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

The Digiduds! Part VIII-TK in Trouble!!

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

"So what are you waiting for? The longer it takes, the sooner your sibling will die." Mike glared at Matt evilly.

"You'd better drop him," Matt threatened, "or you'll regret it."

"Oh, will I?" Mike teased an already enraged Matt.

"Gabumon..." Matt whispered to his partner. Gabumon nodded.

"Gabumon WARP Digivolve to.....................Metal Garurumon!!" Gabumon knew Matt was angry, he felt he had better do everything he could. Besides, Matt's crest had given him such a surge of energy, Gabumon had thought he best use it.

Metal Garurumon hesitated, knowing that if he charged Mike, he might hurt TK. Of course Metal Garurumon would have felt guilty for charging such a little kid like TJ....

Matt, on the other hand, went straight for Mike. He took off like a shot, now having Metal Garurumon for cover. Matt ran into a rather unsuspecting Mike, who got a punch in the stomach. Mike flew backwards into a tree, dropping TK on the way down, and was now clutching his stomach in pain. Matt raced over to where TK was stirring on the jungle floor but was stopped abruptly half of the way there by a flying fireball that landed in between him and his little brother. He backed away from the flames and turned to see who had fired {no pun intended} the shot.

"My buddy Lavamon and I don't like cheeters!!" TJ taunted. Standing next to him was a large red dragon with tall, sharp, green spines down its back, not to mention the large claws it had.

Metal Garurumon had also been hit by a ball of fire, and was now recovered. He raced over to Matt and took a protective stance in front of him. Lavamon and Metal Garurumon charged at each other, soon engaged in close combat, while Matt and TJ watched from the sidelines.

"Wind Barrell!!" Matt swung around to find a roaring tornado ripping up the ground behind him. The tornado was heading right for him.

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

TK slowly rolled over and opened his eyes. He looked up to find a ring of fire around him. TK frantically looked around for Patamon. "Help, somebody!!" he shouted over the crackle of the flames.

"You want help?" TK turned around to find Mike. He chuckled. "Your dear Patamon isn't here, and your older brother will be dead momentarily. Honestly, I'm not sure where you'll be getting that help." TK's eyes popped open.

"What did you do to them?" he said in the loudest voice he could muster, wiping his eyes with the back of his sleeve.

"Nothing you'd want to hear about...but perhaps I should tell you anyhow." TK shook his head in disbelief. "Don't believe me? Just look for yourself," he said as he chuckled.

TK stood up and looked over and past the flames a ways into the jungle. He heard noises that sounded like explosions. Just then, he saw Metal Garurumon run by followed by a red dragon, and TJ. 'Metal Garurumon?' he thought. 'That's gotta mean Matts here too!!' He looked more but didn't see him. He started to worry when Mike spoke up.

"Don't see your brother?" Mike smirked. TK began to quiver.

"He's okay, I know!!" TK shouted at a surprised Mike. Once more he ran his sleeve across his face to wipe away the tears that began to flow down his cheeks. TK made a dash out of the flames when they were down a bit, escaping burn-free. TK ran faster hoping he could find Patamon in time to help Metal Garurumon.

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

"So? Where should we start?" Tai asked as he fiddled with his goggles.

"Hmmm...." Izzy murmured while examining the map. "I propose we first go for the one closest." Joe peeked over his shoulder.

"That one looks pretty close," he said.

"But Izzy," Kari asked, "how will we know if we're gonna run into those funny kids? Isn't there a way to see them too?" Izzy stopped for a minute.

"That's a good idea..." he thought aloud.

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

Matt's eyes widened as the tornado drew nearer to him. Suddenly, he snapped out of his daze and began running away, as fast as he could. He glanced behind him just in time to see the tornado catch him.

