Chapter 4 – Which Way?

げつ ふま

Impmon digivolve to… Beelzemon.

"Alright, Wargrowlmon, let's take these guys out," he said, pulling out his pistols. "Double Impact!"

The two bullets sped toward one of the Kuwagamon, hitting it in the center of the head. It fell to the ground and Digitized.

"Atomic Blaster!" Wargrowlmon yelled as he shot his chest cannons.

Beelzemon and Wargrowlmon repeated this process until there were no more Kuwagamon left. They then Dedigivolved and sat around Renamon with the others.

"Renamon, are you ok?" Rika asked quietly.

"Rika, I'm glad you came back," Renamon whispered. At that, she slumped in Rika's arms.

"Renamon!" Rika yelled.

"Rika, don't worry," Ryo comforted her. "She hasn't Digitized yet so she should be fine."

"Right," she replied, laying Renamon on her lap.

An hour passed, and Renamon woke up.

"I had the strangest dream," she said to Impmon when she saw him. "I dreamt Rika and the others had come back."

Moments later, Guilmon burst through the bushes yelling "She's up! She's up!"

More shouting followed, but not from Guilmon. Rika, Henry, Suzy, and Takato followed Guilmon while Ryo, Kazu, and Kenta came from the other side of the clearing.

"Renamon!" Rika shrieked happily, diving into her partner.

"Rika? But how?" Renamon asked, puzzled.

"Takatomon found a Digiportal," Guilmon answered.

"So it wasn't a dream," Renamon said under her breath. "I'm sorry for leading those Kuwagamon to you; I was excited to hear your voice again that I forgot that I was in their territory."

While Renamon told her story, Kazu was sniggering off in the bushes.

"Kazu? Why are you laughing?" Kenta asked.

"Renamon lost track of her feet! Renamon!" Kazu replied, his laughter becoming louder.

"Shut up, Kazu," Rika said, standing up with a fist half raised.

Kazu quieted down for the most part, but every minute or so you could hear a giggle escape his mouth.

Continuing their journey, the group had to have flown for dozens of miles.

Ascending the stairs, they discovered the top realm of the Digital World: the land of the Sovereign.

"So does anyone know which way to go?" Kenta asked, looking to the horizon.

"That way." Everyone said at once, all pointing different directions.

"I think that the Digimon should decide," Ryo said.

"Good idea," said Henry. "So which direction?"

As with the Tamers, each one said that it was a different direction.

"Ugh, this is getting us nowhere," Takato said. "Why don't we let Wargrowlmon decide, since he has to carry no matter which way we go?"

"Makes sense," they all muttered.

With that, they took off to where they hoped was Zhuqiaomon's Red Tower.
