Thechaosmaster: Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful night! I wish I could say the same for me this morning.

Kurivolt: Boss, what happened?

Chaos: I don't want to worry you guys, but I am feeling very lucky to be alive, uploading this story tonight. Because if it wasn't for an unknown couple, me, and my whole family could have died. My family lives in an old house, now it is not too old school, but I will get to the point, this morning, at around one in the morning, I was awoken to the sound of my mother screaming for us to get out of the house, I said earlier that this is a slightly old house, well, it had a balcony light, almost like a chandelier hanging on the front porch, well, this morning, it caught fire. There were two thing that saved us this morning, the first is the couple that woke my mother up, the second, was the fact that our house has aluminum, if it wasn't for that, then I would have died, so I just want to say, whoever it was that saved us this morning, if by any chance you are reading this, thank you, you are a life saver. And let this be something to remind you guys, always try to be that person, the person who tries to save someone's life, because then, you are true heroes. Now, my house is fine, and everyone is okay, but I can't even begin to imagine what would have happened.

Kurivolt: Oh, sir. Why don't we move on to a more happier subject?

Chaos: Yeah, you're right. *Ehem* Anyways, guys, this is it, the start of the next arc, changes are coming, but there is a pretty cool surprise in this chapter, you'll know it when you read it. Also, for this one chapter, I just want you guys to review to me asking how I am doing. It can be about the story too, but I am still slightly shaken after this morning, and I would like to have my readers being concerned about me, besides, you guys killed it with the reviews last chapter, this chapter reviews, I would just like friendly conversations, or something, call me a bit greedy, but by you guys showing me love, gives me strength to write more. Well, enough with my ramblings, on with the story!

Kurivolt: Chaos does not own Digimon or it's characters, nor does he own the rights to me, we all belong to our respected owners.

Thechaosmaster: Okay, I'll get this done and over with right now. I'm a day late, but, I just got distracted. That is all, nothing insane or anything like that.

Blossom: Honestly, I'm surprised that you're actually being honest with the readers, Boss.

Chaos: Blossom, please, don't. Need I remind you that I'm human. And as such, I do make mistakes. And delaying this story is one of my biggest.

Blossom: Yeah, sure, and what about the Hero and The Dragon, Boss? Or, Tamers Assemble? Your DigiHearts Franchise? A Brave New Adventure? The Key Of Hazard?

Chaos: Okay, okay. I get it. Give me a brake, Alright. It's not my fault my imagination is uncontrollable. Whatever motivation I have, is whatever story I write. Side note, I do have the boss fight with Demyx ready to be uploaded, kinda, almost. It's 'finished' but I want to add more to the fight before I upload it.

Blossom: So, your lack of focus is to blame for all these delays?

Chaos: Yes. Trust me, I will get this story updating with real chapters soon enough, but it will take me a long time, hopefully not too long.

Blossom: Well, how about we give these guys the story now?

Chaos: Yes, we shall. Roll that disclaimer!

Blossom: You got it! Thechaosmaster does not own the rights to Digimon, Yugioh, their characters, he only owns Lukas Kamiya as well as Olette. Everything else belongs to those who they have been created by.

Chapter 12: The Truth Revealed

"It takes great strength and courage to admit the truth." Rick Riordan.

So here we are. All reunited together again after our temporary separation, and all standing in the aftermath of our victory against Devimon-Baka, and we suddenly see a holographic image of a bearded old man wearing a black and red outfit. Then the old man spoke, "So, you children are the DigiDestined. You must be strong to have defeated Devimon."

We were all on edge as to who this new person could be, and when I say everyone, I meant everyone but me, that is. Nii-San, deciding to question the 'mysterious' old man, asked, "Who are you?"

Matt-San looked at he old man with a skeptical eye as he asked, "Are you a friend of that Baka Devimon?"

I rolled my eyes at Yamato's question and said, "Obviously not. Or else we would know it by now."

The old man chuckled and said, "Fear not, for I am a friend to all. And yet a friend to none."

Olette-Chan then appeared next to me, and had a confused expression on her and she said, "Well, that explains nothing to us."

I chuckled at Olette-Chan's rudeness, and said, "Olette-Chan, please let the man continue explaining, for I'm sure that he could clarify if given the chance."

Then Sora-San folded her arms. "I can't believe it. There are other humans besides us in this world." She said in slight amazement.

Then the bearded man looked at the son to be Crest of love holder and said, "I am human, and yet I am not human." Honestly, the riddles that Gennai is spitting out is as clear as mud.

Then Mimi-San grabbed her head and looked like she wasn't doing any better understanding what Gennai is saying, and she then said, "This is confusing me!"

Then the old man looked towards Mimi-San and said, "No, my name is Gennai. I was unable to send you this transmission during your battle with Devimon, but now the lines are clear and only ten cents a minute."

I whistled in amazement at that, no call these days is that cheep, yet. Then I said, "Talk about your cheep calls."

Then Izzy-San looked up at the hologram and asked, "And who are you? Or for that matter, where are you?"

I stayed silent while Gennai said, "I am speaking to you far away from File Island, on the continent of Server."

Sora-San then uncrossed her arms and said, "Man, talk about long distance call."

I nodded at that and said, "You said it, Sora-San. So, Gennai-San, just how long have you been here?"

Gennai-San then looked at me and he said, "I was here since before the beginning and I'll be here until after the end."

Mimi-San straightened her hat a bit then she asked, "Are you the one who got us stuck here in the Digital World?"

Gennai-San shook his head, denying that it was him, then he said, "It was not I."

Mimi-San tilted her head in confusion as she asked, "Then, if you didn't bring us here, who was it?"

Gennai-San then looked at me, and I could already tell by the look he was giving me, that he already knew who I truly was, then he said, "Why don't you ask young Jeremy here? Or is it Luke-San, now?"

Everyone looked at me, then I sighed and dragged my hand down my face and said in an annoyed tone, "I am really getting tired of Digimon and other entities calling me by my old name. You, I can understand, Gennai-San. But the others that somehow know me?" I waved my hand in dismissal and said, "Whatever. My name is indeed Luke-San."

Then I looked at my friends and Nii-San as I said, "And it was not a Digimon or other being that had brought us here to the Digital World, but the Digital World itself, that had brought us here."

Matt-San then raised his hands, signaling me to wait a minute as he said, "Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Back up." Obviously he was confused and said, "Are you telling us that the Digital World itself brought us here? How is that possible Luke-San? The Digital World's not a person."

I smiled a little and said, "You're right about that, Matt-San. But, be it as it may, the Digital World is as alive as we are, maybe not in the same way, but alive nonetheless. The Digital World works in mysterious ways."

I pulled out my D-Ark and looked down at it as I said, "The Digital World seeks out those who are pure of heart and innocent in nature to become DigiDestined, in order to help protect itself." Then I looked back up at Matt-San and said, "The reason it chooses children, no older than us, is because children, especially those as young as Takaishi-Kun, are more acceptable to strange and more, unusual, circumstances. Whereas an adult would not. And it is the light of children which makes them stronger then adults."

Izzy-San looked at me and said, "Light of children? What does that mean?"

I looked towards the sky and said, "Innocence. The light of a child's innocence is what makes children special to the Digital World. Without that innocence, you won't be able to have the strength to fight what could possibly be an unwinnable fight."

Gennai-San nodded, possibly agreeing with my explanation and he said, "You said it best, Luke-San."

TK-Kun then looked up at the Digital Entity and asked, "Mister Gennai, sir. Do you know what we need to do so we can go back home?"

Gennai-San shook his head and said, "No, I don't."

That was when Nii-San folded his arms and said, "Boy, you're a regular fountain of information, aren't you?"

Gennai-San then looked at Tai-Nii and said, "I'm sorry I can't help you, but you can help me."

We all went, "Huh?" Well, I was just as curious as the rest of my friends about what Gennai-San could ask of us. Although, I did have a 'hunch' as to what it was.

Then Gennai-San looked towards all of us and he said, "Please come to Server and defeat our enemies. As the DigiDestined, I have faith in you."

Then Izzy-San stood up straighter as he said, "That's crazy. We don't even know your exact location."

Then Gennai-San looked to the little brainiac and said, "That's a good point. I forgot that you're from out of town. Let me create a map for you on your computer."

Izzy-San looked at his computer in surprise, and asked, "Huh? What?"

Then Joe-San went into his standard fearful personality and he asked, "What if your enemies are humungazoid? Do you think we can beat anything tougher than Devimon?"

I groaned in annoyance, I swear, why must Joe-San have too make sense, then I said, "I hate it when Joe-San sounds logical, it makes me feel like the world is ending."

Then I started to smirk as I said, "And it also makes me want to bang my head against a tree just to make sure I'm not having a nightmare!" I said the last part over dramatically, which caused everyone but Joe-San to laugh, then I said, "But when he's right, he's right. Devimon-Teme was powerful, and it took all of Angemon-San's power, combined with our own, just to defeat him. Unless we can get a major power boost, I don't think we can stand a chance against whatever Server throws at us."

Matt-San nodded as he placed a hand behind his back and said, "He's right. If the Digimon on Server are as strong as, or even stronger then Devimon-Baka, like he said there was, then there is little chance for us to win."

Gennai-San nodded and said, "Not presently, but as Luke-San had pointed out, if your Digimon could Digivolve once more you might be able to do it."

