Chapter 4: Meeting the residents of Agunimons Castle
Once inside the castle Andromon finally made it up the many stairs and carefully peered over in the window to scout out the area "Seems safe *sees a comfy chair in front of a glowing fire* I never seen a fire outside the furnaces of home so it seems cozy" he said as he took off the coat and with deliberation the tarp outfit he made exposing his full android body as his organic foot shivered feeling on the wood "I dont know if I will ever get use to that" he said as he sat down in the chair feeling new sensations such as softness cover his body as he shivered "Or feeling things, but at least I can now power down" he said as he took another look at the fire "bit low" he said as he got a few logs (and feeling there rough bark with the sensitive nodes in his hands) as he tossed them in the fire as he held a hand over the fire feeling the warmth "I wonder if before there extinction Andromons felt such sensations" he said as he laid down but not before looking around the area only to see…it was a dump.
Dirty dishes and silverware were piled up, books were laying everywhere all over "This is not like the castles in my stories *sighss as his eyes start to droop* another thing about digivolving is that the older you get the less things start to seem scary" he said but the moment he said that a few shadows started to walk up.
One was a sea snake like creature with a metal helmet, another was a machine Dragmon that were seen all over his home town, another looked like some sort of humanoid clown thing, and the last looked like a child size human puppet which got into Andromons lap waking him up and causing him to jump with a yelp seeing the four figures making them laugh "Such a skittish little thing" the MachineDramon said "you ever see such a creature machineDramon?" Asked the sea serpent thing "Not in a long time *leans down and sniffs* he smells freshly digivolved and yet it didnt happened naturally" he said as the Clown digimon studied him making Andromon nervous more so as the gloved hand grabbed Andromons face squeezing his cheeks as he stared at him "Humm, poor pretty thing is cursed and locked this way" said the clown as the puppet digimon was poking Andromons leg "His exposed skin looks funny and feels funny" he said childishly as Andromon pulled his legs up and hugged them as the Machinedragmon grabbed the puppet creature by his puppet controller "Leave the poor dear alone Puppetmon he seems pretty scared" he said as Andromon looked at them "Who are you? Are any of you Agunimon?" Asked Andromon as the group got mad and agressive.
"Machinedramon: How dare you call us that
Seadramon: Dont compair us to that hack
Puppetmon: yeah hes a meanie"
The clown like digimon then crossed his arms as the flames got intense "None of us are Agunimon, do we look like some sort of incarnation of fire, no we are the dark masters, the terrors of the digital world *tick mark* until that brat got us under a contract and bounded to him" he said making Andromon curious "if you ask my name is Pidemon a powerful magician" the now named Pidemon as Andromon looked at him "Then can you remove the spell on me" he asked as Pidemon smriked and shared a look with his team "Maybe, maybe not, if you can find a way to break the spell on us, then maybe we can try" said Pidemon "Can you really help me?" Asked Andromon "Dont know if we can, we are powerful virus and we dont make promises" said Puppetmon as Metal seadramon slapped him as Andromon gave a look "Then maybe I should ask someone else" he said as that got the four upset "OH COME ON! Were fellow machine types, that stupid organic fire brat treats us like a Labmon!" Yelled Machinedramon "Machinedramon is right, mostly me because I have stronger magic and the others like slaves that brat!" Said Pidemon "He makes us do everything, we have to keep the water hot, the room warm, the castle moving…!" Winned Puppetmom as Andromon started to feel sleepy his armor and flesh warming making him sleepy "How unfortunate for you" said Andromon yawning "Have you evertried to move a castle? Me and Machinedramon have to move it! And its hard" winged Metalseadramon "Look robot if you can get me and the others out of this rut, we'll help you return to be a gardomon deal?" Said Pidemon "*Sleepy* deal" said Andromon as he went to sleep "Hello? Android?" Said Puppetmon stretching as he waved a hand but Andromon was asleep snoring softly.
"And the machine is asleep, shame I wanted to keep looking at his lovely blue eyes" said Pidemon as he stared at the android as Machinedragmon grabbed a blanket and covered him which Pidemon noticed "Funny is it because he shared your line?" Asked Pidemon "A bit, but something about a blue eyed Andromon…well it was so long ago it feels faded" he said as the foursome left to to rest as the castle continued to move…
Morning came as a celebration was going on outside of a halloween town like town as it appeared battleships were going off to sea as various digimon cheered. Later A Skullsatanmon, the ruler of the town and his second in command a Phantomon walked through the town to a spooky plain like Atiler home with the words 'the great wizard Sorccerymon' on front when they reached the door Skull Stanenmon began to knock on the door.
