Tai, Matt, and T.K. kept moving through the forest on their way to rescue Davis from the last two members of the Gates of the Dragon. As they kept moving, T.K. kept looking back because he had a bad feeling about leaving Ken by himself.

"Are you that concerned about Ken?" Angemon said.

"Do you guys think that Ken will be fine on his own?" T.K. said.

"Ken's a smart boy. I'm sure he'll be able to handle that arrow head." Tai said.

"Yeah, stop doubting him." Matt said.

"They're both right. Ken and Stingmon will catch up when he can and bring Cody and Armadillomon with them." Greymon said.

"It's too late to turn back now. We just need to have faith in them." Garurumon said. That didn't make T.K. settle. He knew that this wouldn't be an easy task, but he wasn't aware these enemies were so powerful. He's just hoping that they can make it out of this in one piece.

Ken

Stingmon and Ken were on guard as they were being careful because they didn't know where Ravenhoodmon was or where he was going to attack until he actually does it. Stingmon was able to use his antenna to sense his arrows, but it's only going to work until an arrow is actually launched at them.

"Come out. Where are you?" Stingmon said as he waited patiently for Ravenhoodmon to make the first move. Ravenhoodmon stayed hidden among the trees since he knew how Stingmon was able to sense his attacks coming.

'Please. I'm not that stupid. The minute I attack, they'll know where I am. I'll just have to make sure they can't counter attack.' Ravenhoodmon thought and jumped through the air.

"Arrow Barrage."

Ravenhoodmon fired a barrage of arrows. They heard him so Stingmon grabbed a hold of Ken and moved out of the way as he saw the arrows exploding, but that caused them to lose sight of him.

"Where'd he go?" Stingmon said.

"He's got to be here somewhere." Ken said. Ravenhoodmon stood above them as he hung upside down right above them.

'That giant bug has to have a blind spot. I'll have to test out all sides until I can find it.' Ravenhoodmon thought and fired another arrow. Stingmon sensed it and was able to knock it away and spotted him.

"You'll have to do better than that to use a surprise attack on us." Stingmon said.

"Let's see about that." Ravenhoodmon said. Ravenhoodmon started launching arrows after arrows.

"Ken, stay behind me." Stingmon said as Ken got where he was told. Stingmon started moving as fast as he could and used every maneuver he could to block the attacks and either deflect or break the arrows. Stingmon flew right up to Ravenhoodmon and kicked him down as Ravenhoodmon slid against a tree. Stingmon flew down with his stinger out, but Ravenhoodmon held up his bow and blocked the attack. He pushed Stingmon out of the way and jumped over him for cover.

"Looks like we're still it in this game of hide and seek." Ken said. "If you were a real man, you face us directly and not just hide, but then again that is strategic."

"If you're trying to insult me, you're doing a lousy job." Ravenhoodmon said with his voice echoing around. Ravenhoodmon retreated, but he had a look of confidence on his face.

"I finally found it." Ravenhoodmon whispered as he thought back to when he was firing his arrows and saw that one of them left a small scratch on his back. "His blind spot seems to be from the middle back neck and down lower. Now to test it." He started moving again until he was positioned in what he believes is Stingmon's blind spot. "Let's see you react now." He pulled back one arrow and let it fly. Stingmon didn't even noticed, but Ken did.

"Stingmon, behind you!" Ken warned. Stingmon took his word for it and flew up as the arrow missed him.

"Unreal, I never even noticed it." Stingmon said and Ravenhoodmon groaned.

"That human has a big mouth. I think it's time I shut him up." Ravenhoodmon said as he fired another one at Ken.

"Ken!" Stingmon shouted as he flew over and protected Ken, but ended up getting the arrow in his side.

"Stingmon, are you alright?" Ken said in concern.

"Oh man, I feel like I have a knife in my side." Stingmon said as he pulled it out, but it hurt. "A little deeper and we could have had a serious problem." They didn't have time to recover as more arrows were shot at them and they exploded as both Ken and Stingmon got hit.

"I forgot that you digimon with human partners put protecting them your top priority." Ravenhoodmon said as he showed himself. "If you ask me that will be your downfall."

"Are you alright, Ken?" Stingmon said.

"I'll live." Ken said.

"Poor choice of words." Ravenhoodmon said and starting to fire at both of them and forced the two of them to separate. 'As long as I can keep the two of them separated, I can kill the human faster and Stingmon won't be warned.' He thought.

"Spiking Strike."

Stingmon flew in with his stinger glowing, but Ravenhoodmon jumped up and dodged it. He aimed and fired as a couple bows hit him down on his spine and caused him to slide into the ground. Ravenhoodmon walked over to him and grabbed him by his antennae.

"You never had a chance against me from the start. For one, you are a champion and I'm an ultimate." Ravenhoodmon said. "I outmatched you from the start. Besides, I'm more powerful than you could ever imagine. Be glad you got those attacks in while you did, even if they didn't do that much damage against me, because it looks like you're nearing the your limit here." He kicked him hard in the back and tossed him to the side and jumped up again.

"Stingmon!" Ken said.

"Start to worry about yourself." Ravenhoodmon said as he landed behind Ken and kicked him in the head and caused him to slide in the ground as well. "I'd be surprised if his neck wasn't broken after that kick."

"You bastard." Stingmon said as he tried to stand and pulled the bows out of his back. "How dare you attack a defenseless human. Don't you have any shame?"

"This isn't about shame. In this world, you strike down the weak and humans are." Ravenhoodmon said.

"What does that make Davis to you? After all, he's human, but you kidnapped him." Stingmon said.

"That doesn't change much of anything and we didn't kidnap him. All I've been told was to deliver him and Veemon to Lord Hydroumon and that's what I'm doing." Ravenhoodmon said. "If you knew our lord, you would never question his motives."

"You better get ready to tell this Lord Hydroumon that you've failed." Ken said as he was able to stand and spit out blood and surprised Ravenhoodmon. "We're going to take him back and you won't stop us."

"How are you even standing? That blow to your head should have knocked the life right out of you." Ravenhoodmon said.

"It's more I could say for you." Stingmon said as he tried to attack again, but Ravenhoodmon jumped back into the trees. Stingmon flew over to Ken and they stood back to back. "We've got to watch each other backs."

"You're right. This guy is a maniac. There's no telling what he'll try." Ken said as they were watching for him from all sides. Ravenhoodmon was waiting for the right moment to strike.

'These two are fools if they think they still have a chance of beating me.' Ravenhoodmon thought.

"Ken, make sure you keep your eyes completely open." Stingmon said.

"I know that. He has incredible aiming, even from great distance. I also believe he has yet to show us everything." Ken said.

'Oh you have no idea how right you are.' Ravenhoodmon thought. 'Now let me think of my next move. If I attack from above at the right angle, and maybe add a little curve to my arrow, I should be able to strike Stingmon down, but in my current form that will be difficult.' He moved even further back from where he was began to glow a dark light color.

"Ravenhoodmon digivolve to….Zamielmon"

"Haha, I've got you now." Zamielmon said as he loaded up his bow with another arrow and moved through the trees into the right position. "With this form, I have better accuracy and my attacks are stronger. This next blow should knock the head off your body." He took in a deep breath and launched his arrow.
