Chapter 13

They only really stopped to eat and sleep. They have been in this dimensional pocket for five days for it was now Sunday. They were still on tenth level, looking through books and other items. They found new Digivolutions lines that had existed and might one day exist again. They really wanted to read as much as they could, before they left. For they didn't know when they would get a second chance to look through this stuff.

He was looking through some scrolls about old stories about this Dark Ocean place. He did remember about what Takato had said about the place. It would seem that is attaches itself to different realities to survive. It would always try to trap a person or Digimon that welds the powers of Light. The Dark Ocean would feed off that beings Light until it becomes empty. Letting that being hollow and broken. Luckily, some Digimon put a spell on the Dark Ocean, the spell is still active. It was a spell of unluckiness, meaning that it would be unlucky in holding onto that being. That was good to know, though the parts that some realities had used the Dark Ocean as a prison. This was only used in extreme measures, like how the Digidestine that Takato knows, about how they trapped Daemon in the Dark Ocean.

He was also hoping to get information about the Dark Spore, but couldn't find anything. He sighs and turns to leave the room, he finds his brother standing by the door. "It's getting to be that time, Kouichi. It's almost 10:00 am. Ready to go?" His brother asks him. He takes one last look around and nods. Kouji turns and leads the way to where Takato and LoreApemon were waiting. They had their torches in their hands; he was holding his with his right, while Kouji was holding his with his left.

Soon they see Takato and LoreApemon. "Ready to go?" Takato asks. "Ready and thank you LoreApemon for your hospitality." Kouji says, LoreApemon nods her head, "I enjoyed have you here. I hope that you'll visit again." Then LoreApemon heads to the other stairway that leads down, they followed Takato to the one that leads up. They had eaten at 6:00 am; giving them about four hours for one last look around.

After a few hours they make it to the landing, they sit down to have lunch. "There's not a lot left, so eat up. Then we could be some more supplies at the town. Hopefully, we'll be back here by Tuesday." Takato says. "As long as there are no missions to do." Kouji says. "I agree, I wonder if Zoe and the others decide to show up?" He says. "True, I wonder if I could Digivolve?" The twins look at Takato to find him having a dreamy look on his face. "We'll never know until you do, so all we have to do is go out the way we came, right?" He asks Takato. Takato snaps out of his thoughts and look thoughtful. "I don't really know, you see I asked LoreApemon about it. You see, that door," Takato points to the door at the end of the hallway, "Can lead to any of the other realities that the Hazard lost interest in and connect to this place. So, I guess we all better think about your guys Digital World or we might in up in some other Digital reality. I don't think it'll lead to Ranma's or to the Dire's reality though. For Ranma's world do not interact with any Digital World and the Dire's reality is brand new. So, I hope the two of you have a really good idea on getting back, for I haven't really explored that reality other then some of this area around Avalon's Gate." Takato finishes saying and begins to eat more of his food.

'Great, pressure. Just what we need, but he's right. We do know our Digital reality better then he does. But I wonder about the other Digidestine world, I mean. Maybe there's information about the Dark Spore. But I guess I'll never really know. I might never get to visit that reality.' He thought as he ate his lunch.

He tried not to groan at the thought of not making it back to the right reality. He feels responsible for Kouji and Kouichi, if it wasn't for him, they would never be in this predicament with the way home. He really did enjoy talking with LoreApemon, for she had a lot of time to read and watch everything that was in this dimension. He did want to know if that door that they had enter would take them to other realities and found out that it would. He now was in doubt and wishing he had never asked that question for as long as he believes that it would lead back to File Connect, everything would have been fine. Now he had to hope and believe that Kouji and Kouichi would think really hard about the right Digital World. He did kind of trust Kouichi a bit more then Kouji. Mostly because he knew Kouichi better then Kouji. So, he hopes that Kouichi's focus on going to the right place. He really, really hopes so.

After taking the garbage and the two torches from Kouji and Kouichi, he gets up and heads for the door. He could hear the twins behind him; he takes a deep breath and opens the door. Then walks through the door. He holds a hand over his eyes, for it was really bright. He continues to walk forward, to let Kouji and Kouichi have room to come out. He's eyes adjust to the light and he takes a look around. He couldn't put his finger on it, but this place look familiar. He looks over at the door and notices that it looked off color. That makes him feel even more uneasy. He listens for any voices from the town, he didn't hear anything. He looks over at Kouji and Kouichi and just sighs. "I don't think we're in right reality." "How do you know?" Kouji asks, as he looks around. "I don't hear any normal sound of an active town. File Connect's a big town and has a good has a good trade going on. I don't hear anything that sounds that tell me that we're in a town. I think we're in a forest, though."

