Thank you so much for all your reviews! Sorry, the Tamers come in the next
chapter.
Hitomi No Ryu: To be truthful, I do think that Owikawa (aka Myotismon) and Lucemon could defeat the Tamers. I mean it took basically 10 digimon with the power of megas to defeat Lucemon and Myotismon was only destroyed by . . . like every kid with a digivice in the entire world. So yeah, I think it's possible. But don't worry; they won't get capture that easy.
GemmaniGirl: Thanks for your review. As for Bokomon, Neemon, and Patamon, I have no idea where they disappeared off to. They never really take part, or even show up, in this story/fic/dream/what ever you wanna call it.
Disclaimer: I don't own any part of digimon, sadly.
Chapter 4
The Portal
"Where do you think they went?" Kouichi asked his brother.
Kouji glanced at him. "Not sure, but wherever they are, we should be prepared."
Kouichi nodded in reply. Something moved behind him. Kouichi spun around. Owikawa stood there smiling at them.
"Well, I see you helped your brother. How touching," he sneered.
Kouji turned around too. "Not this time!" he growled.
"Execute! Spirit Evolution!"
"Lobomon!"
"Lowemon!"
"Lowemon, you keep watch for his companions, I'll take care of him!" Lobomon snarled. Lowemon nodded in reply.
"That won't be necessary," Owikawa whispered.
Lobomon turned to look at him. "And why is that?"
"Necrophobia!"
"Kouji, look out!" Lowemon shouted dodging out of the way. Lobomon ducked and managed to stay clear of the attack.
"Acid Mist!"
"LoboKendle!"
"Endlich Meteor!"
Owikawa watched them fight. Taking out bottle of red liquid, he uncorked it and spread the contents on the ground around the battle. All of a sudden the fighting ceased. No one could move. They were frozen, all of them, Mummymon, Arukenimon, Lowemon, and Lobomon. Owikawa muttered a few words and Mummymon and Arukenimon transformed back into their human forms. Lobomon and Lowemon also turned back into their regular human forms. Owikawa made a motion with his hand and they could move again. Mummymon grabbed Kouji and Arukenimon took hold of Kouichi.
"Well, that's the last of the digidestined from this place. All that is left are the Tamers," Owikawa chuckled, "Take them away!"
***
Izzy was looking through the grating. "Ohh great," he moaned.
Joe, who happened to be next to him asked, "What is it Izzy?"
"Owikawa just brought in two more kids," he replied.
Tai walked over. He saw the look on Izzy's face. "Is something wrong?"
Joe nodded, "The other two that Zoe told us about were just brought in."
Tai sighed and walked back to where Sora, Mimi, and Matt were talking to the kids in the next cell.
***
TK stood and watched Mummymon drag Kouji and Kouichi to the cell containing the last kids they had brought in. He caught Kouichi's eye and suddenly couldn't contain his anger.
"MUMMYMON!" he roared, "LET THEM GO!"
Mummymon was so startled at the outburst that he stopped and loosened his grasp on Kouji and Kouichi. Taking advantage of the moment Kouji twisted around and escaped. He kicked out and sent Mummymon flying. Arukenimon and Owikawa arrived. Kouichi punched Owikawa square in the face. Kouji pushed him into the wall next to where TK was standing peering through the grating. TK grabbed Owikawa by his collar and held him fast. Kouji turned and stopped. Arukenimon had hold Kouichi. She held him in a vice grip, crushing his lungs. He was desperately gasping for air. Suddenly something hit Arukenimon in the temple, knocking her unconscious. TK glanced at the floor. Matt's old harmonica was lying there. He looked up. Matt was standing at the door of his cell with his arm hanging partially out of the grating.
Matt yelled Kouji, "Get the key!"
Kouji ran over to where TK was holding Owikawa and retrieved the key from his coat pocket. Turning he unlocked the cell in which Matt was still standing at the door. Then, with Tai and Matt holding down Owikawa, Kouji unlocked TK's door and moved onto where his friends were. Mummymon stood up.
"I will make you pay for what you did to Arukenimon! Snake Bendings!"
Kouichi grabbed Kouji's legs making him fall to the floor. Unfortunately the key flew out of his hand. Joe had pulled Kari back into a cell to avoid the attack.
Ken looked out of his own cell from where he had ducked into for cover. The only people that had managed to escape the attack were Kouji and Kouichi, Kari, Joe, Tai, Matt, and himself.
Lucemon walked in. "The portal is ready . . . What has been going on?!"
Takuya peered out of the grating and yelled at Kouji and Kouichi, "Get out of here! Go! Save yourselves!"
"But-"
"GO!"
Kouji grabbed Kouichi, pulling him past Lucemon. Joe took hold of Kari and Ken and ran.
"Wait!" Kari said desperately, "What about the others!"
Tai and Matt still had a hold on Owikawa. Tai looked his sister in the eye.
"Kari, get out of here! We'll take care of everything. I promise!"
