[spoiler=Chapter 26: the Eyes are Open, the Mouth Moves; but Mr. Brain has long since Departed]

 

Aban was sleeping in the carriage whilst Keras was fidgeting. ‘Blue, can I ask you something?’ he asked. ‘Shoot’ Blue replied. ‘Do you ever wonder if you were meant for something greater, yet you’re stuck by some sort of linear destiny?’ Keras asked. ‘Itishardtotellreally. IamjustaTrailmonyaknow? Ifollowthesametracksdayindayout, course, thisismyfirstactualtripbacktotheEasternPillarsinceIwassentherebymymaster’ Blue quickly said. ‘Yeah, I know your master well, Azulongmon, the dragon of lighting’ Keras added. ‘Well, whenIthinkaboutit, Idofollowthesamelinearrailwaysofmylife. Buttellyourfriendtowakeup, this tripwon’ttaketoolong, asthewarpstreamthatleadstothepillarisonlyfifteenminutesaway’ Blue stated. Keras smiled and looked at Aban. ‘This guy is kinda stupid, well, philosophically smart, but he doesn’t know what to do with it. He spent a good couple of hours telling a friend on how chocolate is an aphrodisiac’ Keras mused. Blue chuckled at this. ‘Hecouldberightyouknow? PhilosophersintheDigitalWorldarehardtocomeby, whoknows? HemightbecomegreaterthantheAgumonHikase’ Blue replied. ‘Well fate isn’t decided by a roll of the dice, but by the conscious decisions of his and mine’ Keras replied. ‘Youbettergetsomesleep. Thetrialswon’tbeaproperwalkinthepark’ Blue warned. Keras nodded and closed his eyes.

 

‘EasternPillar, offnow’ Blue shouted. Keras yawned as he rubbed his eyes. He gently rocked Aban awake and they departed onto the station, which seemed to imitate some kind of power station. ‘Havefun’ Blue reminded and shut down. ‘How long was I asleep’ Aban asked, rubbing his eyes. ‘About half and hour or so, it was a short ride thanks to a data stream that warped us here’ Keras explained. ‘Oh, well, that’s nice then. Now, destiny awaits’ Aban stated boldly and walked to the stairs and tripped on the stairs. Keras sighed as Aban picked himself up. The platform holding the pillar was floating and powered by four generators. The pillar had a large dragon in an ouroboros shape. There was some script on the pillar. ‘Thoughts a clutter. Wasted space. When clarity is scene through the Eyes. Doorways appear to the end’ it read. ‘Why do people try to be clever in creating superfluous tips?’ Aban asked. ‘Because it is an ancient text and they were always unconventional?’ Keras asked. ‘That or whoever wrote it couldn’t think of anything better to say’ Aban replied as he spotted the blue octagonal (overused) pad. ‘Well then, exit stage right’ Aban said and chuckled. ‘What is it?’ Keras asked. ‘Think about it, I said right’ he said. ‘Oh, eastern pillar, east is to the right’ Keras said after thinking. They both walked onto the pad and vanished in a bolt of lightning.

 

