----------------------Chapter Seven — Feeling Adventurous ------------------------
Same Night...
Sakura and Kanaye walked into their brother's room quietly. It was about ten pm and the six of them were getting ready to go to the D-World...alone. Matthew gave them a look telling them if they are ready, the two answered with a nod, pulling out their digivices. "Mom and dad are asleep too." Kanaye whispered. They were talking in hushed tones, since their mom was a light sleeper. She could hear anything.
They looked over to Taichi, who was on the computer. "Ask Hazy and Sunny if they're ready." Matthew commanded. Taichi nodded and IM'd the other two, who he was currently on the internet with. He typed out the question. He got two answers of yes. He nodded to Matthew. Matthew nodded. "Okay. Lets go. Tell them to go now." Taichi typed it then closed his computer. "Lets hurry."
The four of them held their digivices in front of them. "Digiport open!" They whispered loudly. A bright light showed up and covered the whole room. Then it disappeared, along with the teens.
Digital World (D-World)...
No sooner then they blinked, Matthew and the gang were all together...in a... "TREE?!" Taichi yelled.
"We came here to hang out in a tree?" Ryo asked in a dull manner.
"Lopmon said that if we came here, it would lead us to them." Matthew told them.
"And you were correct." They jumped and turned around. There stood Lopmon and the rest of the digimon. "Welcome back. It's been quite a while. We thought you guys would never come back."
Then BlackAgumon scoffed. "Amazingly, since they told their parents and the rest of the old digidestend."
The kids got wide eyed. "How did you know?"Maro asked.
"Easy." SnowAgumon said. "A little birdie told us."
"A what?" Ryo asked.
"Little Birdie." Snowagumon answered. "Well...it's not really a bird, but you get the point. MangaAngemon knows all."
"Okay." Matthew shook his head. "I know you told us not to tell our parents, but it's not our fault...just one person's." They all glared to Taichi, who groaned.
"Tattle Tails." Taichi muttered. "Look, sorry, I really am, but my dad was on my back! I can't lie to him!"
Terriermon chuckled. "Calm down. We're not mad."
"You're not?" Sakura questioned.
Lopmon shook her head. "No, of course not."
Taichi narrowed his eyes. "Couldn't you have told us that sooner?"
Kanaye rolled his eyes. "Anyways, why aren't you angry? I mean, you gave us one rule and that rule was to not tell our parents. We kind of broke it."
"Technically Taichi broke it." Guilmon corrected him.
Taichi crossed his arms and glared. "Thanks a lot!"
"To be honest, Kanaye," Terriermon said. "We wanted you to tell your parents and the other old digidestend."
"You did?!" They all yelled.
Taichi then did a nice guy pose. "Oh yeah! Who is your daddy?!" Ryo then slapped Taichi over the head. "Ow!" Taichi pouted. "That's the second time today!"
"No, it's the third time." Matthew said. "Remember? I had to hit you in the head with a pillow this morning, because you wouldn't wake up."
Lopmon shook her head. "Kids." She sighed out.
Terriermon laughed. "Yes, they are complicated, aren't they?"
"Much." Lopmon answered. "Anyways, I'm surprised your parents aren't here with you. They trust you enough to come alone?" She asked.
The teens froze. Matthew frowned. "We didn't tell them."
"You didn't?!" Koemon questioned, then kicked Matthew in the leg. "Have you guys gone coo-coo bananas?!"
Matthew jumped around in agony. "Ow! The hurt!" He growled. "Listen, my dad and mom are punishing me and Romie for something so stupid! So we're going to show them that we can grow up and we're not irresponsible."
Lopmon blinked. "You just proved yourselves wrong."
"Huh?" Taichi asked in a confused tone.
"If you wanted to show your parents that you're grown ups and not careless, then you should've waited because they probably would've accompanied you here, so you should've stayed with them." Lopmon told them. "It's very dangerous here in the Digital World. At least your parents could've showed you what you should do during an attack or if you're lost and more."
