Digimon Adventure: Destiny's Heroes

by Lichlord08

A group of Digital Heroes have been pulled to a world unlike any they've seen before, one being overrun and oppressed by a powerful evil. Seeking to find what brought them there, the heroes unite to learn why they were summoned and stop the Dark Forces in their tracks, while dealing with new, developing feelings amongst them.

28. Chapter 28

The night after their encounter with the Dark Lady, an endeavour of which none had faced before, none of the heroes or heroines managed to get that much sleep, especially Jeri, who awoke with a loud and terrified scream.

Having to be comforted by Takato, Rika, Kari and their partners, the group managed to calm her down from the nightmarish vision the Dark Lady showed her.

Now, as the sun rose the next morning, the group of heroes and heroines, still slightly battered and bruised from their battle, continued to follow Novicmon as he led them into a large forest.

Looking around, meanwhile, Davis noticed the exhausted look on many of the groups' faces, while some in the group were looking around with slight fear in their eyes.

"Guys, calm down, she's not coming for us." The maroon haired Digidestined said to his friends with confidence and trust in his tone, knowing that many were still thinking the Dark Lady would show up at any moment and finish what she started.

"We know, Davis, we just..." Tagiru started to say, before letting out a frustrated sigh, still upset about how easily they were defeated, his emotions shared by Gumdramon.

Meanwhile, Kari, Sora, Zoe, Nene and Eri thought of the Digimon who perished with their village, all because they helped them, while Jeri remained distant, her mind still reeling from the mental assault as she rested herself against Takato.

"We let our victories get to our heads." Davis remarked, his comment getting everyone's attention, before the Digidestined of Courage and Friendship added. "We thought we could take on anything, forgetting about what we've been told about the Dark Lady, and we paid for it. We all realized when we started this journey that things would not be easy, but that doesn't mean we give up. I'm not saying we forget what happened, but learn from it and move forward, so that we're ready the next time we face her."

From Davis' words, the humans, Digimon and Appmon felt their fighting spirits return, knowing that should they confront the Dark Lady or another force such as her, they needed to concentrate against their enemies and fight as a true team.

"Davis is right." Tai then said, adding with his own smile as he looked to his sister and the other. "We won't let what happened to that village go unanswered. We'll unite the rest of the tribes and take the fight back to the Dark Lady, and she'll face justice for her crimes."

"Yeah!" Agumon yelled with enthusiasm, where Marcus' Agumon then said with a firm boldness. "And next time we see him, we'll kick Wraithmon's ass and apologize to Eclipsemon afterwards!"

Showing his own enthusiasm, Dokamon threw a fist to the air, almost desiring to pick a fight, which drained away as he added with an uneasy tone. "I just hope we don't run into that creep Sciophobimon again."

Most amongst the group shivered as they thought of the jester-like Digimon, where Guilmon added. "I can't get his smell out of my head, it's awful."

Looking over Guilmon, and taking note of how the Digital Hazard Digimon held a somewhat disgusted expression on his face, which was shared amongst the other Digimon and Appmon, Zoe got curious and had to ask. "What does he smell like?"

"To put it simply, he smells like a freshly dug up corpse." Renamon replied as a shiver went up her spine, remembering the disturbing feeling of something very wrong when the jester-like Digimon was brought up.

Deciding to focus beyond the Dark Tribe and to establish a more positive atmosphere, Davis spoke up, suggesting. "Let's change the subject, like deciding on which tribe we're heading for next."

"Actually..." Novicmon then said as he stopped walking in front of the group, causing them to stop and look at him as well as he turned and said to his friends. "We entered one's territory a few minutes ago."

Blinking their eyes in surprise, the group of heroes and heroines looked around as they examined the surroundings.

Although the scenery consisted of a continued mixture of various plant life, the energy of the area seemed different.

"The Wood Tribe?" Takuya asked as he looked back at Novimon, finding the images of Arboromon and Petaldramon entered his mind.

"They prefer to call themselves the Nature Tribe." Novicmon replied as he put his map away.

"This tribe focuses on more natural digi-magics, and are at one with not just the animals, but the very forests that make up their territory." The small mystic Digimon then informed as he looked around the forest around the group.

"Right." Davis remarked as he scanned the area and then told the others. "Try not to lean too long against the trees, and keep the campfire to a minimum tonight."

