Chapter 11: The Search for The Guardian and Surprise, An Ally revealed.

Pov: Mine Digiworld

After we split up into groups, Tai decided it would be best if we went south-east. I of course had to open my big mouth.

"Tai, I think we should head east cause I'm getting a feeling telling me east is the right way to go." I say, hoping he sees it my way.

"Well, I'm the leader and I say south-east would be a better course of action."

"Tai, it's my partner we are trying to find so I say east."

"South-east." My stubborn goggle headed boyfriend states.

"East."

"South-east!"

"East!" I shout, a bit angry.

"Knock it off you two." My best friend and Tai's sister, Kari, says. We stop what we were saying.

"I think we should head east because it is Kelsey's partner, but if her partner is not in the east we will go south-east." Kari, the voice of reason says. We simply nod in response.

We head towards the east, As we walk we run into a group of digimon.

"Halt. State your names and your business." A robotic digimon states in monotone.

"I am Kelsey, the Maiden of Darkness. I'm here with my friends to find my partner." I say a bit shyly.

" Ah, Welcome Maiden of Darkness. I am Andromon, protector of the temple." Andromon states.

"Thank you, Andromon. Do you know if anyone stopped by this area in search of my partner?"

"Your welcome. A digimon named Datamon did come here and ask for the Guardian."

Tai speaks up and asks," Who is the Guardian?"

"Before I tell you please follow me." Andromon tells Tai. We follow Andromon to a village lit by torches. He leads us to this huge hut in the center of the village.

"You may enter, Andromon." A deep, whispery voice said. Andromon leads us into a hut lit by a dozen torches with gold and silver fire. Through a thin flimsy curtain of aquamarine silk, a shadowy figure says," So you have finally arrived, young chosen maiden. I have been hoping you would have come a bit sooner, but it doesn't matter because you are here." Tai glares daggers at the shadow and steps protectively in front of me, T.K. and Kari gasp in shock.

"Who are you?" I ask, a bit terrified.

"I am the one chosen to protect the guardian's secret." the voice says.

"Just what is the Guardian and what does he have to do with my partner?" I ask.

"Please have a seat so I can explain."

"Ok." Tai, T.K., Kari, and I sit down on deep blue velvet pillows.

"Long ago, There was a terrible war between the beast digimon and the human digimon. An angel bearing the Mark of the Hazard appeared and the war stopped, in turn he became the protector of this world. A 100 years later, something terrible happened to him, he got corrupted by the power he had. The legendary warriors stopped him. 1,000 years passed and the celestial three appeared, they kept this world in peace for a long time. One of them purified the Angel's data and sealed it away here in this temple. Legend says, that the angel will be partnered to the Maiden of Darkness. We know that she must awaken Lucemon from his slumber in order to save this world."

" You mean to tell me my partner is an angel?" I say in shock.

"Yes, Lucemon is your partner. Now hurry, you have to free him!" the old digimon says. I sprint after the digimon. I hear Tai, Kari, and T.K. following from behind. 'I hope my partner is safe.'

After what seems like an eternity, we come to the main room of the temple. In the center of the room, a huge golden angel statue sits. On the pedestal a slot in the shape of my digivice holds the secret to this statue. Without thinking it through, I put my digivice in the slot and push it in.

A blinding flash of violet, lavender, and gold light emanates from my digivice and engulfs the statue.

"I am Lucemon, the guardian of the Maiden of Darkness." Lucemon states.

"You're my partner?" I ask in disbelief. Lucemon nods his head. Just as he flies off the pedestal, a dark shadowy figure enters the room with a bang. When I say a bang, I mean there is a hole in the wall where there wasn't one before hand.

"I am Etemon, the King has arrived." an annoying orange monkey states.

"Oh great the orange idiot is back." Tai says sarcastically.

"Hey, punk. I thought you would all be glad I'm back!"

"No!" The group chorused. I almost burst out laughing because it was funny how that idiot thought they would be glad to see them.

"Why are you here Etemon?" my partner, Lucemon asked the orange bimbo.

"I'm here to capture the Maiden of Darkness and you." the wannabe monkey states. Several people in our group sweat drop and I burst out laughing.

"You are so simple minded, Etemon. I swear I met a door with more complexity than you." I state, barely holding back my laughter. Tai and the others laugh so hard tears stream down their faces.

"Hey! You brats always think you're wiser and smarter than me."

"Well cause we are." Tai mutters under his breath. I burst out laughing again.

"You brats are gonna be sorry when I get done with you." Mr. orange bimbo says.

"Alright everyone you better digivolve." Tai says.

"Augumon digivolve to….."

"Gatomon digivolve to….."

"Patamon digivolve to…"

After they say that a blinding light appears. After it disappears a few new digimon are standing where Gatomon, Patamon, and Augumon were standing mere seconds ago.

"Greymon." The huge orange dinosaur states.

"Angewomon." the female angel states.

