Wow 1000 reads already. Decided in the past that when we hit 1000 reads I was gonna publish a part from the future chapters. Since so few followed it, I thought 1000 were enough for first try. Therefore I will give you this post to celebrate. Have Fun and Hope you like it. As for the picture. The only one I could find both Viximon and Pagumon in at the same time. Cute right. ^.^

"Wait, Picodevimon!" Taichi yelled and followed the little bat digimon who were about to leave the battlefield.

He let Yamato, Jyou and Takeru handle Digitamamon. He was sure they all three together could defeat it. Yamato and the others were strong. It was more important to take care of Picodevimon. Taichi stopped up. Wait that didn't sound right. Digitamamon was an perfect level digimon, while Picodevimon was a child digimon. Even Patamon could defeat him, so why? Taichi couldn't explain it. Something, other than chasing Picodevimon, had drawn him here.

"Welcome!" a voice ran through the area. Taichi first now realized where he was. He was in some kind of forest of some kind.

"Agumon, where are we?" Taichi asked his partner.

"I don't know. You suddenly began running, and I had a hard time keeping up with you to notice where we were going" Agumon replied "Don't you know why you are here yourself?". Taichi bit his lip a little.

"Something, something called me here" Taichi admitted and felt like an idiot "Ahr that doesn't even make sense". A chuckling voice could now be heard.

"I see you fell for my spell. That is perfect, then we will not be disturbed". Taichi clenched his hands a little, and looked around, trying to find whoever the voice belonged to. He couldn't see anyone however.

"Who are you? Show yourself!" He yelled out loud. The voice chuckled again.

"Up here, chosen child" he could then hear the voice say, and Taichi followed the sound. Up on a branch of a three was a cloaked person sitting, and surely looking down on him. Taichi couldn't see his face, because of the hoodie he was having on.

"Who are you?" Taichi shouted angrily "Are you a digimon?".

"Hmm you could say that" the being said and jumped down from the tree "But you could also be wrong. What I truly am, is up to you to decide".

"Ah stop talking in riddles" Taichi sneered and looked at Agumon "Agumon is he an digimon?". Agumon sniffed a little. He looked really stunned now.

"Taichi, he smells weird. I don't like it" his partner then said "He does smell like a digimon, but then again not. Be careful".

"Careful is not my style Agumon" Taichi replied and smiled "You know that. So what do you want, you who doesn't smell like a real digimon".

"Pretty simple. Give me your crest. My master claims it" the stranger replied "If you do that, no one gets hurt. At least for now". Taichi glared angry at the stranger.

"Yeah over my death body" he replied and Agumon nodded in agreement.

"I thought you would say that" the stranger replied and cracked his knuckles "Then we are gonna do it the hard way". Taichi snort at that.

"You wish. Agumon Shinka!" Taichi yelled and his partner nodded. However out of the blue, a whirlwind of leaf's were whirling around both of them. When it disappeared, a dreadful sight meet Taichi's eyes.

"Agumon!" the chosen child yelled and ran over to his partner who now were chained to one of the trees by some weird shaped leaf's. Taichi tried pulling them out, but he didn't have the strength. He looked at his partner.

"Agumon Shinka!" he then ordered. His partner nodded and concentrated. He tried evolving into Greymon, but sadly nothing happened.

"I believe you need this for it to work, chosen child" the cloaked stranger said and was holding up his digivice.

"When did you get hold on my digivice?" Taichi sneered. The stranger chuckled.

"Just know. But you can get it back if you beat me Taichi Yagami" he then said "Your crest is not that easy to steal, as your digivice though, since it is around your neck, and not in the belt strop in your pants". Taichi glared at the stranger now.

"Oh I will beat you. You clearly know a lot about me" Taichi sneered and clenched his fists "But let me at least see the face of my attacker. And how do you know my name? Who are you?".

"My name is of no importance" the stranger said and shrugged "But sure, you can see my face. That is the last thing you will see before you die".

Then the stranger tossed his hoodie back. Brown long hair was the first thing Taichi noticed. Then this weird red mask on his face, who covered his red eyes. It was shaped as a bat. Then the black choker around his neck. His look were complete with the black cloak he was wearing. His body physics however were in shape of a human. Taichi eyes narrowed. Was this a human being or actually a digimon? Gennai looked like a human, but he was never confirmed as a human. At least not yet. Maybe this, boy maybe?, were like Gennai?

However Taichi hadn't time to think more about it, when a fist were flying straight for him and his face. Taichi evaded it however just in time.

"You so annoying you know that" this boy then said "Always reckless. Doing foolish things, and now trying to gather the chosen children once again. With you gone, the other children are easy pickings for my master". Taichi sneered angrily.

"You wish" he sneered back "Now give me back my digivice".

Taichi sent him a straight punch to the face. It was a distraction however, to get his digivice back from the weird stranger. He soon found his attempt to fail though. The boy caught his punch with the digivice free hand, pulled him closer and kneed him in abdomen.

