Chapter 3: Fallen
+++
Koji trudged back to Takuya, with an arm full of sticks. Koji smiled when he saw the Child of Fire still sleeping on the ground. The loner quickly made a fire and sat down beside Takuya. Koji sighed, and spotted his forgotten bandana on the ground. He picked it up and put it back on, even though it was still a little wet. A cool breeze blew through the air and Koji became aware he and Takuya weren't the only ones there....
He narrowed his eyes and stood up. In the shadows, Alamon grinned darkly; she flexed her long red claws and stared at the child of light. Koji's eyes traced the edge of the wood; a flash of crimson caught his eyes.
"SHOW YOUR SELF!" He hissed, shoving his hand into his pocket and pulling out his de-tector. He was trying not to wake Takuya, the child of flame needed as much rest as he could get. Alamon smiled.
" The child of light...Lobomon and Kendogarurumon..." Alamon whispered, slowly walking towards Koji. She stepped into the dull light of the fire, even in though the fire wasn't very bright; Koji could her features well. She had two black bat wings poking out of her white hair, the hair falling to her lower back, a pair of bat wings portraying from her upper back, two ruby red eyes, crimson lips and claws. She wore a rather skimpy black leather outfit; it showed off her model like figure, and huge boots that went up to her kneecap. Koji stared, 'she almost looks like a fallen angel.' he thought. Koji shook his head and glared.
"Who are you!" He said again louder, this time waking Takuya. The Child of Flame looked around, spotted Alamon, and quickly stood up. Almost instantly wishing he hadn't, his vision swirled and his stomach did flips again. Takuya sunk back to the ground.
"Takuya!" Koji said worriedly, kneeling beside the other boy, still glaring at the dark digimon. Alamon watched the color of Takuya's face drain away. He quickly picked up his hat and goggles, and shoved it on his head.
"Venenomon said I couldn't harm the flame child..." she said quietly. Koji's eyes glared at her harder, ' She knows Venenomon!' ".... But... She never said anything about the Light..." Koji's eyes shot open, she raised her clawed handed up, a hungry glint in her eyes.

"...We're lost aren't we" Tommy asked, as they walked around a thicket of thorns. Zoe had suggested that they walk along a path they'd found, thinking it would lead them to Koji and Takuya. Obviously it didn't work that way.
" We aren't lost Tommy..."Zoë said softly, then paused," I'm just not sure where we are...." They'd been walking in this direction for well over fifteen minute and hadn't found any thing.
JP sighed, " Z I think we should go back, take the other path... I mean...we aren't getting anywhere here and I don't think we'll find a lake either..."
Zoe sighed. " Ok I guess it wouldn't hurt." The turned around and started had back when Bokomon gasped. The digidestined looked that the small digimon. He stared that the book with wide eyes.
"What is it Bokomon?" Zoe asked, fear flashing in her eyes. The small digimon took a deep breath, and began to read.
" Once infected with the poison of Venenomon, the digimon will slowly progress to inner torture and fear," Bokomon looked up at the children. " In other words, Takuya is going to face his worst fear and fail to concern it. He'll end up..." Bokomon gulped, " killing himself to stop it..."
A dark and fearful silence filled the air between them. Zoe's mouth opened and closed several times, before she spoke. " T-Takuya would never do that!"
Bokomon shook his head, " You don't know that Zoe. Takuya's greatest fear will swallow him..."
" but 10 digimon survived the poison!" she yelled. " There's a way to save him!"
Bokomon shook his head sadly. " The cure is almost impossible to do and frankly i didn't know all of it. " Bokomon looked back into the book and recited:
" A Feather of the fire angel and then next word is written in a forgotten language, then the word, tear." Bokomon closed the book and look up at the digidestined. " Takuya is lost for sure... We don't know how to save him..."
Zoe took in a slow breath, "We'll find away, Bokomon. Takuya is apart of this team and we will find a way!"
JP and Tommy nodded. Zoe smiled at them and started walking again. After a few minutes they found a small path. After a quick glance at each other, they slowly walked on to the path, silver beams of moonlight, lighting the way....

