Tortoisemon
"What!!?" yelled Rena and J.C. at the same time
" We didn't realize that our speed would take that much of a toll on you. We are sorry.."
"Sorry!!! We are old people!! But these affects WILL wear off, right." yelled Rena as the digimon remained silent "Right!?"
"We will try"
" Why did you two have to go so fast anyway! Why couldn't you stop if you couldn't control your speed!? Huh! Why!"
"Rena, we just can't tell you. Not yet."
"So you are saying that you did this on purpose!" yelled Rena almost about to cry
"Not exactl---yes. You have to trust us. Its for the best."
"How could you!? How can we ever trust you again! We put our lives in your hand and you did this on purpose. What's the matter with you!? You two are sick! Just sick!!" yelled J.C. with tears running down his cheeks "How dare you."
"We had to do this you two. You will thank us later. There is a lot more to this enemy that meets the eye, and lets just say I know a little more then I should."
"Just be quiet! Both of you just shut up! I don't want to here a word from you two again! Just be quiet and go!" Yelled Rena as her face became red and stared into the water. "Wha-what!? J.C. this water is probably 4 feet deep, its shallow J.C.! There's no way a palace is in or around this- this pond! Its hopeless! This is all over. They won and we lost. Our partners have betrayed us, we are all alone with only these traitors as our guardians, we are old, its late, our families probably miss us, and we will basically live in this digital world for the rest of our lives!" Rena yelled as her young voice did not match her wrinkled and frail body. She laid there with her tears falling from her eyes as one suddenly escaped down her cheek and into the water beneath her. The blue tear drop slowly came closer to the surface of the deep icy blue water of the pond when it hit and its water spread across its small diameter on the larger body of water beneath it. The water glowed a deep shade of white and gold and it shimmered across the entire lake. Rena glowed as well as sparkles of blue and gold came down from her eyes and flew up into the air in total grace and unity with one another.
"Rena, what the heck is going on?"
"I don't know, I feel this energy in this lake, maybe there is something under there."
"Wow, look at it, its beautiful. Rena, maybe its a portal. Touch the water"
Rena put her finger through the golden lake as instead of her hand getting wet, it seemed to go inside of some invisible entrance. "J.C., my hand goes through. It is a portal. We have to go inside of it. Maybe it is the palace!"
"Only one way to find out. Ready. 1-2-3!"
Both humans let themselves fall into the golden light as the disappeared into thin air and their silent digimon followed. They fell into the golden portal and fell into what seemed full of life and happiness when suddenly it disappeared and darkness quickly surrounded them.
"Do you know what just happened?" asked J.C.
"Nope, not at all"
"Rena look!" yelled J.C. "We aren't old anymore!"
"Cool, maybe its because of this portal or maybe the effects wore off"
"Good, I was starting to get tired of feeling so frail, but look ahead of us! It looks like a castle or something."
"J.C. They followed us."
"Oh."
"What do you want" said Rena as she scowled at Darkrenamon
"We are your digimon, we are here to protect you."
"But you lied to us."
"We are sorry, but it was necessary." said Cybermon
"What is so important that you can't tell us?"
"We just can't right now. You have to respect that. You just have to trust us." said Darkrenamon
"Please you just have to trust us, we promise, we wont keep things from you again like that, we just can't tell you this yet. But we promise, we will soon."
"Well Rena?" asked J.C. "Should we forgive them or not"
"I guess so" giggled Rena " We are sorry we yelled at you. Lets just be friends again."
"Great. Problem solved" said J.C. "Now we have to head for that palace!"
The team headed for the palace as they got closer by the second to the palace when they stopped dead to their tracks as they approached a huge turtle-like creature.
"Whoa! What the heck is that!" yelled J.C. as he looked up at the huge green creature in front of him.
"My name is Tortoisemon, one of the four legendary sovereigns of this digital world and who are you 4 and how did you ever get into my palace."
"Hi, we are here to protect your world mister Tortoisemon and we wanted to know if we can have your permission to enter your marvelous castle to meet the Phoenix" said Rena in a fake cheery voice.
"How in the world would a bunch of humans and a couple of misfit digimon possibly know about the Phoenix behind these flames and what are your intentions?"
Darkrenamon stepped up to him " Please don't judge us because of these humans, they are our partners and we are here to protect them and the digital world from the threat that has been terrorizing the lands. We need entry into your castle because people are after the Phoenix eye and this will be there first target sir so please you must allow--
"Phoenix eye. You are not supposed to know about the Phoenix eye, and for your benefit I know perfectly of the intruders threatening to take the Phoenix eye, and it is not going to happen. This palace is filled with traps and obstacles that even the strongest of digimon cant withstand not to mention the four sovereigns and as one of them I will never let anyone near the palace."
