Thchaosmaster: Look, I would do something weird, funny, or all around, psychotic, but it is almost 10:00pm when I am writing this. Please note that I have just finished this chapter. And before I forget, Kurivolt..

Kurivolt: Howdy, boss. You know, it's not nice to keep these guys and girls waiting a month to bring up another chaper.

Chaos: Yeah, I know, but that is why I am doing it now. Now, before you lot read this chapter, please note, that I have done some, expermenting with this chapter. I have decided to change the point of view rapidly, now then, I have an Authors Note in the story, you could possibly see it right now, but, well, that is all that I have. And I must say, it feel good to be back. Kurivlt!

Kurivolt: On it! THechaosmaster does not own the rights to Digimon ot it's character, if he did, this would kind of be a real thing, but we don't want to wast any more time, so, ACTION!

Chapter 21: Matt's Icy Awakening

"Although my heart may be weak, it's not alone. It's grown with each new experience, and it's found a home with all the friends I've made. I've become a part of their heart just as they've become a part of mine. And if they think of me now and then...if the don't forget me...then our hearts will be one. I don't need a weapon. My friends are my power!" Sora, Kingdom Hearts.

(A/N: I had begun writing this chapter from only Lukes point of view, but then I had realized that I would end up making this chapter very short, so, in order to correct this, I have decided to write the beginning of this chapter from Matt's point of view, then continue onwards from Luke's. Let me know if you would like to see this again for No Questions Please, let me know down in the reviews. The only reason is because, well, I want to make it so these chapters are longer than four thousand words. Especially with the eight thousand word chapter from last time. Anyways, on with the show!)

Hey guys, Luke here. We had finally returned to the Digital World, but it seemed that a lot has happened since we left. DemiDevimon had tricked TK into thinking all of our friends didn't like him, and grew annoyed with him, plus he also made him and Tokomon fight, which led to TK throwing away his Digivice and his Tag and Crest as well. And while TK played with DemiDevimon, and when we found him, he looked so depressed, but once he saw us, he became overjoyed, so much so, that both he and Tokomon made up and became friends once again. But then DemiDevimon tried to sabotage that by trying to trick all of us into eating some kind of strange mushrooms, ones that would make us forget who we were.

Luckily, however, it seemed that Sora and Biyomon were in the neighborhood and saved us just in the nick of time. And that was when TK and Patamon worked together and sent that little devil flying. Man, it's good to be back.

***Matt's POV***

It started shortly after Tai, Luke, Olette and their Digimon disappeared, and right after I went to search for the other kids. Me and Gabumon took a swan boat and had to leave TK and Tokomon back at the Amusement Park, and we traveled across the seas, once we reached land, however, that was when things got tricky.

Once we had gotten off the boat, me and Gabumon looked around, but we couldn't see any signs of our friends. 'Heh, times like these I wish that I had some kind of cool power that could help me find the others, Luke's lucky, he could just as easily use his Hyperchip Modify card, and search for the others in a blink of the eye. But he's not here, and I am, so I have to make do. Meaning, we will have to do this the old fashioned way.'

I thought to myself. In all honesty, I am kind of jealous of Luke, the way he could bounce back from things, and just do something that people would call insane, and have it work out for him.

Then, as I was thinking about what Luke would do, I heard Gabumon ask, "Where are we, Matt? Don't tell me we're lost again."

I hated to admit it, but we were, but because I didn't want to worry Gabumon, I simply said, "Okay, I won't. But just take a look at that ridge up there." As I spoke, I pointed up on to the hill side.

Gabumon looked up and asked, "Where?" Then he saw the three Digimon that were walking up the mountain, and he said, "Hey, other Digimon."

We watched as a Monzaemon, Frigimon, and Kokatorimon, all walking up the side of the mountain, then I said, "I say we follow them wherever they're going and hope they're not lost, too."

Gabumon nodded and we walked up the mountain and followed them. As we walked up the mountain, I turned and saw something that was strange and said, "Huh. Now that's weird." Indeed, because we saw a restaurant on a mountain clearing. Then I said, "A restaurant in the middle of nowhere? That's new."

Then I heard Gabumon say, "The perfect location for hungry Digimon."

Then I said, "Or for a trap."

Gabumon then said, "You've been around Luke for too long, Matt. I doubt that this could be a trap."

I nodded in agreement, then I said, "Yeah, you're right. But then again, I am starting to consider what Luke use to say."

Gabumon then looked at me and asked, "You mean that anything could be considered a trap?"

I chucked, hearing it from Gabumon makes it sound just as crazy as when Luke said it. Then I nodded and said, "Yeah, that's it. Even though he is keeping our future a secret from us, I can actually understand his reasoning for it. If we knew what was to happen, and we didn't like it, chances are, we would want to change it ourselves, and in doing so, we could make our future that much worse." I chuckled and said, "Great, now I'm sounding like Luke. Let's just hope that I don't end up as crazy as he is, one lunatic is enough for our group."

As we were laughing, we walked up to the restaurant, but we stopped when we heard a voice shout out from behind the door, "BUSBOY, GO GET SOME NEW CUSTOMERS!"

Then the restaurant doors were thrown open as Gomamon was thrown out and down the stairs. I blinked a few times before shrugging, but just as I was about to enter the restaurant, my mind caught up with what I had just saw and turned and said, "Wait, what? Gomamon? Is that you?" I turned and asked.

Yep, that was Gomamon alright. 'But what is he doing here?' I asked myself.

Then Gabumon ran up to our friend and asked, "Gomamon, are you okay?"

Gomamon looked up at Gabumon and asked, "Gabumon...and Matt! Is Joe ever going to be happy to see you two."

Gomamon then led us to the back of the dinner and there we found Joe, who was wearing an apron, and, was cooking? 'Okay, something's off about this.' I thought to myself.

Then Joe looked up from his cooking and said, "Hey, Matt."

I waved at Joe and said, "Hey, Joe. Where have you been and what are you doing here?" Seriously, here we are searching for our friends, and Joe goes and gets himself a job?

Joe then started to rub his head, then he started speaking, "Well, you see, I..."

Then I said, "First Sora left, then we had to split up, so you left, then Mimi and Izzy, they both left, then TK and I were left alone."

Joe then sadly looked down and said, "I know. Well, it started when we all went our separate ways to look for Tai and the others. I wasn't lost."

***POV Change, Joe Kido***

I definitely knew where I wasn't, but I just didn't know where exactly where I was. I think. That was when we came across this small Digimon calling himself DemiDevimon.

"You're lost, aren't you?" DemiDevimon asked us.

Of course, he was behind me when he asked that and I jumped in surprise, "Ahh!" Then I turned around and said, "Why did you sneak up on me? Who are you?"

