Minus one small obsticle, the people of Lugia City seems to have lost their sense of taste! The Digidestined also can't go until the next day after making a deal with Gadan, who is still eating. Learning from Angewomon, Lugia City was built upon the ruins of a Granasmon Temple, and also contains a piece of Valmarmon!

DIGIMON FRONTIER:THE REVIVAL OF VALMARMON!
EPISODE 7:Mystery Solved! Who is Controlled by ValToungemon, the Tounge of Valmarmon?!
By Ninetalesuk.
The Digidestined known as Takuya, Koji, Tommy, Kouchi, Zoe and JP that uses the Spirits of the Ancient Warriors searched around the city to find the entrance where it will lead them to the underground ruins of a Temple that surports Granasmon and also, holding a piece of Valmarmon.
With the help of their Digimon friends... Bokomon, Neemon, Patamon and Veemon, they were able to find the entrance to the underground ruins as it was in front of a giant stone rock that use to be part of the Granasmon temple. The Digidestined didn't know was that this pillar was near Gadan's mantion, where the owner of the Skyway lives.
They were able to open the gate that was sealed shut, in order to keep everyone out of the ruins so they won't get hurt or killed. The ones whom were entering it had something that no one else had.
Spirit Evolution!
"EXECUTE!!! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!!"
"AGUNIMON!!!" "LOBOMON!!!" "LOWEMON!!!" "KAZEMON!!!" "KUMAMON!!!" "BEETLEMON!!!"
After evolving into their Human Warrior forms, the Digidestined ran down the corridor through some caves and into some ancient ruins of the temple itself...
"This can't be the ruins of the ancient Granasmon temple!" Kazemon said as she looked at their surroundings. There were a few broken pillars, with some mounts of earth that came through the broken, dull white walls and some holes of the celing. "It doesn't look too holy like..."
"I don't know how or why they did but, I remember that in my book, some of Granamon's temples were destroyed by the battle between the Human Digimon and Beast Digimon." Veemon said. "I guess this is one of them."
Kumamon walked forward a bit and looked around. "One question... What ARE we looking for?!"
Bokomon came up to Kumamon. "We are looking for the piece of Valmarmon that is sealed somewhere in these underground ruins of the Granasmon temple. This piece must be causing the people of Lugia City to lose their sense of taste."
"But, what about Gadan?" Kumamon asked. "How come HE isn't affected by the curse from one of Valmarmon's 7 pieces?"
"Good question." Beetlemon said. "Something is strange about Gadan, the owner of Skyway."
"We'll cross that bridge later." Agunimon said. "Right now, we have to continue our journey. If we need to save these people, we will have to defeat and collect this piece of Valmarmon!"
"But, we don't even know what this piece is...." Neemon said. "Like we didn't know what the Spirits of the Ancient Warriors was going to be until they are activated."
"That never stopped us before." Lobomon said, feeling the broken walls, as if he is trying to find something. "Where could it be...?"
"What are you looking for?" Patamon asked, as he flew over to Lobomon.
"Whoever built this temple must have created some secret passages and I bet one of them will hide the piece of Valmarmon." Lobomon said.
"Oh, get real, Lobomon." Bokomon said. "This isn't a Indiana Jones movie, you know..."
Veemon tapped Bokomon on the shoulder. "Actually, according to my books, some of the ancient Granasmon temples DOES contain secret passages."
"Ah, nuts." Bokomon sighed. "I hate it when someone proves me wrong..."
Lowemon started to feel the opposite wall and, surprising him, pushed a loose stone into the wall. "Hey! I think I found something!"
The wall where Kumamon walked over to opened up, with wind blowing into his face. "Over here!"
"You are right, Lobomon!" Patamon said. "There IS a secret passage in this temple!"
"Never doubt you for a moment." Agunimon said, smiling.
"Do you think this will lead us to where Valmarmon's piece is sealed in?" Beetlemon asked.
"Only one way to find out!" Agunimon said, as he ran towards the opened wall, followed by his friends. "Here we go!!!"
Neemon ran quite fast and his eyes bugged out when he found himself on a cliff that will lead him to his doom. Luckly, he was pulled back by Bokomon and Veemon by grabbing his pants.
"Neemon!" Kazemon said. "Are you all right?"
"I think so..." Neemon said. "Where are we anyway?"
Veemon gasped as he looked around. "We are at the Granascliffs!"
"Wha..?" Agunimon gasped as he looked over the ledge. There was nothing to see except whiteness of the clouds. He looked up to see the top of the Granascliffs with the sun shining above. "This... This is amazing..."
Lobomon swore. "I guess some of the passages can lead intruders in the wrong direction when they want the piece of Valmarmon and I think this passage is one of them!"
"You are wrong, brother." Said Lowemon as he walked over to another cave that was some meters away from the one the Digidestined came through. "When I pressed the button, it lead us to where the piece is hidden! We found it!"
"How do you know where we are?" Veemon asked.
"Follow me." Lowemon said, walking into the second cave. The others chased behind him and entered the cave.
