Chapter 14: Exodus of the Lawkeepers
Cherubimon's Warriors received a teleportation to the Lawkeepers' base on the western Earth Continent. The sun was burning brightly over the desert, as though trying to melt the sands into a fine glass. They appeared on the outskirts of a small, Western town with mostly wooden buildings. The place was crawling with Human-type Digimon who patrolled the area vigilantly in their occupation. Shinya recognized the area as Cactus Village; a stopover on his way to the tombs to complete his Spirit Quest.
"Man, there are Human-types everywhere!" observed Shinya.
They came across Socramon's saloon, which was fresh from its owner's repair job. In fact, Socramon's saloon was better than ever. The facade showed a big, easy to spot sign with the name of his business on it. It even showed a picture of the owner with a big smile on his face. In his picture Socramon carried a bottle of beer in one hand and a hamburger in the other. The building had received a new coat of white paint which made the entire building seem to have been built just a few days ago.
"Hey, the saloon's finished," noted Shinya, who spotted Lillymon serving several Human-type customers.
An Angemon came flying towards the Warriors. "Warriors, we need your help! Come speak to our leader."
The Warriors followed the Angemon to a hotel that had been commandeered by the Human-types. Several Knightmon patrolled the grounds of the hotel, clanking their armour all the while as they walked. In the air, other Angemon hovered about in the sky and watched what happened on the ground below. The Warriors were led to an office within the hotel that was occupied by the leader, a Magna Angemon.
"Warriors, thank goodness you're here! Our supply line has been cut and we're stranded on the Earth Continent with a Bestial Nations army. I've heard rumours that humans have invaded the Digital World and have attacked the Light Continent. I've also heard that Seraphimon is a fake! Is that true?"
"Yeah, it's all true," replied Koichi.
"Oh great..." groaned Magna Angemon.
"Cherubimon sent us to help you," informed Misty.
"He couldn't have picked a better time... Our supplies are getting low and the Bestial Nations and humans are attacking us repeatedly. We are nearing the end of our endurance. We can not continue like this!"
"Why don't we talk to the Bestial Nations leader and ask him to stop?" asked May.
"Save your breath, they will never ally with us," replied Magna Angemon.
"If they won't listen, we'll make them listen!" said Koichi. "We'll go and speak with their leader. Where is their camp?"
"It's to the east in the Summer Sun Fair; a trader's market. It's where goods pass through before going to the Light Continent or Wood Continent. We'll even give you a ride to get you there faster."
The Warriors took up Magna Angemon's offer of a ride. The Warriors were transported by a cargo helicopter to a helipad on the outskirts of the Summer Sun Fair. The Fair was a sandy bazaar constructed in true Arabian style. The buildings were coated by a layer of white plaster and the towers had brass tops like candy kisses that further emphasized the Arabian flavour of the town. Many tents had been erected by the local Digimon merchants, who were largely desert dwelling creatures.
The Warriors were rushed into the town hall, which was the headquarters of the Bestial Nations' army. It was more like a magnificent palace straight from the Arabian Nights rather than a town hall. It had towers with brass tops like that of a chocolate kiss. The interior was filled with memorabilia commemorating the milestones that the Summer Sun Fair had went through, from its inception to world events.
The Warriors entered the leader's office and were greeted by the sight of a Digimon much like a dragon or dinosaur. He had sharp horns on his nose and a pair on his head, as well as sharp claws on his fingers and toes. His body was mostly white, but had a blue backside and a blue "V" marking on his chest. He had wings that seemed to have been torn, as though he had been in a severe fight. He was Aero Veedramon, the leader of the Bestial Nations strike force.
-Digimon Analyzer-
Name: Aero Veedramon
Attributes: Vaccine, Ultimate Level, Flying/Dragon type
This air element Digimon is a natural borne flier who's at home in the skies. As a dragon, he is a ferocious enemy who fights with tooth and claw and the power of air.
Special Abilities/Traits:
Flying
Veewing Blade (None) - Aero Veedramon can focus his power and fire a V-shaped beam of energy from his chest.
Magnum Crush (Flying) - Aero Veedramon can exhale a blast of wind pressure which strikes its victim with intense force. It makes a sound like a gunshot when used.
"Legendary Warriors, what brings you here?" asked the Aero Veedramon.
"We came here to ask you to stop attacking the Human types on the Earth Continent," requested May.
