Festivities



Smithy took his time leading everyone back to Zhuqiaomon's shrine, IT didn't help that most of the group were keeping weary eyes on the reformed Chronomon. And he was fully aware of their suspicions by the sweatdrop forming on the back of his head


RD went forward as he went up to smithy then looked down, it was obvious something bugged him. "You know that none of the other demon lords had that same attack that the demon lord of greed had. In fact I'd go as far to say that wasn't the original plan." He paused for a minute, before continuing. "think about it, by eliminating the digimon up to that point they directly undermine how many digimon the darkness can take even if he was defeated once he became healed....Honestly I don't think the demon lords wanted that" RD shrugged "Not to say that it wasn't inexcusable what they did but it was the demon lord of greed's fault, not laylamon or the darkness that was to blame here"


Smithy softly nodded his head, but otherwise never turned to look at RD "They were testing you. They were testing all of us actually. Barbamon may have been too hasty, but I think in the end it gave the Darkness exactly what it wanted. To sow hate and dismay. Some of the Demon lords knew that tilting the balance in good OR evil would have dire consequences. That's why Beelzemon, Lucemon and Leviamon choose not to take part of their plans. Barbamon was greedy, if he couldn't have you he didn't want us to have you either."


RD spat to the side "Tch, whatever" He seemed to be in a fairly rotten mood, something about the last fight set him off "I think Laylamon was being used too honestly"


Chronomon stepped forward, arching his back downward to reach Smithy and RD. "Daemon and Belphemon are the ringleaders of the Darkness. They were each given a large sum of it's power. I don't know if they're being used but they've shown no regard for the rest of their numbers. You've seen what it did to me."


RD nodded "Throwing digimon in harms way like pawns on a chessboard. In any case I need to go to one side, it's like neither the demon lords or anyone else is anything more than a piece on a gameboard, the demon lords are the major pieces and reapermon is obviously the king here.....question is.....who's the second strongest piece, the queen here?"


"Reapermon is no king." Remarked Chronomon, who created a viel of light over the group as they passed into Zhuqiaomon's domain. "He's a face and nothing more."


"if he's just a face....what's the true form of the king then?" RD asked, completely puzzled.


Chronomon shrugged his shoulders "I don't know. The only way to figure that out is to enter the dark network. I have a few theories though."


RD seemed to sit and sulk "I don't think i'm in a good enough mood, it's like all this amazing stuff happened and I was caught up in being a spectator"


Chronomon cringed when he heard that, about to try to encourage RD was interrupted when Zhuqiaomon spoke up "Everyone has a role to play. This isn't a game of chess but a game of destiny. And without any of you, the game would have been over already."


RD nodded "Yes and it looks like we're gaining the upper hand, but everything seems to be coming to a head now, why would the demon lord of laziness actually want to be the ringleader of something? He got off his lazy duff for something like this? It's strange...."


Zhuqiaomon chuckled a bit "If you want the answer to that...You should ask the spirit residing within Max."


"The spirit? What spirit?" RD looked at his own gut in confusion


Max rolled his eyes, kicking at the walls a bit "He's talking about Leo. If you let me out I'd be happy to ask him."


RD winced as he remembered how hard it was to do that, but he went about doing so anyways, coughing Max up with a bit of a groan.

Max let out a sigh of relief as he was released from RD's belly, he formed a towel from his digivice to wipe himself off of slime and saliva. "Ugh...you COULD have digested me...there's no rush." Zhuqiaomon lowered himself to meet Max at eye level, giving him a look that said he was in no mood to wait until Max hatched from a digiegg "Erm...right...lemme get right on it."

RD looked at Zhuqiaomon, sweatdropping. "You didn't have to scare him" RD said shrugging "Now that we beat them back so easily I think we have the upper hand here"


Zhuqiaomon shook his head "It wasn't my intention to scare him. I simply wanted my intentions well known."

Max took a deep breath and rubbed his chin "Now that's something new. This would have been useful before we came all this way." Max sighed and looked at everyone, making sure everyone was attentive. "According to Leo, the current Belphemon was one of the hybrid test subjects. Like Bang...or Lucemon."


"So he isn't an actual pure demon lord of laziness just a hybrid, explains how he isn't as lazy" RD said shaking his head as he thought of the possibilities to that.


Max nodded grimly. "He said that when he was selected...the guy had no sort of ambition to be good at anything. And he'd originally signed up for the program in the chance that he might not make it. He creeped Leo and the others out after the transition to Belphemon, started acting differently. Had talks of enslaving humanity and making them work for the digimon."


