Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Tale of the Original DigiDestined ❯ Andromon ( Chapter 5 )

As they journeyed back to Infinity Mountain, the group comes across an old abandoned factory. Or at least they think its abandoned. As they walk through, they come across what appears to be an old Digimon made of metal, apparently deactivated.

"Hey, its Andromon," Heromon cries out, "Andromon is an Android Type Digimon. He's very strong. His Gatling Cannon and Lightning Blade attacks are quite powerful. If we could reactivate him and get him to guide us back to Infinity Mountain, he'd be great protection. He's fully digivolved."

"Well then, lets get him back online!" Brian says. He begins to try and open up the chest armor of Andromon.

"Hey, wait, don't do that!" Heromon calls out, but its too late.

The chest armor opens and out comes two missiles. Brian quickly crawls backwards to get away from them before they explode. Heromon leaps and kicks the two missiles as far away as he can. They explode upon hitting a factory wall. Andromon starts to hum and whir. Everyone watches as Andromon slowly comes to life. But when he opens his eyes, they are glowing red.

"Um, this is very bad," Magimon says, "Magical Tapestry!" Magimon fires off his attack at Andromon, but it hardly fazes him.

"Hero Beam!" Heromon calls out, firing his best attack. But the beam of holy energy does little to affect Andromon.

"He's not completely made of metal!" James cries out, "aim at the organic parts!"

"Egg Pelter!"

"Waking Dream!"

"Spiral Twister!"

The three attacks hit dead on onto Andromon's more organic components, but the pain only makes him madder.

"He has some sort of spell over him!" Magimon calls out to the others, "leave this to me and Tapirmon!" Magimon and Tapirmon close in on Andromon.

"Magical Tapestry!" "Waking Dream!"

The two attacks hit Andromon in the face. Andromon pauses for a moment.

"I think he may be trying to reboot," Heromon says.

Andromon closes his eyes. When he reopens them, they are glowing a more fierce red than before.

"Uh oh, I think we made him mad!" Eggmon calls out.

"Gatling Attack!" Andromon calls out, firing his Gatling missiles at Brian and Daniel.

Brian and Daniel's Digivice's start to glow, and Magimon and Tapirmon along with them.

"Magimon digivolve to Wizardmon," Magimon calls out. I'm sure you've seen Wizardmon so I am not about to bother describing him to you. If you don't know what Wizardmon looks like and have never seen him, you should be ashamed to call yourself a fan of Digimon. "Wizardmon is a Champion level wizard Digimon," Heromon explains, "or should I say he is THE Wizard Type Digimon. All other Wizard Type Digimon look to him for guidance. His Magical Game and Thunder Blaster attacks are very strong."

"Tapirmon Digivolve to Apemon!" Tapirmon calls out. Tapirmon digivolves into a yellow ape-like Digimon with a club in a sheathe on its back waist. It has red markings and the face, ears, hands, and feet are a bluish color. He also has a golden ring on its left index finger. "Apemon is a Champion level Animal Digimon," Heromon explains, "his Metallic Fur and Mega Bone Stick attacks will come in handy in this fight and any future fights."

"Mega Bone Stick!" Apemon calls out, drawing forth the bone and slamming it into Andromon's face.

"Magical Game!" Wizardmon says, using his staff to focus his energy to make the attack much more powerful.

The attacks collide with Wizardmon, knocking him down. But he gets back up. Wizardmon flies over to Andromon and holds his right hand just in front of Andromon's face.

"Thunder Blaster!" Wizardmon calls out, hitting Andromon in the face with orange energy. A bright light flares up.

When the light simmers down, Wizardmon has returned to being Magimon, Apemon is Tapirmon again, and Andromon is back to normal. He opens his eyes. They are no longer glowing red, but you can now see his pupils.

"Oh my, did something happen?" he asks. He looks around and sees the destruction from the battle. "Oh my, I hope all of you are okay," he says.

"We're fine," Jesse says, "but you sure can be dangerous. I hope you're on our side now that your back to normal."

"If you are allied with the forces of Darkness, then I am not on your side." Andromon says, crouching a bit, ready to attack.

