Chapter 12: Return The Dark Ocean

Musuko's voice: We got a message saying there was trouble in the digital world, but Benson and Koji didn't show. When we got there we were trapped by Courtney and Unimon. Deputymon freed the girls and it wasn't long before we had that cowgirl running.

Digimon

Up to the past

As we head for the future

To reclaim the digital world

With faith in ourselves and trusting each other

We live by the lessons we've learned

As we work towards one solution

Through armor digivolution

I am the one, I am the one

Digimon

Forever united as one

Digimon

Together the battles are won

Digimon

Through us let your spirit evolve

We're all for one world

There's one for us all

For us there's one world

For us all

I am the one, I am the one

Digimon

Everyone was walking to school, but Koji seemed distracted.

'Come on Koji it was just a dream.' Koji thought.

'Something's up with Koji he's been acting pretty weird.' Musuko thought with him behind him. He was about to see what's up.

"What do you want!?" Koji snapped and Musuko was surprised. "Oh Musuko, sorry I was a little distracted."

"Hey guys come on or we'll be late." Mason said and they all started running in. Gatomon and Veemon were watching in the trees.

"Koji doesn't seem well." Veemon said.

"He must be focusing on those dreams." Gatomon said.

"Dreams?" Veemon said.

"Yeah he's been having the same one for the past few days." Gatomon said.

Musuko

Musuko was walking down the hall.

'Something's wrong with Koji I wonder what he's not telling me.' Musuko thought. He stopped when he saw Koji's class. 'Well there he is, but he does seem distant.' While the teacher was teaching Koji was distracted.

'Why can't I forget these dreams? What do they mean?' Koji thought. His eyes soon got misty and found himself surrounded by dark water. 'Hello Musuko, Gatomon, anyone.'

'Well he seems fine now.' Musuko thought then noticed Koji was all static like on a T.V. "Koji!" Musuko said as he came through and Koji snapped out of it with everyone turning to him.

"Hey what's going on?" Tio said. The Koji fainted as Tobi caught him.

"Koji are you okay?" Tobi said.

"Koji would you like to go to the nurse?" The teacher said.

"Yes miss." Koji said and when he left Musuko had a worried look. Koji was walking down the halls and couldn't forget what he saw. "I don't understand how this is happening. I don't even think I'm strong enough to fight it off." He turned and saw him and Musuko five years ago.

"Sorry I let you down Musuko." Younger Koji said and older Koji looked away.

"No don't be silly I have to." Koji said and a drop of water hit the ground and Koji felt something behind him. "Hello Natalie, Benson, Mason, Musuko is that you. Guys if that is you than this isn't funny." He looked back and was getting nervous since he was hearing something. "Okay guys you win I'm scared now." He then saw a shadow looking creature and ran.

Musuko

Musuko was in his class waiting for the bell to ring.

'Come on already." Musuko thought and when it went off he left in a hurry leaving the others confused.

"Where's he off to in a hurry?" Natalie said. Musuko was hurrying to the nurse's office.

"I got to check on Koji something's wrong." Musuko said and made it. "Excuse me nurse how's Koji?"

"I'm sorry Musuko Koji hasn't been here." The nurse said and Musuko left.

"I've got to find him." Musuko thought as he got in the bathroom. "Koji are you in here? Maybe he's in the digital world." Musuko hurried to the computer lab, but apparently no one has used the gate. "No he's not there either." He then ran through the school. 'I've got to find him; he could be in trouble, he could be.' Musuko thought and saw him on a bench outside. "Right down there." Musuko made it outside. "Koji are you okay?"

"No I can't forget about these dreams I have." Koji said.

"What dreams?" Musuko said.

"I'm down by the beach." Koji said.

"That doesn't sound unusual since we live by the beach." Musuko said.

"No another beach and I keep seeing these things." Koji said.

"What things?" Musuko said.

"Digimon I think. They want me to go to that beach, but I don't want to. I don't think I can fight them off for much longer." Koji said.

