(Zoe P.O.V.)
We saw that digimon head towards the river. What was a digimon doing here? That digimon was up to my waist in height and had long lines running from its forehead to its muzzle. I've never seen a digimon like that. If only Bokomon was here, he would know its name.
I stopped on the sidewalk by the bridge while the guys searched the alleys. I was about to turn back to join them when a flash of blue caught my eye. I turned towards the bridge and saw the digimon sitting underneath the bridge, calmly staring at her.
Zoe turned back towards the boys and called "I've found it!"
Takuya, Koji and Koichi ran right to their side and together they ran down the slope to the riverside and carefully headed towards the digimon.
(Normal P.O.V.)
The digimon had not taken its eyes off of the kids. It didn't seem hostile, but the kids were careful. Without the ability to spirit-evolve all they could do was talk to it. The kids stopped about two yards before the digimon.
"Well," Takuya started. "What are you doing here? Who are you? HOW did you get here?"
Zoe elbowed Takuya in the ribs to get him to shut up. The digimon let a smile spread across its muzzle, but it went unnoticed.
"Ahem," the digimon cleared its throat. The four digidestined kids stopped bickering at once and turned their attention back to their visitor. "If you could bring yourselves to listen to me please. I have been through much, and lost much. And I will get my message across. Hey wait," the digimon turned its heat from side to side counting the kids. "I'm sorry, but my message is for all of your ears. Please tell the other two to come meet us here. I do not like to repeat myself."
Zoe and Takuya exchanged a glance then pulled out their cell phones to call JP and Tommy.
Tommy and JP arrived at the bridge half an hour later. After spending a moment gawking at the sight of a digimon for the first time in two years they joined the others on the ground that formed a semi-circle around the digimon.
The digimon sighed and starting repeating the message that she had been burdened with for too long. "For starters, my name is Perromon. I'm known at the loyal digimon and I'm the last one of my kind. I was sent here by Kazemon."
Zoe leaned forward at the mention of her digital half.
"About five years ago in the digital world a ambitious mega digimon named Sabermon was given the honor to guard Seraphimon's castle. He was enthusiastic about it at first, but after few months he grew power-hungry. He challenged Seraphimon for his power and status as one of the Great Angels. Sabermon is a saber tooth tiger type digimon with plenty of raw power to spare. After a long hard battle Sabermon was defeated and exiled from the forest terminal. We didn't hear from him for a few more months. Then one day he was spotted in front of the gates to the castle. I was the one who saw him and raised the alarm. Kazemon found me when I was only an egg in the mountains. She took me to Seraphimon who was like a father to me, so I was determined to protect him with my life. I ran to join the three Great Angels at the front gate. But, when I saw Sabermon he was… different. He had a darker shade of fur and had a tattoo of the black angel…or as you know him Lucemon. Sabermon had found Lucemon's lingering spirit and had absorbed his remaining power, making him stronger than Seraphimon, Ophanimon and Cherubimon combined. W-with one attack he destroyed the whole forest terminal and everyone in it. Well except for me. Before the attack hit the three Great Angels used a teleportation spell to get me out of there. They said that I needed to live. They sent me to Kazemon."
Tears were slowly developing in Perromon's eyes as she recalled the day that she lost her father, and how he had saved her by giving up his own life.
"After I told Kazemon she informed the other legendary warriors. While they prepared for battle, Kazemon told me your story."
The six digidestineds had not said anything. But, they wished that Perromon would get to the point.
"Two months later Sabermon went on the offensive with his army of Shadows which are souls of departed digimon. The ten legendary warriors faced them in battle and," tears were now pouring down the side of her face. "I'm so sorry. They were defeated and destroyed."
Perromon turned her head away from them; she couldn't bring herself to see their faces. Finally she opened one eye to see. Tommy's eyes were closed and his bottom lip was quivering. Koji was gritting his teeth together in anger. Koichi had his head in his hands. JP had made a fist and pounded the ground. But, what really broke her heart was seeing Takuya comforting a crying Zoe.
"So what, did you come here to tell us that not only the digital world is doomed? But, that the spirits, which are part of us are gone?" Koji spat bitterly.
Perromon shook her head sadly. "Why would I come here to only tell you that my world is doomed?" Perromon suddenly bared her teeth in a snarl. "I have come here to tell you that only the six of you have a chance to save my home! Kazemon gave up her life to protect the digital world! She was my best friend and Seraphimon was like a father to me!" Perromon sighed and tried to calm down. "Before the ten legendary warriors went to battle they gave me a message. 'We can never be completely destroyed. Our energy will live on in those who have much untapped power.' Their bodies may be gone, but their elemental energies live on. Because of you six. Because you guys are connected to your spirits they cannot be completely destroyed. They are a part of you as you are a part of them. As long as they have that connection they can never truly die. But, the issue is that since you weren't in the digital world they were forced to re-direct the connection. They are still a part of you don't get me wrong, but they had to take their own connection with you and put it in another digimon."
Zoe blinked and asked. "So were still connected to the spirits, but now they live on in other digimon?"
Perromon nodded. "The only thing is that I don't know which digimon carry the energy. They were chosen while the warrior was on the brink of death."
Koji had calmed himself down enough to ask. "How do we find these digimon?"
Perromon shuffled her paws in the dirt uncomfortably. "Well, the only way is for you to come back to the digital world."
No one said anything. Perromon didn't blame them. She was asking them to put their lives in danger. Suddenly Takuya stood up and gave her a thumbs up.
"Well I don't know about you guys, but I'll do anything for Agunimon and all the friends we made in the digital world."
The others nodded their agreement and gave Perromon the thumbs up. Only JP looked a little uneasy.
"How are we supposed to defeat Sabermon if were no actually the ones fighting? And how do we even know if you're telling the truth?"
Perromon narrowed her eyes at him. "You won't get in the digimon's way because they need your connection to digivolve and become stronger. And as for the question of whether to trust me or not." She turned her head towards Zoe. "I believe you, warrior of the wind can hear the truth on the wind if you only listen."
Zoe closed her eyes and listened on the wind. She hadn't done this since she was last in the digital world, but it was like riding a bike, you never forget. Suddenly she opened her eyes and replied. "I can't hear any lies on the wind. And you know how accurate I am at wind reading." JP nodded, happy to hear that Perromon could be trusted.
"So back to the point," Perromon impatiently put in. "Will you come?" Perromon held her breath. The fate of her world depended on their answer.
Takuya looked at everyone before giving the answer. With confidence he replied, "We'll come."
A/N- well I hope this chapter is long enough for ya! I won't update until I get a couple more chapters written, but it shouldn't take me long. Please review!
