THIS CHAPTER IS DEDICATED TO: Erumina!! NICE!
Also...ESAMEE?? COME ON NOW PEOPLE! WORK WITH ME HERE!
As you can probably guess…I've changed my username because Digidestend Angel was getting old. I asked my friend what I should change it too (not that she knows of this site, but I asked in general) and she said that I should be realistic and gave me this idea. Miss Independent 4 Ever. I was named that in the yearbook "Miss Independent" and I was also named "Most Sarcastic" and "Shortest". Isn't that lovely?...not!

With Everyone At The Takashi Household…
Now the rest of Marc's team was present at T.K. and Kari's household, well…all except the ones who were captured. Let me name who's left so you guys can be less confused:
Aiden
Takeo
Dishi
Esamee

Kyle
Bridget
Chance

…Kannon…uh-huh…for now…
And the captured ones:
Marc
Taya
Nikko
Kira
Kiyoshi
Marisol
Aiden chuckled, even though he was stressed and worried, quite loudly. Everyone looked to him like he was crazy. Kari, T.K., Tai, Matt, and Joe looked at him like he had three heads. Sora and Yolei looked at him worriedly. Chance raised an eyebrow as he was sandwiched between an emotionally Mimi and a relieved Izzy, with Kimberly and Kyle real close. The four were extremely happy to have him back. Mimi and Izzy decided that they would move back to Japan. Of course, convincing the youngest May and Daniel of that; the two didn't know who Chance was. May didn't, even though she was already born before he died, but he was with GranDracmon then, so she didn't know who the heck he was. Daniel was after. They had heard of Chance, of course, but they have a short attention span of an ant, so they didn't listen well…nor will they ever.
Dishi and Esamee blinked. "Dude…are you drunk? You're acting like an idiot." Dishi asked, while holding onto his nine month old son, Henry (changed his name). Their daughter was playing with Ryo, who was holding Bridget's daughter.
"No, that's just how he is naturally."
"SHUT UP, ESAMEE!" Aiden snapped, quitting the chuckling and turned into anger in his voice along with a dangerous glare.
(We all know that Esamee will always be Esamee towards the old team, right?)
Matthew and Taichi looked to each other and shrugged. "Why are you laughing?" Aiden turned his attention to Bridget, who sat with Ryo; Ryo was holding his niece, Cassidy and dealing with his other niece, Paige, away from everyone. "You're wife is in grave danger, along with your cousins and friends, so you laugh?" Bridget asked coldly.
Aiden narrowed his eyes. "No. I was laughing because I know who is their next target is." He smirked. "I have a hunch whose next, but he's not going without a fight I can guarantee that."
Ken looked to him. "It's Kannon…isn't it?"
Aiden shrugged. "That's my guess."
Chance retaliated from the conversation and looked around. He got alarmed. –What the hell! I didn't even notice!- He escaped his parents grasp. "I have to use the bathroom." He told them quickly. Mimi and Izzy nodded, smiling; they were so thankful to have him back…and still a teenager as well. He walked to the bathroom, but escaped to upstairs into Kanaye's room. A green laptop was open, with the digiport on it. –Kanaye, Sakura, and Maro already left to find Marc and the others! I have to tell everyone!- Chance ran downstairs. He wasn't one to rat people out, but when they were heading into life-threatening danger, he knew better. He got down and panted, getting everyone's attention.
Izzy stood up. "Chance, what's-"
"Sakura, Kanaye, and Maro went to the digital world to fight…alone!"
"SAY WHAT??" Taichi screamed, fire in his eyes, steam coming out his ears, and face turning red. "HOW DARE THOSE THREE BONEHEADS GO WITHOUT US, ESPECIALLY ME!!"
"Hey, hey!" T.K. snapped. Taichi calms down…kind of…actually no, he doesn't. T.K. clears his throat and crosses his arms. Everyone waits with anxiety and curiosity of what he's going to say. "...Kanaye and Sakura have straight 'A's' and have an IQ of 164, so they're not boneheads." He stated simply.
Everyone fell over at his response.
Chance waved his hands up in the air. "Uh…hi?" They look at him again. "…the three youngest digidestend are missing...and you're sitting here talking about how smart they are…but they ran off into the digital world at the most dangerous time of all time without you guys...yeah…I agree with Taichi over there and say that they're idiots."
Aiden scratched his head. "Yeah…Maro doesn't have the big of an IQ…"
Kari decided to shut these boys up. "SHUT UP AND GO SAVE MY BABIES AND MY FIRST GRANDSON NOW OR ELSE!" She screamed.
