Hello everyone! Sorry for the long wait, it took me a while to finish this. Maybe I will rewrite this sometime, as I don't think it turned out that good. I hope you still like it. Please read and review.

Chapter 15: Sora's Choice
Yamato and Takeru landed in London and immediately realized they knew nothing about England or the city.
"Oh crap."
"What?"
"I just noticed I have no idea where Sora is staying. "
"You didn't ask her?"
"Why would I? It's not like I've been here, so it wouldn't make a difference."
"Well, I guess we'll have to ask around for information."
"I guess so."
"Hey, you can text her! Ask for her address and we'll find a way to meet her."
"But I can't tell her Piyomon has been kidnapped by the enemy right away, Takeru. She will freak out."
"Hmm, you're right. Tell her a situation came up and we need her help too."
"I guess that could work." Yamato took out his cellphone and typed a quick message to his best female friend.

Sora was lying on the hotel bed with her digivice on her left hand, staring at the non-stop red blinking point. Her tennis coach and her crew decided to stroll around the city, but she was just too worried about her partner to go with them. Things were already off to a bad start. The auburn haired girl rolled over just when her cellphone rang. She couldn't help but smile at the name on the screen.
"Yamato." She rolled back on the bed, still smiling.
"Hey, sorry to bother you. Is it a bad time?"
"No, not at all. Everyone went to the city, but I didn't feel like going. What's going on?"
"Uh… well, I don't know how to tell you this, but."
"I know." She interrupted him. "My digivice beeped."
"Oh." Yamato hesitated. "I didn't know you brought it with you."
"We all carry it around, right?"
"Right."
"So, when are we going?"
"What?"
"Don't play dumb, Yamato. To the Digital World."
"Well, I'm in England with Takeru. So as soon as we meet, I guess."
"Wait!" Sora sat down. "You and Takeru are here?"
"We had to tell you somehow. But then we realized we've never been to England before."
"I know. I could easily get lost here."
"So what do you wanna do?"
"You know my coach is gonna be so pissed when she finds out I'm gone without even playing a match."
"Yes, she will." The blonde smiled on the other side of the line. "Does that mean you're…"
"Of course. Like I would prefer playing this match over saving Piyomon. Can you tell me where you and Takeru are? I can hail a cab and meet you."
"Uh, I guess so."' Yamato looked around. "There's an apartment building and a church right next to it."
"That doesn't help much." She laughed. "Is there any sign with the name of the street nearby?"
"Yamato, look!" Takeru pointed at a group of people taking a picture on a zebra crossing.
"Why are people doing that? Taking a picture on a crosswalk?"
"Now I know where you are!"
"What?"
"Seriously, Yamato. Are you really a musician? Everyone knows about Abbey Road!"
"I guess I need to study history of music a little more."
"A little? How come you don't know about the famous road from one of Beatles' albums?"
"I don't need to remember everything."
"You were the one who told me about it. How funny."
"Sora, are you going to meet us or not?"
"Don't be pissed at me for your lack of memory. Yes, I am. But we have a problem."
"Another one?"
"What will I do with my luggage? I can't take them to the Digital World."
"Can't you ask your coach to take it back with her?"
"Are you kidding me?" Sora said loudly. "Yamato, I can't do that. I'm ditching the whole competition. She will be way too angry."
"Right. Yeah, that's a bad idea." The blonde started to think. "What if we pick them up after we save Piyomon?"
"There's no way I'm leaving my belongings here!"
"Fine, so take them with you." Yamato sighed. "We'll wait for you here."
"Okay."
"So, do you want to have some coffee?" Takeru asked after his brother hung up the phone.
"Sure, why not?"

