Kari ran through the forest as fast as she could. It wasn't until she turned around that she realized TK wasn't with her. She stopped, and started to scream. "TK where are you? TK!"
She stopped screaming when she heard something calling behind her. Her hopes brightened, but then she made out Gatomon's voice in the distance. "TK's taking a little trip right now, but he did say that he wanted you to join him."
Kari turned and started running again, tears in her eyes. She ran as fast as she could, looking behind her. Suddenly, she tripped, and fell down to her face. She looked up into Gatomon's grinning face. The feline had gotten in front of her and tripped her. "That was a fun game, my little mouse, but the game is over, my friend."
Even more tears welled up in Gatomon's eyes. "How could you? We were friends, Gatomon. You saved my life!"
Gatomon chuckled. "A good act, to say the least. My only friend has been power. Now get up, we have a long walk back to my lair." She laughed again, but it ended shortly when a tree branch collided with the back of her head, sending her head over heels into a bush.
Kari looked up and saw Matt above her, wielding the stick like a baseball bat. She looked up happily, but turned around to Gatomon's angry scream. A slice of her claws eradicated the bushes around her as she walked towards Matt and Kari. "Nice hit, but the only chance you had against me was to hit me from behind, and don't think I'll let you do that again."
Matt smiled at her. Gatomon cocked an eyebrow, shortly before a lightning bolt swerved from the sky, striking her back. She screamed again as her body made a trench in the earth. Matt smiled, "Looks like you where wrong, eh Tentomon?"
Tentomon flew down from the treetops. "Your plan worked perfectly Matt! Even Izzy could learn a thing or two from you about strategy." The two had been traveling together for sometime now. They where in the forest when they heard Gatomon and Kari's voice, so they laid in wait ready to strike.
Kari looked at the unmoving form of Gatomon. "Is she?" she started to cry.
"Of course not." Tentomon replied. "Her body would turn to atoms if she was deleted. She must just be knocked out."
"We should tie her up." Matt yanked some vines from the ground and walked over to Gatomon's slumped form. He gripped her paws and placed them together. Just before he could wrap her hands with the make shift rope, Gatomon's bright red eyes opened. "Peek-a-boo." She smiled, and brought her fists up under Matt's jaw. He fell to the ground, unconscious.
Gatomon jumped to her feet and eyed Tentomon. "Here's one more lesson on strategy. Even a cat can play possum."
"Kari, run!" Tentomon ordered. "I'll handle the cat."
Kari took of into the forest again. Gatomon shook her head. "That girl's always running. I can't believe she was chosen to be a digidestined."
"You aren't allowed to talk, traitor." Tentomon shook a talon at her.
"Enough talk." Gatomon leapt forward and tackled Tentomon, pinning him to the ground. While Gatomon was much stronger than he was, Tentomon realized that was only on the ground. He quickly beat his wings and shot up into the air, with Gatomon riding on his belly. He flew so fast Gatomon was completely disoriented. They where almost forty stories high when Gatomon regained her composure enough to back hand Tentomon's face. He managed to roll with the punch and turned over throwing Gatomon off. Tentomon flew beside her on the way down. "The fall won't hurt me, cats always land on their feet."
"I know, I just need a clear shot. Super shocker!" Lightning emitted from his back, but Gatomon twisted in mid-air avoiding the blast. She reached under her glove again and pulled out the all too familiar black gear. Just before Tentomon released another bolt, she hurled it at him, and it imbedded itself in his forehead as he screamed. Tentomon had come close enough so that she grabbed his front talons, and she landed gently on the ground using Tentomon as a parachute.
Brushing herself off, Gatomon turned towards the new version of Tentomon. "So, are you feeling any better?"
Tentomon flexed his arms. "Much."
Gatomon smiled as Tentomon tried to show off for her. "So there's absolutely no need for us to continue fighting, right?"
"Absolutely." The bug digimon walked up and placed a talon on her shoulder.
"Now be a good little bug, and pick up Matt for me. We can continue on to the castle."
Tentomon didn't need any more prodding. Flying over Matt, he placed his talons under his shoulders and picked him up. "Good." Gatomon replied. "I think that's about everything." Gatomon thought to herself for a moment. "Kari. I forgot about Kari." She stomped her paw, angry at herself for be distracted by Tentomon. A soldier should not let herself be distracted like this. She calmed down quickly though. Kari was no threat compared to Matt and Tentomon, she had no digimon. Yes, Kari could be hunted down at her leisure. She motioned to Tentomon with a single claw, "Come on Tentomon, back to the castle. I have work to do."
She stopped screaming when she heard something calling behind her. Her hopes brightened, but then she made out Gatomon's voice in the distance. "TK's taking a little trip right now, but he did say that he wanted you to join him."
