Thanks to people who have reviewed!
Please read and review, thanks!
"The Mysterious Digidestint?" Cody raised an eyebrow, "That's interesting."
"Yeah! That's a cool name! Did you think if it Kari? It's amazing!" Davis grinned as he edged closer to Kari.
"No, Tai thought of it," Kari shook her head, "He thought of it because we're all connected to our Crests."
"Oh…" Davis blinked.
"What do you mean connected to our crests?" Yolei asked curiously.
Kari sighed, not wanting to have to spend ages explaining the whole idea like Tai had to do the other night.
"She means that our crests are based on one of our personal traits," Ken explained for Kari, "Usually are strongest trait."
"Personal traits?" T.K placed a hand on his hip.
"Yes, like your crest is the Crest of Hope, that is because you are always able to provide hope, for Kari it means she has the power of light inside her which she uses against evil to win," Ken explained as Wormmon jumped onto his lap.
The group were at Odaiba School in the Computing Department; Ken was sitting down beside a computer while the rest stood beside their Digimon partner.
"And yours is Kindness, Ken," Wormmon smiled, "Your best trait!"
Ken nodded, "I guess."
"But what about me, Cody and Yolei?" Davis asked.
"Well, your traits are originally from the first group of Digidestints," Ken answered, "You each have two of the original Digidestint crests, Davis your two best traits are Courage and Friendship. Yolei yours are Love and Serenity. And finally Cody yours are Knowledge and Reliability," Ken smiled kindly, "And since you discovered those traits inside of you, your Digimon were enabled to digivolve to their armour forms."
"Oh, now even I understand it now!" Davis grinned.
"Yeah, thanks Ken," Kari smiled, "I really didn't want to have to spend ages explaining it all but you explained it in a few short sentences!"
Ken smiled, "No problem," he paused as he looked down at Wormmon then back up at his friends, "So now, we call this new Digidestint the Mysterious Digidestint as they must have a big part of their personality connected to mystery."
The group all nodded in unison.
For a few moments the room was filled with silence, until Davis broke it.
Davis sighed, "So, how do we find this Mysterious Digidestint?"
"Well… When we were searching for Kari back in the old days," T.K replied, "We used our digivices to help track her down. But the difference is that we knew she was in Japan, the mysterious Digidestint could be anywhere. Europe, Africa, America, Australia, anywhere!"
The group all remained silent as they thought hard about ideas and suggestions for finding the mysterious Digidestint.
Ken suddenly got a thought, "M-maybe, maybe we could use the crest?" he suggested as he pulled the Crest of Mystery out of his trouser pocket.
"How?" Cody raised an eyebrow.
"Well, we're all connected to our crests, right?" Ken paused as he looked down at the crest in his hand, "This crest has glowed a few times-"
"Like when you fell?" Davis cut in.
Ken nodded, "Yes, and I believe that's either because we're nearing the Digidestint or somehow we're unravelling the mystery."
"Great idea!" Yolei cheered happily.
"Or maybe we're close to finding something else," Cody tapped his fingers on his chin.
"What do you mean, Cody?" Davis questioned.
"What about the mysterious Digidestint's digimon? Maybe it's still loose about in the Digiworld, searching for it's human partner," Cody suggested, "And maybe when Ken fell, you were close to that Digimon?"
"Good point, Cody," T.K smiled as he held a thumb up.
"But we're still going with Ken's idea? Yeah?" Yolei looked back over to Ken.
"Only problem with that idea, is that we can't wonder about the Digiworld for ages, searching every part of it until the crest eventually glows," Kari looked down at the ground, "That would take far too long…"
The group all went silent once again.
Just at that moment, the group heard footsteps in the distance, someone was coming!!
They all panicked and quickly grabbed their Digimon as they stuffed them under the desk, beside Ken.
The door slowly slid open and a figure stood there.
"IZZY!" the kids all called in unison.
"Hey guys!" Izzy smiled.
Suddenly all the Digimon burst out from under the desk landing in a big pile.
"Um, it is a bit of a squeeze there, isn't it?" Davis grinned as he picked Demiveemon up.
"Ya think!?!" Demiveemon cried in his sweet little voice.
Each Digidestint picked up their Digimon partner from the pile.
Izzy noticed Ken sitting down with crutches lying against the computer desk beside him, "Oh yeah, I heard you had an accident, are you okay Ken?"
Ken nodded.
"Oh, he's fine," Wormmon smiled, "He'll be up and walking on his own in no time!"
Ken smiled at his friend.
"That's good," Izzy smiled, "I also heard about this Mysterious Digidestint you've been searching for, for a while, any new leads?"
The group all shook their heads grimly.
