Arc 2 ch 14

Location: Dead fields (previously golden fields) Granddracmon's New mansion

After Agumon finished reading his best-selling book, Kayden enters the portal room where Granddracmon is channeling the power of several Sorcerermon, Wizardmon and a Wisemon into a bundle of gems the shape of different crest symbols at the bottom of the gateway.

Granddracmon notices them enter, "Ah I see you have finished; the portal is just about ready." Granddracmon channels his energy to the crests. Chaosdukemon notices a shiny metal object in the shape of a Tyrannomon, "Oh my gawd! Is that a limited edition 50th Anniversary Tamagucchi Tyrannomon model!" Chaosdukemon races over to the object and trips.

"Oh hell no!" Granddracmon gets distracted and shoots a beam at Chaosdukemon sending him flying. A blinding light flashes from the crest shaped gems, a fizzle of electricity pops and crackles the gems implode on themselves shattering into a million tiny pieces. The wizard digimon look mortified as they witness the gems explode.

Granddracmon, "Oops"

Kayden asks, "What just happened?"

Granddracmon, "Your cretin just caused me to overload the crest gems and now" he points at Kayden, "YOU have to go obtain new ones from the trash pit."

Kayden, "Wait what? Why? Don't you have a ton of expensive gems to replace them?"

Granddracmon takes a breath, holding in his gentlemanly temper. Before be could let out some very stern words Wisemon speaks up, "Young man, you want to go to Hexocliff. We are merely repaying a favor to your mother, for we owe very much of our own survival because of her. But, there is a fine line to your rudeness! My lord has given you and your destructive hooligans, plenty of leeway."

Wisemon is seething mad, before Kayden could open his mouth Blkagumon runs in front of him. "My liege! Please forgive the boy! He is but a young juvenile delinquent! We are still training him to become a future leader! Our general has been raising him personally as a single digimon father! Please forgive this child's rudeness!"

Blkagumon bows. Chaosdukemon scrambles over as well, "Please my lord! It was my fault! I… couldn't help myself! That figure was so magnificent and rare I was enchanted by its shininess and felt the urge to admire its greatness. My lord you have such great items"

Granddracmon calms down, "Hmm, very well. I do enjoy a good groveling. However, this punishment shall go towards the both of you." He looks over to a Roachmon who is holding a lever, "Pull the lever, Krunch!"

CRANK.

Suddenly the floor opens and both Kayden and Chaosdukemon fall into a dark pit. Granddracmon shouts at the, "Send king my regards. Oh, and I'll hold onto your boxed squirrel. Enjoy your much needed excursion."

Kayden, "Why you-"

Location: Sewers, ?

SLAM! The floor closes before Kayden can let out his colorful vocabulary. Chaosdukemon catches him and they land in a pile of pink color sludge.

Chaosdukemon degenerates into Blkguilmon.

Blkguilmon, "Ugh! Ew ew ew!" He pushes Kayden from on top of him. He ends up face down in the pink sludge with it getting all down his mouth.

Kayden gets up and spits out the digital sewage. "Ugh, what is this shit?"

Blkguilmon with a stern face, "Pink mud."

Kayden looks at Blkguilmon, "Hey you're back to your rookie form."

Blkguilmon, "Uh, yea. This mud is preventing me from wanting to digivolve. This stuff… sort of stains a guy."

Kayden tilts his head, "Uh, don't Digimon forms just automatically- "

Blkguilmon, "No. And getting THIS out of a cape specifically and every crevice of my armor would require hours of therapy and scrubbing. Even that will never wipe away the memories of trauma."

Kayden narrows his eyes and coughs "Drama Queen" He looks around, "So we just need to find this king guy and get the crest gems or something right?"

Blkguilmon, "Something like that yea."

They both gather themselves and look at their surroundings. It's damp, dark and 'pink mud' lines the walls of the brick sewer walls. Water flows through several grates and channels mixing with the pink substance creating a flowing sludge that they must trek through. Blkguilmon wears an expression like he wants to say something, Kayden looks at him.

Kayden, "What?"

Blkguilmon, "Hmm, thinking of how to word this."

Kayden, "Word what?"

Blkguilmon, "Why do you always pick fights with things stronger than you? If Pagui hadn't stepped up, Granddracmon could easily kill us all. Then everything would have been for nothing. Do you have no sense of fear or self-preservation whatsoever?"

Kayden shrugs, "He's not that tough, besides if he could, he would. But he didn't. Dude wants to act like a gentleman, why do I gotta do that? Besides we got him under contract"

Blkguilmon sighs and shakes his head, "I was like you once, maybe not as bold but… a piece of paper won't be able to protect you. Like…"

Kayden asks, "Like?"

