Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Digital Trilogy - Episode 3 - Feint Within a Feint ❯ Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Kovin, TK, Ken, and Allura stood on the roof of Kovin's apartment. It had become an unofficial landing pad for the Alpha group of the Guardians. Ozlimon, Patamon, Wormmon, Palmon, Gatomon, Hawkmon, and Demireumon stood behind them, as they prepared for they're search.

Allura had returned last night, and told them all about their encounter, and Nolan's threat. Kovin, Ken and TK were instantly out and ready to search, but Allura and the seven digimon held them back, so they wouldn't do anything rash.

"Gatomon, Hawkmon, Demireumon, you guys have to stay here. I know you three want to be out there looking for them with us, but you can't digivolve." Kovin said.

"You know Kovin," Palmon said. "There's only four of you, there's 47 in Nolan's group, and you have no idea where to search."

"You say that like it's going to stop me." Kovin replied.

"I want it to. It's too dangerous." Palmon said. Kovin whipped around and stared Palmon right in her eye.

"I think TK and Ken will agree with me when I say this. I love her, and I will do anything to keep her safe. The three of us are better equipped to find and help them that most police forces. And I would sooner die then let the woman I love stay in his control for a second longer than I can."

"Exactly right." "Yeah." TK and Ken did agree with him, wholeheartedly.

"Palmon, we need to be smart about this. You stay here and protect the three digimon who can't digivolve. We'll go see what we can find." Kovin said. He turned around, and looked at the final wisps of the setting sun, as they lit less and less of the western sky. Kovin looked at his watch, and spoke again. "Let's do it."

Ozlimon warp digivolve to ... Aeromon

TK and Patamon, Ken and Wormmon, and Kovin were on Aeromon's back and he took to the air. The one human and four digimon left on the roof waved them off and wished them luck.

They flew around for an hour, using Aeromon's eyes to scout the ground and look for any signs of the missing girls. After that, they decided to go to the park where they were captured to see if they could find any clues. Aeromon landed, and they disembarked beside the table. Ken walked up to it and touched the few spots of dried blood on the table, that used to flow through Allura's veins until Nolan changed that.

"Is there anything else?" TK asked. Ken looked up, and shook his head solemnly.

"We just have to keep looking. There must be something!" Kovin thought about reminding them about how important the search was, but he knew they cared about their girls as much as he did. The three looked around in vein for any clue as to their current location.

"Icy Blast!" The huge blue attack came streaking out of the night sky, and stuck Aeromon in the back. He screamed in pain and prepared to defend himself for further injury. But before he could, three more attacks came down and hit him again. Aeromon faded and Kovin was worried he'd lost him, but Ozlimon appeared in his place, and Kovin ran over to help him. Four flying digimon carrying their humans descended from the sky, and surrounded them.

"Well, do you fight or die?" One of the boys who attacked them said.

"Neither!" Ken yelled, he whipped his arm around and threw a rock he had been tossing square into the face of the boy who threatened them. TK was instantly on a girl near him, subduing her.

"Sticky net!" "Boom bubble!" Wormmon and Patamon's attack took down another boy, while Kovin and Ozlimon grabbed the final one. The attacking digimon all threatened to kill the humans, but Kovin grabbed the head and neck of his victim, preparing to snap his it.

"I assume you all know what happens to a digimon when his human dies, back off!" Kovin was talking very calm, but the lightning of pure rage flashed across his eyes. No one there believed he was bluffing. The attacking digimon all backed away. "Now, where are the girls?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't you work for Nolan?"

"Yeah."

"Then where are they?"

"I don't know." Kovin gripped his neck and twisted, his tendons and vertebrae were only one twist away from snapping, as tears rolled down his cheek. "Really! I don't know! We haven't seen Nolan since we came into the city!" Kovin dropped him, and kicked him away. He and his friends took off. The three were once again left to their own devices.

