The four looked around at the small cavern.
"How were you those trees able to repair themselves?" Kyo asked Felimon.
"This world has a regeneration program. It causes the world itself to go back to it's original shape. But it made it hard to build new homes. So, when Zeta was reconfigured, the program wasn't transferred," Felimon explained to them.
"How do you know all of this?" Kyo asked. Lao and Crabmon just sat and listened.
"I used to live here. I was a Blackgatomon, back then. When the world reconfigured, I wasn't able to make it to the gate in time. A lot of digimon weren't able to make it. It quickly became survival of the fittest. Whenever someone was defeated, their digiegg opened a portal to the reconfigured Zeta. I was able to survive for a while, then I was defeared. When I was reborn, I became Felimon and your partner," he explained to Kyo.
"Why did you keep your memories as Blackgatomon a secret from us till now?" Lao asked.
"I didn't. I only remembered when I got here. But it turns out that I'm the same digimon now as I was back then," he told them.
"It's possible that the other digimon are revived digimon, as well. We'll have to ask them when we dind them. If we find them…" Kyo said.
"I'm sure we will. I just hope we find them sooner than later," Lao said. Just then they felt an earthquake.
"Oh great, he's coming back," a voice said from the back of the cave. The four of them looked over to see a large digimon step out of the shadows.
"APEMON!!!" They cried out together as they saw the yellow ape.
"Huh? Oh, hello. Long time no see," Apemon said.
"We didn't see you before," Crabmon said.
"I was asleep. So, how'd you all end up here?" Apemon asked.
"Darklordmon sent us here. What about you?" Kyo asked.
"While traveling, I fell into a hole that lead here, but I was knocked unconscious. When I awoke, a big brute named Callismon attacked me saying that I was an enemy of Darklordmon. Don't get me wrong, I am, but the nerve of that guy. Attacking me like that. I hid in this cave and waited till he left. Then, I started gathering food. I've been here for a week now," Apemon explained to them.
They felt another earthquake. This one was a lot closer.
"Well, next time we see him, we'll beat him," Felimon said.
"We'll see about that," said the familiar voice of Callismon. They turned around to see Callismon standing outside the cave. "Deep Forest." Callismon smashed the front part of the cave.
The two digidestined looked at their partners and nodded.
"Felimon warp digivolve to WerePanthermon."
"Crabmon warp digivolve to Machinedramon."
"Digital Armor Activate." Kyo and Loa cried together as they activated their armor. Apemon also readied himself for action.
Callismon laughed as he looked at the five. "You cannot even hope of defeating me!" Callismon attacked again, and that was when Lao noticed Callismon's biggest weakness. A noticeable smile grew across her face.
