The horsemen have been very persistent.

After the brief showdown at the wooden city which they had long since left behind, Dorulumon and Gatomon on his back both fled across the grassy plains at top speed, thundering across the ground like a herd of deer on the move. Dorulumon hated running away, but as far as he could see that had been their only option at this point. They needed to ascertain a few things before they started to anger the locals, which they had already done that without intention.

The humans on their horses had been quick to follow, though it had taken a long time for them to organize themselves into a pursuit, by that point Dorulumon and Gatomon were already a great distance away, with no destination in mind. But they had been fast and Dorulumon had grimly noticed that they could at the very least match up his pace when he and Gatomon both took a look back, if they not actually go faster.

And they certainly didn't like the veritable line of spears that they had brought with them.

So he had kept running with Gatomon holding on his back, are heading north at a relatively fast but steady pace. Dorulumon had great endurance, which allowed him to run from day and night, even longer if necessary. So he and Gatomon are trying to stay away from the horsemen that are following them, just to lose sight of them and stop hunting them.

They had a feeling that if they tried to stop and talk to them then they would try to stab them anyway. After all, they had destroyed a large part of a perfectly good house while Dorulumon and Gatomon both had been in their city and then evaded some of their best efforts to stop them from escaping. But no, talking to them now is a bad idea.

The problem with the plains they are on was that there was no places to hide. There were hills, but that wouldn't only do them so much good. It wasn't a proper hiding place if someone could spot them by just coming over the top and looking down. But they needed to shake the horsemen and they were determined to follow them, even if they did manage to stay out of their reach.

"Did we lose them, Dorulumon?" Gatomon asked the wolf.

"I am not sure if we lose them, Gatomon?" Dorulumon replied to Gatomon as he was not sure.

How are they following them at such a distance they weren't sure. They certainly couldn't be following their scent, humans weren't designed to do that, so either they were leaving a distance trail behind them or they could just see them in a distance, as they could see them whenever they both turned around. Dorulumon and Gatomon suspected they are still behind them or not.

It was very frustrating for them both.

Their luck had eventually been on their side. As they continued to head north they eventually found more rocky terrain, with boulders and small cliffs around the place rather than a simple grassy plains that they had been traveling across for some hours.

"Now this is more like it." Dorulumon observed the area.

"This would be the best place to lose them." Gatomon said with relief to find a place to cover their tracks.

Dorulumon jump onto a large boulder with Gatomon holding on as they make big leap from rock to rock to a cliff and a small pile of boulders. Dorulumon was making sure to stay off the grass and keep himself from making any trail across the plains. The rock would be hard and impossible to track them except by scent.

Dorulumon had learned how to lose pursuers the hard way. He knew exactly what it took to isolate himself and make sure that he stayed out of the was of others.

After all, when he had left the Bagra Army and cause Tactimon to lose the battle for the Zone he was trying to take over for the first time, Tactimon was very furious. Dorulumon had ruined his reputation as one of the best Generals when Dorulumon had fled, the Bagra Army General had diverted a lot of resources into finding him and bring him back for punishment for disobeying his orders.

Dorulumon had been a veteran for a long time, and he knows how to take care of himself in a fight, but Tactimon had been very relentless. The first few months after his deserting had been hard, with Tactimon having the best of the Bagra Army's trackers to come after him, and searching places for him. He'd done everything short when Reapmon, who later became Beelzemon and sided with the Fusion Fighters after his time as the Bagra Army's reaper on him. And the only reason he hadn't done that was because Tactimon wanted to deal with the traitor himself.

It had been hard time, but Dorulumon had survived and adapted, until he disappeared from Tactimon's radar completely.

As for Gatomon she had lived in a small village somewhere in the Sand Zone with a group of other Gatomons in all her life, when she had studied the Digital World's history and Zones. Her small village is very well hidden from the Bagra Army, because the village was cast by magic with an illusion to make the surrounding village invisible.

Until that is when she meet Wizardmon and Sorcermon both came to her village. They have been traveling for three days in the Sand Zone with no water or food. Gatomon did rush in to help them with her fellow Gatomons as they brought them to the village to rest. The villagers provided food and water for both Wizardmon and Sorcermon nearly died of both starvation and thirst.

Gatomon got curious about the outside world as she talk to the two brothers. As they tell her that they were explorers that what to learn about the history of the world. That is when the three of them became friends and she was very close with Wizardmon as the two of them are in a relationship. The three of them had lived in the village for three years as they later heard about Bagramon and his army was defeated by Shoutmon and his Fusion Fighters. With their talents of their skills. Gatomon was one of the agile fighters and very stealthy in battle.

As of now Dorulumon and Gatomon holding on Dorulumon's back as he jump rock to rock, as they stayed off the grass to make no footprints. That is when Gatomon found a small cave in one of the cliffs. She pointed Dorulumon to the cave as he jump onto another rock and he landed inside the cave.

"Time to close up the entrance." Dorulumon said to Gatomon.

"It is better for those humans that can't find us in a close up cave." Gatomon said.

Dorulumon lifted his tail and aimed the huge drill at the top of the roof above the entrance. setting the drill whirling into motion, he carefully pushed it into the rock, tunneling his tail into it with a loud piercing noise. He carefully withdrew the tail and repeated the process twice more at either side of the entrance, then the rocks above the entrance suddenly cause a rockslide to seal off the opening. It cause dust and block off the light.

The darkness didn't bother Dorulumon and Gatomon. Because they can see in the dark so will as they both have night vision. They backed up to a wall as Dorulumon made a hole on top with his tail, to allow light and air to stream in for the small gap he and Gatomon couldn't even fit their heads through. Now Dorulumon has sealed off the cave with only a small gap for both Dorulumon and Gatomon to look out.

The lupine and cat Digimon were settled themselves down, out of sight from their endurance hole and Dorulumon began to doze, while Gatomon is taking a peek out of the hole to look out. They now both need to rest and recover their strength in case they need to rest and recover their strength in case they need to prepare themselves.

However they had questions like where are they and what happened to all of their friends. But wondering about it would not get them the answers they needed, and they will go out and search for someone to help them.

Still, Dorulumon and Gatomon couldn't help but worry about the others. Especially for both Cutemon and Wizardmon they both known for a long time.

XXX

Dorulumon wasn't sure how long he slept before he heard the noises outside and Gatomon was next to him as she shook him.

"Dorulumon! Those horsemen are here!" She lower her voice to warn him as they hear the horses hooves and the sound of men's voices, the two Digimon stayed quiet as they listen what they were saying.

"Any sign of them over there?" A voice close to the two Digimon's hiding place.

"Not a thing." Said another much further away. "It's as they have disappeared completely."

"Nothing over here either, sir." Came another voice that was even fainter. "They seem to have eluded us."

"What shall we do?" Asked a fourth voice, accompanied by a nervous whinny horse. "Do we return to Edoras?"

"Not yet." Declared the first voice. "We shall keep looking for a few more hours. If there is a chance that they are still in the area we cannot let those foul abominations of Saruman's escape us. They are large enough and powerful enough to be a serious threat to the villages on their own. We keep searching."

Dorulumon suppressed a snort of discern and Gatomon raised a eyebrow oddly. Foul abominations? Dorulumon had been called by many things in his life but this was a new one. As for Gatomon, she and her people were never called like that before in their lives. But who is Saruman they were talking about?

But the two of them said nothing and didn't move a inch as the sound of hooves moved closer to their hiding place, until they were right outside. If they make any noise they would hear them, but nothing happened. The horsemen didn't even pause. They just continued past the blocked cave without stopping even to check out. No suspicion. Nothing out of the ordinary.

And they moved on.

Dorulumon and Gatomon both listened to the sounds of hooves fading into a distance and they chuckled. Thanks to Dorulumon's skills. The men didn't seem to have a clue they were here.

Still going out there now would be a bad idea. There was a chance that both Dorulumon and Gatomon would run into them again accidentally and then the whole chase would start again, and they'd have a far less lead. No, they would stay around here for a while and wait for the cover of darkness before they tried anything else. That would lower their chances of them running into those riders.

So Dorulumon settled himself down and as for Gatomon she laid next to Dorulumon as they both fell asleep in the cave.

They remain completely unaware of the conflict that was beginning to arise some distance away from were they are resting.

Saruman was pleased.

Why would he not be? After all meeting with the leader of the Wildmen from Dunland and the new ally name ChaosGallantmon, General of the Bagra Army. He has gain their sworn loyalty of the vicious men from the lands to the west and the Digimon from another world they came from. His Uruk Hai army was still being constructed and prepared for the main event that will come, but he had been eager to start the campaign against Rohan, his long time neighbouring country.

What better way to start than to use the Wildmen, who were already established enemies of Rohan, and the Digimon to help spread chaos against Rohan, they are both ready to began operations for him, until the group of Uruk Hai he had sent after the Fellowship and returned with the Hobbits they had been ordered to capture.

For ChaosGallantmon he had made preparations with his Commanders to send a Captain to lead a army of Digimon. The Bagra Army are ready to attack Rohan as they gather around their Captain and are eager to destroy this land and to kill the people.

The Captain was a Gokuwmon a monkey Digimon. He appears as the monkey king with white fur and red eyes. He wears a black shirt, black pants, black boots and black gloves. He has red bands on his head and neck. He also has bracers on his arms and tail. And he wears a golden crown on his head. He was known to be a master of martial arts who likes to fight stronger opponents and he is armed with a staff.

He was given orders by his General to lead his troops with his three fellow Captains with a Uruk Hai and the two Wildmen of Dunland.

It was not long for the Wildmen, the Bagra Army and the Uruk Hai all mustered their forces, that very night Saruman and ChaosGallantmon both been surrounded by a huge band of scruffy, ragged men with their thick beards, grubby hairs and filthy faces armed with weapons, along with a army of Shamanmons, Ogermons, Goblimons and Apemons from the Bagra Army. Saruman and ChaosGallantmon were not concerned by the Wildmen's vicious looks. They are no threat to them at all. And they seem to be in awed by them.

Kindling the fire in their hunger and their thirst for action against Rohan had not been difficult. The Wildmen had always hated the Rohirrim for years and Saruman was making a speech to the Wildmen as they are already to go and attack. Same could be said with ChaosGallantmon talking to his Captain and his troops.

"The horsemen took your lands!" Saruman had declared. "They drove your people into the hills, to scratch a living off rocks!"

The Wildmen already knew all this, but whenever it was mentioned they reacted in the same way. There were yells from all around and for two Wildmen who are leaders of the assault against Rohan's villages are full of rage and are out for blood.