Agumon-San looked up in wonder at Gennai-San and asked, "So we can Digivolve even more?"

Gennai-San nodded and he said, "Yes, but you'll need something special to do it." Then Gennai-San disappeared for a bit, and soon an image of a tag and The Crest of Courage appeared as Gennai-San said, "If you have the Tags and Crests, your Digimon will be able to Digivolve even further."

Then Gabumon-San, his voice full of determination then said, "Please tell us where we can find these Tags and Crests."

Gennai-San then looked at each and every one of us, and said, "The crests are scattered about, you can locate them throughout the continent of Server. And the Tags were sealed away somewhere by Devimon." Then Gennai-San's signal was glitching out and Gennai-San said, "Oh, no. Devimon, you must come...Aahh!"

Matt-San, confused as to what was happening, then asked, "What's going on?"

Gennai-San then, in a panicked tone said, "Come quickly! I'll be waiting on Server!" And then, the signal was lost, leaving nothing but the hologram.

Mimi-San looked at where Gennai-San once was and asked, "What was that?"

Then I stood at attention and in a serious voice said, "That, was our next mission. Head to Server, collect our Tags and Crests, and maybe, just maybe, we can finally go home." I finished my speech by slamming my right fist into my open left palm.

We all sat down to try and digest what it is we were told, I sat down with Izzy-San as he checked his computer, then Tentomon-San said, "Gennai's transmission ended rather abruptly."

Izzy-San nodded, agreeing with the red beetle Digimon then he said, "Well, at least he was able to send a map through before he was cut off."

Sora-San then looked towards the brainiac and said, "I hope he's all right. What's our next move?"

I looked around and asked, "Isn't it obvious?" Everyone looked towards me with confusion, then I said, "We need to find a way to Server, collect out Tags and Crests. That is our mission."

Then Matt-San raised a hand and said, "Yeah, but how are we going to get there, Luke-San? Unless you happen to have a Modify Card that can summon up a Submarine, we're not gonna get anywhere quickly."

I looked towards my Nii-San, who had then punched his hand and said, "I've got a foolproof plan. First we'll eat something, and after that, I'm open to suggestions."

We all groaned at Tai-Nii's lack of a plan, then I grabbed a small stone and threw it at Tai's head, luckily for him, his skull has been proven to be the only thing harder than Diamond. "Are those goggles actually preventing your brain from breathing, Ani? Because when you said you had a foolproof plan, I actually thought you really had a plan. Looks like I was wrong."

Nii-San rubbed his head while everyone else laughed. But we did decide to have a bite to eat and catch our breath, and maybe after that, we could find a way to get to Server.

After what had felt like hours, we had finished eating, and were gathered around the campfire and I told everyone that I was going to tell them the truth. Everyone was sitting around the fire, each of us on a different log, with Olette-Chan 'sitting' next to me.

I looked around, seeing that everyone was now focused solely on me, then, after swallowing the last shred of fear and doubt, I said, "Now, before we begin, please note that I will not be revealing anything that could happen in the future. So before you complain, let me explain. If you were to know of your future, you would try to change it with every fiber of your being, and that could end up leading to some kind of disastrous consequences."

Izzy-San, being who he is, asked, "Like what kind of consequences, Luke-San?"

I looked at Izzy-San and, in a serious voice, I said, "Changes in what is meant to happen, Butterfly Effects that could be cataclysmic. Something as small as picking a flower that was never meant to have been picked, could cause radical changes. Now, I highly doubt that something like that will happen, it doesn't mean it CAN'T happen."

Then I looked down at the picture of Kari-Chan and said, "As evil as he was, take a look at Devimon-Teme. He knew he was going to be defeated, he said so himself. 'They said that the smallest will destroy me, and I'm not going to let that happen.' These were Devimon's exact words before he went after Takeru-Kun."

Matt-San's eyes widened as he said, "He knew his fate…" Yamato was quick to put the peices together, I was honestly expecting Izumi to be the first to realize, but, considering how I worded it, it wasn't ALL that surprising.

I nodded, seeing that Yamato was starting to understand, then I said, "Yes, and he still tried to change his future, and look where that had brought him. Sometimes, knowing your future, doesn't give you a chance to change it, sometimes, it could only leave you to fulfilling your destiny."

I said nothing as I let everyone digest what it is I had told them, then I took a deep breath and said, "Now then, no more 'beating around the bush' as some would say. Let's get to my story, and why I lied for so long. I'll start by telling you my story of how exactly I ended up here, and just for the warning, I will not allow any interruptions until after the story is done. Do I make myself clear?"

Everyone nodded in understanding, then I sighed in relief and said, "Good. Then I will start out with the day of my death, because it is unfortunately a short one. The year, was 2017, I was walking home from the local park, trying to clear my head about moving into a new house, that was when an out of control car came out of nowhere and hit me. I don't remember much after that, but I know that I saw my old family before I passed away. Then I remember a bright light, and the next minute, I was reborn as Lukas Kamiya."

As I told my story, I made sure to take notice of everyone's reactions, some were shocked, while others were hard to read, but, one thing that was the same on everyone's face, was that they, themselves, were showing some kind of either, respect, or sympathy.

Then I took a few short breaths, once I caught my breath, I said, "After that, I had spent the last ten years trying to readjust to living again, now, I don't know why I was brought back, or into a children's cartoon show. But I do know that the life I live now, I wouldn't trade it for anything." After saying that, I could see everyone giving me a gentle smile, letting me know that they were happy with that, and that they, themselves, wouldn't have it any other way as well.

Then I looked towards the growing beauty sitting next to me and said, "Now, for Olette-Chan. I had met her back in the factory, before the whole computer system and holographic keyboard shenanigans happened."

I saw that many were curious as to how I had met the girl sitting next to me. Then I continued, "It was when Izzy-San cut the power, and then turned it back on, I saw a strange glowing symbol, that transformed into the symbol of the Zero Unit, the same symbol on my D-Ark." I raised my D-Ark, showing them the very symbol I was talking about.

That was when Izzy-San said, "I thought you said that you didn't know what that symbol was, Luke-San?"

I lightly chuckled and said, "I hate to say it, but I was lying, Izumi. And I am pretty good at that, as bad as it sounds. Anyways. That was when I was dragged into my own mind, and ended up meeting Olette-Chan sleeping in a part of my mind."

I glanced at said beauty, who was rocking a light blush on her cheeks, Then I focused back at the others and said, "When she woke up, she at first was a little, how should I say, I guess angry would be the best way to put it."

I lightly smiled at Olette-Chan, who was blushing with embarrassment, which caused me to chuckle, then I said, "After that, I discovered that she had amnesia, and couldn't even remember her own name. So, I decided to call her Olette, and made a promise to help her regain her memories, and she promised me to help me find out what my purpose for being reborn here is."

I then slowly grabbed Olette-Chan's left hand with my right, I had noticed that I have been able to touch Olette-Chan now, like she had her own body, but she was still see through, and smiled at her, then I said, "But, I think, I really don't care why I am here, just as long as I have you guys by my side, I think I can say that, I am more than happy to spend the rest of my life here, with you guys."

And that was it, my entire life story, laid out right in front of my friends, now, it was up to them to decide how to take it. I then looked up at my friends and asked, "So, what do you guys think?"

No one said anything, then Matt-San looked at me and asked, "So, let me get this straight. What you are saying is that, our lives have been depicted on a children's cartoon show?" I simply nodded then Matt-San just shrugged and said, "After what we just went through, that is the least surprising thing I have ever heard today."

Izumi nodded then he said, "But wait, you said that you died in the year 2017, yet it is the year 1999, are you saying that you were sent back in time?"

I gave Izzy-San a shrug and said, "In all honesty, I have no clue as to what actually happened as well. As I said, before I died, Digimon was a kids cartoon show, so for me to have been sent here must mean that I was either, A: I was sent into another Universe. Or B: That I truly died and gone to my own personal Heaven. And, the more and more I think about it, it's probably option A."

I mean, there were multiple other options, but none of them actually any more sense then the first two. "How it happened? That is a question that I have repeatedly asked myself multiple times for the past ten years. But either way, I'm here now, and that is all that matters." I finished, finally getting this off my chest, and now, I felt like someone just removed an entire mountain off of my back.

After that, we were all silent, and I just stared at the roaring flames, and it felt like I was watching all my worries burn into cinders.

Then we all heard Joe-San freak out and say, "Oh, man! This is even worse then I had ever thought possible! I thought the worst thing could be that I would catch a summer cold! Now I have to worry about catching a computer virus!"

We all ignored Joe-San's annoying little episode while I unconsciously tightened my grip on Olette-Chan's hand, and we both looked at one another, and quickly looked away, blushing like mad, but still holding each others hands. Then I said, "You guys are taking this easier than I thought you would."

Sora-San looked at me and asked, "How did you think we would react, Luke-San? Freaking out over the fact that our lives were once a kids show?"

I looked at Sora-San for a while, then I honestly said, "Yeah, pretty much. I never thought that you guys would be this, chill, about this."

Mimi-San then looked at me and asked, "Is that why you were so scared about us learning the truth, Luke-San? Because you thought that we would hate you for hiding this from us?"

I nodded slowly and said, "Yeah, that just about sums it up."

Matt-San then said, "Well, you were wrong. You're our friend, Luke-San. And no matter what, nothing will ever change that."

