Author's Notes: Okay, sorry about, what was it now? Three months? I can't believe it! I actually survived without the internet that long! Well my computer broke and had to go in for repairs. But I'm back now! So here's my fic...
Again, I don't own digimon. The digidestined belong to Toei Animation, Saban, Bandai, and Fox Kids. And it's not my fault they became my muses! And the moxes aren't mine, they were created by Wizards of the Coast, although I happen to have a Mox Diamond in my possession...
Dungeons & Destinies
Part Eleven: The Six Moxes
Melis' POV:
I stared at the two pendants Izzy held up. The forest light shone on the jewels, causing them to glitter and glow.
"Where did you find those?" I gasped. I couldn't believe it! If Izzy had just found what I thought he had... "Holy! Izzy, wow!"
"You know what they are?" he asked.
"I think so," I said. "If I remember correctly, these are probably magical pendants. They could serve multiple purposes."
"Such as?" Matt pressed.
I took the pendants and began to examine them closely. "They could be summoning devices that when used properly release powerful spirits or monsters. Or they might increase a spell power. Hmmmmm...a ruby and a jet..." I stood there for a moment thinking hard. *What could they possibly do? Think, Melis, think!* Matt ruffled his wings impatiently, TK tapped his foot, Joe was looking around as if expecting something to leap out of the bushes at any given moment. Then it hit me. "That's it! If I'm correct, there are five types of spells!(Author's Note: I think I've been playing a little too much Magic lately.) Green, blue, white, red, and black!"
"Five colours?" Izzy repeated. "They represent certain spell types and purposes, right?"
"Exactly," I nodded. "Green increases power, it kinda pumps thing's strength up and stuff. Blue is mostly countering and interrupts. They block other opposing spells. White is mainly protection and healing, while red and black are very dangerous. Red deals serious damage and is a cause of destruction. My ice touch was a blue spell but thunder clap was a powerful red spell. Black is deadly. It's main purpose is to torture and slowly kill off, the pure essence of evil."
"So you're saying these jewels could increse the spell power of all red and black spells?" asked Izzy. I shrugged. "I see. This could come in useful..."
"It could also be protection," I said. "While the Moxes were spell boosters-"
"The Moxes?" repeated Joe. "What are they?"
"The Moxes were six magical gems," I explained. Finally, going to school with wierdos was finally paying off.(Note: Don't deny it, you know it's true!) "There was the Mox Emerald, Mox Saphire, Mox Pearl, Mox Ruby, and Mox Jet. These provided free power for their corresponding spell colours, making it easier for the castor to cast them. Then there came the Mox Diamond. It increased spells of all and any colour, a very powerful and prized item."
"I see," nodded Joe. "What's the other purpose the gems could serve?"
"Protection," I said. "The ruby could protect the wearer from all red spells and the jet from black. This could come in handy. I'm pretty sure Daranay would use black magic if he used it at all." I handed Izzy back his gems.
"That's it!" Izzy exclaimed, snapping his fingers. "I have an idea! We can use these to help us defeat Daranay!"
"But first we have to find Mimi and the others," Joe said. "They could be anywhere!"
TK looked up in the sky, listening. He stood there, concentrating hard. We others looked at him. What was he doing? He seemed oblivious to the curious stares we were giving him. Matt shook him a couple of times. TK blinked and looked around.
"Hey, TK, you okay?" asked Matt. "You kind of zoned out there for a while."
"Yeah, I'm fine," TK answered. "I was just listening. They're coming."
"Who's coming?" Matt asked.
"I don't know, but something is," TK shrugged. "And I'm pretty sure it's not good."
The digidestined stood, listening hard. I sighed deeply and rolled my eyes. *This is stupid,* I thought. *Like we're going to hear anything.* As if in response, I heard almost some sort of a creaking noise in the distance. I had no idea what it was but whatever it was, I hoped it was friendly. So far, I'd had bad expierences with the natives.

Mimi's POV:
I trekked ahead of Tai through the woods. I was beginnig to get sick of Tai's constant ordering. He wanted me to talk with the trees to find the others. Every few seconds it was, "Hey, Mimi, what are they saying now?" When I replied that they weren't saying everything, he became mad and started lecturing me about using my powers to find the others and how important it was that we do. It was driving me crazy! I just wanted to sit down on the ground and not walk anymore. I wanted to go home where I could sleep in a warm bed, wear fashionable clothing, and NOT look like some freaky alien!
"Well, Mimi, anything yet?" asked Tai. "Do they know where the others are? Are they saying anything?"
