Thank god I'm home. That was a flipping heck of a spring break. I won't get into it, but I have and announcement.

IF YOU DON'T READ THIS CHAPTER YOU WILL MISS OUT ON A VERY IMPORTANT EVENT.

I have been hinting at this event for the past few chapters. If you didn't catch them or if I didn't make them that noticeable or hint well enough. But anyway, I've told a few people about what's gonna happen, Kreepy Kat, and Leah-and thank god Leah didn't squeal you stupid buttmunch. So anyway let's get on with the blooming story already.

And then the fighting began.

"HELL'S BURNING GRAB"

"METALIC DISCHARGE"

"TIDAL ATTACK"

"FURY OF THE SKIES"

"LIGHTINING SLASH"

"TELEKENETIC SLAM"

"STRIKE OF LOBO"

The attacks were sent out in three different directions, Robin, Corey, and Pip were struck and lay sprawled on the hard ground.

"Hello again" Ravemon growled. "You idiots I can't believe you would walk into my trap all to save your leader. Now you'll all pay and I can get on with my plan". He nodded his head to Leah and Cyrus, then looked to Robin. He nodded to Lucas and to Lily and looked at Corey. Yet again he nodded to Simon and Bi and looked at Pip. It was a signal for attack.

Leah and Cyrus, the now ShogunGreymon, charged at Robin. Lucas, Lily, Simon, and Bi charged at their directed targets.

"SPIRIT EVOLUTION; VIENTOMON/EARTHKAISERMON/TUNDRAMON"

"Hey Corey sweet spirit" Robin complimented.

"Thanks I-WHOA" TidalGarurumon and Sorceramon struck EarthKaisermon in the chest, knocking the wind out of him and sending him sprawling across the ground.

"Sorry my fa-AULT" Irismon and ShogunGreymon did the same to Robin as they did to Corey. Without hesitation Pip was also struck.

"Utterly pathetic" Ravemon sighed. Directing his voice to the group, "YOU can't possibly beat me like that. I have your spirits, you're outnumbered, there's only one thing that can save you now"

"Tell them what Ravemon" Karatengumon cheered.

"Fine it's not like your going to get to it before we do" Ravemon laughed. "The Essence of Lucemon-

When the Ten Legendary Warriors destroyed Lucemon, they were condemned to the life of a spirit as they were destroyed in battle. And what became of Lucemon, well he was condemned to the live of an Essence, a spirit meant to never be reborn. But the Essence was divided into ten separate pieces, one for each of the Legendary Warriors who fought him. With a piece of the Essence, a spirit becomes upgraded and more powerful than any force reckoned with. We are going to find that Essence and you will bend to our might. The Digi-World will crumble and a new reign of evil will arise"

"Big talk for the only warrior not fighting" Vientomon screamed.

"Why bother, you haven't put up a worthy battle yet. You've fought amongst yourselves, aloud the beast spirits to be taken, and left your leader to be nearly destroyed by my warriors" Ravemon countered.

Tundramon moved closer to Vientomon. "We almost forgot about Honroo. We have to find him and make sure he's okey-doke"

"We aren't exactly in position for retreat", She said. The two had their backs pressed against the steep cliff.

"So we fight our way through and find him" EarthKaisermon offered, walking up to the small group.

"Whatever you decide take this one with you" Ravemon nodded to NegroLobomon. "He has been of no help and I'm bored of him and Cyrus plotting behind my back". With one swift movement, Ravemon disappeared, only to appear behind NegroLobomon. As Bi turned, Ravemon crashed a mighty fist into the side of his head, sending him face first into the ground just before Robin, Corey, and Pip.

"BI!" ShogunGreymon screamed. Bi just groaned and managed to wobbly get to his feet.

"Cyrus! Show your allegiance. Destroy them with your most deadly attack" Ravemon commanded.

ShogunGreymon shifted uneasily on the spot.

"Do it" He boomed.

ShogunGreymon bowed his head. Raising his arms he shouted, "DYNASTY CRUSHER". The attack hit the spot where they stood, but all managed to avoid the attack.

"Cyrus" Ravemon whispered. "I've told you before. Your obvious attempts to help them are going to get you into a lot of trouble"

"GUY SCATTER INTO THE FOREST WE GOTTA FIND HONROO" Corey yelled. All agreed and without any command from Ravemon slipped away into the dense forest.

"Uh Leon"

"Let them go, they'll be back, I know it" and Ravemon laughed to himself as eager eyes from his team watched for the battle to resume.

