Chapter 5 "Story of the Tamoe Highlands"

By Matt Ikazou

* * *

After the disappearance of WaruMonzaemon, the digidestined had started debating in which direction to go.

"I say we go north, to the Ice Lands and try to find Frigimon" Tai said impatiently, arms crossed, and right foot tapping the ground.

"No way! Let's go to the Yokomon village and visit Meramon to the west on Server! Me and Biyomon would just LOVE to visit them."

"How about we visit Andromon, I want to see if he can upgrade my computer, it's getting kind of slow."

"Pfft, no way! Me and Matt wanna go to Primary Village to visit the babies and Elecmon!". Takeru happily said, he used his strongest puppy eyes to try and convince them... Boy was he evil.

"I admit T.K, that's a good idea... But I would just LOVE to go back to my castle! Lots of food, clothes-" "HEY! I STILL HATE YOU GUYS YA KNOW!" screamed Davis at the top of his lungs, everyone had stared wide-eyed at Davis and gulped.

"Now now Davis..." Tai was stepping back, gulping with his hand scratching the back of his head.

"Davis... There's no reason to hate us, besides... We saved you're hide back there at Warumonzaemon ya little brat!"

Matt glared daggers at Mimi, "Mimi! He's just a little boy-"

Davis pounced on Matt repeatedly trying to punch him, unsuccessfully.

"IM" Punch

"NOT" Punch

"A LITTLE" Punch

"BOY!" ...Crunch.

And so came the sickening blood oozing out of Matt's nose, Izzy abruptly ran and grabbed Davis off Matt as Joe checked for serious injuries. T.K all of a sudden pounced on Davis as they started rolling down East.

"East it is I guess... And we're off to the mountains..." said Izzy, while checking the newly fixed compass.

"How'd you get that fixed Izzy?" Tai asked, "I was pretty sure you hardly had any time to fix it.

Izzy reluctantly sighed, shaking his head, "Well Tai... It just shows, that you're ego can prove to be right sometimes, just a couple of smacks actually did the trick".

******************************

After 10 minutes of trying to pull T.K and Davis off each other so that they wouldn't actually hurt one another, Davis sighed and agreed he would come along since he didn't have another place to travel to.

Davis smirked, he still disliked the digidestined, and he planned to annoy them 'till death. "Are we there yet?"

Joe looked back, "No."

..."Are we there yet?"

Then Matt Iooked back, "No".

Suddenly, T.K and Kari joined in : "Are we there yet?"

The older digidestined suddenly sweatdropped, all of a sudden, Davis stopped and looked around.

"Tai, walking ahead with his eyes practically closed, opened an eye noticing that he didn't hear as many footsteps. He looked back, saw Davis, and raised his eyebrow.

"Hey kid, what do you think you're doing? Don't separate from us, it's dangerous out here!"

Davis then looked back to the older brunette, "I just noticed... DemiDevimon isn't here..."

Then everyone stopped and looked around, Mimi broke their small silence, "I knew that flying bowling ball couldn't be trusted!"

Just that moment, a flying bowling ball ironically dropped out of the sky.

"Ow... Why that son of a...Huh?" DemiDevimon looked up to see the digidestined.

"You! Where were you?!"

"Tch, I was TRYING to get us some shelter, but them stupid tribe wouldn't let me in."

"You...Were actually trying to help us?"

"Well DUR... See that little patch of green on that mountain?"

"Yeah."

"Well, it's a mirage. Like one of those big tree's that you can go inside of."

"You mean the holographic tree?"

"...Sure, anyways, going inside will lead you to a place that have some special digimon in which I have only heard of in legends. But, I HAVE heard of that place before, it is called the Tamoe Highlands. Many digimon which have a special digivolution that is called, 'armor digivolving' occurs, and then they become a whole new digimon." "Prodigious! Can any digimon do it?" exclaimed Izzy.

DemiDevimon turned to Izzy, "Well, from what I've seen before, no digimon out of the Tampoe highlands have armor digivolved, and these guys don't let just anyone in. Myotismon once tried to raid the Highlands and find out his secret, but the power of light within was so powerful that he could not enter. We heard from a couple of digimon that he enslaved that there was a secret entrance to enter, but no one but their origin of digimon knew about it"

"It sounds like a stupid fairy tail to me" mumbled Davis, he leaned with his eyes closed against a coconut tree.

Palmon squinted her eyes in the sunlight and looked to Davis, "Isn't that a weird place to have a coconut tree?"

It was just then, that Davis weight was enough to pull the poor tree back and break it. Davis eyes widened as he fell back, "EEEEE!"

It was quite a funny site, the digidestined burst out in laughter as a coconut hit his head. The coconut burst open, but not juice or coconut was in it, what was odd though, was that the coconut burst in an exact half, and had a perfectly straight cut. Inside, was actually an egg with weird patterns on it.

"A digi-egg!" Tai raised an eyebrow "In a coconut? The digimon inside must have a hard head, and a soft inside."

Sora's eyebrow twitched as she smacked Tai on the head, "Tai!" Tai rubbed his head, "Pfft... There was no need to hit me you know..."

Davis smiled slightly, "Im going to keep it". It was at that moment that a digivice appeared in his hand, and it was in fact the same shape as the other's digidestined, but his was an orange one, with blue fire inscribed on it.

"A digivice! That makes Davis a digidestined!" exclaimed Mimi, pointing out the obvious.

"A...Digivice? I guess that means... I guess that means that you all aren't evil after all. I mean, im for sure not evil, and if im not evil and I got this, that means digidestined aren't evil!"

Everybody fell down and sweatdropped, "Talk about self-centred..." Mumbled Kari, "Just like Mimi!"

An even bigger sweatdrop appeared on everyone, while Mimi just twitched.

Before a fight broke-out, Tai decided that they should head up to the Tamoe Highlands, and try to get some shelter so that they aren't attacked.

************************************

A lone, but very BIG figure floated within a cage, it's wise eyes staring into a giant crystal ball, this mighty dragon was very tired and weak, it's age was catching up to him, in his four claws were empty, stolen were four digicores.

Another smaller, but big enough figure floated beside the crystal ball, he turned his head to the dragon, "So, Azulongmon, it seems that you're petty servents are getting stronger and stronger, I will make sure that they do not reach as strong as they could be. Their adventures are going to be proven futile, and I will eliminate them before they reach me."

The dragon glared, "You fool! By eliminating me and the other three guardians, you will make the balance between darkness and light broken! The digital world will crumble, as well as every other dimension linked to this one! Do you not see what harm will come if you do this?"

The figure just smirked and floated away. Azulongmon sighed, "The digidestined will be defeated without my help, but I will have help sended, 'he' did not take all of my power..." Azulongmon's eyes glowed white for a second as he called upon the heavens of the digital world. He stared into the globe as figures emerged from the sky.

"Go, my warriors... Help the digidestined in their quest to defeat this evil..."

~~~~~~~~

"He is sending his warriors... Go, go and destroy them and the digidestined Ghoulmon".
