Impmon: Damn it! We need to get rid of this writter's block
J.T.: Yeah, but that's why Omega's going to put this story on hold until at least the 1st of March, 2013 after this chapter
Takato: Don't worry people, we'll come back as soon as the month's over
Guilmon: OmegaInferno only owns his OCs
Chapter 9: The lair of the Sovereigns
"Okay, so one question now, how do we get there?" J.T. asked.
"Well, we could try the traveling lights," Val suggested.
"No, that's too trial and error, we need a more straight forward way," Henry thought.
"Then what do you suggest?" Rika asked.
"We could try finding Omnimon again," Takato reminded.
"No, back tracking would slow us down, maybe there is someone else we can find," J.T. answered. All six tamers started thinking, but no one seemed to think of any other ideas, "You know what, let's just head down this road and see where it takes us."
"I second that motion," Impmon agreed.
"It's not like anyone has a better idea," takato shrugged as the group moved down the road. They travelled for what seemed like hours, until they reached a fork in the path.
"Well this can't be good," J.T. mused, as he stared at the two signs, one pointing to a peaceful meadow and saying, danger. The other pointing to a dark cave, the words saying, Ghost Chiller Cavern.
"Okay, so one is dangerous, and the other isn't," Ali spoke up, "What's not so good?"
"The fact that a meadow is dangerous, look at it, nothing's even happening, and a cave with that name doesn't sound too friendly," J.T. replied.
"Well, maybe we should split up," Impmon suggested.
"I don't know, we just got back together," Henry argued.
"That's where the supplies that we got from the Geckmon Village a while back comes in handy, they gave us a rope too, we'll just give the rope for the people heading into the cave, two tamers and their partners go into the cave, while two go into the meadow," Takato spoke up, as he pulled the rope out of his pack.
"Takato, let's try the cave," Guilmon grinned.
"We'll go with you guys," Impmon volunteered him and his partner for the cave.
"Val, you want to go check out the meadow?" Henry asked the American.
"I don't see why not, come on, Agumon," Val grinned.
Agumon trotted beside the two boys, next to Terriermon, "Right behind you buddy!"
"I'll hold on to the rope for the cave," Ali volunteered, as Rika offered to watch out for the others in the meadow. As soon as everything was settled, the group set off on their ways. When J.T., Takato, and their partners entered the cave, nothing seemed to creepy or out of the ordinary for a cave, but it did smell of rotting flesh. THe meadow on the other hand, as sooon as the four entered it, nothing seemed right, nothing was moving among the grass and nothing was in the sky.
"Something doesn't feel right," Val couldn't help but notice the stillness of the meadow.
"I know what you mean, there should be at least some sort of digimon running around, but this place is completely still," Henry mused. Just then, he noticed a flashing light in the distance, "Hey, do you see that?"
Val turned his head to where Henry was pointing and saw the blinking light also, "Yeah, I do," Val agreed, he then reached down and picked up a rock, "Well, just so we're a safe distance away..." Val then chucks the rock down the field and it lands straight on the light.
The group waited a second, but nothing happened, Terriermon then thought it was time for a comment, "Well, at least you-" the light then made a weird chirping noise and created a large explosion.
"Uh... guys? Do you know what we are in?" Agumon asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yeah, deep trouble," Val gulped as he surveyed for more mines.
"I was going to say minefield, but that works too," Terriermon grinned.
"We don't have time for your jokes right now," Henry scolded the rabbit.
"Momentai, we'll be fine, we just head back the way we came!" Terriermon assured the others.
"Yeah, he's right," Val agreed. The four made their way back to the girls and sighed in disappointment, "Well, I guess we go through the scary sounding cave..."
"Look on the bright side, the other two have been in there for a few minutes, and nothing seems to have happened to them," Ali reminded.
"Yeah, get over it you weenies," Rika agreed.
"Did you just call us weenies?" Val asked.
"Just get in that cave," Rika groaned. The others growled an unaudible response and stomped in the cave with the girls following.
"So I take it the meadow is dangerous," Impmon chuckled.
"Yeah, who puts landmines in a peaceful meadow?" Agumon asked in annoyance.
J.T. laughed at the thought of the four stuck in the landmine infested plains, "Maybe that's why it's so peaceful, with explosive doom everywhere, no one in their right mind would walk in there, and if they did... KABLOOWEE!"
