I don't own digimon
The Blue Bird of Unhappiness
888
Renamon's eyes snapped open as a weight rested on her stomach and nuzzled in close. The fox looked down to see the human girl was nuzzling against her fur. Renamon sighed quietly and laid a hand on the child's head gently ruffling her brown hair.
It was morning; the dew was still on the grass. The others were still sleeping. Renamon snorted quietly, "If we were to be attacked…"
DORUmon's head lifted off of the lap of the boy that named himself Kisho. "We would wake up and fight back…" said the purple furred digimon as he slowly swept his tail back and forth. "Should we wake the others?"
Renamon shifted quietly, releasing herself from Ren, and stood slowly. The first thing she did was inspect the wound from the evening before. It was as she had thought, and had healed during the night, and was now only a twinge of pain when she twisted to the left.
"Wake them, I wish to go wash," whispered Renamon as she disappeared into the thin air. DORUmon sighed and then quickly made his rounds gently prodding the digimon and their partners into wakefulness.

Renamon sat on a large rock in the middle of the stream she had been bathing in. Her fur was still wet and it glistened as the sun filtered through the canopy. Her blue eyes kept narrowing and she would growl softly to herself every few seconds.
"They can't be the Prophesied Ones, can they?" asked the fox to the stream quietly. "They are so feeble and weak; I mean, even Agumon could fare better in a fight than they could collectively…"
She shifted quietly and growled when her body moved to the left and the shadow of the wound flared in response. A wound she had gotten protecting the 'Prophesied Ones'. She nearly resented it, but then the image of the smiling face of Ren filled her mind and she was forced to suppress another blush.
"I don't understand," whispered Renamon quietly. She looked up, through the clearing in the canopy, cut out by the stream she was occupying. The fog was holding on to the caldera of Mihirashi Mountain, the place they were going. "On top of Mount Mihirashi is a great lake, and on that lake is an isle, and that is where the great Sorcerymon secludes himself."
She looked up and took in a deep breath. The smell of roots being cooked had filtered through the forest. The others must be awake and already prepared for breakfast. Renamon stood and leapt, easily jumping from her position on the rock and over the current of the small river that had surrounded her to the shore. She landed lightly on the ground, bending her golden legs and propelled forward disappearing into the thin air.

"Renamon!" cheered Ren as the fox reappeared at the campsite. The girl leapt up and ran to the vulpine creature and hugged it. Renamon looked down at the girl in surprise but quickly regained her cool composure. Her tail flicked and she drew away from the girl's embrace. Ren looked up with sad eyes, "Did I disappoint you Renamon?"
The fox tilted its head, and thought about the question, "It is not disappointment, more of…a surprise."
"I think Renamon is mad because Agumon ate that extra tuber," said Guilmon quietly.
"I didn't eat it!" yelped Agumon loudly. "You did!"
Renamon's eyes flashed from the yellow dinosaur to the red and black dragon and then back. "I am not hungry anyways." She turned to the other humans, "When you are done here, and have washed up in the stream we will depart," She pointed to a mountain in the distance, "That is our destination. I hope to reach the summit by late afternoon, and hopefully Sorcerymon's home by night fall." She looked at DemiDevimon. "I see he has still not awakened."
"Is he ok?" asked Taku quietly. He looked down at the small winged ball of dark blue fur.
"It is difficult to say," replied Renamon quietly. "I am sure of this, though, DemiDevimon is very resilient, if anyone can survive this; he can."
Taku looked stared at the golden fox. He looked down at DemiDevimon quietly and sighed. "I just wish it had been me instead."
The others looked at Taku quietly, but Renamon coughed and flicked her tail. They looked up in surprise, "Go, I will watch over DemiDevimon…"
"But…but I'm a girl!" yelped Ren. "I can't bathe with the boys!"
"Uh…" The digimon looked at each other, "Why not?"
"Because…I AM A GIRL!" yelped Ren loudly.
