Digital Team in Special World
Takato: I knew it.
Guilmon: Knew what?
Takato: That we will be invited in this.
Lunar: It's better than having Rika here.
Takato: There I'll have to agree with you.
Rika: (from a distance) I heard that gogglehead!
Takato: (gulps) ummm... can we hurry up...
Lunar: Sure. Say the disclaimer.
Takato: Whoever who thinks Digimon and Pokémon is owned by anyone in this website is either completely silly or very naive. Title: Chapter 9: The Tough, the Knight, and the Combo
Everyone: Back to the story! Chapter Start
(Plane of the Sovereigns, Outside Zhuqiaomon's palace, Morning)
"This place sure is big." Diamond said while biting on something.
"What are you biting on, Dia?" Pearl asked hungrily. Hearing this everyone collapsed (except Dia) from hunger.
"Pearl, rule one, remember?" Tai said.
"Biting is not related to our stomachs." Pearl said.
"What do you usually bite on Pearl? Isn't it food? Isn't food related to our stomachs?" Blue asked.
"Don't make me hungrier." Pearl moaned. "Seeing Diamond bite on something makes me feel faint already."
"Can you please answer Pearl's question, Dia?" Ken groaned.
"The berries stocked up under Beh's fur." Diamond answered with a goofy smile on his face.
"I think I got enough berries to last me a lifetime!" Beh answered while taking a handful of berries from his body and munching on it.
"Stop torturing us!" Gold said. "It's enough to cause us grief."
"Exactly!" Pearl said, while pulling out a paper fan and hitting Dia on the backside of his head. "You better be able to do Manzai!"
"Speaking of Pokémon..." Pearl began.
"Can't ya shut up?" Impmon said.
"Why the heck did you interrupt us?" Pearl asked angrily.
"Well that will be because we're not really welcome in this area." Impmon said.
"Not welcome?" Lady Berlitz said.
"Did you even hear how that fire bird talked about us when we arrived?" Impmon said.
"He talked like we are inferior to him." Green answered.
"Now that's rude." Pearl said.
"He can destroy us if he wanted to." Lopmon said. "We only survived because we caught Zhuqiaomon off-guard and Azulongmon helped us."
"Harsh." Sapphire said.
"Well we are supposed to be going to the North now, right?" Red said.
"We have to report to the Sovereign, first." Leomon said. "We don't want to treat him like an unimportant guardian of the Digital World. And I think going straight to Lord Ebonwumon when we could go to him first is very disrespectful"
"One question, Is he even here?" Diamond remarked putting something new into his mouth.
"Maybe not. But we have to check, right?" Takato said, taking a few berries from Dia's palm and popping a few into his mouth and gave the rest to Guilmon. With permission, of course "Thank you."
"I guess so." Dia said, popping another berry into his mouth.
"Man, what do we do?" Kazu asked frantically. "If we go in, we might as well have one foot in the grave. If we don't go in, we will disrespect him!"
"Let's just enter, Kazu." Kenta said. They all entered the palace.
"My sovereign, please, hear my humble request!" Lopmon said. The door flung open.
"Good thing he still hasn't changed the password to his door." Henry's Terriermon remarked.
"What a password." Kazu remarked.
"We came calling, Turkey!" Henry's Terriermon told the giant flame.
"Who are you calling 'turkey', rabbit?" Zhuqiaomon dispelled the flames around his body.
"I'm a lop-eared dog, not a rabbit!" Henry's Terriermon shouted.
"You came, children." Zhuqiaomon, ignoring the cream dog's protest.
"Well, we do not wish to disrespect you by heading straight to the North." Leomon said, bowing.
"Well, at least you did learn respect, unlike one certain bunny over there." Zhuqiaomon said, glaring at the one who called him 'turkey'.
"I almost thought he meant Lopmon." Henry sweat-dropped, ignoring his Terriermon's protests.
"Which Lopmon?" Emerald asked.