I smiled brightly at hearing this then I said, "Thanks, guys. You have no idea how much this means to me." Then I lightly chuckled at myself and said, "Now I really feel stupid. I guess I should have been honest with you guys from the very start, huh?"

Everyone nodded, each one silently agreeing with me, well, not everyone was silent about it. "No kidding, Emo-Sama. You're one great big idiot."

And there it was, all the relaxation that I had felt had crumbled faster than an avalanche at Rouge calling me that annoying nickname, making my right eye twitch rapidly.

Izzy-San then looked up at my head and he asked, "Hey, Luke-San, where did that bandana come from? I know you didn't have it when Devimon broke the island apart, so, where did it come from?"

I looked at the bandana of Pride and smiled, then I said, "It was given to me by a, traveler. I won't tell you who he is right now, because I fell like he likes to remain anonymous. But I will say he is a great guy."

Nii-San then stood up and said, "Okay, everybody, now that we have stuffed our faces, and we had our story time, what are we going to do next?"

Sora-San then looked to my Ani, and said, "You know what's next, we have to go to Server to save Gennai from his enemies."

I nodded and asked, "Yeah, Nii-San. Did you forget already?"

Then Izzy-San checked the map on his computer and said, "Well, according to my calculations of Longitude and Latitude, I'd say Server is quite some distance from here."

Mimi-San then looked down at her legs then she said, "I can't even swim across the bathtub, let alone an ocean, I'll never make it."

"Why do we have to go, anyway? What I mean is, Devimon's gone from the island, the Black Gears have disappeared, too. We've been once around the island, so we pretty much know where everything is, we wouldn't have to worry about food or water." Asked Joe-San in a serous tone. I mean, he did make a good point, but not good enough.

I stood up and let go of Olette-Chan's hand and looked at everyone, then at Joe-San and said, "Joe-San, listen, I have already told you, we are not on Earth anymore. And we just can't stay here on this island forever. We were chosen by the Digital World to help protect it. And if we just stand around and do nothing, then we won't be able to go home."

Then Joe-San stood up and asked, "Why should we believe what this weirdo Gennai says? What I mean is, how do we even know this place Server really exists?"

I leaned my back against a tree and looked towards the sky as I said, "It does exist. And Gennai is someone we can trust, if we do what he says, we can go home."

Tai-Nii nodded at the complainer, and said, "He's right, Joe-San! If we hang around here, then we'll never get back home!"

Sora-San looked down sadly and said, "I don't know, guys, Devimon almost got us. Maybe we shouldn't go, at least we know what we're up against here."

I folded my arms and said, "So, you're saying we should give up on going home then? Because if we stay around here, then we are giving up."

Izzy-San closed his computer and said, "Lukas-San, even if we wanted to go, what mode of transportation could we utilize?"

"We don't even know what the fashions are like on Server." Mimi-San said, and Joe-San also agreed. But I have chosen to ignore Joe-San's desire to stay put.

I sighed at this, really, can't these guys put their worries to rest? I mean, seriously, but, I decided that, instead of yelling, I would instead say, "Look, I know that we had suffered a lot from fighting Devimon. Some more then others."

I said the last part while looking at Takeru-Kun, who was looking down at Patamon-San's DigiEgg. "But that doesn't mean we should give up! Let me ask you guys this. If some kind of evil Digimon were to find their way into our world, would you go and try to stop them?"

Not even a second later Yamato stood up tall and stared at me as he boldly said, "Of course we would!"

Then I looked him dead in the eyes, a smile slowly etching itself onto my face as I asked, "And why is that, Matt-San?"

Tai-Nii was the next to speak as he said, "Because, it's our home!"

I smirked, finally getting to the point and said, "So, why should it be any different here?" Everyone looked confused, then I said, "You're saying that you guys would go to whatever length to save our homes, right?"

To which everyone nodded, then I said, "Our partners will follow us to help us save our homes. So, why can't we do whatever it takes, to save THEIR home?" Everyone was taken back by that, almost as if they forgot that this world, was their partners world.

Then I looked down at the roaring fire, becoming almost, entranced by the flames, then, as I looked up, I shook my head and said, "I won't lie. This won't be easy, and, we could possibly get hurt through this adventure. But, you have to ask yourselves this very question."

Now, some would think that I am forcing their hands, but I am not. I was trying to get them to see that, running away won't do anything. Some, might call it a simple thought experiment. But all I am doing is showing them the door. It's up to them if they want to go through said door.

Then I looked at them and said, "If I'm willing to go through whatever means necessary in order to save my own home, to save my world and the people in it. My friends, family, loved ones. Am I willing to go through the same lengths in order to save this world? To save my friend's home? The answer, should be obvious."

No one said anything, it seemed like each one of them was weighing their options, that was, until TK-Kun tightened his grip on his DigiEgg and said, "Let's go!"

We all looked at TK-Kun in surprise, and said, "Huh?" I was surprised to see that it Takeru-San, out of all of them who would be the first to agree with me.

Matt-San looked at his Otouto in surprise and asked, "Takeru-San?"

TK-San looked up at me and said, "We don't know what danger will be waiting for us, but let's see. Luke-San is right. If it was our home, we would be the first ones to try to protect it, so let us go and protect this world! I'm sure Angemon-San would say the same thing if he were still around. So I'm going."

I smiled at the little DigiDestined and said, "Yeah, welcome aboard." I gently patted the little guys back, happy to know that Takeru-San was all aboard.

Then Olette-Chan smiled at me and said, "You already know my answer, Luke-Kun. I'm with you every step of the way." Hearing that made me blush very lightly, as well as made me realize that there was one last thing left for me to do tonight.

And it seemed like that was what decided everything. Because not soon afterwards, Agumon-San stood up and said, "We'll go too!"

Dorumon-San nodded with a smirk and said, "If we had the Tags and Crests, we can Digivolve again, right?"

Agumon-San looked over to Nii-San and said, "And once we transform into our new shapes, we'll be able to protect you for sure!"

Tai-Nii smiled brightly at Agumon-San and with a clenched fist, he said, "You da mon!"

Then Biyomon-San looked at her partner and asked, "Sora-San, what do you say?"

Tentomon-San placed a claw on Izzy-San's leg and said, "Our chances for success are extremely high."

Then Palmon-San smiled brightly at her partner when she said, "Come on, Mimi-San, we'll probably find the prettiest flowers on all of Server!"

Gomamon-San cheerfully smiled at Joe-San and said, "Don't worry about me, I'll swim to Server if I have too."

"Come on, let's do it!" Gabumon-San stated with a smile to Matt-San.

Rouge-San then smirked and said, "If you think I'm letting you kiddies have all the fun, you are sadly mistaken." I was surprised at hearing this, I would have thought that she would have just left, but, it seems like she wants to join. "I may not have a DigiDestined to call a partner, but I am not one to walk away without a fight, count me in. Plus, there's nothing to really do here anyways. And, I have grown to enjoy making Emo-Sama's life here miserable." And there it was. Why am I not surprised?

Then Matt-San stood up tall and said, "Let's go!"

Sora-San stood up as well and said, "Count me in."

Joe-San gently pushed his glasses up and said, "I'll go, I'm convinced."

"Well I'm not staying by myself, I'll go too!" Mimi-San said to us with a light cheer in her voice.

Then Izzy-San nodded and stated, "All right, it's unanimous."

Tai-Nii smirked and said, "That's great, it's decided, we're going to Server!"

We all threw our fists in the air and cheered, "YEAH!"

We had decided that we would build a raft first thing in the morning, but as of tonight, tonight we will enjoy one last peaceful night on File Island. I wanted to get some alone time and decided to sneak away from the group to do so, leaving Olette-Chan to chat about with everyone else. Allowing her to get to know the others better.

I ended up climbing up one of the nearby trees and watched the starry night sky. It had only about ten minutes since I climbed up this tree, when I could feel that I was no longer alone, but this company I welcomed. "The night sky truly is beautiful, Luke-Kun." A female voice said to me. Her voice, at this very moment, sounded almost, angelic.

I don't know if it was because I had finally admitted to myself that I love her, or if that if her voice really sounds like that, and I just never noticed it before.

But, either way, hearing her voice made me blush lightly, knowing that this was the chance that I was hoping for. I nodded agreeing with her and said, "It sure is, Olette-Chan. It sure is." I turned and saw that she was looking right at me.

I was mesmerized by the red and blue colors of her eyes. They seemed to hold both a burning fire, and soothing ocean in each one of them, they shined like a ruby and sapphire all in one each eye.

Then I took notice of her heart shaped face, that kind and gentle smile that just brightened up any dark day. Everything about her was nothing less of beautiful. I quickly turned away as I blushed deeply.

Olette-Chan looked at me in an innocent, and curious expression, possibly wondering why I seemed to be acting so weird tonight, then she asked, "What's wrong, Luke-Kun? Are you embarrassed or something?"

I swear, this girl must to know what she was doing to me, there was no way she couldn't. There was no way. And if she didn't, then she really is something else. I was nervous about her being this close to me tonight, I still remember telling Crescemon-Sama that I would tell Olette-Chan how I feel after Devimon-Teme was taken care of.

