Chapter 44: Enter Witchelny

Taylor had just received some news from her father. The two of them were standing in the living room of their house. "What!? What do you mean I have to go to Summer School?" Taylor asked. Evander shrugged. "Well, I mean, you have missed a lot while you were at World For Us All HQ. I mean, I know it's not your fault. So much has happened in such a short amount of time that you really didn't have time for the education system they had set up for you over there." Evander said. Taylor sighed. "I guess I should have seen this coming. I have been gone for a while." Taylor said. "I thought you liked learning. That brain of yours is probably bigger than mine." Evander said. "I do like learning. What I don't like is stressful mandatory cramming." Taylor said. "Understandable." Evander said.

In Japan, at most schools, summer vacation covers 40-odd days from July 20th to August 31st. Taylor had started her adventure as a Digidestined in April and it was now nearing mid-July, when her summer vacation would start. So much for living in the ocean for a month. This was the case at Arai Elementary, where Taylor, Martin, and Drusilla attended.

Suddenly, the screen on the TV behind them came on seemingly all by itself! The image of SorcererSuprememon was on the screen. "Evander! Taylor!" SorcererSurpememon said. The father and daughter turned around to see the red headed womanly Digimon inside the image of the screen. "SorcererSuprememon?" Evander said with a surprised look on his face. "That's SorcererSuprememon?" Taylor observed. SorcererSuprememon nodded her head. "I am, child. I am the first Digimon partner of any Digidestined of this universe." She said. "What are you doing in our TV?" Taylor asked. "Virtually everything you own is connected to the internet. I had a wide range of options available to manifest myself before you from the Digital World. By the way, Evander, you really should stop streaming 'Mermaids Gone Wild' while your wife is away." SorcererSuprememon said. Taylor slowly turned her head and gave her father a very judgmental look. Evander's face went red and he rubbed the back of her head. "I have no idea what she's talking about." Evander said. "Mmmhmm." Taylor hummed in a skeptical tone.

Sharkmon, Agumon, Terriermon, and Ladybugmon came downstairs. They were upstairs playing together and had come downstairs to get some snacks. "Do we have any more potato chips? I love potato chips?" Sharkmon asked. He was behind the other three. "Sorry, I ate the whole bag last night." Agumon replied. Sharkmon stopped in his tracks, his eyes widened in shock. "The whole bag!? Why didn't you save me some!?" Sharkmon exclaimed. Agumon stopped running, turned back to face Sharkmon, smiled nervously, and then rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry, Sharkmon." He said. Terriermon pointed in the direction of the TV. "Hey, look! It's SorcererSuprememon!" Terriermon said. Agumon, Terriermon, and Sharkmon began waving at the TV. "Oh! Hi, SorcererSuprememon!" Agumon said. "What's shakin' baby? I heard that on TV last night." Sharkmon said. SorcererSuprememon smiled and waved. "Hello, little ones." She said.

Ladybugmon smiled and did a couple of loops flying in mid-air. He then giggled slightly. "You're that pretty lady who helped me and Evander become EntoGallantmon. Have you come to bring us a message or something?" Ladybugmon asked. SorcererSurpememon nodded. "I have. After two long days of arguing with the Witchelny Council, they have agreed to let me admit you into Witchelny. I want you to come and prepare for the final battle to take place tomorrow." She said. Ladybugmon put his hand up to his face and tilted his head. "Admit us? What does that mean?" He asked. Taylor looked over at his father's inscectoid Digimon and raised a finger. Evander smiled and chuckled a little. His baby girl was about to go full blown lecture mode. "Witchelny is a pocket dimension within the Digital World. Not much is known about it because not many people or Digimon have entered there, either because they couldn't find the entrance or because they couldn't get past the magical barrier put up to keep people out. Some Digimon have traveled from Witchelny to the Digital World such as Wizardmons who have been, but not always have been, banished. Witchmon is another example of a Digimon who came from Witchelny. SorcererSuprememon is the queen of Witchelny, so without her help, we'd probably never find a way in there." Taylor explained. She put her finger down. She figured she ought to stop before someone gagged her from going on too long as is usually the case. Ladybugmon tilted his head in the other direction, a look of confusion still upon his face. "But if she's the queen, why did she need to argue with a council?" Ladybugmon asked. SorcererSuprememon stepped out of the TV and into the living room. Her magic spellbook was in a satchel around her waist, and her staff was in her right hand. SorcererSuprememon looked over to Ladybugmon and explained; "While I am Witchelny's queen, I do not have absolute authority. To prevent anyone from becoming a dictator, things must be decided by a council. I have the final say of whether a motion carries through, but if I don't have the majority vote, it would be an abuse of power if I carried through."

