Damn that last chapter blew goats! Why is it that things always seem cooler in your head then when you put it down in words? I'm sure that how to make it at lest a little better will come to me some time in the next few chapters and I'll do one of my revisions on it, at lest I hope I will.

My guess is the biggest problem was the fact that both Joe and Michael were never really developed all that well in the US version of the show, I like both of them but they aren't me in any way so I've got a hard time writing them... I just need the tapes or something so I can get the feel for the characters again. They are a little to idealized in my head now adays I think...

Now I've got to work on the brains... Izzy and Willis god help me, I'm bad but not nearly THAT bad... Plus I need to do Cody and that is going to take some doing, that boy just seems a little too... cold... I guess would be the word. Then I've got Yoli trying to get her feelings in focus and Ken's emotional scars and then get Travis back in here as well as getting to where exactly the digimon have been this whole time...

This is either going to be a heck of a lot of fun, or its going to blow up in my face. Either way I hope I'm keeping you entertained. -Flameraven

I DO own Digimon, and some ocean front property in Arizona as well as the Golden Gate bridge and all the gold in California so there!

Chapter 4

Three pairs of eyes watched the soap opera that was the lives of the other digidestined with three completely different points of view.

Izzy the eldest owner of a pair of toughs eyes sighed, wishing people were as easy to understand as computers.

Cody the younger owner of the other set of brown eyes looked on in fascination as most of it went right over his head.

Willis' blue eyes took it all in, he was the most mature of the three observers even if he was the smartest, his relationships with people were much more in-depth then the other two.

Willis shock his head and starred off towards where Travis had left, his old leader never lost his cool like that and he began to wander just what demons one who had lived nearly half his life in the digital world would have been forced to face in that fog.

It was Cody who discovered the missing digimon, as he had done what he normally did and had tried to ask Armadillomon a question about what everyone was so upset about when he found that his friend wasn't even there.

By this time only himself, Willis, and Davis seemed to be in any condition to do anything about there digimon's disappearance left in the clearing. Izzy had a funny expression on his face as he stood there after Mimi had left him. standing dazed ever sense she gave him a kiss on his cheek before making her escape, that was something the Cody still didn't quite understand. And Ken and Yoli seemed to be bit distracted.

Now this wasn't a good thing, without their digimon they had almost no protection in the digital world as it seemed only Travis had somehow managed to get a weapon. Izzy was forced to theorize that it had something to do with his crest being so dark, and he hoped it wasn't something similar to Ken's dark digivice.

The more he thought of that connection the more it seemed to fit, Travis' digimon had a demon as its champion level and then had a corrupted angel type as its Ultimate level, he shuddered to think what its Mega might be. Ken's digimon was a virus type as well, the connection was there he was about to voice his opinion when Willis beat him to it.

*******

Willis thought back to what he had seen. Travis had said that there had only been the four of them the first time and he had never known his leader to lie, but there was something else, something that he just couldn't seem to remember.

"Izzy, do you remember how many kids were in the legend?"

Caught totally off guard by a question so far away from the one that he himself was going to ask Izzy started for a moment before opening his mouth to answer, only to be cut off by Tentomon.

"There were five... oh. Where is she?" now by this time Izzy was getting a bit annoyed that no one was letting him talk so before anything else could happen he simply demanded where his partner had been.

*******

Willis stood there in shock as Izzy and his digimon talked. She... Tentomon had said *She* why couldn't he remember! He closed his blue eyes, trying to focus on the past, the past before the virus, before Diaboromon.

He was almost there, he could remember a older dark-haired girl... She was like him, her crest causing pain... no not pain, Death... She was close to Travis, he protected her, opened up to her more then he did for the rest of us... But she was, gone... The last battle she had tried to stop Travis from... "Sara!"

*******

Yoli was caught off guard by both Willis outburst, Ken's sudden stiffening and Terriormon's falling off of Willis' head on top of his brother Lopmon. As well as Hawkmon's polite chuckling. What a minuet Hawkmon?

"Where have you been?!?" She yelled, only to have it over ridden by Ken's gasp of "Sara?" she completely ignored here digimon's response as a sudden fit of jealousy swamped her, the way he said that name. she had mente something to him, something important.

*******

Ken had been sobbing, he had thought that he had finally gotten over this. That he had finally faced this when MaloMyotismon had hit him with his crimson mist. But that fog, that fog had made him relive everything as a spectator who could do nothing but yell at his younger self as it made a mockery of all that had stood for and now stands for.

He was undeserving of love, of compassion, he had caused nothing but pain in his life. First his brother, then the digimon he enslaved. He didn't deserve friends or love and yet... yet he had Davis and her...

She was holding onto him, whispering soothing nothings into his ear, he couldn't understand it. He may be a genius but the actions of people were still incomprehensible to him. Why? why would she have anything to do with him? He was a monster, a monster who almost destroyed two worlds with his arrogance.

And yet she held him, soothed him. Cared for him like only one person had ever done before... That caught him off guard, before the seed, before Sam... his mother had all but ignored him, and after he hadn't cared, so who could have cared for him?

That was when he heard Willis say a name, a name he knew, a name that he had repressed deep within himself.... "Sara."

He felt Yoli stiffen next to him, but he didn't have the time to figure out why, he turned to his old partner, his old... friend... yes they had been friends, both of them and been very lowly for two completely different reasons and as such had become very close during there time together in the digital world.

His eyes locked with Willis and then as one they both looked towards were Travis had left. And as one they stated, "No wonder he never came back".

*******

Izzy, Yoli and Cody and now Davis were all now very confused by there friends odd behavior as they too looked the way the two older digidestined were looked at, almost expecting someone to appear out of nowhere or something. Finally it was Yoli who got fed up with this and demanded to know just what the heck they were talking about.

Willis and Ken looked at each other and then at the irate girl in front of them before side-stepping the question and asking there digimon where they had been. Tentomon gave a much put upon sigh and stated that this was going to be the last time he said this before launching into his story once again.

*******

Somewhere else in the digital world and young man regains conciseness and the first the he is made aware of is the pain. His brain seemed to be doing the damnedest to get out the back of his head, he groaned wishing for the oblivion of sleep to clam him once again, but knowing that it wasn't going to happen he opened his light blue eyes, only to find himself staring into two deep blue eyes less then an inch away from his face. And with that he promptly screamed.
