A boy stand up on the rock as the digimon scatter around him, in fear of enslavement.

"It's the Digimon Emperor!"

"Run for your lives."

Gatomon was running away from the human, away from the Dark Rings. One gotten too close, she deflected it with the golden ring around her tail. Gatomon's holy ring though, fell out. "My ring!" She went to get it back, but a centurmon blocked her way. It's left upper leg, hit her in the face knocking her to the ground, "Kari…" she cried for help.

Kari woke up from her sleep. Having a nightmare about Gatomon being in trouble. Though why did it felt so real? Looking at the clock it was almost time for her to wake up. Well at least I woke up almost on time. I should go wake up Tai.

Getting out of her room Kari saw her dad was cooking breakfast. "Oh, Kari you're awake early. Wanna take first dibs on the pancakes?" She and her brother were thankful for their father being a good cook.

"Sorry I can't drop you off on your first day TK, but I have to finish this article about the importance of summer camps."

"It's okay mom, I can go on my own." Bidding his mom goodbye as he starts his day at Shinjuku Elementary School. Opening the elevator, T.K. was greeted with two strangers, kids around his age. "Oh, uh hey there."

"Oh, hey, you're the new neighbor right?" Purple haired girl with the glasses asked.

"Yeah that's me. Names Takeru Takaishi, but my friends call me TK."

"My name is Miyako Inoue, but my friends call me Yolie." Yolie said before pointing to the younger boy with brown hair. "That's Iori Hida, but I like to call him Cody."

"Hello." Cody greeted TK with a small wave of his hand.

"Hello to you too." TK said as the three of them got out of the elevator. "By any chance are you guys going to Shinjuku Elementary School?"

"Sure am. In fact I'm the computer club president there." Yolei said with full pride.

"Yeah I can see why." TK felt like this day was going to get better.

"Takato you're going to be late for school!" A mother yelled at her son to hurry up.

A 12 year old boy came bursting out of his room, "I'm going! I'm going!" Takato then fell down of the stairs due him rushing down. The mother and father winced at the sound of impact the boy had. Though due to the rush of adrenaline, Takato brush off the pain and made his way out of the door.

"Takato wait! You're lunch!"

The boy came rushing back, take the lunch, "thanks mom!" Then went rushing out the door again.

Tommy Himi walked towards the Shinjuku Elementary school, ever since he and the others came back from the Digital world, things have become better for them. Tommy gotten more friends and his relationship with his brother had gotten a lot better. Looking at the school, Tommy can tell he was going to have a great time this year. He can't wait to make new friends.

Kouichi was nervous to say the least, this was after all a new school he was able to get a scholarship in. Outside of the classroom door, he nervously opened it. There were kids around his age, but there was younger girl there. She almost look about 10 years old. Yet again the Tamachi Highland School have grades from pre-k to 12, so there bound to be some smart kids skipping some grades. "Class I would like to meet Koichi Kimura, he is the new transfer student attending who will be attending our class for the rest of the school year." Said the teacher. "Would you like to introduce yourself?"

"Hi, I'm Koichi Kimura. It's really nice to meet you all."

Kari was kind of bored, the teacher was talking to a student outside. It was only a couple of minutes late for class to start. "So Kari?"

She looked at the boy sitting on her left side. "Yes Davis?"

"Who do you think the new kid is?"

"I don't know."

"Well I think it's that kid I met at the soccer field." Davis was a nice guy, he admired her brother a lot. He even got goggles because of him.

Kari smiled at the thought, it kind of cute. "Well what does he look like?"

Davis thought for a moment, "well blonde hair with blue eyes, and a weird hat." The door suddenly open, "ha, see I knew it."

Kari looked at the door to see who entered, and it was a great surprise. She smile at TK, as the teacher told him to sit next to her. "This is a pleasant surprise."

"Well I did say I was going to an ordinary elementary school." TK grinned at his friend. Unbeknownst to the two, Davis looked shock at the two talking, believing they were flirting with each other.

A red dino-digimon with a v-shaped head was running up a couple of rocks, leaping off the air to hit Centuramon in the back with his microphone. "Stay away from the damsel in distress." Centarumon stumbled forward, disoriented from the attacked.

The red dino grabbed Gatomon's paw and lead her to safety, "did you seriously just call me a damsel, Shoutmon?" Gatomon asked, annoyed at what the red digimon just call her.

