Bboyz: Re-written again, thanks to foe for the help! I really appreciate it. About the digital world thing, I just made it more peaceful after the D- Reaper was destroyed. It seemed peaceful from the last shots of the digital world in the ending of 'The Runaway Digimon Express'.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Bboyz: Hey......... thanks for the great reviews. You know what? With all your reviews, I know that it's worthwhile to type 'Hidden Past' so I thank you all very much!!!

Jenrya: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Bboyz: You're hyper today......... Terriermon, did you give him sweets again?

Terriermon: I'm innocent I tell you! I haven't been touching any sweets (hiding some sweets under his ear).

Bboyz: And pigs can fly.

Terriermon: What about Patamon?

Bboyz: Different case. Anyway, it'll be better if we get on with the fic. I DO NOT OWN DIGIMON for goodness sake. Do I really have to say this repeatedly?

Hidden Past: Abra Kadabra, an element discovery.

The tamers felt that they were falling down into a bottomless pit of doom when suddenly; they all floated in mid air before landing on a hard and rough ground. The darkness that surrounded them vanished and revealed a rocky and sandy desert.

"That was fun......... It beats the fun fair hands down!" Suzy shouted. The others sweat drops. Henry sighed. He looked around to se how everyone was doing. Everything seemed fine. Guilmon was trying to pull Takato onto his feet. Renamon and Rika had already stood up andwas looking around. Ryo was lying on the ground, relaxing with Monodramon and Terriermon while Suzy swung Lopmon around. Henry sighed again.

"What do we do now? We don't even know where we are........." Takato said. They all looked at Ryo who was obviously not paying attention. Rika went up to Ryo and kicked some sand onto him.

"Akiyama! Are you even listening?" Rika asked. Ryo sat down and smiled. He nodded. He then pulled out his D-Arc and pressed a few buttons; revealing a map of the Digital World.

"Simple, we just do what Orphanimon asked us to do, which is finding the four gems for my D-Arc to unlock the Gate of Dimensions", Ryo explained. Rika looked at him, somewhat confused.

"I've got to hand it to you Akiyama, you are a good listener", Rika complimented. Henry laughed along with Terriermon and Monodramon.

"That makes on of us, Wildcat", Ryo teased Rika. Rika fumed and turned her back to Ryo, heading back towards Renamon. Henry and Takato took out their D-Arcs and did the same as Ryo. They pressed a few buttons to reveal a map of the Digital World.

"So, where should we start?" Suzy asked; a dizzy Lopmon in her arms. The others sweat drops. Henry sighed. Poor Lopmon. Everyone wandered how he survived being with Suzy for so long.

"Well, since we're nearer to the eastern past of Central, we should go there then........." Ryo suggested. The tamer nodded.

"Hey Ryo........." Takato said. Ryo turned around to look at Takato, "Why did you use your map when we got to File Island?" Ryo shrugged and laughed. They then carried on their journey to seek out the gem of the eastern region of Central.

They entered the eastern region with high hopes, only to be confronted by Cherrymon. They all looked confused, especially the digimons since wild digimon doesn't usually attack with a reason.........

"What are they doing blocking our way?" Suzy asked. The others shrugged.

"Cherrymon, what is the meaning of all this? We need to past through and you're blocking the way", Renamon confronted the Cherrymons. They let out an evil laughed which echoed behind around them.

Suddenly, the whole space they were in covered in tall trees, making it impossible to escape. The tamers took out their D-Arc. They looked at they partners who nodded, knowing what to do next.

"Digi-modify! Digivolution activate!" They all shouted together. Their partners digivolved to their ultimate selves. The tamers ordered them to attack the Cherrymons.

"Four against three? That's not fair!" shouted one of the Cherrymons as he lauched his pit pelter attack. The attack hit hard on Antylamon, who de-digivolved.

"Wow, they're strong........." said Lopmon who crawled back to Suzy. Rapidmon and Taomon scanned for the Cherrymon's data. Henry and Rika took out their D-Arc and read what their partners have scanned.

"Currently, they powers have been boosted up........." Rika explained.

"Not just that, but all their stats have raised, making them just as strong as normal mega leveled digimons. There's something else too......... Their power seems to be influenced by darkness........." Henry added.