"Can't you guys teach us that?" Maro asked.
Lopmon sighed. "I don't know."
Terriermon smiled. "Oh, come on, Lopmon! Show some mercy! Since they're already here, might as well show them the ropes!"
"I agree." Koemon spoke up.
Guilmon nodded. "Sounds fun."
Snowagumon shrugged. "Sure, I wouldn't mind."
Blackagumon smirked. "Terriermon is right, Lopmon." He pointed out.
Lopmon growled. "Gr...fine! We'll show them around and stuff, but if something goes wrong, I'm putting the blame on you!"
Kanaye blinked. "Is it me, or does she sound like Shy-Shy did this afternoon?"
Maro laughed. "Oh yeah! Those two belong together!"
Sakura and Lopmon crossed their arms. "Boys..."
Outside...
"Alright, listen up. I'm only going to say this once." Lopmon said when they were all seated in a circle in front of the tree, which was explained to be their hideout, where they go for shelter. "When you're in the Digital World, we will be with you at all times, either all of us or just one, most likely your partner. Don't ever come to the Digital World alone without your team, it's more dangerous."
"Well, that's no fun." Maro muttered.
Lopmon sighed. "You're right, Maro. It isn't fun, but it's the rules you must follow. Now back to business...there is a very important reason why you were sent here now. Sure, the Digital World could've called for you a long time ago, or a few years later from now, but we needed you here now."
Matthew narrowed his eyes. "Why?"
"There is an evil getting ready to reign the Digital World. Two evils actually. We don't who they are yet or how they're going to do it, but all we do know is it's coming soon." Lopmon explained.
"An evil?!" Taichi asked in a high pitch tone. "Listen, if I knew we would be fighting evil, I would've never come here!"
"We're only kids." Kanaye pointed out.
Koemon laughed. "Yes, but you're older then your mom and dad when they first came to the Digital World as digidestend. I think your parents were eight, then eleven. Ryo's father was eleven. Then Maro's parents were fourteen. They all defeated more than two big evil digimon, with their team of course."
"Yes, that's true, but they each had huge teams!" Matthew said. "There are only six of us!"
"Oh, but you're wrong about that." Lopmon intervened. "The second team of digidestend was only five kids at first, then soon became six."
"Really?" Sakura questioned.
Lopmon nodded. "Yes."
"Okay...but...uh..." Matthew groaned. "I got nothing."
Terriermon chuckled. "No more excuses, Matty-boy?"
Matthew glared. "Don't. Ever. Call. Me. That." He growled.
Taichi chuckled. "Lighten up, Matthew."
"But you're right, Terriermon." Matthew sighed out. "I don't have anymore excuses."
"I do." Ryo stood up, putting his hands in his pants pocket. "What if we don't want to do this?"
Lopmon sighed. "We can't force you to do this, guys. It's your choice; just remember that the Digital World and your world could be in grave danger. We'll need all six of your helps."
The teens stayed in deep thought for quite a while. Should they risk their lives to save the two worlds? Or should they back out now and see what happens?
"I'll help." All eyes went to Sakura, who was seated on the ground with her legs to her chest, looking to the ground.
Lopmon smiled. "Thank you, Sakura."
Kanaye sighed. "Alright, I'll help too."
Terriermon grinned. "Cool!"
Ryo shrugged. "I got nothing else better to do, so why not?"
Snowagumon smiled widely. "Awesome!"
Maro chuckled. "I want to help save the world too! Those guys can't have all the credit!"
Koemon nodded. "Got that right!"
Taichi raised his eyebrows. "I'm surprised you guys agreed...oh well, I will too." Guilmon gave a nod.
Then all eyes went to Matthew and Blackagumon, who was sitting by Matthew. Blackagumon glanced to his partner, who was looking to the ground. "Matthew? If you don't want to, I'll understand." He said gently.
Matthew looked up to his partner. "I...I want to."
"Really?!" Taichi asked in amazement.
