Chapter Six
The New Ultimates
"Fools! Incompetents!" Ghoulmon raged.
The others all shrunk away from his rage.
"I ask you to do one simple thing: kill the Digidestined! Have any of you succeeded? NO!"
"They keep digivolving! You were meant to be able to stop them! And how have their crest returned?" Gryphonmon demanded.
"How should I know!? But as usual, its all my fault! I should have realised! Right, stay here the lot of you and I will go and deal with them myself!"
With that, Ghoulmon flew out of the Mountain.
"What's the betting he comes back empty handed?" Ebemon asked.

Ken and Yolei were walking through Great Canyon, trying to find a way to get back up so they could try and find the others.
"I wonder who brought us here?" Yolei asked.
"Probably the sovereigns. Whatever use they are." Ken said.
Yolei sighed.
"What are we going to do about Kari and the others?"
Ken shrugged.
"Don't know. They'll sort it out."
"I hope so. Because if they don't we could all be in trouble."
Ken watched her as she proceeded onwards. He wondered if he should just come out and say what he felt. Probably not the best of times.
At that moment, Hawkmon fluttered back down from above.
"There's a path that leads up towards the surface. We can use that to get out of here."
The little bird led them onwards, while Wormmon brought up the rear.
"Ken, I don't like long climbs. Why cant we digivolve?" he asked.
"Because Ghoulmon will know where to find us. And we don't want that." Ken said.
So they started their long climb up. It was long, hard and thirsty work, as the sun beat down on them and the wind took their breath from them as they slowly ascended the steep path leading up to the normal level.
On the way up, Ken was stuck at the back of the group, to catch anyone if they fell. It also gave him a good opportunity to admire Yolei.
Eventually they got to the top of the canyon after an hour long climb. The four of them slumped against the rock for a rest.
"That's one way to keep fit." Hawkmon said.
"Let's not do it again though." Wormmon moaned.
Ken looked up into the blue sky. Somewhere out there, the Covenant was getting stronger, and most likely hunting for the Digidestined. They couldn't afford to linger.
"Come on, we need to get a move on." He said.
"Do we have to? Cant we just sit here for a while?" Yolei asked.
"Yolei, I would love to sit down and have a rest. But we cant. Ghoulmon and company are getting stronger. We need to find a way to get to the others and stop him before he kills us all."
"Oh alright. We're coming."
So they set off, looking for some way out of Great Canyon. They walked past the remains of an old shop and a toilet, just when Yolei's Digivice started to react.
"Huh?" she asked, taking it off.
"One of the others?" Hawkmon asked.
"I don't think so. Might be something else." Yolei said, heading for the shop.
"Hey! Are you mad? It could be a trap."
And with that, he led the way into the shop. Facing them was a very strange looking sign. It was a hand, with swirls on the fingers and on the palm.
"What's that?" Yolei asked.
"Haven't the foggiest." Hawkmon said.
"I think it's a crest." Wormmon said.
"A crest? Who for?" Yolei asked.
"Well, its for you obviously. I've got mine and it set your Digivice off." Ken said, looking out of the shop, thinking he heard a noise.
Yolei touched it, and it suddenly glowed a pale blue, almost cyan and transformed itself into a tag and hung itself around Yolei's neck.
"What's the crest for?" Yolei asked.
"Don't you listen to the others? They used to use their crests to let their Digimon evolve to Ultimate." Hawkmon said.
"I think we should get out of here." Ken said, sounding worried.
The other three however were fare more interested in the crest.
"What's the crest of?" she asked in confusion.
"Let me see it." Wormmon said.
He put on a pair of glasses and looked at it.
"Your age?"
"Sixteen."
"Thank you. Right divide by three, carry the one times by her age which is sixteen also, divide by his age which is seventeen, take the number of his forms which is seven and then add the number of letters in the name which is five thus equalling a stupidly large number which lowers to three and a bit, thus making it the Crest of Compassion."
"How on earth did you figure that out?" Ken asked in amazement, distracted from what was bothering him.
"Skill." Wormmon said happily.
"Can we go now?" Ken asked, still worried.
The four walked out of the old shop, and just turned the corner to cross the bridge into the Overdell when Ghoulmon thudded down from the sky.
"Ah!" Yolei screamed.
"Get behind me!" Ken snapped, as the two Digimon rushed forwards.
"Digidestined. Your road ends here!" he snarled, his eye glowing brightly.
"Tri-Eye Attack!"
Ken dragged Yolei to the ground while the Digimon leapt out of the way.
"Why don't enemies stand still when you kill them anymore?" Ghoulmon asked.
"Eye Blow!"
A green laser beam shout out of his centre ye and nearly cooked Wormmon.
"That's it!" Wormmon said as he quenched the fire.
"Hawkmon digivolve to…Aquillamon!"
"Wormmon digivolve to…Stingmon!"
The massive bird and bug glared at their lumpy, nightmare opponent, while the two kids retreated to the shop door.
"Two Champions cant face off one Mega!" Yolei exclaimed.
"Spiking Strike!"
"Blast Rings!"
The two attacks crashed into the massive grey lump, but he just laughed.
"Death Arrow!"
He formed an arrow with his fingers, quite like what Angewomon did, and fired a black arrow straight into Stingmon's chest. Stingmon gave a cry of pain and twirled backward and then crashed to the ground.
"Stingmon!" Ken yelled as he rushed to his friend.
Aquillamon was on his own.
"Grand Horn!"
The large bird dove at Ghoulmon, who promptly grabbed him from the sky and threw him into the wall.
"Aquillamon!"
