Episode 44: The Land of the Sovereigns
After being separated for so long they finally got back together, but now they must split once again thanks to Dexmon. With all of them scattered throughout the biggest continent in the Digital World, what could possibly happen?
THE BEACH NEAR A DIGITAL DESERT, LAND OF THE SOVEREIGNS, DIGITAL WORLD
First they were all together, and now everyone got flushed away from one another due to a giant whirlpool in the Digital Ocean that came out of nowhere. Lucas was laying down on the sandy beach of the new continent and nobody else was in sight. But then, he slowly started to open his eye's and got himself back up to find he was now on the beach with what's left of the raft they were all on.
Lucas: Ow, my head feels like it went through a laundry machine. And I mean the kind that moves in circles. Now, where am I?
He started looking around, but all he could see was sand and more sand. Not to mention the desert in the distance in front of him. But then, he noticed his Digimon partner a little way's from him. Agumon was there motionless as Lucas was a minute ago.
Lucas: (Gasps)... Agumon.
Lucas then headed towards his friend and when he did he got on one knee and started to gently shake him to wake him up.
Lucas: Hey, Agumon. Wake up. Come on, wake up.
Hearing Lucas's voice, Agumon started moving and then he turned on his other side.
Agumon: Five more minutes.
Lucas: I'll give you five minutes before I throw you back in the water. Now wake up.
Now that made Agumon get himself up and rub his eye's.
Agumon: OK OK, no need to be so mean.
Lucas: I only do that to keep you on your toes buddy.
Of course, Agumon had no words for that. Then he started to notice that nobody was around and that they were on the beach. Took him long enough.
Agumon: So... where are we? Where is everyone?
Lucas: I'm not sure, and think we all got separated again.
Agumon: Great, just when we finally found everyone, we split up again. Not to be rude or anything, but we aren't doing well as a team.
Lucas: Come on, will find them. Eventually.
They both then looked ahead of them to see the another Digital Desert in front of them. This one was much bigger and wider then the first one they went through when the left the Grand Master's house.
Lucas: Well, we aren't getting anywhere standing here. Let's keep going forward.
Agumon: You mean right into that Desert?
Agumon pointed at the Desert, and they both saw a ball of digital data pass right by them.
Lucas: Of course were going through the Desert.
Agumon: But what if the other's are still along the beach. Shouldn't we be looking for them a little more before we go somewhere we don't know?
Lucas: Look around Agumon, this is the one place the raft broke apart. Not to mention that whirlpool scattered all of us. I think are best chance of finding everyone is to go into... whatever this place is. And if the other's are here, they might have done the same thing knowing them.
But still, Agumon wasn't to sure about that idea, but it was the only thing they had to go on for now.
Agumon: Well... okay. If you think so.
Lucas: I know so. Have I ever been wrong before?
Agumon: Well...
Lucas: On second thought, don't answer that.
Agumon just started laughing to himself. Lucas knew what he was gonna say about him. Then the two of them started heading off to the Digital Desert in front of them in hopes to find the other's.
Lucas: I just wish I knew where we are.
Agumon: Well if i'm right, and I bet I am, there's only one place this could be.
THE DIGITAL WASTELAND, LAND OF THE SOVEREIGNS, DIGITAL WORLD
Somewhere else in this strange new land of the Digital World, Kyle and Gabumon find themselves in a harsh place. Everything around them was all dead and there were cracks in the ground everywhere. No sign of life and not a trace of anyone for who knows how far.
Kyle: The Land of the Sovereigns?
Gabumon: Yep. At least that's what I think.
Kyle and Gabumon were making their way up a big boulder so that they could get a better visual of the area, but wasn't much for them to see but endless dead ecosystem in this place.
Kyle: Are you sure about that? I kinda thought the Land of the Sovereigns would be a little more... lively then this.
Gabumon: What else could it be? This was the one place we were trying to get to and it might just be the only place we ended up.
Kyle: If that's true, why did we ended here instead of somewhere along the beach line?
Gabumon: It's the Digital World, Kyle. There are so many things here that even I can't understand half the time.
Kyle didn't know how to answer that one, so he just decided to let it be. The two of them then jumped off the boulder and started making their way into the barren Digital Wasteland that awaits them.