Kari nodded and was hurried around Lucemon. Lucemon snarled. He muttered some undistinguishable words. Tai, Matt, and all the other kids froze, unable to move.
"I'll deal with you later," he said. Then he went after the ones that had escaped.
***
Kouichi ran into a huge cavern like room. He stared. It was amazing! His brother came to a halt right next to him. He could hear Kouji gasp. The dimly lit room was at least three to four stories high. Pure gold carvings decorated the walls. They were of digimon! Kouichi realized.
Ken jogged up to them. "W-we need to.Whoa!" he stammered. He turned in a full circle, taking it all in. Something in the far corner caught his eye. "Look!" he pointed, "That must be the portal!" Kouji and Kouichi glanced over at it. It was a violet-bluish color. It swirled slowly, mixing the two colors. Joe suddenly came rushing in with Kari right behind him.
"What are you doing?! We need to get out of here NOW!!" Joe shouted.
"Lucemon is-" Kari began. Then she screamed. Lucemon appeared in front of them.
"This way!" Ken yelled darting toward the portal. Everyone followed.
Lucemon laughed. "I don't think so, children! GRAND CROSS!" Kouichi saw the attack head straight for the girl and his brother. Without thinking of his own safety he pushed both of them out of the way, taking full force of the attack instead. Kouichi felt it pierce his skin. He gasped with pain as he fell into darkness.
"KOUICHI!! NO!!!"
***
Ken opened his eyes and moaned. He raised his head only to bang forcefully on some metal compartment just above him. He laid there for a few minutes recovering what had happened before he had woken up. He remembered hearing Lucemon attack them.then there must've been an explosion! Frantic again, Ken sat up, forgetting about the metal thing just above his head. He winced as his head collided with it making two huge bruises plus a cut on the back of his head where he had fallen earlier. He hit the floor again and sighed. He laid there, then cautiously, avoiding the compartment, heaved himself up and for the first time could get his bearings. A couple of feet away was Joe. He was standing up and apparently didn't notice Ken. He took off running across the room.
Ken sighed and looked back at the metal compartment nearly hidden from view. He examined it more closely and gasped with shock.
***
Kari slowly came aware that she was lying on hard, cold stone. She opened her eyes, but immediately them shut tight as a wave of dizziness swept over her. In the time that it took to pass, Kari noticed that someone was staring at her.
"Who's there?" she managed to whisper.
Kari froze as the one voice she would've hated to hear right now answered with a small chuckle, "Guess."
She struggled into sitting position, leaning against the wall for support. She turned to look at the owner of the haunting voice.
"Lucemon," she choked as another wave of dizziness hit her. When it ended she realized that her right arm was the cause for it. It was soaked with blood. She quickly covered it with her hand and tried to prevent the blood flow. Then she focused on what Lucemon was saying.
"-not bad for a little girl. Who would've thought that you and that boy pose such a threat that I have to result to destroying you permanently?"
"B-but why? I d-don't even kn-know you! W-what did my friends and I-I ever do to y-you?" she stammered.
Lucemon wrinkled his face in disgust. "Do? The Chosen Children, or Digidestined, are obstacles in my way to world domination! They are the only ones able to stand in my way. If I could capture and destroy them, then the world shall be mine! And the two people that have the ability to destroy the darkness is the cursed light!" he recoiled as he mentioned the name, then recovered, and continued, "And of course you know who those two people are, don't you, Hikari Kamiya?
At the mention of her name Kari jerked back to what Lucemon was saying, for she had been looking at something over his shoulder.
"W-what?! How d-did you."
"I know many things, Hikari. More than even you do. Like for an instance Kouji Minamoto is the second person I was talking about. Another example is that he is standing exactly 3 feet behind me."
Kari gasped in shock as Kouji, who had indeed been sneaking up on Lucemon, gave a low growl of disappointment and rapidly grabbed a piece of debris and slammed it forcefully along side of Lucemon's face. Lucemon turned his head to look at Kouji and grinned. He in return punched Kouji in the face. Kouji fell to the ground. Before he could recover Lucemon grabbed by his collar and slammed him into the wall. Kouji grunted and managed to bring his foot up to kick Lucemon's chest enabling him to get free.
Kari sat holding her arm when Lucemon fell near her. He stood up and addressed Kouji.
"Not bad for an amateur. Let's see how good you'll be when I have a human shield."
Lucemon seized Kari. She let out a shriek whether from pain or terror she couldn't say.
Kouji narrowed his eyes. "Let her go, Lucemon."
Lucemon smiled coldly. "Now why would I do that? After all, she is also a bearer of light; I could destroy her right now." Lucemon tightened his grasp on her. Kari let out a strangled gasp as he slowly crushed the oxygen out of her lungs.
For some reason Kouji got into a fighting stance. Lucemon looked at him surprised loosening his grip on Kari. Kouji raced toward Lucemon and Kari. Suddenly Lucemon gave a startling cry and fell to the floor. Kouji caught Kari before she hit the floor.
