Chapter 20
Last time: (Tommy) Takato, Ryo and Kari are in town fighting Mammothmon. Henry and his group come out in time and we all go to help. Back at Gennai's we are in the house relaxing when the whole place decides to shake and fall apart Luckily we all made it out. After sending the Mammothmon through the digiport in Shinjuku Takuya's group goes to the spot where Takato hides Guilmon. Kari, Michael, Ken and Willis try to contact his group through email but have no luck contacting Takuya's team through the D-tector. Good news Takuya was able to reach us through JP. Bad news we got cut off really fast. Hope we hear from them again
Summary: The kids walk around town in search for a way to get back to the digital world.
~Odaiba~
Davis opened a digiport which lead the group into the computer lab of the school.
"Well where's back." Tai said.
"Back in the school's computer lab." Sora said.
"Let's get out of here before we're caught." Izzy said.
"Would you all get off of me" Yolei shouted from the bottom of the pile of kids. Everyone quickly jumped up. TK walked over and helped Yolei up.
"Thanks" Yolei said.
"So now what?" Sora asked.
"I sugges we go home rest, and regroup tomorrow." Izzy said.
"Sounds like a plan." Sora said. The kids snuck out of the school and went home.
~Shinjuku~
"So now that we know we can contact the others through Takuya, what do we do?" Willis asked.
"We could search for the digital field." Takato suggested.
"I guess we could split up into three teams and walk around." Henry said.
"Tamers split up and so ill we." Takya said.
"Each of us legandary warriors and digidetine will split up as well." Kouji said.
"Right we can use cellphone for contact." Takato said.
"Or the d-terminal to email each other." Kari said.
"Right." Ken said.
"And we'll meet back here in an hour if we don't hear from anyone." Kouichi said.
"Sounds like a plan." Ryo said.
"Alright, Takuya, Ken you're with me." Takato said. The three of them got up and walked off.
"Have fun you guys." Ryo said.
"And no goofing around." Kari said
. "Don't worry i'll keep them in line." Ken said.
"So who's going next?" Henry asked.
"Well I'll go with Willis and Kouji." Ryo said.
"Then it's me, Henry, Kouichi and Michael." Kari said.
"Yep." Willis said. The rest got up and split into their group.
~Willis, Ryo and Kouji~
"Anything?" Willis asked.
"Nope." Ryo said. The three boys have been covering the center of town and so far found nothing.
"You think the others are having better luck?" Willis asked.
"Let's hope." Kouji said.
~Kari, Henry, Kouichi and Michael~
"Well nothing to report here." Kari said.
"No wait look." Kouichi said. The four had covered the area by the school. Kouich noticec a huge cloud just inside the school yard.
"Is that it?" Michael asked.
"Yah it is." Henry said. The kids ran over to the gate of the school.
"The gate's locked." Kari said.
"Hold on, we can jump over the wall." Michael said. He ran over to the wall that just as tall as he was.
"How are we supposed to climb?" Henry asked.
"It's too tall for us" Kouichi said.
"I'll lift one of you up on the wall then you can help me pull everyone else up." Michael said. Kari looked over at the other tow boys.
"He's crazy." Kari said.
"Why not let Gatomon pick the lock with her claw." Henry suggested.
"Sounds like a plan." Kouichi said.
"Let's do it." Henry said.
"Come on Michael forget the wall." Kari said. Michael backed away from the wall and ran over to the other kids.
"Gatomon can you pick the lock?" Kari asked. Gatomon nodded and started picking at the lock.
"We better contact the others." Henry said while they were waiting for the lock to be picked.
"I'll call Kouji and let him know." Kouichi said.
"And I'll call Takato." Henry said. The two boys pulled out their phones and called their friends.
~Takato, Takuya and Ken~
"Stop my phone's ringing." Takato said.
"Who is it?" Takuya asked.
"It's Henry." Takato said answering his phone. Takuya and Ken stopped and waited for Takato to hang up.
"Well?" Takuya asked, when Takato hung up.
"They found the field at the school." Takato said.
"Alright, let's go." Takuya said.