"No time to talk, just run!" Shoutmon yelled, as both digimon ran through the bushes for cover.

Tai was heading to Kari's school to pick her up, when his digivice suddenly went off. "Agumon." Tai looked around for the computer lab in his highschool to find Izzy. Of course Izzy will always be with the computers, "Izzy!"

Taking off his earplugs, Izzy looked at the the older kid with concern. "What's the matter Tai?"

"It's Agumon! I heard him through my Digivice, it sounds like he's in trouble."

"Are you sure, because weren't able to contact the digiworld for a very long time."

"I'm sure of it."

"Tai even if you did hear Agumon, how are we gonna get to-?" Before Izzy can finish his sentence, the computer Izzy was on suddenly went static as well as Tai's digivice started to glow. "Nevermind."

"Izzy, go get the others. I'm going on ahead." Putting his out to the screen, Tai yell "Digiport open!"

"Wait Tai-!" Tai then disappear into the computer. "Nevermind." Izzy mutter under his breath. Decided to not waste anymore time, Izzy started to run to Kari's school and make phone calls to the other Digidestined.

Unbeknownst to crest of Knowledge, the Warrior of Light was eavesdropping on the two crest holders. The Digital World is in trouble and we're not the only digidestined? Kouichi thought as he decides to make his own phone calls.

"So TK, how your like the your new apartment?" Kari asked. As she wait for TK to put his school's shoes away.

"I can tell she likes it by how fast she went to work on her articles." TK's phone started to ring, it was from Izzy. "Hey Izzy." Davis was about to walk into the room, when he heard TK yelled "what!?" The soccer player decided to eavesdrop. "Kari, Izzy told me to us to meet in the computer lab! Tai went to the digital world and apparently Agumon is in trouble."

"What? Then let's hurry!" Davis then pushes himself against the wall as the other two kids ran through the doorway. Curious, he started to follow them to the computer lab. There he saw Kari and TK talking to three older kids, it looks like they were wearing Shinjuku Middle School uniforms.

Tai was heading towards the direction the digivice was leading to his partner. Upon going pass several bushes, Tai saw Agumon on the ground, "Agumon!"

The orange dinosaur looked to Tai, "Tai, you're here."

Getting Agumon up on his feet, "Are you alright? What's going on here?"

Tai looked around to see other digimon running away. "You need to digivolve, quick."

"I can't Tai."

"What do you mean you can't?"

"There's something that's preventing me from digivolving, but we have to get out of here. There's something you need to show you something." Taking the digidestined of courage, Agumon lead Tai to a cave. In the cave there were digimon that were injured, as if they just barely gotten out of a battle. "Look Tai!" Agumon pointed to an egg on the ground, "That digiegg has the crest of courage."

Connecting the dots, Tai walked up to the digiegg, "maybe with this you can digivolve." Though when Tai struggle to lift the egg, there was a flash of light, blinding Tai and the digimon. When the light stopped, three glowing objects hover above the egg. The said objects shot up in the air, as if they needed to go somewhere. "What was that?"

"Where's Joe?" Matt asked to shorter red head boy.

"Joe wasn't answering his phone."Izzy answered. "Tai went ahead, but maybe with us there in the Digital World we might be in time to help him."

Just then the door open to the computer lab, Yolie looked to the strangers. "Um sorry, but the computer club isn't open yet. Hey wait a minute, those are Shinjuku Middle School uniforms. Why are you here?"

"Hey Yolie it's me, TK." TK then tried to get her attention, "They are my friends, they just need the computer lab. Izzy's laptop gotten a virus and the computers at their middle school isn't working for anyone."

"Yeah, it's a school project we have to work on." Izzy added. "So do you mind if we use the computer lab for just today?"

"Are you kidding? You're Izzy this school's greatest computer club president how could I say no." Yolie said fangirling over Izzy, "If you need help, I'll gladly be of assistance."

"Yolie!" Cody then shouted to get the girl's attention. "You said you were gonna come to my house to fix the computer."

"Oh that's right." Yolie said defeated. "Sorry Izzy, but I can't let you use the computer lab unsupervised."

"Why don't you let me have the keys to the lab, and then when they're done I can close it for you." Extending out her hand, "Kari Kamiya"

"Kamiya, you're Tai's younger sister and a very good student to the teachers." Yolie sighed shaking the other girl's hand, "Alright you can have the keys, but make sure you put it back in the faculty room."

