--Chapter Seventeen -- Got Him Back, But Lost Him Again --

Kanaye, Sakura, Maro, and thier digimon...

Kanaye, Sakura, and Maro walked into the forest of the Dark Ocean, very lost and cold. They were smart enough to being sweaters. Kanaye wore a blue zip-up sweatshirt, which was a little baggy on him. It made his blue eyes stick out. Sakura had on a brown thin zip-up sweater, which fit her perfectly. It fit her hair and eyes perfectly as well. Maro had on an orange baggy over the head sweater. The color made Maro's bright blonde hair brighter and his green eyes were darker. They all wore jeans, the boys' were baggy and Sakura's had a perfect fit on her. Kanaye's hair was spiked up from gel. Sakura's blonde hair was all down, the wind blowing in her hair. Maro's hair was messy, like he just woke up. All had sneakers. Terriermon, Lopmon, and Koemon were there with them, to protect them.

Sakura shivered, not from the cold. "Soldier." She clung to her brother's side. She was scared of this place, it gave her the worse feeling she's ever felt. "We should go back."

Maro shook his head as he walked ahead of the two. "No, Shy-shy. I need to get my mom."

Sakura sighed. "Sorry, Maro. I didn't mean to be selfish…it's just this place gives me a creepy feeling." She told him, looking over her shoulder.

Kanaye faked a smile to his "little" sister. "Don't worry, Shy, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you."

Sakura took a deep breath and tried to relax. "Okay, I'll try to stay calm."

Lopmon came up next to her. "Sakura, I'll protect you as well, so there's absolutely no reason for you to be the least bit afraid."

Maro looked over his shoulder to her. "Me too, Shy-shy."

Terriermon climbed to Kanaye's head, his feet keeping steady on his shoulders. "Where are we going, Kanaye?" He asked in an exhausted tone.

Kanaye sighed. "We're heading towards the hideout Haru is at because that's where he took Shy last time. He would most likely take Marc's team there."

"HAHAHAHA!" They heard an evil female voice from a distance.

Sakura knew that laugh. "Witchmon!" She whispered.

"That means Wizardmon is with her." Kanaye groaned.

Maro smirked. "Then we'll just have to fight them!"

"Why do I have a horrible feeling every time I listen to you, Maro?" Kanaye asked.

"BROOM SHOOTER!"

"NEVERMIND! SPLIT!"

They had no other choice but to split up. It was something the three really didn't want to do, but they had to…to stay alive. Lopmon took Sakura's hand a led her away after Witchmon's attack covered the whole place with smoke. Kanaye ran away from the scene, with Terriermon on his head. Maro grabbed Koemon and ran away as quick as he could.

The Izumi Family

Mimi was sobbing and crying loudly while squeezing the life out of her "oldest" son. "I just got you back!" She stated for the millionth time in the past five minutes. Chance's heart broke. He really wished his mother wasn't so emotional because it made this harder on him. Yes, he was back with his parents, but he needed to help get everyone out of the digital world…especially Marisol. After hearing what happened with Marisol, he was now detirmended to bring her back, safe. He knew that there was absolutely no way they could ever be together, but he was still going to protect her. She was pregnant. She needed to be home…with her husband, her father, and brothers. "I know you want to save Marisol and the others, but why now? I just got you back! I can't let you go!"

Chance groaned. "Mom, please. I have to go. This involves me in so many ways."

"What if you get hurt? I don't want to lose you again! I can't handle that!" Mimi continued to scream.

Kimberly, Kyle, May, and Daniel were looking on. May and Daniel thought their mom was embarrassing at the moment. Kyle was smirking, amused, but glad to have his "big" brother back. Kimberly was teary eyed. She already did her crying and stuff. She also was smirking. Hey, they were still siblings.

