Tagiru and Gumdramon smiled in victory as they had finally defeated Quartzmon, capturing him in Tagiru’s Fusion Loader putting an end to the twisted Digimon’s evil and saving both worlds

“I’ll hold onto this Digi-Egg.” Shoutmon stated, in which Tagiru and Gumdramon were a little surprised to see him in the darkness that was the remains of Quartzmon’s core, his location to rewrite the data of both worlds in his twisted mind.

“Your majesty! Are you feeling okay now?” Gumdramon asked in concern.

“The world is saved thanks to you two.” Mikey suddenly informed his friends in a proud tone, stepping out of the darkness.

“Mikey!” Tagiru could only say.

“No... I guess it’s more like, thanks to everyone.” Mikey corrected as all their friends emerged from the darkness. “Everyone here.”

“The power of the past heroes who leapt through time to come here...” Mikey said, as the Digidestined, Tamers, Legendary Warriors and DATS crew appeared around the heroic duo.

“And the power of Digimon who risked their lives for the fight. The power of our fellow Hunters. Our friends in school and the town, along with our dear families... Yes... It’s because everyone combined their strengths.” Mikey finished saying as everyone Tagiru and Gumdramon had encountered across their adventure were now standing by their side.

“Yeah, it was thanks to everyone’s power!” Tagiru confirmed happily, before announcing to all. “Everyone here!”

With the battle over and peace restored, Tagiru and Gumdramon shook hands, only for the moment to be interrupted as a fierce wind picked up.

“What’s this all of a sudden?” Gumdramon questioned in concern.

“Oh no!” The Old Clock Maker called out, before he explained as Digimon after Digimon were slowly sucked up and pulled away, while the same was happening to the humans. “Now that the Digi-Quartz is destroyed, all worlds are beginning to return to their normal selves! Digimon must be restored to the Digital World, humans must be restored to the Real World and the heroes must be restored to each of their own worlds.”

“The time has come to say goodbye has come.” The old man informed, before he was pulled back to the Real World.

“Gumdramon!” Tagiru called out as he continued to embrace his Digimon partner.

“Tagiru... I’m glad I met you!” Gumdramon replied, knowing their time together would soon be over.

“We became real superstars, didn’t we?” Tagiru asked, already knowing the answer, in which Gumdramon smiled and stated. “Yeah, we’re superstars!”

“We’ll see each other again, right?” Tagiru then asked.

In reply, Gumdramon smiled and told his friend in all his honesty. “Yeah, one day.”

With that said, neither could hold onto the other and were pulled back into their worlds, screaming out their partner’s name as they did.

----In the Digital World, sometime later----

"Shoutmon! Shoutmon, wake up!" Gumdramon called out, shaking his unconscious friend, before he groaned and opened his eyes.

"What happened?" Shoutmon questioned, rubbing his head as he got up, before the memories of the Digimon and humans being thrown around and back to their own worlds caused his eyes to snap open and ask in concern. "Gumdramon, how is everyone?"

"They're fine. Everyone is recovering in you castle, your majesty." Gumdramon reassured, before saying. "But we have a few more 'guests' than we started with."

Shoutmon was unsure of what Gumdramon meant by that until he looked behind the 'X' scarred Digimon and was stunned to see Agumon, Biyomon, Veemon, Gatomon, Patamon, Guilmon and Renamon, all on the ground, unconscious.

"What the? What are they doing here?" Shoutmon asked Gumdramon in confusion, before saying. "I thought the old man said that they'd be sent back to their worlds and timelines."

"Well it looks like something went wrong when the worlds were separating." Gumdramon replied, before he turned his attention to the unconscious Digimon and asked. "So what do we do with them?"

"For now I think it would be best to allow them inside to recover before finding a way to send them to their proper realities. But if they have human friends like us I know they're doing everything possible to get their friends back home." Shoutmon told Gumdramon.