Blkguilmon, "Nevermind"

Kayden, "Whatever, I'm in charge of myself. Even if I were left alone, I'm not going to change because some a**hole acts all high and mighty. Reminds me of my dad, kinda pi**es me off." He shows a tiny bit of sadness on his face, "Besides everyone comes and goes, I'm just trying to hang onto Furrmon. He's innocent and stupid."

Blkguilmon looks at Kayden and smiles, "Stupid and innocent hmm?"

Minutes pass as they trudge through thicker and thicker sludge until they start to hear Digimon further down the sewer. It's hard to grasp what they are saying, so Blkguilmon and Kayden follow the voices downwards.

Sukamon A, "Is that all you got! I thought we were fighting dirty! Har har har!"

Sukamon B, "Oh yea, take this!" He pulls a level connected to a ceiling toilet which starts to turn the room into a massive whirlpool of sludge with the consistency of quicksand. "For the danglers!" Kayden and Blkguilmon feel the sludge start to pull them into the room full of ceiling toilets, pipes, 'pink mud' and junk. Kayden shouts, "Hey!" before tripping over junk sliding in behind him forcing both he and Blkguilmon closer to the whirlpool's center.

Sukamon A looks towards Kayden and Blkguilmon, "Outsiders! Are you dangler or plopper outsider?"

Kayden asks, "What does that mean?"

Sukamon B, "Oh we got a neutral huh? Well, let's see what the king decrees!" He pulls the lever again this time the toilet flushes faster sending them all down a series of tunnels through the sewers. Sukamon A grabs some random bike wheels covered in 'pink mud', shuriken throws them at Sukamon B who takes it right in the face. SPLUT!

Sukamon B, "Ugh!" The wheels attach to his sides due to the 'pink mud'.

Sukamon A, "You seem like you're in a wheely bad predicament!"

Sukamon B retaliates by grabbing a sock, filling it with mud and slinging it straight at him, "Put a sock in it, I'm tired of your shitty puns!"

Sukamon A is hit by the sock which explodes 'pink mud' all on his face, "Oh, now we are shit slinging huh?" He pulls a whistle out of the flowing sludge. BWEEET!

Kayden asks Blkguilmon, "What the heck is going on?!"

Blkguilmon, "You really don't want to know. REALLY. Just-"

Suddenly, Chuumon in ninja suits plop down from the pipes start tossing digi-acorns and digi-paint grenades at Sukamon B. Kayden and Blkguilmon get caught in the crossfire between them and end up graffitied with all sorts of substances and colors. Blkguilmon, "Why?!"

Sukamon A, "Just cause!"

Sukamon B pulls out two cymbals and smashes them repeatedly together. BSH! BSH! BSH! From the sludge a Sukanewtmon and several Platinum Sukamon riding its sides appear. Platinum Sukamon 1, "Let her rip!" A wet gaseous noise can be heard intensifying from the Sukanewtmon. Blkguilmon's eyes go wide, "Oh sweet Yggdrassil!"

Kayden still clueless as ever, "What?" Sukanewtmon lets out the biggest rumbling fart out of its mouth and this time green, putrid slime shoots out at them all. The gusto of its 'mighty mouth burp' move, sends them tunneling fast to a large room full of treasures and junk. In the center of it all is a throne which sits a Kingsukamon who stares gleefully at his visitors. In an underwhelming voice, Kingsukamon "Oh? What have we here! A Blkguilmon and human?"

Location: Treasure Room in the Sewers.

Kingsukamon sits upon his gaudy goldish and obnoxiously studded chair, decorated in all sorts of digital symbol jewels. Kayden stands up straight looking Kingsukamon in the eyes. Kingsukamon gives him a quizzical look, "What's wrong with you child? You need to go?"

Kayden, "No, I'm challenging you for the jewels on that chair!"

BlkGuilmon's jaw drops, "Kayden why? We-"

Kingsukamon smiles and claps his hands together, "A challenge you say?! Challenge accepted!" No other words were exchanged, and the entire room turned into a junk arena. Kingsukamon's throne flew up into the air and turned into a blimp. The arena was suddenly the size of several football fields. Pipes flow from random directions in various sizes that would make a murphy-o game jealous. The sewage flowed slowly in random whirlpools around with only tiny boxes to jump on. Sukanewtmon ravenously swallowed whatever could fit in their mouth. All around them are Sukamon, Chuumon, Numemon and Geremon standing there as if they were summoned. Weapons of modern plumbing lay scattered around the field with toiletry themed items.

Kingsukamon waves his hands and both of his hands shouting in the air, "There can only be one!" Blkguilmon digivolves into Damemon!

Kayden digivolves into Chuuchuumon!

Kayden in a gruff voice, "Aw man, why I gotta be the little guy!"

Damemon scoffs, "What about you? WHAT ABOUT YOUR COMMON SENSE!?"

Kayden shrugs, "He was gonna do it anyway, not like if we asked nicely, he'd give us the gems."

