Hehe guess which Digimon will make an appearance as antagonist in this chapter.
Disclaimer: Je ne possède pas Digimon.
After they had defeated Ghoulmon and a group of Megadramon the Digidestined flew back to Server, most of them already sleeping. Only Tai and Izzy were still awake and talked about their next destination. "So Izzy what do you know about the places the coordinates would lead us to?"
"They're all on Server at least more or less: One is in the west in the middle of a deep jungle, one is in the south a place called the Shivering Islands, basically a bunch of volcanic islands and one is in the north in a city called Port, according to the few information's I found it's one of the oldest cities in the Digiworld."
"What do you think where could we go to avoid fights?"
"I guess the jungle would be the best place to get the next aspect and to avoid fights."
"Alright, Wingdramon the jungle will be our next destination."
"As you wish." Spoke Wingdramon.
"Tai why is it so important for you to avoid fights it doesn't fit your nature?" Izzy asked the leader of the Digidestined with a very light smile.
"Because everything has changed, the evil Digimon are trying to kill us and this time they're much more determined than before. Look at today Sora, Biyomon, Koromon and me nearly got killed. That was much to close. I'm afraid someone is going to die this time, that's the reason I try to avoid fights or at least I try to be prepared."
Izzy looked towards Mimi and then back to Tai. "Even I'm not in your position, I can understand you, and I couldn't forgive myself, if something would happen to Mimi."
Tai smiled weakly and nodded. "I know what you mean and thank you for gathering information's, but it's late and I think we should call it a day and try to get some sleep."
Izzy agreed and they both stepped to their girlfriends to sleep besides them. None of the Digidestined and neither Wingdramon had recognized that LadyDevimon was following them. She had heard everything that was important, she flew away to give report to Master Piedmon. At the dawn of the next morning it was like she had never been there.
At the morning when the Digidestined woke up, they already where able to see the Server desert with the ruins of the pyramid, that once was Datamon's prison for Sora. Tai gently squeezed her hand, when they flew directly over the pyramid, trying to banish the bad memories from her mind. Soon they saw several places they had visited during their hunt for Myotismon and then the jungle appeared, but Wingdramon had bad news for them. "I won't be able to land in the jungle. I have to land at the edge of the woods and you'll have to walk through the jungle. I will fly over the jungle in circles and catch you up as soon as you walk out of the jungle."
Tai and the others agreed to the plan and Wingdramon landed near the edge of the woods and the Digidestined entered the jungle.
It took them a lot of time to walk through the jungle, the undergrowth was very thick and there weren't any natural paths. There was no sign of live in the jungle, the gigantic trees (most of them where as double as high as the famous Yosemite Redwoods Trees) made no sound. Matt walked up to Tai. "Can you hear it?" He asked him. Tai wondered since they had entered the jungle he hadn't heard anything except the sound they were creating by themselves.
"No, I can't hear anything, it is absolute silent." Immediately after we had spoken the words he understood was Matt was trying to say. "You're right Matt, it is too silent, we should watch out."
After a few more hours of walking, some Digidestined already complained about not having a break, they saw the first sign of life, they saw gigantic insect nests at the trees, some of them were as big as MegaKabuterimon. Some of the nests looked like they were much older than the others; especially the biggest nests among them looked very old. "Are they made by Digimon?" Mimi asked.
"I think so." Answered her Izzy.
"Of course they are that are the usual nests that Insect-Digimon build to have a place for living." Explained them Tentomon.
"What kind of Digimon live here or had lived here?" Asked Izzy his partner.
"I guess Flymon, Snimon, Kuwagamon and maybe once other Kabuterimon."
"But where are they now?"
"I don't know Izzy, maybe we'll find out."
Eventually Tai decided to set up a camp, because everybody was very tiered and complained about their hurting feet. Their dinner was very poor, they hadn't found a clearing or a river, so they didn't made a campfire and just ate a few of the supplies Gennai had given them. Soon as they were about to go to bed a small Digimon came out of the undergrowth. It looked very similar to Wormmon, but its body was yellow instead of green and lightning patter all over his body. The Digidestined looked surprised at the new Digimon in the middle of them. "Who are you?" Asked Tai very suspicious.
"I'm Kunemon and you're the Digidestined aren't you?" Kunemon didn't wait for an answer and continued talking. "Please help me and my people?"
"Who are your people and what kind of help do you need?" Asked Tai still suspicious.
"We are a swarm of different Insect-Digimon we've lived here in peace since this jungle exists, but we live in constant fear of a mighty evil Digimon in the ruins. A few days ago another evil Digimon came, Puppetmon, and with him hundreds of Woodmon and some Blossomon. They are attacking our village and somehow the evil Digimon from the ruins is only attacking us." Matt took Tai's arm and moved him a bit away from the group Mimi silently followed them.
"Tai we should help them sooner or later we'll have to face Puppetmon and this ruins really sound like a place we should visit to get the next aspect."
"I don't know, it could be a trap, I don't know if we can trust them."
"I'm sure it isn't a trap they really need our help." Mimi said and gave Tai a determined look. Tai walked back to the middle of the group. "We'll help you Kunemon, but only if you'll show us the ruins." Tai spoke to the little Digimon.
"I'll show you, but now follow me to my village."
The village wasn't a typical village instead it was a huge crowed of insect-nests that were connected to the trees. A few Flymon appeared. "They'll carry you into the nest; you can be our guests as long as you wish."
