Roots of Power
"Was MetalTyrannomon the best or what?" Ryan was looking smug at the fact that he released his Crest from his Golden Digi-egg and got DarkTyrannomon to his Ultimate level "For the 18th time YES!" Sarah was red at this point, annoyed at how Ryan wouldnt let it go "Your Quiet James" Calvin looked at his best friend who was not saying a word "I...Im just tired" Sarah looked at him briefly and then turned away trying to guilt James into telling the others of his secret "As you as your ok" Guidemon stopped in front of the group and looked around "This is as far as I have ever got" The group looked at the plain path of the mountain that looked the same as the other paths they had followed before "Why didnt you go further on your travels here Guidemon?" Guidemon pointed at a glowing beacon almost hidden in the rocky exterior of the mountain "That beacon is a sign that we are close to Bragon city, it is the only sign of life on this mountain, well apart from Ariesmon" Kelly was looking puzzled "But why didnt you go into Bragon city Guidemon?" Guidemon turned around to face the Digidestined "The Digimon of Bragon city are very odd, many stories tell of them welcoming travellers to there city but there are also stories of them attacking travellers who simply seek silum from the harsh weather conditions that can affect this mountain" The group nodded understanding the best they could "That is why my friends from this point on I shall bid you a farewell" Michelle looked upset "You dont have to go Guidemon you can come with us" Guidemon smiled "That is a very generous offer but I feel that taking you all here is my duty done, not to be rude that is, but I wish to go back to my home to rest and write of my adventures with you"
"Hmm this will work in my favour ..." Ariesmon stood watching as Guidemon left the Digidestined for his home "PHYWIZARDMON!" Ariesmon called to the leader of his Coruptian Knights "Yes my lord" From within the ground PhyWizardmon came up next to his master "I want you to send out one of the knights to take care of the Digidestined" Ariesmon looked down at the group and was almost drawn towards Michelle "This one ... she almost needs to be attacked ... or captured ..." PhyWizardmon looked down at Michelle "She is pitiful my lord" Ariesmon glared at PhyWizardmon "Ok I shall send my Knight out to attack her" Ariesmon smiled "No one can stand in my way ... no one ..." Michelle looked up from a chill on the back of her neck "You ok Michelle?" her little brother stood next to her waiting for a response "Yeah ... im ok ... it just felt like I was being watched ... you know that feeling you get right?" Justin nodded "Im not disagreeing Im just asking" Justin looked up, then Hagurumon and Floramon with no sign of life "I suppose its just our imaginations, with Guidemon being gone we probaly feel a bit freaked out about what could be watching us" Michelle nodded "Your right Floramon, its just our imaginations" Michelle walked over to the group once again "So we're just gonna walk into the town and then ask for some shelter and food got it?" Everyone nodded as Sarah took charge "Hey why do you keep looking at me? I said ok" Sarah turned away "Anyhow lets play it quiet, we dont want to be attacked especially with the fact that these Coruptian Knights are after us" the group began walking through the stone archway that signified that they were entering Bragon City.
"Wow this place is huge!" Kelly was looking down upon Bragon City which was full of houses and shops "Are you sure we're still in the Digital World?" Connar looked on his D-Terminal "Unfortuantly yes we are but we're in a part thats based on the real world by the looks of it" Sarah looked towards the biggest building that she could see "I wonder what that place is?" Kunemon looked at the building "Looks important whatever it is" Nyrodramon went up in the air to see the building better "It looks like some kind of office building thats been joined with a casino" Flaremon and Betamon went down the hill like entrance to the city a bit further "Well whatever it is theres lots of Digimon gathering around it" the group began to walk further into the city "Its beautiful here" Floramon was amazed with the lights that were flashing in the city as if it was a pierside arcade "Wonder what makes it so famous" Calvin looked down at the nearest building "Well apart from the sometimes less than friendly inhabitants" Michelle went up to the building in front of her "Hey guys check it out this place is entrance booth?" the group slowly came to a halt in front of the ticket booth "Welcome travellers to the best city in the Digital World ... Bragon City!" A strange Digimon popped up from the bottom of the ticket booth "Im afraid that unless you pay a fee you will not be permitted to enter" James looked at the strange Digimon "Fee?" The Digimon nodded "Yes, here in Bragon city everything is free or done for very small favours, and eventuly many Digimon came and started to trash the city so the council of elder Digimon decided that every passer in Bragon City would pay a small fee in exchange for all the help and pleasure they would recieve in the city" Sami was looking amazed at a gigantic merry go round in the near distance "Oh please pay James I wanna go on the merry go round!" Sami was smiling as James unimpressingly gave the money to the Digimon "Thank you for your donation you and your friends may now enter Bragon City" The Digimon smiled as he put the money away and the group apart from James and Calvin entered and headed for the merry go round "So who are these Elder Digimon?" Calvin was looking intrigued "Oh the Elder Digimon are the remaining survivers of the Digimon who first proclaimed Bragon City many years ago" Calvin nodded "How many are there then?" The Digimon laughed "You must be new around here, there are 3 elder Digimon and they live in the Bragon Tower in the center of town, it overlooks the entire city" Calvin nodded "Thanks for the help ... er ... im sorry I dont know who you are" Calvin rubbed the back of his head as he laughed "I am Monemon, the entrance keeper ... now that we're done I think ill head back to see my family, goodbye!" Monemon left the entrance booth and headed into the city as James and Calvin went to catch up with the others.