"Right away, your majesty!" Gumdramon replied enthusiastically, slinging Biyomon over his shoulder, while Shoutmon picked up Gatomon, before the pair headed to Shoutmon's castle to gather any Digimon who could assist in carrying their new friends inside.

"Oh, I almost forgot, while you were out I informed her majesty you were back and she wishes to see you." Gumdramon informed.

"Thank you, Gumdramon." Shoutmon said as he and his dragon companion entered the castle of the Digimon King.

----An hour later----

Shoutmon, I think they are waking up." A female voice said as the darkness faded away when Agumon opened his eyes.

Agumon groaned and sat up, rubbing his head.

"Ouch." he said as he looked around to find Biyomon at his side, before the reptile Digimon then looked around and saw Veemon and Patamon waking up besides a still sleeping Gatomon and Guilmon awakening too.

While next to Guilmon was Renamon, who too was out cold.

"What the...? You guys are still here?" Agumon asked in confusion.

"Agumon?" Veemon questioned, before saying. "Wait... I thought we all gone back to our own worlds and timelines."

"You were, but something happened." They all heard Shoutmon say.

Turning around, Agumon, Veemon, Patamon and Guilmon to see Shoutmon sitting on a throne, Gumdramon on his left, while beside the red dragon Digimon was a female Digimon sitting by his side.

The Digimon had a pair of beautiful ruby coloured eyes and a bright yellow crescent moon shaped mark on her forehead.

Large rabbit-like adorned the top of her head and the sides, which were coloured amethyst around the tips.

While her classic rose colured skin complimented the beautiful crimson dress that adorned the rabbit-like Digimon, showing off her petit and slender legs.

"You?" Guilmon said in surprise, expecting to be at Takato's, before the bearer of the Hazard mark asked. "What's going on?"

"I'm afraid something went wrong with the splitting of worlds after Quartzmon was captured and his Data was reverted to a Digi-Egg. I'm not sure why but you were sent into my Digital World instead of yours'." Shoutmon explained.

Hearing this filled the Agumon, Veemon, Patamon and Guilmon with shocke, before Patamon asked in worry. "You mean we're stuck here?"

"I'm afraid so." The female Digimon by Shoutmon's side replied solemnly, before she reassured them. "But please don't despair. We promise to find a way to get you all back home."

"And until then feel free to make yourselves at home." Shoutmon added in a friendly tone, which made the Digimon smile, not only by his generosity and his willingness to help them, but they all knew that their friends back in their realities were doing everything they could to bring them home.

"Thank you, your majesty." Agumon said, bowing in respect, followed by the others, which made the Digimon King smile, before saying. "You're more than welcome. But you don't have to be so formal with me. Just call me Shoutmon."

"And you already know me. The superstar Digimon, Gumdramon!" Gumdramon proudly announced, which sounded a little arrogant, but they all knew the hard work he and Tagiru put in defeating Quartzmon and deserved his title.

"And I'm Lunamon." The female Digimon introduced herself, before saying. "The Queen of the Digital World."

"The Queen of the Digital World?" Guilmon questioned, before he asked in a curious tone. "Shoutmon, does that mean that...?"

In reply, Shoutmon smiled, nodded his head, before saying. "That's right. Lunamon is my mate."

"We first met each other in the Disc Zone where Shoutmon, Mikey and his friends showed up and saved me and my friends when the Zone fell to pieces from the destruction the Bagra Army and Blue Flare caused." Lunamon explained, before she went on. "After we were saved, Shoutmon took such good care of us, espically me. Sharing his Digi-Bytes and protecting me from Blastmon, it was these actions that made me fall for him but I was too scared to say anything."

"But after Bagramon was defeated and Shoutmon became the Digimon King, he used the Code Crown's power to rebuild the Digital World and fix up all the damaged Zones. That's when I decided to show him my courage and strength, by confessing my feelings for him."

