Chapter 48

Honor and ash

Pyrrha Pov: It was about two days since what happen at the castle. We manage to reclaim the castle and defeated Ryuzo. But it wasn't all grand as Lord Shimura turn on us as he try to force Jin to blame us for what we did to defeat the Mongols. He turn his back on his uncle and give himself up to help us escape to the north. The Khan and Mephistomon were heading north as we track them to a port town call port Izumi. We have taken refuge in an abandon fort to rest after the hard battles. We found some heavy clothes to stay warm in the cold weather. "Man this sucks big time." Nora said as she hug Kaji and Gammamon close to her chest to keep them warm. "To think Shimurta would turn on Jin like that." Jaune said. 'Can you really blame him, it was either his way or death." Yuna said. 'You think Shimura will really execute Jin?" Ren ask concern for our friend. "No, Lord Shimura isn't heartless like that, he will most likely lock Jin in prison in hope of getting him to see reason." I said. 'We need to bust him out, were going to need Jin if were going to take down the Mongols." Jaune said.

"That impossible Jaune, the castle is in lock down after we escape, but5 I was able to get a message to Kenji." Yuna said. "What you tell him?" Ludomon ask. "I told Kenji to do what he can to break Jin out and have him to meet us at the village of Kin. He also send Jin gear." Yuna said. "You think he can do it?" Falcomon said. Nora let out a chuckle. "It Kenji, he can sweet talk anyone." Nora said with a grin. "Much time have past let us proceed to the village and wait for him." I said. "Right let go." Yuna said as we head to our horses and rode out of the fort. We travel down the road as we saw much the area was burn to ash. 'To think the Mongols would do this." Jaune said sadly. "It horrible but the most we can do is try to save as many as we can Jaune." Yuna said. "Let us hope so Yuna." I said as we soon came to a village with a large tree in the center. We saw it was burn to the ground as the tree was torch. We move into a house to avoid being seen by the Mongols in the area. There was a few bodies in the house. They were lying in pools of blood. "Damn those Mongols." Ren said anger. I kneel to a body.

"There no wound, the blood look to be coming from his mouth, did he suffer a internal injury?" I ask. 'No he was poison." Ren said. 'Your right we seen this before Jin poison, did the Mongols get their hands on it?" Jaune ask worry. We soon heard yelling. We went out side as we saw the Mongols were shooting at some one. It was Jin as he was wearing black roges. "It Jin." I said. We saw Jin was hit in the shoulder with an arrow as Jin look to be gagging. "Shadow dragon swift wave!" Ren shout as he shot the wave of shadow to blast the Mongol back as we ran to Jin who was on the ground. Ren pull out the arrow." Damn it wolfbane they are suing it." He said. 'Is there anything we can do?" Yuna ask. 'Yes, I was able to make a counter agent to it by studying it before the attack on the castle." Ren said as he took out a vial and pour it into Jin mouth to make him drink it. 'That should do it, but we need to get out of here." Ren said. 'He right more Mongol will come." Jaune said as he and Yuna help Jin onto a horse. "Jin please hang on." Yuna said as we quickly ride away from the village.

"We got Jin back to the fort to rest as we waited till the next day. We sat around Jin as he groans as he came too. "He coming to." Ren said as he help Jin to sit. "We weren't sure you would made it Thanks the gods that Ren was able to make a cure to the poison." Yuna said. "You had us worry for a while." Jaune said. "I thought I wouldn't, the Mongols use my own poison on me." Jin said confirming our fears. "How did they get?" Yuna ask. "They most likely discover it when we poison their feast." Ren said. "And they learn to make it themselves." Jin said. ""They must have tested it on the people of Kin." Yuna said. "We found a few bodies that choke to death. It was horrible." I said recalling what we found in the village. "There only one way to end this, kill Khotun Khan." Jin said. "Then it a good thing we found where he at." Nora said. "He taken his army to a stronghold on the coast, port Izumi." Yuna said. "We will need a staging ground somewhere close." Jin said. "I'll see what I can find, your equipment is in that chest. meet me by the look out tower when your ready," Yuna said as she head out.

Jin went to get dress in his ghost gear. "So your uncle really lock you up?" Jaune ask. "Yes, the was planning on shipping me to the mainland to face the shogun, lucky Kenji was able to get me out in time." Jin said as he finish getting ready. "Well were just happy your back, now we can really give it to the Mongols." Nora said. "Indeed, let check in with Yuna." Jin said as we head out side and head to the tower where Yuna was waiting for us. "I think I found a better hideout., climb up and loo toward the mountain." She said as we climb the tower to look. "AA hide out somewhere by the mountain." Jin said. "Does she mean that temple?" Jaune ask as we saw a temple in the distance. "Jogaku pagoda, sheltered, defensible and is striking distance of the Khan stronghold." Jin said. "Their only one problem the Mongols have it." Yuna said. "Then we must take it back." Falcomon said. "Let get to the horses, what happen to your mount." Yuna ask as we head for the stable. Jin sighs. "When I scape the castle they fire on us, they killed Kage." Jin said sadly.

