PART 2:

Solisamon body began to grow colder as her movements grew even slower. Her lightning which comes her now dull grey horns now were becoming a shade of endless black. Her breathes seemed to be a struggle with each one taken. The teal color that had rekindled in her eyes now looked more of a faded hue. It would not be long till the soulless white color would return. Solisamon still pounded on the purple crystal walls which imprisoned her.

"You still fight? You must really are persistent, I'll give you that. Right now your friends are desperately fighting for you. A BURDEN that is easily put in harm's way shall just lead to their death beds. Prehaps you aren't a true "PURE"  digimon after all since all you seem to leave others with is pain" On it's scheduled time which seems like evey ten minutes. Her inner voice would spout more words of negative as well as doubt in herself.

Solisamon shut her eyes as tightly as possible while ignoring the voice which was her very own. Watering the sprout of doubt that will only bloom into the chaotic flowers of darkness. Pushing away that fear of never being rescued like pushing away a pillow which cramped your body in that uncomfortable position. The verse was taking away her strength to fight back, making her slowly forget why she was struggling so much to began with.

"Must...go..." She repeated to herself to keep up her fighting spirit. Even though she forgot the place she wanted to go to.

The name....What was the name of that place? Where did she belong? She remembers that her friends and family live there, the place itself seemed to have been erased from her mind. Taken to where it seemed to never have existed at all.

How much longer can she hold on to her memories of her brothers and friends till those memories are taken too?
****************************************************************************

Verses all go by a theme of some kind to maintain a balance of some sort. Quite similar to that of a story genre, many share the same plot id not tweeked a bit but gets holds different themes to make them unique from one another. It be hard to have imagine that this verse had been one where digimon and humans lived in such a luscious floral paradise. Plant themed digimon lived there alongside humans of the world to allow such beauty to remain forever. It was such a wonderful thought that seemed to lean more in reality than rest deep in the dreamland.

Though....NOTHING lasts forever...... All times of peace come to an end when something takes an awful turn. In this case? It all started with a one sole doubt in a child. Believing they couldn't possible help the sacred mission that their verse has done since it came into existence. Speaking of that doubt had spreaded it to more minds that pondered that very thought.

The doubt stored get fragment of negativity till it took shape into the FORIBBEN  essence that manifests to transform any verse into a lifeless ruin of it's former shell of it's self. Contaminating sky, land, hearts of all to strengthen itself. Swallowing all the positivity while crushing all within to  become broken and fade out of existence. Crumbling away the hardwork put into preserving such radiance as if it meant nothing. Throwing away the dreams of the fallen into the vortex that destroys all trace that ever popped up. That is the cruel nature of a FORIBBEN verse. Taking away all that brought joy till all seems helpless in the end.

For this reason is why the CREATOR GODS weep the salty tears of defeat whenever these verse overtake their glorious creations. The sacred treasures that get destroyed without a chance to fight back. The invisible force which toys with the mind and the heart of all who dare step into the chaod. No matter who they are or how powerful they may seem...all fall in end. No one is safe from the terror of the FORIBBEN. It is one foe that nobody has ever been able to stop.

Welll all but ONE has ever been able to resist it's mental tricks.

****************************************************************************
Pumpmon felt at peace as he laid in the emerald green paradise showered by the many precious gems of the aromatic flowers. Resting on nature's most comfortable bed ever made. The Halloween spirit digimon had never felt so relaxed at such a blissful area. Pumpmon must be extremely lucky to be in the beautiful scene before him.

"Friends would love it here" Pumpmon took a sigh while is body took this time to release the stress.

He nearly forgot the whole reason why he had come to this verse. He looked ready to fall asleep . A dream manifested inside his mind though it was actually a memory.

Flashback:

Pumpmon was sitting at the bench by the library were Hanuel was researching for some case that could help in Bokomon digitama hatching faster.  His friend asked him to wait outside and under  NO circumstances was he to materialize in front of anyone. Just to wait for him patiently while eating the candy that Hanuel gave him. A translucent orange plastic bag with caramels wrapped into a  different shapes by the red  wrapped covers . He couldn't help but feel lonely went his friend wasn't around. Hanuel  grave dislike of  digivice holders meant that he couldn't see his friends like Gammamon or Angoramon. The mysterious girl Mei helped her digimon destroy his friends could not be approached either for obvious reasons.

He missed having his friends around him, they always brought him such happy as merry times. Now his friends seemed to be limit to human and a digitama that still has yet to hatch. Pumpmon long to play and share a laugh with another digimon that he could have the other to call friend.

Was that truly so bad to wish for? To have a friend to call his own .

"Hiro! Hiro...!!" Pump turned to the voice who called out a the familiar name.

There wondering around the park was a digimon. It was the very digimon that he saw with Hiro when Quantumon introduced them. The scared digimon that Hokuto had found with no memories, the small oni mammal hybrid digimon who looked so scared. Right now Solisamon was all alone in the park. Crying out to Hiro since it seemed that they got separated. Like a child who wondered off  too far from their family in an unknown area. Worse is that despite the progress in making their country, digimon still rather stay invisible to not cause trouble for humans. Only few really show theimselves to humans who they truly trust. People started to stare and whisper at the teary eyed creature before them.

"Is that a hologram? Looks too real. See those tears. They are actually wetting the grass. Must be some program"  A middle school boy asked the group of friends he was playing soccer with.

"I think it must be one of those digimon that have been coming here. My mom saw a pink one that looks like flower eating her food. Then a mummy creature came to take it away. Saying that it needed money to eat our food"  A  light blue hair high school girl who was researching the local botany for a class assignment. She gulped in fear at what this digimon could do.

Solisamon eyes everything around her with fear. All the eyes on her gave her looks of fear and seemed to look at her as only a MONSTER. Her body shivered  while she tried to spot her human brother in the crowd that got even closer.

"If she is a program then she may be worth a ton. The owner is an idiot for leaving her alone" A money hungry man broke through the crowd  and tried to grab Solisamon. Ready to make the easy money he could have possibly .

