Hey everyone! We are up to thirdteen chapters! Lucky 13! Oh yeah! This is one of my favorite chapters the I wrote. Mostly because of these bad Digimon here. And when I mean bad, I mean REAL bad. Like super villain bad! How I design them was pretty cool to. Like something for a Tim Burton movie (that's what someone said). So how will the our hero survive? Well it's all thanks to...*put hand over mouth* Ops, almost gave it away. Enjoy and review.
Chapter Thirteen The Crown Jewel and His Diamonds
The cave walls and ceiling were all a dark tan color as they stretch deeper within the place. On the walls were torches lighting up the place, showing the many pathways that could be taken. The ground was fill with footsteps of all different kinds, some had claw feet and others had web toes that imprinted on the ground. This was obviously a base of some kind, but who or what was running this place. Inside the center of the cave there was a room, and in that room were three of the strongest Digimon of this base. Each one of them were doing their own relaxing hobby to past the time. On one side of the room, and female Digimon was admiring herself in a full body mirror. Her skin was perfectly tan all over her body, however there were three black strips going across each of her cheeks of her face, just like a tiger. Her long, rose red color hair was pull into a pony tail and nearly touch her shoulders. She playfully flip her hair to one side to the other, giggling at herself as she look in the mirror at her hair style. Her nail were a dark green color like a plant, but long like claws of a jungle cat. Her eyes were a yellowish orange color of a cat, staring endlessly at her image. She wore a light orange shirt that only came down half way, a dark green vest with some kind of flower on the back, dark green skirt and sandals. To top things off, she had huge plant like fairy wings resting on her back. She giggled loudly as she hover a bit in the air. She spin around in midair, laughing and admiring her own image. Not far away from the flower Digimon, another strong Digimon was playing cards by himself. His skin was a faded light blue color, and his short thin crimson hair was all a mess, and his green tricky eyes were full of mischief. Resting on top of his untamed hair was a black top hat that had a skull smirking at the Digimon who dare stand in front of its master. He wore a dirty white dress shirt, a black vest and pants that seen better days, and a chain around his waist. On both his hands he wore white fingerless gloves, and on each glove there was a marking of a suit, a spade on his right hand and a club on his left. Black boots where on his feet and they too had suit on them as well, the right boot had a heart and the left one had a diamond. All he was doing was playing with cards on the table. The sound of him shuffle the cards in all kind different ways echo in the room. He shuffle the cards to one and to the other on the table, above his head, and behind his back. In a far off corner, sitting by himself, was the most powerful Digimon in this room or, in fact, anywhere in the area. His skin was whiter than bone and he demon eyes were as scarlet color. He was bald on top of his head, which made him look more like a skull. He wore a black shirt with white stiches cist crossing all over, black fish net were on both his arm coming from his elbow to his wrist, on his left arm was a faded brown piece of armor with a scare coming cross the middle of it, demon wings on the back of his shirt, leather pants, and black boots with small spikes poking out. He was leaning in his chair reading an old book that was called, "The Grand Adventures of Omnimon". His eyes slowly move on the page as he read, and when he was finished reading he turn the page and start again. Each one of them were deep into what they were doing. That is, until it happen. Sitting at the end of the room was the same radio that the little demon Digimon had in his lab/factory. Static began to come out of the old fashion radio, but then it suddenly stop. The Dark Master, the same Dark Master that spoke with Kurokasaimon before he went after the kids and their Digimon, spoke to the three of them.
"Tigerlilymon!" he began to yell, and their plant girl Digimon stop playing his her hair and glace over to the radio. "Trickstermon!" The card playing Digimon stop as an evil grin pop on his face. "Painmon!" The last Digmon merely close his book and set it down near him. "Come and report to your master!" The three of them all came to the radio at their own pace, but ended together. They all go down on one knee, bow, and said all together,
"We hear and obey, our Dark Master!" There was a moment of silent before the Dark Master said,
"You may all rise." The three Digimon did, and waited for their master to say something else. There was another long pause, until the Dark Master spoke again saying,
"Now that you're all here, I have some….news to talk to you all about." Trickstermon could not help himself. He crack a grin and began to chuckle in a high pitch way and said,
"Are we finally going to get some ping pong tables here in our base!"
"Or are the Digimon we 'brought' with us finally going to make that spa that we so need right now!" Tigerlilymon added, her voice was high and almost cute sounding, as she raised her finger and look at her faded claws. The Dark Master did not say anything, but his breathing could be hear out of the radio. He was trying greatly not to lose his temper at the answers that his followers.
"As humorous that those answers are," the Master began to say slowly, "That is not the news I am talking about." Trickstermon glanced at Tigerlilymon and raised his shoulders, and all she could do with give him a confused look. Painmon, on the other hand, was starting at the radio with no emotion on his face showing whatsoever. "Tell me," the Dark Master said, he was sounding tired for some reason, "Do you know of the Legend of The Chosen Children?"
"There's a Legend about that kind of stuff?" Tricketermon once again joked. Tigerlilymon giggles lightly and Painmon remained emotionless. Tigerlilymon quickly cough to stop her giggling, for she felt the anger of her Dark Master coming out of the radio.
"Master please," she said extending her arms out like there was a care in the world, "The Legend of the Chosen Children is just a myth. The only Digimon who believe in that myth are stupid Viruses."
"You honestly don't believe in this legend do you?" the Dark Master question back. Both Trickstermon and Tigerlilymon nodded their head. This kind of Legend did sound too made up to be real.
"FOOLS!" the Dark Master screamed out. The power of the Master voice was so strong that the walls of the cave began to shake a bit. Both Tricketermon and Tigerlilymon backed away a few feet from the radio, but Painmon still remained still. "My worst fears have come true! For the Chosen Children are real! Just ask Kurokasaimon!" It was Painmon's turn to talk now. Without even breaking eye contact with the radio, he said in a deep monotonic voice,
"Kurokasaimon. A very intelligent and passionate Digimon. However his lust for power and respect makes him a hard Digimon to work with." Tricketermon licked his lips and nodded his head.
"Yeah, yeah," he began to say, not joking this time, "He was the one in charge of all your radio signals back in that area."
"That is correct my playful trickster," the Dark Master said, sounding like they were now on the same page, "And I knew he was going to double cross me with his Black Spots!"
"How did you know he was going to double cross you Master?" Tricketermon asked titling his top hat back a bit.
"I have eyes everywhere, remember that," the Master said so coolly that the playfully trickster Digimon shudder a little big. "I saw his factory that he had under the tower. I saw how he created his Black Spots that control many Digimon to his will. And, I saw him capture the Chosen Children."
"So he has them!" Tigerlillymon said, flicking her hair to the air, "We have nothing to fear anymore."
"No," the Master said in such a low voice that the three of them could hardly hear him, "The Chosen Children fought back and escape. Then they defeated Kurokasaimon, even though he was able to Digi-vole to the next level." Tricketermon mouth open up a little bit, but no words came out. He took off his top hat and bow his head a little bit.
