Oh my god! This writers block is KILLING me! At least I finally managed to finish this.

Anyway, just a recap: Kikumon, Felimon, and Lizamon had all been badly poisoned after the big fight with Latromon and now they HAVE to find Oramon if they want to save their friends and hopefully, find out who stole their memories!

Hey, lets have a little quiz for all you Digitalia fans: See if you can recognize any quotes in this chapter that are from the original show. Or if that's too hard, try to guess what episode this chappie's based off of! Leave your answer as a review if you know!


Chapter 7

"There's the exit!" Alfamon yelled. Gilbamon flew up next to him and saw the pathway that led from Nephila Gorge to the Forest of Wisdom where Oramon was said to live.

"C'mon dudes; just a little further!" Alfamon called to the rest of the group. The nations and the other land Digitalia ran as fast as they could while helping to carry the three poisoned Digitalia. Their breathing was becoming uneven and they seemed even paler. Alfamon and Gilbamon went ahead of the group to find shelter. After a while they came across an enormous hollow tree. It was big enough for at least five people by the looks of it and it was surrounded by bushes that blocked the entrance. The two Digitalia led the nations to the tree and they carefully laid the three poisoned Digitalia down to rest.

Felimon's eyes fluttered open ever so slightly, "R…Romano…" he whispered as Kikumon and Lizamon began to stir as well. Romano ran up and knelt next to him along with China and Austria who ran up to their own Digitalia, "Don't worry Felimon; just try not to fall asleep, we'll find a way to fix you," Romano said as calmly as he could.

France and Mattamon came in with three iceblocks, which Mattamon made, wrapped in three handkerchiefs. They placed them on each of the Digitalia's heads while the others waited outside.

"So, vhere can ve find zis Oramon you told us about?" Germany asked.

"Up on zat mountain," Gilbamon answered, pointing to a somewhat tall mountain in the middle of the forest. It looked like it was only a few miles away from where they were so it probably wouldn't take long to get there.

Britain and Alfamon walked next to Germany and Gilbamon to look at the mountain, "Are there anymore Digitalia around here?" Britain asked.

"None of us sense any so far; but I think a few of us should stay here and keep an eye out." Alfamon said.

Germany nodded, "Alright; Gilbamon and I vill look for Oramon, you stay vith ze ozers." he said.

Britain and Alfamon nodded, "Alright, but if you need any help, we'll come running," Britain said and they walked back towards the tree while Germany and Gilbamon walked towards the mountain. It wasn't long before Germany and Gilbamon were trekking up the steep path towards the top of the mountain.

"It's said that Oramon lives in a cave somewhere on zis mountain," Gilbamon said. "But I'm not exactly sure where…" he added sheepishly.

Germany rolled his eyes, "You really ought to plan zese zings out before you take action." He said.

Gilbamon folded his arms behind his head and sighed, "Yeah, but not knowing vat to expect is vat makes adventures more awesome like me!" he said with a smirk. The two continued to climb until they eventually had to sit down and rest.

"Zis mountain's a lot bigger than it looks; I can feel my awesomness draining out of me," Gilbamon said panting.

Germany wiped his brow with his sleeve, "Vell, ve can't stop here; if ve don't hurry zen Felimon und ze ozers…" he trailed off. Gilbamon nodded grimly before they got up once again and continued to climb.

After another hour had passed with no cave in sight, Gilbamon stopped dead in his tracks. Germany stopped and watched as Gilbamon glanced around sharply, "Vat is it?" Germany asked.

"A Digitalia; and its coming zis way," Gilbamon answered. The two Germans pressed themselves against the cliff wall and watched as a griffin about the same size as Freemon flew by. Its feathered wings and head were dark brown causing the golden lion and fur on its back to stand out a lot.

Gilbamon's red eyes watched it carefully as he scanned it with his stat screen marble, "Zat's Vulgarimon*; he's vun of ze most territorial Digitalia around. I had no idea he lived here." he said.

They held their breath and stood completely still until the griffin was out of sight, "Is he gone?" Germany whispered.

"I don't know," Gilbamon answered as he spread his yellow wings, "I'll go check it out; you vait here." he said as he began to fly away.

