(Guardromon) After being seperated from the other Digidestined from their crash in the Skyway, Kouchi had a surprising visit from Duskmon. After Duskmon left, the others were able to find him and headed to a small town called Articuno Village where there is a curse working on the people, to make them sleep and sleep forever. Meeting with Eva and her mother Flara and meeting Velene, leader of the Holy Cathedral Knightmon, the Digidestined faces a new opponent during the night as they met 4 strange eyeball bat creatures and with that, they followed them into a strange fissure. What is going on here?!
DIGIMON FRONTIER:THE REVIVAL OF VALMARMON!
EPISODE 9:Come Forth,ExVeemon! The Piece of Valmarmon is Nearby!!!
By Ninetalesuk.
Deep in the fissure at the back of the Articuno Village, the Digidestined ventured into the cave to find 4 eyeball bat creatures that are causing the people to sleep forever. It already took Canine, the owner of the Articuno Inn and who knows who has fallen asleep by the powers from those strange creatures...
Takuya, Koji, Kouchi, JP, Zoe, Tommy, Bokomon, Neemon, Veemon and Patamon walked slowly, keeping their eyes out for anythign that might attack them. As if problems wasn't enough for them, they had to deal with Velene, the Priestess of the Holy Cathedral Knights that only consists of Knightmon. Was was strange about Velene was that she was underneath a robe and no one could see her face. They thing that wasn't covered of Velene were her grey hands, her grey dog-like feet and a bushy black-grey tail. She is most mysterious...
JP, Tommy and Zoe stopped as they arrived at some strange looking ruins. Pillars, in fact.
"Look at these pillars." Tommy said. "I wonder what they are doing here..."
JP ran his hand down one of the pillars and looked at it. His hand was now dusty and dirty. "This pillars look like ancient ruins."
Zoe's eyes lit up. "Ancient ruins... Does that mean..."
"Hey, you guys!" Called Takuya as he, Koji, Kouchi, Bokomon, Neemon, Patamon and Veemon stood at a cave entrance. "Come on, we have found something!"
"Coming!" Tommy called out as he, Zoe and JP ran up to catch up with the others.
The Digidestined slowly entered a eerie place. Water floats solemnly around them as they walked along the rocks to reach a familiar object... a big b lue crystal orb...
"This... This is a Seal of Granasmon!" Bokomon gasped. "That means, whatever was in it, a piece of Valmarmon is inside that thing!"
"Not any longer..." Koji said. "Look at it!"
Kouchi bended nearer and frowned as he took a closer look at the Seal of Granasmon. There was black cracks around the orb. "The seal is broken..."
Zoe walked to the shrine, looked down and gasped. She bended down to pick up some bunch of flowers. "I have seen these flowers before... but, where...?"
"Better question." JP said. "How does these flowers get into the shrine where the Seal of Granasmon in the first place?!"
"Err... guys." Veemon gulped. "We have company..."
The group looked up and gasped as they saw the 4 eyeball bat creatures descending upon the group. They stared at the Digidestined, not making a muscle.
"Wha... What are these...?" Tommy shuddered.
To their surprise, the eyeball creatures spoke. "We are minions of our Lord Valmarmon, the Evil God that will lead us into victory. Call us EyeBatmon."
"EyeBatmon...?" Neemon asked.

(Takato) Hmm... EyeBatmon's name is weird but, their attacks can hit you hard like Rhydon's tackle attack! Tri-Burst Ram sounds really nasty.
*************************
"Why... Why did you do this?!" Kouchi asked, anger in his voice. "Why did you put these people under your spell?! Why?!"
"By the order of our master..." The EyeBatmon said. "And those who stand in our way must DIE! We give you a warning. Leave now or DIE!!!"
"They love the word 'die', don't they?" Patamon said, gulping.
"Not by a long shot!" Takuya announced.
"EXECUTE!!! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!!" "AGUNIMON!!!" "LOBOMON!!!" "KAZEMON!!!" "LOWEMON!!!" "KUMAMON!!!" "BEETLEMON!!!"
"All right!!!" Agunimon yelled out. "This will teach you to mess with people's feelings!" With that, he threw his fists out as they were covered in flames. "Pyro Punch!"
The EyeBatmon moved out of the way as Agunimon's Pyro Punch soared away. "You didn't heed our warnings and you now must pay! Attack!"
"Here they come!" Lobomon called out.
"No kidding!" Beetlemon said, as he tried to swat the EyeBatmon away.
"Ramming!" One of the EyeBatmon yelled out as he rammed Kumamon in the back before the Human Warrior of Ice could move out of the way.
"Ahh!!!!!" Yelled Kumamon as he crashed into the ground, changing back into Tommy. "That was nothing more than a cheap shot!"
"Tommy!" Veemon called out. "Are you okay?!"
Tommy nodded. "I'm fine. But, what about the others?!"
"This is for Tommy!" Kazemon cried out as she started to spin like a top, swinging her legs all over the place. "Tempest Twist!!!"
But, the EyeBatmon have other ideas. They all glowed and surrounded Kazemon as she stopped spinning. "Your turn to suffer! Tri-Burst Ram!!!"
Kazemon screamed as she felt 4 agonising pain through her body as the four EyeBatmon crashed into her, changing her back into Zoe. "AHHH!!!!!!!!! Stop this, please!!!"
"Kazemon!!!" Beetlemon yelled out.
"This is bad..." Bokomon said. "If this keeps up, the Warriors will fall to EyeBatmon."
"What shall we do?" Neemon asked.
Veemon's expression came determanation as he charged forward to a unsuspecting EyeBatmon. "Leave my friends alone!" With that, he leapt into the air. "Vee-Headbutt!"
The EyeBatmon squealed as he was knocked down. Veemon took a deep breath but, realised that the EyeBatmon surrounded him.
"That hurt!" Said the EyeBatmon that attacked by Veemon. "You will pay for that!"
"Veemon!" Lowemon gasped.
Zoe's eyes widen in fear for her friend. "Veemon, get out of there!"
"No!" Veemon yelled out. "I'm not running away! I'm going to fight! To help my friends!" He turns to the EyeBatmon with anger in his eyes. "And no one will hurt my friends!!!"
The EyeBatmon gasped when Veemon began to glow and Digi-code surrounded him.
"Veemon..." Agunimon gasped.
Patamon cheered. "Hes Digivolving!!!"
*Veemon....... Digivolve to....... EXVEEMON!!!*
Neemon screamed. "AHHH!! ShadowExVeemon is back!!!!!" From that quote, he got a sharp pants slap from Bokomon. "AHHHHH!!!!! The Pants Slap is back!!!!!"
"Oh, shut up..." Bokomon sighed.
"ExVeemon..." Tommy gasped at the sight of a muscular blue dragon with white wings, a horn, a X-shape on his chest and doesn't look scary. "Wow.... Veemon's true Champion form...?"
***DIGIMON INFORMATION***
NAME:ExVeemon.
LEVEL:Champion.
TYPE:Vaccine.
Mythical Dragon Digimon.
ATTACKS:Vee Laser, Critical Crunch
(Bokomon) That is correct, Tommy. ExVeemon is a warrior of pure good and he will stand up to anyone. If things go tough, he will unleash his Vee Laser to strike his enemy down!!!
*************************
"I did it..." ExVeemon mumbled as he looked at his body. "I finally Digivolve without becoming that monsterious ShadowExVeemon!!!"
"Get him!!!" The EyeBatmon yelled as they zoomed towards the blue dragon. "We will win!"
"You are wrong." ExVeemon said as he swatted the EyeBatmon away like flies."We are the ones who will win!!!"
"Get him, ExVeemon!" Patamon yelled.
"Bring him down!" Agunimon smiled.
The EyeBatmon fell into a pile and slowly looked up to see ExVeemon charging up his attack. "Special delivery!!! Vee Laser!!!"
An explosion appeared as the Vee Laser struck the EyeBatmon, whom didn't had time to scream when their Digi-code started to circle around.
"Now what...?" Neemon asked.
"This is 'now what', my friends!" Beetlemon said, as he held his D-Tector up. "By the Power of Thunder, I hereby taking away your powers for evil! This Digivice will help me do so. Say goodnight... Digi-code SCAN!!!!"
