The sun blazed a final burst of energy before settling beneath the never - ending forest. It's light shone on a party of 16. 8 of the group were humans and the other 8 were Digimon. They seemed to be going nowhere, seeming to walk without stopping. The moon proudly rose high above the land, shining over the land. Finally, one of the humans said something.

"I'm tired!" Mimi whined as she stumbled over a stone. "And I'm hungry!"

"You're not the only one, Mimi," T.K and Patamon replied at the same time, listening to their reverberating stomachs.

"See Tai, I'm not the only one who wants to stop and get some food," Mimi stated as she jogged forward to see Tai face to face. She grabbed him by the shoulders and turned him around to face her. "Are you going to let poor little T.K starve to death because of you want to march forever and ever?" she said, trying to get Tai to agree. Tai simply shrugged off her hand and continued hike onward. He knew she was using T.K to get her own wants.

"She does have a point, Tai." Tai turned around to face the person that had just intervened.

"Yeah, what do you mean Izzy?" The short, red haired boy genius took his time to collect his thoughts and respond.

"I mean that if we're weak, the Digimon won't be able to digivolve properly and protect us." After listening to this, Tai folded his arms and started to think. He looked at the small group that he lead through this crazy place called the digital world. He saw that they really were in need of some R&R. On the other hand, if we stop, Puppetmon could attack us. Then both the real world and the digiworld could be destroyed. However, if we were attacked right now, we would have no chance of defending ourselves, he thought to himself.

He slowly opened and his eyes and smiled. "All right guys, we are going to stop for tonight." The whole group exhaled a collective sigh.

"Where are we going to stop for tonight, Tai? We've been walking for hours and haven't seen one suitable campsite. And this place," Matt replied, gesturing to their present location, "isn't any better. What makes you think that we'll find one now?"

"Matt, do you have any ideas on what to do? Cause if you do, I'd love to hear them," Tai retorted. Matt seemed to get ready to argue, but Izzy quickly cut him off.

"Matt is right, Tai. It would be a logical conclusion to find a suitable camp - site to sleep for tonight," Izzy restated.

"Yeah, but who's gonna look for a place to rest?" Joe asked, subconsciously pushing up his glasses.

"Why can't we all go and find somewhere to sleep?" T.K inquired.

"It's simple T.K. If we all go in a big group, we would be easy targets for Puppetmon to attack. By splitting up, if one group is attacked, the other can come help," Izzy answered.

"Okay, so who's going and who is staying behind?" Sora asked.

"Well, I'm not going to move another inch. Choose someone else." Mimi complained.

"I'll stay here too. I can cover the remaining group with the digital barrier I downloaded from Gennai," Izzy then said.

"I know! Joe and I can go to find camp," Sora said.

"What!" Tai exclaimed.

"It's all right Tai, I'm okay with going with Sora," Joe said.

"It's not that!"

"Then what is it Tai?"

"You see, that's a good question,"

Kari then shouted, "I know why Tai wants Sora to stay! It's because he..." Kari was then stopped by Tai's mouth being clamped over her mouth. As Kari and Tai fought over if Kari was going to talk, Matt took this time to say something. "I'll go with Joe. T.K will come with me too."

Tai stopped wrestling with Kari to try to say thanks, but Kari somehow was able to painfully pin him to the ground, so he was only able to grunt a muffled okay.

"Have any idea where to go Matt?" Joe said.

"Not really, Joe. I was just going to let our Digimon lead the way and just follow them. See, Gomamon knows where every body of water is located, Gabumon could sniff his way to some shelter and Patamon could fly above to look for enemy Digimon," Matt said in a matter - of - factly tone.

"Good thinking." Joe replied.

"Well guys, lead the way," Matt said to the Digimon.

The small group of 6 continued to trek through the forest. Nothing was exchanged, until…

"Ouch!" Matt shouted.

"What happened Matt?" T.K asked apprehensively.

"It's nothing T.K, just that stupid mark Myotismon gave me," Matt responded.

