Episode Summary: With both Spencer and Greemon separated from the rest of the disciples, Spencer found himself in a cell, with Greemon and Zonemon. The episode was all about what happened with Spencer; Greemon, and Zonemon after being separated from the others, as Spencer's character was explored more. Tragedies happened, and abilities were to be discovered before Spencer's escape, but Spencer didn't escape alone.

Day 5:
Dawn of the 13th of April 2007, Wednesday
Dungeon Cells, Showdown Coliseum

Spencer twitched, and slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was blurriness and darkness. Spencer shook his head and the blurriness was gone, but the darkness was still there. Spencer moaned quietly, and sat up straight against the wall. He noticed that he was in some sort of cell, with one small window; too small to escape through, and the cell was made out of stones and rocks, but there was vegetation around on the walls; ceiling, and floor.

Through the small window, Spencer still saw darkness concluding that it was still night or that he was in some part of the Digital World that was covered by darkness. He noticed that he was still wearing his uniform, but he searched for his Meric Digivice and couldn't find it. He quickly realized that whoever imprisoned him took away his Meric Digivice, but then he remembered that his digivice fell from him when he was attacked.

So it wasn't with whoever imprisoned him, yet hopefully was safe with one of the other disciples. He remembered Graslmon being captured with him and he glanced around the cell, hoping to see Graslmon imprisoned with him. Instead of seeing Graslmon, Spencer saw Greemon with him, knocked out unconscious in the cell with him. Spencer quietly glanced at the cell's gate and saw that it was black irons, which were too close to each other, so that he couldn't squeeze out from it.

Neither could any other codelimin Spencer thought.

"I see you're awake also." A familiar male voice remarked.

Spencer glanced to his right and saw a cat on two legs with light green fur. His eyes narrowed, as he was sure that the familiar voice was from the cat.

"Who are you?" Spencer asked.

"I'm Zonemon; Centermon's juvenile form, or a level lower. I'm Mammal Jerebi. My name stands for Zone Monster. I'm an ancient copedam. My attacks are: Power Spin and Mane Pads."

[Zonemon was a cat on two legs with the same height as Lucemon's. His fur was light green as he had a white mane behind his head: a short, smooth one. His eyes were brown as he had dark green circular soft pads that weren't spiked on his shoulders; elbows, and knees. A white belt was around his waist, as white tight bracelets were around his wrists. His hands were padded, as they were cat like, with the claws being extracted, or kept in the pads. His feet were different though, as he claws were sharp and white. The crest of myths was on his chest, covered by his fur. The crest was colored dark green.

"Where are we?" Spencer asked.

Zonemon didn't reply instantly, as he took his time glancing around the cell. Once done, he turned his attention back to Spencer and shrugged.

"In some dungeon cell I guess." Zonemon replied.

"But where?" Spencer asked.

"Where is this dungeon cell located in the Digital World? Underground for one thing, and for another... I don't know." Zonemon shook his head.

"So we're on our own?" Another familiar voice asked.

Spencer turned his head towards Greemon, and saw him awake and standing on his quadruple feet. Spencer smiled; got up, and walked over to Greemon. He caringly rubbed Greemon's head.

'I'm glad you're O.K.' Spencer thought.

'It'll take more than a cobweb to take me down.' Greemon thought, giggling.

"Apparently we are." Zonemon replied.

"What I want to know is how come you are here with us?" Greemon inquired.

"My guess is as good as yours." Zonemon replied.

"What happened?" Greemon asked.

"What was the last thing you remember?" Zonemon inquired.

Greemon took a few moments to recall the last thing he remembered before waking up in a dark cold cell. He remembered the Dokugumon capturing him in their cobwebs, pinning him into the sand, and he remembered screaming in agony from with the poison from the cobwebs entering their bodies. After that... Waking up in a cold dark cell. Greemon concluded that after he felt the poison spreading in his body, he went unconscious somehow and ended up where he was.

"Poison spreading in my body." Greemon whispered his eyes wide.

Zonemon nodded his head.

"After that both of you were swallowed into the earth." Zonemon informed.

"'Swallowed'?" Spencer asked.

"Literally swallowed. I don't know how to put it any other way." Zonemon shrugged.

