Digital World…
"Pyro Blaster!"
"Fire Blast!"
Two powerful fire balls aimed towards an Astamon, who just happened to be a worker of Noah and Haru.
Matthew sighed. "Hey! We're supposed to keep him in some good condition to question him!" He yelled to the digimon, causing damage to the opponent.
Ryo stood close to Matthew, with his arms cross over his chest and a serious look on his face. "This guy better tell us where SnowAgumon is." He growled, getting impatient. He's waited three weeks. That's long enough. Even though the gang has questioned six evil digimon already, none of them told them anything. It was getting cold in this war.
Taichi came up next to Ryo and put a hand on his shoulder. "No worries! We'll beat it out of them!"
Suddenly Astamon was thrown over their heads; DarkTyannomon and Growlmon running after him to attack him once more. Matthew shook his head. "If they don't kill him first, that is." Suddenly the ground shook for a second and smoke was around the fight. Matthew, Taichi, and Ryo winced as they saw the shape Astamon was in once the smoke went away. "Yikes."
Ryo looked to Matthew. "Try Shy and the others. See if they got anything."
"Maverick Kick!" Astamon jumped to do a strong kick towards Growlmon, who wasn't phased.
"Dragon Slash!" Growlmon clawed onto Astamon's body and threw him the opposite way. "That's what you get!"
Ryo and Matthew looked to Taichi. "You really had to teach him how to have an attitude?" Matthew asked.
Taichi looked at them with an obvious expression. "Well, of course!" Ryo and Matthew shrugged it off and went back to pay attention to the fight. "Wonder how Soldier, Shy-Shy, and Sunny are holding up."
"Knowing them, they're probably bored."
"Hmm…true."
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Hammer Crush!"
"AH!!!" Kanaye screamed as he dodged Groundamon's iron tail, that just so happened to have spikes on it. "Yo, leave me alone!"
Gargomon got in Groundamon's way of getting any closer to Kanaye, pointing his guns at the dragon digimon. "Pick on someone your own size!" He yelled. "Gargo Pellets!"
-
Sakura and Maro stood quite aways from Antylamon's fight with the huge teddy bear, Monzaemon. "Are you kidding me?" She asked herself. Antylamon will be done with him soon. "Go Antylamon!" She cheered on her digimon.
Antylamon narrowed her eyes at the large teddy bear. "We don't want to fight."
Sakura and Maro froze. "We don't?"
"No." Antylamon answered Sakura. She turned her attention back to Monzaemon. "We just want to ask a few questions regarding a digimon being held captive by MidEvilGallentmon."
Monzaemon stood still, but spoke. "You mean the digimon that serves a human on your team?"
Antylamon raised her eyebrow. "So you know about him. Where is he?"
Monzaemon snorted. "Oh yes. Like I'm really going to tell you? How stupid do you think I am?"
"Considering the fact that your head is just a bunch of cotton; I think you are very stupid." Antylamon pointed out in a calm manner, waiting patiently. "Tell us where SnowAgumon is or else I will resort to force."
Monzaemon chuckled. "Me first!" He started running towards Antylamon with confidence. "Teddy Punch!"
Antylamon rolled her eyes and dodged with ease, attacking as Monzaemon got confused. "Bunny Blades!" Two pink axes aimed into Monzaemon's back, spilling some stuffing.
Sakura got a disgusted face. "That's gross." Maro nodded in agreement.
"Deal with it, Sakura." Antylamon told her, picking Monzaemon up with on hand. "I'll ask you again. Where is SnowAgumon?"
Monzaemon growled. "I'll never tell you!"
Antylamon sighed and threw him into a bunch of large rocks. She ran towards him. "Bunny Blades!"
-
The sun began to set as the six digidestend met up by the nearest TV they had just from a few hours before. Matthew, Ryo, and Taichi we're standing by the TV already, hoping the others had better luck then they did. They ended up having to delete Astamon since he wasn't going to tell them anything. When Kanaye, Sakura, and Maro came up, shaking their heads in a gloomy way, Ryo groaned.
Sakura walked up to him. "We're sorry, Hazy."
Ryo breathed deeply. "Don't worry about it." He pointed his digivice at the TV. "Let's go home. I got homework." The others agreed. But suddenly someone came out of nowhere and jumped onto Taichi's head, making him scream. The others turned to see Taichi trying to shake something out of his extremely crazy hair. Ryo blinked. "Seriously, Romie?"
Matthew held Taichi still as Kanaye helped get whatever was in his hair out. A little white ball popped out and landed on the ground. He unrolled himself and looked to Ryo. "Wait! Listen!"