‘Well, I wonder who screwed the physics in this place’ Aban wondered as he was upside down. The area was maze like and made you feel like there was an unusual amount static electricity. ‘It’s like an MC Escher really, creative for the Trial of Lightning’ Keras remarked. ‘Yeah, electromagnetism I get, but how can we defy gravity like this?’ Aban asked. ‘I don’t know, I think I’ve got a nose bleed, so the blood is rushing to my head and out’ Keras replied. ‘So, we die if we touch lightning, and the exit appears to be in a miniature version of an electric storm. So obviously there is a mandatory switch that will turn the power off and kill us by falling to the ground’ Aban added. ‘Yeah, or maybe that there is a subtle break in the storm that we can sneak through to get to the door’ Keras pointed out. ‘Yes, is suppose we could. But, what if that is what they want us to think, what if they want us to enter that electrical storm only to seal us in and then the storm shrinks until we resembled fried chicken? Or that the door is fake and they seal us in their die, or that they could send the unholy swarms of daemons on us should we hit a supposed switch, because we don’t have a shotgun and your fire rate is rather slow. But you also forget that there might be no escape from this trial and we die by blood lose and starvation, not to mention dehydration. DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT!? DID YOU!?’ Aban shouted. He saw Keras’ stunned face. ‘Sorry, I lost my train of thought there’ he added. ‘Yeah, stop over thinking it and press the damn switch behind us’ Keras said, pointing to a brick that was sticking out slightly. They both pushed it and it slid in, causing the storm in the centre to stop and causing a mysterious ticking sound. ‘It’s a bloody time challenge, and we don’t have time to Digivolve. Can you leap to the centre platform?’ Aban asked. ‘Possibly, after all, I do defy gravity on a regular basis as I am a jellyfish like monster, sure, why not’ Keras replied. Keras grabbed Aban and in one swift leap they landed onto the central platform, the ticking getting more rampant. The door in the floor opened after they pulled it and jumped down as the ticking stopped.

 

The area was white. ‘Looks like my mind after hearing you start to go on one of your rants’ Keras said smugly. ‘Indeed, welcome to the Trial of Clarity Aban Dalibor and Keras. It is here that you must pass’ a mysterious voice said. ‘How are you talking?’ Aban asked. ‘What?’ the voice replied. ‘Well, voices aren’t usually projected from disembodied souls, so how are you talking without a body?’ Aban asked. ‘Is that really important when you’re trying to face a life changing challenge?’ the voice replied. ‘Yes it is, I want to know how you’re breaking the laws of physics’ Aban replied. ‘Aban, just leave it, we’re wasting time’ Keras begged. ‘Indeed, you are lucky Dalibor, to have such a reserved and well mannered Keramon such as this. You very rarely see one take such care in thought when so many are just interested in feeding on data or causing rampart destruction’ the voice remarked. ‘Yes, I know Keras is great, he’s my rock and anchor on the good ship ‘Think a lot’, but right now, I want to know why we’re here. My mind is very clear, so why do I face the Trial of Clarity?’ Aban enquired. ‘Do you really believe your mind is clear? Every second a new thought bubbles into your head. Your thoughts boil over like a poorly kept soup, spilling to the ground in a disgusting mess’ the voice answered with a hint of distaste. ‘He’s allowed to think if he wants too. That is what makes humans interesting. They never stop thinking, if they didn’t think, they wouldn’t have been able to create many things’ Keras replied. ‘Funny, you remarked that you barely listen to his rants, what makes his unneeded thoughts necessary then? Why would you need to think that chocolate is an aphrodisiac when there are just normal aphrodisiacs?’ the voice asked. ‘Because I am a great thinker, I think so other people don’t have too’ Aban replied. ‘I see, well, I will leave you now, for you must see clarity for yourself, as arguing won’t do it, farewell, for now’ the voice said. ‘Aban, that was very rude’ Keras scolded. ‘Don’t be like that, as I said, I think so the other don’t have too. But, I’m being reminded on the message on the pillar, it made references to clarity, so it must help me solve this trial’ Aban reasoned. He sat down on the ground(?) and began to think to himself. ‘Aban, that’s the opposite of what the message wanted you to do’ Keras said. ‘What?’ Aban asked. ‘The text mentioned thoughts a clutter and there is wasted space. You need to let go of advanced reasoning and try to see things as they are’ Keras said. ‘But, that is my personality and habits. You just can’t change like that’ Aban countered. ‘Try’ Keras said. ‘Try to see that the Trial of Clarity is there, to give you time to stop thinking and just look around and not wonder’ Keras added. Aban looked at the ground(?) and then at Keras, his light blue eyes seemed to darken a little, as if the mists faded. ‘You’re right, sometimes things don’t need logic to explain things’ Aban remarked. ‘That’s why I am here, to disprove your theories and niggle at your plot holes’ Keras replied. ‘Yes, but not thinking won’t get us out of here, let us look for the door without a head cluttered by thoughts’ Aban said and began scanning the area. ‘It’s behind you you know’ Keras pointed out. Aban turned around and saw a large wooden door. ‘Oh, so it is’ he said and opened it, entering the door with Keras after him.

