A/N: Although I've said that this is a rewrite of Season 02, the
Digidestined have never seen Sora Takenouchi before in their whole lives
prior to this fic. Just letting yall know so there won't be any confusion.
Chapter 1
I've heard a lot about them and their adventures, and wanted to meet them. So I packed my bags and headed to Odaiba, to meet the famous gang of kids who called themselves the Digidestined.
After settling sown at my new apartment, one night I walked into a concert. And there I saw one of them. Yamato Ishida. I stayed and listened, and afterwards, I followed him to his friend's garage, where he and his band rehearse. Tomorrow I would talk to him.
It was a Saturday. I walked to the place, and heard the music. I leaned next to a wall and waited for them to finish a song. When they stopped, I clapped slowly. They all turned.
"Yamato Ishida. It's a pleasure."
"Oh, you must be a fan, right?" Matt said. "That was 'Stop'. Would you like to hear some more, uh.?"
"Sora Takenouchi. I take it you're busy. I'll wait."
So I stayed to listen to a few of their songs. I never thought that the Teenage Wolves were that good. After the rehearsal, Matt came up to me.
"So, Sora, right? You're not from around here, are you?"
"No, I'm just visiting. I live in Houston."
"Well, you seem to know who I am. Are you coming to my upcoming concert?"
"Why not."
"Maybe you would join me and the rest of the group afterwards. You know, hang out."
"Uh-huh. Ok. See you Tuesday, then. By the way, who's coming?"
"The band and a couple of my friends form high school. You'll like them. They're great."
"I'll be there."
"Yeah. Bye!"
I waved. So I would meet them all.
On Tuesday I went to the concert, and afterwards I met up Matt and his band and went to find the others. They were already at the café. Taichi 'Tai' Kamiya, Koushiro 'Izzy' Izumi, and Mimi Tachikawa. They were just as Centarumon described them. We chatted for some time and then ordered. They seemed rather nice.
After that I was saying goodbye to Matt.
"I had a wonderful time." I said.
"Well, maybe we could do this again sometime."
"Sure."
We were both silent for a while.
"How come Joe didn't come?"
"You already know Joe? You two met?"
"Oh, no, we didn't meet."
"Then how do you know?"
"I know more than you think."
Matt was surprised. But he quickly regained himself.
"How would you like to tell us why you're really here?"
"I'd love that. When?"
"Tomorrow evening, at the park?"
"I'll be there."
"Goodbye."
"Bye."
On my way to my place, I saw someone. She had her back to me, and she had long blue hair. I knew who she was - Arukenimon. I hid in the shadows and listened.
"I'm tired of all those Digidestined kids messing up our mission." She was saying. "I'll have to destroy them once and for all. If you want to have something done, you have to do it yourself."
She made attack plans, talking to someone in the shadows. I couldn't see his face, but I knew that he was Mummymon. I went back to my apartment and thought quickly. There was no way that I could warn them tonight - I haven't met all of them yet. I decided to call it a night. There was precious little I could for them from here.
That night I couldn't sleep. What if they won't buy my backup story? Then what? There is no way I could tell them the truth. They must never know who I really am. My cell phone rang, and I answered it. The familiar buzzing sound filled my ears, and I knew exactly what I had to do.
I got up and got my notebook computer from its travel case. Upon hitting the power button, the screen went blue. The little numbers flashed on the screen, and for a while I didn't know what they meant. But then, one by one, they started to make sense.
"Sora, is that you?"
"Of course it's me. What's going on?"
"An update, from your parents."
"What is it?"
"I'll put them through."
I sighed. I hated this way of communication. But that was the only way to communicate from the digital world. And I also knew that unless it was something very important, my parents would never use it.
My mother came online.
"Sora, darling, how are you?"
"I'm doing fine."
"How's the mission?"
"Fine. You have an update for me?"
"Yes, listen closely. I'm reassigning the command of the port to LD."
"We don't have to use code names. We're in a private chat room, you know that."
"That is yet another thing. One of the Digidestined from Japan is a hacker. His name is Koushiro Izumi. Computer connections expert."
"I think I can handle a little hacker."
"We will monitor your progress. And Sora, dear, don't get too close to them. You know that is not meant to be."
"Like I ever even thought about that. They are nothing more than pawns in our plan, like you said."
"Yes, of course. And keep an eye on the hacker."
"Of course."
The link went dead.
Good old mum. Always keeping an eye on things. I wondered if they were watching me right now.
