"Tentomon says everything is normal and he hasn't seen any humans there," Izzy said over the phone.

"Well, we are going to go check it out. If we find her, great. If not, we'll come back and save visiting the digital world again until we get her back," Matt replied, thinking of his missing niece.

"Alright, I'll be here if you need to contact me. Sorry I can't come help," Izzy reminded.

"It's okay Izzy, you have a new baby to watch, we understand completely. We'll talk to you later, bye." Matt said, hanging up the phone.

It had been two days since Kiara had gone missing. The group, Kari, Ken, Tai, and Matt, decided to wait a few days to see if she came back. Kari's theory was that she had gone to the dark ocean, they knew it could be a risk waiting, but they also knew charging into the digital world, or the dark ocean, could be pointless or even unnecessarily dangerous.

After two days though, the four of them were growing restless and decided to head to the digital world to start their own search.

"Now I know how my parents felt," Ken confided in Kari, "although it helps that we know about the digital world and know she could be in a world different than our own."

Kari nodded, trying to keep hope that they would find Kiara.

"Let's get going guys!" Tai said excitedly. He'd been wanting to see Agumon for ages and he just couldn't wait anymore.

The group went near a computer and traveled through to the digital world.

After looking around a minute, "It looks the same as ever," Kari said.

"Let's go find our Digimon. We could use their help, plus I've not seen Worrmon in years," Ken mentioned.

The group started walking down a path. They were in a forest area and knew if they strayed from the path they could get lost.

As if the digidestined's power called to them, Gatomon, Agumon, Wormmon and Gabumon appeared not long after.

"Matt!" Gabumon exclaimed, being the first digimon to arrive. Excited to see him, Matt ran to meet his digimon and they hugged in silence for a minute.

Wormmon was the next to show up, "Ken?" He asked. Wormmon had come out of the forest right next to Ken without him noticing.

"Hi there friend," Ken said picking Wormmon up and holding him close.

Agumon came next, very much like Gabumon did. He kept yelling, "Tai!" Until he was right next to him, and the digidestined and his partner hugged for a few minutes and asked each other how they had been.

Finally, Gatomon appeared, jumping out of a tree that was hanging about them, "Kari!" She said happily, but then, before she even got to Kari, she asked, "What's wrong?" The digimon was wiser than many others and was very tuned in to her partner's emotions. She knew when something was wrong with Kari, even when Kari was smiling or hiding something.

"Gatomon, I missed you," Kari said crouching down to hug her digimon. She started quietly sobbing.

"You're going to stain my fur," Gatomon joked about the tears. After another minute, Gatomon pushed Kari away from her and asked again, "What is wrong?"

The group sat down in a circle to catch up and fill their digimon in on what had happened in the human world.

"It's probably been 15 or 16 years since the digital gate was open," Matt started.

"Time must move different, it didn't feel like that long here," Gabumon replied.

"You knew we were dating," Ken gestured to Kari.

"You got married!" Wormmon said happily, noticing Ken's ring.

Kari nodded her response.

"If a ring means you are married, who are you married to Matt?" Gabumon asked.

Matt had forgotten how much had gone by since they had seen their digital partners.

"Tai is my husband," Matt responded.

"I thought only girls and guys can be married," Gabumon asked.

"Anyone can marry anyone, as long as they love each other," Tai responded.

"If Tai and Matt are married, does that make us married?" Agumon asked Gabumon.

"I don't think that's how it works," Gabumon said.

"Can we please focus?" Kari asked, silencing the group.

"Ken and I got married, and we had a daughter. Her name is Kiara," Kari told the group, "The reason we are here, is she's gone missing."

"Oh no," Gatomon said, hugging Kari's arm to comfort her.

"I think she went to the dark ocean, but we don't really know."

"We thought we'd check here first," Ken said.

"Well, let's get going then," Gabumon said, standing up.

The digimon evolved, and Kari and Ken went to search by the skies, while Matt and Tai searched by land.

Would they find her soon?
