The school day came and went without any real incidents, outside of Kazu and Kenta getting yelled at for sleeping through class. Still, even though Takato was a little disappointed that the two of them haven't really taken the chance to catch up on sleep, he couldn't blame them, especially after what they just went through yesterday.

Anyway, after they were finally all let out of class, Takato and the others went over to the park to meet up with their Digimon before they finally went their separate ways to spend some quality time together. It even went double with Jeri, though, as both she and Palmon were still technically getting to know each other.

As for Takato himself, he decided to spend some time walking around with Guilmon by his side. However, he wasn't able to get too far before he suddenly noticed Henry walking towards him, Terriermon on his shoulder.

"Henry? What are you doing here?" he asked as soon as Henry got close enough to hear him.

"Hey, can I talk to you for a second? Privately?"

Takato, confused, looked towards Guilmon for a moment, thinking that Henry meant that he wanted to talk away from his partner. However, just as he was about to tell Henry that Guilmon could stay, Henry suddenly shook his head when he realized what Takato was trying to say.

"No, I meant away from everyone else around here!"

"Oh! Right." said Takato, looking around and realizing that there were quite a few people around.

The four of them soon began walking through the city, eventually coming upon an alley next to a restaurant, which Takato ended up having to pull Guilmon away from before the Digimon could go in and ransack the place.

"So…what's with the secrecy?" asked Takato, curious as he watched Henry scan through the alley to make sure no one was around.

"Seriously, Takato? Do you really think us talking in public about this kind of subject would be a good idea?" he asked, gesturing towards the two Digimon as he gave Takato a weird look.

"Hey, I was just wondering! Can't a guy be curious for some time in his life?"

Henry paused, about ready to argue Takato's point before he suddenly sighed.

"Sorry, Takato. I guess I've been a bit anxious recently."

"How so?"

Henry paused, watching for anyone listening in before he finally explained himself.

"You know, ever since we destroyed Vajramon last night, I've been thinking. We never actually found out how he was brought back to life, didn't we?"

Takato's eyes widened in surprise, as he suddenly realized that Henry was right.

"I didn't realize that! I guess we must have forgotten about it."

"Yeah, I did too. The battle was so intense that I imagine most anyone would have forgotten something important like we did."

"Okay, so…does this mean that you've found out how?" asked Takato, looking expectantly at Henry, only to see him shake his head.

"Terriermon and I were discussing all of the possible solutions that we could think of, but none of them really make any sense in the long run. I mean, we've seen firsthand that anytime a Digimon is destroyed in our world, they don't come back as a Digiegg. They're completely gone."

"Well, I imagine that's just because of one of us absorbing their data. What if no one does? What happens to it?" asked Takato.

"What does that have to do with anything? I'm pretty sure that it doesn't make a huge difference."

Takato was admittedly unsure of where he was going with this train of thought, either, but since he started it, he decided he was just going to roll with it and hope Henry understood.

"Think of it this way. Do you remember last night when we destroyed Vajramon, and we just let his data go?"

Henry nodded, clearly remembering what happened.

"Anyway, if data like that doesn't exactly have a place to go, like through wires, where does it go?"

Henry paused, trying to process what Takato said.

"Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"

"No, I'm not following. What you've just said sounded way too philosophical for me, and I take Tai Chi."

"Okay, that's fine. I wasn't expecting you to, anyway. Frankly, I didn't really know how to explain it myself."

"Then why did you even bother?" asked Henry, annoyed.

Takato simply shrugged, forcing Henry to groan in exasperation.

"Look Takato, I appreciate the input, but I think we should probably get everyone else together and figure it out as a group. Heck, maybe one of the other Digimon might have an idea."

"Wait…what if it has something to do with the Digital World?" asked Takato.

Henry was slightly baffled by Takato's sudden leap in logic, but he soon realized that Takato may be going somewhere. He paused for a moment, running different possible scenarios through his head before finally turning towards Takato.

"I'm impressed, Takato. Your massive leap in logic has somehow gotten us to the most plausible answer. The only problem, though, is what the Digital World has to do with Vajramon's resurrection."

Takato was pretty surprised that he somehow managed to land at the supposedly correct answer despite completely guessing at the answer, but he soon smiled when he realized that they were finally getting somewhere.