"Absolutely not!" replied the Aero Veedramon abruptly. "Those Human-types have killed many of my friends and family. I can not forgive what they have done!"
"You'd still fight them even after knowing this whole war was lie?" asked Shinya. "The Human-types did not attack you. It was the Demon Lords! You're doing exactly what they want you to do; keep fighting each other!"
"You have people from the Real World attacking you too!" objected Misty. "Do you honestly think you can defeat them unless the Human-types help you?"
"We Beast-types do not need Human-types to fight our battles. Now leave, before I have the guards escort you out!" threatened Aero Veedramon.
"Fine, have it your way," said Shinya in disgust. Having no luck with the Beast-types, the Warriors left to bring the bad news to Magna Angemon.
"So he refused?" asked Magna Angemon. "I'm not surprised. Old hatreds don't die easily..."
"Now what do we do? We can't leave the Human-types here to die!" said May.
"Maybe we can send them to Cherubimon?" asked Max.
"Good idea, but how will we move all these Digimon?" asked May.
"How about the wizards that I met during my Spirit Quest?" asked Max. "I think they can open a gate large enough to let them through."
"Good idea," agreed Koichi. "Magna Angemon, how would you feel if you went to Cherubimon?"
"Since he no longer leads the Beast-types, I'm alright with that," said the angelic Human-type leader.
"Great!" commented Koichi. "How quickly can you move your troops to the Rose Morning Star."
"It will take a few hours. We have a lot of equipment and troops to move. Some of them will have to stay behind to defend those who are retreating."
"Okay, we'll help defend you, right guys?" asked Koichi.
Cherubimon's Warriors agreed with an enthusiastic cheer. Koichi called up Cherubimon and had Ancient Wisemon's wizard team prepare the portal spell as the Human-types began their preparations. The Digimon loaded their equipment into trucks and parked them in the middle of Cactus Town to wait for further instructions. In the sky Reichmon and Demi Wisemon flew above the troops and scanned them.
"Okay, everybody is here," commented the Warrior of Darkness.
In the distance, a gargantuan ovular doorway materialized in the distance. It was like a halo of white light surrounding an image of the Rose Morning Star. The trucks drove into the portal in single file as their comrades kept an eye out for any attacks by either the Beast-types or the Americans. For the first hour, nothing of interest happened. Once that time was up, it seemed that fate decided to spice things up.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" cried a Digimon's voice over the airwaves.
In the distant sky, Cherubimon's Warriors could see the Human-types fighting with America's army. A squad of Angemon began a fierce dogfight with the USA's ace pilots flying fighter planes. One of these planes unloaded a barrage of machinegun ammo at one of the pesky angels. The Angemon banked to the side in evasion of the bullets and returned the favour with a Hand of Fate attack. The golden beam of holy energy missed its target, streaking past the jet harmlessly.
"Looks like the fun's started!" chimed Shinya.
Indeed, the battle had begun. The land-based Digimon advanced and clashed with America's army. A horde of Digimon tanks escorted by Knightmon charged at the advancing American tanks with their guns blazing and Berserk Swords drawn. The Americans pelted the Digimon hard with shells, knocking several of them onto the ground. The tanks retaliated with the glow of blue energy shots.
Several shells hit the Knightmon escort, who were momentarily staggered by the hits. As Ultimates, they were far more resilient and powerful than the Champions and Rookies the Americans were used to fighting. The Digimon frontline held up against the American attack as aerial Digimon kept the planes preoccupied. However, while the Digimon ground forces were held at bay, the air forces were losing. The Angemon were outmatched by the faster American fighter planes, who eventually gained the upper hand.
An F-15 swooped around in the air and prepared an attack run on the Human-types' armoured division. The ace pilot lined up his enemies in his sights and unleashed a bomb into their ranks. The explosion caught the Knightmon by surprise and sent several of their numbers hurtling into the air to land with the loud clanging of metal. The tanks were ruptured by the powerful blast, instantly killing whoever was inside. The Americans cheered as they saw that their way had been cleared.
Having passed the first line of defence, the Human-types' second line and final line of defence sprang into action. The two sides clashed just kilometres outside of the city limits, lighting the land and the sky with fire and fury. Back within the city, the Human-type retreat was well under way. The bulk of the Human-type forces had taken refuge in the safety of the Dark Continent and Cherubimon's Rose Morning Star.
"How many left?" asked Koichi, who had evolved into Reichmon as a precaution.
