Chapter 2: The First Day Here
As our story continues, Mortis started asking multiple questions…stuff like 'why are we here?' and 'what is this place to begin with?' From the team Mortis and Jake found that they were on the continent of Server in some place called the Digi-world, and the reason they were here was to save the Digital World from evil, Mortis suddenly stopped in his tracks and said, "Hold it…you really think I'm going to buy any of this 'save the world' junk?" Mortis let of a hollow sounding laugh and continued, "Sorry guys, hate to inform you…but risking my can is not in my weekly planner, so sorry to disappoint you." After that he just picked up the pace to get ahead of them.
Jake picked up the pace but slowed pace when he got up to Tai and said, "Sorry about that, Mortis isn't usually this self-centered…or bitter for that matter. If you need to know I have my belief that he'll come around, slowly but surely he'll come around and act not as hostile to you guys."
Later that day, or should I say night…Mortis told the others that he was going for a stroll, he'd be back shortly…Jake asked to come along but Mortis insisted that he'd rather like to go alone. Mortis looked around and thought to himself, "Geez…I thought those guys said that there was evil in this world? Well if there is, where is it?" Mortis walked a little farther, just then he heard it…footsteps behind him, he turned around to discover…nothing, just darkness nothing more. "Jake I thought I told you I wanted to be alone!" Mortis argued, but the only response was silence. Then came the sound of someone running behind him, but Mortis didn't look quick enough to see who was behind him, "Come on Jake…this isn't funny!" Mortis called out, more cautious than angry.
This time a voice responded, not Jake's though: "Mortis, Mortis, Mortis…I'm sorry but I'm not your friend, but I do have a proposition for you?" Mortis heard this and replied, "Come out…who ever you are from where ever you're hiding, and we'll talk." Mortis watched as a figure in a heavy hooded black robe appeared from the cover of the night, Mortis finished with: "Okay…how come you know my name, and what is it you wish to speak to me about?"
The figure in the black robe continued, "To answer your first question…our master knew your father, and secondly my master needs your help to vanquish his enemies." Mortis looked the guy over, he continued: "We need you to get rid of a rival power of ours first, Etemon…I'm sure you've heard the name already?" Mortis nodded, the figure proceeded, "The next might seem a bit much to ask, but we need you to destroy the Digidestined for us, after you eliminate Etemon of course." Mortis was shocked, destroy his new friends…kill Jake. The figure finished with, "So will you help our master?" Mortis responded, "I'll destroy Etemon for you because he my enemy too, but to ask me to kill my new friends…I cannot."
The figure turned around and said, "That hurts my feelings for you see," Just then the figure whirled around and pulled out a sword, "I just really can't take no for an answer…I'm really one of those 'all or nothing' kind of guys." After that he attacked Mortis, Mortis barely dodged the blade. The figure whirled around and had another swing at Mortis, that missed too. The figure said, "Come on Mortis, show me what you got? Because if this is all…I'm not impressed." Mortis didn't know what the figure was talking about, then he remembered that weird little device he had received before coming here, he looked at it and thought to himself: "Okay you little…what ever the hell you are, this would be the moment where you save me from an early death here?"
Just then a flash of white light flooded the area from it, the robed figure said, "Excellent…now we will see what you can truly do?" Just then Mortis disappeared and in his place, appeared a crimson armored angel. It's six steel wings reflecting the light, the robed figure attacked the angel…but the angel dodged it and gave the robed figure a back hand outside the head. The robed figure then put his blade away and said, "Now I ask again for the last time…will you help our master or not?"
The angel replied, "I will not destroy my friends." The robed figure then said, "Okay…if that is your final resolve…I'll leave you to it, to tell you the truth I'd hate to see anything happen to your friends. Tsk Tsk…Ah well, we'll be watching you and your friends Mortis, and call us if you change your mind." And with that the robed figure disappeared. "That…will be very unlikely." The angel grumbled, when he became Mortis again he ran back to the group and told them of what had just transpired between him and the man in the black robe. "And you're sure this person was a Digidestined?" Tai asked, Mortis nodded and replied, "He was either a year younger or older than I am, but one thing's for sure…he did not get that good with a sword on his own, another thing that surprised me was what my little device did for me, I only wish you'd been there to see it?"
"You mean you digivolved, I wouldn't be surprised by your amazement…when it happened for us we couldn't believe it either." Izzy replied. Mortis then said, "Well just one more thing…I hope none of us has to run into that guy in the black robe again, because was powerful…REALLY powerful, in fact I don't think he was using his full power."
***
We catch up with the person in the black robe again, he talking to himself: "Yes master I know I should've digivolved, but I didn't see the point…yes, I'm sorry for failing you…but don't threat…because next time, I'll let it all out." And with that the black robed stranger pulled out his blade and cut down a tree in just one swing of it, the next thing he does is take off the robe and underneath we see a silver armored angel (like Mortis but only the hair is shorter).