"That's a bit different from Aqualia's monarchy." came a voice. Everyone turned around to see that Jessica had come down the stairs with her Digimon partners. "Jessica? How long have you been standing there?" Evander asked. Jessica was wearing a sky blue t-shirt, a dark blue, long sleeved jacket, and blue jeans. She had her wedding ring on her white hand, and she was wearing green wrist bands. "Long enough to hear that we're taking a trip to Witchelny." Jessica replied. Taylor smirked as her eyes rolled over in Evander's direction, but her face did not deviate from Jessica's direction. "But not long enough to hear what Dad's been stre-" Evander put his hand over Taylor's mouth. "Silly little mermaid! You almost spoiled your mother's birthday surprise!" He said before giving off nervous laughter. Jessica's eyebrows furrowed in suspicion.

Gabumon looked over in the kitchen and saw that Sharkmon and Agumon were getting into the cabinets. "Where are those cookies Jessica bought yesterday?" Agumon asked as he moved stuff around. "Oh, those? I ate them all yesterday." Sharkmon said. Agumon turned to him with a horrified look. "You…ate them….ALL!?!!? HOW COULD YOU?!" Agumon exclaimed. Sharkmon smiled and laughed. "Hahaha! Now we're even!" Sharkmon taunted. Agumon clenched his fists and growled. Gabumon took a few steps in their direction. "Hey! Cut it out, you two! We have serious Digimon Partner stuff that needs taking care of!" Gabumon said, scolding them almost like a parent. Agumon and Sharkmon stopped looking at each other so angrily. They turned to face Gabumon and bowed, saying "We're sorry." in unison. Gabumon looked over to SorcererSuprememon and asked. "Do the other Digidestined know about this yet?" SorcererSuprememon nodded. "Yes. In fact, I am informing the Soleman, Gray, and Liberty households right now…through my clones."

SorcererSuprememon has the ability to make multiple copies of herself through a magical incantation that she herself invented. She could make up to 50 clones on a bad day and 100 clones on a good day. With this, if she couldn't overpower her enemies with her attacks, she could overwhelm them with sheer numbers. And when the clones disappeared and were reabsorbed into the original, the collective mental experiences of the clones became known by the original. Somehow, the Demon Lord Barbamon learned this attack and used it in his fight against The Elemental Four. SorcererSurprememon suspected that this meant Warlockmon was still alive as he was the only one she had passed the spell down to so far. She certainly wasn't the one to teach that magic to Barbamon. SorcererSuprememon had made a lot of clones this day, as she was telling multiple members of World For Us All the same thing she had told the Glovion residence.

Evander's group and Taylor's group all rendevouzed in the Digital World. They were in a big boat out in the middle of the net ocean somewhere. Taylor leaned over the side of the boat and looked down at the water. It looked so inviting. She had been on land for a while now, and even when she could assume her mermaid form, it wasn't for pleasure. The last time she assumed mermaid form was when she and her partner Digimon went into Leviamon's lair to rescue her mother. She just wanted to rip her shirt and shorts off, change her legs into a tail, and dive in. But she knew they weren't here to have some oceanic fun. Jessica smirked as she watched her daughter. She knew what she was thinking. Jessica liked the water too, but not nearly as much as Taylor. Maybe it was because she was unable to assume her own mermaid form for most of her life. She virtually had to pretend to be a human woman for most of her life until the world governments learned of her species a decade ago…when they invaded Earth as part of the corrupted Ophanimon's evil plan. Jessica once heard Evander compare the two to Ariel and Melody from the Disney film. Where the former was a lover of land and the other longed for the sea. The boat continued traveling. No one knew where, except SorcererSuprememon of course. "Are we theeeeeerrreee yeeeeeeeet?" Sharkmon whined. Naturemon stretched out her hands and yawned. "Yeah, are we there yet? I'm so bored I think I'm going to die! I've been on this boat for so long, I might just sprout roots!" Naturemon complained. Martin was sitting right beside his Digimon. He smiled and looked at her. "Well, given your anatomy, I wouldn't be surprised." He said.

