I don't own Digimon, I only own the characters that I make up.
Chapter 4: Union and Trouble
The group once again sat quietly, except this time they were looking out the train windows at the once beautiful digital world, now ash burnt and hard. There were no Digimon in sight oddly enough, but the gang is more worried about how they would fight the person responsible for the destruction. Eventually they reach a shining orb, which is actually a barrier. The barrier opens a small gap for Worm to go through, and pulls up in front of Ophanimon's castle, where she is waiting for them.
"Welcome back digidestened. Unfortunately we don't have much time for greetings, you must follow me to where your warrior spirits are." She says. They all hurry inside. Ophanimon opens a secret passage from a book shelf and they hurry down a stair case. They arrive to where the spirits are resting just in time to see them starting to dissolve.
"Thank goodness you're here." Agnimon says. "Now that you're here, we can rest easy. We will change into our spirit forms with the last of our strength. Good luck." With that said, Agnimon, Kazemon, Beetlemon, Kumamon, Lobomon, and Lowemon transform back into their spirit forms and fly into their respective D-tecter. After a few minutes of silence Takuya turns to Ophanimon.
"Please tell us what exactly has been happening here, and what caused all this in the first place." Takuya requests. Ophanimon nods and they walk into another room. In there, there is a large table with several chairs. Each of the digidestened sits down.
"There was 10 years of peace up until 3 months ago." She starts. "Before you ask how that is possible, remember time goes more faster in this world than in your world. Now then, it all started when a dimensional portal opened in the digital world. We don't know where it came from, but we do know that a large space ship of some sort came through it and immediately started showering small dark goldish diamond around steel terminal. At first it looked like a peace offering, but when the diamonds landed on the Digimon there, they became possessed."
"Who is this guy anyways?" JP asks.
"He is a human, or so we believe, we can't be sure due to the fact that he came from another dimension. But from what I gather, it appears he is also possessed from some unknown darkness. Its evil is worse than Lucemon's, which is hard to believe by itself." Ophanimon answered. Then continuing on she says "Non the less, the human is still a threat. Whoever this great evil is, he seems to know a lot about Digimon. It's not easy to control 1 Digimon, but he managed to get every Digimon in the steel terminal under his control the moment those diamonds sank into them. He calls himself "The Digimon King"."
"Well someone has a big ego." Koji said.
"Yes, that is true, but he has the power to back it up." Ophanimon said. "But we have found a weakness to his control over Digimon. Right after he gained control over steel terminal, the Digimon King put a giant black diamond at the center of the terminal. It acts as a signal beacon to his smaller diamonds that control a Digimon and also serves as a jamming system that stops any signal that goes to that area, cutting off communication with that terminal. We have decided to call the big diamonds 'Shadow Towers' and the smaller diamonds 'Viral Stalkers'. But what is most disturbing is that both the shadow towers and viral stalkers have the ability to affect digivolution."
"How exactly does that happen?" Tommy asks.
"The viral stalkers can make a Digimon viral digivolve, into a very powerful virus type Digimon, depending on what the controlled Digimon is before hand." Ophanimon explains. "The shadow towers make it harder for Digimon who aren't being controlled to digivolve. It doesn't make digivolving impossible, it just causes the process to become more of a strain."
"Would that effect us when we spirit evolve?" Kouichi asked. "And what was the Digimon King's weakness?"
"First, it should not affect any of you in any way." Ophanimon said. "As for his weakness, we discovered that if the shadow tower was destroyed, then all the viral stalkers disappear from all the Digimon in that terminal. Also, the Digimon King does have trouble controlling Holy Digimon, Ultimate and Mega level Digimon. To fix that, he installed more shadow towers into several parts of the terminal that he is in. Right now he controls the steel, wood, ice, and earth terminals. That leaves light, forest, wind, flame, lightning, water terminals and the dark continent left for him to conquer." She then sighs. "Unfortunately not even all the legendary warriors and us 3 celestial angels combined could stop him. To make matters worse, the Digimon king captured Grumblemon, Mercurymon, and Arbormon, and has placed them under his control. Deeper still, some powerful virus type Digimon willingly joined him in exchange for being able to keep their freedom of will."
"But if all of you combined couldn't defeat him, what help can we be?" Koji asked.
"Humans have a special ability that only some poses. It's the ability to surpass normal limitations, both physically and mentally. You all have that ability with yourselves, you just need to find it." Ophanimon answers.
'Reminds me of how Chris was before his family started traveling." Zoe thought.
"But that's not the only reason you have been called back." Ophanimon said. Everyone looks carefully at her. "There is anther legendary warrior that exists."
Talk about a cliffhanger. Chapter 5 will be up ASAP. But please REVIEW and tell me what you think of the story so far. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
