[a/n: Okay, well here's another chapter to this story . . . and just to
let ya know, the slowness in updating is that I've got a TON of other
stories in the works and I needed to do some 'research' before adding to
this one, savvy? . . . blah, blah, BLAH! I hope you enjoy this story
though.]
Disclaimer: Once again, must I say it?! DIGIMON IS NOT MINE! (Even though I wish it was!)
CHAPTER 2
The group reassembled by the edge of the lake a few hours later.
"Well, any luck?" Zoe asked the others.
They all responded with a negative. Zoe sighed.
"Hey Z, don't worry, Takuya can take care of himself, at least for awhile." JP said, trying to comfort her.
"Thanks JP." Zoe said quietly. 'Well, the old Takuya could, but I'm not so sure about that now.'
"Diamond Shell!"
Takuya had to jump quickly to dodge the large brown ball that shot out from the woods at him. He landed on the ground on his stomach.
"Diamond Shell!" The brown ball came flying back.
Takuya pushed himself to his feet with one hand and pulled his D- Tector out of his pocket with the other. "Enough. Execute . . . Spirit Evolution!" Takuya yelled. "Agunimon!"
"Diamond Shell!" The brown ball came back once more.
"Pyro Punch!"
Agunimon's attack hit the ball and caused it to uncurl into Armadillomon.
"Pyro Darts!"
Armadillomon was hit. His form turned black and his Fractal Code appeared.
"Well, so much for the element of surprise. Fractal Code Digitize!"
"What are we going to do now?" Tommy asked.
"Well, we have to find a way to defeat this new evil and find the angels." JP said.
"But what about Takuya?" Kouichi asked.
"We can't spend all our time looking for him. He wouldn't have left if he didn't want to be alone." Koji said. "I say we keep going, we're bound to run into him sometime before we find the angels or the new evil."
"But what if we don't find him before then?" Zoe asked.
"Well then, um . . ." Koji couldn't come up with an answer.
A wave of magenta energy shot across the clearing and hit something in the woods on the other side. The group ducked for cover. When the wave was gone, they looked in the direction of the attack.
"Who's there?!" JP asked angrily.
Two tall human-type Digimon stepped out of the shadows.
"Bokomon, who are they?" Tommy asked nervously.
"What was that for?" A small wormlike Digimon asked, coming out of the woods opposite the first Digimon.
The darker Digimon lifted her sword and prepared to attack again.
"Wormmon Digivolve to . . . Stingmon!"
"That won't change things. Darkness Blade!"
Stingmon dodged quickly. "That's what you think! Lightning Strike!"
The Digimon lifted her sword defensively and the blades clashed in a stalemate. The two Digimon fought for the advantage for a few moments, then, the other Digimon pushed Stingmon back.
The other human Digimon stepped forward and jumped into the air above Stingmon. "Flaming Hurricane!"
Stingmon fell to the ground, defeated. His form turned black and his Fractal Code appeared.
"Fractal Code Digitize!" The first victorious Digimon said.
The two Digimon de-Spirit Evolved. The group gasped.
"I thought there were only ten Legendary Warriors, and that we had all their Spirits!" Tommy exclaimed.
The girls gave the group a cold glance, then disappeared back into the woods.
Takuya was continuing down the wooded path, hands in his pockets and staring at the ground.
"Kid, your friends are looking for you." A voice said from the shadows along the path.
"Huh!?" Takuya snapped his head up and began searching the woods on either side of the path. "Who said that?"
"Children . . ."
"Ophanimon!" Koji said, holding up his D-Tector.
"Children, your task has changed. You are not needed here in the Digital World right now, your world needs you more. You must return and protect it from the dark power."
"Well that's just great, and how exactly are we supposed to get back?" Koji asked.
"And how are we supposed to go without Takuya?" Zoe asked.
"And those other girls." JP added.
Everyone looked at JP questioningly.
"You know, those 11th and 12th Warriors?"
"You must mean Sao and Lisa, new humans chosen to help save this world. Don't bother looking for them or Takuya, I will contact them separately." Ophanimon's signal cut off.
"Wait! Ophanimon! Where are YOU?!" Zoe questioned quickly, but it was already too late.
"Well, let's get to a Trailmon station." Kouichi said.
"Yeah, hey, maybe Angler can take us home!" Tommy said.
The group headed back the way they had come, back to the station where they had battled and defeated the copy of Cherubimon.
"Takuya, you must go to a Trailmon station and go back to your world."
"But why? I haven't defeated the new evil yet." Takuya argued.
"He is sending his dark power to the Real Word to take it over. Once he has your world at his mercy, the Digital World will fall into his dark grasp with no resistance." Ophanimon's signal cut off.
"Ah man." Takuya said, sympathy in his voice. He put his D-Tector back in his pocket and ran back towards the last station he had passed.
"Sao, Lisa."
"Who said that?" Sao asked, looking at her newly inherited pure black D-Tector.
Lisa also looked at her pure purple D-Tector.
"The two of you must get to a Trailmon station and go back to your world. It is in great danger."
The two exchanged glances before running back towards the last station they had seen.
