Chapter 8
The Lake of Tears
The sovereigns and the other digimon alighted onto the grass beside the lake. "Listen to my instructions!" MagnaCelestialmon bellowed. "Four enemies are on their way. There are many of us. There are five sovereigns, fourteen digidestined, and thirteen digimon who are not sovereigns. However, there is a code of law more ancient than the legend of my coming. It is written that the Children of Light, Hope, and All, and their digital partners are the only ones who will be able to defeat the enemy. Although this is true, the rest of you, the four sovereigns, eleven digidestined, and eleven digimon still have a job to do. You must go out into the digital world and there you will find many enemies slowly rising to power. If we do not succeed, our only chance is for you to eradicate those other enemies before the entire digital world collapses. If we do succeed, however, you needn't fear for the evil one's spell will have been broken. Fly my brothers and sisters, fly!" Upon hearing this the children and digimon left in all different directions, trusting their hearts to find the correct path. There were now only three digimon and three children left standing beside the lake, but they were not alone for long. The figures, that Lorriette had seen only moments before, were advancing rapidly. As MagnaCelestialmon glared at the newcomers the girl once more saw her digimon double, if not quadruple in size. When she looked back at the figures, she noticed that one of them was almost exactly the same as her digimon, only this one was not a pearly color, but a dark coal color, and its expression was terrible, she trembled as she watched. The four figures landed and one, which was being held by another, was dropped upon the ground. "So we meet at last Lucifmon?" the ultimate form of MagnaCelestialmon said, in an amazingly relaxed tone. "For the first and last time Infinitimon, you know of my followers?" the large rain cloud-like digimon asked, in and equally relaxed tone. "I do. Shall we begin?" "Let's." With that the battle started. Ladydevimon and Angewomon immediately began to fight way up in the air, while Kari yelled out instructions from where she stood on the ground. "Don't listen to anything she says! Remember how vain she was? Use it against her!" The fight only lasted for a few seconds, Angewomon's arrow brought Ladydevimon down like a stone, and a sharp scream was heard as she landed in The Lake of Tears. "That terrible woman!" Orion thought from where he lay on the ground, "I'm glad she got the fate she was given. Thank goodness for that blond woman in the air, I would be glad if she were my mother. And that girl, I don't know what she did, but I know she helped, I hope they can get rid of the other two." MagnaAngemon and T.K. were not having a very good time with Devimon. "Do you remember him being this quick?" T.K. asked. "Not really," MagnaAngemon yelled, once again aiming his attack only to find that Devimon had moved to the other side of him. "Admit it! You were never strong! You simply were lucky!" Devimon barked. MagnaAngemon did not reply, he had just opened a Gate of Destiny directly behind Devimon. Suddenly, Angewomon shot another arrow, this time at Devimon, driving him through the gate, and out of their lives. "There goes the man," Orion thought, half smiling to himself, "Now, I just hope with all my soul that they'll be able to defeat Lucifmon, these six couldn't possibly be any worse than the other three." Lorriette held her digivice in her trembling hand. "I--I don't know what to do," she whispered. Tears were forming in her eyes. "I want to go home. I want to go home. I want to go home!" Infinitimon and Lucifmon were both shooting large fiery balls at the other and both were dodging and muttering counter attacks at a rate that was so terribly fast that no one on the ground could tell what was happening. At present, the girl was starting to feel as if she couldn't bear to watch any longer and she turned around to block the view. It was then that she noticed the boy that was lying on the ground. Curious, she trotted toward him. Orion looked up, there was a girl standing above him. He hadn't noticed her before, and he wondered how he had managed it. She was incredibly beautiful and seemed even more like his mother to him than either of the two other women. She now held her hand out to him and he took it. MAGIC! The moment their hands touched a charge of magic came. They looked up at their digimon. The two had suddenly ceased fighting and had started to bend somehow; they even seemed to be fusing together into one being. "We," the digimon began, "are YingYangmon!"
