Neemon he would be a very sick lad by now or dead.

"Takuya! You can't just barge in!" Daisuke yelled as they passed the gates making alarms go off.

"Whoa!" Teresa said as they came to a stop when someone lowers down in front of them.

Blake winced at the Digimon's voice as it yelled out warnings, turns out this was a Minomon a larva-type digimon, he raised an eyebrow when Zoe steps forward looking like she had a plan.

"Excuse me, we're just here for a tour of the factory," Zoe said as Daisuke pops up beside her with a nod.

"Yeah!" She said as JP comes over.

"Let's make the first stop at the exit door, okay?" JP asked only to faceplant a second later when the three Minomon turned to them with smiles.

"Then come on down!" They yelled making Teresa giggle at JP's antics.

As Blake helps JP up Erza saw something out of the corner of her eye, looking over she saw some goblin-looking digimon swinging clubs around making the fallen Kokuwamon get up and run off looking terrified. She got a bad feeling in her gut, she clenched her fist before following her friends inside to look around the factory.

5 MINUTES LATER

Erza frowns as she stood at an observation window, down below on an assembly line Kokuwamon were busy working while the goblin digimon watched on. She glanced over at Bokomon as he said what digimon they were.

"Goblimon, this ogre digimon loves being bad his special attack is Goblin Strike," Bokomon said making Erza hum.

'Something doesn't feel right' Erza thought as Minomon lowers down next to Zoe.

"Are you enjoying your tour?" Minomon asked making Zoe nod with a smile.

"Yeah," She said making everyone turn their attention away from the window and to Minomon.

"Do you have any questions?" Minomon asked Blake was about to ask one but Neemon piped up instead.

"Can we slide on this floor in our socks?" Neemon asked.

'Why?' Daisuke thought glancing at Neemon in wonder.

"If you feel you must go ahead!" Minomon said moving to the side while JP held himself as he almost dance on the spot.

Teresa took notice of JP's new sporadic dancing, she turns to him asking "What's wrong JP?"

"I really need to find a bathroom! Like right now!" JP said running on ahead.

"It's on the left!" Minomon yelled after him.

The group asked Minomon a few more questions before calling for JP to continue on with the tour, they saw a few more production lines and rooms that didn't make much sense to the gang but they stayed as polite as possible.

Then they arrived at the heart of the factory, a huge pillar-like device sat in the middle with cranes and conveyor belts coming from it.

"This is the backbone of Wind Factory, it's where all the latest ultra high stuff for machines are made," Minomon explains as Teresa leans on the railing to get a better look.

"It certainly is big," Erza said looking at the huge thing, she saw something on the pillar that caught her attention. It had a dangerous electricity symbol on it as one would expect on dangerous machines but it also had a hazard symbol on it below the electrical symbol.

A quiet gasp left Erza's lips as she felt her chest tingle, reaching up she held her marking, a quick glance down let her see that it had a faint glow to it.

'Does that mean...my spirit is nearby?' Erza thought looking around.

"You call that an ultra-high-super-tech machine? Please," Bokomon said not impressed as he saw the machine making fans below.

"A fan?" Teresa asked tilting her head as Daisuke looks on confused, how is a fan high-tech?

"An ugly one at that, I mean grey is so out," Zoe said while Takuya crossed his arms as Blake looks bored.

"What's so high-tech about a stupid fan?" JP asked looking at Erza who shrugs before she noticed something on JP's inner right wrist.

His own warrior mark was glowing faintly, so that must mean his spirit is nearby as well! Erza glanced over at Blake. Maybe she could ask him to scan the area for trances of a spirit? He did detect Zoe's spirit in the area but didn't know it was in the tree right below them.

"Hey! It beats a folded piece of paper!" Minomon said swinging behind the group making them turn around.

Minomon then drops down in front of them making Daisuke back up a bit as the larva digimon spoke.

"Now before we get you some lovely parting gifts, are there any questions?" Minomon asked.

"Yeah! Where is the cafeteria?" Everyone minus Daisuke, Blake, and Erza asked the trio shared a look amused by their friends.

FACTORY CAFETERIA

Erza held her mouth as she struggled to contain her laughter, the looks on Takuya and JP's faces were funny as anything! Granted she was disappointed about the food situation herself but the guy's reaction to the food was grand. The food in question? Batteries.

