Water-Part V
"If the water continues to enter the room at its current pace, it will be above my head in about one and a half minutes. If it continues after that, it will reach the top of the cage in approximately six minutes," Izzy stated, trying to sound calm even though the water was already lapping at his shoulders.
Sora had already picked up TK because the water had gotten too high for him to breathe if he stood on the ground.
"But she can't!" TK whimpered, gazing at the ever-climbing water.
Izzy grimly shook his head and responded: "I'm afraid she can and she will" then grimaced-the water was touching his chin. Pretty soon he'd have to start treading water.
"There has to be some way out!" Tai insisted.
"The bars aren't going to bend or break; you've tried that already. Unless you see a key anywhere nearby, I'm afraid we're sunk," Sora answered.
The water covered Izzy's mouth and nose forcing him to tread water to breathe. The ever-present laptop that was strapped to his back was heavy, making him work harder to stay above the water.
TK looked down into the churning water fearfully and something bright glinted, making him squint.
Before he could say anything about it, Sora warned: "TK, I've got to let go of you now so I can swim. I'll try to help you stay up, OK?"
TK nodded and felt Sora let go of him. He did the only thing he knew how to do: tread water. After a moment of getting used to the feeling of nothing under his feet, TK remembered the bright flash and stated: "I saw something under the water. It looked like metal."
"You don't think it could be a key, do you?" Sora hopefully queried. "What are the chances of that?"
Tai quickly dove underwater and retrieved the bright object. With a grin of triumph, he brandished his find: a key.
"Quick, try it!" Izzy shouted.
Tai swam over to the door of the cell and fitted the key into the lock. His smile quickly faded and he tried again.
"It's not the right key," he finally sighed.
Everybody let out a groan of disappointment and cast a worried glance at the top of the cage-which didn't seem nearly far enough away...

Water smiled and stated: "oh, don't worry. I won't let you go down without a good fight. I've wanted to test my strength. And only one Digivolve per Digimon. This little room prevents that."
With a snap of her fingers, Gatomon, Gabumon, Palmon and Gomamon appeared.
"Let the fun begin," Water smirked.
"Quick, Digivolve!" Mimi cried.
The four Digimon Digivolved to their Champion forms (except for Angewomon, who was an Ultimate) and stood in front of their respective children, all dwarfing Water.
"Humph, and I thought I'd get a little CHALLENGE!" Water grunted. She jumped from the geyser, changing from humanoid form to water form and splashed into the river.
Less than a second later, a powerful blast of water sped toward Kari, Matt, Joe and Mimi.
"Look out!" Togemon warned, blocking the shot. The blast was so powerful it sent the giant boxing cactus plowing into the wall far behind them. She glowed and reduced to Palmon.
"Palmon!" Mimi gasped, racing over to her friend. "Oh, Palmon, please be all right!" she whispered, hugging the nearly unconscious Digimon tightly.
Quite suddenly, Water leapt into view, human form again and she smirked: "this is too easy."
"Harpoon Torpedo!" Ikkakumon shouted, launching the mini-bombs at Water.
She dodged with a graceful back flip and landed perfectly directly in front of the waterfall. With a flick of her wrist, Water redirected the course of the waterfall to Ikkakumon, battering him against the wall to the point that he, too, De-digivolved.
Joe rushed over to his injured Digimon to find him very weak.
"I'm sorry, Joe," Gomamon whispered.
"It's OK. You tried your best," Joe reassured.
Garurumon leapt at Water, trying to catch her with his jaws, but she easily moved out of the way and sent a blast toward him from behind.
"Garurumon, look out!" Matt warned. The giant wolf Digimon turned and jumped out of the jet's way just in time.
"Howling Blaster!" he cried, sending the beam of ice toward Water.
Water smiled, took the hit and quietly stated: "thank you. I can always use a good pick-me-up."
With that, she sent a water cyclone at Garurumon. Though the wolf was strong and agile, the cyclone was too fast and it caught him, whirling him around and around. Matt shouted in concern for his partner and friend as the cyclone stopped, depositing Gabumon back onto the courtyard ground.
Water gracefully leapt into the air and landed on the geyser, which lifted her high above everybody else.
"Celestial Arrow!" Angewomon shouted, aiming the attack at Water while her back was turned.
In a flash, Water whipped around and caught the arrow.
"Don't attack when my back is turned again. I don't like people that do that," Water warned, throwing the arrow back at Angewomon.
The reaction had been so unexpected, the weapon hit the Angel, throwing her back to the ground. A powerful jet of water hit her, forcing her back into Gatomon.
"Too easy," Water yawned...
