The Heart of a Lion (Roar! The Final Perfect Evolution, Be Born GrappuLeomon!)
As they entered through the door, they were covered by an incredibly thick mist which somehow seemed to be sparkling and then as they continued to push through the mist with Keith and Barry leading the group and then, a sudden wind began to move the mist around them like a tornado and they were all in the eye of it. As soon as the tornado dispersed, they noticed that they were in a chamber made entirely of blue reflective crystals and that they were the smallest things in the room now.
Four titanic Digimon were looming over them, soaring above their heads were an incredible long dragon with electrical surges cascading throughout their body with parts of the lightning emanating as wings as well as long chains that were attached to their head which had very small eyes and a long flowing beard, there was also a majestic six winged phoenix with multiple glaring eyes and a look a quiet fury beckoned on their face.
On the ground there was an enormous armoured white tiger with metallic components encompassing the face of the tiger and a sense of power emanated from them and to the right of them was the biggest one yet, a walking forest on legs, the foot of which was as big as a house and an enormous tree with what appeared to be multiple moving eyes looking down at them from two heads. The term scared was what was on the group's faces at the current moment.
"So, these are the beings that have entered our world." "It appears so." "But how did they get here, is the question that must be answered." "Thankfully, it's clear that these small creatures cannot harm us." "Individually, yes that is true, but they appear a bond with the Digimon by their side, this is very peculiar and interesting, in fact Ebonwumon, isn't it your time to assess them?" "You are correct, it is." "Descend, my followers!" Three large shadows leapt from the tree and landed on the ground with a little 'tap,' a large 'thump' and an immense 'crash.'
After the smoke cleared, their final opponents were revealed to them, the smallest one, was a four-foot-tall mouse in a metallic ball that was literally squeaking at them, to the left of the mouse was a centaur with an ox's head, who was wielding two blades and was covered in armour. But that was nothing compared to what was to the mouses right, there was a gargantuan pig with three red horns on their brow, red piercing eyes, two long tusks and multiple razor-sharp teeth which appeared to be grinding loudly.
"Ok, group discussion." The group huddled together to discuss strategies and who would fight whom and when it was agreed the Digivolutions began.
Agumon Warp-Digivolve to… MetalGreymon!
Gabumon Warp-Digivolve to… WereGarurumon!
Veemon Warp-Digivolve to… AeroVeedramon!
Veemon Armour-Digivolve to… Gargoylemon!
Guilmon Warp-Digivolve to… WarGrowlmon!
Frostlemon Warp-Digivolve to… Warlockmon!
Kendomon Warp-Digivolve to… Knightmon!
Impmon Warp-Digivolve to… Cindermon!
Raptormon Warp-Digivolve to… Grademon!
Ruffmon Warp-Digivolve to... SuperGruffmon!
Gearmon Warp-Digivolve to… Andromon!
Kudamon Warp-Digivolve to… Chirinmon!
Dracomon Warp-Digivolve to… Wingdramon/Groundramon!
Elecmon Digivolve to… Leomon!
Considering the opponents that they were dealing with, the group knew that each of them would ned different Digimon to fight them, so Leomon and WereGarurumon battled the mouse Digimon, Knightmon, AeroVeedramon and Grademon dealt with the ox Digimon and the Pig required everyone else. The mouse created multiple clones of themself which briefly distracted WereGarurumon and confused Leomon but exactly one well-placed kick from WereGarurumon knocked them out and he immediately joined the battle with the pig. Meanwhile Grademon and Knightmon were impressing the ox Digimon with their swordplay and he audibly laughed after AeroVeedramon's "V-Breath Arrow" knocked him to the ground and he laughed out, "You are very good however, Vikaralamon is a different beast entirely."
Whilst the battle with the mouse and the ox was simple and uniquely challenging for each one, Vikaralamon was dangerous and then some, his hide was impenetrable and his large size meant that his tusks were very hard to avoid and to make things worse, his "Fusion Ball" attack was incredibly powerful and as such was tiring out everyone, except for Leomon who wasn't even moving and Catherine had noticed and walked up to him whilst everyone else's eyes were focused on the battle with Vikaralamon.
"Hey, you, okay?" "…" "Leomon?" "I'm not strong enough, am I?" "What do you mean?" "I mean, everyone but me is able to fight back and protect themselves and their partners, but I can't everyone fights my battles for me and keeps you safe, I just, I can't fight on their level." "You can fight on their level, remember, you first Digivolved to protect me, didn't you?" "Yeah…" "And you still fought back even during the tougher fights that you were outmatched in, didn't you?" "Yeah, yeah I did." "You may think you're a scaredy cat, but you're more than that, you are my friend from beginning to end and don't you forget it."
Slowly tears began to form in Leomon's face and he stood up, "I will fight, not just to protect you Cathy, but show myself that I do have the strength to fight, I am Leomon, and I will roar with the heart of a lion!" and Catherine's Digivice and Leomon began to glow…
Leomon Digivolve to… TurboLeomon!
Leomon had transformed into a far more determined form, his eyes briming with energy and his body was in a more armoured body suit with four turbines on his arms and legs. His mane was more refined and at the same time fierce and he started to charge up his turbines and charged at Vikaralamon with a roar of "Vortex Kick!" and he leapt up and smashed at Vikaralamon's side again to no avail, however as another "Fusion Ball" was being charged TurboLeomon paid attention and punched the energy ball into the pig, and with a mutter of "Oh no" the energy ball exploded and thick black smoke spewed out of his mouth and he collapsed, ending the battle.
A cheer erupted from the heroes and the Digimon applauded TurboLeomon who looked a little sheepish but was proud none the same, but then the large phoenix chuckled and spoke, "That was impressive, but your power is nothing compared to us Sovereigns as well as all of our Devas." And suddenly they were surrounded by all the opponents who they had battled over the last few days and just before the battle began once more, "Halt." Hovering above them was a white crystalline being with red glowing eyes and every Digimon was kneeling before it.
Authors notes:
Name Change:
GrapLeomon – TurboLeomon; that name was tricky to figure, considering that the name and design do not make sense at and the Turbo in its name makes a lot more sense, also how do you pronounce that name? Is it GrapLeomon, Grapleomon, GrapleOmon? It confuses me so much.
