"Heave, you scallywags! I said heave!" a human-like digimon said to his minions. He was wearing a red sailor's coat with a matching captain's hat. He was angrily waving the silver hook on his right hand at the six kamemon who were lugging huge chests out of a cave across the beach. The kamemon looked like green turtles wearing commando helmets. They had the track ball of a computer mouse on their stomachs and a long tail with wires coming out of the end. The backs of their shells appeared to be the top of a computer mouse, buttons and all. "Move faster, mates!"the captain yelled at his crew, brandishing a gun and firing at the kamemon's feet. The kamemon dropped their chest and ran around, dodging the gunfire and waving their arms in the air.
The five Tamers and their digimon hid behind a large outcropping of rocks and gazed at the pirates down by the beach. "They look pathetic for pirates." Brian commented.
"Yeah, but they have a ship," Duane said. "And that's the only way we can keep heading east, like Gennai told you to."
"So are we just supposed to waltz up to them and ask to stow away?" Hope said sarcastically.
"You never know," Gabbie replied back.
They all fell silent as they watched the pirates fumble about ridiculously while their captain yelled at them. Brian suddenly felt something nudging him in the backside. "Agumon, tell me later,"
"Tell you what later, Brian?" Agumon asked. The digimon's voice came from the opposite side that he was being nudged from.
"Well then who...?" Brian turned around just as a toucanmon snatched the digivice from his belt in its mouth. The bird digimon turned around and ran a few feet with it. "Hey, you! Give that back! I need that!"
The toucanmon kept running as Brian chased it around the jutting rocks, throwing sand up into the air as they did so. Brian kept chasing the bird and Toucanmon kept running away, squawking and flapping it's wings. Off in the background at the large rock they were hiding behind, Hope, Gatomon, Duane, Leomon, Gabbie, Dobermon, Christina, Lunamon, and Agumon were all laughing at Brian.
"Spit it out, you dodo!" Brian yelled again, tackling Toucanmon. "I said spit it out!" Whe the toucanmon hit the ground, a loud squawk came out and it swallowed the digivice. Toucanmon started coughing and squawking even more. "That didn't just happen," Brian said unbelieving. He then grabbed hold of Toucanmon's throat and started shaking the bird wildly. "Spit it up! Spit up, I said! I want my digivice back! Give it here!" Brian turned the toucanmon over and started beating on its back. Everytime his hand collided with the digimon, Toucanmon gave a loud squawk and saliva flung out.
The digivice popped out of Toucanmon's beak and Brian threw the bird to the side and snatched it up quickly. The sand clung to the bird's saliva, forcing Brian to clean it off with his shirt. Just then, a group of kamemon came around the corner to investigate the ruccous. "Who's there?" one of the kamemon cried. "Humans? What are humans doing here?"
"Step aside, step aside!" cried another voice, pushing his way through the kamemon.
"Captain Hookmon! Sir!" another kamemon piped up. "We have discovered this lot here watching us and beating up Toucanmon!"
"Ah," Hookmon said in a cliched pirate accent. "Come ter steal me trey-jur, eh? Well, ye can't be havin' me gold, now can ye? No, no, tsk, tsk, tsk."
"What?" Christina cried. "We aren't here to steal your treasure! Keep all of it!"
"Arr, so the lass say's, that she does." Hookmon replied. "Well, I'll be being the judge of that, now won't I? First mate Toucanmon! Front an' center!"
"Yessir, Cap'n Hookmon! Right away, Cap'n Hookmon!" Toucanmon answered in a dumpy sounding voice as he waddled in front of Hookmon.
"What were these," he paused to find the right word to describe them, "hooligans doin' behind this 'ere rock?"
"Well, sir, I found them spying on us, sir. And then the one there with the big hair," he indicated Brian, "had something shiny on his belt. So I went in for a closer look and then the whole lot of them gang-beat me, sir."
"What?" cried Hope. "That isn't true! Only Brian beat him up!"
"Thanks, Hope." Brian shot her a glare. "Way to look out for me."
"Well, you know what I mean!" she shot back at him.
