Chapter 2
When All Hope Is Lost, Never Give Up

"Davis, did you hear something?" Ken asked pausing.

Davis glanced back at him. They had been walking for only five minutes with no sign of the others or Tai. "No. Do you think it was Tai?"

"I'm not sure," Ken answered.

Davis looked impatient. "Well, let's go see!"

"But Davis.!" Ken stammered.

Davis ignored him. "Hello? Anyone here?" Everything was dead silent. Davis turned to face Ken. "See," he began, "there's nothing.Ahhhh!!!"

"Davis!" Ken yelled running forward. Davis was struggling against Arukenimon who had wrapped her Spider Threads around him.

"Ken," Davis gasped, "run, warn the others! Hurry! Let go of me you ugly lady, err.spider, err.thing!"

Ken ran into the grove where Matt was suppose to be. He looked around. "Matt? Matt, where are you?" A noise behind him caused him to turn around. Mummymon appeared out of the gloom. Without thinking twice he ran headlong into the foliage distinctly hearing Mummymon cry out: "Necrophobia!" He ran faster than he had ever run before.

***

Sora and Mimi were turning back toward the grove having no success.

"I hope the others had more luck than we did. We didn't even see anyone!" Mimi said.

Sora wasn't listening. "Be quiet Mimi!" she snapped, "Someone's coming."

"What?"

"Quiet!"

Suddenly Ken burst though the undergrowth.

"Ken?" exclaimed Sora and Mimi.

"Where's Davis?" Mimi asked.

Ken stood breathing heavily; his hands on his knees, "Arukenimon.she got Davis.I think she has. Tai and.Matt also," he gasped.

Sora and Mimi looked at each other in alarm. "WHAT?!" they yelled.

"What's Kari going to say?" Mimi pondered.

"Are Kari and the others safe? Mummymon is helping Arukenimon as well. He came after me and I barely escaped in one piece!" Ken replied.

"We better look for them!" Sora said.

***

"Look who I caught," Arukenimon bragged as she entered the lair dragging Davis along with her, "though that brat, Ken, got away."

Owikawa shook with rage. "YOU LET KEN ESCAPE!!!!! HE'LL GO TELL THE OTHERS AND THEY'LL BE ON THE LOOK OUT!!!!! NOW WE CAN'T DO SURPISE ATTACKS ON THEM!!!!!" he screamed.

"I sent Mummymon after him! It's not my fault!" she yelled back at him.

"Look at you two. Fighting like children," Lucemon chuckled, "It's very amusing."

***

Matt was listening at the door. "Damn," he muttered.

"What is it?" Tai asked.

"They've got Davis," Matt replied.

"Great," Tai moaned, "What else?"

"Ken escaped," Matt answered.

Tai brightened, "Well, there's some good news!"

***

"Put him over there. No! Not there, you idiot! Over there!" Lucemon berated Arukenimon. Mummymon shuffled in. Owikawa turned to him.

"Well, where's Ken?"

"He.a.he.well.I couldn't catch him, sir," he stammered.

"WHAT!!!!" Owikawa exploded, "HE'S A KID!!!! A LITTLE KID!!!!"

Mummymon cringed. "He's fast for a kid!" he whimpered.

"GO OUT THERE AND BRING HIM BACK AND ANYONE HE'S WITH!!!!!!!! ARUKENIMON, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING? GET OUT THERE WITH HIM!!" Owikawa screamed. Both ran as fast as they could.

***

Davis sat up and rubbed the back of head where he had landed.

"Davis?"

Davis looked up in surprise. "TG? Cody? They got you too?"

"Yeah, and the name is TK," TK said annoyed, "Matt's here and I'm guessing that Tai's here too. We haven't been able to communicate though."

"Is anyone else here?" Davis asked ignoring the fact that he had messed up on TK's name again.

"I don't think so," Cody replied, "though there planning to capture not only us but some other kids. They call a group of them Tamers and there's another group, we think."

TK looked at Davis, "Where's Ken? He was your partner, wasn't he?"