"Atleast they had better luck than we did." Ken said. The three boys had stayed in the park and kept walking around in circles looking for a way into the digital world. They ran off to meet the others at school.
~Ryo, Willis, and Kouji~
"Hold on my brother is calling me." Kouji said stopping the boys from walking around in the city. They stopped and waited for a few minutes.
"So what was that about?" Ryo asked.
"They found the field." Kouji answered.
"Where?" Willis asked.
"The school." Kouji said.
"Come on, I know the way." Ryo said.
~Kari, Henry, Kouichi and Michael~
"How's the lock picking?" Kari asked her partner.
"Almost there." Gatomon said.
"Kouji is on his way." Kouichi said.
"Same with Takato." Henry said.
"That's good." Michael said.
"Yah it is." Kari said.
"Got it." Gatomon said.
"We're in." Betamon said.
"let's go."Henry said. He lead the other three into the school yard and over to the fog.
"So the way into the digital is in that?" Michael asked.
"It should be." Henry answered.
"What if we're wrong?" Kouichi asked.
"Then we're wrong." Henry said.
"But we've called the others for nothing." Kouichi said.
"Let's just go through and see what's there." Michael said.
"So how do we get in?" Kari asked.
"Yah it's to thick to see through anything." Michael said.
"Don't worry we'll make a human chail and I'll lead. The digimons can hang on to their partners." Henry said.
"How are you going to lead us?" Michael asked.
"No worries." Henry said pulling out his sunglasses.
"I see now." Kouichi said.
"Kari, Michael" A voice called from a distant.
"Ken" Kari called back recognizing the voice.
"Hey" Ken said as he ran up to her.
"Alright you found it." Takuya said.
"Yah and it's in there?" Takato asked.
"Yep." Henry answered.
"We were about to make a human chain to go in with Henry leading the way before you guys showed up." Kari said.
"That's a good idea." Takato said.
"Where's Kouji's group?" Kouichi asked.
"Wait for us." Another voice shouted.
"Kouji" Kari, Kouichi, and Ken said together.
"Hey you guys what's happening?" Ryo asked.
"We're about to go in hat." Henry said pointing to the huge cloud of fog.
"SO how do we do that?" Koji asked "We were going to make a human chain." Kari said.
"I would be in front since i can use my sunglasses to see through it." Henry said.
"Good idea." Takuya said.
"Everyone hold hands and don't ket go." Takato said.
"Hold on who have glasses or goggles?" Kouji asked. Takuya, Takato and Henry raised their hands.
"We should go in groups instead of creating a huge chain." Kouji said.
"Kouichi, Kouji you two are with me." Takuya said.
"Kari, Ken you'rw with me." Henry said.
"Michael, Willis and Ryo are with me then." Takato said.
"So which team is going in first?" Kari asked.
"I will." Takuya said. He went in followed by Kouji, then Kouichi. Henry, Kari and Ken went in next followed by Takato, Ryo, Michael and Willis.
"Whoah." Willis said once inside the fog.
"It's nice and clear." Takuya said taking off his goggles.
"So where is it?" Willis asked.
"Did we get it wrong?" Kari asked.
"No we didn't we're right." Henry said.
"Look." Ryo said.
"A small little light was glowing in the center of the fog.
"That's it." Takato said.
"If we go, how do we get back?" Willis asked.
"We'll talk to Yamaki about it." Henry said.
"Takato I'm hungry." Guilmon said.
"Yah me too." Wormon said.
"Tired too." Gatomon said.
"I think we might need to take a rest." Takuya said.
"Will this thin be here tomorrow?" Kouji asked.
"Yah it should." Henry answered.
"Then I say we go home get some rest, meet with Yamaki and go on from there." Kouichi said.
"We can't go back to Odaiba that's hours away from here." Ken said.
"Then we'll stay here." Takato said.
"We'll just break off into groups and do a sleep over." Ryo said.
"How about the group we just had earlier." Henry sugggested.
"Sure why not." Ryo said.
"So where do we meet tomorrow?" Takuya asked.
"How about here at the school?" Takato said.
"That sounds like a plan to me." Kari said.
"Alright ten o'clock tomorrow here at the school." Henry said.
