OMG, I'm soooooooo sorry it took so long to get this chapter up. I found this fan fic, and I've been reading it non-stop, but I just got to the last updated chapter, so for now I am going to be writing as much as I can to get more done. Again, sorry it took so long!

Chapter 14

A Plea from a Friend

"That's Kelly?" Takuya asked in disbelief.

"Sad but true," Freezmon replied, almost in tears.

"But either way she's still our enemy," Kouji said. "We just have to get the spirits of hate away from her and she'll be fine, like with Kouichi."

"Well, if you say so," Beetlemon said.

"I'll take care of her," Lowemon said. "Shadow Meteor!"

Deathmon quickly jumped out of the way and ended up behind Lowemon. "Gotta be faster than that, Broken Heart Attack!"

The hearts were just like Venusmons, but they were black and broken in half instead of pink and whole, but they did even more damage than Venusmons.

Lowemon de-digivolved back into Kouichi and collapsed on the ground.

"Kouichi!" Lobomon yelled. "That's it, you're no friend of mine anymore, Lobomon Kendo!" The warrior charged Deathmon, but she quickly drew her black, heavy sword and countered his attack, and they got into an epic battle with swords; until she used her 'Blade of Despair' attack, and also sent him to the ground de-digivolving.

"Ok, it's our turn," Kazemon, Beetlemon, and Kumamon all said together, then they slide evolved to their Beast Spirits.

They used their combo attack that they used against Icedevimon, but Deathmon got out of MetalKabuterimons shooting range just before he fired, and her broken hearts slammed into each of them, also causing them to de-digivolve.

"That's it, Pyro Tornado!" the Warrior of Fire yelled, but he didn't have any luck either, for she also used her blade of despair on him and he also de-digivolved, leaving Mindy to finish her best friend.

"Come now Mindy, you wouldn't attack me," Deathmon said. "You were always the nice one."

"But if I can defeat you, that'd stop you from hurting anyone else," Freezmon said. "And you're not Kelly anymore; you're a sick monster! Time Dust!" the dust flew from her wings and froze Deathmon, but she didn't waist a single moment before slide evolving to Cannonmon. "Time to end your reign of terror, but please forgive me, Ticking Doom!" the attack shattered Deathmons ears, making her fall to the ground.

"Deathmon, retreat now, you will defeat them later, but right now you must retreat," Myotismons voice said, lifting Deathmon up into the sky.

"No, Kelly!" Cannonmon called, flying up into the air after her friend, but she was too late, for Myotismon had already carried her off to his hideout.

The girl landed gracefully on the floor, de-digivolving.

"Mindy, what happened?" Taichi asked running toward the girl with the rest of his gang and the Floramon in pursuit.

"The evil Digimon that has been terrorizing everyone is my best friend Kelly," Mindy explained. "She was turned evil by Myotismon, and now she wants to kill all of us."

"C'mon, lets get the others somewhere safe, then we can discuss what to do about Kelly," Taichi suggested.

"Ok, Mindy replied.

Kouji opened his eyes, but raised his hand in front of them to block the blinding light coming in through the window directly across from him.

"Oh, your awake!" a cheerful voice said from across the room.

He sat up slowly and looked around the little room, only to discover it was a house… well, the smallest house he'd ever seen.

He thought about what had happened for a minute, and when he remembered who had attacked them he grew furious. Myotismon had turned their friend against them, which wasn't as bad as Cherubimon turning his own brother against him and having them nearly kill each other, but it was still bad.

He remembered the voice he'd heard, and quickly looked over to see who it belonged to, and as he thought, it was a Floramon, standing directly in front of the small door.

"Some of your friends are waiting for you outside at the tree," the Floramon said.

"Ok," Kouji said, standing up and leaning over the get out the small door.

Mindy sat against the big tree with her face in her hands; she had obviously been crying about her friends' betrayal, but Kouji wasn't going to say anything. Sora was trying to comfort the girl, but wasn't having much luck.

"Hey, Kouji, nice to see you're up without turning into a Digimon this time," Takuya teased when he saw the boy.

"Yeah, laugh it up. At least I got turned into a Digimon by saving someone else," Kouji said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Takuya asked.

"You left us after your plan went wrong – remember!"

"Well, I couldn't stay after you nearly died!" Takuya yelled back offended.

"But you could've made a different plan, or we could've run away which would have been the logical thing to do."

"Sorry," Kouichi squeaked out quietly.