"You are so predictable Yagami" the boy mused and smirked a little. He tossed the digivice up and down in his hand, before placing it inside his cloak "I know your goal is to get your holy device back, so you can use Greymon to beat me. Your strategy revolves around that. I on the other hand, just need to beat you. Plain and simple".

The boy attacked once again. With fast footwear and attacks, the boy quickly got the upper hand in the fight. That however, didn't mean Taichi put up a valiant fight. It just wasn't enough. The boy either caught all Taichi's punches or evaded them.

"Where are you aiming Yagami?" the stranger mocked and caught his punch "But then again, I know all your moves before you do. You can't win".

Taichi sneered angrily and threw another punch with his free arm, who surprisingly hit. That until he realized the stranger, had let it pass, so he could draw out a whip from his cloak and tie them surprisingly around Taichi's ankles, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Taichi!" Agumon shouted worriedly from his spot at the tree. The yellow dino digimon was in so much distress, that he couldn't aid his partner at all. "Taichi!".

Taichi groaned angrily and tried to get up, but soon found that impossible, since the boy placed a foot at his back, pushing him downwards once again.

"I will have nothing of that sort" the boy said and grinned "I have played enough with you for now. So let's gets to the matter at hand. Your tag with your crest".

Taichi could feel how he got pulled upwards, with arms tied behind his back. His back hit the back of this weird boy looking digimon. A hand touched his neck, and moved a familiar object away from him. Taichi's tag with crest were now in the strangers possession. Taichi hissed angrily. How could he get out of this predicament he was in? He needed to get free and claim his things back again.

"So what to do about you? Hmm" the boy questioned and hummed thoughtfully "I could let you live. Wandering the world, feeling the distress of being useless to your partner and comrades. But then again, not sure Master would approve of that. I also could take you with me, and let master decide your fate. Unless he wants me to kill you right here on the spot. He is tricky figuring out sometimes".

Taichi hissed angrily. He tried getting free of his captors hold, but the boy were having a firm grip in him. Taichi sneered angrily. How? How did it turn out like this? Agumon and I came to save this world. Not to make it worse. How can he read all my moves? Is he a mind reader, or am I just so easy to figure out?! damn it! What to do?!

"If your opponent knows all your moves, then try create new ones. Use the element of surprise" a voice suddenly ran through Taichi's head.

He sneered angrily inside now. That moron. That good for nothing Ryuhei, just had to invade his thoughts right now?! This had been one of the conversations they have had, at times when Taichi had been too reckless in the past. He couldn't believe he had to use the advice giving to him.

"You will never succeed!" Taichi shouted and got his captors attention. "You and your so called master will never succeed. I will break free at some point, and then Hell is loose".

Taichi struggled once again to get free. He could hear the boy chuckle darkly behind him. He could see him in the corner of his eyes, and Taichi could feel how the boy pulled him closer. He had done that every time, Taichi were fighting him. Only this time Taichi had a plan.

"Oh really? And how will you escape if I might ask?" the boy questioned.

"Like this!" Taichi yelled and pulled himself backwards with all his might.

That caught his captor off guard, and with the moment of surprise, Taichi headbutted the boy, hitting his chin, making him fall backwards. Taichi quickly grabbed his tag and place it around his neck. The boy groaned annoyed and got quickly up on his feet's.

"Damn I got careless" he sneered. Taichi snort at that.

"And over confident" he said and attacked without warning.

The boy were not prepared for that either, and Taichi's punch collided with the boy's face seconds later. Or to be more specific. It hit the boy's chin and pierced of his mask, as well as giving Taichi the chance to get his hand inside the cloak and get his digivice back.

"Damn I didn't think you actually listened" the boy hissed and grabbed around the crumbling mask, and the pieces of his face who were falling to the ground now.

Taichi's eyes widened by that. Apparently the bat shaped mask wasn't the true mask. His whole face were covered in a mask. Taichi could see cracks beginning to spread all over this mask. His whole left side was revealed now. A tot of blond hair were shown, and a blue colored eye were staring back at him, even though the boy tried covering it up with his left hand. Taichi frowned a little. There were something wrong here. Taichi were sure he.. well there were just something familiar over the boy now, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was.

"Ahr he will not be pleased. Master will not be pleased with me" the boy screamed up and sent Taichi a cold glare "Until next time Yagami. Just you wait until next time. You won't get off that easy!".

The same whirlwind of leaf's appeared and as soon as Taichi could see again, the boy or digimon, or whatever, had disappeared.

"Taichi!" Agumon yelled and now rushed to his partners aid.

With the disappearing's of the stranger apparently, made Agumon get free from the hard piercing leaves as well. Agumon looked worriedly at his partner.

"Taichi are you okay?" he questioned. Taichi nodded slightly.

"Yeah, but who was this guy?" He questioned. Agumon shrugged to that. He had no clue either.