"It seems," Hookmon began, "that these intruders must be dealt with! We will now tie them up!" Before anybody could react, the kamemon had grabbed a hold of all five Tamers and their digimon, tied them up, and took away their digivices. The kamemon dragged them all the way to a beached row boat and then began to row out to the ship at sea. The waters were generally calm, with clear blue skies and only a slight breeze. The prow of the row boat smacked against the anchored ship and ropes were thrown down at them over the railing. The kamemon tied the thick ropes to each end of the row boat and whistled loudly. At the sound of the whistle, the boat lurched upwards and was heaved into the air and up onto the ship. The kamemon jumped out and then tipped the row boat on its side, throwing the captives out onto the deck.
Brian smacked his face hard against the wooden floor before the kamemon crew pulled him back up to his feet. He and his companions were then taken below deck and thrown into the brig. The metal door slammed shut behind them and the Kamemon returned to their posts.
"We have made a habit out of being captured," Duane remarked. "I think we should learn to plan a little better."
Billy stormed in through the front doors to his castle. Stomping all the way do his bed chamber, he pushed any nearby digimon out of his way. "Get me something hot to drink!" he barked at some bakemon. The bakemon ran off terrified of the boy's wrath, unwanting ofthe consequences that may result from slow movement.
Billy's personal room in the west wing of the fortress was the largest and the fanciest. On the far end of the room was a window with a cozy place to sit and near there was a small desk with a mirror. He opened the window, letting in the breeze and then sat down at the desk, looking at his reflection in the mirror.
"You'd better watch out, Daemon. If it wasn't for you, I would have already killed the other humans who oppose me."
"Technically," DemiDevimon said as he flew in through the window. "Technically, you would ne'er 'ave met them pesky humans in the first place if it wasn't fer Daemon. He is the one who brought you 'ere after all."
Billy opened a drawer in the desk and pulled out a long knife. He quickly turned around and threw the blade in DemiDevimon's direction. The knife whizzed just centimeters over the top of the digimon's head, embedding itself into a wooden ship replica. "Jeez, boss!" DemiDevimon exclaimed. "Yer aim sure is gettin' better! There was a time when I'de actually have had to dodge them there points!"
Billy sat back down and spoke quietly. "Why haven't you digivolved yet?"
"I wasn't aware it was necessary at the moment, boss."
Billy smirked. "To mega, level, moron. Why haven't you yet digivolved to mega? You're stronger than any of the other digimon. and I'm stronger than any of the other Tamers. So why won't you digivolve?"
"Well, I don't know, boss." DemiDevimon perched himself on the bed frame and shrugged.
Billy pulled out his black digivice and set it down on the desk. He stared at it, contemplating the machine. "What is your secret? Why don't you react to me the way they other digivice's do for their Tamers?" He put his hands on the desk and yelled at his digivice, "Digivolve! Make my digimon stronger!"
"I don't think that will work," DemiDevimon said, closing his eyes and letting himself fall onto the matress. "Remember what we overheard LadyDevimon and Daemon saying back at the Floating Castle?"
"Yeah, something about how this digivice gives me my current power to dark digivolve, but I won't ever be able to go to the mega level. But that doesn't make sense, I can force other digimon to digivolve to mega. Why not you?"
"Beats me, boss," the digimon responded, starting to fall asleep.
"Maybe you are weak... I won't be using you anymore, DemiDevimon. You have been useful up till now, but now I have to defeat the digidestined and Daemon at any cost. And I think I know what digimon to use." Bill began to laugh into the night.
The Tamers and their digimon woke up with a start as the ship suddenly rocked to the right, as if hit by something. "What was that?" Christina asked.
The ship was hit again, harder this time, causing the ten of them to become airborn and hit the wall. Above them they could hear the crew yelling and running around. "I wonder what's going on?" Leomon said.
Again the ship was hit fromt he side, this time knocking the Tamers to the over end of their cell. The keys to the cell fell off the peg, landing right in front of Brian. "The keys!" he yelled as he reached through the bars to grab them. Suddenly, they were hit again. The keys flew away from Brian, who had smashed his face into the bars of the cell. He cried out in pain and frustration.
Suddenly there was a sound of breaking wood and light shined into the dark brig. Brian turned his head to see where then sun had penetrated from. At the far wall of their cell was a huge, clammy, grey tentacle pouring into the room through a hole in the ship's wall. The tentacle was feeling around, looking for soemthing to grab. What it finally grabbed onto was Duane's ankle.
As Duane was dragged across the wooden floor, he yelled to his friends, "Help me!" Brian leaped to his feet and grasped Duane's arm, momentarily slowing down the tentacle. As the tentacle recovered and pulled harder, the other Tamers and the five digimon all grabbed hold of Brian and Duane, trying to stop the tentacle from stealing their friend.
