Boy, these movies kinda take it out of you. Well, I guess it makes sense considering it is the longest Digimon movie the series has ever done (.tri doesn't count as it's multiple episodes put together, apparently.)

Anyways, welcome to another special story in my Digimon series, this time, it's my rendition of the events of the Adventure 02 movie, "Digimon Hurricane Landing! Transcendent Evolution! The Golden Digimentals"

Now this story takes us Stateside, (USA! USA! USA!) and takes place after the defeat of the Kaiser, at least to me. It actually premiered a few days before the TonosamaGekomon episode which why on Earth are they on vacation during this time? The Digital World is not safe yet!

Well, that's really all I want to say right now, so let's get on with this.

Part 1: Hurricane Landing

"Ah, yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it." – Rafiki, The Lion King

Okachimachi District, Taito Ward, Tokyo, Japan. Dec. 31st, 2016. 1023 Hours.
P.O.V. – Ross McGlathery

You know, I wish I could honestly say that was that when it came to Osamu's defeat. That we had stopped him and everything would go back to what essentially constitutes as normal for us. However, that can never be the case for us. For the New Breed, most of them were relaxed, thinking their job was more or less over. For those of us that took part in the '99 Adventure, we knew better. Wizarmon's warning still ran in our heads about the whole 'the enemy is not who you are fighting now. There is a far greater darkness.' line that he said at the Fuji TV building.

Still, after everything that had happened, we all decided that we needed at least somewhat of a respite from everything. It was still August so we still had a summer break to make up and we all went different ways with it. Koushiro had his computer, Jou was focused on his studies, Taichi was sticking around town for practice and a game he was going to have soon, Sora was spending some time with her mother and learning lessons in ie-moto, Yamato had his band, the new kids were all hanging out at the beach… and Ken was still keeping an eye on his brother. He was having a more somber summer vacation.

As for the rest of us, Mimi decided she wanted to visit her aunt in New York, and decided to invite a few of us to come along with her. I, of course, was asked first because we were dating, and Hikari and Takeru also decided to join as well. We got to New York and we were having a pretty nice time enjoying the sights, even though Hikari and I already saw a lot of it last summer. We even ran into Michael who doing fine and was happy to hear that the Digital World had been saved for the time being. However, just when we think we've got a moment to ourselves without any sort of trouble, something has to ruin it.

And the worst part was I couldn't do almost anything about it…

Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States. August 19th, 2002. 0941 Hours.

"That's it!" Mimi declared as she finished saving all the photos we took to her computer, including one of Takeru and Hikari looking very friendly with each other.
"Daisuke-kun will definitely get jealous when he sees these pictures!" Takeru joked.
"We sure we should show him then? I'm a bit worried he may try to murder you if that's the case." I pointed out.
"Just watch yourself then if you decide to do that." Mimi agreed with me.
"So what do we do now?" Guilmon asked, while wearing his disguise. We actually came up with a brilliant way to get the Digimon past airport security. We just leave them in the Digital World then pick them up once we were in the city. Certainly brought about fewer questions that we did not want to answer.
"Well, that's more or less up to you guys." Palmon told him.
"I do want to see The Producers again before we leave in the next few days." I said.
"You saw that last year, and I've never heard you laugh so hard in public before." Hikari said.
"It was a great show!"
"We could use the time to figure out what we're going to do about Taichi-san and Sora-san." Mimi whispered in my ear.
"You're still on that?" I confided in Mimi that Taichi had a crush on Sora and according to Mimi Sora felt the same. So she decided to play matchmaker and has been trying to figure out how to get them to go out with each other.

"Huh?" Hikari suddenly gasped.
"Hikari, what's wrong?" Tailmon asked from her arms.
"Hikari-chan?" Takeru tried to get her attention.
"A crying Digimon is nearby…" She informed. I guess being the bearer of the Crest of Light gives Hikari a sort of gift when it comes to Digimon. I've never truly questioned it as I wouldn't know where to being trying to figure it out.
"A Digimon? What? Like Betamon?" Mimi wondered.
"It's looking for something…"
"Then not Betamon…" I said. Suddenly, both myself and Mimi's D-3's began beeping.
"Huh?" We both questioned as we picked them up and looked at them. The screen was just flashing red with nothing else. A clear, white band began to swarm around us and a wind picked up before everything went black.

P.O.V. – Third Person

"Mimi-san!" "Ross-chan!" "Guilmon!" "Palmon!" Both humans and Digimon cried out as the four they called out vanished into thin air, leaving behind only Mimi's laptop that was connected to a payphone. What happened to the couple was not an isolated incident. Back in Tokyo, the same thing was happening to the other older Chosen Children. Taichi was currently alone at the soccer field with Agumon practicing when the mysterious wind picked up and made them vanish. Yamato was adjusting his guitar when he heard his band members outside the door about to come in.
"I'm coming in, Yamato." Akira opened the door but found that only Yamato's guitar remained. Sora finished the arrangement that her mother wanted her to practice before the wind claimed her and Piyomon. Koushiro's chair in his room slid to the wall as he and Tentomon fell victim to the same fate. Finally, Jou was doing some work at the library when his D-3 went off and he soon was taken by the mysterious force.