Kyle: But what I don't get is; why would the Land of the Sovereigns look so deserted and barren like this?
Gabumon: This might just be one place in this great land of their's. But one thing I do know is, when mankind started ruining the network with their own personal trash...
Kyle: You mean like pop-ups, stupid commercial adds, and all those strange videos. Don't get me started on that.
Gabumon: Exactly. Sometimes stuff like that can damage the Digital World as well. Both worlds are connected to one another after all.
Thinking about it, Gabumon did have a point. The more humans corrupt the network with their own trash, it can cause damage to the Digital World.
Kyle: Wow, I never would have imagined the real effect of all of that. I really feel sorry for all of you Digimon.
Gabumon: It's not your fault, Kyle. Everyone else besides you and your friends don't know about us. Besides, we learned how to adapt and survive better because of this. That's one of the thing's I learned... when I was MetalGarurumon.
And with that said, Kyle gave a smile to his Digimon partner and Gabumon smiled back at his human partner and they continued heading off into the Wasteland. But what troubles await them?
THE DIGITAL FOREST, LAND OF THE SOVEREIGNS, DIGITAL WORLD
In another area of the Land of the Sovereigns, Robert, Kim, Veemon, and Floramon were all passed out on the grassy ground of what seems to be a very thick forest. Far more thick then the forest they previously went through. Veemon was the first to wake up after all of that happened and started rubbing his eye's and also started looking around him.
Veemon: (Yawns)... What ya look at that, a forest. Forest!?
He then got right up and started to shake everyone else so that they could get up.
Veemon: Hey guy's, wake up! Wake up!
With all that screaming and shaking, all three instantly woke and started to notice everything around them. Then all three of them got up off the ground and took an even closer look around them.
Robert: Oh no, not another forest.
Kim: How did we end up here? Weren't we on a raft a little while ago?
Floramon: It must have been that whirlpool. It must have scattered all of us.
Thinking back, that would be the most logical thing to have sent them here.
Kim: That's right, I remember that whirlpool.
Veemon: Me too. That thing just came out of nowhere and sent us all flying.
Robert: But how did we end up in a forest?
Veemon: It's the Digital World. Nothing ever makes sense around here.
Floramon: He's right, not even I understand how it works sometimes.
But Robert just started moving around and taking in all the sights of the forest. But that only seem to make a little disappointed.
Robert: (Sighs)... But did it have to be a forest? I'm getting really tired of forests.
Floramon: Well I happen to like forest.
Kim: Well of course you would, your a plant-type Digimon.
Floramon: That's right.
Kim: But if were all separated again, we should be looking for everyone.
Veemon: Or maybe they started looking for us.
There was a few seconds of silence until all four them agreed on that. Knowing how everyone is, they assumed that was something they would do.
Floramon: Well if their gonna do that, then we might as well do the same thing, right?
Kim: Exactly. If there's one thing I learned from a camping trip I been on; is that to not stay in one place. Or was that the other way around?
Floramon: (Sighs)... Now your starting to sound like Lucas.
Robert and Veemon: (Laughs)...
The two of them couldn't help but laugh at that. That was so true.
Robert: Your right, Floramon. That does sound like something my brother would say. But I hope he and Agumon are okay.
Veemon: Same here.
Floramon: Me too. I hope those two will be okay. I mean, Agumon's strong and all, but I don't if this place might be to much for him to handle.
Kim: You worry to much about him. Those two survived for awhile before we found them, so I bet those two will be fine. Right now we need to get moving and try to at least find someone we know.
With that said, all of them nodded their heads in agreement, and then that set off into the deep new forest around them.
Veemon: By the way, does anyone have any idea where were going?
Kim: You expect me to know that?
Robert: I thought you said you went to camp?
Kim: Well I did, when I was ten and I didn't really pay that much attention at the time.
Floramon: No wonder you and Lucas get along.
Kim: What does that mean?
Floramon: Oh nothing.
Robert and Veemon: (Laughs)...
Wow, Lucas really is rubbing off on Kim. But as they head into a place of uncertainty, what will happen to them next?
SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE DIGITAL DESERT, LAND OF THE SOVEREIGNS, DIGITAL WORLD
Somewhere in the center of the Desert that Lucas and Agumon went in a little while ago, Renamon was looking around on top of a huge rock formation. She was trying to get a good layout of the land, while Emily, Jessica, and Biyomon were looking on the ground for the other's.
Jessica: Hello!? Kyle!? Gabumon!? Anyone!
Emily: Is anyone out there!? Shade!? Monodramon!? Guy's!?
Biyomon was searching as much as she could in the air, but she had no luck so she started flying back down towards Emily and Jessica.
Emily: Did you see anyone, Biyomon?
Biyomon: Sorry, I didn't.
That brought some disappointment to the girl's. Then Renamon jumped back down from that giant rock formation.
Renamon: I couldn't see anyone while I was up there. Sorry.
Jessica: This is bad. They could be anywhere for all we know.
Biyomon: Or they might not be anywhere at all.
Emily: That's not helping, Biyomon.
Biyomon: Sorry again.
Then the four girl's took another look of the area they were in. They were surrounded by many different rock formations and lots of sand blowing around.
Jessica: You know, of all the places's to end up... we had to end up in a Desert.
Renamon: A desert is the least of our problems.
Biyomon: She's right. We need to focus on finding everyone else before we figure out where we are.
Emily: And how do you suppose we do that?
Biyomon: I'm not really sure. I've never been in this Desert before.
Renamon: Neither have I. We could run into some dangerously aggressive Digimon here. We must be careful. As long as we don't separated anymore then we already are, we won't have to much trouble.
Then they looked over at Renamon for saying that.
Emily: What do you mean?
Renamon: It's simple. If we split up now, will be easier targets to be easily out numbered by other Digimon. We can't afford that to happen to any of us.
Jessica: That is so true.
Renamon: If we stay together... will be fine.
But even with that, Emily and Biyomon were still worried about everyone else. They didn't know if they were together or on their own.
Emily: I only hope that the other's are not separated individually. Then they be sitting ducks.
Biyomon: Don't worry, Emily. If their all smart enough, they'll know what to do if that happens. I hope.
Renamon: That's all we can do is search and hope we find at least one of them.
Then they all looked out into the Desert and they had no idea what was out there for them.
Emily: I hope we do find them soon.
Jessica: Relax girl. It's not like they could get themselves into that much trouble despite be separated an all.
Clearly she has no idea how everyone else is like. But then they decided to stop talking about it and started moving to anywhere else besides where they were a minute ago. The question is; what will they find out in the Desert?
THE DIGITAL SNOWFIELD, LAND OF THE SOVEREIGNS, DIGITAL WORLD
Somewhere else in the Land of the Sovereigns, David and Elecmon are trying to make their way up a very big hill while also trying to get through the snow that's covering their feet each time they take a step. For miles they could only see snow, big hills, a couple small mountains, and more snow.
David: Snow. It just had to be snow. Why couldn't we end up somewhere that has... I don't know... less or no snow at all?
Elecmon: Look on the bright side, at least we still have each other to count on.
David: True. I won't argue with that one.
Then the two of them stopped to catch their breath from all that climbing. Of course, each time they were breathing, they could always see the air coming out of their mouths because it was that cold. Elecmon on the other hand was rubbing himself so that he would get warmer.
Elecmon: (Shivering)... I never thought I experience such coldness. I been through a lot of things, but never this.
Then David looked back a cracked a small smile at his partner.
David: You mean the great king of beasts can't handle a little cold air?
Elecmon: I'm surprise your handling this cold weather.
David: When you work out as much as me, your blood is always pumping and making yourself warm. That's how sweat comes out of ya.
Elecmon: I wanna sweater, not sweat.
David: (Laughs)...
David couldn't resist laughing at that one. But once the two of them got to the top of the snowy hill, all they could see was snow as far as the eye could see. Everywhere they looked it was snow, snow, and more snow.
Elecmon: Well, I didn't see this coming.
David: Let's go to the top of the hill he says, we might find a way out of this cold weather he says. That's the last time I ever listen to you.
Elecmon: Since have you ever listen to me?
They both just rolled their eye's at one another and started heading off into the snowfields in front of them.
David: Well, we might as well keep moving. Hopefully will get out of this soon.
