Chapter 6: Grizzmon Shines - Part II
--- --- --- ---
Meanwhile, Brian ran back to Palmon's door, repeatedly knocking. “C'mon Palmon! We've got trouble!”
No answer came from the room. “Damnit,” Brian spat. “Finnmon, you gotta break it down.” The digimon nodded.
Inside, Allie heard noises coming from outside. “What's going on?” she shot.
“None of your concern, girl,” Palmon spoke, holding a vile of some sort. “Now, take your medicine!” She said darkly.
“No, I'm fine now,” Allie hopped from the bed. She did feel a lot better after some well deserved rest, even if she did still have a headache. She ran over to the nearest window, pulling back the shades. Her eyes widened at the site. “Oh no, they're in trouble!” Allie shot, watching as Devidramon tore into the digimon like nothing. She quickly turned around only to be faced with Palmon.
“Now, drink it!”
“No, I don't have time for this,” Allie argued, and pushed past her. Just then, she felt a tight grab on her feet as she flew into the ground hard. She looked back to see Palmon's vines wrapped around her ankle.
Allie struggled to get free, but was getting no where. “If you won't take it willingly, I'll force it down your throat!” She threated, popping the top of it. Allie then realized that that was no ordinary medicine, this thing was up to something.
“Rock Crusher!” called a voice muffled by the door. The door flew off it's hinges, flying across the room. Allie looked up to see Finnmon in the door way, and Brian right behind him.
"Brian!" Allie said happily as he and Finnmon entered the room.
“These annoyances have gotten to me for the last time!” Palmon warned, releasing Allie to shoot her vines at Finnmon. The digimon charged forward, tackling the other as the vines wrapped around him. Brian ran over to Allie.
“You alright?” He asked. “For real this time.”
“Yeah,” Allie nodded, as the boy helped her up. “I'm really fine,” she nodded. “What's going on?” She asked worriedly.
“Well, I'll explain the details later,” Brian said. “But now I realize Palmon isn't the great doctor she said she was. And right now, everyone else is fighting Devidramon, probably the strongest digimon we've faced so far.”
“Great,” Allie sighed.
“Leave Palmon to us,” Brian said.
“Yeah! I'll teach this plant-bitch a lesson!” Finnmon called, biting into her arm, causing her to cry out in pain.
“Okay, I'll go help the others,” Allie said, quickly running out of the room. “Hold on Bearmon...” she thought aloud.
--- --- --- ---
Drakemon knelt down, having protected Misumon and Elsumon from the heavy attack. “There's no way we can beat this thing,” he grumbled, watching Bearmon land before them.
Bearmon forced himself up again. “We have to protect Allie and the others,” Bearmon declared. “This guy won't win!”
“Bearmon's right,” Misumon stood up. “We can't let some over-sized lizard take us out!”
Drakemon stood up again, charging another attack. “We'll attack together!”
“Aye, Aye,” Elsumon said, taking to the sky. “Little Breeze!” He flapped his wings, unleashing a gust of wind.
“Sprinkler!” Misumon called, blasting a jet of water from her mouth.
“Flare Stream!” The giant red dragon called, adding to the attacks.
“Little True Punch!” Bearmon called, running at Devidramon again. As the other attacks hit, Bearmon jumped forward, sending the fist into Devidramon's stomach again. The attacks threw the black dragon back, but using his wings, he caught himself.
He flew into the air again, setting sights on Elsumon. “Red Eye!” he shouted, using his eyes, the bird felt strange. Suddenly, he fell to the ground, unable to move.
“Elsumon!” Hewy cried, and tried to run forward, but Tyson stopped him.
“We can't do anything,” he warned. Devidramon flapped his wings, unleashing another gale of darkness. Bearmon was able to avoid the attack this time. Devidramon set eyes on Elsumon for his first kill.
“Elsumon!” Hewy cried out, feeling tears well up in his eyes. Devidramon flew down, claws at the ready. He quickly swiped, only to hit dirt. Confused for a moment, he looked over to see Bearmon standing in front of Elsumon with a determined look on his face.
