Digimon 2: House of Horrors Series

Part Four: Attack at the Museum

""But, I know where the lair is!" Kari argued. Sora sighed.

"Fine, Kari you go with them. And," Sora said as Yolei opened her mouth. "We need a strong leader in our group."

"You call Yolei a strong leader?" Matt teased. "As opposed to me?"

"We're going," Yolei said, pulling Matt by his ear. "C'mon Sora!"

Sora gave Katrina, Izzy, Kari, T.K, and BlackGatomon a wave of good luck before following Matt and Yolei. Katrina sighed and turned to the remaining three digidestined and her digimon.

"Ready? Let's go!""

I'd like to devote this story to my two dedicated readers Money makes me Smile and CrazygirlHaley5555. Thanks you guys!

"Oh, it's so beautiful in here!"

"Hey, let's check out the souvenir store now."

"Oh, come on, Adrian! Just five more minutes," Mimi crooned. Adrian sighed, exasperated.

"You said that two hours ago."

"Opps, I guys I didn't realize the time!"

"Really," Adrian muttered under his breath. For a pretty girl, she is pretty ditzy. Then again, Tai's already warned me about that.

"Hey Adrian, look at those wax models!" Mimi pointed. "They look kind of like digimon!"

Adrian turned to yell at her about not talking about digimon so openly in public but froze when he caught half a dozen digimon hovering above the display of sweet rice cakes.

"Those are digimon!" Adrian called as the winged monkey-like digimon turned to look at Mimi. "They're Vilemon!"

"I remember those," Mimi frowned. "Last time I saw them was against the battle with Piedmon."

"Nightmare shocker!" the six of them cried. Adrian pushed Mimi over, three of the electric balls hitting him in his arm and shoulder.

"Are you alright?" Mimi gasped. Adrian grunted as he sat up. Mimi hissed as she saw all the blood running down his arm.

"I think it's broken," Adrian groaned. "We have to get out."

"How?" Mimi said, but the Vilemon were already preparing for their next attack. "This way!" Mimi grabbed Adrian's good arm and dragged him into the next store: the souvenir shop.

"It took us a while to get in here," Adrian joked as Mimi rummaged for gift towels. She wrapped his arm and put it into a sling. Adrian grinned at her.

"Are you a doctor?"

"Learned it from a friend named Joe," Mimi said as she looked over the counter at the Vilemon. "They haven't realized we're in here yet."

"How'd they get to the Real World?" Adrian wondered. "Well, at least we can say the world hasn't forgot about the digimon."

"We'll worry about that later," Mimi argued. "We have to find a way to get our digimon here."

"Of course," Adrian said. He popped his head over the counter and looked around. A grin appeared on his face as he located a laptop next to the register. "Do you think they'd mind?"

"Who, the workers?" Mimi asked, frowning. "They're on their lunch break, I think."

"Great," Adrian said, looking around. "Then we can pull up a digiport and bring our digimon here."

"We can't do that!" Mimi said. "The Vilemon are ready to attack us, and we don't have the D-3 necessary to open the gate!"

"Think again," Adrian smirked as he reached into his belt and pulled out a tan D-3. Mimi's mouth opened in surprise.

"How-but-when did you-?"

"C'mon," Adrian grabbed Mimi's wrist and pulled her over to the laptop.

"Digiport open," Adrian called as he held his digivice to the screen.

"Shoot, they're coming at us!" Mimi whined. Adrian bit his lip. He pulled Mimi closer to her, and they both were flying through the digiport…into the Digital World.

"It's so dark."

"Just keep walking, Gatomon told me to keep going."

"Yeah, I'm still getting over that," Katrina's voice said, a little shaky. "I mean, how can the digimon communicate with you? I even saw Gatomon turn to stone!"

"They're not dead," Izzy's voice said. "They're technically out of submission, but only physically. Maybe they were able to contact Kari mentally."

"You hear that?" T.K voice called. "Izzy's calling you mental, Kari!"

"That's not what he meant," BlackGatomon sighed.

"Look, there's a faint light coming up ahead!"

"Where, Kari?" Izzy's voice asked. "I can't see anything."

"I see it too," Katrina voice sounded excited. Who wouldn't be, after walking, what seemed like days, in darkness.

"I can't see anything," T.K said annoyed. "I still don't-oof!"

"Sorry, T.K," BlackGatomon said. "T.K?"

"Where'd he go?" Katrina said, a little panicked. "Izzy?"

"Here."

"Kari?"

"I'm right-oof!"

"She fell," BlackGatomon's voice wavered. "The ground swallowed her up and ate her!"

"Déjà vu," Katrina muttered, but laughter filled the darkness.

"Welcome digidestined, and goddesses…"

"Demon!" Katrina shouted. "Why are you doing this? Stop it at once!"

"You're being absurd, goddess. The Dark Masters and Myotismon got their fair share of laughs and fun, now it's my turn."

"Katrina!" Izzy called as he felt the ground open up beneath him. Katrina reached forward and grabbed onto the collar of his shirt.

"Izzy, what's going on?"

"What does he mean by goddess?"

Katrina snickered. "You're dangling for your life not knowing what's lurking at the bottom of the hole and you're worried about my pet name?"

"It's not a pet name," Izzy said. "You're either covering something up or he knows something we don't."

Katrina bit her lip, but the distraction cost her. Katrina slipped forward and Izzy and Katrina were falling for their lives.

"Katrina!" BlackGatomon called, but the ground above had already sealed itself. Gatomon was left in the darkness with Demon.

And Katrina was falling deep below the ground.

Note: Sorry this chapter is so short! You'll probably read this and say "That's it? What a waste of a chapter!" But now I've set the stage and it's easier for me to continue the story. Instead of alternating between one group and the other, I'm going to use the next few chapters ONLY for the group inside Demon's castle. Mimi and Adrian will appear later on in the story. Happy reading,

-Katrina Izumi09 :-D