"Wait, why?" Gumdramon asked in confusion as he rested himself against one of the trees for support, the Superstar Digimon still feeling slightly exhausted from their previous battle.

A moment later, the Superstar Digimon quickly removed his hand and jumped back as a loud groaning sound emitted from the tree, before the trees around Gumdramon began to bellow with the same sounds.

To the humans, Digimon and the Appmon, it was almost as if the trees were talking to one another.

"Oh... Nature Magic, got it!" Tagiru then said as he and the others realized that trees and other plant life around them were much more active and lively than in the other areas, which meant they would have to tread more carefully as to show they held no ill intentions.

Walking closer to one of the trees and showing her kindness toward the inhabitants of the Nature Tribe, Kari spoke to the trees, saying with a warmth in her voice. "We aren't here to harm you, we're here to help against the Dark Tribe."

There was a brief pause, before a series of lights appeared within the treetops and a small group of tiny winged Digimon flew down, beings resembling small humanoid Digimon made of pure light with butterfly-like wings, which circled around the heroes and heroines with a clear interest.

"Spritemon, Rookie Level Digimon." Rika said as she read the information from off of her D-Bracer, before looking up as one of the Spritemon stopped a few feet from her, giving the red haired Tamer a pleasant smile.

Friends...

Heroes...

Kind...

The heroes and heroines blinked as they heard the words, before realizing that it was the Spritemon talking, the warmth that the sprite Digimon showed caused the heroes and heroines to relax a little, seeing that these Digimon didn't see them as threats, but as friends.

However, the mood suddenly changed when the Spritemon were all filled with panic, the tiny Digimon turning toward the same direction and hurried back into the trees.

Danger...

Evil...

Hide...

Into the trees...

Sensing the panic within the Spritemon, Davis and the others then heard a rumbling from the direction the small Digimon were looking, causing the maroon haired Digidestined to look at his friends and nod, where they quickly moved to climb up the trees.

By the time the last of their group made it to the upper levels of the forest, the heroes and heroines looked down to see a large number of Digimon come rushing through the forest below, which looked like a pack of wild and savage animals hunting for prey.

The first type of Digimon resembled bipedal goatmen, which held different types of horns and jagged teeth.

Their bodies were covered in ragged dark purple armour, with many showing higher levels of intelligence as they wielded axes, swords and other types of brutal weaponry.

Alongside the goat-like beasts was another type of Digimon, which had a similar upper torso to the goatmen, only their lower bodies had four legs with claw-like feet, similar to that of a centaur's body.

Within their possessions, the centaur Digimon drew spears as they looked around the area with a feral look in their eyes, scanning for any prey they could eliminate.

Lastly, but not least, were three massive minotaur-like Digimon, also clad in makeshift dark purple armour, with spiked shoulder pads, carrying massive axes and seeming to be the leaders of the group, moved ahead of the wild Digimon, looking around for prey.

Looking down at the new Digimon, one thing stuck out for the heroes and heroines, seeing that either tattooed on the Digimon's bodies or painted on their armour was the crescent moon of the Dark Tribe.

"SavageBeastmon and FeralCentaurmon, Champion Level Digimon." Davis whispered to the others as he read off the information from off of his D-Bracer on the larger numbered Digimon, before the info on the minotaur Digimon appeared as he then added. "And then we have BloodMinosmon. Ultimate Level beast types."

As soon as he finished, however, Davis looked to see the lead BloodMinosmon hold out his hand, causing the rest of the Dark Digimon to follow the command of their superior as he sniffed the air.

"What is it, what do you smell?" One of the SavageBeastmon asked, his voice ragged and almost like a snarl.

"Human flesh!" The BloodMinosmon said in a deep, guttural voice, causing the heroes and heroines to widen their eyes in worry.

"The humans are here?!" Another SavageBeastmon questioned with excitement, where it began to add. "We should inform DarkTaurosmon and..."

Before the SavageBeastmon could finish, however, the Dark Tribe Digimon were alerted by the sounds of fierce roars and cheers, where the heroes and heroines looked to see another large group of Digimon rushed out from the other side of the forest to the clearing, glaring down the Dark Digimon as they looked ready to fight.

Some resembled humanoid feral tigers, clad in simple armour and blades over their claws, while others resembled large gorillas, wielded makeshift hammers as weapons.

