Hey, y'all! Back again, and I just wanted to say that I'm kinda disappointed. I only got like two reviews for my newest chapter of The Book of Digimon. So, I'd like to ask if you guys would kindly go and review that chapter after you review for this one, that would make my day! You know how much we authors love those reviews. And on a side note, I got one of the girls names wrong last chapter. I'll be correcting that later.
Anyway, I think I've kept you all long enough. Enjoy the new chapter, leave a review, and please don't forget to review chapter 4 of The Book of Digimon. Now like Ryan Reynolds-Senpai once said…
MAXIMUM EFFORT!
Ginyu: Hey, can I do my famous Dance of the Disclaimer?
Me: Sounds entertaining… proceed.
Ginyu: Thanks boss! *While dancing* The following is a non-profit fan based Fan fiction! Ben 10 and all related characters are owned by Cartoon Network and Man of Action! And all other franchises used in this story belong to their respective owners!
Armor Digidestined! - The Terror of the Savage Kuwagamon!
As Ben and company stepped out of the portal to the Digital World, they took a moment to take in their surroundings. They were actually quite surprised.
"Wow, who is the decorator around here? I mean this is fantastic!" Ben said.
"Indeed, it's quite beautiful!" Desiree added.
"Yes… I can feel it…! This is like home to me!" Angelise said. "I can finally gaze upon Digi-World and its beauty! The tropical trees, the lush green fields, the untainted soil, the crystal clear waters, the… GOD, THIS IS BORING!"
Angelise tilted her head back and sighed after her outburst.
"No wonder I feel at home." Angelise said.
"Wow, Angelise, I didn't think you'd have an outburst like that so soon into getting here."
Hearing the voice, Angelise and company turned around to face a nearby bush and saw three strange looking creatures, that they assumed to be Digimon, crawl out. Well, not really crawl. More like… stumble and hop.
The first Digimon looks kind of like a miniature bird. It has small pink feathers growing closely packed on its body, and unusually for an In-Training Digimon, it has wings. Its most charming feature is the feather ornament attached to its head.
The next Digimon is a pale yellow Digimon with beady black eyes and looks kind of like an amphibian. It also has ear-like branchia growing from both sides of its head.
The final Digimon is a Baby Dragon looking Digimon with light blue and white skin, a small tail, horn-like protrusions that might be its ears, red eyes and stumpy arms and legs.
"Yay, they're finally here!" cheered the blue dragon.
It leapt into Ben's arms, startling our hero while the same could be said for Angelise and Desiree as the bird and amphibian hopped into their arms respectively.
"Whoa there, what's going on?" Ben asked. "Who are you guys?"
"We're your partners assigned to you by Kami herself! My name's DemiVeemon, but just call me DemiVeemon." said the little dragon.
"And I'm your partner, Mistress Angelise. My name is Poromon." added the bird.
Angelise just stared at Poromon for a few minutes, not really doing anything. She didn't even blink. It seemed as though she was going to have a mental breakdown or react hostilely.
Until… anime stars appeared in her eyes.
"KAWAII! YOU ARE JUST THE MOST ADORABLE THING I'VE EVER SEEN!" squealed Angelise as she hugged Poromon closer.
Ben and Desiree released breaths that they didn't know they were holding. But at least they know that Angelise wasn't going to react violently towards her Digimon. And with that little moment of tension dead and buried, Desiree looked at the little Digimon currently cuddled up in her arms.
"And I suppose that you are my partner?" she asked.
"Yup! I'm Upamon, good to finally meet you!" responded the pale yellow amphibian.
"Okay, so you guys are our partners. But how did Kami get in contact with you guys?" Ben asked.
But Desiree quickly turned around as her scouter detected something.
"Hold that thought! My Scouter has found something in that direction!" Desiree warned.
Ben and Angelise lightly tightened their grip on DemiVeemon and Poromon and followed Desiree to another bush. They peered through and saw exactly what was going on on the other side. Although it was not what anyone was expecting.
Angelise's POV.
To my surprise, there was a kid laying unconscious on the ground! This kid was a boy with lightly tanned skin, wild spiky brown hair, and he's wearing a pair of goggles on his forehead. He also wears a blue shirt with an orange star on each sleeve, a yellow undershirt that can be seen poking out from the bottom of his blue shirt, a pair of brown shorts, baggy socks, a pair of white gloves, and a pair of sneakers.
However, he had a different creature sitting on his chest. It looked to be nothing more than a pink blob with long, wavy ears, big red eyes, and a mouth that has a few sharp teeth sticking out in various areas. This one spoke in a voice that was clearly male in origin, and his body is quite similar to Poromon and Upamon in design.
"Tai? Yoo hoo, Tai?" the pink thing called.
"Yeah, I'm okay." the now named Tai said as he woke up.
He opened his eyes to reveal that they were a rich brown color. But as soon as he saw the pink thing staring at him, I got a strange need to plug my ears.
