Chapter 29
Relationships are tested
Yukito, Robert, Penguinmon and Tentomon continued their trek through the digital world on their own. Neither one had a clue of where they were going both had to admit; at least they weren't in the desert any more. The four managed to get themselves near a rocky mountain, sure fine sign that they were lost.
"Robert, we need to rest. I'm not even sure if Penguinmon or Tentomon can move any further. You've just been forcing yourself, thinking that you need to keep moving. I know you're exhausted, I see it in your eye," Yukito said concerned watching Penguinmon and Tentomon weave as they walked.
"I agree, but we need to keep going just a little further," Robert replied his voice hoarse.
"Robert, you know I love you, but seriously, you haven't rested at all. You have been on your feet every second, even when we were resting, you were still pacing. I'm pretty sure the sun probably friend your brain. So please, just a ten minute break and we'll keep going okay?" Yukito instructed his hands upon Robert's shoulders causing him to stop moving and face him.
"I don't know how you do it, but all right, we'll rest. Fair enough?"
"Very, thank you."
Yukito kissed Robert's cheek before sitting on a nearby rock. Penguinmon collapsed on the ground exhausted while Tentomon sat down letting out a sigh of relief.
Robert started to get anxious all of a sudden, as if he couldn't get comfy. He had only just sat down and already he couldn't stop fidgeting.
Yukito noticed this and stared at him concerned, they were inches from each other. Yukito had seen this multiple times before with Robert. Robert was a mover, even if it killed him in the process.
"Robert, just calm down and breathe. There is no sense in getting all fidgety over nothing. I promise you, we'll keep moving," Yukito assured. "Besides, what's going on with you lately?" "I just can't believe that we haven't seen Gennai in a long time."
"Is that what you're truly worried about?" Yukito asked stunned.
"Well…I…"
"Robert, we haven't heard from him since our departure for this land. Do you truly believe that he'll just show up now?" Yukito asked seriously.
"There wouldn't be any harm in looking would there?"
"Tentomon, Penguinmon, help me out here. Tell Robert that the search would be pointless and our main concern is to find the others," Yukito pleaded desperately.
"Tried, he refuses to listen to reason," Tentomon answered solemnly.
"I highly doubt he'll listen to me," Penguinmon replied.
"Robert, come here. Lean on my shoulder and relax," ordered Yukito wrapping his arm around his shoulder.
"You've always been so good to me Yukito. What would I truly do without you?" Robert wondered resting his head on Yukito's shoulder.
"No idea. I think you would go insane," laughed Yukito.
"Aw, sweet love. Completely disgusting. Too bad it's not going to last long," thought DemiDevimon. He was standing high above the boys watching their every move careful not to be caught. He had a new plan formulating inside his tiny brain. He knew who was up in these mountains and how to use this to his advantage.
Ten minutes seemed to just fly by with the boys; the digimon seemed to be well rested as well. Getting to their feet the four continued their trek up the rocky path. Neither one was sure what to expect in this barren area, but it was worth the chance to check it out.
DemiDevimon flew down to a near by clutter of rocks away from the group and hid from site waiting for the right moment.
"Does anyone else have that odd feeling that we're not alone on this mountain?" Tentomon asked uneasy.
"Are you feeling all right up there Tento?" Penguinmon asked, looking up.
"I have this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach that we are not alone."
"You're not sharing the same alien theory as Robert are you?"
"What? You don't like the alien theory?" Robert joked.
"Don't even go there," warned Yukito.
"Stop fighting and keep moving. The sooner we get to the top the better," Penguinmon snapped.
"He gets that from you," Robert teased.
As the boys joked about their digimon, a rumbling could be felt underneath their feet engulfing Penguinmon first followed by Yukito leaving Robert and Tentomon to stare in shock.
"What…just happened?" Robert stuttered seeing the now closed hole.
"I wish I knew. Oh bios, where did they go?"
Meanwhile, Yukito and Penguinmon fell down the dark space, screaming as they saw their impending doom. How could they actually fall for something like this? This couldn't be the end already, could it?
"Penguinmon, help!" screamed Yukito feeling his heart just race with fear.
