CHAPTER 20: THE CAVE OF WONDERS! SECRET OF THE SOUL SPIRITS!!
Koji walked around the small cave, looking and moving the rocks around, "What are we supposed to do in here?" Kouichi looked up at him, "What are we supposed to do out there?" the shared a glance, and Koji turned and punched the wall, "Man! If we only had our spirits we could take them down!" Utaka stood, "You dont have your spirits! And stop getting so worked up about it, if there is nothing you can do, dont get mad about it! It is just another obstacle you gotta get over!" Koji walked up to him, "What are you talking about?" Takuya got between them, "Whoa, buddy! Lets fight the bad guys, not eachother!" Shinya looked up to Takuya, "Why are we here big brother? Why did you bring me here?" Takuya looked at him, "Sorry, but I had to...you are a digidestined now, and I cant change that."
They waited and waited, and nothing happened, then, a bright light came from above, and the covered their eyes, a dark shadow loomed over them, and they looked at it with squinted eyes as it landed in front of them, and the light receeded. They stared at it, "Angewomon!" they walked up to her, and sat down, "Hello children, you have found the other digidestined I see, that is good..." they sat down on the rocks around them, she had bruises and cuts all over, she had been in the fight, and must have barely escaped, she hovered over them, and began to speak, "You must be curious as to where you are...this is the Cave of Wonders, and it is an old cave where the first digimon appeared after the destruction of the Old Island, this is the place of the Second Beginning..." the kids stared at her, and Izumi spoke, "Scallopmon said that the Old Island, the one were the gobumon lived, was the home of the Ancients!" angewomon smiled, "That was the time of Beginnings, this is the second age, thounsands of years later..."
Koji looked at her awkwardly, "And why, do you think, that shadowmon would not know of this place?" angewomon smiled again, and flinched of the pain, "Shadowmon along with all other digimon outside the royal ranks are not told of it, they know of it, but have no idea it truly exists..." the sat quiet for awhile, "How were the digimon created?" Utaka asked suddenly, angewomon looked over to him, "They arose from an old basin of digital make up, the fractal code, in primitive form. They were not as civilized, and were extremely violent, they lasted about five thousand or so years, but were wiped out by the current form of digimon, who then started their own war of Beast and Hybrid...and that is where lucemon came in..."
Shinya looked at her slightly eager, "So there was a war?" "Yes." "A big war?" "Yes. A huge war. The civilized digimon could not take the nomadic expansion of the old digimon, and refused to take them wandering into their villages, and destroying many innocent digimon, and cities, they banded together, and started a war against the old digimon which lasted up to three hundred years, but nearer to one hundred and fifty years is when the True War Era ended, and the Pillaging Era was the final maybe two hundred years after the fifty year Era of Peace." they stared at her, it was more fun that History class, Kouichi asked her, "And the Legendary Warriors defeated lucemon by fusing together..." she looked at him, "At first, yes." Koji looked at her, "At first? What do you mean?"
She sighed, and continued, "The Legendary Warriors defeated lucemon as a combined form, but lucemon banded together with the god digimon Corrumon, a young Digital God, who was not in his perfect form, and nearly defeated all Legendary warriors." They looked at her shocked, and Tomoki asked her, "What happened? How did they win?" she smiled again, as if reminiscing of a great experience, "They gathered their Soul Spirits, and defeated both lucemon, and Corrumon."
The kids, with minor exception of Utaka and Shinya looked very surprised, Takuya nearly fell off his rock, and jumped up, "Soul Spirits? They were around then!?" She nodded her head, "Yes, around the globe, the Spirits had gathered, "Light, Wind, Water, Ice, Fire, Thunder, Steel, Wood, Darkness, and Earth. They fought lucemon and corrumon for nearly a decade, and then, as the Soul Spirits got stronger with each fight, corrumon was turned upon by lucemon. Lucemon said that corrumon was the cause of their loss, and as they went to battle, retreated, leaving corrumon to deal with the Legendary Warriors alone, and he was destroyed.
"But, being a Digital God meant that his Fractal Code reformed in the Realm of Immortality, an mystic place above the Digital World, and then, corrumon was captured by the higher Digital Gods, and forced to imprisonment upon the Great Obelisk, the tower in the center of the Realm. He is said to have achieved his perfect form upon the tower, yet still is unable to escape. And lucemon without a partner, was then destroyed." They stared at her, and Tomoki called out, "But what about th Soul Spirits?" She nodded again, and continued.