Izzy walked up behind Mimi and pulled her off of him, letting Chance breathe. "Mimi, he'll be back." He said softly. He sat Mimi down next to Kyle and Kimberly, who she now was screaming over and suffocating. (She'll never change…) Izzy pulled his son aside and put a hand on his shoulder. "Chance…I'm so glad you're here…you're back. You have no idea. What you're mom is showing…that's what I'm feeling on the inside." He chuckled. "I'm glad to have you back, son. Ever since…that day…nothing has been the same. Nothing at all."

Chance smiled. "Thanks, dad. I'm…sorry."

Izzy frowned. "For what?"

"That I left…"

"Chance, you had no choice-"

"No, not that!" He snapped, but calmed down. Izzy shut up, knowing his son needed to get this out. "Not dying…not coming home because I was being held captive…because I obviously couldn't be able to. I'm sorry for…betraying you." He whispered, hanging his head down in shame. "I know how much I disappointed you, dad." His voice cracked. "I wish I could take it all back!" He yelled, catching Mimi and his siblings' attention. "I wish I could've still ran track every spring! I wish I could still drive Kimberly crazy and teach Kyle how to get into her diary!"

Kimberly's mouth dropped. "Wait, what?" But it was ignored.

"I wish I could've been there when mom gave birth to May! I wish I could've met her! I wish I didn't "die" and not been able to meet Daniel! I wish I graduated with everyone! I wish I didn't become enemies with my team! I wish I was able to be with Marisol, married her, and be with her forever!" Chance cried out. "I…want to take it all back." He whispered.

Izzy had tears in his eyes, but didn't let them fall. "Oh…Chance." He pulled his son in a tight embrace and held him up, since Chance was about to fall. "I love you! You're family loves you! Even May and Daniel…even though they don't know who the heck you are…but it's the thought that counts!" He smiled. "But we still love you and always have. Son, I forgave you the moment you gave your life for your team, the digital world, and our world. As far as I'm concerned…you're my hero."

The room stayed in silence for a few minutes. May sighed, a little bored. "This is lamely awkward."

Kimberly glared at her little sister. "Great way to ruin the moment, brat!"

May growled. "Quit calling me brat, you pig!"

"Shut up, big mouth!"

"You shut up, queen of boring!"

"God, you're annoying!"

"And you're not?!"

(A/n: And that argument happened between my hobo sister and I.)

Chance laughed. "Maybe it's not all that bad I've missed that."

Kyle glared at his "older" brother. "Hello? Feel sorry for me! I have dealt with these two psychopaths for a long, long time!"

Daniel was laughing his butt off at the moment. Suddenly he stopped and got off the bed, making the sisters shut up finally, Kyle to raise his eyebrow, Mimi to wonder what he was doing, and Izzy to blink in confusion. But the one who was surprised was Chance. Daniel grinned in front of Chance and held out his hand to shake. "Nice to meet you, Chance! My names Daniel and apparently I'm your little brother!" He laughed. "But please don't give me weggies like May, Kyle, and Kimberly have!" He begged.

Chance was beyond surprised. He gave a smile and shook his little brother's hand. "Nice to meet you too. I'm Chance and I'm glad to meet you finally. And don't worry…I wont give you weggies." Daniel sighed in relief. "…well, not yet at least." Daniel fell over at his brother's comment.

Mimi squealed suddenly, making everyone in the room flinch. "THIS IS SO CUTE! WHERE'S MY PHONE! I WANT A PICTURE!"

Chance sighed. "Man, forget death, I might as well be deaf!"

Everyone In Real World

Taichi, Matthew, Chance, and Ryo were getting suited up to go to the Digital World. Taichi came out wearing a green hoodie that was a good fit on him and a pair of faded blue jeans. His hair was crazy, as usual. Matthew had on a white long sleeve shirt, with a red vest over it, with some khaki pants. His hair was neatly combed up, kind of like Kanaye's spiked hair. Ryo put on a black t-shirt with a grey jean jacket over and some black jeans. His hair was still a buzz cut. Chance borrowed some of Tachi's clothes. He had on a black hoodie, a little baggy on him, and some blue jeans that fit good. His black hair was tied up in a pony tail. (His hair got long while being held captive, but he still got to cut it. Right now, his hair is shoulder length.) All of them were wearing sneakers.

