Episode 14 " Finding Ebidramon and Floramon "

Synopsis: Last time, Andromon had upper hand in the fight against the digidestind. Right when Joe and the others thought it was over, Gomamon net digivolved to Ebidramon! Ebidramon now had the upper hand as he defeated Andromon. The next day, after Joe and the others returned to the base, it was demolished, and Catherine and Floramon were captured! The European Omega had sent them to the re-erected Eiffel Tower, and Tai and the others went after them with a plan. Tai and Joe did save Catherine, and Jacque, who the European Omega also had with her, along with Floramon and DarkAgumon (Jacque's digimon), but the Guardromon attacked. Floramon fell from the tower, but was saved by Ebidramon. Meramon came to the rescue, but when he dedigivolved, he told Tai and the others that the European Omega had gotten away with Ebidramon and Floramon!!!

"The European Omega has escaped… with Ebidramon and Floramon…"

As Agumon trailed off after his words, Catherine and the others stood there, stunned. Just when everything seemed to be fine, this happens. Tears started to form in Catherine's eyes, as she covered her eyes with her hands. Jacque went over and wrapped his arm around Catherine's.

"Don't worry my love, everything is going to be alright. We'll save Floramon and Ebidramon, right guys?" Jacque looked over towards the sullen Joe and depressed Tai, with Agumon by his side. Catherine wiped her tears away, and then took one of her arms to unwrap Jacque's from her shoulders. "Catherine, why did you do that?" Jacque asked. Catherine looked into his eyes.

"Because Jacque, I don't love you anymore. Since you've been away, I've fallen…for someone else…I'm sorry," Catherine replied, looking down at the ground, depressed. Jacque looked at her.

"Tell me you're not serious Catherine. Don't tell me you're in love with one of these two strange digidestind," Jacque said, looking at Tai and Joe. The comment awoke the two Chosen, and made them angry.

"Hey buddy, be careful who you say that to. We aren't strange, just different. We're the Chosen," Tai replied, getting ready to punch Jacque's lights out if necessary. Joe tapped Tai on the back. "What now Joe?" Tai looked behind him to see Joe's face. His eyes was closed and he was shaking his head.

"No Tai, the last thing we need is for you to get in a fight with the leader of the French Digi-Resistance, especially when we need his help. He's the only one who can track down the European Omega," Joe reasoned. This calmed Tai down, and Joe had a grip on Tai's left shoulder. He then released his grip.

"You're right Joe, you're right." Tai said. He then looked back toward Jacque. "Fine, I won't fight you, not right now anyways. Let's go back to the base," Tai replied, his eyes in death glare mode, staring at Jacque in the face. Jacque looked away from him. Jacque, Tai and Joe, along with Agumon, walked towards the elevator, and pressed the "Down" button. Tai then looked back and saw Catherine there, frozen. He walked back towards her.

"Catherine, I'm sure everything's going to be alright. Now come on, we need you to help get Floramon and Ebidramon back," Tai replied. Catherine looked Tai in the eyes.

"Tai, I don't want to go with you. Not just yet. I want to stay here, if that's alright," Catherine replied.

"No, that's not alright. Catherine, you can't stay out here long. The Omega's army will find you, and then take you captive again. Are you sure you want that?" Tai asked, trying to reason with the girl. He really didn't want to lose her again. He looked at her with pleading eyes, trying to convince her to change her mind. Catherine's lips then turned into a frown.

"Fine, I'll go," Catherine simply answered. Tai smiled as he took her hand, and together the two walked back towards the elevator. It finally opened, and Tai and the others walked inside. It then closed as it descended down the tower, until it finally reached ground level.

When the doors finally slid open, Tai and the others' eyes bulged at what they saw. It was terrible, just terrible. It was a whole massacre. Human bodies were lying on the ground, blood seeping out of where they were mortally wounded. Jeep parts laid a waste the human carcasses, scattered across the whole area. All the digimon was gone though, so it seemed that the battle had ended up in a stalemate. Out of it all, only one jeep was left standing.

"This is…this is…horrible," Tai replied, looking at the dead bodies everywhere. He cringed in fear, at visualizing the soldiers and their digimon fighting the Guardromon, and having their bodies ripped and torn apart, blood gushing out of their bodies. It just wasn't right.