"What did you guys expect? This factory has workers that are machine digimon, of course, they won't eat normal food," Daisuke said gesturing to the Kokuwamon around them.

"Still we can't eat this," Zoe said putting down the battery she was looking at.

Blake however saw an opportunity, he took two of each battery and put them in his backpack. You never know when you would need some extra juice!

Daisuke shook her head as the Minomon asked if they wanted dessert only for the guys to round on Minomon, poor thing when flying.

OUTSIDE

"I'm worried we might have offended the Minomon," Zoe said as they made their way towards the entrance of the Wind Factory.

"More than lunch offended us?" Takuya asked.

JP, Bokomon, and Neemon came to a stop looking tired and hungry.

"Can we focus on finding something to eat now?" JP asked not that Erza could blame him, this was the longest they had gone without food.

"Stupid battery," Takuya said moving and kicking a used battery on the ground.

Erza watched as the battery went flying over to another part of the train track, it hit off the track catching some Goblimon's attention making them go over to the noise. Takuya rubbed the back of his head with a sheepish smirk and chuckle.

"Hey, what's that?" Teresa asked pointing over at what appeared to be a group of buildings.

"Is a building with a fence around it too obvious an answer?" Bokomon asked in response making Daisuke shoot him a deadpan look.

"More like a sarcastic one," She mutters.

"Well, let's check it out," Takuya said making everyone nod and sneak over.

After making sure the coast was clear the group ran inside the settlement to see basic homes and many Kokuwamon around, Daisuke smiled as she saw a mini-version which could only be a child version of the machine digimon, she looks forward as an elderly Kokuwamon steps forward.

"So this," Takuya said looking a bit stunned by what he was seeing.

"Is where the Kokuwamon live?" Zoe finished as she looks around.

"This feels...wrong," Blake said making Teresa nod while JP frowns as Erza shook her head.

"At least they're out in the sunshine," Neemon said in his own strange positive way.

"Yes, where they can sweat and rust," Bokomon said in counter to what Neemon said.

A few children Kokuwamon approached the group, Daisuke smiled at how curious they seemed. One reached over and poked Erza's arm before giggling, she just gave a playful huff but allowed it. These guys have probably never met a human before, so of course, they'd want to poke them.

"Your kinda funny looking," One said while the others giggle.

"I bet we do," Blake said as they introduced themselves and the machine digimon invited them into the biggest building in the settlement.

The gang settles down with a few taking the offered chairs while others stood up, Erza was leaning on a wall near JP and Teresa while Zoe, Takuya, and Daisuke were sitting down.

"Where once there was there, there is now here, which is neither here nor there," The elder Kokuwamon said which made no sense to the humans.

"If I said that made any sense I'd be lying," Zoe said honestly.

"Yeah, I'm lost too," Teresa said in agreement as a young Kokuwamon came forward clearing his throat.

"Sorry, the elders' charge is a little low these days, perhaps our story will make more sense if begin at the beginning," The younger Kokuwamon said making Daisuke nod.

"That's always a good place to start," She said leaning on her knees.

"We Kokuwamon live peacefully in the forest for generations, we played among the trees and played games of electric tag, until one day without warning the Goblimon attacked! The wind at the wind factory had gotten weaker and the energy generator had gotten low, so their leader had us rounded up. They took us all from our beautiful wooded home and put us to work in the factory," Kokuwamon said gaining shocked and uneasy looks from the humans.

"That's awful," Zoe said looking a bit upset, to be ripped from your home like that.

"Here not there," Elder said he looked so tired and Daisuke could see the longing in the old Mon's eyes to see his home once more.

"That blows, and to think everything seemed so normal when we toured the factory earlier on," Teresa said shaking her head.

"I had a feeling something wasn't right, my gut told me," JP said looking at Takuya who sighs.

"You and your gut, so how come they needed your labor in such a modern factory?" Takuya asked looking at the machine digimon.

"Our labor is more of a bonus for the Goblimon, it is not the main reason they keep us. You must understand, that they would never let you outsiders see what really goes on there, but when we're frightened we emit electrical currents up to a million volts," Kokuwamon said shuddering a bit.

