All: enjoy!


Waking up with a headache and an aching body was the least favourite things in Koichi's list after all the trouble that had been going on. It took him a minutes to adjust to his new surroundings and it almost took his breath away if it weren't for the fact that he was at the edge of a cliff. What's more, he didn't dare to move with how fragile the surface seems to the eye. He could digivolve. No, scratch that, he wasn't a flying type. Either he wants to fall to oblivion or await his death. Neither sounds good enough for him. In the end, he chose to slowly yet carefully crawl to the center of the cliff. He could at least try, right.

He slowly brought up his dangling leg, he almost succeeded when a voice that was very familiar to his ears startled him. That was the small push that he needs to plummet to oblivion.

"Koichi!" His brother voice yelled in alarm that pierced his eardrums.

As a last attempt to see his brother for the last time, he flipped his body in midair with great effort and saw his little brother with shocked wide eyes. But that wasn't what took him by surprised, it was the fact that his brother's feet wasn't touching the ground left him bombshell. He even forgot his predicament for a second. Only a second though. Once his mind was railing back to the present, his first thought was that he doesn't want Koji to see him fall. If he did, then he would surely blamed himself.

So with all his might, he tried to think of a way out when suddenly he felt a sudden wash of calm darkness surrounding his form. He didn't dared to look and when he did eventually opened his eyes, he was eye to eye with his brother.

"What the-" He began but was interrupted by a tackled from his brother.

"Don't you ever scare me like that again!" Koji hissed after letting go of his stunned brother.

Koichi nodded dumbly. He was touched by his brother's concern but he had to ask the question. "What just happened? I was sure I was falling when suddenly I felt-" His voice trailed when he caught a glimpse of what they were standing on. Nothing. "This day just got weirder and weirder." He said in awe.

Koji snorted at his brother's comment. "When was there a day not abnormal when we're in the digital world."

"We're in the digital world?" Koichi ask, examining his surroundings once again. Last time he wasn't able to swallow the scene but now that they're safe, (even if they were standing on an invisible platform) he could finally admire the area. They were surrounded by many rocks in all sizes and different kinds of crystals floating around them like beautiful twinkling stars in the sky that could only be seen in a far away sight. Both as small as an ant or as big as a house. What's more, it wasn't daytime, Koichi noted. It was a night Koichi had never seen before and he had seen his digital world dark night. It was like they were literally in space. At the thought, Koichi gasped. He looked down and saw nothing but darkness. He gulped. "We're not in digital space are we?"

Koji shrugged, though the thought had crossed his mind but he tends to not think about it. For the safety of his sanity. "Dunno, but I hope not."

Koichi grimace at the possibility. He really hope that, that wasn't the case. As beautiful as the place was, he wasn't eager to stay in space because theoretically there is no oxygen in space meaning death. "O-k. Let's not think about it for now and search for the others." He suggested which Koji without a doubt accepted.

They walked in silent to admire the scene when Koichi eventually broke it. "I've been meaning to ask, but what are we walking on?" He asked, looking at his feet which sent shivers down his spine.

"An invisible stone bridge." He simply answered.

"How did you find it?"

Koji took out his D-tector. It shone a bright light, and the invisible stone bridge was visible to the eye. Koichi stated in awe but it soon disappeared again as the light faded.

"Let me guess, you just felt like you need to bring out your D-tector and whoosh it glowed?"

"yeah. That sums it up."

"I can't believe you." He said teasingly. He did believe his brother, the evidence was there. What's more he did notice that his brother had an abnormal sense of direction for some reason. Ever since they came back home that is.

"Says the guy who just floated with a mass of darkness." Koji snorted. Koichi paused in his track. He stared at Koji blankly. Koji, feeling a little worried whether he had crossed the line asked. "Is something wrong Koichi?"

"I float with darkness?" Koichi asked, voice oddly distant.

When he put it that way, koji winched. How could he be so insensitive. "Sorry, I didn't mean to phrase it like that," He quickly corrected. "What I meant to say and I don't know how was that shadows surround you when you fell but it didn't fell hostile. Instead it felt kind of like you when you're in your digimon form. Well it did save you afterall." He explained.

