Author's Note: Hello again! It is I, ArtikGato, back to bring you Part Two of Brought Together In The Aftermath. Read the Author's Note for Part One if you didn't, to save me having to retype the same thing here. Oh, and, I forgot, flames are NOT welcome. If you must point out your disagreement with any aspect of this story, please do it nicely, and not in 75 point red fonts. Oh, and by the way, to add a little bit of culture to this fic, I'm naming the different parts by their French numbers. Deux (pronounced 'Doo') is two, if you didn't already figure that out. Ok, thanx, and enjoy the rest of the story! On to part two!!
Part Deux:
Well, as bad as Davis took the whole situation at first, he seemed to get over it pretty quickly. Seemed to, anyway. Immediately after he left the park, Davis went back to his house and started packing for his camping trip in the Digital World. His parents weren't home, so he just left a note, and took a good half of the food in the refrigerator. Jun, who was home, let him go without any hassle, out of pure niceness. Must've been the spirit of Christmas or something. She decided to go along with the whole 'camping trip with my friends' thing. After he left, things were normal. Well, as normal as they could be, anyway. Except for TK, who remained unusually quiet. And Kari and Ken kept their distance from the other Digidestined, still. But, other than that, things began to mellow down...a little. Ok, nothing was normal. So what? Can we just continue with the story? Thank you.
Davis walked through a mountainous area of the Digital World. He had taken Mimi's advice and come to the Digital World a couple of days ago. Right now, he was looking for Veemon, and, for some strange reason, he wasn't having much luck. But, Davis didn't mind. It gave him a purpose for his stay in the Digiworld: and it, for the most part, kept his mind off of Kari and Ken.
"Matt, I'm broke, I CAN'T AFFORD to take TK to another movie!!" Cody exclaimed into the receiver.
"Well, Mom went out of town on business, and she left TK with me and Dad!" Matt replied.
"So?? YOU take him to a movie!" Cody said.
"Can't, I've got a gig that I have to practice for," Matt replied.
"Then have your Dad--"
'He has to work,"
"Well..I still can't take him. Sorry. Ask one of the other Digidestined," Cody replied.
"Well, actually, you and Tai are the only ones I haven't asked yet. Well, besides Kari and Ken. I'm pretty sure TK wouldn't want to go see a movie with Tai, and--"
"But Matt, I'm broke!"
"Aww, cripes! Well, I guess--"
"Wait, what about Davis?"
"Davis? Are you crazy? TK HATES him, remember?"
"Actually, they were pretty good friends on matters that DIDN'T concern Kari,"
"Still, that's just not a good idea. Besides, Davis is in the Digital World. Didn't you hear from Yolei and Izzy?" Matt asked.
"Really? He's in the Digital World?"
"Yeah. And, from the sound of things, he's gonna be for a while. He's trying to get over this whole Kari thing by being alone,"
"Well, sounds to me like the Digital World is as good a place as any for that to happen,"
"Anyway, I can't leave TK here, so--"
"I suppose, since I'm broke, we could go to the Digi--"
"Oh NO you don't! TK and Davis would either kill each other or collaborate on ways to kill Ken. That's out of the question,"
"Then.."
"I've got to be at practice in fifteen minutes, look, just--"
"Ok, ok, I'll try, but you owe me," Cody said, hanging up the receiver, and ending the conversation.
"Are you coming, Mimi?" Sora asked, breaking Mimi out of a trance of thought.
"What?" Mimi asked.
"Are you coming? I'm gonna go watch Matt practice," Sora replied.
"Ah..well..actually.." Mimi stammered.
"I can understand if you'd be less bored doing something else," Sora said, completely oblivious to the fact that Mimi just didn't want to see Matt.
"I think I'll just stay here and help your Mom with her flowers or something," Mimi replied. Sora looked clueless.
"Mimi, I'd think you were crazy if you didn't have Palmon as a Digimon. I mean, I like flowers and all, but there are MUCH better things to do than--"
"I just don't want to go with you, three's company, you know?" Mimi replied, quickly, cutting of Sora.
"Well..there are a lot of cute guys in Matt's band. You could talk to one of them," Sora suggested.
