UPDATE (6/11/2014): Hey, y'all. So after almost two years of probably not touching this story, I'm finally going back and revising it. I thank you all who read this story; never knew that this little short story would be the most frequent read out of everything else in my "library." One little note for the readers without any canon knowledge: this story comes from the second episode of Adventure 02. Without further ado, I hope you all enjoy this story!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DIGIMON IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM!


He couldn't believe it. He simply could not believe the disaster that he has landed himself into. In a million years, he never would have thought that something so horrific would happen…

And it's only Davis' second day in the Digital World.

Here he was, with shackles on his wrists and ankles, looking outward from the side of a canyon.

He really couldn't believe the danger that he was about to be associated with.

'Oh, what did I do to ever deserve this?' Davis pondered, clearly remembering the events that led up to this very moment...


"Sora, watch out!" TK yelled before diving onto her, protecting her and Biyomon from the attack of a controlled Snimon.

'Well, just a perfect way to end a glorious reunion,' Izzy thought as he saw the malicious creature - a dark ring tightly around his waist - trying to attack the DigiDestined.

With nothing else better to do but to fight back, Biyomon quickly flew up and used her attack, Spiral Twister, to cease Snimon. Tentomon and Patamon quickly caught on as they used their respective attacks, a Super Shocker for Tentomon and a Boom Bubble for Patamon. However, none of these attacks were even affected as the much faster Champion digimon simply maneuvered around their attacks.

Gatomon, enraged that a controlled digimon was simply destroying the rookies, decided to help them out.

"Lightning Paw!" she exclaimed as she jumped up and smacked Snimon right in the head. Though it succeeded in stopping the Champion, it was no match as he sliced at Gatomon, causing her to fall to the hard ground.

"Gatomon!"

Hearing Kari, her partner, cry out to her, the feline picked her head up before immediately putting it back down.

'Ooh, why did I have to go and lose my tail ring?' she pondered, sniffling in the process.

Davis couldn't believe what was happening in front of his eyes. How could they destroy the controlled pest and go on about their day?

"Davis!"

Turning to see his partner, Veemon, running towards the fight, Davis knew what to do.

However, just before Davis can do anything to help, a massive crater formed from underneath him, taking him downward.

Davis screamed for his life until he felt himself hanging from a slab of rock hanging off of the wall. He looked down and saw a controlled Drimogemon, just waiting to pounce on Davis at any moment.

"Davis!" Veemon exclaimed as he saw his partner hanging onto dear life, "Are you okay?"

It was not much longer that Veemon would be joining in on the action as Mojyamon came and used his Bone Boomerang attack, which knocked Veemon into the crater.

"Veemon!" Davis bellowed out as he saw his digimon falling down.

With nothing else to do, Davis simply grabbed onto Veemon's tail as they both fell straight down and was squished onto Drimogemon's massive paw, keeping them captive.


Davis had a hard time dealing with the actions that were just played out. He knew that this was all because of the Digimon Emperor.

'Oh I swear, if I see him around here, I'm going straight after him!'

A sinister laughter caused Davis to look about, but alas he couldn't find the source of the voice.

"Just hanging out I see," the mysterious voice said, chuckling a bit.

Davis looked above him and couldn't believe what he was seeing. A kid, not much older than Davis – perhaps even the same age – was standing over the edge of the canyon.

"Who are you?" Davis asked.

"Oh, me; I'm just your worst nightmare come to life. Frankly, I'm rather disappointed that I was able to capture you so easily."

"You aren't the Digimon Emperor, are you?" Davis decided to ask.

"What do you think?"

After a few seconds of pondering, Davis didn't want to believe the notion that a provoked kid was able to capture him and his partner. To make matters worse, he was the one causing all of the trouble in the Digital World for quite some time.

"But...you're a kid, just like me," was the only response that Davis could come up with.

The Emperor laughed at the puny statement.

"I'm nothing like you because if I were, I would be the one hanging from a cliff. By the way, I left you a little surprise."

The Emperor snapped his fingers and out from the side of the cliff came Veemon, who was also in shackles.

"Veemon!" Davis exclaimed, not sure whether to be glad to be reunited or scared for his digmon's life.

"Davis!" Veemon exclaimed back with a nervous look stated on his face. "Hey, great view isn't it?"

"Yeah, looks really peaceful. Now quick, hurry and armor-digivolve!"

Davis' command went on deaf ears for a brief interruption.

"There's just one problem you have going on there."

Davis looked up to see the Emperor both the digivice and D-Terminal in one of his hands.

"I'm guessing you need these to pull off that little trick, huh?"

Enraged and dumfounded, Davis exclaimed, "Give me back my devices and let Veemon go! He has nothing to do with this!"

The Emperor chuckled a bit before speaking.

"Yeah, right; you both have been trespassing in my garden without my permission, so for punishment, you'll be forced to watch Veemon become my slave."

With the snap of his fingers, a dark ring appeared in the middle of where Davis and Veemon were being trapped.

"Veemon, no!" Davis cried out while the Emperor just laughed.

"I'm not scared of you one bit, Mr. Emperor guy! Come and get me while you can!"

Veemon's plan of taunting didn't go quite as planned.

"If you say so," the Emperor replied as the dark ring slowly made its way toward the dragon-like digimon.

Veemon's bold statement quickly became reality. As Veemon saw the ring approach him, he became frightened over being captured by the Emperor. With nowhere to turn, the digimon began to plead.

"C'mon, I was just kidding; you know, like a good joke every now and again. Just a little comedy to lighten the mood."

"Veemon...no."

This was all Davis could muster. He couldn't believe that the Digimon Emperor was about to take his digimon under his control.

"I don't hear anyone laughing now, Veemon," the Emperor stated in a cold manner.

Davis didn't know how to turn away from the current situation. His digimon is about to be captured and there is nothing he can do about it.

'C'mon guys, where are you?' Davis pondered, wondering where the rest of the group was.


So that's Chapter 1. Expect to see the next chapter, where we delve into the rest of the group and what complications they had to overcome.
