Chapter 14He watches as Omi races pass with Kimie hot on his heels. Omi's comment about Kimie losing her singing voice got Omi in hot water. He just couldn't stop himself from grinning like a mad man. He watches as Shade talks to Vicky about Wolf's Rain. Vicky favorite character off of that show is Tsume. His favorite, when push came to shove, was Hige. Omi and Kimie like Toboe. Shade likes Kiba, the white wolf. They all like to watch all the DVDs at once. They wouldn't be able to do that this time, though. They were heading back home tonight.
He stops grinning and feels bad that this would be that last time they'd all be together. He looks at Chaos, who is by his left side. "I'm going miss you and Shade." He whispers. Chaos turns an ear in his direction. He continues, "I don't know what life will be like without Shade being grumpy or you rolling onto your back and letting me pet your belly. I just don't want you guys to leave…" He drifts off and Chaos turns to look at him.
He snaps out of his thoughts when a familiar looking Digimon drops out of the tree closest to where Shade and Vicky were. As the red Digimon gets up, he also gets up and heads to the kid looking Digimon. It looks like Flamon decided to drop in. "What are you doing here?" He asks the red haired rookie. Flamemon gets up and answers, "Huh, didn't want to be away from you." Flamemon answers cheerfully. He just groans as Omi and Kimie stop running around and were now watching this exchange.
He just sighs and then thinks about something. He then asks, "How come you came like this?" Flamemon sighs and answers, "This is my rookie form. I thought it better to travel around as Flamemon then as Agunimon. I also knew that you guys would head for the park at very quickly. So I just waited around." He just stares at the grinning Flamemon. He looks at Chaos and could see that Chaos seems disappointed about something.
So Omi says, "I didn't know you went that way, cousin." Flamemon and him turn and give Omi a glare. Then finds Vicky's mouth open. It was Kimie that says, "You know? You sound just like Takuya…" He finds Vicky and Omi nodding in agreement. Shade just sighs and looks from Flamemon and him to the sad looking Chaos.
Flamemon then greets the others, "Hey! I'm Flamemon, I know everyone of you from Takuya. It's nice to meet his favorite bunch of cousins, though Shade and I have already meet." Vicky recovers and asks, "How do you know Shade and Takuya?" The others were coming closer to where they were. He glances at Shade; he sees that Shade's thinking about something. But he then says, "I meet him on Shinya's birthday." His blood relatives all just look at him and Omi says, "Ok, there must be a really juicy story behind this. He's dressed up in a costume and just decides to come here today and meet us? I smell blackmail in the near future."
He doesn't get a chance to respond for suddenly Shade yells, "We got to get moving! Takuya, he's back!" He doesn't think about how Shade knows that or about why that Digimon would come after them. He just begins to run through the trees. He can hear his cousins and Flamemon following. He then sees a large tree land a good four feet to his right. Flamon soon runs by his side and asks, "Shouldn't we be attacking?" He answers as he runs, "I … think … letting … Shade … do … the … thinking … right … now … be … a good … idea." He hears Chaos yell, "Plus there are other people in that part of the park!" "Did … Chaos … just talk?" Kimie asks. "Yip! Flamon … and … Chaos are … Digimon. Talk later, run now!" He yells. "Fine … by me!" Omi yells back.

She sighs as she looks at her partner and then at Davis. They were playing a game of Poker and that includes the Digimon playing too. She notices that Agunimon is missing. But then Kari shows her hand. The cards were three jakes, king, and a ten. Davis growls at seeing Kari's hand. "You won!" Kari smiles sweetly and says, "But it's just a game. No need to get upset!" Everyone around the table smirks at Davis's expense. She looks to watch as Beetlemon reshuffles the cards. Then deals them out, first to Veemon, then to Ken, then to Kumamon, then to her, then to Kari, then to Davis, and then finally to himself.
They all throw a chip into the pool. She then looks at her cards, there was two threes, a four, a king, and then a nine. She then decides to open the betting. "I open with a yellow chip." She tosses a yellow chip into the pool of chips. Then Kari just calls the bet, so does Davis, but Beetlemon raises the bet. "I raise two green chips to your yellow chip." Beetlemon says and throws on the yellow chip with two green ones. Veemon folds, Ken calls, and Kumamon just calls. She just calls, Kari folds, and Davis calls.
She asks for two cards, discarding the four and the nine. Luck was on her side, for she got a king and another three. She waits for everyone to finish, then just calls the bet. It was Ken opens the betting. "Five blue chips." Ken says and throws five blue chips onto the pool. Kumamon folds and so does Beetlemon. She just calls it and then they show their cards. She grins as she takes the pool.
It was as Veemon shuffles the deck, that she decides to ask something, "Where's Agunimon?" Kumamon shifts his weight a bit. Then sighs and says, "He when to go check up on Shade and Takuya. But, he wasn't Agunimon when I last saw him, though." She looks surprised at that. "Then as what did he go out as?" She asks. "As Flamemon." Kumamon says. Beetlemon laughs a bit at that. Then stops when Beetlemon notices how serious Kumamon was. They all look at the two Legendary Warriors that they were playing poker with. Kumamon then explains, "Flamemon is Agunimon's rookie form. We each have one, but their usually locked. We don't know how or why, but Agunimon's is unlocked. So, right now, Flamemon is running around. As Flamemon, Agunimon looks about Takuya's height and has flaming red hair and a bushy red tail. Also, he has these knobs for horns and long pointed ears. Green eyes with markings under each eye. On his chest, Flamemon has this marking on his right side. He doesn't have anything covering his upper body. He has two black belts connected. Red shorts and large feet. One each hand, he has gloves on. So, I think if anyone sees Flamemon, they'll think that he's a kid in a costume." They all just stare at Kumamon and then she wonders if now is a good time to go look for Chaos.
"I think I'll go out for a while." She says. The others, but Davis, just sigh and nod. Davis not getting it asks, "Why? It's not like something bad is going to happen."
As if just to spite Davis, Yolei comes running into the kitchen area. "That Digimon's back! He's in the park! There are reports that say that his chasing six kids with a dog!" They all just blink and then they all when pale. "O no." Ken groans. They soon watch as the others all show up in the living room and begin getting ready to go. She hopes that Chaos is alright.

