Dai: Doing one where a Tamers character or two is in Adventure after the series, should also do one with an Adventure character or two in Tamers after the series. The fact that Takato and T.K. look similar, and one version has the Tamers as fourteen, just made it easier.

Vee-Vee: Nothing owned here.

Two weeks after the defeat of MaloMyotismon, Takeru 'T.K.' Takaishi and his Digimon, Patamon, were watching television. Really, there was nothing better to do. Cody had kendo practice, Matt was rehearsing, Sora was shopping for tennis balls... everyone had something to do except for him. Well, there was one other...

"T.K., your friend Ken's here with Wormmon!"

"Hey, Ken. How's it going?"

"Pretty good."

They were interrupted by a light from the television.

"Um... is it supposed to act like this?"

"I don't think so."

Five seconds later, the room was empty, devoid of any living being, human or digital.

21211212

T.K. and Ken found themselves in a park with their Digimon.

"Well, it looks like we're in another world."

"What told you that? The fact that we're on a movie poster for a show called Digimon Adventure?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

"So, what do we do?"

"My recommendation is that we find someone to take us in. There has to be at least one adult who either hasn't heard of this show, or doesn't pay much attention. If we can keep Patamon and Wormmon hidden, it might be easier."

The group set off in an attempt to find someone, anyone, who could give them a place to live.

12121221

Two years later, T.K. and Ken were living in Shinjuku under the names of Takato and Shinji Matsuki. They had found the bakery owners, who weren't the most up to date with what kids were watching, and told them that Patamon and Wormmon were toys, and the only things from their pasts. Surprisingly, they bought into it rather easily. They still went by their old names in private, or with their partners, but mostly bought into it so life would be easier.

"Takato! Shinji! Breakfast!"

"Coming!"

Upon arriving downstairs, they had to answer questions about their plans for the morning.

"Well, I'm going to meet Kenta and Kazu at the park before school, and get tips on the game. What are you going to do, Shinji?"

"I'm going to head around town. See if I can actually track down Rika for once." Rika Nonaka was known as the Digimon Queen because she was the best at the card game, and understood the way this world's DigiWorld worked.

At least, Shinji assumed it, as there was definitely a reason those Digital Fields faded away before he and Wormmon got there, and she was always there. He knew he wasn't necessarily responsible for the way this dimension turned out, but he was more or less stuck living there until further notice, so he might as well have a place to live.

1112121212

While looking for Rika, Shinji and Wormmon saw a Digital Field. Shinji pulled out the sunglasses he had just for such an occasion.

"You ready, Wormmon?"

"Got it, Ken."

"With the size of this Field, it can't be higher than Rookie Level. Becoming Stingmon or Bucchiemon would be unnecessary."

"Of course, that's assuming it's hostile."

"There is that." Takato hadn't been told of the large numbers of Bio-Emergences, only coming along when one was spotted while they were out together. Shinji thought that with all he and Patamon had done for their own Digital World, they could use the rest.

Besides, Patamon's Digivolutions were, quite frankly, overpowered. If he was necessary for them to defeat something, than they were way out of their league.

The two of them walked into the Field to see that Rika was already there, urging a fox Digimon to kill a rabbit Digimon.

"Wormmon, what are those Digimon?"

"Rika's partner is a Renamon, and the one they're fighting is a Lunamon. Renamon live for battle, and Lunamon are normally withdrawn Digimon."

"So, either way, not a fair fight."

"Definitely not. Should we step in?"

"Good idea. It's probably best if we put up a front that's both powerful, and doesn't look threatening. In other words... Digi-Armor Energize!"

"Wormmon Armor Digivolve to Bucchiemon!"

Rika turned around. "This is mine. I was here first."

"Rika, this isn't a fair fight. Lunamon aren't combatant Digimon."

"What do you mean? Digimon exist to fight."

Shinji was beginning to get flashbacks to his time as the Digimon Emperor.

"I once thought something similar to that. It backfired, in the end. It will for you, two, if you aren't careful." Moving slowly, he picked up the Lunamon. "Now, I'll be taking this Digimon and leaving, unless you want to take it up with Bucchiemon."

Renamon eyed the Armor Digimon warily, but made no move. Bucchiemon had two lifetimes of experience as a Digimon Partner, and two years experience with his own Armor form. Compared to him, Rika and Renamon stood no chance of winning. And they both knew it.

"Renamon, fall back. But don't think you win this, Shinji. Next time, we'll be strong enough to defeat you, just you watch."

When the two left, the fog barrier faded, leaving just Shinji, Wormmon, and Lunamon.

"Th-th-thank you. I-I'm L-l-l-lunamon."

"Hello, Lunamon. I'm Wormmon, and this is my partner, Shinji."

"So, he's your... Tamer?"

"You could call it that."

"I wish... I had a Tamer to stand by me. If I weren't so weak. Than no one would t-t-try to k-k-kill me as often."