"And don't be late." Ryo said looking over at Takato and Takuya.
"Don't worry Ryo I'll make sure they're on time." Ken said.
"Think you can handle it?" Willis asked.
"Don't worry Ken can handle anything." Kari said.
"Well that's good." Michael said. Everyone said goodbye and went off in their own direction.
~Kari, Henry, Kouichi and Michael~
"Mom I'm home." Henry said as the group entered his apartment.
"Hi Henry." Mrs. Wong said.
"Hi mom" Henry said. The other three slowly followed him into the kitchen.
"Henry, who are they?" Mrs. Wong asked.
"My name's Kari and this is Michael, and Kouichi we're new friends of Henry." Kari said.
"Hi" Kouichi and Michael said.
"Is it ok if they stay here tonight?" Henry asked.
"Henry I don't know, can Takato or Rika take them?" Mrs. Wong asked.
"I'll call Takato and see what he says." Henry said.
~Takato, Ken and Takuya~
"I'm home." Takato said as the boys entered the bakery.
"Hello and who are they?" Mrs. Matzuki asked.
"Meet, Ken and Takuya, a couple of friends I met at the soccer game." Takato said.
"Hi." Takuya said.
"it's nice to meet you." Ken said.
"So I was wondering if they could sleep here for the night?" Takato asked.
"Why sure but for one night only." Mrs. Matsuki said.
"Thank you." Takato said. The phone rang and Takato jumped up for it.
"I got it." He said. Ken and Takuya looked back over at Takato's parents.
"This is a nice bakery you have" Ken said politely.
"Thank you." Mrs. Matsuki answered.
"Hello?" Takato said into the phone.
"Takato it's me Henry, look I have no room at my house, do you think you could take three more people?" Henry asked on the other line.
"Hold on I'll ask." Takato said.
"Can I have four more friends over?" Takato asked his parents.
"Sure." His parents answered.
"Yep you guys can at my place." Takato aid.
"Great we'll be right over."Henry said. Henry put down the phone.
"Henry and his group are coming over." Takato said.
"That's good. I'm email Willis to see how things are going over at Ryo's." Ken said.
Willis,
How are things with Ryo? Henry's group is coming over to Takato's place to sleep. Hope sleeping arrangements there are going well
Ken
"Well it looks like the party's over at Takato's." Willis said. "Well since you guys can sleepover we can take a few more so there more room at Takato's." Ryo said. "I'll tell Ken that." Willis said.
Ken,
Ryo can some people over at his place as well.
Willis
"Ryo has pleanty of space so we can split up." Ken said.
"So people can go to his place for the night." Takato said.
"Right we can send two." Ken said.
"Let's wait for Henry to come over and decide." Takuya said. The others nodded in agreement.
"Hey you guys." Henry said as he and his group entered the store.
"I just got an email from Ryo he said that two more people can go to his place
"Cool so who's going?" Michael asked. Kari and Kouichi looked over at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Kari and I will." Kouichi said.
"I'll go too." Henry said.
"See if Willis wants to come over here with us" Takato told Ken. He nodded and sent out the question. Willis replied with a yes.
"Hey Ken, you can come with us since Willis is coming over here." Kari said.
"It's ok I think I'll stay with Willis and Michael." Ken said.
"Then we'll fill you in tomorrow." Henry said.
"We should probably go now." Kouichi said.
"I'll go with you so I can grab Willis." Takato said. The four of them left the baker leaving the other four behind. When they got to Ryo's place, Henry, Kari, and Kouichi went in and Willis came out. When Takato, and Willis went back to the bakery, all the boys went upstairs to set up sleeping bags.
"Why did Kari, Kouichi and Henry go over there?" Willis asked.
"Kouji is Kouichi's brother and he's over there, Henry and Ryo are good friends and Kar is close friends with them." Ken explained.
"Hey Ken, why didn't you go with them?" Takuya asked.
"Why do you ask?" Ken asked.
"I don't know, you just always seem to be around them." Takuya said.
"Yah I know but I wanted to stay here, to even out the numbers and beside Michael and Willis are here, so I wanted to hang out with them for a bit." Ken answered.
