The warriors of earth and wood starred at the beast of steel, pondering how they could get their friends out of the abomination.
"Any ideas yet?" Bokomon asked anxiously.
"Grumblemon got nothing," the gnome groaned, "What you got Arbormon?".
Arbormon just stared at the steel beast that held their friends. The robot thought hard on how to enter the monster. But then his eyes looked at the bottom sphere which just so happened to be the wood sphere.
"Hang on a second, right," Arbormon said before jumping of the cliff.
"Hey, where are you going!?" Bokomon shouted.
"Over there!" Neamon pointed.
"Hey wait up!" Grumblemon said before jumping after the robot.
In a matter of moments, the two redeemed warriors had ended up underneath Sephirothmon.
"So, what plan pal?" Grumblemon asked as he looked up at the spheres.
"Look now that there is the wood sphere, right?" Arbormon explained, "And I'm the warrior of wood after all, so I might be able to break in, yah understand?"
"Yeah, it sound like when Grumblemon save Arbormon spirit after Viralmon skewer Duskmon with tree spears," the earth warrior said, "But really think can pierce Sephirothmon?".
"Let's hope so, right," Arbormon replied before his mouth opened up, "Blockade seed!" he then fired seeds at the orb.
Unfortunately, the seeds just bounced off against the force field.
"Look like no good," Grumblemon pointed out, before one of the seeds bonked him on the head, "Ow!".
"Sorry bout dat," Arbormon apologized, before looking back at the monster, "Oh well it's like I always say, if at first you don't succeed, then try try again, right?".
Meanwhile inside of the steel beast,
The kids had been separated into different spheres of Sephirothmon. Tommy was just waking up from a dream of how mean his older brother was to him awhile ago.
"Huh, where am I?" Tommy asked as he got up, "This is weird, wait a minute where is everyone?".
The world he was in had a dark sky filled with red swirling clouds, the land was rough and rocky with tall pointy mounts and craters throughout. The land was also very warm, which may be because of all the lava lakes and falls.
"Guys, guy?" Tommy said with worry, "Come on you guys this isn't funny anymore!" the young boy shouted, "Where are you?!".
The boy was then startled back when fire erupted from a crater he was next to.
"Ah, Takuya, help me!" he called for his brother figure.
Speaking of which,
"Uh huh," Takuya said as he observed his surroundings, which seemed to be a cold wasteland of snow and ice, "Alrighty then, isn't this place just full of surprises?".
Meanwhile,
Koji found that he was now in a bright forest with a few trees and a nice breeze.
"Well this is interesting," he said, unamused at his circumstance.
And then with JP,
The larger Digi-destined was walking through an area slightly similar to where he was before, but there was less rocks and much more thunder and lightning.
"Zoe, Tommy, Taki, where are you!?" JP cried for his friends as he walked through the wasteland, before tripping on a rock and falling down a small hill, "Ack, oof, beans, this stinks," he groaned as he got up, "I wonder if the others are having a better day than me?".
Back outside of the beast,
"Blockade seed!" Arbormon then shot another seed at Grumblemon.
"Hiiaahhhhh!" Grumblemon shouted as he whacked the seed with his hammer towards Sephirothmon.
The home run seed collided into the force field with great force, looking like it was going to work.
"There yah go, right!" Arbormon cheered, with Grumblemon smiling at their supposed victory.
However, the seed was then forced back by the field and was sent flying over the cliff Bokomon and Neemon were on. It then exploded in the background, much to the warrior's dismay.
"Good effort gentlemen!" Bokomon tried to encourage as he looked down from the cliff.
"But it didn't work?" Neemon added, only to get his pants snapped by the other Digimon.
"Keep trying, I'm sure you'll think of something!" Bokomon said
"Bokomon make sound easy?" Grumblemon groaned.
Arbormon was just as displeased, until he felt something. It felt like someone he knew was in trouble? "Hey, whats going on here, right?" he thought to himself. As the feeling got clearer, he could tell that Tommy had trouble coming his way in the fire sphere, "Oh dat ain't good," he then looked at Sephirothmon. He then felt an odd sense of determination flowing through his gears.
Arbormon then jumped into the air and threw his retractable hands at the orbs, much to the earth warrior's surprise.
"Arbormon, what doing!?" the earth warrior asked, being surprised by the robot's sudden action.
The wood warrior's hands then grabbed onto the closest sphere and propelled the robot towards it. Unfortunately, once he got to the sphere the force field began to shock him.
"What the beans is he doing!?" Bokomon shouted.
"Looks like he's hugging it?" Neemon stupidly added.
"Ohowowowwow, right!" he screamed in pain, but he then tried to stay focused, "Yo Tommy, I don't knows if yah can hear's me, right?" Arbormon struggled to say as the field tried to throw him back, "But I want to get to know you too, yah understand!?" Arbormon said with determination, "And not just for my spirit, you and Grumble brought me back, and I wants to return the favor!"
The shield then sparked greatly before tossing the wooden robot back to the ground.
"Yaaaaaahhh och!" he screamed.
"What you for thinking pal!?" Grumblemon asked with worry.
"Well probably what you's was think when you jumped at em, right?" Arbormon replied as a bit of smoke came from his slightly charred armor, "But listen I's ain't given up, yah understand?".
Back with Tommy in the fire sphere,
"Takuya, Koji, Zoe, JP?" he cried, but no one answered, "Where can they be?"
Tommy then remembered his brother telling him that Tommy couldn't take care of himself, making the boy angry.
"Shows what he knows, that's the old me," he said as he pulled out his D-tector, "The new me is a legendary warrior," but then it started glowing with the symbol of wood, "Huh, whats going on now?" he then remembered that the warriors of wood and earth were not caught up in this mess like the humans were.
