What's this? A new story? :3 Yes, it is a movie in the GrimmFall universe~! :3 I hope you all enjoy it! :3
Note: I own NONE of the characters involved here save for my OCs, and you can find them listed on my Gundam SEED: Divisions fic. :3
nightmaster000: Yes, Flora is from Winx Club and you would be right. :3
Lord Maximus: Glad you like it. :3
merendinoemiliano: Yes, I am aware of the issues. However, the Class II rank is because he does not have the experience of those like Dracon and Major Glory. Experience is what counts in this world, and thus, the lower rank despite the power being about equal. And you would be right~! :3
D.N. Works: You would be correct~! :3
Opening Files: Lucha Crew
Three students of Lucha Academy, they are considered some of the best students. The leader is Rikochet, followed by the rule-following Buena Girl, and the stinky Flea. While they seemed to be a mishmash of students, the three fit well together. Rikochet and Flea get along well, with Buena Girl being the one who keeps the duo out of trouble.
As students of the Lucha Academy, the trio, like all students of the school, they are required to help protect the temple of the Order of the Foodians. This arrangement works out because the Lucha Academy gets the senzu bean to recover from their daily wrestling matches that occur during the school day. In return, the Lucha Academy protects the temple to keep the senzu bean from the grasp of anyone who seeks its power for evil purposes.
But against someone like the Food Witch, will this arrangement be enough?
Flora made her way from the Chamber of the Elders and down to her room where the traveler was no doubt still resting. She was unsure if he would even be up to the questioning that was to come, given his injuries as well as his rest time. Of course, with what the Elders had told her, the questioning had to happen. She swallowed nervously, hoping he would not take it personally.
Agunimon had managed to get his body suit and armor back on without much difficulty, but he refrained from putting his facial armor back on, lest he prevent his head wound from healing properly. He looked around the room again before he saw the form of the fairy in the doorway of the room. She seemed surprised to see him up and about, but then again, he was a Digimon, not that she knew it anyway. He just happened to have a higher rate of recovery when evolved.
"I see you're up," The fairy said as the Warrior of Flame rubbed the back of his head nervously.
"Well...there didn't seem to be any point in just lying around so..." He murmured nervously.
The fairy then looked up at him. "It is just as well, then..." She began as the Digimon looked at her in confusion. "Because you have been summoned before the Elders."
Hearing that surprised the Warrior of Flame. "What?" He asked, surprised. "Why?"
"It's because of what you told me." The fairy explained. "They want to know if the Food Witch was indeed the one who attacked you." She continued.
Agunimon frowned at hearing that. "Well...if I have to, I guess I can't get out of it. At least, based on what you are telling me I can't anyway, right?"
"You would be right." The fairy replied. The Digimon felt his face grow pale at that as she continued to speak. "No one can get out of being questioned by the Elders if they feel the Order is at risk of being attacked."
She then turned and began to leave, mentioning for Agunimon to follow her.
Flora made sure the traveler was right behind her as she led him into the center of the temple, and the Chamber of the Elders. He had not said a word since she had told him about the questioning. The duo approached the doors and they opened, revealing the Chamber of the Elders.
Upon entering the chamber, Flora knelt before all three Elders. "Oh great Elders." She began. "I have brought the traveler as you have requested."
"Ah, good that you have done so, Flora," Elder Possible replied as her lioness tail swished around behind her.
Beside her, the traveler looked uneasy, not that anyone really noticed anyway.
Agunimon was not sure what to expect since he had arrived here. First he had lost to Grandma Stuffum, and now he was being brought before these elders with no idea as to what awaited him. It made him nervous, but he had to get through it at least.
The leader of the elders looked at him with sharp green eyes, but the Digimon didn't even flinch. "Now traveler, you see before you the Elders of the Order of the Foodians." The lead elder said sternly. "I am Elder Possible."
"I am Elder Hazel." The first witch on the right said.
"And I am Elder Lezah." The second witch on the left said.
