Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
A/N: This is another long chapter from me. There are going to be a few chapters in here where they talk about what happened, but it will move on to a conversation between Sora and Kara, and then to a very interesting conversation between Ryoko and Kara. From there it will go to the big Matt tells Ryoko everything chapter(s), and Mimi reveals the baby names! Oh, and the partners of all the original Digidestined will remain in their rookie forms in the real world (Gatomon in her champion form) because those were the forms they usually had in the show when they were in the human world. That's about it. Oh, and I won't have an update for this story next week because I'm putting up a Kingdom Hearts one-shot. It's been bugging me so I had to write it, but then I will be back!
Following the Footsteps of Destiny
Chapter 119: Friends Come Together
Sora Kamiya
Odaiba, Japan, Earth
"Tai, will you please hurry up and walk a little faster? We're really late, in case you didn't notice, and if we don't get moving, Noriko and Matt are going to start wondering where we are. I bet all of the others have already arrived by now, and if that's the case then-"
"So what if they have? Come on, Sora, you know Kara will understand. She always does, and besides, I bet she's not even back from the Digital World yet. How can she be angry at us when more than likely she doesn't even know what's going on here in the human world at the moment? I'm sure Izzy's got everything under control. If anything, we should be worrying about what kind of a mood Yolei's going to be in when we do finally make it to Davis' and Noriko's house. I'm sure she's going to have a few things to say about us being the last ones to show up!"
Sora Kamiya glanced over her right shoulder just in time to see her husband roll his dark brown eyes, and reaching out, she grabbed his hand and began to pull him along behind her. The two of them only lived a few minutes away from the younger Digidestined leader's house, and because of that they had decided to walk (or in her case run) the short distance in order to reach the Motomiya residence without cluttering the driveway.
I wonder what Biyomon's doing right now. I hope she isn't getting herself into a lot of trouble, but knowing Daichi, she probably is. And what about my daughter? Wherever you are, Kara, I hope you're safe...
According to Izzy, the Western Hemisphere was a big place, and the thought of her daughter wandering endlessly through a foreign landscape made her sick with fear. She had never been to the Western Hemisphere herself, and as a result, she could not help feeling a little bit nervous about what it might contain. Unknown territory could be dangerous, especially since Dai and the others weren't exactly sure where Gennai and the crests were hidden. What if something bad has happened to them?
"Sora, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to make us late."
Sora turned slowly to look at her husband, and without a word, she gently kissed his lips and wrapped her arms around his waist. They held each other close for a moment, and after a minute or two of comfortable silence, she took his hand and gave his fingers a reassuring squeeze. "Tai, you don't have to apologize for anything. You just saved the life of a five year old boy only a couple of hours ago, and you gave his mother a shoulder to cry on when she needed someone to comfort her. How can I be mad at you for something like that? Your job as a firefighter has always made me a little uneasy because of the danger involved, but it's a times like this when I realize you couldn't have picked a better occupation. I'm so proud of you, and you know our kids think you have the most amazing job in the world. Taysuke loves listening to your stories about all the fires you've tackled, and Kara always gets that look of pride on her face whenever you've managed to save someone's life, whether it's an adult, a child, or even a cat. I guess that means you're right, after all. Our daughter will understand, but that doesn't give you an excuse to waste time making a snack when we're supposed to be supporting our daughter in her efforts to save the Digital World!"
"I was hungry! Putting out fires is tough work, you know! It requires a lot of energy, and I needed to eat something in order to get my strength back. Who knows what kinds of crazy theories Izzy's come up with by now? I can't handle all his scientific talk on an empty stomach, especially when I'm tired, like I am now!"
Sora smiled slightly and shook her head. Even though her husband had taken a bath only about twenty minutes ago, he still smelled a little bit like smoke from the house fire he had helped put out earlier that afternoon, and although it was hard to tell in the darkness surrounding them, she was pretty sure there was still some ash in his hair. "Come on, Tai, Noriko's probably left the door open for us. We should hurry before she gets upset."