Then a pumpkin hit him straight on his his head. More rain down while the crowd broke off running. Pumpmon then grabbed Solisamon had since all were too distracted before hiding in a bush close to the very bench he was waiting on.

"Y-you were with Hokuto before..." Solisamon recalled seeing Pumpmon in Quantumon place. He had saved her from that man. "Thank you"

"Friend is welcome. Where is Hiro? Did you two get separated?" He asked while comforting her. Wiping away the tears that were still in her eyes.

"Came to park to get used to human world....Then saw flying light. Chased after it then got here" She must be talking about the white butterlies. Their wings do look like lights when the sun hits them with just the right amount of it's rays.

Hiro and Gammamon are probably looking for her. Hanuel should be in the library for a while longer so they won't be out soon. Pumpmon could keep an eye on the young oni till Hiro came. Solisamon still looked scared from that whole ordeal. He needed to calm her down and fast.

He opened the bag of caramel candies and took the one that held the shape of a flower. It looked like a sunflower that holds incredible details which looked much like the real thing. He offered Solisamon the sweet, her eyes became starry on how DELICIOUS the treat was. How the caramel sweet essence flooded her mouth and excited her taste buds with each chew.

Such a food exists that seems like a privilege that only a god has the right to eat. Sweet sugary nectar made from the honey of a celestial beast and coated in the powder that only enhance the taste ten fold. To partake in this miracle of candy must be a blessing.

"Good right?" Pumpmon chuckled. Having the very same reaction when he first tried candy himself.

Solisamon smiled as she got another piece of the precious caramel. Her smile had made it hard to believe that she was scared not too long ago. Solisamon remembered Hiro telling her to return  favors of kindness. She took out the small bag of flavored hard candies that Gulus gave her. How he learned how to make candies is still a  mystery. Though the hard edible crystals were truly delicious treasures. Hiro would be proud that she share her sweets with Pumpmon.

"YUMMY!! " Pumpmon flame eyes ignited even more at how amazing this candy was. If he gets addicted to these candies then that would be okay!

"Candy buddies!" Solisamon cheered while eating another piece of caramel.

"Candy Buddies" huh? That sounds really nice. This young digimon and him seem to connect  through candies. It may be a small start but he could see that these two could be the bestest of friends.

That first interaction allowed these two to be the greatest friends to one another. That simple exchange of candies lead to a beautiful  friendship.

The two have been "Candy Buddies"  ever since. Exchanging different candies each time they met up with different forms of sweets.

Her smile became precious to him because it belong to one of his dearest friends. A friend that never abandoned him and would always listen to his troubles.

Flashback Ended:

His candle flame eyes widen as he jolted back to his feet. WHAT WAS HE DOING?! This is no time to be relaxing! Solisamon could be on the verge of being deleted and he was about to sleep in a flower field?! He had to find his "Candy Buddy" ASAP! She needs him right now!!

"My my, seems like the that gourd head of yours can think on it's own. Here I thought I got the easiest prey to erase. Why can't you perish as  the flowers around you. Wilt and succumb to the diesease surrounding you puny puppet body" Pumpmon may be hearing things but he swears that he knows that voice.

There was no mistaking it. That voice belong to his one and only "Candy Buddy"! Thank goodness that she was okay. He looked up and gasp at what he expected to be Suryamon. The digimon goddess of light and healing who was as bright and cheerful like sunny days. The one who healed their injuries when Thetismon couldn't, or support them with her fiery attacks. The bright flames that were the orange red colors of amber that held rejuvenating abilities to heal even the most severe injuries.

Though Suryamon seems to have take a dark turn since her once beautiful flames were now thousands of black particles. Just a glance at them made the puppet digimon ill to his digital core.

"Friend?! What happened to you?!" Pumpmon wished this was all a horrible nightmare that he could wake up from. Sadly...he was in realty where even the most delightful dream could not shield him of this horror.

Floating above him was Suryamon though her fur now adored a soulless white color. Her fiery long hair had it's flames snuffed out, replaced with the particles that spelled DEATH. The flower crown resting upon her head was now wilted and released even darker colored particles than that of her hair. Her four horns which once shone as brightly as the sun were now as black as a solor eclipse.A glittery black veil covered the white orbs that used to be teal ones filled with light filled healing. A black dress was her outfit of choice. A black halter dress with a belt of white particles wrapped around her like a leather belt. Her tails radiated some type of energy though it felt as if they had been infected by something.

Could a virus have caused his "Candy Buddy" to go to the dark side?

From what he could remember...Mummymon stated that in her tests that Solisamon could NOT be infected by viruses or get sick as easily as most digimon. With the expect of getting sick from extremely cold weather. Oni digimon could easily get sick and get deleted if they aren't adapted to the cold climate. That meant that this must be quite the powerful virus if it managed to corrupt a "PURE" digimon.

"Friend please fight virus! It's me! Pumpmon, you're "Candy Buddy"!" He pleaded. Trying desperately to free his friend without it having to result in a fight.

"Friend? Are we even really friends? Friends don't let their friends wallow in their pains alone. Though what would I expected from a puppet who thought those who dressed up as Jack O Laterns were his friends. I wonder if the children you took are still sick with the trauma that you gave them? Images of how you held a knife to their heads, craving a face out of the pumpkins you put on them. Amazing how you didn't impale one of them in the face or caused them to lose an eye. You are just as sick as the infection trauma that you gave those poor children" How does she know about that? No one should know that except Hiro, Hanuel, or Ruli.

"No...why...why is "Candy Buddy" saying all this....?" Tears pricked at eyes in disbelief. The hurt in his friend words stung his digital core badily.

"I told you that friends don't abandon those in pain.I am one who makes all suffer from the brutally of illnesses and plagues. I am Xyasmon the digimon that spreads pestilence that ends their lives in moments. Even the life in my presence grows sick and dies" Xyasmon motion for Pumpmon to look at the flowers which were a paradise to him.