"And I'm glad she did." Shoutmon replied, before the Digimon King said. "After getting to know her in the Warrior Zone, I fell for her too, she was smart, caring and beautiful. But being in the middle of a battle against the Bagra Army and AxeKnightmon made it impossible for me to tell Lunamon I loved her as I didn't want her to come with us and wind up injured or worse."

"When the Bagramon, his army and AxeKnightmon were all defeated, we eventually met up in the Disc Zone he had repaired where we revealed our love to each other, before he claimed me as his mate and queen." Lunamon said, looking at her king lovingly as she did.

After ending their tale of love, all were interrupted as they heard moaning, in which they turned to see Biyomon, Gatomon and Renamon getting up.

As the three females were being helped to their feet, Biyomon asked. “Agumon, what’s going on? Where’s everyone? Where’s Sora? Wait, where are we?”

“We’re in Shoutmon’s Digital World.” Agumon replied, which only caused Biyomon to further question. ”What? Why?”

“We’re not too sure but as Shoutmon told your friends, something went wrong when the worlds were separating and you were put in ours’ by mistake.” Gumdramon interrupted and explained, which, upon hearing the news made Biyomon lower her head as she started to cry.

“Sora... Our friends... Our home...” Biyomon said lowly, her heart breaking to pieces, but that was stopped when she felt a pleasant warmth around her, in which the avian Digimon looked up and was surprised to see the source was Agumon comforting her in a hug.

“Don’t cry, Biyomon. Shoutmon said he’ll find a way to send us home and I have faith in him, just like I have faith in our friends and in you.” Agumon told her reassuringly.

“Thank you, Agumon.” Biyomon said as a small smile appeared on her face.

‘Agumon always knows what to say.’ Biyomon thought to herself happily, happy to be with him, however, as they both shared their embrace a strange warm feeling filled them both.

Unsure what they were feleling, Agumon and Biyomon broke from the hug, only for the feeling to fade away, confusing them as to what they had experienced, while Shoutmon and Lunamon smiled, knowing all too well that Agumon and Biyomon were in love but unsure of their feelings.

As this played out, Gatomon had been helped up by Veemon and Patamon, while Guilmon helped Renamon to her feet, before both were briefed about them being sent to the wrong world, but were in good hands with the Digimon King, his queen and the superstar dragon Digimon.

Several days had passed since the Digimon of Odaiba and Shinjuku had been sent to the Digital World of Koto, but now they were feeling at lot better and more welcomed.

Currently, Veemon and Gumdramon were walking down one of the corridor', talking about their lives and friends.

"So what's your human partner like?" Gumdramon asked curiously.

"Davis? Well, he's a great guy and the leader of my team. He can be a bit thoughtless but what he lacks in brain he makes up for in courage, which is the main reason he became my partner." Veemon replied.

Hearing this confused Gumdramon and made him ask. "What do you mean by that?"

"In my Digital World I, along with Armadillomon and Hawkmon were sealed under Digi-Eggs to wait for our human partners to find us and free us so we could help save the world." Veemon told Gumdramon.

"Why?" Gumdramon asked.

"Why what?" Veemon asked back.

"Why were you sealed under a Digi-Egg? Shouldn't you have just hatched from one?" Gumdramon questioned Veemon curiously.

"To be honest I don't know. I have no memory before Davis freeing me, I don't if I had a family, friends, I don't remember anything." Veemon said, somewhat saddened, before he smiled and said. "But the past is the past and I like to focus on what I have."

"Well if you ask me you and I are alike." Gumdramon then said, intriguing Veemon and making the 'V' marked Digimon ask. "You think so?"

"Yeah! For starters we're both dragon Digimon." Gumdramon replied, before pointing to his scar and stated. "We both have cool marks on our heads and we can kick some serious bad guy butt!"

"Maybe you're my cousin or something?" Gumdramon theorised, which made Veemon smile at Gumdramon's enthusiasm.

"Maybe." Veemon replied cheerfully.

With that said, both Digimon laughed for a moment before parting ways, in which Veemon headed outside, where he saw Gatomon staring at the beautiful view before her.

