Chapter 5:
The Final
Order
Shawn returned to Myotismon close to being late. When he got there he had two days left. "I see, you kept your promise." Myotismon said as Shawn came before him. "Yes, and I bring a gift." Shawn said as he held the crest he had out to Myotismon. "Interesting, I must study what it is. Go to your room, you can stay there for two days and then for two extra for this grand gift you bring. me." Myotismon said as he left for his study. "Yes, sir." Shawn said as he went to his room.
Many digiworld years passed and Myotismon had found the crest was the Crest of Light, one of the more powerful crests. Also Myotismon began to study more about the legends of the digidestineds. Also Myotismon found the legend of the eighth child. It had to do with the legend of the seven digidestined children who would come and destroy Devimon and other evil digimon. The legend stated an eighth digidestined child existed and the crest of Light was that child's crest. Shawn never understood how digimon came up with these legends. For one, other digidestineds existed before these ones. Ones that even came before Shawn, Seth, Katie, and the other children from the excavation site. Shawn knew they also were because of the legend of the Destined Ones. The legends Myotismon was studying were those of the Chosen Children. Shawn knew exactly who these Chosen Children were. They were the children whoose profiles he saw, of which his brother was one. One day Myotismon came upon a fainted salamon. He brought it to his castle and took care of it. Shawn knew why Myotismon was doing this, Myotismon would make the salamon his minion. When the salamon woke and saw Myotismon it looke dat Myotismon with rebellious eyes, which Myotismon saw as a sign the salamon would turn against him. It agreed to serve Myotismon, and after some training Myotismon turned her over to Shawn to finish training.
"This is the Dark Prince of Destiny, he will train you. He is also your commander. What he says you will do, even if it may not be something I said, the Dark Prince knows much about battle tactics and other things." Myotismon told her then left. "Tell me, Salamon, what were you doing before Myotismon brought you here?" Shawn asked. "I was looking for someone." she answered. "Hmm, I doubt you would have found the someone. Now, why don't you rest. Unlike Myotismon, I am much kinder to those I command." Shawn said as he left to let her rest.
Over a few more years Salamon became stronger and somehow naturally digivolved to her champion form, Gatomon. She was strong for a champion digimon of her size. She was small but powerful. They had worked together in many missions and became friends. And Shawn enjoyed how she would make fun of DemiDevimon almost every chance. She had one bad thing to her, she was totally obedient to Myotismon. One time she had refused to do something for Myotismon and he attacked her leaving a scar on her paw in the shape of an X. But it didn't show because she had tiger claw gloves. By now Shawn sensed the Chosen Children would be coming soon, but he wasn't sure when.
Myotismon one day called Shawn, Gatomon, Phantomon, and a few other of his minions to his throne room. "I want you all to go and capture Central Village for me to rule over." Myotismon told them. "Central Village.." Shawn said as he remembered what he was told about it. It used to be a grand city till it was destroyed. Now it was an old run down village. "Yes, Master Myotismon." all but Shawn said. "Do you have a problem, Dark Prince?" Myotismon asked him. "No, sir. We shall capture this village for you." Shawn said as he left and went to his room, where he packed all his belongings. He knew this would be his last mission for Myotismon. Only he still had been told by Myotismon he still had two more monthes. "It's time...." Shawn said as he hurried and e-mailed Genni what he was gpoing to do.
The next morning Shawn and Myotismon's grand army, except for DemiDevimon, left for the Central village area. It took five days but they made it there. Shawn told the army to rest for the rest of the day while he thought of what he'd do. He thought mostly of what could happen. But was side tracked as thoughts of his digimon and Merlimon came to him. "I'll avenge both of you, old friends, when the time is right." Shawn said to himself then went to bed.
Fangmon was asleep in his hut guarded by two magemon. Suddenly a gekomon ran in. "Fangmon, Myotismon's troops are here and Genni sent word the Digidestined of Destiny would be here by now!" the gekomon yelled. "No need to worry, Myotismon will not get this village. Even if his troops attack." Fangmon calmly told the gekomon as he got up. "But...but..." the gekomon said as he left.
