Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Tale of the Original DigiDestined ❯ Big Birds Flying High ( Chapter 6 )

A few days later, both Jesse and Heromon are back in great shape.

"So, how do you feel?" Elecmon asks Jesse.

"I feel fine," Jesse replies, "a little sore, but all in all I feel fine."

"That's good to hear," Heromon says, "you did sleep for two days, you know."

"Wow, that certainly breaks my old record," Jesse laughs.

"And did you know you snore?" Samantha asks.

"I do not snore!" Jesse cries out.

"Yes you do," James says with a grin, "I've heard subways that make less noise."

"I'm gonna get you!" Jesse cries out as he lunges for James. James dodges and Jesse falls face first into the grass. Everyone laughs at Jesse.

"You know, one of these days your gonna regret laughing at me," Jesse grumbles.

"Yeah, sure, but we need to start heading back for Infinity Mountain," Brian says.

"Yeah, lets get going," Jesse says as he struggles back onto his feet, "we need to get this over with so we can go home."

"Say, didn't Andromon say that someone who could guide us to Infinity Mountain and protect on the way was coming?" Samantha asks.

"Yeah, he did," James says, "wonder who or what it is?"

"I am here," a voice says from above them. The group looks up toi see a small pink ball of fur holding what would be a staff to something its size.

"Hey, its Pixiemon," Biyomon says, "Pixiemon is an Ultimate level Pixie Digimon. His Pit Bomb is quite strong. He is also a well renowned fighter throughout the Digital World. He is also a very nice guy, if a bit strange."

"You mean this little fuzzball is a great fighter?" Jesse demands incredulously.

Pixiemon twirls his staff and lunges at Jesse. Jesse ducks, grabbing the staff as he goes down, twists the staff, and attempts to fling Pixiemon into a nearby tree. But Pixiemon was a lot stronger than he looked physically. Pixiemon stops midflip and reverses, sending Jesse to the ground. Jesse slowly crawls back to his feet, respect in his eyes.

"You are good, young DigiDestined," Pixiemon says, "now, shall we go to Infinity Mountain so you may do battle with Vilemon?"

Pixiemon starts walking off, which is a funny site when you stop and think about it. He wasn't much bigger than most In Training Digimon, and yet he was supposed to be one of the most powerful Digimon in the Digital World.

After a few hours of walking, they take a break.

"Come on!" Pixiemon complains, "how can you expect to save the Digital World when you tire so easily?"

"We're not used to this yet, and if we don't have to push ourselves just yet, why should we?" Samantha demands, "if we rest now, we'll be able to fight better if we get attacked."

"And if you get attacked while resting, then you're done for," Pixiemon says.

"Then someone can stand guard," Jesse says, "that way at least one person won't be taken unawares."

"Are you volunteering for this guard duty?" Pixiemon asks.

"Yep," Jesse says, "I'm more used to such strenuous activity and I can better defend myself against attacks than the others."

"Say what?" Brian demands.

"Its true," Jesse says, "I am not only older, but in reasonably better physical condition than any of you."

"Why I outta," Brian begins.

"You outta what?" Jesse asks coolly, "teach me a lesson? You're welcome to try any time."

At this, Brian lunges at Jesse, who easily sidesteps the attack and knees Brian in the gut. Brian clutches his stomach and sinks to the ground.

"Enough!" Pixiemon says, "Jesse, take up the guard position. The rest of you, take a break."

Suddenly, a shadow flies over them. They look up to see a pair of Digimon descending upon them.

"Look out," Pixiemon cries out, "its Megadramon and Kokatorimon!"

"Megadramon is a powerful Ultimate level Digimon," Heromon says, "he is a Dark Dragon Type Digimon. His Dark Side Attack is really powerful and his Ultimate Slicer will cut through just about anything."

"Kokatorimon is a Bird Digimon," Biyomon says, "his Frozen Fire Shot freezes his opponents, leaving them wide open to his Feather Sword."

"I'll take care of Megadramon, you deal with Kokatorimon," Pixiemon says as he leaps at Megadramon. The two Ultimate level Digimon engage in combat.

"Frozen Fire Shot!" Kokatorimon calls out, hitting Heromon and Eggmon with his feathers. The two turn to stone.

"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon calls out, launching the spiraling green fire at Kokatorimon.

The attack hits Kokatorimon, but it hardly fazes him.

"Frozen Fire Shot!" Kokatorimon calls out again, this time hitting Tapirmon and Eggmon.

"Looks like it slal up to me," Biyomon says, "Spiral Twister!"

Kokatorimon bats away the attack.

"You're no threat," Kokatorimon says to Biyomon, "so I think I'll finish off the humans and then take care of you."

Laughing, Kokatorimon prepares his Feather Sword.

