Chapter 16: Journey's New Start

"You have failed Minervamon!" A dark shadowy figure (aka Arkadimon mega mode) with a cloak around his whole body and then turned away from her and walked over to GranDracmon who was kneeling with the other 3 digimon besides Minervamon.

"I can do the job your evil-ship." He pledged and looked towards his master. "And I can do it without fault, flawless." He directed his answer partly to Minervamon who was glaring at him angrily.

"Hey, it isn't my fault, those brats had powers that we all haven't seen before and..."

"Enough!" Their master yelled out, cutting off Minervamon and silenced her. She looked at GranDracmon and they made a silent bet that he wouldn't be able to defeat at least one of the digidestined, he took that bet and then they were excused from their master and then he took off in search of the kids.

I'll show that Minervamon that I'm way better than she is, He thought then smiled evilly as he spotted some digimon having a nice stroll around the desert. I have an idea... He thought as he snuck up to the little digimon.

****

The Warriors all started to make their way through the desert like place and to the so called oasis.

"Are we there yet?" Auroramon asked bored as she rode on Takuya's shoulder.

"Just hold on a sec." Takuya said as he slowed down a bit to see if they were getting closer. Then he turned around and saw that they seemed to have passed the oasis.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Shou called out.

"It seems to be a mirage." Kari observed.

"But why can we still see it?" questioned Nami.

"There's something fishy about this." Gatomon said as she snuck up to the mirage. She then snuck her paw through toward the paw and it seemed to be real and then she walked into the area but then disappeared.

"Gatomon!" Kari said as she ran toward the hologram watering hole.

"Great, now we lost both Kari and Gatomon!" Veemon said.

"Stop, your freaking everybody out!" Takuya said sternly as he examined the situation. It seemed that Auroramon was right the whole time, just like she always is. Is someone trying to separate us? Takuya wondered then noticed that TK was making his way toward the oasis.

"TK stop, what are you doing?" Davis called out as Patamon was trying to pull TK back towards their friends. He obviously didn't have a chance against TK in his size.

"We don't know what's going on yet buddy." Takuya called and ran over to TK and tackled him so that he couldn't move.

"Get off, Kari and Gatomon are off somewhere and I can't just stay here and wonder what happened to them." TK yelled as everyone looked at eachother.

"Yah I know that but we can't go off by ourselves either and risk separating from eachother and going off on our own." Takuya explained as TK's expression softened up. He finally understood that they need a plan of attack and then they both got up and started to make their way over to the others to make a plan but then something suddenly grabbed Takuya's leg and started to drag him into the direction of the oasis.

"Takuya!" Auroramon called and tried to pull him back but she was just as a match for the force pulling Takuya just as Patamon was to pulling TK back. Then TK turned and saw that they were going to get pulled into the oasis and TK didn't want to lose another pair of friends.

"Hey, let them go!" TK grabbed a plank of wood lying around on the ground and whacked the plant like thing trying to haul them in. But it wouldn't give up and another one slapped TK away and completely pulled them in.

"Oh no..." Zoe said and wondered who else was going to get pulled into that vortex. They all called TK back and he started to run but stopped when a gust of wind started to push them toward the oasis.

"Who's causing this?" Koji looked around just like everyone else.

"There!" Koichi pointed to the top a nearby tree and there stood a large digimon with some Biyomon who were flapping their wings as hard as they could so that the kids could get sucked into the oasis which they thought was a portal to another part of the digital world.

"It's GranDracmon." Cody said as he held onto Armadillomon who was planted firmly into the sand but still budging inch by inch.

"What's he doing here?" Nami asked as he told them their story.

"I am here on a mission, a mission to destroy you digidestined kids. But I realized that I couldn't do that when you kids are all together so I decided to separate you from your friends." He laughed.

"But that doesn't explain the Biyomon, why would they work for you?" Zoe challenged him.

"I used my Eye of the Gorgon on them to find a hidden darkness in their hearts and manipulated them to follow my orders." He laughed again.

"I won't ever forgive this guy." Davis said angrily, Veemon agreed but GranDracmon didn't like the sound of that and got rid of the Soul Warrior along with everyone else.

"Good riddance to all of you. Now let's go and wreak havoc on these annoyances." He disappeared into the sky.

****

Kari woke up with Gatomon checking if she was alright then sighed in relief when Gatomon saw Kari waking up.

"Gatomon, where am I?" She got up slowly. "And why is the sky different shades of dark purple and rocks are all dark?"

"Well, we seem to be in a fantasy world created by GranDracmon." Auroramon said as she came over to Gatomon's side when she heard that she was awake.

"How do you know that GranDracmon is behind this?" Gatomon asked in confusion. She hadn't sensed the presence of any Shadow Martials in the area.

"Well, I felt his presence in the area before you disappeared into the portal so it occurred to me that he was the one who created the fake oasis just to draw our attention and separate us from eachother." She explained, Gatomon still had no idea how she could have sensed him since she didn't but then it occurred to her that Auroramon was the Guardian of the Legendary Warriors, hand chosen by Ophanimon herself so it made sense that she would probably feel and sense things that normal digimon wouldn't.

"Hey wait, Auroramon if your here then where's..." But before she could finish, she saw Takuya behind Gatomon and Auroramon unconscious on the ground like she was.

"Oh yah, we were sucked into the portal too and I'm guessing that the others were too by now but probably in different worlds than this one." Auroramon's assumption seemed to be right to Kari but confused her a bit then Takuya slowly started to wake up.

"That was fast." Gatomon said and made her way over to Takuya and saw that he looked almost as confused as Kari did when she first woke up.