"Vat?! Zere's no vay I'm staying here!" Germany said angrily.

Gilbamon turned around in the air, "Vulgarimon vill send you flying if he sees you! Just be smart about zis und stay here until I come back!" Gilbamon said and flew off before Germany could retaliate.


Meanwhile, back at the tree, things weren't much better. Kikumon, Lizamon, and Felimon's breaths were becoming shorter and quicker. They had replaced the ice in the home-made ice packs but it hardly made any change.

China stroked Kikumon's rabbit ears that were drooping and quivering slightly, "I wish Germany and Gilbamon would hurry," he said; everyone wished the same thing.

They were running out of time…


A few minutes passed and no word came from Gilbamon. Germany was just about to take a look around for him when a loud boom shook the mountain. "Vat vas zat?" Germany wondered frantically and another boom was heard. Germany ran up the trail more until he came to a small clearing that led to a narrow path against the cliff wall. Germany's eyes widened in horror as he spotted Gilbamon, pressed against the cliff as Vulgarimon held him in place with a huge claw.

Germany was about to spring in to action to help when Gilbamon slowly raised his two hands, "Flash Fire!" he said weakly but loudly as the stream of flames came from his hands and hit the griffin right in the head. Gilbamon slumped to the ground as Vulagrimon released him.

The griffin screeched in pain and shock as Germany ran up to Gilbamon. He grasped his shoulders from his spot behind him and gently pushed him into a sitting position, "Are you alright?" Germany asked.

Gilbamon opened one eye and looked back at him, "V-vat are you doing here? I told you to stay put!" he said sharply despite his weak voice.

Germany rolled his eyes, "Ve don't have time to argue, zat zing is coming back!" he said. The nation was unfortunately right as Vulgarimon eyed the two Germans angrily. It opened its beak and let loose a stream of blue flames; like Gilbamon's Flash Fire only more powerful and…well…blue. Gilbamon sprung into action and grabbed onto Germany. He managed to fly to avoid getting hit, but the impact from the powerful flames caused the two of them to fly forwards.

The two landed dangerously close to the edge of the cliff in the small clearing but they were better off then where they were before. A huge portion of the cliff path had been demolished; there was no way to get across the huge gap that had appeared. Vulgarimon landed on the little ground they had on the trail and stomped towards them. Gilbamon struggled to his feet and got in front of Germany who was trying to stand up.

Vulgarimon lashed out with one of its claws, narrowly missing its target as Gilbamon took flight. The Digitalia winced; his wings hadn't escaped completely unscathed from that previous attack. Gilbamon's wings turned red as he shot the red hot flames from his palms again. However, Vulgarimon was too quick and immediately countered with his blue flames.

Blue easily overcame red as the attack hit Gilbamon with full force. The Digitalia fell to the ground and Germany crawled up to him, still shaken from the previous fall. He carefully cradled Gilbamon's torso as Gilbamon's eyes cracked open. The two Germans stared at the griffin in frustration as Vulgarimon screeched and lifted its claw to strike again, its claws gleaming in the sun.

But in that split second, another screech rang out through the air. The next thing they knew, Vulgarimon was slammed on its side by a large and familiar giant eagle.

"Freemon?" Gilbamon asked.

The eagle gave a slight nod as another voice called to them, "Are you two alright?"

Germany looked up and spotted Britain who was sitting on Freemon's back. The eagle lowered his head to allow Britain to slide off and run towards them. "Ve're fine; vat are you two doing here?" Germany asked as Gilbamon managed to sit up properly.

"We heard the explosions so Alfamon and I started to climb up after you; Alfamon was able to Hetavolve into Freemon when we heard another so we could fly up here." He explained as he knelt in front of them.

"Vell, ve better move now! Oramon should be around here and ve need-"

Gilbamon was cut off as Vulgarimon pounced on an unsuspecting Freemon. The two large Digitalia tumbled into the air, "A surprise attack? Not cool dude!" Britain heard Freemon say,

"Are you alright Freemon?" Britain asked in his mind,

"I'm stylin' dude! Just keep yourself and the others out of danger!" Freemon answered as he and Vulgarimon flew around in the sky attempting to claw the other.