"It sure is. Let's…get out of here. Seeing dead bodies is going to make me hurl," Joe said. The others nodded, as they advanced toward the jeep. Tai got in the driver's seat, and the Agumon sat in the front with him. Catherine, Joe and Jacque sat in the back with DarkAgumon in Jacque's lap. Tai then turned the key, and ignited the engine, having the jeep roar to life. Tai then pressed on the gas as the digidestind finally left the Eiffel Tower, and made their way toward the base…

Tai and the others made their way into the base, and Jacque looked around in horror. The base had been totally revamped, demolished. The surviving digidestind had started to reconstruct the base, and some of the engineers were fixing the main computer screen. As they finished, the screen flashed, coming back to life. The console computers were re-fixed, and they logged on into the server system. Jacque and the others made the way toward the console. The engineers saluted him.

"General Jacque, it's good to see your back, sir," one of the engineers replied. Jacque saluted him back.

"Why merci, Engineer Pont. From what Catherine said, this base has been demolished?" Jacque asked.

"Oui, sir, it has, but, ze survivors, such as myself, are beginning to repair ze damaged parts of ze base. It should be back to normal efficiency within ze hour," Engineer Pont replied. Jacque nodded in satisfaction.

"Bien, bien. Now, go finish whatever you were doing. Catherine and I have other business work to attend you if you mind," Jacque replied.

"Right!" Engineer Pont saluted Jacque one more time before going back to work, repairing the base. Jacque then turned his head toward Catherine.

"So, ma copine, are we going to work together, or are we going to bicker and argue all day?" Jacque asked, looking at the saddened girl. Catherine woke up from her thoughts, and looked at Jacque.

"We'll work together, I guess. Tai and Joe, you can go get some rest now, if you like," Catherine replied. Joe and Tai nodded, and they left, along with Agumon. Catherine and Jacque then went to the computer and went to work…

It was a chilly night in the city of Paris. Catherine couldn't sleep, as she tossed and turned around in bed. She was having nightmares, remembering all of those bloody bodies, collasped upon the ground. She cringed in fear, hearing the European Omega's laugh. What she didn't know, was that someone was actually watching her, that someone was about to kidnap her. Again…

That morning, Tai got up. After grooming himself, he went to Catherine's bedroom. He knocked on the door, with Agumon alongside him.

"Catherine? Catherine? Are you in there?" he asked. Usually, she would open the door, and Tai would walk with her to the workstation of the base. But, there was no response. "Maybe she went without me. Come on Agumon, let's go to the workstation," Tai said, as he looked down at his digimon partner. Agumon nodded, and the two left the room, not knowing that the girl they were looking for was missing…

About ten minutes later, of frantically searching the base, no trace of Catherine was found. As Tai was about to go back to her quarters, he saw Joe and Jacque talking at the little kitchen stand. He walked over to them.

"Hey guys, have you seen Catherine anywhere around?" Tai asked. Joe and Jacque stopped talking and looked up at him.

"No, we haven't Tai. Is there something wrong?" Joe responded.

"Well, I came to get her this morning, so we could come here and do our work, but when I knocked, she didn't answer. I then assumed that she might be down here somewhere, and Agumon and I searched the base. We came up with nothing. I'm going back to her room and she if she's there." Joe and Jacque nodded, and Tai smiled for a second as he left their presence, with Agumon beside him. Slowly but surely, Tai and Agumon made their way back towards her room.

"You think she might be in there Agumon?" Tai asked.

"I don't know Tai, but it's worth a shot," Agumon answered. Tai nodded, and proceeded to knock on the door again. And again, no answer. This frustrated the boy.

"Catherine, I'm coming in there in 1…2…3!!!" Tai hollered, as he knocked the door down. He and Agumon then looked around. The whole room was in disarray, with bed sheets on the floor. The lamp at Catherine's nightstand was broken, and the sheets were crumbled. Just as Tai was about to leave to tell the others, he saw something on Catherine's bed. He walked up to it, and picked it up. It was a note. And it stated:

Dear digidestind,

Well well well, what have we here? It looks like I kidnapped your little leader, again. And this, I'm not giving you any hint of where I am. If you want her, you have to come find her yourself. And even if you do find me, there's little chance that you will be able to defeat me. So, just give up.

Unsincerely,

European Omega

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Catherine!!!!! That, that…" Tai trailed off as he couldn't find a word to describe the Omega. Agumon then tugged at Tai's shoulder.

"Jerk? Is that what you meant Tai?" Agumon asked. Tai looked down at his partner in sadness, and in part anger and frustration.

