Despite successfully rescuing Kellyn, Kate and Rythmi, Ryuji, Chitose, Yu and his Digimon disappeared after a confrontation with Team One World's leader. Now the team questions what they will do regarding their missing friends...

Everyone gathered in Rand's place. "So where did they go?" Yuugo asked.

"I have no idea…" Monodramon replied. "Before we knew it, Ryuji, Chitose, Yu, and Whamon were gone."

"There's no doubt in my mind." Kyoko said. "This was Team One Worlds trap."

Yuuko looked at Takumi and Ami. "This is just like what Crusadermon did to you two." The twins nodded.

"But why was he targeting Hudie?" Ben asked.

"You don't think they'll do what Kincaid nearly did to us, do you?" Kate asked.

"This is my fault." Rand sighed. "Splitting up the team was my idea."

"That's not true." Rythmi said. "You guys wouldn't have been there if we didn't let ourselves get captured."

"Guys we can beat ourselves up over this and fight for the blame all we want." Takumi said. "But that won't solve anything. The best we can do is stay calm, find a way to locate our friends." After he said that all eyes were on him. "…Did I say something wrong?"

Date shook her head. "No, it's just…I wasn't expecting you to start acting so…mature all of the sudden."

"I'll say." Nokia nodded. "And to think this was from mopey here who was so hung up on going wild earlier!"

"It's a sign that you're growing up." Rand smiled warmly.

"I agree." Matayoshi nodded. "You kids have all come a long way."

"But back to the topic at hand, how do we find Ryuji, Chitose and Yu?" Solana asked.

"I have an idea." Kyoko said. "Where there are Digimon, there's Team One World. And before our Ranger friends here got abducted, they installed something to help detect them."

"That program you sent us to the Wireless Tower for?" Kellyn asked.

Kyoko nodded. "Good thing they didn't notice what you were doing there when they attacked you. If they sabotaged the tower like the Pinchers did, we'd be without our trump card."

"I see where you're going with this." Prof. Hastings smiled. "The purpose of the program is to locate Digimon. If we use it to find a location with multiple Digimon together…"

"Then we'll know that's where Team One World is hiding!" Solana gleamed. "Kyoko, you're a genius!"

"There is just one small problem." Yuuko said. "The Wireless Tower will only be able to scan small areas. And it needs to cool down for a few minutes after each scan."

"Not to mention the scanning itself takes time." Arata said. "The program we made is more like a prototype we wanted to test, and we're still working out the bugs."

"So, it'll take some time before we can find them." Lunick said. Arata nodded.

"We don't even know where to start looking." Kellyn said. "How annoying."

"Not true." Kyoko smirked. "Thanks to something my assistants mentioned in their report from your battle with Zapdos, I think we have a good clue where to start."

The Aiba twins smiled and nodded to their boss before Takumi looked at the group. "Ben, Summer, Nokia, do you remember when we first went to Mt. Layuda three months ago?"

"Like it was yesterday." Ben replied. "We were chasing after Purple Eyes. We flew there on Latios and Latias. It was our first time riding them."

"And boy, did it show." Nokia muttered, remembering their crash landing.

"Do you recall what we saw when we landed?" Ami asked.

"Huh?" Summer gave her an odd look. "Well, the whole area was desolate. Ruined."

"And?"

"Umm…Oh, there were Z.Z. Flyers lying around. But they were all trashed."

"Exactly." Takumi nodded. "But when you guys went back to Mt. Layuda to find Zapdos, did you see any Z.Z. Flyers?"

"Hmmm." Yuugo pondered quietly. "Now that you mention it, no there weren't any."

"Dosen't it seem weird that the damaged Z.Z. Flyers were moved?" Ami asked. "Nobody comes to Mt. Layuda."

"Good point." Leanne said. "And I doubt Team One World felt the need to cross that storm, just to retrieve them."

"Bingo. But what if say, they just happened to be in an area they frequented, and they decided to clean up the mess, thinking it was in the way?"

"You think they've been to Mt. Layuda before we saw them there?" Ben asked. Then it hit him. "Wait a minute…Are you saying their hideout is on Mt. Layuda?!"

