Chapter 3
" Get that Strappado ready!" Lucemon barked at Dyansmon and Crusadermon managed to tie a long piece of rope around EmperorGreymon's wrist. EmperorGreymon's hands were tied behind his back by the same rope, while the rest of the rope was tied over a beam as Crusadermon walked over to the rope on the other side of the beam and began to pull hard, and with Dyansmon's help, pulled EmperorGreymon high into the air. This motion caused an intense pain in EmperorGreymon's arms as he screamed in pain when he felt his shoulder joints dislocate from there sockets, creating a sickening pop sound as Lucemon smirked, knowing the method was working. " Even th-t-though you may t-t-try to kill me by torturing me, i will never betray my fellow warriors! And you can forget about trying to take over the digital world, you bitch of a fallen angel!" EmperorGreymon growled in pain and fury, as Lucemon growled in anger and then looked over to Crusadermon and Dyansmon, who began to pull harder, making EmperorGreymon scream out in more pain as his dislocated arms began to stretch even more.
And yet, at the same time, his screams of pain also alerted Sammy and the other Legendary Warrior heard his screams just as they stormed the fortress to rescue EmperorGreymon. Sammy ran in first, as she was horrified when she saw what Lucemon was doing to EmperorGreymon. "This is exactly what I saw!" Sammy squealed as her left ear twitched. "All we can do is sit and watch!
Thats when Lucemon brought out his sword to finish off EmperorGreymon, getting annoyed that EmperorGreymon wasn't surrendering. "If you won't give up even with torture, then I have no choice but to kill you, EmperorGreymon." Lucemon hissed as he raised his sword in a striking position, and then swiftly stabbed EmperorGreymon's chest, making the legendary warrior scream out in pain. Then, to Sammy's and the Ancient Spirits horror, Lucemon began to absorb EmperorGreymon's data.
With the last of his strength, EmperorGreymon said with determination in his voice "You guys are now going to have to finish the fight. I know you can defeat Lucemon and his Royal Knights. This world is counting on you," and he slowly turned to look at Sammy as he said softly " Sammy, thank you... for being my friend." as he closed his eyes for the final time as the last of his data was absorbed by Lucemon...
Before the other Legendary Warriors and Sammy could react, Lucemon then fled as Dyansmon and Crusadermon unleashed a powerful attack combination as there master fled, creating confusion, which was just enough for when the dust settled from the attacks, they could see the Royal Knights and Lucemon were gone, as if they had vanished.
Then hit Sammy hard that one of her best friends, EmperorGreymon, had died right in front of her, and she couldn't do anything. Behind her, AncientSphinxmon was trembling in fury and anger as he roared " EmpeorGreymon, I swear I shall avenge you! lucemon shall pay for what he did to you!" As did the other warriors and ancient spirits roared in reply as well.
They all swore by there lives to avenge EmperorGreymon's death, and they swore to bring hell upon Lucemon for his betrayal and crimes.
Now, the Digital world's darkest hour had become a morbid reality...
