The 7th war
Chapter 4: The next threat
7 Vices Headquarters
The war torn landscape is pitch black and charred from the energy of past fights from all kinds of Digimon participating in the war between the Holy Digimon alliance and the 7 Vices army. This landscape, once a beautiful forest, is now home to the base of operations for the 7 Vices and their army of virus Digimon.
In the main meeting room of this veritable fortress of a palace there are 7 Digimon on thrones created for each of of the generals of this mighty force of evil. They sit in a semi-circle and the lights in this room start to shine down on them from left to right.
The first is shown to be Piedmon a clown Digimon standing easily at 7 foot in a bright red clown suit with tight yellow boots, frills at his neck and at the end of his sleeves complete with four swords in an X pattern on his back with the hilts out for easy access. He is known at the Trickster General who is feared for his unconventional but effective plans.
The second one shown is a beautiful woman clad in purple robes with 8 bat wings on her back along with her right hand encased in a golden gauntlet. This Digimon is named Lilithmon also known as the General of beautiful cruelty, she is effective in torture and being exceptionally effective in misdirection attacks.
The third is a Digimon that has the hind legs of a lizard and a chest plate that looks like a falcons face and beak, he has bright red wings of a bat on his back along with a golden mask and green head wrapping on his head. This general is Murmukusmon and he is known as the General of strength with his legions of Megas he has destroyed many forts and defensive lines of the Holy Digimon alliance.
The fourth Digimon is known as Barbamon. An evil shaman looking Digimon who has a skull tipped staff and 6 red bat wings on his back along with a gray beard going from his face down to his knees. This one is known at the General of genius as he is the head general who has many strategies that have won them the first half of the Continent of Folder that they are currently trying to conquer.
The fifth Digimon is known as Chaosdromon who is a giant red coated metal dinosaur with two large ion cannons on his back as he sits on his hind legs. He is the technology General who has helped control and obliterate the defenses created by that annoying Digimon Hi-Andromon on the Holy Digimon Alliances side. However the two Megas continue to have a stalemate every fight they get into.
The sixth one is known as Lotusmon she is a beautiful woman who looks like she is wearing a purple and white gown that ends at her knees, her head has a lotus looking crown on it that includes a purple center, in her right hand is a rainbow flower topped scepter and in her left is a caduceus that has a black and white snake wrapped around it. She is known as the General of corruption as she has turned many good aligned Digimon into their evil versions by using her best corruption attacks from her black snake.
The final Digimon is the one known as ChaosGallantmon who looks like a knight in gray armor with a dark blue cape and accents on his armor. He has a long jousting spear on his right hand and a large circular shield on his left hand. This Digimon is known as the General of Combat as he commands the bulk of the infantry forces and has many troops with high attack power and very durable defenses.
The reason all 7 generals of the 7 Vices Army are here in this room is because they are currently deciding the fate of Impmon who has failed to catch and destroy the Biyomon that stole their armies next movement plans. Murmukusmon looks the most livid at Impmon's failure, not only for failing as a subordinate but also...
"So Little Brother You come back with your tail between your legs and rather scratched up from loosing to another Rookie level enemy. If it was a champion I would overlook your lose but the fact you failed to defeat another Rookie and also failed to capture THE TAMER HELPING THAT ROOKIE! This is an outrage! there are now Tamers here! and they could easily tip the balance of the war as a whole!"
Lotusmon looks at Impmon who is ready to just hide in a hole somewhere and thinks carefully.
"Now now I believe his reason for a loss was justified as he had never fought a Tamer before and now he has, plus lets not forget he is one of the most powerful Rookies we have ever had in our army. Plus he has potential as he is your younger brother Lord Murmukusmon."
Murmukusmon simply closes his eyes while making a tsking sound and goes silent. Barbamon however was stroking his beard and thinking with his strategic mind as the Generals discuss between themselves for new movements and plans with the new information about tamers now being in this war. Then he smirks evilly thinking about how he could get a new General out of this. Hitting his staff on the ground twice to claim attention as he rises out of his chair, the room grows silent to listen to their leaders new plans.
"Impmon you are not to be punished in the traditional way, instead your punishment shall be to undergo harsh training until you become Champion and then you will go fight that Tamer once more to see how fast they grow compared to our own troops growth. DO you accept this punishment and mission?"
Impmon couldn't believe his luck! A way to get stronger and have a chance to destroy that Agumon and Tamer? He couldn't pass this chance up!
"I accept wholeheartedly Lord Barbamon! I will not fail your expectations!"
Barbamon grins and snaps his fingers two Ogremon's, which are green skinned 7 foot tall Digimon who are champion level with bone clubs and spikes on their shoulders, they also have silver hair in a wild mess on their heads and mouths that are 2 feet wide, come into the room and escort Impmon out to the training field to begin the mission at once.
Looking at the doors Piedmon looks to Barbamon with a questioning look, "Are you really using our resources on that sorry excuse for a soldier? Seems like a waste to me milord."