"Not many now," replied Magna Angemon as he watched the Digimon and vehicles enter the portal. "...But our last line is beginning to buckle under the American attack!"
"Don't worry, we've got it covered!" chimed Demi Wisemon.
Cherubimon's Warriors advanced to the location where the fighting was heaviest with the intent of wrecking some havoc among the American forces. Maridmon seeped out of the ground as a puddle of water and reformed herself behind the line of tanks. Only realizing that after the fact, it was too late for the Americans to stop her. The Warrior of Water blasted the tanks open with several jets of pressurized water. Other units turned their crosshairs onto her only to see her seep through their shots as a mass of water.
At that moment, Demi Wisemon materialized from his teleport. The Americans were unaware of his presence until he telekinetically slammed one of the tanks into another. The one-eyed wizard fired an Evil Eye beam which punched a massive hole clean through the third. Demi Wisemon had finally drawn American attention in the form of a barrage of shells. The Warrior of Metal stopped the shells mid flight within a glowing green Eldritch Pentacle. With a mere exertion of his power, the shells turned against their masters.
"Okay Warriors, everyone is gone, you are the only ones left. Get a move on!" summoned Magna Angemon telepathically.
"Awesome!" remarked the Warrior of Wood.
Diamon took several bullets to the face but recovered seconds later. "Man, there's so many of them. I'm glad we're done here," he commented as he gunned a jet plane down with a round of Jewel Vulcan fire.
"Let's go, I don't want to be here any longer!" agreed Dryamon.
Dryamon blanketed the battlefield with a great cloud of Eucalyptus Gas. One of the American humvees accidentally drove into the cloud and the gas immediately worked its magic. The soldiers began rubbing their face and bodies as the gas severely inflamed their skin. The driver lost control of his humvee and crashed through the side wall of a bank. A second humvee attempted to brake but skid into the gas and eventually crashed into the facade of Sorcramon's saloon.
Dryamon entered the portal with Diamon lumbering right behind her. Next came Maridmon, who shot herself through like a jet of water from a hose. The fourth was Demi Wisemon who flew in like a speeding comet. The last was Reichmon, who swooped in from the sky with an F-15 hot on his tail. Even as he entered the Dark Continent, the F-15 continued to pursue Reichmon like a rabid dog. This F-15 was followed by half a dozen American ground vehicles.
"Close the portal!" cried Demi Wisemon to his wizard team.
On his word, the wizards cut off the magic that sustained the portal. On the Cactus Town side, an American tank just missed the portal, causing the driver to wonder what had happened. On the Rose Morning Star side, Reichmon continued to evade his pursuer. The dark Warrior made a hard turn upwards with the pilot following with his eyes. The pilot's attention snapped back to the front only to see the Rose Morning Star's spire coming rapidly towards him!
"Oh shit!" cursed the pilot as he attempted to pull up hard, but unable to stop his advance.
The F-15 smashed into the Rose Morning Star in a massive fireball that made nary a scratch on the fortified spire. The pilot waited a few moments only to find that he was still alive. He opened his eyes to find him being dragged through the air by a black hand. He followed that hand to the face of Reichmon, who had yanked him out of the cockpit at the very last moment. The pilot breathed a sigh of relief that he had survived his plane crash.
Meanwhile, the Americans had captured Cactus Town after the retreat of the remaining Lawkeeper forces. "Sir, we have captured the town. All enemies have either fled or been neutralized," reported an American soldier over his radio.
"Great work colonel, secure the area," ordered the leader through the radio.
The Real World army began to reinforce Cactus Town for use as a permanent military base. With the Digimon having abandoned the town, the army was free to use it as it pleased. Metres upon of metres of chain-link fences went up to block outsiders from entry. At the top was a long coil of barbed wire to ensure no one could climb over and into the town. At various strategic points, the Americans and their foreign allies had erected towers loaded with spot lights and armed guards. Cactus town had turned from a quaint Western town into a fortress.
It wasn't long before the American forces moved on to bigger things. Several days later, night had fallen on the sandy Earth Continent. A pitch black plane soared through the air, spying on the sleeping Summer Sun Fair. The Beast-type army was patrolling the town, on the lookout for any possible Lawkeeper attacks. Unknown to them, the jet black plane began to take pictures of the fair as well as the location of the Bestial Nations' guard posts.