"Ok that's very strange, how would the transition cause that? From suicidal to wanting to do enslavement?" RD asked, getting a little freaked out there.


Inside of Max's inner world, Leo took a deep breath, hands pressed into the countertop of his bar, claws digging into the wood work. "None of us expected the sudden change in persona. It's as if aquiring the power of the demon lord of sloth gave him a new reason for living. And even my brother who'd been turned into the demon lord of Gluttony had not changed his stance...he may have been wild, but he never thought of turning on the humans."


Max shrugged his shoulders, continuing Leo's monologue outside. "The change I suppose. He felt powerless to do anything as a human. But when he grew accustomed to his new body and power his personality did a complete 180. It got so bad that the others had to lock him up."


"And yet now he's here, that's.....not a good thing" RD shook his head "Belphemon was strong but too lazy to want to do anything"


Zhuqiaomon nodded, looking grim "Now he's got all of the determination he needs. And with a human inside of him he could in theory become even stronger."


"That's so disturbing I don't even want to contemplate it" RD cringed then chuckled "Kinda reminds me of how I was before I became a dragon. my personality didn't change much but I was much more forward"


Jesse nudged Max with a shoulder and smirked "It's changed this guy. Believe me...Max was pretty timid in the village! It's refreshing seeing how becoming a digimon has changed him." That got Max blushing, trying to pull Jesse into a harmless arm lock but was pulled into a head lock himself.


RD laughed "I'm forward but only with one person at a time and you see how combative I am"


Chronomon sweatdropped "In that case I'm glad you weren't in the room when we were in battle. I don't think I could have survived a Seventh opponant."


RD blinked and looked down "True, anyways now that this is done what do we do next? We have some ideas one what this belphemon is, and why he's acting so unlike his traditional demon lord counterpart"


Max scratched the back of his head "Well...considering I made you hack up your lunch...I say we follow Scav and Kiya's idea and Celebrate. We've still got work to do but we brought Chronomon back...that's cause for celebration and right now we need something to be happy about."


RD smiled and nodded "You got that right" RD looked off to what looked to be North or Northwest, he wasn't good at compass directions but still "We need to purify the other royal knights though"


Zhuqiaomon looked over RD before laughing "You still have a day to relax. I say...we disregard tradition and hold the festivities here." Echo laughed, leaping ontop of Lyle "We'll go invite the locals." Echo took care not to jostle the digivices strapped to the feral lions forepaws.


Chronomon nodded, chuckling "Well I guess I'll make myself useful and prepare the food."


Smithy jumped in, shaking his head "I'll take care of that. You'd make everything way too big given your size. You focus on decoration." That got everyone laughing as Chronomon scratched his head.


RD seemed to be let down "But I love huge portions!" It almost sounded like he was complaining.


Smithy rolled his eyes at that "I doubt you could eat a steak the size of a Greymon. Besides I'll make more than enough food for everyone. Why don't you, Max and Jesse work on shutting down the lava flow. A Festive celebration won't be very festive if the entrance into Zhuqiaomon's shrine is shrouded in a lavafall."


RD smirked "I can eat a steak the size of a greymon easy" RD bragged before Max suddenly shoved him off to one side


Jesse helped him out, the two of them grabbing RD by the arms and carrying him off. "Alright..." Jesse sighed "Let's see...there should be a valve or switch that we can use to seal the flow of lava."


RD sighed "Honestly he underestimates my appetite" RD said irritably as he checked for the switch, running a paw along the walls.


"That's true...but hey he does have to take into account everyone else. Maybe if you asked him, he'd set one aside for you." Max mumbled, running a clawed paw across the walls, sighing "From what I know, Kiya and SD will celebrate inside their digivices. The battle wiped them out, it doesn't help that they both were thrust into a battle neither of them were prepared for."


"Yeah but they won it, and in an incredible way" RD said nodding "too bad they're celebrating in their digivices"


Max nodded, running his paws along the wall then yelped as his hand pressed a chunk of stone inward, followed by a small quake "Erm...I hope that was it. But you're right, they're a pretty incredible duo. It's a shame none of us have that kind of teamwork or coordination."


RD sighed "I never had the opportunity to work on it, closest I've come is playing certain video games"


Max sighed, nodding "Well if Uncle Smithy has his way, you'll be practicing team coordination with Blade once the tournament's over."