Koichi stood silent for a few minutes which irked Koji's nerves but Koichi soon shrugged it off and continued to walk. "Well, if it's not hostile than there's nothing to worry about." He said nonchalantly.

Koji had thought of it many times since he'd known Koichi and he will thought of it again. Koichi sure has an amazing mood swings and great adaptability.

The walk travel a couple more rocky islands when they suddenly heard a scream. Both instantly turned to the source of the sound and found two blondes at the other side of the floating island. They squinted their eyes and was shocked to find TK dangling at the edge of the island gripping with both hands to avoid certain death. Then their attention turned to the other blonde, who they figured as his brother, Matt, and his partner gabumon were trying to reach for his brother but to no avail. At least patamon was able to help ease his partner from falling. But his body was too small to carry the boy.

Soon the twins turned to each other and nod in silent agreement. They brought out their D-tector.

"Execute, spirit evolution!" They said in unison.

"Lobomon!"

"Lowemon!"

A/N (Ask mister google on images)

Without a second to lose, both human-digimon leaped to the other island to save their friend.

Matt was startled by their sudden intruders and he was shocked to find two human-like digimon approaching them at top speed. Gabumon stood protectively between the two.

Matt cursed under his breath. "Why are we always the ones with the luck." He growled. He tripled his effort to reach his brother but TK was too far for his hand to reach. He examine his brother's face. He was unhealthily pale and both of his knuckles were white from the amount of abused he had taken to keep him from falling. He then noticed that patamon's effort was waning and TK was slipping. He forgot all about the two approaching digimon as he yelled for his brother. "TK! Hold on!" he shouted.

"No...TK please hold on!" Patamon shouted, desperate to carry his partner upwards.

The younger boy looked up at his brother and he rasped "I... Can't... Hold..." Before he could finish his sentence, his gripped loosen and he fell.

As though time had stopped, Matt watched as his brother fell but soon he disappeared in front of his eyes as a black blurr snatched his brother away. He turned so quickly that he almost got a whiplash. He stared in horror and relief at his unconscious brother in the arms of the black human-like digimon.

Matt stood slowly as he glared at the two digimon. "Let go of my brother." He hissed dangerously and was about to sprint for them but Gabumon stopped him.

The black one tilted his head in confusion when the white one whispered something in his ear. The black digimon's eyes widened and he gave an awkward smile at Matt. Not that he could see it with the mask. "Don't worry, we're not going to hurt your brother." He said in a surprisingly soothing and kind voice. Realizing that they wasn't able to convince Matt with that statement, he continued. "We're from the frontier group." He added, walking forward towards Matt with TK in his arms.

Matt eyes shot opened as he realize the name. The kids from frontier were the ones who doesn't have a digimon with them. Because they were the digimon themselves. Matt's shoulders relaxed as they finally convinced him that they were not his enemies.

When the digimon finally made it to Matt's side, he gave TK to him. Matt grabbed his brother gently before placing him on the ground, examining for any injuries. Matt gave a sigh of relief when he saw that there were only a slight bruise here and there that would not burden his movements. He turned to the twin digimon.

Matt gave an apologetic look as he smiled awkwardly. "Sorry and thanks for saving TK for me."

They smiled. "It's a pleasure." As they said that, digicode began to envelope the two and once they disappeared, Koichi and koji stood in place of the two digimon.

Matt stared in awe at the twins form. "I got to admit, that was pretty cool." Matt uttered without thinking. Gabumon gave them a bow of gratitude. In response, Koichi gave a shy smile while koji gave him a smirk.

After that, they talked a little about themselves like their digimon form and the reason for not digivolving Gabumon or Patamon as they wait for TK to regain consciousness. Apparently, both siblings lost their digivices when they fell and Matt hoped that they would find it soon.

Both TK and Matt got there together which was fine and dandy but they lost something so precious to them. They have been searching for their digivices for a while before the ground suddenly gave out from under them and TK fell. That's when Lowemon and Lobomon came to help.