Shinji ruffled the Digimon's ears. "Don't worry. You've got us now, and Takato and Patamon. We'll take care of you."

"Um... Shinji, if we don't hurry, you'll be late for school."

Shinji tensed, and started running right for the school, Wormmon and Lunamon right behind him.

"Wormmon, tell Lunamon what she needs to do while I'm at school. I definitely won't have time."

21212121

Takato watched the door, waiting for Shinji, until his adopted brother blew in at the last second. He tried to ignore Jeri Katou, who was definitely the weird one of the group.

"What kept you?"

"I met up with Rika, and we had a bit of an argument. No biggie. Of course, then something came up that required Armor, but it wasn't a big deal." In school, the Matsukis tried to avoid all mentioning of Digimon. When impossible, they just left out the names. It had worked so far, after all.

"What happened that you needed Armor?"

"I'll tell you after school." This was code for really important stuff.

During class, Takato had a tendency to doodle. Eventually, he zoned out, and when he blinked, thirty minutes had passed and there was a sketch of a rudimentary saurian Digimon with odd markings. For some reason, there was no name, and he decided to put it in himself.

Guilmon. Yes, that sounded right. Guilmon.

Suddenly, he remembered the teacher, but she was still talking. Odd. Normally, if he wasn't paying attention, she'd snap right at him.

Oh. Shinji was showing off again. Geniuses. At times like this he almost wished a rogue Digimon would appear, just to make things a bit less boring.

1221212112

"Hey, Takato."

"What?" He turned to see Jeri handing him some goggles.

"You said you liked Digimon, right? Rufus thinks that with these you can be your own Tai Kamiya or Davis Motomiya."

Takato nodded and took the goggles. He could have done without being reminded of those that most of the group had referred to as the 'Digi-Idiots'. Well, they were called that behind their backs, anyway. At least, they used to.

Shaking off the memories of his old life, he placed the goggles around his neck and chased after Shinji, who had gone on without him. And to think, that with the new life that they had built up, he was the older brother.

Either way, he did need to go to the park for his cards. He had no clue why he played the game, but it was fun enough.

Now, if he could just stop his friends from making fun of his deck choice and calling him Angel Boy.

21212112

"Hey, T.K., how was school?"

Takato felt a familiar weight on his head when Patamon landed.

"It was fine, Patamon. Ken was almost late. Apparently, something required Bucchiemon."

"Well, so long as it didn't need Stingmon, we still have no real reason to pitch in."

Takato climbed into the area he used to play with his friends, and noticed that Patamon had put the cards back in the box.

"Where's my...?"

Patamon carried over a differently styled red Digivice. "It turned into this. I think it was the card. It's the only thing that could have done this, and it disappeared after you left."

"But why would I need a second Digivice? I already have a D-3." He took it, anyway.

2121212121

"Takato, if you brought home any more junk..."

"It's just goggles. You know, like the Digidestined." They had avoided the show's second season, as they might be recognized, especially given what their 'toys' were.

Upon arriving in the room he shared with Shinji, he put the second Digivice down along with his folder. Shinji and Wormmon were nowhere in sight.

"So, Patamon, how about ice cream?"

When they turned to leave, Takato's folder opened and all of his files went through the second Digivice's card slot. From bread recipes to the Guilmon drawing, it all went through. On the screen appeared a Digi-Egg.

"Well, Patamon, it seems we'll have a new friend soon."

21211221

The reason Shinji wasn't yet home was, quite simply, Lunamon. Or rather, keeping Lunamon hidden.

One Digimon toy was alright, as Wormmon had amassed quite the number of fans, but Lunamon, besides definitely being feminine, was rather large, and therefore, harder to carry. True, being a genius, he could probably figure something out, but he needed to get Lunamon home and under Takato and Patamon's protection. After all, Takato and Patamon were both the most experienced, and most powerful of those he knew. After all, he only started running into Rika during the past six months.

"Alright, Lunamon. Now, the safest way back to the bakery where we live is through the park. We've been using the park for years now when it isn't safe to degenerate."

"So, no one ever comes here?"

"More of, this place seems to have it's own weirdness censor or something. No one ever noticed when a Fugamon Bio-Emerged here and Bucchiemon and Angemon took care of it."

"Angemon?"

"My adopted brother's partner, normally is a Patamon. Those two are highly experienced, and have even gone to the Mega Level before. Sure, that was years ago, but a general philosophy is that if Patamon needs to go Mega, it just isn't worth it. Well, until the world's at stake, anyway."

"How much experience do they have?"

"Six years, about. At least. Depending on how you look at it, it could have been seven."

"And you've had how much?"

"Two to three years less than them."

Lunamon was quiet the rest of the way back.

When Shinji arrived at the bakery, the first thing he saw was Takato coming out the door.

"Shinji, we have a problem. I may have accidentally created a Digi-Egg."

21122121

Dai: So, since T.K. is Takato, changes have been made. For example, mainly using cards fit to work for Holy Digimon. Ken/Shinji's presence changes things as well.