Elder Possible glared at Agunimon. "We are the three Elders, and we are in charge of the order. We heard from Flora, whom brought you here, that you were attacked by someone you claim is the Food Witch." She continued. "Is this what you claim?"
Agunimon finally gained the strength to speak and nodded. "Yes, it is." He confirmed.
"We shall see." Elder Hazel said.
"Now, in order to confirm if the Food Witch has indeed returned, we need to be sure that she has indeed returned from the exile we imposed hundreds of years ago." Elder Possible said seriously. "Here is how this questioning will go. You will speak when addressed, but not speak when we speak. Any lies will result in you being turned to stone forever. And finally, if what you say is indeed the truth, we will require any assistance that can be given to us by you."
The Warrior of Flame frowned, but nodded in response.
Three forms watched from the outside, each frowning at the sight of the Food Witch, who was watching the temple of the Foodian Order. She did not look like she was up to anything good.
One form spoke. "This is not good." The male form said with a thick Mexican accent.
"Yeah." A second male form agreed, with a bit of a higher accented voice.
"So not Buena." The third form, a female sighed.
The first form frowned to himself. "But why is the Food Witch here?"
"How should I know?" The female form shrugged. "We just followed the Flea's nose here."
"The smell of bacon lured me here," The second male form, known as the Flea, said with pride.
"Sure Flea, whatever you say," The female form sighed.
The first male form frowned beneath his mask. "Buena Girl, Flea is right. That smell he picked up on long before we did."
Buena Girl, the lone female amongst their team, sighed. "I know, Rikochet." She groaned.
Rikochet, the leader, frowned as he turned back to observe the Food Witch. Just what was she up to...?
Inside the temple, Agunimon was under questioning by the Elders themselves. "Now, let us begin," Elder Possible said as she looked at the Digimon before her. "Tell us, what brought you here to our part of the world?"
"I came here because there was a rumor the Food Witch had survived an encounter, and it was a mission I took on." Agunimon replied. To his credit, and the dismay of the Elders, he did not flinch under their gaze, although he was nervous as hell. Elder Possible's green eyes narrowed at his words.
"And what is your reason for taking on such a mission?" She pressed.
The Digimon swallowed nervously. "I...had two encounters with her before," He admitted at last. "The first time she had a friend of mine captured for something I do not wish to remember, and the second time was when I was out helping an ally. But during that mission, it was assumed she was killed by a train running her over. At least, until rumors began to drift around that she was still alive."
Elder Lezah frowned at this. "And just how did you happen to learn the Food Witch was here?" She pressed.
Agunimon gave the Elders his best neutral glare. "I'm a Hunter," He countered. "What did you expect? Besides, I can match her in power, so I figured it would be best if I took on this mission."
Elder Hazel frowned herself. "But if that is the case, then how come you were defeated?"
The Digimon sighed at that point. "Not only did she catch me off guard, but I didn't want to set the forest on fire." He replied at last.
Elder Possible gave him a look. "So you didn't want to cause unnecessary damage, is that right?"
"Yes," Agunimon admitted. But he did not like the way the Elders were looking at him, because it made him suspect they thought he was lying.
"You say these thngs, but how do we know it is the truth? Because you could be working with the Food Witch instead of against her." Elder Hazel said seriously.
It was then that Flora, the Fairy, came to his aid unexpectedly. "Elders, I can verify the Food Witch was the one who attacked him." She said as she stepped forwards. "When I found him injured, I sensed the magic that only the Food Witch of the Von Stuffum clan could use."
Elder Possible looked at the fairy with a look. "And you are sure of this?"
"Yes," Flora replied. She had a serious look on her face as she addressed the Elders. "I am the Fairy of Nature, so I was able to pick up on the energy used with the food magic."
Looking back at Agunimon, the Elders seemed to accept her explanation. For his part, the Warrior if Flame was surprised that the fairy had come to his aid. But why?
Elder Possible then spoke again. "Well, it would seem you are indeed telling the truth then," She mused. "Very well. Flora, see to it that the traveler is taken care of."
