Pyromon
"Hi, this is Mimi. Last time, we had entered this jungle, where we believed that my new digimon partner would be. The moisture was just ruining my hair, and then we met up with Digitamamon, who attacked us, how rude of him.
Anyway, the three digimon that we had with us, digivolved to battle with him. Angemon and Alimon were defeated pretty fast, and that was when we met Ivymon, who proved that she was my new partner when she digivolved into Rosemon. Griffimon then digivolved into Knightmon, and together they defeated that oversized egg.
Later, Ivymon told us that she had been waiting for us to arrive, and asked for our help to stop another evil digimon that was in the forest. We soon found out that it was that fashion victim Skullmeramon. But then another digimon named Pinmon attacked us, because he had one of those black gears controlling him. Rosemon then digivolved into Thornedrosemon, and was able to knock the gear out of Pinmon.
Meanwhile Alimon and Angemon were having trouble with Skullmeramon, that is until Alimon digivolved into Cyberalimon, and cooled that hot head off. We are now off to meet up with Tai’s group, and then head back to save Palmon and the others."
The children had been walking for hours, when they came up to the stream. Now they were all resting for a bit, before they headed out again. Tai watched as Sora and Kari sat on a rock next to the stream, soaking their bare feet in the cool water. Gatomon had gone off to scout ahead, while Purrmon and Pyromon were resting in the shade of a nearby tree. Tai then looked over at Izzy, who was pounding away at his computer, as usual. Tai walked up to Izzy, and looked over his shoulder. "Are you still trying to figure out what those drawings mean Izzy?" Tai asked.
Izzy did not even look back at his friend. Tai remembered Mimi once calling it computer dark mode, because whenever he was working on his computer, Izzy hardly paid anyone any attention. "As a matter of fact Tai, I think I have already deciphered these hieroglyphs, and am now trying to find some clue in them as to the identity of my new digimon partner."
"How do you figure that they hold the key to finding out about that?" Tai asked.
"Remember back at that factory where we met Andromon?" Izzy asked.
"Yeah, that was when Tentomon first digivolved into Kabuterimon." Tai said.
"Correct, I was able to set off his digivolve with these hieroglyphs. It is also entirely possible that the identity of my new partner may just lie in the same program."
Tai was about to say something, when Gatomon jumped over the stream. Everyone quickly gathered around her. "What did you find Gatomon?" Tai asked eagerly.
Gatomon looked up at him, "There is a village about a mile or so ahead. We should be able to find out info on Izzy’s new digimon there."
Tai looked at everyone, "Ok, we will rest here for another half hour, and then we will head for the village." Everyone nodded in agreement with that.
A few hours later, the digi-destined and their digimon entered the village. Kari looked at Gatomon, who had tears running down her cheeks. "What wrong Gatomon?" Kari asked her partner and friend.
Gatomon looked up at the girl, "I just remembered, that this is where I first met Wizardmon." Gatomon then looked away from Kari, thinking back to her friend, and how he had risked everything, including his own life to bring Kari her digi-vice and crest.
But Gatomon’s thoughts were interrupted, when the ground began to shake under her. She looked up, and saw another digimon from her dark past come around the corner of the street, Mammothmon. The large digimon stomped up to the group, and looked them over. "Lord Rexmon demands that I destroy you all." Mammothmon said.
"You and what army?" Tai asked.
"Be careful what you say kid, you don’t have Garudamon to protect you this time." Mammothmon said, as he then spotted Gatomon standing with the group, "And you will pay for you betrayal to Lord Myotismon; Gatomon." The large digimon then swung its head around, "Tusk Crusher!" And the tips of his tusks shot out at the kids and their digimon, barely missing them. Pyromon and Purrmon took to the air, and swooped around above Mammothmon, before they began to glow.
"Pyromon digivolve to………..Dragimon!"
"Purrmon digivolve to………..Tigramon!"
Tigramon and Dragimon hovered over Mammothmon for a few moments, and then Tigramon dove for the attack, "Blue Fire!" She shouted, as she opened her mouth, and let loose her attack. The attack hit Mammothmon, only phasing him a little.
Dragimon then took his turn at the large digimon, "Lava Flame!" He shouted, as he let loose a fireball at Mammothmon. But Mammothmon just shrugged it off.
"You call those attacks," The larger digimon said, "Try this one for size, Freezing Breath!" and a stream of snow and ice left Mammothmon’s trunk, and hit Tigramon. She fell half-frozen to the ground.
