No Name

By Dark Angel

I so do not own Digimon. I just own the poor idea, Dozu, and most of the teams that will be mentioned later. I do hope you like the story and plot!

I wake up to some screaming going on. I run out of the tent to find Matt, Izzy, and Ken running after a small digimon screaming as if they are going to kill him. I shake my head at the fact that they woke me up because of something this trivial. I wait for everyone to calm down so that I can find out why the digimon was here.

"I've been sent to tell you that you have six more adults to free and six children to free. Master says to move out now" bows the Digimon before he takes off.

"Well, we better hurry up and move on" I say closing my eyes and concentrating on the next Crest nearest our position.

I chuckle at the irony of this one. I can now feel the Love and Sincerity crest nearby. If only I hadn't sent Cody home last night, he would be able to take at least his wife home. I can only she has their children with her. If not? We'll have to go looking for their children eventually.

"It looks like Yolie is the next closest one to us," I state moving forward.

"This is really starting to bug me. Isn't there a way to speed up this process?" asks Ken.

"I'm afraid not, there is no way to speed this up" sighs Izzy.

"This is not good for us" remarks Matt as we all continue on our walk.

I am unsure what I am going to once I meet this Dark Digimon. I guess, I should start calling Dark instead of evil, because Digimon don't really take sides only humans do. I look up to see Yolie and Hawkmon ready for battle. I stand back as Agumon, Wormon, and Gabumon move forward to keep Hawkmon busy while I go to release Yolie.

"Hawkmon, destroy all those in the way" yells Yolie.

I wait until after Agumon, Wormon, and Gabumon charge Hawkmon before I run up to Yolie. Matt and Ken hold Yolie from attacking me. I place my hand on her forehead as she struggles to get free from our friends. I have to do this as quickly as possible or Hawkmon will attack me.

I look deep into the Crests to draw forth the Crest of Sincerity and Love within Yolie. I must make them known to Yolie, so that she can fight off the mind control with her own power. She must regain control on her own, all I can do is show her the way and hope she will do the rest.

I remove my hand, take a step back, and watch as Yolie fights within herself to free herself from the mind control. I sit down and wait because I can't do anything to help her out anymore. She screams in pain and grasps her head as she fights him off. It is so hard for us to just sit back and watch.

Yolie finally stops screaming, lifts her head up, and looks at us for a little while before turning to see Hawkmon attack Agumon. "Hawkmon stop it" she screams and runs up to him.

She struggles to get Hawkmon under control so that she can lift his controlled mind. It must hurt to know that she commanded her digimon to attack her friends even if she was under the control of someone else and had no say in what she did. All we can do is wait for the two to come back to us.

It seems that everything will be fine. She seems to have destroyed the mind control on both of them. "Hey, thank you guys" smiles Yolie. "I didn't think I would be able to get away from the mind control without some help."

"It's fine; we should now move on from here and continue our journey for our friends. Your husband is home at Matt's place in the Real World waiting for you," I state.

"It's Tai, Yolie" speaks Ken shifting his weight from one foot to the other.

"I see, the children are with Will, I don't know about anything else," sighs Yolie sitting down.

"Rest while you can, we'll be leaving as soon as we know who is our next friend to free" remarks Matt.

I tune them out again and concentrate on the next crest that is nearest us. I sense a few more out there and the only one close to us, which is a few hours away, is the Crest of Hope. T.K. is next with Patamon. Matt will love this; his brother is to be freed next. I open my eyes and stare out at the vast forest that we will most likely come to once we reach T.K.

"The next crest is the Crest of Hope" I say just loud enough for Matt to hear me.

"T.K. is next. My brother" he breathes out almost sitting down.

"Yes, once he is free we shall send the two of them to your home in the Real World" I remark moving forward.

Yolie talks to Izzy the entire walk, asking about how Russia went and what had happened to us while there. Matt walks on my left while Ken is on my right. Agumon, Wormon, and Gabumon are in front of us. I guess my protection is the most important one at the moment, because everyone has been ordered to kill me.

I do hope we find everyone and free them before Matt and I have to face off against this Dark Digimon. I will want them home in the Real World, so they cannot interfere or get hurt while we fight against him. We do not stop to eat our food; we continue walking while eating, as we must hurry to free those who are still trapped.

