"Aaaaaaiiiiiiiiieeeeee!!" Mimi screamed and clung to Jyou. "Get it away get it away get it away!!"
Jyou tried to fight the massive blush that had popped up on his face. "Relax Mimi-chan, it's just a Kunemon..." he said.
"I don't CARE! It's scaring meeeeee!!" The little yellow bug Digimon had started rubbing against Mimi's leg. "GRAAAAAAHHH!!!"
"I'll get it, Mimi-chan!" Palmon said, jumping in front of her. "Poison Ivy!" She grabbed Kunemon and threw him out of the area.
"Arigatou, Palmon..." Mimi said.
"Ehh... Mimi-chan? Can't breathe..." Jyou muttered.
"Ack! Gomen nasai, Jyou-kun.." Mimi unlatched her arms from around his neck.
"Tch. I coulda taken that thing," Gomamon said with a huff.
"You're just mad that I got to it first..." Palmon said.
"Well, now that that's out of the way, let's go find the others," Mimi said, looking around. The four of them were in a brightly-colored forest. Just about the only thing that ruined the sight of the flowers and trees were the black clouds covering the sky. "This is nothing like when we were here last... it's so freaky..." A bolt of crimson lightning crashed down, splitting a tree in the area.
"Looks like a lightning storm is brewing! We'd better find cover," Jyou said, lifting Gomamon onto his shoulders. The four of them began to run, looking for shelter. They spotted a nearby cave and made a run for it just as another blast of lightning hit the ground.
********************************************************** **********
"Sora? Can you hear me?"
"Sora-chan! Wake up!"
"Oh dear... this isn't good..."
Sora opened her eyes and groaned. "What... happened?"
"Sora-chan! You're awake!" Biyomon shouted, throwing her wings around her friend.
"Hai... where are we?" she asked, looking around. The two of them were in a cave, along with Sakura and Pseudomon.
"We thought you'd never wake up," Sakura said, sighing in relief.
Sora smiled, then looked out the door of the cave. A streak of red lightning struck a nearby tree. "It's really bad out there..." she said.
Sakura stood up. "I sense something..."
Pseudomon hovered outside for a second. "Oh dear... minna, come out here and look at the sky!"
Sora and Sakura ran outside, Biyomon close behind. "Oi... this is really weird..." Sora said. "But what can we do about it...?"
********************************************************** *********
"Chiikomon..."
"Hai, Master?" The small vulture-like Digimon said, fluttering up to the blackness. "Want me to send out another of our warriors?"
"Hai... use Cloudramon..."
Just then, an Ogremon ran in the room. "Master, the prisoner has escaped!!"
"Nani?! How... Chiikomon..."
"... It wasn't me!"
"The Digiegg of Dreams is missing as well!"
"Shimatte! Chiikomon, go out and find the both of them. Don't bother coming back until you do!!" Armageddomon roared angrily.
"Yessir!" Chiikomon squawked and fluttered out of the fortress.
******************************************************** ***********
"Oh my... this isn't good at all..." Pseudomon said as the clouds began churning rapidly. A black vortex formed, red lightning crashing down everywhere.
"Aiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee!!"
"Nani, what was that?" Sakura asked, looking in the direction of the scream.
"It's Mimi-chan! And Jyou!" Sora said, running in their direction.
"Oi, look at this storm!" Jyou commented as the two small groups met up.
"It's almost as if it's radiating some powerful energy..." Sakura said.
Just then, a large mass of black clouds dropped down from the center of the vortex.
"Nani?! A twister!!" Biyomon shouted.
The clouds took the shape of a bird. Red eyes shone from its head. It circled the group, encasing them in a sphere of black smoke.
"Oh dear... that's Cloudramon. His Ruby Thunder and Black Hurricane attacks are extremely powerful... Why did we have to come upon such a powerful enemy at a time like this?!" Pseudomon cursed under her breath.
"Ack! This is scary... Let's go, minna!" Mimi shouted.
"Biyomon! Digivolve to... Birdramon!"
"Palmon! Digivolve to... Togemon!"
"Gomamon! Digivolve to... Ikkakumon!"
The three Champion-level Digimon charged at Cloudramon, Pseudomon at their sides.
"Meteor Wing!"
"Prickle Prickle Bang Bang!" (PikaChan's Note: XD XD XD)
"Harpoon Torpedo!"
"Cherry Blossom Blitz!"
Cloudramon easily dodged the attacks. He began sparking with electricity. "Ruby Thunder!" Bolts of red lightning hit every Digimon, causeing Togemon and Ikkakumon to de-digivolve.
Pseudomon picked herself up off of the ground to see a crimson streak heading toward Sakura. "Sakura-chan, LOOK OUT!!" Pseudomon quickly tackled her out of the way.
"Pseudomon?!" Sakura's eyes opened wide as Pseudomon began glowing with an aqua light.
"Pseudomon! Digivolve to..."
She became a bit larger, almost the size of Garurumon, and her fur turned white. Her stripes turned from pink to purple, and a red jewel appeared on her forehead. Her tail grew longer and poofed out. Her ears remained long and floppy.
"... Shiramon!"
Shiramon stood proud and tall, her tail wildly swishing.
"Wow! She's so kawaii!" Mimi said, grinning.
"I am Shiramon, Pseudomon's Champion form. I use powerful psychic energy in my Novakinesis and Psy Storm attacks," Shiramon said in her soft Australian-acented voice.
"Sugoi!" Sakura said.
"Birdramon! Let's take care of this freak of nature," Shiramon shouted, motioning at Cloudramon.
Cloudramon sneered. "Ruby Thunder!!"
Shiramon jumped in the air. The jewel on her forehead began glowing brightly. "Novakinesis!!" A multicolored ring of psychic energy flew from the jewel and wrapped around Cloudramon, restraining him.
Birdramon flew high up in the sky and released her attack. "Meteor Wing!!"
Cloudramon howled in pain, the Novakinesis ring breaking. He glared at the two Champion-level Digimon. "Black Hurricane!!" A surge of black electricity covered the area. The wind began blowing so hard that Birdramon was having a hard time staying in the air.