Ryo raised an eyebrow. "I'm right here. No needs to yell or tell me not leave."
Sakura smiled brightly. "Aw, it's so cute!"
The small white digimon dusted himself off and looked to Ryo. "I am Cupimon."
Ryo shrugged. "And?"
"I have the best news you're ever going to hear!" Cupimon suddenly got excited, jumping up and down.
Ryo looked to the other five, who shrugged. "Well, tell me."
"I may know where SnowAgumon is!" Cupimon exclaimed.
Ryo's eyes widened, as did everyone else's. "Really?!" He narrowed his eyes. "How do I know you're not lying?"
Cupimon put his hands on his hips. "What do you have to lose?"
Matthew sighed. "He's right."
Ryo gave a nod. "Okay. Tell us."

Once the Takashi teens walked through the doors to their home, they were greeted with their parents cooking dinner. "Mom? Dad?" Matthew called out as he heard noise in the kitchen.
"Kitchen!" They heard their mother call. They headed in and saw the table set. T.K. and Kari smiled to their children, who looked decent for once. "You're back a bit early. Any good news?" Kari asked hopeful.
Taichi leaned onto the island counter. "Well, we found out where SnowAgumon is."
"Not exactly." Matthew said. "We got a lead, but that's it. A digimon came up to us and told us where he "knew" SnowAgumon was." Matthew used his fingers as quotation marks when he said knew. "We're hoping it's true."
"Wash your hands, boys." T.K. told the twin boys.
Matthew and Taichi saw Kanaye and Sakura already at the table, already having washed their hands. "Goodie goods." Taichi mumbled as the two washed their hands.
Kari sat down after putting the soup they were having in the center of the table. "So who was the digimon?"
"He said his name was Cupidmon." Kanaye answered. "Know him?"
T.K. thought to himself as he sat down. "I don't know. Have we ever encountered a Cupidmon, Kari?"
Kari was thinking about that as well. "I'm not exactly sure, but the name does sound quite familiar."
"Romie, give that back!"
"No, get your own towel!"
"I had it first!"
The family turned just in time to see Matthew and Taichi playing tug of war with a hand towel. Kanaye shook his head. "The poor fabric never had a chance."
Kari and T.K. sighed. "Boys, sit down." Kari demanded.
Matthew smirked and let go of the towel, which caused Taichi to fall backwards and the wet towel landed onto T.K.'s head. Kanaye and Sakura put their hands over their mouths to stop themselves from laughing. Kari rubbed her temples as Matthew and Taichi began physically fighting. T.K. took the damp towel off his head, putting it on the sink and pulled his sons apart. "You two drive me crazy sometimes!" He exclaimed as he pulled them to their seats at the table.
Matthew and Taichi sighed as they sat down. "Sorry, dad."
"It's never a boring dinner here in the Takashi house, is it?" Kanaye asked, chuckling.
"Better believe it, son." T.K. agreed. "So did you guys finish your homework?" He asked in a stern voice, being the strict dad he was.
Kanaye and Sakura both nodded. "Yes, sir." They said at the same time, continuing eating.
Matthew smiled proudly. "Yes, I did, father." He said in a funny voice. He looked over to Taichi with a smirk. "Romie, have you finished your homework this weekend?"
Taichi glared at his twin brother. "I'm almost finished." He muttered out.
T.K. looked to Taichi. "How much do you have left?"
"Not much."
"Really now?" Matthew jumped in once again. "Let's see…I remember that I had Algebra, English, History, and Chemistry homework."
Taichi narrowed his eyes. "Who cares what you had?"
"I was just stating to our mother and father what homework I had…since we have the same classes." Matthew pointed out.
Taichi could just feel his father's eyes burning into him. "So how much have you done, Taichi?" T.K. asked.
Taichi looked to Kari. "Mom, these people are harassing me as I eat my dinner! I demand this to stop until dinner is over!" He said to his mother with a desperate face.
Kari nodded. "I actually agree perfectly with Taichi, T.K. Let him eat and then you can yell at him." She told him.
T.K. sighed and went back to eating. "You're too easy on these kids." He mumbled.
"And you're too hard on them." Kari countered with a teasing smile. T.K. smiled back to her with a wink.
The kids looked back and forth at each parent, confused. "Do we want to know?" Kanaye asked.
Taichi shook his head. "No."
