" To the Summit: Part 1 "
Kana stood silent staring up at the mountain before them. Jason and Daumon had just bio-merged. She glanced over at Lucas and Jose who were telling their Digimon to DNA digivolve. She then looked to May as she held the in-training digimon in her arms. She had a strange feeling at this point. Like something was calling to her.
"Jason do you hear something," she asked walking up to Arch-Angemon.
"No, is something wrong," he replied, cautiously scanning the area.
"No, I just got a strange feeling," Kana turned slowly looking along the mountainside. "I think I'm going to take a walk. I'll be back soon," curiosity took control over reason and she had just walked away from the others. Gatomon followed closely behind.
"Everyone," Arch-Angemon turned to the others. "I'm gonna have a look around as well. You guys set up camp." His wings burst through the back of his jacket. "I'll be back in 5," with a smile he took off flying up the mountainside and through the clouds above.
Kana walked slowly around finally finding what she was looking for. "A cave," she asked herself out loud. With little thought she entered the cave looking at the walls and the marks upon them as she stepped further into the darkness. Soon it got so dark that she had to guide herself by the walls. "Gatomon are you there," she asked feeling a bit of Nyctophobia creeping in.
[ Nyctophobia is the fear of night or dark ]
"I'm right here Kana," Gatomon reached out touching her leg to calm her.
"Good," Kana continued along the wall. 'What have you gotten yourself into,' her thoughts asked. Just then she had what she considered to be her greatest idea ever. She pulled out her D3 hoping she was correct. The D3 screen lit up creating a light within the vast darkness. "Yes," she smiled pointing the light in front of her. Walking down the tunnel. Just as she was thinking of turning back, the light of her D3 reflected off something. "Gatomon I think we found it," she started to run toward the object.
"Found what?"
"I'm not sure," she stopped shining her light over the object know. "Wait, there are two items here." She looked over the two objects. One was small, silver with yellow along the bottom. She reached out slowly touching the egg shaped object. As her mid-finger tapped the smooth surface the cave lit up.
"Kana what's going on," Gatomon's body sparkled as she stepped away from Kana.
"I feel it two," she smiled lifting the egg shaped item effortlessly. "Maybe it's our artifact. See the crest of light," she turned extending it to Gatomon. Gatomon's eyes went white as the egg emitted a bright light and vanished. And to Kana's surprise Gatomon digivolved but this time it wasn't Angewomon standing before her. Gatomon had armor digivolved into Nefertimon. Kana's eyes widen seeing her new form. "Wow," Kana stepped toward her, "Gatomon your beautiful."
"It's Nefertimon now," she replied folding her wings so she fit in the tunnel better. "Kana if this is our Artifact then what is that," she directed her attention toward the object still on the wall.
"It..." Kana took a good look at the item, "It also has the crest of light. I don't get it." She reached out picking up the cross like item but part of it was stuck in the cave wall.
"Try to pull it out," Nefertimon suggested. Kana nodded gripping it with both hands and pulling as hard as she could. Slowly the cross slid from the wall revealing a long thin blade. She held the blade looking to her partner.
"Let's go back to the others," She lowered the weapon she and Nefertimon started back down the tunnel however it seemed like a much shorter walk. Soon they were back in the light of the midday. They returned to where they'd left their friends. All seemed anxiously staring up at the mountain. "Is something wrong," Kana asked as she approached.
"It's Jay," Nick approached her slowly. "He's been gone for half an hour. The others are worried."
She looked up at the clouds then turned to Nefertimon, "Lets go look for him." Nefertimon nodded helping Kana onto her back. The two flew toward the clouds vanishing from sight. The ground troops split into three groups one staying at the camp and the other two searching around the base of the mountain for Arch-Angemon.
Two hours later they regrouped at the camp. No one had found any trace of him. They sat down at the fire though eating was more needed than wanted. No words were spoken save for the comment about night approaching. Kana looked up at the clouds wondering where Jason was. There was just this nagging feeling that he might have been in trouble but Nick calmed saying, "He'll be back soon. I'm sure of it." Gatomon stood looking up the mountain. Then Toromon gazed up at the clouds. Seeing their sudden and quick move, Nick asked, "What wrong? Is it Jay?"
"Jason," Kana jumped to her feet tossing the blanket aside as she turned her attention to the summit of the mountain. But her hopes, as well as those of the group, were laid to rest as their ears picked up on the echo of painful screams.
