-----Chapter 2: Foot 1-----



We stepped out into the blinding daylight. I stood blind for a few moments as my eyes adjusted to the intensity of the sun. We my vision was clear I saw what looked like rubble. There was trees fallen, walls, and fences everywhere. No one was around. It was an eerie felling. Things were lying in heaps of rubble like someone had trashed what had been here before. "Koromon," said my friend. He took tree steps forward and looked around. "Wow, this place is empty," I said with a low voice, "I thought koromon would be everywhere."

"No master, they are hiding, maybe sleeping, we must get across the field as quickly as possible," he exclaimed. We both quietly creped across the rubble, careful not to make a sound. As we were walking along I asked "Devimon, why can't we just fly across the field?"

"NO!!!! WE MUSN'T," he shouted so loud that it hurt my ears, and a flock of birds escaped from their resting place in a nearby oak tree. "Sorr~~~y for asking then," I said quite annoyed. I knew better than to ask him so we just kept plodding along. I would estimate we were about half- way across the field when I heard something rustle a nearby bush. "Oh Shit, I think I no what that is," and to my horror a koromon popped from under the bush. "Devimon, what do we do?" I asked frightened.

"We fight, with our hearts," he replied. My friend then threw one of his arms from its resting place and it came out like a spring. The arm drew closer and then snatched the little devil. He squeezed the koromon with the sharp nails that my pal had. He held that position of squeezing as I watched in awe. Finally the little demon turned blue then purple, and then He popped into a bloody mess. "Devimon, I di-didn't know that they were so easily defeated," I was saying with shock, "if only we had gone sooner and I had not held-"

"It's too late now, just forget it." My pal then prepared himself to absorb the koromon's data. He completed his ritual and said "That data didn't feel right, wait..something is happening somet-," he fell to the floor with chocking spasms. He was shaking violently like he was having a seizure. "DEVIMON, WH_WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!," I screamed. He was shaking very badly, I tried to stop him but he was too big and I was thrown against a fence. I heard rattling and then a group of about ten koromon showed up. "Oh SHIT," I cried in panic. I quickly threw myself up and was thinking what to do next. The koromon looked mad and they were coming closer. Meanwhile my friend was still shaking. I thought of something and decided to test, "HERE IT GOES!" yelled me, and then I ran towards the koromon with blazing speed. I flung my arms around like a wild monkey? Heh. Anyways, I threw my arms at one and knocked it against a wall. "AAHHHH, SHIT, IT BURNSS!" I cried in pain. My arm felt like it was on fire. I went crazy, trying to put the "fire" out. In the process of my wild antics I managed to kick a few koromon. I heard screams and saw blood everywhere. The koromon guts were covering my body. Of course this caused more pain. I picked up a lead pipe lying on the floor and started bashing things. Some more unlucky koromon got into my way. But I accidentally hit Devimon, which stopped him from shaking. "What the Hell you do that for?" he woke up grumpily "Master are you alright~~?" He smashed the remaining koromon and stopped me. I was standing there much shaken. "Master are yo-", he started. Then everything went black.

I woke up, who knows how much later, and I found myself in my lair. "Wha-what happened?" I asked.

"The koromon guts burned you, it was a pretty site. I killed the remaining koromon and carried you back to the lair. I am making a cure-all potion right now form the herbs I found outside," he explained.

"My head hurts," I grumbled. I got up and walked around. Then I heard a voice from nowhere sound, "One foot completed," it said mysteriously.

"Devimon, why the F**k did it say that," I said very angrily. He got up to try and prepare and answer. "Well~~~, ok, koromon wasn't the only part of the curse, there are other things," he said quietly, "One we are trapped here until the koromon are defeated. After we defeat all the new koromon, we may move forward one foot. We can travel more than one foot but, we can't really. As you know there are 20 feet out there. So, we have 19 more feet to go and 19 more groups of koromon to defeat."

"Shit," then I blacked out again.
