And we're back!
Sorry about the wait for this chapter everyone, Timeless was unavailable for a few days, something which he has told me will be the case again next week.
But anyway, we're now entering the Server Continent!
Etemon, Setting the Stage of Evil!
The morning sun greeted the group as they all awoke from their slumber. "Morning already, huh?" Gyro yawned, before rubbing his back a little. As much as they appreciated Whamon's help...his back was not a very comfortable bed...not that he or any of them were gonna actually SAY that.
"Why didn't we sleep on the boat again?" Pierce asked as he stretched his body outwards and sighed in relief when his back cracked slightly.
"Because we knew we'd be arriving this morning and we're sending the boat back with Whamon." Weiss said as she tried, and failed, to stop a yawn.
"Oh yeah…" Pierce sighed. "Well, at least we left those three trouble makers on the boat. No way they're getting out of there now."
Everyone stopped and gave him a look at his words "Pierce…" was the only thing Veemon sighed out.
"Yeah, I realised it the moment I said it." Pierce said with a groan.
"Let's...just get on land when we get there…" Jaune sighed. He sincerely hoped, even if it was likely in vain, that for once Murphy didn't screw them over. He had a feeling they wouldn't survive having to take care of those three on top of trying to NOT get killed by the next evil Digimon that would no doubt try to kill them.
"We shall be arriving soon," Whamon said, as they could now see the fast approaching land...and it was a LOT of land.
"That's a really big island." Patamon said in awe.
"It's not exactly the same thing." Blake said in a bit of amusement.
"We're probably going to encounter one of those evil Digimon Jijimon warned us about soon." Agumon said with a frown.
"Hopefully we managed to find at least one of the crests before fighting them." Gabumon said in worry.
"Well, if we don't, no need to worry," Gyro said. "There's always the ultimate secret technique," he said, gaining interested looks from everyone...except Pierce, who already knew where this was going.
"What is it?" Salamon asked, Nora also leaning closer.
"Why it should be obvious. When faced with an opponent that could slaughter us easily, and the fate of the world isn't IMMEDIATELY at stake, there's only one thing left to do. Tighten our butts...and run for our lives!" Gyro laughed at the end.
He was not surprised when he witnessed several facefaults at his words.
"THAT'S your brilliant plan?!" Yang all but roared as she was less than pleased at him riling them up only to give them that kind of plan.
"Oh? You have something better then? By all means, share YOUR brilliant plan with the rest of us." Gyro told her dryly, and was met with silence. "Thought so."
"Yeah… I'm with Gyro on this one," Ren admitted, seeing the wisdom in the plan.
"Same here," Wormmon nodded, followed by a few murmurs of agreement from the other Digimon as well.
"Can we take potshots at them at least?" Ruby asked as she held up Crescent Rose.
"By all means, it'll piss them off and be hilarious for us." Gyro said with a grin as Ruby pumped her fist with a small 'Yes!'
Any further conversations were halted when they realized that they had arrived. "This is as far as I can go," Whamon said. "I wish you all the best of luck."
"Thank you very much, Whamon," Pyrrha smiled as one by one they soon got off from his back.
"Thanks again for taking the ship back. It'd probably be better back on File than with us," Blake said.
"And it's a good thing we didn't wake up those troublemakers." Gomamon said with a snicker.
"Their probably still asleep and don't know that they're going back." Palmon said with a laugh.
"Well, we'd better not take too long then," Biyomon nodded.
"I wish you all the best of luck. If you follow this path, you should reach a village of Koromon. They should be able to help you get started on your way," Whamon said, before he soon turned around and was on his way back to File.
"Take care Whamon!" everyone was waving until he was gone from sight.
"Alright, we have a long road up ahead, so let's cover it as best we can." Gyro said with a grin.
"Welp, you're the boss." Nora said with a grin of her own as they all started moving, and reminding everyone of the conversation they had the last day, where Gyro had brought up the issue of who should be the leader.
He had been quickly silenced before he could suggest Jaune and Ruby as everyone said it should be him, even his brother.
At the very least, he was able to make it so that should he not be available, they would look to Ruby and Jaune for guidance.
The trip down the path was rather uneventful, something the group was glad to have...albeit the fact that it was taking a while to even find the village with nothing but rocks around them.
"Okay...I know Whamon said this was supposed to be the path to the Koromon village, but...where is it?" Blake frowned.
"We...really should remember to ask for an estimate of how long a path will take next time," Tentomon sighed as they continued down the path.