As Matt finished his part of the story, they heard TK groaned. They turned and found TK sitting cross-legged with patamon snuggled in his arms. "I feel like a mushed potato." He muttered under his breath.

Matt and Koichi chuckled at the younger boy. "Can you stand?" Koichi ask as he held his hand out.

At first TK looked spectical to accept the hand, but he grabbed it in the end as he noticed Koichi's kind eyes. When their skin touched, they felt a surge of electricity from the contact. They quickly released each other's hand and stared in confusion.

Matt jogged to his brother side, worried by both of the teens reaction. "Is something wrong?" He ask, examining TK's palms.

Koji was beside Koichi and he also had the same look as Matt. Koichi shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. When we touched, there was a sudden spark..." He said.

Now, three pair of eyes were on TK. Without realizing it, TK was already approaching Koichi and Koji. He touched Koichi again and the result was the same but it wasn't as shocking as the first. He then turned to Koji and their skin brushed. TK was calm but Koji got startled and took a step back. Both twins and Matt stared at the younger blond.

"TK? Is something wrong?" Patamon ask, perching on TK's white hat.

TK tilt his head as he observe the twins. He looked at them with wonder and curiosity of a child. They waited for his answer. "Your aura is really calm," He said to Koichi, than he turned to koji. "While yours is very bright. Like that Kari girl," He gave a little thought and then he flicked his fingers and smiled. "Are you perhaps Yin and Yang?" He asked.

The twins were taken aback by his sudden cheerful demeanor, but nodded in response. "Koichi is the warrior of darkness while I'm the warrior of Light." Koji answered. He noticed that TK winched when he said darkness but he brushed it off, for now.

"Oh, now I get it," TK nodded in understanding.

"Get what?" Koji snapped. The boy was too cryptic for his patience.

TK doesn't seems to mind the boy's rude reply though. "I hold the crest of Hope. And it seems like our power have a great link between one another." He explained. "It's the same feeling I got when that girl Kari touched me and if I remember correctly, she's Light too."

"Maybe it have something to do with the original digidestined? I mean I have a feeling that Light, Darkness, Hope, Destiny and Miracle are within that small group." Matt added.

Koji thought for awhile but in the end he gave up and started to walk again. "Well, no use beating our brain for something we don't understand," He said. "Finding our friends are much more productive."

The other three glanced at each other before giving a shrugged as they chased the bandana boy. After they had made it to another island, TK eventually remembered about his missing digivice.

"We need to find Matt and mine's digivice. If we don't, we'll be defenceless." TK muttered aloud.

"oh, yeah. I forgot about that." Patamon added from atop of TK's head.

"Don't worry," Said Koichi giving them a small smile. "Koji has been working on it since we left."

Both the bearer of Hope and Friendship gave the twins a confused look. Koji glanced at the siblings and grunted. "How the heck did you forget your own digivices? Isn't it supposed to be our lifeline as a digidestined?"

Matt was about to protest but as soon as he opened his mouth, he shut them tight. He can't really protest the younger boy's accusation when in fact it was the truth. He was so worried about TK that he forgot all about it as soon as knew TK was safe. Note to self, don't ever mention it in front of Tai or he will never hear the end of it.

"I wanted to ask you guys earlier but got sidetracked?" TK protested which didn't convinced the bandana boy one bit.

Koji snorted. "Sure, Blondie." He said which got a nudged on the side by Koichi.

Both Matt and TK frowned at the boy's attitude but didn't point it out since his brother was there to keep him on track. "How are you going to find our digivices anyway?" Ask Matt in a not so friendly tone.

Koji walked in silent, so Koichi took it upon himself to answer the blond's question. "Koji is very good at finding things."

"That's all?" Matt stared at the twins incredulously. "We're following your six senses or something?"

"We wouldn't have to follow it if you guys hadn't lost it to begin with." Koji hissed at the blond.

Matt looked like he was about to pounced at the bandana kid, but TK hold him back. "We didn't lose it purposely," TK corrected. "When we fell, something sinister caught my hand and the digivice left our grasped." It's true. The moment that thing touched him, he felt sick. Matt tried to yank it away and he actually succeed by using his digivice's light. But before it completely went away, it was able to swat our digivice from our hands. Regretfully so.

