A Second Chance of living

Illusions

Chapter 4

"Nothing's impossible, at least not when you've got your friends helping you." -Matt Ishida Season 1 I think...

A/N: OK, I don't appreciate people pointing out all of my mistakes. I'm sorry if I get a digimon's name wrong, or digivolutions wrong, but I go from what I know. If it's something big, then yes, please tell me so. But if I spell a digimon's name wrong, get them mixed up, spell a word wrong, please, don't make a big deal out of it. It's not flaming, I know, but it can get annoying with people telling you about your mistakes all the time. -_-() Plus, I change the mistakes I make.

Takuya hid behind a tree and took slow, deep breaths. Once they got in, they got right back out. That battle was going to be very messy if they decided to stay in there.

"I sure hope Izumi-Chan is alright." Junpei said, leaning against a tree.

Takuya almost forgot about Izumi. He looked up at the castle, and his stomach churned. He just hoped Izumi and Kouji would get out in one piece.

~! @#$%^&*()_+

Izumi Put her hand on the wall, and stopped to catch her breath. She'd been running for a while, mainly in circles, and she couldn't find Kouji anywhere. She also wondered if the others made it out all right, or if they were even alive. Izumi Continued to run around like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to find Kouji.

She fallowed a trail of torches to only find a blank wall. She cursed under her breath, and found the hallway she came back and ran around some more. She then saw steps, and ran down the floor below. Nothing. She sighed and ran back up the stairs when something caught her eye. She ran back down to find a hallway with blue torches.

"That wasn't there before..." She whispered to herself. She walked slowly down the hallway, being careful not to step on any traps or anything. The ground was covered with water, and it seemed to be getting deeper. By the time she found a door, the water was up to her knees. She peered in to see a Digimon sitting there in shackles and handcuffs, looking so sad.

"Hi." Izumi Said softly. The digimon shot his head up and looked at Izumi in the eye.

"No, please! Please leave me alone! I didn't do anything, I swear!" he squeaked, hiding his eyes away from hers.

"What are you talking about, I'm not going to hurt you," She said softly, pressing a hand to his shoulder.

"That's what he said, before he tortured me, hurt me, beat me down and starve me. Your just like them, go away! GO AWAY!"

Izumi backed away from the digimon, and her eyes grew wide. Who could of done this to such a poor creature?

~! @#$%^&*()_+

Kouji slowly opened his eyes. He could hear someone coming, could hear their footsteps echoing through out the castle. Please don't let it be Kouichi, he thought. I don't have any strength to even speak to him right now. The footsteps got nearer, and he could see it was a feminine figure in the shadows. It wasn't Kouichi, thank god, but who was it?

"Hello Minamoto, have a nice sleep?" She walked slowly to where his cage was and Kouji could clearly see who it was.

"What do you want, Lanamon?" He barked, not happy at all to see her.

"I have orders, Minamoto. I need to kill you; I want to kill you. See, it's either my life, or yours. Which would you think I would choose?" Lanamon said, walking up to him. "Get ready for your destruction!"

~! @#$%^&*()_+

Izumi learned that this digimon's name was gomamon. He was a slave to Kouichi, and has been for 5 years now. (Yes, I just had to add him ^^) Izumi got him to talk, and later on, gomamon wasn't all that skittish around Izumi. He trusted her enough to show her where he saw a boy being carried in not that long ago. They were soon walking in waist deep water, which wasn't a problem for gomamon, since he was, after all, a water type Digimon.

"How deep does this water get, mind me asking..." Izumi asked, walking deeper into the water.

Not all that deep... deep enough so some water digimon can swim around in here, without dying so quickly."

"Wow, he's so thoughtful," she said sarcastically. "How much further did you say?"

"Only a few more feet, then we'll be out of the water dungeons!" (A/N: I don't know if Kouichi has digimon slaves, or if there's such a thing called a water dungeon... I've never seen the show (4th season) so don't sue me for it!)

Izumi sighed, and could hear people talking. A woman's voice: and a boy that sounded like Kouji.

"Gomamon! Were almost there!" Izumi shouted, running for the door.

"Izumi! Watch out for the..."

It was too late. Izumi found a risen crack in the floor underneath, and went pummeling head first into the water. Izumi was in shock, and was only lying in 5ft water, but it all happened so fast that hear head started to get all dizzy. Gomamon quickly dove underneath her and pushed her towards the surface. Izumi gasped for air as he propelled himself through the water. He burst through the dungeon doors and swam to the edge. He lifted her out of the water and made sure she was breathing. Izumi's eyes flickered open, and she was still gasping for air. She was covered in water from head to toe, and she could feel she was covered in the inside as well. She lifted herself up, and patted Gomamon on the head.

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it, you have to go save your friend now!"

"I forgot all about Kouji! Thank you Gomamon!" Izumi ran to the door where she thought Kouji was in, careful of any unknown cracks in the floor. She then burst through the door and found Lanamon, inches away from Kouji's neck.

"HEY YOU WENCH! LET HIM GO!"

Lanamon turned around, in shock. "You again! You have been nothing but trouble to me! It's time to put you to sleep!"

Kouji saw as a soaked Izumi ran towards them, ready to spirit evolve to fairymon. (I am not going through the whole procedure!) He also saw as a little digimon came by and blasted the cage with his attack. (Please do not flame me on this part, I'm making it up as I go along, all right?) He then picked the locks on the shackles holding him down.

"Thank you," Kouji said, weekly.

"Don't worry about it... but it looks like your friend needs some help!"

Kouji looked where the battle was raging on. He knew what he had to do. He spirit evolved to Wolfmon. He then saw fairymon falling, falling to the ground. He jumped up, and grabbed her just in time.

"Thank you, Wolfmon," She said with a smile.

He smiled back, and looked away from her eyes. "We need to get out of here, Lanamon is already digivolving to the next level."

Wolfmon carried fairymon and gomamon down all the hallways and rooms till he finally found a window that he could jump out of. He took a breath, and lifted off with his feet, out of the castle. Fairymon clutched onto him as they went soaring through the air, and out of the castle.

"Aisheritu," fairymon whispered into wolfmon's ear when they landed.

Yes, that's all for now. I know, I know... what!? That's a stupid ending! YOU STINK! I know I stink... I'll write more when I'm able to. I just have 2 sites going on right now, and it's a hassle to do all this stuff! I will make a sequel to this hopefully, someday. In the meantime, Review, and tell me what you think. Took me long enough, eh? I would like to thank everyone for their kind reviews, and the ones that didn't correct me on the littlest mistake I did. It's goodbye for now, I'm in the mood to make a koumi fic, and so you may possibly see me there. Plus, I might make a Ryuki fanfic, because, honestly, all the Ryuki fanfic out there is so, well, centered around. "Will Ruki and Ryo admit their feelings for each other?" and, "All the girls love Ryo at school, but he only loves one girl in his life," and blah de blah de blah! Puh-lease! So, I may come back, I may not... who knows? Thanks again, and please R&R! (BTW, if you guys didn't know, Aisheritu means I love you...yeah... sorry if it's spelt wrong...)
