The Dark Ocean


ELP: Okay, another chapter. This should explain a few things.


Sammy: We don't own digimon.


ELP: Yeah, so you no sue!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Ken fell sideways, anger and hate baring on his shoulders like a ton of rock and steel. The DD stared at Ken's crouched form, and then at the long, slender blade that was left. Gennai disappeared in front of their eyes, Ken was angry, and the DD were shocked. Kari slowly moved over to Ken and knelt down beside him. Ken was shaking worse then an earthquake. Kari put a hand on his shoulder. Ken's bowed head snapped up, his eyes red like fire. He looked up into her eyes, still shaking, teeth clenched.


" He killed them. No mercy, murder, destroyed them. He killed humans, and told everyone it was all a game. Nothing but a game. He was the one who controlled them. They didn't deserve to die....." Ken bowed his head again, and broke down crying in anger. Miyako and Cody slowly walked over to Kari and Ken, and knelt down beside them. Takeru and Daisuke walked over and stood above them.


" I can't believe that Gennai was evil....." Takeru mused. Daisuke looked over to the blade. It was shining black.


" Yeah............." Kari muttered, still shocked. Ken's eyes snapped open again, still red. He stood up, and the DD mimicked the action. Ken stared out over the horizon. His eyes glazed over, completely black.


" He's still out there. It was a fake. I'll avenge them." Ken started to walk forward, not looking back. Kari slowly followed, not sure of what to think. Miyako and Cody followed after her, only going because the others were. Daisuke and Takeru warily walked after them, slight remorse running through them. The digimon followed faithfully, not knowing where they were all going. Ken pressed on with unwavering and unblinking black eyes, hatred and anger burning through him.

And on into the desert they went, not knowing the evil they would face. They stopped walking about 3 hours later. Ken just stood staring blankly out into the horizon. Kari wiped sweat off of her forehead with the back of her hand. Takeru took his hat off and handed it to her, knowing that she would get sick. Kari excepted it, and put the hat on. She got up from her sitting place on a rock, and walked over to Ken. His back was facing her and the DD. Kari put a hand on his shoulder, and walked around to face him. He looked into her eyes, his still black. Ken's eyes slowly turned back into a different color, green. Kari moved closer, and hugged him close. Ken hugged back, his chin resting on the top of her head. She looked up into his eyes. Ken smiled slightly.


" It's not much further, maybe an hour at the most. Once we get there, there'll be no turning back. You guys can go back, you know. You don't have to come if you don't want to." Kari smiled at Ken.


" Ken, I'm coming, and that's that. I'm not going to bail on you, that's for sure. No matter what. Aishiteru, Ken-Chan." Ken's eyes visibly widened. He smiled.


" Aishiteru, Kari-Chan." Kari smiled and gave Ken a quick peck on the cheek. After that, they started walking again, hand and hand. They reached a well in about an hour. Ken looked down it.


" This is it......Everyone, if you don't want to come, bail out now, 'cause you might not come back. And if you are bailing, call the other Digidestined for back up when we get out. Believe me, this place is a maze." Takeru and Cody coughed a bit.


" We'll stay here and call back up." Ken nodded. So it was just him, Miyako, Kari and Daisuke. Daisuke smiled a bit.


" Ken, I'll guard topside with Veemon. Will that be a good help?" Ken nodded and smiled at his friend. Correction, it was just him, Miyako and Kari. Ken looked down the well, and climbed the side of it, ready to jump. Ken stepped off the edge, and went flying down the well. Kari followed, and then Miyako.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Miyako screamed through the well. The well widened and widened. Kari was having a blast. It was like a roller coaster. Ken was soaring through the tunnel like a bird. All of a sudden, ground came into view. Kari and Miyako screamed and flailed, trying to slow down. They stopped falling about an inch from hitting the ground. Miyako popped one eye open, and peered around. It was a cave. Clunk. Miyako, Kari and Ken hit the ground face first with a clunk. Miyako got up and rubbed her nose. Kari shook her head, and Ken sneezed.


" Bless you." Miyako laughed out. Ken nodded. It was a dank, dusty, dark cave with lots of little nooks and crannies. Luckily, no grannies. Miyako cleaned her glasses.


" Umm....Are we allowed to get a torch?" She asked. Ken shook his head.


" No, that will make us a target. The only thing that these monsters can see is fire. No body heat, no figures, just fire. And they're deaf, too. And they can't smell. It'll be easy." Miyako nodded. Ken grabbed Miyako and Kari's hands, and pulled them along. They came to a narrow, cramped tunnel.

" Um, Ken, maybe you should go first...." Ken nodded, and made his way into the tunnel, crawling along. Then Kari, then Miyako, who was carrying a rock in a slingshot at her waist. They kept crawling, until there was a cross road. Either left or right.

" Okay, I think I've got an idea. You and Kari go to the left, I'll go right." Miyako stated, wiggling around them and taking the 'right' path. {Wink wink, nudge nudge,} Kari and Ken took the left path, and they all started to move, advancing into the dark.
