Chapter 2

Izzy reached the Digiworld at the same time that Tentomon reached the gate.

"Izzy, the others are in trouble."

"I know, Ken warned me."

With a nod the small bug Digimon digivolved into Kabuterimon and Izzy climbed onto his back, glancing at his Digivice to track the others.

"Who do you want to go help?" Kabuterimon yelled at him.

"Ken and Davis, the others are close enough together to help each other out."

Kabuterimon nodded, shooting off his first attack the moment he came in range and Izzy jumped off his back, running to Ken and Davis.

"Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. I'm glad you're here," Ken sighed relieved.

Izzy smiled hesitant. "Say that again when Tai realizes I am here."

He looked at his friends and then to the Digimon.

"Any idea what we're dealing with?" Davis asked as he moved closer.

"Bijtmemon. Mega Bijtmemon actually. Their needle attack is brutal but they have a small weak spot in their armor on the side," Izzy warned him, ducking when one flew over low but being knocked off his feet when Wormmon was knocked into them.

Immediately they scrambled to their feet and Ken glanced at the others. They were slowly winning territory towards them but he didn't think they'd make it on time.

Arukenimon turned to them all of a sudden and laughed as she spotted Izzy.

"The child of Knowledge finally shows himself again," she clapped in her hands and from out of nowhere hundreds of Digimon appeared around them, surrounding them and blocking them from the others.

Davis gasped.

"Where did those come from!"

Ken turned to Izzy for an answer but the redhead looked horrified at the Digimon surrounding them.

Arukenimon reached up with her hand to give the sign to attack but Kabuterimon flew up to Izzy to protect his partner.

"Electro Shocker!"

All the Bijtmemon did was laugh as the electric attack crashed into them.

"You will have to do better than that ant!" One of them mocked.

"Needlethrow!" the combined attack of the entire Bijtmemon force slammed into Kabuterimon, throwing him into the depths of the woods unconscious.

The other Digimon and Digidestined had no time to react before the Bijtmemon attacked them….

Kari was concentrating on fighting when her gaze fell upon Kabuterimon.

"When did Izzy get here?" she asked confused.

"Who cares? At least he can help!" T.K. answered her as Angemon punched a Digimon away from his partner.

Thinking they could finally catch a breath they suddenly saw the hundreds of Digimon surround the three and knew they had to hurry up.

Kari called out her light to give their Digimon some more strength and slowly they made their way over to the other three, fighting their way through the wall of Bijtmemon.

When they finally reached them they fought against the Bijtmemon together, but were steadily losing territory until Tai, Matt and Joe suddenly appeared out of nowhere….
