Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon because if I did, I wouldn't waste my time
writing fanfics. The only thing that I own is the four new characters that I
made up. So please do not sue me! I have no money!

Author's notes: Jeez! You people give me a break! I've had homework since school
started and haven't had enough time to write lately! Don't go biting my head off!
(Now there's a nice thought! *shudders*) Anyway, I was planning on working on "The
Pain of Knowing the Truth" during the Christmas break but my Geography teacher
(real asshole!) decided to give a project over the break! I finally finished the dumb
thing so here ya go! And "Sora Fan Always" watch your mouth! ^_~ Just kidding!

Chapter 15: Enemy Revealed

"Oh, my head!" I groaned as I opened my eyes to the blinding lights above me. I brought my hands up to my head but found that
my goggles and bandanna were missing.

"It's about time you woke up," a voice said.

I turned my head to the direction of the voice to see Serge grinning smugly.

"I can't believe it," He began sarcastically. "The great Tyler Takenouchi taken down by two rookie leveled Digimon! For shame!"

"Serge my head hurts to much to deal with you right now," I replied. "Where am I?"

"Sick Bay." Serge answered. "Tai is in another room with Kari watching him."

"Is he okay?" I asked rising slowly supporting myself on my elbows.

"No better than you are," He replied. "You're probably going to be in bed for a few more days."

"Not if I have anything to say about it." I retorted getting up. "I'm going after the girls."

Serge quickly pushed me back down on the bed.

"Whoa man," Serge said. "You're in no condition to do a search and rescue."

"I'm fine!" I argued pushing his hands away only to get punched in the face.

"Stop being stupid," Serge shouted at me as I touched my cheek gingerly. "You can't help them in your condition! And besides, you
knew they were going to get kidnapped and your going to get them back, right?"

I looked at the ground and didn't reply.

"Right?" Serge repeated nervously.

No answer.

"Ty, buddy?"

"This wasn't suppose to happen." I whispered while shaking my head slowly.

"You're kidding, right?" He asked shakily. "Don't tell me Gennai left some parts out?"

"It's starting to look that way!" I replied angrily as I walked out of the door and slammed it behind me.

************************************************************************************************************************************

I stomped down the hall while Serge was frantically trying to calm me down.

"C'mon Tyler, chill!" He pleaded.

"Where's Gennai?" I asked furiously whipping around to look at Serge.

"Probably with Tai," Serge replied nervously.

Without responding, I continuing walking down the hall towards Max's room. When I got their, I pushed the door open violently. Sure
enough, Gennai was there but all of Tai's friends were crowded around his bed with sorrowful faces.

"Tai is in a very critical condition Tyler." Gennai stated before I could ask.

I walked away from the door towards Tai and saw how pale he was lying on his bed, eyes closed, and breathing quickly.

"What happened to him?" I asked while still looking at him from Gennai's side.

"After you both got hit and you fell unconscious, Tai continued fighting Mike and that kid he was with," Piximon explained. "Afterwards,
we found him sprawled on the ground completely knocked out."

"That's Tai for you," Kari began. "He rather die than let anything happen to Sora."

"That's because he loves her."

Everyone turned to Matt with surprised looks on their faces.

"Glad you finally noticed." Tai said groggily while sitting up with one hand resting on his forehead and the other on the mattress in an
effort to supporting himself. "Oh, my poor head!"

"Tai your all right!" Kari cried out while hugging her brother around his neck.

"Kari...you're choking...me," Tai managed to reply while getting the life squeezed out of him.

"Sorry." She replied sheepishly.

"Glad you're all right Kamiya." I said quietly while the others crowded around him.

"I'm assuming you wanted to talk to me?" Gennai asked.

"Yeah I did!" I replied harshly. "I don't recall you ever showing me that Gwen and Sora get kidnapped!"

"You don't recall because I never showed you that...and a few other things." He answered.

"Are you kidding me?!" I yelled getting everyone's attention. "What am I suppose to do if I have no clue what's going on?!"

"Like you use to: one step at a time," Gennai replied. "I had to omit a few things Tyler, otherwise who knows how much the future would
have changed!"

"Uh, guys," Tai began. "What's going on?"

************************************************************************************************************************************************

Down dark corridors, through a dungeon, we find a figure lying on the ground beginning to return to consciousness. Chains surrounded her
wrists and feet which were joined to the wall that she was leaning on.

"Where am I?" Gwen murmured while raising her head a bit.

"In my sanctuary." A voice answered.

"Who's there?! Show yourself!" She demanded.

"My, aren't we the bossy one?" a figure replied as he walked out of the shadows with a cape draped over him and a hood over his head concealing
his face.

"Let me go you jerk!" Gwen ordered as she ran towards the cloaked figure but stopped short when the chains stopped her from going any farther.

Suddenly, the figure gently took her chin in his hand and brought her closer to his face.

"Bossy but beautiful," he said softly making Gwen's eyes widen. "I always knew you would become the most gorgeous girl out of all the DigiDestined
women."

"Who are you? Your voice sounds familiar," Gwen asked.

"I'll give you a few hints," He whispered in her ear. "A cliff, a boy with a dagger, the land in ablaze...ringing any bells?"

"No, it can't be him..." Gwen said softly.

"Oh but it is," He replied as he lifted the hood off his head.

"Brian..."

*********************************************************************************************************************************

"What do you mean he didn't show you everything?!" Tai shouted.

"Exactly how it sounds," I replied rolling my eyes.

I was sitting in the conference room with Tai in a heated discussion, talking about how Gennai didn't show me exactly everything that happens. And
as you can already tell, Tai ain't to happy about it.

