Broken Bonds. Scattered Promises. A lost of Happiness
Part 1:
The bright multicolors of the space between the verses always seemed to be the most gorgeous sight of all the places of the Digiverse. It's like witnessing the "Aurora Lights"everyday but minus the cold weather. A breathtaking sight that never ceases to bring a cheerful pearl white smile. Being the "Multiverse Hero" was the greatest joy of Solisamon's life. Exploring all kinds of digital worlds, each having it's own unique style. Meeting several digimon that Solisamon never seen before. Some being friends who had a different experience that differ them from the ones back home. Both humans and digimon alike. Unforgettable adventures with exciting thrills around every corner. Witnessing powers that were believed to be long forgotten, to be rewoken from the bonds of close friends.
A warm emotion that was once thought to never fade away. Though one event changed all that. An accident that caused the complete destruction of an entire verse.
Even now in the safety of the dorm room, Solisa could still hear the millions of haunting screams echo within her mind. Memories of an innocent verse falling due to the unstable amount of NEGATIVE ENERGY that took over it. Centuriomon had to pull Solisamon out just before the verse collapsed. Unable to save any of the inhabitants. Especially that one child who had reached out to her with pleading eyes.....
She failed them...Those digimon...Those people... That verse now all gone without a single trace. Not a single soul could have been saved....
Centuriomon urge the young oni to take some time off. Reminding her that they did all they could, but the verse was too far gone when they arrived there. That even the mightest of "Verse Heroes" could only do so much. That even with abilities such as theirs, not everyone could be saved. Centuriomon experienced a few verses collapsing from becoming FORIBBEN. The feeling of losing a great world always sticks to a mon core like an unwanted bug in their systems. Though this had been Solisamon's first time witnessing such an event. The "Verse Keeper" could not begin to imagine how that must have been through the eyes of a child. That type of horror is trult traumatizing for anyone. Let alone for a child.
Instead of taking his advice, Solisamon worked non-stop to keep as many verses from becoming FORIBBEN as possible. Going off for days on end to keep the cherished dimensional worlds safe. Pushing herself to the brink of exchaustion. Not caring to take a break for a rest or her usual past times. Spending less and less time with her brothers or friends. Only going to other digiverses to fix problems. No more visits or making any new friends.
She must take this seriously! Her lack of focus caused her to fail that verse. No more shall she let that happen!!
It did not take long to lose that treasured smile. Both emotionally and physically drained, the "Multiverse Hero" was at her limit. No matter how many she saved.....it would just be destroyed later on. Placing her in a cocoon filled with eternal negativity. Compelling her to just give into the darkness embrace. To be erased into it's welcoming void.
Solisamon got up from the bed as careful as possible. Not to wake her brothers up who were passed out cold on the bed. Giving them both one final goodbye look while whispering that she "loved them". Then she approached Hiro's computer, her diamond pattern dawned a dark black color for the very first time. From the glass window of the computer screen began to glitch while a black purplish spiral started to form in it's center. Dark threads emerged from the spiral, weaving around Solisamon arms. Not that the "Pure" digimon put up any struggle. Slowly the threads pulled her along like a puppet on a string. Entering a FORIBBEN verse means one NO LONGER possesses anymore positive emotions.
"Sorry....Solisa only a FAILURE ...Better if I disappeared..." Her eyes erased of their warm joyful teal color. Replaced by a soulless white deprived of all emotions.
Thus the threads pulled the young oni digimon into the verse which no longer bears a name, to be only labelled as "FORIBBEN". Those who enter verses such as this are only bound to be lost in the realm that holds such strong emotions of negativity. A really nightmarish terror land.
Within the spiral laid Solisamon's treasured Oni club sword. There the thin wire threads managed to do the impossible. Coiling around the sacred weapon till it shattered into pieces between the space of the verses. Thus the portal closed once and for all in the silence of the moonlight.
Hiro while sleeping away in his land of dreams. A single tear fell down his cheek. As if it was a sign that he had just lost something "precious" to him.
Centuriomon watched over several verses at all times. It was his job to ensure that the Digiverse remain safe from any outside meddling problems. Watching each verse like having thousands of mini television screens in his domain. There are times that the job seems boring, but Centuriomon couldn't ask for a better role for himself.
He was just about to power down since the verses seem to be in those rare moments of peace without ANY signs of evil interference. Then like a telepathic warning, a shock ran through his brain. His eyes widen as he could feel his core tighten.
"Kid....no..." He could sense it. That the "Pure" digimon had fallen into a very dangerous verse. "UGH!! I EXPECTED THE OTHER TWO TO FALL INTO THERE. WHY YOU?! YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BE HAVING SOME TIME OFF"
SO MUCH FOR FINALLY HAVING A PEACEFUL POWER DOWN
This was not a good thing. If the verse corrupts Solisamon, then they could use her verse traveling powers to corrupt other worlds in minutes..... No world would be safe than....
Cracks riped through the spaces as "Surges" came through. Creatures of composed out of deep negative desires and emotions. The mission of these mindless creatures is but a simple one.
DESTROY ALL IN THEIR PATH THROUGH PAIN AND SUFFERING! MAKE THEM LOSE ANY TRACE OF HOPE OR POSITIVE! ALLOW THEM TO BE HOLLOW SHELLS TO BE FED OFF FROM. CRUMBLING VERSES INTO COLORLESS VOIDS OF DESPAIR AND NEGATIVITY! NEVER TO SEE ANY LIGHT EVER!
Centuriomon summoned Pendulum immediately. He had to protect the verses no matter what. He could only hope that the heroes could somehow save the "Pure" digimon. Till he had a chance to get to them, he was going to show these "Surges" what happens when they try to mess with verses on HIS WATCH!!
"COME AT ME YOU BEASTS! AS THE "VERSE KEEPER" YOU WILL NOT GET PAST ME! I'LL FREEZE YOUR TIME WHOLE!" There the ultimate level dimension protector charged at the enemies. The full intent to keep them away from so much as touch a verse. HE KEEP THEM ALL SAFE!!!
Please may the heroes of this generation be called upon to face this disaster. He had his hands full wth keeping surges at bay.