They walked out of the room and met the others who were also going to the digital world. Taichi cracked his neck (Ew…) and smirked. "When I find those three, I'm going to hit them so hard, they'll see stars!"

Matthew rolled his eyes. "Please, you're too much of a wimp to even try to hurt them."

Taichi made a fist at Matthew. "Watch it! You're ticking me off again!"

Matthew shrugged. "Think I care?"

"Enough!" Takeo yelled. "You two are fighting like idiots! Whatever you're mad at each other about, let it go. It's most likely nothing important." He told them.

Matthew glared. "You would think so, since it's about you."

Takeo blinked. "What?"

Matthew shook his head. "Nothing. It's not important." He mocked. Takeo frowned. Taichi stayed out of it, thinking if he told Takeo why he and his twin were arguing about him would upset him.

Ryo raised an eyebrow. "And I thought my family had issues." He muttered, next to Chance, who chuckled.

Davis pouted. "I still don't understand why we have to stay behind."

Aiden sighed. "Sorry, guys, but this is our fight. Mostly Maro's team's fight, but it's also my team's battle too…they messed with our team so it includes us. But we wont stay and fight, only if nesscary. The only reason why we're going is to make sure Taya and the others get out safe. We'll get out of Maro and the others way when we're all out."

Sora hugged her blushing son. Ryo was not a big fan of being a mommy's boy. "But do you have to leave them alone? They're so young. I want them to come home safe."

"Sorry, aunt Sora." Micah said. "But it's not our fight. We had our battles…we all have. I was seven when I became a digidestend and had my first huge battle. Um, I think these guys are old enough. Besides, they know what they're doing."

Yolei hugged Micah. "Please bring Kira and Kannon home." She begged, teary eyed.

Micah hugged back. "I will. I swear on my life. Kannon and the woman I love more than life will come home. Safe and unharmed." Matt smiled. He was proud of his son. Both of them.

Ryo sighed. –Cant we all just suck it up and go?! We could've rescued everyone, destroyed the evil, and came home already! Can't everyone just SHUT UP??- But Ryo didn't show any emotion on the outside.

(Ooh…I should give Ryo a Inner Ryo, huh?)

Seperated...

...Aiden, Dishi, Micah, and Kyle...

Here they were…but separated! Aiden slapped his forehead. "THIS ISN'T WHAT I HAD IN MIND!" He yelled, next to Dishi, Micah, and Kyle.

Kyle scoffed. "You should know by now…nothing goes right!"

Esamee, Bridget, and Kimberly...

A piercing scream shook the trees, made birds flee from their nests, and everything around to scurry in fear. Kimberly winced at the ringing in her ears. "Are you sure you and I weren't switched somewhere in our toddler years, because I swear you're related to my mom!" She snapped at her best friend.

Esamee whined. "Kimberly! I don't want to be out here alone!"

Bridget sighed. "God, Esamee, just shut up."

"Bite me!"

Takeo, Willis, and Ryo...

Takeo groaned. "Man, why do I still listen to Aiden?" He sighed out, sitting on a rock.

Willis Jr shrugged, searching around by the waterfall they were next to for anyone. "How am I supposed to know? That's between you two." Ryo sat on another rock, looking bored, but he was hoping Sakura and the others were alright.

Sakura and Lopmon

"Thunder Blaster!" Sakura jumped out of the way of the attack, screaming. Once she landed, she ran, Lopmon right in front of her.

"Hurry, Sakura!" Lopmon yelled. Sakura didn't answer, just followed. Lopmon and Sakura found a large tree and hid on the other side of it, making sure there was no chances of Wizardmon find her. Once Wizardmon passed, they let out a huge sigh in relief. "That was close." Lopmon pointed out.

Sakura nodded. "Yeah, we need to be more careful." She looked around. "Now what? We lost my brother and cousin!" Sakura panicked.