Then he chuckled and he said, "Just a friend. I thought you'd like to know I saw some other humans just like you nearby."

I was actually glad to hear this, then I asked, "You say you saw my friends? Which way?"

Then DemiDevimon took to the sky and started flying in a direction, then he said, "This way, but we got to hurry before we lose them."

Me and Gomamon then chased after him, but I was feeling tired and I tried to tell DemiDevimon to slow down, but he just wouldn't listen to me. Not to mention that I was sure he was leading us the wrong way, especially with how many traps that we have been led into before. But, who was I to question him? It's not like I knew my way around. Eventually we ended up at this restaurant, which at the time was good, because we were starving.

After we had stuffed our faces, we felt like we would explode, "Boy, I wish my mom cooked that good." I told Gomamon in my bliss of a full stomach.

To which he replied with, "Delicious."

That was when things went bad. We went to our waiter, Vegimon and he said, "And now, the bill."

I really should have asked what kind of payment they accepted before we ordered, because I tried to pay him with some Digi-Dollars, and said, "Of course, this should be enough."

But when he saw the money, he yelled at me and asked, "What are you, some kind of comedian, pal?"

That was when we realized that our money wasn't good here, when a Numemon jumped on the counter and said, "Here you go, Vegimon."

And when he jumped off the counter my eyes bulged at seeing money, real human money. 'Oh, boy. That's bad. I don't have any real money on me.' I blinked a couple of times, then I asked, "Dollar bills?"

Vegimon yelled at me, asking, "What did you expect?"

I was panicking here, then I said, "Well, I was, um...All I have are Digi-Dollars." 'Oh, boy, this is not going to end well.' I thought to myself.

And boy, was I ever right. Then Vegimon folded his vines and asked, "Some play money is all you have?"

I knew that moment I heard Vegimon's tone that I was doomed. I could see it now, I was going to be the next meal, oh boy, oh no. I was panicking, I felt like my heart was going to burst from my chest and run away.

Then Vegimon said, "So, what I'm hearing is you actually thought I'd let you eat without paying!?"

*** Returning to Matt's POV***

Then I asked, "And now he's making you cook he food to pay him back." It sounded fair. Work to pay off the food you ate.

But then Joe looked down and said, "When I'm not doing dishes or scrubbing the toilets."

Then Vegimon burst through the kitchen doors and yelled out, "Hey, what's going on here!? I'm not getting richer with you chitchattering!" Joe didn't respond, so Vegimon yelled out, "What? You want me to say pretty please!? Dish out that stew!"

Then Joe panicked and returned to what he was doing and said, "Okay, all right, quit yelling or you're going to make me spill this all over my pants." He said as he poured the stew into a plate.

Vegimon took the stew and said, "Heh, about time." Vegimon then looked over to me and Gabumon and asked, "Who are these jokers?"

I saw this as an opportunity to try to get Joe out of his debt, then I said, "We're friends of Joe and Gomamon."

Then Vegimon said, "Well, whoopty-do and good for you." Then Vegimon took a bite out of Joe's stew, but before he did, he took a whiff of it, and in a rage, he threw the stew against the wall and said, "Ahh! Disgusting! I can't give that to my customers!"

Joe looked down, fear clear on his face as he said, "Um, but I-"

Then Vegimon yelled out, "Now you'll work an extra day for the ingredients you wasted."

Then I watched as Joe literally paled as he asked, "Another day?"

I saw how pale Joe got, and I knew that couldn't be good. Then I asked, "One more day? On top of how long, Joe?"

Joe then looked at me sadly, then he said, "Well, you see, it was only supposed to be for three days, but I kept on making mistakes, and it got longer." I watched as Joe practically started crying as he said, "Now I'm up to over six weeks."

Ouch. Then Vegimon yelled out, "And he still owes me for all the wasted food, not to mention the broken dishes!"

That was when I met the boss of this establishment, because just then, a Digimon walked in looking like a giant DigiEgg, with greed dinosaur feet, red claws, and a broken part of the shell, where the eyes peered through. Then the egg asked, in a voice that reminded me of a cartoon version of Frankenstein's loyal servant, or some kind of movie villain, "What's all the commotion in here. The customers are complaining!"

We didn't know it yet, but Digitamamon was an evil Digimon, fully Digivolved and protected by his Digi-Eggshell. Digitamamon then walked up to us, then I asked, "Excuse me, are you the restaurant owner? My friend's been working like crazy to pay off one lousy meal. Can't he go now?"

I saw the glare that Digitamamon was giving me, then he asked, "Are you kidding me? This guy's not going anywhere. Of course, if you stay and work with him to help pay off his debt."

I was taken back by this, and I asked, "Who, me?"

Then Digitamamon walked out the door and said, "If you won't help him, then just go away." As he jumped down the steps, he said, "You're no use to me."

Then I heard Joe complain as he said, "I feel ill. I'm allergic to kitchen work."

The lack of motivation in Joe's voice was really depressing, then I asked, "What are you saying?"

Joe then hunched over as he said, "Oh, just never mind."

As much as I would love to help this guy, I can't leave TK alone any longer, I have been gone long enough and I don't want to leave him at that park by himself any longer then he has been. I then stared to head out the door and I told Joe, "Look, I've got to go and find TK, but after I do, we'll come back here and help you work off your debt, okay?"

Joe looked at me in surprise and he asked, "Really? You will?"

I nodded and said, "That's what friends do. They help each other out. Tai would do the same, so will Luke. We're a team, we help each other out, no matter how tough things are."

When I said that, Joe actually started crying and he said, "I'll always remember this, Matt."

I smiled then I headed out and said, "Well, I'll see you when we get back, Joe, take care. Come on, Gabumon."

Gabumon nodded and said, "Make sure Joe stays out of trouble, Gomamon."

As we were walking to our boat, we then heard a voice call out, "Where are you going?" Both me and Gabumon turned and saw that Digitamamon was running up to us, then he said, "You're not finished, I checked the schedule."

I blinked in confusion, then I asked, "Schedule?"

Then Digitamamon angrily said, "The work schedule. Now get inside and start cocking, or you're fired."

'Is this guy for real?' I asked myself. Fine then, I'll play his game. "I quit. How's that?" I asked the Egg Digimon.

That must have rattled the egg, because he threw a tamper as he said, "You can't quit! I say you stay!"

Okay, this guy was starting to annoy me, then I asked, "What's the big deal, egghead? I'm coming right back. Besides, you already got a slave working in your kitchen."

Then Digitamamon turned and said, "Oh, I see. So you don't care what happens to your friend while you're gone. Selfish, aren't we?"

Something was up with this guy. "What are you talking about?" Yeash, one minute this guy wants me out of his restaurant, now he's trying to make me work there?

