"Do you guys know where Hollemon's Castle is?" Tai asked the digimon. All of them shook their heads at the same time. "Hmmm... this is harder than I thought." The Digi Destined sighed as they were getting no where. Izzy sat down and started to type on his computer. Suddenly, Gennai walked across the screen.

"Whoa! E-mail from Gennai!" Izzy yelled. The Digi Destined and digimon gasped as they surrounded around Izzy. Izzy's cursor moved its way over to Gennai and Izzy clicked on him. Gennai started to speak:

"Izzy, I'm glad to finally have reached you. I am alive here at Hollemon's Castle. All he captured me for was to make some digivice Hollemon calls the 'Prototype Digivice'. After I am done, I will be deleted. I need your help. Coordinates to Hollemon's Castle are attached to this e-mail. Whoa, one of Hollemon's goons are coming! See ya!" The audio stopped and then a blue text box showed up and yellow text in it read the coordinates to Hollemon's Castle. Izzy memorized the coordinates and he called up a map of the Digi World. A flashing red dot showed the Digi Destined's current location. Izzy typed in the coordinates Gennai gave him. He waited as the computer loaded in the data and began to find the castle. A flashing blue dot appeared that was a little far away from the red dot.

"Prodigious!" Izzy whooped. "I seem to have found the location of Hollemon's Castle. It is a few miles away from us, on a new continent."

"Great," Sora said sarcastically, "how do we get there?"

"Yeah," Joe piped in, "Zudomon won't be able to do it; he'd get tired and then we'd be stranded out on sea."

Izzy nodded. "I don't know guys, we'll have to make ourselves a canoe like we did when we had to get to Server to fight Etemon."

"I say we just see what will happen later. It's no use to stay here," Matt said.

The Digi Destined nodded and they started to get out of Gennai's yard. They then trekked up the stairs leading to Gennai's house.

Hollemon's Castle...

Gennai laid back in his chair. He had just e-mailed Izzy and hoped that they were in the Digi World.

"Hello Gennai,you appear to be a little tied up" a voice said out of no where in his head.

Gennai stood up in his chair so fast that the chair fell and clanked on the floor. Gennai continued to listen. "If you weren't such a fool,you wouldn't have been caught".

Gennai thought his capturing had made him insane because he heard the voice in his head. Gennai gathered enough strength to say, "Who are you?"

"No need to know that now,what you need to be worried about is your Digi Destined...."

"Why?"

"Because before this is all over, they will be dead"

"What?!" Gennai couldn't believe what this voice in his head was saying. He still thought he was thinking or hearing things.

"Yes Gennai, you heard me, they'll be dead"

"What will happen to them?"

"Hollemon will destroy them"

"How do you know all this?"

"The Digivice Hollemon is createing will let him digivolve"

"But he can't digivolve! Hollemon is at the highest stage, mega!"

"MUHAHAHA, you are a fool, Gennai, I myself, am a DigiGod!"

"DigiGod?"

"Maybe your laptop has something on me"

"When you find out old man, it'll be too late for you all......." After the voice said that, there was an eerie silence. Gennai waited with dread for the voice to say something again. When he heard nothing, Gennai sighed with relief. He bent over and grabbed the back of the chair. He bent his back and the chair went back to its original position before falling on the floor. Gennai swooped his legs around and sat down.

"What was that all about?" Gennai started to work again, putting together the Prototype Digivice...

Outside Gennai's House...

The Digi Destined and digimon had gotten out of Gennai's house. The Digi Destined contemplated what they should do under a shady tree overlooking the lake that concealed Gennai's house. "The best thing we could do is build a raft," Izzy told them. They were out of ideas of how to get Gennai, so building a raft was the best one. The Digi Destined and digimon nodded and they got up. The digimon and their partners each focused on a tree and they brought it down with a few attacks. Patamon and Gatomon needed to digivolve to get a tree down. Once all the trees were down that they needed, Gatomon chopped off ends of the trees with her claws. After every tree was endless, they used some rope Joe had brought to tie the trees together. Once that was done, they brought it out to a beach that lead to the ocean.

"That raft should be steady enough to guide us to Hollemon's Castle," Izzy commented. As the raft was pushed out to sea, the digimon and Digi Destined hopped on. Izzy called up the map Gennai gave him. "We should be at that continent which Hollemon's Castle is on in about 4 hours," Izzy announced to the gang. As soon as Izzy finished, the sky darkened as quickly as a lightning bolt striking the ground. Everyone awed at the sudden turn of events. "That's...impossible!" Izzy yelled over the now roaring thunder. The waves started to pick up as the raft started to get temporarily tossed through the little waves.

"What's happening?!" Mimi screamed as she held on for dear life on the floor of the raft.

A voice pierced through the roaring thunder. "Dark Lightning!" As soon as the voice finished, a huge bolt of energy similar to the one that Metaletemon shot at Mimi last time they were in the Digi World. The only exception was this bolt was pitch black.

"Not again!" Mimi yelled as she watched in horror as the bolt was on a collision course with their raft. Suddenly, a wave made the raft fly off to the side. A split second later, the bolt hit the water, causing a gigantic explosion. Massive amounts of water flew in all different directions. The bottom of the place where the bolt hit could be seen! The gang shielded themselves as they were pelted with tons of gallons of water.

The kids lost their grip of the raft as they shielded themselves. The waves started to pick up and one had a head on collision with the raft. The kids screamed as the raft exploded and the kids and digimon were hurled through the air along with the logs that made the raft. They all slammed into the water with too much force that it knocked T.K. and Kari unconscious. Gomamon managed to get to the surface of the water. He struggled to keep his head up as it was battered every second with water. He could see all of the Digi Destined and digimon rapidly sinking. Gomamon couldn't take it.

"Gomamon, digivolve to... Ikkakumon!"

Ikkakumon dove in the water with no trouble at all after the humans and digimon. The huge waves managed to have no effect on Ikkakumon's bulky body. Ikkakumon's first priority was Joe, T.K. and Kari. Joe couldn't swim and T.K. and Kari were unconscious. He swam through the depths of the ocean with all his might and he managed to get under the sinking bodies of the Digi Destined and digimon. He managed to stay there until he felt the bodies fall onto his back fur. Ikkakumon hastily got to the surface, back to the roaring thunder and huge waves. Ikkakumon knew he had to get bigger to carry the Digi Destined to safety.

"Ikkakumon, digivolve to... Zudomon!"

With Zudomon's size and his shell, he could carry the Digi Destined and manage to withstand the waves hitting him at every second. To make things worse, regular lightning started to strike everywhere. Zudomon looked up to the sky. A lightning bolt lit up the sky as it careened towards the ocean. When the lightning bolt first came out of the sky, Zudomon thought he saw a creature that looked like a cross between Devimon and Venommyotismon with a cloak covering its face. As soon as Zudomon thought he saw it, it was gone. Zudomon shook his head, not wanting to start seeing things. He needed to get the Digi Destined to safety. Zudomon used his huge arms and legs to propel him out of the storm's reach. After much struggle, Zudomon had gotten out of that horrific storm, and out in the nice daylight. Zudomon sighed with relief as he had gotten out of the storm. Zudomon's struggle through the storm had taken a lot out of him. He thought he saw land up ahead, but couldn't confirm it since he de-digivolved, hoping the ocean would carry them to land...
