Digimon Wars
Chapter 5: The 4 Devi pirates
The journey begins and the group already march for one day. They are walking to the south during the first day and establish a camp when the night comes. Blackwargreymon says that they shouldn't fly during the time of war. Arresterdramon and Shoutmon also know why and they explain it to Anders. During times of war, the Dragon kingdom has activates all the DCA of the kingdom in case of aerial attack and no digimon shouldn't fly during those times. They didn't like it, but they have no choice. The Fertile village don't have DCA and that may explains why they are targeted.
"Few...That was an uneventful day!" Says Shoutmon.
"An uneventful day is a good day for me." Says Blackwargreymon.
"The fire's finally made!" Says Arresterdramon.
"I'll prepare something to eat before sleeping." Says Anders.
He takes out of the bag some food the villagers give to them for they journey and bake it for the group.
"So...How far away are we from the capital?" Asks Shoutmon.
"Very far away by foot." Answers Blackwargreymon.
"It will take 2 weeks...maybe 3 before we reach the capital...Unless we find faster transportation than foot." Says Arresterdramon.
"That won't really happen...We haven't enough bytes to buy or use a transportation or a Trailmon. So...We are stuck on foot." Says Blackwargreymon.
"Alright...I guess it will be good for all of us this walking." Says Shoutmon.
"Supper's ready!" Says Anders.
Anders prepares some meat with diginoir they find in a wild diginoir tree. Anders gives the correct portion to each of them. Shoutmon whine a little, but Anders knows the other must give food to Shoutmon or he'll eat anything and become fat fast. He has some problem controlling himself when it comes to food...Which is very obvious. After the supper, they all went to sleep a peaceful night. Shoutmon sleeps on Anders lap while Anders rest his head on Arresterdramon armor chest. Arresterdramon puts his hand over Anders body and his tail over Shoutmon. Blackwargreymon was sleeping besides Arresterdramon and have his good night sleep.
The following day: Late morning.
They were all continuing their trip for a while when Anders sees a mountain with silver color.
"We soon shall move to the west forward and beginning walking more directly at the capital." Says Blackwargreymon.
"Those mountains are beautiful. I never see mountain with silver color." Says Anders.
"You have to be careful. Travelers who pass in our village say that the Devi pirates reside there and they are dangerous thief." Says Arresterdramon.
"With you and Blackwargreymon...I don't feel like they will be troublesome." Says Anders.
"You're right." Says Blackwargreymon. "They are only adult digimon and I'm an ultimate. They are not strong enough to beat me." He then gives a smile.
"Yeah and-" But Anders was cut when a digimon land on the ground.
A dark dragon digimon lands close to them. His limbs are unusually developed, so it cuts the opponent to pieces with its elongated arms, and flies about the darkness with its tenacious legs and wings. His scales are black and he has a skeleton tattoo on his shoulders. He was also wearing an orange scarf around his neck. He has 4 cruel red eyes and he looks at them with curiosity and stop at Anders. He then charges and quickly caught Anders in his claw before flying away with the human.
"RELEASE HIM!" Shout Shoutmon grapping the tail of the dark dragon.
They dark dragon takes both of them, since Shoutmon still grabs his tail, and flies to the silver mountain.
"...We have to help them. This Devidramon kidnaps them!" Says Arresterdramon.
"I know. We have to run at their direction, if we fly, they'll see us coming and might run away...Or only him." Says Blackwargreymon.
"Let's go!" Says Arresterdramon.
Inside a cavern
The Devidramon puts the human on the ground and looks at him with curiosity. Shoutmon begins to bite his tail and the Devidramon begins to be annoyed by him. He then moves his tail in front of him, take Shoutmon and put him on the ground.
"You better calm down. So...What do we have here?" Says the Devidramon.
"You're back orange! What did you find?" Asks another Devidramon with a red scarf around his neck.
By his side, 2 other Devidramon were there; one with a blue scarf and the other with a purple scarf around their neck.
"I find this...thing." Says Orange.
"Hum...He may worth lots of bytes for such a unique animal." Says Purple.
"We will have something to eat for a while if we sell him without any problem." Says Red.
"...Orange...Where did you find this animal?" Asks Blue when he sees Shoutmon.
"He was with a Blackwargreymon and an Arresterdramon." Says Orange.
"...IDIOT! We are in trouble if they find this cavern! They're going to kill us!" Says blue.
"HEY! Return me and my friend to them now!" Shout Shoutmon.