Shiramon growled, gritting her teeth against the black energy. "Psy Storm!" She countered with her own purple electrocity. It didn't doo much, however, as Cloudramon's attack quickly cancelled out Shiramon's. She finally gave out and de-digivolved to Pseudomon.
Birdramon managed to dodge most of the energy until Cloudramon aimed right at her. She fell to the ground with a loud thud. "Awk!"
"Birdramon! No!" Sora shouted, running over to her friend.
"Now to finish you off! Ruby Thunder!!" Cloudramon shouted, putting all of his power into his attack.
Sora threw herself in front of Birdramon just as the lightning reached them.
"Sora!!" Birdramon shouted.
Sora fell to her knees, badly injured. "Birdramon... are you okay?" she asked weakly.
"Sora-chan... you didn't have to do that..."
"It's okay... you need to save your energy to fight..." The NeoCrest of Love began glowing with a bright red light.
A streak of crimson electricity bolted down from the sky. Several more joined it, until it took the shape of a bird with a snakelike body. It flew around the area.
"Hey, it's... the Sky-Digi Card!" Sakura exlaimed.
"Sakura-chan! Sky can be countered with Thunder!" Pseudomon called.
Sakura nodded. "Thunder! Release and dispel!!"
The electric wolf came out from its place in the card. It stood before the Sky. Sky released a massive ball of fire. Thunder was too agile, however, and dodged it deftly. It gave a massive jolt to Sky, which then fell to the ground in defeat. Sakura started to raise her wand, but the card quicky transformed itself into a card. It caught on the wind and flew into Sora's hands.
She looked at the card and raised it up in the air. "Digital Card Digivolve!"
The symbol of Love shot through the card, briefly releasing the Sky. It flew around a bit, than into Birdramon.
"Birdramon! Card-Digivolve to..."
She grew a bit larger and her body grew longer. Her feet disappeared and her tail split into two. Rainbows shot from her back and changed her feathers from bright orange to many different colours. Seven diferent-coloured feathers sprouted from her forehead. She flew around a bit, a couple of multicolored feathers falling away with each flap of her wings.
"... Skydramon!"
"Wow... she's so pretty...!" Mimi said in awe.
"I've heard of Skydramon. They say she makes any rainbow that appears in the Digiworld, but I thought it was a myth! Her Sky Scorcher and Phoenix Feather Blizzard attacks are nearly lethal!" Pseudomon explained.
Skydramon and Cloudramon faced each other, silver eyes versus crimson. Skydramon flew high up in the sky. "Sky Scorcher!" she shouted, releasing a huge ball of multicoloured energy from her mouth.
Cloudramon countered with a Ruby Thunder, but Skydramon's attack canceled out Cloudramon's and he fell to the ground, easily defeated.
Skydramon hovered to the ground.
Sora ran up to her and hugged her around the neck. "Awesome job, Skydramon..." she said.
"I couldn't do it if it weren't for you, Sora-chan..." she said.
Mimi and Palmon, Jyou and Gomamon, and Sakura and Pseudomon all walked up to Skydramon. "Well done, Skydramon. You really showed that thing who's the boss of the skies!" Jyou commented.
Skydramon blushed a bit. "Aw, shucks..." Everyone laughed.
********************************************************* **********
"Meh. Why do *I* hafta go and find this stupid little pink pest anyway?" Chiikomon asked himself as he flew throughout the Electro Zone. "Why couldn't Lord Armageddomon come and look for her himself? It just doesn't make any sense..."
"Shimatte! I'm never going to find them!"
Lunamon set the Digiegg down and flopped on the steel-plated ground. She looked up at the sky, which was ridden with black clouds. "It doesn't get any worse than this... I'll never find Heza-chan..." Her blue eyes welled up with tears. She quickly wiped them away and stood up. "What am I doing, sitting here crying? I haven't lost all hope, I can still find her!" She looked down at the red-and-black Digitama, which wobbled a bit. "It might hatch soon... I'd better find somebody, and quick!"
********************************************************** **********
"Crap! My laptop's shorted out!" Koushirou cursed to himself.
"Let me fix it, Koushirou-kun," Tentomon said, hovering down to the portable computer. He put his claws to it and gave it a little shock. "Hm.. still nothing..."
"Just our luck..."
"Ack!" Takeru, who was sitting nearby, exclaimed as a jolt of electricity once again shocked his posterior. "I don't think I can take much more of this..." he said. "Patamon, you're lucky you can fly."
The flying pig grinned.
"Oh my, oh my, oh my... there's so much electricity everywhere..." Kamira said from nearby, looking a bit frightened.
"Patamon! Takaishi-san!" a sudden voice shouted.
Takeru looked up to see Tailmon running toward them frantically. "What is it, Tailmon?"
"Hikari-chan's hurt!" Tailmon said, her eyes watering. "She won't wake up!"
"Nani?!" Patamon shouted.
"Oh dear... where is she?" Kamira asked.
"Follow me!" Tailmon scampered off, the others in tow.
************************************************************* *******
Hikari slowly opened her eyes to see a large humanshape Digimon holding a thunderbolt standing over her. "Where... am I?"
"You're in the Electro Zone. I am the guardian, Zeusmon." it said.
Hikari sat up. "How did I get here? And what are all of thse burn marks?"
"Heh. No need to ask questions..." Zeusmon said. He raised his arm, ready to throw the thunderbolt down at her.
"STOP!!"
Zeusmon looked up to see Tailmon gnawing on his hand. He waved his arm rapidly, throwing her to the ground.
Koushirou, Kamira, and Takeru came running up with Tentomon and Patamon in tow. "We got here as fast as we could," Koushirou said, kneeling down next to Hikari. "Are you okay?"
"Hai, I think so... you guys got here just in time, I would have been fried!"
Koushirou popped open his laptop. "Zeusmon is an Ultimate level Digimon. He uses powerful lightning attacks to electrify his opponents. You don't want to mess with this guy..."
"Electric attacks, huh?" Tentomon said, hovering up to Zeusmon. "Super Shocker!"
"Lightning Bolt!" Zeusmon let out a powerful blast of lightning, knocking Tentomon to the ground.
