Up Against the Wall

Shadow- "Another short chapter. (sorry!)"

Renamon- "Instead of apologizing, why don't you write something longer?"

Shadow- "I'm busy... with stuff..."

Renamon- "Of course you are. Regardless, Shadow does not own digimon."

Shadow- "And please, don't forget to R&R!"

The silver and gold digimon stepped through the other side of the portal it had made, and looked around.

It was on a small, snow-covered platform with a bottomless abyss on three sides. On the fourth was a massive wall, extending up and up and out of sight. There was no way to leave.

Perfect.

The digimon flew up, watched the digidestined leave the first portal, and opened up a second where it was floating. It vanished through it, and the portal quickly sealed behind it.

The humans were trapped.

Perfect.

Matt banged his head against the wall. He was angry, frustrated, and now had a headache on top of it. He groaned.

"Whose bright idea was this?" he asked.

Yuamon shifted uncomfortably. "..."

Kratomon sighed. "At least we can fly. We'll see if there's a way out up above."

"We'll come with you!" Tai said, pulling out his digivice.

"No." said Yggdramon. "Your Biomerged forms are strong, but this could take hours, maybe even days, to find the top. Your forms aren't complete enough to last that long."

Izzy sighed. "Fine. We'll stay here. I'll see if I can find anything about this place through my computer."

The four mega digimon nodded, then flew up into the sky, with only a momentary backwards glace from Martamon.

The digidestined looked down at the ground, depressed. Tai suddenly smiled. "Hey come on guys, cheer up! We'll get out!"

The only answer he got was Matt starting to bang his head on the wall again.

"..."

"Hey."

"..."

"Wake up."

"..."

"Rika, wake up!"

"...huh? What?"

"Look."

"...They're here..."

"Apparently."

"...That's just great..."

"Well, let's tell that stupid dragon. He might at least be able to open the gate."

"...yeah..."

"Are you okay?"

"Hm? Yeah, I'm fine."

The banging noise ceased. Izzy looked up from his computer. Matt had finally stopped banging his head against the wall, and had sat down next to Sora. Izzy shook his head.

Incredible what people can do when they set their minds to it...

His computer dinged.

Izzy looked down. About time it found something...

He tapped a few keys, then frowned. Only one folder appeared in the screen. He clicked it twice.

The folder opened, showing them a picture of the wall directly in front of them. Yeah, real helpful...

Orange lines suddenly appeared on the screen, highlighting a portion of the wall off to the left of the platform. Izzy looked up.

Nothing had changed.

He sighed, and walked over to the spot in the picture. For a second, nothing happened.

Then, as nothing continued to happen, Izzy put his hand on the wall.

An orange outline appeared where he put his hand, and two panels slid away, revealing a small screen and a keypad with letters and numbers on it.

As the screen fizzed with static, a voice came from the screen: "Izzy? Is that you?"
