Ben ran up and knocked on the door. We waited a few minutes, but there was no answer.
"Maybe there's no one home." Wow, my voice sounded REALLY different!
"There has to be..." Ben, followed by Otamamon, ran out of sight around the to the other side of the hill.
"We should probably follow him." Davis was right, so we hiked up our pants and trudged along as fast as our baggy clothes would allow.
When we got to where Ben had ran, we couldn't find him. "Maybe he went back to the other side." So, we walked around the hill again, but we still couldn't find him.
"Oh great. We lost him!" Davis sat down and leaned against the front door. "What do we do now?"
I didn't have a chance to respond. A trap door underneath Davis opened up, and he fell in! I ran over and looked down the hole. It was really long! I gulped and jumped in.
It was pitch black. I couldn't see where I was going, but I knew I was sliding down some kind of tube, and I was going really fast. My hat flew off my head, but that was the least of my concerns. Who knew what was at the end of this tunnel! A man-eating beast? Sharp spikes? Maybe it didn't end at all! Fortunately for me, it was none of those things.
I landed with a thump on the floor in some kind of basement. My hat came out the tube, too, and landed on my head. So did Patamon and Veemon. I had forgotten that we had left them up there.
"Hey, you OK?" I tilted the hat back so I could see who was talking to me. It was only Davis.
I pushed the digimon off of me and got up. "Yeah, I think so. What a ride!"
"How do we get out of here?" Veemon asked.
"Any doors?" Patamon suggested.
"I don't know. It's too dark." Davis said.
We got up and walked around for awhile, occasionally running into things or tripping over each other. Eventually, we did find a door, but it was locked.
"Great. We're stuck here!" I sighed.
"I'll find a way out!" Davis started pounding on the door. "Hey! HEY! Let us out!"
"What are you doing?"
"There has to be SOMEONE in there! Who could've set up a trap like that?" He was about to hit the door again when someone opened it.
Light shined from the other side of the door, and we could tell who our 'savior' was. He was some old man with wild white hair. He would probably have been as tall as the Larzalere people, but he was hobbled over with age.
"What's all this racket? You kids! Get out of my cellar! Get on! Go!"
We scrambled out the door and found Ben waiting for us.
"Hey! I found him! That's the guy! That's Newbear!" He yelled enthusiastically.
"Oh great..." Davis murmured.
"These are your friends? Hooligans!" Newbear spat at us.
"Yeah, these are them!"
"What's with their clothes? Too poor to afford ones that fit? What'd you do, go thieving through some older kids crap?"
"No. Larzalere messed up our ages! These are our clothes! He just made us younger!" I glared at him. How dare he say that I was a thief!
"Well you look foolish! I won't deal with them until they get some good clothes!"
"Where are we supposed to get better ones?" asked Davis. "We haven't seen any shops or anything!"
"What about your magical wardrobe, Mr. Newbear? Couldn't they get some clothes there? You let me have some when I was here last..."
"That's because I liked you, boy! I don't like these hooligans!"
"Please?"
There was a long period of silence where Newbear and Ben just stared at each other, but then the silence was broken.
"Fine! But they better not take more than one set of clothing!"
We were led to another room with a large wooden wardrobe in it. When we opened it, we found a whole lot of clothes that were the right size for us. I chose a green t-shirt and khaki pants, and davis found a blue and white t- shirt and a pair of jeans. He also readjusted his goggles so they would fit his head. I kept my hat. I couldn't part with it, even if it was too big.
We changed into our new clothes, and then we had a talk with Newbear. We told him the events up until now, and he sat staring at us the entire time.
"So, we were hoping you'd be able to help us somehow," I finished, "since Ben said that you would be able to."
"That damn Larzalere. You do realize what he's going to make your little girl friend do, don't you?"
We shook our heads.
"Ignorant fools! You're even stupider than I thought you were!"
"What's he up to, Mr. Newbear?" Ben asked.
"He's obsessed with beautiful things, teenybopper. If it's pretty, he has to have it for his collection."
"So what you're saying is he's going to put Kari with all his other pretty things?" Davis asked.
"No! You stupid fool, you don't collect people!" He spat at Davis. "You marry people!"
"Oh." Davis sighed. "I get it now. Wait a second! You mean he's going to MARRY KARI?!?"
"That must have been what she agreed to!" It was all making sense to me now! Poor Kari! That was probably the worst decision she had to make in her life! "We've got to save her before she has to go through with that!"
"Mr. Newbear, do you think you could help us?" Ben pleaded. "Please?"
"Well, normally, I wouldn't help these jerks for anything!"
"Awww!" We all moaned at the same time.
"But, since you're fighting against that damned Larzalere, I think I'll help you out, but you have to do something for me first."
"Name it! We'll do anything!"
