The 7th war
Chapter 6: Teamwork
Resistor Jungle
Seth sighed as he and his two Digimon friends were walking through Resistor Jungle.
If I had known that we would be picking up another friend I would have made sure to pick a safer route, but at the same time we need to get that info to Seraphimon or else his remaining forces won't last much longer where they are in the front line.
Checking his Digivice's map function he saw they were almost out of the current sector and heading towards Bit Forest again.
Behind him Biyomon and Agumon were having an interesting discussion.
"So he is able to boost you with cards loaded in his Digivice? I didn't think you guys would be able to understand that function so quickly." Biyomon asked with a thinking manner as her wing came to rest under her chin.
Agumon nodded with a happy smile on his face, "Yep! Seth is amazing! He can make a plan and he seems to not even need to check the scan of the Digimon we fight in order to give me the commands needed to win a fight! I trust him so much as my partner!"
Biyomon silently contemplates the information as she thinks about how two different beings can trust each other so well.
Seth stops suddenly and Agumon gets into a crouched battle stance with his claws up in a typical guard stance. Biyomon stops and strains her hearing to see what could have made the partners stop all of the sudden like this.
Seth suddenly dives to the side tackling Biyomon out of the way as a 5 foot long bone hits the ground the group was on, Agumon was able to side step it and looks towards Seth as he and Biyomon are getting up from where they landed. Giving Agumon a thumbs up to signal he and Biyomon were fine the partners look up to where the bone staff came from.
They see 15ft up in a tree a 6.5 foot tall Ape man with fur and Native American designs on his fur with a green scaled armband on his right arm and a red strap going across his chest. This is the Champion level Digimon Apemon however where the normal Apemon has yellow fur with red accents all over his body and blue eyes, this one had dark blue fur and silver accents all over his body and glowing red eyes.
Seth gulps and looks at Biyomon, "I'm guessing he was a soldier who got corrupted? Cause normally Apemon is a Champion who is a Vaccine type Digimon. But that looks like Virus type colors."
Biyomon nods while looking shocked and scared, "Apemon was one of the armies forward scouts for the war but we lost contact with him and his squad once we tried to make a push to recapture a base a few weeks back, now I'm scared for the rest of his squad."
Apemon suddenly grins and jumps down as he has his fingers open and ready to grab Biyomon and his Bone club with how long his arms are. Seth tries to get in the way before a fireball hits Apemon right in the face.
"Pepper Breath! You're not hurting our friend or my partner you jerk! I'm your opponent!" Yells out Agumon as his attack hit home with a fierce explosion.
Lurching backwards from the unexpected hit and heat from a surprise attack Apemon refocuses his efforts onto Agumon with a challenging roar. Agumon braces his feet into the ground from the air pressure from the fur until he sees Apemon grin wickedly at him.
"Metallic Fur!"
Agumon feels like his is being peppered with fact moving rocks as sharp dark of Apemon's fur hit him rapidly all over his body. Jumping to the right Agumon fails to notice that Apemon took this chance to grab his bone club while he was dealing with the attack and whacks him towards Seth and Biyomon.
"Agumon!" Seth jumps into his partners flight and catches him with a lot of effort cushioning Agumon's crash with his body.
Tamer and Digimon slowly get up from that fierce barrage of attacks as Seth sees Agumon's health is down to only 30% left from just two attacks.
Biyomon is shaking with fear at seeing her new companions getting destroyed despite their best efforts to help her. Apemon readies his Bone club again as Seth gets up quickly with Agumon following his lead. Whipping out a card Seth whispers something to Agumon who grins and nods to his Tamer despite his injuries and bruises covering his form.
Lifting the bone over his head and having it double in size Apemon comes towards them with the intent to crush them. "Mega Bone Sti-!"
"Now Agumon!" Seth yells as he activates a new card.
"Smoke Wall!" Expelling a thick cloud of black smoke straight at Apemon who can be heard sputtering from being engulfed in a solid wall of smoke in the middle of his attack.
Biyomon shakes off her shock and sees Seth and Agumon running towards her at top speed with each grabbing one of her wings and continuing to run deeper into the Jungle behind them, as Apemon swings his larger club to clear the smoke with wind pressure.
