Chapter 9-Part 2

Grady and Gavin entered a room at the end of the hall. It was a Kitchen combined with a living room. "Sweet, 'bout time we found something!" Gavin said. Gavin ran over to the living room while Grady checked all the doors in the room. "Hey, Elecmon," Grady addressed his partner. "Is it just me, or do you feel like we're being watched."
"You're going crazy again," Gavin interrupted. "Like Karina said, there is nothing wrong with this house."
"I don't know Gavin, I kind of agree with him," Meramon replied to him. "This place does seem a little strange."
"Well," Grady started as he opened another door. "At least I have one agreement, better than nuh…." He stopped in mid-sentence and stood still as he stared at a floating ghost. "Gav," He started, pointing to the ghost.
"Oh what is it…" he stopped his sentence as he saw what Grady wanted him to see.
Grady slammed the door in its face and stood in front of it. "Don't worry," Elecmon said. "There just Bakemon."
"Great, it nice that there are GHOST digimon!" As Grady said this, 3 more fazed into the room along with the original one passing through the wall. Grady screamed and ran over to Gavin side of the room. "Just fine, huh!" Grady nearly shouted at him
"Oh, you can't be serious," Gavin said. He and Meramon walked right over to them and transformed to fight. The same flaming warrior replaced them both as he stood ready to fight. The Bakemon slowly surrounded him, inching closer towards him.
As this was happening, Grady said to himself, "Man, I can't let him fight them by himself. The least I could do is half the odds." Grady ran up and transformed as well.
"Well, looks like you snapped out of your fearful phase."
"I've known you too long to let you fight for real with these odds."
"Then we better get started."

"Jeez, this place is like a mansion," Luna said. "This must be the 10th room we've looked through."
"Actually, it's the 13th," Waterscythemon interrupted her aloud thoughts. The Group had been checking rooms for a place to sleep for the night. So far, they haven't even found a bedroom yet.
"GRRR! So many rooms and not one to sleep in!" Karina growled. "So much for finding a place to sleep."
"Well, this is the last one in the hall, maybe we'll get lucky here," Luna said. She opened it and everyone gasped and the horrid sight. Luna gave a deer-in-the-headlights stare, Will and Waterscythemon near hurled, Harpymon's and Lightscythemon's left eyes started to twitch. Karina was the only one who wasn't paralyzed in fear. She walked in, and she gazed at the walls. Partially in amazement, and partially in fear. Every one of the walls was covered in a dried, black substance. But on some parts it was read. As she examined it more closely, she realized it was blood. "Guys," Karina said, her voice shaking in well-explained fear. "Maybe Grady was right about this place."
"I say we get back to the others," Harpymon stated. "Now!"

Chris and his team were doing the same thing as Luna's, looking for a place to sleep. They were lucky enough to find two rooms before anything freaky. All of them where headed back to the meeting point. Biyomon stroke up a conversation. "Do you think that boy Grady has gone crazy yet?" This question surprised the other four and everyone stopped.
"Well, I don't know," Cerberumon stated.
"That's pretty obvious," Gotsumon blurted out. Cerberumon shot him a cold look and growled before turning back forward.
"Ask him," Chris simply stated. "You'll get an answer."
"You know, you don't seem to talk to much," Luci stated. "Why is that?"
"For reasons the are too scary to explain." Chris started walking again, and after a few seconds, everyone followed.

Gavin's team wasn't faring so well. Gavin was out of commission due to the fact that he was knocked out of his form and injured too much to fight. Meramon and Grady were still fighting though, but losing. They couldn't land a hit on them, but them were beating them to a pulp. 'Crap,' Grady thought, 'we're losing. What do they want?'
'You think I know!' He heard Elecmon say.
'I wasn't asking-,' "Urgh" He got slammed with an evil charm attack and knocked out of his form as well. The Bakemon stopped attacking and headed for Grady. Each one grabbed a limb and lifted him to the air. Elecmon tried to stop them with a 'super thunder strike', but they all disappeared before it hit.
"No…" Elecmon sighed in defeat.
"Mera….mon," Gavin grunted out. "Get…..the others. Elecmon, go…..with him."
"Are you-," Meramon tried to say.
"JUST GO!"

Grady awakened in a dark room. He wasn't restrained anything, so he stood up and took a look around the room. As his eyes scan the room, he noticed a light coming from a few TVs with an outline of a figure illuminated by the light. "I see you are awake, little one," The figure said to him, "Now the test may begin."
"What test?" Grady queried. As soon as the words left his mouth, the room illuminated with many torches.
"To see if you can use the beast." The figure reminded him of some sort of mythical dragon, mostly of a wyvern, except for the large brown arm.
He just stared until he felt disoriented.
"Sight a bit fuzzy?" The creature said. "Do not worry, it will all be over soon."
Grady didn't know what he was talking about until he caught a glimpse of his hand. He watched in horror as his skin was quickly overtaken by scales.
"Well, look who it is," Luci said. "Is anything wrong?"
"No…talking now," Karina said. "Just want to get everyone out of here. Where's Gavin and his group?"
"Guys!" Elecmon shouted. This scared Luna and Elecmon apologize for that and cut straight to it. "Gavin needs help! Quickly, follow us!" They raced back the direction they came from and everyone tried to catch up. "What is wrong with you people now?" Luci asked.
"We'll explain later." Will replied. Luci made a motion and Cerberumon jumped in front of everyone else, blocking the group's path
"We want answers. NOW!" Chris stated.
Luna sighed and explained their little 'finding'.
