AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey all! Glad you made it this far! I know I haven't really gotten Tai's attitude
right, but I'm really close. Please bear with me. I consider this chapter as...emotional...but
not really emotional.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Digimon, or anything that has anything to do with Digimon. I'm just
using the characters for my amusement. If you believe I do own Digimon, then you might want to
enroll in an insane asylum.
Chapter VI
Takeru turned his attention to Jyou. Jyou was having difficulty keeping him under control. Tai,
Sora, and Mimi had come over to see what was wrong. Takeru got one hand free, punched Jyou, and
twisted his arm, attempting to get away.
(MINI AUTHOR'S NOTE: the stuff I say in ( ) is exactly what I mean, literally.)
(In Take's mind...)
"Let go!" The spider yelled at Jyou, "Infernal man..." Takeru noticed he was having trouble, and
wasn't paying any attention to him. He snuck around behind it and attacked it again. It was
caught totally off guard, so he managed to subdue it quite a bit.
(Normal...)
"Let go!" Takeru yelled, trying to get away from Jyou. "....Infernal man..." after he said that,
he suddenly stopped. He released Jyou's arm and just stood there. His eyes became unfocused. Jyou
didn't let go of Takeru, even though Take's arms went limp in his hands. Tai was seeing if Kari
was okay, and Sora and Mimi were staring at Takeru.
"Why'd you do that?" Taichi yelled, unleashing his anger and quick temper onto Takeru. Take
closed his eyes. He had to warn them. He discovered he had control of his body again, but he knew
it wouldn't last long. He opened his eyes and looked at each of them. Mimi, Sora, and Jyou looked
at him with concern and confusion and Tai was definately mad. Kari... Kari looked hurt... Kind of
scared... He had a million things to tell them, to warn them.... but once he saw Kari's face, he
was speechless. A big lump formed in his throat. "Hey, I'm talking to you!" Taichi threatened,
walking menecingly towards Take.
"Kari...I..." Takeru stopped. He couldn't continue. Tai walked up to him and grabbed his collar
with his good hand. Take blinked and looked at Tai. "Tai... you have to get it out... get
away...I...I-I'm afraid I'll..."
"You'll what?....You'll what?!" Tai yelled. Take flinched and tried to back away.
"Tai, calm down. Kari told him, "Let him go!" In surprise, Tai released Take, who stepped back a
few steps.
"Kari..."
"Takeru... I know there's something wrong with you. I know you'd never hurt me... so tell me
what it is so we can help you." Kari told him.
"K-Katyamon did something... She said...S-She said something about..." he trailed off.
"Yes?" Kari asked softly.
"She wants to use me as a tool to kill everyone. There's this thing... in my mind that I can't..
I can't really fight. It takes control of me, and then all I can do is watch..." Takeru trailed
off, "..That's why I want to leave, so I don't hurt anybody..else.."
"But if you stay with us, we can help you." Kari pleaded. Takeru suddenly heard an ear-splitting
noise, and grabbed his head.
(In Take's head...)
"You stupid kid! How dare you give away my secret! I'll kill you!... But first you shall help
queen Katyamon weather you want to or not!" Take blocked the blows the spider laid upon him, but
soon couldn't take it any longer.
(Normal...)
Take fell to his knees. His eyes became unfocused again. There was great conflict shown on his
face. After a few minutes, his eyes rolled into the back of his head, and he fell over.
"Take!" Kari cried. Tai grabbed her shoulder and held her back.
"He could hurt you again!" Jyou walked towards Take when he suddenly got up. Once again, there
was no emotion shown on his face.
(New POV)
He awoke with a start. He was in a forest with 5 people he didn't know. Four of them he
reconized from before, but two were unfamiliar. He pulled himself into a sitting position, and
saw the blonde holding his head. Then, the kid stood up and looked at the others. He immediately
reconized what was wrong. He pulled himself to his feet, ignoring the slight pain in his
shoulder. The blonde lunged at the brown, spikey-haired kid. With his fast reflexes, he tackled
the blonde before he even touched Tai. Tai and the ohters stood there, stuned. The blonde was
stronger than he looked, and tossed him off with little effort. He got up quickly and eyed
Takeru.