Leomon drew his sword and allowed the blade to come down onto the tentacle, severing it in one blow. Duane was quick to unwrap the remainder of it off of his ankle. From the wounded tentacle only came more tantacles, wrapping themselves around the waists, arms, and legs of Duane, Leomon, Agumon, Gatomon, Hope, and Gabbie and pulled them right out. The remaining Tamers and digimon, Brian, Christina, Lunamon, and Dobermon ran over to the hole in the wall.
Outside they could see Net Ocean. The blue waters crashed against the side of the boat as the attacking digimon clung to side. The giant digimon looked a lot liek and octopus. His arms and legs were made of groups of tentacles bound together with chains, gold rings, and black belts. Red wing like apendiges sprouted out of its back, although they probably were for moving in water rather than through the air. Around his neck were black juzu beads. His head had intricate red markings and a gaping mouth filled with teeth.
"What is it?" Christina gasped.
"I... I don't know!" Brian admitted. "I've never seen it before!"
"Daemon requestes an audience with the five Tamers on this ship." The creature spoke. "I am Dragomon, and you will comply or be destroyed."
"Do all evil villains read from the same script?" Dobermon asked sarcastically. "Black Beam!" the beam of dark energy burst from his mouth and cut the tantacles holding their friends. The captured Tamers and digimon fell through the air.
Dragomon laughed as two tentacles grew out of the stubs where Dobermon had sliced. The tentacles all found falling captives and wrapped themselves around them. "It won't be that easy! I'm an ultimate level digimon! I won't be bested by a weakling like you!"
"We'll see about that!" Christina yelled.
"What are we supposed to do? We don't have our digivices, remember?" Brian reminded her.
Just then, a group of kamemon lead by Captain Hookmon came down into the brig. He pointed at the cell gate and a couple of kamemon picked up the keys off the ground and unlocked the door. They then forcefully grabbed Brian, Christina, Dobermon, and Lunamon and dragged them out and up to the top deck. They were then dragged through a doorway and thrown onto the wooden floor. The kamemon left and shut the door behind them. Captain Hookmon sat down at his desk.
"Welcome to my quarters," he said.
"What do you want?" Brian asked sourly, standing and then helping Christina to her feet.
Hookmon opened up a drawer and reached in. He grabbed a sack and set it down on the table. The whole time, they could hear the kamemon running around and the sounds of battle. Also in the distance they could hear the screams of their friends. "I want you to save our ship!" He jumped out of his chair, landing right in front of them on his hands and knees. "Please! I beg of you! She's all I got! Don't let her take on any more water!" He held out the bag to grabbed it. Inside were their digivices and a coupon to use the ship's ferry service.
"You're kidding right?" Brian said. Tears welled up in Hookmon's eyes. "Ugh... this is ridiculous. Alright, we'll save your ship. Let's go!"
The four of them ran out of the captain's quarters and Lunamon digivolved to Lekismon, yelling, "Moon Night Kick!" She used her powerful legs to leap up into the air and strike Dragomon in the chest with her foot.
"Dragomon laughed and said, "Was that supposed to hurt? It actually kind of tickled!" He just laughed harder as Lekismon landed into the water below.
"Our attacks aren't working," Brian cried. "What do we do?"
"I don't know! I'm not experienced as a Tamer! That's why Gennai told you to come with us!" Christina shot back.
"Brian!" Agumone called. "Make me digivolve!" Brian held his digivice out and the screen glowed. Agumon was engulfed in a light that began to expand. Then the light shrunk and the tentacle holding Agumon began to glow. When the light finally broke, Agumon was still Agumon. "Try again!"
"Alright!" Brian did it again, and the exact same thing happened as last time.
"Yes!" Dragomon yelled triumphantly. "Keep digivolving! The energy feeds me! Give me more!" It was then that all of the tentacles holding the digimon began to glow. Soon the digimon began dedigivolving. Leomon and Gatomon were reduced to their rookie forms, Elecmon and Salamon. Agumon returned to Koromon.
"He can suck out the energy from our digimon?" Duane was shocked. "How can we beat him?"
