(Opening Fly-away by back on)

Ash and Dorumon were looking at the sky from a cliff when the wind blow his hat with his goggles attached to it and ran to get it.

saa ryoute hiroge ano kumo o koete

Ash and Dorumon were trying together to get it and 9 other humans and Digimon join them.

niji no aachi kugutte mezasu basho e fly away

Ash, Dorumon and everyone ran through some trees before bursting out with the title going 'The Digital Adventure'!

(mukaikaze datte dekai kabe datte

Ash and Dorumon land and turned to see everyone looking ready for what's to come.

kimi ga soba ni iru kara

Ash and Dorumon were up top on a tree looking to the distance looking for his hat and goggles, the camera moved to Paul leading on a tree with his hands in his pockets and looking to the sky while BlackGabumon was right next to him.

I held you hand cuz you said
"Take you to the shining place from a maze"

Ritchie walking as Patamon flew next to him and Serena and Salamon walked with them while Barry was helping Falcomon pull an apple off a tree and when it came out it made both of them fall to the ground while Zoey catch it with Lalamon floating next to her and she laughed.

Gary was speaking with Gaomon with a small portable laptop in his hands while Dawn was watching Lunamon play in the water.

Red was laying down on the ground with Bearmon while Leaf was looking down on him with FanBeemon flying next to her.

Suddenly the sky darkened making everyone get together as several Digimon surround them and a devil like figure float down and grins evilly.

kizutsukete kizutsuite kurayami de sakende'ta

The humans pulled out their Digivices and they glowed and so did the Digimon as their forms changed and flashed.

ima hikari terasu ano sora no hate e

Ash was flying on Dorugamon who fired his Iron ball, Paul riding on top of BlackGarurumon who fires blue fire, Barry riding on Peckmon who shoots kunai shaped feathers, Lekismon jumps over Dawn and fires a beautiful ice arrow.

kimi no te o tsukande hanasanai you ni

Gary rides on Gaogamon and he unleashes a spiral blow, Red rides on Grizzmon with Leaf behind him and Grizzmon jumps and it's paw glows and slashes down, Waspmon flies past Leaf and fires from it's stinger, Sunflowmon shoots a beam of light from it's head with Zoey watching and Serena next to her with Gatomon jumping up and punches at an enemy.

fly away

Ritchie looks on as Angemon flies down in front of him and Fires a beam of holy energy at the screen making the scene change to everyone falling into a dark place with the Digimon back in their child forms.

(mukaikaze datte dekai kabe datte
oikaze matotte mezasu basho e)

The dark place changes into light, and you see a human wearing a cloak with the hood covering his face and only had one eye showing and with him was a Cyberdramon, Paul's older Brother Reggie with Wizardmon, May with Kudamon and Max with Terriermon, Gankoomon with Hackmon and the three Sistermon as the group reaching down.

boku ga soba ni iru kara

Ash picks up his hat and puts it on and looks at the screen with Dorumon, The team and the other mentionables.

(Opening Fly-away by back on ends)


Set Sail! To a New Land! Shows Whamon on screen.


The group was now gathered at the base of the mountain, the adrenaline of the fight finally wearing off, leaving them all dead tired. Despite that,, Devimon's last words still bugged them. "We knew there was more to this world than just this island, and that other islands were more dangerous..." Ash sighed, looking at where he knew there was a beach. "But now it suddenly feels a whole lot more daunting."

"I know what you mean man..." Barry sighed. "But hey, we managed to save File Island. That's a start, right?"

"It was, but...for now we should probably regroup then plan our next move," Paul sighed, looking to where Leomon was slumped against a nearby tree, the group having gone looking for him after the fight, the lion-like Digimon having a few bandages wrapped around his torso courtesy of the groups hammerspace bags.

"That's probably for the best. We don't actually know how to get across the ocean, or what to do next," Ritchie sighed. However, as if in response to his words, the ground near where they were cracked, before an odd device revealed itself from the ground, and from it a beam of light appeared, as what appeared to be a holodrapic image soon appeared.

"Is this...some kind of projector?" Gary asked.

"Indeed it is." came the voice of an adult male as a person appeared within the projector.

He appeared to be just over 6 feet tall, making him taller than all of them, wearing a beige colored robe with brown edges that made him look like some kind of sage, his skin was tanned, with short spiky brown hair that was tied into a low ponytail on his back, his blue eyes looking at the group in a mix of amusement and pride.

"I have to admit, I'm impressed with how soundly you all kicked Devimon to the curb." he said with an easy smile.

"And who are you suppose to be?" Red asked guardedly.

"You can call me Gennai. I've been trying to contact you all for a while now, but Devimon was constantly running interference with his Black Gears. Now that he's gone, I'm free to speak, though the range is a bit of an issue." the now named Gennai explained.

"Are you human?" Zoey asked suspiciously.

"Yes and now. I've always been in the Digital World, but my appearance is quite obviously based on that of a human." he added.

"That's... weird." Dawn said after a moment.

"Everything's weird in this world." Leaf said idly.

"Are you some kind of ghost person?" Serena asked as she moved her hand through the hologram before Leaf pulled her away.

"I am not a ghost person." Gennai said dryly. "I'm simply on the Server Continent at the moment, which is where you need to go. You have defeated Devimon, but there are more evil Digimon out there."

"Yeah, he kinda made that last detail clear, even if it was in the vain of 'if we go, we die'," Ritchie said dryly.

"And like it or not, he had a point. It took all of us to defeat him. If we go up against a Digimon who is far stronger than he is..." Gary sighed as he trailed off. Never let it be said they were all pessimist, but the logic spoke for itself.

"And that's where these little things called Tags and Crests come in." Gennai said, before right in his hand in the hologram appeared a small gold colored object similar to an army dog tag, and a tiny little glass piece that seemed to be made to slide into it. "If you can obtain them, they'll allow your partners to evolve to Pefect and beyond."

"We can really evolve higher?" Dorumon asked in excitement.