"Think about it. There were a lot of members of Team One World there. More then there were on the other mountains where the other two legendary birds were." Takumi explained. "And no wild Pokemon in sight."

"Not to mention we saw Ice, Lavana and the leader of Team One World there." Ami added. "And then there's that weird trap Keisuke was caught in. That clearly wasn't something you can set up on the fly. They had to have had it there for quite some time now."

"Plus, remember what the leader said when we met him?" Takumi grinned. "You simply have no idea how frustrating it was to have a piece of the armor right here and not be able to do anything about it". That seems to imply he's been frequenting the island for a while. Maybe even before the armor part showed up there."

"But that place sure didn't look like any villain hideout." Fei objected.

"The hideout might not be Mt. Layuda per say." Ami replied. "But maybe there's an entry point to the hideout from there."

"I get it!" Kate said. "We scan around the island, and we'll pick up where that point of entry is!"

"Takumi, Ami, that's incredible!" Yuuko smiled. "Just like that you isolated their location!"

"It's only a theory we had." Takumi replied. "But with the scanning program we can now confirm it."

"You two really are becoming real deal detectives!" Keisuke grinned. "All you need now are the trench coats and fedora hats and you're all set!" Everyone laughed as Takumi and Ami chuckled bashfully.

Kyoko turned to Nema. "Nema, start running a scan on and around Mt. Layuda. In the meantime, I'll call for our Royal Knight friends. We could use the extra firepower."

"Alright. It'll take a few minutes, so get ready in the meantime!"

Takumi looked back at Ami, Nokia, Arata, Yuuko and Yuugo. All of them nodded to him. Takumi nodded back before he tapped Keisuke on the back. When the black-haired boy turned around Takumi whispered to him. "While we're waiting, can we talk outside? Bring Hudie's Digimon out with you."

"Okay." Keisuke signalled Tentomon, Monodramon, Armadillomon and Patamon to follow him as the others went out. They all went out of the house and stepped onto the open field.

"Is something wrong?" Monodramon asked.

"Well…" Ami sighed. "First off, Tentomon, Monodramon, Armadillomon and Patamon, I don't know if Keisuke told you yet, but the six of us and our Digimon, like you guys, all remember what happened in our worlds before they were transformed."

Patamon perked up. "What? Really?"

"The chosen ones Hudiemon mentioned…" Monodramon muttered. "They were you?"

Takumi nodded. "As a matter of fact, the six of us stumbled upon your world eight years ago as kids."

"Yes, Hudiemon told us that." Tentomon nodded. "She also mentioned how the chosen ones also accidently brought the Eaters into existence."

"Ahem!" Monodramon glared at him as he cleared his throat.

Tentomon then noticed how ashamed, and uncomfortable Takumi, Ami and their childhood friends looked. "Oh…sorry. Forget I said anything."

"What happened back then wasn't your fault guys, you were just kids!" Keisuke said.

"He's right." Monodramon nodded. "Nobody in Hudie finds it just to hold what happened by accident against you."

Takumi tried to smile. "Thanks guys. But not everyone feels the same. Like Crusadermon and Leopardmon. And we've already come to accept that."

Ami nodded. "That's right. We won't run away from the consequences of our actions."

"But enough of that. When I was undercover as X I heard you guys talking out here. I know you all remember what happened. But it sounds like Ryuji and Chitose don't."

"That's right." Armadillomon nodded. "Their memories were changed along with their world. They forbought about Digimon."

"Forgot, not forbought!" Patamon said.

Takumi chuckled. "Well anyway, while Keisuke, and Tentomon were with that team that went to see Blue Eyes the six of us talked about it. We're kinda in a disagreement right now."

"About what?" Tentomon asked.

Takumi looked at his friends behind him. "Nokia, Yuuko and I want to tell Ryuji, Chitose and Yu everything."

"They deserve to know." Nokia said. "We already told Kyoko, Matayoshi, Date and Fei. Besides, Ryuji and Chitose had strong ties with you Digimon. It makes me sad thinking about how they forgot you."

