Episode #10

Revelation!

"OK Charpimon, I've pin-pointed the yellow Digivice. It's right around this bend, only about half a mile from where we are now. Less if we cut through the woods." said Mel looking at her Digivice. "Let's try the transport thing Michael told us about."

"I say we cut through the forest and get there as soon as possible." said Charpimon, sitting down and rubbing her feet.

"No, if we do that, the Digivice might begin to move downstream again and we would be stuck in the forest. We should stick to the shore line." she said, plotting the travel rout. "OK, we are ready to go!" she said pressing the initiative button, making her wish.

"Weee! This is sooo cool!" said Charpimon as they sped along in the red bubble-like formation. Actually, to say that it was red would be incorrect, because it was a mixture of colors, reds, oranges, and yellows, all swirling with each other. Every now and then there would be a ripple of energy that would pass over it's surface. A beautiful bubble.

And then it popped, throwing Charpimon and Mel out onto the sand on their behinds. "Ow!" they both exclaimed, as one naturally would after being thrown several feet across the sandy ground.

"What happened Mel?" said Charpimon rather irritably as she brushed the sand out of her feathers.

"I don't know!" she yelled, pissed. She looked at her Digivice, and at the flashing words 'Connection Terminated.' "This is bad, but, terminated from what?" she wondered.

"Now what are we going to do?" asked Charpimon.

"Walk. The bubble got us most of the way there, so we should be able to make it there quite soon. It's a good thing that we didn't cut through the wood. Sand is softer than sticks and brambles." she shuddered at the thought.

"Well, I'd say we have about seven more hours of sunlight, so visibility isn't a problem. it's the reeds that we have to deal with." said Charpimon, beginning to walk.

"Yeah."

"Hey Michael!" said Rosie, walking into the boy's camp. Being boys, the encampment was naturally messy. The camp fire was still burning, and there were asundrious signs of extended living. "Man didn't you guys ever hear of 'no trace camping?'"

"What do you mean?" asked Michael, clueless as to what she was trying to say.

"Hey man, it's his mess not mine!" yelled Caleb pointing at Michael.

"... Whatever. The others should be arriving here soon, so let's at least get some food ready and clean up this place." said Rosie, putting a hand on her head and sighing.

"You sound like my mother." mumbled Caleb as they began picking up around camp. Just then Darikomon and Elsemon got back with some fruits and other things of the forest.

"Chow!" they said.

"Yeah! All right Darikomon and Elsemon!" said Michael eyeing the food. Then he saw the disapproving Rosie gave him and said as an after thought, "Hey, just put it over there on the big rock OK?"

Not long after they had the whole of the encampment cleaned and looking like no one had been there.

"Much better" said Rosie smiling at their good work. Is there any running water near here?"

"Yes, over there." said Elsemon pointing to a grove of trees. "I shall lead you there." He said, starting to walk toward the edge of the forest. "There are even fish!"

"Great!" said Rosie, beginning to follow him. "Well, come on guys! What'cha waiting for! Let's go fishing!"

"Heh, heh heh heh ... You're real stubborn, ya are. Don't ya know that if y're real stubborn the master only hurts ye more? Heh, heh heh heh heh ... " Said the evil looking Digimon jailer. He looked sort of like a midget Greymon, except he had red and black skin, and one of his horns was broken off. And he seemed very stupid. Very, very, very stupid.

"Yeah, yeah." said Nomon. She had been chained up in this dirty, smelly, putrid dungeon for days now. She hadn't head a substantial meal since she could remember. "It's all Lexxy's fault, it's all my fault, it's all everybody's fault, and it's especially no ones fault ... " she thought, closing her eyes tightly, trying to hold back the tears. It wouldn't help to be loosing much needed water through her eyes. "Get a grip Nomon, you can't cry now. Now how are we to get out of here?" Her mind was racing for any idea, anything at all, but fatigue and hunger were getting the best of her. Then she heard the sound of crunching ... dripping. The jailer was eating. Eating something nasty I might add, but nevertheless, he was eating. This welled up a huge ball of hatred inside of herself, and she screamed out with all the strength she had left, "OK! YOU CAN WHIP ME, MAKE FUN OF ME, TORTURE ME, BUT YOU'RE NOT EATING IN FRONT OF ME!!" She was panting with the effort to say this, and the jailer turned around to face her, his dumb watery eyes looking at her, trying to understand the meaning of what she had said.

"Well ... Ya' want some?" he said, offering a piece of meat on a bone. It looked disgusting, but disgusting was better than nothing when you're starving.