"Sinister? Is it the same Black Mass in the white- I mean Miracle's world?" Koichi asked, as he helped TK to climb a big rock.

When they finally reached the top of the crystal-like mountain, TK nodded his head. "I think so. But I'm not sure."

"I wonder why-"

"Are these yours?" Koji interrupted his brother. When the three were talking, he had gone over the side of one of the rocks and there it was bleeping softly with not a scratch in place.

Koji threw the digivices at the Blondies as he made his way beside his brother.

"Thank you." TK said politely. He then nudge his brother to do the same.

"Thanks." Matt muttered.

TK rolled his eyes at his brother's childish behavior. "You know sooner or later we're going to have to work together, right?"

"I know but that doesn't mean I have to like it." Matt said as a matter of fact.

TK sighed in defeat as he faced the twins. TK thought that the receiving end would be furious by his brother's antic but in fact, it was the total opposite. Koji didn't seem to be bothered by his brother's attitude at all. TK was surprised. Maybe the boy wasn't as hotheaded as he thought he would be.

"How did you know it was here?" TK ask out of pure curiosity.

At first Koji battled whether to tell TK the truth or not but the boy's statement about them working together in the end made him conceded into satisfying the younger boy's curiosity. "Ever since our first adventure, I've always been able to find stuff easily. But for some reason, ever since I came here, I was able to utilize that sense even better than before," He explained nonchalantly. "And it was kinda hard to ignore the light those two gave out," He pointed at the blue and green digivices. "It's like they're telling me to find them. So I just follow the string of Light." He added.

Matt stared at him spectically. "You have superpowers now?"

Koji groaned in response. He already told them the truth, what more could the guy want. It's complicated and when something is complicated, there is no word to describe the phenomenon. Especially when it comes to the digital world. The place is basically a bunch of puzzles that only those who have an IQ of 200 wants to figure it out. Fortunately, TK saw his predicament and help the boy to escape a tight spot.

"Come on, Matt. Koji helped us find something that is really important to us. So you don't need to chew him for answers that he already gave us." TK said, not so happy by his brother's behavior.

Matt glanced at his brother and let out a defeated sigh. He was acting childish towards Koji and that wasn't fair for the other boy. Even if he was the one who started it. "Fine, sorry and thanks again."

Koichi gave the older boy a small understanding smile. His brother could sometimes act very childish towards someone he doesn't know. An act to hide his shyness. The thought made Koichi chuckled. Apparently, the gesture didn't go unnoticed.

"What's so funny?" Koji ask with an eyebrow raised in question.

"Nothing," Koichi coughed to stop his chuckling. "Anyway, should we proceed to find the others?" He ask, changing the subject and attention towards somewhere else but him.

"I don't think we need to," TK interjected. He held up his digivice and showed the others the multiple dots on the screen. "It seems like someone with a digivices has found us." He explained.

They studied the dots and fair enough, it was nearby. No, not nearby, it was already there with them. They look at the dots in confusion.

"I know four of those dots belongs to us but where are the other two?" Matt ask in confusion.

"Maybe they're above or under us?" Koichi suggested.

They glanced at each other before shrugging their shoulders. It was worth a try. They stared at the black starry sky and saw nothing. They then went to the edge of the crystal island and carefully took a peek at the bottom.

It was koji who saw the two human figure below them. "Hey, guys!" He called out to the others. "There they are!" He pointed at the four figure below them.

"Careful, we don't want a repeat of what happened the other time." Matt warned the younger boys as they called out to the figures below them.


"Hey, did you hear something?" Taiki interrupted Shoutmon's conversation with Henry.

They turned at his call and focused on their hearing. "Oh yeah, there is something calling for us." Henry said.

"A ghost maybe?" Terriermon said jokingly. This however scared cutemon a little.

"A-a ghost?" Cutemon stutter from within Taiki's fusion loader.

"Real mature, Terriermon." Shoutmon scolded the rabbit digimon.

"What?" Terriermon said innocently. Henry sighed at his partner antics.

