Chapter Ten

The Warriors jumped down into the pit where Takuya's Spirit was housed. The safe was sealed shut once again, and this time there was no Cerberumon trying to get to it. The others weren't so lucky about finding it right away.

"So, how do we get to it?" Koichi asked his brother, not being with them until they had all found their Spirits.

"I don't know either." Kouji admitted. "I joined them later, remember."

"Well I joined ya now Sugas!" Ranamon shouted excitedly, then froze. "Someone's nearby."

"Then I'd better hurry." Takuya said. As he held out his D-Tector, a glowing light flickered on and off.

"Me thinks thee hath broken it." Mercurymon stated, only have to himself.

"You sure you're doing it right?" Arbormon questioned him.

Takuya nodded and tried again. "Spirit!"

A light briefly flashed over the safe, a fire starting over it. Takuya unknowingly stepped towards it, as if he was under it's trance. As he walked into the fire, a blur could be seen mirroring him, until they became one.

Unlike last time, Takuya remained himself and, breathing harshly, spoke oddly, his voice split in two. "Guys, why are you staring at me?" His face was one of confusion. "Well, that was weird." He joked, Takuya's voice back to normal.

"You think?" JP said, startled at Takuya's sudden change.

"Hello again." Someone said, their voice eerily quiet. "We have some unfinished buisness."

With the Goggleheads

"What do you mean 'missing?'" Davis shouted at Ken, making the boy flinch.

Ken answered him, rubbing his head. "They're gone Davis, they've left."

Only now realizing that he had screamed in Ken's ear, Davis wrapped his arm around his back. "Sorry, I'm just mad at them." He clenched his fists. "They don't have partners or anything, and now they decide to go off on their own?"

"I agree!" Takoto said calmly. "I couldn't imagine being out in the Digital World without Guilmon."

"We've got to find them." Tai ordered. "Takoto, Guilmon doesn't happen to have a super sense of smell, does he?"

Takoto smirked. "Guilmon, I need your help sniffing someone out."

"Can I have some bread if I help? Please Takotomon?" Guilmon asked his Tamer, his golden eyes pleading.

Takoto laughed, holding his head in his hands. "I'm not a Digimon, boy, but yeah. I'll make sure mom and dad save some bread for you!"

"Guilmon bread?"

"Yes, boy!" The Tamer replied. "Now, I need you to track the Warriors."

With the Warriors

"Takuya, who's this?" Kouji asked him, scoffing the Digimon.

Takuya laughed quietly. "Cerberumon, I kinda deleted him when I got my Spirit the first time?"

"Well, now it's our turn to delete thy gent." Mercurymon said. "Dark Reflection!" His mirrors darkened as black enery formed, releasing at Cerberumon.

"Don't forget about me Suga!" Ranamon shouted gleefully. "Dark Vapor!" She threw out her arms as an acid cloud form between them, tossing it as hard as she could towards their attacker.

"Me is helping too!" Grumblemon raised his hammer over his head. "Seismic sledge!" He yelled, bringing the hammer down on Cerberumon's head.

"Fine, fine." Abormon grumbled. "Roundhouse Punt!" Abormon extended his hands, preforming the move that had caused them so much pain.

Cerberumon began to fad in and out, his data reforming an egg. "This isn't over, Warrior of Flame." He growled.

"Not ova! I think it is Suga!" Ranamon said, raising on gloved hand. "Fractal Code Digitize!" No one spoke as the purple gems ond her hand glowed as the Fractal Code was purified, just stared at the smallest Warrior. "What?"

"You just Digitized Cerberumon's fractal code?!" Takuya stuttered, still trying to wrap his head around the matter.

"Well, we do it," Zoe started, defending her friend. "So why can't they?"

"You killed him?" A broken voice stammered from above the ridge. "You just killed him, and you absorbed his data?"

The Warriors looked up to see the Digidestined, gazing at them with a combintation of shock, grief, and most of all, anger. The worst were TK and Davis, glaring at them with pure anger in their gaze.

"We didn't kill him." Zoe defended her friends. "We purified his data, seding his Digiegg back to the Village of Beginnings."

"Let me get this straight," Izzy said, wanting clarification for one of his many theroies. "You purify a Digimon's data, by killing him?"

"There was no reason to destroy him!" TK yelled, wanting nothing more than to knock some sense into these so called Warriors.

"Well I'm sorry, Digidestined." Kouji sneered. "We have past with that Cerberumon and it isn't pretty." Tauntingly, he added. "I take it back, nothing has! You don't know this world, we had to kill to survive. If we didn't, well, we wouldn't been in this mess because Lucemon would have already taken over! I might not know what your world is like, but this isn't anything like it and if you can't handle it, find the Trailmon to take you back home!"

The boy yelled, before turning and running towards the forest. Koichi glared at them for a few moments, before dashing after his twin, leaving the rest of the Warriors fuming. No one spoke, stunned by Kouji's accusation.

Takuya's body shook with anger, his brown eyes lit with flames. "Why?" He murmed quietly. "We have lost more than you could imagine, but you question our antics in our world."

"So you think Kouji's got it bad?" TK shouted at him. "I lost my partner, almost twice, and there was nothing I could do!"

"That is nothing compared to our loss!" Zoe yelled, unable to stay calm any longer. "I'm tired of you making exuses about why we're so terrible!" Turning away, she added. "I have some brothers to find."

Davis PoV

Davis watched as she ran off, his eyes a mix of anger and confusion. "Zoe, wait!" He called, racing to find her. The boy sprinted around the woods until he found Zoe, tears running down her face. "Z-Zoe?" He stuttered. "Are you alright?"

"Go away." Her voice shook. "You are just like the rest, trying to come up with an excuse for why we are so terrible."

"Um, actually," Davis started awkwardly, rubbing his head. "I kinda like you!" He blurted out, a rosey color spreading across his face.

"You do?" Zoe said, wiping her tears off her face. "But I thought-"

Davis pulled her into a standing postion and looked her staight in the eye. "Zoe Orimoto, I don't care what the others say." He blushed harder. "I really, really like you, and I hope you feel the same way."

Zoe gave a small smile and nodded. "I do feel the same, so- um."

The whole time, there were three Digimon hovering nearby. One was Kazemon, whose soft giggles were only matched by or X-Veemon's goofy grin. Watching the two was Zephyrmon, a smirk visible on her face along with a single raised brow. First Zoe and Davis, and now Kazemon and X-Veemon?

Kouji's PoV

Kouji ran threw the forest, letting his feet lead the way. As he stopped, he noticed a familier cave entrance in front of him. Looking around, the Warrior of Light carefully treaded into the dark tunnels where he had first met Lobomon, because somebody decided it would be a great idea to push him into a hole.

The boy soon reached the main cavern, where several holes littered the stone floor. Kouji instinctively went for a hole in the middle of the room, somehow knowing this was where he had fallen. Kneeling down, he perpared for the tricky part; getting down to his Spirit.