Jesse gave Max a small bop on the head and smiled "I wouldn't say you don't have that kind of teamwork. But we'll talk about that later..." He pointed to the mass of digimon swarming in, obviously whatever switch Max hit had worked.


RD sweatdropped "Erm are they going to be happy or made? some digimon like that lava"


Chronomon stepped over, setting a couple banners above them "The South isn't like the other regions. Where the East is pure dragons and the North are insects, This region has had only one rule and that's power...But with the second chance Scav gave me, both Zhuqiaomon and myself are going to try and change that."


RD blinked as he looked at the decorations "So this is more of a mix, I think that's cool"


Chronomon nodded, creating decorations out of pure light, It would certainly give Max and RD new ideas for their own imagination with the attribute.


"Hey Chronomon...I thought light only remained stable if in contact with the user." Max inquired, watching Chronomon work his magic.


Chronomon laughed at that before shaking his head "You've been training under your father haven't you...If you solidify it enough, it can exist without the need for attachment of it's creator."


"So we can literally create matter from light..." RD paused, thinking quietly to himself. "I did not know this"


Chronomon nodded a few times "It's how I built my sanctuary, which...from what I've heard from you guys, Reapermon ended up burning down."


Max shrugged "I wasn't involved, I was stewing in RD's gut." He joked, laughing, to which Jesse jabbed his rips with an elbow.


RD laughed "I was too distracted by attacking hoards of enemies to even see that"


Jesse nodded, sighing "After Smithy deleted Laylamon, Reaper decided to bang out...he tried following Barbamon's example and wanted to burn us alive to make his escape."


Chronomon nodded, listening calmly. "Well why don't we go greet the newcomers. I'm sure they'd like to meet the heroes of the region." He tried changing the subject to a more friendlier tone.


RD looked down, looking depressed. "Smithy, SD and Kiya did most of the work along with the Royal knights...."


Chronomon shook his head "Nonsense. If it weren't for you guys, then Laylamon, Reapermon and all of the corrupt digimon would have invaded their battle and then none of them would have been around to purify me."


RD blushed at this, seemed Chronomon wasn't going to let him stay down. "Alright but I don't think we did a lot"


Chronomon nudged RD forward, a few Elecmon stared at RD before laughing "You were the wingdramon that was fighting in the Temple weren't you?"


RD nodded "Yes, yes I was" He didn't expect the Elecmon to recognize him, given the fact that he was currently in his Dracomon body.


One of the Elecmon smirked "We have a Dracomon friend that would like to meet you. He's pretty shy, but maybe you could help him!"


RD blinked, tilting his head to the side. "He's shy? Alright i'll meet him."

Inside of their digivices, Scav sighed, pouring a glass of punch into Doru and Garurumon's drinks. Laying back in exhaustion. "We may not be joining the real festivities but we're going to celebrate our own way. Sorry that I couldn't keep you as Omnimon, Garurumon."

Garurumon had to drink his punch in a bowl, but did so gratefully. "DNA Digivolution was temporary. Had it not been for you, we would have de-digivolved after you digivolved.


Scav nodded a few times, smiling softly. "My powers as Nobeldramon are great, but the cores only alleviate the pain. Fatigue is one thing. I'm just glad we all managed to make it out of there in one piece.


Kiya nodded in agreement, keeping a connection to Scav's device through his own while relaxing with the remainder of the knights. "So what will all of you do once we go back to the west? I'm kind of curious."


Wargreymon scratched his head, smiling. "I think it's all been decided. We're going to stop hiding, and take the fight to the enemy. Even if Garurumon and myself can't become Omnimon on our own. We can still be of assistance to your group."


One elecmon got on his hindpaws and grabbed one of RD's handpaws to pull him forward, taking him to the main hall where Smithy was still preparing different assortments of food, steak, sirloin and even a few bass were already strewn on long streches of tables, a few different digimon species already drooling at the sight of the spread, a lone Dracomon stood to the side, too shy to actually go up and look alongside the other digimon


RD blinked and winced "He looks like he doesn't even want to join the crow-oh hey food!" He joined the drooling spectators for a second before realizing what he was doing to go over to the shy dracomon.


Smithy laughed, trying to keep the mass of digimon from digging into the food right away. The Dracomon sweatdropped when he spotted RD and backed up slightly "H-hello there." He managed a weak smile


RD smiled, trying to appear friendly. "Hello yourself. are you alright? You seem to be about ready to run out of here..."