The boy screamed and backed up a few feet before standing up in fear of the creature. But with these guys, I could sense that there was nothing to be afraid of by using my Ki. In fact, I didn't even know I COULD do that!
"THAT IS THE LAST TIME I EAT CAMP FOOD!" Tai proclaimed.
The pink blob started bouncing up to Tai, obviously very excited about something.
"Hey, you don't need to be afraid, Tai. I'm your friend, I'm your friend, I'm your friend!" he said to the still freaked out youngling in front of me.
"Uh, just what are you? Have you had your rabies shots?" Tai asked.
His question didn't seem to deter the little guy, as his smile never left his face… body…? Uh… whatever he has.
"Everything's gonna be alright now, Tai. I've been waiting for you."
Tai yelped as the little guy leapt into his hands.
"Waiting for me?!" Tai inquired.
"My name's Koromon, and we're partners!"
"Koromon. And that means… talking head?" Tai asked, having calmed down a bit.
Koromon seemed to merely nod before speaking again.
"Hm. It means brave little warrior. And don't forget it, Tai."
"So what did you mean by partners? And how did you know my name?" Tai asked.
I wanted to go out there and try to help the kid. I could sense that he's what's called a Norma in my old world. God, I hope I never have to return to that hell again!
"Yeah. If you did, you'd probably destroy it the first chance you get." Cooler said from within my head.
"Please tell me these conversations aren't gonna become a thing." I mentally pleaded to him.
"Probably. But come on, isn't this better than possibly being stuck with no one to talk to if you and the others get separated?"
"Your ways of persuasion through the use of sound logic are simply uncanny."
"Tai, is that you?"
Tai turned around, while the rest of us looked in our peripheral vision, to see a new kid show up. He looked like he was around the same age as Tai, but he had spiky auburn colored hair, black eyes, and pale skin. He also wears an orange button up shirt, and a pair of green cargo shorts.
"Izzy? You're here too?" Tai asked.
"That's right. And I have this pink thing following me." Izzy said.
That's when another creature walked… crawled…? Out from the bushes next to the child. It too had a pink body, only it had big brown eyes, and a pair of arms with three, brown, stumpy fingers at the ends. It spoke up in a squeaky male voice.
"It is me, Motimon, at your service. Anybody want lunch?"
The sudden appearance of another Digimon startled Tai into flailing his arms around as he freaked out again. In the process he accidentally dropped Koromon, who bounced along harmlessly on the ground.
"ANOTHER ONE?! What ARE they?!"
"Oh, allow me to introduce myself. My friends call me Motimon. Everyone does, actually."
"I believe that those remote digital gadgets have taken on an actual life form." Izzy hypothesized. "I don't remember anything like this in the camp brochure."
Camp brochure? Did this Demi-god that Kami told us about choose a bunch of campers to protect the Digi-World? What a STUPID idea!
"Ya think? It's weird." Tai added.
"The vegetation seems lush, although the soil is quite common." Izzy said, reporting his findings.
He must have taken a soil sample earlier.
"Nothing is common in Digi-World." Motimon said.
"That's right, Tai. You're in the Digi-World!" Koromon added.
I scratched my head when Koromon said that. He acts as though these children are completely unaware of their mission here. And wouldn't you know, Tai and Izzy still didn't seem all that convinced.
"And just where is the Digi-World?" Tai asked.
"Well, I don't care so much where it is. I want to know WHAT it is." Izzy said.
"I guess I'll just have to take a look for myself." Tai added.
Tai's POV.
I climbed up to the top of the tallest tree I could find and sat on a branch that looked strong enough to support my weight. I've gotta figure out where we are, and find the others.
I reached into my pocket, and took out my mini telescope. I put it to my eye, and started looking for any landmarks that I might recognize. But what I saw really threw me for a loop.
"The ocean? What's that doing there? Our campsite isn't anywhere near the ocean. And I don't remember those mountains being there." I say to myself. "Hmmm, something tells me a compass isn't going to help much."
As I kept looking around, the little pink guy from earlier climbed up using his ears and sat on the branch next to me.
"Hey, Tai, what do ya see?" Koromon asked.
"Nothing I recognize…" I say back when something catches my eye. "Huh? Wait, what's that?"
It looks like a giant red and green kuwagata beetle with four arms, two legs, and a massive pair of pincers flying through the sky. It looped around and started flying in mine and Little Guy's direction.
"Look at that! It's some kind of giant, red beetle. And it's flying right at us!"
I took my telescope off of my eye and saw that the beetle was a lot closer than I thought. The little guy and I ducked down on our respective branches just in time for the top half of the tree to get sliced off by a pincer. The others down on the ground were sent into a major panic from the initial attack.
Third Person POV.
"I can't watch! That is seriously one bad digimon, even when he's in a good mood!" Motimon said.
"That's just great." Izzy said sarcastically.
The beetle came back around to attack again.
"Watch out!" Koromon exclaimed. "His name is Kuwagamon. He's an insectoid digimon. Vicious and ruthless, with teeth like knives and scissor hands that can chop through anything!"
