Chapter 5
Gatomon walked down the castle halls. The ground was
rocky, and pretty awful for her bare-feet to be walking on.
"I've got to find a way out of this place. But I
can't leave without my weapons." she said. She came across many doors, but
none held her gloves and shoes. Then she came across a room where she heard
talking. The door was closed so she had to press her ear against it to hear
what was going on. Inside the room, Ogremon and Devimon were discussing
business.
"Let me get this straight. You've trained a lot
soldiers from the Numemon tribe who shall help us in the destruction of
Natsumi? "asked Ogremon.
"That's not it. I'll explain all of it once he gets here." said Devimon.
Suddenly the windows flew open! In came the devious vampire man. A legend. A
man who has been the subject of many scary stories told around campfires in the
gijinka world.
"M-M-M-Myotismon?!" cried Ogremon, "He's
for real?!"
"Save it." Devimon ordered. Myotismon flew over
to them.
"Greetings. What do you need, Devimon?" asked
Myotismon.
"Glad you're here, Myotismon. We need to discuss our
plan."
"Your plan for conquering the Digiworld. With me on
your side, it should be a piece of cake." said Myotismon. Devimon smiled a
cold, evil smile.
"Say, Devimon, what about that girl that's in the
dungeon?" asked Ogremon.
"Ah, yes. Her. She's strong, all right. Maybe she'll
work for me and help me destroy Natsumi." said Devimon.
"What if she refuses?" asked Ogremon.
"If she refuses....." Devimon began. He looked
at Myotismon.
"......I'll kill her." finished Myotismon.
Gatomon gasped. She backed up until her foot stepped on a sharp rock. She
couldn't help, but scream. The three men noticed.
"What was that?" asked Ogremon.
"Find out." Devimon ordered. Gatomon had to get
out of there fast! She ran down the halls, making turns at each corner she
found. After awhile she stopped running and just walked.
"Darn it, this whole freakin' castle is a maze."
she said
"Not unless you know your way around." said a
voice. Gatomon looked up and saw a familiar face.
"Demidevimon!" she said.
"So, you remember my name." he said, still
talking in that is-he-mocking-or-not tone. Gatomon decided to just ignore him
and continue on, but something he said stopped her.
"You're looking for your weapons, aren't you? 'Cuz if
you weren't you would've escaped by now. Don't you know how long it's been
since I let you out?"
"Do you know where my weapons are?" Gatomon
asked. She had meant to ask it rudely, but for some reason she didn't.
Demidevimon thought.
"I think you're going the right way. Yeah, just keep
going straight until you come up to a wall. There will be two hallways, one
going left, and the other going right. Take the right one, and the first door
on your right should be the room it's in." he said, helpfully.
"You sure?" asked Gatomon.
"Positive." he said. He continued on his way,
when Gatomon stopped him.
"Demidevimon, why are you helping me?" she
asked. Demidevimon turned around to look at her.
"Is there any reason why I shouldn't?" he asked,
flashing a half-smile. Gatomon looked down at the ground.
"Well, first of all, you are 'supposedly' my enemy
and second of all---" She looked up and saw he was gone. Gatomon just
stood there, staring at his direction.
What is with that
guy? she thought, Is he being a
traitor to Devimon? Is he playing his own "little game" here? Or is
he---? she shook her head.
"I've got stuff to do. I'll figure him out later,
but---" Gatomon said. She let out a stressful sigh and followed his
directions. She got to the room Demidevimon was talking about. She opened the door
and she found more than her weapons. It was a small library with shelves full
of old books. They must've been left by the previous owners of the castle,
Gatomon thought. She saw her claws and shoes on a table. She rushed over to
them and put them on.
It's about time
Gatomon thought as she flexed her fingers in the Cats Claw gloves.
"A-HA! So there you are!" cried a voice. Gatomon turned around and saw Ogremon at the entrance to the room. But this time, she wasn't afraid to fight.
