Final Warriors
Later on that day, the three encountered a massive Sandstorm while wandering in the desert. It was so windy out there that Berselius - - as the smallest and lightest of the group - - nearly blew away. And it didn't show any signs of stopping in the near future.
Their luck was in though. Not to long after the storm picked up, they found a group of giant cliffs. And in the side of one of them, was a large cave.
"Let's take shelter in that cave," said Rutee, "We don't want to get lost in this thing."
So they headed for the cave. It seemed like it went back a long way into the dark, and was wide enough for several horses to stand in a row. Perfect for a group of lost travelers, but now Rutee was beginning to wonder what lie deeper in the cave.
"I'm going to go check it out you guys, stay here and wait for me," requested Rutee. With that, she and Atwight began to head into the darkness.
Rutee saw that it was getting darker by the minute, any further in and she might not be able to see even with her catlike vision. So she grabbed some sticks and began to light a fire on the ground. She stuck a long pole into the flames, and came out with a torch.
Now that she had a torch in her hand, Rutee could see what was ahead of her. The cave seemed even deeper than she had originally though, but she continued on anyway. After all, there only seemed to be one tunnel, so as long as she had the torch, nothing would be able to jump out at her, as they'd have to get by the guys at the entrance, or come at her from the front.
But as she went deeper into the cave, a strong wind blew in. Her torch was extinguished instantly and the young warrior was left in the dark. She wasn't afraid though, all she had to do was retrace her steps and make a new one with all of those sticks.
Atwight's growl brought her to attention. Although she couldn't see her loyal friend, she could sense the fear in her voice. And If Atwight - - who had better night vision in this form than Rutee - - was afraid of what she could see, then Rutee had a right to be afraid of what she couldn't see.
Atwight screamed, "Diamond Storm." The air was slightly lit up by the attack, and Rutee could see the target. The creature looked to be a little purple dragon of some sort who had a large horn on top of his head, and some spikes coming out the back. His shoulders had what appeared to be yellow shoulder-pads on them, while his arms each had three yellow stripes running down them. The horn on his head was tipped with yellow, with a yellow piece coming down off it, and two yellow rectangles - - one on each side of his head. A yellow diamond was on his forehead, and he had yellow eyes. On the back of his arms were what appeared to be two wings.
Rutee sweatdropped. 'It's pint sized. How in the world is this thing frightening Atwight? Better be on my guard if there's something there that scares her.'
"This is what bumped into me?!" exclaimed Atwight, "It doesn't look big enough to do us serious harm. Sorry if I hurt you, it's just that our light went out and we were a little jumpy."
"Apology accepted. I just can't believe that the portal between the worlds deposited us in the middle of a cave. My partner, her friend, and his partner are all kind of nervous ourselves. How about we work together to get out of this?" he asked.
Atwight replied, "I don't think it will be a problem. We're always looking for help."
Meanwhile, Rutee was looking at her Digivice to see what was up with the dragon. "Monodramon, Rookie Level. Usually very timid, he is the exact opposite of his Ultimate Level form Cybadramon. His special attacks are Cracking Bite and Beat Knuckle."
"Clemente," called a female voice, "Where are you? Don't leave me here in the dark."
"Philia, Garr, Igtenos, I'm right here. And I've found help," called back the Monodramon.
Although Rutee couldn't see them, she was sure that it was the same Philia and Garr she had traveled with a year ago. She wondered what kind of Digimon Igtenos had become, maybe a powerful Gabumon, or the defensive Armadillomon. So after the four were reunited, she began to lead the way to the front of the cave, using her voice to guide them.

After they had stepped into the light, she could indeed see it was the same Philia and Garr. Philia was wearing a purple dress with a black stripe on the bottom. Golden bands, like the ones she wore with her priestess garb were on her wrists, with two purple ones further up her arm. She had on a cape with the same clip she wore in the Real World, and high healed shoes. A mace with a lightning bolt on it was in her hands, an on her dress and armbands she had the diamond that was on Clemente's forehead.
Garr, on the other hand, was a little more simply dressed. He had green boots, a green shirt, and green armbands. His pants were black, and he had a silver belt with an emerald in the center. On the center of his shirt and on the bands were a pair of aqua green ovals, stretched extra thin and long. He carried a bow with a cyclone pictured on it, and a quiver was across his back.
Igtenos wasn't anything like she'd pictured him. He was a little rabbit with ears that stretched down to the ground where they divided into three points, and a horn on top of his head. A green bib was on his neck, while the same two stretched ovals found on Garr's shirt were on his ears. The tips of his hands, as well as the bottom of his ears were also the same green color.
Philia exclaimed, "Rutee! Is that you?"
The young Guardian nodded. "I'll explain it to you guys while we walk back. Stahn is waiting there with my new acquaintance. Don't take him too seriously, he's all hot air." Then, they began to walk back to where the gang had made their camp, while Rutee told them her story.

Finally got the whole group together. The real adventure starts now.
