Chapter 11
He beams as he finally makes it to the three level of the game. The game is Black & White. It has to do with choosing to be a good god or an evil one. He also gets this cool giant beast to raise. He can train his giant Tiger to do just about anything. He also named the Tiger Tony, after the cereal tiger.
He sighs and scratches his hat; he can't seem to figure out how to free Tony. He has a good eight missionaries working to convert the enemy village, but it's frustrating. He also had to admit that it's easier to be evil then good in the game. For the damage he does to the village works in his favour, but he really doesn't want the villagers to fear him too. He sighs and stops the game and says, "I'm sore." Revmon just grins and says, "I believe it. It's not like the game's going anywhere." Patamon nods in agreement and adds, "I have to admit that the level your on is kind of frustrating! I can't believe that it's so hard for you to do spells to help out that village. It just doesn't seem fair."
He sighs and moves out from under the small desk that the laptop is resting on. They all turn to where Jager is making lunch. As he walks, he could hear his body crack and he could feel some spots protesting him moving. He soon makes it to where Kari is resting and sits on the bed.
"You spent too much time not moving." Kari says with a bit of a giggle. He blushes a bit at this and answers, "That games addicting! I'm trying to convert this village into following me, but without Tony's help, it's really hard." Gatomon and Kari just blink at this and Gatomon then asks, "Tony? And just what kind of game are you playing?" He thinks about the best way to explain it and after a good three minutes of thinking, he begins, "The game's called Black & White. You play as a god and the goal is to convert as many villages into worshiping you. You also get to choose to raise this giant beast. The first three that you can choose from are an Ape, Cow, and a Tiger. The Ape is smarter of the three, but the Tiger is the better fighter. You also get to teach the beast spells, how to help out the village by collecting stuff they need, and how to use the spells to make village life better. I'm raising at the Tiger and have name him Tony." He pauses and finds both Kari and Gatomon interested. He continues, "I'm on the three level or three land. It's really hard, 'cause it's just easier to make this one village fear you, but I don't want to be an evil god! But I need this village to worship me in order to free Tony." He finishes lamely.
"Sounds like an really odd game." Kari says slowly. He sighs and just nods weakly at this. Gatomon then says, "Looks like lunch is almost ready." He turns and finds both Patamon and Revmon already sitting at the table with plates and stuff on it. They found the cooking things in the kitchen, but everyone agreed that they should do the cooking in the same room as where Kari is.
He gets off the bed and then helps Kari out of it too. He likes Kari, even if she's a girl. He gets the feeling that Jager must have been close to the Kari from his own time line. They walk side by side as they make it towards the table to sit and eat food.
He sits on Jager's left; Kari is between Revmon and Gatomon. Jager soon begins, signalling for them to dig in. He takes three sandwiches and hands over his bowl to get some soup. After Jager fills his bowl, he begins by dipping the grilled cheese into the mushroom soup. If he hasn't had this soup before, like yesterday, he might have been eerie at the look of the soup. But between Matt daring him and watching, as the others also seemed to enjoy the soup after a spoonful, he decided to try it and now he likes it.
Soon they finish eating and he helps his older brother out. He notices that Revmon is helping Kari out with the computer, but didn't mind. It's Jager's computer, not his.
It was then that they felt the building shake. Jager soon orders the Digimon to look around the building; Kari and him soon begin to repack stuff into the packs. Jager finishes packing up his computer and solar power collector.
They soon leave the building and Jager nods to Revmon, Revmon nods and takes off. His brother leads them underground without Revmon. "Shouldn't he stay with us?" Kari asks. "He'll let the others know where we're headed." Is Jager's reply.
He hugs Patamon as they walk quickly down the stairs. They descend into the darkness; the sunlight can't reach them here. He shudders at this. He doesn't like not being able to see.
He hears Jager pause and they stop. They listen as Jager cranks something and soon they have light again. He lets out his breath that he's been holding. "What kind of flashlight is that?" Gatomon asks. "It's a flash light without batteries. You have to crank this part here clockwise. It's among the things that Gennai gave me before we went through the portal. I never really though about it since." Jager admits sheepishly. "Good to know that someone brought a flashlight." Patamon says. He nods in agreement with his partner.
They soon continue onwards, with Jager leading them. He just hopes that Matt and them are fine, but then thinks about MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon. He feels much better knowing that Matt is with Tai, it means that soon Machinedramon will be defeated and they could then meet up with the others safely.
(-------------------------------------Revmon---------------------------------------)
He races through the streets looking for the others. He soon finds them having trouble with some robot type Digimon. Not even missing a beat, he attacks the metal Digimon using his Sonic Breaker.
After attacking the Digimon, he lands in front of the group and says, "Jager's leading them underground." Then the machine Digimon are soon deleted. The others just stare at him in open awe. Then Izzy recovers first and says, "Good to know." Tai then says, "Underground it is. Lead the way." He nods; he soon leads them to another set of stairs. He had checked this place over the first night that they got here; it's something that both Jager and him have learnt over time. It's saved their lives more then once.