"Whoever wants to go into your palace is perfectly capable of penetrating your forces and we need to get to that Phoenix before they can. Please we beg of you, in the name of digimon, we must guard the inside from these monsters before its too late." pleaded Cybermon.
"No! Absolutely, positively not! No one will go pat me into the palace. No body at all. You could be these thieves as far as I know. Trust me, no amateur digimon and worthless human would be any help to defend against these mad digimon."
"I am no amateur!" yelled Cybermon angrily
"They are not worthless humans!" argued Darkrenamon
"You are not going into the castle, now leave however you came before you feel my true power!"
J.C. and Rena looked in the background behind Tortoisemon when they saw something appear silently behind him
"Tortoisemon!" yelled J.C.
"Be silent human, I told you to leave!
"Tortoisemon!" yelled Rena
The digimon stared confused as they too looked behind Tortoisemon and yelled with them "Tortoisemon! Look out!"
A robed creature hovered above Tortoisemon and it seemed as if he injected Tortoisemon with something black with a swift and direct attack
"Tortoisemon!"
Tortoisemon roared as loud as he could as the ground shook beneath him, but shortly fell helpless on the ground as his anger ceased.
"Hey you!" yelled Cybermon as he stared at the shadowed figure of the creature "Your not getting away that easily, get over here you coward. Cyber-Crusher!!!!" yelled Cybermon as a huge blast came out of the palm of Cybermon. "Take that"
" Diamond Storm!" added Darkrenamon as hundreds of tiny beads charged towards the creature in unity with the beam.
The attacks soared through the air as the creature remained still in the air. The diamonds glimmered and the blast sent a roar through the palace but just as the beams hit, the creature disappeared into the thin air as the attacks merely hit and disinigrated on the impenetrable white flames in front of them.
"Dangget! He escaped!!" yelled J.C.
"Don't worry J.C. we should be more concerned about Tortoisemon" said Cybermon as he ran to help up Tortoisemon. Suddenly the ground rumbled as Tortoisemon arose from the ground and butted Cybermon to the ground.
"What's the matter Tortoisemon. I know you don't like us but we want to he--
Tortoisemon opened his mouth when he then sent a huge blue blast of Water towards J.C.'s direction.
"J.C. NO!" Yelled Cybermon as he lifted up his palms "Cyber-blast!" as Cybermon transported the water back towards Tortoisemon moments before it would have hit J.C.
Tortoisemon roared again as he got on his hind legs and yelled in pain were a black spot was visible on his abdomen.
"Cybermon! I knew it he has a virus inside of him. His Aura is much different from before. That has to be it. Cybermon, you have to be careful, he isn't the regular Tortoisemon anymore."
"Then we just have to eliminate that virus from him then. Ready Rena!"
"Ready J.C.!"
"Digivoulution Activate"
"Cybermon digivolve to Metalcybermon!"
"Darkrenamon digivolve to Vultailmon!"
"Cy-wave!" said Cybermon as a huge energy wave was sent towards Tortoisemon
"Dragon Wheel" yelled Vultailmon as a huge Dragon was released towards Tortoisemon as well.
The attacks merged together in a huge attack as it came closer to Tortoisemon when suddenly the attack hit but was only absorbed by the skin of Tortoisemon and taken no effect at all.
"You four are going to be blasted into oblivion!" yelled Tortoisemon as he launched several series of water blasts from Tortoisemon as they all hit the two digimon.
"Vultailmon! Are you okay!?" yelled Rena as she ran towards her partner "Vultailmon, are you alright?"
Vultailmon quivered slightly as she whispered weakly "He is too powerful, I have never fought a mega before, we can't get that virus out of him."
"No, we have to Vultailmon. We just have to."
"Be prepared to meet your end!" Tortoisemon yelled as he sent a final blast towards Vultailmon
"Rena watch out!!" yelled Metalcybermon and J.C.
"No!" yelled Rena as her necklace started to glow a bright blue that ricocheted the attack. "Vultailmon!! NOW!"
The room glowed a deep ocean blue as a ball of light covered Vultailmon as she lifted herself into the air. The room froze in silence as Vultailmon went back to full strength and yelled "Vultailmon digivolve too-- Karatemon!"
"You don't stand a chance against me. You will never defeat me!" yelled Tortoisemon
"I may not be able to defeat you Tortoisemon, but I will destroy that Virus. Talisman of light!" A huge beam was sent from Karatemon's golden talisman and it was sent straight through Tortoismon's abdomen towards the virus but bounced back towards the ground "No, it didn't work!"