"Then why aren' t YOU going out with one of THEM instead of Matt?" Mimi mumbled under her breath.
"What's that?" Sora asked.
"I said I'll probably go shopping, maybe I'll find a new hat!" Mimi replied.
"Ok, whatever. Well, I guess I'll see you later," Sora said, as she put on her coat and left. Mimi sighed, thought for a moment, and then picked up the phone on Sora's desk.
"Hello? Oh, hi Mrs. Inoue. Is Yolei there? Oh..she's out with Izzy. Ok, never mind. Bye,"
"Hi Mrs. Kamiya. Are Tai or Kari home? No? Ok, thanks anyway,"
"Ugh, I must really be getting desperate.."
"Hi, is Joe home? Oh..never mind then,"
"Why is no one home??? Oh, fine then, I'll just go for a walk,"
Kari sat across from Ken on the subway. She was deep in thought, so deep, that even Ken could tell. She was thinking about the same thing she'd been thinking about for days now...The night after she'd told Davis and TK, Tai had come home, and found her, crying in her room. And, stupid big brother, he only made it worse..
"I hope you know that you really hurt Davis and TK"
"Look, I didn't want to hurt them, Tai, but.."
"Davis was so mad that he wouldn't even play a game of soccer with me. He just kept trying to kill me with the ball,"
"Yeah? So what? I'm not completely heartless, like you seem to think, it hurt me to tell them,"
"So why did you tell them in the first place??"
"I had to! They would have found out eventually, and then they would have been even madder at me for not telling them."
Tai was silent for a second.
"Well, you didn't have to run off with Ken like that. You had me worried sick, and I had to keep Davis from going after you..."
"What else was I supposed to do? He gave Ken a black eye, Tai. If you hadn't held him back, he would have done more, I'm sure. What else was I supposed to do?"
"You could have at least said that you were sorry,"
"For what??"
"When I asked him why he was trying to kill me with the soccer ball, he told me it was because I was the big brother of the girl that had just BETRAYED him."
"You think it's my fault??"
"Yes!"
"For what, not going out with him? I can't just lie to my heart and--"
"You could have at least said you were sorry instead of calling him...what you did..and then running off!"
This time, Kari was silent.
"And what about TK? I'm pretty sure that he didn't mean what he said. You need to apologize to them, Kari. You need to at least try and fix what's left of your friendships with them,"
"Well, I can't talk to them now. They probably won't want to listen to me, anyway." Kari sighed, and looked out at the window. It was raining in lower Tokyo.
Mimi walked down the street, looking for something to do to keep her occupied. The lake was out of the question, because the day was cloudy, cold, and overcast. She looked around and, surprised, spotted Cody and TK walking toward her.
"Hey! Cody! TK!" she yelled, and waved. Cody waved back, and dragged TK to meet her.
"Where are you guys headed?" Mimi asked, as Cody dragged the still silent TK to her.
"Well, Matt has band practice, so he told me to take TK to a movie or something, considering that everybody else was busy." Cody replied.
"I wonder why he didn't ask me or Sora? All Sora's doing is watching Matt practice," Mimi said. She suddenly noticed that TK was silent. "Hey, TK, why all the silence?" she asked.
"Don't even bother, he hasn't said a word since--"
"Silence is better when you're depressed," TK answered, flatly. Cody stopped, and looked at him.
"Oh, so you'll talk to HER but not to ME, huh?" Cody asked. Silence. Cody looked like he was about to rip all the hair off his head. Mimi couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Actually, TK, it's better to vent when you're depressed. Silence only makes it worse," Mimi said. TK shrugged.
"Where are you going, Mimi?" Cody asked, after silence from TK. She shrugged.
"I don't know. I was just walking around, looking for something to do,"
"Same here. I have no money, so a movie is out of the question. Besides, the only one I haven't seen that's out right now is The Care Bears Family Vacation, and that is a definite no," Cody replied.
"I have a few Yen, why don't you take him to see Death By Lawnmower, I hear it's a good--"
"It's a good movie, yes, but the problem is, TK gets too many ideas for how to kill Ken from it," Cody replied. At the mention of the movie, TK got an evil, twisted grin on his face. Mimi and Cody stepped away from him. Evil TK was really creeping them out.
