Digimon Tamers: Escape from Underworld

Chapter 3- A Perfect Attack. Antiramon and Catramon Team Up!

In the cave on the underworld, Himura was still looking at the card that Shuichon gave to him and his digivice. He never thought that Inumon's evolved form would be so strong. He could still see in his mind the image of Inumon evolving to Hell Inumon and Shuichon smiling at him, saying her name before she left.

"Why do I still think about that young Chinese girl? Should I have told her about what happened to me four years ago?" Himura asked himself. Suddenly, Inumon came out of no where and padded up to his side, answering his question.

"The choice of telling her or not is yours to make, Himura. But I think you should be her friend, as well as that weird boy's." Said Inumon to his human partner.

"Do you mean the French Boy? No way! I could be friends with Shuichon but never of that French Boy and that little cat of his." Himura said angrily. Inumon smirked in amusement at his tamer.

"Really? So, why did you call the Chinese girl her real name all of a sudden? It sounds like someone was hit by Cupidmon's arrow." Said Inumon, teasing Himura. The boy blushed.

"What do you mean by that, Inumon!?" Himura cried. He was looking flustered as Inumon fixed him with another dark smile.

"Think carefully, Himura. Do you realize that Cerberumon is not that girl's partner, only the bunny is, right? That means he must like Shuichon very much to be with her without killing her original partner. The same would happen if she met that French Boy. It's better you go after her than mope around here." Inumon told him. Himura narrowed his eyes at his digimon partner.

"Why should I go after her?"

"Do you want end up with two rivals for that girl's heart?" Himura fell back in exasperation as Inumon continued, "It's better we hurry up before she meets him. Let's go!" said Inumon as he was taking Himura onto his shoulder.

"That's the other side of Inumon that I never knew... " Thought Himura with a sweat drop on his head.

Meanwhile in the pyramid, Kuzuhamon was looking through the flames before her. The images of Lopmon and Inumon evolving to their adult levels as they defeated Archnemon were visible, and it was infuriating her.

"That girl might destroy my empire! I have to kill her before she makes her digimon and that other boy's digimon evolve to the perfect and ultimate levels!" Thought Kuzuhamon as she glared at Shuichon's images.

In the woods, Shuichon, Cerberumon, and Lopmon were still walking through the wooden area. Shuichon knelt all of a sudden, and Lopmon and Cerberumon stopped to see if she was ok.

"Are you all right, Lee-sama?" asked Cerberumon worriedly.

"I'm okay. I'm just tired, Cerberumon. And don't call me Lee-sama, okay? Call me Shuichon please." Said Shuichon as the three-headed dog nodded to her.

"I wonder how the others in the real world are doing? I'm pretty sure they will be worried sick about us by now." Remarked Lopmon as Shuichon sighed in frustration.

"Did you have remind me about that, Lopmon? The guys on the earth must be so worried about us. And it already seems impossible for us to get back." Shuichon said as she was lying in the ground, looking at the gray sky of underworld.

"Forgive me, Lee.... I mean, Shuichon. If there were a chance to send you back to your world it would probably be at the pyramid; there are gates there that connect all the parts of digital worlds together. But while she rules here, there's no way to no human back to the real world." Said Cerberumon.

Then, they heard a strange noise. The earth began to quake. They looked at the same direction and all they could see is a large shadow.

Meanwhile, Inumon and Himura were still looking for Shuichon and the digimon. Himura couldn't still believe that Inumon had convinced him to go after them. Inumon told Himura that something was coming to their direction. They realized it was Shuichon riding on Cerberumon-- and she was holding a wounded Lopmon! Cerberumon was running like crazy as they crossed paths with Inumon and Himura.

"RUN!" yelled Shuichon to them Himura and Inumon they both looked confused.

"Run from what?" asked Himura quickly. He and Inumon looked at behind them and saw a huge Metalgreymon running after the escaping girl and Digimon. Inumon got Himura back on his shoulder and they began to run away from Metalgreymon.

While they were running away, they didn't realize the existence of the hole directly before them. They fell in it and blacked out while Metalgreymon had passed above them, still running.

Sometime later, a tiny wildcat creature came out from behind the forest brush. She looked all the direction to make sure it was ok.

