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.

30. Chapter 30

As dawn broke the next morning, the peaceful atmosphere of the Nature Tribe's capital was broken as a legion of Sylvanmon, Dryadmon, Treantmon, WoodKnightmon, GrandTreantmon, MysticLillymon, Druidmon and SageDruidmon stood before the palace, with Silvamon, ArchDruidmon and BloomLordmon standing proudly before their forces.

Alongside the leaders of the Nature Tribe, the heroes and heroines had changed into their Digimon, Appmon and Digi-Armoured forms, with Jeri once again using the blade BlazeShogunmon gave the group to aid in their fight.

And though he wasn't the strongest of the group, Novicmon had proven his value as he too stood ready to fight, the small mystic Digimon ready for the battle ahead.

"Warriors of Nature, we have long stood as protectors of Witchelny from all those who would endanger life, and thought it has pained many of you to stand back while the savage beasts of the Dark Tribe have invaded our lands, your patience and sacrifices have kept their evil at bay." Silvamon announced with deep emotion in her voice as she looked out at her warriors, the ruler of the Nature tribe expressing her pride, before adding with a seriousness. "But now, the day we have long feared has arrived, and soon the enemy will be upon Interitusmon's prison. We must not allow them to free the horror, or all life will cease. Now, we must fight together. We must now show the darkness Nature's fury!"

Invigorated by Silvamon's speech and keeping their eyes upon the Fairy Digimon, all present Upon completing her speech, the heroes and heroines, along with everyone else watching, looked in awe as a series of vines emerged from the ground and wrapped around Silvamon, growing in size, before taking a new shape.

Emerging from the vines and allowing all present to take in her appearance, the humans, Digimon and Appmon all looked to Silvamon, to see her alterations.

Silvamon's body was now as large as SacredPhoenixmon's, with her form stripped of its humanity and resembling a gigantic bipedal dragon, a great and powerful avatar of the nature around her.

The very life of the forest coursed through the new form to Silvamon, which was notable by the light green energy spreading along and seeping through her arms, legs, chest, wings and eyes.

As the new form of Silvamon's mouthless face looked down upon those below, her four wings spreading out as the leaf-like feathers swayed in the wind, her appearance both amazing and astonishing the heroes, heroines and the warriors of the Nature Tribe.

"Silvamon: Draconic Mode." Sagemon said to the others as he saw the information from the D-Bracer inside of his mind, letting the group know that this was Silvamon's alternate form, before the heroes and heroines saw things stirring from the ground and emerging to the surface.

Upon examination, the group saw that the new Digimon, six in total, resembled four legged dragons of wood and plants, each letting out fierce roars as they took to the skies with a single pair of wings each, each of the similar state as Silvamon.

Around the city, the largest of the trees, smaller only to the palace, began to change shape, soon resembling taller versions of the GrandTreantmon, with autumn leaves on their bodies as they brought their arms out and let out fierce roars in the process.

"SylvanDracomon and AncientTreantmon, both types are Mega Level Digimon, and both look as though they can deal a serious blow if you mess with them." MagnaVeedramon commented as he looked at the elite warriors of the Nature Tribe, before looking back at Silvamon, who, though lacking most facial features, held her devotion for the forest.

"We march to Interitusmon's prison, to our enemy and to the fate of Witchelny!" The leader of the Nature Tribe declared, her voice deeper and almost monstrous in her new form, before she looked upon the heroes and heroines and asked them. "Will you join us in this battle, heroes of Witchelny?"

Looking at one another, the heroes and heroines nodded in silent agreement, before Samudramon looked to Silvamon and said in reply. "We will, but first, just in case things don't go the way we all hope, it might be best if we have some extra help."

Turning to the palace, the heroes, heroines and Jeri withdrew their right hands upward, closing their eyes as they concentrated, where Jeri's D-Bracer began to glow, while the Digimon and Appmon around her gained a light aura.

Meanwhile, within the palace, the Spark of Life began to glow even brighter, the SageDruidmon looking at the great source of energy as its light grew.

