Chapter 4 : The Lost Village

The small Digimon led the group deeper into the forest, its movements slow and unsteady. The group followed closely behind, their eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger.

As they walked, the forest began to thin out, the trees growing farther apart. Soon, they came to a clearing, and in the center of the clearing stood a small village.

The village was unlike anything the group had ever seen before. The buildings were made of wood and stone, their roofs thatched with straw. The streets were lined with lanterns, their soft glow casting an eerie light on the surroundings.

The small Digimon led them to a building at the edge of the village. It looked like a small temple, with ornate carvings and symbols etched into its walls.

"This is where I'm from," the Digimon said, its voice barely above a whisper.

The group entered the temple, and as they did, they were hit with a wave of sadness and despair. The temple was in ruins, the walls crumbling, and the floor covered in rubble.

"What happened here?" Tommy asked, his eyes scanning the area for any clues.

The small Digimon explained that the village had been attacked by corrupted Digimon, twisted and deformed by the merge. The villagers had fought valiantly, but they had been no match for the corrupted creatures.

The group looked around, their hearts heavy with sorrow. They knew that they had to do something to help, to put an end to the corruption and restore peace to the land.

As they were about to leave the temple, they heard a sound coming from one of the rooms. It was a soft whimpering, the sound of someone in pain.

They rushed to investigate and found a group of Digimon huddled together, their bodies twisted and deformed by the darkness. They were badly injured, their bodies covered in cuts and bruises.

The group immediately went to work, tending to their wounds and healing their injuries. As they worked, they learned that these Digimon were the survivors of the attack, the only ones left alive in the village.

"We have to do something," Zoe said, her voice filled with determination. "We can't let this darkness continue to spread."

The group agreed, and they set out to find the source of the corruption. They traveled deeper into the forest, their movements slow and deliberate. The air grew thick with the stench of decay, and the ground beneath their feet felt soft and spongy.

As they walked, they came across a group of corrupted Digimon. These creatures were different from the ones they had faced before, their bodies twisted and deformed beyond recognition.

The group prepared for battle, and they fought fiercely against the corrupted creatures. They called upon the power of their partners, their attacks burning bright and fierce.

The battle was intense, and the group was pushed to their limits. But in the end, they emerged victorious, the corrupted creatures defeated and destroyed.

As they caught their breath, they heard a voice calling out to them. It was coming from a nearby cave, and it sounded like someone in distress.

The group rushed to investigate, and they found a small group of Digimon huddled together, their bodies twisted and deformed by the darkness. They were badly injured, their bodies covered in cuts and bruises.

"We have to help them," J.P. said, his voice filled with compassion.

The group immediately went to work, tending to their wounds and healing their injuries. As they worked, they learned that these Digimon were part of a group that had been on a mission to stop the corruption from spreading.

"We were ambushed," one of the Digimon said, his voice filled with sadness. "We never stood a chance."
