Author's Note: Okay, this episode is going to attract alot of Kouji-haters, Kouji-lovers, Jerry Springer fans, and Mizu-haters ( I don't think there's a Mizu-lover here). This is one of my favorite episodes, and enjoy this chapter while you can!


Kouji and Mizu Trapped! Ranamon Springs Back!

Izumi and Tomoki came running to the boys, Takuya, Kouichi, Junpei, and Yoshie.

"Takuya!" Tomoki yelled. "We gotta tell you something?"

"What is it?" Takuya questioned to Tomoki.

"The shadows have arrived at the hospital!"

"Great." Kouichi pounders, still something bugged him. "Hey, where's Kouji and Mizu?"

"I thought they were outside with you," Izumi said.

Junpei looked devious, "Eh, no..."

"Oh no, then..."

"Kouji...Mizu..." Kouichi whispered beyond the wind.


As they wondered to the skies, Kouji and Mizu were trapped underneath the hospital, all alone in the dark, secret cavern. Kouji was laying on Mizu while Mizu starts to blush madly.

"I'm telling you for the last time. I know I'm beautiful, but please get off of me!"

Kouji got off Mizu and grunts. This was the worst position that Kouji has ever been in.

"Boys. They always keep falling for a girl with a perfect figure."

"Would you just shut up?" Kouji said. "You know, this is all your fault!"

"My fault? Tell me one good reason that this is my fault that the hospital collapsed."

"There is a reason. You already know it yourself."

"Oh so we are the new prima donnas around here?"

Kouji sighed. "Forget it. It's useless talking to you, overall you're usless."

"What do you mean?" Mizu asked.

"Do I have to say it fifty times to get you to listen? You are nothing, invisible , worthless, no-good, high self-esteemed, and to put it on top you're selfishly a piece of crap! Why did you even come to this world?"

"To answer the cellphone's calling," she shuddered.

"You know, when I first went to the digital world, I answered the same thing, and now I know what I must do. And believe me I was like you once, you don't know anything."

"Just because I don't have a spirit thingy, doesn't mean I have to do everything you say!"

"That's what you think, Mizu...You think someone is going to take care you and expect things to happen on your point of view. Mizu, nothing evolves around you. That is just stupid! I guess you can turn tail because you're worthless to us anyway."

Mizu got upset and slapped Kouji right in the face. "I have been abused and insulted in my life, but how dare you speak such words, especially to a lady. Did your mother teach you any manners?"

"Mother?"

Flashback

Kouji looked at his real mother, which was Kouichi's mother too. He soon sees her smiles, then her image fades away. This concluded that Kouji's and Kouichi's mom was no longer with them...

Out of Flashback

"Just leave me alone, okay!" Kouji shouted. He tries to buried his tears underneath his eyes.

"Was it something I said?" Mizu asked, folding her arms.

"Just go away. You're being a pest!"

"Fine, I'll go my way and you go your way!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

Mizu stumped off. Kouji sat down, took off his bandanna, and looked at the puddle of clear water. He sees his reflection. There, he sees himself turned into his mother in his reflection.

"Kouji..."

Flashback

Back when Kouji and Kouichi didn't knew each other, Kouji was with his dad at their new home. He looked at his stepmother, and he thinks of her nothing but a worthless woman.

"Why are we here, dad?"

"Kouji, there are times that the right path is sometimes not your path."

"But she's not my mom. She's is just a woman that lives with us..."

"Kouji...all she needs in the whole world is somebody to care for. She is more than a woman to you, she is family..."

Out of Flashback

"...she just want somebody to care for..." Kouji's thoughts keeps running through his head. "...she is more than a woman...she is family..."

Kouji looked at Mizu, and visioned her as his mother, then his vision came back to reality. Mizu was sobbing alone, burying her head. Kouji puts on his bandanna and comes up to her; tries to comfort her.

"Why is everybody so mean to me?" Mizu said, crying. Kouji begins to notice.

"Nobody's being mean to you...They just don't see you as a person that they can depend on," Kouji responded.

"So, if I depend on you, will you like me?"

"It depends," Kouji said with a grin on his face. "Come on, lets go." Mizu looks at his face, grinning. Mizu starts to dry her tears and smiled with him.


Outside the hospital, the chosen children have seen that Kouji and Mizu had disburse to the ground, just like the hospital did.

"Oh no..." Izumi said.