Matthew nodded. "Yeah...I'm so sick of everyone just thinking I'm a geek...at least this way, I'll know that I'm not one, that I'm doing something worth while."
Ryo smirked. "Hn, nice speech."
Matthew grinned. "Thanks!"
The group began talking and joking around a little, but they didn't notice two dark figures watching them within the trees.
Back In The Real World...Takashi Household...
Kari awoke with a start; she gasped and looked at her surroundings. When she realized she was safe in her bed, next to her husband, she relaxed a little, but something in her heart was bothering her. -I should go get a glass of water. Maybe that will calm me down- She managed to get out of bed without make a sound, then left the room. She walked downstairs and got her glass of water. She walked back upstairs and decided to just check up on her children, being the protective mother that she is.
Kari checked Sakura's room first and looked in and saw "her daughter" in her bed, under the covers, but something wasn't right. -Now I know Sakura isn't that big- She decided to see if her daughter was alright and peaked under the covers...what she found scared her half to death. Her eyes widen as she threw the blankets back. Pillows were there instead of Sakura's body! -What in the world?!- Kari quickly went into Kanaye's room and found the same. Then ran to Matthew and Taichi's room and found the same thing again.
"T.K. TAKASHI!" She screamed as she ran back in her room. T.K. was still snoring away. Kari growled. "T.K., get up! We have an emergency!" She shook him awake.
T.K. finally woke up, jumping out of bed. "What's going on?! Is it a burglar?!"
Kari shook her head. "No, it's worse! It's the kids!"
T.K.'s eyes widened with fear. "What's wrong? Where are they?!"
"I have no clue! I went to check on them and they're not in any of their rooms!" Kari said, rubbing her temples. "They couldn't have snuck out, I check the alarm, and it's still on. No one has touched it since we put it on when we went to sleep."
T.K. began pacing. "Okay, lets see...no sneaking out, did you check the living room or the den or the kitchen?"
Kari bit her lip. "Well I was just in the kitchen getting a drink, so no. I passed by the living room, saw no one, so no. I haven't checked the den."
T.K. nodded. "Then let's go see, hopefully their down there." Kari nodded uneasily and followed her husband down the stairs, into the den. It was pitch black. No one was present in the room. T.K. clenched those fists of his. "When I get my hands on those kids...I swear-"
"T.K., I had a nightmare." Kari suddenly said. T.K. looked to her with concern. "It...was about the digital world being under attack."
"So what are you saying, Kari?" T.K. asked. "Are you saying the kids snuck off into the digital world without us knowing?"
Kari shrugged. "Maybe."
T.K. shook his head. "I doubt it, they've done some stupid things this passed year, but they would never define me like that. We told them of the dangers the digital world has."
"Maybe they're rebelling?" Kari suggested. "Matthew and Taichi were still angry about having to be on the soccer team at dinner."
T.K. growled dangerously. "If they did that...ooh, I'm going to-"
"How about instead of threatening them, we call Aiden and Tai?" Kari said.
T.K. blinked. "Why?"
Kari groaned. "Come on, T.K., use your brain! If our four teenagers went to the digital world, obviously Maro and Ryo would've gone with them! The six of them are always getting into trouble together!"
"Oh, you're right, Kari!" T.K. ran to the phone and dialed Aiden's number. "If Maro and Ryo snuck off to the Digital World too, Aiden, Taya, Tai, and Sora are going to be so pissed...especially Aiden."
Back In The Digital World...
Lopmon suddenly stood up from her spot on the grass, going on high alert, making all eyes go on her. Terriermon raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter, Lopmon?" He asked in a curious tone.
Lopmon hushed him. "Someone has been watching us this whole time."
Everyone's widened. "How come you didn't sense them earlier?" Koemon hissed at her.
Lopmon glared. "I don't know myself, but shush up, you didn't sense them either!" She shot back.
"Thunder Blaster!" A lightning bold suddenly stuck in the middle of their circle, making Sakura scream out of fear. "My aim was off, I guess." A snicker was heard as well from a taunting voice.
