Author's Note

Hi everyone, sorry for the LONG WAIT but something went funny with my Microsoft Word but it is sorted now and I will hopefully be updating again.

Apologies to you all.


From his small house in a mountain, Gennai was furiously typing on a computer. "How hard is it to find these powerful Digimon?" He sighed and leaned back in his chair. A beep drew his attention. "I did it. I found one" he looked at the information. "It's so close to them also." Then he noticed the particular Digimon. "Oh no, not that one."

Meanwhile, a cream and brown motorhome was driving through the countryside from the nearby campsite.

"This is some motorhome Mimi." TK praised.

"I know." She answered, resting with her feet up in the booth by the dining table.

"At least it handles well." Matt called from the driver's seat.

"That's what you're thinking about?" Tai mocked from the passenger seat next to him.

TK and Mimi giggled. Izzy, meanwhile, was typing away on his computer, making notes about the Digital Chest, ready for the information that they would get by hunting the various Digimon. He saved the program and closed his computer down.

He looked at the cupboards and realised, "If we're spending the summer doing this, we need to buy a lot of food for the cupboards."

"Well, I put a few snacks in the cupboards already." Mimi said.

Izzy and TK opened a door each, gazing at the filled cupboards. TK turned to his friend. "I thought you said a few snacks."

"Well, a few here and a few there." Mimi finished.

A beeping chime filled the vehicle. Tai turned around, holding the small tablet computer that connects them with Gennai. "I think we're getting a call."

Izzy got the tablet and swiped the screen. Gennai's face appeared on the screen. "Gennai?"

"Izzy, I'm glad I caught you." Gennai smiled.

"We've only just left the temple." Izzy sighed. "We found a map to help us with finding our way to the Digimon."

"Well, does that map show a castle of some sort nearby?"

TK looked at the map they pinned up. He found the campsite and noticed a castle roughly an hour away. "Yes, there's a castle. Have you found a Digimon already?"

"Yes, this one is troublesome. He calls himself Daemon." Gennai explained. "He wants to continue with his quest to find a magical artefact."

"What kind of artefact?" Mimi wondered.

"It's called the Wonderwand of Monardwiz." Gennai replied. "With it, he will be able to gain absolute power. You have to stop him from getting that wand!"

"You got it Gennai." Mimi smiled, wrapping her arms around TK and Izzy. "You can count on us."

Gennai smiled and the screen went black. Izzy tucked the tablet into his jacket. "Did you hear that Matt?"

"Yep. TK, which way to the castle?"

TK turned to map and approached it. Tai got out of the seat and walked to join the other three.

Just as he joined them, the centre of the map began to glow red. Soon, a small flame broke out and split into a ring of fire.

A dark face with piercing blue eyes rested in the centre.

"Daemon?" TK asked.

"I know you're coming for me pathetic mortals." Daemon taunted in a smooth, sly voice. "Well, come and get me. I'm in the Wandering Woods."

'This is a warning to all humans, that whomsoever opens the deep blue digital chest, will release thirteen of the most terrifying Digimon, upon the face of the earth.

'Tai slowly places his hands on the chest and opens it. He screams as he falls back.

'Matt, Izzy and TK are running in fear from a puppet moving of its own accord.

'Mimi and Tai are running towards the viewer as Daemon's face closes in on them showing his dark pupil.

'An Impmon and DemiDevimon appear. "Let's get 'em DemiDevimon!"

"I'm with you Impmon."

'Several Digimon fly behind them combing into the head of a SkullGreymon which promptly flies over the two Digimon, knocking them down.

'Izzy is holding his laptop with the distorted image of a man (later known as Gennai) who informs them,

"Only you can return the Digimon to the chest."

"Why us?" Matt and Tai ask.

'The menacing reply. "Because you let them out!"

'A Devidramon growls at the gang. Matt, Tai and Mimi gasp, backing up. While a Hyogamon, SkullMeramon and Piedmon laugh.

'TK screams for help as shadowy hands cover him.

'The shadows are then stuffed into the chest by Tai, Matt, Mimi, Izzy and TK. Matt slams the chest closed and breathes a sigh of relief.

'Gennai's laugh can then be heard. Causing Matt to run away.'

Daemon's face faded as the circle of fire burned away. The map was mysteriously intact.

TK scowled. "That Daemon is nothing more than a spoilt brat."

"With a lot of power." Mimi retorted.

"Matt, we should get to the Wandering Woods as soon as we can." Izzy instructed.

Matt looked at a sign as he drove by. "Well, we've just entered them."

Tai looked back through the windshield. "Wow, this fog is thick." Tai squinted his eyes. "Matt, stop the vehicle. We're going to have to get out and walk."