Within their mind's eyes, the heroes and heroines soon saw a humanoid female figure bathed in light, no doubt the image of the Primordial of Nature, Animamon, who, despite the group unable to make out her appearance, seemed to smile at them.

"Champions of Life, Chosen of Witchelny, use my strength to drive the darkness out of my children's lands." Animamon said, before adding in a serious tone. "But be warned, the shadow of Death still lingers in this world, do not let your guard down."

Complying with the mental words of Animamon, it was then that the heroes and heroines were covered in pillars of green light, furthering the awe of the Nature Digimon, while Novicmon looked on in curiosity, eager to see how the Spark of Life would empower his friends.

When the light faded, the heroes and heroines all stood in their nature-imbued forms, with their armours all now a light green with leaf designs engraved on them, while their weapons and wings glowed with a light green flame, a similar effect now held within their eyes.

Holding the power of the Spark of Light, Jeri's appearance showed clear changes, the brunette now clad in green robes with leaf designs patterned all along her attire, while her blade now glowed with the same green flame as her friends, the fragment of nature now coursing through Jeri's form.

Branches and leaves covered her shoulders, giving her a more natural mystic look, leaving Jeri looking to be a true mystic warrior of the Nature Tribe, a power she continued to master and hold close to her.

Through their new power, the heroes and heroines could feel the life flowing not only around them, but all throughout the forests.

They could sense Sifakamon, Ajatarmon and their forces as they races towards the Dark Tribe horde, sensing the anger and resentment within the wilderness Digimon, as well as the cockiness and pride of their leader, while sensing the rage, bloodlust and evil of the Dark Digimon, sensing what they assumed was the rage of DarkTaurosmon and the cruelty of ShadowLotosmon.

But not too far from them, the heroes and heroines sensed something else, a force hidden and locked away, one that seemed to only desire one thing, death, death to all that is and all that will be, one seeking its freedom.

Shaking themselves to clear their minds of what negativity they felt, the heroes and heroines looked at one another, wondering just how dangerous Interitusmon was compared to Anansimon and Krakenmon, before turning as BloomLordmon brought his spear up.

"To battle, Warriors of Nature! It is time we drive the darkness from our lands, once and for all!" The nature warrior announced, receiving a matching cheer from the Nature Tribe Digimon as the army turned and began marching out of the capital, along with Silvamon, ArchDruidmon, the heroes, heroines and Novicmon, each hoping to catch up with Sifakamon and his forces before it was too late.

With vicious howls and bloodthirsty roars, DarkTaurosmon and his horde of savage Digimon rushed through the forests, knocking down trees and causing what wild Digimon still remained in the area to flee, less they were chased down by the savage Digimon.

Moving amongst their ravenous allies, ShadowLotosmon and her forces continued to use their senses, amplified by the Necromon with them as they tried to locate Interitusmon's prison.

As she continued her search, however, ShadowLotosmon felt a dark and wicked smile graze her face.

They were close now.

'Now all we need is for those fools to strike at us and weaken the illusion a little bit more.' ShadowLotosmon thought to herself, before her smile grew as she sensed her foes heading towards them.

"Magical Bang!" The voice of Sifakamon bellowed from the forests as hundreds of smoke clouds appeared within the Dark Horde, revealing the spiked bombs of the monkey-type Digimon, which began erupting around the area, throwing off the Dark Digimon as the wilderness Digimon, led by Ajatarmon, rushed out of the trees to strike at their hated enemy.

"Shotgun Moss!" Ajatarmon then declared, delivering a powerful blow to the Dark Tribe, the needles upon his face mask blasting off and splitting through a faction of the Dark Digimon.

As Ajatarmon remained as focused in his fight, countering the attacks of the infuriated Dark Tribe warriors, the remaining warriors loyal to Ajatarmon charged at their foes, preparing to sacrifice everything to avenge the fallen.

Alongside their forces and flying above Sifakamon's warriors were winged avian-Digimon known as Buetomon, having humanoid forms with wings, talons and bird-like heads as they fired arrows at the FeralHarpymon, who flew right at their aerial foes as the battle commenced.