"What about you? Did they capture you the same way they did with us?" Greemon asked.

Zonemon nodded, "Yes. Like you both, I felt the poison spread in my body, before I went unconscious and when I woke up, I found myself here with both of you."

"Is the poison still in our bodies?" Spencer asked, standing up.

Slowly, Zonemon shrugged.

"I don't know." He replied.

"This isn't good." Spencer muttered.

"It gets worse." Greemon whispered.

"What?" Spencer asked, turning to his copedam.

"You three, follow us... Now!" A mischief voice demanded.

Spencer turned towards the cell gate, and he instantly paled, noticing three devilish looking codelimin.

"What are those?" Spencer asked his voice shaky.

Greemon back up a step, "I know what they are, but check your digivice."

Spencer sweat-dropped, "When I fell, it dropped from my hand."

Greemon gasped, "You mean we're defenseless now?"

"That's exactly what he means." Zonemon confirmed.

"Come along!" One of the three codelimin ordered.

"We'll have more answers with following them." Zonemon decided, stepping towards the codelimin.

Instantly, once he was close enough, one of the three codelimin grabbed onto Zonemon's arms and held onto it.

"Move along you two!" Another codelimin demanded.

"You go first Spencer." Greemon whispered, behind Spencer.

"What?!" Spencer exclaimed.

'I'm terribly scared of those codelimin. They have given me nightmares countless times throughout my life. You go first please.' Greemon thought, pleading.

Spencer sighed, 'Like I'm not afraid of them either! Just great! Fine I'll go.'

Spencer walked towards the open gate, and Greemon fearfully followed him. One of the three codelimin tried to grab onto Spencer, but Spencer shrugged it off, walking along with the three codelimin without being held back. Zonemon was in front of Spencer, while Greemon was behind Spencer, also not being held by any of the codelimin. The three devilish short codelimin escorted their three prisoners out of the dungeons...

Spencer; Greemon, and Zonemon all walked with their hostile escort through the dungeons, and up narrow long stairs, heading up to the surface. Spencer glanced around him and saw only darkness. He saw their escort, as the one holding Zonemon was in the lead, and the remaining ones were in the rear behind each other. That left Greemon behind Spencer. Spencer knew he had a chance to escape but to where?

He couldn't jump off the stairs because he sensed that it would lead to his death, and he didn't want to risk that, not like that any way. He wanted to know where he was and what was going on. He was also worried about the poison, if there was any remaining in their bodies that is. Light appeared up ahead, and one by one, they all stepped outwards...

Zonemon; Spencer, and Greemon all stopped to glance at their surroundings, but the two escorts behind them pushed both Spencer and Zonemon to continue on, while Greemon willingly followed. Behind them an iron gate slid downwards, shutting the entrance into the dungeons. The hostile escort left Spencer; Greemon, and Zonemon all alone. Having a good look around, Zonemon realized where he was.

"Showdown Coliseum... This definitely isn't good." Zonemon muttered.

"What?" Spencer asked, approaching Zonemon.

"This is one of three coliseums that I know of in the Digital World, and this one is deep in Process. We're deep in the jungle of Process. This coliseum is one of two coliseum owned by the Demon Lord of Gluttony." Zonemon explained.

"... Mmm... O.K... So... Who are those? And what are those?" Spencer asked, noticing the reddish guards at the numerous exit or entrance tunnels.

"Those, my friend, are Vilemon, also known as Evilmon, because they're so evil. It's really neat, because if you play the words of Vilemon or Evilmon, then you would get their second name. Alone they are easy maturity Digimon, but in packs, they are deadly. They're attacks are: Nightmare Shocker and Scratch."

Spencer; Greemon, and Zonemon all noticed the audience in the large roman coliseum turn towards who spoke and bowed their heads. Even the guards bowed their heads from their positions without turning. The audience was made up of white ghost codelimin, along with numerous Vilemon. The coliseum looked like any roman coliseum back in Earth, but the only difference was that this was black in color and vegetation covered its walls and seats in numerous places.

"Speaking of the demon lord." Greemon muttered.