Shawn stood ontop the hill above the village. Gatomon stood behind him wondering what he thinking. "Master Myotismon told us to take over this village, Dark Prince. So why are we just standing here?" Gatomon ask sarcasticly. "I will go down there alone, don't follow me. I will talk to the guardian of this village. I do not want to harm any digimon I don't have to." Shawn said as he walked down the hill towards the village.
Shawn came to the gate of the village where three magemon guarded. "You're the Dark Prince! What do you want?" one asked. "I wish to speak to the guardian." Shawn said as he stood patiently. "Let him in." Fangmon's voice came. The gate opened and Shawn walked in. Fangmon stood infront of him. "Welcome Dark Prince of Destiny." he said as he motioned Shawn to the center of the village. "Why are you letting me in so easily?" Shawn said as he followed. "Genni has told me you were coming. I know you are the Digi-destined of Destiny, friend to the Digi-destined of Justice who also is a Dark Prince." Fangmon said making Shawn gasped. "Many Dark Princes turn out to be good beings. I, too, in the past was a Dark Prince until Deamon had Draculmon and DarkGreymon destroy me." Fangmon said as he stopped and two magemon guards came and stood on each side of Fangmon. "You're...you're the Dark Prince of Sorrow, the first Dark Prince of Deamon, you're Lord Vampiremon!" Shawn said with great surprise. "Yes, I am Vampiremon, only I'm one stage below it. Now, I know Myotismon wants this village and he won't get it because you'll destroy it." Fangmon said surprising Shawn. "What!" Shawn screamed. "If you don't, you'll have failed your two masters, Genni and myself, and your digimon." Fangmon said as he made Shawn realize who he really would fail the most. "For all I know he could be here." Shawn said as he looked up at the sky. "He's not here and the only way to prove it is to do what has to be done. Magemon, attack him." Fangmon said as he motioned the two digimon. "Magical Disks!" the two digimon said as they sent disks of energy at Shawn. Suddenly anger flared up in him and his eyes glowed red making them visible in the hood he wore. "Firestorm and Total Destruction!" he yelled as he sent fire blast at them and caused a great explosion destroying the village and all but him in it. Fangmon's body layed on the ground. "You have done well, even though I was not much of a Master and this being the first time we've met, I am proud of you. Genni has taught you well." Fangmon said as he turned to digital dust and disappeared. For a brief moment Shawn saw in the sky which was now red, Vampiremon. Shawn then started to cry. As the tears rolled down his face and out of the hood Shawn finally understood what real sadness was. He then walked away prepared to tell Myotismon he had to destroy the village.
Just as Shawn attacked on the opposite hill from where Myotismon's army was a Morphamon stopped. "He's here....Finally I have the courage, Shawn. I'm here to help you." he said as he started down the hill towards the village. But as he got a quarter down he saw the explosion and flames. The explosion came and hit him. He was sent into the air and flew many miles from the area. The explosion did more than that though, it had enough power in it that it energized Morphamon causing him to digivolve. As he glowed he had a dream. He stood before SkullMerlimon. "Morphamon, you must know the pain you have shall increase more than you can handle, so I now make all your memories dormant to you for now. I shall help guard you. And when you meet Shawn again, you may not be conscience to it, but my data will be sent to his laptop and you will no longer carry me, and then even though you won't know him you will lose the pain inside and when the time is right you will remember everything." SkullMerlimon told him. "But when?" Morphamon asked but was stopped as SkullMerlimon waved his hand and caused Morphamon to lose his memories. As he stopped glowing he woke in his champuion form, Wizardmon. He only remembered that he had fallen from the sky. But he wandered the area he was now in aimleesly without a reason.