He then saw that the beast spirit of wood was flashing on screen. Tommy thought back to before, he had noticed earlier that something seemed funny about Arbormon. Then he wondered if the robot might be in trouble and if maybe his beast spirit was trying to tell him something.
"I don't know why, but I think Arbormon might need this now?" Tommy said, before looking determined and pushed a button on his D-tector, "I hope this helps out, whatever's happening to you?"
The spirit then flew out of the D-tector and zoomed into the distance until it couldn't be seen.
Outside of Sephirothmon,
Grumblemon had just helped the wood warrior up.
"Arbormon okay now?" he asked.
"Yeah, I think I'm good," Arbormon replied, "But something in my gears is telling me that little human is going ta need help very very soon, yah understand?" Arbormon then clenched his fist, "And there ain't nothin going to stop me from doing it right!".
As he said this, something small and bright came out of the fire sphere, catching the attention of the redeemed warriors.
"Huh, what now!?" Grumblemon asked, before he realized, "Wait, me see before, that spirit!".
The glowing orb then descended towards Arbormon and as this happened, the light faded to reveal a spirit that looked like a flower with red petals around a bark brown head.
"Petaldramon, is dat yous?" Arbormon asked in astonishment as the spirit landed in his hands. He then felt the beast spirit tell him something and it was the same feeling the robot had been feeling all this time, "So yous feeling it too, we need to help our new friends, right?" he asked, before feeling the spirit of the lizard nodding. "Well, then let's do this, right! He said with determination as he grabbed the spirit, before fractal code enveloped him, "Yah better stand back Grumble, it's time for Petaldramon to rumble once more, yah understand!"
The earth warrior nodded before frantically jumping aside.
The beast spirit of wood roared, as Arbormon appeared in the digivolution zone, "Execute, beast spirit evolution!" the robot then turned black as his eyes glowed and the armor of bushy trees, red leaf main and feet, and a twin root tail appeared and slowing pressed onto the robot. The wood armor then exploded as the forest covered reptile emerged. The large lizard then landed onto the pedestal, before standing on his hind legs and roaring, "Petaldramon!".
"Oh my, I never thought I'd be glad to see him again!" Bokomon said dumbfounded.
"I never thought you'd see him again ether," Neemon added.
"Looking great Petaldramon!" Grumblemon congratulated, "Now warriors of earth and wood at full power for good!".
Petaldramon roared, feeling great to have his beast spirit back and was ready to go save his new friends.
"Dat bundle of blobs ain't gonna keep me out now, yah understand!" he then stood on his front legs and swung his tails back and forth before forcing them into the ground, "Thorn jab!". Roots then emerged from the ground and shot up towards Sephirothmon. Unfortunately, they couldn't reach the abomination. "Drats, no good, right?" Petaldramon growled, before looking towards his pal, "Hey Grumblemon, I think we's needs the high ground, if yah know what I mean?".
"Me do, execute!" the earth warrior was then enveloped by fractal code, "Grumblemon, slide evolution!" he then transformed into, "Gigasmon!" he then grinned at the lizard, "Now you turn to stand back," the giant then jumped into the air and grabbed his fist, "Tectonic Slam!". The giant hit the ground with great force, making the land race higher and higher with the two beast holding on tight.
"Now where talking, right," Petaldramon smiled, before taking his former stance, "Now lets do this right dis time, Thorn Jab!".
His tails then dug into the raised earth and then came right out charging at the wood sphere. The force field tried to keep the roots back, but the beast of wood was dead set on getting in.
"We are coming in, one way, or another!" Petaldramon shouted as he struggled to force the roots through, "Right!".
With that proclaimed, the roots finally broke through the shield. They then punctured their way into the wood sphere, ripping open a hole large enough to get in.
"We done did yeah!" Gigasmon cheered as he turned back to Grumblemon.
"You better believe it, now hang on, right!" Petaldramon said before he shot his long brown tongue into the sphere through the hole.
The earth warrior quickly grabbed onto the lizard before the wood beast was pulled upwards into Sephirothmon.
"Good luck you two!" Bokomon waved.
"Bring me back a toy!" Neamon added stupidly.
"More importantly bring back the others!" Bokomon encouraged.
"Ooh that's way better!" Neamon relipled, much to Bokomon's annoyance.
Petaldramon with Grumblemon hanging onto one of the roots on his back where then pulled all the way into the sphere. Just before the hole sealed up, trapping them inside like all the others.
Inside the wood sphere.
Once they were above the closed hole, Petaldramon detached his tongue from the ceiling and landed with a loud crash. Which ended up causing Grumblemon to fall off.
"Ow," he said as he hit the ground before rubbing his head, "Not best land, but work whatever,".
Petaldramon then retracted his tongue, before turning back to Arbormon.
"Looks like Mercurymon hasn't changed this place since the training days, right?" Arbormon observed, "Not that I blame, this place is just my kinda element,".
"Hopefully mean other rooms still same," Grumblemon said after getting up.
"No kidding, right," Arbormon said, before spotting two eyeball doors, "Well what do we have here?".
The warriors could feel the presence of thunder behind the right door and the presence of fire with a hint of ice on the left.
"Look like need to split?" Grumblemon moaned, before looking at the robot, "You think okay alone Arbormon?".
"If what you said earlier is true, then I should be able to handle this," Arbormon said, before raising his finger, "Besides, it's like I always say, even if we're far apart, we're still close, right?".
"Right," Grumblemon nodded, seeming comforted by the wood warrior's strange saying.
The two then entered the eyeballs, with Grumblemon heading to the thunder sphere and Arbormon heading to the fire sphere.
The eyeballs then vanished. But after they did, another eyeball apperied and dropped Zoe out of it.
