Chapter Twenty: Continent of Darkness
We were thrown off the train. We took a vote whether to continue through to the continent of darkness. In the end we all end up going. Zoe and I whimpered as we walk around the dark forest.
"Do you think that digimon can become ghosts?" asked Tommy.
"Mnnn" I whimpered.
"What kind of talk is that the next thing you talk is ghost stories?" Zoe said.
"It was a dark and stormy night luckily there was a handsome young man waiting to rescue you." J.P said.
"Give it a rest" I sighed annoyed.
There was a howl and Zoe, Tommy, Neemon, Bokomon and I screamed and tackled the closest person. Tommy and I went to Takuya, Zoe went to Koji, Neemon and Bokomon pounced on J.P. I whimpered and I clutch tighter.
"Tommy… Sakura… it's… aright… it's… just... the… wind" Takuya said uncomfortable.
"Oh, sorry." I said as I let go of the blushing Takuya.
"Oh sorry about that." Zoe said and let go of Koji.
"No…problem" he said.
"Let go of me. You're acting like my Aunt Mabel dog." J.P said.
"Aunt Mabel dog would have turn tail and run by now." Bokomon said.
"We're not going back we been walking for hours." Takuya said.
"We'll we just have to walk a few hours back." Bokomon said.
"Then we can get out of this poor excuse of a dark closet."
"Hey guy's there something glowing." Said Tommy.
"Fireflies?" J.P asked.
"A city?" Koji asked.
"Come on guys let check it out." Takuya commanded.
"Hey it's a bunch of glowing moss." I said.
"Is it safe to touch?" asked Koji.
"Well there is only one way to find out." J.P said picking up some glowing moss.
"Sure we can use it to light our way." Said J.P
"Wow this thing works great." I commented. We walk towards a cave.
"Hey it's a cave." J.P said
"It's too perfect like it was dug out by someone." Stated Zoe.
"Or dug out by something." Tommy said eerily.
"Hey anyone in there?" asked Takuya.
"I guess not…" I said.
"Wah, I feel like this place is a ghost cavern." Bokomon cowered.
"Did anyone see that?" asked Tommy.
"Who's there show yourself." Screamed Takuya.
"Who's there show yourself" something repeated.
"What are you a parrot?" asked J.P.
"What are you a parrot?" It repeated again.
"What are you a parrot" Others repeated.
"Knock it off" scream Tommy. "Knock it off. Knock it off. Knock it off" They repeated.
"They'll mock us until we all go insane. We're doomed, doomed I tell you" cried Bokomon.
"You're the only on going insane." I sighed.
"Hey I know. Beetles batter butter and batter" Zoe said.
"Beetles batter butter and batter" They said.
"Just like I thought." Zoe said.
"Ok, mind cluing us in?" Takuya asked
"I get it tongue twisters, it will confuse them" I said.
"Zig six brick my bricks batter back" Said Takuya.
"Zig six brick my bricks batter back" they repeated.
"Peter piper poked the pickles patter packs" said Tommy.
They repeated it perfectly. "" J.P said. They repeated perfectly again and did the mistake as well.
"This isn't working." I stated.
"Oh, yea?" Koji said throwing a pile of glowing moss at the trees. Dozens of bat like digimon appeared.
"Those are Pipsimon, there mutant digimon who is stronger in the dark. They can reflect sounds back exactly as it is heard." Informed Bokomon. They flew into the cave. "For cave drawlers they are gentle digimons even if they are scary looking." Bokomon said.
"Just between us I think they are kind of cute" Zoe said.
"They are cute" I said. They repeated what Zoe and I said.
"Well I guess you're glad you came" Takuya said. Bokomon didn't understand what Takuya was getting at. "You just learn something didn't you?" Takuya said.
"If you don't know something then there is only one way to figure it out. Take a risk and go experience if for yourself." Said Koji.
"Why don't you write it down in the book, you'll be the first one to write about the continent of darkness, you'll be famous." Said Takuya.
"Really?" asked Bokomon.