"I see what you mean," Mimi said.
"Any suggestions on what to do?" Cody asked. Mimi suddenly got an idea.
"Yeah. I'm gonna go to the Digiworld, I guess I could take him along," she replied.
"Why are you going to the Digiworld?" Cody asked.
"Well, I'm kinda worried about Davis, so I was going to go check up on him, and find Palmon," Mimi said.
"Why are you worried about Davis?" Cody asked.
"I sort of gave him the idea to go to the Digital World in the first place, and no one has heard from him at all since he went," she replied.
"So, you're going to take TK along? Uh, I hate to break it to you, but if TK and Davis--"
"I'll find Patamon and leave him and TK somewhere for a while. I think being alone for a while would be good for him," Mimi said.
"Ok, then I guess I can go home and relax, then," Cody replied.
"Ok. Bye!" Mimi bade him farewell, and she walked a few steps in one direction. She turned around.
"TK, I'm not going to drag you, so you might as well give up," she said. TK sighed, and started walking.
Davis walked along, enjoying the sunny, peaceful day in the Digital World. He looked at his Digivice.
"Veemon should be around here somewhere," he said. On the outside, he looked as if he didn't have a care in the world. He stopped, looked at his Digivice again, and then cupped his hands over his mouth and yelled "VEEMON!!" His voice echoed in the canyon he was walking through. He listened for a second, and heard something, almost like a rock hitting the ground. Then he heard a loud "OUCH!" come from somewhere nearby. He blinked. The voice didn't belong to Veemon, or anyone he knew, for that matter. He jogged a little in the direction the voice had come from, and came to an area where the canyon wall was indented. On the ground, sat a miniature sized Monochromon, laying on it's back, crying. He decided to try his luck, and approached the tiny Digimon.
"Hey, little guy, what happened to you?" he asked, and kneeled down beside the Monochromon. The little Digimon was startled, to say the least.
"Who are you? What do you want? I'm warning you, I can shoot fire--" the tiny Monochromon cried.
"Whoa, whoa, hey, take it easy there, little fella, you might hurt yourself," Davis said, as he turned the Monochromon back right-side-up. The Monochromon just blinked, and looked up at him.
"Hey! You don't look like a Digimon!" he said.
"That's because I'm a human," Davis replied.
"Humon? I've never heard of a Digimon called Humon," Monochromon said. Davis laughed.
"No, no, huMAN, not huMON," Davis corrected him.
"What's a human?" Monochromon asked, confused.
"We come from the Real World," Davis replied.
"What's the Real World?" Monochromon asked, still confused. Davis sighed.
"Never mind. I'm a human, that's all you need to know," he said.
"Ok," answered the tiny dinosaur Digimon.
"My name's Davis, and I bet yours is--" Davis started, trying to change the subject.
"I'm Monochromon!" said the Monochromon.
"Really?" Davis said, trying not to be sarcastic. The little Digimon nodded ecstatically. "How about I call you MC for short, so I can tell you apart from other Monochromon, Ok?" he asked.
"MC? Ok, whatever. Weird name, though," Monochromon replied. Davis just shook his head.
"Ok, MC, how did you get down here? I don't see any other Monochromon around," he asked. MC turned, and pointed, with his head, up, to the top of the canyon.
"I fell from up there," he said.
"Ouch," Davis replied.
"That's exactly what I said. Good thing I have a hard shell," MC replied.
"I suppose you want to get back up there?" Davis asked. MC nodded. Davis looked around.
"Looks like the fastest way back is up," he said.
"Yeah, and I can't climb," MC said.
"Darn, if Veemon was here, I could have him Digivolve into Flamedramon and jump up there," Davis said.
"Huh?" MC asked.
"Never mind. Oh, by the way, you haven't seen a blue little dinosaur Digimon by the name of Veemon around here, have you?" Davis asked.
"Nope," MC replied.
"Didn't think so. Oh well. I guess I'll have to climb," Davis said, looking up.
"Wow, that's a long climb, Davis," MC said.
"It doesn't look that hard," Davis replied.
