"Here Ken. This should help with the wound." Yolei said. After the digidestined failed to save Davis, they thought they should have a little talk with Gennai. Ken was getting his wound treated as Yolei handed some ointment. "Gennai said this should heal it faster."

"Thank you." Ken said as he took it.

"How could you Gennai?!" T.K. shouted from the other room as the others were talking about Gennai. "How could you lie to us like this? You only gave us Ross so Hydroumon could be stopped. You know we have to get Davis and Veemon back."

"I know that. That's why I put Ross with you." Gennai said.

"I don't understand, Gennai." Kari said.

"I know you're all determined to save Davis and Veemon, but Hydroumon has to be stopped." Gennai said. "You would have made saving those two your top priority, you would have been listening to your emotions rather than your heads. I had to give you someone that would fight him. The longer Hydroumon is around, the more dangerous this situation becomes."

"So basically you wanted someone on our team that would put defeating Hydroumon first and rescuing Davis second." Cody clarified.

"Still, how could you lie to us like this? I told you that I was going to save Davis no matter what." T.K. said.

"Yes T.K., but that didn't change how I felt and thought." Gennai said. "I still think you should go with the smartest decision rather than doing what your heart is saying. Following your heart is a good thing, but as I told you that you have to use your head. I'm sorry for doing this to you, but I had to do what was right." T.K. understood why he did this, but he couldn't bring himself to actually forgive him.

"T.K., don't let this bother you now. We should just focus on finding them again." Ross said and T.K. nodded in agreement to that.

…

Davis

After recruiting Splashmon, Davis and Veemon headed out with their new comrade to retrieve a new member named Lotosmon.

"So why do you want this Lotosmon to join us?" Splashmon said.

"Lotosmon can emit a powerful aroma. It causes her victims to lose their fighting spirit or see hallucinations." Davis said. "Don't let her lady like personality and the sweetness she gives fool you. She can be dangerous when she wants to be."

"I'll believe that when I see it." Splashmon said.

"We're here." Davis said. They stopped by the entrance of a forest that looked enchanted. "We'll find Lotosmon inside."

"How will we find her in a place as big as this?" Splashmon said.

"Just follow the scent." Davis said as he and Veemon started walking in and Splashmon soon followed. Splashmon wondered what he meant when he said follow the scent until it hit him. There was a pleasant smell in the air and you could see a trail of pollen in the sunlight.

"Okay, now I see what you mean." Splashmon said.

"Yeah. If we just follow the pollen, we'll find her." Davis said. They either followed their noses of their eyes. It soon came to hearing drum noises.

"What's that?" Veemon said.

"Sounds like we're getting closer." Splashmon said.

"She's just up ahead." Davis said. They soon saw a bunch of forest digimon that were gathered around Lotosmon as she sat on a throne chair made out of flowers and roots.

"Hello there boys." Lotosmon said as she already spotted them. A path was cleared for them as they walked up to her.

"I'm going on a limb here and say you're the one we're looking for." Splashmon said.

"I am Lotosmon. I am the queen of this forest. To what do I owe this arrival? Who are you?"

"My name is Davis. That is Veemon and Splashmon. We've come here to have you join our team." Davis said.

"And why would I want to do that?" Lotosmon said.

"Trust me honey, you really should. We're very powerful and you would be wise to come with us." Splashmon said.

"Splashmon, we can't force her." Davis said.

"You watch your tone. You are in the presence of a queen here. I also doubt my servants would appreciate you speaking to me that way." Lotosmon said.

"We don't want any trouble, but I don't back down from a fight." Davis said. "Send whoever you like and we'll fight." Lotosmon actually took that offer.

"Destroy them." Lotosmon said as all the digimon that were around stood to fight them all.

"Oh please." Splashmon said as he held up his fingers.

"Hydro-Pressure."

He shot out his water and blew all the digimon away. Davis reached for his D3 and turned Veemon in to Exveemon. He flew around and trashed each and everyone one of the digimon that came into his sight.

"I warned you." Davis said.

"How dare you step into my land and bring this chaos?" Lotosmon said. "In that case, I'll make you cease this fighting." She held out her hands and two different staffs came into her hands. One held a black and white snake and the other held a rainbow colored flower.