"Itai..."
"This is crazy!" Koushirou said. "Tentomon, you have to Digivolve!"
"Tentomon! Digivolve to... Kabuterimon!"
Zeusmon and Kabuterimon face each other, both of them powering up strong electric attacks. "Lightning Bolt!"
"Electro Shocker!"
Zeusmon was a bit caught off-guard by Kabuterimon's attack, and he was knocked back a bit.
Koushirou, Kamira, Takeru, Hikari, Patamon, and Tailmon all piled onto Kabuterimon's back. "Okay, let's get out of here!" Takeru said as Kabuterimon took off through the Electro Zone. He flew through sevreal corridors lined with what appeared to be metal plates. Many small jolts of electricity jumped out at the flying insect, but he was too quick for them and dodged each one. Finally, he came to a small clearing.
"Woah... what IS that?" Koushirou wondered out loud. Before the group lay a giant field of snow.
"Nani... isn't snow supposed to block electricity?" Kamira asked.
"I think so..." Patamon said from atop Takeru's head. "I don't really know that much about those kind of things."
"Okay, let's go!" Koushirou said, instructing Kabuterimon to fly forward.
"Wait... something's not right... fly down to the ground, Kabuterimon," Kamira said. Kabuterimon did as instructed, and when they got to the ground, Kamira hopped off. She picked up a nearby piece of metal and threw it toward the field of snow. It seemed to hit an invisible wall, which gave off an immense amount of electricity. "Just as I thought... there's some kind of barrier there that shocks anything that touches it."
"Great, what now?" Tailmon asked.
"Wait... what's that sound?" Hikari asked, turning around to look behind them.
"If you little squirts think you can get away that easily, you've got another thing coming!" a voice said from inside a corridor. Zeusmon soon flew out of it and skidded to a stop in front of them. "Prepare to meet your maker!"
"STOP!" another sudden voice said from far away.
Everybody turned to look at a small, beat-up Digimon. It was black, with a yellow star for a face, and bright blue eyes. It was holding a red-and-black Digiegg.
"It's Lunamon!" Takeru shouted.
"Need some help, Kabuterimon?" Lunamon asked, running up to the group.
"Hai!"
"Now if I could Digivolve, it would be a lot easier... I guess we'll just have to make do with what we have!" Lunamon set the Digitama down. "Let's go!"
"Patamon! Digivolve to... Angemon!"
The three Champion Digimon and Lunamon all faced Zeusmon. "Four against one? Doesn't seem fair, but oh well! LIGHTNING BOLT!"
"Electro Shocker!"
"Hand of Fate!"
"Lightning Paw!"
"Star Dust!"
The four combined attacks had little effect on Zeusmon, but the other Digimon were blown back by his attack.
While the Digimon fought, Kamira had picked up the Digitama and was examining it. "This is very strange... I feel some sort of connection with this egg... but what is it?"
Koushirou finally managed to get his laptop working. "Let's have a look at it. It appears to be... ready to hatch?!"
Sure enough, the top of the egg began cracking off. Three spikelike growths popped out of each side. The top of it popped off, revealing a tiny Digimon. It had a white face, with a black v-shape curving behind it's ears. In it's mouth was a tiny red binky. "Hi! I'm called Gyamon!"
********************************************************* ***********
"Something weird's up ahead! I think I can sense a Digi-Card!" Syaoran said as he, Kagemon, and Taichi rode on PharaohGreymon throughout the Blue Arctic. Yamato and Heza flew at their side on ArcticGarurumon.
"Are you sure? The cold could be getting to you!" Heza said.
"What do I look like? I'm positive there's a Digi-Card up ahead!" The two Card-Ultimate Digimon ran forward even faster. FInally, after what seemed to be forever, they jumped over a large hill, to see three Champion level Digimon, one Ultimate, and a very familiar Rookie, in addition to Koushirou, Takeru, Hikari, and Kamira, who was holding what appeared to be a Fresh level Digimon.
"Yat-taa!" Taichi shouted. "Imoutochan!"
Hikari turned to look in the direction of the voice. "Oniisan!"
The other piled off of their Digimon. Taichi started to run to his younger sister, but recieved... somewhat of a shock. "Nani? What the hell?"
Koushirou sweatdropped. "Uh, oops... I guess I could have warned you guys about that barrier..."
"Barrier my foot! That thing's like an invisible wall!"
"I think we can take care of it!" ArcticGarurumon said. "Let's go, PharaohGreymon!"
"Solar Flare!"
"Northern Lights!"
"I'll help too!" Kagemon said. "Delta Beam!"
The three attacks merged together, and impacted on the invisible wall.
The other Digimon looked to it, then nodded at each other.
"Electro Shocker!"
"Hand of Fate!"
"Lightning Paw!"
"Moon Cannon!"
The other four attacks met with the first three, and the wall finally shattered like glass. "Sugoi!" Yamato shouted.
Meanwhile, Heza had been staring at the small Rookie Digimon. *L... Lunamon?*
Heza caught Lunamon's eye, and she stared back at the human. *Heza-chan...*
Heza smiled, her vision blurring slightly. "Lunamon... I can't believe it... Lunamon!!" Heza ran to her friend.
"Not so fast!" Zeusmon said. He swung his large arm around and knocked Heza back out of the way. She went flying back into the snow.
"Itai!" Heza said.
Yamato climbed back on ArcticGarurumon's back. "Go get him!"
ArcticGarurumon flew at Zeusmon. "Icicle Cyclone!" The storm of sharp ice bullets pelted Zeusmon, dealing a bit of damage.
"Curse you..."
Syaoran drew his sword. "Time card! Release!" Everything stopped, human and Digimon, nothing moved except for Syaoran and Kagemon. He looked at his Digimon partner. "Ready, buddy?"
"Ready as I'll ever be!" Kagemon answered.
"Let's go!" Syaoran charged at Zeusmon, his sword held high.
Kagemon spiraled around Zeusmon, powering up his attack. "Diamond Rain!" The attack hit him, but just barely scratched the Ultimate Digimon.
