Previously On DFX:
As you all learned last time, the red Trailmon, Worm, was taking our gang to the Digital World. As they reached their first destination, a huge explosion crossed their way where Devitamamon was rampaging for power. Nagisa, as the only one with her D-Tector active, jumped in action and Digi-evolved into the Humanoid Spirit of Love, Amuletmon.
Normal POV:
"AMULETMON!"
The fractal code vanished revealing the humanoid warrior of Love standing in front of Devitamamon ready for combat. The female wore a Chinese style outfit, that consisted of a short pink qipao with bronze lining, a short brown jacket with the half-sleeves. Her hands were covered with brown gloves and below the elbows two black bands were present. The warrior wore knee-high boots with the right being a little different from the left; the right boot almost reached the end of the dress and had two criss-cross bronze lining, while the left one was a little short and was attached to a brown band fastened on the thigh. The boots had light swirl designs in bronze. A brown belt was attached to the dress with a brass tassel and two black sticks dangling from the right. Her wavy chestnut hair was replaced with two short jet black braids, having pink highlights. The color of the eyes was a beautiful magenta but the left eye was covered with bangs.
The symbol of Love was imprinted on the backside of the gloves and on the knot of the tassel. The armor gave off a boyish look despite being stylish.

Name: Amuletmon
Type: Angel
Level: Hybrid
Attack Techniques: Shivers of Love, Anguish Slash, Wavering Attachment: String of Fate, Crystal Ofensio, Celesta Menilis, Deflecta, Modus Telanoc, Angelic Lullaby of Hope
Description: Amuletmon is an Angel Digimon. Due to the unique constitution of her body, that renders her incredibly flexible and agile, but still possessing inhuman strength due to her muscles being eight times denser than a normal human, allowing her to deliver fast and powerful blows, and can possess angelic wings to travel faster and perform mid-air attacks. Most of her attacks are offensive but her defensive attacks are much more powerful even though being less in number. Her moves reflect ballet and some may see her dancing rather than fighting. The attack Angelic Lullaby of Hope gives off a tranquil feeling despite the neck of the target being slashed.
"I honestly wasn't looking forward to a fight first thing when coming back," Amuletmon grumbled. Her voice had changed to a mature female's sound.
Devitamamon roared and raced towards the unconcerned warrior. A pair of shining white wings emerged behind her and she jumped to the other side dodging the attack swiftly.
"Looks like your mind's completely blank, huh?" She said landing on the ground.
The others had hidden behind the buildings as the way to the terminal had been blocked.
"So beautiful..." Izumi said, awestruck.
"She looks like an angel," Tomoki complimented. Junpei nodded at this.
"Is her being this carefree okay?" Kouichi asked Charle who had reverted back to her normal form.
Charle replied, "Na-chan has faced Devitamamon before, but didn't finish him off since he was still sane. He was thrown to the dungeon before we came to get you guys. Looks like he escaped after becoming more corrupted-chu."
"Corrupted as in?" Kouji questioned next.
"Ophanimon and the others will surely explain this in detail later," Bokomon answered.
Back to the fight, Amuletmon kept dodging the Dark Digimon's physical attacks.
Devitamamon snarled, "Your data... give it to me..."
"Not happening. Why not try yourself?" Amuletmon taunted.
"Give it to me!" Devitamamon kneeled on the ground and cried out, "DAZZLING EYE!"
Red lasers shot out of its eyes without having a definite aim. The beams struck everywhere and caused more debris to fall. A few beams shot towards the other warriors. Charle was about to step forward but Amuletmon beat her to it.
"DEFLECTA!" A crystal wall formed, blocking the attack. Instead of disappearing, the lasers bounced back and hit Devitamamon, who cried in pain. The Digimon fell back unable to get up for the time being. "Shit. This one is in a more dangerous stage." The Love Warrior turned towards Bokomon and asked, "We didn't research this level of insanity, right?"
"I'm afraid not. This is the first Digimon to react in such a manner. Maybe if you can-"
"No can do. Capturing him will be pointless at this point. If he was able to leave the underground dungeon so easily, he might destroy the research center in a flash." Amuletmon stood in a defensive stance as the Dark-evolved creature slowly stood up. His growls and snarls grew louder as he took steady steps. "D...ata... give... me...!"
"Quick and painless it is." Not moving her ground, Amuletmon unclenched her fists and called out, "Celesta Menilis!" Two rosy ribbons shot out from her palms and wrapped around the enemy. She then jumped into the air, grabbing the two dangling rods from her belt. The rods opened up to reveal spikes sticking out of two semi-circles. The female warrior dived towards the struggling Digimon and chanted softly, "You may rest now." She slashed through Devitamamon's neck and landed gently on the ground, "Angelic Lullaby of Hope..."