And now, here we are. I slowly turned towards her and nervously gulped as I softly said, "Olette-Chan..." This was it. This could be my only chance, my only shot to tell her my feelings.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and with a slight stutter, said, "O, Olette-Chan, we have only known each other for a few short days, correct?" 'Ā, sā, Kouki! She's right there! Just tell her already!' I told myself, trying to psych myself up to tell this girl how I feel about her.

Olette-Chan slowly nodded, probably not really understanding what I'm trying to say. Then she said, "Yes, but what does this have to do with anything?"

My blush deepened, feeling very shy and nervous. Facing down evil Digimon? No problem. Going toe to toe with Devimon-Teme? Bring it on! I'll do it again with one arm tied behind my back and a smile on my face! But, trying to confess my feelings to Olette-Chan? I am scared beyond belief!

And hearing her voice, that almost angelic, almost, unearthly voice of hers, it made my heart race like it used the Hyperchip Modify Card, and was racing around my ribs. I swallowed the lump in my throat, trying to calm myself down, then I said, "Just give me a moment, and I will explain."

I took a deep breath and I said, "Olette-Chan, when I had first met you, and I told you my life story, you were the first person I had ever told, Doru-San doesn't count because he had already knew who I was. But you, you were the first person who I had told the truth. And while we may have only known each other for a short time, three maybe four days, at least. In that short amount of time I have come to discover just how much you really mean to me."

Olette-Chan seemed to be blushing up a storm that could give the legendary Hinata Hyuga a run for her money, then she said in a shy voice, "Luke-Kun, what is this about?"

I blushed an even deeper shade of red as I asked, "You remember when I was having the nightmare caused by Devimon-Teme?"

Olette-Chan gave me a simple nod, telling me that she remembers, I also took notice of the fact that her hand twitched at hearing that Teme's name. Clearly she still wasn't over what he had done to me, even after deleting him.

Then I looked up to the stars and said, "Well, in that nightmare, I saw all of my friends, but, they saying that they were angry and betrayed at how I had lied to them, and hearing that, it hurt, their words cut me like knives."

"But you know that they would never say such things! They proved it not too long ago!" Olette-Chan said, pointing out that very fact.

I nodded and said, "Yes, that may be, but it the words still stung. But, they weren't all that I saw, O-Chan. I also saw you, and heard that you were angry at me, and said that I had broken my promise to you, and that you never wanted me to call you Olette-Chan ever again."

Then Olette-Chan interrupted and said, "But I would never..."

And I brought my hand up again letting her know that I wasn't done and said, "I know, Olette-Chan, I know, but hearing that in my nightmare, it broke me. It felt like my heart had been shattered. And, it also made me realize something."

Olette-Chan blinked a couple of times, almost like an owl, obviously confused and not understanding where I was going and asked, "What did you realize, Luke-Kun."

I looked her straight in her different colored eyes, the very eyes that I am beginning to feel like I could get lost in them. I closed my eyes for one moment, then, once I opened them, I said, "I have realized that without you, I would feel nothing, I would be nothing."

Here I was now, beginning to spill out my whole heart to this beauty, and my rapidly beating heart wasn't helping me at the slightest as I said, "The words of my friends cut deeper than any blade ever could. But your words, even in a nightmare, it had completely broken me, it had felt like a knife was being jabbed into my heart multiple times."

Reliving that moment brought a ghostly pain in my heart, but I buried it down deeply, not wanting to bring up that while I was trying to do something important. Then I said, "Your words, even in a nightmare, made me feel like my heart was being ripped out in the worst possible way ever. And that pain, the brokenness that I had felt made me realize, that without you, I would be nothing. Three, almost four days may have gone by since we had first met, but I still find you to be the most important person I have ever met."

Olette-Chan was now really blushing up a storm and I lightly grabbed her hand we both locked eyes and she asked, "Lu, Luke-Kun, what do you mean by that?" It was clear that she wasn't really following, or perhaps she was, but didn't understand it.

I could hear my heart beating at an alarming rate, so fast that I had thought it was going to burst out of my chest, then I said, "Olette-Chan, for the past ten years of my life, I have been on my own, even though I grew up with my older Nii-San and my precious Imouto, a loving Kāsan and a hardworking Tōsan, until tonight, no one but myself, you, Dorumon-San, and possibly even Rouge even knew the real me."

I could feel a single tear rolling down my face as I said, "I have felt so alone, so afraid of what is to come, of what could happen if my friends had found out my secret earlier. But, when I'm with you, I feel fearless, and I feel like I could take on an army. When I'm with you, I feel like I'm the king of this Island."

Olette-Chan's blush had just deepened, then she asked with a stutter, "Lu-Lukas, wh-what are you saying? I don't-I don't understand."

I sighed a deep breath, and decided to stop beating around the bush and said, "Olette-Chan, don't take offense of this, and please, please, don't let this hurt our friendship but, I,"

I gulped, trying to swallow my heart that was in my throat, then I closed my eyes and said, "Olette-Chan, I love you, and I don't mean like a friend kind of love. I mean I love you with my whole heart, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Olette-Chan. I truly do love you, Olette-Chan."

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Olette-Chan blushing like mad, but she had a lost look on her face, then she asked, "You, you love me?"

I nodded and honestly said, "With every fiber of my being. At first I didn't know what I had truly felt, but after the nightmare, and add on what happened back in Lunamon Village, I know now, without a shred of doubt, that I really do love you, and only you, Olette-Chan."

Olette-Chan then blushed so deeply, that it looked like her cheeks had turned into ruby's, then she stuttered, "Luke, I... I don't… I don't know what to say."

I looked at her, hope, worry, fear, and a host of other emotions flowed through me as I said, "Then, don't think, I don't want to rush you in this decision, but, why don't you let your heart decide, listen to it, and tell me what it says."

Olette-Chan's cheeks then did the impossible and blushed a new shade of red, then in a very timid voice, she said, "Luke-Kun, ever since I woke up in your mind, and you gave me my name, you have shown me a world I couldn't possibly have ever dreamed of."

Each word she spoke to me sent shivers down my spine, I was becoming a nervous wreak, waiting for her final answer. "And while I may not have my memories of who I used to be, you have done your best to be an incredible friend to me, and make me feel special." Hearing those words made me blush more and more deeper, as I felt my cheeks burning up more and more. "And I must say, I,"

She hesitated and looked down, and that hesitation made my heart run rampart and what her answer would be, then, with my heart literally in my mouth, her next words would be what either makes or breaks this moment.

She then looked back into my eyes, and I saw that her eyes were shining like bloody stars encased in diamonds. Then, she said the six words that would change our lives, forever. "Luke-Kun, I think I love you too."

My heard soared! I could feel a humongous weight lift off of my shoulders, then we looked at each other, getting lost in each others eyes, then we slowly leaned in, and as we got closer to each other, we closed our eyes, and, finally, our lips touched and I could have sworn that I had felt something spark between our lips as we kissed for the first time.

And in that one moment, during that one kiss, it had felt like time itself had frozen, there was no DigiDestined, there was no evil Digimon, just us, like we were the only two in the whole Digital World. Then we parted, and time once again began ticking, we were both blushing like mad, and I could almost feel Olette-Chan's heart beat, beating along side mine, running at a million miles an hour, then we both looked at each other and said, "Wow."

Olette-Chan then in a shy, timid voice, weakly looked away nervously, while at the same time glancing back at me, then she asked, "So, what does this make us now, Luke-Kun?" I saw her twirling her hair in between her fingers, exactly like she did when I had first met her, and to be honest, I actually find it to quite cute when she does it.

I gave her a bright smile and said, "It would make us boyfriend and girlfriend, if you don't mind being my girlfriend, that is, Olette-Hime?"

Olette-Hime blushed even brighter at the new nickname I gave her, and with a smile, she looked back at me and said, "I would be honored to be your girlfriend, Luke-Koi."

Hearing that suffics, made me blush like no tomorrow. Then I smiled warmly at her and kissed her on the cheek and said, "And I would be honored to be your boyfriend, Olette-Hime."

We then leaned against one another, with Olette-Hime resting her head in the crook of my neck, and I wrapped my arm around her, and she wrapped her arm around me, we both were hugging each other watching the beauty of the night sky.

Then the angle on my shoulder looked over to me and smiled, then she said, "I love you, Luke-Koi."

I smiled and kissed her forehead and sweetly said, "I love you too, Olette-Hime." Then we watched the night sky, simply enjoying each other's company.

Then Olette-Chan turned to me and asked, "So, when should we tell the others?"

I smiled softly at her and grabbed her hand, and intertwining her fingers into mine and softly said, "Sometime tomorrow, maybe when we wake up, maybe when we start working on the raft, as for right now, let's enjoy this moment of alone time, together, my precious Hime."

Olette-Hime nodded and said, "That sounds like a good ideal, Koi."

We leaned in closer and shared another kiss, this one was shorter, but it still felt amazing, then we continued to enjoy the night sky, enjoying each others presence. After a while, say, possibly an hour, I decided to climb down the tree and saw that everyone else had fallen asleep.

Lightly chuckling at seeing Doru-San and Rouge sleeping together, though, it kind looks like Rouge just straight up fell asleep on Doru-San after he fell asleep.

Looking around, I found a spot to sleep at, and laid down, then Olette-Hime laid down next to me, and she kissed me on my cheek and softly said, "Oyasumi, Luke-Kun. I love you."

I gave her one last kiss on the cheek and said, "Oyasumi, Hime. I love you too." And soon enough, I entered dream land, where I saw a possible future for me and Olette-Chan. It was a dream I want to happen.

