Chapter 36: Storm of Love! Silphymon!
Chosen HQ, Odaiba District, Minato Ward, Tokyo, Japan. October 8th, 2002. 1500 Hours.
P.O.V. – Ross McGlathery
It's been a couple of days since we iced our wounds against BlackWarGreymon. There was good news and bad news to it all. The good news was that he wasn't taking Archnemon's orders and didn't finish us off. It also added to the fact that witch was now more focused on getting him back rather than wrecking the Digital World. The bad news was that BlackWarGreymon was still an uncontrollable beast and it he was causing some damage himself. Anything that got in his way, he absolutely wrecked and his fearful reputation was very quickly spreading.
For us Chosen Children, our plans were quickly changing around him. Most of the older Chosen Children had now returned their Digimon back to the Digital World to keep tabs on both Archnemon and BlackWarGreymon. We'd rotate them out so some Digimon were staying home with their partners while others were keeping an eye on things, but it still didn't change the fact that we had nothing to combat the Ultimate Dark Tower Digimon. All we can do right now is keep an eye on him… and hope that maybe Archnemon pushes him and ends up getting killed at the hands of her own creation. That's a bit of irony that I would love to see. The door soon opened up and the others came before I sat down in the corner and decided to take a quick nap. I kinda fried my brain with that history exam earlier. I know I answered more than I was supposed to, but hey, it doesn't hurt to get extra credit.
P.O.V. – Third Person
In a large thick forest in the Digital World, all was fairly quiet for the Digimon there until a loud rumbling slowly approached. The Digimon quickly took cover as two trees were quickly cut down. The culprit was BlackWarGreymon who was slowly walking his way through. He quickly turned his head when he saw a Kuwagamon cowering up behind a tree. The reputation that he had earned was certainly becoming of him. An unstoppable warrior of destruction that would easily crush any that stood in his way. The Ultimate Digimon turned his head back forward as he ignored the scared beetle. He just continued on his way, looking for whatever challenger to fight and give him the satisfaction of a worthy opponent.
In the desert not too far behind, Archnemon and Mummymon were in their Dune Buggy and keeping a distant chase with the rogue Digimon. Archnemon was still upset about it all. Here she had created the perfect Digimon to destroy both the Chosen Children and the Digital World and yet at the greatest moment, the thing tells her off and then flies away to look for some worthy challenge.
"He's creating a distortion wherever he goes. We'll know where he is if we follow these tracks." Mummymon told her as he looked to a radar screen on the dashboard. It was red dot following a black one with a large red wave behind it.
"Just where is he going?" Archnemon wondered about her creation.
"If we knew, there wouldn't be a problem…"
"How can you be so relaxed? Speed up!"
"Alright, alright…" Mummymon complied and hit the gas, causing more dust to kick up behind them… while Guilmon poked his head out from behind a rock he hid behind.
"Certainly on the move right now…"
P.O.V. – Hikari Yagami
As we got to the Headquarters, Ross swiftly got up from the computer, gave us a few words before he nodded off in the corner. We quickly went back to the main issue at hand.
"BlackWarGreymon…" Takeru mutter, that name really getting on everyone's nerves now.
"I still can't believe that Paildramon and MechaRaptormon couldn't beat him." Daisuke said.
"He's an Ultimate Digimon, it can't be helped." Tailmon tried to assure him. Of course, that doesn't really help us as we don't really have any Digimon who could properly fight him anymore. Agumon and Gabumon can't evolve to WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon to combat him, or even Omegamon who could probably easily defeat him. "Even if I could reach Perfect-Level, I'd stand no chance." Tailmon gave a quick reminded as well.
"If we had two… no, one more Jogress Evolution, we might stand a chance against him." suggested Takeru, of course, those are still some long odds.
"You all have to hurry and Jogress-Evolve!" Chibimon shouted.
"Drop the attitude, wise guy." Daisuke rolled his eyes which caused Chibimon to chuckle.
"But… he makes a good point." Patamon nodded upon that suggestion. "I wonder who my partner is."
"If we knew, we could practice." Poromon said as I walked over to one of the few windows in the warehouse.
"Right, dagyaa!" Upamon cried.
"In any case… It has to be someone here." Tailmon put her paw over her mouth in deep thought.
"Here?" "Someone…" Poromon and Patamon joined in the thinking.