Britain scanned the clearing until he spotted a small cavern, "Quick, let's get in there; it'll be safer!" Britain said pointing.

Germany and Gilbamon nodded and they ran to the cave. They were just about to enter, but Vulgarimon spotted them. The griffin gave Freemon a vicious head-butt and shot its blue flames on the top of the cave entrance. There was a loud boom as boulders came crashing towards them, "Look out!" Gilbamon yelled and shoved Britain and Germany out of the way as the rocks crashed down.

The two nations whirled around in horror as the smoke cleared to reveal Gilbamon face-down on the ground. He was still conscious, but his leg and wing were stuck under the rock pile that now blocked the cavern. Germany ran up to help the Digitalia get free with Britain about to follow, but the nation skidded to a halt as he watched Vulgarimon slam Freemon into the ground with its claws piercing the eagles back and neck leaving four blood marks on each spot.

"Freemon!" Britain cried and ran towards the eagle as Vulgarimon took flight again. Britain knelt by his large head as the eagle managed to get up. Germany, who had been attempting to free Gilbamon turned as Vulgarimon hovered above Freemon and Britain and fired the blue flames at them, "Britain, look out, above you!" Germany yelled.

Britain looked up with wide eyes as the large stream came towards him. He closed his eyes and covered his head, waiting for the flames to strike, but Freemon was ready. He stepped towards the cowering nation and spread his wings before surrounding Britain with them like a tent causing the flames to hit his back instead. Britain opened his eyes in confusion when nothing happened and his eyes widened at the large shield that the Digitalia had made with his entire being. "Freemon!" Britain exclaimed in horror as the eagle shut his eyes in pain as the blue flames scalded his back.

When the attack finally ended, Freemon removed his wings and fell to the ground. Britain ran to him and touched the eagles' head; Freemon wasn't defeated, but his strength was reaching its limit, "Freemon get up!" Britain urged as he attempted to shake the eagle awake, "Don't you dare De-Hetavolve on me! Get up you git!"

Germany clenched his fists as his uselessness, when he spotted a thin pointed rock that almost resembled a dagger. A plan formed in his mind as remembered what Austria did to Latromon and as he watched Vulgarimon eye the fallen eagle carefully. Germany picked it up and ran to where the griffin was hovering. At the sight of a new intruder, Vulgarimon dove towards the nation,

"Germany! Vat are you doing?!" Gilbamon yelled. Germany watched the griffin carefully and moved out of the way just in time to avoid injury, and also allowing him to latch onto Vulgarimon's tail. Germany clenched the rock between his teeth as he climbed the tail until he was on the Digitalia's back.

He crawled until he reached Vulgarimon's neck before plunging the sharp rock between the griffin's shoulder blades. Blood gushed from the wound and Germany held onto Vulgarimon's feathers as the griffin screeched in agony and tried to jerk the nation off, "Germany! Get off of there! Don't try to be a hero!" Gilbamon yelled.

"I'm not going to let zis zing stop me! I'll tear it apart vith my bare hands if I have to!" Germany yelled back. Gilbamon gritted his teeth and tried again to get free, but it was no use.

The Digitalia watched as Vulgarimon gave one last jump, throwing Germany into the air, "West, no!" Gilbamon cried. Germany yelled in alarm as he plummeted towards the forest hundreds of feet below; Gilbamon squeezed his eyes shut, "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEST!" he yelled.

Germany's Hetavice immediately began to glow as Gilbamon was surrounded in the tell-tale bright light. The rocks that trapped him were easily thrown away as Gilbamon began to grow,

"Gilbamon…Hetavolve to…Awebirdmon*!

Germany stopped falling abruptly as he landed on the back of another Digitalia. He was on the back of a large phoenix with bright red feathers and was the same size as Freemon and Vulgarimon.

The phoenix turned its head to Germany, revealing its piercing red eyes, "Hang on tight Germany! It's time for Awebirdmon to show zis bastard how awesome he really is!" Gilbamon's voice said.