SorcererSuprememon turned around and looked at them. She pointed her staff in their direction. "You've asked this of me ten times in the past hour! Do not inquire about this again lest I give you several bonks on the gnoggin!" SorcererSuprememon fussed. Naturemon and Sharkmon flinched. Naturemon then frowned, looked down and started pushing the ends of her index fingers together. "I'm sorry." Naturemon said in a soft tone. "I'm sorry too." Sharkmon said. SorcererSuprememon's expression changed from stern to a smile. "That's better." She turned around and pulled her spellbook out of her pocket. When she opened it, a map with a GPS like system appeared out of the book like a hologram. "We should be arriving soon." She said. Before turning her gaze from her book out into the water. Some Dolphinmon could be seen jumping over the water.

"You guys need to be more patient! Honestly!" Evander said. Zai was sitting next to Evander on the boat. She started elbowing him in the chest with a grin on her face. "If you were 30 years younger, YOU'D be the one making all the complaints." Zai said. Syn the BlackGatomon nodded and giggled. "Yeah, you were the most impatient child in our whole group!" Syn said. Evander grinned and rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, you're right about that." Evander said. Flora stood up, walked over to Evander and put him in a headlock so she could deliver a noogie to him. "You were so impatient about getting on to the next thing that you were a flight risk. You went off on your own at least twice." Flora said. "And you even considered leaving me behind after Wernicus manifested himself for the first time." Mario added. Evander laughed. "Yeah, yeah, I know. But look at how far I've matured since then." Evander said. Flora released Evander from the headlock and looked around at all their children. "We've all matured. I no longer lose my cool…well, at least not as easily. My fuse is longer." Flora said. Martin grimaced. His mother's anger issues used to be WORSE? He shuddered at the thought. Zai pet Syn on the head like a regular pet cat. "And I'm not afraid of showing my feelings anymore. And I believe that true love endures." Zai said. Emily petted Lopmon and grimaced. "Well, my whole thing is I'm not evil anymore. But everyone knew that." She said.

Agumon stood up and walked into the center of the Millennial DigiDestined. "Your Digital World adventures matured you all, sure. But you've all grown even more since then. As a Digimon, watching you all undergo your own 'evolution' has been a pleasant sight to see. Even though I wasn't able to be here for a good chunk of that time." Agumon said.

Sharkmon bounced over to Taylor and looked up at her. "How have you grown?" Sharkmon asked. Taylor put her hand on her mouth and went deep into thought. Had she grown? Emmett smiled, looking over at his mother. "Well, I've grown. I'm not afraid of losing my mother anymore. I mean, I am, but not to the point where it smothers me." He then turned his attention to his bird Digimon partner sitting in his lap. "A good friend of mine told me that if anything were to happen to her, we'd face it together." Emily smiled. She felt like crying. She had known the impact Emmett's father had on his behavior. Emmett had spent the past 5 years constantly by her side, not even having friends his own age. He wanted to cram in as much time with her as he could. He had also openly expressed wanting to protect her. The death of Emmett's father had been that traumatizing to him. Did Dovemon really help him escape the bondage of that fear? And when? Emily decided she would ask him about it later. Emily got up and ran over to Emmett, practically glomping her son. "Oh, Emmett!" She exclaimed.

Drusilla opened her umbrella and used it to shield herself from the sunlight, not that she really needed to. As a Devillian, Earth's and The Digital World's suns were so weak that she and her mother gained pale light gray skin from under exposure to adequate sunlight. But she wanted to do the Gothic Lolita thing. "I grew to not care so much about what others think of me. I was so hesitant to wear the current outfit I'm wearing - the one my Dad bought me before I went to World For Us All HQ - because I thought the lolita look was too cutesy. Oh, and I'm also no longer ashamed of my Devillian heritage. Mom and Syn both taught me that no matter how you look to others, you are the kind of person you choose to be. Syn can literally digivolve into the same species as a Demon Lord and yet she's only ever fought for good. I can't ask for a better role model than that." Drusilla said. Syn had tears go down her face. "That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me!" Syn said as she wipes the tears from her eyes. Zai smiled. "That's right. We're not fallen angels, or demons, or monsters, or anything else our species like to call themselves." Zai said.