The boys nodded. Haru stepped forward, "In our society it is improper for girls and boys to bathe together."
"Why?" asked Guilmon. He lifted a clawed finger to the side of his head and scratched softly.
The children looked at each other and then blushed, "Umm…we don't know."
"Interesting," murmured Renamon quietly. She flicked her tail and then walked over to Ren. "Don't worry, Ren, Taku can take DemiDevimon with him and the other 'boys' to the stream, then I can go with you to a different stretch of the stream so you may wash."
The children nodded slowly and then separated into two groups, the boys and the girl. Renamon and Ren walked to the right and up the stream while the boys and Agumon, Guilmon and DORUmon walked to the left and down the stream. Ren was quiet most of the way to the river and Renamon, though curious did not speak.
The girl quickly undressed and walked to the water and instantly stopped. "It's too cold."
"It is still morning, and with Meramon on the run the water will be cold," replied Renamon quietly. She was sitting in a branch of a tree overlooking the stream. "It is something that you get used to."
Ren looked up at the fox and slowly walked into the water. Her muscles recoiled at the numbing chill the water had but slowly she willed her self in.
"Renamon, how did you get so tough?" asked Ren quietly as she attempted to clean herself as best as she could with just cold water.
"Fighting," the reply came quickly. "Learning that nothing in this world will protect you forever, and being ready to accept your deletion at a moment's notice."
Ren walked from the water; she was shivering profusely and was quick to find something to help her dry off. Renamon hopped down as Ren was replacing her clothes back on her body. The girl looked up at her vulpine partner with dark, brown eyes. The fox winced slightly at the gaze and turned her head, "Renamon, are you mad at me?"
The fox responded by walking back towards camp, "Come along, we wish not for the others to think we are in danger."
Ren looked up and nodded slowly.

"Ah, finally we have found it," murmured a deep voice. His blue face crinkled into a toothy smile.
He turned slowly to a flower faced priestess and apish shaman. A golden wide, sleeved shirt hung off of the botanical priestess. Pink blossoms made up its face and hands. Red fabric ballooned around the priestess's legs as large pants. The priestess's camel toed feet fit snugly into two, brown sandals.
"Lord Baronmon," whispered the flower digimon. "What shall we do with it?"
"Yes, lord Baronmon," asked the shaman. His hand lifted to scratch the top edge of his blue and red, oval face mask. "What shall we do with it?"
Baronmon smirked happily and then reached towards the object that had gained his glee. It was a strange looking object. It was a deep, mist blue, sphere that was held on a black pedestal of sorts. The ball rested into the pedestal, the pedestal looked like cooled, black lava that had attempted to consume the sphere but failed to. There was a sharp snap of energy that forced Baronmon to stagger back.
"So, the barrier continues to be a problem," growled Baronmon loudly. He turned, making his green robes ruffling and his red cloak flare, to his two allies, "I will have to meditate on this; do not disturb me." The red cape flailed behind the shaman as he walked past; his boots elicited soft clomps on the brick work as he walked to a pair of heavy doors.
"So now what?" the flower digimon asked quietly.
"I suspect we return to get reports from the others, Kabukimon," replied the ape shaman as he started off, dragging his boomerang behind him.
"We should assist Baronmon in finding a way to weaken the barrier, Sepikmon," said the flower digimon as she followed the shaman.
"You do what you wish," snorted Sepikmon quietly as he left the room, "I wish to hear from my men."

"Guilmon you nitwit!" yelped the voice of Taku, as the large red dragon sent them tumbling into a small, water-filled ditch. The pale skinned boy scowled slightly and looked at Guilmon. Taku held DemiDevimon close to his chest trying to wipe the water off of the little bat digimon.
"Hey, there was no reason to call Guilmon a nitwit!" shouted Haru. The older, blonde haired boy stood up in the ankle deep slush of leaves and water and helped Guilmon to his feet. "It wasn't his fault that the ground was soft."