Both boys looked at him; they had forgotten all about the fact that Kouichi was actually Duskmon, and that he was partly responsible for his brothers near death experience.

"So, when do we eat?" Junpei asked, walking out of his own little house and over to the group.

"Yeah, I wouldn't mind some of that Floramon soup stuff," Izumi said.

"We'll make up a big batch right now!" the Floramon said rushing into one of the houses.

"I can't believe Kelly is evil," Mindy said. "I mean, I always knew she would do something stupid, because she was always talking about how no one cared for her, and she said she was shocked to get the spirits of love, but I never thought she would go and turn to the dark side."

"Hey, Mindy, Kelly didn't do this to herself, Myotismon did," Takuya said. "And that's why we have to fight her so we can help her, all she really needs is some fractal code digitizing, and she'll be fine."

"Yeah, it worked on Kouichi, and Cherubimon had a pretty big grip on him, I'm positive that it'll work on Kelly to," Izumi said.

"And I even had the Spirits of Darkness, which is defiantly more evil than the Spirits of Love," Kouichi added. "If we can just get Venusmon to come back out, it'll be fine."

"Thanks guys," Mindy said, whipping tears from her cheeks.

"So all we have to do is get the spirits of hate away from her, but it might be harder than it sounds," Takuya said.

"Or maybe we don't have to get them away from her, but just purify them," Kouji said. "Cause Hate is the opposite of Love, so that means that if we can purify the hate, it will turn back to love."

"So, how do you suggest we get her back to our side?" Taichi asked.

"Well, it seems logical that we just do what we always do and attack all at once and then if that doesn't work…" Takuya said, pausing to scratch the back of his head. "…We just hope we can win."

"Yeah, some plan," Sora said. "What are you guys whispering about?" she asked, turning to Kouji, Kouichi, and Mindy, who had been yapping on between them selves the whole time.

"You guys distract her," Kouji said. "The three of us can handle it from there."

The Warriors of Lights expression of serious, and his eyes widened, making the whole thing seem much more dramatic than it really was.

"Buddy, again with the dramatics!" Takuya yelled.

Kouji smirked, but it quickly faded and he turned back to his normal serious expression.

"But how do we find her?" Yamato asked.

"Well, normally with these evil Legendary Warriors it's harder to find them than avoid them, so we should probably just wander around for a while and wait for her to find us," Junpei said.

They decided to continue on looking for Myotismon while they waited for Kelly to find them.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"FOOL!" Myotismon yelled, slashing with his blood-red whip. "How could you be so close to losing to them?"

"Lord Myotismon, I'm sorry. It was that Beast Spirit; she was to powerful," Deathmon explained, gripping her left arm where the whip slashed her.

"Well then get rid of her!" Myotismon yelled in anger, again aiming his whip. "Need I remind you what will happen if those warriors get in my way? I can easily turn you back to one of them if I wanted to, so don't fail me again!"

"Yes Lord Myotismon, I won't fail you again."

"Good, now go find and destroy them!"

Deathmon floated out of the under ground layer and back to the outside world to find her former team mates and destroy them.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"So this is how you found the bad guys you needed to fight?" Taichi asked as both groups of Digi-destined wandered through the forest.

"Yeah pretty much, except with Duskmon; he was the only one that we had to run away from and he still found us," Takuya said.

Kouichi gave him an apologetic look.

"I finally found you!" a voice said.

"I think she found us," Junpei said quietly.

"Yeah, are you guys ready?" Takuya asked.

Everyone nodded and spirit evolved, with the original Digi-destined helping their partners to Digivolve to their Champion, then Ultimate forms.

They all attacked from the front, but while Deathmon was distracted with that, Lobomon, Lowemon, and Freezmon all jumped her from the side and back, but she sensed them and jumped out of the way, causing the three warriors to slam into each other.

"You really thought that those attacks would really work on me?" she asked. "Pathetic!"

"HOWLING LASER!"

"SHADOW METOER!"

Both attacks flew at her from either side, but she quickly leaped into the air, and the attacks slammed into the twins, causing them to fly back, but also doing a good amount of damage from the opposite elements hitting them with so much force.

"You guys ok?" Agunimon asked.

"We're fine," Kouji replied. "Just keep fighting."

"Right, PYRO TORNADO!!" the Fire attack flew at Deathmon, but failed to hit her with its full power, but it barely nicked the bottom of her cape.

"TEMPEST TWIST!" the furious tornado of kicks hit Deathmon once, but she ducked down and sent Kazemon slamming into a tree.