"Who needs a gardener?" Tai asked.
Koromon jumped off his branch, and fired pink bubbles at Kuwagamon. It him right in the face, knocking him off course slightly. Kuwagamon still hit the tree, knocking Tai off of it. Even Koromon was clipped by Kuwagamon. Tai took quite a fall, hitting the ground with a thud.
"Tai, you ok?" Izzy asked.
"Well, I have had better days." Tai said.
That was when Koromon bounced in front of them, groaning in pain from being hit by Kuwagamon.
"Little guy! You should pick on bugs your own size." Tai said, once he got to him. "What's your name? Koromon?"
"That's me."
"You're pretty brave, for a little guy. I'm impressed." Tai said.
Koromon smiled bashfully at the praise.
"It was nothing." Koromon said.
"Tai, he's heading this way again!" Izzy exclaimed.
"Oh dear oh dear, quickly everyone, this way!" Motimon said, leading the others to safety.
"Come on!" Tai said, with Izzy right behind them.
They ran as fast as they could, but Kuwagamon was hot on their trail. And somewhere along the way, Ben and his entourage had joined them and were also running from Kuwagamon.
"Hey, who are you guys?" Tai asked while running.
"We'll explain later! Right now, we need to outrun bug juice back there!" Desiree replied.
"Hurry up! For having two long legs you people are awfully slow!" Motimon said.
Motimon stopped in front of a tree.
"Inside this tree!" he said, before he jumped inside of it.
Tai and Izzy hesitated, but decided to follow Motimon. Ben was in the same boat with Desiree and Angelise, but gritted his teeth and dragged them into the tree. Desiree by the arm, and Angelise by the tail. When they got inside, they saw the inside looked like it was made of metal.
"What kind of tree is this?" Izzy asked.
"It's a hiding tree silly." Motimon said.
Kuwagamon roared as he flew through the forest, looking for his prey. Everyone kept their heads down and waited. They figured that if they stayed quite, Kuwagamon would lose interest and fly away. Sure enough, the sound of the giant bug's buzzing wings faded out.
Angelise's POV.
"All clear! You all can come out now." Says a new voice that clearly belonged to a girl.
We walked out of the tree to see a girl who looked about Tai's age. She had tan skin, brown eyes, and reddish orange hair. She was wearing a strange looking blue hat, a yellow tank top, a pair of skinny jeans, sneakers, and a pair of red gloves.
"Sora!" Tai said, relieved to see a friend. "We were just setting up a trap for that big bug."
"So I'd hiding in a tree is your idea of setting a trap?" Ben quipped.
That's when we noticed another one of those odd creatures by Sora's feet. It was also pink, but it was a few shades darker than Koromon or Motimon. It had blue leaves and a red stem on its head, green eyes, and a slight beak.
"I am enchanted to meet you, friends of Sora. Welcome." it greeted in a female voice.
"Everyone, meet Yokomon - my own personal something or other." Sora introduced.
"Looks kinda like a radish." Tai said.
"Now, Tai, be nice." I scolded.
"Must be another one of them. Whatever they are." Izzy said.
We looked back towards DemiVeemon, Poromon and Upamon as the went to join their friends. That's when I felt a major migraine coming on. ANOTHER Digimon showed up! This one was a very pale pink color with beady, black eyes, long wavy ears, and the body type of a guinea pig. It also had two small canines poking out of its upper lip.
"They're popping up everywhere!" Izzy said.
"Yeah they are!" Ben added.
"Hello, I am Tokomon." It introduced in a male voice before turning to the trees. "Hey, TK, over here!"
"Coming!" replied the voice of a small child.
Two new boys came running out from the trees. One of them was obviously the youngest in the group, looking to be about six or seven years old. He had light skin, short, blonde hair, and blue eyes. He wears a green vest over a light green shirt with long sleeves, khaki shorts, yellow socks, green and white strapped tennis shoes, and an odd green hat with a blue gem stone.
The older boy looked like he was around Tai and Sora's age. He has spiky blonde hair, light skin, and blue eyes. He wears a sleeveless green shirt, brown gloves, blue jeans, and dark brown shoes with gray soles. Held under his arm was a small creature that looked like an earless, orange furred ape head with red eyes, and a big, black horn sticking out of the top of his head… Body…? Oh, forget it!
"Tokomon, there you are!" said the little boy.
"TK!" called the older boy.
"Hey, Matt, you too?" Tai asked.
"Yeah, I'm here too." the older blonde answered.
"No, he means that creature under your arm." Desiree elaborated.
Matt looked at the little guy.
"Oh, t-this guy? Well, uh…"
"Hello. You appear pleasant." the little guy said. "Tsunomon is my name, and I am quite pleased to meet you."
While TK and Tokomon were cuddling like the children they were, I was busy trying to make sense of how I would be of any help in completing a mission like this one. But I was far too distracted by a screaming, blue haired, glasses wearing boy who was running right towards us. And Tai seemed to know who this is.
