A New Challenge [Canons Only]

[Henry Wong]

“That is, if we can even figure out how to get back to the digital world again,” Henry remarked, his eyes drifting between the others’ faces as he spoke, maybe he would be able to figure out what they were thinking from a quick glance over of them all. ...Nah. “It’s not exactly an easy thing to do,” the teenager shrugged, not having much faith when it came to whether or not they would be able to get to the digital world in the first place.

It wasn’t as if he didn’t want to go, it just seemed much more likely that they wouldn’t be able to go. However, Terriermon had his little arms folded across his chest and seemed to be shaking his head at every word that escaped his tamer’s lips. The bunny digimon had a bit more faith in the idea, though he too seriously wondered how they would accomplish such a feat. And waiting for a friendly digimon to just prance right on over to them and tell the group of kids in full detail what was wrong with the two worlds now? Yeah, that was stupid.

[Kazai]

Going to the Digital World did seem to be the only way that they would be able to get through this, but at the same time, the tamers didn't have a way to get there. there was no way for their group to travel to another dimension without any kind of aid. Last time, they had needed Hypnos's help to get there, and to this point, they knew nothing of Hypnos's whereabouts.

"You're right... Getting there isn't very likely," Rika said regretably. She then stood up and clenched her fists. They were stuck, and this was getting very frustrating. She didn't want to sit idly by and let Digimon ravage the human world.

"There has to be a way, I know it," she said very passionately. "Maybe we just need to split up and look. Maybe there's a we can find out what happened to Hypnos. Or maybe we can find Yamaki."

[Takato Matsuki]

"Would it really hurt to wait until it does happen? We ought to run into at least one friendly digimon at some point. Its not like we've had much trouble fending off digimon from here anyways." Takato said in response to Kazu. "We've been to the digital world before, the dangers we faced there were way greater than what we have faced here. I just think it would be a better hang back until we are certain we are ready for it. We aren't going to be of any help if we end up getting killed before we can do anything about it."

Takato looked to Henry and Rika, but both seemed to completely ignore his concerns. That was just a bit... Disheartening. But if they were bent on going, Takato wasn't going to let them go on their own. So there was little choice left to him. Hypnos... He wasn't too sure about. Didn't they go over this? They weren't even sure what they were doing now. Why would Hypnos know how to get to the digital world? "I think the monster makers would have a better idea on how to get to the digital world. Hypnos only ever worked to destroy digimon that entered the real world." Takato mentioned. "Besides, its not like it would be hard to find them. Henry's Dad is one, and he could probably get in contact with the others."

[Impmon]

"Does it necessarily have to be a good digimon?" Impmon remarked. "Any digimon would do. Some would just need more.. convincing than others." If they found a good digimon that would tell them the whole story? Great. But they could just as easily hunt down any digimon and make any that didn't co-operate spill. They just needed a few digimon that knew. That was all.

Either way though, Impmon thought this was going to be a very stupid move. Were they that arrogant that they thought they could just walk into the digital world and expect to not face considerable threats? They were already there once, surely they would know better than to think they could handle it when they barely survived the first time? Well, they didn't know how to get to the digital world, so, at least that would slow them down, and give them enough time to strengthen up.

There still was one issue though. "So, if we ever do get to the digital world, what are we going to do with Calumon?" he asked. "Can't exactly leave the cream puff on his own out here to be captured by the next digimon than emerges, and if we bring him, it'll be an even greater risk of him getting captured."

[Kaze]

Jeri looked around at everyone, sitting upon the ground as she continued to listen. But all the while, it seemed as if her thoughts were also separate from the conversation too. Going back to the digital world, that was the key thing that seemed to repeat itself over and over. Getting there was hard enough, but what they planned to go there once they arrived was even more of a mystery. Maybe it would be better to just wait for a digimon to appear and they could question it, yet that would take time and none of them knew how much of that they had.