"You, idiot! I wanted the village, and you destroyed it!" Myotismon yelled at Shawn. "I had no choise." Shawn told him. "Yes, you did. Even if the magemon attacked you, you could have only destroyed them and the guardian." Myotismon scolded. "Sir, he only wanted to take the village peacefully, not by force, only so no innocents would die." Gatomon explained to try and calm Myotismon. "That village had powers I could have used to destroy the digidestineds!" Myotismon yelled revealing his true plans. "I think not, I'm glad now I destroyed it." Shawn yelled surprising Myotismon and all the other in the throne room. "What do you mean by that?!" Myotismon asked. "What do you think, oh and your black sphere is useless now, I have overpowered it. Now, Myotismon, I leave your control now only as a Dark Prince but also as a digidestined!" Shawn yelled as he put his hood down so all of Myotismon's minions could see what Shawn was. "He...he's human!" Gatomon and a few others yelled. "If you think you can just leave, you are right. You can, but I will come after you when my army is stronger and then I'll destroy you, then the rest of your fellow digidestineds!" Myotismon yelled as he did a Grisly Wing at Shawn. Shawn dodged and flew and grabbed his pack and bag of belongings, then flew out of the castle.
Shawn flew for days and stopped at a small cave. He went to sleep there with his hood on. After a few hours he was awaken by something. "Get out of there, evil one, for I want this cave." a voice came. Shawn walked outside to find a wizardmon charging on his staff a beam of energy. "Leave!" it yelled. "I have a rght to rest here." Shawn said to it. Suddenly a small cluster of data went from the wizardmon to Shawn's laptop, but neither od them noticed. "Die, then! Magical Game!" the wizardmon yelled sending the beam from his staff. Shawn dodged and sent a Dark Prince beam at the wizardmon but it only seemed to recharge it. So Shawn flew at it and knocked it out. When it landed it got up and dashed at Shawn knocking him to the ground and making his hood come off. "Impossible...ahhhh!" it yelled trying to attack but it kept on stopping itself, "Why can't I come to attack it." After minutes of this the wizardmon just flew away into the distance. "What just happened?" Shawn asked. "Easy, to answer, holoport activate." a voice came from his laptop, then a hologram of SkullMerlimon appeared. "You!" Shawn yelled. "I'm sorry, Shawn, but that wizardmon was Morphamon..." SkullMerlimon told him. "You mean......how?" Shawn asked. "The explosion.." he began to say. "Oh..." Shawn said interupting. "You probaly realize how I got to your laptop." SkullMerlimon said. "Wizardmon...You must have quit working for Draculmon then." Shawn said moments later. "Yes. Maybe you should rest. Holoport deactivate." he said then the hologram disappeared.
The next morning Shawn woke to the sound of splashing water. "What was that?" Shawn asked. "Go check." SkullMerlimon's voice came from his laptop. Shawn then grabbed his belongings and ran towards the noise. As Shawn came out of the forest he came to a giant ocean and a seadramon of some kind fighting divermon and a skeleton beast four to five meters out. "Ahhh, SkullSeadramon, you won't defeat me so easy.." the seadramon yelled as it did an attack called tidal force to the divermon. "MagnaSeadramon, you fool. I shall destroy you. Skull Cannon!" SkullSeadramon yelled as it formed a beam in its mouth and sent it at the magnaseadramon, as it had been identified. "Ahh!" MagnaSeadramon screamed as he was hit. "Now this ocean area is mine. Ahahahaha! The Undersea Lab area Guardian is defeated!" SkullSeadramon yelled out laughing. "I don't think so, I challenge you!" Shawn yelled. "Who's there? Huh?!? A human!" SkullSeadramon yelled as he saw Shawn standing on the beach. "I will not let you take this area from that magnaseadramon!" Shawn said as he flew out and landed on a rock sticking out of the ocean. "Wait, if you're a human how did you fly over here?" SkullSeadramon asked surprised. "I'm a Dark Prince...Dark Prince beam and Firestorm!" Shawn said as he sent the beam and fiery attack at the skeleton seadramon. "Ahh, impossible. Err, but I can't match this human right now. I will be back, Dark Prince, to destroy you." SkullSeadramon said as he rushed away into the distance. "Thank you. I am in your debt." MagnaSeadramon said from behind him. "I was only helping you. I thought being he said you're a guardian, this area was important." Shawn said turning to face the digimon. "You are truely generous. I wish to serve as one of your servants or minions and all who help me guard this area also are." MagnaSeadramon said then groups of digimon came up from unser the ocean. "We are at your servise, Dark Prince." they all, including MagnaSeadramon, said bowing. "Thank you, if I ever need you, I will call for you." Shawn said as he flew back to the beach. "Allow me to escort you." a digimon known as hydromon said. "No, I will be fine. Till I need you or we meet sometime soon." Shawn said as he picked up his stuff and walked back into the forest.
