Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Tale of the Original DigiDestined ❯ First Battle ( Chapter 3 )

"Let's go!" Brian declares, fist raised into the air.

"Who made you leader?" Samantha demands hotly, "Jesse is the one in charge here."

"If Brian has any good ideas, I'm always willing to listen," Jesse says. He starts walking out of the cave.

"Hey, wait for me Jesse!" Chosenmon cries out, running after Jesse as fast as his little legs could move him. Jesse stops and picks up the little Digimon.

"You can't fight like this," Jesse tells Chosenmon, "at least, that's what I understand from what Centarumon and Leomon told us."

"I can still fight!" Chosenmon says defiantly, "a Digimon can fight no matter what level they are on. Even a Baby Digimon can fight. It probably won't win, but it can fight."

"Do you think you are strong enough to defeat Vilemon?" Jesse asks.

"Well, you guys are supposed to be able to enable Digimon to digivolve, so maybe we can," Chosenmon says.

"But we don't know if they are right or not," Jesse says. "

Well, we can always hope he's right," Chosenmon says, "and even if they aren't right, there are 5 of us and only one of Vilemon."

"Is that supposed to comfort me?" Jesse demands, "Vilemon is at a higher level than you guys."

"Don't you know that evil can never win?" Chosenmon asks.

"Chosenmon, that's in fairy tales," Jesse says, "evil wins quite often in real life."

"But in the end, evil will not win," Chosenmon says adamantly.

"And who says that fighting Vilemon won't be the end of us?" Jesse demands, "I mean, I'm new to this. I was simply supposed to be in charge of this group at camp and now we're here in a completely different place and we have to save it against forces we cannot even comprehend!"

"Yeah, but maybe if we defeat this evil we can get to go home," James says hopefully.

"Why would you want to leave?" Lipomon asks, "the Digi World will be a great place once the bad guys are beaten." "And how do you know that?" Jesse demands.

"Man, you sure are cynical for being here for such a short time," Daniel remarks.

"Come on, lets go and get this over with so we can go home," Jesse mutters. The other humans and their Digimon follow them.

After an hour of walking, every human and Digimon was tired, hot, and a bit cranky.

"Too bad we forgot to ask for directions," James mutters.

"Well, you know who we have to blame for that," Samantha says dryly as she glares at Jesse.

"I didn't see any of you stopping me so we could ask them for directions," Jesse says hotly. Brian stops.

"Can't we just go back and ask them?" Brian asks the group.

"I don't see whats stopping us," Jesse says, turning around.

"Let's go back to the cave and ask Centarumon and Leomon where to find Vilemon," Brian says as he starts walking back to the cave.

"I agree with you there," Jesse says as he too starts walking back to Centarumon's cave.

"Wait for me!" Daniel cries out as he runs to catch up with Brian and Jesse, with Samantha and James close behind.

As the group were walking back to Centarumon's cave, they meet another Digimon. But it doesn't look very friendly.

"Uh oh, its Kuwagamon," Lipomon cries out, "Kuwagamon is a very dangerous Insectoid Digimon. It can cut through just about anything with those giant pincer claws of his. I suggest that we run away."

Unfortunately, Kuwagamon notices them before they could move. With a bellow, it takes to the air and comes at the humans and Digimon. The little Digimon jump into the air and spit bubbles at Kuwagamon. The group of bubbles hit him in the face, but it barely fazes him.

"Did I forget to mention that he's a Champion level Digimon?" Lipomon asks before he spits some more bubbles at Kuwagamon. The humans start running as Kuwagamon comes at them.

"Is there any chance that we can outrun this guy?" Jesse gasps out between strides.

"Since he's flying and we can't fly, he'll be able to easily catch up to us before he tires out," Chosenmon says from behind him, "which we would do before he would."

"Drat," Jesse grumbles.

He notices a stout branch that was fairly straight and pointed fairly well on one end. As he passes by it, he scoops it up and spins around. He takes carefull aim and launches the makeshift projectile at Kuwagamon. By sheer luck, or [possibly through great skill, the makeshift weapon hits Kuwagamon in its left eye. It crashes to the ground, bellowing in pain.

