This time I got a better look of the town. There were small digimon everywhere. The houses were little cottages also giving off a purple complexion. Basically the only thing that was not purple was the strips of data that had the traditional colors; White, Black, Red, Yellow, Green, and Pink. In the center of the town had a huge statue of a huge digimon. It had sort of torn wings and the only part of it that was not a shiny black was a red orb like object in the palm of his hand that swirled the six colors.

I looked at the statue. "Who's that?"

Sorcerymon flew over with Wizardmon over his shoulder. "That is Dunusmon, God of Wizardry. Legend has it that he was the first digimon to use magic and passed down his knowledge of it down to our ancestors."

I starred at the orb. I was somewhat drawn to it. I totally forgot where I was and just stared into the object. Suddenly Calumon jumped to my shoulders, snapping me out of my daze.

"Come on! They're going to Wizardmon's and Sorcerymon's house." He said as he hopped around on my shoulders.

I did not realize that they started to walk away. I quickly ran to the others. When I finally caught up I took one final glance over my shoulder at the ord. When I realized that I was about to drift off again I shook my head and looked away.

We made our way to cottage like house as Sorcerymon placed Wizardmon on his bed.

"He should be fine after a rest."

"Good."

After a while in silence Clockmon finally broke the silence.

"Sorcerymon, are you and your brother the protectors of this village."

Sorcerymon shook his head. "No, but our father, Mistymon, is."

"Cool!" I had to add.

Sorcerymon looked down at me. "I must ask, why did you help my brother? I know that he can be irritable at times."

I was taking irritable meaning a jerk. "Yeah, but that's no reason just to leave him there and let him die."

"You have a heart of gold, for someone so young."

I blushed with embarrassment and scratched the back of my head. "It's nothin' really. It's mostly just instincts."

"None the less, I thank you. You can stay here as long as you want."

I nodded my head. "Thank you."

After a moment I finally gathered enough courage to ask a simple question. "So what's Mistymon like?" I guess I asked it to remember about my own dad.

"He's very protective of our village, especially when it comes to fighting Team Demon."

"Hey what was that orb in the statue?" I asked out of curiosity.

"That orb is called the 'Orb of Wyvern'. It supplies enough magic to protect us from any one that threatens our village. It only allows people with a heart of good to pass through the force field."

"Whoa… So that's why you believed me so fast?"

"Yes… I knew if you passed through the force field, you had to be good."

"And this force field, it will protect you from Akumamon?" asked Clockmon.

"Unfortunately, no. It is not strong enough to stop Team Demon's reign of torture."

I looked towards to the ground sadly.

"And he will not stop until he is successful in gaining the power of the orb."

I was now in full interest. I already knew what this was leading to. "So how have you been surviving this long? You got to be doing something right…"

"We have been lowering our magic level to near nothing to cover our tracks. But seeing that my brother has been attacked by one of their men, I suggest that they know where we are now."

I nodded my head. "That's how I found your city."

Sorcerymon's eyes widened. "What?"

"Devidramon data was deformed into MetalGreymon X and was forced to attack, most likely to confirm that the location was correct." Clockmon really had a good way to explain things to where they sounded almost hopeful. "And seeing that thy queen was successful in rebooting Devidramon's data we may have confirmed his suspicions."

We all looked at the ground sorrowful. I finally got tired of the feeling and looked up determination. "Well feeling sorry for ourselves ain't gonna change a thing."

Sorcerymon stood up on his staff. "She is right. This is no way for a warrior to act."

Calumon and Clockmon looked up at Sorcerymon and nodded.

"So then should we get ready for a battle?" I asked.

Sorcerymon placed a finger on his chin. "You are correct…but father would have told us by now if we were at war with Team Demon… I wonder why he has not told us to prepare…"

I grew slightly angry at him for relying so much in his dad. And I guess a small part of me was mad that his dad sounded so great like mine. "It doesn't matter!" I could not help but to shout. "We're going to train either way so let's go!" I said gesturing towards the door.

Sorcerymon nodded his head. "Right."

We got just outside the village to where there was a big enough clearing for us to train. Lynxmon battled against Devidramon as Sorcerymon put his magic to the test against Clockmon's machinery.

I paid most of my attention to Devidramon during battle. He used his ability to travel through shadows to get the sneak on Lynxmon from behind as he used his what I guessed was his Crimson Claw attack. Soon enough Lynxmon finally figured away to dodge his attack by using his hearing to hear the air slashed by Devidramon's claws and recoiled at the last possible moment with a howl fire like attack that I soon found out was called 'Howling Buster'. When I noticed this, I smiled and cheered on Lynxmon. "Way to go Lynxmon!"

