Shadow-Assassin: *Watches and laughs as Malo Davimon makes soup burning himself every once and a while*

Malo Davimon: You just wait till I get my body back. You are so dead!

Shadow-Assassin: Remember who's in charge here.

Malo Davimon: Did you ever wonder why no one reviews for this fic?

Shadow-Assassin: Not really.

Malo Davimon: It's because you wrote it... And they think it sucks.

Jackiemon: *Cringes* Bad move dog breath.

Shadow-Assassin: *Smirks* Hmm... Bibbity, bobbity, BUU! *Snaps her fingers and Malo Davimon is wearing the Pink frilly dress with the pink bow, pink shoes and bright green apron that she was wearing in "Anime Party"* Don't you ever listen. Never mess with the authoress.

Jackiemon: O_O *Laughs her head off... Literally*

Shadow-Assassin: *Picks up the head* eww... Here you can have your head back.

Jackiemon's Head: Just put me back on my shoulders would you.

Shadow-Assassin: Uhh... Ya...

Malo Davimon: This is pathetic.

Shadow-Assassin: Shut up you and dance. *Snaps fingers*

Malo Davimon: *begins to do ballet. He moves making his body look like letters. They come out to, "S.A.N.O.A.N.I.M.E.O.W.N"*

Shadow-Assassin: *Snickers* You look so funny.

Jackiemon: *Twists her head so it'll stay on then watches Davimon in amazement* Wow... didn't know digimon could stretch that far.

Shadow-Assassin: They can't

Jackiemon: Ouch... He's gonna feel that in the morning.

Chapter 16: The Rescue

Kimamon

"YA TRAITOR! LET US OUT!" I shouted in rage.

"What's going on!?" Jessamon yelled struggling to get free.

Valormon had set a trap for us. Why... I didn't yet know. He had a battalion waiting for us at that very spot. They'd trapped us in nets then threw us in large cages that they were now carrying to the castle. I growled in rage. I couldn't believe I'd let him manipulate us like he did. I sighed and looked over to the others. Saramon had her head in her paws and was shaking and sobbing in fear. Ianumon was sitting silently no doubt thinking up a plan. Jessamon was glaring at the soldier carrying the cage she was in. Jayjmon was staring off into space. Jackiemon had her head lowered and was very still and quiet. Mattamon still looked terribly frightened. He'd been that way for a bit and I didn't understand why. Did he maybe know that this was coming some way and tried to warn us?

"What do you want with us?" Ianumon asked.

"The king wishes your company at the palace... Immediately," Valormon said.

"The king?" Jackiemon said curiously.

"Yes... Every castle must have a king and Dark Dragomon is ours," Valormon replied.

"Valor... HA! You have no valor, no honor, no brains," Jessamon shouted angrily, snapping at Valormon.

Valormon glared at her and put his sword to her neck.

"Don't you even think about hurting her!" Ianumon shouted.

"Well then..." Valormon said taking the sword away from Jessamon's throat, "Perhaps you would rather die." He said walking over and pointing the sword at Ianumon.

Ianumon glared at him as if saying, "Give it your best shot."

"Ianumon... Don't," I said trying to calm him down.

He growled sat down letting his muscles relax some.

Jayjmon

We soon reached the castle of this Dragomon character. It was huge but dark. Large crow like digimon flew around and the grass was an almost blackish green. The trees were all dead and there seemed to be nothing moving in the surrounding area.

"This place creeps me out," I said looking around.

"Tell me about it," Jessamon added.

"Quiet in there!" A soldier said as he poked me with his sword.

"Hey watch it with that thing!" I protested.

We reached the gate and the guards opened them for us... or rather our captors. They brought us through the courtyard to the large entrance door. Another set of guards opened them for us. I looked over at Saramon whose eye went wide with fear as the large doors opened with a creak.

The soldiers carried our cages inside and threw another set of doors to what looked like a thrown room. On the thrown was what looked like a humanoid dragon with red scales, a long tail with spikes, a black chest and black stripes and a dragon's head sitting atop a long dragon neck. He grinned showing off his long sharp yellowed teeth.

"Bet his breath stinks too," I said.

The dragon digimon just glared at me then laughed, "You have a good sense of humor in such a tight situation little digimon."

"This is no tight situation! We can get out of this no prob!" I growled. I knew this wasn't true and that we probably would never get out of that castle alive but I also knew that I had to help as much as I could. The only way I knew how was to give the others hope.

The dragon just laughed. He wasn't afraid of us... He had no reason to be. We were locked up and couldn't get out, "Throw them in the dungeon. Mistress Leighamon is sending some digimon to take them back to the virus base."

"Yes master," Valormon bowed.

The guards turned and headed out of the thrown room dragging us with them.

Saramon

I sobbed as they shoved us in the barred dungeon and locked the door behind them. Two guards stayed behind to watch over us while the others went back to their other duties. The dungeon we were in had some sort of force field that stopped our abilities.

I lied down in a corner with my head in my paws staring out at nothingness. Eventually Jayjmon came over, "You ok Saramon?" he asked in a kind voice.

"I don't like it here," I sobbed.

