Lauren and Jenny were completely surrounded by Woodmon. Jenny burst into tears yet again. Lauren and Falcomon were trying to console her. Lauren turned to Salamon. "Salamon," she said to her digiomon partner, "We have to protect Jenny. Is there anything you can do?"
Salamon looked at all the Woodmon around her. "Alright," she slowly said,"we are just travlers passing through. We don't want any trouble." One Woodmon stepped forward. "He said you were coming. We must take you to Him." The Woodmon began inching towards the small group of four. "Salamon, help!"
"Salamon, digivolve to... Gatomon! Lightning paw!" Gatomons attack took out several Woodmon. They all stopped walking and stared at her. Suddenly, they were all very angry. "They cannot harm the chosen guardians of the forest! Take them to the beast!" Came a voice from the crowd of Woodmon. They all began running towards them. "Lightning paw!" "Falco rush!" Falcomon and Gatomon did everything they could but there were just too many Woodmon. They were all beaten unconscious and carried away.
----------------------------------------------------------
Lauren awoke tho find herself and her friends in a wooden cage. The cage was surrounded by hundreds of Woodmon. Lauren shook her friends awake, one by one. "Let us out of here!" They screamed. "Silence!" replied one Woodmon. "He has commanded that you will be fed to the beast. We will be rewarded!" Before the kids could protest, several Woodmon lifted the cage and began carrying it away. After several minutes, Lauren saw that they were being carried to a much larger cage, big enough to have several trees inside of it. After a little bit of a struggle, they were thrown into the larger cage.
The Woodmon began to chant, "Beast. beast, beast!" A rustling was heard from the bushes. suddenly, a huge Blossomon came out of the bushes. This time, even Lauren could not control herself. She began sobboing uncontrolably as well. Blossomon began walking towards them. Jenny looked up through her tears. Lauren was crying, Gatomon was trying to calm her down, and a huge flower with sharp teeth was moving towards them. she wiped her face. "Falcomon, we have to do something." "Say no more," Falcomon said. "Falcomon, digivolve to... Diatrymon"
Blossomon stopped her advance. "Destruction roar!" Diatrymon screached, and sent a supersonic roar at Blossomon. Blossomon was hit directly and fell back several steps. "What are you doing!" Blossomon yelled. "What?" Lauren stopped crying and asked. "Are we going to sit around trying to kill each other or are you going to help me get out of here?" Blossomon demanded. "Oh, I didn't realize... we thought that..." Diatrymon could not find words. "On the count of three then?" Blossomon said to Gatomon. "One, two, three! Thorn whip!" "Lightning Paw!" Together, the caused a huge dent in the cage wall. "It's all yours," Blossomon said to Diatrymon. "Alright. Mega dash impact." Diatrymon tackled the wall with all her might. It broke open.
"Uh oh." Said a Woodmon. Blossomon attacked immeadiately. "Spiral flower!" She cleared a path through the Woodmon and ran straight into the woods. "Oh, that's nice," said Gatomon, "Don't worry about us. Lightning paw!" "Destruction roar!" Woodmon were being destroyed left and right. But then, dozens of them began piling up on each other. No matter how many they destroyed, the pile just kept getting bigger. They began to glow brightly. And then, hundreds of voices said in unison, "Woodmon digivolve to..." the many Woodmon began to combine into one form. "Cherrymon!"
"Lightning paw!" "Destruction roar!" Cherrymon was not even phased. "Prepare to be destroyed, just as He commanded. Cherry bomb!"
"Light aurora barrier!" Came a voice from behind a tree. Cherrymon's attack was stoped. Magnamon stepped out from behind the tree. He appeared very weak but still had a determined look on his face. "Step away from the digidestined, corrupted one." "Never!" "Then, take this! Magna blaster!" He stood up straight and began firing bullets at Cherrymon. Cherrymon took several direct hits. "That's it, I'm outa here!" Cherrymon fled into the woods. Magnamon collapsed on the ground. As soon as the coast was clear, several digimon, including Blossomon, ran out to help Magnamon to his feet. They carried him away and motioned to Lauren and Jenny for thekm to follow. Diatrymon turned back into Falcomon for a well deserved rest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There was a huge hideout in the middle of the forest. Magnamon was lying in a bed while explaining the situation to the girls. "I'm Magnamon, one of the royal knights. It's our job to uphold the law in the digital world. A few days ago, we were attacked. We were taken by suprise in our own fortress. Most of my comrades were captured, but a few of us escaped. I was seriously injured but got away. You digidestined are now our only hope. I have made it my job to protect the digimon of this forest, but I will travel with you to help you find your friends and defeat this evil. And any of the digimon who want to go with us are welcome as well. What do you say?" "How can we refuse an offer like that?" Lauren responded. "Thank you."
As they prepared to leave, they had no idea that at that exact moment, the other digidestined were talking about them. They had crossed the desert and were now blocked by a mountan range. And as they climbed, they had no idea that they were being watched...
