Revenge of Darkness
Chapter 2
A World in Crisis
(Erin Narrating) We were hosting the school costume party and everything was going great, until a bad Musyamon decided to crash the party. The Bakemon that were with him started to round up the people, so we had to fight back. Luckily Kit had made sure that Gatomon and her litter was there so they were a big help. We were able to take care of Musyamon when Caljemon and some of Nathan's old friends showed up, but we found out how Daemon was attacking the digital world and so we set off in our air ship. We were about too go through the Gate, we had set up, when new digivices came out of it for children around the world. We decided that we had to use a very old thing called the World Gate. It worked and we got all the digidestined through and then we went through our Gate with the ship. Only what things are we going to have to face this time in the Digital World?
The ship comes out
of the gate and is in orbit around the digital world. The view screen
shows the digital world. The new areas are plainly visible, but underneath
is what is most appalling. Most of the lower areas are black and
dark; even the oceans have taken on an evil look.
"Oh my goodness."
gasped Erin as she turned from her station.
"Even our Earth wasn't
this bad." said Abby
"That's because the
Dark Ocean wasn't the source of the darkness before the time change.
In fact I believe that the change might have caused the creation of the
Dark Ocean as an outlet of darkness." said Nathan
The door to the elevator
opens and out comes Eaglemon followed by Jeremiah, Ruth, and Jeffery.
"I'm sorry Nathan
but they had to see you." said Eaglemon
"Dad I thought that
the digital world was suppose to look a lot like Earth. What happened"
asked Ruth
"We are going to find
out. But I can tell you that it use to look a lot better." said Nathan
"I believe you should
take a look at your children's digivices." said Eaglemon "Show him kids."
The children pull
out
three unknown digivices. Three of the digivices sides were curved
inward while the topside curves out with three buttons on the curve.
There was a small screen on the front with two buttons bellow it.
Jeremiah had a bright yellow and gold digivice, Ruth had a blue and white
digivice, and Jeffery had a icy blue and gold digivice.
"Their definitely
different from ours." said Jen sarcastically.
"Izzy would you mind
taking a look at them?" asked Nathan
"No problem, could
I see one of your digivices?" asked Izzy as he moved up to the kids.
"Sure, here you go."
said Ruth as she handed Izzy her digivice.
"It'll take me a little
time to figure them out." said Izzy
"Take all the time
you need. Caljemon where should we go?" asked Nathan
"We should head for
the United Council. The different floating area all sent a representative
for the council and they make decisions for the protection of the areas.
They are all that has stopped the new areas from falling into chaos." said
Caljemon
"So they've basically
formed a digital world congress." said Ken
"Exactly, but they
hope that once the lower areas are restored that it will not be nessesary
to protect the world and so therefore the council will be able to be disbanded."
said Caljemon
"But where do we go."
said Nathan
"The main continent.
It is the area of land that is competently surrounded by water. The
Council is in the center most part of the main city." said Caljemon as
he pointed to the largest floating area on the map.
"Set course Kit."
ordered Nathan
"Captain, that continent
has over 1 million square miles of land and 1 1/2 million square miles
of surface area of the water around it." said James
"Wait a minute, look
at that." said Izzy as he was looking up at the screen and saw a familiar
island go past. "That was File Island."
"Your right Izzy.
But I suppose it was the only way it would be safe." said Erin
"We'll have plenty
of time to look at the changes after we have talked with the Council.
Izzy what have you found out about the digivices?" asked Nathan
"They seem to be able
to control different things in the digital world and have a lot more things
than even the D-3's have." said Izzy
"Like what?" asked
Ken
"The top three buttons
are the most important. The left one brings up a holographic map
of the Digi-world, the middle brings up a digimon analyzer, and the right
one brings up those Holo-screens we used a long time ago. The two
buttons on the surface lets the person scroll through any items that the
person has, kinda like how the D-terminals can store more than one Digi-egg."
said Izzy
"So they might be
able to use Digi-eggs and other things like mom and the others did." said
Kit as she looked over her shoulder.
"Well that makes sense,
did all of the kids get digivices like yours?" asked Nathan towards Ruth
as Izzy handed back her digivice.
"Yeah." replied Ruth
"We'll talk with everyone
latter, after we get down." said Nathan
"I'm getting a signal
from the city, they apparently have an airfield and want us to land there.
They say that they have a transport waiting for us there that will take
us to the Council." said Erin as she listened to a message on a set of
headphones.
"You heard her Kit.
Take us in." ordered Nathan
"We didn't get to
say it before but, it's good to see you again Nathan." said Abby
"It's good to see
you two again too." said Nathan
"Oh no, we left Cycle
at the ships entrance." said Jeremy looking at Abby.
"Who's Cycle?" asked
Nathan
"The motorcycle we
came in on. He's one of the very few AI vehicles that have been created
since you left." explained Abby
"Well you two go down
there and make sure he's okay. We'll meet you down there once we
land." said Nathan
"Thanks." said Jeremy
as he and Abby went into the elevator.
