Flame Lord picked up the heavy flame saber from the ground, the red blade bursting into flames as energy rippled from the master of fire before them. Bee and Black stood in front of Nina and signaled her to get ready.

"...Spirit digivolution, is it not?" Flame Lord asked, his silky voice floating around the room.

"Good guess. But, you won't stand a chance against us!" Bee said, shaking a fist at Flame Lord. Kimber mouthed something at Nina,

'How'd you guys get here? Where're the others?'

'...Long story kiddo. Bee and Black here made a hole in the ceiling and Lucifer helped us up here. The rest are fine...' she said, focusing on the enemy in front of them. By that time, Bee and Black had finished Digivolving to Chaos Lord as he wielded the dark sword he owned and pointed it in front of the Lord of flames.

"Are you ready to lose?" Chaos Lord said mockingly as Flame Lord shut his eyes and sighed.

"Arrogance is a major obstacle you will have to face if you want to fight properly. The great Chaos Lord won't attack as rashly as you would," he said quietly as he suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind the regal digimon, sword in hand,

"IF you know what I mean. Reign of Fire!!" he swung the blade to meet the Chaos digimon's head but missed by inches as Chaos Lord turned, pointing his glowing shield and smirking at the young digimon.

"On the contrary." He said as a beam of red light hit Flame Lord squarely, without any means of defense as where the great flame digimon stood exploded with a dark energy. Chaos Lord smiled triumphantly when suddenly, his smile faltered.

Meanwhile, in a dark place, a Necromamon was thrown to a wall, where a crack was formed in the shape of the necromancer was left as he groaned and looked up at the wounded demon who was currently trying to break some of the supporting curses. A small trail of blood ran from one side of his head as he glared at Daemon. He picked himself up and his staff as well and strode towards the demon once more when something pulled his leg and he fell. He glared angrily at his 'assailant' and saw a Clowmon, lying face- down on the floor and its feet still on the unicycle.

"Master Neck-cracker-mon, Clowmon came over here to tell you that Master Piedmon told me to tell you..." it was cut off.

"Get to the point!!" he bellowed, earning a squeak and a gulp from Clowmon.

"*eep!!* Well... Master Piedmon said he wants you to bring the girl to him." Necromamon looked up at the evil man for agreement and received a nod of approval.

"Fine. Take her. And next time, stick it to that brain of yours that my name is Ne-cro-ma-mon." he said, kicking the jester away, who unlocked the cage and smiled sweetly at her.

"Hi! I'm Clowmon. What's yours?" it said as it tied her wrists a bit loosely, since it couldn't tie a pair of shoelaces. The girl looked at it strangely before answering,

"H...Heather."

"Ooooooh... Heather! Nice..." it was about to say something else when Necromamon interrupted,

"YOU GET HER TO PIEDMON OR ELSE!!!!" Another 'eep!' and both were off.

In the corridor, Clowmon really took his time getting to know Heather.

"So... Heather thinks what Clowmon is doing is bad?"

"Of course! Besides, why are you working here in the first place?" Clowmon found this hard to answer and pondered a bit and sighed sadly.

"Clowmon was taken away from his village. He was the only survivor and scary Master Nook-croaker-mon took him in." he said, pulling the rope gently as a gesture for Heather to keep up with him.

"...Where are we going and why are we going in circles?" Heather asked, getting uneasy.

"Clowmon wants to ask for something." He said suddenly, looking at Heather.

"And that is...?"

"...Clowmon wants to be free. He wants to get out of here and live normally. He doesn't want to be tortured every day with scary spells and... and... weapons..." he said, his voice cracking and shaky. Light blue tears rolled down the clown's cheek and even the masked part of its face seemed like it was crying.

"Alright. If you help me and Daemon out of here, I'll help you in any way I can. Deal?" she asked, hoping the clown wasn't a very good actor to touch her feelings so easily. Strangely, he wasn't acting!

"How can Clowmon thank you! Here, follow him!" he said as he untied the ropes and hurried down a staircase, Heather close behind.

A black bike skidded to a halt in front of an old castle, once strong, now ruins. Even in ruins, it still has a regal look to it. The biker smiled and dismounted his bike and strode to the door, knocking before the door swung open without anyone in sight. He quirked an eyebrow and stepped inside, the door slamming shut behind him.

"Alara, you've got five minutes before we leave." He said, looking around the huge room, seeing if she was around. He heard echoes of 'I'm coming!' from upstairs and was expecting to hear heels on the floor but heard nothing. He took a step forwards and something fell from the ceiling. With a quick reflexive move, he caught it, as it was Alara. She giggled when she saw the look on his face.

"Rouge, Rouge, Rouge... You can't seem to hear me flying, can't you?" she said, tapping his chin. He rolled his eyes skywards and sighed.

"You almost gave me a heart attack there, y'know?" she laughed, still cradled in Rouge's powerful arms and replied,

"I didn't know you can actually get a heart attack! And, do you mind? I can walk on my own two feet." She said as-a-matter-of-factly. A mischievous grin formed on Rouge's face as he tossed her around, not giving her much time to actually spread her wings.

"Rouge!! Put me down! Put me down, now!!!" she shrieked as Rouge laughed on the ground. He caught her one last time and set her on the floor when she leaned onto him for support.

"Ugh... I feel sick..." she said, slightly turning a shade of green. She turned to him and poked him in the chest.

"And it's all YOUR fault, dummy." He just shrugged, still grinning as widely as ever.