A few nights had passed before the fireworks began. A deafening boom woke the city from its peaceful slumber. The sound of an alarm klaxon blared, jarring a local trader into awareness. This trader, a tall yellow teddy bear Digimon known as a Monzaemon, rushed to his window. He found a familiar store several blocks away up in flames. Several bolts of elemental energy streaked through the sky as the Bestial Nations fired on the American bombers flying overhead. A high pitched screech pierced the sky before a department store burst into flame.
At that moment, the non-combatant Digimon began to flee the town. A family of the plant-like Veggiemon fled their home screaming in terror alongside other like-minded Digimon. A bomb descended on the street which unleashed a massive burst of flame into the air. The fires consumed the less fortunate Digimon behind and threw others into the air in a massive shockwave. The fighting didn't last long until the Americans crushed the Bestial Nations forces of the Summer Sun Fair. They were no match for America's army.
While some of the Warriors were away tending to other matters in the Digital World, the Pokemon trainers had their own work to do. They met with Sorcerymon and Nefertimon in a camp in the outskirts of Iron Town. Outside, several Digimon militia fighters milled about in preparation for battle. From watching troop movements, Iron Town's defence forces knew that the American Coalition would be attacking the Metal Continent from the western sea. They had to hurry to mount a sufficient defence.
"Trainers, here's the situation," began Sorcerymon. "The Real Worlders are moving the USS Reagan's fleet to the north-west of our location to shell the town. They will be complementing this with a troop landing in the north. In order to reach us, the enemy must pass through the mountainous region to the north-east of here. We are going to set up an ambush there and eliminate the tanks."
"What about the fleet?" asked Brock. "I heard that battleships had cannons with a very long range."
"That's right," said Nefertimon. "We know they'll try to take advantage of that. We managed to get the Warrior of Water to lead a contingent of marine Digimon to attack the ships."
"Trainers, you will be helping our forces attack the tanks," announced Sorcerymon. "They'll supply you with weapons if you need them. We don't care how you stop the troops as long as you can stop them."
"Okay Sorcerymon, you can count on us!" said Ash.
"Pika! (That's right!)" chimed Pikachu.
The trainers found three dog-like dragon Digimon waiting for them outside of their tent. These creatures had blue scaly skin and a white underside. However, most of their bodies were encased in black metal armour. They also wore black face masks. The beasts had spikes near the neck shaped like lightning bolt as a large horn with a similar shape. Ash scanned these Digimon to find them to be Raidramon.
-Digimon Analyzer-
Name: Raidramon
Attributes: Vaccine, Armour Level, Electric/Dragon Type
These Digimon are actually dragons despite looking like a wolf or dog. They are fierce fighters but are very loyal once befriended.
Special Abilities/Traits:
None
Thunder Blast (Electric) - Raidramon is capable of projecting powerful electrical blasts from the lightning bolt-shaped horn on his helmet.
Electric Bite (Electric) - Raidramon can channel an electrical current into an opponent's flesh while biting him.
The trainers mounted the Raidramon, who immediately charged away from the camp. The wolf-like dragons ran with immense speed that startled the trainers at first. The lush green countryside of the Metal Continent seemed to race by. A range of mountains grew larger as the trainers approached it. The Raidramon dropped the trainers off at the entrance to a network of caves and tunnels.
A Hagurumon emerged from the cave. "Ah, you must the trainers that Sorcerymon told us about!"
"Yep, we're here to help," said Ash.
"Wonderful! Come in!"
The trainers followed Hagurumon through the network of caves and tunnels under the mountains. They seemed long and convoluted with several entrances to other parts of the mountain range. While some of the caverns looked natural, others seemed to have been dug out fairly recently. Several Digimon passed through the caves, as well as a few humans from Steel Town who were members of militias.
"Everyone's getting ready to attack the tanks," remarked Brock.
"Yeah," said Hagurumon. The trainers reached a pass surrounded by mountains. "A column of tanks will come through the pass at the bottom. We'll be firing at them from caves like the one we're in."
Brock looked at the pass below. "This is a nice place to set up an ambush. I certainly don't want to walk down that pathway at the bottom."
"Yeah," said Hagurumon. "We're going to blow up a tank then run away before they can fight back. We've have some spare RPG launchers prepared for your use if you need them. They're easy to use. Just put the crosshairs at the target and pull the trigger; simple as that! You can use your Pokemon as well to help you."
Hagurumon led the group to a weapons cache and taught them how to hold the launchers. Ash tried to hold a launcher, but found it too heavy for him to wield. "I think I'd better go with Pikachu and his Thunder."
