Ice King
"Are we there yet?"
Bridgit tried to ignore Rhenna's pleadings for a rest stop, but eventually could not resist telling her, "Look, just be glad you get to ride on the giant leaf of yours. Bobby and I are walking. You should try it sometime."
It was true. Tan and Rhen were riding on a leaf of Rhenna's vine, while the twins were riding together on a large boulder which John waslevitating with his own abilities. And it was true that Bridgit and Bobby were walking, the former very annoyed about the subject.
Bobby, however, was still examining his new amethyst. "I wonder what this thing can do," he muttered. "I wonder if it has some sort of ability to speed up our trip."
Out of nowhere, the amethyst began to shimmer and the ground suddenly became frozen over with a layer of ice. Bridgit immediately slipped, landing directly on her posterior, as did Spikecornmon. "Ouch," Bridgit said, rubbing her sore spot quite annoyed.
Bobby, however, wasn't slipping even as he walked on the ice over to Bridgit to lend her a hand. "I guess that's what this can do," he noted, and then said, "Perhaps this could be a solution to our walking problem."
He walked over to a nearby, and very convenient, dead tree and pulled off a large layer of bark. Splitting it in half and tossing half to Bridgit, he said, "Do you think this might make a good sled?"
A few minutes later, the two of them (along with their digimon – Butterstarmon was still on Bobby's head, and Spikecornmon was lying flat on Bridgit's back) were sledding after the rest of their friends, who had not noticed their missing comrades. As the slid toward the library, Bridgit wondered, "Hey Bobby, how come you were able to walk on the ice without slipping?"
"I like to go skating in the winter with my siblings," Bobby excused, "and I've become very good at balancing."
When they finally got to the field of flowers outside of Nefertimon's library, the other four were already there, Tan tapping his foot impatiently. "Where were you two?" he asked, his voice slightly risen.
Bridgit did not change her temperament as she stated plainly, "We were walking, at least until Bobby froze the ground and found some sleds for us. Walking is quite fun. You should seriously try it sometime."
Tan sighed. "Never mind. Let's just go inside before something else happens."
Just then, the ground shook and the sky clouded over. Something flew over the library and landed between our heroes and the building. That something was a large dark-brown half-demon half-bat like thing. Its arms were wrapped in some sort of black wrapping, and there were strange rings around its arms.

InversiDevimon
Level: Champion
Abilities: Shadow Slash, Evil Discus
.--.
"So," the creature said in a dark voice. (A/N: What did you expect? Something like the chipmunks? Actually, that would be quite funny…) "You've retrievedthe six gems. How very clever of you. But this is as far as you will go, for I am about to destroy you as my servants were unable to."
Bridgit stepped forward. "So, you were the dark one that Doggymon and Ihtaymon let slip about. What's the big idea, trying to take over the world and junk?"
InversiDevimon smiled and stated, "You goodie-goodies will never understand." He then raised his arm and brought it down quickly, shouting, "Shadow Slash!" The kids and their partners jumped out of the way just in time, but a shockwave shook the ground causing all of them to fall down – that is, all of them except for the digimon who could fly and Bobby.
"Talk later, digivolve now?" Tan asked rhetorically, and everyone nodded. Well, except for Bobby and Butterstarmon, who ran a few paces towards the forest.
"Raptomon digivolve to… Goyledramon!"
"Spikecornmon digivolve to… "Pegacornmon!"
"Bunimon digivolve to… Lapamon!"
"Canismon digivolve to… Lupemon!"
"Dewmon digivolve to… WildFloramon!"
The five champions stood there, ready for battle, their partners by their sides. Except for Bridgit, but that's because she leapt onto Pegacornmon's back. Bobby and Butterstarmon stood in the back, ready to fight but not quite ready to really fight.
Tan cried, "Attack!" and the digimon and their partners each released their moves on InversiDevimon. Tan let loose a fireball, Bridgit sent a large beam of light, Jennie attacked with a jet of water,John created a largewhirlwind, and Rhenna sent a stream of petals from the flowers in the field. And as for the digimon, Goyledramon used Pyro Tsunami, Pegacornmon used Rainbow Horn, Lapamon used Sapphire Slash – her claws hardened to be as tough as corundum and slashed InversiDevimon – Lupemon used Lupine Aurora, and WildFloramon used Cornsilk Petal Blast.