"These Chosen Children," he began putting his hat back on, "Must be amazingly strong!"
"That may be true, but they are no match for my Crown Jewel of my army, Painmon!" the Dark Master said with great pride, "And his Diamonds are strong as well." Both Tigerlilymon and Tricketermon smirk and snickered at the comment their master had made. They all knew it was true, that they were the strongest Digimon in the Dark Master Army. "With this news that we have, I want you three to do two things," the Master continued. Suddenly there came some humming does from the room. The Crown Jewel and his Diamonds all turn and saw the printer printing out something for them. "This is a picture of what the Chosen Children look like." The three of them all marched over to look at the picture that their Master had printed off for them. They started at the image of Jake, his friends and their Digimon, all getting ready for action. Tigerlillymon stuck out her tongue and made an ugly face as she look at the picture. She pointed at Iris and said,
"These are the Chosen Children that are so feared? They look kind of….chucky and kind of short looking. I was imaging them being, I don't know, more warriors like. They are of legend correct, even though they look pretty ugly looking?"
"Why are those Digimon with them!" Tricketermon yelled pointing at Sealmon. "Those Digimon have lowered themselves to these creatures level! How sickening! They need to be taught a lesson!" He slice his thumb across his neck, in order to get his master threw. Painmon was still silent as the others were making their comments. He slowly picked up the picture and raise it to his eye level. He spend a good amount of time staring at each one of the kids and their Digimon who were they partners. No emotion seem to pop in his face as he study the picture. Then he slowly flip the page around to the back and saw numbers writer on the backside of the picture.
"So you want us to meet up with the Chosen Children at these coordinates?" he finally said, tipping the paper down a bit.
"And kill them right!" Tricketermon quickly added with glee as he pull out a card, the edges shine like a sharp blade.
"I want you to meet them, but not kill them," the Dark Master said calmly. This made both Tigerlillymon and Tricketermon look at each other once more. "I want you three to teach them the meaning of fear. The fear that can been show only through this army! Make them realize that this is no friendly game. This….is…..war!" Tricketermon grin so wide that all his faded white teeth could be seen, Tigerlillymon hover a bit as she smirk as well, giggling with delight, and even Painmon show a little excitement on his face for there was a small smile. These three Digimon were the best of the best, and they are going to show that to the Chosen Children. Tigerlillymon landed back down on the ground, flip her hair back, and asked,
"Okay, I get the part where we show the Chosen Children we mean busy. But what is the second part you want us to do, Master?"
"That is where I came in Simpletons!" said a low, robot, slightly annoying voice said behind them. Both Tigerlillymon and Tricketermon groaned loudly and they roll their eyes. Painmon seem to not care, but inside his eyes there seem to be a bit an annoyed looked within them. They knew who the Digimon that was calling the 'simpletons' was. The Crown Jewel and his Diamonds turn around to see a robotic Digimon standing in front of them. This robotic Digimon iron gray glove hands and boots that were connect to thing metal limbs, his chest was a square steel color and around his waist was a black belt with an "L" belt buckle. He did not have a head, but in place of it was a huge looking brain. The pink brain was in a glass dome that was place on top of the Digimon shoulder's, and was fill with some kind of liquid for there were bubbles on in the glass dome as well. The face of this Digmon was the strangest thing of all, for it had two small round lights, that had a black back ground, and could change color depending on the mood the Digimon was in, and a square light, with a black back ground like the eyes, that acted like the mouth for the Digimon to speak and could change color as well. Though this Digimon did look evil, it look evil in an weak way. In one of his robotic hands, there was a long brown case that was just as tall of as him. His moth flash a green grin at all of them as he place the case on the nearby table.
"All great!" Tigerlillymon whispered to Trickstermon, "Lobemon is back again!"
"I know!" Tricketermon whispered back, "Is he going to go on and all again on how great his mind is and how amazing his project 'Undead' is!?"
"Hey!" Lobemon yelled, eyes turning red, as he pointed a gray finger at them, "First of all, don't mock my wonderful and brilliant mind! I'm way smarter than any of you!" He snickered at his own remark, but the other just roll their eyes. "And second, my project Undead will be the crowning of this army! Digimon far and wide will tremble at the might that project Undead has! Tremble I tell you!" With that, he raise his arms in the air and began to cackle like the mad scientist that he is. The rest of them, were not impress by his speech. They have heard did so many times, that it had grown dull. Tricketermon swirl his finger in the air near his head and cross his eyes, show how nuts Lobemon was. Tigerlillymon put a hand on her mouth to stop her giggling, and Painmon just glace down at them. The Dark Master sigh loudly and said to Lobemon,
"Lobemon….get to the reason why I brought you here!" Lobemon quickly stop his laughing and bow a lot to the radio.
"My apologies, my great and powerful Dark Master," Lobemon began to say, sucking up to his Master like always. "You know I can't keep my genius mind from showing off now and then." There was a long pause, and Lobemon took that as a yes. So he march over to the case and began to click open the locks while continuing to say,
"Now, as you are well know from the Legend that the Chosen Children have the power to Digi-vole Digimon. This will be a huge problem for us! For unlike my genius mind, there is a point to how far we can go to get stronger. But these Chosen Children can Digi-vole Digimon to our level, maybe even beyond! What does this all mean? How can we stop them? What amazing, genius invention have you come up with Lobemon? Well I'll show you! Behold!" With that he pull out a black metal rob that was almost 5 feet long, 4 inches thick, a sharp rigged point at one end, and a red light that was off for now. "The Black Spear!" He raise the Black Spear into the air, as if it was the most scarcity thing in the world. For a long time, Painmon and the other just stared at the strange invention. After a while, Tigerlillymon raise a finger and asked,
"So what does…."
"Quite!" Lobemon quickly said, his eyes trying a blue color as she started at her, "We're still Beholding it!" Tigerlillymon raise an eyebrow and look at her partner with a crazed look on her face for what Lobemon had said. "And…now you can ask your question," Lobemon ended lowering the Black Spear down.
"O…kay….," she began to say once more, "What does it do?"
"So glad you asked," the brain Digimon said, with a smile formed on his screen as he rolled the Spear in his stubbly little hands, "Since the Chosen Children have the power to have Digimon Digi-vole, then my Black Spear can Block the Digi-vole process!" Eyes widen as the ability to stop the Chosen Children Digi-vole raced to their heads. "When this spear is place in the ground, it creates a powerful blocking field that stretches for five miles in an area! And I know what your thinking, if the Black Spear is in the ground then they can pull out right? WRONG! If anyone tries to pull the Black Spare out, 10,000 volts of electricity will shock them to think twice about messing with me….I mean us!"