When they arrived, they saw Lowemon standing in front of a shrine that was in the middle of the cave area. And in the middle of the shrine is a big blue crystal ball.
"Wha....?" Kazemon gasped. Then, she pointed to the cystal ball "What in blazes is THAT?!"
Lowemon turned his gaze to Kazemon, a grim look in his eyes. "I think THIS is what we are looking for, you guys. THIS is where Valmarmon is..."
"How would you know that...?" Beetlemon asked.
"I remembered what Angemon said to us when we were back in Carbos Town..." Lowemon said.
(Angemon) Valmarmon is growing with power as each day pass by. Seeking to break the seals which, for a time, have kept the darkness bound.
Agunimon joined Lowemon and stared at the crystal ball. "So, this crystal ball was holding the piece of Valmarmon?"
"I think so." Lowemon said. "I think this is called The Seal of Granasmon..."
"Except..." Kumamon said, pointing to the crystal ball. "The seal is broken!!!"
Lobomon walked looked at the crystal ball and noticed some black cracks on it. "Hes right! Which means that the piece is free!"
"Thats it! I have worked it out!" Bokomon said, proudly.
"I haven't..." Neemon moaned, getting a pants slap from Bokomon.
"Listen, baka!" Bokomon said, gritting his teeth. "The troubles of the citizens of Lugia City began when the Seal of Granasmon broke, releasing the piece of Valmarmon it was holding..."
"I knew I was right!" Agunimon said. "The Granas Tower that was east of Carbos Village was holding the Wings of Valmarmon, with a crystal ball along with it!"
"That solves some questions..." Beetlemon said. "But, there are some questions that I would like to be answered. Why isn't Gadan effected?!"
"And what piece of Valmarmon was sealed away and is now free??" Kumamon asked.
Suddenly, the ground shook, causing the Legendary Warriors to be on their guard, Patamon and Veemon looking out for their next opponent and Bokomon and Neemon hid behind Agunimon.
"I think we are about to find out." Veemon said.
Bursting through the wall, an ugly mutant spider-like creature with two mouths, one on his head and one underneath, and two big venus-fly trap-like claws, came out and roared as he spotted the Legendary Warriors.
Lobomon was sicken by the sight of the new monster. "I think this guy needs a new apperance!"
"No kidding." Patamon said.
"If only my book has information of the 7 pieces of Valmarmon and we will find out what or who this thing is!" Bokomon said.
Agunimon fired some flaming darts towards the beast. "Get away, ugly! Pyro Darts!!!"
The creature roared as some of the flames hit him and went back into the area he was hiding.
Kazemon noticed where he came out of. "Whatever or whoever that thing was, he was hiding in that temple ruins!"
"Come on!!!" Agunimon said, starting to run. "If he is the piece of Valmarmon, then we shall free this city's troubles!!!"
"He might be leading us into a trap!!" Neemon said, panicing.
"We have to face him sooner or later!" Kumamon said, running alongside Agunimon.
"Let's go!!!" Beetlemon said, as he and the others followed Agunimon and Kumamon into the area where the monster came out of....
When they entered the temple ruins, they found the creature that is part of Valmarmon, looking at the Digidestined and isn't backing down to face them.
"Unless Duskmon has put on some weight, this isn't him." Agunimon joked.
"What is he...?" Veemon gulped.
Lobomon drew out his light sabers (No Star Wars part here) and got into his attack position. "Don't know. All we know is that he is the source of the town's trouble. Caution! Believe me or not, it's smell augurs danger."
"You look delicious little ones." Said the creature, snarling in a disgusting way. "I shall strip your bones of your fine flesh, yes? So tender. So succulent."
"That voice...." Lowemon gasped. "Where have I heard that voice before...."
"Come, let me taste you. And the wings of Valmarmon shall make a fine main course, yes? And the Spirits of the Legendary Warriors will be my desert." Continued the creature.
"Lowemon is right!" Kazemon said. "That voice is familiar...."
*Wait a second... Everyone was hungry except, Gadan... That means..." Beetlemon thought before he gasped. "Its Gadan!!!!"
"Gadan????" Kumamon gasped.
"Ah! Gadan?!?" Agunimon gasped. "Is that you?!? Let me guess, new haircut?"
"I am no longer the foolish weak Gadan!!!" Said the creature. "I am the Tounge of Valmarmon!!! I am the deadly ValToungemon!!!"
***DIGIMON INFORMATION***

ATTACKS:Starving Tounge, Guillotine
(Kazu) Oh, yuck! ValToungemon will eat ANYTHING as long as he gets full. And I hope these guys will escape his Starving TOunge attack. ValToungemon is also the Tounge of Valmarmon... Yuck...
*************************
"I understand this now!!!" Bokomon said. "ValToungemon is affecting the town's tounges!"
"Huh??" Neemon asked, confused.
"Everything we taste! Sweet or sour! Our taste buds are in our tounges! ValToungemon is using some sort of magic to affect the people's tounges so they won't eat!!!" Bokomon explained.
"And Gadan!" Veemon gasped. "The reason he was still eating because he has the piece of Valmarmon inside of him!!!"