 

The area crackled with electricity, as the area was a large power plant. Generators hummed and there was an extremely large sphere was something writhing about in it. ‘I wonder who that could be’ Aban said with a smirk. The sphere shattered and a large blue dragon, an electric blue aura surrounded him. ‘So, the mighty sovereign of the east, Azulongmon’ Keras said. ‘Very good, but now the small talk ends, we must fight to prove your worth’ Azulongmon replied. ‘Yeah, but first, can you tell me one thing, what is a sovereign and what is it like being one?’ Aban asked. ‘Do you not feel that that is a bit irrelevant?’ Azul asked. ‘Not really, it is good to know these things’ Aban replied. ‘Very well. A sovereign is a ruler of a certain part of the Digital world. There are five in all, each ruling the north,, south, east, west and the centre. I am ruler of the east, Ebonwumon is the ruler of the north, Zhuqiaomon the south, Baihumon to the west and our leader Fanglongmon of the centre. Does that please you?’ Azul asked. ‘Yes, except you didn’t tell me what it is like’ Aban replied. ‘Ruling a quarter of the world is difficult, granted I have a large number of servants to assist, such as my three devas and the blue Trailmon. Speaking of which, one of my devas is in your group as we speak. She was recently reborn, so I sent her unknowingly to help you, you should know her well, the rabbit deva’ Azul explained. ‘I see now. Well, I have wasted enough time, so, shall we begin?’ Aban asked. ‘Indeed, I will grant you time to evolve’ Azul stated. Aban’s Digivice began to glow and data spheres covered Keras. It shattered to reveal Infermon. ‘No mercy, as you humans says. Lightning Whip’ Azul roared and fired his many chins. Aban climbed onto Keras and he leapt out of the way, sticking to the ceiling where he fired a couple of rounds. ‘Spider Shooter’ Keras shouted, firing the energy rounds at Azul, where they exploded along his body. ‘No good I am afraid, Aurora Force’ Azul roared and curled his body, unleashing a hail of lightning bolts. Infer dodged again and again, avoiding the bolts. ‘Keras, what are those strange things surrounding his legs?’ Aban asked, motioning to the spheres. ‘Digi-cores, it is said that every sovereign has twelve of them on their body’ Keras explained and dodged another round of lightning. ‘Then why do I count thirteen?’ Aban asked. ‘What?’ Keras asked after firing another set of rounds. ‘Look at his back left leg, it has four spheres around it, although one of them seems a lot duller than the others’ Aban stated, pointing to it. ‘Must be a weak point, but I can’t get him from here, I’ll need to Cocoon Crash him’ Keras said. ‘Okay, get into a position that you can hit him’ Aban ordered. Keras complied and soon they were looking up at the sovereign. ‘It was fun, I haven’t seen anything that could dodge as well as you’ Azul said. ‘I know, how did you know we were about to end this?’ Keras asked. ‘What do you mean?’ Azul asked. They didn’t reply as Keras leapt at the back leg, retracting his legs in and firing several more Spider Shots. Each hit cracked the sphere as Keras rammed and shattered it.

 

They were back at the pillar, with it behind them. ‘With sound logic and thoughtless planning, you have defeated me and earned my digi-core, you have done well’ Azul said. Aban looked at the blue sphere in his hands. ‘Thank you Azulongmon, we’ll be sure to use this power well’ Keras said. ‘No problem, oh, and to answer your question, Lopmon’s ultimate form is called Antylamon, that is her true deva form’ Azul added and the image vanished. Aban chuckled as he pocketed the sphere and they found Blue still shut down. They entered the carriage and he woke up. ‘Welcomeback, didyoulearnanything?’ he asked. ‘Not at all’ Keras replied with a large grin.