Seeing his targets gone from where they were fighting he roars once more and takes to the trees leaping from branch to branch searching for his prey.
Resistor Jungle Cave
Agumon is having a pain ointment spread on his bruises and cuts by Seth ad Biyomon is wrapping the treated areas in bandages.
"Well that went well!" Agumon sarcastically yells to Seth in response to the pain and humiliation he is feeling.
Seth shakes his head, knowing that this was the first real loss Agumon had ever dealt with since they seemed o have won every battle up until this point. He experienced it himself when trying to master the Digimon Game in his world and knew what to do.
"Agumon listen" Seth gently but firmly says to his partner, in response Agumon quits trying to scratch at the bandages and settles down to listen to his friend. "We lost... but we are alive... many Digimon can't say the same thing until they re-hatch and train again from the beginning levels. You are still here, not an egg, not a Koromon, which means we can train harder and fight better next time we see him now that we know how he moves and fights. Plus buddy even though we lost I'm just glad my best friend is still here to help me through this world."
Agumon nods and then smiles as he settles down to rest and recover from the battle knowing that Seth would keep watch for now. "Thanks Seth, I'll be good as new in a bit goodnight" with a yawn Agumon falls asleep soon after.
Biyomon looks at the two from the side and sighs in respect and admiration from their friendship and remembers when she had that with a Palmon in the Palace. She thinks back to her friend from her green plant body to her purple thorn claws, to her pink amazon lily flower on her head and hopes she is doing alright with all those new tamers currently training at the Palace.
Seth suddenly sits down next to Biyomon as they watch the cave entrance for any signs of that Apemon approaching. He then opens up his menu and sees that the Smoke Wall card needs a recharge time of 10 minutes. Biyomon looks at it and can't help but ask, "So that card is new?"
Seth looks at her as he has his deck of cards in front of him, "Yeah its called Smoke Wall and it creates a 5ft thick 10 ft high wall of smoke it only last for a minute at best without wind interfering so we had to leave quickly due to that Apemon knowing how to use that Bone Club well enough for that kind of smoke removal plan. You always have to assume the worst in these losing situations and plan a quick escape. However I think I have a plan forming in my mind."
Biyomon then notices the other boost cards in Seth's deck and quickly bristles with mild anger, "Why didn't you use these other cards on Agumon to help him win then?! We would've stood a better chance of winning if you used them in combination like with that Fugamon!"
Seth opens up another menu showing the Apemon's stats, "Because I was trying to figure out what happened to that Apemon when they corrupted him." that silenced Biyomon's rant immediately. "As far as I can tell if we went with a bsic hit, pierce and distract plan an average Apemon would have fallen fast, however this Apemon has had all of his stats doubled from the one who corrupted him, most likely so he can not only scout, but also do sabotage missions. Which means he is a headache to deal with, our Pepper Breath attack barely did more that 9% of his total health we could've dealt with it then but he was dealing 35% of Agumon's health in damage per attack, in that plan I just mentioned it requires attrition, with this gap in damage that would have ended up with maybe 55% of his health depleted and Agumon as a Digi-egg. Then we would've been defenseless against him."
Biyomon physically deflates as the gravity of Seth's explanation hit home and sees just how close they were to being defeated and possibly captured. But then she looks up in shock as she sees a grin on Seth's face.
"However I now have a plan for us to win this battle, but we'll need your help on this Biyomon, will you help us?"
Biyomon thinks silently as she absorbs his words, she was a scout, a spy, not a fighter, but looking back at Agumon's hurt and sleeping form she remembers how brave he was to fight a stronger opponent, and how Seth risked his own life to help Agumon by catching him despite the danger. Looking up at Seth with determination in her eyes she answers, "Yes I will, what is the plan?"
Satisfied with her answer Seth begins to lay out his cards and the Digivice's map zooms into their location to plan out a proper ambush for their plan to work.
Biyomon suddenly remembers something, wait shouldn't there be an Angemon guard assigned to these two? Where was he during that dangerous encounter?
