Digimon Adventure: Storm Warning

A Gomamon and a Penguinmon ran as fast as they could through the Wetlands. Three Coelamon were chasing them. They screamed as they dodged attack after attack. They came to a stop at the edge of a large cliff. Both of them gasped as they turned around to face their attackers. The Coelamon laughed wickedly before all three of them attacked together.

They shouted. “Fossil Bite!”

They struck the ground in front of them, causing a large crack. Both Gomamon and Penguinmon held onto each other as the ground shifted. Just before it broke off from the cliff and fell, they screamed as they fell to the earth below. The Coelamon laughed before turning to head back home. One of them kicked some mud over the side. It was time to report back to their boss.

We find out group waiting in a small field just off from the main trail. Dust had contacted them not too long ago. A friend of theirs from the real world was sending them something. Zipp didn't know how to feel about this. She was still raw about how she got here in the first place. It felt like one day, everything was normal. Then, the next, she was battling evil train spider monsters with Guilmon. All it did was give her a headache.

The clouds began to circle above them; Ice noticed this and shouted happily. “Here it comes!”

A large beam of light fell from the sky. The group backed away, allowing it to land on the ground in front of them. The light shined brightly for a few seconds before disappearing. On the ground in front of them was a small box. Zipp stood still as the others walked up to the box. She could hear them talking excitedly. She gasped as a brief image of her friends back home flashed in front of her. She could hear them laughing; while her sister called her over.

Snow said. “Zipp.”

Zipp yelled in surprise, causing Snow to laugh. She glared at her for a moment; before she also started laughing. She then responded. “What's up, Snow?”

Snow levitated a card in front of her. “This.” She then instructed her. “Hold up your Digivice.”

Zipp did as she was told; her Digivice beeped loudly before the card turned into bits of data. The data was then absorbed into the Digivice. Shortly after, a small screen appeared above it; it showed the card. Zipp was curious about this.

Snow explained. “This is the card slot of your Digivice. Our friend, MOD, sends us these cards to help our Digimon in battle.”

Zipp asked. “MOD?”

Snow replied. “I'll explain him in a moment.” She explained further about the cards. “These cards are used to modify our Digimon. Think of them as either armor, power, or weapon boosters.” She lifted her Digivice and showed her cards. She had about thirty cards in her Digivice. She pressed the left button allowing her to select five cards. She then said. “Here, take these.” The five cards were then transferred into Zipp's Digivice.

Zipp smiled and thanked her. “Thanks, Snow.”

Snow replied. “You're welcome.”

Then Snows Digivice rang out; she answered it and saw Dust. She greeted her. “Hey, Dust. No worries, the cards.”

Dust interrupted her. “Not calling about the cards.” She apologized before explaining. “Sorry, guys. We've got more Digimon that need our help.”

Snow nodded before asking. “Where are we going now?”

Dust answered. “You need to head to the Wetlands. There's a huge power spike coming from there. Bad news, it's not a Reaper. Good news, it's not a Reaper.” That earned a small chuckle from Snow.

Snow replied. “We'll get on the way there right now. Till next time Dust.”

Dust nodded before the call ended. Zipp had heard everything and was already ready to go. Snow turned towards the others and said. “Alright, you all, we got another detour.”

Ice asked. “Where are we going now?”

Snow answered. “We're going to the Wetlands.”

They nodded, and soon, the group started down the path again. This time heading to help Digimon in the Wetlands of the Nature Level. Walking down the trail, they noticed two Digimon walking toward them. One of them was a Gomamon who was carrying a Penguinmon. Both of them looked to be in a bad way. The group quickly came to their aid. At first, the Gomamon was ready to launch an attack.

But Snow stopped him by saying in a caring voice. “Easy there. We're here to help.” She raised her Digivice in front of them and tapped the middle button. She activated a card allowing her to heal them.

Penguinmon groaned as he slowly stood back up. His friend stayed close by him as he got steady. As he got stable, he asked. “Uh...Gomamon, what happened?”

Gomamon answered. “You were knocked out.” She motioned to them. “But, they helped us.”

Penguinmon looked at Snow and thanked her. “Thank you.”

Snow nodded before asking. “May I ask you both something?” They nodded, and she continued. “By chance. Did both of you come from the Wetlands?”

Both of them were shocked by the question; how did she know where they had come from? Gomamon answered. “Yes, we just came from there.” She asked. “How did you know that?”

Snow explained. “We're on our way there.” She then asked. “What happened?”

Both of them explained that their home had fallen under the control of Snakehydramon. A champion-level Digimon with a lot of Coelamon under his control. He had shown up out of nowhere and just took over the whole zone. When asked if he had help from Worm, they were grateful to hear he hadn't.

Before the group could move on, Penguinmon spoke. “Hold on!” They looked at him as he showed them a glowing sphere. “This is a Home Sphere. It can teleport you right to our home in the Wetlands. Trust me. It's better than walking the whole way there.”

They nodded before thanking him; when the group was ready, Snow activated the Sphere. An intensely bright light surrounded the group. Then, a short time later, both the group and the light vanished.

Gomamon asked. “Do you think they will be okay?”