As Flora nodded, the Digimon could not help but wonder what would await him now.
The Food Witch looked on at the temple, sure she would be able to get at the famed senzu bean. However, she was aware that the red-armored warrior she had fought before was in the temple as well. That alone was a problem, because it most likely meant that the Elders had heard his side about how she had attacked him. That meant they were less likely to believe her, and be on high alert for any sign of her magic now.
However, Grandma Stuffum was also aware of the famed Lucha Academy nearby. She could see it easily from her perch on a hilltop. Her eyes narrowed as she observed the temple again. Perhaps she could use the close proximity to the Lucha Academy to her advantage? An idea began to form in her mind as she sneered to herself.
Rikochet, Buena Girl, and the Flea were watching the Food Witch, unsure of what her intentions were with the Foodian Order's temple. Flea frowned at the fact the Food Witch was not making a move on the Order or its members.
"What should we do?" Rikochet asked Buena Girl as she frowned to herself.
"Let's wait and see what she does." The female Lucha student mused.
"But she is watching the Order for a reason!" Flea protested. "We can't let her pull off whatever she is planning!"
Buena Girl shot Flea a look. "When we have no evidence she is planning anything?!" The female of the trio retorted. "And you're supposed to follow the Lucha Code!"
"Flea has a point," Rikochet said, having pondered their next course of action. "If we just wait for evidence of her attacking the temple, then things could backfire and we would have failed to protect the Order of the Foodians."
Buena Girl frowned at her leader's response, but knew he had a point too.
"We can't fail the Order of the Foodians." Rikochet continued as he stood up. "For if we do, then it means we lose a valuable item."
Flea snickered. "Yeah, and the heads wouldn't be happy if that occurred." He teased, earning him a smack from Rikochet.
"Okay..." Buena Girl sighed. "Let's go..."
Rikochet grinned before he jumped out of hiding and towards the Food Witch. "IT'S TIME TO LUCHA!"
"IT'S TIME TO LUCHA!"
Grandma Stuffum perked up as she heard the shout. Looking back, she saw three forms jump out from the trees, only to land before her. She was surprised it was three students from the Lucha Academy, but then she sneered mentally. She could use them to her advantage!
"Well, hello, dearies." The Food Witch cooed.
"Cut the old lady act!" The white-wearing female, Buena Girl, exclaimed as she pointed at the Food Witch. "We know you are planning something!"
"Oh? You do, do you?" Grandma Stuffum purred. "And what am I planning?"
"We know you are planning to attack the Foodian temple!" The red and blue wearing male, Rikochet, snorted.
"So give it up!" The flea-outfit wearing male, Flea, finished as he crossed his arms over his chest.
The Food Witch just sighed. "Alas, that was not my plan." She said sadly, while smirking mentally. "It was my intention to save the temple."
Before her, the three students looked confused. "Save the temple?" The female Lucha student questioned. "Why would you want to save the temple when they cast out your family centuries ago?"
"Because, dearie, even though I was cast out, I am still a Foodian." The Food Witch replied. "And there is someone in there whom wants to steal the senzu bean for their very own as well as murder my fellow Foodians in cold blood!"
Upon hearing that, the three Lucha students gathered in a group. to whisper and talk for a moment. "Do you think she is telling the truth?" Buena Girl asked. "I mean, it could be a trap for all we know!"
"We can't take any chances." Rikochet said seriously. "For all we know, it could be the truth."
"Should we believe it?" Flea asked in concern. "We need the senzu bean ourselves after all."
The trio was not sure if it was a lie or the truth, but taking the claim seriously would be the right thing to do. After all, there were those who were after the famous bean. So, their minds made up, they broke apart and faced the Food Witch.
"While we don't truly trust your claim, we can't take it lying down, either." Rikochet explained. "If we find you are indeed lying, then things will not end well for you."
The Food Witch looked somewhat appalled. "You don't believe an innocent Foodian? How low can you get?"
"You, innocent? No. A Foodian, yes." Buena Girl said seriously. "Be aware we are only investigating this on the account of you being 'concerned' about your fellow Foodians."