Just West of Apemon's Ambush spot
Said Angemon was currently fighting off 3 Fangmon's. These Champion level Virus Digimon look like crimson and skinny foxes with foot long purple claws and leather sleeves on all four legs with long sharp teeth in their mouth ready to tear into their foes. There had been 5 waiting in ambush to attack the Tamers party from behind until Angemon spotted them and engaged them dealing with 2 of them immediately using a 1-2 combo with his staff attack.
"Angles staff!" As Angemon's staff glows golden and shatters a 3rd Fangmon back into his purple with red lines Digi-egg form from already weakening it since the start of their fight mere minutes before the partners fight with Apemon.
Jumping back from a Crimson Claw attack from the remaining Fangmon's Angemon pants from the effort of bringing down a full squad of Virus Champion levels.
Okay two left I can do this, if not use the motivation of knowing they will assist that corrupt Apemon in hunting down that team you were sent to protect. And I will defeat them! Just as his thought finished he leaps into the air above a blast of fire from the Blast Coffin attack from one of the Fangmon's as the other uses his leap as a mid air attack of opportunity with his claws extended. Angemon pulls his arm back ready to punch as his hand glows. As soon as Fangmon was in range he unleashes his favorite attack "Hand of Fate!" as the Fangmon receives a solid beam of golden light right through his body from Angemon's attack, turning into a Digi-egg as well.
The last Fangmon panics and tries to run away to report to their battalion in safety until he realizes that Angemon. Can. Fly. Right as a Hand of Fate attack pierces his body as well and shatters him into his Digi-egg form. All that was left of the squad of Virus types was five Digi-eggs and the burn marks form the exchange of attacks from both sides.
Angemon lands with one knee on the ground as he supports himself on his staff from the exertion of dealing with all five of them. If I hadn't undergone combat training by lord Leomon then I would have had a lot harder time with these guys.
Catching his breath and standing up Angemon sends the Digi-eggs to Holy Angel Palace with a special Digi-egg re-locator device given to him by Lord Seraphimon.
Looking at his tracker he then shoots into the air, despite the exhaustion he felt, to catch up with the squad he was sworn to protect.
Please stay safe I'll be there soon to assist you with taking out that corrupt Apemon, just stay safe and hidden, Angemon prayed as he flew, unknowing about the enemy he was leading right to the ones he was trying to save.
Back with our group
Agumon's health was almost back to full and Biyomon was resting right next to him doing her best to keep the blanket that Seth summoned from his Digivice over both of their bodies so they wouldn't get cold. If only he would stop trying to eat the blanket he thought was food in his dream.
As this was happening Seth was using the map function to keep an eye out for hostile signals in the immediate area around them. He had tagged Apemon's data signature so they could find him later to enact their plan to defeat him.
C'mon I know you're out there somewhere, Seth scrolls through the map carefully looking at each area and analyzing every Digimon signature he saw, I would have thought with his sense of smell he would have found us by now after an hour of healing up and waiting for him.
Truth be told, Seth was glad for the break he was granted from Apemon's attack, it was allowing Agumon to heal up and recover his strength for the battle ahead. But Seth had a bad feeling something unforeseen was going to happen soon.
Right as the feeling passed he got a signature on the map telling him an ally from Holy Angel palace was flying over head, peeking out Seth saw an Angemon fly right over their hiding spot and deeper into Resistor Jungle.
Hmmm we have a protector? Or could he have simply been keeping tabs on us? Or maybe he was hoping to track us down and get us to the Palace? Well no matter the case I'll see if we can't track him down later to see if he has any information for us about those questions. Seth drew his eyes back to the map and he gasped sharply as he saw the Apemon tag was almost on top of them!
Running quickly to Agumon and Biyomon who had somehow both fallen asleep with their arms around each other Seth yells to them jolting them awake, "Guys! That Apemon is back! Get ready now!"
Coming out of his sleep quickly Agumon wakes up feeling very warm and having a nice comfy and fluffy pillow against him, then looks to see a wide eyed Biyomon staring back at him in shock and with a blush along her cheeks. They both jump away from each other in surprise as Seth chuckles at their predicament right out of an Anime or a Manga from his world.
His attention is snapped back to the Digivice as Agumon removes his Bandages with Biyomon's help. A beeping noise from the enemy locator function is sounding off very loudly warning the team of the tagged enemy being right near them.