We don't have time to mess around right now. Our friends and family are being ordered to stay in certain places to wait for me to arrive. Then they are being ordered to kill me on site. So far, none of the digimon have been in any other form but the rookie form and I hope it continues that way.

I don't want anyone to be harmed because of me. It seems that after being controlled they are exhausted and weak for a period of time before they can gain any kind of strength back. We will have to be careful with random digimon attacks. We can't let those who are weak get into dangerous situations, as it could prove fatal to them.

I stop a few feet away from T.K., god, he doesn't look like himself at all. I turn to look at Matt; this must be hard on him, to have his brother as the enemy for the first time and against me his lover. I must bring T.K. back as soon as possible, but it seems he is smarter that the others.

"Welcome, Crest of Life Holder, it seems that the Dark Lord Digimon has not given you a challenge as of yet" chuckles T.K.

"Nah, they are a challenge, just not in his eyes. Having to watch friends go through something painful and know that there is nothing one can do is painful for those of us who have to watch," I state ignoring the look on his face. "Besides, this isn't what he wants to begin with; he just wants to see me suffer. I already am, just knowing that he has taken my friends from me."

"Unfortunately, things will not change" grins T.K. "Patamon, attack Agumon and kill him off, and if you can't, harm him to the point he can't protect the Crest of Life Holder anymore."

"Agumon" I shout as he charges Patamon head on.

"Gabumon, help Agumon out" says Matt running up to his brother with Izzy.

"Wormon, help them too" states Ken keeping his eyes out for any stray digimon that might attack us.

"Hurry and save me or else your digimon will die" laughs T.K. struggling against Izzy and Matt's hold.

"Damn" I whisper out, walking up to T.K. already searching for the Crest of Hope.

There is only one person holding the Crest of Hope and I must free him. I place my hand on his forehead and start pulling up the Crest of Hope. I feel his crest working on me, giving me hope that everyone will come out fine and I will defeat this darkness. I smile as I push it towards T.K.

I pull my hand away and turn to look at the fight between Agumon, Gabumon, and Wormon against Patamon. Good, none of the digimon are hurt. It seems that are avoiding hurting Patamon and taking his attacks. All we can do is wait for T.K. to come out of his fight and release Patamon.

I sit down, I make sure Yolie is sitting down, and that Hawkmon will not join the fight, as he is too weak to join. I understand wanting to join to protect those that are important to you, but we cannot go all out against our friends. We must simply sit back and wait everything out and hope that all turns out well.

It doesn't take T.K. long to fight off the rest of the mind control before he is moving over to release Patamon from it. The only thing I am wondering about is how do they already know that their digimon is being controlled as well. It must be the bond between digimon and human that exists.

The bond is really strong, a digimon will only listen to the one human they have chosen to partner up with.

"It must have been worse for Wormon" speaks Ken from beside me.

"What do you mean?" asks Matt.

"Wormon is a kind digimon and cannot harm those that he deems important as well as good. I being the only one controlled between our bond and I forced him to do things he never would have done otherwise," states Ken looking on sadly. "I don't know how you have forgiven me so easily Wormon."

"I don't blame you for what you made me do and I never will," remarks Wormon coming to comfort Ken.

"None of us blame you but the Digimon that controlled you," says Yolie petting Hawkmon.

"When you became your true self, you worked harder than the rest of us to make everything right again" states Izzy. "It is only natural for a digimon to know their partners true self and can tell when one is being controlled, it is the same with us humans. We can tell when our digimon partner is being controlled against their will."

"You have nothing to fear from us or Wormon. The best for you and everyone else is to put it behind you and move on with your life. If not, you will be stuck in a past that no one looks back on anymore" I remark smiling when T.K. pulls away from Patamon and stands up. "Time to go."

"I'm sorry everyone for attacking" speaks T.K. once he is standing before us.

"Time to return to the Real World" speaks Matt hugging his brother.

"Yes, then we may move on and free the next one from being controlled" I say not moving as I close my eyes.

"We'll send others over once we find them," remarks Ken opening the portal.

"One thing before you go, is Yukiko here?" asks Izzy.

"No, she stayed home in the Real World," answers T.K. as he and Patamon take off through the portal to Matt's home.

"At least we don't have to worry about her being controlled," sighs Matt.