The next morning, as everyone was waking up, I noticed that Olette-Hime was gone. But I really wasn't worried. I figured that when she fell asleep last night, that she must have returned to my mind, then I stretched and cheerfully said, "Ah! Ohayo, everyone! Ready to start building the raft?"

Tai-Nii looked at me in a very confused manner, then he asked, "What's gotten into you, Otouto? I have never seen you this happy before. Not even when you won your first two v one duel against Jake-San and Sarah-San."

Then, before I could explain what had happened, Olette-Hime appeared right next to me and cheerfully said, "Ohayo, everyone!" Everyone was taken by surprise at my Hime's cheerfulness. True she was always cheerful, but they hadn't seen her this cheerful.

Then Sora-San looked at her with surprise and asked, "You too?" She then looked at the two of us and asked, "What happened last night?"

We simply ignored them and Olette-Hime turned to me with a face splitting smile and said, "Ohayo, Koi." Then she kissed me on my cheek, making everyone's jaws drop.

I chuckled at their expressions, and turned towards my new girlfriend and said, "Ohayo, Himi." I then kissed her on her cheek, then I asked, "Sleep well?"

Olette nodded lightly, a small blush slipping onto her face as she said, "Best I ever had, love. Best I ever had."

We both wrapped our arms together then grabbed each others hand and turned to everyone and saw their jaws going through the ground. Seeing them like this caused both me and Olette-Hime to giggle. "It's times like this that makes me wish I had a camera." I said to Olette.

Olette-Hime put her right fist to her mouth as she giggled and said, "It would make a great picture, Luke-Kun. That's for sure."

We all watched as almost everyone's brains restarted. Surprisingly, it was Tai-Nii who was the first to recover and asked, be it, with a stupid expression on his face, "What the... What is going on here!?"

Me and Olette-Hime both looked at each other and lightly giggled, then we both said, "Well, you see..."

We then looked at each other and lightly blushed, then I asked, "Mind if I tell them, dear?"

Olette-Hime lightly giggled, then she said, "Sure, I don't see why not, love."

I kissed her cheek in gratitude, then we turned to our friends and I said, "Well, last night, after I finished telling my tale, I slipped away while you guys got to know a little more about Olette-Hime. Soon enough, me and Olette had a little heart to heart moment on top of a tree, and we both admitted that we love each other. And so, as of last night..."

Then both me and Olette-Hime said, "We're officially a couple!"

The looks on my friends were priceless! The only ones who weren't left in 'Deer in headlights' position, were Dorumon-San, Rouge-San, and TK-Kun. The first two were grinning and giving each other high fives.

Which I could only guess that they were happy, that, or they were betting on when we would end up together. Nah. Meanwhile, the latter looked very very confused, not that I can blame the little tyke, he is still young after all.

Then Tai-San fully snapped back to reality and then he smiled and walked up to me and wrapped an arm around my neck and said, "Man, I never thought my younger brother would end up falling in love before me, lucky guy. I guess I should say, congratulations are in order." He then slapped me in the back as he said, "Good for you two. Though, I thought you were supposed to ask her out on a date before asking her to be you girlfriend, Luke-Chan."

I simply blushed and said, "Well, all it takes is to know where to look and you can find love anywhere." Then I looked around and said, "And, you do remember where we are, right? There's not that many places where we could actually go on any dates. Besides, even when we do find a nice place to relax, we usually end up getting attacked by some Digimon before we could even think."

Tai-Nii just slowly nodded, while subtly glancing at Sora-San, 'Heh, now if you could only can gain the courage to ask Sora-San out.' I thought to myself.

Then, seeing how everyone was now focused, I asked, "Well, are we going to stand around all day talking about my new relationship? Or are we going to start constructing the raft sometime today?"

That got everyone's attention, then I raised up one of my Modify Cards and said, "Crescemon's Luna Nova, Activate!" Then the card began glowing and I soon had a massive battle axe in one hand, and a shield in the other, I placed the shield on my back and said, "Now then, let's get to work."

And soon, all of the others got to work on cutting down trees and using them to build a raft. I was with Olette-Hime, who was watching as I was cutting down trees and chop them up to decent sized logs to support all of us. But it was still going slowly.

Izzy-San looked at our current progress, then he sadly said, "At our current rate, it'll take us forever to build a raft."

Sora-San sighed as she placed her hands on her hips and said, "Don't worry, it's not like we're in a hurry."

I nodded while removing my bandana and wiping the sweat from my forehead and said, "Yeah, but Gennai-San could be in trouble." I then tied my bandana back on and lifted up the axe one more time.

Olette-Hime then floated next to me and said, "Don't stress yourself out, love. We'll finish when we finish." She then kissed my cheek and said, "Besides, I'm not going to leave your side any time soon."

I then blushed madly, but before I could react, I heard someone make a fake barfing sound, and turned to see Rouge-Chan with a smirk on her face as she said, "Kindly get a room you two. I don't want to see people sucking face right now." Though she was being rude, I saw that her smirk was actually, playful? It was hard to read this Demon Lord sometimes. She was like a Rubix Cube. A scrambled mess that was almost impossible to solve.

But, before I could respond, I heard the sound of footsteps and turned to the source and saw Leomon-San walking towards us, I rested my axe on my shoulders and wiped the sweat from my forehead and waved at the lion and said, "Leomon-San! What are you doing here?"

Leomon-San walked in front of us and said, "I heard that you were all going to Server."

Sora-San walked up to the large lion then she asked, "How'd you know that?"

Leomon-San smirked a toothy smirk as he said, "Oh, you know us monsters, we all love to gossip. So, I thought I'd see if you needed some help with anything."

We all smiled and Sora-San's eyes widened as she asked, "You mean you'd really help us?"

Leomon-San nodded and said, "I've got some friends who want to help as well." he then pointed behind himself.

We turned and I saw Centarumon, a half man, half horse type Digimon with a large cannon for a right arm. Elecmon-San, a red and blue fur covered skunk like creature with nine tails. And Mojyamon, a white yeti like Digimon all walking towards us.

TK-Kun laughed at the small, red Digimon and said, "Elecmon-San! Hi!"

Tai-Nii then pointed at the yeti happily as he said, "Mojyamon-San!"

"Centarumon-San as well!" Mimi-San replied with a smile.

Elecmon-San then walked down to us and said, "Yeah, hi, what''s up?"

Then we saw Monzaemon-San and Crescemon-Sama walking up to us as well.

Mimi-San happily cheered at the giant stuffed teddy bear as she called out, "Monzaemon-San!"

"And Crescemon-Sama! Awesome! Now that's what you call Digimon Power!" I said with cheer in my voice.

Then I heard Matt-San say, "Hey, look! It's Frigimon!" I turned to see a giant snow man type Digimon walking past Joe-San, who shivered from the cold.

Then TK-Kun saw the giant human torch and said, "Hey, look. It's Meramon-San."

"And the Yokomon as well!" Sora-San said happily.

Crescemon-Sama then walked up to me and said, "Leomon-San told us that you kids were heading to Server, so we decided to give you kids a helping hand getting there."

Then Centarumon-San nodded as he said, "It's the least we can do for you kids for freeing the island from Devimon's control."

Then I smiled brightly and looked at each and every Digimon present, then I said, "Well then, let's get to work!"

Then me and Crescemon-Sama began chopping down tres with our axes, and then cutting the logs up into even sizes. "I must admit Luke-San, You are pretty good with that axe. Almost as if it was made for you."

I smiled and nodded in appreciation and said, "Thanks, Crescemon-Sama. Although, I am still getting used to the Modify Cards being able to be used on myself, I have to say, I am beginning to get the hang of it."

Crescemon-Sama lightly laughed and said, "Oh, please, just call me Crescemon-San, Luke-San."

I looked at the village leader and asked, "You sure? I don't really want to sound, disrespectful."

Crescemon-Sama lightly chuckled and said, "You saved my village with the help of your friends. I think you have earned the right, Luke-San. You as well, Olette-San."

We both nodded in understanding then I said, "As you wish, Crescemon-San. As you wish."

Olette-Hime then floated up to Crescemon-San and said, "Crescemon-San, it's great to see you again!"

Crescemon-San look over to my new girlfriend and I swore I saw a mischievous smile on her face as she said, "You look a lot more cheerful then the last time I saw you. Anything I should know?" The knowing smile that Crescemon-San gave the two of us told me that she had somehow knew what happened.

Both me and Olette-Hime blushed in embarrassment, still getting used to being a couple, and we grabbed each others hands and I said, "I took your advice, Crescemon-San, now, me and Olette-Hime are an item!" I was still getting used to calling the girl in my head, my girlfriend, but, I wasn't going to start complaining now, not when I have her by my side.

Crescemon-San smiled brightly at the two of us, then she said, "I'm happy for you two. Come on, let's get back to work."

We all worked together on making this raft. It took us a while, but we were finally finished with it. It was simple, but it had the necessities. Then all of the Digimon rode the raft into the ocean, each one of them laughing all the way.

Then the rest of us kids ran on after them. We were all cheering, then once we got to the raft, Tai-Nii threw his fist in the air as he said, "All right!"

I grabbed a hold of Olette-Hime's hands and we spun around, cheering, "We did it! Now we can go to Server!" When we stopped our spinning, we looked into each other's eyes for a few seconds, then I smiled and kissed her cheek and said, "Here's to good luck."

