Chapter 7

Dance with the Devil

Okay, even though I haven't gotten 3 reviews for the last chapter, I'm still back in the Digimon mood. Well, anyway, on to the reviews I did get.

foxchick1: That will revealed later.

stormking22: What can I say? I love that season.

All right everybody... Let's kick it up!

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

We join our heroes as they climb up Malware Mountain. Towards the back of the group, Konohamaru couldn't help but feel that something was off. He then walked up to the other young member of the group.

"Hey, Hanabi-Chan?" He asked her.

"Yes, Konohamaru-San?" The young Hyuuga asked back.

"Is it me or has it been getting colder the closer we get to the top of the mountain." Kono asked, having a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach

"Now, that you mention it, I have. It might have something to do with who ever has been sending the Black Mist Digimon after us." She suggested.

"I was thinking the same thing. Naruto Nii-San and the others must be thinking that too." He said.

"Possibly." Hanabi said as se started to focus on Hinata and Renamon. Since the fight with Dokugamon, she had been thinking about how Hinata had rushed to her side despite how she had always chastised her for her lack of skill and how she had been raised to be Hinata's rival for the spot of clan leader.

"Hanabi?" Salamon asked from next to her. But getting no response from the younger Hyuuga. "Hey, Hanabi!" Salamon called as she jumped on her shoulder.

"Oh. Sorry, Salamon. What were you saying?" Hanabi asked.

"I was just saying how Patamon and I were going to make sure that nothing happened to the two of you." Salamon said with a smile.

"Thanks, Salamon." Hanabi said as she rubbed Salomon's head.

After a few more minutes of walking, the group arrived at what seemed to be a Japanese style mansion.

"Does this smell like a trap to anyone else?" Kiba asked.

"Reeking of one, if you ask me." Ino replied.

"I don't think we should go in." Hinata said, looking to Naruto for confirmation and saw he already had his device open, confirming that the others should prepare for a fight.

"The master warned us that you might be smarter than to fall for this." Dobermon said as he walked out of the doorway before a large white Gorilla looking Digimon with a cannon for a right arm jumped down from a tree and a black gelatinous Digimon with sharp claws and fangs and tubes coming out of its back.

"That's Gorillamon and Raremon." Patamon explained.

"Anything to look out for besides that cannon?" Naruto asked as he glanced back.

"Raremon can shoot out a toxic gas called 'Breath of Decay'. It does terrible damage to plant attribute Digimon." Salamon said, gaining a nod from Naruto.

"Got it. So, Lalamon should avoid that." Naruto said to Ino before signaling Shikamaru to back her up against Gorrillamon and signaling for Hinata and Kiba to have their Digimon take Raremon while he would have Dorumon take Dobermon. "Let's do this." Naruto said as everyone who could activated the Digivolve code.

"Dorumon, Digivolve to... Dorugamon!"

"Renamon, Digivolve to... Kyubimon!"

"Kudamon, Digivolve to... Reppamon!"

"Lalamon, Digivolve to... Sunflowmon!"

"Gaomon, Digivolve to... Gaogamon!"

The five Digimon quickly split up and took their respective opponents.

Sunflowmon flew around Gorrillamon, gaining his attention before flash banging him before Reppamon attempted to stab him with his tail only for it to get grabbed by Gorrillamon's actual hand and was thrown by the blinded Digimon before he attempted to blast him only for Sunflowmon to use her Sunshine Beam to shoot the blast away.

Gorrillamon then turned around once more to blast the two again giving Sunflowmon to fire her Sunshine Beam in to the barrel of his cannon, causing it to backfire before Reppamon used his Vacuum Kamaitaichi to knock the Black mist out of him.

Gaogamon and Kyubimon rushed forward before Raremon attempted to fire some of his sludge at the two of them to dodge to the side and flanking her with on both sided before being swatted by Raremon.

Raremon then attempted to hit the two Digimon with her Breath of Decay only for Kyubimon to ignite it with her Foxtail Inferno, staggering Raremon long enough for Gaogamon to shoot out a Spiral Blow which Kyubimon then entered the middle of and used it to boost her Dragon Wheel to become massive and easily defeat the gelatinous Digimon.

Dorugamon flew over Dobermon dodging repeated Black Beams before looping abound and hitting him with a top speed Metal Cannon, knocking him over.