Pumpmon had to back up. The flowers before him that were much like a pillow were all sickly looking. Only a second later is when they all wilted and became dust in the win.

They were killed by some sort of floral plague.....How terrible....

Pain....Sorrow...Burdens...All three of  them were horrible diseases of the heart. Natural emotions and challenges that impact one everyday. Too much of these things can poison even the most purest of souls. Solisamon was no expection in the matter. "The Multiverse Hero" shoulders all the digiverses upon her shoulders, putting all their needs before her very own.

Pumpmon allowed one more tear to fall. He knew what he had to do to save his "Candy Buddy". He had to fight the infection that corrupted her to take on such a dreadful form. This would be a brawl among Ultimate level digimon.

Hanuel isn't here to give him support right now. It shall be one of the most difficult battles in his life because he was facing a friend alone. The thought of attacking her still was sour in his mind like the world most sour candy. The bitter taste could make him cry all over again unless he could harden his heart for this fight only.

"Candy Buddy" hold on. Promise to heal you!" All diseases and sicknesses have a cure . He would be the one to lift this one from his dear friend's heart.

"So you want to confront me? Nothing can ever harm me since my entire body is just one huge plague. I doubt your pumpkins can cause much damage to me. You are brave....Bravery can only get one ever so far. This shall be your final battle, Digimon of Hallow Eves.  Must have faith in your immune system if you think you can handle my diseases. Xyasmon particles remodeled the floral paradise into a wilted battlefield of death.

"Trick or Treat!" Pumpmon summoned several giant pumpkins above Xyasmon. Intending to knock her out so they wouldn't have to fight.

In the blind of the eye...the pumpkins decayed and became mush which fell around her. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? SHE NEVER MOVED OR SPOKE!

Wait...Could those dark particles be an airborne virus for any living thing? That would make his "Trick or Treat" attack completely useless!

"Koši Sáska" The particle color changed into a bright scarlet hue as it maked itself into digits of zeros and ones. Those digits soon formed into scarlet locusts.

The locusts flew to Pumpmon then vanished into neon data bits when they touched his face. Strange that the attack did little to no damage at all. To the very least that only tickled him a little.

"Let's see what you will start to lose first" Xyasmon seeked to see the result she theorize would take effect first.

Lose? Lose what?! WHAT DID THOSE BUGS DO TO HIM?! The only thing that seemed off is how dark it was starting to get. Odd since he has only been in this verse for twenty minutes so far. Could it be night fall already?

Pumpmon blinked a few times as his eyes began to feel as if the flames were being snuffed out by droplets of water. Like a broken screen, the images before him were blurry and started to lose color.

"Ah sight. A key and privileged sense that many nowadays take for granted. You never know how dear something is till it is taken away from you. To be unable to view the colorful world around you, only to be greeted each and everyday by a black void of nothing. There are treatments for it but they can only aid that small handful. Others adapt this disability to their daily life. Overcoming that struggle with hard work. Sadly for you....either option is a case for you. The reason your sight shall be lost is because you were too foolish" Xyasmon explained how losing sight has it's pros and cons in life. For her enemies then it would always result in con.

His sight disappearing would only make the battle more troublesome......

THAT WOULDN'T STOP HIM FROM SAVING HIS FRIEND! Solisamon saved him alot of times. Played with him more than anyone else. Xyasmon will once again be the glorious Light Goddess, Suryamon again!

The battle took an odd turn when Xyasmon started singing. He never knew that any other of the evos could sing other than Lumos. This verse is changing her bit by bit......

"🎶 I bestow upon a curse of this sea of verse. Infecting all with my deadly PLAGUE🎶"

"🎶You played TRICKS on her. Bewitching that poor girl's mind. I see only deceit behind those flame eyes🎶"

"🎶You desired friends, a puppet in the end. Solisamon believed in your sugar coated lies. Breaking that trust held for you deep inside🎶"

"🎶Snuffing out my LIGHT. Inflicting PAIN. You poisoned her innocent little brain with INFECTIOUS falsehoods which made her blind🎶"

"🎶Would you try to crave eye holes with a knife? Traumatizing kids now like before. Do you have a vendetta or a personal score?🎶"

"🎶Ailments hear my plead, bring all diseases to me. Weaken him down to his knees. Rip all the stuffing from that toy body🎶"

"🎶Soul of Trickery. I spare no mercy! May my endless DARKNESS cancel your precious Halloween!🎶"

"🎶Now is the time to fight, praise the eternal night! Spreading influenza that leaves you impaired🎶"

"🎶"Datos Appestare" shall led you in despair. Rob you of all that you care. Death disease shall be your final gift, that I solemnly swear!!!

This was a fight against an unknown virus which no information can be obtained about it!
****************************************************************************
The violet mirror surface walls of the crystal prison seemed to be closing in on her a bit. The air only intensified while increase the verse negative energy. The young oni child digimon took a small break to recollect her strength which seemed to be diminishing instead of returning.

"You really forgotten how things work in FORIBBEN verses. Any positive emotion or motivation is taken away.Basically all your hard work in trying to escape that prison will mean nothing if your will is broken" The mocking voice of doubt spoke again yet this time she had a form. A black silohuette that looked like Solisamon shadow.

"Brothers will....rescue....me....He make you sorry...." Her voice came out weak as she focused more on her breathing. Pink completely vanished from her now grey body.

"Hmmm. Only your brothers? What about your friends? They are fighting the new warriors of the FORIBBEN verses that have been reformed to serve it. Tell me who are they? I would very much like to hear the names of the very friends that you hold so close to thy core" Solisamon blinked at the shadow question which made her head hurt as she thought about it.

"Friends...? Who....What does friend mean? This another trick? DON'T YOU DARE LIE!" Solisamon yelled. Whatever friends are, Solisamon never wants them!!

"Oh my mistake" The shadow chuckled. Quite pleased that Solisamon memories of her friends were taken away.

