"Dragon Claw," Warriortyromon said, slashing with his claws at Skullgreymon. Jason slashed his sword and a blast came from the tip as it hit Skullgreymon. Skullgreymon screamed in agony before digitizing into a digiegg. Three black spheres appeared above the digiegg. "Dragon Blast," Warriortyromon cried as a big red beam came out of his mouth.
Nosa scowled at them. "Looks like that's my cue to leave," he said. He turned into a black cloud and flew off.
"So, we're just going to let him go?" Gre asked.
"Yup. Besides, he'll be back," Jason said.
"Woah," Gre said as the digiegg he was holding started to hatch. A Poyomon came out of the digiegg.
"Things are getting better," Tao said smiling.
"I'm back for good, guys," Jason said storing his armor. Warriortyromon had reverted back to being Velocimon. Everyone's spirits were up now that Jason was back. Jason lead the group into the cave below the desert. There were glowing mushrooms everywhere. They followed the cave a few miles before resting.
Jason went over to Orbmon. "Listen, I'm sorry for causing all this trouble. I know what you're gong to say. 'It wasn't your fault. Darklordmon was controlling you.' But he was using my inner fear to control me. He was using something from inside me to do his dirty work. It's that part of me that apologizes," Jason said.
Orbmon smiled. "You've learned a lot since coming to Zeta," he told Jason.
Jason gave him a smile in return.
They lit a fire using the mushrooms. Everyone sat around the fire as Jason told them what happened when Jason was 3. He went on to tell them what it was like under Darklordmon's control. He continued by telling them what he had been doing since he left the group. He told them that Nosa had been visiting him frequently trying to get information out of him. He told them that Darklordmon had been cooking up a plan to stop them.
"Our digimon partners having been getting stronger, so Darklordmon has been sending stronger henchman. Orbmon, you once said that you were one of Darklordmon's top eight, right?" Jason asked.
Orbmon nodded. "The top eight are his generals. They follow the orders of the four elemental lords, who were created by Darklordmon. They are practically an extension of himself," Orbmon explained.
"We need to be ready. These elemental lords are going to be difficult to beat. We will get stronger and beat them," Jason said. Everybody was glad to hear Jason's words of encouragement.
They took turns keeping watch while everyone slept. Two people kept watch at a time so it would be easier to keep watch.
