Chapter 16
He glances around the hole, his partner Tsukaimon rests on his shoulder. He's been waiting for Vetalamon to show but so far, nothing. He checks the time and sighs. He's been waiting for a grand total of three hours already; he decides that if Vetalamon doesn't arrive in the next thirty minutes, he's leaving.
He sighs and Tsukaimon wakes up as he gets up off the rock. "I guess we better head out, it's been three and a half hours. I think that's long enough." He says out loud. He's about to step away from his spot, something reaches out and grabs him, pulling him into the hole. He shouts, "Let go!"
:-P
He woke to find himself in chains. He glances around but couldn't find Tsukaimon, he even tries transforming into his other body but found that something is keeping him from transforming. He even attempts that subspace manoeuvre that TK used when Ken had him trapped; it worked about as well as his attempt to transform into his other body.
He glares at the door to his cell. An old emotion erupts from within his chest. He's pissed off and he's going to let the next being that enters into his cell know it.
-/-TK-/-
He's been feeling chilly for the last few hours. He frowns as he pauses and glances at his computer for what seemed to be the hundredth time in the last two hours. He also glances over to where his partner is resting before he goes back to focusing on his home work.
His cell phone rung and he finds that it's Ken. He says, "Ken?" "TK, I just had the weirdest feeling that something's out of place and that Zor's in trouble." Ken says over the phone, he blinks a few times at the amount of emotion he can hear from Ken's tone. "Have you tried E-Mailing him?" He asks, hint of panic edging into his tone. "Yes, I have! Wormmon suggested it and he hasn't replies to the three I've sent. I'm really worried, TK. You feel it too, don't you? You might not have been touched by that data cloud for long, but it was enough for you to have a connection with him." Then Ken says softly, "Can't lose him, TK. I won't lose another member of my family."
He really does feel for Ken, he knows that Ken was deeply moved by his brother's death and he rather not have Ken, or anyone, grieving for Zor. "We'll met at the last coordinates he was last at, ok? I'll leave a message for Urd about where I'm going, ok?" He says to Ken and the other teen replies, "Ok. See you soon. And thanks for understanding, TK." He smiles slightly as he ends the conversation.
It's not long before he jots a note and he picks up Patamon before heading towards the computer to open up a Digi Port close to where Zor was suppose to meet Vetalamon. Patamon doesn't ask any questions and looks soberly at the computer screen before they're sucked into the light. It's not long before they hooked up with Ken and Wormmon.
They head off to the spot, he can tell that Ken's truly distressed about this and that made his inners feel like a large lead weight was in him as they trotted towards the spot. A familiar mist was covering the edge of the hole, he exchanges looks with Ken before they both schooled their faces so they don't reveal the nervousness they're feeling.
Color becomes shades of black and white as soon as they enter into the mist. He's kind of prepared for the surge of negativity that is powered by the mist. He jerks his head back as he finds the ground before him vanish to reveal a gapping hole. He grabs the back of Ken's shirt and jerks the teen back since it seems Ken wasn't watching where he's going.
Ken sends him a hard looks and he looks down at the ground. Out of the corner of his eye he watches as Ken also looks down and before their eyes the ground repairs itself. Ken looks startled, which means that Ken wasn't paying attention to where they were walking. Ken shots him an apologetic look and he just nods his acceptance, neither of them felt much like talking.
With help from their partners, they make their way through the mist covered area. There were times where he had to startle Ken out of his memories, Ken would just sigh sadly and nod his head afterwards. He notices that Wormmon looks worried since the green rookie would keep looking at Ken with a worried look in his eyes.
After about an hour of moving around the area like it was a mine field, they found what appeared to be a stair case. He looks alert and glances around in an attempt to locate any traces of other beings that might have come up from the stair case. They both tense up as they begin to head towards the stairs with the up most caution since they don't want to run into trouble until they figure out what's going on.

He pretends to be asleep as the door opens. Something glows and in steps somebody much smaller with lighter steps. He opens his right eye and is pretty surprise to find some variation of a Leomon in his cell.
The Digimon had an earring on left ear and is wearing a simple vest and pant combo. He could tell that the Digimon stands about as tall as a preteen, making him either a really tall rookie or a really short champion. He frowns as he tries to figure out how to get this guy to release him. It's then that the odd looking Leomon look a like looks up at him with his eyes.