Friends....Friends....That word seemed familiar yet she had no memory of it. Must not be that important if she doesn't know it. Her "Pure" core losing more and more of it's bright color.

The others must hurry otherwise.....Solisamon may end up the same as the evos. Changed and influenced by the FORBIDDEN verse with no way to be brought back.
****************************************************************************
Hanuel woke up while holding the side of their body. They felt as if they took an entire building and by some miracle survived. If luck was not on his side then they would be a new addition to this graveyard. They slowly rose to their feet. Struggling a bit as if they took enough damaged to destroy the muscles in their legs. The fall did not seem natural like the other times when they entered portals.

Whatever happened to Solisamon, may have also separated the team. A distraction to stall for time. The question is for what reason would the one responsible have to do such a thing. No matter the reason....

Deep inside their heart they knew that it was not good. They had to get to Solisamon before it was too late.

"Ugh...I need a week in bed..." Bokomon slowly got up next to his tamer. His head took a full impact to the ground.

Hopefully he wouldn't suffer any cranial nerve damage. Body of data aside...Digimon can still suffer similar pains as humans due.  The only difference between them is that one can recover almost instantly. The other must time to recover. Only mecidine and long treatments can help move the recovery time just a bit faster.

"Out of all the places that this verse could have taken us. It chooses the place which reeks of death. Reminds me of a certain angel" Bokomon spoke while looking upon the graves before him. Remembering a lesson that Azraelmon taught him once.

That lesson helped him finally understand her to the point where he no longer saw a dark evolution. Rather he saw a digimon who was a friend.

Flashback:

Azraelmon was on top of a library that she knew a bookworm would be visiting. Despite how late it was, Bokomon never stopped learning. Human or Digital history. In the eyes of the digimon who walked the path with the  ten warriors who saved the Digital World from the fallen angel  Lucemon. Bokomon the one who wrote down the whole historical event that shown what the humans did for all of digimon kind.

The ever one who only saw the monstrous fallen angel who brings death. How she didn't hesitate to end the  time one held on the earth even if they only wanted a few moments more. The only thing that seemed honorable was she allowed those she took to say their farewells to their loved ones.

Tonight she decided to once and for all to bury the hatchet to being seen as the enemy in his eyes. Forcing Solisamon to warp digivolve, just to speak to Bokomon face to face. No taking anyone to the afterlife this night. Only talk shall happen underneath the stars above.

The moment the professor step out of the door. Azraelmon tails grabbed him before setting him down next to her.

"Ugh...You? Do you feel any shame for becoming a dark evolutionfor the most innocent digimon other than Gammamon" Bokomon snarled in disgusted. Now the Fallen Angel was stalking him?!

LIKE ALL HE WENT THROUGH IN HIS TIME WITH THE. TEN ANCIENT WARRIORS WASN'T STRESSFUL ENOUGH?!

"Hello again Bookworm. You really are a night owl when you are focused on your research huh?  Though I am not here to make fun as usual. Instead I simply want to talk" Azraelmon sat down on the soft brown tileswhile patting a spot beside her. A sharp tooth smile doing it's best to reassure him that she would do him no harm.

In Bokomon eyes, that smile was ANYTHING but reassuring. How no one sought to seal this dark evolution away still is beyond him. Serious how could Hiro let this angel of death be inside Solisamon was not a brotherly thing to do. He wouldn't get down so easily by himself. Thus he uncomfortably sat down beside his worse friend enemy.

"Fine" He said with annoyance clear in his tone. "What do you wish to discuss with me? Tell me of how exciting it is to watch the life drain from one's eyes?" He knew that she had to have some form of twisted joy in doing this role.

"Tell me then. What do you suppose happens to a soul that I send to the afterlife? Think I eat every soul that I reap?" Only a few cores she munched on. They were brimming with darkness and ill intents which are best not  suited to be brought back in the digitama cycle.

"Well their bodies decay of course. Though I do not have any idea where the soul goes to. I only ever assumed that it returns to the cycle of rebirth" History and theoretical books do suggest that is what happens to one's soul when the life they have has come to an end.

"That is the end process. Their is a secret middle one. I often visit there when I finish my duties or finish saving Hiro from another mess he got himself into" That boy seriously needs a bell on him since he gets into more trouble than a hyperactive kitten that is brought into a new place.

Bokomon would be lying of he said that didn't peek his interest a bit. A realm where the soul goes to before being reincaration? Never  had he would have believed that such a place exists. Though he has bear witness
to many of things that most would call mythical or just plain impossible.

"That's where I met your son. Herissmon when you took him out during the Wrath Arc" Bokomon eyes widen before turning to Azraelmon who nodded. "He almost let his soul be snuffed out because of guilt"

"H-he what....?" His dear son may not have been there. All because he was overwhelmed with the guilt of his actions?! "You....you convinced him otherwise?"

Again she nodded. "I spend so many years watching souls simply give up before having another chance in life. The moment I became  Angel of Death, I vowed to try and show those souls that they do deserve another chance. Herissmon thought he was doing you a favor if he allowed his digicore to vanish. Though I asked him if he really wanted to know that he would only hurt you more. A parent losing a child is one of the greatest pains to have. That boy was only scared of facing you again. Now I glad that he and you share good memories" She smiled as she saw how happy Herissmon and Bokomon were together.

"You.....help souls that lose hope. Helping them seek a chance to ammend the mistakes that they commited in a previous life..." Bokomon saw a new side to Azraelmon that he never had before. The Angel of Death digimon seemed to have a kinder purpose than one would expect.

"I know that I still scary in your eyes. A mon that should be locked away for the abilities I possess would freak anyone out. I may seem creepy and I do deserve hate for the role I was given....All I want is a chance to be a friend to you. Can we please start over?" She reached out a hand with her violet orbs pleading him to give her that chance.

"I suppose I did judge you harashly upon our first meeting. We are a part of same team, we can not keep up this unhealthy rivalry between us. The least I can do is try to understand you" He accepted the hand gesture. Willing to be friends with the Angel of Death, Azraelmon.

