Tower of Doom

"Don't worry one little bit, Kazu," said Alice, "I'm sure her highness will be just fine. She's going to have to rest here for a little bit, so I think you two should just go on alone."

They had finally arrived at the Elf Village after a long and grueling journey. Through it all, Jeri had only woken up when the others attempted to feed her something in hopes of sustaining her. When they left her alone, the princess promptly went back to sleep. Now that they had arrived at Alice's little house in the middle of the village, she could get the care she needed.

Takato looked at the young woman standing before him in the living room. She had blond hair worn in two pigtails and violet eyes. Alice wore a long sleeved yellow tunic, a green skirt, and a white apron with pink frilled lining all around it.

"Thank you for your help," Kazu replied to his old friend. He smiled at her.

Lizamon asked, "Do you think it would be alright if I stayed here with Jeri? I don't feel quite right fighting alongside you when my best friend is sick in bed like this, she needs my help."

Takato nodded. "It doesn't bother me. After all, you can't Digivolve without Jeri and her Digivice. It's probably safer if you don't come along on this quest."

"I'm still going though," commented Toranmon, "I still have to find my missing Tamer."

"If we run into Galneon's men, we might just find the clue you need," stated Kazu.

Toranmon yelled, "Then let's get going! No time to waste." With that, she began pushing the boys out the door, again. Their partners followed close behind.

The two humans and three Digimon began walking around the Stavory Tower. It looked pretty sparse, compared to the Ice Mine and Balnia Temple. But the thing that caused the most panic in the little group was the strong feeling of evil spirits in the air.

Suddenly, they ran into a strange creature. It looked like a large aqua colored lizard, but it stood on its hind legs. On its wrists and ankles there were golden cuffs, and its tan colored pants were being held up by a golden cumberbun. The creature took one look at Takato, and smiled a wicked smile.

Takato took out his Digivice. "Dahmamon, Ultimate Level. This wicked spirit Digimon loves to play tricks on humans. Its special attack is Rockslide."

"So, you must be the Sealer named Takato," Dahmamon commented, "This is good fortune. Now I can kill you for Lord Galneon. Prepare yourself boy."

"Let's go Primamon, Bio-Merge time," Takato yelled.

With that, they turned into Primamon. The flaming monkey got into fighting stance, ready for battle. Warimon and Toranmon ran foreword as well, ready to help out.

Dahmamon said, "Your foolishness will be your undoing. Now that you have merged with your partner, I can kill you both in one shot, Rockslide."

Efreemon dodged the attack with relative ease. "Try some of this on for size, Fist of the Inferno."

The attack made contact, and killed off Dahmamon. He was instantly incinerated. But after he died, the strangest thing happened. A card with a picture of a green Golem fell out of his body. It flew right into Efreemon's hand. Instantly, the boy knew that he had found the Earth Spirit. Then, the duo split back into Takato and Primamon in order to conserve their energy for the coming battle.

They continued onwards. But on the second level, they found a locked door. Takato tried with all his might to open it, but nothing happened. He even Bio-Merged and tried to call upon Efreemon's power to force it open. But the door still refused to budge.

"This must be the ancient seal that Princess Hikari constructed to protect the Spirit Sword," stated Kazu, "They say that only one of the Royal Family has the ability to open this door. We'd better go back to town and see if Jeri has recovered. That'll be easier than searching for her lost sister."

* * *

When they got back, they saw Jeri and Lizamon sitting at a table and drinking tea. Alice stood there with a smile on her face. She had done a fantastic job with the healing process.

"Jeri, could you help us break the seal on the Stavory Tower?" asked Takato.

Jeri replied, "Of course I will. We need to get to it before Galneon does. He can't do it without a member of the royal family, so we're already two steps ahead of him."

With that, they returned to the tower. When they arrived at the door again, Jeri stepped foreword. "Oh great Spirits of the Seal, hear my plea. Open these doors for the one with the blood of the Royal Family of Lexford. Obey the contract that my ancestor signed with you in her own blood."

Just then, a light shone around the doors. When it cleared, a creaking sound was heard. Then, the doors began to open, and the warriors all walked through them.

On the fourth floor, the Earth Spirit Card began to glow. Suddenly, it flew out of Takato's deck, and took the form of a purple Golem with an Aqua tail where his legs should be. He had red eyes, and golden cuffs on his arms. Then, Dahmamon appeared before them as well.

"Looks like the battle's just begun kids," Dahmamon said, "Meet my partner, Baramon. The two of us are going to beat you senseless for Lord Galneon."

"Takato, I'm going to become Marimon and fight these monsters," Jeri informed him.

Takato replied, "Then I'm going to Digivolve into Efreemon. We're going to need all of the power we can muster in order to defeat these fiends."

With that, they both pulled out their Spirit Cards. The duo slashed them through their Digivices and were surrounded by a bright light. Then, they began to merge with their Digimon again. When the lights cleared, the two Megas stood there, poised to fight.

I hate when there are no girls in your party. It forbids me from having a girl cream my enemies. With that said, let me introduce our readers to the new Digimon I made for this chapter.

Dahmamon, Ultimate Level. A mischievous spirit who loves to play tricks on people along with Baramon. His only attack is Rockslide. The name comes from this demon in Arcana whose name I can't really remember how to spell (Dahama or something).

Baramon, Ultimate Level. Same as Dahmamon. He can change shape and imitate almost anyone or anything. His only attack is Rolling Rock. The name comes from Barah, another demon in Arcana.