Lopmon sighed. "Sakura, calm yourself. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you."

"Oh, but you can't protect her from us."

Sakura's eyes widened. She quickly turned around and saw two men and her cousin behind her. She laughed nervously. "You know, Takeo and Willis…we will laugh about this one day."

Ryo scoffed. "Sorry, Shy, but they're pissed." He motioned to the men.

Takeo narrowed his eyes at his little niece. "Sakura Takashi, why did you, Kanaye, and Maro run off like that? Did you really think the three of you and your digimon could take on all those evil digimon?!" He snapped.

Sakura held herself to stop herself from wanting to cry. Willis Jr felt bad for the small girl and hugged her. "Aw, little Sakura, don't worry. We're not angry with you. We were just worried about the three of you." He told her. Sakura let her tears fall.

Takeo sighed, letting his anger out. Willis Jr was right. Takeo smiled. "Sakura, are you alright?" She nodded. "We saw how you and Lopmon escaped that Wizardmon. I have to say that I'm extremely proud."

Sakura beamed. "Really?"

Takeo nodded and wiped her tears away. "There. Back to your pretty self."

Willis Jr looked forward, where the lair was. "Now let's go. I know Aiden and the others will find Kanaye and Maro. We'll meet them there."

Ryo nodded. "Let's rescue the others, destroy the evil, and make sure they don't hurt anyone else."

They began walking, but no one saw Sakura's smirk. –Works every time.-

(HAHA, sneaky little actress our little Sakura is, huh?)

Marisol and Kannon

Kannon cautiously let the twenty-six year old walk on her own, who was wearing clothes now instead of that hospital gown. Marisol was okay with the clothes, but stated that she was going burn them after they got out of here and back home. They handed her a pair of light blue jeans -that fit her perfectly-, two tank tops to go over each other –one light blue and one navy blue-, with some sneakers. "Thank god, they have good taste." Marisol sighed in relief.

Kannon stood next to her, ready to catch her, just in case she lost her balance. "Mari, are you positive you can walk okay?" He asked worriedly.

Marisol smiled. "Yes, Kannon! Look at me! I've never felt better…especially after all that pain. You saved my baby and for that…I don't know how to repay you! All I do know is you are the most brilliant doctor in the whole universe!" She told him truthfully. "Kannon, none of the doctors at the hospital could save my baby girl, but you did. I'm proud." She hugged him. "Thank you so much. I don't know what I would've done if I lost her."

Kannon was speechless as he hugged her back. What could he say? He was the only one, amazingly, who saved her life. He barely knew what he was doing though, but he took bits of his knowledge that he knew from his classes and professors, putting everything together. He was just so relieved he saved Marisol and her baby. Now he knew that being a doctor was his calling.

After a few minutes of holding an emotional Marisol, Kannon found the right words. "No…thank you for fighting. Fighting to make it and make sure your little girl inside you would see life. It made my job a little easier." He chuckled.

Marisol released the hug and playfully slapped him on the arm. "Whatever!"

Suddenly the door to the small medical room slammed open, revealing Ken's Wormmon and a few Kiwimon behind him. Wormmon stepped forward while Kannon stood in front of Marisol. "You're being transferred. Come with me." Kannon nodded as Marisol clung to his arm. "Good." They walked down dark halls, only lit my a few candles here and there. Kannon was really glad Marisol was walking perfectly fine now. She really did do well. Once they stopped in front of another fairly large sized cell, Wormmon opened the door, Kannon and Marisol went in quietly. "We'll return soon. Don't get comfortable." With that, he left with the Kiwimon.

Marisol released Kannon's arm. "Why is this happening?"

"It's another war."

Kannon and Marisol jumped at the new voice. Someone stepped out of the shadows. Marisol and Kannon's eyes widened dangerously. Kannon rubbed his eyes. "No way!"

"Yes, way." Chance gulped.

Marisol got teary eyed. "Chance?"

Chance's eyes widened. He knew her, right? Was she…she was! "Marisol?"