Back in New York, the wind was slowly forming around a blonde haired boy who had an original Digivice strapped around his belt. He looked forward down an alley as a nearby mailbox, stoplight and garage door were suddenly crushed by an unseen force. Soon the force materialized in front of him revealing a large bipedal, muscular creature covered in brown fur. Its face, hands and feet were red; it had red eyes, pink lips, and a large mouth. It also had a grinning white plush skull with three cream horns and two bone-like protrusions on its back. It short, it looked similar to a Wendigo which it was called Wendimon.
"{Chocomon…}" The boy addressed the creature in English as another smaller Digimon ran up next to him. This Digimon looked like a bipedal canine with white fur that was striped with green on its collarbone, paws, and the tips of its ears, which were almost bigger than its own body. It also had a single horn on its forehead. This Digimon was known as Terriermon.

Wendimon growled before it slowly began crushing the metal fence that kept him and the boy separated. He then tore through the fence which caused Terriermon to jump up and bite Wendimon on his ear. Wendimon responded by swatting him off and causing him to flying the air.
"{Gummymon!} The boy cried out for Terriermon who was then head-butted by the attacking Digimon. He flew back further into the alley and opened up his ears to use as a parachute to slow him down before he could hit the wall. When he landed, he opened his mouth and a green ball of energy built up before it flew out and impacted with Wendimon causing a fairly large explosion. The boy had to cover his eyes from all the smoke and dust that was kicked up. Wendimon began to walk towards Terriermon as he kept launching energy attack after energy attack. He had to jump up to avoided being grabbed by Wendimon's hands which crashed into the wall behind him. Terriermon soared in the sky when Wendimon turned around and opened his chest which revealed eight small launchers that fired upon him. Terriermon quickly dodged, using the destruction of a water tower that was on top of a building, before he flew through the smoke and shot another energy ball that collided with Wendimon right in the face. He began running up the walls in an effort to get his hands on Terriermon.

"Mimi-san and Ross-chan went to the Digital World…" Hikari suggested as Takeru walked over to Mimi's laptop and unplugged it from the phone jack.
"No." He shook his head. "That's not what it felt like. "It must be a different world." Both of them got slightly worried about that prospect. They hoped it wasn't that Dark World they encountered back in June. "Speaking of which, what was this crying Digimon you were talking about?"
"When Mimi-san and Ross-chan disappeared, I felt the presence of a crying Digimon. It was very sad…" She quickly shot her head up and gasped as a nearby one-way sign was crushed by something invisible. "It's close by!"

Wendimon had climbed high to reach the ledge where Terriermon was who was looking slightly exhausted. He made a loud roar that could be heard for across multiple blocks of the loud city. The boy had been climbing up to a nearby roof when he saw the two Digimon soaring right back down towards the street level. At the same time, Hikari, Takeru and their Digimon were running as fast as they could towards the fighting they had begun hearing. Wendimon soon caught up and smacked Terriermon into a wall then sent him face first into a puddle. He soon began slowly walking towards Terriermon and tried to reach out to him before the boy ran up and got in between the two of them.
"{Chocomon, don't!}" Wendimon groaned as he stopped and made not further effort to move forward. Hikari quickly ran past the fence to the alley with Takeru behind her before he noticed the Digimon and stopped.
"It's a Digimon!" He exclaimed which got Hikari's attention. "Hikari-chan, this Digimon…" Hikari ran up next to him.
"This was the crying Digimon." She informed.

"{Chocomon, it's me, Wallace.}" He stepped forward and Wendimon stepped back. He took a few more steps back before the mysterious wind blew and he vanished leaving Wallace and Terriermon alone in the alley with Takeru and Hikari watching on.
"It disappeared." Takeru muttered. "Hey, you!" He called out which caused Wallace to slightly jump before he looked over and saw the two Chosen Children.
"Onii-chan! Ross-chan!" Hikari exclaimed which confused Takeru.
"Huh?"
"Just now, I heard them… I heard my brothers' voices."
"Taichi-san and Ross-san's? Maybe those people have something to do with it!" He turned back towards Wallace and climbed over the fence while Wallace grabbed Terriermon and ran from them.
"Takeru, I'll follow that boy!" assured Patamon as he flew over the fences and began to pursue.
"Hikari-chan…"
"Something is awakening…"

In an unknown dimension, Taichi and the others felt themselves floating downward until they felt some sort of ground and slowly fell to their knees.
"Where is this?" Taichi questioned, though his mouth didn't move.
"I can't see a thing." Yamato informed.
"I can't think about anything." Koushiro claimed.
"And it feels so cold…" Jou added.
"What is all this?" feared Ross.
"Why are we here?" Mimi asked.
"How did we get here?" Sora inquired.
"I don't know." Koushiro gave his answer to all three of their questions.
"Takeru, be careful." Yamato gave a warning, not knowing if Takeru could even hear it.
"Hikari, be careful." Both Ross and Taichi gave the same warning.

