Hi everyone! Now the first thing you should all know about this story is that it is not a new one, sorry but its not. This is actually a rewrite of Kari's ChildHood GoggleHead. I'm sure you're wondering why I decided to rewrite it, for that the answer is because while the story progressed, things went in the opposite direction. So now its difficult for me to figure out how to get it back on track, or how to improvise for my mistake. Trust me, I have tried for months to write another chapter, but nothing came to mind. At first I just thought it was Writer's Block, however, that wasn't the case. So here I am going to make a promise to you all, I will continue to write this story all the way to the end, and hopefully with no more really long waits for updates.
So there it is, oh and of course the stupid disclaimer. note that this will be the only disclaimer got the story as these are annoying and I don't wanna type one for every chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own digimon and I never will.
Chapter 1: Prologue
A group of six kids sat around a small table, while three other creatures stood in front. These three creatures were known as Seraphimon, Ophanimon, and Cherubimon, the Celestial Digimon of the Digital World. Ophanimon had called the children to the digital world, apparently for an important meeting.
The goggle-headed brunette of the group let out a sigh, his hands folded behind his head. "So, what's so dangerous that we can't handle? If you haven't noticed we've kept the Digital World safe for a couple years now, I doubt that there's a digimon that we can't stop." The brunette went by the name of Takuya Kanbara, age 12, the legendary spirits he possessed were the human spirit Agnimon and the beast spirit Vritramon. His element is that of fire. He received a slap on the head by the female sitting next to him. "Ow!" Takuya rubbed the back of his head.
"You'd think that after all our adventures you would mature even a little, I was wrong I suppose." Izumi Orimoto, or as her friends called her Zoe, Zoey or just Zee. She held the legendary spirits of Fairymon and the beast spirit Shutumon. Izumi was currently twelve years of age, but took pride that she was at least three months older than Takuya. Her element is wind.
Takuya rolled his eyes, but his carefree attitude soon disappeared as he threw a glare towards the bandanna wearing boy across from him. "Stop laughing Kouji!"
Kouji Minamoto, his age was twelve, and the spirits he kept were Wolfmon and the beast spirit Garmmon. He was the younger brother of Kouichi Kimura and lived with his father and his stepmother. Kouji was currently snickering, seeing his best friend and rival getting yelled at by Izumi. His element is Light.
The boy next to him shook his head, fearing that Kouji and Takuya would begin to argue. This boy was Kouichi Kimura, the older twin brother of Kouji, he lived with his mother. The spirits he wield were Lowemon and the beast spirit KaiserLeomon. His element is Darkness.
"I mean honestly, Tommy's even matured a bit, and he's ten!" Izumi said.
Tomoki Himi, or Tommy to his friends. He began his adventure in the Digital World at the age of eight and a bit of a crybaby. As time went by he started to stand up for himself and became closer with his older brother Yutaka. His spirits are Chakmon and Blizzarmon. His element is ice.
The final member of their little group was Junpei Shibayama, or known as JP from his friends. When they started their adventure in the Digital World he had a big crush on Izumi, but after the years went by he later gave up on that and he and Izumi became quite good friends. Junpei is one year older than the older kids of the group, his being 13. His spirits are Blitzmon and Bolgmon. His element is of electricity.
Ophanimon laughed at the bickering kids, but quickly stopped them. "Children, you have all been called here for a purpose, but first, Takuya I believe you have some news to share." The angel digimon gave an accusing look at the young gogglehead.
"How did you..." Takuya paused, and gave it a second thought. "Forget it, I don't want to know. Yeah, I guess I do have something to say, but I was waiting for the meeting to be over."
"Just spill it already!" Kouji yelled at him.
"My parents have decided to move.... To Odaiba..... Shinya and I have to go too." He laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head, growing more nervous as the silence in the room continued.
"What?!" Izumi yelled. "For the past two and a half years we've all been together! Besides, how are you going to be able to enter the Digital World if you're in another city!"
"I have already taken care of that." Ophanimon interrupted, turning all their attention to her. "You see, this meeting is about other Chosen Children." She stopped them from shouting out so she could continue. "However, these Chosen Children are different. Instead of becoming digimon, they have digimon partners."
"Digimon partners?" Kouji repeated. "Hmph! Then I'm assuming they just stand on the sidelines, I'm surprised they haven't let the Digital World fall, but I guess we've taken care of the Digital World so their screws ups go unnoticed."
