Chapter 14
Yumi awoke in the snow, and sat up, a hand to her head. She looked around, and noticed they were back at the summer camp. She smiled, seeing everyone awake, but it faded when she didn't see the Digimon. "Where's Iinomon?" She questioned, and everyone started looking around for their Digimon. Yumi said, tears building in her eyes, "We must have gotten the cards wrong after all! Now we don't even have our Digimon!" "You can't get rid of me that easily!" Yumi looked up to see Iinomon on her lap, and she smiled, and looked to her right to see all of the other Digimon. She smiled, and Iinomon said, "We thought we should go get some food!"
The other Digimon held out some berries, and Joe said, "We don't need to eat leaves anymore! We can have real food!" Everyone was happy to finally be home. They decided to see what had happened while they were gone, and ran into their teacher. "Why haven't you packed up your gear yet? And what are you doing with those filthy toys!" Iinomon growled softly, but Yumi covered her muzzle, holding her tight. "We were hiking an uncharted trail and found that someone had thrown away these stuffed animals!" Joe said quickly.
"Yeah! And being the good citizens that we are, we cleaned up the mess, and I'm going to give them to my little sister, Kari, as a present!" The teacher wanted them to pack, and Yumi came back not five minutes later with her backpack over her shoulder. She was carrying Iinomon, and asked, "How are we going to get to Highten View Terrace?" Tai went up to the teacher and the bus river, asking if they could drop them off near Highten View Terrace. "No, we can't! The rules say that I have to take you straight home!" Yumi came forward, and said, "But we were feeling nostalgic, and wanted to visit our old hangout. It would mean so much if you'd let us go."
Iinomon gave him big Chibi eyes, and Matt said, "Please let us go! It was the last place we lived at before our parents divorced!" T.K. hugged Matt, sobbing, and Joe said, "I'll take full responsibility for them." "I guess you can go, then." Everyone thanked him, and got on the bus.
Iinomon slept peacefully in Yumi's lap the whole way, and Yumi started to nod off. They soon reached Highten View Terrace, and Yumi said, "It's good to be back! I've missed this place." Joe asked, "What do you mean?" "I used to live here before I moved." Tai said, "I did, too. Me and Sora used to go to Westside Elementary together."
"You guys went there, too? So did I." Matt said. Joe said, "I used to live here, too." "Me, too." Mimi said. "I lived here for a little while, too." Izzy said. "So we all lived here at one point." Yumi said thoughtfully. "Why'd you move, though, Izzy?" "I don't know." "Really, then I guess I should tell you." Joe said. "Four years ago, Highten View Terrace was bombed. It was the worst terrorist attack of all time. The terrorists responsible were never found, so people were scared it would happen again and moved away." "Really?" Suddenly, police cars raced by, sirens blazing, and Tai said, "Where there's trouble, there's Myotismon!"
They followed the police cars and saw a huge wooly mammoth Digimon. "Mammothmon!" Iinomon said. Biyomon decided to fight, and Digivolved to Birdramon. Izzy was on his computer saying, "Mammothmon is a fully Digivolved Digimon. His attacks are Tusk Crusher and Freezing Breath!" Everyone, trying to stay out of the way, ran on a footbridge. Suddenly, images of a fight came to Yumi's mind, and Joe said, "Is it just me, or does anybody else feel that they can remember the night of the bombing?" Everyone said they did, and Yumi said, "I remember two monsters. Wait…They were Digimon! Two of them…. fighting."
She remembered that her and her close friend, Obana, had been taking a walk when they had seen the fight. Yumi had told Obana to stay there while she brought Tai and Kari to safety, and Obana agreed. Obana had long black, curly hair, with green eyes.
"I think I know one of the Digidestined." Everyone looked at her with wide eyes. "Who?" They all asked in unison. "My friend, Obana Shimizu. We were walking by here when we saw the fight. She saw it, so she must be one of them, but…" "But what?" Matt asked. "She moved to Tokyo after that, and she doesn't seem to get my calls." Everyone turned their attention back to the fight, to see Mammothmon use Freezing Breath. Birdramon fell against the bridge, and Sora and Tai ran to her. Sora's crest began to glow, and Birdramon Digivolved to Garudamon. Mammothmon tried to hit them with a Tusk Crusher, but Garudamon covered them.
That action brought back the memory of the fire breathing Digimon Tai had seen that night. Greymon. "Guys, it was Greymon we saw that night!" Everyone instantly remembered. Garudamon lifted Mammothmon high into the air, and dropped him, leaving a crater. She then used Wing Blade, destroying him. She Dedigivolved all the way back to Yokomon, but Sora caught her. They all remembered that night perfectly now, but there time there was cut short when the police arrived. They ran off, and, when they were a safe distance away, Izzy said, "I knew it was no coincidence why we were chosen to be the Digidestined. We were all linked by a common event, and now I know what that event is."
"So the other Digidestined saw it, too. So one of them must have been Obana!" Yumi said, holding Iinomon tight. "What if Myotismon has already found them? I mean, he's been searching all day, and maybe one of them still lives here." "But Mammothmon wouldn't be going on a rampage if Myotismon had already found the other Digidestined. He's still looking, and we'll start looking, too!" Miharumon said stubbornly. "I'm gonna call Obana, maybe she'll pick up this time." Yumi smiled, thinking, At least we're home again. I missed my family so much!
