Compassionate Power- Part 5
"The temple..."
A huge, moss covered stone structure rose out of the forest. Several statues of Digimon stood framing the entrance, along with several intricate designs carved into the walls of the temple
"...It's huge!" Saiai stared in awe at the megalithic structure.
"Aye, lad," Thundramon hovered silently as he spoke. "This be the Temple of Ancients, a place where ancient Digimon were `onored. But over th'years, the place `as fallen into disrepair, and a bunch of strange Digimon moved in. We'd best be careful inside `ere, lad, `else we won't make it out alive."
"Right." Saiai rubbed the back of his head. "Well, no use just sittin' here looking at it. Let's go."
Inside, the temple was dark and damp, and there seemed to be things moving about them all the time. Luckily, Thundramon's horn gave off light, so they were at least partially able to see.
"Lad, I don't like the looks of this place."
"I know what you mean, Thundramon. This place gives me the creeps."
"Aye, let's just find the thing we're lookin' for and get out of `ere!"
"Thundramon, what's that?!"
A serpent-like Digimon rose itself into the air. "Ahh... Visssssitorsssss..."
"That be a Venomon! They be poisonous!" The flying dragon flew in front of Saiai. "Let me handle this, lad!"
The Venomon shook its head. "No, no... you misssssunderssssstand... I am here to guide you to my massssster..."
"Aye? And who might that be?"
"The ruler of thisssss temple... he can help you with your quesssst..."
"Hmmm." Thundramon turned to Saiai. "Well, what d'ya think, young `un? Should we trust the snake, or what?"
Saiai thought for a moment. "Well... He doesn't seem to be trying to trick us. I say we follow him."
Venomon bowed again. "Thank you. Pleasssssse, follow me..." He slithered down a corridor, with Saiai not far behind.
Thundramon followed at a distance. *I hope the lad knows what `e's doin'...*
"...Hello?..."
Tommon's body was floating through an infinity of blackness. He turned, but could see nothing.
"Hello? Where is everyone? ...Where am I?"
A tiny pinprick of light appeared in the distance. "What's that...?" Tommon began trying to float toward it, but it was no use. He tried several times, but it was impossible to change his position, other than turning around. Eventually the light faded.
.......z...z.zz.zz.zzz.zz.z.zzz.zzzzzzzzzz
"What's that?!" Tommon spun about. At first, there seemed to be nothing, but then he started picking up red flashes far in the distance. And they were getting closer.
zzzzzzzzZzzzzZzZZzZZzzZZZzZZZZ
As the red flashes grew closer, Tommon gradually began to make them out. *red... wings... teeth...* His eyes widened in horror as he realized what they were.
"Bats!!"
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
The maelstrom of bats grew ever closer, and so did the buzzing noise. Suddenly, they were around him, circling and striking with a malice that he had not believed possible. He tried to dodge them, but his attempts only seemed to make it worse. Eventually, he stopped fighting, and simply tried to block out the pain, the darkness, and the horrible noise.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ChaosDramon looked down upon his latest creation as it stirred. "Shademon! I hope you are feeling well!"
"Master..." Its voice sounded different. "What did the scale do, Master...?"
"Look in the pool and see for yourself."
It crawled over to the pool and looked in. The reflection was not of Shademon's, but something else's. It appeared to be a skeleton, wearing a black cloak. "What...?" The former Shademon felt the inside of the cloak, and discovered that several knives were concealed inside it.
"What... am... I...?"
ChaosDramon laughed horribly. "Shademon! I told you the scale would make you stronger! You are now Assassinmon, the darkest Digimon I have ever created!"
"Assassinmon..." The skeletal Digimon gripped a knife from inside his cloak. "I... am... Assassinmon...!! My mission... is to destroy...!!"
"Aha! That's the spirit, Assassinmon!"
Assassinmon turned and bowed to ChaosDramon. "Tell me my mission, Master... and I will destroy all that you wish...!!"
The Venomon led Saiai and Thundramon through a maze of corridors. Eventually, they reached a large door made of stone.
"My Massssster will sssssee you now..."
Saiai pushed on the door and it opened. "C'mon, Thundramon."
"A-aye..." They entered.
Inside was a huge hall lit by torches. At one end was a huge Digimon. It had a short, reptilian body, from which 17 necks sprouted. At the end of each one was a snakelike head with black eyes and a black marking in the middle of the forehead. The central head had a gem set in its head instead of a marking, and it was this head that spoke.
"GREETINGS, SEEKERS! I AM HYDRAMON, RULER OF THIS TEMPLE! STATE YOUR NAMES!"
Thundramon prodded Saiai forward. "Go on, lad."
Saiai cleared his throat and spoke. "G-greetings, Hydramon! I am Saiai, a Digidestined, and this is Thundramon."
