Dark Control:
"Madness"

File Island (Destined):

Kari and the others watched as Renamon solemnly carried Rika towards them, "What should we do, I don't think either of them has a place to go to and Takato too, why does this always have to happen, why do people always end-up getting hurt?"

Tai held his sister close to comfort her and was about to speak when the vulpine Digimon made it to the group, Davis being the one to break the silence that came over them, "So, uh, how does it feel to not have that dark collar thing making you crazy any more?"

This was promptly followed by a scolding by half of the other digi-destined and a slap to the back of the head by Yolei.

Elsewhere in the Digital World:

Grani stirred, something had disturbed its rest, if recharging batteries can be considered rest. As the ex-Ark's mind came completely back online it realized what was bothering it, it couldn't feel Takato.

The mechanical dragon let out something akin to a roar as it realized that it may have broken it's word to the one it had promised it's aid.

Digital World (Controlled Sector (HQ Common Room)):

Kazu smirked as looked at his cards, he and Kenta had started a game of Digimon cards to get there minds off of pretty much everything, though in essence you could say that Rika had escaped the private little hell she and most of the other tamers had been trapped in, they hadn't.

It also got worse from there, there partners all had to go into those labs to get there collars modified so that if they "accidentally" got them destroyed while biomerged it wouldn't damage the dark figures' precious modified spores.

Henry hadn't been seen since he was called to the labs, and the last time Terriermon had gone to get food for the two of them he looked like he hadn't slept for a week and was muttering something about the electricity in the lights giving him a headache, and he had only been in there a couple hours, after seeing that the others didn't really want to see what condition Henry was in.

Not that all of them would of cared someone had checked on him, Jeri wasn't talking anymore, to anyone, not even the resurrected ZombLeomon though he talked about as much as Jeri was now, and whenever one of the remaining tamers tried to talk with her she'd shush them then start looking for something, then shake her head and leave when it looked like she didn't find it. Yep, Jeri was as far out there as Terriermon was.

Kazu's wandering mind though quickly turned back to the game as Kenta beat him down with a Gomamon card and a few modify cards.

Laboratories:

Henry felt and looked like he hadn't slept in days, his partner rushed around the lab grabbing the things he needed, he was so close, so close to finishing it, ending the torture and emptying his mind, so close, so close, so close, just one more equation, one more variable, an integral, the exponent ional log of the sine of the angle of deviation of the cosine of the field force to the tangent of the 4th dimensional discontinuity times pi ØΦΩ.

Henry Wong had finally gone over the line between madness and genius, and kept on walking.

Jeri's Quarters:

Jeri was planning.

Things were not going well, but she wasn't going to give up, nor was Leomon, but they had to be careful, and was silently glad she had stayed up and watched that spy movie with her father before they had been taken.

Normally she wouldn't of even been up then but that night she a nightmare again, a bad one about the D-reaper, again, and even though he and she were still mending things between them, it helped to be with him after that.

The movie was the reason she didn't talk, and what tipped her off on what the thing she found was, a bug, not an insect, a bug, this one a camera, which she found… …somewhere she would rather not think about.

If she was to get out of here, sane, she'd have to plan, it was good to have Leomon back, but neither he, or she wanted it to be this way but that was beside the point, the… …whatever they were, were watching, listening, and considering some of the stuff they had smelling the Tamers' every moves.

Eww, considering what she thought she saw Kazu eat for breakfast that morning.

If her plan was going to work though, she had to do three things, find out what was going on, make a plan to get them out of there all out of here without telling them until she found a place that wasn't bugged, I'm getting pretty good at finding those things though.

The third thing, was to actually get them all out of there, Takato was out of everything both in a good and bad way, nobody knew what Henry's condition was, and the others probably thought she had cracked, Which in a way I guess I have, If anyone had told me this was going to happen a week ago, even after everything that had happened before I would of thought they were crazy.

Jeri smiled, even as tears rolled down her face.

FDF's Office:

FDF didn't know if he should laugh or kill someone, Wong had lost it, but in losing it was making more progress then any of those that came previous, Katou had disabled or identified most of the surveillance equipment in or around her dormitory yet seemed like the most loyal of the Tamers, and he had lost one of his more powerful pawns to the destined but reclaimed that blasted Matsuki boy.

This may not be so boring after all.

END CHAPTER 13 (evil if you believe that) of Dark Control.
