Warning: This was written before Vol 4 Episode 3.
She stared at her surrounding in confusion; she doesn't know where she is right now. One moment she was staring at the beeping scroll in her room and then her she was, in a weird ruin-like corridor. She could hear the sound of water drifting from somewhere. Why someone would bring her to this place and left her here?
She shake head. There is no use thinking about it right now, she needs to get out of this place. She started to walk through this weird corridor; she doesn't know why she thought this place was 'weird', because she has seen her shares of ancient ruin around Beacon area.
Beacon...
She wonder if Ruby was alright? Maybe her sister encounter a Grimm that she can't defeat and in danger right now and meanwhile she, the 'responsible' big sister staring at window in her bedroom because she can't even bothered to care about her own sister.
She shakes her head again, there is no use thinking about it.
First she needed to get out of this and then she is going to regain her balance and then she is going to catch up with Ruby and find Blake along the way.
"Hm? What is this?" She looked at the wall beside here, there are carving of a dragon on the wall, under the dragon were words in a language that she can't understand.
What is this place? She can't shake the feeling that this place is not made by human and by that she does not mean Faunus either.
She walked further through this endless corridor until she come to a split, another one of those weird symbols was written in each one of those splitting corridor.
Go to the left...
A voice whispered into her ears...
Get away from her!
...
She shook her head.
She can't trust this voice.
She walked into the right corridor.
The scenery change from that of a ruin into that of military base, wall of steel surrounding her, to her this place has become more and more bizarre, she continued walking until she come across a door.
Hesitantly she reached out for the handle and with soft click she turned it and opened the door.
"What..." Her eyes widen, this place look like a control room with some kind of weird interface system that she never see before.
What is more surprising however there was a person? Or a robot? Lying in the middle of the room.
She want to believe it was a machine but the uncovered legs of it showed that it is an organic being.
Carefully she approached it and inspects the 'robot'.
Its body was humanoid with overly long pair of arms that strangely different in length, its eyes were closed and she could see that the eyes were made of flesh or at least flesh-like thing with big vein around it.
She tries to poke the thing head with her finger.
Its eyes snap opened.
"Urgghhh!" She grunts as she was sent flying through the wall.
"Intruder." The thing was already on its feet, staring at her with blue glowing eyes. "Scanning... threat level: Green. Destroy with minimum force." It walked toward her, intending to finish her off.
"Tch..." She does not have ember celica with her, would she fight or run?
You should run, go back and take the left corridor!
Who was she kidding, of course she fights.
She launched herself as left hand clench into a fist, ready to strike the robot.
"What?" It catches her fist with its left hand.
"Ughh!" Pain spread through her body as the thing right fist connects with her stomach.
This thing hit harder than the paladin.
She could feel the energy filling her as her semblance does its work.
She ran toward it, this time carefully avoiding the robot grab, the wind from the robot hand blew her hair but she succeed in dodging it.
Stop, his body is made of chrome digizoid. Your attack won't work!
Now.
She strike with all of her power.
"What." Her eyes widen seeing that the thing took her hit with no visible damage.
"Urgghh!" Once again she was sent flying against the wall.
Will you hear me out now? The voice once again whispers in her head.
It look like she has no choice.
Hah, at last! The voice sound happy.
"So, what do I do now?" She asked out loud, staring at the slowly approaching robot. "Threat level green huh..." She smile wryly, this thing was just playing with her.
Come back and took the path I told you to.
She really does not want to trust this voice, but you have no choice. The voice cut her off.
Rude.
Sorry.
She took off toward where she come from with the thing chase her from behind.
She arrived into what seemed to be an altar room with red and blue cable that seemed really out of place in a ruin, connecting to the altar in the middle.
"That is a big sword." She eyed the golden and black sword on top of the altar.
Thanks for the compliment, now pull me out!
"This is really suspicious." She eyed the sword. "Are you a cursed sword or something similar?"
Rude.
"Sorry." She said, for some reason that remark make her want to apologize.
"Wait, what is that drilling sound?" She eyes the long and dark hallway that she came from.
Oh, he's going to catch up! Pull me out now!
[Spiral Sword]
A flash of blue light goes straight toward her, her instinct told her to grab the sword.
"Arrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" She scream as soon as she pull the gigantic sword out of it's resting place and the hot white flame burning through her whole body.
The blue light was about to hit her when the gigantic sword on her hand move by itself to block it.
The clash between the golden sword and the blue light caused a massive explosion inside the room and caused the area to be filled with smoke.
Are you still conscious?
The voice that whisper in her head snapped her out from the painful trance.
"What was that?" She hissed, her body was still in pain.
Sorry about that, my power is so great that no ordinary ultimate level digimon could wield me your body is the same, it can't handle the surge of my power so it caused you pain.
"Change priority, threat level: red. Exterminate with full power." A voice said.
The robot was right in front of her.
