Last time, after learning about their current situation, the adults were planning to leave their children in the care of others while they go rescue their friends and family. However, Musuko and the other kids refused to stand around and do nothing. That is why they decided to sneak away and depart in the adults' place. Now with them riding in CannonBeemon, the children set out on a brand new adventure and to rescue their parents. A new adventure begins now.

With faith in ourselves

And trust in each other

We live by the lessons we learn

As we work towards one solution

Through Digivolution

If we're all for one world

There's one for us all

I am the one

I am the one

Secure the Stone

"Wow, this place is cool." Musuko said as he had a look around the inside of CannonBeemon. It looked the inside of a battleship as CannonBeemon was flying through hyperspace. "Is this thing really a digimon?"

"Indeed. CannonBeemon is an ultimate digimon. It will be able to help you on your travels." Oikawa said. "CannonBeemon has been given the ability to travel through space and be able to move around in the Digital World much faster."

"The Digital World?! I thought you were taking us to rescue our parents!" Mason said.

"Aren't we going to save them?" Palmon questioned.

"You will in time, but you must defeat the Dark Masters first." Oikawa said. "What happens from here shall be your destiny. Only you can forge it now." That was all he said before the butterflies broke apart and he left them.

"Wait! Come back! We don't know what to do!" Benson called, but it was too late and he was already gone. "Now what? Are we not going to rescue our parents?"

"Musuko, aren't we going to save Mom?" Koji asked.

"We are. I don't care what Oikawa says. We're rescuing our parents." Musuko said as that was their top mission.

"We'll, whatever we're doing is happening soon. Looks like the end is coming up." Biyomon alerted. They all saw a light coming up and they had to ready themselves for anything.

...

The Adults

Meanwhile, somewhere in hyperspace. The lair of the Dark Masters continued to roam around the place. Tai and the others stayed as their captives. The Dark Masters took the whole house with them, but they were trapped in a barrier and couldn't escape.

"No good. I checked everywhere. We're sealed in here tight." Matt said. "There just doesn't appear to be a way out."

"At least we've got food, comfort, and they even allowed us access to water." T.K. claimed. "I am worried about Patamon and the other digimon. Do you think they're all okay?"

"That's just something we have to believe." Tai said.

"But how could something like this happened?" Sora questioned. "I thought the Dark Masters were gone forever. How is it they're still around?"

"What do they even want with us?" Kari questioned.

"I don't know, but we're not sticking around to find out. There's got to be a way out of here." Joe said.

"What's the matter? Don't like our hospitality?" All of them looked and saw that Piedmon just let himself in. Without their digimon, they have to be extra careful to around the likes of him. "It's just so good to see all of you again. You've all grown so much."

"We've beaten you before, Piedmon. How did you and the other Dark Masters come back?" Tai questioned.

"Does the reboot mean anything to you?" Piedmon said. That word brought back some bad memories for them all. The reboot was an event that reset the entire Digital World. The whole thing caused their partners to lose their memories, but it seems to have brought back their old enemies as well. "That's right. When the reboot happened, the four of us were revived. Besides, digimon never actually die. Even our digital data is reconfigured and we are reborn, but we were fortunate enough to have our memories restored as well.you may have thought you've seen the last of us, but we have been revived and we are now stronger than ever so that we may have our revenge."

"Well? You have us. If you want revenge, why not come and get it right now?" Tai taunted.

"Tai, can you please not taunt the psychotic clown?" Joe pleaded.

"We will, but now is not the time or the place." Piedmon said. "We need the right of you for something else. So, make yourselves comfortable until then. You can't really go anywhere."

"We're not afraid of you, Piedmon." Tai said.

"And what are you going to do about it? You don't have your digimon to help you out this time." Piedmon taunted and he was right. "You were able to defeat us because you had your digimon partners. We made sure to leave them behind. Without them, you are just regular humans. You can't possibly match the power of us digimon." As much as they hated to admit it, he was right. Without Agumon and the others, there isn't much they can do. "Now get comfortable. Your last days will soon be upon you." He claimed as he turned around and left them where they are. They're trapped and it seems like there is no way out.

...

The Digidestined

As for Musuko and the kids, they were arriving where they needed to be. CannonBeemon emerged through the gate and they found themselves over the a forest in the Digital World.

"It looks like we made it, wherever where it is we are." Benson said.

"But what are we suppose to do? How are we going to find our parents?" Natalie questioned.

"We'll find them, Natalie." Biyomon assured.

"Besides, if we came here, these Dark Masters can't be too far." Patamon said. "There must be some reason we ended up here." They all weren't sure what they were going to do, but that was when a large screen apparatus over them.

"What is this?" Musuko questioned.

"I think CannonBeemon is trying to show us what it sees." Palmon said.

"Guys, look!" Gatomon pointed out as they could see it now. A blue digimon was being chased through the forest. The digimon kept in running as she made sure a small bag in her hands was secured. However, a blast came at her and hit the ground near her to cause her to trip.

"Give up, Ranamon! Submit to his will!" The digimon known as Ranamon looked behind her and saw a couple Knightmon.

"Never!" Ranamon said as she tried to keep the bag safe.

"There is no defying his will. If you will not submit, you shall be punished." Knightmon claimed as they were ready to attack her. Before they could, AeroVeedramon came flying in and knocked both of them away.