Along the way, Agumon took a tentative sniff, and turned to the others. "I smell Koromon. That way," he said, pointing to what appeared to be trees in the distance.
"A forest? Well, that's definitely more reassuring than barren rocks," Pyrrha nodded.
"Let's go then," Palmon smiled, to which they did.
It wasn't too long after that before the village was in sight. However…
"...okay...this isn't what he said would be here…" Weiss frowned, as what met them wasn't a village of Koromon, but a village of Pagumon.
"Not these jerks again," Yang growled, remembering her last encounter with this type of Digimon.
"Easy there, Yang. Not every Digimon of the same species is like all the others," Pierce said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Still though...didn't Whamon say this was supposed to be a Koromon village?" Gyro mused.
"And I DO smell Koromon...but I don't see them…" Agumon frowned.
"You sure?" Patamon asked.
"Positive." Agumon said with a firm nod.
"In that case, let's keep our guard up, Agumon's nose hasn't been wrong so far." Gyro said as they fully stepped into the village, having remained outside to have their conversation.
"Welcome~ Welcome~! To our Pagumon village!" The Pagumon practically sang the moment they saw the newcomers, giving them basically the red carpet treatment.
"Okay...they're...friendly…" Jaune said awkwardly.
"Too friendly, right?" Nora chuckled under her breath, but just enough for the others to hear.
"Yeah, that's about right," Jaune nodded.
"Keep our guards up then?" Salamon chuckled.
"Yep," the other Digimon nodded.
"Hey, do you guys know where the Koromon village is? We could have sworn it was over here." Pierce said, playing the part of a clueless person, the others quickly catching on… but the Pagumon didn't.
"Ah, they, uh, moved out!" one of them said nervously.
"Y-yeah! A few years ago, so, we decided to take the houses they left behind." another one agreed, sweating a bit.
"Is that so?" Ruby pressed, making them sweat a bit, before… "Boy, you all are lucky," she said cheerfully, making them breath a sigh of relief at having successfully fooled these suckers. Little did they know that when the group was out of sight, Gyro and Ruby did a fist bump.
"...this stuff isn't another illusion, right?" Veemon said cautiously as he eyed the fruit laid out for them. It seems the Pagumon were laying it on extra thick by treating them to a feast...while singing about how their village was a village of happiness.
"One way to find out I guess," Wormmon said, before taking a bite. "...seems real enough to me."
"Isn't that what we all thought about the food Devimon left out though?" Gabumon said as he eyed an apple suspiciously.
"Yeah, but I'm putting some of it in my pouch, and it's all still there, so I think we're good this time." Pierce said as the Pagumon had 'graciously' allowed them to restock on supplies.
"Glad to hear that," Patamon smiled as he ate a bowl of grapes.
"Still, I gotta admit, I always thought Pagumon were rascals. Guess I was wrong," Gomamon said, winking a bit at Gabumon.
"Guess that just shows you shouldn't believe everything you hear." Biyomon added, faking a cough to hide a laugh.
"Yeah, that's right," the Pagumon nodded as they gave them more food.
"Guess Pagumon are actually really nice Digimon," Veemon chuckled.
"And they make good food too," Wormmon added, figuring a bit of truth would make the act all the more believable.
"Thanks for the compliment," more Pagumon smiled.
Once the meal was done and the sun had set, the group were asleep...or so it seems. Once the Pagumon were sure they were asleep, they left the hall quietly. What they didn't notice was Salamon opening one eye, then in a move that could easily have been sleep movement, nudged Patamon, who in turn nudged Tentomon, and so on. Once the group was sure their 'gracious hosts' were gone, they all had to fight to suppress some snickers at how well that went. It was time to get to the bottom of things.
"So, what should we do about them?" one of the Pagumon asked as they bounced out of the village.
"I say we lock them in the cages," another suggested.
"No, we should rob them blind," another smirked.
"Rob them blind AND stick them in cages," another laughed.
"Hey, what are you lot blabbering about?!" came a new voice.
"Ah! Gazimon!" the Pagumon all said in surprise, turning to see three Gazimon looking at them.
"Seriously though, what are you talking about?" one of the three Gazimon asked with a raised eyebrow.
"The Chosen Children are here!" one of the Pagumon said with a grin.
"Seriously? Wow, guess they got here a little early." the first Gazimon said, blinking.
"Did they actually fall for your act?" the last Gazimon asked with a snicker.
