"There are random portals everywhere, perhaps one will bound to appear... hopefully."

@leopardmon@

As the group traversed through the dark area, Leopardmon kept hearing cries of agony around him, albeit faint ones. "Sheesh... this whole place reminds me of a prison."

Lucifer was trotting closely to Leopardmon, fearfullly looking around him.

@dynasmon@

"You know..." He muttered, feeling the black walls with narrowed eyes. "It does remind me of an ancient legend of something... but I can't remember..."

[Alien-Child]

@craniumon@
"A dark place with the crying, to what tale would that be of?"

[YolkaEd]

"...my dad used to tell me stories..." Lucifer began, as he held onto Leopardmon's arm. "Scary stories... about a place like this."

@leopardmon@

"What kind of stories?" Leopardmon inquired.

"...well, there were a lot of people who were thrown in a dark place... people who wanted to overthrow the evil king..." Lucifer said, as he closed his eyes. "...but they didn't suceed, and they were locked away... forever."

@leopardmon@

"...so that was some form of prison?" Leopardmon mused, before shuddering. "I'd hate to meet the jailer..."

[Ninetalesuk]

@dynasmon@

"If that's true, then we must have ended up in some sort of prison owned by humans... we're not in the Digital World, but a human world..."

[Alien-Child]

@craniumon@
"Humans made this? Then what kind of real world did we landed where they can crafte such a horrid realm?"

[YolkaEd]

@leopardmon@

"I dunno... but the sooner we get out of here, the-" Leopardmon began, when all of a sudden, they heard some form of laughter. "...did you guys hear that?"

[Ninetalesuk]

@dynasmon@

He glanced around. "Laughter? Who would laugh down here? Someone driven insane?"

[Alien-Child]

@craniumon@
"I wouldn't be surprise. And the longer we stay here, the soon we might join it."

[YolkaEd]

@leopardmon@

"...yeah, I think we ought to get a move on." Leopardmon said.

"...wait." Lucifer said, as he tugged on Leopardmon's arm. "Someone's coming."

@leopardmon@

"...someone? Who?"

"Now what do we have here...?" they suddenly heard a dark voice laugh.

[Ninetalesuk]

@dynasmon@

He whirled around, trying to locate the source of the voice. "Who's there?!"

[Alien-Child]

@craniumon@
"Show yourself!"

[YolkaEd]

In that instant, something appeared before the knights.



"Royal Knights... what an unusual sight in our humble abode!"

@leopardmon@

"A MetalPhantomon?!" Leopardmon uttered. "Then this really is a Digital World!"

Seeing the MetalPhantomon, Lucifer quickly hid as best he could behind Leopardmon.

[Ninetalesuk]

@dynasmon@

He cracked his knuckles. "Then... it makes sense... MetalPhantomon, have you kidnapped this poor child away from his parents?! If so, then I'll swear to make you pay for your cruel act!"

[Alien-Child]

@craniumon@
"What is this realm?" He points a blade at the skeleton, "It makes sense that a being like you will thrive here, being a prison. But why are you here?"

[YolkaEd]

@metalphantomon@

"One question at a time." MetalPhantomon said, as he chuckled. "This place is called the Dark Area, a prison for the most vile of demons and fallen angels known to Digimon."

@leopardmon@

"And why are you here, then?" Leopardmon inquired, as he had drawn his own blade as well.

@metalphantomon@

"Why, I am the harvester." MetalPhantomon laughed. In a place like this, the inhabitants either go mad, or plead for mercy. I bring mercy, but I also bring death."

[Ninetalesuk]

@dynasmon@

"Dark Area?" He muttered. "Why does that sound so familiar? Where have I heard it before?!"

[Alien-Child]

@craniumon@
"A prison for fallen angels and demons... you mean, like a digimon hell?"

[YolkaEd]

@metalphantomon@

"I suppose you could call it that..." MetalPhantomon said. "...in any case, though I am curious as to how Royal Knights ended up here, I seek no conflict with you. In fact, I will gladly show you the exit."

@leopardmon@

"...really?" Leopardmon uttered, as he tilted his head. "That's... actually pretty convenient? What's the catch?"

@metalphantomon@

"There is no catch." MetalPhantomon said. "You are not prisoners, so therefore, you don't belong here to begin with. However..." Then, he pointed his scythe at Leopardmon, or more specifically, Lucifer, who was still hiding behind the knight. "...the boy cannot come with you."
