Chapter 38

Last time: (Mimi P.O.V.) The group's journey continued to the Village of Beginnings. There they met Swanson who took care of the digimon babies. They asked her to join them but she said no. Now they're onto their last stop. Beanstalk Village.

Summary: The kids go to Beanstalk Village for their trip.

"The kids were on the trainmen looking out the window.

"Our final stop, Beanstalk Village." Kouji said.

"Then we can go back to the others." Kari said.

"That'll be a relief." Kouichi said.

"Yeah it'll be nice to see the others again." Henry said.

"I wonder how the others are?" Kari asked.

"I'm sure their fine." Ryo said.

"Yeah with Tai in charge." Takuya said.

"Is he the best leader?" Takato asked.

"Yeah he is." Kari said.

"What do you think Ken?" Takato asked.

"Not really sure only worked with Davis as the leader and he's great." Ken said. Kari nodded in agreement.

"What do you two think?" Henry asked Michael and Willis.

"They're good from the short time we worked with them." Michael said.

"I only worked with Davis and he's good. But I've heard about Tai from Izzy." Willis said.

"You never met Tai?" Henry asked.

"No. This is actually my second time, I've met Kari." Willis said.

"Anyone else from the team you know?" Michael asked.

"Well, Izzy, Davis, TK, Cody, Yolei, Kari, Mimi, and you." Willis said.

"What about you?" Takuya asked.

"Oh I've met the first team once, along with other digidestines around the world." Michael said.

"There are more of you guys?" Takuya asked.

"Yeah they did a world tour around Christmas time." Takato said.

"How do you know that?" Michael asked.

"Where we're from you guys are tv characters in a show." Henry said.

"I think that makes sense." Michael said. Willis just shrugged.

"We'll explain everything later." Ryo said.

"Anyways." Michael said.

"Look guys we're here." Kouji said as the trainmen came to a giant beanstalk.

"Whoa." The others said.

"That's one huge beanstalk." Kari said.

"Definitely explains the village's name." Ken said.

"Yep." Willis said.

"So why are we here?" Takato asked.

"Because of our mission." Henry said.

"Think they'll help us?" Roy asked.

"Not sure." Couch said. The trainmen stopped at the station and the team got out.

"Where to?" Ken asked.

"This way." Kouji said. They walked off the plstform and towards the village. The looked around to see no one there.

"It's empty." Ken said.

"Is it usually like this?" Kari asked.

"Yep." Kouji said. Takuya went over to a door at the root of the beanstalk and knocked. No answer.

"No one's home?" Willis asked.

"I guess so." Kari said.

"Maybe we should just forget about it." Takato said.

"No not yet." Willis said.

"Why not?" Kari asked.

"I thought I saw someone." Willis said. Kari looked around and saw a little bear hiding behind the root of the beanstalk.

"Hey little one, it's ok we won't hurt you." Kari said kneeling down. The digimon stayed where he was.

"So I wasn't imagining it." Willis said.

"Why did he remain in hiding?" Michael asked.

"No clue." Willis said.

"Maybe they're scared of something." Kari suggested.

"Or someone." Ken said.

"Like who?" Kari asked.

"Maybe someone like that." Kouji said. The kids turned around to see the royal knights.

"Crusadamon, one of the royal knights." Henry said as the digimon popped up on his digivice.

"Dynusmon." Another one." Roy said.

"Not good." Takato said.

"What now?" Michael asked.

"We protect the village." Ken said.

"Right." Everyone said.

"Gatomon, Mormon digivolve quick." Kari said. The two digimon nodded and digivolved.

"You too BEtamon." Michael said.

"Willis?" Terriormon asked.

"Go for it." Willis said. The other two digivolved as well.

"Well this is interesting. Kids controlling digimon." Dynusmon said.

"Hey we're not controlling them." Michael shouted.

"Uh Michael we sort of do." Willis said.

"Zip it." Michael said.

"Guys enough." Kouji said.

"They chose to be with us, on their own free will." Kari said.

"What she said." Ken said.

"Digimon attack." Michael said. The digimon nodded and attacked. They easily hit Dynusmonand Crusadamon.

"They did it." Willis said.

"See our partners make us stronger." Angewomon said.

"You minus well give up." Ken said.

"Never." The two digimon shouted.

"Need backup?" Henry asked.

"I think we're good." Ken said.

"Ok we're get the others to safety." Henry said. He ran off to the others.

"Those four can handle them, we need to get everyone to safety." Henry said.

"Right." The others said. They split up and went into different directions. The tamers lead the village to safety, while the rest acted as the body guards.

"This is easy." Takato said. A fire ball came out of the sky and almost hit them.

"Want to try that again?" Henry asked.