At the group usual meet up spot which was a small cafe that serve light sweets and tasty drinks that always helped the Digi Destinies think. This meeting considered about the young "Pure" digimon in their care. How distant Solisamon had gotten lately. Now whenever one of them saw her, she was either leaving or getting back from a verse. Eating something after not coming home. That or sleeping to recover from the exchaustion she must feel from countless verses that she helped.
Being her Tamer and older brother figure. Hiro was the one with the most concern out of the group. Somewhere inside his heart, he felt as if something was happening yet unsure about how to approach it. Gulus also felt as if Solisamon had changed recently. Seems like "Lil Yin Light" had a behavior adjustment that is causing her to push others away.
If only she could tell them what had happened.... She knew that she could tell them anything right? They were there for one another.....
"Think a digimon is responsible? I mean there are some that influence behavior right?" Kiyoshiro remebered he experienced something like that when Baalmon took his knowledge. He got all grouchy and mean.
"I would have sensed that. I am her opposite but our CREATOR made it so if something happens to us, we are at least alerted" Gulus spoke through Gammamon while chomping down on a double chocolate donut.
"It could be another verse that did this. We know that you two are connected but even that has it's limits. If the verse is far from our own, you can't sense her" Hanuel reminds before taking a sip of the ginger and honey tea that the waitress reccomended to them.
"True though Gulus would have sense it the moment she came back. The only way to find out is if we ask her ourselves. Communication is the key to a good team. Without it then we fall apart and become distrustful of each other." Mei remembered that lesson from the moment she joined Team Lirurun. Ever since she tried to be more opened to her friends.
"Solisamon...." Hiro needed to help her. He could not bear that frown tired expression that she beared anymore.
Just seeing that expression on her face was too much for him to bear. Where had her sweet smile go? JUST WHAT HAPPENED TO CHANGE HER SO MUCH?!!
All he wanted more than anything was to see her cute smile and give her one of the biggest hugs ever!
Then as if the heavens heard his call, his VR bracelet glew. The other four mimicked Hiro's while a black and purplish portal opened before them.
"WHAT THE?!" Kiyo backed up before hiding behind his chair. He still had a long way till these random occurrences no longer scared him.
"A portal?" Shiramon tilted her head in confusion. "How? Solisamon isn't here"
Hanuel got out their taser that Blues had recently modified to extend like a whip to attack enemies from long range. That way if they were ambushed then at least they could defend themselves. Mei got into a stance beside them. She readied a DigiSoul to combat whatever decided that wanted to invade their verse.
Angoramon when in front of Ruli to protect her. Her protector who never failed to keep her safe to the best of his abilities. Though he had to cover his ears at the sounds of agonizing screams coming from the portal. Pain and screeches of souls in suffering that he could not ever fathom. Pleads for help mixed into horror cries of lost and minds falling into a twister of madness. What is this?! Were all these souls going through so much torment that he was on his knees from their powerful cries.
Solisamon.....? Could this be what she hears everytime that she goes to a verse? He never thought that all this time....That was what she dealt with beforehand....How she can always smile afterwards is amazing.
Hiro expected Solisamon to step out. Mainly since Solisamon disappeared before the two of them got up this morning. Odd though he simply assumed it was due to her recent behavior and planned a talk once she returned. Though he felt as his spirit got deleted when he saw what was in the portal. He reached out to grab the broken hilt of an all too familiar sword. His legs betrayed him as he collapsed on his knees, still trying to comprehend his situation.
Gammamon gasped. His yellow orbs filled with tears at the sight of his little sister sword broken. He sniffled as he gathered the pieces. Trying to not hurt himself from the shard metal shards. Keeping postitive thoughts to prevent the negative ones from overwhelming his mind.
Barely able to keep Gulus from coming out, the dark evo roaring so much to destroy all in that verse who dares hurt "Lil Yin Light". Ready to go full beast mode to full annihilate that whole verse in his mega form. Knowing full well that Hiro would allow him to do so for once.
"Is that her sword?! How?" Pumpmon remembered that Solisamon stated that nothing could break her sword. Seeing many of times fot that fact to be true.
"If the sword is broken then we need help her! This portal already has the vibes of something that spells out trouble. Let's save her before our theories come true" Mei insisted to which the others agreed.
Hiro however did not move. His body had been encased in the invisible frost known as shock. His face had a pastered face of horror where it great a sickly pale with sweat falling like rapid raindrops from a heavy storm. He wanted to throw up with how vile feeling of dread planted itself in his stomach and made him ill with worry.
"Hiro?" Ruli kneel down beside him as she tried to snap him out of whatever trance his brain was under. Her voice fell upon deaf ears since Hiro did not react at all.
"Hiro....." Gammamon teared up as he went to his big brother side, the sword shards collected in his small arms.
"Come on and get up! We are wasting time! SOLISAMON NEEDS US! " Those three simple words did the trick as Hiro rose to his feet. Determination rekindled within his eyes.
That's right! He was Solisamon big brother! Whenever a younger sibling is in trouble then the older sibling always steps in to save them! Solisamon never hesitated in helping anyone if they needed it. Seeking the help or not, that young digimon never could turn away the cries for help.
Now it was their turn to return the favor to the "Multiverse Hero that keeps all digital worlds safe.
Hiro took the pieces of the Oni club sword and put them in the bag he used to carry Gammamon around in. Something was telling that they were going to need it. Then scooping Gammamon in his arms, he dashed into the portal at lightning speed.
"Wait for us! This kid is going to make me get a gray hair before I even reach adulthood" Hanuel groaned before rushing in after Hiro. His surrogate son really did keep him on his toes.
The others followed while completely ignoring the eerie feeling that this may be one of their most verse mission yet. If not careful then it may in fact be their Last....
Usually the portals were like a cyber tube that they floated in while it transported them to the destination. Though it seem to lose that unique magic as they walked down a seemingly shut down tunnel. It had no color or the usual sounds of digits moving around to maintain the portal stability. The portal state only made them more weary about the type of Digital World where they lost their friend in.