Since that day, the two have a good friendship between them. Not on the level of being best friends but they were on much better terms than before.

Flashback Ended:

Solisamon came to this verse and lost to a certain entity that has now taken her prisoner. One of his precious students that is always eager to learn new things. Helped Herissmon who had a hard time making friends with other kids. Widen his vast intellectual with multiple knowledge from visiting countless verses.

To think that she may be in this graveyard.

There were hundreds upon hundreds of tombstones in rows before their eyes. Willow trees hung lower as if the tree spirits were in a major stage of depression. When the wind blowing through the branches made it seem like they were covering non existing eyes. The leaves were black and brittle like cracked digital cores were in it's place, similar to rotting apples that get so ruined before splattering on the ground. The tomestones bathed in the scent of brimstone and moldy moss that is health hazard. Names edged into the stone had been scratched out or partially destroyed by whatever WAS alive in here. Hopefully they were now apart of the dead instead of the living. The holds in that must've been a fence earlier on was no longer there. The only proof that there was a fence to begin with, a small scrap of metal outside the graveyard.

An omnious scene that doesn't suit someone like Solisamon. Even her bright cheerful smile couldn't be seen in this gloomy place. Just being in such a place makes one feel the entirety of sorrow.  Truly this is the resting place that echoes with grief.

"This verse....." Hanuel never would have believed a verse such as this exist. To believe that a world can house this level of negativity.

It would be hard not to lose one's self in the madness. The mind would break and lose all that is precious to the soul and mind. Becoming so lost to discard one's identity, allowing the darkness to take them over till a new persona is forged.

Solisamon please don't lose yourself. Pure light forever beats darkness...

"Do you think she's here?" Bokomon asks while an uncomfortable feeling started to build up deep inside his core. Something evil would soon approach them.

"Hello visitors. It is rare to have the living come into my domain. Tell me young travelers, what brings you to the place which the death souls are erased from existance. Prehaps you all will be the lastest addition to those who shall lose the chance to live" Both grew white as they recognized the voice that was just up ahead. A figure sat on top of a giant tombstone that honored great heroes of history.

"Azraelmon....What happened to you? Your eyes....No...You aren't the Angel of Death anymore are you?" Bokomon could see in the soulless white orbs that the digimon before him was not his friend.

Her form was no longer one of her former self. The verse had completely reformed her into a digimon that was one with the FORIBBEN verse. Dear child....were you in so much pain that you came here? How couldn't they have seen the signs? To have been changed so much in what feel like a short period of time...

Her black fur now became the crimson red color of the underworld underneath the black reaper cloak.Wearing a like black skirt dress with a skull on the dress bow. The right half of her horns were normal with the tips that looked like they were underground magma. The left were snapped off while leaking a pitch black residue. Her violet orbs had been stripped of beautiful color to white orbs that had given up all hope for life. Her long hair was no longer held in the crystal hair ties. It now was a ghostly white color. The left half of Azraelmon face seemed to be melting off like a frozen dessert on a hot day, exposing the data like flesh underneath. It wasn't just her face either. Her upper chest exposed pitch black ribs that seemed to scream with the souls of the death, her left arm was skeletal with the fingertips coated in gold.Her piercings were erased from her as if they weren't there to begin with. Her tails had obsidian arrowheads for the tail tips.

"Azraelmon was once the name of this digital vessel. Now that this core has been bathed in essence of the FORIBBEN verse. Destroyed and recreated in the cocoon of negativity. I now am the Goddess of Darkness and the Underworld. I am Helmon and my orders are to destroy you all" Her tone was monotone, completely different from her usual tone. Not the semi jokester Angel of Death that they all knew.

"Helmon? You are now the Norse goddess?" Hanuel gasped. The verse made the Angel of Death into a Norse Goddess?!

A VERSE HAS THE POWER TO MAKE DIGIMON LITERAL GODS?! GODS?! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?! JUST WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!

"Helmon....Just what...?" Bokomon stood there till his legs dropped to the black soil riddled with microbits of data.

"Do not worry about the small details. For soon, your core will blow in the winds of non existance. It shall not be long till the child has given in to darkness. At this very moment...She doesn't recall the friendship she has with you all. I give her another twenty minutes before she completely sumbits. Even as we speak, memories of her dear brothers start to fade away" That means that the verse is turning her into a new digimon to use her powers. The same must be said for her evolutions.

"Bokomon...." Hanuel could see the tears that Bokomon hide while hanging his head so low. To see a friend being changed to this.....must be hard to bear.

"Hanuel....It's evolution time!" The professor digimon dried his tears. His expression replaced by one determined to rescue a friend.

This verse must have a weakness. By finding that weakness, that should restore Azraelmon to her true self. It could be the key to helping Solisamon as well.

Hanuel digivice meter filled up twice. Thus allowing Bokomon to warp digivolve into Ancient Wisemon.

"May the literature I bear restore you to your true self my friend" Ancient Wisemon spoke while using "Alexandria's Infernus" on Helmon.

Helmon blocked it with her skeletal hand that suffered no damage at all. Much how Bagramon used such a feat against the Fusion Fighters armies.

"Not even a tickle. Not to worry, I DON'T wish to fight you even if my orders wired in my data compel me to. Instead I will let others take this burden" Helmon touched the ground with her skeletal hand. A touch of black magic infecting five tomestones with oddly familiar symbols.

"What did you just do? Necromance?" Hanuel took out his newly upgraded taser. Ready to face whatever villainy the corrupted digimon had summoned.

"Those symbols....No...It c-can't be..." Ancient Wisemon backed up as his face was drenched of sweat. Haunted by phantoms of a past life he once lived.

The graves rumbled as skeletal arms emerged, undead groans came like the usual horror movies describe. Digimon of a past time were now reduced to nothing expect mindless walkers of the night. Hair and fur smelled like rotting flesh with glazed over eyes. Jaws detacted which hung on by a thin thread of tissue. Limping on the broken limbs which they dragged to move foward. Making grunts and distorted gurgles, brains no longer functioning to make proper speech.

