Disclaimer- I don't own Ken, Davis, Yolei, Kari, T.K or Cody, neither do I own any of the Digimon, they all belong to Bandai, okay? (But the Crest of Mystery is mine! )

I'm quite proud of this Chapter, as it is the longest chapter I've ever written in any of my stories! It's vvvveeeerrrryyy long!! So make sure you have a lot of time on your hands to read this!

Oh and there's no love interests really in this story. I write abit of flirting between Kari and Ken, and sometimes T.K and Kari but that's just to drive Davis up the wall! So I assure you there's neither pairing nor yaoi, just friendship, kay?

Also I must say that I do write a lot more about Ken, what he does and what his thoughts and feelings are, that's because he's my favourite character, so I have done a lot more on him than the other characters. But don't worry; I haven't missed any of the characters out! I'll even make sure to have all the former Digidestints featured sometime in my story!

Um, like I said this is long and it did take a lot of work to write, I hope it's good cause I did spend ages writing it, so please review it if you read it, thank you!

"Spiking Strike!" Stingmon cried as he went flying forwards and hit against Monochromon.

"Vee Laser!" Ex-Veemon cried as an 'x' shaped laser came shooting from his body.

"Rosetta Stone!" Nefertimon shouted as a giant stone flew towards Monochromon.

"Star Shower!" Pegasusmon exclaimed as many little stars were aimed at Monochromon.

"Tail Hammer!" Ankylomon spun around and thumped his tail off against Monochromon.

"Grand Horn!" Aquilamon exclaimed as he dug his horns into Monochromon.

Suddenly Monochromon disintegrated into millions of little pieces of data, which then disappeared into thin air.

"Yeah!" the group of Digidestints cried happily.

"Another one down!" Davis cried as he ran over to his Ex-Veemon.

All the Digimon de-digivolved back to their rookie forms.

The Digidestints all held their digimon partners close to them happily.

"Great work Patamon!" T.K smiled as he hugged his friend.

"Weldone Gatomon!" Kari cheered, "I think someone deserves some fish!"

Gatomon grinned happily showing her fangs.

"I think we should take a break," Davis suggested to his teammates.

"Great idea! I brought some food from my families convenience shop!" Yolei agreed as she swung a plastic bag filled up with food about in the air.

"Yum! Can't wait!" Armadillomon rubbed his hands together as he stuck his tongue out, "I'm starving!"

"You're always hungry!" Cody smiled happily.

The group all laughed together.

"Over here!" Davis ran off as he spotted the perfect area for the group to have dinner.

Yolei ran after him, "Hey wait up!"

When Davis and Yolei reached the area, Yolei laid a cloth on the ground for the group to sit on and started to place different foods about the centre of the cloth.

T.K, Kari, Cody and Ken all sat down in a big circle with their digimon partners by their sides.

"Hey Ken, will you be able to come out tomorrow with us? We're thinking about having a little holiday here for once instead of working, how about it?" Davis questioned hopefully.

Ken blinked a few times as he thought about it, then he smiled kindly and nodded, "Um, sure."

"Great!" Davis clenched his hand into a fist and raised it into the air, "Yeah!"

Kari and T.K both smiled in unison.

Just at that moment, Cody received an e-mail.

"Uh, you're turning into Kari with all those e-mails!" Armadillomon groaned in annoyance as Cody read over his e-mail.

"It's from Izzy, he says he's picking up something weird on his computer," Cody paused as he typed in a reply.

"What weird?" Kari questioned curiously.

"Um," Cody waited for Izzy's response, when a little click could be heard Cody read over his new in-coming mail, "A little signal... Like... A... Crest!"

"Wow! You mean there's a new crest out there?" Yolei questioned excitedly.

"But who does it belong too?" T.K asked out of the blue.

The group all looked over at their friend.

T.K looked at the ground, "We all have a crest or at least have armour digieggs created from the former Digidestints crests... So who does it belong too?"

Ken looked at T.K then thought about it for a moment, "Maybe, there's a new Digidestint on the scene...?" he suggested.

"Ya think?" Davis raised an eyebrow, he turned towards Cody, "Where is it?"

Cody typed in a reply and waited a few moments then a click signalled that Izzy had replied, "Down in the beach area."

"Well let's go then!" Davis ordered as he held his D-3 up in the air, "Let's go Veemon!"

Veemon nodded in agreement.

"Digi-armour energize!" Davis cried.

"Veemon armour digivolved too.... Raindramon!"

Davis jumped on to Raindramon's back and offered his hand to Ken.

Ken looked at it for a moment then he nodded and grabbed Wormmon as he took Davis's hand and jumped on behind him.