"Whaah!" Zoe said as she fell out, before getting up and walking through the forest, "Whatever are those guys thinking, leaving a girl all alone?".
Meanwhile in the fire sphere,
The young Digidestined trudged on through the fire land, not happy.
"I'm tired of this, my feet hurt and it's hot," Tommy moaned, before seeing that he was not alone.
"Hot, that's not hot!? A humanoid black digimon with many faces said as he raised his many muscly arms, "Now this is hot!".
This frightened Tommy, especially when the Digimon then threw a fireball at Tommy. The young boy quickly dodged and started running.
"Oh yeah!" he said as he ran, with the growling Digimon following.
Tommy tried to spirit evolve, but the pursuer kept throwing flames at the kid, preventing him from fighting back. It wasn't long until Tommy found himself at the end of a cliff.
"Oh, come on!" he whined as he tried to evolve.
But the Digimon then threw another fireball, destroy the part Tommy was.
"Aaaahhhh!" he screamed as he fell. Tommy closed his eyes in fear as he neared the lava.
But then, a wooden hand shot out and grabbed the boy, saving him from a fiery fate.
"Huh, I'm OK?" Tommy gasped as he rose further and further away from the lava. He then looked up to see that the warrior of wood was saving him, "Arbormon!?".
"Hang in there little guy!" Arbormon shouted with his other hand hanging from a cliff as he swung by like a tarzan, "Hold on there, I's gotcha, right," he said after the hand holding Tommy reattached to the robot.
The two then landed on landed on land away from the lava.
"Arbormon, you saved me!" Tommy cheered as the robot set him down, "Kinda feels weird to say that, thanks,".
"Eh no problems, right," Arbormon replied, before a fireball zipped past them, "Oh, y'know we seem to be out of our element, so we's should probably run, right?".
"You said it!" Tommy agreed, before he and the robot took of to escape the fire Digimon.
Meanwhile in the forest sphere,
Zoe continued to walk through the dreary forest.
"Well this has been such a day," she moaned, hating what happened earlier "What's a girl gotta do to get some respect?!".
"Why would you ever get any respect?" a nasty voice that sounded like Zoe taunted.
"Hey who said that!?" Zoe barked, "What do you know!".
"You can't even beat a tree," the voice taunted again.
Zoe was getting very steamed by this person and angrily looked around for the bully. To her shock Zoe then saw in the tree, laying on a branch, was what appeared to a black shadowy version of Kazemon.
"Huh, that looks like, me, as a Digimon?" Zoe said in shock, "Am I really that revealing?".
The black fairy then stuck her tongue out at the human while making a loser sign with her fingers, angering Zoe even more. The black Kazemon then jumped of the tree and flew deeper into the forest.
"Hey get back here you meanie!" Zoe demanded before giving chase.
Back in the fire sphere,
The warriors of the ice and wood had managed to escape from their fire throwing foe. They were now sitting on rocks to catch their breath.
"Gee, that was close," Tommy painted.
"Ain't dat the truth, right," Arbormon added.
"Thanks again for saving me," Tommy said, "How'd you find me anyways?".
"Well, in case you haven't figured it out, we're currently stuck insides of Sephirothmon, Mercurymon's beast spirit," the robot explained, much to Tommy's discomfort, "As for hows I found you, well, I'm not entirely sure?" he said as he scratched his head, "I just sorta had this here feeling that guided me's to yah, right?".
"I guess so?" Tommy replied seeming confused, before looking up at the robot, "So what do we do now?".
"Well, back in the day me and the other warriors used to use this place for training, right," Arbormon explained as he stood up, "My memory might be a bit stiff, but I think we can find a way outa here, yah understand?".
"I think so, lets go!" Tommy said eagerly as he got of the rock.
The two warriors then started off on their journey.
After walking a good while, Arbormon noticed Tommy seemed a bit off.
"Heys, you okay? He asked as he looked back at the boy.
"uh, yeah, I think it least?" the boy replied, seeming unsure, "Why you ask?".
"Look, I may has my beast spirit back, but well," Arbormon seemed to be struggling to get the words out.
"But what?" Tommy asked, seeming curious.
"Well, I's still what to get to knows yah, right?" the robot answered, "I'm still kinda new at this good guy thing, so, y'know,".
"You could start by tell me about yourself?" Tommy suggested, starting to get used to the robots intimidating size, "We've been enemies for so long, but I feel like I still don't know much about you yet?".
"Well, there's not much to tell, I'm a simple Digimon, right," the wood robot said as he scratched his head, "I like getting my work done, keeping myself in shape, and as you probably know, hamburgers!" Arbormon explained, seeming to cheer up.
"Yeah, I remember when we had to make you a burger to get the burgermon chef back," Tommy replied cheerfully, "I felt pretty happy when you ate my burger actually,".
"Hang on, yous was the one dat made that beautiful snack?" Arbormon asked.
"Ah-huh," Tommy nodded.
"Wow, well let me say from the bottom of my heart thanks," Arbormon said, "Kinda wish I wasn't so angry back thens, sorry right,".
"Yeah, that would have been nice," Tommy laughed.
Arbormon then chuckled a bit. He then decided to crouch down to make this easier for the human.
"So with that said, why don't you tells me about yous, right?" Arbormon said, before holding up a finger, "Y'know conversation is a two-way stream, yah understand?".
"Why do you do that?" Tommy asked, much to the wood warrior's confusion.
"Do's what?" he replied.
"Say all those sayings, like you just did?" Tommy explained, "Do you make them up or something?"
"Hey I don't make this stuff up, it just sorta comes to me, right?" Arbormon explained, making Tommy smile a bit, "So what's your story little guy, uh, Tommy right?".
"Yeah, Tommy that's me," Tommy replied, before going onto tell the wood warrior about himself.