The first man was named Ulric. He is a big man wearing in black leather fur, wearing boots and with a cloak. He has black hair with black beard with a scar on his left eye with three claw marks of a wolf that scratch him. He is one of the fierce warriors who face many beasts and he is armed with a two handed axe.

The other man next to Ulric was named Darlas. He is a scruffy man dress in green leather clothing with a green hooded cloak covering his head and with black boots. He had black hair and a black beard with some rotten teeth. He is known to be brutal by killing women and children, even at that time he lost his family that were killed by the Rohirrim Riders. He only did it for revenge. He is armed with a sword.

Ulric who was in the middle of the crowd screamed. "MURDERERS!" The other Wildmen took up the call until they were all growling and snarling like primitive beasts rather than men, waving their weapons and brandishing their torches like madmen.

Next was ChaosGallantmon who was giving a speech to his own army. "Everyone in the Bagra Army, hear me!" He shouted. "The time has come for us to make our move to attack the people of Rohan! We will show them the power of our army and crush any who stands in our way! Also keep a look out for any members of the Fusion Fighters and eliminate or capture them, only they know were King Shoutmon is at! And if any of you happened to find Shoutmon destroy him!"

He finishes his speech and continued. "Now go forth and bring glory to Lord Bagramon!" The Bagra Army cheer as they moved out.

Back to Saruman who begins to finish his speech. "Take back the lands they stole from you." He instructed smoothly, though he had raise his voice to be heard over the crowd. "Burn every village!"

The Wildmen were now motivated as they had made several attempts to take the lands of Rohan in the past, but now they have Saruman's support and are ready to get started. With many of Saruman's Uruk Hai that are ready for battle and ChaosGallantmon's Bagra Army are also ready for battle too. The Wildmen had run out of Isengard's gates in their battle cry, screaming for the blood of the Rohirrim, while the Uruk Hai were eager for a taste of their first battle for man flesh. And the Bagra Army are eager for their first battle to crush the people of this land.

In the ranks of the Uruk Hai, they have a Captain name Zog who is a fierce Uruk. He wears in heavy armor, he has long black hair, his skin is purple and has the mark of the white hand on his right cheek. He is armed with a axe. He was also known to be a very aggressive fighter and was also want a taste for man flesh.

Saruman and ChaosGallantmon both watched their army of 300 go with a face of satisfaction. Saruman had once been allies with Rohan and he had been a counselor to Rohan's Kings. But now he saw the flaws in everything they had been trying to achieve. Their ideals were lies, and there was none who could stand before the rising of Sauron and a ally name Bagramon. Saruman knew it would not be long now before the tide broke over the mountains of Mordor and washed out to cast darkness over all the surrounding lands.

Saruman was pleased. Pleased to be part of the rising darkness and pleased that he had no reason to fear for his own life. And if he obtained the Ring himself... then perhaps he could even lead from a position even more powerful than Sauron.

For ChaosGallantmon he will help his ally to conquer this land and be one of the strongest Generals in the Bagra Army. If he ever finds Shoutmon and kill him he may get promoted as the Grand General of the other Generals they all want that position.

Blood would soon be spilled over the lands of Rohan. The peasants first and the horsemen and then the nobility. Their forces were already closing around the city of Edoras and the King who is inside. There was no chance for anyone could stop them now.

There was a brief thought at the back of Saruman's head, the Fusion Fighters that ChaosGallantmon warned him about will try and get in the way of their conquest. When Saruman looks into the Palantir for any of the Fusion Fighters he had discovered nothing, and the Dark Lord Sauron had not given him any information of the Fusion Fighters.

Now with ChaosGallantmon's help, his Commanders and his troops. They will take care of the Fusion Fighters that will try to stop them. And Saruman is aware that they are all scattered all over in the land of Middle Earth.

To long have the Peastants stood against you but no more. Rohan my Lord, is ready to fall. Saruman said in his thoughts to the Dark Lord Sauron.

The Wildmen, the Uruks and the Bagra Army were brutal and swift, they made no effort to be silent. They swarm into Rohan like a black wave the following day, still ready for action and determined to get it. There was possibility of plunder as well as deaths in the sights of the Wildmen, which they charged at them.

The first village they reached never stood a chance. It was a complete massacre. It was a simple farming village, next to the River of Isen and growing what crops they could, but the lives of the people were completely overrun within minutes as the armies surged into their homes. Swords, axes, and spears flashed, clubs bashed or fireballs were fired and the screams called out in the air, with the cries of triumph and roars of the Wildmen, the Bagra Army and the Uruks. Nobody had the time to plead or beg for mercy as they were ransacked, every citizen trampled over or cut down where they lay.

Nobody was spared. Men, women, children, even the animals. It was a bloody slaughter and unfortunately it was also the reality of war. Nobody was safe, the forces of Isengard, Dunland and the Bagra Army all move on where all was left are piles of corpses and the broken, burning remains of the houses that had stood there.

The group of murdering pillagers split off into several smaller groups to scour the countryside of Rohan. Everywhere the story was the same thing. Every single time they encountered a village they would storm in and wreck their bloody havoc against the unsuspecting villagers. Occasionally there would be a one or two of the peasants who would manage to hide themselves away, but even most of those who tried to were found by the Uruks and were killed where they hide.

It was murder, plain and simple.

But the Wildmen, the Uruks and the Bagra Army were all loving it every minute of it. Whether it was from desire for revenge or just because they were enjoying it for their amusement. Every one of them are all monsters. (The Bagra Army consider themselves monsters.)

They swept over the land, going as for the Entwash River and moving across the WestFold of Rohan destroy everything in their wake as they moved south. It was these ransacked places on the side of the river which Deckerdramon, Stingmon and Lilamon all encountered on there way north before they entered the forest of Fangorn and met Treebeard, Gandalf and Shoutmon, later met Agunimon, Kazemon and Dorumon. But the three of them had no idea about the scale of damage which was being brought on the lands around them.

The four leaders of the raiders lead their armies to destroy village after village and burning as they go to the next target. Darlas and Ulric from Dunland enjoyed the slaughtering of defenseless men, women and children and also Zog from Isengard enjoyed it too. But Gokuwmon however didn't found this not amusing. He only want someone strong to fight him, instead they all flee for their lives and he was not satisfied on these attacks.

The Wildmen looted what they could in the villages and took it with them. Many villagers managed to escape from the main attack and fled for their lives into the hills, but the tide followed after them in the wave of destruction that they were causing, forcing them to keep running to stay ahead from them. Many fall when they reached their limit and could go no further, and all who did become more victims of the onslaught from the three armies.

And so the case seemed to be destined to a one particular village, several leagues from the borders of the River of Isen. This village was as unspectacular as any of the others, with only the most amounts of houses or anything that could reliably sustain them but for a small lake nearby, and a few crops and chickens which the people used to feed only themselves.

The village was luckier than most of the others, it was received some warning of the approaching foes. A lone woman dress in green and brown pants with leather armor. She has two light brown pigtail hairs and she has brown eyes. She also wears brown boots. She is armed with two twin axes in each side of her waist. And she is riding a horse as she is trying to get to the village as quickly as possible to warn the villagers of the armies that are coming.

Her name is Morwen W of the Penmark and she is from a village that was last been attack. She was out hunting when the forces of Isengard, Dunland and the Bagra Army had charge into the village and killed everyone she knew, including her parents.

She was not born in Rohan, but she was born in Gondor. She once lived in Osgiliath with her family until she and her parents were banished by Lord Denethor the Steward of Gondor. Because she was to be engaged to a man name Benethor the Captain of Gondor of the Citadel Guard, in the first battle of Osgiliath he had fled from the battle after took a injury from one of the Black Riders. Denethor was displeased of Benethor's cowardice. For his punishment he banished Benethor's fiancee and her parents to Rohan, never to see them again. Morwen W never meet Benethor or even know him.

And now she has lost everything in her home village and she wants revenge from the armies that took her friends and family. But her main concern is to warn the other villages of the tide that is coming. And she wonder what those strange creatures she never seen before are helping the Uruks and Wildmen.

When Morwen W got to the village in time and warn the people about the armies approach. They all began to panic. The people had run into their houses to salvage what they could carry before they made a run for it, women yelling at them to hurry up and trying to calm their children down.

However, in the commotion, there was one other woman who kept her head despite the fear gripping in her heart, and she hurried into motion. Her name is Morwen P, the wife of the village's only huntsman who would go out and try to catch some game to share amongst the community. Because of this, her family was the owner of the only horse in the village, a large black horse name Garulf, and she hurriedly pulled him out of his stable and began preparing him for departure.

But not for herself. There were far more important people who need to evacuate than herself, at least from her personal perspective. As she saddled the horse and checked the reigns while everybody else was still rushing about and are running away, she quickly called to one of her two children.

"Eothain!" She urged. "Eothain!"

A young boy with a long hair hurried over with a hasty packed bag of supplies, a small and very younger girl running behind him. Those two were brother and sister, Morwen's P two children. The two who she loved more than anybody else in the world. The boy was Eothain and the girl, who was a couple years younger than her brother, her name was Freda. Freda also had a small sack of food with her ad they hurried to their mother's side, dodging chickens as they went.

Morwen P wasted no time and grabbed her son, helping to hoist him up into the saddle on the back of the horse. "You take your sister." She instructed, pushing him onto the seat and passing him the bag. "You'll go faster with just two."

"Papa says Eothain must not ride Garulf." Freda protested. And even by horse standards and Eothain's feet couldn't reach the saddle on the horse's back. But Morwen P ignored the young girl's words as they had no time to consider anything else and before the girl even finish speaking she had picked her from beneath the arms and heaved her upwards, Eothain helped to move her onto the saddle in front of him.

"Listen to me!" Morwen P gripped her son's arm urgently, knowing that they were not the first village to come under attack and most certainly would not be the last. "You must ride to Edoras and raise the alarm. Do you understand me?"

"Yes, mama." Eothain nod immediately, his throat tight at the prospect of leaving his mother behind but knowing that there was nothing else he could do and that this was very important. That didn't mean he had to like it though, but he understood what was needed of him.

Freda was more reluctant and her eyes were already full of tears as she leaned over and whimpered. "I don't want to leave. I don't want to go, mama!"

"Freda." Morwen P protested, taking her daughter's face in her hands. "I will find you there." She promised poorly, knowing that her chances of survival were not going to be that good but giving her daughter one last shred of hope and assuring to save herself. She quickly leaned in and kissed Freda's forehead, and at the exact same moment another woman screamed.