"The Soul Spirits...yes. They were formed at the Destruction, when the ancients dissapeared, and each one gave off a spirit to be held of each type. They grew over time, and could not be taken from where they sat by any but the ones chosen for it, and only with the Ten Stones of the Elements, which are possesed in the last ten Old, or Nomad Digimon. To get the stones, you must destroy the ten digimon and gather them among the Fractal Code, and then, the soul spirit can only be activated then." Koji asked her, "How did we get them then, and how did the minorshadowmon take them from us?"
She landed upon a pile of rocks, and relaxed, "You got the Soul Spirits because you are true Legendary Warriors, and if one of the Warriors controlled by cherubimon when he was evil try to use they Soul Spirits, they might die of the strian. But that is only because they were digimon that cherubimon had given the spirits to. With the exception f you Kouichi." he blushed, "But how the minorshadowmon had taken, and transformed them, is because they hold many mysterious powers." the kids all looked at her intently, "They were made after one of the Old Digimon, damiamon. Who took the Spirit of the digimon. And Spirits did not necessarily only come from Legendary Warriors, all digimon have spirits, they just arent as strong as the ones of Legendary Warriors. Only cohice digimon had those kinds of spirits."
Kouichi studied her for a moment and soke again, "So, if we had the spirit of whamon we could digivolve into him?" she laughed, "Oh no. Thats what I mean by not as strong, only particular digimon have particular Spirits." they all sat down, and Takuya spoke, "When the Legendary Warriors dissapeared, their Spirits werent activated until us then, right?" she smiled, "Yes." Kouichi spoke again, "But you said only 'choice' digimon had those kinds of Spirits...could I change into damiamon?" she laughed slightly, "That is a good question, but no. Damiamon has a Spirit that can force digimon to take similar form, and powers of him, but only the Legendary Warriors have complete Spirits that would allow one to digivolve into them."
She flew into the air again, "Follow me." she wnet up to a small decline in the ground, with a small hole at the bottom, "This is the basin...I want you all to go into it, and crawl your way to the end, there you will find an armadillomon, a tiny digimon, he is a friend, and will lead you to someplace safe, but we had to wait for the fighting to receed. They all went down the hole, and saw that it was a long passage, and that it stopped at the end, angewomon had left through a light portal she created and now, they had no idea what to do, Takuya rammed to wall with his elbow, "Hyaahhhh-oof!" he fell to the ground, "Oooww..." Koji laughed, "Way to go, genius." he bent down, "Its so hard to see in here, with no light..." Kouichi walked over to a wall, and picked a small branch off of it, "I got a lighter!" Utaka walked to him and lit the torch, and Kouichi walked to Koji, bending to give him the light, and he took it. Koji rubbed his hand along the wall, and the wall seemed to give way at one point, "Kouichi, kick here." Kouichi who was standing next to him kicked hard at the wall, and it broke down, there was a small hole, Koji got down on his hands and knees and crawled throught the small hole, and was followed by the others.
The had crawled a somewhat long distance, when the ground started to go into an incline, and then, an small digimon jumped out from the ground, "Heya kids! Im armadillomon!" Koji jumped back, and dropped the torch, and he had fell backward, hitting his head on the low roof, and hitting Kouichi behind him...and there was a domino effect wit heveryone else. Armadillomon grabbed the torch with his mouth, and handed it to Koji, "Here you go, now follow me." they crawled forward, and when they turned, there were at least twenty different paths to take, "Over here." armadillomon went down one of the paths, and they all followed, as they went along, many forks cut inot thier way, and they had to choose left or right, which armadillomon did with ease.
Soon enough, they ended at a small opening that allowed them to stand up, and there were torches along the wall, so Koji threw down his, and stomped it out, since it was coming close to burning his hand. They walked down the path, and armadillomon began to talk, "Well, you are sure lucky I am here, I am the only one that knows the way out of there, and the only digimon out side of the royals to set foot in the Cave. Many digimon die trying to get there when I refuse to help, and I dont even know how they knew about it, cause I sure didnt tell them. Just a hunch I guess." They continued on, and ended in the mouth of a cave in the middle of te woods, "Seraphimon says to keep you all here in case of emergency, and says he will come when things cool down, anyways, welcome to my village." they turned a corner, and a tiny village full of small houses, and tiny burrows came into view.