Matt agreed and parked under a large tree. Mimi grabbed a few torches from a drawer and handed them out.

They stepped outside and saw a terrifying forest. The flowers on the ground were withered on the ground and the trees' fruit was rotten and aged.

"What happened here?" TK asked.

"My guess is that Daemon must have some magical powers and turned this forest evil." Izzy answered.

Tai looked suspiciously at his friend. "Aren't you usually all science and facts?"

Izzy looked back at his large haired friend. "Says the guy who released thirteen Digimon from a blue chest." Izzy noticed something. "Speaking of which, where is the chest?"

Mimi smiled and pulled a small box from her pocket. "Right here." She pressed a button and it grew in size. "Turns out it can shrink for easier storage."

"For now, let's split up." Izzy suggested. Tai and TK went one direction while Matt, Mimi and Izzy went the other.

Tai and TK found themselves in a small grassy area that seemed to not be affected by Daemon's magic.

"This part seems to be unaffected by Daemon." Tai mused. "Let's have a little break. The others won't know."

"We've only just started." TK laughed. "But sure, I guess we could have a short break." They both laid down with their hands behind their heads, and slowly closed their eyes.


Unknown to Tai and TK, they were being watched through a sizeable crystal. Daemon rubbed his hands on the crystal.

"It appears that my spell is wearing off." He observed. "And the fact that those two are there, is just the icing on the cake." He smiled to himself.

Daemon turned and walked towards a stone table with someone laying on it. He stopped when he reached the head of the body. "If only you told me where the Wonderwand is, my dear. Right now, you would be ruling by my side."

Daemon walked back to the crystal and looked at Tai and TK. "Now, to deal with you two." He waved his hands over the crystal, sending his magic through it. "Hear my words, my Cherrymon minions. Get those boys and their friends. Keep them away from my castle."


Back in the forest, TK scrunched his face as shadows loomed over him, causing him to open his eyes.

"Who turned out the lights?"

Looking up, he saw the trees looking back at him, three of them looming over. Their branches reaching down to him, having developed into hands.

TK rolled away, and quickly stood up. "Living trees? Now I've seen everything. Tai! Wake up!"

Tai opened his eyes and saw the trees. He sighed. "Daemon must be trying to get rid of us." He quickly jumped up and stood protectively in front of TK. "TK, get out of here."

"Not without you. We're in this together." TK protested.

"Well then, there's only one option." Tai said. "RUN!"

Instantly, Tai and TK turned and ran the way they came. After a seconds surprise, the trees began chasing after them, launching cherries from their leaves.

One cherry hit Tai on his calf. "Ow! Those cherries hurt like hell!"

"There's the van!" TK called.


Meanwhile, Izzy, Mimi and Matt found nothing walking through the forest. They walked in a straight-line, but Mimi saw something in the distance. She ran forward a short distance.

"Guys, I can see the van."

"That's impossible Mimi." Izzy told her. "We walked in a straight-line. We can't be back at the van."

"Well Izzy, what's that?" Matt asked. "Another van that looks exactly like ours?" A yelp drew their attention. "Was that Tai?"

Almost instantly, Tai and TK appeared in view, running towards them. The two boys stopped in front of their friends.

"What's wrong?" Mimi asked.

"Evil trees." TK panted.

"Are you feeling ok?" Matt asked his brother, feeling his forehead.

A small red ball rolled and rested at Izzy's feet. He picked it up and looked at it. "It's a cherry." He heard a rustling sound and turned to the source. He saw three trees approaching. "Cherrymon. Daemon must have changed the trees to these Digimon!"

"We've got to get out of here." Mimi insisted.

TK looked behind him at two large bushes. "I've got an idea."


Ten minutes later, and the five friends were walking along a stream. TK's idea of hiding in the bushes and convincing the Cherrymon that they were just transforming into Digimon had worked. Much to Tai and Matt's surprise.

"Are we even going the right way?" Mimi asked.

"The Cherrymon said to follow the stream to the dense fog and we should see Daemon's castle." TK reminded her.

The bleeping of the tablet computer distracted them momentarily. Izzy answered the call to see Gennai's face.

"Izzy, my scanners are showing you extremely close to Daemon's location."

"How close?" Matt asked.

"You should be right on top of it."

Everyone looked around through the fog. "We can't see anything Gennai." Tai told him.

Gennai nodded. "Let me try something." His face left the screen. "Izzy, face the screen away from you."

Izzy turned the tablet around and a bright luminous green light shone out, somehow dispersing the fog. Five faces let their mouths drop as a tall, warped castle faded into view.

"Daemon is in there?" TK clarified.

"As is the Wonderwand of Monardwiz." Gennai reminded them. "Remember to try to get that first!"