"Don't you know it's rude to attack a lady?" AeroVeedramon said as the four five ultimate digimon gathered around Ranamon to protect her.

"More rebels? You shall pay for your disobedience!"

"Wait! There are too many of them and not enough of us. Let us not be foolish." Both of the Knightmon fell back and retreated, so Ranamon always safe for now, but she was most confused. As the five digimon reverted back to normal, the children came out and hurried to Ranamon.

"Are you okay?" Musuko asked as he offered his hand.

"I believe so." Ranamon claimed, still confused yet took his hand to get back up. "Thank you, but who are you? Are you...human children?"

"We are. We saw you were in trouble and had to help." Mason said.

"What's your name?" Koji asked

"I'm something like a mistress of the sea. My name is Ranamon. If you're humans, I take it you don't work for the likes of Mercurymon?" Ranamon questioned.

"Mercurymon? Never heard of him." Natalie said. "Who is that?"

"Why were those two after you?" Biyomon questioned.

"And do you have goodies in that bag you're holding?" Veemon questioned.

"Don't bombard her with questions." Gatomon said. "We were glad to help you, but could you tell us what's going on? Please start from the beginning."

"I take it you're not from around here. So, you don't know what's been going on." Ranamon said. "Well, those two Knightmon serve a tyrannical digimon named Mercurymon."

"Tyrannical? What does that mean?" Mason questioned.

"It's like he's a mean king." Gatomon simplified.

"This land was once a peaceful place. We digimon lived with little problems." Ranamon claimed. "That all changed when Mercurymon and his forces came and took over. Many digimon were captured and he forces them to fight for his own amusement."

"That sounds awful!" Koji said as they all hated how that sounded.

"It is. In fact one of my closest friends, Vajramon, was captured." Ranamon claimed. "That's why I need to get this to him." Ranamon took what was in the bag and revealed a glowing yellow sphere. It was like a beautiful jewel. All of the kids loved it.

"Wow! That looks amazing!" Biyomon said.

"It's so pretty!" Palmon said.

"Not only that, but look at what's engraved on it!" Benson said as he noticed something unreal. "It has the crest of hope on it, my father's crest!" They all couldn't believe that stone had the same crest Benson and his father hold.

"So the symbol on this means "hope", does it? That's good to know." Ranamon said. "This stone holds incredible power. If one uses it, they can become greatly powerful. Combine it with a weapon and it could become one of the most powerful weapons there is."

"That little thing really holds that much power?" Mason questioned.

"Is that what those guys were after?" Natalie questioned.

"I don't know if Mercurymon is aware of this, but he can't get it." Ranamon said. "I was planning to get this to Vajramon. I was spying on them, looking for a way to get this to him, when they spotted me and chased after me. If I can get this to Vajramon, we can defeat Mercurymon and free everyone he's imprisoned."

"This all sounds really bad. Musuko, isn't there something we can do to help?" Koji asked.

"I like to, but we have our own problem to deal with." Musuko said. "We need to find our parents and rescue them from these Dark Masters."

"I thank you for wanting to help, but this isn't your fight." Ranamon said. "I have to figure out how to get this to Vajramon inside Mercurymon's coliseum, which also acts as his prison." They all hate to leave Ranamon hanging like this, but they have their own problems to deal with.

"We're sorry, Ranamon. We wish we could help, but we have to save our parents from the Dark Masters." Benson said.

"Did someone say our name?"

"It looks like we got new friends to play with." All of them turned around and were now faced with two of the Dark Masters for the first time: MetalSeadramon and Puppetmon.

"Who are you two" Koji asked.

"You two must be members of these Dark Masters!" Gatomon said.

"It's nice to see our reputation proceeds us after all these years." MetalSeadramon said. "Now get out of our way!"

"Not until you give us back our parents!" Musuko demanded.

"Parents?" Puppetmon questioned.

"We might be kids, but we're in no mood to play! Let's get them!" Musuko said as he and the other kids were ready to fight.

"Veemon digivolve to...Veedramon!"

"Veedramon digivolve to...AeroVeedramon!"

"Patamon digivolve to...Angemon!"

"Angemon digivolve to...MagnaAngemon!"

"Palmon digivolve to...Togemon!"

"Togemon digivolve to...Lillymon!"

"Biyomon digivolve to...Birdramon!"

"Birdramon digivolve to... Garudamon!"

"Gatomon digivolve to...Angewomon!"

All of their digimon digivolved with them charging right at the two, but the two Dark Masters weren't the least bit worried.

"What a joke! Take this!" MetalSeadramon called as he fired an energy blast and hit the bigger digimon. Puppetmon used his mallet and attacked by firing a series of bullets from it. The two of them were able to defeat all five of them quite easily as they were all knocked down.

"No way! They beat them all so easily!" Natalie said as they were shocked their digimon would go down like that.

"Playtime is over, kids. We're here for one thing. Give us that stone!" MetalSeadramon demanded. They're after the stone that Ranamon has? First, they take their parents. Now they want this greatly powerful stone? The kids are dealing with one dangerous force. How are they getting out of this one?

...

Next time, the kids managed to escape from the Dark Masters, but now they have two problems to deal with. They must figure out how to free their parents and Mercurymon's prisoners. Maybe there's a way to do both.

Next time: Two Birds, One Stone