Takato paused as he considered what Henry asked, but he soon realized that he had absolutely no idea how the Digital World and Vajramon's resurrection tied together.

"You know, I think maybe it is a good idea to bring everyone else. Hopefully they'd have a better idea."

"Okay, that sounds good to me. Do you think we should just call everyone and get this over with?" asked Henry as he held up his phone.

"Nah, let's do it tomorrow. I think we all could really use some time to rest, especially after what we've just been through over the past week or so. Besides, this'll give some time to think about it."

"Can't argue with that. I'll let you know about the meeting later, alright?"

"Sure thing." said Takato, nodding.

Once their conversation was over, both Takato and Henry came back out into the busy street, heading their separate ways as they prepared to finally spend the day with their partners free from any outstanding obligations.


As Henry walked down the street, he felt Terriermon's weight leave his shoulder, only for it to suddenly appear on his head.

He looked up curiously at Terriermon as the bunny Digimon rested on top of Henry's head.

"Any reason for the change of position there, Terriermon?"

"Eh, no reason. Just wanted to lie down for a bit, and your head has so much more room."

"So when did my head suddenly become prime real estate?"

Terriermon simply shrugged, flopping down on Henry's head as Henry rolled his eyes, deciding to continue on before something else went wrong.

Soon enough, after a little bit more time spent walking, Terriermon soon grew bored, and he decided to strike up a bit of a conversation.

"So Henry, where are we headed? You seem like you have somewhere you need to go."

Henry looked up at Terriermon, only to realize that the Digimon's long ears were right in front of his face. Thankfully, Henry had quickly stopped moving a few seconds before he ended up running into something.

After brushing Terriermon's ears out of the way, he soon noticed that there was a man in a business suit in front of him, and he looked pretty harried.

After muttering a quick apology, Henry moved around the businessman before continuing on his way.

"Watch it with the ears, Terriermon. I almost ran into that guy because I couldn't see."

"Okay, fine. I'll make sure to keep them back."

As much as Henry wanted to go along with Terriermon's apology and let him continue to lounge up there, he really didn't want to risk the Digimon's ears coming down again, especially considering the amount of people that were on the streets, so he quickly gave his head a small shake forwards.

"Woah!"

Terriermon was definitely not expecting to be jostled by Henry, so the bunny Digimon quite easily rolled off of Henry's head. Thankfully, though, Henry managed to catch Terriermon in his arms, so he was largely unhurt.

"Hey, what was that for? I told you I was going to keep my ears back!"

"I know, Terriermon. There's just too many people out on the streets for me not to be able to see where I'm going. I promise next time we go out and the sidewalks are clear, you can ride up there. Okay?"

Terriermon pouted but he said nothing, leaving Henry to take it as a fact that he understood.

"And by the way, we're heading over to Rika's house."

"Really?"

Terriermon looked up at Henry, and the look on the Digimon's face made Henry really want to just drop him and leave him behind, but he held his ground.

"It's nothing like that! I just wanted to check up on her and see how her grandmother was doing."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about her! I hope she's doing alright." said Terriermon, looking slightly worried as he wondered whether the ordeal that she went through wasn't going to cause any lasting damage.

"Oh no, she's doing fine last I've heard. Rika told me this morning. Her mother's pretty freaked out about everything, though.

"Well, who wouldn't be when you're kidnapped by an 800 pound ox?"

"You knew his weight?" asked Henry, surprised.

"No, I'm just guessing! He did seem pretty heavy, though." said Terriermon, his voice trailing off as he spoke.

"Well, either way, I'm at least glad that we don't have to deal with him anymore."

"Yeah, but what about the others?" asked Terriermon, catching Henry off guard.

"What do you mean others?"

"You know, the Devas! What are the chances that now that we've seen Vajramon come back, that the others might come back as well?"

Terriermon had already turned his head to face forwards before he spoke that last sentence, so when he didn't hear an answer, he was slightly confused.

"Henry? You okay, buddy?"

Terriermon attempted to twist his head around to see what Henry was doing, but the shocked expression on his face made Terriermon realize that something was up.

"Henry?"