Martin held his hands out and extended his claws. "I'm not sure if this counts, but I can hunt like the Demi-Felinicus I am. I also confessed my feelings to the girl I liked, and I understand Naturemon's feelings as though they were my own." Martin said. Taylor reached over and put her finger in the palm of Martin's hand. "That's nice and all, but you have no toe beans." She said in jest. Naturemon frowned. "Have we Digimon grown at all?" She asked. Martin placed his hand over hers and laid his head on her wooden shoulder. "Absolutely. When I first met you, you were like a hyperactive 3 year old. You were childlike, innocent, a blank slate really. You didn't even know how to shake hands. But now you've learned how to handle situations a little more maturely. You've also learned that there's a time and place for when to shower someone with affection." Martin said. Naturemon grit her teeth. "You have no idea how much I want to hug you right now, Marty Hearty!" Martin wrapped his arms around her.

Taylor looked down and frowned. "That's nice. That's really nice." Taylor said. She wasn't sure if this journey had changed her at all or not. Sharkmon frowned, for he was thinking the same thing. They certainly felt the same as when they first started. Taylor was still a bubbly, giggle-proned nerd with an extensive knowledge of Digimon species, lore, and computer coding, and had no problem showing that knowledge off to impress others. Sharkmon was still a hot dog snarfing childlike shark he was when he first met Taylor.

Evander looked over and noticed his daughter's demeanor changing to one oozing with sadness. His detective skills were sharp. It didn't take long for him to infer why she was sad. He stood up, placing Ladybugmon off to the side for Ladybugmon was sitting in his lap. He walked over to his little girl and knelt down in front of her. "Taylor, whether you've changed or not doesn't matter to me. You're perfect just the way you are." He said. Taylor was silent. Evander then decided to say more; "Taylor, let me ask you something; what do you think of me?" Taylor looked up at him, slightly confused by the question. "What do I think of you?" "That's right. What are your opinions about your 'stupid old man'?" Taylor blinked a couple of times. "Well….I think you're the coolest man I've ever met! You were such a good detective that you solved a couple of cold case homicide cases which, as a cyber sleuth, is outside your area of specialization. Others were so impressed that you started doing detective work for multiple agencies besides the Kuremi Detective Agency which only deals in cyber crimes. You have a great work ethic too! You're like a real life Sherlock Holms!" Taylor exclaimed. Evander smiled. "Really? I'm not the embarrassing workaholic dad who ignores his family?" Evander asked. "Not at all! How could you even say that?" Taylor asked. "Because that's how you used to talk about me. I mean, the ignoring you part was true for a while, but you used to idolize your mother while I was just an embarrassment. Someone who's the reason you were born with human eyes."

Taylor then remembered back to when she used to complain about her dad all the time. She remembered back to when she said she wished her father was a merman so she wouldn't be a half-breed who needed goggles to go under the ocean, thus avoiding being made fun of by Brittany Dousington and her clique of mermaid mean girls. She remembered when Martin pointed out his birth defect of having cat ears on his head and human ears on the sides of his head, and how he viewed it as a symbol of Mario's and Flora's love for each other, because they loved each other so much that they came together to make him, and how that totally changed the way she thought of her eyes. After that day, she was actually proud to don her goggles in front of other Aqualians. "Dad, you're right! I have grown since I met Sharkmon!" Taylor said before her sad expression changed to one big smile. Evander rubbed Taylor's head, messing up her hair. "Yep. Sometimes you can see changes in others, but not yourself. Sometimes it takes a set of fresh eyes to give you a different perspective." Evander said before giving his daughter a big eyes-closed grin. Taylor got on her knees and made herself fall forward so she could give her father a hug. "Thanks Dad. I love you." She said. "And I love you too, my little mermaid." Evander replied.

