Kaito Lune: Hey, guess what? Disclaimer time! Zoe's helping this time!!

Zoe: Alright. Kaito Lune non proprio Digimon o riferimenti nei capitoli.

Kaito Lune: (sweatdrops) Wha?

Zoe: I just said, 'Kaito Lune doesn't own Digimon or any references made in the chapters.'

Kaito Lune: Couldn't you have just said that in plain English?

Zoe: Huh? I speak Japanese.

Kaito Lune: Never mind.

Arc 1: The New Spirit

Chapter 4: The Seventh Warrior

The seven Digidestined and two Rookie leveled Digimon followed the Ultimate level into the cave. The light behind them disappeared after a half mile of walking. Eventually they came to a room lighten torches. Two figures were illuminated by the light. One was a human with six wings and wore a helmet covering his eyes and a blue sash that wrapped around one arm and came down the opposite leg. In one hand he held a gold rod. The other figure was that of a white cat with purple tuffs on her ears and long tail and wore yellow gloves with orange marks on them.

"My Lord and Lady," Piximon spoke up respectfully, adding a bow when they turned to him.

"Seraphimon and Ophanimon?" asked Zoe.

"These are the mighty Ophanimon and Seraphimon?" questioned Nazu with a disappointed voice. "According to what I saw, Ophanimon looked a lot different than a male angel and a white kitten."

"Don't insult the Great Celestial Digimon like that!!" shouted Bokomon angrily, he smacked her leg with his book. She backed away several feet and snatched the book out of the angry Digimon's hands and held it high above her head. "Give me that back!" he demanded.

"I do have to admit that Nazu is right, though, Bokomon," said Takuya nervously. "They aren't much of a sight as they were when we first met them." The others nodded in agreement.

"We are the Celestial Angels," said the Angemon. "We've lost our energy to stay in our higher forms as Ophanimon and Seraphimon. In this stage, I'm Angemon."

"And I am Gatomon," the voice that came from Gatomon was of a mature woman instead of what they thought her voice would sound like: a young child.

"How did you loose that energy?" asked JP.

"Since the ten years that our world has been reborn, the three of us as Ophanimon, Seraphimon, and Cherubimon, led the world in harmony," Gatomon began but Zoe cut in.

"Ten years?" repeated Tommy in disbelief.

"Only one year has passed since we returned from the Digital World!" added Koji.

"A year?" repeated Bokomon. "Time must move slower in your world than it does in ours."

"Anyway," Piximon butted into their conversation. Tommy, Koji, and Bokomon shut up.

"Not too long ago, attacks erupted from each of the Ten Terminals caused by corrupted Digimon," continued Angemon. "Eventually, the attacks came to our front doors in the form of six warriors calling themselves the 'Tainted Warriors'. The Legendary Warriors were able to hold them off but ended up turning back into Spirits."

"And they said that they'd make sure that no crazed bad guys like Lucemon would take over the world," Takuya said in an annoyed, folding his arms. The other six turned to him and gave him angry glares.

Gatomon continued. "Cherubimon took his four Spirits and went into hiding, just in case they wanted to take his Spirits and went into hiding since they didn't have any Chosen. We, accompanied by Sorcermon, took the remaining six Spirits and gave them to Bokomon and Neemon, knowing that they'd be the first ones to greet you when you got here."

"On our way back to the castle to wait for your arrival, we were ambushed by Daemon and Lilithmon of the Great Demon Lords. We were able to take them, but they used a black orb to de-evolve us. We came here, hoping to break the seal but we've had no such luck." Gatomon looked at a wall sadly.

"When we came here, we met Piximon," Angemon said, picking up where Gatomon left off. "Knowing that there would be trouble waiting for you, we asked him to bring you here."

"And know we're caught up to speed," finished Koichi.

Nazu folded her arms and looked at the seal. "What's behind the seal?" she asked.

Gatomon looked up at her. "Our friend and college, Cherubimon and his Spirits of Water, Earth, Steel, and Wood."

"You are a seventh Chosen Children, maybe you can break the seal," the angel Digimon suggested.