The Digidestined agreed and the Flymon carried the Digidestined and their partners into the nest. Kunemon showed them a separate room where they could sleep. Of course the room was a lot more comfortable tan the camp on the ground, finally the Digidestined where able to sleep but the night was a short one.
The next day Kunemon woke them up very early. "Our leader Jewelbeemon wants to see you." He explained to the Digidestined.
He led them to the center of the nest; surprisingly they didn't saw any other Digimon on their way. They entered a small room with a small throne in it, a Digimon that looked a lot like Stingmon, but with golden jewels on his green armor, sat on the throne.
"Your visit honors me Digidestined." Jewelbeemon spoke kind.
"We thank you for your hospitality, but why do you want to see us so early?" Asked Tai.
"Because now that you are here we should be strong enough to reconquer the ruins which include the chamber of the white tiger."
"You know about the chamber?" Asked Izzy surprised.
"Yes this swarm has the duty to protect those ruins with the chamber, but we couldn't continue because the evil GranKuwagamon woke up and was manipulated by Puppetmon to attack us and Puppetmon's army is also something we can't handle alone."
"We'll help you." Said Tai determined.
"Fine we attack immediately, so that we'll have the advance of surprise."
Jewelbeemon guided them to something like a hangar which was big enough for Tentomon to digivolve into MegaKabuterion, Stingmon and Ex-Veemon into Imperialdramon and Biyomon into Garudamon. They Digidestined climbed on the three Digimon and took off escorted by a bunch of Snimon and Flymon.
The three big flying Digimon couldn't really fly in the jungle instead it was more like hopping from tree to tree. They still reached the ruins very quickly and saw the mass of Woodmon. Jewelbeemon appeared besides them standing on the nape of a Kuwagamon, it gave the sign to attack. WarGreymon, Metalgarurumon, Shakkoumon and Silphymon instantly start to attack the Blossomon, Imperialdramon, MegaKabuterimon and Garudamon dropped the Digidestined near the ruins and then also joined the fight, Garudamon De-digivolved into Biyomon to Warp-digivolve into Phoenixmon.
Lillymon and Zudomon tried to cover the Digidestined while they tried to sneak into the ruins to find the chamber they already could see the entrance to main building of the city, as suddenly a gigantic black Insect-Digimon appeared in front of them with Puppetmon on his head.
"What a surprise, have you missed me? Let me introduce you to my new friend GranKuwagamon." The Dark master said with his childish voice. GranKuwagamon immediately tried to attack the Digidestined at once, but luckily MegaKabuterimon had seen the appearance of GranKuwagamon and attacked it, so MegaKabuterimon was barely able to block GranKuwagamon and make it fly across the battlefield. Also Zudomon was able to land a luck strike with his hammer on Puppetmon making him flay back into the woods. The Digidestined used their opportunity and entered them ruins which looked surprisingly similar to those on the File Island. Tai pointed at Mimi, T.K., Kari and Lillymon. "Search the chamber, fast we stay here!" Tai commanded.
They run deeper into the ruins while Izzy discovered some interesting writings on the entrance. This time the battle looked a lot easier than on the File Island. The Woodmon and Blossomon had no chance against the combined forces of the Digidestined and the Insect-Digimon and it already looked like Puppetmon and his army was about to retreat, but then GranKuwagamon came back smashing MegaKabuterimon to the ground. Puppetmon followed GranKuwagamon with his "Puppet Pummel" attack on MegaKabuterimon it De-digivolved into Tentomon, the eyes of the Digidestined widened in shock as they saw one of their friends in danger, but what shocked them even more was that Izzy didn't care about it, he just continued to read the strange writings on the wall. WarGreymon punished Puppetmon and hit him with its "Terra Force", which made Puppetmon fly into the jungle the second time this day, but this time Puppetmon was seriously damaged. But the Digimon had no chance against GranKuwagamon because of its size and physical strength that even overcome the strength of Imperialdramon.
Tai yelled at Izzy that his partner was in danger but he didn't stop reading, also he didn't stop when the others started to yell at him. Suddenly Izzy pointed his finger on a few signs on the wall and gasped; he pulled out his Digivice and ran out of the ruins.
"Tentomon hold on I know how to end this!" He yelled at his partner and pointed on Tentomon with his Digivice. Izzy's crest started to glow in bright purple and also his Digivice, a purple flash out of Izzy's Digivice hit Tentomon.
Tentomon Warp-digivolve to HerculesKabuterimon
The red little bug digivolved into a huge golden bug with four arms, giant wings, two massive scissors and a massive horn. It was nearly as huge as Azulongmon.
"Mega Electro Shocker!" It was the hell on earth; the light wave explosion destroyed all Woodmon and Blossomon in its way and hit GranKuwagamon hard. But HerculesKabuterimon gave its opponent no time to rest it jumped to him and used his four arms to lift GranKuwagamon in the air. GranKuwagamon was honestly surprised by the strength of HerculesKabuterimon. "Giga Scissor Claws" It growled and started to squeeze GranKuwagamon with his giant scissors, GranKuwagamon had no chance against the Insect-Emperor; it got cracks all over hits body and finally broke dissolving into Data. The battle was over and won.
What happened to the Digidestined in the ruins? What happened to Puppetmon? What had Izzy read in the ruins? Why did Tentomon digivolve? All these questions will be answered in the next chapter, next Friday.
As always pls R&R and see you soon.
