Hello Everyone this is the sequel to Digimon Adventure: The Next Generation rewritten. I watched the movie recently and was inspired. After reading over the stories I had written I decided that I didn't like where the sequel was headed so I decided to rewrite it. I don't know how frequently I'll be updating but I'll try to be quick. I hope you guys like the story and I'm sorry if any of you like the other sequel better but to me it had to go.

I don't own Digimon

Chapter One:

A Brush With Darkness

Andrea clipped her digivice onto one of the belt loops of her denim shorts. She rolled the sleeves of her dark blue and red plaid shirt up to her elbows but did nothing to the sleeves of her black long sleeve. For three years she's been hiding her arms underneath long sleeves partly because she hated seeing the skull mark on her left forearm and partly because she wanted to hide the scars on her wrists. She had a weak moment a couple years back that resulted in a trip to the hospital, more therapy, and a permanent reminder of said weak moment. Her left forearm throbbed painfully drawing her thoughts away from what she now referred to as 'the incident.'

"Lenny?" She said questioningly when she opened the door. The boy standing in front of her looked nothing like her friend. His hair was longer and messy in an intentional kind of way but what got her was that it was pitch black instead of navy blue. A slim silver ring was situated on his bottom lip, his eyebrow was pierced with a silver barbell, and his ears were pierced with several round studs. "What happened to you?"

A crooked grin spread across his face. "I thought it was time for a change, what do you think?"

She thought that he looked attractive as hell but she wasn't going to tell him that. Instead she opted for saying, "It suits you."

"Thanks, that's what my mom said after she got over the initial shock." Lenny laughed. "You ready to go?"

"Not quite." She said turning around. With a jumbled mind she hunted around her apartment for her phone, keys, and digimon partner. The sight of Lenny in black skinny jeans, a light grey V-neck, a dark green plaid shirt, and black combat boots had turned her brain into mush. Under her breath she muttered, "Damn him."

She found Gabumon, her phone, and her keys exactly where she had left them, in her room. After shoving her phone and keys into her pocket and taking a minute to compose herself she walked out of her room with Gabumon in tow. Silently she put on her navy blue Converse and smoothed out an invisible wrinkle on her black tights.

"So where's your dad?" Lenny asked extending his hand out to her.

"Work." She answered taking his hand and letting him pull her to her feet. "Don't worry he knows about today's trip to the digital world."

After locking the front door and an awkward trip down the elevator the two of them eased into a conversation about their summers. Slowly the awkwardness between them disappeared and they settled back in to their comfortable friendship. Neither of them knew how it happened but in the three years since they defeated the Nightmare King they became close friends, best friends though Andrea had yet to admit it to herself that that's what they were. She still wasn't good at the whole friendship thing and couldn't fathom why she was the one entrusted with the crest of friendship.

"Andi," The urgent tone in Gabumon's voice stopped her in her tracks. She looked down at her digimon partner, he pointed toward one of the parking spaces and said, "Your mom's here."

Both Lenny and Andrea turned their heads in the direction Gabumon was pointing to. At the sight of the woman who abandoned her Andrea started to shake, her hands clenched into fists, and she took a purposeful step forward. Lenny, knowing that these were the tell-tell signs that Andrea was angry blocked her advance. He placed both hands on her shoulders and held her gaze with his own.

"Let me go." She growled.

"No." He said firmly. "You don't think straight when you're mad, so take a deep breath and calm down."

"You sound like my shrink." She grumbled smacking him across the chest lightly. "I hate my shrink."

His lips spread into that crooked grin he'd given her earlier. "I thought you didn't do passionate emotions."

"Okay then I severely dislike my shrink and if you keep at it you'll be added to the list of people I severely dislike." She said not really meaning it.

"You would never put me on that list." He said surely.

Giving him a sly grin she asked, "What makes you so sure?"

"I hate to interrupt, whatever this is, but I would like to talk to Andrea."

Lenny took his hands off of her shoulders and moved to stand beside her. Closing her eyes she inhaled and exhaled, just like her therapist said to do. When she was good and ready to face her mother she reopened her eyes.

In a tight voice she asked, "What do you want?"

"That's no way to talk to your mother, did your father not teach you any manners?" Marisol asked in a disbelieving tone. Andrea dropped her gaze down to the floor and bit back a string of colorful curses. "Look at me Andrea Renee."

