Chapter 18
Last time: (Yolei) While battling an evil digimon Puppetmon, the digimons were easily defeated. Puppetmon then smashed his hammer separating the tamers and legendary wariors from the digidestines including Ken and Kari. The kids land in a cave with no way out. Kari calls Michael and Willis to come and help her the others, which they were easily able to. Next they met Pixiemon who gave a few of us kids including me an assignment that involves a lot of traveling after helping him clean his house. Anyways they went though this digiport, not knowing where it'll take them. Good luck you guys.
Summary: The group returns to Earth and deal with the digimon there.
~Kids~
"The digiport opened and a group of kids and digimon went flying out of the computer.
"Ow my head." Takuya said rubbing the back of his head.
"Where are we?" Kouji asked looking around. The kids got up and looked around.
"We're back in my room." Kari said.
"Come on you guys we better grab your thing from the hotel." Ken said.
"Right" Kari said. She opened the door and stepped out of her room.
"There here get them." A man said in a dark coat.
What's happening?" Kari asked as another man came forward and grabbed her. "
Hey what's going on?" Henry asked as more men came forward and grabbed the kids. The digimons called out to their partners.
"Who are you guys?" Kouji asked.
"Let us go." Ryo demanded.
"Don''t forget the digimon." A man said. The kids and digimon were carried out to a black van in the parking lot and thrown into the back.
"Where are we going?" Kari asked.
"Don't worry you kids are safe." A man said.
"Mr. Wong?" Takato said.
"Takato, Henry, Ryo. should have known you three would be in this group." Mr. Wong said.
"If you guys know each other then why are we all tied up like a pretzel?" Kouji asked.
"I'm sorry about that." Mr. Wong said.
"Everyone this is my dad. Dad this is Takuya, Kouji, Kouichi, Kari, Gatomon, Ken, Wormon, Michael, Terriormon and Cocomon, Michael and his partner Betamon." Henry said. "It's nice to meet you." Kari said.
"Dad what's going on?" Henry asked. "
We got a message from the digital world." Mr. Wong said.
"From who?" Takato asked.
"We're not sure." Mr. Wong answered. Something soon beeped in the van.
"That's my d-terminal, can you untie us now?" Kari said quickly. Mr. Wong helped Henry and the other tamers free. Then they went and helped the others. Kari opened her d-terminal and read the message.
"Who's it from?" Ken asked.
"It's from Azulongmon. He wants us to meet him in the land of the sovereign." Kari answered.
"Land of the sovereign? Michael asked.
"Where's that?" Willis asked.
"Why does he want to meet with us?" Ken asked.
"It didn't say." Kari answered.
"Well you guys I think we just discovered the first part of our mission." Takuya said.
"Right but first we have to figure out how to get there." Kouji said.
"The land of the sovereigns is in the digital world that we've been to." Henry said.
"How do we get there?" Kouichi said.
"That's the thing we've only been there once." Ryo said.
"How do we get there?" Takuya asked.
"We found a digital field in Guilmon's hide out in the park but I'm not sure if it's still there." Takato said.
"Then let's go back and check it out." Ken said.
"Before you do that, Takato, you and Ryo will go to your houses and Rika's to let your parents know you're ok, Henry you and the others will come with me to Hypnos." Mr. Wong said.
"Right." Takato and Ryo said as the van pulled into a parking lot. Everyone climbed out of the car.
"Come on Ryo let's go." Takato said.
"While you're visiting your homes, go to the park and see if the digital field is in Guilmon's hideout." Henry said.
"No problem." Ryo said.
"Good luck." Kari called out to them.
"Thanks you to." Takato replied.
"Rest of you kids follow me." Mr. Wong said.
"Hey Henry where are we?" Ken asked.
"This is the Hypnos building." Henry answered.
"What is Hypnos?" Kari asked.
"A place where we research digimon and the digital world." Henry answered.
"Research digimon?" Kari asked.
"Yah come look." Henry said opening a door to a room. In the room had a huge monitor. Two women were seated on chairs held up high with keyboards attached to them. "What are they doing?" Kari asked.
"Searching for signs of digimon, which everything seems to be clear right now." Henry said.
"OH wow, Izzy would love it in here." Ken said. Kari looked over at Ken and nodded in agreement. They left the room and continued walking down the hall. Henry opened a door to another room filled with computers and grownups working on them.