"This looks quite similar to what would have happened to our home if anything were to cause it to suddenly shut down" Bokomon prayed that the disaster would never come to light.
"Looks like Solisamon finally rubbed off on Hiro getting into these situations" Mei mentally thought to herself. Knowing that it is best not to say such a thing in these matters.
They made it half way to find Centuriomon fighting some strange black creatures. One was in a struggle to take Pendulum away so that he would have no weapon. Another one came from behind him and ripped off his mechanical arm. Centuriomon just kicked the Surge behind him with his goat leg till it dissipated into mall maggots that bubbled away.
"AAAAAAAAH! WHAT ARE THESE THINGS?!" Kiyo yelled while his heart beat in a terror filled melody. How does this group keep getting involved into these times of situations.
Centuriomon managed to defeat the two strange creatures that he was fighting against. He walked up to his mechnical arm before it reattached itself with it's special nanobot repair system. He looked tired before his gaze fell upon the heroes who entered his area.
As the "Verse Keeper", Centuriomon resides in an area that is in the center of all the digiverses. It is called "Keskusta". A verse the CREATOR GOD who goes by "Milady" made it so Centuriomon could monitor the verses. A small domain that has a small living quarters with crystal holoscreens covering the area like large television screens. Centuriomon home within the sea of verses, there Surges were invading it.
"Better late than never. Look I know you all have questions about what you saw. Though now is not the time! Solisamon doesn't have much time!" He tapped Pendulum on the ground before a black purplish spiral appeared. Taking much of his energy in his weaken state to do something that rarely took much of an effort in his normal state.
"What about you?" Shiramon asked. Debating whether it was the best idea to leave Centuriomon in his current state..
"If Solisamon isn't saved.....ALL THE VERSES WILL BE IN DANGER! SAVE HER!!! Just...save that kid please..." Centuriomon insisted before getting ready to fight the "Surges" that would come soon.
Centuriomon always wears a hard expression since he takes his duty as the "Verse Keeper" with the utmost seriousness, rarely taking breaks as a result. Till Solisamon brought a bit more happiness. Being the two digimon who travel through the sea of digiverses. The two were complete strangers towards each other. Over time, they started to get to know one another and later became good friends. Centuriomon hardly ever asks for anything.....though just this once, he'll make this sole wish.
Please hear my sole wish, Milady.....Solisamon has done so much for the verses. Allow her friends and brothers to rescue her before that PURE light is snuffed out for good and deleted forever.....please save his "Best Friend"..
The portal was like no other they had encountered before. Each step inside filled their bodies with a cold feeling of dread. Like a solitude of nothing but sorrow and hatred. Everything seemed to mimic a blizzard state of endless winter. Made them all miss the zero gravity within the portals that allowed them to float to their destination.
"Was it really a good idea to let him face those creatures alone?" Shiramon rubbed her arm uneasy. Hating the fact that they could have brought aid to the guardian.
"I know how you feel, Shira. Though Solisamon needs us! Those "THINGS" maybe be linked to whatever happened to her. Rescuing her takes priority" Mei assured her partner. Deep within her heart she understood such worries.
Hiro said nothing as the group walked down the portal which nevered seemed to end. His mind bumbling with questions that only enhanced his worries. Solisamon behavior had been a key sign that something amiss yet he turned a blind eye to it. Now for all he knew....She could be a digitama all because he didn't check up on her.
"You thing those thoughts will help? Listen child and listen well. Never assume till you have an ABSOLUTE certain answer" The mysterious voice spoke while causing a near unbearable headache to form.
It held truth in it's words though. Solisamon is fine!
She is stronger than she looks! She'll be okay when he gets there! She has to be......for his sake and her own.
***************************************************************
Within a dark purplish crystal, the sounds of ramming and the banging of fists could be heard. There Solisamon using all of her strength, attempted to break the diamond hard walls of the crystal she got trapped in.
"LET ME OUT!" She roared before trying to headbutt her way out. All that resulted in was a sore bump that would take several weeks to go down.
"Why even bother to leave? You always fail in end" There it was again. Her own inner voice which had been brought to life was mocking her yet again.
"I no fail! You tricked Solisamon into coming here!" She couldn't have opened a portal on her own right? This all must be a trick of another digimon!!
"You are the only one who could come here. You have the rare power to come to other verses. Don't you recognize this place? The buildings? The sky was once a faint pine green which held a smell of flora. Though hard to believe that it could be anything now" No....no...no...this couldn't be THAT PLACE.
Solisamon had been so busy trying to break out that she couldn't sense it. Though it was a faint as a whisper, it was indeed the verse that she had failed to save with Centuriomon. Solisamon paled as her eyes frantically trembled at the shocking truth.
"You did FAIL this verse. You FAILED to keep it save as the CREATOR GOD made you to do so. Billions of lives gone because YOU couldn't do ANYTHING! No matter how many you save or how many verses see you as the dear "Hero". We both know that it is only a disappointment behind that title" The voice spat at those venomous words that made seeds of doubt start to sprout in the young oni child mind.
Those sprouts planted themselves deep within the six entities only known as the evolutions that Solisamon didn't know rested within her code.Tainting their minds while trapping their true selves in webs that couldn't be broken out of. ERRORS were the only fitting title to what necame of them.
"No....I...I..." Distracted by the dishearting news, Solisamon did not notice the six lights leaving her body and taking form.
"Hehe~ Alright ladies. We have some guests coming and we are to greet them. Remember to have fun before we destroy them in the glorious darkness" A familiar figure spoke to the other five who seemed quite pleased.
***************************************************************
"UGH!! HOW LONG IS THIS PORTAL TUNNEL?!!" Jellymon yelled. Frustrated at how long they walked in without making much progress.
"For once, I agree with Jellymon. At this rate...we may never get to the verse where Solisamon is" Shiramon was also starting to get ticked off too.
Soon the tunnel started to shake like a tremor from a level five earthquake. Causing the tunnel to collapse which made the tunnel to become a slope slide. The heroes were then forced to tumble to the other side which they were struggling to reach.