"Wow, well, isn't this place just full of surprises." Takuya seemed a bit annoyed that he'll be transferring from world to world again. This is Shakkakoumon all over again. He thought. (I know I spelled it wrong, sue me.)

Then Gatomon's ears perked up and she said that something is coming their way.

****

"AH!" Koji, Tommy and Nami were shot to another world, just like Auroramon suspected but this world was colourful with lots of fluff, EVERYWHERE.

"What in the..." Koji looked around tossing fluff out of his face.

"Why am I in cotton candy like puff balls? And where are we?" Nami looked around confused, this was only her 2nd or 3rd time in the digital world and she didn't like it at all, she wished that she was back at home with Yolei and the guys.

"Wee, I like this place." Tommy said hopping up and down like mad.

"Yah, Tommy, glad you like this place but we have to get out of here." Koji said, obviously hating the fluffiness that he was sitting in.

"Fine." Tommy said and got out of the fluff pit. Next was Nami who was helped down by Koji.

"Well, now what do we do?" Tommy asked then they suddenly saw pairs of eyes that pierced them like daggers. "What do we do?" Tommy asked again.

"RUN!" Koji said unexpectedly but sure enough, the 3 of them high tailed it out of there, not wanting to find out who owned those piercing eyes. Why did I have to be stuck with a kid and the new girl... Koji moaned but kept running.

****

Davis plopped on the ground with Veemon sitting on top of him. "Get off anytime, I'm good down here." Davis said sarcastically.

"Well, I'm pretty sure that it's better to stand up Davis." Then he realized that he was using sarcasm. "Oh, it's you scar phasm again right?" Veemon smiled thinking that he got it right.

"Veemon, it's SAR-CASM." He said slowly so that it would sink into Veemon's head. Veemon nodded but still didn't understand, then he noticed that Zoe was here and so was Cody and Armadillomon. The two ran over to them and wondered if they were alright.

"Yah, never better." Zoe said.

"I had better days." Amadillomon answered.

"Me too." Cody added.

"Cool so us 3 are here but now we have to find the others." Davis said but Zoe didn't sound so thrilled to hear that.

"Oh, can't we take a short break, my feet are killing me from all the running that we did before." She complained.

Davis looked at Veemon who was still figuring out the sarcasm thing, Cody was still observing the area which had peculiar objects floating around. Cody thought that it was almost impossible but he guessed that he was wrong. Davis then agreed to take a break so they could figure out where they were and what they're going to do to find their friends.

"Well, where are we exactly?" Zoe pushed away a floating drumstick threatening to poke her in the eye.

"It seems like a parallel world or fantasy world if you will, created by GranDracmon." Cody concluded.

"Right and probably the only way to get out of this place is to defeat the challenge that he lays before us." Armadillomon said.

"Ok, so then where are we suppose to find this so called challenge?" Davis asked.

"We could look around for someone and ask for directions." Veemon said but he got stared down then there came a rustle in the bushes along with some rattles as if they were crying out battle cries.

Davis and the others turned towards the bushes and waited for something to happen. They got to their feet and stood in their battle positions, waiting for some kind of attack.

"TK!" Patamon looked around for his partner after their crash towards the hard forest floor.

"Patamon is that you?" Shou pushed aside the bushes that he was standing and made his way over to his flying digimon friend.

"Shou, do you know where TK is?" Patamon looked a bit worried.

"Well," Shou started to think but then Koichi came from behind a tree along with TK.

"So I guess that the 3 of us are here alone in the part of the digital world. Where are we anyways?" Koichi asked looking at the trees that were a part of the forest that he's never seen before in his life.

"Well, what do you want us to do TK?" Patamon wondered as he flew to his partner's head.

"Um... well we should probably start looking for our friends, for all we know is that they're around here somewhere, right?" TK suggested.

"Well, there's no harm in trying." Shou added.

"You got that right so let's go. But where?" Koichi asked them.

"Patamon?" They all looked at him expectantly. Patamon suddenly started to feel pressured as if he was getting backed up into a corner.

"Um... We should probably go east, she should meet someone eventually right? So there is a possibility that there's someone around here that might've seen them. And if we do find a person, then they could direct us toward some sort of direction." They all agreed with Patamon so they went east like Patamon had said. Hopefully we don't really run into any trouble while we're here. Thought TK, I wonder if Matt and the others are there yet? He wondered.

****

"Why won't she go away?" Izzy moaned in the car.

"Well she's here for Matt so I think this is his duty to get rid of her." Tai said.

"Come on Matt, suck it up and tell her." Gabumon encouraged his partner who took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.

"Jun, you have to move." Matt said firmly as Davis' older sister, Jun laid on the road in front of their car, preventing them from moving forward.

"NO! I'm not letting you guys leave me again." She cried and didn't move an inch.

"Geez, Matt doesn't have what it takes." Tai said and got out of the car.

"Tai, what are you doing?" Agumon asked still hidden from the world.

"Tai?" Matt noticed his friend come out of the car then bent over to Jun. She looked stunned by Tai looking down at her.

"Hey, Jun, we're going to have to leave soon and we're sorry but we can't bring you this time..."

"Like we even invited her last time." Izzy said quietly in the car.

"And Sora said that she's waiting for you to come with her to the mall." Tai finished. Then Jun sprung up and thanked Tai then dashed for the mall. Izzy, Matt and Matt's dad were all stunned. Tentomon and the others just looked confused.

"That's that, let's get going Matt." Tai said dusting off his hands and jacket then got back in the car quietly. Matt followed still not believing that he really got Jun to leave even without ditching her in the first place.

"So is Sora really at the mall waiting for her to come?" Agumon asked Tai.

"Yah, that's why I called her before I got out. She was happy to help if it meant no distractions for us to help the others." Tai said smiling.