Syaoran leapt into the air, his sowrd pointed down at Zeusmon. However, the powers of the Time card wore off, and Zeusmon smacked Syaoran away before the sword even touched him. Syaoran landed in the snow next to Heza.
"Syaoran!" Kagemon shouted. He growled and turned to Zeusmon. "Bad idea. Very. Bad. Idea." He began to glow with a deep turquoise light.
"Kagemon! Digivolve to..."
He grew larger and turned white. His horns grew a lot longer, as well as his wings. His catlike tail turned into that of a sea serpent, and the jewel on his forehead disappeared, a star in its place.
"Chimaeramon!"
Koushirou peered at his laptop. "Chimaeramon is a powerful Champion Digimon. His attacks are Ancient Storm and Shirka's Eye! Better not mess with this Legendary Digimon."
"Oooh, you're smart. How about a little... test?" Zeusmon asked, turning to Koushirou. "If you get every one of my questions right, I will surrender. But if you miss a single one... you will come with me to Lord Armageddomon's fortress!"
"Koushirou-kun... I don't think this is such a good idea..." Kamira said, holding Gyamon.
"Relax, Kamira-chan... I know what I'm doing... Zeusmon, I accept your challenge. Hit me with everything you've got!"
"Fine... how about a little... Algebra?" Zeusmon's eyes flashed, and the world around he and Koushirou turned black. "Now... you will only have three questions... Answer them all right, and I will surrender."
"Bring it on!"
"What is he thinking? There's no way Zeusmon could surrender just by being beaten at a test..." Taichi said.
"They're both crazy, I say," Takeru said, sweatdropping.
Zeusmon popped three algebra problems into Koushirou's head. "Now... you have two minutes to solve all three of these..."
Koushirou was sweating badly. "Okay... first one is 63.5x + 19y..."
Zeusmon twitched. "Shimatte..."
"Second one... 5x² + 12x + 7..."
Zeusmon growled.
"Last one... 3x + 6yz - 18x²."
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!"
Kourhirou's NeoCrest of Knowledge began glowing with a bright purple light. The black area surrounding the two of them disappeared. Koushirou stood up tall.
All of a sudden, a jolt of electricity, bigger than any other, surged across the area. "Woah! What IS that?" Takeru shouted.
Syaoran stirred a bit and sat up. He looked at Heza, who was sitting next to him and holding her head. "Minna.. it's the Spark Digi-Card..."
"The Spark Digi-Card...?" Hikari asked.
"It can be countered with ice!" Syaoran looked at ArcticGarurumon.
Yamato looked at his partner. They nodded at each other. "Let's go!"
ArcticGarurumon zipped around, chasing after the Spark. "Northern Lights!" He fired a blast of blue-and-purple energy at the Spark, and it came up, faster than lightning, and shocked him. "I won't fall that easily! Icicle Cyclone!" The Spark flew away from him and hit the wall.
Syaoran started to raise his sword again, but the Spark formed itself into the card all on it's own. One again, it caught on the wind and flew to Koushirou's hands. Koushirou smiled at everyone, then looked at Kabuterimon. "Digital Card Digivolve!"
The Spark once again appeared out of the card, and flew into Kabuterimon.
"Kabuterimon! Card-Digivolve to..."
He shrunk to nearly the size of Gyamon, and shapeshifted into a dragonfly, of sorts. His claws grew a bit longer, and he turned gold.He put his claws together and created a large burst of electricity.
"... KingKabuterimon!"
KingKabuterimon buzzed around Koushirou's head. "Sugoi!" He looked at his laptop again. "Lessee... Don't let KingKabuterimon's looks fool you! His Thunderstorm and Spark Flash attacks are powerful and uses over ten thousand volts! SWEET!"
"Bah! You think a puny firely can get rid of me?" Zeusmon said with a laugh.
"Ano... you DID say that you would surrender if Koushirou outsmarted you..." Kamira said.
Zeusmon twitched a bit. "Uh... I was lying! C'mon, hit me with your best shot!"
"Ookay, fine then," KingKabuterimon said. He sounded a bit like Motimon. "Spark Flash!"
Zeusmon was then shocked with a great amount of electricity.
"Help me out, minna! Thunderstorm!"
"Solar Flare!"
"Northern Lights!"
"Hand of Fate!"
"Lightning Paw!"
"Star Dust!"
"Ancient Storm!"
Gyamon then started to glow. He changed forms, to a little white head with small feet, and a star on his forehead. A fan of white fur sprouted from the star. "Kubamon!"
"Oh my... he's so kawaii..." Kamira said, giggling.
Kubamon began to glow again. "Kubamon! Digivolve to..." His shape turned to that of a small brown rabbit. More fur sprouted out from his ears, and grew on his chest. A fluffy black tail sprouted from his rear, and a red jewel appeared on his forehead. "Ryouumon!"
"I can help you guys out too! My name's Ryouumon. My Midnight Spiral and Kawaii Flare attacks use dark energy, therefore I can take energy from my enemies and use it to power my attacks! And I'm so cute, too."
Kamira was amazed. "Is this... my Digimon?"
"Midnight Spiral!!" Ryouumon shouted, shooting a literal spiral from his forehead. It combined with all of the other attacks, and slammed into Zeusmon.
"Curse you! I may be defeated, but the battle has just begun!" Zeusmon dissolved.
KingKabuterimon de-digivolved to Motimon. "Woohoo! That was prooooooodigious!" Koushirou shouted, picking up his friend.
Heza stood up, still a bit wobbly from the blow she recieved earlier. She leaned against Yamato to steady herself for a moment, then stumbled over to Lunamon. "Lunamon..."
"Heza-chan..."
The two friends looked at each other for a few moments. Heza grinned, then picked up Lunamon and swung her around. Both of them were crying. "Lunamon! You have no idea how much I've missed you!!" she shouted, hugging her friend tightly.
"It's been so long! I can't even start to tell you how happy I am!!" Lunamon said, tears streaming down her face.
Their friends watched the two of them exchange remarks of love and friendship. Yamato crossed his arms and smiled. *Those two will be inseperable now... I feel so happy for Heza-chan...*
"Aaaaaaiiiiiiiiieeeeee!!" Mimi screamed and clung to Jyou. "Get it away get it away get it away!!"