However, He quickly hid behind the wall as he saw Patamon was there too.

"So what would happen to us now?" Gatomon asked Patamon.

"Well, as long as TK and Kari are worried about us, they'll find a way to get us back." Patamon replied in a reassuring tone.

"True." Gatomon said, knowing Kari and the others were doing all they could to help, before the feline Digimon then sighed and looked out of the balcony.

"Hey, Gatomon are you ok?" Patamon asked.

"We've through a lot together haven't we? But it was thanks to you and your friends, I would've have remained with that freak, Myostimon" Gatomon said, before she went on. "And you been so kind to me ever since we got together for a few travels."

"I know... We are a lot closer together." Patamon replied,before he asked curiously. "But what about Veemon?"

"Veemon? He is a good friend but not my type." Gatomon replied, before the Digimon of Light said. "I mean he is a nice Digimon but we've been together more than he has with me."

Veemon could feel his heart breaking; his feelings for Gatomon could never be returned, hearing that she does not have the same feelings he did.

"Patamon, promise me you stay with me till the end?" Gatomon asked.

"I promise." Patamon replied in an honest tone.

With his promise, Gatomon smiled before she then kissed Patamon on the lips, which surprised him for a moment before the Digimon of Hope closed his eyes and returned the kiss.

"I love you." Gatomon said to Patamon.

"I Love you too." Patamon said before Gatomon kissed him again.

With those words, Veemon’s heart completely shattered, in which he was unable to take anymore, turned away from the wall and ran off in tears.

----In the forest, just outside the borders of the Forest Zone----

Tears trailed down Veemon's face as he sat on a stump of an old log.

'Gatomon. The Digimon I love... I... I can't believe it.' Veemon thought sadly as he continued to cry.

But Veemon was broken from his depression as he heard an unknown female voice call out in the distance for help,in which the Digimon of Courage and Friendship shot off and ran deeper into the forest as his role as a hero took over, determined to save whoever it was that needed his help.

"Please stop..." The female Digimon begged as five Woodmon surrounded her, all of them beating her senselessly, and from the looks on their wicked faces, were enjoying it.

"Sorry girly, but you entered our forest without permission." One of the Woodmon replied, before he rose his arm, ready to strike her, and stated. "Now you must pay."

"Hey! Leave her alone!" The Woodmon heard Veemon shout out, in which they turned to see him with a look of determination and disgust from their horrid actions.

"Stay out of this, runt, if you know what's good for ya." The Woodmon leader, who had several scars on his body, told Veemon, who was unfazed by his threat and replied as he clenched his fists, ready for a fight. "And if you know what's good for you, you'll do as I say and leave."

Seeing Veemon in his fighting stance caused the Woodmon leader to start laughing at him, followed by his minions.

"Oh, please. What can a weak little Rookie like you do?" The Woodmon leader asked mockingly, in which he received his answer when Veemon shot forward at the Woodmon leader and and shouted out. "Vee Headbutt!"

Veemon then slammed his head directly into the Woodmon's face, knocking him to the ground and cracking several small chunks of dead wood off of his face, causing the other Woodmon to call out in concern. "Boss!"

"Why you little pest..." The Woodmon leader began to say in anger, before he commanded in aggression. "What are you waiting for, boys? Crush him!"

"Right" Woodmon's minions replied loyally, before charging at Veemon.

"Branch Drill!" One of the Woodmon exclaimed, before his arms extended and he tried to smash Veemon,only for the Rookie Level Digimon to jump bak and avoid the attack.

As the Woodmon and Veemon continued to battle, with Veemon getting in some good hits and headbutts and the Woodmon smacking him around with their thick limbs, scracthing him up and bruising the 'V' marked Digimon, the female Digimon watched in amazement as to how strong Veemon was.

'He's doing all this for me?' She thought, amazed that someone had come to her aid.

"What's with this guy?" One of the Woodmon asked his comrades, before Veemon Veemon delivered a painful right hook to his face.