"Hook, line and sinker." the leader Pagumon said with a laugh.
"What a bunch of idiots." the second Gazimon laughed.
"Well then, keep them in the village. In the meantime, I'll inform Lord Etemon of their arrival," the first Gazimon said, before running off into the distance.
"Roger~!" the Pagumon all said, before getting devilish smirks. Unfortunately for them...they weren't as private as they'd have liked.
"Called it," Gyro said as he and Agumon were watching from a nearby tree.
"And I don't need to think too hard about what happened to the Koromon. I can smell them. They're nearby," Agumon said.
"Yeah, but for now we gotta go back. Can't let these little bastards know we're on to them just yet," Gyro nodded.
"Right," Agumon said, before both of them quickly made their way back to the village, Gyro sending a quick text using his scroll to tell the others to get back to the hall.
At the same time, the Gazimon that had been running actually kept going on for several hours, the sun eventually rising as he reached his destination, already hearing the music in the distance.
Quickly enough, a trailer came into view, being pulled forward by a Monochromon, and the music was even louder as the side of the trailer slowly opened. From the trailer smoke came out as the sound of guitar solo was heard. "Yeah yeah!" came a voice from within the smoke, revealing what appeared to be a monkey-like Digimon, though it was hard to tell what he was exactly due to the fact his body seemed to be some kind of suit. He had a pair of sunglasses on, and what appeared to be a Monzaemon doll at his hip. "Who's the strongest in the world?" he smirked. "That would be me, the great Etemon!"
Digimon Analyzer: Etemon
Etemon. Virus Type. A Perfect Level Puppet Digimon. The self proclaimed King of Digimon, Etemon is a surprisingly powerful opponent, contrary to what his appearance would have you believe. A musician at heart, Etemon is nonetheless a smart enemy and combines his love of music with his love of fighting. His special attacks are Love Serenade, which weakens Digimon of a lower level and can even cancel evolution in some cases, and Dark Spirits, launching an orb of energy that consumes the data of whatever it touches.
"All hail Etemon! The king of Digimon!" the Gazimon called with a grin...and got a knock on the head for his trouble.
"Quiet! You're way too loud for this early in the morning!" Etemon scolded.
"Shouldn't you follow your own advice?" Gazimon muttered as he rubbed his head, thankfully Etemon either didn't hear him, or chose to ignore it.
"Now then, the plan is almost ready, I'm going to catch those Chosen Children when they get here later today, and I don't want your stupidly loud voice alerting them from where they are on the ocean." Etemon said with a grin as he looked at a digital map that was on the wall of his trailer.
"Uh, sir? That's an outdated transmission." Gazimon pointed out.
Etemon's grin fell as he heard that "Say what?"
"The children arrived at the village we stole from those Koromon yesterday." Gazimon added.
"SAY WHAT?!" Etemon shouted this time, before slamming a hand on his computer, the image updating with the latest transmission, showing that the group had indeed landed further down south the previous day "Stupid computer! These things should beep when they update!"
"Uh, sir? They actually do… I think you may have muted it… by accident of course." Gazimon said, adding the last part when Etemon turned to him and he could feel the glare behind those sunglasses.
Etemon growled. "Now my plan is ruined! I'll never forgive them for this!" he said as if this was somehow the Chosen Children's fault, something that made even the Gazimon sweat drop as he watched Etemon fiddle with the controls, causing the harness on the Monochromon to be released, allowing it to run off. But when it did…
"Arise, my Dark Network!" Etemon called out, as a pair of black cables rose out of the ground, forming what appeared to be tracks, the trailer starting to be pulled along, to which the Gazimon scrambled inside before it closed.
"Won't you be gathering your followers, sir?" the Gazimon asked.
"No need. I'll be more than enough to handle the Chosen Children," Etemon said arrogantly as his trailer was pulled to his destination.
However, little did he know that not far away, a pair of figures were watching. The first, dressed in a white robe and hood, similar to Gennai's robe save for the color, that covered their features turned to their companion, who nodded and soon took off after the trailer.
"Isn't today just a lovely day?" Ruby said.
"It sure is," Palmon nodded as the two were lying down.
"Just the kind of day that makes you wanna lie down and do nothing all day," Yang said as she and Biyomon were also lying down.
"That's right, its a lovely day to lie down!" The Pagumon agreed as they danced around the village.
"...they're seriously buying that?" Weiss sweat dropped from the roof she was sitting on a bit further away.