The 4 EyeBatmon were gone and 4 Digi-eggs were left behind and zoomed away.
Zoe smiled as the EyeBatmon were defeated. "You guys did it! So, now the villages may be...."
"No!!!" Agunimon yelled. "These things are small change. Nothing like Gadan. The real deal is somewhere else."
"What do you mean?" Beetlemon asked.
"Think about it, you guys." ExVeemon said. "These Seal of Granasmon only hold the pieces of Valmarmon. The EyeBatmon are one of the loyal servants of Valmarmon. Whatever broke free of that seal created this creatures..."
"I don't get it..." Neemon said.
"Let me put it in chess terms." Lobomon said. "This piece of Valmarmon that was freed is the king and thos EyeBatmon are nothing more than pawns!"
"Thats right!" Patamon said as he flew above the crystal ball. "Their powers may be peculiar, but our true enemy would not meet defeat so easily."
"It... It cannot be..." Zoe gasped.
"Darn it!!" Roared Lowemon. "Valmarmon must be somewhere! If we're not killing the source, we're just killing time!"
The next morning, the Digidestined were back at the inn to plan their next move. Takuya, JP, Kouchi, Bokomon and Neemon sat at the table.
"Takuya, is this really the work of Valmarmon?" Bokomon asked.
"As the Seal of Granasmon is broken, I'm afraid its true." Takuya said.
"Besides, those EyeBatmon DID say they were servants of a piece of Valmarmon." JP said.
Kouchi sighed. "And I think I got a pretty good idea what the next piece of Valmarmon is going to be, you guys. A pretty good idea..."
"What do you think what is the next piece going to be?" Neemon asked.
Before Kouchi could answer, Zoe came down the stairs with Tommy as they left Canine's room.
"Zoe? Tommy? How is Canine doing?" Takuya asked.
Zoe sighed sadly. "Not well, she will not wake, just like her son."
The front door of the inn opened and Koji came in with Veemon and Patamon.
"Koji! How are the villagers?" Bokomon asked.
Koji shook his head. "Not good. 7, including Canine, fell ill last night by EyeBatmon's curse."
"And those who didn't fallen under EyeBatmon's spell, they had nightmares again." Veemon said.
"Man... Did anyone of us had nightmares thanks to those flying spying bats?" Takuya asked.
Kouchi was silent till he answered. "I did..."
"You did?!" Patamon asked. "What about?!"
The Digidestined of Darkness sighed. "That nightmare was when I was Duskmon, facing against you guys as Agunimon, KendoGarurumon, MetalKabuterimon, Korikkakumon and Zephyrmon... I raised my sword to slice Agunimon in half and KendoGarurumon got in the way and I...."
"I remember..." Koji sighed. "Its all right... I'm not hurt or angry..."
"Koji... Thank you..." Kouchi said, giving out a slight smile.
JP walked over to the front window and stared out of it. "Someone, in this very village, must be possessed by that piece of Valmarmon. And this very same person is controlling those EyeBatmon. The question is.... who...?"
"Do you think it is Eva...?" Neemon asked.
Bokomon quickly grabbed Neemon's pants, streched them and let go making a very loud *SLAP!!!* "You idiot!!!!! How could you say THAT?!"
"Thats right!" Zoe said. "Eva can't be Valmarmon's next victim! She is just an innocent girl! Right? I mean, if I recall, only the wicked are open to Valmarmon! Eva has done nothing wrong!"
Before their conversation could continue, a Nidorina hybrid opened the door and peered inside. "Excuse me. The High Priestess Velene is conducting an investigation, so she has ordered everyone to meet in the town hall." With that, she left.
"Takuya, we ought to inform Velene of what we saw last night. This villain is not of this village! Not even a person! Nor a Pokemon hybrid!" Tommy finally said.
"I know, except where IS the town hall?" Takuya asked.
Patamon flew in front of Takuya. "We saw it. Its that big building near the inn!"
"Come on then! Let's move before Velene decides to frame someone. " Takuya said as he led the Digidestined out of the inn.
The Digidestined walked out of the inn and headed to the Articuno Village Town Hall, with puzzlement over the eyeballish plot. As the Digidestined walked into the inn, they noticed the sleeping people that lied on the mats. They noticed there was the female Espeon, the male Houndour and the female Spearow that they met yesterday. Yet, Velene wasn't there.
"Didn't take them long to round up the town." JP said, as he looked at the sleeping bodies.
"How awful..." Patamon said, looking sadly at a female Vaporeon hybrid.
At that point, Velene entered the room. She still wore the cloak the covered her body except her grey tail, grey dog-feet and grey dog-paws. She looked at the sleeping bodies and shook her head.
"Velene..." Veemon gasped.
"Such a pitiful sight." Velene said. "We must attend to the purification immediately. We will find the bedeviled one without delay."
"You're sniffing up the wrong leg, priestess!" Takuya said. "We saw the darkness last night. Flying eyeball Digimon called EyeBatmon!! They should be dealt with first."
"Flying eyeball Digimon called EyeBatmon, you say? How droll." Velene said. "Yet, the things you saw may indeed have been servants of Valmarmon."
"Thats right!" Tommy said. "And we must search them out!"
Velene sighed. "However, they are merely servants. I doubt Valmarmon would appear in such a form or fashion, hmmm? Chasing after such, whimsical beasts would not solve our problem. Valmarmon
seizes upon the darkness in the heart, not the eye."
Takuya's blood was boiling to a hot point and he was *REALLY* mad. "Are you even listening to a thing we say? Or are you too eager to purify the entire down! What in the worlds wrong with you?!" He yelled out.
"I beg of you, high priestess! Save the villagers!" Zoe said.
Velene nodded. "Oh yes, they shall be saved. You see, there is one with a corrupt soul who has brought disaster to this village. What would happen if we were to permit Valmarmon to roam freely about the land? Could you imagine that, Patamon?"
Patamon landed on Bokomon's head and bowed his head. "Yes....."
"Well, then. I shall have the cooperation of everyone in the village. I shall discover the identity of the treacherous one. Then we need not purify the entire village." Velene said before giving a smirk and left the building.
"You guys!" Veemon said. "We cannot let her proceed. You know how this will end!!!"
"We know, we know!" Kouchi said. "I know. But we have to find out who or what is controlling those EyeBatmon! I mean, that's just sick. To make people relive their worst nightmares."
"But, where do you think those EyeBatmon come from?" Tommy asked.
"I have one suggestion..." Bokomon said.
"Let's hear it." JP said.
Bokomon nodded. "Well, I would advise a deeper hunt into that fissure that held that broken Seal of Granasmon. Our answers could be hidden somewhere in there."
"Sounds like a plan." Takuya said as he walked to the door. "Come on, the sooner we find the answers, the sooner the villager's problems will be gone."
Once again, the Digidestined headed to the fissure after leaving the Town Hall. Since the mysterious fissure lives in the back of the village, Takuya and the others headed to Flara's house as the fissure is behind the building. But, before the Digidestined could venture any futhur... A familiar, child-like voice called them.
"Hi, guys!" Called out the voice as the Digidestined turned around to see little Eva, running up to them in high energy.
"Hello little Eva." Zoe said, smiling.
Eva smiled to Zoe. "Did you come to see me? Did you want to play?"
"What do you mean?" Zoe asked, confused.
"Let's go to a fun place." Eva said, as she ran over to the back of her house. "To a place where there's no suffering and no pain. No bad memories!"
"Hey, Eva!" Neemon called. "Should you be out? Will your mother worry?"
"Oh, its fine. We're going to a happy place after all!" Eva said, before she walked into the shed that was behind Flara's house.
"That Eva. There is something a little odd about her." JP said.
"I wonder what it was she meant?" Tommy added.
Takuya walked over the shed. "Only one way to find out. Let's follow her."
The Digidestined walked into the shed and saw Eva standing in front of a mirror and a hole in the wooden floor. Eva turned around when she saw the Digidestined.
"My mother had a hard time because of me. She would buy medicine and look for herbs, working from dawn until dusk. It is all my fault, but my mother's praying healed me." Eva said, sadly.
To their shock, Eva walked to the hole and dropped right through it.