She looked towards him. "How?" Suddenly, something gave off a harsh screech. Everyone covered their ears. When it died down, she felt something heavy in her pocket.

"What the hell was that?!" shouted Koji and JP.

"That was defiantly not a noise I want to hear again," Zoe stated, rubbing one of her ears.

"I'll second that!" Koichi agreed with her.

They looked over at Nazu who was looking down at a device that was a royal purple and had a teal grip. "What's this?" she asked.

"A D-tector!" shouted the others, rushing over to take a look at it. Zoe pulled out hers to compare it to hers. Koji walked over to the 'seal' that held the final Celestial Digimon. A cave painting of Cherubimon was painted onto the wall. He had his eyes closed and seemed to be smiling as he held an orb with splashes of brown, orange, maroon, and a light blue color in it.

The white kitten and the angel approached the seven Digidestined. "Point the D-tector towards the seal and it should open." Everyone backed away from Nazu and she pointed it towards the seal. Nothing happened for several long minutes.

"Maybe she's not able to open it?" suggested Piximon in a rushed voice.

"Maybe," agreed Bokomon. Nazu frowned and backed away several steps. Takuya, Zoe, Koichi, JP, Koji, and Tommy approached the seal and held out their D-tectors towards it. Several long minutes past and nothing happened.

Takuya tapped his foot impenitently. "What gives?" he asked discouraged.

"Maybe she isn't meant for the Spirit?" suggested Bokomon. "She does deserve it though, right?"

Nazu sighed frustrated and slipped away. Tommy watched her disappear and decided to follow her. After several minutes of following her in the darkness, her footsteps stopped. "Ouf!" Tommy fell to the ground.

Nazu turned around and faced Tommy. "Why'd you follow me?" she asked, glaring down at his silhouette.

"You never know what you could find in caves like these," he replied nervously.

"Scared?" she asked in her indifferent tone.

Tommy shook his head and answered, "N-no."

Nazu grunted and turned to began walking again. Something just felt peaceful about this cave. Almost powerful and protective. Tommy got up and ran after her and grabbed her arm. Nazu tried to shake him off but his grip was too strong. "Rather childish to still be scared of the dark," she said harshly. "Are you the useless one of the group?"

"I'm not scared," Tommy denied.

"Right," Nazu replied.

Tommy noticed glowing stones. "Ah! Look!" he said, showing off his findings. Nazu gave it no mind and picked one off the ground and held it in front of her. The two continued on their way. After sometime, Tommy pulled on her sleeve. "Don't you think we should go back soon?" he asked.

Nazu ignored him. Something was drawing her further into the cave. She stopped and pulled out her new D-tector that signified her as a Digidestined. Why don't I have a Spirit now? she wondered. She was the useless one without a Spirit. Even the child had one. Suddenly, a map appeared on it. She examined it. There was a purple dot not too far away. On the other side of the map were red, blue, green, pink, yellow, grey, orange, brown, maroon, and a lighter blue dots clustered together. A green dot sat not too far away from the purple one.

She began running towards it. Tommy ran after her. The two came across an opening lighten by torches. The map began to spin and go haywire. Nazu looked around. There wasn't much there.

"Nazu, can we please go back?" Tommy pleaded. He pulled on her sleeve.

"Fine," she said. The two began walking back when they found themselves cut off from their exit by a grey imp looking Digimon with a huge mouth.

"Where do you think you're going?" cackled the Digimon. He examined them with a gleeful smile. "Humans? This is going to be fun!" He leaped towards them.

Nazu pushed Tommy out of the way and chucked her rock towards him and hit the ground. It landed in his opened and he chomped down on it hard. He landed on the other side of the room and spat out the chunks. "Yuck! That was way too salty!" He spun around and saw the two humans running out of the room.

"Vilemon Digivolved to Mummymon!" In a burst of light, he switched his form to a giant mummy holding himself up with a big gun. "I never said Go!" laughed the Digimon. "Snake Bandage!" The bandages around his arm flew towards the fleeing humans and wrapped them around the girl. With a flick of his wrist, he flew back into the room and landed hard on the floor.