"And that is the second thing I want you three to do," the Dark Mater began to say, a sound of glee was in his voice, "Is to test Lobemon's invention. If this invention of his works properly, then I will have him mass-produce thousands of them and spread them all over my army. That way, if we face Digimon who can Digi-vole, then we can surprise them with our new weapon." As Tigerlillymon and Tricketermon both crackled and gave each other high fives, Painmon reached over and pluck the Black Spear out of Lobemon skinny robotic hand.
"Then let us not waste time," Painmon said as he marched out of the base. Tigerlillymon smirk as she hovers out of them room behind Painmon. Tricksterrmon was the last to leave, but before he join the others, the playful trickster Digimon slap Lobemon hard on the back, making him nearly fall over and waving his arms in front of him, and quickly said,
"Nice work, Snowglobemon!"
"It's Lobemon, you Simpleton!" the robot Digimon yelled tripping over the place and trying not to fall face forward. The kids and their Digimon were about to face their most hardest challenged so far. Can they beat the Crown Jewel and his Diamonds?
It has been several days since the kids and their Digimon all left Gigabit Valley. Things have been rather peaceful for them these past few days. Not one Digimon try to kill them, nor try to con them out of their Digi-vices. Even though this was a nice change, it felt kind of dull not fighting evil Digimon. However, they still kept on going and on times thinking about the stranger who was helping them. Who was he and why was he helping them out? These were the question that the kids thought as they came to a restaurant. This quite little diner looked to be made my humans, but as the kids fully aware that in the Digital World nothing is what it seems. The diner was run and own by an egg shield Digimon. The Digimon kept inside his egg all the time and the only thing that was out was he green dinosaur like feet. His beady golden eyes watch the children carefully as they ate their food. Jake was sitting in one of the red booths that were looking out on the lake that was outside. He had saw that ice cream was on the menu, so how could he pass having something he have not had for such a long time. Jake was devouring the chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and mint chocolate chip ice cream with whip cream and rainbow sprinkles and a cherry on top and getting it all over his face and the table. He did not care how messy he was getting, only that he was enjoy the sweet taste of the ice cream. As he was shoving another spoonful of ice cream in his mouth, he heard someone giggling. He put down his spoon and notice Emily for the first time. She was staring at Jake and was giggling the whole time. She was giggling at the sticky mess that was all over Jake's face. Jake titled his head to one side and asked,
"What's so funny?"
"I'm sorry Jake, but there's something on your face," Emily answered point at Jake and still giggling. Jake knew he had SOME ice cream on his face, but not really how much was on his face, so he flash famous grin and went along with what Emily was saying.
"Really," Jake asked, sounding somewhat shocked as he looked around, "Where?" With that, Emily bent forward and wipe a little ice cream off Jake's nose.
"Right there," she answered licking the ice cream off her finger. Pink began to show on the patches where ice cream did not cover. His blushing all of sudden made him feel weird, so he looked away. Yet, he did glace at Emily who was wiping up more ice cream from Jake's bow and licking it off her finger. Jake grin as he face blushed more. In the both next to them, Iris was drawing pictures on her paper napkin. She was 'borrowing' a pen that Nate had and was drawing whatever she was thinking about. She was a pretty good at drawing pictures for she drew Lynxmon perfectly, Wizardmon and was wondering how he was doing, and finally and scowling looking Kenta. This last picture, the one of Kenta, made him look like the loner that he thought he was. She smirk at her artwork, for she was pretty proud of what she had done, and glace up a bit. She lick the corner of her mouth as she saw a large mouthwatering chocolate cake with creamy dark chocolate that added another inch to the cake. Iris licked her lips once more as she reached out to grab the plate that the cake was resting on. She was about an inch away from the cake, when someone snatch the cake before her. She glared at whoever stole her piece of cake, until she saw Kenta with the cake in front of him. He too was licking his lips as he raised his fork to slice the delicious piece of mouthwatering cake. He was about to slice the cake, when he look up to see Iris her arms cross and looking away at the kitchen of the diner. For a spilt second, Kenta took no notice of this. Then he realized that Iris wanted this cake just as much as he did. With that in mind, Kenta sigh loudly and push the cake, with a fork next to it, to Iris. Iris face lite up with a smile as she grab the fork and slice a piece of cake. She raise the piece of cake up to her mouth, when she notice Kenta's expression. He too had cross his arms and now looking out the window. He was trying to act all cool looking, but Iris could see pass that. She put down her fork and snap her fingers to get Kenta attention. Kenta glace over then moved his head to face Iris who had another fork in her hand. Kenta gave a weak smile as he took the other fork. The two of them shared the mouthwatering chocolate piece together. As the two of the were sharing the cake, May was busy typing away on her laptop in the booth next to them. He laptop rested near the edge of the counter top as her fingers quickly dance on the keyboard. Every now and then she lift up her glass of water and took a sip of form the straw that was resting in the glass. She place the glass of water down and continue with her work on her lap top. Nate, who was sitting across of her, place his fork and knife down on his finish plate of salad.
"I don't know about you, but it's good to have a salad every now and then," Nate said wiping some of the salad dressing off his mouth. May's eyes never left the screen of her laptop as she said,
"Yeah." Nate tap the edge of the table, and look up at the ceiling. Hearing the only sound of tapping on the keyboard was starting to get to him.
"So…what are you typing there?" May paid no attention to Nate, for her focus was on what she was typing.
"May?" Nate asked again trying to be polite, but again she was not listening to him at all. "Hello, May?" Nate leaned over the table and wave his hand front of her, trying to get her attention. Yet May was still in her own little world that was her computer. Nate sigh loudly and he sunk back into his chair. He wanted May to say something to him, but it was impossible because of her computer. The egg shell Digimon came up to their table and asked, in a busy and a little rude tone,
"You done? Can I take your plates?" Nate nodded and the egg shell Digimon started to grab their plates, with his big dinosaur feet, and balance them on top of his egg shell. As the egg shell Digimon made its way back to the kitchen, he accidently bump into May's laptop. The laptop slide on the table and stated to fall on the ground. May's eyes widen and she put her put her hands over her mouth and saying,
"No! My laptop!" Without even thinking, Nate jump out of his seat and dove for the laptop. He slide on the somewhat clean floor and catch the laptop just in time! May sigh in relief and Nate stood up, cover with some dirt, and put the laptop back on the table. She then slide out of her seat and gave Nate a hug saying,
"Nate! That was so kind of you for saving my laptop! If my laptop was destroyed, I…..I don't know what to do! Thank you so much." She squeezed him a little tighter and he blushed a little more.
"It was nothing," Nate said loudly as his voice cracked in so many ways. He rub his nose as he smile at May, who had lighten up on the hug. The Digimon were all sitting at the counter of the little diner. They were watching Emily help Jake wiping off the ice cream off his face, Kenta and Iris finishing their cake, and May pulling away from Nate who was still blushing.