Germany nodded and grasped Awebirdmon's feathers, "Let's go!" and the phoenix flew towards Vulgarimon. The griffin had managed to come to its senses even though the rock was still lodged in his back, but he was even madder than ever. He flew back towards Freemon, who was just waking up, and got ready for another strike, but was tackled by Awebirdmon.

"Can you two still fight?" Germany asked.

"I think so; can you fly Freemon?" Britain asked the eagle. Freemon nodded and allowed Britain to climb onto his back. Germany and Britain nodded to each other and the two birds took flight.

Vulgarimon let out an angry screech before flying after the two Digitalia. Freemon sharply turned around and body slammed Vulgarimon (surprisingly without Britain falling off) and Awebirdmon flew above the griffins' back and sunk his talons into the wounded area of Vulgarimon's back. The two birds then pecked and clawed at the griffin in a frenzy easily overpowering it due to their combined strength. Not to mention the fact that Vulgarimon was getting weaker due to blood loss. Finally, they had the monster right where they wanted.

Freemon flew below the panting griffin before flying towards it from beneath him as Britain held on tightly, "Liberty Strike!" Freemon yelled as the red and white energy surrounded him as he slammed into Vulgarimon.

The griffin was thrown higher into the air where Awebirdmon was waiting for him. The phoenix flew towards Vulgarimon at top speed as sparks began to fly from his wings, "Flaming Wing Attack!" Awebirdmon yelled as his wings lit up with flames. He then folded them, allowing the rest of his feathers to catch on fire until he was surrounded by flames (except where Germany was sitting).

Awebirdmon slammed Vulgarimon into the ground, the griffins brown feathers beginning to burn. Vulgarimon lay on the ground unmoving as small patches of flames ate away at his feathers and fur before the Digitalia finally vanished from view.

Freemon and Awebirdmon landed on the ground before they negan to glow and revert back to their previous forms. First Freemon became a sleeping Alfamon and Britain carefully caught him and cradled him on the ground. Awebirdmon then reverted to an exhausted Gilbamon who would've collapsed had Germany not caught and carefully lead him to the ground.

The two Digitalia opened their eyes and smirked before weakly fist-bumping each other, "Now zat…vas awesome," Gilbamon said.

"Totally!" Alfamon responded causing Britain and Germany to smile.

"Are you two alright?" Britain asked as they helped them to their feet,

"That was a rough fight, but I'm okay," Alfamon said,

"Same here," Gilbamon said.

Germany didn't know what to say to Gilbamon; the Digitalia who he had only known for two day had saved him and defended him from Vulagarimon, putting his life on the line in the process. He had never really thanked anyone before. He put a hand on Gilbamon's shoulder and smiled, "You fought vell," he said.

Gilbamon smirked, "Vat else do you expect from the awesome Gilbamon?" he asked.

"A very nice performance, indeed," a voice said. The four whirled around to see a tall figure standing before them at the ruined cave entrance. He was about as tall as Russia and wore a black hooded robe. His hands were dark green and scaly with only three fingers and small claws on the end like a lizard and his entire head was hidden by the hood; only a pair of glowing blue eyes were visible.

"Oramon!" Alfamon exclaimed. The hooded Digitalia nodded while the other three stared in disbelief, "That's Oramon?" Britain asked.

"I must thank you for defeating Vulgarimon," Oramon said, his voice was deep and firm like an old wizard, "Vulgarimon has been terrorizing this mountain for many a night now; many of the Digitalia here fled. Hopefully now they will return." Oramon took a few stpes closer to them, "Though I am curious as to why two humans and two Digitalia are scaling a dangerous mountain like this." He added.

Britain stepped forward, "Oramon, we came here because we need your help," he said.

"Three of our companions have been poisoned by Latromon and ve need ze cure," Germany explained.

Oramon folded his hands or…claws…or whatever and nodded, "Yes, that is troubling; I forsaw the coming of three injured Digitalia a few days before."

"So can you help us?" Alfamon asked.