The main head looked hard at the pair for a moment, then spoke. "I KNOW WHY YOU ARE HERE. YOU SEEK SOMETHING THAT WILL ALLOW YOUR FRIENDS TO BE REVIVED, CORRECT?"
Saiai nodded. "H-hai, Hydra-sama!"
The main head nodded. "A NOBLE CAUSE INDEED! VERY WELL. I SHALL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU SEEK, BUT ONLY ON ONE CONDITION!"
"W-what is that, Hydra-sama?"
"YOU MUST PASS A TEST TO PROVE YOU ARE WORTHY. ONLY THEN MAY YOU RECEIVE WHAT YOU SEEK."
Saiai nodded. "I shall try, Hydra-sama."
"WE SHALL PERFORM THE TEST! IT SHALL BE... THE RIDDLE GAME! SPHINXMON!"
A Digimon that looked much like the Egyptian Sphinx appeared. "Yes, Master?"
"YOU WILL FACE SAIAI IN THE RIDDLE GAME."
Sphinxmon nodded, then turned toward Saiai and grinned. "Oh, is THIS ever going to be fun!"
Saiai attempted to return the smile, but failed.
"THE GAME WILL START... NOW!"
Ken looked up at the sky. "Sigh..."
Wormmon walked up to him. "What's wrong, Ken?"
"Wormmon, did you ever have the feeling that you had no control over what happens around you?"
"Not really, why?"
"Well, it seems to me that, even though I try to help people, I'm always just missing the real chance. I mean, look at what happened when we tried to help the others in the fight against ChaosDramon. By the time we got there, everyone had been cursed by that little Digimon!"
"But Ken, look on the bright side. You kept that Saiai person from being cursed, and now he's off finding a cure for our friends."
"I know, I know. I still feel like I really could've done something, I should've been there to help!"
"Ken, you know it wasn't your fault. Your mom needed you to clean your room before you went anywhere. And besides, even if you were there, what would you have done? Gotten cursed like everyone else?"
"Ken, you need to stop thinking about the past! You're always saying how you could've done something before but didn't. Well, right now you can do something! You can stop thinking what if and start thinking what next. I mean, any moment an evil Digimon could come and try to attack our friends! You need to be ready for stuff like that!"
Ken blinked and looked at Wormmon.
"...I'm sorry, Ken. I don't usually go and burst out like that."
Ken grinned and rubbed his partner's head. "It's ok, Wormmon. Your little speech really cheered me up. From now on, no more feeling sorry for myself, I promise!"
Wormmon smiled and waved his hands in the air. "Hooray for Ken!"
Jijimon walked up the path to his house. "Woah there! Why all the celebration, Wormmon?"
"Ken's decided to stop acting sorry for himself!"
"Oh, really?" Jijimon turned towards Ken. "Well, then, I congratulate you, Ken! You've come a step closer to understanding yourself."
Ken nodded. "Arigato, Jiji-sama."
"Anyway," said Jijimon, hopping into his chair, "How's holding the fort going?"
"Pretty well. We've seen neither hide nor hair of ChaosDramon or Shademon."
"Really..." Jijimon sat back in his chair and spoke no more.
"Alright, Saiai," Sphinxmon said, grinning. "Since it's just the beginning of the game, I'll give you my classic one. What has four legs at morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night?"
"Humans."
"Dang. That one was TOO easy."
"Right, let's see... Present, Past, Future, all are one, and see as one."
"Nyahahah!" Sphinxmon grinned. "Best not give me ones like that again! The fates!"
"Dern."
"K, my turn!" Sphinxmon thought for a moment, then spoke. "Twin fliers are the eyes and ears, but in reality, he has only one of one."
Saiai blinked. "Uhm... one of one... Aha, Odin!"
"Grrr."
"Uhm... I got one! Lived in light, lives in darkness, seeks the precious, doom is his doom."
"Nyahaha! That's easy, Gollum!"
"What?! How'd you know that?!"
"Hey, you're not the only one who reads Tolkien, my friend! Anyway, `nother riddle: 3 of eyes, toes, fingers, horns."
"Easy one! Oni!"
"Arrgh! I should've guessed you were an Otaku!"
"K, now... Endless, full of light and darkness and neither."
"Space."
"I knew I should've gave you a harder one..."
"Nyahah! Right, here's what'll stop you! Mists, river, holes, flow of, twisted, rips in, beginning and end of."
"Flow of WHAT?"
"That's what you need to guess!"
"Uh..."
"Hurry up! I haven't got all day!"
Saiai thought hard. *I've heard a riddle similar to this one before... Where was it? School? Mythology? Where? Time's running out! ...Time? That's it!*
"Time!"