Then the talking egg said, "I'm just saying, while you're away, there's no telling what might happen to your poor little friend. So many accidents can happen in the kitchen, you know."

Okay, now this guy is getting on my nerves. "Is that a threat?" I gritted my teeth at this egg, who does he think he is, threatening my friends.

Then Gabumon tried to calm me down, "Easy, Matt. He's already cracked."

But I was still angry at this punk. "Hmm..." As much as I didn't like this, I had to protect Joe, whatever it takes.

But I soon found out, that Joe is annoying, no matter where he is. "This water's hot. If I had some rubber gloves, my fingers wouldn't get all wrinkled."

'Man, does Joe have to complain about everything?' I sighed, trying to keep my cool, but Joe isn't helping me.

Speaking of Joe, he then asked me, "So, hey, what are you making over there?" But I didn't answer him, then he asked, "Is there some reason you're not talking to me? I mean, I know you think I can be irritating sometimes, Rouge won't stop commenting about it, and Luke would always tell me it to my face, but what gives? Matt?"

I couldn't answer him, strictly because Digitamamon's threat still lingered in my mind. "So many accidents can happen in the kitchen. So many accidents. Ha ah ha ah ha ha!"

'As annoying as Joe is, I can't leave him here alone.' I thought to myself.

That was when I heard Joe ask, "Did you hear me? Hello? Digital World to Matt. Come in, Matt."

'Although, he does talk a lot. Man, I am beginning to miss Rouge. As annoying as she can be with her name calling and zero respect for all of us, she was the only one who could actually get Joe to shut up.' I thought bitterly to myself.

That was when he asked me, "Weren't you going to go get TK? If you want to leave, that's all right with me."

'All right, that does it.' I turned to Joe and yelled out, "I decided not to go!" Man, can't Joe take a hint?

Joe then sadly said, "Hey, wow, I'm sorry if I said something to make you mad."

After I went back to cooking, I realized what it was that I said to Joe. "Huh?" I said in surprise. 'Man, I can't believe what a jerk I'm being. Joe's just trying to be nice, and make some small talk, and here I am, bitting off his head.' I then took a deep breath, to try and calm my nerves, something that Luke has talked about in passing every once in a while, now I can see how he is able to always keep his calm. Then, while still looking at the food I was making, I said, "Hey, I'm sorry." Joe was taken back by this, then I said, "I didn't mean to yell at you, okay? I guess I was just thinking about something else."

Joe then softly said, "Oh, yeah."

I turned to him and smiled, then I said, "Anyways, I'm a really good cook. Everything would go faster if we work together. And then we'll be out of here in no time."

Joe then sweated a little, then he said, "All right. I guess that sounds like a plan."

Then Gomamon said, "I make a mean PB and J, you know."

"And I'm an expert at boiling water." Gabumon said.

Joe then looked a little more relaxed as he said, "All right, then, we can do it."

I smiled, then asked, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get to work!" But then as I turned back to the pot, I glared and thought, 'Hang on, TK. I got to solve this first. Tai, Luke, Olette, wherever you three are, please hurry back. I just want someone I can trust to look after TK.'

But, as the days went by, more and more trouble headed our way. It seemed like no matter what I did, Joe would always end up messing something up. From dropping plates that costed us three more days, to Joe accidentally burning someones meal, that costed us another week. It seemed like no matter how hard I worked, Joe would always cost us more and more days here. I swear, I'm beginning to wonder if Joe is actually this clumsy, or what.

And every time our days get extended, the shorter and shorter my limit becomes. Then I heard Joe say, "Boy, oh, boy. I don't understand why I'm so accident prone. Okay, maybe balancing plates on a platter isn't one of my natural skills, but now it seems worse than ever. Sorry, Matt."

While I was stirring up some soup, I thought to myself, 'Something just isn't right about this. Yeah, Joe is a bit of a klutz, but not even he is this accident prone. Something just doesn't add up.'

But then I heard a plate crash and I tightly gripped the soup spoon I was holding and thought, 'Then again...' I turned and glared at Joe, who had once again dropped another plate full of food.

Then Joe said, "That did it. I snapped."

I slowly turned to my soup and said, "Mm-hmm." I was really getting angry at Joe right now. Then I slowly said, "It's okay. Don't worry about it." I was really getting frustrated here. Either something is wrong, or Joe is doing this on purpose. 'Half of what I cook ends up on the floor, and the other half is on his clothes. This job is giving me a killer headache. Please tell me this all just a bad dream. Yeah, that's it, it's just a dream. When MetalGreymon and DoruGreymon destroyed Etemon, I was just knocked out, and I have been stuck in a dream. Okay, I'm going to count to ten, and when I open my eyes, I will see the others, and I won't be stuck here with Joe. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten.' Then I opened my eyes, and to my disapointment, I was still in this restaurant. 'Nope, not a dream, just a waking nightmare.' I sighed in annoyance.

Then as the night started to come, I looked towards Joe and said, "Bring me some potatoes, will you, Joe?"

Joe turned to me and said, "All right, coming right up!"

***Point of View change, Sora***

So, here we are, watching as Joe and Matt suffer at the hands of DemiDevimon and Digitamamon. Biyomon looked to me and said, "Sora, I don't like this."

I nodded and said, "Neither do I, Biy. Neither do I."

We were then forced to watch as DemiDevimon removed a brick from the bench holding the potatoes, then as DemiDevimon flew off, I looked to Biyomon and nodded, then I quietly ran up to the potatoes, then I replaced the brick that was missing, then I returned to our hiding spot behind a silo to watch what would happen.

Then Biyomon looked to me and asked, "Think it will work?"

I turned to her and said, "Quiet, Biyomon."

I turned to the top of the tree and watched as DemiDevimon gritted his teeth, I then turned to Biyomon and smiled, "All's going good."

But Biyomon looked down sadly, then she asked, "Sora, are we doing the right thing?"

I blinked in surprise, and asked, "Huh? What do you mean, Biy? Of course we are. We're keeping Matt and Joe from being slaves for the rest of their lives."

But Biyomon shook her head, then she said, "No, not that. I mean, hiding from our friends. Do you really think that we are doing the right thing by staying in the shadows?"

I could see what Biy was talking about, then I sat down and said, "It's the least we can do. It's what we have to do. Without Tai and Luke, the whole team just fell apart. We have to do what we can to keep Matt and Joe from being at each other's throat. You know that, Biyomon."

Biyomon looked down sadly, then she said, "Yeah, but, Why can't we go and help them in person? Why must we stick to the shadows?"

Now I see. I looked down at my Crest Of Love, then I said, "Because, sometimes the best way to help out your friends, and not get them into trouble, is to stick to the shadows. That's what Luke taught me, remember?"