Everyone turned to face Henry. They all had the same look on their faces, determination. They all held up their D-Arc, all align. Suzy took Lopmon to the nearest tree to take cover for she knows what's going to happen next.

"WarGrowlmon, revert back to Guilmon", Takato ordered. The other tamers did the same except for Ryo. They held up their D-Arcs to the air. Suddenly, a burst of blinding bright light covered all of them, next, revealing all the mega leveled digimon.

Justimon started to attack with his blade. It scratched the Cherrymons a little but not enough to severely damage them. Justimon backed away, surprised that his foes weren't disintegrating yet.

"Wow. They're good. What do we do now?" Ryo asked. Gallantmon, MegaGargomon and Sakuyamon shrugged. They all flew into the air and took their position.

"Amethyst Wind!" Sakuyamon shouted but her attack wasn't strong enough to take out the Cherrymons.

"Lightning Joust! Gargo Missile!" both Gallantmon and MegaGargomon shouted as they combined their attack against one of the Cherrymon, who then disintegrate into tiny pieces of data.

"Great, one down, two to go", Ryo said. Gallantmon and MegaGargomon stared at him. "What, we do need some humor now and then......... I just thought it'll be a good time for a laugh".

"You see us laughing?' Rika asked. She and Sakuyamon have had enough with the Cherrymons. She floated higher than the others and closed her eyes.

"Rika, what are you doing? You're going to hurt yourself!" Henry shouted.

"It's better than all of use getting hurt", she explained. Gallantmon, Justimon and MegaGargomon flew a few feet away from where Sakuyamon was, and then, it all started.

"Spirits of fire, water, wind and lightning. Gather thy powers and work with me", she chanted. Streams of colours surrounded her and circled her. "SPIRIT STRIKE!" All the elements that gathered around her went straight to the Cherrymons and deleted them. Then, all the bio-merged digimons returned to their normal form.

Suzy came back to them, hugging Rika tightly. She then noticed something sparkling nearby and approached it. She then called the others.

"What's this?" Henry asked and picked the item up. It looked like some king of medal, made of solid metal and all dark purple. It had a carving of a somewhat familiar digimon......... a Stingmon to be precise.

Henry took out his D-Arc and scanned the medal. He was surprised at what he saw in the projection that came from his D-Arc. It explained a little about the medal he just scanned.

"Unbelievable, that thing is evil........." Ryo said as he too read the description in the projection. The tamers gathered round and all of them read the description.

"So, it's this thing that made the Cherrymons unbelievably strong.........", Takato said. Henry nodded. Rika sighed as she was a little exhausted from the fight.

"Who made it Henry?" Suzy asked. Henry took the medal and searched for any sign of the maker of the dark medal. He searched and searched but found nothing special except for the letters D and E carved at the back of the medal.

"DE? What's that supposed to mean......... Dark Element! I should have known sooner", Henry said aloud. Everyone turned around to face him.

"You mean it's all the work of the Dark Element?" Takato asked. Henry nodded.

"Well, I think so........." he replied.

"Well, if that's the case then they must have gone past these parts of Central. We should really think about getting the gemstone......... Or we'll never beat them to it", Ryo said as he clenched his fist. The tamer nodded in unison.

The woods around them started to delete itself after the Cherrymons disappeared, leaving them with a deserted desert. Ryo took out his D-Arc and led the group to the inner most part of Eastern Central.

They were now surrounded by huge mountains. The sky went dark (A/N: Remember how night comes in the digital world?) as the tamers searched for a place to camp out for the night. They found a quiet place to rest nearby.

"I never knew digimon had spas too", Takato said cheerfully as they arrive at a hotel up in one of the mountains. They went in and searched for the reception are. Renamon recognize this place as the 'Starmon Mountain Springs Hotel' where most of the digimon comes for rest and relaxation.

"There's no one here........." Suzy said as she found the reception area.

"Well then, we'll just make ourselves at home then", Ryo said with a cheery smile. Rika sighed. She and Suzy took one room while the boys took another.

= = = At the hot springs | Eastern Central = = =

"This is the life!" Takato shouted as he plunged into the hot spring. A few minuted later, he jumped out of the water; his skin all read like a lobster.

