Here we are, now we go to the Digital World on a rescue mission with the team, Sakura reporting of course lol. R&R please!
'Man, I can't believe Arukenimon's ruining our day off like this.' Davis complained as my computer loaded up. His comment was met by several angry nods from the team. Arukenimon had made a major mistake messing with us today.
'She's going to pay, harshly.' TK agreed crossing his arms and glaring at the wall like it was the cause for our trouble. Poor wall.
'Yeah, no one kidnaps my brother.' Kari agreed firmly. Typical Kari caring more for others than her ruined day, though I imagine she was rather annoyed by it.
'Hey no one ruins my date!' Yolei countered starting to bring up the portal program.
'How are we going to find them, Izzy normally does that stuff.' Davis pointed out. He had a point, but he should know we always found a way.
'D-3's, I can program the computer to send us to the correct sector and we can track the signal from there.' Yolei assured us with a confident grin. Sorted.
'Good, then what are we waiting for?' Kari asked stepping forward to the computer.
'Let's give Arukenimon a taste of her own medicine.' Ken suggested with a smirk worthy of the emperor. It almost made me feel sorry for her, and then I remembered she ruined our date and wondered if he'd let me help.
'We'll teach her to respect Digidestined Holidays.' I added my piece giving Ken a nod. He gave me a grin obviously planning to make up for Arukenimon's interruption.
'Time for some payback.' TK confirmed raising his Digivice. The rest of us copied him ready to open the gate. We were going to teach that spider a lesson.
'Digi-Gate, OPEN!' Davis commanded as the usual lightshow started transporting us to the Digital World.
'Evil Citadel, I told you there was a pattern.' I noted the second we arrived. We were stood on the edge of cliff looking across a large ravine at what could only be described as Dracula's castle. It wasn't the same as Myotismon's but it had the same evil being vibe but this one was more forestry, suited for a spider rather than a bat, all in all a suitable evil spider hideout.
'Cheery as always.' Ken noted sarcastically taking in the sight. Cody inched forward and looked down the ravine. My fingers itched to grab him back but I held back the urge knowing he was fine.
'I'd like to point out that it's a good thing we can fly.' Cody said with a concerned frown. I glanced down and winced at the large drop. I couldn't see the bottom, just black nothingness.
'If we fly then we're easy targets, Arukenimon has to be expecting us.' Davis countered flustered as he looked over the ravine. Um, he did have a point.
'He's right, we'll be seen a mile off if we fly in, but if there are any land paths they're bound to have guards.' TK agreed with a sigh. Again, not helping.
'I'd say have Digmon make a tunnel but in the Digital World I wouldn't guarantee there is a bottom to this thing.' Yolei noted with a groan. So now we needed te
'That's certainly a point, but what does that leave? We can't go above, below or straight.' Ken had that annoyed look on his face that he got when he couldn't solve a problem. I put a hand on his arm and he gave me a tight smile still thinking.
'Sakura, any ideas?' Davis asked turning to me. I frowned and closed my eyes focusing. Ground; no, that wouldn't work, underground; it would take far to long.
'Flying is the best option; the others don't feel like they'll work.' I decided opening my eyes and looking at them. Davis nodded and turned to Ken.
'I can't fly, give me a hand?' He asked raising his Digivice.
'Certainly.' Ken replied with a grin pulling out his Digivice. After they'd gone though the Digivolutions Ken and Davis hopped on to Paildramon. Ken offered me a hand and I climbed on sitting beside him.
'Hawkmon.' Yolei said to her partner digivolving him to Aquilamon. Kari and TK used Armour to bring out Pegasusmon and Nefertimon.
'I'll scout ahead.' Lalamon said floating up and in front.
'Be careful.' I called after her frowning.
'This place is even creepier on the inside.' Cody noted as we slipped in through a balcony on top.
'I'm glad we didn't do the land route, did you see the guards on the drawbridge?' TK asked catching Patamon as he Digivolved. The rest of the partners did as well to conserve power and be less noticeable.
'I just hope they didn't see us.' Kari agreed thing to the mini-army that had been assembled at the end of a land bridge that looked like it wouldn't survive a fight.
