{4th and final book in the Digimon: Dark Worlds series}
Four years have now passed since the Shadow Triad was defeated by the Digidestined. While everyone has found their own paths in life, portals between the Digital and human world have opened up...
Mila and Meicoomon had been looking around the land for a while now, searching around for Minervamon... The entire time they were looking around, Mila could sense how tense Meicoomon was from her spreading infection, but neither would say much to one another about it, creating a bit of awkward tension for a while... "Urgh, this is impossible..." Meicoomon weakly grumbled. "I can't... We... Urgh..." Meicoomon's legs were shaky, stopping after she was now struggling to walk completely straight. "Meicoomon come on... Just let me carry you!" Mila worriedly says. "You're obviously not ok." "No... I'm...Urgh..." Meicoomon nearly fell over, but Meicoomon quickly grabbed her, pulling her up and gently holding onto her. "Meicoomon, just let me help you. We won't be able to find Minervamon if you pass out." "I know, but... At this rate... I don't think we'll ever find her." Meicoomon weakly grumbled. "And it doesn't help... That we have no idea where she is! And it's not like we can just... Call out for her...And she'll come to us..." "I mean... It wouldn't hurt to try, right? It's not like we have anything to lose at this point." Mila says. Mila paused, looking around the area... "MINERVAMON!! IF YOU'RE AROUND HERE, COME ON OUT!!" Mila screamed as loud as she could, her voice echoing througout the area. The two were silent for a moment, until they could hear rapid footsteps approaching them from behind...

As a Digimon suddenly jumped onto the ground behind them. "EEK!!" Mila squeaked nervously, quickly turning around to face Minervamon. "Heya! You called for me?" Minervamon asked, smiling down at the two. "Oh, Minervamon! Thank goodness, you scared me..." Mila sighed with relief. "This was easier than I thought it would be, heheh... Um, we have to tell you something important. It's about-" "Hold up!" Minervamon quickly put a hand out, cutting off Mila. "Before we speak, let's make this a little fun... How about we play a little game of chase first? You chase me... And if you catch me, then we can talk!" "Wait, what? B-but... The Argomons..." Mila replied nervously. "What if we run into them...? It's not exactly safe to play games out here right now..." "Less talking, more chasing! Chase me to the mountains!" Minervamon giggled, quickly taking a few giant leaps away. "Catch me if you can! Haha!" And with that, Minervamon hopped off. "...URGH!! Is she serious right now?!" Meicoomon angrily growled. "We're in the middle of a serious crisis that threatens our worlds and that stupid Digimon just wants to play games with me?! How immature can you be?!" Meicoomon let out a low frustrated growl, hopping out of Mila's arms. "Meicoomon, please calm down! It's not like you to get this angry..." Mila nervously spoke. "Maybe we should go find the others to help us..." "No. I'm ending this now." Meicoomon grumbled. "Mila, have me Digivolve. It'll be easier to catch her." "Are you... Sure? Even if you Digivolve... You're still incredibly weak right now." Mila says. "I'll be fine. Trust me." Meicoomon replied sternly. "Um... Alright..." "MEICOOMON DIGIVOLVE TO... MEICRACKMON!!" Meicrackmon let out a low growl, kneeling down as she pointed to her back. "...Get on. Let's get this over with."
Meanwhile... Serena was inside of one of the Submarimons, once again down under the ocean. Submarimon was going the same route that lead to Neptunemon's castle, nervously pausing when he saw the crumbling conditions of the cave before their eyes. "I-I don't know about this, Serena..." Submarimon nervously mumbled. "This cave... It looks more damaged than ever before... M-maybe I should..." "We're not going back!" Serena snapped in annoyance. "Come on, Submarimon, it's not like the cave is gonna collapse on top of us again." "That's not... Um, ok..." Submarimon paused, watching a tiny piece of rubble fall off the cave ceiling. "Let's just... Get this over with." Submarimon took a deep breath, as he quickly swam forward into the cave. Submarimon was swimming as fast as he could, doing his best to dodge the falling rubble off the cave ceilings. "Submarimon, look out!" Serena shouted, pointing to a giant rock that was falling above them. Submarimon tried to quickly swim past the rock... "OWW!!" But the rock quickly fell on top of Submarimon's tail, pinning him roughly into the cave floors. "Crap... Submarimon, are you alright?!" Serena asked. "I think so, but... Urgh, I can't move..." Submarimon grumbled. He tried to wriggle around, but couldn't free his tail from underneath the rock. As Submarimon tried to wriggle free, Serena looked up at the ceiling, seeing the amount of cracks and small pebbles falling down, only making her worry more and more. 'This can't be happening... Not again.' Serena thought to herself, letting out a shaky, nervous sigh. 'No... We have to make it out of this alive... We have to. ...I hope so.'