"I've never seen anyone plunge into a hot spring......... and now, I know why", Ryo joked. Henry chuckled at the sight of his best friends. Henry then lowered his body into the warm and supple water; with only his head out of the water.

"Ryo, do you think we can get through this situation?" Henry asked. Ryo looked at him. Takato made his way into the spring slowly this time and bathed next to Henry.

"Well, did we think we'd be able to beat D-Reaper at first?" Ryo asked. Henry and Takato shook their heads. "Well, this is a similar situation. With hopes in hand, we'll make it through just fine. They both nodded and smiled.

Terriermon took the chance and splashed Henry with his ears (think of all the water he splashed.........) which soaked Henry's hair. Henry got up from his position and started to splash Terriermon with all his might, then he was joined in by Takato and Ryo who thought Terriermon really deserved it.

"Hey, no fair......... Guilmon, Monodramon, come on and help me guys!" Terriermon called out to the other two digimons who were just lying around, enjoying the view.

"I think I'll pass", Monodramon said as he waved to Terriermon. Guilmon nodded in agreement. Henry, Takato and Ryo laughed as Terriermon failed in calling the other two. Ryo than took the advantage and splashed his next target, Henry.

They played around for a while. Rika and Suzy were in the spring next to them and heard every single conversation they had. They both sighed.

"Boys will be boys........." They said and giggled. Rika stayed in the springs while Suzy swam around in it. They both took the time to relax and forget that the future of the digital world, the future of many digital worlds is in their hands.

= = = The boy's room | Starmon's Mountain Springs Hotel = = =

"This is great. Soft fluffy bed........." Takato said as he jumped onto one of the beds in the room. Guilmon tried to jump on the bed but was stopped by Ryo and Monodramon.

"Oh no, you sleep on the floor", Ryo said. Guilmon put on a sad face and snuggled up in the corner of the room, Monodramon and Terriermon followed behind him. All three of them snuggled up together.

= = = Reception Desk | Starmon Mountain Springs Hotel = = =

"Is everything set?" a dark figured man said as he approached the reception desk. A Icedevimon (A/N: Sorry, not very original) appeared from behind the desk. The IceDevimon nodded and gave a wicked smile. "Well then, what are we waiting for?"

"What?" Henry asked as he awoke from his dream. "What was that about? What is this that I'm feeling? I feel strange, like something's about to happen........."

As Henry closed his eyes again, something did happen. A loud crash came from their doorway, revealing a Icedevimon. All the digimons woke up and got ready to fight. The tamers jumped out of bed and pulled on their trousers.

"Oh no you don't!" Icedevimon shouted as he froze their shirts onto their beds.

"That does it! Monodramon, you know what to do!" Ryo shouted as he held out his D-Arc. Monodramon digivolved straight to Cyberdramon and attempted his Erase Claw but IceDevimon blocked it with a wall of ice. Takato ordered Guilmon to melt the ice as the tamers pulled on their tops. Rika and Suzy ran into the room upon hearing all the commotion.

They all digivolved their partners to their ultimate level. Icedevimon retreated, closely followed by the digimons. Then, they all entered a huge hall. The lights dimmed as they entered the room.

Icedevimon paused when he got to the end of the hall. Then the tamers stopped, noticing that there was a figure lurking in the dark. The figure was hooded and cam into the light.

"Ok comedian, it's not funny anymore, show yourself", Rika said, thinking it was all Ray's work.

"That's not Ray......... Ray's shorter than him........." Suzy said as she tugged Rika's pants. Rika knew it wasn't Ray but she really hoped it was.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you young lady but I'm not the Ray you are talking about. I'm Tibet, destroyer of the eastern region", Tibet explained as he revealed his face. Tibet had dark brown hair and a dark toned skin. His eyes were dark purple and his robe was dark blue.

"What are you doing attacking us?" Ryo asked. Tibet laughed.

"Isn't it obvious......... You're here to retrieve the Gemstone of the East, am I correct?" Tibet asked. They all nodded. "My job is to guard the gemstone with all my strength in order for the Dark Element to rule the digital world!"

"I guessed that was your plan........." Rika said. Tibet laughed. The laughed made Henry shivered. Takato turned to his friend, concerned.

"What's wrong Henry?" Takato asked.

