Chapter 16 up. Hope you like it. It's full of a bunch of sappy emotions which will seem out of character for those involved up to this point. But, they are MY characters, so deal with it.
~Where Jesse and Heromon are~
Jesse could faintly hear a voice. "Jesse, please wake up," the voice said. It sounded worried. "Jesse, please don't die," the voice says. It sounds as if the speaker was crying.
Jesse slowly opens his eyes. "I'm still alive," he manages to croak out, "you're not that lucky, you know." All Heromon can do is hug Jesse fiercely.
"I thought you were dead!" he says as tears flow from his eyes. Jesse is stunned at this. Heromon rarely showed any emotion towards him except anger.
"Well this is a pleasant change," Jesse whispers as he hug Heromon, "I didn't think you cared."
"You're my partner, how could I not care?" Heromon demands as he looks at Jesse when he lets him go, "you've been asleep for who knows how long."
"Where are we? Jesse asks, "is it night? Is that why its so dark?"
"I don't know," Heromon says, "the last I remember before waking up here is attacking Dragomon with all of my energy as MagnaWarriormon. I don't think I was out for long. Everything that is supposed to be light here is darkness, yet I can still see."
"Is what is supposed to be darkness light then? "Jesse asks.
"No, its even darker darkness," Heromon says, "one things for sure: we didn't defeat Dragomon. I've had to run carrying you to get away from him a time or two. I finally found this cave far enough inland to get away."
"Then we're at a beach of some sort?" Jesse asks, "where's the crest Weapon of Honor?"
"The Crest Weapon is beside you," Heromon says, drying his tears, "and we are at a beach of some sort. There's a lighthouse, but the light its showing is dark light (A/N: If you don't know where they are now, then how dare you call yourself a Digimon fan?!) that is like a passing shadow. To tell you the truth, it gives me the creeps more than Dragomon did. Dragomon I could fight. Thuis just attacks my mind and how can I fight something that attacks my mind and not my body?"
"A dark light?" Jesse asks, "help me up. I wanna see."
~The Digital World~
"He's gone," Samantha whispers, "I can't believe Jesse is gone."
"Yeah, out of all of us here, I expected him to make it back home," James says sadly.
"But we gotta carry on for him," Brain says, his fists clenching in anger at Dragomon, "that's what he would have wanted."
Daniel is crying too hard to speak. Tapirmon and Samantha and Biyomon try to comfort him while dealing with their own grief.
"He was strong, and he sacrificed himself for you," Pixiemon says, "he truly deserved the Crest Weapon of Honor."
"Let's try getting to Server," Whamon says, "perhaps the Watchers can find a way to bring him back, because I don't think they are dead."
"Right," Brian says, let's go to Server and find a way to get our friends back!"
~Back in the world where Jesse and Heromon are~
"What did you say to them?!" Jesse demands of Heromon as they are running, dodging fireballs.
"I simply asked them where in the Digital World we were!" Heromon says as he blocks a blast from hitting Jesse.
Behind them were several Dragon Digimon. They were blue, with a white chest and a blue "V" on their upper torso. They had a horn on their nose and two horns on the back on their heads. They were extremely well muscled. Their snout and their forearms were also white.
"We are Veedramon!" one of the Digimon cry out, "we are Mythical Dragon Digimon and we don't like outsiders! Run, puny ones, or be destroyed by our V-Nova Blast attacks!"
"Man, they are strong!" Jesse says as he jumps to avoid being hit by a V-Nova Blast.
"Whats worse is that they have reinforcements," Heromon says, pointing ahead of them.
"We are ExVeemon," one of the man/Dragon Digimon says, "we are Mythical Dragon Digimon with great fighting skill. We are the rivals of Veedramon and we battle them with our Vee Laser attacks."
With that, the group of 10 ExVeemon let loose their Vee Laser attacks. The energy blasts hit some of the Veedramon, destroying them.
"V-Nova Blast!" the remaining Veedramon bellow as they let loose their attacks. Jesse and Heromon hit the ground to avoid being caught by a stray attack.
"Vee Laser!" The ExVeemon cry out as they return fire. The fireballs and every beams collide and explode with great force, right above Jesse and Heromon.
"Hammer Punch!" a Veedramon who had managed to sneak through the crossfire yells as he strikes a ExVeemon. The Hammer Punch crushes the ExVeemon's left arm. The ExVeemon bellows in pain.