"Joe?" asked Tai.
I can tell he's a bit freaked out by this new kid's behavior. Not that I blame him.
Now that I look closer, I see yet another Digimon was floating along right behind Joe. It resembled a blue eyed, grey skinned plesiosaur hatchling with only the front flippers, a shorter neck, and a strange, orange hair on its head.
"Help me! This thing…! This thing…! It won't leave me alone!" Joe cried, stopping in front of us.
"Hey, who you calling a thing?" the creature asked as he perched on Joe's shoulder. "I'm no stuffed animal. The name is Bukamon."
Joe started freaking out again after Bukamon introduced himself and looked helplessly at our gathered group. And obviously, he was oblivious as to how they could be so calm, given the situation.
"What's wrong with you guys?! Can't you see this creature hanging off of me? And who are those people with you?! And why do the girls have tails?!" Joe asked.
Wow, and here I thought nobody would notice mine and Desiree's tails. Either most of these kids were just too scared to notice, or they just need glasses. He looked down, and noticed the other Digimon by our feet. No one was really surprised by the child's freak out.
"They're everywhere! What are they?!" Joe demanded to know.
Bukamon floated down to join his friends, as he started them off.
"We're -"
"- Digimon! Digital Monsters!" They exclaimed all at once.
Now this REALLY shocked the children. Honestly, I don't blame them. I'd probably act the same if I hadn't seen and fought stranger.
"Digital MONSTERS?" Tai asked.
"Yes, Digimon!" They replied back.
"Why does that name sound like something out of a children's anime show?" Ben asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine, Ben." Desiree said before asking "What's anime?"
"We'll tell you about it later. But to answer one of your questions, Joe, we were also transported here like you all were. My name is Angelise Misurugi."
"I am Desiree, and it is a pleasure to meet you all." said the now Saiyan woman.
"And I'm Ben Tennyson. Just call me Ben. Anyways, you all said that you're Digimon, right?"
"That's right, Ben, but we're not just Digital Monsters! We're much more than that!" Koromon replied. "We're kinda cute."
"And very loyal." Tsunomon added.
"With beautiful hair." Yokomon said.
"Or maybe no hair at all." Motimon said.
"We can be funny." Bukamon added, laughing at the end.
"And adorable." Tokomon said.
"Some of us can bring you good luck!" DemiVeemon added.
"We can also fly!" Poromon said.
"We can also be really, really, really bouncy!" Upamon giggled as he bounced around.
His antics made me Desiree giggle while Ben offered an amused smile. His antics even helped the ever skittish Joe calm down somewhat.
"It's a pleasure to meet each of you. My name's Tai, and these are my friends from camp. I'd like you to meet Sora."
"Nice place you got here. Except the bugs." Sora said.
"The self-proclaimed cool one over there is Matt." Tai continued.
"No autographs, please." Matt said.
"And this is Joe."
"I'd shake hands, if you had any." Joe said.
"Izzy here is our computer expert."
"Do you have internet access?" Izzy asked.
"And last, but not least, this little guy is, uh…"
"TK. Call me TK. And I'm not as small as I look."
"There now, is that everybody?" Tai asked.
"What happened to that girl with the funny pink hat?" Sora asked.
"Now now, her name is Mimi." Tai chided.
"Perhaps she's picking flowers, or on a nature hike." Izzy suggested.
Izzy was interrupted by a blood curdling scream piercing the air. Which was far more painful for Blake, due to her ultra sensitive hearing.
"AAAHHH! SOMEBODY HELP ME!"
"Come on!" Tai said.
"We're right behind you!" Desiree followed up.
We all ran towards where they heard the scream, knowing that we probably didn't have much time. While Desiree and I are now capable of flight to a degree, we decided against using flight, knowing that everyone else would have trouble keeping up otherwise. Well, everyone except Ben.
"Ok, so she's not picking flowers." Izzy admitted.
"Mimi, where are you?" Tai called out.
Eventually, we saw a girl - who we assumed was Mimi - running for her life with a plant like creature.
Mimi is a girl with light skin, long wavy light brown hair and brown eyes. She mostly wears her hair tied back in a high ponytail with a yellow hair band, with long strands framing her face. She wears a western-style red dress with a buttoned turtleneck, a dark brown belt with a golden buckle, light brown gloves with brown straps around the wrists, pink socks, and brown and white shoes. She also wears a large pink cowgirl hat with a white drawstring.
But there was someone else with them. It was a girl who looked like she was in her late teens. She has dark skin, curly black hair that fell freely down her back, and brown eyes. But what set her apart from Mimi was the fact that she was dressed as though she was the daughter of an ancient Hawaiian chieftain.
The Digimon with her was a little white jellyfish with a face on it. Seems kind of appropriate when you think about it.
"Mimi, it's okay!" Tai said, trying to calm her down.
Suddenly, Desiree's Scouter beeped as it detected a familiar and very hungry entity. Even I was able to detect it!
