Chapter 11

Gaia Force Zero

Tai and Sora sped off full speed seeing Apocalymon gaining on them. Tai noticed Sora looking very exhausted. He could not blame her. They had been running for several hours. Apocalymon did not seem to be tired of chasing them. Apocalymon used his sword to block the duo's path. Tai and Sora took another route. Luck was not on their side. Apocalymon's next attack managed to injure Sora. The girl lost conciousness. Tai carried on his back and found he could not run as fast due to the weight on his back. Then his digivice started to beep. Taking a glimpse on it, he smiled. Izzy was on his way and he brought Koromon.

"Looks like I should run a bit longer till they get here."

But, as I said before, luck was not on Tai's side. Apocalymon managed to catch up with the digidestined of courage. The evil digimon thrust his sword and it pierced Tai's right shoulder. Tai howled in pain and fell on the ground clutching his shoulders. The unconscious Sora was dropped and rolled into the nearby river. Tai tried to get to Sora but was blocked by Apocalymon. Tai watched on as Sora was drifted by the strong currents to the nearby waterfall.

"SORA!!!!"

The trio and Koromon heard the scream. Izzy looked at his laptop remembering he had tracked Tai. He was nearby. They were running at top speed when Ryo saw a body floating in the river. He went to pick the person up. They recognized it was Sora. Sora awoke and looked around her. Then realizing someone was missing.

"Where's Tai?"

"He is nearby. We're going to get him."

"We must hurry up! Apocalymon is there with him."

The foursome with Koromon hurried off. Again they were being watched by two digimons.

"Looks like it is time."

"For what?"

"For Courage to reach the next level."

"how?"

"The crestrock does not only cure the disease but increases a 'selected' digimon's power."

"Selected?"

"Only a few digimon will gain this honour from the crestrock."

"Who would make such a thing?"

"The Sovereigns of course, with the help of Gennai."

"Speaking of Gennai where is he?"

"He is still at the Eastern Quadrant. Let's go. We have seen enough."

"This is not like you."

"What do you mean?"

"You would always want to help them."

"They seem to be doing alright on their own."

Then Azulongmon appeared before them.

"I have a task for the both of you."

"What is it?"

"I need you get 'it' from 'you-know-where'."

"Isn't it too early?"

"Looks like we need to hasten our plans. The chosens have forgotten about it except one."

"We will get it then."

"Please hurry, Alphamon and Beelzemon."

The knight and demon lord vanished. Azulongmon sighed and then somebody talked to him telepathically.

"You know.. you almost forgot about it too."

"Yeah…I know. Can't deny that."

"The orb will be useful to them."

"You seem to know more about the situation than I do, Davis."

"Surprising isn't it but I will tell you in due time and frankly, Azulongmon, I would prefer to be petrified as I have not tell the chosens what they will be facing."

"They should be able to handle themselves and Davis… Kari still needs you for guidance to know who she really is."

" I know… I hope Kari can go on without me with her."

"Davis…. Kari is stronger than she looks."

"Heh. You don't know her as well as I do, Azulongmon. Nobody understands Kari better than me."

Ok that's the end of Azulongmon's conversation with Davis and back to the story.

Apocalymon playfully uses his sword and missed Tai on purpose. Tai knew his nemesis was enjoying tormenting him but the evil digimon that his desire to humiliate the weilder of courage would be his downfall. The he saw his friends at the opposite of the river. He knew instantly what to do. He took out the crestrock in his pocket and threw it to his friends with all his might. Izzy caught it and the crestrock glowed instantly. The three boys noticed the green spots on them are gone and then the boys and Sora noticed Koromon glowing and then when it the glowing stopped, Koromon seemed a bit different and seemed to be covered with some kind of armour. Apocalymon seemed to recognized it.

"No it can't be…from the crestrock. Curse you, Tai Kamiya."

"Curse yourself for playing with your food. Koromon, TIME TO WARP-DIGIVOLVE."

X Digivolution

KOROMON WARP-X-DIGIVOLVE TOOOO

WARGREYMON X

Tai was amazed by how WarGreymon X looks like. His armour was amazing and his claws are sharper and his shield was tougher. Apocalymon was angered indeed. Izzy was stunned by how different WarGreymon was.

"What happened?" It was Apocalymon who answered.

"It is the crestrock. Other than curing rare diseases, it can give a special power to a few selected digimons. That power is the X-Antibody. It enpowers a digimon and its power will be stretched to the maximum. Damn you, chosen ones and it still has the X-Antibody inside it. I can sense it. It can give the X-Antibody to another three digimons."

Tai had enough of the speech.

"WarGreymon X finish that guy off."

"With pleasure, Tai." He gathers water from the river and made it into a huge ball.

"POSEIDON FORCE!!!"

The attack hit Apocalymon straight on. Apocalymon advanced on the metal dino and thus started the close combat battling. After several minutes of battle, it seemed that Apocalymon was overpowered by the improved mega. Apocalymon smirked.

"looks like I should change to my real form."

The five chosens and WarGreymon X gasped and knew what he referring to. WarGreymon X faced the chosens.

"Run! I'll hold him off." Tai was pissed off.

"No! I will stay with you."

"No, I can't beat him in his true form. I need to create a distraction that's all."

"Ok. At least you know what you're doing partner."

"Go on, I'll catch up."

While the five chosens run for it, WarGreymon collected a huge amount of the earth's energy. He smiled.

"GAIA FORCE ZERO!!!"

Instead of aiming for Apocalymon the attack hit the ground and created a strong shock wave. WarGreymon X took the time to escape leaving the outsmarted Apocalymon stunned. The evil digimon regained his compusure later.

"Impressive, WarGreymon. You are really fit to be my greatest nemesis."

The five chosens rested for awhile with WarGreymon X guarding them. Izzy snapped at them for relaxing. He reminded them the rest are still sick and have less than a couple days to leave. The rest hurriedly got up and the five chosens, the dino warrior flying over them, hurry to meet up with the rest.

Hours left before die from sickness: 36
