A/N: Hi fellow colleague! You're reading my first fan-fic. Constructive criticism helps me to write better, so RR! Flames are fine if you include the reason for your anger :D

Episode 1: Reactivation

Takato: The events of 2002's Shinjuku D-Reaper catastrophe had been classified as a terrorist strike while most people had dismissed it as an illusion of the mind. We knew better though. Di Di Di…

A brunette boy leaned against a grey gardening shed in a small park in Shinjuku Central Park. His seemed to be reminiscing of something really exciting, his mouth moving in tune to his thoughts. His name was Takato and like most boys his age, he was thinking of Digimon. However, Takato was unlike many boys in that he had once been the partner of an actual Digimon. His Digimon was now in the Digital World, and he wished he could go back there to see it. Funny. He just might get his wish.

A flash of light emanated from the shed and as Takato went over to investigate, he just could not believe it. A digital field was actually opening in the real world. He approached it slowly, his thoughts wandering to the Digital World, to seeing his Digimon again. He missed his red dinosaur badly, and would give up a leg just to get a glimpse of Guilmon. Actually, he thought, I think I'd rather give up school.

Suddenly, his D-Power started beeping and vibrating loudly intruding on his pleasant thoughts. A shady shadow seemed to be slowly configuring itself in the cloak of the static field. It was going to bioemerge. Takato instinctively held up his digivice to identify the Digimon.

"No information is available at this time," chirped the electronic voice D-Power.

"What? No information…?" Takato thought out loud.

"Hey goggle head, what are you up to?" asked a familiar voice from behind Takato.

Absorbed in his thoughts, he was not able to hear the hazel haired girl. "If it's the D-Reaper again, we're all screwed. Our Digimon were sent away, and I doubt Hypnos will be able to use juggernaut again..." Unexpectedly, a hand touched Takato lightly on the shoulder making him jump 5 feet in the air.

"Aiiieee!" he yelped.

"Calm down, it's just me. You didn't have to get all excited and giddy," Rika said nonchalantly. "And why is your D-Power screeching-" she was cut off by her own digivice reacting in a similar manner.

Takato studied Rika for a second, still recovering from the scare she gave him. She hadn't changed at all, or at least her attitude didn't seem to change. Takato then pointed slowly to the slight haze emitting from the gardening shed.

"We should probably tell someone about this, right?" Takato asked, facing Rika.

"I doubt there will be enough time to do that," replied Rika edgily, eyes glued to the digital field.

Takato spun around. A huge gust of wind blasted from the digital portal causing the trees around him to bend awkwardly. Takato and Rika braced themselves to keep their standing position. Instantaneously, a large billow of grey smoke emitted from the field. The static caused all the park lamps to flicker on and off. Electronics within a 15 feet radius stopped their normal functions. The static caused stoplights to halt at a red light, as if to prevent anyone from intruding into the field. Takato could hear the angry honks of impatient drivers waiting to proceed. In wide-eyed fear, he saw a shiny brown hand poking out from the digital portal.

"We're in deep trouble now, aren't we…"

Henry knew something was up by the time he had woken up. For one thing, he had overslept greatly because his electronic clock had gone berserk. The LCD display kept changing different colors of green, the numbers flashed wildly and the alarm seemed to have given up altogether. It was as though the internal mechanics of the clock had just stopped functioning properly overnight. He dressed slowly and walked from his bedroom into the living room window.

Susie looked up from her activity when she heard her brother coming. "Did ya sleep well last night?" she giggled as she saw her bedridden brother's untidy blue hair.

Henry was so absorbed in his thoughts as he scanned Shinjuku for anything out of the ordinary that he completely failed to hear his sister. His eyes fell upon a park, the very park where they had first entered the Digital World. He had a flashback of the incredible journey he had participated in, and the quirky but amazing friends that he had made along the way. He wished that Terriermon was still living with them. Then again, Terriermon always complained about having to be Susie's dress up doll, so it might have been best that he was now safe in the Digital World.

Susie walked over to her brother. The mid afternoon sun lazily shone through the window and elucidated the brown highlights in her hair. She noticed a frown on her brother's face. "What's wrong, oniisan?" she asked, tugging on Henry's index finger.

"Huh?" Henry snapped out of his train of thought and looked down at his sister.

"You've been staring out that window for a loooooooong time oniisan," Susie said.

"Susie, quit it with that oniisan nonsense. Call me Henry." He then resumed looking out the window.

"Okie Oniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisan" she teased. "Pick me up so I can see too," she said, tugging on his fingers again.

Henry rumpled his sister's hair. "Alright imoutosan. Wow, Susie, you've got to lay off the shrimp crackers from now on." He gently placed her on the windowsill.

"Thank yooou Henry. And shrimp chips are goooood!" she giggled. She picked up a pair of binoculars laying on the windowsill and started spying on the outside world. "Whatcha looking for anyway?" she asked.

Henry considered ignoring her question, but decided against it. Susie could probably have read his mind anyway. Siblings always had some kind of insight as to what another sibling was up to. "I had a weird feeling today, like something big was going to happen."

"Like what? Is it someone's birthday today?" she inquired.

"No…" he smiled at the innocence of his sister, "but it's definitely something big. It's like I've felt before, but I just can't place my finger on it."

"Ohhhh, you mean like Digimon big. Big enough to create, like, a big big big wind that could like, bend trees backwards?"

"Something like that. Why?" he asked softly.

Susie pointed to Shinjuku Central Park. "I think I see Rika and Takato too… do you think that they're having a party without us?"

"…impossible…" Henry watched trees literally bending under the discharge of what appeared to be a silver gale. "I've got to go Susie, tell dad that I might get home late," he said hastily pulling on his signature orange vest.

"No way am I staying home, I'm coming to the party too," Susie stated confidently.

"It might be too dangerous, you have to stay home," Henry replied, dashing into his bedroom for his D-Power.

"Do I look like a small girl to you? I can handle anything."

"Actually Susie you do look like a small…" Henry realized at that point that his sister had matured in the Digital World, that she was not made of glass anymore. In some ways, she was tougher than he was. "Okay," he said, "but bundle up." He caught his sister rolling her eyes at him.

"It's summer, Henry. And I think you should bring your cards," she said.

"Susie, we don't have time to play and we definitely don't have Digimon anymore," Henry said impatiently. He headed out the door pulling out the apartment keys from his pocket.

"Just in case," she whispered to herself, slipping her brother's deck into her pants pocket.

Henry quickly locked the door and the two ran towards Central Park.

TO BE CONTINUED…

A/N: Ohh, what's that brown thing poking out through the field? You'll be surprised, trust me. :D And will Henry and Susie get to Takato and Rika in time? CUE Suspense Oh and for you Rika fans, the next chapter will be partially from her point of view. :D

Some Boring Explanations:

1) Susie is around six; hence she still speaks like a child.

2) If you couldn't figure it out from the context, oniisan means "honorable" older brother while imoutosan means "honorable" younger sister. They have a pretty close bond with each other.

3) Yeah, I know the Rika and Takato part was really short, but I needed a cliffhanger. :D I hope the Tamers weren't too OOC. I was attempting to use their actual personalities. Also, if you have any suggestions for future chapters, feel free to tell me in your review. I'd like to hear them. Your ideas just may be included!

#) Don't worry; I'll try my best to limit these explanations to a minimum in the future.
