When Joe Kido and T.K. Takaishi reached shore, two more red dots appeared on Tai's Digivice. The seven Digivices scattered across different locations resonated with one another. Agumon and Unimon, who were serving as antennas, received support from all seven Digivices at that moment. Their wounds rapidly healed, and their depleted strength was replenished.
Compared with the power of the Digivices, Zheng Fan's method of condensing data energy into spheres was crude. His approach merely provided the wounded with favorable external conditions; the healing still depended on the Digimon's own abilities. The Digivices' power, however, penetrated deep into their Digicores, repairing every damaged part.
Through the efforts of the seven Digivices, Unimon finally let out a piercing cry. "Unimon, digivolve to... Gabumon!"
Once Agumon and Gabumon returned to their peak condition, they could perform their antenna functions more effectively. At last, an eighth red dot appeared on the Digivices.
The eighth Digivice belonged to Kari. Not long ago, all eight Digivices had arrived on Earth together. But because Kari had suddenly caught a cold and missed Summer Camp, the eighth Digivice had been forced to seek her out on its own.
Following the presence of light, the eighth Digivice had reached Kari's room, only for Tai to come home unexpectedly before it could encounter her.
Afterward, Kari's cat had discovered the strange object. Following a string of accidents, the cat lost the Digivice, and a passing crow carried it back to its nest. During the Bakemon sweeps, the Digivice had even fought back. When its power erupted, it could easily annihilate the bodiless Bakemon, but when dormant, it was completely harmless. As it happened, the Rookie-level DemiDevimon stood right at that threshold. If DemiDevimon's power had been just a little greater, it would have provoked the Digivice into resisting.