Kingsukamon floats down, "Oh, you should have asked. But we don't take decrees of challenges lightly either. No turning back now!" Damemon gives Chuuden an angry look. Kingsukamon floats up, "Welcome to the trash pit! Now the rules are simple:

Damemon is our Knight and Chuuchuumon is our King!

Take the king, bring him to me and I'll return you back home.

If the king makes it to the end, he may have a favor!

Fail and I will send you down the drain!

Happy hunting! ~"

Damemon asks, "What does he mean the end?"

Chuuden says, "We gotta beat them all!"

Damemon says, "Uh, Kayden I don't know about you, but we are on an even playing field. I can probably take on a few of them but- "

Chuuden shushes Damemon, "Shush, get moving hat boy!"

Damemon, "Hat boy! Ok remind me to tell you what this sludge REALLY is!"

Chuuden pulls out his axe, "That's the spirit!"

The numemon, geremon, sukamon and chuumon came at them. They went at them one at a time at first, but then some started teaming up trying to corner them. But Kayden would watch Damemon's back just as Damemon was moving forward through the obstacle course. They hopped through the tiny boxes in the sludge pit, rode the ravenous sukanewtmon like logs dodging 'pink mud' thrown at them from every angle. Damemon used whatever attacks he had which were mainly fart cannons and shitty jokes. Damemon gags, "Why are humans excluded from smelling all this! Why!?"

Chuuden, "?"

Damemon starts to stagger, "This place is so… disgusting!"

Chuuden pokes Damemon, "Hey, snap out of it!"

Damemon is now starting to lose reaction speed in the middle of an open field surrounded by the digimon. They get battered in sludge, slime, paint, and all sorts of noxious materials. Damemon has finally had enough and lost all his resolve to go on, he was beyond saving being covered in the most unimaginable stuff. The Digimon close in stopping only a few feet from them in a circle; Kingsukamon floats down towards them and exits his blimp shooing it away. He approaches Damemon and Chuuden, "Well, well, well. Look what we got here. Stuck, are we? Hehehe!" The others laugh with him, until kingsukamon motions silence. "I'll make you a deal. I'll free you, but I keep him. I do love that dark and HANDsome type hoo hoo!"

Chuuden whispers to Damemon "You know why Furrmon is stupid? Because he stands by my side. Heh. Just like you."

Chuuden takes his axe and just goes ham on everyone, he fights every Digimon in extremely brutal combat. Chuuden roared like a lion, "ROOAR!" sending uncomfortable shivers down each of his enemies' knees. At first, they tried going offensive, but the axe was a weapon of his digital mastery and he slaughtered them completely. The excess of data causes:

Damemon digivolves into Tuwarmon!

The Digimon start to scatter and run but Chuuden and Tuwarmon take every single one of them out. Not even the Sukanewtmon wanted any part of the violence. Kingsukamon looked stunned, "Oh… my subjects. My playthings…"

Tuwarmon exclaims, "Whoa! Where did that come from?"

Chuuden says, "After many years of being a lost cause, Leokumon told me if I'm going to be stupid. I need to be stupid strong. So, he raised me like a Digimon! Honestly, he's a better Dad than my real one ha."

Tuwarmon, "Huh, so that's where he went. I wonder why he never brought you to the island… Oh wait!"

Kingsukamon can be seen trying to sneak away but Tuwarmon flies over to him stopping him in his tracks. Tuwarmon speaks in a firm tone, "You! Turn us back! Give us the dirty gems and I NEVER want to speak of this again! Or I will burn this place to the ground! I will find a way to burn digital water! Don't tempt me!"

Kingsukamon nods, waves his hands changing Tuwarmon back into Blkguilmon and Chuuden into Kayden. Kayden then says, "Now the crest gems for the portal." With his hand open wide.

Kingsukamon tilts his head, "What?"

Kayden puts his axe to Kingsukamon, "Just give it all to us! The whole thing, or I'll slice you right here!"

Kingsukamon throws all his gems into a large rucksack which Blkguilmon can barely carry, "Is that all of it!?"

Kingsukamon nods. Kayden then with the axe on his throat, "Start the portal." Shakily Kingsukamon opens the portal. Blkguilmon firmly looks at Kingsukamon, "I better not hear a peep of this above ground". They walk through the portal.

Location: Portal Room, Granddracmon's new mansion.

They arrive back at the mansion in the portal room where Granddracmon was seated reading his favorite novel, "One Crest". He closes his books and looks at them both, "My, you both look… repulsive. Would you like to-"

Kayden takes the bag of gems and scatters them on the floor, "I took them all, open portal now!"

