Chapter 7
Last time: (Yolei) After Kari, Ken and the twins went through the ground the rest of us ended up splitting up and going our own ways. Each group ended up in their own little battle. The four kids returned just in time to help the tamers and the legendary warriors. Kari wen with the tamers and found a control spire. Ken went with the twins and helped out the legendary warriors in their battle. Now we all need to find a way to regroup and come up with a plan.
Summary: Kari, Ken, tamers and the legendary warriors regroup and head to Gennei's where the other digidestines are. Are they happy with the other kids tagging along.
~Digidestines~
The digidestines had finished up their own little battle against Devimon and were now walking in the woods figuring out what to do next.
"Ok let's go find Kari and Ken" Tai said.
"No we can't they said not to." Cody said stopping him.
"Cody's right Tai we have no way of getting to them." Sora said.
"So then what do we do?" He asked.
"Why don't we go to Gennei's and see what to do from there. We can email them and tell them to meet us there and that way we can we join together as a group." Joe suggested.
"Good idea Kari should know how to get there." Izzy said.
"And if she doesn't?" Matt asked.
"I'll just send her a map." Izzy answered. The group started walking towards Gennei's. Within an hour they reached the special underwater house.
"Gennei hello are home?" Tai called out.
"I'm here what is it?" He asked.
"Mind if we stay here for a bit we're waiting for Ken and Kari to return." Matt asked.
"Oh yes sure where are they?" Gennei asked leading the kids inside.
"Well they were sucked into the ground with two other boys and landed in the dark ocean.
"We don't even know if they're back yet or not." TK explained. The older kids and TK followed Gennei slowly while Davis, Yolei and Cody were amazed at the place.
"This is amazing" Yolei breathed.
"Why don't you kids go wash up and meet n the dining area. I'll email Kari and let her know where you guys are." Gennai said leading the kids into the house. "Thanks." The kids said together before heading off to the bathrooms. Genei went to his computer and quickly made an email and sent it to Kari.
Kari
Hope you're ok the others are at my place come over when you and Ken return.
Gennei
Kari was still with the tamers talking to them when she received the email.
"I have to go now" She said sadly.
"Why?" Jeri asked.
"I have to find Ken and meet my friends" Kari answered.
"So you're gonna leave us here alone?" Rika asked.
"You guys can come if you want but I'm not sure if the others will like it." Kari answered nervously.
"We'll take our chances" Rika answered.
"Actually I'm ok not going" Kenta said nervously.
"YOU'RE GOING" Rika yelled at them.
"Ok we're coming" Kenta said quickly.
"I better email Ken and see where he is?" Kari said stopping the group in their track.
Ken,
We're done the others are at Gennei's let me know where you are so we can meet up and go to the others
Kari
Ken read the email silently
"Gennei has a place of his own?" He asked quietly. "What was that?" Kouji asked.
"Nothing I have to go meet with Kari" He answered quickly.
"Great we'll come with you." Kouichi said.
"Ok let's go I'll email her along the way." Ken said and the group started walking.
Kari,
let's meet in the woods put you're signal on so I can find you
Ken
"Looks like Ken's done as well." Kari said stopping the group to read the email.
"Where are we meeting him?" Jeri asked.
"In the woods I'll put my signal on" Kari said letting the red dot flash on her digivice.
"I'm bored let's go play" Calumon said.
"Not right now we're busy" Jeri told him. Calumon sat in her arms for a few minutes then jumped out of her arms with excitement.
"Tag you're it" Calumon said tagging Guilmon and started running off into the woods.
"Calumon come back here" Rika ordered.
"Guilmon get back here" Takato ordered running off after his partner.
"Takato come back" Henry called after him.
"We better follow" Kari spoke up to the others. The others nodded in agreement and followed after them.
~Ken and the frontier kids~
"I got a signal on Kari" Ken said looking at his digivice.
"Yah and it's moving pretty fast." Kouji pointed out.
"It's also coming in our direction." Kouichi said.
"Let's go" Takuya ordered. The group started running in the direction of the dot.
~Kari and the Tamers~
"Looks like Ken's moving too" Kari said seeing his signal moving along the screen.
The two groups continued running towards each other until...
