Yuki, with Kiyoshi by his side, kept walking but no one seemed to be around. And the brown haired boy opened his backpack to see what he could find that helped.

When he pulled out a whistle, he smiled a little.

Kiyoshi came closer to him to see "What is that?"

"A whistle. I had one when I was little… I guess my mom put it with my stuff when I was not looking"

"I see" he smiled "Do you think It'll help?"

"Maybe" he looked into his friend's eyes thinking while holding strongly the whistle.

.

"Do you think we'll find the others?" A worried look appeared in Kosuke's eyes.

"Don't worry, we will. We have to keep walking, I'm sure someone will appear" Yuuta answered to the boy

Haruko only looked around observing the darkness. How that came to happen? If only a digimon appear to tell them what happened.

.

Nobu and Tadashi decided to move from the shore of the ocean, and soon they ran into Aoi and Kiyomi who were near there. And the four of them began walking again hoping to find anyone else.

.

Hana took her flashlight in her mouth and looked up at a tree. She wasn't the best at climbing, but she had to try. Once she was in a high branch that could support her weight, she took the lantern in her hand, pointed toward the sky and began to move it and turn it off and on again. She did any movement to make a sign of her position.

Soon she heard a screaming. "Who is it". A boy appeared running below her, and as soon he looked at the bag in the floor, he screamed her name.

"Who's there?!"

"Hana-chan?! Where are you?!" Hiroki was desperately looking around the tree looking for his friend and couldn't find her.

"Up here!" he looked up and she was still making signs. "I-I have to keep making signs, Hiroki, I'll stay up here for now"

He looked at her his mouth half open and his brown eyes wide open. "Is that girl not scared?" he thought. Hiroki began to scream again for anyone who was near and Hana looked down smiling at him.

.

.

After walking a little more, Yuki and Kiyoshi stopped.

"I hope this work" Yuki said. He took a very deep breath and blew the whistle with all he had.

That whistle made echo everywhere. Haruko, Yuuta and Kosuke ran to them in a blink, apparently they were closer than they thought.

"I still haven't found my brother…" Haruko said with a worried face

Yuki shrugged "Neither my cousin" said to her trying to comfort her.

.

.

Kiyomi, Nobu, Aoi and Tadashi were walking when the latter saw a light in a short distance. And while more they walked toward that light, more they could hear a screaming from there.

"Hiroki?!" Aoi said loudly recognizing the voice

"Who's there?"

"It's me, Aoi!" They all ran to that place near a big tree, and there he was, the younger boy making waves at the group.

"Hana! Nobu, Tadashi, Aoi and Kiyomi are here! Come down!" he said looking up and she gave a loudly sigh while putting down her tired arm she had the flashlight.

"Okay… Uhm…" when she looked down, she realized it was gonna be harder to climb down than up.

"This is a nightmare" she said to herself putting the hand she was grabbing on the tree in her face without noticing. She lost balance and fell from the tree.

"HANA!" Aoi screamed, and the girls had a terrified face while the girl in the mid air shut her eyes putting her hands in fists near her face. When all of a sudden, Hana felt something warm.

"Got'cha" a male voice said and she opened her eyes to see. It was Yuki, the older boy look at her smiling and she hugged him.

"Are you okay?" he asked putting her down

"Yes, thank you very much"

"We saw your flashlight at the last minute and came running"

They all looked around without knowing what to do now that they were all together.

"Isn't here a single digimon?" Hiroki said in a low voice

"No idea… maybe they're hidden" Aoi said when he heard the boy

"Our cell don't have signal"

Not even two minutes passed that Nobu said that, a small voice was heard and pair of eyes were looking at them from a bush in the dark.

"W-what is that?!" Kiyomi said with wide eyes holding Aoi's arm

"I don't know" he said back "Who is there? Show yourself!"

The pair of eyes blinked and looked at Hiroki. "Hiroki?"

"E-eh?!" the boy stepped back a little "W-what? You know who I am?"

"Hiroki…" the small voice said with its eyes gleaming

Hiroki rose an eyebrow "Wait… that voice, seems familiar"

As soon as he said that, his digivice began to glow in his pocket, leaving everyone amazed looking at the sight in front of them

"What is happening?"

"Don't worry, Haruko" Hiroki took a look at the bush with eyes that was still there and the device stopped glowing. "Can you come here?"

"Wai- what are you doing?!" said Nobu in a whisper

He turned to his friends "Trust me… now, come here" He saw that it won't move, so he walked to it.

When he came near the bush, there was something very familiar there. "Koromon". He whispered his name and the little pink digimon nodded at him but he was very hurt.

"What happened?" Hiroki said to him with a trembling voice looking at the injuries in all of his body. There were scratches all over, and looked like a serious cut in his ear.

"The digiworld is in trouble" He said looking sad at the boy who took him in his arms soon after he said those words to him.

"Do you know where the others are?" Hana stepped over them

"They are close here" he said to the group

"Okay, we need to see them too" she said, and everyone agreed

Once koromon guided them to a village with little houses, they became to look for their digimons. That place was damaged and it looked barely safe to stay there.

"Where are they?" Nobu asked looking around

Koromon jumped from Hiroki's arms and went to one hut. The group of teenagers came close towards it to see what was inside. And one minute after, a bunch of little digimons came out of there looking happy but also injured.

"Motimon!" Hana was the first in kneel and take her digimon in her arms with tears in the corner of her eyes.

Everyone did the same after they saw her.

"Wait, I think I0ve got something to at least cure you guys" Yuuta looked in his bag hysterically. When he finally found some bad-aids and bandages everyone begun to heal their digimon.

"Does it hurt, pyocomon?" the blonde haired girl asked to the pink little ball in her lap.

"I feel better, thank you Haruko" she smiled at her "I'm glad to see you. You got so pretty, how old are you?"

Haruko now had a knot in her throat but she made sure to swallow it.

"S-seventeen" She said smiling. But certainly, when she was a little girl she looked very much like her father Yamato; but when she grew, she looked very similar to her grandmother Natsuko who was -when she was young- a beautiful woman.

"Do you feel better now, tokomon?" Kiyoshi asked to his digimon and he just nodded and said he felt better

"What about you, tanemon?" Aoi asked too, and the leaf like little digimon smiled at him and made him sure that she felt alright.

Everyone was worried, looking at each other and asking themselves what they should do now.