Lynxmon glanced over his shoulder blade and nodded at me.

I looked up at Devidramon. "Come on double D! Find another way to fight him!" I cheered him on.

I looked over at Sorcerymon's and Clockmon's battle. Sorcerymon flew into the air and raised his staff at Clockmon. "Crystal Barrage!" He fired multiple ice shards from his staff towards Clockmon.

Clockmon raised his hammer. "Time Buster!" The attack was quickly and easily dodged by his new found speed from the attack.

Clockmon came up behind him, still on the ground, and raised his hammer. "Chrono Breaker!"

Sorcerymon looked back at him, eye widened. A yellow glow came to Sorcerymon as he fell to the ground.

I could not help but to stand up and wave my hands in the air. "Come on Sorcerymon! Come on! Get up!"

He slowly got to his knees. He saw a shadow cast over him. He looked up at Clockmon who lowered the end of his hammer for him to grab. Sorcerymon gratefully took his helping hand and got up off the ground.

"Good battle Sorcerymon." Clockmon said in a reassuring tone. "Most digimon are not as lucky as you to survive a full force Chrono Breaker from a royal knight."

Sorcerymon nodded his head. "Thank you Clockmon. It is an honor for an amateur Sorcerer as myself to fight alongside you."

I was a little disappointed that they stopped battling so soon. But I soon noticed them walking away from each other and falling into a fighting stance. "All right!" I murmured to myself.

Sorcerymon charged towards Clockmon to attack with his staff. Clockmon blocked his attack with his hammer. The two champions were pushing as hard as they could against their weapons until someone interrupted. "Sorcerymon!"

Both battles seized as they looked at the new digimon that walked towards us.

"Father!" Sorcerymon walked over to his father.

"Sorcerymon! What are you doing battling?" I started to recall his Father's name as Mistymon.

"I am preparing for the real battle that I will have against Team Demon."

Mistymon was slightly shocked by his answer. He looked over at the other three champions. "And who are they."

"Father, this is Team Halo." He gestured his hand towards me. "And this is their leader, Aurora Powers."

I decided to go and walk over to the two.

"A human child? This is who I heard that is suppose to take down Team Demon. A mere human child?"

I was growing angry with every word.

"Father please trust me when I say that they are stronger than they look. She alone saved brother from a deformed MetalGreymon X."

I nodded my head in agreement, trying to hide my anger.

Mistymon placed a hand on Sorcerymon shoulder. "Son, I assure you, there is no reason to battle."

"I would not be too sure." Clockmon added as he walked to Sorcerymon's side. "Akumamon is brutal fierce warrior and not to be taken lightly."

Lynxmon and Devidramon nodded and grunted in agreement.

Mistymon looked at him with a slight glare and looked back it his son. "There will be no fighting." With that said he walked away.

For a digimon with a flaming sword he really doesn't like fighting.

Sorcerymon heaved a heavy sigh full of sorrow.

I grabbed his hand to make him look at me. "It's okay… We're plenty strong to beat those guys."

Clockmon was about to add something, but I gave him a look to tell him to shut up and to roll with it.

Later that day I watched the sunset outside of Sorcerymon's house with Calumon in my arms while Lynxmon and Devidramon were asleep. I heard the door open from behind me but did not turn away. I only looked away when I saw that Sorcerymon had sat down beside me with his hand on his knees, arms resting on his legs as he heaved a heavy sigh. I took one final glance at the beautiful and somewhat magical sunset to comfort the saddened digimon.

"What's wrong?"

He looked at me. "Hm? Oh…It's nothing Aurora… I am just a little confused at my father…"

I nodded my head. "Uh-huh."

"I don't understand how he can just think that things are going to be okay…" He shook his head in disbelief.

I looked at his cloak and noticed that the sunset was now leaving. I cold breeze came across the city. Lynxmon and Devidramon woke from their sleep and started to growl at the direction it came. Me and Sorcerymon stood up looking at the same direction.

"What was that?"

"They're coming." I quickly ran inside to get Clockmon, dropping Calumon to the ground. He was talking to the still injured Wizardmon. "Clockmon!" I shouted.

The two looked at me with a shock and confused look. "Yes thy queen?"

"They're coming!"

Clockmon eyes widened and, as fast as he could, stood up.

"Who's coming?" Asked Wizardmon as he stood up.

Clockmon looked over his shoulder. "Team Demon."

Wizardmon's eye widened.

I heard Sorcerymon behind me. "Gather the troops!"

The seven of us quickly got to the entrance along with two Strabimon, five Renamon, three Youkomon, a Doumon, two BlackGatomon, and four Witchmon, with a total of an army of twenty-four. Remembering the strong digimon they had before I did not like our odds. I looked over my shoulder to see our small army once more. Through the crowd I saw Mistymon behind a building, walking in the other direction of the battle field trying to stay hidden. I narrowed my eyes at him but decided that I rather pay attention to the battle.