CRASH
A pile of kids and digimons were now on the ground of the forest. A few groans were heard here and there among the group Ken who was on top of the stack, was the first one to get up and slowly started helping the others. After five minutes of everyone getting up to their feet and tripping over each other the group was finally settled.
"So Kari you said the others were at Gennei right?" Ken asked for clarification.
"Yep" Kari answered.
"Do you know how to get there?" He asked.
"Yah I've been there before if not I'll email Izzy for a map." Kari answered.
"Great then let's go" Ken said.
"Ken what about them?" Kari asked pointing to the tamers and other digidestines.
"Well I don't, know should we bring them?" he asked.
"Tai and the others would get mad if we do" Kari said.
"Well we can't let them wonder around i the digital world." He said.
"Well then I guess we should let them tag alone" She sighed.
"Sounds like the best thing we can do for now" He said.
"And if the others get mad?" She asked.
"We'll defend them we've seen what the digidestines can do and you know what the tamers abilities are" Ken said.
"So I guess they're coming with us?" Kari asked. Ken nodded in agreement.
"Ok you guys are coming with us" He announced.
"We're are we going?" Henry asked.
"To meet with our group." Kari answered.
"Where are they?" Takuya asked.
"At a friends house." Ken answered. Kari took out her d- terminal and looked at the map.
"Well I can say it's not walking distance." Kari said looking at the map.
"But it is flying distance" Ken said.
"How many of you guys have digimon that can fly in their champion form?" Kari asked.
"Well we have Stingmon and Nerfiirtimon from our group" Ken said.
"Tamers?" Kari asked.
"Gardromon and Cyberdtamon" Takato answered.
"Rennamon has her own way of getting there so don't worry about her" Rika added.
"What about your group?" Ken asked Takuya.
"JP and Zoe" He answered.
"That's six flying digimon" Kari noted.
"They might not be able to carry everyone" Ken pointed.
"Anyone have a digimon that digivolves into something huge and can still fly?" Ken asked.
"Kouji" Takuya's group answered at once.
"Well think you can carry all of us?" Ken asked.
"Yep" Kouji answered.
"I'll go with Nefertimon so I can lead the way" Kari spoke up.
"I'll take Stingmon as well anyone can fly with us if they want" Ken said.
"I'll go with Kari" Rika spoke up.
"I'll fly with Ken" Tommy announced.
"We can take Gardrumon" Kenta said pointing to him and Kazu.
"Ok settled" Ken answered.
"Right digimons that need to digivolve should do it now." Kari said. All the digimons did as told. Kari climbed on Nefertimon with Rika behind her. Calumon jumped in front of Kari. Ken took Tommy, Naemon and Bokomon. And Kouji took he rest of the group.
"After taking off Kari quickly sent an email to Izzy.
Izzy,
We're on our way bringin the others as well
Kari.
"WHAT?!" Tai yelled.
"What's wrong?" Sora asked.
"Kari and Ken are coming and they're bringing those other kids along as well." Tai complained.
"So?" Matt sighed.
"So how do we know if we can trust them or not?" Tai asked.
"They're digidestines like isn't that enough proof?" Joe stated.
"Yah how do they know? Maybe they're really evil digimon in disguised trying to get rid of us" Tai went on.
"Tai" Izzy interrupted.
"I don't trust them with Kari or Ken they could have hurt them by now and it would be all my fault." Tai explained.
"Tai ok first of all they have digivices and second of all Kari's grown up she can handle herself. And third STOP WORRYING YOU'RE GIVING US A HEADACHE" Izzy said.
"Ok ok I'll stop" Tai sighed. "Izzy email Kari and let her knw we're waiting" Joe ordered. Izzy nodded and created the email.
Kari
We're waiting you and Ken be safe
Izzy
"They're waiting for us" Kari told Ken.
"Great when do we land?" Ken asked. The group flew was coming up across a beach.
"Now" Kari answered as nefertimon landed on the beach . The others followed.
"Great we're at a beach" Kouji said.
"Is there a reason why?" Henry asked. Kari didn't answer. She was too bury email Gennei, letting him know they were here.
"Kari yoo hoo" Wormon called out trying to get her attention. She was to busy staring at the water.
"Kari?" Ken asked.