On the other hand, Taiki smiled at their casual exchange. At least they're getting along. "How about we go investigate instead?" He suggested. Everyone agreed and followed his lead.

"Hey! Up here!" The voice shouted at the trio.

They tilt their heads upwards and was ecstatic to find more of their friends (new or old doesn't matter).

"Hey!" Taiki shouted back. "Are you guys alright?!"

"Yeah, we are!" Matt answered. "How about you!?" Taiki and the others nodded. "That's good. Do you want climb up here or we go down!" Matt ask.

Taiki thought about it before giving an answer. "Can you guys come down instead! Up is harder than down!" He reasond.

The quartet from above oblige and called out on their respective digimon.

"Gabumon, Digivolve!"

"Gabumon digivovle to... Garurumon!"

Matt helped his brother to mount Garurumon first before he climb on and sat behind TK with patamon on Garurumon's head. Koichi and koji on the other hand turned into lowemon and Lobomon. When they were ready, they jumped down from the island at the same time. When they reached the ground, both human digimon turned back to normal except for Garurumon.

"So that blue stripe can digivolve, Huh..." Shoutmon muttered under his breath. It could be said that he was a little jealous of the wolf digimon. But unlike him, he could fuse with alot of his friends. So he knew that he shouldn't be jealous of him. Everyone has their own pros and cons. And unfortunately for him, it was that he couldn't digivolve normally like the other digimons.

The trio ran towards their friends. "No matter how many times I see it, it always surprises me." Taiki said, looking at both Koichi and koji.

"You'll get used to it." Koji countered, though it's not as hostile as his words.

"Who woke that guy up on the wrong side of the bed. " Terriermon said.

"Terriermon." Henry warned his partner who shrugged it off with a momentai. "It's almost like when Terriermon and I merged." Henry added, trying to shift the topic before his partner get into a fight with their future comrade.

"Must be hard and annoying merging with Terriermon." Patamon commented.

"Hey!" Terriermon protested which got a good laugh from the group.

"Anyway we better-" Taiki began but was interrupted by a sudden gasped. He turned to the source and found TK hunched with his hand clenching his chest. Taiki walked towards him with a worried expression. "What's wrong?"

Matt was fussing over him but he didn't respond to any of his questions. When he did respond, he only a single sentence escaped. "Someone's light is fading..." He whispered so softly that Taiki and the others were forced to move closer.

"What do you mean?" Matt ask. He didn't like how unresponsive his brother was. Especially after yesterday fiasco. Something was terribly wrong and he doesn't want to fail his brother... again.

Instead of answering Matt's question, TK jerked his head up and stared at Koji with an unreadable expression. "You can find him right?" TK ask in a firm tone. "Guide us." He said in a 'no room to argue' tone.

Koji looked at him spectically before nodding his head. In truth he felt that light that TK mention as well. He wasn't entirely sure at first but after hearing TK's statement, he knew his senses weren't wrong. So even if the blond boy hadn't asked him to guide them, he would have taken them to it either way. The reason? Because it was too pure for it to be evil or leave this world. He have to save it. No matter what.

Without a second thought, Koji spirit digivolved into Kendogarurumon and ushered Koichi to get on his back. TK on the other hand digivolved patamon into Pegasusmon. Behind him was Matt with Henry and Terriermon riding on Garurumon and Taiki who rode on Dorulumon. They were running at top speed and with the occasional floating rocks in their way which forced them to lower the speed a bit to avoid collision.

Kendogarurumon then decreases he speed as they were closer to a certain crystal island that was larger than most. When they finally touched the ground and everyone turned back to normal, TK sprinted forward with a cry of distress.

They stared at the figure that was on the ground, lifeless beside the shimmering crystal. His skin was unusually pale, his lips were blue, his silver hair didn't have the same glow like when they first met and his eyes were shut close. He wasn't moving and that in itself was quite disturbing.

When TK finally reached the figure, he held out his hand towards Fray's neck to find a pulse. To his relief it was there but faint. So faint that it was hard to find, if it weren't for the fact that TK learned how to find a pulse easily from Joe. TK turned the silver-haired boy on to his back. His chest was barely raising to show his shallow breathing.

