A guild day out, that's what Adam had planned for his rag tag family of his. He recently had three new members in Kazuki, Vayne and Melody with their digimon. The three were vastly different but all good people. After gathering up a backpack full of supplies and another backpack full of food for the group. He discussed the plan with his guild already knowing Kazuki was game for it. Before getting ready, Adam put a black and white hooded trench coat on Vayne's bed and a Red and gold hooded trench coat on Melody's bed. Both coats had the Guilds Symbol on the back. After sending all three of his friends a message of where they were going and they all got ready the group set out.
After about an hour of travel, the group arrived at what looked like a bunch of Anchient temples. Koe,Terry and Ace quickly gave the Area a once over determaining it was safe. Adam then turned to his guild members with a smile clapping his hands together.
"Okay gang, these are the ruins of the temple of the digivice. This is where the very first Tamers, then known as the "digi-destined"s digimon's eggs, digivices and crests were kept before their arrival. They were the first ever humans to ever be brought to the digital world. This temple has been like this for god knows how long. It's only inhabitant is a single centaurumon who tells stories to travelers. We have to be careful however because there might still be some booby traps."
Adam grinned at this fact like he just saw the danger as a challenge. He turned from his group, Koe by his side with one of the backpacks on his back, the other on adam's. Ace sat on Adam's shoulder, Terry hopped off of Adam's shoulder and hopped into Kazuki's arms as Adam started into the temples. Terry smiled.
"I'm so excited, are you excited Kazuki?"

Kazuki had been anxious for the trip since she had heard they were going. She was practically jumping up and down with glee and excitement.
"Excited? Excited? Excited is an understatement! I'm practically HYPE for this!" Kazuki replied, bouncing and bobbing as she spoke. Rai rolled his eyes at his Tamer's antics.
"Kazuki, do settle down. You're going to wrinkle that lovely new trench coat of yours." Rai warned his Tamer. Unfortunately, the Agumon's words fell on deaf ears as Kazuki continued to bounce up and down. He sighed and decided to leave Kazuki be; if she messed up her jacket, it was on her and not him. He had warned her, after all.
"Oh, Rai...don't be such a spoilsport! Have a sense of adventure! These ruins are just awesome! Oh but if you're worried about the booby-traps, you can hide behind me. I have the faster reflexes for this kind of thing." Kazuki replied with a smirk. Rai looked absolutely offended and 'humphed', getting a shrug from Kazuki.

Vayne and digimon kept quiet and collective for most of the journey, with Vayne himself wearing the trench coat closed and tied with no shirt underneath like usually did. He did have to admit that Kazuki was a pretty girl, but her overexcited attitude of this adventure disinterested him especially when he came here before and found absolutely nothing of interest. Vayne however, made sure to digivolve both of his digimon to the highest level he could achieve at this point before they left. In this case, Marcus was now a Were Garurumon X and Kratos was a Death Meramon. "Why are we returning here? There was nothing here when we came with Sera." Marcus stated in confusion and pulled the words right out of Vayne's mouth. |

Melody had arrived to the rendezvous point a little late although it was not her intention to be late.
"Yo! Sorry I'm late. Waking up Matrix was difficult, even with ARIEL's help. Did ya miss me?" she asked before smirking and answering her own question.
"Oh wait, of course you did. I'm the one who brings the party with my awesomeness, anyway." she said. Matrix rolled her eyes and followed her Tamer. The Hackmon was used to Melody's jokes now but they still sometimes irritated her.
"Could you please be humble for once?" Matrix asked her Tamer who merely shrugged and smoothed out her trench coat's collar.
"Humble? I'm afraid the word's not in my dictionary." Melody replied with a smirk. Matrix groaned before deciding to ignore Melody when she heard one of Vayne's partners, Marcus, ask Adam why they were here if they'd already searched the place.
"You've been to these ruins before? What's the point in coming back here again if ya didn't find anything?" Matrix said, practically restating Marcus' statement. Melody just shook her head as though Matrix were a lost cause.
"Oh, my dear Matrix...don't you get it? It's elementary. The first reason is simple; one of us wanted to go see these ruins. I'd say that was probably Kazuki. Second: the others might have overlooked something inside the ruins. It's always best to double-check anything."