The two of them ran down the street hand in hand like a couple of kids and came to a stop in front of the Motomiya residence. Sora pulled open the door, which Noriko had indeed left unlocked for them, and quickly motioned for Tai to follow her up the stairs. The first thing she heard was Yolei's angry voice floating down the corridor towards them, and smiling at her husband, she hurried into the small room Davis and Noriko used for an office. Yolei stood in front of Izzy with her hands on her hips, and there was an angry expression on the lavender-haired Digidestined's face. Izzy looked like he was ready to run out of the room at any moment, and Matt, who was leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face, was clearly trying hard not to laugh at the computer expert's expense. Sora glanced at her husband and raised her eyebrows, but Tai merely shrugged his shoulders and grinned at the scene playing out in front of them.
"Hey, Sora. I was wondering when you were going to show up. You're usually always on time for something as important as saving the Digital World. Let me guess, Tai's the reason you're late, right?"
Sora turned at the sound of Mina's voice and gave the younger female a warm smile. "You could say that. I hope we haven't missed anything important. "
"Well..."
"What's Yolei yelling about this time?" Tai asked curiously, gesturing in the lavender-haired Digidestined's direction.
Mina slowly stepped away from the wall where she had been standing next to the door and lightly ran her fingers through her long, dark hair. The corners of her mouth were turned up in a small smile, but despite the sparkle in her eyes, the look she sent Izzy was filled with sympathy. "I think I'll let my husband answer your question. You guys might want to sit down. A lot of things have happened over the past few hours and it's going to take a while to explain everything. I wouldn't worry about Kara, though, if I were you. As far as we know, she's perfectly safe, but I'm not so sure the same thing can be said for our digimon..."
What is that supposed to mean? Has something happened to Biyomon?
"Mom! Dad! What took you so long? I was beginning to think you guys weren't going to show up!" Taysuke cried, interrupting her thoughts.
Sora glanced at her son and nearly stumbled into the wall when Taysuke suddenly leaped to his feet and threw his arms around her waist. She gently ran her fingers through his hair, which was the same shade and colour as her own, and managed a regretful smile. "I'm sorry, Tay. We wanted to come earlier, but-"
"Where have you two been?" Yolei demanded, turning her back on Izzy and crossing her arms over her chest. Sora glanced over at her husband, but instead of answering, Tai just rolled his eyes and ruffled Taysuke's hair. Yolei glared at the former leader as if he were to blame for her lousy mood, which was probably at least partly true, even if he wasn't the one causing her grief at the moment, and tugged angrily on her long, lavender braid. "Well? I know it's your fault, Tai. Sora's never late unless you're the one holding her up!"
"Surprise, surprise, Yolei. For once I agree with you," Matt snorted.
Tai ignored his best friend and slipped his arm around Taysuke's shoulders. At first he didn't say anything, but after a brief moment of hesitation, he slowly lifted his head and gazed directly into Yolei's eyes. "There was a house fire not that far from Izzy's place, and a women was trapped inside, along with her five year old son. She was lying unconscious on the kitchen floor, and it took two of my fellow firefighters to get her out of there. The boy was upstairs. At first we thought there was only one person in the house, but I kept insisting we check upstairs to make sure no one ended up getting left behind, and it's a good thing I did. I found the boy hiding under his bed, which is probably what kept him from losing consciousness. The smoke was pretty thick by then, and we were having a hard time seeing exactly where we were going. At first I thought the kid might be too scared to move, but he never even shed a single tear. As soon as he realized I was there, he crawled right into my arms and asked me if I would take him to his mother."
"What did you say?" Taysuke asked, gazing at his father with a slightly awed expression on his face.
Tai grinned at his son's obvious enthusiasm and shrugged his shoulders. "I told him I would, and less than a minute later I was able to get him out of the house. His mother must have regained consciousness while I was still inside because she was awake when I got out of the house, and she spent forty-five minutes crying on my shoulder and telling me how grateful she was for my efforts to rescue her son. She also thanked the three firefighters who were with me at the time. Her husband was still at work when the blaze broke out, and not surprisingly he was a little upset when he did come home. We're still investigating the situation, but we think the fire must have started somewhere at the back of the house. The others let me leave a little early so I didn't have a chance to find out exactly what happened."
Sora nodded in agreement and smiled at Yolei. "That's why we're late."
"Dad, is the little boy okay?" Taysuke asked, tugging anxiously on his father's arm.
For some reason Tai made a point of avoiding Yolei's eyes and he gave his son's shoulder a reassuring squeeze. "He's fine. He seemed a little bit shy, but I could tell he had a lot of courage for someone so young. In fact, he...he reminded me a little bit of Nao."