"Is he alright?" Henry ask, crouching beside TK as he examined the silver-haired boy. He looked pretty pale but what surprised him the most were the cat-like ears and twin tail. There were even white fur around his neck that makes it look like a white scarf. Overall, Fray looked awful. Like someone who had gone into war with only a knife in hand. (Aka, looks like a kicked kitten)

TK shook his head negatively. He looked like he was on the verge of tears but he held it back.

"What's wrong with him?" Koichi ask staring at the boy worryingly.

"Maybe it have something to do with the lights he emitted before we fell?" Henry suggested. Oh how right he was.

Matt clicked his tongue irritably. "Where is Joe when we need him..." He muttered.

Taiki held out his fusion loader and suggested. "Maybe Cutemon can help," As he said that, a pink rabbit materialize before them. He hurried towards Fray's side and chanted 'healing glow' before a warm green light surrounded the boy. When he was done, the others could hear the sniffles and sobs coming from Cutemon. They gave Taiki a confused look before the pink digimon went back into Taiki's loader. Taiki sigh dejectedly. "It's not working. It seems like he's not physically injured. Cause if he is then he should have woken up from Cutemon's healing. I think it have something to do with those lights... maybe it exhaust him or something and it created an internal injuries which Cutemon couldn't heal... "

When they heard that, everyone had a sober look. Finally finding the courage to speak his thought, he broke the silence.

"I think Taiki and Henry is on to something..." Koji interjected in the tense atmosphere.

"what?" His brother ask.

"His light," His eyebrow furrowing. "It's flickering like a light bulb. I don't know what will happen when it stop but..." He trailed off, moving closer towards Koichi. He didn't have to finish his sentence. Without him pointing it out. They understood.

But even though they understood, that doesn't mean they could accept it. Especially TK who hold the crest of Hope. He always have hope and he wasn't going to lose it.

So without thinking, he reached his hand towards Fray's chest. He closed his eyes as he concentrated towards the unknown. Suddenly he felt warmth enveloping his very being. A power he had never felt before. Like before he released it. This time that warmth was directed towards Fray. All the warmth he gathered travels from his chest to his limp body.

Hope.

That's what he is. He knew that their fate would change ever since they met him. He had an important role to fulfill. Along with himself and the others.

Soon, the colours from Fray's face began to return. His face began to flush from the sudden circulation of his blood and his pale skin came alive. Even his newly acquired ears and tails twitched in anticipation of awakening. But even with all the positive signs, TK didn't stop and he kept giving Fray his warmth, power and energy.

The others watched in awe as TK slowly healed Fray with his blinding yellow light. At first Matt was worried for his brother, but when he saw the effect TK's light have on Fray, he let it go and became a spectator. He didn't want to think about the possibility of TK having superpowers yet, but he would get to that soon. When someone wasn't dying.

But as soon as he thought of that, he gasped in horror as TK pale in comparison to what Fray looked like a minute ago. He even swayed after 2 minutes had gone by. Matt frantically reached for his brother and was about to dragged him away from Fray but realized that he wouldn't budge.

"No," The blond boy muttered. "I can't lose anyone... ever again!" He rasped as the exhaustion was taking over. Again? He turned and was met with teary big blue eyes. Patamon. Why is he crying?

After trying to pull TK gently away from Fray became ineffective, Matt used a rougher method. And that was by yanking his brother away forcefully. When he was about to yank his brother, he heard a series of gasp. It wasn't a gasp of horror, instead it was that of surprise and shock. Matt was about to ask, when a sudden blond hair blurred passed by him and caught his brother by the arms and pulled him away.

The scene was so abrupt that it took Matt and the others a few second to comprehend it. Realizing that TK was no longer in front of him, he quickly turned and found an unconscious TK in the arms of another blondie, Willis.

If it weren't for the fact that Matt would've done the same, he would have scolded the blond for handling his brother so roughly. What's more, the worried expression and aura emitting from Willis eases his rage.