"Angemon." The male angel states.

"Dark Network!" Etemon shouts and unleashes his attack on the two champions, one rookie, and one ultimate. All the digimon fall to the ground, hard, and are completely drained of their power.

"Not so fast." a cold male voice states. Several of my friends shiver from the harsh tone and Etemon pales a ghastly white.

"What are you doing here you traitor." the orange bimbo says.

"I'm here to protect the Maiden of Darkness and live up to my vow to change. So don't call me a traitor because I'm doing what I believe is right." the voice I now recognize as Devimon coldly states. T.K. just clenches his fist like he's about to punch Devimon in the face.

"Devimon, why are you protecting me?"

"I'm protecting you because that is why I was brought back to life. So really I was spying on the enemy for Azulongmon because he asked me to." He says with a touch of a smile in is tone.

"Thanks Devimon."

"No problem, just don't get yourself killed."

"Touché. I was about to tell you the same thing."

Devimon smiles slightly and says," You know the old saying, great minds think alike." Tai and the others look at us strangely.

"Are you ok Kels?" Tai, asks.

"Yea. Just sharing an inside joke few people understand." I say while blushing. Sometimes guys know what to say to make a girl either embarrassed or something we find sweet.

"Oh, ok."

"Let's kick Etemon's idiotic butt back to the zoo he came from!" Lucemon and I shout at the same time. The rest of the digimon and their partners burst out laughing, like hyenas. Devimon manages a small smile at what we said.

Alright everyone! Use your strongest attacks."

"Heaven's Charm!" Angewomon Exclaims while shooting a pink cross at Etemon.

"Hand of Fate!" Angemon states and an orange beam shoots out of his hand and hits the orange bimbo square in the chest.

"Nova Blast!" Greymon shouts.

"Nightmare Claw!" Devimon calmly states.

"Grand Cross!" Lucemon shouts and a huge golden cross hits Etemon and deletes him on contact.

"I will be back fools!" Etemon shouts as he disincarnates into data.

"Well that was fun." I say sarcastically.

"I wish I could digivolve." Lucemon states, while pouting like a three year old.

"You will one day, Lucemon. Just don't rush it." I say trying to calm him down.

"Your right, I guess only time will tell."

We walk out the chamber with Devimon following close behind, like a shadow following a person on a sunny day.

"Kari u better tell everyone to meet up near the lake that lead to Genni's house." Tai tells his younger sister. Kari nods in response and takes out her D-Terminal. She types so fast her fingers are a blur. As soon as she's done typing, we hear a beeping sound.

"What is that noise?" I ask Kari.

"That's my D-Terminal. It means I got a message." Kari opens her D-Terminal, reads the message, and says, "Yolie, Cody, and Ryo said they'll be there ASAP and that they told the other groups where to meet us."

"Well, I guess some of the others will be shocked to see me, again." Devimon states.

"Why don't you tell them that you're here to help?" I ask.

"It's not that easy. You see I've done a lot of foul deeds before I was reborn, so I think some people still hold that against me. They have every right too."

"Well, even though I wasn't there at the time I forgave you. Right?"

Devimon smiles slightly, "Yeah, you did."

"See. So why won't the others forgive you?"

Devimon sighs and then says," I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of. If you want to know why ask T.K. or his brother."

"Oh."

After I say that we walk, well some of our partners and Devimon fly, through a huge thick connivers forest.

"Br. It's so cold." I state while shivering. Tai walks a tad bit closer to me and wraps his arm around my shoulder.

"Don't worry, Kels. I'll keep you warm." Tai whispers into my ear. I blush I deep crimson.

"Thanks Tai." I whisper back.

After fifteen minutes of walking through that frozen tundra, we reach Genni's house.

"Hey, Devimon why don't you come in with us?" I ask him.

"I will, only cause it will be easier to protect you and Lucemon." Devimon states.

We climb down the never ending stairs and enter Genni's house. Genni looks up from what he was doing and calmly states, "You're late."

"Sorry we're late. We had a bit of a problem." Tai and I state at the same time.

As soon as we said that several head turn in our direction. Matt, Mimi, Sora, Joe, and Izzy gasp in shock.

"What the hell is Devimon doing here?" Matt asks, a little bit pissed off.

"Calm down Matt." Sora says to her boyfriend.

"Well Matt, Devimon is here because he's actually on our side." I state.

After several minutes of explaining about what happened to my group, everyone is stunned into silence.

"Are you saying you found your partner, ran into Etemon, Devimon showed up and helped you guys defeat him?" Izzy sates in utter disbelief.

"That's pretty much what happened." Tai tells the computer genius.

"So the traitor was actually working for Azulongmon this whole time." I smirk before motioning for my general to enter.

"Yes, milady?" The general asks.

"It's time."

"Of course, milady." with that said he leaves my viewing room.

AN: Well I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did typing it. I know some of my readers are glad for this long chapter.

What do you think this plan is?