Meanwhile, in the Digital World, me and the rest of the group were trying to find the Kaiser's headquarter, but we haven't been successful so far.
"Do you think Yamato has found Sora already?"
"I would like to think so." I replied. "Though England is a big country."
"I think she knows something's up. That is, if she carries her digivice with her."
"Well, I guess all of us carry them. That's so strange, but it's like we're expecting an enemy to show up but we don't have our partners with us to defeat them."
"Koushiro!"
"Tentomon!"
"Did you find Palmon?" Mimi asked.
"Yes, I did."
"Where is she?"
"She didn't want to come."
"What?! She didn't want to see me?"
"She said she didn't want to say goodbye to you for the third time, so she preferred not to come."
"I can't believe this." The pink haired girl fell to her knees.
"I'm sorry, Mimi." I knelt next to her and hugged her. "But maybe she will change her mind. She did it in the first time, remember?"
"Yeah, but I know her. Besides, it took her some convincing before she changed her mind. Maybe it's better this way."
"We can still find her if you want."
"I do." She smiled. "Thanks."
"Takeru just e-mailed me and said they found Sora. They should be here soon."
"That was fast. I thought they would take longer."
"They must have used the digivices to meet."
"Come on, we need to continue walking."

As Sora began to walk down the street to meet the brothers, the realization hit her. Her partner had been kidnapped. She had no idea what to do or how things were in the Digital World. Or even worse, if there was anyone else there to save her before she gets there. The auburn haired girl was brought back to reality when she felt her phone vibrating on her pocket.
"Hello?"
"Hey, where are you?"
"I just got off the cab. I'm heading to the coffee place now."
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I guess." She sighed. "Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well I called you three times before you answered."
"What?" Sora took her phone away from her ear and stared at the screen. "I'm sorry, I think I got distracted with my thoughts."
"This I know. What's bothering you?"
"Like you don't know. Piyomon was captured by the enemy."
"Sadly." Yamato appeared on the sidewalk, followed closely by Takeru. "But we are aware of the situation and are doing everything we can to bring her back."
"Is that so?"
"Also, there is something else we need to tell you."
"What?"
"The Kaiser is also holding Agumon hostage. I know you're probably going to be angry to find out so late, but I didn't want you to stay in Japan and miss this opportunity."
"You know I would prefer helping Taichi, Yamato!" She shouted. "He's my best friend!"
"I know, Sor." He tried to make her be less angry at him with the nickname. "But you have been working so hard for this competition. We had everything under control."
"But it was my choice! You chose what was best for me!"
"We all told you she would be upset, Yamato."
"Don't judge me, Sora. This was a huge opportunity for you."
"But my friends come first. You don't understand!" She cried. "If I was there I could have stopped the Kaiser from getting Piyomon."
"Okay, we can talk about it later. We need to go to the Digital World as soon as possible."
"Where did you two manage to find a portal here, by the way?"
"It was in a park near here."
"Is there a park near?" Sora asked and received confused glances from Yamato and Takeru. "What? I said I didn't get to see the city."
"Right."
"So, tell me. How is Taichi doing?"
"He's a mess, as expected. But you wouldn't believe if I said he's lost his hope."
"Taichi? Lost his hope?"
"That's right."
"You're right, I don't believe it." She smiled. "But I know what he's feeling. Not being sure if we're getting our partners back."
"We are. Just have faith."
"Thanks for cheering me up." She smiled.
"Oh God, just kiss already!"
"Takeru!" Yamato called him out, blushing.
"Everybody knows there's a sparkle between you two. You like each other, so what's stopping you?"
"It's not that simple."
"It's never that simple, is it?"
"What do you know anyway? You're eleven!"
"Apparently I know more than you do."
"Shut up." Yamato turned to Sora. "I'm sorry about this. Don't listen to him."
"Why are you apologizing on my behalf? I'm not sorry."
"Since when you talk to me like this? Did you learn it from your friends at school?"
"Yamato." Sora meddled in. "It's okay. Don't be angry at him. He's just a child. Your brother has always been really sincere."
"So, he didn't offend you?"
"Of course not." She reassured him. "If it were someone else, I probably would have. But it's Takeru. It's impossible to feel anger when it comes to him."
"See?" Takeru stuck his tongue to his brother.
"Don't push your luck."
"Can we just go now, please? I need to see Taichi."
"Yeah, sure."
"Digital Gate, open!"

