Chapter 50: The Hidden Village of Renamons

After the assassin group entered the portal, they were lead into a huge Amazonian forest. Al looked at his surrounding and judging by how less crowded trees around them, he could guess that they were at the edge of the forest. But the question is, "Where are we?" Al asked in whisper.

"Home," The captain simply replied, "where your execution take place. Both of you."

Yolei gasped when hearing his answer. "Why am I got executed too?"

"I told you, our courtesy is no witnesses. Let's go." The captain entered the heavy forest and the rest followed. The forest was so thick that few sun lights illuminate the hidden path to unknown place for Al and Yolei. Al managed to look at his surroundings despites his throbbing injuries. The forest itself holds variant of trees and bushes. There are some vines dandling at the forest as well. The temperature is quite damp so moss grew at the bottom of the trees, stumps, and rocks.

They've been walking for minutes but Al felt they've been walking for hours, believing that they were lost. The captain didn't seem lost his way unless this is their territory. 'Come to think of it, that Renamon captain said that this is his home. Could it be?' Al thought.

"Is that Leaf Balm bushes?" Yolei speak out of her thought, which attract Al's attention.

Al looked at the direction where Yolei look. Al saw the Leaf Balm bush. The leaf itself has circular blue neon that emits waves to increase recovery rate, in the center of the leaf. "Yeah, it is the same Leaf Balm bush." Al answered. "And there are more than one." Al spotted more of the bushes at random places. '4... 5... 6...' Al counted each bush they pass. Within counts, Al smelled a meat from somewhere. Al looked around to see a tree full with fresh meat fruits. "A meat fruit."

Yolei looked at Al's direction and confirm his call. "It is and there is plenty of it."

"That means we are close." The captain responded with a smile. Al didn't see it because he showed his back when walking to unknown path they called home. The rest of the Renamons showed the same smile except Amelia, She showed unhappy expression as if she is ashamed to come back. Al remembered when they were hiding at the cave behind the waterfall. She was furious when she knew that she was infected with the Glitches.

Al saw an opening at the end of the path they took. What curious him was what is beyond the clearing. Upon reaching at the end of the path stood more trees and it was line up tightly. Upon looking at the top, he saw nothing, which means it was a wood fence and it's pretty high. They suddenly heard a voice from somewhere. "Identify yourself."

The captain smiled. "I am captain Dusk, of the assassin team, and I come bring gifts." The captain answered.

After the introduction, the wooden fence starts to move apart. Apparently they were standing at the front of the gate. Beyond the gate lies dozens of Renamons waiting behind the gate, ready to strike until it was no danger. The captain moved forward along with his companion. Al can finally see within the gate. It was a village full of Renamons. They lived in a hut and have rivers flowing. They also have trees that acted as a shade when it was hot. Al looked at the gate. The wooden fence has triple layers, possibly for sturdiness and has several watch towers with Renamons guarding it. His pain was unbearable but the crowd is not helping him because he needs to sleep for quick recovery.

Unlike Al, Yolei was surprised to see many Renamons in one place and probably some Kyubimons. The Renamons and Kyubimons were gathering at the gate to see what kind of gifts does the captain brought. They never saw a human such as Yolei before, which bring their curiosities on hand. Small whispers came from around her, asking various questions on their mind. Yet, Yolei can't answer all questions at once. When the Renamons and Kyubimons feast their eyes on the body of Agumon, they were also curious. But when they saw the Agumon looked at them, they saw the white eyes on him, which chord another whispers among them. But the whispers weren't like Yolei's, their whispers contain ill rumors, which they didn't saw his true self.

The group crossed a small bridge where a river ran pass the village's ground and stood at the largest hut in the village. Inside the hut, three figures came out. One is a Sakuyamon. To her right, is a Taomon. To her right, is another Renamon. Every Renamons and Kyubimons paid their respect to the Sakuyamon and so does the assassin group. "I bring the one who oppose as a threat to our world, Elder." Captain Dusk announced himself to Sakuyamon, which apparently the elder of the village.

The Sakuyamon looked at its companion and looked back at the captain. "Show me," Sakuyamon ordered in feminine voice. The captain nodded and told Brute. He threw Al like a rag right in front of the elder. Al yelped in pain because he fell on his wound first. His blood smeared the ground and started to pool up. The elder look at him very closely to see the resemblance as rumor told. "I heard you are almighty and dangerous, yet you are here bleed and dying."

Al looked directly at her eyes that hidden behind the mask. "Rumors are just *groan* add up words. *gasp* you can't tell the *gasp* differences until you see one." Al answered within gasps and groans of pain.

"Then tell me." The elder ordered.

"I'm too weak." Al simply answered. "But they can." Al meant the two prisoners that were brought with him. All Renamons and Kyubimons started to whispers among them.

"Tell me, General; is she, your only daughter, Emerald?" The Elder asked the Renamon that has black iris.

The Renamon called General looked away in ashamed. "Yes, she is my only daughter." It answered in masculine voice.

The elder didn't ask any further and look back at Al. "Very well, they will speak on your behalf. Take them to the prison rock. They will be called one by one and tend his wounds, Shaman." The elder has verdict.

"Very well, I shall tend his wounds." The Taomon answered in feminine voice and left. The assassin group takes the prisoners to the prison rock which happens to be natural crates of the hill wall near the gathering ground which at the center of the village. Yolei, Amelia and Al were held in separate rooms.

After the Assassins were gone Yolei slowly lean on the wall where Amelia was held. "So what will happen next, whoever you are?" Yolei asked her.