Back with Zoe,
The girl had tried to keep up with her doppelganger, but unfortunately she had lost the black Kazemon.
"Oh come on!" she cried, while trying to catch her breath.
Afterwards, Zoe then noticed what looked like a tree that was missing its top half and looked like it had a creepy face.
"Hang on?" Zoe pondered as she looked at the tree, "Why does that look, familiar?".
Just then, the eyes of the tree glowed blue as it came to life and walked out of the ground, "Raaaoorr!" it roared as it through its branch arms up, "Remember me Zoe!?"
"Ahh, oh no, not you!" Zoe moaned after she fell down, "What are you doing here?!".
The tree Digimon was in fact Woodmon, the very first Digimon Kazemon fought and had also lost too.
"I'm here to finish what I started and squash you!" the tree barked.
"You won't win this time!" Zoe said as she held out her D-tector. The spirit of wind glowed as Zoe began her transformation. "Execute!" Zoe then swiped the fractal code on his hand across the D-tector, "Spirit Evolution!" The armor of the wind fairy appeared around the girl and slowly pressed onto her. The transformation of the two warriors was complete, the fairy then flew down and did kick before wiping her hair, for she had become, "Kazemon!".
The wind warrior then tried to kick Woodmon. But the tree just swatted the fairy aside like it was nothing.
"Ow!" Kazemon said, before trying to get up, "Why you,".
"Hahahaha!" Black Kazemon laughed as she flew in, "What makes you think you could beat him now?"
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Kazemon barked.
"It means you're the weakest legendary warrior," woodmon taunted
"You couldn't beat him alone, you needed that wolf to save your sorry behind," the fake fairy taunted, "Face it you're a dishonor to the name Kazemon!".
"Gerr, Hurricane wind!" Kazemon then whacked the two jerks with her tornadoes.
Back in the fire sphere,
The two warriors had gotten back to trying to find a way out the lava land. Arbormon had gotten to the top of a cliff and was lifting Tommy up with his lowered rope hand.
"He kept on saying that I always got what I wanted, and that world didn't work that way?" Tommy said, having been telling the robot about his older brother Utaka, "And then he just left, big meanie,".
"Doesn't sound like da most polite person, right?" Arbormon said as he raised Tommy closer to the top, "But I's think he may have a point,".
"What do you mean? Tommy asked.
"Well y'know, I don't knows much abouts your world, but I can say that not all da's Digimon are to pleasant and kind, yah understand?" Arbormon said as he helped Tommy onto the cliff.
"I guess you would know," Tommy teased.
"Yah got dat right," Arbormon replied, "But what I'm saying is that some creatures likes to take advantage of others weaker than them,".
"You mean like you did with the Burgermon?" Tommy asked as he and the robot walked up the hill.
"Yeah, exactly like that," he replied before seeming a bit glum, "Gee, I's gots to make it up to those guys one of these days, right?" Arbormon then felt pretty guilty.
"I'm sure you'll get the chance to apologize," Tommy said, trying to comfort.
"Yah really think so?" the robot asked.
But before he could answer, a ball of fire nearly hit the heroes. They then looked to see the multi headed Digimon had found them and was ready to fire.
The two then decided to take off. Soon the duo ended up getting close to a volcano and were running out of non lava filled land.
"That's it, I'm tired of running!" Tommy said before pulling out his D-tector
"I's like your ways of thinking, right," Arbormon said as he took a battle stance.
But before the boy could Digivolve,
"Blizzard Blaster!" a voice that sounded like Kumamon, but eviller and more whiney. Cold missiles then hit the warriors of ice and wood.
"Ahhh!" Tommy screamed.
"OOOOOhhrg!" Arbormon screamed as well in pain.
After hitting the hot ground, the duo tried to get up
"Hey, you miss fire or something?" the robot asked.
"That wasn't me!" Tommy protested.
"Actually, it was,"
"Huh?" the warriors then turned and soon saw the attacker.
It looked like Kumamon, except all the color was black and shadowy.
"What, why's there another me!?" Tommy cried.
"That there is one of the shadow clones made by Mercurymon, right," Arbormon explained.
"Wait, you mean like the one that attacked JP?"
"Most certainly, right," the robot replied, "So you probably already know that he's going to try to drive you to despair, yah understand?".
"You haven't gotten rid of them yet Asuramon?" the black snow bear whined, "Hurry up already, I'm tired of these losers!".
The Indian Digimon just growled, seeming annoyed by the shadow.
"I would never say that!" Tommy protested.
"Sure you would, your just a selfish whiny baby!" Black Kumamon accused, "And I should know, cause I am you,".
"I'm nothing like you!" Tommy rebudled.
"Whah, whah, whah, shut up you baby!" Black Kumamon mocked as he threw a fit.
"Stop it!" Tommy shouted, before pulling out his D-tector.
The spirit of ice glowed as Tommy than began his transformation
"Execute!" Tommy then swiped the fractal code on his hand across the D-tector, "Spirit Evolution!". The armor of the ice bear appeared around the boy and slowly pressed onto him. The transformation was complete and the snow bear then sled down, for he was now, "Kumamon!".
"Blizzard Blaster!" The warrior of ice then pulled out his blaster and fired missiles at the fake. But sadly, Asuramon got in the way and took the attack.
"Geeerr, youch that's cold!" he cried.
"Now that's more like it, now get them you dummy!" Black Kumamon demanded, "Be a good friend already!".
"Raarrrr!" the Digimon roared as he charged.
The good Digimon jumped out of the way, ready to counter attack.
"Blizzard Blaster!" Kumamon said as he fired his ice missiles.
"Roundhouse Punt!" Arbormon then whacked the enemy with his detached limbs.
