Chapter 6:Ninja Revelations, Amaterasumon Appears.
An hour had passed since the fight in the woods between the digidestined and ninja forces led by Ravemon, soon enough the group had found themselves enthralled in a much more thicker area of the forest where it became much harder to for most of the group to move about due to the trees being so close together, a large shadow rested above them. "Geez don't tell me they actually built thier base on these trees!" said Kasumi abit peeved at the situation, Ken and the ninja twins on the other hand had no trouble moving about at all while leaping from one tree branch to another, although the twins were using thier kunai blades to steady themselves.
"I'm suprised you know how to handle tree climbing without tools." Mikato muttered while carrying Liollmon on her back, Ken was doing the same with Veemon, Coronamon and Lunamon had to be helped up by a Ninjamon and Kogamon while two more each helped Kasumi and Maki, Shizuka was also doing well while carrying Bearmon.
"Parkour training...you get used to it." he said as to her suprise he lept above her while building momentum and ran up the tree bark she had been climbing to a higher branch before turning and looking down with a tired look. "Come on we ain't got all day!" he yelled down as he continued upward, Veemon shook his head while Mikato only glared a hole through him.
"Look at that cocky bastard showing off." she thought.
"Hey Ken, was it ok to get her angry?" asked Veemon, who felt nervous that Ken didn't seem to be intending to stop climbing up higher, despite the fact he was a dragon digimon in his current form he couldn't fly and therefore was scared of high places. "Also, shouldn't we be using some tools or something, this feels dangerous." Ken shrugged as he climbed up further and eventually saw what looked like a descending stairwell which wrapped around the tree they were currently going up, some more Ninjamon and Kogamon were gaurding it but they backed off when Ken arrived with Mikato right behind him. Climbing up the stairwell they found themselves entering a circular tunnel which lead to a large outdoor temple.
"Oh wow, check this place out!" said Shizuka who was the third human to make it up, Bearmon, Liollmon and Veemon looked around. "It's like the temple we were raised in sister." Mikato nodded to this but was still in shock.
"So the rumors are true, I heard that a large clan of digimon ninja's had made a temple in the Forest Dominion, but I didn't expect it to be real." said Bearmon starring around in disbelief, at each corner of the temple grounds stood statues of Ravemon in different poses however there was nothing arrogent about them, as the faces on them showed total seriousness.
"At least there's no zombie statue." Ken muttered, Mikato and Shizuka looked at him oddly. "Please don't ask." he said as Ravemon soon descended from the sky while Maki and Kasumi along with thier partners had finally made it up.
"Welcome to the Raving Sky Temple, I am the gaurdian of the Forest Dominion Ravemon!" Kasumi was sweating badly from the climb up, Lunamon held her up as best she could.
"We figured that much already, but what is this place, and what do you mean Forest Dominion?" she asked, Liollmon smiled.
"It's simple, this digital's worlds areas are devided into what we call dominions, basically each area is home to certain digimon types." Ravemon nodded.
"The forest dominion is also one of the few balanced dominions as many digimon types live here, unlike say in the Jungle Dominion as that area is more viney and where mostly grass and insect digimon live." said a Ninjamon.
"How many dominions are there?" asked Shizuka.
"There are several of them, but we'll talk more about that later. So your the digidestined that Grey told me about." this shocked the five teens.
"Hold on, you knew we were coming?" asked Maki, Ravemon nodded.
"Yes, the one known as Grey landed in some kind of pod near this temple about two weeks ago." said Ravemon looking at the sky remembering when the pod had come down like a meteor, and had almost smashed into thier temple. "We went immediantly to inspect the damage and found him inside, at first we thought he was an enemy like the other human who's been corrupting digimon to the point were they can not be reincarnated, but that was not the case with him after we faught. I could tell he and his digimon were not evil. He then told us of how he had come to find a digidestined team from the real world and was going to send them here to stop the evil as the prophecy had said." By this point all of the digimon had returned and had gathered around Ravemon like children listening to an elder.
"Wait, there's a prophecy here?" asked Kasumi who was skeptical. "I mean I would really love to help Lunamon, but saying that it was beyond our control is abit much?" Maki nodded.
"Kinda creepy too, the digidestined and tamers might have been accepting of it, but they were naive children, we're nearly adults." he said, Ken sweatdropped.
"If Rika was here right now, we would be so freaking dead." he thought. "How does this prophecy go?" he asked, to thier suprise Veemon stood up.
"I know how it goes." Ravemon was suprised by this as Veemon recited it.
~When the overwhelming darkness comes to swallow the light
The five shall rise, each with a digivice from far off land's to fight.
Soul, Passion, Spirit, and Unity.
