Another day in the digital world searching for lost data for our teenager boys and girls, but today was like they were walling in circles. It was weird, but it wasn't a coincidence. Nidramon made an illusion for them, making them never leave that circle they were in.

"I'm getting tired" said palmon.

"Yeah, I know, me too" Aoi responded to her.

Actually, they were all tired. Why were they walking and walking and always turning the same places. Haruko noticed the same place with snow and ice like three times now.

They decided to sit down and rest for a moment.

.

.

After getting tired of waiting for a miracle or something to happen, Haruko got up and said she was going around investigating what was going on. Piyomon accompanied her of course.

"Haruko, what do you think is going on?" piyomon asked to her very concentrated partner.

Haruko was walking without doubt in her steps, as she knew where she was going to. The blonde was so focused that she didn't hear her digimon partner talk.

"Haruko?"

"Ah, sorry, piyomon. What did you say?" the girl apologized.

"I hope Haruko is alright" Tadashi said, looking at the sky. The digital world was clearer everytime.

"Why do you say that? She's responsible" Kiyomi said to him.

"I'm not saying she is not. Is just that…" when he realized, everyone was listening what he was about to say, and the orange haired boy sighed.

"Well, she is very responsible and composed, really! But, when she was little, well…" he shrugged.

"Wait, now that you mention it, Haruko said that she was a kind of bad-mouthed little girl, right?" Yuki added.

Tadashi nodded to the comment. "Yes, but it was more than that after bad-mouthing. When she grew up a little more, Haruko used to skip class to play guitar in the roof of the school, she was disobedient and rebellious. But when my parents told her that my mom was pregnant with me, Haruko stopped being like that and… changed, just like you see her now"

He finished his story and everyone was looking at one another. Nobody knew that, they were surprised and couldn't imagine a rebel Haruko.

A couple of minutes when he finished saying that, a block of ice fell in front of the way out of the cave where they were, blocking it. They were trapped in a cold cave with snow and a giant block of ice preventing them to get out.

Not even agumon and gabumon could break that ice.

It was not coincidence, though. Three frigimon were in top of a mountain above the cave, it was an accident that the block of ice fell, but they didn't noticed.

Haruko kept going and not finding anything. It frustrated her a little, but she didn't let her bad temper showed anymore, the blue eyed girl had learned to control it.

Nevertheless, piyomon saw her clenching her fists as she walked and worried a little.

"Haruko… let go back to the others, they must be worried"

The voice of her sweet partner woke her up from her thoughts, and paid her immediate attention.

The blonde kneel down to look at piyomon closer and smiled at her sweetly.

"Sorry, yes, we should get back, but… we didn't found out what is wrong with this place. We keep going round and round" she said looking around.

"It doesn't matter! We can figure it out together with the rest" piyomon tried to cheer her up.

Haruko glanced at piyomon for a moment, and the pink bird tilted her head a little. While they walked back to where they came from, Haruko chatted with piyomon…

"You know, I wanted to know what was going on, and maybe get us out of this trouble…" Haruko said softly. "Not because the others would get mad at me or not for not discover it, but for me. I feel like I'm responsible, but at the same time not"

Piyomon didn't understand what she was saying; of course the group wouldn't get mad at her.

"When I was little, I was a total disaster, rebel, I skipped classes to play guitar in the roof, my dad taught me how to play. I said bad words all the time, and sometimes even responded to my mom, who was always patient and kind with me"

"I didn't know that Haruko! So you were like that" piyomon said, surprised for everything the blonde said to her.

"Yeah… but, one day, my father sat me down, and talked to me with a kind smile on his face. He said: 'Haruko, I hope you change your mind and your attitude now, because I will need you, well, actually, you mom and I'. I didn't know what for, didn't even imagine it. He told me 'you're going to be a big sister, you're going to have a little brother"

"Woah!"

"Yeah!" Haruko chuckled. "Since then, I… changed. I just stopped everything I was doing, and became responsible, stopped saying bad words all the time, assisted to my classes, played guitar in my free time… and that's all" she said and then sighed, remembering how she changed so quickly that her parents were so surprised. She shifted her sight everywhere and smiled melancholically.

"Haruko?" piyomon grabbed her hand while walking.

"Piyomon..." she realized that she had a sad face now, and smiled uneasily. "Don't worry, I was just… remembering. I changed so fast… sometimes I miss the way I used to be, I felt free to do whatever I wanted, but I know I was doing it the wrong way"

"Haruko, you can be whatever you want" piyomon smiled big at her. "You know exactly who you are, so you can be whoever you want to be, even if you make mistakes that's okay because Haruko is responsible kind and very important to me"

Haruko had tears in her eyes now; those words were as true as the existence of her partner right there. She kneeled down to embrace piyomon and thanked her for those words.