The enemy sneered. Bearmon wouldn't let his friends be hurt by this dragon. “You dare challenge me, Child?” Devidramon shot.
“I will protect my friends!” Bearmon called back. “Don't worry, Allie, I'll make sure everyone stays safe!”
“How foolish,” Devidramon spoke. With a quick slash, he sent Bearmon flying across the battle field, landing hard in the ground. He found himself unable to get up this time. “Now, your time has come,” the dragon said, raising his glowing claws into the air.
“Bearmon!” Allie called having finally made her way outside. She stood by the rest of the humans.
“Allie, you're alright!” Tyson declared, feeling a bit of relief for a moment.
“Yeah,” Allie nodded. “But Bearmon's in trouble.”
“Don't you dare even try to run out there and help him!” Maia warned. Allie watched as Devidramon lowered over Bearmon. “Maybe Tyson and Jett did, but their enemies weren't nearly this strong.”
“It doesn't matter,” Allie said shaking her head.
“Allie, it's too dangerous!” Hewy said.
Allie wouldn't listen to another word and ran forward. Tyson watched in silence. He knew how she felt, but also realized how dangerous it was, more dangerous than his jump to save Dragomon, or more dangerous than fighting Turuiemon.
“Bearmon!!” Allie called, running towards the fight. Devidramon glanced over, readying his attack.
“Ah, so you're the one,” he sneered. He didn't stop however, and crossed his arms. “Crimson Nail!” He launched the attack at the defenseless Bearmon.
The bear watched helplessly, and closed his eyes. He heard a loud noise, like that of a collision. He opened his eyes to see a bright light around him, and see Allie standing before him. “A-Allie?” Bearmon stood up quickly to see themselves surrounded by a dome of light.
The red energy from the claws was stopped by the dome. Allie had her arms crossed before her. As soon as the attack faded, she dropped her arms, breathing heavily. “Wh-What was that?” she asked, noticing herself in a yellow glow.
“Allie, you saved me,” Bearmon said gratefully.
“Yeah...but how?” the girl asked in awe. “That wasn't like Jett and Tyson...” she said in confusion.
“Do you not know?” Devidramon boomed. Allie looked up at him with a confused expression.
“Know what?” the red-head shot.
“No matter, it will all be over soon,” Devidramon snarled rising to the air. He let out another roar. Allie quickly took out her D-Tech, and knew just what she had to do as the device was glowing brightly.
“Bearmon?”
“Let's go,” the bear nodded, standing next to his partner, feeling fully restored.

“Bearmon...Evolve!”
The bear's outer layer began to tear back as a mass of yellow energy surrounded him. A underlying grid of yellow data revealed itself. The bear's face, legs, hands, and chest all tore away. The yellow data enclosed around him, creating a new form.
It exploded momentarily, revealing a new shape. Blue data closed around the bag legs, and around the front legs, which were now covered in red gloves with sharp claws at the end, with shoulder pads to match. His underbelly was now white as was his muzzle. The new digimon took the form of a blue grizzly bear. On his forehead was a white crescent moon. He let out a roar much like a bear's. He slammed down on the ground.
“Grizzmon!”
010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010
The light faded revealing the newly evolved digimon. He was much bigger than Bearmon, and stood at Allie's height on all fours. “Bearmon...you evolved?” Allie said in shock. The bear emitted a growl as a response.
“Wow, they did it!” Brian said, rejoining the others.
“Brian?” Maia said quickly. “Where were you?”
“Just taking care of something,” he motioned back to see Palmon entwined in her own vines on the ground next to a victorious Finnmon. She was flailing about angrily, mumbling obscenities that couldn't be heard.
“What are you doing?” Maia asked in shock. “She was trying to help!”
“Yeah, help to poison her,” Brian defended. Maia gave him a confused look. “That grape root she needed was for some sort of poison.” Brian repeated. “We'll worry about that later, for now, let's be ready to help if needed.”