"Look I have somewhere to be so can you just get to the point of your little visit." Andrea said in the same hateful tone she used to speak to her dad with.

"I'm sorry if I'm keeping you and your boyfriend from getting high at the local park." Her mother sneered.

Lenny was thankful that Andrea was too shocked to move it gave him the perfect opportunity to grab her and hold her in place so that when the shock wore off she wouldn't attack her mother. Surely enough when the shock of having her mother accuse her of doing drugs Andrea thrashed and squirmed trying to break out of his iron tight hold.

"Let go of me Leonard!" She yelled at him. His response was to tighten his hold around her slim waist. "She deserves to meet my fist."

"You can't hit her." Lenny said.

"I don't give a fuck, she deserves it." Andrea said not yielding in her attempt to break free of Lenny's arms; arms that she only now noticed were lean and muscular. She shook her head. "She just can't come here and say that to me."

"What's going on here?" At the sound of her dad's voice Andrea gave up trying get out of Lenny's hold. Matt looked from his ex-wife to his daughter to the black haired boy holding her. "Lenny is that you?"

"Yeah." Lenny said with a nervous chuckle. He released Andrea but kept close to her in case she sprang forward.

"I think your ex-wife wants to talk to you." Andrea said noticing the change in her mother's demeanor and emotions now that her dad was here. Grabbing Lenny's wrist she said, "We'll be going now."

Izzy's Lab…

"Leonard and Blondie are late." Luke said not bothering to hide his irritation. "It doesn't take this long to get from Blondie's place to here. What could they possibly be doing?"

"Hopefully sucking each others faces." Hannah said so quietly that only Luke heard her. Hannah may never admit it out loud but she was in fact very jealous of the blonde haired girl because she suspected that deep down Luke harbored feelings toward her.

Luke glared at her telling her that he didn't appreciate the comment. The door to the room swung open and Hannah took Luke's hand into hers. Andrea didn't so much glance in their direction she merely followed the newly transformed Lenny toward her cousin. Hannah watched as they exchanged hushed words before JT pulled his cousin into a side hug. She looked up at her boyfriend and found that he was glaring at Lenny; if looks could kill Hannah was certain Lenny would be dead. Luke and Lenny had been at odds since they started high school last year because Lenny had been placed on the varsity soccer team and Luke on the freshman team. Hannah suspected that Luke didn't like Lenny because he was close to Andrea. It made her blood boil.

"So now that we're all here we can finally get going." Luke said making sure to glare at the two late arrivals.

Digital World…

Hiding behind a tree Ayden spied on the digidestined, his sister and the kid with the orange sunglasses were having an argument. He noticed that they did that a lot. Like he knew she would his sister shoved passed the boy and walked away from the group.

"Wait until she's deep enough in the forest then give her hell Wingdramon." He said to his partner. "Gabumon shouldn't be a problem, he can't go beyond champion."

"That's where you're wrong, my friend." A voice said from behind him.

"You're not my friend Jun." Ayden said turning around to face the older boy. "What do you want?"

"What's rightfully mine." Jun answered pointing to the crest around Ayden's neck. "Hand it over before I forcibly remove it from you neck."

With a smirk the younger boy disappeared into the shadows leaving the older boy alone in the forest. Dragging a hand through his light brown hair Jun groaned. He'd have to fight the boy to get back what was rightfully his.

"Cyberdramon, its time we fight back." He said as his partner joined him. "Lets go find Goldilocks before he does."

"What's the plan?" Cyberdramon asked.

"Get the digidestined to do the hard work then swoop in and swap the crests." He said to his digimon partner.

"How are you sure they'll help you."

"Leverage." He said taking the crest of friendship out from the pocket of his torn blue jeans.

Real World…

"Three years ago I found a digivice in Ayden's room. I didn't think much of it since he didn't really know what it was but after Andrea came to the house he started to shy away from me. He'd disappear for hours and I knew that he found his way into the digital world." Marisol said as Matt drove them toward Izzy's lab. "About a month ago he came back different."

"What do you mean by different?" Matt asked hoping that his son hadn't gone down the same path his daughter had.

"He came back angry and hostile. He won't talk to me or his father or his brother." Matt wanted to point out that he was Ayden's father but didn't because it wasn't the right time to bring that up. "He spends all of his time locked up in his room listening to horrible music. He talks back to me and curses all of the time. It feels like he hates me and everything else in the world. Do you know what its like to be hated by your child?"