"I don't know. A Rookie shouldn't be this strong." Another replied in worry.

"I'm no ordinary Rookie." Veemon told the Woodmon, before demanding as he pointed to the female Digimon, who was hidden from his sight by the Woodmon leader. "Now let her go and we can all leave happy."

The Woodmon were about to reply, but before they could they were all encircled in a yellow, causing them to turn around to see their leader holding up his arms.

"Boss, what are you doing? The Rookie said he'd stop if let the girl go." One of the Woodmon asked in a worried tone, in which the Woodmon leader replied. "What I should've done in the first place."

Veemon watched as the Woodmon broke into pieces of Data, before the Woodmon leader absorbed them, in which he was then engulfed in energy, before growing to an immense size.

And when the light died down, no Woodmon were left, but now stood a new enemy, the Ultimae Level Digimon, Cherrymon.

"If you want something done right, don't get saps to do it." Cherrymon said.

Cherrymon then pulled some of the fruit growing from his head and threw them at Veemon, causing them to explode as they made contact with the ground and made the dragon Digimon scream out in pain from the blast, as he was knocked back and badly injured.

However, Cherrymon was not though with Veemon.

As Veemon tried to get up, Cherrymon's vines suddenly erupted from the ground and wrapped around Veemon tightly, restraining him, before Cherrymon brought his victim close to his face and smiled in amusement as the vines tightened around Veemon, making him scream out from the pain.

"This will teach ya to mess with me, Rookie!" Cherrymon told Veemon as he continued to crush the Digimon of Courage and Friendship, making him scream out louder.

But before Cherrymon could finish off Veemon, he heard two voices exclaim.

"Pepper Breath!"

"Pyro Sphere!"

Three fireballs exploded upon hitting Cherrymon's face, causing him to groan out from the burning and release Veemon from his hold, who managed to land on his feet and turn to see Agumon, Biyomon, Guilmon and Renamon now on the battle field.

"Ugh! You Rookies keep popping up like Roachmon! I'll just have to crush you all!" Cherrymon stated furiously, before throwing more explosive fruit at his enemies.

While Agumon and Guilmon jumped out of the way and Biyomon took to the skies, Renamon used her impressive speed to rush over to Veemon, pick up her comrade and jump away from the onslaught of Cherrymon's cherry bombs.

"Veemon, are you alright?" Renamon asked as she placed Veemon gently on the ground, in reply, Veemon smiled and nodded, making her smile back.

However, with her back turned, a wicked smile appeared across Cherrymon's face, seeing an opening to strike Renamon from behind, in which Cherrymon unleashed more of his vines, planning to impale the foxy Digimon.

"Renamon!" Guilmon shouted in concern, getting her attention, in which she turned and was shocked to see Guilmon suddenly rush in front of her, his arms spread out in a manner showing he was protecting her, causing Cherrymon to change the target of his attack to the kind hearted Virus Type.

The vines then wrapped around Guilmon and pulled the bearer of the Hazard mark over to Cherrymon, who held him closely, using him as a living shield.

Renamon was about to rush over and save him, however, Cherrymon's vines crushed Guilmon and made him scream out from the pain, before the Ultimate Level Digimon pulled out a handful of his deadly fruit and called out. "Not so fast, foxy!

"One more step and your little mate gets a mouthful. And trust me, if he eats my fruit, it'll do more than give him a stomach ache." Cherrymon told his enemies, who all stopped, knowing Cherrmon's fruit was quite toxic and would poison and destroy Guilmon from the inside out.

"Don't worry about me, guys... Renamon... Save yourself...!" Guilmon managed to say, only to be squeezed by Cherrymon's vines again and more pain to inflict his body, as he was unable to hold his screams back.

"Guilmon!" Renamon yelled out in concern, seeing her friend in pain and willing to sacrifice himself for her filled the vixen Digimon with mixed feelings towards Guilmon.