"Don't worry I will." Kari took the keys as the other kids walked into the computer lab, "Thanks again Yolie." The girl said as she closed the door behind her.

Though while their conversation were going on Koji, Takuya, Zoe, JP, and Tommy followed the three middle schoolers to Shinjuku Elementary School. "You sure they were talking about the Digiworld Koji?" JP asked.

"There were two kids in the computer lab, but only one of them left." Koji said to the warrior of thunder, "One of them said he head a digimon through a digivice."

"Could that mean that they're the digidestined?" Zoe wondered, then a smiled appeared on her face. "Could there also be a way back to the digiworld to meet Bokomon and Neemon?"

"But if there are new digidestined, couldn't that also mean that the Digiworld is in trouble again?" Tommy asked worryingly. "What if our friends are in danger?"

"Then we're gonna have to get to the Digiworld and help them out." Takuya said with a determination. Noticing the kids heading going into the computer lab, Takuya started to head for their direction. "If these guys are the digidestined, then they gotta know how to get to the digiworld."

Koji stopped Takuya before he could make another step. Before Takuya could asked what was wrong, Koji pointed to a young boy wearing goggles. "Seems like we're not the only ones wondering what's going on."

"Well Izzy any luck?" Matt asked in the computer lab.

"Ever since the D-Reaper incident, accessing the digital portal had become a lot more difficult than before." Izzy said typing furiously.

"It's too bad we weren't able to help those kids in their fight against the D-Reaper." Sora said, disappointed in herself.

"I'm surprise the Government was still able to convince the public that the digimon who were fighting weren't real." In annoyance, Matt crossed his arms as he lean against the wall. "That the D-Reaper was just messing around with the cameras and producing gas to make people believe that digimon exists."

"Do you think the Digiworld managed to rebuild itself?" TK asked.

"If it didn't, Agumon wouldn't be able to call Tai."

"There is something wrong." Kari said, catching the attention of Matt, TK, and Sora. "I had a nightmare that Gatomon was in trouble, on the same day Agumon called Tai."

Izzy finally managed to access the digital portal, "Prodigious, I finally got it!" After he said that, three glowing objects shot out of the computer and out through the door. Scaring not only the digidestined in the room, but a kid near the doorway.

Getting a grip of himself, Matt went to check outside. The three objects created holes on the door. Opening the damaged door, Matt saw Davis on the ground bewildered by the object in his hands. Looking up Davis smiled nervously, "Uh hi?"

Takato, Kazu, and Kenta were walking up the stairs to their classroom. "Man Kenta, I can't believe you left our cards in the classroom!"

"Me? It was your job to keep an eye on them!" Kenta countered. "Besides, we all know your gonna get your butt kicked by Rika again. So I don't get why you're so worked up about."

"Because today is the day I get to defeat the Digimon Queen."

"You said that two weeks ago Kazu." Takato sighed. Looking up he saw the computer club president heading down the stairs with a smaller kid. "Oh hey Yolie!"

"Hey Takato." Yolie replied. "Oh can you tell Henry that Kari Kamiya has the computer lab keys. I wouldn't want him to think I lost them."

"Sure thing-" Takato was then interrupted by two glowing objects landing into Yolie and the other kid hands.

Yolie yelped by the sudden weight in her hands. "What? What is this thing?"

Davis was sitting on a chair, pouting. "Look I was just walking by, I didn't hear a thing about a Digiworld or something."

"If you didn't hear a thing, then why did you say Digiworld?" TK countered.

"You know can pick up words by just walking by talking people you know?" Davis tried to defend himself. "Besides what were you doing with Kari, huh?"

"What are you-"

"Enough, come on we need to go to the Digiworld to save my brother and our digimon." Kari interrupted the two boys arguing. "Davis you wanna help us?"

Before either Matt or TK could make a protest, Davis shot up from his chair. "Tai's in danger? Of course I'll help Kari!"

"I'll stay here, to make the Digiport stays open."

Kari put out her digivice, "Digiport open!"

In a flash the other digidestined and Davis were gone. Just in time before Yolie opened the door. With Cody, Takato, Kazu, and Kenta behind her. "Izzy what's going on!?" Looking around the room, "And where are the others?!"

"Yolie!" Izzy screamed startled by her yelling. "I thought you were headed home?"

"No I was going to go to Cody's apartment, then I'll go to my apartment." Yolie then show a red digivice in her hand. "Until this thing pop out of nowhere!"