"This is where the research is done." Henry said.
"I definately see Izzy doing something like this in the future." Ken said.
"Yah." Kari said.
"So why are we here?" Kouji asked.
"We need to contact Azulongmon." Henry said.
"Kari since he got you through the d-terminal see if you can reply back." Kouichi said.
"Good idea." Kari said she opened it to find the screen black.
"It's not working." Kari said.
"Did you turn it on?" Takuya asked.
"Yah i did." Kari answered.
"Maybe the batteries died." Michael suggested.
"We'll try ours too." Willis said pulling out his d-terminal. Ken and Michael did the same thing.
"Anything?" Henry asked.
"No nothing." willis said.
"Same here." Michael said.
"Me too." Ken said.
"Our digivices don't seem to be working either." Kari said seeing the screen on it black.
"Weird." Ken said holding up his.
"Why is that weird?" Henry asked.
"Well it usually shows the time." Kari said.
"She's right." Ken said.
"What about you guys?" Henry asked.
"They seem to be fine." Takuya said.
"Try taking them out and looking at it." Ken suggested. Takuya took his d-tector out and noticed it was not working. He began pressing the buttons in it.
"Takuya stop, you're going to break it." Henry said.
"My spirits aren't showing. Why aren't they showing?" Takuya whined as he continued pressing the buttons.
"Henry does your digivice work?" Kari asked.
"Yah see." Henry said holding up his.
"Takuya stop." Ken said.
"I give up." Takuya sighed. He stopped pressing the buttons and shoved the d0-tectors back in his pocket.
"I wonder why they aren't working." Michael said.
"Out dated software?" Willis suggested.
"If your digivices don't work then we can't digivolve." Gatomon said.
"If we can't digivolve then we're useless." Wormon said.
"Don't say that." Kari said picking up her partner.
"Don't worry we'll find away to get those digivices working. Right guys." Ken said. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"May I see your digivices?" Mr. Wong asked.
"What for?" Kouji asked.
"To compare them to the d-power." Mr. Wong said.
"Don't worry you guys, I'll be helping." Henry said.
"Can Willis and I go with you guys?" Ken asked.
"Sure, Kari will you be ok with these guys?" Henry said.
"Yah I'll be fine." Kari answered.
"Michael what about you? Want to come?" Ken asked.
"Sure" Michael answered then looked over at Kari.
"Don't worry I'll be fine." Kari said.
"Yah Ken, we're not going to hurt her or anything." Takuya said.
"Gee thanks for the reassurance." Ken said.
"Speak for yourself Takuya, we would never hurt Kari but you might with a soccer ball." Kouji spoke up. Kouichi and Kari started laughing.
"Yah yah very funny." Takuya said crossing his arms.
"Here can you guys give us your digivice." Ken said. Kari handed hers to Willis, Kouji gave his to Ken, and Henry took Takuya's and Kouichi.
"We'll be back soon." Henry said as they went down the hall.
"What should we do?" Kouichi asked.
"Let's go outside." Kari suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Kouji said. The four went outside and sat on the stairs of the building. Kouji and Takuya stayed together and Kari and Kouichi sat together.
~Lab~
"Henry, Ken, Michael and Willis stood together in front of a computer. Henry placed all the digivices side by side on the table.
"So why is it only his is working?" Michael said.
"It worked when we were in the digital world. I mean all of them worked." Henry said.
"Yah even in Odaiba." Ken said.
"It worked in the van on our way to here." Michael said.
"Yah Kari got that email." Willis said.
"We'll fix it don't worry." Mr. Wong said.
"I think the reason yours stopped working was it's program. The technology her at hypnos is quite different from here. Our security monitors could not recognize and and shut them down thinking it was a threat." Henry explained.
"So can it be fixed?" Willis asked.
"Yah it can don't worry." Henry said.
"I hope you don't mind but we're going to have to open them up." Mr. Wong said.
"Is that possible?" Michael asked.
"Yah we need to take out the screws see." Ken said. They began taking apart the digivices.
~Outside~
Kari and Kouichi were sitting together whispering to each other. Takuya noticed this and couldn't help but wonder.
"hey Kouji, why do you and Kouichi always hang out with Kari and Ken?" Takuya asked.
"Because we want to." Kouji answered.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Takuya asked.
