Takuya is quickly regaled with the tales of everyone while as BurningGreymon he flies everyone across the lake. Once on the other side Selena, Davis, and Ken drop down, " Izzy and Mimi are close by, we're gonna go get Mimi, once you guys get Matt and Joe we can meet up somewhere. Use your digivices to track each other. Jaden-nii, stay with Tai-nii and TK. Dad, you should go with them as well, Mimi gets along very well with Kazemon. " Selena says.

" Baby girl, are you sure? "

" It's the best way, besides, you'll have a greater impact where Tai is going anyhow. Selena and I can both spirit evolve, Ken and I also have our crests, we'll be fine. " Davis says.

" I hate to say it, but they're right, I'll be better at talking to Mimi, plus Zoey can talk to her through me if necessary. " Kazemon says.

" All right, baby girl, just be careful. Veemon, Wormmon, take care of them, okay, Selena's my only daughter. " Takuya says.

With that three of the younger kids split off from them while Tai pulls up the tracking feature on his digivice, " Looks like we're going this way. "

" Hope there's food nearby. " Jaden says.

" Dammit, Selena has the food. " Tai says.

" Wait, she's wearing that backpack? " Takuya asks him.

" Purple backpack that seems to be bottomless. " Tai supplies.

Takuya and Jaden both moan, " She is so cruel to us, why did she take the food, why? "

Selena giggles as she walks along by now Tai would have realized that she had the food on her. She tosses a cabbage to Ken, and the boy starts nibbling away, sharing with Wormmon. She tosses one to Kazemon as well, " You are an evil little girl, leaving them all without food. "

" Made TK's fanny pack bottomless during one of our training breaks. Only if somebody asks will TK admit to it. " Selena says.

" Because the older kids shut you three out from the planning the one time, right? " Ken asks.

" Pretty much, Ken. Though when we go back home we'll need to stock up on other supplies as well. Walkie Talkies or something similar, flashlights, collapsible pots for boiling water if necessary, stuff like that. " Davis says, " Make no mistake this fight will be going to our home for a little while, Ken, Odaiba. Still, pretty much no time should have passed so you can go home with Selena, as she and Jaden live in an apartment during the school year, just makes life easier. "

" I hate summers when I have to spend them with grandma Yuriko. Grandpa Hiroaki can't even rein her in, here's hoping Daddy can. " Selena states.

All of them are stunned when they come across a castle, " You have got to be kidding me. " Selena says.

Kazemon giggles, Selena was very much her father's daughter. They enter the castle and just watch as several Geckomon and Otamamon race around to fulfill several various requests. Selena promptly goes over to the wall and starts banging her head. Davis chuckles, knowing why she had reacted the way she had. That was when Palmon arrives, dressed in a pink gown, " It's so great to see you again everyone, though I don't know you. "

" Palmon, this is Ichijouji Ken and his partner Wormmon, Ken holds the Crest of Kindness. " Davis says introducing them.

" Hello there, it's a pleasure to meet you, Palmon. " Wormmon says.

" Likewise. " Palmon says.

Then Mimi arrives and hugs Davis, " Why is Selena banging her head on the wall? "

" Mimi, how long have you been here? When did you start acting like a spoiled princess? "

Mimi got it then, " Selena, would you stop? I'll admit I lost my head for a while, but you told me that I had to be sincere with myself and that it wasn't easy. You're right, it's not easy. "

Matt is suspicious about the sudden lack of accidents around Joe. He was beginning to think that all those accidents weren't really accidents. That they had been contrived as a means of keeping him and Joe in one place. Then there was the threat that Digitamamon had made against Joe, Matt couldn't leave Joe with that threat still fresh on his mind. Besides Kazemon was still with TK, he'd be fine. Matt had no way of knowing that with DemiDevimon's reformatting at the hands of Jaden Kanbara there would be no more accidents. Digitamamon was starting to get worried because soon he would have no more excuses to keep the digidestined where they were.

" Matt, we've been had, haven't we? " Joe asks him as he washes dishes. Gabumon and Gomamon were waiting tables.

" It's beginning to look that way, Joe. " Matt admits.

" You're not paid to talk, get back to work. " Veggiemon snaps at them.