'Just think, we would of probably gone that way and gotten caught if not for Saki.' Davis pointed out giving me a proud grin. I blushed slightly but smiled at the praise.
'Yeah, but now we're at the top of the citadel. The others will be in the dungeons most likely and those are traditionally at the bottom.' Yolei brought up the problem with crossed arms and an angry expression.
'Maybe, let's check the D-3's and see if we can get a signal.' TK suggested grabbing his own. Davis did the same and looked at it.
'There below us, about ten floors I think. Shame this doesn't come with a map.' Davis sighed running his hand though hiss hair in agitation. 'We can't just go charging in, someone will get hurt.' He continued groaning.
'He's right, but he's forgetting about Sakura.' Ken gave me a grin and I nodded.
'I can sense the right path for us.' I agreed closing my eyes. I smiled and pointed. 'That way, take the third right, second left, though the fourth door on the left and across the bridge. I'll tell you more after we've covered that.' I promised.
'How many bad guys on that route?' Davis asked frowning.
'Less than the others, if we're careful we might be able to sneak around them.' I admitted scowling slightly at the less than perfect option we had.
'It's good enough, and just think of the control spires she got rid of making this lot.' Davis said trying to cheer up the gloom mood.
'Every cloud has a silver lining I guess.' TK agreed laughing.
'Down.' I hissed pulling on Ken's arm and dragging him down into the shade behind a statue in the corridor. Cody slipped under a tapestry taking advantage of his small size. Yolei and Kari clambered into an alcove and vanished in the shadows. Davis moved so he was crouched behind the statue across from us and Yolei slid under a stone bench in the corridor. The Digimon stayed with their partners not needing to worry as much with there smaller sizes. The candlelight left plenty of deep shadows for us to hide in and they served us well as a Flymon went past a small window, thankfully not noticing us.
'Sakura, is it safe?' Davis asked in as low a voice as he could without me not hearing. I closed my eyes searching for any signs of danger and felt nothing immediately.
'Yes, let's go.' I instructed standing. Ken shadowed me as we stepped out and the others joined us. Continuing along Davis and Veemon led the way
'I hate sneaking, it's just not my style.' Davis noted, as we had to stop and hide again while some Digimon walked on a bridge over the large room we had to cross.
'Well it beats losing.' TK pointed out warningly. His tone just dared Davis to try and do something rash.
'Well that doesn't mean I have to like it.' Davis countered in a low hiss glaring at TK.
'We can go now.' I told them moving forward. TK and Davis glared at each other for a few more seconds before joining up with us.
'Which way?' Davis asked glancing around and noting the many doors. I frowned looking around.
'I, I don't know. It keeps changing, like the room is moving.' I admitted.
'You look a bit green, is it like one of those spinning rides at the fair?' Kari asked concerned. I nodded recognising the analogy.
'Exactly like that, and its so fast I can't see the exit properly.' I agreed deciding to stop trying to sense it before it made me sick.
'Guys, I'm a hot head and even I don't think just trying doors randomly is a good idea.' Davis pointed out. Cody opened his mouth to say something but a loud whirring sound cut him off.
'What the…' He muttered as we all looked around for the source.
'It sounds like some kind of machine.' TK called over the noise. We all nodded frowning as we tried to figure out what it could be.
'Guys look up!' Yolei yelled pointing at something above us.
'Huh?' We all said before looking up. We gasped as we watched the ceiling open up like an automatic door.
'Get to the sides of the room, now!' Ken ordered his eyes wide. The others wasted no time responding charging to the nearest wall. Ken dragged me quickly and I noticed that we'd all been spread around the sides of them. A loud roar came from above as a huge Digimon dropped into the room taking up a good quarter of the floor space by itself. It had green skin and looked a lot like Frankenstein's monster only much bigger and with a rather nasty looking axe on his back.
'What is that thing?' TK demanded shocked.
'Boltmon, watch out it's a mega level and will crush you with his mere fist.' Ken called out to them.