"Takeru is taking too long, don't you think?" Patamon said worried.
"A little. But it's to be expected, since he's in a different city."
"Yeah, but hopefully they'll be here soon."
"I just received an e-mail from him." I said as I took my D-3 out of my pocket. "He said they found Sora and are on their back."
"Thank God."
"What?" Mimi grabbed her digivice and stared at the blinking red point on its screen. "Palmon!"
"Mimi!" Jyou yelled when his friend started running.
"I think she found Palmon, let's go." Koushiro ran after her and we all did the same.
"Palmon!" The pink-haired girl slowed her pace when the beeping sound grew louder. "Palmon, where are you?"
"Mimi?"
"Chumon?" She said and then bent down to his level. "Did you see Palmon around? My digivice brought me here."
"I saw her, yes."
"Really?" Her face lit up with a smile. "Can you take me to her?"
"She doesn't want to see you, but it would make you happy. So yes, I can."
"Thank you so much!" She grabbed and held him tight.
"Mimi, you're hurting me!"
"Mimi!" Taichi yelled from a certain distance and caught her attention.
"I found Palmon! Come on!"
"Are you serious?"
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say she's hidden among the plants once again."
"Once again?"
"Yeah, she's done this before. She hid because she didn't want to say goodbye to me. I really thought she wasn't going to show up at all."
"Maybe she changes her mind this time. You never know."
"I did."
"One of these days you're gonna give me a heart attack, I swear."
"I'm sorry, Mimi.
"I forgive you, silly. I love you." She hugged her partner tight.
"See? Everything worked out in the end." Taichi said with a smile.
"Almost everything." Mimi looked up at him with a smirk.
"Uh, I know nothing about that." He tried to talk it off, causing all of us to laugh.
"Takeru and the others are near." I said as I grabbed my digivice and looked at the screen.
"Great, it was about time!"
"I'm sorry for making you wait." Takeru said as he, Yamato and Sora joined us.
"It's okay. We knew it wouldn't be an easy task. You two were actually fast."
"Did you get to see Piyomon? Was she really…"
"Kidnapped by the Kaiser? Unfortunately, yes."
"I wonder what he's thinking by capturing our partners."
"He's using them as a weapon to defeat us, Taichi." Koushiro stated. "He knows we will think twice before fighting one of our friends. Well, two, in this case."
"So what's the plan now?" Sora asked. "Have you thought of something?"
"Well, we are going to invade the Kaiser's headquarter and save both Agumon and Piyomon if we can."
"If we can?"
"You know it's not something easy. We have to move carefully.
"You say that because it's not your partner over there. Yours is here."
"Calm down, Sora." Jyou said.
"Koushiro is right, Sora. I know what you are feeling, Agumon is there too. Everything has to go right. We don't know what's gonna happen if we mess something up."
"You have a point. I'm sorry." She apologized. "So do we know what his headquarter looks like?"
"Not a clue. It could be anything. I wish it was easier, the Digital World is so tricky."
"Sora, what did your coach say when you told her you had to miss Wimbledon?"
"She doesn't know. She went to the city when Yamato called me. I feel bad because she's gonna find out the worst way possible."
"Your mother will freak out when she hears."
"Oh my God! My mother!" The auburn haired girl covered her face with her hands. "I completely forgot about her! She will ground me for the rest of the year!"
"Just tell her it was for a good cause. She will understand."
"You don't know my mother, Yamato. She's the strictest woman ever. You don't want to contradict her."
"But I do know her, and you're exaggerating. She's tough, but not that much." Taichi meddled in.
"You're not her son, so you don't get to talk."
"Geez, calm down"
"This is exactly what I wanted to happen." The Kaiser's voice echoed around, making all of us look at him. "I see you are already fighting with each other."
"It's gonna take a lot more for that to happen."
"Right." He said ironically. "Maybe this will do it."
He whistled and an Airdramon came flying and dropped two fainted Digimon next to him.
"Agumon!"
"Piyomon!"