* * *

Kari screamed as the ropes around her hands were cut away roughly, and the blade nicked her skin. Just her arms were untied, her blindfolds and legs ties remained in place. She was picked up bodily and thrown. She grunted as her body hit the hard wooden floor, and she coughed when she inhaled the years old dust on the floor. She heard a voice.

"This room is suspended in the middle of the building, you won't get away so don't even try. Nolan will be up soon to talk to you." Kari tried removing her blindfold, but it was on too tight. Then she screamed again has she felt a pair of hands on the back of her head. But the hands were gentle, and they were untying her blindfold. Kari looked around when it was off. Yolei was the one who untied her. Kelryn was standing right behind her, they both had none of their restraints on, and Yolei helped Kari removed the rest of hers.

"When did you two get here?" Kari asked. The three of them had been separated soon after they were caught.

"I was here like an hour after we were caught, Kelryn was tossed in here about two hours ago. Did they take your watch too?" Kari looked at her wrist, she showed the other girls that they had.

"Near as I can figure, we've been here 22 hours." Kelryn said. And we have to get out." Kari looked around her new surroundings. It had once been the Forman's office of some factory or warehouse. There was small window up near the ceiling that was showing the first signs of night approaching. The room was built secure and looked that way. The door was solid too.

"How to we go to the bathroom?" Kari asked. Yolei pointed to a bucket in the corner. Kari gagged.

"Yes, we have to get out of here." She said.

"For more reasons than that." Kelryn added. "Yolei and I heard the guards talking. They're allowed to play with us all they want after Nolan has a talk with us."

"What does that mean?" Kari asked.

"Play, Kari. Like what you and TK do? But without any fun, romance, compassion or consent." Yolei said, very matter-of-factly. Kari was white. She was instantly over by the window, sizing it up.

"Guys, come here. I have an idea." They were all ears. "I'll stand on Kelryn, because she's the strongest, Yolei will stand on me because she can pull me up. Once the two of us are outside, we can get some rope or something to get Kelryn out."

"What if you can't find any rope?" Kelryn asked. Yolei had already searched the room when she arrived, and went over to and old equipment locker. She pulled out two coveralls, a boot, a clipboard, and a fifty-foot extension cord.

"Will this work?" She asked.

"Yes!" Kelryn said. "Let's get out of here." They formed a human ladder by the window. It was hard for them, and they had to try several times, but they managed to get themselves positioned. It took no time for Yolei to open the window, and start pulling herself up, with Kari hanging on to Yolei and the extension cord. Just as Kari's waist started to disappear over the edge, Kelryn heard the door being unlocked. "They're coming! Get out fast! Run!" Kelryn was sacrificing herself to get the information to her friends. The door opened as Nolan and two of his strongmen came in. "Run!" Kelryn yelled, but still looking at them. Nolan sized the situation up quick and was back out the door, yelling orders.

"Two escaped, they're on the roof of the low section! Get them back! First one to get them, is the first one to get them!" Nolan's promise of access to the prisoners had his force out the door instantly. Nolan was back into the room to vent some of his rage. He walked out to Kelryn and was preparing to speak. She spoke first by spitting in his face. Nolan's guards started to walk towards her, by he stopped them with a motion of his hand.

"You think you're tough?" Nolan asked, wiping the spit out of his eye.

"I think I'm better than you." She said. Nolan stared her in the eye for a second, then brought his fist forward and punched her in the stomach with everything he had. Kelryn lost her breath and fell to her knees. She spent a few seconds panting, and looked up and him.

"Is that all you..." she was stopped talking with a kick to the side of her head. Had Kari and Yolei still been on the roof, they would have heard more blows landing, but they had already started to descend the fire escape. They heard Nolan's order too.

The girls did not get away because of they're skill or determination, not to say they didn't have a lot of each. They got away because Nolan's guards were stepping on each other's heals to be the first to get there. The girls ran long and hard into the night. With all they're energy detected to getting away, they had none left to even think about detailing the route they took away so they could get help and come back.

Kelryn woke later in the night, and spit the blood out of her mouth. She would have surveyed the rest of her wounds, but she passed out. She was alone.