Agunimon.....Lobomon....Kumamon.....Kazemon.....Beetlemon....

The five warriors that came from the human world to spirit evolve to the "Ten Ancient Warriors". He never believed that he would see them again. Never would he would have thought that he fight them.

Especially as undead zombies under the control of a friend who is being influenced by a dark force! What karma has been brought down to do this to him?!

"Yes. Lose the HAPPINESS like the girl who is my primary. Never asked her how her trips in other verses went. How many deaths do you think she has witnessed? Four thousand in one week alone. Most came from ONE sole verse. No wonder she gave into the darkness. Her mind still tormented by the screams who she couldn't help" Helmon watched. If she still had any of her emotions, she would problem find this battle amusing.

Ancient Wisemon stayed frozen in place. Five pairs of arms grabbed at his robe. Attemping to tear it into small pieces and disposal rags. Nails scrapping on his mirror body like the agonizing sounds of nails on a chalkboard.

How could he hurt the very friends that helped saved his world. The ones he shared many laughs and merry times with. How there would always be someone to comfort him in the sad times.....

Solisamon....were these the very thoughts coming to his mind...the very ones that went in her mind. To pent up all these thoughts till the verse used this to call her here.

Digischool needs to open therapy sessions for students going through difficult problems such as this. Be sure that Solisamon would be the FIRST one signed up.

Hanuel went on the defensive to protect their partner that was in a state of shock. The taser could only keep them at bay for so long.

Helmon took the liberty of singing a song while they struggled in the fight.

"🎶 Fell from grace for defending my beliefs. Ripped out my wings because of deceit. Banished to suffer, chained years on a star. Seems I was a fool to believe I did right thus far🎶"

"🎶Treated like a monster all because of my role. My digital core took a rather strenuous TOLL🎶"

"🎶I pity the child who witnessed countless DEATHS. Far too late to reach out a helping hand🎶"

"🎶Can't bear it anymore. Cast my emotions away. Helmon more of a "monotone" digimon anyway🎶"

"🎶Do not worry for I shall not dirty my hands. "Omni-Estrago" provides me an army of undead🎶"

"🎶Why the pale faces? Recognize them prehaps, the "Ten Ancient Warriors" are all under my command🎶"

"🎶Stole your old friends like you forgot Solisamon's HAPPINESS. Hope they drag you two through the threshold abyss🎶"

"🎶Fools to come here, though why should I CARE? My digital core no longer has any emotions to spare. Make excellent additions to the realm of the deceased🎶"

Geez! Hanuel had to get through all the zombies before the even getting to fight Helmon. Who knows what Solisamon was going through in the mean time.

This verse already proved how dangerous and troublesomeit was. Fighting the zombies would wear them out wat before they get to Helmon. Who knows what Solisamon was going through in the mean time.

Please be alright Solisamon.....Hopefully the others were fairing better than they were.
************************************
Hiro could have sworn that he passed that building with the Cheeriful Cola Ad faded to a transparent color FIVE TIMES NOW! Bad enough the whole situation they were in. Getting lost couldn't have made things any less worse.

Among him the buildings were just a bunch of crumbled ruins that looked far too similar from his home in Tokoyo. One being a candy shop that he and his partners often came to for sweet rewards after long days.

Solisamon....Why did you come here? Had you been through so much pain that it resorted to coming here? Did he not do his job as a tamer and older brother? What happened to this place? Just what effect did it have on the "Multiverse Hero" to compel her here?

"I should have asked her last night. She may have been alright if I had done that!" Hiro mentally cursed himself for not making that decision earlier. HOW HARD IS OT FOR HIM TO ASK HER "What's wrong?"?!

"Hiro....." Gammamon looked up from the water droplets falling down. Only to see how much pair his older brother was in.

"Crying is not going to save her! Get yourself on your feet! Stand up and go find her!" A voice boomed into his mind. Like a drill sergeant with a megaphone on the loudest setting.

Right....As much as he regrets not reaching out sooner, Solisamon needed him now. To find her before it would be too late to do anything at all!!

Gammamon smelled the air for another try to find his sister scent. Failing the first time since the destroyed area made it difficult to pin down any particular smell alone.

He thought it would wouldn't work since it failed before. Though now he picked up on a scent that he never forget.

The one that was far too similar to Solisamon herself. The evo that shone so brightly that ever Gulus can not deny how gorgeous the light was. The "Yin" to the dark evo "Yang".

Lumosmon scent. One leading him to the chaos enveloped  building that made his core quake with unbelievable levels of fear. Even more than him dying before by Regulusmon destroying his body to take over.

"Sister is close but so is enemy...." This force greatly triumphed what Regulusmon put them through.

Hiro dashed ahead, following the directions that Gammamon was giving him.

The destination happened to be the hundred floor tower that seemed to  be the heart of what used to be a city. The crumbled ruins of the former buuldings seemed to make up an outer boarder for it. Like an island archipelago concealing a hidden secret or treasure. To call it a skyscraper would be an understatement. The tower broke through the clouds, touching the stars that would normal be there.

Of course....Now they would have to search floor after floor to search for her! This must be what Mario feels when he goes through countless levels to save the princess.

SOLISAMON DO NOT BE IN A ANOTHER TOWER!! DO SO AND YOU ARE PEACH THIS HALLOWEEN! That dress always makes Hiro feel that he gained a few pounds.

Lime green glass doors were only a couple feet away. His hand only inches away from the golden brass door handle.Sweat dripping down his face as anxiety and tension filled his heart.

"Awww, seems like you do care. Hello big brothers!" That voice....Could it really be her?

"Lumosmon? Oh thank good-" Relief washed over Hiro till he froze. Remembering one detail that made him tighten his grip on Gammamon.

Solisamon CAN NOT digivolve without him. It was proven impossible for her to do so without him. Proving how unique Solisamon was as a partner.

