Season 1: Dawning of the Chosen Ones, Chapter Two
A scream suddenly echoed throughout the forest and the remaining seven digidestined all heard it. But Taichi was the one most affected. "Hikari! That was her! We got to find her!" Taichi exclaimed as he dashes off in the direction of her scream followed by Koromon. Sora and Mimi blinked once before they rushed after him.
Takeru stopped playing with Tokomon and looked up. "That was Hikari! Yamato I think she's in trouble." Takeru spoke suddenly. Yamato stopped leaning against the tree and came over with Tsunomon in tow. He saw a worried look on his brother's face.
"You sure about that bro?" Yamato asked.
"I'm sure Yamato! Let's go Tokomon!" Takeru answered as he and Tokomon took off in the direction of Hikari's scream. Yamato hurried after him to make sure nothing happened to his brother.
Hikari's scream startled Koushirou from his typing. "Logic says that was Hikari. But why would she scream unless… Jyou she needs our help!" Koushirou said.
"That was Hikari?! How did you figure that out Koushirou?" Jyou stated in disbelief.
"Simple logic Jyou. It had to been Hikari. We need to find the others." Koushirou answered, packing his trusty laptop away in his pack and motioned for Motimon to follow him. Jyou stared in the direction that Koushirou had left and sighed.
"Why do these things happen to me?" Jyou muttered as he followed the computer genius.
Unknowingly, the three separate groups of digidestined were heading straight for each other. Taichi, Sora, Mimi were coming in from the west, Yamato & Takeru came from the east and Koushirou & Jyou came from the south. All at once all seven of them banged into each other.
"Taichi get off of me!"
"How can I Sora when someone else on me!"
"You're crushing me! Get off me you two!!"
"Who did that!?"
"I will have a major headache after this."
"You are crushing my laptop!!!"
"This is fun."
Their digimon stared at their partners and wondered why there were like that... After a few moments the seven digidestined untangled themselves and looked at one another.
Taichi adjusted his goggles back to their proper spot.
Sora fixed her helmet on her head so that it was sitting comfortably.
Mimi straightened her cowboy hat and brushed herself off.
Jyou adjusted his glasses on his face so they fit properly.
Koushirou checked to make sure that his faithful laptop was still intact.
Yamato checked to make Takeru was all right.
Takeru wondered what just happened.
"I guess we don't have to look for everyone now." Sora said finally.
"Yes, but we all must have heard Hikari's scream otherwise we would not have ran into each other." Koushirou stated. He saw six nods.
"That's right! We got to find my sister guys! She may be hurt or something!" Taichi exclaims, starts to head in a direction, but Yamato stops him.
"Where are you going Taichi? You can't just head off by yourself!" Yamato said. Taichi jerks from his grip and glares at him.
"What if that was Takeru out there? What would you do?" Taichi says in response. Yamato doesn't reply because he would do the same thing.
"Enough of this you two! We need to stay as a group and find Hikari. Koushirou are we close to where Hikari screamed?" Sora said.
Koushirou remembered what direction he and Jyou came from and figured the others came from the other directions. *Let's see… If Jyou & I came from the south, it looks like maybe Taichi & his group came from the west and Yamato's from the east. That means that Hikari's scream came from the north.*
"Prodigious! Hikari's scream came from the north of our current position. We shouldn't need to go too far in that direction." Koushirou spoke.
"Way to go Koushirou! Alright then let's go!" Taichi says as he starts to go north. The rest of the digidestined start to follow him.
"Whoa what a second. Who died and made you leader Taichi?" Yamato interjects.
Taichi stops and turns to meet the fierce gaze of Yamato. "Who says that you are the leader Yamato? I mean everyone just started following me. Including yourself."
"Sure Taichi. Whatever." Yamato replies, shoves his hands into his jeans pockets, and walks along with Takeru.
The seven digidestined came upon a clearing not too many yards away from their previous spot. Taichi did not see any of sign of Hikari. Koromon bounced over to take a look around the clearing in the forest and stopped when he thought he sensed something.
"Taichi! I think I sense something here. It feels dark." Koromon yelled suddenly. Taichi and the others rushed over to Koromon. Motimon, Pukamon, Tanemon, Yokomon, Tokomon, and Tsunomon sniffed the ground where Koromon was referring to. After a moment, the six in-training digimon agreed with Koromon.
"That can mean only thing Taichi." Koushirou said.
Taichi had a feeling he wasn't going to like what Koushirou was going to tell him. "What?" Taichi asked.
"It means Hikari has been captured." Koushirou replied.
Hikari found herself dumped on the cold floor and stood up. She looked around at her surroundings. Not much to look at, though it did seem to be darkness around. Hikari then looked for her partner and found her on the ground next to her. "Plotmon please wake up! Be alright!" Hikari cried softly as she knelt down. Plotmon blinked her blue eyes open and saw the worried look of her partner.
"I'll be alright Hikari. Now where we?" Plotmon answered.
"You are in my lair." a cold voice responded. Hikari and Plotmon turned to find the stern face of Devimon.
"It's you again. What do you want with me?" Hikari said. A soft chuckle erupted from Devimon's lips.
"You will be the bait for those other digibrats. Although it will be a while before they arrive at the mansion." Devimon replied.
Hikari remembered him mentioning that before he captured her. But what did he mean by a while? "What do mean a while?" she asked.
"You'll see little one." Devimon spoke softly.
Taichi felt his heart drop to the ground and he clenched his fists tightly. Sora saw the angry expression on his face and went over to him.
"Taichi, don't worry we will find your sister." Sora assured. Taichi's eyes softened a bit and he nodded.
"I know. It's just that I feel responsible for her. Alright let's--- Taichi stopped talking as a breeze blew against him. "What was that?!" he exclaimed.
The others looked up at the sky. Suddenly the trees parted to reveal a Kwangumon heading for them. "It's that big bug again!" Mimi screeched.
"Run!" Taichi yelled. The team of digidestined ran off with their partners in tow. Jyou debuted whether or not to look over his shoulder to see if the giant bug was still following them. He took a glance over his shoulder and wished he hadn't. The giant bug was still coming after them.
"Why did I look? Why did I even bother to do that?!" Jyou practically cried out.
The digidestined came upon a clearing and stopped to rest there for a moment.
"Did we lose that bug?" Sora asked.
"Man I hope so." Yamato said.
A rustle through the trees interrupted the digidestineds' thoughts and suddenly the trees parted. Kwangumon hovered there, waiting.
"I knew it! I knew that bug had not left us alone!" Jyou exclaimed.
"I know what to do." Koromon stated, leaving Taichi's side and heading for the digimon.
Taichi blinked when his partner left his side and his eyes widened as Koromon was heading for the enemy. "Koromon, what are you doing?! Are you nuts!?" he cried.
"Nope." Koromon replied.
One by one, the other digimon joined Koromon and formed a line.
"Yokomon! What are you doing?!" Sora exclaimed.
"Tokomon come back!" Takeru cried.
"Motimon!" Koushirou yelled.
"Tsunomon!" Yamato cried.
"Tanemon, don't do it!" Mimi exclaimed.
"Pukamon!" Jyou cried.
The seven in-training digimon ignored their pleas from their partners and looked determined to protect them. Taichi looked in horror that they were about to fight this monster and knew they did not stand a chance.
"We have to help them! Let's go!" Taichi cried, rushing forward.
The seven digidestined took only a few steps when seven beams of light struck their digimon. They stopped in awe and did not notice their digivices glowing…