Hope bit the tentacle holding her as hard as she could and she plumeted down into the water below. "You can't escape me that easily!" Dragomon called as he let go of the pirate's ship and follwed her under the water. The ship rocked backward from the sudden loss of wieght on one side. Koromon, Elecmon, and Salamon held their breath as they were forced under the water. Hope continued to dive down, tyring to escape the sea monster.
"The ship is free!" Brian called to the kamemon aboard. "And I have a plan!"
Captain Hookmon walked in front of him. "My plan is to be gettin' out of here as fast as I can! Quickly crew, back to the Keys!" The kamemon all leaped to their stations and put the ship back on course towards their hideout. Dobermon jumped into the air and landed on top of Hookmon, pinning him to the ground. The large dog monster growled in the captain's ear. "Eh? What's the big idea?"
"We're taking over this ship." Brian informed him. He took the hat off of Captain Hookmon and placed it upon his own head. "Kamemon, man your battle stations. We wills tay and fight."
"Well, he has the captain's hat I suppose," First Mate Toucanmon said. "Well, you heard the captain, you dogs! Man your battle stations!"
"This be mutiny!" Hookmon said as he struggled beneath Dobermon.
Meanwhile, beneath the ocean, Hope was swimming away from Dragomon as fast as she could, but neither she nor her friends in the enemies grasp could hold their breath forever. Dragomon was gaining on her. He was a far better swimmer than she was and could move thorugh the water with more agility than shecould ever hope for herself. Deciding that she was almost out of breath, she started to swim upwards when something caught her eye. The shock of it made her stop swimming completely. She couldn't believe that a DigiBlade door was here, under the ocean.
Dragomon floated directly behind her. "I told you long ago that you would be my queen, Kari. Now Daemon has rescued me from the Dark Ocean and promised you to me. We will have our queen..." Hope spun around and faced her enemy. She had absolutely no idea what Dragomon was talking about. Her name wasn't Kari and she had never seen Dragomon before.
'Wait,' Hope though to herself. 'He couldn't mean, Hikari Kamiya, could he?' Suddenly afraid, Hope spun towards the DigiBlade door and swam as fast as she could without looking over her shoulder.
"Thousand Whip!" Dragomon yelled. Any tentacles not already holding onto a Tamer or a digimon were flung at Hope. Lekismon swam to her rescue, scooping her up into the digimon's arms and swimming away. Hope, unable yto speak underwater, pointed at the DigiBlade Door. The digimon understood at once and took Hope to the door. She didn't have time to slow herself down and instead they swam right into Crest inside began to glow green as they drew nearer. It was in the shape of a tear drop.
Hope turned around to leave but instead found herself trapped by Dragomon. She was cornered with nowhere to go. Dragomon laughed, "I have you now, Kari. You will be mine!" He kept on luaghing until a big huge something rammed into him from the side. Duane, Gabbie, Elecmon, Salamon, and Koromon were released from the tentaclesand they all swam towards Hope and Lekismon. The giant whale that rammed Dragomon turned around and began to swim in their direction. As the monster opened its mouth wide, Hope and the others tried to swim away but they were soon pulled into the mouth, which closed around them.
Topside, back on deck, Brian had taken command of the ship by the time that Dragomon had resurfaced. "Where is she?" the monster yelled as the ocean splashed around him. "Where'd Kari go?"
"There is no Kari!" Brian yelled, turning the ship toward Dragomon. "Only me!" the sails caught the wind and rushed at the monster at full speed. The prow of the ship collided with Dragomon and broke off in the middle. The now splintered end rushed itself into the flesh of Dragomon. the impact cause the ship to rock and crack in places. Christina was thrown off into the water.
"Christina!" Brian yelled.
"My ship!" Hookmon cried. Tears streamed down his face as he realized the damage done to his ship.
Dobermon put his paw on the back of Hookmon's neck and growled, "Shut up!"
Christina swam back up above the water, coughing because she inhaled a little bit when she hit the waves. She wasn't in the water for long however. Soon a giant object floated up beneath her, lifting her up into the air above the waves. Water burst from a hole in the object's back.
"There's somebody on my back, kids," the object beneath Christina spoke.
"Who is it Whamon?" Hope's voice came from the blow hole.
Christina yelled down into the blow hole, "Hope? Is that you? It's me, Christina!"
"Stina!" Duane's voice called back. "That's great! Let her inside, Whamon!"