Renamon and Ren were kneeling on the edge of the ditch with Kisho and DORUmon. Taku, Jiro, Haru and their digimon had all slid in, after Renamon had told them to stay clear of the ditch edge. Guilmon, though, let his curiosity get the best of him, and soon enough he slipped and grabbed onto Haru, who grabbed Jiro, who grabbed Agumon and then Agumon had snagged his claws around Taku, and the whole lot of them found themselves in the ditch.
"Well he is, an idiot," retorted Taku loudly. "He's so naïve!" The pale boy snapped loudly and then stomped out of the water. "If he'd have a brain he'd be, well, he'd still be an idiot."
"Hey!" shouted Haru loudly. The boy scrambled up the ditch.
"Big idiots, the two of you," said Taku as he walked away from the ditch.
"Haru no…" whined Guilmon as Haru rushed Taku and made to strike the dark clothed boy, but Taku side stepped and Haru fell to the ground and rolled.
Taku narrowed his eyes, "I guess you and Guilmon deserve each other." He handed DemiDevimon to Ren as Haru stood up and lifted his fists. Taku took up a defensive stance, "Fine if you want to try again, go ahead."
Haru charged towards Taku. Haru threw his fist forward. Taku stepped to one side, and landed the edge of his right hand onto the flat of Haru's back. The blonde was sent sprawling. Haru scrambled to his feet again. The other children were spellbound to the fight.
"You're going to apologize to Guilmon," growled Haru loudly, "even if I have to beat it out of you."
The dark haired boy only shook his head and smirked. Haru growled angrily and ran again. He swept a hard punch forward, but Taku caught it; the next thing Haru knew was that he was being flung over Taku and down onto the ground.
"Haru!" yelped Guilmon loudly as he trudged up the ditch and ran to the blonde. "Please don't fight anymore!"
"He's not going to make fun of you, without paying for it!" replied Haru angrily.
"It's ok, Haru, really, it was my fault, I shouldn't have…" started Guilmon as Haru sat up. The red and black dragon's eyes shined a soft gold. "I know I'm not the smartest digimon there is; it's ok, really…"
"No, it's not, you don't have to except it, and I refuse to let you take it!" growled Haru as he stood. His fists were clenched. He looked at a very smug Taku and then without warning pounced. Taku didn't have a chance to move before he was pinned to the ground. Haru didn't let up. He kept slamming fists down Taku did his best to defend himself with his hands mostly immobile.
"Stop this now!" shouted Renamon. Seconds later Haru was sent sprawling to the ground as the fox loomed over Taku.
"Thank you…" coughed Taku quietly.
"Shut up," growled Renamon as she flashed her icy eyes on the pale human. "You deserve every punch Haru gave you, but we have more important things to do…" Taku blinked up at the vixen as she flashed around to face him. Her face came straight to his face, her nose touched his; it was cold and wet. "Now, apologize to Guilmon."
Taku was about to refuse but the fox's eyes flashed a dangerous color. Taku gulped loudly and slowly tilted his head to see the mud covered, red and black dragon, "Gui-Guilmon…I'm sorry for saying those things to you…"
"Aw shucks, like I said it wasn't a problem, really," replied Guilmon with a smile.
"Uh…a little help?" called Jiro from the ditch. Guilmon looked up and walked over to the edge of the ditch and lowered his tail down to lift the boy and his partner up from the bog.
"Right, now let's go," growled Renamon as she walked past the two roughed up boys.
"But…" Haru started. Renamon flashed a look back at Haru that stopped his vocal chords dead in their tracks.
The boy sighed and got up and slowly lurched forward. Taku stood also and slowly walked to Ren and gently reclaimed DemiDevimon. He shot a glare at Haru. Renamon snorted in agitation and flicked her tail and walked further down the trail. The others walked slowly after Renamon.