Drusilla looked over to Taylor. "Yep. Your dad's right. You've grown just like the rest of us. The next thing on the character development list is to make you more comfortable singing around others. Come on now, you cute little siren, give us a song." Drusilla said in a teasing tone while twirling her black umbrella. Taylor smiled nervously and laughed nervously. "Oh, Drusilla! You kidder, you!"

That still didn't resolve things for Sharkmon, though. Evander turned and placed his hand on Sharkmon's head. "You'll change when you need to." He said. Sharkmon smiled.

SorcererSuprememon kept an eye on her magical GPS spellbook navigation thing. "We're here. Stop the boat." She said. The boat was being driven by Aki, her human partner. The slightly elderly gray haired female gogglehead pulled on a lever, causing the boat to gradually come to a halt.

SorcererSuprememon got rid of the navigation system being projected holographically over her book by turning the page. SorcererSuprememon then began chanting a spell in Witchish. In seconds, a red circle surrounded the boat. The boat began to rise up. The adult and child Digidestined members and their partner Digimon looked up to see another red circle that was circling the boat up into the air. "Whoa! We're beginning to fly!" Sharkmon exclaimed. "This must be the portal to Witchelny." Dovemon observed. "We're going to Witchelny! Cool!" Coalmon exclaimed. Drusilla shushed their Digimon. She didn't want SorcererSuprememon to get distracted while she chanted her spell. The boat went through the portal.

Everyone looked around to see that their boat had been placed smack dab on dry land. There was a town nearby overlooking a wide grassy field where lots of Tinkermon could be seen flying around, playing. Past the town was a huge castle. Taylor smiled and her eyes started sparkling. "Those are Tinkermon! Rookie level Digimon who resemble fairies! The most famous Digimon of this species lives in Neverland with her best friend, Petermon. I guess these Tinkermon live here in Witchelny." Taylor said. Evander chuckled. "Back when I was a tween gogglehead, I didn't have a Digimon Analyzer this cute." Evander said.

A purple horse like Digimon with dark blue hair walked by. She had a centaur like body, with a humanoid womanly top and a purple horse body in the bottom half. She had large, purple wings on the back of both the human part of her body as well as the horse part of her body. She also had a large horn on her head. "Digital Monster" was written in DigiCode on both of her thighs, on the horse part of her body. She had horseshoes on that were spiked all around, like a punk rocker's bracelets. Around her waist was a satchel with a spellbook in it with letters written on the front in DigiCode. She also held a magic wand in her hand. This Digimon was like a centaur and an alicorn in one. She galloped over to the boat that just appeared. "SorcererSuprememon! Aki! You've returned!" She said cheerfully. Taylor looked surprised. "Whoa! A new Digimon species!" She exclaimed before giggling. SorcererSuprememon smiled and said, "Here in Witchelny, you'll discover lots of Digimon you've never seen before, because they simply have never traveled from here to the main Digital World. This is my friend, Alicomon."

Everyone got out of the boat. Taylor walked up and shook Alicomon's hand. "Nice to meet you Alicomon. I'm Taylor Glovion." Taylor said. Alicomon smiled and said; "I already know all about you, Taylor. SorcererSuprememon told us about you at our council meeting." She said. "Alicomon is a member of the Witchelny council. She also happens to be my best friend." SorcererSuprememon. Aki cleared her throat with a displeased expression on her face. SorcerSuprememon was standing in front of her human partner. Her eyebrows rose and a drop of sweat ran down the side of her face. SorcererSuprememon giggled nervously and said; "My OTHER best friend, I mean." Aki smiled.

Alicomon put her hands on her sides where the horse part of her began. "Taylor, I've heard you're a big Digimon nerd so allow me to give you some more info on myself. I am Alicomon; a Mega level Digimon who has mastered wind and water magic. I'm of the vaccine attribute and, I suppose Digimon Researchers, if they knew of my existence, would classify me in the Wind Guardians, Nature Spirits, and Virus Busters fields. My attacks include 'Magical Friendship' in which I channel my fond feelings of my friends into my horn and unleash a barrage of powerful energy blasts. Another attack of mine is 'Water Wand'. This attack involves me channeling the moisture in the air with my magic wand and aiming it into a high pressure stream that's strong enough to cut through Chrome DigiZoid! Another attack of mine is 'Galloping Gale' in which I flap all four of my wings and create a gust of wind that blows my enemies away! There's a few more, but I think that'll suffice for now." Allicomon explained. Taylor smiled and her eyes sparkled more brightly than before. She let out a loud squeal and started giggling uncontrollably out of glee. She started twirling around while she giggled. "So cool! So cool! SO! COOL! I'm gonna write all this down! I love discovering Digimon I've never seen before!" Taylor exclaimed.