"Yukito, hold on!" shouted Penguinmon. 'I wish I could help somehow. Tentomon I need your ability to fly,' Penguinmon thought desperately as he tried and failed to grab Yukito's outstretching hand.
Further and further the two plummeted to their own unknown deaths. Yukito mentally pleaded and begged for his survival along with Penguinmon's. He had too much to live for, not to mention, there was still so much for him to discover here.
"HELP!" screamed Yukito as the two disappeared further.
Within seconds the boys were saved by an invisible force. Around Penguinmon's waist was a blow up life saver. Underneath Yukito was a large beach ball. Yukito held on to dear life worried one wrong move could cause him to fall.
"Who the? Penguinmon what's going on?" Yukito asked.
"I wish I knew, but I have no clue."
"Very well, if your not going to be very appreciative for my assistance than I shall dispose of those keeping you suspended in the air," a voice came through the dark space.
"No, I didn't mean it that way. We weren't expecting someone to be here," Yukito quickly replied his heart racing with anticipation. "Thank you though."
"Well, since you're thankful," the voice mused.
Yukito felt his jaw drop at the sight of the figure. Out of all the digimon they had seen since arriving, this one definitely took the cake for weirdness. It appeared to be an alien with eight tentacles and a massive brain.
'Something tells me I'm going to owe Robert a massive apology.' Yukito thought.
"Meet Vademon was living proof you should stay away from digimon with usually large heads. That big brain of his was scrambled if you asked me," Penguinmon analyzed.
"If you don't mind me asking, where are we?" Penguinmon asked.
"My personally designed universe, if you must know."
"How do we get back to the mountain?" Yukito asked.
"Such a dull boy for asking so much. What is your rush to leave this place?"
"We need to get back to our friend," Yukito replied with urgency in his voice.
"A friend, hmm. Is this friend perhaps that boy you were with?" Vademon simpered.
"Yes, he must be worried sick."
"Do not worry dear boy. Wait right here and I'll bring him to you."
"What? No, wait!" Yukito cried out watching Vademon leave. Without warning, the beach ball popped causing Yukito to fall back to the black pit.
"Penguinmon, help!" screamed Yukito desperately searching for a hand.
Penguinmon dived for Yukito doing his best to catch him, if what Vademon said was true, Penguinmon knew Yukito would want to see Robert.
Outside, Tentomon was flying in a circle trying to locate Yukito or Penguinmon. It was a last desperation to make Robert feel calmer. He had been searching for ten minutes and still nothing. He felt completely defeated, which made him feel upset.
"Any sign Tento?" Robert called out.
"Still nothing, Robert, I don't think they're even around here anymore."
"They have to be, his dot is still strong."
Tentomon landed next to Robert who was getting edgy refusing to sit still for too long.
"Robert, you need to relax and take a deep breath. We will find them I assure you on that. You freaking out is not helping matters."
Robert looked at Tentomon with sad eyes. He wished he could believe his digimon. Oh how he wished that things could go back to the way they were. It is not like Yukito to up and leave, even if the ground had suddenly opened up, swallowing the two. It just made no sense as to why the dot would be so strong in this particular area.
"Perhaps you are right. I need to trust that Yukito is all right."
"There's the Robert I know."
As Robert stood up from his spot, the ground once again opened up underneath him sucking both him and Tentomon into the same unknown area as Yukito and Penguinmon.
"Tentomon!"
"Robert, I'm right here!" cried out Tentomon attempting to reach for Robert's outstretched hand.
Tentomon grabbed hold of Robert's hand giving momentary sense of safety. Robert's heart was pounding wildly as he held on to Tentomon's claws allowing him a peace of mind.
"Are you all right Robert?" Tentomon asked.
"Yeah…yeah, I'm all right," Robert gasped refusing to look down.
"Where are we?" Tentomon asked looking around."
"My guess is another dimension. That or something Yumi would think up."
"Robert, I'm not able to hold on any longer."
"Tentomon, don't let me fall!"