"One other thing about
the digivices, I think we can call them DCU's." said Izzy
"DCU?" repeated Jeffery
confused.
"Mind telling us what
that stands for Izzy." said Jen with a quizzical look.
"I said that they
can control things, so DCU means Digital Control Unit." explained Izzy
"Well it makes sense."
said Nathan
"We're down Sir."
said Kit from the Helm as she then turned around and stood up.
"Very good, Mr. Selk
you have the bridge. Lieutenant I want you to come with us to keep
an open link to the ship. Grab a portable scanner and meet us at
the exit port. Eaglemon I want you to get all of the people in the
main hall and bring them down to where we will be. Then you come
back up here to the bridge and monitor events." ordered Nathan
"Yes Sir." said James
as he left the Bridge.
"Nathan shouldn't
I be the one to go with you." protested Eaglemon
"You can do more from
here. If you went with us you wouldn't be able to scan the entire
digital world for trouble." pointed out Nathan
"You have a point
there." said Eaglemon as he went out of the bridge.
"Well we've got to
go too." said Nathan as he led the others out of the bridge.
They step out of the
ship with Caljemon and the two Snowchimon following close behind and all
the other people flowing out after them. There is what looks like
a man with red skin in a black suit and sunglasses on. He was standing
next to a black limo and walked over to the group exiting the ship.
"Greetings, I'm sorry
but I have orders that only ambassador Caljemon, with his apprentices,
as well as the four Guardians may come with me to the Council." said the
red man
"We are the Guardians,"
said Nathan as he pointed to himself along with Erin, Jen, and Ken, "but
I must also insist that this man comes with us." Nathan said as he pointed
to the Lieutenant.
The red man looked
briefly at Caljemon who just nodded his head and then he turned back to
face Nathan. "Very well, if you will all get into the vehicle."
"Of course." said
Nathan as the all got into the vehicle and the red man got into the drivers
seat.
The wheels of the
car slowly retracted and it began to hover in the air and move. Only
after it had been moving for a few minutes that Nathan turned to Caljemon
to talk.
"Caljemon, I assume
that the driver is a member of one of the other Chi Cells that you once
told me about?" questioned Nathan
"Yes he is a member
of the Fire cell. He is the next evolution after Firechimon; he is
called Faljemon, as you can see our names are very similar as are the other
cells. Shortly after you left the digital world I found the Fire
cell and then not that long after I found the Earth cell. It wasn't
till we were evacuating the lower areas did we run into the Wind cell.
The only ones I haven't ran into are the Hune cell, I believe that they
evacuated to Earth but we have no way to tell." said Caljemon
"That's amazing!"
came an excited voice from Jen.
"It is isn't it."
said Nathan
"What?" asked Jen
as she turned from the window and began shaking her head. "Not that, haven't
you been looking out the windows."
"Huh," Nathan said
as he then turned his head to look out the window, "my goodness."
"I told you so." said
Jen as she turned back to look out the window at the city that they were
traveling through.
They were on a street
with traffic traveling both ways, the traffic was made up with every thing
from cars to digimon that didn't walk. There were sidewalks along
the sides of the street with digimon of all shapes and sizes traveling
it, there were what appeared to be light poles spaced evenly along the
street in front of the buildings. The buildings were made of white
brick and were stacked several stories, all of the buildings were carved
with images of animals and digimon along with elaborate pillars to give
the look of support.
"You think this is
spectacular just wait." said Caljemon as he watched the amazed looks on
their face's.
The buildings slowly
began to thin out and were replaced by grass fields. They saw two
other roads going in the same direction as they were, but it wasn't till
they looked out the front window that they were all speechless. They
were approaching a gigantic building, the bottom of the building was in
the shape of a hexagon and it went up several stories. The next section
was inside of the first and was in the shape of a ten-sided decagon; it
shot up nearly thirty times as far as the bottom section. The third
and final section was in a circle it was three quarters the size of the
middle section and expanded out as it reached the top. Trees and
other foliage were seen on the very top of the building as well as falling
water being collected by transparent collectors. Around the base
were many fountains and small park areas; there were several sections that
represented different terrain types, such as a large lake, desert areas,
forest, and mountain. All around the building digimon were coming
and going about their daily lives, entering and exiting the building either
by the many doors at it's base or by flying onto the top.
"That thing's enormous,
no one on Earth have ever been able to make something like that." said
James in just as much awe as his human counter-parts.
"That thing has to
be at lease 250 stories tall." said Erin with her mouth nearly hanging
open.
"267 to be exact,
of course the top seven stories make up the sanctuary. The main council
chamber is in the center of the bottom section." said Caljemon
"And you build all
of this in three months." Ken said as he saw the magnificent structure.
"Yes and no.
When the lands began to appear we knew that something must be wrong so
we began the construction of settlements. Things on the surface of
the digital world began deteriorating as life in areas began to die and
turn black. When this started we began the evacuations but when Daemon
arrived we sped up the evacuations to get everyone out. This city
and the Tower of Peace and Light were constructed five years ago and so
is finished in comparison to the other areas." explained Caljemon as they
continued to watch the tower grow closer and the car come to a stop in
front of one of the main doors.
