The Plan, Sickles, And Magic Rings

"Thank you Nomon, for freeing me from that wretched bag." Said Denkimon gratefully. After he had been freed, he was able to remove everyone else's shackles and chains.

"But, I don't understand," Asked a male Gatomon. "How were you able to survive Nomon's attack?"

"Well, it was something that I learned from Kurayamimon's hench-dragon Karasumon. She is really a corrupted Human-Partnered Digimon. When she tried to kill me, some force caused the wounds she inflicted to rapidly heal. It must be that we are meant to work as a team and during battle, if either one of us accidentally hurts an ally, they wouldn't remain mortally wounded." Mused Nomon.

"Perhaps, but I'm just glad that no one else got hurt." Said Usamon.

"But what I don't get is, why couldn't we hear or see Denkimon before? I mean, he was just in a bag." Asked Veemon.

"Well, that's just it. It wasn't JUST a bag. It was made out of rubber. And I am an electric type Digimon, so if I was shackled to the walls with metal shackles, I could have blown up most of the dungeon. So I was tied up and gagged in a rubber bag." Said Denkimon. He shuddered. "Even my gag and chords I was bound with were rubber. So that electrical flair really took a lot out of me."

"Okay Nomon, you're the boss. We've gotten this far all in one piece, what's the next part of the plan?" Asked Usamon.

"Well, I would suggest that we rest, but some one might come back while we are free. If we could reach up to that window, we could blast my way out." Said Nomon.

"Wait, Denkimon, do you think that if you could reach those metal bars you could blast them off the wall?" Asked Patamon.

"Maybe, I'm still very depleted of energy ... " Said Denkimon.

"Well, if Human partnered Digimon can't harm each other, maybe we can share energy." Suggested Nomon. "Denkimon, come over here. Now concentrate. Think of my energy going into you. This just might work." Said Nomon. She took Denkimon's hands.

"Try, try, TRY!"

"So, you be wanting to help?" Asked the leader of the Guilmon clan. He was taller than the rest of the Guilmon and boasted a long scar across his left eye and held a gnarled wooden staff in his clawed hand.

"Yessir!" Said Mel and Charpimon. They were seated in a kneeling position on the smooth wood floor in front of the clan leader, who was resting on a bench-like chair.

"We should always repay our debts." added Wormmon.

"The small one speaks the truth." Said the Guilmon leader. "If you are sure that you want work, then you shall have work. It will be hard."

"We realize this." Said Ryoshi.

"The wheat is ready for harvesting, so you shall be given sickles and banana leaf hats to block out the sun." Said the Guilmon leader. "Welcome to my village; my name is Pan."

"Thank you Pan!" said everyone. They bowed low and introduced themselves, then beaconed to stand.

"You shall go to the town's square and receive the equipment." Said Pan. They filed out of the neat room and into the warm sun. Lexxy had been encouraged to rest more, but she insisted to help with the work.

"Well, here goes nothing." said Lexxy.

"Welcome guests of the Stone Fortress atop Kurayami mountain. Please enjoy your meal in the grand dining hall this morning. Kurayamimon will be joining you after breakfast." said a guard dressed in black and gold. She lifted up the visor of her helmet, to reveal a face of golden fur, bright blue eyes ringed with black, and purple markings underneath her eyes, a very tall Renamon. "I will be at the front gate, if I am needed. And it is a courtesy to wear your rings, they were dearly made by Kurayamimon himself." She turned and stepped out of the hall, and closed the massive doors behind her.

The group was gathered in the huge hall from the other night. There were platters of good food set out all along the length of the table, and it looked delicious. After eating, the group waited for Kurayamimon to return.

They slipped their rings on when they heard his soft steps approaching. Suddenly the doors sprung open to reveal Kurayamimon. He was wearing a long black, silver, and gold cloak and a black Japanese style suit. "Ash Nazg Durbatulûk, Ash Nazg Gimbatul, Ash Nazg Thrakatulûk Agh Burzum-ishi Krimpatul!" And all went black.

"Denki Blaster!" yelled Denkimon, overloading the metal bars of the prison with electrical energy. The blew away from the wall and the tower of Digimon fell over into a large heap. They waited for any signs of guards or Kurayamimon, but none came.

"I think it's safe to get out now." Said Veemon softly. Denkimon climbed out of the hole he had made, carefully and quietly.

"We have to climb up a well-like thing here, it goes up for about ten feet, but we should be able to get out okay. I'm going to climb up to check for guards." He disappeared from sight for a few minuets until he yelled back down, "Come on out!"

Using themselves as a living Digimon ladder, they began to send each other up through the breech. Soon they were all outside, in the pale morning.