"Indeed, each of you has a Tag with a corresponding Crest, tailor made for you specifically." Gennai explained further.

"Wait, I have to ask, were you the one who brought the humans here?" Gaomon asked with a raised arm.

"It wasn't me no. However I know who it was, but he requested that I keep his identity a secret for now as he will reveal himself to you in time." Gennai spoke, and from his tone it was clear he respected whoever this other being was. "At the very least, I can tell you he's basically my boss."

"Okay," Ash nodded slowly. "So...where do we find these Tags and Crests?" he asked, figuring Gennai not wanting to go against his boss was reasonable enough...even if that made him feel a bit suspicious, but hey...free power up.

"About that..." Gennai sighed, scratching the back of his head. "The Crests are scattered all over the Server Continent, while the Tags...to my knowledge, they had ended up in the hands of Devimon, who in turn hid them somewhere. Where exactly...I'm not sure."

"Of course," Barry sighed, "It's never easy, is it?"

"Judging by how you said how they were 'tailor made' for us...let me guess," Red sighed. "The bad guys broke into your base, and stole the stuff, before picking up the Villain Ball, and scattering them, thus giving us the chance to find them instead of doing the smart thing and destroying them. Sounds about right?"

Gennai chuckled awkwardly "That's...pretty much accurate actually, thankfully we were able to get the Digivices and the 10 Digieggs away in time, it helped that we had a few extra pair of hands."

"So...that means you made us then?" Bearmon asked after a moment, looking at Gennai curiously.

"More like we worked on your eggs to establish the links to the crests and Digivices and made sure you were as healthy as possible, though we may have worked on your data a bit to ensure what kind of Digimon you'd hatch as... though, Dorumon was a curious case out of all of you." Gennai said in a bit of amusement as he looked at the dino.

"How was I curious?" Dorumon wondered.

"Because you'd already interacted with your chosen partner, it made setting the link easier in your case." Gennai expalined with a smile.

"About that, so basically all this had been planned out. That we were always meant to come here and save the world, huh?" Ash frowned. As much as he liked being reunited with Dorumon, and meeting all their new friends...he still didn't like the idea that they were destiny's puppets the whole time.

"In a sense..." Gennai admitted with a sigh. "Look, its not THAT simple, but as it is, I can't explain everything right now. While Devimon's interference is gone, the connection can only last for so long. For now, I'll send you all an map to lead you to Server. When you all arrive, and when we meet in person, I promise I'll explain the story."

Ash looked at the man for a moment longer, before nodding, accepting that for now. "I'll hold you to it."

"Personally, I'm curious about why you chose all of us specifically?" Gary added with a confused frown.

"I'll explain that part as well." Gennai promised, before his form on the projector started to waver a bit and fizzle. "Looks like I'm out of time. I'll leave you with this, good luck Chosen Children." he managed to say before the projector turned off.

"Well...he kept his first promise that's for sure," Gary said, as on his laptop was a map detailing the distance between File Island and Server Continent.

"Looks like it'll be quite the distance. No way we can swim that far," Zoey frowned, looking at the map.

"Guess we'll need a boat than." Barry sighed. "How are we gonna get one of those though?"

"First things first, I guess we should all calm down a bit. We DID just fight for our lives," Ash sighed. "Anyone up for looking for something to eat?"

"We should make sure Leomon is okay too," Ritchie added.

"So, he's really back to normal?" Falcomon asked.

"Yeah, he even helped us get to the mountain." Lalamon answered happily.

"Just a small question before we keep going, everyone can feel the little tremors right?" Salamon asked.

"Yeah, it's just the little island pieces coming back into place?" Lunamon said from up high in a tree as she watched the last few pieces come back in.

"Glad to hear that," Dawn nodded. "Now...how do we get the big guy down here? Anyone got the energy to Evolve again?"

"That...won't be necessary..." came Leomon's voice, as he started to slowly get to his feet.

"Easy there," Paul said, "You took a bad fall earlier."

"I've had worse," Leomon reassured. "I was somewhat conscious while you were talking. If you want to get a ship...I recommend visiting File City."

"...there's a city on this island?" Leaf blinked in surprise.

"Its called that mainly due to it being the largest settlement on the island, but yes," Leomon managed a weak chuckle. "It's not too far away from Primary Village, so we can get there easily enough."

"We'll lead the way then, but don't push yourself, we aren't in a rush." Barry advised him.

Leomon simply nodded before starting to walk at a slow pace, the group following him.


The trip down the mountain was at a sedate pace, the group more focused on ensuring Leomon's well being than reaching their destination quickly. Eventually though, they could see it.

It looked like a decently sized town with a good number of houses, several different stores were also present, as well as a restaurant, a clinic, what looked like a boxing ring, a bank, and a blacksmith.

That last one caught their attention. "Um, Leomon? I think we need to make a stop before seeing whoever we need to for a boat."

Leomon stopped walking at that and turned to them, before noticing what they had stopped in front of and nodding. "Understood." he said before sitting down on a beach not too far while the group headed in.

Inside, they were met with a very hot room, and standing in the middle, seemingly checking on the quality of tools, was a completely red Monochromon.

"Gaomon? Who is that?" Gary whispered with a raised eyebrow.

"Vermilimon, he's a Perfect Level Digimon, besides that he's pretty similar to Monochromon except he can survive in hotter climates." the dog explained simply.

"Heh, you sure know your stuff," Vermilimon chuckled. "So, you're all definitely new in town. What'll it be?"

"Do you do creation jobs?" Red asked.

"That depends what you have in mind," Vermilimon nodded. In response, all 10 of them plopped pictures of swords and bo staffs on the counter. "...okay, I'll admit these aren't the stuff I usually do. Hm...do you even have experience with these type of weapons?"

"Lots and LOTS of experience and practice." Ash said with emphasis.

"Right... this could take me a few hours." Vermilimon muttered "it might also help if one of you lent me a hand, since I assume you want to be sure their made right."

"Everyone has to know what their weapon wants to be made and knows how to move to it, right?" Red asked, receiving nods all around, for the most part.