Looking quickly at the caves entrance Agumon and Biyomon jump in front of Seth seeing Apemon grinning like a hungry predator at them from the entrance.
Biyomon tenses as Agumon leans forward ready to charge as Seth smirks to himself popping out 3 cards at once from his Digivice.
"Agumon go!" Seth yells out as Agumon charges forward his back a straight line as he runs full tilt towards his target.
Apemon smiles evilly as he rears his bone club back ready to smash it into the dinosaurs skull to shatter his head until his glee changes to surprise as Agumon jumps up and lodges into the ceiling using his powerful claws to suspend himself as Biyomon suddenly appears from behind and blasts Apemon full in the face with her Spiral Twister attack.
The spiraling green flame hits him square in the eyes and mouth making him stumble back a step, but that is what Agumon was waiting for as Seth activates his first two cards of Dragon Scales and Speed Boost. Releasing his claws from the ceiling Agumon shoots toward Apemon like a bullet from a gun and knocks him out from the cave as he skids 15ft past the downed primate. Biyomon rushes through the cave entrance as well with a sprinting Seth right behind her as Apemon tried his best to shake off his teetering vision from the hit.
Activating his next card Seth uses Smoke Wall. Apemon remembering the last time rolls to the side to avoid Agumon's aiming line, rolling to a battle stance Apemon grins as he looks toward Agumon waiting for his attack to miss.
Only to find Agumon smirking and pointing above Apemon's head. Looking up confused the Primate suddenly becomes engulfed in the smoke attack coming from Biyomon's mouth!
Grinning Seth pulls out his next two cards and uses Dragon Claw then Power Boost one after the other.
Agumon running at full tilt once more with the last few second of his Speed Boost card drives his claws into and slashing through Apemon's body at least 6 times before his boosts all disappear. During this time Biyomon flew around the smoke cloud shooting her Spiral Twister again and again into Apemon's face throughout Agumon's onslaught.
Panting from how hard he ran and attacked Agumon takes a Defensive stance in front of Seth with Biyomon flapping her wings staying in flight above both partners also panting from her contributions.
Seth checks his Digivice battle scanner to see that Apemon's health had gone down to 5% left, looking up as the smoke cleared he sees the many bleeding scratches, bruises, and burn marks coating Apemon's body.
Apemon roars loudly as he charges up his Mega Bone Club attack causing his bone to grow to 10ft long and 4 ft wide ready to smack and crush both Digimon with a sideways swing.
Seth then activates a new card, "Brave Shield!", after activating the new card a hexagon shield 5ft tall and 5ft wide appeared in Agumon's claws blocking the attack with Agumon skidding back only a few feet. Apemon tries to push Agumon harder, until he sees Biyomon flying right at him with a wind vortex around her beak, his eyes widen in realization as she has the aura of the Power Boost card around her body like when it is on Agumon.
"Piercing dive!" Biyomon dives right through Apemon's already weakened body creating a good sized hole that takes out his left arm and left side of his chest as well.
Shaking and dropping his bone club into the ground Apemon looks up at the team as the Virus leaves his system returning his fur back to the yellow and red of his normal form.
Smiling gently Apemon says one phrase, "Thank you so much." a lone tear leaves his eyes as he turns into a yellow and brown Digi-egg.
Both Rookies fall to the ground in exhaustion after such a grueling battle. Seth stores the Digi-egg and thinks back to those parting words with a determined look in his eyes.
So they are self aware but can't communicate clearly or fight their need to obey the virus...looks like we have another mission besides ending this war and bringing peace to the Digital World. And we have a new teammate to help us. Seth kneels down to both resting Digimon.
"Guys, we did it, Apemon's Digi-egg is free of the Virus and he will be born a Vaccine type again. But one question remains."
Looking at them both Seth pauses his speech to allow them time to process his words, the Digimon glance at each other before looking back at Seth with curiosity.
"Biyomon Agumon and I are strong, but there are battles like just now where we will need a friend to help us, would you join our team and help us defeat the 7 Vices Army?"
Agumon smiles brightly at this idea and looks to Biyomon for her answer.