Andromon was still sleeping as the repeated knocking woke him up confused as he heard footsteps marching down the stairs as in a panic Andromon closed his eyes and pretended to sleep as he onepend one eye and was surprised to see a angel like digimon and a Devimon, though the angel like digimon had a star shaped birthmark on the stomach area and the Devimon had a wine birthmark as the angel digimon saw the sleeping Andromon "Whos this?" Asked the angel "Its the Witchly hallows door Diablo" said Pidemon in a borad voice as the other dark masters woke up "I got this" said Devimon as he closed his eyes and glowed and grew his wings being absorbed as he became a Myotusmon much to Andromons surprise but relaxed seeing that the birthmark was on his face and his eyes were diffrent as the Myotusmon flicked his cape "Coming now" he said (Imagine his voice sounding like Tusaka from ) walking to the door but before opening it, he muttered 'stand by' as he twisted a knob that had four colors to blue which in turn changed a little circle to the color blue as it opened the door to reveal it was Skull Satenmon and Phantomon "Can I help you Mayor?" He asked "Good day *Pulls out a piece of paper* is the great master Wizard Sorccermon at home?" Asked Skullsatanmon "I am afraid master Sorccermon isnt here at the moment" said the Myotusmon as Andromon and the Angemon Diablo (as illogical to Andromon sounds) watched "I speak for him in his absence" the myotusmon said "A invitation from his majesty *Gives Myotusmon the letter* the time for war is here he requires that all digimon who study magic aid our homeland, Sorccermon must report to the palace immediately" he said as Andromon got up and placed some wood to the fire as he placed the top of his tarp cloak over his body as he curiously watched "Thank you" said Myotusmon as he bowed and closed the door "I cant belive it came to war" Andromon sighed recalling a war that caused all the organic digimon except virus and devil like digimon to leave after a organic phobic Machinedramon took the throne after the deletion of there last leader a Hi andromon, he was only a Kapurimon but it still was sad.
"And what on earth are you doing here? Diablo you better not have brought this machine thing in as a pet, we already got enough with that with Machinedramon and Puppetmon (Puppetmon: Hay! Machine Dramon: watch it punk)" the myotusmon said his voice no longer sounding mature but more like something else (Think his less serious voice sounding like Amons or Starscream (Prime) voice) as Diablo waved his hands "I didnt bring him in Angelo" said Diablo confusing Andromon further on the naming "He is right *Points to Pidemon* Pidemon let me in" he said as Pidemon got mad "I-Did-NOT!" He yelled "He is right he just waltz in her like they own the place from the wastes" said Metal seadramon "The waste? How do you know he wasn't a wizard?" Said Diablo leaning close as the vampire digimon de-digivolved into Devimon and yanked the angel digamous wings "Dio you know that is impossible for a machine to have magic *Stars at Andromons fleshy parts* even if he is part organic" he said "Plus do you think me and my brothers are dumb enough to let a witch or wizard in? We are not that stupid" said Machinedramon as a bell rang again "Witchly hollows again" said Metal seadramon, he and the other dark masters were technically the doorman for agunimon and they hated it.
"Must be a customer" said Angelo as Dio got his wings free "I got this" said Dio as he glowed and became a Magnaangemon "I am good with customers unlike you fussy pants (Angelo: I am not a fussy pants!) you are dont deny it" said Diablo (Think his voice sounding like Emperor Belos) as he opened the door seeing a little girl Witchmon "Papa sent me here to get a spell" she said "Ah yes now come in little one" sand Diablo leading the watchman in as Angelo then glared at Andromon "*Whispers* dont cause any trouble robot thing" he harsh whispered as Andromon walked over to the window and was amazed to see he wasnt in the wastes anymore but the bustling city of Witchly Hollows "*whispers* its not the wastes" he said softly as Diablo looked for the spell as Witchmon looked at Andromon "Are you a wizard to ?" She asked as Andromon smiled "Why of course I am little one, I am the scariest wizard of them all" he said as Witchmon giggled as Diablo walked over with the spell "Dust this powder and the winds will favor it little one" he said as Witchmon took it "Thank you" she said politely as she gave him some coins and left.
As soon as she was gone Angelo glared at Andromon "Stop telling the customers lies he said "Oh and what about you? Your a angel and devil yet you can manipulate your digivolutions so seamlessly possibly to hid your true age correct" asked Andromon "He is not far on that, we are still teenagers" said Diablo still as Magna angemon as Angelo yanked his wings "Dont go and spread that, and fine its true me and my twin are manipulating our digivolutions when we are in the teenage stage but its to practice our magic" said Angelo as the bell rang again.
"Its the Samurai lands door" said Puppetmon as the other dark masters sighed, they really hate that they have to do this every time a person knocks "Stand by, I got this" said Angelo becoming his Myotusmon form as he switched the color of the knob to red and opened it revealing a Tactimon "Is this the residence of the great shamen Ashuramon?" He asked shocking Andromon as Angelo nodded "It is" "I have a invatation from the king that says that all digimon who can use magic must report to duty at the palace" he said as Angelo bowed "I will inform him right away" he said as Andromon peeked out in shock, no longer in Witchly hallows but now Edo land "This is the japanese royal city" he said in awe as Angelo grabbed him by the nape of his armored neck and pulled him in "Move it or you'll lose your nose!" He said roughly as he let go but Andromon just stared at the door when it was closed curious on how a castle can travel from one place to another that he decided to test it out for himself.