"Yeah, Agumon, thanks…" Tai trailed off. Joe and Jacque then appeared in Catherine's doorway.

"Hey Tai, we heard you scream, so we came…to check," Joe said exhaustedly. Jacque and DarkAgumon nodded.

"Catherine's gone…The European Omega kidnapped her…again…" Tai replied, fearing what might happen to Catherine since she was in the Omega's grasp. Joe and Jacque looked down towards the floor, becoming depressed. An idea then popped within Jacque's mind.

"Well, we could use ze computer to find her. Come on," Jacque said, leaving the room. Tai and Joe looked at one another, along with Agumon, and then shrugged as they followed Jacque to the workstation.

Jacque went to the console keyboard, and accessed the city mainframe. On the main screen, a map of France showed up. Jacque typed a few keys, and the window changed, showing a map of the city of Paris, with all of its streets.

"Nice map system Jacque. What is this used for?" Tai asked, looking up at the huge screen.

"Well Tai, since we here at the French Digi-Resistance have this map system, I can use it to virtually track down any digimon, just as long as I know their power anomaly. And since we've had bumped into ze European Omega many times, I have registered his power anomaly into ze system, so I can track him down if I wanted to attack him at any given time," Jacque answered.

"Oh, that's cool," Tai said. Jacque then scrolled the mouse over the menu above the map, and clicked the "Find" part of the menu. A window then opened under it, and he scrolled down to "Digimon Anomaly." Another window opened up, with a field.

To it's left, it said "Type in Digimon's Power Anomaly:". Jacque typed the Omega's anomaly in, and to the right of the field, it had button which said "Find…". Jacque pressed the button, and the computer started scanning the area. When it was done, a response came back, with a new window opening. It said "Digimon signature not found."

"Great, just great, he isn't in ze city," Jacque replied.

"Then why don't you scan to see if he's still in France?" Tai suggested. Jacque looked back at Tai.

"You know, that might be a good idea," Jacque said. He then closed the "Find…" window and scrolled the pointer towards the menu. He clicked "View…" and there was an option, which said "View map of France." Jacque selected it, and the map showed up on the computer screen. Again he selcted the "Find Digimon Anolmoly…" option, and this time, typed "Search France…" and typed the Omega's data signature. He then clicked "Find…".

"Scanning, scanning…One digimon signature found. Located southeast, heading toward the Alps," the computer replied. On the screen, it showed a green dot, which represented the Omega, and it was moving southeast toward the Alps.

"Oh great, the Alps. Well, at least we found him. Now, how are we going to get there?" Tai asked. Jacque took out a PDA device, and also took out a cable. He hooked the cable to the device, and linked the cable with the computer console. He then selected "Download program to PDA…", and a little menu bar showed up, showing the data that was being transferred. Within a minute, the program was downloaded. Jacque then unplugged the PDA from the cable.

"Don't you remember that the Digi-Resistance has a supply of cars in a compartment of the base?" Joe asked. Tai scratched the back of his head.

"Oh…yeah. Sorry," Tai replied.

"Come on, let's go to ze hangar," Jacque replied. Tai, Joe, and Agumon nodded as they followed Jacque and DarkAgumon to the hangar. Once inside, Jacque got into a Diablo, and Tai, Joe, Agumon, and DarkAgumon sat in the back seat. Jacque fired it up, and pushed a custom button in the car. The wall opened up, revealing a hidden passageway to the streets of Paris. Jacque pushed the clutch back, and then forward as he pushed on the gas. The car roared to life as it acclerated up into the streets. On the car console, was a little port. Jacque connected the PDA device to it.

In the ceiling of the car, a little panel opened up, and a little TV came out. Displayed on the screen was the Omega's location. "Hmm, I should go this way then," Jacque said, turning left onto a street. He then hit the gas hard, and the car raced at an incredible speed of 120 mph. Tai, Joe, and the digimon were glad they were wearing seat belts, or else they would probably hit everything in the car. Also on the car console, was another button, labeled "Turbo Thrusters." Jacque pressed it. At the sides of the trunk at the end of the car, two panels opened up and two little thrusters emerged. Jacque pressed on the gas, and the thrusters were activated.

"Man Jacque, can you slow down?! You're going to kill us back here!!!" Tai exclaimed.

"Qu'est-ce ce? (What) I can't hear you!!!" Jacque replied, ignoring Tai's comment. Tai huffed before looking out the window. His frown turned into a smile when he saw something.