The tablet turned itself off and Izzy put it away. "You heard the man. Let's get in there."

It didn't take them long to find the front door. But, unfortunately for them, it was guarded.

"Well then mister Digimon Expert." Tai whispered. "What are they?"

Izzy looked at the two Digimon. To be honest, they just looked like yellow custard blobs. He saw small pink dots at the top. He sighed. "Sukamon and Chuumon."

"How tough are they?" Matt asked.

Izzy smiled. "They're very weak." Then his smile dropped. "But their form of attack is disgusting."

"What is it? An egg burp?" Tai joked, earning a glare form Izzy. "Something worse?"

"It's best you don't know." Izzy advised.

They snuck forward, getting their hopes up that they would be able to sneak past. Unfortunately, they spotted them, or in particular, Mimi.

"Hey sweetie." One Sukamon greeted.

Mimi instantly knew they meant her. Just her luck. She moaned and slumped her shoulders. Matt leant towards her.

"Mimi, just flirt with them." He whispered. "Maybe we can get in."

She resented the idea, but did as requested. She walked to one side of the gate, both Sukamon following her.

Tai immediately, and quietly, rushed for the gate. He slowly pushed the door open and let Matt, Izzy and TK in. He turned to Mimi and have her an 'OK' symbol.

"Hey honey, I've got an idea what the three of us can do." The other Sukamon smiled.

Mimi humoured him and knelt down to listen. When she heard the thought, she instantly stood back up and turned away. Just as they jumped up to Mimi, she quickly spun back, kicking them over the side and into the moat that surrounded the castle. She walked past Tai, who quickly stood aside and let the still miffed girl by.


"This place is huge." TK marvelled. "It looks bigger inside."

"How are we going to find Daemon or the Wonderwand in this place?" Matt asked.

A column of fire shot from the floor and Daemon emerged. "Welcome to my little home."

Tai stood forward, fists clenched. "Listen! This isn't your home!"

"True, but I can do this to you." Daemon said, raising his glowing hands.

A bright white light enveloped them all and the next they knew, they were in a straw-lined dungeon.

"Great, now we're in a dungeon." Mimi sighed. "How do we escape?"

"There is no escape." Answered a gravelly voice. "We're trapped here."

They turned around to see a small figure slumped in the corner. He wore a tattered blue hat, a dark blue collar that covered his mouth. A yellow overall and brown gloves completed the look.

"Who are you?" Matt asked.

"I am Monardwiz."

"So it's your Wonderwand that Daemon is after." TK realized.

"Yes. My colleague took it from me and secreted it somewhere in this castle." Monardwiz explained. "Under my instructions, she wouldn't tell me where she hid it. But she wouldn't even tell Daemon where it is, so he put her under a spell."

"We need to find a way out of here." Izzy insisted.

"Try knocking on the walls." Tai suggested. "It always works in movies."

"Like that ever works." Matt sighed, leaning against the wall. He straightened back up when he felt the wall shift. "You've got to be kidding me." He pushed as best he could. "Hey guys, give me a hand."

Tai, Izzy, Mimi and TK each placed a hand on the wall and pushed as hard as they could.


Through the crystal ball, Daemon saw their attempt to escape.

"So, they want to escape?" Daemon sneered. "Well then, I guess I'll give them a helping hand then."

His magic pulsed through the crystal and destroyed the wall. He saw the five friends fall forward and through his make shift portal.

Matt and TK fell on top of some sleeping green creatures called Vegiemon. Who were not happy at being woken up. Tai and Izzy found themselves in a large library.

But Mimi found herself with Daemon. As soon as their eyes locked, Daemon chanted. "Darkest forces, whistle and creep. Now my prey, sleep!"

She fought the urge but easily succumbed to a slumber.


"Well, at least we're somewhere good." Tai commented.

"What?"

"Izzy, you're the brainiest person I know." Tai smiled. "We're in a library. Do your thing."

Izzy looked around. "I'm better with computers than books."

Tai looked around and walked in a random direction, taking him to a plaque. Tai looked at the object above the plaque, a five pointed sun on a stick.

"What's this thing?" he asked himself. He twirled the stick and pointed it towards Izzy. "Hey Izzy, check this out."

Izzy turned around as a bolt of lightning shot out. He quickly ducked and screamed at Tai. "What the hell are you doing?"

Tai looked at the staff in his hands. "I think I found the Wonderwand."

"Let's get it back to Wizardmon." Izzy said. Tai shot a questioning glance. "Tai, Monardwiz is one of the good Digimon that are about. I knew he looked familiar but the staff clinched it. Let's go."

Tai and Izzy quickly left the library, and found Matt and TK running from the Vegiemon. Soon, the four of them had left the castle.