JP blinks when he felt a tug at his jumpsuit, he looks down to see a little Kokuwamon looking up at him. This little guy had taken a fancy to JP, the older boy didn't know why but it was cute. JP leans down and picks the guy up making him wiggle his little wings around.

'He's so cheerful despite living in a place like this' JP thought looking back over as the story continues.

"So they scare us, constantly. Sometimes they even pour water on us to short us out, then they use the electricity we give off at the factory. Or even worse, they threaten to hang us upside down so the charge rushes to our heads, and if all that doesn't work they show us pictures of people's feet! I've gotten so jumpy these days I feel like there's a kangaroo in my pants!" Kokuwamon said moving around looking scared at just the thought of the stuff the Goblimon put them through.

Erza growls moving and punching the wall in anger.

"Damn them! That's straight-up torture," Erza said.

"So that was the noise I heard when I came out of the bathroom?" JP said before looking down at the child he held, they didn't do it to the children, did they?

He looks the child Kokuwamon over at first he didn't see any signs of damage but then he notices scuff marks on the kid's arms, small dents, and scratches from being nicked by something.

'This isn't right' JP thought frowning.

"Scary place," Elder Kokuwamon said sagging in his seat.

"We're in the factory every day, this really isn't very much fun for us at all," Kokuwamon said making a second join in.

"It's low pay and hard work," The second one said making another pipe in.

"And no vacation," He said making the elder nod.

"Can't go there," He said as Teresa hums before nodding.

"Why not leave?" Teresa asked making the Kokuwamon share looks.

"If they try to leave then won't the Goblimon just track them down and smash them into little pieces?" Takuya asked crossing his arms.

"Not if they band together and fight back," Daisuke said making everyone look at her.

"We're not really fighters and as for running away, we can't because the Goblimon security is just too tight," Kokuwamon said.

"There your only two options," Takuya said as JP set the child Kokuwamon down and nudged him over to his parents? It was hard to tell.

"I suppose if we had to choose, we would prefer the running option," Kokuwamon said looking down.

Erza frowns before an idea struck her if her and JP's spirit were inside the factory and these Goblimon were causing trouble it only made sense they somehow had the spirits and were using them for bad deeds so it only made sense to stop them and take the spirits away from their greedy claws.

"If you run now you'll never stop running, but if you fight them you could be free forever. You won't have to do it alone, we'll help ya beat them," Erza said moving away from the wall with a smirk making everyone turn to her.

"Erza?" Takuya asked wondering what got her riled up.

"We can help the Kokuwamon escape by causing a distraction, Zoe, Takuya, Blake, Daisuke, and Teresa can spirit evolve to cause a huge distraction and break out any Kowuamon inside the factory, Blake you can have fun hacking the place while JP, Myself, Bokomon, and Neemon help the Kokuwamon escape to safer grounds," Erza explains with a grin.

"Is this because we can't spirit evolve?" JP asked with a sigh only to blink as Erza shook her head.

"No, in fact, during the tour I noticed our warrior marks glowing so these Goblimon are not only enslaving Kokuwamon but warrior spirits as well somewhere in that factory," Erza said as she looks at Blake.

"Blake, can you do a scan for any spirits nearby? Like you did with Zoe's?" Erza asked making Blake blink before nodding.

"I can try," He said holding up his hands and making a blue screen appear before him.

He types a few things in making symbols and numbers appear, the screen then changes to show JP's symbol and Erza's symbol. The two symbols glow and blink, Blake nods confirming what Erza had said.

"The spirits are nearby but the exact location is unknown," Blake said closing the screen.

"Once the Kokuwamon are safe and sound JP and I can charge inside to look for the spirits," Erza said making JP nod.

"I'm in then," Daisuke said standing up with a smile.

"Us too!" Teresa and Zoe said as Takuya nods with a fist pump as Blake opens up another screen and began bringing up a map of the building.

"Right! Let's do it," The Kowuamon said as other shouts of agreement rang out.

"Right, so here is what we do," Erza said as she brought everyone around Blake's holo-screen to start planning.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Erza smirks as she heard the explosions ring out at the factory, the plan had been for Zoe, Daisuke, and Blake to cause a distraction at the entrance and lure as many Goblimon outside while Takuya and Teresa would sneak inside. During this Erza and JP would be helping the elderly and children Kokuwamon escape, the adult Kokuwamon had decided to fight back as well.