Penguinmon answered. “I hope so.”

The group was teleported into a darkened home. It was quiet, so quiet that one could hear the buzzing of a fly's wings. Snow motioned for the others to stay quiet; they nodded before spreading out and searching the house. They had to make sure that they were here alone. After all, if they were caught this early, they wouldn't be good heroes.

Ice was in the front of the home; she was searching what appeared to be the living room. So far, she and Labramon didn't find anything. It was then something caught her eye outside the window. She motioned for Labramon to hide while she checked it out. She hid close to the side and peeked out the window. She gasped when she saw what was outside. It was an injured Coelamon. It was covered in a lot of scars and bruises. She groaned a little as she found herself in a dilemma. They were here to run these Digimon out. But, this one was hurt and needed help, and as a Digi-Destined, she had to help Digimon in need. She shook her head and looked at her partner. She motioned for her to stay hidden while she helped the Coelamon.

Labramon watched as her partner exited the home and stepped outside. She hoped her partner would come back inside soon. When she heard her partner's scream, she jumped up and quickly bolted out the door. Only to have a net thrown on top of her.

The others heard Labramon yelp, causing them to run to the front of the house. Just as they got there, a massive explosion erupted from outside. The group screamed as they were caught up in the debris field. The house started to cave in, and soon, they were buried underneath the rubble. The Coelamon laughed wickedly before dragging their prisoners back to their master. The debris began to shift, and soon, Dinohyumon stood up from the wreckage.

He asked. “Are all of you okay?”

The others groaned a little as they stood up, each of them shaking their heads as they regained their senses. Snow answered. “Yeah, thanks, Dinohyumon.”

He nodded before de-digivolving back into Betamon. Zipp said. “Okay, I will be kicking some serious butt when I get my hands on them.” Guilmon growled in agreement.

Snow stared down at her Digivice; she had a map open and saw a group of red dots moving away from them. There was also a large number of dots surrounding them in the area. She shook her head before putting it away. She got the attention of the others before saying. “Okay, we are surrounded. But, the eastern part of this village seems to have the least guards. So that's where we're going.” She walked out of the rubble and started for the area. She called to the others. “Come on.”

Guilmon asked. “But, what about Ice and Labramon?”

She answered. “We can't help them if we get caught. Now come on, we gotta move.” The group started for the area that was safer for the moment.

A group of Coelamon patrolled the area; they grunted as they walked their routes. Snow slowly poked her head out from the brush she and the others were hiding in. When the coast was clear, she stood up and ran to the base of a nearby tree. When she hid beside the tree, she motioned for the others to come over. The others joined her at the tree. They looked around, making sure to check and see if they were still clear. She motioned for them to follow her again before disappearing into the tree. Zipp was shocked at first, but her partner pulled her in. The whole group was hiding inside the tree.

Guilmon spoke. “Hiding tree.”

Zipp asked. “Huh?”

Snow answered. “It's the name of the thing we're in.” She looked at her Digivice, trying to find their friends.

There were two patrol groups in the area they were in. In the southern and western parts, there were five patrol groups. But, in the northern part of the village, there were eight patrols. She guessed that's where Ice and Labramon were being held. It was also a good guess to assume that Snakehydramon was there too. She turned towards the others and motioned for them to gather around.

She explained. “Okay, we've got two groups of Coelamon patrolling this area. We could try to take them out, but I bet their boss has them reporting in every hour. So taking out any of the patrols is out of the question.”

Zipp asked. “So, what do we do?”

Betamon answered. “We either stay hidden until they find us or find a way to get to our friends.”

Guilmon asked. “Is there any way we can get to them without being spotted?”

Snow shook her head before answering. “Not unless two of us decide to be decoys.” She sighed before continuing. “And, even with two of us doing that, there's a probability it won't work.”

Zipp suggested. “How about we give ourselves up?” The group looked at her; she quickly explained. “Hold on! Hear me out! If we give ourselves up willingly, we can probably catch them off guard with a surprise attack.” A sudden thought entered her mind before she lifted her Digivice and tapped the center button. She then scrolled to the screen with the cards before asking. “These cards. Can they be set to go off?”

Snow smiled before answering. “Yes, they can.” She scrolled to the card screen on her Digivice. Before saying. “Just give me a few seconds to set mine. And, then I'll show you how to do it.”

Zipp nodded before turning to Guilmon and explaining the plan to him. After a few minutes of preparation, the group exited the tree and waited for a patrol. Thankfully, they did not have to wait long. The patrol came right on the dot and captured them. The Coelamon laughed wickedly as they brought their prisoners to their boss.

Labramon growled as she threw herself at the bars again. Yelping as her body collided with the unforgiving steel. Ice threw herself on top of her before begging again. “Labramon, stop! You're going to hurt yourself!” She could hear her partner whining.

Labramon replied. “We need to get out of here.”

Ice replied. “I know. Don't worry. Our friends will get us out of here.” She tried her best to sound reassuring. But, she had her doubts.

The Coelamon guarding them chuckled at what little hope they had. Ice glared at them as they laughed. Her glare turned to shock as she saw a group of Coelamon walking towards them. They had the others with them. This wasn't good. Now that they had the others, there was nothing they could do. Earlier, one of the Coelamon said they would get their boss. That wasn't long ago, meaning Snakehydramon could be heading their way now.