"And they played an essential part in the events that occurred in our two worlds." Yuuko added. "It doesn't seem right to let them forget. Even if it makes them unhappy, they need to accept what happened just as we did, to make sure sad events like that don't repeat themselves. They're strong. I'm sure they can handle it."

"And the ties they share with you could make them essential for getting humans and Digimon to get along." Takumi said. "Maybe that can help us make a world where Digimon can live with us in peace. Erika included."

Ami looked at the two boys behind her. "Arata, Yuugo and I are against telling them."

"Right." Arata looked down. "Knowing what happened will only make Ryuji and Chitose suffer. Especially if you put Erika into account. What if they never recover from the shock? I don't want to see the tragedy that nearly happened with me fall upon either of them."

Yuugo nodded. "Plus, we had nothing to do with Hudie's side of events. It isn't our story to tell."

"And we're the ones responsible for humans and Digimon coming together before." Ami added. "Bringing them together peacefully should be our responsibility."

Takumi looked back at Keisuke. "So, after a bit of a heated debate, we decided that as the only other human that remembers these events, we should let you be the one to break the tie."

"Honestly it makes more sense for you to decide then let the decision be made by a vote from us." Ami said. "You guys know what Ryuji, Chitose and Yu went through better than we do. That's why we wanted you Digimon to hear this as well."

Keisuke stayed quiet with a glum expression.

"I guess this isn't the best time to distract you with a big decision like this." Yuugo admitted. "You don't have to decide right away. Just…take some time when you can to think it over."

Keisuke shook his head. "No. I don't need to keep you waiting. I already made up my mind."

"Good. But before you say…" Takumi looked at his friends sternly. "Let's make this final now. What Keisuke decides is what we're going with, no ifs ands or buts. Clear?" Ami, Nokia, Arata, Yuuko and Yuugo nodded. "Good. Go ahead Keisuke."

Everyone stayed quiet as they eagerly awaited Keisuke's next words. He took a deep breath. "I don't want to tell them. Arata's right, it'll just bring them pain and misery. And I get what Nokia and Takumi are saying. Yeah, it makes me sad that Chitose and Ryuji forgot those they were so close to and it's true that if they didn't it would help us keep things peaceful between humans and Digimon. But even if we told them, that's not the same as them regaining those memories. Their bond wouldn't go back to what it was. And like Ami said, bringing peace between humans and Digimon is something we should keep with those who do remember."

"I agree." Monodramon said. Tentomon, Armadillomon and Patamon nodded.

Nokia thought for a moment. "Maybe you're right…"

"Well…that settles it then." Arata said blankly.

Yuuko sighed. "…Very well. If that's what the majority of the group believes then I will respect that decision."

"Same here." Takumi nodded. "I'll believe that Keisuke's choice is the right one."

"Thanks guys." Keisuke smiled. "I really appreciate this."

"No problem." Ami smiled back.

"But are you guys serious about brining humans and Digimon together? Is that even possible?"

"I believe it is." Takumi replied eagerly. "Yuuko and Yuugo told us about it. And EDEN is the key."

"It's a place where us Digimon and you humans can exist freely!" Terriermon said. "It's the perfect thing to bring us together!"

"That was what father wanted to make EDEN in the first place. To bring people together." Yuugo smiled. "We're just expanding his dream."

"But how would you bring Digimon into EDEN again?" Tentomon asked.

"There has to be a way." Yuuko replied. "It happened before, and it can happen again. That's what we vowed to figure out as soon as we get home."

"Or maybe we can even get them into the real world!" Nokia grinned. "I know it was hectic, but it was kinda fun to hang out with all of them there!"

"Let's say it is possible." Monodramon said. "And you do bring Digimon either into the human world or EDEN. If it's the former, then it's far too likely that conflict between our people will break out like before. And if the latter, then what's stopping hackers from misusing Digimon for their selfish whims again?"

"What you're saying is true." Ami admitted. "Conflict will be inevitable. And there may be people who view Digimon as tools for selfish schemes."

"But that's why it'll be up to us to keep conflict like that from spreading!" Palmon said. "As the ones who remember the mistakes Digimon and humans made before!"

"So, far we talked about this with Fei, FanBeemon, Gallantmon, and UlforceVeedramon." Guimon said. "All of them are onboard."