"Now Kouji, these Chosen Children have done a very good job of protecting the Digital World." Seraphimon informed him. "Takuya, we believe that a group of Chosen Children are in Odaiba, so I want you to observe them while you're there, and report to us when you have enough information about them."
"Why's that?" Takuya asked, raising an eyebrow.
"After all of our researching, and by the disasters going on around this world, its safe to say that someone plans to try and take over the Digital World once more." Cherubimon took over from there. "We are sure that with the help of these other Chosen Children, we shall defeat this new threat."
Takuya nodded. "Alright then, I won't let you guys down. Now I'm sorry, but I gotta get going, I have to start packing." He flashed them all a quick smile before taking off.
"Oh no you don't!" Izumi yelled, chasing after him. "You're not off the hook for not telling us about this sooner! Get back here Kanbara!" The rest of them laughed before running after the two, hopefully before Izumi had the chance to attack Takuya.
"You'd think that with the responsibility of the fate of two worlds on their shoulders, they wouldn't have time to act like normal kids." Seraphimon said.
"Yes, but even so, they haven't failed the Digital World and I'm sure they don't plan to anytime soon." Ophanimon said.
After Trailmon had dropped them off at the station, Takuya gave a quick wave to his friends and took off, shouting to them that he'd let them know when he was going to leave so they could spend the day before together. He chuckled a bit as Izumi yelled something, but he was already to far away to know what she said. Takuya was glad that he'd been in soccer for so many years, if Izumi tried to chase him, he'd easily be out of her sight before she even took a few steps.
Once he got to his home he jogged up the stairs, his room currently held a few boxes, some were full, others were half full, and the rest were just empty. He had six days until he left for Odaiba and he wasn't even done packing, just another thing his mom scolded him for. He spent a half hour packing, but stopped as he picked up a picture frame. It was of him, Tomoki, Junpei, Izumi, Kouji, and Kouichi, right after their first adventure in the Digital World. He remembered Izumi's words after he had told them the news.
"What?! For the past two and a half years we've all been together!"
He knew that Izumi wasn't the best person at making friends, he and the rest of their group had been her first friends since she returned from Italy, and she as well as everyone else knew that one day they would all go their separate ways, but if one person was leaving, he was sure she wondered, when would be the next? He shook his head, setting the picture back down. This wasn't the end for him and his friends, especially with this new threat to the Digital World, as long as that world existed, and there was always some crazed digimon wanted to take over the two worlds, he and his friends would never actually be separated.
As he continued packing he came across another picture, of him and two old friends. "Whoa, I haven't seen this in years!" He whispered. It was his seven year old self with his arm around the girl next to him, flashing the camera a victory sign and a grin. The girl was giving a smile of her own, as the older boy behind them, he remembered to be her brother, had his arms around both of them and giving his signature grin as well. They were his two best friends while he was a kid and when he left them he didn't think he'd ever see them again. Wait a second! They live in Odaiba, and that means.... "Alright! This is awesome!"
"Takuya! Settle down!" Mrs. Kanbara scolded from downstairs.
"Sorry mom!" Takuya answered sheepishly. He couldn't help but give small shouts of happiness, though they were a little quieter this time. While he was happy that he was going to see his old friends again, he knew that he'd still feel a little upset at the fact of leaving Kouji and the others, but if Takuya could say anything about farewells, it wasn't going to be forever.
"Hey Kouji!" Takuya yelled into the phone the next morning. He had spent most of the morning and part of the afternoon helping his family pack up. Kouji had called and Takuya knew instantly it was because he wanted to know when Takuya was leaving and what time.
"Ever scream in my ear again and I swear I'm gonna strangle you." Kouji responded in an annoyed tone. "So tell me already, when are you supposed to ditch us huh?"
Takuya laughed. "I'm not ditching you guys, I want to stay here more than anything, but its not like I can get a job and rent an apartment. Unless I can do that I have to go with my parents."
"You're avoiding the question!"
"I was getting to that." Takuya rolled his eyes. "We're leaving on Thursday, around ten in the morning, that way we have the rest of the day to unpack."
"That's five days from now!" Takuya pulled the phone away from his ear as Kouji yelled, chuckling as he did. "Why didn't you tell us sooner?! What, did you expect to just tell us over the phone while you were in the car already leaving?!"
"Well...."
"Don't even answer that!" Takuya heard Kouji groan, and probably slap his forehead. "Whatever, I'll see you later."
