Homeward Bound

Synopsis
The tamers start to board the ark, but Takato is torn between going home and waiting for Rika. Rika is holding Impmon while riding Kyuubimon, as they head towards the ark. They are going too slow, so Rika slashes a Speed Plug-In. Back at the ark, the ark starts moving, so Ryo and Cyberdramon go out after Rika as Takato rushes to get on board. Takato trips, so Guilmon tries to convince the ark to stop. Everyone forms a chain to try and pull up Takato, but he and Calumon wind up falling. Guilmon yells for the ark to stop, and surprisingly it does. Rika, Kyuubimon, Ryo and Cyberdramon arrive, and enter the ark after Rika grabs Takato and Calumon. Kyuubimon degenerates to Renamon and Cyberdramon degenerates to Monodramon. Kenta hears something, and notices that MarineAngemon snuck into his pocket, and is pushing out a D-Arc. With everyone on board, the ark seals itself and resumes moving. Suddenly the arc stops again, due to the D-Reaper attacking. The path of light vanishes, and the ark starts falling. Takato starts begging the ark to get them home, until it connects to his PDA and says "OK". The ark rushes towards the real world, but is falling apart on the way. The ark makes it to the real world, and the children all step off to see their parents waiting for them. Impmon wanders off, while Riley informs Yamaki that Jen's parents said she could make her own way home. Takato asks his parents if he can bring Jeri home, and they say yes. The ark suddenly collapses and disappears. On the train Takato sspills his heart to Jeri about how he feels about her, but her only reaction is to read the ingredients on the meal in her lap. He brings her to her father, who picks her up in his car, and Calumon goes with her. While Takato and Guilmon are waiting for a train back, Takato notices that the TV is showing the D-Reaper, who has followed them to the real world!