"But having you guys helping would make a huge difference." Agumon said. "You've bonded with humans and Digimon before."

"So, what do you guys say?" Keramon asked. "You in?"

"Absolutely!" Keisuke nodded. "I know it won't be easy, but we can make it possible! What do you guys think?"

Tentomon, Monodramon, Patamon, and Armadillomon looked at each other. Then at him. "This could get dangerous." Monodramon said. "There are plenty of Digimon who don't think highly of humans."

"But that's only because they didn't take the chance to get to know humans!" Patamon said. "The don't know anything about them!"

"Yeah! Heck back home I met a Digimon that thinks humans have tails!" Terriemron added.

"And even if we are different that doesn't mean we can't get along!" Nokia added. "I mean look at the humans in this world and their Pokemon!"

"It is true." Yuuko nodded. "Actually, the EDEN I want to make is inspired by the inhabitants of this world. I'd like to think what we've seen here is proof that we can make a world that our races can share."

"But this world is also proof of conflicts that can be breed from that kind of union." Monodramon said. "Such as Team One World."

"I won't deny that." Arata replied. "There's also the Pinchers and the…"

"And the…?"

"Nothing. Just thinking to myself. But humans and Digimon have conflicts with each other in their own words, right? That's a part of having free will. I like to see that as another thing we have in common."

"Agreed." A voice from above said. Everyone looked up and saw Gallantmon descend before them. Then UlforceVeedramon.

"Gallantmon! UlforceVeedramon!" Takumi walked up to them. "Man, you got here quick."

"Apologies for eavesdropping." The white clad knight replied. "I was intrigued with your discussion."

UlforceVeedramon looked at Keisuke. "We heard everything. So, you too remember the events that occurred in your world with us. Excellent. Having more people familiar with Digimon further aids our cause."

Gallantmon turned to Monodramon. "I understand your concern. It is true that this union we plan on may cause problems. Perhaps more then we realize. But problems can be solved if others are willing to come together and reach an understanding. These humans here taught me that."

Monodramon folded his arms. "Logical words. What I'd expect of the Royal Knights. Hmmm…I won't deny being intrigued. And knowing Hudiemon she'll be interested as well. But I hope you won't take this lightly. I'd hate to see another tragedy like the Eaters happen again."

"I understand." Ami nodded.

"Speaking of Hudiemon, where is she?" Gabumon asked. "If she's your leader, she could be a great help with this battle and forming a human/Digimon alliance as a half human half Digimon."

"What?" Gallantmon asked. "A half human half Digimon? Is such a thing possible?"

"It's a long story." Nokia replied.

"She's in this world." Tentomon replied. "Somewhere."

"Somewhere?" Arata asked raising an eyebrow. "That's not too reassuring."

"When Hudie came to this world, we were all decorated." Armadillomon replied.

"All what?" UlforceVeedramon asked raising an eyebrow as Tentomon whispered in Armadillomon's ear.

"I mean separated."

"If she's lost in this world, shouldn't we focus on finding her?" Nokia asked.

"Ryuji and the others are in immediate danger." Takumi said. "We should focus on saving them first. After that we can use the scanner to start looking for Hudiemon."

"Takumi's right." Keisuke nodded. "Hudiemon can definitely take care of herself. Besides, if I let something happen to Ryuji, Yu, or Chitose because I was so worried about finding Erika, she'd smack me with Memetan again."

"Um…with what?" Gallantmon asked. Tentamon, Monodramon, Armadillomon and Patamon laughed.

"Hey guys!" Nema ran outside. "Gallantmon! UlforceVeedramon! You're here!"

"We arrived as quickly as we could when we got your message." UlforceVeedramon nodded. "Have you located them?"

"Sure have! They're…"

Blue Eyes was in a dark room. Ser limps were suspended apart from each other in metal binds that covered her hands and feet connected to a ring around her. From the sides of that ring a clamp closed in around her midsection for good measure. She held hung low as she was left there alone, unable to move. She already tried breaking free, but the binds were far too strong. She was interrogated by the grunts that brought her here earlier and was now exhausted.