"FROZEN TUNDRA!" an icicle with a white bear head on it dropped down and scrapped Deathmons shoulder, but not much else.

"THUNDER FIST!" a fist of furious thunder slammed down on the ground, causing the forest floor to crumble beneath the Warrior of Hate. She fell to her knees, but before she could stand, there was a small dagger shoved in font of her throat.

"It's over, Kelly," Freezmon said, her blue-green eyes flashing with seriousness.

"My name is not Kelly; it's Deathmon," the evil Warrior corrected. "And it's not over until I say it's over! Slide Evolution!" In the place of Deathmon was a Indigo Digimon with bandages covering her whole torso, and the bottom of her arms, along with all of her face but her eyes. "MummyDeathmon."

"Oh dear, it's MummyDeathmon," Bokomon said. "She is the Beast Spirit of Hate, and can turn anyone to her side with her 'Claw of Betrayal' attack. She also has black feathers that come from her dark angelic wings. She is defiantly bad news."

"Come on, MetalGreymon, take her down!" Taichi called.

"MEGA CLAW!" a claw flew off of MetalGreymons hand and wrapped around MummyDeathmon, followed by the attacks of his fellow Digimon friends, but none of the attacks seemed to have effect on the Digimon.

"SHADOW FEATHERS!" the black feathers flew from the black angel wings and stabbed at the Adventure Digimon, causing them to de-digivolve back to their rookie forms.

"Guys, Beast Spirits," Takuya said, and they all slide evolved to their Beasts.

"HOWLING STAR!" Kendogarurumon sprang forward, charging at MummyDeathmon before he heard Takuyas warning.

"CLAW OF BETRAYAL!" the evil warrior said, getting ready to slash the warrior of light with her attack the second he got close enough to her.

"WILD FIRE TSUNAMI!" the rain of Fire crashed into MummyDeathmon, making her lose her attack and giving Kouji a chance to slice at her.

"AVALANCH AXES!" the Beast of Ice yelled, slamming down on the Digimon hard with his axes before she could get up.

"Ok, we almost have her," Takuya said.

"I don't think so!" a voice called from the sky.

"Myotismon!" Taichi exclaimed.

"Right you are," the voice replied, taking the form of a Vampire Digimon in front of the gang.

Cannonmon rushed forward and grabbed MummyDeathmon by her short hair, holding her cannon gun to the Digimons head. "Don't come any closer, or else Hatred here gets it."

She didn't plan on really shooting her, but she wanted to seem like she wouldn't have any second thoughts about it.

"Go ahead, she failed me again, so I have no interest in keeping her with me; I was going to kill her anyway," Myotismon said. "I've found someone else to serve me, and I know they will be much better suited for the job."

"Yeah, than why don't you have them come out and fight us instead of coming to face us yourself?" BurningGreymon asked.

"Because, first I had to come and get them," Myotismon said, eyeing the group. "But, it seems you are ready to kill me if I make a move closer, so I won't try right now, but I will be back."

He disappeared into a sky, leaving bats flying around everywhere.

"What was that all about?" Zephyrmon asked, turning back into Izumi.

"I have no clue," MetalKabuterimon replied, also de-digivolving into Junpei.

"So now what are we supposed to do?" Mindy asked, putting MummmyDeathmon on the ground. "It seems like he might be after one of us."

"Well, we just be careful, and hope we find him before he finds us again," Kouichi said.

"And what are we supposed to do about her?" Kouji asked, pointing to MummyDeathmon.

"Well, we can't get the evil Spirits away from her unless the Data is showing, so we just gotta find another way to do it," Takuya said.

"We should probably make camp for the night; it's getting late," Izumi said.

"Yeah, and maybe we can find some Meat Apples!" Junpei exclaimed.

They went off to get fire wood and find some Meat Apples somewhere, while the Adventure gang stayed behind with Mindy to watch MummyDeathmon, and make sure she didn't wake up and leave.

"What are Meat Apples?" Taichi asked Mindy.

Mindy shrugged, "beats me."

After about a half an hour the gang came back with wood and tons of Meat Apples.

The Adventure gang stared at the strange white apples.

"What are these?" Sora asked.

"They're Meat Apples," Takuya explained. "They taste like meat!"

"Oh," Mimi said, picking one up and taking a big bite out of it.

"NO!" the Frontier gang yelled, but they were too late.

Mimi spit out the bite of apple, "That's disgusting! How do you eat these things?"