Stunned at the question Biyomon dips into her thoughts, can I really join a Tamers team? Sure it has happened the last time we had tamers help us, but I didn't think I would be chosen for such a thing even if I had reached Ultimate level! But... I can see no better team or friends to travel and grow with.
Biyomon looks at Seth and says with clear determination and happiness in her voice, "I'll join your team, and together we will defeat the evil forces plaguing this land together!"
Grinning widely at her response Seth goes into the team registration function and sets the scanner to scan Biyomon into the team roster. After scanning her and gathering her data into a team mate slot, Biyomon suddenly feels a small jump in her energy reserves as she feels the extra data from the Digivice flow into her, allowing her to gain a small boost in levels from the shared experience function of team combat.
Seth grins widely as two new cards become available to him for Biyomon's personal use. The first is called Steel Feathers it allows the user to shoot out their feathers like steel tipped arrows out of a bow at a high rate, the maximum amount she can shoot right now is about 10. The second is called Vortex Beak it allows the user to surround their mouth or beak in a vortex of cutting wind that increases piercing damage and cutting damage.
While Seth was admiring the new cards, Agumon was checking on Biyomon's condition after she had adjusted to the burst of experience.
"You holding up ok? You looked like you were struggling a bit during the fight." Agumon asked as he was checking her body for any lasting injuries she may have gotten from the fight.
Biyomon smiles at his kindness and decides to mess with him a bit, "Well I should be asking you that in return after all you did a lot of the heavy work" as her wings circle and grip his arm like a girl holding her dates arm.
Realizing the way Biyomon was coming closer Agumon suddenly blushes and looks away shyly, "Th-that's good t-to hear Bi-Biyomon, but um why are you hugging my arm?"
Biyomon fakes a bit of hurt in her eyes and loosens her grip a bit, "You don't like it?"
Agumon panics immediately as he hates to see girls cry, especially if he accidentally caused said tears. "No! No! I liked it!" only to hear giggling from Biyomon as she smiles at his embarrassment and his cuteness.
"Urgh you're only messing with me aren't you?"
Biyomon taps her chin with her wing and tilts her head pretending to think a response as she smiles and simply says, "Maybe..."
As Agumon tries to come up with a response the two then hear a voice full of laughter say, "If you guys are done flirting, then we need to get going to Bit Forest again and get to the entrance to Phantom Ruins if we want to make good time towards Holy Angel Palace."
As the Digimon look at Seth they both blush at his words and his face as Seth is clearly trying to avoid laughing out loud at Biyomon's innocent flirting and teasing of Agumon.
The group double checks the area using their map to check for enemies, then proceed toward Bit Forest and onward to their final destination.
Above Resistor Jungle
Angemon was deep in thought as he was sighing in relief from the accident he caused. I didn't think that corrupt Apemon would follow me and have me accidentally lead him towards the group. While it is good they survived and won I will be in hot water if Lord Seraphimon learned about this blunder.
His communicator suddenly goes off interrupting his thoughts and he shivers in fear seeing it was Sorcerymon calling. Gulping down any fear and nervousness he feels he picks up, "Hello?"
Silence fills the line for a moment and Angemon thinks it was a mis-dial until he hears with great shock, "Well done Angemon, you helped them out with that squad of Fangmon's and allowed them to grow stronger by fighting that corrupt Apemon, Lord Seraphimon and I are very impressed with your work and your abilities, you are to continue your good work and continue to watch over them."
Angemon internally was cheering up a storm while on the outside he simply answered, "Thank you sir I will keep working to do my best in guiding and helping this Tamer and partner grow to their fullest potential. I-"
"Indeed" interrupts Sorcerymon with an angry edge to his voice over the comm and Angemon breaks out in a cold sweat at the next words said to him with a chilling tone behind them, "However I will tell you that I still don't like how you lost them for a moment and accidentally led the Apemon to them without meaning to, so if you value your job and don't want a job cleaning the toilets for the next 2 years DON'T RISK THEIR SAFETY AGAIN!"
Angemon gulps loudly and stutters out a response while he is covered in sweat from feeling as though he had stepped on an Ultimate levels tail and was now it's mortal enemy, "Ye-yes s-s-sir, I g-get the point and wi-will do-o-o my best to im-improve from here."