"{No, listen to me, Ami. I'm going back there. Look, I need you to tell Momma that I'm going back to Livermore. Yes, I know she's gonna be upset, but she'll understand. It'll be okay, alright? It'll be okay, I'll call back. Okay? Okay? Alright, bye, love you.}" Wallace said on the payphone. Terriermon was sitting still at the base of the phone, trying to look like a stuffed animal while Patamon sat on a stoplight and overheard the conversation. Wallace then hung up, put Terriermon in his backpack and headed down into the subway.
"Livermore…" Patamon repeated to himself before he flew out back to Takeru and Hikari.

P.O.V. – Takeru Takaishi

This has turned out to be one heck of a vacation. Here we were relaxing with not many cares only for some strange Digimon to appear and for the others to suddenly vanish. And it wasn't just Ross and Mimi, apparently all the old Chosen Children including Yamato have vanished into thin air too, as Hikari found out when she contacted back home.
"Whatever that thing is, it's connected to the others disappearing; I'm sure of it. My only question is why and what did that boy have to do with it." I told Hikari.
"Wallace. I heard the boy call himself Wallace." Hikari said.
"Hikari, Takeru!" I heard Patamon call out. We looked up and saw him flying down towards us. "I know where he's going!"
"Where?" I asked.
"Livermore."
"Livermore?" I quickly typed away on Mimi's laptop that I still had and plugged into a phone jack and soon got the information. "Hikari, he's going out to Colorado. Great… why couldn't have been closer." I mumbled. "Did you say only Onii-chan and the other older Chosen were missing?" I asked her. She nodded. "Contact Daisuke-kun and the others then… we're gonna need their help."

P.O.V. – Daisuke Motomiya

Ah… going to the beach during the summer! Isn't anything greater than that? I was laying back and relaxing in the sun while Miyako and Iori were using Poromon as a volleyball when I suddenly heard my D-terminal go off. I quick ran over to it and opened it.
"It's from Hikari-chan!" I exclaimed before I began to read the message.
"Daisuke, what's up?" Chibimon ran over.
"Is something wrong, Daisuke?" Miyako asked as the rest of them gathered around me.
"'Please save my brothers.'" I began to read the message aloud. "'Mimi-san and Ross-chan suddenly vanished into thin air and we can't reach Onii-chan and the others so I fear the same has happened to them.'"
"That's not good." Iori muttered.
"'Spotted a strange Digimon in New York along with a boy; might be connected so we're going to follow him and try to find out what's going on. Meet Takeru-kun and I at a place called Livermore in Colorado.'" Wait? Takeru was with her!? Ugh, never mind, that's not important at moment. "Well, you heard Hikari-chan… we're going to America."

"We're doing what?" Ken exclaimed over the phone after I informed him of everything.
"Look, it's important, Ken." I told him.
"I'm well aware, but an international trip is not something we can just spring on our parents! And you know with me and…"
"How is he?" I asked about his brother.
"Well, out the hospital. He's out of his coma and his physical health is almost back to normal in terms of food, water and sleep. His mental health… he hasn't said much since he's woken up. He's been in his room and I've heard him only mutter 'Monodramon' and 'I'm sorry'."
"Listen, we're telling our parents that Mimi-san has invited us to come with her to New York and that Ross-san's father is chaperoning us. He's actually just taking us to the airport and giving us money." I heard Ken sigh. "Please, we need your-"
"Fine, I'll do it. Just give me a bit to pack up and then I'll meet with you and we can get going."
"Great! We're taking the evening flight to San Francisco, see you in a bit!"

San Francisco International Airport, San Francisco, California, United States. August 20th, 2002. 0732 Hours.

We were walking through the airport terminal after our flight had landed as we were heading towards a flight we were going to take to Denver. Kinda learned an interesting thing, our Digimon apparently don't show up on an X-ray machine… I guess being a Digital Monster does that. Ken and Iori think we'll need to talk to Koushiro about that which is what they were talking about.
"Either way about all of this, we're gonna go see Hikari-chan!" I exclaimed. "How could I honestly refuse all this?"
"How's about 'our friends are in trouble'?" Miyako reminded me.
"Yeah, yeah, way ahead of you on that."
"I hope he isn't like this the whole time, Miyako-san." Iori whispered.
"Of course!" She teased.
"I heard that!" I shouted.
"Uh, oh… we've got a problem." Ken said as he walked back to us after going ahead to check out the next flight.
"What's wrong, Ken-kun?" Miyako asked.