"Still, I can't believe he ignored that spider woman." Miyako was remembering what Ross told us when BlackWarGreymon defeated us.
"That means he will be difficult to deal with." Iori scratched his chin.
"I wonder where he's going, all alone…" I finally said something which drew everyone's attention. "BlackWarGreymon… he's like a Digimon born only to fight." I continued as I stared out the window. I hate to admit it, but I did actually feel sorry for him.
"Hikari-chan, you're worried about BlackWarGreymon?" Miyako questioned.
"It's not that, but…"
"Hikari-chan is really nice, unlike you, Miyako." Daisuke gave her a small insult.
"What's that about?" She angrily turned her head back to look at him.
"What?"
"Calm down!" mediated Takeru. "Anyway, let's go to the Digital World. We can't let them create another Digimon like that."
"Yeah! We're going to take all those Dark Towers down! Right, Hikari-chan?"
"Yes…" I reluctantly nodded.
"Let's go, Daisuke!" Chibimon jumped on his arm.
"Yeah!"
After a message from Guilmon about where both BlackWarGreymon and Archnemon were, we soon ended up in a pretty dark forest and were just walking through it; following the path that BlackWarGreymon had taken.
"Yeah, I'm really different from Hikari-chan. She keeps so much inside…" Miyako thought to herself. "That's why I have no clue what she's thinking sometimes." After walking for what honestly felt like a mile, Tailmon suddenly stopped and looked around.
"Tailmon?" I tried to get her attention.
"It's here!" She shouted to the group. "This is where I lost my Holy Ring!"
"Your Holy Ring?" I quickly repeated.
"I'm sure."
"At the time I lost it when being attacked by that Unimon; I couldn't look for it because the Digimon Kaiser was on the loose. With my Holy Ring, I may be able to get my original powers back."
"Okay! Let's look for it, then!" Daisuke hurriedly spoke up.
"Daisuke-kun…" I smiled at him, which cause Iori and Miyako to give him smug smiles too.
"Trying to score some points with Hikari-san?" Iori snidely said.
"You're so predictable, Daisuke." Miyako teased which caused him to go red faced.
"Well, I'm sorry!" He angrily shouted. V-mon lightly nudged him in the leg.
"Don't give up, Daisuke." He whispered which made Daisuke pick him up near the neck and shake him.
"V-mon…!" I giggled when I saw that.
"But Daisuke-kun is right. Let's look for it." Takeru agreed with Patamon nodding.
"Let's get to it." "We'll find it for sure, dagyaa!" Hawkmon and Armadimon chimed in.
"Thank you… everyone." Tailmon was extremely thankful for our offer.
"Well, Hikari-chan…" Daisuke walked past me.
"I'll look for it with Miyako-san." I didn't let him finish and walked away from him. Miyako looked slightly confused as I took her arm. "Let's check over there. Daisuke sounded defeated as V-mon nudged him again.
"Don't give up, Daisuke." He repeated and got the same result as before.
"V-mon…!"
P.O.V. – Ken Ichijouji
"I have a bad feeling about this place…" Wormmon shivered as Osamu and I entered the forest. We were also trying to follow BlackWarGreymon like the others so when Guilmon told us the others were in the area, we agreed to join them.
"You're right, Wormmon… something's not right about this forest." Monodramon added. I looked over to Osamu who was staring ahead into the forest.
"Onii-san… you okay?" He said nothing as he looked around. He took another glance forward before he gasped and widened his eyes. He looked completely gripped with fear before he closed his eyes and screamed.
"Osamu-chan!" "Onii-san, what's wrong!?"
P.O.V. – Hikari Yagami
"It's not here…" Hawkmon observed from a large broken branch.
"I think it was around here…" Tailmon strongly believed. The sound of a familiar scream soon rang out across the forest.
"Ichijouji-san?" I questioned to myself. I soon took off running towards the sound where I thought I heard him from.
"Hikari-chan?" Miyako was confused and chased after me with our Digimon. "Hikari-chan! Where are you going?"
"Didn't you hear it? Ichijouji-san's voice!"
"Osamu-san's?" We turned a corner in the woods and found Osamu on his knees groaning in agony which his head clutched while Monodramon, Ken and Wormmon were looking at him.
"What's wrong?" I asked as I kneeled down to Osamu.
"Did something appear? BlackWarGreymon?" Miyako questioned once more.
"No, he just screamed out and fell on his knees!" Ken informed as he turned his attention right back to his brother.