Upon entering the portal to the mysterious verse, the group fell from the sky which seemed to be nothing a gray lifeless sea of dark clouds. Digimon holding their partners tight since those who could fly had those abilities taken away. Like a mysterious force in the atmosphere disable that power from their code.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Kiyo screams could have bursted his fellow teammates eardrums. God....his girly scream can shatter glass at how high it is.
It probably doesn't help that were all falling in different directions. Can things go anymore WRONG?!!!
Hiro could barely keep his eyes opened from falling from such an altitude, but he did managed to see something even if it's blurry.
Five lights appeared out of no where and raced towards where his friends were falling to. The sudden fall had separeted Pumpmon from Hanuel. Each member would be in an area a great distance from another.
Kiyo and Jellymon would be flung into the sea area of this verse. If the water could even be labelled as water with how polluted it was. The murky black water looked to be made of oil as thick as mud. Buildings completely submerged in the dark tainted liquid which seem to be surrounded by even darker clouds. A dark blue light dove deep in water for a possible confrontation.
Ruli and Angoramon fell into a city district that look like it had fallen into ruin. The level of destruction inflicted upon it looked as if a war had broken out beforehand. Rubble of buildings and chunks street errupted into plates with looked like broken pieces of crackers. The faint smell burning concrete could sensed. There a illuminous orb rushed towards the two like a speeding bullet. The light mimicked the glow that the celestial stars give off every night, only it seemed more like one ready to explode and be reborn.
Those lights seemed familiar yet the aura seemed to belong to completely different people or digimon. Who were they?
Mei and Shiramon landed within a forest covered in a bittercold frost that show seemed to forever fall. The trees were withered with black leaves which were so brittled that they crumble at the touch. Blankets of snow that could give one frostbite with a single step. The snow flurries made seeing beyond a certain point impossible. There a white light covered in black thorn vines planted itself in the center. Something that was not ECO-FRIENDLY would encounter them soon. Something terrible lie hidden within the snow like a seedling in the ground.
Pumpmon landed in a garden like area that actually still life with colorful flora and luscious green grass. Clouds were a lighter shade that the rest of verse. The only place that seem to still hold life in this twisted world. Though luck wouldn't be on their Halloween digimon side for long. Mainly because the light with black particles was descending to his location. Anything making contact with the particles grew rapidly sick and wilted away to their death. Pumpmon needs to be careful before he becomes a pile of pumkin mush.
Hanuel and Bokomon seemed to land in a cemetery like area filled with rows upon rows of tombstones. Thousands if not Millions of lives lost, now slumber in their FINAL RESTING PLACE. The air inside was so tense that it felt like breathing toxic smog. Despite the two being the possible only living beings there....it felt as if there were eyes everywhere. The light which held the crimson of death watched them from above. Like a predator stalking their prey in the darkness.
Leaving Hiro to fall to the center of the verse along side Gammamon. There only a large structure stood among the crumbling ruins of the buildings that once surrounded it. Now it was a ghostly city were the only destination could be the tall building that must be hundreds of floors in height.
"Solisamon......Hang in there. We are coming for you" Hiro mentally promised as he begain to explore the area. Ignlring the feeling of eyes watching him from an unknown location.
***************************************************************
Solisamon continued to pound against the crystal wall of her prison. Though it seems the doubt in her mind is slowly taking it's toll on her. Her strikes were not as powerful as went she first started her resistance. In fact, little by little her eyes lose more hope of escaping. Tiny cracks start to appear in her horns while her pink fur begins to lose it's pink color and become a dull gray color.
"Must...get out...." Her mind wants to leave the prison. Sadly it's starting to fade on the reason for leaving to begin with.
This place is NOT her home though she can not recall the name of her home. A strong desire to go there exists along with images of her family and friends. How much longer can she continue before she starts forgetting them too?
Please.....someone....save...her...soon......Brothers.....please....
************************************
The ocean which held a dark tint of black and all that touched it would be trapped in the sticky oil residue of what used to be crystal blue water. Any aquatic life that could have lived inside was now dead. Awaiting to rot away while bones would soon manifest in it's place.
Kiyoshiro had luck on his side since the two landed on the one building structure that had not fully submerged. Judging from the looks of things, it seemed to be one of the finer office buildings for major corporations. Leather chairs stationed at the fine polished desks that had only the finest laptops available for employees.
"Ugh....." Kiyoshiro rubbed his sore head. Questioning how not only did he survive such a fall, but to also not endure a single injurying in the process.
"Darling!" Jellymon looked to her tamer. Relief could be showfor he was not hurt in the slightest.
"Are you okay Jellymon sama?" He knew that digimon recovered fast compared to the humans. Checking his digimon well being was what a good Dorm Leader does.
"It take more than that to hurt me" She boasted proudly. "Seems that we got separated from the others though...." She DID NOT like this at all.
"AHH! My phone!!" Trying to get in contact with the others would be close to impossible now. The two broken halves of his cellphone made that crystal clear to him.
Jellymon left hers at home since she doubted she would need it. Now she was deeply regretting such a foolish decision.
"Seems like two small fish are in my sea of DESPAIR. Tell me....do you think you can win?" A voice startled them to their feet as a figure emerged from the water below.
"Wait is that...?!" Jellymon looked at the figure in shock.
Standing on the tainted water surface was none other than Asitamon. Seems like they may have been worried for nothing. She seemed alright.
"Asitamon! Thank goodness you're okay! We were worried that sometjing happened to you" It seem to ease his heart that the youngest member was alright.
"......"Asitamon looked at them without a trace of emotion on her face. It was then the two saw the lifeless white orbs instead of her teal ones.
Something was wrong.....
"Tossico Bombolla!" Placing two fingers to her mouth, she released a stream of toxic bubbles that were aimed towards her two supposed friends.
Had Jellymon not moved Kiyo out of the way in time.....They would have surely not survived the onslaught of explosions.
"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!! IT'S YOUR FRIENDS! ASITAMON DON'T YOU RECOGNIZE US?!" Jellymon looked ready to shock the water evo back to her senses. HOW DARE SHE ATTACK THEM?!