"Just roll with it," Tentomon said, as all over the village the others were doing their best to keep the Pagumon distracted so they didn't notice Gyro and Agumon not being in the village.
At the same time, Gyro and Agumon were discreetly walking through the woods, following the scent of what Agumon was positive were the Koromon that are supposed to live in the village.
Eventually, they reached the waterfall that was near the village, and Agumon took one last sniff of the air "I'm positive now, the Koromon are here."
"Then let's free them." Gyro said as the two walked behind the waterfall, finding a cave that had quite a few locked cages full of Koromon, one of them looking up at the two newcomers.
"Who are you?" he asked a bit fearfully.
"I'm Agumon, and this is Gyro. Don't worry, we're here to free you, after all, I was a Koromon once as well." Agumon said with a smile, trying to reassure them.
"Hm...these are all simple locks. Normally I'd suggest smashing them, but I'd rather not accidentally hurt someone," Gyro mused, examining the locks, before pulling out a lock pick. "Thief games don't fail me now," he said, before getting to work on the locks.
"Hold on, you two ain't allowed to do that!" came a new voice from behind them. Turning they were met with the sight of two Gazimon, their arms folded in front of them, looking rather cocky. "You two and all the Chosen Children are going to be offered up to Lord Etemon."
"I'm guessing Etemon is the evil Digimon that's got control of this area," Gyro sighed.
"Sounds like it," Agumon frowned.
"He's not just any Digimon," the first Gazimon growled.
"He's the king of Digimon!" the other Gazimon smirked. "So you'd better show him the proper respect."
"I got all his respect right here," Gyro deadpanned, before well...flipping them the bird.
"Oh you asked for it now," the two Gazimon growled. "I'm sure Lord Etemon won't mind if we took out one of the Chosen Children first."
"Oooh, two Gazimon are going to attack us. Whatever shall we do?" Agumon said melodramatically, before he and Gyro shared a knowing smirk.
"Oh, we know!" they chuckled, as Gyro grabbed his Digivice, causing it to shine.
"Agumon, Evolution! Greymon!"
Gyro had to fight not to laugh his guts out as he saw the Gazimon's confidence literally evaporate as they looked up and up and up till they saw Greymon's chin, their ears drooped and their pupils becoming pinpricks as they realized they'd just bit off more than they could chew. It didn't help that Greymon had busted part of the cave entrance by just growing to this current size. "So...still wanna 'take us out'?"
"NOPE!" The Gazimon both shouted as they did an about face and tried to run for it.
"Mega Flame!" Greymon called out, and the Gazimon were launched out of the cave and down the river.
Gyro chuckled at the sight, before grabbing his scroll from his pocket and hitting Jaune's number, the call being answered seconds later "You guys can drop the act now, we found the Koromon."
"Uh, yeah, about that, we kind of dropped it already when we found a Botamon in the village, then Pierce grabbed the Pagumon in a net that shot out of Pandora." Jaune answered.
Back in the village itself, the Pagumon were loudly trying to break free of the net, before Pierce slammed the bottom of his weapon into the dirt next to the net. "If you don't shut up soon, I'm gonna use you guys like a pinata, and then Yang's going to use you as a punching bag!"
As if to emphasize the point, Yang grinned as she cracked her knuckles. At this point the Pagumon all wisely shut up.
"I see…" Gyro chuckled. "Well, we'll get the Koromon out. You guys come as soon as you can," he said, before hanging up. "Alright then buddy, let's get the Koromon out."
"Right," Greymon said, as he used his strength to rip the cages open, while Gyro picked the locks on a few. It wasn't long before the Koromon were all free.
"Thank you!" they all cheered, glad to be free.
"No problem," Gyro grinned, before he noticed their friends had arrived...and he couldn't hold the smirk back when he saw the Pagumon all still trapped in a net. Now he wished they'd left more cages intact. Maybe spending some time in them would teach the Pagumon a lesson. Oh well, there were less Pagumon than Koromon anyway so…
A few minutes later had the Pagumon all bouncing in dismay as they were now locked in the remaining cages. "And stay in there until you realize what you did was wrong," Salamon said as the Digimon all blew raspberries at them, even Agumon who'd reverted by now.
"Now then, I'm sure you all want to go back home, but do you need any help?" Ruby asked the Koromon.
"Nah, we're good. Thanks again for saving us," the Koromon smiled. However…
"Ahem. Testing, testing. Hey, is this thing on?!" came a new voice, one that clearly came from a microphone.
