Okay...I know what you're all thinking, "She's so slow in updating!" I'm sorry! Please bear with me and my time-consuming pace! Also, high school's been trying to kill me! ARGH! So many CPTs! T.T

By the way, I wanted to know if the thoughts and talking quotations were confusing and hard to read. If they are, please tell me.

Matt: I hope we can find our digimons soon.

Mystic-H: Actually...the truth is…I don't want to add them…hehe.

Matt: -Glares-

Mystic-H: BecauseIdon'treallyknowtheirnames,moves,andall…(hard to read :P)

Matt: --' Do some research! -Chases Mystic-H with the rifle-

Mystic-H: Noooo! I shouldn't have gave you that!

Enjoy!

You Never Know

Chapter 11

"How did this happen…" Mimi stated. She and Izzy were tied to a tree, with Mimi on one side, and Izzy on the other. The two soldiers that had captured them where taking a break and decided to tied them there. Mimi watched the two soldiers laugh about whatever they were talking about, and she shivered at the sound. Beside them were two cages with a digimon in each. They were both in their lowest levels, and obviously were too beaten up to evolve.

"How should I know? But I think I have an idea on what's going on." Izzy's face twitched at the cut he received and waited for Mimi to respond, but when she didn't he continued, "They are probably mind controlling the digimons, and might also be experimenting on them."

"How do you know that?"

"Because, if they wanted to only mind control them, they wouldn't capture it and then bring it to their base to mind control it. Wouldn't it be so annoying and time consuming? And if they need people to defeat the digimon first, and then mind control it, they would bring the scientist that knows how to do this, along. Besides, I heard them say words like rumors and experiment, in one of their conversations. Also, human technology hasn't reached up to the point where they could use something like the black gears. I think they are also using a drug for the mind control, since they used a pollution-like drug to make them weak. We humans are famous in using drugs, aren't we?"

"I guess so...but that doesn't explain why they need to mind control them."

"Well, maybe they need some digimons on their side to make things easier."

"Oh…I see."

------Flashback------

"I wonder if Joe will find anything useful…" Mimi thought out loud.

"I hope so, since we still don't know where and how TK is." Izzy stared at the floor with a lack of things to do.

Rustle, Rustle.

"Hey…did you hear something." Izzy asked.

"No, why?" Mimi turned towards him.

"Gotcha! Ya little dimwit! Heh, that wasn't so bad, was it?" A light voice said.

Mimi and Izzy looked at each other. They made themselves less noticeable and walked closer to where the voice was coming from. They crouched down beside the bush. The voice came again, "Hey did you beat the crap out of yours yet, partner?"

A laugh came about. "Heck yeah!"

They laughed together.

"I never knew this would be so fun."

"Me neither. I thought they would be harder than this."

"I think it's because of the drug they used in the atmosphere."

"Drug?"

"Ha, you didn't know about this? Well, basically it's like a pollution that only affects these digimons. No harm to us."

"What does it do?"

"Make it weak, of course!"

"Interesting."

Mimi and Izzy nearly gasped out loud. What are these guys talking about? They continued to listen, now alarmed.

"You know…I think you just gave out some very important information out to some…"

There was a pause. Izzy's face turned cold with realization and whispered, "Run!" He got up and turned.

"BRATS!"

The soldier jumped out at them. Mimi tried to run but the light-voiced solider grabbed her wrist. Izzy stopped and looked back.

"Oh? Who's this?" The other solider approached him and Mimi, who was squirming under his grip.

"Saa…" The light voiced, younger solider looked at Izzy. "You better come with us, if you are smart."

Izzy glared at him and thought, 'I can't leave Mimi…but I can't do much right now either. I should tell the others and then plan what to do, instead of getting captured while the others are still oblivious.' With that thought in mind, Izzy ran for it.

"Hey! Stop!"

Seeing that Izzy wasn't going to listen, the older man lifted up his rifle, aimed, and fired. Izzy fell down, and that's when Mimi screamed with wide eyes.

-------Present--------

Luckily, the bullet only scrapped Izzy's face, since the older soldier didn't plan to kill him…yet, at least.

'Oww…that bullet burned! I wonder how it will feel like to get shot…Anyways, it still burns a bit…' Izzy thought with a shudder.

"Nee…Izzy…I think we will be okay."

Izzy snapped out of his thoughts. "What?"

Mimi pouted, "I said, we will be okay."

"I hope so too…"

"You know why?"

Izzy sighed, "No."

"Because…" Mimi lowered her voice low enough for only Izzy to hear, "…my clips…I made a trail."