"Matt!!!" Metal Garurumon finished fighting with Lavamon, who was now De-Digivolved into, well, whatever he Digivolved from. Metal Garurumon bolted over to the tornado, and could barely make out Matt's flailing form in the swirling cloud of dust. Before he knew what he was doing, he leapt into the center of the windstorm. Desperately, he began swimming towards Matt, who in turn was trying to get to him.

"Hahaha....you're so funny to watch..." chuckled TJ from beside his Digimon. "See? My big brother's Digimon, Gustmon, is really strong!!" he called motioning to the tall bird-like creature next to him. Gustmon was a little taller than one of the older kids, had feet like Garudamon, and a cape-like wrap made of golden brown feathers around him.

"Matt!! Garb on!!" Metal Garurumon called to his friend over the roaring winds. Matt reached out his hand, as far as it would go.

"I can't reach!!" Matt shouted to his Digimon.

Gustmon suddenly waved a feather-covered arm and shouted, "Four Corners!!" After he had said this, the wind suddenly parted, one gust of wind sent Metal Garurumon flying into a patch of grass, another carried Matt into the trunk of a tree at high speeds. Meanwhile, TJ had been having hysterics off to the side of the action and a shocked TK bolted out of the bushes.

"Matt!!" he cried, as he rushed over to the still form of his older brother. "Matt! Matt! Wake up!" he began to cry as he shook his brother violently.

"TK!!" TK turned his head in the direction of the familiar voice.

"Patamon!!" Sure enough, the little winged creature was flying towards him with a big smile on his face. "Where did you come from?" he asked happily.

"Over there!" Patamon answered as TK hugged him tightly.

"What?! I thought I got rid of you?!" Mike growled as he too emerged from the bushes.

"Should I?" Patamon asked shyly. TK nodded.

"Patamon Digivolve to................Angemon!!"

"Hand of Fate!!" Angemon charged at Gustmon.

"Wind Barrell!!!!" shouted, countering Angemon's attack. The golden energy from Angemon seemed to mix into the tornado, illuminating it with a beautiful yellow glow. As the tornado neared him, Angemon twirled his staff, catching the attack.

"I thought you might like this back!!" he shouted as he turned the golden winds back on Gustmon.

"GAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Gustmon yelled loudly as he was swallowed and De-Digivolved. Angemon also reverted to Patamon.

"Yay!!" Patamon and TK cheered.

"Ooof..." Gabumon said as he hoisted himself out of the bushes, which had been rather sharp. Gabumon had changed from Metal Garurumon after being beat on by Gustmon and Lavamon.

"You're so mean!!" TJ wailed as he cradled his little red Digimon in his arms.

"We'll be back, Digidestined, you can guarantee that." Mike glared at them as he and his brother made their way off the scene with their Digimon.

"Oh!! Matt!!" Gabumon hurried over to his friend.

"Please, be okay...please be okay..." TK said to himself as he shook his older brother more. Matt groaned, and slowly turned over. He opened his eyes to see three worried faces over him.

"TK! You're okay!" Matt said happily as he rubbed his head.

"What about you?" he asked, relived his bother was alive.

"Besides having a major headache..." he smiled. TK laughed.

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

"Prodigious!" Izzy exclaimed.

"What?" Tai asked, looming behind him.

"This map of File Island can display the current locations of the rest of our friends, their Digimon, and the location of those other kids too!"

"That's great, but how are we supposed to tell them apart?" Joe asked as he adjusted his glasses.

"Aw, don't worry Joe!" Gomamon laughed.

"Izzy, the dots are all different colors!" Kari exclaimed, while examining the map.

"Exactly! The red dots are the other kids, the green are their Digimon, and the blue are those funny kids!" Izzy was delighted with his work. "I used information on the crests Joe and I found to track them!"

"So, what are we waiting for?" Tai said impatiently. "Let's go!"

"Okay! We can head for that dot!" Agumon suggested, pointing to the screen. They all agreed and climbed on either Kabuterimon or Ikkakumon heading for a neighboring island.