"Friends? That word used to bring such joy to my heart. Now all it can feel is pain fueled by despair......How can I give you such a title when it made me become this...." She moved a bit closer to the two. Her new appearance shocked them.
Her hair was downward long and spikey like a sea urchin. Her fur was no longer a light shade of the ocean blue but a darker shade like the depths of the ocean itself. Her horns had tiny cracks and seemed to release some type of negative energy. She wore a kelp green tank top made from the seaweed that now is pure toxic from the pollution. Ripped jeans made from some type of undersea cloth had barnacles with mimicked metal spikes. Her soulless white eyes only made her look as if she was a former shell of the once proud "Water Champion" who never seemed anything but happy. The diamond pattern all but erased while the symbol for forbidden replaced it. Her tail tips were now two twin trident heads.
OH DEAR KAMI......SHE HAS GONE TO THE DARK SIDE!!!!!
"W-what happened to you....? Asitamon....." The mentioning of her name seemed to annoy her very much.
"I fell into DESPAIR. I am no longer a "Pure" digimon who used the waters to protect those in need. No longer to I desire anything but to flood hopes into the endless sea of destruction. I am Tethysmon now. An ERROR digimon who now bares a role of a fallen hero" The lifeless tone in her voice was almost too unbearable to listen too.
"Asitamon.....You can't just give up!" Kiyoshiro insisted. "We are here to help you be your true self again"
Help?
"Now you wish to help? Tell me something. When Solisamon seemed to show signs of crying or looked as if she had been struggling, why didn't you help then?' That question made the two freeze in place.
Faint recollections of seeing Solisamon with dried tear marks flashed in their minds.
"I....I..." Kiyoshiro hadn't thought that the most cheerful and youngest member could be suffering this badily.
He should have been more willing to ask her about it. Prehaps if he had done so then it would not have lead to the situation they were in now.
"Do you know how much pain she was in? How much she struggled against her daily battles against DESPAIR? Bottled to the point were she drown in her own sorrow?! HOW CAN FRIENDS LET ONE GO THROUGH SUCH SUFFERING ALONE?! TELL ME HOW!!" Her anger had caused the waters to become more vicious. Ready to unleash the full fury of the ocean upon them.
How much could one bottle up to have a dark sea represent it?
"Asita...." Jellymon wished she could give her friend a hug, though it seemed like Tethysmon would sink her if she tried.
"Digivolve and face me. If you really want to make things right than sink and drown into the deepest depths of the sea floor!" Looks like the only option they had would be to fight.
Asitamon much still be in there somewhere. They would bring her back! Then they get her help for all this emotional pain that she was going through.
Kiyoshiro and Jellymon shared a glance before nodding to one another. The VR bracelet meter filled up one time to trigger the mollusk digimon evolution.
"Jellymon digivolve to......!!" From then digital evolutionary cocoon forged from the partnership between a digimon and human bond.
"Telsajellymon!!" Electricity crackled behind her as the fighting champion made her debut.
It was then that Tethysmon began to sing a song while the two were locked in the heated battle.
"🎶You turn your backs to her. Feelings matter little to wave. Saying she's strong and can smile away the pain🎶"
"🎶Though now the tides have changed. The positivity becomes a tsunami of PAIN🎶"
"NEGATIVITY has won and Despair shall rain. Echoes and screams forever haunt our brains!🎶"
"🎶Hiding from terror despite being Dorm Leader, oh you're a coward! You are a Disgrace🎶"
"🎶Cowering before like the scaredy cat you are. Letting her suffer from all the pressures in vain🎶"
"🎶I'LL ERASE YOUR EXISTENCE WITH FLOODS. NOT A SINGLE FEEL OF FRIENDLY LOVE. YOU PUT HER THROUGH SUCH EMOTIONAL PAIN🎶"
"🎶DROWNING YOU IN DESPAIR FOR YOU TWO DID NOT CARE! ALL THE TEARS THAT HAD BEEN SHED, WOULDN'T LIFT YOUR HEADS🎶"
"🎶HOPED YOU SAID YOUR GOODBYES. DON'T BOTHER TO CRY, FOR THIS OCEAN SHALL MARK YOUR DEMISE🎶"
"🎶MARK YOUR DEMISE!!!! Be washed in the sea grave🎶"
Telsajellymon may have the advantage in typing with her electricity, though the swift water attacks prevented her from landing a single hit.
Worse is that she couldn't bting herself to attack at all. All she could see before her was the face of Asitamon smiling back at her.
"Let's talk this out! I know you're hurting but becoming something you never were meant to be won't stop your pain! Please....Asita. I know you're in there....come out "Sea Sister" " Jellymon pleaded in hopes that somewhere deep inside the ERROR...that a small portion of Asitamon was still in there.
"You waste you words... Though don't worry" Her next sentence sent a chilling feeling of horror within them.
"Very soon after you all are eliminated. The verse will slowly start to consume other verses. The moment the child gives in that is"
Solisamon....NO! THEY HAVE TO SAVE HER! THEY WOULD SAVE THE BOTH OF THEM. IT WAS A PROMISE!!
************************************
Ruli and Angoramon walked around the ruins of the former district that buildings were falling apart like they were unstable piles of dust.
"What could have happened here? This place is like a war that only seeked the outcome of destruction...." Ruli looked at the buildings that must have house families at one time.
Now all that remained of this area were streets covered in glass of the former windows. Sturdy structure walls were now reduced to pieces of concrete smashed with no way to be repaired. Broken signs of shops scattered about the streets before them. Like a once gorgeous image had been burned to ashes of destruction.
Never to recall the picture of what the verse used to be. That image would forever be gone and would never have a chance to come back.
"Hm..." Angoramon ears moved slightly from picking up a sound. He the grabbed Ruli and jumped out of the way of some sort of blast.
"Are we under attack?" This was the absolute last thing that they needed right now!
Somewhere out there, Solisamon was probably suffering. Here they are being attacked by who knows who!
"WOW! You really do have good hearing! You managed to dodge my "Crux Hydra" like it was nothing! A voice could be heard a few feet behind them. "Granted that I never hit anything that wasn't moving so far"
That voice... Angoramon recognized it but why would she try to attack them?
