Woot~ Time for questions~
Question 1: Beelzemon would you rather a) have the last chapter go as it did, b) have Makuramon suffer a fate worse than death, or c) have him bring back every Digimon that died during the story?
Beelzemon: Huh, good question… It'd be nice ta have everyone back that died, but ta have him bring them back, he would've had to still be alive. And if he stayed alive, there's no sayin' he won't kill 'em again. Heh, probably should've had him suffer that fate worse than death (whatever it'd be), but we just wanted to get rid of him.
Question 2: Are we going to see a certain dark knight Digimon in the future seeing that the group has the Digimon needed to form him?
Me: Uh… I'm ashamed to say that… I have
no idea what you're talking about… Can someone please tell me what is meant by that…? Please?

Disclaimer: I own the human characters, this version of the Digital World, the Academy (which we haven't seen in a while…), and the plot. I do not, however, own the Digimon themselves.

"Do you feel better now?" Tsukiko asked Chiharu. They'd just destroyed Makuramon, who had been the cause of a lot of their suffering. His destruction must have lifted a lot of the weight off her shoulders. Now, there was no way that annoying monkey could get in their way.

"A little," Chiharu said with a smile. She was still mourning the losses they'd suffered, but knowing that their killer had been put to justice offered her some comfort. "Now, all we have to do is get rid of Apocalymon, and then everything will be fine."

"But we have to find the castle, first," Hideaki pointed out.

"And how the heck are we supposed to find it?" BlackWarGreymon added.

"Easy," the leader replied. "We find its guard."

"What do you mean?" Lilamon asked, but Mayu seemed to be catching what the goggle-head was trying to say.

"She means that they wouldn't leave it unguarded," the blonde spoke up. "And we still haven't run into Majiramon."

"Not since he took Makuramon for a little ride, getting Pajiramon and Vajramon's Eggs," Beelzemon muttered.

Mayu continued like he hadn't interrupted. "He's probably the one protecting the castle. We find Majiramon, we find the castle." She looked at Chiharu. "That's what you were thinking, right?"

"Exactly," the brunette said, and then grinned. "Looks like not all blondes are as dumb as rocks." Mayu jokingly punched her in the arm. The two had gone through a unique change throughout their journey. First, they were enemies, who then slowly grew into tolerable acquaintances. Now, they seemed to be very close friends.

"How fitting," Lucemon mused. "A dragon guarding a castle."

"Cliché, much?" Lilamon asked. Everyone laughed.

"So, now we just have to search the entire Digital World for a single Digimon? That shouldn't be too hard…" Hideaki muttered sarcastically.

"If we could only split up to cover more ground," ShadowWereGarurumon suggested. "But that wouldn't be a good idea, since we shouldn't face him alone."

"Wait, I think you're onto something there," Chiharu said. She pulled out her D-Agent and fiddled with it for a moment. After she was done, there was what looked like a map with six dots. One was red, while the others were blue. "I knew there'd be something like this here," she said with a smile. "Okay, so the red dot, that's my Digivice. The rest are probably yours. Of course, on your D-Agent, your location will probably be the one in red. Anyway, remember back when Hiroshi called me?"

"Oh, believe me, we do," Beelzemon teased, but his partner decided to ignore that for the time being.

"He told me how to call another Digivice. We'll split up, but keep in contact with each other. When one of us sees Majiramon, call the rest of us, and we'll meet whoever it is at their location. Got it?"

"Got it."

"Alright, let's go!"

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Hideaki and BlackWarGreymon had taken the north, to look near the Valley of Ebonwumon. Before they'd all split up, there'd been a theory tossed out that maybe the castle was by one of the Sovereign domains, so they decided to search there.

"Do you think we'll find it here?" BlackWarGreymon asked his human partner.

"I don't know," the boy admitted. "But it's worth a try. We didn't stay here very long, so maybe there's something we missed."

"And, maybe the Digimon of that market know something else about the castle. We can ask them," the Mega added.

"It's worth a shot."

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Tsukiko and ShadowWereGarurumon to the Forest of Baihumon. They knew that it would be especially hard for Chiharu to try to go to, so she volunteered to go instead.

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" ShadowWereGarurumon asked.

"I've dealt with a lot of loss in my life," the girl said with a shrug. "I've learned how to deal. What about you? Will you be okay?"