"J.C. ! We need your help"
"But Metalcybermon doesn't stand a chance against him!"
"You have to digivolve him to ultimate then!"
"No! I don't ever want him to become what he was before. Never! Skullcybermon is a monster and I will never bring him back into existence. I'm too scared."
Karatemon firmly talked as she tried to withhold an attack from Tortoisemon "J.C. You have to believe in yourself. Skullcybermon was a monster who was created out of your hate and evil side, but that J.C. is gone now and so is Skullcybermon. Have faith in yourself and nothing will ever stop you or your friendship with Cybermon"
"Your right. Its our destiny to stop this enemy from getting the Phoenix eye and we will put a stop to it! Its my responsibility. Is it okay with you Metalcybermon?" said J.C. as Metalcybermon nodded. "Then its settled. Bring it Tortoisemon!"
Suddenly J.C. backpack lit up as the digi-mental J.C. had collected earlier lifted itself up into the sky. It glowed its dark red and gold and a beam of light was sent into J.C.'s crest. It burned as the beam continued to hit the necklace as it glowed a blackish gray for a moment as a new symbol appeared on it. The crest created a red ball of light over Metalcybermon as he was lifted into the sky as well.
"Metalcybermon digivolve too----Magnacybermon!!
Out of the light came forth a large digimon that was much bigger than Metalcybermon and Karatemon that's appearance shook everyone in the room. As the light faded the figure that remained floating in the air was Magnacybermon. With his huge golden wings complimenting his purple eyes with his white and blue armor gave him the image of an angel as a sword larger than his back curved around his back in a golden case and with his spiked gloves to show for it, he seemed invincible.
"Wow! Magnacybermon. That is so cool. Go Magnacybermon!" yelled J.C. encouragingly from the ground.
"Don't worry" said the deep and fulfilling voice spreading around the entire room "I. Will."
Magnacybermon reached his back with Karatemon staring at his new found grace as he grabbed his curved sword out of its case and its blade glowing brightly.
"Karatemon! Transfer your power into Magnacybermon and lets crush this virus!" yelled Rena from the sidelines.
"Right!" said Karatemon as she grabbed her talisman and aimed it at Magnacybermon's back "Destiny's light!"
The talisman light up in a conquering gold and shot directly towards Magnacybermon's black as his body's aura started to intensify into a pure white and golden mixture.
Magnacybermon nodded in acknowledgement of Karatemon's power and spoke with his bright sword in hand "Tortoisemon, you have been poisoned as a result of this enemy on the loose, but you will not become a casualty of their disgrace and terror. I must cleanse your mind free of this influence and I apologize for any pain resulting from me." he lit up his blade with a fiery shade of red as he swung it in practice and lifted it over his head and yelled " SWORD OF DESTINY!"
He released all of the light over him towards Tortoisemon in a smooth blade of energy as it sliced through Tortoisemon's flesh in a clean and harmless cut when Tortoisemon began to shed a black coating as a result. Beneath the old back flesh began a new layer on Tortoisemon that had a momentary flicker of gold when sparks began to form all around him and he fell down in a peaceful and at rest fall.
Minutes passed before Tortoisemon opened his eyes, but when it was time, the first thing that appeared in front of his turquoise iris was Cybermon, Darkrenamon, and J.C. and Rena in the background.
"What has just happened to me? I feel very light and tired."
"You were infected with a virus Tortoisemon, but we saved you and your alright now." said Cybermon very much at rest "I cleansed your mind and it will take a while to adapt again, but soon enough, you will be as good as new."
"Really? Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Just thank you for saving me. But what can I ever do to repay you. I know I haven't thought much of you previously before.
Rena stepped up in front of the large tortoise "Well, we really wanted entry to the palace to see the Phoenix"
"Oh yes, well as your reward for saving me, I grant you entry to the palace"
"Really! Thank you Tortoisemon!" said J.C. excitedly.
"Oh I very much owe it to you for my behavior towards you stunning hero's" Tortoisemon looked out into the disapproving faces of Rena and Darkrenamon "And heroines."
"But wait a minute, but how can we ever get passed the white flames after we pass you?" asked Darkrenamon
Tortoisemon's smile faded "Well, I'm afraid I can't tell you that. But I will tell you that you four have nothing to worry about. Now you better hurry, if you wish to find what ever it is you are looking for."
"Yes sir, we will. Thanks for everything" said J.C.
"Bye!" all four yelled as they walked passed Tortoisemon and towards the bright flames ahead of them.