"Eva!!!!!" Veemon cried out as he and the others ran over to the hole to drop right through and to follow the young Eevee hybrid girl.
When the Digidestined landed, they were shocked to see where they are. In a cave.... Also, they were shocked when they realised which part of the cave they landed in. All except 2...
"Next time, you nitwit..." Bokomon grumbled as he rubbed his head, speaking to Neemon. "Don't land on my head!!!"
"But, it was soft..." Neemon said before spotting what the others spotted. "Oh, theres that pretty crystal ball again..."
"What pretty crystal ball?!" Bokomon cried out before spotting a familiar object. "Oh my word.... It... It cannot be....."
"It is..." Patamon cried out. "We are in the room where the Seal of Granasmon is!!!"
Indeed, the Digidestined stood on some rocks that will lead them to the broken Seal of Granasmon where the EyeBatmon were. And what is worst that the area of where the seal is hidden is right UNDERNEATH Flara's house... The Digidestined ran up to Eva, who was standing underneath the broken Seal of Granasmon.
"I don't think people should fight. Everyone just suffers. We can learn to like each other. Why do they always blame other people?" Eva asked. "Nobody wants to be hated. I'll make it so everyone can get along! I want to help everyone!"
"So, so- Eva, you...." Zoe gasped.
"It is really a nice place. I'm gonna have everyone come to the Garden of Dreams. No one will fight. Everyone will live together peacefully. They'll forget all the bad things. Come on! Let's all go into the dream!" Eva said.
Before the Digidestined could react, they were blinded by a dazzling light from Eva herself as she emits a great glow. When they uncovered their eyes, they found themselves back in the Garden of Dreams where they first met Eva yesterday.
"This... This can't be happening..." Whimpered Veemon.
"When I was cured, I was so happy. But I was also sad cause I could see things I could not before. My mother also wanted to get along with the villagers. But everyone lies and hates each other. They keep blaming others for bad things. Everyone suffers in their heart." Eva said before turning to the Digidestined, smiling. "I want everyone to come here and get along. This is the Garden of Happiness. Everyone who comes here is happy. They forget the bad memories and suffering, the people all become fairies. And they live happily here. Look, see how many fairies there are now? Isn't everyone happy?"
Zoe stared at the small fairies that hovered in front of her. Zoe knew that amongst those fairies is Canine and Growly... She screamed at Eva. "Stop it!"
"Why?" Eva asked, confused.
"You are not doing anything wrong, but, but..." But, Zoe stopped before she could finish as she noticed something on Eva.
Something shone on Eva's forehead... The part where she once had a scar was now replaced by something even more shocking.... an.... eye!!!!!!
"I just want to make everyone happy." Eva said, didn't notice Zoe's horrified face.
The others noticed what Zoe saw. "That Eye!!!!" JP shouted
Eva giggled. "This is the eye that Granasmon gave me. It's how I can see everything."
Veemon ran up to Eva. "No! Stop it! Do not make them suffer any more!"
Eva looked confused. "Suffer? I don't make anyone suffer. Everyone here is happy. There's no sadness here. Outside, everyone lies, so they suffer. They pretend to be nice but they act mean. The only one I trust is mother."
"No, Eva!" Veemon shuddered. "This isn't right... Please... STOP IT!!!"
Eva gasped then, looked angry. "Huh? Why're you doing this? Why're all of you coming after me! Is this not the eye of Granasmon? Well, isn't it? Aren't you all the same as me? Miss Zoe?"
Zoe walked up to Eva, bended down and hugged her. "No! NO!!!" With that, Eva pushed her away and walked a few meters, staring into the sky.
"I... I can't believe this...." Takuya said.
"Eva.... is possessed by... a piece of Valmarmon..." JP shuddered.
"But, why Eva? She is so innocent..." Tommy asked.
"Its because Valmarmon took over her body when she was depressed. When a child is blind, deaf, can't speak or can't move, they become depressed." Koji explained. "Since Eva was depressed because she was born blind, Valmarmon took her advantage and not only gave her sight back but, also gave her the power to summon those EyeBatmon."
"And we all know what piece of Valmarmon Eva is possessed by." Neemon said.
Kouchi nodded. "Yes. The Eye of Valmarmon!!!"
Eva gasped and started to run. "MOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Eva!!!" Patamon cried out. "Wait!!!!!"
With that, Eva vanished into thin air... Leaving the Digidestine behind.
"How... How did she do that..?" Neemon gasped.
"The Eye of Valmarmon must have given Eva the power to teleport." Bokomon said.
"Why did Eva ran off?" Patamon asked.
"Something might be going down at the village." Takuya said as he ran off. "We've got to get back there, come on!!!" With that, the Digidestined followed Takuya out of the Garden of Dreams and headed to the Articuno Village.
Meanwhile, back at the Articuno Village, something terrible is happening. Flara stood at the door of her house as Velene and 4 of her Knightmon stood in front of her with the Jolteon chief standing with the Nidorina and a male Charmeleon hybrid.
"I don't know anything!" Flara screamed out. "My daughter was miraculously cured by the power of Granasmon! I prayed and prayed for her. Leave her out of this!"
Velene shook her head. "The blessing of Granasmon are not to be bestowed on the likes of you. Where is your daughter? Speak truly, for the both of you are surely minions of Valmarmon!"
"No, no that cannot be...." Flara said, shaking.
Velene turned to the Jolteon chief, the Nidorina and the Charmeleon. "Well, well. What shall we do with a mother and a child who conspire with the powers of darkness? Will you people side with Darkness? Know that if you heed the words of the words of the witch, you must be prepared for the
consequences. Will you take the Side of Good of Granasmon or the Side of Evil of Valmarmon? Choose very carefully."
The Nidorina stepped up. "You devil! No! You evil witch! Just what are you trying to do? Release the curse on the village, quickly! What is the grudge you bear!?"
"What is it we have done!?" Flara said as she grabbed Velene's arm. "My daughter and I have done nothing! Please, tell me!"
"Release me!" Velene said coldly as she pushed Flara onto the ground.
"Ah!" Flara screamed as she hit her head on the ground to be out-cold.
"Mother!" Cried out Eva as she ran up to the Flareon before glaring at Velene with angry eyes. "Leave my mother alone! It isn't her fault everyone suffers!"
Velene saw the Eye of Valmarmon on Eva's forehead. "That evil eye! Is see we have discovered the power of Valmarmon!"
At the front gate, the Digidestined entered and headed to the back of the village. They past through some Pokemon hybrids who were watching and snuck past the 4 remaining Knightmon and quickly ran up to the knocked-out form of Flara.
Takuya bended beside Flara and breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that Flara is still breathing. "Flara is okay. Just what is happening here?!"
"You can no longer escape." Said Velene.
Zoe turned around to see Velene standing beside a Knightmon while the other 3 stood near the villagers. Standing a few meters away from Velene was.... "Eva?!"
"Bokomon! Neemon! Patamon! Veemon! Stay with Flara!" Takuya said. "The rest of you, come with me! Time for the Warriors to stand up!"
"Right!" JP said, nodding.
Takuya, Koji, Kouchi, JP, Zoe and Tommy ran towards were Eva was, stood in front of the small Eevee hybrid girl and glared at Velene.
"What are you doing? How many of you does it take to handle a single girl!? Leave her be!" Koji yelled out, his voice in anger.
"Do not interfere with my task. Or are you too in collusion with evil?" Velene asked.
Kouchi's turn to stand up. "This girl doesn't even know what's happening? Look at her! Just look at her! A Servant of Good should be extending a hand of redemption, not raising an iron fist."
"Don't be a fool, boy! We merely follow the will of Granasmon!" Velene snapped back. We are here to cleanse the world of Evil... And, if you do not move, Knightmon will teach you a lesson."
"We are not backing down!!!" Takuya shouted, as he drew his D-Tector out!
Koji pulled his D-Tector out as well. "Count me in!!!"
"I'm not letting you take her away!" Kouchi said, drawing his D-Tector out. "We will fight to the end to save her!"
"Thats right!" JP said, also bringing his Digivice out. "We will even battle against the Knightmon to save her!"
"So, get ready to send them as soon as you are over the shock!" Zoe said, drawing her D-Tector out and glared at the priestess.