Morwen P jerked back and looked out from behind Garulf's body and to her horror she saw the dark tide of Uruks, Wildmen and the strange creatures she never seen before had came up the hill and were on the final approach to the village.

"Quickly!" She cried and spurred the horse forward. Freda sobbed openly while Eothain did his best to hide his own distress and added his efforts. Garulf got the message and began to gallop away, Morwen P stop to watch the black horse taking her two children to safety. Neither of them looked back, knowing that if they did they would only see something they didn't want to know.

"Go child." Morwen P whispered, upset but satisfied that they at least would be safe. Now she had to worry about herself and she had a very good reason to, for the tide of enemies are pouring down the slope with four leading captains in front, with their troops ate waving their weapons and torches, and the panicked villagers all around her fleeing for their lives. Morwen P hurried away, trying to grab at least a couple of chunks of bread before she too had to run.

As for the other Morwen W who warned the villagers. She stands in the middle of the village and had her two twin axes in each hand ready to hold off the enemies back. Trying to but the villagers some time to evacuate the village. She watches as the enemies draw near but she does not know for how long she can hold them back. There are four hundred enemies and she is just one warrior.

The odds are not good for one person and Morwen W can only hope that some miracle that some help would arrive to save them.

Meanwhile in the plains Kumamon was following the trail for hours and tracking the enemies that destroyed a village he found. He was still worried for his friends that are somewhere in this world. He put that aside as he saw something ahead.

When he got closer he found another village and this time he found people in the village alive that are running away. He look and saw the Uruk Hais, Wildmen and to his surprise are Digimon who are in the Bagra Army are attacking the villagers.

"What are the Bagra Army are doing here?" Kumamon question himself. "But why are they helping those men and those ugly creatures to kill the people of this village?" He murmured and as he looks closer to see a woman alone armed with two axes in each hand facing against the army.

"I must get down there and help that warrior by defeating those enemies." He said. "But I must be careful, their will be a powerful Digimon Captain leading a small army."

After that he rush down the hill to help the woman who is holding the enemy back. And to save as many people in the village as he can.

Dorulumon and Gatomon are not sure how far they had wondered. They had spent in the rocky cave all night, Dorulumon didn't smell the horsemen as their scent had faded enough to satisfy him that they were no longer in the area. He and Gatomon both emerged, bursting through the rock pile at the front of the cave. Dorulumon used his tail to drill his way out with Gatomon riding on his back.

"It seems those humans are gone for now." Gatomon said to Dorulumon.

"Yes, but we must not leave any tracks for them to find us." Dorulumon said.

As they see no horsemen in the area Dorulumon and Gatomon moved on, traversing the rocky areas steadily and crossing the more open spaces as quickly as possible to reach for cover again. Dorulumon had experience in not being seen, but he and Gatomon had definitely lost their pursuers for now.

The two Digimon thoughts turned once again to find their friends and they both know they had to find them, but so far Dorulumon hadn't picked up any of their scents from the air or Gatomon hadn't seen anything far away. So they moved as Dorulumon had remembered the old days before he met Mickey, moving wherever the wind took him as he would put it. And right now, they are heading farther north.

They were still traveling by the time the morning came and the sun replaced the moon in the sky, and they had no intention of stopping until they found something of their location of their friends, which led them to continue across the endless plains into the morning, they encountered nobody and nothing along the way until they had almost reached midday. And then a scent caught in Dorulumon's nostrils as he stop. Several scents actually, including those strange animals which he had never seen before, the smell of manure, the smell of fire and the smell of more humans.

Gatomon look down at Dorulumon and wondering why he stop. "Hey Dorulumon, why are you stopping?" She asked the wolf.

"My nose pick something up." He replied to Gatomon. "I can smell more humans somewhere nearby and their is something else?" He said as he smell a new scent that is so familiar, but strange?

When Dorulumon whiff the scent again that is when he knows what it is. He begins to glare and growl.

Gatomon saw his looks and she knows something is wrong. "What is it Dorulumon?" She asked the wolf.

Dorulumon look up to Gatomon and replied. "It's the Bagra Army!"

Gatomon was shock when Dorulumon said it. "But why would the Bagra Army be doing here in this world?" She asked.

"I don't know, but I have a feeling that they are attacking a human settlement." He said as he quickly move forward with Gatomon holding on tight on his back.

"We must hurry before they destroy the humans!" He said as he is following the scent to the settlement.

When the village was attacked, it was just as swift and brutal as all of the others. people who had spent too much time panicking than thinking about what they were supposed to do, or those who had tried to over pack or just been too slow were caught in the village buildings before they had the chance to flee.

For these people, there was no chance of survival. They were set upon and cut down by snarling Uruks, jeering Wildmen and the roaring evil Digimon from the Bagra Army who are all stronger than they were, and killed in mere moments. They were mercilessly kicked, bulled over, slash and bashed where the people fell, ending their lives instantly, and neither of the Uruks, Wildmen and the evil Digimon forces showed any discrimination as to what they were attacking.

The forces of Isengard, Dunland and the Bagra Army stormed into the houses and ransacked the place. Anyone still inside the houses cowered and begged for mercy in the corners but of course there was none. Those that were not killed by the sword were trapped inside while the houses were set on fire, the Uruks letting of cackling snarls as they watched the wooden buildings go up in smoke, whether they had people still inside or not.

They swarmed through the village, screams and roars shouting in the air wherever they went, as the villagers running madly to get away, even as more came over the hill they had come over before. Morwen P was among those villagers, dropping her hastily gathered supplies and running away, a gang of Wildmen and Digimon are less than ten feet behind her as they cut down or bash other stragglers who were not as quick.

It took less than two minutes before practically the whole village was set ablaze and overrun by the forces of Isengard, Dunland and the Bagra Army. Fortunately most of the villagers had managed to take the advantage of the warning and left the village, but followed a mad run from everyone as they fled for their lives, pursued by howling mob as their homes went up in smoke. Morwen P fled along with everyone else, trying to keep a step ahead of the boundless stamina of the Uruks and evil Digimon.

Their only hope now would be to lose their pursuers among the rocky landscape nearby.

And from the edge of the rugged terrain, Eothain and Freda looked back in horror at the scene of devastation which had swept through their village like a wildfire, Garulf skittering nervously at the smell of Uruks in his nostrils. Neither of them could even tell if their mother was still alive, not able to pick her out amongst the fleeing crowd behind them.

But Eothain knew that he couldn't help them now and so, with a sniff and half choke he spurred Garulf on to the best of his ability. The horse was far to large for him but it was well trained and seemed to understand what was being asked for it, complying quickly and entering the rocks, pulling the two children away from everything they knew and heading towards the wilderness. Eothain tried to force everything from his mind and focus on getting to Edoras, but Freda wept openly, almost burying her face in Garulf's mane.

What hope did their mother really have of escaping from that horde? What hope did any of the villagers without a horse have?

Somewhere in the village, a warrior name Morwen W of the Penmark was doing her best to fight off the Uruks, Wildmen and the evil Digimon of the Bagra Army. But there are far to many of them as they kept coming.

She swung her left axe into a Uruk in the chest and she swung her right axe to cut a Wildman's head off. But a Goblimon saw a woman was fighting back, he charge and raised his club to bash her in the head. Morwen W turn and block the club with two axes. She push Goblimon down and brought her right axe down buried deep in Goblimon's chest. Goblimon scream in agony as he begins to be deleted as his body faded from existence.

Morwen W was shock about the enemy she had killed that leaves no body behind. But when she was distracted, a Wildman was about to swing his sword down on Morwen's W head. Until the Wildman was hit by a punch in the face and the punch feels so cold it froze his body in ice.

Morwen W turn to the one who saved her. It was a small white bear in green armor who saved her is Kumamon. Morwen W was not certain what creature he is. But the enemies she saw were strange too and not known to anyone. Her rescuer turn to her and speak.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yes, I am alright, but what are you?" Morwen W asked the strange creature.

"My name is Kumamon the warrior of Ice and I am a Digimon." Kumamon brought his right hand out raise his two fingers up for V for victory as his trademark with a smile.

"But who are the enemies that are with the Uruks and Wildmen?" She asked.

Kumamon look at the evil Digimon and look back to Morwen W. "They are Digimon like me, but they are with a army called the Bagra Army." He answered.

Morwen W never heard of a Digimon before or a evil group called the Bagra Army either. "But which side are you with?" She asked Kumamon suspiciously.

"I am on the side of good and I am hoping that I will join with the Fusion Fighters." He answered.

When Morwen W was about to ask. Kumamon brought out his missile launcher on his shoulder and shouted. "BLIZZARD BLASTER!" As his launcher fired missiles and flew pass Morwen's W head. The missiles hit a Ogremon in the face as the missiles exploded and Ogremon was deleted from existence. When he was about to club Morwen W from behind.

"Can you tell me your name?" He asked as he fired more missiles at the enemies coming at them.

"My name is Morwen W of the Penmark." She said as she swung her two axes at some Wildmen and Uruk Hais as she cut them down.

"We have to kill their leaders." Morwen W explained. "They are leading the raid of the attacks on the villages."

"Then lets go and find them!" Kumamon said as he and Morwen W fight their way through a lot of enemies to protect the villagers and even with the two of them there is no way for them to defeat all the enemies. But they can only hope that help will come.

Dorulumon was running and jumping up across the rocks with Gatomon riding on his back, they wanted to gain higher ground again so they'd have the advantage in a potential confrontation, moving forward swiftly but quietly, as if stalking prey. The smell of human was growing stronger in Dorulumon's nostrils, but there were some foul stench that are unknown to him and the Bagra Army scent is still there, he can smell the scent of smoke and even blood.

Dorulumon was getting a feeling of unease building inside him. It was a old instinct of his, one he had not felt in a long time since he had started living at the castle. It was a sensation that prickle at the back of his neck, as if there was an air of malice close by. Since living in the castle he had not needed that since, nobody had ever attacked. But the instinct had clearly not dulled, and Dorulumon didn't like where this was heading.

Gatomon notice Dorulumon's expression of unease and said. "Is something wrong Dorulumon?" Gatomon asked the wolf.

"I can smell humans are close, however the Bagra Army is there and some foul stench that is unknown to me. I can smell a scent of smoke and blood in the air!" Dorulumon answer with a growl.

Gatomon knows what he meant as she nod with a glare. "All right, but if the humans are endangered, then we must hurry!" Gatomon said as the both of them pressed on, to see their answers.

And soon, they found what they were looking for.

As they came across another rocky rise they have found themselves looking down a small cliff into a shallow gully, one of many in the hilly landscape they'd been traveling for hours on end. What was different about this one was that there was somebody else in it. A large black horse, and a pair of human children who were sitting a stride it, the larger one behind the smaller one.

