----------

'I recall giving you explicit orders to kill them all!' The rage in Myotismons voice was unmistakable.

Darkmon stood against his verbal wrath unflinchingly. Come now master. How long has it been since we were truly challenged? You cannot tell me you aren't excited about this turn of events. Besides, I can eliminate them at anytime I choose. But I think this is the chance we need to flex our muscles a bit. Show all of Digiworld we are unbeatable! Defeating a few Champions would mean nothing. But the defeat of 7 Ultimates would secure everyone's belief in our power! Victory will be ours! These Digidestined are as doomed as the last......' Darkmon immediately seemed to realize he'd made a mistake. A small gulp came from beneath his hood.

'Crimson Lightning!'

--------

Taking the damp cloth Darkmon dabbed at his newest burn. The pain immediately began to subside. No matter what though these wounds always scarred. Damn that he had been so stupid. He should never have brought up the digidestined, and definitely not...them. Sighing he continued to dab delicately at his sore arm.

--------

Miles away the digidestined were also nursing their wounded. Koromon had yet to awake from his collapse and Tai had spent hours simply staring at Darkmon's note. He didn't seem to believe it possible that MetalGreymon had been defeated.

Matt was off somewhere playing his harmonica; with TK, Patamon, and Gabumon as his audience. Sora had produced a soccer ball from somewhere and was attempting to entice Tai into a game. Joe was out gathering firewood, and Mimi was fixing her hair. Izzy was cataloging the newest data on Darkmon. All the digimon were out foraging, having recovered some time ago. Suddenly a bast of energy shattered a tree followed by a stream of blue. Matt could be heard yelling off in the distance. Then all was quite. A few moments later a nearby bush parted and Matt and Gabumon came through escorting a strange hovering orb. It took everyone a few moments to process that it was a digimon.

I was one of the oddest digimon they'd ever seen and was little more than a floating purple ball with thin arms with huge hands attached to them, ending in thick bone-like claws. Izzy rushed foward with his digimon identifier. 'It's Cavermon; a digging digimon. He's a rookie with an attack called Ground Crusher. Where'd you find him?'

Matt answered. 'Found him sneakin around in the forest. As soon as he saw us he attacked, but he surrendered before we even landed a blow.'

Cavermon finally spoke up. 'I'm not here to fight you. Simply to observe.

'Then your a spy! Who're you working for?! Darkmon?!' Matt shouted.

Cavermon laughed. 'He....That's one way of putting it. But no, I'm not here on his orders, nor do I have any connections to him currently.'

'Whats that mean?'

'It's none of your business.'

'You're our prisoner. I suggest you answer our questions.'

'Or what? You gonna torture me? I doubt it. Don't worry though. All will be revealed in time.

Izzy sighed and shook his head. 'He's right.. Don't bother. He's not gonna talk.'

Matt sighed and walked away.
