As they walked through the forest, the trees got darker and darker. They kept their eyes open. As they traveled, the forest seemed to be more and more dead. Cobwebs started appearing on the trees.
"I don't like this," Elie said.
"We're fine," Lao reassured her. But the webs seemed to keep getting bigger and bigger.
Gre stopped. Everyone looked to see that his feet were stuck to the ground. Rei, Lao, and Tao went over but couldn't get him free. It wasn't until everyone tried to free him that he became unstuck. They continued on, but now they watched their steps more carefully. Eventually they came into a clearing and stopped.
"Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly," a voice echoed. "Silk Web." A giant web came flying towards the digidestined, pinning everyone except Jason and Velocimon, who were barely able to jump out of the way.
Jason looked up to see Arukenimon. "Let's do this Velocimon." Jason said. "Digital Armor Activate."
"Velocimon digivolve to Tyromon."
Arukenimon was now on the ground. "Poison Silk." She shot some silk web at Tyromon and he fell. But he got back up. "Fire Claw." Tyromon ran towards Arikenimon, but she was too quick. She jumped on Tyromon's back and pushed him into the ground face first. He was knocked out.
Jason slashed at Arukenimon, but she dodged each slash. The other digidestined struggled to get out of the web, but they couldn't. Arukenimon hit Jason and he stumbled back. He kept trying to hit Arukenimon but she kept dodging and hitting him. Jason was getting weaker with each hit.
Eventually, Jason couldn't get up anymore. But he wouldn't give up. He held himself up with his sword. 'I can't fail. We've got to win,' he thought to win.
But another voice argued with him. 'You're afraid to fail.'
'No, I'm not.' He argued back.
'Yes you are, and that's why you're going to fail. You're fear of failing is going to cause you to fail. It is inevitable.'
"You're wrong. I'm not afraid to fail. I know that it's okay to fail because I could always try again. I'M NOT AFRAID!" he said as he stood up straight. His crest glowed bright.
Tyromon stood up. He too started to glow. "Tyromon digivolve to Metaltyromon." Metaltyromon looked a lot like Tyromon but he was a little bigger. He now had metal over his head. The marks over his eyes were now on the metal which had holes for his eyes. Metal covered his body and was on his tail, legs, and arms. On the back og his legs were speed boosters. Jason's armor had changed as well. Metalgreymon's metal arm was now over his left arm. His helmet now looked like Metalgreymon's head. He felt his energy being restored.
"I AM NOT AFRAID!" he said.
"Mega Flare." Metaltyromon said. He shot a large stream of fire at Arukenimon. Arukenimon screamed as she digitized into a digiegg. "Metal Claw." Metaltyromon raced towards the black sphere. He was pushed forward by the speed boosters. The black sphere was destroyed.
Jason used his sword to destroy the webs. After things calmed down, they made camp. As they sat around the fire, everyone looked at Jason. "Things aren't a game anymore. We have to get serious. Things aren't going to get easier, but we can do it," Jason said.
The others were ready. They knew the dangers but they thought Jason was right. They could do it.