"NO!" Sora shouted, as she ran to her friend.
"I’ve had enough of this guy." Gatomon said. She took off, and jumped up on the large digimons back. "Lightning Claw!" She said, as she dug her claws into Mammothmon’s back.
Mammothmon screamed out in pain, and then reached back with his trunk, and grabbed Gatomon. "I have looked forward to this ever since I found out that you were responsible for Myotismons destruction." Mammothmon saw out of the corner of his eye Dragimon coming in for another attack. He swung around, "Tusk Crusher!" he shouted, as once again the tips of his trunks shot off. This time though, they both hit their target, and Dragimon fell hard to the ground, reverting back to Pyromon.
"Oh no, Dragimon is down." Tigramon said, as he began to get back up.
"No you’re too weak." Sora protested.
"But I am the only one left to battle with Mammothmon. I hope that you can understand Sora." Tigramon said, as she took to the air.
Sora did not say anything, as she remembered back to the time just before Birdramon digivolved to Garudamon. ‘Good luck Tigramon.’ She said in her head, as a tear began to form in her eyes.
Mammothmon brought Gatomon back up in front of him, "Now where were we?" he asked, as he began to squeeze the smaller digimon.
"NO!" Kari screamed as she saw what Mammothmon was doing to her friend. Suddenly, Kari’s digi-vice and her crest began to glow, as did Gatomon. Surprised by this, Mammothmon dropped the digimon, and took a few steps back.
"Gatomon digivolve to………..Angewomon"
Mammothmon looked up at Angewomon as Tigramon joined her in the air. "Angewomon, I was beginning to wonder when you would show up."
"Sorry it took so long Tigramon. Now what do you say we take this digimon."
"With pleasure." Tigramon said.
"Give me your best shot ladies." Mammothmon barked.
Angewomon raised her left arm to the sky, and pointed her right at Mammothmon. "Celestial Arrow!" She yelled, as an arrow appeared in her hand. A bow grew out of her glove, and she pulled the arrow back and released it at Mammothmon. The arrow struck home, Mammothmon screamed out in pain.
Tigramon took this opportunity, and flew around behind the large digimon. "Blue Fire!" She shouted, as her attack leapt out, and hit Mammothmon. "Have you had enough yet Mammothmon?" She asked.
The large digimon spun around, and looked at her, "Never!" he shouted, "Freezing Breath!" Mammothmon shouted, as once again, a blast of snow and ice hit Tigramon, and sent her falling to the ground.
"Tigramon, NO!" Sora shouted, as her Crest of Love activated. Tigramon then began to glow.
"Tigramon digivolve to" Tigramon stood up straight, both of her paws turning into hands. A tight tank to appeared around her chest area, and pants appeared on her legs. Her wings disappeared, and a bandana appeared around her head, and finally, her top fangs grew out. "………..Sabertoothedtigramon." She then let out a roar.
Izzy quickly pulled out his computer, and brought up the info on Sabertoothedtigramon. "Sabertoothedtigramon is a fully evolved digimon, who fights for justice, and defends defenseless digimon everywhere. Her attack is a fiery attack called, Fire Stripes!"
Sabertoothedtigramon looked at Mammothmon, "Your destructive attack ends here Mammothmon."
"I would like to see you try, Tusk Crusher!" Mammothmon shouted, as the tips of his tusks shot out at Sabertoothedtigramon.
Sabertoothedtigramon watched as the missiles got closer, and then at the last second grabbed them both, and directed them both back at Mammothmon, who was unable to dodge this surprise attack. Sabertoothedtigramon looked up at Angewomon, "Let’s finish this oversized shag rug off."
"I could not agree more with you Sabertoothedtigramon." Angewomon set up to use her attack again, "Celestial Arrow!" and she released it at Mammothmon.
"Fire Stripes!" Sabertoothedtigramon shouted, as she brought both of her arms back, and flung them forward again. A line of fire left her hands, and went right for Mammothmon.
"NO!" Mammothmon shouted, as both the arrow and the fire hit him at the same time. He was surrounded by a wall of light, and then consumed by it. Everyone covered their eyes, as Mammothmon was completely destroyed.
Angewomon landed, and reverted back to Gatomon, while Sabertoothedtigramon reverted back to her in-training form. Sora ran over to her, and picked her up. "I am so proud of you," Sora paused for a moment, "Who are you know?"
