A/N: Sorry for the wait. I had been delayed of wait cause of well, certain things. Anyway, please enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 4: The bandits arrive:

After Guilmon and Pikachu had left, the village went on in their entire lives to normal but some people, like Agumon, Patamon, Veemon, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, their lovers, as of course, Renamon and Lucario still thinks that Guilmon and Pikachu would stay.

However Patamon spotted something coming towards the town. He used his binoculars and see.

"What can you see?" Charmander asked.

Patamon put down in binoculars in utter fear.

"Darling, what's wrong?" Gatomon asked worried.

"I… I… M… M…" Patamon stammered.

"Spill it out" Veemon encouraged.

"IMPMON AND MEWTWO ARE COMING!!!!" Patamon cried.

The whole town gasped.

"Impmon and Mewtwo are here?!" Treecko gasped in horror.

"They must have come for Guilmon and Pikachu!" Buziel gasped.

"We must hide so they won't see us!" Agumon said as he and the boys hid in their home and the girls ran to their pub.

The boys peeped out to see Mewtwo and Impmon stopping in the village. They looked around the what-to-seem deserted village.

"So, Mewtwo. What is the plan?" Impmon asked.

Mewtwo closed his eyes and used his psychic powers to scan the village. Then he opened his eyes and pointed to the pub where the girls are hiding. He used two fingers to point to the pub to Impmon.

"That one!" he said.

Impmon nodded and he and Mewtwo get off their horses and entered the pub. The boys gasped in horror as gun fire was heard and girls screaming.

"TREECKO!" Charmander was about to go in after them but Squirtle and Bulbasaur held him back. Patamon was about to go in to rescue Gatomon but Agumon and Veemon stopped him.

Suddenly Impmon and Mewtwo came out of the pub and tossed Renamon and Lucario onto the dirt ground. Renamon and Lucario slowly rise but Mewtwo slammed his huge tail onto Lucario pinning her down on her front and Impmon grabbed Renamon's head and pulls her up. Both girls scream in agony.

"Perfect. These two are the ones who are with those traitors alright" Mewtwo sneered.

"Let's take them back to our new headquarters here, strip them and get some answers from them" Impmon grinned.

As Mewtwo and Impmon dragged Lucario and Renamon away, the boys made their way to the pub and rushed to their loved ones, who were injured on the ground.

"Gatomon, are you alright?" Patamon asked in worry.

"I'm OK, but those two villains got Renamon and Lucario" Gatomon said as she and the girls slowly get up.

"Who knows what evil they planned for them?" Chikorita said.

"They must be planning to use them as bait for Guilmon and Pikachu" Veemon said "I must get going."

"Veemon, where are you going?" AquaVeemon called.

"To go and find Guilmon and Pikachu. We need their help if we going to defeat these two villains!" Veemon said.

"Good idea. Take my horse" Agumon said "we'll heal our lovers and wait for their return. Good luck."

Veemon nodded and gets onto his horse and galloped off to the same direction Guilmon and Pikachu were heading.

Behind the shadows, Darkrai, one of Mewtwo's henchmen saw them leave and rushed to a secret tunnel in the village. Mewtwo was there with his news.

"I saw a Veemon galloping off to where Guilmon and Pikachu are. Is this a part of your plan?" Darkrai asked.

"It is indeed. Go after them and hold them long enough to get everything in plan" Mewtwo said.

Darkrai bowed and ran off after Veemon. Mewtwo entered the cave to see Impmon there. Tied to some chairs and gagged with cloth around their mouths, Renamon and Lucario struggled to get free but couldn't. Their clothes are ripped into bras and loincloths.

"So when do we get our revenge?" Impmon asked.

"Later. But now, we need to think what to do with these two" Mewtwo said as he looked into Lucario's terrified eyes.

"I say kill them" Impmon said. Renamon looked at him in terror.

"No. We want them alive and use them as bait for those traitors" Mewtwo said. He kept thinking. "I know… Impmon, I know what we're going to do with them."

Veemon's horse galloped as fast as it could across the desert and Veemon is holding on to dear life.

"Hope I can find Guilmon and Pikachu soon. Renamon and Lucario's lives could depend on it. YA!" And he galloped further.

He has no idea that Darkrai was galloping after him.

To be continued…
