Darkness often looming in the mystery that dwells deep in dungeons. Labyrinths that vary from stone halls which contain as many rooms as a luxurious five star mansion. Ranging the monsters waiting to ambush adventurer parties that ventured into the dangerous perils of the unknown floors, that or discovering bounties of treasures that are in the bottom heart of the dungeon. In the "Quest Verse" many tamers and digimon are a part of guilds that explore dungeons for resources or vauble treasure to help their home towns. Each tamer and digimon is blessed with an adventurer class along with a weapon or skill unique to their class. Thrilling adventures in a world where a certain popular afterschool activity or from Isekai animes. Ready to dive into a fantasy world where thrilling adventures with trustworthy friends at your side? LET'S GO!!!

Hiro was in his dorm while he awaited for Ruli and Kiyoshiro to come to watch over Solisamon since he was going to a meeting with Mei and Hanuel. It concerned them when a rumor that a digimon was scaring people away from forests in Canada. A digimon that has full control of nature which is causing flora to destroy a few construction sites that were reducing trees in the surrounding areas. Betelgammamon seemed best suited in a fight against a plant type themed digimon. Hanshiramon, Wizarmon, and Pumpmon would make ideal back  up for a fight such as this.

Meaning that Solisamon would need to be looked after till they got back. Right now the little oni child was scribbling away at a piece of paper with a blue crayon that was now a nub at how fiercely she was pressing against the paper. It nearly shocked him that it did NOT break from how she was handling it. Other than that, he seemed really happy that Solisamon went back to her favorite past time.

"What are you drawing Solisamon? May I see?" He looked down to get a better look at her drawing. Even going  down to her level.

Solisamon frowned like a rainy day completely ruined the cheerful mood she had since a while. Hiro would not stop pestering her with that annoying question, "Are you okay?" every darn hour. A few hours is fine but every hour is too much!!! Can a young oni child not draw in peace? Is drawing  suddenly a crime now? She held up a crayon drawing of Hiro and Gammamon with devil horns because that's how she feels around them lately. Like being suffocated by clingy devils.

"Awww!" That's going on the fridge" Being drawn as a demon aside, he was overwhelmed by joy that his little sister was drawing again. Placing a magnet to attach the paper to the mini black compact fridge.

Gammamon smiled at the picture before looking back at Solisamon. He then saw it. Only for a second but he swore he saw it. Solisamon eye puils were star shaped....red ones. Prehaps he simply imagined it.

"Sorry we're late Hiro" Ruli and Kiyoshiro finally arrived to watch over Solisamon as planned. Bringing over a few board games for a fun stay in day

"Angoramon! Jellymon!" Solisamon rushed over to greet the two digimon. Hearing that they were nearly taken out on their last mission.

It seems a distortion in a network located in Costa Rica. Forcing the digimon residing there to undertake unusual or un-natural evolutions. The evolutions were turning the digimon maf and it led them to hospitalize a couple of humans. Though it seems like the digimon responsible had been corrupted by a virus that alters brainwaves. Amphimon and Diarbbitmon were nearly deleted by high sonic charged "Dark Sonic Boom". If Mei and Rythimon had not come in for a last minute assist then they would've lost two digi-pals to the digitama rebirth cycle. Both have been bench since for safety and to rest up from that whole ordeal.

Solisamon hugged them since she had been on another mission in Wyoming. She should have completed it as fast as possible so she could have assist.

"We're okay Solisamon" Jellymom patted her blue hair to reassure the young one.

"Sorry that we worried you" Angoramon apologized as he carefully set her down. No need to worry the youngest when the problem has already been resolved.

Ruli watch the three interact with a sad smile. She felt responsible since she rushed into the network station once they found out where Metal Etemon was stationed at. Because of her reckless decision then a digitamas could be in the place of Angoramon and Jellymon.

"Tsk. You are such a child with no regard for your own safety. Look at the result that risk. You nearly lost your partner because your tendency to rush into dangee. To think you are a Digi Destinies....oh how the mighty have fallen. How fitting you are paired to a digimon with enough common sense to  steer away from trouble..Really are a fragile princess that needs protection aren't you?" That voice has been in her mind since after the whole Metal Etemon incident. Sounding like an exact copy of her own voice that made it seem like her inner self was speak out.

Though why does it sound like it was disappointed in her. They bpth rushed in didn't they? The voice stated that she is unworthy of being a Digi Destinies but that was a lie....right..?

She has proven that through her bond with Angoramon. The many conflicts that they put an end to, how their bond allowed them to become strong enough to go to the heights of mega.

Then why does it feel that she had fell right back down to ground zero all over again? Watching as everyone  around her has reached higher levels of power though she remains at a stand still.

"Ruli?" Angoramon voice managed to snap her out of her trance. Seems as if Hiro has left already.

Before they could start any of the board games, a red blazing hot portal opened in the place of the table. Solisamon gasped before jumping in. A voice she knew was pleading for her aid. She must help out such a dear friend who would do the same for her. The others did not hesitate to follow the youngest.

"Angewoman....Hold on" Solisamon whispered to herself. Praying that no harm was coming to her friend.

Angoramon could not help overhear the littleone. Solisamon knows a celestial digimon such as Angewomon?! Though it may make sense.

"It is rumored that when Hokuto found her that many Celestial digimon gathered in area. It was almost like they were drawn to her "Pure" light. Yin was similar when were in areas that holy digimon lived in. They would come to see the one whose light surpassed their own" Gulus had told them all that once. Early on during the time they learned of the unique digimon.

It makes sense that a few celestial digimon chose to befriend Solisamon. Clearly they know her or the digimon who she once was.  Hopefully Angewomon would have more insight into the matter.

"HOT! HOT!!" Jellymon felt like a friend squid in the sheer heat of portal gate way.

Are they going to some sort of  volcanic digital world? SHE CAN NOT DO HIGH HUMIDITY AREAS!!! NO NO NO!! Worse than any thirsty Zassoumon!!

