Chapter 9- And So it Begins Part 3

"Izzy!" The voice said. "Come on wake up"

The computer whiz opened his eyes only to meet those of his partner. He let out a grunt as he covered his face with both of his hands. "What happened?" he mumbled.

"Don't you remember?" his partner asked him. Izzy just gave him a 'explain' look which earned a sight from Tentomon. "Well you just got out of the shower when you check your compute good thing you changed before checking it" he said. Izzy quickly looked at his wardrobe which consisted of his brown cargos, brown shoes and his orange bottom up shirt which was over a green shirt. The thought of him coming to the digital world naked quickly ran through his mind which he shook it off immediately. The voice of his partner brought him back from his thoughts. "Then an e-mail appeared you said it was from Gennai, and then all I remember is a bright light" he explained.

"Wait what?" he asked.

"Well you jus-" Tentomon was beginning to tell his story again but he was interrupted by Izzy.

"I get it I just…are we back in the digital world?" He asked. Izzy quickly got up from where he was lying. He looked up to see he was surrounded by trees that seemed to be blooming, it reminded him of spring.

"Well what do you think?" Tentomon asked him, looking up to his partner. His question just received a nod.

"Hey Tentomon Willis is waking up" A voice said.

The two turn around to be met with a digimon with long ears. "Well do I have something in my face? Don't just stand there come on!" Terriermon shouted as he motioned them to follow him.

"Wait Willis is here!" Izzy exclaimed.

"Yeah, his by that curve" Tentomon said pointing at the direction that lead to a curve.

The two quickly ran to the curve that was near them only to be met by a blonde boy who was just waking up and his two partner digimon.

"Ugh where am I?" The boy asked. It took a while for him to open his eyes. The sun light was directly hitting him. He blinked rather rapidly to take in his surroundings. "Oh" he said "Izzy I expected you to be here" he said with a grin on his face.

"Yeah I figured you would" Izzy said. "Willis how did you get here?" he asked the blonde.

The blonde got into a thinking pose by putting is hand in his chin. "Well if I recall correctly I was walking with Ken and Davis, we were heading towards Yolei's store when suddenly this portal opened if you would say"

"A portal?" Izzy said questionably. He remembered he got to the digital world through his computer. Suddenly he remembered his fist trip to the digital world. "Willis by any chance did this 'portal' happen to be a bluish greenish color?" he asked.

"Yeah I remember seeing it before a bright light took over and then here I am, I just don't know what happened to Ken and Davis" Willis said.

"Don't worry Willis I'm sure they'll be fine" Tentomon assured him.

Suddenly Willis's digivice stated to beep. The blonde took out his digivice from his pocket. A bright golden light came out of it blinding everyone who was near. Everyone tried to cover their eyes with their arms. The golden light only got more intense. Willis who was holding his digivice felt a warm sensation, he took a quick glance at his digivice, even though he couldn't really see due to the bright light he could feel it changing form.

A few seconds later the golden light started to diminish. As it cleared out everyone's eyes drifted to Willis's hand and the new device that was now in his hand. His digivice had now changed into a golden with a silver center D-3. Another light came out of his pocket revealing his new D-terminal.

"It cha-change" Willis said as he took a better look at his new D-3.

"Well yes it has after all you are a member of Davis's team, so it was logical for your digivice to change into a D-3 same thing happened to T.K and Kari, after all this is your first time in the digital world right" Izzy explained. He had realized that the blonde boy was a member of the newer digidestined, therefore he concluded that his digivice would change, however he kept thinking about the bright light that had change the digivice and the new color of it.

"Yeah this is my first time in the digital world" Willis said. His gaze was still focused on his ne D-3.

"I don't want to interrupt the moment but I think there's another person over there" Lopmon said. He pointed towards a bush behind them; a rustle in the bush could be heard. As they all looked at the bush they've notice a tall buff boy with brown hair. He was wearing gray pant with brown shoes, a white undershirt with a green varsity jacket with white sleeves and a blue thunder bolt at the back.

