----------------------Chapter Twenty-Five – Start The Commotion! ------------------------

With Matthew, Taichi, Ryo, Kanaye, May, Maro, and Daniel…

(A/N: despite the previews from last chapter…these scenes are serious, but I'm adding some humor. The genre does say HUMOR.)

A straining, awkward silence was contained in the dim lit cell the seven were currently trapped in. Kanaye was in a curled up position against one wall, with Matthew sitting next to him, comforting his younger brother, who was worried sick about his twin. Taichi was leaning against the cell door, waiting for any noise to detect. Ryo was looking out the tiny bar window, depressed in guilt. Maro was on the opposite wall of Kanaye and Matthew with his head in his hands. May was leaning against the wall as well, close to Maro, with Daniel resting his head on her legs, but he was wide awake.

They had been there for over 3 hours, but they were on full alert.

Sakura and their digimon were on their way as they sat, waiting.

Hoping that Sakura wouldn't have trouble, they waited for her to open the door. They didn't have much time left.

Suddenly a door opened and closed, everyone's heads snapped up and they all stood up. Taichi moved next to Matthew, with Ryo coming up next to him. Matthew kept Kanaye behind him, with a determined expression. "Stand your ground." Matthew whispered when the footsteps came closer.

Seeing a shadow under the door, the lock loosened and the door slowly was pushed open. Seeing more than one Meramon, they backed down on their fight back plan. The younger ones were intimated with the Meramon, since they were all fire and somewhat tall. All Daniel and Maro knew was, the digimon were taller than their father, which is what freaked them out.

One Meramon came in with a large tray of different kinds of food on it. "Dinner." He placed it in front of Matthew's feet, and then walked out.

"Poison!" Maro pointed to the food as Taichi kneeled down to it to check it out.

"Oh shut up, Sunny." Taichi rolled his eyes. Ryo stepped up and pushed Taichi out of the way. "Hey!" Taichi yelled angrily.

"Shut up!" Ryo hissed. He grabbed something off the tray and smirked, holding something up; he showed the others, who gasped. "Those idiots."

Ryo willingly handed the sharp knife, that would've been used for to cut the large piece of meat that was given to them, to Matthew and he got straight to work. Matthew grabbed onto the bar door with one hand and began to attempt to cut at one bar. Taichi was anxiously next to him, watching. "This is going to take a while, so sit back and try to keep your strength up." Matthew said in concentration.

After getting pieces of the bars off, all they needed was 5 more off so May could fit through to grab the keys hanging on the wall across from them.

Matthew began slowing down a bit. Taichi got impatient. "Keep cutting, Scope!"

Matthew growled at him in frustration. "I am, you idiot! I'm going as fast as I can!"

Taichi bit his lip, but couldn't help himself. "That's what he said."

"ROMEO!" Matthew, Maro, Kanaye, and May yelled. Ryo paid no heed. Daniel didn't know what the heck was going on.

"That was SO not necessary!" May yelled.

----------------------------------------------

20 minutes later…

"I'm stuck!" May screamed at the top of her lungs. Half her body was out of the cell through the small circle they made at the door and half still inside.

"Jeez, May, you're the skinniest here and you still couldn't fit!" Daniel joked, but shut up when May gave him a death glare.

"Daniel…sleep with one eye open." She threatened, and then she screamed. "GET ME OUTTA HERE!"

Matthew and Taichi were trying to push her out, but it wasn't working. "Sorry, but you got a big butt here, May!" Taichi pointed out.

May sighed in anger. "You guys are such A-Holes."

----------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura went through the small hole that Lopmon made with her twister attack and waited for the digimon to follow. "I can't believe we had to go into that water…" Sakura complained. She was soaked head to toe. "Second time in less than two weeks…that's upsetting." Sakura sighed out.

Lopmon shook the water off and rolled her eyes. "You'll live, Sakura. Now let's locate your brothers and the rest of your team."

"Well duh." Gekomon stated. "Why else are we here?"

Lopmon growled. "Don't mock me."

Terriermon sniffed something. "This way!" He took off running, the others following his lead.