"The ocean…" Osamu muttered. "I saw the ocean… a dark ocean…" My blood went cold as soon as he said that.
"A dark… ocean…" I slowly repeated. The terrible memories began flooding back once more.
"A dark ocean…? It is dark here, but…" Miyako was confused.
"I don't think there's really any water around here." Ken didn't understand either. Osamu took a deep breath and got back up on his feet.
"I'm sorry… I'm okay now…"
"Fine? You can barely stand!" countered Miyako as Ken took his shoulder and became a crutch for him. "Seriously, seeing the ocean in the middle of the forest…" She grumbled as we all walked away.
P.O.V. – Takeru Takaishi
"It's not here." Iori informed as we looked hard in the area for Tailmon's Holy Ring.
"Should we look somewhere else?" I suggested. Daisuke sighed.
"Yeah, let's do that." He then pulled out his D-3. "I wonder where Hikari-chan and the rest are. Hey, what's going on here?" I checked my D-3 and found four different colored dots beginning to fade out on the screen. My heart sank as I saw that.
"Something happened to them!" I ran as fast as I could where they were.
"Hey, Takeru!" The others tried to catch up with me.
P.O.V. – Hikari Yagami
As we walked down hill, I notice that the forest was getting even darker. Though, the clouds above us were darker so that would explain it. Of course… it also feels like this area was really familiar.
"Do you feel like we were here a while ago?" I looked around.
"We may have gotten lost in all this foliage." believed Tailmon.
"No way! Wait a second!" Miyako loudly panicked. "Are we just going to end up rotting here!?"
"Take it easy, Miyako-san. It'll be okay, I'm sure." Ken quickly tried to help her. Both of them soon made a 'huh' noise as they looked deeper into the woods.
"Daisuke!" Miyako exclaimed.
"V-mon!" Hawkmon chimed in as well.
"See, what did I tell you?" Ken smiled as Miyako waved.
"Daisuke!" "V-mon!" Daisuke looked over our direction and Miyako and Hawkmon ran over to him with the rest of us following her as he ran towards us.
However, something was wrong when Daisuke just ran right through her causing her to stop with her eyes wide open. Hawkmon landed and V-mon did the same to him. The two of them then ran past the rest of us before stopping in a small clearing.
"That's odd… I thought I heard a voice." Daisuke looked around.
"Daisuke-kun…" I muttered.
"I heard it too." V-mon said before the two of them ran off again.
"Daisuke!" "Motomiya-kun!" Ken and Osamu tried to call him as he ran out of our view.
"Hikari-chan! Miyako!" He called out as he ran a different direction.
"Looks like we ended up in some strange place…" I came to a conclusion for the strange incident.
"No way!" Miyako moaned.
P.O.V. – Takeru Takaishi
"Did you find Hikari-chan and the others?" Daisuke asked as we all quickly regrouped.
"They're nowhere to be found." Iori explained.
"We looked all over and couldn't find them!" Patamon added.
"Where'd they disappear to, dagyaa?" Armadimon wondered. I had my suspicions… but I really hope I'm wrong.
"Patamon, evolve and we'll search from the sky." I told him.
"Okay."
"V-mon, we'll evolve too." Daisuke turned to his partner.
"Right!"
"Armadimon." Iori looked to the armadillo Digimon.
"Gotcha, dagyaa!"
P.O.V. – Hikari Yagami
"The fog is getting thicker." Osamu observed as we kept walking. I sadly was getting a pretty good idea of where we were now, but I pray to God I'm wrong for this.
"Hey, how about we sing a song?" Miyako tried to keep up our spirits, but none of us answered her. "Then, how about a word game?" We still said nothing. "Oh, I know! Let's play cards!" She suddenly realized that there was a key thing missing to that idea. "But we didn't bring any cards! Silly me!" She nervously chuckled.
"Miyako-san… let's just… let's just keep walking and stay quiet okay?" Ken kindly asked.
"We may not be going anywhere or be able to go back at this rate." Osamu expressed some dark doubts. I looked over to him.
"Don't worry. As long as we want to go back and someone wants us back, we'll be able to get out of this world." I told him as I tried to keep up hope. Osamu looked back at me and give me a small smile.
"Hikari-chan." Miyako stopped and we turned to look at her. I saw she had a very upset look on her face and it was directed at me. "You're making fun of me, aren't you?" What?