Cody the showed green digivice as well, "I got it too."

"We would like to know what's going too." The kids at the door way then screamed at the voice behind them.

From his startle pose, Kazu looked at Tommy, who was besides the older goggle head kid, "Oh hey Tommy."

Izzy sighed, This is going to take a long time to explain. "Have any of you heard about the Digiworld? Izzy was relieved to find that only Yolie and Cody knew about it.

"Digiworld, you mean like a game or a amusement park?" Yolie asked. "Because if that's the case I wanna go."

"Well…"

"Now way." Koji interrupted. "It's too dangerous for kids like you to be in the digiworld."

"Yeah, you'll just get in the way." Kazu said. "Let the professionals handle."

"Who was saying you were coming with us." Takuya said to the spiky haired boy. "Aren't you about the same age as her."

"Hey just so you know we were the ones to face against the D-reaper, and Takato here was the one who defeat it." Crossing in arms, "What were doing staying at home with your mommy."

Takato got in between the to boys, "Hey, hey now let's not get too angry here." Leaning closer to Kazu, so that only his friend can hear his whisper. "Kazu we swore to keep that a secret for Mr. Yamaki." Sadly it was already too late.

"Wait you're that kid on TV." Zoe asked.

"Digimon? Digiworld? So wait you are going to a video game." Yolie asked.

"It's not a video game!" The legendary warriors shouted at her.

Izzy was at a lost for words here, how is he going to get their attention now? Well as luck as have it, Sora send him a message that she got separated from Matt and the others when they went through the Digiportal. "Oh uh."

Cody was the first to break away from to hear what Izzy said. "What's the matter, Izzy?"

The people who arguing suddenly stopped, to hear what the computer kid has to say. "Sora got separated from Matt, TK, and Kari."

"We'll help her." Takuya exclaimed. "Just send us there and we'll help get friend back."

Izzy thought for a moment, Yolie and Cody their digivices just like Davis. Could they be the new Digidestined? "To be honest, the digiportal isn't as stable as it used to be. If I just send all of you in, who knows where we'll end up. Right now we'll only have groups of four to send at a time." Izzy said picking locations to send people. "Yolie, you and Cody should come with me. Maybe there is a reason you two got digivices."

"Alright!"

"I'll come too, I've been meaning to see Guilmon again." Takato volunteer. Looking over to Kazu and Kenta, "You two should go tell the other's about this, they're probably wondering what's been taking us so long."

Kenta pouted as he started to walk out the door, "Yeah I guess you're right."

Kazu gave out a disappointed sigh as he followed Kenta out the door, "Going go having too much fun without us, you got that."

JP looked to Izzy, "So what do you want us to do?"

"I need someone to keep the digiportal open, so that us and the others can find a way back."

Zoe smiled confidently, "Don't worry we got it, Izzy."

Yolie then filled with excitement. "All right let's go!" After a few moments nothing happens. "So how do we get to the Digiworld Izzy?"

Izzy face palmed, "Digiport open." and just like that they were gone.

Admittedly, Davis was not having the best of days. Yeah he gets to hang around with Kari and get to be in a new world, but having your crush laughed at you as you got scared by small green guys, was not the best moment of his life. "So exactly where are we, and what's going on?"

"You should've asked that before you agreed to come with us." Matt scolded. "We're in the Digiworld."

"Like that video game?"

"No, video games are fake, this place is real."

"So wait that would the digimon who fought against the D-reaper were real too."Then a smile form on Davis' face, "Aww sweet, so I wasn't going crazy."

"Kari!" A talking cat came out of the bushes, and leaped into Kari's arms. "You're here! Patamon our partners here!"

Another digimon came out of the bushes landed on TK's head. "You made it! You made it!"

"Great to see you too Patamon." TK said smiling as Kari hugged her digimon. Davis all the while is speechless by the talking, weird looking animals.

Matt put his hand on the boy's shoulder, looking at the kid sympathetically. "Don't worry, you get use to it. Joe did." Looking from where the two digimon appeared from, he notice that they were not alone. "Hey who's that digimon?"

Gatomon looked to the red dino digimon, "That's Shoutmon, he's the one who saved me."

Shoutmon puffed out his chest, "Oh it was nothing, all in the day's work of the Digimon King." Turning around to the direction of their hideout, "Come on we have to find safety, being out in the open draws too much attention."

"Is my brother with you?" Kari asked. "He has a big hair and a pair of goggles, he's partner with a digimon name agumon."