"So Sakura, I spoke to Madam Viola today and she said she'll be excited to see you again next Tuesday." Kari told her daughter, who had been quiet through the whole dinner. "Just in time to start practicing your routine for the yearly recitial, right?" Kari asked.
"Sure." Sakura answered in a dull voice.
Kari looked concerned. "Sakura, is something wrong? Do you feel okay?" She put her hand to Sakura's forehead.
Sakura pushed Kari's hand away. "I'm fine, mom. Just tired."
"From what?" Taichi asked, with food in his mouth. "You haven't done anything in the past week." He said.
Sakura glared to Taichi. "Shut up, Taichi." She told him.
Taichi smirked to his little sister. "Make me!"
Sakura was getting frustrated and Kanaye could tell. "Romie, leave Shy alone!"
Taichi rolled his eyes as he swallowed. "I was just messing with her, Soldier! Gosh, you and Shy never to seem to have a sense of humor anymore ever since you guys got into that fight." He blurted out without thinking. Matthew's eyes widened when Taichi stated that last part. Sakura and Kanaye looked at Taichi with surprised looks. Taichi clapped his hand over his mouth. "Crap!" He mumbled into his hand.
Kanaye growled. "How did you know we got into a argument, Taichi?"
Kari blinked in a confused manner. "Who got into a fight?"
"Kari, I think our kids just said that Kanaye and Sakura got into an argument?" T.K. questioned. "Am I right?"
Matthew sighed. "Right on the dot, dad. Congrats."
Kari shook her head. "Whoa, whoa, I'm sorry, but it can't be true!"
Kanaye sighed. "Mom, Sakura and I are like any other siblings. We fight. It happens."
"You two have NEVER gotten angry at each other!" T.K. pointed out. "Never!"
Sakura shrugged. "Things change over years, dad."
"But Taichi never answered my question." Kanaye looked back to Taichi. "How did you know?"
Everyone looked to Taichi, who we all know, cannot lie. Matthew looked at him with pleading eyes to not tell, but Taichi couldn't take the pressure. "Okay, okay! I'll tell you!" Taichi yelled.
Matthew threw his hands up in the air. "Here we go."
"Scope and I thought you two were planning on doing something evil to us at the party a few weeks ago, so Scope searched your rooms while I was at band practice and you were at the doctors!" Taichi said in one breath.
Matthew had his face in his hands. "I hate you, Romie."
Kanaye and Sakura looked to Matthew with shocked faces. "Scope, you searched our rooms?!" Kanaye questioned. "What is this?! The twilight zone?!"
"So how did you know we got into a fight?" Sakura asked Matthew.
Matthew sighed in defeat. "You guys came home when I was still searching Kanaye's room. So I slid under Kanaye's bed. You guys came in and started talking, so-"
"Wait, wait, wait!" Kanaye held his hand up, indicating Matthew to shut up. "You listened to our conversation?! You heard everything?!"
Sakura gasped at her older brother. "Scope, how could you?" She asked.
"How could he?!" Taichi yelled. "How could you?!" He pointed to Sakura. "You're the one who started the fight!"
Sakura's eyes widened. "Taichi, don't you dare!"
T.K. stood up. "Okay, quiet! I want to know what the heck is going on in my house!" He looked to Taichi. "If it's nothing important, don't tell us. If it's something your mother and I should know about, I insist you tell us."
Sakura slammed her hands on the table, standing up. "Dad, this is my business!"
"Well, Sakura, I'm making it mine!" T.K. yelled back. "What is wrong with you these days? You're quiet at moments, but then mood swing, you lash out at us!"
Kari looked to T.K. "T.K., leave her alone!"
"Shouldn't you get angry with those two boneheads?!" Sakura yelled back, motioning to Matthew and Taichi. "They invaded our personal space!"
"I know, Sakura. I heard and they will be grounded after we talk." T.K. told her. "Now sit down and let's talk as a family about what is going on with you lately?"
Sakura looked to Kanaye and her mother. Kari took her hand. "Sit down, baby girl."
Kanaye nodded. "Please, Sakura."
Sakura took her hand away from her mother's and began backing up. "No, I don't want to be here!" She screamed as she ran out of the dining room.
T.K. and Kari looked to each other. Kari immediately went after her. "Boys, stay here and finish dinner." T.K. ordered as he followed the two girls of the household. T.K. caught the two in Sakura's room, with Sakura crying on her bed. "Would you mind telling us what the matter with you is?" He asked her in a strict tone.
Kari sat on Sakura's bed, brushing Sakura's blonde hair out of her face. "Sakura, talk to us. You can trust us."
"You wouldn't understand!"