"Right." Takato said.

"You guys keep going I can hold them off." Takuya said.

"We'll help too." Kouji said.

"Right." Kouichi agreed.

"Ok you guys let's do this." Takuya said.

"Right." The other two said. The three quickly spirited evolved.

"We should digivolve too." Takato said.

"Right." Henry said.

"You three ready?" Roy asked.

"Ready." The digimon said. The three digimon digivolved quickly. "Alright guys let's attack." Takato said.

"Right." They said. The group started attacking. The team was not doing so well.

"We're getting creamed." Henry said.

"We need backup." Ryo said.

"The others are busy though." Takato said.

"Do we have a way of contacting them?" Ryo asked.

"Yeah email." Henry said.

"Can our digivices do that?" Takato asked.

"No." Henry answered.

"What about Takuya's group?" Takato asked.

"Through their digivice." Ryo said.

"Can we get to them?" Takato asked.

"We can try." Ryo said.

"Guys can you hear me?" Henry said into his digivice. No answer.

"Try Kari's team." Ryo said.

"Kari, Ken, anyone?" Henry said.

"Guys this is stupid they can't hear me through my digivice." Henry said.

"Henry?" A voice came through his digivice.

"Kari? Can you hear me?" Henry said.

"I can hear you. Is everything alright?" Kari said.

"Yeah but we could use some backup." Henry said.

"We're still in battle here. Did you try Kouji's team?" Kari said.

"Yeah no result." Henry said.

"Ok hold on let me see what I can do." Kari said.

"Kay, hurry." Henry said.

"K." Kari said.

"Who was it?" Ken asked.

"Henry, the tamers need help." Kari said.

"Go we can handle it from here." Ken said.

"Ok, Angewomon." Kari said.

"What is it?" Angewomon asked.

"We're going to help the tamers." Kari said.

"Ok." Angewomon said picking Kari up. The two flew off towards the tamers.

"Where to?" Angewomon asked.

"Not sure, Henry didn't give me an exact location." Kari answered.

"Then we'll go to the location a fight." Angewomon said.

"See anything?" Kari asked.

"No, let me get closer." Angewomon said flying down. The landed on the ground and started walking.

"Anything?" Angewoman asked.

"There." Kari said. The looked up and saw the group on the ground.

"No." She said. She ran over to them.

"Guys." She said. No answer. She went over to Henry and started shaking him.

"What?" he said.

"You ok?" Kari asked.

"Yeah I think so." he said.

"What happened?" Kari asked.

"Not sure." Henry said.

"Where are the digimon?" Kari asked.

"Up there." Henry said.

"I'll go help them." Angewomon said and flew up to join the fight.

"What happened?" Kari asked.

"Honestly I'm not really sure." Henry said.

"What was the last thing you remember?" Kari asked.

"Hmm not really sure." He said.

"Where's Takato and Ryo?" Kari asked.

"I think they're over there." Henry said. Kari helped jim up and they went off in the direction he pointed to. They found the other two lying on the ground.

"Oh no." Henry said.

"Ryo." Kari said running over to him. Henry went over to Takato.

"Ryo." Kari said. No answer. She tried again.

"Huh?" He moaned.

"You ok?" Kari asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, what happened?" Ryo said.

"You guys called for help and I came." Kari said.

"Oh" he said.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Kari asked.

"Don't worry about me, where's Takato." Ryo said.

"Henry's with him." Kari said. He looked over to see henry and Takato.

"Takato." Henry said. No answer. He tried again. nothing. Henry shook his friend. Again nothing.

"Guys help." Henry called out.

"What's wrong?" Ryo asked.

"It's Takato, he's not responding." Henry said.

"Oh no." Kari said.

"Is he alright?" Ryo asked.

"I think so." Henry said. Kari grabbed his hand to check for a pulse.

"Nothing." Kari said.

"Is he dead?" Ryo asked.

"Seems like it." Henry said.

"No." Kari said.

"What now?" Ryo asked.

"No clue." Henry said.

"I'm emailing Ken, maybe he can help." Kari said.

"No time, he might not get to us quickly." Henry said.

"I'm here." Ken said.

"Well that was quick." Ryo said.

"What's wrong?" Ken asked.

"It's Takato." Henry said.

"Is he alright?" Ken asked.

"We hope so. There's no pulse." Kari said.

"Let me see." Ken said. He checked for a pulse.

"Well?" Kari asked.

"Nothing." Ken said.

"So he's gone?" Kari asked.

"I'm afraid so." Ken said.

"No we need him." Henry said.

"Ken do something." Ryo said.

"Alright fine." Ken said. He started doing CPR on Takato.

"Well?" Henry asked.

