The kids were on their way, running away from Seraphimon's castle, the trailmon speeding more and more, everyone holding on to something with all their might so they won't fall out.
Koji, who was on the side of the trailmon, holding onto his bandana was getting annoyed with the reckless trailmon.
"Hey, bud, can you possibly go any faster?'' Koji asked sarcastically.
"Sure thing, pal. Just hold onto your bandana."The duck trailmon said as he begun speeding even more.
"KOJI!" They all yelled annoyed at the warrior of light.
"What? I was being sarcastic!"He yelled back.
"Zoe, is everything ok back there?"Asked Takuya.
"We've all been better!"Said the blonde.
"One way is fun the other way we done. Said the trailmon.
Ahead of them they saw the road split in two.
"Man, there's two of 'em! Koji yelled.
"What?!" Yelled Takuya looking ahead.
"How can we tell the right way? Koji asked.
"I don't know. The trail is up to the rails. We on the right track now!"Said the trailmon.
"Well, at least it's a little bit smoother in here." Takuya said.
"May I have a word? I want you to give me Seraphimon's egg. I'll take care of it now." Bokomon said
I'm sorry, but I happen to know more about its special needs. He said as he gently took the egg away from the blonde and placed it safely inside his pink waist band.
"Special needs? Like what?" asked Zoe.
"No offence but I really don't wanna know what is happening in there." Said Nayna with a cringe.
"Hold on guys, it's getting' rough again!" Takuya called as everyone tried to hang on to the seats.
Suddenly, the road was very smooth, to everyone's surprise but the surprise changed into terrified screams as the trailmon was falling out of a waterfall.
"I always say one good track deserves another." Trailmon chuckled as we landed safely on the track that was below. "End of the line and all is fine." Trailmon chuckled as he stopped and let all off then backed up out of the cave.
"That's pretty scary. He's gotta go backwards all the way home." Tommy said watching him go.
"Not our problem. We gotta go before rock head and his party gets here." Said Nayna turning to the tunnel behind them.
The others nodded and took off running as soon as she did.
"Hey everybody, there's an opening up ahead!" Takuya said as he saw a blue light.
"Let's just hope it takes us outside" Koji said.
They were getting excited as they got to the mouth of the cave but it all went away when they saw that before them was just another cavern, bigger than the one they came through.
"This doesn't look like outside to me. Does this look like outside to you?" JP asked.
"Well, duh, it's an underground cavern." Said Zoe, her voice echoing through the entire cavern.
"Where's the exit?"Takuya asked.
"Must be one somewhere." Koji said as he and Takuya ran off down to the lower floor, the others following suit.
"Unless you guys wanna swim." Nayna said looking at the water.
"Meaning?" Asked Koji as he looked over at her.
"If there's water in here, then there has to be an opening down below the lake. How else would there be?" She asked rhetorically.
Suddenly a blast of water pushed Tommy into JP, the two boys being slammed into the cavern wall.
"TOMMY!" They all yelled.
All of them gathered around the two drenched Warriors, worried about them.
"JP I don't feel so good." Tommy whimpered.
"Oh geez. Are you okay little guy?" JP asked the boy in his lap." Hey wait why didn't anyone call out my name?" he asked.
"Mama Mia!" Zoe gasped at the water that rose up.
"Definitely…"Takuya began.
"Not good." Koji finished.
The water soon settled down and revealed a whale digimon
"What's Whamon doing down here? He's normally in the ocean." Bokomon said as Neemon fell over in shock.
"Whamon?" Zoe asked looking at the whale.
"He's a whale digimon and he seems to be out of his element." Bokomon said softly.
"I can't stand it anymore! You hear me? I can't stand it!" Whamon cried splashing around.
"He's normally a calm digimon. Something must be upsetting him." Bokomon explained.
"I wanna go home! I wanna go home! I wanna go home!" Whamon screamed out.
"We gotta stop him." Koji said.
"Um, all right. I'm ready to go when you are." Takuya agreed.
"Seems like Nayna got ahead..".Said Zoe looking towards the other girl who went closer to the digimon.
"What is she doing?" Asked Takuya
Nayna put her palm on the creatures snot.
"Calm down. We'll get you out of here, but you need to stay calm otherwise you'll lose the rest of the water you have left." She said calmly, thing that calmed the digimon too.
"Wow…" said Tommy in awe
"You said it…" Said Takuya.
"You seem to be feeling a lot better Whamon. Can you tell us why you were upset?" Zoe asked with a smile.