Robert could feel his hand slip with all the sweat building up. He feared the worst with each slip that was being made. Robert looked horrified at Tentomon silently telling him to hold on tighter.
"NO!" screamed Robert when his hand completely lost grip with Tentomon.
"ROBERT!"
Tentomon flew down into the dark abyss determined to save his partner, what he never expected was something to save both of them. For Robert, he was riding what appeared to be a giant size rubber ducky. Tentomon was in a life preserver just like Penguinmon.
"That was a close call. But who rescued us?"
"I did, my name is Vademon," replied a voice inside an orb. He sat in a meditative position as he looked at them.
"Where are we?"
"Questions, questions, questions. A boy already asked that question, but if you wish to know. This is my universe."
"Wait? Another boy? That means that Yukito is here. Where is he?" questioned Robert looking around half expecting to see Yukito.
"Oh that other boy? He told me that he never wanted to see you again," Vademon lied.
"No, that's not true. Yukito would never say that."
"He told me himself. Although, I told him that it would be wise to stay with the ones he loves."
"Not true, Yukito doesn't like to being fully left on his own from me. How could he possible say that?"
"Come now, you mustn't let those memories cloud your mind. I don't appreciate those things to cloud my universe."
"I don't get it. Yukito and I have always been so close, what could possibly have changed?"
"You don't seem to get it do you? There is no space in here for your doubts or worries."
"But I'm…"
"There you go again. You don't even know your doing it. If you're going to keep it up, then I suppose you could spend your time in the black void," Vademon sniped popping the rubber ducky causing Robert to fall to his doom.
"Tentomon, help!"
"Robert hold on!"
Tentomon rushed after him hoping that he would have enough time to get him to safety. Robert's heart raced with anxiety as he grasped onto Tentomon's claw.
"Will you give up your memories or will both of you suffer the consequences?"
"I can't go without my memories."
"So be it."
Both Tentomon and Robert fell toward the endless black put screaming with terror.
"I don't want to die. I don't need my memories!"
"Excellent."
Moments passed when Robert and Tentomon came to another section of the universe truly looking like space. Stars, planets and asteroids surrounded the two when things came to a stand still.
"Now where are we?"
Silence.
"Robert? Earth to Robert?" Tentomon asked uneasy.
"Welcome, your memory is in this sack. You don't need it any more, and I don't want it messing up my universe. I just hate having clutter. If it's not needed I zap it," Vademon commented. He took out his gun zapping the sac of Robert's memories.
"Robert, you can't let that creep take what is so precious from you," Tentomon argued.
"Back off you pest," Vademon snapped zapping Tentomon with the gun. "Now that that's done, I want you to read my latest book: It's all you need to know."
"All you need to know whether you like it not," Robert muttered absentmindedly. "In order to be one with the universe, one must erase all thoughts."
"But your thoughts are something you cherish, especially with Yukito."
"It is important to breathe into your thoughts until they disintegrate and slowly turn into mush. The less you think about the happier you'll be."
"And the more miserable Yukito and Penguinmon will become.
Vademon chortled wickedly as he entered a room filled with shelves containing containers filled with various objects and random artefacts.
"That'll keep those two brats under control. Speaking of which, let's see how the other one is doing."
Yukito floated in the space worry and concern filling him. He desperately wanted to see Robert so bad. How long did it take for the alien freak to bring him here?
"Yukito, you have to snap out of it," Penguinmon said worriedly.
"I'm so worried about Robert. I don't care if it's only been a few minutes since we last saw each other, but to me it feels like longer. It's so different when we're in the human world, were always so close, we know where the other one is. When we're together, it's hard to split apart," Yukito admitted.
"Well, when Vademon comes back, we can ask if he has them and if we can see them," Penguinmon assured.
"I suppose."
"Ah, right where I left you, good," Vademon said.
"Where's Robert and Tentomon?" demanded Yukito getting out of his sulky depressed state.
"Oh, those two. I'm afraid that your friend Robert said he no longer wants to see you," lied Vademon.
"What? No, that can't be true. Robert would never say that."
"It's true. He's getting sick and tired with dealing with an emotional clingy boy such as you."
"He wouldn't say that about me, he wouldn't."
