Taichi gripped something, hangng around his neck.

He walked out of the tower,and went to a near-by cafe'.

He poured himself some cocoa,and then took a seat.

He pulled to object from around his neck,opened it, and peered inside.(sigh)

He listened to someone singing on-stage,while he sipped his cocoa.

I see a red door and i want to paint it black,

No colors anymore, i want them to turn black,

(His eyes watered as he looked longingly into the object.)

I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes,

I have to turn my head, until my darkness goes,

I see a line of cars,and they're all painted black,

These flowers and my love, both never to come back,

"why did you have to go?"

I see people turn their heads, and quickly look away,

Not unsual baby,it just happens everyday,

I look inside myself, and soon my heart turns black

I see my red door and it's already black,

(Taichi presses the object to his face,and continues talking to himself.)

Maybe then i'll fade away, and not have to stay in this black,

Not easy for me baby, when your whole world is black,

No more will my green seagull turn a deeper blue,

I could not forsee this thing happening to you,

(the cafe' entrance bell rings, and some people step in)

If i look hard enough,into the setting sun,

My love will laugh with me, before the morning comes,

I see a red door and i want to paint it black,

No colors anymore i want them to turn black,

I see the girls go by, dressed in their summer clothes,

I have to turn my head,, until my darkness goes,

hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm,

hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm,

(Go Rolling Stones!)

Taichi suddnely feels a sharp pain in the back of his head,he drops his cocoa,the cup smashing on the ground,and his vision goes black.

The figures drag Taichi outside to a van,and stuff him into the back,

The object, which is revealed to be a locket, drops from his hands and rolls out infront of the cafe'

Then the van drives off into the city

'

"Hmm, i wonder where Taichi went" said Terra as she walked along the stores.

She keeps walking and trips over something"What the?"

She gets up and picks up the object," A locket?"

"I wonder who's this is"she flicks open the cover and looks at the picture inside.

There was a picture was of a woman, a man, and a small boy.

"Is that Taichi?" she said ,looking at the small boy

"They looked like a happy family"

"Theres no way he would just leave something like this out in the city"

She looked around and saw fresh skid marks on the road,"Hmm, they seemed to be in a hurry"

She summoned up a rock and glided along the road, following the tire tracks.

'

"Uhh"he groaned as he opened his eyes, staring into the face of a strange,masked man.

"ahh, you're awake...good"

"Who are you?" he asked weakly

"Me? You mean they diddn't tell you about me yet?" "This could work to my advantage"he thought

"They weren't even going to tell you"

"Tell me what?"

"What the biggest danger is"

"You mean yourself?"

"Yes,according to them. They weren't going to tell you, because they wanted you dead, they wanted me to kill you

But i can help, you can join me and get back at them"

"You're such an idiot! You think i'm that dumb? I know you are lying, and i'll never join you!"

"I'm not....you'll see, they wanted you to have no knolewdge of me, so that you would perish"

"Shut up! I'm not joining you!"

"I see...things may become complicated then"

" i don't care what you do to me!"

"Not you (chuckle)..her"he points to a screen behind him, showing Terra flying down the road,drawing closer to the hideout.

Taichi then realized that he was unbinded.

He grabbed his communicator and was about to send a warning, when the comm was snatched by Slade.

"You want it?" he said walking to the middle of the room"Take it"

Taichi stood up and had his hands behind his back,he had learnd a new trick you see,A plant grew in his palm,and a large barb was sprouting out of it.

Suddenly,Taichi whipped his arm around and fired the barb at Slade.

Slade saw this coming and dodged to the side,"You are too predictable."he said as the barb slammed into a console on the wall,poison dripping down the wall.

'

She slowed as a warehouse came into view.

"This must be where he is."

She had a thought, and she hid behind the gate, just as she heard some guards pass by.

"geez, that was close"

She peeked around the gate and made sure the coast was clear,and then she crept up to the building.

There was a window in the door,she leaned against the door and tilted her head,so she could see through,but no one saw her.

She saw a few slade robots patrolling the area,and she tried to think up a plan.

As she stared into the window, she suddenly felt a sharp crack in the back of her head,she dropped, and a few robo-slades picked her up, and brought her inside.

'

Taichi flew against the wall,pain surging through his body.

Slade stopped for a moment and listened to a message coming from his earpiece.

"Master Slade, we have the girl."

"Excellent"

"Did you hear that Taichi?"

"I have captured her" he said as he slowly walked over to Taichi's body, laying face-down on the floor.

He kneeled down and lifted up Taichi's head by his hair

"I said, did you hear that?!"

Taichi spat in his face

Slade then punched him in the gut,knocking the wind out of him.

Then he let go,leaving Taichi limp on the floor, gasping for breath.

He walked to a door in the back of the room, and went in.

"(cough)what am i gonna do? He's too strong,And what if he does have Terra?No, he's just trying to trick you, he can't have captured Terra."

After a few minutes, he heard the door open,he heard Slade walk back in,dragging something across the floor with him.

"Join me...or your friend will suffer." He threw Terra down next to Taichi. "I will leave you two to decide" he said as he walked out of the room.

Taichi waited until he was sure Slade had left.Then he rolled over and Started untieing Terra."Terra? Why did you have to come for me?"

Terra weakly opened her eyes and smiled to Taichi."You know why"

Taichi smiled back"....of course i do"

Terra glanced at all the cuts on his forehead."Taichi, are you ok? What did he do to you?"

"It's nothing. We need to get out of here"

"We can't...it's full of guards,and we're both exhausted"

"Well, do you still have your-"

"No, they took my comm when they captured me."she said

Taichi helped her sit up, "Then what are we gonna do?"

"...I don't know"