Despite the doubtfulness in their voices, the fact the students were going to look into her claims was still good news, because they had fallen for her trap regardless.
As the trio left, Grandma Stuffum sneered visibly. She could have the flame-based warrior and the three Lucha students take each other out, and then she would be free to attack the Order with no one to stop her!
In the temple, Agunimon and Flora were walking out from the Chamber of the Elders. Beside the Warrior of Flame, the Fairy of Nature was silent. Silence reigned for a few moments before Flora spoke to the Digimon. "I'm sorry for getting you involved in that." She said as he looked back at her in surprise.
"Why are you sorry?" He asked.
"You shouldn't have had to go through the questioning." Flora replied. "Given how injured you were, you should have been resting instead."
Agunimon snorted. "I tend to heal fast." He retorted. And it wasn't a full lie either. He did heal fast, but that was only if he reverted to his human form and was unconscious. She didn't need to know that little detail.
Silence took over again before the fairy spoke once more. "I don't think I introduced myself. My name is Flora, and I am the Fairy of Nature."
"Call me Agunimon." The Digimon replied with a grin. The fairy giggled at his response to her introduction.
"It's nice to meet you." Flora said as she held out a hand to the Warrior of Flame. He shook her hand in response to the gesture.
"So, what brought you to our simple temple? Aside from the Food Witch of course." Flora asked as Agunimon sighed.
He looked down at the floor. "Just trying to complete the mission I took on." He replied. "It has a bit of a personal meaning for me because one of my friends had been her target for...her latest plot before it was put a stop to by me and an ally."
"Well, I am glad you managed to stop her before your friend was hurt or worse." Flora said with a smile.
She then grabbed Agunimon's wrist and pulled him down the hallway. "Hey!" The Digimon yelped as she pulled him along. "What are you doing?!"
"I'm going to show you around, silly!" Flora said with a grin. "It would be rude of me to not do so, right?"
Realizing he had no say in the matter, Agunimon sighed before he let Flora pull him along. It would be good if he learned the layout of the temple anyway.
As they walked along, the Digimon could see there were many Foodians talking and going about their daily lives. Women were cooking and sewing while the men were tilling the fields.
The duo made their way around, with Flora pointing out several areas to the Warrior of Flame before they came to a stop by one of the many trees that grew on the temple grounds. Looking up, Agunimon could see there was fruit hanging from the tree. A glance at Flora told the fairy all she needed to know. She smiled at him. "It's okay," She assured him. "That fruit is for everyone to enjoy."
A smirk crossed the Digimon's face before he turned and jumped up onto a branch that would support his weight. Flora, upon seeing how high he jumped, classified the warrior as a Faunus, if only because he was not more animal-like in his appearance. Looking up, Agunimon could see the fruit on the tree, mangoes to be exact. A glance down at Flora revealed a smile on her face. "If you could get me one too, that would be nice!" She told him. The Digimon gave a grin before he grabbed a mango and tossed it down to her before grabbing one for himself and jumping down to join her.
The two of them sat under the tree, fruit in hand. Flora took a bite of her mango with a hum of pleasure while beside her, Agunimon did the same, but without the sounds of enjoyment. Silence reigned between then for a while before Flora spoke. "To be honest, I haven't really been outside the temple grounds much." She said, making the Warrior of Flame look back at her.
"Huh?" Agunimon blinked in surprise. "What do you mean?"
"I mean I haven't been allowed to go beyond the farthest portion of the temple ruins." Flora replied as she looked back at the Digimon. "It's one of the rules for members of the Foodian Order. Those who are not given a true title are not allowed to leave."
Agunimon frowned a bit at that. "But weren't you called the Fairy of Nature?" He asked.
"Yes, but that is only a tentative title for the moment." Flora admitted. "Only when I achieve the growth of a plant of our greatest treasure will I be given that title formally." She then looked back out at the temple walls. "I haven't even been to one of the many cities yet."
