"Davis! What does he mean, Eggs? What is going on?!" Veemon pleaded, fearing, and with good reason, that Davis was doing something foolish.
"Its nothing, He just wants a few Digi-eggs in return for a power boost." Davis said as if he were trading bottle caps.
"Digi-eggs?! Davis, you can't give him those!" Veemon exclaimed, shocked at how calmly Davis was doing something so dangerous.
"My dear reptile, it is only three hunks of metal. Can they be THAT valuable?" Chaotimon inquired, intentionally putting a condescending tone to his voice.
"Then why do YOU want them so badly?" Veemon retorted, in a failed Perry Mason impression.
"I merely wish to study the crests, for purely archeological purposes, If your 'partner' does not wish to give them to me, he does not have to."
"See Veemon, There is nothing to worry about." Davis said, trying to calm his partner, but Veemon still was not completely convinced, "I guess, but which ones does he want?"
Almost before Veemon finished his question, Chaotimon responded, "Hope, Light and Miracles."
"But Hope and Light belong to T.K. and Kari." Veemon protested.
Davis nodded, "He DOES have a point, Its not gonna be easy to get their Digi-eggs."
"Simple. With the power I'll give you, it will be no time before you obtain them." Chaotimon explained coldly.
Davis nodded again and pulled out the golden Digi-egg of Miracles. "Consider THIS a down payment." He said, handing the egg to Chaotimon.
"Very well, and now for my end of the bargain," Chaotimon grinned wickedly, placing a hand on Davis' head, "POWER; Not only for vengeance but for DOMINATION!" Veemon looked on in horror s Davis was engulfed in black flames WHILE he was still Veemon, for as the flames about Davis subsided, they surrounded the blue lizard, charring him black to the soul. Thus was DeVeemon born.
"Nice look partner." Davis said, though physically HE remained unchanged unlike his digimon, "NOW we bide our time." Chaotimon laughed maniacally as he vanished into the now clearing fog, "Farewell Davis, you know how to reach me..."
---IZZY'S HOUSE---
"And they've been missing ever since." Izzy finished, as he told Veteran DigiDestined and new alike, the events of the past week.
"Any reports from the Digital World?" Asked Tai, former team leader.
"Jijimon said that he saw a pile of rocks against a cliff-side and that the inscription next to it had Ken's name and the crest of kindness." Answered Yolei, clutching Poyomon tightly, "Do you think...?"
"Let's not think about that until we know for sure. I say that we patrol the Digital World in groups of..." T.K. started until Kari cut him off, "You mean like DAVIS wanted to do a week ago?!" Tears already welling up in her eyes, though she tried to hide them in the back of Gatomon's head.
"W-well I-uh erh that is..." stuttered T.K., unable to justify the situation but finally managing a confession, "Yes, and if I had listened THEN, maybe he and Ken would still be here..."
"Don't blame yourself, we ALL made fun of Davis and failed to take him seriously." Young Cody stated stoically, being ever the voice of reason.
"All except Kari, Ken and Tai!" Squeaked tiny Upamon from atop Cody's head.
"That is only because Kari is too nice to be that cruel and Davis reminded me of myself at that age," Tai said, placing a hand on Kari's shoulder, "And Davis was the first to believe in Ken."
"Still, we have to find them." Said Mimi, the strawberry blonde, visiting from America, "Even THOSE two can't go missing for this long without something being wrong."
"Okay. Cody, Joe, Tai and I will scan the coasts and ocean; Kari, you take Mimi, Sora and Yolei to check the interior; Izzy, you and Matt stay here as backup. Any questions?"
"Got it." Said the group in unison as T.K. opened the Digiport.
"Let's go save our friends!" T.K. yelled as everyone but Matt and Izzy vanished.
---FILE ISLAND, NORTH COAST---
"See anything down there Cody?" T.K. asked over the D-Terminal, from atop Pegasusmon.
"Not yet, you see anything Submarimon?" Cody answered, looking to his partner.
"Nothing but rocks, fish and Ikkakumon's underside." Replied the aquatic digimon.
"Nothing here." Reported Ikkakumon from the surface, "How about you War Greymon? Any clues on the beach?"
"No, Tai and I haven't found any sign of Ken OR Davis."
"Okay, Let's contact the others and pack it in." sighed T.K. who was STILL blaming himself for his teammates' disappearances.
"Okay, but let me check this cave. You guys go ahead; we'll catch up later." Tai called out, pointing to a half-submerged opening.
"Its nothing, He just wants a few Digi-eggs in return for a power boost." Davis said as if he were trading bottle caps.
