Chapter 4:Tricks and Searching
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!"
The flames roared high over Takuya's head as the circle of fire surrounded him, closing in tighter and tighter. The smoke and flower ash clouded the air made it difficult to breath, and if that wasn't bad enough the flames were using up the oxygen that wasn't contaminated. Takuya moved his goggles over his eyes and placed a gloved hand near his mouth. ' I'm the warrior of flame! This shouldn't affect me!' he thought furiously, gasping for air.
A figure appeared in the massive wall of fire. At first Takuya thought he'd imagined it, but as it moved closer Takuya saw he wasn't seeing things. A small girl, with brown hair pulled up in a fancy bun, and bangs tipped red, walked slowly to Takuya.
Takuya took in a breath to call out to her but took in a mouth full of ash. He coughed violently into his hand. The girl looked over at Takuya and smiled.
/ Brave heart.../ a voice echoed over the fire, Takuya's eyes widened, then looked the small girl over more closely, she only wore a red summer kimono and her hair kept falling in her emerald green eyes.
/ If given a second, anyone can give up and run .../ the voice whispered quietly again, but the girl didn't open her mouth. She merely flicked her hair from her eyes and glazed at Takuya intensively. / This something only you can face, so remember your friends and your adventures here, remember who you have become.../
Takuya stood there puzzled but nodded. The girl smiled again. Suddenly two bright orange wings appeared from her covered back and with one mighty pulse of her wings, the flames around them disappeared. Takuya stared in awe and amazement as the gust rushed by him.
/Good luck brave heart... and remember what I've told you.../ Takuya nodded again, he removed his goggles from his eyes and smiled at the girl.
" Thank you...um whoever you are..." Takuya said grinning and, holding a hand out for the young girl to shake, but the world as he saw it swirled and twisted. He closed his eyes tightly, trying to make everything still. Takuya felt himself fall back, he landed on a strange fluffy cushion. It was almost like he'd fallen on to a cloud. Takuya dared to peak through his eye lids. What he saw caused him to yell in surprise....

Zoe JP and Tommy ran down the path as fast as they could, while Bokomon and Neemon waddled behind. Zoe's heart was in her throat, what if they didn't get the antidote for Takuya in time? What if they found it but were too late to save Takuya? These question bounced inside her brain, as she sprinted, pumping her arms hard.
The forest path soon widened and lead them to a small clearing were a fire burned forgotten. Zoe slowed to a stop, as she looked around. A deep dent in the earth caught her attention, she walked over to it slowly and looked in. It was about three feet deep and four feet in diameter. Zoe took in a slow breath hoping what she feared, wasn't real.
Tommy dashed over to the fire and threw handfuls of water on it. Soon the flames were smothered, and he looked around slowly. He was sure Takuya and Koji had stopped here. Why would a digimon need a fire and if they were going to make one why would they need sticks.
"JP! ZOE! Takuya and Koji were here I know it!" He called to his friends. JP nodded and looked over at Zoe. She seemed to be thinking about something important, and didn't respond to Tommy.
JP came up behind her, " um... Z Tommy thinks that Koji and Takuya were here, then left for some reason..."
Zoe nodded and stood up. She turned and faced JP. " They were attacked I'm sure of it! You and Tommy better spirit evolve, we'll cover more ground that way, and I bet you could sniff them out or... something..."
Tommy and JP nodded, " EXECUTE SPIRIT EVOLUTION!"
"BEETLEMON!"
" KUMAMON!"
"What about you Zoe?" JP asked looking down at the blonde. She smiled up at him.
"I'm coming too!" She said grinning brightly." What did you think i was going to do? Sit here like a bump on a log?"
Beetlemon shrugged and flew up into the sky. " I'll see if i can spot them from up here." he called back.
" OK! " Zoe yelled back to him," Why don't you try to find them here, Tommy?"
"Alright I'll try." Kumamon said grinning, before he even got a foot away Beetlemon came down through the canopy.
" There's no way I'd see them from the sky, this forest is way too thick." Beetlemon explained. Zoe nodded.
" I guess all of us are hoofing it."
The two legendary warriors nodded, and started walking, with Zoe and the other two digimon close behind.

