Tai knelt down and helped his sister to her feet. "We need to get further from the entrance." Leading the way, he and Agumon began to explain the situation. Agumon started. "Those Digimon out there attacking us are under the control of the Digimon Emperor. He's a human who controls Digimon with these dark rings. Once one catches you, you become his slave."<br/><br/>"And that's not all. For some reason, none of the Digimon are able to Digivolve, so we can't even fight him." Tai said, his Digivice clutched in his hand.<br/><br/>At the mention of Gatomon and the others, Agumon looked at the ground. "I'm sorry, Kari. I don't know where the others are. We all got separated by an attack a few days ago." If they hadn't been separated, then maybe they would've had some chance to fight.<br/><br/>"I came here because I sensed that Agumon needed me. And boy, was I right." Tai turned his attention to Davis. "You got a Digivice? Can I see it?"<br/><br/>"Uh, sure, here." Davis pulled it out of his pocket and held it up for Tai's inspection.<br/><br/>"Weird... maybe that's what shot out of the Digiegg when I touched it..." Looking at the center of the room, he pointed out the Digiegg. "When I touched it, light shot out of it. I've tried to pick it up, but it's stuck, even though it has my crest on it. Maybe you guys should give it a try."<br/><br/>After Kari and TK had had their turns, Davis stepped up. "You guys are doing it all wrong, let me show you how it's done." Bending down and gripping both sides of the egg, it lifted free with a singled tug. "There. See? Nothing to it."<br/><br/>A pillar of light shot out of the ground where the egg had just been. Out of the light jumped a small blue and white Digimon. "Hey there Davis! I've been waiting for you! My name is Veemon, but you can just call me Veemon!"<br/><br/>"Uh... I think you've got the wrong guy..." Davis said, the egg still clutched in his hand.<br/><br/>"Nope, you're the one. You're the only one who could lift the Digiegg of Courage!"<br/><br/>While Davis and Veemon talked, Tai just looked on in shock. He hadn't been able to move the egg, even though it bore the Crest of Courage, but Davis could. What did this mean?
