The sky was now completely covered in dark uninviting rain clouds. Izumi wiped away the dried-up tears that were covering her face.

"Do we follow him?" Tomoki spoke up after a deafening silence.

"It's best if we don't!" Junpei replied, knowing what's good for him.

"No, we have to, or he's going to destroy the Village of Beginning!" Izumi moved her eyes surveying the three boys she had grown to know. She let out a sigh because they looked very tired from their last battle. "Fine then," she muttered unwillingly. Izumi turned back towards the direction where they last saw Takuya before his take off. Tomoki ran up to her and grabbed her left hand.

"Takuya's going to be okay, right?" Tomoki asked as he looked up to her with determination in his eyes.

"I honestly don't know what to believe, Tomoki," Izumi's eyes turned gloomy due to sorrow.

"Well, we've got to help him, before he gets himself into a lot of trouble!"

"I know, but you guys seem so tired from your previous battle."

"Not to worry! We'll persuade Kouji and Junpei to follow Takuya with us."

"How exactly do we plan on doing that?"

"Easy! Just do your girl charm on Kouji and Junpei!" Tomoki smiled with his eyes closed.

"Well... I'll give it a try!" Izumi walked up to Junpei first, who was lying down on a boulder. "Junpei, will you please come with Tomoki and I to the Village of Beginning? It would break my heart if we don't go." Junpei wasn't listening; instead, he was daydreaming about Izumi having dinner with him at a five-star restaurant.

"Of course!" Junpei responded. Izumi gave a small, short giggle and winked at Tomoki.

Izumi knew who was next, and thought it would be a challenge to convince Kouji to come along. She decided the best approach to this problem was to tell Kouji how much Takuya meant to them. She walked to her left and saw Kouji sitting on a boulder. She took a deep breath before she began to speak to him. "Kouji?" Izumi snapped Kouji to his senses.

Kouji looked up at Izumi, "What is it?"

"Will you come with the rest of us to the Village of Beginning?"

"Sure. Why not?" Kouji got off of his boulder right after Junpei rolled off of his.

"Well, that was easy!" Izumi thought and turned around to give Tomoki another wink.

They hiked up the mountain on the other side of the Digimon valley. The wind blew in their faces harshly. "Perfect now the winds against me!" She thought to herself with a sigh. The clouds were darker than ever and Izumi had a bad feeling about what was happening in the Village of Beginning. She turned around to look at the others. They were struggling to try to keep up with her, but it was no use, she was way too far ahead. Dust started to pile up in gusts of wind and blew against the chosen children. As they went higher up the mountain, the dusty wind began to weaken and fade away.

Kouji, Tomoki and Junpei finally caught up with Izumi and they all looked at her with concerned eyes. Izumi sped up and beat the rest to the top of the mountain.

"Mama, why won't Izumi take a break?" Patamon asked from on top of Bokomon's head.

"Because she cares for him," Bokomon answered shortly. They all nodded. Even Junpei had to admit that Izumi really did care for Takuya.

Izumi couldn't take it anymore. She wanted to get to the Village of Beginning faster.

"Junpei, let's spirit evolve so we can get to the Village of Beginning faster!" Izumi commanded. Junpei spirit evolved at the same time Izumi did. "All right! Junpei, take Kouji, Bokomon and Neemon with you and I'll take Patamon and Tomoki with me.

"Got it!" Junpei grabbed his passengers and flew of off the mountain. Izumi didn't want to waste any more valuable time so she did the same.

"So what was up with those pathetic children?" Annihiliator asked from behind the swiftly flying Ender.

"What do you mean?" Ender asked with a raspy voice.

"Well, I didn't like how close you were getting with that girl!"

Ender let out a small growl. "I do not know what you speak of, Annihilator."

"You know exactly what I speak of!" Annihilator spoke angrily, "You were making direct contact with that worthless child. We're going to have to destroy her and her supporters."

"Will you shut up?"

"Fine, I'll drop the subject, but you should consider destroying them, or I will!"

************************

Izumi and Junpei flew side by side, although Izumi tried to keep her distance.

"We're going to have to speed up!" Izumi yelled to Junpei and made a right turn, desperate to reach the Village of Beginning before Takuya and his evil partner do.

"Right!" Junpei followed along behind her.

They kept flying until they saw something in the ground sparkling. Izumi guessed it might be the Village of Beginning, so she looked at Junpei and pointed to the sparkling portion of the ground and dived towards it.

When Izumi saw that there was a giant tree covering decorated eggs, she knew it was their destination. Junpei landed shortly after Izumi did and he released his passengers on the ground. Izumi looked around franticly trying to see if Takuya had made it yet.

"I've got a question," Bokomon raised his right hand, "What do we do when Takuya gets here?" The question worked its way through the children's systems and they came up with nothing.

"You know what we really need now?" Kouji implied.

"What?" Junpei asked in wonder.

"A good night sleep!" Kouji smiled. Everyone except Izumi nodded. She didn't really like the idea at all, but everyone else agreed with Kouji's idea, so she decided to go along with it.

The chosen children made camp and rested their bodies for the day that lay ahead of them.

************************

"Faster, Ender, faster!" Annihilator yelled from behind. Ender just nodded and boosted up his speed. They both headed in for a landing.

"There it is!" Ender smiled.

"Sure is," Annihilator laughed with humor.

"Let's destroy this place once and for all," Ender yelled.

Do the chosen children have a chance of survival? Will Ender ever stop his evil ways and rejoin the good guys? You'll only know for sure on the next chapter of Digimon: Digital Monsters - Never Forgotten!