Shall be the powers given to thee.
Soul and Spirit bring the Power, Passion is the Heart.
Unity binds them together so they don't fall apart.
They shall aid the light, as a redeemed one glows with the brightness of the sky and sea.
Courage, Friendship, Miracles. Only the Soul has the key.~
"I am most suprised you know it." said Ravemon as the humans took it in, Ken and Kasumi seemed to understand thier roles while the ninja twins and Maki were still confused.
"I found the tablet in my original dominion before I was chased out by that mad human." Veemon's fists clinched.
"Wait, are you from the dramon dominion?" asked Ravemon, who then nodded. "Yes, you have to have been because Veemon's are rare digimon and thier kind has always only been found in that dominion...before it was destroyed..." Veemon looked up in shock. "Yes, the dragon's ravine where nearly all dramon type digimon lived, is no longer there." Ken narrowed his eyes while Veemon began shaking more.
"Was it this other human who did it?" asked Ken as he consoled his partner to thier suprise Ravemon shook his head.
"No, but it was the work of a mysterious digimon who looked similar to a Knightmon, only one of our ninja digimon made it back long enough to tell us of this before he died." Ken shook his head.
"So we've got an unkown digimon, and a human who's corrupting digimon causing havoc?" asked Mikato who was as angry as Ken was, Ravemon nodded.
"Yes, the human is the primary target however due to his dark digivice that he uses to convert and enslave digimon to his will. Fortunitly he has only been able to enslave digimon of the Champion and Armor levels so far, but we don't know if he is doing that to stay out of sight of us or if he needs more power to control higher level digimon." said Ravemon.
"Yeah, some of us have seen it." said a couple of Ninjamon, it looks like a square flat handheld device." Kasumi's eyes widened as she knew what it had to be.
"The only device that comes close to something like that is an Ipad, a Digivice Ipad?" she muttered, Ken shook his head.
"A digivice is a digivice, but the one using the digivice is the problem here and we need to stop him." he said, the others nodded, but Maki then frowned.
"How do we do this without any equipment?" the others looked at him and then realised he was right. "Grey didn't exactly tell us to bring food and supplies." he then eyed the ninja twins. "And even though you two have your tools and weapons they won't last long for five people." he said, Ken clinched his fist.
"That's the second time he set us up...if this is a trap i'll dropkick him to death even if we..." Ravemon grunted as he could see Ken's expression changing.
"Actually, Grey told us to prepare some supplies for you. It's not much mostly just food and water, but that's all a human really needs or at least that's what he said." Maki and Ken both sweatdropped as Kasumi approached Ravemon and held up her tag.
"Mr. Ravemon, do you know where the Crest of Passion is?" she asked, Ravemon was shocked.
"Your the one to bear the crest?" he asked before nodding. "I know where the crest is, but getting to it won't be easy as it's not in this dominion, it is in the Jungle dominion and is gaurded by a Rosemon." Lunamon gasped.
"A Mega level?" Ken shook his head.
"Is it just me or is Grey trying to get our butts in gear from the get go, I mean come on first he sicks an Ultimate on us and now we've gotta contend with a Mega to get Kasumi's crest?" he thought, however Ravemon held up his hand.
"I will accompany you and talk to her, she and I go a ways back and I'm sure we can reach some form of an agreement about the crest's obtain..." he was stopped when two attacks came at them from the air, one was a barrage of missiles while the other was a shockwave, Ravemon glared up and saw a pteradactyl digimon holding a goat digimon with it's legs.
"Oryxmon and Pteramon!" he yelled, growling more when he saw they had dark aura's around thier bodies. "They are corrupted!" upon saying this all of the Ninjamon and Kogamon present threw Shruikens at the two but the Pteramon dodged as Ken and Maki tried to analyze them, Maki being the first with Pteramon.
Pteramon: the armor digivolved form of Armadilliomon with the digiegg of love, he flies at mach speeds and his special attack is Missile Storm.
Ken got the other one with his digivice burst.
Oryxmon: the digivolved form of Gatomon with the digiegg of hope, special attack is Mystic Bell.
"More armor levels?" thought Ken, but before he could do anything a portal opened up behind him, smoke coming from out of it wrapped around him and Veemon and dragged the two in.
"What the heck?" yelled Maki who lunged along with Coronamon to grab them, but it was too late.
"No Veemon!" yelled Coronamon as the two armor level digimon continued to attack. "Maki we've gotta stop them!" Maki nodded and took out his digivolution card, Kasumi and Shizuka both helped thier parnters evolve while Mikato simply stared at where Ken and Veemon had dissappeared too.