"You have to Koji. You're my little brother and even if we are a year apart I'm not going to let anyone take you without a fight." Musuko said with Koji looking at him. "Look it's obvious that you're not yourself so after school why don't you head home. The four of us can handle what's in the digital world and if it happens again just come to me." Musko then left.

…..

Gatomon

Gatomon was taking a nap in a tree and woke up to and saw Koji.

"The beach." Koji said as the beach was across from him and he crossed the road.

"What's Koji doing?" Gatomon said and saw that Koji was disappearing. Ross was walking by and saw Koji.

"Is that Koji?" Ross said and saw the same thing. "Hey Koji." Ross said as he ran to him.

"Koji." Gatomon said as she got down. Then he disappeared with his backpack hitting the ground.

"Oh no." Ross said as he picked it up.

"Ross." Gatomon said.

"Gatomon you saw that too." Ross said.

"Yeah what happened?" Gatomon said.

"I don't know. You get Musuko and I'll call the others." Ross said.

The Computer Lab

Mason, Natalie, and Benson were already in.

"Well nothing seems to be out of the ordinary." Natalie said and Musuko came through the door.

"Hey Musuko why did you run out of class like that?" Benson said.

"I had to check on Koji he hasn't been himself." Musuko said.

"Is he okay?" Mason said.

"Yeah, but he's not coming with us today." Musuko said and Gatomon came through the door.

"Gatomon what's wrong?" Natalie said.

"It's Koji, he's gone." Gatomon said.

….

Koji

Koji opened his eyes and saw he was at a beach where everything was dark.

"It happened again. I'm at the beach." Koji said as he looked around. "This has to be the most depressed beach ever. I got to find a way out of here."

…..

Ross

Ross waited for the others until they all arrived.

"Hey Ross we got your message what's wrong?" Tai said and Ross held up Koji's backpack.

"That's Koji's what happened?" Kari said.

"I don't know one second he was right here the next he was gone." Ross said.

"He must be in the digital world." Mason said.

"No that's not it." Musuko said.

"What do you mean where else he could be?" Natalie said.

"Koji is lost we need to get him." Mason said.

"I'm telling you he's not in the digital world." Musuko said.

"Guys listen if we go in the digital world without a trace of Koji we'll end up lost ourselves." Benson said.

"The beach, he's down there somewhere." Musuko said and ran down the beach. "Koji, Koji where are you?"

….

Koji

Koji was walking down the dark beach looking for a way out.

"There's not even a hot dog stand around here." Koji said and saw a cave. "Maybe that's the way out." Koji ran to it and when he looked in there was nothing and when he got in there were these fish creatures. "My brother showed me how to play soccer so I know how to kick."

"Please help us." One of them said.

….

The Beach

Musuko was ahead of the others looking for Koji.

"Koji where are you!?" Musuko said.

"Musuko Koji isn't here." Natalie said.

"Let's go to the digital world maybe we can find a trace of him." Mason said.

"I'm telling you he's not in the digital world. He's in another dimension he kept saying how these digimon kept taking him to the beach." Musuko said.

"Wait digimon taking Koji to the beach." Kari said.

"Oh no it couldn't be the Dark Ocean." T.K. said.

"What's the Dark Ocean?" Mason said.

"It is another dimension that got me one time and keeps coming after Kari." Ken said.

"Now it seems to have Koji, but why?" Ross said.

"Who cares I'm going to keep looking around here." Musuko said and took off.

"Musuko wait for me." Veemon said.

"Me too." Gatomon said.

Koji

"Please you must help us." One of the fish creatures said.

"Who are you guys? Are you digimon?" Koji said.

Digimon Analyzer (The creature's voice): I don't know if we're digimon, but we are Scubamon. We blend well when we swim in dark water.

"Koji please you must help us." A Scubamon said.

"What do you mean? What do you want from me?" Koji said.

"One day a group of humans came and attacked us. The creatures they had were powerful and we couldn't stop them." A Scubamon said.

"The digidestroyers." Koji said.

"Yes we were too weak and we've been in captivity." Another Scubamon said.