"Lumos....What....?" Hiro eyes looked up in horror at what should have been the "Hero".

Her white fur now was a dark black color  while her hair now was a platinum blonde color. Her fourn horns covered in the FORIBBEN verse essence while it shone with dark energy. Soulless white eyes that seemed to have an evil glint in them. Black clad digi chromozoid armor covered her entire body. Decorated with silver design symbols which spelled evil.  Her two tails that were once used to keep the innocent safe, now looked like they had life over their own. Red crystal draconic heads now were at the tips of her tails.

SINCE WHEN DID SHE HAVE ARMOR?! Gulus would totally love this new look but that was beside point!!!

"You know I originally planned to jump surprise you two while watching the life drain from your eyes. Though best to stop you here" She chuckled happily in her twisted sense of glee. When did she get so dark....

"Y-you want to kill us...?! Lumosmon, it's your brothers. Please...whatever this verse did to you...Fight it..." Hiro could only back away. Color flushed away from his face.

"Dear naive boy. Lumosmon tried to fight off us. One darkness proved to be invalid to take over her core. Two darkness that had to merge togerher had to conquer her. Trapping her in her mind to watch the new mon take over, all while her very existence slowly VANISHES from this realm!! I am Kakyxmon now. BWAHAHAHA!!" Just what had the verse done to his dear sister....

"Wait....Lumos put up a fight, are the other evos effected too?" Paying close attention to Kakyxmon words. He noticed she let out more then she intended.

"Yes. We all have been granted new forms in the blessed dark garden of the FORIBBEN verse. To be selected to destroy and conquer verses to the ruins that await their path. All we must do is to wait for the child to give in, won't be much longer!" Seems like the question of  what if Lumos and Gulus swapped roles has been answered.

Kakyxmon is already scary and all she has done is talk.....

Kakyxmon rushed in to grab at the boys throats. Moving faster than they could register.

Hiro VR bracelet shone brightly as Gulus separated from Gammamon body. Hands gripping against Kakyxmon while each pushed each other back.

"Gulus?!" Hiro gasps in surprise. Not believing that Gulusgammamon could separate from Gammamon body again.

"You go find Solisamon! I got Yin!" He motioned his head to the door. Struggling to keep his place from being pushed back.

"B-but"

"SAVE OUR SISTER!" Gulus yelled. "SHE NEEDS YOU!!"

Gulus....He is right. Hiro can trust that he can handle this. He has known Lumos for years. He can surely face against her dark counterpart.

"Good luck" Hiro nodded before bolting inside the tower.

"Heh. Attacking our brothers? Since when do you pull a move from my book?" Gulus jokingly asked while the struggle went on. It pained him to see his "Yin" in this way.

Kakyxmon growled as she readied to hurl him off. Gulus was one step ahead of her, hurling her from the building. 

"Sorry Yin but I can't have you hurt hi-" Kakyxmon tails roped him to being sent flying in the same direction. "....I do the same.." Couldn't get mad since he did this to her a hundred times.

Now both were leviating high in the air. Locking onto the other's gaze with such fiery intensity.

"So Yin. You like my new self as Yang?" Kakyxmon smiled. It would appear that her affection towards Gulus hadn't change.

"Yin? I'm the Yang and are the Yin. Sweet Firefly, you aren't the one meant to work with the forces of Darkness" Gulus eyes glew faintly as he tried to look inside her digital core.

Kakyxmon aura prevent him from doing so. Hiding the chance that Lumos may still be there.

Hold on precious Pure Angel. Your Jet Black Champion shall rescue you from the internal prison that this verse has sealed you in.

"Why bother helping that BURDEN? That sad little girl will just be a broken shell of her former self. Ruke with me as King. We can conquer all these weak excuse for worlds" Kakyxmon offered her hand with a welcoming smile.

"Pass! Lumosmon is the only one who shall the one to be at my side!" How dare this mon try to conquer his heart.

ONLY LUMOSMON CAN HAVE HIS HEART. HER LIGHT ALLOWS THIS DARK HEART TO FEEL THESE EMOTIONS OF LOVE!

"Then it seems that I must convince you to submit by force" Kakyxmon created the blade "Aranruth" to go toe to toe with Gulus.

"Seems like you got a new toy" His fists covered in the dark hex flames of "Desdemona". Seems like this would be their four hundredth sparing match.

Blade clashed against destructive flame in the heated battle. Each putting every fiber of their strength into each move. No wonder the two are considered equals.

Forces of Good and evil that are lovers. Now it would seem both have fallen deeper into the side of evil and misfortune. Poor soul.....

"Funny that you came now. Where were you the times I needed you?" Kakyxmon question caused Gulus to freeze mid way in his "Dead End Skewer" attack.

"W-what?" Was Kakyxmon referring to their past?

"The time you left me to face the giantic Eraser entity DELTA XXX54 when Pangu requested we fight it together? I was in a THREE MONTH COMA because you stated "Think you are so tough? Heh, handle this one solo". Even if it was the first weeks of you neeting me....YOU LEFT ME ALONE!" Kakyxmon looked upset that she recalled that memory. Even if it were meant to distract Gulusgammamon.

"I...Yeah I did do that....I deeply regret that! It's why when Pangu was treating you. I destroyed the other ones. XXX 1 to XXX 53. Seeing you hurt made me feel a pain I now know as regret and sorrow...." His arrogance nearly costed him the love of his life hundred years ago. He's been overprotective since.

"How about when we faced Destromon who acquired all the powers of the Gods? Your carelessness  made me take the hit for you! I LOST MY THIRD TAIL BECAUSE OF YOU!!" The main reason why her and the other champion forms only have two tails, instead of the three that Pangu made her with.

"I apologized for that! We were still getting used to fighting! Darn cheater targeted my blind spot" Gulus still wished he could have smashed that Digitama. No digimon with dishonorable tactics gets one on him.