"I think so," the Ultimate replied as they neared the Forest. "Of course, we'll never know until we get there."

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Satoru and Lilamon went to the Volcano. The had doubted that a castle would be in a place that hot, but then again, it could be there for that very reason. People would immediately suspect that nothing of value was there, so it would be the perfect place to hide a castle from prying eyes.

"Maybe we should have let one of the others take the Volcano," Lilamon mused as they headed on their way. "I might end up burning up!"

"Oh, right… you're a plant…" Satoru said, realizing that their coming to Volcano might have indeed been a bad idea. But it was too late to turn back now. They'd split up about two hour ago, and even if they went back, no one would be there to switch with them. It would take them weeks to get to each place, since the Digital World was so vast.

"I can't believe we're spreading ourselves this thin across the world," Lilamon commented. "I mean, when one of us finds Majiramon or the castle, we'd still have to wait at least two or three weeks for everyone else to get there."

"We'd figure out a way," Satoru assured his partner. Then he saw a large yellow Digimon a little ways away. He started walking toward it, pulling out his D-Agent to look it up. "Hououmon," he read. "Mega Level. Attacks: Star-Light Explosion and Crimson Flame."

"What are you doing?" Lilamon asked, following the boy.

"Figuring out a way," he answered simply. When they reached the large Digimon, it looked them over with a big blue eye.

"Yes?" it asked. "Is there something you need?"

"We were wondering," Satoru started, "if you might be able to take us to the Volcano of Zhuqiaomon?"

"Why do you wish to go there?" it asked. "I heard that the Digi-Destined had already defeated Indramon, its guardian."

"We did," Lilamon answered, "but now we're looking for Apocalymon's castle. We heard that it's hidden behind a barrier, so we, along with the rest of the Digi-Destined, are searching the entire Digital World to find it. We decided to check the Volcano, just in case we missed something. We split up so that we could cover more ground, but we're still weeks away from even getting close."

Hououmon looked at the two for a few moments, possibly judging whether or not they were telling the truth. Finally, it nodded. "I will take you to the Volcano of Zhuqiaomon," it said. "Climb on."

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Yuichi and Wizardmon were headed for the Mountain of Azulongmon, which would also take a long time. The young boy had volunteered to take the Mountain for a simple reason: it had been where they met Antylamon, making it a special place for the boy. He'd become close to the rabbit Deva in the short time that they'd known her.

"It's going to take a long time to get to the Mountain," Wizardmon informed his young partner.

"Maybe we can find someone to help us get there faster," he suggested. "A lot of Digimon want to help the Digi-Destined, right?" Wizardmon replied with a nod, and they kept their eyes peeled while they walked for anyone who seemed like they would be able to take the two to the Mountain.

Finally, Wizardmon pointed to a particular Digimon. It was pure white, with a few purple rings here and there. It has large wings, and an eagle's head, though it stood on four legs and its front two were more feline than avian. "That's Hippogriffomon," the Champion told the boy. Wizardmon may not have had as much knowledge of other Digimon as the Digivice did, but he was smart, having retained some knowledge of other Digimon's natures from his past life. "It's typically a feral Digimon, but it can also be very kind."

"Let's hope it decided to be nice today," Yuichi said as they approached the Ultimate.

"Do you need something?" she growled, eying them closely with a blue, cat-like eye.

"We were hoping you could help us," Wizardmon started.

"No," she answered simply.

"But we really need help," Yuichi pleaded.

"I don't care. Find someone else to whine to," Hippogriffomon answered, starting to get angry. She flared her wings, trying to get the two to back off, but the human and his partner stood their ground.

"We need to get to the Mountain of Azulongmon," Wizardmon added. "We're searching for Apocalymon's castle."

The annoyed Digimon paused. "Apocalymon?" she asked, earning a nod from boy and Digimon alike. "What do you want with Apocalymon?" she'd heard of the Digi-Destined, but, being a feral Digimon, she was suspicious by nature.

"We're trying to get rid of him, to bring the peace back," Yuichi said.

Hippogriffomon pondered the boy's words for a moment. "Alright," she finally said. "But you're going to want to hold on."

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Mayu and Lucemon were headed back to the desert that had belonged to the Dex. It wasn't as far as some of the places the others were going, but it would still be at least a few days before they got there.

