While searching for Tyrone and Sean, the gang found themselves in another area of the digital world. There they met Meramon. Meramon was trying to challenge Hydramon and free the Elecmon that Hydramon forced into enslavement. Meramon got hurt and Hydramon kidnapped Sarah to be his little servant. They were able to convince the Elecmon to help, but it wasn't looking good. Sarah decided to step up and used the power of Myotismon on Angemon to take out Hydramon. Kaz and Meramon also became partners, but what became of the boys?

Digimon
Tyrone, Sean, and Mistiomon were caught in the data cyclone and they ended up underwater. They were trying their best to hold their breath and tried to find some place they can surface. Sean pointed over to a place they can emerge and headed straight for their. All of them emerged and were in a cavern.
"Are you both okay?" Mistiomon asked.
"I think so." Sean said.
"How did we end up underwater?" Tyrone said.
"That was a data cyclone we got caught in. When that happens, we were transported here randomly." Mistiomon said as all of them climbed out of the water.
"Hopefully the others are okay." Tyrone said. All of them had a look around, but it seems like there was no way out.
"No way out." Sean said.
"Should we just swim back out there?" Tyrone said.
"I didn't see any other caves and there's no telling how far we are from the surface." Sean said.
"I already had a look around and it didn't see anything." Mistiomon said. "You two can't hold your breaths for very long. I'm not sure we could make it to the surface."
"What about digging our way out?" Tyrone said. Sean walked over to the walls and got a good feel of them.
"Not unless your hands are made of metal or drills. These walls are solid rock and we got nothing to dig with." Sean said.
"So you're saying we could be trapped here. Oh man." Tyrone said.
…
The Real World
"You've got be kidding. You mean those monsters we saw on the news. This is nonsense. Just tell me where this digital world is and I'll go there and get Kaz." Kaz's father said. Yukon called all the parents and he was telling them all that was going on.
"I'm afraid that can't happen." Yukon said. "I went to take a look at the rift they went through, but it already closed. They went through just in time." When the parents were told the truth about what's going on, all of them were instantly worried about their kids.
"Sir, I just checked and it seems like Rachel's parents aren't coming." Lesly said.
"I did think they were pretty stubborn. Probably upset I wasted their money." Yukon said.
"So you're saying our kids are in another world where those monsters live?!" Frank said.
"I know this is hard for all of you to take in, but those kids are there protecting our world." Yukon said. "Apparently, there's a group of digimon that don't like us humans. They think we enslave them and that they're superior to us humans and want to take our world. Those kids and their digimon are trying to stop that."
"But why does it have to be our kids?!" Louie's mother said.
"Allow me, honey." Taku said as he stood up. "My son actually told me about all this before he left and I tried to do a little research. From what I have gathered, there's some sort of link between humans an digimon. Digimon come here for numerous reasons and it's from this link that they form some sort of partnership with humans. Perhaps compatibility or such. What this link is or how it works I'm afraid I still don't know. These digimon are complex creatures and none of us believed they were real until recently."
"Do we have that link as well?" Jinta asked. "If the kids got digimon, maybe we can as well and we can help them."
"I'm not really sure. Perhaps it was just luck that they got their digimon. There's still much we don't understand." Taku said.
"Who cares about any of this? I just want Kenny back." Kenny's mother said as she practically cried with Senzu comforting her.
"We have to believe the digimon that went with them will protect them." June said.
"Yeah? How does that help that our kids could be gone for good?" Kenny's father said.
"Isn't there anyway to get our kids back?" Frank asked.
"We're actually working on a little something that might help with that, but I wouldn't worry too much." Yukon said. "If the digimon are able to come to our world, the children might be able to come back. What's more is that I gave them a communication device. They sent me a message saying they're all fine. You could talk to them now if you like." Lesly opened up her computer and started it up with each of the parents wanting to talk to their kids.
…
Tyrone and Sean
"There has to be some way out of here. We just need to think." Tyrone said.
"How do you plan on doing that? Unless we know how far we are underwater, it could be dangerous." Sean said. All of them tried to think of some way out of this, but that was when they heard a beeping sound.
"What is that?" Mistiomon asked.
"Wait." Tyrone said as he pulled out the communication device. "The communication device. Yukon is trying to message us."
"But it was in the water. How can it still be working?" Sean said.
"Maybe it's waterproof." Tyrone said. Sean looked to the water and was thinking. "Yukon's with our parents! They all want to hear from us. Should I tell them the truth?"
"You want to tell them we got separated from the others and got trapped underwater with no way out?" Mistiomon said. "You actually want them to worry."
"I guess when you put it like that, no." Tyrone said.
"Just pretend to be the others and type some stuff they would say." Mistiomon said.
"Good idea. Let's see. What would Julie say?" Tyrone said as he tried to think of something to say to all the parents. As he was working on that, Sean thought about the water. How could the communication device work when it was in the water?