"Obviously Suzie's." Willis said.
"What does Suzie's Lopmon have to do with that Digimon version of Ho-oh?" Gold asked.
"You won't catch me in those silly 'Poké balls'." Zhuqiaomon glared at Gold. "I am not so dishonored as to allow humans to control ME." causing Gold to falter a bit.
"Lopmon was one of his former Devas. But when she (Yes, Suzie's Lopmon is a girl in this fic.) became Suzie's partner, Zhuqiaomon considered her a traitor." Henry said
"Chosen, I thank you of your respect but please be on your way. The only thing I wish to tell you is something that I also wish to be heard by my brothers." Zhuqiaomon said
"I thank you, my lord." Lopmon said. Everyone left the Castle.
"Whoa, at least we lived." Kenta remarked.
"Let's hurry already." Pearl said.
"Shut it!" Impmon said. They hopped on the moving platform.
"This is such a weird place." Gold said, looking down the falls. "It's endless!"
"That is the 'Pit of No Return'." Lopmon said.
"Whoa, ruined floors." Gary remarked. "What happened here?"
"The clash between Gallantmon and Beelzemon happened here." answered Rika.
"Beelzemon? Isn't he the mega level of Impmon?" Dawn asked.
"He's good now, right Impmon?" Mako asked his partner.
"Yeah..." Impmon said.
"Leomon, this is the place where you were mmpphhh..." Kazu began but was muffled by Lopmon's ears.
"Let's not dwell on the past. We should focus on the present." Lopmon said. Suddenly a beam of light shot out of nowhere and just as suddenly, a strong inferno burst around them.
"What's with the flames?" Ruby asked.
"Are the little digis very unhappy because they haven't a wee bit of something in their tummies called FOOD?" A cold voice said, catching everyone off-guard.
"My stomach." groaned Ryo. "I got too used to eating 3 meals-a-day."
"He, you humans starves without food in your wee little tummies. And so do your partners." A dark figure said.
"I know that maniacal laugh..." TK said.
"So dark... The Darkness..." Kari shuddered, holding her head.
"This darkness is too dark." Kouichi said. "But don't treat darkness like a bad thing, OK?"
"Maybe you should start calling yourself the warrior of Shadow instead because our team is pretty edgy at the term 'Darkness'." TK said, still crouching like the rest of the hungry children.
"Everyone..." Takato said. "Diamond, looks like we are the only combatants left among us all."
"I have to fight again?" Dia sighed. "I thought my battling days were over since Team Galactic." Diamond took out his Battle Diary. "Ummm... who is our opponent?"
"Guilmon, scan!" Takato said while looking at the Digimon Point of View mode.
"You don't even need to do that," Davis said. He was sitting up. Ken is also sitting up.
"We know full well who that is." Ken said.
"We sealed him a long time ago." Davis said.
"We remember that aura completely." Ken said, helping Davis and Veemon stand up. Wormmon rolled over.
"Wait a minute, aren't you hungry?" the dark voice said, making the ones who are still crouching lower down in pain.
"Nope!" Veemon answered.
"We thought you were trapped in the Dark Ocean forever..." Wormmon said.
"DAEMON!" shouted the two pairs of Digidestined and Digimon.
"You are perceptive, despite the dark mist around me. As I expected of the ones who blocked my attack and sent me to a world where escape is hard to get, but with this device I created, I could send things to any random world. And no one's going to stop me!" An uncloaked Daemon said, appearing from the mist.
"Well, we are going to stop you! Biomerge Activate!" Takato yelled.
"Guilmon Biomerge to... Gallantmon!"
"Veemon digivolve to... Exveemon!"
"Wormmon digivolve to... Stingmon!"
"DNA digivolve to... Paildramon!"
"Paildramon Mega-digivolve to... Imperialdramon!"
"Imperialdramon mode change to... Fighter mode!"