"Just wait" She answered. Ken didn't say anything and just stood next to her. After a few minutes of sitting around, the water started to open up revealing staircases and creating a wall.
"Whoah" Takuya said. Kari started down the staircase with the others following behind her.
"So how do you know about this place?" Ken asked walking next to her.
"You met Gennei right?" She asked him.
"Yah he helped us with the world tour." He replied.
"Well he has a house under water and that's where the others are." She replied.
"Who is this gennei?" Henry asked walking on the other side of Kari.
"He's not digimon but he's not human as well. He helps the digidestines and I on several missions in the past." Kari explained.
"Cool" Henry answered. When the group reached the bottom of the stairs they saw a huge house in front of them.
"Gennei lives in there?" Ken asked. Kari slowly nodded.
"That's one big house for some one who lives alone." Rika said.
"It's beautiful" Zoe commented.
"Gennei we're here" Kari called out.
"Gennei came out of the house to greet them.
"Still young like before." Ken commented.
"Thank you Ken welcome everyone else is inside." Gennei said leading the others in. He lead them to a large room with a huge table in the center. The others kids were sitting around talking to each other. Sora looked up and was the first to notice the rest of the group in the doorway.
"Kari, Ken you guys made it back" She said making everyone else in the room look up.
"And you brought the other groups." Tai said nervously.
"Yah we didn't want them hanging around out there." Kari answered. Tai frowned.
"Are you mad?" Kari asked.
"YOU BROUGHT THEM KARI" Tai yelled.
"What's wrong with that?" Ken asked.
"How do you know we can trust them. We hardly know them you shouldn't have brought them here." Tai said angrily.
"Tai they're digidestines like us. They have digivices and one groups has digimon partners." Ken said.
"Fine they can stay but the others have to leave." Tai said pointing to Takuya and his friends.
"No" Kari answered as the group was ready to leave.
"What?" Tai asked.
"They're not leaving. Even though they don't have digimon partners, they're still able to help us fight." Kari continued.
"How? They don't have digimons." Mimi asked.
"They don't need digimons they have their own way of joining in the fights, Ken and I saw it. They're pretty powerful." Kari finished.
"She's telling the truth Tai. I saw it a few times myself. It's amazing when you find out." Ken said.
"Fine they can all stay but that doesn't mean we let out guards down on them" Tai said. Kari smiled a thank you at her brother. The kids separated and scattered around the house. Kazu, Kenta, Jerry and Rika stayed in the room playing the digimon card game, Henry and his sister went outside and hung out in one of the gardens, Takato was with Takuya, and Davis playing a little soccer, Ryo and Ken hung out together catching up on the past, Zoe was asking Yolei all sorts of questions of hanging out with Ken, JP, Kouji, Kouichi and Tommy were learning some basket ball tricks from TK, Cody and Izzy hung out together on the computer, Joe was sitting in the corner of the room reading and catching up on school work, Mimi and Sora were talking about boys, Matt and Tai were walking around checikng up on everyone and Kari was roaming around the building alone. She walked passed a doorway and noticed Henry leaning against it watching his sister playing in the gardens. She also noticed Terriormon and Lopmon playing beside her. Seeing them together reminded her of meeting Willis in New York when she and TK were visiting TK. Kari hasn't been emailing him that much. The last email she got from him was that he was back in New York and his two digimons were fine. Henry turned around to see her watching.
"Sorry I was distacted for a bit." Kari said quickly and was about to run away when Henry grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back.
"You can stay here if you want" He said.
"Oh" Kari replied and sat on the steps of the doorway. Henry walked over and sat down next to her. The two remained silent for a few minutes watching Suzie playing with the digimons.
"Thanks for sticking up for us back there." Henry said finally breaking the silence.
"No problem. I've seen what your group can do and what the others can. I do think that you'll be able to help us." Kari answered.
"Your brother doesn't seem to think so." Henry said.
"Don't worry about him he just trust anyone outside of our group. Give it time. And beside if any of them try to get rid of you just know that Ken and I have your backs." Kari stated.
"Thanks what you did was awesome as well. But you haven't seen everything there more my didimon can do." Kari said.
"And there's more that our digimons can do as well." Henry said. The continue to talk and get to know each other.
"Kari" a voice called from behind. They turned a round to see Ken standing behind them.