They walked most of the morning. The trail was relatively cleared and though it got muddy at times; it was not nearly as horrible as the thick vegetation that surrounded the path, but that was to change, abruptly. The vegetation instantly disappeared and was replaced by a long stretch of desert. Renamon didn't stop though, she continued forward. The humans looked around them, tan sand swept around them in a small dust storm; but they stayed on the road.
The noon hour came and went. The desert warmed and the air shifted uneasily in sun's onslaught. The afternoon was near brutal as the dry air swept around them teasing out the water from the humans' skin.
Renamon stopped suddenly. She narrowed her eyes, "There is a watch post up ahead…" She looked around her. "We have to hide you, if the…"
"And what will you do?" asked DORUmon. "We cannot leave them here."
Guilmon walked up to them and pointed to a few ferns that were on the side of the road. "We could hide them without hiding them…"
"What are you talking about?" Agumon asked quietly. Guilmon only smiled quietly and then pulled a leaf from the fern.

Impmon looked up in agitation as a group of digimon walked forward. The lavender and white digimon hopped up from his seat. He leapt from his shed and put his hand out.
"Yo, what are yous doing here!" shouted Impmon loudly.
"Transporting prisoners," said Guilmon loudly.
Impmon narrowed his eyes. He pointed his red gloved finger at the five strange creatures behind them. They were dressed in weird clothes and seemed to have weird floppy, frilled ears and wings.
"And who are they?" asked the little imp as he stomped forward. DORUmon and Agumon swept up in front of them.
"You don't want to get too close," said Agumon loudly.
"Yeah, look at what they did to part of our party!" yelped DORUmon as he pointed to DemiDevimon, who was being held by Renamon.
"I see…" said the imp as he made side long looks at the odd beings behind the digimon.
"Impmon, we must get going, these derailments of our schedule greatly threaten Lord Baronmon's sovereignty," Renamon said coolly. "We must go, let us pass."
"Uh…" Impmon looked up at the creature in dark clothing it sneered angrily and Impmon jumped back. "Get going already, jeesh!"
Renamon nodded and continued forward with the others. Together the strangers disappeared into the forest. Impmon sighed softly and went back into his hut and sat down to watch the trail.
About two hours later Impmon's eyes flashed wider than dishes, "Hey, the prison is in the other direction!" He quickly hopped from his seat and ran to a small transmitter. "This is Mihirashi base three, to Infinity Mountain!" A small screen flickered to life. A large oval face mask filled the screen.
"What is it?" growled the voice of the image.
"I ah, was just hijacked," yelped Impmon loudly. "Yeah, that's it, I was hijacked and a group of rebels made it past me on the route to Mihirashi Mountain! They had an injured digimon amongst their company, as well as five strange creatures…"
The voice on the other side of the transmission gasped, "Strange creatures…" It narrowed its eyes. "It must be them…" the mask shifted slightly. "If they had an injured one amongst them then they must be going to Sorcerymon's abode on the summit of Mihirashi. You will intercept them!"
"M-me?" gulped Impmon loudly. "But it would be five on one, and those creatures didn't look so friendly."
"Do not fret, you have the power of the digimentals on your side…" chuckled the voice. He lifted a boomerang to the screen. "Charming Dance!"
888
Ren looked down from the edge of the trail. The forest was far below them.
"Come on, this is a very weak defensive position," said Renamon quietly and pulled the girl from the edge. "It isn't far now."
Ren nodded and joined the others. They slowly walked up the trail. The rocks now littered the path but it remained fairly navigable. The stones were soft and yellow.
"Uh…Renamon…" Guilmon said quietly. The fox stopped and looked back at the red and black dragon.
"Yes, Guilmon?" The fox swished her tail impatiently.
"Is that supposed to happen?" asked the dragon as he pointed down to the forest at the foot of the mountain.
