Chapter 8

Kovin and the other man stood and stared; a stalemate. Neither was ready to give the other and quarter.

"Kill her, Scott." The girl under Kovin said.

"Then he'll kill you, Jean." Scott said. Kovin blinked a few times having a quick X-Men flashback. "Come on, friend. Let's not do this."

"Anyone who holds a knife to her is not my friend."

"I could say the same thing." The stalemate continued.

"So where are we going?" Kovin asked.

"Not important. You'll see soon en..." He stopped speaking and his eyes rolled back into his head. The knife fell away from Kelryn as he fell foreword and hit the floor out cold. Kovin looked up and saw Yolei behind him, she had used the butt of her gun right against his brainstem.

"Very nice." Kovin said. "Mitzy, Sara; look after Kelryn. Jody, James, Izzy; take care of miss Grey. Yolei, Tyler, Mathew, David; with me." Kovin had both blades out in front of him, ready to disembowel anyone in his way. They opened the door slowly looking to the foreword cabin. Piximon was out cold, as was Biyomon and Gomamon. The empty bottle of ether was visible near by.

"Kovin!" Ozlimon came hopping over. Veemon, Agumon and Gabumon also came to their partners. "There's still the two in the cockpit."

"Great." Said Mathew. "Good odds."

"It's not number or strength, its strategy." Said Tyler.

"Well said." Kovin said. "But don't count out strength in the form of endurance. Or numbers if used with camouflage."

"How to you camouflage inside a plane?" David asked. He was ignored. They made their way slowly to the cockpit. Kovin took a breath and walked in like he was expected.

"She OK?" One guy asked, turning. "Oh, shit." He said, seeing one of Kovin's blades on his chest.

"I'm driving now." Kovin said. Suddenly the place lurched hard, Kovin fell backward out the door. He saw that the other guys had pulled back suddenly. The one Kovin had threatened was out of his seat when the plane levelled with a gun one all of them.

"Pepper breath!"

"Blue blaster!" Agumon and Gabumon were silenced by their partners, rather than the enemy.

"Do NOT fire those attacks inside the plane!" David yelled. He may have been thick, but a pressurised cabin had simple physics. They surrendered. In a open area Kovin could have disarmed his attacker, but there was no room to manoeuvre in the confined space. They were marched to the back cabin. The rookie digimon pulled back when their partners were threatened. Everyone, digimon and not was now in the rear cabin.

"Nice work, Logan." Scott said having regained consciousness. Kovin again had the X-Men flashback.

"Is your other guy named Charles?" Kovin asked. He was hit in the stomach for asking.

"It's Hank." Logan said.

'Close enough.' Kovin thought, before being beaten into unconsciousness as a lesson to the others.

Kovin woke up looking into Jody's eyes. He was bruised, felt stiff, had two black eyes, and would later see his left leg was sprained.

"Hello." She said.

"Hello." Kovin said. "Where are we?" Kelryn shoed Jody away.

"We're still on the plane. Mitzy has a GPS and it looks like we're headed for the Philippines."

"It's too hot there. Can we go somewhere cooler?" Kovin asked. He was obviously still out of it. He slipped back to sleep.

"So what can we do now?" Sara asked. She seemed to be the only one filled with any amount of optimism.

"We let them take us where ever, and do what ever." David said. No one protested.

"There's always a way out!" She said. James pointed at the door.

"And there it is. They took the parachutes so you might want to tuck and roll when you get near the ground."

"Actually, take your shoes off. We're five hundred miles from shore." Tyler said. None were tied down, and they were with their digimon. Their enemies were standing watch outside the door. There was nothing in the back cabin. The only damage they could do was to the plane's tale hydraulics, but that would be fatal to both sides.

"Come on guys, there has to be a way." No one answered. Kovin sat up.

"She's right." Kovin said.

"Next time they'll kill you, not just beat you." Yolei said.

"I don't think so. I think they want us for the D-Power. And that means they need me alive for Ozlimon to digivolve."

"Then they'll kill one of us." Jody said. "We can only go to champion. We're expendable."

"It won't come to that." Sara said. "I have a plan. Everyone without wings, belt it. Otherwise, stand over here." Sara walked to the guarded door and pounded on it hard.