The attacks aggravated the Digimon, who then retaliated, "Fire fist of Shiva!" he then punched the fire of his fist at the heroes, which was super effective sadly.
Asuramon grinned at this.
"Yow that's hot, right," Arbormon groaned.
"No kidding," Kumamon agreed.
"Hurry and finish them off, your taking too long!" Black Kumamon whined, "What kind of lamo friend are you!?"
"If he's your friend, you shouldn't be treating him so badly!" Kumamon shouted.
"Come on, friends are just there to give you things and do stuff," Black Kumamon retorted smugly, "That's what you always used your friends and family for after all?"
Kumamon flinched at this. His parents had always given him a lot of stuff, and he enjoyed. So was that wrong people did so much for him? Was he a bad person because of how much he was given?
"Your going down!" Black Kumamon then pulled out his blaster.
"Blokade seed!" Arbormon then shot a seed that exploded on the fake and trapped him in vines, "Hey!".
"Dat aught keep you back, right," the wood warrior said, before turning towards the white bear, "Don't worry Kumamon, I's gots your back, you understand,".
"Thanks," Kumamon replied, seeming hesitant after what the fake said, but also a bit encouraged by the wood warrior's help.
Asuramon seemed to growl at this, seeming jealous.
"Hey, get me out of this you big lug!" Black Kumamon whined, "Stop being useless and fight now, now, now!".
"Y'know what, no!" he shouted.
"What did you say!"
"You haven't done anything for me, you're a terrible friend!" Asuramon shouted, before his face turned to the yellow happy face and looked to the real Kumamon, "Why don't you be my friend?".
"Really?" Kumamon said, seeming unsure, "Well, I guess so?".
"Good, now just hand over all your spirits like a good friend," Asuramon asked.
"What, no way!" Kumamon said, getting serious.
"Then burn!" Asuramon switched to his anger face and pushed Kumamon off the cliff.
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Tommy!" Arbormon cried, "You gonna pay for dat big time, right!" the robot was then enveloped in fractal code, "Arbormon, slide evolution!" he was then transformed into the wood beast, "Petaldramon!".
The large lizard then tried to charge at the fiery Digimon. But before he could, Black Kumamon broke free and attacked. "Blizzard Blaster!" he then rapid fired missiles at the lizard, to the point where Petaldramon was unable to get past.
"Why you little!" the lizard groaned.
"Hey, eyes on my dummy!" Black Kumamon gestured, sounding very rude.
Meanwhile in the wood sphere,
Kazemon had finally managed to knock down Woodmon.
"You see, I'm not weak like used to be!" Kazemon bragged.
"Well guess what, neither is he!" Black Kazemon retorted.
Fractal code then enveloped Woodmon, transforming him into a elderly tree with many arms, a bushy mustache, and held a cane. "Cherrymon!" the Digimon said.
"Uh oh," Kazemon said feeling worried.
"Rarrh!" Cherrymon said with his now elderly voice as he reached out to grab the fairy.
Kazemon tried to fly away, but the tree caught her, "Ghaaahh, let go you creep!".
Back at the fire sphere,
Petaldramon then got on his front legs and swung his tails in the air, "Thorn Ja-, owowowowowo!" the wood beast attempted to do his attack, but the fiery ground bunt the root tails the second they went in.
"Hhahahaah, loser!" Black Kumamon laughed.
However, the real Kumamon was not down for the count, "Frozen Tundra!" he then morphed into an ice crystal and stuck to the cliff wall.
Asuramon then switched to his happy face while reaching his arm out the the ice warrior. "Maybe I was too hasty, let's start over, just give me your spirits and well be cool," Asuramon offered.
Kumamon just frowned sternly.
"Come on, it's not like you have real friends, I'm all you got, so give me your spirits!" Asuramon said.
"No, your not a real friend, your just trying to use me!" Kumamon countered.
"Bah, you just as bad as that black bear," Asuramon said, "You don't even know what real friends are!".
"You're the one who don'ts knows, right!" Petaldramon shouted, which got the fire digimon's attention, "That kid knows more about friendship than any of you's mooks, yah understand!".
"Bah!" they scoffed.
"Listen, that kid was willing give me a chance, even when I didn't think I's could do anything after what I's done," the lizards explained, "If that ain't friendship, den I don't know what is!".
"Petaldramon," Kumamon said, seeming a bit moved by the former villain's words.
Black Kumamon was getting fed up and was soon enveloped in fractal code and became a black Blizzardmon. The false ice beast then jumped on the wood beast and held him down, "Shut up!"
"Yeah, what do you know!" Asuramon then turned back towards the crystallized Kumamon, "Alright, I'll give you one more chance, hand over the spirit and I'll-"
But what Asuramon didn't know, was that Kumamon had been growing his ice through the ground and had then broken through the cliff. This sent the treacherous Digimon into the lava and allowed Kumamon to get back up.
"Leave my friend alone!" the ice warrior shouted, before being covered in fractal code, "Kumamon, Slide Evolution!" the ice warrior had now become, "Blizzardmon!".
The ice beast's dreadlocks then glowed, "Frozen Arrowheads!" the locks then grabbed the faker and pulled him off the lizard.
"You see, you're just helping that fire hazard so you can get something!" Black Blizzardmon accused.
"What no, I?" Blizzardmon stuttered.
"Yeah, you are!" the fake shouted, "Your no better than that loser Asuramon!".
However, Petaldramon had used this chance to stand on his hind legs, "Leaf Cyclone!" the wood beast then blew the fake away with his attack.
"Shut up, right!" the lizard shouted, "Now you listen here, I'm helping Tommy because I want to, yah understand!" he then looked at Blizzardmon, "Look, don't listen to dat jerk, yous don't have to do's anything for me because of this, yah understand?".
