({A/N} thank you all you nice people who sent me reviews. Here's part 2.J )
Clones, Part 2
By Lab Creation
The digidestined ran through the woods, as fast as they possibly could. They knew they could never outrun their clones, but perhaps they could outsmart them. They dashed behind a large rock and stopped to catch their breath.
"Maybe, we should split up," Izzy said between breaths, "It may make it harder for them to track us."
"But we'll be all alone and defenseless," Mimi whined.
"It's easier to hide one person than it is to hid seven," Izzy pointed out.
"I think we should split up," Tai said, "One. We can probably hid better, like Izzy said. Two. We might find our Digimon faster. Three. If we find our Digimon and we run into our clone, we can fend then of better, because there will be only one. That's assuming that they split up and come after us individually."
It was agreed. They all shot of in different directions and not a moment too soon. Their clones came within view range of the large rock they had been hiding behind.
"They've split up," DarkSora said. ({A/N} From now on, I'm going to call the clones Darkwhatever-their- name-is.)
"Then, we'll split up and follow them," DarkTai replied.
The Darkdestined nodded and split to follow their originals.
~*~
Tai dashed through the woods, glancing back every now and then to see whether or not his clone was after him.
"~I hope the others will be all right,~" Tai thought.
Tai continued to run, looking for Agumon as he went. No sign of his clone…
"NOVA BLAST!!!!"
Tai hit the dirt and a huge ball of fire whizzed over his head.
"~Oh great,~" Tai thought, "~Just what I need.~"
Tai jumped up and ran for all he was worth, dodging Nova Blast attacks along the way. He spotted a cave and dashed into it. Lucky for him, the opening was too small for DarkGreymon to get through. Of course, that wasn't going to stop DarkGreymon from obtaining his quarry. DarkGreymon bent down and shot his attack into the cave.
WHOOOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tai slammed himself against the cave wall to avoid the hot ball of fire. He began searching the cave for a way of escape.
"NOVA BLAST!!"
Another ball of fire zipped down the tunnel. Tai squished himself against the wall to avoid it. Then something caught his eye. Tai smiled. In an attempt to destroy him, DarkGreymon showed him an exit!
"NOVA BLAST!!"
Another ball of fire. As soon as it passed, Tai jumped out from his little hiding spot and dashed toward the opening. Tai stuck his head out cautiously, then jumped out and ran. He'd escaped… for now.

Izzy jumped through bushes and dodged trees, slowing for a moment to catch his breath, then speeding up again. He stopped and leaned against a tree, panting. He hoped his clone wasn't…
"ELECTRO SHOCKER!!!!!!"
Izzy ducked as the attack took the tree's top off. Lucky for him, the attack missed. He took one glance at the giant insect coming at him and turned and dashed off.
"ELECTRO SHOCKER!!"
The attack hit the ground right behind him, causing him to fly forward. Izzy got up and continued to run, but came to an abrupt stop when he found himself on the edge of a cliff and a river rushing below.
"~Uh oh. I'm in trouble now,~" Izzy thought.
He whirled around to see DarkKabuterimon coming right at him. Izzy backed up.
"ELECTRO SHOCKER!!"
A huge ball of electricity shot toward him. He had no choice. He stepped off the edge of the cliff and into the river below.
SPLASH!!!!!!!!!
Izzy was swept down the river. DarkKabuterimon would be unable to follow. He'd escaped the giant insect and now his only fear was drowning in the cold waters of the river…

Sora ran through a huge meadow that was covered in tall grass. She scanned the sky to see whether or not her clone and spotted her. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a large, fiery bird flying toward her at a tremendous speed. She gave a yelp as ducked down low to avoid the giant bird as it swooped over her head. DarkBirdramon flew back up into the air and turned around for another pass. She ducked again as the enormous bird flew over her head. It then turned around and shot out it's attack.
"METOER WING!!!!!!!"
Sora dashed forward and avoided the fiery attack, but that wasn't the end of it. The tall grass caught on fire and began to shoot out in all directions. She turned around and ran.
"METOER WNG!!"
Another fiery attack flew toward her. This time it hit the ground in front of her. She skidded to a stop and turned and continued to run. She soon entered the forest and the fire slowed its pace. DarkBirdramon continued to swoop down and attempt to knock her off her feet. She spotted a cave and ran into it.
"METOER WING!!"
The attack hit the entrance of the cave causing a cave-in. Sora was trapped. She searched for an opening in which she could escape, but she found none. To make matters worse she'd run out of air soon…

