I'm a terrible person who doesn't own any part of digimon at all. Please don't kill me for taking forever! This will be extra long! I swear! Also, the next chapter will be up by the end of next week. If it's not you can report me! Honest!

"Let me start off by saying that you've made the right choice. Coming with me will certainly prevent your brother from suffering when he dies. I'll make it quick for him. You, on the other hand, I have promised nothing too. Your death will be as slow and as painful as I see fit."

"Who are you?

"I'm the man who's been making your, and your little boyfriends, lives miserable since you got here. Yes, I caused the tree, the hole and the mountain. I'm also the one who caused his accident!" Kari followed his finger to the flickering picture of TK on the large screen in front of her. "Really, I wanted to flat out kill him, just to get him out of the way, but I find this new arrangement with him slowly dying in front of you, your brother, and his own mother, much better. You can just watch him slowly suffer. Don't worry, it won't be that dull, every once in a while he has a good twitch."

High above the ground of the arena is where we find a two very tired digimon trying to keep fighting. They have been at it for hours defending themselves and they both know they can't last that much longer. Unfortunately for our friends, every time they turned around, they were met with a new attack. There was nowhere for them to run.

"Angemon, I can't do this anymore, they just keep getting stronger, and we're to weak to do anything fabulous now. We have to land and hide."

"You're right angewomon, without TK and Kari here, we have no chance."

With that the two digimon began their descent. They flew as fast as they could, dodging attacks the whole way. Unfortunately, while flying to safety, Angemon saw something that made him stop in his tracks. Lying bloodied and battered near the edge of the arena was his partner. TK appeared to be dead.

"T...K?"

In the time that Angemon was distracted, his enemies seized the chance to send their attack full force on him. An unconscious Patamon landed hard next to TK.

Thoughts were racing through Kari's mind, most of them involving very awful things to a certain Digimon she just met. She had been staring at the screen in front of her for what seemed like hours. When Patamon had fallen out of the sky, Malmon had laughed so hard he spilled the bowl of popcorn he had been happily munching on. Kari screamed at him as she struggled to break free of her restraints, but to no avail. All her struggling earned her was a hard slap across the face. Now she was quietly planning her escape. She knew that there was almost no way for her to escape, but thinking about ways to get away was the only thing that could distract her from seeing TK lying on that ground in front of her.

"All this watching is beginning to tire my eyes. I think I will join in the fighting myself. I presume all you prisoners will be when I return. Now I'll go out and have my own fun with TK."

Malmon laughed as he exited the control room, heading down to the arena floor. All three prisoners watched him leave, with heavy hearts. When Kari finally made herself look back at the screen, TK was gone.

Izzy was carefully monitoring the troops that had been sent to the digiworld. He was currently focusing completely on them so he wouldn't have to think of how on earth he was going to get past all the security that was surrounding the Arena's main computer. He had decided to take a step away from it so his mind would have time to rest. Perhaps when he looked at it again, all the pieces of the puzzle would come together.

The digidestined were making very good progress, managing to take out many of the small armies that were popping up all over. The only problem was that no matter how many armies were defeated, more kept showing up in different battles. It seemed that the only way they would be able to get rid of them would be to get rid of this Malmon character everyone kept talking about, and Izzy was willing to bet his pineapple computer that Malmon had locked himself away in that arena.

Izzy decided that right then was a good time as any to look back to his self-appointed hacking task.

TK awoke with a pounding headache. As he groaned and rolled over, he found his head wasn't the only part of his body that hurt. His back, arms, legs and even hair were killing him. He opened his eyes to see where he had finally ended up; just to snap them closed again as the light burned his retinas. This was not a good place to be in.

Slowly he remembered the events leading up to his current wakening. He remembered walking down a long empty hallway and then… it was kind of fuzzy from that point on.

TK decided to try his luck at seeing again. He very carefully cracked open one eye and instantly wished he hadn't. He appeared to be right in the middle of a large pool of blood. Upon further inspection he realized it was a large pool of his own blood. This made him feel sick to his stomach. He was amazed that he could even move after losing that much blood.

As he looked around some more to see if anything would enlighten him to his whereabouts, he saw the small body of Patamon lying a few meters away. He slowly crawled over to his unconscious friend, trying his very hardest to ignore the pain pulsing throughout his body.

He suddenly remembered why he was here. He and Kari had come to help Patamon and Gatomon. Starmon had knocked him out. He hoped with all his might that Kari was OK.

When TK finally reached Patamon he held the digimon to his chest and tried his best to jam himself against the wall so he wouldn't be seen by the digimon above him.

Malmon had an evil smile across his face. He was going to enjoy this so much. His only regret was that he wouldn't be able to see the pathetic humans faces while he slowly killed TK. He assured himself that the camera he had set up in that room would record their reactions perfectly and he'd be able to watch it whenever he wanted it. When he arrived at the spot he had left TK, he was a little more then annoyed to find that the boy was no longer there. It didn't take long for him to do a quick sweep of the room and find TK cowering near the wall.

Malmon quietly walked up to TK and gently tapped him on the shoulder. He suppressed a smirk as her saw the bloodied boy look up at him, cradling his pet in his arms.

He put on his best friendly smile as he looked down at the boy and said "hello TK. It's nice to meet you. I'm your worst nightmare."

Ok, I'm done for now. I'll keep my promise, I swear to you!