A few seconds later we got the answer as he showed us a screen.
"Apparently a large storm surge is moving slowly through the Rocky Mountains which has essentially grounded flights… meaning it's gonna be at least forty-eight hours before we could get into Denver." He explained.
"But Taichi-san needs our help now!" I cried.
"I know. Give me about thirty minutes, and I can find a work around." We nodded as he walked away again and we lounged around in the terminal for almost an hour before he finally came back.
"What kept you?" Miyako wondered.
"Sorry… okay, I've got good news and I've got bad news." Ken said.
"What's the good news?"
"Okay." He pulled out a map and placed it in front of us. "There's a flight at Sacramento International that is going to Rapid City, South Dakota at eleven. From there, we go via car through Cheyenne, Wyoming and to Fort Collins, Colorado where we then take a quick trip to Livermore."
"So what's the bad news?" Iori asked.
"We're gonna have to do some hitchhiking."

P.O.V. – Iori Hida

Turns out we were going to have to hitchhike quicker than we thought as no bus was gonna take us from San Francisco to Sacramento until our flight would already leave. We needed to get a vehicle before nine or we'd miss the flight. However, we were having some hard luck.
"Yeah! Carrying around a 'with monster' sign won't get us any rides!" Daisuke told me as I held up a sign asking for a ride.
"Well, I just like to be honest, is that so wrong?"
"Yeah, it makes us look weird."
"More weird than four kids hitchhiking?" Miyako asked. Before he could answer, a car pulled up and Ken quickly talked to the driver and lucky us, he was heading to Sacramento… however, a few minutes in his car, maybe we could've gotten someone else with how erratic he's driving.

"So he thinks our Digimon are toys?" Daisuke questioned Ken. The driver was apparently a big fan of Japanese stuff even though he didn't speak any of it.
"Yeah." Ken answered.
"This guy is really weird!" Miyako exclaimed.
"This vehicle must be pretty tough…" Daisuke thought.
"I feel sorry for it." I held onto Upamon tight.
"{Mister, be a little careful, be careful!}" Ken tried to tell the man.

50 Miles North of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. August 20th, 2002. 1032 Hours.
P.O.V. – Hikari Yagami

We were unable to get on the same train that boy had gotten on but it didn't really matter. We knew where he was going and were currently on the Amtrak to Indianapolis.
"Okay, we get off this train and then get on one that will take us through St. Louis, Kansas City, and then we should be in Denver by the late evening. After that, we can have Pegasmon and Nefertimon fly the rest of the way."
"Sounds good." "We can handle that." The Digimon agreed.
"And Daisuke-kun and the others?" Hikari asked.
"According to Ken-kun, they're in Sacramento right now waiting for a plane to take them to Rapid City; he says that they believe they'll be in Livermore before dark."
"Well, that's good."

Our little relaxed moment would soon be ruined when the D-3's began to beep.
"The D-3…" I quietly said. Suddenly, the whole world around the train turned purple and Takeru jumped out of his seat. The passengers all around seemed completely oblivious to everything before they vanished leaving us the only ones on the train. Outside the window, a dark shadow began forming until it got closer and revealed itself as the large Digimon we saw in New York. It got right up close to the window while our Digimon hopped in front of us. Our D-3s began to light up once more but this time it was more an array of color. The Digimon roared for a moment when everything flashed and suddenly we found ourselves face first on the railroad tracks with our stuff around us and our train nowhere to be seen.
"What happened to the train?" Takeru exclaimed.
"I think that Digimon is trying to prevent us from getting to that place…" I believed.
"Well…" Takeru looked around at the large forest we were now stuck in. "Looks we might just have to fly the rest of the way. Patamon, Tailmon, you think you can fly over a few states?" Both of them nodded with determination.

Sioux Falls, South Dakota, United States. August 20th, 2002. 1103 Hours.
P.O.V. – Third Person

Once Wallace had arrived in Indianapolis, he didn't stay long waiting for the train to Denver during the night. He quickly found a supply train that was heading west and jumped on it, taking refuge in one of the empty cargo cars. By eleven, he soon discovered that the train was just about to reach Sioux Falls, South Dakota and decided he would get off there and try to get to Livermore through the north. He slightly opened the car and saw the train was slowly moving through a road crossing where a blonde woman in a flannel tank top and cut-off denim shorts was waiting next to a green Jeep for the train to pass.

"Wallace, I'm tired." Terriermon moaned in Japanese. "Wallace, we're going to the flower field, right?" Wallace kept ignoring him. "Wallace, come on!" Wallace got up and started walking towards the back of the car away from the slightly opened door. "What's with you?"
"You're being a pest." Wallace finally spoke to him in Japanese before he sat down next to his backpack. "I'm not sure if Chocomon knows that he's attacking us."
"He's being serious." Terriermon tried to tell him as he walked over to him. "He seriously is going after you." Wallace turned to look at Terriermon. "I would know. That's why I'll protect you."
"I'm not really sure what you're talking about, but you didn't have to attack him…"
"But he isn't thinking of the same thing anymore."
"I don't want to hear that." Terriermon walked up next to Wallace before he sat down next to him.
"All right. I won't mention it. Momma must be worrying about you right now."
"I'll call her later."