"Sis what's wrong?" asked Shizuka, Mikato shook her head and looked at Liollmon who then digivolved as she glanced back once more. "I don't know where they were pulled, but someone with a high power pulled them in there." she thought as the digimon tried to fight off the two armor level digimon only for another one to join in much to Ravemon's shock, even though it didn't look threatening as it was a bear like digimon with pink stocking like ears, it was powerful enough to knock the digidestined's digimon down easily with pink arrows.
"Watch out, that's a Bucchiemon, a powerful armor level!" he yelled out as Kasumi's digivice came to life analyzing it.
Bucchiemon: the armor form of Wormmon with the digiegg of kindness, it can be either a vaccine type or a data type depending on it's color, it's attacks are unchanged however in power.
"This isn't good, even with Ravemon on our side this digimon could even the playing feild." thought Kasumi as she looked around. "Ken we need you to beat these digimon, please come back!" she thought as Lekismon and Firamon stood up and lept up at the armor digimon.
Inside a dark void, Ken and Veemon began to stir having been knocked out by the strange gas clouds that had yanked them to wherever they were. "Ok, are we in the digital world's hell?" asked Ken, Veemon got up and looked around, they were surrounded by swirrling grey energy, but beneath thier feet it felt like solid ground.
"I don't think we're dead...but uh..." a voice cut Veemon off.
"I mearly wanted to speak with you two, is there something wrong with that?" came a majestic elderly voice. the two turned and saw the humanoid wolf digimon who had been watching them before although they did not know it.
"Huh, and who are you..." Ken stopped after getting a good look at her and the throne she sat on so majestically, a table with tarot cards was before her as well. "Madame web!" the digimon chuckled.
"I am similar to her, but i'm a digimon and certainly not affiliated with spiders." she said. "My name is Amaterasumon." upon hearing the name, Veemon's jaw dropped.
"No way, one of the three peace watchers?" he said in disbelief, Amaterasumon nodded.
Amaterasumon: a God like observer digimon who tends to watch events unfold rather than fight herself, but she will fight with her tarot powers if she is challenged.
"I've brought you here to empart upon you some knowledge." she said while looking at the cards on her table. "In order to bring forth your digimon's true power you must let go of your restraints." Ken rose an eyebrow.
"Granny Ama, what's that supposed to mean?" A force of energy whapped him over the head, Veemon sweatdropped.
"Please don't refer to me as Granny..." she said in an irratated mannor. "You are the soul of the prophecy that hangs over this land, but in order to control the soul you must release the restraint from you heart."
"Restraint, what is she talking about?" Ken then thought it over. "Wait, back then when Veemon digivolved to Ultimate I thought I was running on pure adrenaline, but that's not the case..." he stared down at his hands. "The reason Veemon stopped his attack was because of me wasn't it?" Amaterasumon nodded.
"To kill or not to kill, that is a question that is always brought out in battles. Hesitation has cost many a warrior thier chances for victory. Your hesitation did save your world from doom as without the one known as Grey you wouldn't have known what to do or get to the digital world, however at the same time...you hesitate to digivolve your partner again because you fear the concequences." Ken growled.
"Lady Amaterasu, I don't fear anything!" he yelled at her, she mearly smirked.
"You say that with your brain, but does your heart feel the same way?" she asked, Ken was taken aback and lowered his head.
"Yes, I am afraid of passing out again and ending up in the hospital, i'm afraid that if I push Veemon too far he could turn out like SkullGreymon, Megidramon and ShineGreymon Ruin Mode." Veemon looked at him oddly wondering what he meant, however Ken rose up his eyes and a smile crossed his lips.
"But as a wise man once said, a digivolution's path can't be changed. If Veemon turns evil because of my actions then I will bear the pain with him." his digisoul began to ignite around his body. "I will not be afraid any more, I will not hesitate to strike down anyone who causes trouble." his soul charge grew brighter. "This evil man who walks the digital world, the dark knight who took Veemon's kin away from him..." the glow became brighter to the point where both Amaterasumon and Veemon had to sheild thier eyes from it. "I will crush them all, anyone who distrubs life must be punished!" he yelled out as his soul grew brighter.
Back at the temple, most if not all of the Ninja and Kogamon had been beaten, Firamon and Lekismon were currently stuck in the walls while Liamon and Grizzlymon were still trying to hold the armor level digimon off while Ravemon was dodging Bucchiemon's attacks. A flash of lightning cracked through the sky, and from it came a pillar of intense blue light, from the beam, Ken and Veemon were both descending towards Bucchiemon at a speed so fast that even Ravemon was shocked.
