Chapter 11: Chapter 11
The kids and their Digimon partners were all sitting in front of the hologram of the old human male.
"Who are you, old timer?" Sakuya asked curiously.
"You may call me Gennai. I was the guide of the last team of Digidestined long ago, and now my job is to guide all of you, with information you will need on your journey," Gennai explained to them.
"So there was a team before us?" Koushiro asked curiously, as he was curious about that claim.
Gennai nodded at this. "Indeed, there was a team before you, and just like them, if you wish to leave, you must defeat the evil Digimon that are threatening our world," he said to them.
This made everyone look at each other, some of them with frowns, but some with determined looks on their faces, as they knew this would be the case after what Leomon told them.
"Well, if you guys need us, then we may as well help," Sora said, as she nodded along with Biyomon.
"I'm in too," Mimi said, as she nodded with Palmon giving a thumbs up.
"Yea, let's kick some ass!" Takeru yelled happily, as Patamon smiled and nodded in agreement.
This got a laugh from Taichi, while Yamato's eyes widened before he glared at Sakuya accusingly.
"What? He did it!" Sakuya yelled, as she pointed at Impmon.
"You sellout!" Impmon yelled, annoyed at how easily Sakuya threw him under the bus.
Gennai chuckled at this, as he shook his head. "I thank you all for this. I know how much you all must want to go home," he said to them.
"Eh, don't sweat it old man. It is what it is. Now, what do we need to do next?" Sakuya asked him.
Gennai's eyebrow twitched at this insult, before he composed himself. "You will all need to head for the cottage of server. I'm sending a map to your laptop," he said, as he looked at Koushiro.
Koushiro looked at his backpack, and instantly went to look at it.
"You will also need to look for the tags and crests while you are here," Gennai said, as he made images of what looked like necklaces and what looked like small tablets.
"What are they supposed to do?" Agumon asked curiously.
"These will allow each of you to evolve to the next level of power," Gennai said with a smile.
"Yes! I was hoping to reach the Ultimate level!" Impmon yelled as he laughed, while pumping his fist in the air.
"Where will we find these tags and crests?" Yamato asked curiously.
"The crests are scattered around the server. As for the tags, I'm afraid that Devimon hid them," Gennai said, as he shook his head.
"Do you want to give us a better hint?" Sakuya asked with an annoyed tone, at the fact that even after defeating him, Devimon had pulled one over on them all.
"I'm sure that he hid them somewhere near File Island. Most likely somewhere on the way to server," Gennai said.
"Hmmmm, this is a long way to travel. We may need to build a raft," Koushiro said, as he looked up from his laptop.
Suddenly, Gennai's hologram started to flicker.
"Hey, what's happening?" Jo asked in a panic as the others looked at the hologram
"Connection….bad—atamon interference—come—server!" Gennai said through the bad signal, before the hologram shut off completely.
"You'd think in a digital world, the connection speed would be better," Sakuya grumbled, as she looked up at the sky, with her hands behind her head.
"Well, at least we know what we need to know for now," Koushiro said, as he closed his laptop.
"Yea. So for now, we should rest and make plans for tomorrow," Sora said, as she looked at the group.
"Sounds good to me. I'm starving after that last fight," Taichi said, as he nodded.
"Ok, humans will set up camp, while Digimon goes hunting for food," Sakuya said, as she looked at Impmon.
Impmon nodded at this, as he walked off with the other Digimon to go look for food.
(Later)
It was now night and camp was set up, and everyone was gathered around a campfire, as they ate some roasted fish and mushrooms.
"So it's decided then?" Taichi asked the team.
"Well, it's either head for server, or we stay here forever," Yamato said with a shrug.
"Pass!" Sakuya yelled, as she shook her head at this.
"Me too. I want to get back, and see what the latest fashion is back home," Mimi said with a nod of agreement.
"Oh please, like you need that. You look great as is," Sakuya grumbled, as she rolled her eyes.
Mimi blinked at this, before she smiled brightly at Sakuya
"Yea, I miss my parents, so I can't imagine staying here and leaving them worried about us," Koushiro said as he nodded at this.
"Yea, if we stay, Auntie will tear Japan apart looking for us," Sora said with a chuckle.
"Not just Japan. She might rip the whole world to pieces," Sakuya said.
"She can't be that bad," Mimi said, as she had heard about Sakuya's mom, but had never met her.
"Remember that when you meet her," Taichi said with a shudder, remember when some biker punks were in her restaurant causing trouble? he asked
"So many broken men, crying in pain and begging for mercy," Sakuya said, with a shake of her head.
"Ok, so tomorrow, we start building a raft," Jo said.
"That will take a while with just us, won't it?" Takeru asked Yamato curiously.
"It might, but don't worry, we'll get it done," Yamato said, as he patted Takeru on the head.
"Ok, let's all get to bed. We have a long day tomorrow," Sora said to the group.
"What are you, my mom?" Impmon asked with a grumble.
"Don't tempt her. She might start cussing and making us beg for mercy, and worse to you, Taichi!" Sakuya yelled at Taichi with a grin.
"Huh?" Taichi asked, not getting it, while Sora went atomic red.
"So clueless—oof! " Sakuya said, shaking her head at this before Sora slugged her in the gut hard, making her keel over.
"Keep it up, and I'll do things that will make Auntie say calm down," Sora growled at Sakuya.
"N-noted," Sakuya groaned from the ground, as she gave Sora a shaky thumbs up.
"Ha! She got you with one punch!" Impmon laughed, not noticing Biyomon behind him and soon she started pecking at his head.
"Oi! Cut the crap!" Impmon yelled in pain, as he covered his face.
The others laughed at this, before they all went to bed for the night.
Unknown to them, Renamon was watching them from a mountaintop nearby.
"Hmmm, they will need help if they want to leave right away," Renamon mused to herself, before she nodded and took off running into the night, an idea hitting her to help out the ones who saved the island.