"Damn! Don't yell so loud, it hurts my ears," Impmon complained, earning him a soft apology from J.T. The group travelled in the cavern for some time, before seeing a dim, redish light at the end.
"That can't be the end, could it? I mean the sky seems red," Val asked.
"Oh that's it, welcome to the Land of the Sovereigns," Takato grinned, "Now maybe we can get some answers."
"Wait, but the Sovereigns don't know the identity of who the evil is," J.T. reminded the other boy.
"Yeah, but maybe they know where Fanglongmon is," Takato explained, "and if we can find him, then we get answers."
"That's not a bad idea, Takato," Henry complimented.
"Thanks, I thought about it ever since we met with Omnimon," takto grinned as he rubbed the back of his head.
Guilmon sniffed at the air and a smile spread across his face, "I smell them, they're over there!" Guilmon pointed with his claw towards where the group was facing.
"Sweet! Let's get rolling!" J.T. cheered.
"Right!" Impmon agreed as the two started marching ahead of the rest. The group made it to the location of the four beasts.
"Hey Zhuqiaomon, your favorite little digimon's back," the giant tortoise, Ebonwumon chuckled when he noticed the humans and digimon approached.
Zhuqiaomon the phoenix sneered, but remained calm, "What have you came here for?"
"My Sovereign, an Omnimon warned us that a great evil that even you four fear is coming back," Impmon warned, "He told us to seek out Fanglongmon, for he knows where to find this enemy."
"That's impossible, Fanglongmon can not tell you anything,at least not now," the blue dragon, Azulongmon explained.
"Why not?" Guilmon asked in confusion.
"He sealed himself away with the enemy a long time ago, finding them would be only a matter of time, freeing him though..." the tiger Baihumon explained.
"the point is, they're both sealed away and you have no reason being here," Zhuqiaomon growled, "Now be gone."
"Wait Zhuqiaomon, maybe something is happening, children do you have the gold cards?" Azulongmon questioned.
"Yes, that's why Omnimon sent us here," J.T. answered as they all pull out their cards.
"Dear Drasil, it is true," Baihumon gasped.
"Azulongmon, take them to him," Ebonwumon ordered.
"Of course," Azulongmon replied, "follow me children," the group followed Azulongmon to a small cave, barely big enough for the tamers, "Down this cave, you will find the sealed area if Fanglongmon has summoned you in some way, maybe he can tell you what is happening."
"Well, I guess we're on our own from here," Impmon sighed. The twelve travelled into the small and slim corridor, until they came to a large room, with a giant glyph on the wall.
J.T. looked at the giant carving and gasped, it depicted to beings about to fight each other, one being a giant four legged dragon, the other was severely faded out, but below it, the text read, "The Arkadian Monster."
"Is that?" Rika started.
"Yes, that's Fanglongmon," Lunamon finished.
"He's huge," Henry commented, "but what is the other one?"
"I wish I could tell you, but what ever it is, it isn't something we want to run into in a dark alley," Impmon commented.
"Ain't that the truth," J.T. agreed.
Guilmon suddenly dialates his pupils and starts growling to a dark corner in the chamber, Renamon and Terriermon notice also and get ready for a fight. What happened next, no one expected, Ai, Mako, and Jeri walked out of the corner, all three looked dirty, tired, and scared.
"Jeri!" Takato shouted as he rushed to her, but was stopped as two more figures appeared from the shadows.
"I would leave her alone if I were you, boy," Keramon giggled as he made his way in front of the three with Grademon, "She is here to bring back our master."
"If you dare to interfere, I will be more than happy to relieve you of this world," Grademon threatened, "So I suggest you just sit back and enjoy the show."
"Takato! Help!" Jeri shouted in desperation.
"Shut up, bitch!" Keramon shouted back, "You know what Grademon, we don't need the brats any more, just toss them to the others, they'll be dealt with soon enough."
"You heard him, get going or else," Grademon warned as the two kids ran to the others.
"Now Jeri, my dear, would you please point your device to the enscryption?" Keramon smiled politely, Jeri slowly pulled out her D-Arc and pointed it towards the other creature on the wall. her digivice then shot a straight beam of white light to the rock. The chamber started shaking, causing rocks to fall from the ceiling of the cave.
"Grademon, it is smooth sailing from here," Keramon laughed maniacly.
