The Ninth Digidestined

by Rowan

Part 1

Stormy Wolf screamed.  She was falling through a whirling vortex.  It seemed never-ending.  What was happening to her?  Before she could try to find an answer, she landed, face first, on hard rocky soil.  She groaned and looked around. 

"Where am I?" she asked herself queitly.

"The Digital World," a voice answered, as if that was appearent.

She let out a yell and jumped up, only to see a monster.  Her mouth dropped open, though many would have ran, something held her there.  Stormy searched her memories, she knew she had seen something like the creature in front of her, but before she could come up with the memory, the monster turned and yelled.

"Joe!!  Everybody!!  Come here!!  I found another human!!"he yelled.

8 other kids, mostly around her age, came running, all accompained by one of the strange creatures.  A kid with very big hair took a step towards her.

"Who are you?"he asked.

Another boy stepped from the group, his hair looked as if he'd used three bottles of gel on it.

"And how did you get here?"he demaned.

"I'm Stormy Wolf, and I don't know how I got here.  Where is here anyway?  And who are you?"Stormy said shakily.

"This is Digi World, Stormy,"a girl with a blue hat told her,"I'm Sora, that's Tai,"she siad pointing to the kid with the big hair,"that's Matt,"she pointed to the other kid,"And we're digidestined, you must be too if you got here."

Stormy felt sick, this was too much to process.

"I'm Izzy,"a short kid with reddish hair and a computer told her.

"That's aka the computer geek,"the boy Sora said was Tai told her.

"Be nice,"a young girl with a whistle told him, she turned and smiled at her,"I'm Kari."

"Another digidestined?  Cool!"the other young kid, who was in green said.

"That's T.K,"Sora told Stormy.

"Your outfit totally doesn't match,"the girl in pink told her,"I'm Mimi, I'll help you with that."

Stormy raised an eyebrow at her.

"Don't pay any attention to her, you'll just get a headache,"the last kid told her.

"Don't pay any attention to Joe,"Mimi retorted.

"Stop fighting,"Sora exclaimed.

The two shut up.

"She can't be digidestined,"Matt said,"She doesn't have a digimon or a digivice."

Izzy caught her puzzled look.

"This is a digivice,"he explained, holding a strange object to her . . and it was exactly what she had found not to long ago.

"I have one of those!!"Stormy exclaimed, holding her's out.

"See?"Sora told Matt.

"So?  She still doesn't have a digimon partner,"he rapped back.

She felt dazed, she didn't have a clue about what they were talking about.

"Maybe we should explain everything to her,"Joe suggested.

They all nodded.

Fifteen minutes later, everything made sense to Stormy.  What digimon were, why she was here, everything.  But Matt was right, she didn't have a digimon yet. 

"Hey!!  There's a stray digimon here!!"Tai shouted.

Stormy, along with everyone else came up to him.  And indeed, there was a digimon.  A black dog and cat like digimon.

"I'm not a stray digimon!"it growled.

"That's Catamon,"Patamon exclaimed,"She gives her eneimies a nasty shock with her Sun Spark!"

Catamon spotted Stormy and walked up to her, stopping in front of her.

"Hi Stormy!!  It looks like we're parteners!,"Catamon told her.

She stood in awe.  Her, Stormy Wolf's, very own digimon.

"There's still one problem,"Izzy said.

"What's that?" T.K asked him.

"It's simple, she doesn't have a crest,"he replied.

She looked around.  It seemed that no one else had thought of this.

"Yes she does,"Catamon told him.

"How so?"he asked stiffly.

She turned her head to her collar, and came away with a tag and crest in her mouth.

"How'd you end up with a crest?"Tai asked her.

Catamon shrugged and gave it to Stormy.

"Thanks!"she told Catamon.

"No problem,"she replied.

"I wonder what kind of crest it is,"Kari piped up.

Catamon yawned lazily and replied,"It's the crest of Understanding."

"Oh, wow!"Mimi exclaimed, craning her head to get a better look at it.

Stormy stared at it, on the crest there was star.  That was it.

"Cool,"Matt said.

Suddenly the digimon tensed up.

"What is it?" Sora asked Biyomon.

"I'm not sure, but something's wrong,"she told Sora.

Everybody tensed.  A cold wind blew, bringing in black smoke.  The black smoke took form, into MarineDevimon!!  Mimi screamed.

"Hello, digidestined, or should I say digifools!!"he sneered at them.

"You've got to warp digivolve!!"Tai told Agumon.

"You too, Gabumon!,"Matt said to his digimon.

"We can't, we're to weak for that,"Agumon told them.

Gabumon nodded when Matt looked at him.

"Looks like everyone's in the Ultimat level,"Izzy said.

Light surrounded the digimon, all but Catamon, they spoke and when the light cleared, their champion forms stood there.  But not for long, they digivolved again, and this time when the light cleared, 8 ultimates stood in the place where there rookie forms once had been.

"You don't have the power to destroy me!" MarineDevimon laughed cruely.

"We can try!!"Tai yelled,"Get him MetalGreymon!!"

"Giga Blaster,"MetalGreymon yelled.

He just laughed and held up a hand, and the attacks froze.  Tai narrowed his eyes.  The fight was on, but try as the digimon might, they couldn't put even a nick on him.

"I thought you said he was an Ultimate!" Matt yelled at Izzy.

"He is!!" he yelled back.

Stormy listened and watched when a phantom voice spoke to her.

Stormy, you must help the digidestined, you too are digidestined, you must work with them!the voice said.

"Who are you?"she whispered, terrified.

Never mind that, Stormy listen to me.  You are the only one that can stop MarineDevimon.

What do you mean? she thought

Remember that night 5 years ago?

Yes

That was MarineDevimon, you are the only one who knows how to defeat him, and Catamon is the only digimon that can beat him.  Do you understand?

"Yes,"Stormy said aloud.

Catamon looked at her strangely.

"I know how to beat MarineDevimon, Catamon,"she told her digimon,"But I need your help."

Catamon nodded firmly.

"It's my turn now, goodbye, digifools,"MarineDevimon said coldly.

"You have to digivolve,"she hissed to Catamon.

"Gladly,"she replied.

Light surrounded her.

"Catamon digivolve to Flagamon!"Catamon said as queitly as she could.

The light cleared, and there stood a huge winged dog with the tail and legs of a cat, and chest armour.

"Again?"Flagamon asked Stormy.

She nodded, knowing that only in Ultimate form could MarineDevimon be defeated.  Her crest and digivice glowed, so did Flagamon.

"Flagamon digivolve to FreeFallmon!!"Flagamon whispered.

The glow subsided.  Stormy gasped.  FreeFallmon had a human face, hair, a human arm, and leg.  Her other arm and leg was that of a black panther''s.  She had the tail of a black panther, an amber visor over her eyes, and blue and black wings.

"Evil Win-"MarineDevimon started, but was cut off.

"You're done for, MarineDevimon!!"Stormy yelled, nodding to FreeFallmon.

She flew up to MarineDevimon.

"Call your digimon off,"Stormy told the group.

"Are you nuts?"Tai asked.

"No,"she replied,"I know how to beat him, and FreeFallmon is the only one that can do it."

"We should do what she says,"Kari said.

"Just keep them from attacking,"Stormy said, turning to face the fight.

"You are not going to win, MarineDevimon,"FreeFallmon told him.

"Ha!!  I can easily destroy you,"he sneered,"But if you insist, Darkness Wa-"

"Ray of Fate!!"she cried, cutting him off.

A rainbow beam of light crashed into MarineDevimon . . .