He switched the color to green and opening the door he realized he was back into the wastes again. He then shut the door again and switched the color to blue and opened the door to reveal the house being in Witchy hollows again and then closed the door to turn the knob again but felt a gloved hand on his metal hand as he looked and saw that Angelo had digivolved into Myotusmon and was glaring at him "Will you knock it off you are getting me mad (Diablo: ok knock it off Brother he is just curious) well it is making mer nervous!" Yelled Angelo as Andromon looked at the two unusual siblings "This is a magic house isnt it? Its amazing I never seen anything like it *Sees the black mark* where does this go to?" Asked Andromon as Angelo let him go "Only Our Dad knows" said Diablo as he de-digivolved into a Patamon revealing herocoma eyes like Angelo and the star birthmark on his stomach as he flapped his wings and went to a cabinet and got a loaf of bread "Oh good I am hungry, swapping between champion and ultimate is making me hungry" said Angelo de-digivolving into a Demi-devimon as Andromons stomach lightly growled as he touched it as the little hamster digimon split it into two shares but seeing Andromon hungry politely cut a third slice "here you must be freshly digivolved you need to eat a bit of organic food to balance what oil you ate" said Diabloas he offered a piece of bread which the android took and stared at it and then dainty ate a bite and was surprised at the taste and rapidly ate due to feeling super hungry "Hay you better slow down or you will choke" said Diablo as he got some cheese as Angelo gave a look to his twin as the two rookies sat at a semi Messi table as Andromon noticed something and walked to a food covered table and pulled out a tray that had fresh and unused meat which he recognized that farmer digimon selled for devil digimon and next to it was a basket of eggs.
"Why dont you have baccon and eggs, I may not know much about organic digimon but I know they are important to help young rookies be able to digivolve to Mega" he said as he saw a apron and remembering how Ice devimon or Lady devimon wear one when cooking and swapped his tarp outfit for it as both Angelo and Diablo looked at it hungrily "We want to but we cant use the fire without Papas permission and the dark masters are very protective of it" said Diablo as Andromon ignored that part as with one hand he took the baccon and eggs and with his free hand pulled out a frying pan "Dont worry I can cook, though basic stuff but I can do it" which was true as he mostly learned from watching others do it. "Dosent matter if you can cook android, the dark masters only obays Dad "You got that right, you want to use the fire you can forget it" said puppetmon "We will not take orders from some abomination like you" said Pidemon as Puppetmon then childishly stuck his tounge out in a neener way.
However Andromon just ignored them as he reached into his hammer space and pulled out his special hat and placed it on a chair as he got the pan "Alright now lets cook" he said as Metal seadramon glared "Do we look like chefs? We dont cook!" He said exasparated "We are a group of very dangerous and powerful digimon now stuck as guardians of this flame!" Said Pidemon childishly sticking his tounge out "Then how will all four of you like a bit of water to the face or Puppetmon spanked like the unrulychild he is? *Whispers to the group* or will you rather have me tell Agunimon our little bargin" he whispered as the dark masters faces all had looks of flaberghasted, shock and annoyance "Grrr, Pidemon we should had never let him in here" said MachineDramon "You think" the clown digimon said as they watched Adromon put the pan over the fire "Good fire keepers all four of you" said Andromon with a light chuckle before he placed some slabs of bacon on the pan as Puppetmon started to droll a bit "you know I am starting to get a bit hungry" he said as the other three glared "Here is a curse, may all your bacon burn" said Pidemon darkly as Angelo and Diablo watched in amazement…well Diablo had stars while Angelo was impressed "They are actually doing what he says…gutsy Android" he said "Now how about some tea, I never had it but Neo-devimon and Seline enjoy it, do you have a kettle here?" said Andromon "Hang on I'll get it!" Said Diablo as he flew to get a kettle in the sink.