"Strike them down, kill them all!" DarkTaurosmon bellowed with fury as his axes and body were ignited and engulfed in dark purple flames, where he then declared as he began charging at the wilderness Digimon. "Dark Rampage!"

Covered in dark purple flames, the Dark General rushed at his foes like a blazing meteor, striking through a large group of FeralUrsamon, Vulpinamon, Aculeatusmon and Predterramon, who cried out in pain as they burst apart into Data particles, while a large number of SavageBeastmon, FeralCentaurmon, BloodMinosmon and FeralManticoremon followed DarkTaurosmon's wake, cutting down and destroying everyone the Dark General left behind.

"Bloody Axe!" DarkTaurosmon then roared with a further rage as dark energy enveloped his axes, which he then slammed into the ground, sending out a shockwave of dark energy that cut through many other wilderness Digimon, destroying them instantly.

"Fall back, use the trees to protect you! Nature will be our shield!" Ajatarmon yelled, expressing seriousness and concern for his allies, just as the DarkGoremon and FeralCyclopsmon began moving towards his forces, the one eyed Digimon firing blasts of dark energy from their single eyes as the wilderness Digimon looked for cover.

"Don't give up! This is our chance to drive these animals out of the forests, and to make them pay for all they have done to our homes and our fallen friends!" Sifakamon's voice called out from wherever he was hiding as more bombs appeared before the dark Mega Digimon, the bombs exploding in their faces and causing them to howl in rage as the blasts also released a series of thorns stored within the bombs, plunging deeply into their faces.

Retaliating, the VileToropiamon rushed past their larger allies, spewing venom from their mouths that burnt through the trees around the area, this causing Sifakamon to freak out and to quickly run for better cover.

All the while, as the battle raged around them, ShadowLotosmon and the Necromon remained in place, concentrating as they tried to peer through the veil and find Interitusmon's prison, while the Yatevevomon remained around them for protection.

"It is close... so close, I can feel it!" ShadowLotosmon said with a growing dark glee as she felt the imprisoned power of Interitusmon, where the dark plant Digimon looked to DarkTaurosmon and called. "We need more! More death, kill them all!"

Letting out a dark bellow in reply, DarkTaurosmon slammed his body into Ajatarmon, knocking the plant Digimon on to his back, where the Dark General placed his hoofed foot on the warrior Digimon's chest, bringing his right axe up as he prepared to strike and finish his foe off once and for all.

"Forgive me... I was unable to fulfill my task... I was unable to bring justice back to the forest..." Ajatarmon said silently as he closed his eyes and awaited his end.

"Rinkageki!"

"Rage of Wyvern!"

"Holy Strike!"

"Divine Calling!"

"Sacred Flame!"

"Full Spirit Wave!"

"Crimson Force!"

"Hurricane Spiral!"

"Flaming Destruction!"

"Violet Blast!"

"Omni Force!"

"Inferno Spiral!"

"Ancient Blaze!"

"Ultimate Search Strike!"

"Golden Arrow!"

"Ballistic Barrage!"

The attacks, along with dozens of lions made of green flames, rushed at not only DarkTaurosmon, but his forces as well, causing the Dark General to use his axes to block the onslaught as he was pushed back, while a large number of his forces were deleted in the process, causing DarkTaurosmon to look up and glare at the nature-imbued heroes and heroines, alongside the arriving Nature Tribe forces.

BloomLordmon led the Sylvanmon, Dryadmon, Treantmon, WoodKnightmon and GrandTreantmon as they charged into the lines of the savage Digimon, while behind them, ArchDruidmon led the MysticLillymon, Druidmon and SageDruidmon as they either fired blasts of light green energy at their foes, or in some cases, raised their staves as roots and vines emerged from the ground, restraining the Dark Digimon and crushing them in the process.

Meanwhile, the SylvanDracomon let out streams of light green fire at the Dark Tribe Digimon, while the AncientTreantmon clashed with the DarkGoremon and FeralCyclopsmon, keeping the Mega Digimon occupied as they battled.

"Nature's Fury!" Silvamon called with might as she fired a blast of green energy from her clawed hands and her eyes, cutting through the Dark Tribe's forces with ease as the leader of the Nature Tribe landed next to the heroes.