"Nuwamon, why would you-" He turned to face his friend but realized that something was wrong with her.
She had changed into something the utter OPPOSITE of "Pure". Just seeing her new form made his face gasps in horror.
"Nuwamon...? What happened to you?" Ruli took a step back at the new appearance of Nuwamon.
She was in her dragon form but it had been altered to take on a darker form. Her scales now bared the color which would make one thing of a blackhole. A vast of dark space with small clusters of stars sparkling in a few of her scales. Her hair was now much shorter than how it was. Once long and flowing, now short with a sort of a comet style look. Her four horns had nebula spiral designs which oozed out a type of dark energy. Almost as a means of displaying her dark appearance. Teal orbs that were filled with endless excitement were now white with a form of twisted joy.
The joy that only is seen on the face of one who casts aside their sanity for a sense of madness.
Her wings that illuminate like the beautiful lights in the night sky had now become solar flares rocketing through space. Claws and fangs were now doubled in size to show the true essence of a dragon digimon resided within her code
"Sorry to disappoint you but I go by Belamon now" She giggled while she spun around. "Like my playground? I had such a fun time DESTROYING it" Did they just hear just hear her alright?
Nuwamon who was gifted the title of "Demi Creator"that could have no limit to what she wanted to create, just stated that she destroyed this area....
This has got to be some form of a VERY twisted joke......It must be.
"Nuwamon-" Ruli tried to talk to her friend but the Dragon Oni digimon cut her off before she could start.
"Belamon! Literally just told ya that. You really don't listen huh?" Belamon frowned at how rude the girl was being towards her.
When someone tells one their name. It is only polite to address them by it. To call them anything but that is kind of insulting.
"Why would you destroy this place? You would NEVER destroy any creation. To you the "Creations" were precious treasures" Angoramon reminded. Hoping that it would help snap her out of whatever spell she was under.
"Why bother anymore with creations? At the end of the day, they get BROKEN, SHATTER, and ABANDONED without anyone truly caring. Tell me Ruli. Angoramon. When was the last time you saw Solisamon create any of her beautiful art? She used to be ever so happy till she stopped. Funny how the digimon with the keen ears couldn't hear a child wails of suffering. Day by day, she was SELF DESTRUCTING and you never tried to help" Belamon twisted happy expression seemed to shift into one of joy kill rage.
Ruli tried to recall the last time that Solisamon showed her the art she loved to do in her free moments. The last drawing had been so long ago that Ruli couldn't remember.
Angoramon was in the same boat. He had the most keen sense of hearing but.......he failed to use it when it mattered the most.
Could Solisamon have turned to destroying herself because she believed that no one cared about her?
She had to know that it was not true. They loved her like the adorable little sister the team ever had. A little sister that they WOULD save and proved that they are at her side always.
Ruli and Angoramon shared a look which expressed their shared thought.
Evolution time! The only thing that could snap Belamon back to her good ol' Nuwamon self!
"Angoramon digivolve to......Symbareangoramon!" Evolving to his champion form, Symbareangoramon was now ready to fight Belamon on equal terms.
"Yes! Yes! YESSSSSS! I finally get to destroy two living creatures! A human born as a creation of the human realm. A digimon born from a digitama of the digital world! With your defeats, a new era of destruction shall rain upon the verses!" Belamon laughed happily before engaging Symbareangoramon with a few more blasts of "Crux Hydra"
The fight of long distance and close range combat had become as destructive as the area surrounding them. Somewhere within the chaos, Belamon started to break into a melody that she made.
A melody that spelled nothing expected their annihilation in her own lyrics.
"🎶Got a strong sense of hearing but you NEVER hear her cries. What are blind with those bangs over your eyes?🎶"
"🎶Once I was happy with endless glee. Though my stars have fallen DISAPPOINTMENT on to me🎶"
"🎶All my creativity now a need for destruction. Time to demolish you with a "Solar Flare Eruption"🎶"
"🎶No longer a creator. All I desire is to destroy. Come be a target, you overgrown plush toy🎶"
"🎶Ripping you apart bit by bit. My fangs shredding you into dust. Hurting with a new level of pain. Just gets me to wonder how well you would taste🎶"
"🎶This dragon is straving for chaos and screams. Oh how filling the two of you will be🎶"
"🎶Come now. Time for some CHAOTIC DESTROYER FUN!!!🎶"
"🎶Come on! Let's play🎶"
"🎶No need to be shy🎶"
"🎶For in a few moments you'll be a pile of dust before my eyes. Better start running cuz you will only have till the count of five🎶"
Talk about a HEAD SPLITTING song. Though that would not deter them from their goal of rescuing their friend.
************************************
"Why do you keep fighting when deep down, you know you don't matter to them" Solisamon's inner voice spoke up again while Solisamon banged on the crystal walls yet again.
"Solisamon will get...back to friend....is her duty to help those who....need it" The effect of the verse slowly zapping her strength while she tried to break free.
"Help? I don't a digimon that couldn't save at least one soul of this place has the right to be worthy of "Multiverse Hero". You couldn't save ANYONE. Almost the same as letting them die by doing nothing" The inner voices taunts.
Solisamon paused. The face of the young girl trying to reach out to her. The one whose eyes desperately begged for Solisamon to save.....She failed the last wish of that child.....
Solisamon eyes grew even more dull as her pounds on the walls were getting much lighter.More of her pink fur started to become the lifeless gray color. Her strength being taking snd Solisamon was losing the will to fight.
Home.....it seemed like a familiar to her. Though soon the thought alongside the memory behind it started to be erased as if it never existed.
The young oni child would fade sooner rather than later. Pretty soon Solisamon would give herself to this verse. Using the child's power to spread forth it's evil negativity till all verses became nothing except for FORBIDDEN!!
Solisamon closed her eyes while she still when on with her protests. She may be growing weaker but it would seem that she isn't ready to throw in the towel quite.
One thing about digimon paired with human partners. They can be known as the MOST STUBBORN digimon of all time.
Hopefully Solisamon could hold out until someone could rescue her.