"Oh yeah, they're in the cave." Signaling the others to follow, Shoutmon start to run to the hideout. "But we got get there quick before the Digimon Emperor notice us."

Unfortunately for Shoutmon, it already happen. What the four kids and the digimon don't know is that they were being watched through the cameras by the Digimon Emperor. "Seems like we got new players, let's see if they're good." Looking to a different camera, "and it looks like their not the only ones." The human started typing, "let's make sure they won't cause trouble for us. Snimon attack."

Yolie opened her eyes, to see they were in some sort of forest with plants she haven't seen in life. "So this is the Digiworld? It's so cool."

Cody kneeled down by a plant, "Some of these look like they're from a different planet."

Takato looked down his digivice, and he notice that compass mode was on. Looks like I finally fulfill my promise boy. Looking up he notice that something was missing on the sky. "Hey Izzy, where's the human world?"

"What do mean Takato?"
"Last time I was in the Digiworld, I saw the human world on the sky shooting out data beams."

"Really because when I was in the Digiworld, it looked like this. Maybe you were sent to a different part of the Digiworld." Izzy looked down to his digivice to find out where Sora is. "Either way we still have to find Sora, luckily for us the the digiportal didn't send us too far from our intended location.

Cody then heard something, "wait I hear something. It sounds like it's buzzing." There was a moment of quiet, in the group, and they too hear the buzzing.

Izzy widening his eyes as notice the sound getting louder, "we need to go now." Though just as he said that, Snimon appear from atop the trees, making Yolie fall back by the sudden appearance. "Yolie!" Izzy yell as snimon was getting closer to Cody.

"Pyro-sphere!" A blast suddenly hit the snimon, making the mantis digimon lose control of his flying. Looking to where the blast came from, Takato saw his long time partner Guilmon. "Guilmon?" Though before either of them got to say a word, the ground beneath them started to shake and both Takato and Guilmon were dragged through a large hole.

Kenta was hiding behind Kazu from the terrifying Digimon Queen. "He went on his own?! Without us?!"

"To be fair it looked like they needed help." Kazu said nervously. "And they were in a hurry."

"Still though I expected from either of you two, but not Takato." Clenching her fist, "Stupid goggle head, going to the digiworld without us."

"Rika right, we're not sure if Takato might be able to comeback at all." Henry said with concern. "You mention that there were problems with the portal."

"Yeah, but there having other kids make sure the Digiport stays open and to have nothing happen to it."

"You know any of these kids?"

"Well we know Yolie and little kid her who about Suzie's age. Then there's Tommy, he goes to our class, but we don't anything about the older kids who were with him or that other guy who needed our help."

"They were wearing the Shinjuku Middle School uniforms." Kenta added, finally being brave enough to get out from behind Kazu. "They seem like they've been to the digiworld before."

Kazu huffed, "yeah they were acting like they were grown ups or something."

"Honestly with you two, it's not hard to believe they the mature ones in that situation." Rika remarked, sighing Rika stood up. "Come on let's go."

"Go? Where?"

"To your school duh, I wanna know just who we are dealing with."

Looking the queen, Kazu and Kenta follow her. "And maybe we'll see our partners again." Henry mutter under his breath as he too follow the other kids. He wanted make a call to Jeri or his dad, but maybe it's best to make sure if they really reunite with their partners first.

Kari went into the cave, she saw there many digimon severely injured. She saw Tai trying to help out a bunny like digimon. "Tai?"

The digidestined of courage looked up to his sister running up, giving him a hug. "Hey guys."Tai looked to Davis. "Davis you're here too?"

"He's here to help. We all are." Kari answered, "Who had us so worried."

"Yeah sorry about that, Agumon just seem like he needed help. They all do." Gesturing to the digimon who were in the cave.

"What exactly did happen to them?" Davis asked.

"The digimon emperor happen." Gatomon grunted. "One day a mean human came to our world and started to take over places." Kari notice that Gatomon was missing her tail ring. "Because of him I lost my tail ring, and now I have the strength of a rookie."

Patamon got off of TK's head and landed on the ground. "He said his name was the Digimon Emperor, and has this weird looking digivice that prevent us from digivolving."

Matt looked to Davis, "Davis pull out your digivice."

Getting what the blonde kid was saying, "You mean like this thing?" He asked showcasing his blue digivice.

