Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
Author's Note: Thanks to all of the people who review my story! All of you are so great! This fic itself has helped me in a lot of ways. I used to be so nervous about writing stories for fear that people would hate it. Now that I've gotten all of these reviews, I feel confident! And I've also made a new friend. Thanks to everyone. Don't worry. I'm not going to quit the fic or anything. I plan on getting this story over fifteen chapters! And I have all of the reviewers to thank for it! I just wanted to say thank you. Now, onto chapter eleven!

A New Kind Of Digivolving-Chapter 11-To Protect Or Not To Protect

"I should've protected them better! I'm supposed to be the leader! Some leader I am," Matt mumbled to himself.

"If you think that you did a bad job at protecting them, then so did I. All of us protected them the best we could! We'll get them back, I promise. It may be hard, but we've been through a lot!" Mimi said to him.

"Mimi's right, Matt! We'll get them back! We'll make sure that they pay. We just need to work together!" Izzy added.

"Maybe if we joined up with Tai, Sora, and Joe. Maybe we DO need to be together. Maybe that's the only way to defeat the Dark Masters and our new enemy. But that means we need to get T.K. and Kari back. We need to get them back," Matt said.

"We don't need to catch up with everyone else! We can do it just fine! We made it this far, didn't we? And we can go to Primary Village and get reinforcements. We can get T.K. and Kari back!" Mimi said.

"Maybe you're right. But maybe Sora was right, maybe we SHOULD have just let Tai be the leader," Matt said.

"And go back to the way that Tai was treating us?! Are you crazy?!" Izzy exclaimed, "I don't know about you, Matt, but I don't fancy just being known as the genious of the group."

"Tai has let leadership get to his head. His ego has taken control of his mind! Now that we're gone, maybe he'll finally get it through his head that he's not invincible. Until then, and even after that, you're our leader. Start acting like it. Do you want to sit around and mope or do you want to go find those Dark Masters and get our friends back?" Mimi asked Matt.

"You're right. Lets go! We need to get reinforcements and defeat the Dark Masters once and for all!" Matt said, standing up.

"That's the Matt I know!" 'And love,' Mimi added mentally to herself.

'I guess I do love him. He's always been there for me. I know that after all of this is through, we'll get together, somehow,' Mimi thought happily.

"Are you guys almost there?" Gennai asked Leomon and Andromon.

"I'm about a mile from their location," Leomon answered.

"I'm about two miles. You'd better keep them headed towards Primary Village, Leomon," Andromon said.

"Got it," Leomon said.

"How's Centarumon doing?" Andromon asked Gennai.

"He's about three miles from the location of the missing pieces. He's moving as fast as he can to get that stone," Gennai replied.

"I can smell the digidestined's scent. I'm going to sign off now. These kids are going to need a lot of help if they're going to defeat this new enemy," Leomon said. A beep was heard by Gennai and Andromon as Leomon stopped communication with them for the time being.

"I better sign off too. Hopefully I'll get there a few minutes after Leomon," Andromon said. Another beep was heard and Gennai was all alone in his thoughts and fears.

In the real world, all of the people who had loved ones in the Digiworld were worried and anxious for this terrible experience to be over.

'I hope that they get to keep their digimon with them, after this whole thing is over. They have a bond that can never be broken. It'd be a heartbreaking experience for all of them,' Jim thought to himself.

"I can't wait until I transform into a digimon!" Tai said to Sora and Joe as they walked along to Primary Village.

"It'll be cool! We'll all be digimon!" Sora said happily.

"Tai? Sora? Joe?" the three heard a very familiar voice say.

"Andromon!" they all turned and said.

"What are you doing here?" MarineAngemon asked.

"I'm supposed to be finding Matt, Mimi, Izzy, T.K., and Kari. I'm on my way to Primary Village," Andromon explained.

"Well, we're on our way there too! Why don't you come along with us?" Tai offered.

"As long as we get there fast. Some bad stuff is happening and I need to join up with Leomon as soon as possible!" Andromon said.

"We'll get you there and help you with whatever problem you have!" Tai said.

"I just hope we're not too late," Andromon said.

To Be Continued...