"Does that mean..." Takuya whimpered.

"Kouji and Mizu..." Kouichi replied.

Yoshie's tummy broke the silence and it growled loudly. Everyone falls down anime style... again.

"Do you have to be THAT hungry?" Takuya asked.

"Should I be..."

"Man, this day gets stranger and stranger by the moment!" Takuya thought. 'Wherever they are, I know Mizu is really hitting Kouji in the shins right now.'


Back in the depths of the cavern. Kouji and Mizu were inside a cave, getting warm by the fire that they had made. Sure, the two were exhausted, and they're cover in debris and dirt, but they stick together as a team, and they got through the all the fuss and anger as well. Kouji was poking the fire as Mizu was sleeping like a baby. Kouji have noticed that Mizu snores silently in her sleep, and she looked nice without the blue, bennie cap on. Then, Mizu starts to shivered by the lustering cold overcoming the flame they had made together. Kouji came up to Mizu and took off his blue jacket. He covered Mizu with it, and Mizu started not to shiver. Kouji looked back at the fire and saw it was almost going out. So he left Mizu behind to find more wood in the caverns.

As Kouji ventured out, he saw dark figures rising up from the ground. The dark figures' shape turned out to be Rockmon again. This time, the Rockmon were coming for revenge and their eyes are glowing mean red.

"Oh no," Kouji uttered. "It's the Rockmon from above."

The Rockmon attacked Kouji with his mightly attack, 'Sulfur Plume'. The attack sent Kouji flying. Kouji got out of the way and had screamed for help.

"HELP!"


Everyone outside can hear the voice.

"Hey, you guys did you hear that?" Tomoki asked them.

Takuya starts to look at Yoshie, and the others look at him second.

"I swear, it's not my stomach this time!" Yoshie denounced.

"It sounds like Kouji's alive and he's in trouble!" Kouichi responded.

"Kouji, we're coming for you!" Takuya yelled at the ground.

Junpei looked at Takuya with a stupid grin on his face. "Uh, Mr. Einstein, do you have a shovel in hand?"

"No. But we have a perfect person to dig up for us."

Takuya again looks at Yoshie, and the others look at him second.

"Why is everybody looking at me?" Yoshie yelled. It was getting on his last nerves.

"Start cha spirit evolvin' and start diggin'."

Yoshie takes out his d-scanner, and his stomach is really starting to growl.


"HELP! ANYBODY!" Kouji screamed again.

"Kouji..." Mizu woke up, startled by that familiar voice. She got her beanie cap and went to the caverns.

"SULFUR PLUME!" Rockmon attacked Kouji with his powerful, destructive gust.

"NO!" Kouji yelled, being blown by it. He then hits the ground, and starts to weaken out.

Mizu looked at Kouji as she stood beside him. "Oh my gosh, Kouji!"

"Oh, Mizu!" Kouji said and looked up.

Rockmon looks at Mizu and starts to growl loudly. Mizu begins to notice and looks at them.

"I have to do something..." Mizu said, getting the biggest rock that she can find. "Go to Hell, you stupid Rockbrain!"

Mizu threw the heavy rock at Rockmon. Still no scratch.

Mizu took steps back and picks out another rock. "Come more closer, and I will throw it!"

"Mizu, just run!" Kouji yelled at her.

Mizu looked at him with promising eyes. "No, everybody keeps telling me that! But I'm still staying! No matter what the cost, I won't let someone who cared for me, like a friend, be destroyed."

"Mizu..."

Mizu throws a rock at Rockmon and they are still invincible. It was Rockmon's turn. They used their 'Sulfur Plume" on Mizu and sunks her down at the bottom of the water.

"That's it, you're done for, Rockmon!" Kouji snapped. He then pulled out his own d-scanner. "SPIRIT EVOLUTION...WOLFMON!"

He spirit evolves into Wolfmon, the warrior of light!

"LICHT SIEGER!" He pulls out his two light sabers and aimed them at the Rockmon.

Mizu was drowning in the water. She was almost sunking to the bottom.

'Que paso, chica?' She thought to herself. 'You got to live and save Kouji from those evil beings.'

She looks down at the bottom and saw a blue, glowing rock. It looked like a beautiful fish head. It was a spirit.

"So beautiful. I can feel its strength!" Mizu said, smiling.