Sitting down once again Barbamon regards Piedmon with a simple grin, "Of course after all he has the potential and now he has the drive to become as powerful as one of us, if he is destroyed then we recover his egg and start from scratch with better methods for training troops now, and this way he is unknowingly contributing to the army as a whole without knowing he is simply a guinea pig for testing new training and growth strategies for our units."
Clapping resounds in the room with some mocking laughter at Impmon's expense.
Meanwhile: Resistor Jungle
Meanwhile Seth and Agumon have been hard at work, training in the Resistor Jungle Sector for the last three days, they had just defeated another Ogremon who tried to ambush them since they had entered this sector of the island. Resistor Jungle looked like a small version of the Amazon Rain forest complete with all kinds of Digimon as he animals you meet. Many of the Rookie and younger level Digimon left them alone, the Data and Vaccine Digimon left them well enough alone as well. However they kept being ambushed by Virus champion level Digimon like that Ogremon.
Agumon sighs and with a grumble from his stomach, "Ugh after that last fight I'm getting hungry Seth, can we stop for some food?"
Seth stops and looks up at the sky peeking through the tops of the trees. Wiping some sweat off his neck and forehead with a towel from his Digivice's storage Seth groans and sighs with soreness and exhaustion.
"Yeah sounds good bud, now we just need a good spot preferably with some water so we can stay hydrated while we rest up. But for now I have something to keep us going."
Seth pulls out a pair of sandwiches along with two water bottles so they can eat something and re-hydrate themselves.
Agumon sighs in relief and begins to sniff around for the wet smell that some jungle plants give off when damp. After 10 minutes of searching the duo hears water in the distance and heads off towards the source.
Coming out from the tree line they see a beautiful pond with a lush grassy bank and sandbar.
Analyzing the location Seth thinks about a possible base camp, Water source, plants with berries, fruits, and nuts as nutrition, a good sandy area to train. Thinking all over this might be the best place to set up camp while we are in the Resistor Jungle sector.
Summoning a tent, camping stove, training log, weights, and a monkey bar set. Seth looks around the sandy section of their new base camp and sets everything up while Agumon takes a small nap in the soft grass and bright sun that comes through the break in the trees over the pond.
They use the stove to start cooking a basic beef stew when they hear screaming and loud breaking sounds that are heading right for them.
Agumon immediately jumps up from his resting position, "Seth!"
Seth puts the stew pot on the side to avoid burning their food and grabs his Digivice, "I hear it coming, get ready Agumon!"
Crashing through the bushes and treeline comes a flying pink feathered bird who Seth and Agumon recognize as the Biyomon from the Digivice's encyclopedia. She is covered in bruises and scuff marks across her feathers. She falls to the ground a few feet in front of the duo shaking from pain and exhaustion.
Feebly she reaches out with her clawed wing and says in a soft voice, "Please... help me... message... palace..."
As Biyomon slumps onto the ground unconscious the loud snapping of branches and sticks comes even closer. Seth and Agumon's heads snap up at the figure who came crashing through the trees and find an Ogremon, but he was also different.
Seth scans him and finds out that he is a Jungle version of Ogremon known as Fugamon, this version of Ogremon has the same mouth and hair of Ogremon however with a dull red skin all over his body and a tiger stripe pattern hip wrap covering his thighs and waist instead of Ogremon's black one. The Fugamon seemed slightly out of breath as he regarded the prey he was chasing and apparently two new victims for him to destroy and take data from.
"Hehe must be my lucky day! The spy I was chasing is tired and can't run more, and now I have two fresh victims to destroy! If this doesn't land me a Digivolution from the 7 Generals then I don't know what will!"
Then he notices that there is a human as one of the new figures in the clearing, and his eyes widen in realization.
"HAHAHAHAH! Now I'll definitely get that Digivolution if I can grab a human Tamer and present it to the sev- AAAAAGH!"
Hands flying to his face in pain from the searing fireball that landed there just seconds ago, he kneels down trying to cool the burning sensation as Seth grabs Biyomon and leans her against the training log he set up earlier.
His vision finally clearing Fugamon looks up to see an angry Agumon with flames dancing around inside his mouth as he prepares another attack at him. With quick reflexes Fugamon grabs his bone club from on his back and uses it to defend himself just as he hears.
"Pepper Breath!"
The burning red fireball flies at him and Fugamon barely blocks it with only some burning damage to himself. He then launches his own attack back at the orange dinosaur Digimon.
"Heavy Swing!"
His bone club swings down right on top of Agumon's head, and his grin widens as he thinks he has just beaten a foolish Rookie who go in the way of his prey. Then he feels his arm and hand vibrate and pain shoot up his right arm. Recoiling he sees that somehow Agumon's scales have become more defined.
Seth wipes the sweat off his brow from the close timing of defending that attack, with the Dragon Scales card only lasting 10 second he can't be careless with its usage. Then Seth grins as he notices the new card he got from when Agumon Digivolved.
He grabs the new card and Power Boost while yelling at Agumon, "Agumon use a melee attack! I have a surprise for our red ugly friend here."