"We have to get back in there." Tai said.

"Are you crazy?" Matt argued.

"Mimi is in there and we have the Wonderwand." Tai explained, showing the blonde brothers Wizardmon's staff.

"We don't even know where in the castle she is." TK said.

Tai looked at the staff. "Maybe this thing can take us there." He raised the staff. "Take us to Mimi."

The sun on the staff shone, shifting their surroundings to stone. They looked around, seeing Mimi lying next to another girl wearing a veil, both breathing evenly, signalling they were asleep.

"The Wonderwand!" screamed a deep voice.

Tai spun around, seeing Daemon heading straight for him. he pointed it and shot out a stream of fire.

The heat pushed Daemon back against the wall. He looked back at the staff. A small smirk embraced his face. "You guys try to wake Mimi up, I'll handle this guy."

"Tai, you can't handle him on your own." Izzy called as Tai duck and rolled to avoid a fireball. "He's really strong."

"Izzy, just do what I say!" Tai commanded.

He shot a bolt of combined fire and electricity, sending Daemon through the wall, outside and landing in the moat.

Daemon looked at the hole where he came out. Seething rage filled his body. His red robes ripped apart as his body grew to a monstrous size. His new form had giant purple bat wings with three red spikes on each wing. Brown fur covered its arms and the thighs. It had pale blue skin and red claws. Two white horns stuck out from its head and two fangs sticking out of its mouth.

He reached through the hole and grabbed Tai.

"Give me the wand!" he demanded, his new voice was now roar, animalistic and filled with rage.

Tai held the wand with both hands and closed his eyes, concentrating. A green light blinked and Tai found himself on the ground, behind Daemon.

"Hey ugly. Over here!" Tai called.

Daemon turned around and spat out a stream of fire. Tai used the staff to create a wall of water to extinguish the flames.

Izzy looked out of the hole at magical fight. "I don't know how long he'll last." He turned back to look at Matt and TK failing to wake Mimi up. "This isn't working." Izzy walked to Mimi. He reached into her pocket and pulled out a small cube. He then ran out of the room.

"Izzy, get back here!" Matt called.

"Matt, we need to find a way to wake Mimi up." TK reminded him.

"And my companion." The two blondes looked to see Wizardmon walking towards them.

Wizardmon placed his hands over Mimi and moved his fingers. He repeated the process on the other victim.

"What did you do?" TK asked.

Wizardmon faced TK. "It appears the spell that Daemon used can only be undone with a Stars Kiss."

"What does that mean?" Matt asked, irritated.

Wizardmon shook his head. "I don't know. This was Daemon's work. Only he knows what it means."


Tai was beginning to lose the fight against Daemon. The power was draining and Daemon's power seemed to be multiplying.

"If this is my last shot…" Tai thought.

Daemon bent down and reached for Tai. With one last magical burst, Tai thrust the staff forward, showering Daemon with sparks.

Tai's eyes widened as Daemon shrunk down and down. Soon, Tai just looked down at the small frog that Daemon had become.

The rage still plain in his eyes, Daemon began to hop towards Tai. With one large hop, Daemon leapt and headed straight for Tai's neck.

Tai flinched, stepped back and covered his face, waiting for something that never came. He opened his eyes to see Izzy holding the chest, and smiling.

"One down." Izzy said, breathing heavily.

Tai suddenly started laughing. "Come on."

Back with Matt and TK, Tai and Izzy were filled in on the situation. "So, how can we solve this Stars Kiss thing? We don't have any stars here."

"Excuse me." Matt inputted. "I'm a singing star, remember?"

Wizardmon gasped. "You're a star?"

"Well, that's what people tell me." Matt defended himself.

Wizardmon grabbed Matt and led him to Mimi. "Please try to awaken her with a kiss."

Matt looked around. Now, he was under pressure. He became extremely self-conscious. He saw the silent pleading in TK's eyes. He turned to Mimi. He lowered his head and gently placed his lips to hers.

He quickly back away when Mimi slapped him. "Matt!" she squealed.

"It worked." TK beamed. "Matt, try the other girl."

Knowing it would work, Matt instantly kissed the other girls lips. The girl stirred and removed her veil, revealing light burgundy hair.

Wizardmon walked to her. "Jun, are you alright?"

"Now I've found my Prince Charming." Jun said dreamily.

"Wizardmon, here's your staff." Tai remembered.

"Thank you." Wizardmon bowed, receiving his property. "And now, my gift to you."

Wizardmon raised his staff, glowing with a pure white light. "There is another Digimon like Daemon to the west of here."

"Thanks Wizardmon." Izzy smiled. "Come on guys. Another Digimon awaits us."