Some of the digimon leaned away, while others growl at the boy. "Yeah like that! What are you, working for the Emperor?" Shoutmon exclaimed.

Davis walked back, "no, no, no! I'm not working for anyone. It just appeared into hand today."

Tai hearing about this, started to make connections. So those objects were digivices, what about the other two?

"He takes control of digimon with a ring, most the us like to call those things dark rings." Patamon continue, interrupting Tai's thought.

"Digimon Emperor! I like to slap a dark ring on him!" Kari stated, Davis looked stunned he never seen Kari this angry before. This Emperor guy is sure gonna regret making her angry.

He would be, if he wasn't closed up in his dark room full of screens. He giggled as he say the invading humans who were in the cave. Though the dark ring does not audio, it does make clear images of what's going on in the cave. With the ring, he tracked those children down to the cave and know where their location is. "Foolish children, you let me right to them, if you think you can help them." Looking to the other group of kids, he saw a boy who was wearing goggles like to the other two boys, hugging a red dinosaur digimon. The dark haired tyrant smiled, he couldn't let these new players invade his territory or have the digimon helping them without consequence. He would use that child and that digimon as a lesson. "Drimogemon grab that child and the dinosaur."

The holders of the two new devices were in a state of shock, seeing Takoto and that red dinosaur fall into the hole left them wanting to go back home. "They're gone." Yolie manage to make words, as she fell to her knees. "Like they ground swallow them."

Cody then spoke, quavering voice was what he make. "I want to go home now, please."

Izzy run to the two younger children,trying to get them to snap out of it before Snimon could make his next attack. "Come on we need to go find a safe place."

"But what about Takato?" Yolie asked still staring at the large hole, tears falling down her face.

"We'll find him, but we first got to find safety."

"I don't want to be here anymore! I want go home!" Yolie screamed.

Snimon started to fly down to the children, before he was hit from his right. "Spiral Twister!"

"Super Shocker!"

The three kids looked to where the attacks came from. It was from Tentomon and Biyomon, "Izzy over here!" Sora waved to get the children's attention. "There's safety nearby here. Come on!"

"Right! Yolie, Cody stay with me we're going to be safe." Izzy said dragging the two kids with him. Biyomon and Tentomon then made their last attack directed towards Snimon's eyes. Blinding the digimon, enough for them to make their escape.

Takuya groaned in annoyance, "We're wasting time, we should just go and help them."

"I agree with Takuya, they're taking longer than they should've." JP added, "What if those kids get hurt and we're just standing here doing nothing."

"But what are we supposed to do?" Zoe asked, "Don't you guys remember we lost our digivices when we came back home?"

"And without them, how are we going to spirit evolve?" Tommy added. The kids bow their heads, feeling helpless in their situation.

"Well we'll cross that bridge when we get there." Takuya looked to Koji, "What about Kouichi, any word from him?"

"All I did was sent him message, Tamachi is a far away place Takuya, he won't be able to make it." Kouichi crossed his arms, "Besides, that school is strict about studying I wouldn't want him to get distracted to problem we can't even take part to solve."

JP put his hand in his pockets watching the computer with the digiport open, "how much do you think changed since we left? I mean when we were at the Digiworld it felt like days, but when we got back only a couple of hours pass." Looking to the ground, "Do Bokomon and Neemon even remember us?"

While they were in the cave Tai decided to show them the digiegg, many of the digimon and Tai were not able to budge it after it's little light show. Matt, Kari, and TK try to lift the egg, but like the rest of them it did not budge. It was Davis' turn, "you sure you want me to do it?"

"Well it is worth a shot, and it sort of make sense." Tai stated, "I bet that digivice your holding came from that digiegg."
"Kind of a huge jump there don't you think?"

TK then wrap his arm around Davis, "come on Davis, don't tell me that your scare or anything."

"I'm not scare, look I'll show you!" Davis huff as he stomps to the digiegg. When he lift the egg, it caused him to fall back. Davis expected the egg to weigh a ton, but it was light as a feather as he lift it.

There was a hole to where the egg was on, a light appear out of it was a small blue creature came out of it. The blue digimon looked to Davis, and a smile appeared on its face. "Davis!" The digimon shouted as he leapt onto Davis.

Davis grunted at the sudden weight on his stomach, "yeah? Who are are you?"

"I'm your partner, Veemon!" Veemon answered, "I've been waiting for a long time Davis."

