Chapter One- Scars
"Must it be done this way?" a voice asked, the owner of the voice listened to the reply and sighed.
"I hate it when you put it that way, but to save our own reality we must change another... but don't you think this is going a bit far?" teh voice asked again, the answer made him grumble.
"Fine we'll do it our way, but its your hide if they find out who did this," the voice said with resignation, it began.

Rika blinked when the tamers landed in a heap in the park, her eyes widened when she saw that two members of there group were missing.
"Wheres Takato and Guilmon, when we were pulled into the portal they were with us?" Rika asked, with a start the other tamers looked around and noticed he wasn't with them.
"Maby they went to where Guilmon usually stays," Renamon suggested, the others nodded and quickly ran there.
"This can't be right," Henry said when they entered, it looked like Guilmon had never stayed there. It was in perfect condition, there was no signs of Guilmon anywhere.
"Tamers," a voice said, there eyes widened when they reconized it and they ran outside. Just outside was the soverine digimon Azulongmon, and his face was grave.
"Azulongmon whats going on, wheres Takato?" Kenta asked worried, the mega sighed and answered.
"That portal carried you to another timeline and your old one was destroyed, unfortuneately Takato Matsuda in this timeline never became a Tamer and so Guilmon was never created," Azulongmon answered, the tamers gasped. Guilmon wasn't alive in this timeline, did they even know Takato in this world.
"How did this happen Azulongmon, can we go back to our old one?" Henry asked, the mega shook its head sadly.
"The timeline you know is no longer and soon you will remember the timeline here, you will always remember your old one though. I do not know what happened, I hope you understand that ou are still all tamers but you do know know Takato," the mega said, he looked at the tamers who looked at him sadly.
"But if we don't know Takato where is he, and what happened to him after he fell into the portal?" Henry asked, The mega actually frowned slightly.
"I do not know where he is in this timeline and my time grows short so i must return to the digital world, by the time I leave you will remember your life in this timeline," Azulongmon said, he then flew up into the sky and in a flash of light returned to the digital world.
"Takato," Rika whispered, maby she would find out what had happened to the goggled boy and set things the way they should be.

Digimon... that was something he hated, he hated them with all his heart. Years ago a digimon attack had killed his parents and fifty other people, he had almost been killed that day also. The only reason he had stayed alive longer then everyone else was because the digimon found him interesting to torture, he didn't find it that interesting.
He had been such an innocent child thinking digimon were just a card game, after that day he had spent almost a whole year in the hospital to heal... he still had terrible scars covering his body.
He also hated the tamers, everyone knew what they were and he hated them. They had digimon partners, digimon... creatures who had destroyed his life. Who cares if they had saved the world, they couldn't bring back his parents or take away his pain.
Once when he was younger before the incident he had drawn a picture of what his digimon partner would be if he was a tamer, but that dream was forever destroyed by digimon.
He didn't know why he had kept those pictures to this day, he had even drawn much more detailed pictures and stats for his digimon. He even had a few digivolutions forms for it, he kept them hidden under his bed... they were like a link to his past.
The incident had happened when he was five years old... his birthday to be exact, he could still remember clearly the scenes of his parents being torn in half.
'Kami-sama why can't I forget, will I forever be forced to live as a freak' the boy thought, Takato Matsuda closed his red eyes sadly and placed a single rose on his parents grave.
"Ready to go Takato?" a voice asked, Takato turned to see his guardian... the same man who had pulled him from the shattered remains of his parents bakery. This man had been by his side during the hospital, the many surgeries and even got him the experimental surgery to give him hhis sight back.
"Almost Yamaki, just a minute longer," he answered, the blond nodded and walked back to the car to wat for the ten year old.
"Goodbye mom, dad. Tomorow I'm going back to Shinjuku, to face the past and Yamaki says I could make friends... buts its going to be hard with my scars," Takato whispered and he wiped a tear away, when he had been let out of the hospital under Yamakis guardianship they had moved away from Shinjuku... to many bad memories.
"But I'll be back, I just hope I don't meet any digimon... I couldn't bare it," Takato whispered sadly, with that he turned and walked to where Yamaki waited.
***
Takato yawned as he walked into his new bedroom, his entire day had been filled with unpacking his things from boxes and arranging his room. School for himself would start tomorrow, Yamaki had already arranged with the school so he wouldn't have to take gym.
'I'm glad I don't have to take gym class, then I'd have to change in the locker room and everyone would see my scars' Takato thought sadly tears threatening to fall, he shook his head making them go away.
'Can't think like that, I'm here to start over again... I can't start thinking bad things about how people will react to me' Takato thought, he closed his bedroom door and pulled off his shirt. His shirt was a longsleeve black turtleneck T-shirt with a red hazard sign on its front, next he pulled off his tight black jeans, socks and fingerless black gloves.
Without them on he could see his many many scars, once there had been more but surgery had removed them... but surgery could only do so much.
Last of all he pulled off his red bandana, on it was four triangular markings. He had made the design on his bandana himself and also the design on his shirt, they were the markings he had put on his imaginary digimon.
'I wonder why I still work on Guilmon even if I hate all digimon, its like I'm waiting for something... or something is missing from my life' Takato thought feeling slightly confused, he sighed and after pulling on his pajamas he climbed into his large soft bed.
~
Five year old Takato looked in terrible fear as a strange creature killed his parents slowly and painfully, blood splashed through the air and even landed on him. He sobbed deeply not understanding what these creatures wanted, all he knew so far was that they looked like the creatures from the digimon card game.