Bokomon and Neemon had decided to go with Takuy and Teresa for some reason but she wasn't gonna argue with them, shaking her head she looks at JP after they double-checked everyone was here and safe.

"Ready JP?" Erza asked making him nod and say goodbye to the child Kokuwamon he was talking to and ran with Erza down the hill.

"Do you really think we'll pull this off?" JP asked as they ran.

"Anything is possible if you believe in it JP," Erza said as they arrived at the factory and went past WargreymonX as he picked up a Goblimon and threw them pretty far while Kazemon was slicing things up and Hikarimon was keeping a vigil near the factory to stop the Goblimon from going back inside.

The two ran past her and inside where three Kokuwamon guided them.

"Hurry the others are at the end of this hallway!" A Kokuwamon said sounding urgent.

Erza gasped as they arrived at the energy reactor room, only to see chaos with Yukimon trying to protect Bokomon and Neemon with a few Kokuwamon from some Goblimon. Quite a lot of Goblimon mind you, while Agunimon was fighting a big mantis-looking digimon with sickles for hands.

"Who is that?!" JP asked wide-eyed.

"Snimon, he's the big boss of this place!" A second Kokuwamon said making Erza nod as Agunimon threw Snimon over the railing and into the reactor.

Agunimon went to attack but Snimon was faster, he flew up and sliced at Agunimon sending him into the wall clutching at his side which was bleeding red, it seemed to have a glow to it. (Kinda like in Digimon 2020, when Weregarurumon cuts his hand on a blade shard and glowing blue blood comes out, just picture that but red)

"Is there anything we can do?" Kokuwamon asked making JP look around before spotting a crane.

"Hey, how about a lift," JP asked pointing up to the crane.

"I see, crazy but brilliant," Erza said with a grin as one Kokuwamon grabbed her while the other two grab JP and flew them up to the crane.

Once on the crane JP rushed inside to the control panel and began using the controls, Erza held on with a cheer as JP spun the crane around to hit Snimon making him yell and go flying into the wall and get his sickle arms stuck in the wall.

"Alright!" Erza said before yelling as Snimon got one sickle free and swung at the crane sending out an attack, it hits slicing the crane up.

"JP! Erza!" Yukimon yells in worry as the crane arm lands hitting the energy reactor, a piece hits Snimon as well caging him to the wall.

As the smoke clears everyone looked at the reactor as JP and Erza's D-tector went off, Erza pulls hers out with a grin as they looked down below to see in the middle of the reactor were two spirits. One was a kneeling man in robes and armor holding a sword, the other a dragonic lady in armor ready to fight.

"Ready to claim some spirits?" JP asked making Erza nod as they jump down letting the Kokuwamon catch them and set them down at the base of the reactor.

"Spirit!" JP yells pointing his D-tector with Erza, both grin as the spirits flew inside them.

"It is time!" The female voice rang out as data surrounds the two of them.

INSIDE JP'S DATA CACOON

JP grins as he held up his hand making a data ring appear, he did a spin before holding up his hand and scanning the ring with his D-tector.

"Execute! Spirit evolution!" JP yells throwing his arms out making the data ring fly and wrap around his body as his clothing vanishes.

Behind JP was the totem, it surges with thunder as it moves to send that thunder right at JP.

His body glows white as it grew becoming a toned and muscular adult body, his hair grew down to his mid-back turning a bluish-black and going into a high-top ponytail. He held up his arms as thunder wrapped around his body forming blue and golden brown battle robes, boots form as fur appears around his neck. More thunder wraps around his shoulders and chest creating silver and golden armor.

Thunder danced across his head making a half blue oni-mask appear on his upper face, the white glow left his skin to show lightly tanned skin tone. His eyes glow electric yellow through the mask's eye-holes as he jumps down landing on a platform, he held out his hand summoning a sword and drawing up with a yell.

"Sandamon!" He yelled.

INSIDE ERZA'S DATA CACOON

Erza smirks as she held up her left hand making a data ring appear, she then held up her D-tector and after a look between her hands, she brought them together like she was gonna fist bump herself making the D-tector scan the ring.

"Execute! Spirit Evolution!" Erza yells throwing her arms out making the data ring grow and fly around her as her clothing vanishes.