"Sean, is something wrong?" Mistiomon asked.
"It's the water." Sean said as he kept thinking.
"Sean, you want to say something to your old man?" Tyrone asked.
"Tyrone, how do you think that device is working when it was in the water?" Sean said, but Tyrone wasn't really sure. Sean placed his hands in the water and let it fall. "I don't think this is ordinary water. Mistiomon, go down there and just imagine yourself breathing under the water."
"What for?" Mistiomon said.
"A theory of mine. Maybe the water is affected by our thoughts. Since the device couldn't think, it was unaffected or maybe Tyrone's subconscious allowed the device to keep working." Sean said. "Maybe if we imagine we can breathe under the water, we can. If you feel anything wrong, just come back."
"Very well." Mistiomon said as he dived right under the water.
"Are you sure about this?" Tyrone said.
"I think." Sean said. "Let our parents know that everything is going okay for all of us. We might have to take a dive soon." Both of them waited for Mistiomon to show up. When he did, he was perfectly fine.
"You were right, Sean. All we have to do is think we can breathe underwater and we can." Mistiomon said.
"Oh yeah! Let's go, Tyrone!" Sean said.
"Well, if you say so." Tyrone said. Both of them dived back in the water and went for a swim.
….
The Real World
"Are you all satisfied?" Yukon asked.
"Yeah. It looks like all of them are doing pretty well." Jinta said. "Now let's hope they are able to get back home."
"Don't worry." Yukon said. "My scientists are working on a little something that might help with that if they're not able to on their own. Lesly, what's the latest progress on it?"
"It's about thirty percent completed." Lesly said. "It's going to take some time to get this thing done and such, but we will. One way or the other, we are going to get those kids home." Yukon agreed to that. All they can do is wait and hope for the best.
….
Tyrone and Sean
Sean's theory was right. They were able to breathe under the water just by imagining they can. Since they had no problems getting through, all they have to do is swim until they find a way to the surface.
"This is amazing! I can't believe we're actually breathing underwater!" Tyrone said.
"Just be careful. Remember that our enemies are aquatic. We're in their territory. Sean said.
"Sean, look ahead." Mistiomon said. They looked in front of them and they could see light shining down.
"That might be our way out. Let's go!" Sean said as all of them swam closer to the light. Once they were under it, they swam straight up and found themselves above water. "We made it. So where are we?"
"Wow! Look at this!" Tyrone said. They looked around and saw tunnels in every direction above the water, even in the air.
"I've heard of this place, but I've never been here." Mistiomon said.
"Where are we?" Sean asked.
"It's sort of like a central station. Each of those tunnels leads to a different place in the digital world." Mistiomon said.
"I wonder which one can take us back to the others." Sean said.
"Sean, there's something else here." Tyrone said. They looked across the water and saw some sort of building. "Let's go check it out. Better than staying in the water." All three of them swam closer to the building to see what it was. They made it to the building and went on inside.
"It's a library!" Sean said.
"I know some people don't like to read, but this is ridiculous." Tyrone said.
"Maybe there's someone here who can help us." Mistiomon said.
"Good idea. Let's have a look around." Sean said. All of them searched through the building trying to find one person that might be able to help them. They soon came across a different room and it was a lecture hall.
"What kind of room is this?" Tyrone said.
"It's a lecture hall. A different type of classroom." Sean said.
"Hello, fellow learners." All of them spotted someone in the front of the class. It was a man in a hood with glowing yellow eyes.
"Who is that?" Sean asked.
Digimon Analyzer (Mistiomon's voice): That's Wisemon. He's an ultimate digimon, but he's more of a thinker than a fighter. He's probably one of the smartest digimon ever.
"One of the smartest digimon ever?" Tyrone said. "Perhaps this the guy that Stanford is looking for."
"This might be the chance we've been waiting for ourselves to get some answers." Sean said.
"Huh? I thought we just needed to find a way back to the others." Tyrone said.
"Yes, but this can help us out more." Sean said as he stepped forward with the others following. "Excuse me, Wisemon. Do you think you can help us? We have some questions. Since you're so smart, maybe you can help us."
"Maybe I can." Wisemon said. "Maybe I can't. I might not hold the answers you are searching for. After all, not everyone knows everything and that's including myself."
"That's fine, but it doesn't hurt to ask." Tyrone said.
"Wait. Are you two humans? Have you come from the human world?" Wisemon asked.
"Yes. We have." Sean said.
"Amazing. This is actually my first time meeting a human." Wisemon said. "I've heard of digimon going to your world, but I didn't know it could be the other way around."
"Okay. So maybe you can tell us why digimon come to our world in the first place." Sean said. "Do they go there to search for partners and become stronger?"