"Were done with the human adults, wheres the child?" one of the digimon said, Takato whimpered as all the digimons eyes turned his way.
"Hmmm... I can feel his energy from where I'm standing, we'll have to kill him before he becomes a problem in the future," the digimon in charge said sneering at the small child, Takato sobbed even deeper.
"Lets have a little fun with him first, make him feel pain before he finally is destroyed," another digimon suggested, Takato screamed as they moved towards him there eyes bloodthirsty.
~
Takato sat up in his bed with a silent scream, his pajamas were soaked with sweat. Slowly he climbed out of bed and changed into clean pajamas. He then climbed back into bed with a slightly depressed sigh, he had dreamed of that day again... when digimon had destroyed his life.
'I wish I didn't have to remember that day so well... then maby I wouldn't be so sad, but as long as i don't ever see a real digimon again I should be fine' Takato thought, with that he fell into a dreamless sleep.
***
'Another day of school, and its like any other day of school' Henry thought as he slid into his desk, it had been two days since he had been brought into this reality. He now had all his memories of his life in this timeline, everything had happened so much different without Takato in it... but he had gotten use to it now.
But it still bugged him that he didn't know what had happened to the goggled teen, in his new memories he had never seen or heard about Takato... could his friend be dead in this timeline.
"Good morning class," Mrs Asagi said as she entered the classroom, everyone said good morning and pulled out there binders ready to work.
"Class, today we are recieving a new student," she said, Henry looked up from his desk curious of what kid would of transfered to the area this late in the term.
'Wonder if Rika actually got her mother to transfer her here, that would make her nearer to the rest of us tamers' Henry thought and he remembered what he and the other tamers had discused, they had decided to find takato after school if they could.
"Class say hello to Takato Matsuda," Mrs Asagi said, Henry froze and he saw the other tamers in the class freeze also, he couldn't belive it but he was about to find his friend.
The door opened and Takato walked in... but he was so different, he wore way different style of clothing then the other timeline and he wasn't smiling like the original Takato had always done.
"Its nice to meet you all, I hope we will all get along," Takato said in a cheerless voice, it still sounded friendly but it didn't sound like the Takato they had known.
'Takato, what happened in this timeline to make you like this' Henry thought, Takato wore all black exceopt for a red bandana and the symbol on his shirt. In his interest he noticed takato wore a red hazard symbol on his shirt... the same one that Guilmon had once had in black on his chest.
He almost sighed when he noticed the triangular symbols on his bandana, it seemed that even though guilmon didn't exist in this timeline Takato still associated himself with those symbols.
'I wonder if he still remembers the other timeline we all came from, or has he forgotten everything... like our friendship' Henry thought sadly, he sighed and silently watched Takato go to an empty seat by the classrooms window.
'Takato' he thought.
***
His eyes were bothering him, ever since the incident they bothered him when the light was too bright. He sighed glad that school was almost over for the day, as soon as the bell rang he planned to run to where Yamaki had told him he would be picked up. Yamaki was all the family he had now, the blond man had replaced his parents... but there wasn't the same bond of blood between them.
During the day he made himself not look at the other students, he wasn't yet ready to face them... to find out if they would accept him for who he was. He remembered all to well the many people who had rejected him, all because his body was ravaged with so many terrible scars.
'Digimon who needs them, sure they saved the world but what good have they done for me personally' Takato thought angerly his hands clenched slightly, he blinked realizing that his sight was starting to blur.
'Not now... not here on my first day of school, why must it happen now' Takato thought with fear, even with the experimental treatments to give him back his sights sometimes it would blur and he wouldn't be able to see well for a hour or so.
'Just act normal Takato, you can do this... you've done it before' Takato thought to himself, with that in mind he continued to look unemotional to everyone.... but inside he was breaking of this continueing facade.
Finally the school bell rang signalling the end of day, he stuffed his things into his backpack and ran out of class as the teacher reminded them to actually do there homework. He smiled when through his blurred sight he spotted Yamaki, with a relieved sigh he ran towars the man who gave him strength to live.
"How was your day Takato?" Yamaki asked as he got into the car, Takato sighed and pulled on his blue tinted sunglasses.
"Usual school stuff Yamaki, but I didn't make any friends... maby tomorrow I'll get a chance to talk to them," Takato said truthfully, the first day at a new school was always the bussiest.... thankfully with his high grades he didn't have to much trouble.
"I want you to make friends Takato, you shouldn't spend so much time inside on your computer," Yamaki said, Takato smiled knowing that his guardian worried about him being alone all the time.
"Who knows, maby I might make a friend one day," Takato said with a wistful smile, in his minds eye the only friend he wanted was the red dragon digimon from his dreams.
***
"We lost him," Jerry said witha sigh, Henry also sighed as he looked around for Takato. He had followed as quickly as he could but hadn't spotted where he had gone, it was then that a familliar weight settled on his shoulders.
"Yamaki," Terriermon old him, startled Henry looked at his partner.
"Yamaki, but how?" he asked, the rabbit like digimon snorted peering into his tamers face.
"Yamaki was never part of the people that tried to delete digimon in this world so i bet something changed his life also, and i saw him pick up Takato just before you guys came," Terriermon said, Henry frowned and noticed Kenta and Kazu were coming this way.
"Wheres Takato?" Kenta asked, Henry shook his head sadly.
"Gone by the time I got heer, but Terriermon tells me he left with Yamaki," Henry told him, the two others tamers blinked in surprise.
"Weird, I wonder how Takato and Yamaki met in this timeline... we never met the blond dude in this timeline," Kazu said, Henry also pondered this.
