Mimi ran down the hall or at least as fast as she could with Izzy leaning heavily on her shoulder. Izzy was still only semi-conscious from Puppetmon's attack. Mimi kept running, not paying any attention where she was going and collided with something hard. They both fell down, the sharp jolt knocking Izzy awake. "What happened?" Izzy asked, rubbing his head.
Mimi grabbed Izzy's hand and helped him up. "Puppetmon knocked you out, we were running and we ran into that" Mimi stopped when she looked straight up into the lording form of Devimon.
"Did I interrupt your escape?" Devimon questioned with a smirk in his voice. His gaze turned to Izzy, and the large cut bleeding from his forehead. "Are you hurt Izzy? Will you be all right?" Mimi looked at Devimon with shock, was he actually concerned about Izzy's welfare? This maniac tried to kill them all on File Island.
"I contemplate so." Izzy rubbed his forehead.
"That is good, I will have that fool Puppetmon punished for hurting you. Now you two come with me." Devimon motioned them to follow.
"Listen you." Mimi pointed at Devimon. "We're leaving, and there's nothing you can do to stop us. You may not believe it, but my friend Izzy here has the power to wipe you off the face of the digiworld."
Devimon chuckled. "I am afraid I can't allow that."
"You asked for it, Izzy use your powers. This creepazoid is no where near as tough as Puppetmon." Mimi stepped behind Izzy.
Izzy raised his shaking hand. "Please step aside." He almost added father, but didn't. He didn't want anyone else to know that fact yet.
"You know I can't. If you want to get by, you'll have to delete me." Devimon threw his hands wide, as if to invite Izzy to strike him.
Izzy hand was shaking violently now. "Izzy come on! Delete him. That nutball in the bad clothes tried to kill us, remember?!"
Devimon took another step forward, allowing Izzy's hand to rest on his stomach. "Strike at me, prove you are evil, a worthy prodigy to follow in my footsteps."
Izzy eyes where filled with tears. Devimon placed his hand on his arm and gently lowered his hand. Devimon placed his other hand on his shoulder. "I knew you wouldn't, you are constantly at war with you're good and evil side. It must be tiring." Devimon waved his other hand in front of Izzy's face. "So tiring." Izzy's eyes closed as Devimon's hypnotic voice sent him to a deep trance. He fell limp into Devimon's grip. Devimon gently picked up Izzy and tucked him under his shoulder.
"IZZY! Wake up!" Mimi shouted.
Devimon looked up at Mimi. "You can just be silent. Children should be seen and not heard. Come to think of it, let's eliminate the seen part as well." Devimon wasn't nearly as gentle with Mimi. He fired a blast of energy, and a black sphere wrapped around Mimi's head. The attack didn't hurt Mimi at first, until she began to run out of air. Mimi tried to claw at the energy sphere around her head, until she passed out onto the ground. Devimon's form reaching down was the last thing she saw before darkness overtook her.
Izzy woke up in a cell. He tried to rub his head, but found he couldn't move his arm. He looked around and found himself chained by his arms up against a wall. On each of his arms were two bracelets, identical to the ones he had on him before. "They are taking ample precautions this time." He looked around the cell, and saw Mimi lying in front of him. "Mimi, wake up!"
Mimi got to her hands and knees. "Whoooaaaaa." She shook her head.
"Are you injured?" Izzy asked.
"You idiot!" Mimi got up and slapped him across the face.
"You're fine." Izzy mumbled. He tried to rub his cheek, but the chains held him in place. "What was that for?"
"Devimon nearly killed me and you didn't lift a finger. He took my digivice, and now where screwed!" Mimi shouted inches away from his face enraged. "Why didn't you delete him when you had a chance?"
Izzy couldn't tell her the truth, that Devimon was his father. "I don't assassinate." It was the best excuse he could come up with.
"I saw you fight Puppetmon with no problem. What is it with you and Devimon? Don't treat meet like some brain dead moron!" Mimi stomped her foot.
"What kind of moron should I regard you as?" Izzy asked coolly.
"You insensitive creep!"
"Whiny princess!"
"Computer geek!"
"Stuck up witch!"
They continued shouting insults at one another. They where both so occupied they didn't notice the crests turning black. At almost the same time, the anti-crests took control of the two of them. Izzy stopped arguing, in fact he couldn't even remember why he was arguing. Mimi, on the other hand simply lost all her positive emotions. Izzy was chained out by his arms in front of her. She was still angry with him for getting her captured, but that was in the past. She noticed Izzy had stopped yelling at her as well. In fact, he seemed to have a far away glaze in his eyes. "I feel sleepy..." he said as he passed out from the after effects of Devimons hypnosis and Puppetmon's attack.
"Damn it!" said Mimi as he nodded off. Now she had all this anger and no where to put it. Finally she curled up in the corner and went to sleep herself.
The cell door swung open several hours later after the effects of the crests wore off. Izzy already was staring at the door, but that was only because that was how he was chained. Devimon walked into the cell. "I was told to gather you in the main laboratory. We are almost ready for the final step."
"Devimon, don't do this!" Izzy pleaded.
"It's not too late, Izzy," Devimon stood face to face with Izzy. "You can still join us. You would be invaluable."
"Devimon, you know me. You know I could never join your army." Devimon shook his head at Izzy's answer.
"What are you two talking about?" Mimi screamed. "Geez, I swear you to are family the way you are arguing." Devimon and Izzy both stared at her as the light went on in Mimi's head. "But how?" Mimi choked out.
"A long story. One which does not concern you." Devimon turned back to Izzy. "Do not be foolish, my son."
"You are the foolish one." Izzy announced. "What do you think will happen to me if I don't join you? I'll be killed along with all my friends. I know their fate will be my own."
Mimi couldn't believe it, but she swore Devimon actually stuttered and looked nervous. "Join us, Izzy." Devimon finally announced.
"Never." Izzy replied defiantly.
Another surprise hit Mimi as Devimon actually looked sad at Izzy's answer. "Then I can't help you. You've sealed you fate." Devimon then wordlessly removed Izzy and Mimi, and marched them to the main lab.
Mimi grabbed Izzy's hand and helped him up. "Puppetmon knocked you out, we were running and we ran into that" Mimi stopped when she looked straight up into the lording form of Devimon.