Granddracmon looks down at the pile of 'pink mud' covered gems. He rings a bell and Butler Bakemon appears, completely mortified and on the brink of a mental meltdown. Other Bakemon go to take him away and carry all the gems away. They were clearly disgusted and questioning their life choices. Granddracmon claps his hands, "Well done, you completed a task more than explementary! Hoozah!" He smiles, "At first, I wondered if sending you there was extreme. Then I remembered, I don't care. If you made it back with those gems I'd open the portal for you. The truth is I never needed the gems. I just wanted to send you down the gutter with all the other piles of … filth." He laughs, "But it seems you are useful after all."

Kayden glares at him, "So you were messing with me?"

Kayden takes a breath, then he thinks for a moment. He thinks about Furrmon and sighs, "Sure. When will the portal be open?"

Granddracmon says, "After you have a bath" Granddracmon rings the bell again, this time Phantomon shows up. "Sire" Phantomon says hovering close by. Granddracmon says, "Give them the pampers treatment."

Hours later the gang is ready and organized, their gang consisted of Beezlemon X(Formerly Wizardmon), Chaosdukemon (X-Anti-body), Gaiomon (Formerly Blkagumon), Lopmon and Chaosdramon X (Granddracmon's Lacky). Then there was Kayden with Furrmon tided closely to his back. Gaiomon explains to everyone the gameplan, "Beezlemon hold of stray Ereapermon and data zombies, kill if it can't be avoided. We don't want a swarm." Beezlemon nods. "Chaosdukemon will go in with Kayden and the egg, Chaosdramon X will guard the entrance to the boss room."

Chaosdukemon nods, "Of course."

He continues, "Granddracmon has granted us Keramon bait as well. activate only on sightings of the rangers, Lopmon. You will be our eyes and ears for reinforcements if we need to attract Diaboromon. He's also granted access to the Dark Area Hexocliff security system so that you can be the patrol sphere to back us up. And emergency exit is there as well!"

Lopmon, "Aye, Aye captain!"

Gaiomon finishes, "I'll be acting on priority. Understood? Everyone has their communication network on, right?"

Everyone, "Yes!"

Gaiomon breathes in, "Ok guys… Let's do it!"

Granddracmon waves at them from behind, "Do come back in one piece."

Dimensional Pocket above the Dark Area: Hexocliff.

They land on the gridded and abstract plane of Hexocliff. The data was fractured in different areas and inconsistent in others. Parts glitched forward and backwards, the space above them was pure gray with leftover data and polygons functioning as skies causing some weird swirly effect to constantly change the grayscale. The entrance to the boss's room was directly down a long grid path with clusters of resting winged creatures. A few seem to wander endlessly flying above them, but the others just rest below asleep. Gaiomon warns everyone, "Remember don't touch them, try to attract the least amount of attention. If one wakes up before the rangers Retreat. If rangers come down let them take aggro and push them back to level 4."

They split up taking various positions, Gaiomon leads Kayden and Chaosdukemon to the boss room deep within the level. Surprisingly they a nimble when their lives depend on it. Gaiomon gets Chaosdramon X prepared in a spot where the rangers would have to face him before being able to go in. Gaiomon would also have enough time to guide everyone. Before they enter, Gaiomon says, "Look for Reikyu's sword. And if… if you see him. Tell him I'm coming."

Kayden and Chaosdukemon enter the boss room; A monster lays frozen, defeated on the floor. They approach it and see a sword piercing the monster's head. Chaosdukemon stares at it, "Reikyu's sword… It's been so long."

Kayden starts trying to climb up the giant monster and up to the sword, Chaosdukemon follows him quickly "Hey! Don't just do that what if it wakes up?"

Kayden says, "If it were that easy, I think he'd be up by now, now let's get to the sword."

Chaosdukemon helps Kayden up on top of the massive monster where the sword is pinning its head down. At the top of his head they notice Metalgarurumon (Blk) frozen on top holding the sword down.

Kayden touches the sword with Furrmon's box, and a spark gets between them with Furrmon's box breaking completely, falling to the floor, and cracking up. Between the cracks a red glow pulses through it. Kayden goes after the egg, "Furrmon! No!" Chaosdukemon catches him before he takes a steep fall. Chaosdukemon shouts, "Careful! You can't help him if you get hurt!"

Kayden looks at Chaosdukemon with tears in his eyes, "Sorry!" Kayden picks up the egg, "Please, Furrmon! No!" The egg weakly pulses and the sword shines a faint light.

Chaosdukemon gasps, "Tsunu… is that you?"

Tsunu appears from the faint light, "I sense a friendship in danger. A familiar sense."

Kayden holds the egg to Tsunu, "How do we fix him? How do we save him?"

Tsunu looks at the egg, "End his suffering you kill him, End my suffering you'll save him."

The sword starts to glow red, black and gold colors and imbues it's powers into Metalgarururmon (black).

Metalgarurumon (Black) digivolves into SiegeGarurumon.