Tai and Jyou looked at each other and nodded. Tai whispered something to Sora and Mimi, while
Jyou snuck around behind Take. The blue-haired boy, who had been chasing him before, came into
his field of view. He paid him no mind, so Take wouldn't catch on to him. Take lunged at him and
tackled him. He blocked most of Take's punches, and then launched him back into a tree. Take
slumped down, and lay still at the base of the tree. He sighed and sat up to see the others
looking at him.
The girl with light-brown hair was the one who approched him, "Who are you?" she asked, offering
her hand. He took it and stood up. He looked about 16, but he wasn't even 5ft. tall. He was close
though.
"Akira." he answered, unsure of them. Jyou went over and checked on Take. He was awake, but
disoriented. He pulled Take up, and held onto his shoulders.
"How'd you know about him?" Kari asked.
"By the look in his eyes, and his face showed no emotion." Akira answered.
"How did you get here, Kira?" Sora asked.
"It's Akira."
"Are you one of the digideastened too?" Mimi asked. Akira said nothing.
"They asked you a question..." Tai started.
"Don't be so pushy Tai. He doesn't have to tell us anything. For all we know, he's been here his
whole life." Kari scolded. Tai backed off.
"Hey! What do we do about Take?" Jyou asked, holding Take tighter each time he tried to escape.
"Why don't we go to Gennai's house? We need to talk to him anyway... about Katyamon." Tai
decided. The others agreed.
"You know Gennai?" Akira asked, surprised.
Before Tai had a chance to answer, someone else interrupted him. "Why go to that old coot when
you can get it right from the source?" Katyamon asked. The digidestened and Akira turned to see
her, along with tons of Marlamon.
"Digivolve!" five voices yelled at once.
"Biyomon digivolve to.....Birdramon!"
"Palmon digivolve to.....Togomon!"
"Gatomon digivolve to.....Angewomon!"
"Gomamon digivolve to.....Ikkakumon!"
The digimon all launched into action. Soon all the digimon, except Angewomon, digivolved again.
Katyamon entered the fight at this point. She took out Zudomon first. She hit him with her 'Cats
Eye' attack, knocking him into Angewomon, and knocking her out of the sky. Both dedigivolved into
Gomamon and Gatomon. Only Lilymon and Garudamon were left.
"Wing Blade!"
"Flower Cannon!"
The two digimon attacked. "Pepper Breath!" Agumon attempted to help.
"Blue Blaster!"
"Boom Bubble!" Katyamon just laughed at their 'pathetic' attempts.
Takeru slipped out of Jyou's grasp. Jyou grabbed Take's arm to keep a hold of him. Take turned,
grabbed Jyou's arm, and twisted it as hard and as fast as he could. Jyou cried out and released
Take. Take ran into the battlefield, but only got half way acrossed before the battle ended. Both
Lilymon and Garudamon had been defeated, and had dedigivolved to their rookie forms.
(In Take's mind...)
Takeru fought the spider for control "This is *MY* body, it was mine first, and you're not going
to take it from me!" Takeru yelled.
"Yes, but you are too weak. You can't force me out."
"And why not?"
"Because you can't remove me, Spiralmon, a spider-like digimon from your neck."
"...I thought...you were a machine..."
"(*insert meneical laughter here*) That was to fool you, you silly child. Why are you looking at
me like that?" Spiralmon asked feircely. Take looked at him with a sad look on his face.
"You mean...you have no form of your own? You just steal others..."
"Yes, of course I have a form of my own!"
Takeru crossed his arms. "I don't believe you." Take told him, "You're lying. The only reason
you won't leave, is because you have my body adn you know you can control it. Even if I fight
back..." Take crossed his fingers, hoping his trick would work.