Elecmon: I'm more concern about the other's. I hope their okay.
David: I know they'll be fine. I seen them handle anything that happened so far. I'm more concern about us right now.
Elecmon: Can't argue with that one.
With that said, they continued into the land of snow and hope to find a way out of it. But will they be able to handle the cold around them?
THE DIGITAL DESERT, LAND OF THE SOVEREIGNS, DIGITAL WORLD
Back at the Desert, Lucas and Agumon were making their way through, but on top of a big rock formation, a rat looking creature with four long thin legs and a strange looking object on its back was watching them from above.
?: Well well, they finally arrived. But it's only those two. Oh well, better then none at all. Sandiramon!
With the sound of the rat creatures voice, a giant white snake started slithering up behind the rock and then started looking down at him.
Sandiramon: You called, Kumbhiramon.
Kumbhiramon: Yes, I did. Down there is a human and his Digimon pet. You know what must be done.
Sandiramon: (Hissing)... I know. A Digimon with a human is unforgivable. I'll be sure that this one is done for.
With that said, the snake Digimon known as Sandiramon started slithering back down the rock formation and Kumbhiramon then looked back down at Lucas and Agumon. He just had that wicked grin on his face as he watched them head his way.
Kumbhiramon: Humans and Digimon. Blah! I don't know what those Sovereigns were thinking letting the first group get away. But, we, the Deva's, will put and end to that nonsense once and for all. And will start... with those two. (Laughs)...
While he was laughing to himself, Lucas and Agumon kept on moving into the Desert. However, Agumon had a strange feeling that something was wrong.
Agumon: Hmm?
Seeing his partner was on to something again, Lucas stopped to look at him.
Lucas: Is something wrong, Agumon?
Agumon: I'm not sure... but I think something really bad is around here. Somewhere.
But Lucas just started chuckling at Agumon for saying that.
Lucas: (Chuckles)... I think your just a bit tense there buddy. I mean come on, what could it possibly be that we can't handle?
But that was soon answered as Sandiramon, the snake Digimon, appeared right out of nowhere from the rock formation and was heading straight for Lucas.
Sandiramon: HAAAAAAAA!
Lucas: (Gasps)...
Agumon: Lucas, look out!
At that one moment, Lucas manage to move out of the way in time before that giant snake could take a huge bite out of him. Agumon then ran to the front of his human partner and assumed his protection stance.
Lucas: (Heavy breathing)... What... is that!?
Agumon: Nothing friendly by the looks of it.
Sandiramon then got himself up from that charge and then looked right at Lucas and Agumon.
Sandiramon: (Hissing)... Human and Digimon, prepare to meet your doom.
Agumon: Doom?
Lucas: Oh great, he's one of those kind that... wait a minute, how did you know I was human?
But Sandiramon only made a wicked grin at Lucas for asking that. A little irritated by that responds, Lucas decided to pull out his orange digivice and the holographic screen with the image of this snake appeared with information.
Lucas: OK. Sandiramon. An ultimate level exalted beast Digimon that represents... the snake? And it also says... he's a Deva. What's a Deva?
Agumon: You expect me to know that?
Lucas: It was just a question.
But then Sandiramon started slowly slithering towards them.
Sanidramon: I can answer that one. We, the Deva's, we were once the servants to the Sovereigns, but we were not the kind that approved of you humans.
Lucas: What?
Sanidramon: You humans have plagued the Digital World with you selfish acts on the network, and now... you must pay the price. The Deva's will not stand for you humans any longer, and we must... destroy you! (Loud Hiss)...
That was when Sandiramon started to get a bit angry at them and was now slithering in circles around them both.
Lucas: But why? If you guy's work for the Sovereigns, why do this if they won't allow it.
Sandiramon: The thing about that is... we just don't care anymore. We left the Sovereigns with our own intentions, but we still care for our own world. And to make sure that's true... we must be rid of the those who have ruined it!
Agumon: But humans aren't all bad. I should know.
Sandiramon: Of course you would side with the humans, traitor. And that's how it's gonna be... you must be destroyed along with the humans!
Then, Sandiramon rolled himself up and prepared to attack at any moment. Agumon got in his fighting stance and Lucas got his digivice ready.