"Foolish beings..." Velene said. "What can you do to stop me from taking that girl away?"
"Watch and learn!!!" Tommy yelled out, holding his D-Tector out.
"EXECUTE!!! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!!" "AGUNIMON!!!" "LOBOMON!!!" "BEETLEMON!!!" "KAZEMON!!!" "LOWEMON!!!" "KUMAMON!!!"
The villagers gasped as they saw 6 human childrens becoming Legendary Warrior Digimon.
"Its.. Its amazing..." The Jolteon chief gasped. "The Legendary Warriors of Flame, Light, Darkness, Ice, Wind and Thunder..."
"Hmm..." Velene smirked. "Lobomon of Light... He will help me... Lobomon! Come, bring the girl to me. Right now!"
Lobomon drew his Light Saber out and held it to Velene in a threating way. "I think you will need your eyes checked! We may be the Legendary Warriors on the outside but, we ARE the human children in the inside!"
"Now, listen to me!" Kazemon said. "There must be some other way we can save her. There must be!"
"Impossible! There is no salvation for one possessed by Valmarmon." Velene said. "I cannot believe the Legendary Warriors would try to protect one who has rejected the Goodness of Granasmon and embraced the evil of Valmarmon!"
"I-I..." Kumamon studdered.
"Everyone! Don't listen to her! We are better then that! There's no wrong in protecting the helpless. And if Granasmon has a problem with that, you can tell heaven that your god will find to get through me to hurt my friends!" Agunimon yelled out.
Lobomon nodded. "Thats right..."
Lowemon turned to the villagers and said. "And what about you people? Is this child a sinner?
Both mother and child have lived among you! Do you truly wish to damn them both?"
The villagers didn't know what to say and they all bowed their heads. Eva turned around to see her mother, Flara, recovering her fall and was standing up, holding her head.
"Mother!!!" Eva cried out, as she ran over to Flara.
"Ah! Eva!?" Flara gasped as she saw her daughter running towards her. She smiled, but then... She saw the Eye of Valmarmon on Eva's head. "But, that eye!!? *Gasps* You are a...."
Eva blinked and finished Flara's scentence with pain in her voice. ".........A monster. You called me a monster! Even my own mother!!"
Kazemon ran over to Eva and hugged her. "Eva, please! Be calm! Your mother is just a little
shocked. Thats all."
"Am I? A monster?" Eva said before she screamed and tried to pull away from Kazemon's grasp. "Nooooooooo! Let go of me! Leave me alone! All of you! Leave me alone!" With that, she vanishes in a bright light and flew Kazemon on the ground.
"What has happened?" Velene said before she glared at the other Warriors. "You?! If you had not interfered, Evil would not still plague the land. This is on your heads!" Velene turned to the Knightmon in a commanding voice. "Separate and search the area. DO not let the demon-child escape!" As the Knightmon left the shocked and sadden villagers with the Jolteon chief, Velene turned to Agunimon. "Agunimon.... I believe I shall not forget what you have done here today." With that, she walked off...
Veemon ran over to Kazemon. "Hey, Kazemon! Are you all right?!"
"I'm fine..." Kazemon said, sadly as she started to get up. "But, Eva is..."
"What, what have I done to Eva?" Flara asked, sadly and to no one.
"Huh?" Neemon asked, confused.
"It's my fault. Everything is my fault." Flara said, starting to sob.
"What's the matter?" Kumamon asked as he walked up to the sobbing Flareon hybrid.
"I thought something was wrong when she said she took Growly to the Garden of Dreams. It was there she discovered the ability to know what others were thinking and feeling. But not only is she able to do this, she can also see what others are doing and where they are." Flara said before she looked up into the sky, tears running down her face. "Even I grew afraid. I pitied Eva. I wanted to do something for her! But how could I have known, Valmarmon was listening to my
prayers. Oh, where did I go wrong?"
"You have done no wrong." Patamon said. "Any parent would have done the same!"
"There is no fault in caring for your own." Beetlemon chimed in. "It is Valmarmon who bears the onus of these events."
Flara sniffed and bowed her head and fell to her knees. "Please, kill her."
The Warriors and the Digimon were shocked when Flara said that.
"Are you nuts??" Agunimon cried out.
"She is beyond hope already. So please, kill her." Flara continued. "Before she causes anymore more grief to the villagers."
Agunimon cried out in anger. "Don't be a fool! We were not protecting her before just so we could kill her now. Do what you will but I am not planning on giving up anytime soon. I'll find a way to save her. With you, or without you."
"How can we stop her?" Lobomon asked.
"Well, we CAN rip that eye right out of her. Good idea or bad idea." Neemon asked.
"Bad idea! If we remove the Eye of Valmarmon from Eva, her soul will shatter and and fade, so it goes as they say..." Bokomon said.
"Darn it!!" Lowemon cursed. "There must be another way!"
"I am completely to blame for her suffering." Flara said. "If there is no way to save her, then please, put her out of her misery."
"But.... But...." Kumamon tried to say.
"What are we going to do??" Kazemon asked, holding her head in grief.
"There is nothing we CAN do..." Lobomon said, sadly. "The one who should do something is the girl's mother and she has given up..... I think there is no choice, everyone. We HAVE to take the Eye out of Eva.... To save the villagers! There is no other way to do this!!!"
"No..." Agunimon shook his head. "We can't do that... That little girl is suffering right now. Scared and alone! I know you suffered alone, Koji but.... All she ever wanted was to bring a little happiness into the world. Is THIS what she deserves?!!" Agunimon looked at Flara, whom looked at the Warrior of Flame. "You are her mother, but you want us to 'put her out of her misery?' Ma'am, we do that to our pets, not our children!"
"That doesn't help me much..." Veemon sighed.
"She wanted everyone to be happy. What is wrong with that!?" Patamon cried out.
Suddenly, out of nowhere.... 4 eyeball creatures flew about, starting to crave for the suffering of the villagers.
"Lookie there..." Neemon said, pointing to the sky while the 4 eyeball creatures flew about. "What are THEY??"
"The EyeBatmon..." Bokomon mumbled. "It's starting.... Eva is suffering...."
Flara looked at the ground and didn't say anything.
"Darn it! We have wasted enough time here!" Agunimon before turning to the Warriors of Wind and Ice. "Kazemon! Kumamon! Stay here and try and help Flara! We will go and help Eva!"
With that, Agunimon, Beetlemon, Lowemon, Lobomon, Veemon, Bokomon and Neemon ran off while Kazemon, Kumamon and Patamon stayed with Flara.
"Flara..." Patamon asked. "Are you all right...?"
"Eva..." Sobbed Flara.
Back with the others...
"Agunimon... Do you even know where are we going?!" Bokomon asked.
"Of course!" Agunimon called back. "We are heading to the Garden of Dreams!"
"We better find her before Velene beats us to it!" Beetlemon said.
The group arrived at the Garden of Dreams but...
"No one is home..." Neemon said.
Bokomon scratched his head. "Then, if she is not here.... Where else do we look for...?"
"She WAS here..." Lowemon said as he walked up to a black void that was near the trees. "Look here... What is this...?"
"I dunno..." Agunimon said. "Let's hop in and find out..."
"You sure its safe?" Veemon asked.
"One way to find out..." Lobomon said they hopped through the portal.
When they arrived, they found themselves back in the room where the Seal of Granasmon is and noticed an extra detail in the room. A purple doorway.
Veemon gasped at the purple doorway. "She.. She is in THERE!"
"There?! What is this place?!" Beetlemon asked. "Where is Eva?"
"This is the entrance into her soul." Veemon said.
"When did this get to so metaphysical?" Neemon asked.
"Do you even know that word?" Bokomon asked.
Neemonm scratched his head. "Umm... no..."
"Figures..." Bokomon sighed.
"She's escaped within herself. Probably hugging her knees right now." Veemon said. "I once read that this will happen with some of the powers of Valmarmon."
"Agunimon? What shall we do now?" Lobomon asked.
"We are going in..." Agunimon said as he stepped into the portal.
"Right!" Lobomon said, nodding as he followed Agunimon.
"This isn't going to be easy..." Lowemon said as went through the portal.
Beetlemon followed suit. "It never was... Never will be..."
