Part 3:
five days ago...
Two figures ran down the darkened streets of Tokyo, moving as fast as they could. Sure, they had both played soccer when they were kids, and the taller one was the best player in his entire school once, but that was a long time ago. Before the Digiworld, before the Eight Child, before Myotismon.
The taller one had short black hair, complete with a pair of goggles on his head. The shorter one had a mess of reddish brown hair, and a square shaped backpack. He turned around, which caused a disapproving yell from the taller one.
"Izzy, we have to keep moving! They're gaining on us!"
"I know," he said, turning back around,"I'm just worried about our Digimon. I want to know how they're doing."
His answer came in the form of a giant red beetle slamming into the ground in front of them. "Megakabuterimon!" Izzy shouted.
Tai turned around and shouted,"Metalgreymon!"
The giant Dinosaur Digimon flew towards them, chased by a humanoid figure wearing dark, metal armor covering his entire body. The face was completely covered, showing no facial part, not even the nose, the eyes, covered by two circular red jewels. He was riding on a Unimon, complete with his own dark armor, and a black ring around his neck. Riding on the Unimon, he looked like a dark knight.
"Don't turn your back on him!" Tai ordered, but it was too late. The Dark Knight held up a square device and shot a beam of dark light out of it. It nailed Metalgreymon, causing him to shrink back into Koromon.
"Crap!" Tai said, grabbing Koromon. He felt the ground shake and turned to warn Izzy, when he saw something tunnel it way up from the ground.
It was another Dark Knight, except this one had dark blue jewels for eyes, and he was riding a Drimogemon, complete with his own black ring. He held up a square device and shot the same dark energy at Megakabuterimon.
"Izzy, we've got to get out of here!" Tai shouted as Izzy picked up Motimon.
"I'm right behind you!" Izzy shouted as the four of them ran into an alley.
"What kind of Digimon are they?" Tai asked.
"I've never seen those kind of Digimon before," Motimon said.
"Me either," Koromon said,"They must be a new species that Myotismon found."
They emerged on the other side of the alley to find a temple. "A Buddhist Shrine," Tai said, running inside. "A good a place as any for our last stand."
They ran inside, and Tai threw Izzy a weapon. "Fire that gun if they come inside."
"What about you?" Izzy asked.
Tai held up his Digivice,"I'm going to try and reach Gatomon."
Izzy was about to protest, when the entire shrine started shaking. Izzy held up his weapon as a figure crashed through the roof and landed in front of them. He was wearing the same type of armor as the other two, except that he was wearing a pair of square goggles with silver lenses so he could see out, but no one could see in. He also wore a green cape.
Izzy was ready to shoot when the other two dark knights walked in. "Izzy," Tai said, softly," put the gun down."
Turning to the dark knights he said,"We surrender."
Tai felt a blast of pain as his head hit the wall of the prison cell. He moaned as he turned around to see the Bakemon that through him in. He saw the Bakemon through a blob of orange at him. "Koromon," Tai said. "Where's Izzy and Motimon?"
"Don't worry about them," the Bakemon said, closing the cell door. "Welcome to the hotel Myotismon. If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to scream!"
He laughed as he floated down the hall. "Yeah, just wait 'til I get out," Tai mumbled under his breath. Then he heard a moan from the corner of the cell. "Whose there?"
"Tai?" a familiar voice asked," Is that you?"
"Mimi!" Tai shouted, as she stood up. Her hair was a mess, her face was covered with dirt, and her clothes were torn, but he didn't care, he ran over and kissed her hard.
"Jeez!" Mimi said, pulling Tai away," Its only been two days since they got me."
"I know," Tai said, hugging her tight," believe me I know."
"Is Palmon here?" Koromon asked.
"Yup," came the reply. Palmon moved out of the shadows with a figure in her arms," And look who else is here."
"Gatomon!"
"Did they get Miko?" Mimi asked.
Tai shook his head. "I sent her out of the city to find help."
"What help?" Mimi asked, confused. Why would he send their child to find help.
Tai reached inside the jacket and pulled out a glowing object.
"Is that...?" Gatomon asked.
Tai nodded. "Yes, its my sister's Digivice. It started to glow a few days ago, which means the Crest became activated, and that means she's alive."
"So," Kari said, turning to her niece,"How is everyone?"
Miko shrugged. "As well as can be expected, I guess."
They had packed and were moving across Asia as fast as they could. Matt knew he had to reach Tokyo quickly, because Myotismon would no doubt kill Tai as soon as he wasn't needed and Matt would then pick up were Tai left off.
Matt was in the lead, and wasn't saying much. Sora was behind him, never taking her gaze off the horizon in front of them. Kari knew why, she didn't want to look at Miko.It would only serve to remind her that Tai chose Mimi over her.
"What do you mean?" Kari asked.
"Well, dad's leading the rebellion against Myotismon, and things were going well, then Myotismon brought in three new Digimon that no one has ever seen before. Even Izzy's Digimon Analyzer can't help. We started calling them the Dark Knights. All we know about them is that they can control other Digimon with dark rings."
"Weird," Kari said,"What about my brother and Mimi?"
"What about them?"
"Never mind."
Kari turned back towards the horizon. If things continued to go on schedule, they'd be in Tokyo in the next couple of days. She couldn't wait to see her brother again, one way or the other.