Dourgamon then turned around to meat up with the others only for Dobermon to jump back up and try to attack him from behind. Naruto instinctively jumped in between them and blocked the bite with his arm, causing the canine Digimon to bite in to his device as a bright light came forth making a dark layer appear and shatter from Dobermon's body.

"Wh-what happened?" Dobermon asked as he struggled to his feat and looking at Naruto's arm. "That. That's a Digivice." He said in whispered shock before looking all around at the others "You are the Digidestined." He said.

"The what?" Naruto asked before hearing the wood of the nearby building crack. He, Dourgamon and Dobermon then jumped back as they just narrowly avoided Neodevimon who busted out to attack them.

The seven children and eight Digimon looked on in fear at the demonic creature before them as he looked to see Raremon and Gorrilamon. Without a single word, he extended his claws out and brought them down on the two Digimon, reducing them to particles.

"Pathetic." He said before Kyubimon and Reppamon leapt at him only for him to coldly call out " Stun Claw." and grabb the two of them by the throat, digging his eclectically charged claws in to the two, making them unable to move, before he slammed their faces together and tossing them away.

Sunflowmon and Gaogamon tried to use their attacks against Neodevimon only for the demon like Digimon to use his wings to cause the attacks to blast back and hit them. Neodevimon then turned to Konohamaru and Hanabi, thinking to him self. 'It was the small one from the last group that led him betraying us last time. He thought before he began walking to the young members of the group with his claws extended to attack when he was then hit the face by a Metal Cannon. But didn't even flinch.

"You actually managed to hit me." Neodevimon growled before angrily yelling out "Deep Sorrow!" Opening his wings a wave of darkness went over the Digimon and reducing the hero Digimon back to their Rookie forms and blasted off the mountain in random directions, leaving only Naruto and Dorumon lying in pain on a cliff side as Dobermon once again struggled to get up.

"You... Must... Stop him." Dobermon struggled to say as Neodevimon began stalking towards them. "Go. Find your comrades." He said.

"Come with us." Naruto begged as he used his shoulder to prop up Dorumon.

"He would be able to catch you too easily." Dobermon said before stabbing his back claw in to the ground, causing the cliff to fall.

"Dobermon!" Naruto and Dorumon shouted as they fell, watching Dobermon rush toward Neodevimon while firing off several Black Beams.

Neodevimon simply swatted the beams away before grabbing him by the throat and called out Guilty Claw as a layer of darkness began to overtake his body. 'Good luck, Digidestined.' Dobermon thought before screaming out in pain as the darkness took his mind once again.

At the base of the mountain, Naruto staggered to his feet, while lifting Dorumon on to his shoulder.

"Come on, buddy. We gotta get out of here." As he dragged the unconscious Digimon to find a place to hide and heal up until they could look for the others.

Back on top of the mountain, Dobermon was once again bowing to Neodevimon.

"Now, find those brats and finish them off." Neodevimon commanded.

"At once, Lord Neodevimon." Dobermon said before jumping down the side of the mountain.

Naruto had managed to find a near by cave for he and Dorumon to hide in. He watched with a large amount guilt as Dobermon, back under Neodevimon's control. Thankfully, he did not notice the two of them as Naruto ducked down and quietly dragged Dorumon further in to the cave.

Meanwhile on other ends of the Island, the others could be found unconscious. Ino and Lalamon were face down in a desert. A small amount of vines wrapped around both of them before pulling them in to a giant cactus.

Kiba and Gaomon were both knocked out and were hanging between the branches of a tree.

Hinata and Renamon were on a beach. The Vulpine Digimon had managed to come to and get her Human partner underneath some near by rocks which they were able to use as a shelter.

Konohamaru and Patamon were in what seemed to be a small village when a white wing came over them before pulled them gently in to a house.

Shikamaru and Kudamon were floating down a river. The current just barley made him go to the edge of the water before he would have hit a waterfall.

Hanabi and Salamon were at the foot of a staircase of a Greek style temple in the heart of a jungle when the shadow of a humanoid Digimon with a pointed hat reached the bottom of the stairs before lifting up a broom which caused the young Hyuuga to float before gently picking up Salomon in a large, clawed hand with a red glove.
