ONLY ONE ROAD You know what goes here.

Part Three

Jeri sat down on the cold hard ground, in front of the Gotsumon's hiding place and thought for a moment. Why was she the only one that had been picked up by the data-stream? Where was she in the Digital World? What was so bad about the place she was in? Why had she even gone to the Digital World in the first place? With that last thought, she immediately thought of Leomon and forced the thoughts from her mind. Now was not the time to be thinking of Leomon. Now was the time to find out information about the city and how to find Takato and the others.

"Mister Gotsumon?" Jeri said in a quiet voice, "What is so terrible about this city?"

The Gotsumon poked its head out of the cardboard boxes and looked around quickly. "It is not the darkness that you should fear, human.it is the light!" With that, the Gotsumon quickly hid again.

Jeri groaned out loud. "Can you give me a straight answer, mister Gotsumon? I want to know why this place is so bad!" The Gotsumon stuck its head out again and narrowed its eyes at Jeri. "During the period when we were fighting the D-Reaper in the Digital World, this Mega-Level digimon known as Fresamon was captured by the D-Reaper."

Jeri nodded, knowing all too well what that would have been like for him. She felt sorry for him. "Go on."

"Well, for six days the four Sovereigns and their mighty armies clashed with the D-Reaper's forces to try and rescue Fresamon, but to no avail.on the seventh day after his capture, an advance scout of Azulongmon found Fresamon, badly wounded and barely alive in a deep cavern where the D- Reaper mysteriously refused to delete. The scouts thought nothing of why the D-Reaper released him, and sent Fresamon back to Mindea City to rest and recuperate from his injuries and to see if he had found out any useful battle tactics on how to defeat the D-Reaper."

"I am guessing something happened to him while he was a prisoner of the D- Reaper?" Jeri asked, thinking back to how the D-Reaper had used her to its own ends to try and destroy all Human life on Earth two months ago.

The Gotsumon nodded and said in a grave voice, "The battle with the D- reaper continued while a group of Floramon tended to Fresamon and nursed him back to health with data-packets every day. But, even after he grew strong enough to speak and tell of his ordeal, he could give no information on how to defeat the D-Reaper. Then, when the D-Reaper suddenly devolved from what you Humans did in the Real World-a magnificent idea, by the way- we finally defeated the D-Reaper here and life went back to normal.

"However, as life went back to what it used to be.well, how well it can with half of the Digital World in complete ruins, Fresamon began to act strangely and more and more violent, which is unusual, as his species is normally a placid one at that. He began threatening digimon on the streets of the city and, finally, he did the unimaginable.he deleted an innocent Bakumon because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and uploaded his data.

"But that is not the worst of it.No, not by far!" The Gotsumon looked left and right quickly, making sure that the alley was clear so he could continue.

"He soon had a gathering of digimon of all species and they claimed to want to free the Digital World of the four Sovereigns and let all digimon live without having to answer their errors to the Sovereigns. Now, such a thing is unheard of! Without the Sovereigns, we would have all been deleted by the D-Reaper!"

"Yes," Jeri nodded her head unconsciously. " We Tamers even owe our lives to the Sovereigns for what they have done in the past to help us. What happened ne-" Jeri stopped in midsentence when she heard a long low howl in the distance. She saw the Gotsumon quiver in fright and dive back under the cardboard boxes, muttering to himself.

Jeri stood up and walked to one end of the alley and looked out at the deserted street of Mindea City. Her eyes cast upwards and saw that what passed for the sun in the Digital World was beginning to rise.

Another long howl, deeper than before echoed throughout the city and Jeri shivered despite herself. The howl sounded like pure evil to her and, if the howl made her scared, she did not want to see the digimon that made the howl.

She turned and quickly returned back to where the Gotsumon was hiding.

"You must hide, Human!" The Gotsumon said, in a frightened voice. "The Besamon will be her in no time!"

Jeri looked around the alley for a hiding place, deciding to take the Gotsumon's advice, but found nothing that would hide her very well from the Besamon. Meanwhile, the sun rose higher and higher in the sky and Jeri suddenly heard a thunder of heavy feet coming down the road that the alley leads off.