Snow and Zipp suddenly shouted. “Data upload!”

Ice gasped as the Coelamon surrounding the two was suddenly blown away. She then remembered that she could have done the same thing. She growled in anger at herself. How could she have forgotten that?! She quickly switched to her card pool and selected a card.

She yelled. “Data upload!”

Snow and Zipp had to duck as multiple iron bars flew over their heads. The two looked and smiled before focusing back on the fight. There were more Coelamon on the way. The group stood back to back. Their Digimon held off wave after wave of Coelamon. But, they were getting tired, even with the cards that replenished their health and stamina. One of the Coelamon managed to jump on Guilmon's back. He cried out for help, but the others were busy. Zipp growled in anger before running over to Guilmon.

She shouted as she jumped into the air. “Get off him!” She hit the Coelamon with enough force to send it flying back. It yelled as it collided with another.

Guilmon thanked her. “Thanks.” She nodded just as another Coelamon lunged at her. He shouted. “Look out!”

Guilmon shoved her out of the way just as Coelamon yelled. “Fossil Bite!”

Zipp watched as the Coelamon's talons stabbed deep into his chest. She was shocked for a moment until she screamed. “Guilmon!”

Her Digivice glowed, and he was surrounded by Digital code. He shouted. “Guilmon Digivolve to!” He grew taller, and two blades appeared out of his arms. Spiked hair grew out of his head as he cleared the field. Not only was he taller, but he was also stronger. He shouted. “Growlmon!”

Growlmon roared as he grabbed the Coelamon that had stabbed him and threw him off. The others had stopped fighting out of shock from his sudden change. Zipp stared at her partner as he turned around and looked at her. They stared at each other for a moment before turning back around. He shouted. “Howling!” His voice echoed loudly through the area. The Coelamon stopped approaching and stood completely still. Each of them looked at him in fear just as he shouted. “Pyro Blaster!” he launched a massive torrent of flame at them.

Some Coelamon were thrown back from the impact of the attack. At the same time, others jumped out of the way. Another voice shouted. “Venom Cannon!”

Green liquid collided with the flame, causing a massive explosion. Smoke covered the area as the blast's shock wave passed around the groups. When the smoke cleared, the Digi-Destined could see who had just joined the fight. It was the Coelamon's leader, Snakehydramon. The champion level Digimon was a three-headed snake virus type. His scales were as thick as armor, and his attacks were his powerful Venom Cannon and his Snake Tail attack.

Growlmon growled at him as he heard him say. “Snake Tail!”

The ground suddenly shook underneath him, causing him to lose his balance just as a large tail erupted from the ground. He yelled as he was suddenly sent flying. Labramon and Betamon tried to help. But, the Coelamon kept them from getting closer. Zipp shouted, “Growlmon!” She opened her card pool and quickly selected a card. She aimed her Digivice at him while shouting. “Data Upload!” The beam shot out as she finished. “Explosive Dude Joe Armor!”

Growlmon felt the energy surround him; armor appeared on his body. His right arm had become a large energy cannon. While in his left hand, a giant shuriken appeared. On his face, a set of goggles appeared. He righted himself in the air as his goggles zeroed in on his target. He aimed his hand cannon at Snakehydramon.

Snakehydramon began to shout. “Venom!”

Growlmon beat him to the draw as he shouted. “Pyro Cannon!” His hand cannon glowed brightly before it shot a small ball of energy. At first, it looked like it would do minor damage. That was until it struck the left head and exploded. The explosion not only severed the head. But, the attack that had been charging in it was still going. The head fell backward, launching the attack as it did. But, the attack struck the right head. The venom burned through its flesh and melted the head off its body. The middle head looked up in horror as Growlmon shouted. “Ripping Shuriken!” The shuriken revved like a chainsaw in his hand before he threw it. A long energy rope was connected to it. The throwing star circled the middle head. Tying the rope around it tight. Growlmon then landed on the ground and pulled. Snakehydramon shouted as its final head severed from its body. But, the attack was not finished. Before the head was entirely severed, the shuriken exploded. Snakehydramon's body then disappeared in a cloud of digital code.

The Coelamon looked at Growlmon in terror. He aimed his arm cannon at them as he threatened. “You're next.”

The Coelamon screamed in fear as they took off running. They shouted and begged for mercy as they left the area. Growlmon then lowered his weapon and De-Digivolved back into Guilmon. Zipp walked up to him as he turned to look at her. He smiled before he started to fall forward; thankfully, Zipp had caught him before he landed face first in the mud. She was thankful that he was safe. The others check on them; Ice used a Regen card on him so that his data would heal faster. However, they had just won the battle. They still had to free the captured Digimon in this zone.

The following day the group was rested, and they were saying their goodbyes to the Digimon they had helped. Gomamon and Penguinmon returned to the village earlier that morning to see if they had won. They were happy to see their friends and family safe. The team finished with their goodbyes and set off again down the trail. They were getting close to Lava Village. They were also getting more relative to Worm.
