Chapter 3: Loosing on the Home Turf

"It's time to muster all your strength my darlings!" The darkened silhouette of a man rallied his minions, millions of freshly hatched Tsumemon whooped and hollered. "Now go!" the shadowy figure was of a man, his frame skinny, a his eyes were blazing red and excited. His other features were a mystery.

Witht the end of his speech, the old man waved his hand, and his pint sized disciples vanished. "And you three." He turned his eys to his three most trusted followers, who he gave the title, "The Dark Legione". Examon, their leader, a massive red dragon with wings more than twice the size of his body, he possesed a sizable lance attatched to its left forearm. Second in command was Dynasmon, a draconic knight digimon, he was Examon's most loyal follower, and only became a Legioneer because of him. Duftmon, the final of the Dark Legione trio, was a leopard knight digimon, known as the "Silent Warrior" because he deems speaking uneccissary, rarely doing so.

"My lord," Each member of the Legione dipped their heads as Examon spoke. "Shall we fallow the girl?" He rose to meet his master face to face.

"Yes, capture the King, kill the others, and make her show her true form." The shadowed firgure of the man wlked closer to his top general. "Better yet...."

"Where do these things keep coming from?" Eli held fast to Eramon, Saphiramon's champion form, a massive dragon type digimon with a large muscular frame, and giant wings. The thick white fur from his rookie stage, had been greatly shortened.

"It's like they multiply!" Arrianna clung to Dorugamon, a purple colored winged dragon, who was Dorumons digivolved form. His champion form was much faster and substantially stronger than its rookie form.

"Slymon, get us out of here." Darcwalker remained calm, staying close to Slymon while the mountain of Tsumemon grew larger and larger.

"Gmmatmmmonnn!" Mary-Alice tried to rip the In-Training level digimon from her face.

"Thunder Paw!" Gatomon struck the hand shaped digimon, turning it to data.

"Shadow Diamond Storm!" Slymon bounded from wall to wall, gaining the best vantage point to strike the tiny foes, and blast through one of the castle walls. His attack formed tiny black diamond shards, which were shot at a stone wall, but it was absorbed by a mound of Tsumemon, leaving numerous puffs of data.

"Blast it."Slymon continued to attack the wall, but again and agian the small hand like digimon got in his way.

"Great idea Slymon!" Eramon struggled himself, and Eli, free from the digimon who tried to smother them. "Crescent Purifacation!" A crescent shape beam erupted fom Eramon's mouth, destroying more Tsumemon.

"We have to get the human's out of here!"Gatomon bounced from Tsumemon, to Tsumemon, striking each one, causing them to burst into data.

"She's right," Dorugamon ran through the Tsumemon wings hardened with steel, destroyin his share of the tiny pests.

"But how?" Eramon fought off the Tsumemon, but to no avail, the swarm would not let up.

"This how!" Darcwalker touched the Sword shaped bone carving on her necklace. Purpe light burst from her chest, covering her intire body, and Slymon's body as well.

"Slymon, warp digivolve to." Six blades erupted from his back, and black stripes appeared on his fur. hos Appearance did not change much, other than the black markings, but he was now YaibaSlymon, and ultimate level digimon. "YaibaSlymon." He announced.

"Now YaibaSlymon! Destroy them!" Darcwalker coached her partner.

"Dancing Devil!" The black-Purple fox digimon's movements were so fast, they could not be seen, the only way to tell he was attacking was the pillars of data that shot into the air from were mountains of Tsumemon were.

In a matter of seconds, YaibaSlymon had destroyed every last Tsumemon that had invaded the castle.

"Amazing," Eli and his partner spoke in unison. "What power." The massive white dragon digimon spoke alone.

"Bravo Yaibaslymon, Bravo!" As the cloud of data settled, three digimon came into view. Examon was clapping sarcastically. "You would be a great asset to The Dark Legione. will you join us?"

"Dark Legione?" YaibasSlymon Stepped back, the six blade protruding from his back were each poised for a fight. "Never, leave this castle. before we force you." he crouched forward.

"Pity. Now we have to kill you, DNA Disintegrator!" Dynasmon stepped from beside Examon. Palms faced out toward Yaibaslymon, the small orang jewels in their centers began to glow. The attack summoned a large white-blue beam with a gargantuan radius.

The attack seemed to hit it's mark. "DIE!" from behind Dynasmon, YaibaSlymon attacked, the blades on his back working at extreme speeds, but Their target was missed every time.

"Back at ya."Dynasmon through a single punch, that landed square on the purple foxes jaw. Yaibaslymon flew across the hallway, slamming through the grey stone wall.

"Crescent!" Eramon tried to attack Examon from behind, but was struck by Examon, who appeared over head, and performed an oddly graceful nose dive, knockin Eramon to the ground. The attack forced The massive white dragon digimon to revert into Sephiramon.

"Saphiramon!" Eli ran to his unconscious partner he felt all over its furry body, for what not even he knew, before picking him up.

"Gatomon, they're to strong, we have to get out of here." Mary-Alice Fought with gatomon, who was kick and punching but was restrained by her partner's arms.

"Ril- Darcwalker, is yaibaslymon ok?" Arrianna ran to her Feral cousin.

"Yes." Darcwalker emerged from the debris of the wall, Yaibaslymon brside her, "Mary-Alice right, we must leave."

"But how?" Eli approached, Saphiramon in his arms.

"None of us even some close to matching their power." Arrianna admitted.

"Yoohoo." The teens turned to see Examon pointin his lance-like weapon at them. "Hate to just kill and run but..."

A black blurr flashed in front of the Drak Legioneer. The Digimon, and the humans were gone. nothing was left of them. Still, Examon smiled triumphantly. "Castle Eldoradi is ours."