"Aw!" Canarymon began clapping her wing hands together, "Don't they all look cute together!"
"Yeah, it's a little strange though," Lynxmon said, sitting on one of the stools and waving her tail around a bit, "Who would have expected that these creatures, who never meet each other before, could get along? Strange, but sweet at the same time." Deemon cross his arms as she spun around his stool. He look at all the kids, with a grin forming on his face, and began to sing,
"I can see what happening!"
"What?" Houndmon asked titling his head to one side.
"And they all don't have a clue!" he continue to sing swing his hands to the kids.
"Who?" Sealmon questioned making a confused face.
"And here's the point I'm trying to make, there's something going on here!"
"Deemon where is this going?" Caterpillarmon asked still wondering about Deemon's singing.
"There's a sweet smell in the air," Deemon continue to sing, wiggling his fingers, "Music can be heard! And this only means one thing…."
"Your check is here to be paid!" the eggshell Digimon sang right behind Deemon. Deemon and the other Digimon jump as the eggshell Digimon slide the check off the top of his shell and onto the counter top.
"Um…okay," Canarymon said slowly, trying to claim herself down after the sudden appearance of the eggshell Digimon. She turn to the kids and continue to say, "Emily! I think it's time to pay the bill!"
"Be right there!" Emily called back as she toss the napkin she was using to wipe Jake's face off to the side. The kids all rose from their seats and join their Digimon to pay the bill.
"So," Iris began putting her hands on her hips, "What'd we own you for the meals?" The eggshell Digimon glace his beady little eyes to the bill and said quickly,
"Five hundred and sixty two Digi-dollars plus 15% tip." Kenta raise an eyebrow at the price that was giving and asked,
"Isn't that a lot of money?"
"Isn't there a lot to feed!?" the owner quickly answered back at Kenta question. Kenta cross his arms, but kept his eyes one the owner.
"I guess it was worth it," May explained, "After all we haven't had a good meal in a long time." They all nodded and agreed with her, it had been a long time since they had a good meal. "Now pay the Digimon Jake." Jake nodded and dig in his pocket for the money. A few second passed as everyone started at Jake who was still digging around in his pocket. Jake suck in his lower lip, as he began to check his other pockets. After he checked all his pockets, front and back, he looked at his friends and said,
"I can't find the money!"
"WHAT!" the other kids and their Digimon shouted. The eggshell Digimon began to raise and eye at what he was hearing.
"Where was the last place you had it!" Nate asked, he was sweating a bit as he was fidgeting with his fingers. Jake close his eyes and thought for a moment, he was trying to picture where he had the money last.
"I remember having it when we were at that bath house a few days ago," he began as he started to remember. They had found a bath house not too long ago, and the kids were all too happy to go in and wash away the dirt off their bodies. "I remember playing for our stay, and putting on my shoes and…." He suddenly stop as he remember something. His eyes suddenly burst open and he slap his head with both hands yelling, "STUPID! I left the money on the desk after I put my shoes on! STUPID! STUPID!" There was a chime from the door, and someone came into the diner. The kids all gave Jake a surprised and dirty look at him. How could he forget the money? It was all they had that that stranger have to them. And now it was gone. Jake was continuing to hit himself on the head. He felt bad and his friends had every right to be mad at him. The owner, whose eyes began to shake, heard all of this. The egg shell Digimon began to yell at the kids, making them look at him, saying,
"If you creatures can't pay five hundred and sixty two Digi-dollars plus 15% tip, then I am going to make you all wash dishes for the rest of your li…." A large stack of sliver bill was slap down on the table. The person who put down the money was in a brown over coat that came down all the way to his big furry cat like feet, a large fedora brown hat cover his whole head so his face was in the shadows, and coming out of his coat was a thin gray tail with a red flame on the end.
"This should cover everything," he said is smooth, yet smoky voice. The kids and their Digimon all stared at this stranger, as he put his hands in his coat pockets. The eggshell Digimon eyes smile as he took the money with his big dinosaur feet.
"Thank you very much!" he said so kindly, as if he was a new person altogether, "Can I get you anything else?" The stranger pull out a packets of cigarettes and shoved one out for himself. He then place it in his mouth and his tail came in front of him and lite the cigarette. He puff on it a few times, keeping the ember glow, and smoke came out of his mouth. The kids began to cough a bit as the stranger tail move away and the glow of the flame was still on the cigarette. He move the cigarette away from his mouth, blew out smoke to the ground, and said,
"I have a pickup for a Mr. X-mon."
"Right away Sir! Right away!" the owner said cheerfully, as if he was going to get another big stack of money. He then went back to the kitchen, leaving the kids with this smoking stranger. Emily wave her hand across her face, to get to smoke away from her, and said,
"Thank *cough* for what you did *cough* back there *cough* *cough*." The smoking stranger took in a deep puff and blew out smoke to the ground.
"Not at all, not at all," he said after a moment, "I had extra money for you kids and it's the least I can do." Iris put her hand over her mouth and said in a muffled voice,
"Hey! Don't you know smoking kills!"
"Damnit! Don't get me started with this crap!" the smoking stranger yelled, holding up his index finger up in the air. The kids and their Digimon all backed away from the smoking stranger slowly. He was losing his temper, so they did not know what was going to happen next. He notice this and quickly claim down. He grab and empty bow that was nearby him and pull it closer to him saying, "Sorry about that. I get into a lot of arguments with my friend. If you don't like my smoking here, I'll put it out for you kids." He rub out his cigarette in the bow and the smell of smoke slowly die away. Kenta too his fingers away from his nose and gaze at the smoking stranger.
"That's…very considerate of you. Even though we never meet you before," he said scratching the side of his cheek. The smoking stranger shrugged his shoulders, as if this was no big deal. Jake sigh deeply as he look down at the ground.
"It's cool that you pay for our meal," he began sound sad, "But I still feel like an idiot for leaving that money there!" He then began hitting himself on the head, and calling himself an idiot over and over again. The kids were angry with Jake, but they saw how sorry he was about what had happen. They all knew that Jake had that leader quality within, and he show little leadership when they were trying to pay the bill. They forgave Jake, but Jake could not forgive himself. Suddenly, someone grab Jake's hand as he about to hit himself on the head again. Jake eye widen as he saw the smoking stranger have a hold of his arm. He held Jake's hand for a long time, but then he finally spoke saying,
"Never let yourself or anyone else call you an idiot." He let go of Jake's arm, and it flop down to his side. "Only real idiots call themselves idiots," the smoking stranger continue to say. Not only Jake, but the other kids and their Digimon all started at the smoking stranger as he was giving this little speech. "Also, don't get so down because you made a mistake. He's a little secret for you: We all make mistakes. Big ones and small ones, we all make en, and we all learn from them. That's what makes us human." Jake grin at the smoking stranger, and he did not felt guilty about what he just did. This stranger was right, he made a mistake and he had learn from that mistake. He then felt someone slap him on the back, and saw that it was his partner Deemon.
