"Well?" I asked. "What is it?"
Newbear looked at me. "So impatient..."
"We're very sorry, Newbear, but we would very much like to know." TK apologized, even though the guy didn't need to be apologized to.
"A long time ago, I was a lot like that damned Larzalere, but his power and greed drove him insane!"
"Well, duh..." I mumbled under my breath.
"He robbed me of my powers and banished me to live in this wretched hole!"
"How did he do that?" TK asked.
"He challenged me to a fight. I accepted, although I knew he was too damn powerful. Even his own brother was not a match for him, so how could I possibly stand up to him?"
"You didn't win." Ben sighed.
"No, I didn't." He laughed bitterly at us. "What was your first clue?"
We weren't amused.
"The fight went on for a long time, although you wouldn't understand our concept of time even if I explained it to you. When I was defeated, he stole my power and imprisoned it within a blue orb and hid it in the highest mountain as far away from here as he could put it."
"Well, why don't you just go and get it?" I asked.
"I can't leave!" He slammed his fists on a nearby table. "I can go about ten feet away from my home before an invisible force field is activated and pushes me back!"
"Then how'd we get here?" Veemon asked.
"The force field only activates for me, numskull..."
"Hey! It was a good question! Don't call him that!" I yelled at him.
"Do you want me to help you or not, loud-mouth?" He gave me a bad look, and I gave him a bad look right back!
"Uh, what do you want US to do, Mr. Newbear?" TK tried to smooth things over again, but I could tell that the guy was getting impatient with us.
"Go and get that orb!" He yelled at us.
"And how exactly are we supposed to do that?" I asked sarcastically. "We don't have any idea where this mountain is!"
"I have just enough power left to get you there..."
Newbear's hands started to turn some freaky color, and I was just about to say something when everything went really foggy.
"Hey!" I yelled just before our surroundings completely changed. I looked around. We were at the bottom of this really weird looking mountain. It was enormous!
"I guess this is the mountain..." TK said.
"I guess so. Not much of a mountain if you ask me." I said. "You know, frankly, I'm not totally convinced this Newbear guy's power really is there at all. I think he just wanted to get rid of us!"
"Well, maybe." TK sighed. "Hey, did you notice that before we got here, his hands turned green?"
"Yeah, I saw that. What do you think that means?"
"Well, maybe that's how they do magic. What do you think?"
"I think you're on to something there." I agreed.
"Um, guys?" Ben tapped me on the shoulder from behind.
"Yeah, what is it?" I turned around and saw what it was that he had seen.
We were completely surrounded by odd looking duck people with sharp spears.