Everyone blinked. Matthew blinked. "Whoa…mood swing."
Taichi eyes widened. "OMG MOM, ARE YOU PREGNANT?"
"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT IDEA??" T.K., Tai, and Matthew screamed.
"Statistics show that when women have major mood swings, it is either they have been "blessed" or they're pregnant." Taichi explained in an intelligent way.
Kari rolled her eyes. "Two things, Taichi dear. One: I'm not pregnant."
"Why, cause you're old?" Taichi asked without thinking.
Kari clenched her fist. Everyone cringed, thinking she was going to blow. "I'm going to let that go." She whispered and regained herself. "I'm not…I repeat…NOT old!" She said somewhat calmly. "Two: How come you get C's and D's on your report card, but you just said the most intelligent thing I have ever heard out of your mouth?"
Taichi blinked. "I did?"
…Crickets were heard.
Kari sighed. "Never-mind."
"Um…" Aiden raised his hand. "Can we go save my son, baby brother, and baby sister?"
"Oh, yeah, we almost forgot! Sure, why not?"
With Kannon…New York City…
Kannon Ichijouji slammed his head on the desk in a huge classroom at the famous college university in New York. Medical school was killing him as he strived to ace this test he was currently taking. Except now he was almost finished…except for one question…
So if a babygram showed the future newborn to be blind or deaf, how could you gently explain the complicated situation to the parents, who are excited to have this baby?
I would most definitely be easy, but be firm. If one or both breaks down, just to be compassionate and gentle to both parents. Hopefully they would understand and not make it hard on me.
What options could you give the parents if they were in desperate condition?
I would have to option them with adoption, abortion, or counseling on how to care for a disabled infant/child. I would be patient with them while they made their decision.
If the parents asked how this disability had occurred with their non-born baby, what would you explain?
I would explain to them that it could've been gentitic or it was from the mother smoking/drinking constantly. Or the baby would've naturally have obtained this.
If they agreed to abortion, how would you give the mother the procedure? Please be very specific.
Kannon groaned. –I hate this part of the tests! I'm no good at going through the steps of giving an abortion, nor would I ever do this! So why do I have to learn it?-
AFTER THE TEST…
"A 'C-'! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!" Kannon screamed at the top of his lungs once he got the paper back. Fortunately for him, everyone had already left the classroom. "I HATE MED SCHOOL! WHY CAN'T MY CALLING BE SOMETHING SIMPLER?? WHY DO YOU CURSE ME, MOTHER NATURE! WHY??"
Ring…ring…ring…
"WHAT?!"
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU ANSWER YOU'RE PHONE THAT WAY? DON'T YOU EVER TALK TO ME THAT WAY, YOU MEDICAL SCHOOL GEEK SON OF MINE!"
Kannon forgot his anger and test when he heard his mother's voice. "Uh…hi, mommy." He said, fearing his mother at the moment, even though he was all the way across the world.
"DON'T YOU "HI MOMMY" ME, KANNON TIMOTHY ICHJOUJI! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WOULD TALK TO YOUR MOTHER LIKE THAT! I GAVE BIRTH TO YOU! I GAVE YOU LIFE! I CREATED YOU! SURE, YOUR FATHER HELPED A LITTLE, BUT ONLY FOR FIVE MINUTES!"
Kannon went pale. –that was MORE than I needed to know!...oh god, BAD IMAGE!! Okay, Kannon, think happy thoughts! THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS, DAMMIT!-
"JUST WAIT TILL I SEE YOU! YOU'LL GET A PIECE OF MY MIND! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU! I JUST CALLED TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR BABY SISTER WAS KIDNAPPED BY EVIL, DEMENTED, LOST, STUPID DIGIMON, BUT YOU JUST YELL AT ME! HOW DARE YOU? YOU JUST WAIT-"
"Wait a minute! What happened to Kira? She was kidnapped? Where the hell was Micah during all this? I'm going to strangle that kid if it's the last thing I do!" Kannon fumed.
"Kannon, try to understand, please." Now his sister's fiancée and Kannon's next victim was heard over the phone. "I was trying to rescue her, I swear, but I was too slow. Nikko found her, but unfortunately they both were captured…Kannon…there's something horrible happening."
Kannon gripped his phone. "Go on." He growled.
"It has to do with the digital world and our old team. A new evil has come and wants the new digidestend to give up everything to him or else our team will suffer. Our team is being captured one by one, or two by two. We think they are looking for you, so you have to get to T.K. and Kari's now. Go through the digi-port and come here. Now." Micah demanded.
Kannon ungripped the phone. "First, tell me how Kira and Nikko were taken."