"Jacque, slow down, the Omega's beside us," Tai replied. Jacque looked out the window, and saw the Omega. He then turned the turbo thrusters off, as they retracted back into the car, and the panel doors closed. The speed slowed down, so they could stay with the Omega. The Omega saw them. In his arms, he held Catherine, a beaten Gomamon, and Floramon.

"Think you catch me digidestind? Think again…" the European Omega laughed as he raced toward the Alps, now a few feet ahead. Catherine, Floramon and Gomamon screamed in terror, and the Omega laughed even more as he scaled up the mountain.

"Uh, Jacque, not to be too obvious, but the Omega's going up the mountain…And we're not," Tai said sarcastically.

"Well, we'll be up soon," Jacque replied, pushing the turbo thrusters on again. This time, when they came out, Jacque rotated them to have their nozzles pointing towards the ground. He then sped the car as fast as it could go, before turning on the thrusters. In one moment, the car flew off of the ground, making its way in the air. Joe looked down, and saw the ground far below him. He tapped Tai on the shoulder.

"Uh Tai, I have something to tell you," Joe said. Tai turned his head towards the older boy.

"What Joe?" Tai asked.

"I'm afraid of heights," Joe answered. Tai sweatdropped. He then turned his attention back towards the front…

Meanwhile, Jacque rotated the thrusters back to their regular position, so he could steer the flying car. He steered it forward, as it slowly descended on one of the mountain peaks. It then landed, and Jacque turned the car off. Tai, Jacque, Joe, and the two Agumon got out of the car. Joe and Jacque shivered.

"God, it's cold..upppp hereeee…" Joe replied, rubbing his hands up and down his arms, his teeth chattering. Jacque did the same as well.

"Well guys, too bad you're not wearing a jacket like I am," Tai replied, who started to whistle. Joe and Jacque both glared at sweatband-headed Chosen of Courage. Tai stopped whistling. "Now what?"

"Nothing Tai, it's just nothing. Now, let's go find the European Omega," Joe replied. Jacque and Tai nodded, and was just about to move, when they heard something rumbling.

"Uh Tai, is that your stomach?" Joe asked as he looked back. Tai shook his head.

"Oh great, it's an avalanche," Joe replied. Right as he finished with his sentence, huge rocks, covered in snow, made its way down the peak hills. Joe and everyone else got out of the way as the rocks rolled by, almost hitting the car by inches. When it was over, everyone sighed in relief. They then continued walking…

Meanwhile, at the top of the peak, was the clever European Omega. He smiled as he looked upon the digidestind below, not knowing they were being watched by him. Catherine, Gomamon and Floramon were in his grasp. "Those foolish digidestind think they can stop me. And I'll let them think that. But, come morning, they will be no more. And then my master's conquest of this territory will be complete," the Omega said. Gomamon squirmed.

"Hey buddy, you don't know who you're dealing with!!!" Gomamon exclaimed, sqirming around in the Omega's arms.

"I don't, do I? Well, how about you take this!!!! Ughhhhh!!!!" the Omega jumped up, with Catherine, Floramon and Gomamon in his arms, and temporarily released Gomamon. He then grabbed him by the arm, and hurled him down toward the ground. The snow broke his fall, but the accelerating speed from being thrown made the poor digimon unconscious as he collided with the cold ground. The Omega landed, and then looked to his left.

"Anyone else want to deal with me?" The European Omega asked, looking down at Catherine and Floramon. They shook their heads.

"Good, good. Just shut up and everything will be fine. For me," the Omega said. Catherine nodded, and sighed tiredly as she stared off into space.

Tai, Joe, Jacque, I hope you find us. Soon…

"Man, where can they be? We've been searching around here for hours!!!" Tai exclaimed, frustrated that he and the others haven't found anything. They were next to a frozen stream.

"I know Tai, I know. I bet the European Omega has tabs on us, so he probably knows when to evade us," Joe theorized. Tai looked down at the ground depressingly.

"It's just that I want to find Catherine and Floramon, and Gomamon as well, Joe. I want to them get them away from that ludacris digimon that calls himself an Omega," Tai replied. Joe looked down at the ground as well.

"Me too Tai, me too…" Joe trailed off as his thoughts went somewhere else. A voice then snapped the two out of their depressing daydreams.

"Hey, mon amis, I've found something," Jacque said. Joe and Tai looked to their rights, seeing the smile on Jacque's face, as DarkAgumon was by his side.

