Chapter 7 Help Arrives for Both Sides

X-veemon opened the door. Four gigantic digimon stood at a distance, well, actually, one of them was floating way up in the sky. MagnaCelestialmon floated through the door and greeted them. "Good morning brothers! I am afraid that evil is all ready on its way. No matter, we shall strike it before it has a chance to poison our hearts." "Right you are my sibling!" Azulongmon said, (I don't know how to spell that and I'm too lazy at the moment to look it up.) "We must strike before the enemy wakes in the morn. All flying digimon, take your partners and follow us. All others, climb upon my back!" With that they left to find Demisemon.

DemiDemisemon led Orion for what seemed like hours. When the boy felt he could go on no further, the digimon dragged him. They reached a place where there were a few scattered plants, but there still weren't any other signs of life. Very suddenly, and with very little warning, they halted. Orion lay on the ground and felt as if he were dead. He heard voices. "What's that?" a male voice said. "That, Devimon, is my partner." "You have a partner, I would laugh if I weren't afraid that you would kill me," a female voice said, somehow, Orion almost mistook it for his mothers, but when he looked at the woman, he felt his heart pound. The woman looked evil, so evil that he was afraid to take his eyes back off of her. "Partners bring great advantages, no matter, the boy will be disposed of when he is no longer useful," If Orion had not fainted again, he would have been better off than he was about to be, "Carry the boy Devimon, we must attack while there is still time." Strong, cold arms picked up the limp body of the boy. They began to fly very quickly. When the boy once again awoke, he couldn't see anything. He could feel cold arms and hear the flapping of wings. It was very eerie; somehow he knew that he was miles above anything, and that the cold arms were the only things keeping him from falling. He didn't trust the arms. They felt dead and chafed. A voice came out of the darkness. At first he didn't recognize it, but then he realized that it was the same voice of DemiDemisemon, only deeper. "Alight on the ground and tell the Roachmon brothers to destroy DemiCelestialmon, if they refuse, I will use my powers to make them obey." They did so and they were back in the air within minutes. The voice that belonged to the arms grumbled after a few more hours of flight. "Do we truly need this human? It is making me lag behind." "I have told you, yes. Hand it to LadyDevimon if you insist." Orion felt the arms change direction and felt himself being handed to someone else's arms. These ones had long fingernails that dug into him. He cried aloud when this happened. "The boy has a voice," the same female voice said, "if he wants to cry, then I will just have to treat him as a baby." He felt himself being rocked and a terrible song came from the woman's lips. He howled even louder, but she howled right back.

The five sovereigns led the way toward a terrible land. The girls hid their eyes behind their trembling fingers. The boys tried their best to hide their fears. "I am certain that they too will be heading toward the Lake of Tears. If we hurry, we might get there before noon," MagnaCelestialmon said. "Truly," Cherrymon (is that right?) said, "Nothing good will come from there." "I have doubts as well, but I am most certain that we shall prevail."

Dawn had finally come and the boy could see his surroundings. At the moment, they were flying over an ocean. He could hear the waves break. He felt numb all over. The woman had long since stopped her wailing, but she held him tight so that he could not move. At the same time, she acted as if she would gladly let him fall to his doom. Every once in a while he would glance at his partner. The Digimon was much larger, and terrible, than he had been the night before. The boy didn't like the feeling his three companions gave him, the woman who cackled, the man who glared, the glob of fog. The sun was beginning to get in his eyes. Even as he closed them, he could still see the brightness burning through.

"We are nearly there," MagnaCelestialmon said, its voice was deep and rang out like a gong, or a church bell. Lorriette looked over the puffiness of her partner's body. In the distance she could see a large lake. Beyond that was a mountain range, beyond that were three dots, or were there four? There was no time to decide, they were about to land.

Orion was beginning to feel his old companion growing within him again. It growled and barked at him, but he couldn't satisfy it. It was then that he saw something, far off were the snow-covered peaks of a mountain range. "Full speed!" his partner shouted. It almost looked as if a spark of lightning had gone off somewhere within it, but there was no time to think, the whole party had begun to fly at lightning speed.