"That isn't what she's running from. Stay here, kids!" I ordered as I ran towards the girl.
"Angelise, wait!" Tai called.
"ARE YOU CRAZY, GIRL?! DON'T JUST CHARGE IN RECKLESSLY!" Ben called after me.
That's when he and the others saw what me and Desiree had sensed. It was none other than Kuwagamon who was chasing the two girls!
"It's that big bug again!" Tai said in horror.
"GET DOWN!" I yelled.
Fortunately, Mimi and that strange girl did what I said and dived to the ground. Calling on my immense newfound strength, I leapt up and threw a wicked right hook at Kuwagamon, hitting him square in the face! But he proved to be far more durable than I thought, as he was only pushed back a few feet from my punch. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna give up!
"Why don't you pick on someone your own species, ya ugly lump of dung!" I yelled.
Kuwagamon roared at me as he flew off, but I highly doubt that we've seen the last of him.
"Wow, you really wounded Kuwagamon's pride!"
"Oh, you're still here."
"Yeah, just been sitting here watching you run from a giant bug. Kinda bored and wishing I had something to do. You got any ideas?"
"Now is not the time!"
"Mimi, are you alright?" the plant asked in a feminine voice, proving that she's a female.
"I think so." Mimi breathed.
"Don't worry, Tanemon is here to protect you!"
"You doing alright, Moana?" asked the jellyfish.
"Yeah, I'll be okay." said the Hawaiian looking girl.
"Don't you worry, for Poyomon shall guard you with his life!"
Sora and Ben walked up to Mimi and Moana, and tried to calm them down.
"It's okay now." Sora said.
"Oh, Sora." Mimi said.
"Are you sure you're not hurt? You seemed to be limping when you were running from Kuwagamon." Ben asked.
Moana actually winced and began to rub her ankle. I looked and saw that there was a fresh bruise beginning to form there. She must've either tripped or got hit by debris during the attack.
"I think I twisted my ankle. It hurts a lot, and I don't think I can walk for awhile." Moana said to Ben.
What he did next doesn't surprise me in the least. He picked Moana up and started to carry her bridal style, making the girl 'eep' and blush in surprise.
"Then I'll carry you. You won't be able to get away from Kuwagamon fast enough with a twisted ankle." Ben said.
"Thank you very much, mister…"
"Just call me Ben. I'm not old enough to be called 'mister' yet."
If he's just carrying her because she's hurt… why do I feel these pangs of jealousy at Moana right now?
Third Person POV.
"WATCH OUT, HERE HE COMES AGAIN!" Tai informed.
And he was right. Kuwagamon apparently was very determined to get his prey. And they knew that meant them!
"RUN!" Sora shouted.
Everyone began to run for their lives as the giant, predatory beetle flew after them. Ben, Angelise and Desiree were mentally cursing themselves for not having any weapons to fight Kuwagamon with, but knew it probably wouldn't make much of a difference. Kuwagamon's exoskeleton was just way too strong!
"GET DOWN!" Matt called as he pushed TK to the ground.
Everyone else followed, allowing Kuwagamon to fly over them while cutting more trees in the process.
"Will this nightmare never end!?" Joe asked, cringing as a tree fell near him. "My mom is gonna want a complete and total refund!"
"I think the issue is less about getting your money back and more about staying alive!" Angelise quipped.
"Here he comes again!" Yokomon warned.
"Ok, that does it, no more running away!" Tai exclaimed.
"I agree with Tai. That bug has attacked us for the last time!" Ben added, punching his palm in agreement.
"What else can we do?" Sora asked.
"She's right, there's no way we can fight that thing." Matt said.
"And not win anyway." Izzy added.
Reluctantly, they began running again as they tried to find a way to evade Kuwagamon's continued assault. It was a little more difficult for Ben to keep up since he was carrying Moana, but he somehow managed well enough. But their run for survival came to an abrupt end when they stopped at a cliff.
"Great, anyone bring a helicopter?" Matt asked rhetorically.
Tai and Ben began to approach the edge, hoping to find a way down. Perhaps there were some vines growing on the side of the cliff that could be used as a makeshift rope ladder.
"Be careful, Tai. And you too, Ben." Sora warned.
"There's no way down." Tai reported.
"He's right. We have find another way!" Ben added.
"Another way WHERE?" Sora asked.
Before anyone could say anything, Kuwagamon burst through the underbrush! He roared as he once again missed our young heroes, and Ben immediately started dragging Tai to the others. And a good thing, too. Because Kuwagamon is circling back again!
"WATCH OUT, GUYS!" Sora shouted.
Ben may have been too busy dragging Tai to safety, but he still noticed that Koromon and DemiVeemon were bouncing to the rescue.
"Here I go!" Koromon said.
"Don't forget me!" DemiVeemon added.
They inhaled, and blew more pink bubbles at Kuwagamon. Unfortunately, like the last time, these bubbles had no effect.
