Shattered Realities
Ch.4
"What kind of place is this?" Kari shuddered as she looked around the scarred landscape. "It's what left of Networld." A small voice quirped from behind the group making them all jump and turn around sharply. "It's a honor to meet you in person." The strange purple cat said with a slight bow. "Hay it's the Digimon from Izzy's computer!" Yolei blurted out suddenly. "Didn't you say your name was Cartisamon?" T.K. said bending down to a closer height. "It's not safe to be out in the open like this. The ….umm…our protector is occupied at the moment. Follow me this way. There aren't many of us rebel left. Megalowmon destroyed almost everyone already. Only those of us luckily enough to find sanctuary in the temple are left now." Cartisamon straighten her blue robe nervously as the gang exchanged curious glances to one another before following her.
"Who is this protector you were talking about a minuet ago?" Ken asked Cartisamon curiously as they walked across the barren black desert. "We don't really know who he is really. Actually no one has ever seen him yet. He usually only comes out of his corridor at night when everyone asleep. We talk to him through his door most of the time. When theirs an emergency we knock on his door and tell him about it. He has a secret entrance we haven't found yet because we don't see him leave we just see what he has done afterwards. He won't tell anyone his name so most of us have taken to calling him Master." "Master." Codey said disdainfully. "He has everyone call him master, how self absorbed do you have to be to have everyone around you call you master if you protect those weaker than you." Catrisamon looked at Codey horror stricken. "Oh no he doesn't foce aney one to call him master! He wouldn't even care if we called him serendipity the high fairy queen. Everyone has just taken to calling him master because with out him we would all already be dead. Megalowmon destroyed all the food in the land exep for that he uses to feed his troops. Then he tainted all the water so drinking it would kill anyone not loyal to him. Our master has found all of us clean food and water. He has provided a sanctuary that Megalowmon's powers don't touch and he has done all of this out of the kindness of his heart! He also told us of the Digidestend and how power full they are and what they stand for. Without him we wouldn't even have any hope if we managed to survive Megalowmon's initial assault." Codey suddenly felt ashamed of what he said. "I'm sorry I guess I can see you point."
"Well, well what do we have here?" A sinister voice sneered suddenly. Everyone turned to see a large evil looking Digimon with about fifty Vilemon. "Who the heck is that?" Codey gasped staring at the giant armored elephant skeleton Digimon. "He's Skullmammothmon. He's a mega Digimon of gigantic proportions. He's big enough to win most fights simply by running over his enemies but if that weren't bad enough his spiral bone crusher attack will blow you out of the sky!" Cartisamon said with a slight squeak in her voice. "He's one of Megalowmon's top Generals." "Cartisamon who are the creatures traveling with you?" Skullmammothmon roared angrily totally ignoring everyone else. "Hay brick head you ever hear of the Digidestend?" Davis called out equally angrily. "Digidestend, really?" Skullmammothmon smiled darkly. "Megalowmon told us that the resistance was searching for them. Well…come on! Let's see how tough you really are!" "You got it Veemon Digivolve!" "Uhhh…Davis…I sort of been trying to Digivolve ever since he appeared. And I can't seem to do it at the moment." Veemon said sheepishly looking up at Davis.
Skullmammothmon laughed loudly. "You actually think that the great Megalowmon would let you Digivolve in this world. In this world his powers are absolute. All your Digimon are stuck at their rookie level! Oh by the way if you might want to think before armor Digivolve. Because then they'll be stuck at champion level and I am a mega Digimon or have you forgotten?" "May I suggest a tactical retreat?" Codey said shaking visibly. "A What?" Yolei said not really listening. "He means RUN!" Veemon shouted turning around and running at full force. "Great idea!" Cartisamon said as she began to out distance them all. "Hay don't loose us we sort of need you!" Davis called out to her. "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!" Skullmammothmon roared angrily. "Vilemon attack!" "We can handle the Vilemon if we armor Digivolve. Then they'll be out of the way at least." Kari nodded her agreement with Gatomon's remark. "Everyone we have to armor Digivolve it's our only chance!" Kari shouted to the rest of the group. Everyone but except Ken grabbed there D3's and shouted in unison "Digiarmor Energize!"
"Patamon Armordigivolve to…Pegasusmon flying hope."
"Gatomon Armordigivolve to…Nefertimon the angel of light."
"Veemon Armordigivolve to…Flamedramon the fire of courage."
"Hawkmon Armordigivolve to…Shurimon the samurai of sincerity."
"Armadillomon Armordigivolve to…Digmon the drill of knowledge."
The kids stopped as their Digimon launched themselves at the attacking hoards of Vilemon. "It's moments like this I wished I could Armordigivolve." Wormmon muttered. Cartisamon nudged Wormmon and smiled weirdly. "There isn't a rule saying only armored Digimon can fight in you world is there?" Wormmon smiled best he could at Cartisamon. "Your absolutely right!" With that Wormmon ran into battle with Cartisamon. As more and more Vilemon fell Skullmammothmon's expression grew angrier by the minuet. "Your army doesn't seem all that strong to me! Why I bet we could even take you on right now!" Davis gloated after all the Vilemon had been defeated. "Oh really!" Skullmammothmon roared charging forward and swinging his trunk viontley. Cartisamon pulled Wormmon out of the way at the last second while all the other Digimon weren't as lucky. Skullmammothmon landed a direct hit on all of them with a violent swipe of his trunk and sending them smashing into the ground.
