"What is keeping that cat so long?" Grademon said as the other three members of the Gates of the Dragon continued to move through the trees as Ravenhoodmon carried the coffin Davis and Veemon were in.

"I doubt those kids made it out of the barrier already. Madleomon has to stay behind and make sure we get far enough so they can't catch up to us." Reapmon said. Ravenhoodmon looked back as he sensed something.

"What's the matter Ravenhoodmon?" Grademon said. Ravenhoodmon just focused on what was behind them and actually saw something move really fast.

"We're not alone." Ravenhoodmon said as he stopped and the other two stopped. "Just come out already. I know you're there." Stingmon was the one that flew out and straight at them.

"Give us our friend!" Ken shouted.

"Nice try!" Ravenhoodmon said as he pulled out an arrow and fired it.

"Electro Net Arrow."

The arrow burst into a net. It pushed Stingmon back into a tree as both of them were trapped and they were getting shocked.

"I doubt these two are by themselves." Ravenhoodmon said as he looked down. He launched more arrows that cleared the leaves and revealed the others.

"Man this guy is clever." Tai complained.

"Figures Madleomon didn't finish them off." Grademon said.

"I see that one pair is missing. I'm guess he managed to get at least that human and digimon." Reapmon said.

"I wouldn't be so confident. Cody and Armadillomon are going to be here any minute." Matt said. Stingmon managed to pull out his stinger and cut the net to pull him and Ken free.

"Are you two okay?" T.K. said.

"Yeah, don't worry." Ken said.

"Now what do we do? These children are becoming a nuisance." Grademon said.

"It's obvious they're not going to leave us alone. Keeping them trapped in one place didn't seem to work so we'll have to obliterate them." Ravenhoodmon said. "You two go on without me and take this." He kicked the coffin to the other two and Reapmon caught it.

"Very well." Reapmon said.

"Just don't take too long." Grademon said and the two of them continued to go on ahead.

"Hold, it come back here." T.K. said.

"Forget it, kid. You're not even going to get passed me." Ravenhoodmon taunted as he held his bow horizontally. He pulled the string back and a larger arrow made out of energy was starting to form.

"Silencing Missile."

He fired the arrow. All four of them spread out to avoid the attack. When it hit the ground, it made a giant explosion and T.K. found it astonishing that he held that much power. T.K. looked back at the path they came from and was wondering where Cody was.

"We really need Cody now. Where the heck is he?" T.K. said.

"We'll have to fight without him. Burn him down Greymon." Tai said.

"Nova Blast."

Greymon shot his ball of fire, but Ravenhoodmon just jumped to the next tree and avoided his attack.

"He's so fast. Try and get his bow, it seems to be the only weapon he has." Ken said. Angemon flew up and grabbed a hold of it. It was a tug of war with the bow as the rope, but Ravenhoodmon pulled back stronger and kicked Angemon in the stomach to get him to let go.

"Not only is he fast, but strong too." T.K. said. Ravenhoodmon didn't have the least bit of concern written on his face, more like confidence as he disappeared into the trees. "Where did he go?"

"He's camouflaged here. I can't see him anywhere." Angemon said.

"We don't have time. Just keep moving, we need to catch up to those other two." Tai said.

"I guess you're right. Just keep your eyes peeled." Matt said as they started to go after Reapmon and Grademon, but Ravenhoodmon wasn't going to let them escape so easily.

"Run all you want, you can't escape me when I have you in my sight." Ravenhoodmon whispered as he was taking aim.

…

Gates of the Dragon

Grademon and Reapon continued to move further and further away from the fight.

"How long do you think it's going to take Ravenhoodmon to finish off those kids?" Grademon said.

"I don't know, but it's a one out of thousand chance if one of them survive. One out of a million if he digivolves." Reapmon said. "When Ravenhoodmon sees a target, he never lets it out of his sight and always hits his mark. All of his forms consist of the best archers in the digital world."

…

The Digidestined

They kept moving before Ravenhoodmon had the chance to counter attack. Ravenhoodmon was right behind them as he pulled back. He thought he had them as he fired the arrows, but it was as if Stingmon sensed it coming. He pulled out his stinger and blocked the arrow.

"Guys hold up." Stingmon said as they all came to a stop and Ravenhoodmon came out of hiding. "I don't think we'll be able to escape him so easily."

"You're right, but I'm impressed that you were able to feel my arrows coming." Ravenhoodmon said.

"Where does he keep all of those pointers?" Tai said.

"He's got to be generating them or something." Matt said.

"I hate to say it, but one of us is going to have to stay behind and fight this one." Ken said. "You three go on, Stingmon and I will do it."

"Ken's right. I was able to feel his attacks coming. HE might be an ultimate, but I might be able to hold my own against him." Stingmon said.

"Are you sure?" T.K. said.

"He should take him on together." Tai said.

"No. We're going to have to fight one on one." Ken said. "There are four of them and five of us. That gives us the chance to save Davis if things keep going at this rate."

"I still don't think it's a great idea." T.K. said.

"T.K., Davis was the one that saved me from the darkness. As much as I like to return the favor, you might be the only who can save Davis from the darkness this time." Ken said. If Ken says T.K. is the one that can save Davis from the darkness, it must be true because he knows what the grasp of darkness is like. "Now get going, I'll be right behind you."

"Okay." T.K. agreed.

"Make sure you bring Cody when you catch up." Matt said.

"Of course, now go." Ken said. All of them agreed and left with Stingmon ready to fight.

"Oh please, you're not going anywhere." Ravenhoodmon said. He fired more arrows at the guys, but Stingmon intercepted them.

"If you want them, you'll have to get through us." Ken said.

"I'm fine with that." Ravenhoodmon said. Ravenhoodmon dived back into the trees as he hid himself. Ken held onto Stingmon as they were on guard. Stingmon could feel more arrows coming at them and he was able to block them.

"Not bad. Let's see you try and get out of this one." Ravenhoodmon said.

"Electro Net Arrow."

The net came out of the arrow again, but Stingmon could feel that some ordinary arrows were coming from behind. He wasn't going to fall for that. He cut the net and the arrows at incredible speed that surprised Ravenhoodmon. Stingmon flew right at him and held his leg out.

"Spinning Spiking Strike."

Stingmon was tossing kicks at him at rapid speed and created blades of wind. Ravenhoodmon tried to block him, but couldn't. Ravenhoodmon was being pushed back until he hit the tree behind him. Stingmon gave him one more powerful kick and sent him flying right through the tree.

"Okay, that was impressive, but it wasn't good enough." Ravenhoodmon said and backed up into hiding again. Fearing that he might go after Ken, Stingmon dropped to the ground because he thought it would be safer there. Stingmon felt an arrow coming from the side and stopped it.

"How are you doing that?" Ken said.

"I can feel them coming when he shoots them through the air." Stingmon said. Ravenhoodmon was keeping a fair distance from him.

'I'm starting to get it now. He's an insect digimon.' Ravenhoodmon thought. 'Insects use those antenna to sense their surroundings. It's liking an extra set of eyes on the back of the head in this case. However, they can't come through every single time. Every set of eyes has a blind spot and I can't wait to find his and strike down on it to take him down and bring that human with him.