Dorulumon and Gatomon both couldn't stop their small smiles spreading out on their faces. Children were the kind of humans that Dorulumon was most use to, but never spoken to an adult human before yesterday. This was something he and Gatomon both could work with. And those children certainly didn't look up to attack him or Gatomon. The boy looked to be the same age, or perhaps even a little younger than Ewan had been. The girl was the smallest human he and Gatomon had ever seen in their lives, and the fact she was sitting on a massive horse made the difference all more noticeable. Seeing the two of them did bring Dorulumon back some fond memories, that he had to admit.

Regardless, he didn't really have time to dwell on the past and must focus. The children were entering through the gully at a reasonable pace and both Dorulumon and Gatomon certainly didn't want to chase after them, that wouldn't go very well. Nor did they want to jump down and land in front of them. That would definitely look like a surprise attack. And the two Digimon need to talk to these children, not scare them.

Dorulumon look up to Gatomon. "We need to get their attention Gatomon." He said to the cat Digimon.

"We must not scare them away." Gatomon warned with a nod. "We need them to tell us where are we at."

"Their coming." Dorulumon quietly said to Gatomon as they saw the children on a big horse are coming towards them.

So, they both backed out of sight before the children could see and they ride off further down the edge of the gully until Dorulumon and Gatomon both reached a corner not far away where they would be out of sight. In two swift movements they were at the bottom and they turned to face the direction they would appear from, Dorulumon was sitting down and Gatomon was standing next to him and were trying to not look all threatening.

It only took about five seconds for the horse to round the corner and when it saw and smelled both Dorulumon and Gatomon it immediately pulled into a halt with a shrill nicker and tried to back away. The children were jerked out of whatever thoughts they had, but before either one of them could wonder what was wrong, both of them laid eyes on the problem in front of them. Standing before them was a strange white and orange wolf that looks similar to a Warg and a white cat that stands on two feet.

"Hello humans." Dorulumon said lamely, not really sure what he was meant to say in a situation like this.

Gatomon look down at Dorulumon with a brow raise oddly. She thought, Is this the best answer he had to say?

"It's a Warg and a strange cat!" The girl screamed before Dorulumon could say any further. "They are going to eat us!"

"We're going to what?" Dorulumon blinked and while Gatomon was confused.

"Quick, let's get out of here!" The boy cried and steered the horse the other way to the best of his ability, which wasn't much but the horse was too happy to move away.

"Well, so much for that." Dorulumon growled as he stood up.

"Well it seems they don't want to talk to us. But why do they think you are some Warg creature they don't like so much?" Gatomon said to her friend.

Dorulumon look up to Gatomon and said. "I don't know Gatomon." He replied. "Whatever the heck the Warg they are talking about is supposed to be not very friendly to these people."

"We need to catch up with them." Gatomon urge him.

Dorulumon nod and he immediately run off after the two fleeing children.

"They are coming after us!" The girl wailed, pressing herself against the horse's neck.

"Hey! will you get back here?" Dorulumon yelled, which was probably not the best choice of words.

"We mean you no harm, we just want to talk!" Gatomon yelled them to stop.

"Run Garulf, run!" The boy shouted, kicking at the horse desperately. The horse was fast and was getting faster with each passing second but Dorulumon was far from being slow himself. He quickly poured all his energy into his leg muscles and hurled himself forward with Gatomon who is holding on Dorulumon's back. He springing straight over a boulder and running after the panicked horse.

The two children were terrified out of their minds. Neither of them had ever actually encountered a Warg or a strange cat who is riding on it, but they had heard what happened to people who were cornered by Wargs and it was never pleasant. Dorulumon rapidly gaining and pouring all his efforts into increasing the horse's pace, but the horse and springing to land in a skidding halt in front of it.

The horse gave a high pitched squeal and reached up, batting the air with it's legs but not getting them near Dorulumon and Gatomon. The boy managed to hold on to the saddle but the girl's scream mingled with the horse as she lost her grip and was flung off before the boy could grab her, though he tried to grab her as she fell past.

The girl was about to land on a boulder to her face.

Dorulumon's instinct went into overdrive and with Gatomon holding on as Dorulumon hurled himself forward, his back legs throwing him through the air like a pair of springs and catapulting past the horse. All the girl saw a split second of her being flung through the air was a huge set of claws and sabre teeth lunging at her, but she didn't even have time to scream again before Dorulumon and Gatomon were on her. The wolf Digimon seized her by the back of her rough shirt and jerked her aside, his own shoulder crashing into the boulder in the girl's place of her head as she hung from his jaws. He grunted and winced, knowing that it would ache for a while, but he had far worse injuries than that in the past.

The girl was still screaming her head off, kicking her feet as she hung from Dorulumon's teeth, but Dorulumon and Gatomon both rolled their eyes and the wolf step away from the rock and gently placed the girl back on the ground, letting her go and stepping away. The girl seemed surprised to be standing and not mauled to pieces, but she still hurried back towards the boy and the horse, which was decidedly far from calm and kept bucking its head.

The boy, on the other hand, was staring at both Dorulumon and Gatomon practically slack jawed. "You're welcome." Dorulumon sniffed, trying to inspect his shoulder.

"Are you okay Dorulumon?" Gatomon looked down and asked if he is alright. "Is your shoulder alright?"

"I'm fine Gatomon." He assured her. "Just a little sore, but I will be fine."

"You... saved my sister's life?" The boy asked, still stunned out of his mind.

"Of course." Dorulumon rolled his eyes. "Though that we seemed to be in a foreign concept to the humans in this area. We've had nothing but people pointing spears at us since we found ourselves here. Or running away from us in the case you two. We were under the impression that your kind are more level headed than that. Apparently we are wrong."

Both the girl and boy were now staring at Dorulumon and Gatomon in absolute bewilderment.

"Still planning on running off?" Gatomon was next to speak.

"Uh... Well..." The boy stuttered, trying and failing to take some control back from this situation. "But... but you are a Warg and you are a strange cat creature, aren't you both?" The boy turn to Dorulumon. "We've heard stories about your kind, but never seen a cat creature like her before. Everyone says that you're both vicious and savage creatures will tear down horses and feast on their carcasses. They say that you both make friends with Orcs and go with them into battle. They say that your packs sometimes storm a village if they think it's not protected enough. And there are stories of your kind sneaking into people's houses in the night."

"I've heard them too." The girl nod, stepping closer to the nervous horse and still very scared of the two newcomers. "Why did you let me go? Aren't you two planning on eating me?"

Gatomon was holding back her laugh with her paw to cover her mouth and Dorulumon growled. "Look kids. I don't know what other kinds of wild stories you've been told in your thoughts about these Warg creatures, but I can assure you that I am not one of them. I am most certainly not a Warg, unless a Warg happens to be a lupine creature with orange fur, saber teeth and with drills on their forehead and tail. I don't know why all humans I've met recently have been claiming I am a Warg, but they are wrong."

"And people think I am a strange cat creature." Gatomon added sarcastically.

"You're not a Warg?" The boy asked.

"That is what I just said." Dorulumon repeated slowly. "Not a Warg. My friend is not a cat creature. We are both Digimon. You have nothing to fear from us. You would not catch me and my friend doing any of those things which you ran off earlier."

"How can you both be Digimon of the same race?" The boy asked them.

"Careful brother. They are trying to trick us." The girl whimpered. "I heard stories that some Wargs were really cunning."

"What possible reason could we have for trying to trick you?" Dorulumon raised an eyebrow. "If we wanted to kill you, we could have done so many times during this conversation. And we wouldn't have stopped you from hurting yourself, human girl. Is that the sort of thing that a Warg like me or a strange cat like her to do that."

The brother and sister looked at each other, uncertainly, and the horse seemed to be no better, it was still skittish and fighting the urge to bolt. Dorulumon and Gatomon looked at each other and sighed.

"Look." Gatomon was next to speak. "All we want to do is talk. We have few questions that need answers. After you answer them to the best of your ability we will leave and you'll never see anything like us again in your lives, I can assure you."

The boy was pondering. Now that his sister had fallen off and pushed her up, and if he did that then getting back I. himself would be very hard. Plus, this wolf creature had proven to be faster than the horse and the cat creature that rode on the wolf seem to be capable to defend herself. There was no way they could get away from them if they really wanted to do them harm.

Maybe they are telling the truth.

"Um..." The boy said.

"You really saved my life?" The girl muttered. "Just because you two could do it?"

Dorulumon's muzzle twisted into a lupine smirk. "It seems that I have a certain soft spot for kids. No matter what species they belong to. First Cutemon, then Mikey and the others. Now you too. What's next, I wonder. And yes, I did. There was the fact that it was our fault you were thrown off from your horse anyway too, but even if it hadn't been then I would have done. Do my friend and I sound like vicious killers to you?"

"No." The girl shook her head, moving away from the horse slightly and stepping closer, she is still very afraid. "Um... My name is Freda and this is my brother Eothain."

"Ah, names." Gatomon chuckled. "Now we are getting somewhere. My name is Gatomon and my friend here name is Dorulumon."

"Those are weird names." Eothain blinked.

"And that's subjective." Dorulumon replied. "Now, are you going to let us ask our questions or not?"

The boy, Eothain, suddenly shook his head. "We... we can't. We don't have time."

Gatomon raised her brow and asked. "What do you mean?"

The boy answered. "We've got to get to the city of Edoras and warn the King. We just escape from our village, it was being attacked by Orcs, Wildmen and strange creatures we never seen before. Everyone's running for their lives. We had to leave our mother back there and she might even be dead by now..."

The words caught in Eothain's throat. He was choking up at the thought of abandoning his mother to die, but the other reason was that he had faltered at the looks which had crossed the two Digimon's face. Dorulumon's eyes had widened and his pupils shrunk, blazing with anger as a furious looking snarl appearing on his jaws and as for Gatomon she was glaring at what the boy said to them.

Freda squeaked and backed away and Garulf the horse nickered again, but both Dorulumon and Gatomon ignored them and Dorulumon said. "Your village was attacked?"

"It's... it's probably still being attacked." Eothain stammered out.

Images were flashing through Dorulumon's head now, as he remembered his meeting with Cutemon. The circumstances had been rather different but Cutemon's village had also been attacked, by the Bagra Army that Dorulumon himself had once been a member. Cutemon had been separated from his parents, because they had put him in a boat and push him to safety before they were caught.

And these children had just been separated from their mother who had sent them away on a horse so they would be safe, leaving herself behind. Dorulumon might not had been a part of this attacking army in the past, but other than that the situation was almost identical.

