Author: Here's Ch.4, hot off the keyboard, thx to the people who read and reviewed! And YES you were right about Gennai! You win the magic peach!
# denotes Ken thoughts

Disclaimer: None of the Digimon or digidestined kids belong to me. Wahhhhh! I want my own Ken! *KAWAIIIII* Only Juubei and Natsukimon, who I thought up belong to me. Unless there's a Juubei and Natsukimon somewhere in the show, in which case I don't own them either.

Ch.4 Promises like Sakura petals

Once Ken could see again, he found himself and the other digidestined and digimon standing in front of a small house near a pond. He couldn't tell where in the digital world he was because all horizons faded into mists. He began to panic when he realized Juubei wasn't in his arms anymore.

"I took the liberty of removing her during the teleportation.", said Gennai, "By now she is bandaged up and sleeping, and before you fry me with your glaring Ken, her room is the second door on the right. Everyone follow me please."

Gennai led everyone up the steps of the house and into a large room with cushions on the floor for sitting. TK was talking with Gennai and the others were chatting among themselves. Ken brought up the rear and ducked down a hallway once he got in. #Second door on the right...#
He quickly slipped into the room, shutting the door quietly behind him. He set Wormmon down and they both tiptoed to the bed. Juubei lay sleeping peacefully under a light quilt. There was a small bandage on her cheek and a larger one one her arm, but he figured there were a lot more under the blanket.

"Juubei forgive me...".
Wormmon crawled up onto the bed and curled up next to Natsukimon, who was already sleeping. Ken carefully laid down on the bed near Juubei and lightly squeezed her hand. "I promise, we'll be together forever, Juubei-chan...", he whispered. Ken yawned and quickly fell into an exhausted sleep.

Meanwhile in the livingroom....

"Alright, it's time I made your true mission clear." Gennai announced to the children. "The darkness that was controlling Ken is the enemy you must destroy. Unless it is wiped out completely, neither the digiworld or earth will ever be at peace."

"Ok!", yelled Davis "Tell us where to find this dark digimon and we'll delete it!"

"You aren't powerful enough to defeat it.", said Gennai.
Several gasps were heard.

"Do you mean we need to become stronger?", asked TK.

"There's not enough time left for that option.", answered Gennai. "Only Juubei and her Nova Crest are powerful enough to destroy it, but she'll need your help."

"Just who is this Juubei girl anyway?", asked Davis.
"Yeah, and what's with her digimon, I've never seen one like her's before," wondered Kari.

Gennai sighed. "It all started a long time ago..." *flashback scene*
"It was during the time I and my colleagues were trying to create the crests. We weren't having much luck. I went for a walk to clear my mind, when a woman appeared before me. I thought she was an angewoman from the sky. Her name was Ceres, and she was a computer programmer from Earth. She had created a digivice in her lab and had been transported here. Not knowing how to return, she joined me and my colleagues and helped with our research. Due to her expertise we were able to finally create the crests. She created a crest for herself, the Crest of Nova, and a special digimon, Miramon. Some time later we had a daughter, Juubei and were living happily together at the lab facility. Unfortunately, disaster struck before Juubei's second birthday. Some Robotmon attacked the lab while Ceres and I were conducting research on some digieggs. Ceres and Natsukimon fought the Robotmon while I used a battlesuit to escape with Juubei, the crests, and the digieggs. I looked back as I was flying away, hoping to see Ceres following, but instead a large explosion occurred, sending me reeling. I landed and thought about going back, but Natsukimon came flying up and turned back into Miramon. She dropped the Nova Crest in my hand and said all the Robotmon had been destroyed, but so had the lab, and Ceres. I created a forcefield around a part of the digiworld to hide in and raised Juubei as best I could. Now she's ready to join the rest of the digidestined."

Yolei and Kari were crying into their tissues. TK and Cody were looking at different points of the ceiling and blinking. Davis went over to a trashcan and started kicking it.

"Alright!," said Davis, after he beat the trashcan into submission, "Enough crying already, let's go get that darkness and make it pay for all the suffering it's caused!"

"First, why don't you all get some rest. Juubei should be well enough to travel by tomorrow. And you'll all need your strength to face your futures," said Gennai.

Everyone agreed and walked to different rooms of the house.