"Um, I don't." Barry said with an awkward laugh.

"Actually I wanted to talk to you about that Barry. Since I know how much trouble you usually have during a Kendo lesson, so I took the liberty to grab a book on it before I got to the camp and help make you better at it." Ash said as he searched through his bag and pulled out a book on Kendo and passed it to Barry, who looked at it and opened it, his eyebrows going up after a few moments.

"This is...actually pretty cool, and I would actually be able to learn quickly since it looks simple enough." Barry said, before his voiced dipped into muttering as he tried to picture it.

"I could help you practice Barry, and maybe even toughen you up a bit since I one of the top ranking in our Kendo class." Paul told him with a smirk that said he was a harsh coach.

"I think I'll like that, give me your best shot." Barry said determined.

Ash did the smallest of fist bumps before focusing back on the situation at hand. "Alright, I think we all know who might be the best person to work on the weapons is." he said, before everyone looked at Zoey.

She blushed a bit at the implication since they all knew she was the caring type and would make sure they all got what they did. "A-alright guys. I'll do my best to help!" she said with a grin before walking over and grabbing the pictures to make sure whose are whose.

"I'll stay and see if I can help with anything too." Lalamon added.

"Right, we're counting on you," Dawn smiled.

"Oh, before we forget, we have some Chrome Digizoid, think you could work it into our weapons, it might make them a lot tougher?" Red asked as he pulled out a piece from his bag.

"I'd be honored, but, at the moment it's not the best idea, trying to make and upgrade it at the same time could actually be harmful to the weapons in the long run, so I'll have to decline the chance to work on it." Vermilimon explained.

"Well, that's too bad." Gary said with a sigh, but nonetheless, they all accepted it.

"Now that that's being worked on...we should look into where we can get a ship," Ash said...before several growls came from their stomachs. "...and somewhere to get food, hopefully with some takeout too."

"Think we should split up for that part?" Patamon asked, figuring they could cover more ground.

"Well, we're in a city, and with Devimon gone, the island is peaceful again." Dorumon said as the idea merit.

"He's right, so let's do just that, and just send a group call when you find something, Dorumon and I will go with Leomon in the meantime." Ash said as everyone walked out of the blacksmith, while he pause to pat Zoey on the shoulder encouragingly, receiving a smile from her.

With that, the group split up, finally being able to just enjoy a day in town. So far things were going well, as even though they had a mission to do, they could still take the time to enjoy themselves. The town may have been small, but it was well stocked, such as Ritchie and Patamon visiting a local bookstore, Barry and Falcomon managing to find the shipyard, Paul and BlackGabumon finding a boxing ring run by a BlackGaomon, which was a, a black variation of Gaomon. Then there was Red and Bearmon who found a restaurant, though Red was smart enough to check currency before buying anything, and found that the Muchomon chef, a red bird Digimon, accepted all forms of currency and treated them at the same time.

Overall, the day had been both productive and enjoyable. Along the way, they'd managed to get some info on how they'd get to Server Continent, such as the facilities, materials needed to make a ship, as well how far the distance would be, thus they could better predict how to prepare.

However, the crowning moment came when Ash and Dorumon followed Leomon to meet the elder of the city, who lived in a home that look like an old hut...made out of cardboard for some reason.

"Yeah...this would has no logic at time." Ash said dryly as he followed Leomon inside.

"Elder Jijimon, I have brought one of the Chose Children." Leomon announced into the house.

"What? Truly?" said a very old sounding voice from the back of the home, before both Ash and Dorumon looked on in confusion as what could only be described as a rather short old man with hair and a beard that covered his face, hobling into the room, holding onto a cane that had a cat glove at the tip, and wearing what looked to be a simple rag.

"Well... this is new," Dorumon said after a moment.

"What, never seen an Ultimate Level Digimon before?" Jijimon said, and they could hear the amusement in his tone.

"Wait what?" Ash blinked. "Ultimate? Judging by the name, I'm guessing THAT'S the level beyond Perfect, right?"

"Of course," Jijimon added.

Digimon Analyzer: Jijimon

Jijimon. Vaccine Type. AN Ultimate Level Ancient Digimon. A Digimon said to have existed since the dawn of the Digital World. Jijimon is ever present to guide those in need of his words of wisdom. His special attacks are Cat Cane, where he cobbers the enemy with his cane, and Energy Grenade, which rather speaks for itself.

Ash...could only manage a blink stare at the supposed 'Ultimate'. If that was true, then this old looking Digimon was suppose to be even stronger than Andromon...though...appearance really didn't paint him as such. Either way, he decided it was best NOT to voice any of those thoughts.

"Now then, I assume you managed to beat Devimon, right?" Jijimon asked.

"Right, it took a lot of effort to get to him, but our Digimon were able to delete him." Ash said with a nod after recovering.

"Good job then, congratulations are truly in order, I may be of the Ultimate Level, but I'm not the strongest Digimon, I only reached this level through age, and not through battle." Jijimon explained as he pulled out a few cushions and sat on one seiza style, the others in the room copying him when he passed the cushions.

However, before they could talk more, one of the windows suddenly broke, as something broke into the room. "Prepare yourself old mon!" came three young sounding voices.

Their reactions were instant, as Ash and Dorumon tensed, Leomon's reflexively went to his sword...while Jijimon just let out a tired, but amused sigh. When they all got a good look at the soon to be assailants...Ash stopped short.

"...you're kidding, right?" Ash deadpanned as he beheld what appeared to be three Child Level Digimon judging by their size and voices.

The first looked like the same small yellow dinosaur they saw in Toy Town, but his color was black instead of yellow, so it was most likely a variation.

The second Digimon looked similar in body structure, and with his body covered in fur, his body a pale yellow, ad he wore a samurai inspired armor... although it could only be his natural body armor.

The third was the only one that was standing completely upright, his whole body covered in a golden armor with sharp claws on his hands and feet, a white cape attached to his back, while on the top of his armored head was a rather large sword like horn with a silver 20 stamped onto it. Of the three, this one was the only one who seemed dangerous in a way.