"Oh no, not again!" Tai exclaimed.
Ben could only watch in horror Koromon and DemiVeemon were knocked out of the air by Kuwagamon.
"DIGIMON, ATTACK!" Yokomon yelled, as each and every one of the digimon blew bubbles at Kuwagamon.
However, they were all knocked away by Kuwagamon. But this time, the attack was not in vain. Kuwagamon flew off course, and crashed into a cluster of trees. The group heard a low growling sound which they chalked up to being how Kuwagamon groans in pain.
"Yokomon!" Sora exclaimed.
All of the digimon were injured. The wounds themselves weren't fatal, but it hurt like heck.
"Koromon, are you crazy? Why'd you do it?" Tai asked.
"Sorry. It's just; I'm trying to make a good impression." Koromon said.
"Crazy guy." Tai said.
Every member of this group rushed over to their digimon partners, worry written clearly on their faces.
"Yokomon." Sora said.
"Tanemon, talk to me." Mimi begged.
"They must be programmed for courage." Izzy theorized as he picked Motimon up.
"Tokomon, what's wrong?" TK asked.
"Hey, Tsunomon, wake up." Matt said.
"Bukamon, wake up." Joe said.
"DemiVeemon, talk to me, are you alright?" Ben asked.
He couldn't live with himself if he allowed another of his friends to get hurt when he could have done something to prevent it. Though he was slightly relieved to see that DemiVeemon was the least injured out of all of them.
"I'm fine. We dragon types are made of sterner stuff." DemiVeemon replied.
"Upamon please, don't die! You've got to survive!" Desiree pleaded.
"Poromon… Why'd you do it?!" demanded an almost sobbing Angelise.
"Sorry, Angelise… but I'm not gonna let one of my friends get hurt on my watch…!" Poromon declared.
"Poyomon…! Get up, please!" Moana begged.
As the chosen children tried to awaken their Digimon partners, Cooler decided to pop back into a conversation with Angelise. And this seriously pissed her off.
"Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?"
"I'm SERIOUSLY in the middle of something here!" Angelise mentally replied.
"Yeah, I know, but I've been looking around and you have, like, no apps in here. I have already played the crap out of Mine Sweeper."
"WILL YOU JUST - wait! I have apps? I have Mine Sweeper?!" Angelise mentally asked in surprise. "I always thought I could just connect to the internet with my energy."
"I didn't even know we COULD do that!"
"Well you learn something new every day, now will you please just-"
"Hey… you want to play me in Mine Sweeper?"
"You CAN'T play someone in Mine Sweeper, that's a single player game!"
"No, you see, first I go and then you go and try to beat my time, and… hey, is Kuwagamon getting back up?"
"Huh?! DAMMIT!"
Suddenly, they heard Joe cry out in worry. Everyone looked over to see Kuwagamon stomping his way out of the trees.
"Sweet Kami-Sama above, Kuwagamon is PISSED!" Ben thought to myself.
"Get back!" Matt exclaimed.
Everyone ran towards the edge of the cliff with their Digimon clutched in their arms. Kuwagamon continued to roar in anger and hunger as he snapped his pincers at them. The situation seems quite hopeless now, doesn't it?
"I was hoping we'd seen the last of him." Sora said.
"Me too. I guess he had other plans, huh?" Tai said in agreement.
"I knew I should've brought my bug spray." Matt complained.
"Everybody get ready to run!" Moana ordered.
Kuwagamon once again roared and snapped his pincers at our heroes and heroines. Well, if our team from Remnant is going to die, at least they'll have prevented these kids from being claimed by the cold clutches of death. But that's when Koromon said something that stunned them all.
"No, we fight!"
"Huh?" Tai said.
"That's right, it's the only way. Stand and fight." Koromon said.
"Give it up, will ya?" Tai said.
"No, Koromon's right, it's time to show what we're made of." Motimon said.
"No don't!" Izzy pleaded.
"They're right!" Yokomon said.
"No way! It's hopeless; you're no match for him, Yokomon!" Sora said.
"Let me go, Let me go, Let me go, Let me go!" Tsunomon exclaimed, struggling to get out of Matt's grip.
"Yes! We can do it, We can do it, We can do it, We can do it, We can do it, We can do it!" Tokomon said, trying to get out of TK's grip.
"Let me go, Let me go, Let me go!" Bukamon exclaimed, flapping his arms to get out of Joe's arms.
"Tanemon, you too?" Mimi asked. Tanemon nodded her head.
"Poyomon? Are you sure?" Moana asked.
"As long as Poyomon is protecting Moana, Poyomon will fight whoever comes his way, boss!" Poyomon stated.
Ben looked at DemiVeemon, and saw that he too wanted to fight. He looked at him… and Ben could see a bit of himself when he was starting out as a hero in the little one. He wanted to protect everyone, however he can. He smiled and set him down.
"Go on, DemiVeemon. You can do it!" Ben encouraged.
"You're not gonna try to stop me?" DemiVeemon asked.