Suddenly the anger and chilling tone all at once as Sorcerymon has a cheerful tone to his voice now, "Excellent, oh and that Agumon might be the physical reincarnation of the Crest of Courage so be extra careful of this duo and defend them with your life." with that the line goes dead.
Angemon freezes for a moment before letting out a loud yell in panic and surprise, "HE MIGHT BE THE WHAAAAAAAAT!?"
With our group
With the trio currently heading towards Bit Forest again, a sudden yell with a screaming edge to the tone make them all jump and ready themselves in battle formation with Agumon in front of Seth and Biyomon flying just above Seth's right shoulder ready to help as they look around.
"Please tell me you guys heard that too?" Seth asked nervously, Both Digimon nod and Biyomon uses her keen vision while Agumon sniffs their surroundings with his sharp nose. Not sensing or seeing anything out of the ordinary they all shrug and continue on until they cross into Bit Forest once more.
"Ah! It is good to be back in an easier area that we know decently enough" Seth stretched as he said this, then stopping for a second he adopted a thinking pose with his hand rubbing his chin in thought, "What do you two say? Should we head to our old campsite and rest up before tackling Phantom Ruins? Or should we train around here and use this time to work on our team work?"
Agumon and Biyomon looked at each other and then flash backed to their fight against Apemon where they had a rough time and were barely able to pull off the plan.
"I believe that training and working on our teamwork is a solid plan, if we had better coordination and team combos prepared I believe that we would've had an easier time against that Apemon." Agumon answered honestly after thinking about it.
Biyomon nodded her head in response, "He's right you two know your combos and card abilities, but I'm still new to this team and we haven't explored all the cards we can use to boost me yet, I say we stay here and train as well, plus I could use some time to catch up to Agumon stat wise."
Seth then thought of something, "But what about that information you gathered for Lord Seraphimon?"
Biyomon blanked out for a second as she processed this statement and her eyes grew comically wide as she realized this was the whole point of her getting to the castle! "ACK! You're right! But how do I get to the castle with the information? We are literally stuck between a rock and a hard place!"
Looking at the Island from a top view of their 3D map they saw she was correct as Resistor Jungle had higher leveled foes as you went further in, while you had to climb a small plateau to reach Phantom Ruins.
Right as the group was panicking about trying to reach the castle swiftly a voice suddenly rang out from their midst, "I believe I can help with that." Looking down they all saw a communication line had opened up from the Digivice to the Holy Angel Castle line.
Grabbing the Digivice Biyomon quickly answered the voice, "Sir Sorcerymon! Is that you?!"
"It is." answered Sorcerymon from the call line.
"Who?" Seth and Agumon asked while tilting their heads in confusion.
"Sorry for the late introduction, I am Sorcerymon the right hand man and head adviser for Lord Seraphimon's council, I am calling to let you know I have found your Digivice's signature and finally got the correct channel to call you on. Terribly sorry you had to learn so much about being a Tamer from the help guide in your device and from real experience, However I see that you have been able to do exemplary work with just this to go on." Sorcerymon praised from his end of the call.
Seth scratches the back of his head in embarrassment at the praise, "Well I was one of the top ranked Digimon Gamers in my world before here so I just treated it like learning a new games controls and operations."
Chuckling could be heard from his end, "Yes Jennai was quite proud of your achievements in the game despite you not participating in the lesser skill tournaments often, instead opting for the ranking tournaments where you often scored into the 8th-4th rankings."
Agumon's and Biyomon's mouths drop open in slack jawed shock at this news and look at Seth with a mixture of shock and admiration. Blushing Seth chuckles in an embarrassed manner before realizing something, "Hey wait, Jennai the creator of the Digimon MMO-RPG game watched my progress?"
Sorcerymon answers with praise and respect thick in his voice, "Why yes, did you not know? Despite doing so well your player track record was impressive but what impressed Jennai the most was your gaming etiquette to the younger and less experienced players. That is what made him recognize and select you to be a Tamer to help save our world. Your kind heart, ability to plan and strategize, and love of Digimon all contributed to this choice."