Kiyoshiro was sweating as if he was boiling alive. It almost made him what to be frozen once again by Frozomon.....though not really.

They soon arrive in a town were digimon and humans seem to be at peace with one another. Travel in old in day clothes from the time of castles and kings. There were many groups in clothes that reminded Kiyoshiro of Isekai anime parties.

"Are we in a verse or a cosplay party? I feel we went to one of Darling Anime fests" Jellymon remembered the last anime fest had a futurish theme with a hint of magic.

"No this is "Quest Verse". Digimon and humans are adventures who go after digimon warped into out of control monsters" Solisamon explained before making her way to her desired location.

The others scared a glance before following the youngest through the small markets run by simply townfolk digimon and tamers. Among them were highly skilled adventurer parties. Ranging from Holy Paladin knights to Dark Magic users that study the most cursed spell among both species.

"This is incredible...." Angoramon had read about places like this yet never had he imagined to experience first hand. He had to see if he can purchase  a book that had information on this verse.

"Is that an elf archer? OOOH! That monk must be high ranking if he is wearing a gold rank! That ranger is riding on a dragon! They have dragons!!!!" Kiyoshiro was in nerd nirvana right now.

"Higacchi....that's a digimon" She pointed out. Watching the young ranger riding on the Maildramon before they took to the skies.

"Still cool! Solisamon should have told me of this verse!" He should ask to take a vacation here. It would be another fantasy come completely true.

"I think she worried that you would want to live here" Jellymon could see the sheepish look on Kiyoshiro face which confirmed that would have happened.

The group approached a guild hall that went by the name "Genova Celestials". A building made by golden bricks with cherry wood sign that were framed around the guild name. Standing guard were a pair of Knightmon. Neither moved from appointed positions with spears in hand instead of swords. The group did not know how to approach these digimon, though Solisamon walked to them without any form of fear.

"HALT! You do not have any authorization to enter the guild! State your business before we can consider letting you inside" The Knightmon to the left pointed his spear to Solisamon neck, ready to delete her without a shread of hesitation.

"Percival wait! That's-" The Knightmon on the right stopped the one to the left. Then he bowed while forcing his commrade to do the same. "My apologizes for how we treated you "Pure Clarity of Holy Stars".

"We came to see Angewomon. Please let us enter" Solisamon did not remember that title yet she can feel her core illuminate just by the mentioning of it.

"Pure Clarity of Holy Stars...? What...? Just what does he mean?" Ruli asked the other two digimon though they were just as clueless.

Erased memories seem more and more like a curse when it involved Solisamon. There are still things that even Gulus did not know about her. Quantumon barely had any information on her either beside a few fights that Lumos assisted in. Other than that, the Pure Attribute digimon was wrapped in a thick shroud of mystery.

Must be even thicker with memory lane crumbling down to mere rubble that is as fragile as dried up autumn leaves.  Solisamon is taking it the hardest since many remember the "Hero" she used to be...

The group entered to what looked like a tavern with adventurer parties discussing which dugeons they would be exploring or just dining on excellent food before heading out on their next mission. Sounds of the group's footsteps got the whole tavern attention as they eyed their every movement. Felt as if a hundred security cameras were recording them for an invisible third party.

"Hey....It's her..." A Zudomon Barbarian whispered to his tamer who was a platinum rank Bard.

"I thought she was just a myth..."  A cooper rank Gabumon gaped at Solisamon who walked past them to a door belonging to the guild master.

"Solisamon seems popular here. Maybe I can make a business on digimon paying to get her signatures" With that Jellymon eyes practically transformed into money symbols.

She could see it now! Maybe she could use her as a model for Shoemon fashion line.

"Jellymon sama...Last time you used Solisamon for a business, Gulus tied your tentacles together then trapped you in six boxes that nearly cit off your oxygen...I think that was a clear warning not to try that again...." Kiyoshiro would rather not have to have a heart attack going through that again.

Solisamon struggled to open the doorknob. Angoramon had to hold in a chuckle before opening it for her. She pouted a bit before walking in.

"Greeting "Multiverse Hero". "Pure Clarity of Holy Stars" Angewomon greeted in a holy Cleric outfit that was tailored to still represent her as a celestial.

"Hi Angewomon!" Solisamon smiled. Sharing a hug with her one of her long time friends when she first verse traveled.

"You look well dear friend" Angewomon looked up to see Ruli and Kiyoshiro. Confused as if she excepted to see someone else.  "Are these four friends?"

"I'm Ruli Tsukiyono. This is my digimon partner Angoramon" Ruli introduced herself then Angoramon who bowed respectfully.

"Hello madam. I am Kiyoshiro Higashimitari. This is Jellymon sama my digimon partner" Kiyoshiro bowed politely. Jellymon just basted in the spotlight of her Darling introducing her as he did.

"I am Angewomon. Guild Master of the "Genova Celestials". Despite thw name, there are various digimon and tamers outside holy celestials. I was once a platinum rank Cleric Healer before retiring for the Guild Master position" She sat down with Solisamon in her arms. She missed having her friend to chat with again.

Angewomon could not stay cheerful for long though. It only took a second for a frown to appear on her face. Clearly something close to heart was troubling her.

"Angewomon...Are you okay?" Solisamon could hear the discord resonating greatly in the celestial digimon.

"We lost contact with an adventurer party who took a job in slaying a dragon digimon that has been driven mad....that party had my little sister Luxmon along side her tamer. I have tried to sent a rescue party to them...however ..." She paused mid sentence which shown how serious the matter was.

"Which dragon digimon was it? If you do not mind me asking" This interested Angoramon since not many dragons were seen coming to Earth.

"Examon" That name caused Angoramon and Jellymon to gasp with horror plastered on their faces.

EXAMON?! THE ROYAL KNIGHT?! Many digimon always questioned what would happen if the Royal knights were to turn evil. That nightmare still lived deep in the hearts of the young digimon to this day.