"I wish there was some way we could get there faster," Mayu muttered. The sooner they checked out the desert, the sooner they'd be able to regroup with at least one of the others, hopefully. She didn't like wandering the Digital World alone with Lucemon. Even though he was a Demon Lord, she didn't feel very safe, it being just the two of them. "Maybe we could find someone to help us."

Lucemon remained silent. He'd been thinking the same thing, but, being the Demon Lord of Pride, he couldn't admit that. But, since it was his partner's idea instead of his own… "That sounds like a smart plan," he told her.

"Now, the question is who…" the blonde trailed off as she looked to the sky. Something was headed for them, and fast. The two backed away and shielded their eyes as something landed about ten feet in front of them, stirring up a lot of wind. When they looked up, they were startled. There was Digimon in front of them that was about the size of a Clydesdale horse. It was a golden color, with black stripes on its flank. Its front legs were like a bird's while the back matched those of a lion. It had large, dark leather wings, and a metal mask over the top half of its face. But that wasn't what the Digi-Destined and her partner were staring at. They were staring at the human that sat on its back.

"Need a lift?" the woman asked.

Mayu nodded dumbly, in shock that there was a human other than the Digi-Destined here in this world.

"Who are you?" Lucemon asked.

"Oh, right. Duh!" the woman smacked herself in the forehead with a laugh. "Sorry. My name's Kyoko Nakayama. I'm pretty sure you're my brother's students, right?"

"You're Nakayama-sensei's sister?" Mayu asked, but she could see the resemblance. Both had blonde hair, which, oddly enough, the both wore in long ponytails, and the same dark blue eyes.

"Yep."

"What are you doing here?" Lucemon asked. "I thought this job was left to us."

"It was," the woman explained. "But Makoto got worried, since you've been gone so long." In response to their blank expressions, she added, "That's my brother's given name. Anyway, like I said, he was worried, and wanted to make sure that you hadn't run into any trouble that you couldn't handle. But, obviously, he's a teacher, so he couldn't come check on you himself. I'm usually on patrol duty, when I'm not substituting over in the States."

"You work in America?" Mayu asked. "But your Japanese is flawless."

"Well, yeah. I was born and raised in Japan. I just went to the States after I graduated. Anyway, not the point. I had some free time, and when Makoto called me and told me he was worried, I decided to check on you, myself. Do you need a ride to wherever you're going?" Kyoko asked.

"Yeah, actually we do," Lucemon admitted.

"We're heading to the desert outside the Forest of Baihumon," Mayu added.

Kyoko raised an eyebrow. "But, isn't that where the Dex are?"

"The children destroyed the Dex, remember?" Gryphonmon asked, rolling his eyes.

"Oh, right," the young woman said with an embarrassed laugh. "I can get you there if you need me to. It's still a few days away, but if we use a Speed card, we should be there within the next couple of hours."

"Sounds like a plan," the blonde Digi-Destined said, taking Kyoko's hand and climbing up on Gryphonmon's back. "Thanks."

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Chiharu and Beelzemon were searching along the coast. Fortunately for them, the factory hadn't been too far from the ocean, so it was a short walk. They were at the beach within fifteen minutes.

"This is gonna take a really long time, ya know that, right?" Beelzemon asked the goggle-head.

She nodded. "But it will take a lot less time than it would, since we all split up. This way, we can cover a lot more ground."

"But it's a lot more dangerous, especially for Yuichi," the Demon Lord of Gluttony pointed out.

Chiharu sighed. Her partner made a good point. "Well, Wizardmon can Digivolve all the way to Mega now, and the kid's pretty good with other Digimon. He'll probably be able to find someone to help him."

"So," Beelzemon said after a moment. "Why did ya think the castle might be near the sea?"

"People wouldn't expect a castle to be somewhere nice and sunny like a beach, so if it's made invisible by a barrier, don't you think it would be the perfect place to hide it?" she asked. Chiharu turned her gaze out to the sea. "Or it could be under the water."

"Under the water?" Beelzemon asked skeptically.

"Well, yeah," his brunette partner replied as though it were obvious. "Think about it. None of the Digimon on our team are aquatic. It would be very hard for us to access, so it would be protected from attack."

She made very valid points.

"Alright," Beelzemon said. "But if you think it might be underwater, how're we supposed ta look?" he asked, also bringing up a good point. Chiharu didn't have an answer to that.