Yolei's eyes filled with sudden tears, and her face immediately softened into a warm smile. Before Tai could say anything, she pulled him into a quick hug and motioned for the former leader to take a seat on the floor. Sora sat down next to her husband, and Taysuke quickly sat down on her other side. The three of them smiled at each other, and a moment later they were joined by Nao and Rina. Tai lifted Rina into his arms, and she gave him a big smile. "I bet it feels really good helping other people out. You're lucky, Uncle Tai."
"So are your brothers, Rina. When you think about it, they're doing the exact same thing. The Digital World is where it all started for me, and I have Agumon and the others to thank for that."
"You'll tell me the whole story, won't you?" Taysuke interrupted. "I want to hear more about the house fire."
"I want to hear more about the little boy you helped," Nao said shyly, his small hand coming to rest on Tai's arm. "Was he really like me?"
Tai set Rina down on the floor beside him and gently slipped his arm around Nao's thin shoulders. "Yes, he was. I'd love to tell you guys the whole story right now, but we have other things to-"
"I hope you were being careful," Matt snapped, gazing suspiciously at his best friend.
Sora lowered her eyes to the floor and smiled softly to herself. She knew Matt had never been too thrilled about the occupation Tai had chosen to pursue for a living, and she could relate. The two of them were always worrying about the former Digidestined leader's safety, but so far he had managed to escape anything more serious than a few minor burns. That didn't stop her from worrying, though, and the same was true in Matt's case, but then again, that was what wives and best friends were for.
Tai glanced at the golden-haired Digidestined, who had taken a seat next to Mimi in the chair standing directly opposite from the former leader, and lifted his chin. "I'm always careful, Matt. Our adventures in the Digital World taught me a lot, and I use the experience I gained from fighting Myotismon and our other enemies everytime I'm sent to help out with some sort of disaster. I was born to save lives, just like Joe, only in a different way. This is what I was meant to do, and I'm good at it. You know that just as well as I do."
"Why do you think Sora and I never tried to stop you?"
Tai studied the golden-haired Digidestined's face for a moment, but Matt refused to look at him. "Thanks, Matt. I knew you would understand. Sora does too, just like you."
"Huh?" Matt looked up in surprise, but Tai ignored him and turned to Yolei instead. "Do you mind telling me why you were screaming your head off a few minutes ago?"
"I wasn't screaming! If you want to know what's going on so badly then why don't you ask Izzy? He's the one with all the answers around here, and none of them are very good, I might add!"
"Yolei, I'm not psychic, you know. How do you expect me to tell you exactly what's going on when I don't know any more than you do?" Izzy protested. "The computer can only tell us so much, and T.K.'s probably too busy to send us another e-mail at the moment. We have to be patient. I'm sure Daichi and the others will be able to answer your questions as soon as they get back to the human world."
"Izzy, you do realize our digimon are in danger, don't you?"
Biyomon!
Sora let out a gasp, and clutching Tai's hand, she gazed at Izzy in horror. "Izzy, what is Yolei talking about?"
"Well, I don't really know how to tell you this, but...most of our partners, minus Agumon, Palmon, Patamon, Wormmon, Veemon, and Gabumon, are stuck in a forest on Cyber with Vampiramon and a large army of evil digimon, but that's not the worst part. Vampiramon's master is also there, and there's no telling what kind of danger they could be in!"
"Now do you see why Yolei's so upset?" Mimi asked, smiling slightly.
Sora crossed her arms and frowned at her best friend. "Mimi, I hope you're not worrying too much about everything that's been going on lately. Stress isn't good for the baby, you know, but I shouldn't have to tell you that, or should I?"
Mimi laughed and rested her cheek against Matt's shoulder. "I'm not worried, Sora. Palmon and Gabumon are with Ryoko. They'll keep him safe, but I do wish we had more information about what's going on with Biyomon and the others."
"Let me do the worrying for both of us, Mimi," Matt said firmly.
Sora nodded in agreement and turned her attention back to Izzy. "Well, at least we have some idea of what's been going on with Biyomon and the rest of our digimon, but that still doesn't explain what Kara and her friends have been up to lately. Do you mind filling us in, Izzy?"
"If you and your husband had been here earlier, you would already know!" Rosa scolded.
