Chapter 2
The day after, AncientSphinxmon was sitting in the shadows, thinking over the events have occurred yesterday. He was concerned about what Sammy said, about a dark creature betraying the Legendary Warriors. And speaking of Sammy, he then noticed her sitting next to him, as she looked concerned.
"It looks like the others don't like you," Sammy said. "Are you an outcast?"
AncientSphinxmon looked down at Sammy as he sighed sadly " Yes, you can say Im an outcast. Yet EmperorGreymon dose not see me as one. In fact, I could trust him more than some of the other Legendary Warriors. He's always been the one that has stood up for me when the others would shun me, and remind me why I am a Legendary Warrior. He really is my only friend here, besides AncientGreymon, and Lady Ophanimon." AncientSphinxmon explained to Sammy. "I'm an outcast too," Sammy said. "My daddy sent me to Earth because of this." She pointed to her left looked down at her, with a mixture of sadness and curiosity. " Sammy, where do you come from exactly, and why did your father sent you to earth because of your left ear? "I come from a planet called Vice Versa," Sammy explained. "And my daddy's the planet's leader. He sent me away because no one of my species has an ear like mine."
" Are you mad at your father for banishing you from your home world ?" AncientSphinxmon asked her.
Meanwhile, back in Lady Ophanimon's castle, EmperorGreymon was walking towards the training hall to meet AncientGreymon for another one of there sparring matches, when he passed by Lucemon's room, he stopped dead in his tracks when he heard Lucemon hiss " That yellow creature was trouble from the start. Yet, it has caused thing to play into my hand. Now with everyone thinking AncientSphinxmon is the traitor, they are clueless has to what I have in store for there precious Lady Ophanimon."
"Yet what about EmperorGreymon, he is a threat to your plot master, he knows too much." a female sounding voice suddenly said "True, Crusadermon, do what you two, my Royal Knights, to make sure he dose not alert the others even if you must beat him or kill him." Lucemon growled.
" As you command master!", a second voice, this time, a much more masculine voice with a slight hiss to it.
" I need to warn the others. Where all in danger!" EmperorGreymon realized as that it wasn't AncientSphinxmon who was the traitor, it was Lucemon!
Yet he never had the chance to tell the others, for, just as he turned his back to Lucemon's door, he suddenly heard a cry shout " Dragon Thrower!" and then immense pain course through his body as he let out a cry of pain and passed out.
" Take him to my fortress, my Royal Knights, and make sure no one sees you." Lucemon ordered.
Meanwhile, both AncientSphinxmon and Sammy heard EmperorGreymon's cries of pain and began to look for him right away. Yet when they reached Lucemon's room, they were horrified to find a trail of blood and the hallway looked like it was a battle zone...
Sammy's ear started twitching again. "Oh boy..." she muttered. AncientSphinxmon noticed Sammy's ear twitching again. " Sammy, why is your ear twitching, it always does that in a situtation like this." AncientSphinxmon asked Sammy. "It's my talent," Sammy explained. "My ear allows me to sense any living being. It also twitches when I sense a bad thing nearby." AncientSphinxmon then asked " Then if that is your ablity, then, what do you see in me..." Well..." Sammy began. "You're not a threat at the moment, but I'm sensing a dark shadow in your future."
AncientSphinxmon nodded to her and sighed. "Sammy, I fear your are right..." the ancient spirit of darkness said gravely...
Soon enough, AncientMermaimon began to accuse AncientSphinxmon of attacking EmperorGreymon, yet KendoGarurumon realized that it wasn't AncientSphinxmon, it was...
" Wait a minute, its LUCEMON!" the beast spirit of light shouted with horrified realization when he recongized the scent of EmperorGreymon's attacker, startling the other Legendary Warriors in the room, along with the other Ancient Spirits.