Oramon nodded, "Yes, I believe it is my duty to help you after what you did to defeat Vulgarimon; and I just so happen to have plenty of the Antidote to heal three Digitalia," he said pulling a vial full of green liquid out of his robe pocket. The four smiled as their hearts lifted with relief as Oramon stepped closer to them, "Now, we must make haste if we are to heal your friends in time." He said.

He then clasped his palms together and pulled them apart to reveal a small blue orb of energy. Oramon's eyes lit up blue as energy from the small orb surrounded all of them. The next thing they knew, they were back at the base of the mountain. They had teleported!

Germany turned to the two Digitalia, "Gilbamon, Alfamon, go tell ze ozers zat ve have found Oramon." He ordered.

The two Digitalia nodded and took flight while Germany and Britain led Oramon to the tree where the others were waiting. When they got there, they led Oramon into the tree and he hovered over the three poisoned Digitalia. Oramon removed the ice packs and felt their individual forheads. He then pulled out the vial and opened it. One drop was placed in each Digitalia's mouth before he placed the vial safely inside his robe again.

The effect was almost instantaneous; the shivering stopped and the animal features slowly but surely sprung back to life. The three Digitalia opened their eyes and sat up feeling better than ever only to be squeezed by their partners.

"Don't scare me like that again, damn bastard," Romano mumbled as Felimon happily hugged him back.

Once Kikumon had been released from China, he bowed his head to Oramon, "Arigato Oramon," he said.

"Si, grazie for helping us!" Felimon said happily.

Oramon nodded, "It was my pleasure; but if you want to thank anyone, thank these four for braving the mountain to seek my cure," he said gesturing to Britain, Germany, Alfamon and Gilbamon causing the four to blush slightly and look away,

"Thank you very much you guys!" Lizamon said.

"It was nothing…" Gilbamon said rubbing the back of his head when Alfamon jumped in, "No prob dudes! Nothing that the hero can't handle!" he said laughing loudly.

After that bit of awkwardness, everyone gathered outside, "I was told by the heavens that fourteen travelers would enter this forest seeking my wisdom, so I shall tell what I can," Oramon said before facing the nations, "The seven of you are from the human world and are personifications of certain nations that have lived for thousands of years. However, you were taken to this place with many precious memories stolen from you, is that right?"

The nations nodded, and Russia spoke up, "At one point, the Digitalia told us about someone who could take memories away; do you know who he is?" he asked calmly, ignoring the frightened looks of the seven Digitalia.

Oramon nodded, "I can tell you his name but do not worry; he will not appear when you say his name." he said, reassuring the Digitalia.

"But how is that possible? That wasn't the case before." Natamon pointed out.

"It is true that he appeared in the past many times due to his name being spoken, but he is not a threat now," Oramon said and pointed to the starry sky. It had been such a hectic day, that no one had noticed how late it was. The sky was full of stars and was lit by a full moon, "The moon is full tonight; until the month ends and the moon changes form he will be in hibernation. I managed to place that curse on him the last time we met so he shouldn't hear our conversation." He explained.

"So who is this Digitalia?" Britain asked.

Oramon's eyes glowed ominously, "His name is…Azelmon," he answered causing the seven Digitalia to shudder. One look at the fear etched in their faces told the nations that this Digitalia wasn't to be messed with.


DUN DUN DUUUUUUN! We now know the name of this feared Digitalia!

But who is he? What does he want? And why did he take the nation's memories? And if he didn't, then who did?

I just keep piling cliffies on you, but it will aaaaaallll make sense in the next chapter!

EPIC REAPPEARANCE OF FREEMON! WOOOT! We now have TWO huge kick ass bird Digitalia! Yessssssss! X3

*Meanings:

-Vulgarimon: Pretty simple; a huge griffin and its latin name is Gryps Vulgaris (Thanx for the inspiration awesomegirlO/SPRINKYBAGELS). Not much to explain here.

-Awebirdmon: Probably the cheesiest name I have come up with in this whole story X( It's basically a shorter version of awesome bird but it was the only thing that would fit Prussia. Besides, he got to be a kick ass phoenix, I gave him THAT much.

Review are love and love is motivation for new chappies ;) (seriously though, I'm feeling a bit neglected...)
