General Zargon: well I have finally decided to update given the fact that if I didn't the readers would hunt me down and hold a gun to my head to make me write the chapter

Ryuuketsu: what's worse is that they actually would too

General Zargon: well without further ado here is the chapter!

Disclaimer: the author does not own digimon some rich guy in Japan does

Takato woke up to find that the blackgabumon was setting some books on the in-table, Takato sat up and said "thanks a lot but don't you think that these books will be missed?" blackgabumon turned to look at Takato and said "naw the library has so many books that these won't be noticed" Takato nodded and smiled while saying "well I guess I shouldn't be surprised" they both laughed.

Takato smiled and said "hey blackgabumon would you mind if I asked you a question?" blackgabumon took notice of the nervousness in his new friends voice but nodded and Takato took a breath and said "well I just wanted to know if you could digivolve" blackgabumon blinked and puffed himself out with pride as he answered "of course! I can digivolve all the way to ultimate!" Takato smiled with relief.

Blackgabumon looked at Takato suspiciously and asked "why do you ask?" Takato shifted nervously and answered "well I was wondering if you could help me sneak outside" blackgabumon gaped at Takato and answered in disbelief "you have got to be kidding me! My lord gave you strict orders not to leave this room not to mention what he would do to me!" Takato looked down sadly.

Takato lifted his head and said "I know but it's boring just laying in bed and don't worry about nightmaremon I'll just say that I ordered you to sneak me out of here" blackgabumon shifted nervously before muttering "I just know the this is going to be a bad idea" Takato smiled in thanks.

"Blackgabumon digivolve to…….blackgarurumon!"

"Blackgarurumon digivolve to……shadowweregarurumon!"

shadowweregarurumon was a darker version of weregarurumon in terms of coloring for example, shadowweregarurumon has a black coat with white stripes and where weregarurumon had blue jeans and arm guard shadowweregarurumon had sandy yellow jeans and arm guard but other than coloration differences they looked alike for the most part.

Shadowweregarurumon carefully picked up Takato and walked out on to the balcony and took a breath then proceeded to jump off the balcony 'oh boy what have I gotten myself into?' Takato thought as he waited for the impact, there was a sudden jolt then nothing, Takato cautiously opened his eyes to see shadowweregarurumon looking down at him "uh are we still alive?" Takato asked and shadowweregarurumon smiled and nodded as they headed towards the shore.

Shadowweregarurumon carefully set Takato down on the ground and took a breath then called out "chaosseadramon!" the said digimon broke the surface and looked at them with curiosity and said "shadowweregarurumon what are you and master Takato doing here?" shadowweregarurumon sighed and said "master Takato wanted to go outside for awhile and ordered me to take him to the shore" chaosseadramon nodded and lowered his massive head to let them climb on.

Takato waved to chaosseadramon as he went back under the water then he turned to shadowweregarurumon and said "great excuse but where can we go that actually looks like things used to live there?" shadowweregarurumon laughed and took off sprinting as he answered "there is a place I know that the master would never think to look at, I think" Takato rolled his eyes and said "that's reassuring" they both laughed.

At the castle------------------------------------

Nightmaremon had been feeling uneasy for a few hours and it was starting to worry him, nightmaremon turned to shadowmon and said "tell me where is Takato?" shadowmon closed his eyes then snapped them open and said "he's not in the castle!" nightmaremon felt his blood run cold as he asked calmly "is he with anyone?" shadowmon closed his eyes again then snapped them open again and said "he's with shadowweregarurumon" nightmaremon nodded and stood up.

The digimon that were talking froze as nightmaremon stood up and said "I'll be taking a break if anyone would like to make a complaint speak now" nobody said a word as nightmaremon walked out of the room 'Takato I hope your alright' nightmaremon thought as he walked down the hall.

Elsewhere----------------------------------------------------------

Two glowing red eyes watched through a portal as Takato and shadowweregarurumon passed through a forest towards glacier falls 'they will soon enter the forest of illusions and that is where I shall take the boy' the strange being thought as he turned from the portal to one of his servants "you! I want you to go to the forest of illusions and kidnap the boy named Takato and I want him unharmed!" the servant nodded and disappeared to follow orders.