There was a large throne like seat on the upper deck of the coliseum, which looked down into the coliseum. A three red-eyed codelimin wearing a black leather suit, carrying a large gun was in front of the seat about to sit down.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Beelzemon: One of the Seven Demon Lords, and the Lord of Gluttony. I'm also known as Beelzebumon. I'm mate level, grasl type. I'm the master of this coliseum: Showdown Coliseum. My attacks are: Double Impact; Darkness Claw; Primal Orb. That's me.

"As for my loyal coliseum guards... Please welcome the feared and nightmarish Digimon from Digital Hell! The maturity of devils... Boo-Boogeymon! They're gladly grasl type Digimon and their loyalty to their villainous masters comes first for them. They are merciless and strict Digimon. Their attacks are: Death Crash and Ruby Eyeeeee.

"Last but not least, please welcome the attending audience of Bakemon! These are weak maturity Digimon, but their spooks in groups strikes fear into even the hardiest of souls. Like many evil villainous Digimon, Bakemon gladly are grasl type Digimon. Be careful, because if you are successful enough to take off their white cloaks, then you'd be in for a heart attack. Their attacks are: Dark Claw; Evil Charm; Ghost Chop."

With that done, Beelzemon sat down smiling, holding his gun in right hand over the throne seat's right arm.

"Bring in the gladiator opponents!" Beelzemon announced.

"'Gladiator'?" Zonemon asked, with wide eyes.

"Of course! This is like in roman times when human gladiators in Earth clashed with roman guards or beasts, and the gladiators themselves were just criminals in the eyes of the Romans." Greemon noted.

"Well, I see that some one has done his homework... Where are the opponents?!" Beelzemon exclaimed.

One of the closed up tunnels that two Boogeymon were guarding opened up on the opposite side of where Spencer; Greemon, and Zonemon were. One by one, their three opponents walked out, and the tunnel slid down shut behind them. Spencer; Greemon, and Zonemon noticed that all their opponents were enslaved. The first facing Greemon was what looked like a stripped rabbit. The one facing Spencer looked like a young yellow lion cub with a golden necklace around his neck.

The one facing Zonemon was too familiar, with it being Bearmon. All of them had empty white eyes and faint blue mists on top of their heads.

"I recognize Bearmon, but who are the other two?" Spencer asked.

"Elecmon - Juvenile Mammal Meric - Normally, Elecmon are gentle codelimin, but if they are enslaved or their friends threatened then they're vicious. In the past, Elecmon were known to be caretakers of Primary Villages around the Digital World, but with the primary villages all destroyed, the Elecmon were hunted and most were deleted, except for several Elecmon which were enslaved - His attacks are: Super Thunder Strike; Body Attack; Nine Tails; Lightning Knife; Sparkling Thunder; S-Thunder Smack."

"Leormon - Juvenile Mammal Jerebi - Leormon are dangerously scarce codelimin, and his existence was only confirmed in recent years. His territoriality was very strong and even among codelimin of the same species; he won't pardon those who enter his territory. The fur on his head carried a trace of static electricity when he's alert, and it was said to produce a menacing sound. His attacks are: Leo Claw and Critical Bite."

"Elecmon and Leormon... I never thought I would ever see a Leormon." Greemon muttered.

"Neither did I." Zonemon agreed.

"Even now they're even scarcer than before." Beelzemon remarked.

"Why are there three?" Spencer asked.

"Why, of course each one would be facing each one of you. My master has ordered to kill any humans that enter the Digital World, not that any could from Earths that the master has conquered, but from ones he hasn't yet. You're a threat to my master and I will kill you human, but not directly. This is my game. Even if any of you survive somehow, I'll kill you myself." Beelzemon grinned.

Spencer snorted, 'We shall see about that belly brain.'

Greemon eyes bulged, and he held back his laughter, hearing what Spencer thought. Spencer realized it and sweat-dropped, turning to his opponent, which was Leormon.

"Let the gladiators begin! Evolve Strelones!" Beelzemon bellowed.

One by one, Elecmon; Leormon, and Bearmon all glowed light blue.

"ELECMON SHINKA!"
"... CENTARUMON!"

"LEORMON SHINKA!"
"... RAIAMON!"