Adam smiled as most of his guild arrived, even if one was late. He then nodded when Melody answered Marcus's and Matrix's question for him. He then smiled as he saw how happy Kazuki was and walked back a bit to join the group cluster nodding.
"Melody is right on both counts. Kazuki really wanted to come here and to be honest so did I but for a few different reasons. I had never been here before and I have heard great things. This is where it all began guys! We are standing where the original heroes of the digital world once stood! I even have one of the legendary 8 crests!"
Adam then held up his crest of friendship but once he looked at his friends he knew someone special was missing, his precious Juliette. He put on a brave smile however and kept on.
"I also wanted to come here because of a legend I heard. I once heard that deep deep in the temple are eight doors that can only be opened by holders of the eight legendary crests. The doors are hidden but two members of the guild have the legendary crests, myself and another member who couldn't make it. Her name is Juliette Silva. She is the holder of the crest of Kindness."
After Adam finished, Terry snickered and laughed before leaning over close to Kazuki's ear and whispered.
"Juliette is Adam's giiiirl friend. He's bummed cause she couldn't make it."
Koe then stepped up next to Adam and cleared his throat.
"Another reason Adam gathered you all together for this trip is because ever since the original guild line up had to split up, we have not all been together so he thought it would be a good bonding experience. Plus since Melody and Kazuki love learning things, we thought that maybe Melody could gather some useful data, and Kazuki could enjoy the temple guardians stories. As for you Vayne, we just thought it would be nice if you met some of our friends."
Adam and Ace Nodded, Ace then scurried over to Melody hopping onto her shoulder quickly whispering to Melody.
"Mind sending sending our positions to Juliette in case she wants to show?"
Ace then hopped back over to Adam and the spunky monkey boy took off running excitedly along with Ace and Koe, Terry still being on Kazuki's shoulder.

Kazuki listened excitedly to Adam speak about the ruins. She had known the ruins were of special importance to the Digital World but hadn't figured that they were related to the legend of the original DigiDestined.
"Oh, this is so exciting! I can't wait to see what's inside!" she muttered, getting a smile from Rai as well. He was happy that she was happy so he nodded. When Adam held up his crest, Kazuki and Rai stared at it in awe. Their eyes twinkled with delight.
"It's beautiful." Rai said as he stared at the crest. He was completely taken in by it until Adam spoke again and brought him back to reality.
"Wait, if we only have one person with a crest present, we can only open one door." Kazuki pointed out. When Terry whispered that Juliette was Adam's girlfriend, she giggled a little. She couldn't help it; that was adorable. She grinned when Adam jet off excitedly for the ruins. Deciding to follow him, she shouted, "Last one there is a rotten DigiEgg!"

Vayne had no intention to loose to a bubbly girl so easily, so he ran as fast as he could to the entrance and stopped when he came to a hall with 9 symbols evenly spaced along the walls, a part of the ruins that he had not seen before. "Uhhh... Am I lost?" Vayne asked himself as he somehow got himself separated from the group. In addition, something caught his eye; a cross surrounded by four triangles and a high pitched hum filled his ears, although no one else could hear it as Vayne was hypnotized by the humming as the crest on the wall started to glow faintly. |

Melody jumped slightly when Ace suddenly jumped to her shoulder but nodded to what he said. She looked rather tense but input the coordinates in her phone and had ARIEL send them to Juliette. Melody then rolled her eyes when Adam, Kazuki and Vayne all jet off for the temple but smirked.
"They think that they can beat me? I'm a genius." she said before putting her phone close to her mouth.
"ARIEL, it's time for the motorcycle." she told the AI, getting a "Understood, Ma'am!" from the sentient program. A motorcycle digitized in front of her and she jumped aboard, revving the engine and almost flying toward the temple with incredible speed. She arrived mere seconds before Vayne, he was incredibly quick to be able to almost outrun the Stark Bike, and smirked at him as she got off her motorcycle and it dissipated in a flash of pixels.
"Looks like the genius wins." she said.
Melody then noticed that Matrix had finally caught up and was looking out of breath.
"Please, please, please tell me the next time you decide to use the Stark Bike! I could have degenerated and had you carry me." Matrix huffed in between deep breaths. She was panting and wheezing. Melody just smirked wider.
"But you were complaining how I didn't give you enough exercise." she rebutted and Matrix just sighed. The duo suddenly realized that Vayne had gone off somewhere inside the temple and was most likely lost.
"Great. The kid's lost." Melody sighed with a frown.