"No, we're fighting against Vilemon and those like him," Jesse says, "Leomon and Centarumon call us the DigiDestined."

"If you are the DigiDestined, then I am not allowed to help you," Andromon says, "at least, not yet."

"Who says you aren't allowed to help?" Brian demands.

"Why, the 4 protectors of the Digital World," Andromon says, "4 of the most powerful Digimon in existence. Few know their names, and I am not one of them."

"Well, then I guess we had better get going back to Infinity Mountain," Brian says sullenly, "Vilemon is not gonna stop us from getting home!"

"Yeah!" the other four DigiDestined humans say in unison.

"I can't accompany you all the way to Infinity Mountain, but I can guide you to the nearby forest," Andromon says, "perhaps even as far as the Primary Village. There, you might be able to find someone who is able to help you."

"We would greatly appreciate your assistance, Andromon," Jesse says with a formal bow, "my name is Jesse."

"My name is Samantha," Samantha says, "and this is my little brother Daniel."

"Hi," Daniel says.

"And I'm James," James says, bowing a formal Japanese bow.

"And I'm Brian," Brian says happily, "and this is Heromon, who is Jesse's partner, Biyomon, who is Samantha's partner, Eggmon, who is James' partner, this is Tapirmon, who is Daniel's partner and helped release you from that spell, and this is Magimon, my partner, who is the one who released you from the spell."

"Hello all," Andromon says, "and I thank you for breaking that spell. Unfortunately, I may not have been the only Digimon who fell under that spell. Other Digimon, particularly Champion level Digimon, may have fallen under that spell and will be much tougher because the spell will increase their strength to that of a fully digivolved Digimon such as myself."

"So it's a good thing you're escorting us to the Primary Village, huh?" Brian asks.

"Yes, it is," Andromon says, "now if you'll follow me, I shall take you to meet Elecmon, the Digimon in charge of the Primary Village."

They reach the Primary Village after dark. "Elecmon, come out!" Andromon calls out very loudly.

"Hush, Andromon, or you'll wake the babies!" a somewhat muted hiss says from above them.

A small, red Digimon drops out of a tree and lands in from of them.

"It's Elecmon!" Tapirmon cries out, "Elecmon is a Mammal Digimon. His Sparkling Thunder attack really packs a punch. He is the caretaker of the Primary Village and all of the Baby Digimon and the DigiEggs from which they hatch. He's very protective of the baby Digimon."

"Yes, and I would greatly appreciate it if you would keep your voices down so the Babies can get some sleep," Elecmon says. "its very hard getting them to go back to sleep if they are disturbed."

"We'll be qiuet," Daniel says softly.

"Let's find something to eat," Jesse says, "I'll be right back. Heromon, come with me."

"Okay Jesse," Heromon says, walking without making a noise.

"Okay, Heromon, I saw a waterfall and stream a little bit from here, so we're gonna go and catch some fish," Jesse says, "you could probably use your Hero Beam to knock them out and then use your sword to skin them."

"My sword is not for fish," Heromon says indignantly, "it is for destroying evil Digimon."

"Heromon, we need something to carve the fish up," Jesse says, "and your sword is all we have."

"Well, then we need to find something else," Heromon says hotly.

"Heromon, there is nothing else for us to use!" Jesse says hotly. He shoves his hands into his pockets and realizes that he was carrying his pocket knife. He pulls it out of his pocket and looks at it.

"I had forgotten about my knife," Jesse says, "we can use this to carve up the fish. You just have to kill 'em."

"Can't we pick some fruit instead?" Heromon asks.

"I'll be doing that while you're catching the fish," Jesse says, "we need more than just fruit or just meat. We need a balanced diet because there's no telling how long this trip will take since Vilemon is only the beginning."

"Very well," Heromon says. He leaps into the air and fires off his Hero Beam into the water. Several fish are knocked out and rise to the surface.

Jesse climbs a tree and starts cutting fruit from the limbs. After about a half hour of hard work, they have gathered a fairly large supply of fish and various fruits. Jesse begins the grisly task of cleaning the fish.