"I hate this place… I just want to go home back in the ocean! Until recently, I was swimming happy and free under the sea, not a care in the world. Then, one day, I saw this delicious looking glowing plants. I could not help myself. I decided to take a little nibble...Oh, they were good...But then the ground shook and I was sucked into the depths...Next thing I knew, I was stuck in this place and it's driving me crazy! he cried.
"Here we go again." Agunimon sighed rolling his eyes.
"You don't have to be such a big cry baby about it. Lobomon muttered.
"Not helping, Koji." She said annoyed patting the digimon." It's ok, big guy, we'll get you out of here…"
"And how we're going to do that?" He said annoyed.
Nayna turned towards him annoyed.
"Oh, Shut up, will ya'? We'll find a way, but clearly the plan won't come out of that empty head of yours." She said coldly why everyone gasped and looked surprised at the two.
"Oh really, miss know-it-all? Then it's clear that you have a plan. Please, enlighten us." He said frowning.
"It's your job to enlighten things. My job is to tell and explain." She said mockingly then turned serious to the others. "We'll have to search the wall the walls to see which is the thinnest or where is the strongest smell of salt."
"Why the salt?"
"We are under the ocean, why do you think?" She said going towards a wall and everyone followed her and started searching.
As they were searching, Koji and Takuya were close to each other.
"That girl is really awesome. Said Takuya grinning. She washed the floor with you in the worst way possible…And I never thought that there was someone worst in words than you."
"Shut up…"Said Koji annoyed turning away from him, hiding his blush.
Bokomon and Neemon stayed by Whamon as the others searched, the whale digimon kept on crying and mumbling
"He sure is losing a lot of water. Is that normal?" Neemon asked.
"No idea." Bokomon said.
"This is really embarrassing. Does he really think all this blubbering is going to help him- Gah!" JP hissed in pain and flinched as pain rushed through his stomach.
"Hey, are you OK JP?" asked Tommy.
"I'll be fine once I get this pain to go away." JP said.
"And…a-and it's all my fault you guys got hurt! I'm so sorry!" Whamon cried.
"You're forgiven all right?" JP growled, annoyed by the pain and the digimon's whining.
"Well at least you have some company now. We're stuck here too. Maybe with your help we can find a way out of here too." Zoe said.
"Huh, OK." Whamon grinned getting over his sadness before crying out in pain as the water suddenly disappeared.
"What is happening?" Lobomon asked.
"WHAMON!" everyone cried out.
"Now that is not normal." Bokomon said.
From the hole that took out all the water, Grumblemon appeared with a smirk on his face.
"Found you! he sang. So good to see you again only this time I get Spirits."
"You're an annoying little gnome you know that?" Lobomon hissed.
"Yeah, what he said. Oh and by the way; you're not stealing anything from anyone ever again we're not afraid of you anymore, Grumblemon." Agunimon growled.
"You guys really need to learn how to threaten someone…" said Nayna unimpressed by their words.
"Nanananananana Grumblemon. You will be." Grumblemon mocked them as he held up a small vial before opening it and throwing the liquid out over the rocks. Then the rocks came together to form into a small group of Golemon.
"You may have taken Grumblemon's Beast Spirit but, Grumblemon still have powers. Your Spirits mine." Laughed the gnome. "Get them!" He ordered.
"Let's turn these rocks into pebbles!" Agunimon said as he and Lobomon started to attack the Golemon destroying them.
"Um excuse me, gentlemen, we could use some assistance over here." Bokomon yelled as he and Neemon got cornered by Golemon.
"Be right there!" Agunimon called.
"On the way!" Lobomon said.
But before they could reach them, two arms grabbed them by the neck pulling them closer to Arbormon who then started punching them with his elongated hands until their fractal code started to appear.
Meanwhile, the rest of the group were surrounded by Golemons, neither of the kids able to evolve.
Nayna started to look around for a way to help everyone but the moment her eyes fell on the warriors of fire and light kneeling with their codes showing, she jumped towards them.
In mid air, she grabbed the ropes that were attached to the hands, she surged in the air, high above the others. Still holding the ropes the turned her body creating a loop in the ropes, she passed through it then pulled before landing, knotting the hands together.
"Ey, this is not fair. You were not part of the dance." Said Arbormon retracting his hands until it reached the knot.
"Life's not fair, deal with it." Said the white-haired straightening her pose, her fiery eyes staring at the wooden robot digimon.