"Uhm Hi" he said as he noticed they were all staring at him. Wow that was some trip huh"

"J.P!" Izzy exclaimed in as his jaw dropped by looking at the boy in front of him who was his former classmate. Izzy remembered the tall boy from his class, they never actually interacted only beside a 'hi' or 'bye'. The only time they had any real interaction was when they got paired up together for a school project. Izzy had to admit, even thought the boy was very interested in sports he was incredibly smart and logical.

"Hey Izzy I haven't seen you in a while" the tall boy greeted as he put both of his hands in his pockets.

"Uhm you two know each other" Willis said as he looked at the two boys back and forth.

"Yeah" they both said in unison which surprised them as they both laugh.

"Anyways J.P this is Willis his from America" Izzy introduced him "and Willis this is J.P Shibayama he's a former classmate of mine." Izzy then noticed how J.P hadn't started to ask question like any other person would, he noticed that he hadn't even said anything about the digimon who at the moment were just staring at the three humans, his thoughts were interrupted by J.P's voice.

"Oh look its Lopmon, I haven't seen you in a while" The brunette said as he picked the bunny digimon with his arms. Lopmon wrapped one of his ears around the boy's neck. There was something familiar about the boy, but Lopmon couldn't figure it out.

"I am sorry, but I believe you're confusing me with another Lopmon" the bunny digimon said.

"Hmm I guess you're right" J.P said as he looked at the bunny digimon that reminded him of one of the three celestials.

"J.P you know about digimon?" Izzy asked. He was surprised how the brunette knew Lopmon's name.

"Yeah after all, this is not my first trip to the digital world" he said.

"Wait you mean to tell me you're one of the digidestined we've been looking for" Izzy said in amusement.

"I wouldn't use the term digidestined but yes, yes I am" he said "and I know you're one of the digidestined my team is been looking for"

"I can't believe this" Izzy said still shocked that one of his classmates was a digidestined.

"Uhm J.P is it, if you don't mind me asking where's your partner?" Tentomon asked as he flew around the tall boy. He had noticed how the boy seemed to be alone without a digimon partner.

'Oh great where's Taki when you need him? Uh ok come on J.P you have to think of a way to explain thing, Grrr this is not going according to plan' he though. Like all the warriors he was trying to avoid this question. They had all decided that they would explain their 'ability' together to the rest of the digidestined. They knew that it would be better if they all explained their 'situation' one time.

"Uh you see… Well I-" he was interrupted by a melody.

A musical melody could be heard. They all turned their heads trying to locate where the melody was coming from. The musical melody only got more intense. Tentomon let out a painful scream.

"Tentomon!" Izzy shouted as he ran and kneeled besides his digimon partner. "Come on speak to me"

"Izzy I-I'" He tried to speak but the pain inside of him only got worst. A purple light engulf his body, it cause the others even Izzy to back away from the insect digimon. The purple light made his body grow.

A gasp came out of both Lopmon and Terriermon. "Ahhhh NO! I think Oh man" Terriermon said as he started to panic.

"He's digivolving!" Lopmon said filling in what his twin couldn't say.

"WHAT!" the three human said as their eyes drifted to the evolving digimon.

Izzy quickly took out his digivice, it didn't do anything, it wasn't glowing its usual purple color whenever Tentomon digivolve, it was just its plain color. His eyes just widen, then he remembered something that happen and it was very similar with whatever was happening to Tentomon.

"IZZY LOOK OUT!" Willis shouted as the now evolve Kabuterimon grabbed him with one of his arms. Izzy had been so deep in thought that he didn't even notice his digimon was attack him!

"Come on Kabuterimon it's me" Izzy said as he stare at the big digimon. He could feel the grip on him tighten more and more.

"He doesn't listen to you anymore" a female voice said.

Everyone turned their gazed to the female figured that was standing in one of the tree branches.

"A-A-Arukenimon" Izzy recognize the women in her human formed.

"Glad to see you remember me" she said before a smile spread on her face. "Ah what a tragedy this will be, a digimon destroying his own human partner. Don't worry it will be quick, or not" Arukenimon took out her flute and played the same melody that was playing before. Kabuterimon just let out another scream.