Except for one thing.

He and Cutemon have arrived far too late to save Cutemon's parents, but Dorulumon help Cutemon to find his parents.

For Gatomon, her village has never been attacked by the Bagra Army. They have yet to find her hidden village. However she heard tales how the Bagra Army attack the villages all over the Digital World in each Zones. For how they destroy villages and then they capture to enslave the Digimon made her angry.

"Show us!" Dorulumon snarled. "Take us back to your village. We'll see if I have anything to say about these attackers."

"And I will show them a piece of my mind too." Gatomon growled.

The village itself was already lost, reduced to little more than a pillar of smoke and a smouldering ruin. None of its residents were still there and alive and now the large number of survivors fled towards the rocks at their top speed. Many of them were weighed down by the provisions they had tried to snatch up, and most were sensible enough to drop those provisions and increase their speed.

But still the endurance of the Uruk Hais, Wildmen and the Bagra Army are strong. They were built for this and as they charge after the scattered villagers they quickly gained ground, until the fleeing villagers were slain from behind as they attempted to flee.

Behind the army that are chasing the villagers are four Captains that are leading the army giving out orders to their troops.

"Chase them down to the rocks and kill them all!" Darlas ordered.

"Leave none alive!" Ulric shout.

"Make sure no one escapes!" Zog shout.

"It's time to end this little game of cat and mouse chase." Gokuwmon said with a bored expression. He find his victims are no fighters as he sees them fleeing, he brought his hand forward and direct his Digimon forces to give chase.

Morwen P was a fast runner, which had allowed her to stay ahead of the horde and even pull away from them a little as they slowed to kill the villagers who were not quick enough, but she still knew she had to reach the rocks if she and the other villagers all around her quickly headed in amongst the rocks, all running down the ravine in a mad run for their lives.

The Uruks and the evil Digimon followed, closely followed by the yelling Wildmen. The three armies had now tasted blood and the fires within them were still burning bright, determined for more death and destruction, making sure to spare no one and eager to kill every villagers.

Morwen P was still satisfied. Even if she was cut down here today, at least her children would be safe, on their way to Edoras faster than the Uruks and evil Digimon could try to follow. That is when a Ogremon jump over in front of her to block her escape. He raised his bone club ready to bring it down on her head. Morwen P close her eyes ready to meet her death.

But then something happened. Morwen P heard and open her eyes only to see a small white bear appear and shout out.

"Hey ugly, why don't you pick on someone your own size!" Kumamon yelled and as he took a deep breath and shout. "CRYSTAL BREEZE!" He blow out a cold frost breath and froze up Ogremon into ice. Ogremon than began to be deleted leaving no body behind.

Both the villagers and the evil army both stop to see what the white bear just did. Kumamon turn to Morwen P and said. "Are you alright?" He asked.

"I am now." Morwen P replied and heard someone else yelled in pain and was cut down. She turn and see what surprise her, it was a woman with two twin axes in each hand cut down a Wildman. She run and stand next to Kumamon ready to cut down the next enemy who dare to approach them. The villagers were shock to see a woman and a white bear are trying to protect them from the invaders.

That is when Morwen P heard a galap with a look of surprise to turn behind her. She panic when she spotted Garulf rounding a corner, both her children clinging to the saddle on his back and are heading back towards her. This is not what she had wanted. She wanted to keep them safe.

"Eothain!" She screamed. "Freda! What are you doing? Go! Get out of here and warn the King! Please, leave!"

"Mama!" Cried Freda. "Your alright!"

"I told you to go!" Morwen P was yelling, running at them with arms waving. She rarely raised her voice to her children but this was not the time for gentle words right now.

"But we brought help." Eothain shouted. "We found two people who can help us against them!"

Most of the villagers around didn't hear them, they were still full of fear. But what happened next definitely got their attention, a loud howling noise broke through the air. Everybody faltered out of fear and surprise, even the Uruks, Wildmen and the Bagra Army pulled to a stop bewildered. For the woman warrior was shock and as for the white bear the howling he heard was so familiar to him.

"Are they the ones?" A female voice ask.

"Uh-huh." Freda nod. "Can you two beat them?"

"I have never tested myself against their kind, so I cannot say for sure." said another voice that is male, then two shadows appeared at the top of the edge of the ravine. "However, I can certainly intend to make them regret for their decision to invade your lands, especially those evil Digimon who are in the Bagra Army will get no mercy from us."

"Warg!" Cried a villager. "A strange cat creature!" Another villager cried fearfully, pointing up towards the two shadows and there was a ripple of terror through the crowd as they took in the sight above them. But before they could start panicking and continue to keep running, the Warg and cat both chuckled.

"Again with the Warg thing." Dorulumon said.

"You people should know a difference between a Warg and a wolf." Gatomon said, the two of them jump down across the clifftop and landed straight in the gap between the villagers and the enemy army, holding their ground and glaring at the Uruks, Wildmen and mostly at the Bagra Army.

Morwen W don't know what to make of those two creatures whatever they are allies or enemies.

But Kumamon on the other hand knows who they are. "It's Dorulumon and Gatomon!" Kumamon smiled. "Don't worry they are here to help. We should join up with them to protect the villagers."

Morwen W looks down at Kumamon to see that those two Digimon are on their side. She nod to Kumamon as the two rush in to stand alongside with Dorulumon and Gatomon.

Dorulumon and Gatomon were both surprised to see a Digimon helping to protect the villagers. However they don't seem to recognize Kumamon being part of the Fusion Fighters, but they can tell he is a ally who what to protect the people of the village.

A moment later more enemy troops arrived along with four enemy Captains who are leading them were all shock to see three strange creatures and a woman who is a warrior fighting back. The four Captains glared at them.

"Who are those three strange creatures?" Ulric growls.

"Why is a woman fighting back against us?" Darlas sneer. "She should be running like the other villagers."

"They dare to stand in our way." Zog snarled. "A Warg, a cat, a white bear and a woman all facing against our army of three hundred."

Three of them were about to charge with their army, but Gokuwmon called out. "Hold it!"

The three Captains stop in their tracks and turn to the Bagra Captain. "What is it, Gokuwmon?" Darlas asked as he looks annoyed.

"Because I know who those three creatures are." Gokuwmon answer. "The Warg you all looking at is Dorulumon, he is a member of the Fusion Fighters. He use to be in the Bagra Army before he turn traitor and join with the Fusion Fighters." Gokuwmon explain and continued. "The other two are Gatomon the cat and Kumamon the bear who are with Dorulumon are all Digimon like us."

The three Captains look at the monkey Digimon and they all seem to ignore his advice. "Those so called Digimon Fusion Fighters will all fall just the same as those villagers!" Darlas said as he is ready to charge at the four warriors.

"There are only four of them against three hundred of us!" Ulric said turning to his troops. "Get them!" The Wildmen and Uruks both charge while the evil Digimon did not move because they all know of how Dorulumon is capable of.

"Tell us." Dorulumon said as the drill on his tail began to spin and grow bigger. While Gotomon's eyes began to glow ready to start her attack and as for Kumamon he brought his missile launcher on his shoulder ready to shoot. "Can a Warg, a cat and a bear do this?"

Dorulumon sprang into the air, swinging his tail drill beneath him so the point touched the ground. It was now big enough for him to actually stand on the base and as he landed there the drill whirled him into a spin as he roared. "SPIRO DRILL!"

For Gatomon her eyes flash as she yelled. "CAT LASER!"

And Kumamon fired his missiles and yelled. "BLIZZARD BLASTER!"

Neither the Uruks or the Wildmen had any warning. They were in the ravine, they were not able to dodge when the enormous whirling drill barreled towards them along with a barrage of lasers and missiles hit them, shattering bones, weapons even blowing them up and blasted by lasers. They were all thrown in all directions, into the rocky walls around them or tossing them in the air over the top of the enemies heads. After the display of the strength of Dorulumon, Gatomon and Kumamon. And those who were lucky were out of their range at the edges of the ravine.

The villagers were all stunned. They had been fleeing for their lives and Morwen W was also stunned too to see such power of those three Digimon possess. Now she and the villagers could do now is to watch, Morwen W must still be on guard and lookout for enemies that might slip past them to get to the villagers.

Dorulumon threw himself off his drill and still spinning, whipped it around into a group of Uruks before they had the time to scream. When it did and he landed on all fours with his drill at normal size he bounded forwards and slammed his paws into the chests of two Uruks to bowl them over, crushing them into the ground and leaping over their bodies, stepping on their heads with his back feet, then he seize a Wildman by the arm with his vicious teeth.

The Wildman yelled Dorulumon toss him aside like a doll with a jerk of his head to fling him into many others, swing his tail around at the same time to smack an Uruk in the head so hard his helmet was dented. He lunged forward again with a lash of his claws that swept the legs out from a couple more Wildmen and then jump himself away, bounding a tight corner to ram three more Wildmen at the other end of the ravine.

Gatomon charge with all fours at two Uruks ready to cut her down. She jump into the air and used Lightning Kick to kick the Uruk in the face send him crashing into the rocky wall. The other Uruk raise his sword up ready to bring it down on Gatomon's head. But she block it with one of her claws and she finish him off with her other claw to slash him in the chest.

Kumamon still remain on guard with Morwen W to protect the villagers from the enemies that get to close. Kumamon took a deep breath and blow out his Crystal Breeze to freeze up the ground in ice causing some Uruks and Wildmen to slip on the frozen ground to stop them in their tracks.

All this happened before the Uruks and Wildmen could even understand what is going on, the speed of Dorulumon's strike, the close range combat of Gatomon and the range of Kumamon's missile launcher. But the Uruks and Wildmen all managed to pull themselves together, Dorulumon and Gatomon bound away, back where they had came and through the gap Dorulumon had made with his Spiro Drill. They wheeled around again when they are standing in the same place as they had attack and face down the enemy once again.

"That is a warning." Dorulumon said. "I will not get my claws dirty fighting against humans. However if you continue to harm and chase these people we will be forced to act further."

"Just give up now or we will be forced to end your lives." Gatomon said.

"Turn back now and we may let you go." Kumamon said.

"No Warg, cat or bear will tell us what to do." Snarled Zog the Captain of the Uruk Hai. "We are fighting Uruk Hai. We will not flee in front of four enemies."

"And we will not back down." Dorulumon informed him, his tone dropping to a more dangerous one. "There was a time when I was the oppressor of weaker lifeforms. I have walked in the same boots that you now wear and I was also a former member of the Bagra Army you guys join forces with. But now my role has changed. As a Digimon of the Fusion Fighters, I will no longer turn my back on the suffering of others. But these people are innocents, and we will protect them to our dying breath if you all force our hand."