Izzy looked at each of them sympathetically then he smiled kindly as he sat down beside Ken, and logged onto a computer.
"May I have your D-3 and D-Terminal?" Izzy asked Ken.
Ken nodded as he passed his black D-3 and D-Terminal over to Izzy.
Izzy connected the two devices together and started typing stuff up on the computer then back down at the devices.
The group all raised an eyebrow and looked down at Izzy with confusion.
"I have a theory…" was all Izzy said to the group as he continued to type away.
The room was filled with silence as the Digidestints waited patiently for Izzy to explain his theory.
Just at that moment, Demiveemon's stomach rumbled loudly making him blush with embarrassment.
"You're kidding me!" Davis cried, "You just ate!"
Demiveemon smiled innocently, "Yeah… But I guess it wasn't enough!"
A sweat drop appeared on Davis's head.
"Um, I could go by my family's shop?" Yolei suggested.
"Please!" Demiveemon cheered.
"Thanks Yolei," Davis thanked Yolei for being so helpful to his bottom-less pit Digimon.
"Get me something too!" Poromon flew up to Yolei and landed on her head.
"Well, okay, since I'm going, does anyone else want anything?" Yolei asked.
"Me! Me! Me!" Upamon jumped up and down.
"Now you mention it, I am a little hungry," Patamon grinned.
"Fish for me!" Gatomon cheered.
"Okay," Yolei nodded, "Wormmon, do you want anything?"
Wormmon blinked then looked up at Ken as if to ask for approval.
"If you want anything?" Ken replied back to Wormmon.
Wormmon smiled happily, "Yes please!"
Yolei smiled, "Okay then!" she waved as she made her way out of the Computing Room and off down to her family's convenience store.
"Finished!" Izzy cheered just as Yolei left.
"So, just what is it?" Cody questioned as the group surrounded Izzy.
"I've managed to programme the D-Terminal and D-3 to find any traces of the Mysterious Digidestint. It'll help but that's only if he or she is in the same vicinity as you all," Izzy explained, "I can programme it into all of your D-3's if you want?"
Kari and T.K nodded in unison as they held their D-3's and D-Terminal's out for Izzy.
"Thank you Izzy," Cody bowed slightly as he passed his D-3 and D-Terminal over to Izzy.
"Yeah, man!" Davis nodded in agreement as he passed his two devices over.
Ken took his D-3 and D-Terminal back and pressed a few buttons, just seeing what the modifications were that Izzy had made.
There was a little map of the Digiworld, like usual, but instead of the normal white squares there were orange squares.
Ken blinked in confusion.
Izzy noticed Ken's confusion and began explaining what it all meant, "The orange squares are traces of the Mysterious Digidestint. Those areas that are orange at the moment are the areas you have been while carrying the Crest of Mystery."
"So, she or he hasn't actually been in the Digital World yet?" T.K questioned.
Izzy nodded, "Well not on the known map yet anyway."
"Whaddya mean 'known'?" Davis raised an eyebrow.
"Well we can't be totally sure we've explored all of the Digiworld, can we?" Izzy paused, "And what about the other world?"
"Other world?" Cody shook his head in confusion.
"He means the Dark Ocean…" Kari said in a sad and low tone.
Ken looked down at the ground sadly at the hearing of 'Dark Ocean,' he didn't like being reminded of that awful place which had caused so much pain to him…
Izzy nodded, "We don't have a map of that area so we can't be sure of that."
"Oh…." Davis noticed Kari's sadness.
"But, wait a sec, you're saying that the Mysterious Digidestint could have been to the Dark Ocean?" T.K frowned in confusion.
"Well, we can't really tell can we?" Izzy replied.
"But, they'd go straight to the Digiworld first…" Davis said confidently, then he paused, "Wouldn't they?"
Izzy shrugged, "Well, Ken's first experience of the Digiworld was the Dark Ocean, wasn't it?"
The group all turned to look at Ken.
Ken blushed shyly and looked down at Wormmon.
"You went to the Dark Ocean first, when you first entered the Digiworld?" Davis questioned.
Ken nodded shyly, "Um…. Yeah…."
Kari looked at Ken sympathetically, That must have been when he turned into the Digimon Emperor…
"Does that mean we're going to have to enter that Dark Ocean place and search around for any traces of the Mysterious Digidestint?" Davis questioned Izzy.
Izzy shrugged, "Couldn't hurt…" then he noticed Kari and Ken's sad expressions, "Um, well, in a matter of speaking that is…"
"So, is there anything else you'd like to suggest to us Izzy?" Cody questioned.
Izzy shook his head, "Nope that's all I can gather with the facts at hand, does anyone else have any theories?"