Biyomon nodded, then she said, "Yes, but remember how torn up he was when his secret was revealed to us by Devimon? It looked like he had died. Sticking to the shadows is a good way to help our friends, but at what cost? Are we really doing the right thing? Are we really protecting our friends? Or are we just protecting ourselves?"

As much as I hated to admit it, she was right, but, I can't bring myself to show my face to them yet. I once again looked down at my Crest and thought, 'After all, I'll never be able to use my Crest, anyway. Not in the way that Luke has been able to do. I mean, his determination to protect all of us, has granted him the ability to do things beyond human nature. I don't think I could ever be able to do that. And no mater what Biyomon says to me, I just can't bring myself to believe that I know what love it. I really don't know what love really is. Luke and Olette do, but not me.'

That was when I heard a women's voice say, "You really don't believe that, do you?" I didn't even react at the voice, I may not know who she is, I have been hearing her voice for a while now, and while I want to agree with her, I can't bring myself to accept what she has told me, "Love is more than just an emotion, more than your Crest. It's power, it's joy, hope, and it is stronger than you could ever believe, and you have that power within you. I know you do, Sora. You just have to believe in yourself."

I shook my head in denial, then I thought, 'But I can't. Love is just something I know nothing about. I don't know who you are, but as much as I would like to agree with you, I can't bring myself to believe that I know what love is.'

Then I felt a small warmth coming from inside my heart, as Tai's big stupid grinning face suddenly appeared, then the voice said, "Do you really believe that, Sora?"

I couldn't answer the voice, mostly because, I didn't know what to say, Tai and Luke rushed through the pyramid to save me. 'Is that really what love is?' I asked myself, and while I was actually hoping to hear the woman's voice again, this time, she didn't answer me. I sat down and clutched my knees and softly whispered, "Tai." Then I remembered when I first obtained my Crest. 'The Crest Of Love. The Crest of the Eternal Flame. The Crest of The Phoenix. Just what does that even mean?'

***Returning to Matt's POV***

After finishing up our shift for the day, I decided to return to the boat to sit at the beach. I looked up at the night sky, and began to think. 'Man, who would have thought that Luke was right about the beauty of the night sky.' I looked towards the swan boat that brought me here, and I can't believe it.

'It's been almost a week since Tai and Luke vanished and we still don't know where they went. And TK. I just hope he and Patamon are having fun. Yeah, I know they are. Heh, I bet they are have a blast.' But then I felt a tear build up in my eyes, then I thought, 'Oh, who am I kidding? TK's probably worried sick about me. Poor little guy. I really am jealous about how he, Tai, and Luke all seem to get along, but I just can't bring myself to hate them, they've lived together all their lives, but me and TK?'

I shook my head, then I took out my harmonica and started to play music. It was like how I was feeling, sad and depressing. And I guess I got lost in my own music, because I got spooked, not that I'll ever tell anyone, but a voice coming from behind me. "That's a beautiful sound."

I jumped a little, then I turned and saw a small bat like creature, and said, "Huh? Where'd you come from?"

Then the little critter said, "I was just passing by when I heard the sound of your music. You're very good. I'm a bat Digimon. We have good hearing. And it sounds as if you're worried about something."

I was surprised at this, then I asked, "How could you tell?"

Then the little bat said, "A musical instrument often reflects the feelings of the person who's playing it." As he spoke, I could feel that he was right, but I was also getting the feeling that I shouldn't trust this guy. Then he said, "Your music sounds sad, so I figure that you're sad about something. I wonder if you're hurting yourself to help out a friend."

Then I looked down at the sea and I asked, "And How would you know?"

Then the bat looked down and in a sad voice, he said, "Well, it's obvious what's happening at the restaurant. I see what your friend is up to."

Okay, why is this guy giving me a bad feeling now? I turned to the bat and asked, "What are you talking about?" Seriously, first this mon seemed like a cool mon, but now it feels like I'm being led into a trap. I shook my head and thought, 'I really have been hanging out with Luke for too long. Now I am starting to think that everything is a trap.'

Then the little bat closed his eyes, and he softly said, "I think he's making those mistakes on purpose."

Okay, this can't be true, then I voiced my opinion, and said, "He can't be."

Then he nodded and said, "I know it's hard to believe, but I think it's true. He's trying to keep you here, just so you won't leave him there alone."

I looked down and said, "No, that can't be true. Not him. Joe would never do that to me." But I couldn't bring myself to believe my own words, no matter how much I believe them to be true, this little bat seemed to be making me doubt myself.

Then the bat said, "You're a nice guy. But remember. Nice guys wind up washing dishes for the rest of their lives!"

I looked back down to the boat and said, "Joe? Can't be. Or, could it?" I looked down at my Crest of Friendship and thought, 'Is Joe really abusing our friendship, just to keep me here?'

Once the day started, I asked Digitamamon to let me go look for my little brother, but he wouldn't let me. Then I said, "Listen, I promise you I'll come back. You just have to let me go and get my little brother."

But this cracked egg wouldn't listen to me, he said, "Oh, I can't do that."

Grr, what is the deal with this mon, I was literally begging to go look for TK, but he wouldn't let me search for him. "Please. It's really important."

Digitamamon turned away and said, "No! Now get cooking before the customers start complaining."

I was really getting annoyed at this, it seems like no matter what I tried, this Digimon wouldn't let me leave, even though I would be gone for a day. But then things went worse.

I heard Joe call out, and then I heard the sound glass breaking, I turned and saw that all of the plates had just finished cleaning, were now broken on the floor. Then Digitamamon became enraged and he said, "Not more plates! That's another week for the both of you!"

I was getting angry, so I turned and asked, "What are you talking about? I can't stay here another week. I've got places to go."

Digitamamon angrily said, "You'll stay, all right. And no tips!"

I knelt down and asked, "Joe, why are you doing this?"

Joe then asked, "Me? What? Do you think I'm doing this on purpose? You think I'm juggling plates while I'm washing them? Something tripped me."

Now, if I was calm and collected, I would have believed him, but I couldn't, my worry over my brother was blinding me, then I exclaimed, "Quite making up excuses!" Then I stood up and stormed out of the restaurant.

But just as I was leaving, I heard Joe say, "I'm not!" But I couldn't believe him, no matter what he says.

***POV Change, Lukas Kamiya***

We were walking through the forest looking for our friends, then TK said, "I'm getting hungry."

I nodded then I looked around, using my seismic sense and searched the area, then I said, "Yeah, the coast is clear, I think we can rest here for a bit. after we eat, we can continue on our search for the others."

We all agreed, then as Olette and Rouge worked together to grab some fresh apples, I turned to my brother and asked, "Hey, Tai, I have a question."

Tai looked at me and said, "I'm listening."