"See for yourself and tell me what is going on."
Vademon waved his hand revealing a portal connecting Yukito to Robert. Yukito floated through it followed by Penguinmon leaving a smirking Vademon.
Robert currently was moving his body in weird shapes, all relating to the alphabet. He easily bent his body to each letter as she spoke each one.
Tentomon flew around him concerned that he wasn't in any rush to find Yukito or Penguinmon. Maybe those two could snap him out, wherever they might be. He was getting concerned about Penguinmon himself, trying to understand what exactly was going on and if he was all right.
Yukito floated through the strange place desperately searching for his presence, and then he would not have to worry so much.
"Yukito, wait for me," cried out a desperate Penguinmon.
"That voice…it sounds like…it is! Yukito! Penguinmon! Over here!" cried out Tentomon.
Yukito could feel a sigh of relief come over him knowing he found at least Tentomon, Robert couldn't be that far behind. Floating ever closer to Tentomon, Yukito's smiles grew on his face.
"Tentomon, where's Robert?"
"Somewhere, I have to warn you though. He's not himself," cautioned Tentomon.
"What do you…?"
"TENTOMON!" shrieked Penguinmon reaching them. He wrapped his flippers around Tentomon happily.
"So good to see you too."
Yukito turned his head when he heard the faint voice of Robert in the distance. It sounded odd in Yukito's ears hearing his voice.
"Q…R…S…"
"Robert?"
Yukito went to investigate the situation while the digimon got reacquainted again.
Meanwhile, Vademon was back in his little shop chortling once again as he admired all his little collections he required over the years.
"I've got a warehouse filled with memories and other cast away items and all of them are for sale. There's always somebody who wants to buy junk and I know the salesman who can give them a bargain," Vademon snickered. "Vademon dreams and memories salesman extraordinaire," he gloated. "A penny for your thoughts and a nickel for your fears."
As he was still in daydream mode, the sound of a doorbell snapped him out of his trance.
"Haha, that was quick. Coming, coming!"
DemiDevimon hovered in front of a post with a doorbell on it, waiting 'patiently' for Vademon to answer. A little patch of the ground began to move revealing Vademon coming out.
"Welcome, have I got a bargain for you," Vademon simpered scaring the crap out of DemiDevimon.
"I hope so."
"I'm running a sale right now. Dreams and curiosities at a bottom line prices, I'm telling you they're a steal."
"Whoa. Did anyone in this picture happen to tumble into your universe?" DemiDevimon asked holding a picture of Yukito and Robert talking while Penguinmon and Tentomon were resting.
"Why yes they did."
"Perfect."
"You must be in the market for memories, I'll fetch them for you," Vademon said disappearing back down the whole. DemiDevimon looked down curiously wondering what the digimon was doing. In no time, he was back up with Robert's memories.
"They're very fresh. If you're looking for brain garbage, this is the place."
"I'm looking for something else," snapped DemiDevimon. Vademon was not looking thrilled at his response.
"Don't try to give me a hard time or I'll get mad," warned Vademon.
DemiDevimon took out another picture of Robert holding his crest. "I want this. The kid in the picture was carrying a tag and a crest with him."
Vademon narrowed his eyes and turned away from DemiDevimon. "That's something I ordinarily don't carry, it's a very expensive item."
"Hmm, how about I trade you him for some of my curiosity," DemiDevimon grinned playing to Vademon's game.
"Hmm? He must have a mountain of curious thoughts," thought Vademon excitedly. He couldn't help but drool over it.
"So what do you say Vademon, is it a deal or not?" DemiDevimon asked.
"It certainly is. I can tell just by looking at you that you are a wacky digimon with enough thoughts to make me a fortune."
Vademon once again disappeared down the hole leaving DemiDevimon alone on the mountain.
Back in the universe, Robert was still moving his body in the alphabet, while Yukito desperately trued to snap him out of it.
"Robert! Can you hear me? Please answer me!" Yukito pleaded.
"Leave me alone, I'm meditating," snapped Robert still in his trance.
"Robert, please. You're not thinking clearly."