It was then that a puff of smoke appeared next to the group of heroes, heroines and Silvamon, revealing Sifakamon standing on a rock as he faced them.

And though they could not see his face due to his mask, the group could easily sense him glaring at them.

"What, now that we finally have these guys on the ropes you decide to help?!" Sifakamon questioned in anger, adding as he pointed a finger accusingly at Silvamon. "After a thousand years of hiding in your city, you think you can just...?!"

"First off, calm down!" Samudramon cut in, this silencing Sifakamon, who was left in great surprise as he took in the appearance of the heroes once again, seeing their imbued forms.

"And second, we're here because..." Samudramon continued, only to fall silent as a loud, bestial roar caught their attention, the group looking to see DarkTaurosmon slamming his axes together as he looked at his foe, particularly the heroes and heroines.

"You! You are the ones who defy the Dark Lady! You are the ones who fought my weaker brethren!" The Dark General bellowed, where his eyes landed on MagnaVeedramon, knowing that the Dark Lady's chosen was a part of the holy knight Digimon.

While he knew he could not kill this one, DarkTaurosmon knew he could break him to the point he could no longer fight, causing the Dark General to roar once again as he declared. "I will crush you all! I will prove myself greater than Lycanmon, Draculmon, SkullBarbatosmon and DarkPosidemon! I will prove I am greater than the others, and prove myself worthy of being her champion!"

With a loud bellow from the Dark General, a large number of DarkTaurosmon's forces turned and began to charge towards the heroes, Silvamon and Sifakamon, who began to panic at the sight, before Ajatarmon landed before his Master in a defensive pose.

"Master Sifakamon, find a better place to hide while we deal with these fiends." Ajatarmon recommended, causing the monkey Digimon to nod his head as he turned to run, much to the frustration of the heroes and heroines.

"Wait!" Sifakamon then snapped with a shaky voice as he turned back to face Ajatarmon, causing the heroes and heroines to look confused, before sweatdropping at the monkey Digimon's next comment. "I can't leave you to die, you're my best soldier! No one will follow me without you!"

"Very well." Ajatarmon said in reply, keeping his fighting stance as he looked over the Dark Tribe Digimon. "I shall fight by your side. I will keep you protected, my Master, even if it costs me my own life. Let us end this evil and purify the forests!"

"Now that's what I'm talking about! Magical Bang!" Sifakamon expressed with a growing confidence as he brought his hands together, causing hundreds of bombs to appear around the charging Dark Digimon, the explosions and erupting thorns causing many to dissolve into Data particles, while others were scattered and distracted by the blasts.

Looking at one another, the heroes, heroines and Ajatarmon rushed towards their enemy, while Silvamon gathered energy for another attack.

"Cross Slicer!"

"Noble Strike!"

"Striking Light!"

"Blazing Spear Strike!"

"Spiritual Spear Strike!"

"Blazing Sabers!"

"Wind Blades!"

"Blazing Blade!"

"Thorn Saber!"

"Victory Slasher!"

"Star Shine Dive!"

"Skydive Force!"

"Sage Cutter!"

"Savage Slash!"

"Ballistic Barrage!"

"Assault Hatchet!"

"Nature's Fury!"

Moving together and now united with Sifakamon's forces, the heroes, heroines, Ajatarmon and Silvamon cut through the savage Digimon, breaking through their ranks, while MagnaVeedramon saw DarkTaurosmon moving through the smoke, explosions and Data particles as the Dark General charged right at him.

"Magna Saber!"

"Bloody Axe!"

As their weapons collided together, the opposing powers of MagnaVeedramon and DarkTaurosmon send out a powerful shockwave, not only alerting the others to the battle, but sending a large number of Digimon, Dark Tribe, Nature Tribe and Sifakamon's forces flying backwards, while the ground beneath the pair began to break apart.

'Damn it, he's strong... stronger than Lycanmon...' The holy knight Digimon confessed to himself as he held back DarkTaurosmon's attack, seeing the bloodlust in the savage Digimon's eyes.

