Digimon Cagers Disclaimer Thingy: I don't own these characters or any Digimon except for Midnightmon(unless he's a digimon I haven't found out about yet!^_^;) but I wrote this story anyway, so don't sue me. I would like all my readers to know I will switch around on who will tell the story as we go along so try not to get lost.

Digitally Twisted

Chapter 1: Scarlet Eyes


T.K's point of view:

It started out as just a regular day in the Digital World; Davis was barking orders as we all pitched in to help Elecmon hatch some Digi-eggs. We all seemed to be having a good time and before we knew it, it was lunch time.
"Where should we go for lunch?" asked Yolie.
"I know! We can get all the older Digidestined to come with us and we can go eat at Digitomamon's Diner!" exclaimed Davis.
"Yeah. It would be great if we all got together." said Kari.
"Mabey I should just go home for lunch...." said Ken begining to walk off but I grabbed him by his arm. "Come on, Ken! We'd love it if you would stay and have lunch with us."
"I'm not sure, T.K." said Ken.
"Oh, your parents won't mind!" said Davis, "It's Saturday! This is probley a once in a week oppertunity!"
"Yeah, we wouldn't mind." said Veemon.
"Please, Ken?" asked Wormmon. Ken smiled and said, "Alright."
"Great! I'll contact Izzy and ask him to get everyone else." said Yolie typing on her D-terminal. Yolie paused before she said anything else, "Oh! Is that so?"
"What is it, Yolie?" asked Hawkmon.
"A Digiport has opened in America! Mimi is going to get to come along too." replied Yolie.
"But it's night-time in America, isn't it?" asked Cody.
"It is, but Mimi's snuck into the Digital World with us before. I'm sure she'll come anyway." I answered.
"She was here when we had that fight with Golemon when he tried to flood the city." added Patamon.
"That's enough talk! Let's just get to Digitomamon's Diner." suggested Davis trying to hurry us along.
"Let's get Tentomon the heads up so he can get the other Digidestin's Digimon ready." said Yolie, "The Digimon would have a fit if we didn't invite them."

