Chapter 2
A Watery Dream"Great…just great." Daisuke said sarcastically.
The Digidestined had reached the site and found themselves facing a black and white forest. Aquilamon and Angemon flew up and looked around.
"The Dark Ocean is there too." Angemon reported.
"Do you think Daemon setting us a trap?" Takeru said.
"Doubtful. We're not feeling his presence." Gatomon said.
"We might as well check it out." Daisuke said. "Everybody, be on your guard."
Cautiously, they walked into the forest. The trees all around were almost in shadows. An eerie silence was in the air. Almost like the calm before the storm. In every direction, the Digimon checked for any sneak attacks but found nothing. They then reached the edge of the forest and found themselves looking at the Dark Ocean.
"W-Why does it feel so cold here?" Iori asked.
"It's the darkness that's here." Ken answered.
"C-can we get out of here now?" Hikari whimpered. "I'm still scared of this place."
"Yeah." Takeru agreed. "Since it looks like nothing is happening there's no point to stay."
They were about to turn around when suddenly, vines exploded out of the ground and grabbed all everyone but Ken. He watched helplessly as his friends and his Digimon struggled to break free. Miyako looked up and screamed.
"KEN! WATCH OUT!"
Ken looked and behind him was a giant tidal wave. Before he could react, the tidal wave came crashing down on him. To his horror, the water was dragging him to the ocean. He had his eyes closed from the water rushing around him. He could hear his friends crying out his name.
"KEN! KEN!"
Within a few seconds, he was in the Dark Ocean. Underneath its surface seemed like a bottomless pit. Ken tried to swim to the surface but something was holding onto him. He looked down and saw something like a black blob holding onto him. It started to move its way up like a snake. When it reached his waist, a black beam appeared from his pocket where he put his digivice. Ken couldn't hold his breath any longer and blacked out.
******************
"W-What is this place?"
Ken woke up and found himself in a dimly lit underground hallway with jail cells at the sides. He heard footsteps coming. Ken looked desperately for a place to hide but found nothing. Three men came in. Two of them carried spears and looked like guards. The third man wore an Egyptian priest's hat and had some strands of brown hair above his blue eyes.
"I don't know how I got here!" Ken quickly said to them.
They continued to walk and didn't seem to hear him. They walked trough him.
"Yume?" Ken wondered.
He followed where the three went. They stopped when they were almost at the end of the hallway. The high priest looked at one of the jail cells. A robed figure was inside and a hood covered the face.
"Guards, leave us be." The high priest said without turning his eyes off of the prisoner.
The two men acknowledged and left.
"Why did you do it?" said the high priest.
The prisoner looked up at him and quickly ran against the bars.
"I already said that I didn't do it!" The prisoner pleaded.
That voice…it sounds familiar…Ken thought.
"Why did you do it?" The high priest repeated.
"I didn't-"
"There were dozens of witnesses. Stop lying."
"Just listen to me! It's not what it looks like!"
"You're facing capital punishment for attempted assassination on the pharaoh and for trying to steal the Millennium Items. Tell the truth."
"It is the truth!"
The high priest turned his back and started to walk off. His hands were balled into fists, which were shaking. The prisoner looked trough the bars and yelled to him.
"Please! You have to believe me! I didn't do it! Kaiba!"
Kaiba stopped walking but didn't turn his back.
"Call me by my proper title, prisoner." He said icily.
Everything started to fade around Ken. The next thing he knew, he saw his friends looking down on him. He gasped and looked around. Almost all the Digimon were back in rookie form and the rest of the Digidestined looked a bit worn out but fine. They were back on the field where Ken and Wormmon landed.
"Ken! You're alright!" Miyako yelled happily.
"What happened?" Ken asked.
"We saw the tidal wave dragging you down into the Dark Ocean. A minute later, the vines that were holding us just disappeared. Your body floated back to the shore. We grabbed you and that's when we ran for it." Daisuke explained.
"It's really strange." Iori said. While you were gone, nothing attacked us."
"Guys…" Ken said.
"Yeah?"
"Something happened to me this morning." He said. "I heard my voice…no…the Digimon Kaiser's voice was what I heard. And I just had this dream. It mentioned the word 'pharaoh'. There was a prisoner who sounded familiar. I couldn't see his face. And there was a high priest named Kaiba."
"Kaiba?" Takeru said. "As in the duelist defeated by Yugi Mutou and the CEO of KaibaCorp?"
"It could be just a coincidence though." Miyako said. "Is there anything else, Ken?"
Ken shook his head.
"Thanks for helping me." He said. "We better get home now."
They walked towards the TV set and held up their digivices. A few seconds later, everybody was back in the real world and in the computer rooms where they opened the Digiport.
"Ken-chan, are you sure there isn't anything else you need to say?" Wormmon said.
"Don't worry, Wormmon." His partner said. "I'm okay now."
Wormmon went back inside Ken's backpack and they walked out of the empty school.
*******************
"Mokuba! Go to bed!" Seto yelled down the hall.
"Ok!" Mokuba yelled back.
Seto went to the bathroom to wash up. He washed his face with a washcloth. When he looked up to see his reflection…
"What the-?!"
The reflection had changed. It was dressed in different clothing. The face seemed to carry an expression of guilt, anger and sadness. Seto then heard a pleading voice. Please! You have to believe me! I didn't do it! Kaiba! The reflection started to warp and then changed back to normal.
What was that about?" Seto said.
*******************
Ken laid in his bed while Wormmon was by his side.
"Oyasuminasai Wormmon."
"Oyasuminasai Ken."
Within a few minutes, they fell asleep. Unknown to both of them, a shadow came out of Ken's Digivice. The shadow slithered across the floor like a snake ready to snatch its prey. The shadow climbed up to Ken's bed and looked at him.
"Now my plan shall truly begin." It hissed.
The shadow went on the bed and started to cover Ken.
I'll most likely have the revised third chapter posted tomorrow. Review please!