************************************
Mei and Shiramon wondered the forest that seemed to be stuck in the winter wonderland with a blizzard that made it more nightmarish. The creeking of the withering trees seem to be voices of lost souls that surrenderes to the harsh cold climate. The more they progressed in the land of snow, the more the weather seemed to slowly take away their energy.
Well at least for Shiramon case. Mei seemingly immune to cold no matter how brutal it seemed. HOW CAN A HUMAN SURVIVE CLIMATES WHICH EVEN A DIGIMON IS STRUGGLING TO.
"Brrrr....Of all the l-luck....Why did we get the forest that's stuck in the ICE AGE?!" Shiramon shivering while she rubbed her shoulders to circulate warm.
What is the point of being covered in a fur coat if it does NOTHING?!
"This forest....it seems to be in between a state of slumber and death" Mei looked to the trees that were once thriving with life compared to the state they were in now.
"T-this cold feels unnatural.....Like a force is manipulating the cold to be much m-m-more brutal compared to natural forces" Shiramon spoke through her chattering teeth. Where was Angoramon for a nice warm hug?!
"You are really that cold?" This is coming from the girl wearing short jean pants and an orange short shelved shirt. Mei must be the only human in history with such a frightening resistance to cold.
"YES! Be n-nice if you gave a little of that warmth here" Seriously a hug couldn't be that much trouble...
Mei let out a sigh before spreading out her arms. Wait...She was going to give a hug? MEI WOULD HUG HER TO PROVIDE WARMTH?
Could the hypothermia be making her see things? This verse has made the unbelievable happening....
Shiramon gladly accepted the hug though since Mei was insanely warm.
"Are you two done being all friendly? Watching such a display of affection is such a drag. Why show happiness when all your roads will lead to your demise?" A figure could be seen as a blur within the snow flurries.
Could Shiramon be imagining things or did that sound like....?
"Varismon?" Shiramon looked so happy to see that her friend was okay.
Just as she was ready to go greet her, Mei stopped her. Something seemed off.
The only way that Solisamon can digivolve into Varismon is with the help of Hiro. Varismon also despites cold weather since she prefers to be surrounded in nature in it's full bloom. The fact that her tone resembles that of someone more moddy than angry was another warning bell.
"It's not her" Mei eyes narrowed as Shiramon gasped.
"Seems like you aren't as naive as the others were. Yes, I not Varismon. That was the name of my formerself before the FORIBBEN verse changed me to serve the cause of spreading dectruction and sorrow. The ERROR attribute champion of gravely cold winters and thorns of death. I am Marzannamon now" The flurries cleared the way so the girls could see the transformation of their friend.
It was NOT a pleasant sight to behold either.
Her short hair was the color of fresh powder snow in two interwoven spiral buns which held a familiar as snowflakes. Light brown fur had been changed into darker shade that resembled a dying color. White orbs looked at them with an expression as cold as ice. Her horns stuck out like plant spikes that spew out a pollen mist, a mist that held a bad aura about it. Around her neck was a black vine chocker with the sharpest thorns surrounding the outside. Matching vine wristbands match the look. A medium shelved soft blue shirt covered by a black vest with thorns on the shoulders. She wore a short black skirt where her legs were completely cover in thorn covered vines that bares a frost color. Her tails were much like the black thorn vines that she seemed to be in control of.
DID THIS VERSE MAKE GOTHIC FORMS OF EVOS?! Bokomon isn't letting Herissmon come here.....
"You....changed....The light within you is fading away" The heartbreak could be hears in Shiramon voice. The shivering winter atmosphere now a lost thought.
"The light has been extinguished the moment the child gave into the SORROW. The blizzard which now envelopes this area. How the souls face the hopeless sadness to know that this shall be the place where they meet their ends. Much how you two will soon be. Seeing how we used to be allies once, I vow to give you a truly SUB ZERO funerals. My vines will encase your bodies to have a slow and painless demise" How her voice lack the usual anger that she was known for.
"Sorrow? Solisamon never got sad to the point of this!" Shiramon refused to believe it. This was all some type of terrible mind trick.
"Shira....she has been acting off...lately...." Mei knew the signs since she had once had them herself.
Keeping her troubles to herself while pushing others away. Forcing all the burdens upon herself like she was a one person army. Solisamon was now going through the same thing. Worse is that she was handling it same way that Mei did. Bottling all up and trying to handle every problem that stands before her.
OH MY KAMI....No wonder Hanuel got so mad at Mei when she did that. Now she understands that feeling they must have felt. Gosh...She owes them so many apologizes once she gets back.
"We didn't stop this from happening but I promise that we are going to make this right!" Mei REFUSED for Solisamon to become the person that she used to be.
THEN SHE WOULD GIVE THAT YOUNG GIRL A SCOLDING WITH A TASTE OF DIGISOUL! IF SHE IS PAIN OR IS STRUGGLING THAN SHE HAS THEM TO HELP HER OUT!
.........Kind of ironic how it's Mei saying this.....
"Your efforts are futile. Seconds that pass in this very moment result in the child becoming lost. It won't be long till she forgets all of who she use to be" Marzannamon prepared for a battle that would destroy the two in her domain.
"Shiramon, it's evo time!" Mei ordered . Knowing that they would need to force Varis out!
"Ugh... why couldn't we land in a warmer climate?" The cold increase which blew in her face reminded Shiramon of the frosted chill.
"FOCUS! Solisamon needs us!" Mei VR bracelet meter filled up one time. Time for Nature to face off against the hard steel of katana blades.
"Shiramon digivolve to.... Hanshiramon!" The dual katana assassin was ready to face her opponent head on.
"Multistrike Soul!" The attack command sent to her brain allow Mei to give her partner the order.
Marzannamon made no effort in avoiding the attack. It seemed as if she could take it head on, that is till a wall of black vines protected her.
"Nothing can break though my vines. They are made up of corrupted data of this verse. Nothing can tear or destroy them. Even attempting to do such a thing would only result in your deaths" The BROKEN digimon stated before snapping her fingers. "I believe that it's my move".
