Chapter three - train incedent

Takuya slowly opened his eyes. He looked around, and saw nothing but shadows. Again he found standing on a small platform surrounded by shadows.

"Takuya help me!" a voice yelled from the shadows. Takuya turned around. All he saw was darkness.

"Where are you?" Takuya yelled to the voice.

"TAKUYA!" The voice screamed.

Suddenly the platform beneath him disappeared. Takuya started to fall into the shadows…

A sudden jolt woke Takuya and sent him flying from the seat of the Trailmon. He crashed into the floor with a thud. "Owww." Takuya groaned and sat up. "What was that?"

Kouji stood up and walked over to the window. "Hey, were not moving." Kouji stated.

The rest of them stood up as well and looked out. Kouji was right they had stopped.

"I'm going to go check with Angler." Lance said as he walked through the compartment doors. Kouichi watched him go, then turned the window as well.

"Is it just me or does this feel really strange to anyone?" Zoë asked as she rubbed her arms trying to get rid of her sudden chill.

J.P. and Tommy nodded beside her. A sudden gasp from Kouichi made them all turn their attention to him. His face had paled and he had gone ridged.

"Nii-san? What's the matter?" Kouji asked coming up beside him.

"GET DOWN!" Kouichi yelled shoving Kouji's' head down below window level. The others did so to, and just in time to.

A huge burst of energy flew by them; breaking each window on the Trailmon in turn, and sent it showering all over the kids.

They stayed on the floor until they heard footsteps heading towards them. They looked up in time to see Lance all but break down the door and rush into the room. "Is everyone okay?" He asked worried.

Takuya stood up and checked himself over for wounds. "I'm fine."

"I think I got a little cut." Tommy voiced as he withdrew his hand from his forehead. Blood was visible on both his head and hand. Zoë gasped and ran over to him. Pushing his bangs back, she could see a small cut with a shard of glass embedded in his brow.

Lance came up behind her and told Tommy to sit down. Carefully Lance took the shard out with only a wince of pain from the younger boy. Grabbing the first aid kit from Takuya, Zoë helped Lance clean and bandage Tommy's cut.

Standing back up, Lance turned to Kouichi… or tried to in any case. But Kouichi, Kouji and Takuya had all disappeared. He looked around until he saw the open door. Stepping outside with J.P. behind him, Lance came up beside the three boys who were looking at the bottom of a hill in the distance.

"What is it?" Lance asked as he saw the worried look on their faces.

"Looks like Virus is at it again." Kouichi spoke up. He pointed to a forest near the bottom of the hill. A large group of pissed of digimon were slowly making their way around the hill.

Kouji could pick out a few of the digimon he recognized, unfortunately they all had very bad experiences with him. There were Candlemon, two DarkTyrannomon, and a few Triceramon; The others where unfamiliar to him. He looked to Lance, "Uhh where are they going?"

"Well If I had to guess, most likely to help the ones who are already fighting." Lance answered pointing to a large group of battling monsters on the other side of the hill.

"Whoa!" Takuya and Kouji both exclaimed in unison as they saw the raging battle going on.

"How do you stop something like that?" Zoë asked coming out of the Trailmon.

"Well usually me or Tomoko do it, but Kouichi can do the honours this time-" Lance turned to Kouichi who was walking back to the train. "Hey where do you think you're going?"

Kouichi stopped and looked back at him. "What? You don't expect me to go stop it do you?" He asked pointed to himself. Lance nodded. "Oh no! Remember what last time? Do you remember how well that turned out?"

Lance seemed to think for a moment before his face fell. /sweatdrop/ "Oh. Right." He laughed nervously. "Did you even fix that part of the field yet."

"No." Kouichi smiled.

"Hunh?" Kouji looked back and forth between Kouichi and Lance as they argued while the others watched the battle intently.

"YIKES!" J.P.'s yelp reached the others ears and they turned to see a 'very' large fireball heading towards them. "Run for it!" J.P. screamed as he ran back towards the train. Takuya following right behind him. Before they could reach the train Kouichi grabbed their shirt collars and stopped them from running any farther

"Don't move." Kouichi advised. "That is unless you 'want' to be brunt to a crisp?"

No one moved, but the incoming fireball was beginning to worry the others. The only ones not worried were Kouichi and Lance.

The fireball was coming in extremly close now. Even Lance was starting to get a little scared.

"Um, Kouichi, whatever you were planning on doing, I think you should do it soon." Lance said.

"Hunh?" Kouichi looked up at him then at the fireball. "Oh crap!" He shouted. Kouichi raised his hands to the fireball. His hand began to shine blue and soon so did the fireball. The fireball was pulled towards Kouichi, but as it neared him it seamed to vaporize into a thin line of blue light. The blue line of light dissipated into Kouichis plam.

They all looked at Koucihi amazed. They saw him staring at his hands.

"HOT! HOT! OW!" Kouichi yelped jumping up and down blowing on his hands to cool them off.

/sweatdrop/

"Oh man," Lance sighed putting a hand to his forehead. "Very nice kiddo."

"So anybody up for explaining?" Kouji, Takuya, and the others all asked in unison staring at The elder twin.

"Nope." Kouichi rubbed the back of his head and laughed.

"No? Then maybe you would care to explain to me where you happened to disappear to in the middle of the night!" Yelled a voice behind them.

Lance and Kouichi froze their eyes wide. Everyone turned around to see a woman standing behind them. A very angry woman.