Seth stands there shocked for a minute before his face breaks out in an ear to ear smile at being recognized by the man who created his favorite game ever. "This is awesome I can't wait to meet Jennai when I get to your castle and thank him for choosing me for this role in helping save your world!"
Silence dominated the line as Sorcerymon didn't answer for a good long minute.
"Sir Sorcerymon?" Biyomon asks with nervousness in her voice at the continued radio silence.
"Jennai was captured when he returned to our lab that developed the Digivice's, it was raided by one of the generals of the 7 Vices Army, Piedmon. Piedmon destroyed the original Tamer eggs and crests but Jennai had a backup plan, his Game that would find and choose the top 1,000 players to come and be our new Tamer army to combat this threat." Sorcerymon replied with sadness dripping from his voice.
"I-I'm sorry for your loss, but what are the crests you talked about?" Seth asked with sympathy and curiosity.
Sorcerymon's voice seemed to pick up a bit as the topic was changed, "They are the 8 sigils of power that reflect the most powerful quality of a Tamers soul and they allow the Digimon to Digivolve past the Champion and even Ultimate levels. Reaching Mega and possibly even further, but before we could study this potential our lab was breached and we lost most of our scientists and Digimon guards who were defending it with their lives. Only a few of them came back alive. Now we are scanning for the remnants of the crests energy since they can't be destroyed just dispersed and harnessed into a new vessel."
Seth calms down and then says with conviction, "Sorcerymon take Biyomon's report on what she found in the enemies plans over the communicator, we're going to train here for a bit before heading to Phantom Ruins to make our way to the Palace towards you guys, then we can make a plan about finding the crests energy and we can make a plan with the other Tamers that you said landed at the Palace, we're going to turn this war around."
"Very well I look forward to seeing you all here and seeing how much more powerful you become during your journey, Biyomon your report please." Sorcerymon answers diplomatically.
As she gives her report Biyomon continues to glance at Seth and Agumon as they are setting up a campsite with training gear to train all their stats across the board as they discussed possible situations in combat and what combos they can pull off with the combat cards. With a smile on her face she continues her report to Sorcerymon.
Biyomon's face changes to a determined serious one as she gets to the important part of what she learned behind enemy lines, "The enemy generals apparently have a plan to create new training gear that simulates having a Tamer working with their forces to assist them in Digivolution efforts to strengthen their forces power."
Sorcerymon thinks from his end, This could be an attempt by them to create a back up 7 Generals group for just in case we defeat their current Generals, or perhaps... a way to recruit Tamers with corrupt hearts from the humans world! I must report this to Lord Seraphimon immediately!, and then answers with seriousness and a slight panicked tone in his voice, "Very well we will do our best to improve our training conditions and get more Tamers with their partners to boost our war potential, I'll report this to Lord Seraphimon right away. Good luck and do your best to grow stronger Biyomon, Sorcerymon out."
"Yes sir!" Biyomon says as the line cuts off. Turning around to give Seth and Agumon the news she stops short of her update after seeing their campsite, or more accurately their personal gym.
They setup 3 tents one for each of their group, a campfire with a pot bubbling a dinner over it. But the shocker was that the partners had set up a treadmill, a bench press with adjustable weights, kettle balls, medicine balls, dumbbells, pull up bar, a punching bag, and finally a full set of body weights to be strapped onto our body to increase the challenge and muscles gain from the exercises.
Biyomon is shaken from her shocked stupor when she hears, "Let's go Biyomon! We got training to do!" looking over she sees Agumon with weights on his legs and arms as he struggles to run on the treadmill. She then looks at Seth using the punching bag to train himself with a weighted vest on himself as well. Sighing with a shrug and a smile on her face at her teams antics she puts on some arm weights and begins to try to fly with them on her.
It was going to be a long few days.
Above Resistor Jungle
You know I feel like I should follow that example in my own way, Thinks the Angemon protector as he then searches the nearby area for any enemies that might get in the way of the group who are hard at work to improve themselves. Finding a tribe of Ogremon's and Goblimon's he descends and challenges them all after scanning them and finding that they were all virus types who were aligned with the 7 Vices Army. Grinning he gets his staff ready and charges them with his fist glowing with holy energy.
