Golly, has it really been this long? Sorry, so sorry! I have all good reasons!

Reasons: writers block, grandparents visited, cousins visited, out-of-state trip, hospitalized, band from the computer, cousins, then all the catch-up work.

So will you forgive me? Please?

All right, so the story. If you've forgotten what's been going on here's a little summery:

Chapter 1 - Tai and Matt were kidnapped.

Chapter 2 - The rest of Season 1 and Season 2 joined them. Lucemon explained a few things to Kari.

Chapter 3 - Takuya, JP, Zoe, and Tommy were kidnapped. Kouji was caught but Kouichi rescued him. Sora managed to contact the kids of Season 4.

Chapter 4 - (my favorite chapter!) Owikawa, Arukenimon, and Mummymon catch Kouji and Kouichi but TK looses his temper and Kouji and Kouichi escape and free the others. Mummymon attacks the kids. Only Kouji, Kouichi, Kari, Ken, Joe, Tai, and Matt avoid the attack. Tai and Matt hold off Owikawa and his cronies while the others escape. Lucemon chases after them and attacks Kouji and Kari but Kouichi pushes them out of the way. Ken finds a box with the kids digivices in it. Kari and Lucemon have another talk. Kouji and Joe team up to rescue Kari from Lucemon's clutches. They enter the Tamer world.

Chapter 5 - The escapees meet Takato and Henry who take them to Rika's house. They call a meet with all the Tamers.

Chapter 6 - The Tamers and escapees split into three groups to search for Henry's sister who is missing. Kari, Rika, and Kouji are attacked by Arukenimon. Taomon fights Arukenimon. Arukenimon attacks Rika directly but Kari pushes her out of the way. Kouji rescues her. Kari has a vision of the digimon being held in the Dark Ocean.

Chapter 7 - Takato, Kenta, Joe, Kazu, and Impmon are kidnapped. Their digimon are transported to the Dark Ocean. Henry, Ken, and Ryo find Susie with Owikawa. Justimon fights Owikawa while Henry gets Susie out of harms way. Justimon takes too many hits and de-digivolves to Ryo and Cyberdramon. Cyberdramon takes Ryo, Susie, and Lopmon to Rika's house. Ken saves Henry's life but ends up breaking his leg in the process. Davis finds a way out.

Chapter 8 - Takuya knocks down the wall of their cell. Zoe is separated from the group. Takuya, Tommy, and JP meet up with TK, Davis, Yolei, and Cody. There's a cave-in. Everyone makes it out except Yolei and Takuya.

Chapter 9 - Kouichi wakes up finally. Jeri and Kari talk. Jeri asks Leomon about the Dark Ocean. Lucemon orders Owikawa, Arukenimon, and Mummymon to bring Ken Ichijouji to him. The small group of kids (Season 2 and Season 4) find the portal and Davis stays behind to give the group time to escape while he holds off Arukenimon and Mummymon. Zoe finds herself in the Dark Ocean. A MetalSeadramon attacks her.

Couples in this story so far (because a few have been asking) are: Kouji/Kari, Kouichi/Rika, Takuya/Yolei, Davis/Zoe. The main couple is: Kouji/Kari. If you've noticed I've focused on them mostly.

Reviewers:

GemmaniGirl-Sorry for not updating soon but I've been kinda busy. (Keep drinking the coffee, please)

Dragons star-please, please, please, please, please don't hurt me! *cowers in corner* (And no, I didn't hurt/kill Zoë)

RoseniteHuntress-Kouichi, eh? Yes, Kouichi's awake and yes, hints of Kouichi/Rika. I never thought about Kouichi/Kari though . . . not a bad idea . . .

Salpheon-Gad ya liked it Salph! There's nothing about Ken in this chappie, really. But the next one should have some info.

Tera Earth-Yeah, the Frontier kids get back their D-tectors. Kouji and Kouichi already have theirs and Takuya, JP, and Tommy will get them back too. Zoë, sadly, will have to wait. Though I've got something special planned for her. *grins*

Digi fan-Glad you like it. Here's the next one and I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.

Dragi-lol, thanks for the inspiring ramble, but hey! You actually got me writing again! Arigato, Dragi! Here's Chapter 10, hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own ANYTHING in digimon . . . minus the plot which originated from a dream. So, yeah.

Chapter 10
Reunion

A high-pitched roar filled the air. Zoë looked over her shoulder and saw a MetalSeadramon emerge from the ocean gazing at her with an evil glint in its eye. Zoë felt something wrap around her right foot and jerk her underwater. She tried to scream but her lungs only filled up with the salty liquid that had enveloped her.

Suddenly she was released and began to float to the surface. Something grabbed her again but instead of pulling her down into the water depths it surfaced and began to drag her to shore. That was the last thing she knew before darkness enclosed around her.

***

"Will she be alright?"

"I hope so, for our sake and hers."

Zoë moaned, those voices were giving her a headache.

"Look, she's waking up!"

"Step back everyone, at least let her breathe."

Zoë opened her eyes and was surprised to see a crowd of digimon gathered around her. She sat up and looked at her surroundings. "Where-Where am I?"