"Well, I'm personally not understanding what is so dramatic about this situation." T.K. stated.
Sakura gave up and sat up next to her mother. "You're going to get mad. Especially you, dad."
T.K. sighed deeply, sitting down in Sakura's computer chair. "I'll try not to, baby girl."
"I want to quit ice-skating."
"What?!" Both T.K. and Kari shouted in shock.
Sakura nodded, looking at her feet. "Haru wont stop taunting me with threats about everything digimon related! I can't take it anymore! I can't trust him as my partner! In ice-skating, it's all about trust! I can't trust someone who's tried to kill me and my team over and over again! I'll fail that recital!"
T.K. shook his head. "Not going to happen, Sakura."
Sakura gasped. "What?! Mom!" She looked to her mom for help.
Kari felt horrible. "Sakura, you've been in this sport since you were four. You can't let what Haru is doing get to you after all your hard work." She said gently.
"Mom, if I don't get first or second place in that recital, I'm out of the league!" Sakura told her. "So what's the point?!"
"The point is that I am putting my foot down." T.K. said.
"Dad, are you even listening to me?!" Sakura screamed as she stood up. "You both aren't listening to me!"
"No, Sakura, you're not listening!" T.K. yelled back, losing his patience. "You're not quitting ice-skating and that's final!"
Kari was in shock. Was this really the same T.K.? "T.K.!"
"Don't argue with me, Kari!" T.K. told her in a serious, angry kind of voice.
Sakura sobbed, gaining her parents' attention. "Dad, I hate you!" Those words stung T.K., like it did when Aiden and Takeo told him when they were young. "I wish you weren't my dad!"
T.K. crossed his arms over his chest. "Oh really?!"
"I wish I had a dad who actually cared about me!"
T.K. shook his head and calmed himself down. "No, no, Sakura…I do care." He said in a gentle voice. He never would want his kid telling him that he didn't care about them. He loved them more than life itself.
"If you cared, you would let me quit!" Sakura told him.
T.K. sighed, suddenly gaining a headache. "Sakura, I'm sorry, but I'm not letting you give up your dream."
Sakura looked to her mother. Kari nodded. "I agree with your father, Sakura."
Sakura was in shock. "Unbelievable." She whispered.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
The Next Evening…
The boys crawled on their hands and knees as they continued their way to a underground tunnel Cupidmon told them about. "Why are we crawling again?" Maro whispered.
Matthew grunted as he hit his knee on a small stone, that was most likely going to leave a bruise. "You never know if there's traps or spies somewhere out there. At least this way we know we wont be seen."
"Dude, I cannot believe Sakura got grounded for a week!" Taichi chuckled quietly.
Kanaye was ready to beat Taichi into a bloody pulp. "Shut up if you know what's good for you, Taichi." He threatened.
"Or else what, Kanaye?" Taichi tested him.
"I'll tell dad that you punched me that day Sakura went missing in the digital world."
Taichi's eyes widened and he looked back to Kanaye. "You wouldn'!"
Kanaye smirked. "Oh I would."
Taichi growled. "Fine, you win."
"Guys, shut up and my every move." Matthew told the two arguing ones. Matthew got off his hands and knees, but was hunched down still. The others followed. They went down a steep hill and met with a small tunnel entrance. "This is it."
"Matthew." BlackAgumon came out of the hiding place he and the other digimon were in. "About time you showed!"
Matthew gave a smile. "Sorry. Ran late."
Lopmon walked up, looking around. "Where's my Sakura?"
Kanaye kneeled down to her level. "Let's put it this way: You wont see her for about a week."
Lopmon looked confused. "Is she alright?"
"Oh, she's fine." Kanaye cringed. "Just angry."
"Can we go already?" Ryo whispered impatiently. "We are so close to SnowAgumon! I can feel it!"
Matthew nodded. "He's right. Let's go."
0o0o0o0o0o0o
"I hate you, guys!" Taichi whispered loudly.
Lopmon growled. "Yes, Taichi, we heard you the first hundred times!"
"Cupidmon didn't tell us the tunnel was actually a sewer!" Taichi exclaimed.
"So hate him, not us." Matthew pointed out.
Suddenly a scream filled the sewers, loud and clear to the kids. Ryo's eyes widened. "SnowAgumon!" He began running towards it.
"Ryo, wait a second!" He yelled. Ryo stopped. "We have to move slowly! What if it's a trap?!"
Ryo turned to him. "I'm so close to SnowAgumon, Scope, I'm not losing him again." He began to turn to run again.