Tommy turned around and cried, "Nazu! Hang on!" He ran back towards the room and shouted, "Spirit Evolution!" In mid step, he turned into Kumamon. The little bear kept running down the hall and fired the snow balls from his blaster.

Mummymon was hit by them and they melted on contact. "Necrophobia!" he fired his gun at Kumamon. He was hit directly and landed on his back.

Nazu struggled to get free of the bandages. Mummymon laughed. "I don't think you'll get out of those bandages anytime soon, my little mummy!" he laughed. Nazu glared up at him. She swept her feet under his but Mummymon didn't go down.

He held the gun to her head. "Ouch! That hurt you damn brat!" Nazu's eyes went wide and fear bubbled in her stomach.

"Frozen Tundra!" Kumamon, as an icicle, crashed into Mummymon's gun and the bandages that held Nazu and destroying them both.

Nazu raised her arms and ran out of the way as the bandages loosened and fell around her. Mummymon looked at the half of the gun he still had in his hands, then to the one on the ground, then up at Kumamon. "You damn brat!!" he screamed. He fired more bandages.

"Crystal Freeze!" Kumamon unleashed a chilling wind that froze the bandages and rocks around them. Nazu shivered and as she clutched her arms, trying to warm her body from the sudden cooling.

"Frozen Tundra!" Kumamon attacked again as the huge icicle knocking Mummymon back into rocks. One rock that was weakened by the freeze broke.

A brilliant light appeared from where the rock was. A small chess piece-like figure rose out of the light. "A Spirit? But there are only ten!" shouted Kumamon.

"A Spirit?" Nazu repeated out of bewilderment. She grabbed her D-tector and shouted. "SPIRIT! COME!" The small figure was sucked into the device and an infinity loop appeared on the screen of the device. She raised the D-tector above her head and commanded "Spirit Evolution!" She was swept up into a data cocoon. She felt empowered; power that made her feel like she could do anything.

The next thing she knew, she was much taller than she originally was and was wearing a dark purple Chinese dress, loose purple gloves with a gold bracelet on each hand, purple boots, a scarf that tied behind her, silver shoulder plates with amethysts embedded into them, and a mask hiding her mouth and nose. A string wrapped around her waist held a piece of cloth that held the same symbol that had appeared on her D-tector.

"Who are you?" snarled Mummymon. Mummymon rose.

She looked down at him. "I am Astrummon," she answered.

Kumamon took advantage of the distraction and Slide evolved into Korikakumon. "Frozen Arrowhead!" The dreadlocks wrapped around Mummymon.

"Go for it, Astrummon!" shouted Korikakumon.

The new Hybrid Digimon nodded. "Amethyst Burst!" In her hands appeared small amethyst rocks that glowed a faint purple light. She threw them at Mummymon and they exploded on contact.

Mummymon cried out in pain and turned into a silhouette with a data ring surrounding him. Korikakumon turned back into Kumamon and scanned the data ring with his D-tector. The figure faded into a DigiEgg and it disappeared. The two turned back into their human forms. Nazu collapsed in exhaustion and breathed quickly.

"Not bad!" Tommy said, giving her a thumbs up and smiling happily.

"Does . . . it hurt this much every time you Spirit Evolve?" she asked between huffs. Tommy shook his head.

"Well, only the first couple of times," he said in a big smile.

Nazu stared at him with a blank expression and her lips slightly curved into a smile.

Arc 1: End

Ladies and Gents, I give you the new Human Spirit of the Void! Why the change of look for her Human Spirit? I didn't really like much of the design so I chucked it and took what I did like about it and added some stuff to it. The newer design doesn't have as much to it. I decided to change the name to Astrummon because it's so much shorter than Valdestrummon and easier to type. ^^

Another chapter so soon? Well, that's what you get when I'm bored out of my frickin' mind! I know I should update Frontier's American Roadtrip (aka FART) and Golden DigiTama For Peace, but I'm into this story right now. I want to catch up to where I was at ASAP! Don't expect the next chapter too soon. I'm planning the next arc as we speak.

Thanks to duckie lover 151, Aslan Leon, and DigiBleach for reviewing. ^^