"Well, we have to take care of some things, anyway. We ready to go? Or do you need to refresh your make-up?" she whacked his back real hard as a reply. He yelped and rubbed the spot where she had hit him, which was something useless since he couldn't reach it.

"Very funny, Rouge..."

"Oh. Come on! I was just joking." He said as they both walked out, just in time to see the area turning to ice.

"Looks like we have company."

"The Snow priestess has arrived."

From the explosion caused by Chaos Lord's attack, stood Flame Lord unscratched. A small ring of fire circled around his body, almost like an attack amplifier more than that of defense. (think FF8's save point.) Chaos Lord was speechless. No digimon had ever survived that attack unscratched and he was looking at the first one. Flame Lord advanced to him slowly, raising his blade as it erupted into flames.

"Reign of..." he couldn't finish his sentence as a shadow-like digimon struck the fiery digimon's side, although it was stopped by a fire barrier. Flame Lord turned to look at the digimon. The Hybrid digivolution of Wizardmon; Shadowmon. The shadow digimon prepared another attack, a black sphere in his hand.

'...Shadowmon...' Flame Lord looked around, seeing he was surrounded by Lucifer, Wyna as Remmon, Chaos Lord, E'vie and Lars and Wick as Shadowmon.

"Give it up, Flame Lord! We'll open the Sacred Sanctuary no matter what!" Rico yelled, as Flame Lord glared at the young boy.

"You will not. I swear on behalf of the Gate I guard!!!" Flame Lord yelled, erupting in flames, trying to knock the others off their feet. He succeeded however and dashed in Lucifer's direction first. He managed to cast Shell of Darkness but the powerful strike of Flame Lord's 'Infernal Sword' broke it and Lucifer was knocked out cold. He back-flipped right behind Remmon and struck her as well and was about to move on to E'vie when his assault was stopped by her brother.

"Lay a finger on her and you're dead meat." Lars growled, picking Flame Lord by the collar. Flame Lord looked into Lars' eyes lazily when something pierced through Lars' chest. The burning sword had embedded itself into the Virus but to his surprise, Lars wasn't deleted. He may be fading out but, he kept on re-materializing. Taking this chance, Chaos Lord, Shadowmon and Remmon brandished each of their weapons and struck Flame Lord in three different directions. Caught off guard, Flame Lord was surprised. Surprised to be defeated by mere hybrids. (save Chaos Lord) The flame digimon sank to his knees and fell face first onto the heated earth below him. Remmon started coughing blood from the previous blow she took as Shadowmon went over to her.

"The gate's not open yet. He's not giving up." Chaos Lord said, looking down on the seemingly unconscious mon. To his and everyone's surprise, they heard a low chuckle. The bloodied digimon on the floor turned, barely able to stop himself from falling flat on his back and looked up at Chaos Lord through glazed eyes.

"It'll take... more than three hybrids... to get rid of me and make me open the gate of Flames!" He managed to stagger up to his feet, blood flowing out of the deep wound in his gut. Suddenly, a cool rush of wind entered. It felt refreshing, like being underwater.

"...Wendiene..." Flame Lord muttered under his breath and listened to the soft wind. He smiled. He let go of the flame saber he held in his left hand and fell back once more before disappearing in a swirl of flames. Suddenly, the place became surprisingly hot and a portal opened in front of them, taking in anything within its reach. E'vie spread her wings to stop the rest from getting sucked into the portal and Chaos Lord was holding onto both Lucifer and Nina.

"What's going on!?" Rico yelled over the loud wind. The hot air circled around them and because of the intense heat, Chaos Lord had to let go of one of his hands. Unfortunately, it was where Nina was holding on to.

"NINA!!!!!!" The spirit-digivolved digimon yelled as their tamer disappeared into the portal and it finally closed once more.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Bee sank to his knees and pounded on the floor, feeling very guilty. Black was at the edge of being in a mental blocking state and Lucifer wouldn't talk to anyone. He even blocked out his other two companions.

"...She's still alive. I can feel it." Wick suddenly said, glowing a pale purple colour. The other three weren't listening to him.

"I sure hope you're right, Wick. They won't budge." Rico said, looking at the three digimon. Wick took one look at them and sighed.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Somewhere in an unknown dimension, Nina couldn't see nor hear anything.

'...Where am I...?' she opened her eyes slowly and turned her head very slightly to see a very bright ceiling. It didn't look like a ceiling at all, more like a hole which was on top of a bottomless pit. A regal figure floated towards her and held her hand. It felt so familiar... she suddenly felt very tired and closed her eyes once more.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

"Can't believe you took her here!"

'...Who...? Or what... was that...?'

"This is none of your business, Bolt. Now, I want you out of this room."

"But..."

"Out." The simple cold reply warded off the second person in the room with the sound of a whip of lightning. Nina opened her eyes and saw blinding lights. She hastily shut them as someone approached her.

"You're awake at last."

"...Who're you? And... where am I...?" Nina said slowly.

"I am Chaos Lord. And you are in the land of the Forgotten Kings." (I'm really sorry I can't put in the word 'God', Iniora. Pls understand... I'm a Muslim and we Muslims believe that there is only one God which is Allah so it is against our religion to even put this in.) Nina turned to the direction of the voice and looked at the digimon next to her. It wasn't Bee and Black. The two troublemakers have amber eyes but now, she was looking at gentle, icy blue eyes.

"The land of... WHAT!?!?!?!?!"