"Nice move…" Said Agunimon getting up as his fractal code disappeared.
"You guys ok?" She asked without taking her eyes off the enemy.
"Yeah…" Said Lobpmon preparing to attack again. "We got it from here, go back to the others" He said activating his lobo kendo.
She remained on her position for a few more moments then ran to the others, JP and Tommy trying to keep the Golemons away from Zoe and their two digimon companions.
"I'm tired of playing with you. I'm gonna make you pay for what you've done!" Beetlemon cried as he jumped to attack.
"You're kidding, right?" the Grumblemon as the Golemon on which the gnome was standing on sent an attack at the warrior of thunder.
Beetlemon hit the ground hard, his fractal code appeared and he turned back to JP.
Nayna ran in front of him to protect him from any next attack the evil digimon would send.
"Nayna, what are you doing? Get out of here!" Said JP clutching his stomach in pain.
"I am doing what you are. Protecting my friends." She said, her bloody gaze fixed on the rock digimon and the evil legendary warrior.
Suddenly she heard the shriek of swirling data. Looking over, she saw Arbormon changed into a giant wooden lizard. She gritted her teeth as she pondered her next move.
Seeing her distracted, Grumblemon jumped with his hammer, ready to strike JP, being too late for anyone to act.
Out of nowhere, Whamon appeared blasting a water jet at the gnome sending him in a wall.
"No way!" Tommy said.
"Whamon." JP said but something sparkled blue around him as a blue tank like totem presented itself.
"I don't believe it. A Beast Spirit." JP gasped as he stared at it in awe.
"No fair. That Spirit mine!" Grumblemon said as he pulled himself off the wall.
"Oh, so that's what it was. It did taste a little gamey for a plant." Whamon said.
"Too bad that Spirit is mine, mine, mine, mine!" Grumblemon yelled as he went after it.
"Not today. It's my turn to play!" JP said as he pulled out his D-tector taking the totem.
As soon as the totem was sucked into the device, JP digivolved.
"Motto bene. JP turned into him?" Zoe asked looking at the metal digimon before them.
MetalKabuterimon went wild as he started blasting his attack around the cave.
"He's completely out of control! Head for cover." Lobomon yelled.
"Right behind ya!" Agunimon said.
"Don't be hasty now friend." Grumblemon whimpered as he backed away when he saw Petaldramon get covered by the boulders falling around.
"You're no friend of mine, Grumblemon!" MetalKabuterimon said as his eyes glowed green. "You don't even understand the meaning of friendship." He said as he bent down as his cannon got ready to fire off at Grumblemon and destroyed the last Golemon while the Warrior of Earth's Fractal Code was now showing his Spirit totem along with Zoe's. JP took the Spirit of Earth as the digi egg went off and the Spirit of Wind finally returned to Zoe.
"Hey, welcome back." She greeted it.
JP turned back to normal, falling down exhausted and in pain.
"JP! JP, are you all right?" Asked Zoe running to him.
"Got your Spirit back. At least I did something to make you happy." He said with a small smile as Zoe smiled softly at him.
"That's so sweet. Thank you JP, I really mean it." She said.
"Yay, J!" Tommy cheered with Neemon and Bokomon.
"Sorry to break your little party, but the situation isn't exactly bright… And it's gonna be worse." Said Nayna looking at the ground as it started to quake.
Hearing Takuya's scream, they looked ahead and saw him and Koji running their way. Behind them, the ceiling turned to data and disappeared, letting the water pour in like a mad waterfall sweeping everyone under its waves everything going dark.
"Did we die?" Tommy asked.
"I hope not, I don't want to spend my afterlife forever with Koji." Said Nayna monotonously.
"Hey." Barked Koji back.
"Uh, I don't think we're dead." Zoe said as light was shown ahead of them.
"It smells like something did. P.U.!" JP said.
They all gasped as the wall before them opened up revealing that they were in Whamon's mouth.
"It's the ocean." Tommy gasped.
"It's Whamon!" They said happily.
"I don't know how you saved us, but thank you." Bokomon said.
"Yeah and welcome home, Whamon." Zoe said.
"Oh, I'm the one who should be thanking you. Without your help, I might have been stuck in that cave forever. Hold on everybody, we should be reaching the island very soon." Whamon said.
"Island?" Takuya wondered looking ahead and saw a patch of land that they were approaching.
Wow, it took way longer to finish this chapter than I thought. Sorry for the delay. I hope you enjoyed it and please leave a review