"Of course not…" I defended. I would never do that to her. Tease her, joke around with her, I sometimes do that but I would never be mean like make fun of her.
"You are." She clearly doesn't want to hear my answer.
"I'm not making fun of you." I insisted.
"I know you are!" She huffed and walked past us down the hill.
"Miyako-san…" As she walked a bit in a stern look, I saw up ahead her shoulders slump.
"I did it again… And at a time like this…"
"You did go a bit too far." informed Hawkmon.
She soon came to a stop up ahead.
"Aah, look what I got. It's a dead end…" She looked down. "Huh?" I guess she noticed something. "Hey, isn't that the Holy Ring?" We all quickened our pace and caught up with her.
"The Holy Ring?" I questioned as I looked down a long, black gorge.
"I see it… but it's hard to tell from up here." Ken noticed.
"What do you think, Tailmon?" I asked her.
"I don't know…" She answer. Ken was right, it's too hard to tell from here.
"Holy Ring…? I've seen it somewhere before… I had it in my hands. But I can't really remember what happened afterwards…" thought Osamu.
"Well, I'm gonna take a look." Miyako slowly started to climb down.
"Miyako-san, I'll go." Hawkmon tried to get her to reconsider.
"It's fine, it's fine."
"Don't push yourself, Miyako-san." I said to her.
"It's fine, it's fine…" She repeated before a rock she stepped on gave out on her and she fell! I swiftly grabbed her hand. She looked to me with quite a relived look on her face. "Thanks… Hikari-chan…"
"Miyako-san, are you okay?" Ken and Osamu tried to help me before my eyes widened as I saw that ocean crash against the gorge. Everything soon happened so fast. Ken turned his attention away from us as Osamu suddenly screamed while I let go of the cliff and fell with Miyako. Our Digimon jumped after us as everything went black.
As I woke up, I found that we had landed on a ledge and many of our old wounds and bruises caused from the BlackWarGreymon fight opened up again. I dealt with them as best as I could before trying wake up Miyako.
"Miyako-san… Miyako-san?" Her eyes began to open.
"Hikari-chan!" She exclaimed as she sat up.
"What a relief… are you hurt?"
"I'm fine." She claimed. "Where are we? Right, I was trying to get the Holy Ring…"
"That's what you get for being so reckless." Hawkmon scolded.
"Seems like this was caught." Tailmon showed her a broken Evil Ring. Turns out that's what we saw.
"An Evil Ring…" Miyako looked disappointed with herself. "It wasn't the Holy Ring…"
"Still, I appreciate your concern, Miyako. Thanks." Tailmon smiled at her.
"Tailmon…"
"Let's hurry out of here." I turned our attention back to the problem at hand.
"Right. Hawkmon, evolve!"
"Understood. Hawkmon, evolve!" Nothing… He didn't evolve at all. Oh, this is not good.
"What are you doing?"
"Huh? Strange…" Hawkmon suddenly realized that nothing happened. "I can't evolve."
"Ehh!?" Looks like Miyako is about to panic again. "Why can't you evolve!? How are we going to get out then? Are we going to be stuck here forever?"
"Miyako-san…" Hawkmon tried to calm her down.
"Even if we get out, we'll still be lost in this forest!"
"Miyako…" Now it was Tailmon's turn.
"Daisuke even walked right through me!"
"Miyako-san…" I said.
"Aaah! It's over! We're finished! My life is going to end here!" Something in me finally snapped and I just had to get her to stop… and I slapped her in the face.
P.O.V. – Miyako Inoue
She slapped me. Kind, sweet, always thinking of others Hikari just slapped me. I was in complete shock.
"I'm sorry…" She immediately apologized to me.
"Yeah, me too…" I rubbed my face to relive some of the pain as I guess I was kind of losing it.
"I'll go look for something we may be able to use as a rope." Hawkmon told us.
"Wait for us." Tailmon also planned to help. The two soon went back up the cliff while we just sat here on this ledge.
"Miyako-san, you're a handful sometimes." Hikari admitted to me.
"I knew that's what you thought of me…"
"But… I've always envied that." Come again? Envied? Why would you want to envy me about that? "Because I can't be honest and say I'm scared or scream like you."
"Hikari-chan…"
"Maybe that's why I get trapped in the Dark World…"
"Dark World?"