"What is it Jacque? I don't know if I can handle anything else for the moment," Tai said.

"Come with me, and I'll show you what I've found. Come on, we don't have all day," Jacque replied, starting to walk off, his partner by his side. Tai and Agumon just looked at each other and shrugged, before walking off after Jacque, and Joe joined Tai from behind. Ten minutes later, the five reached a log cabin, nestled in the snowy hills of the Alps.

"Hey Jacque, that's great! Now at least we won't freeze out here," Tai said, glad that he and the others weren't going to die out in the cold.

"Yeah, I know. We better get inside, because it's going to be night soon," Jacque said. He went toward the entrance, and entered the cabin. Tai and the others followed suit.

Inside, the cabin was furnished. It had your basic needs: An air conditioner/heater, a TV, radio, two beds, a refrigerator, toaster, oven and microwave with sinks and a bathroom. And some decent lighting.

"Well guys, if you excuse moi, I'm going dormir (to sleep)," Jacque replied. Tai and Joe nodded.

"Yeah, me too. What about you Tai?" Joe asked, heading toward the little bedroom. Tai looked down at Agumon and then out a window of the cabin.

"Uh, me and Agumon are going to stay up a little longer. We'll sleep later. Have a goodnight Joe," Tai said. Joe smiled at him.

"You too Tai, you too." Joe then walked off into the bedroom, leaving Tai and Agumon to their themselves. Agumon looked up at the depressed face of his partner.

"Is there something wrong Tai?" Agumon asked.

"What? No, there's nothing wrong Agumon, nothing at all. Except that Catherine, Floramon, and Ebidramon are in the hands of a mad digimon. I feel like we have nothing against him, to help us fight him. After all, he is an Ultimate level digimon, and you can only net digivolve to Meramon, a Champion level digimon. If only you could digivolve a bit further…" Tai trailed off as he looked out of the cabin window. Outside, snow begun to fall. Agumon looked at Tai, and then off into space.

Maybe I can if you help me Tai, maybe I can…

It was a cold, freezing night in the Alps. Catherine and Floramon, along with the battered Gomamon, were kept in a cave that the European Omega had found. The Omega had told them not to escape, because if they did, they would be killed on-sight. This frightened the three, but also made them curious. What did the Omega had planned for them? This made the three think. And here they were, talking in troubling conversation…

"What do you think he's doing out there Catherine?" Floramon asked, staring at her partner. Catherine was sitting indian style, with her eyes closed. She then opened them, and looked out upon the cave entrance. She saw the shadow of the European Omega's back, standing in the fallen snow. She was about to look back at Floramon, when something out of the ordinary caught her attenion. In the distance, a few meters ahead of the shadowy Omega, were a squadron, of huge, dark figures. Seeing this got Catherine to understand what the European Omega was going to do. He was planning to the apply named "Search and Destroy" tactic. Catherine finally turned her head to look at her digimon partner.

"He's…He's…He's rounding up his troops…I think he plans on ambushing Tai…and ze others…" Catherine replied, tears started to flow from her eyes. Gomamon and Floramon looked at each other, and frowned. It looked like it was going to be a very sad night indeed, as Catherine cryed herself to sleep. Gomamon and Floramon followed suit, as the two digimon slowly succumbed to their minds, falling asleep in the cave…

Meanwhile, the European Omega was overlooking his troops. He smiled, thinking about the little plan that he was formulating within his mind. It would scare the other digidestind. They wouldn't know what hit them. In front of him, were six lines of Guardromon, with five in each line, totaling thirty Guardromon in all. The Omega then decided it was time to speak, and he opened his mouth, letting the words come out…

"My fellow comrades, it is time for you to go out and find the digidestind. I know they are up here, somewhere, hidden within these troublesome mountains. Once you find them, bring them to me. I'll do the rest," the European Omega commanded. The Guardromon nodded.

"Good, good. First three rows, stay with me. Other three, go and find them. Now!!!!" the Omega exclaimed. The other fifteen Guardromon took to the air, as they left their master to go search for the digimon-carrying humans. The European Omega turned back to look at the other fifteen Guardromon. He then walked towards them, with an evil grin on his face.