Renamon looked down and saw a flash of gold and blue light erupt from the trees. A huge form emerged from under the foliage. A large lightning shaped horn was attached to a large blue bird. Golden lightning insignias flashed along its wings and lightning bolt shaped tail. It released a feral screech and flapped its wings and bolts of lightning exploded along the ground.
"Run!" shouted Renamon as the bird swept around and flew towards them. Together the humans ran up the trail. Taku held DemiDevimon tightly as he ran next to Haru. Renamon looked back as Jiro and Agumon past her. "It's Thunderbirdmon!"
"Get out of my way!" sniped Taku loudly as he pushed past.
"Hey don't push!" shouted Haru loudly.
"Spark Wing!" the bird shot above them and then flashed its wings open. Meteors of lightning shot down exploding into the side of the mountain.
"AYA!" shouted Kisho and Ren as the ground under them started to fail. Jiro was ahead of them and beyond the fissure with Agumon.
Renamon and DORUmon swept forward grabbing their partners and sailing across the ravine forming under them. Taku and Haru looked up in vain as the road in front of them collapsed down the side of the mountain. Thunderbirdmon swept and chuckled.
"Yous thought you could escape me, well for playing that nasty trick on me I'm going to play a nastier trick on you!" The thunder bolt designs on the bird's body glowed brightly and the light drained into the bird's snout and up the jagged horn at the tip of its armored face. "THUNDER STORMER!"
A single blast of lightning raged forward exploding into the side of the mountain. The digimon and humans screamed as the rocks exploded and electrical streamers slashed their way across their bodies. The dust cleared slowly to reveal the totality of the travelers to be crawling slowly over the ground.
"We got to get away," whispered Renamon as she pulled Ren behind her. DORUmon was right behind her towing Kisho and Agumon and Jiro were staggering with each other up the mountainside.
Down the mountain trail, Taku and Haru weren't as badly hit, but they were still breathing hard. Taku got up slowly and started staggering down the trail.
"Where are you going?" shouted Haru loudly as he watched Taku retreat.
"Somewhere safe, we can't fight that thing!" shouted Taku loudly.
"We aren't leaving our friends behind to get beat to a pulp by a big, blue turkey!" shouted Haru. He turned to look up at Thunderbirdmon and then cast his eyes to Guilmon, "Do you think you can get him buddy?"
"I don't know, he's a pretty strong digimon," whispered the dragon. Haru looked down but the dragon's winged ears perked up, "but it's worth a shot!"
Haru smiled and nodded, "If we can just get his attention…"
"I'll get his attention!" called Guilmon. The dragon opened his mouth and belched a red ball of heat at the bird. Thunderbirdmon squawked loudly as the fire ball smacked him right under the wing. The blue bird wheeled around and screamed bloody murder.
"Uh…I think we have his attention…" gulped Haru as he turned. "Let's get out of here!"
"Uh…" Guilmon looked up as the bird screeched loudly and dove at him. The dragon could see down the bird's throat, "Right!"
"Thunder Stormer!" screamed the bird loudly. Streamers of lightning slashed down the trail right behind the running boy and digimon.
"DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO MAKE HIM THAT MAD?" screamed Haru as he pumped his arms back and forth and ran in front of the wave of electricity.
"I DIDN'T THINK I HAD IT IN ME!" replied Guilmon as the red and black dragon scrambled behind his partner.
They rounded a corner and a hand snapped out and pulled them to one side. Before Haru knew it the river of lightning that was chasing them passed and they were in a cave.
"You really pissed him off," said Taku's voice quietly. The boy stepped from the shadows. He was still holding DemiDevimon.
Haru was breathing hard and was leaning against the cavern wall. Haru looked up at Taku, "Didn't…" he took a breath, "see," another heave puffed his chest up, "you do anything…"
"Hello…" Taku's eyes looked down to DemiDevimon. "I can't do anything, not that I'm doing the doing, it's Guilmon that put his head out to be sheered off…"
Haru looked at Taku and started to retort when he realized that the dark clad was right. He gulped and looked at Guilmon. "I'm…sorry…"
"Don't worry, we're friends, we have to work together, I was just helping you this time, next time you'll help me," The dragon said with a smile.
