As I walked along the tall grass I sighed. It seemed impossible to get out of here; she had been walking for an hour and seemed to be walking in circles.

"Well, at least I've got a pretty view and atmosphere…." I said to myself and forced a smile onto my face. If only this mini skirt would quit flying up because of this wind, this mountain range would be perfect.

"Zoe Orimoto…."

"Huh!" I turned around rapidly…where was that voice coming from….? Why did it sound so farmiliar….? "Mercurymon!" It hit me in the head.

"Quite right my pretty…." A shadow appeared over me and I let out a small gasp as Mercurymon punched me on the back of the head. The pain throbbed through my brain and seemed to bounce off the walls of my head. As I landed on knees in the grass, holding the back of my head tightly.

"Ouch. That hurt…a lot." I stood up and winced as my head let out a very short but sharp pang of pain. "How dare you hurt a woman!" I shouted in his calm face once I had recovered from the shock even if my head still throbbed. "You're gonna pay for that!" I transformed into Kazemon, and as soon as I did I kicked him in the face, he ended a few yards away from me.

"You little…."

"Don't be such a baby, you know you deserved it." I stuck my tongue out at him and thrust my hands out and out of my fingertips came bursts of pink wind which turned into tornadoes in a flash. "Hurricane Wave!" I threw the 10 tornadoes at Mercurymon so they turned into one big—as Kai would say since she was from Hawaii—KAHUNA!

Mercury teleported seconds before the hurricane hit him and ended up right behind me and gave me another punch in the head. "Too slow." He said very dully.

"OUCH!" I screeched as I hit the ground and held my head. It hurt even more he was made of metal—so after the second blow—why aren't I unconscious?

"Considering you're a mere human; you must be wondering why you aren't unconscious." Mercurymon smiled.

"Actually—yeah, I am."

"It's quite simple actually, too bad you won't find out—though that smarty-pants energy girl probably will—soon—so I need to finish you off before she does!" Mercurymon disappeared and reappeared behind me, this time, I dodged the punch in the head easily. Then he reappeared right behind me again and punched me again.

"Ok, now that's realllllly irritating. Try fighting like a digimon and use some attacks for once!" I tempted him, putting up a fighting pose like a boxer.

"As you wish…but I'm quite sure you'll regret…." Mercurymon raised him arms and behind him came a huge black ghost with piercing red eyes and sharp teeth.

"Waaah!" I exclaimed and dodged one of the ghosts sharp claws, then from behind me came another claw and it flung me to the ground, my head was throbbing like crazy and everything was getting blurry. I could feel my practal code swirling around me.

"Why thank you, I would love to take your puny spirit!" Mercurymon took my spirit and made a silver cage around me with a black cloth over it making everything dark. My eyes bulged out of my eye sockets; I couldn't think straight—my head….

Mercurymon has my spirit…. My head was throbbing so, so much…. Make it stop, I want my spirit back, I want this pain to stop. I imagined Takuya next to me and smiled. I wanted my friends with me….