"Hot. Hot. Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot…" Terriermon kept repeating as they walked past an abandoned gas station north of the town.
"Will you stop already?" He didn't get an answer as Terriermon kept saying the same thing before walking under Wallace's legs and sending him toppling over Terriermon's head on to the hot ground. He walked a few more feet before he turned to look at Wallace.
"We're going through all of this trouble, and just so you can call Mom." Wallace picked up his backpack and got back on his feet.
"It's not that bad… Hey, do you think Chocomon will definitely be at the flower field? Tomorrow he'll be waiting for us."
"Chocomon probably didn't have to get this hot…" Terriermon seemed to be on a one track mind. Wallace quietly shook his head before he marched on ahead.

"Wallace!" Terriermon yelled out before he ran after him and jumped on top of his head.
"What are you doing?"
"Shade. I'll be your shade for a while!" He then opened up his ears and began providing a good amount of shade for the blonde haired boy.
"You're heavy." Wallace tried to keep his balance.
"It's okay. It's okay." The two of them kept walking alongside the road.

Outside Rapid Falls, South Dakota, United States. August 20th, 2002. 1312 Hours.
P.O.V. – Miyako Inoue

We soon left the airport and found ourselves on the side of the interstate as we were looking at a map of where to go next.
"So what do we do now?" Daisuke asked as he leaned against a fence.
"Looks like we'll have to take Interstate 90 to Buffalo, Wyoming." Iori informed.
"Before taking 25 down all the way to Fort Collins which is not too far from Livermore." Ken added.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Daisuke ran over to us.
"It means we've still got a bit of a journey." I told him.
"Ah!" Daisuke shouted as he ran towards the road. "Just when do we get to talk with Hikari-chan? Hikari-chan! Wait for me!" As he yelled that, a large box truck drove by before it hit its brakes and stopped.
"Guess he stopped for you." believe Iori.
"That's my power!"

It turns out actually that he stopped for someone else who quickly climbed aboard.
"What's this? He didn't stop for us after all." I said.
"We'll make a deal with him! Ken, translate!" Daisuke ran up to the truck door with Ken quickly joining him and they began talking to the driver. "We'll ride together!" Daisuke said in reference to the other person who climbed into the back of the truck. "We're both okay with that! Get on!"
"Let's hurry." I motioned to Iori and the Digimon and we all got on board.
"Here ya go." Daisuke placed Chibimon on board.
"You guys better hurry up." Wormmon insisted as he was already in. We closed the door and soon the truck began moving. According to Ken, the driver said he was gonna head through Buffalo so that was a good thing.

It turns out our other passenger was a boy who looked about a year older than me with blonde hair and blue eyes and he was sitting next to a stuffed animal. Daisuke crawled over to him while Chibimon moved towards the plush toy before Daisuke bopped Chibimon on the head.
"What are you doing?" He turned to look at the boy. "Sorry about that. It's a space cat…" He tried to give an excuse.
"Daisuke! Digimon!" Chibimon pointed to the stuffed animal.
"Huh? Ahh!" Now looking at it, it practically screamed Digimon. Things soon began to fit together.
"Then this guy must be…" I spoke up.
"The boy Takeru-san was talking about earlier." Iori finished for me.
"Wow, small country…" Ken said. He wasn't wrong, I mean, what were the odds? All four Digimon got closer to the big eared Digimon and just stared at him.

Outside Buffalo, Wyoming, United States. August 20th, 2002. 1521 Hours.

"I never knew Japanese people had Digimon." The boy told us as we hopped out south of Buffalo right by Interstate 25, which was the road we needed to take to Fort Collins. He looked over to the Digimon and saw they were all getting along well with Gummymon, which was the Digimon's name according to the boy. The boy wasn't talking much at the start of the trip but had opened quite a bit in the last half hour.
"He seems rather friendly." Iori noticed Gummymon as he was making a new sign for us.
"Don't get too naïve…" Daisuke looked a bit upset.
"You can speak Japanese?" I asked.
"Yeah, Ami, she's a Japanese girlfriend, she taught me." He explained.
"Wallace was always with that Japanese person." Gummymon said.
"I'm wondering… if this has anything to do with Taichi-san and the other's whereabouts… would you guys be involved?" questioned Ken, though he tried to sound as un-antagonistic as possible. The boy ignored him and walked up to me.
"Call me Wallace. You must be Miyako. That's a pretty name." I blushed.

"Don't get too casual that quickly." Daisuke walked in-between us.
"Maybe I just have more tact."
"Keh, what's up with this guy?" Daisuke looked like he was about to blow his top.
"Wallace, where did you get Gummymon?" Iori wondered.
"Ah, my Momma found an egg one day. Momma's always on the internet." We looked over to see Gummymon floating in the air while holding Upamon and Poromon on the ends of his ears.
"Have you ever been to the Digital World?" I asked.
"Digital World? What is that?"
"That's…" I really couldn't answer. He smiled.
"You still look great with that look on your face, Miyako." I blushed once more.
"What are you trying to pull?" Daisuke yelled.
"Wallace, do you know about any other Digimon? Or perhaps any other Chosen Children here in America?" Ken gave his question as Terriermon fell over and caused him, Upamon, and Poromon to tumble.
"It's the first time I've heard it. And as for your earlier question, I don't know where that Digimon could have taken those children."
"That's it, you know something! You… don't try to hide it!" accused Daisuke.