"And giving up on bytes? Sorry but we can't! It's the only way we can make some bytes." Says Purple.
"We'll beat them without any problem!" Says Red.
"...I can't believe you." Says Blue.
"So...What do we do for now?" Asks Orange.
"We keep them with us for a week, in case they are searching for them. After this, we will sell the animal for money." Says Blue.
"He's not a animal! He's our savior!" Protest Shoutmon. "I'm going to give you a beating!"
Shoutmon jumps at them but the red scarf Devidramon puts him on the ground with one weak slap.
"You can't beat us. Stay still and we will feed you for diner." Says Red.
"Talking about diner...It's now." Says Orange.
"Give them some diginoir." Says Blue.
Purple gives them some diginoir and they eat it, while the Devidramons eat at the same time. After this, they decide to chain them at the wall. When they chain them...They give them a long one that gives them enough freedom to walk around, but stop them if they try to escape. They then all yawn and take a nap. They then begin to snore like hell.
"They sure can snore when they want it." Comments Anders. "Can you break the chain?"
"Let me try it." Says Shoutmon. He takes out his mic., and he hits the chain a few times without any success. "I don't think we can escape on our own."
"We will have to wait for them to rescue us...They fear ultimate digimons...The level of power must be very different between them and Blackwargreymon." Says Anders.
"You have no idea. Arresterdramon is a perfect digimon...And you've see that even with the sword...He loses against an ultimate digimon." Says Shoutmon.
"This cavern is a little cold." Says Anders.
"True...So...What can we do for now?" Asks Shoutmon.
"I have no idea for now...But we don't have anything to warm ourselves...So...I have no choice but to find it on our captor's body." Says Anders.
"Are you crazy? They'll kill you!" Protest Shoutmon.
"I don't think so...They didn't hurt you when you were clearly...annoying the orange one when you bite his tail numerous times. He just puts you on the ground. The red only slap you when you attack him and he appears to be less patient than the orange one. Believe me; Blackwargreymon spanks you when you annoy him." Says Anders.
"I'm still not sure...They have double origin." Says Shoutmon.
"Double origin?" Asks Anders.
"Not sure...Arresterdramon only says they are digimon with double origin...When we are on times of war...They are the one who suffer the most." Says Shoutmon.
"I see. Anyway, I don't think they are evil dragons...They have a scary face...but they are not evil...Bad, but not evil." Says Anders.
Shoutmon didn't believe that but he didn't protest any further. What Anders says was true. They didn't hurt him and what's more, he's useless for them. They can just kill him or throw him out of their way but they didn't do anything to hurt him.
Anders was moving closer to the orange one and sit next to him. The orange one was snoring strongly. Anders lays against his flank and feel his heat body warming him. The devidramon moves a little but he stays still and returns to his peaceful nap. Shoutmon walks closer to him and watches them in case something bad happen.
After an hour, their nap seems to be over and they wake up. The orange one was the last and he feels something on his flank. He looks down and sees the human resting against his flank. He didn't say anything about this and stay that way for a while. The others wake up and begin talking about what to do if the ultimate digimon come. They clearly didn't want to die, but they also want the bytes to have decent food but they also talking about raising their quality of their cavern.
"Why don't you release us?" Says Anders. "You'll evade all the trouble."
"Sorry, but we need at least a pillow or a bed...And I think you'll give us just that." Says the blue one.
"He has to return home." Protest Shoutmon.
"Sorry but we need to live and not just surviving." Protest the orange one. Anders stands up and walks in front of them.
"Why don't you try finding a job somewhere?" Asks Anders.
"We are Devidramons...No one wants to trust us. We have no choice to live that way." Says the purple one. He closes his 4 eyes for an instant.
"With that scary face...That's for sure." Says Shoutmon.
"Not helping." Says Anders.
"We do what we can to survive." Says the blue one.
"Do you know about the kingdom situation?" Asks Anders.
"No!" Says the orange one.
"Baka!" Shout the red one who punches his face.
"I'm not an imbecile." Whine the orange one.
"Yes you are!" Replies the red one.
"*Sigh* Stop this already." Says the blue one. The 2 calm down. "We know something's going on since they are less guard pursuing us, but that is all...It's not of our business anyway."
"...The Dragon kingdom is being attack by the Beast kingdom for seven years." Says Anders.
"So?" Asks the orange one.
"I see what you mean...But it still has nothing to do with us." Says the blue one.
"They won't accept our help anyway." Says the purple one. "Even if we wanted, they will refuse our help."
"Have you even tried this?" Asks Anders.
