Disclaimer :It's not that boring.

Mimi :I know, it's worse.

Ken :Wormmon got a cold in the icy part of the digital world when we were exploring yesterday.

Wormmon :Achoooo! Achoooooooo! Achooooooooooooooo!

Hawkmon :I don't want to catch that cold.

Palmon :I need some water for my roots.

Gomamon :I can give you some.

Palmon :Well then spray it on me!

Gomamon :O.k.

Gomamon used his "flying fishes" attack and had fired too much water.

Palmon :Poison Ivy!

Gomamon: Yow! It was only a joke.

Joe :Some day Gomamon, your jokes will backfire against you in the worst way you can imagine.

Gomamon :No.

Ch.9 : Fake Ken!

The digidestined woke up the next morning with their friends. Ken and Wormmon seemed perfectly normal. Same with everyone else.

"I'm starving!" Elecmon said.

"I'll catch some fish," Leomon said.

"I'll get some wood," Tentomon said.

"I'll get some of my snacks from my backpack," Yolie said.

"Yay! I love Yolie's snacks!" Veemon said

"Thanks Veemon," Yolie said.

"Do you have some chocolate in there?" Armadillomon said.

"Sure," Yolie replied.

For some reason, Ken and Wormmon had a horrible look in their eyes.

"Are you two o.k. Ken?"Sora asked.

"Yes, why wouldn't I!" Ken yelled.

Everyone looked at him in amazement.

"What did you just say Ken?" Davis asked.

"I mean, sure I'm alright," Ken said.

Everyone had a suspicious look towards Ken. Then they continued eating their meal. When the day was over everyone went to sleep except Leomon, Ken, and Wormmon. Leomon was keeping watch a couple yards away. While Ken and Wormmon were talking.

"We must get rid of them soon," Wormmon said.

"I know. I have a plan. We could lead them into a trap tomorrow around the afternoon," Ken said.

Leomon heard everything they said and he knew he must warn the digidestined. He was walking backwards then he stepped on a twig. Ken and Wormmon heard him and started to chase him. The digidestined were in the next clearing and he was almost there, but he had fell in a giant hole that Ken and Woormmon had made. When he fell he was knocked out. Ken and Wormmon laughed as he went unconscious. The next morning, everyone woke up, but no one could find Leomon.

"Leomon, Leomon!" Centarumon yelled out.

"Leomon, where are you!" Davis yelled.

"Leomon, come back please!" Cody yelled.

"We saw Leomon going on without us," Wormmon said.

"That doesn't seem like Leomon," Elecmon said.

"Leomon would do almost anything to protect us digidestined," Tai said.

"I don't understand what's must have been wrong with him," Kari said.

"I know where he went, come on, I know the way," Wormmon said.

Ken and Wormmon were leading the digidestined and their friends towards a cave.

"After you," Ken said.

Meanwhile with Ken………

"Where am I?" Ken asked himself.

"Ken!" Wormmon said.

"Wormmon!" Ken said.

"What happened Ken?" Wormmon asked.

"I don't know, but I do remember someone grabbing us and dropping us in this big hole," Ken replied.

"What's that Ken?!" Wormmon asked.

A shadow figure was just starting to wake up. It was tall and creepy-looking.

"You better digivolve!" Ken said.

"Wormmon, digivolve to…. Stingmon!"

Stingmon almost hit the creature, but it jumped over him and yelled for Stingmon to stop. The voice sounded familiar. It was Leomon!

"Sorry Leomon, we didn't know that was you," Stingmon said.

"Why are you saying sorry when you put me down here?" Leomon asked.

"We didn't put you down here. We were put down here by someone else," Ken said.

"Then, if you didn't put me down here then who did?" Leomon asked.

"We don't know," Stingmon said.

"Oh no. your friends are in danger!" Leomon said.

"What do you mean by that?" Ken said.

"Someone was talking last night about getting rid of your friends and they are going to do it today!" Leomon said.

"We've got to find them and help them!" Ken said.

"First let's get out of this hole," Leomon said.