Jyou tried to fight the massive blush that had popped up on his face. "Relax Mimi-chan, it's just a Kunemon..." he said.
"I don't CARE! It's scaring meeeeee!!" The little yellow bug Digimon had started rubbing against Mimi's leg. "GRAAAAAAHHH!!!"
"I'll get it, Mimi-chan!" Palmon said, jumping in front of her. "Poison Ivy!" She grabbed Kunemon and threw him out of the area.
"Arigatou, Palmon..." Mimi said.
"Ehh... Mimi-chan? Can't breathe..." Jyou muttered.
"Ack! Gomen nasai, Jyou-kun.." Mimi unlatched her arms from around his neck.
"Tch. I coulda taken that thing," Gomamon said with a huff.
"You're just mad that I got to it first..." Palmon said.
"Well, now that that's out of the way, let's go find the others," Mimi said, looking around. The four of them were in a brightly-colored forest. Just about the only thing that ruined the sight of the flowers and trees were the black clouds covering the sky. "This is nothing like when we were here last... it's so freaky..." A bolt of crimson lightning crashed down, splitting a tree in the area.
"Looks like a lightning storm is brewing! We'd better find cover," Jyou said, lifting Gomamon onto his shoulders. The four of them began to run, looking for shelter. They spotted a nearby cave and made a run for it just as another blast of lightning hit the ground.
********************************************************** **********
"Sora? Can you hear me?"
"Sora-chan! Wake up!"
"Oh dear... this isn't good..."
Sora opened her eyes and groaned. "What... happened?"
"Sora-chan! You're awake!" Biyomon shouted, throwing her wings around her friend.
"Hai... where are we?" she asked, looking around. The two of them were in a cave, along with Sakura and Pseudomon.
"We thought you'd never wake up," Sakura said, sighing in relief.
Sora smiled, then looked out the door of the cave. A streak of red lightning struck a nearby tree. "It's really bad out there..." she said.
Sakura stood up. "I sense something..."
Pseudomon hovered outside for a second. "Oh dear... minna, come out here and look at the sky!"
Sora and Sakura ran outside, Biyomon close behind. "Oi... this is really weird..." Sora said. "But what can we do about it...?"
********************************************************** *********
"Chiikomon..."
"Hai, Master?" The small vulture-like Digimon said, fluttering up to the blackness. "Want me to send out another of our warriors?"
"Hai... use Cloudramon..."
Just then, an Ogremon ran in the room. "Master, the prisoner has escaped!!"
"Nani?! How... Chiikomon..."
"... It wasn't me!"
"The Digiegg of Dreams is missing as well!"
"Shimatte! Chiikomon, go out and find the both of them. Don't bother coming back until you do!!" Armageddomon roared angrily.
"Yessir!" Chiikomon squawked and fluttered out of the fortress.
******************************************************** ***********
"Oh my... this isn't good at all..." Pseudomon said as the clouds began churning rapidly. A black vortex formed, red lightning crashing down everywhere.
"Aiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee!!"
"Nani, what was that?" Sakura asked, looking in the direction of the scream.
"It's Mimi-chan! And Jyou!" Sora said, running in their direction.
"Oi, look at this storm!" Jyou commented as the two small groups met up.
"It's almost as if it's radiating some powerful energy..." Sakura said.
Just then, a large mass of black clouds dropped down from the center of the vortex.
"Nani?! A twister!!" Biyomon shouted.
The clouds took the shape of a bird. Red eyes shone from its head. It circled the group, encasing them in a sphere of black smoke.
"Oh dear... that's Cloudramon. His Ruby Thunder and Black Hurricane attacks are extremely powerful... Why did we have to come upon such a powerful enemy at a time like this?!" Pseudomon cursed under her breath.
"Ack! This is scary... Let's go, minna!" Mimi shouted.
"Biyomon! Digivolve to... Birdramon!"
"Palmon! Digivolve to... Togemon!"
"Gomamon! Digivolve to... Ikkakumon!"
The three Champion-level Digimon charged at Cloudramon, Pseudomon at their sides.
"Meteor Wing!"
"Prickle Prickle Bang Bang!" (PikaChan's Note: XD XD XD)
"Harpoon Torpedo!"
"Cherry Blossom Blitz!"
Cloudramon easily dodged the attacks. He began sparking with electricity. "Ruby Thunder!" Bolts of red lightning hit every Digimon, causeing Togemon and Ikkakumon to de-digivolve.
Pseudomon picked herself up off of the ground to see a crimson streak heading toward Sakura. "Sakura-chan, LOOK OUT!!" Pseudomon quickly tackled her out of the way.
"Pseudomon?!" Sakura's eyes opened wide as Pseudomon began glowing with an aqua light.
"Pseudomon! Digivolve to..."
She became a bit larger, almost the size of Garurumon, and her fur turned white. Her stripes turned from pink to purple, and a red jewel appeared on her forehead. Her tail grew longer and poofed out. Her ears remained long and floppy.
"... Shiramon!"
Shiramon stood proud and tall, her tail wildly swishing.
"Wow! She's so kawaii!" Mimi said, grinning.
"I am Shiramon, Pseudomon's Champion form. I use powerful psychic energy in my Novakinesis and Psy Storm attacks," Shiramon said in her soft Australian-acented voice.
"Sugoi!" Sakura said.
"Birdramon! Let's take care of this freak of nature," Shiramon shouted, motioning at Cloudramon.
Cloudramon sneered. "Ruby Thunder!!"
Shiramon jumped in the air. The jewel on her forehead began glowing brightly. "Novakinesis!!" A multicolored ring of psychic energy flew from the jewel and wrapped around Cloudramon, restraining him.
Birdramon flew high up in the sky and released her attack. "Meteor Wing!!"
Cloudramon howled in pain, the Novakinesis ring breaking. He glared at the two Champion-level Digimon. "Black Hurricane!!" A surge of black electricity covered the area. The wind began blowing so hard that Birdramon was having a hard time staying in the air.