"No...But it won't work." Says the blue one.
They appear to be resigning at their destiny.
"I see." Says Anders.
"Let's go." Says the blue one.
The 3 Devidramons follow him outside the cavern.
"What do we do for now?" Asks Shoutmon.
"We wait for our friends to rescue us." Then Anders takes out his GL.
"I think I'll call them." Says Anders.
"They can only hear you...I think." Says Shoutmon.
"No...I hear them answer me when I speak with them remember." Says Anders.
"...Oh...Yeah! Now I remember." Says Shoutmon.
"I'll try it. Hello? Arresterdramon? Blackwargreymon?" Asks Anders.
"-Anders! You're alright.-" Answers Arresterdrmaon. "-Is Shoutmon alright too?-"
"Yes! He's fine and by my side...Where are you?" Asks Anders.
"-We are near the cavern where we see 4 Devidramon getting out...How many more are inside the cavern?-" Asks Blackwargreymon.
"There all out!" Answers Anders.
"-We're going in.-" Says Arresterdramon. "-Be here in a few minutes.-"
"They will be here soon." Says Shoutmon.
"Yeah!" Says Anders.
They then both hear a sound of someone entering inside the cavern again. It was the 4 Devidramons. They all sit at the back of the cavern with a defeat look. After a moment of silent.
"We find nothing today." Says the red.
"When we will sell this strange being, we'll be fine for a few weeks." Says the purple one.
"WHO ARE YOU GOING TO SELL?" Scream Blackwargreymon.
"..." The Devidramons observe the source of the voice. "It's a B-b-b-b-b-BLACKWARGREYMON! RUN!" Scream the orange Devidramon.
The 4 tries to fly away but Blackwargreymon grabs their tail and pull them out of Shoutmon and Anders view.
"I'll be back in an instant." Says Blackwargreymon.
Arresterdramon passes and free the 2 captives while the sound of a beating is hear. Multiple attacks his hear and the Devidramons shout in pain. Suddenly one appears close to them and grabs the ground.
"You won't escape me." Says Blackwargreymon. He then pulls Devidramon out of their sight again.
"PLEASE! NONONO-NONO *BANG* ARGH!" Shout in pain the Devidramon.
The beating continues for a minute before in end.
The 3 rejoins Blackwargreymon and they see the 4 Devidramons with black eyes, scratches and bruise all over their body. They were all panting and wine in pain.
"That shall calm them down." Says Blackwargreymon.
"Did they do something bad to you?" Asks Arresterdramon worry.
"No...They were just thinking of selling me." Says Anders.
"I shall kill them myself." Says Arresterdramon.
The 4 Devidramons back away and tremble in fear.
"Spare us!" Says the purple one.
"Stop!" Says Anders.
Arresterdramon looks at him. "Why?"
"Because they only did that to obtain food. They are just trying to survive!" Says Anders. "They are not evil. If they were...They would have kill Shoutmon when he was attacking them. They just push him out of the way."
"...I see. But we can't let them free. They will continue their act of thievery again." Says Arresterdramon.
"Let's find a city and put them in jail." Says Blackwargreymon.
"Not the jail!" Says the orange one.
"I know what to do with them that won't need to kill or put them in jail." Says Anders.
"What is your suggestion?" Asks Blackwargreymon.
"Don't tell me you intent to do that?" Says Shoutmon.
"Yes...We shall bring them with us to the capital and try finding them a legal job." Says Anders.
"WHAT!" Everyone shout by surprise.
"The problem is that they don't have a job and they do anything they can to survive." Says Anders.
"You want to trust them!" Says Arresterdramon and Blackwargreymon.
"Yes...They are not evil. They will follow us and you'll make sure they don't do anything wrong." Says Anders.
"..."
After a while, a short argument begins in their head, but in the end, they decide to trust Anders decision.
"Alright...You 4...Do you agree with my suggestion?" Asks Anders.
"...Alright...We have no choice anyway." Says the blue one.
"We have lost enough time now. Let's go." Says Blackwargreymon.
"Wait...We can transport all of you if you want...When we will be at top shape." Says Devidramon with the blue scarf.
"You can't! The DCA must be ready to fire at any time." Says Blackwargreymon.
"Don't worry about it. We can fly high enough over cities and not being targeted by the DCA." Says the purple one with a smile.
"...As long as we follow the roads I've receive...It should be fine." Says Blackwargreymon. "If what you say is the true."
AC: It seems their journey will be shorter than they first think so...Maybe.