"Lord Etemon!" the Pagumon smirked. "Oh you all are gonna get it now! Lord Etemon is the strongest ever!" they laughed...until Nora casually tipped their cages over, causing them to fall in a clang, rattling them up a bit.
"So the boss is coming early, huh?" Pierce frowned. "Now might be a good time to use that secret technique, bro."
"Don't think that's gonna work." Gyro said as the opening in the middle of the waterfall caused by the rocks having risen let everyone see the trailer as it rolled into sight, with who they assumed was Etemon standing on top, a guitar in his hands.
"Oh great. We need to find an escape route now." Jaune said nervously.
"The cave goes on pretty deep." one of the Koromon said, specifically the one that was holding onto the lone Botamon that the group had found in the village.
"We need to distract him then." Pyrrha said simply.
"Maybe make him believe he was able to defeat us so he doesn't come running." Weiss added lowly.
"I dunno what you lot are planning, but its not gonna work! Dark Spirits!" Etemon called out, throwing a sphere of dark energy, forcing them to dodge as a section of the cave wall was destroyed.
"Okay, no choice. Time to evolve, guys," Pierce frowned. At that Veemon and Gabumon stepped up.
"Veemon, Evolution! Veedramon!"
"Gabumon, Evolution! Garurumon!"
The two Adult Digimon were soon out of the cave, and wasted no time in beginning the counter attack.
"V-Breath Arrow!"
"Fox Fire!"
"Hey, no shooting at the star!" Etemon smirked, before with a strong punch, he destroyed both attacks. "Looks like you kids need a lesson in respect!" With that, he jumped off his trailer, and landed a strong kick to Garurumon, sending him reeling back. Veedramon tried to grapple him, but Etemon soon lifted him over his head, and threw him at Garurumon.
"Is that all you got? If so, then you guys don't stand a chance," Etemon laughed.
"Crap...this guy is WAY stronger than Devimon," Jaune gulped.
"Should we all evolve?" Gomamon asked.
"Something tells me that's not gonna work here," Gyro frowned. "We need to find an escape route."
"But where would we get that?" Blake asked. However, before they could start discussing, a grating sound could be heard. "What IS that?!" she shouted.
"Love Serenade!" Etemon grinned as he began to 'sing', causing Veedramon and Garurumon to roar in seemingly pain, before they reverted to their child forms.
"My strength's gone…" Veemon groaned.
"Mine too…" Gabumon groaned.
"That song...its taking away all our strength…" Patamon groaned as he landed on Blake's shoulder.
"Okay...this...is REALLY bad…" Pierce gulped. Their enemies powering themselves up was one thing, but the power to sap the strength from their Digimon...how the hell were they supposed to beat that?
"Man, who thought this would be so easy? Oh wait, I did." Etemon said with a laugh "I knew you kids wouldn't be able to hurt me, Chosen or not." he said as he cracked his neck, and took a step forward, until…
"Koyousetsu!" a feminine voice called out as several glowing leaves show down from the sky and striked where Etemon was about to step, making him stumble backwards.
The monkey man growled as he glared up at the top of the waterfall with a look of pure fury on his face "Dammit, not you again! Quit butting into my business Renamon!"
Though the group couldn't see at first, quickly enough, a yellow figure landed a few feet in front of Etemon, letting them see who this 'Renamon' was.
The figure was revealed to be a bipedal yellow fox with a feminine frame, wearing purple sleeves on her forearms while her blue eyes were narrowed at the simian.
Digimon Analyzer: Renamon
Renamon. Data Type. A Child Level Beast Man Digimon. A powerful Digimon, even amongst Child Level, Renamon is easily able to take on Adult Level Digimon with nothing but her fists. Calm, cool and collected, Renamon fights strategically, and is known to be rather blunt with her words. Her special attack is Koyousetsu, firing several sharp leaves at her target.
"Hmph, if you actually bothered to think, you'd already know the answer to that request," Renamon smirked, seemingly not the least bit intimidated by the Perfect level before her.
"Tch!" Etemon growled, before smirking. "Well you talk big, but I know you had to have been nearby. You don't have the strength to evolve anymore than these twerps!"
Renamon however smirked. "Since when have I needed to evolve to fight back?" she chuckled. "After all...I'm not alone."
At that moment, on the top of the rocks, the figure in white reached into their robe...and pulled out a Digivice much like the one Keenan had, but colored silver instead. They then reached into a pouch at their hip...and drew forth a card.