Guilmon growled. "Who's there?!"
"Yeah, show yourself, you coward!" Terriermon added.
"Gladly." A shadow shot out from one of the trees close to them and circled them. "Hello."
"It's Wizardmon!" Lopmon gasped out. "Be careful, they're all clones except for one! It's an illusion!"
"I don't care what it is!" Blackagumon yelled. "Pepper Breath!" A green fireball came from his mouth and shot at one of the Wizardmon, who disappeared. "Hm, this should be easy."
"Wrong!" Another Wizardmon appeared behind Blackagumon and kicked him against the tree.
Snowagumon growled. "Frozen Winds!" A ice ball shot out of his mouth aiming for the Wizardmon, which made them disappear again.
A Wizardmon appeared behind Kanaye and Sakura, ready to attack! Ryo was the first one who caught this and pushed the two out of the way, taking the punch for himself, which made him fly into a tree. Kanaye and Sakura looked around; not really knowing what was happing. "Shy, are you alright?" Kanaye asked in a worry tone.
"Hazy!" Sakura yelled in fright.
Kanaye looked and saw Ryo's state. "That idiot!" He growled and ran to Ryo's side, leaving Sakura alone. Maro came to Sakura's side instead. Kanaye tried to shake Ryo awake. "Listen, you turd! You better be alright or else!"
Ryo's eyes opened suddenly as he pushed Kanaye away. "I'm fine!" He grunted, holding his stomach. "Where's Sakura? Are you two okay?" He asked in a semi-concerned tone.
Kanaye nodded. "Yeah, we're okay. Don't worry about us."
The digimon partners tried to get the Wizardmon away from the kids, since they weren't exactly experts on this stuff yet. "Thunder Blaster!" A lightning bolt almost hit Maro and Sakura, then another one almost hit Matthew and Taichi. Kanaye and Ryo were under a tree, so weren't seen.
Matthew clenched his fist. "We can't do this!"
"That's thinking positive!" Taichi said sarcastically.
"Seriously, we're just kids! We can't do this!" Matthew told his brother. "We need to run...now!"
Terriermon kicked a Wizardmon down and looked to the boys. "He's right! Just run somewhere safe! We'll find you when were done!"
"Let's go help Kanaye and Ryo." Matthew said. "Sakura! Maro! Start running away! We'll catch up!" He yelled to the other two.
Maro nodded and grabbed Sakura's arm and pulled her up. "Lets go!" He tried to run, but Sakura shook her head. "What's wrong? You heard Scope, we got to go!" Maro continued to try and pull her, but Sakura gave everything in to not move.
"I won't leave my brothers!" Sakura shouted.
Maro shook his head. "Sakura, we have no choice! They said they would catch up! Now come on! Let's go, or do I have to carry you?!"
"Just go, Sakura!" Matthew yelled, noticing they weren't gone yet. "I promise we'll find you! Maro, you better take care of her!"
Maro nodded. "I will, I promise! Now come on, Sakura!"
Sakura wanted to cry because she did not want to leave her brothers, but she had no choice and refused to cry. She nodded. "Okay, let's go." She whispered. Maro looked to her with sympathetic eyes and led her away. A figure in the trees quickly followed them.
Matthew and Taichi ran over to Kanaye and Ryo. "Let's move guys!"
Ryo glared. "Easy for you to say! You don't have a huge headache and a bruised stomach and back!"
Taichi rolled his eyes. "Get over it, Hazy! We got to go!"
"We already sent Sakura and Maro away, now we just got to go." Matthew told them.
"Thunder Blaster!" A lightning bolt hit the tree they were under and it caught on fire.
"That's not good." Taichi mumbled.
"No duh!" Ryo growled as Kanaye helped him get up. A big branch was about to fall on them, but they jumped out of the way. "Ow..." Ryo groaned, hitting the ground. Matthew and Kanaye helped him back up.
"Thunder Blaster!"
