Chapter Six
Separate Battles
Last time: (Takuya)Kouji, Kouichi, Kari, Ken, and their digimon partners fell through the ground landed in a strange place called the Dark Ocean. There these creature called Scubamon tried to take Kari to defeat their mast but the other three were able to rescue her. Mean while the rest of us tried to contact them but it didn't work until TK and Yolei could.
Summary: The four kids return to the digital world hoping to see their friends. Each team is separated fighting enimies while Kari, Ken and the twins split up to help some friends.
The four kids went in the hole and found themselves falling on the ground.
"Are we back?" Kouji asked.
"Yah this is where I fell" Kari said looking around in the woods.
"Looks like everyone left." Kouichi said.
"I hope they weren't trying to find us." Ken said right before the beeping noise of the digivice went off.
"Looks like our group is in trouble." Kouji told his brother.
"Yep" Kouichi said looking at his digivice that showed four red dots flashing.
"My digivice picked up something as well." Kari said looking at hers.
"Ok Kouji,, Kouichi you two go help your team I'll go with Kari and see what's wrong." Ken said.
"No Ken you should go with them. So we can contact each other if we need help." Kari suggested.
"You want to go alone?" Kouji asked.
"I'm ok I usually don't get to do this with Tai around and beside I know my way around." Kari said shrugging her twins looked at each other confused.
"Look my brother is a bit over protective so this is a chance to be on my own. I promise I'll email if I ran into trouble." Kari said.
"Ok but be safe." Ken said.
"Don't worry i will come on Gatomon let's go" Kari said and walked away from the boys with the cat following her.
~Tamers~
Each of the digidestine team had split up due to facing some digimons that separated them. In the deeper part of the woods the tamers were fighting Leomon and Ogremon. The only problem was the tamers couldn't get their partners to digivolve.
"Come on Digi modify" Takato screamed for the twentieth time sliding a card through his digivice.
"Takato stop Guilmon couldn't digivolve the last twenty times I don't think he could do it now." Henry said to him.
"Ok I'm done" Takato said putting his card away.
"I wonder what's causing this." Rika said.
"I don't know" Ryo replied.
"Yah but we still need to fight." Terriormon said.
"Right" The other digimons cheered.
"OK let's go" He said charging forward.
"Terriormon be careful." Henry called out to his partner.
"Terrior tornado" Terriormon cried whirling towards the digimon. Ogremon took his club and swung it at terriormon, hitting him and causing him to fly away. "Terriormon" Henry called watching his digimon disappear over the trees.
~Kari~
In another area of the woods, Kari was riding Nefertimon following the signal on her digivice.
"I don't get it my digivice is going off but I don't see anything." Kari said watching the light blink on her digivice.
"Heeeelp meeeee" a voice said in the air. Kari looked up and saw Terriormon flying in the air and caught him with her hands. Nefertimon landed on the ground and changed back into Gatomon and waited for Terriormon to wake up with Kari.
~Frontier~
In another area of the woods the remaining Legendary Warrior were having problems with Duskmon.
"We don't have enough energy to keep this up." Kazumon to the group.
"I know but we don't know if Kouji and Kouichi are back yet." Agunimon said.
"Beetlemon watch out" Kumumon shouted.
"Spiking Strike" Beatlemon turned around in time to see Ken and the twins riding Stingmon.
"You guys made it back" Agunimon said.
"Yah see you guys could use some help." Ken said.
"Yah hey where's Kari?" Agunimon asked.
"She went on her own mission." Kouji answered.
"Alone?" Kazumon asked.
"Yah I might help you guys for a bit then go and help her." Ken said.
"Well that's good." Kumomon said.
"Hello a little help here" Beatlemon said being attacked.
"Whoops sorry JP" Kouji said.
"Let's join in and help out." Kouichi said. Kouji nodded in agreement and the two transformed.
~Kari~
Terriormon woke up and found himself lying in Kari's lap.
"You ok?" She asked.
"Yah where's Henry?" He asked.
"We haven't seen him but we could help." Gatomon said. They all stood up except for Terriormon who fell back down again.
"Here want me to carry you?" Kari asked picking him up.
"Thanks." Terriormon said. As they were walking in the woods Terriormon slowly started to tell her about what happened after she fell through the ground.
"So we were facing Orgremon. None of us could digivolve and when I tried to attack he whacked me with his club and I went flying and that's when I saw you." He finished. Kari looked at her digivice and realized she was heading in the same direction as the red dot.
~Tamers~
"Terriormon" Henry shouted watching his partner go flying above the trees.
"I want to go home" Suzie wailed loudly.
"We can't not until we find Terriormon" Henry said calming his sister down.
"Come on let's start searching" Takato said leading the group away from battle.
"Terriormon" The group started calling out hoping to find him.
~Kari~
"Henry" the small group started calling out.
"Guilmon Rennamon anyone?" Terriormon yelled from Kari's sholder.
"Terriormon" A voice called from the distance. Terriormon jumped off of Kari's sholder and started running in the direction he heard the voice. Kari and Gatomon quickly followed.
~Tamers~
"Henry" a voice called from the distance.