*Veemon.... Digivolve to....... EXVEEMON!!!*
ExVeemon picked Bokomon and Neemon up and flew to the portal. As the Digimon went in, the portal closed behind them...
TO BE CONTINUED...

DIGIMON FRONTIER:THE REVIVAL OF VALMARMON!
EPISODE 9:Come Forth,ExVeemon! The Piece of Valmarmon is Nearby!!!
By Ninetalesuk.
Deep in the fissure at the back of the Articuno Village, the Digidestined ventured into the cave to find 4 eyeball bat creatures that are causing the people to sleep forever. It already took Canine, the owner of the Articuno Inn and who knows who has fallen asleep by the powers from those strange creatures...
Takuya, Koji, Kouchi, JP, Zoe, Tommy, Bokomon, Neemon, Veemon and Patamon walked slowly, keeping their eyes out for anythign that might attack them. As if problems wasn't enough for them, they had to deal with Velene, the Priestess of the Holy Cathedral Knights that only consists of Knightmon. Was was strange about Velene was that she was underneath a robe and no one could see her face. They thing that wasn't covered of Velene were her grey hands, her grey dog-like feet and a bushy black-grey tail. She is most mysterious...
JP, Tommy and Zoe stopped as they arrived at some strange looking ruins. Pillars, in fact.
"Look at these pillars." Tommy said. "I wonder what they are doing here..."
JP ran his hand down one of the pillars and looked at it. His hand was now dusty and dirty. "This pillars look like ancient ruins."
Zoe's eyes lit up. "Ancient ruins... Does that mean..."
"Hey, you guys!" Called Takuya as he, Koji, Kouchi, Bokomon, Neemon, Patamon and Veemon stood at a cave entrance. "Come on, we have found something!"
"Coming!" Tommy called out as he, Zoe and JP ran up to catch up with the others.
The Digidestined slowly entered a eerie place. Water floats solemnly around them as they walked along the rocks to reach a familiar object... a big b lue crystal orb...
"This... This is a Seal of Granasmon!" Bokomon gasped. "That means, whatever was in it, a piece of Valmarmon is inside that thing!"
"Not any longer..." Koji said. "Look at it!"
Kouchi bended nearer and frowned as he took a closer look at the Seal of Granasmon. There was black cracks around the orb. "The seal is broken..."
Zoe walked to the shrine, looked down and gasped. She bended down to pick up some bunch of flowers. "I have seen these flowers before... but, where...?"
"Better question." JP said. "How does these flowers get into the shrine where the Seal of Granasmon in the first place?!"
"Err... guys." Veemon gulped. "We have company..."
The group looked up and gasped as they saw the 4 eyeball bat creatures descending upon the group. They stared at the Digidestined, not making a muscle.
"Wha... What are these...?" Tommy shuddered.
To their surprise, the eyeball creatures spoke. "We are minions of our Lord Valmarmon, the Evil God that will lead us into victory. Call us EyeBatmon."
"EyeBatmon...?" Neemon asked.
***DIGIMON INFORMATION***

TYPE:Virus.
Mutant Digimon.

(Takato) Hmm... EyeBatmon's name is weird but, their attacks can hit you hard like Rhydon's tackle attack! Tri-Burst Ram sounds really nasty.
*************************
"Why... Why did you do this?!" Kouchi asked, anger in his voice. "Why did you put these people under your spell?! Why?!"
"By the order of our master..." The EyeBatmon said. "And those who stand in our way must DIE! We give you a warning. Leave now or DIE!!!"
"They love the word 'die', don't they?" Patamon said, gulping.
"Not by a long shot!" Takuya announced.
"EXECUTE!!! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!!" "AGUNIMON!!!" "LOBOMON!!!" "KAZEMON!!!" "LOWEMON!!!" "KUMAMON!!!" "BEETLEMON!!!"
"All right!!!" Agunimon yelled out. "This will teach you to mess with people's feelings!" With that, he threw his fists out as they were covered in flames. "Pyro Punch!"
The EyeBatmon moved out of the way as Agunimon's Pyro Punch soared away. "You didn't heed our warnings and you now must pay! Attack!"
"Here they come!" Lobomon called out.
"No kidding!" Beetlemon said, as he tried to swat the EyeBatmon away.
"Ramming!" One of the EyeBatmon yelled out as he rammed Kumamon in the back before the Human Warrior of Ice could move out of the way.
"Ahh!!!!!" Yelled Kumamon as he crashed into the ground, changing back into Tommy. "That was nothing more than a cheap shot!"
"Tommy!" Veemon called out. "Are you okay?!"
Tommy nodded. "I'm fine. But, what about the others?!"
"This is for Tommy!" Kazemon cried out as she started to spin like a top, swinging her legs all over the place. "Tempest Twist!!!"
But, the EyeBatmon have other ideas. They all glowed and surrounded Kazemon as she stopped spinning. "Your turn to suffer! Tri-Burst Ram!!!"
Kazemon screamed as she felt 4 agonising pain through her body as the four EyeBatmon crashed into her, changing her back into Zoe. "AHHH!!!!!!!!! Stop this, please!!!"
"Kazemon!!!" Beetlemon yelled out.
"This is bad..." Bokomon said. "If this keeps up, the Warriors will fall to EyeBatmon."
"What shall we do?" Neemon asked.
Veemon's expression came determanation as he charged forward to a unsuspecting EyeBatmon. "Leave my friends alone!" With that, he leapt into the air. "Vee-Headbutt!"
The EyeBatmon squealed as he was knocked down. Veemon took a deep breath but, realised that the EyeBatmon surrounded him.
"That hurt!" Said the EyeBatmon that attacked by Veemon. "You will pay for that!"
"Veemon!" Lowemon gasped.
Zoe's eyes widen in fear for her friend. "Veemon, get out of there!"
"No!" Veemon yelled out. "I'm not running away! I'm going to fight! To help my friends!" He turns to the EyeBatmon with anger in his eyes. "And no one will hurt my friends!!!"
The EyeBatmon gasped when Veemon began to glow and Digi-code surrounded him.
"Veemon..." Agunimon gasped.
Patamon cheered. "Hes Digivolving!!!"
*Veemon....... Digivolve to....... EXVEEMON!!!*
Neemon screamed. "AHHH!! ShadowExVeemon is back!!!!!" From that quote, he got a sharp pants slap from Bokomon. "AHHHHH!!!!! The Pants Slap is back!!!!!"
"Oh, shut up..." Bokomon sighed.
"ExVeemon..." Tommy gasped at the sight of a muscular blue dragon with white wings, a horn, a X-shape on his chest and doesn't look scary. "Wow.... Veemon's true Champion form...?"
***DIGIMON INFORMATION***
NAME:ExVeemon.
LEVEL:Champion.
TYPE:Vaccine.
Mythical Dragon Digimon.
ATTACKS:Vee Laser, Critical Crunch
(Bokomon) That is correct, Tommy. ExVeemon is a warrior of pure good and he will stand up to anyone. If things go tough, he will unleash his Vee Laser to strike his enemy down!!!
*************************
"I did it..." ExVeemon mumbled as he looked at his body. "I finally Digivolve without becoming that monsterious ShadowExVeemon!!!"
"Get him!!!" The EyeBatmon yelled as they zoomed towards the blue dragon. "We will win!"
"You are wrong." ExVeemon said as he swatted the EyeBatmon away like flies."We are the ones who will win!!!"
"Get him, ExVeemon!" Patamon yelled.
"Bring him down!" Agunimon smiled.
The EyeBatmon fell into a pile and slowly looked up to see ExVeemon charging up his attack. "Special delivery!!! Vee Laser!!!"
An explosion appeared as the Vee Laser struck the EyeBatmon, whom didn't had time to scream when their Digi-code started to circle around.
"Now what...?" Neemon asked.
"This is 'now what', my friends!" Beetlemon said, as he held his D-Tector up. "By the Power of Thunder, I hereby taking away your powers for evil! This Digivice will help me do so. Say goodnight... Digi-code SCAN!!!!"
The 4 EyeBatmon were gone and 4 Digi-eggs were left behind and zoomed away.
Zoe smiled as the EyeBatmon were defeated. "You guys did it! So, now the villages may be...."