“How interesting...” Devidramon smirked, landing down before Grizzmon. “I wasn't aware you'd be able to reach evolution...”
“I will do whatever it takes to protect my partner!” Grizzmon shouted.
“And our friends!” Allie added firmly. “Grizzmon! Let's show this guy what happens when he messes with out friends!” The girl exclaimed.
“Gladly,” the digimon growled, his voice now much deeper than Bearmon's.
“What makes you think you can beat me now?” Devidramon challenged, extending his arms. Grizzmon pulled himself up to only two legs, lunging forward as the two interlocked each others claws. Fierce growls came from each of them.
“You won't win!” Grizzmon declared, forcing all of his strength into is arms. Devidramon noticed this however, and weakened his own hold. Grizzmon lost his footing and fell forward right at Devidramon.
“Crimson Nail!” He called quickly, slashing his claws against Grizzmon, stopping him, and throwing him back into the ground. He hit and a large cloud of dust rose up around him flying at Allie. She was temporarily blinded for a moment.
As the dust cleared, she opened her eyes to see Devidramon standing before her. “My master will be pleased,” the dark dragon smirked.
Devidramon raised his claw into the air as Allie watched petrified with fear. “Wha-?!” The dragon cringed, feeling a hard clamp on his tail. Allie saw Grizzmon behind him holding tightly with his teeth. Devidramon whipped around as Grizzmon released his tail. The black dragon lunged forward, claws extended. Grizzmon was ready this time. “Crimson Nail!”
Grizzmon was able to avoid the attack he'd seen coming, stepping quickly to the side. The bear got up on two legs again, letting out a roar. “Counter!” He shouted, driving his claws into Devidramon who had left himself open.
The claws tore into the dark dragon's side, throwing him back. Devidramon caught himself, standing up again. He was growling loudly with anger. He beat his wings rapidly. “Demonic Gale!”
“Flare Stream!” Drakemon called, intercepting the attack with a stream of fire, managing to cut through, leaving little to no damage to Grizzmon. The red dragon stood next to Grizzmon. “Need a hand?” He offered.
“Thanks, Drakemon,” Grizzmon said, landing back on all fours ready for Devidramon again. “Let's attack together!” Grizzmon called as the two Adults charged forward.
Drakemon and Grizzmon ran forward, claws at the ready. Drakemon jumped ahead, slashing his long claws at Devidramon, who used his arm to defend himself. He jumped aside, allow Grizzmon to attack next. The grizzly bear drove his claws into Devidramon who was now undefended. The attack cut into his abdomen, causing him to cringe.
The dark dragon bent over, data leaking from his fresh wounds. “I cannot be defeated like this!” He shot. “Red Eye!” He called, glaring at Grizzmon with a demonic gaze.
Drakemon ran before Grizzmon, taking the paralyzing attack. “Drakemon!” Grizzmon shot. The red dragon was now frozen, kneeling on the ground.
“It's your turn, Grizzmon,” Drakemon said, unable to move anything except his mouth. “Show him...what you're made of!” As he said that, his body glowed and he devolved to Dragomon, lying on the ground, still paralyzed.
Grizzmon growled, landing on all fours. “Looks like it all comes down to one attack, doesn't it?” Devidramon declared. “Demonic Gale!” He cried, beating his wings rapidly to send a very powerful blast of darkness at Grizzmon.
The grizzly bear stood firmly, showing no signs of backing down. The crescent shape on his head began to glow brightly. “As I said before, no one will get away with hurting my friends!” Grizzmon called, as the light on his forehead got extremely bright. Just with the light alone, the powerful Demonic gale was torn through.
Allie watched in awe as her once little teddy-bear partner was now a fierce, powerful grizzly bear. It was scary in a sense, but it was also good to know she could count on Grizzmon to protect her. She'd even go so far as to say she trusted him...