'She must be the digimon Tommy and Zoe mentioned' J.P thought. His gazed dropped on Izzy as he noticed how the red head tried not to scream in pain. 'I have to do something quick before Kabuterimon's grip gets any stronger' Terriermon's voice brought him back to reality.

"Willis! We have to digivolve before Izzy knocks out" Terriermon said as he moved his little arms up and down.

"I guessed we have no choice but you have to be careful and not hurt Kabuterimon." Willis said as his face took on a worry look.

"Yeah like that'll be easy" Terriermon said sarcastically as he folded his arms.

Willis just sighted and took out his D-3 "You guys ready"

"We were born ready Willis!" Terriermon said in his usual optimistic tone. Lopmon just sweet dropped.

A golden and silver light came out of Willis's D-3 which then combined and hit both of the twin digimon.

"Terriermon digivolve to….. Gargomon"

"Lopmon digivolve to….. Turuiemon"

As the two lights diminish the two champion level digimon stood. "You get Izzy I'll deal with spider woman" Gargomon said as he started to run towards the flute playing women.

"Gargo Lasers!" Gargomon started to fire his laser beams at the woman. Te laser beams seemed to have hit her, but as the smoke clear from the attack Arukenimon was nowhere near. The melody which by now was becoming annoying could still be heard.

"Oh please like a bunny would be able to defeat me" she said as a smirk spread through her face.

Gargomon turned to see the woman standing in another branch. "I'M NOT A BUNNY" he shouted at her as he fire his laser beams at her once again.

Like last time Arukenimon had anticipated the attack. Her opponent was very predictable to her, she waited until the last minute to move. And like before when the smoke from the attack clear she was somewhere else. "Like I said a bunny can't defeat me." Her gazed fell on J.P as an idea came to her "Ah you've been so quiet over there aren't you coming out to play…Warrior of thunder"

J.P gasped. "How do you know that?" he growled at her.

"There's a lot I know" she said calmly. "So what's it going to be warrior?" she asked as she continued to play her flute.

Willis was paying attention to their conversation 'Warrior of thunder? What are the-' snd then it hit him 'Could it be, impossible, but yet possible' he thought.

"Fine if that's what you want I'll play your game" J.P said a smirk in his face. He quickly took out his blue and yellow D-Tector. A stream of data formed around his left hand. He brought his left hand and connected it with his D-Tector. "EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" Multiple streams of data formed around his body as a lightning bolt revealed a humanoid digimon in a blue armor "BEETLEMON"

Willis, Gargomon and Turuiemon who was dodging Kabuterimon's attacks and was thinking of a way to free Izzy all stare at the new digimon that had just joined them. They replay the last thirty seconds that had happened. They all seemed speechless at seeing a human turn into a digimon, the digimon who had helped them before.

Arukenimon just smirked as she saw the tall warrior. "Welcome warrior of thunder and let the games begin" she said. Arukenimon grabbed her flute and started to play a different melody. This melody seemed to be more intense. 'You'll give in sooner or later' she thought.

Beetlemon just looked and was starting to move towards the woman. He suddenly stopped. 'What's going on?' he thought. He felt the music become a pain inside of him causing him a huge migraine. He clutched his head with both of his hand as he let out a scream. He felt his body betraying him and starting to lose control of his body. He closed his eyes tightly.

"Haven't you figured it out yet, my flute controls insect type digimon" she said in a laughing manner.

Willis gasped, the help that they just had gained was now lost "This just made a turn for the worst" he said.

Bettlemon open his eyes, his usual green eyes were now filled with a bloody red color.


I feel two auras around me. I'm just sitting here in the middle of nowhere, it's plain dark just how I like it. The darkness has always comforted me it's quiet and peaceful, it's exactly like me.

"Koichi" I heard Lowemon's voice called me.

"Yes?" I answer him. I opened my eyed as I looked at Lowemon's brown orbs which were my own.

"You must wake up now, training it's over. You're getting better at this no doubt about it you'll master your ability soon." He said. I could see him smiling proudly. I'm surprised myself on how quick I've gotten the hand of things.

