Mimi and Palmon walked with the little Snowbotamon. They walked out of the beautiful forest into a small clearing on a cliff. They all set up a little camp away from the edge. Mimi smiled.


" This place is beautiful! Hey Palmon, do you think you could get some flowers?" Mimi asked, smiling in the sunlight. Palmon smiled back.


" Okay, Mimi! I'll be back soon!" Palmon ran off into the forest to get some flowers for her partner. Palmon happily skipped along, smiling and humming to herself. Palmon spotted some pretty pink flowers by a tree.


" Oh, wow! Mimi will love these!" Palmon picked a bouquet of flowers. She looked up, and spotted something wrong. There was a witch with white hair doing something to a hidden control spire. The control spire suddenly morphed, and became an ugly Rockmon. Palmon gasped and ran back to Mimi as fast as her little roots would take her.


" MIMI!! Mimi, a witch did something to a control spire, and it became a Rockmon! We have to-" Yelled Palmon as she came into earshot of Mimi. Too late. Palmon was hit square in the middle with a rock, and was sent flying into a tree. Mimi picked up Palmon.


" Palmon? PALMON!!!!! SOMEBODY HELP!!!!!"

Ken walked tiredly through the forest with Wormmon at his heels. He had been lost for hours. No water, no food, and lots of control spires. Ken's bowed head snapped up at the sound of a piercing scream. A very girly, piercing, deafening scream.


" PALMON!!!!! SOMEBODY HELP!!!!!" Ken and Wormmon ran toward the scream. They burst through the trees, and saw a pink haired girl crying over a Palmon. Ken ran over. The Snowbotamon backed away from him as he came near.


" What's wrong?" Ken asked as he stopped in front of Mimi's crouched form. Mimi looked up at Ken. She pulled Palmon up with her.


" A Rockmon! It hit Palmon! Now he's going to crush the Dam! And that will flood the Snowbotamon's village!" Mimi cried. Ken looked up at the taller girl.


" We'll try and stop him. Here, use my D-terminal. Signal the others for help, we'll hold him off. Wormmon, let's get to it!" Ken exclaimed, handing his D-terminal to Mimi, and pointing his D-3 at Wormmon. Mimi started to type, and Wormmon Digivolved. Stingmon soared ahead, and beat Rockmon to the Dam. Rockmon roared and tried to attack Stingmon. Stingmon blocked and lifted Rockmon off the Dam. Stingmon flew down into the canyon, throwing Rockmon into the ground. Rockmon got up and smashed Stingmon in the chest with a large boulder. Ken watched over the fight from the cliff. Mimi handed him the D-terminal.


" They're on they're way. You're Ken Ichijouji, aren't you?" She asked, not afraid. Ken froze, and then sighed.


" Yeah, I am. And I bet you're...... Mimi? Thought so. When they get here, and after Rockmon has calmed down and they have it all under control, I'm running for the high hills. So, please don't try and stop me." Mimi nodded. Stingmon and Rockmon flew up from under the cliff, Stingmon pushing Rockmon into the air. Rockmon delivered a straight hit to Stingmon's face. Stingmon was sent flying onto the ground top of the cliff. He dedigivolved to Wormmon. Ken gasped and picked up Wormmon, just as Rockmon landed a few feet away. Ken laid Wormmon in Mimi's arms, since Palmon was on the ground near a tree.


" Please, take care of him. I'll hold off Rockmon." Mimi was shocked. Ken, stop a Rockmon? Ken picked up a fair sized rock, and hurled it at Rockmon. It hit him in the back of the head, bouncing of with a hollow thunk. Rockmon whirled around, and glared at Ken. Ken tried not to let himself blink or look away. Rockmon walked slowly to Ken, each step echoing in the large canyon. Ken whispered fiercely at Mimi.


" Get them out of here. Get everyone out. I don't think I'll be able to hold him..." Mimi nodded. She rounded up the Snowbotamon, Palmon, Wormmon and they ran. They ended up down in the canyon. Ken slowly backed up to the edge, away from the advancing Rockmon. He had Ken cornered.


" The... master... wants... you... dead.... So... be... it..." Rockmon ran forward, just about to hit Ken. Ken dodged and got out of the way. Rockmon stopped dead in his tracks as Ken ran around him, hitting Rockmon in the back of the head with another rock. Rockmon whirled around and charged, getting angry.

Raidramon, Pegasusmon, Digmon, Nefertimon and Halsemon came soaring down into the canyon, landing near Mimi with a blast of dust.


" Mimi, what's wrong?" Davis asked. Mimi pointed up to where Ken was frantically dodging the enraged Rockmon.


" It's Ken! There's a Rockmon up there, trying to kill him! Rockmon was going to hit the Dam, but then Ken showed up after Palmon got hurt, and then started holding him off with Stingmon. Then Stingmon got hurt, and Ken told us all to run. Please, he's in a lot of trouble!" Mimi cried. Davis, Kari, Miyako, Cody and T.K looked at each other nervously. Should they help him? What if he turned on them? Could they trust him?

Meanwhile, with Ken......

Ken dodged another ram attack from Rockmon. He was sweating and panting, tired out. Ken watched as a huge Rock hand came flying forward to his face. Ken was barely able to get out of the way. Rockmon threw his arm to the side, and connected with Ken's chest. With a sickening crack, Ken was on the ground, yelling out in pain. Rockmon picked Ken up, hauling him above it's head. Rockmon walked to the edge, Ken kicking and screaming above his head. Not for help, though, Ken couldn't expect any.