The light on Grizzmon's head shined brightly, blinding everyone around the area. “Crescent Dawn!” He roared. A powerful blast of light shot from the bear's mouth. It flew incredibly fast at Devidramon, cutting through him in an instant.
Devidramon cried in pain as the light faded, he was fully dissolving. “You...shall not win, humans!” he cried before his head was dissolved. The data escaped to the sky.
“Wow...” Hewy said in awe, as the others were.
“That's...Bearmon?” Maia asked again, still rather stunned. Tyson stood with a smile.
“I knew they could do it,” he added. “I'm alway—well, mostly right, you know,” he said, in order to avoid another fight between himself and Maia. Tyson quickly ran over to Dragomon who seemed to finally be able to move.
Grizzmon looked back at Allie with a calmed look on his face. The girl was slightly afraid, but shook it off, standing up. “Thanks, Bearmon...well Grizzmon,” she said with a chuckle, putting a hand on the grizzly's muzzle. The bear smiled before glowing brightly. He shrunk back into Bearmon who was exhausted, and barely conscious.
“Did I do okay?” he asked, hopefully.
Allie smiled at the young digimon adding a chuckle. “You did great.”
“Does that mean I can eat now?” The bear asked, hopefully.
“Of course,” the girl said, adjusting the yellow baseball cap on her head. “You can eat all you want.” Bearmon smiled happily before drifting off into a peaceful rest.
“What a day,” Brian sighed, putting his hand to his forehead. He looked back to Finnmon and gasped. “Hey!” He noticed that Palmon was gone and Finnmon was on the ground, this time wrapped in vines.
“Allie!” Maia called to the girl, who looked right at her. She saw Palmon standing before her.
“You again?” Allie shot.
“You may have gotten away once, but not again!” Palmon called, extending her vines to wrap around Allie's arm.
“Let go!” Allie ordered, trying to pull away.
“Or what?!” Palmon shot, she had snapped.
“Or else you'll be fried,” Tyson said, cracking his knuckles, standing behind Palmon with a devious grin.
“What is some human going to do?” Palmon scoffed. As Palmon was distracted, Allie pulled on the vines, pulling her forward. Tyson lit his hand with fire as he shot it into the plant's back. In a burst of flames, the child digimon dissolved, releasing Allie.
“Cool, didn't know I could do that,” he chuckled.
“You mean...you...?” Allie didn't need to finish her sentence, and just sighed as Tyson laughed.
Dragomon stumbled over to his partner, still in a daze. “Tyson...I can't move my tail,” he said, weakly. He tried to wag it, but it just slumped down.
“Can we eat now?” Hewy pleaded, helping Elsumon to his feet. He was standing next to Tyson and Allie.
“I agree,” Allie added. “I'm starving.”
“We're all hungry, so let's get some food,” Maia added, rejoining Tyson, Allie, Hewy, and the digimon.
“That sounds like a great idea!” Brian called, having finally released Finnmon from the vines.
“That damn plant!” Finnmon grumbled. “Let's just get some food before I get even more cranky.”
Bearmon's eye cracked open. “Can we get fish?” He asked, hopefully.
“Sure,” Allie added with a hint of disgust. “Who likes fish?”
A few Alraumon approached the kids when they realized their village was finally safe. “We thank you Guardians very much,” The blue-topped plant said.
“I take it these guys aren't Palmon?” Allie whispered to Maia.
“Yeah, they're good,” Maia added. “They seem to actually like humans.”
“We request that you join us for a feast,” the Alraumon said.
“A feast?!” Dragomon's ears perked up.
“Like, I'd totally love you to come, Dragomon!” The valley-girl Alraumon said, latching onto the dragon's arm.
“Yes, then we shall offer you a place to rest for as long as you need, and any supplies you may need on your journey,” the other Alraumon, now presumed to be a sort of leader, added.
“We would be very grateful,” Brian said, before Tyson was able to speak. “Thank you.” The Alraumon bowed to them, and signaled for them to follow. They did, finally on their way to some food and a night of well deserved sleep.
To Be Continued...