"I hate to see you like that bud!" the flightless dragon said to his partner. Jake rub Deemon's shiny head, grinning all the way. Then something came to them. Nate snap his finger suddenly and pointed at the smoking stranger and said,
"Forgive me for saying, but how did you know we were kids?" The smoking stranger stood there for a moment. Even though his eyes were in the shadows, the kids knew they were looking around nervously.
"And about that," May began, walking slowly up to the smoking stranger and looking him over carefully, "You call us humans. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you're the first Digimon to call us humans ever since we got to the Digital World!" He was now shaking as all eyes were on him.
"Son of a Bitch! They're on to me!" he said under his breath.
"What was that? We didn't quite here that?" Iris said, cross her arms and moving on the smoking stranger. The smoking stranger had to think fast as he was being back to the counter top. He held up his hands in defense and began to say in a bit of a crack voice,
"I know there is a good….reason that I know so much about you all."
"Like what?" Kenta asked, he was curious about him like the rest of them. The smoking stranger open his mouth, but no word came out. He was up against the wall, and had nothing to say. The kids were about to struck again on the smoking stranger, when the eggshell Digimon came back. He was balancing three brown bags on his head, saying in his polite voice,
"Your order is ready!" This was the smoking stranger's chance! Quickly, he grab all three back and yell,
"But now is not the time!" And with that he bolted out of the diner at full speed. Only leaving behind the sound of the bell of the door ringing in the air.
"After him!" Jake shouted point at the door. With that the kids and their Digimon all dash after the stranger and leaving the diner behind. They had to fine this smoking stranger. He knew something and they wanted to find out what!
Dirt was flying behind them as the kids and their Dgimon all ran. They were on the tail of the smoking stranger, when he mysteriously disappeared. Caterpillarmon was on May's shoulder and was looking all over the place.
"Wow! For someone who probably smokes a lot, he sure is fast!" she said turning her head forward to see what was in front of her. Sealmon was way in the back of the group. He was quickly crawling to the other, waiting to catch up, but he was just a little too slow.
"Hey everyone!" the seal Digimon yelled to everyone, "Let's start and regroup! I need to catch up with you all!" Hearing that, the group all came to a quick stop to catch their breaths. Sealmon came crawling up to them, panting like the rest of them. Canarymon looked left and right, but there was no sign of the smoking stranger anywhere.
"He came out of nowhere, and he disappeared out of nowhere," the bird Digimon began, "What's he up to?"
"You can say that again," Lynxmon added pointed her thumb at her, "He knew way too much about the children. It's almost like he has been spying on us. If he did, I'm going to scratch his eyes out for looking at us like we're are some kind of joke!" She extend her claws to show that she was serious. Somewhere in the bushes, a certain Digimon was watching them. He crack his evil grin as he whispered,
"It's show time!" Houndmon ears perked up and his body went stiff. When Nate had catch his breath, he turn to Houndmon and asked,
"What's up?"
"I hear someone," the dog Digimon said seriously. The kids all thought it was the smoking stranger, but Houndmon quickly added, "But it's that that stranger we meet. It's someone different." No sooner did he said that, when there was a loud boom and a puff of smoke appeared. The kids and their Digimon jump high in the air, for the loud boom scared them. When their feet were safely on the ground, they try to make out who was in the smoke. As the smoke slowly cleared, they saw that it was someone with a black top hat.
"Thank you for coming to the last show you'll ever see in your life!" Trickstermon announced as the smoke cleared. He took off his top hat and bow at them, still having the evil grin stuck on his face. At first, the kids just stared at this new Digimon that was in front of them, as he put back on his hat. Iris roll her eyes and finally said,
"What's with the cheesy magician here?" Trickstermon began to chuckle as he held one of his hand in front of his face. The kids all continue to stare at him, puzzled at his reasoning for laughing. They turn to their Digimon, and was shocked to see that they were scared of this stranger Digimon. They shaking a little bit and were backing way, almost as if they wanted to get away from this Digimon. Emily gulp a little bit as she asked,
"W….what's going on with you guys?"
"Can't you feel it!" Deemon said, sounding as though this was obvious, "This Digimon has an…..evil aurar around him." The kids all turn back to the magician Digimon and saw that there was some kind of evil feeling about him.
"Really?" May asked pulling out her Digi-vice, "Let's find out more about him then." With that she scan Trickstermon to get his data.
Name: Trickstermon
Type: Fallen Magician
Level: Perfect
Special Attacks: 52 Slice Up, Magic Trick
Info: Trickstermon is one of the most cunning Digimon around. He will trick you into fallen into his traps. He was once a great magician, but a virus infected him causing him to do wicked deeds. When he uses his Magic Trick attack, anything could happen and only he knows what will come.
The kids stared at the image that was on May's Digi-vice, then back up at the real thing. They knew why their Digimon were a little afraid of this magician Digimon, for he was at a new level then they were. Trickstermon tilted his hat forward, still having the wicked grin on his face, and said,
"So we meet face to face, Chosen Children."
"Aw Crap!" Iris yelled as she and the rest of her friends eyes widen, "This can't be good!" For every time they heard the words 'Chosen Children' it meant something bad for them. Trickstermon took a step forward, chuckling all the way, as he continue to say,
"That's true, Chosen Children, and we know all about the little 'adventure' you had with Kurokasaimon."
"Wait! So you worked with that demented demon Digimon!?" Caterpillarmon demanded as she crawl down May shoulders. The magician Digimon click his tongue and wag his finger at them.
"You miss understand," he began grinning all the way, "He worked for our Dark Master! Just like me and the others do!"
"Dark Master? Others?" Jake asked raising an eyebrow, "What the heck are you talking about?!" Trickstermon took a deep breath and sigh. He seems to be enjoying their confusedness and slight terror.
"That's enough for me to say," Trickstermon said bending down a bit, "IT'S TIME TO HAVE SOME FUN!" With that he broke into a run and came straight to the children. More color began to fade form the kids' faces, as Trickstermon's chuckling fill the area. The Digimon could not take this anymore. They did not care if he was a few levels higher than them, they would not let this evil Digimon take their friends down. So they all jump in front of Trickstermon, protecting the kids.
"If you want them," Deemon yelled, "Then you have to go through us first!" Suddenly, all six Digi-vice began to beep and their Digimon began to Digi-vole to the next level!
"DEEMON, SELAMON, HOUNDMON, CATERPILLARMON, LYNXMON, CANARYMON DIGI-VOLE TO… DRACOMON, WEDDELLMON, LUPUSMON, ULYSSESMON, SPINXMON, PHOENIXMON!" Trickstermon skidded to a halt as the six Adult Digimon stood in front of him. He glared at all the champions that were surround him and said,
"So this is the power of being able to Digi-vole."