I took another bite out of my apple, then I threw the rest to Dorumon, who ate it with one bite, then I summoned my shield and said, "How about you and I do some training?" Tai looked at me in confusion, I sighed then said, "Look, I know that we have to look for our friends, but now that we have our powers, we too, must fight for what is right. And while I am confident in my skills, I noticed that you never really use your sword other than to unleash a wave of flames. And noting else. True you haven't really had the need to do so, but I think it would be best if you were to train in actual sword combat."

I saw Tai raise an eyebrow as he asked, "And how can you teach me? I seem to remember that you mostly use a crossbow, or in some cases a bowgun, how can that teach me how to use a sword?"

I looked to TK, then at Olette, then finally at Tai, then I said, "Tai. Have you completely forgotten about my other weapon Modify Card?" I then pulled out the card and said, "Leomon's Beast Sword, Activate!" Then my Modify Card began glowing then in my hands was Leomon's sword, then I said, "I have used this sword enough times to be somewhat proficient at it. And I can give you some tips on how to properly fight using it."

Tai seemed to understand me, then he said, "Well, okay, might as well use this time wisely." Tai then out stretched his hand, and in a flash of fire, he was now holding his sword.

Tai nodded at me, then I took up a fighting stance, then I said, "Right now, we will start out with your offensive capabilities. I will be on the defensive, and you will have to break through my guard. I want to know if you can truly take on a powerful Digimon, without having to wast so much energy using your element."

Tai then took a fighting stance mirroring my own, then he asked, "Wasting so much energy using my element? What do you mean?" Tai then charged at me, sword held up high, ready to strike.

Just as his sword came down on me, I lifted the Beast Sword up, and blocked his attack, then as I lifted my sword up, and launched Tai back, then I said, "You may not notice it at first, and while I can't say the same about myself, I know that, just by practicing using my element, that it takes a lot out of me. And I know for a fact that you must feel that exhaustion, maybe not at first, but if you only focus on one aspect of your power, you will tire out quickly, and then you'll be useless."

Tai then took a few breaths, then he ran at me again, this time slashing at me repeatedly, then he said, "Yeah? Then how come you can fire off arrow after arrow of you attacks, and not be drained, huh, Luke?"

As he spoke, I blocked every possible attack that I could, and those that I wasn't quick enough with my sword, I blocked with my shield, then I said, "Because, using my Modify Cards also tires me out, and I have learned to increase, not only my stamina, thanks to the Hyperchip card, or my limit of how many arrows I can fire, but also my strategic mind." I said as I countered each and every attack Tai had made, then I said, "With each Modify Card, I have to have a goal of what it is I need to do. I wouldn't activate my Dark Archery card to fight someone who is more of a up close and personal kind of fighter, and I wouldn't use Leomon's Beast Sword to fight a flying opponent. You need to learn when to use your abilities at the proper time. And you must also learn how to combine our powers as well."

As we were conversing, I think that Tai was starting to improve, it wasn't by a huge margin, but it was impressive. Then I saw Tai's sword begin to glow, then he moved his sword over his chest, and as he extended his blade, he called out, "Amaterasu's Inferno!"

And sent a huge wave of flames at me, as I saw the flames rushing towards me, I couldn't help myself as to smile as I thought, 'Now you are understanding the concept of using your weapon and your element together. So, you think this will work, Susanoo?'

At that moment, Susanoo replied with, "I do believe that it will, all you have to do, is clear your mind, and call out to the earth, then, it should respond to you."

I gave Susanoo a mental nod as I watched as the fire rushed towards me, but then I did what Susanoo told me to do. I cleared my mind, and I called out to the earth, and I could feel it respond to me, then I opened my eyes, and just as the fire was about to hit me, I called out, "Susanoo's Earth Guardian!" Then the ground above me shot straight up, and stopped the fire, dead in it's tracks.

After the smoke cleared, I smirked, and lowered the earth and saw the exhausted form of Tai, then I said, "Well, I guess that we're both improving, wouldn't you agree, Tai?" Even though I am not exhausted, I am slightly winded. Using my Earth element is not as easy as using my shield, crossbow, or even my Modify Cards. Speaking of which, I dismissed both the sword, and my shield.

Then I said, "Okay, how do you feel, Tai?"

Tai seemed to get his bearings, then he said, "I'm fine. What about you, Luke?"

I rubbed my nose, then I said, "Just slightly winded, nothing to be concerned about."

I was about to say more, when the sounds of beeping went off, all sense of joy and relaxation was gone, then TK asked, "What's that sound?"

Olette, Rouge, and Dorumon all ran up to us, then we all looked at our Digivices, and Tai said, "Our Digivices are going off again."

Then Agumon said, "Then that must mean that our friends are nearby."

Dorumon nodded and said, "He's right. They did the same thing when we found TK."

Olette smiled, then she asked, "Do you think that Matt is nearby?"

TK smiled and said, "Yeah! Maybe we can find my brother!"

Tai then said, "And some real food. Don't get me wrong, apples are nice and all, but I can go for something hot."

And so, we saw a trail that led up a mountain, and we proceeded to follow it. Then we saw a restaurant, we all were excited. Then we ran at top speeds for the building. But once we opened the door, we were surprised to find, "Gomamon?" I asked in surprise.

Then TK said, "Gabumon."

Gomamon smiled and said, "TK. Tai."

"As well as Luke and Olette!" Gabumon replied with a smile.

TK then ran up to Gabumon while saying, "If you're here, then that must mean that my brother's here, too."

Then Rouge said, "Same thing with Mister Complainer."

Olette looked down at Gomamon and asked, "Is that right, Gomamon?"

Gomamon nodded and he said, "You'll be correct. But..."

Me and Olette saw that something was bothering Gomamon, then we both asked, "Gomamon, what's wrong?"

Gomamon looked sad, then he said, "Joe can tell you about it."

We all blinked, then Tai asked, "Joe?"

Gomamon nodded and said, "Yeah, he's in the back, come follow me."

And so we followed Gomamon into the back, and there we saw, Joe Kido. Joe then asked, "Oh, Gomamon, are you and Gabumon done in the front?" He then turned around and was surprised to see us. "Tai, Luke, Olette! I'm so glade to see you guys."

Rouge then cleared her throat while looking at her claws, then Joe said, "Oh, and girls."

Rouge smiled and said, "That's better."

Then Joe said, "Please don't break anything."

Tai simply nodded, then he said, "Sure, but, what are you doing here?"

TK smiled and said, "Joe, it's great to see you, but where's Matt?"

I looked around and nodded, then I asked, "Yeah, where is Matt."

Joe frowned, then he said, "Oh, um, Matt's around back?"

TK chuckled and ran outside while calling out, "Matt?"

Once TK was outside, we all looked towards Joe and my brother asked, "So, what are you guys doing here?"

Joe didn't answer right away, but I looked around, then I saw the apron and asked, "Joe, are you working here?"

