[i]Even hidden away deep in their secret abode, Angemon could hear the explosion as well. He also felt something, a feeling of dread that he had not felt since the death of Ophanimon. Something had happened... He arose from his seat and left the room, leaving the Digidestined under the watchful eyes of Beelzemon. He traveled through their maze of tunnels to the secret exit they had come through before, and headed outside. He heard the voice boom through the forest.[/i]

[i]So Diaboromon was on the hunt, which means the other Digidestined were in danger. He scanned the treeline for any sign of Leomon or Kabuterimon, and caught sight of Kabuterimon's helmet a good half mile out.[/i]

[color=fff79a]"Good, it seems they escaped unharmed... but this feeling, something isn't right, what could it be?"[/color]

[i]He waited with his staff ready, serving both as a gate keeper and guard against the forces of the Council of Five if any would come to pass.[/i]

[hr]

[i]With some encouragement (and some minor force) Kabuterimon kept the Digidestined just ahead of him. He knew from the sounds that Leomon had shocked Diaboromon for a while, but he was back on the hunt.[/i]

[color=2e3192]"Everyone keep moving, don't look back! Once we reach Angemon's Sanctuary we'll be safe!"[/color]

[i]He looked ahead and saw a small Tsunomon heading the way that they had just come. Unsure what it thought it was doing, he stopped it dead in its tracks. Following it was a Human holding a Digivice.[/i]

[color=2e3192]"Another Digidestined? Thank Azulongmon we found you in time, we must hurry! Diaboromon is on the hunt, and heading this way, we must reach the safety of Angemon's sanctuary!"[/color]

[i]He forcefully turned the twosome and made sure that they were heading the right way once more. Soon rounding a bend in the forest he caught sight of Angemon waiting for them. They approached quickly, and Kabuterimon knew Angemon felt something wrong.[/i]

[color=fff79a]"Kabuterimon, it's been a long time old friend, let's get inside... where is Leomon?"[/color]

[color=2e3192]"Leomon... went off to face Diaboromon alone, to buy enough time for us to escape..."[/color]

[color=fff79a]"He... he what? Why would he do such a thing? At the moment our hope is brightest, we lose one of our greatest warriors and friends..."[/color]

[i]Angemon was completely broken up inside. Leomon was one of his oldest friends, and to know that he was gone for who knows how long, it was nearly unbearable. He compared this time to when he lost his sister, less severe but still deeply hurting. He said nothing after this and led the way into their secret sanctuary.[/i]
