Shadow-Assassin: Well... no ones asked for anything yet besides my own characters... I hope the virus digimon will take what money I have...

Chaos Leighamon: *Walks up to Shadow* I'm here to collect our wages... *Puts out her paw for the money.

Shadow-Assassin: *Hands her the two fives and clenches her teeth together.*

Chaos Leighamon: -_-" You think that a measely ten dollars will keep us working for you? I don't think so... *Looks at one of the five dollar bills* Why in the world does it way "Shadow-Assassin does not own digimon on my money?!

Shadow-Assassin: Because we needed it for the last chapter and it looks like it's dragged on here.

Chaos Leighamon: You are taking this whole, I don't own digimon, thing a little too seriously you know that?

Shadow-Assassin: You want me to get sued and lose all my money so I can't pay you guys?

Chaos Leighamon: I believe it would be rather funny. *Smirks and laughs*

Shadow-Assassin: If you don't care about the money that much then give it back!

Chaos Leighamon: Oh We'll be keeping this... Along with your wallet... *Smirks and walks off*

Shadow-Assassin: O_o WHAT?! *Looks through her pockets for her wallet but finds nothing but lint* WHERE IS IT!

Chapter 13: Where Loyalties Lie

Kimamon

                When I saw Saramon's eye glow as they did I knew something was wrong. I looked over at the others and they seemed to be transfixed with her figure down below.

                I quickly closed my eyes and ducked low so as to not be seen.

                "Data Shield." I whispered as I sent a shield around myself.

                "Hypnosis Beam." She whispered in a soft voice.

                I looked over at the others and they seemed to have fainted. There limp bodies lying on one another.

                "Good work my little slave." Came a sinister voice from down below.

                I could hear sobbing coming from down below as well and it seemed to me to be a females voice.

                "Round them up and get them ready for transport." The sinister voice ordered.

                I crouched low and slowly edged my way closer to the walk way so that I could see down at what was happening.

                I looked down to see Giovanimon looking very proud of himself and the other circus digimon with their heads lowered. The circus digimon began to drag the unconscious digimon into the center ring.

                Tears streamed down the face of Saramon as she took a little Pabumon in her teeth and brought it to the center ring. Once the center ring was filled up enough Haramon went and stood in the middle of the unconscious crowd with her magic ball and gently closed her eyes.

                "Dimensional Shift." She said as she began to glow brightly along with her magic ball. Suddenly the bright light engulfed the whole place and I looked away and shielded my eyes with my paw.

                When I looked back all the digimon that had been there where gone. I when wide eyed. How could a digimon like her have so much power? I thought it over and realized that she must be a champion digimon.

                As the circus digimon began to gather the next load I looked over to my friends. I nudged Ianumon several times trying to wake him, but he didn't budge.

                I looked on in horror as another group of digimon disappeared from sight. They where getting too close to us now. I didn't know what to do.

                Finally I decided the only thing I could do was fight them on my own. I wasn't quite sure how I was going to do that but I knew I had to.

                Suddenly a paw touched my back and I quickly turned desperately holding in a scream. I looked up to see the purple face and yellow eyes of Saramon. Her cheeks still wet with tears.

Saramon

                I began to go to collect so more digimon for transfer. Then I saw something move in the corner of my eye. I looked back to see if anyone else had seen it but they where all at work. I sighed and slowly crept up the stairs to see what the movement was.

                When I got close enough I saw the figure of Kimamon. One of the travelling digimon. She was still awake. I guessed to myself that she must have shielded herself from the spell.

                "You must get out of here... Before he sees you." I said holding in a sob.

                "I'm not leaving without my friends." She said sternly.

                "You must... There's no hope for them now." I said as a tear fell down my face.

                "You caused this now you can uncause it." She said narrowing her eyes.

                "I... I... I can't," I stuttered, "They'd kill me."

                "Who would?" She growled.

                "My masters." I said looking to the ground for comfort.

                "Masters?... You work for the virus digimon don't you?" She said eyeing me.

                "I don't work for them... I'm there slave." I said looking away.

                "You don't have to be there slave. You can fight back." She said moving so that she could see into my yellow eyes.