"What can you tell
me about the Council?" Nathan asked as he got out of the car and turned
to face Caljemon.
"It is made up of
a diverse population of all levels and types, they make decisions that
affect all of the population of the new areas. It is also made up
of by Gennai and all of this counter-parts." said Caljemon
"What about Michael
and the Digi-Spheres, aren't they a part of the Council?" asked Nathan
"No, their temple
was transferred to the top of the tower. However, many digimon seek
the Digi-Spheres for advice and they have been instrumental in some of
the decisions of the Council." Caljemon explained as he opened the door
for everyone to go in and then turned to Snowy and his sister. "You two
go back to our quarters and rest, I will not be up for quite some time."
The two nodded and
then ran off in the maze of the building.
"Still looking after
the children I see." said Jen after giving Caljemon a large smile.
"They are not children
anymore, thanks to the Digi-Spheres they have been able to digivolve and
have since been training in different arts than I. Snowy has been
training in the martial arts and his sister has been training in magic,
which is how we were able to move around Earth without drawing attention
to us. But yes, I still look after them." Caljemon said with a slight
smile on his own face.
"What do we do now?"
asked Ken
"We must wait for
the Council to assemble." said Caljemon
"Sir Caljemon! Sir
Caljemon! The Council is waiting for you." said a small little boy
who was completely green in appearance. His eyes, skin, and hair
were all different shades of green.
"Thank-you Windchimon."
said Caljemon as he patted the young boy on the head and he then ran back
to where he came. "Now everyone, follow me."
Caljemon then led
the others down through a maze of hallways and into a large room.
It was in the same shape as the lower section of the building and had nearly
twenty levels of seating. In the seats were al sorts of digimon just
as Caljemon said. Among them were Leomon, Ogremon, Elecmon, and also
Gennai and all his counter-parts. There were also many other representatives
from all the different areas, there were several members of Caljemon's
kind as well others similar looking to them only of different colors and
clothing, others that could be seen were MegaSeadramon, Drimogemon, SkullMeramon,
and a Cherrymon just to name a few, also with a Knightmon in a pronounced
and raised seat. The room had stairs leading out of the center at
each of the six corners and has six large screens hanging from the ceiling
so that every one could see what was happening on the lower area.
The center area was in the same shape of the room but had no seats only
a table with several items on it.
"That Knightmon is
the elected President of the Council, now I am required to introduce you
and then the Council President will address you." explained Caljemon before
he turned back to Knightmon. "Members of the Council, it is my honor to
introduce you to the Guardians that were chosen by the Digi-Spheres to
protect the Digital world."
The entire chamber
was filled with clapping, as the Guardians were announced. The clapping
continued for several minuets until the Knightmon stood and silenced the
crowd.
"Greetings Guardians,
we all have heard great things about you. We wished to see you immediately
because we need your help. Lately Daemon's forces have begun preparation
for attacks against us and we need your help to defend us." said Knightmon
as he addressed the Guardians.
"Wait." said Nathan
holding up his hands. "No offence but I thought that we were brought here
to lead the attack against Daemon?"
"Yes, but we must
act slowly. For now we need you to act as our main defense.
We will provide you with any information that we have so that you may defend
against the dark forces." explained Knightmon
"But will that not
put all of you in danger?" asked Erin
"If we move with haste,
we would most certainly loose many of our people." said Knightmon
"I know I have just
been called here and have not been here for what Daemon has been doing,
but I would recommend that we begin attacking Daemon. However, we
will work with your standards." stated Nathan as he voiced his opinion
of the situation.
"Thank you.
The information that you will need is on the table along with several pieces
of equipment that will help you. The digidestined that arrived were
greeted by representatives and were led to areas in which they may train.
We trust that you will organize them to help us in our fight." stated Knightmon
as the small group walked over to the table to examine its contents.
"We will organize
it, but I can not say that I will be there chosen leader. Only members
of my ships crew do I have leadership over and they have been trained in
the methods of my people so I can assure you that they will follow my orders.
We will need to allow the digidestined to choose a leader of their own."
explained Nathan
"Very well, we will
allow you to return to your ship to inform those that were brought with
you." said Knightmon
"Thank-you." said
Nathan as they gathered the equipment.
"Mister President,
if I may I would like to ask for permission to act as the Guardians onboard
contact so that you will have a direct link to them." said Caljemon
"You have our permission,
may I assume that you will be taking your apprentices?" asked Knightmon
"I will be." replied
Caljemon
"Very well." said
Knightmon as he rose from his seat and walked out one of the doors.
"I guess we better
go." said Jen as she looked at her friends.
"Yes, you may go ahead.
I have to gather Snowy and his sister and our stuff and then we will meet
you at your ship." said Caljemon as he began walking for one of the doors.
"Well, everyone grab
a piece of equipment and lets go." said Nathan as they all picked up something
and then walked back towards the door that they came in.
What will the Guardians
do now that they are back in the Digital World, what are Daemon's true
plans, and why doesn't the council wish to strike back quickly.