Ben just shook his head.
"No way. And do you know why?" Ben asked. Not waiting for a response, he continued. "Because I know that deep within, you have the power to take down Kuwagamon and save your friends! But you won't be alone! You've got all of us on your side!"
Angelise and Desiree were amazed at how much Ben believed in DemiVeemon, despite having met him only an hour ago. So they set down Poromon and Upamon and nodded in agreement. Their eyes told their Digimon all they needed to know.
"I'm sorry Tai." Koromon said, before flying out of Tai's arms.
The other Digimon quickly followed suit.
"Come on, Digimon!" Koromon said, leading the charge.
As all of the Digimon charged in to attack Kuwagamon, they all heard their partners begging for them to retreat. But some of the partners were actually cheering for their Digimon.
"It's useless! Yokomon!" Sora exclaimed.
"Don't do it, Motimon!" Izzy shouted.
"No wait! Don't do it, Tsunomon!" Matt called out.
"Don't go!" TK cried.
"Turn around! Come back, Bukamon!" Joe shouted out worriedly.
"Tanemon! Be careful!" Mimi said.
"Don't you dare die, Poyomon!" cried Moana.
"Show him your stuff, DemiVeemon!" shouted Ben.
"Turn Kuwagamon into bug juice, Poromon!" yelled Angelise, giving Poromon a pep talk.
"You can do it, Upamon!" Desiree cheered.
"NO! DON'T KOROMON, COME BACK!" Tai called as he attempted to run after Koromon.
Suddenly, there was a mysterious glow coming from Tai and the others. Our heroes from Remnant looked over to see that there were seven devices of similar design clipped to their bodies.
A similar glow manifested in front of Ben, Angelise, Moana and Desiree as they each grabbed a ball of light. The light died down to reveal four more devices of the same function as the children's. However, there were some differences.
Ben, Desiree and Angelise all had devices that looked the same as each other. Each one resembled a walkie-talkie that had a white center with different colored grips. Blue for Ben, red for Angelise and yellow for Desiree.
But Moana definitely had an unusual one. It was rectangular with an odd pad on the top and three oval shaped buttons under the screen. Hers was primarily white with some light blue accents.
And just like with Tai and the other children's devices, the screens on them were glowing with a rainbow light! Then, a dark cloud appeared above the digimon, and eleven rainbow colored lights beams descended over them and caused them to change shape.
"KOROMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… AGUMON!"
Agumon is a short and stout Tyrannosaurus rex-like Digimon standing about 3 feet tall, and has amber orange skin and light green eyes. He also has flattened forearms with broad, three-clawed hands, and his legs and arms are shown to be very vascular. His tail is stubby, and his head and snout are almost as large as the rest of his body.
"POYOMON DIGIVOLVE TO… SNOWAGUMON!"
SnowAgumon looks very similar to Agumon, only he's covered in bluish white scales and has blue eyes. He's also taller and leaner than Agumon and has these silver belts that act like armbands around his forearms.
"DEMIVEEMON DIGIVOLVE TO… VEEMON!"
Veemon is a bipedal dragon Digimon with blue skin and red eyes. He has white coloration in his belly and snout, a small horn on his nose, two ear-like appendages on his head, a yellow "V"-shaped mark on his forehead, and two yellow upside-down triangle marks under his eyes. He has five fingers on his hands and three toes on each foot, and a claw on each finger and toe.
"YOKOMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… BIYOMON!"
Biyomon is a pink bird with arm-like wings, a feather mane, a red beak, blue eyes, blue stripes on her crest, blue borders on two of her head feathers and her tail feathers, yellow legs, and red claws on her wings and feet. She wears a metallic ring on her left leg.
"MOTIMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… TENTOMON!"
Tentomon resembles an enormous ladybug. He has six legs in total, with the front pair used as arms with grey talons at the end. He has large, green eyes and two yellow antennae reaching out from his head. His wing-case is covered with grey spines. His mouth doesn't move when he speaks, but does when he eats.
"TSUNOMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… GABUMON!"
Gabumon is a maroon-eyed yellow-skinned lizard in a bluish-white pelt with navy blue markings. A yellow horn protrudes at the top of his head and his belly is blue with unusual pink markings.
"TOKOMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… PATAMON!"
Patamon is a small flying guinea pig-like creature with light blue eyes and bat-like wings, which could possibly be his ears. He has a short, stubby tail. His underside is a light cream color, while his back and head are orange.
"BUKAMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… GOMAMON!"
Gomamon is a white, furry seal with no nose and long ears, purple markings, an orange-red mane, large claws, a short tail, and a W-shaped smile with two pointed teeth popping out.
"TANEMON DIGIVOLVE TOO… PALMON!"
Palmon is a plant-like creature which has light green skin with purple-tipped claws. She has a pink flower with a yellow center on her head. She has a small tail and small bumps lining her back.
"POROMON DIGIVOLVE TO… HAWKMON!"