"I don't know, that looks hazardous," MC protested.
"Nah. It'll be a synch. You just hop in my backpack," Davis said, gesturing to the pack on his back, "And try not to squash the bread,"
"Gee, thanks!" MC exclaimed, in gratitude, and climbed into Davis' backpack.
"I've been wanting to go on a good climb for a while now," Davis said, rubbing his hands together, and looking up.
"Palmon, what's wrong?" asked a concerned Mimi. She and TK had just entered the Digiworld, to find a nervous Palmon.
"Call the others right away! We can sense it..it's coming.." Palmon said, nervously.
"Sense what? What's coming?" Mimi asked.
"TK! You're here!" cried a familiar voice from the trees nearby. From them emerged Patamon, flying urgently. He flew over to TK, and landed on the blonde Digidestined's head. Biyomon and Tentomon also flew out of the trees, followed by Hawkmon.
"What's going on?" TK asked, now fully aware. He had dropped the depressed and silent act.
"There is a great evil force at work in the Digiworld," Biyomon said, perching in a nearby tree beside Hawkmon. Tentomon landed on the branch below them.
"What?" Mimi asked.
"But I thought we beat all the evil when we destroyed Malomyotismon!" TK exclaimed.
"Apparently you thought wrong," Hawkmon replied.
"We all did. And the problem is, Veemon and Agumon have been captured by it!" Palmon said.
"What?" both Digidestined asked.
"What about Davis?" Mimi asked. TK and Palmon blinked, startled by the concerned and demanding tone in her voice.
"What about him?" Palmon asked.
"Has he been captured too?" she asked.
"And what, exactly, was it that took them? Were they the only ones?" TK added.
"I don't know about Davis, and I don't know what took them. It looked like a human, but not exactly," Palmon replied.
"And as for the third question, no they weren't the only ones. You see, we were having a meeting in Primary Village, and all of a sudden, this human looking creature just came and took them, along with a dozen or so other Digimon. And, those are only the ones we know about. Since the attack in Primary Village, we haven't even seen Armadillomon, Gabumon, or Gomamon," Hawkmon said.
"What about Gatomon and Wormon?" TK asked.
"They went to go find Gennai and tell him what happened," Tentomon replied.
"That figures. Even their Digimon want to be alone," TK said, coldly. Everybody looked at him with pity.
"What about-" Mimi started, but Patamon interrupted her.
"We don't have time for questions right now! You all have to call the others! I have a feeling we're going to need everybody's help for this one, and I'm sure Tai and Davis will want to know,"
"Davis," Mimi said, quietly, with a worried expression on her face.
"Right, let's get to work then," TK said, not having heard what she said. He turned back to the TV, and took his Digivice out of his pocket.
"Good, we'll go look for the other Digimon, then, and bring them back here," Tentomon said, rising into the air. Biyomon and Hawkmon nodded, and rose into the air as well.
"Coming, Mimi?" TK asked. She shook her head.
"I can't," she said.
"Why not?" he asked, surprised. The Digimon blinked.
"I have to go look for Davis," she said. The Digimon all looked confused.
"What?" TK asked.
"You call the others, Palmon and I are going to go look for Davis--and the other Digimon," she added, at the last second. The Digimon seemed to accept that. TK looked at her with a strange look on his face, but nodded.
"There you go, MC, back in your nest," said a very exhausted Davis, about two hours later. MC jumped out of Davis' backpack and back into his nest.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, Davis! How can I ever repay you?" MC cried.
"Oh, you don't have to thank me, I'm a Digidestined. It's our job to help innocent Digimon--with or without our partners," Davis said. MC looked clueless.
"I have no idea what you just said, but thank you anyway," MC replied. Davis gave a lopsided grin at MC.
"Never mind," Davis said, and looked around.
"Oops, I guess I neglected to factor in the fact that I'll have to climb back down this cliff," he said, when he noticed that there seemed to be no exits.
"No you don't, Davis, you can stay up here and play with me!" MC replied, cheerfully.
