Chapter 2
Many digimon were meeting at the New Digimon Congress where the representatives 
of the two main groups trying to attain power in the region had been 
deliberating on what course of action to take.
For many weeks now, the more powerful digimon, who represented the united 
digimon movement had been trying to get the congress to approve the constitution 
that they had written for the area.
However, that constitution was a one sided document. It said that the government 
should be voted. However, it also stated that the only digimon that were allowed 
to vote were only the ones that had reached perfection level.
The representatives of the federative digimon movement immediately objected to 
it. Day after day, the united digimon would try to pass the constitution, and 
the federative digimon would vote against it.
Finally, since it had been decided to hold open meetings at the recently formed 
New Digimon Congress, the leader of the federative digimon movement, Insekimon, 
had asked every adult, child and even baby level digimon, and any other digimon 
that supported the federative digimon movement, to attend the next meeting.
Right now, right after the day's meeting started, Insekimon addressed everyone 
there. Be them members of the congress, or the digimon that he had asked to 
attend.
"It is completely outrageous that this congress is even considering a 
constitution as this one!" said Insekimon energically. "The truce was agreed so 
as to make sure that peace and order would once again settle on this lands. Does 
anyone really think that peace will be reached with such a one sided document?"
At this words, the federative digimon that formed the congress and the many 
other digimon attending the congress clapped. Meanwhile, the united digimon 
watched in silence, but with anger.
Insekimon continued, "You want to pass a constitution that keeps every baby, 
child and adult level digimon from voting! Just imagine the repercussions of 
such an action! Those digimon form the majority of the population in the area, 
they are the ones that works the land and takes care of the fields and crops. 
You take away that, and what do you have? Just a handful of aristocratic digimon 
to decide the future of this lands! No, I just cannot allow it. We cannot allow 
that to happen. Pass that constitution if you want, but I assure you that peace 
will not return. And it won't be the federative digimon the ones that will fight 
you, but all of the population will."
Now every federative digimon and every civilian digimon that attended the 
congress stood up to clap Insekimon's speech.
As the room was filled with the sound of clapping, Kunbiramon, the leader of the 
united digimon movement, was talking to the rest of the united digimon 
representatives there. "How dare Insekimon say such things. Who does he think he 
is? Insekimon will pay for those words, you can be sure of it."
"… and then, the rest of the members of the congress that didn't like what 
Insekimon was saying closed the whole meeting down." the digimon finished the 
story.
It had been almost two weeks since David and Candmon had started working at 
Silphymon's farm. During that time the Digi-Destined and his digimon partner had 
gotten used to working the fields and harvesting the crops. They had also made 
many friends with the rest of the digimon that worked there too. That wasn't 
very hard considering that everyone there was very friendly, and was not shy at 
making new friends.
Both digimon and Digi-Destined lived at the farm, as did other digimon that 
didn't have anywhere else to go home to. Silphymon was a very generous digimon, 
he never asked about anyone's past if they didn't want to talk about it. All he 
asked from anyone working for him was to be hard working, loyal, and to follow 
the rules. Silphymon WAS a strict boss, but he was also very fair, never abusing 
his authority over the rest.
Food and a place to sleep was everything that David and Candmon needed, but 
Silphymon always insisted that they at least got paid a portion of their salary, 
just like the rest.
Right now, David and Candmon were eating lunch under the shadow cast by a rather 
large tree, along with two other digimon that worked at Silphymon's farm too. 
One of those digimon had attended the meeting, and had just finished telling 
them what had occurred at the New Digimon Congress during Insekimon's speech.
"So, what do you think will happen now?" a dog like digimon, a Plotmon, asked to 
the digimon that had been talking.
"It's not like they have another choice. Insekimon is the natural leader of the 
federative digimon movement. He is looked up to and well respected by most of 
the population. Even if the united digimon movement do not like him, Insekimon 
will most likely be the next governor of the area." the other digimon, a small 
dinasaur made of toy-bricks, a Toy Agumon, replied.
"What does The Boss think about this?" asked Candmon. "Isn't he part of the 
federative digimon movement?" he finished. The Boss was no other than Silphymon, 
everyone called him that way at his farm.
Toy Agumon looked at Candmon, "Yes, but only in a passive way. He supports them, 
but doesn't want to get involved in any government-like issues," the 
dinosaur-like digimon replied, "The Boss considers himself a man of the field, 
and he likes it that way."
David was kind of surprised at hearing that. Silphymon was well respected in 
this area, if he wanted to, he could probably be the most influential digimon of 
ALL of the region. That showed that Silphymon wasn't an ambitious digimon, and 
that was always a good thing in David's eyes.
Still, he couldn't help but wonder what would happen with Insekimon if he became 
the next governor of the area.
For what he heard about them, the members of the united digimon movement weren't 
going to just admit defeat.