"No one is going to rescue them? It seems these digimon are as cowardly as you child. It disgusts me that a renown warrior of justice has lost his mind because his will was weak. If you are a Digi Destinies as you claim to be then by all means prove it. Rescue them" Ruli wanted to reply back to the  voice that was giving her nothing but a migraine. She held back to not seem crazy for speaking to one who is not there.

Now was not the time for that. Right now they had a group of adventures to save!

"You can count on us!" Solisamon volunteered them. Ready to prove to the others that she was useful to handle whatever was thrown her way!

She was not called the "Multiverse Hero" for nothing!  Time for her to show the truth behind that name!

"Very well then.Allow me to grant you your adventure classes for this mission. Usually we start all at Cooper rank, though given the urgency of the matter.....I will temorary give you all platinum ranks" Angewomon summon five rings of holy light before the heroes that bath them in a celestial glow.

That glow gave them a change of clothes as well as weapons. Seems that Comic Con came early for Team Lirurun!

Ruli was dressed in a velvety green Bard outfit with golden trimming which were enchanted by the holy digimon protection. Light yet thick gloves on her hands to prevent any damage from playing her musical instrument. White tights with a leather brown sachet of potions and scrolls for magical spells, mostly the musical type. Brown leather boots that felt snuggled even though it was her first time wearing them. Finally the golden Lyre that was in a way her portable piano without the keys.

Angoramon wore a white hooded tunic which suited his Monk class well. Wrappings around his arms and legs shown he was quite skilled in close combat. Other than that, he recieved a necklace of prayer beads and a red bo staff.

Kiyoshiro was given a a dark violet wizard robe along with the signature wizard hat. Around his neck was a "Relic of Divine Protection" that can grant him protect for a total of three times before it is used up. He also obtained an actual magical staff that had a mineral stone from the digital world in it's center. The murky emerald stone seemed to be just brimming with magic that held endless potential. The other item in his possession happened to be a book of magical spells in a thick olive cover that reek of brimstone. He wore the same brown leather boots as Ruli.

Jellymon wore black steel armor which covered every part of her body, aside from her tentacles. On top of that was a black cloak that made it seem as if she was a ghaustly phantom of the death walkers. She wore a ruby mask that concealed all expect her eyes. Her weapons of choice happened to be two daggers that could be charged by her electricity for more damage and a crossbow in the event that she would need to fight at long range. Fitting since she recieved the Rogue class.

Lastly was Solisamon who wore a white priestess robe with protective holy symbols woven in by golden thread. A divine circlet was placed on her head to prevent any temptions from entering her mind.  Chromo Digizoid arm bands coiled around her arms for some defensive protection. Though she could summon her sword at any moment, she was gifted the holy staff of healing that brimmed with holy energy.

"Cooool!" Ruli was amazed at the group's new attire. It seems that she was a musician no matter the world.

"Hmmm" Angoramon questioned if he got the Monk class because of his pascifistical nature. Though he did not really complain about it.

"YES! YES! I knew I had wizard blood in my veins!" Kiyoshiro wasted no time in testing out a spell. Making a fireball appear before lighting a nearby candle.

HA! SEE THAT NON BELIEVERS?! MAGIC DOES EXIST! JUST NOT ON EARTH!! BWAHAHAHA!!

"Well Darling is thrilled" Jellymon snickers at how her tamer was testing out every spell he could tink of.

"Jellymon looks amazing!" The youngest praised the digimon she viewed as a cool older sister or that awesome cool aunt figure.

"Of course I do. You know, you don't look to bad yourself. We have the cutest cleric on our side" Jellymon patted Solisamon head. Careful not to hurt her with the steel armor.

Solisamon missed this feeling of recieve praise. Lately it is either worry for her safety or just bitter disappointment from those who hate the "Multiverse Hero". She be lying if that act of affection did not make her a bit misty eyed right now.

"Thank you! Solisamon will heal everyone in need!" She would be the best Cleric that this verse has ever seen before!

She will prove that she isn't useless and someone that is to be constantly worried about! Solisamon refuses to allow anyone getting hurt on her watch! She shall bring mega heals!!

"You aren't even worthy to wield an actual weapon. Music may be your your passion but how do you honestly protect others with it? At least be a look out for those who can truly fight. "  Must this voice criticize everything about her? THERE ARE SOUND ATTACKS TOO YOU KNOW VOICE!!

"Tsukiyono sama, are you alright?" Kiyoshiro looked over to Ruli who awoken from the dazed state she was in.

"Huh- Oh I'm alright " She smiled. Playing it off as if she was in dreamland for a short while.

The others believed her and got ready to be transported to the portal via transport circle. Well all but Angoramon seemed convinced that everything was alright. She has been off ever since the Metal Etemon incident.

No...no..no ...Angoramon!!

Please...Please hang on....

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!!!!

The fear in her voice made him see how scared she was to see him so close to his death bed. How she hugged him so tightly once it was confirmed that he wouldn't be a digitama.

He vowed to never stop protecting Ruli in any form. It pained him that he was the source of this torment. If only she be more open with this....comminicate can ease both their troubles.

Now the real question is why can he not work the courage to confront her about all of this yet.....

Soon the group was ported into the dungeon where Luxmon party became lost in.It seemed to be a dungeon centered around a massive volcano. Magma trends could be seen crawling all over the walls. It felt as if an oven had gone full on nuclear. Charred black stone walls that reek of sulfur and rotten eggs. Low growls could be heard from the various dragon digimon who have gone mad.

"H-Hot..." Seems like the pink mollusk would become fried jellyfish. The armor made it hotter.

Could the Rouge class have betrayed her? Please....please digital heavens show her mercy.... HOW IS EVERYONE ELSE NOT SWEATING BULLETS LIKE SHE WAS?!