"Predterramon and Aculeatusmon, both appear to be Champion Level Digimon." Mikey said as he looked from his D-Bracer to the new arrivals, before his eyes landed on a large number of smaller Digimon, which resembled bipedal rabbits with large feet, makeshift armour like their allies, and holding wooden staves to use in battle.

"Lepusmon, Rookie Digimon. What they lack in power, they make up for in speed." Sora informed silently as she looked at her D-Bracer, before observing some of the other new Digimon before them.

Behind the group of wilderness Digimon were a trio of bipedal bear-like Digimon, towering over the rest as they let out fierce roars, clad in makeshift green armour and having large, serrated claw glows over their hands, where they glared at the Dark Tribe Digimon with rage.

Meanwhile, behind the bear-like Digimon, and much to Renamon's intrigue, was a small group of humanoid, orange furred fox Digimon, also clad in green armour, who seemed to slightly blend into the brushes and trees around them, wielding staves as they glared at the Dark Digimon before them.

"FeralUrsamon and Vulpinamon, both Ultimates." Takato silently told his friends as he read the information upon his D-Bracer, where the heroes and heroines then saw an odd Digimon land in front of the wilderness Digimon, one that caused the Dark Digimon to sneer.

The new Digimon, while resembling a human, had features to him that resembled a monkey.

Clad in dark green robes, with a tail swinging from out the back, the Digmon's appearance was concealed by a face mask, showing a single eye, which glared at the heroes and heroines.

Seeing the Digimon take to a fighting stance, showing its hostility, Davis and the others prepared themselves against this new foe.

"Sifakamon, Ultimate Level magic user Digimon." Tai then said, reading the info on the Digimon, who they guessed to be the leader of the Digimon opposing the Dark Tribe Digimon below.

"Alright, listen up and listen good, you ignorant pests, we're going to kick your asses and send you crying back to your Dark Lady!" Sifakamon said, his words angering the Dark Digimon and sparking a wave of encouragement toward Sifakamon's followers.

"Alright, my loyal soldiers, as you guys attack these ruffians head on, I..." The monkey-like Digimon began to say, keeping a strong nobility to his stature, which faded as the lead BloodMinosmon let out a fierce roar, freaking Sifakamon out.

"I'll go find a better spot to hide!"

With that said, Sifakamon threw down a small sphere, which erupted with cloud of smoke, allowing the monkey-like Digimon to show his cowardice and flee, the sight causing the heroes and heroines to sweatdrop, while the wilderness Digimon looked at the spot their "leader" was last standing with the same look, one that told everyone what they were all thinking. 'Asshole!'

Letting out a deep roar and showing it fierce bloodlust, the lead BloodMinosmon charged at the wilderness Digimon, where Davis and the others prepared to use their D-Bracers and help these Digimon against their dark foes.

However, before they could step into the fight themselves, the heroes and heroines saw another Digimon land in the BloodMinosmon's path, which delivered a swift kick to the Dark Digimon's stomach and sent him backwards.

As the battle broke with the new fighter's arrival, the humans, Digimon and Appmon took the time to take in the Digimon and his appearance.

Maintaining a humanoid build to his figure, Davis, Veemon and the others found that this Digimon wasn't humanoid, nor was he a beast, but actually a plant.

Thick vines extended from his body, forming a set of arms and a pair of legs, while another pair of vines extended from atop his head, flailing about slightly around the wooden and blank mask covering his face.

Grasping a thick sickle in his right arm, the plant Digimon remained in his fighting position, his attention solely focused upon the BloodMinosmon in his path.

"Master Sifakamon..." The plant Digimon then said, his voice deep and bold. "Retreat to safety as we deal with these invaders!"

Reappearing in a puff of smoke behind the new Digimon, Sifakamon nodded in reply.

"Thanks, Ajatarmon. I owe ya!" Sifakamon called with relief in his voice, before disappearing once again, the wilderness Digimon appearing happy to see Ajatarmon now prepared for combat.

"Assault Hatchet!" Ajatarmon declared as he rushed at the BloodMinosmon, who used his axe to block a strike from the plant Digimon's weapon, the sight starting off the other Digimon as both the Dark Tribe Digimon and Wilderness Digimon began to fight.

Seeing the fighting, Davis looked to the others, who saw his determination, knowing that they needed to help these Digimon in their fight.