"I think maybe you'd all better listen closely because some of you seemed to have missed a few things, including a couple of you who have been here since the very beginning," Izzy said dryly, glancing at Yolei. "I'm only going to explain this once more so you'd all better pay attention this time!"
The lavender-haired Digidestined glared at the computer expert, but Sora held up a hand for silence and motioned for Izzy to begin his story. The computer expert quickly told them about T.K.'s e-mails, and after a brief hesitation he proceeded to give them an explanation about the glowing dots shining faintly on the computer screen and the maps he'd been using earlier to track Daichi and the others. The conversation then turned to Gennai, the crests, and Daichi's successful attempt to gain access to the castle's most important rooms, and with a few helpful comments from Taniko, Izzy finished his tale with the news that Daichi and the others had made their way out of the castle and were currently on their way back home. He also told them everything he knew about Jackie's group in the forest, and as soon as he had stopped talking, there was a long, thoughtful silence.
"Well, at least Gennai and the crests are safe," Jun finally muttered, her words shattering the tense atmosphere.
Joe glanced at his wife and slowly shook his head. "But...how do we know that for sure? We can tell Dai and the others made it out of the castle because of the dots on the screen, but who says Gennai went with them? The crests obviously did because their signals have merged with the dots representing Daichi and the others, but we can't be sure about Gennai. We know he was with them when T.K. sent his last e-mail, but that was before they made it out of the castle. Remember, T.K.'s last message about Ryoko and the others being safe came when they were fleeing from the dungeons. Anything could have happened since then."
"I have a question," Kenzo said slowly, his dark eyes narrowing into a frown. "Why haven't Dai and the others come back through the gate yet? Look at the screen. They've obviously arrived at their destination, but instead of coming back to the human world, they've just been standing near the gate doing...well...nothing."
Cody studied the screen for a moment and placed a reassuring hand on his son's shoulder. "You're right, Kenzo. They've been standing there for a long time, and so far they haven't even tried to make it back through the gate yet. Something must be up."
"Izzy, shouldn't you be e-mailing them or something?" Yolei shouted, glancing fearfully at the screen.
"That's what I wanted to do earlier, but you kept interrupting me and I never got a chance to finish my message. I wonder why T.K. didn't send me another e-mail after he and the others made it out of the castle. It would have been nice if he had."
"Who cares why? You'd better finish your message and tell them to get back here immediately!"
"Hey, Izzy, do you think maybe they're waiting for someone?" Kari asked hesitantly.
Sora stared at her sister-in-law in surprise and was about to say something when the computer screen suddenly lit up and a flash of bright light caught her attention. A moment later, Daichi and the others tumbled through the gate, and before she could fully grasp what was happening, Ryoko suddenly fell into her lap and smacked his forehead painfully against her shoulder. "Ryoko! You didn't hurt yourself, did you?"
"No, but I'm getting really tired of being knocked around all the time! Um...sorry about flattening you, Aunt Sora. I'd almost forgotten how rough going through the gates can be."
Sora smiled at the embarrassed look on Ryoko's face and gently smoothed back his silky, golden hair. Although she had never admitted it to her best friend's son, she loved it when he would call her Aunt Sora. It always made her feel so close to Mimi and Matt, and she knew Tai felt the same way when Ryoko would call him Uncle Tai. "Don't worry about it, honey. I'm just glad you're safe."
Ryoko smiled at her, but instead of saying something, he merely wrapped his arms around her neck in a warm hug and rested his cheek against her shoulder.
"Hey, Uncle Tai! You did make it after all!" Matty said cheerfully, beaming at the former Digidestined leader. "I'm not sure if you've noticed, but you smell a little bit like smoke. Were you putting out another fire today?"
Tai raised his eyebrows and smiled in amusement. The younger twin had fallen unceremoniously into his uncle's lap, but judging by the happy look on the golden-haired Digidestined's face, he hadn't injured himself in the process. "Yes, I was, and you do realize you're crushing Goldmon, don't you?"
Matty quickly scrambled to his feet and grinned sheepishly at the little in-training digimon groaning beneath him. "Oh! Sorry, Goldmon."
"Ouch, you crushed my ears!"
"At least he didn't crack his head on your chin!" Matt groaned, shaking his head and blinking rapidly to clear his vision.