"Well said, Dorulumon." Gatomon nod.

"Then you all shall protect them to your dying breath indeed." Darlas snarled. "But your deaths will be quick that won't be for very long."

"It would be unwise for all of you to underestimate us. You've already seen what we can do." Gatomon gave them a warning.

"You all caught us off guard. "Ulric cried out.

"True." Dorulumon said. "I can see that you are all beyond reason, but I thought it is best to at least give all of you a chance. That is what my former General would have done. But..." His eyes narrowed. "I was rather hoping that you all would decline my offer. I saw the damage you all have done over the village. You are all even worse than those Bagra Army over there." He turn to the evil Digimon and back to the Uruks and Wildmen. "You all have slaughtered dozens, burning them alive inside their homes and destroyed their livelihoods. I imagine many of those behind me have lost loved ones today because of all of you. Do not expect me or my two friends to go easy on all of you."

There was an unsteady silence from the group from Isengard, Dunland and Bagra as Dorulumon, Gatomon, Kumamon and Morwen W all stand ready for combat. But then Zog let loose a roar, bearing his fangs and pounding his chest. "It's just the four of them! We are the forces of the White Hand! We will not retreat from a wolf, a cat, a bear and a woman! Get them! Kill them! We will feast on their flesh tonight!"

As for Gokuwmon, he shook himself and turn to his own forces. "What are you all standing there! Get those Fusion Fighters and for who ever kills the traitor Dorulumon will be my second in command!" He ordered.

The three groups let loose their war cry and all charged forward, waving their weapons.

"So be it." Dorulumon smirked, turn to Gatomon and Kumamon to nod each of them. He turn back to the enemy forces. "I gave all of you a chance and yet you all failed to take it. My friends and I can't be held responsible for what happens next, but I won't regret it."

Dorulumon stands his ground without moving and he shout. "DRILL BUSTER!" He fired a drill out of his forehead. It shot across the gap between him and the enemy and it struck a Uruk in the chest, burying past his armor to howl a screech of pain and hitting with a force that he was blown backwards, then the drill exploded moments later.

The Uruks and Wildmen all faltered, while the Bagra Army are still charging and are not stopping. Gatomon and Kumamon stop them in their tracks.

"Let's see how you guys stand on ice." Kumamon said as he took a deep breath and shout. "CRYSTAL BREEZE!" He blow to the ground freezing the ground in ice. The Bagra Army all slip on the ice as they can't stand to keep their balance.

That is when Gatomon is going to finish them off. "Time to end all of you." Her eyes began to glow and shout. "CAT LASER!" She fired lasers out of her eyes at a group of Goblimons and Shamanmons as all of them were hit and they all turn to data from existence.

The Uruks and Wildmen were all shock to see their Digimon allies are destroyed as they are still standing there. Dorulumon grown out another drill on his headset and fired another drill to slam into a Wildman's thigh. Suddenly the Uruks and Wildmen were being bombarded by spinning drills were swarmed down the ravine and cannon into them. Dorulumon was firing about seven drills from his forehead every second, scattering them across the ravine to batter down the whole group, dropping the first few rows where they stood.

The villagers watched slack jawed as Dorulumon, Gatomon and Kumamon all laid the enemy low with pinpoint accuracy and without even moving their feet an inch. A low growl was emanating from Dorulumon's throat as he continued his attack mercilessly.

But the Uruks and Wildmen troops were not beaten yet, and with cries of rage they charge forward into the Drill Buster swarm. Some of them raised their swords and were lucky enough to knock the drills aside but most of them were still mown down by the assault. That didn't falter them, still determined as they were to succeed, and they pressed forward trying to get close to the three Digimon and the woman with sheer numbers.

Dorulumon shifted his hind legs. Too late for the enemy to notice two extra set of drills that he had on each of his back legs and suddenly they too punched themselves outward in flurries of motion. Gatomon help Dorulumon with her Cat Laser fired from her eyes in rapid lasers. The screams and cries filled the air as the drills and lasers rained down on the enemy like volley of arrows from hell, each person getting within range slammed by at least five drills or four lasers before they could even think.

Dorulumon had to admit though that the terrain was mostly working out for them in this fight. In a narrow space they had the advantage. In a wider area they would be having more trouble, because the enemy would be able to separate and come at them from many angles than the front.

But that didn't make what Dorulumon was doing now any less awesome really.

Eventually both Gatomon and Dorulumon stop their attacks they had unleashed, allowing them to look at the damage that they had done. It was a devastation. The Uruks and Wildmen are lying dead and some wounded everywhere, littering the ravine with their bodies all over the place, sprawling across the ground limp and some of them groaning. There were no drills lying about, they'd all exploded or vanished the moment they were no longer useful.

There were still a very large portion of Uruks and Wildmen and the Bagra Army is down by half their numbers are left crowding together not far away, looking in shock at their defeated comrades.

"Monsters!" Ulric shout. "They are all monsters!"

"Monsters, are we?" Dorulumon chuckled. "Well, technically yes, I suppose we are. Were Digital Monsters to be precise. But in other sense of the word, it is you guys who are the monsters, especially the Bagra Army who gave Digimon a bad name. Killing people because it's fun, slaughtering the innocent, there can be no better definition of the term. We have seen enough of your kind in the past. And there is no place in any world for you all."

The Uruks, Wildmen and the Bagra forces are all starting to look nervous now, though it was difficult to see the expressions of the Uruks that wore helmets on. Not many of them had brought any crossbows with them, they preferred the thought of getting much closer to their opponents in order to kill them off. However, there were a few Uruks with crossbows within their ranks and there was a quick muttering as their four Captains came up with a plan to counter attack.

"We must get to those villagers while the wolf and cat are distracted." Ulric muttered to the three Captains.

"I will lead a small force to cross through the ravine maze to get around and attack them from behind while they are more focus in the front." Darlas suggested his plan.

"That could work, but you need to get past the bear and the woman first." Gokuwmon pointed out.

"What could a woman and a bear do to stop us?" Zog scoff with a growl.

"Don't underestimate them." Gokuwmon warned them. "They seem like good fighters and they are very capable to take on a small group. I will lend half of my Ogremons and Apemons to help destroy them." As he said those words the three Captains nod.

"I will go now, just try to distract them." Darlas said as he lead a small group of Uruks Wildmen and evil Digimon to get around the four heroes to get to the villagers by surprise.

The three Captains and their remaining forces turn to the front to face Dorulumon and Gatomon the two members of the Fusion Fighters both remain on guard.

"Now then." Dorulumon snarl. "Does anyone else feel like trying to fight me?"

"Or who what's to face me as well?" Gatomon added. "My claws are sharpen for some action."

"You won't escape the wrath of Saruman!" Ulric yelled.

Zog join in. "He will hunt you all down and destroy you all. No place will be safe from the White Wizard or the Dark Lord in the East!" Zog shouted.

"Including my General ChaosGallantmon and my Master Lord Bagramon!" Gokuwmon added.

The three Digimon were all shock to hear that Bagramon has return. Dorulumon was there when Bagramon was defeated seven years ago. He, Gatomon and Kumamon all shook it off as they'd ready themselves for battle.

"We'll be sure to say hello to both Saruman and this Dark Lord before we will be done with them. And as for the General ChaosGallantmon he will be defeated by us very soon, especially Bagramon himself. We defeated him once, we will do it again." Dorulumon said. He sees some Uruks close to the rear getting their crossbows out in position, and he responded by enlarging the drill on the end of his tail again. "But I'm afraid all I have to say to you is goodbye."

"It seems that I can join in the fun to claw at my enemies." Gatomon smirked as she raised her claws ready to strike.

"Get them!, Kill them!" Zog roar his command to his Uruks with crossbows all roared and fired their crossbow bolts through the air towards Dorulumon, Gatomon, Kumamon, the Woman and the villagers who were still standing behind them. The villagers screamed, ducked or cowered, but Dorulumon's tail drill was already spinning, and he had raised it over his head to direct it at the enemy like a gun. As the crossbows the Uruks fired, Dorulumon's rapidly spinning tail let rip too. "DRILL TORNADO!" He shouted.

All the villagers and enemies watched in jaw dropping astonishment as a cyclone of wind gushed out from the tail drill and blow pass Dorulumon's head to fill the ravine. The crossbow bolts were caught in the tornado and were then toss away in all directions like toothpicks, however one of them was about to hit to Dorulumon's face. Then Gatomon ran and jump in front of him and she use one of her claws to knock the bolt aside. Gatomon turn to Dorulumon and nod to him. Dorulumon nod back to her as they turn back to their enemies.

The tornado blow over the remaining enemies like a flood and hit them much harder than any ordinary wind would be able to. It felt like each of them had been slammed into like a brick wall, knocking many of the Uruks and Wildmen unconscious and the evil Digimon were destroyed from the sheer impact alone. But the biggest result was the tornado almost literally scooped up over fifty of them in one swoop and hauled them into the sky, crashing against one another. It simultaneously tossed several of the corpses of the dead upwards as well, scattering the bodies all over the place and the rest of the evil Digimon turn into data that leaves no bodies behind.

Those who were fortunate enough not to get hit by the attack either finally get the message and turned to run, trampling over one another in their haste to escape from the demon wolf and cat which had brought fear into their lives.

However Zog and Ulric both shouted at their forces not to retreat from the wolf and cat, they tell them to turn and fight them. While Gokuwmon just signed as he got his few remaining Ogremons and Apemons standing next to him.

He turn to his two fellow Captains. "We will have to face the wolf and cat with all of our remaining forces to destroy them and the villagers. Darlas should have attack them from behind by now." He said. as they gather their troops to prepare to change as they hide behind some rocks. They have lost about half of their troops. some are dead, while others had fled for their lives.

Dorulumon and Gatomon both nod to each other as they routed the enemy forces, but didn't see the remaining enemies lead by three Captains hiding behind a bunch of rocks. The two Digimon both managed to drive the enemy back, especially facing the Bagra Army.

The troops who are running away from the fight. Both Dorulumon and Gatomon decided to let them go. Chasing after and hunting them down survivors was a waste of time. The enemy will more likely return to cause more trouble once more, but Dorulumon and Gatomon had to protect the villagers along with the help of Kumamon and Morwen W.

How was that, Cutemon? Dorulumon thought to himself. I couldn't protect your village but I protected this one. Or at least its inhabitants.