"Go everyone!" Dia said, calling forth Beh, Roo, Lee, Pooh, and Moo (Is Diamond too lazy to give them complex names?).
"Another Mamoswine..." Dawn said. "Mamoswine spotlight!" Calling forth her own Mamoswine. Then she fainted from hunger.
"Wah! Everyone!" Dia said, frantically looking at the rest. They all fainted from heat also made them feel a bit drowsy. The smoke caused by the flames started to invade their lungs and caused them to be suffocated which increased the effect of the hunger they felt.
"We'll take care of them later." Gallantmon said. "Have some of your Pokémon put them on one side so that they will not get in the way."
"Moo, Mamoswine, put everyone on one side then put an Ice barrier around them. Beh, put some berries beside them, Roo use Stealth Rock and Lee, take the rocks Roo made and put it as the final block. But everyone, make sure they can breathe." Diamond ordered. Dawn's Mamoswine followed Diamond's orders because it was for his master. Soon everyone is blocked tightly.
"The heat of the rocks should melt the ice slowly plus Daemon uses fire attacks which will be bound to heat up this place. They will be bound to wake up if they are soaked." Davis said. "We'll just have to stall time and hope they will wake up. Go Everyone!" Soon a battle emerged; the two sides hit each other, neither backing down from the fight.
Imperialdramon started the battle by a positron laser. But Daemon dodged it with ease. Then he fired an Evil Inferno at the digis. But Diamond's team, being a team powerful at defending, was ready for that. Moo and Mamoswine instantly threw an Ice Shard at the flames while the rest threw boulders at the flames to block it. Roo helped in the attack by hitting his Razor leaf directly on Daemon's chest which made him falter at the Evil Inferno attack and giving Gallantmon enough time to attack relentlessly at Daemon. Blow after blow, jab after jab, Gallantmon suddenly fired a close range Lightning Joust at Daemon and damaged him significantly. Then Imperialdramon had a go too. He fired menacingly his Positron Laser at the Daemon and was able to hit Daemon square in the chest causing Daemon to retreat from the Battle Zone but Roo was on the mark and fired his single-razor leaf attack at Daemon which causes Daemon to be hit by the speedy projectile which came from the slow tortoise. Then Daemon chuckled to himself, cursing himself for underestimating his opponents.
"You four humans and their partners, I underestimated you. You are powerful." Daemon said.
"Daemon, we are not the same Imperialdramon you almost beat back then." Imperialdramon said.
"We, Gallantmon, won't let you touch our friends!" Gallantmon said.
"My team represents the diamond. Tough in their defense. Which means our endurance is first class." Diamond remarked.
"I still have a question remaining unanswered. How were you able to resist the word food?" Daemon asked.
"Simple, in this world, if you think you're not hungry, and then you're not hungry." Ken said. "I had thought about it, but I forgot to tell everyone about it. How did you remain not hungry, Davis?"
"I just got so angry at hearing that maniacal voice that I forgot I was hungry." Davis said. "But now that I think about it, I'm not hungry at all! I'm perfectly fine, thanks to your advice, Ken."
"I see, sayonara, humans and their partners." Daemon said while holding the transportation device. "I'll take my leave now."
"Wait!" Davis yelled after him.
"Positron Laser!" Imperialdramon fired a laser. But he was too late. A beam of darkness hit Daemon and he vanished into thin air.
"Drat it!" Davis yelled, punching the floor till his fist was red. And suddenly the Fortress exploded.
"Wah!" Dia said. "Everyone..." But it turns out that the ones who actually blew up the fortress were the ones inside.
"That place was super stuffy, Dia!" Pearl hit him in the face.
"So is everyone OK now?" Davis asked.
"Yes." Lady Berlitz answered. "What happened here? This place is more ruined than before."
"Daemon was a tough opponent but we managed to come through." Dia rubbed his face.
"Too bad though, Daemon got away." Davis said.
