Chapter 5: Finding The Way Home
Last time: (Agumon) Kari fell through a crack in the ground. Ken, Kouji and Kouichi tried to pull her up but they were pulled in by the ground. We can't contact them and already the group is in Chaos. Now we need to find them.
Summary: Kari, Ken, Kouji and Kouichi find themselves in the dark ocean. Can they escape?
Kari heard her d- terminal go off. She quickly opened it and read the email.
Kari,
Hope you kids are alright we're going to try to find you be safe
TK
"It's an email from TK" She said. Ken walked over and read the email. "Tell him not to find us we'll go find him." Ken said. Kari nodded in agreement.
TK
We're fine don't search for us we're in the dark ocean we'll come and find you guys
Kari
TK read the email and showed it to Yolei.
"Listen up" Yolei said.
"We got an email from Kari. She said they're ok but we can't go searching for them they'll find us." Yolei said.
"WHAT?!" Tai yelled.
"Tai calm down." Matt said.
"WEll WHERE ARE THEY?" Tai screamed. Everyone looked at them.
"They're in the dark ocean we have no way of getting to them." TK said.
"So you're saying we have no way to get to them?" Takuya asked.
"That's right it's up to them to find their own exit." Yolei said.
"How do you two know about this place?" Matt asked. TK and Yolei both explained their memories in the dark ocean with Kari and Ken.
"So how do we get to them?" Izzy asked.
"There was a hole in the sky that brought Us back to the digital world when I was with Kari and Ken, We were the only ones that could see it the others couldn't" Yolei said.
"Is it possible for the hole to reappear on them again?" Tai asked. Yolei said nothing but shrugged her shoulder.
"I'll just email Kari letting her know we got the email." Yolei said.
"Great what do we do?" Rika asked.
"You guys can do whatever we're going to visit an old friend." Izzy said.
"Great we're coming along." Takuya said. "Us too" Takato said. The group soon started an argument.
~Dark Ocean~
Kari had once again received an email from Yolei.
Kari,
Glad you and Ken are alright. Search for an opening and come home quickly we'll be waiting.
Yolei.
"Opening?" Kouji asked.
"Yah last time we came there was an opening behind Blossommon that lead us out." Ken answered.
"My guess the exits are different each time we come here." Kari said.
"What do you mean?" Kouji asked.
"Well before Ken joined the team we had an enemy who called himself the digimon emperor. I'll let Ken explain him later if he wants. One day I was sent hear by the dark creatures called scubamon who wanted me to be their queen. TK, Patamon and Gatomon came to my rescue and saved me. There was a control spire here and when pegasasmon knocked it down the posotive energy of the light allowed gatomon to digivolve after that the light had brought us back to the sigital world." Kari explained.
"As Kari said the digimon emperor was the enemy of the digidestines. He tortured innocent digimon and tried to destroy them." Ken said softly.
"Why would someone do that?" Kouichi asked.
"To get away from his life that he lived in. To start over after wishing for his brother to die and have it come true that same day. To get away from parents who worshiped the brother for being smart and the best. To become what his parents wanted him to be." Ken replied quietly.
"How would you know this?" Kouji asked.
"Because I was that person. I turned Agumon against his partner, tried to get rid of my friends and believed that this was some stupid game." Ken answered. "ARE YOU CRAZY!" Kouji yelled at him.
"The digital world is not a game he continued.
"Kouji it's no different then what I've done." Kouichi said.
"What do you mean?" Kari asked.
"I used to hold the spirit of darkness of Duskmon. I went against my friends and tried to kill them." Kouichi said.
"Why?" Ken asked.
"When we were young our parents separated us I live with our mother and Kouji lives with our dad. The thing was when they separated us they never told us we were twins they said the other parent died when we were young. My grandmother before she died told me that I had a brother name Kouji. I followed him to the train station. I missed the elevator that he was in so I ran down the stairs and fell unconscious. Cherubimon found me and brought my spirit to the digital world and gave me the ability to become duskmon when needed to." Kouichi explained.
"Looks like you two were connected to the darkness." Wormon said standing next to Ken.
"I bet you two will be great friends" Gatomon predicted.
"She's right you two have so much in common." Kari said.
"I guess you're right." Ken said.
"Ok as much as I like getting to know you guys can we please find an exit?" Kouji asked annoyed.
"Kari and I have d- terminals to contact each other if needed" Ken said.
"So you two would have to separate" Kari said.
"I'll go with her then since we both have light." Kouji said.
"Let's go this way." She said leading him away from the other two boys. Gatomon quickly followed.
"Well I guess it's you and me" Kouichi said.
"Yep let's go this way" Ken said.
~Kouji and Kari~
The two were walking in silence until Gatomon heard a voice in the distance.
"Wait do you guys hear something?" She asked.