The little digimon let out a laugh, "I am now called Puffmon Sora."
"Then I am proud of you Puffmon." Sora said as she brought the small digimon up and hugged her.
Agumon struggled to get out of the chains that he had been put in. Suddenly, the door opened, and Rexmon walked into the room. "So you thought that you were clever breaking out of here before. Well, I have news for you, I let you escape, so that I could find your friend Leomon." Rexmon then began to laugh.
Palmon looked up at the evil digimon, "Laugh all you want to Rexmon, because when Leomon escapes, you will be sorry"
Rexmon looked at the plant digimon, and just smiled an evil smile at her. He then snapped his fingers, and 3 Gazimon brought in a statue. "Oh no, Leomon!" Tentomon said in shock.
"As you can see, Leomon will not be escaping any time soon. And soon I will also destroy your friends."
"You will never stop them Rexmon, especially since they now have new partners to protect them." Agumon said.
"So you know about their new partners. Well, I would be concerned then if I were you. Your friends may decide that their new partners are better than their old ones." Rexmon said, as he turned around to leave, "Just a little something for you to consider." The Gazimon and Rexmon left the dungeon, slamming the door shut behind them.
"Could he be right about them?" Palmon asked.
"Izzy would never do that, would he? Tentomon said.
"I know that Joe would not." Gomamon said.
"Gomamon is right," Agumon spoke up, "Joe, Mimi, Izzy, and Tai are our partners, and our friends. They would never do anything like that to us."
"And," Gomamon added in, "Rexmon has not found Tsunomon or Yokomon yet."
"You’re right, Izzy would never do that to me." Tentomon said.
"And Mimi would not do that you me either." Palmon put in.
"Good, now that we have that taken care of, we can move onto more important things to worry about, namely trying to get out of here, and," Agumon looked at Leomon, "restoring Leomon back to himself." Everyone agreed, and they began to get to work.
After resting for a moment, so that the digimon could all regain their strength, the group set out again. Shortly after they started out again, they came up to a coliseum. They walked up to the sign, and read it. "Come one come all, to see the great Giantmon and his sidekick Torusmon take on all challengers." Sora read. She then turned to the others, and saw that Izzy’s Crest of Knowledge was glowing.
Izzy looked down, "Prodigious, my new partner must be near by."
"Maybe he is in the coliseum Izzy." Puffmon said.
"That is a very good idea Puffmon." Izzy said.
"Then lets go." Tai said, as he led the way in.
The inside of the coliseum was huge, and Tai, Izzy, and Sora saw more different kinds of digimon than they had ever seen since first coming to the Digiworld. Kari just took as much of it in as possible. "Look at all the different types of digimon." Tai said in ah, "There must be hundreds of them."
"Are you the digi-destined?" Came a voice from behind. Everyone turned around, and saw a digimon that looked like a small bull standing on two legs.
"Yes we are." Sora said, "Who are you?"
"I am Torusmon, the apprentice to the great warrior Giantmon." Torusmon said with more than a little enthusiasm. "Have you come to see the battle?"
"Actually, we are on a mission to find one digimon in particular, and think that he or she may be in this establishment." Izzy said.
Suddenly, Izzy looked noticed that his crest had begun to glow. But before he could say anything, there was a loud gong type noise. "Oops, better get going, would not want to be late for my fist fight." Torusmon said, "hey, maybe when the battle is over, I can help you to find the one that you are looking for."
"We would appreciate that Torusmon." Sora said, and the digimon took off.
Kari looked over at Izzy, "Are you ok Izzy?" she asked. Tai and Sora turned to look at him to.
"I may just be speculating about this, but I do believe that Torusmon is my new digimon partner." Izzy said. Before anyone could say anything, there was another gong sound, "I will explain how I came to this conclusion later, right now I think that it might be wise to stay and watch this battle." And he started to move for the arena, closely followed by the others.
"Ladies and gentlemon, of all stages, welcome to the battle." Said the Frigimon announcer, "Today, we have a special match up for you." He indicated a digimon off to one side, "In this corner, is the challenger, in his fully digivolved form, Electrokabuterimon. And his partner, in his rookie form, Gazimon." Frigimon then indicated the 2 digimon in the other corner, "And in this corner, is the champion, Giantmon and his partner Torusmon."
Electrokabuterimon and Giantmon stepped into the ring, and faced each other. Frigimon stepped up between them, "Ok, you 2, I want to see a clean fight. Now shake hands, and when the gong rings, come out fighting." The 2 combatants shook hands, and went back to their corners.