Fully pushing their fears of the Dark Lady aside, the heroes and heroines looked back at the fight with the same determination as Davis as their D-Bracers lit up.

"Samudramon!"

"MedievalGallantmon!"

"MangaVeedramon!"

"Lightbearer Ophanimon!"

"SacredPhoenixmon!"

"MysticSakuyamon!"

"CrimsonAldamon!"

"GaleSilphymon!"

"LordShoutmon!"

"ShaolinArresterdramon!"

"AncientMervamon!"

"Sagemon!"

"ShogunOujamon!"

"BardMusimon!"

Hearing the calls, the battling Digimon stopped and turned to see the heroic Digimon and Appmon coming down from the trees, followed by the Digi-armoured forms of Marcus and Yoshi following them, while Jeri and Novicmon landed at the foot of the tree, ready to aid their friends as best they could.

Seeing the sight of the heroes they had heard so much about caused the wilderness Digimon to cheer, with Ajatarmon nodding his head approvingly, while from his hiding place, Sifakamon looked on with intrigue.

On the other hand, upon seeing their enemies, the Dark Tribe Digimon let out fierce roars as they changed directions and launched themselves at the heroes and heroines, hoping to take them down not just for their Dark General, but for the Dark Lady as well.

"Cross Slicer!"

"Noble Strike!"

"Magna Saber!"

"Striking Light!"

"Phoenix Knuckle!"

"Full Spirit Wave!"

"Blazing Sabers!"

"Wind Blades!"

"Blazing Blade!"

"Thorn Saber!"

"Victory Slasher!"

"Mythic Strike!"

"Skydive Force!"

"Sage Cutter!"

"Savage Slash!"

"Rhythmic Stream!"

Working together, the heroes and heroines cut through the savage Dark Digimon, thinning their numbers and causing the wilderness Digimon to cheer as they rushed into to help, attacking the invading Digimon with all their might.

Striking down one of the BloodMinosmon, MagnaVeedramon stepped back, only to feel his back bump into someone, turning to see Ajatarmon turn his own head and looked at him, the plant Digimon seeing a warrior spirit within the holy knight Digimon, causing him to nod approvingly at MagnaVeedramon, where both turned their heads back to the fight and worked in sync as they battled the SavageBeastmon and FeralCentaurmon rushing towards them.

As the fighting continued, however, the heroes, heroines and their allies stopped when they heard a massive rumble heading towards them, before looking up to see the Spritemon flying away as the trees began to fall down, revealing a massive monstrosity looking down at them.

While also resembling a minotaur, the new Digimon was as tall as the trees, the beast having four arms with sharp weapons tied to each of them, where the monster let out a fierce roar, looking down at its prey, who saw the crescent moon painted on its forehead.

"DarkGoremon!" Jeri called out, seeing the creature's information on her D-Bracer, before adding with warning as she saw more info on the beast. "It's a Mega!"

The monster, DarkGoremon, then let out another roar, looking down at MagnaVeedramon and Ajatarmon, where it charged at the pair, bringing its weapons up to strike.

"Magna Saber!"

"Cross Slicer!"

"Noble Strike!"

"Assault Hatchet!"

Working with Ajatarmon, MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and MedievalGallantmon each blocked one of DarkGoremon's weapon covered fists, causing the dark beast to let out a fierce roar, where the three heroes and the plant Digimon saw what looked like dark flame begin to form within its maw.

But before the beast could unleash its fiery attack, a puff of smoke appeared within its jaws, revealing a spiked bomb, which went off, exploding within DarkGoremon's mouth and causing the creature to let out a pain roar as it staggered backwards.

Shaking off the attack, DarkGoremon then looked over to see Sifakamon, the monkey-like Digimon standing on a rock nearby and in the midst of a set of unique hand signs.

Though Sifakamon had returned to the fight, DarkGoremon began to charge at him with a beastly fury, the sight of the charging behemoth caused the monkey Digimon to panic slightly and to then act.

Forming several hand seals, this caused more bombs to appear around DarkGoremon, which exploded around the beast Digimon.

However, undeterred by the attack, DarkGoremon continued his rampage, about to strike at Sifakamon, before looking as a pair of vines wrapped around the monkey Digimon and pulled him right to Ajatarmon, who held his Master in a protective pose.