He finds himself staring into emerald eyes, he notes that there's a scar on the right eye. "Ah, geeze! I thought you were asleep!" The child looking Leomon says, clearly not wanting him, the prisoner, to see him, the guard. "What are you?" He asks, not sure what to make of the Digimon standing before him. "I mean, you look like a child version of a Leomon." He adds, the Digimon grimaces at the name Leomon.
"I'm a Kovumon, though I'm supposed to be in my champion form, Ligermon. So I don't suppose you can keep silent on this, right? I mean, I'm not suppose to be seen out of my champion form…" Kovumon says, clearly despair about this. He found he couldn't be angry with Kovumon since the Digimon acts like a kid. "I guess that makes you a rookie then." He says at last and Kovumon nods his head.
"I guess you guys don't get rookies like me, do you? From what I've heard, you don't even have any Calumon!" Kovumon says and he blinks. "I take it you're not from around here, are you?" He asks and Kovumon looks sad about that. "Yea, I'm the only survive of my world. You see, this evil Digimon called Millenniummon appeared and defeated everyone that tried to keep him from destroying our world, he even deleted the Royal Knights! Talk about power, especially since Lord Alphamon could mode change." Kovumon says, clearly lost in his memories.
He feels for the rookie, he really did even though he as not a single clue to what an Alphmon was or why this Millenniummon would want to destroy Kovumon's world. "How did you escape?" He asks and Kovumon looks away. "Daemon had opened this gate into this really spooky place called the Dark Ocean. He said he'd save me from being destroyed if I serve him. I didn't want to die! Not for good, so I accepted. I then found myself Digivolving into Ligermon and then I entered into the gate between worlds." Kovumon says, he sighs as the rookie finishes.
"But you don't like what he's asking you to do, do you?" He asks softly and Kovumon nods. "But I don't got a choice! He's even more powerful then one of them demon lords! Besides, even if I'm a vaccine, my higher forms are demon beasts. I don't like the thought of Digivolving into my ultimate form; I've heard rumours of how hard it is to keep your head in battle when you're a SangLigermon." Kovumon says, clearly nervous about that prospect.
He sighs and muses out loud, "Kind of sounds like Naruto, especially since he's the container of a nine-tailed fox demon. He's scared of what he can do if he's ever forced to use that power, not that I blame him, you don't run into a whole lot of demon carriers." Kovumon perks at that and asks, "What's this guy like?" He smiles slightly, more then happy to talk about the child that's become like a sibling to him.

He rubs his nose, he wonders why he's been sneezing so much in under an hour's time. "I guess someone out there is talking about you." Kari says in amusement. "Nay, that's just an old wives' tale." He says, quoting something Urd told him. "If you say so." Kari says, her eyes flashing with laughter, he just holds his arms behind his head as they walk to the apartment that he calls home.
They had an ok time since they went shopping, just the two of them. He really enjoys shopping with Kari; he finds it more enjoyable since Kari does listen to him and even asks his advice on things. Sure he likes Yolei and Mimi, but when they're going shopping, it's really hard to get a word in edge wise, especially if it's not related to what they're looking at that moment in time.
"So, TK's still hasn't answered his cell?" He asks after Kari sighs and closes her cell phone. "No and I'm getting worried since this is unlike him." Kari says and he glances back to look at her worried face. He says, "I'm sure he's fine! I mean, he's got that new kicking sword to help defend himself and he can transform into an angel that controls fire. Plus there's Patamon to back him up, so what kind of trouble can he get into with all that to help him out?" Kari smiles slightly, he grins confidently at her, glad to have cheered her up.
It's not long before they're entering into the apartment. He heads off to put his stuff into his dresser draws, leaving Kari in the main room of the apartment. He dumps the lot onto his bed and heads back to where Kari is, he does knock on TK's room and he says, "Kari's here!"
He finds Kari reading some note and he notices the way she looks stiff and wonders what she's reading. "Kari? What's written on the note?" He asks and Kari looks away from the piece of paper. Kari hands him the note and he skims through it at first before he's eye widen in surprise and he starts reading the letter over, this time more slowly.
"So, Zor's in trouble?" He asks once he looks up into Kari's face. Kari looks lost in thought, but she nods her head. He returns to staring at the letter in his hands, as he begins to lose himself in his own thoughts, Kari's already phoning Tai to let him know what's going on with Zor, Ken, and TK. He doesn't like this and he doesn't want to be left behind when the go to check out what's going on with those in the Digital world.