Taichi pulled on his hair. "Will this ever end?!"
Matthew took a deep breath, feeling quite overwhelmed. "Shut it, Taichi, we have to find the others!"
With Sakura and Maro...
The two youngest ones of the group kept running towards...wherever they're going! Soon Maro began to feel tired. "I got to sit down!" He panted as he plopped next to a tree.
Sakura raised her eyebrows. "You play soccer almost everyday and you can't run a few miles?"
Maro glared. "Hey, soccer gives me the strength, being scared doesn't!"
"Broom Shooter!" A little smoke bomb hit the ground in between Maro and Sakura! The two coughed violently and couldn't find each other.
"Shy-Shy!" Maro called out, getting up from his spot on the ground. "Where are you?!" Then he coughed some more. -Something doesn't feel right- "Sakura! Answer me! Just tell me you're okay!" He shouted. He heard nothing, but then...
"AH!" Sakura's sharp screamed was heard.
Maro's eyes widened, but then quickly closed cause of the smoke. "Sakura!" He cried out.
"Maro! Help me! Please!" Sakura's desperate cries were heard.
Maro got scared. Something just went terrible wrong. Finally the smoke cleared away, he opened his eyes and rubbed them, because they were burning from the smoke. He blinked a couple times and got his vision back to normal. "Shy-Shy, where are you?!" He called out. Sakura wasn't anywhere in sight. "Shy-Shy!" -I have to find the guys! I know they're going to kill me, but I have no other option here- He ran back the way he and Sakura just came from, hoping to bump into them. "Scope! Scope!" He called out over and over again.
"Sunny!" Matthew came in front of Maro, who stopped to catch his breath. The boys followed him and panted as well. Matthew's eyes widened. "Where's Sakura?" He asked fearfully. Kanaye's head snapped up when Matthew asked that.
Maro shook his head. "I'm sorry...I got scared, I didn't know what to do..."
Kanaye violently grabbed Maro's shirt collar and shook him. "Where is Sakura, Maro?!" He yelled, his patience officially gone.
"I-I d-don't know! W-we got a-attacked! I-I d-didn't s-see anything! B-but I heard h-her screams!" Maro stuttered out, hoping he wouldn't get hit by the worried brother.
Before Kanaye could answer, Sakura's screams were heard again. "Kanaye!" Kanaye turned his gaze from Maro to the sky. What the boys saw made them worry even more. "Kanaye!" Sakura screamed out for her twin brother, from the arms off Witchmon, a very heartless witch digimon, that flies around on a broomstick. Witchmon put a hand over Sakura's mouth to make her be quiet.
That's when Kanaye lost it. "Give her back! Now!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. He tried to maintain his angry attitude, but inside fear just filled his whole body.
Witchmon chuckled. "No, I think I'll have some fun with her first. You see, Wizardmon and I have a mission...to destroy the new digidestend in the most gruesome way." Witchmon took her hand from Sakura's mouth and grabbed the back of Sakura's head. Witchmon's hands are large, if you don't know.) "How's this?" She threatened as she pushed Sakura off the broomstick, but held her up with her hand on her head. Sakura screamed as she covered her eyes with her hands, scared to see what was going to happen to her next.
The boys' hearts almost stopped. Matthew clenched his fist. "Wait! Don't do it, Lady! We'll do what you want, just don't do it!" He yelled. "Why would you want to hurt a little girl?! We're all just kids! We have done nothing to you!"
"I don't hold a grudge against you digidestend. I'm just following orders that I've been given by my master." Witchmon put it simply. "Now it's time for the grand finale." She said as she was about to release Sakura from her hold.
-This can't be happening! This is a bad dream! Someone stop this!- Kanaye's mind screamed. "DON'T DO IT!"

"What is it now? There is nothing you can say that will stop this."
"He's got pants?"
"If I see you again, you're dead meat…and I love meat."
"I was once a teenage girl, T.K.!"
"I've been feeling pretty dizzy today."