"The dugeon is only four floors. According to what Angewomon told us, her sister and her party are on the fourth floor. Most likely where Examon is" Angoramon still shivered even while he himself mentioned the mere name of the corrupted Royal Knight.

"Is this Examon really that bad?" Ruli asked while the they proceeded through the first floor of the dugeon.

Angoramon and Jellymon looked more terrified than nearly having their home destroyed by Regulusmon. The draconic member of the Royal Knights who is the largest and most destructive of them all. It is why all digimon pray for any other knight expect that one.

"YES!"

"He is the nightmares of all nightmares. If I were to pick Examon and being trapped in the loop dream with Skullgreymon...I CHOOSE SKULLGREYMON"

For those two to agree on the same topic is proof that this mon absolute BAD NEWS!!!

"Examon sounds like a dumb name..." Solisamon never understood names without meaning. Plus maybe Examon is not as mighty as many blessed he is.

Maybe afterwards ahe would play this Examon a visit. He should know well not to cross her or her friends....Her pupil turn into red  stars for a mere thought that fogged her mind.

Then a group of Gold V-dramon that blocked their path to the second floor staircase. Their eyes were full of black static glitches while their mouths foamed in ruby red saliva that was acidic enough to melt magma.....

MELTED THE MAGMA....That is not good at all....

"Petit Tornado!"

"Bibi Thunder!"

Angoramon managed to turn the air attack into a close combat that forced one of the Gold V-dramon crashed into the wall and got deleted in the molten magma.

Jellymon concreted her electricity into her daggers before tossing them at the remaining golden dragon digimon. Watching how the electricity  jerked his body till he was reduced to to neon data bits.

"WOOOOOAH!!" Solisamon eyes glittered in amazement. The coolest big siblings/ aunt and uncle ever!!!

"It seems that there is nothing to fear when it comes to these two. They know how to confront the dangers presented before them. Unlike you child. How long do you expect to remain the proncess who hides behind the bunny knight? Grow up and protect him for once" The voice was not wrong in the words that they spoke.

In most of their situations....Angoramon always protects Ruli even if ot means putting himself in danger. When will she step up and return the favor for her dear partner digimon?

The voice is right when it says this. Though what can a mere human do against powerful threats such as digimon?

The group procceed to the second floor that seems to have taken a forest like landscape. There were pine trees that seem to go on forever and as if it defied all logic, there was a blue sky. An underground dugeon that had a sky on the second floor....Now they really have seen everything.

The floors all seem different from one another. Each having an evironmental area that can be the home to various types of dragon digimons. It could be the likely that all the dugeons of this verse are like this one.

Bokomon would probably go on a research rampage for a single floor, he may write a whole sixty book series for a handful of the dugeons here. Heck he may go on a nuclear search mode just learning about classes and adventurer parties that reside here.

"How in the world are we in a forest?!" Kiyoshiro was having a hard time processing that fact while the others paused for a short rest.

"This is a digital world. It's could be similiar to when we use the AR Fields to check the area so no humans can get hurt" Could this verse be making it's own fields as dugeon floors? That would make it semi self aware then.

Could there be other verses like this one? Centuriomon probably knows that answer since he watches over every single verse.

Solisamon recieved a lunch from Angewomon to give to everyone. Each had the special nutritional supplements to restore particular classes within parties. For hers, it was salmon riceballs roasted. Then some white rice with soy sauce, and friend chicken. There was a cute face made from the soy sauce that resembled a cute bear.

Angewomon really was kind to her. Her and Luxmon....She must save her at all costs....failure is not an option here.

"For a dungeon, it is quite peaceful here. You would think that we would have ran into another dragon or something" Jellymon could finally breath again. Taking in as much as this peace as possible.

Why does it feel that when anyone who says those words or anything similar that the group runs into trouble soon? If Hiro luck was not bad enough....Now they just jinxed themselves. Way to go Jellymon Sama!

Ruli and Angoramon were enjoying the shade that the pine trees provided while partaking in Angewomon lunches. Hard to believe that they hadn't had a relaxing time like this since making their own country.

"This is nice" Ruli could feel the relaxing breeze blowing in her face. It felt like the spirits of tranquility were praising her in this moment.

Angoramon had to agree since it had been a while since he could relax like this. Made him wish that he brought a  book to read for a peaceful forest setting.

Then he recalled about asking Ruli how ahe was fairing after the whole Metal Etemon incident. To assure her that it was not her fault. They were foolish to take on Metal Etemon right away without having a plan in mind. That mistake was theirs as a group.

"Ruli-" The sound of a twig snapping caused him to spring up. It would seem that this forest is not as peaceful as they were lead to believe.

Solisamon and Jellymon picked up on that, looking around for any signs of the digimon that was stalking them. Strikedramon. A group of five had been hiding in the trees to ambush them once they fully dropped their guard. Had one not step on the most frail stick than they would have been in deep trouble.

"Ugh... These guys are the most annoying digimon to fight in a group..." Say the digimon who jinxed them five minutes ago. "They are known to fight in coordination when they form groups like these.

Ruli got out her lyre harp out. She could play a "Melody of Protection" to keep the group safe from damage. Supporting them the best she can using her ability as a Bard.

Unfortunately a Strikedramon could sense what she had been planned to do and striked her with "Strike Claw". Letting out a scream of pain as she held her arm. A large gash was in place of the torn shelve that had blood dripping from her arm now.

"Ruli!" Angoramon rammed the Strikedramon he had engaged battle with to rush to her side. Jellymon and Kiyoshiro covered them to the best of their abilities.

Solisamon had defeated her Strikedramon by using the cleansing light of her "Scatter Zaps" gave it a fright that caused the coward to retreat.

"Solisamon, please use your power to heal Ruli wound" Angoramon pleaded to the young Oni cleric.

Solisamon held her staff towards the wound as she began to chant the divine prayer. Her body glew bright as she spoke the words for mending injuries.