Adam just groaned with frustration at Melody and her antics. Adam just looked back at her and Matrix and shook his head with a frown before he quickly got the head of the pack and groaned louder in growing frustration when Melody said that they had already lost Vayne. He just turned to the group rubbing his temples.
"Look, he probably found one of the hidden hallways, he has his digimon with him. He will be fine but from now on everyone stick together that is an order."
Adam then turned his back to the group and began walking down the next long hallway having Ace on his shoulder, keeping Terry with Kazuki and having Koe drop back to be next to Melody that way all three of the remaining members would stay accounted for. As he walked, Adam spotted a door in the distance but had to stop because in front of the group was a giant wide pit filled with spikes. At the end of the pit however was a stone bridge that was raised but had a lever next to it. Adam looked around for a moment before noticing that the cieling had two stone horizantal poles sticking from it. Adam looked back at his group with a smile and a cocky smirk at Melody.
"You may have your fancy bits and bobs but let me show you what actual skill can get you Stark."
Adam then stepped back from the pit removing his back pack and his jacket in front of the group for the first time showing his rather chizzled muscle frame. He sat his things in front of Kazuki and stretched for a moment.
"Be right with you guys."
Adam then broke into a fast run and jumped quickly grabbing onto the first bar doing an acrobat summersalt over to the second bar and then over to the lever landing next to it. Just to show off he pulled the Lever lowering the bridge and kicking it jamming it down. He then walked back over to Kazuki and the others putting his coat and backpack back on before heading to the first door.
"Let's see your gadgets do that."
Adam smirked and all three of his digimon chuckled.
As they continued down the hallway and took a few left turns they were stopped by a another door. This doorway had a bunch of ancient digimon glyphs as if it was trying to spell out a sentence. At the bottom of the door sat stone glyph pieces that fit inside the door but were all jumbled in a pile. Adam looked at the door for a long moment before taking off his backpack and pulling out an old leather bound book that translated the ancient script. He looked his group over before handing the book and the glyph pieces to Kazuki.
"This seems like your type of task. Go for it, I belive in you."
Terry hugged Kazuki's head tight before jumping onto Adam's shoulder to give Kazuki reading room.
"You can do it!"

Kazuki managed to get to the temple before Matrix and Rai and smirked at them. She frowned when she saw the Stark Bike, however, but didn't say anything about it since she hadn't stated that vehicles were 'against the rules' of the race. She frowned even more when Melody explained that they had already lost Vayne. She relaxed some when Adam pointed out that Vayne had his partner Digimon with him. She and Rai followed Adam into the next hallway and gaped upon seeing that spike pit. They gaped even further when Adam got to the other side using some rather great acrobatic skills.
"Whoa. I didn't know you could do that." Kazuki said in amazement as she continued down the hallway with the others. When they reached the doorway, she blinked. Her eyes were sparkling.
"A puzzle!! I love puzzles!" she said excitedly before taking the book and pieces from Adam. Kazuki sat down and opened the book, flipped to a page containing translations for the alphabet before looking at it and the glyph pieces. Rai watched with interest.
"I had no idea you enjoyed these kinds of puzzles so, Kazuki." he said. Kazuki just smirked while continuing to translate the glyphs on the doorway.
"It looks like a riddle. Hold on; I think I got some of it. 'I cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. I lie behind stars and under hills, and empty holes I fill. I come first and follow after, end life, kill laughter.' Talk about ominous."

Vayne eventually broke out of his trance after the bridge came up and retraced his steps to the pathway that the others took and sprinted to the next room and caught wind of the riddle that Kazuki was reciting. The subject of the riddle was something that he was familiar with in one way or another. This was mainly because he walked and mingled in the Twilight as per his own fate. However, he could be very wrong with this puzzle and the wrong answer could be tragic. "I believe the word you are looking for is 'Darkness', Kazuki" Vayne said calmly as his Digimon caught up with him. |