I looked back to Iori and saw that a Mazda pickup was stopping near us meaning we got a lift.
"Ah, we've got a ride!" I called out to the others.
"I have to go." Wallace explained.
"We have to save Taichi-san!" Daisuke tried to tell him as Iori and I climbed onto the truck.
"Daisuke, hurry up! The driver won't stay very long. Come on, hurry!" I insisted. Daisuke put his back against the truck while Ken stood next to him and Wallace walked past.
"And just why do you want to hike?" Daisuke asked him. "Why do you want to go to Livermore?"
"That's because he told his Momma on the phone that he was going there!" Terriermon explained.
"Gummymon…"
"Your Momma? Momma, he says. Hehehe…" Daisuke laughed as he fell backwards when the truck took off without him.
"See ya! We'll be waiting for you at Livermore!" I waved to Daisuke and Ken who we left behind.
"Hurry and find your way there!" Iori added.

P.O.V. – Ken Ichijouji

"Wallace, will we make it by tomorrow?" Gummymon asked.
"I feel sorry to leave Daisuke alone." Wallace answered.
"Well, you didn't need to, he still had me." I told him.
"Why did you stay?"
"Let's just say I had a feeling that Daisuke would get left behind."
"Damn it…" Daisuke growled as he got back up. "I just wanna see Hikari-chan…!"
"You know… if you want to keep the fact that you have a crush on Hikari-kun, you need to be a bit more subtle." I teased.
"Oh, shut up!"

P.O.V. – Third Person

Back in the unknown dimension, Taichi had managed to walk over to where everyone else had gathered.
"Everyone…" He said.
"Taichi…" Jou exclaimed.
"I just woke up." Mimi walked right up to him.
"Taichi-san, you look different right now."
"Huh?" A quick check and he saw that he was wearing the same outfit he wore three years ago. It was actually more than that however; the others weren't dressed like their old selves, they had regressed to the age they were during their previous adventures.

P.O.V. – Ken Ichijouji

"Wallace, do you really need to do this?" Terriermon asked as Wallace was on a payphone we found not too far away.
"{It's not like that, Momma. Listen to what I have to say.}"
"Come on, Wallace…" He turned to Chibimon and Wormmon. "Wallace should pay attention to what I say just a little bit. But to him his Momma is more important."
"One thing you need to learn is that family is important. Ken-chan cares about his mother, father… and brother very much." explained Wormmon which gave me a small smile on my face.
"Daisuke's mom!" Chibimon stretched his arms out.
"So is Wallace's, Daisuke!" Terriermon turned to Daisuke.
"{Momma, don't worry that much, I'm fine! I just got off-track for a while.}"
"Hurry it up! Miyako and the others are probably there already!" Daisuke moaned at him.
"Daisuke, first of all, it's rude to shout at someone on the phone, and two, the town is several hours away. They're not gonna be there for a while." I got his attention.
"Wallace's Momma is like this!" Terriermon inhaled and puffed out his body. Is he trying to say that Wallace's mother is on the heavy side? Well, Chibimon found it hilarious and Wormmon lightly chuckled.
"Heh, is that so?" Daisuke smirked upon hearing that.

"{I'm not hurt, I just ran into some strangers.}"
"'Momma, Momma…' What kind of man are you?"
"{Shut up!}" Wallace yelled at him. "{Oh, that's not it, I didn't' mean that for you, Momma. I'll talk to you later.}" He then hung up before he sighed. "Does he always like to antagonize everyone he meets?" Wallace asked me.
"Truth be told, Wallace-kun, I've only known Daisuke for a few months… but he's not a bad guy once you get to know him." I explained.
"Thank you!" Daisuke had a proud look on his face.
"Wallace's mom is scary." Terriermon informed.
"Strange, too." Chibimon chimed.
"You're a loud-mouth." Wallace glared at his partner.
"Wallace is too." Terriermon added.
"I've heard enough." Daisuke interrupted everyone.
"Maybe it's not such a deal for a Japanese person like yourself, but where I come from, we treat our mothers with respect." Wallace told Daisuke.
"What!?"