Joe didn't answer me, but I shrugged, and said, "Look, I'm going to talk to Matt, you guys can stay here and chat if you want to, it's not like we've got anywhere to go at the moment. Come on, O, Rouge, Doru."

We all walked outside and quickly followed after TK, we noticed that Matt was distracted at the sky that he didn't even hear TK run up to him, at least, not until TK was in Matt's face. "Hi, Matt."

Matt sat straight up and said, "Oh, TK."

We decided to let the brothers have their moment, then TK said, "I thought I'd never see you again."

Matt was surprised, then he asked, "Hey, kid, are you okay?"

TK smiled, then I turned and saw that Tai was behind me, then TK said, "I'm great now that we're together again."

Matt then asked, "Wait a minute. How did you even get here?"

I cleared my throat, then I said, "Well, Matt, good to see you again."

Matt quickly turned and we watched as his eyes widened, "Luke? Tai? Olette? You're back?"

I smiled and said, "Yep, and boy is it good to be back."

Tai then said, "So, it seems like something weird is going on around here."

Matt chuckled and said, "Yeah, you could say we got ourselves into some hot water."

Tai chuckled and said, "Oh, a cooking joke, have you been taking notes from Luke?"

Matt didn't answer and instead, he looked down to TK and said, "I'm really sorry I didn't come back and keep my promise to get you, TK."

TK just smiled and said, "That's okay. I'm sure you would have if you could have, Matt."

Matt closed his eyes and said, "Anyhow, you're here, and that's what counts."

Tai shook his head, and as Joe walked out, Tai said, "No, what counts is that we get out of this weirdo place, and quick."

Gabumon than asked, "What, run away?"

Rouge nodded and said, "He's right, Captain Cold."

Tai nodded and said, "Of course run away. I don't see any guards around here."

I nodded and said, "Yeah, plus, we have to search for Izzy, Mimi, and Sora."

Matt looked away and said, "I don't want to."

We were shocked, then Olette asked, "What? But, why not, Matt?"

Matt closed his eyes and he said, "I'll leave when I'm ready. Anyway, I am not going anywhere with Joe." Joe actually seemed surprised at this, then Matt said, "He doesn't want to work together. He only cares about himself."

I stomped up to Matt and asked, "And what does that mean, Captain Cold?"

Matt looked at me for a second, then he turned his head and anger, that was when Tai yelled out, "How dare you say that? We're all friends here!"

Matt then stood up and he said, "Right. What friends? Oh, you mean this guy who deliberately wrecks everything to keep me here cooking rice until I'm an old geezer?"

This took all of by surprise, then Tai yelled out, "Hey, back off!"

And I said, "Yeah, take it easy, Matt!"

Then Matt lashed out and said, "What bout you, big shot? And you, Mr. Crossbow? Or you, Miss Ghost? You three are the ones who got us separated in the first place?"

TK then gripped Matt's hand, and cried out, "Matt, stop yelling! Aren't you glad..."

That was when Matt said, "Be quite, TK!"

We were all surprised, but I was glaring, then Matt said, "Just be quite and come with me."

That was when we all heard a voice call out, "Well, well, well, you weren't planning on running away, now, were you? That would make me very angry."

We all turned and saw a large egg walking into the clearing, I gritted my teeth and said, "Wonderful, Digitamamon." I cracked my knuckles and said, "So, you're the head honcho around here, huh?"

That was when we heard a very familiar voice said, "Yes, that would be a very bad idea."

Then Joe asked, "Hey isn't that..."

Then me and TK shouted out, "DemiDevimon!"

Then Dorumon said, "That's the evil Digimon who tricked TK into thinking Matt abandoned him!"

This caused Matt to yell out, "You lied!"

Then Joe said, "You lied to me to get me to come here," Then Joe clenched his fists as he said, "And you're the one wrecking everything."

Tai then summoned his sword as he said, "So, we're going to teach you a lesson. Agumon!"

Agumon nodded, then he shouted out, "Pepper Breath!"

Then Tai shouted out, "Amateratsu!"

One by one, we attacked, "Boom Bubble! Pop!"

Olette took out her D-Ark and a Modify Card and said, "DigiModify, Shellmon's Hydro Blaster!"

Rouge then put her claws together as water started to swirl inbetween them, then she yelled out, "Hydro Blaster!"

But DemiDevimon dodged all of the attacks. Then he flew away. I aimed my crossbow at him and said, "Apollo's Devine Arrow!" But he dodged my attack. "Grr. Tai, you and TK take care of DemiDevimon, the rest of us will help Matt out."

Tai nodded then he, Agumon, Patamon, and TK all chased after DemiDevimon. Then Digitamamon said, "How dishonest, trying to leave without paying me."

Matt then gripped his fist tightly and said, "You're a thief! We've worked here long enough to pay for a trip to Hawaii."

That was when Digitamamon started to burn up, literally. Then he said, "Hawaii's not on the schedule," Then he started to grow in size, and he said, "but if you insist, I'll send you to the moon!" Then the hole in his shell closed up, and he charged at Matt, but he dodged out just in time to avoid being turned into a pancake.

Then Digitamamon said, "You want to leave, you'll have to beat me first!"

I smirked as I pushed my sunglasses down, then I said, "Fine with me. Guys, Digivolving time!"

D-I-G-I-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N

And in a flash of light, Garurumon and Dorugamon, were now standing strong. Then Garurumon unleashed a stream of blue fire as he shouted out, "Howling Blaster!"

Then Dorugamon charged up an iron sphere in his mouth as he called out, "Power Metal!" Then he fired that large ball of iron at the large egg.

Rouge smirked a sadistic smirk as she said, "Surfs Up! Hydro Blaster!"

Then with the rushing water giving Dorugamon's Power Metal a boost, all three attacks struck at Digitamamon's shell, but there wasn't even a scratch on the shell.

Then Gomamon said, "His shell is closed, so the attacks had no effect."

I aimed at the shell, then I said, "Yeah? Well, how about this, Apollo's Devine Arrow! Hah!"

And in a blast of green light, my arrow fired at Digitamamon, but once the arrow hit, it didn't even make a dent.

I snapped my fingers and said, "Shoot! That should have worked!"

Digitamamon opened his shell, then he said, "Yes, too bad for you kids." Then he closed his shell again and charged at Garurumon, knocking him off his paws, and onto his back.

Matt ran up to his partner and yelled out, "Garurumon!"

That was when we all heard TK's voice call out, "Matt!"

We all looked up and saw that a Vegimon was holding TK by his feet, then he said, "Call off your beasts."

Then TK shouted out, "Matt! Help me!"

Then Digitamamon said, "How nice. Your little brother decided to hang around. Hehe." Then he dashed at Garurumon.