"That's right! And you're going to see it firsthand!" Lupusmon growled, showing his sharp teeth.
"You may be a higher level than us, but we out number you six to one!" Weddellmon said, stomping the ground with his large paw. Trickstermon scoff and bang his chest and said,
"Then hit me with your best shot!"
"With pleasure," Phoenixmon said. She began to flap her giant wings and took to the sky. "Want to join me Ulyssesmon?"
"Sure thing!" Ulyssemsmon agreed, flying her colossal wings as she took flight. Soon the two flying Digmon were high in the sky, ready to attack. When they were both at the same level, the nodded at each other and lunch their attacks onto Trickstermon.
"Sliver Wind!"
"Fire Spiral!" The two attack soared downward side by side. They were coming right at the magician Digimon with all their power. However, Trickstermon did not even bother to dodge the attack. He grin as the two attack hit him right on! Dust surrounded him when the two attacks hit him. Nate jumped into the air and yelled,
"Direct hit!" Phoenixmon and Ulyssemsmon both turn their head and smile at each other. They had defeated at powerful Digimon in just one attack. Or did they? Out of the cloud of dust, Trickstermon jumped out of the cloud and up into the air. Higher and higher the magician Digimon climb, all the way yelling,
"That was fun! Now it's my turn!" In no time at all, he was right on the same level as the fire bird Digimon and the butterfly Digimon.
"52 Slice Up!" Trickstermon wave his hand forward and cards of all the suits came straight to the two Digimon. These cards were no ordinary playing cards, they were sharp as blades and could cut through anything. The card cut through both Phoenixmon and Ulyssemsmon as if they were made of paper, as scare from on their bodies. Soon they came crashing down to the ground, falling faster and faster. They both landed hard on the ground, making dust fly away from, and Trickstermon landed gently on the ground fixing his hat a bit.
"PHOENIXMON!" Emily cried out as tears fell from her eyes. She ran right for her Digimon to see if she was okay.
"ULYSSEMSMON HANG ON!" May shouted as she ran after Emily to see if her Digimon was okay as well. The other Digimon glared at Trickstermon for doing such a thing. Trickstermon, on the other hand, was merely grinning at them as he wave his hand for them to come at him some more.
"If that's how you want it fine!" Dracomon said through gritted teeth. With that the other four Digimon attack Trickstermon on both sides.
"Dragon Force!"
"Ice Ball Bomb!"
"Fist of Anubis!"
Moon Beam!" The attack come whooshing at Tricstermon from both sides. However, the magician Digimon was not afraid of the oncoming attacks. He raise one finger in the air and yelled,
"Do you want to see some Magic!"
"Magic Trick!" With that two black boxes with white question mark appear out of nowhere. The suddenly open just as the attack came to him. Instead of the boxes being destroyed, they absorbed the attacks. When the attack were all absorbed, the boxes close up with a CLICK. Trickstermon chuckled and he swung his finger around. The boxes then began to spin around the magician Digimon so fast that they were all a blur to them. When they finally stop, they were faces at Dracomon, Weddellmon, Spinxmon and Lupusmon. With a snap of his fingers, the boxes open and Spinxmon and Lupusmon went to the dragon and huge seal Digimon and Dracomon and Weddelmon attacks were heading for the tiger and wolf Digimon. All four of them did not expect this could happen. Their eyes widen at their attacks hit them hard! The all went flying and crashing into trees, and all the time Trickstermon was wiping dust off his shoulders.
"SPINXMON….DAMMIT NO!" Iris cried as she ran to her Digimon.
"HANG ON WEDDELLMON! I'M COMING WITH THE FIRST AID KIT!" Nate shouted, putting on his helmet and running to his Digimon.
"LUPUSMON!" Kenta shouted as he was near his Digimon. Jake, like the others, ran over to Dracomon to see if he was okay. The dragon Digimon slowly got up to his feet and turn to look at Jake.
"Don't…worry about us…" he said weakly, he almost fell down but he got himself back up, "We all can still fight." The kids all watch as all their Digimon slowly rose back up to their feet. Jake saw the determine look in Dracomon eyes, but he also saw how badly hurt his and the other Digimon were. He shook his head, holding back his tears, and yelled,
"No! We need to fall back now! You're all too hurt to fight more!" Dracomon stared at his partner for a moment. It was his honor as a Digimon to continue to fight on to the end. However, he and the other felt a duty to these children that was far beyond honor. Dracomon nodded and pick up Jake and place him behind his shoulders. The other did the same with their partners and together they all ran or flew away from that magician Digimon. Trickstermon watch as the kids and their Digimon ran deeper into the forest. He grin as they disappeared as he said,
"Looks like the audience is coming to you, Tigerlillymon."
"What the heck was that all about!?" Iris yelled as she road on the back of Spinxmon. The kids were getting as far away from Trickstermon as best as they could on their Digimon.
"I'm not completely sure," May began to explain, riding the back of Ulyssemsmon, "But this might have something to do with the reason why we're here."
"Okay, what do you mean?" Nate asked, holding onto Weddelmon thick fur. Ulyssemsmon flew a bit lower to the ground, so that May could explain herself.
"Well that Digimon said something about having a Dark Master, correct?" May said looking down at the others.
"Yeah," Emily said nodding her head as she rode on Phoenixmon. Then she snap her fingers and quickly added, "So we're here to beat this Dark Master and save the Digital World!" May nodded, but she could not help but feel that she was not getting the full picture here. Jake, who was still on Dracomon's shoulders, looked back at where they came.
"Looks like they're stepping up their game now," he said looking forward, "But how are we going to fight that Digimon from now on?" While riding on the back of Lupusmon, Kenta eyes widen as he realized something. He turn to the other and yelled, so that they could hear him,
"Didn't that Digimon say something about others?" No sooner did Kenta said that, then a dark green vine wrap itself around Lupusmon and pull itself up. Kenta roll on the ground as the wolf Digimon was pull up to the tops of the trees. The rest of the group stop and looked to see Lupusmon biting and clawing at the vine that was around his neck. Yet, as much as he tried he could not get free. The giggling of some girl began to echo all over the place. As the rest of the kids got off their Digimon, their heads all looked around to see where the giggling had come from. Then the heard a voice from on top of the trees saying,
"Bad dog, bad." Their head all shot up, and they saw Tigerlillymon perched on one of the top branches. Kenta gripped his Digi-vice as he watch his partner struggle to get free, but with no luck.
"Who the heck are you!?" he shouted up to Tigerillymon. The animal plant Digimon put a hand over her mouth as she giggle a bit.
"You're kind of cute when your angry," she said as she began to hover down to where Lupusmon was. "Why don't you use you Digi-vice to see who I am, Chosen Child."
"Oh God!" Emily said softly and slowly as she put her hands over her mouth, "It's another one of them!" Kenta was breathing deeply, trying to keep his cool, as he scan the new Digimon that was above them.