"Shut it, brat!" Cherrymon shouted at Guilmon, annoyed by all their interference, just to help a Digimon they had never met before.

And he was pushed further into rage as a voice exclaimed 'Fiery Fastball!", shooting Cherrymon with another destructive blast of fire, making him stumble backwards.

"Who dares attack me!" Cherrymon shouted in fury as a portion of his face now had a painful looking burn mark.

"I dare." A familiar voice to all those in the Digital World replied, in which everyone turned to see Shoutmon, his eyes burning with a desire to fight.

"Your... Your majesty..." Cherrymon stuttered out fearfully, before he released Guilmon, and tried to explain. "I... I was just..."

"Save it, you overgrown fruit salad!" Shoutmon interrupted as he pulled out his mic.

"You mess with my friends, you mess with the King!" Shoutmon exclaimed as he shot forward and struck Cherrymon.

----Moments later----

With the arrival of Shoutmon, the battle was cut short, and now Cherrymon was down and out, completely knocked out from Shoutmon's beat down, while Veemon and Guilmon were a little worse for ware, but they both had suffered worse and would survive.

Renamon knelt beside Guilmon's side, looking very worried and scared.

"Guilmon, are you ok?" she asked, very close to tears.

"I think so." Guilmon replied, before saying as a smile appeared on his face. "I'm just glad you're safe."

With that said, Guilmon fell unconscious, while after hearing Guilmon’s words surprised Renamon a little, but then again Guilmon was always there for her, not to mention he'd try to protect those he cared about, even if it was at the risk of his own life.

Meanwhile, as Agumon and Shoutmon checked on Veemon, the 'V' marked Digimon explained how he had gone off to be alone after accidentally hearing Gatomon and Patamon say they loved each other, not to mention her kissing the Digimon of Hope, before hearing the female Digimon call for help, which then caused the 'V' marked Digimon to shoot up and ask in worry. "Wait! Is she ok?"

"She's unconscious, but she should be fine." Biyomon informed Veemon, before saying. "But there is something about her."

Hearing that perked up Veemon's curiosity, causing him to ask. "What is it?"

"See for yourself." Biyomon replied as she escorted her friend to the Digimon he had saved, which upon seeing her made Veemon freeze, as lying before him was a Digimon that looked almost like him, except for a few differences.

The Digimon in question had bright green spikes from the bottom of her back, up to the top of her neck.

Her skin was blue like Veemon's, but was more on the lines of a mixture of violet and blue.

In short, she looked like a female version of Veemon, leaving Veemon speechless, not only from the fact he though he was the last of his kind, but there, before him was a creature that was captivating him by her beauty.

But snapping out of his stupor, Veemon gently picked the female Veemon up bridal style and carried her back to Shoutmon's castle for proper treatment for her injuries.

----Sometime later, back at Shoutmon’s castle----

The female Veemon slowly came to as she had just had a wonderful dream.

She was all alone in the forest, searching for the Digimon King's castle, but was ambushed by some Digimon thugs who beat her senseless, that was until a mysterious, brave and handsome Veemon stepped out and fought for her.

And as she opened her eyes, revealing they were a beautiful dark spring green colour, a blush spread across her face as she was no longer in the vast wilderness, but instead was in a nice warm bed and the very same Veemon who fought to protect her was at the end of the bed, his head resting on the mattress as he was sound asleep, her knight in shining blue armour.

'It's him!’ She thought, as it turned out this was no dream.

"Well, it's good to see you're finally awake." The female Veemon heard a voice say, in which she looked forwards to see a Gatomon walk up to her.

"Don't worry, you're safe." Gatomon reassured the female Veemon, as she sat up and let out a small groan.

"How's your body?" Gatomon asked.

"It hurts but not as much as before." She replied, in which Gatomon told the Veemon look-a-like. "Well, Cutemon did his best to heal you up. I'm guessing if Veemon hadn't stuck his neck out for you, you would've been deleted."