"So tell me, what am I suppose to do, SkullMerlimon? I mean, Genni's home is near here but Katie wouldn't be there. She's probaly with the kid Nicholli she told me about." Shawn said eating the sandwich he had bought from the diner he was now sitting in. "Well, by what you tell me, I think you should find her, Nicholli, and Seth. Then decide what the four of you can do. I can only advise. The power of the crest of Nightmares is gone. It was destroyed years ago and now that I'm only data, I can only transfer to computers or another crest." SkullMerlimon said as his holographic projection sat down across from Shawn. "Excuse me, but you have to pay your bill." a digimon called digitanamon, who owned the diner, said. "Here is one hundred twenty digidollars." Shawn said giving the money to the egg-like digimon. "Ahhh, thats more than I wanted, but money is money." he said taking the money then rushing into the kitchen. "He can keep the change." Shawn said as he sat back and drank the glass of soda he had. "I think we should wait till tomorrow to go looking for them." SkullMerlimon suggested. "Oh, sure put off finding me. Don't listen to this hologram, Shawn, he'd probaly put off finding the key to his house." Seth's voice came from behind them. "Seth! Thiefmon!" Shawn said turning to look at his friend. "Well, if you want to find Katie, she found that Nicholli guy and went to the northern area." Seth said as he sat next to his friend. "Then we got a long trip." Shawn said. "No, because they are coming back in a week. So its just enough time for us to celebrate you're resigning of working for Myotismon." Seth said as he sat back eith his hands behind his head. "Seth, to celebrate organize a way to stop the evil digimon that have been coming around lately." Thiefmon said eating a couple nuts from a bowl on the table. "How would we do that?" Seth asked. "Simple, Dark Prince of Justice, make an Empire." a voice came from nowhere. "Shadowmon, what are you doing here?" Seth asked as a digimon appeared. "I have come to tell you my offer still stands." the digimon said as it stood infront of them. "Ok, ok. You can work for me, but none of this master stuff, if you have to call someone that....Shawn can have that job." Seth said as he looked at Shadowmon. "An Empire...sounds good to me. Lets calle it....the Dark Prince Empire! I mean both of us are Dark Princes." Shawn told Seth. "Yeah, lets do it!" Seth said as they all left the diner.
"Ummm, ok. I can get a few things for you, but to be a force of any kind in digiworld you need an area." Genni said with a look of surprise. "I have the forest villa area." Seth said thinking of where he had control. "Let see, I have the Undersea Lab area, Central Village and former City area, SkullMerlimon's Ancient castle area, and somehow I think I have control of Aeromon's area." Shawn said amazing Seth and Genni. "I knew about the Ancient castle and Central area, because Vampiremon said you could have it, before he died. But I never knew SkullMerlimon had it and you got the Undersea Lab and Aeromon's area." Genni told Shawn. "Guess, I got lucky." Shawn said. "Ok, so what can you give us?" Seth asked. "I have four subs I can give you now I know you have the undersea lab, a few books, charts and maps, a fleet of mechaknorimon, and best of all a Conquer class Flying Fortress." Genni told them giving them a surprise with the last item. "A Flying Fortress!" Seth yelled overjoyed. "Well, where is the stuff?" Shawn asked. "The subs are already at the undersea lab, the books, charts and maps are on the flying fortress and so are the mechaknorimon." Genni told them. "And the Flying Fortress?" Seth asked. "That is at the Ancient Castle. Though it's hidden. So, SkullMerlimon probaly doesn't know where it is." Genni said as he got back to what he was doing before. "Then to the Ancient Castle! Oh and, Genni, tell Katie and that Nicholli guy to come there when then get here." Seth said as he left. "Don't worry I will." Genni said working.