"That is correct, my lovely food." ValToungemon said. "And I will eat you for my lunch!!!"
"Sorry but, you won't have you meals right now! Whatever you eaten before was your last meal!" Agunimon said. "Get him!!!"
"You will not win..." ValToungemon said.
Agunimon leapt up and fired a series of flaming darts. "Pyro Darts!!!"
"Lobo Kendo!!!" Yelled Lobomon as he shoved his lightsabers into one of ValToungemon's legs.
Kazemon threw a lot of wind that came out of her hands. "Hurricane Wave!!!"
"Thunder Fist!!!" Yelled Beetlemon, as he slammed ounces of electricity onto ValToungemon.
Kumamon breathed in and blew out winds of coldness. "Crystal Freeze!!!"
A burst of energy came out of the lion's mouth that was on Lowemon's chest. "Endlich Meteor!!!"
ValToungemon groaned slightly as 6 attacks struck all around him. "That is the best you can do!!! I think I will need some more energy...."
"Hey!!!" Called out a voice as 4 Digimon that is crossover of a bat and a monkey, came out of some holes and flew in front of ValToungemon. "We are trying to get some sleep here!!!"
"Those are Vilemon!!!!" Bokomon screamed. "What are they doing here?!?!"
"They live here." Patamon said.
***DIGIMON INFORMATION***
NAME:Vilemon.
LEVEL:Champion.
TYPE:Virus.
Evil Digimon.
ATTACKS:Nightmare Shocker, Scratch
(Henry) These guys don't know what they are up against. Vilemon are small but, their Nightmare Shocker CAN hurt you. I bet their attacks can't hurt ValToungemon though..."
*************************
"Well, well, well." ValToungemon said, cackling. "Some treats for me."
"How dare you say we are food!" The Vilemon said, together. They all opened their mouths and small rings of shockwaves came out of their mouths. "Nightmare Shocker!!!"
ValToungemon laughed as Vilemon's attack did nothing to him. "That is the best you can do?"
The Vilemon gulped together. "Who is this guy?"
"That is the Tounge of Valmarmon!!!" Bokomon shouted.
"Oh no!!! Not the Tounge of Valmarmon!!! Anything but that!!!" The Vilemon paniced before they scrathed their heads in confusion. "Who is Valmarmon?"
Bokomon sweatdropped. "Oh brother..."
Neemon had a quick thing. "Thats a good question. Who IS Valmarmon?"
"Oh, for goodness sake!!!" Bokomon said, as he fell to the ground.
ValToungemon laughed. "Nothing like good old entertainment. Now, let's fest!!!" He stopped moving and a brown orb with tentacles and a mouth that opened up, appeared above him. "Dinner time!!! Straving Tounge!!!"
The Vilemon screamed as they were sucked into ValToungemon's special attack. When they were inside the Starving Tounge, the orb's mouth made an eating motion before exploding into data and loaded into ValToungemon. All that remains of the four Vilemon were 4 Digi-eggs that left the ruin temple.
"Oh man!!!" Agunimon gasped as Kazemon and Lobomon joined him. "We have to stop him before we are next on his menu!!!"
"But, how?" Kazemon asked. "We didn't even made a scratch on him."
"As Human warriors, no. But, what about Beast warriors?" Lobomon asked.
"Good idea!" Agunimon said. "Everyone! Become your Beast forms!"
"Not so fast!" ValToungemon said. "I'm still hungry! Guillotine!!!" He began to suck in deeply, bring Agunimon, Kazemon and Lobomon towards his mouth.
"Hey!!! What is he doing?!" Agunimon gasped, as he grabbed the ground hard with one hand and grabbed Lobomon's arm with the other. "He already had the Vilemon!!!"
"I guess it was his starter!" Lobomon said, as he grabbed Kazemon's leg.
Kazemon turned to Beetlemon, Kumamon, Lowemon, Bokomon, Neemon, Veemon and Patamon, who were all safe from danger. "Help us, you guys!"
"Hold on! I'll help you!" Beetlemon said, as he was covered by Digi-code.
"Here we go!!!" Kumamon added, as he was also covered by Digi-code.
Lowemon was also covered by Digi-code as he said. "We are coming!"
"BEETLEMON!!! SLIDE-EVOLUTION!!! METALKABUTERIMON!!!"
"KUMAMON!!! SLIDE-EVOLUTION!!! KORIKKAKUMON!!!"
"LOWEMON!!! SLIDE-EVOLUTION!!! KAISERLEOMON!!!"
ValToungemon was so busy trying to suck Agunimon, Kazemon and Lobomon into his mouth that he didn't noticed MetalKabuterimon aiming towards his mouth with the cannon on his head.
"No one will eat my friends!" MetalKabuterimon said. "Electron Cannon!!!"
ValToungemon screamed in pain as he felt the special attack of MetalKabuterimon into his mouth. "ARGH!!! This taste disgusting!!!"
"You are the one to talk!" Kazemon said, as he landed on the ground while Lobomon helped Agunimon up to the ground.
