"Evil Shows His Face"

Please enjoy and review!

After walking for a half hour; Matt, Serena, TK, Mimi, Izzy, Gabumon, Impmon, Patamon, Palmon and Tentomon finally made it to the top of the mountain.

They found Joe was kneeling on the ground looking hopeless while Gomamon, Sora, Tai, Biyomon and, Kol, Leormon, and Agumon all stood around him as they looked down the mountain.

"This place could really use a good bus system." Joe commented.

"Yeah, but it looks like we're at the end of the line." Matt said making Tai look back at him.

"We're doomed. Trapped on an island. We'll never get out of here alive. I knew I wouldn't like camp, but would my folks listen to me? No. I wanted to go to summer school." Joe complained.

Everyone scanned the area around them, curious and shocked at the sight before them.

Below them was an island covered in trees and mountains while the ocean surrounded the island much to their shock.

"This is amazing." Serena gasped lightly at the sight.

"I've never seen what this place looked like from so high up." Impmon commented.

Tai goes to a cliff and decided to look around after pulling something out of his pocket.

Leormon and Kol both watched as he started looking over the island around them with the telescope and started drawing on the page.
" Wow this place is really big" claimed Kol.

"Yup Yup Yup!" agreed Leormon.

Agumon then noticed his human sitting by the edge of the peak and he walked over to see what he was doing.

"What cha doing?" Agumon asked.

"Making a map of the island. That way we'll know exactly where we are and know where we've already been." Tai told him.

"Yes, that works in theory." Izzy said as he walked over.

When he saw the map, a look of confusion and shock filled his eyes as he looked at all of the squiggles that were drawn.

"What? Did you say map or mess?" he asked as Serena and Matt walked over to look it over.

"No question, man. You are the dude of doodles." Matt joked.

"If you follow that map, it'll lead right to a headache." Serena said.

"Well, I can read it just fine and that's what's really important." Tai said defensively.

"We don't need a map to know we're totally lost. I figured that out a long time ago." Joe said.

"I just figured out that these gloves really don't go with this dress." Mimi spoke up.

"How sad." Palmon said as a growling sound was heard faintly.

Then the sound of a crash and rocks tumbling was heard making everyone gasp and look off to the side.

"What's that?" Kol asked.

"I don't know, but I have a feeling we're gonna wait here to find out." Joe said.

They then moved down to see that the path leading down the mountain had been destroyed and they stared at it, unsure of how they were going to get down.

"At least it won't be a long wait." Sora said.

A tall lion Digimon who stood on his two legs stepped out from around the corner, his skin orange and he had a mane of yellow fur around his head.