"Yay!" Sami smiled as she, ViElecmon, Betamon, Floramon, Michelle and Justin rod on the merry go round "Hey come on now you guys lets try and find somewhere to stay the suns starting to set now" the group got off the merry go round and began heading further into the city "So you two find out what that tower building is?" Ryan looked at them "Yeah, turns out thats where those elder Digimon Monemon talked about live" Ryan looked shocked "All that for some out of date Digimon?" Sarah looked annoyed "Mind what you say in here Ryan, dont forget they run Bragon City and could easily have us chucked out" Kunemon nodded at Sarah's comment "Hey looks like we found somewhere to stay!" Justin pointed at a giant hotel with a massive sign saying Free rooms on it "Finally im exhausted!" Pengiunmon ran ahead of everyone into the hotel "Now I shall take out the Digidestined!" CoruNefertimon stood upon the ledge of a building across the road from the hotel "Now lets knock on the door before they get comfortable!" CoruNefertimon opened her wings and flew towards the hotel "Slab Smash!" A giant stone flew towards the hotel knocking through the door "What was that?" the group came running out to see CoruNefertimon flying above them "Looks like another Knights come out to play!" Ryan was looking excited "Not to be mean or anything Ryan but she's airborne so leave it to me and Pengiunmon!" Connar got out his Digivice "Pengiunmon! Digivolve!" Pengiunmon came running out of the hotel "Ok already!" Pengiunmon jumped off of the hotels steps "Pengiunmon Digivolve to ... THUNDERBIRMON!" Tunderbirmon Flew up and began chasing CoruNefertimon around "You will never catch me bird!" CoruNefertimon sped up and continued easily outrunning Thunderbirmon "I have to agree with her, Kunemon you Digivolve and help out Thunderbirmon!" Kunemon went fowards "Floramon you Digivolve to incase she come down to the ground!" Floramon went forwards aswell "Kunemon Digivolve to ... KUWAGAMON!" Kuwagamon went flying up in the direction of CoruNefertimon "Floramon Digivolve to ... KIWIMON!" Kiwimon stood watching CoruNefertimon waiting to attack.
"ThunderStorm!" The sparks of electricity went flying at CoruNefertimon but were easily blocked by her Armour "We need to think of a way to ground her otherwise we're stuck!" Sarah looked at Kuwagamon "Ive got it, Thunderbirmon you keep her busy while Kuwagamon gets a bit faster!" Sarah held out her Crest "Crest Digivolution ... The Crest of Innocence! Kuwagamon Digivolve to ... OKUWAMON!" Okuwamon went flying as fast as she could to the now distracted CoruNefertimon "You wont catch me birdbrain!" Thunderbirmon sighed "First off yes I am a birdbrain and secondly I may not be able to catch you but she can!" CoruNefertimon looked confused as she turned around and Okuwamon came flying at her wing "Double Scissor Claw!" Okuwamon bit CoruNefertimon's right wing as she screeched in pain and the two smashed into the ground covering the road in dust "Okuwamon!" Sarah ran towards the fog as it cleared revealing CoruNefertimon on the ground unable to fly and Crawlmon on the floor unconcious "For that bug I will destroy you!" CoruNefertimon lifted her Paw "NOOOO!" Sarah was crying as Thunderbirmon swooped by and picked up Kunemon "You Digidestined are annoying!" Thunderbirmon landed over by Sarah with Kunemon as he DeDigivolved into Pengiunmon "Ground forces move in!" Kiwimon went towards CoruNefertimon "Hey wait for me!" Hagurumon came floating fowards "Hagurumon Digivolve to ... TANKMON!" Tankmon and Kiwimon stood in front of CoruNefertimon "I may not be able to fly but I can still hurt you by foot!" CoruNefertimon pounced at Tankmon "Um no thanks!" Kiwimon turned at CoruNefertimon "Pummel Peck!" CoruNefertimon was pushed back by the attack but was still unhurt due to her Armour "Hyper Cannon!" Tankmon took his best shot at CoruNefertimon "Ouch! That tickled!" CoruNefertimon pounced once again "Dark Claw!" the attack hit Tankmon sending him flying towards Justin as he DeDigivolved to Hagurumon.