'I thought Arukenimon couldn't do mega level!' Yolei yelled from across the room in panic.
'Look at it; it's trapped just like us. This was her plan all along.' TK realised startled from his spot next to Cody.
'Everybody Digivolve as high as you can, hit it with everything we have!' Davis ordered raising his Digivice. It didn't take long for the digivolution to take place and soon Paildramon, Silphymon, Ankymon, Angemon and Rosemon were surrounding the monstrous Digimon.
'Rosemon try and take control of it.' I commanded not taking my eyes off it. She nodded and flew up so she hovered over close to Boltmon.
'Thorn Whipping!' Rosemon called out striking the Boltmon with the electrically charged whip. The electricity sizzled through Boltmon but he just laughed grabbing the whip and swinging it so Rosemon was shot at Silphymon knocking them both down.
'Not good.' Davis noted scowling.
'Silphymon, are you okay?' Yolei asked rushing up to her partner.
'Yeah, just in need of an aspirin.' Silphymon promised as both Digimon stood, albeit a bit shakily. We all sighed even as Paildramon attacked only to get knocked against the wall. Boltmon turned towards me and Ken and started stepping towards us drawing his axe out. We gasped and moved barely dodging the axe as it swung cutting a deep grove in the stone floor. Boltmon turned to me and raised his fist pulling back for a punch.
'Ankymon, stop him!' Cody shouted urgently.
'Angemon do something!' TK added moving forward. Just then there Digivices started to beep and Angemon and Ankymon began glowing. After the lightshow a new Digimon stood in their place. It was huge, larger than Boltmon and looked kind of like a suit of armour.
'Shakkoumon.' It said as its eyes began to glow. 'Justice Beam.' It ordered shooting some lasers at Boltmon with perfect aim. Boltmon turned only to be blasted by Silphymon and forced to step back. Paildramon continued the assault making the control spire skin begin to crack. The skin and the Digimon shattered after a well-placed hit from Rosemon.
'What a team.' Davis cheered as the Digimon de-Digivolved back to there baby forms, except for Salamon and Budmon who weren't babies.
'Yeah, but now we can't fight again.' Yolei pointed out scooping up her partner.
'This is bad, there's no way we can leave either.' Cody noted though he seemed pleased about the new digivolution.
'We're in a tight spot.' Ken agreed placing Leafmon gently into my bag so he could sleep.
'We have to find the older guys and reunite them and there partners so they can fight our way out. There's no other way.' Davis suggested helping his own partner into his bag.
'I agree with Davis, it's the only option we have.' Kari spoke up as Salamon walked beside her.
'Then lets go.' Our fearless leader said pointing to a door.
'Davis, that's the way we came in.' Ken told him with a sigh. Davis made a dejected face going, 'oh'.
'It's this one, I can tell now.' I chimed in pointing to a different door.
'That way it is.' Davis said cheerily bounding off to open it.
'Remind me again why we listen to him.' Yolei demanded with a groan as we followed him.
'Well he does get things done, eventually.' Kari defended with a slight smile; probably noting the phrase had often been used with Tai.
'Can't argue with that.' TK agreed carrying his sleeping partner on his head.
'Well he does a good date.' Yolei allowed with a grin.
'Where did you go anyway?' Cody asked confused.
'The football club, we got to see the computer they use to predict the weather conditions and match results. It was fascinating. Davis was interested too cause of the sport stuff.' Yolei said her eyes lighting up just talking about it.
'Not bad, I'm impressed.' Ken said bring Davis back into the conversation as we'd caught up with him.
'I wanted to see that stuff but I would look stupid having to ask about everything. I knew Yolei would like to see the system cause its supposedly really advanced so I figured we'd both be happy and it sounds like it worked.' Davis admitted laughing slightly.
'That it did goggle head.' Yolei agreed giving Davis a peck on the cheek. He blushed but had a goofy grin on his face as he looked at her.
'Not to ruin the moment but we are on a rescue mission here guys.' Cody noted bring them back to reality. Davis nodded scowling at the air.
'Arukenimon is so going to pay for ruining our day off.' He vowed clenching his fists.