"Détendez, Phillipe! He's already gone." Said the creature.

From the brush emerged a young boy with short light brown hair that flowed in small waves. He had shining, emerald-green eyes, and he looked to be about eleven years old. He was wearing a pair of jeans, a white shirt and a sleeveless brown jacket. His hands were covered in black biker's gloves.

"C'est bon, Jaguarmon. Let's look for food while that crazy Metalgreymon is out." The boy instructed as his digimon nodded to him. Then, they heard a noise and they decided to follow the sound.

"Be careful with your claws, Cerberumon." Said a female voice.

"Sorry, did I hurt anyone?" asked a male voice.

"Nope, I only my back from the fall." Said another male voice.

Phillipe and Jaguarmon looked into the hole and they saw three digimon and two humans. Inumon realized that it was Phillipe and Jaguarmon. Inumon jumped out of the hole and looked at the young boy and the catlike creature.

"Hello again. Can you help me to get my partner, the girl and her digimon out from the hole, please?" said Inumon. The only thing that Inumon and Jaguarmon could do was nod.

After helping them to get out from the hole, the boy introduced himself as Sagara Phillipe and his digimon partner Jaguarmon. He explained to them that his mother was French and his father Japanese. He even showed his d-arc; it was white and purple. He told also to them he was in the underworld with his digimon partner about a few months. When they came there, they met Himura & Inumon but they didn't care about teaming up.

"So there's no way to get out here?" asked Phillipe as Himura began to laugh.

"French boy, I've been here for about four years. If there's a way to get out of here, I would have left by now." Himura chuckled to Phillipe.

"All that trouble is because that Kuzuhamon is in power after Anubimon was killed in the war with the D-reaper?" asked Jaguarmon as Cerberumon nodded.

"Anubimon was the ruler of this place. My friends and I were responsible for guarding the gates of hell to make sure that no one could get in and out without any authorization from Anubimon or the other holy beasts. I wish that Anubimon was still alive." Said Cerberumon sadly as Shuichon tried to comfort him by patting his side.

Phillipe fell silent for a long moment, thinking. He studied the situation carefully. All this trouble happened because Anubimon is gone and Kuzuhamon took the advantage, so she's now ruling the place. He puzzled over it for a little while longer and got a sudden idea.

"Cerberumon, I think you're the only hope we have to get out here and fix the mess Kuzuhamon made." Said Phillipe as Cerberumon and the others looked at him in confusion.

"Think, you guys! Kuzuhamon is in power only because Anubimon was gone, right? That means Kuzuhamon can't fight against Anubimon in person." Phillipe began, but the others were still confused. Shuichon slowly began to understand what he meant.

" I remember! My brother told me once that Cerberumon could evolve to Anubimon." Said Shuichon as Himura's jaw dropped in his surprise.

"Wait French Boy! Are you saying the three-headed dog is the answer to all of our problems?" asked Himura as Phillipe nodded yes.

Cerberumon wasn't sure. He was and still is loyal to his master, Anubimon. He never would dare to take his place, even if he were chosen as his successor in case anything happened to him...

*Flashback*

Cerberumon entered the throne room where Anubimon, his master, was residing. Anubimon had summoned him because he wanted to talk to about something very important.

"Did you call me, Anubimon-sama?" Asked the three-headed dog nervously as Anubimon looked at him.

"Yes, my friend. I called you because I have something to talk to you about. You know the problems that the kingdom of the four holy beasts is having, right?" Cerberumon nodded. " Well, soon I will join them to help fight against that unknown enemy. If I don't come back, you will be the next one to rule this place." Said Anubimon as Cerberumon gasped in surprise.

"Anubimon-sama, I can't take your place!" protested Cerberumon.

"Cerberumon, I know you're the most loyal servant I have ever had, and I believe that after this war I will not come back here. If this happens, I want you to go to the secret chamber and get the red pyramid. The red pyramid is a tiny red crystal that makes any digimon to evolve to their ultimate form. If there's a digimon that can rule well this world like me, that digimon is you, Cerberumon." Said Anubimon.