After days of walking they came to the Ancient Castle. Everything was open by no one was there. It was said to be haunted, but Shawn and Seth could handle it probaly. Inside they found a few groups of bakemon. They didn't attack as Shawn and they others entered. "Strange why aren't they attacking?" Seth asked. "We do not wish to. We know you own this area. So we are here to serve you willingly." one of the bakemon told them. "Ok, then can you tell us about this place and some of its hideen stuff?" Shawn asked. "No, all secret and hidden areas of this castle we can't get into." the bakemon explained. "Well, then I guess we got some searching to do, Seth." Shawn said as he put his laptop on a table. "I know the location of every secret and hidden area. But one I could never find, and the flying fortress area is sealed off. I have seen it, Genni was wrong about that. It's at a loading dock outside. but the doorway there is locked and the key is in the room I couldn't find." SkullMerlimon explained as he brought up a map of the castle and location of the door to the loading dock area. "We should get some rooms here so we can rest later." Seth said as he looked at the map. "I got this room here that has two rooms seperated by a door!" Shawn said as he ran up some stairs passed a library area to the location of the room.
After an hour Shawn had the room to his liking. The curtains over the window was dark and made it so only low light came into the room. Seth had the room across the hall. Seth's likings were slightly different from Shawn's, mainly because Seth had his closet full of clothes he had been given by Genni via a special dvise that could be used to bring online orders to we they were. So Seth had his closet full of clothes, while Shawn had one or two suits, some plain clothes, three pairs of shoes, and his dark prince robe. Also Thiefmon had a small corner of his style in Seth's room. After a few more hours of exploring the floor their rooms were on, Shawn and Seth felt tired and returned to their rooms to sleep.
Shadowmon sat in the messhall of the castle, as Shawn and Seth called it mainly because that was really what it looked like. He was sitting next to SkullMelrimon's hologram. "Do you think they can protect digiworld?" Shadowmon asked. "Not alone, but with help yes, just maybe." SkullMerlimon said as he sent information to the Undersea Lab, which was being watched at that moment by Hydromon. After a few minutes SkullMerlimon turned the link to the Undersea Lab off because he was sending information. "The Undersea Lab knows all it needs to know. And after a few monthes I think Shawn and Seth will offically have the Dark Prince Empire organized." SkullMelrimon said as he turned his hologram off. "Yes, and soon enough we will encounter powers that we most face or be destroyed." Shadowmon said as he left.

You can, but I will come after you when my army is stronger and then I'll destroy you, then the rest of your fellow digidestineds!" Myotismon yelled as he did a Grisly Wing at Shawn.

So Shawn flew at it and knocked it out. When it landed it got up and dashed at Shawn knocking him to the ground and making his hood come off. "Impossible...ahhhh!" it yelled trying to attack but it kept on stopping itself, "Why can't I come to attack it." After minutes of this the wizardmon just flew away into the distance. "What just happened?" Shawn asked. "Easy, to answer, holoport activate." a voice came from his laptop, then a hologram of SkullMerlimon appeared. "You!" Shawn yelled. "I'm sorry, Shawn, but that wizardmon was Morphamon..." SkullMerlimon told him. "You mean......how?" Shawn asked. "The explosion.." he began to say. "Oh..." Shawn said interupting. "You probaly realize how I got to your laptop." SkullMerlimon said. "Wizardmon...You must have quit working for Draculmon then." Shawn said moments later. "Yes. Maybe you should rest. Holoport deactivate." he said then the hologram disappeared.