Sora glanced across the room at the former musician and smiled in spite of her efforts to keep a straight face. Somehow Mickey had fallen into Matt's arms and banged the top of his head against the bottom of his uncle's chin. Both of them were wincing at the painful contact, and Mickey looked a little bit confused, as if he couldn't quite figure out exactly where he was.
"Hey! Careful, Ishida, that's my nephew you're manhandling over there!" Tai joked.
Matt sent the former Digidestined leader an impatient look and gently ran his fingers over the small lump forming just beneath Mickey's hairline. "Are you okay, Mickey?"
Mickey blushed furiously and managed a weak nod. "I'm fine, Uncle. I...I'm sorry."
"For what? It was an accident."
Mickey bit his lip and tried to scramble out of his uncle's arms, but Matt seated the older twin firmly in the chair beside him and frowned at his nephew. Even Mimi, who sat on Matt's other side, was staring at Mickey in surprise.
It's funny, but Mickey always acts more shy around Matt than he does around Tai. I guess that's understandable, though. Compared to Tai, Matt's not exactly an easy person to get to know. It's not that Mickey doesn't like Matt. Quite the opposite, actually. It's obvious he loves both of his uncles very much. He's just a little more hesitant to display his affections with Matt than he is with Tai, which is more than likely due to the fact that Tai has a very outgoing personality. Still, I wonder if Matt has ever noticed before...
As strange as it seemed, Mickey's attitude around Matt was completely different when Matty or one of the others was with him. Although he still acted a little shy, for some reason he was a lot more adventurous with his feelings if one of the others was with him, especially Matty. It was only when he had to deal with Matt alone that his shyness became painfully obvious.
I wonder if it's because he doesn't want to look bad next to Matty and the rest of his friends.
Unlike Mickey, Matty was never shy around Matt. In fact, the two of them got along quite well, and she was pretty sure it had something to do with the fact that Matty was a lot like T.K. and Tai, and Mickey, although much like his mother, really had a personality all his own. He was a little bit like all of his family members, including his dad and uncles, only...not quite, and that was what made him so unique. He also liked to speak in riddles. Matty, on the other hand, was always very straightforward and blunt. That was probably the biggest difference between the twins, and although they looked a lot like their parents, they also looked quite a bit like both of their uncles, as well, but more importantly, they each carried a little of their uncles' personalities too.
"Dai, I hope you were being careful. In my opinion, you should be resting and giving your injuries a little more time to heal, but obviously you're not going to listen to me. Your bruises haven't completely faded yet, and don't try to tell me they have because I just saw them yesterday!" Joe scolded, frowning at his nephew.
Unfortunately for Dai, he had ended up stumbling into his uncle's arms, and with a sigh, he allowed Joe to lift up his shirt and inspect the bruises on his chest. "I'm fine, Uncle. I don't need to rest! We kind of have a lot to talk about, you know."
"Do we ever," Sam mumbled. The raven-haired Digidestined had staggered into Noah's lap, and the look the older boy sent him was filled with concern. Sam pretended not to notice and turned to his father instead. "Dad, be careful! You're crushing Mom!"
"I'm fine, Sam. I should be the one worrying about you, not the other way around," Yolei sniffed, sitting up and shoving her husband to the side. She spotted Minomon sitting on Ken's head and let out a shriek. "Minomon, you're here! It's so good to see you again! How's Hawkmon doing?"
"He's doing great! Actually, he wanted to come with too, but Dai instructed him to stay behind in order to help Gennai."
Yolei pulled Minomon into her arms and gave him a quick squeeze. "That's okay. I'm sure I'll see him soon."
"I have no doubt about that," Ken muttered, kissing his wife's cheek.
"Hey, Aunt Kari, I thought we'd never get back home!" Takara sighed.
Kari had managed to catch her niece before the female Digidestined had ended up falling on her face, and the two of them smiled at each other. "I was starting to feel the same way, Kara. T.K.! You should be careful where you fall, honey!"
T.K. quickly helped Taysuke into a sitting position and gave his nephew an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Tay."
"T.K. didn't mean to flatten you!" Patamon said cheerfully.
Taysuke looked up and beamed at the little rookie sitting on top of T.K.'s head. "You must be my uncle's partner. It's nice to meet you, Patamon!"
"Same here. You must be Taysuke. Dai and the others told us all about you and your friends."
