Chapter 10 Recap

"You fought two of the Demon Lords? Alone?! Just to save a village of plants? Aren't you supposed to be on their side?" Dick asked disbelievingly.

"I was never on deir side, I acted like I was so dey would trust me and I could collect information for de Celestials and Digital Knights, and de four tamers that can biomerge."

"And where did that get you?" Kouji bluntly demanded.

"A few injuries, a persistant migraine and a lot of favors I can call in at any time, Badaboom!" He drawled back sarcastically.

"Impmon…can we really trust you? Honestly, truly trust you?" Tommy asked him, a hint of the naïve child we once knew seeping into his voice.

"Of course, I'm on your side, I've always been on your side. But now is not da time for chit chat. Da other Demon Lords were notified when I dedigivolved and thus relinquished my claim on da powers of Gluttony. Thus dey know a rough estimate of where I am, and they are fully aware of your existence and presence in da world and have ordered a world-wide search for all of youse. We need to leave…now."

Disclaimer: Still don't own Digimon...I only own Dick and Zelena.

AN: Another short one, but I'm in the process of transitioning them towards the next big thing in the plot. Bear with me!

CHAPTER 11

For a moment everyone just stood there in shock, then we were quickly brought back to reality, and scurried about the room, packing our belongings and supplies. We all wore the clothes we received from the Floramon, deciding it to be easier to carry our Earth clothes rather than the bulky formal outfits of the D-world, as well as our black cloaks, so that we could have optimal space for supplies. Each of us carries a satchel with the Earth clothes and a portion of supplies that include; meat apples, fire starters (matches, lighter, wax), 2 canteens of water, blanket, bundle of large leaves, small first aid kit, and whatever else we had upon entering the D-world.

We exit the chamber for the last time, and I locked the doors behind us with a blood spell that can only be broken by someone of blood relations. We quickly followed the symbols to an alternate, safer exit, located far away from the extinct Breezy Village. As we reached the exit, we saw that the sun was about to set meaning it was almost night. We decided that our next course of action would be to head towards Seraphimon's castle, but first things first, we agreed to walk an hour away from the maze entrance and then set camp, allowing us some safe distance from the maze, just in case anything followed us, to allow us to rest for the night. Upon trekking for an hour we came across a sight for sore eyes: the TV trees. We reminisced for a few short moments of our last adventure and our home lives, wondering if and when we will return.

"You know," JP started thoughtfully, "My dad did mention something about needing a computer or TV screen to open the Digi-port and return home…so in theory…"

"In theory it could be possible to use the TV Trees to open a Digi-port and return home?" Dick interrupted, finishing his thought. JP nodded his head, still lost in thought.

"It could work. Essentially, it's the same method our parents used with the original digi-ports, I don't see why it can't work now." Yutaka agreed.

"But we don't even know if they are compatible with the Digi-port, and if we aren't careful, we could damage the digi-port or worse, leaving us stuck here forever." Kouichie reminded them.

"I agree with Kouchie, I don't think we should use these trees." I added my input.

"Oh? Is that so, princess? Well what do you suggest?" Dick asked her snidely.

"All I'm saying is that my father was very specific as to what we should use to get back home, and he never said anything about the TV Trees. Yeesh, no need to be such a dick, Dick." I turned my head away from him, nose snootily in the air.

"That's rich coming from you, Princess. Stop acting like such a Princess, Princess, it's unappealing at best." He sneered.

"Look, If you want to destroy our only way of getting back home, fine be my guest, but just know, that if you do, I will make the rest of your digital existence so miserable, you will wish for someone to scan your fractal code before I'm through with you." I turned and stomped away from him, deciding it best to go cool off for a bit instead of making things worse.

Before I could get too far, Kouji, Tommy, Lena, and Impmon had joined me on my walk. We decided to get some meat apples from some nearby trees, that way we could add to our current stash and preserve them as long as possible. We gathered arm full of apples and returned to camp just in time to hear the verdict.

"After, much, deliberation, we've decided it best to not use the TV Trees for a return trip home. We still don't know all the details about the DL's and the current affair of the worlds, and I think it would be best if we not leave and/or attempt to leave the D-world until we at least meet with the Celestials and find out what's going on. That's not to say we can't decide to leave after we meet with them, but for now, I think its best that we don't even think about leaving." Takuya told us with a surprisingly maturely serious tone. Everyone nodded their consent, some coughDICKcough, more begrudgingly than others.

After we cooked and ate the meat apples, we set out large leaves and our blankets for the night, deciding that an early bed time and wake-up would be beneficial to our still long trek towards the Forest Terminal. After deciding on a night rotation, we finally snuggled down into the leaves to sleep around the dwindling fire, same locations as the previous night, the only exception being Impmon who slept peacefully between my sister and me.