"Ryo, I gave you an order! Follow it!" Matthew demanded in a desperate tone. He didn't want anyone getting hurt.
Ryo couldn't turn to face Matthew. His leader. He promised himself a long time ago that he would never disobey Matthew's orders because he wanted to prove himself. He closed his eyes and clenched his fists. "Sorry, leader, but I can't this time." He stated, and then started running again.
Matthew was in shock. "Dude, what is going on with people lately?!" Taichi yelled. Another scream filled the tunnel walls and Matthew knew this was going to get ugly.
"Come on, guys, we got to catch up!" Matthew ordered.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Ryo kept running through the filthy waters of the sewers until it led him to a room with a large circle of water in the middle. He looked around. There was no way out, except for the way he came from. "SnowAgumon!"
"Hammer Crush!" Ryo looked and saw an iron tail heading towards him. He couldn't move in time.
"Ryo!" Ryo felt himself painfully being pushed out of the way and landing on the ground with a thud and someone on top of him. "Ow…"
Taichi got off of him. "You so owe me." He said painfully.
"Romie! Hazy! Are you guys okay?!" Maro asked from across the room.
Taichi blinked. "Dude, I didn't think we jumped that far."
The large green dragon digimon huffed and attacked again. "Hammer Crush!"
Ryo and Taichi caught that in time. "Move!" He and Taichi moved out of the way just in time.
Taichi looked to Guilmon. He took out his digivice. "Digivolve!"
Guilmon nodded. "Guilmon digivolve to…Growlmon!" Growlmon appeared and immediately attacked. "Dragon Slash!"
"BlackAgumon digivolve to…DarkTryannomon!"
"Terriermon digivolve to…Gargomon!"
DarkTryannomon growled as he noticed Groundamon was unharmed by Growlmon's attack. "Try this!" He got into an attack stance. "Fire Blast!"
Gargomon joined in. "Gargo Pellets!"
"This makes no sense!"
Matthew and Maro looked to Kanaye. "What make no sense?" Matthew asked over the loud voices of attacks.
Kanaye looked to his older brother. "I swear that Gargomon destroyed Groundamon yesterday!"
Maro shrugged, holding Koemon's egg close. "Maybe there's more than just one Groundamon?"
Kanaye sighed. "I sure hope so!" He shook it off and decided to ignore it. "Go Gargomon! Kick his butt!"
Taichi and Ryo ran back to the rest of the team. "Where's SnowAgumon?" Taichi asked Ryo.
"Good question. There's nowhere else to go, so I have no idea!" Ryo answered. "But he's still close. I can feel it."
"That's a good thing." Maro pointed out. Matthew agreed.
"Scrapless Claw!" One of the claws on Groundamon's back slashed DarkTryannomon's face, leaving bloody marks. "Scrapless Claw!" He attacked at DarkTryannomon once again and this time DarkTryannomon flew into the wall. Once DarkTryannomon recovered, he, Growlmon, and Gargomon attacked Groundamon all at once.
"Fire Blast!"
"Pyro Blaster!"
"Gargo Pellets!"
All attacks combined, Groundamon was deleted in front of their faces. Matthew noticed the broken wall and motioned for the others to follow. "There's something on the other side of that wall!"
The gang, plus their digimon, ran over to the broken wall, having the devolved dinosaurs help them over. Ryo let out a breath of relief. "SnowAgumon!" He ran over to the white as snow digimon, hugging him. When he released him, he smiled. "I missed you."
SnowAgumon, unharmed and all, smiled brightly back and hugged Ryo tight. "I knew you would come save me Ryo! I just knew it! No matter how many times Noah told me you wouldn't, I never gave up hope!"
Ryo nodded. "Glad you didn't, buddy!"
"GUYS!" Matthew, Taichi, Ryo, Kanaye, and the digimon got freaked when they heard Maro's scared voice. They turned and saw Maro, being grabbed by the back of his shirt with Cerbumon's teeth. "Put me down!" Maro struggled.
Noah appeared in the opening off the room that originally wasn't supposed to be there. "How did you find this place?!" He asked, shocked that the digidestend were there, since it was well hidden.
"Let's just say that our digimon are clumsy." Taichi stated.
Matthew clenched his fists and growled. "Don't hurt Maro."
"Hey, what are you doing with Haru's digimon partner?!" Kanaye asked suddenly.
"Let's just say Haru had some business to take care of." Noah stated. "Hand SnowAgumon back over if you don't want your little cousin here, hurt."
Matthew growled. "How dare you threaten his life!"
