I'm totally making up for lost time! I don't own Digimon.

20 minutes had past & the kids were getting worried; Eden was pacing, Caitlyn was close to crying again, Celina was chewing on her hair & Nicky kept sighing loudly.

Only the 2 Gekomon seemed fine, but alert. They took turns watching the opening of the cave.

Finally, Eden couldn't take it anymore. She stopped & shouted, "That's it! I gotta get out of here!" she begins to run towards the opening, but someone grabs her shirt & pulls her back. "Ugh!" she groaned as she fell to the ground.

"What good would it do for you to run out there?" Nicky asked, standing over her.

Eden glared at him, but pulled herself into a sitting position. "I don't know, but I want to do something!" She looked downward. "And I want to make sure Aquilamon is fine…"

Nicky sighed & sat down next to her. "I know. I'm worried about ExVeemon."

"I'm sure they'll be fine." Celina tried to comfort, but her thoughts kept straying towards Stingmon.

Caitlyn didn't say anything, but she just prayed that Ankylomon was fine.

Suddenly, they saw a figure running up to them. The 2 Gekomon were ready to attack until they saw it was their comrade.

"Is the battle over?" Gekomon 3 asked.

Gekomon 2 nodded, but he looked sad. "Yes, but the others were pretty beat up."

Eden gasped & jumped up. "Are they…?" she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Gekomon 2 shook his head. "No, just beat up."

A group sigh of relief went through the cave. "Thank God…" Celina murmured, standing up.

Caitlyn nodded. "Can we see them?" she asked.

Gekomon 2 nodded. "Follow me." He walked out of the cave, followed by the kids, followed by the 2 Gekomon.

After walking for what seemed forever, they finally saw the Leader standing over four bodies.

The kids couldn't control themselves, they ran to their own respective Digimon.

Eden picked up Hawkmon & cried into her feathers. "You have to be OK…" she cried. She was crying to hard, she didn't hear Hawkmon's groan. She didn't look up until Hawkmon placed a weak wing on her head & groaned out, "Eden, I'm fine…"

Eden smiled & began wiping her tears away. "Thank God…" Eden hugged Hawkmon, but the Digimon moaned in pain so Eden let go. "I'm so sorry…" Eden started, but Hawkmon raised a wing.

"I'm fine. Just tired." Hawkmon settled on Eden's lap.

Eden nodded, smiling. "Go ahead & sleep. You deserve it." She watched as the Digimon fell asleep on her lap. Looking up, she looked around to see the others in the same positions, except Caitlyn was sleeping as well with Armadillomon.

Eden yawned, looking down at her Digimon. 'I'm glad your fine.' she thought.

Nicky broke the silence. "So, what happened to Airdramon?"

Gekomon 2 shook his head. "I'm not sure. He's always helpful, but for some reason he just turned bad."

The Leader cleared his throat & everyone looked at him. "I think I know why…" he started.

The others let him pause & waited for him to go on. He turned to them, eyes closed. "This can be the Digimon Queen. She can control all the Digimon she wants."

"How?" Nicky finally asked the question on everyone's mind.

The Leader, once again, sighed. "I'm not sure." He shook his head & turned his back to them. "Let's move on." He began to walk again.

The kids exchanged looks, but got up, carrying their Digimon & followed him, followed by the three Gekomon.

Okay, so not that much action, but oh well. I'll add more next time. Please RR