SWISH.
A bright light showered upon Devitamamon and feathers were fluttering from the sky. His eyes filled with tears as Devitamamon silently whimpered, feeling peace at last. He was soon enveloped in a cocoon of fractal code. Amuletmon took out her D-Tector and readied herself to extract the code.
"Time for you to rest in peace... Fractal Code: Scan!" She raved through the code as it got consumed into the device and to nothingness. Amuletmon pressed a button on her D-Tector and the consumed code formed back to the landforms that were erased. Ribbons of code surrounded the female, leaving her back to a human.
"You guys can come out now," Nagisa frowned, "I told you to go back but you stayed here, watching me like I was some -sorry for this- fucking publicity act."
Izumi squeaked a small 'Language!' at this.
Takuya scowled as he came out of hiding, "We just wanted to see what you could do! It's not like we were impressed or something."
Tomoki skipped to Nagisa, "You were amazing, Kirishima-san!" The younger boy spoke with high praise. Takuya sweatdropped at this as it completely blew off his cover. "It was such a gentle fight... Like you wanted Devitamamon to just find peace and not get hurt any further."
"That was the main reason. These corrupted Digimon need to be defeated in a painless method because they have already endured discomfort to an extended limit," Nagisa explained. "Anyways, we need to move out of this place to catch up with Worm. He shouldn't be far."
Kouji stepped forward and inquired, "Wait. First, tell us why our D-Tectors aren't working."
"I'll explain on the way. C'mon." They all began walking through the village where little to no debris was present. Bokomon and Neemon stayed behind to handle the citizens of the village, saying they'll join them later. As they made their way to the next terminal near the exit of the village, Nagisa began explaining, "I'm not so sure about this myself but I'll tell you what I know. The reason your D-Tectors didn't respond was first, they haven't been active for a long time. The devices might be still adjusting to being back to their respected atmosphere. Secondly, you all only have one of the spirits in your D_Tectors."
Kouichi asked, "Why only one?"
"When these corrupted Digimon began showing up, Ophanimon knew whoever this new threat was will surely try to do the same to the Legendary Spirts, so she dispersed one of the two spirits to where they belong originally. It was the safest way at the time."
"You mean we have to look for them again? That sucks." Izumi moaned.
"You aren't the only ones. My Beast Spirit was also sent away. I have to look for it soon." Nagisa continued, "So that's that. You might wanna check them now, the D-Tectors must have activated."
Everyone took out their respective devices to see them working perfectly. "You're right. There working fine now." Junpei exclaimed. "Huh? Only my Beast Spirit is here."
Tomoki joined him, "Mine too."
"I have Kazemon," Izumi added.
"JagerLoweemon is here," Kouichi said.
Kouji said nonchalantly, "Beast Spirit here."
Takuya stood there in shock. "I-I have..." The others peered at his device, then stepped away slowly. The Flame Warrior let out a cry, "I have none! Why?!"
He looked at Nagisa for an answer but she only shrugged. He stomped up to her and began yelling, "It must be you! I know you hate my guts but this is going too far."
The girls stared at him, totally uninterested and said, "You also blame things on others you don't know of, dumbass." She sighed and continued walking.
"Hey! You didn't answer me!"
"What's there to answer when I haven't done anything. Consider this a not-so-warm welcome back gift from the big guys."
Takuya stood dejected while his friends tried to cheer him up. The group reached the terminal to find a blue-fish Trailmon standing there. "Angler, don't tell me you are here to do his work," Nagisa asked as she approached him. "That slacker."
Angler gave a nervous laugh, "He said something about evacuating the village people." The girl pinched her forehead, "Well shit, I'll deal with him later. In the meantime, take these guys to Viltis City."
"What place is that?", Izumi asked.
"Where Ophanimon's castle is. It was built when Digi-World was recreated." Then Nagisa gestured Charle, who evolved.
"Charlottemon Slide Evolution: Tenacimon!"
Nagisa settled on her partner, and before they were about to leave, Takuya stopped and asked her, "Where are you off to now?"
"I have to check some stuff. Once you reach Viltis City, Wizardmon should be there waiting for you all. I guess you know him already. He will guide you further."
"See you later-chu!" With that, the two flew away from the Village of Flame. The others got on Angler and hoped for this day to end. The had become tired even if they didn't do much. Learning about all the new developments, the thought of finding their spirits again and fighting tougher enemies than before was tiring enough.
-Timeskip: Viltis City ~Area of Light~-
It was almost evening when they arrived at their second destination. Everyone had fallen asleep during the long ride. Once the blue Trailmon came to a stop, he blew his whistle, signaling their arrival.