"I believe I can help you with that," a voice said, though neither human nor Digimon could pinpoint its location of origin. That is, until a large splash came from the beach. When the water lowered, they could see a large brown and blue Digimon.

"Whamon," Chiharu read. "Ultimate Level. Attacks: Tidal Wave and Jet Arrow."

"That's me," the giant Digimon said with a chuckle. "I couldn't help but overhear that you need some way to search the ocean?"

"Yeah," the brunette replied.

To their surprise, Whamon opened his mouth. "Hop in," he told them.

"You're going to eat us?" Chiharu asked. "How's that going to help us search the ocean?" Whamon laughed again.

"The inside of Whamon is hollow," Beelzemon said, remembering. "If we go in, we'll be fine."

"But how are we supposed to…? Oh, nevermind," the girl said, heading toward the big whale Digimon.

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Hideaki had had enough with the walking, considering that they were still weeks away from the Valley. "Digital Enhancement. Speed: Connect!"

BlackWarGreymon picked up his partner, and they reached the Valley of Ebonwumon in a matter of hours.

As soon as they entered the market, many Digimon surrounded them. Hideaki was able to recognize them from last time.

"You're back," Apemon observed. "But why are you the only one? Where are the others?"

"We split up," the human explained. "We're looking for Apocalymon's castle, but we have no idea where it is, so we thought we could cover more ground if we split up."

"I see," the yellow-furred Champion said.

"I'm not sure if we'll be much help," Shadramon said, "but we will try. I heard there were some suspicious things happening near the Mountain of Azulongmon."

Hideaki and BlackWarGreymon sent each other nervous glances.

"Yuichi!"

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

"Digital Enhancement. Digivolve: Connect!"

"ShadowWereGarurumon Digivolve to… BlackMetalGarurumon!" The Mega looked at his partner blankly as she climbed onto his back. "Did you really Digivolve me just so you could get a ride?"

"Hey," Tsukiko said, shrugging. "Now you can fly, so we'll get there a lot faster."

He hated that she had a point. "Alright." He released his wings and took flight. They reached the Forest quickly.

After Tsukiko dismounted her partner, they walked around, hoping to find any sign of a castle hidden among the trees, or of Majiramon. Instead, they found something a bit different.

"Hello," a small, cream-colored Digimon said, looking up at the human and her Mega partner. "My name is Salamon. Are you looking for something?"

"Yeah, actually," BlackMetalGarurumon told the small Digimon. "Is there a castle anywhere around here?"

The Rookie giggled. "Oh, no, nothing like that."

"Do you know anything about Apocalymon's castle?" Tsukiko asked.

Salamon bristled at the name. "It's nowhere near here," she said softly, "but I've heard rumors that it's hidden somewhere in the Mountain of Azulongmon.

Tsukiko and BlackMetalGarurumon's eyes widened. That was where they'd sent their youngest member and his Champion partner.

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

"It's going to take forever to get to the Volcano," Lilamon muttered. They still couldn't even see it.

Satoru's D-Agent started beeping, and he pressed a button. "Yeah?"

"We've got a problem," Tsukiko's voice said.

"What's that? Have you found the castle?" the purple haired boy asked.

"No, but I was told about a rumor that it's in the Mountain of Azulongmon. Hurry and get there, or we might be too late!"

Satoru gulped. There was no way they'd be able to make it in time. But their saving grace came in the form of a long white Digimon that flew toward them.

"Hey!" Lilamon called up to it. "Can you help us?"

The Digimon came around and landed. It was very large, and white with red and yellow rings. It had green hair-like scales on its head, and large ears that also seemed to be wings.

"Queztalmon, Armor Level," Satoru read. "Attacks: Freezing Wave, Fossil Wave, and Toltec Wind."

"What do you need?" she asked kindly.

"Can you give us a ride?" Lilamon asked. "We need to make it to the Mountain of Azulongmon, fast."

The long Digimon nodded. "Alright. I'm willing to help a Digi-Destined. Hop on."

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Mayu had used the Speed card for Lucemon as well, so that he could keep up with Gryphonmon. Her D-Agent beeped.

"Yeah?" she answered it.

"We have a problem," Hideaki said from the other side.

"What's that?" Mayu asked, causing Kyoko to look at the younger girl over her shoulder.