"I think I will take that as an insult!" ValToungemon growled.
"And he just found out now?" Lobomon joked.
"Frozen Arrowheads!!!" Korikkakumon called out, as he fired his dreadlocks, grabbing him and holding him in the air from behind. "How is the view up there? Bet ya didn't know about me creeping up from behind you, huh?!"
"Get me down from here!!!" ValToungemon cried out.
"Let me think about it. NO!" Korikkakumon called out. "KaiserLeomon, go for it!"
"Right! Hey, pal! Chew on this!!" KaiserLeomon roared as he leapt up, covered in darkness. "Schwarz König!!!"
"NO!!!!! HOW COULD I LOSE!?!?!?" ValToungemon cried out as KaiserLeomon went through him and Korikkakumon dropped him onto the ground. As he hitted the floor, Digi-code started to surround him. KaiserLeomon knew what he has to do now...
"KAISERLEOMON!!! SLIDE-EVOLUTION!!! LOWEMON!!!"
"I'm hungry...." Moaned ValToungemon, dazed and defeated.
"Seems you are a bit tounge-tied." Lowemon said, as he held his D-Tector out. "Let this Digivice purify your soul! DIGI-CODE SCAN!!!"
The Digi-code of ValToungemon went into Kouchi's D-Tector, along with a small object with a tounge upon it. When ValToungemon vanished, Gadan was in his place...
"Did we beat him...?" Patamon asked.
"We beat him!" Veemon said, with a nod.
Korikkakumon bended down and picked up Gadan's body. "We better get him to Angewomon."
"Then, we better go back the way we came through." MetalKabuterimon said.
Agunimon noticed a stairway. "Hold on a second..."
"What is it?" Lobomon asked.
Agunimon walked over to the staircase and started to go up. "I have a feeling this stairway is going to help us.
"Be careful!!!" Kazemon called out.
Agunimon went up and up until he came to a door. He opened it and peered inside. He gasped when he reconised where he was. "This.. This is Gadan's mantion!!!"
Later, the Digidestined were back in their human forms, standing over Gadan's body in the church with Angewomon.
"Angewomon? What has happened to Gadan?" Zoe asked.
Angewomon kneeled beside Gadan and sighed. "Something happened to him when he became possessed with the Tounge of Valmarmon inside of him..."
"What do you mean...?" JP said, worried.
"Our holy book contains a passage that speaks of this. First Valmarmon possesses one's soul, and then devours it." Angewomon said.
"Hey, thats what Angemon told us." Tommy said. "Maybe this is what happened to Gadan!"
"Yes... The poor man. Valmarmon took advantage of the weakness of his Soul." Angewomon said.
"He was after the Wings of Valmarmon I have got from Carbos Village." Kouchi said. "Why is that?"
Angewomon shook her head sadly. "The pieces of Valmarmon wants to devour each other. When one piece was able to devour all 6 pieces, Valmarmon will be reborn!"
"That explains why Gadan thought Kouchi smelled lovely to eat!" Veemon said.
"He was catching the scent of the Wings of Valmarmon inside Kouchi's D-Tector!" Bokomon said. "Yes, that explains it all..."
"Angewomon... What is going to happen to Gadan?" Takuya
Angewomon smiled kindly at Takuya. "Nothing. He needs some rest now. Thanks to you, his soul wasn't fully devoured. He will be fine..."
The gang sighed, relieved.
Koji looked out of the window and smiled. "We did it, you guys. We saved Lugia City!"
"We sure did." Kouchi added, with a smile.
"And as a special reward, I will make the Skyway free for you to ride tomorrow." Angewomon said.
"Thank you!!!" Zoe said, with a smile.
Takuya opened the door and started to walk out. "All right, everyone. We will head back to the inn. Now its ValToungemon-free, I'm sure the innkeeper will give us REAL food instead of that Arum Root stuff!"
"Yeah!" Tommy agreed.
"Goodbye, everyone." Angewomon said, smiling. "Good luck on your journey!!!"
"Bye!" Veemon called out.
"Good luck, Seraphimon." Angewomon smiled.
Patamon blushed. "Thank you. Bye."
Neemon waved goodbye. "Bye bye Ange-who-mon..."
"Ange-WO-mon!!!" The Ultimate angel giggled when she hear Bokomon yelling and pulling Neemon's pants with a SLAP!!!
Along the Digidestined's way to the Lugia Inn, they met up with the male Houndoom, the female Umbreon and the small male Eevee hybrids.
"Feeling better?" Takuya asked.
The Houndoom nodded with a smile. "Thanks to Patamon and your party. Thank you very much."
"I am so glad that we are back to normal." The Umbreon said, also with a smile. "I just cannot thank you enough."
"Thank you, miss!" The little Eevee said, smiling at Zoe.
"No problem." JP said. "Glad we could help..."
"I have something important to do, so……" The Houndoom said before he and his family walked off.
Zoe sighed. "So, measure for measure, all's well that ends well. The townsfolk have been saved, and all is as it should be." Then, her face went into a grim. "Mr. Gadan, well, he took care of his body, but, not his soul. Perhaps this was his error."