The dracomon nodded a few times, sweatdropping and rubbing his arm. "W-well...my friends convinced me to come by...they said it would be fun."


RD pointed to the food and gathering of digimon "What could be more fun than this? Lots of food and lots of digimon to have fun with"


The Dracomon nodded, his stomach growling loud "Erm...Yeah...I know. I...would like to go there but I'm nervous. Besides...My appetite is a little bigger than the spread they have out currently..."


RD smirked, starting to like this mon. "So is mine but if I went to snack on the other digimon here I'd have hell to pay from both the chef and the rest of the digimon...."


The Dracomon sweatdropped, before nodding "I-I didn't think anybody else did that but me..." He blushed brightly. "But the Chef does look pretty scary..."


"He is, honestly, but he's nice enough as long as you don't annoy him" RD said shrugging "He's a weapon's maker so if you have enough bits you could get weapons from him"


Dracomon nodded a few times "Well...I do have plenty of bits. Erm...Can I ask you a question?"


RD looked at Dracomon inquisitively before nodding "Sure what is it?"


Dracomon sweatdropped "Well...How can you be so strong? I mean...I heard that it was the royal knights that saved the day but you ran right into the sanctuary without a single care in the world. I have a hard enough time just stepping out of our home and finding a bite to eat..."


"Honestly I just go out there and think that it's either a chance to prove myself or simply I focus on the task at hand, if I worried about everything else in the world this digiworld would be toast several times over!" RD said with a nod.


Dracomon nodded, sighing "I wish I could do that..." He looked over at the crowd and started scratching his claws together nervously "They do look like they're having fun..."


RD smirked and suddenly pushed dracomon toward's the crowd "Just go at your own pace but don't be afraid to let others lead you along!"


Dracomon gulped as RD started pushing him toward the crowd of digimon. He found himself caught in the crowd, then gave him an odd look for a moment then smiled, resuming their conversation, some of them even introducing themselves to Dracomon who meekly put in his 2 cents every now and then. One Elecmon jumped onto the table "When's the food gonna be ready?!" That got Smithy to throw a sirloin at the Elecmon who caught it in his mouth, the crowd of digimon carrying him like the wave.


RD burst out laughed as he went forward himself eager to try the food.


Max laughed, the others joining in as Dracomon picked up a small digi seabass and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it whole before laughing "Wow it's pretty good! Never tasted it smoked before!"


"Most digimon eat all their meat raw but it tastes much better cooked!" RD laughed as he grabbed a sirloin himself


Max picked up a Sirloin as well, stuffing it into his mouth and swallowing "I could only imagine how my life would have been if I'd been born in this world instead of the human world."

Echo pushed Max to the side to grab one of his own "You'd be one tubby Guilmon." He joked, laughing.


RD laughed then looked down "Well he also never would've met me...."


Max nodded, laughing "Well...that's true...I'd probably be terrified at being prey." He then grinned deviously to RD, picking him up and carrying him on his shoulders, this got the other digimons attention as several Elecmon started climbing over RD and one another to create a digimon totem poll.


RD blinked in surprise, to no one's surprise the tower began to lean "ugh you aren't all exactly the same weight you know!"

Max groaned, wobbling a bit while trying to maintain their weight "Hey I'm the one carrying the brunt of everyones wei-" He tilted forward and everyone flopped onto the ground, except for one Elecmon who flew right toward Dracomon, half of it's body sticking out of the dragon's mouth. "Erm...I don't think that was supposed to happen...hand anyone?" Echo laughed, pulling the Elecmon out of Dracomon's mouth


RD fell on top of both of them, if one looked closely he deliberately changed the angle of his fall so he could swallow both Echo and the Elecmon in one gulp, but he reacted as if it was an accident


Dracomon gasped, being right infront of them both before laughing at RD's slip up, watching both digimon's bulges inside his gut "Well that happened...I'd say your group is the fun one here."


RD waved his claws around frantically really overreacting "Yeah but not like this! Though it isn't unusual for me to snack on a member of our group or three"


Max smirked at that "Oh believe me he's known to do such. He's eaten every opponant of his in the tournament." He noted Dracomon's stomach growling and laughed "I've been in one stomach already today...may as well volunteer for another."


Dracomon's eyes went wide "Is he serious?!" Dracomon asked, before laughing at RD's thrashing belly


The thrashing was so bad that RD fell over, then he was zapped "I think the elecmon in there is complaining"


Max smirked, chuckling as RD fell back "Well...that's one spicy meatball then." Max decided to joke, then blinked as Dracomon climbed ontop of him and started swallowing him headfirst.