"BEARMON SHINKA!"
"... GRIZZMON!"

"Worse." Zonemon whispered.

"Yeah. I can't evolve without Spencer's digivice. Talk about bad luck." Greemon whispered.

Beelzemon heard it and smiled in a mischief happy way. He thought that Spencer had his digivice for his copedam, but apparently he was wrong, and so it might be less exciting, but still interesting to watch and witness.

"I don't have that problem... Twi Shinka!" Zonemon yelled, turning transparent dark green.

"ZONEMON SHINKA!"
"... CENTERMON!"

"Showoff." Greemon muttered.

'I wish I really had my Meric Digivice.' Spencer thought helplessly.

'Really. It might be of some use for you against Raiamon in defending yourself.' Greemon agreed.

"I know both of them anyway." Greemon offered.

"Centarumon - Maturity Mythical Meric - Centarumon is modeled after the common centaur--half man, half horse. He's a close relative to Sagittarimon. The known Centarumon was once the guardian of the Digivice Temple, and after becoming a guardian, he became a copedam to one of the DigiDestined of America in the same Earth as the other DigiDestined - His attacks are: Solar Ray; Jet Gallop; Heat Uppercut."

"Raiamon - Maturity Mammal Jerebi - Raiamon already radiates the personality of a king. The surviving Raiamon were a little more than Leormon, and he has come to have an "illusionary" existence. He likes to catch prey that's strong than himself, and has been repeatedly witnessed challenging the unfaltering techniques of even migration codelimin - His attacks are: Critical Strike and Thunder of King."

"I don't like this, but I guess I'll have to face two codelimin a level higher than me, as if one isn't enough." Greemon decided, stepping in front of Spencer.

"Hey! I can handle myself." Spencer remarked.

Greemon glanced at Spencer, 'Really? Do you think you can handle Raiamon's Critical Strike? I know where he'll attack with that technique of his, and from what I know, believe me, it isn't pretty.'

Spencer paled, "O.K. Both are yours."

Grizzmon charged Centermon, as Centermon charged back. Both pounced into the air and met in midair, clenching onto each other. They fell to the ground, and Grizzmon was the one who fell on his back, with Centermon on top of him. Centermon instantly let go of Grizzmon, leaping away from him, with his paws hurting from the fall. Grizzmon growled as he got back up on his feet.

"To make matters worse, we can't free them without your digivice." Greemon realized.

"... What are you saying?" Spencer asked.

"... We might need to delete them Centermon." Greemon informed.

"You deal with your opponents your way and I'll deal with mine my way." Centermon stated.

"That means he won't delete Grizzmon... I wonder if there's another way of freeing them." Greemon muttered.

"There isn't little cub." Beelzemon remarked from his throne.

Greemon growled in his throat, staring at Raiamon and Centarumon. Raiamon was cautiously heading towards Greemon like a predator would do sneaking up behind a prey. Centarumon held his cannon aimed at Greemon and slowly walked towards him.

"This is going to be delightful." Raiamon muttered.

"Solar Ray!" Centarumon yelled.

"Acidic Beams!" Greemon retaliated.

One beam collided with Solar Ray, but Solar Ray went through it, continuing on its way towards Greemon and Spencer. The other beam headed towards Raiamon, who was extremely alert to it, and at the last moment dodged the beam skillfully. Noticing that both Greemon and Spencer dodged Centarumon's Solar Ray through leaping in opposite directions, Raiamon stopped, and decided to go after his opponent from the start, which was Spencer.

Noticing that Raiamon headed towards Spencer, Centarumon took Greemon and slowly walked towards him. Knowing that his disciple was in danger, and that there was nothing he could do about it, Greemon felt helpless, but as for himself, he wasn't going to give up easily. If by some way Spencer could hold off Raiamon while Greemon finds away around Centarumon back to Spencer, then Greemon would fight to do that.

"Jet Gallop!" Centarumon yelled, lowering his cannon.

He galloped towards Greemon, with sparks igniting with his hooves pounding onto the floor. Inches away from Greemon and Centarumon stopped, the light blue sparks leaping ahead and upwards, forming a circular light blue horizontal tornado, which was aimed at Greemon. The horizontal tornado released a strong ripping pulse towards Greemon. Greemon's eyes widened, noticing the strength behind such a technique.

