Aoi noticed what the younger boy was trying to say once he got closer to Hana and gave a sigh, but he convinced them to get out of that place at once. The three of them with their digimon, flew away from the cave of illusions they were in.

.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?"

They were only welcomed by the scream of Haruko. Not two seconds passed when Hana was embraced by her telling her that she was worried. Hiroki and Aoi smiled and grinned, mostly because they were relieved to be safe and happy to see their digimon in ultra form.

They explained what happened and now everyone were convinced to keep going and stop Nidramon once and for all.


Getting closer and closer to Nidramon's refuge made everyone feel even more nervous. The thing that reassure them was their digimon partner that smiled at them everytime they look at them. The digital world was clearer everytime, more than when they first came. That especially gave hope to the teens to do the right thing, maybe return home and everything would be alright.

Hana was feeling warmer with the sun in her face. That's right, she could see the sun. It was the greatest sensation ever, she felt like she hadn't seen the sun in ages.

"Hana, are you alright?"

Hana shifted her head aside to look at the face of Hiroki, her eyes narrowing a little because of sunshine. His question was just for checking if she was alright.

"Yes, I'm okay. Isn't it great Hiroki? The sun in your face?" she said, closing her eyes and lifting her face to the sun.

The brown haired boy chuckled at her behavior. It was true; he couldn't believe how much the digital world changed, just because they were there, just because they found their partners found the lost data and were able to ultra-evolve.

"Yes, is great" he said with calmness in his voice.

"Nidramon is supposed to be in that mountain… ¿are you ready to go?" Kiyoshi turned around to look at the expression of all of his friends.

They nodded, and started walking towards the mountain, which was still under a grey sky, and the mountain was in complete darkness, unlike the rest of the digiworld.


In a cabin near the beach, a slam could be heard along with whining, and birds flying in the distance because of the impact. Nobu, Kosuke and Kiyomi landed in the floor in their return from the digital world. The TV was off, but they made it through it and came safely to their world.

"It's so silent here". Nobu was checking around everything. She still wondered if they were in the digital world or they made it to their world. Only the sound of the waves outside could be heard.

"We're home…" said quietly Kiyomi while she looked through the window, smiling.

While the girls laughed and hugged, Kosuke was checking his phone, mainly to call someone, his parents, Nobu's or Kyoshi's. But he found out the date it was just a day after they were camping.

"Just one day?" he thought, grasping firmly his phone in his hand. "The digital world must be pretty damaged if the time is messed up like this". He turned to look at the girls.

"Guys, we have to hurry. It's been only one day since we left, that means a minute here is like one hour in the digiworld, we can't lose that much time" he said in a serious tone.

"Who should we call, Kosuke?" Kiyomi asked him with a faint smile.

The chocolate brown haired boy gave returned her smile.

"Who do you think?" he said still with that smile on his face, looking right at her green eyes.

She stayed there thinking for a second, a little surprised. She never expected that Kosuke to return the question back at her.

"Well… Hana's father, I think" she said shrugging, and the boy chuckled.

"You have to say it with confidence! Don't doubt your decision, Kiyomi"

The atmosphere of confusion and nervous faded. Kosuke had that ability to turn a heavy situation into a light one.

They called Koushiro. Kosuke talked with him and told him what was going on. The older Izumi was a little confused, but he didn't doubt a single word of what Kosuke told him.

"That's why Jyou couldn't contact Yuuta" Koushiro thought. He was arriving to Taichi's house, he wanted help to go for those kids at the camp and do something about this situation. Koushiro knocked at the door with a frown and worried face like he wore in years.

"Koushiro!" received Taichi. "What's whit that worried face?" he asked confused.

"We have a problem" he stated coming into the house already "Well… not we. Our kids" he said in a tone that made the brown haired man worry, too.

Taichi looked at him in the eyes seriously this time. "Tell me what happened". Koushiro only nodded and took a deep breath, making his friend do the same thing.