*End of Flashback*

Cerberumon remembered the last words of his master. He had trusted Cerberumon to be the next ruler of the underworld. He was still loyal to Anubimon and he never would dare to take his pace even if it was his last wish. But if he would be the new ruler, he could send Shuichon back to her family. Cerberumon wasn't sure what he should do.

"Cerberumon, what you want do? I don't want force you to do anything that you don't want to do." Said Shuichon to Cerberumon. The digimon looked at the girl with such sadness in his eyes that it broke her heart.

"I don't know what I should do. I must confess that before he was gone, Anubimon had chosen me to be his successor in case he never got back after the D-reaper war was over. He even left me special a device, which I could use to evolve into my ultimate form. But I am still loyal to him and could I never take his place, even it was his last wish." Said Cerberumon to them. They never imagined that the Digimon was so loyal to the ancient ruler of the underworld.

"I understand that you are very loyal to the ancient ruler of the Underworld, Cerberumon. But if Anubimon chose you to be his successor, he must trust you very much. Just like in the way you're loyal to him. Cerberumon, I don't mean to force you but you have to admit the things are out of control here. Look at Himura, he wears those bandages to hide scars of the violence of the digimon that had attacked him the moment he was brought here. It was a miracle he had survived when I rescued him. Shuichon was almost raped by a group of Garurumon. I can't tell about Phillipe because I don't know what happened to when he was brought here, but the only thing I can tell you is that many humans, mostly children, were killed by digimon when they were brought here. If we don't do something about Kuzuhamon, she's going to continue kidnapping human to torture them. She feeds off tormented souls, that why she's kidnapping humans. What do you say, Cerberumon?" said Inumon to Cerberumon after finishing his small speech.

Deep down, he agreed with Inumon. Cerberumon was surprised when he found out that Shuichon was almost raped by a group of digimon. Then, he made the fateful decision at last. He decided that he would honor Anubimon's memory and help them return to their world. Shuichon thanked to Cerberumon with a hug. Cerberumon blushed. "It is the least I can do for you, Shuichon. After all, you saved my life as well."

"I told ya that Cerberumon was in love with her, didn't I?" whispered Inumon to Himura.

"Shut up, Inumon." Himura whispered back, getting angry.

"But first thing we need to do something about Metalgreymon. That thing has more muscle and power than a brain." Said Jaguarmon to them.

"Not necessary, Jaguarmon. Why should we care about Metalgreymon first?" Phillipe asked his digimon partner.

"Because that huge idiot digimon guards a bridge. The bridge is the only way to go to the west. I heard about the Anubis Pyramid is in the west, near the mountains, right Cerberumon?" asked Jaguarmon as Cerberumon nodded.

"Can you see that hug mountain in the west?" the tamers and the digimon looked at the same direction that Cerberumon was pointing in. It was very far away from them but they could see a huge black mountain sitting along the horizon. "That's there where the pyramid is." Said Cerberumon

"So, that's the plan: we defeat Metalgreymon, we go to the Anubis Pyramid, we make Cerberumon evolve, and we defeat Kuzuhamon and go back home. It will be hard to defeat Metalgreymon with only a weak perfect, two adults, and a child level." Remarked Himura as Shuichon corrected him.

"You mean, three adults. I have two evolution cards. I can give one to Sagara-san to make Jaguarmon to evolve to her adult level." Said Shuichon to the others. Jaguarmon was happy. She never thought that she would be able to evolve like the others!

"But Shuichon, I have to agree with Himura. Because of the battle with Marine Devimon, Cerberumon lost most of his strength. He must absorb the data of at least one perfect to get his full strength back. Metalgreymon is a pretty strong digimon, unlike the other perfects we defeated before. Defeating him with three adults will be hard. We need a plan." Lopmon decided.

"Shuichon, can I see your cards? We need to know what kind of cards you have. Maybe we have a little chance to defeat Metalgreymon." Said Phillipe as Shuichon gave him her cards.

Metalgreymon was in the front of a bridge. Then he saw the humans, as well as the three digimon accompanying them. Cerberumon was hiding in the bushes in case something went wrong in Phillipe's plan.

Metalgreymon was growling at them as Shuichon, Phillipe and Himura got the evolution cards.

*Card Slash Scenes*

"Card Slash! Super Evolution plug In-S!"