Fear and worry stung in Koji's stomach. Sure, Takuya's heart was beating stronger now and he was still breathing but Koji couldn't shake the feeling that something was seriously wrong. The child of flame's eyes were open, and whiter then snow.
"Come on Takuya...." Koji mumbled still trying to get a reaction out of him. " You've got to snap out of this! You're our supposed leader!"
"KOJI!"
The child of light jumped and looked around. A small white bear with a green head band came bolting out of the bushes. It ran up to Koji, panting heavily.
"Tommy! Where'd you go!" a large blue beetle called from in the forest brush. " Did you find them?"
"YEA! OVER HERE!" The bear called, then turned back to Koji. "We've been looking for you and Takuya for a long time!" Kumamon breathed in between gasps for air. " Bokomon found part of the cure to save Takuya and he found out what the poison does to Digimon."
Koji's yes widened. " What does the poison do Tommy?"
Beetlemon trudged out, soon followed by Zoe and Bokomon and Neemon. Koji side glanced at them then turned back to Kumamon.
" It forces person infected to face their greatest fear, and fail against it. If we don't find the antidote Takuya will end up killing himself!" The small digimon explained rapidly. Koji sat on the ground, paralyzed with shock. Takuya? Kill himself?! The likelihood of that wasn't very high but then again what did he know about the child of flame.
"Koji?"
The child of light jumped, again, " Sorry, Tommy what's the cure?" Koji asked standing up. The Human Spirit of Ice turned his glaze to the ground.
"We don't know all of it, just a part." he mumbled quietly.
Koji frowned, " It isn't your fault Tommy, tell me what you know."
While Tommy had been explaining everything to Koji, Zoe and Bokomon were looking over Takuya. The child of flame's face was sickly white, and his eyes held no pupils or emotion. Bokomon looked at Takuya's wound and nodded gravely.
" We've got to hurry. At this rate I believe the poison will can full affect in a matter of hours."
Zoe stared at the small white digimon in pure horror, " Are you sure?"
" Unfortunately, yes. From what I read it said this poison takes very little time to fully infect a digimon."
" Then we'd better get moving." Koji said, turning around. A shimmer of white caught his eye and Koji narrowed his eyes. "Something is here..."
Beetlemon and Kumamon stood ready for a battle, fists raised and ready. Zoe looked around wildly, looking for whatever Koji saw.
" Child of Light...." a voice echoed, "I'm only here to give you a the location of where to find the fire angel..."
" Then what is it!" Koji shouted. Beetlemon Kumamon Zoe Bokomon and Neemon jumped a turned there gaze to Koji.
"Head for the frozen village, there the fire angel lays trapped in ice, but" the voice added " I warn you. You, the child of Ice, and the child of Flame are the only ones who should make it up....Thunder and wind must remain here...."
Koji nodded," Then Tommy Takuya and I will be the only ones to go. Who are you?"
Suddenly the bushes lit with a strange light, and a tall angelic digimon, walked through them. It was Angewomon. She smiled gently at Koji and the other's shocked faces.
" I am Angewomon, I was sent by Ophonimon to point you in the right direction. Go you must hurry. The child of Flame has already entered the nightmare...."
Koji felt his chest tighten, quickly he reached for his de-tector and pulled it out. " EXECUTE! BEST SPIRIT EVOLUTION! KENDOGARURUMON!"
" Tommy get on my back and bring Takuya!," Kendogarurumon barked harshly. Kumamon nodded and picked up Takuya, with great difficulty. Angewomon smiled, at them again, as Kumamon pulled Takuya on to the beast of light.
"G-good luck you two!" Zoe said, tears slipping down her cheeks, " Bring him back alive, ok?
Kumamon grinned and gave her the thumbs up. Beetlemon de-digivolved to JP and dug his hands into his pockets, pulling out several bars of chocolate.
" Take these in case you get hungry." he mumbled, handing the bars to the Warrior of Ice. Kumamon nodded and put them on his fanny pack. (I swear he has one!!)
Koji looked over at Angewomon again, she held her hand out and touched his forehead. ' He cares for you deeply Koji..' she whispered into his mind. ' Don't be afraid to tell him you care also...'
Kendogarurumon looked up at her with wide eyes, but she had disappeared into the night. '...Maybe...' he thought.
" You ready Tommy?" Koji called back. Kumamon slipped his arms in between the limp Takuya's arm and waist, making sure he wouldn't fall off.
" Ready!"
Koji sped off into the brush, " TAKE CARE GUYS! TRY TO STAY OUT OF TROUBLE!" Kendogarurumon yelled back.
" BACK AT YOU!" Zoe yelled, tears still streaming down her cheeks. JP waved a smile on his face.

A dark haired boy stood over Takuya, an irritated look on his face. His dark blue eyes narrowed to the point of being unable to see. Takuya sat straight up for air, nearly hitting heads with the dark haired boy.
"Man! Takuya, don't spazz! I thought you'd want something to eat." Koji scolded, standing up. Takuya looked around and saw he was still a the fire in the forest. 'Was that all a dream...' He thought turning to face the fire. Seven meat apples were propped up to cook in the flames. 'Maybe ...it was just a dream...' ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Disclaimer: Think about this for a second, if I ever owned digimon would I be writing this disclaimer?
