Sorry for taking so long with this chapter but I had the other story I just
put up running thorough my head so I was working on that. Plus my game cube
is working again and between that work and school I've had almost no time
to just sit down and write for fun.
I hate Sora and Tai fights, I really do. But it was the only way I could get them together like I prefer and still keep them in character from what they had become in 02. At lest from what I saw them as in 02.
To everybody reading this, thank you. And I hope you enjoy it for a long time to come.

Chapter 7.
Izzy blinked as his new D3 started talking to him. He really hadn't expected them to find a digimentel that fast. And that is was Ken's really surprised him. He would have thought it would have been Travis' first. Then Michael's. Following the pattern of that the weapons has shown up for their respective owners.
In light of this new development though he had to revise that hypothesis. Perhaps it would go in the opposite direction? The first of get there egg would be the last to get there weapon. He would have to wait and see if Willis was the next to find his.
He was still trying to figure out why Travis had brought them here. It was obvious that he knew much more the he was letting on. And if there was on thing that annoyed Izzy it was people purposely holding back useful information. He didn't understand why Travis would do something like that though.
The more information they had the better prepared they would be to face it. And the more data he could find to use against it. Everything had a weakness, the trick was finding it in time. He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to sort his thoughts and the next thing he knew he had walked right into a wall that hadn't been there just a moment before.
He heard giggling behind him and turned quickly. Only to come face to face with amethyst colored eyes, and sandy-blond hair. The girl in front of him smiled impishly before running off into the maze he had found himself in. Calling over her shoulder that if he wanted some answers he would have to find her...

Nikki lead the holder of knowledge on a marry chase of the better part of two hours. Reliability and sincerity had been looking for him, and only one of her illusions had finally made them leave the area enough for her to have a chance to talk to him undisturbed.
And that was all she really wanted. She had questions and suspicions she needed to see if he had answers for. Besides...
"I've got you. Now why did you bring me here?"
She smiled at that, it just happened the be the perfect set up for what she needed to say. She was after all supposed to be his enemy. One does have to keep up appearances after all.
"Just thought we should talk, you know. See if we could convince the other they are wrong and to come over to our side. The stereotypical cartoon and storybook thing."
He looked so confused by that it was unbelievable. Had he truly spent that much time behind his computer that he had never seen a show like that? She had no chouse but to laugh. It was funny in a sense.
And she hadn't been joking. She was going to give him a chance to join her side. She didn't have any delusions that he would take it, but the offer had to be made. She really didn't want to have to fight.
Besides, he was kind of cute.
"Its a standard theme in cartoons, one of the bad guys have has a change of heart because of something that one of the heroes says or does. I'm here to listen to your argument, and then make mine. Who knows I might get lucky."
*******
Izzy was a bit suppressed by that. The idea of switching sides in this war, or getting one of his opponents to change his, or her in this particular case, side was not something he had thought about.
The kids that came after him where the ones that had to deal with that with Ken. His team had only had to deal with evil digimon. But now, now he had some inkling about just why Travis had held off in telling them about just who and what they would face.
Had they known it was going to be other children there was a high likelihood that they would not have fought. But then there was what she said. The "good guys" in stories seem to get one of the "bad guys" so...
"You wish to join us?" he said it in all seriousness, but her response what to simply laugh. He decided to take that as a no. "Your statement of the good guys saying or doing something that made one from the opposite side change for the better, did infer that you were willing to make such a change."
"Oh?" came her response. "And are you so sure your one of the good guys in this conflict? Tell me something Mr. Izumi. I am imagination, is that evil?"
He shook his head, a bit perplexed by her argument. No imagination wasn't evil, but neither was knowledge, or so he thought...
"I'm glade we agree on that point. You my friend are much closer to being evil then I will ever be. Haven't you heard the old axiom, 'knowledge is power'? Of course you have, you're a well read young man aren't you?
"Then perhaps you've heard another old cliché..." Her eyes locked with his, seeming to bore into his very soul, leaving him bereft of any and all protection. As he stood there naked under her intense scrutiny, he was almost freighted of what she might see. It was then, only then, that she passed her judgement upon him before fading away and taking the maze he had been following her around in with her. One small sentence that made him question a number of things about his life.
"'Power corrupts.'"

Mimi and Joe had been looking for Izzy for the better part of an hour now. They had last seen him about an half hour ago running off in an odd direction. Finally deciding that he must have found something of interest and he would call when they needed him the once again set out looking for Michael's signal.
On their way they had received notice that both the digimentals of destiny and honor had been found, very surprising work for one day. Three new armor types, or so it was assumed. Also it seemed that Willis had found his weapon, 'the spear of destiny' a rather corny name in Mimi's opinion.
Now all the remained was Travis' egg and Ken's weapon. Well that and getting the team back together again to face what ever it was that had taken Travis and Patamon. Joe and Mimi's side quest had hit a rather nasty snag though.
Not only were they down a member but Michael's digivice wasn't giving off a steady signal. It seemed to be pulsing. Loosing and gaining strength sporadically. They headed towards were the signal was originating from, they picked up on Travis' as well. It was only moments after when they almost literally ran into two new teens.
The introductions were short sweet and savage. And in a matter of moments Togemon and Ikkakumon were both on the field facing off against two other champion level digimon. MoriShellmon and... Ogermon.
I hate Sora and Tai fights, I really do. But it was the only way I could get them together like I prefer and still keep them in character from what they had become in 02. At lest from what I saw them as in 02.
