The Galaxor Island Phoenix

Rena then just as swiftly cut in "Long story Cybermon, but we need some info on the phoenix eye."

"Right" said Cybermon as the sun rays caressed and exaggerated his violet eyes. "but where so we start."

" I think our best bet is to find some digimon that actually live here and ask them about the phoenix eye", suggested J.C.

"Great idea J.C." said Darkrenamon when she paused "But I think it is best if you say 'laptop' instead of Phoenix eye around here."

"Why?" asked Rena

Darkrenamon turned red " Erm- well, most wild digimon don't think very highly of human partners and if you refer to the phoenix eye they might think---

"We understand" interrupted J.C. "We will only tell the digimon we ask"

"But what if the digimon we ask think we might be evil?" asked Rena

"You just leave that to me and Darkrenamon" said Cybermon smoothly

"Where do you think we can find some digimon?" asked J.C.

"Why don't we start off with him!" yelled Rena as she pointed towards a little green digimon with a trumpet wrapped around its shoulder. The group ran towards him when they finally reached him as Rena politely tapped it on the shoulder.

"AHHHH! You scared me!" said Gekomon with a distinctive lisp in shriveled tone " Oh...your, umm, 1--2 humans!! What do you want with me!" said Gekomon alarmed

Rena read Gekomon's data on her digivice as she then looked up and said Calm down Gekomon, we aren't here to hurt you, we just need some info." said Rena as if she was talking to an infant

"What kind of 'info'" said Gekomon fiercely

"Well..." said Rena as she bent down and whispered "We wanted to know about the Phoenix eye"

"The Phoenix eye!" yelled Gekomon "Now I know your another one of them, even though I don't understand why you would ask twice, so stay away from me, you- you- monster!" yelled Gekomon angrily

"What do you mean asked twice!" said J.C. even angrier "We have never met you before and who is this 'them'. And by the way if you ever say anything like that to Rena again, heh, I swear I will kick your---

"Silence!" roared Cybermon causing J.C. and Gekomon to stop dead silent in their tracks as Rena looked aggravated towards both of them. "Now we will act right to one another."

"Why would I want to! You and your so called partners are trying to destroy the digital world with the Phoenix eye!" yelled Gekomon as his lisp almost disappeared

"Why would you think that! We have never even met and just for the record, we want the Phoenix eye to save your world, not destroy it!" said Rena

"Then why did they have to threaten me!"

"I'm sorry, but you just made me mad" said J.C. remorsefully

"Not you!" said Gekomon as his lisp completely disappeared "The two who asked me earlier. It was a human girl and a little white digimon and- and She had one of those too!" He yelled hysterically as he pointed at the digivice that was clipped to J.C.'s waist.

"What!?", said Darkrenamon shocked "Do you mean to tell me that the person who threatened you was a digidestined?!"

"Digidestined? I dunno about that, but all I know is that they wanted to make trouble with the Phoenix eye and who knows, if it weren't for my sovereigns warnings I might have told him. I---

"Hold on. Sovereign?" said Rena puzzled

"Yeah Sovereign!" said Gekomon as he flashed into a crimson red "Do you have a problem with my sovereign!!??"

"No, NO, not at all Gekomon!" said Rena as she shook her head repeatedly "Its just that I've never heard of a digital sovereign. If you don't mind, could you tell us?"

"Well..." said Gekomon cautiously "Okay, well Galaxor Island is one of the locations of four digital sovereigns. The sovereigns are sort of superior to other digimon because they are much stronger than most digimon, and since we live near one of them, he tells us about things that nobody else knows about, like the Phoenix eye, and recently he has been appearing and warning us not to tell anyone about the Phoenix eye."

"But we aren't going to use the Phoenix eye for evil, but for quite the opposite, so please tell us were it is." said Darkrenamon.

"Yeah Gekomon, we don't know who threatened you but you have to believe us , we are on the same side as you" added Rena

"I admit, you sound very sincere, but I must take orders from my sovereign"

"Then can you help us at all?" asked J.C. apparently getting aggravated

"Well" said Gekomon looking very serious " if you are very serious about your intentions, you should talk to my sovereign."