"Okay, I'm gonna head over in a half hour or so, my parents want to go over a few things with us." Takuya said. "Bye Kouji..." He gave a sly grin as he gave a final goodbye. "Bye Kouichi."
"What do you-" Kouji began, before realization hit him. "Damn it Kouichi! Stop eavesdropping on my phone calls!"
"Eep!" The older twin screamed before hanging up the phone, then the sound of a door slamming followed shortly after. Kouji swore under his breath before hanging up, Takuya was sure that he heard Kouji mutter something about getting Kouichi back as he got off the phone. If there was one thing he'd miss about the twins, it would be their bickering.
Five days later
Takuya leaned against his parents' car, waiting for his friends to come and give him their final goodbyes. They had spent the day before hanging around and going to the movies, and basically whatever they could do together. His parents and little brother were currently putting the boxes into the truck, and he only waited until it was time to leave.
"Takuya!" He looked up and the first thing he realized was that he was being hugged by the little ten year old.
"I take it you'll miss me?" Takuya asked, laughing at Tomoki's actions. Even after two years, Tomoki still saw Takuya as an older brother, so it must not have been easy for Tomoki.
"You'll come back and visit right?" Tomoki asked, breaking the hug.
"Of course, and you'll always see me in the Digital World." Takuya said. He looked and noticed the rest of his friends holding sad expressions of their own. "My my, what's this? Even Kouji's gonna miss me? How sweet of you." Takuya put his hands together and batted his eyes.
"Shut up!" Kouji hit him on the head, not appreciating the comment.
Takuya faked a gasp. "Does this mean we're breaking up?" The rest of them were snickering at Takuya's antics, while Kouji began to see red. "Don't worry Kouji, we can still be friends."
"Damn Takuya, knock it off!" Kouji snapped. By now everyone was laughing loudly, and Kouji only crossed his arms and turned away.
"Okay, okay. I just couldn't help but torment you one last time." Takuya said.
Kouji rolled his eyes. "I seriously doubt this will be the last time."
Takuya smiled and decided to get this over with, knowing that he only had a few minutes left. "Now Zoey, JP, and Tommy, make sure Kouji doesn't kill Kouichi, or anybody for that matter. Tommy, since you're on a soccer team now, I expect nothing but for you to do your best. Got it?" Tomoki nodded. "JP, I hope you take care of everyone, seeing as I won't be with you all on every mission in the Digital World. And Zoey, no dating unless we all approve of the guy. And Kouji, Kouichi, JP, and Tommy, make sure no guy can even touch Zoey while I'm gone alright? I can't do that anymore so its up to you now."
Izumi shook her head. "You're more overprotective than my dad."
"I have to be, the Digital World isn't the only dangerous place you know." Takuya said. Izumi laughed before hugging him, he laughed a bit as he hugged her back. "Also if some guy does touch you the wrong way, I swear I'll fly back as Vritramon and-"
"I get it!" Izumi laughed, pulling away. "I'm sure the guys would do the same thing." Tomoki, Junpei, Kouji, and Kouichi all nodded in agreement.
"Takuya, its time to go." Mrs. Kanbara said as she, her husband, and Shinya got in the car. He gave them all one last hug and he and Kouji pounded the side of their fists together, before he got in the car. As the drove away he stuck his head out the car window and waved to them. "Goodbye guys! See you some other time!"
"Goodbye!" They all yelled back, waving until the car was out of sight.
Takuya leaned back against the car seat, now only thinking of what lied ahead for him.
And the prologue is finished! I know, different beginning than the first one, but I plan on being a lot more descriptive in my writing. As you may have noticed, I used the Japanese names for the Frontier gang but I will keep the digimon attacks in English, why? If you've seen the Japanese version of Digimon Frontier you'd see that the attack names are very hard to read and also very difficult to type. So there you go. And for those of you who don't know, since the translation for the names is already in the chapter, here are the digimon translations.
Agnimon/Vritramon = Agunimon/BurningGreymon
Wolfmon/Garmmon = Lobomon/KendoGarurumon
Fairymon/Shutumon = Kazemon/Zephyrmon
Chakmon/Blizzarmon = Kumamon/Korikakumon
Blitzmon/Bolgmon = Beetlemon/MetalKobuterimon
Lowemon/KaiserLeomon = Lowemon/JagerLowemon
And from now on I will give you all the date of my next update, hopefully the time break will give me enough time to update, but with my busy schedule I have decided that this story will be updated every two weeks. So the next update for this story will be on Wednesday, January 27. Until then, I leave you all with a goodbye!
