Chapter 7

I'm really sorry for my usage of incomplete sentences in chapter 5 D: I'll work on it, I promise. Also this will be the last chapter for awhile, I need to brainstorm this story a bit more, I know where I want it to go, I just need to brainstorm. Damn vague ideas. Anyways, enjoy.

"Shuichon! How many times have I told you?"

A younger Shuichon looked up to her brother, eyes tear filled. She held Lopmon in her arms

"Jen-oniisan, I don't understand..."

"What's there not to understand?!" Jen yelled at her "You can't be a Tamer, I'm taking Lopmon now."

"No! You can't take Lopmon! She's my friend!" She yelled back, clinging to Lopmon tightly

"Shut up!" He yelled, smacking her across the face

Shuichon fell onto the floor, still teary eyed. Lopmon tumbled over next to her. Jen picked her up, and walked away.

"LOPMON!" She yelled, tears pouring from her face.

Shuichon snapped awake, sweating and breathing hard. She had a headache, Ai probably had some headache medicine, but she didn't want to wake her. It was early in the morning; she might as well get up and get a head start on preparing to move out. She opened her eyes to see Makoto sitting next to her. She jumped up, surprised.

"Sorry to scare you." Makoto said "I was just worried, I heard you calling Jen's and your digimon's name."

"That's none of your business." She said standing up. She began to pack up her sleeping items as Lopmon slowly woke up.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Makoto said

"Yes, I'm fine." She replied smiling "Don't worry about it."

Ai was the next to wake up. She quietly walked over to Shuichon and gave her headache medicine.

"That's you're a lifesaver Ai."

Ai smiled back. As soon as they were finished packing up everything, they noticed that Kazuki and Ryota had slept through the whole thing. Fairymon, being a bit angry at this, walked over and tugged on both Kazuki and Ryota's ear. They woke up in an instant.

"Why'd you do that?" Kazuki said rubbing his ear

"Because we're lazy that's why." Ryota said

"At least someone gets it." Fairymon said

"Right, let's get going." Makoto said, pulling his goggles over his head.

West, they were still going west, right?

It was impossible to tell. They were so lost.

Well they hadn't made any turns so they must be still going west, unless they missed it that was, but how hard was a badguy's hangout to see?

Ryota looked over at his friend; he was walking next to him as usual. Then he looked up at Fairymon. That digimon was the only thing besides him that was able to read Kazuki like a map. He was a bit jealous, but that was ok. Being jealous was normal.

"Look guys, there's a sign up ahead!" Lopmon said, sitting up from lying on Shuichon's head

The gang ran ahead, eager to see what it said. When they got there, Makoto started to read the sign.

"Caution, Danger lies ahead." Makoto read aloud.

Suddenly a red beam from the sky shot down at them. Shuichon looked up and said "Run!"

But she was too late, as they all got sucked up into the beam, you could hear the screams echo through the digital world.

Our heroes landed, in, well, some sort of body of water. They all struggled to break except for Shuichon and the digimon.

"You guys, just believe you can breathe the water and you'll be able to." Shuichon yelled to them

Ai, beliving in her, thought about air and breathing it, and then she found she was actually breathing the water.

"It works!" Ai said "Everyone, concentrate on breathing air, and you can breathe the water that way!"

Eventually they all caught on, Makoto being the first and Kazuki being the last. They then began to swim around, trying to find out where they were.

"How'd we end up here anyways?" Makoto asked.

"That red beam was a digital stream." Shuichon said "They suck you up and spit you out in other areas of the digital world."

"That means were still in the digital world." Makoto said "That's a relief."

Suddenly, turtle like digimon started swimming around the gang. Ryota quickly swam after them.

"Hey! Can you help me and my friends?"

Most of them on this request swam away, but one stayed back and turned around to face Ryota. He instantly noticed the strange helmet on this digimon's head.

"Listen, do you know the way out of here?" Ryota said to the digimon

The turtle digimon nodded and then swam up. Ryota quickly followed it, swimming as hard as he could. He felt himself getting tired; his arms and legs fell limp. Luckily for him, Fairymon quickly pulled him toward him with one arm, using her wings to propel him through the water. The rest followed. The strange digimon led them to what looked like a huge castle with a big bubble around it. As soon as they approached the bubble, they found themselves outside the castle, which seemed to be built of primarily coral. A bunch of different sea digimon were entering and leaving the castle, most of them being very similar to our escort. Makato took out his digivice to identify the digimon.

"This is Kamemon." Makoto said "He's a child level digimon."

Ryota bent down to the digimon.

"Thank you for taking us this far, but where are we?"

The gang's Kamemon escort nodded his head as if to say 'follow me' He walked through the castle in a normal walking pace, but his feet moved very fast. Many of the Tamers found this funny, but they refused to laugh, biting their tongues to prevent the laughter from spilling out into the vast hallways. Then the group encountered a huge door. Kamemon tapped on it three times, and it opened.

There, sitting on a fast thrown was the biggest digimon you had ever seen. It was a turtle like digimon just like the Kamemon, but it was massive with a huge shell and guns for arms. Shuichon took out her digivice this time to identify the digimon.

"It's a Jumbo Gamemon." Shuichon said "We had better stay on its good side."

Kamemon reached up for Ryota's hand. Ryota reluctantly took the digimon's ha- erm, whatever it was supposed to be, and it led him closer to Jumbo Gamemon. The huge digimon looked down on the two.

"Kamemon 2578, what have you brought us today?" He asked

He walked behind Ryota.

"Oh yeah, you're the Kamemon born without a voice." Jumbo Gamemon said "What do you need kid."

"Well, we were teleported here and we'd like to get out." Ryota replied weakly

Jumbo Gamemon laughed, followed by the entire group of servant Kamemon that were in the room.

"Leaving this realm is impossible." Jumbo Gamemon said

The Guide that had assigned himself to Ryota shook his head.

"You want to lead them there?"

Kamemon nodded his head, it was followed by more laughter from his fellow Kamemon but he didn't care much.

"Fine, you have my permission." Jumbo Gamemon said "But you have to resign your position here, which means you will never be able to return."

"Wait, Kamemon." Ryota said "Are you sure you want to do that."

Kamemon looked up at him and smiled, nodding his head. Ryota put his hand on the digimon's helmet.

'What a kind digimon.' He thought to himself 'He sort of acts like a young child, how unusual.'

"Fine then, off you go, Kamemon." Jumbo Gamemon said "Take care of yourself."

As the group walked out, Ai was beaming at Ryota. She had never seen such a kind side in this cynical genus, it was a relief. Suddenly a glowing light appeared in front of Ryota, him, being a little frightened, backed away, but the light had other plans. It landed right in Ryota's hands. He looked down to see that it was his very own digivice. It had a turquoise tint to it. Ryota looked down at Kamemon, his partner, and took it's "hand".

"That's rather logical." He said "Since the Jumbo Gamemon…"

Who cares dude?" Kazuki said, taking up his friend in a headlock "You got your own digimon partner! See I told you guys, we're tamers just like you guys."

"I'm happy for you both." Ai said, calmly smiling.

Shuichon and Makoto reacted in a more indirect way, with anime style sweat drops on their heads, making the whole scene comical.

Kamemon then walked ahead of them, leading them to a way out of the watery world.