I feel a strange sensation, what's happening. It's weird it's like a fight its happening, whats going on?

"Koichi do you feel it?" he asked me. So it's not just me who feels this strange sensation.

"Yes but what is it?" I asked him. This is strange there's clearly something wrong going on.

"Listen you must find Koji and the others hurry…"

I know he is saying something else I just can't hear it.


"You think he'll wake up soon?" a voice said.

"Shhhh I think he's waking up" another voice responded.

Koichi open his eyes and was met with two unfamiliar faces, well at least one unfamiliar face the other one was recognizable. He could tell the two boys were staring at him and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Are you feeling better?" a dark blue haired boy asked. He was wearing a white long sleeve shirt with grey pants and shoes. There was something about the boy that Koichi could relate to he just didn't know what.

Koichi just nodded to his question as he looked at his surroundings. He could see they were in some type of forest. The tees were just blooming and it gave a calm atmosphere, at least that's what he thought.

"Well now that you're awake we should get going and look for the others" another boy said. He had brown hair with a shade of red. He had on a blue shirt with one white line and two green lines going across, a dark blue sleeveless jacket, dark green cargo shorts and dark blue shoes. The thing that caught Koichi's eye were the goggles, they reminded him of someone… correction he reminded him of someone.

"Davish can we go now I'm getting hungry" a blue digimon said. He stomach started to growl. Koichi couldn't help but let out a small laugh.

"Veemon you're always hungry!" the goggle boy said.

"Don't mind them they are always like that" a green worm looking digimon said. Koichi just smiled at him.

"I'm sorry we haven't introduced ourselves" the blue haired boy said. "My name is Ken Ichijouji and this is my partner Wormmon" the boy introduced himself as well as his partner who took a stand next to him.

"Ken Ichijouji? Oh no wonder you look familiar you're that kid who's a genius" Koichi said as he pointed to the kid in front of him. Now he knew why he looked so familiar.

"Yeah he's the famous genius. I'm Davis Motomiya and the hungry guy is Veemon my partner" the other boy introduced himself as well as his hungry partner who just pouted.

'Davis? No way the Davis, the one who Takuya talked about, but wow…. Now I see the resemblance, no kidding it really runs in the family… goggleheads.' Koichi thought as he remembered his fellow teammate.

"So you're the famous Davis huh?" Koichi said as he looked at the surprised boy when he mentioned the word 'famous'.

"What I'm famous?" Davis questioned with a confused look.

"No, I just heard about you from a close friend. Anyways I'm Koichi Kimura and it's nice to meet you all" Koichi introduced himself with a smile.

"So Koichi tell me what are you doing here huh?" Davis asked him. He gave him a skeptical look that didn't intimidate Koichi at all, in the contrary it made him laugh.

"I could ask you the same thing" he responded in a serious tone.

The others just looked at him as they tilted their head. Koichi couldn't help but to find all of this funny.

"So you've been here before?" Veemon asked him.

Koichi remembered his first time in the digital world, which happened to be an odd one considering the fact that he was a spirit if you would say. So this was his first time being in the digital world…physically. However it counted as his second. "You can say that" he answered.

"So you're a di-digidestined" Ken concluded. Koichi just nodded to his question.

"Uh yeah not to be the one to break the introduction but we should find the others" Wormmon suggested as he hopped into his partner's shoulders.

The five of them started to walk. Koichi and ken got along rather quickly. He couldn't help but remember Takuya when he talked to Davis, the two of them were so much alike. Koichi didn't doubt one second that Davis was the leader of his team. The two boys had been so nice to him and he appreciated it, he did wondered what would their reaction be when they find out he was the warrior of darkness. They talked the whole way as they were walking occasionally they would break a fight that started with Davis making fun of Veemon's hunger and him getting angrier every minute.

"I'm exhausted" Veemon said as he collapsed to the ground. His stomach was now growling louder than before.

"He's right we could use some rest" Ken suggested as he took a seat near a tree.

"Well we bett-" Davis was about to suggest something when he got cut off by an explosion.