-----------------------------------------

Cautiously Lopmon opened a door leading to who knows where. Looking around carefully, she relaxed a bit and gave the signal that it was safe to go in.

Sakura walked in after Lopmon and Terriermon and her eyes widened. "Oh, that's not good." The whole room, which wasn't extremely big, was full of flashing lights, buttons, switches, and computers. "Where's Izzy when you need him?" Sakura muttered to herself.

BlackAgumon went up to one of the buttons and grinned. "I wonder what this one does!" He said, raising his hand to press down on it.

Everyone else freaked. "NO!" They yelled, making BlackAgumon jump away from the button.

They sighed in relief. "Sorry, but we need to be careful. This is such a delicate situation. Any button could be good…or it could be really, really unfortunate." Peckmon stated.

Gekomon got nervous. "You know what? Let's just get out of here! We don't need no buttons!"

"There could be something in here that could lead us to the others." Lopmon stated logically. "We're staying, putting our heads together, and do everything we possibly can to find something to find the rest of the team."

Gekomon groaned. "Bummer."

-------------------------------------

Sweat dripped down Taichi's face as he was on his whole body was on the ground, while his elbows dragged him across the room. Right now, many henchmen were hanging around the court yard and the team knew that there was a way out on the other side. So they all did Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who would be the one to crawl. Obviously Taichi lost. There was a wall of bushes against the castle, so away from the henchmen, Taichi crawled under the bushes; his clothes now filthy from the dirt and his hair having leaves in it. –Those jerks owe me!- He growled silently. -2 days before my birthday and they make me do this…are you kidding me?!-

Matthew and the others watched from behind the wall; Matthew poking his head out carefully to check on his twin brother.

"Is he almost there?" Maro asked quietly.

Matthew nodded. "He's a little over halfway." He informed them.

What was going to happen was once Taichi arrived on the other side of the court yard; he would cause a distraction so the others could simply run across quickly. What the distraction was though had not been decided just yet. They left that to Taichi.

Before Taichi could reach the other side, Kanaye spotted something up above. "Scope!" He whispered loudly, pointing to the one thing they hadn't noticed. There was a tower on top of the castle, looking over everyone. Someone was up there.

Matthew gulped. "That's not a good thing."

Once Taichi made it over, he carefully wasn't seen by anyone in the courtyard or in the tower. He looked around and saw a rock next to his feet. He quickly grabbed it and threw it over the digimon's head and broke a glass vase on the other side. Taichi smirked as everyone looked over there to worry about a broken vase as his team ran across. Suddenly a whistle was heard and everyone froze and looked up to the tower.

Someone jumped from the tower, onto the roof, then to the ground gracefully. The person came from the shadows with a smirk, looking to the team. "Gotcha."

----------------------------------

"Are you sure that you're sure that is for sure the right button?!" Gekomon asked, panicking.

Peckmon growled at the frog. "Yes, I am!"

"Are you sure-"

"Say "sure" one more time and I'll beat you into a bloody pulp!" Lopmon yelled, a little on the annoyed side.

Terriermon rolled his eyes. "Can we just get this over with already?"

"Yeah, I miss Taichi." Guilmon said.

"You just miss him bringing you food." BlackAgumon stated.

"Exactly!"

Sakura blinked at the digimon's attitudes. "Wow." –This is why we have separate worlds…because they have such random personalities!-

"Sakura."

Sakura snapped out of her thoughts from hearing her name. "Hm?"

"You push the button." Lopmon stated.

"Why me?"

"2 reasons. 1) it's your family and friends we're saving. 2) the rest of us are too scared to press it." Peckmon told her.

Sakura blinked. "Unbelievable." She did what she was told and went over to this sort of small-ish, round blue button that said secret. After 20 minutes of Lopmon and Peckmon calculating, they've discovered that this button will save Matthew and the others. "Here goes nothing." Sakura mumbled as she pressed hard onto the button.

"Uhh, was that button supposed to do something?" Guilmon asked.

Suddenly all the lights in the room and the whole lair go out.

"Yup."