"…Kira called me in a panic, apparently big explosions were occurring and she was left behind by her driver…who I want to kill at the moment, but that's for later. Anyways, Nikko, Kyle, and I split up. Nikko found her limo, but they were both taken by god knows who."
"Are they the only two who've been taken?"
"First it was Marc and Taya, then Kira and Nikko, and then Marisol and Kiyoshi. They show no mercy, Kannon. They kidnapped my sister from the hospital after she and Kiyoshi were involved in a car accident! How low can they get? My dad has told me that Marisol was in pain and very fragile…I know they've hurt her, I can feel it. Kannon, we don't want someone else to be gone. Everyone else from our team is here, except for the ones who've been captured. So you need to get here now."
Kannon rubbed his temples. "Alright, but my digivice is in my room, which is on the other side of the campus…and the campus is HUGE, So I won't be there for a while, but I'll get there as soon as I can."
"Alright, but hurry. We have a real bad feeling that they'll come after you next, Kannon."
"Well, that's comforting!" He hung up. As Kannon stepped outside the medical educational building, he began to try and run to his dorm room, but the ground began to shake violently, causing Kannon to fall on his face. "OW!" He sat up; realizing he may have broke his nose since it hurt to do anything with it. "WHY DOES LIFE HATE ME??"
"You have a big mouth, keeper of Loyalty."
Kannon went wide eyed and turned around, facing Flamedramon. "Oh…this is peachy…" He muttered sarcastically. "Look, dude…I'm in a hurry so I do not have time to be kidnapped at the moment, okay? Can we make an appointment to do this another day? I'm free next Monday at 3. How does that sound?" Kannon grinned.
"Annoying." Flamedramon answered, crossing his arms. "Keeper of Loyalty, I insist greatly that you come with me freely, for you are not only needed by my master, but you're friends and teammates need medical attention; also meaning your blind sister, Keeper of Trust."
Kannon clenched his fist. "What have you done to Kira and the others?"
"Nothing. They were injured trying to escape, but of course, we out smarted them and that led to them getting hurt. It's their fault, not ours." He smirked. "I really do insist you come, or else you'll be hurt, then you wont be able to help them; especially the keeper of Peace."
Kannon unclenched his fist. "Marisol?"
"Yes. She is on the verge of dying, along with the small human life form in her stomach."
Kannon thought about this. –I have to do this. I have to. If I'm hurt, I can't save Marisol's baby and herself. Including everyone else…including Kira. I'm sorry, guys.- He sighed. "Fine."
Ring, ring…
Kannon's eyes widened. He pulled out his cell phone and saw it was his dad's number. "Dad…"
"Answer it." Kannon looked confused to the controlled digimon. "We need them to know another one will be gone."
Kannon glared. "You're low!"
"I know. Answer it!" Flamedramon snapped.
Kannon answered. "Dad…"
"Kannon, what's going on? You should've been here by now!"
"…dad…I love you and tell mom and Dishi that too, okay?"
"Kannon, what's going on?" Ken got alarmed; Kannon heard it in his voice.
"Dad…I have to go, okay? Please don't be angry, but Marisol is in huge trouble. Apparently she's in a life or death situation." Kannon looked down. "I have to go help her, so I can't fight back. Flamedramon's here and ready to take me straight to the others. Marisol is going to die if I don't go, dad. So understand, please."
"…we'll get you out, son. I promise. You, Kira, and the others, I swear on my life! But I understand. Matt and Micah will be relieved to know you're going to help Marisol. I have faith you can save her and the baby. Just make sure Kira's safe and not harmed, alright?"
"Yes. Bye, dad." He hung up. He didn't want to hear anymore before he cried, but he refused to cry. Not now. He looked back up to Flamedramon. "I'm ready, but you have to take me straight to my friends and sister!"
Flamedramon growled. "I will take you where you shall go! Don't order me, human! First, you'll be taken to the keeper of Peace, who is in a panic, since we separated her from the keeper of Faith."
"You're heartless!"
"We've been told, you're no different. Now move!" A portal immediately opened and Flamedramon waited until Kannon stepped in, once he did, he went through as well. It disappeared.
In The Dark Area…In Haru's Hideout…
The Medical Wing…
Marisol laid on a metal bed, sleeping somewhat soundly, but pain shooting through her body every now and then. She finally fell asleep after panicking, since she was separated from Kiyoshi in a upsetting way.
:FLASHBACK:
Kiyoshi backed up to the stonewall behind him, trapped. They were going to take his wife away from him while he went somewhere else. Marisol held onto his police uniform he was still in from the day before as he tightened his grip on her. "What are you going to do to her?" He was cautious. Dobermon said he was going to have her taken to the medical wing so when the doctor-in-training arrives he'll look over her and hopefully save her.