RD couldn't even stop him as Dracomon ate Max, not that he tried to. "You know for being so shy you can sure act like a pred when you want to!" Unfortunately that began to scare some of the other digimon.....RD smirked as he chased some around the room, he knew smith would deck him later but he really wanted to try hunting some unwilling prey for fun


Smithy sighed, facepawing as he watched RD chasing around some of the digimon in the room before snickering "You know...you two would make a perfect fit for Examon!" He shouted out.


Dracomon finished off Max with a bit of effort and Belched loud. then hefted up his stomach and started chasing a few of the digimon along with him. A couple of Elecmon running from RD "Ack! do all Dracomon have such a big appetite!?" he tried outrunning RD.


For all the struggling the other elecmon was doing inside of RD including frequent electric shocks he effortlessly caught the other elecmon and swallowed him down, he didn't even take his time, not caring he kept chasing the other digimon.


Smithy groaned a bit, watching both RD and Dracomon chase down the other guests. He looked at the spread of food and chuckled "At this rate I think all of the guests will be inside both of them."


One Gabumon stopped long enough to glare at Smithy "You think? Gah!" He fell forward as Dracomon caught him, swallowing him down effortlessly.


Zhuqiaomon looked amused to say the least "Let them. It looks like the Flamedramon over there is joining them." He motioned to the Flamedramon who picked up a Biyomon and shoved it into his mouth.


RD spotted this and actually somehow tackled the flamedramon down, then began eating the flamedramon slowly starting at the flamedramon's feet and then working his way up, he deliberately kept his mouth open so flamedramon could get one last look outside before being swallowed, he then belched and despite having such a distended gut was still able to run and chase after the remainder of the guests, most of whom have disappeared into his and the other dracomon's guts already


Kiya stared through the screen on Lyle's forepaw, watching the two Dracomon going to town on the digimon. "I know we're exhausted...but I think we could have had at least one of those guests...I'm pretty hungry..."


Doru laughed, sitting on his haunches and staring at RD. "Despite myself...I probably wouldn't be able to help myself either. Maybe once we recovered we can join on the fun."


Leopardmon gave Doru a pat on the head, snickering. "You try that in the west we'll have an uproar. Besides what would Were say if he saw you acting that way?"


Sighing, Dorumon sat down, rolling on his back. "He'd probably scold me for being to gluttonous and then stuffing me right in his belly for the night."


It didn't really take that long. It only took a few several minutes longer but it looked like nearly all of the party guests had dissapeared, now a mass of struggling bulges in both Dracomon and RD's stomach, the former of which Belched loudly, groaning "Okay...This WAS fun...Ugh I think I overate though..."


RD laughed as he belched loudly himself "Man those guests were good, honestly we should do that more often....but we better get the food to them, they'll get hungry"


Dracomon nodded, waddling over to the table and starting to chow down on the food there. Jesse moved to the side, with a simple plate of sirloin and nibbled into it "Wow...erm...You know...despite his shyness he's a capable pred...are you sure you two aren't related?"


RD also came over and began to scarf down food "I wasn't originally here so of course not"


Ironically enough, it wasn't Smithy that went down on RD, but his brother Lyle, who climbed onto the table and roared out "I can't believe you both scarfed down the entire guest roster! Echo and I worked hard to get those guests here." He glared down at RD and Dracomon, the latter backing up slightly nervous, then the next bit shocked him "I hadn't even got a chance to try one of them." He rolled his eyes, grabbing a plate with his teeth and walking off, tail twitching.


RD burst out laughing "Hey I can swallow you to join them if you want!"


Lyle turned around, glaring at RD "I am no prey! Just eat your food."


Smithy smirked as Lyle walked off "Never mind him. He's our younger brother but he can take things very serious. I think Scav and Kiya changed him. If it were the old him he probably would have smacked you both so hard with his paws you'd have crashed through the foundation."


RD sighed "all because he wanted one? Sounds like what a kid might do though, in any case I needed that"


Smithy shook his head "Not for that. He may joke, but he was really enjoying the festive mood. Imagine being in the same rut in the same village every day of your life. then finally having something to celebrate."


RD blinked then blushed and looked down "I guess we did wreck the party, now the party's in our stomachs Erm so now what we wait until they digest?" RD looked confused at dracomon.