Lucas: OK then, if you won't listen to reason... we have no other choice. Agumon!
Agumon: Ready!
Lucas then pointed his digivice at Agumon, and then it started to beep and glow, and so did Agumon.
AGUMON DIGIVOLVE TO... GREYMON
Once the digivolving was done, Greymon got up and looked down at Sandiramon. He just roared, but Sandiramon wasn't scared at all.
Greymon: (Roars)...
Sanidramon: (Hissing)... Is that an attempt to frighten me? If it is, then you need new material. But that will never happen... when I send you to oblivion!
Sandiramon then charged right at Greymon, Greymon moved out of the way, but Sandiramon changed direction and slammed his head on Greymon's chest.
Greymon: AAAAAAAHHH!
Lucas: Greymon!
Sandiramon: I'm not done yet! HA!
Then, Sandiramon used his tail and then hit Greymon in the face and sent him flying to the rocks.
Greymon: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Lucas: (Gasps)...
Greymon just lay there for a minute, then he slowly got himself back up.
Greymon: (Growls)...
Sandiramon: (Laughs)... Getting back up I see.
Greymon: Nova Blast!
All of a sudden, Greymon fired his signature attack at Sanidramon, but Sandiramon was fast enough to dodge the incoming fireball.
Sandiramon: Oops, you missed me.
Greymon: (Growls)... Nova Blast!
And then, Greymon fired an endless barrage of fireballs at him, but Sandiramon just dodge each one of them and laughed at the same time.
Sandiramon: (Laughs)...
Lucas: Greymon, stop! Your just wasting your energy like that!
Hearing Lucas, Greymon then stopped his firing and looked over at him.
Greymon: Your right, sorry Lucas. I almost lost it again. Don't wanna repeat the same mistake like I did with Turuiemon.
Sandiramon: Turuiemon! That little traitor! She abandon us long ago! I hate that name!
Now that got Lucas a bit curious.
Lucas: Abandon? Are you telling me one of you "Deva's" were not all out to destroy mankind?
Sandiramon: I have no reason to answer you! Once your gone, i'll see to that traitor get's what's coming to her! Now disappear! Venom... Axe!
And out of nowhere, Sandiramon shot out an axe right out of his mouth and it was heading towards Greymon.
Greymon: Oh boy.
Lucas: Greymon, get out of the way!
Doing what his human partner said, Greymon manage to move out of the way in time before the axe got him, but Sandiramon used this chance to slither to him, and when he did, he then bit Greymon right on the neck.
Greymon: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Lucas: Oh no, Greymon!
Kumbhiramon: (Laughs)... I love this! (Laughs)...
While he was laughing and watching, Sandiramon then got off of Greymon and grinned at him. But for some reason, Greymon was getting a bit dizzy and he couldn't seem to get his balance.
Greymon: (Groans)... Hey, why are you... moving? Stand... still.
Lucas: Greymon, what's wrong buddy?
Sandiramon: (Hissing)... The moment I bit him, I spread a bit of my venom inside him. He'll be dizzy like for awhile and then he'll soon collapse. But don't worry, it won't destroy him. That wouldn't be any fun for me. (Laughs)...
But at that moment, Lucas was getting a bit fed up with Sandiramon.
Lucas: Why you! You really are a snake, and I can't stand it! Your going down! Greymon, time for a comeback!
Greymon: If you... say so. Whoa, almost slipped there.
And then, Lucas closed his eye's and started believing like Sam told him to do. Then he started to glow in light all around and the picked up his digivice and then the light channeled its way to the digivice and then it shot out of light beam at Greymon. Now it was his time to shine.
GREYMON... DIGIVOLVE TO... METALGREYMON
When the light faded, MetalGreymon stood right in front of Sandiramon, but he still wasn't scared of him. MetalGreymon was still a bit dizzy, but he was able to fight. This on the other hand made Sandiramon a bit frustrated.
Sandiramon: You insect, you just don't know when to give up.
MetalGreymon: It's not apart of my vocabulary. I don't care what you done to me, I can still... fight!
Lucas: Go get 'em, MetalGreymon!