Hawkmon is a Bird Digimon whose name and design are derived from the hawk. He has red and white feathers, dark red claws at the end of each wing, a yellow beak and a headband with a feather sticking out of the back.
"UPAMON DIGIVOLVE TO… ARMADILLOMON!"
Armadillomon is a Mammal Digimon whose name and design are derived from the armadillo. His body is covered in a hard shell.
The light soon died down to reveal our heroes' Digimon allies in their new forms. They were all astounded by what they were seeing, and I think that even Kuwagamon was surprised.
"Look at them! What happened to the little guys?!" Sora asked.
"They're… bigger." Tai replied.
"That's putting it lightly, Tai." Moana quipped.
With a battle cry, the Digimon charged at Kuwagamon and rammed him at full force. But they were easily swatted away by the larger beetle Digimon. They landed hard on the ground, but just got right back up.
"Alright, you asked for it!" Agumon growled.
In response to this, Kuwagamon started flapping his wings again and tried to take flight. But our heroes' Digimon friends weren't about to let that happen.
"Poison Ivy!" Palmon chanted.
She extended her fingers like vines, and easily grappled Kuwagamon in order to prevent him from escaping. Patamon flew up, and readied an attack of his own.
"Boom Bubble!"
Patamon inflated his body, and shot a bubble of compressed power at the giant beetle. It hit its mark, doing damage with concussive energy. Tentomon buzzed up and shot off an attack of his own.
"Super Shocker!"
Our group of protagonists was astounded by the fact that Tentomon shot a blast of electricity from his antennae. It hit home and sent Kuwagamon to the ground just in time to get tripped up by Gomamon and Armadillomon. Agumon and SnowAgumon, along with Gabumon, Hawkmon and Biyomon were ready to hit him as well.
"Stand back, everyone!" Agumon warned. "Pepper Breath!" he intoned a shot a fireball at Kuwagamon.
"Little Blizzard!" SnowAgumon intoned as he shot a stream of freezing wind from his mouth.
Both attacks hit their target just as Gabumon and the others followed up with their own attacks.
"Blue Blaster!"
Gabumon opened his mouth, and shot a concentrated stream of blue fire at his foe.
"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon shot a spiral of green fire at Kuwagamon.
"Air Claw!" intoned Hawkmon as he slashed Kuwagamon with blades made of wind.
All of the attacks were spot on, and caused Kuwagamon's head to catch fire. Kuwagamon roared in pain, then reared his head back and roared some more in order to douse the flames.
"Now, all together!" SnowAgumon ordered.
All of them shot their attacks at Kuwagamon, and they all hit him in the chest. This caused his body to ignite with a massive amount of flame. But that wasn't the end of it.
Veemon ran up and delivered the finishing blow to the giant bug
"V-Headbutt!"
Veemon leapt up and hit Kuwagamon in the chest with a headbutt that had a considerable amount of force behind it. The results were Kuwagamon being sent falling to the ground, groaning in defeat.
Our heroes stood there in shock, barely able to process what had happened. It was just amazing!
"They made vaporware out of him!" Izzy said in awe.
"Told you we could do it!" Agumon laughed, as all of the digimon ran to their tamers.
Tai just broke out into a huge grin and ran over to hug his Digimon partner.
"Koromon, or Agumon or whoever you are! You did it! You did it! You did it!" Tai cheered.
Everyone smiled and laughed as they celebrated with their Digimon. Even Desiree was laughing and hugging Armadillomon as they celebrated the defeat of Kuwagamon.
"How about that Super Shocker? Pretty wizard huh?" Tentomon asked Izzy.
"So how'd I do, boss?" SnowAgumon asked.
"You were amazing out there, buddy!" Moana replied. "And… boss?"
"Yeah, you're the boss!" SnowAgumon said.
"OH, HAWKMON! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE NOT HURT!" wailed Angelise as she engulfed her Digimon in a bone crushing hug.
I suppose she was more worried about Hawkmon than she let on. A lot more worried.
"Yes... I know… But you don't have to choke me to prove it!" Hawkmon wheezed out.
"Nice Work, Veemon! You guys were awesome out there!" Ben praised as he bro-hugged Veemon.
"Thanks, Ben. I'm just glad you guys are safe." Veemon replied.
But the celebration was not to last. For like a bean burrito returning to ruin your day, Kuwagamon burst through the trees once more. And boy did he seem pissed off!
"Watch out!" Sora shouted.
Tai and Agumon ran out of the way just in time to avoid Kuwagamon as he jammed his pincers into the cliffside. The result was cracks forming in the area where his pincers were stuck.
"Guess we celebrated too soon." Ben said.
Thanks to Kuwagamon, the cliff started to give way, making everyone fall into the river. They screamed as they thought that this may very well be the end of them all.
Looks like things have gone from bad to worse as our heroes and heroines plummet to their doom! Will they survive? How did they get there? Is this perhaps another one of Ozpin's hairbrained schemes? Find out on the next chapter of Battle of Gods and Demons!