"Oh yeah," Gomamon said. His mind flashed back to when they were locked in combat with Myotismon. Gatomon had just digivolved into Angewomon and things were looking bad for Myotismon.

"Give it up Myotismon, we have you beat!" Tai said excitedly.

"You truly believe I'm beaten, don't you digi - brats?" Myotismon snapped. He then closed his eyes and started to whisper a chant unknown to them.

"What is he doing?" Weregururumon whispered to Zudomon.

"I don't know, but we should stop him before something weird happens," Zudomon answered back.

"Izzy, any idea what's he doing?" Sora asked.

"Already working on that Sora," Izzy hastily answered. After a couple of minutes, Izzy started talking. "It's a special vampire chant called Blood Restitution. I can't decipher what it means, but with Myotismon using it, it can't be good," Izzy told the group.

"Hey where'd Myotismon disappear to?" Joe said. While looking at Izzy's computer, Myotismon seemed to have disappeared. Even the digimon were clueless as to his location.

"I am right here, foolish human," Myotismon said as he appeared right behind Matt. An unnerving tremor started to travel through Matt's body as Myotismon sunk his teeth into him.

"Matt!" T.K cried, as he watched his brother squirm in pain.

"That's enough Myotismon!" Angemon yelled as he swung his staff into Myotismon's neck. Myotismon winced in pain, but did not release his grip on Matt. "Okay, you asked for it! Hand of Fate!" Angemon held as he released his attack toward Myotismon. He dodged the attack and released Matt. Matt slumped to the floor. While this had happened, Angewomon had used her Heaven's Charm attack to paralyze Myotismon and gather the other Digimon's attacks. She then used it for her Celestial Arrow to destroy Myotismon.

After the fight with Venommyotismon, Joe and his brother, Jim, checked out the bite left on Matt's neck. Even though Jim was a respected medic, he had never seen anything like it. Instead of two normal bite marks, the bite was filled with a clear red fluid. Since Izzy was unable to decipher the ancient chant, nothing could be done.

Joe meticulously examined the bite. He smiled when he finished. "Good news, Matt. The bite is starting to shrink."

"Good, you don't know how troublesome this thing is," Matt replied.

10 minutes later, the small group was still walking toward their destination. Gomamon said he was sure that a lake was nearby while Gabumon argued that a cave was even closer and a fight ensued. After Matt and Joe broke them up, Patamon and T.K had found out that they were both right. After some more hiking, they came to a small lake with a cave close by. After checking for any traps and evil Digimon, they picked T.K to go back and tell the others.

"All right T.K, this is a big responsibility. No playing around okay? And the second you get into trouble, come back and get Joe and I, okay?" Matt instructed his younger brother.

"Okay, Matt!" T.K said. He turned to Patamon. "Okay Patamon, time to digivolve."

"Okay!" Patamon replied.

Patamon digivolved to.... Angemon!

"Okay guys we'll return real soon," T.K said as Angemon flew higher into the sky. Matt watched until Angemon disappeared into the inky, black sky. He still watched the sky even after Angemon had left.

"Hey, Matt, can you come and help me out here?" Joe asked. Matt, being knocked out of his daydream, turned toward Joe.

"Yeah, I'm coming Joe," Matt said, watching Joe turn to start preparing camp. Matt looked up at the sky one last second before turning to help Joe. Take care of yourself, T.K, Matt thought as he walked toward Joe,

It did not T.K and Angemon long to find the others. He quickly filled them in and showed them the way. When they finally got there, what awaited them had taken the group by surprise. Joe, Gomamon, Gabumon, and Matt were some how able to transform the lake and cave into an almost suitable home. Trout and tuna were hanging over a spit. A small but impressive pile of fruit and vegetable were arranged in homemade platters. The cave was cleaned out and filled with crude, askew, homemade beds. When they were asked how this was done in such a small amount of time, they answered that it was something only people with their particular skills could do.

"Mmm, Matt this is the best!" T.K declared, chomping off a large piece of fish.