"Not sure yet, someone check his pulse." Ken said. Kari grabbed Takato's wrist.

"Anything?" Ken asked.

"I'm getting something." Kari said.

"That's good." Ryo said.

"Keep going." Hernry said. The continued until Takato woke up.

"What's going on?" Takato asked.

"Not much." Henry said.

"Are you ok?" Ryo asked.

"Yeah, what happened?" Takato asked.

"We're not completely sure." Henry said.

"Guys we need to get out of here." Michael said as his group came running towards them.

"What's up?" Kari asked.

"Not much, everything on our end is good." Willis said.

"So what's wrong?" Ken asked.

"Nothing we just need to go before they come back for another round." Michael said.

"Right good point." Ken said.

"What about Takato?" Henry asked.

"He should be fine, if we don't move him too much." Ryo said.

"Where's Koji's group?" Ken asked.

"Still fighting." Willis said.

"I'll try contacting them." Kari said.

"Guys, can you hear me?" She said into her digivice.

"Yeah we're here." Kouji said.

"What's up?" Couch asked.

"We're all together, where are you guys?" Kari asked.

"Finishing up here then we're on our way." Kouichi said.

"Guys help." Takuya said.

"Gotta go." Kouji said and hung up.

"Well they'll be a while." Ken said.

"We can't wait for them." Ken said.

"Let's go somewhere and have them meet us there." Kari suggested.

"Good idea." Henry said.

"Let's do it." Ryo said. Everyone nodded.

"What about the digimon?" Michael asked.

"Tell them." Willis said.

"Right." Ken said.

"Hey guys." Kari called out to the digimon.

"What is it?" Angewomon said.

"Come back and regroup." Kari said.

"You heard her let's rejoin the kids." Angewomon said. The other digimon nodded in agreement and flew down to be with the others.

"What's up?" Stingmon asked.

"Takato got hurt, we're locating to somewhere safer until he gets better." Henry said.

"Takuya's team will meet up with us later." Ryo said.

"Come on let's go." Ken said. The digimon grabbed their partners and flew off.

"Where are we going?" Kari asked.

"Anywhere where there is shelter." Ken said.

"Don't see one." Kari said.

"There." Michael said pointing to a house.

"Let's land there." Kari said. The digimon landed in front of the house. Henry opened the door and the kids walked in.

"No one's here." Ryo said.

"Good." Henry said. The digimon dedigivolded back into their rookie forms.

"Let's go in." Ryo said.

"I'll let Takuya know where we are." Kari said. The group went inside.

"Think there's a bed in here or something to use as a bed?" Ken asked.

"Not sure." Willis said.

"Don't see any." Michael said after walking around the place.

"Looks like he'll be on the floor then." Willis said.

"I guess so." Michael said.

"Takuya." Kari called through her digivice.

"Here." He said.

"How's it going?" Kari said.

"Fine. Find a location yet?" he said.

"Yes we did, sending you the coordinates." Kari said.

"Got them, we'll be there as soon as we can." Takuya said.

"Ok, need help?" Kari asked.

"Nah we're good here, see you soon." Takuya said.

"K, bye." Kari said.

"They'll be here as soon as they can." Kari said.

"Ok, for now we stay put." Ken said.

"Why don't you digimon go on guard duty." Henry suggested.

"A couple of us will go, we'll take turn." Terriormon said.

"Wormon and I will take the first shift." Gatomon said.

"Lopmon and I will go next." Terriormon said.

"Ok." Wormon said and the two left. The two digimon left.

"Call us if you need us." Kari said.

"We will." Gatomon said.

"Relax they'll be fine." Ken said putting his hand on her shoulder.

"I know." Kari said.

"Hey guys, come here." Ryo said.

"What's up?" Ken asked.

"It's Takato." Ryo said.

"What's wrong?" Kari asked.

"Not really sure, I think his pulse is coming back." Ryo said.

"Looks like it." Ken said.

"Will he be ok?" Ryo asked.

"Not sure." Ken said.

"Let's leave him alone and give him some space." Henry said.

"Yeah good idea." Ken said.

"So what do we do now?" Michael asked.

"Not sure." Willis said.

"We wait for the others." Kari said as a knock came from the door.

"Come in." Henry said. The door opened and Kouji, Kouichi and Takuya came in.

"Hey what's up?" Takuya said.

"Not much, Takato is resting." Ryo said.

"Is he ok?" Kouichi asked.

"Yeah he's fine." Ken said.

"What happened?" Kouji asked.

"Not sure." Kari said.

"We think he was attacked." Willis said.

"How's his partner?" Takuya said.

"He didn't get hurt." Henry said.

"Well when they're better we should head back home." Kouji said.

"Right." Ken said.

"Are we done here?" Kari asked.