"I'm sorry Jin he was a good horse. But these will have to do for now." Ren said as we got on the horses to ride out. AAs we ride we saw people on the roads. "Are those people from Kin?" Jin ask. "I don't know." Yuna said. 'The Mongols burn a lot of the towns when they got up here." Jaune said. "If we only pursued their army sooner instead of fighting each other." Jin said anger by what happen. "It just how things play out for us." Ren said. ""Why did you surrender to your uncle?' Yuna ask. "I couldn't let him take all of you. My uncle needed someone to blame." Jin said. 'And he chose us." Biyomon said. "He was trying to protect me. To fulfill his duty to the Shogun. I surrendered so you all could escape north and pick up the khan trail." Jin said. "Your uncle is a real dumbass for turning against us." Nora said. 'Agree." Yuna said. "He wanted me to be his son!" Jin shout surprising us. Jin sigh as he calm down. "I destroy his dream." He said sadly. "By doing the right thing." Yuna said. "She is right, it must have been hard for him to do this." Pyrrha said.

"Being right doesn't always make things better." Jin said. "Tell that to the people you save." Yuna said. "If we do kill the Khan and Mephistomon and drive the Mongols out Is there a chance your uncle will forgive you?" Jaune ask. "When I was young Lord Shimura become my father, my sensei, my entire world. I never wanted to disappoint him. I have to hope we can heal this wound. What ever happen, his forgiveness won't change who I am." Jin said. "He thinks we corrupted you." Yuna said. "I made my own choices, even knowing what they cost me. I'll make them again. If the shogun branded me a traitor." Jin said. "We will stand by you no matter what." Ren said. "Were close to Jogaku temple." Jin said "There a fishing camp on the lake we could scout the temple grounds from it." Yuna said. "Leave the horse, we'll go in on foot." Jin said as we got off the horse. "The best way to go is by open ground." Pyrrha said. "Or by frozen lake." Jin said as we walk across the ice. Good thing it quite solid. We soon found the camp as it was control by Mongols.

"The Mongols have prisoners." Jin said. "Were going to have to free them." Ren said. "They will freeze to death." Yuna said. 'We'll free them clear the fishing village then we take the temple." Jin said. "Over there a signal cannon." Jaune said as we spot the cannon nearby. "To alert the others of the attack." Yuna said as she and Jin got ready. They quickly shot their arrows to take out the Mongols. Once that was dealt with we went over to free the prisoners. "They were working us to death." A man said. "Your free now go." Jin said as the peasants ran off. "That everyone here." Yuna said. "The temple will have stronger defenses, we can't rush in." Jin said. 'Let scout it from here." I said as we look at the shoreline of the temple. "Check it out explosives on the ice that could be fun." Nora said with a grin as we saw a cart of explosives on the ice. "They have archers watching the shore, they will pick us off if we get close." Ren said. "Let bring them to us. Nora fire the signal cannon, lure them onto the ice." Jin said. 'And then we take them out I love it." Nora said as she lite the cannon as it went off. We soon see the Mongols rushing toward us.

Jin shot a flaming arrow at the explosives setting them off to take out a good handful of them as we rush in. "White dragon iron fish!" Jaune shout as he slam his fish to send a few of them flying away. "Wall ralts." Ludomon shout as he jump to tackle one into the ice. 'Satetsu Surashu!' I shout as I swung my blade to send the blade of iron sand to force some back. "Shadow dragon haste!" Ren shout as he shot shadows to strike at the Mongols. "Ninja blade!" Falcomon shout as he threw his shuriken to take out a couple. Nora grins as she slam her hammer onto the ice causing it to shatter dropping many Mongols into the freezing waters. "Spiral twister!" Biyomon shout as she shot her flames at few of them. Jin block the blade of a Mongol as he slice off his arms and kick him back. Yuna shot her arrows into the head of the last one that try to retreat from us. "Were clear. how do we get into the temple?" Jaune ask. "That waterfall frozen over, we could climb it to get over the back wall." Yuna said.

"Good plan." Ludomon said as we make our way to the water fall. We climb over it to get into the temple. "Let take them out." Jaune said. "Digi-modify Digivolvtion activate." We shout.

Digivolvtion

Ludomon digivolve to Tialudomon

Falcomon digivolve to Peckmon

Biyomon digivolve to Birdramon

"White dragon fang slash!" Jaune shout as he shot the energy blade top knock back a few Mongols. "Assault claw!" Tialudomon shout as he stab at a large Mongol to send him into a wall. "Satetsu no yari!" I shout as I send the sand spears into a couple of Mongols. "Shadow dragon waxwing flash!" Ren shout as he was cover sin shadows as he send a torrent of shadows to consume the Mongols. "Spiral claw!" Peckmon shout as he jump to stab his claw through a few of them. Nora was blasting the Mongols back with her grenade launcher as Kaji hang on her back. "Meteor wings!' Birdramon shout as the fire bird rain fire balls down on them. Jin and Yuna work together as they fought back to back to cut down the remaining Mongols. Once the temple was clear our Digimon turn back to normal. We went over to the monk that the Mongols were holding hostages and free them. "'We thought we'll die as their slaves." The monk said. "They can't hurt you now." Jin said. "No Mongols, solid walls I think we'll be safe here." Yuna said.

"Indeed an idea place to defend." Ren said. We saw that Jin look worry. "Hey your uncle chose his path." Yuna said trying to comfort him. "And I chose mine. Khotun studied lord Shimura tactics. he know how to break an army of samurai." Jin said. "But he doesn't know how to defend against us." Jaune said. "We'll make him hurt for Taka." Yuna said. "For everyone, come we should make sure the area secure." Jin said as we got to work. Hopefully thing s will go in our favor now.