Shiramon growled, gritting her teeth against the black energy. "Psy Storm!" She countered with her own purple electrocity. It didn't doo much, however, as Cloudramon's attack quickly cancelled out Shiramon's. She finally gave out and de-digivolved to Pseudomon.
Birdramon managed to dodge most of the energy until Cloudramon aimed right at her. She fell to the ground with a loud thud. "Awk!"
"Birdramon! No!" Sora shouted, running over to her friend.
"Now to finish you off! Ruby Thunder!!" Cloudramon shouted, putting all of his power into his attack.
Sora threw herself in front of Birdramon just as the lightning reached them.
"Sora!!" Birdramon shouted.
Sora fell to her knees, badly injured. "Birdramon... are you okay?" she asked weakly.
"Sora-chan... you didn't have to do that..."
"It's okay... you need to save your energy to fight..." The NeoCrest of Love began glowing with a bright red light.
A streak of crimson electricity bolted down from the sky. Several more joined it, until it took the shape of a bird with a snakelike body. It flew around the area.
"Hey, it's... the Sky-Digi Card!" Sakura exlaimed.
"Sakura-chan! Sky can be countered with Thunder!" Pseudomon called.
Sakura nodded. "Thunder! Release and dispel!!"
The electric wolf came out from its place in the card. It stood before the Sky. Sky released a massive ball of fire. Thunder was too agile, however, and dodged it deftly. It gave a massive jolt to Sky, which then fell to the ground in defeat. Sakura started to raise her wand, but the card quicky transformed itself into a card. It caught on the wind and flew into Sora's hands.
She looked at the card and raised it up in the air. "Digital Card Digivolve!"
The symbol of Love shot through the card, briefly releasing the Sky. It flew around a bit, than into Birdramon.
"Birdramon! Card-Digivolve to..."
She grew a bit larger and her body grew longer. Her feet disappeared and her tail split into two. Rainbows shot from her back and changed her feathers from bright orange to many different colours. Seven diferent-coloured feathers sprouted from her forehead. She flew around a bit, a couple of multicolored feathers falling away with each flap of her wings.
"... Skydramon!"
"Wow... she's so pretty...!" Mimi said in awe.
"I've heard of Skydramon. They say she makes any rainbow that appears in the Digiworld, but I thought it was a myth! Her Sky Scorcher and Phoenix Feather Blizzard attacks are nearly lethal!" Pseudomon explained.
Skydramon and Cloudramon faced each other, silver eyes versus crimson. Skydramon flew high up in the sky. "Sky Scorcher!" she shouted, releasing a huge ball of multicoloured energy from her mouth.
Cloudramon countered with a Ruby Thunder, but Skydramon's attack canceled out Cloudramon's and he fell to the ground, easily defeated.
Skydramon hovered to the ground.
Sora ran up to her and hugged her around the neck. "Awesome job, Skydramon..." she said.
"I couldn't do it if it weren't for you, Sora-chan..." she said.
Mimi and Palmon, Jyou and Gomamon, and Sakura and Pseudomon all walked up to Skydramon. "Well done, Skydramon. You really showed that thing who's the boss of the skies!" Jyou commented.
Skydramon blushed a bit. "Aw, shucks..." Everyone laughed.
********************************************************* **********
"Meh. Why do *I* hafta go and find this stupid little pink pest anyway?" Chiikomon asked himself as he flew throughout the Electro Zone. "Why couldn't Lord Armageddomon come and look for her himself? It just doesn't make any sense..."
"Shimatte! I'm never going to find them!"
Lunamon set the Digiegg down and flopped on the steel-plated ground. She looked up at the sky, which was ridden with black clouds. "It doesn't get any worse than this... I'll never find Heza-chan..." Her blue eyes welled up with tears. She quickly wiped them away and stood up. "What am I doing, sitting here crying? I haven't lost all hope, I can still find her!" She looked down at the red-and-black Digitama, which wobbled a bit. "It might hatch soon... I'd better find somebody, and quick!"
********************************************************** **********
"Crap! My laptop's shorted out!" Koushirou cursed to himself.
"Let me fix it, Koushirou-kun," Tentomon said, hovering down to the portable computer. He put his claws to it and gave it a little shock. "Hm.. still nothing..."
"Just our luck..."
"Ack!" Takeru, who was sitting nearby, exclaimed as a jolt of electricity once again shocked his posterior. "I don't think I can take much more of this..." he said. "Patamon, you're lucky you can fly."
The flying pig grinned.
"Oh my, oh my, oh my... there's so much electricity everywhere..." Kamira said from nearby, looking a bit frightened.
"Patamon! Takaishi-san!" a sudden voice shouted.
Takeru looked up to see Tailmon running toward them frantically. "What is it, Tailmon?"
"Hikari-chan's hurt!" Tailmon said, her eyes watering. "She won't wake up!"
"Nani?!" Patamon shouted.
"Oh dear... where is she?" Kamira asked.
"Follow me!" Tailmon scampered off, the others in tow.
************************************************************* *******
Hikari slowly opened her eyes to see a large humanshape Digimon holding a thunderbolt standing over her. "Where... am I?"
"You're in the Electro Zone. I am the guardian, Zeusmon." it said.
Hikari sat up. "How did I get here? And what are all of thse burn marks?"
"Heh. No need to ask questions..." Zeusmon said. He raised his arm, ready to throw the thunderbolt down at her.
"STOP!!"
Zeusmon looked up to see Tailmon gnawing on his hand. He waved his arm rapidly, throwing her to the ground.
Koushirou, Kamira, and Takeru came running up with Tentomon and Patamon in tow. "We got here as fast as we could," Koushirou said, kneeling down next to Hikari. "Are you okay?"
"Hai, I think so... you guys got here just in time, I would have been fried!"
Koushirou popped open his laptop. "Zeusmon is an Ultimate level Digimon. He uses powerful lightning attacks to electrify his opponents. You don't want to mess with this guy..."
"Electric attacks, huh?" Tentomon said, hovering up to Zeusmon. "Super Shocker!"
"Lightning Bolt!" Zeusmon let out a powerful blast of lightning, knocking Tentomon to the ground.