"He was right, to a certain extent." JP said.
"What do you mean?" Zoe asked, confused.
JP looked up to the sky. "The people of this town, they sacrificed their well-being for the promise of wealth. Gadan didn't have to do anything, really, the people decided what they wanted. A subtle trap."
"But, still. The trap has been sprung." Veemon said. "All has been put right. If everyone works together, happiness will return to even this broken world, it feels like that Lord Granasmon is watching over us."
Takuya kneeled beside Veemon. "I think you've missed the point entirely, buddy. The story doesn't end here. We don't all hold hands and skip home."
"It doesn't?" Neemon asked.
"No..." Takuya said, with a laugh. "The world is not so black and white. The answers aren't as pat as you'd like to believe."
"What else do you mean?" Veemon asked.
"You'll find out eventually." Takuya said, before he started to walk away. "Come on, we've yet to
cross the Granacliffs! Tomorrow, we are just a little father to the Cathedral!"
And with that, they headed towards the Inn. Overnight, they had a good meal instead of eating the Arum Root and had a good nightsleep. Next morning, they got up and boarded the Skyway.
Tommy looked out of the window as the SKyway was over the middle of the Granascliffs. He sighed and sat down beside Takuya and Patamon.
"I can't believe this adventure is coming to an end." Takuya said. "When we arrive, its just head on over to the Holy Cathedral as the Legendary Warriors and have Zera destroy the Wings and Tounge of Valmarmon..."
"This adventure isn't coming to an end..." Kouchi said. "We have to stop Duskmon!!!"
JP placed his hand on Kouchi's shoulder. "Calm down, Kouchi. You are right. We do have to stop Duskmon. I wonder how he can exist without you...."
Kouchi was silent. "I... I don't know..."
"Well, all I know is that Valmarmon will never return when Zera destroys those 2 pieces you have collected, Kouchi." Veemon said, with a smile. "He needs all 7 to come back and this is not going to happen, right?"
"Right." Kouchi said, with a nod.
"I wonder what the 5 other pieces are..." Zoe wondered.
"Dunno..." Bokomon said. "Just be glad it stays that way..."
"Yeah..." Patamon nodded.
Neemon fell asleep.
"Okay, everyone. When we arrive at the Cathedral, evolve into your Human forms and lets go and meet the pope of Granasmon!" Takuya said.
"Right!" Zoe, Koji, Tommy, Kouchi and JP said.
Suddenly, there was a screeching noise from the ship as it started to rock about...
"Wha... What is going on???" Bokomon cried out.
Outside, a big red dark moon glowed angry as it changed the white cliffs of Granasmon into red. The Skyway ship was being tossed and turned and threw the ship away. To the other side of the Granascliffs..... At that point, an evil dark laughter was heard....
TO BE CONTINUED...
(Rika) Oh no!!! Will Takuya and the others be okay?! To find out, wait until the next chapter of the Revivial of Valmarmon!!!
And now, the drama starts... Wait until you read chapters 8 to 10 and you will see what I mean...
DIGIMON FRONTIER:THE REVIVAL OF VALMARMON!
EPISODE 7:Mystery Solved! Who is Controlled by ValToungemon, the Tounge of Valmarmon?!
By Ninetalesuk.
The Digidestined known as Takuya, Koji, Tommy, Kouchi, Zoe and JP that uses the Spirits of the Ancient Warriors searched around the city to find the entrance where it will lead them to the underground ruins of a Temple that surports Granasmon and also, holding a piece of Valmarmon.

"This can't be the ruins of the ancient Granasmon temple!" Kazemon said as she looked at their surroundings. There were a few broken pillars, with some mounts of earth that came through the broken, dull white walls and some holes of the celing. "It doesn't look too holy like..."
"I don't know how or why they did but, I remember that in my book, some of Granamon's temples were destroyed by the battle between the Human Digimon and Beast Digimon." Veemon said. "I guess this is one of them."

"Good question." Beetlemon said. "Something is strange about Gadan, the owner of Skyway."

Bursting through the wall, an ugly mutant spider-like creature with two mouths, one on his head and one underneath, and two big venus-fly trap-like claws, came out and roared as he spotted the Legendary Warriors.
Lobomon was sicken by the sight of the new monster. "I think this guy needs a new apperance!"
"No kidding." Patamon said.
"If only my book has information of the 7 pieces of Valmarmon and we will find out what or who this thing is!" Bokomon said.
Agunimon fired some flaming darts towards the beast. "Get away, ugly! Pyro Darts!!!"
The creature roared as some of the flames hit him and went back into the area he was hiding.
Kazemon noticed where he came out of. "Whatever or whoever that thing was, he was hiding in that temple ruins!"
"Come on!!!" Agunimon said, starting to run. "If he is the piece of Valmarmon, then we shall free this city's troubles!!!"
"He might be leading us into a trap!!" Neemon said, panicing.
"We have to face him sooner or later!" Kumamon said, running alongside Agunimon.
