~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Digimon started to shake Ken, causing him to choke even more than before.

You killed my best friend! You killed him! And because of you I'll never see him again! the Digimon yelled. Tears streamed down Ken's face as his vision began to fade.

I'm... sorry... Ken mouthed not being able to get a word out. He gasped again and just as he was giving in to the darkness he was showered in the face with small rocks and dust. The Digimon dropped Ken to the ground. Ken fell hard and sucked in a ragged gasp followed by a spell of coughing. Breathing hard, Ken snapped his head up to see the Digimon plunge to the ground. Behind him was Daisuke taking labored breaths as he dropped the shattered stalactite he had used as a club. Daisuke then started to sway and he
fell onto his knees and slumped over. Ken's eyes widened in shock as he crawled over to his best friend's side. He rolled Daisuke over onto his back.

Daisuke, wake up! Ken said in a frightened small voice. When there was no response Ken made up his mind to go get help.

I'm...going to get the others, Motomiya-kun... Ken said in a throttled voice in hopes that Daisuke could hear him. Ken took a deep breath and looked up. With the help of the wall, he made his way out of the cave and into the light. He double-checked to make sure that there were no Sesimon in the area. To his luck there were none and he made his way back to the spot the others had been before hand.

With... any luck they will still be there... Ken said out loud as he took one painful step after another using Daisuke as his motivation. Ken sighed as he came into view of the glowing cage with his friends still
inside. Takeru jumped to his feet in happiness.

he cried. The group's happiness was soon gone as they took a better look at Ken. Seeing his blood soaked arm and the slouch in his back they knew something had to be very wrong. Ken was never one to slouch unless something was wrong with him, and clearly there was. Ken grabbed onto a nearby tree and from there fell to his knees. He hugged himself and coughed. He looked up at his friends and remembered Daisuke. With a small whimper Ken forced himself to his feet. He looked around and spotted a thick tree branch.

Daisuke...is hurt pretty bad... We Ken trailed off, but taking a deep breath he started again. We were attacked again in the cave. We need to help him! Please! We have to get him out of there, Ken said panting. He lifted the branch over his head and smashed it down on the cage. The cage bowed and sprung back, flinging Ken back and into a tree.

Miyako cried. Are you OK?

Ken shuddered and brought his knees up to his chest and hugged them in frustration. Sucking in a deep gulp of air he then stood once more still leaning heavily against the tree. He clenched the branch in his hand and with one more bust of strength Ken struck the cage, this time breaking it. The cage still managed to throw Ken back for the second time. Ken landed on his hurt arm. He let out a shriek of anguish as he slid to a stop, grabbing at his arm. Miyako and Takeru were the first to reach him. Miyako slammed to her knees and gently placed Ken's head and shoulders on her lap. She stared down at Ken's wincing face and stoked his hair and face lightly, soothing him. Takeru grabbed Ken's hand and squeezed as he too looked with worry at Ken's face, twisted with pain. They could see that Ken was fighting back tears and failed as tears slid out of each of his eyes.

Taking a shuddered breath, in a pain filled voice Ken said, Go...get, Daisuke...I'll be OK...just go! Takeru looked over to where the cave was.

he said as he and the rest started to take off.

I'm staying with you, Miyako stated matter-of-factly.

Ken-chan, are you going to be OK? a small voice asked. It was wormmon. Ken smiled as much as his pain would let him. He nodded his head.

Mmm... Yeah... Ken replied in a whisper. Wormmon cringed at Ken's bloody hand holding his arm. The little green digimon snuggled against Ken's face.

I'm OK, Wormmon, please don't worry, Ken told him as he looked back up at the others who had made their way to the mouth of the cave.

Come on guys...hurry, Ken said to himself. Miyako helped him sit up and lean against a tree. He looked into her eyes and grabbed her hand

I'm glad you're here with me... he said letting go of her hand to lightly touch her face with the back of his fingers. He then let his hand fall back down to the ground as he let his gaze fall as well. He looked at Wormmon and smiled. The smile made Wormmon feel less tense than he had been. Ken let out a gusty sigh and leaned his head up on the tree and closed his eyes.

The others ventured into the dark cave and were almost to the cavern that Daisuke was in, but without any sound they didn't know where to find him. At that moment they heard Daisuke cry out. They all snapped their heads in the direction of the screech and started to run. When they got there they found Daisuke near the entrance of the cave. Before any of them could say a word Daisuke sucked in a ragged gasp and let out another wale of pain. When the group got a little closer they saw that there were little digimon all around Daisuke. They then watched in disbelief as one of the little Digimon bit into Daisuke's arm. Daisuke drew back his arm and tried to kick another away with his foot.

Takeru and Iroi jumped into action and tried to shoo them away, but they just kept coming after Daisuke. All Iroi and Takeru managed to do was to get themselves bitten.

Iori said waving his fingers in the air. Takeru kicked and shooed away the rest. V-mon ran up and rolled Daisuke over. Daisuke opened his eyes.

he said in a small voice as he reached out and stroked V-mon's furry blue cheek. Are...you OK? Daisuke asked, his voice creaky. V-mon had tears streaming down his face.

I'm OK! What about you!?! V-mon expressed as he wiped some of the blood off Daisuke's fat lip. Daisuke coughed and tried to smile, but it came out looking more like a wince.

Ken? Is he...OK? Daisuke asked in a worried tone.

Yeah, he's just fine. Hikari said from beside him. Daisuke turned his head to look at her as she stroked his red hair. She smiled at him.

Hey, you're not having the best of days are you? she said sweetly. Daisuke began to giggle, but it turned into a spell of coughing. Suddenly there was a shriek of desperation from Takeru as he was lifted off the ground by the back of his shirt. Hikari, Iori, Daisuke, and the digimon looked up to see Takeru being pinned to a big digimon's stomach, kicking and squirming to get free.

PUT ME DOWN!!! Takeru screamed in anger.