Leomon jumped out of the hole, while Stingmon flew Ken and himself out of it. They were covering ground as fast as they could trying to find their friends.

Meanwhile with everyone else………

"Just around that corner is where Leomon is," Wormmon said.

"Good, because I'm tired," Mimi said.

When they got around the corner, some Monochromon and Parrotmon attacked.

"It's a trap!" Andromon said.

Ken fired a beam from his hand that froze the digidestined and the digimon. They could talk, but they couldn't move. The Parrotmon and Monochromon were taking their time to destroy the digidestined, because they wanted to see them in pain.

"Why did you do this Ken?" Davis asked.

"I'm not Ken. I'm Dark Ken!" Dark Ken said.

His eyes and body had dark and red energy glowing all around his body.

"We should have known," Centarumon said.

"I suspected something was wrong," Matt said.

The Monochromon and Parrotmon were closing in to attack and it was mere seconds until it would all be over when a Monochromon disintegrated.

"What just happened?" Dark Ken said.

"We just happened!" Ken said.

"Ken, it's you!" Davis said.

"Hey, everyone!" Ken said back.

"Spiking Strike!"

Stingmon slammed straight into a Parrotmon with his "Spiking Strike" attack and the Parrotmon blew up. Stingmon threw a Monochromon into the other Monochromon. Leomon was slashing at the Parrotmon with his sword. One of the Parrotmon hit Leomon in the back with his "Sonic Destroyer" attack. Leomon fell to the ground struggling to get up again, while some Monochromon are charging toward him. Stingmon quickly gets Leomon out of the way.

"We need to get the others free!" Leomon said.

After Leomon said that, Ken was fighting with Dark Ken. Ken gave Dark Ken a left hook and Dark Ken gave Ken a frenzy of kicks. Then Ken slammed Dark Ken into the cave wall. While they were fighting Leomon snuck up on Dark Ken and held him down. Then he destroyed him with his "Lion Sword" attack. Dark Ken split into digital information. The digidestined were free! Andromon used his "Lightning Blade" attack, Elecmon used his "Super Thunder Strike" attack, and Ogremon used his "Pummel Whack" attack. The three attacks whirled into a tornado beam and destroyed all the Parrotmon. Leomon used his "Fist Of The Beast King" attack and hit one part of the cave that collapsed on some of the Monochromon. Centarumon's "Solar Ray" attack covered three Monochromon up in the beam and they disintegrated in it. Digitamamon used his "Nightmare Syndrome" attack and destroyed the arms of the Monochromon and then the rest of their bodies.

"Dark Ken is finally gone," Stingmon said.

Just then another digimon jumped on Stingmon.

"It's DarkWormmon!" T.K. said.

"Without Dark Ken, you can't dark digivolve," Stingmon said.

"Oh on the contrary. I can digivolve!" DarkWormmon said.

"DarkWormmon, dark digivolve to…. VenomStingmon!"

"VenomStingmon, the evil form of Stingmon. The way to tell them apart is VenomStingmon is green and has red claws, while Stingmon is black and green all over. The red on VenomStingmon's claws is poisonous and his attacks are Venom Slash and Hyper Strike." Elecmon said.

"Venom Slash!"

VenomStingmon's attack had poisoned Stingmon and made him weaker by the minute.

"Oh no, Stingmon!" Ken said.

"Hyper Strike!"

"Spiking Strike!"

The two tips of their weapons held perfectly together from having force from each side. VenomStingmon kept using his "Hyper Strike" attack repeatedly against Stingmon. A light shot down from the sky towards Ken and about thirty seconds later, he has his crest on. The light from the crest shot onto Stingmon and energized him. Stingmon and VenomStingmon did one last duel attack!

"Spiking Strike!"

"Hyper Strike!"

The two attacks hit and only Stingmon was still standing after the slash they both had done. Stingmon de-digivolved to Wormmon.

"This evil digimon just won't quit until we're destroyed," Cody said.

"What ever he might have planned to beat us will not work!" T.K. said.

"He can never beat the digidestined!" Tai said as the digidestined continued walking.
