Hey guys! Lunamon810 here. And with another chapter of Digimon: The Crest of trust! And this took me a while...oh well, I've done worse...right? xD I feel kind of bad, but I kinda just got writers block for it, plus I got busy with some other stuff, and I'm gonna go ahead and say it, in a couple of weeks I have TCAPS (Aka the big test you work towards you take at the end of the year, not final exams, that other thing that's named specifically per state.) and I probably won't write much during that week...so...yeah. xD Anyways, enjoy~
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN DIGIMON IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM! THE ONLY OC'S I OWN ARE AMBER AND SETH!
Both sets of the digidestined were heading up the mountain, the sun hot as ever. About noon both stopped for a rest, to the relief of all of them, whether they vocalized it like Mimi, or they complained about stopping like Tai. Little did they know this peace wouldn't last long.
"E-excuse me? Sir? C-Could you help me?" A man asked, wobbling on a cane. Tai turned to look at him.
"Uh, another human? Here? Or is there some old-man digimon I don't know about?"
"Tai!" Sora scolded quietly, elbowing him.
"What, it does seem unlikely." Tai said crossly. The old man straightened up.
"I suppose you're right. I should have went with a more likely disguise. I suppose I'll keep that in mind next time I have to capture a bunch of humans and their digimon partners."
"Capture!?" Tai said.
"Snake bandage!" He called out as he changed into Mummymon. All of the digidestined and digimon alike were rendered helpless as they were wrapped tightly- almost too tight to be able to breath - in white bandages. They struggled against their bonds. Mummymon laughed as he used a type of gas to knock them all out.
With Amber and her team, they all jumped up and clustered together, met by the gaze of Arukenimon herself. Adriane specifically took a step back, and Ken put his arm around her.
"What is is Adriane, sweety? Are you not happy to see me?" Arukenimon asked tauntingly, and she motioned for Adriane, and to Adriane's horror, Adriane stepped forward, out of Ken's grasp. Against her will she walked over to Arukenimon.
"No! Stay away from me!"
"I'm not the one approaching you dear, you're approaching me. I do not appreciate being accused for something I did not do."
"I'll squash you spider, leave Adriane alone!" Ken demanded. Arukenimon clicked her tongue.
"How rude. I guess I will have to teach you all some manors." Before they knew what was happening they were all wrapped up tight in spider thread, and Arukenimon forced Adriane against her will to help load them into a truck, after knocking them all out with a gas like Mummymon had used. Adriane, still unable to control herself, got into the passenger side seat of the truck as they drove up the hill to where Mummymon was with the others, and she loaded those digidestined on for them too.
"Stop it! Why don't you just knock me out like them!?" Adriane demanded.
"Fine, if that's how you want it. But remember, you asked for it!" Arukenimon said evilly happily as Mummy Snake Bandaged Adriane and they knocked them out with the same gas.
When they woke up they were all tied to chairs, the digimon chained to the wall. Amber was tugging the hardest on her bonds, but they wouldn't budge in the slightest. She looked over at Adriane, who looked absolutely horrified and wouldn't move. Amber looked back at Arukenimon and pulled harder.
"Stop trying, those ropes aren't going to budge," Arukenimon said, smiling with an evil tent. "They have rings of flexible but unbreakable iron in them. You won't be getting free."
"Let us go!" Mimi cried. "These ropes are too tight, I can't breath! And they're giving me rope burn, and they're cutting of my circulation-"
"Shut up you little brat," Arukenimon growled. "We're not letting you go."
"What do you want from us!?" Lana demanded.
"We didn't do anything to you!" Luna added on.
"We don't want you getting free and attacking Lord Myotismon. Simple as that. So until he can probably kill you himself, we will keep you captive. But don't worry, you won't be tied up there the whole time. We have much more in store for you." Amber's eyes widened. She looked around the room, to see Davis thrashing against his bonds.
"Davis! Quit, you're gonna get hurt." She said before looking back at Arukenimon. "What are you going to do with us?"
"Oh, you'll see. Mummymon, get the car." She said before spraying the gas everywhere, knocking them all out no matter how hard they fought, the last thing they heard being Arukenimon's laughter.
When Amber woke up she was in some type of prison cell barely big enough for her, she could touch both walls on either side of her with her hands flat against them, and she could do the same with the back wall and the bars. From the other side of the bars there was a vast arena, and she could see Carter and two parrotmon. Amber put a hand over her mouth. If she was right, Carter was about to fight those digimon with Coronamon. That wasn't good.
Carter's eyes opened, and she looked up at the big green bird-digimon. She stood up and looked at Coronamon, who was coming to as well. Carter looked at them, then Coronamon and nodded. "We can do this Coronamon."
"Right." Coronamon nodded. "Coronamon digivolve to...Firamon!"
The Parrotmon took to the air and started towards Carter from either side, dodging Firamon's Fira Bombs. Carter's heart pounded as she pressed herself against the wall behind her. As they got closer she looked at Firamon, who looked like he was starting to dedigivolve. She shook her head and took a deep breath, straightening up. She had to keep calm, or things would just get worse. As Parrotmon got closer, she brought her arms up in front of her face, bracing herself, and something to her right started to glow a moment later. She looked over at the odd symbol on the wall and pulled her tag off and pressed it to it, and it formed into a crest. She snapped it up quickly and put it in her tag, and it glowed.
"Firamon digivolve to...Flaremon!" Carter smirked and nodded at her digital partner, who lept into the air.
"Guren Juuouha!" Flaremon called out, and a shot of energy blasted from it's hands, forming the shape of a lion's head, knocking the Parrotmon away from Carter. "Kurenai Shishi no Mai!" His fists and feet lit on fire as Flaremon started to punch the barely in flight parrot-based digimon. He knocked them down, then let out a loud howl, causing Carter to cover her ears and walk back against the wall, while sending a blast of energy at the Parrotmon, causing them to disappear into data. Flaremon then dedigivolved into Sunmon. Carter picked Sunmon up and hugged him close, but was then separated from him into separate cells like Amber's.
Next to be released was Ren and Kotemon. They were sent to one side of the arena as two Kuwagamon entered the arena. Ren just held his head up high. "Lets give it everything we've got, Kotemon. As much as I hate fighting...I don't think there's a way out of it this time."
Kotemon nodded. "Kotemon digivolve to...Dinohyumon!" The lizard-like digimon was in the air and slicing the flying Kuwagamon in seconds. "Powerful Guillotine!" Ren watched as his partner got sliced at by the Kuwagamon's sharp pincers. He stood stone still as the fight continued with Dinohyumon using Akinakes, his attack that required Dinohyumon to swing at Kuwagamon with his largest sword, Akinakes. Then suddenly Kuwagamon used Trap Scissors, trapping Dinohyumon in it's pincers. From somewhere they could hear Arukenimon's laughter.
"Beg boy, and I might let your precious digimon go."
Ren looked at Dinohyumon and shook his head. "No. I won't beg, not you. I refuse to beg someone for something they probably won't do, especially the likes of you, who put us here in this situation." Ren said, and turned to walk away, then stopped. "But then again. I'm not going to walk away either." He said bending down and putting his tag to the glowing stone at his foot, then inserting the new crest into his tag.
"Dinohyumon digivolve to...Knightmon!" The newly evolved digimon broke free from the Kuwagamon's grasp and slashed it in half altogether, along with the other Kuwagamon, before dedigivolving down to Kapurimon. The two were dragged away to their own cells, and Ren turned away from the light and though he didn't sob, he began crying lightly with his forehead against the back wall, mourning over the Kuwagamon he'd just killed. He hated killing, no matter how evil the person was.