Takuya's POV:
I slowly woke from my slumber from the sound of a loud whistle. I faintly heard Angler saying that we have reached the city. I sat up straight and stretched my body. The others also began to get up. We got out and worked our way to the platform. I was still half-asleep when Izumi squealed in excitement, "This city is so beautiful!"
I snapped out of my haziness to see what was so great. My eyes widened at the sight; Izumi was right, this place is amazing. I remember Ophanimon's castle was surrounded by flowers and nothing else, but this was a complete landscape of a city with proper buildings and roads. Flowers bloomed everywhere and their trees of fruits too. Different kinds of Digimon were bustling here and there. The buildings were mostly white and gold but some were of different colors. There was also a sale market covering an entire road.
Cripes, this is truly artistic... Maybe I can draw it later. That reminds me!
"We left our stuff in Worm," Unexpectedly, Kouji and I jinxed.
"Oh shoot! And we don't even know when he'll come here." Izumi complained.
Junpei whistled in disappointment, "Sweet."
Out of nowhere, a rather friendly voice called us, "There you all are! I have been expecting you."

Name: Wizardmon
Type: Wizard
Level: Champion
Special Attacks: Electro Squall, Magical Games, Thunder Ball, Vision of Terror, Blink Breez, Meteor Squall
Description: Wizardmon is a Wizard Digimon. It is an advanced Digimon that came from Witchelny, the Digital World of another dimension. In its native Digital World, it mastered the sorcery (advanced programming language) of fire and earth, and although it aimed to become a great wizard, it appeared in the Digimon World to train. Although it has a personality that likes playing a few practical jokes, because it has another, shyer side, it tries to never show its uncovered face.
Wizardmon walked over the group, "You are a little late if I must say."
"Something came up," I said.
"The attack at Flame Village. I just heard about it. Shall we?" He said while gesturing the path ahead.
"Our belongings are still with Worm, so we were hoping to wait for him,"
"Do not worry. Bokomon and Neemon mentioned this when they contacted me The two will be arriving a little late but I assure you, we will deliver it to you all safely." I don't remember him being this nice. We did fight him as an enemy before so...
We followed the Wizard Digimon as he guided us through the area. There many other things to see as we traveled. Once we settled down a bit, I would definitely take a tour of the place. Wizardmon was explaining how much the Digital World had changed and that we might find it difficult to travel around without a map or guide. We finally reached the castle, which to say hadn't changed much from the outside. It still looked the same majestic place. Wonder if the library look is still inside. We climbed the stairs and were greeted by two chess shaped Digimon.

Name: PawnChessmon (Black & White)
Type: Puppet
Level: Rookie
Special Attacks: Pawn Spear, Pawn Buckler, Pawn Lightning, Pawn Charge, Pawn Pententrate
Description: PawnChessmon is a Puppet Digimon. It was born from data leaking out of a chess game supercomputer. Its power is weak, but it is promoted when it strives for prominence, and it is an ordinary pawn that conceals the mystery that it is said to possess Mega-class power. Its catchphrase is, "I only advance!" It considers its fellows who are striving for prominence ahead of it to be its rivals.
The Black and White PawnChessmon saluted us and opened the gates. I feel kinda embarrassed being treated like a hero... Wait, I am a hero! Ha, in that Kirishima's face. I did so get a warm welcome back.
We were being taken to some sort of meeting hall. The rest of the place was totally different. It was well decorated with portraits and artifacts of the Digi-World. The walls were of crystal blue color with a hint of orange. One thing that made our faces fall was that there were more stairs. We, annoyingly and completely out of energy, trudged up the staircase. Wizardmon opened the door for us and took his leave. Inside stood the three Celestial Digimons, who had smiles plastered on their faces.
"Welcome back, dear Chosen Children."
Hey guys! *Gets pushed* Oi!
Takuya: Hiya guys, long time no see.
Kouji: It has been a long time since we chatted.
Izumi: And you wanna know why?
Tomoki: Merry-nee-chan made excuses by saying that she is gonna put her story on hold.
Nagisa: Some people believed her and really did plan a short vacation.
Junpei: What? We need a little vacation. After all, we have been working so hard.
Kouichi: First, going on a cruise for a month isn't a short vacation. Second, we ONLY did 6 episodes, for Pete's sake. How much tired can you guys get?
Takuya & Junpei: *Thinking* A lot :D!
The others: *fell in an anime style*
*Pushes the gang aside* Oh, well, you guys must be happy hearing their annoying talks again. I have to go somewhere, so I will try updating as soon as possible. Please, continue reading the story. See ya!