"Yeah, he managed to escape."

TK and Cody smiled. "Well, there's hope after all," TK said. Davis stared at him curiously. It looked as though TK glowed for second. He shook his head. 'That's impossible,' he told himself.

***

Ken, Sora, and Mimi split up. They each ran in different directions to cover more ground.

Ken ran off to find Izzy and Joe, Mimi to find TK and Cody, and Sora in search of Kari and Yolei.

Ken jogged though the woods calling out, "Izzy! Joe!" Soon he ran out of breath. He stopped and leaned against a tree. Suddenly someone grabbed his right arm and twisted it behind his back. He cried out in alarm.

Izzy and Joe, who weren't to far away, heard the cry. They hurried to where Mummymon had hold of Ken.

"What is.?" Izzy stood staring. Joe on the other hand got into in action. Grabbing Ken's free arm, he punched Mummymon in the face. He pulled Ken away from him only to turn around and see Izzy gone. All of a sudden they were enveloped by a thick net.

"Mummymon, take these two. I'll take this one," Arukenimon appeared from behind a tree smirking with Izzy in a vice grip.

***

Mimi sat down completely worn out. "Where have they gone? They should be around here."

She laid her head back against a tree. She gasped at what she saw and screamed.

***

Sora had run into Kari and Yolei. She was in the midst of telling them about Arukenimon and Mummymon when a scream pierced the air.

"That must be Mimi!" Sora exclaimed. They started running toward the sound. Suddenly Yolei, who had been in the lead, stopped.

"What is it?" Kari asked.

"It's Owikawa! And he's got Mimi!" Yolei answered.

"What?!" Kari and Sora shouted in unison.

Owikawa looked at them. A smile slowly started to spread across his ghostly features. Then he started to laugh.

"What's he laughing at?" Kari wondered allowed.

Yolei turned to glance at her and whispered to Kari, "Kari, turn around!"

Kari spun around. "Sora!" she shouted. Sora was being held captive by an angel type digimon.

"Wh-Who are you?" Kari asked cautiously.

"My name is Lucemon, and I made it possible for those weaklings to capture you," he said.

"Watch who you're calling weaklings Lucemon," Owikawa growled dangerously.

Yolei looked terrified. Kari was as white as a ghost. "B-but why?" Kari whispered.

Lucemon looked at them, "Digidestined have ruined my plans before so I shall not have one digidestined free to do it again. You all must be punished for putting your nose where it doesn't belong. Especially you, Hikari," at this he spat angrily on the ground and continued, "you, the owner of the crest of light and another, the spirit of light. Also a few others who have not been loyal enough to the darkness."

"Y-you mean K-Ken!" Yolei stammered.

Lucemon looked thoughtful for a moment, "Yes, I believe he is one of them, but anyway, back to business."

Yolei whimpered. Kari backed away. Lucemon nodded his head and Owikawa kicked a stone which held a rope underneath it. A heavy net toppled down on them.

***

"Now that we have all the digidestined from this time, now we are going to catch the Legendary Warriors. Remember they can digivolve themselves. They don't need a digimon partner," Lucemon explained to Owikawa, Arukenimon, and Mummymon. "I'll make the portal and stay here to keep it open. You're on your own."

***

Tai and Matt looked at each other each with a grim expression on their faces.

Sora comforted a crying Mimi.

Izzy shook his head at Joe sadly.

Ken kept silent.

Yolei and Kari held on to each other.

TK sighed.

Cody looked around terrified.

Davis whispered, "We'll get out of here, I promise."

***

Owikawa, Arukenimon, and Mummymon leapt into a portal held open by Lucemon. They walked into the darkness of the digiworld. Nearby a group of kids, one with goggles named Takuya, two kids who were twins named Kouji and Kouichi, the youngest kid named Tommy, a girl named Zoe, and the oldest of the group named JP, slept peacefully except one. Kouji lay awake staring at the stars. It was he who heard the noise in the forest surrounding them. "So these are the digidestined that gave Lucemon so much trouble."