Spiralmon interupted him, "I'll prove it to you! I'll prove it right now!" Spiralmon yelled. He
shot some web up to the 'celing'(for lack of a better word) and dissapeared. After about a
minute, blackness swept over Takeru, and he discovered he, and he alone, could control his body.
(Meanwhile Normal...)
"Ha..ha..(*insert meneical laughter here*...yes again!) See digidestened. You are no match for
me. Marlamon, go capture me some digidestened." she ordered.
"Run!!!" Akira yelled. All the digidestened took off, except Takeru. Akira saw him and ran back
to him. "Come on!" he exclaimed, and was surprised when he did. Kari had noticed they weren't
following, and had stopped to wait for them. She saw a big, spider-like digimon seemingly come
out of nowhere.
"Look out!" Kari yelled. She ran towards them and managed to push Takeru aside.
"Webnet!" Spiralmon attacked, and a white, sticky spiderweb pinned her and Akira to the ground.
"Kari!" Tai and Take cried out simutanously.
"No Take, run! I'll be fine! Just run!" Kari yelled. Take hesitated. "GO!!!" she cried.
"Kari!" Gatomon yelled.
"No Gatomon! Help Take escape! Please!"
"Webnet!" Takeru dodged the huge spiderweb headed straight for him. The edge of it caught his
foot and tripped him.
"Lightning Claw!" Gatomon's claws sliced through the web that trapped Take's foot.
"Hand of Fate!" Angemon, who had digivolved, attacked. "Hurry Gatomon, I can't hold them."
"Angemon! Please take Takeru and Gatomon to saftey!" Kari yelled. Angemon nodded, went over,
picked up Gatomon and Take, and flew towards the others. Soon they were out of sight.
"We can't just leave her here!" Takeru yelled.
"Listen Takeru, our digimon are in no condition to fight Katyamon, much less go on a rescue
mission. We'll have to come back when our digimon are up to it," Tai reasoned.
"No! We have to help her now!" Takeru argued.
"Take, I, of all people, am worried about my little sister, but we can't put our digimon in
danger either. We need to let our digimon recooperate, and it wouldn't hurt to get some info from
Gennai."
"I guess...." Take relented, Tai's words finally calming him down a little. He glanced worriedly
the way they had come.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spiralmon went down and picked up Kari and Akira. Neither said a word. Spiralmon took the
webbing off of them, and used some of it to tye their wrists together behind their backs. He
brought them up to Katyamon.
"Traitor," Katyamon growled.
"How can I be a traitor if I was never on your side in the first place?" Akira asked. Katyamon
hissed at him, and smacked him. Thin lines of blood ran down his face from the scratches she left
behind.
"Take them to my castle Spiralmon, then come and see me." Katyamon ordered. She then pulled out
a small device which looked like a remote control, and hit a few buttons. A rift opened up and
she stepped into it. "Oh and Spiralmon? Don't let your guard down for a second." Then the rift
disappeared and Katyamon's voice faded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This way..." Matt said aloud to himself. He had set off to find Tai and the others. Matt was
getting a few signals on his digivice. He was close, and getting closer. Matt cupped his hands
around his mouth and called for them.
"Tai! Kari!" he called.
"Matt, over here!" Sora called back. Jyou, Tai, Sora, Mimi, and Takeru appeared with all of the
digimon with them.
"Gabumon..." Matt bent down and hugged his digimon hello. "What happened?" Matt asked.
"We'll explain later," Tai told him. "First we need to contact Gennai..."
"I can take you to him. I came out here looking for you guys. Izzy decided to stay with Gennai,
and Gennai wanted to do some tests on him." Matt informed them. He turned and started
backtracking to Gennai's house. The others followed.
"...What do you mean...tests?" Mimi asked.
"......."
"Matt?"
"You'll see when we get there," Matt replied.
