DISCLAIMER: I will never, in the history of my entire lifetime, own Digimon. It would be awesome if I did. :)

Author's Note: Before you read the next installment of my story, I would like to say that I only have two people writing reviews to this story. Do I only have two fans left?! Now before I go cry in a dark corner, I also would like to mention that Ziva is indeed how you spell her name and that she replaced Special Agent Kaitlin Todd. I also want to mention I have decided to write up a cross over fic with Digimon and NCIS after I finish writing this one. What could be better than my two favorite shows in one fic? Me also owning both shows. Ha… a guy can dream. Well off to the corner…

… With that said, enjoy.

Hope in All That is Darkness

Chapter Four- Divided They Fall

The digidestined were packed and ready to go by the time Davis dragged Kari back to Izzy's, about an hour later. The seven of them managed to pack enough food to last them a good week if they needed. Izzy got his computer ready as Tai and Agumon, Sora and Biyomon, Davis and Veemon, Ken and Wormmon, Takeru and Patamon, Kari and Gatomon, and Michael and Wizardmon prepared for the cyber trip.

"Okay…" Izzy said. "I created the gateway. It will close as soon as you guys get there. I'll only be able to do this once, so you guys won't be able to return until you restore the Digital World to normal. Are you guys ready?"

"We're all ready," Tai replied.

"Alright everyone… Initiating program now…" A bright bluish white light emerged from the computer onto the group of digidestined. The group was then sucked into the computer and then vanished. "Good Luck," Izzy muttered. "You may really need it."

The group of kids traveled through a tube of white energy. They were floating at a slow speed, slower than they usually traveled on their past trips.

"Why are we going so slowly?!" Davis yelled.

"It's because Izzy has a weak connection with the Digital World network!" Michael yelled back. "It will probably only take a few more minutes to get there.

Suddenly the tube began to rumble. The infinite white began to glow red. Waves of electrical energy began to shoot out through the sides of the tube.

"What's going on?!" Tai shouted.

"Something is trying to destroy the connection we set up!" Michael yelled. "The cracks on the side of the tube can be seen shooting up from the bottom of the tube on from the opening on the Digital Worlds side.

"We'll be trapped!" Sora shrieked in horror.

"No we won't! Whoever is trying to destroy the connection Izzy established started too late. They didn't realize we were coming in time. The rate in which we are traveling is faster than the rate in which the cracks are forming. We'll get there before the tube implodes."

"How do you know for sure?" Ken asked.

"Well…" Michael began. "I developed a good sense of observation from living in the Digital World for a good six years. My eyes can see how fast things move. Plus I did go back to the Human World to go to school… I wasn't going to miss out on an education. Math was my best subject." Michael looked forward. "Okay… This is the end of the tube."

"Be prepared gang!" Tai yelled out as they were once again engulfed in white light.

* * *

When the light faded, Tai, Takeru, and Kari and their digimon were facedown on the ground. Tai got up and looked around. The entire area was completely void of any color. Everything was in black and white except for a few digimon he saw wandering around. Tai then looked back on the ground. He then ran over to Takeru and Kari and helped them up. "Are you guys okay?" he asked.

"Yea… I'm fine." Kari answered.

"Same," Takeru replied.

Tai took another good look around. "Do you see any of the others?" Tai asked.

Takeru and Kari both looked around. They both then looked at Tai and nodded a sad no.

"Where could they have gone?" Tai pondered.

Just then a hand emerged from the group of bushes and grabbed Tai's arm. "Ahhhh!" Tai screamed. "Agumon! Do something!"

"No problem Tai," Agumon said rushing to his partner's aid. "Pepper Breath!" Agumon fired a ball of fire from his mouth into the bush.

"EEEEEEEEEYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! That's hot!" yelled a voice coming from the now burning bush. Michael and Wizardmon jumped out of the bush and rolled around on the ground until the fire was out. They then both got up and brushed the ashes off of them.

"Oh… it's just you two," Kari said rolling her eyes in dislike.

"Michael, are you okay?" Tai asked, rushing to Michael's aid.