"There's a rumor going around in the Digital World that the castle is hidden somewhere in the Mountain of Azulongmon," Hideaki told her. "I already talked to Tsukiko, and she let Satoru know. We're all headed there right now. I just hope we get there in time. Let Chiharu know, alright?"

"Got it," Mayu said, and then cut the connection.

"What did he mean, 'get there in time'?" Kyoko asked, a bit curious, and slightly worried.

"When we split up, some of the others went to the Sovereign's domains. We had Yuichi, the youngest of all of us, head for the Mountain. It's just him and Wizardmon there right now," Mayu answered.

"Along with whatever may be lying in wait for us," Lucemon muttered darkly.

Kyoko's face hardened. "Hear that, Gryphonmon? Let's go." And with that, the Mega made a sharp about-face heading for the Mountain.

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

"This is so cool!" Chiharu exclaimed. She was currently sitting inside Whamon, and her D-Agent had somehow connected with his visual data, giving her a holographic image of exactly what Whamon was seeing.

"Yeah, yeah," Beelzemon said, rolling his eyes. "Concentrate on lookin'."

"Party pooper," she muttered jokingly. Beelzemon couldn't help but crack a smile. His partner had been so depressed for a long time, it was nice to see her smile and joke like this. Especially because they would be facing Apocalymon soon, and possibly even it. He shuddered at the thought. There was no way they could fight it, at least not and win, anyway.

Chiharu noticed his sudden change in attitude. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked, but before he could answer, her D-Agent beeped.

"What's up? Has anyone found anything?"

"Bad news," Mayu said. "We think it's on the Mountain of Azulongmon."

"Well, that's great, now we know where it—Yuichi!" she realized, her good mood immediately gone. "We're on our way." She hung up. "Hey, Whamon?" she asked.

"What?" he asked, his voice reverberating across his hollow inside.

"How close is the ocean to the Mountain of Azulongmon?" she asked.

"Not that far. Within walking distance. I can take you as close as possible in the water," he offered, getting a confirmation from the Demon Lord. "Alright, then, hold on!" he said as he doubled, and then tripled his original speed.

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Yuichi and Wizardmon, oblivious to their current danger, were walking up the Mountain, having been dropped off by Hippogriffomon, keeping their eyes peeled for any sort of danger. After a while, Yuichi pointed. "Look!" he said. "I see something!"

Wizardmon, recognizing the thing his partner had pointed at as Majiramon, pulled the boy behind a large rock. "Contact the others," he advised. "Let's not do anything until they get here."

"Right," the black haired kid said, about to pull out his Digivice to call one of the others when he saw something in the distance. As it came closer, he recognized it as BlackWarGreymon carrying Hideaki. He waved his arms to grab their attention. They landed softly.

"I contacted the others," Hideaki told the two. "They'll be here in a little bit." Very shortly after, Satoru and Lilamon arrived, riding a long white Digimon.

"Thank you, Queztalmon!" Satoru called, waving as the Digimon flew off.

Tsukiko arrived, followed by Mayu, who introduced Kyoko.

"I didn't know Nakayama-sensei had a sister," Lilamon said.

"He doesn't talk about me?" the blonde woman asked, pretending to be insulted. She laughed. "He's probably too busy with his job. Even though he doesn't seem to take it seriously."

The five present children looked at each other for a moment. Nakayama took his job a lot more seriously than his sister thought. They'd seen that when Makuramon and Kumbhiramon had broken through to the Real World. They'd never seen him so serious, or so angry before.

"I'm here!" Chiharu said as she ran over. She realized that everyone else was already there, and couldn't figure out how everyone else had gotten there before her. Especially Tsukiko, who'd been on the other side of the Digital World. It must have been the Speed card, she thought.

"Why are you soaking wet?" Mayu asked. It was true, Chiharu and Beelzemon were still dripping.

"We were inside a giant whale," Beelzemon said, and that was the only explanation given.

"Hi, I'm Kyoko Nakayama," Kyoko introduced herself. "You must be Chiharu. Makoto talks about you all the time. He has a lot of faith in you. All of you, actually. I came here to make sure you were all okay, considering that you've been gone so long, and Makoto's been worried out of his mind. She looked back at Gryphonmon. "Well, we'd better get going."

"Wait," Chiharu said. "Maybe you can help us."