"What!? You actually got it?!"
"Well, you did use the most cliché'd riddle answer of all."
"Grrrrr..."
"Now, it's time to stop you!" Saiai thought for a while, then looked about the room. *...Of course!*
"Holds, breaks, shakes, cracks, rolls, makes."
"Uhm... Give me a second!" Sphinxmon thought for a long time. Then he remembered that Saiai had looked about the room before he gave the riddle. *...Of course!*
"Stone!"
Saiai grinned. "Earth."
"WHAT?! No way! You cheated!"
"SPHINXMON!" Hydramon's voice suddenly boomed out. "YOU HAVE LOST, FAIR AND SQUARE. I WAS READING BOTH YOUR MINDS, AND HE WAS THINKING EARTH. NOW, BEGONE, BEFORE I DECIDE TO MAKE YOU LEAVE MYSELF!"
"Y-yes, Hydra-Sama!" Sphinxmon vanished.
"CONGRATULATIONS, SAIAI!" Hydramon's main head seemed to smile. "YOU HAVE EARNED WHAT YOU SEEK!" The head stretched up onto a small platform high above the ground and grabbed something with its mouth. It then lowered back down and dropped something. "HERE!"
Saiai walked up to the object and held it up. It was a small pendant made of stone. In the middle were two markings similar to the shape of Thundramon's wings. On the edges, there were several runes inscribed.
"Lad! LAD!" Thundramon flew over. "Put that `round my neck! I feel power comin' from it!"
"Uh, ok." Saiai put the pendant around Thundramon's neck. It started glowing.
"Aye, I feel it! I feel the power! Thundramon Digivolve too-"
In Thundramon's place, a small pink-furred dragon with a red crest appeared. He had the same silver wings Thundramon had, and his tail now had a small leaf-like end to it. He had managed to grow arms, and in one of them he held a spear adorned with streamers. His eyes, which were black, sparkled as he shouted his name.
"Pixidramon! Sugoi!" The tiny dragon grinned.
"Wow, Kawaii!" Saiai looked at the tiny Dragon, smiling.
"Saiai, thank you! I feel like my old self again! C'mon, grab onto my tail, I'll get us out of here!"
"Ok..." Saiai grabbed on to PixiDramon's tail.
"Alright, hold on! Fairy Wind!" A powerful wind surrounded Pixidramon and Saiai. They flew straight up and through the roof. Hydramon winced at the sound of them going through the roof.
"MAYBE GIVING THEM THAT PENDANT WASN'T SUCH A GOOD IDEA..."
"Archnemon! There's a Digimon! Maybe we can ask him directions!"
"Finally, you've gotten a good idea, Mummymon! Hello there, can you tell us how to get out of this cave?"
The Digimon they were talking to was a small Digimon with huge eyes, three tails, and a small body.
"...Baka."
"What?! What did you just call me?!"
"Baka. Bakabakabaka." The Digimon stood up.
"Mummymon, this little freak keeps calling me a baka!"
"I think that's his name, mistress?"
"What gives you that idea?"
"Baka!" The Bakamon hit his head off the cave wall. He then gathered some pebbles and began eating them.
"...Ok, you have a point."
"Saiai! You've returned!" Jijimon walked out to meet him. "And this is Pixidramon, I bear it?"
"Yep yep!" The kawaii dragon nodded. "Should I heal them now?"
"If you please."
"K." Pixidramon flew inside.
"So, Saiai, things went well at the temple?"
"My head hurts from making riddles."
"Ah, yes, Sphinxmon... I had to go there, a long time ago. When I was just a boy, in fact."
"Really?"
"Hai. I had to get something in order to help a friend of mine too."
"What was that?"
"This!" Jijimon held up a pendant. It looked much like PixiDramon's, except that it had different runes. The marking in the center was also different. It was shaped like a hexagon with two squares on each end.
"Another pendant?"
"Hai. I've had this a long time, I have." Jijimon looked at the pendant, then at Saiai. "Saiai, I want you to have this."
"What?!"
"I sense that you'll need it sometime soon. Please, keep it safe `til then, will you?"
"Well, I guess..." Saiai took the pendant and put it around Thundramon's neck.
"Good. Pixidramon should be done with your friends now, they should be waking up."
"Really?!" Saiai ran in. Jijimon looked towards the sky.
*Eager youngster. He'll go far, if he can manage to defeat ChaosDramon. I dearly hope he can, yes I do...*
A/N: `Nother part done. ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ And cat! =^-^=
Next part's THE LAST ONE!! It's the final battle between the Digidestined and ChaosDramon! (Not to mention Assassinmon!) And, what you people have (hopefully) all been waiting for...
THE BIG SAIKO SCENE!
Horisu no Saiai out! ^-^'
