Chapter 3.

Jess was confused about everything that was going on. First, she moved to Japan, second, it snowed in the winter, and now, this guy named Wizardmon was saying that she was a DigiDestend! Nothing seemed to make sense anymore. Sure, she wanted a Digimon, maybe even like Gatomon, but what were the responsibilities? What did it truly mean to be a DigiDestend?

"We must go," Wizardmon urged. "Myotismon should be out right now, so this would be the best time to take the Tags and Crests."

"Alright!" Tai smiled, eager to face another new challenge.

"I'm coming too!" Kari said.

"Me too!" Jess said.

"You can't come," Wizardmon said. "If Myotismon finds out you two are the eighth and nineth DigiDestend, he'll kill you and then the Digital World would be doomed."

"Ok," Kari sighed. "You guys be careful."

"We will," Tai said.

Wizardmon used one of his attacks on Tai, Agumon, and Gatomon to make them fly. As soon as he did, they were off.

-------

Jess and Kari were worried. Tai, Agumon, Gatomon, and Wizardmon had been gone for a while. Jess knew her parents would be worried about her too. She had to make a decision.

"Kari," she said, "I need to go home. It's nine-'o clock and my parents will be worried."

"I understand," She replied.

Jess left the apartment and walked down the now familiar hall. She quietly opened the door to her apartment. Her Mom and Dad were pacing.

"Um," she said, "I'm home."

"Jess!" They shouted and ran to give her a hug. After the hug came the "I was worried sick!" speech. Then came grounding.

The young girl sighed as she walked to her room. Before she went to bed, she glanced out her window just in time to see an explosion. She gasped and immediately thought of Tai, Gatomon, Agumon, and Wizardmon. They had flown off in that direction.

"What's that?" She squinted hard to see something. That something was flying. Suddenly, a thought hit her. "Myotismon!"

-------

The next morning, Jess ate her breakfast as fast as she could, then ran to Kari's apartment. As soon as she was in there, Kari blurted out, "He took Gatomon."

"Who?" Jess asked.

"Myotismon," Kari said. "Tai tried to save her, but he got away!"

"I saw him flying away," Jess said.

There was nothing more to do than try to comfort her. It wasn't going well. They decided to turn on the TV. News was on every channel.

"And so, and unearthly fog has started to set in," a newsman was saying.

"It's Myotismon..." Jess said.

"He's making the fog?" Kari asked. "How do you know?"

"I had a dream about it last night," she said. "I had the power to control him. I could make him stronger and everything. He was my Digimon."

Tai, who was finishing up his breakfast, almost choked on his bite of cereal. He wiped his mouth off then shouted, "He's yours?!"

"Tai, she can't help it," Kari said. "You couldn't help that you got Agumon and she can't help that she's got Myotismon!"

"You're right," he hung his head. "I'm sorry for shouting at you, Jess."

"It's ok," she said. "I want him to be a good Digimon, not cause trouble like this. If there was only a way to make him good..."

"And the fog keeps getting thicker and thicker by the second," the newsman said. The screen was getting a little fuzzy, but you could still see.

The phone started to ring. Tai swallowed his cereal and jumped up to get it.

"Hello?" He said. "Hi, Matt. Yeah, I know who they are. It's Kari and her new friend Jess. He's what?! Alright. I'll meet you at the abandoned warehouse in five minutes."

He hung up and Kari looked back at him curiously.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"We're going to the old warehouse," Tai said. "We'll go as soon as I change clothes."

"I better go-" Jess started.

"No, you have to come too," Tai called from his room.

Jess sat back down on the couch as they continued to watch the news.

-------

Tai, Kari, Jess, and Agumon sneaked out of the building and hid in some bushes. Tai turned to face them.

"Alright, you know where the old warehouse is, right?" He asked.

Kari nodded, but Jess and Agumon shook their heads.

"It's about six blocks down the street," he pointed down the road. "Just follow me and Kari."

