Notes : Not much new here…so without further ado…enjoy chapter three….
1 Candles in the wind
Chapter three – Hero
Matt picked the grains of sand out of his hair, three sandstorms in a row had to be some sort of freak record. It was almost like someone was controlling the wind. He looked ahead at the base that faced him. His eyes narrowed. Soon he would be face to face with the murderer of his brother, none other than Ken Ichijouji.
His revenge had to be plotted carefully, he wanted Ken to suffer and feel pain.
Matt was starting to wish he'd brought Gabumon with him. In his anger, Matt had forgotten that the base would be guarded and that Ken probably had hundreds of Digimon holed up in there waiting to attack.
Matt suddenly spotted two shapes travelling towards him quickly. His breath caught in his chest as he realised the shapes were in fact Monochromon and that they weren't heading towards him for a friendly chat.
Matt knew he was hopelessly weak against them on his own, so he turned around and fled, vowing to return when he had his Digimon partner by his side.

"Master, the digidestined boy has fled" Wormmon scuttled into the room. Ken glared at the screen. He had seen the young blonde arrive and had been watching him with great interest.
"So he should. All this has done has bought me more time to plan his fate". Ken muttered.
"Master……."
Ken whipped Wormmon hard.
"Shut up. I know what you're going to say, so don't bother". Ken shouted as the worm digimon fell back. "Now you get out of here now" Ken yelled. Wormmon picked himself up, and sadly, sloped out of the room.
Ken noticed the sudden change of temperature in the room, it had grown colder. He knew what this meant. Ken shuddered as he felt a hand come to rest on his shoulder.
"Mr Emperor" a voice said which sent a shiver down Ken's spine.
"S…s…sir" Ken stuttered out.
"Hmmm……don't tell me the brave and evil Digimon Emperor is scared" The voice mocked.
"Sir…..the..plan….."
The hand moved and touched Ken's cheek. Ken shivered.
"I know Kenny…..I know…..you've made me proud". The owner of the voice wore a twisted smile. "Now…then you know what you have to do to make me even prouder".
"Defeat…the,….d..d…digidestined".
"Well done…you learn fast. I like that..one more step Kenny and you'll be on the dark side. Just one more step and you'll be one of us". Ken shivered as he felt his master kiss the top of his head.
"Sir…….".
"No Kenny…..there is nothing left to say until you defeat them".
In a wisp of black smoke the figure had disappeared. Ken shuddered again. He wasn't in complete control.
**
Matt had walked around for what felt like years, he still hadn't got any signal on his Digivice as to the whereabouts of Gabumon, his faithful partner.
He sat down on a rock beside Seadramon's lake. He remembered how he and Gabumon had saved the others when Seadramon attacked on their first night in the Digital World.
"You're the best big brother". TK's words replayed in his brain, he remembered them so well. TK had been so proud of him and looked up to him ever since.
Matt sighed angrily as he felt hot tears come to his eyes. He roughly wiped them away. Promising to himself that he wouldn't cry.
He stared into the waters. They seemed to swirl around in an almost hypnotising manner. Matt frowned as he saw bubbles. He suddenly leapt back and stood up and something began to rise out of the water.
It resembled Seadramon, except for the fact that it had a rather large pair of wings. And it's mouth was made of metal.
"I am NeoSeadromon and I have been sent to collect you". The creature roared. Matt first instinct was to run away but he seemed rooted to the spot.
"Collect….m…m…me"? Matt stared at the creature hoping his fear wasn't showing. Digimon could smell fear and they didn't like it.
"Yes…you're requested by my master".
"Master"?
"The great Digimon Emperor"
Matt's eyes narrowed at the name.
"Then take me there. We have a score to settle". Matt's fear washed away and he climbed on the back of the creature. He didn't look back at the ground as the creature took flight. If he had then he would've seen his friends running towards the lake.
**
"MATT NO"! Tai yelled. He knew it was hopeless, his requests fell on deaf ears. They had followed Matt to the digiworld.
"Tai…..it's too late….but we know where he's gone" Kari touched her brother's shoulder.
"Where"? Tai turned to face his sister.
"Logically there's only one place he would go willingly, and that's the Digimon Emperor's base". Izzy interjected.
"Then we better haul ass there"! Tai replied.
"There's a problem with that". Joe pointed out.
"Oh yeah"? Tai challenged. "And what might that be"?
"The Digimon Emperor has like a million bases"! Davis interrupted.
"Or….for those of us who don't speak Davis, that means three" Yolei corrected.
"The ice base, the desert base and the mountain base" Cody answered.
"Then I think we should split into groups. If each group takes one base, we'll find out which one of them Matt has gone to. Then that group notifys the other two groups and we'll all meet at the correct base". Izzy explained.
"Sounds like a plan to me" Sora spoke up.
"Ok then…Um……Sora , Davis and Kari come with me". Tai ordered. "We'll take the desert base".
"Ok , then me, Mimi and Cody will take the Ice base" Joe decided.
"That leaves me and Yolei to take mountain base" Izzy finished. He looked over at the New digidestined's Digimon. "Gennai told me us older kids Digimon are all at his house. So we better get there, pick up the Digimon and split from there".
Tai nodded and, with a plan in their minds, they set off in the direction of Gennai's house.
**
Matt found himself locked in a cell. He remembered how when he had entered the base there were two digimon waiting to attack him. He'd been knocked out.
He put a hand up to the back of his head. It felt sore, he'd been hit hard there. He shakily stood up and walked towards the bars.
"YOU GET DOWN HERE NOW YOU COWARD" He yelled at the top of his voice.
"Naughty Digidestined, no need to shout". A voice mocked. "Nice of you to pop in for a visit". The Digimon Emperor walked up to the bars, he held his whip in his hand.
"Believe me it's not a social call…..I'm here for revenge". Matt growled.
"Oh really?…and what can YOU do without a digimon"? Ken asked and evil smile on his face.
Matt looked at the floor he hadn't planned on this, he didn't have any method of defense except his own strength.
"Unlike you , I don't hide behind Digimon and get them to my dirty work for me". Matt shot back.
Ken whipped out, the whip mostly hit the bars but it caught Matt's face. Matt sprang back, his cheek stinging.
"That hurt"? Ken mocked.
Matt stayed silent. He realised the full extent of his situation. He was locked up in the Digimon's Emperor's prison. No-one knew he was here and he didn't have Gabumon to protect him.
"I think I'll leave you to cool down then maybe you'll be more willing to talk". Ken smiled evilly.
"I'll never do anything for you!, ever"! Matt yelled as Ken turned away.
"Oh really"? Ken whipped out again, this time catching Matt's chest. "I think you will Matty, I think you will".