"I'm thinking perfectly well. I don't need you to interfere with my thoughts."
"What has gotten into you? Don't you remember me?"
"Leave me alone!"
"Robert!"
Seconds passed when Vademon decided to make another appearance in the same bubble. Robert sensed this and bowed to him in respect. Yukito was overly confused what had that freak down to him? He was thankful though that Tentomon was still in a normal state.
"There's something I forgot to mention to you."
"Oh yes, and what's that?"
"In order to fully improve you must throw away possessions that are considered excess garbage."
"Such as?"
"Just about everything except your clothes."
"Of course," said Robert taking things out of his pockets and releasing them to the space. He soon came to his crest and stared at it. "This is expendable."
Vademon laughed as Robert carelessly threw it into the space where the crest floated toward Vademon.
"As for you boy, you have two options, willingly give up all that you possess or I will forcibly remove them myself."
"You are not getting anywhere near my belongings, especially my crest."
"Very well, you leave me no choice then," Vademon used his guns and zapped Yukito willing him immobile. Vademon took the crest from him. "See, now that wasn't so hard, now was it?"
Yukito slowly began to move again with slight problems as the effects of the gun wore off.
"Ugh. Bastard…how dare you…you are not getting away with this," gasped Yukito as the pain continued to shoot through his system.
"Apparently I already did," laughed Vademon as he disappeared.
"Robert, what were you thinking?" demanded Tentomon.
"Leave me alone."
Back on the surface Vademon returned with both crests to DemiDevimon. Once again DemiDevimon was startled out of his wits at Vademon popping up. "So sorry to keep you waiting."
"Yeah, all right. Give me the goods."
"Wait, don't you remember the deal that we made? I want a piece of your brain!"
"I'm going to crank out some of my thoughts," DemiDevimon landed on the ground, his back to Vademon concentrating. "I'm trying, but it's hard to get them out of my head."
"Hurry up!"
"They're stuck."
"I'll help," Vademon said angrily kicking DemiDevimon causing his to go flying toward the rocks.
Back in the weird dimension, Yukito continued to plead with Robert hoping something would knock some sense into him. With the boys completely distracted it was causing the digimon to feel the affect of it all.
"I…I feel so weak," both digimon sighed weakly.
"Yukito, I need you," called out a tired Penguinmon.
"Robert, don't do this to me. You are the love of my life. I'm begging you," Yukito's desperate voice called uselessly.
"M…N…O…P." Robert was no longer listening to those around him.
"I…I can't hold on much longer," Tentomon gasped degenerating back to Motimon. "Motimon."
"Oh no, Motimon! Yukito! Robert! Snap out of it!" cried Penguinmon also feeling the effects of degenerating back to Tsunomon.
"Huh?" Robert wondered seeing the two in-training digimon. Yukito turned his head as well shocked filling his entire system.
"Their energy, it's being drained," realized Yukito. In seconds both returned to their baby forms.
"Pabu, Pabu," the little Pabumon whimpered.
"Puni, Puni," the little red blob Punimon whimpered.
"What have we done?" Yukito whispered.
"Pabumon?" questioned Robert relatively snapping him out of it. "What did I tell you about interrupting me when I'm meditating?"
"Robert, have you forgotten who I am already, Robert? Have you forgotten who you are?" Pabumon cried sending bubbles toward Robert. Each bubble held a memory inside each one.
"Robert, you've made me the happiest guy on the planet to have you. Thank you very much for being with me," Yukito's voice sounded.
"I don't know what I'd possibly do without you."
"We need to stick together no matter the cost."
Robert watched all of the memories go by and hearing those he loved and cared about go with them. Without warning, all of the bubbles began to pop causing Robert to reach out.
"No, stop. Don't leave."
"Robert, please don't forget," Yukito whispered holding on to Punimon, a look of sadness on his face.
"Pabumon, Yukito, I am so sorry for everything that has happened. I'm sorry," Robert apologized picking up Pabumon and hugging him.
"Just really glad to have you back Robert," Yukito said wrapping his one arm around Robert squeezing his shoulders."
