I look up at the sky as dusk takes over. The day was crazy. Multiple very…colorful arguments between Whispered and Olegmon, Coronamon trying to stop them, and Lalamon and Whispered trying to drink beer but getting stopped seven times by Olegmon. I lean against the edge of the ship and look over to see Lalamon asking Olegmon all sorts of questions.
"Was my dad really cool in the army? Did he like to brawl a lot?" She asks, floating around Olegmon.
"Your dad was more of one of those strategizer lads. Always stayed in his castle, making plans and ways to quote on quote "" thicken the plot"" Olegmon says.
"You think a guy with such good strategies could make better jokes." Whispered mocks.
"For once I agree with you" He laughs and Lalamon gasps. She goes to tackle Whispered to the ground. The loud thud scares Guilmon right to my side. I look to my right and I recognize the island to be Splashmon's and Ranamon's. I go over and pick up Bukamon, who was resting by the door. I go to the side.
"Splashmon! Ranamon! We've got Bukamon!" I yell and out comes Splashmon running to the boat. He jumps up and lands on his face. Whispered bursts out laughing while Coronamon helps him up.
"Bukamon!" He says, as he takes Bukamon from me and nuzzles his face against Bukamon's back. "Thank you!" he says.
"You really have to thank Olegmon, he did all the work…" I say and Splashmon faces Olegmon.
"Thanks Olegmon, but I didn't expect to see you out here so late."
"I'm taking them to the Northeast mainland, they should be more likely to find the other generals there." Olegmon says. Splashmon eyes dull, as he turns to me.
"Derin, listen closely. That mainland is full of forests and dangerous digimon. You need to be on high alert. Though I trust you and your digimon will be alright." He gets down on one knee. "I'll always be here if you need help. But for now, it's time I say goodbye." He stands up and walks to the edge of the boat, putting one foot on the brim. "Good luck to you all!" He waves us off before jumping off and back onto the island. The ship starts back up and we all wave to him.
"Thank you so much Splashmon!" I yell as soon mist overpowers the vicinity and the island drifts from view. I recall what he said, and luck, is what we really need right now.
(Meanwhile)
"You want another go at it, Myotismon?" Axeknightmon asks, shaking his head. "You better not let me down this time. Just get Coronamon and leave." Myotismon nods his head before turning around.
"You can count on me sir!" Myotismon flies off. As he makes his way out of the lair, he starts to fly off, only for a sword to fly in front of him. Terrified, Myotismon lands back on the ground to see Piedmon walking towards him.
"Another go, huh?" Piedmon asks.
"Now's the best time. They're going to the worst part of the land." Myotismon says. Piedmon's eyes widen.
"Northeast or South?" He asks. The south part could be equally dangerous but only during nighttime.
"Northeast" Myotismon answers. "They're gonna die either way because of all the creepy crawlies there. With only three champion digimon, they're sure to perish." Myotismon laughs.
"That's another thing that's concerning." Piedmon sighs. Myotismon cocks an eyebrow.
"How so?"
"Have you seen those digimon? They're bound to reach ultimate soon."
"I'm sure they won't!" Myotismon disagrees. Piedmon rubs his temples and looks to Myotismon.
"Myo, you can be a real idiot. Have you seen how strong the are as champions? Darwin or Derin, whatever his name is!" Piedmon scoffs, taking a deep breath before continuing. "His digimon consists of Whispered, who was a dark general before and his burning soul is for sure going to break out of the champion level binds. Guilmon is the freshest so it might take him a little while, but you've seen the rate dragon digimon evolve. Faster than others." Piedmon sighs. "And don't get me started on the flower." Piedmon says.
"Ugh…" Myotismon shivers. "Did you see what became of Devimon too..?" he asks. Piedmon nods.
"She's a fiery soul and not to mention the daughter of another ex dark general."
"Are you trying to say I'm gonna die?" Myotismon accuses, scowling. Piedmon doesn't answer but gives an awkward grin. "Wow…really feeling the love here, Piedmon"
"You'll be fine. Just be on high alert and take what's needed, not more. Got it, batsy?" He smirks, turning to the lair's entrance.
"Got it…" Myotismon mutters. Piedmon smiles softly before heading back into the lair. "I'll show them I can defeat that pesky human" He says before flying off.
(Back to us)
It's morning now and Whispered is still trying to get a taste of the sweet sweet alcohol supply the ship has. Though, soon we are booted off the ship. As a gift, Olegmon gives me a brown satchel to help hold stuff if needed.
"Stylish" Whispered jokes. "Olegmon, you gonna turn into a fashionista like Splashmon?" He snickers. Olegmon sneers.
"At least I don't have to deal with you anymore." He says as he helps Coronamon down. "See you one day, Bright eyes." He smiles. Coronamon smiles and skips over to my side.
"Farewell, Olegmon! Happy travels and be safe!"
"Same to you matey!" He yells as the ship starts again. We all wave Olegmon off and after a few minutes of waiting on the coast, the ship is gone. I turn to face the rest of the group.
"Well guys, onwards into the woods!" I declare putting my arm up and pointing towards the woods. I start walking and everyone follows me.
"Derin?" Guilmon asks.
"What's up, Guilmon?"
"We haven't even been here for ten minutes and this place gives me the creeps." He says.
