Whoo Hoo!!!! Finally got chapter * I feel so happy. Sorry it took so long. Hopefully it won't take as long to get the rest of them. By the way I'm taking names for the main bad guy so if you want to suggest some I'm all ears. I know that sounds cheap but damnit I still am holding this pesky writers block and I'm trying sooo hard to get rid of it, but I think the last person put surper glue on it.
Anyway thank you for reading. Disclaimers still apply.

Chapter 8- Fog, Shadows, and Elevators

Wherever

I watched as Ikkakumon smashed into the huge digimon. Kabuterimon then quickly delivered an electroshocker to the fallen foe before it could shove its attackers away. The battle was really heating up I thought as I watched. There was no space left in my mind except to watch the digimon fight. I quickly glanced over at Sora and Izzy and they too where equally absorbed in the fight. "Come on guys your doing it!" I felt compelled to say to give them some type of support. Their foe was like none we had ever seen.
"What is that thing?" Sora asked. The giant creature swung it's tail at Ikkakumon who dodged it barely, but the tail hit my car and sent it flying towards us.
"AAAH My car!" was all I could scream as the others yanked me out of the way. My feet decided they where going to quit on me as I sank to the ground and looked at the now smoking wreckage.
"It looks like someone pieced together parts of other digimon to make it." Izzy said trying to answer Sora's earlier question.
"My car." I whispered before turning back to the fight. I heard Ikkakumon's harpoon torpedoes find home in the monster's side keeping it form getting up.
"Let's get this over with." Kabuterimon said pounding the creature with another electro shocker before it swatted at him tossing him toward us.
"Kabuterimon!" Izzy said
"Don't worry it takes more then that to get me out coach." The giant beetle said hoisting itself up. Izzy had breathed a visible sigh of relief.
"The fog is coming closer." Sora said watching the area behind the monster and Ikkakumon.
"Do you think you guys can digivolve again?" Izzy asked I turned back to Ikkakumon and watched him fight in a battle that was obviously not entirely in his favor.
"Yeah!" Kabuterimon said before beginning to digivolve.
"Ikkakumon! Digivolve." I shouted as he nearly got hit again.
"Sure Joe." He said backing up farther away as the fog came towards them.
"Come on guys we have to get back farther." I said being the one to drag them this time.
"It's almost like that fog is alive." Sora whispered.
We all watched as MegaKabuterimon and Zudomon began double teaming the giant digimon. After a crippling blast from MegaKabuterimon, Zudomon finished the creature with his Tolkein's Hammer turning the enemy to dust as the Fog began wrapping itself around us.
Tentomon and Gomomon appeared out of the fog as all of us jumped up and shouted with joy. Hugging my digimon I was so trilled we had won, that is until Sora pointed out that my car had been destroyed and we now had to walk.


The Digital World -The Continent Server

Michael had been trying to push the girls through the pyramid quickly but that wasn't happening. They both where afraid of the dark, unfortunately in here it wasn't getting any lighter.
"It's going to be okay girls really." He said as their grips tightened on his pants legs. Betamon just laughed as Michael sighed in frustration. It wasn't too bad. Just dark.
He just knew they really had to hurry. The gates where closed by force and where now very unstable. They where getting more unstable by the minute. Gennai had told him and Mimi that they had only a few days or hours to stabilize them. Or there would be a total collapse. Gennai said him and the others where doing all they could, but it would take the digivices that the Mimi, the kids and him had in order to stabilize them.
If they didn't. Well the digital world would be fine. But that's the only good part. The rest, Michael choose not to think about that actually.
"What's that noise?" Daisy asked in a whisper as she jumped and began to whirl around trying to see in the dark.
"I didn't hear anything." Robinmon said fluttering up from her perch on Daisy's head.
"You're being paranoid." Kaoru said as she looked around frantically also. Michael could tell she didn't believe what she had said.
"Shhhhh...." He said trying to hear.
~Silence~
"Nothing. Maybe just the pyramid settling." He said, trying to make her feel better. Momoko was never afraid of the dark, so he didn't really know what to do. He some times thought Mimi was, but he really couldn't tell sometime. Boy he sure missed home now.
"Yea! Just the pyramid settling." Robinmon said as Daisy began to hug her.
"umm... Okay" she said moving forward again, but looking completely unconvinced.
Yep, Michael thought, this is going to be a long day. He pushed the girls forward as he watched the shadows around them dance and move in the torch light. But not all that movement was due to the torch light. Boy he really missed home, he would have been happy with someone else's home at that moment.


Wherever

Ken and I had just sat back in the elevator and sighed as we felt it jerk into motion. It was one of the most comforting motions I felt in a long time. "Funny how the simplest things can be conforting sometimes." Ken remarked echoing my own sentiment. I nodded in agreement.
I am the youngest of the digidestine and the only one that hasn't gotten married yet. I have a girlfriend but I just am not sure I am ready to get married. I am after all still working on a degree. And collage seemed like a time to spend studying and being young. Well at least that's what others tell me. I like Azura enough, well that is an understatement I really do love her.
The elevator jerked and brought me out of my thoughts. What a time to zone out. I thought to myself as I tried to remain on my feet. Ken looked at the buttons before looking at me in surprise. We weren't at out floor.
"Why did the elevator stop?" Wormon asked.
"Maybe it needed a rest." Armodillomon said
Ken began pushing the buttons.
Nothing was happening.
"Maybe we should try the phone." I said opening the panel below the buttons. Inside was the red emergency phone that had been installed in case of an emergency. This was definitely an emergency I thought. I picked it up and tried to ring downstairs. I didn't know whom I was expecting to pick it up really. I was just hoping I would get luck and one of the others would.
~Ring~
I was hoping I'd get very lucky.
~Ring~
I was praying.
~Ring~
Ken was looking at me wide eyed.
~Ring~
~Click~ Someone had picked up the receiver on the otherside. "Hello who's there? Anyone?" I shouted into the phone.
"Hehe welcome to the ride." A guttural voice answered on the otherside. I could feel the hairs stand up on the back of my neck from the strange and horrifying sound of its laughter. I slammed the phone down.
"Wrong number." I said at to the others as they gave me a surprised look. That is when the elevator slammed into motion knocking us off our feet. It began zooming up at an unbelievable speed. When it jerked to a stop. Ken looked at me.
"Wrong number!?" he asked frantically trying to get to his feet. Before that could happen the elevator slammed into motion again knocking Ken back down. This time the elevator zoomed down at a dizzying speed.
"I'm gonna be sick!" Wormon said as Ken got off him.
"I want off!" Armodillomon said looking at me.