"What were you thinking?!" Willis hissed at the unconscious boy. Though he got no response. "That could've killed you... Can't you think for yourself for once..." He whispered, sadness evident in his tone.

Hearing the word 'killed' got the others attention towards him. "Killed?" Koichi accidentally blurted out. Eyes widened, he quickly covered his mouth as he glanced at Matt.

His face was unreadable, which concerned the other boys. They didn't urge him to speak so they waited. It seems like Willis hadn't notice the sudden chill in the air emitted by the older blond because he was too focused on the younger.

Matt moved closer to the two blondes. He studied the two critically. If he hadn't known better, they could've passed off as siblings or even twins. At first he was hesitant, but in the end he reached out and placed a hand on Willis shoulder, getting his attention.

Willis jerked his face upwards and was met with sky blue. At first he was confused, but then he realize that it was Matt. He looked down and saw the still unconscious TK. He looked up again and then blushed frivolously.

"Sor-sorry!" He stuttered. "I uh-I didn't mean to-um... ugg-The thing is I was just-...power-super-hump!" He began to blabbered incoherently which was stopped by Terriermon's ear.

"Sorry 'bout that, Willis just got less intelligent when he's embarrassed..." Terriermon stated which got an angry 'hummff' from Willis. Terriermon huffed at his human partner. "Well I'm right aren't I, you barely made a full sentence just now!" That however got a smack in the head by another rabbit-like digimon.

"Whoa, he reminds me of someone..." Henry muttered under his breath which got an annoyed look from his Terriermon.

"Stop that nonsense already Terriermon," Lopmon scolded his counterpart. He then turned to the embarrassed Willis. "Now Willis, breathe. You need to be calm to explain to everyone. They want to know what's wrong too, especially Matt." He counsel the boy softly which he oblige.

"Will TK be OK?" Gabumon repeated the question in worry.

When Willis's breathing came out as soft and calm, Terriermon finally released his ear from Willis mouth. Willis gave him an annoyed look before returning his attention back to Matt and the others. He took a deep breath before speaking. "Yes..." The other let out a sigh of relief but tense when Willis continued. "I take it you want to know what just happened right?" He glanced shyly at their faces. They nodded, so he continued. "I wasn't here since the beginning but I got the gist of what had happened. Fray, who lost alot of digisoul after that last attempt of miracle collapsed. At the rate he was going through, he would've died instantly but it seems like Ornatumon had enough power to fused with Fray and gave him enough strength to live. But he would still die if he doesn't regain enough digisoul soon. That's where TK comes in. TK transferred his digisoul into Fray but..." He stared at the unconscious boy still in his lap. "He kept on giving more to Fray even though he doesn't need anymore of it. As a result, TK exhaust himself of digisoul and collapsed."

When he finished his explanation, he gave the others a few second to let the information sink. Then Henry broke the silent.

"What's this digisoul you mention?" He ask.

"It's the energy we sent to our digimon to digivolve or fuse them," He turned to Koichi and koji. "Or in your case turned into one."

"And this can kill, how?" Taiki muttered, loud enough for the others to hear him.

"If we exhaust our digisoul too much, it could send us into a state of coma. But if it was empty, we die. It's like using your own soul to power up our digimon. If we exhaust our soul, for example old age, we die," He explained which got a series of horror gasped. "But to avoid such situations, our body became exhausted and stopped us from using it anymore than necessary," He added quickly. "But TK here ignored his tried body's warning and kept on sending more. So I stopped him before he could send anymore then nessecary and went into coma or worse, killed."

Matt paled at his explanation. He turned his attention back towards his baby brother. He was so pale and he could barely see the raising of his chest. How could he thought of giving his life so easily? Was the trauma of losing Angemon still haunting him till this day? No, that's not what bothered Matt. It was the fact that maybe, just maybe... TK knew that if he hadn't done anything to help Fray, he would die. Did he know? Or was it a coincidence that his crest began to glow and send Fray the needed digisoul.

As Matt began to contemplate with the thought, he felt a sudden shift from the blond boy and found TK unconscious in his lap.

