Disclaimer: I do not own digimon I do not own the names of any characters aside from my own OCs which are all human. I do not own the concept of Digivices, Digimon, the digital world. This is a fanfiction on a fanfiction site.
This is the chapter that starts being more like digimon I promise. ^_^
Digimon Hunters
Chapter 4: D'arcmon's Alliance
The far south of the ruins almost to the edge of the jungle, that was where she'd laid her line of attack.
"General D'arcmon, all troops are in position," a green, leafy humanoid/reptilianoid digimon with a pink and yellow flower on top of its head, known as Palmon, informed.
"Perfect, we attack at twilight as Buraimon's troops are still sleeping," the female, four winged angelic digimon relayed, "If we can just gain a foothold in this area Stingmon, and the other insect digimon in the Jungle have promised to reinforce us." D'arcmon sighed as she looked out from her canopy perch, "This has to work... Please Yggdrasil let it work."
"Are we there yet?" Rex groaned, "We've been walking forever..."
"We've been walking for four hours Rex," Levi voiced in as he pushed aside yet another frond from his face and straightened his glasses, "Besides the Floramon we passed earlier were able to pinpoint on our D-Hunter's map function where the ruins are, and by my calculations if we keep heading east from here we should reach the Southern sector of the ruins in only two and a half more."
"Ugh, I just sank into a mud puddle again!" groaned Veronica, shaking her soggy foot, "Couldn't we have landed any closer to the Ruins... I mean that portal was really fast travel couldn't the stop have just moved closer to the city or something."
"I don't really mind the walk... I mean not too much... although I would have thought that transportation would be... closer... to a populated area." Lynn added.
"But we were," piped Calvin as he jumped the puddle Veronica had just fallen into previous, "We were near the highest population of Digimon near the portal, that's why we were able to get directions so quickly."
"I don't know about all of you but I could go for a break, eh, Maren?"
Richard had spoken what had been on everyone else's mind, especially Maren's, as they had treked thus far, "Good idea, everyone there's an enormous tree just ahead of me about 50 yards away, we can stop and rest there, and maybe we can try to find food or something." She announced feeling a slight burst of energy wash over her at the thought of a rest stop ahead, she didn't want to admit it but her feet had gone numb 2 hours prior and she desprarately wanted to put her feet up for even a few minutes.
"Last one there has to look for food," Calvin shouted racing forward at a dead sprint.
The burst of energy caught everyone off guard as the smaller child dissappeared into the undergrowth toward the tree, but not wanting to come in last or lose him in the jungle they all started running after him. In no time at all they had all reached the tree.
"Is everyone here?" Maren called out.
"Present...(huff) a little winded, but present," chimed Levi
Rex let out a huge huff, as he had never ran so fast in his life.
Veronica was still picking leaves and sticks off of herself as she replied with an whimsical, if not winded, "Hoi,"
"I'm here," Lynn said softly as she regained her breath.
"Where's your brother Maren?" asked Richard.
The entire group looked around Calvin was nowhere to be seen.
"Calvin!" Maren panicked jumping to her feet. Lynn and Richard right behind her when tumbling out of the fronds...
"Whew, that was scary," Calvin gasped grinning, "I guess I got lost in the ferns, thanks for yelling out."
Maren rushed Calvin hugging him tight, "Don't ever just run off like that again, What would mom say if you had done that with her."
Calvin looked down at his feet, "I'm sorry... although I suppose I'm in charge of finding food.
"Oh no, someone else is going. You are sitting here where I can watch you." Maren growled.
"But, thats not fair to the rest of the team." Calvin countered.
"What if someone were to go with him?" suggested Richard, who had been listening quietly, "I'm willing to I didn't use too much energy getting here and I'm fairly certain I was second to last to get here anyway."
Maren was about to object when Levi stated, "It would be more efficient and safer for two people to go anyway, and besides I need to show you something that I found on the D-Hunter's settings, if you're interested."
Maren nodded her head and with that Richard and Calvin walked off into the jungle again, "What did you need to show me Levi?"
"Well, I've been fiddling around with the map settings and I found an entire menu guide on a few features we may want to sync as a group, namely the Data share function, Tracker function, and Barrier Defense Program."
"You lost me," Maren shook her head.
"Hold up your Hunter to mine and say, 'Open link',"
"Ok, Open Link," no sooner had she said it a beam of light appeared connecting the two devices.
"Good, Link Transfer Start, Share Maps, Sync GPS, Find Friend Start. Now you repeat that," Levi encouraged with a smile as the light link turned from white to gold.
"Ok," Maren nodded and repeated the long stream of words, "I suppose we should repeat this with everyone else.
"No need, we already synced up with eachother, all you needed to do was sync with one and it updates everyone's friends list. Although we will still need your brother but Richard said he'd take care of it."
Maren nodded and checked her map on her screen, on it was a cluster of 4 little dots and a circled dot, and a good distance north was another dot. The next few minutes went on with everyone else resting their feet. Then a feeling of unease began to creep into Maren's mind. She first checked her Map still the same amount of dots but Richards was going the opposite direction. "Perhaps Calvin had run off again," she thought. The undergrowth to her right rustled making her freeze. "Levi, Rex, Lynn, Veronica, Get over here we have company." She typed into her Hunter, as she slowly stood and backed toward the main group.
"Poison Spore Pummle!" Called out a group in unison," as four purple with yellow spotted capped Mushroom men jumped the group from cover.
