A/N: So sorry for the wait! The evil digimon was made by me xD don't search information of it because there isn't. Thank you ^^

The digimon waited a long time for their partners. While time passed in that world, a strange, dark digimon caused a lot of disaster. You could say that he already finished his task, but no one could know if the digital world would ever survive to his destruction. Probably when Hana saw for a moment the digital world with the sky dark and the floor glowing, it was in its last moment before it became pure darkness.

Knowing this information from their partner digimon, the teenagers set on camp while they sleep.

"So what do we do now? We come back home?" Kosuke said sitting down

"Even if we want to, how do we do that?" Kiyomi said to him

"I think we should stay"

Everyone looked at Hana while she looked at the digimon sleep on a side of their round with woodfire in the middle.

"Stay? How are we going to fight Hana? We don't… I mean, we haven't been here since…" a nervous Nobu tried to say

"I know" the red headed said looking down at her digivice in her hand

"Alright, let's stay" Now everyone looked at Hiroki with a surprised face. "We can't leave them like this, can we? We're their partners, and we're digidestined. It's our duty"

The group became silent for a moment thinking. And then, finally everyone agreed to stay with their digimons to restore the digiworld again. And when Kosuke let out a yawn, they also decided to go sleep, after all, it was night when they got there and they didn't slept at all.

Hana was trying to sleep in a bunch of big leafs on the floor, and someone was coming closer. "Aoi?" When she turned around, it was Hiroki.

"You can't sleep?"

"No…" said the brown haired boy sitting beside the girl

"You know, I said that we should stay because my dad told me something that maybe we could do, since we're all here" she told him

"Really? What did your father told you?" he asked calmly and in a low voice.

Hana sat to talk with him and let out a groan "He told me that while they were in the digital world their first time, they found their crests. Each one of them with a quality for them."

Hiroki glanced at his friend and rose a brow. "I think my dad told me something about that once. He only mentioned it as a comment though"

"Come on, tell me Hiroki" she nudged him a little and she was closer to him now, too.

"Y-yes, uhm…" he cleared his throat before he continued. "It was nothing. One day I asked him, not thinking what I was saying, 'where do I get some courage?'. And he looked at me, smiled and said 'well, you can always find it inside you, Hiroki'. That's all, I didn't give it any thought"

Hana chuckled "Sure, it happens to all of us. But, what did you needed courage for?"

"Why do you ask?"

She shrugged "I don't know, curiosity I guess"

"I don't remember… I think it was because some kid was bothering me, and I wanted to shake him off"

Hiroki, comparing to Taichi, is calmer and a little shy, he's smart too. But he always has a smile on his face and he's a good, lovable person.

"For what was he bothering you?" the girl kept asking as if a curiosity for knowing took place inside her.

"I think it was for some girl… I don't remember very well" He looked away a little flushed when she asked that.

When they were little and the digital gate was still open, Taichi and Koushiro got together more than a few times, and Hiroki and Hana got to play together. The first time they did that and they were introduced to each other, Hiroki hid behind his father's leg a little blushed while Hana, being a little older was standing in front of her father smiling.

After the gate closed they parted ways, went to different schools, and never saw each other. But Hiroki never forgot about that little girl, she was the smartest, nice, cute girl he ever saw. And she was now with him again, something he never imagined before.

"Okay…" Hana said with a surpised look. She never saw Hiroki like that. "My point is that maybe we could find our own crests… maybe"

The brown haired boy glanced at the girl beside him and noticed a little cut in her ankle.

"Hana, did you cut yourself?" he said still looking at the red spot in her white skin

"Eh? Oh, I think you're right. Maybe I got it when I fell from the tree, just don't worry. Tomorrow I'll put a band-aid on it"

"Hana… sorry that I couldn't do anything when you fell from the tree"

"Sorry for what? Don't worry, I'm fine Hiroki" she smiled softly at him, but he wouldn't look at her

"Look at me" When he did, Hana couldn't tell very much because it was dark, but her friend looked blushed?

"Hiroki, are you blushed?"

