"THIS IS RIDICULUS!" Zoey Orimoto yelled. Two days into their journey, the Legendary Warriors had been chased by something that had almost killed the warriors with one swipe. The five had been forced to run deeper and deeper through their location, the Digital Moon. Unfortunately, the group was almost to their starting point.

"Why can't we use our spirits?" She said, panting.

"I do not know but if need be, I will protect you all long enough." Koichi said, the only one not out of breath.

"Bull, we don't need to rely on only one of us. Oh, if only Takuya were here."

"Takuya Kanbara has a different destiny. Only unmarked humans with the power of spirits can follow your path, Zoe Orimoto."

"Who's there?"

"Do you not recognize me?" A large angel floated down, resting easily by Zoe. "I am Ophanimon, lady angel of the moon. My brothers of sun and star are also familiar, one of you has met one of them." (A.N. I decided to switch things around. Hopefully I will get around to fixing things. As it now stands, Seraphimon was freed first instead of Ebowamon and Cherubimon instead of Azulongmon. I'll explain this more later.)

"Yes, Seraphimon gave me my power." Koichi spoke up.

"Yes, we are known for our gifts it seems."

"No, I just needed to find out about Bruce and how to stop him."

"Bruce is but a mere shadow. The first, Randalf was a powerful opponent. Bruce was even more so. However, this place houses the fifth shadow, the one that controls the light of the mind. You can sense its power, making it easy to attack. At present, only two people can fight it and win. Only one of these is even human."

"Who?"

"Takuya Kanbara and Harry Potter. Only they know how to control the mind. Even they stand no chance, their powers undeveloped."

"But if we can't do anything about this shadow, is there something we can do about Kaskana?" Tommy asked the thirteen year old staring at his hands.

"If you knew about the shadow, yes. As is, you would be a fool to try."

"But how can we let the shadow spread?"

"I think you know, all of you."

With that, all five warriors crumpled to the ground, each feeling like they didn't belong here. Ophanimon stared, disgusted that she revealed herself to weaklings. She started to turn but froze, noticing Tommy rising, his knees threatening to give way.

"I don't know what trick you are trying to pull but I am a digidestined and a Legendary Warrior. I cannot let you or anyone else play with my mind, forcing me to turn back." The boy said. Once, he would have been a crying ten year old. Then he got his spirit and relied on it to keep him strong. Now, a boy confident in himself stood, glaring at the she-angel. Without a word, Ophanimon smiled at him. Then, quickly she turned and backhanded the boy, Tommy being forced into space.

As though it had been a dream, Tommy woke up, the snow around him colder than anything he had felt.

A.N. Ok, I did some research. Now, there are eight Sovereign and seven shadows. However, there is actually an eighth shadow who we have already met in book one. He currently has no story. Now, Bruce and Randalf were moved to parallel Cherubimon and Seraphimon because I decided to group them based on elements. Zhuqiaomon is the fire guardian, Ebowamon the water, Baihumon the steel/earth, Azulongmon the sky/lightning, Cherubimon the stars, Seraphimon the sun, Ophanimon the moon, and Fanglongmon the light/darkness. Fanglongmon will be the center or core. In a sense, he will be like Lucemon in Frontier. Now four of these play parts in mythology. I know this is really a short chapter but this was one of these where I tried to avoid writing it until I figured things out but I kept typing and thinking the beginning sentence. I have three groups left to cover: 02, DATS, and the Valkyrie. I also need to figure out what to do with Tommy, Tai, and Henry.