The next morning Shawn woke to the sound of splashing water. "What was that?" Shawn asked. "Go check." SkullMerlimon's voice came from his laptop. Shawn then grabbed his belongings and ran towards the noise. As Shawn came out of the forest he came to a giant ocean and a seadramon of some kind fighting divermon and a skeleton beast four to five meters out. "Ahhh, SkullSeadramon, you won't defeat me so easy.." the seadramon yelled as it did an attack called tidal force to the divermon. "MagnaSeadramon, you fool. I shall destroy you. Skull Cannon!" SkullSeadramon yelled as it formed a beam in its mouth and sent it at the magnaseadramon, as it had been identified. "Ahh!" MagnaSeadramon screamed as he was hit. "Now this ocean area is mine. Ahahahaha! The Undersea Lab area Guardian is defeated!" SkullSeadramon yelled out laughing. "I don't think so, I challenge you!" Shawn yelled. "Who's there? Huh?!? A human!" SkullSeadramon yelled as he saw Shawn standing on the beach. "I will not let you take this area from that magnaseadramon!" Shawn said as he flew out and landed on a rock sticking out of the ocean. "Wait, if you're a human how did you fly over here?" SkullSeadramon asked surprised. "I'm a Dark Prince...Dark Prince beam and Firestorm!" Shawn said as he sent the beam and fiery attack at the skeleton seadramon. "Ahh, impossible. Err, but I can't match this human right now. I will be back, Dark Prince, to destroy you." SkullSeadramon said as he rushed away into the distance. "Thank you. I am in your debt." MagnaSeadramon said from behind him. "I was only helping you. I thought being he said you're a guardian, this area was important." Shawn said turning to face the digimon. "You are truely generous. I wish to serve as one of your servants or minions and all who help me guard this area also are." MagnaSeadramon said then groups of digimon came up from unser the ocean. "We are at your servise, Dark Prince." they all, including MagnaSeadramon, said bowing. "Thank you, if I ever need you, I will call for you." Shawn said as he flew back to the beach. "Allow me to escort you." a digimon known as hydromon said. "No, I will be fine. Till I need you or we meet sometime soon." Shawn said as he picked up his stuff and walked back into the forest.
"So tell me, what am I suppose to do, SkullMerlimon? I mean, Genni's home is near here but Katie wouldn't be there. She's probaly with the kid Nicholli she told me about." Shawn said eating the sandwich he had bought from the diner he was now sitting in. "Well, by what you tell me, I think you should find her, Nicholli, and Seth. Then decide what the four of you can do. I can only advise. The power of the crest of Nightmares is gone. It was destroyed years ago and now that I'm only data, I can only transfer to computers or another crest." SkullMerlimon said as his holographic projection sat down across from Shawn. "Excuse me, but you have to pay your bill." a digimon called digitanamon, who owned the diner, said. "Here is one hundred twenty digidollars." Shawn said giving the money to the egg-like digimon. "Ahhh, thats more than I wanted, but money is money." he said taking the money then rushing into the kitchen. "He can keep the change." Shawn said as he sat back and drank the glass of soda he had. "I think we should wait till tomorrow to go looking for them." SkullMerlimon suggested. "Oh, sure put off finding me. Don't listen to this hologram, Shawn, he'd probaly put off finding the key to his house." Seth's voice came from behind them. "Seth! Thiefmon!" Shawn said turning to look at his friend. "Well, if you want to find Katie, she found that Nicholli guy and went to the northern area." Seth said as he sat next to his friend. "Then we got a long trip." Shawn said. "No, because they are coming back in a week. So its just enough time for us to celebrate you're resigning of working for Myotismon." Seth said as he sat back eith his hands behind his head. "Seth, to celebrate organize a way to stop the evil digimon that have been coming around lately." Thiefmon said eating a couple nuts from a bowl on the table. "How would we do that?" Seth asked. "Simple, Dark Prince of Justice, make an Empire." a voice came from nowhere. "Shadowmon, what are you doing here?" Seth asked as a digimon appeared. "I have come to tell you my offer still stands." the digimon said as it stood infront of them. "Ok, ok. You can work for me, but none of this master stuff, if you have to call someone that....Shawn can have that job." Seth said as he looked at Shadowmon. "An Empire...sounds good to me. Lets calle it....the Dark Prince Empire! I mean both of us are Dark Princes." Shawn told Seth. "Yeah, lets do it!" Seth said as they all left the diner.