"As much as I'd like to," Davis said, a little sarcastically, "I can't. I have to look for my partner, Veemon,"
"Oh. Oh well, Mom and Dad are sure to be home any minute now," MC said. Davis looked around, nervously. He didn't want to be around for that. He'd seen, first hand, how nasty Monochromon could be.
"How do your parents get up here, anyway?" Davis asked.
"Oh, they jump," MC replied.
"Terrific," Davis replied, disheartened.
"Oh great, I HAVE to climb down now, or I'll be lunch for MC's parents. What did I get myself into THIS time? I wish Veemon was here to bail me out of this jam,":
"I guess I'll have to climb down," Davis sighed, and started to put his feet over the edge.
"Actually, Davis, when my parents are sick they usually take the path up here," MC said. Davis stopped, and looked at MC.
"Path?" he asked. MC nodded, ecstatically.
"Yup! See, over there!" he said, and pointed to the edge across from Davis. Davis went, and peered over the edge. Sure enough, there was a wide path going down the side of the canyon.
"MC, why didn't you tell me this before?" Davis asked, a little annoyed.
"I didn't think of it 'till now!" MC replied, in his always cheerful tone. Davis sighed, and was about to start down the path, when he saw something. "Uh oh," he said.
"Yay! Mama and Dadda are back!" MC cried.
"This isn't good," Davis said, and gulped.
"Do WHAT??" Matt nearly screamed into the receiver. That caused Matt's band, in the other room, to stop playing and grimace, and Sora to rush into the room where Matt was.
"You're sure?" Matt asked, in a lower tone, noticing the commotion he'd just caused. "TK, if you're lying...ok. I'll be there. Sora's with me. Uh huh. We'll be there," he said, and hung up the phone. He turned to Sora, with a grave look on his face.
"The Digimon are in trouble. We have to go," he said.
"Mama! Dadda!" MC cried. Two huge, huge Monochromon with huge, huge teeth growled at Davis. He looked around for a quick escape, while trying to reason with the Monochromon.
"Uhm..hi there..I was only helping your son get back up here, I didn't mean any--" he was cut off by the larger of the Monochromon, probably MC's father, snarling. Davis gulped.
"Oh no, I'm gonna be lunchmeat,"
"Mama!! Dadda! Guess what! Davis helped me climb back up after I fell out of my--" the other Monochromon growled at him, making him stop, in surprise. Davis suddenly realized something: they had red eyes!
"MC, do your parents usually have red eyes?" Davis asked, or more like pointed out. MC looked at his parents, and gasped.
"What?" he asked, in disbelief. His parents snarled again, and one opened it's mouth. Fire began to build up in the back of it's throat.
"MC get out of there!" Davis yelled. MC jumped out of his nest and ran over to Davis, just as the Monochromon shot a ball of fire at the nest, burning it to a crisp.
"Mama. what's wrong?" MC asked. Davis was trying to figure that out himself.
"The last time I saw a Monochromon with red eyes was the first time Veemon Armor Digivolved into Flamedramon. I remember now, the Monochromon had a Dark Ring on it! Once Flamedramon destroyed it, the Monochromon went back to normal! But, wait, these two can't possibly have Dark Rings on them.." mused Davis, while MC kept asking his parents, who were moving progressively closer to them, what was wrong. Davis snapped out of his train of thought just in time to see them both open their mouths.
"Oh no!" Davis yelled. He grabbed MC and jumped out of the way. The fireballs left two craters where Davis and MC had been standing just a few seconds ago. Davis got back up, looking around frantically for an escape route. He suddenly noticed something else. A Dark Spiral was on each of the Monochromon's legs! He stood there, in shock.
"Dark Spirals? How can that be?? Ken isn't the Emperor any more, how can these two have Dark Spirals?"
"Volcanic Strike!" called out one of the Monochromon, and opened it's mouth. Davis once again snapped out of his train of thought, in time to dodge the fireball. He suddenly realized that the two Monochromon had moved away from the edge of the canyon's wall that had the path going down it.
"MC, the--" Davis started, but was too late. The Monochromon opened their mouths again. Davis dodged the fireball aimed at him, and looked to see MC frozen in a state of terror. "MC!! MOVE!!" Davis shouted. MC didn't seem to hear. Davis looked frantically from the baby Monochromon to it's parent.