Olette-Hime lightly blushed as she giggled and said, "Yay! I can't wait for this new journey!"

Then Izzy-San smiled as he said, "It's hydrodynamically designed!" As always, his technological genius brain was speaking.

We were all happy, that is, all of us except Joe-San, who said, "I think I'm getting seasick already."

I was about to tell Joe-San to stuff it, when Tai-Nii beat me to the punch. "Get a grip, Joe-San, it'll have to do."

Then Leomon-San and Crescemon-San walked up to us and Leomon-San said, "Believe me, that raft is strong enough to get you across the ocean."

Crescemon-San nodded and said, "Indeed. It should be able to survive through the whole trip to Sever."

Nii-San smiled brightly at hearing that, then he said, "Thanks, Leomon-San, Crescemon-San, without your help, we would have never been able to finish this."

Crescemon-San nodded and said, "And it has enough food and water to last for your trip."

Then I smiled at the Ultimate Level Digimon and said, "Thanks, Crescemon-San. And please, give our regards to our other friend."

Crescemon-San simply nodded with a smile and said, "I will, Luke-San. And I wish both you and Olette-San a happy adventure."

Me and Olette-Hime looked at each other and smiled brightly, but we both had light blushes on our cheeks. Then TK-Kun seemed to give a joyful sound.

We all looked to the little tyke and Matt asked, "What is it?"

We all watched as the DigiEgg started to crack and a white blob popped out and said, "Hi!"

TK looked at his newly hatched Digimon and said, "DigiEgg, you hatched!"

The white marshmallow Digimon, Poyomon, smiled brightly at TK and said, "Poyo-Poyomon!"

Mimi then squealed at Yokomon, and said, "Oh, how adorable!"

Sora smiled at the little guy and said, "That's great!"

Me and Olette-Hime watched the little squirt with smiled on our faces, happy at seeing young TK reuniting with his partner so soon. Then he started dancing around cheering, "Yea! Yea! He did it! Yea!"

Then Tentomon-San said, "Poyomon is a Jellyfish-type Digimon of few words. But if his friends are in trouble, he's ready for action!"

Olette-Hime smiled and floated up to TK and said, "Oh, TK-San! I am so happy that Poyomon-San hatched. This means he is one step closer to becoming Patamon-San again!"

TK-San smile seemed to brighten exponentially at hearing that and he held his newly hatched partner up and said, "Yeah! And I can't wait!"

I smiled then I moved my bandana over my left eye and said in my best pirate voice, "Aye, let's get a move on mateys! First mate Taichi, weigh anchor! Quartermster Yamato, prepare sail! Crew, let's move out! It is time for us to claim the seas under the names of the swashbuckling DigiDestined!"

Everyone seemed to laugh at my faux pirate voice and I moved my bandana back to it's original position and laughed with my friends. Then we boarded the raft and with Leomon-San and Crescemon-San's help, we were sent a course for the continent of Server.

We all waved our goodbyes to the File Island Digimon, and Leomon-San said, "This is goodbye."

"And good luck!" Said Elecmon-San with a smile on his face.

"We wish you a safe and sound journey, kids!" Crescemon-San said as she waved to us.

"Thanks!" Tai-Nii said with a wave. And Agumon-San waving both arms.

"Goodbye!" Said Sora-San with Biyomon-San next to her.

"Maybe we'll see you guys again some day!" I said with a smile on my face.

"Until then, goodbye! And thanks a lot for everything!" Said Olette-Hime with a smile. And so, we all said our goodbyes as we set sail for our next destination.

So, this was it. Us eight kids, nine if you count Olette-Hime, and eight Digimon, once again, nine if you are count Rouge-San, all eighteen of us were sailing for our next destination. The continent of Server. But the adventures we had on File Island will never be forgotten.

We all had to grow up fast in order to survive, and while my friends know the truth about me now, but they accept me for who I am and I am now happier for it, plus, I did get something much more valuable than any kind of gold or treasure. First a friend in a girl in my mind named Olette-Hime, who is now my girlfriend. And she is someone I will always treasure. We all grew up fast, besides Joe-San, who just threw up fast, but, he did eventually come around as well.

While I know somewhat of what is waiting for us on the other side of the ocean, what I do know, is that as long as I have my friends by my side, I will stand up to fight against what ever challenge comes our way. And as long as I have Olette-Hime by my side, I will be ready to walk a mile through hell with a smile on my face.

And I know that I won't face it alone. I will have my Nii-San's and Agumon's courage to be a leader, to always guide us towards victory. Matt and Gabumon's friendship backing me up. Sora and Biyomon's love to keep us together. Mimi and Palmon's sincerity to cheer us on. Joe and Gomamon's reliability to worry about us.

Izzy and Tentomon's knowledge to always calculate a winning strategy. TK and Poyomon's Hope to keep us moving forward. And Dorumon and Rouge's compassion and trust to just be myself around. And with Olette-Hime, we will never be defeated easily, because, whatever dangers we'll face, I know one thing is for certain, we'll face it together, as a team, as…DigiDestined!

After a while of sailing, Tai-Nii had his telescope out and kept searching for anything, then he said, "I can't see anything."

Then Joe-San looked down at the water as he said, "I wonder how much longer this trip will take."

Then Rouge scoffed and said, "Well, it's not like there's a sign that said, 'Tags of the DigiDestined in five miles North and continent in twenty miles. Northwest.' If they were hidden by Devimon, chances are, they're not going to be easy to find."

I lightly chuckled while leaning against the mast with Olette-Hime resting on my shoulder and I said, "Come on, Rouge-Chan, be nice. We get there when we get there. Besides, as you said, we still have no idea where Devimon hid our Tags."

Then Tai-Nii nodded as he sat down, then he said, "Yeah, just chill out you two, we just left not too long ago."

Then Joe-San sighed sadly, then he complained, "The salt air is killing my sinuses, and we've only got enough food for two weeks."

Rouge groaned and asked, "Is there anything you don't complain about? Because, if you keep annoying me, I'm removing your tongue." I will say this, Rouge may be a bit, vicious and rude.

Okay, she's really vicious and rude, but she was the only one who actually said the things I was thinking about Joe-San out loud, and didn't even bothering holding back her vicious words.

Then I felt Olette-Hime snuggle up against my arms, then she said, "Please be nice, Rouge-Chan, he's just being cautious, that is all."

Rouge-San then examined her claws and said, "Yeah, well he should be more cautious about annoying me, or there will be pain."

I only chuckled as I wrapped my arm around Olette-Hime and smiled, then Sora turned to me said, "You two really are cute together, you know that?"

Me and Olette-Hime looked at one another, then we smiled and I kissed my Hime on her cheek, then I said, "Yeah, I guess we are."

Then I heard Tai-Nii take a look at our food supply, then I heard him say, "If we run out of food, we'll catch some fish."

I heard Rouge chuckling as she said, "Oh, if you want help catching fish, I'm your kitty."

Then Sora-San looked around at the clear blue skies and calm seas, then she said, "Well, one thing is for certain, this is beautiful weather for sailing."

I nodded and said, "Yeah, I think this has been the longest time since we arrived here that we actually got some peace and quite." I would have taken out my notebook, to continue chronicling our adventure, but I was to busy just enjoying my time with Olette-Hime to worry about it.

Then I heard Mimi-San make a weak groan as she said, "Oh, I don't feel so good!" I looked over and saw both her and Izzy-San were holding their stomachs.

Then a dizzy Izzy-San weakly said, "I didn't calculate these waves being so rough."

I chuckled at everyone's little adventure on the high seas, but I just enjoyed the peace and quite with my girlfriend. But, as usual, all good things are never ment to last. I heard Tai-Nii shouted out, "Look out! Tidal Wave!"

Me and Olette-Hime were up and about, all sense of joy washed away and replaced with seriousness. Then Dorumon-San growled and said, "Man, that does not look good!"

Then as the wave headed for us, I shouted, "Everyone, brace for impact!" Then we all grabbed onto the nearest piece of wood to secure ourselves onto the raft.

Once it had passed, Matt-San looked up and said, "Holy-cow! That wave had to have been twelve feet tall!"

Then Izzy-San looked towards Matt-San and said, "Eighteen point three, to be exact."

Then Joe-San looked over the horizon as he asked, "Was that another boat that caused that massive wave?"

Then Tai-Nii shook his head and replied with, "There's no boat that can do that!"

After I regained my bearings, I slowly stood up and said, "Something tells me, that we could be finding out what made that wave soon." Then I saw something massive coming over another wave and I shouted, "Like now perhaps!"

We all watched as a massive object appeared, then Tai-Nii looked at the object and he shouted out, "An island!"

Sora-San then exclaimed in shock, "An island!? Since when does an island have fins?!"

Then the giant island/massive Digimon sunk underneath our raft, then it started to rise again, and Tai-Nii called out, "Heads up!"

We all screamed out in fear when a giant tail bursts from the sea, and sent us all flying, and soon the giant Digimon, which looked to be a brown and blue whale type Digimon shot out of the water and sent us, and our raft, under water. Then I said, "Anata wa watashi o karakatte iru hitsuyō ga arimasu. What was that?"

Tentomon-San, after regaining his footing, he said, "Whamon is a giant Digimon who lives in the deep oceans of the Digital World. It's Jet Arrows are unbelievable!"