"We're ok, for now…" said Taku as he looked to the exit of the cave. A shadow swept past it.
"But the others…" whispered Haru.
"Thunderbirdmon will rip them to shreds!" yelped Guilmon.
"We have to go!" shouted Haru as he pushed towards the exit.
"And what?" shouted Taku. "Get blown away?"
"If it takes that," replied Haru quietly. "Guilmon, you don't have to go if you don't want to…"
"You don't even have to say that, I'm at your side!" called Guilmon. The digimon walked to Haru's side.
"Let's go, cook us a turkey," said Haru quietly. He looked back to Taku, "Are you coming?"
The boy sneered slightly and then walked forward, "Someone's gotta save your life when you get your asses handed to you."
888
"Ok, when he comes around the ridge we get him by surprise, got it?" Renamon was poised in the branches of a tree that grew out of the side of the mountain. "You humans, keep going, if you get to Sorcerymon's then maybe you can get us some help."
Ren, Kisho and Jiro looked at Renamon and nodded sadly and then started retreating up the path. Thunderbirdmon's screeches erupted from the side of the mountain and seconds later the blue bird appeared screeching and roaring in a fit.
"Now!" shouted Renamon as she leapt forward. She sliced her hands forward shooting glowing leaves into the side of the bird.
"Alley Oop!" Yelped Agumon as he cupped his hand and gave DORUmon a boost.
The purpled raptor rolled through the air and then hovering slightly opened his mouth. "Metal Cannon!"
A ball bearing shot forward, propelling DORUmon back to mountainside. The bird swept past it and turned on the attacking digimon. Seconds later Thunderbirdmon was aware of something hovering over him. He turned to see Renamon's foot slamming into the side of his face. The vulpine digimon repelled backward, spun around and fired another round of leaves into the bird. The leaves exploded into the bird. Thunderbirdmon screeched in anger and slapped its tail against Renamon, sending the fox slamming into the mountainside.
"Can't you digivolve?" yelped Agumon loudly to DORUmon. He opened his mouth and sent volleys of fireballs at bird as it swept past.
"I've been trying!" yelped DORUmon as he evaded bursts of lightning.
"He's too strong," rasped Renamon as she peeled herself from the mountain. She dropped down next to Agumon. "We have to retreat…"
"And lead him to our partners?" asked Agumon.
"No, we go down," Renamon winced as she leapt down the trail. "Come on, you big sparrow! Power Punch!" Renamon leapt from the edge of the trail and slammed her glowing paw into the side of the bird and then kicked off of it to get back to the edge of the mountain. "Run, now!" shouted Renamon as she, DORUmon and Agumon ran down the trail.
"Get back here!" shouted the bird as it recovered from Renamon's strike and dove after them.
Thunderbirdmon swept around the edge of the mountain and chuckled as the digimon came to the ravine he made earlier.
"No…" gasped Agumon.
"You're all gone now!" shouted Thunderbirdmon. "Thunder…"
"Pyro Sphere!" a flash of red slammed Thunderbirdmon in the face and the bolt of lightning the bird was going to fire shot into the sky.
The bird looked down. A Guilmon and a pair of those strange creatures were advancing towards him. One of the creatures was holding the injured DemiDevimon from before.
"You'll pay for that!" shouted Thunderbirdmon loudly. The blue and gold bird folded his wings. "Spark Wing!" Hundreds of lines of lightning flashed down towards Guilmon.
"GUILMON NO!" shouted Haru as he ran forward. The blonde boy grabbed the dragon and pulled him back. The bolts fell slamming the two of them off the cliff face.
"No…" gasped Renamon, Agumon, and DORUmon.
Taku came scrambling to the edge of the cliff and looked down. "He can't be…gone?"