"How about when you were so wrapped up with conquering the Digital World that I was left all alone to face the End Bringer. The one who destroyed our home. The draconic monster that slaughters million upon millions of innocent lives to obtain more power. I had to seal that demon in my core..MY CORE! All because you wanted an army.  You would have thrown away the digimon who loves you so much all for power...." Seeing Gulus broken expression only made the evil glint behind those fake tears glow even brighter.

"I...I..Yin...I-I..." For what could be his first time ever. Gulusgammamon stood there speechless. Tears falling down his violet orbs.

He had abandoned her out of rage for losing the home he vowed to protect. He had went to the Digital World to make an army while his Yin stayed to fight back the monster. The monster who now lives inside his sweetheart's core.

Solisamon...Did your big brother abandoned you too? Seems like when you were suffering from what the verses put you through....

Then Kakyxmon did something unexpected in the midst of the fight. She was starting to sing?

Though who sings in the middle of a fight? This was no musical!

"🎶Being trapped within my own madness. My heart turns black in disgust🎶"

"🎶Saving after saving does not halt my heart from aching. This sorrow broke my core apart. No trace of positive left in my fragment heart🎶"

"🎶The darkness is so compelling. Why struggle in this hopeless cause? This feeling is so addictive, why bother fighting it at all?🎶"

"🎶NEGATIVITY CAUSED THIS "HERO" TO FALL 🎶"

"My rightest morals have deminished. My soul now filled with wickness. This "Pure" light has reachef it's final curtain call🎶"

"🎶Corruption dances in mind. It's so enticing and it seems I rock the villian vibe🎶"

"🎶Let's proceed to this final fight now. Come on "Yang" take your final bow!🎶"

"🎶Time to settle the score once and for all. I've longed for this kind of ending. A TRUE GRAND FINALE. Oh, the ending I'm simply DYING to SHOW. HEHEHE🎶"

"🎶Get dethtoned "Dark Conqueror"! The Cursed "Broken Hero" time has come!!!🎶"

"🎶Darkness will come! DARKNESS WILL COME!!! BWAHAHAHA!!! 🎶"

Gulus was so distracted from the song that Kakyxmon had managed to ram him into a building hard, only to pin down his arms to keep him in place.

"Get off me!! I said that I wouldn't join you!" Gulus growled as he struggled to break free from the surprisingly strong grip that his corrupted girlfriend had.

Had she been secretly trained to build up her strength? No. He was slowly becoming weaker. This verse must have been draining his energy while he fought.

"I should have guess that you would have denied my offer. Always were the one who rather lead than follow one in control" She used her tail to lift up Gulus chin to meet her eye level.

The fact he still blushed at her beauty proved that she could still convince him to join her side.

Even if it was by using a means of force.

"You know that I still hold deep emotions for you. Just having you by my side allows my corrupted dark core to feel love once again" She nuzzled her cheek against his. A loving purr escaped her lips.

The fact that Gulus blushed at the sign of affection proved that he still fell for her flirts.

"Thus I must make you submit to me. Thanks to the FORIBBEN verse, I have the perfect means of having you obey my every command" She leaned in closer. Only centimeters from his lips.

Gulus blinked. Thinking that he was seeing a glossy glow that held a shine like a rainbow colored diamond. That or Kakyxmon was planning on doing some form of mind control.

"DESDEMO-" Unable to finished the attack name. Kakyxmon lips made contact with his, forcing a long passionate kiss.

This was not a normal kiss. Rather one of Kakyxmon most dangerous moves. "Vorlage Kyss"is a corrupting virus that laces her lips to make enemies lose all will or desire to fight her. The virus fully reprograms their minds and thought patterns to be completely submissive to Kakyxmon.

Gulus eyes began to dull as the virus started to take effect. Inner struggles to fight against it were being snuffed out.
************************************
Solisamon no longer made any attempts to escape her crystal prison. More focused on why she was trying to leave in the first place.

"Brothers....Solisamon must get to brothers, but who are brothers. No names...Why can't I remember names?" Now the invisible force of the FORIBBEN verse stole away the names of the two she held the most dear to her heart.

She tried to recall anything that could held her remember. The images were blurred and fade beyond recognition. Voices had been erased to the point any would be mistaken for the desired one. Smells were long gone from her memory to even find them familiar. Doubt her "Brothers" were a type of food that she had tasted. Right now, she couldn't remember what anything tasted like. Even the limited air around her held such a bland flavor.

She did hold a faint memory of someone giving her a hug. One that held such warm and comfort that it made her feel so safe. Not letting her go till the cloak of sorrow over her was completely dispelled.

Could her "Brothers" be the ones who gave such a hug? What if this all just a trick from the voice like before?

"Brothers...Who...are they...? Please help Solisamon.......Scared....S-So scared..." She teared up once again. Her new white eyes now holding fresh tears of fleeting hope. "Please come and hug me....."
************************************
Hiro bolted down the hallway of each and every floor to find his little sister. Not caring how exchausted his legs were. He HAD to find her.

If what Kalyxmon said is true then all the other evos were now corrupted and reformed to serve this verse desires. Meaning that Solisamon didn't have much time before she was in the same boat.

"Solisa...." Hiro couldn't begin to imagine how much pain Solisamon must be in. He is going to give her a huge hug after this.

HE WAS HER BIG BROTHER! She could come to him with any problem no matter what! Did she think that it was too much of a self centered issue? That wouldn't have mattered! Any pain she goes through should be a burden that he could shouldered too!

"Hiro!" Gammamon stopped in mid air. Pointing out to a reflection from the building across them that was barely standing.

From what the mirror window glass revealed. On the fifty eighth floor, a bright violet aura glew. Giving off a vibe that crawled in one's mind to show them dark images to forever haunt them.

"That must be where she is!" Hiro looked to see that they were currently on the thirty sixth floor. They would need to be as quick as lightning to reach her in time.

The true question was: Would they be able to make it in time before Solisamon is lost to the verse? Could they save her from whatever the verse was doing to her?

As they sped up floors, a symbol appeared in Hiro digivice before quickly vanishing. Not that the boy noticed.