Suddenly the door in front of her opened and Ice casually walked inside. "Well, well. And here I thought the boss was pulling my leg. Recruiting a former commander of the Pokemon Pinchers without realizing. Lavana was far too careless."

Blue Eyes weakly looked up. "Oh, it's you." Ice strode over to a terminal near Blue Eye's restraints. He pressed a few buttons and the metal bonds zapped Blue Eyes. "Eeeeeeeyaagh! S-s-stop! I h-h-hate sh-sh-sh-shocks!"

Ice pressed another button and the shocking stopped and Blue Eyes slackened. "Want it to stop? Tell us who else is working with you here."

Blue Eyes panted before responding. "For…the billionth time…" she muttered between pants. "I'm working alone…"

"Tch! If you are lying, you're being annoyingly stubborn about it. Well, whatever. Thinking about it, it really doesn't matter either way. We're close enough to our goal. Nothing can stop us now."

"Care to elaborate on what that is?" Blue Eyes asked.

"Oh, I think you've been nosing into out business long enough. Time to remove you as an obstacle."

"R-remove?"

Ice grinned as he took out a purple visor. The same ones the One World Grunts wore. Wires from the terminal were plugged into it as he started typing. Once he was finished, he walked over to Blue Eyes and tried to put them on, but she shifted her head away as he tried to put it on her face. "Hold still!" After a few seconds Ice growled in annoyance and pressed a button on the terminal, zapping Blue Eyes again. She screamed in pain before going limp making it much easier to put the visor over her eyes. "There. Good girl." Ice then continued working at the terminal.

Blue Eyes shook her head around in an attempt to get the visor off. Then suddenly is displayed a purple swill enveloping her vision. She gasped weakly as her actions slacked.

"Rather convenient, Kincaid's education." Ice grinned. "With this we can turn any obstacle into an asset."

"Under Mt. Layuda?" Ben asked.

Kyoko nodded. "Multiple Digimon signals were found under the island. There's no mistaking it. Team One World is hiding under there."

"Sneaky." Kellyn muttered. "It didn't seem like their base was the mountain itself, but we never suspected anything was under it."

"Well, we know where they are now, let's stop these clowns and get our friends back!" Kate said.

"Easy there Kate." Yuugo said. "It's not like we can just walk into their hideout and stroll right up to them."

Lunick nodded. "We already raided the mansion they were hiding in. We won't catch them ill prepared a second time. There will be heavy defences."

"So, what's our plan?" Date asked.

MegaKabuterimon flew through the dark skies carrying Keisuke. Behind him were Date with Kerpymon, Matayoshi with Garudamon, and six Staraptor carrying Kellyn, Kate, Keith, Lunick, Solana and Rand.

"Well, the good news is, ever since Zapdos was tamed, the thunderstorm around the mountain lightened up." Leanne explained. "So, you won't have to worry about getting struck by lightning on the way."

"That means we can use any flying Pokemon or Digimon to reach the island." Rand said.

Keisuke looked behind him at the person ridding MegaKabuterimon with him. "Are you sure about this Kyoko?"

The detective smiled. "It's about time I entered the field with you kids. Being a good detective involves taking risks. Besides, you'll need me for this one."

"I'll be going with you guys." Kyoko said. "I've been analyzing their security, so I may help you get past it quickly if I'm there with you. Prof. Hastings, Rythmi, Leanne, Nema, Tokomon and Calumon will stay here as our navigators."

"Roger!" Calumon gleefully saluted.

Rythmi was on a laptop she brought with her to Oblivia and had a headset on. Prof. Hastings watched her. Nema was at her computer with Leanne.

"Stay safe everyone." Rythmi whispered.

"First we need to locate the entrance to the underground hideout on the island." Kyoko explained.

"So, we go through the whole island and all the caves in it? That'll be one heck of a search." Kate said.

"No need for that. I know how to make it easier. We just need to get their attention. Our heroes of Oblivia, and our Royal Knights will be in charge of that. I detected a hidden camera near the bottom on the mountain in front of a cave…"

Latios and Latias landed near the bottom of Mt. Layuda with Ben and Summer. Then MegaGargomon and Takumi along with Dianamon and Ami. Floating nearby were Darkdramon carrying Arata, Omnimon carrying Nokia, Megidramon carrying Yuuko, TigerVespamon carrying Fei, Gallantmon, UlforceVeedramon and Yuugo on a floating big, round gold Digimon with a crown and cape.

