"Matt are we almost there?" T.K. asked as Matt led them through the dense forest.
"Almost T.K. By my calculations we should be there in 10 minutes time." Izzy answered. They had been walking since daybreak to rescue their friends. Everyone was tired and hungry, but Matt pressed on. After about 5 more minutes of uneasy silence, Matt spoke.
"Okay, we're about 5 minutes out. Here's the plan." Matt started. "Metalgarurumon, Angemon, T.K. and I, will provide the distraction, so we'll go in first. Mimi, you Izzy, Lilymon, and Megakabuterimon, will protect Gatomon from any oncoming attacks. And Gatomon you will break the locks and help get everyone to safety. As soon as they're safe, we leave. No extra fighting." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Okay. Digivolve!"
"GABUMON WARPDIGIVOLVE TO… METALGARURUMON!"
"TENTOMON DIGIVOLVE TO… KABUTERIMON!"
"KABUTERIMON DIGIVOLVE TO… MEGAKABUTERIMON!"
"PALMON DIGIVOLE TO… TOGEMON!"
"TOGEMON DIGIVOVE TO… LILYMON!"
"PATAMON DIGIVOLVE TO… ANGEMON!" Everyone climbed on Megakabuterimon and he took off. They didn't notice the pair of eyes watching them carefully.

"Wow." Joe said quietly. "Look at this place." They were in the spot where Gennai had taken them too. But they couldn't find Tai or Agumon. "This cave isn't that big. We should be able to find him soon." Sora nodded and they set off to look for their leader.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Puppetmon. We have located the digidestined. They are headed this way and will be here in 30 seconds time." A redveggiemon said to his master.
"Excellent. I will be dealing with them myself you may leave." The Redveggiemon slowly bounced away just as Puppetmon started hearing the sounds of the digidestined digimon. I'll catch them by surprise. They'll never know what hit them. "PUPPET PUMMLE!" He slammed his mallet down and it let out yellow energy towards the sounds. He heard a few groans and then a hard crash.
"What was that?" Matt asked as T.K. picked up Patamon. "It sounded like it came from this direction." Matt pointed to the right. He hopped on Metalgarurumon and took off. "We'll check it out." He yelled back to the others. They were flying over the forest when all of the sudden they saw a very small puppet hover in their way. He had a hammer and an evil smile on his face. "Who are you?" Did you attack us?" The puppet nodded. Then he swung his mallet around and caught Metalgarurumon in the face. They fell to the ground. "Do you know who this digimon is?" Matt asked Metalgarurumon. He nodded.
"Puppetmon. He's a mega digimon. He should be hard to take down. But I'll do it." Matt nodded and got off. Metalgarurumon flew up to Puppetmon. "ICE WOLF CLAW!" The blast of ice flew towards Puppetmon, he merely flew higher. Metalgarurumon charged at him but just before he would bite his head off his jaws stopped. He turned around and headed for Matt! He realized that he was being controlled. "Matt run!" He shouted. Matt took off. He flew through the woods but not gracefully enough because he soon tripped and fell. Metalgarurumon came to him, charging full speed. Matt could see Puppetmon flying above him. His jaws opened, here he came!
"CELESTIAL ARROW!" One of her arrows snipped two of the strings on Metalgarurumon's right side. He turned to the side and crashed into a tree. Puppetmon got yanked down with him and also hit a tree.
"It's over!" Metalgarurumon said. Puppetmon turned around but came face to face with Megakabuterimon, Angewomon and Lillymon.

Tai woke up in a soft bed. He looked around and saw Gennai and Agumon talking. He was in what looked like a cave. Brilliant paintings lined the wall. After Tai looked at them, he saw that there was 1 picture of each digidestined. Each had there tag and crest around their neck and the digivice in their hand. "Where am I?" He asked roughly. He soon found out it hurt to talk. They both turned around.
"I see you're awake." Gennai said. "You, Sora, and Joe are here in my safe house. You will remain here for the week. Tai opened his mouth to speak but Gennai continued. "Sora, Joe and their digimon landed in a different part of the cave. They'll be here soon." Tai nodded and soon went back to sleep.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"I'm not afraid of you." Lillymon laughed.
"FLOWER CANNON!"
"HORN BUSTER!"
"CELESTIAL ARROW!"
"METAL WOLF CLAW!" Puppetmon dodged Lillymon and Angewomon's attack. But Megakabuterimon, and Metalgarurumon found their target. Puppetmon screamed in agony as he was deleted.

"Where are they?" Mike raged. "They should have made a rescue attempt by now." Suddenly their camp was flooded with dark light. Nobody was scared though. They knew exactly who it was. "Hello Piedmon." Mike said dully as the clown walked into view.
"Greetings. You are wondering when the digidestined will come to rescue their friends. Correct?" Everyone nodded. "Well they are on their way. They have already destroyed two of my most powerful allies. So they are strong. But be prepared there are only 5 coming. Friendship, Sincerity, Knowledge, Hope, and Light. The others have been separated." Piedmon smirked. And I know where they are."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"TAI!" Sora yelled. "AGUMON! WHERE ARE YOU?" She paused to listen. She heard a low yell. It sounded like Agumon.
"IS THAT YOU AGUMON?" Joe yelled. They heard what sounded like a "yes". Sora and Joe took off in the direction of the voice. Suddenly Joe put his hand on Sora's shoulder, stopping her. "Look." Joe pointed to where she was about to step. Off a cliff. They looked down the steep hill and saw Agumon and Tai.
"Sora, do you get the sensation that something's not right here?" Biyomon asked. She slowly nodded. Joe and Gomamon also agreed.
"Look!" Gomamon said. They saw a glimpse of a knife against Tai's back. It was held by a white handed glove. "That's Piedmon."
"So the darkdestined found us. That's just great." Joe sighed. "What do we do?" He looked at Sora. "Sora. Sora?" She was just staring into space. He waved a hand in front of her eyes. "Snap out of it." Joe looked at Gomamon and nodded. He nodded back.
"GOMAMON DIGIVOLVE TO… IKKAKUMON!"
"IKKAKUMON DIGIVOLVE TO… ZUDOMON!" Zudomon rose over the cliff and jumped down with Joe in toe.
"Well, well, who do we have here?" Jon said laughing. "Reliability? We'll see how reliable you are after we're done with you. His digivice and crest started to glow.
"CRABMON DIGIVOLVE TO… COELEMON!"
"COELEMON DIGIVOLVE TO… MEGADRAMON!" Megadramon charged Zudomon.
"Dark Side Attack!" Megadramon shot his missle att Zudomon who waved his hammer at the missle. It spun out of control as it headed right towards the sleeping Tai.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"There they are." T.K. said. "Go for it Patamon!" Patamon nodded.
"PATAMON DIGIVOLVE TO… ANGEMON!"
"HAND OF FATE!"
"ICE WOLF CLAW!" Angemon and Metalgarurumon flew in the camp. T.K. and Matt were riding on Metalgarurumon.
"RIVER OF POWER!"
"CRIMSON LIGHTNING!" The two digimon moved out of the way just in time. Meanwhile Izzy and Mimi were trying to protect Kari.
"FLOWER CANNON"
"HORN BUSTER!" Okuwamon, Blossomon, and Ladydevimon's attacks were eliminated. "Hurry up Gatomon!" Megakabuterimon said.
"LIGTNING CLAWS!" The lock almost broke.
"One more time!" Kari yelled.
"LIGHTNING CLAWS!" The gate fell off its hinges and the digimon were free. "Lets go!" Gatomon said. Everyone climbed on Megakabuterimon and they flew away.