"Biyomon, help us!" Samantha cries out. Her Digivice begins to glow, as does Biyomon.

"Biyomon digivole to Birdramon!" Biyomon calls out.

"Birdramon is Bird Digimon," Samantha says in awe, "her Meteor Wing sends large fireballs at her opponents."

"Don't worry, I'll protect you Samantha," Birdramon says as she moves between Kokatorimon and her partner.

"Meteor Wing!" Birdramon calls out, flapping her wings, forming several big balls of fire.

The fireballs collide with Kokatorimon, knocking him to the ground.

"You're tougher than you look," Kokatorimon says, "but not tough enough. Frozen Fire Shot!"

Birdramon dodges Kokatorimon's attack and responds with her own attack.

"Meteor Wing!" Birdramon calls out. The attack hits Kokatorimon in the face, knocking him out. At Kokatorimon's defeat, the other Digimon return to normal.

Meanwhile, Pixiemon had his hands full with Megadramon.

"Dark Side attack!" Megadramon calls out, launching his strongest attack at Piximon. The blast of dark energy careens towards Piximone.

"Pit Bomb!" Pixiemon calls out, sending a little bomb with wings at Megadramon's Dark Side Attack. The two attacks collide and cancel out.

"So you truly are strong, Pixiemon," Megadramon laughs, "but it is futile. You cannot hold me at bay long enough for the DigiDestined to get away."

"He doesn't have to!" Brian calls out, "because we're not running!"

"Go get him Birdramon!" Samantha yells.

Birdramon closes in on Megadramon and attacks him with her Meteor Wing while Heromon attacks with his Heromon, Eggmon attacks with his Egg Pelter, Magimon attacks with his Magical Tapestry, and Tapirmon attacks with his Waking Dream.

"Meteor Wing!"

"Hero Beam!"

"Egg Pelter!"

"Magical Tapestry!"

"Waking Dream!"

The five attacks hit Megadramon, but he shrugs them off. Unfortunately for him, Pixiemon has moved behind him and attacks with his Pit Bomb.

"Pit Bomb!" Pixiemon calls out. The attacks hits Megadramon in the back of his head, knocking him out.

"Well, that was easy," Brian says.

"You call that easy?" Biyomon asks when she die-digivolves from Birdramon, "that was a tough fight."

"That was a difficult battle," Pixiemon says as he comes down from the sky, "but you rose to the occasion. I could have beaten Megadramon eventually, but I thank you for coming to help. That shows a truly good heart."

"Whatever," Samantha says.

"Let's get away from here," Brian says, "we can rest as soon as we get a fair distance away from Megadramon."

"He has a point," Pixiemon says, "let us get away from here. Megadramon are infamous for their tempers when they wake up. Even I wouldn't want to be here when he wakes up."

After walking for another half hour, the gang stops to rest, with Jesse and Heromon standing guard while the others eat some food that they had packed. Jesse and Heromon eat a few pieces of fruit as they stand guard.

"You know, if it weren't for all these monsters trying to destroy us, this place wouldn't be so bad," Jesse tells Heromon as they stand guard.

"The Digital World is a wonderful place," Heromon says thoughtfully, "but it may be too dangerous for you humans since you cannot defend yourself. If we Digimon didn't have to worry about defending you as well as protecting ourselves, we could fight a lot better."

"I figured that, but what can we do about that?" Jesse asks, "the best we could do is have one of you stay back to guard us while the rest fight."

"There is another legend concerning the DigiDestined that only a few know of, and Centarumon and Leomon are not among those few," Pixiemon says.

"What is it?" Brian asks.

"Tjhere is a legend that along with the Crests, there exist Weapons empowered by the same forces as the Crests," Pixiemon says, "they are called the Crest Weapons. It is said that if a DigiDestined wields a Crest Weapon, they can fight as well as any Digimon."

"We should try and find these Crest Weapons," Jesse says, "that way the Digimon can fight at their fullest."

"But isn't it only a legend?" Samantha asks with a slight sneer.

"No, it is not simply a legend," Pixiemon says, "for on this island thee exists some Crest Weapons. I do not know if you are able to wield them, but there are some here."

"Well, we should try and find them before we fight Vilemon," Jesse says, "so our Digimon can fight better."

"Vilemon has taken these Crest Weapons, just like he has taken the Crest Tags," Pixiemon says, "you will have to defeat him to get them just like you will have to defeat him to obtain your Tags."

"You guys rest," Jesse says, "Heromon and I will stand watch."

Daniel lays down and almost immediately goes to sleep, with Tapirmon not far behind him. James meditates and Brian talks with Pixiemon about the Digital World. Eggmon and Magimon climb a tree to find more fruit while Samantha just sits there.