While The Digidestined were debating with themselves whether or not to help Ken, the Rockmon came into view on the cliff edge.


" Look!! Help him!" Mimi yelled, pointing frantically upwards. The DD looked up and gasped. Rockmon laughed, and tried to throw Ken over. Ken latched hard onto Rockmon's arm, trying hard to keep from being thrown to his death. Rockmon roared and slammed Ken on the ground in front of him.

Rockmon yanked Ken up by the throat with one massive hand, and Ken grabbed onto his arm again. Rockmon slammed Ken into the ground again, and then threw him again. Ken caught Rockmon's spike with one hand, and then the other. Miyako watched with wide eyes, very frightened. She couldn't let him die that bad a death. She mounted Halsemon, despite the disapproving look of the other Digidestined, except for Mimi. Halsemon took off with the order of Miyako. They soared high, right to the level of Rockmon and Ken. Rockmon roared in pain as Halsemon attacked him.


" Tempest Wing!" Halsemon cried, attacking Rockmon full force. A big chunk of Rockmon tore off, revealing black, like a control spire. Miyako thought quick.


" Halsemon! He's a control spire! Get em'!" She shouted. In the fray, Ken was able to break free of Rockmon's grasp. Rockmon roared and shot a huge boulder Halsemon's way. He dodged, but barely. Rockmon whirled around, and picked up Ken, and hurled him at Halsemon. Ken caught on Halsemon's talons, and then flipped up onto his back. Ken crawled around Miyako on Halsemon. He readied himself for something, like a jump.

Rockmon threw some really big boulders, double the size of Halsemon's face. Halsemon tried to rear back, but it was to late. Well, that's what he thought, and Miyako thought, but not Ken. He hurled himself forward, jumping in front of Halsemon. He took the boulders, rocks and blast full force. Ken was sent spiraling upside down into the canyon, in a serious amount of pain. Miyako screamed in fright. She pushed hard on Halsemon's nerves, banking him sharply towards Ken.

Halsemon tried hard to reach Ken, but he was to far down. Miyako leaped off stupidly, streamlining herself and flying fast to Ken. She was actually catching up. She reached him, and pulled him in, trying to save him. They were a little ways off to the ground, and Halsemon wasn't going to catch up. A small tear dripped out of Miyako's eye as they neared the ground. This was it. Miyako hugged Ken's limp form tight was they neared more.


" I'm sorry, Ken, I was wrong. You aren't all evil, I'm sorry!" Miyako shouted at him. Nearer, Nearer..... Miyako shut her eyes tight, and hugged Ken for all she was worth, scared out of her wits. Halsemon and Miyako glew red.


" Halsemon, Digivolve to....... Aquailamon!!!" The huge bird swooped down, and caught Ken and Miyako on it's back. It landed in front of the Digidestined, kicking pure dust into the faces of Davis, T.K, Kari and Cody. Miyako had her eyes closed, still waiting for impact. She slowly opened one of her eyes, and smiled.


" Yes, I'm alive!!!" She screamed, jumping off of Aquailamon, leaving Ken on it's back. Miyako did some sort of happy dance, yelling and screaming and crying out loud how she was 'The Best'. Ken groaned. She stopped her dance, and jumped back onto Aquailamon's back. She took a good look at Ken. Very hurt indeed. Ken sat up, and then spotted Miyako.


" That....Hurt.....ROCKMON IS GOING FOR THE DAM!!!!" Ken yelled, ignoring all his body's protests. Ken manage to crawl off of Aquailamon's back, and stand up in the dirt, one hand on his ribs. Miyako directed Aquailamon.


" Go get em'!" She shouted. Aquailamon flew up, and knocked Rockmon off the Dam. It hit the ground and turned all black. Aquailamon dove in.


" Grand horn!" He shouted, killing the Rockmon. Aquailamon flew back to Miyako and dedigivolved. While Miyako and the DD were congratulating Hawkmon, Ken limped to Wormmon. He dropped to his knees, and picked Wormmon up. Wormmon smiled.


" Are you okay, buddy?" Ken asked, gasping a little for air. Wormmon nodded.


" Are you?" He asked back, looking up worriedly at his partner.


" I'll live. Come on, I'll fix you up at home. Then you can rest as long as you want without sand in your face." Wormmon laughed, and Ken got onto his feet, groaning in pain. He put Wormmon on his shoulder. Ken tried to take a step, but was brought to his knees with a cry of pain. Ken looked back at his ankle. It was swelling.

Ken sighed deeply, and then tried again. He got onto his feet, and limped more, keeping his foot off all pressure. It was the left one, and Ken was in pain. Before he could take another step, a sharp wave of pain shot down his whole leg. Ken was brought to one knee, gasping in pain. The whole leg must have been hurt. Ken stood up, despite the terrible, painful, even burning sensation down his whole left side. Ken was about to start again, when he remembered something. He grabbed his D-terminal off the ground, and started to type. After he sent the message, he started to limp off. But not without watch from Miyako, who was looking past her friends to the lone Ken Ichijouji she had just saved. A little beep went off in her pocket, and Miyako pulled out her D-Terminal. She opened it and read the message, Ken still in sight.

Miyako,
Thank you for saving me today.
I hope you know that I am in your debt,
And I hope that one day I can repay you for your help.
A heartfelt apology and Thank you,
Ken


Miyako smiled a little bit after the fading silhouette, the sun slowly setting beyond the horizon.

Today was one day, tomorrow is another, and yesterday is a forgotten other...