"BlackAgumon, Ryudamon, Zubamon, haven't we done this same song and dance enough times already?" Jijimon sighed.

"No way! We're not gonna stop till we beat you, old mon!" BlackAgumon said. "Let's get him guys!"

"Right!" Ryudamon and Zubamon said before the three moved to pounce on Jijimon.

Ash and Dorumon were about to intervene...when they noticed Leomon had let go on his sword and honestly looked...annoyed...like this was a common occurrence. It soon became clear that was the case, as Jijimon sighed and lifted his staff. Cat Cane!" Jijimon called out, and in a quick motion, all three of the attacking mon were on the ground, goose eggs present on their heads, their eyes swirly.

"...okay, that had to be the worst attack attempt I've ever seen...and that's saying something," Dorumon deadpanned, which was true seeing as he was only a bit over a month old right now.

"How often does this happen?" Ash asked dryly.

"Give or take once a day." Leomon sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"...wow... I don't know if I should admire their dedication, or pity they have nothing better to do." Ash said as he shook his head with a sigh.

"They're harmless for the most part really." Jijimon shook his head in amusement. "They're not bad kids honestly."

"Though I still believe you should take a more firm stance to discipline them," Leomon sighed. "These three may have potential, but they're wasting it like this.

"Ever think of maybe giving them a better outlet?" Ash suggested.

"We have." Jijimon started.

"But they keep breaking everything." Leomon finished.

"Ah..." Ash and Dorumon sweat dropped, honestly not sure what to say to that.

"Yes, that's a common reaction from a lot of mon who asked." Leomon sighed.

"So uh...where were we again?" Ash asked awkwardly, deciding to try and change the topic.

"I do believe I was about to have someone send word that the Chosen Children were in the city. I was originally going to ask Tsukaimon to do it... but these three seem to have volunteered." Jijimon finished, and everyone was sure he was grinning at the end.

"I'll go get the kettle," Leomon smirked as he got up and went to a different room.

"This is going to be funny." Dorumon said with a small laugh.

"Yeah." Ash shook his head in amusement, before turning back to Jijimon. "So, I was wondering, is there anything you could tell us about Server? It's our next destination and we'll need a boat to get there."

"Well, you're welcome to use our shipyard to construct it, as for Server itself, it's been a long time since I've been there, but I've heard talk of a few powerful and evil Digimon who lived there, I don't even know their names, but I know they're at the Perfect Level, nothing else though." Jijimon explained as he stoked his beard.

"That helps though," Ash nodded. "At least we have SOME idea about what's there. So...how long would a trip to Server take on an average?"

"Depends on the weather and everything, but if you can maintain a decent pace, a week tops." Jijimon said.

"Huh...spent a whole week on land and then spending another on sea... well, as long as there any Black Gear Digimon, I'm pretty sure nobody will mind." Ash said after a moment.

"You lead you group well," Jijimon nodded in approval.

"Wha-Leader? Me? No! No, no! I'm not the leader... am I?" that last part was directed to Dorumon.

"I always thought you were." his partner answered, and Ash actually blushed a bit as he covered his face.

Jijimon laughed at that. "Then that just means you're all the better for the role," he said in jolly tone. "Trust me when I say that many times the best leaders are the ones who neither want, nor think themselves fit, for the role, yet play it well anyway."

"I...I guess that makes sense. Personally I always thought that Paul and Red would be better suited for the role than I was." Ash said, honestly not sure what to think about this, he DID know though he'd be talking to the others about this 'Leader situation'. Quickly shaking his head to focus on what was important right now, he turned back to Jijimon. "At any rate, we're really grateful for any help you can give us."

"Think nothing of it. Compare to the service you've render us, helping preparations for a single voyage is cheap," Jijimon waved off. "Speaking of which..." right as he said that, Leomon was back with a kettle of water, which he promptly poured on the three troublemakers.

"We're up!" the three of them shouted as they got up, as the water had been cold.

"We'll deal with these three for now. You two should regroup with the others," Leomon said to Ash and Dorumon, who nodded and left the room, though not before hearing the start of Leomon chewing the three young mon out.

(Seven by Kouji Wada)

It didn't take long for everyone to regroup in the shipyard. "Okay, so looks like we can use the shipyard, but we'll need to get the materials together ourselves," Dawn said as the 18 of them were gathered together, Zoey still working with Vermilimon in the forge to create their weapons while Lalamon accompanied her.

"Good thing we got Jijimon's permission to use the nearby woods for materials," Dorumon said.

"Whelp, no point in wasting time. Time to get chopping." Serena said with a smile, hefting one of the axes they'd been allowed to borrow.

"Still though...this could take a while..." Ritchie frowned.

"Unless of course you don't mind a helping hand," came Leomon's voice, drawing their attention. Turning, they saw the lion-like Digimon walking towards them, though they also noticed his bandages were still present.

"Well, you won't be doing anything too big, not with those injuries." Red said with arms crossed.

"Maybe not, but that's what the others are here for." Leomon said with an amused smile.

Everyone gave him a questioning look at that, before they quickly got their answers when several familiar faces strolled into the shipyard.

Veedramon, the Wormmon, Meramon, the Moonmon, Andromon, the Numemon, Monzaemon, the Solarmon, Starmon, Frigimon, Mojyamon, Centarumon, Elecmon, and the Drimogemon brothers.

"Wow, who'd ordered the party?" Dawn couldn't help but ask with a grin.

"Let's just say a little bird told us you were gonna build a boat to Server." Veedramon said.

"We decided to see if we could help." Andromn nodded.

"It's the least we could do after all the help you gave us," the oldest Drimogemon finished with a grin.

"Well then, glad to have you all helping," Paul said with a smirk.


"Timber!" Falcomon shouted as he and several of the smaller Digimon ran out of the way as one of the trees came down.

"How many does that make so far?" BlackGabumon asked.

"We're already at half we the amount we need," Starmon reported, having felled the tree with his fist.