"Speaking of him, why is he sleeping at the end of the bed?" The female doppleganger asked.

In reply, Gatomon smiled and told her reassuringly. "Don't worry. Veemon's pretty tough. He just fell asleep while watching over you."

Hearing this caused her to ask. "You mean he's been by my side the whole time I was unconscious?"

"That's Veemon for you. After he came in here with you in his arms and told us about his fight, he promised that he'd watch over you until you felt better." Gatomon replied, before saying. "But I see the fight took more out of him then he let on."

"Is he alright?" She asked Gatomon, who nodded in reply and said. "Yeah, Veemon is a bit thickheaded, but he's pretty tough."

'And quite handsome.' The female Veemon thought to herself as a small blush spread across her face.

"So who are you and what's your name?" Gatomon then asked, a little embarrassed she had to.

"AquaVeemon." The Digimon now known as AquaVeemon replied.

Upon hearing her reply, Gatomon was awestruck and had to ask. "AquaVeemon? You're from the same species as Veemon?"

"Yes I was. In fact, if he is a Veemon, then I could need his help" AquaVeemon replied, staring at Veemon's sleeping form.

"What do you mean by that?" Gatomon asked curiously.

"I wasn't always alone. I came from a Zone called the V Zone, where Veemon of all Types lived peacefully, I had a loving family, many friends and no worries." AquaVeemon explained, before she told Gatomon as her expression and voice saddened. "That was until the day the Bagra Army and Tactimon showed up, demanding our power. He knew of the legendary Veemon who protected the Digital World from chaos ages ago before being sealed in a DigiCard when the Digital World's core shattered and wanted us to join him, but we refused as we didn't want to be associated with the Bagra Army in any way. In response Tactimon launched a full scale attack on the V Zone, destroying everyone and everything, including my parents. My dad and mum told me to run as far as I could and not to look back as they would hold off the Bagra Army as best they could before they told me they loved me and I ran."

"After the fight was over, I returned to the V Zone to see everything was gone, I was all alone." AquaVeemon told Gatomon, before she started to cry as the memories of her nightmarish past entered her mind, before she continued. "I then spent my time traveling through the Digital World, hoping to find any Veemon who survived the attack, but no matter where I looked I was always alone. That's when I went to seek out the Digimon King in the hopes he could help me with my search, but before I could reach his castle those Woodmon attacked me and he saved my life."

"That's terrible." Gatomon said sadly.

"I'll be fine" AquaVeemon said as she got out of bed, but then she groaned in pain and grabbed her right shoulder.

"Are you alright?" Gatomon asked in concern.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." AquaVeemon replied as she and Gatomon left Veemon's bedroom and met up with Biyomon.

"Well, Mervamon said she knows the location of a hot spring nearby that could help us." Biyomon said, before asking. "Should we trust her?"

"Lunamon knows her and says they're friends. So I trust her." Gatomon replied, believing in their friendship, before the feline Digimon turned to AquaVeemon and asked. "AquaVeemon, why not come with us? I bet the spring water will help heal you too."

"Sure." AquaVeemon replied as she smiled.

----A while later----

Mervamon turned to Lunamon, Biyomon and AquaVeemon who was walking behind them.

"Where's the other two?" Mervamon asked.

"Come on! Stop worrying about Guilmon, he'll be fine. You need to rest too." Gatomon insisted as she dragged Renamon across the floor by her tail.

"Let me go!" Renamon urged.

"Ahem. Renamon, you need your rest. You haven't slept sometime now. The spring would do you good" Mervamon told her. "And don't worry, Beelzemon told me he'd keep an eye on your mate."

Renamon blushed a little from being called Guilmon's mate.

But before she could reply and correct Mervamon, the Mega Level Digimon told her friends. "Now off we go. Trust me these hot springs are great, they made me the Digimon I am today."

"Alright." They agreed.

As they began to leave the castle of the Digimon King, following Mervamon, none of them noticed the sly smile on her face.