"W-what? I'm not!" he got up and left from the side of Hana. Leaving her wide eyed.

.

Meanwhile, Aoi couldn't stop either. He was lying down with his arms behind his head looking at the sky thinking. At the end, his mother was right, the digital world needed help.

Aoi made a look. "If I gave her the reason, probably she would give me some speech to pay her more attention and wink at me like a high school girl".

Sometimes the boy thinks that his mother is a little more than he can handle. But he has to admit that without her, he would not be able to get anything done.

The next day, everyone was ready to keep their travel, but first, they needed to prepare.

"The first thing we should know is that if you guys can evolve" Kosuke said putting his hands in his hips looking at all the digimon in front of him

"Kosuke, if we stay here, we'll never know, right?" Kiyoshi said looking at their little friends, and they nodded in response

The other boy pouted. "Okay, so we have to keep walking in the dark? What's the big idea?"

"Hey, don't fight." Yuki told both of them

Hana and Hiroki crossed looks and Hana smiled sympathetically at him. They both knew the reasons for what they had to keep going, even through the dark. One: to make their digimons evolve again, and two: to find their crests. The latter is a possibility, no one knows if there are crests for them in there.

For 30 minutes they were discussing over if keep advancing or not, but the digimons had the last word so they begun walking.

A green eyed girl let out a sigh "I can't believe they spent 30 minutes discussing if we should move or not"

Her partner digimon upamon chuckled. "Have patience! Besides, we're already moving, Kiyomi"

She smiled fondly at him "I guess you're right"

"Wait, we are in File Island, right?" Hana asked her motimon in her arms

"Yes, that is correct" he answered him

"Then, we can go to Village of beginnings" Yuki said, and everyone turned around

"Right… I wonder if there is much damage in there" Tadashi said with a sad face

"Don't be scared! We are right here with you!" tokomon said to him

"Yes, that's right!" chibimon said too

All the digimon started to encourage their partner. And soon they headed to village of beginnings.

.

.

"So… tanemon, tell me, how is this terrifying digimon?"

Her big red eyes looked at him and started to talk about how strong he was, how destructive and dark he was, too.

"Then, adult level isn't going to be enough, isn't it?" the blond boy said

"Aoi, I need to grow strong so we can restore our world and it doesn't gets worst" she said with a sad expression

He remembered the digivice glowing as if it was calling him in into this world, and Aoi smiled at her. "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere" he reassured her.

.

.

After walking some more with their digimon in their arms, they found the village of beginnings. It was so dark, it was depressing; that village it's definitely not to be like that. What about the eggs? Where's the guardian of those?

Kiyoshi "I remember elecmon… where is he?" he said looking around

Everyone did the same, but he seemed not to be there.

"There's not too much damage… right?"

Aoi looked at Nobu at if she was some incredule and squinted " 'Not too much damage'? Nobu, this place is very damaged! Look around!"

"Don't scream please" Hana used her firm tone of voice that mad Aoi instantly shut up

"What are you doing here?"

A voice was heard behind them, and when they turned around, there was a red digimon staring.

"We're so glad you're here!" Koromon said jumping out of Hiroki's embrace with the others following his action

"It's a long story, please tell us that the eggs are fine" the worried upamon said

"They are okay… but not for long" his ears got down "he is suppose to come here today, to make sure everything's the same"

"He? You mean that evil digimon?" Kosuke stepped forward

Elecmon nodded. "His name is Nidramon… he's been here for a long time, and leave this place like you see it now" he finished with a sad voice

"Then let's wait for him"

Everyone turned to see Hana "We should wait here to see him, at least once. Besides, that way we can know if you guys can evolve… right?"

"I think it's dangerous" Haruko said softly "We can't risk ourselves, not knowing if the digimon can evolve Hana-chan"

"I know, but it's the only way" She looked at the blonde biting her lip

"I don't know if I should say this, but I agree" Yuuta raised his hand and Yuki agreed too

Soon after, they all agreed, whether it was dangerous or not, they had to be brave. So they waited patiently to this digimon while holding their digivice in their hand thigthly.
