Sam paced up and down at the entrance of the cave, the sun was in the middle of the sky and Hope had still not returned.

Once everyone had awakened, Gatomon told them that Hope had gone into to town and have not returned yet.

"I hope she's all right," Kari said after hearing what Gatomon said.

"Sam does look worried," TK said as they watch Sam paced up and down.

Finally Sam came inside the cave, "I'm going after her," he said simply. He raced out of the cave and started down the trail.

"Let's Go," Kari said running after him.

"Kari," Gatomon yelled after her.

TK looked at them and shrugged and then followed Gatomon out of the cave, followed closely by Patamon.

"If he thinks he going to be alone with Kari he has another thing coming," Davis said as he and V-mon followed TK.

"Davis wait up," Ken ran after him.

"Well I'm not going to be left out," Yolei said going after them.

Cody just shrugged to armdillowmon and went after everyone.

"You shouldn't of come," Sam said still running.

"We wanted to help," Kari replied.

"Alright you can come if you do exactly what I say"

"Of course we will"

"Where are we going anyways? Davis asked.

"A town not far from here." Sam said over his shoulder speeding up the pace.

By the time Sam had finally stop the humans were out of breath.

"We're here," he whispered., "Now do not look around only down straight in front of you so you can see where your going. Don't stop for anything, no matter what you hear or see, now come on." Sam lead the way through the brush.

The digidestined did what they were told to do, even if sound weird.

The path turned from grass into dirt into black ashes. Soon sounds filled their ears, many of them cries for help or moaning.

"Please help me!" their voices echo around in their surrounds.

Soon it became too much for Gatomon and she looked up, what she saw frighten her to her bones.

Digimon laid every where, most of them not moving. There was very few buildings around them, most of them were burnt down some of them were still on fire. Sam had his head up looking straight ahead, leading. Gatomon looked up, a huge castle stood ahead of them, it look as if it went up to the sky. She gasped Sam hearing this turned to her and hissed, "Keep your head down."

Which she quickly did, she tried to whap the images of what had seen out of her mind but they stuck like thorns.

A new voice echoed, "The King had been expecting you." A sound of huge doors opening ringed in their ears.

Gatomon looked up to see a huge picture of the courage crest painted on the huge doors of the castle, a symbol that usually fills her with strength, fill her with fright and worried. She didn't know why, it just did.

The doors closed behind them, shutting away the pain and misery that lay outside.

The castle was filled of happy things, bright colors painted on the walls and on the floors. It was as if they walked into another world.

Sam ignored all of this, he seemed untouched by the outside world that was surrounding him, he held his head up high and followed the Guard into a larger room.

Only a large chair sat in the room. There were only three doors in the room and no windows. Again the door shut behind them as the Guard left.

The second open and Hope came out, the door then slammed shut.

"How rude," She yelled back at the door.

"Hope" They called to her.

"There you guys," She said turning around, "You know I was going to break out of this place, but I didn't want to mess up the place."

"Sure you didn't", Sam said giving her a weak smile, something else was bothering him.

The third door opened and closed, but they couldn't see who entered since the chair was blocking the view.

Sam and Hope got tensed anyways, as if they knew who it was, they got ready to attack. The other digimon followed their actions.

What looked like a little Dragon Digimon, he was red with blue flames. He walked around the chair and jumped up to sit in it.

"Well if it isn't Samson and Hope, it's been to long," He said putting his hands. His voice was gentle and kind, which made the other digimon relax, but Sam through him an anger look.

"It's me Canine," He said calmly. Canine smiled, "Remember Cosette gave me that name, back when we digidestined."

"You have no right to speak of Cosette!" Sam yelled at him

"Your not digidestined," Hope added.

Canine showed no anger, he kept on smiling, "This says other whys." Canine held up the crest of courage, "Unlike you Hope, I was given this by Genni."

Hope's hand went to her crest.

"But asked Genni to let you keep it." Canine said, "Here Sam got you a gift." He through the crest of Light over to Sam, it landed inches away from him, but Sam did not touch it.

"Your lost," Cainie shrugged, "Sam why do you hate me so?"

Sam stared strait at him but said nothing.

"I did what I thought was right, isn't that what you told me what Courage is?" Canine smiled.

"Samson, why do you play this game with me? You know that your fighting a losing battle, why don't you join the winning side? Genni said that he won't destroy you if do. Sorry Hope I'm afraid it's too late for you."

Hope nodded and kept her position.

Sam just stared.

"Oh well, you can't say I didn't try," He shrugged, "This offer goes for you digimon too."

The digimon looked confused they didn't understand why Sam and Hope where so mad.

"What do you mean?" V-mon asked.

"Well, its easy, just leave your humans and join my side, the winning side and you be a King like me."

"What?" V-mon said he couldn't believe what this digimon was telling him to do.

"I know it sound bad at first but all humans died, it a part of being human. Digimon live forever."

"You mean kill are own partner?" V-mon said he couldn't believe it.

"Your have the spirts of courage don't you? Oh yes you do I can always tell. You know I just like once in my life, foolish. A dream came to us digimon one night long ago asking us the very same questions, the other digimon were dumb they didn't know what they were doing. So I decided for them…"

"By destroying them", Hope yelled.

Canine shrugged, "It's not my fault they wanted to protect their humans, a lot good that did. I protected my self just like you two did."

Hope eyes filled with sadness she looked down at the ground.

"You know I think I might be able to ask Genni to let the human live this time. He always listens to his favorite digimon. If you stick around tonight you can talk to Genni in the morning. What do you say Patamon?" Canine looked down at Patamon, "How…"

"Never!" Patamon yelled, Gatomon was surprised Patamon was so sure while she didn't know.

Canine shrugged, "The typical Hope digimon answer. And you Gatomon of Light?"

Gatomon was surprised that he picked her out of the other digimon, also how he knew that she had the crest of Light. Patamon looked over to her, even Samson looked her. She didn't dare look back at the humans. "No" She whispered. Even thou she wasn't so sure that was what she believed.

"A very foolish mistake, If you join me there is a chance that your humans will survive, join the side of Hope and Samson and they will die."

"So you say." Sam yelled back at him

"No Sammy, So I promise. The sprits of the crests have already picked there sides, you only have the sprit of Hope on your side." Canine said, his voice still calm.

"And the sprit of Light" Hope added.

"Oh yes, too bad you can't find her," Canine said he looked at the other digimon his eyes stopping on each one, his eyes looked a Gatomon twice. "Even if you do find her all you have is Hope and Light. You know what Hope means? I'll tell you it's a wish that people believe. So really all you have is a Wish and a night light. I'll give you digidestined till the sunsets tomorrow return to this castle if you want to survive." Canine raised his hand and a door opened.

The human turned to leave their digimon closely be them.

"You know Hope is a lot stronger than you think, Courage might give you power on the outside, but Hope gives you strength in the inside, it's the will to keep going. The most powerful force on this planet. Cosette knew that, and I think you knew it once too you just lost it along the way." Hope said and followed the others.

"And look where Cosette is now" Canine shouted back to her as the door closed.

Canine jumped down from his chair and sadly walked to a door, he stopped and looked up, "I'm sorry Cosette" he whispered. He open the door and walked out.

Gatomon walked back into the room she ran into the middle and picked up the crest of Light. 'Wizardmon risk his life to gave this to me I can't leave it behind.' She placed it around her neck and quickly ran after the others.


What can I say?

Only this
