Ken slowly awoke. He groaned loudly, and sat up. He was in that chasm he had been in the day before. How long have I slept for? Ken thought, looking around. It was sometime in the morning. Ken stood up, and stared around him. Wormmon was sleeping peacefully. Huw immediately ran over to Ken, smiling. Ken bent down, and pet Huw on the head, smiling a bit.
" You're up early. Are you feeling alright?" Cody said from behind him. Ken, for some odd reason, knew Cody was there. Ken stood up again, and turned to face Cody. He had a walking stick with him. Ken stretched his limbs, and then stared a his hands. No fur. Ken sighed in relief.
" Morning. Thank God I don't have any fur on my hands. What happened? I mean, I got hit, and then it all went black for me, but I could hear something, roaring. It think it was me. Was it? Oh no, what did I do?" Ken asked, very afraid at Cody's saddened look. He stared Ken in the eye.
" Well, you see, you kind of, well, killed MegaDokukomon........ As a were wolf." Ken's eyes flew open, very wide. They then went normal, half closed, and Ken was suddenly weighed down by emotion. He sunk to his knees, eyes in shadow. Cody put a hand on his shoulder.
"I can't believe it........ I did it again....." Ken whispered. Cody sighed.
" Listen, you didn't know what you were doing. And it was a fake, anyway. Not a spire, but something else. Come on, you need to eat." Ken stood up, and followed Cody, walking behind the small child. They came to a spot near the lake, a little way down, and sat down with the Digidestined. They all stared blankly. Ken served himself, grabbing 6 apples. He started to eat, saving 4 for Wormmon and Huw. When he was done his 2, he stood up, and walked over to where Wormmon was, along with Huw. He gave 2 apples to Wormmon, and 2 to Huw. They gobbled the apples down, avoiding the seeds and cores. Huw burped, and sat down. Ken smiled at them both.
" Morning, you two. Let's get outta here, they freak me out. K?" Ken whispered. They nodded, Wormmon jumping on Ken's shoulder, and Huw standing to all fours. They started to sneak off, creeping quietly through the forest. They snuck right out to the mountains. Ken walked with Huw, Wormmon on his shoulder. Along the path of the mountain, was a little set back. A small family of MountPikmon { A mother, father, and daughter } were struggling to pull the cart up to their home, a little ways up a tributary off path. It was very steep, and they didn't have an animal to help. Ken decided they should give them a hand. He walked up to the father, very friendly. { Think of bean people for the looks }
" Hello there. It looks like you could use a hand." Ken greeted. The father had white hair, big pale eyes, and a strong white beard. He wasn't old, that was for sure. Only about 30 something. He was wearing a typical farmer get up. The mother had black hair, no beard, in a normal farmer's wife thing. The daughter looked like the mother. The Father nodded.
" Yeah, we do need a bit of a hand. Can't get this thing up to the home. Across the mountain, past our house, are the plains. That's where we've got a farm. We just have store home up there." Ken nodded, and walked past the Father, to his surprise. Ken grabbed the cart front handles { the long ones for horse reins } and started to pull, slowly making his way up. Huw was pushing against the back of the cart, helping Ken. The little family also helped, and in no time, they got the cart up the slope, and into the store house. Ken grinned.
" Thank you. If you ever need a hand with something, we'd be happy to help." Said the father MountPikmon. Ken nodded.
" Okay, sure. See you all later." Ken waved when he was back down the slope, and turned back on his walk, enjoying the morning. Wormmon was too. Huw was just trotting along, head held high along side his new friend. Ken, Huw and Wormmon crossed the mountain, and were in the savannah, looking across the area. They kept walking. They had no idea that the Digidestined were looking for them already. Ken and Wormmon stopped at the start of the desert. Ken sighed, and looked around. Wormmon stared across it.
" Looks like the only way across. Oh well, let's go! We've got lots of time to kill!" Ken smiled at his little Digimon's enthusiasm. He then started to walk through the desert, enjoying the sun set of the desert. Huw was right beside him, still trotting along. He looked like he was enjoying it all.
" So, Huw, what were you saying before?" Ken asked. Huw looked up at Ken.
" I was saying that the ladies like the fur. I mean it, really!" Huw telepathed to Ken. He nodded, and started to laugh a bit.
" Hey, I wonder what that Digimon was being controlled by......." Ken pondered, putting his hands behind his head in a Davis fashion, and looking up at the sky. Huw stopped moving, and growled viciously at something in front of them. Ken out his arms done, and smelt the rank smell. It was something..... Ken narrowed his eyes, and looked in front of him as far as he could. It was...... A creature of some kind. It was all black, with long tentacles, a bird beak face, hollow eyes, skulls and all. Ken didn't know what kind of Digimon it was. Kari, T.K, Davis, Yolie and Cody came running to Ken's side.
" There you are! We were looking all over, man!" Davis exclaimed. Ken pointed to the Digimon, slowly advancing.
" Whatever. Hey, does anybody know what that is?" Ken asked. Kari and T.K's blood ran cold, their faces went pale white, and Kari started to shake.
" It's Apocolamon. He was the one to destroy the physical crests, other then Ken's crest..... He's back for revenge, I guess....." T.K explained, shivers running through him. Ken stared back ahead.
" Well, I guess there is only one thing to do......" Ken started to shake violently in the shoulders and back. He didn't know what it was.
" Wormmon, what's going on!?!" Ken asked, surprise lining his words and face. His hands also started to shake, like before.
" I don't know! Something from the past is coming up at the same time the wolf is coming!" Wormmon shouted. Ken felt his skin ripping, and dropped to his knees, right as his back around both shoulders tore open, and to huge, blood covered wings of a dragon burst out, making Ken scream.
" AHHHH!!!!!" Ken's hands grew, slowly turning him into a wolf. Ken's body grew fast, turning back into the werewolf, plus the black and blue wings of the dragon. Ken was able to get on all fours, before he howled and lost control. The others gasped in surprise as he rose up on 2 feet, still howling. He stopped howling, and growled at Apocolamon, eyes glaring. A chorus of howls from many creatures came soon after, drifting through the air like a sheet of air, hanging in the air. Apocolamon laughed.
" Hello, you fools. Nice to see you again. Now, I think I have a little unfinished business I need to take care of. I'll just tell the boss you wouldn't come easily, and I was forced to kill you. Step aside, wolf." Ken growled deeper, while Kari hid behind T.K. Apocolamon made a lung, and Ken was thrown off his feet, but landed gracefully, slamming a foot up into Apocolamon's chest in a counter attack. Apocolamon wheezed a bit, out of breath. With a blast of red energy, he sent Ken into the ground. Apocolamon suddenly disappeared.
" You fools! The master will be back for you!!!" He yelled. Ken got up, shook his head wildly, and slowly shrunk back into a human, wings disappearing. Ken collapsed on his hands and knees, gasping for air. Yolie, Davis and Cody ran to Ken's side, while Kari started to hyperventilate into a brown paper bag, and T.K hurling with his back to everyone. Ken looked up at everyone.
" Wormmon, I am starting to think that I should have gone to Canada......"