"I don't want to go there… but I can't avoid it." We were soon interrupted by a large vine that fell in front of us.
"Miyako-san!" "Hikari!" Hawkmon and Tailmon shouted.
"We're finally out…" I nearly cried as we climbed back out.
"I'm sorry, you two. I lost focus for a moment and then…" Ken tried to apologize.
"Um… actually…" Osamu spoke up. "It was my fault. I'm sorry I couldn't help…" He said.
"No, don't worry. You don't like dark places, so…" I guessed what caused his problem. "If you had fallen, it could have been a disaster, with you screaming and all." He looked a bit more guilty. "Ah, but you were once the Digimon Kaiser, so you have the guts, right?"
"Uh, Miyako-san!" Ken cleared his throat as Osamu had even more of a guilty look on his face.
"Oops… Did I make you remember something you didn't want to? Oh, right, the thing that was stuck wasn't the Holy Ring, but an Evil Ring! Misleading, huh? I can't believe it was an Evil Ring… Ah, but I'm not trying to make you feel bad." Ken's face was just a mess, he looked like he was about to yell at me for… okay, maybe I should've stuck my foot in my mouth a bit sooner. Hikari began to giggle. "Don't laugh, Hikari-chan!"
"But…"
"I guess it is funny." I then joined in with her chuckling while Ken just calmed down and Osamu's guilty look went away.
The laughter was soon stopped when Hikari gasped as something clearly caused her to stop. She stood back up and looked towards another direction.
"Hikari-chan? What's wrong?"
"I can hear it… the sound of the waves." She took off running towards the direction she was looking.
"Hikari-chan?" "Hikari-kun!" Ken and I called out to her before following. She eventually came to a stop at another cliff.
"I knew it…" She muttered. "The ocean. They called me here… Again…"
"Hikari!" "Hikari-chan!" "Hikari-kun!" We caught up with her.
"You're right, it's the ocean…" Osamu agreed with her.
"Ocean? I can't see the ocean anywhere." I looked ahead to the large valley of dark trees.
"I mean, it's an ocean of trees… but I don't see any water which you two are probably referring to." Ken agreed with me.
"Why does this ocean keep calling Hikari?" Tailmon growled. "What is out there?"
"Hikari-kun has come to this ocean too?" Osamu questioned. "So it wasn't just me…?"
"Both Hikari-chan…" I said.
"And Onii-san…" Ken finished my sentence.
"Why can't I see it!?" I shouted. All of a sudden, the trees slowly vanished and revealed a large, dark ocean. "Uh, Ken-kun, do you…?"
"Yeah… I see it now too, Miyako-san."
"Something's not right… it's like the world is distorted." claimed Osamu.
"Is it because the force that protects the Digital World is weakening?" I suggested. Osamu quickly looked at me in shock. "That's what Izumi-senpai told us the other day."
"The force that protects the Digital World…"
P.O.V. – Third Person
Mummymon and Archnemon were driving along a road that went through the forest and was highlighted by a long line of Dark Towers. The evil woman looked over to the cliff and saw the four humans and their partners looking distorted.
"Oh? Those kids sure are stupid… They got into a distorted world. Keep driving."
"What?" Mummymon questioned. "Shouldn't we take this opportunity to kill them?"
"Tempting… but I'm more concerned with BlackWarGreymon at the moment. Still, you're right, we shouldn't let this chance go to waste." She pulled out ten of her hairs and let them fly towards the Dark Towers. "I'll leave this to you!" She shouted back at the monster she created and left do deal with the lost children.
P.O.V. – Miyako Inoue
Hikari fell to her knees and grabbed her head.
"I don't want to be here…" She cried.
"Hikari, hang in there!" encouraged Tailmon.
"I want to go home!"
"Don't worry. We'll go home for sure!" I tried to be positive for her. A loud roaring noise soon erupted behind us. We turned around and saw a large blue eye staring at us. "What's that!?" It soon quickly revealed a large plant Digimon.
"That's a Blossomon!" Ken shouted and then I remembered that fight that Takeru and Koushiro had gotten into towards the end of our fight with Osamu. A bright light broke out behind the large Blossomon.
"I can see the forest behind that opening!" Monodramon yelled.
"Now, Miyako-san." Hawkmon turned to me as the light came over us.
"Yeah. You may be able to evolve now!"
"Wormmon!"
"Leave it to me!"
"Monodramon!"