"Pummel Peck!" Kiwimon continued to attack CoruNefertimon with no success "She's not stong enoguh she needs to be at the Ultimate level to even puncture CoruNefertimon's Armour!" Michelle was now looking worried "Dark Claw!" CoruNefertimon hit Kiwimon knocking her to the ground as she began phasing into data "No! Kiwimon!" CoruNefertimon laughed "Even when I cant fly I can take you out, how pathetic!" CoruNefertimon lifted her paw "Now to finish you off you root!" Michelle eyes opened as if she knew what to do "This better work ... KIWIMON I BELIVE IN YOU!" Michelle's voice echoed in the street as Kiwimon opened her eyes "I belive in you to Michelle" Michelle's Golden Digi-Egg appeared in front of her as it turned into her Crest and upgraded her Digivice "I cant belive I did it!" Michelle's Crest began to glow "Now you not gonna belive it aswell you stray!" CoruNefertimon looked insulted "Crest Digivolution ... The Crest of Belief! Kiwimon Digivolve to ... BLOSSOMON!" As the light faded Blossomon got onto her roots as they went into the earth below her "You wanted a fight so now you gonna get one!" CoruNefertimon leaped back "You wont defeat me!" Blossomon went fowards "Thats where you wrong ... stray!" Blossomon smiled "Spiral Flower!" Blossomon's flower went shooting at CoruNefertimon as it cracked her Armour "How did you do that, Ariesmon Armour is indestuctible!" Blossomon laughed "Looks like he decided to cut some costs!" CoruNefertimon pounced at Blossomon "Ill show you!" Blossomon whipped CoruNefertimon to the floor with her flower "Sorry cat but you beat!" Blossomon pulled her flower back "Spiral Flower!" the flower went straight through CoruNefertimon's chest as she became data "Wow Floramon's got a bad temper while fighting hasnt she!" Ryan stepped back as Blossomon turned around and DeDigivolved to Seedmon, her Fresh Level "That was amazing Seedmon, she had no idea it was coming" Michelle smiled as she hugged Seedmon.
"Right now that we're in the hotel and are calmed down I have something to tell you guys ..." James looked at Sarah as everyone looked at James, Sarah nodded "Well guys im from a different reality, now is anyone ready for some Ice cream?" James tried not to stop to hear the groups answers "He's lost it, you owe me a fiver Kelly!" Sarah stepped fowards "He's telling the Truth you guys, take him seriously ... it took alot of Courage for him to tell us" Calvin stood staring at him "You didnt tell anyone ... not even me ... your best friend" James could see how upset everyone was at him "Well its not something you bring up in everyday conversation, Oh yeah by the way Calv im from a different reality, so how are you?" Calvin walked out of the room and into the hallway "You shouldnt have said that to him you know, you can be such a jerk sometimes James!" Justin followed Calvin out into the hallway as James looked out of the window "Ok I totally blew everything up!" James walked onto the balcony as Nyrodramon followed him and the rest of the group went downstairs to take everything in "There never gonna Trust me again" Nyrodramon nodded "They will, there just annoyed at you, you have to admit it is a big thing" James nodded "Your right ... I should give them some space" James got a peice of paper and write a note on it and pinned it to a message board that was in the room "Come on bud let's go!". "We should talk to him, I know he deserves this but he did tell us" Sarah was trying to persuade the group back up "Ok ... we can talk ..." The group turned around following Calvin almost as a substitue leader "Ill knock" Sarah tapped on the door "Hey James open up it us!" Ryan pushed through "This is the way you do it!" Ryan went through the door and looked in "Hey guys he's not in here!" the group came in "he has to be we didnt see him leave down the stairs" Sarah walked over to the board "I know this is a big thing for you guys to except so Ive decided until your ready Ill leave you as I know your all pretty mad at me. see you guys later. James" Sarah read the message to the group as a cold breeze blew the rooms curtains in "He's gone? How?" Ryan stood there confused "He got Nyrodramon to Digivolve to Angemon and flew out of the window moron!" Sarah looked out of the window "I Hope he'll be ok ..."