"Defense Barier Execute," Shouted the Digidestined in unison as the four Mushrooms richocheted off the silver barriers that extended from their D-Hunters.
"SHUU SHUU, It looks like a couple of spies from that blasted angel girl," Said one taller one.
"SHUU, I'm sick and tired of these lower tiered angels that keep hitting the General's supply lines, SHUU" said a stubbier bulkier one.
"SHUU, these one's don't even have wings," the third said cracking his knuckles.
"Levi, do you have any idea what those things are?
"Scanning says Mushmon, am mushroom and poison digimon that tend to be enforcers and bullies, they aren't very powerful meaning that our barriers should hold for a good while. maybe they will give up and leave."
"SHUU SHUU SHUU, fat chance of that happening, SHUU. You should really try and keep quiet about those plans of yours," The taller one spoke again pointing to the fourth Mushmon, "Go fetch General Buraimon. He'll be more than able to cut these angels down to size."
The designated Mushmon ran off into the jungle in the general direction of the Ruins.
"SHUU SHUU SHUU, Now we wait." the tall one smirked.
It had been some time since the Richard had walked off with Calvin to find something that even resembled food. Richard kept checking his D-Hunter watching as the cluster of dots became more and more distant as the two traveled south, when they had come across a multi-branched banana tree... Yup it was definitely a banana tree.
"I've seen how fast you run kid, how are you at climbing." He asked Calvin.
Calvin sized up the tree and its bends and holds, "I dunno... its kinda tall..."
"I guess you're right, can I trust you to stay put while I'm up there?"
"Yes sir," Calvin said with a snappy salute to the older boy.
"Good, I shouldn't be long, holler if you hear something coming, ok?"
Calvin gave a thumbs up, and Richard began climbing.
About half way up Richard looked down to check both his progress and on Calvin. Calvin seemed to be sitting down on the ground looking at his D-Hunter perhaps even talking to it. A bit odd but perhaps he had discovered the communications setting, or heaven forbid found a way to get games... or maybe games wouldn't be bad, the kid wouldn't move so fast if he was occupied by games. Making it to the branch just below the bunch of bananas Richard began to inch carefully toward it along the branch where he stood. "Just a little closer..." he thougt when he felt a weight land behind him on the branch, quickly looking down he saw that Calvin wasn't there anymore, "Calvin I thought I told you to stay put..." he felt a cold metal point on his neck.
"Turn around slowly intruder, and keep you hands up in the air," came a threatening yet feminine voice.
Richard turned around slowly.
D'arcmon had landed on the tree branch behind the strange being, the floramon recon squad had seen seven of them heading toward the south end of the ruins, She herself had decided to see for herself, although she had only found one. "Who are you and why are you and the other six of your kind here, don't you know this zone is a contested area? Or is that why you are here?" she spoke swiftly and to the point to the male figure infront of her.
"I-I'm sorry I... uh... we didnt know, we are here on behalf of the Royal Knights, to find clues in the ruins to a prophecy." Richard stuttered feeling legitimately scared.
"Where are the other six of you, my scouts claim there are more. It would be a burden off my mind if you would be willing to share their location."
Richard took a deep breath, Calvin had been able to hide before this winged thing had landed and apparently the digimon in front of him didn't seem to actually want to kill him, he wondered what the harm would be in leading her to the rest of them, "Do I have your word you won't just up and attack us if I bring you to them?"
D'arcmon looked punitively at the being, then lowering her sword and sheathing it she nodded her head, "I accept your terms on two conditions; first, answer me what manner of digimon are you, and second, I will need you to prove your story."
Richard nodded, "Fair enough," he said calmly, "To answer that first part we aren't digimon, we are Humans from the physical world, to prove that I only ask you stand still," he raised his right hand towards D'arcmon. A whitish beam of light fanned out and swept over her, "You are D'arcmon, Champion Level, Holy attribute, your two main attacks are LaPucelle, and Dancing Sword, and your evelution line can stem from tapirmon, or salamon." Holding up his left arm he showed her the display of information scrolling across the D-Hunter. "Have I proven my point yet?"
D'arcmon nodded, "That explains the Royal Knights deal... Very well Human, lead me to your friends."
"My arm is feeling a bit hot," groaned Rex as another pummling punch from a mushmon bounced off his barrier.
"It says here that they don't usually use such melee moves usually they throw bombs of sorts." said Levi.
"Don't give them any ideas!" grunted Veronica.
"Levi how long do our barriers last we've been standing here for an hour already." Maren snapped over her shoulder as two mushmon let loose a barrage of punches and kicks to the barrier."
"I honestly don't know, perhaps it would be best to just surrender now," Levi postulated as one of the mushmons made a face at him through the barrier.
"SHUU, Yes give up and we'll take you to Buraimon, he'll deal with you, but he doesn't take kindly to meddlesome angel digimon." the tall one smirked and cackled, "Boys move in, find the weak spot and let loose, SHUU."
No sooner had the Mushmon leader uttered the command then there was a loud whistling through the air followed by a shout, "DANCING SWORD," and a slashing sound, landing in front of the group knelt, sword extended and a staff in the other hand crossing its chest, a four winged Gold masked, angel girl in leather boots as the leader of the mushmon fractaled and dissolved into data bits.
The Angel stood up, "Alright you two, Who's next?!" she menaced the remaining two mushmon.
Thanks for reading so far I hope this made up for my first 3 chapters of world building. ^_^
