Chapter 17

"Yes Koji, it's you brother Kouichi." Kouichi said with a smile.

"Hehe, it seems we have a little reunion going on here." Jedrick said grinning.

The gang has finally gotten back with Kouichi after he escaped the Forbidden Digimons' grasps.

"So Kouichi, have you gotten any info on Aquaterrimon's base?" Takuya said.

"Well, I was able to make a diagram of the whole base." Kouichi responded.

"Ok then, that should be a good start when it comes to what we know about this place." J.P said.

Kouichi then pulled out a scroll and it soon revealed a diagram of the base inside. The diagram showed that there was only one entrance which would lead up to about 4 doorways which they would have to choose which one leads to Aquaterrimon.

"So did you figure that out yet?" Jon asked.

"I wasn't able to figure that out yet due to the fact that Aquaterrimon keeps changing the room he is in." Kouichi replied.

"It doesn't matter I mean what can happen if we choose the wrong door." Craig wondered.

"Guess we have to figure that out when we enter the base." Schmidt said.

"Well then, we should go right?" Kate said.

"Actually Kate, we should probably go tomorrow morning." Zoe said.

"Why can't we go attack the base now?" Koji said.

"We'll are tired from getting here." Zoe responded while yawning.

"*yawn* Zoe's right I'm pretty tired right now also." Tommy said.

Everybody yawned in agreement.

"Well where do we make camp without getting caught by one of Aquaterrimon's guards?" Kouichi asked.

The gang then had to walk farther from the base so they can find an easier place to camp. It took them a while but J.P and Jedrick finally found a spot with trees and they would still be able to see the base from the distance. They soon made the camp and gathered around the campfire.

"Is everyone going to be ready for the battle against Aquaterrimon?" Takuya said.

Everyone nodded but some had doubt.

"What happens if we fail the Digital World?" Jon said.

"Don't worry about that, because that's the last thing that's going to happen in this group and I'm going to make sure of that. As long as I'm the leader, then this group isn't going down because we never give up and that's a face" Takuya said pounding his hands together.

Everybody then looked at Takuya and pretty soon all of their doubts were gone. Zoe then grinned wildly after his boyfriend's little motivation to the group.

"That's my Takuya" Zoe thought.

"Wow Zoe, you sure have one motivational boyfriend." Kate said.

"Oh he's always like that but those words of his were the reason we are always to win fights which was also how we defeated Lucemon from our previous journey." Zoe said.

"Koji told me once about this one time that he almost died once." Kate said.

Zoe's smile faded after she heard that part. She remembers that clearly when Takuya was inside Sakakumon and that even though he was in a huge situation, he still kept fighting and was saved to the near death.

"I remember that, I thought he was really a goner." Zoe said.

"Oh sorry if I brought that up I didn't mean to." Kate said.

"It's okay I know you didn't mean it." Zoe said with a smile.

Zoe's fear of losing Takuya has come back to her.

"Hey Kate I'm going to go over there where they can't see me." Zoe said.

"Ok then" Kate said.

Zoe then left even though she didn't notice Takuya saw her leave the camp and decided to follow her.

Zoe was at a near edge cliff looking at the 2 moons of the Digital World. She was trying not to imagine the death of Takuya and couldn't hold back her tears. She didn't want to lose Takuya after the scene with Sakakumon where she almost lost him. As she was crying she felt to arms wrap around her waist.

"Zoe" It was Takuya.

"*sniff* Hey Takuya" Zoe said. She knew she was crying but didn't care.

"What's wrong babe" Takuya said.

"It's nothing" she lied. Takuya wasn't buying what she said though.

"C'mon babe don't lie to me I know that something's wrong." He said.

She then felt a kiss on her neck.

"You can tell me anything." Takuya said.

Takuya then felt a warm hug as Zoe turned around and hugged him around the neck and hugged tightly. He hugged her back.

"I don't want to lose you Takuya. Last journey you almost died. I know that it only happened once but in this journey, you have taken hits that made me so worrisome but now were going up against Digimon more powerful that I don't think that you might survive with all those hits you have taken for us." Zoe said with tears.

Zoe then felt her tears wiped off and a kiss by Takuya in the forehead.

"Don't worry Zoe, the forbidden Digimon can give me as much hits as they want on me. But I will never let them kill me as long as you're here." Takuya was going to continue but then Zoe kissed him passionately in the lips.

"You better not die." Zoe said.

"Hehe don't worry I won't" Takuya said.

Takuya then brought Zoe back into the tent and was about to go in the tent to sleep but was interrupted.

"Well I see your having a good time with her." It was Jedrick.

"Hehe shouldn't you be sleeping." Takuya then asked.

"Nope I'm keeping watch." Jedrick said.

"Oh yeah we drew straws." Takuya said.

"Yep, and I need to ask you something?" Jedrick said.

"And your question is?" Takuya said.

"Where did you learn to say that kind of motivation because that was impressive?" Jedrick said

"I just learned it from my first time here." Takuya said.

"Hehe it seems that the Digital World teaches you something while you're here." Jedrick said looking at the stars.

"It really does" Takuya replied.

"Alright then good night Takuya" Jedrick said.

"Night" Takuya then went into his tent.

The gang is now resting to fight Aquaterrimon.