I gave Dorugamon a look, then he nodded and charged up another iron sphere, then he dashed at Digitamamon, and shouted out, "Cannonball!"

The sudden attack took him by surprise, but that didn't last long, and soon Dorugamon was getting tossed around like rag doll. Then TK shouted out, "Matt, Luke, somebody, get me down!"

That was when the unthinkable happened, Joe grew a spine and he said, "That's going too far. I've had it."

That was when Joe's Digivice began glowing and soon Gomamon began glowing as well, and soon, Ikkakumon was now standing proud. Ikkakumon then started to poke at Vegimon, who said, "Yow! Hey, back off, fur ball, or the kid's lunch meat!"

We were forced to watch as TK was swung around like a rag doll, then Olette glared and then Matt yelled out, "Stop that!"

That was when Joe jumped on top of Vegimon, who was forced to let go of TK, who fell on the ground. But now Joe was all tangled up in Vegimon's vines. Then TK said, "Joe, he's caught!"

Matt looked up and said, "Joe."

We were forced to watch as Joe was getting the life squeezed out of him, then, in his pain, he said, "Matt, you were right. You always said that we have to work together to get out of this mess. Now, it looks like it's my turn."

Matt couldn't move, then TK called out, "Matt, we got to help him."

I stood in front of Digitamamon, right next to Ikkakumon, and Dorugamon, then Joe said, "Go on, you guys, blast them now."

I had my crossbow aimed right at Digitamamon, but I was shaking, none of us could do anything, and we knew it, Ikkakumon swiped his horn at Digitamamon, knocking him to the side, with Dorugamon following after him, leaving us to face Vegimon, who said, "You, tell your friend I'm a very short tempered Vegimon! And you, stand down, or I'll crush this boy's bones."

Matt, worried about Joe, said, "Do it, Joe!"

I couldn't risk hurting Joe, so, with tears in my eyes, I slowly lowered my arm. That was when Joe called out, "No! You've got to attack while I keep him busy. Attack. I'm fine"

I couldn't move, "No, Joe, I couldn't. I have to protect you, I can't harm you. Please, don't ask me of this."

That was when I heard Matt say, "After I accused him, and yelled at him, he still risked himself for TK. Joe." That was when Matt yelled out, "NNNNNNOOOOOO!"

Then I turned to Digitamamon, who was being cornered by Ikkakumon, Garurumon, and Dorugamon. Then Digitamamon said, "I see you three don't know when to quit."

Then Dorugamon smirked and said, "Quit? I don't even know what that word means."

Digitamamon growled out, "I'll destroy all three of you with one shot!" But the Digimon simply growled at the giant egg, then Digitamamon glared and said, "Nightmare Syndrome!" Then a dark creature left Digitamamon's egg, and attacked our Digimon, and encased them in darkness, only to be shot out shortly after.

I growled, I couldn't risk unleashing DoruGreymon, his size is too large, and I don't want to risk hurting my friends. Then I heard TK cry out, "No! This is bad! They're too strong!"

Not to mention, "Grr, Joe!"

I aimed at Vegimon, but then Vegimon lowered Joe in front of him, and he said, "Uhuhuh, careful, now. You don't want to harm your friend, now, would you?"

As much as I want to fire, I can't bring myself to do it, that was when I heard Matt say, "We can't just give up! We've got to beat them!"

I glared at Vegimon, and I thought, 'He's right. But, I can't beat them alone. Not without harming Joe.'

That was when I heard Matt yell out, "But I can't beat them alone. I need Tai, Luke, Olette, TK, Sora, Izzy, Mimi, and Joe. Together we're strong. And when we stand together, we can beat anything! Garurumon!"

Garurumon stood up, then Matt's Digivice began to vibrate rapidly, and it soon turned dark blue and unleashed a bright light into the sky, and soon, Matt's Crest did the same thing, then Matt yelled out, "The Crest Of Friendship!"

Then Garurumon begin to transform, he stood up on his hind legs as he said, "Garurumon, Digivolve to..." Then his paws turned into hands, and he suddenly had pants on, with a skull on his left knee, his left arm had leather glove that covered his whole arm, a shoulder plate, brass knuckles, a knee plate on his left leg, some kind of necklace, and his right arm was wrapped up with a belt, and had some kind of metal wristband. All in all, he looked like he had become some kind of werewolf. Or, to be more spasific, he had become... "WereGarurumon." Then he topped it all off, with a howl.

Matt took out his Digivice and saw the states, and he said, "WereGarurumon, the Ultimate form of Gabumon, is a really fierce warrior with claws, strong kicks and jumps. He's extreme, but Egghead and his little bat buddy leave him no choice. Coming up, one scrambled egg, with a side of icicles."

I turned to Matt and asked, "Icicles? But WereGarurumon doesn't have any ice powers."

That was when Matt extended his hand and said, "Now, you shall feel the cold wrath, once the full moon rises, I shall turn your bones to Ice. I call upon, the Goddess of Ice and Snow, Khione! From water to snow, sun to the moon, Day to Night, I call upon the chilling powers of Ice, Scepter Of Khione!"

And in his hand was a large, dark blue scepter, with gold rims going across the center, a large golden ring at the top, where an Icy blue sphere rested, and three dark blue claws encasing the sphere. Matt then glared at Vegimon and said, "Time I put you on ice!"

Vegimon chuckled and said, "Nice magic trick, kid, but you forgot, if you attack me, I will squeeze the life out of your friend. Hahah!"

Matt glared and said, "That's what you think, you walking salad bar."

Then Digitamamon said, "You and your little doggy don't frighten me. Nightmare Syndrome!"

Matt turned to WereGarurumon and said, "WereGarurumon, you deal with the walking egg, I've got his vegan partner." WereGarurumon nodded, then Matt spun his scepter above him and then slammed it to the ground and said, "Time I showed you how I chill out. Cyrill's Crystal Ice Mirror Wall!"

My eyes widen in surprise at the name of Matt's attack, and a name suddenly popped into my head, 'Haku?' I then watched as ice started to appear all around us, starting as small shards of frozen glass, then they flew around Vegimon, and created twelve Crystal Mirrors, surrounding Vegimon and Joe. I actually felt a chill run down my spine.

Then I watched as Matt created another Ice wall, only this time, it was right in front of him, then, he stepped into it. I blinked a few times, then I said, "Okay, that's cool." I blinked at what I had just said, then I said, "Man, I need new jokes, these are not up to my standards."

I then watched as Matt appeared in one of the mirrors, one right near TK, then he grabbed him and said, "Hey, there, I will be relieving you of watch duty. Thank you for holding onto my friend." Then Matt reentered his Ice Mirror, only this time, he brought Joe along with him, and they both exited out of the last mirror that Matt had created.