"But we do know one thing; Daemon was the one responsible for our being warped around. Though I wonder why he was hit by a beam of darkness instead of light..." Ken said.
"That's the only good thing you guys got?" Izzy said.
"And to answer your question, Ken, maybe it was because he was inside the Dark Ocean at the time. The colors in the Dark Ocean turns white into black for example, there is a lighthouse in the Dark Ocean, but instead of white light shining, it was black. The light's color must have reverted and caused us to see white light instead black darkness."
"Man, everyone, you're all scorched all over your body! Even the two Mamoswines!" Joe yelped, taking out his First Aid kit from his bag. (He had his bag all this time)
"I'll be sure to help!" Brock said, taking out his Pokémon treating items out of his bag.
"Well, well, well, two reliable ones in one whole group!" TK laughed. Then he got serious. "Davis your arm..."
"It just got grazed by that Inferno attack, no biggie." Davis said.
"Burns can be very dangerous, Davis." Kari said, lightly tapping the burned part, which caused Davis to yelp in pain.
"Man, that was one heck of a battle, eh Minomon?" Asked a small blue imp.
"Indeed it was, DemiVeemon." answered the Chrysalis-like Digimon.
"I'd have to agree with you, I never had to fight that much since I helped the Lady in Gym Battles and fighting against Team Galactic." Beh remarked.
"Yeah." Roo said.
"Well shouldn't we head to the North already?" said the bandaged Davis.
"You can't possibly go to the North while you are still fresh from a battle." Joe remarked.
"We'll rest up at Ebonwumon's castle. Minomon, think that you are still full of energy." Ken said.
"OK! Minomon digivolve to... Wormmon digivolve to... Stingmon!"
"Me too! DemiVeemon digivolve to... Veemon Friendship armor digivolve to... Raidramon!"
"We'll manage! Digimodify, Hyper speed and Hyper Wings activate!" Takato slashed his two cards. Then he climbed on top of Guilmon.
"If we rest now, who knows who we might encounter? The Lady will be safer inside Ebonwumon's castle rather than here." Dia clambered on Raidramon.
"If you have time to think about me, think about yourself." Lady Berlitz said, pitying the bandaged up form of Dia. "You are no longer my bodyguards, yet you continue to protect me."
"Who cares about that?" Dia said. "I will endure my tiredness till we arrive at Ebonwumon's castle.
"WE care, Dia. If you continue, you will be too weak to even hold on to Raidramon." Pearl said.
"I'll be as tough and stubborn as my name, Pearl." Diamond smiled.
"You are in no shape to do anything right now." Joe said.
"If you're not going to move, we're going to go ahead of you." Ken said, holding on to Stingmon and soon the two flew away from the group.
"We will persevere to the end." Davis smiled. "Let's go, Raidramon, Dia. It would also be better if we leave as we may be attacked by Daemon at a stronger power. If that happens, we won't be able to fight him equally like what happened now." The others knew this was true but they still think that they rest.
"You've been resting the whole battle." Dia told the others. "Go back in, everyone." Dia said holding out his team's Poké Balls. Then Raidramon ran off, as though he was chasing Stingmon.
"Let's go, Guilmon." Takato smiled. Then they sped off in a blink of the eye. Everyone else was left behind, with shock etched on their faces. They soon followed the four towards the North. When they arrived at the Castle, they found the four sleeping in front of it.
"These guys are too stubborn for their own good." Yolei shook her head. And they took them into the castle and laid them resting peacefully on the beds in the guest room.
But Izzy thought that he needed to examine the Dexes and the Digivices. He also plans on installing a new program in the Old Version Digivice and the D3's that tells them what the opponent Digimon's stats without the need of looking at Izzy's laptop. He also planned on transferring Digimon Data to the Pokédexes and Pokémon Data into the Digivices and Izzy's Laptop database.
"Sure." yawned everyone else handing their Digivices and Pokédexes to Izzy and went straight to sleep.