"What's up?" Kari asked.
"We need to see Gennei before the meteting" Ken said panting. He had just ran around looking for her.
"Help me find the twins." He said.
"Sure. I gotta go. Nice talking to you." Kari told Henry getting up.
"Sure I'll save you a seat at the meeting and maybe hang out some more afterwards." Henry suggested.
"OK. Gatomon let's go" Kari said. Gatomon jumped away from the other two digimons and went right over to her partner.
"Ken you go inside and search for the twins I'll search the outside" She suggested.
"I can help" Henry said suddenly standing up. Kari looked over at Ken to see what he thinks.
"Sure why not but he goes with you" Ken answered.
"Suzie will you be fine alone I have to go do something?" Henry asked.
"Don't worry. I'll have Terriiermon and lopmon to look after me." Suzie answered.
"Terriormon hear that look after her" Henry told his partner. His parner looked over at him and nodded.
"I'll stay and help" Gatomon suggested who was now in Kari's arm.
"Ok" Kari said letting go of her partner.
"Wormon do you want to stay?" Ken asked his partner who was on his shoulder.
"If you don't mind." He answered.
"Not at all" Ken replied putting his partner on the ground. The two digimons ran over to join in with the others. The kids watched their digimons playing and smiled. Beep. Beep. Kari's d- terminal went off.
"An alert from Gennei" She said.
"Yah it says Ryo and Henry should come along as well." Ken said.
"Well Henry's already with us.
"I'll go find Ryo." Ken said.
"He's probably in the room where we were earlier playing cards with Kenta and Kazu" Henry said.
"Thanks. I'll check there first then go search for the twins" Ken said then walked back in.
"Come on let's go this way" Kari told Henry going in the opposite direction.
~Ken~
Ken was walking down the hallway until he reached the room that the kids were in earlier. He opened the siding door and saw Ryo with Kazu and Kenta sitting at a low table holding cards in their hands.
"Hey Ken" Kenta said looking up from his hand of cards. Kazu and Ryo turned around to see him standing in the doorway.
"Ken come join us" Kazu offered.
"No thanks I just came here for Ryo Gennei needs to talk to us." Ken said.
"Ok" Ryo answered throwing his cards back into the pile then getting up from the table. As the two boys left Kenta and Kazu were fighting each other for the cards.
~Kari and Henry~
"So what's the deal with your brother? It seems like he doesn't want any of us to be friends with your group." Henry asked.
"Tai is the leader of our group so he protects us whenever he can especially me. The older kids help us younger group when times get hard from their experience three years ago. TK and I were eight and my brother hand his friends were around our age when they first when to the digital world. I was sick when they went to summer camp and missed all the craziness but later joined the group and met my partner Gatomon." Kari explained.
"That's a bit crazy" Henry commented. Kari nodded in agreement.
"So you left the original group and joined a new group?" He asked.
"No we're still a team. The older kids don't come as often as they used to . TK and I joined a new group of kids. THe older kids come whenever they can to help or when we really need them." Kari answered.
"No wonder why your group is huge." Henry replied. The two ended up near an area of the field with hoops on each end. They noticed a group of kids playing and Kouichi in the bunch.
"Kouichi" Kari called out. Everyone stopped and turned towards her. Kouichi dropped the ball and ran over to her.
"What's up?" He asked.
"Gennei needs us before the meeting" She told him.
"Ok let's go" He said and the three ran off togther.
"That was weird." TK told JP who were watching the scene from a distance. JP nodded in agreement and the turn returned to their game.
~Ken and Ryo~
"So where do you think Kouji would be?" Ken asked Ryo.
"I don't know right there?" He answered seeing Kouji sitting alone by the window in the hallway.
"Kouji" Ken called out to him.
"Oh hi" He said looking up at them.
"Is everything ok?' Ryo asked.
"Yah just need time to think" Kouji answered.
"About?" Ryo asked.
"It's not important" Kouji answered.
"Well come on Kair, Henry and your brother are waiting for. Gennai wants to talk with us before the meeting." Ken said.
"Alright let's go" Kouji said standing up. The three boys walked to the meeting room together. They opened the door and found Kari, Kouichi, and Henry waiting for them.
"Hey you guys" Kari said looking up.