"Hey Pinky!" Ken yelled at Bucchiemon causing the dark aura digimon to look up long enough to get punched in the face so hard it was sent crashing into the temple ground and almost went through it, Ken then looked at the other armor levels. "No more games! Digisoul FULL CHARGE!" he yelled out plunging his digisoul into his digivice.
"Veemon Warp Digivolve too..." Veemon bypassed the Veedramon level and soon became the very digimon that had faught MetalGreymon two nights before. "AeroVeedramon!"
"No way, he did it again!" yelled Maki suprised as Firamon got out of the temple wall.
"Veemon digivolved to Ultimate and he is..."
"...In control..." both he and Lekismon said at the same time, not hesitating AeroVeedramon quickly grabbed Oryxmon by the forehead and chunked it at Pteramon sending them both flying into the air.
"V-Wing Blade!" he yelled out sending out a large blue V shape of energy that struck both of them and deleted them instantly only leaving behind two small SD cards with the digieggs of Love and Hope on them, AeroVeedramon then turned to Bucchiemon who seemed ready to fight, but Ravemon took advantage of this distraction.
"Celestial Blade!" he yelled, purple lightning crashed down from the sky and struck Bucchiemon hard, but to thier amazement it wouldn't go down.
"AeroVeedramon, FINISH HIM!" yelled Ken in a tone that shook Maki, Kasumi, the Ninja Twins and Ravemon to the core. "Bucchiemon you've been corrupted and so help me, I will find the one who did this to you, and make him pay!" He yelled out as AeroVeedramon opened his mouth.
"V-Breath Arrow Max!" he yelled out unleashing a V-shaped arrow of energy that struck Bucchiemon hard and began to delete it, however as it deleted Ken saw a faint smile cross the digimon's lips as if in it's last moments it knew what needed to be done.
Outside of the forest near the Lake Dominion, Takuto's Digivice Ipad began glowing with dark energies which shocked him . "Oh that's great, so even one of the three strongest armor types couldn't help get the job..." he stopped when the ipad suddenly shook violently as more power surged into it. "What the fuck...if that was any intenser this thing could've broken..." he and Dorumon glanced back at the forest.
"Master, should I go and take care of this?" to his suprise, Takuto shook his head.
"No, don't bother...whoever this is...we can't fight them as we are now..." he muttered as he turned and headed along the lake shore. "If this digivice ipad doesn't evolve soon i'll be screwed if this power surge catches us, who in the freaking hell could produce such an outburst anyway." thought Takuto.
Back at the temple, Veemon dedigivolved back into Demi Veemon as Ken pocketed the three SD armor cards and held his partner proudly. "No more hesitating right buddy, we'd never be able to look Granny Amatsa in the face if we do." Demi-Veemon smiled back, but then sweatdropped when Ken was suddenly wacked by an outside force.
"Where did that come from?" asked Kasumi, Mikato glared.
"Ever since Ken was taken into that portal I've been feeling the presscence of an extremely poweful force." she glared at Ken. "So who is this "Amatsa" you speak of?" Ravemon's eyes widened upon hearing this.
"Amatsa? The only digimon I know of who could come close to that name is Amaterasumon, but she's not the type to get involved in the affairs of the worlds...or could it be that she only wanted the human child, Grey was right...there's more to this boy than meets the eye." he thought as evening came.
"Oh crap, we forgot about the crest!" yelled Maki, Ravemon shook his head.
"It's ok, we need to rest and repair the damages to our temple and then we will go seek out the crest tommarrow." he nodded to two Ninjamon and Kogamon. "Show them to thier rooms, they are our guests for the night." The ninja digimon nodded and did so.
"Wait, shouldn't we contact Grey and tell him what's going on? I mean...we don't know how time flows here compared to the human world." said Kasumi, Ken shrugged.
"We can't leave until you get your crest, i'm sure he'll come up with an excuse if the time is synched up perfectly." Maki nodded.
"I could go for some rest though, those armor digimon sure did a number." Coronamon sighed.
"Be thankful you weren't fighting them, Pteramon's aren't normally that powerful." he said as the five humans and thier digimon were lead to the temples sleeping quarters for the night, Ravemon looked up at the sky as soon night began to fall.
"Amaterasumon, what are you truely after." he asked as he looked up at the sky.
In her private pocket space void, Amaterasumon only smiled. "To awaken the second warrior of peace and hopefully someday, link with the third in that other world to call forth the third digimon god." with that said she fell back into the darkness.
Arriving in the jungle dominion, Kasumi must take a test by Rosemon to earn her crest, however the test will not be easy for her or Maki who is the only one who can help her complete it.
As you can probably tell, like the terminals and zones from the frontier and xros wars series i've devided the areas of this digital world into dominions, until next time peace out hommies.