"Ready?" Kari asked.

"You two!" T.K looked back at Patamon.

"Digivolve!" Yolei cried.

"Digi-armour energize!" T.K and Kari cried in unison.

"Gatomon armour digivolved too..."

"Patamon armour digivolved too..."

"Hawkmon digivolved too..."

"Nefertimon!"

"Pegasusmon!"

"Aquilamon!"

Cody and Armadillomon jumped on behind T.K on Pegasusmon's back.

The group all flew or ran towards the beach area.

After a few minutes of continuous running or flying the group were nearly there. "Look! There's the beach! Over there!" Cody pointed forwards.

Ken and Davis jumped off Raindramon's back and he de-digivolved back to Veemon.

Pegasusmon, Nefertimon and Aquilamon returned to their rookie forms as well.

"Let's all get looking then!" T.K ordered, "We'll all split up, each one of us can look up or down of the beach, you can choose, kay?"

The group all nodded in unison about T.K's idea.

Ken and Davis began searching the top of the beach, Yolei and Kari near the bottom and Cody and T.K in the middle

"So, do you really think there could be a new Digidestint about?" Davis questioned his good friend Ken.

Ken paused as he looked down at the ground, "I think so..."

"But, there can't be any more left, I thought all the Digidestints in Japan had been, like, discovered?" Davis questioned.

"Yes, but it doesn't necessarily mean this new Digidestint is from Japan, they could easily be from somewhere else like America or Africa," Ken paused as he picked Wormmon up, "We can't really tell..."

Davis nodded understandingly, "It's all unknown."

Ken nodded in agreement, "A mystery..."

Suddenly, something half-covered in sand glowed a deep orangish colour.

"What's that?" Veemon questioned.

Ken bent down with one hand clutching Wormmon by his side, he reached his other hand out and picked up the strange object.

Ken's eyes widened as he took in the realisation of what the object was.

"It's the crest!" Wormmon cheered happily.

"You're correct my friend," Ken smiled kindly, "It looks like we've found it!"

"I'll e-mail the others and tell them we've found the crest!" Davis pulled his D-Terminal out his pocket and started to type in a message to send to the other Digidestints.

"Hey, it looks like Davis and Ken have found the crest," Kari blinked as she read the message.

"Weldone guys," T.K grinned, "They've found the crest!"

Cody, T.K, Kari and Yolei all made their way up the beach towards Davis, Ken and the newly found crest.

"Hey guys! We heard you found the new crest!" Kari shouted as she ran up to the two boys and their Digimon.

"Yeah! It's real cool!" Davis replied happily.

"Can I see it?" Kari asked curiously.

"Um, sure," Ken passed the crest over to Kari.

"It's the crest of Mystery," Gatomon gazed at it with Kari.

Kari passed the crest along to Yolei.

"It, looks like a, maze, a little maze," Yolei held it up in the air.

Yolei passed the crest back to Ken and he placed it in his pocket.

"A maze with no ending," T.K raised an eyebrow as he noticed there was no end to the maze he had just seen.

"No escape..." Ken added in a low quiet tone.

The group all went silent after Ken's last comment.

Suddenly Ken felt a drop of water fall onto his cheek and slowly run down. He looked up into the sky and noticed clouds were starting to form above the group.

Cody noticed Ken looking upwards and raised an eyebrow as he turned his head up when suddenly a couple of rain droplets hit his forehead.

Davis jumped when he heard something hit against his goggles then he realised what it was, "Rain..."

Just as Davis finished, the rain started to come down harder and faster.

"We better go back to the real world," T.K suggested, "We don't wanna get soaked here do we?"

Kari nodded her head in agreement.

"Thank god I have this hat!" Yolei cried as she held her hair in a ponytail and flung it forward to stop it getting wet.

The group began running as fast as they could to get out of the rain and back home!

T.K, Kari and Ken were all carrying their Digimon while Davis, Yolei and Cody had too big of Digimon partners so they had to run by their sides.

"Look! A T.V!" T.K pointed towards a little T.V at the top of a huge hill.

"Great! Let's go home!" Yolei sped up her pace and held her red D-3 out as she neared the T.V.

Yolei and Hawkmon were pulled into the T.V first.

"Wait for me man!" Davis held his blue D-3 out.

"And me!" Cody cried as he held his yellow D-3 out.

Cody and Armadillomon and Davis and Veemon were pulled into the T.V.

"Don't forget us!" T.K cried as he reached his green D-3 out.

Kari nodded and held her pink Digivice infront of her.

Kari, Gatomon, T.K and Patamon were all sucked in.

"Come on Ken!" Wormmon shouted as Ken reached his black D-3 out.

