ELP: Okay, crappy title as it seems now, but keep reading. I do not own Digimon. I do own the words in italics, though. It's my poem. DON'T STEAL IT!

After screaming in my mind, I finally got the courage to keep going. Ken had just made it over the top, and pulled me up pretty fast. I looked around. There was a cave ahead of us. This wasn't just any cave. It was polished completely black, hidden well by what looked like normal moss. I walked over to it, and observed a little more closely. It was planted by hand, because of the human hand prints around it, where someone had been leaning. Hawkmon blinked.
" It seems like there are symbols below the moss....." He was right! Ken tore away most of the moss, showing Astrology signs. Only 2, but they seemed important. A Crab, and a Scorpion. Odd, wasn't the Crab Ken's sign? Hey, the cave isn't all black! The crab is silver, and the Scorpion is Dark Red.............. Hey, wasn't that what Ken was talking about?
" Ken, this is the stuff you were talking about! Astrology, the Crab, Silver, it's all on this cave........" Ken laughed. Why is he laughing?
" This is my favorite spot to come. I've been meaning to take someone here. At night, this is were the Astrology signs can be seen clearly from. Both Scorpion and Crab signs are water and negative. The Scorpion is a fixed sign, while the Crab is a Cardinal. Odd, isn't it? Here, I'll show you something even more neat. Come with me, step lively." He lead me here? And I thought it was going to be a search for something...... I followed him on to the top of the cave, to a flat spot. How could something non-crafted be perfectly flat? This is weird.
" Okay, stand here." I stood directly to where the Digital moon was. He stood behind me, lining me up for something. What is he doing? He stood beside me.
" Look that way, and don't take you're eyes off that giant rock." There was a rock, like the head of a spear, jutting out from the baron sea of sand. It looked........... Wet. I kept my eyes on it, trying to puzzle it all out. The sun seemed to disappear in the clouds, and the sand seemed to turn to an ocean, settling quietly around the spear rock. I can't believe it! The sand just turned to water! Wait, what's that? A crab, and a Scorpion! They're like formations in the clouds! What kind of science or magic is this??!?!?!
" Wow, it's beautiful........... How did it happen?" I asked, still staring at all the formations. I swore Ken was smiling for once.
" This is the Astrology magic of the Digital world. This is the power of the Moon and Pluto Combining to create an effect. Remember this: Desert to Ocean, Silver to Red, Negative Pulse, and a Fixed Cardinal. Remember that, and you can remember how the Scorpion and Crab are one in the same. Odd, isn't it? But, it is intriguing." The sky shifted, and the effect was gone. I shook my head.
" That was amazing! How long has this been happening?" Ken shrugged.
" A long time. Anyway, let's start exploring. I figure, that if it is a key, one half is on earth, one in the air, or one in this world, one in the Dark Ocean. I've got more to show you. Are you into caves?" Uh-oh. Crap, I'm claustrophobic....... Well, time to face my fears. In other words........ Shity.
" Um, I can handle it.......... I think....." Ken put a hand on my shoulder. What is going on here? He's never really been too friendly with me...... Naw, couldn't be. He's just being nice. I think............
" Don't worry. It's not that bad. I've been through the cave a few times. Nothing is in there." That helps. NOT! Well, actually, it does........ Wow. We jumped down from atop the cave, then started through it. I know it's not good to keep a hand on someone's shoulder because you're scared, but hell, I'm freaked out. I don't mind the scenery, but I'm just not into small spaces. Hell, I'm not even into dark places!
" How much further?" I asked, trying not to sound scared.
" We're here. Look around." We were in a large cavern, with torches on the sides of the wall. As soon as We stepped in, the torches lit, illuminating the symbols. The Astrology symbols were on the roof, in a circle. Everything was perfectly smooth and rounded, perfect in everyway. Then, in the middle of the ceiling, was a Crab's claws and a Scorpion's tail on what looked like a prehistoric version of a human.
" What is this?" Ken sighed.
" I don't really know. I think it means something. Remember the Scorpion and the Crab in the sky? Well, it has something to do with this. This is what I've been doing for the past little while. Coming here, trying to decipher it all. I think it's trying to tell us something. Look over here, right below that scorpion crab thing. On the floor." I nearly screamed. It was a carving of MaloMyotismon, looking up with hollow eyes. I blinked, looking back up at Ken.
" What's it mean?" Ken sighed.
" I means that this is the place of one of the keys. But, I don't know what to do. There are Kindness and Love symbols around here, but I'm not sure what they are supposed to mean. Then, over here, the Love Symbol is the background to the Kindness Symbol. I still don't understand....." I didn't understand it either. I was still staring at MaloMyotismon's hollow eyes. I felt a warm hand on my chin. I looked up. Ken had gotten considerately closer, as in, nearly nose to nose, over that symbol.
" I know I'm gonna regret this, but I don't think I can hold back much longer......" What? What is he saying? He-Holy crap! He's kissing me! This isn't normal! Wait, am I dreaming? No, it's too real! What's that light below us?!?! He broke the kiss, looking like he would expect a slap. The light faded, a key with a heart on it floating in the air. It was the key! Hey, that's what the Kindness and Love symbol meant! Hey, I guess he figured it out. I grabbed the key, and the light was gone. Ken smiled.
" Well, 2 birds with one ironic stone. Let's get it back to the village." He stated, offering for me to get out of the cave. We exited quickly, my fear going away. We stepped into the twilight, watching the sun go down.
" It's beautiful....... But, we must go. Wanna fly? And, sorry about that, it was just.......... I really couldn't hold back any more. I'm sorry." I blinked.
" It's okay. It was sort of........ Nice. Anyway, let's get flying. We'll take Halsemon. Hawkmon, do your stuff!" Hawkmon quickly energized into Halsemon, and we took to the skies, flying through the twilight sky. It was quite pretty, actually. Although, there seemed to be a weird change. One one side of Primary Village, there was a Scorpion in the dark sky, and on the other, A great Crab. What's going on?!?!?! We landed, everyone running up to us.
" The sky changed! Ken, you were right, this Astrology thing is true! What's going on!?!?!" Davis exclaimed, looking very excited. Ken looked up.
" The skies are telling us something. Something about the next battle."
