Saved By Love

Chapter 10: Rescue Mission II

How could he have been so stupid? Of course they would hide there. It was the last place they would of looked. Myotismon had lived in that castle for a while before his defeat. Bad memories surrounded that castle for many digimon and humans alike. Myotismon had used this castle to torture many of his servants and had used the portal in this castle to travel to the Human World. After Myotismon's defeat in the Human World many of his servants and followers stayed in the castle and continue his legacy. When Myotismon resurrected and was defeated for a second time his servants and followers abandon the castle altogether.

The European castle looked worn and broken from lack of use and climate change. Many parts of the castle walls were gone or crumbed to the ground below. It looked like no one was using the abandon castle. But that was probably what the enemy wanted them to think. Yamato remembered the first time they entered this castle. The castle look normal on the outside but was like crazy maze on the inside that defied the laws of physics. He remembered when at one point they were able to walk on the walls and ceilings of the ridicules place.

Yamato stared at the castle as Garurumon jumped over the rubbles of stone and wall. Yamato knew what he was doing was impulsive and very Taichi like. He knew Taichi would hit him over the head and then argue with him for being an idiot. He doesn't understand. When Ken was kidnapped he felt so helpless and then seeing him on the video made those feelings come back. In a way it reminded him of the time when Takeru got hurt in the Digital World. He was helpless back then and almost lost his brother. He wasn't going to let his pride get in the way again. Not when someone he loves is in danger.

Taichi can yell at him all he wants later. Right now he has a boyfriend to save and a human to kill.

Ken groans as he was forced to walk the long hall. His body ached all over and it hurt when he moved. The beatings were awful but the rape was damaging. Every time he walked pain shot through his spine. He knew that walking was not helping the lacerations that were within his body.

All Ken wanted to do was sleep and escape all this pain. He wasn't sure how much more abuse he could take. But today was different somehow. The Goddess of Darkness had ordered her henchmen to bring both him and Wormmon to the torture room. He felt sick to his stomach. What torture would he have to go through? Would he be beaten? Would he be forced to have unwanted sex? Would he be forced to watch his digimon get hurt?

No! He would rather die before anything bad happens to his friend. Friend? There were others, right? A boy with goggles and tan skin, another in a green jacket and wonderful smile, and a blond with the bluest eyes that made him want to stare into those blue orbs forever.

Dread filled Ken when he realized that's all he remembered of them. He knew that with every session he has with his father, the Goddess used her darkness to remove pieces of his memory. He had pretty much forgotten everything. The only thing he remembers is his digimon and the three boys. He couldn't remember what their names are and how they are important to him. But he knew that deep down he loved them and that they are searching for him and Wormmon.

This prison was a huge maze that could take weeks, maybe months, to travel. He just hopes that someone out there would find him. He had to believe in that. He would not surrender to the darkness that he was certainly certain of.

Yamato glanced at a message he had just received from his extremely, unhappy best friend. Taichi had written a lengthy paragraph on what an idiot he was, and on how on earth he thought it was a good idea to rush to the castle knowing that it could be a trap and blah, blah, blah. Grumbling to himself, Yamato read another message from Taichi, that was just as long saying - no demand him to stay put and wait for him, Daisuke. Hikari, and Takeru. Yamato wasn't sure what was worse: Taichi and his anger or Taichi and his damn leadership and stubbornness. Either way Taichi was annoying both ways.