Even though Takuya couldn't see the greatest at this point, he still knew an attack when he saw one; he grabbed Koji's arm. The Loner looked down at Takuya. " Run...." The child of flame choked out. Koji shook his head.
" I'm not going to leave you here with this psycho freak!" Koji said quietly. " Who knows what she'll do to you!" Takuya's grip on Koji's arm tightened.
" Koji, she just said she can't touch me...Run get out of here. I'll be ok, after all..." Takuya smirked, " I'm the warrior of flame."
Koji frowned, he grabbed Takuya's other arm and pulled the goggle- head onto his back. Takuya let out a yelp of surprise. Koji slipped his arms under Takuya's knees.
" I could care less at this point Takuya, you've been poisoned and you can barely stand." Koji pointed out as he started to run for the other side of the forest. " I'm not leaving you with that freaky bitch!"
Takuya stared at the back of Koji's head in shock. ' Is he trying to protect me? Maybe he doesn't hate me...' Takuya thought.
"Koji, I think it'd work better if you digievolved" Takuya whispered quietly, into Koji's hair. The loner shivered from the warmth of Takuya's breath and nodded.
Alamon frowned, she wanted her fun. A ball of dark red energy appeared in her hand, it grew larger and larger until it reached the size of a basketball. She smiled revealing two vampire-like canines. " BLOOD LIGHT!" She yelled and flung the energy at the two boys.
"EXECUTE BEAST SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" Koji yelled, a bright code surrounded him. He felt a rush of power and warmth shoot through him. When the code disappeared a metal-wolfish digimon stood. "KENDOGARURUMON!"
" KOJI! LOOK OUT! " Takuya yelled, thankfully Kendogarurumon jumped up, the goggle-head clinging for dear life to Koji, and dodged the blast. The ball of red energy hit the ground and made a small dent in the earth. Koji and Takuya shot through the air, Takuya's arms wrapped tightly around Koji's neck..
Alamon glared darkly and sped off after them, flapping her bat wings vigorously. Her red eyes glowed brightly through the darkness. Kendogarurumon could feel her presence closing in on them and sped up.
The child of flame began to feel extremely light headed, and his eyelids felt heavy. Takuya's grip on Koji loosen. The child of light felt the other slipping and yelled out to him.
"STAY WITH ME! TAKUYA" He yelled as loud as he could, Takuya immediately gripped Kendogarurumon's neck tighter.
"OK KOJI!" The child of fire yelled back, Koji began to try to lose Alamon. He twisted and ducked in between branches and leaves. Alamon struggled to keep up and soon nowhere to be seen.
"JUST HOLD ON A BIT LONGER TAKUYA!" Kendogarurumon roared, to Koji's horror, the two warm arms slipped away from his neck. "TAKUYA!"
The unconscious child of fire fell, Koji's dark blue jacket flapping against Takuya's sides. The hat and goggles fell of his head and slowly flouted down with his body.
Kendogarurumon struggled to turn around and catch Takuya. The child of Flames body crashed into trees and branches before falling to the ground with a terrifyingly loud thump.
"TAKUYA!" Kendogarurumon flew down to the forest floor where the goggle head lay in an awkward position. He de-digievolved to Koji and knelt be side Takuya. Fear boiled in Koji's heart and stomach. He gently shook the other boy. " Takuya...come on wake up!"
Takuya's eyes slid open slightly, " I-I'm sorry Koji..." he breathed out. " I just couldn't hold on anymore..."
The Loner smiled; " it isn't your fault, buddy." 'Did he just call me buddy? ' Koji put his de-tector back into his pocket
"Ok Takuya, You've got to tell me if anything hurts."
The child of flame nodded ," My arm..." he pointed to the one that had been infected with Venenomon's attack. " It hurt's like hell, other then that... I'm fine. Just a few bruises." he smiled up at Koji, and tried to sit up, but fell back. Takuya closed his eyes and braced himself for the impacted, but it never came. He opened his eyes to see Koji holding him. The Loner smiled down at Takuya.
" I wasn't going to let you fall, now I need to see your arm, Takuya." Koji slowly pulled up Takuya's sleeve and inspected the wound. It'd gotten worse, the cut had become a sick greenish color. Like those you see on grass-stained pants. Koji frowned and pulled the sleeve back down. Takuya started to shiver again, he looked up at Koji. The loner pulled Takuya into his lap and wrapped his arms around the goggle head.
The child of light held Takuya close to his chest. " Don't worry Takuya, you'll be ok...."
Takuya let his head droop in to Koji's chest. " Thanks Koji...and...I'm sorry...." He whispered before drifting into unconsciousness. Koji gazed into the mess of brown and wild hair.
'What are you sorry for ,Takuya...' Koji wondered, as he breathed in burnett's scent. Koji smiled. ' I'll do anything for you Takky...I wish I could tell you that...'
( ^-^ FLUFFINESS...... )

Alamon snickered softly as she watched the young loner cartel the goggle head in his arms. She flicked the long white hair from her eyes and continued to watch them. A soft rustling caught her ears and she turned her head, to see Venenomon.
"Well? Did they find the cure?" Alamon questioned, her eyes traveling the grave features of Venenomon's face. The poison type digimon nodded mournfully.
" They've found it...but I think it'd be wise to let them cure the child of flame... for once you take him, we can use him to defeat his friends and get there spirits. Then kill him without any struggle." Venenomon sneered.
Alamon frowned, " I suppose you're right... but it's going to be so very long... I wanted to make the black haired one suffer..."
+++
Takuya's eyes opened to see a field of wild flowers. Shocked he stood up and started to look around, 'um.... ok....what's going on...' he thought, lightly touching a ruby red flower. Suddenly the flower burst into flames, lighting all of the other flowers ablaze. Takuya shielded his eyes and yelped. " NO! NOT THIS AGAIN!"
+++
Koji was extremely worried now, Takuya's fever had gone up again, he was thrashing about and was muttering something Koji couldn't understand. The loner had laid Takuya on the ground again, though it didn't seem to help. Koji shook Takuya trying to wake him from the nightmare, but the goggle head didn't awaken.
"no...not this again." the goggle head mumbled, raising his arms over his eyes. The loner gently pulled Takuya's arm back down and held it firmly. Takuya stopped thrashing around and laid on the ground utterly still. Koji checked Takuya's pulse, and to his horror it was exetremally slow.
" Come on Takuya." Koji whispered, still trying in vain to wake him. " Open your eyes, you've got to wake up! Tommy needs you! Your brother needs you! I need you!"