"You can be whatever you want to be, too, piyomon. I never said this to you before, but I'm anxious to see you ultra-evolve!..."

She whispered at piyomon this time. "I think you could kick some butts"

They both laughed and continued the way until they found out the cave.

"Oh no, no, no" were Haruko's thoughts when she saw that block of ice.

"What happened?!" she started punching the ice with her hands, while in the other side of the block of ice, some digidestined did the same. Their voices barely hearing where Haruko and piyomon were.

"Alright, piyomon!" Haruko gave her partner a knowing look.

Piyomon evolve. Birdramon.

Birdramon tried to destroy the giant ice block with her technique, but it was useless.

A moment after, Haruko was standing away from the cave very nervous with her hands trembling. The doubts begin to appear in the blonde haired girl's head.

"What am I going to do now? Everyone is trapped, and birdramon can't break the ice… what do I do? What do I do?..."

Inside the cave, Tadashi could see his sister in the other side doubting. This happened sometimes, she just needed a push.

"HARUKO! YOU CAN DO IT!" he screamed. Haruko could hear that.

"JUST BRING THAT REBEL GIRL BACK AND GET US OUT OF HERE. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT"

Kiyomi stared at Tadashi and smiled to herself with confidence.

"I TRUST YOU, WE ALL TRUST YOU. WE NEED REBEL HARUKO BACK!"

"Guys…" Haruko couldn't believe what her ears were hearing.

"You're wrong… I'm not 'rebel Haruko' or 'responsible and kind Haruko'. I am both of them, and I can be whoever I want. But I don't want to be alone like those rebellious days…"

She looked up to see birdramon in the sky.

"Help me… birdramon" she said softly.

The giant bird digimon could see the blonde girl's blue eyes begging for help, and so, she went to Haruko's rescue.

Birdramon ultra-evolve. Garudamon.

Haruko held her breath and her jaw dropped when she saw Garudamon standing in front of her. She was enormous. Haruko couldn't believe those giant wings. Garudamon asked her, and the teens inside the cave to move away.

Garudamon's technique made that block of ice disappear and also, part of the cave, but it didn't matter.

"Thank you Garudamon!" Nobu started yelling.

"You're the best!" Kiyomi said too.

Haruko came running to hug her digimon. Garudamon smiled at her sweetly.

"Thank you… for helping me begin who I am… she said softly sobbing a little. "I told you could kick butts…" the blonde looked up to grin widely at her partner in a childish way.

Garudamon took everyone in her hands –who were giant- to watch everything from the sky.

"It was an illusion?!" Kosuke said.

"Maybe Nidramon…" Hana added in a low voice. She looked at Yuki and Kiyoshi beside her and both nodded at her.

Being safe in another place, pyokomon in Haruko's arms, they were sitting talking, when a light came from the floor. It was Gennai again.

"Digidestined, I'm glad to see you again" the ancient saluted. "I suppose everyone founded their lost data already?"

"No, not everyone. Haruko has just founded her own" Yuuta explained. And Haruko smiled at the old man.

"Oh, alright, who still didn't found it?"

They all looked at each other with wondering faces. Nobu, Kosuke, Kiyomi, Hiroki, Yuki, Aoi and Hana lifted their hands.

Gennai nodded, thinking.

"Okay. I have an announcement for you, kids. Some of you will have to go to your own world"

"WHAT?!" a unison of voices was heard. How on earth they were going to do that?.

"I-I thought it was not possible" Hana said a little shocked.

"It is possible, with your D-3 digivice style. Now that you could open the gate, well, you can go in and out the digital world as you used to"

A smile appeared in everyone's faces, some of the teenagers hugged each other in happiness.

"But, who will have to go home? You said 'some of us' right?" Kiyoshi said frowning curiously.

"Yes, I did" Gennai turned to see Kiyomi, Kosuke and Nobu.

"We?... we have to go home? Why?" Kiyomi started asking.

"You have special digimon who cannot evolve to level ultra. They need digi eggs or special data to evolve to that form. I'm afraid your digimon could die if you go to a battle with Nidramon" Gennai said sadly.

The three teens glanced at each other with sad faces and disappointment. But they accepted to go home, of course after Kosuke argued and complained. Also, the others explained that it is for the best.

"Listen, after you get home, you will have to talk to your parents and explain the situation, please. Make sure they're calm and not alarmed by this whole thing, alright? So, when you found a tv around, just put your digivice in front of it, and you will be transported to your world"

The three of them nodded in understanding. Gennai said goodbye and left.

Kiyomi and Nobu had tears in their eyes, they didn't wanted to leave, but it seemed for the best, since their digimon could die in battle. Armadimon and Hawkmon would be alright with them.

While Kosuke was angry, he had calmed down, kneeled down to V-mon and hugged him. The last thing he wanted in the world was for him to die.