"Well, with introductions out of the way, let's get going to Witchelny Academy. My clones should be arriving soon with everyone from World For Us All." SorcererSuprememon said.

They headed off. As they began to walk off, something caught Martin's eye. He had to do a double take! "Naturemon?" There appeared to be a group of Naturemons headed into the forests. They were peaking around trees. Some of them had their bodies somewhat submerged into the trees. Martin's Naturemon looked over in that direction. "No way! There's more of me!" She exclaimed. Everyone was surprised. As far as they knew, there was only one Naturemon in existence; and she was Martin's partner. "There are other Naturemons?" Taylor observed. SorcererSuprememon smiled. "Yesterday, I invited Yggdrasil to the meeting. He came in one of his Yggdramon bodies. He explained how he and his multiversal counterparts created Harmonymon. The Yggdrasil of this universe took a DigiEgg of one of the unhatched Naturemons in this forest and used it as the base consciousness of the goddess Digimon that he and the other Yggdrasils were creating. That explains why you and Harmonymon had similar personalities prior to Izzy's program splitting your DigiCore into four. So, no Naturemon, you're not alone. However, the other three might be." She said. Naturemon smiled brightly. She squealed like an excited child and giggled. Sharkmon shrugged. "Meh. I don't care if I'm the only one." Sharkmon said. Dovemon patted him on the back with her wing. "Yeah, I don't think the world would have any hot dogs left if there were a bunch of you." Dovemon teased.

Taylor smiled and shrugged with two open palms. "So Naturemon is another Digimon that doesn't exist in the main part of the Digital World. They're only native here to Witchelny. That makes sense as Naturemon looks like a dryad spirit and dryads were magical creatures in Greek mythology. A magical world like Witchelny is a fitting habitat if you ask me." Taylor said.

One of the "trees" moved. It was a Chlorismon! She was just as gigantic as Martin's partner Digimon when she digivolved to mega. The Chlorismon took a few steps forward, looking down, trying to be careful not to step on any of the Naturemons. "Move out of the way, my sweet daughters. Mommy doesn't want to step on you and turn you back into DigiEggs. I'm done changing Sproutmon diapers for one lifetime." This Chlorismon said. Martin's Naturemon looked up at the Chlorismon with her mouth agape. "Wow! Am I really that big when I warp digivolve?" She exclaimed. Martin chuckled and nodded. "Yep!"

Chlorismon knelt down in order to see SorcererSuprememon eye to eye. "Councilwoman Chlorismon. So you've come to greet me too? I must have been greatly missed." She said. Martin's eyebrows rose. So this other Chlorismon was a member of Witchelny's council as well? He wondered how that would work given her size. Maybe these meetings weren't held indoors, or maybe they had a window opened so she could listen from outside. "Actually, I just came to check on my daughters, the Naturemon. I told them that one of their sisters was made into a great hero and was partnered with a Digivice Wielder." Chlorismon explained. This term was new to Martin, but he figured she meant Digidestined. "Digivice Wielder?" He said aloud. Aki said, "It's what the inhabitants of Witchelny call Digidestined. But it applies to Tamers as well, so a broad term." Naturemon was fixated on the term "Sister?"

Chlorismon nodded. "When you were but a mere DigiEgg, I was approached by King Drasil in his humanoid form. He informed me of the crisis approaching us which endangered all worlds. He asked me for one of my DigiEggs and I agreed." Chlorismon said. Jessica looked over to the large crouching tree woman and asked, "Why would you give up one of your own babies?" Chlorismon replied; "Yggdrasil told me that he and his multiversal counterparts had to find a Digimon that was most pure of heart in order to ensure the overwhelming power of the Digimon they planned to create would not become corrupted and drunk on their own godlike abilities. Yggdrasil said that there is none more pure than an infant, especially a Sproutmon."