"I take it those are the staffs you use to release the aroma that makes a person lose their fighting spirit." Davis said.

"Is that suppose to scare us?" Splashmon said.

"These scepters are used to rid those of sadness and make them see the good." Lotosmon said. "However, if you fail to see that, you'll be punished."

"Rid of sadness and make them good? Davis, are you sure this is the girl you want to join us?" Splashmon said.

"It's just her way to have others see things her way." Davis said. "I can see that she doesn't care for goodness and to rid people of sadness. She just uses it to persuade people to make them follow her."

"Is that what you think?" Lotosmon said. "Well you're about to find out. I don't like violence so let's see if you'll still be wanting to fight after this."

"I doubt that because you're not going to use it." Splashmon said as he launched more water, but Lotosmon spun the staff in her left hand, the black and white snake staff, and blocked it. She pointed the rainbow flower staff at them.

"Seven's Fantasia."

The staff emitted a rainbow colored scent at all three of them. All it took was one small whiff and they fell under the power. Splashmon saw himself surrounded by water and was relaxingly floating on it with flowers everywhere. He felt so relaxed.

"Wow. I feel like all the fight in me is gone. I just want to stay here all day." Splashmon said. Davis was surrounded in a rainbow light. It was just him and Lotosmon.

"How do you feel? Don't you want to take a nap or feel so happy that you don't want to do anything?" Lotosmon said.

"Not really. Lotosmon, I only want to know if you'll join us." Davis said. "All of this could have been avoided, but you brought this upon yourself."

"Are you trying to make yourself seem cool to try and impress me so I will join you?" Lotosmon said. "That isn't going to work. You are cute, but you're too young for my taste. I'm only interested in real men."

"Did I ask what you're interested in?" Davis said. Lotosmon didn't respond to that. She just moved behind him and massaged his shoulders.

"Your shoulders feel so tense. You really should relax. You can stay if you want and I'll take it all away." Lotosmon said. "Promise to be fateful to me and you can stay as long as you please. You'll never feel sadness ever again and you'll never have another worry in the world."

"Don't bother." Davis said. He reached for his sword and in one slash, the illusion fated and Splashmon was free from his illusion. Lotosmon could not believe this happened. No one ever did that before.

"How?" Lotosmon said.

"I discarded emotions such as sadness and happiness long ago. Tricks like that aren't going to work on me." Davis said. He snapped his fingers and Exveemon flew up to her. He gave her a powerful kick and caused her to go through the chair and slide against the ground.

"My servants, come to me!" Lotosmon shouted.

"Splashmon, shoot water in the sky, have it rain." Davis said.

"You've got it." Splashmon said. He raised his hand and launched water into the sky like a geyser and it all rained down. Lotosmon tried to summon her minions, but none of them showed.

"It's not going to work. It's next to impossible for a flower to release its scent when it becomes drenched." Davis said as he took a stand on her broken throne chair.

"No. You can't do this, I am the queen." Lotosmon said.

"You're no queen. I've seen how you work." Davis said. "You had those digimon do what you say because you used that same aroma trick. You had them feel happy and relaxed. You had them feel all that when they are around you and it persuade them to do whatever you say. You're just like a little girl pretending to be a princess."

"No….no this can't be happening." Lotosmon said.

"Lotosmon, this time it's your turn to retrieve happiness." Davis said. Lotosmon looked up to see a rainbow behind Davis as the water mixed with the sun. It was like a work of art. There was something about seeing this that made her feel at peace. A feeling she hadn't felt in a wire. "Come with us and you will." Lotosmon couldn't say no.

"So she's with us now?" Splashmon said as they all left the forest.

"That's just what happened bubble boy." Lotosmon said.

"What did you just call me?" Splashmon said as he glared at her.

"What are you to Davis, the water boy?" Lotosmon said and that insult to injury.

"Enough you two. We just need to get the last member to join us." Davis said.

"Who is the last one?" Splashmon said.

"We'll find him locked up in the mountains. His name is Blastmon." Davis said.

"Blastmon? I heard that he's very strong, dangerous, and goes crazy in fighting." Lotosmon said.

"I know. That's why he's perfect." Davis said.