Hearing his partner's voice, MetalGreymon started to charge at Sandiramon and then Sandiramon did the same back at MetalGreymon.
MetalGreymon: HAAAAAAAAAA!
Sandiramon: HAAAAAAAAAA!
Sanidramon swung his tail at MetalGreymon, but MetalGreymon used his metal arm to block the attack. Then he decided to slash at Sandiramon.
MetalGreymon: Take this! Mega Claw!
But Sandiramon slithered away from that attack in time and then he grabbed the axe that he shot out of his mouth a minute ago and started swinging it at MetalGreymon with his tail. MetalGreymon kept backing up and blocking it with his metal arm, but the venom from Sandiramon was starting to kick in again.
Sandiramon: (Laughs)... What's wrong? Getting dizzy are we!
Lucas: Hold on, MetalGreymon! You just got to!
MetalGreymon: I'm... trying.
Using this chance, Sandiramon then slammed himself on MetalGreymon's metal chest and sent him flying.
MetalGreymon: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Lucas: MetalGreymon!
MetalGreymon then hit another rock formation with his back and slid against it until he hit the ground.
Sandiramon: (Laughs)... Had enough!?
But, MetalGreymon manage to get what was left of his strength and opened up his chest plates and prepared his two missiles at Sandiramon.
MetalGreymon: Giga... Blaster!
He then fired them at Sandiramon while he was laughing, but Sandiramon was quick to stop and see the attacking coming. In panic, he moved out of the way in time and saw the missiles head straight for a giant rock formation and they exploded on contact, making the rock explode as well.
Sandiramon: Oh my. That could have been me.
Sandiramon then looked back at MetalGreymon and Lucas, who was running towards his partner.
Sandiramon: (Hisses)... I underestimated these fools. If I attack now... I will end up like that big rock. Time for me to go.
He then took his axe and then started slithering away from them. But Lucas noticed him leave.
Lucas: Hey! Where do you think your going! Come back here!
But Sandiramon didn't listen and he slithered away into the sand, leaving Lucas and MetalGreymon.
Lucas: Why that no good...
MetalGreymon: That... coward. (Groans)...
Hearing his partner in pain, Lucas looked back at him and noticed he was shrinking back to Agumon again.
Lucas: Oh no, Agumon.
Agumon was laying on the rock on his back like he was as MetalGreymon, but even now, the venom was causing him a lot of pain.
Lucas: Agumon, hang in there buddy.
Agumon: (Groans)... I'll be okay... Lucas. I just... need some rest. (Passes out)
With that, Agumon passed out in front of Lucas. But seeing him like this, Lucas didn't know what to do now.
Lucas: Agumon. I'm so sorry.
While they were down their, Kumbhiramon had about enough of watching this.
Kumbhiramon: Humph. Those fools. Time for me to beat it. I'll let them go. For now at least.
With that, Kumbhiramon jumped back and left the scene. But Lucas had no idea what to do now. All he could was let Agumon rest and regain his strength.
Lucas: Agumon.
He then looked ahead and saw the Digital Desert, the big rock formations, and the battle marks left by Sandiramon's presence. They finally made it to the Land of the Digimon Sovereigns, but now...
Lucas: Oh man. What have I gotten us into now?
With nothing he could at the moment, he decide to lay back on the rocky wall right next to his passed out partner. They may have survived this battle, but the Deva's were still out there. What was next for them?
THE DIGITAL WASTELAND, LAND OF THE SOVEREIGNS, DIGITAL WORLD
No matter how much they walk, all they could see was a dead ecosystem. No sign of life and no sign of any of the other's. But Kyle and Gabumon kept moving on to wherever it was they were going, despite the distance.
Gabumon: How long have we been walking?
Kyle: You expect me to know that?
Gabumon: I was just asking a simple question.
Kyle: I know, I know. I'm just worried about the other's is all. I didn't mean to back mouth you like that.
But while they were walking and talking to each other, another strange creature was watching them in the distance behind a boulder. He watched with his glowing red eye's and listening.
Gabumon: I know you didn't mean to, Kyle, and i'm worried about the other's too. But will find them.
Kyle: Let's hope so, Gabumon. I hate to know what else is out here with us.
Gabumon: That is something I don't wanna find out either.