As they watched their friends Fei scanned Yuugo's Digimon. "PrinceMamemon. Data Mega Level. That's a new one."

"We can't afford to fall behind with all of you continuing to grow." Yuugo smirked.

Back on the ground Ben spotted a camera on the mountain wall and picked up a rock. He looked straight at it with a grin.

Deep under ground a member of Team One World watched the monitors showing everything the cameras were facing.

"Hey, assorted One World losers!" The man was startled to hear Ben's voice as he looked at a screen showing him with the other Cyber Rangers close behind. "Anyone feel like some exercise?" He threw a rock at the camera smashing it. The monitor showed only static.

"Ack! Did he just…?! You brat, these cameras don't just grow on trees and set themselves up you know!"

"Problem?"

The man turned around from his chair to see Ice and Kincaid. He immediately stood up and saluted. "Commanders Ice and Kincaid! It's the Cyber Rangers! They've arrived at Mt. Layuda!"

"Where?" Ice asked.

"At the cave entrance near the bottom sir!"

"Did they find us?" Kincaid asked. "They couldn't have known our HQ is directly under the mountain, could they?"

"I think so. That Ranger boy threw a rock at the camera."

"What?" Ice looked at the static filled monitor and growled. "No respect for other people's property I see. Then again, why should I expect Ranger brats like him to have class? All the Cyber Rangers are there?"

"Yes sir. And two big, tough looking Digimon I can't recognize."

"It must be those Royal Knights. Gallantmon and UlforveVeedramon. How annoying! Send out our troops and teach them a lesson!"

"Yes sir!" The man got back in his seat, turned around and leaned into a mic. "All battle ready personal, depart for cave 01 and eliminate intruders, this is not a drill! Be advised, all members of the Cyber Rangers are there!"

Kincaid cringed. "All the Cyber Rangers…that means Takumi and Ami as well…"

Ice turned around. "I've been meaning to ask…Is what you reported about the mansion incident true?"

"You think I'd make something like that up?! I thought they were going to obliterate me! They're dangerous!"

"If it wasn't for them, I'd have that annoying chump Kellyn and his bratty sister as my lowly underlings. What bad timing."

"Drastic measures will be needed to deal with those two. I must make preparations for when they get here."

Ice watched Kincaid leave before departing himself. "And I better go get my new puppet ready."

Ben and his team waited at the cave entrance. "Think this'll work?" Summer whispered.

"We're about to find out." Takumi replied.

Suddenly shouts and footsteps were heard coming towards them. Ben grinned and cracked his knuckles. "Here comes the welcoming committee!"

Ami fist pumped. "Time to party guys!"

One by one members of Team One World stormed out, summoning Pokemon and Digimon.

Takumi and the others got into fighting position. "We just need to hold their attention…"

From high above, Keisuke and his team watched the chaos unfold. "It's begun." Keisuke said plainly. "Better get started."

Kyoko nodded as she took out her Digivice.

"While they grab One World's attention, I'll use my Digivice for a scan on the mountain to see what point they're coming out of ground from. If my Digivice is there, it'll boost the signal of the scan. Once that's done, I'll update the location to our navigators."

Back at Rand's place, Rythmi's headset picked up Keith's voice. "This is Keith. We-

"Ahem!" Nema scolded as she held her headphones against her ear.

"Seriously?"

"You guys promised!" Calumon scolded.

Keith sighed. "Alright, alright. This is Red Team, Yellow team, come in."

"We read you Red!" Nema replied eagerly. Leanne sighed in exasperation.

"Kyoko found the location."

"Got it." Rythmi nodded. "Have her send it to us."

"On it's way."

Rythmi's laptop beeped. "Got it!"

"Good." Prof. Hastings nodded. "As soon as Ben, Summer and the others- Nema cleared her throat again and Hasting smiled as he rolled his eyes. "As soon as Blue Team is in the clear, send it to them. Kids these days."