"Volcanic Strike!" called out the parent that was charging a fireball.
"WATCH OUT!!" Davis yelled, and grabbed MC, rolling out of the way, and barely missing the fireball. Davis stood back up, and dodged another fireball.
"The path, go!" Davis said to MC, who shook his head.
"I can't! There's something wrong with Mama and Dadda!" MC said, crying.
"MC, do you see those black things on their legs?" Davis asked. MC nodded. "They're called Dark Spirals. Somehow, your parents are being controlled by an evil force. They don't know who you are, and that's why they're attacking you!" Davis explained. MC gulped.
"Controlled?" MC asked. Davis nodded, grimly.
"We have to get out of here," he continued.
"But what will happen to Mama and Dadda?" MC asked. They jumped out of the way of two more fireballs.
"We'll figure out a way to get those Dark Spirals off of their legs later, and they'll go back to normal, but until then, we're both in danger!" Davis continued to explain.
"Ok," MC said, and they both made a run for the edge, jumping over and dodging around another two fireballs.
"Ok, we're going to jump, and land on the path. We'll slide down from there," Davis said, looking over the edge. He gulped.
"Ok!" MC replied, looking back at his parents for one last time. Davis looked at him, saddened by the fact that his newfound friend had to go through the pain of having his parents controlled.
"That's what bugs me, how are they being controlled? The Dark Spirals shouldn't be working now that Ken is no longer the Emperor,"
"Come on, let's go. I promise, you won't get hurt,"
"YOU won't. You have that hard shell. If I miss the path, I can kiss my butt goodbye,"
"Ok, Davis, let's go!" MC exclaimed, trying to sound cheery. Just then...
"Volcanic Strike!" both Monochromon exclaimed, and shot fireballs at them. With no place to dodge...
"JUMP!!" Davis yelled, and both he and MC jumped off of the edge at the same time. MC landed safely on the path, but Davis landed on the edge of it, and, consequently, fell off.
"DAVIS!!" MC cried, and ran to the edge of the path. Davis fell through the air below the path.
"Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh CRAP!! I'm gonna DIE!!! I've never even had a girlfriend!! I've never kissed anybody!! Except my Mom, and Aunt Betsy, but that was Christmas and..oh, yeah.. I'M GONNA DIE!!!!"
"That's Davis' signal!" Mimi exclaimed. Lillymon flew down to her.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Positive. Let's go," Mimi replied. Lillymon flew up, to give her a better perspective of the area they were in. Mimi ran toward the signal, using her Digivice as her guide.
"Mimi! I think I've spotted him!" Lillymon exclaimed. Mimi stopped and looked up.
"Where?" she asked.
"Over there! He's on the top of the canyon wall, and it looks like he's being attacked by two Monochromon!" Lillymon exclaimed, pointing in the same direction Mimi had been running in.
"Tai! Matt is on the phone for you, and he sounds kinda stressed out," Mrs. Kamiya said. Tai took the phone a few seconds later.
"Hello, this is Tai's House of Pancakes, you've reached the consumer--" Tai started, with his usual greeting to one of his friends. Matt cut him off.
"This is NO TIME FOR JOKES, man! I just got a call from TK, the Digimon are in trouble, and they need us in the Digiworld right away!" Matt almost screamed into the receiver.
"Good grief, Matt! You didn't have to yell that LOUD!" Tai yelled back.
"This is serious, Tai! I need you to help me track down that sister of yours and her boyfriend, I can't seem to get a hold of them," Matt replied.
"Ok, I'll do that," Tai said, getting serious.
"'K, thanks man," Matt replied, and started to hang up.
"Whoa, did TK say what kind of trouble they were in, or did he just say that they were in trouble?" Tai asked.
"Well..he said that.." Matt started, and hesitated.
"What?" Tai asked.
"Well..he said that a new evil force came and kidnapped a few of the Digimon.." Matt continued. Tai paled.
"He couldn't mean.."
"AND?" Tai demanded.
"They can't find either of our Digimon, Tai! They said that they took Veemon and Agumon, and that they can't find Gabumon, Armadillomon, or Gomamon," Matt replied. Tai was in a state of shock.