I walked up to Matt and said, "Man, Matt. That was awesome! Welcome to the club of Elementals."

Matt looked at his Icy wall, then he said, "I'm not finished with him just yet, Luke."

I then looked to WereGarurumon, and said, "Yeah, well, WereGarurumon's not finished yet either."

Matt turned and saw that Digitamamon unleashed another, "Nightmare Syndrome!"

But WereGarurumon stopped the attack with his bare hands. Digitamamon then said, "Impossible!"

Matt smirked and he said, "That was just the beginning, you little poacher!"

WereGarurumon kept pushing back Digitamamon's attack, then he shouted out, "Mega Claw!" And then he knocked Digitamamon out of the park.

Vegimon then slowly said, "They beat Digitamamon." He then looked back at us.

I had my crossbow aimed right at Vegimon, while Tai had his sword lit on fire, and ready to bring the heat, and Matt had his scepter ready for the final freeze. Then DemiDevimon decided to make like a bat, and took off.

Then I said, "Well, Vegimon, what's it going to be? Are you going to stay here and become a salad, or will you run away?"

Vegimon decided to make a run for it. And so, Matt lowered Ice Mirror Wall, then Vegimon ran for his life. Then TK ran up to his older brother and said, "Yay! Wow, that was so cool, Matt! You're the awesomest big brother."

Matt blushed in embarrassment, then he said, "You really think so?"

TK nodded and said, "You bet! And I love that Ice Mirror thing you did!"

While those brothers had their heart to heart. The rest of us decided to give congratulate the real hero, Joe. Tai walked up to Joe and said, "I got to hand it to you, Joe. That was really brave."

Rouge nodded and said, "Yeah, not bad. Maybe you're not a wet blanket anymore."

Joe looked down in surprise and asked, "You really think so?"

Rouge nodded, then she said, "Yeah, but don't let that go to your head, I still find you annoyingly depressing."

Joe then said, "Oh, well, all I did was get grabbed."

"By a giant vegetable." Gomamon added.

Tsunomon nodded and said, "Yes, a cranky one."

We all shared a laugh, then Matt walked up to Joe and he said, "Uh, Joe, I'm really proud of how you handled the situation."

Joe then smiled and he said, "At my old school, they voted me 'most likely to chicken out.' I guess we showed them."

Then Matt said, "I also need to apologise."

Joe looked confused as he asked, "Oh? Why Matt?"

Matt was blushing, probably because he was embarrassment, then he said, "Because I never should have doubted you, Joe."

After that, we explained the situation to Matt and Joe, then as we were walking, Matt said, "So, everything is linked. If we don't fix things here, then our world will be in trouble, too."

I nodded and said, "Yep. That just about sums it up."

Then Joe said, "And you're also telling us that Olette and Rouge are now partners as well?"

Olette smiled and showed them her D-Ark and said, "Yep. Now we can fight along side you guys. Ain't it amazing?"

I nodded, then I kissed her cheek and said, "It sure is, love. It sure is."

That was when all of our Digivices went off, then TK said, "They're going off again."

Then as Tai was looking at his Digivice, he said, "It seems like every time this happens, we find one of our friends."

Then Joe said, "So, there must be someone around here."

Then TK asked, "But which direction?"

Then Tai said, "Well, mine's pointing out there."

Then Matt said, "Well, mine's pointing out this way."

I sighed and said, "I should have known. Well, I say, we split up and search for our friends."

Tai nodded and said, "I guess, if we want to find our friends, we're just going to have to split up again."

I said, "Well, then, Matt, TK, you guys go left, the rest of us will go right. Does that seem fair?"

Matt nodded and said, "Yeah, I think I can learn how to use my powers while I'm away anyways."

I nodded, then I said, "Remember, Khione is a part of you, Matt. And if you want to use your powers, then you have to learn how to learn how to communicate with the voice in your head."

Matt chuckled, then he said, "The way you say that, Luke, makes it sound like I will be going insane."

I shrugged and said, "Well, you are kind of talking to a walking zombie, so, make of it as you will."

Tai nodded, then he said, "Just so nobody gets lost, let's all meet up at the foot of that mountain, okay?"

We all nodded, then I said, "Last one back is a rotten Digitamamon!" Everyone laughed and we all split up, once again.

And so, six of us were reunited, but once again, we had to split up, will we find our friends and be reunited once again? Or, will we end up meeting fates worse than death? Find out on the next Digimon: New Life!

Thechaosmaster: Hey, everyone, I am back with one hell of a late nighter, Now then I won't wast time, my kindle is at ten percent, so, tomorrow, sometime in the afternoon, I will upload a proper A?N, but until then, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. It took a lot out of me.

CHAOS CONTROL!

Thechaosmaster: Afternoon, everybody, I hope that you guys and girls have enjoyed last night's chapter, I know I did when I was writing it, but I have to admit, it did not go how I originally wanted to go, I actually wanted to introduce another one of the Demon Lords in this chapter, heck, I even was going to hint at that in the original title for this chapter, "The Demon That Is Greed" And yep, Barbamon was actually going to show up here, and I actually added him in at the last leg of the chapter, but I deleted it because I decided that it just didn't flow with this chapter.

Anyways, to all who are reading this, tell me, should I have added Barbamon in this chapter, or should I add him, or another Demon Lord in a different chapter. Also, before I start writing the next chapter, would you readers care if I write chapters staring the other DigiDestined from their points of veiwe, say, Izzy's pov during No Questions please, or Kari's pov for another chapter? I really want your opinions on this.

Now, onto some questions that many of you may have. More spacifically, how could Sora hear the voice of her Crests Spirit? Well, if you lot go back to Etemon's Dark Concert, you will see that Luke heard Sussanoo's voice, before he even obtained the Crest. And I have stated that the Spirirts of the Crests are a part of the DigiDestined, and you may have noticed that, so far, the spirirts of Protection, Courage, and Friendship, are all named after gods and goddess, this is just for fun, but I feel that it is a perfect fit for the story.

And, I bet those who are Naruto fans can, without spoiling, take a guess at what the name of Kari's Crest Spirit's name will be.

Now, it is time I actually explained something. The attacks that the DigiDestined have. One is an offensive attack, and the other is defensive. I have shown both offensive and defencive attacks for Luke, but only Offencive for Tai, and Defencive for Matt. And each attack has different names for a reason. What that reason is... I don't fully know myself, but when I figure it out, I'll let you know.

By the way, this is something I have been meaning to ask all of you, I might be planning on Luke, after the end of season one, to join Ken and Ryo on their journey to fight Millenniumon, do any of you know if there is a comic or english version of the game that I can use to help when I decide to write that? Or, should I not do it at all? Leave you reviews to let me know, but in the meantime...

CHAOS CONTROL!