The clouds below them glowed brightly. "Guilmon digivolve to Raptordramon!" Something shot upwards. It had yellow skin, and definite dinosaur design. It hovered to the trail and let Haru off. The boy looked up in shock. The yellow dinosaur was covered in metal. Its torso was a metallic chassis. Its arms were metallic, as were four wings that jutted out of its chassis. Rockets the digimon's back held it in the air.
"Guilmon…?" Haru looked at the digimon carefully.
"Don't worry, Haru, I won't let you fall," replied the digimon. He looked up at Thunderbirdmon. "You hurt our friends enough, today!"
"I'm going to crush your little metal body," growled Thunderbirdmon. The bird's wings glowed and the energy drained into his horn. "THUNDER STORMER!"
A massive bolt of lightning shot forward. It whipped and snapped jaggedly through the air as it made its way to Raptordramon. The large yellow raptor opened its mouth wide and roared loudly.
"Crash Charge!" A plume of energy shot forward from the mouth of the raptor. The lightning and then energy slammed into each other. The energy burst tore through the lightning burst and raged across Thunderbirdmon's body. The bird started to fall back; its wings and body smoking from the assault of energy. "Now to be sure…" growled the raptor. The front of the raptor's chassis opened up revealing two small missile ports, "Ambush Crunch!"
Two, red missiles with black smiley faces flew forward and exploded the shockwave from the two missiles shook the mountain. Thunderbirdmon twirled backward and started spiraling to the ground. The bird glowed bright blue. The glow disappeared into the canopy of trees below. Raptordramon turned to Haru and Taku.
"That…you…he, digivolved…" gasped Haru as he pointed to Raptordramon.
"Yes, I did," replied Raptordramon. He jetted toward the two boys. "Get on; let's get back to the others before more armored cronies come."
Haru and Taku slowly boarded the digimon. Raptordramon slowly glided forward, and Renamon, DORUmon and Agumon hopped on. The yellow cyborg dragon grunted and then his rockets fired and they shot around the mountain.
888
"Look!" shouted Ren loudly. The girl pointed to the sky.
A yellow digimon was jetting towards them; on the digimon's back were Renamon, DORUmon, Taku, Haru, DemiDevimon and Agumon. The digimon dropped down and let the others off his back. The yellow raptor then glowed brightly and fizzled down into the recognizable form of Guilmon.
"Guilmon digivolved!" said Jiro in surprise.
"Yep," smiled Guilmon quietly. "I got rid of Thunderbirdmon, too."
Renamon walked past them and said, "We can celebrate when we get to Sorcerymon's."
The others looked at the vulpine digimon. The children looked at each other, "Can't we rest?"
"No, we must get to Sorcerymon's before nightfall, it is no longer a certainty that Baronmon does not know of our existence," replied Renamon. The fox started forward, "The longer we are out in the open like this, the higher chance we have that Baronmon will strike against us." With that, Renamon continued forward. The others sighed heavily and followed her.
888
"So…" murmured Baronmon quietly. His eyes fell upon the ape shaman, from the throne room of the Temple, "They did come."
"Yes, Lord Baronmon, and have defeated Thunderbirdmon, fortunately the fool had good enough sense to release the power or else he would've totally deleted," replied the shaman quietly, swishing his prehensile tail nervously. "If the Prophesied Ones are here, then…"
"Yes," replied the blue faced wizard. His eyes narrowed, "I will dispatch some one to Mount Mihirashi."
"Is there not someone already at the lake?" asked the shaman quietly.
"Yes, Sepikmon, yes there is," Baronmon's hands grasped the arm rests of the throne slowly. "It's always a good idea though, to have someone on stand by though."
"Who do you plan to send?" whispered Sepikmon quietly, his face mask tilted with his head.
"Task Force Alpha," whispered Baronmon quietly. He chuckled as Sepikmon's eyes widened.
