Tai POV
"We're back in the digiworld!" agumon gasped
"But what about Davis?" Tai looked around anxiously
Before anyone could answer the scampering of feet pattered the ground excitedly. They all looked around to see a bright blue bouncy digimon bounding towards them. Right at his side was a caterpillar digimon with legs that ran like wheels. Their hopeful faces beaming at the other digidestined.
"Where's Ken?"
"Yeah! And where's Davis?"
Wormmon wove in between the legs of the digidestined worriedly looking for his friend. Veemon on the other hand wasn't going to waste time looking for someone who wasn't even there. His tone and stance was accusatory.
"We thought they were with you?" Kari asked apprehensively
"Oh dear" Wormmon whimpered
"Tell us what happened!"
He instantly stepped into his role as leader and found the shoes still fit comfortably. He needed to know everything that had happened. If he had to search for the rest of his life he'd find the missing digidestineds. There was nothing that could stop that.
"I was waiting at home for Ken to come back. There was an email on the computer screen telling me Ken needed me. I clicked on the link and found myself beside Ken in this strange world. It was so cold and dark. I tried to help him but he was in so much pain. That's when I saw this man. He made everything I feared come to life"
Tai watched as Wormmon sobbed a rain of distressed tears as he related the story. Veemon, sensed his friend's pain and gently laid one clawed hand on the digital worm's back, causing Wormmon to glance up at him as the gentle clawed hand rested on Wormmon's head, giving the little digimon comfort.
Veemon's beady red eyes were evidently craving to be with Davis but he maintained his usual optimism. He took it upon himself to continue the rest of the story.
It told much the same as Tai and the others had expected it to go (with the added shock of Davis opening a digiport from his own home). Davis had taken veemon to the digiworld to rescue Ken and leafmon (who was now wormmon). The two had been briefly stopped by the same field of sleep the rest of the digidestined had encountered. Like Tai, Davis had been awoken by whispering voices who had told him where Ken was. Davis had agreed to gamble the lives of his friends to save them all...
"Darkness said he would let us all go if Davis passed all three tasks but if he failed even one of them then we'd all die" Veemon finished off
"Then where are Ken and Davis?"
Sora voiced what they were all thinking. It didn't make sense that Lord of Darkness would let veemon and wormmon go but not Davis and Ken. Although they doubted there was any real coincidence in the matter. No there had to be some sort of method in Lord of Darkness' madness.
"Check this out! I think Davis and Ken are in the real world!"
They all spun around in shock. Cody was staring at his digivice as if it were about to attack him. The new digidestined all pulled out their digivices. There was no blue or purple dot marking the missing digidestineds.
"Prodigious, that must be why our digivice's started working. I'll bet during the challenge most of the power was being absorbed by Davis' digivice. My guess would be that because the digiegg that the digital guardians gave Davis, harnessed the little power that our digivices could use and transferred it to his own digivice" Izzy's eyes lit up