"Really? Feels like we've gotten a lot already," Patamon frowned.

"Well, if you wanted to build a raft or a small boat, sure," Solarmon, the one they knew, said. "But, we're aiming to build something that can handle any normal rough weather that might happen."

"He's correct. It would be best to properly build this boat," Centarumon nodded as he and Meramon were moving some logs around.

"Well, if you say so, then it's fine then," Lunamon accepted the explanation.

"Speaking of which though..." Leaf said, coming out from behind a nearby tree.

"We found a bunch of trees already felled not far away," FanBeemon said. "Think we can use them."

"Huh, that's pretty weird, nobody's been beyond this point yet." Veedramon mused.

"Nonetheless, it seems someone prepared assistance for us, and it would be rude to decline." Andromon said as he followed Leaf back to where the felled trees were along with a few of the others.

"Think Ogremon had a change of heart?" Ash said in a joking tone as he saw the large amount of trees.

"Well, he didn't make these ones fall, these are cleanly cut...although those ones over there are definitely his handiwork." Leomon said, pointing to a pile of tree trunks that had the base smashed.

"Now that I think about it, he never did make good on any of his threats when we were fight," Ritchie mused.

"Guess he's not that big of a jerk after all." Patamon said with a smile.

Not too far from them, Ogremon was hiding, his face red as he groaned a bit. "I must be getting soft," he grumble to himself. "Then again, never did like that bastard anyway, so good riddance that they got rid of him."

"You really should be more honest with yourself." Kudamon said from branch higher up as Terriermon snickered.

"Hey! You four are in no position to talk, you're hiding too!" Ogremon hissed at the holy Digimon and Bunny/Dog like Digimon and May and Max. Except for Kudamon, the three had the decency to blush a little at being called out, but ultimately didn't say anything to defend themselves.

Not far from them, Frigimon who happened to be nearby noticed the conversation, and let out a knowing chuckle before resuming helping with construction.

The process took a good few hours, but with everyone chipping in, it wasn't long before the boat was ready. "Man...it's hard to believe we managed to make build THIS in just a few hours," Ash whistled as he looked at the sizeable Caravel style ship. It was honestly very big all things considered, easily able to hold more than 20 people, complete with a lookout on the top mast, a storage for supplies, a dining room (small kitchen included), a living area, a covered steering section, and even, from the looks of it, an optional paddle system in the event they were hit with the lack of wind of had to navigate through rough weather.

"Oh this is nothing. You should see what we can do when we get better materials," Solarmon stated with pride, something shared by the rest of the Solarmon's, as they've been the ones mainly to work on building the ship. And boy did they do a good job.

"Yeah, we can tell," Serena grinned. "Though...who's the figurehead?" she asked, referring to the wooden carving of a mermaid, albeit one with a pirate hat, complete with braided hair and an anchor at the end.

"Oh that? That's Mermaimon. We figured it'd be good for luck," Mojyamon said.

"Well, it's really well made. Thanks," Barry chuckled.

"A ship like this would need a name if you ask me." Gaomon said.

"Totally! What should we call it?" Lunamon wondered.

"How about the Black Pearl?" Red said in a joking tone.

"No, we are not doing a Disney reference." Ash cut off the idea quickly.

"Do you have an idea then?" Dawn asked him.

"Well...how about Great Reach?" Ash said after a few moments of thought.

Everyone took a moment to consider the name, before slowly, they all voiced their approval of it.

And with that, the Great Reach, ship of the Chosen Children, was born.

(Seven by Kouji Wada ends)

The group agreed to set sail the following morning, not only because it was finally dark now, but also because their weapons weren't finished yet and the humans wanted to be able to defend themselves.

"Do you think Zoey is finished with the creations?" Gary mused.

"Guys!" they all heard her shout as she ran into the shipyard, pulling a small wagon behind her.

"Speak of the devil." Ash said in amusement as they turned to her and Lalamon as they slowed down and looked at the ship in awe.

"Wow, that's amazing~" she whispered as she looked at the ship with stars in her eyes.

"Meet the Great Reach!" Serena said with a grin.

"It honestly turned out better than we would have expected." Leaf said with a smile.

"Only because we had a LOT of help," Paul reminded with a smirk.

"So, about the weapons...?" Barry trailed off with a curious look.

"Here they are, took a while but it was worth it!" Zoey grinned, showing them the weapons that were all in the wagon.

Their were a total of 6 katana's and 4 Bo staffs, their were also tags on the staffs with the girls names on them and on the katana's sheath had the boys names craved into them.

"Wow, these look great." Barry whistled as he grabbed the one with his name on it.

"Glad to know we have some extra protection now." Ash said with a relieved sigh as he grabbed his and pulled out the blade and gave it a couple test swings.

"Man you guys did a great job." Red grinned, seeing as they all had great weapons now to help the Digimon.

"Huh...neat," Falcomon commented seeing the weapons.

"Yeah, it is," Barry nodded, moving away and doing a few practice swings. "It works great!"

Zoey just smiled and gave a quick salute as everyone grabbed their personal weapon.

"So how much is this gonna cost us?" Ash asked, just about ready to use up all his money.

"Vermilimon said that normally it'd cost 850 Yen, but when he heard about what we did, he said he was willing to give us a discount, so its only 450 Yen," Zoey said. "He also gave us the option of starting a Tab if we couldn't pay for it right away."

"No need, we got the money." Red said as he and Ash puled out their wallets.

"Hey, don't act like we're not here either," Barry chuckled as he pulled out his wallet too, something they all soon did.

"Its for all our weapons. Its only fair we all pay for it." Ritchie said with a grin.

"Pretty sure I would have called you all out on it if you didn't try to pay honestly." Ash told everyone dryly, earning a few laughs.

After a quick trip to the forge to pay their bill, the group had their dinner in the local restaurant run by Muchomon, before settling down in the Inn for the night.

The following morning, apparently everyone had learned that they were the Chosen Children, because they kept receiving thanks and praise for saving the island, while also being gifted with a few extra supplies.