"Spencer! I'm sorry!" Greemon yelled moments before the ripping reached him.

Spencer turned towards Greemon, while Raiamon stopped; noticing what was going to happen. Both Centermon and Grizzmon also stopped, watching. Beelzemon smiled, witnessing it all. The ripping pulse went through Greemon and Greemon held his mouth agape. The ripping pulse passed away, and slowly Greemon's digital body showed cracks spreading rapidly. Spencer slowly got up onto his feet, just as Greemon's body burst into data.

"NO!" Spencer wailed.

"That's one down." Beelzemon nodded.

Spencer clenched his hands tightly, and glared at Centarumon. Without realizing it or knowing what hit him, Centarumon was suddenly lying on his side in pain like he fell on his side. Beelzemon alarmingly stood up. Greemon's silver data headed towards Spencer and Spencer spread his arms wide, while he closed his eyes, raising his head, absorbing the silver data. Beelzemon noticed light blue dead data remaining, and he grinned.

"It'll do. Raiamon isn't Leomon, but it'll still do." Beelzemon decided.

The light blue dead data soared towards Raiamon as he glowed light blue. Raiamon absorbed the dead light blue data, while he was glowing, and at the same time, Spencer turned transparent silver.

"RAIAMON SHINKA!"
"... LEOGRAMON!"

"GRALEN ELECTION!"
"... GRASLMON!"

"What?" Graslmon asked.

Graslmon gasped, noticing that he was really Graslmon.

"But how is this possible? I even have his memories and feelings. Amazing." Graslmon muttered.

"This isn't acceptable. Finish them Leogramon! On the double!" Beelzemon ordered.

"With pleasure. Tooth Missile!" Leogramon yelled.

Graslmon quickly took his knife and sword, ready to defend himself.

'Even only I could...' Graslmon thought.

Shockingly, the Tooth Missile slammed into the ground in front of Graslmon, when it was originally aimed at Graslmon. Beelzemon roared.

"You missed you brat!" Beelzemon bellowed.

"I didn't! I had it aimed square at Graslmon! There's no way I could've missed." Leogramon remarked.

Stunned for a moment, Graslmon recovered and grinned.

"Leogramon - Migration Nature Grasl - Leogramon is the result of the combined form of Graslmon and any lion like codelimin like Leomon or Raiamon. This codelimin is huge and slow, but his techniques are deadly and fatal, as they could take on dozens of numerous codelimin. His attacks are: Venom Wave; Tooth Missile; Venom Teeth."

[Leogramon stood at 25 feet high. His body was totally green grass, except for his face, which was one of a lion's. He had five fingers and toes that indicated that he had arms and legs; hands and feet. Two green saber teeth came from Leogramon's upper jaw.

"Time for a little revenge. Gralen Blades!" Graslmon yelled.

The attack slammed into Leogramon but didn't effect him in anyway. Graslmon wasn't surprised, but Leogramon was mocked. Graslmon sensed that there wasn't any poison in his body at all. Graslmon realized that even though he didn't have his digivice with him, there was still a way to free at least Centarumon and Grizzmon. With an idea in mind, Graslmon turned to Centarumon and his crossed his blades together in front of him, aimed at the still lying Centarumon.

"Defender's Rage!" Graslmon yelled

What was similar to his Gralen Blades technique, the only difference was that the crest of Gralen was launched out of the blades with stronger ferocity towards Centarumon.

"Atom Center!" Centermon yelled.

Centermon could've attacked with his force and would've deleted Grizzmon, but he only wanted to gain some time, and that's what he got, as Centermon's attack blasted Grizzmon away onto its back out cold. He understood what Graslmon was doing and hoped it would work. Just as he started running towards Centarumon, Graslmon's attack blasted into Centarumon, and Beelzemon's eyes went wide.

The dust cleared and Elecmon was in Centarumon's place, with no light blue mist above his head. Beelzemon slammed his fists into the ground, glaring at Graslmon, just as Graslmon grinned back in triumph. Leogramon walked over towards Graslmon, but small and agile as he was, Graslmon easily avoided Leogramon and continued on his way towards the unconscious free Elecmon. Grizzmon regained conscious and quickly understood what happened.