"Yes. You see, legends of our world revolve around humans and digimon working together to vanquish the forces of evil." Wisemon said. "Many digimon use that as inspiration to go to your world to become stronger or find some answers they have."
"Really? How long has the digital world existed?" Tyrone said. "Did it come into existence when humans invented technology?"
"That's like asking which came first. The chicken or the egg?" Wisemon said. "Perhaps the digital world existed long before the human world did, but that would be perplexing seeing as how what we're all composed of."
"You mean data?" Mistiomon said.
"Correct again." Wisemon said. "The digital world and everything in it is composed of data and we've learn to evolve and grow. That includes the digimon. Data is constantly expanding, growing, and changing. As we are made of data, we also follow what we tell ourselves. It's almost like we're programmed to follow the paths we take. Some digimon are born to be good and some are born to be evil since we are dived into categories of data, vaccine, and virus. Of course, we choose our own paths or perhaps the way we go with our lives is just how we were programmed to do it."
"He makes it sound like digimon are given the illusion of a choice when in truth they don't." Sean said.
"Could that really be the case?" Mistiomon wondered.
"Of course not. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Sounds like he's overthinking everything." Sean said.
"How do you know?" Wisemon said. "Am I correct to assume you humans didn't know of our existence? Therefore, how could you understand what really makes digimon who we are. Perhaps we are alive like you humans are. Then again, we could just be following our programming. We could just be deceiving ourselves. If that's the case, perhaps the digimon are programmed to be with humans. It could be in our codes for us to find a human to help our data expand and we need a human we're compatible with."
'What? Could that be true?' Tyrone thought as all of what Wisemon said was really getting to him. 'That would be the same for Dragmon. If that's the case, is our friendship based on some kind of lie? Is Dragmon just following what he was programmed for?' Tyrone always thought digimon were amazing creatures, but after hearing Wisemon's theories, he's starting to doubt that what he and Dragmon has is even real.
"I've never thought of things like that." Mistiomon said.
"Mistiomon, don't fall for that." Sean said.
"But Sean, I am made of data." Mistiomon said.
"Yes, but you think, feel, and act. That's enough for me to prove that you are alive." Sean said.
"I don't mean to frighten any of you or anything." Wisemon said. "It's just the facts of the digital world. It's natural for data to constantly expand."
"But with all the data, how is this world not in chaos and pandemonium. Shouldn't there be some sort of disorder?" Sean said. "After all, having too much data unorganized could cause some problems."
"That is why we have them." Wisemon said and pointed up to twelve figures in the walls of the room.
"Who are they?" Tyrone asked.
"They are knowns as the Olympos XII." Wisemon said. "They are similar to legendary figures of your world called the Olympians. They are twelve powerful digimon that watch over the digital world, helping keep order, peace, harmony, and balance. In fact, they are among some of the most powerful."
"Twelve powerful digimon that watch over the whole digital world?!" Tyrone said as he couldn't believe it. Sean looked at those figures and was thinking of something.
"Great one? Powerful? I wonder…" Sean said.
"What is it now, Sean?" Mistiomon asked.
"I bet it's one of them. I bet one of those twelve is the master of the Ten Seas!" Sean said with the others being shocked. "Wisemon, do you know the Ten Seas? Do you know who they answer to?"
"Yes. I've heard of the Ten Seas." Wisemon said. "I say it's most likely they answer to the one called Neptunemon."
"That makes sense!" Mistiomon said. "It is said that Neptunemon rules over all the digtal seas."
"I bet you're right! Neptunemon must be the one we're looking for!" Tyrone said.
"Finding the others will have to wait. This could be our best chance to get to Neptunemon." Sean said.
"What?!" Tyrone said as he thought that was crazy.
"We came here to try and stop the Ten Seas from taking our world and we know they answer to a powerful digimon." Sean said. "I don't know if we can take Neptunemon in an actual fight, but we do have to convince him that he's wrong about us humans. Wisemon, where can we find Neptunemon?"
"Please tell us. The survival of our world depends on this." Tyrone said.
"Very well. Neptunemon lies in a place that's called the Sea Palace." Wisemon said.
"Can you show us where that is?" Sean asked.
"Very well." Wisemon said as he waved his hand and a trail of light was being made. "Simply follow the trail of light and it should take you to the Sea Palace."
"Thank you. This is a big help to us." Sean said. Once they got the answers they needed, they went and follow the trail of light. Once they got outside, they saw the trail heads to one of the upper tunnels. "That way!"
"Neptunemon is the one we're looking for. We've got to convince him that we humans aren't that bad." Tyrone said. Once it was clear what they had to do, they moved out and climbed the trail to face their enemy.
To Be Continued….
That Wisemon sure likes to talk a lot. At least now they know what they're up against. What will they do once they meet Neptunemon? Keep watching Digimon Digital Monsters.