"Let's go!!!" Beetlemon said, as he and the others followed Agunimon and Kumamon into the area where the monster came out of....
When they entered the temple ruins, they found the creature that is part of Valmarmon, looking at the Digidestined and isn't backing down to face them.
"Unless Duskmon has put on some weight, this isn't him." Agunimon joked.
"What is he...?" Veemon gulped.
Lobomon drew out his light sabers (No Star Wars part here) and got into his attack position. "Don't know. All we know is that he is the source of the town's trouble. Caution! Believe me or not, it's smell augurs danger."
"You look delicious little ones." Said the creature, snarling in a disgusting way. "I shall strip your bones of your fine flesh, yes? So tender. So succulent."
"That voice...." Lowemon gasped. "Where have I heard that voice before...."
"Come, let me taste you. And the wings of Valmarmon shall make a fine main course, yes? And the Spirits of the Legendary Warriors will be my desert." Continued the creature.
"Lowemon is right!" Kazemon said. "That voice is familiar...."
*Wait a second... Everyone was hungry except, Gadan... That means..." Beetlemon thought before he gasped. "Its Gadan!!!!"
"Gadan????" Kumamon gasped.
"Ah! Gadan?!?" Agunimon gasped. "Is that you?!? Let me guess, new haircut?"
"I am no longer the foolish weak Gadan!!!" Said the creature. "I am the Tounge of Valmarmon!!! I am the deadly ValToungemon!!!"

(Kazu) Oh, yuck! ValToungemon will eat ANYTHING as long as he gets full. And I hope these guys will escape his Starving TOunge attack. ValToungemon is also the Tounge of Valmarmon... Yuck...
*************************
"I understand this now!!!" Bokomon said. "ValToungemon is affecting the town's tounges!"
"Huh??" Neemon asked, confused.
"Everything we taste! Sweet or sour! Our taste buds are in our tounges! ValToungemon is using some sort of magic to affect the people's tounges so they won't eat!!!" Bokomon explained.
"And Gadan!" Veemon gasped. "The reason he was still eating because he has the piece of Valmarmon inside of him!!!"
"That is correct, my lovely food." ValToungemon said. "And I will eat you for my lunch!!!"
"Sorry but, you won't have you meals right now! Whatever you eaten before was your last meal!" Agunimon said. "Get him!!!"
"You will not win..." ValToungemon said.
Agunimon leapt up and fired a series of flaming darts. "Pyro Darts!!!"
"Lobo Kendo!!!" Yelled Lobomon as he shoved his lightsabers into one of ValToungemon's legs.
Kazemon threw a lot of wind that came out of her hands. "Hurricane Wave!!!"
"Thunder Fist!!!" Yelled Beetlemon, as he slammed ounces of electricity onto ValToungemon.
Kumamon breathed in and blew out winds of coldness. "Crystal Freeze!!!"
A burst of energy came out of the lion's mouth that was on Lowemon's chest. "Endlich Meteor!!!"
ValToungemon groaned slightly as 6 attacks struck all around him. "That is the best you can do!!! I think I will need some more energy...."
"Hey!!!" Called out a voice as 4 Digimon that is crossover of a bat and a monkey, came out of some holes and flew in front of ValToungemon. "We are trying to get some sleep here!!!"
"Those are Vilemon!!!!" Bokomon screamed. "What are they doing here?!?!"
"They live here." Patamon said.
***DIGIMON INFORMATION***
NAME:Vilemon.
LEVEL:Champion.
TYPE:Virus.
Evil Digimon.
ATTACKS:Nightmare Shocker, Scratch
(Henry) These guys don't know what they are up against. Vilemon are small but, their Nightmare Shocker CAN hurt you. I bet their attacks can't hurt ValToungemon though..."
*************************
"Well, well, well." ValToungemon said, cackling. "Some treats for me."
"How dare you say we are food!" The Vilemon said, together. They all opened their mouths and small rings of shockwaves came out of their mouths. "Nightmare Shocker!!!"
ValToungemon laughed as Vilemon's attack did nothing to him. "That is the best you can do?"
The Vilemon gulped together. "Who is this guy?"
"That is the Tounge of Valmarmon!!!" Bokomon shouted.
"Oh no!!! Not the Tounge of Valmarmon!!! Anything but that!!!" The Vilemon paniced before they scrathed their heads in confusion. "Who is Valmarmon?"
Bokomon sweatdropped. "Oh brother..."
Neemon had a quick thing. "Thats a good question. Who IS Valmarmon?"
"Oh, for goodness sake!!!" Bokomon said, as he fell to the ground.
ValToungemon laughed. "Nothing like good old entertainment. Now, let's fest!!!" He stopped moving and a brown orb with tentacles and a mouth that opened up, appeared above him. "Dinner time!!! Straving Tounge!!!"
The Vilemon screamed as they were sucked into ValToungemon's special attack. When they were inside the Starving Tounge, the orb's mouth made an eating motion before exploding into data and loaded into ValToungemon. All that remains of the four Vilemon were 4 Digi-eggs that left the ruin temple.