* Evolution scenes*

"Lopmon Shinka ... " then, his body began to change. It was growing up. It was wearing some Chinese fighter's clothes with red gloves, and in his hand was holding a pair of sharp blades.

"TURUIEMON!!" Yelled the adult digimon.

"Inumon Shinka ... " then, his body began to change. The color of his hair was still the same, black and brown, but now he was in four. His long tail was gone, there was a pair of horns on his head, and three bony slabs sat on the back of his neck.

" HELL INUMON!!" Yelled the adult digimon.

"Jaguarmon développé ... " then, her body began to change. Her size was much bigger than before, there's a long with hair around of her neck and she now had a pair of saber-toothed fangs that hung over her bottom lip.

"SABER JAGUARMON!!" Yelled the new adult digimon.

The trio of adult Digimon glared at their enemy. Hell Inumon used his Black Flames on Metalgreymon while Saber Jaguarmon was using her electric attack to stun him. Turuiemon used his attack on Metalgreymon's face. Metalgreymon stepped back, just like Phillipe had thought he would.

"Alright, It's working! Now let's use more power. Metalgreymon will fall off of the cliff." Said Phillipe as Himura and Shuichon got the cards ready to slash.

*Card Slash scenes*

"Card Slash!" Himura yelled, bringing his hands up in an arc as he slashed the card. "Super Charger!"

Shuichon held up her D-Ark. "Card Slash! Power Charger!"

"Black Flames!" yelled Hell Inumon.

" Bunny blade! (I don't know the original attack. If someone does, please email me)" Cried the Turuiemon

Metalgreymon stepped back once more, but he didn't look too happy. Cerberumon realized what he was going to do.

"Get out the way!!" yelled Cerberumon running towards the tamers.

Metalgreymon threw a pair of missiles to finish the humans off, but Cerberumon pushed them away as the weapons exploded with a bang. The other digimon looked at their tamers worriedly.

"Are you alright?" asked Turuiemon.

"We're okay. Man, I knew we would need a blue card to defeat this guy." Said Shuichon as the card in her hand changed to a blue card. The card in Phillipe's hand changed as well. They looked each other and nodded confidently, each knowing exactly what had to be done next.

*Card Slash scenes*

"Card Slash! Matrix Evolution!" yelled Shuichon and Phillipe in unison.

"Turuiemon Shinka..." The body of Turuiemon began to change. He was considerably taller and large than before. He was wearing holy armor now, his eyes flashing ruby red.

"ANTIRAMON!"

"Saber Jaguarmon développé..." her body began to change as well. Her body was now humanoid, while retaining most of her cat features. Her size was to that of an adult woman. She was wearing white body armor with some gold parts. She was holding a large scythe in her hand, looking ready for action.

"CATRAMON!"

The Tamers' eyes widened in surprise-- especially Shuichon's, as she had thought she would see her partner's perfect form again. Phillipe, on the other hand, was surprised to see his partner's adult and perfect forms for the first time.

"Now it's our turn to strike. Let's go, Catramon." Said Antiramon to Catramon as she nodded.

"Treasure Axe!" said Antiramon as his arms became axes and slashed Metalgreymon.

Metalgreymon yelped in pain. He was about to throw another round of missiles, but Catramon stopped him with her own powerful attack.

"Treasure Scythe!" Yelled Catramon as with a bright beam of light form her weapon obliterated Metalgreymon and cause data to fly into the air.

Cerberumon absorbed the Metalgreymon's data. After he was finished, he realized his wounds were gone and now he was feeling much stronger than he had been before. Antiramon and Catramon reverted back to their child levels, exhausted. Hell Inumon was still in his adult level.

"Thank you. I'm feeling much better." Said Cerberumon to the child level digimon.

"We must thank you for saving our tamers, Cerberumon." Said Lopmon to Cerberumon as he smiled.

"Well, nice work guys, now let's go to the west! Let's defeat Kuzuhamon and go back home." Said Shuichon as the others agreed with her, cheering enthusiastically.

When they began to walk to the west, Hell Inumon realized that his partner wasn't very happy. He knew why, as he felt the same way his human partner did. Himura felt like he was failing as a Tamer, simply because he had been unable to evolve Hell Inumon to his perfect form.