"That's cool, I can't believe you guys have digidestines from America." Takuya said.
"Yah well America isn't the only place where there's digidestines." Ken said.
~Ryo's place~
"It's a good idea that the five of us decided to come over here." Kari said.
"Too bad Ken couldn't come with us." Henry said.
"He's fine over there." Kari said.
"Yah he can keep Takato and Takuya in line." Kouji said.
"Plus he's hanging out with the American digidestines." Kari said.
"That's good." Kouichi said.
"I think it's going to be harder to split off from the others." Kouichi said.
"It'll be easy as long as you three and Ken stay together Ryo and I can hang out with the others." Henry said.
"Yah that's why we hang out with you guys." Ryo said.
"Yah so we can cover for you guys." Henry said.
"That was our original plan." Kouji said.
"We probably should get some sleep." Kouichi sad.
"Yah I agree it's going to be a long day tomorrow." Kari said,
~The next day~
Everyone met up in front of the school bright and early.
"The digital field is still here." Ken said.
"I called Yamaki and asked him to meet us here." Takato said.
"What did he say?" Takuya asked.
"He said he would be here." Takato said.
"Look here he comes now." Henry said as a van pulled into the school lot.
"So you kids are heading back to the digital world?" Yamaki asked.
"Yep." The kids answered.
"So how do we get back when we're done?" Kari asked.
"I'll send Gronnie for you when you kids are done." Yamaki said.
"Gronnie?" Kari asked.
"It's this ark that took us home the first time we went." Henry answered.
"OH cool." Kari said.
"So how do we message you?" Takato asked.
"With the d-terminals." Yamaki answered.
"Huh?" Takato asked.
"We programmed them to connect with people at hypnos." Ken answered.
"When did this happen?" Ryo asked.
"Yesterday." Henry answered.
"That's cool." Kari said.
"Well you kids better get going and Good luck." Yamamki said.
"Thanks." Takato said.
"Come on you guys let's go." Takuya said. The kids went back into the fog.
"There it is." Kouji said.
"So how do we go to the digital world?" Kouichi asked.
"Like this" Ryo said reaching out to touch the small light.
"Come on it's our one way ticket to the digital world." Henry said.
"Come on let's go." Takato said. Everyone put their hands out and followed Takato to the digital world. The kids all fell into the digital world.
"Where are we?" Kari asked.
"The digital world." Takato answered. The group slowly got up and looked around.
Iit's dark here." Michael said.
"Must be nighttime" Willis said.
"Azulongmon sent me a map of where he is." Kari said looking at her d-terminal.
"Well according to the map looks like we have a long way to go." Ken said.
"What are those?" Gatomon asked seeing a pink stream move across the land.
"Data streams, go in one and it'll send you anywhere in the digital world." Terriormon answered.
"Could it take us to Azulongmon's location?" Willis asked.
"It's too risky. Last time we were here we were all separated. Beside it could take us further away from where we need to be." Henry said.
"So it's best to stay away from them." Takato.
"So what next?" Ryo asked.
"We start walking." Takuya said.
"In the middle of the night?" Michael asked.
"Sure why not." Takuya said shrugging his shoulders.
"I agree with Takuya, we should try to walk before we rest." Takato said. Everyone else nodded in agreement. The group kept walking and were starting to get tired.
"We've been walking for almost a day can we rest." Takuya whined.
"It's only been a half hour" kari said looking at the map.
"Are we close?" Gatomon asked.
"Nope." Kari answered.
"Maybe we should fly for a bit." Takuya suggested.
"Good idea." Mchael said.
"Fist we would need to rest so the digimons would have plenty of strength." Kari said.
"And we would need to see how many flying digimons we have." Ken said.
"We can do that now." Michael said.
"Alright let's set up camp here." Willis said.
"OK so from our group only cyberdramon can fly." Ryo said.
"Which will be easy because he can take us tamers." Henry said.
"Right." Takato said.
"Well I can fly." Takuya said.
"We can ride with Takuya." Kouji said.
"Kari and I will be able to ride with our partners since they can both fly." Ken said.
"We can take Michael and Willis." Kari said.
