Escape
In the Digimon Emperor's secret base...
Sora, still handcuffed, glared at Ken who sat in his usual chair, patrolling the digital world through his large screens
"What do you want from me?" she shouted in fury
"Don't shout." Ken calmly stated, ignoring her question
He snapped his fingers at Wormmon who took it as a sign to come forward
"Put her on the table." he ordered
Wormmon nodded and walked towards Sora
"Please do as he says, I don't want him to get angry at me or you." he whispered with sad eyes
Sora felt pity and agreed to do as she was told. She was strapped to a table with lights shining on her. There was a laser at one end of the table that traveled along her body; scanning every bit of DNA and information about her. Sora closed her eyes tightly as the laser moved up and down.
"Done." Ken spoke to himself
"Un-strap her and put the cuffs back on." he ordered as he left the room
Wormmon proceeded to do as he was told
"Please, help me escape." Sora pleaded
Wormmon looked up at her with sorrow
"Ok." he smiled
With Davis and Veemon...
Davis and Veemon found themselves walking through a deserted village. Well, they were more like dragging themselves; dehydration had the upper hand.
"Can't...go...on...hmph!" Veemon collapsed
"Come one Veemon, we have to find Sora." Davis sighed
They walked and walked until they found themselves in the woods
"Well, at least there's shade." Davis rested his hands on his hips
"And water!" Veemon added, running to the spring nearby
Taking advantage of the situation, they raided the spring of its refreshing liquid
Back in Ken's secret base...
Wormmon and Sora traveled along the dark hallways of the base, searching for a way out
"I can't let you go out through the front, it's too risky." Wormmon spoke
Sora nodded and followed his trail
"You know, you didn't have to put the cuffs back on if you were going to let me escape anyway." Sora struggled with the tight grip the cuffs had around her wrists
"But my master was watching. I was planning to take them off once he left, but he took the keys." Wormmon defended himself
"Ok...let's just find a way out...fast!" she hurried along the corridors
"Wait!" Wormmon stopped in his tracks
"I'll simply create a distraction so you can escape through the front."
"The front? I thought it was too risky, isn't there another way out?" Sora sighed
"Another way out is what we've been looking for, and as you can see...we haven't found another way out!" he shot back
"Just stay here." he disappeared into a dark room
"Ken?" he shyly asked
"What do you want?" Ken rudely replied
"Uh, I think I saw the other kids on one of the screens."
"Show me." Ken followed Wormmon back to the control room
As they turned the corner, Wormmon gave Sora the signal to head to the door
"Well, where are they?" Ken grew impatient
"I saw them there a minute ago." Wormmon stalled
"Ugh, I don't have time for this." Ken turned his heal, heading out the door
Wormmon frantically searched for a way to distract him. He saw a cup of water beside the controls and knew exactly what to do with it
"Oops...master!" Wormmon faked urgency
"Argh! What did you do?"
Sora made a run for it. As she passed by, she saw Ken fuming over the controls and Wormmon giving her an encouraging smile. She got out and headed for the woods.
'How am I going to get out of these cuffs?' she pondered as she ran
It wasn't long before Ken gained full operation over his controls again
"There...don't you ever touch them again!" he glared at Wormmon
He checked every screen to see if everything was all right and in doing so, he spotted Sora running
"What? She escaped!" he slammed his fist on the desk