Behind her, the totem glows red and sends out a burst of thick red energy that shot toward Erza.

Her body glows white as she held out her arms and legs, her body grew to become like an adult woman's with a toned muscular type body, her hands gained claws on them as the red energy raced across her body covering it from head to toe. She then moves and pushed forward making the red energy shatter to reveal her body covered in a black bodysuit, the red energy then covers her body once more making armor form.

It was silver in color with red accents on her armored skirt, chest, shoulder decal, and knees. She kicks out making armored boots form and then her arms. She lifts her head up as the white glow left her, a silver and red helmet forms, vaguely resembling a knight helmet but with dragonic silver horns. (Gallentmon's helmet just replace the little wings on the helmet with dragon horns)

She opens her eyes to show glowing golden eyes as she jumps down landing with a roar before summoning a battle-ax polearm as big as she was and swinging it.

"Xeniamon!" She yells as her hazard mark shines on her chest.

OUTSIDE THE CACOONS

The data cacoons fade to show the two new warriors of Thunder and Hazard.

"Look! They did it!" Agunimon said pushing himself up with Yukimon's help to steady him.

"Yes, they became Sandamon the warrior of Thunder and Xeniamon the warrior of Hazard!" Bokomon said looking at his book while down below Snimon got loose and charged at the duo.

Xeniamon growls rushing forward and meeting Snimon halfway, she pulls her first back and punched the bug digimon back, she then summons her battle ax making it glow red.

"Hazard Strike," Xeniamon said giving a powerful upward strike making Snimon go flying into the air with a yell.

"Thunder Slash!" Sandamon said drawing his blade and holding it at his side before he shot forward at amazing speeds and sliced across Snimon's body, the slice glows blue before shocking Snimon as he hits the ground smoking.

His fractal code appears as Sandamon lands before him and pulled out his D-tector.

"Where once your power was used for evil, let it now be used for good! Fractal Code...Digitize!" Sandamon said as he scans the fractal code turning Snimon into a digiegg which flies away.

Once done Sandamon turns to Xeniamon who grins giving a thumbs-up as everyone cheers above them, only for the celebration to be cut short as the generator sparks and starts to blow up.

"Run everyone! This place is gonna blow!" Xeniamon yelled jumping up to the second platform and began running as Sandamon follows close behind.

OUTSIDE

MORNING TIME

Everyone was cheering and celebrating as the wind factory lay in ruins, the Kokuwamon were happy to finally be free and the Goblimon were long gone having scattered with the factory's destruction.

Hikarimon hums as she finished healing Agunimon's side letting him return to being human, he gave Hikarimon and thumbs up while he went over to JP, Zoe, Teresa, Bokomon, and Neemon talking with the Kokuwamon.

"How does it feel?" WargreymonX asked as he stood with his arms crossed nearby the group leaning on a rock wall.

"Strange but...I feel complete now," Xeniamon said looking at herself as Hikarimon nodded.

"It will feel like that for a while," Hikarimon said as a strong wind blows making the trio of Minomon fly by them.

Xeniamon chuckles at this before shaking her head as she stretched.

"Hey, do you guys think it's a bit strange?" WargreymonX asked making the two female digimon look at him.

"Strange what?" Hikarimon asked holding her hip.

"How we're the only three not getting tired after spirit evolving? Even now I'm not even close to being tired," WargreymonX said heck he could even stay like this if he felt like it.

"Now that you mention it, it is a bit odd," Xeniamon said glancing at their friends.

"Maybe it's to do with our elements?" Hikarimon said tilting her head.

"Could be, I guess we'll have to wait and see," WargreymonX said as he unfolds his arms and went over to their friends.

'I wonder' Hikarimon thought as she looks up at the sky, what answers would that question bring them? Only time would tell.

Looks like JP and Erza got their spirits. Hooray! But WargreymonX is right how can the trio stay as digimon without getting tired? I guess the gang will have to find out one way or another but what adventure will they face next to find these answers? Stay tuned and find out!


Done!

Okay everyone has their spirits now, next chapter I'll be adding in my own adventure for Daisuke, Blake, and Erza.

In the next chapter, Mountains and helping hands.

Until then, Ja ne!

Until then, Ja Ne!