Ghoulmon then slammed into Aquillamon, who moaned in pain, and then pecked at Ghoulmon.
"Pathetic weakling! You're not worth my time!"
He grabbed Aquillamon again and threw him down to the bottom of the canyon, crashing into rocks as he fell to the bottom.
"No!" Yolei cried, but Ken stopped her from going after him and forced her behind him.
Ghoulmon swiped down, and knocked Ken off his feet and crashing into the wall.
"Ken! Are you alright?" Yolei demanded in panic as he struggled to get up.
"We've had it." Ken said as Ghoulmon flew at them.
"Time to bring an end to the Digidestined!"
He raised his finger to let loose another Death Arrow, and Ken stood in front of Yolei. Then a purple light crashed into Ghoulmon.
"Oh no!" Ghoulmon said.
Stingmon heaved himself back to his feet.
"Good work Ken, you activated the crest. Now lets see how he likes it!"
"Stingmon digivolve to…Dinobeemon!"
In Stingmon's place was a massive creature that had Stingmon's body, head and legs, massive silver wings, and the tail and ears of ExVeemon.
"He digivolved!" Yolei exclaimed.
"But how does he have part of Veemon in him?"
They never got a chance to find out as he flew right into Ghoulmon and knocked the other Digimon flying.
Dinobeemon landed in front of them.
"You look good." Ken said in awe.
"Thanks! To answer your question, Veemon and I have DNAed so many times, some of his DNA is part of me."
"Still cool though." Yolei said.
Dinobeemon: An Ultimate level Digimon with a reckless attitude and a desire to do battle. He has an Irritant Buzz attack that drives his enemies mad, and his Speed Slashes will leave the enemy in bits.
"Look out!" Aquillamon yelled as he flew up from the canyon.
Ghoulmon crashed into Dinobeemon, and sent him skidding along the rocky surface, as Aquillamon attacked again.
"Is he alright?" Yolei asked.
"He will be." Ken said certainly.
Dinobeemon then leapt up and flew at Ghoulmon. However, it was no use. Even with another Ultimate, they were still no match for Ghoulmon.
"Hold him off. Distract him, and they can get out of here." Dinobeemon shouted.
"No! We wont leave without you!" Ken yelled.
"Grand Horn!"
Ghoulmon laughed.
"Death Arrow!"
The black arrow caught the massive bird straight in the chest. With a piteous moan, he slumped to the ground in pain.
"Aquillamon no!" Yolei said, running towards her companion.
Dinobeemon tackled Ghoulmon, who just laughed. The evil Digimon was much larger and stronger than poor Dinobeemon.
"Ken, run!"
He couldn't. not when Dinobeemon might be killed, and when Yolei was still in the firing line.
"Please get up Aquillamon, I know it hurts, but we need you!" she implored the bird.
"Well done Yolei."
Her crest then burst to life.
"Your compassion has awakened your crest. It makes me strong again." Aquillamon said happily.
"That's handy."
The blue light then surrounded them all.
"Aquillamon digivolve to…Osirismon!"
Gone was Aquillamon. In his place was a massive, man bird creature, a man with a falcon's head. Wings augmented his strong arms, and a headdress surrounded his feathered head.
"I am Osirismon!"
Osirismon: An ancient Ultimate level Digimon. The Guardian of the Winds, he is not one to be trifled with, and his Falcon Destroyer unleashes a massive sand bird that buries all in its path.
"Impressive. Most impressive." Dinobeemon commented.
Ghoulmon cackled.
"You think evolving to the next level will help you! Fools! Eye Blow!"
Osirismon rolled his eyes, and then poked Ghoulmon in the eye.
"Ouch!"
"Ready Dinobeemon?"
"As ready as I'm going to get! Irritant Buzz!"
Flying around in a circle several time, he made Ghoulmon clutch his head in pain.
"Ah, stop it!"
"Egypt Wind!"
Osirismon conjured a massive sandy tornado and then threw it into Ghoulmon, who was knocked back towards the edge of the canyon.
"Speed Slashes!"
Dinobeemon flew across Ghoulmon several times, cutting long thin scars all over his body.
"AHH!"
Osirismon then glared at his enemy.
"Falcon Destroyer!"
A massive bird made entirely of sand was conjured as Osirismon flapped his arms. The bird gave a screech and then flew straight at Ghoulmon. The massive bird slammed into him, knocking him off balance and throwing him into the canyon below.
"NOO!"
Osirismon then grabbed Yolei and leapt high into the sky, as Dinobeemon picked up Ken and flew away from Great Canyon. They heard the satisfying crunch as Ghoulmon toppled to the bottom of the canyon.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They arrived in Tropical Forest ten minutes later. Once there, the Digimon reverted back to Minomon and Poromon.
"You were wonderful!" Yolei cried as she hugged Poromon.
"Thank you!" Poromon squeaked in a muffled voice.
"You were cool too Minomon." Ken said as he picked up his friend.
"Yeah, I know."
"What now?" Yolei asked.
"We get out of here before Ghoulmon gets out of the canyon and try to find the others."
They had just began walking when they heard an almighty roar, and looked up to see Ghoulmon flying back to Infinity Mountain in a rage.
"And then we'll stop him." Yolei added.
So now Wormmon and Hawkmon can reach Ultimate. Dinobeemon is on the Digimon Wiki, if you're interested. And Osirismon looks like the Egyptian Titan in Age of Mythology.
So, now that that chapter's finished, who will be next to digivolve? Why are the crests returning? Will the gang be able to stop the Covenant? You'll have to wait to find out.
So, until then, please read and review!