"Just give me the word, Osamu-chan!"
"Hawkmon, evolve! AQUILAMON!" "Wormmon, evolve! STINGMON!" "Monodramon, evolve! STRIKEDRAMON!"
"Hikari!" Tailmon now turned to her partner who held up her D-3… however, Blossomon roared and fear clearly hit Hikari which caused her to drop her D-3 and grab her head again.
"Nooo!" She screamed.
"Hikari!"
"Hikari-chan!" I looked over to her as our Digimon moved to fight Blossomon.
"No… stop it…" Hikari whimpered. "Don't take me away!" She begged.
"Hikari-chan!" I shake her shoulders to try to snap her out of this.
"Strike Claw!" "Spiking Finish!" "Glide Horn!" The Digimon attacked but were quickly knocked back.
"Stingmon!" "Strikedramon!" "Aquilamon!" The Ichijouji brothers and I called out for our Digimon.
"Hikari-chan! Snap out of it!" I shout.
"I hear the voice of the darkness… The darkness is swallowing me… It's over!" I snapped and did the same thing she did to me to earlier when I was breaking down; I slapped her.
"Get a hold of yourself!" I yelled. "If you hear the voice of the darkness, I'll scream! If the darkness is swallowing you, I'll grab your hands and bring you back! You're my best friend Hikari-chan! I'm not going to ever give up on you!" I took her hands. "So don't say it's over!"
"Miyako-san…" She slowly began to calm back down. She then gave me a kind smile. "Thank you." A bright light from above soon began shining down upon us. "Light?" She questioned.
"Yeah. Because you're the light. You're the light that shines through the dark!"
"Miyako is right, Hikari." Tailmon said. Hikari and I looked at each other again and smiled before our D-3s began to glow and so did Tailmon and Aquilamon did too. We quickly realized what it all meant.
"Aquilamon!" "Tailmon!" "Jogress-Evolve! SILPHYMON!"
Silphymon was quite the impressive looking Digimon. She was just about the height of a normal human female with a similar body shape, though that's where things kinda ended. She had Aquilamon like legs, large white arms with power claws for hands and long feathers across her forearms. Finally, she had a human like face that was covered by a large metal visor.
"Tailmon and…" Hikari began to speak.
"…Aquilamon…" I interrupted her.
"…Jogress-Evolved?" Ken and Osamu finished our sentence. Silphymon took a step forward towards Blossomon.
"It's a Dark Tower Digimon, I know it." Her voice was an amalgamation of Tailmon and Aquilamon. "Yes. Let's defeat it." Blossomon's four large vines with teeth shot forward before Silphymon motioned her hands and a large ball of energy formed in it. "Top Gun!" She threw out the attack and destroyed the vines before striking Blossomon; destroying the Dark Tower Digimon as well.
After the massive burst of energy, the forest around us began turning back to normal as the light returned, indicating that we did it and were back in the true Digital World. Silphymon glowed once more and devolved back into two Digimon. One was a small dog, the other was like Poromon but like a newborn bird without it's feathers.
"Plotmon!" Hikari said as the dog ran over to her.
"That there is Pururumon, Miyako." Plotmon explained as I went over to pick him up; extremely proud of what he just did.
"Silphymon?" Iori questioned as we finished explaining everything to the others once they found us.
"I see! So Hikari-chan's Jogress partner was Miyako!" Guessing Daisuke was a little relieved to discover that; I would've loved to seen his reaction if it was Takeru and not me as her Jogress partner.
"Well, I think we'll be going now." Osamu said as he turned around and walked away.
"If you don't mind, Onii-san, I'll stay with the others for a bit longer." Ken told him which cause Osamu to wave in a way of saying 'Got it.'
"I think I understand Osamu-san a little better now." I spoke up before turning back to Hikari. "And… Hikari-chan too." She looked up to see Takeru with a hurt look on his face.
"I thought you had gone to some unknown world again… that I lost you for good this time." He whispered that last part so Daisuke couldn't hear but I did… though I didn't bother him about it. Hikari shook her head to his fears.
"I'm fine now. I'll never go there again." She looked over to me before turning back to Takeru. "Never again."
Yeah, that's right; as long as we're together as a team, that won't happen again, Hikari...
Well, I wouldn't say never, Hikari... thought that depends what the upcoming movie next year does.
I've got nothing more to truly add to this one so all of you take care.
"Push the button, Frank."