"Tai?" Matt asked, after a few seconds of silence.
"I'll be there as soon as I can," Tai said, and hung up the phone.
"SOMEONE HELP!!!" MC yelled, as he watched Davis fall.
"I'M GONNA DIE!!!" Davis cried. What he didn't hear was someone down below..
"Lillymon, hurry, catch him!" Mimi yelled. Lillymon zoomed up, and grabbed onto Davis' arm, stopping him from falling. Davis opened his eyes, and looked around, amazed that he wasn't dead.
"Davis!!" MC cried, relieved. Davis looked up at Lillymon, shocked.
"Lillymon?" he asked, in disbelief.
"Maybe I DID die, and she's actually an angel. An angel with a flower on her head, but an angel--'
"Davis, are you all right?" Mimi yelled from below. Davis shook himself out of that train of thought.
"Of course you didn't die, moron!"
"I will be," he yelled, trying not to show the relief and fear that were both still in his voice. Lillymon was straining, trying to keep him in her grasp.
"Davis, did you HAVE to eat so much?" Lillymon asked, as she brought him down to earth.
"What?? I've been starving myself half to death for the past two days!! All I've had to eat was bread, pudding, and soup!!" Davis defended.
"Davis, thank goodness you're safe!!" Chorused two voiced at the same time. One was Mimi, and the other one was..
"MC!!" Davis exclaimed, and looked back up at the path, where his new friend was smiling and jumping for joy. He suddenly noticed that MC's parents were... "WATCH OUT!!" he exclaimed.
"Huh?" MC asked, and then looked up, to see his parents, still with red eyes, jump onto the top of the path. He let out a cry, and started to scramble down the ledge.
"Oh no!" Mimi exclaimed. Lillymon flew up toward them.
"Flower Cannon!" she exclaimed, and shot her attack. It missed, and hit the canyon wall, knocking a couple of boulders onto the two Monochromon.
"MC!" Davis exclaimed.
"Oh no, that poor baby Monochromon!" Mimi yelled, and covered her eyes. A boulder was rolling down the path toward him!
"AHHH!!" MC exclaimed, and dove to the ground, covering his head with his feet. Lillymon flew down to him, and scooped him up, just seconds before the boulder would have hit him. She flew the baby Monochromon down to Mimi and Davis. Davis took him.
"You're all right!" Davis exclaimed, as MC sighed with relief.
"So, I guess you two know each other, huh?" Mimi asked. Davis and MC nodded.
"And this is the one you've been calling MC?" Lillymon asked.
"Yup! That's my name, don't wear it out!" MC replied. Davis smiled. Suddenly, a loud BOOM sounded, and the rocks on top of the Monochromon suddenly disintegrated into nothing. The two humans and two Digimon cried out in shock.
"They have red eyes!" Mimi realized. Lillymon flew up toward them.
"Be careful! Don't hurt them, they are being controlled by Dark Spirals!" Davis warned.
"What?" Lillymon and Mimi both asked. Suddenly, a fireball shot past Lillymon, and she turned back to the challenge at hand.
"Where, I don't see them!" Lillymon exclaimed.
"On their legs!" Davis yelled in response. She flew closer, and spotted them.
"Ok, then.." Lillymon began, and flew toward them. They shot fireballs, which she gracefully dodged. She flew a circle around them, and exclaimed "Flower Wreath!". A circle of flowers appeared around both of them, and tied them together. Instantly, the Dark Spirals shattered, and their eyes returned to normal.
"Way to go Lillymon!!" Mimi exclaimed.
"Wow, we could have really used your help back when we were fighting Ken, and he was still evil," Davis said. Lillymon gave them the 'thumbs up' sign.
"I'm the best!" she said, and laughed. The two Monochromon were released from the wreath of flowers, and looked around, confused.
"What happened?" MC's father asked. Lillymon flew up to them.
"You were under the control of some Dark Spirals. But, don't worry, I broke them, see?" Lillymon said, and pointed to what remained of the Dark Spirals. The Monochromon blinked. MC jumped out of Davis' arms, and ran up to his parents.