"Wow..." The Warrior of Flame murmured. "The Elder sound strict."
"You have no idea..." Flora sighed.
She was so caught up in her thoughts, the fairy didn't even see the blush that crossed the Digimon's cheeks as he gazed at her. Realizing he was staring, Agunimon looked away and down at the ground. As he looked at one of his hands, the Digimon wondered why his heart seemed to be racing around the fairy. What was it about her that made his heart race so fast? Gritting his teeth, the Warrior of Flame shook his head. There was no way he could be falling for Flora, was there? He had just met her for crying out loud! However, she was a fairy like Kazemon… A slight gasp escaped him at that, making him shake his head again. There was no way that Kazemon and Flora were the same! Hell, Kazemon was a Digimon, not a fairy!
However, with Agunimon now caught up in his own thoughts, he hadn't realized Flora had snapped out of her own thoughts and was now standing up. She made her way over to him and grabbed his right hand, startling the Warrior of Flame out of his thoughts. Looking up, Agunimon was greeted by her smiling face. "C'mon!" Flora said as she pulled him to his feet. "I still have more to show you!"

Secretary General Willis frowned as he looked over the information that was being sent back from GF-007. It wasn't anything special, but it was still somewhat disturbing. It seemed there were ruins that Zero Squadron was investigating, if only to learn if there were any secrets to the Fallen. So far though, there had been no breakthroughs.
He set the datapad down and picked up a tablet. This was from the techies back on New Juneau regarding the black oozy substance that had been found on the Archangel when the ship had returned after that damage from the Sea Fei Long Grimm.
"Hmm..." He mused as his eyes flicked over the notes.
*In regards to the black ooze we had recovered from the Archangel, we have determined it has a simple genetic structure that can be altered as seen fit by the one who creates the Grimm. However, without further information or even a Grimm to study, we can only infer about this because of a lack of conclusive evidence.
What we have found is as follows:
A simple genetic structure
Is attracted to negative emotions
Able to possess objects or take control of machinery
As you can see, it is not much. Further analysis has to be put on hold until a simple Grimm can be captured. Sorry for the inconvenience.*
Putting down the tablet, Secretary General Willis pondered the next orders for the unit. Perhaps it was time to capture a Grimm...
GF-007
After being shown around some more, the duo of Agunimon and Flora were now by one of the springs where the fairy was resting her feet. She sighed with relief as the warm waters eased the aching in her feet. "This feels so much better..." She sighed. Next to her, Agunimon was lost in his thoughts again, but not about Kazemon. No, he was wondering what it was that the Foodians so treasured that they were so far from civilization.
Flora looked back at him and gave him a nudge. "You okay?" She asked as he snapped out of his musings. "Do you need more rest?"
The Digimon waved a hand. "Nah. I'm fine." He assured her.
"Then why were you so silent?" The fairy asked.
Agunimon pursed his lips before speaking. "I was wondering why your group is located so far from civilization," He replied at last. "What is so important that you guys would be all the way out here in the wilderness?"
Hearing this, Flora sighed. "Do you remember that bean I gave you?" She asked as the Legendary Warrior nodded.
"Yeah, why?" Agunimon asked, confused now.
"That was the senzu bean, our most famous, and greatest, treasure." The fairy explained. "It has the ability to restore a person's Aura reserves and energy as well as heal injuries that are not critical or fatal." She then looked at the pouch on her waist. "However, because it has such a potent use, it takes a long time to grow, and we don't give it out to just anyone." She continued. "In fact, because of that, the bean is considered a prize by any and all heroes/hunters. It has led to many fighting each other just to get even one bean." She then looked back up at him sadly. "That is why we can't give it out to anyone who asks."
The Digimon looked down at hearing this. "I see..." He murmured.
Agunimon gets questioned by the Elders, and gets let off without any issues due to being honest and because of Flora coming to his aid. Meanwhile, the Food Witch manages to convince three students of the Lucha Academy to look into her claims of a threat to the Foodian Order. But will they fall for it? Read on to find out~! :3