That robot is called Andromon and it considers you a big threat, because of your weak body you only have shot, made it count!
Andromon chest opened, revealing two flesh-like missiles that shot straight toward her.
She raised the sword, the pain strike all of her body.
She swing.
BOOM!
She opened her eyes as she stared into an unfamiliar steel ceiling in front of her. She try to get up only for her body to be struck with pain all over it, but the pain mostly focused on her remaining left arms.
"Urgghh..." She grunted in pain as she try to get into sitting position.
"Ah! You're awake!" A voice that somehow feel familiar to her said, she could hear footstep getting closer to her. "Be careful..." The voice said and she feels something is touching her back. "Let me help you up."
She got into a sitting position and realizes that she was lying in an iron bed. "Thanks..." She turned around and thanked the person who helps her up. "Wait, what are you?" She raised her eyebrow at the furred lizard in what seemed to be mistralian armor in front of her.
"I'm Ryudamon!" The furred lizard called Ryudamon smiled at her. "Thanks for pulling me back there!"
"No proble-"'wait a second...' "Pulling you up?"
"Yes, I'm the sword that helps you defeat andromon!" Sword?
...
The event of yesterday came back to her in an instant, exploring the ruin, hearing suspicious voice, getting chased by killer zombie robot and pulling a giant sword that even she doubt Yatshuhashi could handle.
She glares at the helmed lizard.
"Explain to me why did you bring me here?" She asked.
"Well, you were wounded in our fight against Andromon..." The lizard told her.
"No." She snapped. "Why did you bring me to this place!? I was in my home just a moment ago! You were the first voice that I heard the moment I come in here, don't tell me you don't know anything! And what is that zombie robot thing anyway?"
"I do not know, honest." The lizard look at her in the eyes, it made her want to flinch. "But I'm grateful." It said. "Do you know how many years I have been stuck in that altar? Let me tell you. One thousand four hundred seventy two years." It paused. "Look I am sorry that I used you to pull me out but I don't want to be stuck there anymore."
She look back at it in the eyes, she can't get mad at this thing anymore but still she needed to go back home.
"What about this, as a payment for letting me out I will help you find your way home you needed someone to help you navigate through the digital world after all. I doubt a human like you ever go to the digital world before." It said.
"Wait, digital world?" She looked at him strangely.
"Yes, this is the digital world, home of digital monster or digimon for short." It said. "That zombie robot is an Andromon he is the security guard of this place and also a digimon, just like I am."
"Wow, wow. Wait a second." She almost forget her depression at hearing such a ridiculous explanation. "I am in another world? Haha..." She paused and glare. "Prove it."
"Okay." It said. "Can you stand?"
She try to stand up even if moving her body alone was painful and she succeed. "So, how do you going to prove it to me?" She asked it.
"Let's go outside." It walked to the door and opens it. "Come on." The lizard urged her.
She follows.
They walked through a long steel walked hallway, it look like the path she walked before but the road was going slightly upward.
"Where are we going?" She asked the lizard.
"Like I say, we're going outside." It looked annoyed at her question.
They continued to walk iuntil they arrived at a big steel gate, she assumes behind that gate was the outside world. She swallowed her own saliva; she really had a bad feeling about this.
Sound of heavy footstep rang around the corridor, she quickly turned around and saw the previous killer robot that almost killed her, and she quickly took a stance.
"Don't worry." The lizard put his and in front of her pacifying manner. "I have rewritten his program; he won't try to kill you anymore." It turned to the robot. "Andromon, please open the gate for me." It orders the robot.
"Yes master." The robot comply, her body tensed as the robot walked pass her and toward some kind of control panel near the gate.
The gate opened with creaking sound almost as if it was not opened in a long time.
"Come on." The lizard nudged her.
She followed.
What greeted her was mountain breezes, in front of her was beautiful forest under the starry night sky, on the other side she could see sandy beach and dark sea and on another site she could see desert.
It was as if she was seeing a folded background because the cut from the forest to beach and desert and pretty split even.
And one thing strikes her the most.
There was no Grimm as far as she could see.
She looks at the lizard, doubt starting to fill on her heart. "This place is strange alright but this does not prove anything."
"Look up." The lizard simply said.
She complies and her eyes widen in shock. No way.
"hahahaha..." She laugh, she can't believe what she was looking at. "There is no way that there was three moons here. Three intact moon." She shook her head. "No, just no." She wobbled around almost falling to the ground, the lizard catch her before it could happen.
"Believe it." The lizard told her. "You are here. But I will help you, just like you helped me." It stared at her in the eyes.
"Why?" Was the only word that coming out of her mouth.
"Because you helped me." The scaled and furred claw hold her hand.
"My name is Ryudamon, what is yours?" The lizard no... Ryudamon asked her.
"My name is Yang. Yang Xiao Long." She told him.
"Nice to meet you Yang." Ryudamon smiled. "And welcome to Iliad."
