Chapter 2

Disclaimer- Yeah, don't own it.

Henrika-Wow. I got reviews! Thanks to starsweetie, Chat de la Sol, brett, disturbed care bear, artemis, crazy-silly-me, and merlraven.

Cyrox-I know that, but I put them together in a few spots because they were either in the samesentence or had the same subject. My english teacher will kill me, but that's what I did.

Cloaked Fox-You're right. I should have put a fluff warning on this. I really suggest you don't read the last chapter, which would be the next one. Not being mean, just a suggestion.

On to our feature presentation-

"Bone Melter!"

"I am sick of this guy!" Aldamon roared as he dodged the deadly spray.

"Then let's finish it." Beetlemon said, concern for Zoe adding to his serious tone. Lowemon and Kumammon nodded in silent understanding.

"Slide evolution! Metal Kabuterimon! Korrikkakumon! JagerLowemon!"

"What! Thossse knights never sssaid anything about thisss." Venamarumon said as he was confronted by three very angry beast-types and a hybrid.

"You mean you were sent here by the royal knights?" JagerLowemon growled.

"Yesss. They sssaid there was fractal code for me if I got rid of you."

"He tried to kill Zoe for her fractal code!" Korrikkakumon shouted.

"That's it! Bolo Thunder!" The others joined in with their own attacks. "Avalanche Axes! Ebony Blast! Solar Wind Destroyer!" A streak of blue light came through the trees, binding all the attacks together and making them grow.

"Venom Spear! Bone Melter!" Venamarumon tried desperately to dissolve the attack, but this time the direct hit knocked away his own fractal code. "Nooooo!"

Aldamon grabbed his D-tector. "You'll never hurt me or my friends again! Fractal code digitize!" They de-digivolved, catching their breaths before they took off in the direction Beowulfmon had. In their hearts, they all wished that Zoe would be alive and alright.

Pale blue light began to flow from Beowulfmon's hands into Zoe's wound. Her look of pain softened as more light entered the wound. Torn flesh and organs began to knit and rejoin. Kouji knew that he had to get back to the battle, but he felt that Zoe would die if he left her here. He barely marked the fact that he had de-digivolved, though he did see the sphere of blue light that appeared in front of him. "Help them." The boy whispered. The sphere twinkled before blurring away.
Somehow knowing that the rest of his friends were going to be alright, Kouji returned his attention to Zoe's wound. He didn't even notice when the pale blue light surrounding him began to fade.

"There you are!" Bokomon said as Takuya an by him. Takuya slowed his pace long enough to pick up the digimon and JP snagged Neemon and Patamon.

"Zoe's hurt." JP said before the inquisitive digimon could ask what was happpening.

"Which way did Kouji go?" Kouichi asked. Bokomon opened his mouth to answer, but Patamon beat him to it.

"Over there. The light's over there." Patamon pointed.

"We have to hurry." Tommy, despite his young age, had quickly realized the gravity of the situation. The frantic dash continued until the group burst into the meadow.

###############

Kouji felt his vision start to blur, but he kept feeding the light into Zoe's wound until it healed completely. Something bright flashed before him and he closed his eyes.

The battle-weary warriors had to rub their eyes as they saw Kouji glowing blue. He was kneeling over Zoe, both hands over her midriff. Concern spread as the boy began to sway and they saw the light around him fade to nothing. They moved forward to help, but had to stop as a bright flash of light made them shield their eyes.

When they looked back at the pair, they saw Kouji hit the ground beside Zoe, all trace of the strange light gone. "Kouji! Zoe!"

Kouichi slid in beside his twin, finding him unconcious. "Wake up Kouji. You have to wake up!"

"Zoe's wound is gone!" Takuya's shock was shared by everyone else.

"But how? We saw her! That hole was huge!" JP said.

"Kouji must have helped her somwhow." Kouichi said as he continued his efforts to revive his twin. It wasn't the first time he had seen his brother unconcious, but it didn't mean he liked the fact. Especially since he had caused it once.

"It must have had something to do with that light we saw around him." Bokomon rationalized.

"Uhhh" The group gasped and watched as Zoe opened her eyes and attempted to sit up, only to find that JP was keeping her from getting up. "What happened?" She moaned. She rolled her head to the side and saw kouchi cradling Kouji's limp form. She instantly tried to sit up again, and was yet again held down. "What happened?" She asked JP.

"We were fighting Venamarumon. Do you remember that?" She nodded, so he continued. "One of his attacks put a hole through your stomach."

"But I feel fine. What hole?" Zoe moved a hand across her abdomen and felt nothing but smooth, unbroken skin.

"Let me finish. You still had the hole when you ded-digivolved and Beowulfmon promised to get you to a safe place. As to what happened after that, we'll have to ask Kouji."

"I remember a light." Zoe said suddenly.

"Uh...well, Kouji was glowing when we got here." Takuya said lightheartedly, laughing a bit as if it were some great jole that the Digital World had decided to play on them.

"Glowing?" A look of worry crossed Zoe's face as she glanced at Kouji. "What color?" The others looked taken aback, that obviously not being the question they were expecting.

"A pretty blue color." Neemon answered.

"You mean the same color as his spirit?" Worry was evident now, in both her voice and expression.

JP was the first to catch on to what she was getting at. "You think he used his spirit to heal you somehow?"

"But he was human when we saw him." Takuya protested.

"Oh." Tommy said as he got it. Takuya looked around for an explanation.

"Exactly. His spirits may not have been enough to heal her, so he may have used some of his spirit." Kouichi said and Zoe nodded.

"I'm worried he may have used too much." She said. And with Kouji still unconcious, it seemed her worry was well-founded.

Henrika- Heh, I love knocking him unconcious. Apparently the people who wrote the show did too. You know the drill. You've read it, now review it.
