Episode 6: Miracles and Destiny

[lilith]

When Ryuudamon began to vanish into a strange cave, Lilith leaped from her spot on the rock and followed after him. She needed to keep these two in her line of sight. She couldn’t risk missing important pieces of information that these two idiots might find. As she came closer, she listened in with her radar-type ears. She would listen to their conversation. Meanwhile, she began to look around the area, listening, while looking on her own. If she heard any sign they might have found the eggs, she would be there in a flash.

Stopping for a moment, Lilith reached into her bag and pulled out her mirror…looking into it for a moment, she looked around again. Was there some sort of secret to finding it? Had it been as easy as just waltzing in and taking it, why would blackomnimon send her? Instead of a big brute ultimate or mega that was unlikely to be defeated. She had more brains then the other idiots he kept around, so did that mean it was some sort of puzzle? And for that matter, if this was so important to omnimon, why did he send mere rookies? This all wasn’t adding up…something had to be up..

[Kamemon]

He's so... hyper, Kamemon thought as he followed behind the Ryuudamon. Well, in all honesty, it was good that he was being quite a bit hyper. They did have a job to do after all, but still, Kamemon was much more slow-moving than Ryuudamon was, especially on this land, though Kamemon himself was quite aware of this. He was doing the best he could nonetheless.

Kamemon followed Ryuudamon into the cave. He picked up the pace as he did so, heading a bit ahead. At the end of the tunnel, he could see a magnificent glowing light. He could feel it's radiance... it was a similar feeling to something he had felt before... His body was urging him to digivolve. He shook his head quickly. No! Every ounce of this energy needs to get to Omnimon. I can't absorb any of it! He told himself stubbornly.

"Wow... Such a magnificent power is up ahead!" Kamemon said. Now that he was feeling much more energized, he began to run toward the light as quickly as he could, and it wasn't long before he was there. But rather than seeing the Digieggs of Destiny and Miracles, he saw a large tablet mounted on the wall and on it was an inscription.

"Prayer shall bring Miracles to Destiny."

[Ryudamon]

The radiance was soon felt by Ryudamon as well. There was a strange feeling to it, such a strange one, but he couldn’t put his finger on the way that it was making him feel. They were so close now, weren’t they? This sensation couldn’t possibly be being caused by something else.

The digimon shook his head back and forth as quickly as he could, attempting to regain his full attention on what they were doing. Though the energy had seemed to have had him in a daze for a few seconds, he now saw as Kamemon ran up ahead. So he ran after the creature, following along just behind him, his large feet pounding into the cave floor with each step.

And then he stopped, without warning, and came to a complete halt standing in front of the mounted tablet with the turtle-like digimon. “No eggs... What’s it mean?”

[lilith]

Suddenly, Lilith heard something as she quickly stashed away her mirror and took off in the direction of the other two. It only took her moments to catch up, as she listened in. She could feel a massive energy, pulling her in. Was this the power of the digi-eggs? So this is must be why Lord BlackOmnimon wanted it…interesting.

Walking forward, she took a look at the inscription on the tablet. “Interesting. Such an intense power, it must be the digi-eggs…” she said as she stared at the tablet for a moment. Paryer shall bring Miracles to Destiny. well, it was worth a shot.

Closing her eyes and putting her paws together, Lilith began to pray. But what she prayed for, was a secret. She wondered if that would make a difference or not. She then opened her eyes and looked towards the other two, then back at the tablet to see if it made any difference.

Within moments, a soft sound could be heard from above them, becoming louder as it descended as if from the clouds themselves. Dark blue talon clinging to the top of the tablet, the creature allowed it's white feathered wings to cover his chest before allowing them to return to a rested position upon his back. While the monsters vision was limited, he didn't not need to see them, he could sense them, feel their presence within his chamber. Three lone digimon, within such a sacred place? It was almost unheard off, but it would be interesting to hear their reasons for coming so far.

Of course, the guardian already knew the reason. There was only one thing that would bring them this far. But were they worth to take their wanted prize? So many questions, but he had the time to ask them. As long as he had been here, what else did he have to do but come up with them.