"The elder has shown an interest." Amelia answered. "We might have a hearing in front of the villagers. I'm sorry that I've never mention my name before. The family never called each other by names."

"How and where did you get that name?" Yolei asked simultaneously about how can the villagers will listen and where did she have that name.

Amelia was confused at first, but spending time with them made her realized that she asked both. "They will gather at the bonfire as the elder told to and we will call out one by one, and I got the name from my iris."

"Lovely, who should we call you?" Yolei asked.

"Yes I am curious." Yolei looked at the other side to see a Taomon stood at Al's room with a pouch. "Do not be alarm. I am here as the elder told me to." She opened the door and sit down next to Al. She starts unpacking some medicine from the pouch. "Please tell me, what should I call you now, Emerald?"

Amelia hesitates at first. "I am Amelia now." She answered.

Taomon inspects Al's wounds and Al felt unease with her presence. He kept on glaring at her. "Amelia, hmm... it is a nice name." Taomon replied still inspecting the wounds. "Who gave you that?" Amelia didn't answer. Al gave her a small snicker. "You...?"

"Glad you like it." Al answered. "I could give you one but on these circumstances, I hold my tongue."

"I'd love to, but I keep my name rank for now." Taomon smiled at him. "Your wound is very severe and fatal and yet you still alive. What is your secret?"

"I have nine lives like Gatomon." He joked around.

"Well, keep that up and you'll spend all your lives." Taomon sarcastically answered. She took a small pot and opened the cap. She dipped her finger paw and starts apply it to Al's wounds. Al grunted in pain. "I know you are not a baby so bear with it. It's an ointment to sterilize and close the wound faster, which I blend it myself. And my apprentice will bring some leaf balms shortly." Not a minute after she said that, a Renamon suddenly appeared with a small bundle. It gave the bundle to her. "Thank you." And then it vanished. She opened the bundle and starts applying the leaves at his body and wrapped it.

Suddenly, they heard a door cell open. It was from Yolei's cell room. "I guess it is time. I look forward to hear her stories about you."

"Thank you." Al panted feeling a little bit better. "It's the least I could say."

Taomon gave him a small smile at him."You should rest and let it recover." She starts packing and went out to the gathering.

At first, Yolei was told to tell her own stories, her tasks and how did she ended up meeting with Al. Eventually, the elder asked about Al's life. She intends to hear the truth about Al than hearing rumors. It took at least a couple of hours or could be more, but the elder looks slightly satisfy.

Up next is Amelia. She is being asked upon before and after she went missing. She told them everything, including the part where Al infected her with the Glitch from his. The audience gasped in shock and disbelief, especially her father. She felt a shame and disgrace from her pack, but nevertheless, she felt grateful to be alive when her wounds were suppose to be fatal.

Last but not least, it's Al's turn. A stretcher is needed to carry him to the gathering. Every Renamons and Kyubimons whispered to each other after hearing Yolei and Amelia's testimonies. His white eyes gazed at the elder and her companion. Within her golden mask, Al can figure that she showed discontent. Not just she, the general, the shaman and the captain gave Al a deadly glare, a glare that might kill him in an instant.

The elder raised her hand to silent the pack. "I've heard stories from rumors. I heard your friend stories to compare the rumors, and I am mostly fascinated about you." The elder carefully spoke.

"Well, thank y..." Al wanted to reply but got scold by the general. "Silence! You are still our prisoner. You may speak when she ask to." The general yelled in rage.

"You were once a human and become a Digimon because of the Plague." Al simply nodded because it is a fact. "You also have the power of the Plague and you use it for good." Al nodded again. "The human said that you can actually see the Plague itself." Al nodded. "And you have the power to transfer the Plague to others." Al nodded a little. "And Emerald, who now is Amelia, is one of the one who got transferred." Al bowed down for a moment and nodded slightly. "May I ask your reason?"

"I did it because she was dying." Al carefully answered. "I won't deny that I put part of the Glitch to support her life, but she was dying from the fall and I won't let that happened."

"Nevertheless, she is infected." The general yelled. "You've made my only daughter get infected, you filthy hybrid."

"I was impressed at you at the first time, but I've never thought you would do such a cruel thing." The shaman pointed her opinion.

"And with it, we brand you as a threat to all Digimons." The elder announced it. "And as our law stated, we will eliminate any kinds of threat." The elder stood up from her throne. "I will personally execute him." The elder slowly walks toward Al. The Renamons and Kyubimon backed away to make a path for Sakuyamon. She readied her staff to deliver the final blow at Al's weaken state. "Any last words?" she asked at him.

"Please, have faith in me." Al pleaded. "I may have done wrong to her, but I did it to save everyone. You may execute me afterwards, but saving the worlds is my top priority, and you can't stop me or my team."

"Ah... the Digi Destinies." The captain smirked. "Good luck on finding this place." Most of the villagers chuckled in amuse by the captain. But Al knew that his friends will come to rescue him, Yolei and Amelia, right at this very moment.

"There's an attack!" A shout came from one of the tower fence. "There's an attack!" Several repeats and there is an explosion coming from the gate. Several Renamons starts running away, trying to hide their cubs and the Kyubimons ran towards the gate and ready to defend. The general and the captain start organizing the Kyubimons while the shaman readied some medicines in case of injuries with several Renamons.

"An attack? Who could have found this place?" The elder asked in surprise.

"My guess is my friends." Al simply answered with a smile.