Name: Tigerlillymon
Type: Plant Beast
Level: Perfect
Attacks: Tiger Seeds, Grass Blade Claw
Info: Tigerillymon has a powerful combination of beauty and power. She is the combines of both a plant and beast type Digimon. It was once said she was an innocent little flower, until a virus came along and took hold of her. Now she had a wicked power of plant and beast to take down her foes with.
As the kids read over Tigerlillymon's data, Lupusmon howl in pain as he was being strangled tightly. Kenta gripped his Digi-vice even tighter as he watch all of this.
"You know you Chosen Child amuse me a bit," the plant animal Digimon began to say, flying down a bit. "Take your skin for example. Your skins are so….pinkish….orange…color. It's so ugly to see on such creatures." Even though they were staring at Tigerlillymon, the kids could not help but touch their skin a little bit. Her words, as cruel and wickled as they are, made them stop and think. Is their skin weird, especially in this world. "But take a look at my skin," she continue to say. She lightly ran her claws down her tan skin arm. "It's a perfect color for one such as myself. And it's perfectly tan all over my body. Digimon of all kind can't help but stare at me." She floated around to show her back and looked at all of them and winked. Spinxmon could not take this anymore. She growl loudly as she yelled,
"Put him down already!" Tigerlillymon slowly turn around and stared at the tiger Digimon.
"Fair enough," the plant beast Digimon began, and slow smirk forming on her face, "Here you go." With that, the vine smash Lupusmon hard against a tree before letting him go and having him fall to the ground. Kenta ran to where Lupusmon was falling, but it was too late for Lupusmon had already crash into the ground. Kenta dash into the cloud of dust that was cause by Lupusmon fall. Just as Kenta got to the wolf Digimon, he began to glow and change back to Houndmon, who was just lying there. Kenta pause for a moment, before he scoop up his partner in his hand. He did not know if Houndmon was okay or not, only that he wanted to have him in his arms now. He hear the dog Digimon whimper a little bit to tell Kenta he was okay. That was all that Kenta need to hear, as he pull his partner closer. Spinxmon roared loudly in the air and shouted,
"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MENT!" With that she pounce into the air and straight for Tigerillymon. The plant Digimon took no interest as the tiger Digimon came for her.
"Fist of Anubis!" Spinxmon attack came right at Tigerlillymon, until…
"Tiger Seeds!" Tigerlillymon toss out a few yellow seeds at the oncoming attack. Suddenly the pods of the seeds burst open and they stared to take the form of a great green tiger. The plant tiger roar as it slice through Spinxmon's attack, like it was nothing. Tigerlillymon could not do nothing as the attack came right at her. She screeched loudly at the plant tiger slice at her body. Spinxmon began to glow as she fell to the ground and soon she was back to Lynxmon and rolling on the ground to Iris's feet. Iris's mouth was open, but not words came out. All she bent down and touch Lynxmon's head, and saw that she was still okay. The other Digimon saw the plan tiger turn a faded gray, and broke apart and flew in the air. Tigerlillymon ran her claw fingers through her rose color hair and said sweetly to the other Digimon,
"Who's next?"
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!" Dracomon shouted as he took a deep breath.
"Burning Flame!" The stream of flames came out of Dracomon's mouth and went straight to Tigerlillymon. The plant beast Digimon put a hand over her mouth and giggled, mocking the dragon Digimon attack. She suddenly disappeared just as the attack came out her. Dracomon breathed deeply as he franticly looked around for Tigerlillymon. Then, he suddenly hear her voice whisper in his ear,
"Too slow." The dragon Digimon jerk his head around, but there was no one there. "Or maybe," Trigerlillymon said, right in front of Dracomon and the others, "I'm too fast!"
"Grass Blade Claw!" He claws seem to grow larger and sharper as she came after the Digimon, then suddenly disappeared. In four quick slashes of green light, Dracomon, Phoenixmon, and Ulyssesmon all crash to the ground and Weddellmon fell to his side. The all began to glow and change back to their rookie forms. The kids were speechless at what just happen. Tigerlillymon, who was hover above them and checking her claw to see if she had chip them, had beaten four adult Digimon in one attack! Jake, Emily, Nate and May all dash over to see if their partners were alright. Emily held Canarymon in her arms as tears slowly pour down her cheeks. She was happy that Canarymon was alright, but it tore her heart to see her partner being hurt like this.
"LET'S RUN NOW!" she shouted at her tears fell to the ground. The others did not argue with her. With their partners in their arms, the kids all ran deeper into the woods, away from the plant beast Digimon. Tigerlillymon gently stroke her cheek with her sharp claws. She giggled a little bit as she said in a cute voice,
"Aw! Looks like Painmon is going to have the fun of finishing those children off."
The kids were still trying to make their escape, but it was becoming harder. First they meet Trickstermon, who had a dark sense of humor and deadly magical attacks, then they face off with Tigerlillymon, a dangerous beautiful flower that had sharp thorn, and all this happen because they wanted to find out who this smoking stranger was. As they were trying to make their escape, the kids try to see if their Digimon were okay. Nate was shaking Sealmon to see if he was still around or not. Sealmon's head was toss back and forth as Nate was shaking him more and more saying,
"Sealmon! Selamon! Aw, come one buddy! Say something sarcastic!"
S….Something sarcastic…" Sealmon weakly joke at Nate. Nate sigh deeply as the sight of Sealmon was still okay, and stop shaking him.
"You can stop and put us down now," Lynxmon suddenly said, "We're alright now." When she was saying this, she was looking down to the ground. Though she was not hurt too badly, she and the other Digimon had their pride hurt. They soon stopped in the middle of the woods, far away from either the magician or plant beast Digimon. Though the Digimon were standing on their own, they still wobble a little bit here and there.
"Are you sure, you'll be fine?" Kenta asked, his voice cracking a bit as he place a hand behind Houndmon's ear. Houndmon put a paw on Kenta's hand and answered,
"Sure we are. We Digimon heal quickly." The worst thing was to have their partners worry about them, for the kids already have enough thing to worry about. Caterpillarmon turn her head every which way to see if everything was okay.
"I think they didn't fallow us," the worm Digimon said with a sigh, "I think now we can relax a little bit." May nodded as she look up to the blue sky, but it was block by all the green leaves that were on the trees. After a while she began to say,
"Let's hope we can rest up before…" Yet before she could finish, something came flying down to the sky! The kids and the Digimon all dash away, as the Black Spear landed in the ground. As soon as the sharp end of the spare was in the ground, the red tip began to glow and black electricity began to spark on the edges. Iris blinked at the strange weapon for a moment, then she pointed at the Black Spear and exclaimed,
"What the hell is that thing! It came out of nowhere and nearly stab us to death!" Suddenly, they heard an emotionless voice coming out of the nearby woods saying,
"It's call the Black Spear. And it's the weapon that's going to defeat you Chosen Children." They kids eyes widen and their Digimon turn pale as the crown jewel himself came striding into the area, Painmon! The wind blew past them, as the kids started at Painmon. Then Emily worked up the courage to say,
"Y….your one of…them….right?" Painmon nodded once and said,
"You're catching on quickly." Jake slowly pull out his Digi-vice and scan this Demon Digimon to know him better.