They all covered their eyes due to the dust that was cause by the 'explosion'. As the dust started to clear out thy saw something that made them worried. Right there in the middle of the pat laid the two unconscious twin digimon. They were all scratch and bruised.

"Terriermon! Lopmon!" Veemon called as he got up from the ground an ran towards his two friend. Te other's following him.

Koichi took Lopmon in his arms as he remembered the celestial digimon that had given him the best gift he had ever gotten. He looked as the little digimon and quickly noticed that him and his brother had recently been in a fight that would soon resume.

"Come on Terriermon say something?" Davis pleaded at the small digimon. He too was very beat up, he seemed to be in a worst condition than his twin. "Wait, where's Willis?" Davis asked as he noticed the blond boy was nowhere in sight.

"Willis…" Lopmon mumble in a low tone. Koichi had been confused on who Willis was when it click that he was the two digimon partners.

A musical melody started to play. Everyone looked around to see where it was coming from. Wormmon let out a scream as he collapse on the floor.

"Wormmon what's wrong buddy?" Ken asked his partner as he started to aid him. Wormmon only clutches his head with his two arms.

A purple light engulf him which caused Ken to back away. As the purple light diminish, in the place where Wormmon laid now stood Stingmon.

Ken took a look at the stall digimon, whatever made Wormmon digivolve it wasn't anything good. "St-St-Stingmon" he could hardly say his partner's name. As Ken look at his digimon he noticed that he was in some kind of trance.

The musical melody still played. From the trees emerged Kabuterimon who was holding two unconscious boys in his hands. There was another digimon in blue armor that Davis and Ken recognized from Izzy's computer but that Koichi knew all too well.

"Ah I see you met my pets" a voice said. The boys turned to look at the woman dressed in red with a flute in her hands. She snapped her fingers and in an instant Stingmon made his way to stand behind her. "I'm sure you remember my precious flute"

"Not this again" Davis groaned. He and his team had already dealt with Arukenimon and her flute. The little sketch was now annoying to him. How dare does she tried to control digimon again. "Seriously are you that old that you can't remember you tried this already" Davis said with an annoyed tone in his voice. He knew in his mind that he had hit a spot when he called her old.

Arukenimon let out a growl and started to play her flute. Stingmon along with the other two digimon surrounded the three humans and the three digimon.

"I can't believe she still has that flute" Ken said as he looked directly at Stingmon.

"So the flute controls them" Koichi said. It wasn't that hard for him to figure it out. He looked at the blue armor digimon. 'Come on J.P you have to snap out of it' he thought.

"I guess is up to you and me huh buddy?" Davis said as he looked as his partner. They both had a smirk in their faces.

"Let's do it" Veemon said as he pumped his fist to the air.

Davis took out his D-3 and pointed it at his partner. A blue light came out of it as Veemon was engulf in it.

"Veemon digivolve to…. X-Veemon"

The blue dragon took flight. "So it's three against one" He knew he couldn't hurt Kabuterimon and Stingmon, the other one he didn't want to after all they were all being contro, but if he had to he would. He started to approach him when Koichi stopped him.

"NO STOP!" Koichi yelled as he saw X-Veemon approaching his friend.

"Koichi, why did you stop X-Veemon?" Davis asked the boy.

"He's my friend" he said bluntly as he looked at the blue digimon. "He's my friend and I'm the only one that can help him" he said as he handed Lopmon to Ken who took the small digimon in his arms.

"WAIT! Are you going to tell me that your digimon partner!" Davis said as he looked at the blu digimon in amazement.

"No way!" X-Veemon said as he looked at the raven haired boy. That cost him though as the blue digimon punched him and send him to the ground.

"X-VEEMON!" Davis shouted as he looked as his partner who was sent far away from them. He growled. They were all in trouble X-Veemon was their only hope but he was now sent away from them, Terriermon and Lopmon were still unconscious and even if they were awake they will be to injured to fight. They were toasted or so he thought.

"Beetlemon you have to listen to me you have to snap out of it before you hurt anyone else" Koichi tried to get some sense into his friend but it was helpless. Beetlemon took his fist which quickly was gathered in lightning, he was about to hit Koichi with it when X-Veemon tackle him to the ground which caused both of them to rolled on the floor.