Kannon rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Uh…uh-oh. Kiyoshi's probably going to blow…"

Chance easily recovered. "Marisol, it's been a while."

Marisol shook her head in disbelief. "No! No! This isn't real! What are they doing?" She looked to Kannon. "He's not real! Chance is gone! He's been gone for thirteen years!" She kept yelling. Kannon needed to calm her down quickly. "Someone tell me what's going on!"

Kannon grabbed her shoulders. "Marisol, take deep breaths! Now!" She began to do what he told her. "You need to calm down. It's really not good for you or the baby, especially after what's happened today." He told her.

Marisol nodded. "But…" She looked back to Chance, who was still there. "How are you alive?" She asked him quietly.

Chance explained the whole thing that he had already told everyone else. The two listened carefully. Chance didn't want to be as friendly…he was quite angry with Marisol, yet he wasn't as well. He was happy she wasn't depressed about him after all this time…but she was pregnant with another man's child…it killed him inside. If GranDracmon hadn't done what he did…that baby would be his.

Kannon blinked. "Whoa…I never would've guessed you were around still." He smiled. "It's good to know though. Good to have you back, Chance."

Marisol had also recovered finally and smiled as well. "Also, Taya and Aiden got married. They have a son. His name is Maro Chance-Jomei." She told him.

Chance blinked. "Really?" Then he froze. "Wait! Why would they name their son after Maro and Jomei?" He shook his head. "I…I didn't see them at T.K. and Kari's, but…" He looked to her for answers.

Marisol sighed deeply as Kannon turned away; he couldn't listen to this again. "A week after you "died", Maro was hit by a car. He died." She closed her eyes, trying not to cry. "A month later, Jomei went into this depression state and killed himself. He devastated everyone…especially Esamee. Dishi also tried to kill himself as well, since ToyAgumon was deleted and you died, but Joe saved him." She looked to Kannon. "Kannon's the one who found him." Chance looked to Kannon. This was a lot to take in. His two teammates have been dead for thirteen years…he didn't even know it. Nobody told him at the Takashi's.

Kannon nodded, his back still facing them. "It's true. I found him. Empty pill bottle as well. I called 9-1-1. Another reason why he did it was because after he found out about Kira…" He said in a depressed tone.

Chance nodded. "Yes, I've heard about Kira."

"Chance, a lot happened after you died. You have no idea. We went downhill. Taya got pregnant, Dishi and his suicide attempt, Kira's disease that caused her to go blind, Maro and Jomei died, Tai and Sora got a divorce, and Bridget was raped…there's so much more, Chance. Too much more." Kannon smiled. "See how much you were a part of our team…our family? Your "death" affected everyone. Nothing was ever the same. So don't think we forgot about you."

Chance ran a hand through his hair. "So much…I can't believe I was really all that special."

"Well, you were." Marisol told him. "I still have a picture of you on my wall in my house…right next to Maro and Jomei's. I have a special spot for the three of you." Kannon smiled at this, but got nervous. What's going to happen? Marisol might still love him…even though she's older than him. Chance most likely still has feelings for her.

Chance stared at Marisol for a few minutes. "Who's your husband?" He motioned to the diamond ring on her ring finger.

"Kiyoshi Tsukiyomi. He joined our team when we were fourteen. He saved my life many times." She told him.

"How long have you been married?" Chance asked, even though he felt like he was being stabbed by a million knives. This was the girl he loved…but she's married and having a baby now. How do you think it hurt?

Marisol smiled happily. "6 years now. We're just now having a baby because of a threat Kiyoshi's evil sister's henchmen digimon made twelve years ago. They said that the ones already born were going to become digidestend, but doomed to be destroyed. That's why the rest of us waited a while to have kids. Dishi and Esamee were the first to have a child." She explained.

Chance made an 'o' with his mouth. "That makes…somewhat sense." He groaned. "Well…congratulations, I guess."