Name: Painmon
Type: Demon
Level: Perfect
Special Attacks: Pain Ball, Iron Madden
Info: Painmon is the deadliest Digimon that is around. He flights with no emotion, so he feels nothing when he obliterates his enemies. They say, he is unable to feel any pain his enemies toss at him.
Jake gulp when he read Paimon info. A Digimon who cannot feel pain, how are they going to beat him then? As the others were thinking, Kenta was making his move. He was slowly inching his way to the Black Spare. If he could pull the spare out, he might be able to fight off Painmon with the weapon. Painmon's eyes quickly darted to Kenta as he said,
"By all means, pull the Black Spare out. Just don't scream too loudly when 10,000 volts of electricity goes through your whole body." Kenta gasped as he quickly pull his hand away from the Black Spear. He was so close to having himself being shocked by electricity, that it scared him a bit. Deemon had enough of this, so he ran into front of Painmon with his fist ball together.
"You know what! I don't care how strong you're!" the little dragon Digimon began to cry out, "We're here to protect the kids! So if you want them, you have to go through me! Ready Jake!" Jake felt something inside of him burning. It was the small feeling of hope. Hope that they can beat these new foes no matter what! He pointed his Digi-vice at Deemon and yelled,
"You know it pal!" Jake's Digi-vice began to glow and so did Deemon. He was going to the next level, or so he thought.
"DEEMON DIGI-VOLE TO…." But then suddenly the light for both Jake's Digi-vice and Deemon faded out. "DE….mon?" Deemon was still in his child from, not Dracomon at all. He quickly touch his body all over, to make sure it was real or not. Jake was looking at his Digi-vice, shaking a bit to see if it was still working. Canarymon flew next to Deemon, was in a bit of panic now, and said,
"Don't worry! You must be tired, let me give it a shot!" She nodded back at her partner, and Emily nodded back.
"We've got your backs!" she shouted pointed her Digi-vice at Canarymon. Both Canarymon and Emily's Digi-vice began to glow, just like Jake's did.
"CANARYMON DIGI-VOLE TO…" But then both glows faded back to nothing just like before. "Not…Phoenix….mon…." May looked at both Deemon and Canarymon, was were still touching themselves to see what was going one with them.
"What in the world is happening here!" May exclaimed as she looked at her own partner.
"Let me explain," Paimon said that sent a cold feeling down their spins. He pointed at the Black Spear and continue to say, "That Black Spare is not just for show. We know the of the power of Digi-vole. It's a very powerful tool, but we figure out a way to stop that. This tool, this Black Spear, stop the Digi-vole process altogether." Every gasped when they heard what Painmon had just said. Their Digimon cannot Digi-vole when this Black Spear was here, and if they try to pull it out, they'll get shocked. This was almost like the Black Spots, but a lot worst! Deemon girted his fist in rage as he saw the kids' faces turn white. Painmon had deliver a painful blow, he had taken away the kids' hope! He was not going to let that happen.
"I STILL DON'T CARE! HEAD SMASH!" With all his might, Deemon head-butted Painmon right in the chest. Painmon just stood there, his eyes staring right at Deemon, who was back on his feet. It seem like the attack had no effect on Painmon what so ever, until. Jake screamed in pain, making Deemon and the others look at him, terrified looks popping up on their faces. He grab his chest and he fell down to his knees. Jake's face twisted in pain as a few tear drops fell to the ground. Emily quickly put her hand on his shoulder and asked in a very terrified voice,
"Jake! What's wrong with you?!" Taking deep breaths, Jake was able to say,
"I….don't know….It felt….like someone toss….a boulder…..into my chest…"
"You can thank your partner for that," the demon Digimon said, breaking this emotional tension. They all wanted to ignore him, but they were curious on what he meant. Painmon began to say in a low voice, "I don't feel pain. I take the pain I might feel, and transfer it to someone else." Then he held out his hand, his palm facing up, and continue to say, "But that's not all I can do. I can also manipulate that pain of others too, and transfer that into whoever I want." They all just started as six glowing blood red balls, five on each finger and one in his palm, appeared.
"Pain Ball!" The six glowing red ball whooshed out of his hand, and went into the Digimon chests! As soon as the glow ball went in, their bodies began to vibrate and they all felt horrible, terrible and unbelievable pain going through their whole bodies. The Digimon began to scream and howl in pain as the fell to the ground, still vibrating all over. But it was not just the Digimon who were feeling this pain, but the kids too. All the kids bodies began to vibrate and they all felt the same powerful pain that their Digimon were feeling. Painmon was manipulate the Digimon's pain so that the kids could feel it as well. The kids cry out as tears of pain drop to the ground. They all drop down to all fours, and hope that this feeling would end soon. With a wave of his evil hand, Painmon stop all their pain. The Digimon were shaking a little bit and so were the kids as well. They were all breathing deeply, trying to get feeling back into their bodies.
"Aw! Painmon you have all the fun!" Tigerlillymon said as she hover down next to Painmon. Painmon said nothing as he started at the kids and there Digimon.
"And I see that Snowglobmon's invention worked too!" Trickstermon said, appearing on the other side of Painmon in a puff of smoke. The demon Digimon nodded his head and said,
"Now that that is taken care of, we can go back to base and inform Lobemon that his invention works. Then he can get started mass-producing these things." The kids were still too weak to hear everything they were saying. The only words they heard were 'Lobemon and 'mass-producing'
"But what about these ugly little things?" the plant beast Digimon asked pointed at Emily, who was on her knees. "Can't we just get rid of them?" Painmon shook his head and said,
"The master's orders were to meet these kids and test the Dark Spare. That's all we do."
"But surely the master wouldn't mind us taken out one or two of them?!" Trickstermon asked with a little grin. He pointed his sharp playing card at Nate, who was weakly trying to get up on his feet but to no use. Painmon was about to make his answer, when suddenly…
"Escape Smoke!" A cloud of white smoke began to fill the area, making it impossible for anyone to see. Trickstermon and Tigerillymon both cough, for the smoke got into their lungs. Painmon, on the other hand, seem to be not effect by the smoke. But his eyes were quickly looking for anyone who had use this smokescreen. The kids were now on their knees, but still hurt all over. The Digimon were trying to pull themselves up as well, but it was going slowly. The smoke was not just confusing Painmon and the others, but the kids and the Digimon as well. Before anyone could say anything, and gray hand appeared out of somewhere in the smoke and stretched out to the kids.
"Come with me!" the voice of the hand said, who sounded strangely familiar.