"Oh Digital gods that watch from above, I call for your light to heal this child that is deeply loved. Heal the flesh and sow the wound. Replenish her blood that has been spilled, prevent a death and soul from being killed. In return have my praise. This "Pure" child is a humble servant to thy holy light. Please allow this child to continue the fight" Solisamon staff glew as holy energy went into Ruli gash. Healing it as if her flesh was cloth and the loose seams were being sow back together.

Ruli and Angoramon watched in amazement that lasted even a few more seconds. Even after the wound had fully healed. It felt more than holy light that fixed her wound.

"Thank you Solisamon" Ruli smiked. Giving Solisamon a kiss on her forehead as a thank you.

Solisamon blushed as she give a small smile. YES! YES! She had healed Ruli! All on her own too! No voices helped her or did she need to rely on a potion like last time! This was all her! WHOSE USELESS NOW?! NOT HER!

"Tsk. You honestly believed the enemy would have allowed you to make such a move? You must really lack any battle training. Prehaps early on your enemies allowed you to do such a feat, but remember that this verse does not play by those rules here. You should know that magic is to be casted away from enemy range. Truly you are a helpless little princess hiding behind your bunny knight" The voice came back with more criticisms. Can it not see that she was trying her best her?

No warrior can be absolutely perfect in battle. Even they make slight flaws which they only have seconds to ammend if they can.

Jellymon and Kiyoshiro had managed to defeat the remaining Strikedramon. Combining the use of her daggers and elemental magic of fire and ice managed to take them down fast.

Ruli felt as if she held the group back in this fight. Yes she had been trying to help, though her getting injuried caused the Angoramon to stop fighting to protect her. Solisamon had to end her battle to heal her which made her vulnerable in that moment. She even put Kiyoshiro and Jellymon in danger since they were now fighting without any form of back up.

Could it be true....could she really be a damsel that needs to be protected for everything?

Solisamon could hear the discord in Ruli heart. Though she could also hear a powerful entity inside her. Could that discord be turned into a new power?

Should she tell Angoramon about how  troubled Ruli is? He was her digimon partner, if anyone could help her through it than it would be him. Discord can poison one's heart like cobra venom if not handled soon. Hearts can be just as fragile if not more fragile than the mind when it comes to matters like this. It feels almost like an uncurable sickness.

May Mummymon NEVER learned that she thought that. He give her a stormy lecture on that topic. While she ran away from shots rapid fired from his gun Obelisik.

Unknowns to the group, it seems like Examon had a spy tailing them since they first arrived inside the dungeon. A Cyberdramon had been remaining in the shadows since he did not want them to learn of his presence. Especially the one with the most keen sense of hearing that he has seen. To learn of their abilities so he could report it all back to his master.

"It would seem that my Strikedramon forces have failed...Though they did allow me to see these fools in action first-hand. It seems that their weakest link is that girl. The rabbit will do nothing if she is in harm's way. Which means the other three are the main threats" He made the notes to himself, making sure that even the enhanced hearing from Angoramon could not hear him.

There was also the problem of the "Pure Clarity of Holy Stars". The one who healed the celestial digimon from a virus that would have wiped all from existance. To restore those who had fallen in the wars that enemies put them in. That "Pure" energy may be one of the most vauble powers in the whole existance of digimon kind....all in the hands of child.

Many have send assassins to kill the oni child for her attribute, though the celestial digimon always protected her from such harm. Now she is in the hands of these young Digi Destinies, meaning that something has prevented the holy celestials from coming to her aid.

End Bringer was the likely suspect in the matter even if this is still under investigation.

"Master Examon is far more worthy of that power than you "Clarity". I will ensure that he gets it!" He wore a look of "I will not fail" before striking down a row of trees. Displaying just a fragment of his power even if he was the only witness.

The light of all is in that digital core heart of hers. How would many sing such praise when it is an everlasting battle to keep it safe.

Sometimes she just wants to take a break from it all. Though her duties would only pile up. She is the ONE and ONLY "Multiverse Hero". This responsible was hers and hers alone.

The third floor seemed to be a sandy desert landscape that raged with random sand twisters every few seconds. Practically a utter wasteland where nothing but bones could survive in. The catcus in the area even looked dried up, that is saying something for a plant made to suffer climates like this one.

Jellymon wanted to cry right then and there. First she is nearly fried by the heat from the volcanoe. Then she recieves the false mercy of the forest floor and now it's back to the scorching heat?! WHY IS FATE CURSING HER TODAY?!

"Look!" Kiyoshiro eye caught sight of a necklace that seemed to be one of the rare holy items that young celestial digimon wear. Similar to the tail ring that Gatomon are often seen wearing.

"That's Luxmon! Angewomon gave it to her to have the gods protection. Even Fighters need a bit of holy protection" Solisamon remembered Luxmon weating it when she first met her.

That time Hiro went with her. Gammamon had to stay behind from a massive stomachache from consuming too many "Champions". For some reason Hiro got the Princess class.....frilly red dress....ruby red slippers...even make up....

"WHAT THE?! WHY DID I BECOME A PRINCESS?!"

Angewomon responds? "You are constantly getting yourself in trouble and having to be rescued. The light gives those the classes based on their personas, dear child"

Probably best that Hiro never comes back here. She had to save him a ton here since his TM energy was on an all time high here.

"That makes we are getting close! All we have to do is save Luxmon and co. Then we escape using that portal scroll Angewomon gave me" Kiyoshiro held up said scroll.

"We are not going to fight Examon?" Solisamon asked. Shocked that they would not take on the verse problem head on as usual.

"NO!"

"HE WOULD KILL US!"

"Jellymon sama and Angoramon have right"

Ruli seemed lost in though again to give her input. Wondering if she should be a Digi Destinies if she only puts herself and Angoramon in danger.

"Ruli..." Solisamon tugged at her side to try to snap her out of whatever funk she was in. Sensing the discord only grew more chaotic in her heart.

Could it be the entity that she sensed earlier or could it be what others call "Crushing Self Doubt"? Ruli was far too strong to allow an incident like this to overwhelm her right?