It was then that vines began to manifest from the dark corrupted data below this verse earth. The vines then started to coil around the girls bodies. Slowly starting to crust their bodies. This was the move known as "Mors Espina"
"Can't be cut huh?" Hanshiramon visor flashed. Her blades glew a dark color before the vines where cut off of them. "You were saying?"
"I see. That visor helped you locate where the vines were the most vulnerable. That's how you did it" Marzannamon seemed to finally be taking thing a bit more serious then earlier.
"I can take anything you want to dish out!" No way she would lose with a dear friend at stake! FORIBBEN verse will not, she repeats WILL NOT take Solisamon away from them!!!!
While in the clash of vines and blades. Marzannamon sung a song that echoed in the winter winds.
"🎶Trap within a blizzard of snow. All that awaits is a frigid SORROW. Wilt like petals. Strangle in my vines. Left her well being beeeeeeehind🎶"
"🎶No longer my former self. BROKEN beyond repair. My only mission now is spreading SORROWFUL DESPAIR🎶"
"🎶Shocked from my change? Not really a surprise. The sorrow of the child caused my form to REALIZE🎶"
"🎶Bittercold tears make my snow. Making no attempts to warm her soul. While thorns coil around her wounded heart🎶"
"🎶Positivity dispel from my digital core. You two are truly becoming an eye sore. Why not have a taste of my corruption vines? Want to make ammends, then simply DIE!🎶"
🎶Suffered from similar pains but you didn't understand. Those PAINS poisoned her soul whil doubt echoed in her mind. Demonic taunts only double the mental toll with each tear in her eye🎶"
"🎶The flurries fly wild to signal that our battle has began. For my lack amusement, this BETTER be fun🎶"
"🎶Don't bother to flee for all escapes result in death. Only choice is to fight even if it's a hundred precent hopeless. For this clash the three of us have, shall be your very LAST!!!🎶"
"🎶May my thorns impale you before I allow you to be killed in Jack Frost's bitter winter cold. Burying you below forty meters of snow. Rest in peace for the final destination, the thorn graves are the last resting place🎶"
Seems like the song revealed her attack strategy and what would do to them if they lose. An automatic gameover.
Be strong Solisamon....Mei and Hanshiramon will rescue you!
************************************
Solisamon had to take a short rest with how exchaust she was. FORIBBEN verses such as this one were dangerous beyond normal comprehension. Like the mysterious force that transforms it,can slowly change those within into complete opposites of themselves.
Even "Pure" attribute digimon weren't safe. The negative energy taints their digicores till they become BROKEN attribute types. Servants to the verse like it were the master that brought them into it's very existence.
Hope becomes DESPAIR. Creation will become a need to cause DESTRUCTION. Happiness becomes SORROW.
Doesn't matter how must resistance one puts up since in the end all give into the verse hands. Many of reasons why FORIBBEN verses were off limits to all. Only Centuriomon could safely venture in them for a short time period.
For humans to not be effected made these children rare. Also gave another way to break the child more into simply giving up.
"You know your friends and family are here. Seems like they have come to rescue you" The inner voice words seem to bring a bit of color back to Solisamom eyes.
YES! YES! She knew that Hiro and the others would come for her. Heard that verse? Her big brothers are going to make you sorry for tricking her.
"You seem happy to put them in grave danger" If the voice had a form then they be sitting with their hands under their chins. The back of the hands making an upside down triangle.
Solisamon paused. Horror started to crawl up from her back like a large creepy spider.
"Remember what Centuriomon said? Any living creature that steps inside the FORIBBEN verse loses all positivity. I give them at least an hour before they fall to it's power. Putting them in harm's way is much to cruel. Even without trying you FAIL them. Meeting you was the worst thing to happen to them" Vemon like the snake . Words of poison water the seedlings of doubt to grow even more.
"No...No...They fine....Friends will be fine! STOP TRICKING MIND!!" The oni child screamed as she tried to fight away the tears in her eyes.
"Scream all you want. You still forced them to come here. They may get hurt or even die because you were not worthy of being given a "Hero" title" Solisamon wanted to ignore her words but they seem to make more sense.
She had opened a portal here. The verse she had failed to save was now punishing her for all the innocent souls which she failed to protect. Maybe she should give in.....The verse msy spare the others if she ju-
"Solisamon. From this day on, you are my digimon partner and little sister. You are precious to me just like Gammamon is. Never forget that"
Hiro words echoed in her mind while remember the first time they sync with each other. He looked really happy to have her by his side. Ever since, all she had were the best of times.
Solisamon got back up and started to pounded away at the walls again. Letting loose her electricity from her horns. Everyone wouldn't give up on her so easily than she will keep fighting!
"A waste of energy....Fine then. Destroy yourself while the verse takes away at your strength. Removes the memories you cherish as if they were a chest of gold or jewels. Take away the beloved personality that makes you the "Beloved Hero". Though sooner or later is when you will submit to darkness" The voice spoke before vanishing. Knowing that the child only had a few hours left before becoming like her evolution forms.
" Got to....keep...fighting....they be here soon....Hiro.....brother......friends....Solisamon will see them....again..." Solisamon repeated to herself to keep her hope up. The only way to give herself more time to combat whatever the verse has in store for the child.
Find her soon.....Before she is to lost to save...
Unaware to Solisa, the digicore within her body that shone ever so bright with it's "Pure" attribute was slowly becoming darker. Tainted by the verse influence as a faint crack appeared. Slowly but surely it would spread till this young digimon transformed to meet it's desires.
"Oh dear child. I wish there was more I could do. All I can offer are my words of encouragement till your friends find you. Creation of Pangu the CREATOR GOD before myself.....please....stay strong" Milady plead as she witness the child's struggle through a holoscreen in her domain.
May the heroes reach her before it is too late.... Even her goddess power CAN NOT undo the damage of a verse with the FORIBBEN labelled upon it. It would be a race against time.
Facing off against the friends who have been corrupted in this verse twisted madness. How are other fairing against the other lights that followed them in the locations they fell too.
Would they be able to best those said to be the "Champions of a CREATOR GOD"?
Last but most curious....Where is the sixth figure that emerged from the child's digital core?
