Chapter 14

Reunion

Ophanimon and HiAndromon were battling head-to-head and none of them is holding back but the android digimon was now exhausted having been fighting for so long and his opponent had gained even more stronger powers and was fully energized. HiAndromon realized he was outmatched and decided to keep his word. He raised both hands to indicate he was surrendering. Ophanimon was relieved she had won and both megas de-biomerged. Kazu collapsed immediately and Guardromon had to carry him. Kari and Gatomon found a cave to hide out for a while. Kazu woke up in the evening and saw some fish near him. He quickly picked one and eat it. He found it was raw.

"Yuck! Who ever thought of serving raw fish?!"

"Well, you should wait for it to be cooked… Thank goodness Gatomon caught a lot of them."

Kazu looked up and saw Kari sitting near a fire cooking some fish with Gatomon. Guardromon was outside standing guard. Kazu could not help but check out Kari. He had been to busy with his inventions at the castle he did not bother with girls at all. He was immediately attracted to Kari's beauty. Kari knew what was Kazu thinking and sighed.

"Sorry, Kazu. I'm taken find someone else."

"Taken? But I never seen you with another guy…"

"It's a long story and eat some fish before Gatomon snatch the whole lot and eat for herself."

"Yeah, sure. Anyways Kari, where are we going?"

"First, have you remembered about the Tamers?"

"Yeah, roughly. I had several dreams and deduced they were memories, mine. I was the smart guy after all but my memories showed that I was a pain to some of my friends. So where are we going?"

"To the Primary Village. Davis told me the rest were going there to get their reborn digimon partners."

"I see. We better get plenty of sleep then. I can't wait to see Alice again."

"Excuse me?"

Kazu blushed and realized what he had just said.

"Uh…nothing. Let's eat shall we."

Kari realized something about Kazu. He has a friendly face and acts like a total jerk but he is actually pretty nice and a bit sensitive.

"Alice…..hmmm…. Is Kazu in love with the Alice McCoy?"

"Kari…mmph…you say something? Munch! Chew!"

"Nothing Kazu…Keep eating…"

Kari sighed as Kazu kept eating the fish showing no signs of stopping.

"Next time, I will tell Gatomon to catch lesser as the effort ia not worth it if only Kazu eats the lot."

To Tai's group

Izzy was checking his laptop as usual. Ryo and Henry was talking about girls, so unlike Henry. Tai and Sora were walking in front of them holding hands. WarGreymon X flew above them to keep them safe from any attack. Izzy, after tinkering with his laptop, had found out the location of the others. They were not very far away. Ryo did a happy dance. Henry sweatdropped seeing Ryo acting like a five-year-old. Izzy was busy telling the direction to take but only Henry and WarGreymon X was listening. Ryo was doing the happy dance while Tai and Sora were in a loving embrace. This pissed Izzy off.

"HEY!!! Stop your kissing you two! And Ryo, I am sooo going to throw this laptop at you if you keep doing that."

"Woaah, okay. Calm down, man. I was just fooling around."

"Fooling around?! The others don't have much time left!!! Have you forgotten about the sickness they still have?"

This snapped everybody to reality and listened what Izzy had to say.

To Matt's group

Hours left before die from sickness: 20

Alice was in pain by the amount of power the Hazard had. She had trouble walking and Yolei had to carry her. Joe began writing a will. Cody kept shouting at Joe to stop that and Ken was quiet waiting for the end. Takeru seemed lost in his own thoughts. Kenta tried to heighten their spirits by telling some jokes. Mimi was crying and Matt kept telling Kenta his jokes were lame. Suzie was asleep carried on ken's back. They seemed to be low in spirits as they knew they were going to die if the crestrock was not given to them in the next 20 hours. Yolei suddenly gave out a yell.

"Hey guys! I can see The Village from here!!!"

To Rika, Jeri and an unconscious Takato/Hazard

They had been walking for the past several days. They longed for a place to rest. Rika and Jeri had been riding on Kyubimon while Takato/Hazard was on Leomon's shoulders. Rika frequently looked at the blackened boy. He did not look peaceful at all. She quickly wipes her tears. She did not want Jeri to notice her crying all the time. Kyubimon understood how her Tamer felt. Rika was full of sorrow. She had lost her father and now maybe the boy she cared a lot. Then Kyubimon noticed a village. It looked like a playground for children but there a lot of digi-eggs. Jeri asked what village was that.

"It is called the Primary Village. Looks like another few hours of travel."

"up for the trip Kyubimon? You can take a rest, I don't mind."

Kyubimon was astonished that Rika actually told her to relax but the fox declined saying they must reach the place as soon as possible. Rika nodded.

Back to Kari and Kazu

After a long 10 hours of walking, they managed to reach the Primary Village. They were greeted by the sick chosens and the reborn digimons. Kari was still not happy as they were not cured yet. Right on cue, Tai emerged with the crestrock. The rock glowed and all the green spots on the chosens disappeared. Everybody cheered except Alice. The others began to grow worried for her. Yolei explained it had something to do with the Hazard sign. Then Rika and Jeri appeared. Henry and Jeri hugged each other. Rika just smiled. Then when Leomon arrived, attention shifted to the unconcious boy with goggles. Leomon let Takato down. The chosens looked at him with sympathy and sadness. The girls, except Rika and Alice, covered their faces and cried. The boys were upset and kept their cool. Alice, despite the Hazard's power pressing on her, went to Takato's side. Rika too. The two girls cried over the boy and hugged him. Alice had a question to ask the boy but knew he could not hear her but asked anyways…

"Why did Hazard appear on my hand, Takato? Is it because it chose me or you choose me to be responsible for this power?"

Kazu watched the scene not far away. Sadness filled his face. Kari felt sorry for him. The girl he loved loves somebody else. Kari wanted to give some words of comfort or advice but Kenta stopped her and shook his heads.

"There are times when he needs to be alone…."

In the midst of the happy, yet sad also, reunion, Azulongmon appeared.

"Chosens… it's time…."

Tai was the one who asked.

"For what?"

"Attack Apocalymon's castle."

"What?!"

"You must seek the crest of Miracles from the castle…"

Kari was shocked to hear this.

"What the crest of Miracles?!!!"

"Yes… looks like Davis had not tell you.. It's just like him. Too protective of you, just like Tai."

The chosens looked at Kari. Tai walked over to his sister.

"Davis had not tell you what? What is this to do with Davis?"

"Brother… Davis is not dead."

"What?!"

"That's right, Tai. Your protégé is alive. Looks like I have to explain to you what happened. I have told Takato and now you all will know."
