Sockit Takuya

Summary
Takuya, in the form of Agunimon, returns to the battle site where his plan failed, but is unable to find anyone. He begins to search for his friends, fearing the worst. As he searches, he senses rain before it begins and is baffled by it. Takuya realizes that although he was able to become a digimon, he had never made the connection that he was a part of the world around him. The rain stops and he continues on. He soon finds Bokomon and Neemon being tormented by a Sepikmon, who only wants to be friends. After making sure they are all right and finding out all he can about his friends, he scolds Sepikmon for being reckless and tells him that if he acts like himself, he'll get plenty of friends. Sepikmon decides to help them and uses his Spirit Boomerang to lead them to Mercurymon, who is holding the others.

J.P., Zoe, and Tommy are being held by Mercurymon and Ranamon while several Datamon attempt to release the spirits in their D-Tectors. Ranamon becomes impatient and decides to force the location of Takuya and Koji out of the three by tickling Tommy and Zoe's noses, armpits, and belly buttons. When that fails, she uses an attack to torture J.P. Koji, who has managed to track down his friends, spirit evolves to Lobomon. He begins to battle Mercurymon, but is still injured from his battle with Duskmon and finds himself overpowered, especially when Ranamon joins the fight as Calmaramon. Agunimon finally manages to find his friends, but realizes how dire the situation is and that he needs to proceed cautiously. He senses a change in atmosphere and becomes aware that it is about to rain again. He begins to use the elements of nature to his advantage, making the wind pick up and making snow fall. He helps Lobomon just as he seems to be beaten and is able to take the upper hand against Ranamon and Mercurymon. Using nature to amplify their powers, they manage to drive off return the D-Tectors to J.P., Zoe, and Tommy and drive off Ranamon and Mercurymon. Afterwards, everyone notes how much Takuya has grown up, but unknown to them, Mercurymon has a plan to defeat them.