"Wait...what did you say these seed packets are for?" Ash asked the Digimon in front of him, one of the purple flowered Digimon from a few days ago, apparently called Alraumon.

"These ones are for meat apple trees, and these ones are for meat plants." Alraumon said as she pointed at the different packets in question.

Ash was silent for several moments. "Are you telling me that meat grows in the same way a strawberry does?"

All he received was a nod, but it was enough to make him sigh as he put the packets away. He was far beyond bothering to question how things worked in this bizarre world. Once everything was ready, the 20 of them had boarded the ship, and were now raising the anchor, while unfurling the sails.

"Bye! Thanks for everything!" FanBeemon and Salamon said while waving.

"Don't be strangers now, feel free to come back sometime if you can!" Jijimon called back to them.

"We will!" Bearmon, BlackGabumon and Dorumon all said.

"You guys take care too okay?!" Zoey called as she waved, and it wasn't long before File Island was fading in the distance.

Once the ship was out of sight, the residents of the city soon returned to their daily business...tough Leomon seemed to be looking around. "Something wrong?" Jijimon asked.

"I feel like we're forgetting something," Leomon frowned. "Hm...has anyone seen those three little trouble makers? They're usually hard to miss."

"Oh, I'm sure they've just gone run off again. They'll be back soon enough," Jijimon chuckled.


"Gotta admit, I think I'm gonna miss File," Barry admitted with a chuckle as by now File was just a little dot. For better or worse, File was just the start of their journey, and it was a nice one overall too.

"Look alive everyone, we've got a lot ahead of us," Ash said with a grin as the wind pushed into the sails.

"And so far we're on to a good start," Red added as he was at the wheel.

"A whole week of just sailing on the ocean... kind of makes we wish I could work on my tan honestly." Zoey said...within earshot of Paul, and you could see his ears turn red from a blush, making her smile.

"What's with the sudden idea?" Dawn asked cluelessly.

"Oh right, you guys weren't there. Her and Paul are dating now after they had an incident while we were all split up the other day." Ash said as he sat on top of the cover for the wheel.

"Shut up moron!" Paul yelled with a blush.

There was a pause in activity from the humans as they took in the piece of information in. "Huh...didn't see that coming, pretty neat though." Serena eventually said.

"Nice job, we knew the old Paul was still in there." Ritchie said.

"Shut up Ritchie!" Paul yelled again.

"We wish you both all the best, right everyone?" Leaf said.

"I really don't get it, but yeah, congrats." BlackGabumon said with a smile, the others joining, in which actually made both Zoey and Paul blush at the attention.

"Shrew you guys." Paul said face palming.

After that, the day continued to move on, rather uneventfully, but after the previous week, the group welcomed the calm of the waves.

This actually continued on into their second day at sea, after they'd layed anchor and slept the night away in actual beds.

Finally, it was during their third day that things changed. At first it seemed that things were going to be smooth again, and for a while they were. Suddenly the waves started to rocking the boat a bit more violently. "Hm...rough waters we're having today," Ritchie mused as everyone grabbed hold of something.

"But so far nothing the boat can't handle," Red nodded as he was once again steering. However, that soon changed when Barry by chance glanced over the edge...and gulped.

"Uhhh...guys?" he asked, sounding VERY nervous.

"What did you see, Barry?" Gary deadpanned, already used to the life and death situations this world tossed at them.

"There's a big shadow under the ship," Barry said flatly.

Everyone peered over the railing at that, before paling as they saw just HOW big said shadow was.

"Well...this is going to be a problem." Leaf said after swallowing nervously.

"Maybe their just passing by and and won't do anything?" Bearmon said hopefully.

"Somehow, I doubt it'll be that simple." Lunamon added.

As if to prove the point, the huge shadow moved ahead of them, before the water started to rise, revealing...

"Holy shit it's Moby Dick.' Red whispered with his eyes wide.

"Everyone knows Moby Dick is a white whale, this one's blue... but still just as much of a problem though." Ash said in a bit of annoyance.

"That's Whamon! But why is he attacking us? He's a good Digimon!" Dorumon shouted as the waves were caused by Whamon rising rocked the boat.

Digimon Analyzer: Whamon

Whamon. Vaccine Type. A Perfect Level Aquatic Digimon. Living in the deepest depths of the Net Ocean, Whamon carries enormous amounts of data in its body that would overload a normal computer. There are rumors of a rare, White Whamon that carries an island on its back as it swims through the skies. Its special attacks are Jet Arrow, which launches a high pressure jet of water from its blowhole, and Tidal Wave, where it uses its tail to create, well, a tidal wave.

"Hang on!" Red shouted as he spun the wheel in an attempt to get away, but Whamon wasn't about to let them go.

"Damn! If he's suppose to be a good Digimon, do you think something's causing him to go berserk like all the others?!" Dawn shouted over the sounds of the water.

"Its possible! But we defeated Devimon already!" Gary said.

"Maybe a few of the gears survived!" Zoey suggested.

"Whether that's the case or not, it isn't helping our current situation!" Gaomon said, as the boat rocked all over thanks to the waves Whamon was kicking up. That's when he seemed to decide to stop playing around and opened his mouth.

"Uh...guys?" Falcomon said, and he had turned pale.

"...well, guess we're gonna say hi to Pinocchio..." Ash could only say flatly before they were promptly eaten.

It was dark for a moment, before a small crack was heard and Red was holding a glowstick.

"Welp, it's a good thing we usually prepare huh?" Barry asked in a deadpan, and before he could receive an answer, the ship started to move again, travelling down Whamon's throat.

"I don't wanna come out the back!" Zoey guess as she easily guessed they were travelling down into his stomach.

"What are those things?!" Dawn said as she pointed to weird, slimy, stuff falling from the top.

"I think it's his immune system." Ritchie answered.

"It must think we're a bacteria of some kind!" Gary added.

