When Orbmon came to, he thanked them for freeing hi. He then apologized for attacking them twice. He explained that his freedom was locked within the black sphere. He had no memory of what had happened after Darklordmon had taken control of him. This meant he had no idea where Jason had been taken.
They walked along the path with Gre and Orbmon leading. Everyone walked in silence, worrying about Jason. Rei and Birdmon walked next to Velocimon. She took Jason's disappearance just as hard as Velocimon. Everybody figured out that she liked Jason.
Eventually they made it to a forest next to the mountain ranges. They built a fire and prepared for the oncoming night. They still didn't talk. They just knew that they needed to build a fire. They let Rei and Velocimon sit off to the side as they built the fire. They sat around the fire. A few times, Gre went to say something but stopped himself each time. As the night went on, no one talked until they heard a rustle in the bushes.
"What was that?" Elie asked. A digimon that looked a lot like Warmon stumbled out. All he had was one sword.
"Warriormon!" Orbmon yelled. "What happened?" Everyone figured out that Warriormon was Warmon's rookie form.
"He's…too…strong..." Warriormon said before fainting.
"Did he try to fight Darklordmon?" Gre asked.
"I'm not sure, but I guess so. But why would he? He knows he's not strong enough," Orbmon said. This confused everyone else as well. Everyone went to sleep as Orbmon watched over Warriormon. They didn't know why, but they strongly trusted Orbmon now that they had destroyed the Black sphere that was infecting him.
They had trouble getting to sleep because they were worried about Jason and Warriormon, but they eventually were able to get some rest. They were well rested when they woke the next morning, but Warriormon's condition hadn't improved.
They waited half a day to let Orbmon rest before traveling towards Darklordmon's island. Orbmon carried Warriormon using orbs. Everyone kept their guard up. They didn't know who would attack them or when they would be attacked. But when they were attacked, it was from the one they least expected.
An evil laugh came from the trees above them. They looked up to see the one thing they feared the most.
"No…" Rei whispered out loud. There on a branch was Jason. But there was an evil sense to him. Next to him was a Velocimon that was opposite in color, black where it was supposed to be red and red where it was supposed to be black.