"Yeah, Matt, where did you learn how to prepare cuisine like this?" Izzy added in.

Matt looked around suspiciously and then whispered, "Do you really want to know?" This got the attention of everyone and they turned to face him.

"Yeah, yeah, Matt tell us," Biyomon said.

Matt then made them gather in a circle. He was silent for a few moments, then shouted, "CAUSE I'M DA MAN!" He watched the group fall backwards in their fright and laughed at their surprise. Tai, after collecting his composure, pushed Matt.

"Geez, Matt, what's your problem?" Matt only retaliated by elbowing him in the gut.

"Just lighten up man! It is just a practical joke!"

"Lighten up?! Lighten up!? I'll show you how to lighten up!" Tai then socked Matt in the jaw.

"Not another fight," Mimi replied.

"Don't these guys realize it's only hurting themselves and us by fighting?" Joe replied.

When will these people learn? Sora thought. They fight and fight and nothing is solved. Well, it going to stop right here and now. She then walked up to a still fighting Matt and Tai. She then easily separated the two boys and slapped them both. "Now listen you two, I'm tired of you two fighting each other. Now stop this or... I'll... give you both a spanking!" She blurted out angrily. Matt and Tai were too stunned to say or do anything. "Now apologize and shake hands," she commanded. Tai and Matt reluctantly shook hands and mumbled sorry. " Now the rest of you get ready to sleep. Mimi, you've got first watch." All the Digimon and humans quickly nodded and ran from the presence of Sora.

"Have you ever Sora so angry before, Tai?" Agumon asked.

"Not really little dude. I definitely do not want to see that side again." Tai said, still surprised that Sora smacked him.

Man, Tai is such a dunce; Matt thought to himself while nursing the bruise under his eye. He really needs to control his anger. He looked up into the night sky.

"Matt, you're still not thinking about the fight, are you?" Gabumon inquired.

Matt gave a small smirk. "Yours or mine?" he retaliated.

Gabumon briefly blushed then said, "Don't change the subject Matt! You know exactly what was meant! Forget about it, Matt. It's in the past."

"Really, huh?" Matt asked. "All right Gabumon, I'll forget about it. Just keep that fire burning." Under the somnolent effects of the blazing fire, Matt nodded off. While sleeping, his bite glowed a murky crimson red and closed on itself, disappearing into nothingness.

Oh great, Matt thought as he woke up. Falling asleep is not one of things to do while keeping watch. He looked around. Where is everybody? In fact, what is this weird mist doing here? It wasn't here while I was awake. He was right. A murky, swirling mist had settled around his legs. It chilled him to his bones. I better get out here before this mist gives my legs frostbite. All of a sudden, the mist vanished. "What the..." Matt thought aloud.

"I did that, Matt," an enigmatic voice that appeared to come from everywhere informed him.

Matt's mind started to race. That voice! It's not possible! He could not be here! "S-show yourself," Matt stammered, doing a poor job of masking his fear.

"Fine," and the figure stepped out of the darkness. As the individual stepped closer toward Matt, the unforgettable scent of cigarettes wrapped itself around his nose, making his eyes water. "It is me, Yomato, don't tell me your adventures in the digiworld made you forget me already?" the individual slowly verbalized.

"That doesn't prove a thing." Matt boldly stated. "Anyone could have figured that out."

"Oh really?" The figure answered, his voice full of smugness. "How about that harmonica, then? I bought it for you. That harmonica player engraved it. He gave you a couple a lessons and taught you that song you always play. You really did not care until he died. That's when that harmonica became one of the most important thing in your life," the character said.

Now Matt was baffled. Not only was he right, but also the only person that knew was his father. However, his father couldn't be here. "I thought only the Chosen Children could come to the digital world," he whispered aloud.

"Well, things are changing every second of every minute of every hour of every day," the figure said.

Matt then turned around to see... "Dad!?"

What's going to happen next? You have to continue to read the next part of the series. My e - mail is shaunforde@juno.com. Can someone tell me what Matt's dad name is? Oh yeah, REVIEW!!!!
