Chapter 16
*a trick of the tails*

The forest was gloomy. We could see the lights of the castle in the background.

We walked,and walked,and walked,and walked,and walked,and walked,and walked,and walked...You get the idea.
"Can we stop, I'm tired?"said Mika
"Guys?"said Lana
"It's true!"I added
"Guys?"repeated Lana
"Let's stop."said Enigma.
"GUYS!WE'RE DONE!"screamed Lana
"Already? Oh, she's right!"
Massive sweatdrop.

We tried to open the door but failed.
"Maybe if we do it together, it could work."said Mira
"Yes!"said Picodramon.

Mira was right,the door opened.
"Is that me, or it's far too easy?"asked KnightHawkmon

As this exact moment, guards arrived.
"Too easy,huh?"I said.
"I spoke too fast"the little bird said.

We were thrown in jail, in a dirty cell. It was crowded. Most of them were Cordova's opposers.Other were just captured for the heck of it.

"We have to get out of here to find Otamamon! And my partner!"said Bukamon.
"You're the only one small enough to leave the cell and steal the key."Picodramon replied.

We waited,and waited,and waited,and waited,and waited,and waited,and waited.Again, you get the idea.
Finally,the guard felt asleep,just like in every movie. Bukamon sneaked out and grabbed the key. But, we heard noise.

A important, green skinned creature entered the room.
Bukamon hid in another cage
"Why, hello guardians. I knew you would be lured into my trap."Cordova(Because it was Cordova,nyu)
"Hello nasty. And,what was the plan again?"Christopher said.
"Give me the stones, kid."the monster said.
But Enigma rised up and spoke
"Who did you infest again, Cordova? You know they don't last long... "
"With those stones,I'll be able to form my own body, without living energy. But,thanks for worrying about my little friends."he said."You were one of them, I remember...pretty stubborn...and,let's say your little pal didn't ap..."
"Stop it!"
"...preciate the treatment I gave him."finished the beast.
"I don't know what you did to my partner but, you'll pay for it...When I sacrificed myself, you said you would not hurt him."Enigma shouted
"I changed my mind. Only fools don't change their mind."Cordova replied."Well, give me those stones."

We all handed our stones. He put them in a little black bag.
"Perfect. I already had the three others stones. You're cooperative, Mister."the green creature told Christopher."I'm going to be sad wh..."
He shut up,all of a sudden. He stopped moving, everything.
"That's nice."Christopher said."Just at the moment it started to be interesting."
Bukamon moved fast and gave us the stones bag. We emptied it and filled it with worthless rocks.
Two minuts later, Cordova regained life.
"So, I was saying it would be sad when I'll kill you. Well,I must flee! Goodbye!"
The darkness master left the room,cackling.

"What did it mean?"asked Luka
"Well...I could explain but, that would be a waste of your time."Enigma replied.

Bukamon slowly crawled on his shoulder.

"You think no one cares about you, hmm?"he said
Silence.
Heavy silence.

Bukamon opened the door.
"Fast,we have to find Otamamon."said Christopher.

But, it wasn't over.
Two red eyes were looking at us.


A Kyuubimon was standing in front of us.
It was huge!

Bukamon jumped in front of the kitsune.
"Bukamon digivolves toooooo...Crabmon!"

It all came back to me, like a flashback.
The night at the church.
Christopher's redemption.
(For you, go read chapters 7 and 8 again if you forgot)

"Crabmon!"said Christopher. "Long time no see...you in this state"
"Yes,it's been a while. But, we have another problem than our comeback."
"Yes, Kyuubimon."I said.

Kyuubimon moved towards us.
"Demon fireball!"she shouted
The blue balls of fire were aimed for us.

Crabmon rolled near Kyuubimon
"Scissors magic!"
The pincers hurted the giant fox
"It's not enough"said Mika
"Apollomon digivolves to Devidramon!"
"Oxmon digivolves to Sheepmon!"
Devidramon grabbed Crabmon while Sheepmon attacked with her wool grenade. Kyuubimon vanished.

We could relax a little
"So,how were things at the church"Kimi asked
"Oh,after you left, we left too, we travelled. But, we were captured by the dark forces.Well...Cordova used some kind of mutation ray to bring me to my mega level. It didn't work and I destroyed everything in my corrupted level. Until Karatenmon arrived and destroyed the control in my head."Crabmon said.

We looked in the cages.
"Look!It's Otamamon! Crabmon, give me the keys."Apollomon said
He opened the door and the purple tadpole jumped happily!
"I'm so glad of seeing you again!"he said
"We're glad too, brother"said DarkOtamamon
We told Otamamon everything since our separation.
"We have to go and stop Cordova.Fast."said the little tadpole"He's going to find out he does not have the real stones!"
"I don't want to see that..."said Christopher.

*meanwhile,somewhere in the castle*

"NOOOOOOOO! They tricked me. And,it's all YOUR fault."the loud voice said.
"MY fault?"said the second voice
"Quiet. I could kill you, like I killed the others."
"But,you won't. You have all the power you need in my anger...If I want you to use this power, that is"
"What happened? Tell me?"
"My anger is so powerful, than I can stop you at every moment. Isn't that great?"
"You mean...you're only a host"
"Yes, if you want to kill the Guardians, you must deal with me first. And, only an host. Let me laugh.I'm the best you can get."