Suddenly, the lava began to rumble. Then Asuramon jumped out of the lava unharmed and fist a flaming.
"Fire Fist of Shiva!" the four armed beast then unleash a flurry of fireballs at the heroes.
"Ahhhhh!" the beast screamed as the fire enveloped them.
The attack had been so powerful the it devolved Blizzardmon back to Tommy and Petaldramon back to Arbormon.
Black Blizzardmon then turned back to Black Kumamon, "See what happens when you don't listen to me?"
Asuramon begrudgingly nodded.
"That's what I thought, now be a 'good' friend and get these jerk's spirits!" The fake commanded.
"Looks like your brother was right, you really are just a selfish brat!" Asurmon then surrounded the heroes flames.
"My brother?" Tommy said, before thinking about his brother and about what he said about other people using him. "Yutaka, I think I get it now," he then looked at the two enemies and then at Arbormon, "You didn't want me to end up being used or becoming a terrible person?" He then looked at the robot and thought about he had said early. Despite all the evil the robot had done, Arbormon had really changed and was a true friend, "Thank you, I won't let them burn you!" Tommy then tried to cover Arbormon from the fire.
"Tommy, watch out," Abormon said, worried for the boy.
Tommy remained calm, despite the hot flames the boy felt relief and even though the flames were getting closer and hotter, the heat didn't hurt. In fact, he felt cool, like ice.
Well, I suppose you know what it's time for. Time for the fusion of-, wait, it's a what? Its that thing!? OOOHHHHH, oh no, uhg. Oih, I don't know if have the time or energy to make something up or get permission from someone else to use theirs, oi. Well okaaaay, here go's, something? Please bare with me.
The dimensions began to flicker and swirl. Then Tommy's D-tector began to glow bright.
When the light faded, the young boy found himself in a place covered in snow, with the wind blowing snowflakes.
"Whoa, what is this place?" Tommy asked, "Weird, why don't I feel cold?".
Then the boy saw a blue orb shine in the snow in front of him. Before he could react the orb and the snow around it began to rise. Soon the mass of snow was a bit higher than Tommy. It was clear that something was under the snow.
The creature then shook off the snow and reviled an old looking Digimon, "Why hello there sonny," the Digimon said, sounding kind and elderly.
The Digimon looked to be a mammal that looked similar to Blizzardmon, it walked on six legs with gold bracelets on each, the body was covered many locks of white hairy furr, some of which were braided, the only the bottom of the legs and head showing, its head looked a bit like a yak or a goat with to large brown horns spreading out, it had a white tail that looked like the rest of the fur, and on his back was the orb slightly covered by more hair with a few black spouts surrounding it on the sides.
"Hello?" Tommy said, slightly intimidated but also kinda amused, "So, who are you?".
"Where are my manners, I am the original warrior of ice, AncientMegatheriummon," the ice warrior explained, "Nice to meet you, my successor,".
"AncientMgeather-um?" Tommy tried to say, struggling to pronounce his predecessor name.
"Now, now, don't hurt yourself, hehe," AncientMegatheriummon chuckled, "Listen, back in my day, we warriors were the best of friends, it took awhile, but we overcame our differences to save the digital world," The ice warrior explained, "I'm proud you have learned what true friendship is,"
"Thank you," Tommy replied, before getting worried, "Wait if I'm here, what happened to Arbormon?!"
"Now don't you worry about your wooden friend," AncientMegatheriummon assured, "Your just about to save him,".
"I am?" Tommy said with confusion.
"Tommy, let me ask you something?" AncientMegatheriummon asked, "Do you like ice cream?".
"I love ice cream, yeah!" Tommy eagerly answered.
"Hhehe, then you'll enjoy this," AncientMegatheriummon then glowed, "With great honor, I bestow upon you my full power,".
Tommy smiled as the power began to form in him, "Thank you so much," he bowed, before putting his hand on the mammal's face gently, "I promise I'll use it to protect all my friends!".
"See that you do," AncientMegatheriummon smiled, "May the strength of snow and ice protect you for all of winter and eternity,".
The realm of ice then blew away, as Tommy's fusion evolution began.
Both of the spirits of ice glowed as the young boy was covered in fractal code. The spirits each gave pieces of themselves as Tommy gained a new form. The fractal code then exploded away, revealing a giant purple penguin with ice pops and a crank on his head? The bird then breathed out a puff of cold air and proclaimed himself as,
"Daipenmon,"
The Digimon started dumbfounded by the, thing, Tommy had become.
"Whoa, that's uh, something alright, right?" Arbormon said as he sat up, trying to understand what the fusion was.
"That stupid thing won't stop me!" Asurmon shouted.
"You two have spoiled the name of friendship!" Daipenmon boomed with his voice, but the beak didn't move for some reason, as he pulled out a giant blue popsicle, "For that, I shall freeze you colder than your horrid hearts!".
The giant penguin then slapped the fire Digimon away, before turning towards his fake counterpart and,
Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, nooooooo. This was a bad idea, oh what have I done? I can't leave it like this, everyone will hate me! Wait, I think can still save this! I know, I'll give him a 'hidden feature'. If your still here don't go, I promise I'll fix this!
The dimensions then flickered a bit, but no one noticed.
Black Kumamon was starting to panic, "Y-y-you don't scare me!" he shuttered, "Crystal Breeze!" He then breathed out a breeze that frozen around the lower half of the penguin thing, but it didn't stop the fusion, thing?
Daipenmon smirked, before the crank on his head began to turn.
Daipenmon then breathed out an even more powerful icy wind that created a huge blizzard. In a matter of moments, the fire sphere was covered in snow, even the outside of Sephirothmon had ice forming around it.
