My little hero
"Ugh, Davis, how could you let Ken get a hold of Sora again?" Matt sighed
The others had been scolding Davis for about 5 minutes now and he had just about enough of it
"Ok guys that's enough!" he shouted
"I know I messed up..." he lowered his head and mumbled
Everyone stood around Davis until Cody broke the silence
"What do we do now?" he inquired
"It's pretty late." Tai looked up at the sky that was quickly darkening
"Let's make camp and we'll search for Sora tomorrow."
"Good idea brother." Kari spoke
"Our digimon need the rest."
They all settled down, ate, and made camp. They slept around a cozy fire, well, all except for Davis. He was too overwhelmed with guilt to sleep.
"How could I be so stupid?" he muttered into the fire
He stared at the flames with a frown that soon turned into a smile
"I'll go and find her!" delighted with his idea, he slowly and silently stood up and put his shoes on
He didn't bother to wake Veemon up; he wanted to do this alone. Not knowing exactly where to go, Davis just figured he would walk north. He walked and walked for what seemed to be an eternity! He came to a stop where he noticed three sets of footprints. One set was smaller than the other two. It had more than one print per step; it had to be Wormmon's trail. The other set was bigger and sturdier, it was Ken's. The other set told a story of struggle. It was not going in one direction like the others. It made a tangled inconsistent pattern which had to be Sora trying to get away. Davis followed them to their destination. A couple of minutes into the trail, Davis reached and odd looking building which he figured was Ken's secret base.
"I guess this is it." Davis rested his hands on his waist
He went in through a small door on the side. He walked through the dark corridors, searching in every room for Sora. The dark halls soon became a maze, one that confused Davis. Luckily, he heard the faint sound of a voice in the distance that guided his way. The voice was soft and delicate; Sora's. Davis excitedly ran towards the room from which the voice came from but stopped at the entrance and peered inside.
"Please!" Sora cried
"Please...let me go." she lowered her face and let a tear run down her cheek
Wormmon watched in sorrow and pain as Ken simply ignored her cries and continued to work
"What are you going to do to her master?" Wormmon tore his eyes away from Sora
"I don't know yet." Ken chuckled
He walked over to the table that Sora was strapped to and caressed her face; wiping the fallen tear from her cheek.
"Shh, it's ok, whatever I decide to do with you, I'll make sure that it'll be quick and painless." he smirked
Davis pounded his fist against the wall
"That creep!" he hissed
"Ugh, why is he touching her? He's touching MY Sora!...uh, did I just say that?" he whispered to himself as he watched Ken evilly play with Sora's hair and gagging her mouth
"I have to do something." he took off his goggles and threw them down the hall
The goggles hit the floor with a loud clattering sound that startled both Wormmon and Ken.
"Go check that out." Ken ordered Wormmon
Wormmon headed out the door where Davis waited in the dark. He immediately grabbed the little digimon and tied him up
"Ken!" Davis was unable to stop Wormmon from shouting
Ken heard the calling and ran to the corridors. Davis his in a dark corner, waiting for Ken. When Ken stepped out, Davis retained himself from lunging at him. Instead, he let Ken run down the halls in search for the culprit. With Ken out of the way, Davis stepped inside the room and ran towards Sora.
"Sora?" he lightly shook her arm
Sora looked up. Davis had never seen a tear-stricken face look so beautiful
"Come on, we have to get out of here!" he quickly untied her
They made a run for it and got out through the same door from which Davis came in through. It was already daylight outside.
"Time to wake up!" Patamon shouted yet no one budged
"Yolie, you have to get up." Hawkmon shook Yolie
"Cody?" Armadillomon whispered in Cody's ear
"Davis? Has anyone seen Davis?" Veemon questioned
When no one answered him, he decided to call out for his partner
"Davis!" the little digimon shouted
"Davis, where are you?"
"Wuh? Davis is missing?" T.K stretched
"Oh no, I bet he went looking for Sora by himself." Kari sighed
Tai snickered as he heard Kari's reply
"Typical." he mumbled to himself
Just then, they heard Davis shouting through the woods
"You guys!" he exclaimed
"I found Sora!" Sora stepped out behind him
"Sora!" Matt ran towards her
"Are you ok?" he caressed her cheek
"I'm fine." she giggled
"Well, let's go home then." Cody smiled
"I agree, I'm hungry." Gatomon purred
Everyone packed up and headed towards the broken down t.v to go home
"You know Davis." Sora put her arm on Davis's shoulder
"I never thanked you for lending me your jacket."
"Uh, that's ok, it looks good on you!" he smiled
"I also want to thank you for saving me." she said
"You're my little hero." she gave him a kiss on the cheek
Davis was dumbfounded. He simply stood there red as a tomato.
"Come on Davis!" Tai shouted
Davis broke out of his trance and joined the group
Meanwhile, Ken and Wormmon watched them through large screens
"You know, maybe this is for the best." Ken tried thinking positive after his failed plan to get rid of Sora
Wormmon nodded in agreement and Ken turned to face someone who stood in the back, emotionless.
"Perhaps my plan will break their little group up from the inside." he smirked and the person took a step forward into the light; revealing herself to be an exact douplicate of Sora
THE END
This fic didn't really have an actual point to it. I will be writing another fic soon called "Doppelganger" which means evil twin. But before I was to write it, I decided to emphasize the origin of the evil twin, which was created in this fic by Ken. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this fic and I look forward to new reviews. Remember! Look out for my new fic; I'll be posting it up soon!