"I don't hear anything." Kouji said.
"Me neither, Gatomon maybe you're tired you barely slept last night because of your excitement over the game." Kari said.
"I heard something I know it." The cat whined.
"Gatomon" Kari sighed.
"Just stop and listen for a minute." the cat begged. Kari looked over at Kouji who just shrugged his shoulders. They remained still and still heard nothing. Kari cupped her ear when she heard a fainted voice calling for help in the distance.
"You're right I hear it too" Kari said.
"I don't" Kouji said.
"Try cupping your ears." Kari replied. Kouji did as he was told and soon could hear the voices as well.
"I hear them too. Sounds like they're coming from the water." He said. "
The water's so dark you can't see anything through it." Kari said walking up to the water. A grey blob slowly reached out from the water and tried to grab her. Kari screamed and fell to her knees. Kouji came running over with a stick and whacked the thing. He grabbed Kari's hand and pulled her away from the water. "Thanks" She said quietly.
"No prob you better tell Ken" Kouji replied. Kari nodded in agreement and created an email.
Ken,
a voice came from the ocean, when we went to get closer something tried to pull me in.
Kari
Ken read the email with Kouichi peaking over the shoulder.
"Looks like they're in trouble" Kouichi said. "Right let's go" Ken said running in the opposite direction with Kouichi and wormon following him.
~Kari and Kouji~
"Should I digivolve?" Gatomon asked as the three of them was waiting for something to happen.
"No not yet let's see what happens" Kari said.
"I think we're safe" Kouji said.
"Right let's keep walking." Kari said.
"No don't stop." The voice said. The two turned around to see nothing.
"Who are you show yourself." Kouji ordered. Soon grey blob came out of the water.
"Scubamon." Kari said.
"Save us" the creature said reaching out to her. Kari slowly backed away letting Kouji hit them with a stick.
"Stay back" He said hitting them. One scubamon reached out and pulled the stick away from Kouji. "Kouji" Kari screamed. "Now?" Gatomon asked. "Now" Kari replied.
"Gatomon digivolve to... Angewomon"
"Kari run and hide. I'm going to help her." Kouji ordered. "How you don't have a digimon?" Kari asked. "Don't worry I don't need one." Kouji answered pulling out his digivice.
"Execute spirit evolution... Lobomon."
"He turned into a digimon" Kari gasped. "Kari get out of here run" Kouji ordered. "Kari do as he says" Angwomon said. Kari nodded and ran in the other directiion. "Kari, Kouji" voices called in the distance. "Ken Kouichi I'm over here" She yelled back. The two boys ran up to here. "Where's Kouji?" Ken asked looking around for him. "In battle with Angewomon." Kari said. "Wormon go and join the." Ken ordered his partner.
"Wormon digivolve to... Stingmon."
"I'll go and help too." Kouichi said. "You can't you don't have a digimon." Ken said. "I don't need one" Kouichi replied. "What?" Ken asked "You'll see" Kari said.
"Execute spirit evolution ... Lowemon"
"He can become a digimon" Ken gasped. "Let's go hide somewhere so we're not in danger." Kari suggested. Ken nodded and ran in the other direction.
~the battle~
Angewomon and Lobomon were busy trying to get the reason why they creatures were after Kari.
"Why do you want her?" Angewomon asked.
"She's our queen." The creatures answered.
"Queen? She's a regular digidestine" Lobomon said.
"That's where you're wrong for see she is the child of light" Scubamon answered. Stingmon and Lowemon soon showed up to see what was going on.
"What's happening?" Lowmon asked.
"They want us to hand over Kari for some reason." Lobomon answered.
"Why?" Stingmon asked.
"She will defeat our master who is after her." scubamn replied.
"And he would be?" Stingmon asked.
"You'll see" the Scubamons said sinking back into the water.
"Rats I wanted to attack them." Lowemon said.
"Forget that let's get Ken and Kari and get out of here." Lobomon said. He and lowemon changed back into their human form.
"Climb on and we'll take you to the others." Stingmon said. Kouichi climbed on him and Kouji road with Angewomon.
~Ken and Kari~
"I wonder if they're ok?" Kari asked. The two were hiding behind a giant bolder.
"Don't worry I'm sure they're fine." Ken said.
"Hey you guys alright?" A voice said from the other side of the bolder.
"Kouichi" The two kids replied.
"Good to see you two are safe" Kouji said.
"Thanks." Kari and Ken said together.
"So how do we get out of here?" Kouji asked.
"Found it" Kouichi said looking at the hoe in the sky behind them.
"Nice work" Ken said.
"Right let's go." Kari said getting on Angewomon. Kouichi and Ken went with Stingmon and Kouji climbed on Angewomon with Kari. The two flying digimons flew towards the hole where they would be bak in the digital world.