Gabumon-San looked around then he said, "That guy was massive!"

Tentomon-San then continued his explanations, "A Whamon can sometimes be fierce. But I've never seen one act this aggressive before!"

Our vessel then burst through the waters and I grabbed my D-Ark and said, "Guys, I know this may look tough, but we might have to fight this guy!"

But, just as I said that, Whamon breached the waters again, only this time, he was charging right at us, and then, we all watched in horror, and almost in a quick instant, I put my D-ark away, last thing I need was to lose it as Whamon's mouth opened wide, I then shouted, "He's gonna eat us!"

We were all to frightened and desperate to hold on to the raft to even get our partners to Digivolve. Then, everything went dark. And soon, we were on one wild water ride that I did not want to be on. Then Sora said in a worried tone, "I really hope we don't give this guy a sore throat!"

I gripped onto the ships mast tightly, and yelled out, "Really!? Can't you guys actually worry about us right now?! We just got eaten by possibly the biggest Digimon in the entire Digital World, and you are worried that we are going to give him a sore throat?!"

Then Izzy-San stated, "Technically it's not the throat, it's the esophagus that leads right to the stomach!"

Then Joe-San cried out, "He thinks we're fast food!" Clearly this guy was nothing but fear at the worst of times. Like now, in fact.

Mimi-San continued to hold onto whatever she could, then she said, "So, he really did eat us!"

I gripped on tight to the sail, and I tried reaching down for my D-Ark, then I said, "If I could just grab my D-Ark. I would be able to get Dorumon to Digivolve, and slow down this wild ride." But a bump in the ride made me think twice about that. "But as of right now, I am not taking any chances of losing my D-Ark in the belly of a whale!"

Then Sora-San said, "Sooner or later, this has to lead to an exit."

"It does, but you don't want to go there!" Stated Izzy, he knew just where the exit was, and he didn't like it.

I gulped, because I knew where it was as well, and said, "Yeah, it's not the kind of exit that any of us wants to see." I slightly shivered at the idea of going out that way. 'Not even thirty showers using bleach as a body wash would be enough to get THAT smell off of me.' I thought to myself with disgust. 'And I do NOT want Olette-Hime, or anyone else, to go through that. That is the FINAL indignity.'

"I am not a snack! Ugh, I swear, if it wasn't for the fact that I am not at full power, I would cut through this Digimon like butter!" Rouge-San shouted out in anger.

"This is damaging my hair all the way to the roots!" Mimi-San cried out as she tightly gripped onto the sail.

Then Palmon-San turned to Mimi-San and asked, "Why don't you use my roots?"

Mimi-San then turned to Palmon-San and cried out, "You're a plant!"

Olette-Hime, was doing her best to keep up with us, even though she can grab solid objects, she was still a ghostly projection, and could fly when she wanted to. "Mimi-San, now is not the time to be worrying about your hair! Now is the time to be focusing on not being digested!"

Then, things went from bad to worse in a single second as these weird disgusting gunk was launched at us. "What is that gross gooey junk?" Tai-Nii asked in disgust.

Then Izzy-San took one look at it, then he suggested, "Maybe they're antibodies that are attacking us because they think we're germs or something!"

We all had to hold on tighter as our ride got faster. That was when Olette-Hime approached me, I reached out my hand, and she grabbed it, I then pulled her close to me and held her tight so I wouldn't lose her.

We all held on tight, while we continued to scream in panic and fear. Then we reached what I could only guess to be Whamon's stomach, that was when we stopped.

Sora-San took this as a chance to breath a sigh of relief, then she said, "Finally, we stopped. Is every one okay?"

I slowly nodded and said, "For the moment, yeah. Are you okay, Hime?"

I turned to Olette-Chan and saw that she was holding onto me tightly, obviously she was frightened after what had just happened, then I hugged her and told her in a lovely soothing voice, "Shush, shush, no need to be afraid, O, it's over. We've stopped. You're safe, dear. We're all safe. It's all over."

Olette looked up at me, tears in her eyes, she was brave yes, being able to keep up with us, but, I think that, because she hasn't had -San that 'exciting' happen to her, it just frightened her a bit. Then she asked, "Really?"

I smiled lightly and said, "Really." She hugged me tightly and was shaking rapidly, then I said, "It's alright. O, why don't you go rest in my head for a while, okay?"

Olette-Hime looked at me in wonder, then she asked, "Why?"

I smiled brightly at her and said, "Because, I think that it would be best if you rested for a while, you look exhausted."

Olette-Hime nodded and said, "Let me know when it is safe to come back out, alright?"

I gave her a quick kiss on the lips and said, "I promise. Once everything has calmed down, I will let you know."

Olette-Chan blushed and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek as she said, "I'll keep in contact, I'll see you later. I love you."

I smiled and said, "Love you too." Then she slowly disappeared as she returned to my mind.

Then Joe-San looked around at the 'sea' around us and asked, "Just where are we now?"

Izzy-San had a nervous look on his face and he said, "Anatomically speaking, this would be the stomach."

TK-Kun nervously pulled the collar of his shirt as he asked, "The, the stomach? Isn't that were food goes after it's chewed up?"

Matt-San slowly nodded as he said, "Yeah."

I saw something in the corner of my eye. I turned and I saw something red glowing in the distance. Then the whole 'water' that our raft was on, was slowly turning orange. "Guys, don't look now, but we might be in trouble!"

Nii-San took a step back in shock, then he asked, "What is that?"

"Gastric Juice!" Exclaimed Izzy-San in fear.

Mimi-San looked at Izzy-San in frightened confusion and she asked, "What?!"

Izzy-San then replied, "It's the acid in the stomach that dissolves the food!"

We all watched at the stomach acid started to eat away at our raft, I looked around at our slowly dissolving raft and said, "Well, it looks like if we don't do something quick, going to be quickly digested!"

TK-Kun hugged Poyomon-San tightly and exclaimed, "We're melting!"

Then Tai-San jumped back from one of the gastric juice and stated, "Don't let it get on you, or you could lose an arm or something!"

Joe-San then fearfully said, "We better get out of here before he gets a major ulcer."

Then I heard Sora-San gasped in shock and she exclaimed, "Guys! Look up there!"

We all looked up and saw a Black Gear, wedged into Whamon's stomach. "It's a Black Gear!" Dorumon-San stated in surprise.

I nodded, seeing just what could cause us to be in this situation and said, "Yep, that would definitely cause Whamon's aggressive behavior."

Then Gomamon-San turned turned to Joe-San and said, "Joe-San, do something to help!"

Then Joe turned to his partner in shock and he asked, "Why me?"

I groaned and said, "If you want something done right, do it yourself. Stand back everyone." Everyone backed up a bit as I took out the Dark Archery and Targeting Modify Cards and said, "Leave it to me. Dark Archery, Activate! Targeting, Activate!"

Then the massive Bowgun appeared in my hands, and a green scanner appeared over my right eye. I lined up the shot and said, "Hey, Whamon, time to cough us up! Dark Archery! And Fire!" Then an arrow of pure darkness was launched out of my Bowgun and right at the Black Gear, completely destroying it.

Everyone cheered and Tai-Nii slapped me in the back as he said, "Nice shot, Otouto! You're getting good at that!"

I brushed my noes and said, "It was nothing." Then the Bowgun and Targeting system reverted to being cards and I put them away. Then stomach began glowing a bright light. That was when Olette-Hime appeared, "Hime? You all rested already?"

Olette-Chan softly giggled and said, "Well, I figured that with that Black Gear gone, the cost would be clear for me to return."

I chuckled and playfully asked, "What am I going to do with you, O-Hime?"

Before I could get an answer, the raft suddenly began to float upwards, taking us all by surprise! "Woah! Now what's happening?" Asked Tai-Nii.

Not even wasting a single second, I quickly grabbed Olette's waist with my left arm, and the rafts mast with my right. And I held on tight as we were sent flying out of Whamon's blow-hole! Then we crashed into the waters, we were fine, but our raft, not so much.

Me and Olette were currently under the water, then we both looked at one another, then we both nodded and then we started swimming upwards, once we breached the surface, we gasped for breath. Then I heard Dorumon-San ask, "Jeremy, how are you?"

I grabbed one of the pieces of debris and pulled me and Olette onto it, then I said, "Yeah, I'm fine. And if I told you once, I told you a thousand times, my name is Lukas!" I looked around and I saw that everyone was holding onto debris, "Wait, where's Rouge?"

"Aw, you missing me already, Emo-Sama?" I head Rouge's iconic nickname for me, I turned around and saw her swimming on debris.

I sighed, relieved at seeing the Demon Cat of Lust was fine. She may drive me up the walls, but, I wouldn't wish anything but the best for her, and said, "Well, it looks like we are all in one piece, somehow."

Then Whamon-San turned towards us and Mimi-San shouted, "GO AWAY! NOT AGAIN!"

Then Whamon-San spoke in a deep voice, "Whoa there. Sorry about that. I must have had a stomachache or something."

I chuckled and said, "More like a Black Gear stuck in you stomach."

Biyomon-San looked up at the giant blue whale and shouted, "It's okay, we all know that it wasn't your fault!"

Sora-San nodded and said, "She's right! It was the Black Gear inside you."

Tai-Nii then turned towards the rest of and said, "Those Black Gears are rude, I'll bet that was the last one."