(Play Slash! By Oota Michihiko)
The card spun in the air for a moment, before a hand grasped it. The figure soon brought the card which had a magnetic strip on the side, and scanned through the slot on the side of their Digivice. "Card Slash!" they called out, their voice feminine but strong, revealing them to be a woman. At the same time on her Digivice screen there was the image of the card seemingly splitting and opening revealing a mass of data and parameters inside. "Snimon!" she declared as she finished scanning the card, the image of said Digimon appearing on the screen.
Back at the fight, Renamon's gloves glowed, and from them a pair of curve sickles grew out, leaving the Digimon now armed with a dangerous new weapon.
"Ok, what the hell?!" Gyro said in shock as he looked at the sickles.
"That's not natural at all! Those things belong on a Snimon!" Tentomon said as the sight was even more confusing for the Digimon.
"Did anybody else hear that thing about a card slash?" Nora asked as she had a hand cupped next to her ear.
"Now that you mention it, yeah." Ruby said with a frown.
"The voice almost sounded familiar honestly." Yang added, just as confused as her little sister.
Back at the fight, Etemon was hardly impressed. "Your new toys don't scare me! Dark Spirits!" he called out as he threw the orb at Renamon. However, Renamon was much faster, disappearing in a blur as the orb flew past where she had been. Renamon suddenly appeared in front of Etemon, and with a quick slice, cut some of his suit. "Hey! I just had that dry cleaned!" he growled. "That does it! You're Data Dust when I'm through with you!" he roared as he lunged for the fox, who avoided without much difficulty. Landing a quick kick to his head, Renamon managed to make hims tumble a bit.
"Run! Go through the cave!" Renamon instructed the Chosen Children, before going off to fight Etemon. "I will hold him off!"
"Are you insane?!" Biyomon said in alarm.
"You should listen to them. There's no way a Child Level could ever beat a Perfect like me," Etemon grinned...only to yelp when he suddenly had to dodge a sudden gun shot.
"A Perfect Level is afraid of a gun?" Renamon snarked at him.
Instead of answering normally, Etemon growled as he started to try and attack her again, having to dodge both gunshots and Renamon's sickles.
"Guess we don't have much of a choice." Gyro sighed, before turning around "Come on! Let's head deeper!"
(Song end)
"Dammit! I knew we needed those Crests, but I never thought we'd need them THIS badly!" Pierce growled as they ran. That little run in with Etemon really hammered it in how outclassed they were right now.
"For now let's just get away from him so we can regroup!" Pyrrha said.
"Good idea!" Gabumon nodded tiredly.
Aside from them, the Koromon joined as well. "This way!" one of them said as they took a few turns through the cave. Eventually they reached what appeared to be a dead end, but they also noticed the odd carving on the wall, one that resembled a sun of some kind.
"What's this thing?" Agumon said as he looked at the carving, for some reason it felt… nice, like it was something good.
"We were told that if anything bad ever happened to the village, we should come here, and that it would guide the way." one of the Koromon said.
"Did somebody predict today would happen or something?" Jaune wondered.
"If so, they should have been more precise in their words." Gyro said with a sigh, before him and everyone else blinked as the area around them was starting to glow in an orange color, the brightness concentrating on the carving.
Then, the wall blocking the way started to shrink while glowing even brighter, until it was the size of a thumb.
"Is that…?" Ruby started in surprise as she looked at the small orange object that floated in front of them all.
"A crest." Gyro said in awe, before the crest flew into his tag, locking itself in place "MY crest?" he corrected himself in surprise.
"Well, at least there was a good reason for it to be here." Pierce said, bringing everyone's attention back to the front, as they noticed the crest has been hiding what was essentially a back door out of the cave.
The group stepped out of the cave, revealing a mountain range. "This is the mountain far from our village," one of the Koromon said.
"We'll hide out here for now until things calm down," another said.
"Stay safe all of you," Agumon smiled, while Gyro was looking at the Crest they'd just gotten.
"Guess we finally got a Crest, huh…" Gyro said slowly, before grasping it tightly. "Now we have a fighting chance," he grinned.
And there's the chapter!
Etemon makes his debut, the chosen find their first crest, and a mystery figure and a Renamon save them.
I'm pretty sure a few of you have already figured out who the figure is.
If you have, don't mention it in a review, say it to me in a PM.
Anyway, for now...
The Adventure Evolves.