"No!!!" Agunimon yelled. "These things are small change. Nothing like Gadan. The real deal is somewhere else."
"What do you mean?" Beetlemon asked.
"Think about it, you guys." ExVeemon said. "These Seal of Granasmon only hold the pieces of Valmarmon. The EyeBatmon are one of the loyal servants of Valmarmon. Whatever broke free of that seal created this creatures..."
"I don't get it..." Neemon said.
"Let me put it in chess terms." Lobomon said. "This piece of Valmarmon that was freed is the king and thos EyeBatmon are nothing more than pawns!"
"Thats right!" Patamon said as he flew above the crystal ball. "Their powers may be peculiar, but our true enemy would not meet defeat so easily."
"It... It cannot be..." Zoe gasped.
"Darn it!!" Roared Lowemon. "Valmarmon must be somewhere! If we're not killing the source, we're just killing time!"
The next morning, the Digidestined were back at the inn to plan their next move. Takuya, JP, Kouchi, Bokomon and Neemon sat at the table.
"Takuya, is this really the work of Valmarmon?" Bokomon asked.
"As the Seal of Granasmon is broken, I'm afraid its true." Takuya said.
"Besides, those EyeBatmon DID say they were servants of a piece of Valmarmon." JP said.
Kouchi sighed. "And I think I got a pretty good idea what the next piece of Valmarmon is going to be, you guys. A pretty good idea..."
"What do you think what is the next piece going to be?" Neemon asked.
Before Kouchi could answer, Zoe came down the stairs with Tommy as they left Canine's room.
"Zoe? Tommy? How is Canine doing?" Takuya asked.
Zoe sighed sadly. "Not well, she will not wake, just like her son."
The front door of the inn opened and Koji came in with Veemon and Patamon.
"Koji! How are the villagers?" Bokomon asked.
Koji shook his head. "Not good. 7, including Canine, fell ill last night by EyeBatmon's curse."
"And those who didn't fallen under EyeBatmon's spell, they had nightmares again." Veemon said.
"Man... Did anyone of us had nightmares thanks to those flying spying bats?" Takuya asked.
Kouchi was silent till he answered. "I did..."
"You did?!" Patamon asked. "What about?!"
The Digidestined of Darkness sighed. "That nightmare was when I was Duskmon, facing against you guys as Agunimon, KendoGarurumon, MetalKabuterimon, Korikkakumon and Zephyrmon... I raised my sword to slice Agunimon in half and KendoGarurumon got in the way and I...."
"I remember..." Koji sighed. "Its all right... I'm not hurt or angry..."
"Koji... Thank you..." Kouchi said, giving out a slight smile.
JP walked over to the front window and stared out of it. "Someone, in this very village, must be possessed by that piece of Valmarmon. And this very same person is controlling those EyeBatmon. The question is.... who...?"
"Do you think it is Eva...?" Neemon asked.
Bokomon quickly grabbed Neemon's pants, streched them and let go making a very loud *SLAP!!!* "You idiot!!!!! How could you say THAT?!"
"Thats right!" Zoe said. "Eva can't be Valmarmon's next victim! She is just an innocent girl! Right? I mean, if I recall, only the wicked are open to Valmarmon! Eva has done nothing wrong!"
Before their conversation could continue, a Nidorina hybrid opened the door and peered inside. "Excuse me. The High Priestess Velene is conducting an investigation, so she has ordered everyone to meet in the town hall." With that, she left.
"Takuya, we ought to inform Velene of what we saw last night. This villain is not of this village! Not even a person! Nor a Pokemon hybrid!" Tommy finally said.
"I know, except where IS the town hall?" Takuya asked.
Patamon flew in front of Takuya. "We saw it. Its that big building near the inn!"
"Come on then! Let's move before Velene decides to frame someone. " Takuya said as he led the Digidestined out of the inn.
The Digidestined walked out of the inn and headed to the Articuno Village Town Hall, with puzzlement over the eyeballish plot. As the Digidestined walked into the inn, they noticed the sleeping people that lied on the mats. They noticed there was the female Espeon, the male Houndour and the female Spearow that they met yesterday. Yet, Velene wasn't there.
"Didn't take them long to round up the town." JP said, as he looked at the sleeping bodies.
"How awful..." Patamon said, looking sadly at a female Vaporeon hybrid.
At that point, Velene entered the room. She still wore the cloak the covered her body except her grey tail, grey dog-feet and grey dog-paws. She looked at the sleeping bodies and shook her head.
"Velene..." Veemon gasped.
"Such a pitiful sight." Velene said. "We must attend to the purification immediately. We will find the bedeviled one without delay."
"You're sniffing up the wrong leg, priestess!" Takuya said. "We saw the darkness last night. Flying eyeball Digimon called EyeBatmon!! They should be dealt with first."
"Flying eyeball Digimon called EyeBatmon, you say? How droll." Velene said. "Yet, the things you saw may indeed have been servants of Valmarmon."
"Thats right!" Tommy said. "And we must search them out!"
Velene sighed. "However, they are merely servants. I doubt Valmarmon would appear in such a form or fashion, hmmm? Chasing after such, whimsical beasts would not solve our problem. Valmarmon
seizes upon the darkness in the heart, not the eye."
Takuya's blood was boiling to a hot point and he was *REALLY* mad. "Are you even listening to a thing we say? Or are you too eager to purify the entire down! What in the worlds wrong with you?!" He yelled out.
"I beg of you, high priestess! Save the villagers!" Zoe said.
Velene nodded. "Oh yes, they shall be saved. You see, there is one with a corrupt soul who has brought disaster to this village. What would happen if we were to permit Valmarmon to roam freely about the land? Could you imagine that, Patamon?"
Patamon landed on Bokomon's head and bowed his head. "Yes....."
"Well, then. I shall have the cooperation of everyone in the village. I shall discover the identity of the treacherous one. Then we need not purify the entire village." Velene said before giving a smirk and left the building.
"You guys!" Veemon said. "We cannot let her proceed. You know how this will end!!!"
"We know, we know!" Kouchi said. "I know. But we have to find out who or what is controlling those EyeBatmon! I mean, that's just sick. To make people relive their worst nightmares."
"But, where do you think those EyeBatmon come from?" Tommy asked.
"I have one suggestion..." Bokomon said.
"Let's hear it." JP said.
Bokomon nodded. "Well, I would advise a deeper hunt into that fissure that held that broken Seal of Granasmon. Our answers could be hidden somewhere in there."
"Sounds like a plan." Takuya said as he walked to the door. "Come on, the sooner we find the answers, the sooner the villager's problems will be gone."
Once again, the Digidestined headed to the fissure after leaving the Town Hall. Since the mysterious fissure lives in the back of the village, Takuya and the others headed to Flara's house as the fissure is behind the building. But, before the Digidestined could venture any futhur... A familiar, child-like voice called them.
"Hi, guys!" Called out the voice as the Digidestined turned around to see little Eva, running up to them in high energy.
"Hello little Eva." Zoe said, smiling.
Eva smiled to Zoe. "Did you come to see me? Did you want to play?"
"What do you mean?" Zoe asked, confused.
"Let's go to a fun place." Eva said, as she ran over to the back of her house. "To a place where there's no suffering and no pain. No bad memories!"
"Hey, Eva!" Neemon called. "Should you be out? Will your mother worry?"
"Oh, its fine. We're going to a happy place after all!" Eva said, before she walked into the shed that was behind Flara's house.
"That Eva. There is something a little odd about her." JP said.
"I wonder what it was she meant?" Tommy added.
Takuya walked over the shed. "Only one way to find out. Let's follow her."
The Digidestined walked into the shed and saw Eva standing in front of a mirror and a hole in the wooden floor. Eva turned around when she saw the Digidestined.
"My mother had a hard time because of me. She would buy medicine and look for herbs, working from dawn until dusk. It is all my fault, but my mother's praying healed me." Eva said, sadly.
To their shock, Eva walked to the hole and dropped right through it.
"Eva!!!!!" Veemon cried out as he and the others ran over to the hole to drop right through and to follow the young Eevee hybrid girl.
When the Digidestined landed, they were shocked to see where they are. In a cave.... Also, they were shocked when they realised which part of the cave they landed in. All except 2...
