"O-kay, so Miyuka was right. There was a storm coming…in fact, you guys ought to know it's caught up with us."
Takuya and Kouji wrung out their over shirts and headwear. Miyuka and Koichi smiled at each other as Tommy, JP and Zoey cracked up laughing. Takuya looked at his twin sister with a scowl and pulled off his shirt as he walked over to her. He wrung the rainwater out of his shirt on to Miyuka's head.
"AH! Takuya!" Miyuka snapped, her wet bangs falling in her eyes. "I'm gonna get you for that!"
"Hey, I admitted you were right, didn't I?" Takuya asked a little crossly. "You're the one who didn't tell us when the storm would start or how bad it would be. So don't yell at me."
"Takuya, Miyu-chan's never been able to tell the intensity of a storm unless she's Biomerged." Koichi laughed. "As for when it strikes, she's usually the one caught out in it."
"Oh, 'Ichi-kun! Don't tell him that!" Miyuka giggled nudging Koichi playfully. The pair cracked up as Takuya and Kouji got soaked yet again.
"Beware the wet fur smell!" Koichi wheezed as his brother slightly scowled at him.
"Don't get put out, Ta-kun!" Miyuka shrieked with laughter as the best friends leaned against each other, back to back. Kouji and Takuya walked over to their twins and wrung their clothes out on to the still cackling duo.
"Man, these two find this hilarious…" Kouji mumbled to the fire warrior.
Miyuka gasped for air. "They look like drowned Chuumon!"
"And they smell just as bad!" Koichi panted between laughs. Takuya lost his temper and tackled his sister. The pair wrestled out into the storm, getting both of them soaked and a little muddy. When Miyuka fell on her back with Takuya on top of her, clutching the front of her outfit, her elbow hit something hard.
"Huh? What's that?" Takuya asked his sister.
"How am I supposed to know?" Miyuka asked back. "You've got me by the dress front."
Takuya reached for whatever was by his sister's elbow but whatever it was-it didn't like Takuya. A light and a weird noise filled the air and sent Takuya flying off of Miyuka. She rolled over and sat on her knees as she picked it up out of the mud. The rainwater washed the mud off and exposed a light blue and aqua techno toy of some kind.
"Hey, Ta-kun?" Miyuka called over to her brother who was by the campfire, where he landed. "What is this? It kinda looks like Ryo's D-Arc…"
"TAKUYA!"
Zoey's shriek made everyone look at the goggled boy. Takuya looked down at his hand and finally saw his hand in the fire, on top of something. A massive gust of air slammed something into Zoey's chest. A bolt of lightning barely missed JP-who didn't even flinch-as he stood by the "tent's" opening, putting something by his foot. Tommy came out in the rain to go to Miyuka when it started to hail and something hard hit his head. Then suddenly the moon shown through the rain, casting its light on Kouji and throwing his shadow over Koichi. Something clacked at Kouji's feet while something landed in Koichi's lap.
"What's going on, Ta-kun?" Miyuka asked her brother as the moonlight disappeared. "What did you guys get?"
The 7 kids gathered in a ring around the fire and held out what they each got. 7 multicolored Digivices stared blankly at the top of the tree's underbelly.
"We got our D-Tectors back!" Zoey smiled with excitement.
"Yeah, but I got one now." Miyuka pointed out looking at her D-Tector. "Didn't you guys say that your cell phones had turned into these things when you arrived? Can any of you find your cells?"
"You haven't even searched your pockets for yours." JP told her as everyone else checked their person.
"Mine's usually on my wrist." Miyuka explained. "My loop disappeared from my wrist when we landed on the beach. Or before, rather…"
Koichi leaned over and whispered something in Miyuka's ear. She listened to him until he pulled away. She looked at him and nodded with a smile. Their twin brothers looked at each other not having a clue on what just happened as the duo left their camp and walked off, side by side.
"What was that about?" Takuya asked. Kouji shrugged.
"They're always doing that." The Wolf Warrior told him laying back on the ground. "Whenever she comes over, Koichi says something to her in her ear and then they go running off somewhere."
"Where do they go?" Takuya asked as he looked at his friend who rolled over on his side.
"How should I know?" Kouji shot back moodily. "It's not like I follow them around. They've been through more than any of us will ever know. They probably go off to talk about their Tamer days in private." Takuya was shifting impatiently. "Don't go after them, Takuya. Leave them be. You go after them, I find my Spirits and I'll kick your flame wielding butt back to the Real World."