Whamon opened up his large mouth and said, "Climb on in, Christina." The girl hesitated, but then jumped in off the digimon and swam over to the front. She then pulled herself into the mouth, which closed around her. Christina looked around her. Hope, Gabbie, Duane, Gatomon, Leomon, Agumon, and Lekismon were there.
"Stina!" Lekismon called. "I'm happy to see that you're okay!"
"Is Dobermon alright?" Gabbie asked.
"Yeah! He helped us take over the pirate ship. He's got Hookmon pinned down at the moment.
"Whamon," Hope yelled. Her voice echoed throughout the cave-like mouth. "Take us back to the DigiBlade Door! I think I know who can open it!"
The Tamers felt the giant digimon move and gravity shift as Whamon began to sink down lower. When they finally stopped, Whamon said, "Okay, Christina. Go into the back of my throat and I will expel you out of my blow hole."
Christina didn't move. "You can't be serious?"
"Go on Stina," Duane said. "It'll be okay. Trust me! Whamon is a good digimon. He saved us from drowning."
"I'll be with you the whole time," Lekismon assured her.
"Well, okay." Christina finally resolved. Her and Lekismon walked down the throat. Once in the back, Whamon opened his mouth and let in some water. He propelled the water, Christina, and Lekismon out into the ocean. Christina spun around, unable to control herself in the cold, salty water. When she was able to regain her composure, Lekismon grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards the Door. The tear drop Crest inside began to glow green as they got nearer. Christina pulled her digivice out of her pocket and inserted it into the digivice shaped slot. The Door cracked open and a blinding light shone from within. Christina was forced to shield her eyes as the Door slid open slowly. From within the shroud of light, the DigiBlade came forth. She reached out and grasped the medium sized ring. The chakram was light and made of Chrome Digizoid, like the rest of the DigiBlades. The handle on the inside was ornately inscribed with digicode. In the very center, there was a small, empty slot jsut the right size and shape for a digivice. The DigiBlade Door closed and and her digivice floated into the slot on the DigiBlade. The tear drop shaped Crest was emplazoned on the back of the digivice.
Christina and Lekismon were suddenly sucked back up into the mouth of Whamon and the excess water was expelled through the blow hole. Everybody inside cheered for Christina and her newfound DigiBlade. "I have guarded the DigiBlade of Sincerity since it was madeall those years ago." Whamon told them. "It has been my duty to keep evil doers away until somebody like you could come and retrieve it. Now you have, and now my mission is complete." Nobody could think of anything to say so Whamon took them back up to the surface.
The whole time, Brian had been fighting to keep Dragomon pinned to the ship and way from his friends. Dragomon's tentacles had criss-crossed themsleves all over the ship. Dragomon and the ship were so intertwined that they almost became one creature. Brian was hacking at the tentacles that came near him with his DigiBlade battle axe. Everytime he cut one though, two more grow back from the stub. He was soon surrounded by a mass of tentacles that would stop at nothing to tear him apart.
"Our digimon have had their energy sucked out of them, Stina." Duane told her, looking at the ship through Whamon's open mouth. "It's up to you to save Brian now."
Christina nodded. Lekismon jumped into the air and splashed down into the water. Lekismon started swimming to the ship. She climbed up and was almost immediately knocked back off by a tentacle. "It seems that it isn't going to be that easy, Lekismon!" Christina shouted.
Suddenly, a tentacle grabbed Brian's foot and pulled him down. He smacked his face against the deck and dropped his DigiBlade. Dragomon's tentacles soon grabbed all of Brian's limbs and lifted him into the air. Another group of tentacles picked up his battle axe. "Oh! This weapon has an abundance of energy for me to deplete!" Dragomon yelled happily. The tentacles glowed as they started sucking energy from the weapon..
Agumon fell over. The Tamers and their digimon still inside of Whamon's mouth all rushed over to see if he was alright. He looked very sick. "The partner digimon is connected to the digivice through its bond with his Tamer." Whamon told them. "And the digivice is connected directly to the DigiBlade. Dragomon is sucking the energy right out of Agumon!"
"Isn't there anything we can do?" Hope asked.
"Get out of my mouth now, children." Whamon told them. Everybody got out and a few of them helped to keep Agumon afloat. Whamon then charged at full speed towards Dragomon and rammed right into the large digimon. Dragomon let go of the ship and allowed Brian and the DigiBlade to drop to the deck. The giant octopus instead focused his tentacles onto Whamon. "You think you can save them, guardian of the ocean?" Dragomon yelled. "You cannot save them! Daemon will have them!" Dragomon's tentacles were thrusted into Whamon's throat and then tore their way out his back. With a powerful pull, Whamon was torn in half and dissolved into data.