Melody rolled her eyes at Adam's comments.
"Actually, my compadre, I could have done exactly that with my 'gadgets'. I am a genius." she said before following the group to the next area. She cocked a brow at the glyphs on the doorway; she had researched some of the script a few days ago but not enough to completely understand what was written. Melody decided to let Kazuki translate it; she had a feeling that the girl needed to solve this one. As soon as Kazuki had finished translating the script and relayed it to the others, Melody had figured it out. Unfortunately, Vayne blurted it out before she had a chance to give a small hint to Kazuki. She glared at him.
"Welcome back to the group, kid. Next time, do us a favor and don't get yourself lost." Melody told him. She was rather disappointed that Kazuki didn't get a chance to even think about the answer to the riddle.
"You're right though; the answer is darkness. Of course, this riddle may be referring to not merely darkness, but a Digimon of darkness. I already have a feeling of which one but I'm afraid I'd like Kazuki to try and figure it out." Melody said. Matrix looked at her Tamer with a cocked brow. It wasn't like Melody to let someone else shine.

Adam smirked at Kazuki as he looked at her and Rai's astonished expression at his acrobat skills. He just chuckled and leaned against a wall crossing his arms rolling his eyes at both Vayne and Melody for separate reasons. Adam just looked at Vayne with a curious but smooth gaze.
"Find anything interesting while we have been unlocking the way to the main chamber? We should only have one or two more doors left until we reach our destination."
Adam then looked at Marcus and Kratos, Vayne's digimon and then at Vayne again before looking at the whole group.
"Vayne, you should have Marcus and Kratos be extra careful when we reach the Temples main room. Centarumon might see them as a threat if they arn't careful. As for the rest of us, no hostile movements. No trying to take anything,take it apart. I brought paper and pens along with drawing stuff if we want to copy stuff down. We can't remove ANYTHING from this place. It is sacred like..a digimon version of a church."
Adam then looked down at his three digimon.
"As for you three, no digivolving."
Koe,Terry and Ace all nodded respectfully. Adam then walked over and crouched next to Kazuki but didn't look at her as he spoke.
"Answer these two questions to reach our goal. When it is hot outside, where do you go sit to cool off? What do all digimon names have in common. These two answers combined will lead you to the path we need."
Adam then patted Kazuki's shoulder. He knew the answer was Shademon but he wanted to give the most enthusiastic member of the group her time to shine. Adam stood straight up again and pulled out his digivice.
"I have a feeling that Centarumon will ask to see our digivices. When he does, do not hesitate to show them to him. I have been thinking about the nine doors of the heroes. You guys may not have crests but you may not need them. The crests are just physical reprisentations of attributes that are strongest inside of each of us. For me, Friendship. Kazuki I think Courage is your door. Melody, Knowledge belongs to you. Vayne You are reliability. Sadly the barer of kindness is not here but that's okay. If my theory is right then we should be able to open up four doors."
Terry gently nudged Kazuki and begin twirling and making kissy faces at Adam when he mentioned Juliette again and then fell over laughing.
"The big tough leader man is in looooove."
Ace nodded and decided to join in on the teasing.
"Oh he's been bitten by the love bug hard."
Koe then snickered.
"He loves her more then I love bananas."
All three digimon then began to hum "Kiss the girl" from the little Mermaid causing Adam to blush hard pulling up his hood to hide it.
"Oh be quiet.."

Kazuki was focusing rather intently when Adam's reply caught her attention. She thought about the questions for a few seconds before nodding and beginning to place some of the glyphs in the doorway. Rai watched in awe.
"The answer...it's Shademon." Kazuki said as she finished placing the last of the glyphs in the slots. Once the last glyph was placed properly, the image of a shadow-like Digimon appeared in the doorway before vanishing and allowing them all to enter the room.
"Y'know...I could have done it even without all of your hints!" she said with a pout. She didn't like it when other people gave her some of the answer; it made the challenge less enjoyable.

"Ah, I see... Marcus, Kratos, I'm going to have to turn you guys back into rookies just this once." Vayne said to his partners calmly as he got a nod of agreement from Marcus, and Kratos acted frustrated, but approved none-the-less as a bright yellow light surrounded Marcus and a dark black one surrounded Kratos, turning Marcus into a Salamon X and Kratos into a DemiDevimon. It also wasn't long until Kazuki became frustrated from the hints even though she figured it out herself. "I'm sorry Kazuki, next time I'll let you figure it out on your own." Vayne apologized to Kazuki in hopes of righting his own wrong. |