"Next time, you nitwit..." Bokomon grumbled as he rubbed his head, speaking to Neemon. "Don't land on my head!!!"
"But, it was soft..." Neemon said before spotting what the others spotted. "Oh, theres that pretty crystal ball again..."
"What pretty crystal ball?!" Bokomon cried out before spotting a familiar object. "Oh my word.... It... It cannot be....."
"It is..." Patamon cried out. "We are in the room where the Seal of Granasmon is!!!"
Indeed, the Digidestined stood on some rocks that will lead them to the broken Seal of Granasmon where the EyeBatmon were. And what is worst that the area of where the seal is hidden is right UNDERNEATH Flara's house... The Digidestined ran up to Eva, who was standing underneath the broken Seal of Granasmon.
"I don't think people should fight. Everyone just suffers. We can learn to like each other. Why do they always blame other people?" Eva asked. "Nobody wants to be hated. I'll make it so everyone can get along! I want to help everyone!"
"So, so- Eva, you...." Zoe gasped.
"It is really a nice place. I'm gonna have everyone come to the Garden of Dreams. No one will fight. Everyone will live together peacefully. They'll forget all the bad things. Come on! Let's all go into the dream!" Eva said.
Before the Digidestined could react, they were blinded by a dazzling light from Eva herself as she emits a great glow. When they uncovered their eyes, they found themselves back in the Garden of Dreams where they first met Eva yesterday.
"This... This can't be happening..." Whimpered Veemon.
"When I was cured, I was so happy. But I was also sad cause I could see things I could not before. My mother also wanted to get along with the villagers. But everyone lies and hates each other. They keep blaming others for bad things. Everyone suffers in their heart." Eva said before turning to the Digidestined, smiling. "I want everyone to come here and get along. This is the Garden of Happiness. Everyone who comes here is happy. They forget the bad memories and suffering, the people all become fairies. And they live happily here. Look, see how many fairies there are now? Isn't everyone happy?"
Zoe stared at the small fairies that hovered in front of her. Zoe knew that amongst those fairies is Canine and Growly... She screamed at Eva. "Stop it!"
"Why?" Eva asked, confused.
"You are not doing anything wrong, but, but..." But, Zoe stopped before she could finish as she noticed something on Eva.
Something shone on Eva's forehead... The part where she once had a scar was now replaced by something even more shocking.... an.... eye!!!!!!
"I just want to make everyone happy." Eva said, didn't notice Zoe's horrified face.
The others noticed what Zoe saw. "That Eye!!!!" JP shouted
Eva giggled. "This is the eye that Granasmon gave me. It's how I can see everything."
Veemon ran up to Eva. "No! Stop it! Do not make them suffer any more!"
Eva looked confused. "Suffer? I don't make anyone suffer. Everyone here is happy. There's no sadness here. Outside, everyone lies, so they suffer. They pretend to be nice but they act mean. The only one I trust is mother."
"No, Eva!" Veemon shuddered. "This isn't right... Please... STOP IT!!!"
Eva gasped then, looked angry. "Huh? Why're you doing this? Why're all of you coming after me! Is this not the eye of Granasmon? Well, isn't it? Aren't you all the same as me? Miss Zoe?"
Zoe walked up to Eva, bended down and hugged her. "No! NO!!!" With that, Eva pushed her away and walked a few meters, staring into the sky.
"I... I can't believe this...." Takuya said.
"Eva.... is possessed by... a piece of Valmarmon..." JP shuddered.
"But, why Eva? She is so innocent..." Tommy asked.
"Its because Valmarmon took over her body when she was depressed. When a child is blind, deaf, can't speak or can't move, they become depressed." Koji explained. "Since Eva was depressed because she was born blind, Valmarmon took her advantage and not only gave her sight back but, also gave her the power to summon those EyeBatmon."
"And we all know what piece of Valmarmon Eva is possessed by." Neemon said.
Kouchi nodded. "Yes. The Eye of Valmarmon!!!"
Eva gasped and started to run. "MOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Eva!!!" Patamon cried out. "Wait!!!!!"
With that, Eva vanished into thin air... Leaving the Digidestine behind.
"How... How did she do that..?" Neemon gasped.
"The Eye of Valmarmon must have given Eva the power to teleport." Bokomon said.
"Why did Eva ran off?" Patamon asked.
"Something might be going down at the village." Takuya said as he ran off. "We've got to get back there, come on!!!" With that, the Digidestined followed Takuya out of the Garden of Dreams and headed to the Articuno Village.
Meanwhile, back at the Articuno Village, something terrible is happening. Flara stood at the door of her house as Velene and 4 of her Knightmon stood in front of her with the Jolteon chief standing with the Nidorina and a male Charmeleon hybrid.
"I don't know anything!" Flara screamed out. "My daughter was miraculously cured by the power of Granasmon! I prayed and prayed for her. Leave her out of this!"
Velene shook her head. "The blessing of Granasmon are not to be bestowed on the likes of you. Where is your daughter? Speak truly, for the both of you are surely minions of Valmarmon!"
"No, no that cannot be...." Flara said, shaking.
Velene turned to the Jolteon chief, the Nidorina and the Charmeleon. "Well, well. What shall we do with a mother and a child who conspire with the powers of darkness? Will you people side with Darkness? Know that if you heed the words of the words of the witch, you must be prepared for the
consequences. Will you take the Side of Good of Granasmon or the Side of Evil of Valmarmon? Choose very carefully."
The Nidorina stepped up. "You devil! No! You evil witch! Just what are you trying to do? Release the curse on the village, quickly! What is the grudge you bear!?"
"What is it we have done!?" Flara said as she grabbed Velene's arm. "My daughter and I have done nothing! Please, tell me!"
"Release me!" Velene said coldly as she pushed Flara onto the ground.
"Ah!" Flara screamed as she hit her head on the ground to be out-cold.
"Mother!" Cried out Eva as she ran up to the Flareon before glaring at Velene with angry eyes. "Leave my mother alone! It isn't her fault everyone suffers!"
Velene saw the Eye of Valmarmon on Eva's forehead. "That evil eye! Is see we have discovered the power of Valmarmon!"
At the front gate, the Digidestined entered and headed to the back of the village. They past through some Pokemon hybrids who were watching and snuck past the 4 remaining Knightmon and quickly ran up to the knocked-out form of Flara.
Takuya bended beside Flara and breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that Flara is still breathing. "Flara is okay. Just what is happening here?!"
"You can no longer escape." Said Velene.
Zoe turned around to see Velene standing beside a Knightmon while the other 3 stood near the villagers. Standing a few meters away from Velene was.... "Eva?!"
"Bokomon! Neemon! Patamon! Veemon! Stay with Flara!" Takuya said. "The rest of you, come with me! Time for the Warriors to stand up!"
"Right!" JP said, nodding.
Takuya, Koji, Kouchi, JP, Zoe and Tommy ran towards were Eva was, stood in front of the small Eevee hybrid girl and glared at Velene.
"What are you doing? How many of you does it take to handle a single girl!? Leave her be!" Koji yelled out, his voice in anger.
"Do not interfere with my task. Or are you too in collusion with evil?" Velene asked.
Kouchi's turn to stand up. "This girl doesn't even know what's happening? Look at her! Just look at her! A Servant of Good should be extending a hand of redemption, not raising an iron fist."
"Don't be a fool, boy! We merely follow the will of Granasmon!" Velene snapped back. We are here to cleanse the world of Evil... And, if you do not move, Knightmon will teach you a lesson."
"We are not backing down!!!" Takuya shouted, as he drew his D-Tector out!
Koji pulled his D-Tector out as well. "Count me in!!!"
"I'm not letting you take her away!" Kouchi said, drawing his D-Tector out. "We will fight to the end to save her!"
"Thats right!" JP said, also bringing his Digivice out. "We will even battle against the Knightmon to save her!"
"So, get ready to send them as soon as you are over the shock!" Zoe said, drawing her D-Tector out and glared at the priestess.
"Foolish beings..." Velene said. "What can you do to stop me from taking that girl away?"
"Watch and learn!!!" Tommy yelled out, holding his D-Tector out.