"What do you mean why don't you just leave they're not here anymore?" Koji said and heard a roar outside. When he checked it out there was an Airdramon.

"That creature holds us here." A Scubamon said.

"An Airdramon." Koji said.

Digimon Analyzer (Koji's voice): Airdramon is a champion digimon that shoots fireballs like any other dragon.

Airdramon shot a fireball and it hit the cave creating smoke with Koji coughing.

"Come on let's get out of here." Koji said and they all started running, but the Airdramon wouldn't let them escape.

"Koji please you must help us." A Scubamon said.

"But I can't do this on my own. I need you guys, Gatomon, Musuko." Koji said.

…..

Musuko.

"Koji!" Musuko shouted out with the others watching.

"It's official he's finally snapped." Natalie said.

"I always knew this day would come." Gatomon said and Veemon joined him.

"Koji!" They both said.

"They both lost it." Gatomon said.

"Musuko Koji isn't out here." Benson said.

"I guess you're right." Musuko said.

"Hey what's that?" Mason said. They saw a pink light in the sky and Musuko saw Koji.

"It's Koji." Musuko said and jumped for it.

"Musuko wait." Veemon said as he and Gatomon jumped after him and all three of them disappeared.

The Dark Ocean

They landed at the top of a cliff.

"Where are we?" Gatomon said.

"Hey there he is." Musuko said as Koji was running to him.

"Musuko am I ever glad to see you." Koji said and Musuko saw Airdramon.

"Show time Veemon." Musuko said.

"Let's do it." Veemon said.

"Digi-Armor Energize" Musuko said.

"Veemon armor digivolve to….Raidramon The Storm Of Friendship"

Musuko hoped on Raidramon ready to fight.

"Thunder Blast." Raidramon said, but missed and started running on the sand with Airdramon after him.

"Koji I have to help Raidramon." Gatomon said as she got down.

"But I don't have my D3." Koji said. Airdramon was still after Raidramon.

"He's gaining on us." Musuko said.

"Raidramon." Gatomon said as she jumped on him. "Raidramon see that black obelisk take it out. Then I can digivolve on my own. Trust me."

"Sounds crazy, but I'll do it." Raidramon said.

"Full power Raidramon." Musuko said.

"Thunder Blast." Raidramon said and took out the control spire. Then a pink light shined down and Gatomon jumped through it.

"Gatomon digivolve to…Angewomon"

"Angewomon." Koji said and Airdramon came at her.

"Blue Thunder." Raidramon said and blasted him.

"Heaven's Cross." Angewomon said and blasted him into data.

"Alright you guys are free now." Koji said and the Scubamon turned into their true forms.

"Yes thank you Koji." A Scubamon said.

"You tricked me." Koji said and one grabbed him.

"Let go of him." Musuko said as Raidramon raced to him.

"Now that you are here you will come with us." Scubamon said.

"Let me go." Koji said and Angewomon made sure he let go of him and Musuko got in front of Koji.

"What do you want with Koji?" Musuko said.

"We know he's the son of Kari and we want her as our queen." Scubamon said.

"You mean you were only using me to get to my Mom." Koji said.

"Yes and she will belong to our master." Scubamon said as they all went in the water.

"What a bunch of creeps." Musuko said.

"I'm ready to go home now." Koji said and Musuko placed his hand on him with Koji smiling.

The Real World

Angewomon took them both back to the real world and dedigivolved.

"Koji, Musuko." They turned and saw Kari. "Are you boys okay?"

"We're fine Mom since Musuko came and got me." Koji said. "Thanks by the way."

"No problem, but that Dark Ocean only wanted Koji to get to you Mom." Musuko said.

"So it's still after you." Her Gatomon said.

"They also mentioned a master so I don't think we've seen the last of it." Koji's Gatomon said.

The Dark Ocean

"I'm tired of waiting I want out." A giant creature coming out of the water said.

Ross's voice: Will the Dark Ocean make another attack to get to Kari and who is this master. You'll just have to keep watching Digimon Digital Monsters to find out.

AN: Sorry this one is so long.
