So, I'm back... I guess you some of you ACTUALLY WANTED MORE... so... ok.
Disclaimer: I still don't own Digimon. I tried taking it but I guess I'm not "With the guild" So they took it back and almost arrested me. I know people.
Chapter 4
Taking Action.
Matt and Tai were now in the digital world.
"So, where should we start looking?" Matt asked
"I don't know. Maybe we could ask someone around here?" Tai suggested.
"Well, I guess it's worth a shot."
They walked into a nearby forest.
"HELLO!? IS ANYONE HERE?" Tai shouted.
"Quiet!" Matt said as he quickly clamped a hand over Tai's mouth."Did you hear that?"
There was a quiet rustling from the bushes.
"What do you think it is?" Tai whispered as he cautiously started towards the bushes.
"I'm not sure."
"Tai? Matt?" A familiar voice asked behind them?
Recognizing the voice, the boys turned around.
"Agumon?"
Sure enough, he was standing behind them.
Gabumon was next to him.
"Why are you guys here?" Matt asked them curiously.
"We were going to ask you guys the same thing." Gabumon responded
"Well it's kind of a long story." Tai informed him.
The boys then informed the two digimon of all that had happened.
"Well, it's a good thing we're here then isn't it?" Gabumon suggested.
"Yeah. We're going to need help." Tai pointed out.
"Well, first of all we need to find out where Reese is." Matt reminded them.
"Yeah, but-"
Tai stopped talking as the crest in his pocket began to heat up.
He pulled it out of his pocket in time to see another transmission begin to be shown on the crest.
"WHERE ARE THEY?" A voice boomed at Reese.
"I- I don't know what you're talking about!" He responded, panickingly.
"DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME!" He shouted. "I KNOW ABOUT THE OTHER HUMANS! NOW TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE!"
This obviously suprised Reese.
"TELL ME!"
"I don't know anything! I swear!"
The figure picked up Reese by his shirt collar and slammed him against the wall.
"TELL ME OR I'LL KILL YOU!"
Reese was panicking. What could he do? He had to think of something quick.
"They are... directly south of here. At the foot of that strange reddish looking mountain."
"HAHA, I KNEW I COULD GET IT OUT OF YOU SOMEHOW!"
He then proceeded to throw Reese to the floor and left the room.
"Guys..." Reese mumbled."...I hope you were listening...I-"
He was cut off by a high pitched scream.
"HAHA, LOOK! THE BRAT HAS A NEW FRIEND!"
This suprised Reese, as cold be seen by the look on his face.
"Put me down! Let go!" The voice cried.
The door then slammed open.
A young looking girl was thrown in, the door firmly locking behind her.
She had curly, bright blonde hair. Her skin was also a light color.
She looked at Reese for a moment but quickly looked away.
The crest stopped transmitting.
The boys sat in silence for a few moments.
Matt was the one to break the silence.
"So,I suppose we should find this mountain he was talking about."
"I can help with that." An unfamiliar voice butted in.
"What? Who said that?" Tai responded.
Slowly, a small, red, dinosaur-like digimon emerged from the bushes.
"Wait," Matt started."You're Zashmon,right?"
"Yep! You must be Matt and Tai! Reese told me about you guys before... he was..."
Zashmon's voice trailed off.
"We understand." Matt assured him."You must be upset."
"They were too tough. I tried to protect him. They..."
His voice trailed off again.
"We know... but you said you could help us find him?"
Zashmon snapped back into reality.
"Oh yeah...it is behind you guys!"
The boys turned around to see a mountain.
"But that isn't red in the slightest!" Tai exclaimed.
"Well, it isn't now, but it will be." Zashmon assured him."But for now we should start walking."
And with that they started off.
It was dark in this room.
He was lonely in here.
He didn't think it could get any worse.
But it did.
He had been in here for almost two weeks.
Now they had thrown her in here.
They could have found anyone, but they got her.
Of course they had gotten her.
She was going to be caught eventually.
But he needed to forget about her.
He just hoped his friends could help.
He wasn't sure how long he could keep this up.
It was night now.
They were in the middle of a forest.
"Look!" Zashmon exclaimed."See it now?"
Sure enough, they saw it.
The mountain they had been heading toward now had an eerie reddish tint to it.
"So, should we keep going, or set up camp for the night?" Matt asked.
"Well, I think we should rest up, in case we need to fight!" Gabumon suggested.
"Me too!" Agumon agreed.
"Well I guess we might as well!" Matt said."What abou you Tai?"
"Yeah, I guess so...what do you think Zashmon?" Tai asked.
"Actually...I...I thought...nevermind...I'm going to go do something...be right back..."
Zashmon replied before he wandered off into the forest.
"What do you think that was about?" Tai asked as he and Matt began to make a spot for the fire.
"He probably just has a lot on his mind." Matt responded.
"Yeah but...I don't know... he seemed nervous about something..."