"Okay you other fifteen, here's what we do…"

Back at the cabin, the digidestind had all fallen asleep. Joe and Jacque were situated in one room, sleeping separately on two beds, while Tai, with Agumon, was asleep on a couch. But, the Chosen of Courage wasn't having a peaceful sleep. Disturbing images flew through his mind, as his closed eyes cringed. And then, a horrible nightmare began…

***TAI"S DREAM BEGINS***

Tai was situated near the cliff of a mountain, where there was a forest deep below. Beside him was Jacque and Joe. Jacque had DarkAgumon with him, as Tai had Agumon. The two digidestind sneered at the European Omega, who was standing in front of him. In his grasp were Catherine, Floramon, and Ebidramon.

"So, you digidestind have finally found me. Let's see if you can save the girl," the Omega said, dangling Catherine in Tai's view. This made the teen more irritated.

"Agumon, let's get him!!!" Tai shouted, taking out his digivice. But it wasn't there.

"What? Agumon, I don't have my D-3!" Tai exclaimed. Agumon looked up at him.

"Then, let's try our best. Here I go! Yuhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!" Agumon exclaimed, charging into battle. Tai knew the Rookie digimon was outmatched.

"Agumon, NOOOOOO!!!!!" Tai hollered. It was too late, as the Omega ripped through Agumon's body, having it transform into data. Tears formed in Tai's eyes, as his best friend and protector was gone.

"Oh, so sad your pet died? Well, it's not over yet lover boy. Because I've got your girlfriend," the Omega sung at the end of sentence. He then outstretched his arm, and hung Catherine and Floramon over the cliff.

"Not Catherine! Guys, we got to do something!!!" Tai looked to his left and right, but Joe and Jacque were not moving. It was as if they were in suspended animation. "Oh great, they won't respond." Tai turned his head back toward the Omega. "Fine then, I'll go after you." Tai tried to move, but somehow could not. The Omega smiled.

"Well, Chosen of Courage, it seems there is nothing you can do to stop me. What is your last words to this girl hmm?" the Omega asked, rising his arm to reveal a frightened Catherine with Floramon in her grasp. This made Tai angry, and sad at the same. Angry, because he couldn't save her, and also sad for the same reason. Tears reformed, and cascaded down his cheeks, until they finally hit the ground.

"Boo hoo, what, we have a crybaby? Well, I guess it's goodbye then. See ya!!!" The Omega dropped Catherine, as she fell from the cliff. Tai watched as in horror as she fell, and then in one piercing scream, it was over…

***TAI's DREAM ENDS***

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tai hollered, jerking awake. Sweat flowed down his forehead, as the boy breathed heavily. That dream was so real, almost like it happened. I couldn't bear to lose Catherine, or Agumon, or the others. Tai looked around, and felt relieved as he saw Agumon asleep, in his lap. At least not yet, anyway, Tai thought. Just then, Tai heard a sound outside. He listened in.

"I have detected humanoid lifeforms within this structure," one of the Guardromon said, looking into the cabin. Five of the Guardromon had surrounded the cabin, blocking off any hope of Tai's escape. But, he didn't know the Omega's troops had surrounded him and his friends. Yet.

Back in the cabin, Tai became frightened. The Omega's troops had found him! He didn't know what to do. If he tried to escape, the Guardromon would probably kill him. He had to find some way to escape. He shook Agumon. The little yellow t-rex like digimon slowly came to.

"What, what? I'm up Tai I'm up!!!" Agumon shouted. Tai clinched Agumon's mouth shut.

"Listen Agumon, and listen good. We have been found by the Guardromon. Any minute now, they will probably brake in here and capture us, or kill us. We have to find some way to escape. I'm going to wake up the others, while you either distract the Guardromon or try to find a way out of here," Tai instructed. Agumon nodded.

"Great, now go, and be quiet," Tai said. Agumon jumped off Tai's lap, and proceeded to look around the cabin quietly. Meanwhile, Tai walked into the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, the two other digidestind were snoring. DarkAgumon was asleep beside Jacque, while Joe was off to himself. Tai went over to Joe's bed first and shook the older boy awake. Joe hazily opened his eyes, having them be blurry with his glasses off. He found his glasses, and put them on. His vision then cleared, seeing Tai in front of him.

"Tai, why did you wake me up? I was having such a good dream…" Joe trailed off, frowning at the younger digidestind.

"Because Joe, what I have to tell you now is urgent. Right now, there a few of the Omega's troops outside this very cabin. We have to escape Joe, or else they'll probably kill us," Tai replied.

"Kill us? I don't want to be killed!!!" Joe exclaimed. Tai then clamped Joe's mouth shut.