"I'm fine...let's save Luxmon...." She started to go off in a direction that would lead to the final floor.

Even if she may not be worthy of the title "Digi Destinies", that did not mean that she could not do what she could to help that party. They were send here to help out and she sure as heck would!

"You lack skills of a warrior but I must admit that you hold the heart of one. Here you stand an open target for any approaching dangers and yet you face it without any sign of fear. The damsel may be freeing herself from thy tower around the heart" Did her ears decieved her or did she recieve a geniune compliment this time?

"Freeing myself from the tower around my heart? What does that mean?" Ruli asked. Confusing in what the voice was trying to say here.

Seriously why are they being so cryptic here? Why must all voices make things to be puzzles and riddles to solve? NOT EVERYONE IS GOOD AT THEM YOU KNOW.

Course the voice did not answer and it became silent. If this was some sort of test than Ruli did not understand the lesson here.

Angoramon watched this mental struggle that Ruli seemed to be facing. It felt like a painful burn coursed through his boady to see Ruli in such turmoil. He needs to talk to her about this before it gets even worst.

"Rul-" On cue, his ears picked up on another dragon digimon heading their way for an ambush attack.

Do these digimon never learn? If they make the slightest sound than he will be alerted of their presence! Heck of a time they choose now to launch a sneak attack!

"We got company!" Jellymon got out daggers which were already super charged with electricity!

Ruli looked up to see Airdramon. A whole lot of them that seemed to be plagued with the same madness as the Gold V-dramon. There bodies had turned a dark violet color with the wings remaining the same. Feathers of bright red and yellow had shifted to the hues of dull grey with red tips. The skeletal skull had been altered to be a black obsidian stone one. Bright red fangs oozing with acidic green foam made anyone who saw them sick to their stomach. Lastly the eyes....Oh those eyes. Soulless red eyes of a primal animal ready to strike at anything that moves.

A group of six Airdramon were circling above them. Waiting to see if they should strike first or should they give their opponents that privilege. Drops of their acidic green salvia fell from above, melting holes wherever they land on.

"AHHH!!" Kiyoshiro could not help but scream in that moment. JUST WHAT ALTERATIONS DOES THIS MADNESS DO.

"Darling do NOT Integer Overload on us right now! Now is NOT the time for that!" Jellymon could not revive Kiyoshiro while fighting off evil Airdramon at the same time.

"Kiyo magic is needed. Please no faint" Solisamon pleaded, even busting out the cute eyes that makes Gulus cave instantly.

One time Gulus and Solisamon were trying some of the new treats from the candy shop. Solisamon and him ate till there was a single bag of hard candy left. Gulus was ready to pull out the big brother card till he got hit with them teal puppy dog eyes. His face got so bright red that he had to use his tail to give her the back.

He is the one who nearly conquered the entire Digital World and yet....He is far too helpless again the youngest puppy dog eyes. Curse Gammamon for teaching her to make her adorableness a weapon!

"Okay! Tsukiyono, please try the "Melody of Protection" again. This time we will cover you!" Kiyoshiro instructed before going to unleash a lightning spell at the Airdramon.

Ruli nodded. Getting out the lyre harp as she began to chant the musical spell.

"🎶Oh spirits of protection. I compel thy to heard my summoning melody. We seek your aid in this fight, please shield us with your sacred light.

🎶Often thy power to keep our party safe. Keep the tempations of evil at bay. Cast away evil and those scared of the goddess's light. Give your protection. Oh spirits of divine light🎶"

There the light wisps that hear the magic spell came to provide them with sacred protection. Blessing each with a kiss that would prevent any one from getting hurt by status or curses. Reduce injuries as well as make their defenses stronger than diamond chromo digizoid.

"Good going Ruli! Now we can fight these guys without any problems!" Jellymon thanked the female tamer. Now she can zap theses overgrown lizards without any problems!

Ruli smiled. Finally she was doing her part to help her friends! Maybe she is a Digi Destinies worthy of her title after all!

The group noticed that her true smile returned but right now they had some digimon to stop. Oooh this will be very delightful!

Jellymon used her new stealth skills as a Rouge to sneak up on one of the Airdramon, then she shot it down with an arrow enfused with some of her own electricity.

Angoramon used "Double Lariat" to knock out two of them that had plunged down for a charge assault. It seems the madness caused them to lose the ability to think clearly as well.

Then again it seems likey they were fighting fellow rookie digimon and not the champion dragons he knew he was facing. It could be the result of using "Melody of Protection".....or they were planning something.

Solisamon tried to shoot one down by using "Scattered Zaps" expect hitting one proved to be far too difficult. Airdramon are known for their speeds yet this is like trying to use a turtle to chase after a cheetah. Near impossible. It was really starting to frustrate her!

"Stay still!" She growled. Her eyes growing red while the pupils morphed into the shape of stars.

That's right child. Get angry and give into the desire to smite down your foes. Show all the true power that you have been kept in check. NO MORE holding back. Surely those who challenge you can take it.

Solisamon growled before summon her sword. Airdramon wanted to hurt the parties and innocent that lived in this verse...It was her duty to keep the verses safe. Threats like him do not deserve a second chance.....Digimon like him should be DELETED!

The thought of deleting a fellow digimon without just reason had always been a sickening thought to Solisamon. Always believing that digimon deserved a second chance and can change for the better. Everyone should be given that special chance.

Lately that belief seems to be growing lost to the "Pure" Attribute digimon. It disgusted her at how many digimon were hurting others to prove their might or just to bully others into submission! It seemed that all the chances she gives them have been for not! Like that has been a whole waste of time like the whispers in her ear have been telling her!

This new voice may just be right! It seems like her ways of helping are not cutting it anymore! She is DONE with being the multiversal friendly hero that seems to be walked all over! NO MORE NICE GIRL! No more being a semi pascifist! She is putting a stop to this!