"WATCH OUT" Ken shouted. X-Veemon turned around to see Stingmon attacked him with a pink spike. X-Veemon let out a scream of pain as the spike made contact with his shoulder. Beetlemon was quick enough to grab him from the back holding his arms, X-veemon struggle against Beetlemon's grip. Stingmon was about to attack him with another spiking strike when Koichi shouted.

"STOP!" He yelled. Koichi was now walking towards Arukenimon who was still playing her flute. "That's enough" he said firmly.

"Is it I think we are still missing one player, three against one seems a little bit too unfair don't you think" Arukenimon said with a smirk. "Your friend is struggling there you should help him"

"No I rather help you play a better tune" he said with a smirk. Koichi's hand reached his D-tector in his pocket, he took it out. A stream of data formed in his left hand.

"Koichi what are you doing? Be careful" Ken told him.

Koichi smiled as his hand made contact with hi D-tector. "EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION" Multiple streams of data covered his body along with two lion heads made out of a purple fog, as the Streams of data disappeared their stood the legendary warrior of darkness. "Lowemon"

Ken and Davis's eyes widen as they saw the human boy who turned into a humanoid digimon in black armor. This was one of the digimon that had helped Izzy and the others, as well as Beetlemon who was being controlled by Arukenimon.

"And the lion joins the party" Arukenimon smirked. Lowemon just stared at her with a plain look. "What cat got your tongue?" she joked. Again he just stared. "Oh well Beetlemon" she called.

Lowemon turned to look at Beetlemon who had now let go of X-Veemon. Beetlemon was making his way towards him.

"Beetlemon stop you must listen to me" Lowemon took note of Beetlemon's eyes; they weren't their usual green color. "I know you're in there J.P"

Beetlemon suddenly stopped his actions, he was frozen when he heard his name "J.P" he said in a low tone. Arukenimon noticed he was making a connection with his human side, and decided to play a different tune. The new tune made Beetlemon to continue to what he was supposed to do.

Bettlemon quickly grabbed Lowemon by the arms and took to the skies. That had become a disadvantage to Lowemon considering he couldn't fly. With fore he hit Lowemon with his fist and sent him to the ground with a large thud.

He opened his eyes slowly and looked to his right as he saw X-Veemon and Stingmon having their own fight. He was unfocused to see Beetlemon approaching him with his thunder fist. The fist made contact with Lowemon's abdomen. The attack sent multiple charges towards his body. With the force e had he managed to push Beetlemon off.

"X-Veemon you must destroyed the flute" Lowemon said as he quickly got up.

"I'm a little busy" X-veemon responded as he was trying to avoid Stingmon's attack from itting him.

Lowemon growled he had enough of it. He made his way towards Arukenimon but Bettlemon got in his way. "J.P stay out of my way is for your own good" Bettlemon didn't hesitate in attacking him. This time Lowemon hit him with his own attack "I'm sorry about this…. SHADOW METEOR"

The attack hit Beetlemon which sent him back taking with him Arukenimon who was standing behind him. Arukenimon was pushed back, she didn't let go of the flute but in the process it got damage. Crack.

'It worked' Lowemon though as an unseen smirk spread on his face. His plan was to get the flute to receive at least some damage. He knew that when Beetlemon stood in his way the only thing for him to do it was to attack him something Arukenimon didn't expect.

"Ugh what a headache" Beetlemon complained as he put a hand on his head. "What just happened?" he asked.

"Good to see you back to you old self" Lowemon said as he offered him his hand to help him up. Beetlemon took it instantly as he looked around he saw what had happened and everything started to come back to him. "Sorry I attack you but I had to" Lowemon apologized.

"Hey no worries I would have done the same thing" Beetlemon said.

"Yeah I wouldn't want to be the one to rin the reunion but I could use some help here" X-Veemon said as he was trying to hold back Stingmon from flying.