Sounds of arguing could be heard in the distance, one belonging to Vademon the other to DemiDevimon.
"You lied, your nothing more than a weaselmon," shouted Vademon.
"Don't get bent out of shape. Give me a break, I'm going to get into big trouble," DemiDevimon argued.
"It is not my concern you pesky pipsqueak," Vademon replied uncaring.
Robert and Yukito raised their eyebrows with wondering eyes as a door soon appeared. Going closer the two looked through the glass window to see where the noise was coming from.
"Now beat it pal," yelled Vademon kicking
"Oh come on, Myotismon is going to kill me if I don't return with the crests."
"You've got yourself into this, you can get yourself out."
"Please I'm begging you, he's a big brute."
"Back off," Vademon sneered kicking DemiDevimon toward the shelves.
"Oh god, ever since I've lost my memories I haven't been looking on the brighter side."
"Well, we have bigger problems that," Yukito mumbled.
"You don't say," scoffed Robert.
"We need to get out of here. We'll figure out a plan on the way."
"But Vademon…" pleaded DemiDevimon.
"Get out!" yelled Vademon.
"Forget it!" DemiDevimon sneered right in Vademon's face.
"It's mine," Vademon announced.
"No it's not," argued back DemiDevimon.
"You want a bet?"
While the two digimon were arguing like little children, Robert, Yukito, Punimon and Pabumon snuck out of the universe to the little store. Punimon and Pabumon went bounding toward the end of the shelves toward the arguing digimon, completely ignoring their partners.
"Pabumon, come back."
"Punimon, get over here."
"Hey, they stole the tag and crest," Vademon said.
Pabumon and Punimon came bounding back with the crest in their mouths heading toward Yukito and Robert. DemiDevimon and Vademon ran after them yelling at the digimon. Yukito and Robert were standing at the door leading into the universe.
"Pabumon, Punimon over here!" both boys waved toward the two digimon.
Once the small digimon got to their partners, the two ran back into the room and hid while Vademon and DemiDevimon ran past them.
"Look out!" DemiDevimon shouted as the two skidded to a halt.
Turning back around, they could see Robert and Yukito on the other side a smirk on their faces as Yukito shut the door on them.
"Hurry!"
After locking it, the boys felt a little more relief wash over them knowing that they were safe on the one side. Robert and Yukito both looked at their crests with smiles on their faces.
"That was an awesome job Pabumon."
"You're a quick on Punimon."
As the boys placed the crests on their necks, Punimon and Pabumon were bouncing up and down trying to get their attention.
"You want us to follow you?"
"Pabu, Pabu!"
"Puni, Puni!"
As the boys ran away from the door, Vademon and DemiDevimon were yelling at the departing boys.
Robert and Yukito ran down toward the fourth set of shelves where Punimon and Pabumon were sitting waiting for them with a blue orb.
"Amazing, you found my memories. It was a mistake to ever give this up."
"Your memories are the greatest things for you to possess, and I'm glad that I'm apart of it," Yukito smiled.
"Well, it's time for it to become part of me again. I going to have to concentrate, hope this works."
While Robert held the orb close to himself, banging on the door could be heard as Vademon and DemiDevimon tried to force their way through.
"Come back to me my memories," Robert said.
As soon as the orb was back inside Robert, Vademon skidded to a halt with the gun in his hand.
"Ha, now you're going to pay for this."
"Run! Run!" yelled Yukito taking hold of Robert's hand and dragged him down the aisle as Vademon shot at them. Each turn that the boys made, Vademon was always behind them.
The door to the universe was right before them, allow them some safety, but also put them at risk of never escaping the place again.
"Robert!" Yukito screamed as the blast neared the boys once again.
The four ran into the universe again, their body immediately becoming weightlessness. Turning around to face their digimon the boys cried out desperately.
"Pabumon, it's time for you to digivolve!"
"Punimon hurry!"
The fresh level digimon quickly digivolved into their in-training levels. "Motimon."
"Tsunomon."
Yukito looked over at doorway to see that Vademon and DemiDevimon entered the universe. Yukito snapped his head back over to Robert in shock.