After a half an hour, Kosuke, Kiyomi and Nobu still were in the beach waiting for Koushiro and someone else to come and take them home.

"Look, we have to go. We can't stay here any longer"

"How you know we have to go and not stay here, Kosuke?"

Nobu was losing her patience again with the boy.

"Oh, so you want to stay here waiting? Okay! But I'm leaving!" he said at the navy haired girl who was just shaking her head listening to him. Then he glanced at Kiyomi.

"Kiyomi, you're gonna come with me, right?" he said.

Kiyomi stayed quiet without talking. She was indecisive of what to do. But while her two friends discussed, she made up her mind.

"Nobu. Let's go" she smiled at the taller girl.

"What?" Nobu asked with her face in pure confusion.

"We shouldn't stay were waiting, we should go and find them in the way! Think about the digital world. There's no time, we have to hurry. Remember, one minute here is like a day over there or more" she explained the best she could, moving towards Kosuke's side, ready to go, but Nobu was still not moving.

"Come on, Nobu. It's our time" said Kosuke with decision, extending his hand to her.

The older girl looked at them, and slowly smiled. "It's time" she said and ran towards them, hugging them both in an embrace.

"Come on, let's go! What are we waiting?!"

The three started walking in the street going to… well, they didn't know where, but they were home, and they had to do something there for the digital world. Meanwhile, Koushiro, Taichi and Yamato were driving to the cabin in the beach.

"I'm gonna call Kosuke again" Koushiro grabbed his phone and started calling him.

"Kosuke, we're about to arrive to the cabin!"

"Ah, sorry, we're not there anymore. We started walking through the streets. We're uh… near the city now"

"Near the city? Okay, we'll find you, just don't go that far, please"

"Yes, okay. Goodbye"

The red head sighed. "We have to keep going, they left that place and started moving"

"What?! Where are they? Do you imagine if we lose Iori's, Kosuke's, Ken and Miyako's kids?! They'll kill us" said Taichi complaining. "I'm serious!"

"Calm down, Taichi, they can't be that far, they're walking. We'll find them more ahead" Yamato tried to reassure him. But Koushiro was still thinking.

"Kosuke explained everything to me and I understood him well, but… I wonder why they're here, and the rest stayed in the digital world"

Yamato nodded. "Haruko and Tadashi are still there…"

"Hiroki…" said taichi in a low, worried tone.

"Hana…" "Be careful"


The refuge of Nidramon was every second nearer, the teens could feel fear and nervous from being so close, but their digimon calmed them telling them that the digital world was really clear because of them, and while they had ultra evolution everything will be okay. They walked with a firm step, grabbing each other's hand and squeezing them, looking at each other with confidence and taking deep breaths to calm themselves. The end was close.

"But my dear digidestined kids… if I tricked Hana, Hiroki and Aoi into an illusion once, what makes you think that I can't do it again?" Nidramon smirked somewhere inside his refuge with Ogremon behind him. He wasn't giving up on the digital world yet, but time was running and something had to be done for both of worlds.

.

"Yuki… I'm scared" Hana brough up to the older boy walking beside him. She was nervous and overthinking.

Yuki gave her a reassuring smile. "You don't have to worry. We're all together. We can do it Hana".

"Uh, guys, look!" Hiroki pointed to the sky where a kuwagamon and snimon were flying and about to attack them. The place where they were in that moment was dark and had rocks around and little land elevations, nothing more than Nidramon's refuge ahead.

"Run!" yelled Kiyoshi and everyone splitted up to hide somewhere while the digimon flew by close trying to hurt them.

Aoi and Kiyoshi were together with their digimon.

Haruko, Aoi and Hiroki.

Yuuta, Yuki and Tadashi were hiding together.

And Hana was alone with tentomon.

There's little time and Nidramon has a plan. The end is close, but ¿how are they going to turn this situation around?.