-------------------------------------------------

"You digidestend really thought you could get out of my new castle undetected?" A voice in front of the group asked.

Matthew looked around and saw the henchmen coming towards them slowly. –Crap, this isn't good!-

"Cut the crap, Noah!" Taichi yelled. "We haven't done anything to you!"

Noah chuckled. "But don't you want to find MedEvilGallentmon….and SnowAgumon?" He smirked, knowing he was pissing Ryo off.

Ryo clenched his fist. "I want to kill you."

"If you even lay one finger on me, SnowAgumon will be deleted." Noah stated simply. "You are under my mercy, Ryo." All the lights surrounding the courtyard go out suddenly, but the emergency ones come on. "Who broke into the control room?!" Noah yelled at the henchmen. "It's got to be Sakura! Get her and bring her here!"

A Kiwimon nodded and ran towards the entrance. "Oh no, you don't!" Kanaye jumped onto the Kiwimon. "You don't touch my sister!"

The others saw the other henchmen heading towards Kanaye and went into action. "And you don't touch my brother!" Taichi yelled. He, Maro, Daniel, and even May went to help him.

"Take that!" May threw her heels at some of them. When they fell backwards from the impact, she got happy. "Yes!"

Matthew and Ryo, on the other hand, we're still facing Noah. "Give me back my digimon." Ryo growled.

"Why should I?" Noah asked. "You took Commandramon away from me, so payback, Ryo."

"Revenge isn't the answer, Noah, and you know it!" Matthew pointed out.

"Watch me."

----------------------------------------------------

"The emergency lights are on!" Terriermon yelled to warn them.

"That means they'll be coming here!" Gekomon freaked. "We got to get out of here!"

Sakura looked to the panel again and saw a lever saying "Do Not Touch". Sakura sighed. "Why do we teenagers got to be so curious?" She whispered as the digimon were coming up with a plan to leave without being noticed. She saw that the lever was quite a few large feet up, so climbed onto the panels, trying not to step on any switches or buttons.

"Sakura Takashi!" A new voice said, along with the door slammed against the wall. Sakura looked back and saw many henchmen digimon and Haru behind her, with the digimon surrounded. "Get down!"

Sakura shook her head. "No!"

Haru clenched his fist. "I wont tell you again! Get down or else I'll use force!"

Sakura ignored him and used all her strength to reach and then pull down the lever. Thankfully all the nights went out once again, only this time the emergency power was turned off. Suddenly a hand roughly gripped her ankle as she was trying to get down and she lost her balance and fell onto the floor, along with Haru.

"Sakura!" A distant voice called out to her, but Sakura lost consciousness once again.

---------------------------------------

Kanaye stopped struggling to keep the Kiwimon down suddenly and got a pain in his heart. "Sakura." He whispered. He suddenly was pushed violently off the digimon and pushed to the ground by another Kiwimon.

Taichi tried to fight them off, away from his brother, who was in la la land at the moment. "Kanaye, get up and go find Sakura!"

Kanaye looked to Taichi and gave a strong nod. "Thanks." He got up and dodged the digimon trying to tackle him and Maro blocked the entrance Kanaye just went through. Taichi went to help Maro out.

Ryo was trying to fight Noah away without physically harming him, since SnowAgumon's life was in Noah's hands…which kinda pissed Ryo off…just a little. (Sarcasm.) "Get off!" He yelled as Noah jumped on him to punch him.

Noah raised his fist, only to have it held tightly away from Ryo's face. Noah looked to see Matthew glaring at him, keeping a grip on his wrist. "I don't think so, Noah." He threw Noah aside and quickly helped Ryo up. "You okay?"

Ryo growled to Noah. "Just fine."

--------------------------------

Kanaye ran down the dim lit halls towards the control room….but… "Where is the control room?!" Kanaye suddenly asked himself out loud. Suddenly a shadow went under one lantern quickly. Kanaye saw a small digimon that was not recognizable there. "Hey…"

The digimon looked to Kanaye with bright blue eyes and then took off into the dark-ish hallway quickly.