"Hey where are your partner?" Kouji asked.
"They're with Suzie outside" Henry answered.
"So I'm the only digimon here?" Monodramon asked.
"Pretty much" Ryo answered.
"Your partners should be with ou guys." Gennai said walking into the room.
"I'll go get them, then bring Suzie to Rika and Jeri" Kari suggested.
"Are you sure?" Henry asked.
"No problem I've been here before so I know my way around. I'll be back in a sec" Kari said and ran off. She went to the spot where she was with Henry earlier and found Suzie playing with the digimons. Kri stood there and took a deep breath before entering.
"Suzie" She called out to the little girl. She turned around and looked at Kari.
"Hey look your brother is busy so he asked me to bring you one of the other girls is that alright?" Kari asked.
"Ok" Suzie answered.
"Gaomon take wormon and Terriormon to the room we came in when we first got to the house." Kari ordered.
"Right come on" She said and lead the digimons inside. Kari walked with Suzie back inside. The two wondered around until she saw Jeri and Rika together. "Jeri, Rika" Kari called out running up to them.
"Kari what's up?" Jri asked.
"Can you guys watch Suzie? Henry asked me to watch her when he left but I need to do something as well." Kari explained.
"Ok" Jeri answered.
"Great thanks bye" Kari said and ran off in the other direction.
"Kari" Rika called after her.
"Come on Suzie let's play with some of the other girls" Jeri said.
"That girl is weird." Rika said.
"Who Kari? I like her she seems really nice." Jeri said.
"Yah she seems to treat everyone nicely it bothers me." Rika said.
"C'mon she stuck up for us remember when her brother tried to get rid of us and she helped our digimons to digievole again" Jeri said.
"You're right Jeri maybe I should just get to know her better." Rika sighed.
~With Gennai~
The boys were waiting for Kari while Gennai was wondering around the room.
"Maybe I've should have gone with her" Henry said.
"Don't worry about it Kari is a good person. She has a personality that makes her friends with everybody." Ken assured him. Soon the sliding door opened and in popped the digimons.
"Where's Kari?" Ken asked.
"She's with Suzied don't worry." Terriormon answered. A few minutes later the door opened agained. They saw Kari leaning against the door panting. Ken got up and helped Kari over to the table.
"I brought Suzie to Rika and Jeri but had to run before they started giving me too many questions." Kari said.
"God now we can talk" Gennai said.
"About what?" Kouji asked.
"Well first give me your digivices and anything else that you kids use. The kids stopped unsure if they should trust him or not. Kari was the first to talke out her digivice and d- terminal and give it to Gennei. Ken saw her doing this and gave in his.
"Don't worry you guys can trust him" Ken spoke up. Henry was the first of the four remaining boys to hand in his digivice. Genni still held his hand out at him. "He wants the cards as well Henry" Kari said.
"Cards?" Ken, and the twins asked. Henry handed his deck of cards to Gennai.
"It helps our digimons fight" Ryo quickly explained. Ryo handed in his things next. Kouji and Kouichi were the last to hand in theirs.
"I'll examine them and give them back to you guys later." Gennai said putting them in a box. The kids watched him lock the box.
"Ok now down to business" He said looking at Kari.
"Ken and I went to the dark ocean again." Kari stated.
"Kouji and Kouichi came along with us" Ken added.
"What did they want?" Gennai asked.
"We're not sure they attacked before they could tell us anything." Kari answered.
"It was weird they kept calling her their queen" Ken said.
"Really when did this start?" Gennai asked.
"The first time I went, I was way back when Ken was the digimon emperor and we just learned about the black rings and control spires." Kari answered.
"So that's when you went" Ken said.
"Didn't you go with her then?" Kouji asked.
"Nope I went a few years ago. That's where I met Ryo." Ken said.
"So that's what you meant when you said you'd hope Ken would remember you." Henry said. Ryo nodded a yes.
"OK we talk about this later but right now we have work to do." Gennai said butting in.
"There will be times when you six will separate from the others o go on your own mission." He stated.
"When?" Kouichi asked.
"You'll know when" Gennai answered.
"So we'll be splitting from the others time to time?" Kouji asked.
"So do we tell the others?" Kouichi asked.
"That's for you six to decide." Gennai said left the room.