"Stuff about the dark ocean." Kouji mumbled.
"What?" Takuya asked.
"Uh nothing." Kouji said.
"Hey you guys what's up?" A voice said eceryone looked up to see Takato and Ryo.
"Hey." Takuya said. Takato went up the stairs and sat with Takuya. Ryo walked over and sat with Kouichi and Kari. Kouji got up from his spot and went over to talk to them. "Did I do something?" Takato asked.
"No those four are always together including Henry and Ken, I wonder what's about." Takuya said.
"Speaking of them where are they?" Takato asked.
"They had to examine our digivice." Takuya answered.
"Why? What's wrong with them.?" Takato asked.
"They didn't work when we entered the building." Takuya answered.
"Don't worry Mr. Wong and Henry will fix it." Takato said.
"Ryo did you find that gate?" Kari asked.
"Unfortunately not. But all we have to do is wait for another gate to open up and go through it." Ryo said.
"Who know how long that'll take." Kouji said.
"We could be stuck here for days." Kouichi said.
"Which we really don't have." Kari said.
~Digital World~
"The girls were leading the group back to Gennai's.
"Are we there yet?" JP asked.
"No not yet" Zoe answered. The group was all walking through the woods.
"How about now?" Kenta asked.
"JP just asked that question and the answer is no." Rika said.
"Can we take a break?" Kazu asked.
"Fine we can." Rika sighed.
~Shinjuku~
"You know I wonder how the others are doing." Kouji said.
"My group or the group we left at Pixiemon's" Kari asked.
"Both" Kouji answered.
"I'm sure they're doing fine." Kouichi answered.
"I can just picture Rika and the others walking back, with Kazu and Kenta complaining.
"I know JP would be doing the same. But Tommy won't he'll go with it." Kouichi said.
"Tai's probably in panic mode and will do anything to find me along with Davis. And the older kids will do whatever they can to hold him back." Kari said. Guilmon suddenly stood up and growled. Everyone looked up and over at Takato.
"Takato what's wrong?" Kari asked.
"He senses a digimon." Takato answered.
"Where?" Ryo asked.
"You four stay here, Let's go Ryo." Takato said.
"Right." Ryo said.
"Wait I want to come too." Kari said.
"You can't you don't have a digivice." Ryo said.
"Yah but I have a digimon and she wants to help." Kari said.
"Fine let's go." Takato said.
"Wait if Kari's going then so can I" Takuya said jumping up.
"Takuya you can't we don't have our digivice to spirit evolve." Kouji said.
"If we go we'll get killed and all we'd end up doing is sitting back and getting in the way." Kouichi added.
"Fine" Takuya said and sat back down.
~Digidestines~
"The digidestines had finished their battle against Puppetmon and were now back at Gennai's figuring out what to do next. Tai was pasing back and forth, Izzy was on his computer, Matt and Sora were talking, Joe and Mimi were doing the same thing, Davis was playing with the soccer ball, Cody was doing Kendo and Yolei was with TK walking around the house. TK opened the door and the two walked in.
"Where were you two?" Tai asked angrily.
"We were just walking and talking." TK answered.
"Calm down Tai." Agumon said. He and the other digimon were eating.
"You two seem to be getting close." Sora pointed out. Everyone stopped and looked at the possible couple. Yolei couldn't help it and started to blush.
"So what's the deal with that?" Davis asked.
"Davis they don't have to answer if they don't want to." Cody said
"Yah but I was thinking of Kari. I thought she and Ken would like to know about this." Davis said.
"Oh yah where are they by the way?" Yolei asked.
"I've tried emailing her but every time I go to send it the delivery fails." Izzy said.
"That's weird." TK said.
"Did you try Ken?" Joe aked.
"Yah I get the same results." Izzy answered.
"Hey you guys we're back." A voice said. The door opened and a group of kids and digimon entered the room.
"Rika do you know where Kari and Ken are?" Sora asked.
"Yah they're with Pixiemon" Rika said.
"Along with Kouji, Kouichi, Takuya, Takato Ryo and Henry." Jeri added.
"How long will they be gone?" Yolei asked.
"We're not sure." Zoe answered.
"I hope they're alright." Tai said.
"Don't worry, as long as they stay together they should be fine." Izzy said.
"I hope so." Sora said.