"Will you stop that dont encourage him, whos side are you on *walks over* Diablo put that kettle down right now!" Said Pidemon as at that moment the color turned to black as the door opened as the fire colored digimon that saved Andromon when he was still a Gardomon from the soldiers walked in "Papa/Dad!" The two rookies said flying over "Master Agunimon your back" said Pidemon holding onto the kettle revealing that the humanoid armored digimon was the wizard Agunimon as he gently hugged the two rookies "Papa the kings messengers came today, they say you have to report to the palace as both Sorrcermon and Ashuramon" said Diablo as Agunimon sighed "More problems that King Omnimon thinks magic can fix" he said as Andromon recognizing the digimon gasped before focusing on cooking avoiding eye contact…not that he thinks matters since he is now vastly diffrent except for his eyes. As the Dark masters were silent as the watched what will happen as the little patamon and demidevimon flew out of his arms scared of what will happen next as Agunimon approached the stove as he looked at Pidemon with a bemused stare "Why Pidemon, you're being pretty obedient today" he said as the clown digimon cluched the kettle handle "Not on purpose! *points at Andromon* he was bullying me!" He yelled as the fire turned more red as the baccon cooked as Andromon focused on it as Agunimon hummed "Not just anyone can do that *Looks at Andromon* and you are…who?" He asked as Andromon gulped nervous before he got a idea and smiled revealing his fang "Why I am your new cleaning robot, just call me Andro" he said as Agunimon walked over that they were close
"Please hand me 11 more slices of bacon and a dozen eggs please" he said as Andromon obeyed and handed him the baccon and eggs as Agunimon placed them on the pan which was big enough to hold the food and gave the egg shells to Puppetmon who gleefully ate them. "So who hired you to clean?" He asked "Oh it was the dark masters they were complaing how disgusting it was in here, especially since you are rasing two children" said Andromon. "Is that so, Angelo, diablo get some plates" said Aguimon as the two rookies obeyed becoming there champion forms to make it easy as he, Andromon and both of them sat at the table "Wait are you gonna eat while we have to do all the work!" Yelled Machine dragon as Pidemon flicked his nose "Oh hush we'll get you some food" he said "Come and have some breakfast Andromon, you need to put some balance in your stomach since you are part organic" said Angelo as Andromon sat down as the food was served Andromon enjoying some tea to get his stomach used to organic food before looking for some silverware as Diablo held up five clean spoons and a semi dirty fork.
"Choose one, metaldeadramon and Machine dragon eat with there mouths so its the more humanoid who can eat normally, the rest are dirty" said Diablo as Andromon got a clean spoon as Puppetmon got the dirty fork and wined as the group started to eat "Looks like I got some serious work to do" said Andromon as Agunimon cut up some bread "Here, start off slow before eating something greasy" he said as Andromon said thanks as everyone started to enjoy the meal "oooh, I cant remember the last time we had a good meal" said Angelo as he and Diablo dug in while Andromon at his baccon slowly as to not upset his stomach but noticed how mannters were…bad "Even manners are a mess here" he said
Suddenly without warning Agunimon spoke up "So what do you have hidden in your leg armor?" Asked Agunimon confusing Andromon as he reached into his more mechanically covered leg and pulled out a red envelope "What the? That wasnt there before" he wonders "may I see it?" Asked Agunimon as Andromon tried to give it to him but it just burned up with Andromon dropping it in surprise as it revealed a message now burned in the table. "Scorch marks!" Said Dio stepping back "Dad can you read them?" Asked Angelo as Agunimon smirked at that "Well this is ancient dig-sorcery and very powerful one at that" said Agunimon.
"Is it from Myotusmon?" Asked Diablo as Agunimon read the scorch marks on the table 'you who swallowed a falling star and formed a pact with the four dark ones O'heartless brat, your heart shall soon belong to me…sheesh dramatic, cant be good for the table" said Agunimon as he sighed "That vampire digimon just wont leave you alone" said Pidemon which was true as Agunimon placed his palm on the scorch marks and started to rub it away, even if it burned his hand dispite being a fire manipulator.
"The mark is gone papa" said Diablo "The mark maybe gone but the curse is still there, excuse me I need to be alone for a bit, I am sorry please continue your meal" he said as he gave his food to Machine dragon "Machinedramon, metal seadramon move the castle 60 miles to the west *walks up stairs* and Pidemon, puppetmon while that is happening make some hot water for my bath" he said "As if moving this heap of a castle is hard enough brat" said Pidemon as Angelo glared at Andromon. "Your not working for Myotusmon are you?" He asked suspiciously which caused Andromon to get pissed and angry "I will never work for that horrid wizard! He is the one who-" he started but his mouth clamped shut as he tried to say 'the one who cursed me to digivolve when he didnt want to' as he ripped at it as he got more mad as he slammed his hand into the table "Grrrrr, when I get my hands on that wizard, I am gonna wring his stupid neck!" He said settled down ignoring the shocked looks on the brothers faces "Eat your food right now" he said before force eating the bacon before groaning due to a stomach ache.
Authors note: and those are the residents of the house the Dark masters playing Calcifer are under contract to Agunimon and Angelo and Diablo a devimon and Angemon are Agunimon apprentices and his sons.
Andromon has a place to keep him safe, and is adjusting to be half organic, and living outside of his home. Next chapter he continues to adjust to living in the castle being the cleaning bot and bonding with Agunimons children though he dosent know what the fire warrior is doing