Smithy smirked, taking a few empty plates and taking them to get cleaned "Well...Now the party's more managable in there I'd say." Dracomon burped loud, before nodding "Well I don't see what else we can do. Unless you're able to move around."


Smithy returned, poking both of their stomachs "You two stuffed? Or need anything else?"


RD groaned and belched very loudly "We're good, ugh I can't move"


Smithy snickered "Well then good. I can talk to you BOTH now. We can't stay in this region for much longer...afterall we'll need to be back to the west before the tournament kicks back up. Thankfully...you should be nearly done digesting by then. But I think...Dracomon should come along with us."


RD looked at Dracomon then back to Smithy. "If it's your opinion and judgement then I'm all for it"


Smithy nodded a few times "There's no garuntee we'll be able to purify Exemon. You two together could be just what we need. Think about it...your personalities wouldn't clash, not if we trained him to become a brave digimon."


Dracomon sweatdropped "Erm...me? Become brave? Do you think that's possible?"


RD laughed, nodding. "I'm pretty sure yeah. Just got to get over your shyness and you could be pretty formidable."


Dracomon looked at RD, then at Smithy then nodded "A-alright. What about my friends? They'll reform back here right?"


Zhuqiaomon hovered over, trying to look as calm and friendly as he could to the bloated dragon. "I've already got the preparations set up. They'll reform in a new world of the South."


RD smiled wide, despite Zhuqiaomon's intimidating appearance he did look like he had SOME form of compassion, or maybe it was Chronomon's presence that offered the change. "It's like that, they'll be fine"


Zhuqiaomon nodded a few times "You all best be on your way now...I'm sure you'll be giving Blade a similar treatment when you get there." Chronomon stepped behind RD and Dracomon, enveloping them in a viel of light and lifts them up effortlessly.


RD blinked as this happened, trying not to struggle too much given his current situation.


Chronomon smirked at the two of them "I'm just getting the two of you back into Growlmon's base."


Dracomon tilted his head "Y-you're not coming?"


Chronomon shook his head "My place is here. If I leave then how can anything get better here. I have to leave the fate of the digital world in your hands."


RD winced "We won't be able to move after we get to the base though, it'll take awhile to digest this" He hefted his stomach as if to make his point, groaning.


Chronomon chuckled "Your friends have digivices too don't they? Then they can carry you to the hotel when you get back."


RD blinked "Yeah yeah they did" Chronomon made a very good point, he was surprised he hadn't come up with it first.


"I'm sure it'll take you a full day to digest all of those digimon inside of you." Chronomon got them into the base, just as everyone else was filing in "Come back after you've saved the digital world. We'll have a one on one match after you've honed your skills to perfection."


RD blinked, smiling wide. "Alright then, that actually sounds like fun"


Chronomon nodded "Not many Super Ultimates in the digital world. Being offered to challenge one doesn't happen often either. I may be good, but that doesn't mean I'm any weaker. So work hard. And word of warning, the demon lords had more than one of us at their disposal."


"More then one? Who's the other one?" RD asked, concerned.


"There's two as far as I know. There's Arkadimon...which is a digimon known to devour the very data of other digimon. And the other I'm sure Scav and Kiya are well informed of. Daemon. It'd be safe to say he hasn't even come close to using even half of his true power." Chronomon added rather grimly.


RD cringed, recalling events of the past when it came to Daemon. "Whenever he's pushed his anger comes to the forefront, he once said 'I think I will destroy you!!!' when they were about to push him back into the dark ocean"


Chronomon nodded, looking up despite giving this news "We won a great victory today. I don't want to think about the horrible things I would have done had you guys not stepped in. I'll always be indebted to you and your group. Just please save this world."


RD nodded "We will. You can count on that." RD grinned, patting his gut and belching.


Chronomon nodded, setting them both down on a pair of opposite tables then created a light belt over them to keep them from falling, then stepped out. Growlmon walked in last, sighing "this has been a crazy day. So...is everyone set?" He grinned as the tube connecting to Zhuqiaimon's shrine retracted and seperated them from the structure.


"We're set and stuffed ugh" RD groaned as he rubbed his overstuffed stomach.


Smithy smirked, his brother climbing onto a nearby bed, both Scav and Kiya's digivices were strapped to his forepaws "Well what do you expect?!" Smithy laughed.

Growlmon grinned, looking at both RD and Dracomon before moving to the controls. The base shook a bit, but made it's way out of the lake of lava and started flying back to the west. "Alright next stop...Starlight city. We have a tournament to win!"

(To be continued)