"No not yet." Ken said.

"We continue on then, once Takato's better." Kouji said.

"What if he doesn't get better soon?" Ryo asked.

"He will." Ken said.

"Where do we need to go to next?" Takuya asked.

"The moon is the final stop." Kari said.

"How do we get there?" Henry asked.

"Not sure." Kari said.

"How did you guys get there?" Ryo asked.

"I think we were thrown there." Takuya said.

"Thrown there?" Henry asked.

"How does that work?" Ryo asked.

"Not sure." Kouji said.

"So do we skip it?" Kari asked.

"Can't part of our mission." Kouichi said.

"Ok, once on the moon how do we get off?" Michael asked.

"Rocket." Takuya said.

"Ok good." Michael said.

"Couldn't we use the rocket to get on the moon?" Kari asked.

"No." Kouji said.

"Great." Ken said then left the group.

"Where did he go?" Takuya asked.

"To check on Takato." Kari said.

"Oh right." Takuya said.

"How do you think the others are doing?" Kouji asked.

"Not sure." Kouichi said.

"Think they miss us?" Kari asked.

"Of course they do." Kouichi said.

"It would be nice to be with the others." Takuya said.

"It would be nice to be done of this whole mission completely." Kouji said.

"Aww he doesn't like us." Ryo said.

"I like you guys, just wish our meet up didn't involve fighting evil digimon." Kouji said.

"We're digidestine it's what we do." Henry said.

"I know." Kouji said.

"Remember what Ophanimon said?" Takuya asked.

"No." Henry said.

"She said it wasn't an accident that we met." Takuya said.

"So the game was a set up?"Kari asked. "Don't think so." Henry said.

"Who set the game up?" Ryo asked.

"Some company." Takuya siad.

"Do you know the name?" Kouji asked.

"No." Takuya said.

"Got any info on the game?" Ryo asked.

"Yeah here's the paper." Takuya said.

"There's nothing that's helpful." Kouji said.

"Ok what else?" Kouichi asked.

"Why would you guys meet at a soccer game?" Willis asked.

"It wasn't planned." Takuya said.

"We know." Kari said. "He means why pick a soccer game." Michael said.

"Don't get it." Takuya said.

"It doesn't make sense." Henry said.

"I get it." Ryo said.

"Clarify." Henry said.

"It's they're favorite activity." Ryo said.

"Makes sense." Michael said.

"Then why focus on soccer and not any other activity we do?" Kouji asked.

"It's a popular sport?" Kari said.

"Don't think that's it." Ryo said.

"It's the best sport ever." Takuya said.

"Seriously?" Ryo asked.

"I give up." Takuya said.

"It's a big enough event that we'd all go to?" Henry said.

"That could be it." Ryo said.

"Is there a reason for having our four teams playing against each other?" Takuya asked.

"Not that I know of." Ryo said.

"Probably to get us in one area." Kari said.

"I agree." Kouichi said.

"Then why not attack us at the game?" Kouji asked.

"No clue." Kouichi said. Everyone started thinking.

"Hey guys Takato is awake." Ken said.

"Can we see him?" Henry asked. Not just yet, give him to to figure out where he is first." Ken said.

"Ok." Henry said.

"So what were you guys talking about?" Ken asked.

"The game." Kari said.

"What do we know about it?" He asked.

"Nothing more than we already know." Kouji said.

"We're trying to figure out the rest." Kouichi said.

"Where you at?" Ken asked.

"Soccer game." Willis said.

"What part?" Ken asked.

"We're trying to figure out who could set us up." Henry said.

"And the question is why a soccer game." Kouji said.

"it's our hobby." Ken suggested.

"That wasn't it." Henry said.

"They knew we'd be there?" Ken said.

"No that wasn't it." Kari said.

"That's what we're on." Willis said.

"Any other ideas?" Ken asked.

"Not really." Michael said.

"So nothing." Ken said.

"Pretty much." Kouji said.

"Why do you think they want us all to meet each other?" Kari asked.

"Good question." Michael said.

"No clue." Ken said.

"Hey guys what's up?" Another voice asked. The group turned around to see henry in the door way.

"Henry." Ryo said.

"How's Takato?" Kari asked.

"Not bad, still asleep." henry said.

"It'll take him a while to heal." Ken said.

"We can't continue without him." Takuya said.

"The we sit here and rest." Kouichi said.

"But we need to keep moving." Kouji said.

"We will, when he's better." Ken said.

"How long will that take?" Kouji asked.

"Hopefully we'll be leaving tomorrow." Ken said.

"He's pretty much all better, he just needs rest." Henry said.

"One more night should be plenty enough." Ryo said. Everyone else nodded in agreement.