"Well I dunno about you guys but I did NOT come this far to die by white blood cells!" Red growled, manning the wheel again, and actually managing to avoid the various blobs, till finally they reached a single large area...and they noticed the bottom of the boat starting to sizzle.

"We're in the stomach," Barry gulped.

"Ah! Look over there!" Salamon and Patamon both shouted, causing them to look at where they were pointing to see a Black Gear.

"So I guess some DID survive Devimon's destruction," Paul mused.

"Well, we'd better get rid of it," Falcomon said as he floated up. "Someone grab hold of me and I'll fly you up there to get rid of it!"

"I'll go, come on." Ash said as he grabbed one of Falcomon's legs and flew up, before aiming his Digivice at the Gear when he got close, the light shining on it and making it break down in pieces while they floated back down to the ship.

"I really hope that was the last one." Serena said in a bit of annoyance.

Before anyone could answer her, the whole area around them started shaking a bit, before suddenly a jet of water started to make the ship move upwards.

"I swear, if this ships breaks, the luxury gods will feel my wrath!" Ash said through gritted teeth as he hanged onto the railing. The ship was soon in the air, before crashing back down into the water. The ship creaked and groaned, but it held together despite the damage it had taken.

"Is everyone okay?" BlackGabumon groaned.

A chorus of 'yeah's was heard. "Good."

"Stop...the...violent shaking..." came a new voice.

"Huh?" Lunamon blinked as she walked over to a crate that happened to get launched out of the storage room in the chaos. "Did anyone else hear that?"

"Why do I feel like I've heard that voice before?" Ash and Dorumon mused. They got their answer when Gaomon opened the crate, and out came three figures who ran to the side...and started throwing up.

"We have stowaways?" Leaf blinked ins surprise.

"Yeah, and I recognise these ones. The troublemakers of File City apparently, the black dino is BlackAgumon, the samurai looking one is Ryudamon, and the golden armored one is Zubamon." Ash said with a sigh.

"Okay...why are they here though?" Falcomon asked.

"Why don't we ask them...when they're done throwing up anyway..." Barry sighed.

"In the meantime, we should deal with Whamon," Paul said, just as Whamon resurfaced.

"Thank you, young ones, thanks to you I'm finally free from that dark influence." Whamon told them.

"We were happy to help." Dorumon said.

"Besides, this means we're just pissing off Devimon from his grave by getting rid of more Black Gears." Red added with a laugh.

"Devimon you say? I actually remember seeing him in these parts a few years ago, he came around here and hid something deep beneath the waters." Whamon remembered after recovering from his surprise.

"Maybe it's the Tags." Gary realised.

"Do you think you could take us there Whamon?" Ash asked hopefully.

"Or course. However, as it is underwater, please take refuge in my body," Whamon said. "Fear not, I can control what goes on in my body. You'll be safe not that the Black Gear is gone."

With that, their ship once more entered Whamon's mouth, though this time they stayed there instead of travelling down his throat as everyone was given a glow stick so they could actually see.

"Now then, while we travel there...what to do about you three?" Ash said with a sigh as he looked down at the three troublemakers.

"Why not start with why these three are here," Gary suggested.

"That works, yeah. Care to explain?" Ash said.

"Going to Server sounded fun! So we hopped in a crate and snuck on board." BlackAgumon exclaimed.

"Yeah! And I bet we can learn stuff to help us beat the old mon!" Ryudamon added.

"We'll show him who's boss!" Zubamon finished.

Everyone looked at the trio for several moments, before sighing. "Why do we get stuck as babysitters?" Barry groaned.

"Because apparently stupidly impulsive kids is a universal concept..." Ritchie sighed dryly. They may have been kids to but they knew this was serious business.

"Well, no choice I guess," Dawn sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"What do we do with them?" Lunamon asked.

"Take care of them until we can send them back to File, and make sure they don't get themselves killed." Red sighed.

"We won't get killed!" BlackAgumon protested. "We're strong!"

"Can you evolve?" Dorumon asked dryly, earning silence from the trio. "That's what I thought."

"Let's just...focus on getting the Tags for now." Ash said with a sigh.

True enough... "We have arrived," Whamon reported as he came to a stop before opening his mouth, revealing that they were in a cave of some kind, which was actually very spacious. "The objects Devimon hid should be here. I will wait here till you all return."

"Thanks a bunch, Whamon," several of the Digimon grinned as they all got out.

"Not you!" Dawn suddenly pointed to the trio who were about to get off the boat. "You three are staying here, and if we see you actually get off, you're in trouble, is that clear?" she said with narrowed eyes while smacking her staff in her hand to further her point.

The three looked at her a bit nervously before nodding in union.

With that problem avoided, the group of 20 walked on into the cave, curious about what they would find, until...

"Really? A convenience store?" Zoey asked with a bemused looked on her face as she looked at the store.

"It's literally a 7/11." Red added as he looked at the glowing neon sign above the door.

"Well...it could be worse. It could have been a garbage disposal." Ash shrugged.

"Good point," several of the others nodded as they walked in.

"Now...looking at this place I think we should split up and search. With all of us covering ground we should find the tags rather fast enough...assuming they're here anyway," Gary suggested.

"Good idea," Barry nodded.

Before they could even move into the store however, the ground shook, before it burst open in front of them, revealing...Drimogemon?

"Is...is that another Drimogemon?" Leaf asked, blinking in surprised.

"No, that's NiseDrimogemon, the only difference between the two is that his mustache is scribbled on." FanBeemon said, and everyone looked at the mustache which was, indeed, drawn on in maker.

"That's the dumbest difference so far." Ritchie said dryly.

"You think that's bad? Since evolving I've gained some new information, there's a variation of Angemon that wears pink instead of blue and has less wings." Patamon shot back.

"Okay...what?" Zoey asked, though it seemed she was trying to hide her laughter at the mental image THAT gave her.

"Okay guys, weird recolors aside, I think we should focus on the Digimon in front of us." Leaf reminded. Just in time too, as they had to dodge a swipe of the claw from NiseDrimogemon.