Agumon looks back at Seth after dodging another Heavy Swing from Fugamon and nods. Jumping back to gain some distance to prepare his attack Agumon brings his claw to his side and starts running at Fugamon. Seth immediately activates the new card first, it is called Dragon Claw this card coats the claws of a dragon type digimon in energy to allow their attack to pierce through an opponents defense value, and any damage Agumon would do is now doubled as Seth activates Power Boost on top of the previous card boost.
Fugamon sees the dinosaur running at him smirking at what a Rookie thinks he could to to a proud soldier of the 7 Vices Army. Until he becomes shocked at seeing red energy coat his claws with the first card and then become a brighter red as the second card activates. Becoming afraid he tried to block with his club only to see skid marks starting from where Agumon was leading to behind him. Seth smirks at the way Fugamon wasn't expecting Agumon to be boosted by Speed Boost.
"You-!"
He got no further with his rant as he felt three energy charge claws stab right through his back and out his front then cleaved up through his head practically cutting him in half. His health bar finishes depleting and he shatters into data that goes into Agumon and a bright green Digi-egg is left in his place.
Seth looks at Agumon's stats and his eyebrows shoot up in surprise at how Agumon just leveled up 3 times.
Deciding to look for new attacks later Seth turns around to check on Biyomon's condition.
Scanning her for wounds and checking her pulse Seth doesn't find anything wrong with her except for some bruising and exhaustion from running, or in her case flying from attackers.
Agumon walks over and sets the stew pot back on their fire to finish cooking dinner for themselves and their guest. Seth puts some ointment on Biyomon's wounds to help clear up her bruises and get rid of her fatigue as well.
Seth begins to think about their situation, She mentioned a palace before she went unconscious, cold she be a messenger for that Holy Angel Palace place that was marked on my 3D map? I better help her out with getting there, especially if she can explain why I'm here in the first place.
Agumon calls over to Seth as he keeps an eye on the food, "What are you thinking of partner? You have your contemplating face on right now."
Seth sighs as he rubs a hand down his face in thought, "Well Agumon we have a Digimon who possibly works at our destination, she is being chased due to a message she apparently has for the palace and we still have no idea why we are here besides dealing with the evil Digimon on this island who apparently belong to an entire army that wants to destroy the good Digimon. SO I may have just a few things on my mind at the moment." Seth finishes by throwing his hands up in the air.
Agumon thinks quietly for a moment then looks to Seth with a grin, "So in short we are helping her."
Seth blinks looks down at Biyomon and then looks back to Agumon with a similar smirk, "Yeah that's a given bud, we'll get our answers in return, after all knowledge is our friend right now."
Agumon nods then goes back to making sure their food doesn't burn, while Seth checks for new cards unlocked and attacks to use on enemies.
About 10 minutes later the food is done and Agumon starts serving them each a bowl of their dinner.
With the smell of food wafting through the air Biyomon wakes up and rubs the sleepiness from her eyes. Agumon Sees her move and brings a bowl of the stew to her as Seth sits down next to her and helps her sit up. Biyomon looks a Seth with surprise and then looks to the food Agumon is holding out for her. Both Tamer and his Digimon nod and Biyomon quickly grabs it and practically inhales the food. Once everyone is finished eating along with Biyomon's second bowl.
Biyomon kneels down and bows in thanks to both of her protector's, "Thank you both so much for saving me, if I had failed my mission to lord Seraphimon then I don't know how we would be able to recover our edge over the evil Digimon army."
Seth and Agumon look to each other in concern and confusion then back at Biyomon.
Seth begins with clearing his throat and saying, "First we did what we did because we know it was the right thing to do, Second we are happy to help you out with your situation, and Third can you explain in better detail what I'm doing here and what is this business about an evil army and a good army that we are apparently in the crossfire of?"
Biyomon sweat dropped at Agumon's nodding in confirmation to the lack of knowledge about the entire digital worlds plight of this war on it and it's original areas for every Digimon living here.
Sighing she begins to explain everything in great detail to the two partners.
Meanwhile their Angemon guardian was still nearby as he scratched his head in embarrassment at not remembering that they ended up away from the palace and as such never got the information about why they were here or for what reason were they being attacked by evil Digimon left and right.
Better not mention this in my report to Lord Seraphimon, I'll get chewed out by Sorcerymon big time. Sighing Angemon reports in to Seraphimon, "My lord, Biyomon is safe and sound. The Tamer Seth and his partner Agumon saved her from a Fugamon before I could intervene, she is giving them more information about the war as we speak."
Silence was all that could be heard on the line as Angemon began to worry about whether or not Seraphimon heard him when he started sweating at the voice he hears answer him.
"Let me guess," the very angered voice of Sorcerymon could be heard on the line, "She is telling them about he situation of the Digital World because you forgot to tell them RIGHT?"
Angemon began sweating bullets at this point, when he heard Seraphimon take over the line.
"We can let that little problem slide for now, just keep an eye on them and give them any more information that Biyomon might forget to tell them. Don't worry about the palace for now we are handling things here. Seraphimon out."
Angemon puts away his communicator and settles down to catch up on where Biyomon is in her explanation of the Digital World.