Marisol frowned a little. It hurt, but she couldn't still love him. What they had back when she was younger…it wasn't love. Not at all. It was just a childhood crush. Now what she has with Kiyoshi is different. It's pure love. She wasn't going to press the subject or dwell on what could've been. This is now and she wasn't going to change anything.

The door opened, only gently this time. It was still Wormmon. Chance, Kannon, and Marisol were keeping their ground and not going to show fear. "Be aware now. Come with me. I'm taking you three to my master." He told them.

Kannon, Marisol, and Chance looked to each other, nervously. Marisol took a deep breath. "Kiyoshi, Marc, and Taya are there."

Kannon nodded. "So are Kira and Nikko."

Chance sighed. "Lets go." So the three followed willingly. To be reunited with their somewhat loved ones.

Maro...

Maro walked along the beach of the Dark Ocean, holding himself and a large egg in his arms, scared.

FLASHBACK

"Kanaye! Sakura! Aw, man! I think I'm lost in the dark ocean!"

"Just keep running, Maro!"

Maro and Koemon were running away violently from the pissed off Witchmon. Koemon kept encouraging Maro to keep running. There was no stopping or looking back. If that happened, something would happen. Koemon promised himself he wouldn't let anything happen to them…

…he didn't keep that promise.

"Broom Shooter!"

The attack hit behind Maro, making him fling forward. Koemon stopped. Seeing his partner in trouble made him digivolved. He did. Hookmon attacked Witchmon straight on. Maro looked on, scared. For once in his life…he was terrified. Not of a scary movie or the dark…he was scared of losing his partner. He was scared, but this time he couldn't crawl into his parents' bed, cuddling up to his mother. Not this time.

"Captain Cannon!"

"Broom Shooter!"

A big explosion occurred, making Maro fly back into a tree, falling unconscious. When he awoke, Hookmon and Witchmon were gone. But something was there in front of him. An egg…with a hook drawing on it.

"Koemon! No!"

END FLASHBACK

Still clutching the egg tightly to his chest, never going to let it go. He was now scared. He was alone. –I…I want my mom.- He fell to his knees, crying loudly, still holding the egg close. "Mom! Dad! Please! Come and take me home! I want to go home!" He screamed, breathing heavily.

The next thing Maro felt was being grabbed and held like a child in a pair of strong, protective arms, close to someone's chest. He smelled his dad's cologne and knew it was him without even looking. He sobbed on his dad's shoulder loudly, holding the egg in one arm, then his other arm holding on to his dad. "Maro." His dad whispered, clutching his only son close, holding him like he was four years old again. He saw the egg in his son's hand and frowned, tears ready to fall. "I'm so sorry." Aiden heard T.K.'s story about losing Patamon, but the digimon turned into a digi-egg. Now his son is experiencing the same torture his father did. He knew nothing he could say to Maro would help him feel any better, so he just stayed silent, letting Maro let it out.

Taya's Mind

Taya's heart felt a tudge. Something was emotionally wrong with her baby boy. She closed her eyes. She wasn't there to hold him, but she prayed to the gods that Aiden was. –Someone please bring our family together.-

Okay, who got very sad and depressed from Maro's scene? Man that was one of the saddest things I've ever written. Definitely top 5. Anyways, what did you think? Why don't you tell me in a review by pressing that little button down there next to "Submit Review", okay? Because this time, I won't update till I receive 10 reviews. Sorry, but I like reviews! Haha.

Ps…Koemon wont be dead for long…trust me.

Question for the Chapter: There will be five people next to get captured…who do you think? Remember the list from chapter 16…if you don't then I insist you go back to it. Remember, if you guess right, which is okay if you don't, understandable, you'll get chapter 18 dedicated to you. Okay?

Question 2: Do you think I should give Ryo an "Inner Ryo" just for fun? It would be funny!

Question 3: Do you think May and Daniel should be digidestend? If so, I would do that after this big battle, that I've already written (just the scene). Give me your answer and some suggestions on what "Keeper Of" they should be and digimon partners, okay?

Review!
