Chapter 11

"Um…is anyone here?" Yamato called desperately into the darkness that surrounded him. "Anyone?"

"Yamato? Is that you?" said a voice. Yamato couldn't quite distinguish who it was or where it came from, but he thought it was Ken.

"Yeah it's me," he replied, turning around. It was Ken alright, and he looked rather confused and disoriented. He kept looking around as if he recognized where he was, but his eyes clearly told that he had no idea where he was at all. Yamato looked around and took in his surroundings. Complete darkness…that's all it was. No solid ground to stand on, no colorful scenery…not even evil scenery! Just…darkness. Then it hit him.

"This is where we fought Apocalymon," he said. "If I remember correctly…"

"You do," said another voice from the darkness, which Yamato clearly recognized as Taichi. They waved at each other and Taichi continued, "How the hell did we get here?"

"The lightning," Ken said. Taichi and Yamato looked at him as if he was crazy; Ken shook his head. Clearly they didn't remember. "We got hit with some attack from OkamiMyotismon, and it was some sort of lightning…you two both got hit pretty hard; I managed to only get hit once. It still hurt like hell though, let me tell you!"

"I still have no idea what you're talking about but I'll take your word for it," Taichi said, then turning to Yamato added, "Is anyone else here?"

"No, no one else is here," Ken butted in. "I looked all over the place, and I couldn't find anyone."

"Damn it," Taichi breathed. "I was kind of hoping Yukira would be here…"

"So you could hit on her relentlessly?" Yamato laughed. Taichi glared at him and replied through gritted teeth, "No, so she could come up with a plan, you ass. She was always coming up with plans, remember?"

"Well so was Iyami, and Koushiro, and sometimes even Jyou. Yukira's not the only one we could use right now…"

"I love how you put Iyami first in that list…" Taichi retorted sarcastically.

"Back off, she's my girlfriend," Yamato growled. "You wish you had a girlfriend."

"Why don't we worry about making a plan instead of who wants to go out with who and who wishes they had a girlfriend?" Ken said, trying to prevent a fight.

"I could if I wanted to," Taichi said, ignoring Ken.

"You mean if Yukira would actually realize that you exist," Yamato laughed. "Does she even know your name?"

"Um, of course she does…we talk all the time," Taichi said rather matter-of-factly. His face was starting to turn red; he was getting rather angry at Yamato, because this conversation, in his opinion, did not need to be had right now.

"Uh-huh…and when are you going to ask her out?"

Taichi blushed. "When I get around to it…" he said feebly. Yamato laughed and said, "So basically never…"

"I didn't say that!" Taichi cried angrily. "Why the hell are you being such a jerk?"

"I'm not, Taichi, I'm being honest," Yamato said. He was rather enjoying himself. "You're never going to get around to it, even if you say that you will. Taichi I know you…you'll have a fit before you ask her!"

"What the hell is your problem!" Taichi cried, throwing a punch at him.

"Hey, calm down both of you!" Ken cried, trying to step in between them, but getting thrown to the side by Taichi.

"Ken, stay out of this," he said.

"No, you're both being idiots! You can have this conversation later, after we've finished with OkamiMyotismon!" Ken replied angrily.

"What's my problem, you ask?" Yamato said, continuing the argument. "You're the one with the problem, Taichi. You're supposed to have the Crest of Courage…act like it for once instead of being so hot-headed and dumb!"

Taichi lost it at that point. He threw himself at Yamato, punching him in the face and pinning him to the ground. Yamato kicked him off and returned the attack, punching Taichi and pinning him to the ground. Taichi struggled, but Yamato was much more powerful than he was at that moment, and he could not break free of his grasp.

"Taichi, come on," Yamato said, standing up and holding out his hand to Taichi. "Just ask the poor girl before she bursts into flame!"

"What?" Taichi said, taking hold of Yamato's arm and pulling himself to his feet. "Yamato why would she just spontaneously combust? I mean, I know she's a little spacey, but..."

"Taichi, get it through your thick skull!" Yamato smacked him hard about the head.

"Ouch! What is it I'm supposed to get?" he said, rubbing the newly formed bump on the back of his head.

"Taichi, she's completely obsessed with you! She's…do you ever talk to Daisuke?"

"No not really…the only thing we ever really talk about is soccer…"

"Well, in case you haven't noticed, he and Yukira are best friends…they go everywhere together. She tells him everything. Ask him, he'll tell you. She likes you quite a bit, you know."

"Uh-huh…and pigs can fly to the moon without space helmets." Ken sniggered at Taichi's comment, but quickly silenced himself.

"Look, we need to worry about the fight," Taichi said, trying desperately to avoid pressing the matter any further.

"Well, getting out of here should be interesting," Ken said. "Unless one of you could conjure up lightning like OkamiMyotismon did."

"Um, no Ken…that's not going to happen any time soon," Yamato said.

"Well we can't just resign ourselves to stay here," Taichi said. "We've got to get out there and fight."

"We'd probably just die anyways," Ken replied somberly. Yamato nodded.

"Well, at least we'd die trying," Taichi said. "Besides, we've never given up before, so why start now? I'm willing to face death, because that's about the only way I'm going to give up." There came a sudden loud beeping from Taichi's belt; he pulled his digivice off and stared at it.

"Whoa, that's weird," Yamato said, staring at his as well. Each one was glowing, Yamato's blue and Taichi's glowing orange. Ken pulled his D-3 from his pocket; it was glowing just like the others', but a bright pink. He looked up at Taichi, who was slowly being surrounded by flames, and then to Yamato, cold ice wind blowing around him out of nowhere. They both looked dazed, their eyes out of focus. The wind caught the flames and rose upwards, twisting around each other and coming back down to surround Ken. He dropped his D-3 and noticed that his hands were engulfed in red and orange lightning, which joined into the ice and flame. Then, just as suddenly as it had started, it stopped.

"What was that?" Yamato said, staring at his hands where the Crest of Friendship glowed blue on his palms.

"The Crests…remember when Gennai said that the Crests held more power than just making our Digimon digivolve to a higher level? This must be what he meant…he said that we would discover this power when we needed it most."

"Apparently that's now," Ken said. "But elemental powers? Where did that come from?"

"No clue," Yamato said. "But if we can beat OkamiMyotismon with it, let's go for it."

"Yeah, let's," said Ken, still staring at the Crest of Kindness glowing on his palms.

"And if we die, we die trying, and that's the only way we're going to give up," Taichi said, the Crest of Courage burning brighter and brighter on his hands. Their surroundings started to disappear, the darkness replaced with the barren land where they had been before. As they "arrived", the others started to appear out of nowhere, apparently having been in similar situations.

"Well, I guess this is going to be it," Ken said. "You think we've got one last fight left in us?"

"Hell yeah," Taichi said, his hands bursting into flame again. "Let's do this."