Then in the wood sphere,
Cherrymon had gotten Kazemon beaten down. Having just thrown her at another tree, before she soon crashed into the ground.
"Haha, your even more pathetic than before!" the tree taunted.
The wind warrior growled. Sadly Zoe was beginning to worry that what the fake and tree had said was true. She secretly did always feel embarrassed to have lost her first fight, "I guess I really am the weakest?" she thought, "Why can't I beat this?!"
But then, Kazemon felt a gentle breeze of cold air, it reminded her of Kumamon. Zoe then thought of her other friends and how they are probably going through a situation like her's, if not worse? "Back then, I couldn't protect my friends when they needed me?" Kazemon said as she got up, before getting determined, "But I'm not like that anymore, I'm stronger now!".
"Yeah right!" Black Kazemon scoffed.
"I'm not going to worry about what you say!" Kazemon retorted, "I'm going to be strong, for my friends!".
Kazemon then started doing a spinning headstand, "Tempest Twist!" it then created a tornado the grew larger and larger. The tornado then sucked in her two foes.
"Naaahh!" the tree cried.
The fake fairy and the tree struggled to stand there ground inside the twister.
"You, still can't stop us!" Black Kazemon struggled to say.
"Want a bet, execute!" Kazemon said from inside the tornado walls, before being covered in fractal code, "Kazemon, slide evolution!" the wind warrior had now become, "Zephyrmon!".
The enemies tried to launch a counterattack, but the harpie ninja was moving to fast inside the winds to be seen.
"Plasma Paws!" Zephyrmon's talons glowed, before zipping past her foes and slashing them like the ninja she was.
The wind beast continued this, damaging the evil Digimon constantly.
"It, doesn't matter, how strong you are," Black Kazemon struggled to say, "You'll never be better than Ranamon!" The fake fairy then disintegrated into code.
"Aaaaaaahhhh!" Cherrymon screamed, before fading to black with his fractal code showing.
"Slide evolution!" Zephyrmon then turned back to Kazemon, "Looks like I've won the rematch, huh?" she said, before pulling out her D-tector, "Fractal code, Digitize!" she then scanned the fractal code, ending the evil tree.
After this was done, the tornado winds faded alongside the forest.
Kazemon then turned back to Zoe, "I'm not weak anymore" she said confidently, looking cool.
However, she then remembered what Black Kazemon had said, "You'll never be better than Ranamon!"
Zoe figured that meant she would soon have to face the warrior of water once more. She then thought about her battles with Ranamon. Zoe had pretty much been able to handle herself against the amphibian, but then again, when she had become Calmaramon the squid would end up flying away from lack of control. So, what would happen if she had figured out how to use the beast spirit?
"No matter what she dishes out, I know I can beat Ranamon!" Zoe said, pushing aside her doubts.
An eyeball portal appeared in front of the girl. Zoe nodded and entered the freaky gateway.
Meanwhile in the frosted fire sphere,
The once heated lava lands had been covered in snow, decreasing the temperature greatly.
The giant penguin creature stared down his fake foe.
"This d-doesn't matter," Black Kumamon said, trying to hide his fear with cockiness, "Your still too fat to move!".
"Those popsicles are going to melt freak!" Asuramon growled, having also returned and was ready to burn the ice fusion.
At this point Arbormon, who was in a pile of snow and just popped up, had realized something about the penguin, "Y'know, if yah think about it, that Daipenmon is a bit more like me, yah understand?" the robot pointed out.
"What are you blabbering about?!" the fiery Digimon asked.
The penguin then grinned before, splitting open in half slowly like a machine? Then, from inside the darkness of the bird, two eyes glowed.
"What now?!" Black Kumamon whined.
"T-t-there's something in there?" Asuramon said, sounding astounded with his sad face.
The Digimon inside then lunged out at blurring speed. Before the fake could even see it, he was slashed rapidly by sharp weapon, sending him back. He then blasted Asuramon with his weapon
The frosty air then cleared to reveal what looked like a true fusion of Kumamon and Blizzardmon. The body was like the beast, but smaller, but it had a head that looked like Kumamon, but looked more mature with a bit of gruff around the chin and had a more intense headband, he wore bits of Kumamon's armor throughout, his weapons looked like Blizzardmon's axes as swords but with Kumamon blasters attached to it, and in is mouth was a popsicle stick.
Heheh, ice, ice, ice, ice! Ice, ice, ice, ice! Icy Art-tic-mon! See, I told you I'd fix this.
"Articmon is here!" he proclaimed.
"Oh your just full of surprises," Black Kumamon groaned sarcastically, before pulling out his blaster and started firing, but Articmon was unfazed.
"Let me show you how it's done!" The ice fusion then held up his two sword blasters, "Blizzard Barrage!" The the blasters then fired intensely at the foes.
Black Kumamon jumped behind Asurmon to avoid the attack. However, the fierce pelting of snowball missiles soon knocked the Digimon aside. But he wasn't down for long, Asurmon soon sprang back up and charged at the ice warrior, fist a flaming.
Black Kumamon then tried escape, but the warrior of wood was not going to let it happen.
"Aw no yah don't, execute!" Arbormon said from in the snow, before being surrounded by fractal code, "Arbormon, slide evolution!" he then became, "Petaldramon!" the wood beast then bust out of the snow and shot his tongue at the fake bear and grabbed him.
"Hey!".
"You not getting away, right!" Petaldramon said, before stabbing his tail into the now frozen ground, "Thorn Jab!".
Since the sphere had been filled with snow, the ground didn't burn the lizard when he attacked.
"Your nothing bout a greedy jerk, you're a bad guy, they'll never like!" Black kumamon cried as he threw a tantrum.