"He's definitely not friendly," Serena chuckled, before hefting up her staff.

"Hey guys, mind if we ask you all to stay out of this one first?" Ash said.

"What?" the Digimon gasped.

"Well, we just got this weapons," Red chuckled.

"And we want to put them to good use." Dawn finished.

"Well...okay, I guess..." Bearmon said, looking a bit unsure.

"But we're gonna jump in the moment things look dangerous," FanBeemon said.

"Fair enough," the humans nodded, before they set their sights on Drimogemon, and with the wide cavern, moving around wouldn't be an issue, though the boys kept the sheaths on their swords.

(Run Around by Jasan Ranford)

NDrimogemon growled as he moved forward, drill nose spinning, aiming at Ritchie who simply stood there, before once again like he did with Leomon, he moved out of the way at the last moment, causing Drimogemon to plow into a wall, while he and Gary took the chance to hit him the back hard. He roared in pain as he got out, and turned to face them...only to get hit in the face by the four staffs welding girls at once. He tried to fight back but the girls moved swiftly and gracefully, though it was a distraction as he was in on the gear by Red, making him go off course, making him ram into the convenience store.

"Careful guys, we don't want him accidentally destroying the Tags!" Zoey warned as she threw a rock at NDrimogemon, catching his attention and leading him out of the store.

"This starting to feel like bullying to me!" Red grinned as he launched some flares at NDrimogemon making him cover his eyes.

"Let's not prolong this more than we have to," Paul stated as he and Barry ran forward, both of them ramming into NDrimogemon causing him to teeter back, and they kept pushing, making him lose more balance...and revealing a Black Gear in his chest.

"Of course..." everyone sighed, before Gary pulled out a fishing rod from his bag and threw it at the gear, catching it and pulling it out as hard as he could, causing NDrimogemon to turn and roll on his back.

"Put an end to it Ash!" Zoey stated as Ash lifted up his sword.

Strange thing is, for a moment, they saw Ash's whole body flash white for a moment before bring down his sword and smashed the Gear to pieces.

Ash looked at his hands when he felt that strange feeling but decided to wonder about it later as now was not the time.

(Run Around by Jasan Ranford end)

NDrimogemon quickly shook his head clear as he rolled back onto his stomach, noticing exactly how many people were looking at him, and eeped as he tunneled back underground.

"Ok...I think that was the last one this time." Ash said with a relieved sigh as they all put away their weapons.

"At least he didn't break the store too much." Gary said, indicating the entrance which was the only broken part.

"That was pretty awesome though!" Dorumon said, walking up to Ash.

"Totally! I didn't think humans could fight like that!" Salamon added in agreement.

"Yeah, because we learned how to!" Serena said with a cheer.

"We all had a tough P.E. teacher who used to be in the military, and taught self defense, also we took classes with Kendo and bo staff lessons." Leaf added in with a amused smile.

"Now we just need to get the doors open." Barry said.

"Give us a moment!" Paul said as he and Red walked up and pulled on the doors and with some effort, the doors opened up.

When they stepped inside, they were all surprised to see just how stocked the place was.

"Grab everything!" Zoey said as everyone did just that, grabbing everything they could and stuffing it into their hammerspace bags.

One of the fines was a bit weird to Ash as he said his mom use these, but made him realise something. "Hey, girls! Are any of starting to have problems needing these?" Ash said as he shook a pack of, well, period pads.

"Gimme! I need one!" Dawn said as she walked to him and grabbed an offered one before going into the bathroom. The other girls looked at each other, before taking some themselves, though they thankfully didn't need them quite yet.

The group continued searching till... "hmm?" Patamon mused as he saw something, before squeezing under a fallen shelf.

"Did you find something, Patamon?" Ritchie asked. He got his answer when out came a small chest/box, followed by Patamon.

"Think this might be it?" he asked.

"Well, only one way to find out," Serena grinned as she came and picked up the box, and promptly opened it.

"Serena..." Salamon groaned at her partner's antics.

"Here they are!" Serena grinned, turning the box around and showing it to everyone. True enough, inside were 10 tags, exactly like how Gennai had showed them.

"Perfect," Barry nodded, before they all each took one(including Dawn who'd gotten back from the bathroom by now)

"All we need are the Crests and we're good to go," Dawn said as she put her Tag around her neck, something they all soon followed suit.

"Alright, everyone go to the bathroom before we leave, we still have some shelves to clean out... for the girls, still have more of these if you need them, don't know why though." Ash said, adding the last part when he held up the pads, still not knowing as he was still dense.

While they were finishing up with clearing the store out, Red turned as he felt someone tapping his shoulder, before Ash handed him a bag. "Enjoy." was all he said with a grin, prompting Red to look down...and see a bag of beef jerky, making him smirk as he looked back at Ash.

"Nice." he muttered, yet still put the bag away in his bag because they were his favorite.

He was planning on saving them for later, because he knew they would save his life one day.

It wasn't long before they were back over the water, standing on Whamon's head while their ship was safely in his mouth. Their journey was far from over, but now they knew they had the first half of means to get a fighting chance.


Hey guys, DragonForceAsh aka zenotai123 here with another update for ya.

Well the kids met Gennai and went to File City.

The met Jijimon and the Trio of troublemakers and even gotten weapons to fight back with.

Now they have a both and a new friend to take them to Server Continent.

The humans have proven able to fight back and even impressed the Digimon.

Now that they have the Tags, they can continue on to Server to find the Crests.

But what lies ahead of them there?"

Are they truly prepared for the Perfect Level Digimon that resides there?

You'll have to find out on the next chapter of The Digital Adventure!

P.S. if you're wondering why the kids can fight, I think it would be better since the season 1 and 2 kids don't do much to help except for helping them evolve.

If you're wondering where I'm going with this, go read the chapter of the fanfiction story called Digimon Tamers: Rika's AU by TMan5636 and you'll understand soon enough.

Alright, that's all I have to say for now guys.

Enjoy the chapter.

Leave some reviews.

Keep reading and I will see you guys later. ;)