"ANYONE KNOW WHERE HONROO IS"

"I REMEMBER RAVEMON SAY HE'S IN A CAVE. JUST FOLLOW ME I THINK I UNDERSTAND HOW TO READ THE D-SCANNER MAP" EarthKaisermon tromped out in front of the group. Vientomon glided behind and Pip was close behind her. NegroLobomon unsure of his place lagged behind.

"There!" Corey reverted, and he pointed to the small cave. "That must be it". Vientomon, Tundramon, and finally NegroLobomon reverted and ran into the cave.

It was dark and bleak; barely any light was let in the deeper you walked into the cave, but sure enough there was Honroo.

"Honroo!" three of the warriors crowed around Honroo's body. Bi looked on.

"Honroo-HONROO wake up. OH man is he-

Honroo let out a deep moan.

"HONROO!" everyone was happy to see he was all right. They gently brought his body up and tried to open his eyes and make him more alert. Finally when his eyes were opened, they were opened of his own free will.

"Hey guys" he groaned. "Hey Bi's back".

"What-oh yeah great" Robin sighed. "What happened Honroo are you okay?"

"Ravemon sent out one of his minions to attack me. I was almost a goner. I had reverted and Sorceramon was ready to finish me off, but I guess she wasn't prepared for the fact that I'd still fight back. I was able to knock her down and escaped here. I guess I passed out"

"Well at least your all right. And now that we're all together we can really kick some butt" Corey fake punched Pip and Pip pretended to die.

"ARE YOU MAD" Honroo screamed. Everyone was silent.

"THEY'RE TOO POWERFUL HAVE I NOT STRESSED THAT FAR ENOUGH. WE NO LONGER HAVE THE CHANCE TO CLAIM THE BEAST SPIRITS, WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE WE ARE AND WE HAVE YET TO WORK TOGETHER"

"Honroo calm down dude you-

"NO YOU DON'T GET IT" He stood up. "WE ARE GOING TO DIE; WE ARE GOING TO LOSE IF YOU DON'T DRIVE THIS INTO YOU SKULLS. I SAW THAT 'OH GREAT' YOU GAVE BI. YOU DON'T TRUST HIM"

"Honroo you can't rant about whatever but keep your voice down we don't want to get caught" Pip stood up also.

"Fine. But you don't realize the danger we are in-

"Yes we do-

"No you don't. We are not going to fight them till we can find someone to help us or something to help us"

Robin stood up "We do know something to help us. That Essence thing. It's supposed to raise the power of the spirit to some unbelievable new state"

"Good we find that and then we fight" Honroo began to walk out of the cave.

"No Honroo we can beat them if we're altogether"

"We can beat them if we 'work together'" Honroo turned. "We aren't working together like we should be"

"Honroo. We were able to get away from them before. If it makes you feel better just say the word and we'll get out of there" Corey offered.

"That's not going to change anything. What if they wanted you to leave"

"They want us destroyed why would they do that"

"To lull you into a state of false security. To make you think you can walk from any battle you find yourself into. Is that good enough" Honroo faced the others.

There was silence. Finally someone broke beneath the pressure. It was Honroo.

"Fine we'll fight. I hope that'll make you all happy" Honroo walked out of the cave and blinked at the sudden sunlight. The group followed and Corey once again led the way only this time led them back to the battle field.

"Hey Honroo where are your goggles?" Pip asked.

"They broke apart, just like this group" Honroo replied.

"Okay. Here give them to me maybe I can fix them" Pip offered.

"Sure. But if you can't just give them back to me" Honroo handed over the three separate parts of his once solid goggles. As Pip fiddled with the plastic, the group headed on to their destiny. Honroo's destiny.

"SPIRIT EVOLUTION: FUEGOMON/ NEGROLOBOMON/ VIENTOMON/ EARTHKAISERMON/ TUNDRAMON"

"Well, well just as I thought. Here they are again to have their heads beaten in" Ravemon laughed. "Let's have a little contest, whoever defeats their opponent first gets to claim the spirit for their own".

"I'm in" Karatengumon glared at Tundramon. Tundramon took one large side step to the right and hid behind EarthKaisermon.

Despite Pip being the coward, EarthKaisermon boomed out a message "You may have beaten us before but now your going down".

"I'm sure" Karatengumon laughed. TidalGarurumon made a face.

Robin was about to speak, when "Come on butterfly bring it" and Irismon-who had appeared behind Vientomon, pulled the fairies ponytail and yanked her into the forest.

"ROBIN-Tundramon began to yell, but from the air Karatengumon grabbed him in his talons and began to carry him off.

EarthKaisermon met TidalGarurumon's gaze. He remembered the words that Lucas had told him, --you and me, we're rivals from now on. In every rumble we have I'll be up against you, and you better watch out because next time you're going down-

"I don't think so" and EarthKaisermon charged his blade ready.

