"Black Widow?" Matt wondered. "Yeah! She suddenly kissed Ken and the next thing we knew, Ken fell unconscious with the venom oozing from his mouth!" T.K. explained.

"It was then that Cody knew right away that Black Widow is a kind of spider that injects a bad venom that can cause unbearable pain which can lead to the victim's death!" Kari continued.

"Yeah, I think I'd heard that from one of the Professors at the University! And I think they have the cure!" Joe said happily. "Really?" Davis stood up. "I think so…" Joe shrugged.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to Joe's university!" Davis yelled as he turned to leave but then was stopped by Joe. "Don't you know that THAT Antivenin is very expensive? What did you think, they would just give it to you for free?" Joe said.

"I haven't thought about that!" Davis said as he sat back down. "So… what're we going to do now?" he complained.

"I have an idea!" Cody raised his hand. "Why don't we get the same venom from Black Widow and make our own Antivenin?"

"What!? You can't make a very delicate medicine that easily!" Yolei said.

"No… he can't!" Joe nodded. "But, I can…"

"Are you sure about this? Isn't that stealing?" Kari asked Joe as they tiptoed within the halls of the University. "It's not stealing to me… I can use the ingredients for a project!" Joe said.

"But this isn't a project!" Yolei whispered. "Well, it's MORE than a project! It's a human's life we're talking about here!" Joe scolded.

"Let's just hurry up, okay? Cause I think someone's coming!" Davis said. "Quickly!" Joe said as they slipped inside the Janitor's closet.

Slowly, the footsteps began to fade. "It's dark…" Davis whispered. "Hey! Who touched my butt?" Yolei shrieked. "I can't see a thing!" Joe said. "Ow! Somebody stepped on my feet!" Kari complained.

It ended up for the 4 friends to fall out of the closet. "Come on, let's go!" Joe said as he ran to the Laboratory.

"Here it is…" Joe pointed out and took some flasks and vials. "And this too…" he enumerated to himself and took out a test tube with blue liquid on it. "This is the most important ingredient!" he said.

"Hurry, Joe!" Yolei said impatiently.

"Yeah!" Joe nodded as he started making the medicine. "Why can't we just steal the whole medicine that's been already made?" Davis complained. "And risk myself being expelled by this University? No way!" Joe said.

"You're still going to get expelled the same way if they find out you sneaked in here!" Davis said. "No they won't!" Joe said as he peeked through the microscope.

"How sure are you?" A cold and angry voice said as a professor came in the lab. 'Uh oh!' Joe thought. "M- Mr. Takano!" he stuttered.

"It sure is taking them a while…" Tai said as he looked at his watch. "Yeah…" Matt agreed as he crossed his arms.

"It… hurts!" Ken mumbled from his sleep as he started sweating from the pain. "Ken?" T.K. looked up. Tai immediately stood up and held the younger boy by the arm. "I… can't… stand it!" Ken winced as tears strolled down from his eyes.

"Fight it, Ken! You mustn't give up!" Tai said. "I can't, Tai! I… can't… fight… it!" Ken cried. "Quick, Matt! Call Joe!" Tai ordered. "Right!" Matt quickly ran out of the room. "Cody, get me some towels and some water! Quick!"

Cody instantly ran out without hesitation. Ken started yelling and wheezing as he gripped Tai's hand. The good news is, he can finally move. The bad news is, he's started thrashing around dangerously. "He's going to bite his tongue out if he keeps on doing that!" T.K. said as he ran to Ken's side.

"Stop it, Ken!" Tai exclaimed when Ken was about to bite his tongue off. "No!" he closed his eyes and fade away when he heard a crunch. When he looked back, blood started staining Ken's blanket.

"T.K.!" Tai gasped and found out T.K. slipped in his arm in time before Ken could cut off his tongue. Blood stained T.K.'s sleeves as he struggled to fight the pain in his arm. "T.K., get your hand out of there!" Tai said.

"No… I want to… help too… If this keeps Ken… from being… in trouble! Then… I'm going to… fight no matter… what happens!" T.K. struggled as he closed his eyes heavily.

"Even if it means losing your arm?" Tai yelled. "A friend is… more valuable… than an arm… right?" T.K. joked at a time like this.

"Tai, they're on their wa- T.K.!!!" Matt yelled across the room.

"Ken, let go of T.K.! He's starting to bleed!" Matt told Ken. Ken couldn't do so… the pain was too clear in his mind that he couldn't think of anything else.

"Ken, let go of him now!" Matt said, anger was present in the tone of his voice.

"We need it badly, Sensei!" Joe exclaimed. "Give me one good reason!" Mr. Takano said as he circled around the 4 Digidestines. They had no choice but to tell them the truth. "One of our friend has been poisoned by a Black Widow! We need to make the cure to save him… or it'll be too late!" Davis stepped up bravely.

"And how do you suppose you can get the Black Widow's venom as well? You need its venom to complete the Antivenin!" Mr. Takano said snobbishly. "I will be a bait for it and when Joe has the venom, he will make the amount of the medicine needed for the both of us!" Davis said without thinking.

Mr. Takano blinked and then started laughing loudly. "You're smart and brave…" he said as he placed a heavy hand on Davis's head. "…But stupid nonetheless!"

"You got a great friend here, Joe!" Mr. Takano turned to Joe. "H- Hai!" he said as he bowed. "Fine… I'll let you go this time… you better keep this to ourselves, we wouldn't want the principal to know, right?" he winked.

"Hai!" Joe smiled as he stood up, when suddenly, his phone rang. "Hello?" he answered. "Joe! Where are you? You got to hurry up, man!" It was Matt.

"Matt, calm down! Tell me what happened!" Joe said.

"It's Ken!" Matt breathed. "The venom is in motion again! He suddenly said that it hurts!" Matt panicked. "Hold on, we're on our way!" Joe said as he hung up. "Sensei, if you could excuse us… we're in a hurry!" Joe said politely.

"Alright, run along!" Mr. Takano sighed. "I'm letting you go since this is the first time you did it… I won't even think about your tardiness! You're an outstanding student, Joe!"

"Arigatou, Sensei!" And with that, the DDs run off.
