The Digiduds! Part VII-The Digital Disatster!!

Matt continued walking, with Gabumon besides him. They walked so long Gabumon thought his little legs would fall off. Along the way, they chatted about what they thought they would find and wondered where their friends were. Matt looked at his Digivice. The dot was still there, blinking. Before they knew it, the pair came upon the edge of a jungle. Both were glad to exit the freezing snowfield.

"We're almost there," Matt told his companion. Gabumon gave a sigh of relief.

"Good, because I'm getting tired." Matt looked down at his friend.

"If you want to stop, you should say something."

"I just didn't want to slow us down. I was just thinking, what if the person left before we got there?" Matt hadn't thought of that.

"Yeah, but I'd prefer you be at full strength in case we run into trouble..." Matt told him. The Digimon knew what his partner was getting at. Gabumon had sensed something bugging Matt since breakfast, when he had burned their fish. There was something wrong, though neither of them knew what.

"They're right up here, Gabumon," Matt told him.

*****************************************

"TK, where are we going?" Patamon asked. They had been traveling through the jungle for a while now, and Patamon was a little worried that they would never find the others at this rate.

"I dunno, but wherever we go, we're gonna look for my brother and everybody else," TK explained to his winged friend who was riding on top of his hat.

"Okay," Patamon smiled. TK smiled too. "TK? Do you hear that?" TK looked around.

"What?" he asked Patamon.

"That noise! It sounds like someone is coming towards us!" TK could feel Patamon trembling on top of his head.

"We better hide..." TK trembled also. They made a dash for some heavy bushes. From their hiding place they saw a shadowy figure coming out from behind some trees, being followed by some sort of Digimon. They strained to see who it was, but the figure was surrounded by too many shadows to be seen.

*******************************************

"You mean THEY have Digivices too?!" Apparently, Tai was shocked. Izzy nodded.

"How else would their Digimon Digivolve? It also explains why you found them at the source of your Digivice signal." Izzy explained.

"But what if our friends get tricked by them too?" Kari asked.

"We have to go find them!" Tai exclaimed, raring to go.

"But how? We'll get tricked again if we rely on our Digivices..." Joe said as he adjusted his glasses. Tai crossed his arms impatiently.

"We'll just have to do it the old fashioned way, I guess!"

"And what way is that? Wander around until we run into someone?" Joe remarked sarcastically.

"Not exactly..." Izzy reached for his laptop. Slowly he opened it and attempted to turn it on.

"I thought the battery was dead, Izzy," Tentomon peered over his shoulder.

"Hmmm..." Izzy re-moved his Digivice from his backpack strap. He plugged it into the slot that was used to activate the Digimon analyzer. The Digivice glowed, and then the laptop glowed. Suddenly, the screen lit up. "Astounding!" he exclaimed happily. "My Digivice can be used as a power-source for my laptop computer!!"

"Great," Joe mumbled sarcastically," now we can surf the Internet..."

"Not quite..." Izzy told them as he pulled up the Digital map of File Island.

"What are the dots?" Kari asked.

"The other kids!" Tai cheered.

*******************************

TK and Patamon continued to watch the two figures from their hiding spot.

"Who is that?" Patamon whispered anxiously.

"I hope they don't come over here...they don't look very friendly," TK said in a hushed voice. TK was right. You could almost see their red glowing eyes through the cover of shadows. In fact, the two were so busy watching the figures walk up behind the trees, neither of them had noticed the other figure creeping up behind them.

"Patamon help!!" TK yelped as the figure grabbed him and clamped a gloved hand over his mouth.

*******************************

"Matt, how close are we?" Gabumon asked.

"They're right up here," he said looking down at him. They began walking quicker out of excitement. A person was visible up ahead...no, two people. A short one, and a tall one, though the tall one had something under it's arm.

Matt stopped running abruptly towards his destination as soon as he saw what was going on. As for Gabumon, who almost ran into Matt, he was shocked at the sight.

"Nice to see you again, Matt," he said with and evil grin. "Me and TJ have been waiting," Mike told Gabumon and Matt who had scowled at him.

"You better not be mean, or we'll get rid of yer little brother!" TJ laughed cruelly, motioning to the still form of TK being carried under Mike's arm.

"If you hurt him, I'll beat you to a pulp!!" Matt growled angrily.

"Don't get too excited," Mike said cooly, "come get him, if you want him back."