With that, they set off running. Everything was going good until they saw a ghost. Agumon used his Pepper Breath attack to beat it.

"What was that thing?" Jess asked.

"That was a Digimon," Tai said as they hid in some more bushes. "His name's Bakemon."

They suddenly got quiet as another ghost passed by. This one was gray with a purple cape and carried a huge scythe. Two Bakemon followed him. As soon as they passed, Tai said, "That was another Digimon. Phantomon."

"This is getting scary," Jess said as they jumped up and began to run again. "Was he going to hurt us?"

"He's searching for you two!" He said. "He'd probably kill you if he knew who you were."

The old warehouse wasn't too far away. You still couldn't see it because of the fog. It was now two blocks away. Every now and then, the four would have to hide again.

"There it is!" Kari shouted. "One more block to go!"

The last block was easy. No ghosts. They all ran inside and found Matt. Beside him stood another Digimon. It was basically yellow with a fur coat on. It smiled when it saw Tai and Agumon coming.

"Who are they?" Matt asked.

"The eighth and nineth DigiDestend," Tai panted.

"You've got to be kiddin' me," Matt said.

"Look!" Kari held up her Digivice to prove it

"I'll need to take those," Tai said. "Myotismon could find you easily if you had them with you."

Kari gave up hers, but Jess refused. "If Myotismon's my Digimon, then I want to meet him!"

Tai looked frustrated. This was no time to play around and no time to go meet the bad guy. He had to think of a way to get it so Myotismon wouldn't kill her. He wouldn't hesitate even if she was his DigiDestend.

"Ok, fine!" He said. "Keep it. I'm gonna go find everybody else. Matt, if I'm not back in one hour, get them out of here."

"Alright," Matt nodded.

"Be careful, Tai," Kari called after him.

-------

It had been thirty minutes. Kari was very worried and Jess was just plain bored. Matt was doing a pretty good job of keeping all their minds off what was going on. Every now and then, he would send Jess off with Gabumon to peek outside. Whenever Kari asked if Tai would be alright, he would tell her something comforting.

"Can I go look outside again?" Jess asked.

"Sure," Matt said.

Gabumon followed her to the door where she looked out. Normally, she would be gone for a minute or two, but this time she came running back almost immediately.

"Matt! Matt!" She called. "A huge bird is flying right towards us!"

"What?" He jumped up and ran to the door.

Just like Jess had said, a huge red bird was flying right to them. What she failed to mention was that a girl was with it.

"It's Sora!" Matt said.

The bird landed and a girl jumped down from it's hand. She ran over to them and said, "Hey, Matt! Who are they?"

"Tai's little sister and her friend," he said.

"I'm Kari and this is Jess," the little girl said.

"Nice to meet you," she said pleasantly. "I'm Sora."

Before any one else could say anything, something roared loudly. They all turned and saw a huge green bug flying at them. Down on the ground was a huge dinosaur walking and destroying buildings as it came. Behind it came Phantomon with his two Bakemon.

"Jess, Kari, we'll hold them off while you two go find somewhere to hide!" Sora shouted as Gabumon Digivolved twice.

"Go get 'em, Waregarurumon!" Matt shouted as his Digimon ran towards the two others.

Kari and Jess had no choice but to run. When they got one block away, Kari turned back to see how Sora and Matt were doing. They were loosing.

"We've gotta do something!" She shouted as she ran back to them.

"Right!" Jess followed.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Phantomon looked down at the two girls.

"You've got your two DigiDestend!" Jess shouted at the ghost.

"Stop hurting our friends and we'll come with you," Kari said.

Jess nodded. This seemed too easy for Phantomon. Either way he looked at it, Myotismon would be happy with him. That's all that really mattered anyway. He used one of his attacks and formed a bubble around them that would carry them both to the TV station.

A/N: There ya go, guys! This one's a little longer than the other chapters. What will Myotismon do when he finds out about Jess? Will he be happy with Phantomon? Only I know. Well, you guys will know when I post the next chapter. Until then, you'll have to wait!