"Wow…I never knew you would be so smart." After a second thought he added, "And to sacrificed your jewelry! What a surprise!" He laughed lightly.

"Ahhh, I'll get you for this!"

"Quite down you two!" The older man barked at them. They immediately did.

After the old man turned his attention away from them, Mimi said, "It's all your fault."

Izzy rolled his eyes.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"Let's see…I have three so far…" Joe counted the stars. "Maybe the situation won't be so bad after all." He squeezed, and then spotted another star hairclip.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"Sir, can I please go? Really, I need to…" Sora said through the prison door.

"No, I can't, unless if I receive special permission to let you kids out."

"Well, you're not letting us out; it's just me that wants to go to the washroom."

"No."

"Please? Sir, it's not like I'll do anything, I can't!"

The guard signed. 'Stupid kids…maybe I should let her go, or else she will be pleading me with her annoying self for the rest of her life.' With that thought in mind, he took out his keys from his pocket.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

TK and Tai heard his keys jingle.

"Hey, TK, get ready." Tai cautioned.

TK nodded, "Okay."

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

The guard opened the door knob, and out came Sora. "Thanks," she said with a smile and her hands still tied behind her back.

The guard sighed, "This way."

Sora walked first, seeing that he wasn't going to let her get out of his sight. He was about to close the door, when Tai and TK busted out just in time.

"What the! Where are your ropes?" Without waiting for an answer, he charged at them.

Sora immediately got rid of the ropes around her hands, as she was just holding them to pretend that they still tied her hands together. At the same time, Tai and TK dodged to separate directions. TK was a bit too slow, and the man grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him back. Sora saw this and kicked him near the back of his knee, which is one of the few parts of the human body that you can not train to become stronger, and caused him to fall on it, letting TK go out of surprise. He turned and asked, "So you kids want to fight huh?"

"Eek!" Sora managed, and jumped out of the way and towards the prison door, dropping her ropes in front of it. Tai was beside her and he asked, "What are you going to do about it?"

He laughed, quite disturbingly, and the three all shiver. "Eliminate you, of course." With that said, he lunged at them.

Sora was frozen on the spot. Tai, seeing this, pushed her out of the way. He was about to get hit when TK pushed the guard, causing him to stepped the rope that Sora had dropped earlier. He lost his pace, and he banged head first against the metal, prison door. Tai was on the floor right beside him, breathing hard.

"Guys, are you okay?" TK asked.

"Phew, that was close, but he's out cold for now." Tai said, examining the guard. "Also, what happened to you, Sora? You stopped all of a sudden."

"I-I…I'm sorry." She replied with her head tilted down so no one could see her eyes.

"You don't need to say that, I mean, I would've been scared if not for protect-" Tai paused, "Well, you know, something in me just clicked."

Sora just nodded and a brief silence followed. They were still shocked that their plan had actually worked. Perhaps it was mostly on their luck.

------Flashback------

"Okay, first I will beg him to let me to go to the washroom, so he'll open the door. After that, you two -and be quick about this- come out and lure him to face the door. He will probably lunge at us instead of using a gun, since he needs to keep us alive. Then someone, anyone, push him so that he bangs on the door. It's metal so he'll be out cold. Besides, his own force combined with someone else's should be enough."

"This sounds pretty risky." Tai commented.

"Yes but…I rather risk this…just this one time." Sora said quietly.

"How do we get rid of our ropes?" TK asked.

"Let's use some sharp rocks."

"I hope it will cut." Tai commented, again.

-------Present--------

And somehow, the ropes did get cut off, and the guard did get knocked out cold. It gave Sora the chills, but she was grateful that they were so lucky.

TK spoke up, "We better get going."

"I remember it was this way that we came in from..." Tai stated, and then added, "We should get some useful things from the guard too." They searched for some useful items and found a pistol, and ropes. After stashing the items, they started to walk down that hall.

"Tai." Sora called softly.

He turned around, "Huh?"

"Thanks."

"Uhh…no problem." He said, and continued to walk. He grinned as he made sure she wasn't looking, and unknowingly, Sora also smiled at his back.

TK, who was at the front, watched this and found it quite amusing. He immediately thought of Kari. 'I wonder how she's doing…'

Yosh! I'm finally done! Hope you all like it! One of my longest chappies! Muhahaha!

Matt: Hey, I wasn't in it.

Mystic-H: So? You gave me a hard time so I didn't put you in it.

Matt: What was that? –Lifts up the rifle-

Mystic-H: NOOOOO!