"You're supposed to cook them," Izumi said.

"Oh," Mimi said. "Well that would've been nice to know!"

After about 2 hours of telling stories and eating Meat Apples they all went to bed, but of course when everyone went to sleep, someone else woke up, very worried about what Myotismon would say when he found out she had lost, so she decided to run, and never stop running until she found somewhere safe.

She stopped in the heart of the forest, where the trees were thick, and the leaves covered up the light from the moons. She took this chance to de-digivolve back into Deathmon, and wondered why those other warriors had helped her? They were her enemy – or that's what Myotismon said. Did he lie to her? He wouldn't!

She decided to ask him, so she went toward his layer, unaware of the wolf-like Digimon following her with curiosity.

She entered into the hole that lead down to the layer and the wolf Digimon followed down in pursuit, trying to keep his balance down the steep slope.

"Aw, Deathmon, I see you've dared to return," Myotismon said as she entered into a big room. "I thought for sure that those Digi-destiend really were going to kill you, but I guess I can't expect them to do that, seeing as you were their partner."

"You were going to let them kill me?" Deathmon asked in disbelief.

"Well, I would have killed you anyway, so I figured I'd let them do the work for me, but if you really would rather I destroyed you myself I'd-"

"Stop right there, Myotismon," the wolf Digimon said, stepping out into the opening that lead into the main room. The light from the moon coming into the hole above him shown down on him, making his white and purple armor shine.

"Ah, Lobomon, I see you've decided to join us," Myotismon said with a grin. "I'd hoped you would come of your own free will."

"What do you mean by that?" the Warrior asked, pulling out his saber.

"Well, I've been waiting for someone powerful to help me take over this world, and it seems like your siblings have also been to the dark side, so I decided on you to join me, cause what could be better than having the triplets have even more in common, like helping to destroy this world?"

"I don't have a triplet, only a twin," Lobomon corrected. "And what do you care about what happened with Kouichi?"

"I care because it'd only be fair to your dear siblings if you were also on my side at some point."

"I only have a brother! No more than that, why do you keep saying 'siblings'?"

"Because, I know something you don't; like the fact that you have a sister," Myotismon replied.

"You're lying!" the Warrior accused. "Why would I not know about her?"

"The same reason you didn't know about your brother!" Myotismon said. "Your father hid her from you, and he was actually going to tell you the day you left for the Digital World."

Could this be an answer to my question Deathmon wondered?

"You're lying, my father would have told me when he found out I knew Kouichi!" Lobomon said, wondering if he should believe the Digimon or not.

"I tell you the truth, and she is someone that you know also," the Vampire replied.

"He's telling the truth," Deathmon said. "I know her personally."

"Then where is she?" Lobomon asked.

"She is in danger, and you need to save her by defeating me," she replied. "And then she will come out, and help you defeat Myotismon."

"Well, to bad you won't remember this conversation at all," Myotismon said. "Because you will soon be joining me in my rein of terror throughout the Digital World!"

"I don't think so," Lobomon said, pushing the button on his saber and making a beam of light blue light shoot out from it. He charged at Myotismon, and to his surprise, Deathmon helped him.

"Lobomon, get out of here while you still can!" she called to him. "I'll hold him off!"

He turned to run, but looked back at her and she gave him a reassuring look. "I'll be right behind you," she said, and Lobomon jumped out of the tunnel and through the huge hole in the ground.

"BLADE OF DESPAIR!" the black sword glowed red, and shot a steaming red sword at the Vampire, and while he was distracted she made her escape out of the hole, just before the tunnel collapsed.

"You ok?" Lobomon asked the Digimon.

She nodded in response, "now I am. I was so confused, but I know why I came here now."

"We'd better get back before the others realize we're gone," Lobomon said, looking at the moons going down on the horizon.

"You go ahead, I still have some things I need to sort out on my own for a while," she replied.

"You sure?" he asked, and she nodded in response. Lobomon slide evolved to KendoGarurumon and put his wheels on the ground, and sped of in the direction of the area where they made their camp.

Deathmon looked on as he disappeared in the distance before she turned her own way deep into the forest. I think I know the answer to my question now, but I have to be sure.

To be continued

Well, I wanted to have a twist where Kouji was bad, but I wasn't sure if I should or not, but maybe if I feel like making this a few chapters longer. And yes, Kouji and Kouichi have a triplet sister!!! (My idea) who she is? You'll just have to find out in the next chapter!