"But where can we find him?" asked Cybermon

"I don't know exactly, but the legend is that there is a crystal palace surrounded by white flames and outside the flames guarding each side is a sovereign."

"But why would 4 powerful digimon be guarding an almost indestructible palace? said Darkrenamon skeptically. "To guard the Phoenix of coarse!" yelled Gekomon almost insulted until what he had said finally hit him. " Oh no! I didn't tell you that! NO!! Look, I can't tell you anymore!! Leave me alone!

"But--

"Be quiet!" said Gekomon furiously

Rena and the others than walked away from Gekomon not knowing exactly what had just happen when J.C. suddenly ran back to Gekomon.

"Gekomon?", said J.C. softly

"What do you want!"

"Well, I just wanted to ask you something that's been bothering me."

"What?!" said Gekomon as if he were about to cry

"Well if these people who came before us threatened to kill you, how did you get away?"

"I guess it can't hurt to tell you. Well I just told them about the 4 sovereigns guarding the palace and they ran of" suddenly Gekomon paused " No I told them too!? ARRRRR!! Get away from me!!"

J.C. ran back to the group and didn't speak a word of what had happened until later that same day.

"Wow, believe it or not, we got a lot of information out of him" said Rena

"Your right, Rena, but it might be a little harder to piece it all together " said Darkrenamon thinking hardly.

"But you know what bothers me the most is that whoever wants us dead is also a digidestined. " said J.C.

"Yeah, that does bother me" said Darkrenamon and continued "But I think first on our agenda is to find that sovereign."

"Well it shouldn't be that difficult. I mean really. If this sovereign is as big and powerful as Gekomon says he is, it should be as easy as finding an elephant at a super market." said J.C.

"What's an elephant?" asked Darkrenamon

"Never mind"

"So what's the plan?" said Cybermon in a abnormally cheery voice.

"We had just discussed it right in front of you" said J.C. seriously

"Oh"

"Cybermon, you're not a good liar. Tell us what's wrong." said J.C,

"It is nothing okay. I don't want to talk about it" said Cybermon irritated

"Fine then!" said J.C. just as irritably "Just forget it!"

"This is no time for fighting you two!" yelled Rena

"Look, I'm sorry. Its just that I'm quite stressed right now, but you need to understand. I don't want to talk about it."

Hours had passed and the group had found nothing. Galaxor remained its dismal, damp, and perpetually neutral self. If there was a great and extravagant palace such as the one described to them, it could have fooled them. They became tired, not just from the endless walking but there spirit was down as well.

"Darkrenamon, we haven't found anything. Do have any information at all on these guardian people thinggies."

"Guardians? Don't you mean sovereigns?", said J.C. agitated

"Yeah, there you go."

"Hold on Guardians, Rena that's it!!" yelled Darkrenamon excitedly "Guardians. When I was first born from my digi-egg, I always heard tales at the palace about the four guardians of the digital world. I used to love hearing the tales about the four Guardians and their majestic palace as the white flames shrouded at their mercy!"

"Hold it Darkrenamon. You mean to tell us that not only did 'white flames' not jog your memory about the sovereigns, but you loved hearing tales about some big-butted, powerful digimon sitting in front of a bunch of flames. Great entertainment" commented J.C. humored as Darkrenamon and Rena glared at him while Cybermon had a silent chuckle.

Darkrenamon glared quite insulted "Well if I could have finished you would have heard. You see these Guardians protected something very important---

"The Phoenix!!!" yelled Rena

"NO!" roared Darkrenamon " A catalyst. They were protecting a very powerful catalyst that laid deep in the realms of the crystal palace."

J.C. loudly blurted out " If he was so powerful then why did he need four super sized Guardians protecting him...---

"Just be quiet!!! Its a story. A good one at that, but those little details aren't important, its the big picture, its symbolic. The Guardians represented the elements of Fire, Water, Air, and light. It makes perfect sense. The guardian live on the four sides of the palace and Each one living near something that further symbolizes its element."