"Come on, lets run for it while its dealing with the pain!" Jesse cries out as he resumes running. Unfortunately, the pain does not distract Kuwagamon for long. It is soon back in the air, chasing the DigiDestined and their Digimon even faster than before.

"We can't outrun him, so we gotta fight!" Chosenmon cries out as he spins and spits more bubbles at Kuwagamon.

"How do we fight that thing?" Jesse demands between gasps.

"If only we could digivolve to our Rookie levels," Mokumon cries out.

"But we don't know who to make you digivolve!" Daniel whines between gasps.

Jesse spots a stone on the ground that was of a good size. He dives for it, grabs it, twists on the ground, ends up on his knees as he throws the stone at Kuwagamon. But Kuwagamon just knocks the stone away. Unfortunately, Jesse's attack took too long and Kuwagamon was upon him. Chosenmon and the other Digimon run to his defense, spitting bubbles the entire time. Brian and James grab fallen tree branches and run at Kuwagamon, while Samantha and Daniel throw stones at him. But none of this affects Kuwagamon. It swings its upper right arm, knocking all of the humans back. I moves to do the same with its upper left arm when a bright light begins to shine from the Digivices. The light envelopes the Digimon.

"Chosenmon digivolve to Heromon!" Chosenmon calls out as he changes into a gentle looking human-like Digimon carrying a sword.

"Chosenmon is a Warrior Digimon of great strength for a Rookie level Digimon. His Hero Beam and Hero Sword attacks smash all but the strongest of evil Digimon," the humans could hear Leomon say from the cave, which they had almost made it to.

"Mokumon digivolve to Tapirmon!" Mokumon calls out as he changes into a elephant-like Digimon with a kind of smoky cloud instead of legs.

"Tapirmon is a Animal Digimon," the could hear Centarumon explain from the distance, "his Waking Dream attack blasts through his opponents."

"Lipomon digivolve to Eggmon!" Lipomon calls out as he changes into an egg-like Digimon with little arms and legs.

"Eggmon is an Perfect Digimon of few words but great strength. His Egg Pelter attack really messes up his enemies," Leomon explains.

"Yokomon digivolve to Biyomon!" Yokomon says as she digivolves into Biyomon.

"Biyomon is a Bird Digimon who likes to eat berries," Centarumon tells Samantha, "her Spiral Twister burns her enemies quite well."

"Mikomon digivolve to Magimon!" Mikomon calls out as he digivolves to what can only be described as a mini version of Wizardmon, but no wide brimmed hat or cape and the wand is in the shape of the crescent moon instead of the blazing sun.

"Magimon is a Wizard Digimon of great strength. He can really dish out the punishment with his Magical Tapestry attack," Heromon explains.

"Now I'm really ready to fight!" Heromon says as he draws his sword from its scabbard.

"Me too!" the other Digimon chorus. Heromon spins the sword a few times over his and brings it in front of his chest, holding the hilt and balancing the tip of the blade carefully on his left hand.

"Hero Beam!" Heromon calls out as energy begins to form in the center of the sword. The blast rocks Kuwagamon.

"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon calls out as the green fire forms before her and hits Kuwagamon, causing his head to catch on fire.

"Magical Tapestry!" Magimon calls out. Threads of energy fly from his fingers and wrap themselves around Kuwagamon.

"Waking Dream!" Tapirmon calls out as a blast of ghostly energy fires from his mouth and hits Kuwagamon's torso.

"Egg Pelter!" Eggmon cries out as he throws eggs at Kuwagamon, which explode on contact. Kuwagamon collapses to the ground. The DigiDestined and their Digimon run into the cave.

"You really are the DigiDestined," Leomon says.

"I guess so," Jesse grumbles, "can you tell us where to find Vilemon?"

"Yes, but first you must rest," Leomon says. At that, all of the humans collapse to the ground in exhaustion.