"Agreed" Lalamon says. Whispered laughs bitterly.
"You guys would turn white as a ghost if you saw the things I've seen." He brags, puffing his chest out. Coronamon sighs.
"I've seen it all too, Whispered." He smiles.
"Not as well as me though!" He stays prideful, ignoring any further comments. Coronamon chuckles as we keep walking. All of a sudden, I hear a small eep from Coronamon. I turn around and see a bat on his head as he tries desperately to shake it off. My eyes widen as reality sits in. I recognize the bat to be Myotis-
"There you are!" He yells, flying down to meet us. "Seriously, you know how long it took me to get here? Not a little bit, that's for sure!" He complains as the bat leaves Coronamon's head and flies into his cape.
"I wish a traffic jam would happen then!" I yell at him which he smirks.
"Hostile, aren't we?" He smirks. "Though if you would just give me Coronamon, everything would be nice and peaceful." He says. Coronamon backs up, looking petrified.
"As if!" I argue. "You just want to use him for evil!" I pull out my fusion loader.
"You guys should take up wrestling if you want to fight a lot." Myotismon laughs, getting ready to fight.
"Whispered! Lalamon! Guilmon! Digivolve!"
"Coronamon Whispered digivolve to…Firamon Whispered!"
"Lalamon digivolve to…Sunflowmon!"
"Guilmon digivolve to…Growlmon!"
"Fira Claw!" Whispered yells, slashing at Myotismon. Myotismon quickly jumps to avoid. He falls onto Whispered, his heel digging into his back. A roar of pain erupts from his throat.
"Exhaust Flame!" Growlmon hits Myotismon off with a blaze of fire.
"Sunshine Gun!" Sunflowmon yells, hitting Myotismon back even further. Whispered gets up and charges for Myotismon.
"Grisly Wing!" Myotismon yells as bats swarm all three of my digimon. "Crimson Lightning!" He summons the red blood whip and slashes Growlmon and Sunflowmon away. Whispered growls at the loss of support from his teammates. He flies up into the sky quickly.
"Flame Dive!" He yells, soaring down to hit Myotismon.
"Blood Punch!" Myotismon reels his fist back before meeting Whispered fiery attack with the same force. However, Myotismon overpowers Whispered, knocking him down. "I thought you all would put up more of a challenge!" He laughs mockingly. "Evil Squall!" He yells, conjuring up a dark cloud as a painful torrent of darkness is released upon them. They try blocking it but can't and are blinded from the pain. I feel a hand on my shoulder and look over to see Myotismon with Coronamon in one hand.
"Ah!" Coronamon flails but Myotismon increases his grip.
"Let him go!" I yell trying to pry him away. Myotismon shoves me away and teleports to the front again.
"Well, I must thank you all for the lovely battle. To the victor goes the spoils!" He says, holding up Coronamon right in Whispered's sight. He growls but can't move due to the painful rain. His eyes flash with sadness but quickly change to anger and resentment. He roars loudly and all the clouds and rain go away. Sunflowmon and Growlmon crouch down, trying to recover. Whispered stands strong and he roars again.
"Trying to get a job at the zoo? Quit that awful sound!" Myotismon says, turning his back to us. The ground rumbles near us, causing Myotismon to lose his balance along with mine. I fall down and when the ground stops shaking, I look up to see the light of digivolution.
"What the…" I say as my fusion loader's screen glows. I nod approvingly and hold up the device. "Whispered! Digivolve!"
"Firamon Whispered digimon to…Flaremon Whispered!" Whispered emerged from the light. He was now bipedal again with black furry skin with a longer dark blue mane. His hips and part of his chest now had armor and a blue flame ignited from his tail. His claws became sharper as he widens his stance. "Purifying Howl!" He roars, pushing Myotismon away and knocking Coronamon away from his grasp.
"Ugh! Out of all the times you digivolve, why now?!" He groans. Coronamon tries to run but Myotismon goes after him. Whispered charges at Myotismon.
"Guren Juuouha" Whispered yells, loading up a powerful flame attack from his hand. When he releases it, a lion's head made out of blue flames comes out, hitting Myotismon, right into a boulder.
"Ugh, mission abort…" He complains, going to fly away when Whispered strikes the ground really hard. The ground shakes but this time, Myotismon is able to fly away.
However, the ground doesn't stop shaking as the ground begins to crack. Coronamon runs to me but soon the ground opens up, engulfing both me, and Whispered. I blackout.
"...Ugh…what happened..?" I ask, looking down at my battered up arms before looking at Whispered, who returned to his rookie form. I try to get up but fall back down a couple times. My legs shake from the physical trauma of falling down. When I finally stand up, I walk over to Whispered, shaking him awake. He grumbles and soon wakes up.
"We fell" He bluntly says. The area is dark but for some reason, torches hang on some of the walls.
"I know…let's follow the torches. Maybe we'll find someone to help us…"
"Wait…is it just us two?!" Whispered asks frantically, looking around.
"Yep…" I admit and he starts to shake.
"I need to get back quick, the others are hurt and Coronamon will be scared. I need to get back, I need to get back!" he repeats. I shake him some more.
"Get it together! You'll be fin-" My voice stops when I hear something growling at us. "Who's there?!" I question and a figure comes forward. I look at Whispered. "You know him?" I ask. His eyes widen.
"Oh crap…"