Their teacher's sister simply shook her head. "Sorry," she said, "but this is your job, not mine. Besides, we might be able to help against a Deva, but we're no match for what's inside the castle." She smiled softly. "I'll just go home and tell everyone that you're all okay. Goodbye, everyone! It was nice meeting you!" And with that, she got up on Gryphonmon's back and took to the sky. The group waved goodbye.

"Alright," Chiharu said, approaching Majiramon. "Time to face the music."

"You!" Majiramon yelled, seeing the children and their partners. "You will not get past this point!"

"Him bein' here can only mean one thing!" Beelzemon said.

"Apocalymon must be beyond this point!" Lucemon hissed.

"I feel like this is some lame video game script…" Hideaki muttered, getting a few nods of agreement.

"If we defeat Majiramon," Chiharu started, "the barrier might be brought down, and we'll be able to get into the castle!"

"Alright, let's do this!" Tsukiko said with a grin.

"Digital Enhancement. Digivolve: Connect!"

"Lilamon Digivolve to… Rosemon!"

"Digital Enhancement. Warp Digivolve: Connect!"

"Wizardmon Warp Digivolve to… Pharaohmon!"

"Beelzemon, what're we looking at here?" Chiharu asked her partner.

"His attack is Flaming Arrowhead."

"Okay, that doesn't sound too bad," Mayu commented. After all, with four regular Megas and two Demon Lords, this was going to be cakewalk.

"Flaming Arrowhead!" Majiramon yelled, determined to defeat these children. He was the last Deva left standing, as well and the guardian of the castle. If he was destroyed, there would be nothing stopping these children from entering the castle and thwarting their plans.

The group was surprised to see 108 arrows of light heading their way.

"You could have told us there would be this many!" Rosemon yelled, dodging out of the way of every arrow near her.

BlackWarGreymon protected his partner with his shield, but there were so many arrows headed their way that there was no way he'd be able to block all of them. Chiharu raised her D-Agent.

"Digital Enhancement. Blast Mode: Connect!" Once her partner was in Blast Mode, she said, "Try firing at the arrows. If you can take some of them out, it won't be as hard to dodge them."

"Got it. Corona Blaster!" the enhanced Mega yelled, firing at all the nearby arrows. While they'd been distracted, they hadn't seen Majiramon getting closer until it was almost too late.

"Rose Spear!" Rosemon yelled, letting her whip extend and wrap around the dragon Deva's neck, stopping him in his tracks.

"Blizzard Wolf Claw!"

"Terra Force!"

"Corona Blaster!"

"Grand Cross!"

"Fist of Nile!"

Having suffered all the attacks at once, and being unable to dodge, Majiramon was destroyed instantly. As soon as he was gone, something faded into view.

"Hey, you can see the castle now!" Tsukiko yelled as the transparent structure became fully visible.

"Let's get going, then!" Chiharu said, starting to head for the castle, but Beelzemon caught her arm and shook his head. "What?"

The two Demon Lords gave each other a look, a look that seemed to decide something very important. "Not yet," Lucemon said. "There's something you must know, first."

"We gotta fill you in on the whole story," Beelzemon said. It was quite possible that they would be too late to stop the Master from coming back, because they'd taken so long. They had to prepare the children for what they were about to face.

Next time:
Lucemon: It started a very long time ago.
Beelzemon: This stuff was a secret for a long time. That's why it was never in the history books or anything.
Lucemon: But you need to know what went on all those years ago.
Beelzemon: That way, maybe you can do what we couldn't.
Lucemon: Maybe you can stop him once and for all.

Who is the mysterious Master? What happened all those years ago? If the Demon Lords never killed the Sovereigns, as Beelzemon's been say, what really happened to them? All will be revealed, next time~

Anyway, this chapter was a bit fun to write. I realize that the fight scene was REALLY short (as just about all of mine are…), but I actually wrote that today, and I'm kind of busy today, so I had to write it fast. Putting Nakayama's sister in there was a last minute decision, but I remembered how long it took everyone to get from place to place, and Mayu needed a ride, since I doubt Lucemon would be able to carry her for as long as they'd be traveling. Actually, I think of lot of this chapter involved last minute decisions, but I think it came out at least fairly decent.

So, again: Reviews/Questions, Covers, and Poll. Til next time~ Tootles~