The gong rang, and both of the digimon took off for each other. But they had not even gotten the first attack in, when out of nowhere, 2 black gears flew in, and hit both digimon, the gears being absorbed into their bodies. Torusmon ran up to his partner, "Giantmon, are you ok?" he asked, as Giantmon turned his head, and looked at his friend.
Giantmon then stood up, as did Electrokabuterimon, and began to look around the arena. "Digi-destined, show yourselves, or else we will find you."
Tai looked at the 2 fully evolved digimon, "I guess that it is time for battle again." He then stood up, and with the rest of the group in tow, headed for the floor.
Torusmon could not understand why Giantmon was acting like this. "Giantmon, why are you trying to get the digi-destined down here?"
Giantmon just looked at him, and brought his hand up, and threw it down as hard as he could, knocking the smaller digimon across the arena, where he slammed into the wall. "I will say this again, digi-destined show yourselves."
"Right here Giantmon." Came a voice from the entrance. "We are the ones that you are looking for."
"How brave of you to show yourselves." Electrokabuterimon said. "Now you will have to fight us."
Tai looked back at his friends. ‘Puffmon is not yet ready to take on these guys. That only leaves Pyromon and Gatomon to fight.’ "Gatomon, Pyromon, get ready to fight." Tai said. "We have to destroy those black gears that have taken control of these 2 digimon."
Izzy noticed that Torusmon was trying to get up out of the corner of his eye. "Tai wait," Izzy said, "we may just have another digimon that can fight." Tai looked at him confused, as Izzy ran over to where Torusmon was laying. "Torusmon are you ok?"
Torusmon looked up at Izzy, "Yeah, I think that I am. But I can’t understand why Giantmon did that to me."
"Giantmon is under that control of a black gear." Izzy pointed out, "He is not in control of his actions."
Izzy’s crest began to glow again, and this time, Torusmon saw it. The glow then passed to him, and an aura of light covered his body. "What is happening to me?" Torusmon asked.
"Do you remember when we said that we were searching for a digimon?" Izzy asked, Torusmon nodded, "Well, I believe that that digimon is you Torusmon. You are my new digimon partner, and we need you to help us irradicate that black gear that is controlling your friend. Will you help us?"
Torusmon looked up at Izzy in confusion, and then a look of understanding came over his face, "Lets do it." Izzy helped Torusmon up, and they both went over to the rest of the group. Torusmon walked up to Tai, "I will fight this battle."
"Alright, then it will be you and Gatomon that fight." Tai said.
Gatomon took up a place across from Electrokabuterimon, and got ready for battle. Giantmon took a step up on the platform, standing next to his partner in this battle. Torusmon did the same, stepping up next to Gatomon. The Frigimon announcer had run off when the black gears hit Giantmon and Electrokabuterimon, so there was nobody to preside over the fight. Sora looked at Izzy, "I don’t know about this Izzy, both Electrokabuterimon and Giantmon are fully evolved digimon, and Torusmon is only in his rookie stage."
Izzy pulled out his computer, "Don’t worry Sora, I have a plan. I just hope that it works." Izzy brought up the program that he used that day in the factory, and crossed his fingers. Suddenly, Izzy’s digi-vice started to go off, "Prodigious, it’s working."
Torusmon suddenly began to glow, "What’s happening to me?"
"Your digivolving." Izzy shouted at Torusmon.
"Torusmon digivolve to………..Toromon!"
Izzy pulled up his digimon analyzer, and looked up Toromon, "Toromon is the champion form of Torusmon. His attack is called Hyper Charge."
"Gatomon, hop on." Toromon said, "And hang on."
Gatomon jumped onto Toromon’s back, and he took off on a mad run. "Hyper Charge!" Toromon shouted, as his horns began to glow, and he took off in a run. Toromon slammed into Electrokabuterimon, while Gatomon jumped off, and tackled Giantmon.
Electrokabuterimon quickly recovered, and came back by slapping Toromon back. "Static Charge!" he shouted, as a bolt of electricity jumped out, and engulfed Toromon, making all the hair on his body stand up.
Meanwhile, Gatomon was quickly thrown off of Giantmon, but was able to recover, and land on her feet, in true feline style. She jumped back up, and brought her claws into an attack position. "Lightning Claws!" She shouted, as she grabbed onto Giantmon. The large digimon screamed in pain, as the electricity coursed though his body.