But that creature, revealing itself to be dog like creature wearing blue looking armor, grinned it's sharp teeth at them as they passed by.
?: Well now, the other humans and their Digimon have been separated from each other. Now that make's our job a lot easier.
He then took one step out and watched as they headed off in the distance. And they never even spotted this guy.
?: I better inform the other's about this. Once they hear about this, we can take the humans and their Digimon pets apart one by one. How I longed for the day for me to show the Sovereigns just how wrong they are about humans and Digimon. They will soon see the errors of their ways. And by their own servants.
He just made a wicked grin and started creeping away behind the rock again and disappeared. Like he was never there at all.
SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE DIGITAL FOREST, LAND OF THE SOVEREIGNS, DIGITAL WORLD
Somewhere in the forest, the familiar sound of two humans could be heard as they were making their way through the forest. They had no idea where they were going, but they had to at least get somewhere.
James: How long have we been walking?
Mike: I don't know man. I just don't know.
Both Mike and James looked like they were gonna collapse at any moment. Hagurumon was trailing behind them, and Betamon was riding on James's back.
Hagurumon: You know, we could stop and ask for directions.
Betamon: We can do that if we see another Digimon around. Right guy's?
James: (Groans)... Just be glad you still got energy.
Betamon: I could walk, but i'm not that much of a fast walker, remember.
James: Is that the reason why your on my back?
Betamon couldn't help but laugh at that one. But then, Mike and James noticed something up ahead. It was a river stream.
Hagurumon: Well would you look at that.
James: I that what I think it is?
Mike: It sure looks like...
Mike and James: WATER!
And in an instant, they both bolted towards the river stream, that also made Betamon fall right off of James's back and he and Hagurumon watched as they headed towards the river stream.
Mike and James: Water! Water! Water! Water!
Hagurumon: There they go again.
Betamon: I don't know how you manage to survive with them.
Hagurumon: I'm surprise everyone else survived them.
They had no idea, but now it was just them with those two all alone. When Mike and James got to the river stream, they both dumped their heads into the water and started getting as much as they could in their mouths.
Hagurumon: Wow, look at them go.
Betamon I know. But I feel like a swim instead.
Betamon then jumped into the river stream and he started swimming around like any Digimon like him would do. Mike and James soon took their heads out of the water and looked at each other.
Mike: Now that was refreshing.
James: I'm going back for seconds.
James then dumped his head back in the water.
Mike: Hey, save some for me!
Then Mike dumped his head back in the water. Hagurumon just watched as they were drinking, and Betamon was swimming.
Hagurumon: To bad i'm made of metal. I can't get anywhere near water or i'll rust up.
Betamon: And yet you were willing to get on a raft?
Hagurumon: Hey that was different.
But Betamon just laughed at him and dumped himself into the water. But as the four of them were getting their refreshments in, a strange monkey looking creature was watching them from the tree's around them.
?: Hmm..? I spy with my little eye... humans... and Digimon partners? Well i'll be. That's not right at all. I'll just have to... make some changes to that.
He then made a grin and took off back into the forest. Leaving Mike and James to continued drinking the water again.
Mike: Man oh man. I don't care if this is digital water, it is good!
James: I'll say!
One can only wonder how their gonna survive without the other's. But the real question is; where were they heading for now?
SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE DIGITAL DESERT, LAND OF THE SOVEREIGNS, DIGITAL WORLD
Away from Lucas and Agumon, Kumbhiramon was waiting on top of a small boulder for Sandiramon. When Sandiramon did show himself, Kumbhiramon looked over at him with a glare. He was not happy about something.
Kumbhiramon: I don't get it, why did you just leave the human? You could have finished them both off right there.
Sandiramon: I could have, but then I thought; why not make this play out for a little bit longer.
Kumbhiramon: That doesn't make any sense you idiot!
But Sandiramon just took his head in a bit closer towards Kumbhiramon.
Sanidramon: You better watch your tone around me, Kumbhiramon. I'm a snake, and your a rat. Do the math.
Kumbhiramon: Yes, but still you...
?: Enough you fools!
With the sound of a deep voice, they both looked to see a tall horse looking creature coming towards them with a giant horn looking object tied to its back.