"You'll get over it! Now hand the digimon over!" Noah snapped.
Suddenly a bright light appeared, blinding everyone. It was coming from the egg that rolled to the side a bit when Maro dropped it. Maro sensed his digimon partner. Something he hadn't felt since the day Koemon died. "Koemon's back!" He shouted with joy, even through the blindness. After the light finally disappeared, Maro was the first one to see his best friend standing to the side, angry expression. "Koemon!" Maro called as he dangled from Cerbumon's mouth.
"You better put Maro down right this second." Koemon stated in a dead serious voice.
Noah smirked. "Or what?"
Koemon made a monkey sound as he ran towards the group. "Banana Slip!" He grabbed his slingshot and shot a banana peel, hitting Noah's face. "Banana Slip!" Another one hitting behind Cerbumon's front foot. "Banana Slip!" The last banana hit Cerbumon's face, causing him to step back one, stepping onto the banana peel, slipping to the ground and he then released Maro.
Maro recovered quickly and ran to Koemon's side, giving him a big hug, almost crying. "I missed you!"
Noah held his nose from when the banana peel hit his face…hard. He growled at the happy group. "You'll pay for this!"
Ryo smirked. "We'll see about that, Noah."
Noah chuckled evilly. "Oh, trust me, we will." He climbed onto Cerbumon's back and they took off.
Matthew sighed deeply. "Let's get home. Ice cream at my house." He smiled.
"Cool!" Maro exclaimed. "Koemon comes back and ice cream in one day?! Awesome!"
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
The Takashi House…
Matthew and the team entered the big house loudly, messing around like boys usually do. "Mom! Dad! Sakura! Best news ever!" Taichi yelled out.
No reply. They suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Mom! Dad!" Matthew called. "Sakura, are you home?!"
"We saw grandma and grandpa's cars outside, didn't we?" Maro asked.
Ryo nodded. "They were there."
"And Sakura's shoes and backpack are by the front door." Matthew pointed out. "They're home…"
They walked into the kitchen, nothing. Maro ran to the backyard, but no one was in sight. Taichi went upstairs to check every room, but nothing. "Scope, no one is home!" Maro told him when they all met up back in the kitchen.
Matthew got confused. "But the garage is open, the doors are unlocked, the windows are open, and mom and dad's stuff are by the front door!" Matthew explained. "Something weird is going on. Search the house for any clues. I'll take mom and dad's room. Kanaye, you take the bedrooms and bathrooms. Maro, the backyard. Taichi, check the whole kitchen. And Ryo, take call the closets. Go!" They all went their separate ways.
Matthew ran upstairs with Kanaye and went into his parents' room. "Mom? Dad?" He called. He searched the room and their bathroom, but no clues to what was going on. "Hmm…this is way too weird." He said to himself as he went to open the closet door. Once he opened it, he yelped when he saw his parents tied up, back to back, with rags over their mouths. They looked tired and distraught. He could tell his mother had been crying. "Oh my god! Taichi! Kanaye!" He yelled loudly for them as he tried to get the rag off his mother's mouth first. Taichi, Kanaye, Maro, and Ryo ran in just as Matthew took off his mother's rag.
"Where's Sakura?!" Kari screamed suddenly.
The boys got wide eyes. "She was supposed to be home with you! You grounded her!" Kanaye told them as Matthew took his father's rag off.
T.K. coughed. "That wasn't us!"
"What?!"
"Some digimon came in and made us fall asleep! He said something about never seeing Sakura again!" Kari exclaimed.
"Whoa, whoa!" Taichi gasped. "When did all this happen?!"
"Yesterday before you guys came home!" T.K. answered.
Kanaye's heart skipped a beat. "Oh my god!" He ran to his sister's room and saw a note on top of her pink laptop on her desk. Matthew, Taichi, and Ryo came in after him. Kanaye began reading the note.
"What does it say, Kanaye?!" Matthew asked. "Where's Sakura?!"
Kanaye let a tear fall. "They got her."
"Who?!" Ryo yelled as T.K., Kari, and Maro came in.
Kanaye let a few more tears fall. "The Dark Ocean."

PREVIEW of Chapter 30: Hold On
"Start the transfer machine. The keeper of innocence's powers will no longer belong to her."
-
"Ow…why did you have to kick me there?!"
"Because I am not turning into a dummy!"
-
"T.K., we have a huge problem!"
"Tai, what's more of a problem than my daughter missing?!"
"All the digimon are in the real world!"
"…okay, that's a problem."