He hurriedly got back to his feet and charged towards Elecmon.

"No! G Boomerang!" Graslmon yelled.

"Atom Strike!" Centermon yelled.

Grizzmon saw the sword spiraling towards him, and he quickly jumped over it avoiding it, but he didn't notice Centermon's Atom Strike as it collided into him, blasting him away.

"You all die now! Venom Wave!" Leogramon yelled.

Graslmon hastily caught his sword as it returned to him and slid into the ground, lying on his stomach, just as Centermon stopped and lowered himself. Once he realized that the attack would still reach him, he turned transparent dark green and devolved back into Zonemon, quickly jumping down onto his stomach, and crawling towards Elecmon, just as Graslmon did the same. The wave passed over Elecmon; Graslmon, and Zonemon, but the guards weren't so lucky.

The Boogeymon guards knelt down onto their knees, dropping their tridents and clenching their stomachs in agony. Graslmon reached Elecmon, still on his stomach, just as Zonemon reached him at the same time. Beelzemon sat down in his throne and watched was happening. He knew he couldn't do anything, and it was better to just watch because even though the shockwave of the attack was over, venom still was in the air.

Both Graslmon and Zonemon grabbed hold onto Elecmon, with one of Elecmon's paws in each of their hand or paw. With that, they crawled towards the nearest closed tunnel. They passed the two Boogeymon guards, and the guards didn't do anything as they were too much in agony to stop them.

"It won't open on its own." Zonemon stated.

"What are we going to do now? We're so close to freedom." Graslmon remarked.

"I have an idea." Zonemon grinned, letting go of Elecmon.

Graslmon still held onto Elecmon, but he watch Zonemon as he crawled to the closed gate, until he barely was touching it.

"Power Spin!" Zonemon yelled.

While still on his stomach, Zonemon spun around himself fast like lightning, digging into the ground and spraying some dirt at Graslmon and Elecmon. Suddenly, Zonemon released himself at the gate and with a loud explosion, went through it. Graslmon was shocked, but did argue as he crawled towards the hole. Zonemon's paw appeared from the other side.

"Give Elecmon to me and then you'll come through. There is only enough room for one person." Zonemon's voice informed.

Graslmon pulled Elecmon pass him, and then pushed him into the hole. Zonemon took hold of one of Elecmon's paws and dragged him all the way through. With Elecmon through, Graslmon hastily crawled through the hole. Once at the other side, Graslmon quickly got back to his feet, noticing that it was a lot darker and at the other side of the tunnel was thick, but passable vegetation.

He glanced back at the hole, well aware that if he was human he wouldn't have been able to pass through it, yet he did as Graslmon and he was glad for that. Free from the coliseum, Zonemon and Graslmon rushed out of the tunnel and into the thick foliage. Zonemon was carrying Elecmon and Graslmon stopped momentarily at the exit of the tunnel, noticing some panther staring at him. The panther moved its mouth, but Graslmon realized that he was too far away to hear it.

Moments later and the panther leaped out of sight.

"Let's go Graslmon! Or is it Spencer?" Zonemon inquired.

Graslmon smiled, turning towards Zonemon and shrugged. He rushed towards Zonemon and both took off out of sight from the coliseum.

"We don't know where we are, so it'll take time to get back to the others." Zonemon informed.

"Their copedam sensed my copedam's death." Graslmon remarked.

Zonemon shook his head, "Not this soon. In the next couple of days and they'll sense it, but not right away."

To be continued...

Fandom Digimon of mine:

1. Zonemon - 2. Leogramon

Author's Notes: Well, the shortest episode so far. The information I put down for Leormon; Raiamon, and from some other canon Digimon isn't my own words, as it's from a Digimon fan site, so I don't claim it. The fastest episode I've written so far, being written down in less than a day. Yippy! By the way, this episode didn't exactly go as planned and there were some events that just popped in my head while I was writing and I wrote it down as part of the episode. Thanks to some of the events, I have some new ideas to have to the storyline of this story. This is getting more and more exciting. Until the next episode, read and review. Remia!
