The Return to the Digital World
Lupine Laser: I do not own Digimon and please review! Some parts of AncientGarurumon might be my own imagination and interpretation, just like Strabimon. Much thanks to Kushina-korra95 who has favourited me as him favourite author!
I was covered in Fractal Codes as I became AncientGarurumon. When I was finished, I heard everyone gasp. They must be wondering where Strabimon went. I did not have time to bother about that. In my mind, there were four different thoughts. Lobomon, KendoGarurumon, Beowulfmon and me. We all wanted to finish off Gulfmon who had injured me and my friends.
Chapter 16: The Power of AncientGarurumon
KOUJI'S POV
Though I was still injured, I knew I would be strong enough to defeat Gulfmon. AncientGarurumon's powers, by my standards, bypassed the Mega level Digimons.
Gulfmon was utterly shocked. "What were you saying about me being a weakling?" I thundered. Gulfmon changed his expression into a serious one.
"You are still a weakling to me. Now, I have a worthy opponent!" he said gleefully. Before Gulfmon could do anything, I grabbed him by the torso and flew up into the sky. Gulfmon stuttered, "What are you doing?" I just continued speeding up the sky, keeping a firm grip on him. Interestingly, I could levitate.
I made sure that if we were to fight a lot, we would not damage Ophanimon's castle which was directly below us. When we were too high to see the castle below, I let him go.
That fat centaur could amazingly fly with his two small wings. I suppressed a laugh. "Let's fight here, Gulfmon. You and me," I said.
Almost immediately, I shouted, "Sharpness Claymore!" I brandished my two greatswords with dazzling radiance and proceeded to cut Gulfmon into pieces. However, for a big guy, Gulfmon was fast. He dodged it.
"Black Requiem!" Gulfmon shouted as dark energy from the Dark Area hit me. I groaned, but it was not enough to hurt me much. We fought on long and hard up in the sky with me using Sharpness Claymore and Gulfmon using Black Requiem. Most of the time, our attacks seemed to cancel each other out. I would have beaten Gulfmon in one shot but I was already weak and injured.
KOUICHI'S POV
I managed to pick myself off the ground and went over to help the others. We all looked into the sky to see a white line and a black line zipping about each other. When this Digimon emerged from the pile of rubbles where Strabimon was, the Digimon immediately grabbed Gulfmon and flew up into the sky.
I could not see the Digimon clearly but I knew it had purple stripes and a mostly white body. Then, I remembered about Strabimon. I ran over to the heap of stones and took them apart one brick at a time. The rest came to help but when we were finished, Strabimon was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Strabimon?" I asked.
Cherubimon looked upwards and said, "I think he is up there."
All of us gasped in shock. Strabimon digivolved into that Digimon? "Then... What's that Digimon?" I asked.
Seraphimon answered this time, "If I am not wrong, that is AncientGarurumon, one of the ten Ancient Warriors." Another round of gasps.
Takuya asked, "How... How did Strabimon digivolve into AncientGarurumon?" Everyone shrugged.
I remembered something. I said, "I think it makes sense now. I think Kouji had regained his memories from the impact of hitting the wall, then, as Shamanmon said, a gift of a life will be earned. I guess that it is the power to digivolve into AncientGarurumon."
We all stared in wonder at the two Digimons fighting in the sky.
KOUJI'S POV
I was getting more tired. Accidentally, I let my guard down and Gulfmon hit me hard in the stomach with his Black Requiem attack. He had been hitting me in the same spot about five times, but this time was very hard. I guess he was trying to penetrate my Chrome Digizoid armor. Fortunately, the armour was really strong.
I got very frustrated after a while more. I decided to end this. "Absolute Zero!" I thundered. I completely halted the movement of my opponent, Gulfmon, with super-cold air. I froze all of his electrons and he was paralysed. "Three, two, one, Sharpness Claymore!" I roared as my two sharp swords slashed through the now frozen-solid Gulfmon.
Gulfmon cried in agony and his Fractal Code appeared. Without hesitating, I whipped out my D-tector. "Fractal Code Digitise!" Gulfmon's Fractal Code was absorbed into my D-tector and his Digi-egg flew off.
I slowly landed on the ground in the court yard. I bent down and asked, "Are you all okay?"
Kouichi walked up to me. "Kouji, is that really you?" I nodded. By then, I was really weak from the battling and injuries. I transformed back into myself and went unconscious.