"I don't know, there's something about him that makes me weak........." Henry explained as he dropped to the ground. Takato caught him just before he hit the ground. Henry thanked Takato.

"Good, I see that my powers do affect some of you........." Tibet laughed as he took out his sword. At this, Ryo knew what he had to do. He took out his D-Arc and with all his determination, the D-Arc tuned into a huge silver sword with four little holes near the handle.

"Let's go beat this plump!" Ryo shouted as he and all the ultimate leveled digimon charged for Tibet. Ryo drove his sword through Tibet's chest but somehow, it didn't affect Tibet. Tibet laughed as he turned into smoke and appeared somewhere else.

Henry took out his D-Arc. He scanned Tibet as Ryo kept Tibet busy. When all the data came through his D-Arc, Henry knew that Tibet was one of the Dark Element's henchmen.

"If he is a henchman, I wander what the members of the Dark Elements are capable of doing........." Takato said. Henry stood up with all his might.

"Ryo, he has the sword of illusion. You won't be able to even lay a minor scratch on him if you use you common sense. You need to concentrate hard", Henry shouted as he dropped to the floor again, this time, without Takato's help. Ryo looked at Henry. He wandered what was wrong with his friend.

Takato took out his D-Arc and searched the room for any source of power that might have something to do with Henry being weak all of a sudden. Then, as he scanned where Tibet was fighting Ryo, he found out that Tibet was sucking out Henry's strength.

"Did you know all along Henry?" Takato asked Henry as he turned around to face his friend. Henry nodded.

"I saw it in my dreams. The sword of illusion needs knowledge to make it work effectively. So, Tibet sucked out my energy so he can fight Ryo........." Henry explained. "I only know that we have to find the gemstone before Ryo tires out."

The tamer split up to look for the Gemstone of the East. Takato went with Suzy while Rika went alone. Henry got up and helped them searched but even though he tried hard, he could not fight Tibet's power.

"If only I can find that gemstone........." Henry mumbled as he collapsed in front of the hot springs. Suddenly, the water starts to ripple as it started to glow. With all the light in the room, Henry opened his eyes, surprised at what he saw in front of him.

With all the strength he had left inside of him, Henry got up and reached out to the metallic blue gemstone. As he touched the gemstone, the water around him evaporates. He looked around and saw a viridian orb, glittering. Somehow, the orb was calling him. With the gemstone in hand, he approached the orb slowly.

Meanwhile, the other tamers gathered back in the hall, disappointed at their misfortune of finding the gemstone. They discovered that Ryo was now weakened by Tibet. Ryo was on the verge of being stabbed in the chest when suddenly, the door behind them blasted open and a green aura filled the room.

"It can't be. I thought he........." Tibet said as he released Ryo from his grasp and floated upwards, avoiding the green aura. Ryo looked up and saw his friend Henry at the doorway. Henry face was filled with anger. He tossed the gemstone towards Ryo, who grabbed it and placed it into his sword.

"You have to get up and fight again Ryo; only you have the power to beat Tibet", Henry explained. Ryo nodded and got up. Henry closed his eyes and glowed green. Ryo then floated a few inches in the air and glowed in tune with Henry. Then, Henry opened his eyes and stopped glowing.

"Go Ryo!" Suzy shouted. Ryo was now full of energy after the weird phenomena he just experienced. Henry returned to the group. Ryo ran as fast as he could and tried to stab Tibet, but he failed. Suddenly, His sword grew a little larger and turned jade blue.

Henry chanted a few incantations and the whole room turned bright. Tibet looked surprised. He started to suck out Henry's energy again but failed. Ryo quickly slashed Tibet's sword; which shattered after the impact. Tibet yelled. He was steaming. He then disintegrated into the air.

Ryo landed from where he was. He turned around to face Henry. Henry smiled but Ryo didn't return it. The other tamers too turned to face Henry.

"Would you mind explaining everything?" Ryo asked. Henry opened his mouth but before any words escapes it; the whole hotel begins to shake. "What's happening now?"

All of a sudden, all the tamers were lifted up by an invisible force, dragging them outside. Then they saw a huge creature, a long blue digimon was waiting for them outside.

"So tamers, we meet again........." said the digimon. All the tamers knew the digimon all too well.