Kumbhiramon: Indramon? What are you doing here?
Indramon: Checking up on you two as usual. What's the problem here?
Sandiramon: It's nothing, Indramon. Just I let a human and his Digimon pet go, and he's making a big deal out of it.
Kumbhiramon: That's because it is a big deal!
Indramon: Enough!
The loud yet deep voice made the two of them jump and stop arguing. They both then looked up at Indramon and he was looking out into the Desert.
Indramon: Even if the human and his Digimon have escaped us, we must not concern so much on one target. After all, it is the entire group of DigiDestined we must focus on. But I got word from Caturamon that their all separated. We can use that to our advantage.
Thinking about that, Kumbhiramon and Sandiramon were both in agreement to it.
Kumbhiramon: If that's the case, then we better get to the real work then.
Indramon: Exactly.
Sandiramon: In that case, I better start hunting down the humans. (Hisses)... I'l be sure that the next time I see one... they won't escape so easily.
With that said, Sandiramon started slithering off to who knows where. Then Kumbhiramon started jumping from boulder to boulder in another direction. Now that leaves Indramon alone to look up at the sky of the Digital World.
Indramon: Humans... and Digimon... how pathetic. The Sovereigns will soon see the superior power of Digimon that have no human partners. They'll see.
And then Indramon took his leave and headed off into the Desert. The Deva's were now on the move.
UNKNOWN DIMENSION
Meanwhile, back at Dexmon's twisted dimension, the four pods were just about ready to open again. Seeing this, Dexmon's eye's started to glow and then the pods drained the fluids inside, and then opened up. The four Digimon/human servants then floated out and their eye's started to glow white again. The sign that they were under Dexmon's control.
Terriermon: Are we ready now, Dexmon?
Dexmon: Yes, you are all ready my children. You know should all be able to access the mega level of your Digimon forms.
All four of them started to smile at their so called master.
Falcomon: Thank you, Dexmon. Will be sure to let those humans and their Dgimon have what's coming to them.
Gomamon: With this new power of ours they'll never beat us again.
Terriermon: You just give the word, and will go, Dexmon.
Dexmon just made a small chuckle at that, but then something else came to his mind. The fact that Lopmon hasn't said a thing to him yet.
Dexmon: Is something wrong, Lopmon? You haven't said a word to me yet.
Lopmon: It's nothing, Dexmon. I'm just exited to know that i'll be going out to fight again. Maybe i'll see that boy again.
Dexmon: Perhaps you will.
He then turned around and started moving with the four other's floating right behind him.
Dexmon: Soon, they will experience the true power that is... Dexmon. (Laughs)...
He just started laughing with his eye's glowing bright red. The four of them just watched him and smiled, but for some reason, Lopmon wasn't to thrilled about this as the other's were. Something was up with her, but what was it? And what does Dexmon have in-store next for everyone?
SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE DIGITAL WASTELAND, LAND OF THE SOVEREIGNS, DIGITAL WORLD
Back at the Digital Wasteland, that sphere of digital energy made by Wizardmon finally made it across the ocean and then the Grand Master jumped out and landed on the ground with a thud. He then got up and looked back at Ninjamon and Wizardmon.
Wizardmon: I can get you this far, but I can't go any further then this. My magic is not strong enough to go the distance.
Grand Master: It's fine, Wizardmon. I can handle myself from here.
Ninjamon: Good luck Grand Master, sir.
Grand Master: Don't worry, Ninjamon. I'll be fine.
With those words said, both Ninjamon and Wizardmon took off back in the air around the sphere of digital energy and then left the wasteland at high speed. Now the Grand Master was all alone. But he wasn't scared of what might be ahead of him.
Grand Master: Alright, Sovereigns... here I come.
He then started walking into the Digital Wasteland. But as he was walking, he pulled out the digivice with a white ring and a black background. He just looked at it and remembered the times he had with Impmon and the other's.
Grand Master: I promise you... all of you... I'll make this right.
With that said, he continued the long walk ahead of him. Everyone has been scattered, the Deva's are making plans, and Dexmon has made a plan of his own, and the Grand Master was all alone. But this was only the beginning... of the great adventure... in the Land of the Digimon Sovereigns.
To be continued...
