Note: This Chapter is working out to be a really long one, so instead of forcing you to wait for the whole thing I'm putting it out in pieces.

Chapter Two, Part A

The Final Test!

"Right Then I'll start the test with Davis, and Tai." Nabta said as he started walking back and forth. "So if you'll excuses us...." With that he pushed a button on the silver box, and a group of black walls shot up from nowhere creating a small room. Slowly a door appeared in the side of the room, reveling a pitch-black interior, which Nabta started walking towards. As he entered the door he stopped and looked directly at Tai, and Davis, and spoke one word. "Enter." With that he disappeared into the Darkness.

"Well here goes noting." Tai mumbled and walked in to the room.

"Right behind you!" Davis yelled a, d followed Tai in.

"Well," T.K said as he watched Tai and Davis leave. And then turned to face the Tamers. "We haven't been introduced, I'm T.K, but guess you may all ready know." He finished scratching the back of his head.

"Yes well my name is Henry, and it's very nice, though a bit surprising to met you in person." Henry said well offering his hand to T.K, who took it.

"So who's you're Digimon Partner?" T.K inquired as he let go. As he asked the question Henry seemed to become somewhat downcast, as did the other Tamers who heard the question, but Henry did answer him.

"Terriermon." He replied as if remembering something or someone.

"Henwy I miss Lopmon!" Susie wailed as she started tugging on Henry's pants, and started to cry again.

"I know, we all miss them." Henry said, once again leaning down to comfort Susie.

'Terriermon? Lopmon? I don't remember any Digimon by those names, and what does he mean by miss them?' T.K wondered well holding his chin.

"I wonder what's going on in there?" T.K turned around to see Yolei looking at the small room Tai and Davis had entered.

"I wish I knew," T.K replied, "I Wish I knew."

As Tai entered the room he noticed the door had closed behind him, but no one had closed it, as far as he could see anyway, considering he was locked in a room with no light whatsoever.

"Don't worry about the door, it's remote controlled, which am sure you would have realized right away if the environment of the room invite superstition." Nabta's voice called out from somewhere in the room. "Now if you would be as kind to walk towards the sound of my voice."

"I guess we should do as he says." Tai said to the spot were he thought Davis was.

"After you Dud." Davis said; Tai could almost feel Davis smiling nervously at him as he said it.

"Thanks for the confidence Davis." Tai mumbled as he stepped froward. After a few more steps inward, a bight light appeared on top of Davis, and Tai, while the rest of the room remained perfectly dark.

"Now tell me," Nabta's voice rang out from the darkness. "Are you afraid?"

"What kind of question is that?" Davis demanded. "Of course am not afraid!"

"Really?" Just Nabta finished saying that Davis felt something fly by his head, missing it by a few inches.

"What was that for Nabta!?" Davis yelled out.

"Me? I didn't do anything." Nabta asked calmly

"What do you take me for, and idiot? Davis demanded shaking his fist in the direction of Nabta's voice.

"What I think of your, and Tai's intelligence, for one is irrelevant, and has yet to be determined, but will be soon enough." Replied just as calmly as before

"What is that suppose to mean? Davis queried.

"You'll find out, now tell me, are you afraid?" Almost as if on cue the thing flew by Tai's head.

"Would you quit doing THAT!" Tai yelled out angrily.

"Doing what?" Nabta asked nonchalantly.

"Causing that thing to fly by our heads!" Davis and Tai yelled together.

"What's the matter? Afraid?" Nabta called mockingly.

"So you admit that you were the one controlling the, thing!" Davis called out triumphantly.

"Than you have admitted that you are afraid." Nabta countered smugly.

"No!" Davis exclaimed, "Than I take it you're still claming you have no idea what me and Tai are taking about?" Davis asked as he crossed his arms in annoyance.

"It's like you just said, I have no idea what you're taking about, maybe you're just imagining it, the unknown can do that to you know."

"We aren't imagining anything!" Tai yelled in Nabta's direction.

"Ah, I see what's all about now." Nabta's voice rang out. "You see everyone is afraid of something, especially those deemed to have the trait, or quality of courage, and/or bravery, they live in fear of being afraid. Quit ironic isn't?" He asked chuckling. "Now that that's said I have a new question for you, what is courage?"

"That's an easy one," Tai replied laughing, "It's the lack of fear!"

"Wrong," Nabta started to walk around the room his steps causing a clanging sound, from the floor, reveling that it was made of metal. "Now I ask you again, what is courage?"

"What are you talking about?" Davis demanded. "Tai was right courage is the lack of fear!"

"Like I said before, wrong."

"Argggg!" Davis suddenly called out in pain, holding his head and falling to his knees.

"Davis! Are you ok?" Tai asked as helped the younger boy to his feet.

"He'll be fine." Nabta informed them calmly. "Just a small mental shock."

"How did you do that?" Tai asked threateningly while helping Davis keep his balance. "And why?"

"My species is naturally highly telepathic," Nabta explained continuing to walk around the room. "Even the strongest telepath of you're species couldn't defend against the weakest of mine. As for why, am just following orders, I was told that if you answer a question with an answer that you have been told is wrong, I am to give you a mental shock."

"So you're not human, or what ever Gennai is?" Tai asked with a bit of anger still evident in his voice.

"Yes far older then either you're or Gennai's species."

* * *

Darkness, pure Darkness, an entire room in a pitch-black world, only a pair of green cat like eyes can be made out, along with the sound of wings flapping.

"Master you called for my presence?" a small, but confident voice asks.

"Indeed, I have had a premonition." A commanding, civilized, yet venomous voice rang out. "I believe Mystery, and his companies, will be sending a group of humans, and Digimons here." As the voice continued a bony hand roes, and begin moving in a circular motion "I believe they will be landing in providence 82."

"Do you wish me to contact the leader of that providence?" The smaller voice asked.

"No, let us not worry him just yet, but I do want surveillance in that general area." The voice stopped for a second, obviously in thought. "What we need is someone who is fast sly, and can work alone." The bone hand's fingers snapped. "I have just the Digimon in mind."

"Who?"

"Gatomon, send her admittedly Demi Devimon!"

Note: Yes and the evil mastermind makes his first appearance! Bet you can't guess whom it is! Also just to make this clear no character bashing was meant in this or up coming chapters, it's just Nabta being tough on Davis and Tai, as he will be on all the others. (remember Mystery's cryptic warning in chapter one? "There is one more test, one were the thing that we'll endanger the most is there pride.") As the chapters progress, I hope to have all the Tamers met all the Destined, but that will have to wait for know. So this means the charters will be used more and more.