"You who have come to this place? State your reasons and play the game. For the reward is great, if it matching the desire. But you first, who are you? Might I inquire?"



The Gargoylemon lowered his face, attempting to see them with his limited vision. He could make out only small shapes, but he could see fully if he wished. His mind allowed him vision.

[Kamemon]

"What th-?"

Kamemon looked up as the cave began to shake and rumble. In only moments, he saw the ceiling begin to collapse from up above them, but luckily enough, none of the debris landed upon he nor his allies. It was most certainly a great stroke of luck that they were all okay. Still, this was quite a predicament. Descending from the sky, he saw none other than a large white Digimon: a Gargoylemon. He wasn't sure about whether or not this was a good thing.

As the digimon came down into the cave, he looked up at it. His knees were shaking and he didn't even know what to say. He couldn't speak. The words just weren't coming. What could he possibly say?

"I-I-I'm Kamemon... and we need the di-di-di-" He couldn't get the words out.

[Ryudamon]

Not in the slightest bit was he fazed by the sudden appearance of Gargoylemon. In fact, the only thing the dinosaur digimon did was stare up at the more powerful creature with curiosity-filled eyes. Now... that was a cool entrance. “A game? A game?” Ryudamon inquired. That’s right, he just learned that word and now he intended to save that for use in a casual conversation on some other day.

“The digieggs, we’re looking for the digieggs! And I’m Ryudamon,” the dinosaur digimon grinned, hoping for a nice outcome from this whole ordeal. What? The digimon, though more powerful than them, seemed nice enough. If it was a violent digimon, surely they would have known by now because those ones just seemed to be all fighting and no words. “You don’t happen to know where they are, do you?” the digimon asked, still smiling.

[lilith]

When the large, white angel type digimon appeared, Lilith felt taken aback a little, but she regained her composure rather quickly. Surely she could take on this digimon if it were to pose a problem. But she would wait and see what would happen first. She wouldn’t attack unless it did so first. She was pretending to be a ‘good guy’ after all. Good guy’s asked first, then attacked. So she needed to behave. “Hello there great Gargoylemon. We have come seeking the digieggs as a request from our great leader. Wont you aid us in our quest?” she asked as she stepped forward. Obviously Kamemon was too chicken to do anything, and she wasn’t so sure how much use Ryudamon would be. At least that one was able to speak without cowering. But he still didn’t seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed. Oh well, it would make her job easier if these two were as stupid as she perceived them to be. Lilith knew she had to wait, and get this digimon to show them the location of the digieggs. She was certain it must know where they were kept. Now it was just a waiting game.

"If you wish to find thy prize, you must pass a test set in time....For only those who heart are pure, can hold the power and not burn..."

The guardian digimon coughed as he knew very well he wasn't as young as he had been when he first started this duty. There was a time when he was quite the powerful digimon, even as a rookie. But time had a way of changing much about a person. Yet his age was only hindering somewhat, it would be unwise to try and believe that it made him completely weak. The Gargoylemon was still a protector of a valuable treasure and that meant the was well prepared for just about any situation.

"Who will be the one to take the test? For there can only be one speaker, since there is but...one question?"

[Kamemon]

Only one of them would be able to take the test... Uh-oh... and by the sound of it, it could only be one of them who had a pure heart... what did that even mean? He knew that by the sound of it, a pure heart would be someone who was completely good... but how good did they have to be. Well... I did steal Gomamon's dessert last week. Oh no! I'm eviilllllll! Kamemon thought, now cowering wildly. He could feel the sweat dropping beneath his ear. This wasn't good. He couldn't take the test!

Kamemon slowly took a step back, but after doing so, he swiftly kicked Ryuudamon a bit, just to nudge him forward. Hopefully Ryuudamon would consider taking the test. If not him, then BlackGatomon would have to take it. The only thing Kamemon knew for sure was that he was much too evil and selfish to take the test. If only he had been able to repent he'd give Gomamon his dessert back right now.