"Suit yourself," said Hagurumon. "...But at least should take some binoculars though. You'll find them helpful for seeing the enemy."
"Sure," said Ash as he took a pair and put it around his neck.
"Come to think of it, this is even better," remarked Hagurumon. "A lightning strike would not arouse any suspicion. It's not like they can shoot at the sky..."
"Now that you mention it, I think I'll pass too," said Brendan. "I want to go with my Alakazam's Psychic powers. His confusion can flip a tank upside down. Once it's off its treads, it's pretty much useless."
"Hey, great idea!" commented Hagurumon. "That will leave the tank intact. We can then steal it and use it ourselves."
"Hmm, I guess I'll take one," said Brock. "Machamp could make use of one too. I don't think my other Pokemon would work well in this situation." Brock released Machamp and taught him how to use the RPG launcher.
"Good, I'm glad we had it all planned out. Okay guys, let's get into position. The tanks will coming very shortly," said Hagurumon.
The trainers took various positions around the pass. Ash had the honour of destroying the first tank, which was an important task. He was to target the last tank in the column to disable it and prevent the others from fleeing the pass below. Brendan and Alakazam were to make the next move and knock out the first tank to interrupt the enemy's advance. Brock, Machamp, and other guerrillas were going to target the tanks in the middle.
Within a few minutes time, Ash spotted several tanks entering the mountainous pass. "Ash can you here me?" asked Hagurumon over the radio.
"Yeah, I'm here," replied Ash.
"Good," said Hagurumon. "Get ready. Once you knock out that last tank, we'll start shooting. Good luck!"
Ash watched as the tank in the convoy's rear entered the valley. He let Pikachu take a look at the tank. "Okay Pikachu, use Thunder on that tank!"
"Pika Chu!" called the electric mouse.
The skies darkened rapidly as clouds formed overhead. A bolt of lighting descended onto the tank and danced about on the surface of its armour. The massive electrical overload wiped out its electronics, and ignited the fuel tank. The flames burst out of the rear as the tank fell to a complete stop. At that moment, Alakazam emerged surrounded the lead tank with blue psionic glow. It flipped into the air like a coin and landed on its side with its length strewn across the pass. The beleaguered crew opened the hatches and crawled out.
Machamp peeped out of a cave and pulled the trigger of his RPG launcher and the rocket swished out of the barrel with a trail of smoke. It caused the tank to shudder as it exploded, releasing a burst of plasma which melted the tank. Brock pulled his own trigger, sending a rocket soaring into a helpless tank. Other militia members did the same, destroying more than half a dozen tanks within the span of a few minutes.
At that point, the army knew they had been ambushed. "Return fire!" cried the convoy leader into the radio. The tanks unleashed a barrage of ammunition into the mountains, but were actually firing wildly without knowledge of their attackers' true location.
Brock had fled into the tunnels long before the shells came to the entrance of his cave. "Phew, that was close!"
Ash called a second Thunder strike which Pikachu landed on the second last tank in the convoy. Unlike the others, Pikachu's lightning bolts came directly from overhead which did not telegraph his location. The tanks largely left Ash and his pal alone. However, the future Pokemon master could see several shells and bullets streaking into the other nearby caves. It was a scary sight to behold and he was glad he wasn't seeing it up close and personally. Ash called a third Thunder strike which immobilized the third last tank of the convoy.
By now, the convoy had been thinned out considerably. The torrent of shells slowed down into a mere trickle as each tank was eliminated expediently. An RPG slammed into a tank with a great explosion and melted under the intense heat of plasma. Pikachu blasted the second last survivor with Thunder, rendering it immobile and harmless. Alakazam flipped the last over the last of the convoy, causing it to crash onto the ground in front of the first tank. The crew fled through the hatches, only to bump into the waiting arms of approaching Digimon and human guerrillas.
"Well done trainers!" commented Hagurumon.
"Yep, no problem at all. Just doing our part..." said Ash with a hint of cockiness about him.
Unknown the trainers or the Digimon militias, a group of women had appeared after teleporting onto the top of the pass. They were the most beautiful women any man could ever see and totally unashamed being in the nude. They had smooth, satiny skin with a hint of coffee in their skin colour. Unlike most women, they had a pair of demonic wings growing out of their backs and claw-like nails on their fingers. The sexy women kept a low profile as they watched the trainers below.