Kanaye knew that he had to follow it. Maybe it would lead him to Sakura! "Hey! Wait up! Slow down!" He yelled as he ran after the shadow.

He turned the corner and the shadow was nowhere to be seen. Just a door straight ahead. "That's usually where the person you're looking for is." He began running towards it. "Sakura! Sakura!" He hit the door and it opened with ease, he looked in, walked in, with the door shutting behind him, he looked on and saw his sister lying on the stone floor with one single light hitting her. "Sakura!" He screamed after her with worry. "Sakura!" He slid to her side and shook her a little. "Sakura! Open your eyes!"

Her eyes fluttered open slowly. "Kanaye? Oh good. You're okay."

"Oh, man, Sakura." Kanaye let the breath he had been holding in out. "Are you hurt?"

Sakura groaned. "My head…and my knee…"

Kanaye looked her over and saw her leg wasn't looking good. "Okay, let's get out of here." He was about to lift her up until a laugh was heard. Kanaye looked up to see a shadow coming near them slowly.

"You two aren't going anywhere, Kanaye." Stated Haru as he finally showed his face. "It's going to be hard to go anywhere running for your life and carrying your sister, especially trying to not hurt her broken knee." He smirked.

Kanaye growled. "I hate you."

"You're going to hate me even more after I take you and your sister hostage." Haru said, snapping his fingers. Kiwimon came out, along with Dobermon. "Your teammates will definitely come after you."

"I got a better idea!"

Suddenly Haru slammed onto the ground, holding his red cheek. He looked up to Kanaye, who had violence in his eyes, with both fists tight. "Did you just hit me?"

"Yup." Kanaye said straight up. "You will let me and my sister go."

"I will, huh?" Haru snickered. "Guess again."

"No, you guess again!" A new voice was heard.

"Twin Cyclone!" Terriermon and Lopmon attacked together, blowing away the Kiwimon all together.

"Sakura, Kanaye, hurry!" Lopmon screamed.

Kanaye nodded, and then quickly picked up Sakura and ran with her towards the door, with Terriermon and Lopmon by his side.

Haru got up. "They're trying to escape! Get them!"

------

Matthew and Ryo ran to Taichi and Maro who were fighting off henchmen trying to get into the castle to find Kanaye. Matthew punched one away from Taichi and looked to him. "Where are the others?"

Taichi pointed to May and Daniel hiding up in a tree, since they really didn't want to fight. "And Kanaye went to look for Sakura, since most likely Haru went after her."

Matthew nodded. "Okay then. We need to get to them."

Ryo threw one off of Maro and kicked another away. "How?! There are many of them and four of us!"

"But we have to hurry!" Maro said. "Shy is in trouble."

"Yeah, well, so are we!" Taichi pushed Matthew out of the way and punched a Kiwimon back. "This is ridiculous!"

"You can say that again!" Maro commented.

Noah walked up to the four boys and smirked. "Give up! You cannot defeat us. You're out numbered and your digimon partners are not here to save you this time."

"Wanna bet?!" Suddenly Noah was pushed to the ground with a thud. He saw a red dinosaur above him. "Guilmon never let's Taichi down!"

Taichi grinned. "Better believe it!"

Noah kicked Guilmon off and stood up. "Unbelievable." He muttered as he saw BlackAgumon, Gekomon, and Peckmon next to their partners; not in the happiest of moods. Maro had his digi-egg tightly back in his arms protectively. "But we still have your sister." He smirked.

"Wrong!" A female voice shouted from the entrance. Everyone looked and saw Sakura getting a piggy back ride from her tired looking twin brother, who looked pissed; Terriermon and Lopmon at their side. "You can't keep us apart!" Sakura told him, and then sticking her tongue out at him.

Matthew and Taichi went to their siblings' side and glared at Noah. "She's right." Matthew said.

"Give up already, Noah, it's over." Lopmon stated simply.

Footsteps were heard behind them as Haru came up, with many Kiwimon.

Noah chuckled. "Nope. I don't think I will." Noah smiled. "The digidestend are all in one room. Kill them now!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