"Itai..."
"This is crazy!" Koushirou said. "Tentomon, you have to Digivolve!"
"Tentomon! Digivolve to... Kabuterimon!"
Zeusmon and Kabuterimon face each other, both of them powering up strong electric attacks. "Lightning Bolt!"
"Electro Shocker!"
Zeusmon was a bit caught off-guard by Kabuterimon's attack, and he was knocked back a bit.
Koushirou, Kamira, Takeru, Hikari, Patamon, and Tailmon all piled onto Kabuterimon's back. "Okay, let's get out of here!" Takeru said as Kabuterimon took off through the Electro Zone. He flew through sevreal corridors lined with what appeared to be metal plates. Many small jolts of electricity jumped out at the flying insect, but he was too quick for them and dodged each one. Finally, he came to a small clearing.
"Woah... what IS that?" Koushirou wondered out loud. Before the group lay a giant field of snow.
"Nani... isn't snow supposed to block electricity?" Kamira asked.
"I think so..." Patamon said from atop Takeru's head. "I don't really know that much about those kind of things."
"Okay, let's go!" Koushirou said, instructing Kabuterimon to fly forward.
"Wait... something's not right... fly down to the ground, Kabuterimon," Kamira said. Kabuterimon did as instructed, and when they got to the ground, Kamira hopped off. She picked up a nearby piece of metal and threw it toward the field of snow. It seemed to hit an invisible wall, which gave off an immense amount of electricity. "Just as I thought... there's some kind of barrier there that shocks anything that touches it."
"Great, what now?" Tailmon asked.
"Wait... what's that sound?" Hikari asked, turning around to look behind them.
"If you little squirts think you can get away that easily, you've got another thing coming!" a voice said from inside a corridor. Zeusmon soon flew out of it and skidded to a stop in front of them. "Prepare to meet your maker!"
"STOP!" another sudden voice said from far away.
Everybody turned to look at a small, beat-up Digimon. It was black, with a yellow star for a face, and bright blue eyes. It was holding a red-and-black Digiegg.
"It's Lunamon!" Takeru shouted.
"Need some help, Kabuterimon?" Lunamon asked, running up to the group.
"Hai!"
"Now if I could Digivolve, it would be a lot easier... I guess we'll just have to make do with what we have!" Lunamon set the Digitama down. "Let's go!"
"Patamon! Digivolve to... Angemon!"
The three Champion Digimon and Lunamon all faced Zeusmon. "Four against one? Doesn't seem fair, but oh well! LIGHTNING BOLT!"
"Electro Shocker!"
"Hand of Fate!"
"Lightning Paw!"
"Star Dust!"
The four combined attacks had little effect on Zeusmon, but the other Digimon were blown back by his attack.
While the Digimon fought, Kamira had picked up the Digitama and was examining it. "This is very strange... I feel some sort of connection with this egg... but what is it?"
Koushirou finally managed to get his laptop working. "Let's have a look at it. It appears to be... ready to hatch?!"
Sure enough, the top of the egg began cracking off. Three spikelike growths popped out of each side. The top of it popped off, revealing a tiny Digimon. It had a white face, with a black v-shape curving behind it's ears. In it's mouth was a tiny red binky. "Hi! I'm called Gyamon!"
********************************************************* ***********
"Something weird's up ahead! I think I can sense a Digi-Card!" Syaoran said as he, Kagemon, and Taichi rode on PharaohGreymon throughout the Blue Arctic. Yamato and Heza flew at their side on ArcticGarurumon.
"Are you sure? The cold could be getting to you!" Heza said.
"What do I look like? I'm positive there's a Digi-Card up ahead!" The two Card-Ultimate Digimon ran forward even faster. FInally, after what seemed to be forever, they jumped over a large hill, to see three Champion level Digimon, one Ultimate, and a very familiar Rookie, in addition to Koushirou, Takeru, Hikari, and Kamira, who was holding what appeared to be a Fresh level Digimon.
"Yat-taa!" Taichi shouted. "Imoutochan!"
Hikari turned to look in the direction of the voice. "Oniisan!"
The other piled off of their Digimon. Taichi started to run to his younger sister, but recieved... somewhat of a shock. "Nani? What the hell?"
Koushirou sweatdropped. "Uh, oops... I guess I could have warned you guys about that barrier..."
"Barrier my foot! That thing's like an invisible wall!"
"I think we can take care of it!" ArcticGarurumon said. "Let's go, PharaohGreymon!"
"Solar Flare!"
"Northern Lights!"
"I'll help too!" Kagemon said. "Delta Beam!"
The three attacks merged together, and impacted on the invisible wall.
The other Digimon looked to it, then nodded at each other.
"Electro Shocker!"
"Hand of Fate!"
"Lightning Paw!"
"Moon Cannon!"
The other four attacks met with the first three, and the wall finally shattered like glass. "Sugoi!" Yamato shouted.
Meanwhile, Heza had been staring at the small Rookie Digimon. *L... Lunamon?*
Heza caught Lunamon's eye, and she stared back at the human. *Heza-chan...*
Heza smiled, her vision blurring slightly. "Lunamon... I can't believe it... Lunamon!!" Heza ran to her friend.
"Not so fast!" Zeusmon said. He swung his large arm around and knocked Heza back out of the way. She went flying back into the snow.
"Itai!" Heza said.
Yamato climbed back on ArcticGarurumon's back. "Go get him!"
ArcticGarurumon flew at Zeusmon. "Icicle Cyclone!" The storm of sharp ice bullets pelted Zeusmon, dealing a bit of damage.
"Curse you..."
Syaoran drew his sword. "Time card! Release!" Everything stopped, human and Digimon, nothing moved except for Syaoran and Kagemon. He looked at his Digimon partner. "Ready, buddy?"
"Ready as I'll ever be!" Kagemon answered.
"Let's go!" Syaoran charged at Zeusmon, his sword held high.
Kagemon spiraled around Zeusmon, powering up his attack. "Diamond Rain!" The attack hit him, but just barely scratched the Ultimate Digimon.