"I will break you, I will bring you before Her and be rewarded!" DarkTaurosmon bellowed, pushing MagnaVeedramon back, letting out a fierce roar as he prepared to charge at his foe once again, ready to break him and bring the male human to his Mistress.

"Don't count on it!" MagnaVeedramon snapped back as he extended his blades, ready to defend himself as DarkTaurosmon charged at him again.

"Divine Calling!"

"Full Spirit Wave!"

The two feminine cries caused DarkTaurosmon to halt and used his axes to block the oncoming light and spirit attacks, pushing them back and causing them to disperse as the Dark General looked to see Lightbearer Ophanimon and MysticSakuyamon land on either side of MagnaVeedramon, both looking ready to fight.

"Are you alright?" Lightbearer Ophanimon asked as she looked to her beloved with some worry.

Comforting Lightbearer Ophanimon, MagnaVeedramon nodded in reply, holding a continued warmth in his eyes toward the Digimon of Light, before turning his gaze toward MysticSakuyamon. "Thanks for the assist."

"No problem." MysticSakuyamon replied with a small smile as she then swung her spear around and added. "Now let's teach this bovine freak a lesson!"

DarkTaurosmon let out a snarl, infuriated that these two female Digimon dared to move in his path and stand between him and the Dark Lady's chosen.

He would crush them and make them pay for defying him.

As he took in his new foes, DarkTaruosmon's nose twitched as he took in a scent, looking at Lightbearer Ophanimon with a slight confusion.

Taking another sniff, the Dark General found the celestial Digimon's scent to be familiar, almost reminding him of...

Shaking his head of unnecessary and distracting thoughts, DarkTaurosmon let out a fierce roar as he prepared to bring the trio of heroes down once and for all.

"Cross Slicer!"

"Noble Strike!"

"Blazing Spear Strike!"

"Blazing Sabers!"

"Wind Blades!"

"Blazing Blade!"

"Thorn Saber!"

"Victory Slasher!"

"Star Shine Dive!"

"Skydive Force!"

"Sage Cutter!"

"Savage Slash!"

"Ballistic Barrage!"

"Assault Hatchet!"

"Magical Bang!"

Working with Sifakamon and Ajatarmon, meanwhile, the other heroes and heroines fought through DarkTaurosmon's forces, with Silvamon raising her hands as nature energy flowed from them, causing the trees themselves to come alive and strike at the Dark Digimon, while Jeri and Novicmon channeled the healing elements of the Nature Digi-magic, healing the wounded Nature Digimon and Wilderness Digimon alike.

Once the dust settled, BloomLordmon, ArchDruidmon and the MysticLillymon the heroes and heroines met the day earlier moved towards the heroes and their lady, where ArchDruidmon began to suggest. "We need to move them away from this area before they find..."

"Oh no, not this crap again!" Sifakamon cut in, his tone of annoyance as he pointed at ArchDruidmon and continued in anger. "We're all sick and tired of this Interitusmon excuse! It's just a myth! We either fight here or we...!"

"Yes!" ShadowLotosmon suddenly yelled with a maniacal laugh, interrupting Sifakamon's rant as he, Ajatarmon, the Nature Tribe leaders and the heroes and heroines looked to see the dark plant Digimon's hands, along with the hands of the Necromon with her, glow with a dark purple aura, which grew in intensity.

As this happened, the tree line before the Dark Digimon began to blur, almost like a mirage fading, shocking the heroes, heroines and Sifakamon at the sight before them.

In place of the section of forest they saw only a few moments ago was a circular clearing, where at the center was a massive tree, one the size of the Silvamon's palace.

Only unlike the tree that housed the Spark of Life, this tree seemed dead and decaying, with no leaves and a haunting feeling to it as light green runes seemed to cover the trunk and branches, ancient magic trying to hold back the evil that was contained inside.

"Oh, crap!" Sifakamon cried out in panic, now realizing the mistake he had been making for so long now, causing those around him to grit their teeth at the sight before them.

The Dark Tribe had now found Interitusmon's prison, and if they did not stop them, the Dark Digimon would unleash another Ancient Horror upon Witchelny.