"Digimon of the Naturemon digivolutionary line tend to be naturally benevolent." SorcererSuprememon said. "In fact, I've never met a MotherNaturemon, Vineyardmon, or Chrorismon who wasn't kind, gentle, sweet, and selfless." Alicomon then turned to Taylor and smiled. "Write some of this down for your future as a Digimon Researcher."

Taylor got out a device to begin typing in a document. "Naturemon is a Rookie level, vaccine attribute Digimon and belongs to the Nature Spirits, Jungle Troopers, and Virus Busters fields. Naturemons have naturally chipper and bubbly personalities, and they always make friends wherever they go. The spears they carry are for fighting enemies who would dare harm the forest or their fiends. Naturemon also has an attack called 'Vine Vengeance' in which vines come out of her back and whip the enemy repeatedly, cutting them up. Naturemon can also dislodge the leaves on her legs by kicking her legs repeatedly. She then turns them into sharp blades which fly towards the enemy to cut them up. This attack is called 'Leaf Can Can'.

"MotherNaturemon is a Champion level Digimon of the Nature Spirits, Jungle Troopers, and Virus Busters fields. She is a Vaccine type. MotherNaturemons are protectors of the forest, and they always care for baby or Rookie level Digimon in need. If children wander into the forest and get lost, a MotherNaturemon will protect and nourish them until she can help them find their way out. If that child is an orphan, MotherNaturemon will adopt the child and raise them as though they were her own. And as you already found out, this species of Digimon can only be found in Witchelny."

Taylor was furiously taking notes. SorcererSuprememon and Alicomon turned and started walking towards the castle. "We should get going." SorcererSuprememon said. Naturemon waved goodbye to the other Naturemons and took off following the others. The other Naturemon waved back before disappearing into the bark of the trees in the forest. Chlorismon stood up and also walked into town, though she moved slowly and looked down to avoid stepping on anyone due to her massive size.

As they walked, they continued to talk. Martin's Naturemon looked up at Chlorismon with an eager smile on her face. She was eager to learn more about her species. "Chlorismon, I noticed that some of those other Naturemons phased into the trees. Can I do that?" She asked. Chlorismon nodded. "Yes. Every Naturemon has the ability to fuse and de-fuse with trees. That is why the inhabitants of Witchelny call us tree spirits." Chlorismon answered.

Soon, the group made it to the big castle that was past the town. "This is Witchelny's School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry." SorcererSuprememon said. SorcererSuprememon opened the doors and everyone went inside, except for Chrorismon. Chlorismon went around back. The two groups of Digidestined and their Digimon made their way into a large room with a circular table. The table had fancy looking soft chairs for members of the Witchelny Council to sit in. There was also a large window at the back of the room that was about 7 feet high. This room was at the back of the Witchelny Academy and outside the window was a flower garden. Chlorismon crouched down below outside and SorcererSuprememon opened the window. Alicomon walked up to the table and just stood there, unable to sit given her body shape. SorcererSuprememon took a seat in the most fancy looking chair of them all. SorcererSuprememon's chair was made of pure gold and even the soft fabric which she sat on and had her back up against was made to be the same color as gold.

There were lots of extra chairs at the west side of the wall. Evander inferred that these chairs were probably meant for him and his fellow DigiDestined members to sit in. "We shall discuss our battle plans when the others arrive." SorcererSuprememon said. "You're about to see lots of Digimon that you've never seen before, Taylor, but please try to curb your enthusaism." Aki said with a wink and a smile. Aki had actually been to Witchelny before along with other two Digidestined members and their Digimon. They were the only humans prior to today to ever get to see this magical place. After Witchelny was nearly destroyed centuries ago, being saved by MidevalGallantmon, the Witchelny council was very reluctant to let in outsiders. Taylor smiled, closed her eyes, and giggled with her hands folded behind her back. "I'll do my best, Miss Aki." Taylor said.

The adult and child Digidestined members took a seat. They sat there for about 20 minutes until the doors to the room opened and more Digimon entered. "The rest of the council has arrived." Aki said, gesturing towards the door.