I couldn't take it anymore! "Yes, Tai, they're saying something! They're telling you to shut your big mouth!"
"Fine, don't help to find the others," Tai said to me before walking off into the dense forest.
I stood there for a minute. Tai was gone, I was alone, free from his orders! But then it began to sink in. I was all alone in some strange forest full of man eating lizards and who knows what else. Then the trees began to almost shudder in fear. I listened hard, maybe they were trying to tell me something. A small voice whispered into my ear, "Run. Escape the orcs. Run."
Orcs? What were orcs? I had never heard of them before. Then I heard Tai's cry for help echo through the trees.
"Mimi!" he cried. "Some one! HELP!!! Please!"
Then the forest was silent. Was Tai okay? What had happened to him? I ran as fast as I could in the direction of his cries. I found him in a clearing along with a group of looming, gruff looking creatures. They had a nasty shade of green for their skin colour and were laughing at the fallen Tai. They had stripped him of his weapons and armour, and had bound him with chains around the wrists, ankles, and neck. They had knocked him to the dirt and were kicking him while laughing like idiots.
"Tai? Leave him alone, pigs!"
Tai looked up at me. He had a briused cheek and a cut lip. "Mimi, run! Don't let them catch you!" He was rewarded with a creature stepping on his back, pushing him back into the dirt.
"Get the elf!" ordered one of the creatures. They swarmed at me, knocking me to the ground. I tried to run but they overwhelmed me, bringing me down into the dirt. I began screaming for help but a swift kick in my side quieted me.
* * *
Matt's POV:
My hand reached for my sword as the creaking sound got closer. I had the suspicion this was going to end up in another fight. Melis, our expert here should know what it was. I decided to ask her.
"Don't look at me," she shrugged. "It could be anything! A merchant with his wagon, selling goods, or an army of blood thirsty goblins, dwarves, or orcs. That's all I know."
"Well whatever it is, it's getting closer!" Joe quivered.
I looked and saw the bushes part. A large gaping cannon mouth was pointed right at us. I froze, dropping my sword. Emerging from around the cannon came these tall, green creatures. They reminded me almost of Ogremon. One of if not THE ugliest things I had ever laid eyes on. Melis' eyes went wide with fear.
"Orcs!!!" she cried. "Quick, everyone, we've got to get out of here!"
"They can't be that bad," I shrugged. "Look at how small they are."
"She's right! Run, guys! Ow!" I looked. Tai and Mimi were chained up to a wagon. They were covered in dirt and Tai looked beaten. He no longer had his sword, shield, and had been stripped down to his leather and skin clothing, the orcs must have taken them from him.
I didn't have time to run. A group of orcs swarmed me. They kicked away my sword and began pulling on my wings. The pain shot down my back from deep within my spine. As they tugged harder, laughing, I threw a wild punch, catching one in the side of the head. It fell to the ground, enraging the others. Several of the orcs pulled out clubs and began to visciously attack me with them. I fell to my knees, after receiving a blow to my stomach. A hit to the side of my head knocked me into the dirt. I lay, moaning in agonizing pain. I felt sick and my head was pounding.
"Who's the big goon now, birdy boy?" mocked an orc.
"Leave him alone, scum!"
I looked up. TK and Melis had stood up to the orcs, desperately trying to get them away from me. It wasn't working, TK was quickly knocked away, overcome by the creatures.
"Joe! Izzy!" Melis yelled at the two. "Don't just stand there! Do something- ahhhhh!!!" Several orcs began tugging on her robes and one grabbed her by her hair, dragging her into the ground. She screamed in pain as more swarmed her. I couldn't see either her or TK through the crowd of the gang of creatures. Only their desperate cries for help.
Joe and Izzy looked at each other, trying to decide what to do. Then more orcs appeared from the bushes, swarming them. Joe's glasses were knocked off his face and stepped on, shattering them. Izzy was taken down with several kicks and punches. Tai and Mimi looked on in complete despair.
I couldn't take the pounding in my head anymore. My head hit the dirt again and the world around me began to spin. I slowly closed my eyes and gave into the looming darkness, my friends' screams and cries for help fading away.
Et voila! So what do you think about this part? I should be able to finish this story soon, but I don't know how many parts it's gonna take. And if anyone cares to know, the next chapter features...drumroll please! *no sound* Okay, forget the drumroll. Anyways, the next chapter's gonna feature the return of Sora and Kari. Yeah, that's right, I didn't forget about them.