From the sea, the fleet of the USS Reagan shelled Iron Town with impunity. Their massive cannons expelled their shells with a massive boom sound. The water seemed to form a spherical crater as a shell flew out of the muzzle. It landed onto the harbour area of the town, flattening a foundry in a deafening explosion. The ships continued to pound the harbour area and the smouldering ruins blew up thick clouds of black smoke.
The fleet's arrogance was about to shattered as Maridmon led a swarm of marine Digimon to the fleet. They cut through the dark depths of the ocean and eventually encountered the cruisers of the fleet. The Seadramon closed in on the fleet and prepared to the attack. Like their relatives, the Mega Seadramon, Seadramon were sea serpents. However, they were blue in colour, and the previous evolutionary form of the Mega Seadramon.
A Seadramon sprayed a shard of ice into a cruiser's hull, ripping a gaping hole into its underside. The crew desperately rushed to the life boats to abandon their sinking ship. While the Champion level Digimon kept the cruisers preoccupied, Maridmon led the Ultimates into a beeline for the bigger targets like the battleships. A Mega Seadramon rammed into one of the battleships, causing it to shudder and knock the crew onto their backs.
Maridmon waved her trident, causing a massive tidal wave to rise from the water and crash onto the deck of a destroyer. The sheer force of the wave threw several of its crew members into the sea. An Octomon, the Digital World's version of an octopus, clasped the USS Reagan with its tentacles and began to climb up. Its counterpart, the squid-like Gesomon, did the same to the other side. The two marine Digimon pulled themselves onto the deck and began to search for a way under.
Several officers ran onto the deck and fired assault rifles at the Digimon. Gesomon shuddered in pain but continued to advance, eventually tying up several of the crew with his tentacles. Octomon sprayed blobs of black ink with a blow-dryer-like weapon into the faces of the other crew members. The men and women stopped firing to get the irritating ink of out their eyes. In doing so, they had unwittingly slipped on puddles of splattered ink on the ground. One of the men slid off the edge and fell into the sea while another managed to catch the edge with his hand.
Maridmon launched a tidal wave which flushed the crew off the deck of a battleship. She turned into a water pillar which dumped itself onto the deck. Materializing herself and then her trident, she thrust it into a gun turret, rendering it useless. The crew ran out and attempted to shoot her. Maridmon transformed into a mass of water, which allowed the bullets to pass through her body harmlessly. She blew a jet of water which pushed a sailor off of the starboard edge. She hosed the others down, knocking them onto their backs.
An Octomon jumped onto the ship began to toss the remaining crew members into the ocean. Maridmon liquidized her body and sank below deck through a ventilation shaft. She materialized with a walkway and began to sweep through the ship. A sailor attempted to shoot her but she deflected the shot with her Vortex Trident. She fired a bolt of highly pressurized water which her assailant like a powerful haymaker. Maridmon continued her advance through the ship eventually eliminating all of the crew.
Within minutes, it became clear that the Digimon had the American Coalition beat. More and more marine Digimon began to scale the ships in boarding attempts. The navy was overrun in a matter of moments. The marine Digimon wiped out the crew and imprisoned those that survived the boarding attack. In the control room a Divermon, a fish-like bipedal Digimon in scuba gear, planted a device onto the USS Reagan's controls. After punching in commands, the USS Reagan began to sail back to Iron Town's port.
As the Americans made their attack on the Summer Sun Fair, others made reconnaissance missions over the remaining regions of the Digital World. A jet black spy plane soared over the darkened seas from the east of the Dark Continent. Its camera clicked as it took several infrared and night vision photographs of the land. Unexpectedly, a bolt of lightning jumped from the clouds and incinerated the plane. Though they were far away, one could just imagine the vitriolic cursing of the operators.
Elsewhere, a similar spy plane snapped photos of the night landscape of the Wind Continent at the Digital World's centre. As the plane flew over the land, it eventually came upon a lone tree situated oddly in the middle of the plains. The tree was much larger than any other that the operators had ever seen. They had a gut feeling that this was an important location and so began to snap many photos of this place.
The tree seemed to be well decorated from its appearance. Though not noticeable within night vision, the tree was very colourful like that of a nursery. There were several bushes surrounded the tree, each with several eggs growing on them like fruit. As the camera zoomed in, the eggs looked very much like Easter eggs with the zigzags and other exotic designs on them. A swan Digimon walked over from her home in the tree to pick up one of the eggs and bring it back home. The spy plane made several passes to snap pictures before flying back to base.
