Episode #11

Fishing, Fish, Wormmon and Whips ...

"Aw MEL! This is hopeless! This stupit thing is impossible to find!" complained Charpimon. They had been looking for almost two hours and were both covered in dirt and were completely wet.

"Just keep looking, it has to be here somewhere ... " said Mel, even though she wasn't so sure that they would find anything at all.

"Mel ... I'm hungry!" whined Charpimon.

"Oh stop your whining, I'm hungry too. There's a berry bush over there." said Mel, still looking through the reeds.

"Hey, you gals need a hand with something?" a voice said. Mel looked up. There standing before her was a fairly large cerulean colored Vishomon. He held a fishing net in one paw, a pole in the other, and donned a hat with a few lures on it.

"Oh, but it's not fish we're looking for. It's a Digivice, like this one," said Mel as she showed the Vishomon her's, "except it's yellow where mine is turquoise. And it's really important."

"Hmmm ... Don't believe I've seen anything quite like it ever in my life. But I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to get out of the river. Ya' see, this spot is the best place to catch fish, and you're scaring them away with all you're splashing and what not. But I'll tell ya this, if you help me bring in a few nets of fish, I'll help you find that Digivice of yours. Do we have a deal?" asked the Vishomon, offering his paw.

"We have a deal!" said Mel taking his paw.

"Now let's get to work!"

"All right! Fish!" was the exclamation heard throughout the day by the stream. Michael, Caleb, Rosie, Darikomon, and Elsemon were fishing with sticks sharpened by Caleb and Michael's pocket knife.

"Now what on earth would you be carrying a huge pocket knife around for?" asked Rosie.

"Well, it's kinda funny ... and a long story." said Michael, going red in the face.

"Hey, we've got time, and plenty of it." said Caleb.

"Well, I think it got put into my suitcase by accident, or as some insane joke Mel was playing on me. But anyway, when I got to camp, I found it in there, and knew I had to keep it hidden. At first, I hid it beneath the mattress, but then when I saw how they checked underneath the mattress whenever something disappeared, I had to hide it somewhere else, so the day we came into this world, I had it with me so I could hide it in the tree we were sitting under. I never got the chance to. It sort of came in handy in our battle with Sandiramon ... but oh well." said Michael.

"Oh ... " said everyone else. Michael was usually really quiet when he wasn't with his sister, but he was warming up to everyone.

"I caught a fish!"

"Now now, naught naughty naughty ... don't we know better than escaping from our cell?" said Kurayamimon, circling around Nomon, grinning menacingly. he held in his hand his usual whip. Nomon was chained to a black slab, lying on her back. She could barely see anything because of the bright lights shining in her eyes. "You know what I want, and I know what you want. Deep down inside you want something that you cannot, will not reveal to yourself. There are no options, Nomon. You can either join me or die. Either way I get stronger. And if you join in my forces, I can give you what you most desire." he leaned down close to her ear and whispered, "Freedom." At this Nomon quickly turned her head and spat in his face. "He drew his head back quickly, fuming and slapped her, leaving claw marks across her nose. "Have it your way then." Then he turned and left. "Karasumon, make sure the prisoner stays put this time, and try to talk some sense into her." said Kurayamimon to the tall She Dragon as he left the room.

"Mark and Kuzumon, I would like you to meet 'The Digital World Voices.' They are one of the best bands in the continent of Server." said Poad to Mark and his partner.

"Cool!" said Mark as he rushed into the room. Kuzumon and Poad followed after him.

Poad stepped forward and said, pointing to Veemon "This is Vee. He is the keyboardist for the group. He arranges the music and sound effects."

"Hi!" said Vee, energetically waving. He was wearing several gold chains around his neck and wrists, and baggy jeans kept up with a belt.

"And this is Guilmon, a drummer and music arranger." said Poad, turning to the red dragon Digimon.

"Hello, it's really nice to meet you." he said. He had been eating a loaf of bread, and still had a few crumbs on his nose. Mark began to giggle and Guilmon asked with a smile, "What's so funny?"

"This is Tigra and Liya, the Gatomon singers." said Poad motioning to two seated forms. The two Gatomon were dressed in green and white kimonos and sitting at a low table sipping tea. One was slightly different than the other in that she had black stripes and cream colored fur with green paws. The other had normal Gatomon coloring.

"But, who is who?" asked Kuzumon.

"I'm Tigra." said the black striped one.

"And I'm Liya." said the other.

Just then, two Vishomon strode in, both wearing black and gold and silver kimonos. Their fur was as white as cotton, and their eyes shone gold and silver. "Allow me to introduce ourselves. My name is Kodomo Tsuki, daughter of the silver moon." said the one dressed in black and silver.

"And I am Kodomo Taiyo, daughter of the golden sun. Both of us are Kodomo Hikari, daughters of the light." said the other in black and gold. After they had each spoken in turn, they bowed.

In all their life, Mark and Kuzumon had never heard voices more beautiful and mesmerizing before. "I'm really glad to meet every one here." said Mark. Then he and Kuzumon bowed, to their own surprise.

"But that ain't all!" said Veemon with a wink. "We're gonna play a song right here, right now!" Indeed, their equipment was set up in the back of the room, ready for a private performance. Never in his life had mark heard such strange and wonderful music! It was so pure and beautiful! Kuzumon seemed especially pleased and delighted as well.

Afterwards Mark, Kuzumon and Poad exchanged their thanks with the musicians, bowed and left.

"All right Wormmon, tell us where the fortress is." said Vishomon to the small Wormmon she was holding in her arms.

"You follow the flow of the river, and you will eventually be brought to Kurayami Mountain. That's the most direct way there from here." said Wormmon pointing at the flowing water.

"And you are telling the truth?" questioned Vishomon.

"Yes." said Wormmon, nodding his head. "A member of the Stingmon Guard never lies, the truth is always given."

"Well, you're not exactly a Stingmon any more ... " Lexxy said quietly.

Suddenly, there came a great rumbling from behind them, and the sky went dark. A hoard of Lynxmon came roaring up from behind the small group. Lexxy saw them and screamed out "Run!" As she ram Nomon's words came to mind, "Yes when there's eight or nine or one hundred of them chasing us!" Lexxy couldn't help but think of how foolish she had been, and this time, she was on her own with a Digimon half the size of her former friend Nomon.

Somewhere in the dark fortress, the dark king said, "Kill them."