"Don't worry about it... We'll get out of here in no time..." he said.

Just after he said that the two guards cried out in pain and fell to the floor. We all looked at them in amazement. I looked past them into the shadowed area and saw a cloaked figure about our size.

"Huh? Who's there?" Ianumon asked.

Mattamon walked over to the edge of the bars quickly with a smile on his face.

"Mattamon?" The cloaked figure asked as it walked forward. We could now see that the figure was four footed and had a long tail tipped in purple. Her four feet were a bright dark pink colour.

"Do ya know him?" Kimamon asked.

"Of course I know him. I know him very well," The figure said as it threw its head back and the cloak came of its face. The digimon before us looked very similar to us. She has teal colored hair and bright purple eyes with a dark pink body and purple spots.

"You do?" Jessamon asked curiously.

"Yes... Now... We will talk later but right now I need to get all of you out of here," The digimon said, "Avenging Arrow!" She called out and an arrow of light appeared and flew into the lock breaking it instantly.

"Thank you!" I said as I quickly jumped up.

"Hurry now... Follow me quietly," She said as she looked around then headed back towards the door we'd come in. She stopped at the top of the stairs and peered out the door. She then nodded to us and quickly scurried out the door and down the hall to the left. We all followed with haste.

Suddenly the earth began to shake as we ran. Our savior stopped in her tracks and backed up a bit, "He knows!"

Suddenly the earth exploded and brick and stone and dirt flew everywhere. When the dust cleared we all went wide-eyed.

Ianumon

Whoever this digimon was, she was in trouble now. The lord of the castle, Dark Dragomon, had come right out of the floor and grabbed her. He was now floating just an inch above the ground with our rescuer in one claw.

He laughed and looked at all of us, "Did you really think I wouldn't know? This is my castle and I know all that goes on in it."

"This castle will never belong to you, you fiend!" The digimon said from the great dragons clutches.

"Oh, but it is mine now little princess. You my dear Andreamon, cannot stop me alone and these little gnats are of no help to you either," The dragon laughed.

"Are you sure of that?" She asked, "Look again dragon breath... See anyone you know?"

The giant dragon digimon looked around at all of us and stopped at Mattamon, "You! But... You were banished!"

"Well I'm back Dragomon, and I'm here to stop you," Mattamon said.

We all stared at him in astonishment. He stood tall on his four paws and smiled almost regally.

"You can... Talk?" I asked amazed.

"A spell was put on me just before I left these lands... The spell, however, does not work here in the castle," Mattamon said, "Now... Dragomon. Let Andreamon go or face the consequences."

"I think not. You couldn't fight your way out of a paper bag you little weakling. Why should I fear you?" The evil digimon laughed.

"You shouldn't fear me... But you should fear... them," Mattamon said as he pointed a paw to a group of guards that were standing behind Dragomon.

"Ha! Them? They no longer work for you my young prince... They work for me," He laughed evilly.

"Not for long," Mattamon smirked, "Silent Healing!" He called out as he began to glow brightly. The light from his glowing body surrounded the group of guards as well as Valormon who'd just walked up. As the light died down all seemed as it was before.

"Ha! That little attack did nothing," Dragomon said.

"Oh really?" Mattamon asked as he looked over to the group of digimon that were now readying themselves for battle. The guard digimon took out their swords and Valormon did so as well.

"Kill them," Dragomon said motioning towards Mattamon and the others. The guards and Valormon did not move, "I said kill them!" He growled.

"I'm so very sorry my... lord... But we no longer take orders from the likes of you," Valormon said pointing his sword to the dragon.

"What?! What is the meaning of this?" Dragomon asked backing up to the wall still holding the poor Anreadmon in his great claw.

Mattamon

"I've removed your little spell Dragomon. They no longer have to obey you like little puppets," I said narrowing my eyes.

Dragomon growled and swung a large tree sizes arm at the small blue digimon. I, however, had been prepared and jumped into the air and away from the dragons attack.

"Go Matta!" Jessamon shouted out happily.

Valormon and the other digimon scowled, "Sword Of Valor!" Valormon shouted as he swung his sword at the dark dragon.

"AHH!" The dragon shouted as he slowly disappeared in little pixels. Andreamon fell towards the ground and Valormon caught her in his arms putting her down gently.

"Andreamon!" I shouted running over to her.

"I'm ok..." Andreamon smiled.

I smiled back.

Valormon and the other digimon from the palace suddenly knelt down on one knee with their heads lowered, "It is so good to have you back my lord." Valormon said.

I blushed, "Please don't... I can't stay... The digital world still needs me."

"But you can't leave... We need you here to rule," Valormon said.

I smiled to the old knight, "I can see that you are quite capable of watching over these lands until my return Valormon."

"But I couldn't... I... I could try I suppose," Valormon stuttered.

"Yes Valormon... You can do it until we come back," Andreamon said.

"Huh?… But," I stammered.

"You are certainly not leaving me here while you go and have all the fun," Andreamon smiled.

"Oh great... Just what we needed..." I laughed.

"Well then... Welcome to the team Andreamon," Ianumon smiled.

"Thank you," She smiled back.