"Thanks, I thought I was going to be split like a banana there!" Sifakamon yelled with relief, his comment causing the heroes and heroines to sweatdrop at Sifakamon's more comical of antics. 'Great, he makes monkey comments.'

However, ignoring Sifakamon and refocusing on DarkGoremon, MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and MedievalGallantmon moved to end the raging beast once and for all.

"Holy Strike!"

"Rinkageki!"

"Rage of the Wyvern!"

Unleashing their attacks together, the powers of MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and MedievalGallantmon combined together as they struck DarkGoremon, causing the massive beast to cry out in pain, agony and defiance, before its body broke apart and bursted into Data particles.

Seeing the largest and strongest of their forces defeated, the last of the BloodMinosmon let out a loud roar, causing the remaining Dark Tribe Digimon to turn and run back into the forest, causing the wilderness Digimon to cheer as all but MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and MedievalGallantmon reverted back to their normal forms as the new Digimon came over to cheer the heroes who helped them in battle.

"You do indeed have the spirits of warriors." Ajatarmon said to MagnaVeedramon as he landed before the holy knight Digimon, placing Sifakamon back down on his feet, who dusted himself off before looking at the heroes and heroines.

"My words exactly." Sifakamon then said, before adding as he got into a heroic pose and introduced himself. "I am Sifakamon, leader of this band of noble and heroic Digimon who join together to rid our home of the Dark Tribe!"

"We thank you for your support and hope that you will..." The monkey Digimon then started to say, only to be cut off as one of the Vulpinamon looked out into the forest and yelled. "He's coming!"

Panic overtaking Sifakamon, the monkey-like Digimon looked to the heroes and said. "Sorry, but we've gotta go. I can't be expected to fight every challenge that comes this way. Catch you all later!"

Again sweatdropping at the comment, the heroes and heroines watched Sifakamon quickly run away, retreating into the wildeness, before seeing Ajatarmon bow respectively to them as he and the other wilderness Digimonvacated the area, confusing the various humans, Digimon and Appmon.

"Ok, that was just..." Tagiru started to say as he turned, before stopping as he found an arrow at the end of a bow pointed at his face, where the heroes and heroines found themselves surrounded by a large group of plant-like Digimon.

The first type of Digimon almost resembled humans, but with green, plant-like skin and leafy armour, some wielding bows and arrows, others swords and shields.

The second type resembled the first, only their lower bodies resembled that of a stag, their four legs standing strong, with matching horns as they held spears to the group, while behind them, several Digimon resembling the first stood with wooden staves, each draped in leaf-like robes as they looked upon the heroes and heroines.

"Sylvanmon, Dryadmon and Druidmon, all Champion Level Digimon, with Druidmon being a magic type." Haru informed as he looked at his D-Bracer, where he and the others saw a dark green leaf icon upon the shields and armour of the Digimon before them, revealing them as the true members of the Nature Tribe.

A loud thud then caught their attention as the heroes and heroines turned to see a new Digimon appear before MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and MedievalGallantmon, one resembling a knight Digimon clad in silver armour, with a flower blossoming on his right shoulder, while a similar bloom was present on his left, the petals moving down his like a cloak, leaving a spear made of vines and flowers wielded in the warrior's hands.

"That's BloomLordmon, the champion of the Nature Tribe!" Novicmon called in surprise, having only read about the Mega Level Digimon in books, and was intrigued to see the infamous Digimon before him.

However, the surprise quickly turned to concern as BloomLordmon pointed his spear at the group, with MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and MedievalGallantmon preparing to fight if they had to as they saw energy building up at the tip of the spear.

"Foul invaders! You shall pay for your transgressions against our forest! For we are the noble defenders, the champions of life, the...!" BloomLordmon began to say as he prepared to strike, the humans, Digimon and Appmon yelling and trying to get through to the Nature Warrior Digimon that they weren't the enemy, but found BloomLordmon too into his speech to listen.

"You Idiot!" A loud feminine voice then cried out in rage as a Digimon that most of the heroes and heroines recognized as a Lillymon appeared behind BloodLordmon and all but smacked a large wooden staff against the side of his head, the action causing the Nature Warrior Digimon to cancel his own attack as he went skidding a few feet across the ground, a sight that left not only the heroes and heroines sweatdropping, but the other Nature Tribe Digimon around them as well.