He sighs and turns before they enter the stairs. "I don't suppose any of you brought a flashlight?" He asks. The others blink and then Sora takes out a glow stick. "I found this on the floor after I got captured." Sora explains. Tai nods and motions for Sora to move in front of them. Sora cracks the glow stick and they now have some light. He turns and descends into the dark depths with the others following him.
As they go, his thoughts drift. He remembers that they no longer have the Digi Egg of Hope. They do have the Digi Egg of Darkness though. It mostly comes from the fact that Jager had gotten all depressed and angry. They have used it a few times though. When they use it, he Armour Digivolved into Shalindramon.
As Shalindramon, he is thirteen feet long and stands to be eight feet tall. He stands on all fours and he has a pair of light blue-feathered wings. His skin colour is the same colour as the Digi Egg of Darkness. His body isn't very bulky, just slender and well toned. His eyes are black in colour and he has white markings around his eyes and snout. His attacks are Shadow Beam, Midnight Slash, and Star Storm. As Shalindramon, he's a virus type but doesn't have the X-Antibody program.
He refocuses on where he's leading the group, for they were no longer walking down the stairs. He cocks his head to his left and then to his right. He then turns to his right and says, "That way." "Lead on then." Tai says. He leads the way once again.
After a good ten minutes of traveling, he hears stomachs growl. He asks without stopping, "You guys haven't eaten anything then." "We were going to, but we got distracted. Could you Digivolve without Jager being around?" Sora asks. "I can, but I might not become Fylgiamon though." He answers honestly. "But that's your champion form! Or are you going to warp Digivolve?" Tai asks. He shudders at the mention of him warp Digivolving, he still remembers the first time he did it and can't get rid of the way Jager stared at him after he did. They never really talked about it, even after all of this time, they might have gotten over some of Jager's fears, but not all of them.
"I can transform into Shalindramon." He answers. "But how?" Izzy asks. "It's called Armour Digivolving. There are 12 Digi Eggs, each having a crest on them. Other then the crests you know about, there are the Digi Egg of Kindness, of Miracles, of Fate, and, finally, of Darkness." He says. "So the other eight have our crests on them?" Matt asks. He nods and says, "I use to use the Digi Egg of Hope when I was Patamon. I transformed into Pegasusmon, but Jager and I no longer have that Digi Egg. We have the Digi Egg of Darkness." "Why not one with your guys crest?" Tai asks. "It takes too much energy to create and we don't use it too often though." He tells the others. "So, what kind of Digimon do our Digimon transform into?" Izzy asks. He pauses and then sighs. "The reason for the Digi Eggs looks to be nonexistent now. You see, Myotismon sparks the whole thing and four new Digidestine are chosen along with Kari and TK to save the Digital World. You see, this story is just too long to explain, but the jiff of it is, one of the new Digidestine becomes a puppet to Myotismon and creates this control spires. This control spires stop Digimon from Digivolving normally, so the second group needed the Digi Eggs. Three of the four get more then one Digi Egg." He says.
The others absorb this and they travel for a good five minutes, he's busy remembering those times. "Are you going to name names?" Tai asks. He sighs and thinks about it. "I guess it wouldn't hurt. Ken is the one that is used as a puppet and his partner is Wormon. Then there's Davis. Lets just say that he develops a crush on Kari and he idolizes Tai. Davis's partner is Veemon." He stops and he feels Tai place his hands on his shoulders. "What do you mean by this Kid crushing on my sister?" Tai asks. He should have known, and it looks like Tai didn't care about the part about idolizing him.
"I mean what I said. Davis becomes friends with Kari and develops a crush on your sister. Kari never went out on a date with him, if that helps." He says. "Leave the poor guy alone, Tai! He doesn't have to be telling us about this." Sora says sharply to Tai. "Just cool it, Tai." Matt says. Tai lets go of his shoulders and herubs them. He turns his head to look at the others behind him. He mouths his thanks to both Sora and Matt. They just nod and Tai then says, "Sorry, it's just … I'm kind of get protective of Kari." Izzy asks, "Kind of? You are protective of her." He nods in agreement. "Not true! I left TK and Jager with her!" Tai says. "TK's too young to know about dating." He smirks a bit at this, remembering the time after Jager and TK had gone swimming. "And Jager just won't, cause he used to be really good friends with his Kari to do something harmful to her." Matt says.
He turns his head once again to look behind them, for he hears something walking towards them. He frowns and Gabumon says, "Shhh. Something's coming!" "Is this right, Agumon?" Tai asks. "Yipe!" Agumon answers. The Digimon move towards the back of the group, to place themselves so that they're the ones that get the blunt of the damage if the Digimon attacks. They just wait for whatever it is to get closer.