                "I don't know if I can... I... I... I'll try my best... Just stay low." I looked at her and thought about the others. Giovanimon had chosen us because of our powers. Each had a power that could help in this mission to recruit new slaves. Not me nor the others wanted to be doing this. We were Giovanimon's slaves and Giovanimon worked for the Virus digimon.

                "I will." She nodded lowering herself as far as she could.

                I walked over to Haramon who was dragging a young digimon to the center of the ring. She looked up at me and stopped.

                "What troubles you my child?" She asked.

                "I think it's time to fight back. I am going to release the digimon from my spell." I said nervously.

                She smiled at me and nodded, "I've been waiting for someone to say that. I am with you my child."

                "Thank you Haramon. I knew I could count on you. Can you tell the others while I free the prisoners?" I asked.

                She nodded and walked off to tell the others of our plan. I looked after her a bit frightened.

                I looked back and saw Pantarumon and Giovanimon walk out to the back and Neepimon gave me a thumbs up. I smiled and concentrated my energy on releasing the prisoners.

                "Hypnosis Heal!" I said calmly as I began to glow. I watched as digimon began to wake from their slumber. They looked around in confusion and then most turned to me. I backed up and stopped glowing.

                "What's going on Saramon?!" Jessamon said.

                "We need your help... Please..." I said shaking.

                "Our ring master works for the evil forces. We were his slaves, but we believe that it is time to fight back. Please help us." Haramon said confidently.

                "We must be careful though. Giovanimon is strong. He was given the pendent of darkness by Chaos Leighamon and it makes him stronger." Neepimon stated.

                "Lets kick some digi butt!" Jeerimon shouted.

                "YA!" Faurumon cheered.

3rd Person

                All the digimon cheered out and Giovanimon ran back in angry and confused. Pantarumon quickly jumped away, before Giovanimon could attack him, and landed next to me.

                Saramon looked at all the digimon that where on their side and smiled. Giovanimon might have had the Pendent of Darkness but we where a stronger force. They saw him back up and smirked.

                "What! I don't understand... I order you to stop this instant!" He said as he backed away frightened.

                "It's over Giovanimon!" Kimamon said as she walked over to me, "You can't win."

                "Now leave and never come back." Ianumon said glaring at Giovanimon.

                "I will not give up!" Giovanimon shouted, "Giova Rocket!" A rocket appeared out of know where and shot out at the circus digimon. They scattered in all directions to avoid it but it swerved and headed after little Faurumon.

                "Help!" He yelled, but it was too late. The attack hit him dead on and he flew through the tent wall and onto the grass outside. His body went limp showing that he was unconscious.

                "Fauru!" Neepimon shouted in shock. The others glared angrily at Giovanimon and he laughed.

                Ianumon and his team ran down ready to fight. Giovanimon lifted up his hands as if to surrender.

                "I'm so sorry to leave in such a hurry but... I have a mission to fulfill." He said with a laugh as he disappeared into thin air.

                Everyone gasped and stared at the place where Giovanimon had just been standing.

                "How... How'd he do that?!" Jayjmon stammered.

                "I do not know my young friend." Haramon said.

                "At least he's gone, right?" Neepimon said.

                Pantarumon came in from getting little Faurumon who was still unconscious.

                "He'll be alright I think." Pantarumon said as he set the little digimon on the ground.

                "I'm so sorry... All of you... Please forgive us." Saramon said gazing into the crowd of confused digimon.

                Digimon began to cheer and shout out their forgiveness to Saramon and the other circus digimon. Ianumon and his team smiled and joined in with their cheers.

                A while later it was time for Ianumon and company to head out on their quest once more. They smiled at their new friends and headed off towards unknown adventures...

                "WAIT!" A familiar voice shouted. They group stopped and looked back to see Saramon running towards them, "I'm coming with you! I want to help!"

                Ianumon smiled and looked over to Kimamon who nodded her agreement to let their new friend join them.

                "Welcome to the team Saramon!" Jessamon said smiling.

                Mattamon smiled at Saramon and hugged her to show his support. She giggled and hugged him back.

                "I have the feeling that we will be alright." Ianumon said as the group walked off into the sunset.