He sniffs the air; all he could smell was flowers and trees. He stretches his wings to their fullest. "So, now what? I could just go have a look around. Or we could go together? Which one will it be?" He asks the two brothers. "I think it'll be better if we go together. I mean if there's any trouble, we can then face it together." Kouichi says. Kouji nods his head in agreement.

He then goes through his pouch, looking for some rope. Finally he finds some and takes it out. Kouji and Kouichi each take one and then look for a place to tie their rope to something. He just watches as they climb down. He waits for them to finish their climb then he unties the ropes and rolls them up. Then puts them back into his dimension pouch. He then leaps off the plat form.

He lands easily; they turn to look at the buildings. They find that the build already has disappeared. He takes a look around the forest. He then sniffs and head to his right. Kouji and Kouichi follow him.

They found themselves by a river. They haven't encountered any Digimon yet, but the found traces of them. He sighs and asks, "Could we stop and maybe fill up the bottles?" Takato nods. Both Kouji and him take out their bottles that Takato gave them on Wednesday. They fill them up and they kept an eye on Takato. He notices that Takato was seemed confused about something.

After they finish filling up the bottles, he looks over at his brother. He finally gives into the feeling of curiosity and asks, "What's wrong?" Takato doesn't answer for a few minutes, then, "I feel like I should know where we are. I just can't figure it out how though. I really should know where we are." Takato trails off.

Then they hear some body scream and they take off at a run. They soon find a girl and a boy about Tommy's age in trouble. There was a group of Bakamon. Takato jumps into action, "Black Fire!" He's attack shots over the nineteen Bakamon, scaring them. A Digimon with a white helmet stands by Takato and another Digimon covered with gold armor stands in front of the other two people.

Kouji and he move over to them, "You guys alright?" He asks. The girl turns and nods, "Thanks, I've never seen a Digimon like your guys partner. I'm Yolei and this is Cody." He knows that he should know those names but their names escape him for the moment. "My name is Kouichi and this is my twin brother, Kouji. That's Takato."

Yolei raises an eyebrow, but they turn back to what Takato and the other Digimon were doing. They find a stand off between Takato and the two Digimon that were standing between them and the Bakamon. One of the Bakamon turns tail and runs, the others look at each other, and then they follow that one's example. Soon only Yolei, Cody, the two Digimon that stood with Takato, then his brother and himself.

Kouji and him watch in amazement when the two Digimon glow and become smaller. They have never seen this before, but they watch as Yolei and Cody run over to the Digimon.

"Hawkmon!" Yolei says with worry. "Are you all right?" She asks Hawkmon. "I'm alright, Yolei. Really! It could have been rough if it hadn't been for him." Hawkmon waves towards Takato.

(V)(V)(V)

He just stares at just whom he had helped rescued. 'I can't believe I just meet Cody and Yolei. I've just met the last two members of the second group of Digidestine. So that's why this reality looked so familiar, this is just like the TV show. I wonder just what Tai looks like in real life?'

He snaps out of it when Hawkmon waves towards him. "So, is he the two of you guys partner? Or is one of your partners still off some where?" Yolei asks Kouji and Kouichi. "I'm not their partner, I'm just their friend. Trust me, they don't need partners." He says. "Then how did you get here?" Cody asks. "We came through a door that lead us here. This isn't our native reality." He answers. Kouji and Kouichi nods in agreement with what he said. "So then, just where do you come from?" Yolei asks. Kouji answers that, "Hard to say, we're from a Digital reality that is home to the Legendary Warriors. I don't think you have ever hear of them?" Cody and Yolei look at each other then back at Kouji and Kouichi. "No, so then, who are you?" She points to him. "My name's Takato. I meet Kari and the others. I don't know if you've heard from them?" He asks. They just stare at him then Yolei says, "Aren't you suppose to be human? That's what we heard from Izzy and the others last Friday. Are where's you partner Guilmon?"

He blinks at the information. He says, "Guilmon and I are fused together for the time being. So, I don't suppose you know a place where we could spend the night?" Yolei and Cody think for a minute and then Yolie says, "I guess we better ask the others. Tai and the others would like to meet the three of you. So, I'm guessing you haven't found Davis yet?" "Sorry, I haven't. I'm decided to help Kouji and Kouichi out. Some dimensional invaders are trying to conquer their Digital World." He says.

Yolei nods and then she begins to lead them to down a path. He sends Kouji and Kouichi an apologetic look to them. They give him small nods, and then they follows Cody with his partner and Yolei with her partner down the path.