Matt, carefully yet quickly, made his way along a rocky terrain, all the while listening and watching for his clone. He'd hoped that he would be over the rocks by the time his clone found him. Obviously that wasn't going to happen.
"HOWLING BLASTER!!!!"
A stream of blue energy streaked toward him. He jumped behind a rock and the energy stream zipped past him harmlessly.
"~Now I'm in a predicament,~" Matt thought, "~DarkGarurumon's fast, too fast for comfort.~"
Matt dashed out from behind the large rock and jumped around the rocks, avoiding attacks as they came.
"HOWLING BLASTER!!"
"BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!"
An enormous rock behind Matt exploded into thousands of pieces. An especially large piece shot toward him and hit him square in the back. He was shot forward a foot or two before he made contact with the ground. Matt struggled to get up, but failed. DarkGarurumon was coming at him… fast.
"HOWLING BLASTER!!"

T.K. ran along a sandy beach, close to trees. He couldn't help but tremble as he ran. He'd been alone in the Digital World before, but not like this. He stopped and rested against a large dirt mound to catch his breath. Suddenly...
"HAND OF FATE!!!!"
T.K. gave a yelp, then turned around and ran. Behind him, the dirt pile he had been resting on exploded and spewed dirt in all directions.
"HAND OF FATE!!"
T.K. moved to the side to avoid the attack, but still it grazed his arm. He snatched his arm in pain and continued to run. He turned and dashed into the woods, DarkAngemon on his tail.
"HAND OF FATE!!"
Nearby, T.K. spotted a huge briar patch. He was small enough for him to crawl around in it without hurting himself, but DarkAngemon was WAY too big to get through. He made a dash for it and squeezed in. He heard DarkAngemon's large wings come to a halt when he approached the briar patch.
"You won't be able to hide in there forever, T.K.!" his clone yelled to him, "You'll have to come out eventually!"
T.K. began searching for a way out.

Joe, perspiring from fear of course, ran through a clearing covered in short grass. He did his best to stay away from the river for he knew that DarkIkkakumon would be there. Oops…
"~Ack!! How'd I get to this river?!~" Joe thought.
Joe skidded to a stop and started to turn around, but…
"HARPOON TORPEDO!!!!"
Joe's eyes grew wide with fear as the attack shot toward him. He dashed off and not a moment too soon. Behind him the attack hit the ground and left a little crater where it hit.
"HARPOON TORPEDO!!"
Another attack. Joe fell on the ground and the attack flew over his head harmlessly. Still it was almost enough to make him faint. Good thing he didn't.
"HARPOON TORPEDO!!"
Joe turned and ran into the woods. The attack hit a couple of trees behind him but luckily he wasn't hurt. He was safe for now. DarkIkkakumon was slow and clumsy on land. Just had to stay away from water…

Mimi ran around a deserted village to see if there was anyone there who could help. (Ooc: Helloooo, Mimi! I said DESERTRED village.)ic: She dashed from one hut to another peeking inside each one and then pulling back, disappointed.
"Mimi."
Mimi stopped and looked around, trying to find out who called her.
"Mimi, over here."
There it was again. Mimi noticed that one of the huts had a big hole on the top. It may have just fallen in naturally since the village looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, but she wanted to be sure. She walked up to it and pushed a bit a straw and wood out of the way.
"Palmon!!!" Mimi cried happily, "I thought I'd lost you!" She reached down a hugged the vegetation Digimon. She would have hugged her longer, but…
"NEEDLE SPRAY!!"
Mimi snatched Palmon and ran into the central structure of the village. She found a hiding spot inside and crawled in.
"Palmon, are you alright?" Mimi asked.
"I don't know," Palmon replied, "I feel numb all over."
"Can you digievole?" Mimi queried.
"I don't even think I can use my Poison Ivy attack," Palmon said weakly.
"LIGHT-SPEED JABBING!!"
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!
On the other side of the room, the wall caved in. DarkTogemon made her way in and scanned the area. Mimi practically hugged the wall to keep from being detected. It wasn't enough. DarkTogemon spotted her. She began her advance toward her…
Heh heh. I leave you hanging on each one. I'm not demanding reviews this time, but it would be nice to get some.