"Guys! Digivolve!"
Motimon and Tsunomon quickly digivolved into their rookie forms. It didn't help that Vademon was not giving up the attacks. Yukito's eyes narrowed at him in frustration.
"What are we going to do?" Robert asked.
"Just surrender, you can't defeat us," DemiDevimon mocked.
Yukito let out a little growl of annoyance at the little bowling ball. It was bad enough he was ready to finish off the two digimon once and for all.
In all the anger, Yukito and Robert's digivices went off again causing Tentomon and Penguinmon to digivolve once again into their champion forms.
"Tentomon digivolve to…Kabuterimon!"
"Penguinmon digivolve to…Dolphmon!"
Vademon and DemiDevimon let out yelps of surprise seeing the larger digimon coming after them. They had no idea what to do. In an act of defence Vademon attempted to shoot at them thinking it was going to stop the large digimon. That only irritated Kabuterimon and Dolphmon more. Vademon and DemiDevimon ran for their lives as Kabuterimon flew toward them in anger. The two digimon fell to the ground just as the large bug digimon flew past them.
Turning around Kabuterimon stared down at them ready to strike with all he had. Dolphmon still floated in the air behind them ready to do a double team.
Vademon was in no mood for any more games and glared at Kabuterimon.
"What I need is some pest control," Vademon laughed blowing a kiss toward Kabuterimon. "Tata."
Asteroids began to come toward Kabuterimon as Vademon disappeared from sight. Dolphmon could only watch in shock.
Kabuterimon was hit full force with each asteroids coming toward him. At each hit he became weaker and forced to move back further. Dolphmon stared in horror trying to find a way to rescue him while Robert and Yukito floated uselessly.
"Kabuterimon!" Robert called out when Kabuterimon floated past him.
"Don't give up!" Dolphmon shouted.
Kabuterimon regained his composer and began to go full force into asteroids completely ignoring the pain. The rocks were getting bigger as time went by.
"Sorry but I've never been partial to vermin digimon," chortled Vademon.
"Oh how I long to rid of that laugh," seethed Yukito.
Kabuterimon floated in the space completely unconscious and unresponsive to the calls from Dolphmon.
Robert looked on with worry and concern. Yukito wrapped his arms around him to keep him from going after Kabuterimon.
"Kabuterimon! You have to get up and digivolve!"
As if something were listening to Robert's plea, his digivice started to glow brightly before shooting off a light into the crest and tag. From that light, it shone on Kabuterimon causing his body to change before the two humans and Dolphmon's eyes.
"Kabuterimon digivolve to…" his blue, large body began to change, the horn on his head became more of that of a beetles horn. He grew a red shell over his blue body; the pincers began to grow in size as well. From his two arms now grew four. "MegaKabuterimon!"
The asteroids before him never once phased him as he smashed his way through. His anger filled him and in return was determined to finish off Vademon. Robert and Yukito looked on in awestruck.
"Kabuterimon was successful he digivolved to ultimate MegaKabuterimon. Let's see if you can take him on Vademon," Robert analyzed.
Vademon looked on in almost boredom at MegaKabuterimon. "I have a surprise for him too," Vademon drawled blowing a kiss before disappearing into thin air.
MegaKabuterimon roared with anger as he went after him only to come face to face with what appeared to be a planet. There was no way his body was going to be able to smash through. With the force of the planet he was thrown back.
"Show him what you're made of MegaKabuterimon!" Robert shouted determinedly.
Vademon watched in triumph as he floated a few feet from the planet and MegaKabuterimon. He thought he had him completely trapped for good. What he never expected came next.
"Horn buster!" roared MegaKabuterimon. A bright light appeared before Vademon as the planet blew up into smithereens and completely destroying Vademon in the process.
Robert and Yukito looked at each other with grins on their faces, Penguinmon once again in Yukito's arms. They were triumphant at last, only problem was how do they escape? The bright light still remained making it difficult to see anything. Coming to their rescue, MegaKabuterimon picked the boys up and leaving the strange universe once and for all.