Suddenly the crest of Mystery started to glow making Ken stop in his tracks and look down.

He pulled the crest out his pocket, "What's going on?"

Suddenly a silhouette of a Digimon could be seen behind the duo.

Ken spun around and held a defensive pose as he looked at the outline of the mysterious Digimon, he raised an eyebrow, he could not see the Digimon at all except it's eyes... It's eyes were glowing orange, like the crest!

Ken widened his eyes and looked at the crest then the Digimon.

The Digimon raised his head then ran off at the speed of light.

Ken was about to chase after it but was stopped when Wormmon clutched to him tightly, "Wormmon?"

"Ken please don't," Wormmon paused as he changed his sight down to the crest in Ken's free hand, "It's stopped glowing... Meaning that Digimon is long gone..."

Ken relaxed and nodded in agreement, "Yes... I guess your right Wormmon..."

"Now let's go home, you're hair's getting soaked," Wormmon said on a lighter note.

Ken put the crest back in his pocket and glanced at his hair which was starting to cling to the side of his face, he smiled, "Um, yeah, let's go," he nodded as he held his black D-3 out.

"Ken! We were wondering where you got too! Why did you take so long? We thought you were getting attacked by some Digimon!" Davis exclaimed as Ken and Wormmon appeared back in the computer room of Odaiba School.

"Um sorry Davis, I thought I saw something back there..." Ken finished as Wormmon nodded in agreement.

Davis sighed in relief, "Fair enough."

Kari walked up to Ken, "Look at your hair Ken. It's soaked!"

Ken blushed slightly with embarrassment, "Um, yeah..."

"You should get it dyed quickly before it goes static," Kari smiled kindly.

Ken nodded shyly and went even redder with embarrassment.

"Hey Kari! My hair's soaking too, look!" Davis pointed to his hair in an attempt to gain Kari's attention.

Yolei scrunched her face up in disgust, "That's not wetness, that's grease! Ewww! When was the last time you washed your hair Davis?"

"I...I..." Davis was about to reply when he noticed the expression of disgust on Kari's face.

"Um, Davis, maybe you should go home and have a wash," Kari suggested in a light and polite tone.

Davis sighed as he gave up and a sweat drop appeared on his head.

"We better get home too, I promised my mom I'd help her clean today," Ken added as he looked down at his companion.

"Awww, really?" Davis looked at Ken sadly, "Well you're definitely coming tomorrow, right?"

"Yeah, sure," Ken smiled and nodded, "What time?"

"Meet us by the forest area at 10, kay?" Davis suggested.

"Sure," Ken nodded; "I better go now, bye!" he waved as he and Wormmon exited the classroom.

"Bye!" the group called after Ken in unison.

Kari sighed, "I'm bored, they'll be nothing to do at home because Tai is away all weekend and I prefer not to get in to a chat about cooking with my mom again."

T.K chuckled, "Yeah, same here, Matt's got band practice all day, so I'll have nothing to do too."

"Well I've got a Kendo lesson to go to soon," Cody added.

"I've got to this thing with my siblings, it's a family photo thing, so degrading..." Yolei moaned as even the thought of being seen in a photo with all her family was depressing, "No matter what, my brother always seems to ruin the photo each year..."

"Yeah and my mom is making me do something with her, not sure what, I guess it must be important," Davis sighed as he picked up Demiveemon.

"Hey T.K, how about we both go shopping together for a while, just for a little fun?" Kari suggested happily.

"Great idea Kari," T.K smiled and held a thumb up, he looked down at Patamon, "And maybe I'll see something for you, eh?"

Patamon smiled happily, "I hope so!"

Davis frowned as he looked between the pair, "Um, I don't have anything to do either, can I come?" he questioned quickly.

"You just said you had something important to do with your mother, Davis?" Kari raised an eyebrow.

"Hey well nothing is more important that you, Kari," Davis grinned innocently.

"Davis, I think family is very important and if you don't feel the same way then I'm just hurt," Kari frowned as she turned to face T.K.

Davis's eyes widened, "Um, no! No! Of course my mom is important! I'm just leaving now, bye!"

Davis waved as he ran out the classroom clinging to Demiveemon.

"Did I just see a trail of fire follow after Davis?" Yolei joked, "Come on Cody, I'll walk with you?"

Cody nodded, "Sure, let's go."

"We'll see you guys later, kay?" Yolei smiled as Poromon waved.

"Kay, bye!" Kari waved after her friends.

"Let's go shopping then!" T.K cheered.

"Yay!" Patamon flew up and sat on top of T.K's hat.

Kari and T.K both smiled in unison as they exited the classroom...
