Disclaimer: I do not own digimon or its original characters.

I want to thank the reviewers. Sorry for taking so long to update!

Friendz4eva: Thanks. I always need positive reviews.

Tangledways: I will work on the errors so there will be no more. Hopefully.

Everyone is waking though the thick forest. "When do these woods end? I am tried and hungry," Mike complains and sits down on a large boulder. "Let's find a place to crash for the night."

"Hey! I think I see a village! Let's go!" JP starts running toward a small village.

"Hello, and welcome to Palamon village." A friendly little Palamon greets them.

"Hi there. Um…not to be rude, we're tried and hungry travelers and we're looking for a place to sleep. May we sleep here?" Zoe walks up to the Palamon.

"Yes, you may stay here. We have rooms big and small. How many are in your group?"

"Let's see," Zoe counts everyone up. "We have 10." The Palamon nods and another leads them to a very large hut.

"Is this big enough?"

"Yes. This is quite enough. Thank you." Soon the sunsets and everyone sleeps soundly.

Night gives away to day and everyone is still asleep except Takuya. "Rise and shine everyone. We don't have all day. Let's go."

"Can't we at least have a breakfast before we leave?" Mike grumbles as he sits up.

"The Palamon were kind enough to give us some fruit for breakfast." Takuya tosses them all some fruit. "Don't worry. There aren't any meat apples here." He adds after seeing a look on Zoe's face.

Soon, Mikes walk to the door. "I'm going to see if I can find any more apples in the forest. No leaving without me."

A few minutes later, smoke fills the room. Cough "What the heck?" Zach tries to clear his throat. Suddenly, everyone faints, including Neemon and Bokomon.

In the woods, Mike sees Biomon fly away from the village and hears Palamon scream. "What are those guys doing back there?" Mike turns back and runs toward the village.

Back at the village, the others were starting to regain conscioness. "What happened?" Tommy is the first to speak. He finds that he and the others were tied up and outside. "Guys, wake up. We've been captured."

"What!" Takuya snaps awake. "Let's try spirit evolving." They all agree.

"It would help if we had our d-techers, Takuya." Zoe tells him, pointing out that they were missing.

"Looking from these?" a digimon taunts them, holding a bag.

"What are you?" Tommy asks the strange digimon. It has ivy arms and ivy leaves for a body.

"That is an Ivymon. They have smoke bombs that knock any digimon out. Their Ivy Wrap and Poison Barb attack will leave you dizzy." Bokomon tells them out of memory.

"And it stole our d-techers." JP snarls, trying to get free.

"Darkladymon will be pleased with these. They will help us greatly," the Ivymon then gets into Takuya's face. "Tell me where your friend is and your destruction won't hurt, much."

"And if we don't?" Zoe asks her.

"You will suffer the same that the girl is." This ticks off everyone even more knowing that they are torturing the girl.

In the bushes, Mike witnesses all of this. His temper and anger are hitting boiling point. "Okay, I know I have to help them but how?" He stares at his d-techer. "I know I don't have a spirit or guts like the others. I know I am nuts but this is the only way." He shoots out of the bushes and charges at the Ivymon.

"Ah…finally," it spins around to face him. "Ivy Wrap!" it attacks him with its free hand and grabs Mike around the waist.

"Mike!" The others all are scared because now he's trapped.

"Take that," he kicks the evil digimon in the arm.

"Ouch!" she drops him and he tries to grab the bag. "No you don't." It pulls the bag out of reach. "Ivy Wrap." Ivymon tries to grab him again.

But suddenly, a light shoots out fro the tree between the digimon and Mike. In the light, a small statue appears. "Is this my spirit?" Mike asks. He decides that it is because it stops right in front of him. "Execute. Spirit Evolution!"

Mike is compressed by green and tan armor, a helmet that covers half his head. Wings shoot out of his back. He now has a sword and a boomerang as weapons. "Mindamon!"

"Cool!"

"Mindamon, spirit of the closest moon and the weather. " Bokomon tells them all.

"No matter what form he is in, he still is too weak to beat me," sneers the Ivymon.

"You want to bet, plant!" Mindamon faces her. "Tornado's Boomerang!" He throws his boomerang and it cuts the bag on the way out and the arm in, and it was super fast.

"Yow! You'll pay for that." The digimon curses him, "Poison Barbs!" little sharp thorns fly out of her hand. They barely miss Mindamon.

"Lightning's Strike!" he suddenly disappears. The evil digimon turns around. Then from out of nowhere, three cuts appear all over her body. On the fourth slash, her fractal code appears. "Time to be purified oak. Fractal code, digitize." Mindamon scans her code and she disappears.

"Good job. Now, a little help here." Koji asks him. Soon, everyone is cut free, Mike devolves and they go to find the Palamon. They were stuffed into a closet.

"Thank you, again," the head Palamon thanks Mike for the 100th time. They also gave the gang food for the road.

"Like I said before, no problem." Mike blushes. Soon, everyone leaves.

"How do you feel? You okay?" Takuya asks him. Mike seems tried and worn out. "It kind of takes a lot out of you, huh?"

"Yeah."

Zach walks behind everyone else. JP notices this and decides to walk with him. "Don't worry. You'll get your spirit soon enough." JP seems to read his mind.

"Promise?"

"Promise!"

At a castle, far from our heroes, cries are heard. "What is you name?" a bug digimon cracks a whip. He hits a girl.

"You're not suppose to hit a lady," she sneers, crack another crack of the whip.

"What is your name?" he repeats.

"My name…my name is none of your business," she cries weakly after deciding to keep her name a secret. The digimon soon leaves and she whispers, "Please forgive me, everybody. Please forgive me for anything I am forced to do."

Well, what did you think?

Mike: YAAA! Spirit! Spirit! Spirit!

Takuya: What is he so happy about?

ME: He got his spirit first.

Zach: Why not me? Me?

ME: I don't know. Hey, may be you stop whining, you'll get yours sooner.

Zach: Okay pouts

JP: Poor kid.

Kouichi: HE wasn't the evil one this story.

Koji, Tommy and Zoe: Yeah!

ME: Careful what you say. Remember, some authors are more evil than they show. Mwahahahaha! Watch out, Kouichi, watch out!

Kouichi:(cry, sob) I'm scared now, don't hurt me! begs

ME: I don't know. If I do, it won't be for a while. R and R, fans. Kouichi may depend on those reviews! Mwahahahahahaha!