Many dark figures came into view. As they walked slowly I got out my digivise "Arkadimon. Ultimate level. Special attack: Dot Matrix. Ghoulmon… Mega level… Special attack: Death Arrow. Astamon. Ultimate level. Special attack: … Heck-Fire." I couldn't bring myself to say hell. I was growing shaky with the numbers they came in. They were accompanied by Myotismon and five Cerberumon X while there were four Arkadimon, two Ghoulmon, and three Astamon, making it an even fifteen. We won in number but obviously not power.

I grounded my teeth together with either fear or anger, most likely both.

Myotismon glared at me with hate flaring in his eyes. My furriery matched his. With a snap of his fingers the digimon attacked.

Sorcerymon and Wizardmon raised their staffs together. "Attack!"

While the digimon ran past them Sorcerymon caught his brother as he fell. "Brother! Do you need any help?"

Wizardmon pushed him away. "No… Just give me time…"

Sorcerymon nodded and looked around. "Where is father? We need his help."

I nodded knowing what I had to do to help. Rather I liked it or not Mistymon could really help us. I looked up at Sorcerymon. "I'll find him. You two try your best out there."

The two nodded their heads "Right. Thank you. Good luck." They headed toward the battle as I accompanied by Calumon ran towards the direction Mistymon flied.

"You too."

I ran through the village unsuccessful to find Mistymon. When I was about to walk to the middle of the, towards the statue I felt a shiver run down my spine. I heard talking in the distance. I grabbed Calumon and ran to a side of a building to see who was talking. What I saw shocked me.

"Please just take the orb. Leave my village alone." The voice belonged to Mistymon.

"You won't regret this." My eyes went wide when I realized that Mistymon was talking to Myotismon.

"Stop right there!"

The four of us looked back and saw Sorcerymon and Wizardmon running towards the two.

"Don't you place a hand on that orb!"

Myotismon's face twisted with rage. He faced Mistymon. "Mistymon, what is this!" He demanded.

"I have no idea!" He said in a hectic voice. He faced his sons. "Please my sons leave."

Their eyes went wide. "B-But father..." Sorcerymon finally spitted out.

He looked away sorrowful.

Myotismon glared at him. "What are you waiting for! Hand me the orb!"

Mistymon slowly reached for the orb.

"Don't do it!" I could not help but to shout.

The four looked at me with shock. I saw Myotismon smirk.

"The second he gets the orb he's going to destroy this town!" I shouted.

Myotismon faced Mistymon. "Don't pay attention to her. Hand me the orb!" He demanded. He turned around and faced me. "You're lucky that my mission is to retrieve the orb."

I grounded my teeth together.

Mistymon slowly grabbed the orb and handed it to Myotismon. The second he did the sky turned to more black than before.

"Father how could you!" Sorcerymon asked in horror shock.

"You do not understand my son! I am protecting out village!" He turned to Myotismon. "There you have our orb. Now leave our village!"

"You will not regret this." An evil smile came across his face.

"Watch out Mistymon!" I screamed.

"Father!" I heard Wizardmon and Sorcerymon from behind me.

Mistymon looked at us with a confused face. With his head turned Myotismon placed a hand on Mistymon's chest. I closed my eyes unable to watch what was about to happen. I felt Calumon shaking in my arms doing the same.

All I heard was: "Grisly Wing!" followed by a painful scream. I opened my eyes when I thought it was over.

Where Mistymon once stood was now empty.

I looked over towards Sorcerymon and Wizardmon.

"Father!" Sorcerymon screamed. He began to charge at Myotismon, but Wizardmon held him. "No! Let me go!" he struggled.

"Brother! No!"

Sorcerymon struggled harder.

Tears ran down my cheek. Calumon was trembling in my arms. I faced Myotismon.

He made an evil smile and laugh to match. In an instant he vanished in his cape, orb in hand. Suddenly Clockmon and the others ran behind the two brothers. Wizardmon released Sorcerymon as he fell to his knees.

"Father…betrayed us…" He murmured to himself.

"He only did what he thought would protect our village." Wizardmon said in a reassuring tone. He too fell to his knees and held his brother with his arms around him. Lynxmon let out a loud, echoing howl as everyone took a moment of silence.

As they did I walked away from the scene, not wanting to relive my pain. I held Calumon close trying to calm him down. He was whimpering from the shock. I did not know what to say or do. I just found a tree close by, curled into a ball with Calumon still in arms, and we both slowly drifted to a troubled sleep.