A heavy breeze began to fly in before Wallace's Digivice, which looked like my old one, began flashing red.
"What's that?" I questioned as I looked around.
"Daisuke!" "Ken-chan!" Chibimon and Wormmon ran towards us. We then heard a loud thud sound and saw some grass get sent up in the air as a large footprint was left on the ground near us. Terriermon had a serious look on his face as the Interstate 25 sign was bent in half by an unseen force which materialized near us revealing a very large Digimon. This must be the same one that Takeru and Hikari saw as well as the one behind the other's disappearance.
"Chocomon." Wallace muttered. The two of them stared each other down.
"Hey, that's the Digimon that was in New York." Daisuke ran forward with Chibimon who jumped towards the large Digimon.
"Chibimon, evolve! V-MON!" V-mon ran forward and head-butted the large Digimon in the stomach which caused him to stumble back. However, he planted his feet into the ground and swung at V-mon who quickly avoided the swing and jumped onto his back.

"Get him, V-mon!" Daisuke cheered.
"Daisuke, I think we're gonna need some more power to fight him." I suggested.
"You're right! Let's pour it on, then!"
"Digimental Up!" We both shouted.
"V-mon, Armor-Evolve! Burning Courage, FLADRAMON!" "Wormmon, Armor-Evolve! Stinging Kindness, TETERMON!" Both Wallace and Terriermon looked on in awe as our two Digimon charged forward.
"Fladramon, go!" "Go for it, Tetermon!"
"Knuckle Fire!" "Precision Stingers!" Both attacks struck the large Digimon as we all jumped for cover.

P.O.V. – Third Person

For the Chosen Children trapped in the unknown dimension, things were beginning to get worse for them. They were now the age they were in 1997 when the array of color around them turned a very violent red.
"What's that glowing?" Taichi questioned.
"It's getting bigger!" Sora feared.
"I thought I felt it for a moment." Jou looked around.
"A feeling of… sadness… longing…" Ross believed.
"Just what is this?" Yamato questioned as Mimi began to cry.

P.O.V. – Ken Ichijouji

Wallace and I were running as fast as we could to keep up with Daisuke as we were going up a hill to keep up with Fladramon and Tetermon fighting this mysterious Chocomon. We looked over and saw Chocomon crashing right through a nearby billboard that knocked up a whole bunch of smoke.
"All right…" Daisuke pumped his fist. "Hey! What did you do with Taichi-san?" He demanded. The Digimon didn't answer as he just smiled when Fladramon and Tetermon were coming towards him and his arms shot out to swat the both of them to the ground. Both of them then jumped off the ground to avoid being crushed under his feet. They then tried to come back around for another pass but Chocomon's chest opened up and he unleashed a spree of energy blasts that hit both of them.
"Tetermon!" "Don't give up, Fladramon!" Our words really didn't help as they both just crashed into the ground once more before they devolved back to the Child-Forms. Their attacker roared and charged at them once more.

"Stop it!" Wallace yelled as he ran to where V-mon and Wormmon were laying before he was the only thing standing between them and Chocomon. "Chocomon, don't do this."
"Wallace, be careful." Gummymon ran next to him.
"Where did you take the Japanese children?" Wallace asked Chocomon. "Why are you doing these things?"
"Don't do it, Wallace." Gummymon grabbed his leg. "This isn't the same Chocomon."
"Chocomon, do you know me? It's Wallace."
"Wallace, w- You're wrong. You're not Wallace. Where is Wallace?!" Chocomon roared as he tried to flatten him with his fist. Thankfully, Gummymon pushed him out of the way before he could get killed.
"Chocomon, don't you recognize me?" Wallace was still trying to get through but it's pretty clear that there is something messed up in Chocomon's head right now. "Chocomon…"
"Wallace…" Gummymon jumped up in the air as the screen on Wallace's Digivice turned green, indicating that Gummymon was going to evolve. A second later, a bright flash erupted and where Gummymon now looked slightly different. He still looked similar but he now had a bandolier around his chest, a pair of denim jeans and his hands were replaced with two large chain guns.
"You evolved…" Wallace was once more in awe. I guess this must be a first then.

Chocomon tried to grab Gummymon but he dodged the attack mid-air and dived down towards his face where he gave him a double slap with this chain gun hands. The last slap was so hard it sent him flying through another billboard. Gummymon jumped through the hole in the billboard and opened fire with his guns which pounded Chocomon in a storm of fire.
"Stop it!" Wallace shouted once more. Gummymon backed off as the dust cleared and while Chocomon didn't have any scratches on him, he sounded a bit tired. Gummymon pointed one of his guns forward, ready to unleash another wave of bullets. "Chocomon… Chocomon, I'll be waiting for you at the flower field. {I'll be waiting for you!}" A large gust of wind picked up and surrounded Chocomon before he vanished into thin air. "He'll wait."

P.O.V. – Third Person

"It finally stopped!" Taichi exclaimed as the colors around them in the dimension went back to the color they were before. The children now looked like how they were in 1995, around the time when they all had their first encounters with the Digimon. Taichi fell back onto the ground before the whole place around them changed into a sunny flower field.
"A blue sky." observed Jou.
"And a field of flowers." added Ross.
"It feels like summer!" Sora shouted.
"It really does!" Mimi cheered. "There's so many things I love about it."
"What's with this?" Yamato questioned once more.
"Probably, this place is… somebody else's world." Koushiro guessed.

