Chapter 1 – The Digiportal
げつ ふま
Takato grinned excessively as he ran home to get a phone. "Man, everyone's gonna freak when I tell them I found a Digiportal!"
Almost slamming into the sliding glass door of his parents' home/bakery, he bolts up the stairs and into his room, grabbing his Digivice and cell phone.
Dialing franticly, he waits for Rika to pick up.
"Hello?" she said with a puzzled tone.
"Rika! It's Takato, come over by the old building in the park, you know, where Guilmon lived? I'll explain when you get there. Oh, yea, call Henry, Suzy, and Jeri also."
"But, Taka-" she started to say, only to be cut of by the sound a dead line.
Already out the door, Takato dialed Kazu's number.
"Yea, who is it?" Kazu said as he picked up.
"Kazu, is Kenta with you?" Takato asked.
"Yea, why?"
"Both of you come to Guilmon's old home in the park," Takato said, ending the call.
He repeated the process with Ryo, ending up at the building by the time he was finished. At that point, he just sat down and waited for the others.
Henry and Suzy were the first to show up, with Kazu and Kenta closely behind. Jeri and Ryo came a couple minutes later, and Rika a few minutes after them.
"Ok, Goggle-head, we're all here, so what is so important that you cut me off in the middle of a sentence?" Rika asked sort of annoyingly.
Without a word, Takato stood up, ran to the hole in the back of the building, and pointed into it. "That," he said.
Everyone came over and gasped.
"A Digiportal!" they said in unison.
Suzy, Rika, and Henry started to cry in joy while the other grew excited at the thought of seeing their old partners again.
"Tomorrow, I'm setting out. If you want to come, be here by 10:00 am. I leave on the dot," Takato informed the others. "Bring your Digivice and modify cards also."
"Got it," they said, departing.
Rika was waiting at the end of the path for Takato.
"Thank you, Takato," she said sincerely. "You have no idea how much this means to me."
"What, all I did was find a Digiportal," Takato said, starting to walk down the path with Rika.
"No, it was much more than that," she said. "You have reunited me with a lost friend."
"Ok, well, see you tomorrow at ten," he said, beginning to jog home.