Once we got to Tentomon and got him to get the other Digidestin's Digimon, the other Digidestined started to arrive. The other Digimon weren't hard for Tentomon to find and we were soon all on our way to the Diner. It took us all about 15 minutes to find it and we all went in and got ourselves something to eat.
"So, you all desided to come over and eat at my Diner today?" asked Digitomamon.
"That's not a problem, is it?" asked Matt.
"No, at least not as long you pay the bill." replied Digitomamon.
"Do you want Digidollars?" asked Yolie a little nervous because we didn't have that many.
"No. It really doesn't matter what you pay me, just as long as you pay the right amount. I'll take anything from you; yen, american dollars, Digidollars, pieces-of-eight, you name it."
"Then what's the problem?" I asked.
"Well, I hear there's a storm comming and this isn't the safest place to be in when there's a storm. Do you have any shelter?" asked Digitomamon.
"Not really but we're sure we'll be fine." replied Sora.
"What about you, Digitomamon?" asked Yolie, "Do you have any place to go?"
"Of course, all I have to do is go inside my shell and I'll be protected from anything." replied Digitomamon, "Well, I've got to go clean up. Enjoy your meal."
We finished everything up and paid for our food and began our trip back to our world.
"Digitomamon was right. These clouds are really starting to look ugly." said Tentomon looking up at the sky in consern.
"Yes, the clouds do seem a bit on the dark side." agreed Sora, "Mabey we should find shelter."
"No, we can keep going. It doesn't look that bad." said Tai but just after the words got out of his mouth, the rain began to come down, "On second thought, mabey we should find a place to keep us dry."
We walked along the side of the mountain until we spotted a cave that Gomamon pointed out. We all sat down and relaxed in the coolness of the cave for, what we thought would be only up to an hour but the rain seemed to continue non-stop.
"What time is it?" asked Ken after a few hours had gone by.
"According to my watch, it's about 3." replied Joe.
"Well, if we're not out of here in 5 more hours I'm going home, rain or no rain." said Ken.
Biomon sat up and stretched out her wings then looked towards the empty darkness of the inner cave.
"Why don't we go exploring to keep our mind off the rain?" asked Biomon.
"What if we get lost?" asked Joe.
"I'm sure as long as we have our Digivices we won't get lost. If worse comes to worse we can always find eachother." said Sora agreeing with Biomon, "And besides, our Digimon probley need to stretch out themselves."
"I could use a little hike." said Tai standing up.
"Yes, I'm getting very tired of just sitting here." said Gabumon, "What do you say, Matt?"
"Let's go for it. We won't go too far and we'll all stay together." said Matt also standing up.
"Alright, but we have to promise eachother we won't run off from the group if we come to some split in the cave." said Joe, "We don't know how deep this cave is and anyone could easily get lost or hurt so do you all promise?"
"We promise, Joe." said Yolie, "It's not like we're going to run off. We're smarter than that."
"Alright. Let's go." said Joe pulling out his flash light.
"I really don't like going deeper into this cave." said Ken.
"Don't worry. We'll be fine." I said, not knowing what we were really getting into. We walked deeper into the cave passing many stillagmights and stillagtights. The cave was like everyother cave, cold, damp and very dark. But this cave seemed darker than any other cave we've been in. As we continue I can here a strange wispering sound and I have the feeling that we're being watched.
I can see the looks on the others' faces and even in this dim light, they look as if they're feeling the same things I am. I can see Joe's hand that holds the flashlight shaking as we proceed. Suddenly, a strange skreech fills our ears making my hair stand on end.
"What was that, T.K?" asked Patamon in a scared voice.
"I'm not sure." I reply.
"It probley a hungry Digimon that doesn't like visitors." said Joe in a worried voice.
"Mabey it's a Digimon that needs our help." said Sora, "Let's keep going."
"Sora's right. It might be someone we know." said Izzy.
"I'm scared." wispered Mimi as we continued to walk deeper into the darkness of the cave. We soon come to a big empty room in the cave and it appears to be the end of it. We all look for an other tunnel but there is none.
"Well, nothing's here. Let's go." said Joe turing back to the tunnel we came through but it has mysteriously vanished.
"Wh-what happened to the tunnel?" asked Yolie.
"I don't know but I don't like it." said Hawkmon.
"This isn't good." I wisper under my breath as I feel along the wall where the tunnel used to be.
"That's physiclly impossible!" shouted Izzy.
"Apparently it is in the Digital World." said Cody.
"Mabey we should try to dig our way out." said Armadillomon.
"I DON'T THINK SO!" boomed a loud and angery voice.
"What's that?" asked Kari.
"Who are you?" asked Tai.
"I AM... MIDNIGHTMON!" yelled the voice as a pair of glowing red eyes appeared before us all.
"What did you bring us here for?" demanded Ken.
"THE WAY YOU TREAT YOUR DIGIMON! LIKE THEY ARE SLAVES!" yelled the voice of Midnightmon.
"What are you talking about?" asked Davis.
"They don't treat us like slaves." said Veemon.
"SEE? YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE FREE SO YOU THINK THE WAY YOU LIVE IS FREE, EVEN THOUGH YOU COULD BE TREATED BETTER."
"You don't know what you're talking about. They take very good care of us and-" started Biomon but Midnightmon interupted her, "THEY TAKE CARE OF YOU LIKE POSSESIONS! YOU COULD TAKE CARE OF YOURSLEF COULDN'T YOU?"
"Well, yeah but-" started Wormmon but he cut him off, "YOU SEE? YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF ALONE BUT SINCE YOU ARE THE DIGIMON OF A DIGIDESTINED THEN I CAN'T TAKE YOU AWAY! BUT I CAN MAKE YOUR LIVES BETTER!"
"What do you mean by that?" asked Agumon.
"I CAN SHOW YOU WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE FREE! YOU WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE DIGIDESTINED BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU!" shouted Midnightmon.
"But we never asked for anything like that." said Gabumon, "We love being the Digidestin's Digimon and protecting them."
"YOU SEE? THERE'S ANOTHER REASON WHY I SHOULD HELP YOU! YOU SPEND ALL YOUR LIFE PROTECTING THE DIGIDESTINED. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOU FEEL THE PAIN OF BATTLE, WHEN YOU NEARLY DIE WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO FIGHT THE EVIL DIGIMON WHILE THEY ARE STANDING IN THE BACK AND NEVER KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF BATTLE!" yelled Midnightmon, "NOW, ALL OF YOU DIGIDESTINED WILL FEEL WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE KNOWN AS THE SLAVES AND NOT THE SLAVE DRIVERS!"
As Midnightmon said this I began to feel a burning sensation under my skin. My body felt limp but at the same time I felt as if I was being burned. It hurt I fell to the ground and I could hear the other Digidestined groaning in pain but it really shocked me to know that the Digimon were also moaning in pain. If Midnightmon really wanted to help the Digimon, then why was he hurting them? I slowly close my eyes as the pain increases and soon the pain is so emense, I black out.
If we had not gone deeper into this cave, we probley never have experienced anything like this, but then again, this experience also may help us learn something about eachother we never would have known....

To be continued....