Dobermon growled. "I'll make you a deal, keeper of faith. You can come with us to take her to the medical wing, but then you must go where we tell you."
"I have to leave her?" Kiyoshi asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yes." Dobermon confirmed. "She'll be in good hands when the keeper of loyalty arrives."
"Kannon." Kiyoshi muttered. He looked down to Marisol, who was in major pain. If Kannon was going to save her, then he would trust him with his wife. "Fine, but I want to take her there. To make sure she'll be okay."
Dobermon nodded. "Agreed. Follow me."
Once they arrived at the medical wing, it was only a small room, but many shelves full of medicines and books. Kiyoshi knew Kannon would be able to work with these materials. He saw a metal pan in the middle of the small room and knew that's where he had to put his wife. Dobermon nodded, confirming it. Kiyoshi gently laid his wife down on the metal bed and kissed her forehead. Now his heart broke from what happened next.
"Kiyoshi?" Marisol opened her eyes in a panic and looked around. She got scared as she gripped his hand. Kiyoshi let a tear fall. Marisol didn't like this. "Kiyoshi…"
Kiyoshi put his head down in shame. "Marisol, listen to me, baby." He looked up at her with guilt. "You have to stay here and wait for Kannon; he's going to help you, Marisol. So be strong for me." He explained.
"Where are you going?" She asked immediately.
"They want me to leave. I don't know exactly where I'm going, but as long as you're okay, I'm okay." Kiyoshi gave a weak smile as he stroked her cheek softly with his hand. Marisol was about to breakdown. "You need to be strong for the baby and me, Marisol. I love you…so much. Kannon will take care of you when he gets here, I know he will."
Marisol sobbed. "Kiyoshi, please don't leave me." She begged. "I can't be strong without you. I want you to be safe. I don't want you to get hurt!"
"Marc, Kira, Nikko, and Taya are out there as well, Marisol." Kiyoshi stated. "I won't be alone; your brother will be out there."
Marisol leaned against him. "What's going on?"
Kiyoshi stroked her hair. "Good question, but be happy, baby. You're the one who will be safe. I'm thankful that Haru is having mercy on you." He knew it wouldn't make her feel better, but he had to try.
Dobermon growled. "Let's go, keeper of faith." He demanded.
Marisol felt Kiyoshi's warmth leave her. "Kiyoshi!"
Kiyoshi turned back with tears, but Dobermon barked at him, so he had to go. "Marisol, be strong." Was all he said before the door was locked. Now she was alone in a dimly lit room. She got scared.
:END FLASHBACK:
Kannon was let in, but the door locked behind him. He saw Marisol on the uncomfortable table in pain and went to her in worry. "Marisol, what happened to you?" He practically yelled when he saw her condition. She was cold, since she was still in a hospital gown. Her lips were turning blue, her hand freezing, and she was pale. He was scared now. "Oh god." He looked around. He knew all his medical knowledge was about to be put to the test. He had been in medical school for seven years now, so he should know a lot. First he took his jacket off and covered Marisol with it, but it didn't do much. He
grabbed many things and tried to help her. –I pray to god that I'm not too late to save the baby as well.-
They had Kannon now. Seven are now gone. Who will be next?
--
Okay, I know that part with Marisol and Kiyoshi was mean and sad, but it's a chapter with more than 3000 words, so you'll live! I have half of chapter 17 done...I had all of it done a while ago, but I lost it...I lose a lot, don't I?
Ps…the reason why I chose 164 for Sakura and Kanaye's IQ is because…that's my IQ!! I'm smart in the books, but truthfully –as you can probably guess- I have absolutely no common sense!
Question of the Chapter: Obviously…who do you think will be captured in the next chapter? FROM MARC'S TEAM, not anyone else's. Just guess. I'll dedicate the chapter to you. There's only one person. It's not an obvious thing like Kannon's kind of was, so if you're not right, that's okay. It will get easier, I promise.
Please review, but please be nice.

Preview for chapter seventeen: Got Him Back, but Lost Him Again
--
"When I find those three, I'm going to hit them so hard, they'll see stars!"
"I'm glad to have you back, son. Ever since…that day…nothing has been the same. Nothing at all."
"Why do I have a horrible feeling every time I listen to you, Maro?"
"Kanaye! Sakura! Oh, man, I think I'm lost in…the dark ocean?"
--
"Chance?"
"Marisol?"
Kannon rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Uh...uh-oh. Kiyoshi's probably going to blow..."