"Well that was easy." Kouichi said.
"I say we rest here for a bit then take off." Kouji said.
"Yep that sounds good." Takuya said.
"We should probably make a fire." Ken said.
"With what? We're in the middle of nowhere." Kari said.
"Right" Ken said.
"Well i think this would be a good time to get some shut eye." Michael said.
"Not all of us though." Ken said.
"Ken's right a group of us should stay away for guard duty." Takuya said. Everyone else nodded in agreement.
"So who wants the first shift?" Michael asked.
"I will." Ryo said.
"I'll join him." Kari said.
"Me too." Kouichi said. Kouji nodded agreement.
"Ken and I will stay up as well." Henry said.
"Stop" Takuya said.
"Ok that's more than half of the team. The rest of us will get some shut eye along with the digimon. Then we four will take over later." Willis said.
"We'll let you know when it's time to change positions." Kari said.
"Alright but you guys better call us." Michael said.
"Don't worry we will." Kari said.
"So I guess we should partner up and take positions." Ken said. Kari and the boys just stopped and started laughing.
"What?" Ken asked.
"Ken we planned this so we all can be together." Kari said.
"When was this planned?" Ken asked.
"Last night at Ryo's." Kouji answered.
"Yah it was great at his place." Kari said. Everyone else nodded in agreement.
"Ok so forget about Ryo's place. Let's talk about business." Ken said.
"Right." Henry said.
"So where do we begin?" Ryo asked.
"Well facing the undersea master is bound to happen." Kari said.
"Yah along with our old enimies from the past." Henry said.
"The fact that they're stronger than before." Ryo said.
"Which means we need to get stronger as well." Ken said.
"But how?" Kouji asked.
"Maybe Azulongmon will help us." Kouichi said.
"You think?" Kari asked.
"He is pretty powerful so he should be able to." Henry said.
"I guess so." Kari said yawning.
"I guess we should turn in now and let the other four take over." Ken said. The others nodded in agreement.
"I'll let Takuya know." Ken said.
"Good luck." Kari said. She and the other four took a spot on the ground near the sleeping digimon and fell asleep. Ken walked over to the other four boys and easily woke up Willis and Michael for guard duty. Ken then looked over at Takuya and Takato who were sleeping peacefully. He went over and kicked Takato in the feet. He kicked gently then harder until he woke up.
"What?!" Takato screamed waking up both him and Takuya.
1"What's going on?" Takuya asked sitting up.
"It's your turn for guard duty." Ken said.
"Great. Thanks for telling us." Takuya said. Ken smiled then went over to the others and sleep.
~The next day~
The kids and the digimon woke up early and were now trying to figure out where to go.
"We have quite a distants to go." Kari said looking at her map from the d-terminal.
"Guess we should start flying then." Ken said.
"Well I guess we should start getting ready then." Takuya said.
"You digimon ready to fly?" Kari asked. All the digimon nodded.
"Then let's do this." Kouji said. All the digimon that could fly digivolved including Takuya. He took Kouji and Kouichi. Kari took Willis and the twins. Ken had Michael and his partner. cyberdramon took henry, Takato, Terriormon and Guilmon.
"Alright lead the way." BurningGreymon told Kari.
"Right this way." Kari said.
~Odaiba~
Tk was at his apartment eating with Patamon when a knock came from the door. TK got up and opened the door. He saw Yolei stading in the doorway holding Poromon.
"Hey Yolei come in." TK said. She walked into the house and stood in the kitchen. TK cleaned up his spot from the table.
"Do you want anything to drink?" TK offered.
"No thanks." Yolei said.
"You hungry at all?" He asked.
"Sure I guess so." Yolei said. Tk grabbed a bag of chips and dumped it into two bowls. He put one bowl in front of Patamon who began to eat it. Poromon flew up to the table and started eating the chips as well. TK took the other bowl over to the couch and placed it on the coffee table. He sat on one side of the couch and motioned Yolei to come over with his hand. Yolei walked over to the couch and sat next to TK.
"So what is it you wanted to talk about?" TK asked.
Chapter done, looks like something is going on between Yolei and TK.