Outside on the mountain stood Mark, Kisho, Labramon, Wanyamon and Johnny looking around in shock as rumbling took place. Their mouths dropped when orb of light appeared and MegaKabuterimon shot through the ground and headed to the sky.
As the light began to fade away, Yukito and Robert lay unconscious on the ground. Penguinmon was lying next to Yukito in a daze. Weakly Motimon crawled toward Robert's side.
"Robert? Robert? Talk to me!" Motimon pleaded thinking his partner was dead.
Yukito let out a groan as he brought his hand to his head after hearing Motimon's plea for Robert to wake up. At first he truly thought Robert was dead, but as he struggled to sit up, he saw Robert groan and his eyes fluttered open.
"Robert? Are you all right?" Yukito asked gently as Motimon pulled on Robert's hand.
"Yeah, I believe so. How are you holding up little guy?" Robert asked concerned with his digimon.
Motimon released Robert's hand as a sigh of relief came through him. He wobbled a little bit before he crashed on the ground from exhaustion. "I'm so tired I can barely stand up."
"Aw, I'm sorry," Robert apologized pulling his digimon into a hug. Yukito sighed a breath of relief as he looked down at his own digimon.
"It's not you're fault Robert, you didn't know."
"Robert! Yukito!" came the voice of Mark. Looking up the boys could see Mark, Kisho, their digimon and Johnny running toward them. "You made it back!"
"You know it," replied Robert standing up holding on to Motimon with Yukito beside him, Penguinmon at their feet.
"How's it going?" Mark asked casually finally catching his breath.
"Long time no see," Johnny greeted grinning at Robert and Yukito.
"Um…exactly how did he get here?" asked Yukito quizzically.
"He came with Victoria, Ember is with her and James," Mark replied.
"Oh great. But yeah, we're both great now."
"Tell us what happened," insisted Kisho.
"Yeah, how did you two get here? We thought you two were digi-goners."
"Oh it was just a long day of searching for my inner self, you know the usual," joked Robert.
High above them a figure of Gennai came into sight. "Hello kids, it's been awhile."
"It's Gennai."
"The connection between the worlds is still damaged you'll have to stay longer," Gennai drawled.
The four kids all gasped at his message, only Johnny looked at him in question trying to figure out who the old man was.
"I've collected some information about the digital world that you would be able to use. Make sure you take a look at the digimon files, it'll tell you all you need to know," Gennai's voice began to fade away as he disappeared.
"All right…who exactly was that old guy?"
"Gennai, someone who contacted us when we were on File Island," answered Yukito.
"Right," Johnny replied rolling his eyes.
Robert got right away into typing on his laptop. Mark, Kisho, Yukito and Johnny sat on the ground behind him staring at the screen. Yukito rolled his eyes as he leaned back.
"I wonder if there's anyone we know in here?" wondered Robert aloud typing away almost bored. "I just downloaded my favourite: MegaKabuterimon," Robert said brightly as soon as everyone downloaded.
"We really need to get you away from that computer love," Yukito insisted.
"I'm just that cool."
Somewhere in a darken forest, DemiDevimon flapped in front of a large portal like orb created by bats.
"A funny thing happened on the way to Vademon's," DemiDevimon laughed nervously.
"Prepare to face the consequences," Myotismon's low voice seethed.
"I hate this part," DemiDevimon said in a high pitch voice.
"Quiet, you had your chance," Myotismon snapped.
DemiDevimon looked on in horror as Myotismon's bats picked up DemiDevimon taking him to a nearby tree.
"Don't make me sit in this tree all night boss. I'm afraid of heights," whined DemiDevimon.
A/N: Wow…three months of no updates…what the hell? I swear I am not dead. Just a slight writers block and tad in and out of writing. Lost my muse.
Yumi: What the bloody hell? We've been waiting forever for you to write again. We were bore.
Victoria: You got that right…our readers were worried sick about you.
Ember: You write one chapter with me in it and you leave it alone?
Me: All right all right, I'm sorry it won't happen again. I promise the next chapter won't be far along. It just requires me to type it up.
Yukito: You better write it, I'm just glad to be out of the universe finally. Didn't think it would last for three months straight.