"Well you're with us in big ocean thingy, uh . . . what was it called?" a machine-type digimon.

"The Dark Ocean," answered a pink bird Zoë recognized as Biyomon. Biyomon sighed.

"I miss Takato-mon," a big red dinosaur whined.

"You've said that 536 times already," an orange dinosaur said.

"No, I've only said that 283 times. I said that I'm hungry 536 times."

Zoë had to keep from laughing out loud at digimons' antics. Zoë analyzed the other digimon. She knew a few of them like Biyomon, Patamon, and Palmon, but most of them she'd never seen before.

"If you don't mind my asking, who are all of you?" inquired Zoë.

Patamon immediately started talking, "Well I'm Patamon, the big red dinosaur here is Guilmon, the hunk of metal is Guardromon, the pink bird over there is Biyomon, in the back is Gatomon and Wormmon, the duck is Hawkmon-"

"I AM NOT A DUCK!"

"-the orange dinosaur is Agumon, the blue one is Veemon, the flower is Palmon, then there's Tentomon and Armadillomon, that's Gomamon and Gabumon, and the pink . . . thing is MarineAngemon."

Gomamon looked at Zoë with pleading eyes. "Can you help us get out of here, please? We've been stuck here ever since Owikawa trapped us down here."

"I wish could," Zoë said softly, "but I'm not sure how I even got here."

They grew silent each thinking the same thoughts: How were they going to get out of there?

"Joe, c'mon man! This isn't funny! Wake up!" Tai yelled at his friend. Mimi was crying harder than ever before.

Sora was restraining Tai shaking the blue haired boy while Izzy examined him. The red head sighed.

Matt looked up at him. "Well? How is he?"

Izzy shook his head, "It'll take a miracle to save him now but I think he's gone into a coma."

"A COMA!!!!!" the echo was deafening.

Izzy winced, "That's what I said, right?"

Tai stared down at Joe, "No, not Joe." Sora hugged him, more for her own comfort than for his.

***

Davis glared at Arukenimon and Mummymon. What he was about to do was really, really stupid and he knew it. But he needed to give JP, Tommy, Cody, and TK a good head start. Jumping forward into a fast run, he ran headlong toward Arukenimon and Mummymon.

***

JP, Cody, Tommy, and TK turned back to the portal that was just floating in the air.

"C'mon," JP said. "Davis will catch up soon." They nodded and followed.

After awhile they started to hearing voices in the distance. "TAKATO!! JOE!! KAZU!! KENTA!! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

The group exchanged looks before Tommy yelled, "OVER HERE!!! OVER HERE!!!"

"THIS WAY!!"

A red head girl, a blue headed boy, a short brown haired girl, and a long black haired boy, the latter two which were recognized by Cody and TK, and JP and Tommy.

"Kari?!"

"Kouji?!"

"Cody?! TK?!"

"JP? Tommy?"

Kari suddenly threw her arms around TK. "You made it!"

TK grinned, "Of course we did, you didn't think we'd just stay there and let Owikawa and his cronies have their fun, do you?"

Kari smiled and took a step back to look into his face. Her smile faded and was replaced with a worried frown. "TK, what happened to you?"

TK shrugged, "It's nothing, really. Don't worry about it Kari. I'm fine."

Cody rolled his eyes but didn't say anything on the subject.

Kouji watched Kari and TK embrace and couldn't help but feel the pang of jealousy arise from within him. Tearing his gaze from the twosome he spotted Takuya lying upon JP's back.

"Takuya?" When the brunette boy didn't even stir Kouji turned to JP. "What happened JP? And where's Zoe?" he asked noticing the first time the blonde girl missing amongst his companions.

JP sighed, "I'll tell you later. Is there anywhere safe we can rest and tend to TK, Yolei, and Takuya? And I'm sure Davis will be joining us soon."

"I nearly forgot," Kari said looking around, "Where is Davis?"

Tommy spoke, "He's distracting Arukenimon and Mummymon so we can get away."

Kari paled. "No . . ."

"We better get going," Rika said speaking for the first time. "If Arukenimon and Mummymon make it past this Davis kid they'll probably come for you. I'm Rika, by the way, and this is Henry. Everyone else is at my house. You're welcome to come as well."

TK smiled, "Thanks Rika, I'm TK, this is Tommy, Cody, and JP. On JP's back is Takuya and the girl Tommy and Cody are supporting is Yolei."

Rika nodded and motioned for them to follow her. Henry was walking next the red head. He smirked, "Is it just me or were you being nice for a second there?"

Rika shot him a glare. "Shut it Henry."

Henry raised his hands in mock surrender.

*****

Ohh, I'm so mean! I put Joe in a coma, something bad is going to happen to Ken, and will Davis make it out? Hmm . . . That's a good question. Sorry about not updating soon. I'll try to do way better. (which of course I will, I'm not sure how I could do worse) If I miss an update it's probably because of geometry. If I fail this class, let's just say I'll try to kill myself before my parents get their hands on me. Anyway, see ya'll next time!

Chapter 11 Summery: We find out what is going to happen to Ken. A little perhaps about Davis. And Zoe starts learning a new evolution.

Review please!