Syaoran leapt into the air, his sowrd pointed down at Zeusmon. However, the powers of the Time card wore off, and Zeusmon smacked Syaoran away before the sword even touched him. Syaoran landed in the snow next to Heza.
"Syaoran!" Kagemon shouted. He growled and turned to Zeusmon. "Bad idea. Very. Bad. Idea." He began to glow with a deep turquoise light.
"Kagemon! Digivolve to..."
He grew larger and turned white. His horns grew a lot longer, as well as his wings. His catlike tail turned into that of a sea serpent, and the jewel on his forehead disappeared, a star in its place.
"Chimaeramon!"
Koushirou peered at his laptop. "Chimaeramon is a powerful Champion Digimon. His attacks are Ancient Storm and Shirka's Eye! Better not mess with this Legendary Digimon."
"Oooh, you're smart. How about a little... test?" Zeusmon asked, turning to Koushirou. "If you get every one of my questions right, I will surrender. But if you miss a single one... you will come with me to Lord Armageddomon's fortress!"
"Koushirou-kun... I don't think this is such a good idea..." Kamira said, holding Gyamon.
"Relax, Kamira-chan... I know what I'm doing... Zeusmon, I accept your challenge. Hit me with everything you've got!"
"Fine... how about a little... Algebra?" Zeusmon's eyes flashed, and the world around he and Koushirou turned black. "Now... you will only have three questions... Answer them all right, and I will surrender."
"Bring it on!"
"What is he thinking? There's no way Zeusmon could surrender just by being beaten at a test..." Taichi said.
"They're both crazy, I say," Takeru said, sweatdropping.
Zeusmon popped three algebra problems into Koushirou's head. "Now... you have two minutes to solve all three of these..."
Koushirou was sweating badly. "Okay... first one is 63.5x + 19y..."
Zeusmon twitched. "Shimatte..."
"Second one... 5x² + 12x + 7..."
Zeusmon growled.
"Last one... 3x + 6yz - 18x²."
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!"
Kourhirou's NeoCrest of Knowledge began glowing with a bright purple light. The black area surrounding the two of them disappeared. Koushirou stood up tall.
All of a sudden, a jolt of electricity, bigger than any other, surged across the area. "Woah! What IS that?" Takeru shouted.
Syaoran stirred a bit and sat up. He looked at Heza, who was sitting next to him and holding her head. "Minna.. it's the Spark Digi-Card..."
"The Spark Digi-Card...?" Hikari asked.
"It can be countered with ice!" Syaoran looked at ArcticGarurumon.
Yamato looked at his partner. They nodded at each other. "Let's go!"
ArcticGarurumon zipped around, chasing after the Spark. "Northern Lights!" He fired a blast of blue-and-purple energy at the Spark, and it came up, faster than lightning, and shocked him. "I won't fall that easily! Icicle Cyclone!" The Spark flew away from him and hit the wall.
Syaoran started to raise his sword again, but the Spark formed itself into the card all on it's own. One again, it caught on the wind and flew to Koushirou's hands. Koushirou smiled at everyone, then looked at Kabuterimon. "Digital Card Digivolve!"
The Spark once again appeared out of the card, and flew into Kabuterimon.
"Kabuterimon! Card-Digivolve to..."
He shrunk to nearly the size of Gyamon, and shapeshifted into a dragonfly, of sorts. His claws grew a bit longer, and he turned gold.He put his claws together and created a large burst of electricity.
"... KingKabuterimon!"
KingKabuterimon buzzed around Koushirou's head. "Sugoi!" He looked at his laptop again. "Lessee... Don't let KingKabuterimon's looks fool you! His Thunderstorm and Spark Flash attacks are powerful and uses over ten thousand volts! SWEET!"
"Bah! You think a puny firely can get rid of me?" Zeusmon said with a laugh.
"Ano... you DID say that you would surrender if Koushirou outsmarted you..." Kamira said.
Zeusmon twitched a bit. "Uh... I was lying! C'mon, hit me with your best shot!"
"Ookay, fine then," KingKabuterimon said. He sounded a bit like Motimon. "Spark Flash!"
Zeusmon was then shocked with a great amount of electricity.
"Help me out, minna! Thunderstorm!"
"Solar Flare!"
"Northern Lights!"
"Hand of Fate!"
"Lightning Paw!"
"Star Dust!"
"Ancient Storm!"
Gyamon then started to glow. He changed forms, to a little white head with small feet, and a star on his forehead. A fan of white fur sprouted from the star. "Kubamon!"
"Oh my... he's so kawaii..." Kamira said, giggling.
Kubamon began to glow again. "Kubamon! Digivolve to..." His shape turned to that of a small brown rabbit. More fur sprouted out from his ears, and grew on his chest. A fluffy black tail sprouted from his rear, and a red jewel appeared on his forehead. "Ryouumon!"
"I can help you guys out too! My name's Ryouumon. My Midnight Spiral and Kawaii Flare attacks use dark energy, therefore I can take energy from my enemies and use it to power my attacks! And I'm so cute, too."
Kamira was amazed. "Is this... my Digimon?"
"Midnight Spiral!!" Ryouumon shouted, shooting a literal spiral from his forehead. It combined with all of the other attacks, and slammed into Zeusmon.
"Curse you! I may be defeated, but the battle has just begun!" Zeusmon dissolved.
KingKabuterimon de-digivolved to Motimon. "Woohoo! That was prooooooodigious!" Koushirou shouted, picking up his friend.
Heza stood up, still a bit wobbly from the blow she recieved earlier. She leaned against Yamato to steady herself for a moment, then stumbled over to Lunamon. "Lunamon..."
"Heza-chan..."
The two friends looked at each other for a few moments. Heza grinned, then picked up Lunamon and swung her around. Both of them were crying. "Lunamon! You have no idea how much I've missed you!!" she shouted, hugging her friend tightly.
"It's been so long! I can't even start to tell you how happy I am!!" Lunamon said, tears streaming down her face.
Their friends watched the two of them exchange remarks of love and friendship. Yamato crossed his arms and smiled. *Those two will be inseperable now... I feel so happy for Heza-chan...*