"Vee Kick!" the ExVeemon yells as he kicks the Veedramon. The two Mythical Dragon Digimon begins exchanging physical blows. Before long they have put too much energy into the fight and they disintegrate.
Jesse and Heromon begin crawling to get out of the line of fire.
"Who knew ExVeemon and Veedramon were so temperamental?" Heromon asks.
~In the Digital World, a few days later~
"Land ho!" Brian calls out as he looks from Whamon's front.
"It's Server!" Samantha says.
"It's beautiful," James says as he looks at the shore.
"Home sweet home," Pixiemon says wistfully.
"Man, look at all of those trees!" Daniel says as he points to the shore, "Jesse and Heromon would love this place."
As soon as he says those words, tears begin to well up in his eyes. James' happy face is turned to sadness. Samantha begins to cry as well. Brian just plain looks like an emotional wreck. The Digimon reflect their partners looks.
"Don't worry Daniel, I'm sure we'll see Jesse and Heromon again," Tapirmon says, "I'm sure they are alive and are trying to find a way to us as we speak."
~Back with Jesse and Heromon~
Next time, I'll go up and ask them where we are," Jesse says as he and Heromon run from yet another swarm of Digimon. This time they looked like ghosts mixed with a dentists worst nightmare.
"How was I supposed to know they were a bunch of Bakemon?" Heromon demands, "Bakemon are Champion level Digimon that can take the shape of not only other Digimon, but humans as well. They normally haunt graveyards and dark places, so its only natural we'd find them in this dark place."
"Well, aren't you gonna fight them? "Jesse asks.
"I haven't eaten in a while so I'm feeling a bit weak," Heromon says, which is accompanied by his stomach growling, "so I couldn't digivolve if I had to. Plus, I don't fight as well when I'm hungry."
"Then our only option is to keep running?"" Jesse asks.
"That and hopefully find a place to hide, and maybe some food," Heromon says as his stomach growls again.
~Back in the Digital World~
"I will lead you to the base of the people who are fighting the Beast of Darkness," Pixiemon says to the kids and Digimon as they wave goodbye to Whamon, "they may be able to help us get Jesse and Heromon back."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Brian asks, "lets get going!"
Pixiemon leads them through the forest, past a Koromon village and past a small town filled with Rookie Digimon.
Finally, a week after they arrived on Server, they reach Pixiemon's home. As it turned out, he had a tunnel that led to where they wanted to go, and it was safe and the tunnel was well stocked with food all along the way.
~In the world where Jesse and Heromon are~
"Heromon, I have seen practically nothing but beach and ocean ever since we got here," Jesse growls, "no matter how far inland we go, we can still see the ocean. And whats more surprising is that we can see anything at all because this world is completely covered in darkness."
"Yeah, its overwhelming," Heromon says in a low voice.
"I think we had better name this place, so we can have something to call it when we get back to the Digital World," Jesse says.
"You mean you don't think we're in the Digital World anymore?" Heromon asks, surprised.
"Maybe a twisted version of it, but no, I don't think we're in the Digi World anymore Heromon," Jesse says with a sigh.
"So what should we call this forsaken place?" Heromon asks.
"Seeing as how its dominating feature is that dark ocean, how about the Dark Ocean?" Jesse suggests.
"Works for me," Heromon says, "Hero Beam!"
He launches his attack at a fish that was jumping out of the water. The attack hits it dead to rights and knocks it out. Jesse retrieves the fish, cleans it, and cooks it for Heromon over the fire Heromon started with his Hero Sword attack on some rocks and twigs.
"I can't wait to get back to the Digital World so we can eat something besides fish," Heromon says.
"Same here buddy," Jesse says.
The two friends finish their meal in silence, listening in case one of the dark Digimon of the Dark Ocean should overhear them and decide to attack them.
Well, how do you like it? If you didn't know where Jesse and Heromon were, then you're an idiot. I'm sorry, I don't want to sound mean, but how can you call yourself a fan of Digimon if you don't know of the Dark Ocean? There are dozens of fics that have the Dark Ocean in them, and it was a mentioned frequently in the later episodes of 02, particularly when they were talking of other worlds or Kari or Ken were talking about their experiences with the forces of Darkness. Well, I'm off to write the next chapter. Please review.