"Lowemon you help him, I have some business to handle" Beetlemon said as he started to walk to Arukenimon who was still on the ground.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" she warned. "If you come closer I can have him blow both of those boys" she said as she gathered herself up and pointed towards Kabuterimon. "I haven't put him in battle just yet but I can have him electrocute those two boys in a heartbeat" she threatened.

Everybody looked up to se Kabuterimon who had done nothing while the ohers where in battle. He seemed to just be there and still have a strong grip on both Willis and Izzy. He was froze but with one melody he could kill both of them.

"SHADOW LANCE"

Lowemon had taken the advantage of everyone being focused and threw his spear towards Arukenimon. She got out of the way before she was hit but in the process dropping the flute. Beetlemon ran towards the flute and smashed it with his foot, once the flute was smashed in dissolve in to bits of data.

Kabuterimon and Stingmon both shook their heads as they came to reality. Kabuterimon gasped as he saw he was holding two unconscious boys in his hand. "NO! Izzy!" he decided to lay both boys in the ground next to Ken and Davis. He quickly de-digivolve back to Tentomn "Izzy come on speak to me" he pleaded as he saw his partner starting to wake up.

Izzy rapidly blink "Tentomon you're ok" Izzy said as he hugged his partner.

"Shouldn't I be the one saying that" Tentomon said. "I'm sorry Izzy please forgive me" he apologized.

"It's ok Tentomon it wasn't your fault" Izzy assured him.

Arukenimon took the opportunity to escape as she watched everyone starinng at the 'reunion' in front of her eyes. "Enjoy your time while you can, this is far from over" she said in a low tone as she back away and disappeared in the shadows.

Lowemon, Beetlemon, and X-Veemon turned around just in time to see her escape. They couldn't do anything now she was gone.

Stingmon and X-Veemon de-digivolve to their rookie forms and made their way to the three who were still unconscious.

"It's my entire fault" Tentomon blamed himself as he looked at the unconscious form of Willis and his two partners.

"Hey don't blame yourself, you didn't know what you were doing. That wicked witch was controlling you… as well as me" Beetlemon said from behind. Tentomon turned around as he saw the tow warriors. "It's you and YOU!" he said as he pointed to the two of them.

"Yeah hey look his waking up" Lowemon said as Willis started to wake up.

"Uh hey guy" the blonde said as he gathered himself to be in a sitting position. He looked to his right and saw his two partners in Davis and Ken's arms. He remembered what happened how he managed to get on top of Kabuterimon and him being captured.

"Don't worry they'll be alright" Koichi said. Both him and J.P had gotten back to their human forms when everybody was paying attention to Willis.

Soon both Lopmon and Terriermon started to stir and wake up.

"Arg what a headache" Terriermon said as he stated to look around.

"Yeah no kidding" Lopmon said as he started to look around as well. "WILLIS" they both shouted as they jumped into their partner's arms.

"Careful you're still injured" he told them as he hugged both of the digimon.

"So what's your point?" Terriermon said which made everyone laugh.

Everyone was laughing, but Koichi suddenly stopped as he turned around.

"Hey buddy what's wrong?" J.P asked him. There was that look again, the look that always said something's wrong, this look J.P knew all too well. Everyone stared at Koichi as he seemed to be staring at the woods. "Uh Koichi?"

"Koji…" he said in a low voice. J.P noticed Koichi clenched his hands.

"Who's Koji?" Ken asked.

"My brother" he said in a low voice. Koichi closed his eyes. There was something definitely wrong, he clenched his hands harder.

"Koichi what's wrong with Koji?" J.P asked him. He could feel that if something was happening to Koji, Koichi most definitely could feel it. By the looks of it, it didn't look good.

"Koji's in battle"


End of chapter. This chapter has got to be one of the longest I've written. Well like I mention last chapter I told you we will see what happened to Koichi. Well I included a bit of his dreams I hope it was good. I wanted to include something that linked both Koji and Koichi, I've always though they had a strong twin connection. I'm still a little new in writing battle scenes so I don't know how good I'll write them. Uhm I don't know when I'll be able to update this story there are many things I have to do and so little time, so sorry about that. Well hope you liked this chapter, and I'll see you in the next update.