"I'd forgotten how much I hated this part of fishing," Jesse says.

"Why didn't you try to catch any fish?" Heromon asks. The exercise had tired him and Jesse had let him eat a few pieces of fruit.

"Because I didn't have even the basic stuff needed to fish," Jesse says, "and I don't have the kind of abilities that you have."

"True," Heromon says, "I guess I can accept that reasoning. "

"You have too much pride in yourself for a Rookie level Digimon," a gruff voice says from behind them. The two spin around to see a large, yellow, very ugly looking Digimon staring at them with glowing red eyes.

"That's Cyclonemon," Heromon says, drawing his Hero Sword, "he's a Champion level Dragon Type Virus Digimon. His Hyper Heat and Arm Bomber attacks are quite strong."

"That's right, and I'm gonna take you out!" Cyclonemon says, "for Lord Vilemon has commanded that you DigiDestined are to be destroyed." Cyclonemon's eyes start to glow red.

"Hyper Heat!" Cyclonemon calls out as flames spurt from his mouth. He inhales and fires off a white hot blast of fire.

Heromon dodges the blast. "Hero Beam!" he cries out, focusing the energy at a point just in front of the middle of his sword. The energy beam hits Cyclonemon full in the face, but barely fazes him.

"He's already serving Vilemon!" Heromon cries out, "but Vilemon has cast the spell on him to increase his power." Jesse picks up a branch and chucks it at Cyclonemon. Cyclonemon simply exhales and the branch is completely incinerated.

Cyclonemon turns to face Jesse. "Arm Bomber!" he calls out, sending a blast of heat from his right arm. Jesse ducks and jumps out of the way, but the heat blisters him very badly. His Digivice starts to glow, as well as Heromon.

"Heromon digivolve to Warriormon!" Heromon calls out. Heromon is replaced by a 6 foot tall Digimon that looks a bit like a cross between Angemon and Magnamon. Only the armor is silver instead of gold. By now, the others have arrived, seeing the effects of the battle.

"Wow, I thought Warriormon was a myth!" Tapirmon says in awe.

"Who is that?" Brian asks, awestruck as well.

"That's Warriormon," Magimon says, "he is a Champion level Warrior Type Digimon of great strength. His Warrior Beam and Warrior Sword attacks are much more powerful versions of Heromon's Hero Beam and Hero Sword attacks. He is one of the most powerful Digimon around. He is a mighty enemy of evil Digimon, as there are few evil Digimon that he cannot destroy with just one full powered attack. Of course, such an attack would drain him of all of his energy and he would de-digivolve to a Digiegg."

"So, a warrior steps up to slay a dragon," Cyclonemon laughs, "don't think that old cliché will give you any more power!"

"But I disagree, Cyclonemon," Warriormon says in a voice that is a cross between Angemon's and WarGreymon's. He draws his sword and points it at Cyclonemon.

"I shall destroy you for hurting Jesse!" Warriormon calls out. He starts running to the much larger Cyclonemon, his sword point almost touching the ground. Just as he is about to run under Cyclonemon, Warriormon jumps 30 feet into the air. He starts twirling his sword.

"Warrior Sword!" he calls out. He begins slashing at the air, but each slash is followed by a wave of holy energy that collides with Cyclonemon. At the end of the assault, Cyclonemon disintegrates. "Jesse!" Warriormon cries as he hits the ground. He runs over to Jesse, who was beginning to blister and was bleeding terribly.

"Don't worry Jesse, things will be alright," Warriormon says as he hold his hands just over Jesse. His hands start to glow.

"My Warrior Beam has many effects," Warriormon says, "it all just depends on what is needed. It can be used to heal as well as destroy. Warrior Beam!" The moment he invokes the attack, Jesse is bathed in silverish energy. When the energy disappears, Warriormon has de-digivolved to Heromon but has passed out due to the energy depletion. Jesse is still in fairly bad shape, but all signs of the burns are gone.

"He'll be okay," Elecmon says, "so will Heromon. They'll just need a day or two to recover."

They gather up the food and head back to the Primary Village.