"Oh man!!!" Agunimon gasped as Kazemon and Lobomon joined him. "We have to stop him before we are next on his menu!!!"
"But, how?" Kazemon asked. "We didn't even made a scratch on him."
"As Human warriors, no. But, what about Beast warriors?" Lobomon asked.
"Good idea!" Agunimon said. "Everyone! Become your Beast forms!"
"Not so fast!" ValToungemon said. "I'm still hungry! Guillotine!!!" He began to suck in deeply, bring Agunimon, Kazemon and Lobomon towards his mouth.
"Hey!!! What is he doing?!" Agunimon gasped, as he grabbed the ground hard with one hand and grabbed Lobomon's arm with the other. "He already had the Vilemon!!!"
"I guess it was his starter!" Lobomon said, as he grabbed Kazemon's leg.
Kazemon turned to Beetlemon, Kumamon, Lowemon, Bokomon, Neemon, Veemon and Patamon, who were all safe from danger. "Help us, you guys!"
"Hold on! I'll help you!" Beetlemon said, as he was covered by Digi-code.
"Here we go!!!" Kumamon added, as he was also covered by Digi-code.
Lowemon was also covered by Digi-code as he said. "We are coming!"
"BEETLEMON!!! SLIDE-EVOLUTION!!! METALKABUTERIMON!!!"
"KUMAMON!!! SLIDE-EVOLUTION!!! KORIKKAKUMON!!!"
"LOWEMON!!! SLIDE-EVOLUTION!!! KAISERLEOMON!!!"
ValToungemon was so busy trying to suck Agunimon, Kazemon and Lobomon into his mouth that he didn't noticed MetalKabuterimon aiming towards his mouth with the cannon on his head.
"No one will eat my friends!" MetalKabuterimon said. "Electron Cannon!!!"
ValToungemon screamed in pain as he felt the special attack of MetalKabuterimon into his mouth. "ARGH!!! This taste disgusting!!!"
"You are the one to talk!" Kazemon said, as he landed on the ground while Lobomon helped Agunimon up to the ground.
"I think I will take that as an insult!" ValToungemon growled.
"And he just found out now?" Lobomon joked.
"Frozen Arrowheads!!!" Korikkakumon called out, as he fired his dreadlocks, grabbing him and holding him in the air from behind. "How is the view up there? Bet ya didn't know about me creeping up from behind you, huh?!"
"Get me down from here!!!" ValToungemon cried out.
"Let me think about it. NO!" Korikkakumon called out. "KaiserLeomon, go for it!"
"Right! Hey, pal! Chew on this!!" KaiserLeomon roared as he leapt up, covered in darkness. "Schwarz König!!!"
"NO!!!!! HOW COULD I LOSE!?!?!?" ValToungemon cried out as KaiserLeomon went through him and Korikkakumon dropped him onto the ground. As he hitted the floor, Digi-code started to surround him. KaiserLeomon knew what he has to do now...
"KAISERLEOMON!!! SLIDE-EVOLUTION!!! LOWEMON!!!"
"I'm hungry...." Moaned ValToungemon, dazed and defeated.
"Seems you are a bit tounge-tied." Lowemon said, as he held his D-Tector out. "Let this Digivice purify your soul! DIGI-CODE SCAN!!!"
The Digi-code of ValToungemon went into Kouchi's D-Tector, along with a small object with a tounge upon it. When ValToungemon vanished, Gadan was in his place...
"Did we beat him...?" Patamon asked.
"We beat him!" Veemon said, with a nod.
Korikkakumon bended down and picked up Gadan's body. "We better get him to Angewomon."
"Then, we better go back the way we came through." MetalKabuterimon said.
Agunimon noticed a stairway. "Hold on a second..."
"What is it?" Lobomon asked.
Agunimon walked over to the staircase and started to go up. "I have a feeling this stairway is going to help us.
"Be careful!!!" Kazemon called out.
Agunimon went up and up until he came to a door. He opened it and peered inside. He gasped when he reconised where he was. "This.. This is Gadan's mantion!!!"
Later, the Digidestined were back in their human forms, standing over Gadan's body in the church with Angewomon.
"Angewomon? What has happened to Gadan?" Zoe asked.
Angewomon kneeled beside Gadan and sighed. "Something happened to him when he became possessed with the Tounge of Valmarmon inside of him..."
"What do you mean...?" JP said, worried.
"Our holy book contains a passage that speaks of this. First Valmarmon possesses one's soul, and then devours it." Angewomon said.
"Hey, thats what Angemon told us." Tommy said. "Maybe this is what happened to Gadan!"
"Yes... The poor man. Valmarmon took advantage of the weakness of his Soul." Angewomon said.
"He was after the Wings of Valmarmon I have got from Carbos Village." Kouchi said. "Why is that?"
Angewomon shook her head sadly. "The pieces of Valmarmon wants to devour each other. When one piece was able to devour all 6 pieces, Valmarmon will be reborn!"
"That explains why Gadan thought Kouchi smelled lovely to eat!" Veemon said.