"Ummm, ok. I can get a few things for you, but to be a force of any kind in digiworld you need an area." Genni said with a look of surprise. "I have the forest villa area." Seth said thinking of where he had control. "Let see, I have the Undersea Lab area, Central Village and former City area, SkullMerlimon's Ancient castle area, and somehow I think I have control of Aeromon's area." Shawn said amazing Seth and Genni. "I knew about the Ancient castle and Central area, because Vampiremon said you could have it, before he died. But I never knew SkullMerlimon had it and you got the Undersea Lab and Aeromon's area." Genni told Shawn. "Guess, I got lucky." Shawn said. "Ok, so what can you give us?" Seth asked. "I have four subs I can give you now I know you have the undersea lab, a few books, charts and maps, a fleet of mechaknorimon, and best of all a Conquer class Flying Fortress." Genni told them giving them a surprise with the last item. "A Flying Fortress!" Seth yelled overjoyed. "Well, where is the stuff?" Shawn asked. "The subs are already at the undersea lab, the books, charts and maps are on the flying fortress and so are the mechaknorimon." Genni told them. "And the Flying Fortress?" Seth asked. "That is at the Ancient Castle. Though it's hidden. So, SkullMerlimon probaly doesn't know where it is." Genni said as he got back to what he was doing before. "Then to the Ancient Castle! Oh and, Genni, tell Katie and that Nicholli guy to come there when then get here." Seth said as he left. "Don't worry I will." Genni said working.
After days of walking they came to the Ancient Castle. Everything was open by no one was there. It was said to be haunted, but Shawn and Seth could handle it probaly. Inside they found a few groups of bakemon. They didn't attack as Shawn and they others entered. "Strange why aren't they attacking?" Seth asked. "We do not wish to. We know you own this area. So we are here to serve you willingly." one of the bakemon told them. "Ok, then can you tell us about this place and some of its hideen stuff?" Shawn asked. "No, all secret and hidden areas of this castle we can't get into." the bakemon explained. "Well, then I guess we got some searching to do, Seth." Shawn said as he put his laptop on a table. "I know the location of every secret and hidden area. But one I could never find, and the flying fortress area is sealed off. I have seen it, Genni was wrong about that. It's at a loading dock outside. but the doorway there is locked and the key is in the room I couldn't find." SkullMerlimon explained as he brought up a map of the castle and location of the door to the loading dock area. "We should get some rooms here so we can rest later." Seth said as he looked at the map. "I got this room here that has two rooms seperated by a door!" Shawn said as he ran up some stairs passed a library area to the location of the room.
After an hour Shawn had the room to his liking. The curtains over the window was dark and made it so only low light came into the room. Seth had the room across the hall. Seth's likings were slightly different from Shawn's, mainly because Seth had his closet full of clothes he had been given by Genni via a special dvise that could be used to bring online orders to we they were. So Seth had his closet full of clothes, while Shawn had one or two suits, some plain clothes, three pairs of shoes, and his dark prince robe. Also Thiefmon had a small corner of his style in Seth's room. After a few more hours of exploring the floor their rooms were on, Shawn and Seth felt tired and returned to their rooms to sleep.
Shadowmon sat in the messhall of the castle, as Shawn and Seth called it mainly because that was really what it looked like. He was sitting next to SkullMelrimon's hologram. "Do you think they can protect digiworld?" Shadowmon asked. "Not alone, but with help yes, just maybe." SkullMerlimon said as he sent information to the Undersea Lab, which was being watched at that moment by Hydromon. After a few minutes SkullMerlimon turned the link to the Undersea Lab off because he was sending information. "The Undersea Lab knows all it needs to know. And after a few monthes I think Shawn and Seth will offically have the Dark Prince Empire organized." SkullMelrimon said as he turned his hologram off. "Yes, and soon enough we will encounter powers that we most face or be destroyed." Shadowmon said as he left.
