Disclaimer: Ankoku: I am the master. I say we own Digimon, and so we do. Hikari: No we don't, moron. *bonk* Ankoku: owww...Fine, we don't. BUT WE WILL, ONCE WE SIC SNIPER KOJI ON DIGIMONS CREATOR AND CLAIM IT- Hikari: *whacks Ankoku on the head* Sniper Koji is my OC. He killed George Bush (No offence, those who like him). And HE WON'T KILL THE CREATOR OF DIGIMON!! Ankoku: Oh, but he will!! Hikari: Won't. Ankoku: Will. Hikari: Won't. Ankoku: Will. Hikari: Won't. Ok, enough of that! By the by, we are SOOOOOOOOOOOO (ooo's go on for several pages) sorry that we haven't been able to update! And, Kou-Kou is no longer, those who got their hopes up *glares at Ankoku* Stupid Ankoku. She typed it without supervision! Ankoku: Meh? Since when do I need PERMISSION to type!!?? Freedom of the press!! Hikari: You're not the press. Ankoku: Wha...*gong* I'm not...Wait..STOP CONFUZZLING ME!!!! Hikari: MWAHAHA!! HER BRAIN IS CONFOUNDED!! I CAN DO THE DISCLAIMER NOW! We do not and never will own Digimon, and for all eternity will be it's slave NOT IT'S MASTER!! The only thing we own is our OC's. Like Sniper Koji. Or Hio! But enough of that. This kinda covers the A/N too, so we have no need for that!

Chapter 3 - Can't come up with a title.

Koji entered the room. In the light, he looked eerily pale. (Kinda like Hikari when she wakes up at 6 in the morning!) Takuya couldn't help but stare at his figure. It seemed so...feminine. He hoped Koji didn't see the blush creeping up his face. Or, for that matter, notice that he was staring. His hopes were in vain.

"Takuya, what are you doing?"

"Huh? OH!! Uhh...N-nothing!" stammered Takuya, turning his head so the blush wasn't seen. Or, not seen AGAIN if Koji had already noticed.

"Whatever..." Koji turned back and kept walking, with Koichi following close behind.

Takuya noticed, that though this room was filled with a 'light', if you could call it that, there seemed to be dark shadows that seemed unnatural. One minute, they could be on any wall. The next minute, they could be on the opposite wall. Takuya shrugged this off, by shuddering. They scared him enough to make him not think of it. (A/N: Hikari: Poor stupid Takuya. If only he were watching the shadows...).

Koji felt a chill in the air. He turned around to face his twin. Since Koichi could sense darkness, it seemed natural to look to him for conclusions. The pupils of Koichi's eyes had become slits, which told Koji something right off. Something wasn't right at all. Suddenly, he felt the floor sinking below him.

"KOICHI, TAKUYA!! THERE'S SOMETHING HERE!!" and then he sunk completely.

"Huh? Koji!?? WHERE ARE YOU??" Koichi was panicking. (Hikari: It looks like you typed picnicking... Ankoku: Yea, Hikari, Koichi wa picnicking. -.-) He turned only to see Takuya half ways sunken into the ground. Koji was completely gone. He knew dead away that Koji had probably faced the same thing Takuya was now, and his ankles being tugged on. At first, he thought it was some type of panic attack. Then he remembered he didn't have panic attacks, only health conditions that had been increased because of his death and ressurection. He looked down, and saw HE was sinking too! And then, everything blacked out.

Takuya opened his eyes. Unless he had gone blind, everything was black. (Hikari: HE'S BLIND BLIND BLIND, BLIND AS A DOORNOB!!) He stood up.

'What's...up with this? I have to save Koji and Koichi! Wait...no...I can't save them...' he sunk to the floor again, wrapping his arms around his knees as the pessimism attempted to claim him.

'I can't do it...I can't do ANYTHING...I'm not good enough...I'm a horrible brother... nobody could depend on me....' Then he heard the beeping noise! BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. (Hikari: YAY!! WE HAVE BEEPING NOISES!)

"Huh?" he said meekly. The D-tecter was cursing him off, if it could.

"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP"

"Oh fine, I get it!! I have to save them...But please, 5 more minutes?" and with that thought, Takuya dropped to sleep on the floor.

The D-tecter didn't like this. It shocked him.

"OW!! FINE!! I'M GOING!!" he stood up, fuming. He walked around the room, looking for an exit, while bumping into many walls.

He realized he could use his fire to light the room.

"Exicute! Spirit-"

~(Let's just skip the Digi-volution scene, shall we?)~

Koichi woke up. The first thought that popped in his head was 'Where's Koji?' He stood up, only to be bombarded (SP?) with pessimism.

'I can't do it...I don't know where Koji is, and I never will...(Hikari: Blah Blah Blah Blah, we know what he's thinking! Ankoku: It really IS impossible for us to type something seriously...)

After this blast had knocked him to the floor, he tried to stand up, doing so shakily. "Koji...I'll find you..."

With this, he got up only to be knocked back down by saddness. Darkness flooded his vision. And with it, brought the sad memoirs of his life. He felt the tears begin to cascade down his pale face. "Ko...ji... I have to keep going...for him..." He stood up, this time fighting the urge to throw up, an after effect of the pessimism, and walked onword. Unlike Takuya, he could see through the darkness (hence his element) and made it to the exit easily.

Koji's mind reeled to consiousness. But he couldn't move. (Friend Orca: Flawlessly.... Ankoku: We'll tell you at the end of the chapter o.O) His limbs felt like lead, and his head was spinning and he couldn't see. Or, for that matter, he couldn't open his eyes. If he could open his eyes, he wouldn't be able to see either though, so it wouldn't matter.

His eyes then fluttered (Ankoku: Butterflies!! Mmm!! *looks at Orca and Hikari* WHAT?? YOU GUYS HAVE NEVER EATEN A BUTTERFLY?? Both: No, and we don't intend to, idiot!) However, though he could now open his eyes, that was about all. His limbs still felt like they weighed 500 pounds (The same effect can happen if you let two JP's sit on your arms.) and he still couldn't see! It was just a waste of his almost non-existant energy. He heard voices from far off...and not comforting ones...

The darkness had a form. It really did! And that form got hungry. Every so often, a child of light would step into his cave. Oh, how he loved souls of light. And this boy, he was probably the best prepared morsal yet! Light sprinkled with the weight of burdens. Perfect. He retreated farther back, out of any type of vision at all. As hard as he tried, there WERE people who could see through his illusion.

________The plot thickens________

Ankoku: Phew! Hope you liked!

Hikari: REVIEWS!!!

Hikari: Ankoku: Well, actually- HEY WAIT A MINUTE!! HIKARI, YOU'RE NOT _SUPPOSED_ TO REVIEW!!! Dragi: Hikari: WE ARE SO SORRY!! WE COULDN'T UPDATE SOON!!

I'm glad you like it ^_____^ Substitute for Love: Hikari: We know we're insane! Domo Arigato Gozaimasu! Ankoku: Angie? Did Angie go on the Toonami message boards on AOL? Cos it seems so...o.O

Ankoku: OH!! THE ORCA THING!! Well, the conversation went like so!

Hyperblade10(That's me, Ankoku!): I can type flawlessly. Orca: FLAWLESSLY! Ankoku: GOOD JOB!! Do you know what 'flawlessly' means? Orca: Without flaws! Ankoku: And what are flaws? Orca: Messups! LIKE YOU!! Ankoku: *gong*

And that ends the insanity for today!
