~~~~ Chap. 2
They attacted, the feeble gathering of Rookie and In-training digimon that had no hope of winning. Moukomon was among the first to reach him.
"Poison Beam!" she shouted, but was swatted away like a fly by Daemon's giant hand. She hit the ground a few feet from Ruby. She tried to stand, but failed. She and Ruby turned to a loud crash nearby. A Gotsumon hit a tree hard, and put a large gash in the tree, falling unconsios at the roots.
All Ruby and Moukomon could hear were cries of pain and worry, along with Daemon's triumphant laughter. Suddenly his power seemed to wane, and he shrunk.
"CURSES!" he shouted "My limited power is leaving! I must return to the Dark Ocean!"
None of the digimon had any energy left to attack, and could only watch in sileince. Silience, that is, except for a little girl who was crying beside her fallen Gotsumon.
Just before he dissapeared, Daemon managed one final shout.
"Minions! return to me in the Dark Ocean! I will be waiting for help to dominate both Worlds!" His voice rebervated in the ears of the digi-destined and their digimon, and in fact, it had reached to all corners of the digital world, calling for his so called 'minions'
"Koushiro!" yelled a tall girl with purple hair and giant glasses, "We need to get home! open a digi-gate on your laptop!"
The orange haired boy nodded, and promtly pulled out an orange laptop. In one last attempt to stop us, a small beam of black light came from the spot Daemon had dissapeared, knocking Koushiro's laptop on the ground. Something inside it popped, and a small cloud of grey smoke emerged.
"Nooooo!" Koushiro yelled, "Not.. My laptop!" He knelt down and grabbed it, then held it close to him. "This better be fixable," he muttered. Only Ruby heard him.
No one seemed to know what to do. Their way of getting home was gone. They were stuck.
Ruby looked around, waiting for someone to take charge, but no one seemd to. She decided, to do what she could, until someone more sutable came along to take over.
"Digimon and Digi-destined!" she shouted, "We have to get out of this area! Soon daemon's groupies will be here, and they won't be in a very socialble mood. We need to leave, and quickly!" That seemed to snap the group out of their daze, and one girl, who was dressed in an Indian like fashion, asked, "But which way?"
"Uhh..." Ruby faltered. She hadn't thought that far ahead.
"It appears we have little choice," Stated Koushiro matter-of-factly. He seemed to have gotten over the loss of his laptop, although he still clutched it to his chest, "If we go that way, we go back to the weird dimension" he pointed to the break in the sky, "And to our sides are cliffs. We have no choice but to go that way." He pointed to the wide path leading out of the canyons.
The group nodded collectivly.
As the collection of international digi-destined advance down the chasm, Ruby walked back to the little girl and her gotsumon.
"Is he awake?" she asked softly.
She looked up as if she didn't understand english. She said something in mexican, which Ruby didn't understand, but by the way the girl broke down crying again, she got the point.
Ruby crouched down, and hoisted the heavy digimon onto her back, and set of at a slow walk. The girl brightened, and kept pace beside her.
She pointed to herself, "Rosa."
Ruby smiled and nodded, "Ruby."
Rosa giggled and pointed to herself again. "Rosa, " she pointed to Ruby, "Ruby!"
Ruby nodded, which made Rosa giggle again.
"Oh puny humans...." Came a voice on the top of the canyon wall. They all looked up, only to see a group of DarkRizamon's glaring down at the humans and digimon.
"Prepare to be anniliated. Daemon will reward us greatly for your destruction."
They laughed as they begain to make their way down the steep walls.
"RUN!" shouted Ruby, "We're no match for them!"
And they did, taking off at full speed through the cliffs. Ruby's foot slammed into a rock, causing her to hit the ground hard. The weight of the Gotsumon took its toll however, and she felt and heard a sickening crack inside her chest. A pair of shoes skidded to a stop beside her. A small seal-like digimon jumped out of the persons arms, which right after grabbed her hand and yanked her to her feet, despite the Rock digimon she was still holding.
"Are you okay?" he said hurredly as he took the Gotsumon off her back and transferred it to his own. "You take Gomamon, I'll carry Gotsumon." Gomamon jumped into her arms instantly, without waiting for an awnser. The blue haired boy with glasses hesitantled when she gasped in pain as his smaller, lighter digimon jumped onto her, but knew there was no time.
"Run!" he shouted, and Ruby shook herself out of her trance of pain, and she ran as fast as she could.
The DarkRizamon reached the ground, and began to lope after the retreating humans.
"Not.. yet" came a small but powerful voice from around them, "There will be a time for that later. I have other jobs for you to do."
The Darkrizamon looked sulky, but noticed that their prey were already gone, dissapeared into the trees.