Mizu took out her light blue and red d-scan which was glowing brightly, and it sent her spirit inside.

"It's show time!" Mizu yelled, "SPIRIT EVOLUTION...RANAMON!"

Unbelievable, Mizu turned into Ranamon... Wolfmon was fighting his hardest aganist the Rockmon, but still he could not win against them. As he destroys one or two, each one of the Rockmon take their place. Maybe it was hopeless for Wolfmon...

Wolfmon said to himself, feeling downy. "I'm so sorry, Mizu..."

Then, a glacier exploded in the water and hits four of the Rockmon. Three Rockmon are still standing. Wolfmon looked at the water and saw that the glacier in the waters has back down. Then he sees a shadow figure in the water and a second glacier exploded in the air! There, was a surprise...

"Ranamon..." Kouji said, still confused about her appearance.

Ranamon looked down at Wolfmon. She knew that it was Kouji's voice.

"Hey, Kouji," she said. "You miss me?"

"Mizu?" he said as he remembered her voice.

"Kouji, do you think I have the 'full figure'?"

Wolfmon sweatdropped, "Uh, let's not talk about this, okay..."

One of the Rockmon approached Wolfmon. Wolfmon took out his swords and started fronting Rockmon with it. As for Ranamon, the Rockmon came after her and tries to attack without getting in the water. Ranamon jumped off and stand on the other glacier that came out of the water at the right time.

"What's a matter?" she asked them. "Don't like to swim? Let me arranged that!" Ranamon used her attack on the Rockmon, "I'll drench you instead! JEALOUSY RAIN!" Ranamon's dark rain cloud rosed on the Rockmon. The Rockmon were getting soggy by its rain. Wolfmon took an opportunity to slashed his sabers at the Rockmon. They were defeated.

"Thanks, Ranamon," he looked up and said.

Ranamon smiled and put a thumb up at him. They heard something coming above the cavern. Something was at top, drilling a hole. The two looked up and saw Grottomon dropping down.

"Grottomon, too?" Wolfmon wondered and got a major headache by this, "Okay, now I'm more confused."

"Kouji...Mizu...are you guys down there?" said a voice up there, figured as a boy with a green jacket (like the same as Kouji's).

"Are you guys all right?" said a second voice up there, figured as a boy in red and yellow.

"We're here and okay, just get us out of here," Wolfmon shouted.


Ranamon and Wolfmon were back with the rest of the kids. Grottomon, Ranamon, and Wolfmon de-evolved into their former selves, and everybody was surprised that Ranamon was actually Mizu.

"Oookaayyy?" Junpei said astonishly. "This is confusing?"

"Look on the bright side," Tomoki said. "At least they are okay."

"Yeah, Wolfmon saves the day!" Takuya said in a victorious way.

"Actually it was Mizu, she saved me," Kouji said.

The boys looked at Mizu, who was confused on what Kouji said. A nice comment? Who would've thought it? And the boys looked back at Kouji, who was smiling at Mizu, which they were more confused than ever before.

"Unbelievable, Mizu actually did something for a living?" Takuya smirked.

Mizu huffed at Takuya, "Oh ciaete, Takuya! Kouji saved me too!"

Takuya looked at Kouji as he blushed at Mizu, while she gave Kouji his coat back.

"Is Kouji's blushing? Oh, this is worse than I thought!"

Takuya's satire was actually rubbing off on Kouji.

"Don't even think about it, Takuya!" Kouji replied.

"I think you guys should hook up," Takuya said.

"Did I told not to even think about it?"

"No..." Takuya blunted.

"Be quiet, Chico Gallina!" Mizu said.

"What did you call me?"

"She called you 'Chicken Boy' in Spanish," Kouji replied.

"Chicken Boy?"

"Hah-hah, Chicken Boy!" Junpei laughed.

"Oh shut up, Chocolate Boy!"

Here it goes again...Takuya and Mizu starts another fight...

"Kouji, I'm really glad. Thank you for caring for Mizu," Kouichi thanked him.

Kouji nodded, "No problem, that's what brothers are for. Besides, Mizu may be hotheaded, but she is good at heart."

Mizu and Takuya still argues. Izumi just looks at Takuya and Mizu as she feels like she has been replaced.


Sora: Hmm, that figures. Mizu is the Warrior of Water, Ranamon, and she STILL at it with Takuya. And what about Izumi? She seems sad, find out on the-