"Azulongmon! It's great to meet you again!" Suzy said. Azulongmon nodded. Ryo, with an angry face turned to face Henry again and demanded for an explanation. Henry opened his mouth for the second time but then he sighed, not knowing how to put it all together.

Ryo went up to Henry and grabbed him by the shoulder. Ryo shook Henry violently, demanding for and explanation of what just happened to them. Henry looked up to Ryo. Ryo looked down at Henry. Ryo's angry face turned normal as he saw Henry's eyes. Ryo knew that Henry himself didn't really know what happened.

"I'm sorry Henry, I shouldn't have shaken you that hard........." Ryo said as he patted Henry on the head. Henry hugged Ryo and smile.

"I'm sorry for all this......... I don't know how to explain Ryo. I'm really sorry Ryo........." Henry said as tears fell down his cheeks. Ryo calmed Henry down. The whole group went up to Ryo and Henry and hugged them.

"At least you found the Gemstone of the East for me Henry, and that was a big help. Thanks", Ryo said. Henry looked up into Ryo's eyes and smiled.

"I can explain everything", Azulongmon said. Henry turned around quickly and looked up at Azulongmon. The tamers followed Henry and all eyes were on Azulongmon. "Well, you see......... Tibet was one of the henchmen of the Dark Element. They've placed several henchmen around Central to slow you down or even stop you but out of all the henchmen, there are four warriors. Tibet was the one guarding the Gemstone of the east. Each of these warriors possesses a similar sword to Tibet to go against you, Ryo Akiyama".

The tamer nodded. Azulongmon continued, "These swords possess great powers, like the power of illusion you've just witnessed. Some of them can work on their own and some needs energy from their surrounding. The Sword of Illusions needed energy to work more effectively so it sucked it out for Henry since it needed knowledge. When Henry was weakened, he somehow called upon his element from within, the Element of Magic".

All the eyes were on Henry who blushed furiously. Takato laughed and gave his friend. They all laughed at the sudden change of Henry's tone colour.

"Well, that's enough. Since Henry discovered his element, the element took over him since he was still weak and doesn't know how it works. The Element of Magic took over him, possessing him and made him stronger in order to save the ones he loved. That's what happened back then........." Azulongmon explained. The tamers nodded.

Azulongmon nodded again at Henry, who knew that was the signal he dreamt about before they were attacked. Henry turned and faced the other tamers with a smile on his face.

"Guys, I'm sorry but I have to leave you", Henry said. The tamers were now confused. They looked at Henry in search of an explanation.

"Even though he now possesses the Element of Magic, he has not mastered it yet. Look at how close Tibet was in killing Ryo, and he's a mere henchman", Azulongmon added.

"I need to increase my powers and deepen my knowledge in my element before I can finally join you for the battle of a lifetime", Henry said. Ryo nodded. Suzy cried as she hugged Henry.

"Onii-san! I don't want you to go........." Suzy cried. Henry wiped her tears away and she looked up into Henry's eyes. They understood each other perfectly and knew that they had to go their separate ways. Henry let go of Suzy who returned to the rest of the group.

"Where are you planning to go next?" Henry asked. Rika and Takato shrugged. Ryo took out his D-Arc.

"Towards the south", Ryo answered. Henry winked at Ryo who didn't like what he think he's friend is going to do.

"Azulongmon, give me a boost. Ryo, I'll join you when I'm ready. Till then, take good care of Suzy or I'll personally kick your ass", Henry said as he started to glow green after Azulongmon had transferred some powers to him.

Henry read out some incantation as he closes his eyes. His green aura started to grow in size and turned darker and darker. He then pointed his hands towards the group. The aura surrounding Henry went into his body and came out of the hand he was pointing at the group. The light swallowed them. Henry dropped to the floor and looked up at Azulongmon.

"I hope they make it all right........." Henry said as he looked out to the south.

Bboyz: Ok, that's all from me for this chapter. I think that was the longest so far......... I thought it would have been shorter but hey, it's still a chapter.

Jenrya: What did Henry worry about? Who's the warrior that's guarding the Gemstone of the South? What will happen next (that's a better question.........)?

Bboyz: That, you have to find out in the next chapter of HP, Harry Potter. I think I said something wrong, re-phrase. Find out in the next chapter of HP, Hidden Past!