He and Gatomon both turned around to face the villagers. Most of them were looking at them with expressions of fear and awe. The villagers had just seen just how capable they are and knew escape was impossible especially the bear. Many of them were scared enough to think the three Digimon had fought all the Uruks, Wildmen and the Bagra Army to keep them away from them.

"You have nothing to fear from us." Gatomon told them before they said anything.

"We do not pick on those weaker than they are like your aggressors do. And before you say anything on the matter, I am not a Warg, she is not a strange cat creature and he is not a bear. We are Digimon. There is a difference. We are not sure exactly what that difference is, but I assure you it's there." Dorulumon explained.

"You did it, Dorulumon, Gatomon!" Freda cheered. "You two have beat them all."

Dorulumon chuckled. "It's was our pleasure. We have many reasons for wanting to beat up people like them, especially those evil Digimon."

"You three will not harm us?" One of the women asked timidly.

"I just said that we wouldn't, didn't I?" Dorulumon sighed. "Sometimes I think you humans have hearing problems."

"I agree with you there, Dorulumon." Gatomon nod in agreement.

"What is a human?" A older man who was so sure that he would definitely be dead if Dorulumon, Gatomon and Kumamon hadn't help.

"What is a...?" Dorulumon blinked. "Excuse me? You don't know what...?"

A short scream cut him off and both Dorulumon and Gatomon both turn to see a man and woman fall back as a Uruk Hai leapt out of the ravine entrance and took a swing at them with his sword. Dorulumon cursed, he should of known there were more places for Uruks, Wildmen and the Bagra Army to attack in any place. Some of them in the back had probably got impatient and tried to find another way in.

He and Gatomon don't have to worry to defend the villagers. Morwen W and Kumamon both got that covered as they were defending the villagers. Morwen W rush at the Uruk and used one of her axes to cleave his chest and was brought down. They see a small group of Uruks, Wildmen and some evil Digimon are being lead by a man name Darlas who is leading a small force.

"Kill them all!" Darlas shouted to his troops as they charge. Two Wildmen have climbed up the rocks and brought out their bows to draw their arrows to shoot the villagers.

But Kumamon used his Blizzard Blaster to fire two missiles to blast the two Wildmen on the rocks as they were to fire their arrows. Kumamon turn to the rest of the charging army. "Ready or not here I come!" He said as he summoned his two snow skies on his feet and charge at them, then jump in the air to do a V Jump Attack as he knock most of the Wildmen, Uruks and the evil Digimon.

Morwen W charge after Kumamon as she cut down Wildmen, Uruks and evil Digimon in her path until she reach to the Wildmen name Darlas who was in charge of a small force.

"You dare to stand in my way woman!" Darlas sneer at Morwen W. "You will pay for getting in my way along with that snow bear!" He said as he draws his sword out ready to cut down the woman.

Morwen W glare at Darlas as she had her two axes at the ready. "You and your forces will pay for destroying my village and killed my family! I will show you no mercy!" She said as she charge at Darlas to swing one of her axes.

Darlas dodge the swinging axe and he counter with a swing of his sword to cut down Morwen W. Morwen W block the sword with her other axe and swings her other axe as she managed to leave a cut on his left cheek with blood spilling on his face.

Darlas use his left hand to touch his left side of his face. When he look at his left hand cover by his blood, he was yelling in fury at Morwen W. "Curse you woman. I will kill you and everyone of the people of Rohan to burn in flames." He said as he charge to swing his sword to try to cut Morwen's W head off.

Morwen W easily block it and batted Darlas' sword out of his hand. "My blades will strike you down!" She said as she used her two axes to slash both downwards into a X slash at Darlas chest as he was cut down as he bleed on the ground.

"Curse you... woman... My people will finish you off." Darlas said his last words as he choke and died to his last breath. The Wildmen saw their leader Darlas has been slain by Morwen W. They all yelled in rage as they all charge at Morwen W.

But Kumamon jump in front of Morwen W and he shout. "CRYSTAL BREEZE!" He used his frosted breath to freeze them in ice like statues. Then Kumamon finish them off by jumping in the air and turning his lower body into a big icicle by shouting "ICICLE FALL!" He drop down and smash them into a million pieces.

The Wildmen were defeated only a few Uruks and evil Digimon remain. The Uruks refused to retreat as they all charge at the two warriors. Morwen W swung her axes by cutting down four Uruks. While Kumamon finish off the Uruks by using his fist as it glowed he shout. "ICICLE PUNCH!" He punch the Uruks as his fist touch them they were all frozen in ice. And Morwen W finish them off by swinging her axes by shattering them in pieces. The only enemies left are the evil Digimon. They all saw what happen to their allies and that a woman and the Ice Spirit Warrior have defeated all the Uruks, Wildmen and the evil Digimon by themselves. The few remaining enemies all turn around and fled from the battle.

While Ulric, Zog and Gokuwmon all watch as they saw Darlas and his forces were defeated by a woman and a bear.

Ulric was furious to see his fellow Captain to be slain by a woman. "Damn you, you will pay for getting in our way!" He shouted as he and Zog both charge with the remain of their forces at the three Digimon and Morwen W. As for Gokuwmon he sigh as he knows his two fellow Captains are going to rush in to their deaths. He turn to his few remaining troops as he ordered them to charge when he and his Bagra troops are going to defeat the four heroes who are standing in their way.

Dorulumon sees the remaining enemies are coming for one last assault to kill them and the villagers. He turn to the villagers and yelled. "This is not the place to stand. Get to safety! We will follow when we deal with these stragglers!"

The villagers didn't need to be told twice and fled deeper into the rocky maze, Morwen P running up beside Garulf and her children to guide them further in with the other villagers. Gatomon, Kumamon and Morwen W all stand behind Dorulumon as the wolf growled and fired two drills to kill two Wildmen who had bows to try shooting at the fleeing villagers.

"We will not let you pass." Dorulumon growled as Morwen W, Kumamon and Gatomon all charge at the enemy forces. Morwen W used her two axes to cut down Wildmen and Uruks in her path as many fall to her twin blades. Kumamon brought out his missile launcher to blow up more enemies and he jump in the air and turn his body into a big icicle to drop down on a group of Goblimons and two Ogremons. They were all crushed under the icicle as they were all turned into data from existence. And Gatomon run on all fours as she charge into a group of Uruks and Wildmen. Her claws began to glow as she use her Lightning Paw to cut them all down. She then use her Lightning Kick to kick a Goblimon as he was turn into data.

"Were going to finish you all off." Dorulumon growled as he charge into two Wildmen who are armed with spears ready to pierce him, but Dorulumon knows how to get pass them. He jump into the air, and the Wildmen raised them in an attempt to skewer him, but Dorulumon had sprung into the wall and rebounded off it with all four paws until he was behind them, smacking them both aside before they could turn around. He was already running by the time they hit the floor, running past three Uruks to ram into another Wildman as he fell when he had been impaled by Dorulumon's horn.

The three Uruks that Dorulumon past had turn around to face him. That is when Morwen cut down one Uruk from behind when they had their backs turned. The other two Uruks turn to the woman as they charge ready to cut down the woman. Morwen W was ready for them as she block the first strike from one of her axes and swing her other axe to cut the Uruk's throat as he bleed and choke to death. But the other Uruk was about to bring down his sword at Morwen's W back. Kumamon blow out his Crystal Breeze to freeze up the Uruk in ice. Morwen W turn around to slam one of her axes to the frozen Uruk and shattered into pieces.

Gatomon charge into a group of evil Digimon as she prepared to use her claws. "LIGHTNING PAW!" She shouted as her claws glow white as she slash all of the evil Digimon. They all yelled in pain as they were all turn to data. There were only a few Uruks, Wildmen and Bagra Army remaining.

"That is your final warning." Dorulumon said. "Leave now and your lives will be spared or if you continue to chase the villagers we will destroy you all."

"No Warg will tell us what to do and will not let a woman, a bear and cat get in our way." Zog snarled. "We are fighting Uruk Hai. We will not run from our enemies."

"So be it." Dorulumon growled. "We will have to end this battle very quick if you are all foolish to give up."

Zog and Ulric were about to charge, but Gokuwmon called out.

"Hold it the wolf is mine you guys focus on the cat, the bear and the woman." Gokuwmon said to his two fellow Captains as he charge towards Dorulumon with his staff in his hand.

Zog, Ulric and the rest of their forces charge towards Gatomon, Kumamon and Morwen W to kill them.

"Very well." Dorulumon turn to his three companions. "You three deal with the remaining enemy troops, while I deal with the monkey." Dorulumon growled as he charge at Gokuwmon to clash with him with his drill tail.

"Let's get them!" Gatomon shouted to her two allies as they charge at the two enemy Captains and their forces.

Gatomon use her Cat Laser from her eyes to blast three Uruks, three Wildmen and two Apemons as they were hit and killed by Gatomon's attack. Next Kumamon summoned his skies as he slide pass four Uruks and three Wildmen, he took a deep breath and use his Crystal Breeze to freeze his enemies in ice. Then he finish them off by jumping in the air and turning his lower body into a big icicle as he shout. "ICICLE FALL!" As he drop down on top of them and smash them into pieces.

Next Morwen W was facing three Wildmen and three Uruks that have her surrounded. Two Wildmen charge at her from both sides. Morwen W block both a sword and axe with her two axes. A Uruk was going to cut her down with his sword raised. Morwen W was quick to push a Wildman to the ground and slash the other Wildman at his chest. Then she quickly block the Uruk Hai's sword with both axes and counter with a swing of her axe to the Uruk's throat as he choke to death. Morwen W quickly cut down another Uruk that was about to cut her from behind. She now face only one Uruk and two Wildmen remained. Morwen W charge and slash down two Wildmen who both yelled in pain and she block the Uruk's sword that nearly cut her head off. She batted the sword aside and decapitated the Uruk's head as the headless body drop to the ground. She was join with Gatomon as the two of them are now facing Ulric and Zog.

Morwen W was facing Ulric as the Wildman growl at her. "Curse you woman for you and those three strange creatures that got in our way and also for killing my fellow Captain!" Ulric raised his axe ready to cut Morwen W down.

Zog was now facing Gatomon as he snarl at the cat. "You tark. You and your friends ruined our fun, now it's time to die!" He roar his battle cry as he charge at Gatomon with his axe raised. Gatomon run on all fours as she dodge the axe that miss her by the tail. Zog tried to swing his axe again, but Gatomon was ready for it, she jump in the air as Zog miss her again. Gatomon's claws began to glow white as she is ready to finish this fight very quickly. "It's time to end this LIGHTNING PAW!" She shouted as her claws slash through Zog's armor. Zog gasped as he was sent flying to the ground as he did not get back up as he lay on the ground dead.