"You should be the one to hold him, you are afterall his brother." Willis said before kneeling next to the unconscious Fray. He checked his pulse and was relieve to find that it was steady. "We should move to somewhere safer." He suggested before making an attempt to carry Fray on his back but was stopped by Taiki.

"Let me carry him, I'm bigger which makes it easier." He offered, which Willis reluctantly agreed. He hate to admit it but it would drained him alot of energy if he were to carry Fray. Considering they were of the same height.

"At least now he/you won't get any shorter..." Both Terriermon said in unison.

"Terriermon!" Henry smacked his partner while Willis threw his off his shoulder. Though the two digimon didn't feel guilty whatsoever and instead fell in a fit of giggles.

"Momentai..., Henry..., Momentai." Terriermon said between his fit of giggles.

"What does... that even... mean?!" Willis's Terriermon ask.

"Hakunamatata!" He replied.

Both Henry and Willis groaned in frustration at their immature partner. Taiki and Koichi were trying to hold back their laughter, Shoutmon, Patamon, gabumon and the other digimons were already chuckling while Matt and koji had a smile on their faces. Even though their circumstances weren't appealing, it was nice to have a sense of norm once in a while.

After the laughing session was over (when Lopmon smacked the two Terriermon), Matt who had stood up with TK on his back turned to Willis. "So, where are we going?" He ask before adding. "I hope you know how to get out of here cause I for one don't."

Willis turned and pointed at the empty blackness. "We go there-"

"Are you crazy." Matt interrupted him which got him a glare. "Sorry." He sheepishly smile.

"As I was saying, there's an invisible stone bridge there. If we kept on walking for about 2 or 3 kilometers, we'll see the blue sky." He said.

"invisible stone bridge?" Henry wondered. "How is it daytime by just walking 2 kilometer or so?" He ask.

"I'm sure Koji can see the bridge as well. Since he is a guide. As for the time difference, let's just take jet lag as an example. There's an invisible barrier there that separate the two areas. I'm sure you guys have dealt with this scenario before." He explained and they nodded in understanding.


Koji and Koichi were in the front, followed by Willis, Matt and lastly Taiki. The digimons were beside their partner, making sure they didn't slip. Walking on invisible ground sure is nerve-wracking.

"Why does everything in this world is invisible?" Willis Terriermon ask.

"Maybe it's because this digital world is unstable." Koichi conveyed.

"Unstable?" Patamon ask from atop Matt's head. All the boys had the same expression as him, confusion, except for Willis and koji.

"In our digital world, we had to defeat the digimons that ate the areas data. As a result, the digital world became unstable. Just imagine this place as our digital world. The only difference was that it was brighter and could be restored." Koichi explained.

"So your digital world was broken into pieces?" Henry ask.

Koji snorted. "Rather than broken, it's more fitting to say that it was eaten."

Taiki, Henry and the others blanched at the thought. What kind of digimon that can eat a huge amount of data that made the areas? Must be a monster...

"Whoa, I don't want to get on that digimon bad side then." Patamon said.

Henry's Terriermon huffed atop his partner's head. "Henry and I could take em!" He made a small punching gesture with his ears as he said that.

"Terriermon, stop moving or you'll fall." Henry warned him which made him look at the ground and gave a nervous gulp. Henry chuckled at his partner's apparent fear.

"It's not nice to laugh at someone, Henry." He pouted at his partner.

"Says the guy who just laugh his ass off at someone just now." Willis Terriermon stated.

"Language!" Both Willis and Henry scolded the digimon.

"Whoa, not only did we got ourselves another Terriermon but also another Willis." Lopmon interjected.

Willis and Henry made eye contact and both gave each other a sheepish smile.

Though the two Terriermon groaned in dismay. "Momentai~" Both said in unison.

While the argument began between the two Terriermon and their partners, Taiki stated from beside Matt. "I have a feeling that it's going to be an interesting adventure." He smiled at the scene in front of him. He noticed the twins in front of them and he could tell they felt the same way.

"Yeah/Yup/Certainly/yes." Came his answer from Matt, Patamon, Gabumon and his partner, Shoutmon.