"Then be quiet, or you'll blow our cover. Agumon's trying to find a means for us to escape. Now, I'm going to wake up Jacque and DarkAgumon. Then, we'll try to come up with some way to escape, alright?" Tai replied. Joe nodded, and got out of bed and put his socks and shoes on. He then left the room quietly.

About five minutes later, everyone was awake, within the cabin. Tai, DarkAgumon, and Jacque, left the bedroom, to find a very happy Agumon and a cranky Joe.

"Tai, I've found a way to escape!" Agumon exclaimed silently.

"What is it Agumon?" Tai asked. The others followed Agumon to a rug, which was on the floor. Tai and the others looked at Agumon weirdly. "Uh, Agumon, it's just a rug," Tai said.

"It's not the rug Tai, it's what's under it." Agumon removed the rug, and Tai and the others looked closer. A circle, about half a foot wide, had a handle attached to it. Tai wrapped his fingers around, and opened the circular door. Beneath the door, was a tunnel with a ladder on the circular side of the wall.

"Sweet, let's go!!!" Tai exclaimed. He climbed down into the tunnel, his hands and feet on the ladder. He then looked up toward Joe and Jacque.

"Are you two babies coming or not?" Tai asked. Joe was looking down into the tunnel, which was very dark.

"Well, Tai, how can I say this. I'm afraid of the dark!!!" Joe exclaimed. Something then moved outside.

"Come on, we don't have much time!!!" Tai pulled Joe inside, and Jacque just shrugged as he and DarkAgumon climbed down. Agumon then joined them, moving the rug back on and closing the secret corridor, so the Guardromon couldn't find them.

The Guardromon then burst into the cabin, turning their heads to look around. After about ten minutes of looking, they fled the cabin, and flew back towards the location of the Omega.

"Oh great, now the boss is going to be angry at us. This won't be good," one Guardromon said.

"Yeah, I know. He will totally have our heads. And I don't want to die," another one said. The other thirteen then nodded in silence, as the Guardromon faded away in the night sky…

Meanwhile, Tai and the others were still clinging onto the latter. It was really dark, now that the door had been sealed.

"Great idea Tai, now we're all stuck in the dark!!!" Joe exclaimed at Tai, wherever he was in the darkness.

"Well, at least Agumon and I got us to escape the wrath of the Omega's troops!!! So shut up!!!" Tai exclaimed. Jacque just shook his head in the darkness.

"Tai, Joe, I think we can be gentlemen about this. Right now, we don't need to argue. Right now, we need to find Catherine, Ebidramon and Floramon, so about we shut it for now?" Jacque asked.

"Okay," Tai and Joe replied in unison.

"Good, now let's try to find some way down," Jacque replied. Tai felt down as his hand clutched another part of the steel ladder. He then climbed down, which the others heard him.

"Man, I wish I had a flashlight right about now," Tai said. As he finished his sentence, his D-3, which was clipped to his pants, illuminated, causing light to pour from the device's LCD screen and all throughout the tunnel. Tai then looked down, and smiled as he saw that there was ground beneath them.

"Thank you digivice. Okay guys, now that we can see, we can descend." Tai then climbed down, with the others following him. About five minutes later, the five were on the ground. Tai realized that they were in a cave, seeing stalagmites and stalactites all around. He then unclipped his D-3. Joe's D-3 then activated, showing a dot, with a compass formed around it, telling them to go north.

"Hey Tai, my D-3 is getting a reading that there is something this way," Joe replied, pointing his index finger up ahead of the boy. Tai nodded.

"Then you will lead the way Joe. Let's go," Tai said. The five then started moving, navigating through the cave, making their way through the caverns.

An hour had passed, and Tai finally saw something ahead, which to him looked like an exit. He then checked the clock on his D-3. It stated 6:00 A.M. He looked up ahead again, and then looked back at Joe and the others.

"Okay guys, I think I've finally found the exit," Tai replied.

"That's what you said half an hour ago," Joe snapped, weary with sleepiness. Jacque then looked to the two as he spoke.

"Oui, and you have terrible navigating skills," Jacque said. This made Tai growl.

"Well, for once, I think I have actually found the exit, so screw you two, I'm going. Come on Agumon," Tai said, looking down at his partner. The little dinosaur digimon nodded, and the two ran towards the path ahead. Joe, Jacque and DarkAgumon looked at one another before finally agreeing to join with Tai, following behind the tan Asian digidestind. As Tai and Agumon rounded the corner, Tai smiled at what he found. It was Catherine, Floramon, and Gomamon!!!

