Chapter Two: Glademon
Kouji woke slowly with a groan, opening his eyes he found himself looking into the worried faces of his friends.
"Takuya…" he rasped out his throat very dry he sighed happily as they gave him water.
Yet he realized they hadn't answered his question.
"Where, is Takuya" he demanded they looked away nervously.
"He… was taken" Tommy finally said.
"What!" Kouji yelled and started to get up but the other stopped him.
"Stop it! Your in no condition to go after him" Zoey said pushing him back down.
It was only then that Kouji realized his arms and chest were wrapped in bandages also the fact he hurt… a lot.
'When did I get hurt s bad?' he thought confused, it seemed to show on his face because Zoey decided to tell him what happened.
"We heard an explosion, when we got there you were on the ground badly hurt and a Harpymon was fleeing with Takuya. We went after them leaving Tommy to get you back to camp, but the Harpymon just vanished," Zoey said sadly tears in her green eyes Kouji just clenched his fists angrily.
"Takuya" he whispered as tears slowly began to slip down his face he couldn't even go after his koi due to his condition.
'I failed him and now I've lost him Takuya hold on… I'll get you back' he thought, he wouldn't loose the one person who had broken though his icy shell.
OoOoO
Takuya groaned as he slowly woke up strangely he found himself in something very comfortable… was he in a bed?
Curious of where he was and how he had gotten there he opened his eyes and had to blink.
"Wow," he had to say, for he found himself in a rather huge room that was in fire colors and designs. Even the bed was in flame designs; no one with a fear of fire would enter this room.
Yet he loved it wherever here was that is.
"Kouji?" he called wondering where his koi was, in fact where was his friends?
But no one answered his call, not even when he called other names and louder.
He sighed, looks like he would have to go look for them.
He slipped out of bed and was thankful to see he was in his normal clothing he then walked to the door and pulled it open. He looked cautiously outside and blinked, long empty hallways greeted him both ways.
Takuya frowned and chose a random hallway to go down, hopefully he wouldn't get lost. His footsteps echoed loudly to his ears as he walked it was constant and made him feel edgy.
Finally the warrior of flame came to a huge door it was covered with carvings of multiple digimon… only a few did he recognize.
Should he check it out might as well.
With that in mind he pushed at the door it slowly opened with a creak.
"Hello?" he called as he walked in and then he had to gasp, a beautiful throne room met his gaze. It was beyond descriptions it was almost a dream.
"Do you like my Throne room?" an amused voice said, Takuya yelped for it had come from behind him.
A tall digimon in Golden armour stood there a blue cape swinging around its form.
"Its amazing," Takuya admitted.
"This is my castle young warrior of fire did you find your room to your liking?" the digimon asked Takuya nodded.
"It was all fine but who are you and where am I?" he asked very curious, he also wanted his friends.
"I am Glademon and you are in my castle the Crimson Palace on the floating island of Nox" the digimon said.
"Cool, but why am I here?" he asked.
"I have an offer for you" Glademon said.
"What is it?" Takuya asked his uneasiness growing.
"Work for me and my group and this shall be your home" Glademon said and for a moment Takuya was silent.
"It's a nice offer Glademon but I'll have to say no, I already have something important to do and people are depending on me. I don't even know what your group does" Takuya said in a very mature voice.
"Pity, how about we have a drink before I return you to your friends then," Glademon suggested Takuya shrugged.
"Sure, why not" Takuya replied.
Glademon snapped a finger, moments later a Harpymon entered the room with two glasses on a tray.
"Enjoy" Glademon said taking a glass Takuya smiled and took the other glass. He took a sip and a fruity flavour entered his mouth, he quickly drank the rest.
"It was very good," he said.
The glass slipped from his hand and a short tremor went through his body, Takuya began to gasp for air and fell to the ground.
"Poor deluded child did you really think you could say no" Glademon laughed leaning over Takuya, Takuya could only glare.
"Now, you are forever mine" Glademon laughed holding up a small orange and silver necklace he forced it around Takuya form ignoring the boys struggles.
Takuya then began to scream and scream as the necklace began to scream, for as Glademon watched the necklace began to sink into his skin and vanish leaving no trace that it had been there.
Then Takuya was silent his eyes black, he fell to the floor silently.
A soft fire like glow began to surround his form Glademon smirked.
"Harpymon tell me once my new servant wakes… I have a task for him" Glademon said and began to walk away.
"Yes master" Harpymon replied.
On the floor Takuyas form began to blur and shift… into a new form.