"I'm fine," Michael replied, sarcastically. "I only have burns running down my body." Michael let out a sigh. "It's fine. I'll be good to go in a minute or two."

"What were you doing in the bushes?"

"I was scouting around to see if the others were around here. I couldn't find any of them. Then I checked the digivice. They seem to have landed a few miles north of here."

"So then let's go find them."

"My thoughts exactly."

The four digidestined and their digimon began to walk forward. Suddenly, an axe flung around the field and landed a few feet in front of the group. Then, before the digidestined could react, a tall, green digimon flew through the air and landed down in behind the axe. He then picked up the axe and pointed it towards the digidestined.

"Well… well…" he began. "Look's like you guys made it through the gateway before my axe could fully demolish it. Congratulations on making it to the Digital World… or should I say what's left of the Digital World. Now before I begin to hack you four into pieces, I might as well introduce myself. I am Boltmon. I am Daemon's current right hand man and the digimon in charge of his armies. I felt that I should personally welcome you four here. I would ask for all of your names, but I doubt any of that will matter seeing that you won't be alive for long." Boltmon the lunged towards the digidestined with his axe in hand. "Tomahawk Crunch!" he called out, swinging his now glowing axe.

"Agumon…!" Tai called out.

"Wizardmon…!" Michael called as well.

"Digivolve!" The two yelled together.

"Agumon digivolve to…" Agumon yelled. "… Greymon!"

"Wizardmon digivolve to…" Wizardmon yelled. "… MegaWizardmon!"

Greymon charged towards Boltmon. "Tri-Horn Attack!" He cried.

Boltmon grabbed Greymon by the horns and tossed him through the air. Greymon landed on the ground, battered to a pulp, de-digivolving into Agumon. "Who's next?" Boltmon calming said, looking straight at MegaWizardmon.

MegaWizardmon charged in Boltmon's direction. "Magical Blast!" he yelled, firing a beam of magical energy towards Boltmon.

Boltmon jumped to dodge the attack and dove down from the sky right towards MegaWizardmon. "Tomahawk Knuckle!" he yelled, punching MegaWizardmon with a glowing green fist. MegaWizardmon went flying backwards and out of sight. As Boltmon landed, he looked over to see Takeru and Kari going to grab their digivices. "Tomahawk Crunch!" he swung his axe towards the two, knocking them both down before they could pick up their digivices. "Well this wasn't as fun as I thought. You guys were supposed to be more of a challenge. Oh well. At least I can report to Daemon that four digidested perished this day." Boltmon raised his axe as to strike Takeru and Kari when Tai yelled. "Huh?" Boltmon turned his head towards the brunette.

"Let me make you a deal!" Tai called out. "I'm the leader of the group! Take me as a prisoner! Bring me to Daemon! Let him do what he wants with me! Just spare the others!"

"Hmm. That's not a bad idea. I can bring you back to Daemon. He'll make you a trophy. All digimon will fear the digimon who has the leader of their saviors captured. Alright… it's a deal." Boltmon slammed his axe down onto the ground and a cage formed around Tai and Agumon. Boltmon then grabbed the cage and began to run off. "I'll be back for the rest of you later!"

"Nooooooooo!" Kari yelled as she, Takeru, and Michael watched as Boltmon ran off with Tai and Agumon.

"Well actually…!" Boltmon called back. "I'll leave you with a parting gift. Tomahawk Crunch!" Boltmon then swung his axe and a red wave of energy shot towards the three remaining digidestined. All but a giant explosion could be seen as Boltmon ran off, heading north, with an angry and screaming Tai and an unconscious Agumon.

Note: How was it? I'm going to remain in this corner unless I get at least a couple more reviews. It's not like I'm asking for your immortal souls. My birthday isn't for a while. Anyway… I'm also looking for idea's for the Digimon/NCIS crossover and want to know if I should involve the digimon or write two fics involving the digimon in the second one only. Reply in the reviews plz. Remember to R and R and that Leroy Jethro Gibbs knows everything you do (He just doesn't always understand certain things. That's why he is a detective.). See you all soon… maybe.