Solisamon was ready to do the terrible act when Kiyoshiro beat her to it.

"I call upon Zeus might to heed my call! The spirits of elements are need to dispel this evil before me. Clouds above grant me the power of lightning so I can stop the flying terrors before us. Rank 2 Digital Magic: Neon Phantom  Twin Lightning Lance!"

The lances impaled all three Airdramon wings which pin them firmly into the ground. Struggling would only cause them to rip their wings clean off.

Solisamon shook her head violent to get her mind off that strange trance she was in. How could she ever think to hurt a fellow digimon....? That is not her way...Not her way at all....

This new voice is much more scarier than the voice of the End Bringer. Just her voice has the hypnotic effect of making Solisamon completely listen to her words. If Kiyoshiro had not acted....then she would have shamed Milday who held such a strong faith in her. She should hurry up in Luxmon rescue then go home.

She must clear her mind of this. The verses needed her help. They are her main priority! She has to be strong mentally as well as physical to hold on to the title of "Multiverse Hero".

Ruli herself seem to be wondering about the voice that lingered in her own mind. How it went from criticizing to actually complimenting her. It seemed like she was finally getting on it's good side till it went back to criticizing.

"You could not have done more for your allies? The "Melody of Protection" did help them. Though you were also given songs of magical attacks, why did you not continue to support from there! Even that Spineless coward is doing what he can to help. Even simply throwing sand in the reptiles eyes would have been enough! You certainly have a long way to go from the helpless damsel. What shall you do when your friends are not there to hold your hand? You must use the courage in your heart to call upon the warrior spirit within you! If not, then it may lead to your ultimate downfall" The voice seemed to express a bit more worry than before. Could it have been trying to help her past this so called test within her heart.

Best to go to the final floor while they still had control of their minds. The goddess blessing of "Mental Cleansing" is needed in case Examon has a trap set. Please hang on a tiny bit longer Luxmon. Help is just around the corner and one long  stairway down.

Cyberdramon used the camoflauge to prevent being detected. His master ordered him to get the jump on them while they were preoccupied with their battle against Examon. Then nothing would get in the way of acquiring "Pure" attribute that would make him unstoppable.

His master rebelled against those foolish excuse of those "Royal Knights" that constantly fail to keep the Digital World. Having to rely on adventurer parties to save the world from the various threats in the depths of  the dugeons core. The dungeons gave the former knight a new form of strength, even changed his mind set to see the truth in this world.

To take down the "Pure Clarity of Holy Stars" would strengthen his strength beyond all the megas known to digital kind.

Soon it would come to reality! That and he would crush these foolish pests that claimed to be Digi Destinies.

The last floor of the dugeon had the most omnious feeling that it made each step taken feel as cold as a raging blizzard. It also had a fiery warmth that could resembled the feeling of being trapped in a one thousand degree oven. The cavern like walls were coated in dark brown roots which were riddled in neon blue data bits. Many digimon were lost in the battle against Examon draconic rage.

"Geez...Examon must really not have any decorative sense if he lives in a dreary place like this..." Ruli could see why Angoramon and Jellymon were scared to confront him now.

"Made me wish that I can use teleportion spells...." Kiyoshiro gulped, keeping himself behind Jellymon.

Looks like Kiyoshiro excitement about a fantasy world had been snuffed out and overwhelmed by his fear of Examon.

Bokomon gave them insight on digimon from time to time in case there were times that they were alone without their digimon partners. Examon was considered a Holy figure that was a part of the "Royal Knights", one of the greatest protectors of the Digital World. Even if there was the sketchy history of them joining the forces of evil for the benefit of all digimon..... He is the largest and destructive of all digimon known to exist. Kiyoshiro shuddered at the thought if Examon was infected by the GRB and was apart of the army that Gulusgammamon was making.

That day would surely ended with all of them meeting their demise. However if the threat was that severe....why had they not appeared to stop it?

Solisamon could sense Luxmon light signature close by, it was faint but....she was still alive! Soon they were in an opened cavern hall that had the small angel digimon there. She looked as if she would become a digitama with how she was fluxing between life and death. Beside her were five digitamas that were dark grey that to the three horrors....held no life signature.

"Luxmon!" Solisamon wasted no time and rushed to her dying friend. Already chanting the healing spell to restore the life force that was lost.

"C-clarity?" She asked weakily. "R...run...It's a trap..."

Cyberdramon grabbed youngest before any of them had time to react. Having his grip tightly around her throat that would prevent escape and not killed her.

"Solisamon! Let her go!" Ruli rushed over to her rescue with Angoramon ready to give him a "Petit Tornado" in the face.

"Tsukiyono san! Angoramon! Look out!" Kiyoshiro called out just as he was preparing to cast a force field spell. A giant push from a claw knocked him and Jellymon knock into a wall.

"Kiyoshiro! Jellymon!" Angoramon turned to his friends who fell unconscious from the impact. Though the large breathing from above made the data in his being freeze up.

"GRRRR" The figure descended from the shadows that cloak the large figure. The dull red scales and golden yellow orbs that leaked out glitch data.

It was actually him....the one they had tried to avoid from confronting in the beginning. The dragon digimon who holds the title of "Dragon Emperor" and is equiped with the high end tools that hold destructive power. It  seemed to be like facing the apocalyptic monster that you would face in a "End of the World" game. Just the glimpse of his Chrome Digizoid wings are enough to make digimon turn tail. Face to Face?......Death was guarantee..

"We only need the "Pure Clarity" alive for now. Master would much rather delete you unneeded wastes of space" Cyberdramon spoke for Examon who had lost the ability from recieving the dungeon's power. He was a tad annoyed how Solisamon was trashing in his arms to break free.

Angoramon took an uneasy gulp as he put himself in front of Ruli. He would stay true to his words even if he had NO change of surviving. He will never stop protecting her! Not only as her partner but as one of her closest friends!