"That's right. It's good to see you again, Patamon," Kari laughed, smiling at the little rookie. "I can't wait to see Gatomon again."
"She misses you, you know."
"I miss her, too."
"Good to see you back, DemiVeemon," Ami said softly, pulling the little digimon into her arms.
Davis quickly climbed off of Cody, ignoring the younger man's exasperated look, and grinned at everyone. "It feels great to be back, and I don't know about you guys, but I'm definitely in need of some food. Hey, Mimi, look who we brought back with us!"
"Huh?" Mimi turned to look where Davis was pointing and let out a gasp when she spotted Palmon sprawled in Ema's lap. "Palmon?"
"Mimi!"
The two of them stared at each other for a moment and promptly burst into tears.
"Mimi, I've missed you so much!" Palmon cried, leaping into her partner's arms and throwing her roots around the rosy-haired Digidestined's neck. "I thought for sure this time I wasn't going to see you ever again. It's been so long..."
"I know, but we're together now, and that's all that matters."
"Um...Mimi? I think I've just tangled my roots in your hair again!"
Mimi started to laugh, and she hugged Palmon tightly against her chest. "Are we going to go through this everytime we meet up with each other after being separated for a long time?"
"Looks like it. Oh! Mimi, Ryoko told me you're having another baby. I'm so happy for you!"
Mimi gently untangled her hair from Palmon's roots and gave her partner a brilliant smile. "Thank you, Palmon. I'm glad you're just as excited as I am. You helped keep Ryoko safe, didn't you? I knew you would. It's just like I said before. I've always been able to count on you, and that's one thing I know is never going to change."
Palmon smiled at her and turned to gaze at Matt. "Hey, Matt. Gabumon kept Ryoko safe, too. He wants to see you again, but Dai asked him to stay behind with Benjamin and the others."
Matt nodded slowly and lowered his eyes to the ground. "Gabumon..."
"Leomon and the rest of our friends went to File Island, as well," Iramon explained, hopping onto Matt's knee and making a face. "We couldn't let Gennai go back to the Eastern Hemisphere by himself, not with the way he likes to get himself into trouble all the time. If you ask me, he's as bad as Dai in that sense."
"Hey! Thanks a lot, Iramon!"
"Dai can stay out of trouble when he wants to," DemiEmbermon said loyally.
Matt ignored the arguing trio, and Sora smiled when she realized the golden-haired Digidestined's attention had shifted from Gabumon to his son. "You're back, and thankfully in one piece, despite the fact that you probably spent the entire afternoon ignoring all my warnings about how dangerous the Digital World can be. Tell me, Ryoko, why do I feel like I should be getting you into trouble for something?"
Ryoko smiled innocently at his father and shrugged. "I'm not the one you should be getting into trouble, Dad. Unlike some people, I kept myself out of danger as much as possible."
For some reason Mickey's face turned bright pink, but Matt didn't appear to notice. Sora did, though, and she frowned thoughtfully at the older twin. Mickey seems a little embarrassed about something. I wonder what he's not telling us...
"That doesn't mean you didn't find a way to disobey me," Matt said dryly, eyeing his son.
Sora gently let go of Ryoko, and the golden-haired Digidestined slowly headed over to his parents. He smiled briefly at his father, and turning to his mother, he wrapped his arms around her in a warm hug and rested his cheek against the top of her head. "I told you I wouldn't break my promise. I brought Palmon back, just like I said I would."
Mimi hugged her son tightly, taking extra care not to crush Palmon, and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. There were tears in her eyes, but the smile on her face was filled with happiness, and the look in her eyes clearly stated she was proud of Ryoko's efforts to help her. Obviously she loved her son very much, and Sora knew her best friend would always be proud of Ryoko, no matter what he did.
"Thank you, Ryoko. I can't even tell you how grateful I am for everything you've done for me."
Ryoko held his mother close, and a small smile slipped across his face. "Don't worry about it, Mom. You would have done the same for me."
"I'm glad you're here, Palmon, but I think we'd better get to what's really important," Matt mumbled, looking a little embarrassed over the way everyone kept grinning at Mimi and Ryoko. "Davis, why don't you and Dai tell us exactly what happened in the Digital World this afternoon."
Daichi glanced at his father and took a deep breath. "Well, you see...things were going great until we met up with this digimon named Luciamon..."
