Chapter 9
"So why do they want Lucas more then they want Emma?" Koji said when everyone had gathered in the throne room.
Emma had calmed down enough to turn back to her human form.
Ophanimon shook her head. "I don't know."
"Light and darkness." Kirsty muttered under her breathe.
"What was that?" Takuya asked.
Kirsty looked up and said. "Ophanimon do you remember when the Royal Knights first came to the castle they said that Emma and Lucas were both evil and good."
Ophanimon nodded.
"You don't really believe that do you?" Takuya said.
Kirsty nodded. "Yes I do."
"So what you're saying is that I'm the light and Lucas is the darkness." Emma said. "And that I have to stop him."
Kirsty sighed and nodded. "Yes I'm afraid that it's true."
"I'll do it."
"Sweetheart we aren't asking anything from you." Ophanimon said.
Emma nodded. "I know. But Lucemon must be stopped."
Kirsty turned to Takuya. "When do we leave?"
"Right away."
Takuya, Koji, J.P, Zoe, Tommy, Koichi, Kirsty and Emma walked outside and shifted into their Digi Spirits and made their way to the Dark Mountains.
"Be careful." Ophanimon said.
"We will." Angelmon said.
"I see the mountains." Kazemon said.
Agunimon nodded. "Yes we are close."
Fairymon clutched her chest and closed her eyes tightly. "What is this feeling I have? I…. I feel terrible inside."
"The mountains can do that to you." Lobomon said. "You just have to do your best to ignore it."
Fairymon shook her head. "No it's not the mountain that's doing this to me. Something terrible has happened to Lucas. I can feel it."
"Then let's get to him." Angelmon said.
"You're not going anywhere." Came a voice.
They turned to see the Royal Knights behind them.
"What do you want?" Kumamon said.
"We are here to stop you." Alphamon said.
"Angelmon shift into your Beast Spirit and use Spike Destroyer on the Royal Knights." Agunimon said. "We cannot waste any more time here. We have to get past them."
"Will that work?" Fairymon asked.
Angelmon nodded. "When I use Spike Destroyer it destroys anything that is evil that's close enough."
Angelmon shifted into SpikeAngelmon.
Fairymon almost gasped in shock when she saw her mother shifting into her Beast Spirit.
Agunimon hugged her. "I know. She's scary when she's in her Beast Spirit. But you do get used to it."
"I don't think I could ever get used to that?" Fairymon said. "Why does she look so scary? Why is she so different from her Digi Spirit?"
"Because SpikeAngelmon is the Warrior of War and Violence and Angelmon is the Warrior of Love and Power. They are both total opposites of each other. You don't have to be afraid of her. We've tamed her through the years."
"Tamed her?" Fairymon asked as she frowned.
Agunimon shook his head. "Long story. I'll tell you about it later when this is all over."
SpikeAngelmon raised her hands and yelled. "Spike Destroyer!"
Spikes came from her hands and hit her targets which blew up on impact.
"There finished. The Royal Knights are no more." SpikeAngelmon said as she changed back into Angelmon.
Agunimon nodded. "Right lets go to the Dark Mountains."
They arrived at Lucemon's lair and walked in.