But, the ever quite annoyance of Joe-San had to add his two cents as he said, "I bet you're wrong!"

I turned to glare at Joe-San and said, "Joe, for once in your life, can you please shut up! I am really getting annoyed by all of your negativity!"

Whamon-San just chuckled and said, "Thanks kids, I owe you one."

"Don't mention it, Whamon, it was our pleasure." Tai-Nii said with a smile. Not at all worried that we're, quite literally, up the creak without a paddle, or, in the ocean with no boat.

But I decided to halt that relaxation train, I turned to him and said, "Now just wait a minute, Ani. Whamon, do you know how far it is to Server, by any chance?"

Whamon-San hummed as he said, "Yes, it would take me about, five days, uh, make that three and a half without traffic."

I smiled but then TK-Kun sadly groaned as he said, "Great, our raft is broken."

Then Whamon asked us, "Are you kids going to Server?"

I looked at our wreaked raft and chuckled, then I said, "Yeah, we were trying to, anyways."

Then Whamon-San cheerfully said, "I'll take you there myself."

My eyes widened and asked, "Really? You mean it?"

Whamon-San chuckled and said, "Of course, it's not every day your lunch saves your life."

Mimi-San then cheered, "Yea! Alright!" But then she kind of dipped into the water, only to be saved by Palmon-San.

Whamon-San then swam underneath us, and soon, we were all riding the S.S Whamon, on our way to Server. We all enjoyed the ride and Sora-San said, "This is great."

Izumi nodded and said, "This sure is a whole lot faster and smoother than that raft!"

I was holding Olette-Hime's hand and I said, "Yeah, it is."

"Which means I won't get seasick." Said a smiling Mimi-San.

Then Tai-Nii was looking through his telescope, keeping an eye out for anything, then he said, "Now if only we knew where we could find those tags and those crests that Devimon hid somewhere."

Then Whamon asked, "Did you say Devimon?"

I looked down and said, "Yeah, that's right. You know him?"

I heard Whamon reply with, "Well, I don't know anything about Tags or Crests, but a while ago Devimon hid something deep at the bottom of the ocean."

We all looked at one another and nodded, I then looked down at Whamon and asked, "Do you know where?"

Whamon then said, "It's on the way to Server, you can all ride inside me and I'll take you there. But no tickling." After he said that, we all went into his mouth, and we were there for what felt like hours, then we soon felt ourselves come to a complete stop.

After Whamon-San let us out of his mouth, he said, "I have to rest here for a while. I gotta drop a couple thousand pounds."

Tai-Nii smiled at Whamon-San, then he waved and said, "Thank's, Whamon-San!"

I nodded and said, "Yeah, thanks a lot!" We all then turned to face the cave entrance and I said in a serious voice, "Come on, we have to grab those Tags."

Everyone nodded, then I said, "Best to keep your Digivices at the ready. Knowing Devimon-Baka, this place will be guarded by some kind of vicious evil Digimon to prevent anyone from obtaining the Tags."

Everyone nodded and we all walked at a steady pace, but had our guards up, just in case we needed to make a quick Digivolution. Then we arrived at, a Super Market?

Then Joe-San rubbed his eyes like he was trying to deny the fact of what it was he was seeing asked, "What's that?"

"A convenience store!" Tai-Nii said, stating the obvious.

I chuckled and said, "Well, it is quite convenient. Let's go." But before we could even take one more step, the ground started shaking and something came out of the ground.

Matt-San grabbed his Otouto, then he asked, "What is it?"

I locked eyes with Dorumon-San and we both nodded, then I said, "Trouble. With a capital 'T.'"

Then the ground exploded and the Digimon was revealed. Agumon-San gasped, then he said, "Drimogemon!" It was a white and purple mole like Digimon with a large drill like horn.

Tentomon then decided to enlighten us about this Digimon. He then said, "Drimogemon lives deep inside the earth drilling tunnels. He uses his Iron Drill Spin and Crusher Bone to wipe out his enemies." We all then noticed the Black Gear on the back of his head.

"Ah! A Black Gear!" Sora-San exclaimed in shock.

Then Joe-San then yelled out, "See! I knew that couldn't have been the last Black Gear!"

I growled and said, "We get it Joe! Kuso! Can't you just focus on getting passed this guy!?"

Then Drimogemon stood over all of us and said, "It is lord Devimon's will that no one shall pass!"

Then Agumon-San turned to us and said, "Tai-San, leave this to us, you lot should try to find the Tags."

We all nodded and Nii-San said, "Got it!"

Dorumon-San nodded to me and said, "Yeah, leave it to us, Jeremy. we can handle this guy."

I would have told Doru-San to use my real name, but this was not the time, nor the place for such foolishness. "Just try to be careful, Doru." Dorumon-San gave me a nod as he, and the other Digimon, Rouge included, all got ready for a fight.

"You think that drill scares us? Think again!" Gomamon-San said bravely, sometimes I wish Joe-San was more like Gomamon-San. At least then I could handle him more easier. I rather have an overconfident jokester than a wimpy wet blanket.

That was when Joe-San's Digivice went off. And suddenly, Gomamon was now Ikkakumon. Drimogemon then charged in saying, "Drill Spin!" Then Drimogemon's drill started to, well, spin.

Then Ikkakumon then locked horns with Drimogemon, then Tai-Nii said, "Now's our chance!"

We all ran inside the convenience store as fast as we could run. Then Drimogemon was thrown into the store. But I quickly started looking for the tags. But I had to take cover when Ikkakumon's Harpoon Torpedo wreaked the store. I heard Kabuterimon-San shout out, "Electro Shocker!"

I sighed in relief, 'Oh, good. That must mean that the Black Gear is gone.' Then I looked around and I couldn't find TK-Kun. "Olette-Hime!"

My girlfriend appeared right next to me and asked, "You called, love?"

I looked at her and said, "I need you to find TK-Kun. I want to make sure that he's okay after the building crumbled." Olette nodded and flew off into the store.

That was when Matt-San ran up to me and asked, "Have you seen Takeru, Luke-San?"

I lightly smiled and said, "I asked my girlfriend to find your brother, he should be fine."

Matt-San smiled at me and said, "You really are something, Luke-San."

That was when I heard running, and I turned and saw TK-San running towards us, with Olette-Hime floating right behind him. "Hey guys! Look what Poyomon found!"

TK-San was seen holding a small brown box, once Matt-San opened it, we saw eight Tags, just laying there, then Matt-San said, "The Tags!"

"It's just like the ones Gennai showed us during his transmission!" Izzy-San said with a smile on his face.

Mimi-San took one look at the Tags, and she squealed, then she said, "How pretty!"

Then we all took a Tag and placed them around our necks, then I said, "Well, scratch one item off our list to find, only eight crests to find."

After we got our Tags around our necks, we returned to Whamon, who continued bringing us to Server. Then Matt-San said, "Remember what Gennai told us, guys. The Crests are scattered all over the Continent of Server."

"And if we get both the Tags and the Crests..." Gabumon-San started with a small smile.

"We'll all be able to Digivolve once again!" Agumon finished.

Then Tai-San tightly gripped his fist and said, "Then we'll just have to go out there and find the crests!"

And so, another new day comes to a close, and one adventure ends, but a new one begins, and this time, I am more then ready for what is to come, now that I have told the others the truth, and I have admitted my feelings to Olette, we have officially become a couple, and with her by my side, I fell like a new person.

And With our Tags in hand, all we have to do is get to Server, and obtain our Crests. But, will it be easy? No way. What new troubles await us on the Continent of Server? And What exactly is my Crest? Only time will tell. Tune in next time for, Digimon New Life!

Thechaosmaster: Woohoo! Oh, baby! That was an awesome chapter! Tell me, who was surprised by Lukas and Olette's relationship starting here? And be honest, does is feel, rushed? Take a look back to Making Peace with Demons, I practically revaed the relationship was starting after Devimon's defeat there. I honestly want to say, that I am glad that so many people are reading this, while I am getting plenty of reviews, as of this moment of me writing this chapter, Digimon New Life has a total of 1,641 viewers! That is incredible! Keep up the good work everybody.

Now then, onto a more serious tone, as I had said up top, if not for that couple, I wouldn't be writing this chapter right now, so, remember, always try to do the right thing, be mindful of neighbors, but always be helpful. Remember that. And also, don't forget to leave your reviews, either about the story, or for support on what happened this morning.

Goodnight, everybody, have a safe night, and I will see you all next time.

CHAOS CONTROL!

Chapter updated on Monday, September 14th 2020

Thechaosmaster: And, here we are, The Truth Revealed 2.0, I am happy to say that, Luke and Olette's relationship is one of my favorite relationships I have ever written. And, I actually feel like they are the most well developed romance I have ever written. Ash and Tina are cute, but their relationship was very rushed. Rika and Takato's romance are, well, its a funny romance, Takato is a goof ball, and Rika, while I may write her to be abusive, it's just her cold personality.

Blossom: Wow, that sounds, kinda pathetic.

Chaos: Gee, thanks, Blossom.

Blossom: No problem.

Chaos: Anyways, I am sorry for the long wait, and I will try to make these chapter updates go as quickly as I can, but, I will only edit one chapter a day, or at least, try to.

Blossom: Take care guys and girls. Bye bye.

CHAOS CONTROL!