"He was catching the scent of the Wings of Valmarmon inside Kouchi's D-Tector!" Bokomon said. "Yes, that explains it all..."
"Angewomon... What is going to happen to Gadan?" Takuya
Angewomon smiled kindly at Takuya. "Nothing. He needs some rest now. Thanks to you, his soul wasn't fully devoured. He will be fine..."
The gang sighed, relieved.
Koji looked out of the window and smiled. "We did it, you guys. We saved Lugia City!"
"We sure did." Kouchi added, with a smile.
"And as a special reward, I will make the Skyway free for you to ride tomorrow." Angewomon said.
"Thank you!!!" Zoe said, with a smile.
Takuya opened the door and started to walk out. "All right, everyone. We will head back to the inn. Now its ValToungemon-free, I'm sure the innkeeper will give us REAL food instead of that Arum Root stuff!"
"Yeah!" Tommy agreed.
"Goodbye, everyone." Angewomon said, smiling. "Good luck on your journey!!!"
"Bye!" Veemon called out.
"Good luck, Seraphimon." Angewomon smiled.
Patamon blushed. "Thank you. Bye."
Neemon waved goodbye. "Bye bye Ange-who-mon..."
"Ange-WO-mon!!!" The Ultimate angel giggled when she hear Bokomon yelling and pulling Neemon's pants with a SLAP!!!
Along the Digidestined's way to the Lugia Inn, they met up with the male Houndoom, the female Umbreon and the small male Eevee hybrids.
"Feeling better?" Takuya asked.
The Houndoom nodded with a smile. "Thanks to Patamon and your party. Thank you very much."
"I am so glad that we are back to normal." The Umbreon said, also with a smile. "I just cannot thank you enough."
"Thank you, miss!" The little Eevee said, smiling at Zoe.
"No problem." JP said. "Glad we could help..."
"I have something important to do, so……" The Houndoom said before he and his family walked off.
Zoe sighed. "So, measure for measure, all's well that ends well. The townsfolk have been saved, and all is as it should be." Then, her face went into a grim. "Mr. Gadan, well, he took care of his body, but, not his soul. Perhaps this was his error."
"He was right, to a certain extent." JP said.
"What do you mean?" Zoe asked, confused.
JP looked up to the sky. "The people of this town, they sacrificed their well-being for the promise of wealth. Gadan didn't have to do anything, really, the people decided what they wanted. A subtle trap."
"But, still. The trap has been sprung." Veemon said. "All has been put right. If everyone works together, happiness will return to even this broken world, it feels like that Lord Granasmon is watching over us."
Takuya kneeled beside Veemon. "I think you've missed the point entirely, buddy. The story doesn't end here. We don't all hold hands and skip home."
"It doesn't?" Neemon asked.
"No..." Takuya said, with a laugh. "The world is not so black and white. The answers aren't as pat as you'd like to believe."
"What else do you mean?" Veemon asked.
"You'll find out eventually." Takuya said, before he started to walk away. "Come on, we've yet to
cross the Granacliffs! Tomorrow, we are just a little father to the Cathedral!"
And with that, they headed towards the Inn. Overnight, they had a good meal instead of eating the Arum Root and had a good nightsleep. Next morning, they got up and boarded the Skyway.
Tommy looked out of the window as the SKyway was over the middle of the Granascliffs. He sighed and sat down beside Takuya and Patamon.
"I can't believe this adventure is coming to an end." Takuya said. "When we arrive, its just head on over to the Holy Cathedral as the Legendary Warriors and have Zera destroy the Wings and Tounge of Valmarmon..."
"This adventure isn't coming to an end..." Kouchi said. "We have to stop Duskmon!!!"
JP placed his hand on Kouchi's shoulder. "Calm down, Kouchi. You are right. We do have to stop Duskmon. I wonder how he can exist without you...."
Kouchi was silent. "I... I don't know..."
"Well, all I know is that Valmarmon will never return when Zera destroys those 2 pieces you have collected, Kouchi." Veemon said, with a smile. "He needs all 7 to come back and this is not going to happen, right?"
"Right." Kouchi said, with a nod.
"I wonder what the 5 other pieces are..." Zoe wondered.
"Dunno..." Bokomon said. "Just be glad it stays that way..."
"Yeah..." Patamon nodded.
Neemon fell asleep.
"Okay, everyone. When we arrive at the Cathedral, evolve into your Human forms and lets go and meet the pope of Granasmon!" Takuya said.
"Right!" Zoe, Koji, Tommy, Kouchi and JP said.
Suddenly, there was a screeching noise from the ship as it started to rock about...
"Wha... What is going on???" Bokomon cried out.
Outside, a big red dark moon glowed angry as it changed the white cliffs of Granasmon into red. The Skyway ship was being tossed and turned and threw the ship away. To the other side of the Granascliffs..... At that point, an evil dark laughter was heard....
TO BE CONTINUED...
(Rika) Oh no!!! Will Takuya and the others be okay?! To find out, wait until the next chapter of the Revivial of Valmarmon!!!
And now, the drama starts... Wait until you read chapters 8 to 10 and you will see what I mean...