All of the attacks flew squarely at InversiDevimon, and they would have hit, too, and probably caused critical damage, if the dark creature hadn't raised his arms and sent the many bracelet-like things on them into the sky, where it created a black-hole-ish effect as he cried, "Evil Discus!" The attacks were sucked in by the hole and then shot back at the children, hitting most of them squarely. Except, of course, for Bobby.
The status was somewhat critical now. The five champions dedigivolved and were almost unconscious on the ground. The kids weren't faring much better, and Bridgit especially had been damaged, mostly due to the longer fall that had been involved with her. (A/N: I'm not too good at battle stuffs, am I?)
Bobby ran forward and asked everyone, "Are you alright?" Getting little response, he turned to face InversiDevimon. He then cried, "I don't know who you think you are, but you're not doing that again. In fact, I'm going to make sure you pay for what you've done here!" He then held out his hand, and an icy blast shot from it, coating the creature's wings and freezing them. The amethyst that he held in his other hand began to glow a deep violet, as did his partner.

"Butterstarmon, digivolve to…" the butterfly cried as he grew to around Bobby's height. His body became almost humanoid, although his wings stayed almost the same – except for growing a couple feet wider and taller and changing color. His antennae especially went under drastic changes, becoming an amazing golden crown… "Monarchmon!"
E N D D I G I V O L U T I O N
Where Butterstarmon had stood, there was now almost the twin of Kazemon. (You know, the Legendary Warrior of Wind?) However, there were a few major differences. The first and most obvious was that this digimon was, obviously, male. The second difference was that his wings were a brilliant orange that almost seemed to glow, along with a few markings that penetrated the glow with a soft lilac tone. And the final major difference was the clothing – this new digimon wore a somewhat tight toga-like outfit and instead of a visor, there was a crown of the purest gold atop his head that shone at the top of its tallest peak with a single point of a snowflake. (A/N: See, neoKOSMOS? The descriptions get better!)

Monarchmon
Level: Champion
Abilities: Regal Snowstorm, Whirlwind Blitz
.--.
InversiDevimon took one look at Monarchmon and laughed. "You dare challenge me with a butterfly?"
Monarchmon leapt into the air and began to beat his wings furiously, crying "Whirlwind Blitz" as the gust flew toward the enemy. InversiDevimon raised his arms again and began to send his bracelets into the air again, but Bobby cried, "No you don't!" and sent an icy blast at the evil creature, destroying the rings and allowing his partner's attack to hit full force. InversiDevimon fell to the ground, and his frozen wings shattered to bits.
Monarchmon's crown then began to glow brightly, and then after crying "Regal Snowstorm!" an even larger icy blast than Bobby's was created and sent directly towards InversiDevimon. In the last seconds before it hit, the evil creature stated, "You may have defeated me, but there are others out there. Some of them are as strong as I am, some even stronger. I wonder what you children will do if you run into them." As the icy blast hit, InversiDevimon screamed and became fractal code, which Bobby quickly scanned.
A couple seconds after the code was scanned, the others stirred as Monarchmon dedigivolved. Bridgit was the first to awaken and, after getting up and looking around, ran over to Bobby and said happily, "You did it! You beat InversiDevimon! Great Job, Bobby!"
.----.
When our heroes finally reached the library, Nefertimon was waiting at the entrance. She stated calmly, "I sensed your arrival. Come with me."
They entered the library and climbed the stairs once more to enter the chamber with the pillars. The center one still had the glowing orb atop it, and the two carvings on each pillar were still plain as day. Nefertimon stopped in the center and instructed, "Go to the pillar that you originally took your D-PA from. Then, place your D-PA in its slot, and your gem in the other. When that is done, everything else will go according to plan."