Kari tuned to Izzy, "Does Gatomon have a chance against that digimon?"
Izzy did not answer, but instead, called up the information on Giantmon. "Giantmon is a fully evolved digimon, that stands almost thirty feet tall. His attack is called Basher Club." Izzy thought for a moment, "If she can digivolve to Angewomon again, then she might just have a chance."
Kari looked back at the battle in time to see Giantmon grab Gatomon, and throw her across that arena. "Gatomon, digivolve!" Kari shouted, as her crest started to glow.
"Gatomon digivolve to………..Angewomon!"
Angewomon floated in front of Giantmon. "Giantmon, you must fight the control of the black gear that is inside of you."
"I will show you a fight, Angewomon, Basher Club!" Giantmon shouted, as he tried to bring his club down on Angewomon. But Angewomon was to quick for him to hit.
"Then you leave me know choice Giantmon." Angewomon said, as she brought her arms over her head, "Heaven’s Charm!" and a ring of light flew up, and created a hole of light over her head. Positive energy began to flow from the hole, encompassing everything near it. Giantmon screamed in pain, as the energy fell down over him.
Meanwhile, Toromon was having some trouble with Electrokabuterimon, until the energy field fell over the other digimon, causing him to scream out in pain. "Toromon, you have to digivolve like Gatomon did in order to get rid of the gear that is controlling him." Izzy shouted, as his crest began to glow.
"Toromon digivolve to" Toromon stood up straight, his hooves turning into hands. His upper body, grew out, and his lower section grew in, covered with pants. A ring appeared in his nose, his horns grew larger. Finally, a large nasty looking club appeared in his hand. "………..Minitarmon!"
Minitarmon looked at Electrokabuterimon, "Time to finish this battle, Atomic Horns!" Minitarmon shouted, his two horns shot out, and hit Electrokabuterimon, exploding on impact, and knocking the black gear out of him. It flew up, and shattered.
Angewomon in the meantime, had collected the energy of the hole, and had formed her bow "Celestial Arrow!" She shouted, as she drew that arrow back, and released it. The arrow flew at Giantmon, and hit him right on. Giantmon screamed out in pain again, and the black gear that was controlling him was forced out of his body, flew up high, and shattered. Angewomon reverted back to Gatomon, who collapsed, and Minitarmon reverted back to his in-training form, and passed out.
"Hoofmon, are you all right?" Came a voice.
Hoofmon opened his eyes, and saw Izzy standing over him. "Giantmon, is he ok?" Hoofmon asked, concerned about his friend.
"Never better little friend." Giantmon said, as he looked at his partner. "Thanks for saving me, and Electrokabuterimon also asked me to relay his thanks as well. If it were not for you and Angewomon, we would have probably destroyed the coliseum."
"No problem big guy." Hoofmon said. He then noticed the sadness in his friend’s eyes. "What is it Giantmon?" He asked.
"Well, little friend, I have been talking to the digi-destined, and they have told me that they are on a quest to find the 6 digimon, that will help them to rescue their friends, as well as defeat Rexmon. And from what they have said, as well as what I have seen, you are one of the 6."
"That’s right Hoofmon, you are my new partner." Izzy said. "Or at least till we rescue Tentomon and the others from Rexmon. And then, who knows."
"It is your destiny, just like it is mine and Pyromons to help these children to stop Rexmons evil." Puffmon said.
"We need you Hoofmon." Pyromon said.
"Please say that you will join us." Gatomon said.
Hoofmon looked at the other digimon, and then at Giantmon, "What about you Giantmon?"
"Don’t worry about me Hoofmon." Giantmon looked down at his friend and smiled. "Besides, in this form, you can’t really help me out any in the battle, now can you?"
Hoofmon smiled at his friend. "I will return to this place when my service to the digi-destined is finished."
Everyone let out a cheer, and after saying goodbye to Giantmon, the group started off for the meeting place where they would meet up with Matt and his group, and from there they would head back to Gennai’s, and then rescue their friends.
(Izzy) "It was truly prodigious finding Torusmon like we did. And Giantmon turned out to be a really nice digimon. Although it was not my computer that help us to find Torusmon, I still believe that the hieroglyphs that we have found here in the Digiworld, still hold more secrets than I could even guess at. But that will have to wait for another time, as we must now return to Rexmons castle, and save Tentomon and the others, before it is to late."