"No!" Christina yelled. "Whamon! He sacrificed himself for us... Lekismon! We have to avenge Whamon!" At that moment, her digivice's screen and the Crest of Sincerity emblazoned on the back began to glow green and Lekismon was engulfed in the light of digivolution. She grew taller and more powerful. Her head was completely covered in a stong metal helmet and the rest of her torso was clad in armour. He strong legs were given metal boots to wear and in her hands rested the two crescent shaped weapons, Nuova Luna
She rose up into the air as the light dissolved away from her. "I am Crescemon, and I will kill you for what you have done to Whamon," she said to Dragomon. "Ice Archery!" she yelled, pulling arrows of ice from behind her and firing them into the water from her Nuova Luna weapon. The water froze over where the arrows hit to make an ice bridge that Crescemon could skate upon. Dragomon realized what she was doing and promptly began smashing at her with his large tentacles, breaking up the ice around her. Crescemon either jumped over the clammy apendages or sidestepping onto newer ice bridges that she created on the spot in response to Dragomon's attack Eventually she was able to find a way to get behind her opponent and land a heavy kick to his gellatinous form. The power from the attack forced the monster to sink underwater. "Yeah!" Brian yelled form aboard the ship. "You're winning!" Just as soon as he had finished his cheer, Dragomon's tentacles began shooting up out of the water at random around the ship, grabbing hold of the mast and railings.
Dragomon pulled himself out of the waves and screamed, "I will not be defeated that easily!"
"We'll see about that!" Crescemon yelled as she began shooting her Dark Archery attack at the tentacles coming out of the water. The darkness arrows pierced the many tentacles protruding from the water. At each contact, the tentacles writhed in pain and agony as they sank back into the ocean. "Lunatic Dance!" she cried, performing intricate ballet-style dance routines around Dragomon. The enemy was enraged by her speed and agility as each and every one of his tentacles failing to land an attack.
Soon, Crescemon was able to get in close and slash at the monster with her pendulum-like Nuova Luna weapon. Blood gushed out of the open gash in his side as the waters around him turned a sickly red color. As Dragomon was yelling in anger and pain, allowing Crescemon to encase the water at her enemy's base in a thick sheet of ice. She then skated in for another close range attack, leaving two more huge gashes in the back and front of Dragomon's torso.
Dragomon crashed down into the water, blood pouring out of his open wounds. A huge wave rippled from where he slapped against the ocean. "If I am to die, then I will take you with me!" What tentacles he had left that weren't damaged grasped whatever surfaces were available on the ship. The ship began to tilt sideways towards the waves. The crew on board could not keep their balance as the deck slowly became vertical.
"He's going to destroy the ship!" Brian yelled holding onto the ship's control wheel. "If the ship goes, then we'll die of starvation of hypothermia or something!"
Dragomon laughed as he sank into the water, dragging the ship down with him. "Not if I can help it," Christina said. She submergered herself underwater and found her target. With as much power as she could muster, she tossed her DigiBlade in the direction of Dragomon. The chakram whizzed through the water at top speed until it hit its mark. Sinking itself deep into Dragomon's head, the monster yelled in pain. Dragomon began to dissolve from the spot of the wound. When he was nothing but data, he could no longer hold his form and Dragomon exploded, launching the ship back into its upright position and flinging several members of the crew off into the waters.
The four Tamers and the four partner digimon that were still in the water were brought back aboard the ship and Christina was cheered on very loudly by human and digimon alike. "Thank you, Tamers!" Captain Hookmon said to them all in a formal ceremony severel hours later. By this time the ditgivices had already been redistributed amongst them and they had been given their own quarters. "Forevermore, you ten shall be welcome aboard my vessel! You will be honored guests aboard the Christina!"
Christina was shocked. "Y-you named the ship after me?"
"But of course, lass!" Hookmon replied. "What better a name than that of the one who saved her, eh?"
"Wow!" Christina exclaimed. "I'm really honored!"
"You should all head to bed," Toucanmon told them. "We will arrive at the Digital Keys tomorrow morning, and we will make our landing at around midday."
The Tamers and their digimon all went down to their quarters below deck and they slept peacefully all night long.