So, the children placed their items in the slots. The six pillars glowed brighter than they had been before their orbs had been removed, and their light joined together to create a powerful beam which slowly began to cover the entire digital world, destroying all evil in its path. And it probably would have worked completely, too. Except for one thing. As soon as the field of light got a certain distance away, some sort of evil force field triggered. Then, that force field defeated the light one and sent a large shockwave through the digital world back to the library, and itattempted to penetrate the circle of pillars. Nefertimon, however, stepped in the way of the shockwave and allowed it to zap her instead, although a little bit still got through, causing a massive explosion.
When the smoke cleared, the children and digimon were okay, but Nefertimon was critically injured and the pillars – except for the center one – had been reduced to rubble – and that's saying nothing about the ceiling, which had been blasted straight through. Our heroes ran over to Nefertimon, who quietly but urgently said, "There's not much time. I thought thatthe six gemswould destroy the evil, but I was wrong. You six will have tofind the othertwo gemsand theirowners, and enlist their help. First, however, I have one more task for you." She moved her head toward the final pillar. "Take the orb from atop that pillar to the Forest Terminal, andbring the egg to Seraphimon for his protection. I am sure that he will also be able to give you good advice for the rest of your fight."
"We'll do that, Nefertimon," Jennie said quietly. From within the rubble of what had previously been the pillars, the six crystals flew towards their owners.
After receiving his crystal again, Tan asked, "What about the D-PAs? Don't we need them too?"
Rhenna questioned, "And what do you mean by finding the two other gems and their owners? You mean that there are two more crystals still out there that could potentially fall into the hands of evil?"
"No, you do not," Nefertimon said quietly. "The D-PA was only there to help you along until you found the gems. Now that they have all been found, the D-PAs are unnecessary. You will find that your gems will fill all of the roles of the D-PAs and more. And as for the other two gems, you will find them when the time is right, unless fate is against us all."
Outside, the sky formed a perfect sunset. Nefertimon saw that and said quickly and with her last ounces of strength, "For tonight, you should go home to your own world. Time in this world and that were synchronized during the second epic battle of the Legendary Warriors and Lucemon. If I am right about your world, your 'parents' will likely get worried if you are not back in time. Return to the cave that you were in when you entered this world and touch the carving in the back – that should activate the portal. Remember, the fate of the digital world is up to you…" She then faded into fractal code and her digiegg flew off to the Village of Beginnings.
.--.
When the kids returned to the cave, the digimon stayed outside. Dewmon excused, "We'll stay here and guard the egg. If anyone in your world were to see us, they would probably freak out. So, it would probably be better if we were to stay here."
"You're right," Rhenna replied, then smiled. "See you tomorrow, then." The children waved, then placed their hands on the carving, which drew them into the human world once again.
.--.
"So," Tan said when the six of them made it back to the human world, "shall we meet here tomorrow morning at around nine?"
"Sure," the others said mostly unanimously.
So, they all began to leave, starting with Tan and Rhenna. Before he left, though, Tan turned to Bridgit and said, "Y'know, I hate to admit it, but it's been kind of fun hanging out with you unpopular kids. Kind of." He then ran to catch up with Rhenna.
Bridgit smiled from the mouth of the cave, thinking 'I guess even popular kids don't have to be total jerks.' She stood there for a couple minutes thinking that.
"Hey, Bridgit! Earth to Bridgit! You coming or what?"
Bridgit looked over towards Bobby, who was standing there, tapping his foot a tiny bit impatiently. "Yeah, I'm coming," she replied, and together the two of them walked home.
What will tomorrow hold for the Mages? Is Tan really not completely a jerk? Find out next chapter!
Author's Note: Sorry for the short wait, but things came up. To reply to the reviews...
charli/AzerathGirl: I'm glad you like it. And I think what I was thinking when I was doing the eggs was the color of the digimon instead of the crystal. (If it was the crystal then Bridgit would have a white egg.)
Various names of Emily (sorry I'm too lazy to put them): Yeah, I know that the details are not quite true. I honestly don't care because as I said, it's a huge exaggeration, and I don't know all of the details, and I don't want to make it completely true to reality. But I'm glad you like it, I can't wait to see you, and please don't kill me because of this!
So anyway,please read, review, don't get too mad if I don't update for a while, and I'll see you later!