"What are we suppose to do now?" Tai asked smacking his head on the table. "Sora and Gwen are kidnapped and only God knows where they are."

"Don't worry about that," I began. "I already sent out two scouts to follow the single of Sora and Gwen's Digivice signals. Once they get back and
find out where the hell they are, then we will devise a plan and get them out, okay?"

"Yeah I guess so," Tai mumbled.

"Hey," I began as he looked up at me. "I'm just as worried about them as you are."

"I know,"

"Then relax." I told him.

Suddenly, Max walked in.

"Scouts are back Tyler," Max began. "They found them."

"Good,"

We both followed Max to the control room where the two scouts were sitting at a table with their Digimon, Aruraumon and Tapirmon.

"Tai, these are my best two scouts, Tank and Dozer." I explained.

He turned his head and gave me a funny look.

"Tank and Dozer?" Tai asked raising and eyebrow.

"Their nicknames fluff-head!" Tank answered. "Do you want me to demonstrate why they call me and my brother that?"

"No thanks!" Tai replied quickly taking the hint.

"What did you two find?" I asked shaking my head in amusement.

"Their in the badlands." Dozer answered.

"Where in the badlands?" I questioned.

"Beats me! We followed the signal there and then it stopped!" Dozer stated.

"Did you guys at least search the area?" I inquired.

"Of course!" Tank replied. "Nothing but sand for miles."

"That doesn't make any sense," Tai said.

"Whoever it is, they obviously don't want us to find them." I explained.

"So what are we suppose to do?" Tai asked.

"I don't know," I whispered. "Anyway, it's getting late. Let's get some sleep and figure it out in the morning."

They all agreed, well, except maybe Tai.

"But what if something happens to them?" Tai questioned as we walked down the hall.

"Tai, their is nothing we can do when it's pitch black outside!" I stated. "Get some sleep, and then in the morning, you and
I are going to go check it out, understand?"

"Yeah." He answered walking to Max's room.

"Sure you do," I thought.

**************************************************************************************************************************************

"Y'know, my friends are going to come after Sora and I ." Gwen stated.

"Exactly," Brain smiled. "You and Tyler's little sister are my ticket to luring him here."

"Why?"

"Don't you remember what he did to me?" Brian asked angrily. "Tyler nearly killed me!"

"It was an accident!" Gwen shouted at him. "Tyler wouldn't hurt a fly! He is the most kind-hearted guy I know!"

"Well, obviously he made an exception for me." Brain said hatefully.

"You have no clue how guilty he's felt ever since that day," Gwen said softly. "He doesn't even want to look at that sword anymore."

"Don't try making excuses up for him," Brian began. "I know how you feel about him."

"There's no denying how I feel about him, but what I'm saying is true, not excuses."

"Doesn't matter," Brian answered. "I have ulterior motives."

"How did you ever survive the fall off the cliff?" Gwen suddenly asked.

"You'll find out soon enough." He answered simply, and with that he left the cell leaving Gwen once again alone in the dark.

******************************************************************************************************************************************

"Tai why are we doing this for?" Agumon asked while yawning and rubbing his eyes.

Tai and Agumon were standing outside the house with a backpack and the sword that Tyler gave him. He was dressed in the outfit that Ty gave
him.

"Because I can't sleep while Sora is kidnapped. Who knows what that guy is doing to her right now?" Tai answered as he buckled the belt that held
his sword around his waist.

"Do you want me to Digivolve to MetalGreymon?" Agumon asked.

"Yeah, flying would be faster." Tai answered.

"You got it," Agumon replied.

"Agumon Digivolve to...Greymon!

Greymon Digivolve to...MetalGreymon!"

"Hope no one heard that." Tai said quietly.

"Everyone is asleep Tai," MetalGreymon stated. "No one probably did. Hop on!"

Tai was about to climb into MetalGreymon's hand when a voice cut through the air.

"Isn't it way past your bedtime Kamiya?!" I asked.

"Shoot!" Tai cursed quietly.

Tai turned around only to come face to face with a huge blue dragon. Tai looked up and saw Tyler standing on the dragon's head while casually leaning on one of the long horns coming out of it's head.

"Hi there." I grinned smugly.

"Is that Mushroomon?" Tai asked unbelievably.

"Was Mushroomon," I corrected. "Meet Aeroveedramon."

"Wow, I guess size does matter!" Tai exclaimed. Then he caught the sight of a sword strapped to Tyler's back and wearing black jeans instead of blue and a black vest but the same shirt. He was also wearing
red adventurer gloves with the fingers cut off, exposing his fingers. Not to mention, his goggles were back on but instead of wearing his red bandanna, he was wearing a black one with skulls on it.

"You're coming with me aren't you?"

"You think I'd let you have all the fun?" I asked with a grin. "I love Gwen just as much as you love Sora, Tai, but I have two people to be worried about. I can't sleep either."

"So you're coming?" Tai asked again.

"Yup! Get on MetalGreymon and will be outta hear faster that you can say Primary Village!" I replied.

And with that, the two Digimon flew into the sky towards the Badlands in search of Gwen and Sora.


A/N: Alright, you happy?!!!!!!! I'll put another chapter up sometime today. Hopefully....anywho, I'm thinking about writing another Digimon story but based on season three. It's basically going to be about Rika and her brother
that is my character...(can't you tell I love adding siblings to an only child...I know.. I have no life) It will be totally different than this trust me! I hate making fanfictions that are exactly the same as the ones I wrote
already. And Rika's brother is going to be older than her. I don't care if Rika's mom had her when she was 17...tis' the beauty of fanfiction! I get to do whatever the hell I want! ^_^ So what do think? Go for it or what? Tell me
in your reviews!