"Wrong again, right!" Petaldramon retorted, "I may have done bad, but those heroes have forgiven me and given me the chance to do right and be a hero, yah understand!" the wood beast then grinned, "There isn't nothing more you can say to change my mind, ain't that right, Daipenmon?".
"Huh?" Black Kumamon then looked to see the giant penguin abomination standing behind him with two giant popsicles, "AAAAAAAhhhh!"
The shell of the ice fusion then clapped his frozen treats together and squashed the fake. Daipenmon then started dancing in joy at the victory.
"That a boy," Petaldramon said, before getting distracted by the 'weapons, "Oooh.
Daipenmon then then heard a lough chomp, before lifting his weapon to see the wood beast latched mouth first onto one of the popsicles, trying to eat it.
"MMMhhh, nom nom nom, good!" he said as he hung from the treat
Meanwhile Articmon wrestled with Asuarmon.
"You're a horrible little boy, nobody likes you!" Asurmon accused, "You'll never have any real friends!".
"Your wrong, friendship isn't about what you get," Articmon explained, "Friendship is about giving to the ones you love!" Arcticmon was able to overpower the Digimon, "I have friends who care about me, and they need me, we help each other!" he then pulled out his weapons, "Ice sickle Giri!" he then rushed at the villain and slashed him swiftly as he passed.
The attack had done it and Asuramon's fractal code showed.
Arcticmon then turned to the fallen foe, "This Digivice will harden my courage like ice and purity you!" he then scanned the code, "Fractal code, digitize!".
Before Asuramon disappeared, he switched to his happy place one last time. Perhaps feeling joy to be free of Black Kumamon's abuse or maybe he knew that his next life would be better. The Digimon then distigrated, alongside the realm of the fire sphere.
Articmon then turned back to Tommy, causing Daipenmon to disappear, and Petaldramon to plop to the ground.
"oofm, right?" he said, before turning back to Arbormon.
"Thank you, Yutaka," Tommy said to himself, "I wish you could see me now,".
"Hey what am I, chopped burgers?" Arbormon said as he walked to the boy.
"Nah, thanks Arbormon, you were a big help" Tommy said, "I'm really glad your on our side now, you really are a true friend,".
"Thanks, that there means a lot, yah understand?" Arbormon said, "I bet your brother would be proud of how much yah grown, right,".
Tommy smiled back, feeling trust for the wood warrior.
Then, an eyeball portal appeared. The heroes then looked towards.
"This looks the way out for you Tommy," Arbormon explained.
"Wait, your not coming?" the boy asked.
"Hey don't worry, I'll get out here eventually, right," Arbormon explained, "But me's and Grumblemon gots to find dah rest of yah and get em out of Sephirothmon, yah understand?"
"I guess?" Tommy sighed, "You sure you'll be okay?".
"Hey, don't worry bout it, me and Grumble got this, right," Arbormon said, trying to be positive, "I want to do this, and didn't you say that friendship was about what you give?".
Tommy nodded, before hugging the robot much to the robot's surprise.
"Good luck, friend," he said.
"Thanks, Tommy," Arbormon said while hugging the boy back, "I promise, we'll all get out this, right,".
Tommy then let go of the wood warrior and left threw the portal. The eye then disappeared, leaving Arbormon the only one left in the sphere.
"I know yah watching Mercurymon," he said sternly, "Don't even think about trying to swade me or Grumblemon," The wood warrior could tell that the steel warrior, wherever he was, was frowning. "Unless you and Ranamon change your ways, we ain't budging, yah understand?".
A new eyeball portal then appeared in front of the wood warrior.
"Well thank you very much, right," Arbormon said, before stepping threw it.
The portal then disappeared.
However, Mercurymon then appeared. "Tis pity Arbormon," he spoke, before looking into his mirror, "Tis no going back once thi has'ef fallen to thy human scum," he sighed as he looked at images of the former evil warriors begin defeated, "Hm, pray tell, what be'ith this?" Mercurymon looked carfulling at the scenes and felt something was off. Like something had been tampered with. "Hmmmm, me thinks that you and thy traitorous friends may not be the only ones to invade my gathering?" The steel warrior pondered, before teleporting away.
Meanwhile, outside of the steel beast,
The spheres on the bottom, the bottom left, and top left faded to black. Then one of the eyes on the fire sphere glowed and Tommy levitated out.
The boy the gently floated down to the ground, much to the delight of Bokomon and Neemon, who quickly ran to him.
"Boy, am I glad to see you guys," Tommy said, "You'll never believe what happened!".
Narrator Rika: He isn't kidding, and what about Zoe and the other legendary warriors? They're going to have a lot to talk about on the next Digimon Frontier!
Purification Redemption!
It's done at last!
Treblemon: Hooray, arf!
Goodness, how long as it been since I finished a chapter?
Treblemon: Almost three months.
What!? Oih, I guess thats what happens when you have to do your last semester of college huh? Anycase, thank you all for your waiting. These chapters take awhile to make, but I'll try not to take as long now that I'm free.
This one took a lot longer since the original episode I feel was not that good. Then again, its a headache trying to figure out anything with this blasted bundle of balls.
.......,.?
Treblemon: Huh, oh well? Time for review mentions, arf!
Of course. Special thanks to Charmander17, EMP, Time Knight Leo, and Lei Lei, for your reviews.
Treblemon: We really love reviews, arf, so thanks for taking the time to do so, arf!
I hope the changes I made are still enjoyable.
Treblemon: But what about Koji!? Arn't you going to show his battles?
Don't worry. When it comes time for light to face dark, I'll be sure his battle gets mentioned.
Treblemon: Oh good, I like him. He's a wolf like me, arf!
Remember, reviews lead to sooner chapters and better stories!
Treblemon: Come back next time, it will be great, arf!
Choa!
..c.r..y.o. : Hmmmm, I wonder?