Nomon paused in shock, that her captor would willingly be offering her food. "S-sure." she finally managed to stammer. He shoved the piece of meat into her mouth seeing as that was the only thing available, her hands were shackled to the wall. It was gross, and had some former inhabitants, but what the heck, when you're starving anything will do. After she wad finished, he offered her something from his flask. It was bitter, and probably contained something alcoholic, as it burned the throat as a kind of terrible refreshment. Next thing she knew he was unlocking her from her chains and they were both sitting on the floor laughing like fools because of the drugs in the drink. While he was falling over himself with laughter, she realized her chance of escape. She waited until he had fallen asleep, stole his keys, and locked his hands and feet together. Twisting her body like a side winder, she made her way over to the door, unlocking it. It amazingly didn't squeak, making her way up the stairs as quietly as she could. "This is too easy ... " she said quietly to herself. Then she saw the dark shape in front of her.

"It is." he said.

"OK, the Digivice should be around this corner somewhere ... " said Mel as she and Charpimon walked around the bend of the river. "Let's start looking!" she said as she pulled off her boots and socks, rolled up her pants, took her bag off her belt, and threw her vest on the ground.

"OK. We're going to work our way up the river, right?" asked Charpimon.

"Yeah, now let's go!" said Mel as she stepped into the water. "Hey, the water's warm! I'll take the right side, and you the left. Is that all right with you?"

"Sure Mel, I'm just dying to know who has this Digivice."

======

"I think we're ready to go." said Lexxy looking over their packs.

"OK then let's head out!" said Vishomon, picking up her pack. Lexxy followed suit.

"Maybe everything will turn out all right after all." thought Lexxy as they began walking. She smiled. Just being with Vishomon made her very happy. Later they were walking upstream, making good time, and talking. "Hey, I think this is where I met Nomon. It should be somewhere upstream." They rounded a bend and stopped short, aghast.

There before them was the burnt remains of what had once been a village. All that remanded were a group of smoldering houses and a few Stingmon guards. Each had a gold ring on his finger, and each wielded a long poles with an electrical pulse at the end. One of them came up to Lexxy and Vishomon and Lexxy and said, "By order of law, his most high lord of the land commands that all inhabitants of this area be taken hostage and brought to the Great Mountain for questioning. His power is great! He is Kurayamimon the Supreme! You will come with me." said he, calling a few more guards over to his side. They all began to charge their electrode Poles and held them in an aggressive stance.

"Uh oh, Vishomon, I think we're in trouble .. Vishomon?" said Lexxy, keeping her eyes on the guards, but when she glanced down, Vishomon wasn't there. She had stepped out in front of Lexxy.

Her arms were spread wide and she said menacingly, "Sorry boys, we're not going any where. Not today, and not ever."

"I am sorry, that is not a choice." said the head guard.

"Then let's make it one." said Vishomon jumping up into the air. "Hitogomi Shototsu!" (Crush Hit!) She brought her antlered head down onto the first Stingmon's head, making him reel back in pain. She quickly grabbed his Electrode Pole, and hit him with it, paralyzing him. The others charged her and she made quick work of her hand, feet and antlers. Lexxy grabbed another one of the Electrode Poles, and soon, all the guards were piled up in a heap, groaning with the dull pain caused by the electricity.

Vishomon walked over to the head guard and with one paw picked up his head by his ears and threatened him with the Pole. " Now tell me, what happened here?" she threatened him.

"We destroyed the village, and took hostages by order of his excellency the almighty ... " the guard said gruffly.

"I don't want to hear his title. Was there a Nomon among the captives?" demanded Vishomon, jerking his head back with emphasis.

"Perhaps." he said simply, refusing to tell her any more.

"Tell me!" Vishomon demanded again, threatening him with the Pole.

"No. I never reveal the ... " but he never had time to finish, because Vishomon stabbed him hard with the Electrode Pole, further paralyzing him.

"OK, let's try this again. Was there a Nomon in the group of captives?" Vishomon demanded from the other guards.

One looked up at her and mumbled something. "Yea, there were a few. All were taken to Kurayamimon's Mountain Fortress."

Vishomon raised his head up to eye level by his long ears and said, "Now ye listen to me. We need to get to that fortress, and ye're gonna' take us there. UNDERSTAND?"

The Stingmon nodded as well as he could, as he was still paralyzed. Vishomon held very still, and mumbled some ancient rites, keeping her hand on the Stingmon's head. He recognized this and his eyes widened in fear. Suddenly he began to glow, and his shape changed into that of a small Wormmon. He had a golden ring on one of his claws. He blinked a few times, and looked around in surprise.

"There, that makes you much more transportable." said Vishomon, picking up the little Wormmon. "Lexxy, help me tie down the others." They went about tying up the other Stingmon, and paralyzing them with their own Electrode Poles.

"Vishomon, why don't we just downgrade them?" asked Lexxy, tying up the last Stingmon guard.

"I shall explain later. Let's get going, I want to get to that mountain fortress as soon as possible." said Vishomon picking up the Wormmon and beginning to walk. "What I did was a very powerful spell that I used. It dates back to the Elder Days. It takes away enough energy to reduce them one level, but it uses so much of your energy, you have to use the expelled energy to revitalize yourself. I can only use it in emergencies. That's why I can't use the spell on all the guards."

"Oh." said Lexxy, walking beside her. "Don't worry Nomon, I'll find you ... I promise."