Joe appeared from behind Lucemon breathing heavily.
"Is everyone alright?" he asked.
"I'm fine," Kouji answered, "But I'm not so sure about her." Kouji held Kari steady. She was really pale and breathing shallow.
"We need to get out of here now," Joe said coming over to check Kari's arm. He glanced at Kouji. "Your shoulder looks pretty bad." Kouji's right shoulder was dark with blood that had soaked through the cloth of his shirt and coat.
"It's nothing. Where are the others?" Kouji asked urgently.
Joe took out a white handkerchief and tied it around Kari's arm. "They must be somewhere around here." He turned to Kouji. "You take Kari and get out of here. I'll find the rest." Joe ran away from the portal leaving Kouji and a semi-conscious Kari. Kouji started to walk toward the portal having Kari lean on him. He was worried about Kouichi. He had pushed him and this girl, Kari was what the other kid called her, out of the way of Lucemon's attack. He even saw his brother's body go limp and feverishly hoped that he had just been unconscious. After the explosion he had woken up with a couple of bruises, cuts, and a gash on his shoulder. Fortunately it was shallow even if it was long and wide.
They were almost there, with Kouji having some difficulty though Kari was managing better, when Kari shifted a little. Kouji stopped and was about to ask if anything was wrong when she said, "Look." Kouji turned his gaze to see what she was referring to. He gasped. His brother, Kouichi, lay in front of the portal face-down on the floor.
"Kouichi!" Kouji cried aloud. He almost dropped Kari in his haste to get to his brother. They finally made it over. Kouji gently set Kari down and then rushed to Kouichi. He shook him, saying his name, but he didn't reply. He was deathly white and his skin was cold to the touch. Kouji tried to feel for a pulse. He got nothing.
Kari crawled over to them. She put her hand in front of Kouichi's nose and waited for a minute. Kouji watched as tears came unbidden to his eyes.
"Is he.?" he asked.
Kari concentrated for a moment then sighed with relief. "He's alive!" She turned and smiled at Kouji. For a moment Kouji looked as though he'd throw himself on her and hug her with joy but he held himself in check.
"Do you think you can stand by yourself?" Kouji asked Kari setting his brother in sitting position. Kari didn't answer. Kouji glanced at her and found her back toward him. He looked over her shoulder.
"Oh no . . ."
Joe and Ken were running toward them followed closely by Lucemon. And Lucemon looked mad.
"GO!" shouted Joe as he tried to keep up with Ken.
Kouji started to help Kari when she stopped him. "Help him first. If Lucemon gets him he won't stand a chance."
Kouji nodded and picked up the limp form of his brother. He took a deep breath, shut his eyes, and leapt into the portal.
A bird twittered and warm sunshine lit Kouji's face. He opened his eyes and looked around. He had entered in a small glade surrounded by trees on three sides and a fence on the fourth. There was a dirt path by the fence as well. Kouji turned around and saw the portal just behind him. He propped Kouichi up against a tree concealed from view. Then he stepped back through the portal.
When he came threw he saw Kari on Joe's back and he was running toward the portal. Unfortunately Lucemon had cornered Ken who was gamely dodging Lucemon's attacks clutching a metal box to his chest. Joe passed Kouji and paused long enough to say "Get Ken!" and then he jumped into the portal.
"GIVE ME THAT BOX!" yelled an angered Lucemon. He tried to extract it telepathically but something seemed to stop him. Kouji snuck behind Lucemon and motioned to Ken to throw the box to him. Ken nodded and threw it with surprising accuracy. Kouji caught it while Ken slipped past Lucemon who had turned to see where the box had fallen.
"You!" Lucemon said giving Kouji a hefty kick.
"Ahh," he cried softly as a jagged stick ripped through his shirt, jabbing him in his injured shouldered. Through the pain he came up with an idea. Grabbing the stick he threw the metal container at Ken, whom was waiting at the portal's entrance. Ken caught it and while Lucemon was preoccupied with the sudden movement Kouji started running then used the stick was a vaulting pole and collided with Ken pushing them both through portal and into the waiting sunlight.

So how was it? I think is my favorite chapter of all so far. The next one is kinda boring but you get to meet all the Tamers so I guess that makes up for it. Also a little note of wise: From this point on I'm not going by my dream. My dream ended with the Tamers getting caught too and (this is really, really freaky) all the kids being moved to different cells. And I think it was Tommy that got the metal box, not Ken. Anyway they were like about to kill Kari and Kouji and scan Ken's dark spore (like in the TV show) when Tommy and some others (forgot who) got the digimon with whatever's in the box and it ends with all the digivices they manage to get back being scattered across the world which I find a pretty lame ending. So for now on I'm going to be making this up as I go.
Hitomi No Ryu: To be truthful, I do think that Owikawa (aka Myotismon) and Lucemon could defeat the Tamers. I mean it took basically 10 digimon with the power of megas to defeat Lucemon and Myotismon was only destroyed by . . . like every kid with a digivice in the entire world.