The room was silent, everyone waiting for someone maybe to suggest something when…
"Um…" Ken broke the silence.
"Ken?" Izzy raised an eyebrow.
"Well… I… Well, Wormmon and I composed a theory, but em, it doesn't have any evidence to back it up just yet…." Ken looked down at Wormmon.
"Hey, that doesn't matter man! Shoot!" Davis grinned happily as Demiveemon crawled onto his head.
Ken nodded in comply to Davis, "Well, we were thinking, that there's a possibility that with everything that's happened, while I've possessed the Crest of Mystery-"
"You mean when you saw the crest glow?" Davis cut in.
Ken nodded slowly, "Yeah," he continued, "That it could be somehow evil. It's just a theory, that's all…"
"That's quite an interesting hypothesis Ken," Izzy tapped his fingers on his chin, "So, you're saying, you think the crest could be corrupted by the forces of evil?"
Ken shrugged, "Maybe."
The room went silent for a moment, as each Digidestint and Digimon thought to himself or herself.
"All done!" Izzy cheered, as he passed the D-3's and D-Terminal's back to their owners.
Davis checked the new map, and furrowed his brow, "Uh! This is all getting so confusing!"
"Yeah, I know what you mean…" T.K nodded in agreement.
(Hard to believe, eh? T.K and Davis agreeing wit each other? I'll shut up…)
"Hey guys!" Yolei giggled as she entered the Computer Room, holding a bag full of treats!
"Sweets!" Demiveemon cheered.
"Candy!" Upamon chorused.
"Ice cream!" Patamon cried.
"Fish!" Gatomon cheered happily.
Poromon had already had his fill, and was currently just sucking on a little squishy yoghurt thingy.
"And for you Wormmon, little cakes," Yolei smiled, as she lay the packet of cakes on the table beside Ken and Wormmon.
Wormmon waved his front two legs/arms about happily, "Thank you Yolei."
(A/N: What are Wormmon's front two limbs?? Legs or arms??)
"So, what do we do now?" Cody questioned, as he watched Upamon stuff as much candy in his mouth as physically possible.
"Well, I think…" Davis paused, "I think we should go out and search the Digital World, see if anything appears on our new searching gadgets," he indicated to his D-Terminal.
"What!?! Searching gadgets!!" Yolei cried.
"But…" Kari stopped, her tone low and sad.
"What's wrong Kari?" T.K asked, his face covered in an expression of concern and worry for his best friend.
"What if, she or he, isn't in the Digital World," she paused as she bit her lip for a second, "What if, they've gone to the Dark Ocean…?"
The room filled with silence, no one was sure what to say back to that, until…
"Well then, I guess we'll just have to search there too…" Ken replied, looking up at Kari.
"What?" Yolei widened her eyes in confusion, as she held Poromon in her arms.
"We can't constantly hide from the Dark Ocean…" Ken frowned as he looked down at the ground, "And, after everything that place has done to me, I can't just sit back and watch this Mysterious Digidestint go through it all as well!"
Kari nodded in agreement, "Ken's right! We can't allow another person to be pulled into the darkness!"
"Well, that's it then!" Davis raised a fist into mid-air, "We'll just have to go to the Dark Ocean!"
"But how?" Cody questioned.
"I-" Davis paused as he looked around in confusion, "Um…"
"My point exactly," Cody sighed heavily.
"It's weird, when I went to the Dark Ocean, I just appeared there," Kari remembered back when she last went to the Dark Ocean, "I didn't go through any portals or anything, I just appeared there…"
"So… So, there's no way to get there, then?" Yolei asked sadly.
"I guess not…" T.K sighed.
"Wait…" Ken cut in, as he looked down at his Dark Digivice, "I was once able to open a portal to the Dark Ocean with my digivice…"
(A/N: It's like déjà vu, eh? Sorry, but I couldn't really think of anything more original to put.)
"With your digivice?" Davis repeated.
"Yes," Ken nodded, "I'm not sure how, but I have vague memories of just going there instead of going to the Digital World…I think, that if I really want to go then I'll appear there."
"Great! Well, we'll just have to use you then Ken!" Davis grinned, with a slight evilness.
Ken sweat dropped and looked at Davis slightly shocked, Use me?
"When should we go?" Yolei questioned curiously.
Davis thought about it for a moment, "Tomorrow, after school," he paused as he turned to look at Ken, "Can you meet us here, at the Computer lab?"
Ken nodded, "Sure."
"It's decided then!" Davis grinned, "So make sure to be good all day and not end up with detention Yolei!"
"Shut up goggle-brain!" Yolei retorted, "You're the one who always gets detention!!"
Davis sweat dropped and blushed, "Oh yeah… Heh-heh…"