"Yea and since you're writing a book about digimon, you might as well write the true adventures of the legendary digimon." I said.
"You can say how I control my beast spirit" Zoe said.
"I will like to be mentioned too and my cool hat" Tommy said pulling on his puffy hat.
"And how fearless I am." J.P joined.
"All right, I'll do it. Starting today I'll be writing about the great adventures of the legendary warriors of the continent." Bokomon announced.
"So will you write about me too?" Neemon asked.
"I suppose not." Said Bokomon. We all started laughing. "Well a good writer needs good material let's continued on." Bokomon said. A tree fell from nowhere and Zoe and I screamed.
"You're trip is going to be cut short." Someone said.
"Said who?" asked Takuya.
"Not Arbormon again." Complained Bokomon.
"Good guess" Arbormon laughed. He jumped and attacked the four Pipsimon. Their fractal code show and he ate it. I gasped. "You kids are the main course." Said Arbormon. He slide evolve into Petaldramon. Petaldramon charged at us we dodge to the side and meet up together. We all beast spirit evolve. I was the same sized as Zephyrmon and everyone else was a giant.
"I say it's Petal pummeling time" BurningGreymon said. Petaldramon ate a tree and grew bigger.
"That is just unfair, he was taller than me before and know he's way taller than me" I whined. "
Eating good and grow strong and tall." Petaldramon said.
"We can't eat trees like you." I said.
"Bolo Thunder" MetalKabuterimon said, firing at Petaldramon. Petaldramon got a scratch and he healed.
"My turn." Petaldramon said and went for MetalKabuterimon.
"Pryo Barrage" said BurningGreymon attracting attention.
"Plasma paws" Zephyrmon said and scratch Petaldramon.
"Come here" Petaldramon cried grabbing Zephyrmon with his tongue.
"Roses Rapier" I said and cut his tongue. I got hit with his tail while his other tail hit Zephyrmon.
"Frozen Arrowheads" Korikakumon said and caught the head of Petaldramon. Petaldramon pulled and Korikakumon fell to the ground.
"Thorn Jab" Petaldramon said jabbing his tail in the ground. It surrounded Korikakumon, MetalKabuterimon, KendoGarurumon, Zephyrmon and I. We were lifted to the air. "Leaf Cyclone" said Petaldramon.
"Hang on guys. Wild Fire Tsunami" said BurningGreymon. His attack was over powered by Petaldramon's attack we fell to the ground.
"Ow" I complained.
"Giving beast spirit to you, humans are like giving candies to pigs. Why don't you just hand them over?" Mocked Petaldramon.
"Never if you want these spirits you have to come over and get it." BurningGreymon struggled up.
"Lupine laser" Kendogarurumon fired at Petaldramon's head. Korikakumon went and grabbed Petaldramon leg trying to flip him over.
"Electron Cannon" MetalKabuterimon and bend down to fire at his tail. Korikakumon flipped Petaldramon's head.
"Wild Fire Tsunami" said BurningGreymon.
"Hurricane Gale." Said Zephyrmon.
"Rosen Blood" I said throwing in roses that got cut up into little slices. The bits of rose cut like many little knives covered in fire, while the fire and wind cut and burn him. Petaldramon fell and shrank back to his normal size.
Kendogarurumon side evolved to Lobomon. "Fractal code Digitized" Lobomon said and scanned Petaldramon's code and Petaldramon's spirit. Petaldramon turn back into Arbormon.
"Will you give up know?" BurningGreymon said. Arbormon started to talk when he was interrupted.
"Duskmon?" Arbormon asked at the entering digimon. "Who's that?" I asked. "Here comes the cavalry, a friend in need is a friend indeed right?" Arbormon asked.
"Wrong, now that you've lost you're beast spirit you're useless." Duskmon said slicing Arbormon with his knife. Duskmon took Arbormon's code and spirit. Arbormon's digiegg flew off.
I gasped. "He was his ally wasn't he?" I asked confused.
"He destroyed his own friend." BurningGreymon said disbelieving what he saw.
