The Digi-Slayer Chapter 8

Ken was busy in his room, he was preparing for a long journey in the Digi- world. He spent the previous 5 hours scanning each part of the Digi-world in great detail, never stopping for anything. After about one hour of scanning the ice lands, he discovered a faint signal radiating in one of the large segments, he had found Davis. Though it took 5 hours just to find him, that was the easy part, the next part was going to be tough. After he found Davis' signal, he scanned the area for Digi-ports, and the closest one was at least 20 miles away, so now he was packing up provisions and clothes for a painful trek across the frozen desert.

Though he had decided to search for Davis alone, Yolie had been keeping in touch with him, he gazed into a wall as he remembered his last meeting with her.

*Flashback*

Ken was waiting in the park, watching in the shadows as the others talked, he couldn't hear them though, even all the yelling was inaudible while he was in that certain spot. Finally, after about 3 hours of watching, the Digi-destined rose from their seats and soon departed, he watched as Yolie was walking up towards him.

"So" he started to ask, now that Yolie was in hearing range "What was the meeting all about?"

"It was about Davis again" answered Yolie, who was staring at the grassy floor "We discussed how we should handle him"

Ken, who didn't want to interfere with her answer, sat silently, looking at the sad look in her eyes.

"Tai was going on about that we should start treating Davis as a threat, rather than our friend, Matt challenged the idea, but Tai just retaliated, silencing him" continued Yolie "He continued on, saying that as soon as we found him, we should try to capture him, but if he goes nuts, we would have to destroy him, for the sake of the both worlds"

"Always about the worlds isn't it" said Ken, anger welling up for his friend "If it wasn't for Davis there wouldn't be a world, so what is he suggesting, we kill him, just so the worlds Davis swore to protect would be safe, safe from the very person who has guarded them"

Yolie looked up to see the anger in Ken's eyes, this was the same look the Digimon Emperor had, and it was scaring the hell out of her. But as soon as it came, the anger died down and Ken just sighed, relaxing his face but still having the worry in his eyes.

"The person" continued Yolie, pretending she didn't see a thing "Who seems most affected by this, is Kari, whenever she hears his name, she starts breaking down and crying, she can barely stand to meetings now".

"She feels guilty" stated Ken "She feels she's responsible for the change in Davis, and I can't say that I don't blame her for feeling that way, she was the last person to be with the normal Davis and the first to meet dark Davis"

"But how could Kari do such a thing, usually she just laughs at Davis attempts to hit on her?" asked Yolie "I mean, what would make Kari go psycho on him and for it to effect Davis so deeply?"

"I'm not sure what was in Kari, but I think that Davis openly asking Kari out, instead of just flirting, caused him to open his heart to her" answered Ken, still not sure it was correct "When she went mental on him, the pain was just too much for him to handle, so much that a darkness in him awoke and began to take over, in the first two incidents he had with us, he was hurt and scared, I think his emotions are the trigger to his dark power, but it's all just a theory"

Both Ken and Yolie agreed that they would meet again in a week so she could fill him in on the latest information she had to offer. With that settled they both got up and left for there own homes.

*End of Flashback*

Ken sighed, exhausted by his computer scanning, he would begin his search in the morning, thinking it would best if he was at full strength and be able to move faster and cover more distance. Wormmon was behind Ken 100%, knowing that Ken's ideas were always for the better, he wanted to leave as soon as possible, but hearing the pros and cons of the matter, he decided it was best to wait.

That night, both slept peacefully, knowing that worrying would keep them up and deplete there energy. When dawn came, both human and digimon were saying good-bye to the other inhabitants of the apartment. After a few minutes of his mother's crying and his father telling him how proud they were of their son's devotion to his friend, Ken finally said good-bye and programmed his computer to send him to the set Digi-port, the flash of light illuminated off his computer and swallowed him and Wormmon, transporting them to the barren snow field.

Both of them looked around, nothing but snow white fields could be seen, but this was no time to just look around. Wormmon Digi-volved into Stingmon and Ken jumped aboard, looking at his D3 for the direction of the signal, Wormmon took off for Davis' signal, luckily the sky was clear so the two could cover more ground. After 3 hours of flying, Stingmon turned into Wormmon once again and began to eat the lunch Ken had prepared, it wasn't much, but it gave him sustenance and strength. The two had a little nap and began heading off, only 2/3 of the journey left.

It took about 14 hours for Stingmon to fly to the final stretch of the journey, they decided to walk the last mile, just incase they ran into trouble along the way. The sun had set and Ken and Wormmon could barely see where they were going, a blizzard had appeared out of no-where and was beating upon human and Digimon. The only source of light they had was Ken's D3, and only enough so he could see the screen, the little red dot getting closer and closer to the center. But even the immense will to find Davis had it's limits, the blizzard being too strong for their bodies to take, Ken and Wormmon both fainted, falling into the soft, yet freezing cold snow.