"Actually I do." Matt said. He knew the feeling all to well after all Andrea spent most of her life hating him because he was her father. It was misplaced hatred according to their family therapist. Without elaborating he led Mari into the lab. "What did you say to Andrea that had her so upset?"

"How can you let her hang out with that hoodlum?" Mari asked instead of answering his question.

"He's not a hoodlum, he's actually a great kid." Matt said. "What did you say to her?"

"Its nothing Matt."

"To you maybe but she's my daughter and when this is over I get to go home with her. I need to know what you said so I know what to say to smooth this all over later." Matt said pinching the bridge of his nose. He knew by the way Andrea's eyes had glossed over that whatever Marisol had said was bad.

"I accused her of doing drugs with that kid." Marisol said quietly.

It took everything Matt had in him to not blow up at his ex-wife. Luckily for her Izzy came running down the hallway.

"The kids are under attack."

Digital World…

"Blaze Sonic Breath!"

"Howling Blaster!"

Andrea took off running back toward the group. She didn't see the boy until she was sprawled on top of him. He muttered a couple of choice words before opening his eyes. A cocky grin formed on his lips.

"As much as I like being in this position with you Goldilocks the dragon attacking you takes precedence over this." He said laughing when her cheeks tinted a light shade of pink.

"Jackass." Andrea said pushing herself off of him.

"Did anybody ever tell you that you're positively scary when you're angry?" He asked standing up and dusting the dirt off of his jeans. "If they did they forgot to mention how hot you look all pissed off. Now I need you and your little friends to help me with something Goldilocks."

Pushing past him Andrea said, "What makes you think we'll help you with anything?"

"If you don't you won't get your crest back." He said holding up her crest. "Now why didn't you come looking for this after you lost it? Could it be because it doesn't work for you and you thought it wasn't worth coming back for?"

"What do you want?" Andrea said not giving him the satisfaction of knowing that he was right about why she hadn't searched for her crest after losing it.

"Draw out your dear brother and keep Wingdramon busy, leave the rest to me." He said as they walked back toward the group.

Lenny and JT were the first and only two to ask her if she was okay. Luke glared at the boy standing beside her and the boy, who introduced himself as Jun, told her that jealous boyfriends turned out to be abusers. She shot him a glare and told her that Luke wasn't her boyfriend, that they weren't even friends. He muttered something that sounded a lot like 'good' before explaining their situation and his plan.

Wingdramon, Cyberdramon, and DarkWereGarurumon came bursting through the trees only to meet a group of fully digivolved digimon. Andrea didn't know how to lure her brother out and Jun gave her nothing to go on beside the fact that Ayden wanted to see her. She turned to look at Lenny and JT, they both shrugged.

"Ayden! I'm here so lets talk!" She yelled not knowing what else to do. She felt it, the darkness. Turning around she came face to face with the twelve year old she had only known for a couple of months. "Ayden."

"Sister." Ayden said looking her over.

"Andrea, my name is Andrea." She said taking in a deep breath. "You wanted to talk."

"I did now I'm not so sure. I don't know what to say to you."

"I'm not very good with words." Andrea said feeling the darkness that was seeping out of him and not liking it.

Before Ayden could say anything Jun grabbed him from behind. He swapped the crests and a teal light engulfed the clearing. Andrea felt the darkness leave her brother and when she looked at Jun she noticed that his green eyes had darkened and there was a burst of black around the pupil. He oozed darkness but for some reason it suited him. He let Ayden fall to the ground, stepped around him, and walked toward her. Hooking a finger in one of her belt loops he pulled her close to him, with his free hand he put her crest on her.

"Don't lose it again Goldilocks, I may not find it next time." He said lowly.

"Personal space, buddy." She growled shoving him off of her.

"Feisty, I like." He said winking at her before disappearing.

Her dad came running through the trees. He looked from her to the heap that was her brother on the ground. Without hesitating he came toward them and roused her brother. She stood awkwardly behind her dad as he talked to Ayden; he dad was good with words unlike her. When it was her turn to say something she sputtered out something lame, how could she talk to the boy her mother didn't abandon. Before they could try to get her more engaged in their conversation she walked over to where Lenny stood.

"You okay?" Lenny asked noticing how she was tugging at the sleeves of her black shirt.

"I don't think so." She said watching her dad interact with Ayden. "Everything's going to change and I'm not so good with change."