Rythmi giggled. "Yes, sir."

Back with Keisuke's team, Lunick looked up. "Near the peak, huh?"

Kyoko nodded. "Just before Zapdos' nest. The cave inside."

"There's a seal only Ben can open separating the cave and the nest." Kellyn said. "Should we get him?"

"That'll look suspicious." Matayoshi replied. "We need to keep the element of surprise going as long as we can."

"Alright." Keisuke said calmly. "Let's go to the highest cave entrance we can find."

MegaKabuterimon ascended and the others followed. They reached a cave entrance before the Rangers dismounted and dismissed their Staraptor. Rand poked his head into the cave. "Coast is clear, come on!"

They hurried inside. They went deep into the cave. No enemies or wild Pokemon in sight. Shortly after they passed the trap Keisuke fell for the last time he was here, Kyoko stopped them. "It should be around here."

"Okay." Matayoshi nodded. "Everyone, hide. Once Takumi and the others push One World into sending reinforcements, they're reveal their little secret passage."

Everyone nodded. The Tamers withdrew their Digimon into their Digivices and everyone hid.

Back at the bottom of the mountain the chaos ensued. "Burst Shot!"

"The Ray of Victory!" UlforceVeedramon and MegaGargomon bombarded a swarm of Stingmon and Butterfree.

"Latios, Luster Purge!" Ben's legendary Pokemon shot a beam at a Druddigon, knocking it out.

"You're running out of Pokemon and Digimon to throw at us already?" Summer asked. "You better call your friends. If you have any!"

One of the One World grunts growled as he picked up his Controlvice. "We need reinforcements out here! These punks are taking everything we throw at em!"

Keisuke's team was still hiding behind rocks. Suddenly a rock wall that started to lift up, showing a large metal cylinder. "There!" Keisuke said getting up.

Date pulled him back down. "What are you doing?! Wait for them to come out first!"

The cylinder opened and a swarm of One World grunts came storming out. They ran past the team's hiding place, not noticing them as they left to fight Ben's Team. The cylinder then closed, and the rock went back into place.

Kyoko walked over to it with the rest of the group following. "Let's see…" She put her hands against the wall and started brushing it.

"I hope Ben and the others will be alright." Keith said.

"I'm sure they'll be fine." Keisuke said. "They're all heroes."

"You're kind of a hero yourself Keisuke." Kate grinned. "Think of all the people, Pokemon and Digimon you've been helping."

"Huh? That was mostly Ben and the others."

"You should stop comparing yourself to them." Rand said. "They've been doing this for longer than you have."

"He's right." Date said. "I mean you got your Digimon to Ultimate Level already! None of us could do that in the amount of time you've been here you know! You just need more experience!"

Matayoshi smiled at her. "Never thought I'd hear you say that."

"Why? That's the kind of thing you told me when I was still new."

"Said the same thing to me when I was a kid as well." Kyoko added. "Every time I'd bring up how far I was from matching my father." She gasped when her fingers pressed something in the wall that slide in. Everyone stepped back as the rock slid away and the cylinder opened.

Kellyn stepped inside first. "Let's go."

Everyone nodded as they followed. Once they were all in, Keith pressed a button and the cylinder closed and started to go down. After a few moments of descending Solana glance behind her. The back was made of glass. "Hey, look!"

Everyone turned around. They could see the inside of the sea around them. They even spotted some Mantyke and Lumineon swimming around, among other Water Pokemon.

"Amazing…" Date said. "You can't get sights like this at the aquarium back in Ikebukuro."

"Tell me about it." Matayoshi nodded.

"Reminds me of the Oil Field Hideout of Team Dim Sun." Kellyn said.

"Look!" Lunick pointed downward. A gigantic metal rectangle the pipe they were in connected to could be seen. "It's huge! When did Team One World have time to build all this?"

Keisuke closed his eyes. "Hang on guys. We're on our way." Soon they came to their destination and the elevator opened. Keisuke stepped out with determination burning in his eyes. "Let's do this!" Kyoko, Matayoshi and Date were right behind him.

The Rangers posed before following. "Mission on!"