"Hey guys, I've found Catherine, and Gomamon, and Floramon!!!" Tai hollered.

"No kidding?" Joe asked.

"No kidding," Tai answered. Joe and Jacque, along with DarkAgumon, made their way towards Tai's location. They stopped once they were behind the boy, and looked down upon the two sleeping digimon, and the beautiful French blonde. They then smiled.

"Great job Tai!!! But I'm wondering, if they're here, where is the European Omega?" Joe asked.

"Good question. He could be anywhere. But I'm not waiting to find out." Tai bent down, and shook the girl awake. Catherine's eyes fluttered open, as her vision came clear. And as it did, they settled on Tai.

"Tai!!!" Catherine exclaimed, as she hugged the boy. Tai returned the embrace, blushing in it, and reminiscing in her arms. He was so glad that she was alright. Joe and Jacque sighed in despair, as they saw the two receive each other's warmth. It seemed that they both would have to give up on the beautiful digidestind.

"So, how did you cinq (five) get here, and without ze Omega tracking you down?" Catherine asked, wondering how the others got to her without being caught.

"Well, it just so happened that after we stopped searching for you, no offense, Jacque found a cabin. We then decided to stay in it for the night. Later, at about 4:00 A.M, Tai wakes me and Jacque up, telling us its time to go, because he said that he thought he heard some of the Omega's troops outside our cabin. Agumon had found a secret escape, and that's how we got here," Joe said, summarizing his little adventure with the others.

"Well, I'm glad you got here. Ze Omega has planned on using ze "Search and Destroy" tactic against you. We have to escape him," Catherine replied.

"Then why don't we just head back to the cabin? We can get into Jacque's car and go back down to headquarters," Tai suggested. As the seven were talking, they didn't know that someone was creeping up upon them at this very moment.

"Or…why don't you just avoid the inevitable…" another voice replied, from nowhere. Tai and the others turned their head, to see the European Omega, standing in the distance, his eyes in an evil glare.

"It's you," Joe replied.

"Of course its me stupid Chosen of Reliability. You think I would leave your little friend behind just to try to search for you? My master knows I'm not that dumb," the Omega replied. This made Joe and the others growl at the powerful digimon.

"Well, take this!!!" Tai's light from his D-3 was still activated, and the Digidestind of Courage pointed the screen towards the Omega, which caused him to become temporarily blind.

"Dahhhhhhh!!!!!! My eyes!! My eyes!!!" The Omega covered his eyes with his hands, cowering in pain.

"Come on guys, let's go!!!" Tai hollered. The others nodded as Tai ran past the Omega and out into the open wintry forestry of the Alps. They ran down a couple of hills, and Tai and the others throught they were home free, until they ran into a couple of Guardromon that is.

BAMMMM!!!!!! That was the sound of Tai's head, colliding with the Guardromon's chest. The boy, along with his digimon partner, fell down into the snow. The others slowed down and helped Tai up.

"Oh great, it's the Guardromon!!!" Joe exclaimed. Guardromon flew from all around, surrounding the little group of six. The digidestind, along with their digimon, became frightened.

"Well well well, you thought you could escape from me? You thought wrong digidestind, and now, you are going to pay." Two Guardromon stepped out, letting the European Omega make his way through. The sun shone brightly through the digital barrier of the sky, revealing the form of the Omega.

"Well, you don't look like much, you shrimp," Tai replied. The Omega sneered, and the Guadromon grasped Tai and the others.

"I might not look like much, but I wouldn't be an Omega for nothing. And by the way, the name's Doumon…" the Omega laughed. Tai and the others frowned, fearing that this might finally be, the end…

So, the European Omega has finally been revealed to be Doumon!!! Will Tai and the others be able to stop him, or will they never see light again? Find out next time, on Digimon: Digital Monsters!!!

Well guys, that's the end of Episode 14. Sorry it took me so long to type that one up. To tell you all the truth, I have writer's block from time to time. And I would like to thank my readers, Anthony, Beelzemon, The Angel of Love- Kuroi, and Peregrin Took. Without you all, I don't think I would be able to continue this fic, even though I dedicated all my writing time to this fic alone (it's the only one where I have very good ideas for).

Oh yeah, I also going to reveal a little secret. I'm thinking about after finishing this fic, that I would do a version of this for Tamers!!! Please review and tell me what you think!!! And until the next chapter, ja ne!!!