"Mama! Dadda! I'm so glad you're back!!" he exclaimed. The two Monochromon laughed, as their son jumped up onto the father Monochromon's back. Davis grinned. Mimi smiled too, but then frowned.
"I don't get it, how could they be controlled by Dark Spirals?" she asked.
"I was wondering the same thing," Davis replied.
"Yeah, I thought that the Dark Rings and Dark Spirals stopped working when Ken stopped being the Digimon Emperor," Lillymon said, as she landed on the ground beside Mimi. She then de-digivolved back into Palmon.
"Oh, Davis, we have news," Mimi said, her face turning even more grim. Davis blinked.
"Uh oh, I don't like the sound of this," he said. Palmon shook her head.
"You won't. You see, a couple of days ago, an evil force came to the Digital World. He looked kind of half-human, half Digimon. Anyway, us Digimon were having a meeting at the Primary Village, and he ambushed us, and..a couple of Digimon were kidnapped.." Palmon started. Davis saw where this was going. He turned to Mimi, shocked.
"Does that mean?" he asked. She nodded.
"Yeah, Veemon's been captured," she said. Davis looked like he'd just been told that his entire family had died.
"We tried to get them back, but he had to run, or he would have caught us," Palmon added. Mimi put her hand on Davis' shoulder.
"I'm sorry.." she started. Davis hung his head.
"It's not your fault, it's mine. I've been here since a couple of days ago, I should have found him right away, but I--" Davis started.
"You just wanted some time alone, that's all. Don't blame yourself," Mimi replied.
"Yeah, we'll get him back, don't worry about it. TK is calling the others to come and help right now--" Palmon started.
"Everyone else?" Davis asked. Mimi cringed. She'd forgotten about that..
"Yeah, why?" Palmon asked, totally out of the loop.
"Which way did this evil force whatchimacallit thing take Veemon?" Davis asked Palmon.
"Why?" Palmon asked, even though she knew very well what he was gonna say.
"Oh no you don't! You're not going ANYWHERE alone! Look what happened just now? You could have DIED, Davis," Mimi said.
"I can't face the others yet, especially Kari and Ken," Davis replied. Palmon was even more confused now.
"What?" she asked. Mimi looked at Palmon, and gave her a quick 'not right now' gesture.
"You're coming, all right? Without Veemon--" Mimi started.
"I don't care! I can't face the others right now!" Davis exclaimed, turning away from Mimi and Palmon, and walking toward MC and his parents.
"Wait a second! Davis!" Mimi exclaimed.
"You can't force me to go back, Mimi!" Davis replied.
"But Davis, can't you put aside what happened long enough to--" Mimi protested.
"NO!! Not yet!!" Davis replied, harshly. Mimi looked at Palmon for help. Palmon shrugged, clueless. Davis stopped walking, abruptly, and looked up.. Mimi and Palmon looked to the sky, astonished. MC and his parents looked up as well. The sky was turning... black! One of the clouds above them began to glow red, and it began to drop rapidly toward them. When it wasn't very far above them, a shadowy figure appeared in it, and dropped out of the cloud, and onto the top of the canyon wall. All anyone could see was his outline, and that wasn't much to go by. Suddenly, a ray of eerie, gray light shot out of the cloud, and illuminated the figure. He was a tall, black haired man with dark blue, almost black eyes. He was wearing black clothing, and a long, flowing black cape was on his back. What was startling about him was that where his hands were, there were claws, and out of his back sprouted two huge, demonic wings. His feet were hooves, as well. Palmon gasped.
"That's him! That's the one who took Agumon and Veemon prisoner!" she exclaimed.
And so concludes Part Two! Was it good? Oooh..I LOVE writing cliffhangers! I know it wasn't as funny as Part One, but I wanted this one to be a bit more serious than the last one. You have to admit, though, the whole 'Tai's House of Pancakes' bit was funny! Oh, and do I make up good villains or what? I mean, it was absolutely GENIUS of me to create a new villain with HOOVES instead of feet!! Uhm.. right. Sorry. Enjoy part three!! And once again, review! Daimi forever! And you get a cookie if you can guess who the villain dude REALLY is! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