"EXECUTE!!! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!!" "AGUNIMON!!!" "LOBOMON!!!" "BEETLEMON!!!" "KAZEMON!!!" "LOWEMON!!!" "KUMAMON!!!"
The villagers gasped as they saw 6 human childrens becoming Legendary Warrior Digimon.
"Its.. Its amazing..." The Jolteon chief gasped. "The Legendary Warriors of Flame, Light, Darkness, Ice, Wind and Thunder..."
"Hmm..." Velene smirked. "Lobomon of Light... He will help me... Lobomon! Come, bring the girl to me. Right now!"
Lobomon drew his Light Saber out and held it to Velene in a threating way. "I think you will need your eyes checked! We may be the Legendary Warriors on the outside but, we ARE the human children in the inside!"
"Now, listen to me!" Kazemon said. "There must be some other way we can save her. There must be!"
"Impossible! There is no salvation for one possessed by Valmarmon." Velene said. "I cannot believe the Legendary Warriors would try to protect one who has rejected the Goodness of Granasmon and embraced the evil of Valmarmon!"
"I-I..." Kumamon studdered.
"Everyone! Don't listen to her! We are better then that! There's no wrong in protecting the helpless. And if Granasmon has a problem with that, you can tell heaven that your god will find to get through me to hurt my friends!" Agunimon yelled out.
Lobomon nodded. "Thats right..."
Lowemon turned to the villagers and said. "And what about you people? Is this child a sinner?
Both mother and child have lived among you! Do you truly wish to damn them both?"
The villagers didn't know what to say and they all bowed their heads. Eva turned around to see her mother, Flara, recovering her fall and was standing up, holding her head.
"Mother!!!" Eva cried out, as she ran over to Flara.
"Ah! Eva!?" Flara gasped as she saw her daughter running towards her. She smiled, but then... She saw the Eye of Valmarmon on Eva's head. "But, that eye!!? *Gasps* You are a...."
Eva blinked and finished Flara's scentence with pain in her voice. ".........A monster. You called me a monster! Even my own mother!!"
Kazemon ran over to Eva and hugged her. "Eva, please! Be calm! Your mother is just a little
shocked. Thats all."
"Am I? A monster?" Eva said before she screamed and tried to pull away from Kazemon's grasp. "Nooooooooo! Let go of me! Leave me alone! All of you! Leave me alone!" With that, she vanishes in a bright light and flew Kazemon on the ground.
"What has happened?" Velene said before she glared at the other Warriors. "You?! If you had not interfered, Evil would not still plague the land. This is on your heads!" Velene turned to the Knightmon in a commanding voice. "Separate and search the area. DO not let the demon-child escape!" As the Knightmon left the shocked and sadden villagers with the Jolteon chief, Velene turned to Agunimon. "Agunimon.... I believe I shall not forget what you have done here today." With that, she walked off...
Veemon ran over to Kazemon. "Hey, Kazemon! Are you all right?!"
"I'm fine..." Kazemon said, sadly as she started to get up. "But, Eva is..."
"What, what have I done to Eva?" Flara asked, sadly and to no one.
"Huh?" Neemon asked, confused.
"It's my fault. Everything is my fault." Flara said, starting to sob.
"What's the matter?" Kumamon asked as he walked up to the sobbing Flareon hybrid.
"I thought something was wrong when she said she took Growly to the Garden of Dreams. It was there she discovered the ability to know what others were thinking and feeling. But not only is she able to do this, she can also see what others are doing and where they are." Flara said before she looked up into the sky, tears running down her face. "Even I grew afraid. I pitied Eva. I wanted to do something for her! But how could I have known, Valmarmon was listening to my
prayers. Oh, where did I go wrong?"
"You have done no wrong." Patamon said. "Any parent would have done the same!"
"There is no fault in caring for your own." Beetlemon chimed in. "It is Valmarmon who bears the onus of these events."
Flara sniffed and bowed her head and fell to her knees. "Please, kill her."
The Warriors and the Digimon were shocked when Flara said that.
"Are you nuts??" Agunimon cried out.
"She is beyond hope already. So please, kill her." Flara continued. "Before she causes anymore more grief to the villagers."
Agunimon cried out in anger. "Don't be a fool! We were not protecting her before just so we could kill her now. Do what you will but I am not planning on giving up anytime soon. I'll find a way to save her. With you, or without you."
"How can we stop her?" Lobomon asked.
"Well, we CAN rip that eye right out of her. Good idea or bad idea." Neemon asked.
"Bad idea! If we remove the Eye of Valmarmon from Eva, her soul will shatter and and fade, so it goes as they say..." Bokomon said.
"Darn it!!" Lowemon cursed. "There must be another way!"
"I am completely to blame for her suffering." Flara said. "If there is no way to save her, then please, put her out of her misery."
"But.... But...." Kumamon tried to say.
"What are we going to do??" Kazemon asked, holding her head in grief.
"There is nothing we CAN do..." Lobomon said, sadly. "The one who should do something is the girl's mother and she has given up..... I think there is no choice, everyone. We HAVE to take the Eye out of Eva.... To save the villagers! There is no other way to do this!!!"
"No..." Agunimon shook his head. "We can't do that... That little girl is suffering right now. Scared and alone! I know you suffered alone, Koji but.... All she ever wanted was to bring a little happiness into the world. Is THIS what she deserves?!!" Agunimon looked at Flara, whom looked at the Warrior of Flame. "You are her mother, but you want us to 'put her out of her misery?' Ma'am, we do that to our pets, not our children!"
"That doesn't help me much..." Veemon sighed.
"She wanted everyone to be happy. What is wrong with that!?" Patamon cried out.
Suddenly, out of nowhere.... 4 eyeball creatures flew about, starting to crave for the suffering of the villagers.
"Lookie there..." Neemon said, pointing to the sky while the 4 eyeball creatures flew about. "What are THEY??"
"The EyeBatmon..." Bokomon mumbled. "It's starting.... Eva is suffering...."
Flara looked at the ground and didn't say anything.
"Darn it! We have wasted enough time here!" Agunimon before turning to the Warriors of Wind and Ice. "Kazemon! Kumamon! Stay here and try and help Flara! We will go and help Eva!"
With that, Agunimon, Beetlemon, Lowemon, Lobomon, Veemon, Bokomon and Neemon ran off while Kazemon, Kumamon and Patamon stayed with Flara.
"Flara..." Patamon asked. "Are you all right...?"
"Eva..." Sobbed Flara.
Back with the others...
"Agunimon... Do you even know where are we going?!" Bokomon asked.
"Of course!" Agunimon called back. "We are heading to the Garden of Dreams!"
"We better find her before Velene beats us to it!" Beetlemon said.
The group arrived at the Garden of Dreams but...
"No one is home..." Neemon said.
Bokomon scratched his head. "Then, if she is not here.... Where else do we look for...?"
"She WAS here..." Lowemon said as he walked up to a black void that was near the trees. "Look here... What is this...?"
"I dunno..." Agunimon said. "Let's hop in and find out..."
"You sure its safe?" Veemon asked.
"One way to find out..." Lobomon said they hopped through the portal.
When they arrived, they found themselves back in the room where the Seal of Granasmon is and noticed an extra detail in the room. A purple doorway.
Veemon gasped at the purple doorway. "She.. She is in THERE!"
"There?! What is this place?!" Beetlemon asked. "Where is Eva?"
"This is the entrance into her soul." Veemon said.
"When did this get to so metaphysical?" Neemon asked.
"Do you even know that word?" Bokomon asked.
Neemonm scratched his head. "Umm... no..."
"Figures..." Bokomon sighed.
"She's escaped within herself. Probably hugging her knees right now." Veemon said. "I once read that this will happen with some of the powers of Valmarmon."
"Agunimon? What shall we do now?" Lobomon asked.
"We are going in..." Agunimon said as he stepped into the portal.
"Right!" Lobomon said, nodding as he followed Agunimon.
"This isn't going to be easy..." Lowemon said as went through the portal.
Beetlemon followed suit. "It never was... Never will be..."
*Veemon.... Digivolve to....... EXVEEMON!!!*
ExVeemon picked Bokomon and Neemon up and flew to the portal. As the Digimon went in, the portal closed behind them...