"But what does that have to do with us and this Island" asked Cybermon coldly

"Island! Its obvious. This Island is full of water-themed digimon and where they lay, water is sure to be found and according to the digimon from this village, there is a lake in the center of this place, so if we find it, we are sure to find the Phoenix eye!!"

"You mean laptop?"

"What!?" yelled Darkrenamon as her fur started glowing with red energy

"You said that we had to say 'laptop' instead of Phoenix--- Laptop." said J.C. mockingly

" Errrr."

"Lay off J.C.!" Yelled Rena.

"Sorry" said J.C. as he started to blush

"Our first priority is to head to that lake and search the water you guys and of Darkrenamon's tale is right, we should be able to find that sovereign and make our way to the Phoenix that lies in there.

"Then lets head for the water!" energetically yelled J.C.

"We are ready when you are." said both digimon

"Digivoulution Activate!"

Suddenly the two digimon began to glow a bright golden color as a bubble of shining lights broke over them.

"Darkrenamon digivolve to------

"Cybermon digivolve to--------

"Metalcybermon. Vultailmon." both digimon said at the same time

"Get on top of my back J.C. and Rena you get on Vultailmon "said Metalcybermon as his shiny armor glistened in the sun rays which seemed dull in comparison.

"Right" both children said as each got on their corresponding partner.

Metalcybermon soared into the sky as Vultailmon swiftly and cunningly leaped and swept along the countryside of the digital world.

"Where do you think the lake is Metalcybermon?" asked Vultailmon as they both went forward in synchronization.

"I don't know Vultailmon. I'll have to do a scan, but it has to be quick because humans can't keep at these speeds for long periods of time, there body's aren't built for it."

"Right, well do the scan and you can warp us there." said Vultailmon staring up at Metalcybermon as his wings seemed to tear the sky open.

"Darkrenamon, I'm not feeling well" said Rena pale in the face.

"Oh, you have to hang in there Rena. You'll be fine you just feel bad because Metalcybermon and I are going at a very high speed to get to the center of the Island. Metalcybermon! Do you have the coordinates yet!? Rena is starting to you know what!"

"I know, I am just about to get the readings. Its happening to J.C. too"

"What's happening Vultailmon?"

"Nothing." said Vultailmon until Rena glared at her in disapproval "Well, its just that, the faster you go, the more you are aging."

"Aging! Aging!"

"Don't worry, the effects will wear off a few minutes after we stop."

"They better!"

Vultailmon looked worriedly as she glared at Metalcybermon "Metalcybermon! We need to stop now!"

"No! If we stop now we will be thrown backwards into oblivion. This a pretty large Island and we need to get to the center. I should have the coordinates any second."

"Metalcybermon, they are getting older and older, you need to stop! Now!!!"

"Got it!" yelled Metalcybermon as he opened a portal that reached from the sky to the ground in front of Vultailmon "Leap into it!"

Vultailmon and Metalcybermon leaped sent themselves straight into the portal as they were warped into a long tunnel once again. It seemed a little more straight then the last one as many colors swirled in the background but before they could see the end, they were out into the blue and Aquatic atmosphere.

"Rena, J.C. are you okay?" said the sound of Darkrenamon's voice

"Whoa, I feel lightheaded" moaned J.C.

"Me too" said Rena

"Well you guys...well. Yeah" said Cybermon jittery

"What's the matter Cybermon?" Asked Rena " Why are you acting all weird?"

"No reason at all Rena, I don't know what you might be talking about"

"Cybermon, we've been through this before: your not a good liar." said J.C.

"Darkrenamon, what's he blubbering about and why do I feel so weak It's strange." "Well, Rena I hate lying to you so I am going to be straight forward. You. Heh well---

Cybermon stood up "Rena. J.C. Well. You two are now 55 years older."
