Light surrounded darkness in a great battle. Takuya ran into the dark circle engraved in the centre of the temple and yelled. His yell of anger made a sound that shattered glass and collapsed buildings. Takuya was not worried a bit of what would happen to his friends. He was trapped in the Digital World and he didn't know his way out. His body began to levitate. Tears slipped away from his eyelashes. His body was trembling with fear. There was so much that he wanted to know, but couldn't figure out. Izumi's face brightened with fear. She couldn't bear the sight of Takuya, one of her best friends, being tormented by the darkness. Junpei was preoccupied with Tomoki, Neemon and Bokomon. They were trying to calm Patamon down.

Takuya looked to his side and the first thing he saw was Kouji. His vision was beginning to blur. With his last few glances he turned over to Izumi and smiled, and then his body started to decay. His life was coming to an end. Takuya's last fragments blasted into a million pieces and got caught in the wind, swarming around in the cool night breeze like chaff on a fresh wind. That was the last of Takuya. Izumi's eyes began to shed tears. Kouji supported Izumi and told her to get a hold of herself. Izumi ignored him, and everyone else, for she had lost someone more important to her than the rest of the chosen children.

Days passed by quickly. There was no doubt about Takuya's death, but Izumi would always deny the fact that it was true, for she would catch glimpses of Takuya's spirit at night as the other chosen children were asleep.

One night, the chosen children made camp, and cooked meat apples on top of the blazing fire. Sweat engulfed Izumi as she looked all around herself and spotted black shadows that were camouflaged by the dark forest. The chosen children slowly began to fade away into a deep sleep, except for Izumi, who would wait for the return of Takuya's spirit. Izumi's eyes started to weaken and close every now and then.

She couldn't wait any longer so she decided to venture off into the forest, alone. As she walked into the dark forest she heard howls and dry leaves being crushed beneath her feet. Goosebumps began to appear on the surface of Izumi's tender skin. Her eyes weakened again, and she was going to faint. Her hands were numb and her legs were frizzy and frozen. She couldn't think anymore. Her body collapsed in the middle of the forest, where unexpected events occurred.

"Who are you? Pathetic intruder!" a weird dark figure screeched with anger and kicked Izumi away from the centre of what seemed to be a circle engraved in the ground.

"My name's Izumi, who are you?" Izumi's face went blank and her body began to tremble with fear that she never felt before.

"That does not concern you!" The dark figure became slightly darker.

"Leave me alone!"

"Why should I, when I can destroy you?" laughed the dark figure.

"Get away from me you creep!" Izumi gave off a big scream, signaling the other chosen children. The dark figure laughed even louder than he laughed before. His laughter sent innocent birds winging from their perches in dark trees and into the night sky. Izumi was scared and wanted to escape.

"Did you guys hear that?" Kouji got up and rubbed his eyes, regaining his vision.

"Sure did!" Junpei and Tomoki spoke as one.

"Who do you think it was?" Kouji looked worried, and presumed it was Izumi.

"Not sure," Tomoki replied, "But it sure didn't sound like a boy. It must have been a girl that screamed. Do you guys think it might have been Izumi?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Kouji responded looking worried. Junpei gave an angry look and faced Tomoki. They all nodded and ran into the dark forest in search of Izumi. When the boys reached the current location of Izumi, they watched, feeling useless in the situation. Izumi was lying down on the ground as the dark figure had his heavy foot on her chest.

"He's going to kill her!" Junpei quickly evolved into his human spirit. Kouji and Tomoki did the same.

"Do not interfere, foolish, insignificant, and futile specimens," the dark figure raised his claw threatening the chosen children.

"No way!" Tomoki yelled, "We got to help our friend."

"Why don't I help you, by sending you with your friend to the Digimon graveyard?! Ahahaha!"

"Stop! Please stop!" Izumi said with her weak voice. Those last words brought with them the sun shooting out of the horizon and the forest was engulfed with everlasting light. The dark figure was exposed to the chosen children. "Ta... Ta... Ta... Takuya?" Izumi forced a smile on her face.

"How did you know my name?" Takuya asked with an evil voice and eyes that gleamed with darkness and crimson highlights.

"You don't remember us?" Izumi released herself from the force of Takuya's foot. "We're friends, don't you remember?"

"Do not speak rubbish, for I do not resemble the Takuya you used to know."

"You speak the truth, but I know deep inside, you really are Takuya, the one we used to know and the one we will always know."

"Be silent!" Takuya walked away from the presence of the chosen children and looked back with a frown on his rough face. "I'll be seeing you soon, but for now I must carry on the orders of my master and clear all the data from this world, leaving nothing but the core of this worthless piece of junk. My master and I will rule the universe. Hahaha!" Takuya took off into the sky and vanished into the trees.