He runs behind the group consisting of his distant cousins, Flamemon, and Chaos. He can hear Arkadimon in his mind. 'I'll make you suffer, little light. I shall enjoy tearing your loved ones in front of you! If you hand over the keys, I'll just leave.' He closes his eyes and can fill the humming in his chest. Arkadimon had gotten stronger in the last few days. He didn't want to even think about it. He knows that nobody else was hearing Arkadimon. Arkadimon just wants him to hear him. He really wants this to be over, but with his cousin here, it wasn't such a good idea.
He notices that Kimie trips and he stops to pick her up. Chaos then turns and then uses his Shadow Bite on Arkadimon. This sends Arkadimon into the closest tree. Chaos then positions himself between Kimie and him from Arkadimon. The others stop and he can hear Vicky says, "This is getting old fast. Isn't there a faster way to run away?" He sighs and takes out his D-3. "Go for it, Chaos." Chaos turns and then nods in agreement.
Chaos begins to glow and then where stood a ChaosPupmon was a large red and black wolf Digimon. He then helps Kimie to Chaos's side and helps her get on. Kimie looks scared, but Chaos says, "I'm ok. I won't harm any of you." Kimie calms down and nods. Kimie then grabs a hold of Chaos's fur. Then the others, but Flamemon, get on too. Then Chaos turns and races away from Arkadimon, while Flamemon takes to the trees.
"This is much better! Thanks Chaos." Omi says. "Don't mention it." Was Chaos's reply. "Train station, right?" Takuya asks. "Right." He answers. "Why are we going to a train station?" Kimie asks. "We're heading to a special one. It's where I first went to the Digital World with some friends. It's also where Flamemon came to this world too. It seems to be some kind of gateway." Takuya answers. "So, what happens when we get there?" Vicky asks. "We try to open a gate." He answers in a matter of fact tone. "How do we do that?" Omi asks. "Just believe that you can, and it'll happen." He answers. "Kind of a mind over matter thing, right?" Vicky asks after thinking about it. "Yea." He says.
They soon exist the park and onto the street. Flamemon begins to use the building roofs as a means to travel. The good news was they could move quickly, before Chaos gets tired, but the bad news was that Arkadimon could see them clearly. Therefore Chaos had to worry about attacks from Arkadimon.
They soon find themselves very close to the right station and Flamemon then jumps of the roof of the building on to a tree and then onto he street. They get off of Chaos and Chaos then transforms back into ChaosPupmon. Then they race inside, he can hear Arkadimon laugh in his mind.
They reach a dead end and Flamemon and Chaos take up spots in front of the group. He looks at Arkadimon as he gets closer, then he focuses his mind on wishing for a gate to take them away from here. A gate opens and he says, "Get through it!" They all enter it and he takes one look at Arkadimon before entering it. He could see the rage in Arkadimon's eyes.
They float around in a black void. "Ok, now what?" Takuya asks him. "Why not you tell your story and I'll come up with something?" He says. They all just nod and soon Takuya begins to tell Omi, Kimie, and Vicky about his adventures. He begins to think as hard as he can. He didn't know how he opened that gate, only that he wised for one and it was there. His live just keeps getting more and more complicated.

They watch as a light appears at the train station. They then begin to look around the place. They only found an enraged Arkadimon. She feels that energy that once was there, still burn bright. She took it as a sign that, where ever they were, Chaos and them were fine. But they now had to handle an enraged Digimon, hell bent on destroying something. Which was a mixed blessing.