P.O.V. – Ken Ichijouji

"Why did you stop us?" Daisuke questioned Wallace as we walked back towards the road. "Is there something you're not telling us about that monster?"
"Back off, Daisuke. If he doesn't want to say anything then it's not in our place to ask." I told him.
"He's right." Wallace agreed with me. "It's none of your business."
"None of our-!" Daisuke huffed before he spoke again. "You call him Chocomon?"
"His name is none of your business. I have to go."
"Daisuke!" V-mon called out.
"Huh? What are you guys doing?" V-mon was running while holding onto Gummymon's feet and Wormmon was wrapped around his back before Gummymon opened up his ears and the three of them began flying. "Haha! Looks fun!" Daisuke chased after them. "Wish I could do that!"

"Be careful, Gummymon." Wallace warned.
"Wallace, its fine, its fine."
"You be careful."
"Wait for me!" Daisuke shouted. A second later, they all crashed into an airplane billboard, apparently hard enough for V-mon to devolve back into Chibimon. "I didn't see the sign…" Daisuke muttered as he fell to the ground.
"That's why I just told you!" Wallace shouted. "Is he always like this?" He turned to me, while referring to Daisuke.
"Eh, more or less."
"Say it more clearly next time!" Daisuke yelled back at us.
"Wallace is always quiet." Gummymon said.
"Shut up, Gummymon. Anyhow, are you all right?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine."

Daisuke picked himself back up before he flashed a pose trying to prove he was fine.
"Japanese children act so strange sometimes." Wallace walked away.
"Hey, we're not all like that!" I tried to defend.
"You can evolve, too, Gummymon." Wallace changed the subject. "Let's get hiking, hurry up, we might catch another truck."
"Wallace! Another truck might not come by. Just look at what we did to the road!" A quick look showed the interstate had multiple holes in it thanks to the earlier fighting. Gummymon ran over to his side and held his hand. "I wish Wallace was a little smaller." He stopped speaking for a second before he tried to drag Wallace along. "We should all go together!"

"So…" Daisuke asked a little later as we waited for a ride. "Why do you want to go to Livermore? What's there?"
"Weeee! I'm free, I'm free." Gummymon shouted as he and V-mon were doing that gliding thing again.
"Sorry it's not as great as yours." V-mon said.
"That's true! Hehe."
"You mentioned something about a flower field back there." I recalled. "What did you mean?" V-mon tripped and fell face first into the ground while Gummymon flew up.
"I'm sorry, V-mon."
"I'm fine."
"Hey, that Digimon Chocomon…" Wormmon hopped over to them. "Do you know something about that Chocomon?"
"Chocomon is…"

"Gummymon!" Wallace shouted at him before he could say anything else.
"Wallace, if you tell them, it would help them get the children back." Gummymon ran up to him.
"What do you mean?" Daisuke asked.
"He wants something from the children."
"How do you know that?" I questioned.
"Because I…" Gummymon stopped before he said anything more.
"Either way, we better get to Livermore!" Daisuke decided not to press for more information.
"Guys, leave it to us!" V-mon declared.
"Digimental Up!" Daisuke shouted.
"V-mon, Armor-Evolve! Storm of Friendship, LIGHDRAMON!"
"Wormmon, evolve! STINGMON!"

Daisuke climbed onto Lighdramon's back while I hopped on Stingmon's.
"Hurry and get on!" Daisuke held his hand out for Wallace.
"Awesome!" Gummymon was amazed by our Digimon's other evolutions.
"Those two are different from before." Wallace said before he took Daisuke's hand and we all headed south at great speeds. Lighdramon was running faster than most cars and even still, Stingmon wasn't flying as fast as he could which was really amazing. We saw three kids nearby who tried had to keep up but it was all for naught.
"Which way is it to Livermore?" Daisuke yelled. The only word the kids probably understood was Livermore so they pointed the way we were going. "Hey, don't be shy." Daisuke turned to Wallace.
"But…"
"But what?"
"Everyone's watching. Both your Digimon are great, aren't they? They can evolve in so many ways."
"Heh, I suppose."
"Doesn't change the fact we're all Chosen Children! Just having a Digimon partner makes us special!" I told him. Daisuke chuckled as we picked up some more speed as the Rocky Mountains began looming in the distance.
"HIKARI-CHAN, WAIT FOR ME!" He shouted as I rolled my eyes.

Somethings will never change…

So yeah, I've split this in half. Well, so did the movie, at least the English Sub video I have on my computer.

So, I changed the location of where the others are going from the fictional Summer Place, Colorado to the real Livermore, Colorado. As for the way the others are getting there, there's a map from a Digimon magazine that's on the Digimon Wiki for Summer Place that I used to plot out the directions, though I'm more than likely BSing the time it's taking to get there.

Anyways, that's about all I've got for the moment. See you hopefully soon for the conclusion to this and then it's back to Blood, Mud, and Armor!

"Push the button, Frank."
