I was sitting down staring at my D-Tector when Grumblemon came over.
"Lord Cherubimon has orders for you, me take you to him." I sighed and walked with the gnome. The only other warrior in the room was Mercurymon.
"So what are these orders you have for me." I asked impatiently.
"Thy impatience could be thy downfall, try to control it." Mercurymon said.
"Enough. Now Jason, I need you to go back to that group of children one more time." The giant figure informed.
"And why do you want me to do that?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"The children still think that you are on their side, and when Grumblemon attacks them, you will help him. They will be weakened and their spirits will be easy to grab because they will be so shaken." I went with the plan, it would help me to protect my friends faster. Duskmon opened a portal and I walked through. Koji and the others were up ahead a few yards.
"Hey guys! Wait up!" I shouted, putting on a fake smile. They all turned and ran to me. I made up a bogus story and they informed me that Bokomon was going to show us the path of wisdom.
"Glad to have you back." Zoe said and gave me a short, friendly Hug. What it's with girls and hugging. Although the look on JP's face was priceless.
"Why does he get to hug Zoe?" He whined. I followed them and saw Koichi giving me strange looks. wonder what that's all about.
"So what's your wise solution?" JP asked.
"Fortune telling." Bokomon said, making me groan. This is a waste of time.
"Fortune telling?" All they others questioned.
"Shamanmon is the wisest digimon of them all." Bokomon informed as an area with lots of tents came into view. We entered the area and looked at everything as we followed Bokomon.
"If I would have told you that, you'd have said I was crazy." Neemon commented.
"You are crazy, but that's beside the point." Bokomon told the bunny.
"Why are we here, Bokomon? All these fortune tellers are fake." JP said, after listening to a few of the fortune tellers.
"Like my grandmama's teeth." Neemon added.
"Have more faith, please. I do know what I'm doing. Shamanmon is the real thing." Bokomon reassured And faced a digimon as we entered a huge stone temple, "Shamonmon, I call upon your wisdom, your insight and basically we're asking for 2 cents worth of advice."
"Who calls upon Shamanmon?" the digimon hadn't turned around to face us, but it resembled a goblimon from the back.
"Weary travelers in need of guidance from the universe." Bokomon said.
"Oh you'll get guidance all right." Shamanmon said as he turned around, everyone but Koji, Koichi, and I looked shocked.
"What a minute, I remember you!" Takuya shouted.
"You're one of those nasty Goblinmon from the wind factory." Zoe added. Wait! What wind factory?
"Come on you guys, let's get him!" Tommy suggested, but Bokomon stopped them and started waving frantically.
"No no no!" Shamanmon's one of the good guys!" Bokomon told us as the Shamanmon started to dance.
"You should be very careful. Ahead you face much danger. You will come up against a foe you have faced before, but this foe has a friend and in meeting him you will find out that a friend is your foe." I tensed up as this digimon predicted about my alliance with Cheurbimon.
"I don't buy it." Takuya commented, and Tommy agreed.
"Then listen to this! The greatest test will be face by you two." He pointed his club at Takuya and Tommy, "This test has the power to ddestroy you all if you're not careful." The Shamanmon backed away and I started to get worried, but hopefully the others wouldn't figure out the first message ahead of time. Then it would be harder to get their spirits. Suddenly the ground shook and we all ran outside. There was Grumblemon riding on top of a golemon. Everyone then digivolved to their spirit forms except for those that didn't have spirits, myself, and Koji, who tried to beast spirit evolve but was stopped by Grumblemon.
"Me thinks that I be forgetting something. Grumblemon's new ally!" He shouted, I clutched my D-Tector.
"What's he mean?" Agunimon asked. I walked in front of all them, my head facing the ground.
"Execute, Spirit Evolution! Grademon" I stood There with both of my swords in my hands.
"I'm sorry." I ran forward and knocked Beetlemon down with my swords.
"Hey what was that for?!" The beetle yelled, while Grumblemon laughed.
"Meet Grumblemon's newest ally!" The gnome continued laughing.
"Grr... Traitor!" Agunimon shouted, and ran forward. I sidestepped and drove the handle of my sword into his back. Grumblemon stood back and watched as I grabbed Kumamon's paw and flipped him into the air before launching a barrage of kicks to his back.
"Please, just hand over your spirits and your suffering will end." I told them, holding back tears.
"Never!" They shouted and Kumamon jumped forward and started to attack. I jumped above him and came straight down with my sword into the middle of his back. A ring of fractal code surrounded the small figure and I took the spirit of Kumamon and Tommy fell to the ground. I picked the boy up.
"Give him back!' Takuya shouted.
"Don't hurt him!" Zoe added. I put the boy far enough away from the battle so that he couldn't get hurt any more. My attention was soon redirected to the stone temple, and the digimon that flew out of it. It charged me, but I dodged.
"We go bye now!" Grumblemon yelled and dug into the ground, I flew off after him and followed the tunnel and reached the Warriors base of operations. I watched as the tunnel collapsed, leaving no way for the others to find this place. I took a look at the spirit in my hand and threw it to Grumblemon. Ranamon came out from behind a pillar and pointed her finger at me.
"Wy didn't ya finish that job. You could have taken all their spirits easy!" She accused.
"I think all the water has gotten to your brain, Ranamon. That creature that attacked Grumblemon and I was too powerful. But rest assured Grumblemon will go out there again, he has rocks for brains. So he'll want to go back after them once the creature is gone." I left the water nymph standing there with a confused face and walked to my chambers. When I grabbed Tommy, did they really think that I had become so bad that I would hurt him? Will I become that kind of monster? No, I won't let that happen. Once they are safe, I'll personally take care of Cherubimon and these warriors on my own. I looked at the monitor in my quarters, and watched as Takuya took the spirit of the creature, which was his beast spirit, and then he involuntarily spirit evolved into it. He attacked all of the others without mercy. There is no way that I would ever do something like that, but still, I wonder if they'll ever forgive me.