"It's probably nothing!" Matt dismissed it.
"Hey, we're going to go find Zashmon!" Agumon and Gabumon shouted."Be back in a few minutes!"
As they left it began to rain.
"Great! What else could possibly go wrong!"
That was when the crest lit up.
Reese was still in the room.
She was still here too.
He hated this. He didn't want to ignore her.
But he had to! If he didn't, they would die.
Splish!
Reese was caught off guard.
Splash!
There it was again!
Reese looked up and saw something he hadn't seen before.
A small grate that appeared to lead to the surface.
It was just barely out of reach.
Maybe if he jumped, he could reach it.
He jumped and barely hung on.
He was weak and hadn't eaten in days.
He had to feel around for something better to hold on to.
He felt a clump of grass and grabbed ahold of it.
His fingers dug into the soft, wet soil.
He fell down pulling the clump of wet dirt with him.
He fell into a small puddle.
He looked up only to get a face full of water.
He had pulled out the only thing saving them from being drowned in water.
The room was going to fill with with water soon.
He turned his head to see she was awake.
He wanted to talk to her, but he couldn't.
He decided to try again, before the room filled up.
He reched his arm through the bars and shook it wildly.
"HELLOOO? SOMEONE? ANYONE? HELP!"
He fell, barely being able to stand the stream of water pushing him downwards.
He stayed sitting until he heard a small thudding noise from above
"I could have sworn I heard someone"
Reese stuck his arm back through the grate.
"IN HERE!"
His hand was met by another hand.
The stranger tried to pull him up.
"Gosh," He chuckled."You sure are stuck, aren't you?"
"Yeah, and the room is filling with water! Can you help?" Reese asked hopefully.
"Sure, just give me a minute."
Reese heard a thud and metal clinking together.
"Alright, move aside."
Reese looked around him.
The water was up to his shoulders.
"Aaaaand done!"
Reese looked up.
The grate was gone.
The stranger extended his hand.
"Come on!"
Reese grabbed his hand and he was pulled up to the surface.
"Wait here, I'm going to get your friend."
He lied on the grass as he waited.
He looked up to see them talking.
"Thanks for helping, but I need to go."
She walked off into the night.
He turned to Reese.
"What about you?" He asked.
"I...I don't really know. I need to find my friends." Reese responded.
"Why don't you come back to my camp?" He suggested.
"I guess so."
Matt and Tai couldn't decide what to do.
"Do you think that guy is trustworthy?" Matt asked.
"I hope so." Tai answered.
"We should... go to sleep." Matt suggested.
"Yeah... We can find him first thing in the morning.
The rain had subsided.
The boys went to sleep.
Tai woke up first, then Matt shortly afterward.
"You guys!" Agumon shouted."We need to show you guys what we found last night!"
"What is it?" Tai asked.
"A campsite!" Agumon answered.
This caught Matt's attention.
"Tai, you think it could belong to that guy we saw last night?" He asked.
"Well, if it is, Reese is there too. We should check it out." He responded.
So they decided to go see it.
Reese woke up in an unfamiliar area.
"Well, I see you're awake."
He turned his head to see a stranger.
He had short blonde hair, a pair of jeans, and a T-Shirt
"How are you feeling?"He asked.
"I...I'm fine."
"Good. What is your name?"
"Me?"
"Well, you're the only one here."
"Oh...My name is Reese."
"Well Reese, my name is William. Nice to meet you."
Reese began to look around.
"Where are we?"
"We're at my campsite."
That was when Reese notice it.
He had a black crest around his neck.
"Is that one of the cursed crests?"
"Ah, so you know what they are?"
''Yes but...How are we talking?"
"So you have one?"
"Yes but..."
"So tell me... Don't you hate it?"
"What?" Reese asked, bewildered.
"Do you want it to end?"
"Want what to end?"
"The curse!"
"Yes...That is why I need to defeat Zulerimon."
"How much do you want it to end?"
"More than anything."
"Stand up."
Reese did as he was told.
He didn't know why, but he felt obligated to do what he was told.
"Close your eyes."
Reese continued to listen.
"Now trust me. Don't open your eyes, no matter what, ok?"
"What?"
"Just do it!"
"Alright,alright..."
He sat for a minute, then he heard footsteps.
He felt an arm push him against the a tree behind him.
"Just keep your eyes closed and it will end soon."
Reese decided to take a little peek.
He didn't think he could trust William yet.
When he opened his eyes, he wished he hadn't.
William was pulling a small knife out of his pocket.
"I said KEEP THEM CLOSED!"
Reese understood what was going on.
"Let me go!" He shouted.
"No! You don't need to suffer anymore! Now stop struggling!"
Reese tried to fight him, but he couldn't.
He hadn't eaten in days, and was still weak.
"It's all over! Stop struggling!"
Reese saw William swing theknife toward his head.
He closed his eyes as he prepared to die.
End of chapter 4.