There was also the question that Impmon purposed, which was what to do with Calumon? Leaving him in the digital world seemed like the right thing, but after all that was happening, could he really be safe there anymore? At least within the human world, he'd have herself and the others to look after him, but there he would be alone for the majority of the time. From what she had been told, the Sovereigns hadn't been too friendly towards him, mostly keeping him as an object if anything rather than a fellow digimon.

"I....We...could always keep him here..In the Real World. It would be somewhat safer and maybe even one of us...could stay behind to make sure that everything remains fine...here.."

Placing her hand under her chin, Jeri wasn't sure if her idea would even be heard. After all, everyone else had their own plans and ideas which were likely to be ten times better than her own.

[Stick]

The more comments that were made just brought up more things for them to worry about as Kazu knew that it had taken them some time to find a digital gate to begin with. Hypnos had been helpful the last time that they went to the Digital World, but that had also led to their Digimon getting sent back in the first place. Kazu wasn't even sure if it was such a good idea to tell any of the adults anyway as their involvement might prevent any future attempts on going to the Digital World at all.

Kazu listened as Takato talked about the fact that they could handle anything that came through from the Digital World with ease, which was not actually true. The fact that the Devas had already been brought up in this conversation should have reminded everyone what Ultimate level Digimon could do to the city like LadyDevimon who was still out and about thanks to Kazu. "I have to agree with Takato about leaving Hypnos out of this. We don't even know if Yamaki is still in with them or not, and I am leaning towards not as he would have at least come to question us about new Digimon appearing in the Human World."

Impmon's idea of beating a Digimon into talking just seemed odd to Kazu. He just couldn't see any Digimon take a beating, surrendering, and then talking about the goings on in the Digital World. There was also the thought that most Digimon automatically became data after getting their butts kicked by a tamer, which sort of made the whole asking a Digimon thing a mute subject.

Jeri's comment of leaving Calumon with one of them while the others went to the Digital World sort of matched his thought earlier, but if multiple Digimon attacked while the others were gone then that one person would be defenseless. "I think Jeri is on to the right idea about what to do with Calumon except it should be more than one staying behind. Worse case scenario is another Vikaralamon incident which did not turn out that well for our place of residence."

"Just out of curiousity, has anyone thought about what we would do if a Mega-level Digimon came through a Digital Gate? Are you guys still able to Bio-Merge after all this time?" That thought had just popped into his head as he thought about worse case scenarios as it was one that he hadn't even considered. It hadn't happened yet, but what if a Digimon of that caliber came over for a visit?

[Kazai]

A lot of good points had been brought up, and most of which Rika would have to agree with. It would most likely be best to leave Hypnos completely out of this if it were true that Yamaki were no longer with them, but this still obviously posed a problem. If they didn't have Hypnos's technology to help them, the chances of them getting to the Digital World on their own were slim at best. This meant that they were rather stuck. The only thing Rika could reason to do was locate Yamaki and ask him for help. The only problem was that was much easier said than done. There was no reason to talk about the Digital World any longer if it weren't feasible for them to get there.

On the other hand, Rika went back to pondering momentarily. Kazu had brought up another pretty good point about being able to biomerge. So far, the furthest that Rika had gone was to the Champion stage. What if a mega level Digimon had come? Well, she wasn't sure. Could she go higher than champion? She paused momentarily.

"Well, the truth be told... Renamon and I have trouble going to even Champion right now without the help of a Digimodify card."

[Impmon]

Well, this was useless. It seemed that no matter what point he made, they were insistent on heading into the digital world head first. Its not like it would be too difficult to get information out of a digimon. They just had to beat it up enough that it knew it's life was in danger. There were very few beings in existence, that wouldn't do anything they could to stay alive, when faced with their imminent doom, including spill whatever information they could give. It would be so easy, but the others didn't seem to want to have at it.

In regards to Calumon, it seemed like the best idea to leave him behind. Jeri was definitely on the right track, and some of them staying behind to hold the fort down was even better. "Well, I'm definitely staying behind. No way I'm taking Mako and Ai." Impmon remarked, snorting. There was also the point he'd be pretty much useless without his tamers to support him.