One of the Digimon was a red haired woman in a short, yellow dress. She had a wand in her hand with a yellow star at the end of it, and a red cape with a collar that curled upwards. She had on red gloves that went up to her elbows, and a satchel around her waist containing her spellbook. She also wore red knee high boots. Growing out of her back were large, pink fairy wings. On the front of her dress was "Digital Monster" written in DigiCode. The fairy Digimon smiled and waved at Evander, Taylor, and their groups. "Hello, there. I am Wandamon; a Mega level Digimon. I can grant wishes, but only to children, and even then, only those with pure hearts. My special attacks include 'Wish Grant' in which I grant the wishes of my allies, 'Scarlett Skewer' in which I cause my wand to become a dark red colored mace to puliverize my enemies, and 'Scarlett Space' in which I create a my own pocket dimension to psychologically torture my enemies until they lose the will to fight. Oh, and there's also 'Magic Wand Blast' which, as the name suggests, blasts a beam of magical energy out of my wand." Wandamon said as she introduced herself.

Another Digimon who was near Wandamon looked like a humanoid with a big purple and blue hat that was quite tall. He had a dark blue cloak on with stars emblazoned all around it.

*Magicianmon

A humanoid Digimon who was rather short. He has a tall black hat like a magician with a white circle around it. In the middle of the front of the hat is a crescent moon with a star in the middle. The crescent moon and the star are both purple. Magicianmon is wearing a black tuxedo and a purple cape. He had 4 white gloved hands levitating all around him and a wand in his hand which ends with the same emblem as on hit hat. He’s an Ultimate level Digimon. He also smiled and waved…with all of his hands. "Hi. I'm Magicianmon. An Ultimate level Digimon. You could say I'm a bit of a handy man." He said.

*WhiteWitchmon

She is a humanoid Digimon with short blonde hair, and a white colored leotardlike outfit which exposes her belly button and some of her cleavage. Going up sideways on both of her thighs is “Digital Monster” in DigiCode. She had a witch hat which is white with gold stripes. In the center of the hat is a purple gem that resembles an eye. Over the leotard-like outfit is a long cape which is white on the outer part and dark red on the interior. She has knee high boots with are white and gold. She also had a black cat perched on her shoulder; her familiar spirit.

"Hi. I'm WhiteWitchmon, an Ultimate level Digimon. I digivolved from Witchmon when I mastered medical magic. While I've been told I have a great bedside manner, I'm also skilled in combat. My 'Heart Stopper' attack instantly deletes any Digimon by interrupting the signals going from the brain to the heart which tells it to keep beating. I can also burn up my opponent with 'Ferocious Fever' in which I increase the temperature of my enemies until they burn from the inside out. The downside of both of these attacks is that I have to put open palms on my opponent, which is difficult to do is my opponent is fast, and it also puts my life in danger as I'm bad at close combat and at dodging attacks."

*MedievalGallantmon

A familiar face entered the room. A knight Digimon with a big golden axe in his right hand, a helmet with Guilmon fins on it, red shoulder armor, and silvery gray armor covering his body. In the center of his chest was a a green crest with yellow symbols on it. MidievalGallantmon looked over to Ladybugmon and nodded. "Hello there, Ladybugmon. The queen has informed me she removed my X-Antibody from your code so you'd stop turning into me when you go Mega. I'll bet you're happy about that." He said. Ladybugmon nodded. "Yeah, well, um, MedievalGallantmon, you're cool and all, but…if I couldn't become EntoGallantmon, I never would have defeated Belphemon or Daemon." Ladybugmon said. Ladybugmon was sitting in Evander's lap. Someone at some point miscounted how many chairs they would need, so some of the Digimon partners had to sit in their human/mermaid/Devillian partner's laps. MedievalGallantmon chuckled. He clenched his fist and took a step forward. "Perhaps we should spar sometime." MideivalGallantmon said.

*Hexeblaumon

Finally, a large draconic bi-pedal creature came into the room. He had large ice wings and was covered in blue armor. "I'm Hexeblaumon." He said.

SorcererSuprememon, Chlorismon, Alicomon, Wandamon, Magicianmon, WhiteWitchmon, MedievalGallantmon, and Hexeblaumon. These 8 Digimon made up The Withcelny Council, with SorcererSuprememon as its head.

All of the Digimon took their seats at the round table.