Matt sends a glare at the yellow digimon even while he keeps cooking. He'd like to sauté that Veggiemon and serve him to the customers! Takuya was the first to walk in and his eyes narrow, " This reminds me of the Toucanmons' shack. "

Digitamamon would have paled if he could, the King of Flames, in his restaurant, and he was keeping two digidestined against their wills. This would not be pleasant. Jaden and his dad take a seat along with the others and the eat first. One glare from Takuya was all it took to keep the fuss to a minimum. Jaden chuckles, " You guys, go get the others, we'll stay here. "

Tai grins and has Gomamon and Gabumon lead them back into the kitchen. While they're dealing with getting the duos of Friendship and Reliability liberated Mimi, while talking to the others has done some serious soul searching and gets her crest to glow while deciding she would do what she promised, sing to wake ShogunGeckomon up. Of course, he wakes up cranky and the digimon immediately digivolve to better handle the situation, " Palmon digivolve to… Togemon. "

" Wormmon digivolve to…Stingmon! "

" Veemon digivolve to… Veedramon! "

Selena and Davis look at each other, nodding, grabbing their D-Tectors and tossing them to their left hands, " Execute… Beast Spirit Evolution! "

" Yêshòumon! The Beastly Lord of Earth. "

" Nǚhuǒyànshòumon! The Princess of Flames. "

" Hurricane Wave! "

" Needle Spray! "

Stingmon flies around behind ShogunGeckomon, " Spiking Strike! "

" Pyro Barrage! "

" Rockslide Howl! "

They managed to knock the overgrown lizard out and they head on their way towards the signal of Izzy's digivice, though they did stock up on food, bandages, medicine and other essential stuff. Selena filled two more water bottles as she had done so for Ken and Wormmon earlier for her father and brother. At the same time Tai's group is also heading for Izzy's signal, Vademon was going to be in for a very big surprise. Selena was looking forward to being able to train with her brother and dad, so were Davis and Tai if truth were to be told.

Myotismon's Castle:

" My lord, rumor is stating that the Prince of Darkness is here in the Digital World. "

Myotismon looks at his most loyal servant, Gatomon, " Are you sure? "

" Yes, he reformatted DemiDevimon. " Gatomon states.

Myotismon curses internally at this, the Prince of Darkness being here would force him to move up his time table, significantly. It was bad enough with just the Princess of Flames and the new Lord of Earth, now he had to contend with the Prince of Darkness yet too. " There's more, my lord, and though I haven't confirmed this rumor, the King of Flames is here as well. "

Myotismon turned even whiter at hearing this and Gatomon privately thought it hadn't been possible. Even an unconfirmed rumor of the King of Flames was very bad news for him. In the shadows Wizardmon smirks, Takuya was awake, good. That meant there would be someone that could actually beat down on certain digimon that were getting way too arrogant. Now, if only he could get the Crest of Light and Gatomon away from Myotismon. How they had fallen into Myotismon's hands he didn't know, but he would get them away from the Dracula wannabe.

" Send for Darcmon, I'm sure she would like to have a reunion with the Flame King. " Myotismon orders Gatomon.

While she's doing that Myotismon sends for another of his loyal but throwaway minions, Impmon. " Impmon, go make sure Vademon keeps the Digidestined of Knowledge detained. "

" Yeah, whatev'ah. " Impmon says and was gone.

Myotismon sighs all Impmon were disrespectful like that, but they were loyal, to a degree. Now he had to figure out how to open the Gate to the Human World before the children got here and find that eighth child. Myotismon had no clue about the existence of Ken and Wormmon due to Lord Cherubimon shielding him from the current enemy's sight. After Myotismon's defeat such shielding would be gone. Takuya would explain that to everyone once they were all together.

Ophanimon's Castle:

" I'm glad one of them has returned to us and I will be extremely grateful once Takuya can take the time to go beat down on Zhuqiaomon again. " Seraphimon says.

" Yes, it will be nice to have him enforce our rules where necessary. I can understand him wanting to get things with his family in order first. Especially considering the current situation with Taiki, our little Water Prince. " Ophanimon admits.

" It was disheartening when the Sailor Scouts got to him first that day. At least they didn't get Jaden or Selena. " Bokomon says.
