(Author's Note)

Hi again! I have not been getting any reviews lately (except from my friend) and I really need them!

Anyway, here is Chapter 4 as promised. Sorry for the super long wait.

Disclaimer: The authoress has nothing to do with the creation of Digimon. That is solely reserved for Akiyashi Hongo.

BUT THIS CONCEPT IS HERS XD

Chapter Three

Sakuriya's POV

We were practically running for our lives with an enormous bug right on our heels.

"What the hell is that?" I yelled, as I began to pick up speed.

"HerculesKabuterimon!" the pink blob replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Then it turned and shot out embers from its mouth, hoping to stall the bug or something.

But apparently, it just made it angrier and increase it speed two-folds. I knew we would not be able to maintain our speed or outrun it.

And to prove me right, we were approaching a cliff— a dead end.

"Damn it!" I heard Kajome curse. Najo was scanning the area, to see if there was any alternative escape route. But the only ones I saw was jump down or face the bug.

HerculesKabuterimon emerged from the forest, seemingly livid with anger and gave a deafening roar.

"Try and combine your attacks!" I shouted to the three Digimon. They nodded.

"Flicker Breath!"

"Snow Spit!"

"Blitz Boom!"

The three attacks pelted continuously on its armor, but it was rather ineffective.

I gritted my teeth in frustration. Wasn't there anything we could do than just stand here and do nothing? My hand travelled unconsciously to the circular device in my pocket and clenched it hard.

The pink blob was resiliently hurling her only attack at the HerculesKabuterimon. Wait a minute…I stared at the bug and then to the three smaller creatures.

And then a television series name popped into my head. And I suddenly realised what they were.

"HOLY SHIT!" I exclaimed. "YOU GUYS ARE DIGIMON!"

Everyone began to anime-style sweatdrop.

"You mean you didn't know?" Kajome rolled his eyes. "Tokimon was shouting to us just now that an Ultimate Digimon was on our heels."

"Err…I was not concentrating just now?" I grinned awkwardly.

He groaned and muttered under his breath, "You are going to be the death of me one day."

If HerculesKabuterimon was an Ultimate, and the three Digimon fighting it now were In-Trainings… WE DEFINITELY WOULDN'T STAND A CHANCE AGAINST IT!

I took out the device I was grasping from my pocket and began to jab the buttons in a fury. Why didn't it work? If I could use it, probably a miracle could happen!

I growled inwardly. I needed a miracle to get the Digivice working. Damn.

I looked at the pink Digimon, and I felt my heart thumping wildly. The feeling was intense. I stared at it, and wondered, "Could it be my partner Digimon like all those Digidestined?"

Suddenly, the Digivice whirred into life and I took a glimpse at the screen. There was a weird insignia on it, something almost similar to a flame. Then there was a light.

Kajome's POV

I didn't know whether Sakuriya was senseless or just plainly dense. Like seriously, Tokimon was screaming in our ears just now about an Ultimate Digimon and Sakuriya was not concentrating? A really lousy excuse.

Suddenly, I heard my pocket clicking. No…something inside my pocket was! I reached into my denim jeans pocket and drew out my Digivice. The screen was flashing something in the shape of a snowflake before I was enveloped by a white light.

Najo's POV

I watched as Sakuriya and Kajome were subdued by some light and I heard my Digivice in my hand beeping. I saw as it projected some logo in the shape of a lightning bolt.

"Wha-?"

I stared in bewilderment as I saw my partner Digimon glow yellow before I was, too, swallowed by light.

Sakuriya's POV

The light drifted away from my body, and I saw that it was the same for Najo and Kajome. My light travelled into the glowing body of the pink Digimon, and I figured it was my partner. Kajome's and Najo's drifted off into the bodies of the other two Digimon.

And then when the glowing faded, three new and different Digimon were standing in their places.

A small black bear with yellow streaks running through his fur roared happily. "Tagomon digivolve to Raikumamon!"

A blue wolf with a longer silver horn and white streaks on his forehead howled. "Koramon digivolve to Korikamimon!

A pink bird with red streaks in its feathers, flapping her (yes, I discovered she was a girl) broad wings proudly. "Tokimon digivolve to Hitorimon!"

The HerculesKabuterimon stared at the three of them amusedly. And for the first time, it spoke, "Heh. You got a little upgrade, but so what? I am two levels above you! You can't possibly beat me!"

I gnashed my teeth together furiously. The HerculesKabuterimon was right; even though they finally Digivolved to their Rookie stage, they were probably still no match against an Ultimate Digimon yet. It was theorectically impossible.

"Well," I began, "it still doesn't hurt to try! Hitorimon! Go!"

The bird Digimon gave a determined cry before she took off into the sky. The next thing I knew was the clouds were raining flaming feathers. "Feather Burst!"

It worked better than I had expected. The HerculesKabuterimon was practically dancing around, avoiding the feathers. Though its shell armour was strong, the heat could get through.

"Raikumamon!" Kajome nodded as the bear took off towards the bug Digimon. "Striker Blast!"

The air around Korikamimon began to crackle with static as he leapt into the air, somersaulting at full speed towards HerculesKabuterimon. With a burst of electricity, the HerculesKabuterimon fell on its back.

"Now, Korikamimon!" Najo cried. "Avalanche Rush!"

Snow circled the midnight-black wolf as he charged towards the HerculesKabuterimon. He became a mist as he overwhelmed the HerculesKabuterimon, freezing it.

"Oh yeah!" I cheered, pumping my fist into the sky.

But it was kind of early for celebration. With a big explosion, the HerculesKabuterimon thawed out.

"Why you...!" it spat. 'Giga Scissor Claw!"

"Korikamimon/Raikumamon! Dodge it! Then counter!" Kajome and Najo chorused.

The wolf Digimon and the bear Digimon gave a knowing glance at each other before lunging. "Lightning Strike!" "Ice Shower!"

Electricity and ice were combined and zoomed towards the foe, but HerculesKabuterimon quickly dodged it and struck Korikamimon and Raikumamon with its own attack. Both Digimon were flung onto the ground, hard.

Najo and Kajome rushed to their Digimon's sides. I looked on, my rage building. I glared at the HerculesKabuterimon, who was apparently pleased with itself. But with Hitorimon, I wouldn't stand a chance. Or would I?

I glanced at my Digivice; the screen saying a puzzling word: 'Merge?'

It was like a question, but then, I felt energy coursing through my veins. I didn't know what was I doing, but in most video games, the middle button was a 'yes'. My heart was palpitating nervously within my chest. I had to give it a shot, no time for doubts.

And I pressed. I waited for a second, before the Digivice's mechanical voice spoke, "Commence."

And then there was an explosion of fire.

It was nothing I had seen on television or experienced. Flames were snaking around me, looping around my arms; my body colliding with Hitorimon's. Wings grew out of my back and Hitorimon's feathers danced madly around me.

When I reappeared a few moments later, I was no longer Sakuriya Satoshi, the tomboyish girl who always came late to school. Instead, I was Tsubasamon, the winged-angel of fire. I had long crimson hair streaked with gold, ruby wings and a feathered flaming dress.

My striking emerald-green eyes stared hard at HerculesKabuterimon, who was backing away in terror.

"What the hell are you?" it spat. "You are neither a Champion nor a Rookie!"

I smirked as I flew towards him. "That's right, I'm neither."

And I lunged.

(A/N)

BADABING! I won't continue until you guys suggest a good name for Tsubasamon's evolution stage, because as Herculesmon said, she is neither a Champion nor a Rookie. The next thing I will be doing is the profile of the new Digimons.

So yeah, get reviewing!

Sorry for being cruel.