"Again it seems like the digimon will lay down his life to keep you safe. I understand that your are not useless. You have a brilliant mind and have a kind heart child. You only need the courageous battle spirit that can allow you to protect those you care about. Speak to him. Sync your hearts togetger as one" Seems like the voice and her heart seem to be on agreement right now.

"Angoramon! Let me fight together with you! I refuse to sit by while you die fighting to keep me safe! I can help! I held my own in fighting against you when you were all under Morphomon influence! Figured out how to partner swap when Kiyoshiro angered Frozomon. Figured out where to find you when you were controlled by that cursed blade. You have shown me how to be more understanding and to think things through when things become overwhelming....Now I wish to protect you as you have vowed to protect me. We are partners! That means we fight as one!" Ruli walked to stand side by side next to Angoramon. Her face expressing unwavering determination.

"Ruli....You are still so stubborn...but that is one of the things that makes you unique. This is just so like you" He could not help but smiled to that. Even in the face of absolute danger in the presence of a corrupted Examon before them.

There Ruli VR digivice glew as a sybol flashes on the screen several times. The voice seemed pleased for the first time since she started to heard them. It seems that they had just became friends for the first time.

"Finally you sparked that courageous spirit that I knew sensed dwelling deep within you. It seems that the damsel who needed to be protected to the one ready to lay down her own life to keep those she loves safe. A strong willed child that may need disciplined guidance but you already have taken the bold first step. May the two of us become one as you walk a mile through the shoes of the legendary lady samurai of the all digital history! Call thy name young warrior! Take upon my weapon that has served me through many tough battles! My name is....."

Ruli shut her eyes as she could feel a hidden part of herself that has been with her long before she could have ever realized. A hidden part of her that was inside of her long before she first opened her eyes.

"Let's dance in the way of the sword, Oryctomumon" There the identity of the voice has been revealed! Now it was time for her to make a long awaited debut.

Solisamon diamond pattern on her forehead glew so bright that it early blinked Cyberdramon to drop her. Sadly the dragon grip was like being restricted by steel coils.

"Ah. It would seem that a warrior from long ago is ready to step into the modern day era . Graceful in her foot work and highly skilled with the nagista made by one of the first Creator Gods. A warrior that follows the code of the samurai and has won thousands of battles because of it! Quick as the rabbit that she based on her own armor on. Come join in the glory of battle and protect those who can not protect themselves in the battles ahead. Oryctomumon, it is time for you to fight once again!" Milady voice echoed in their heads while a new evo allowed a digimon to comeback as a biomerge.

"Biomerge activate!" There Ruli hear became one with Angoramon. Giving both the chance to fight alongside each other.

Time for the evolutionary sequence!

There was a young girl who seemed lost in a war where each side only valued bloodshed instead of protecting the innocent. The sounds of the helpless are like a wake up call to her ears. The young girl picks up a nagista and begans to fight against all who raise their weapon at the weak, those who do not have the means to defend themselves! Soon Ruli is in the place of the young girl, Angoramon is appears by her side while the two fight. Watching each other's back. Then a powerful enemy approaches them with twin katanas ready to slash their heads clean off. Just before the blades come down, a new digimom takes their place. Deflecting and destroying the katanas into blade shards. Two souls that would do everything in their power to keep one another and those she love safe.

In a swift calculated strike, Cydramon was struck down by a nagista staff which was pink adored with gold engravings. Solisamon grabbed by the figure that stood where Ruli and Angoramon were at.

"Who are you?" Solisamon asked. Stunned by the humaiod digimon before her in pink samurai armor modeled around the animal the rabbit.

Oryctomumon stood tall at nine foot in traditional bright pink plated armor that had a helmet which resembled rabbit ears. The helmet concealed her entire face except for her magenta pink eyes. Underneath the armor was a red kimono that had golden diamond designs casting down diagonally. A silver waistband tied firmly around her waist in a ribbon like bow.  Long brown hair that casted down her back in a long spiral style braid. She wore two silver armbands to cover her arms from enemy attacks. Pink tabi were on her feet which were accompanied by red waraji. Her prime weapon was a sacred nagista which had a curved blade made out of Titanium Chrome Digizoid. The pole made out of a hard wood which was decorated in golden decorations. A green silk wrapping grip was tied in the middle of the pole.

"Hello child. I am Oryctomumon, a lady samurai who will protect all those in need of protection" She then pushed Solisamon behind her. "Stay back. I shall end this promptly. She twirled her nagista as she walked to Examon.

The fear from earlier was wiped out. Now the only think standing in her way was an overgrown lizard that lost all of his sanity. Examon when to lunge at her with an "Ambrose Strike".

Oryctomumon tapped her nagista to the ground two times. Vines sprouted instantly, tying up Examon in a ribbon like bow style. Releasing blasts of muscle relaxant pollen that would keep Examon from making any drastic moves.

"You DO NOT hurt my friends. The "Royal Knight" you once were is gone. Now I shall rid you of this plane of existence!" Her nagista became blessed with a coating of blue moonlight. She unleashed a powerful energy slash that completely severed the chrome digizoid wings like a hot knife through butter.

Examon growled in anger as well as agonizing pain as he struggled to conjure strength to pick himself back up.

"Be silent beast! No more will you slaughtered the innocent for proof of your strength. You have abandoned the path of your duties and allow your mind to fall into corruption! It is time to recieve thou judgement" Oryctomumon rose up in the air as she pointed her nagista between Examon eyes.

"Visualis Colpo!" She started to attack from an angle then warped to another  angle before she slash his right arm. Does it multiple times till all that remained of Examon was neon data bits.

Oryctomumon floated back to the ground, turning back to the human girl and a Pyonmon nuzzled cozy in her arms.

"Now we are a going to protect each other from now on" She smiled happily and kissed Pyonmon on his forehead.

This day the warrior spirit awoken within one soul and the evil temptations of a dark soul has stirred up in another. Each has a unique destiny waiting in store.
