They had gathered at Gennai's house. The former Blooddramon, Aurimon, was with them. Gennai turned to face them. "You did well." Aurimon looked ashamed.
"I have discovered something interesting." At this, Izzy and Allison looked up, interested. "Not only is there one more Digidestined then I expected," everyone but Allison understood that remark, "but it seems that at least nine more have yet to come." The Digidestined looked startled. "What's more, Aurimon is one of their Digimon."
Aurimon perked up. "Then I'll have a chance to right my evil deeds." Gennai nodded.
"But now for the good news. You will all be going home." The Digidestined, except for Allison, seemed enthusiastic about the idea.
"Already," she asked, a little disappointed.
Gennai nodded. He handed each of the Digidestined a small pocket-sized computer. "This will allow you to keep in touch with each other and me to let you know if you need to return."
Moments later, the Digidestined stood by the top of the stairs. Kari had given Gatomon her whistle. Allison, sad to be leaving Draxmon so soon, handed a small necklace she had made to the Digimon. "I hope I'll see you again," Allison said.
"Me too."
The first eight Digidestined held their digivices near each other. Soon, they were gone. Allison held up her digivice. As the silver light embraced her, she said, "Goodbye!" Then she, too, was gone, leaving the Digimon behind. They gazed up at the sky for a few moments, then turned and as one walked back into Gennai's house.
Who are the other Digidestined? Is the Digiworld safe from further threats? Look for the next story from Argent Dragon to find out.
