Disclaimer and Author's note: I don't own Digimon at all. This is also a nice way of saying: DON'T SUE ME! Thank you. I know that I don't mention what happened to some characters. Don't worry, I'll get to them eventually.
Lethal Evil-Part II
Izzy looked about him taking in his new surroundings. It looked as though he was back in the Yokomon village on the outskirts of the vast desert of the Digital World, but one thing was decidedly lacking: the Yokomon. There had been hundreds, maybe even thousands of Yokomon teeming in the village before and now there wasn't one to be seen.
What happened here? He wondered, seeing rubble everywhere. Bowls still half full of water littered the dusty streets here and there and food was scattered all over.
It looks as though the Yokomon left in a hurry, he observed. What would make them all run away like that, though?
Izzy looked out toward the desert and saw a small shape approaching the village quickly. He squinted and found himself half-wishing he had Tai's mini telescope. He wasn't positive, but it looked like it was a person.
As it drew nearer, he became quite sure it was a person; a young one at that. TK or Kari maybe? He reasoned.
Finally, the person was close enough for him to know for sure who it was: TK and he was running for the village with all his might.
"Izzy!" TK panted when he finally made it to the abandoned village. "It's hotter out there than I remembered." Then: "hey, where's all the Yokomon?"
"I really don't know. It looks like something scared them away."
"Oh. I was looking forward to a drink of water," TK pouted.
Izzy looked back out to the desert. He could have sworn he'd seen something go underground far off on the horizon, but he dismissed it as a mirage.
"How come we're back here anyway?" TK inquired. "Didn't we get rid of all the bad guys?"
"Apparently not."
Izzy felt a little edgy. Something told him that whatever had gotten rid of the Yokomon couldn't be too far away.
Just as he was about to suggest that they leave, TK screamed and started getting sucked under the sand.
Izzy quickly grabbed the younger boy's hand channeling all his strength into keeping him above the sand.
"Something's got my ankle!" TK cried as he was pulled down to his waist.
Izzy felt like kicking himself. He should have known a mirage was highly unlikely in the Digital World.
No matter how hard Izzy tried to keep TK above ground, whatever had gotten hold of him was pulling him farther down. He was already up to his shoulders.
"Hang on, TK!" Izzy shouted, pulling with all the strength he possessed. TK slid out of the sand a couple of inches.
The tug-of-war went on for several minutes, first Izzy gaining the advantage, then the unseen opponent snatching it back.
With a final burst of energy, Izzy pulled TK completely out of the sand.
TK kicked wildly trying to get his attacker to let go of his ankle. Izzy saw what looked like a thick tentacle wrapped around TK's ankle and lower leg and picked up the best weapon he could find: a sharp, pointy stone.
"Hold on, TK," Izzy muttered, slashing at the tentacle. Finally, TK was released much to the two boy's relief.
The relief was short lived when their attacker made itself seen. It was a huge Digimon that looked a little like a Seadramon except with a fringe of tentacles lining its face. It let out a furious roar.
"Run!" Izzy shouted, dragging a stunned TK behind him.
The Digimon shot back underground and after them.

Snow whipped into Tai's face as he trudged through knee-deep snow in frozen tundra. The wind roared, sending snow into his eyes.
Whoever said snow falls quietly was dropped on their head one too many times, he thought.
He continued pressing through the blizzard, trying to see where he was going through the dense snowfall.
After nearly an hour of slow progress, he tripped over something partially buried in the snow. His curiosity getting the better of him, and he began to dig it out.
To his surprise, it was Bukamon and he looked like he was almost frozen. I'm in the Digiworld again, he realized.
Tai picked up the nearly hypothermic Digimon carefully and noted with apprehension that he felt like an ice cube. He looked at Bukamon for any sign of life and saw the steady rise and fall that meant he was breathing.
As he watched, Bukamon opened his eyes a crack and saw Tai.
"Tai, I didn't know you cared," Bukamon weakly joked from his position in Tai's arms. "Where's Joe?"
"I don't know where Joe is."
"I've got to find him," Bukamon insisted.
"Get some rest first."
Bukamon tried to argue, but he was too weak and he simply fell asleep still in Tai's arms.
I've got to get out of here before that happens to me, Tai realized.

Water lapped over Mimi's feet as the tide began to come in. She rolled in her sleep and muttered: "three more minutes, mom."
The water came up to her knees and she groggily groaned before sitting up and rubbing her eyes.
"Yaaah!" she indignantly shrieked upon noticing the water climbing toward her stomach. She stood and walked away from the water and onto the beach.
What am I doing here? Why am I on a beach? She wondered, looking around in confusion. The sun was pleasantly shining down on her and she sighed contentedly.
This would be a pretty nice beach, she mused, if they would add some food stands and volleyball nets.
Mimi yawned feeling fatigued and sat down on the warm sand. A little nap won't hurt anything, she decided, falling asleep quickly.

Sebrimon looked through the underbrush at the girl with the enormous pink hat and grinned.
Perfect, he thought. I can catch her and take her to Tobnamon easy. Then maybe he'll give me some respect! Hmmm. What kind of trap would attract her attention...?
Sebrimon pondered this point for a while, then snickered and thought: this'll be too easy!

Kryptmon smiled maliciously as he glided toward Tobnamon carrying Sora like a sack of potatoes.
"Here is one of the Digidestined, sir," he stated, kneeling in his master's presence and carefully transferring the girl to the ground.
"Ah, Kryptmon. Yes, you have done well," a hard, cold voice commended. "You may take your leave."
"Thank you, almighty one." Kryptmon rose to his feet and left Tobnamon's room quickly.
Tobnamon turned one of his large eyes on the girl and muttered: "arise, my friend."
Whether by Tobnamon's command or by a pure coincidence, the girl's eyes opened and she climbed to her feet.
Tobnamon walked around the girl, looking deeply into her eyes, which had turned from a warm brown to an intense red. Finally, when he arrived in front of her once again, he quarried: "and what is your name?"
"Sora," the girl mechanically answered.
"And Sora, who is it that is your master, that you have lifelong loyalty to?"
"You, Lord Tobnamon."
"Very good, very good," Tobnamon muttered under his breath. "You may take your leave."
Sora walked as though she was in a dream toward the heavy door and pulled it open with surprising strength.
This shall work quite well, Tobnamon thought.