Getting a better look at their saviour as she landed on her feet and stalked over to the downed form of BloomLordmon, the heroes saw that, while the female figure held a resemblance to Lillymon, this Digimon's petal outfit was much longer, giving her a wizardry appearance, along with her staff.

"MysticLillymon, Ultimate Level, who bases in magic type attacks." Kari said with a smile as she watched MagnaVeedramon, Samudramon and MedievalGallantmon revert back to their normal forms, before looking as MysticLillymon, who moved closer towards BloomLordmon.

"My lady, why have you...?" BloomLordmon began to question in anger as he looked up, before gulping lightly as he saw the burning anger within MysticLillymon's eyes.

"You big dummy, do these really look like Dark Tribe Digimon to you?!" The fairy Digimon questioned as she looked down at her superior in anger, her words causing BloomLordmon to look between the heroes and MysticLillymon a few times.

"Well, no, but..." BloomLordmon started to say in defence, only to be silenced and to yelp as MysticLillymon once again smacked his head with her staff.

"These are the heroes we've been hearing about! They're here to see Lady Silvamon, and you go and just attack whatever moves here with your big ego!" MysticLillymon let out as she continued to wack BloomLordmon, the Spritemon flying down and around her as they nodded their tiny heads in agreement while glaring at the plant knight Digimon as well.

Watching the scene as MysticLillymon continued to berate and beat up BloomLordmon, the other Nature Tribe Digimon stood down and watched alongside the heroes and heroines, sweatdropping with the group as Novicmon questioned one of the Sylvanmon. "Is this... a normal thing?"

"It occurs more often than you would believe." The plant warrior Digimon replied with a fair sigh, adding to the sweatdrops the heroes and heroines were feeling, before seeing MysticLillymon finally stop her attack and walk towards them, her mood changing as she bowed lightly before them.

"I apologize for BloomLordmon's behaviour, I am MysticLillymon, welcome to the territories of the Nature Tribe, brave heroes." MysticLillymon said in a polite voice, before turning and glaring as BloomLordmon moved next to her, who flinched slightly at MysticLillymon's aura of anger.

"Please, follow us, we shall escort you to our capital, our leader, Lady Silvamon, has been expecting you." The fairy Digimon then offered in kindness and respect, the calming atmosphere allowing the heroes and heroines to sigh in relief and to relax.

Although she too was more relaxed, concern filled Sora toward the wilderness Digimon, who questioned. "What about your tribesmen that went after the Dark Tribe?"

"That is... a delicate matter." MysticLillymon said in reply, confusing the heroes and heroines as she then informed them. "Our Lady will explain once we arrive, please follow us, there are still Dark Tribe forces roaming our territory."

Nodding in response, the group began to follow MysticLillymon and BloomLordmon as the other Nature Tribe Digimon walked behind them, making sure they were not followed, the events and words of their new allies leaving the heroes and heroines intrigued and concerned about what was going on within the lands of the Nature Tribe.

Moving quickly, the BloodMinosmon and his surviving warriors arrived at the base of a large rock, where on top was a massive minotaur-like Digimon, at least twice the size of the BloodMinosmon, looking before a massive horde of dark and savage Digimon as he wielded a pair of large axes, each brimming with dark energy, which also coursed through the large Digimon's body like veins.

"Great DarkTaurosmon, we encountered the humans and their pets!" The BloodMinosmon informed his Dark General, who turned and bore down at his servants with glowing purple eyes.

"Was the Dark Lady's chosen with them?" The Mega Digimon questioned, seeing the BloodMinosmon nod his head in reply, causing DarkTauromon to let out a roar of excitement.

"Finally! I shall prove my worth! I shall prove that I am greater than Lycanmon, Draculmon, SkullBarbatosmon and the others! We shall find it, we shall find the Dark Lady's prize and bring it and the male human to her! We shall crush the other humans and their pets, we shall crush the Nature Tribe, and all shall see the might of DarkTaurosmon!" The Dark General declared, before letting out a loud, beastial roar, which was soon echoed by his entire horde, all eager for a true battle and to slaughter all in their path.

Meanwhile, watching slightly from the trees, a dark plant Digimon smiled wickedly at DarkTaurosmon's words, looking forward to finding the Dark Lady's prize, and seeing the doom it would bring to Witchelny.