Ulric and Morwen W both trade blow after blow with their axes. Ulric tried to swing his axe to cut Morwen's W head. She block the axe with one of her axes and used the other one to slice at Ulric's stomach. He managed to jump back to avoid being cut down. He countered with another swing, but Morwen W dodge the swing and raised both of her axes and did a X slash to bring down Ulric. Ulric couldn't block it in time as he gasp as he was brought down and he was slowly dying.

"Curse you woman! I my not live to see your homeland burn... but my own people... will come to destroy Rohan." Ulric said his last words as he died.

The few remaining Wildmen and Uruks saw their three leaders all have fallen and have began to flee for their lives .

Gokuwmon was still battling with Dorulumon as they clash with drill and staff. Gokuwmon glare at Dorulumon. "You will be destroyed traitor! SECRET TECHNIQUE: WAKING SHADOW!" He shouted as his staff had created ten shadow clones who are copies of him.

Dorulumon growled at his enemy who can make many copies of himself. "You think cheap tricks will work on me! Think again." Dorulumon said as he jump in the air with his drill tail is spinning. "DRILL TORNADO!" He shouted as he summons a tornado and knock down all the shadow clones including the real Gokuwmon. All the Gokuwmon's shadow clones all poof into smoke and as he was standing up.

"Curse you wolf, will you die already!" He brought his staff in his hands as he prepared to attack. "Let's see how you handle this. SUPER ELECTRIFIED LIGHTING CANNON!" He pointed the end of his staff as he shoot out a thunder ball at Dorulumon.

Dorulumon smirked at Gokuwmon's counter attack. "It's that all you have." He growls. "Time to finish this! DRILL BUSTER!" He shouted as he jump in the air to dodge Gokuwmon's attack and fired his drills out of his head.

Five drills were heading at Gokuwmon. Gokuwmon tried to knock them all, but one manage to hit him in his left shoulder as it exploded. He groans in pain as his data was leaking out from his wound. He place his right hand on his shoulder to cover his wound.

"Curses! I can't fight with a injury like this! I must retreat!" Gokuwmon glare at the wolf. "This is not over! I will have my revenge Dorulumon!" He turn to his few remaining evil Digimon. "Retreat!" He shouted to his troops as they all fled back to Isengard. The four heroes had stood their ground and won the battle as many bodies of Wildmen and Uruks were scattered on the ground dead.

"Looks like that's all of them." Kumamon said as he, Gatomon and Morwen W gathered around Dorulumon. "We managed to drive them away."

"But why you let the one enemy Captain go?" Morwen W asked Dorulumon.

"He knows he was out match and I send a message to his Masters that they will know the Fusion Fighters will protect the people." Dorulumon said as he look at the two who help defending. "What are your names? My name is Dorulumon and my friend here is Gatomon." He turn to Gatomon the cat.

"Well, my name is Morwen W the warrior maiden of the Penmark." Morwen W introduce her name and title.

"And my name is Kumamon the Warrior of Ice." Kumamon said as he gave them the two fingers up V for victory.

"Well you three did help save the people even though I was alone defending them. If you had not arrived in time more lives would be lost." Morwen W thank the three Digimon.

"It was no problem. We want to protect innocent people from harm." Gatomon said.

"Is it okay for me to join with the Fusion Fighters?" Kumamon asked Dorulumon and Gatomon. "Me and my friends want to join with the Fusion Fighters and help to protect the Digimon in the Digital World."

"Of course you can join us." Gatomon said with a smile. "Shoutmon and Sorcermon who is the King's advivser are always looking for new members to join our army."

"Thank you!" He excidedly said to Gatomon. "I hope I can find my friends who are somewhere in this world."

"We should leave here before more Isengard forces will come. We need to protect the villagers and escorting them to a safe place." Morwen W said as the four heroes have left the rocky maze and the ruin village behind.

XXX

The surviving villagers were at least two thirds of their numbers, much more than would had been without the help of Dorulumon, Gatomon, Kumamon and Morwen W. They could hear no sound of pursuit or any war cries, but they still remain alert.

Still, they were relieved too. They had escaped with their lives. Their mysterious saviors have come earlier before the rest of the villagers had perished, but that could not be helped. Those who have lost loved ones wept, but the rest of them tried to remain strong, silently mourning their missing friends.

Morwen P wasn't quite sure what to make of their current situation. Her husband had not been at the village at the time of the attack, so she had no way of knowing if he had not met a end elsewhere, but right now she had bigger concerns. like her children.

"Eothain, Freda." She said, helping them both down from Garulf and giving them a hug.

"We're okay, mama." Eothain said, with a grin. "And thank the stars you're okay too."

"You didn't do as I asked." Morwen P said with such was her relief she couldn't bring herself to sound scornful. "You came back."

"With help." Freda said through her sobs of happiness. "That wolf Dorulumon and the cat Gatomon, both saved me when Garulf accidentally threw me off. When they heard our village was under attack they growled and told us to bring them back so they could help.

"Well, at least you are alright." Morwen P said, hugging them both to her. "Thank heavens it was not a Warg or those other monsters."

"I am not a Warg of any description." Dorulumon chuckled, causing everyone to look at him along with Gatomon, Kumamon and Morwen W all standing before them.

The villagers know that he, Gatomon and Kumamon are not enemies and held firm. They are not used to creatures like Dorulumon, Gatomon and Kumamon, but Dorulumon that was still Intimidating even he was friendly.

Morwen P, however, was unconcerned. She straightened herself up and said straight. "Thank you. For saving my child. And for protecting us."

"The first was made necessary by myself." Dorulumon said. "I was the one who frightened the horse and caused it to throw her off in the first place. Nevertheless you are welcome." He smirked and said. "We couldn't turn our backs on you." Morwen P nod with a smile.

Gatomon giggled. "He may be Intimidating, but he is also a big softie to kids and he is very brave."

"If you are not a Warg." Another villager spoke. "Then what are you? You said that the three of you are Digimon along with those Bagra Army that are too? What exactly is that? I've never heard of them before."

"I didn't suspect that you would." Dorulumon replied, as he and his two fellow Digimon turn to face the group. "Nevertheless I shall give you a much quick version and say that Digimon are creatures that come in a variety of forms and possess many diverse abilities and powers. Now, if you don't mind, we happen to have some questions of our own, and now that we finally have an audience that isn't running away screaming or trying to spear us, I will take the opportunity to ask them."

Dorulumon, Gatomon and Kumamon questioned the villagers closely and were able to get a little information what they had say. They learned that they were in a place called WestFold, which was a region of a country called Rohan, which was in a land called Middle Earth. The three Digimon have never heard of any of those places and the fact the villagers have never heard of Digimon before was not encouraging. They had not seen any other strange creatures around since yesterday besides the Bagra Army appeared, and they learned that Rohan was renowned for its warriors on their magnificent horses, which didn't surprise Dorulumon and Gatomon at all considering what they have encountered so far.

"It seems we have somehow found ourselves in a strange world that we do not understand." Gatomon sigh after they had finish getting information. "That's quite the trouble, but I am beginning to understand that there's a war coming. Those creatures before mentioned something of a Wizard and a Dark Lord, as well as the Bagra Army's leader Bagramon himself. Am I correct to assume that they are not your friends?"

"Yes." A village elder said. "We must warn the King of this at once. We heard that the White Wizard was mustering an army but we didn't believe it was really true. Now we found out there is, and there may even be more raiding parties to come. There may even be more out there now. Somebody must go to Edoras and warn the King."

"Edoras is many leagues away." Another man said. "It will take to long to walk there. Morwen P, you and that other woman are the only ones with two horses. You both must go."

Morwen P bristled. "I will not abandon my children." She declared. "And we cannot all ride on two horses.

"Regardless of who goes." Dorulumon clear his throat. "What course of action will everyone else take? You are right. There may be more raiding parties out there. The danger is not over."

"We should head for Helm's Deep." Suggested someone. "It's a unreachable fortress and it's not that far from here. If we go now we may be there by tomorrow morning, or even tonight if we move quickly."

"Then you must make haste." Dorulumon nod. "As to speaking with the King, I have a suggestion. We shall go too. We wish to speak with the King ourselves to explain that we are not a threat as his men seem to believe and to offer our help. If there is a war coming then regardless of what we want or not if we must play our part in the fight. That is a part of being members of the Fusion Fighters and our own King would say the same. Perhaps the King can also help us find our friends. They will be of the same opinion as us and will volunteer to help against this Wizard straight away."

"Besides we have our old enemy the Bagra Army who have decided to join forces with your enemies." Gatomon pointed out.

More accustomed to the three Digimon by this point, the villagers beamed. They had seen what those three Digimon are capable already. The thought of more than three of them helping against Saruman's army and a new enemy the Bagra Army was a huge boost of hope to them. "That sounds ideal." The village elder said from before.

Dorulumon turned to Morwen P. "You can ride on the horse and I will carry the children. I've carried children before back where we came from, I will not drop them. You will have to show us the way, and we may need your help explaining ourselves to the soldiers. The rest of you head to this Helm's Deep place with all speed."

Morwen P nod, a little uncertainty. "That sounds... reasonable."

"I assure you I am a very good mount." Dorulumon smirked, seeing where her mind was thinking.

"You'll really let us ride you?" Freda asked excitedly.

"If I must." Dorulumon looked down at her with a small grin. "Now, let's go."

As the three Digimon and the villagers all move out heading to Helm's Deep. The last person to follow behind is Morwen W the warrior maiden of the Penmark look back at the smokes' at the distance were the village was attacked. Mother, Father. I will avenge you both! She said in her thoughts. I will make Saruman pay for what the destruction he has caused!

She turn back to the villagers and the three Digimon. She see how they help her fight off the raiders that attack. She hope that they can help turn the tide of war and put a stop of Saruman and Sauron. She got on her horse and rode on to follow by protecting the villagers.

This involves some new OC's characters and the Digimon as well.

First was two Wildmen Captains who are Darlas and Ulric. They are from a mod called the Return of Shadows in the Battle for Middle Earth 1. Next was a OC character who is a Uruk Captain name Zog.

I also involved the Bagra Army to attack a village lead by a evil Digimon Captain name Gokuwmon.

I also have Dorulumon, Gatomon and Kumamon join forces to fight off against the three enemy armies.

And one last thing I did have two Morwens in this story. The P is for the Peasant and the W is for the warrior. The Peasant Morwen is the mother of two children and the Morwen Warrior is a character from the Third Age.

Next time Chapter 20 The Banishment of Eomer.