"Terriormon" Henry said and started running towards the voice.
"Henry wait up." Takato said running after him with the others. The two groups kept running through the woods until...
CRASH
"Ow that hurts." Takato said rubbing his head.
"Sorry we heard you guys and started running towards you." Kari said.
"Henry" Terriormon said jumping over the pile of kids until he reached his partner. Everyone slowly started standing up. Kari stood off to the side watching the tamers as they were talking with Terriormon.
"Kari say something tell them that we're leaving." Gatomon said.
"I can't it's rude to but in." Kari said.
"Yah but it's rude to walk away." Her parter responded.
"You're right." she said and stepped forward.
"I'm glad you guys are back together if you don't mind I have to go now." Kari said.
"Thanks for finding my partner." Henry said.
"You're welcome." Kari said shyly then remembered something Terriormon told her.
"He also mentioned about your digimons having problems digivolving." Kari said shyly.
"Yah do you know about it?" Takato asked.
"Well ummm." Kari said not sure how to explain her adventures against the digimon emperor.
"Kari" Gatomon said snapping her out of her thoughts.
"What?" She asked.
"Where we need to be is just ahead of us." The cat replied. Kari looked at her digivice.
"Right sorry we gotta go now good luck trying to digivolve." Kari said running away from them.
"No don't" Henry called after her.
"Why not? Rika asked.
"That's where Orgremon is." He replied.
"That's right and her digimon won't be able to digivolve." Takato stated. Everyone started running in the direction that Kari had left. When they got there they saw her lying on the ground and her digivice away from her. Henry ran up to her and begain shaking her. Kari woke up to see one of the tamers looking at her. "Are you ok?" Henry asked.
"I don't get it. Orgremon was one of our greatest allies when I was younger." Kari said softly remembering the times Orgemon fought along side with the digidestines.
"What?" Henry asked.
"Hey snap out of it." Rika said trying to get Kari's attention.
"Where's her partner?" Rennamon asked.
"Over there." Takato answered watching a white cat taking on the digimon. Henry helped Kari up and put one of her arm over his shoulder to keep her balanced.
"What happened to her?" Jerri asked.
"I don't know." Takato replied.
"Are you ok?" Ryo asked. Kari nodded grabbing her d- terminal. She took her arm away from Henry and fell to her knees.
"You ok?" Henry asked.
"Yah I'm just a little weak that's all." Kari said looking at her d- terminal. she looked at the map grid. She noticed a black square in the area she was in. "Gatomon I found what we're looking for let's go" Kari said getting up.
"Coming" Gatomon replied jumping off the green digimon.
"What's up?" she asked.
"We have a control spire in the area." her partner answered.
"I thought we knocked all of them down with Ken" She said.
"Me too someone is rebuilding them and we need to stop it." Kari stated.
"Anyone have a flying digimon?" She asked.
"Monodromon when he digivolves." Ryo spoke up.
"Cool can you come with me" She asked.
"Sure" Ryo answered.
"I'm going too" Henry said.
"OK" Kari said in shock.
"Don't worry it's in walking distance." Kari said.
"Wait if they go what do we do?" Rika asked.
"Don't worry we hold off the scary monster." Kenta said elbowing her.
"Whoo hoo I'm team leader." Kazu cheered.
"Hey I'm still leader." Takato stated.
"Idiots" Rika muttered to herself.
"I'll watch after Suzie and make sure they don't cause trouble." Jerri said pointing to the three boys arguing.
"Thanks we'll be back shortly." Kari said.
"Ok just hurry" Rika said.
"Don't worry we'll be back soon." Ryo said.
"Come on this way" Kari said leading the boys into the woods.
"What is that?" Henry asked seeing a huge black tower in front of them.
"The thing we need to destroy." Kari answered. As they got closer a huge lion was standing in front of the tower.
"Leomon." Kari gasped stopping in front of them.
"Don't come any closer." He warned them.
"Why not?" Ryo asked. Leomon did not answered.
"We need to take him down but our digimons can't digivolve." Henry said.
"Gatomon." kari called out pulling out her digivice.
"Ready?" She asked. The cat nodded.
"Digi..." Kari shouted before Leomon pushed her aside knocking the digivice out of her hand.
"Kari!" Henry yelled out watching her fall to the ground.
"Leave her alone." Ryo shouted throwing sticks at the lion. Once again Henry helped Kari to her feet.
"Ryo my digivice." Kari shouted to him. Ryo ran over and grabbed it before Leomon got to it.
"Kari catch" He said throwing it to her.
"Digiarmorenergize." Kari said catching her digivice.
"Gatomon armourdigivolve to... Nefertimon."
"She amour digivolved?" Henry asked.
"Yah it was created to bypass of digivolution wich the digimons couldn't with a control spire in the area." Kari explained.
"That makes sense of why our digimons couldn't digivolve." Henry answered.
"Yah try telling that to Takato" Ryo said. Kari looked at Henry who just shrugged.
"Nefertimon knock it down" Kari ordered.
"Rosetta Stones"
"That's it?" Henry asked watching the tower fall to the ground.
