The Birth of a Chirin (The Goal is in Reach, Awaken Your Bond, Tyilinmon!)
The mountain air grew chilly as the group continued to climb, as they watched the sun depart over the horizon, they made camp inside a cave and made plans to have a few members sleep now so that they could act as the night watchers to which Keith and Fred agreed to take the first shift and Ian and Steven agreed to take the second shift.
Whilst the camp was being set and hushed conversations were going on, mostly to allow Keith and Fred to sleep, Catherine asked about how they handled their Digimon partners in the human world and Darren revealed that Kudamon had been around him always since his look perfectly disguised himself as a neck pillow, "Huh, that's creative, So Kudamon, what was it like being around us all the time?" "Very… introspective, since unfortunately, I've seen some of the worst of humanity mostly with how they treat people in your class, however in spite of it, any human who acts as noble as you, they are a good sign for humanities future." Darren smiled and very lightly patted Kudamon's head, to which he smiled in response.
As the rest of the team fell asleep, Fred had a brief double take, as he thought he could see a dragon looking at him, but he admitted that his eyes were possibly playing tricks on him and later on, Steven heard a noise that sounded like a soft growl above him, but considering that the Digimon behind him had a variety of sleeping noises so to him, it was probably nothing.
As the group fully woke up, they heard a very mature feminine sounding voice speaking, "Excuse me, I apologize for intruding on your premises, but we would like to ask a favour." The group turned to see just behind them in the mouth of the cave, there was a tall rabbit like Digimon with very baggy trousers with a necktie around her neck, "Well this is a unique surprise." Keith responded to which Catherine enquired, "Uh, stupid question, are you by somehow connected to that Dog, Chicken and Monkey that battled us yesterday? "… I do not know what you mean by those certain words, but we are connected as such for you see, we are the Devas." "The Devas? Sounds like an Italian rock band." Barry joked, to which a snarl from above them called, "Do not insult us, for we are nine of the strongest Digimon in the land!" "Considering your track record in the last few days, I find that hard to believe." "Agreed." Fred and Patrick commentated to which a large, winged tiger leapt down from the top of the cave and growled in rage.
"Mihiramon, your temper once again knows no bounds." A loud high-pitched voice called out from the other side of the mountain and a gigantic dragon grabbed onto their side and was standing in front of them, "Okay, before things get even more crowded, madam, what was your favour?" "Um, well, interesting way of calling me that but, oh yes the favour, we wish to see your skills in combat." "That's not going to work here, since Shenron over here won't even fit." "There is a battleground above us, foolish lifeforms." "Wow you are so polite, it's unbelievable." "I fully agree." "Thank you." The group and Digimon conversed as they climbed up to the battleground.
As they arrived the rabbit Digimon, which she revealed herself to be called Antylamon explained why they wished to see their skills in combat, "Our masters the Four Sovereigns wish to see if you truly are the Royal Knights and Protectorates respectively and as such, each Sovereign has been sending us Devas to see you skills in battle and I believe that you are half way there, after you defeat-" "Attempt to defeat." "Yes, yes, there will be one more battle to endure, please choose your fighters and then we will begin."
The team discussed what to do since the new fighters would need to be different from the last fight and after the discussion concluded, the battle was about to begin.
Agumon Digivolve to… Greymon!
Ruffmon Digivolve to… Gruffmon!
Kudamon Digivolve to… Reppamon!
Guilmon Digivolve to… Growlmon!
Dracomon Double-Digivolve to… Coredramon!
Elecmon Digivolve to… Leomon!
Veemon Armor-Digivolve to… Yasyamon!
Frostlemon Digivolve to… Sorcerermon!
Gruffmon, Blue Coredramon and Yasyamon battled Antylamon, Greymon, Green Coredramon and Sorcerermon battled the dragon Digimon which was called Majiramon and Reppamon, Growlmon and Leomon battled Mihiramon.
Out of the opponents Majiramon was the biggest but because of that, the attacks were easier to predict that the much smaller and thus faster fighters, Antylamon was the best fighter of the trio as she moved as if she was a ballet dancer, and Mihramon was the fastest and most brutal of the trio, overall, it was a tough battle and whilst the battle endured, Ian slowly began to realise that he in a sense helping out people without Paul and this made him realise, that in spite of his fears of being alone without Paul, he'd honestly started to gain actual friendships with the group and he was truly thankful for it.
At the same time, Darren had been truly thinking about whether his outburst about the class system had upset Kudamon, but he then realised that Kudamon had been talking about those who humiliated the lower classes and that since he and his friends were standing up for themselves, he was talking about them being the future of humanity. As for Steven, he was still internally apologizing for his treatment of his partners and their Digivices glowed once more.
Greymon Digivolve to… MetalGreymon!
Reppamon Digivolve to… Chirinmon!
Gruffmon Digivolve to… SuperGruffmon!
The Digimon battles became even fiercer, thanks to Greymon now gaining small wings, a metallic armour chest plate which could fire missiles and an armoured helmet/head, Reppamon had now completely transformed into a majestic looking creator looking similar to dragon but with majestic angel wings and a very fluffy tail, and Gruffmon had become bipedal with his scarf having transformed into a very large, blood red cape and on his arms there was more armour ending with two crimson blades sticking out, another blades was also on his tail, and surprisingly his feet were also blades and amazingly, he was able to walk just fine.
"Just one more to go." Antylamon whispered to herself, as she charged up her "Bunny Blades" to strike at the three and since Coredramon and Yasyamon had been struck by that attack they prepared themselves to dodge out of the way, but not SuperGruffmon, he merely smirked and leapt at Antylamon with the cry of "Trident, Saber!" and the three blades glowed red and clashed with the bunny blades knocking Antylamon back several feet.
Coredramon and Sorcerermon smartly were alternating their attacks, which distracted Majiramon successfully enough, so that MetalGreymon could strike at him with his "Giga Destroyer" missiles, which knocked him to the ground.
Leomon was brutally smashed by Mihiramon with his "Armoured Tiger Tail" to which he was immediately afterwards attacked by Chirinmon's "Holy Wave" which seemed to calm him briefly before he growled at him, and he charged at him with a shout of "Samurai Tiger Tail" and Chirinmon soared up into the air and struck him with "Wind Cutter Sword", To which for ten seconds utter silence laid across the battlefield and then Mihiramon turned and muttered out "Impressive." before he collapsed.
"Well done, young warriors you have only one more battle to do, however one of the opponents is a very dangerous opponent, be very careful." And thus, a large door appeared in the mountain, and everyone entered and in his thoughts, Elecmon was now believing that he was not strong enough to protect Catherine.