Ravemon looked at the remaining two warriors. "Cyrus. Go, attack you friend" Ravemon began to smile. ShogunGreymon brushed his orange hair past his angelic face and drew his sword. NegroLobomon saw this, and readied a laser sword. There was a moment of tension between the two and finally, they charged, no words were passed.

"Master Ravemon" Sorceramon squeaked. "Do I fight the leader?" she asked.

"No he's mine. You help your brother" he replied.

"Br-brother" she began to get a glazed looks in her eyes.

"CYRUS-go-help Cyrus" he caught his mistake. Don't remind her of anything, and you'll keep her. "I'll get the leader, you make sure that at least Cyrus hits Bi once, if he doesn't you'll be there to fight".

She nodded and ran off to join the fight. Ravemon turned and looked hard at Honroo. He understood. He was left to fight the most powerful of all entities in the Digi-World. Even if his heart wasn't in it, he would still try to make an effort.

"FUEGO FIRE STORM" the attack flew across the earth and at Ravemon. Still grinning he took the attack head on, and emerged unscathed.

"Perfect" Honroo gasped. The others weren't faring that good either.

In the forest, Vientomon was getting slugged around. Irismon was throwing all the punches, and Vientomon was catching them all, in the face.

Pip hadn't yet been released from Karatengumon's grip. It's not like he'd prefer to be released. By this time he was being held captive high above the ground. The fact that a small human like digimon wearing a tuxedo struggling in the grip of a large human like bird would be very humourous. Very humourous indeed.

Even though he though he was an even match for TidalGarurumon, Corey wasn't faring well either. He had his many shares of cuts from when Lucas had stolen his own sword, and he was soaking from the many 'Tidal Attacks' and other water based attributes.

NegroLobomon so far had gotten the worst of it. Having only one Alai in the group and that one being one of his attackers wasn't going to cut it. Sorceramon had used her 'Telekenetic Slam' to knock him around and caused Cyrus to accidentally cut Bi very deep in his side.

Fuegomon was scared out of his mind. Ravemon was making his way closer and closer to him. Suddenly he stopped.

"Why should I come to you when you could come to me? HELL'S BURNING GRAB"

The ground behind Fuegomon shook, and split apart. A wall of lava erupted from it and formed into a large demonic hand. It swung back, and swung STRAIGHT AT HONROO.

"GaAHHHH", it caught him in his stomach, sending him backwards and burning away all his armour. He was almost to Ravemon when the Dark Digimon briefly ran forward and struck Honroo in the center of his back---

---Causing Fuegomon to let out an ear-shattering scream, one that ceased all fighting. Fuegomon crumpled to the ground and reverted. Honroo lay there, twitching at the pain of a severely injured back and third degree burns across his body.

Ravemon looked pleased. He picked Honroo up by the neck and began to walk to the edge of the cliff. "Did your friends tell you about the Essence of Lucemon? About it's almighty power?" He reached the cliff. "You wanted to find it before you fought didn't you?" Ravemon held Honroo by the throat over the rampaging water below, and it's deadly dagger-like rocks. "But they wouldn't let you would they, they wanted to fight. Well this might interest you--"Ravemon leaned in so the boy could hear.

"That cave you were lying in for so long, it withheld the Essence" Honroo made a shocked face and Ravemon broke out in laughter. "You were so close to find the only thing that could make you have a chance against us, and you wasted it" he laughed harder.

"Now you pay" Ravemon released his grip and Honroo fell. By this time all were watching even Tundramon still in Karatengumon's grip.

Honroo searched for the words in his throat, "FIND A WAY, DON'T GIVE UP LIGHT WILL ALWAYS WIN GUYS DON'T GIVE UP"

And then he was gone.

"HONROO!!"

Buh buh baa! Hope you like that chapter, took me one day to write it. My favorite part was when Karatengumon picked up Tundramon in his talons like a hawk picking up a mouse of something. Honroo plummeting to his death was cool too.

And I have to say one thing. The highlight of my vacation was when I saw a donkey, and it had a HUGE HEAD. Looking at the thing I thought it'd tip over face first into the ground, it had a little tiny body and it's head was the size of the entire body. IT WAS HUGE. Also it was fun when I wanted to try the hay to see why horses and the donkey eat it, and it didn't taste that good. But I found out that I actually ate the straw, and I was like "What's the difference" and evidentally hay is what the horses eat, straw is what they sleep on. Also was good was when I mixed the milk with orange juice, and it didn't taste that good, and left a lot of pulp in the glass.

*Go see Kreepy Kat's fan fiction. Why aren't you reading it *