"Pretty much" Kari answered.
"Ok" Henry said.
"So can I digivolve?" Terriormon asked his partner. Henry looked over at Kari who nodded yes. "Ryo why don't you give it a try." Henry suggested. "Right" Ryo said taking out his digivice.
'Digimodify... Digivolution activate"
Monodromon digivolves to... Cyberdramon"
"Alright it worked." Ryo cheered.
"Great now let's get back to the others." Kari said.
"Henry who are we riding with?" Terriormon asked.
"Hmm I don't know he said.
"I personally thing go with the girl get to know her and plus the horse looks fun." Terriormon encouraged.
"Fine whatever." Henry sighed.
"Kari wait can we ride with you, Terriormon wants to do it." Henry said.
"Sure, hop on." She answered.
"Come on the others should be where we left them," Ryo said taking the lead.
~Tamers~
"He's not settling down." Takato shouted.
"Where are they?" Rika asked.
"Awww Rika misses her Ryo." Kenta teased.
"SHUT UP!" She yelled at him.
"Leave Rika alone." Jeri said.
"Ooh looks like someone's old enough to stand up for other people" Kazu cooed.
"Knock it off both of you." Takato ordered.
"Oh come on we're joking." Kenta whined.
"Rosetta stone." THe kids looked up and saw two flying digimons coming their way.
"AHHHH THEY'RE GOING TO GET US." Kazu screamed and started running.
"Relax Kazu it's only us." Henry said laughing.
"Yah you remember Cyberdramon right?" Ryo asked.
"Oh yah." Kazu said.
"The problem's fixed your digimons should be able to digivolve now." Kari informed them.
"How?" Rika asked. Before Kari could answer she noticed a black circle lying in the grass and went over to pick it up.
"No" She said softly realizing it was a dark ring.
"Kari the dark ring came off when I attacked." Nefertimon said.
"Ok so then why is Leomon still acting crazy?" Kari asked.
"Maybe there's something else in him." Her partner suggested.
"Like what a black gear" Kari asked.
"Yep" Nefertimon answered when they saw Leomon urn around.
"Don't just there get it out of him." Kari ordered.
"Rosetta stone" nothing happened.
"Great what now?" Kari asked.
"Terriormon ready to digivolve?" Henry asked his partner
"Digi- modify, Digivolution activate."
"Terriormon digivolves to Gargomon"
"How?" Rika asked again.
"There was a tower created to prevent digivolution all I did was nock it down and it killed the power." Kari answered.
"How is that possible?" Takato asked.
"It could be you would have to be smart and know computers." Ryo answered.
"After this battle would it be possible to go back there I want to look at t again." Henry said.
"Yah sure." Kari replied. While the kids were talking Nefertimon and Gargomon were in battle against Leomon and still could not get the black ring out of him. "Kari it's no use." Nerfertimon said exhaustingly.
"Now what?" Kari asked.
"I don't know." Her partner answered. Kari closed her eyes and slowly started to think.
"Kari you're digivice." Henry stated watching it glow in her hand. Kari opened her eyes and looked at it.
"I think I know what to do." She said to herself.
"Hey Leomon over here." She shouted. The lion looked over at the kids.
"Are you crazy he's coming right towards us." Kenta said. Kari held out her digivice and let the light target the digimon. She held it up until she noticed the black gear fall off and disappear. Leomon looked over at the kids.
"Are you ok?" Kari asked.
"Yes I'm fine Thank you." He answered.
"What happened?" Rika asked. As the kids were walking through the woods Leomon was telling them what was happening. He told them of all the villians the digidestines faced in the past were back and tried to control the digital world again.
"Looks like we came here just in time." Kari said as they reached the control spire.
"Whoever created it was a genius." Jeri said.
"At least there are no more around." Kari said looking on her map.
"That's good." Henry said.
"Ken would probably want to know about this." Kari said holding up the dark ring.
"What were they for?" Takato asked.
"This used to control the digimons and turn them evil along with the black gear that was in Leomon's back." Kari answered.
"That's dumb who ever did it was an idiot." Rika said.
"Or just didn't like how his life was going and it lead him down a dark path." Ryo said quickly. Kari looked over at him and nodded in agreement.
"I better email Ken and see what he's up to." Kari said pulling out her d- terminal.
Ken
I'm fine. We ran into the tamers and are now with them what about you?
Kari
Ken and the other kids had finished up their mini battle by the time Kari had email her.
"I better go and see if she's alright." Ken said.
"We'll come with you" Takuya spoke up.
"Really?" Ken asked.
"Sure" Kouji said. Zoe walked over to Ken.
"I'll go anywhere with you" She said dreamily not realizing that the other boys were staring at her.
"This is so cool I can't wait to tell my friends that we got to spend time with Ken" JP shouted wildly. Again the boys looked at him.
"I can't say I feel bad for you." Kouji said.
"It's ok I get it a lot. Not from my friends but kids at soccer games." Ken answered.
"We should see if Kari figured things out" Wormon suggested from Ken's sholder.
"Good idea let's go." Ken said and started running off with the other kids following him.