"Sorry to keep you waiting?" Davis said nervously, maybe he should've ask what was going on before he decided to help Kari.

Cody was still stunned about what happen to Takato, he wanted to go home, but there was just something about this world that make him want to learn more. He followed up the stairs to a temple they decided to hideout. Cody was too busy in his own thoughts to listen to the conversation Sora and Izzy were having. "You sure they were out?" Izzy asked Sora, "How is it you were not able to lift yours?"

"I'm sure, it was like I was trying to lift a polar. Maybe you can lift yours?" Sora ask to computer genius.

"If you can't lift them, I highly I would be able to." Izzy looked to the other kids, "you know after you and the other's left these two got the same digivice as Davis. Maybe they can lift them."

"Here we are!" Tentomon stated, "be careful the digimon here is very demanding."

"You know I can hear." Tentomon yelped in surprise, at the sudden voice behind him. The digimon behind him was small white digimon having a pink rubber-band like thing wrapped around his body. The digimon smile to his newcomers as he extends his arm to greet them, "Hello I'm Bokomon, it's so nice to see more humans."

"Bokomon helped us find those digieggs, he's been keeping an eye on them wondering what they do." Sora said as Bokomon shake the other kids hands. "He was surprised to find out that me and Biyomon bearers of the crest of love."

"And he wouldn't stop talking." Biyomon muttered that only Sora can hear.

"Oh yes I was surprised that I was able to her face to face, oh it was dream come true. " Bokomon said, "and to meet the digidestined of knowledge is another dream come true."

"It's great to meet you Bokomon, but may we see those egg I've been hearing about?" Izzy said nervously, he was so used to having a digimon being a fan of him.

"Oh yes of course, follow me." Bokomon lead them to the egg, both the crest of love and knowledge appeared on them.

Izzy seen digi-eggs before, but these one were quite different. Normal digi-eggs were huge a simple marking, these two were smaller and decorative. The egg with the crest of love was metal with wings coming out, while the one with knowledge was yellow with purple marking and metal tip. Izzy looked to Yolie and cody, "how about you too, can you lift them up?"

The emperor huffed in annoyance, seems like his digimon lost the other intruders. Oh well it, was time to deal with the other humans and digimon anyways. "Monochromon, deal with these with these rebels."

"Veemon I've heard of him, but I thought he was just a legend." Agumon informed.

"Nope, I'm real." Veemon said as he get off of Davis, "You know a good thing about being asleep, you don't know how long you've been asleep-" Veemon stopped himself, as he and the other digimon felt the earth shaking.

"Is something wrong?" Davis' question was answered as a centrosaurus digimon break the walls of the cave. Many of the digimon who sitting near the cave was pushed out of the way by the digimon. Monochromon did not stop his rampage as he was heading to Terriermon's direction.

"Get out the way!" Tai yelled as grabbed the rabbit digimon just barely avoided the attack. "Everyone get out now!" The digimon made their escape out of the cave, some of the bigger ones carried the severely injured.

Kari was running along Gatomon till she trip over a root. "Kari!" Gatomon said as tried to get Kari to get up. The children stopped to see what was the problem.

"I can't get up, I've twisted my ankle." Kari stated.

Veemon grabbed Davis' sleeve, "Davis say digiarmour energize, and I'll be able to stop Monochromon!"

Davis, though having the digi egg of courage, was stunned by the situation he was in. "Davis you do what he says!" Tai shouted.

Looking at the digivice in his hand, Davis held out his digivice, "digiarmour energize!"

"Veemon armor digivolve to… Flamedramon then flames of courage!" What was once stood a small dragon digimon, now stood a bigger digimon wearing red armor with flames designs.

Davis looked to Flamedramon, "Woah, what happen to you?"

"I am Flamedramon. As Veemon, I used the digiegg of courage to armour digivolve." Flamedramon answered. "My 'Fire Rocket' attack will charbroil the enemy like a well-done steak!"

The Digimon Emperor was confused by this new type of evolution. "Armour Digivolve? Against the power of my dark digivice, they shouldn't be able to Digivolve at all! Hmm...they're more resourceful than I thought."

Cody and Yolei looked to the eggs on the pedestals, not sure if they should lift them. Though maybe something good can finally came out of this world. Yolei thought as she the egg as Cody lift the other. A bright beam of light shot out of the holes the eggs were on.

A hawk like digimon came out of the hole the digi-egg of love was on. "Oh awake at last! It's about time I stretch my feathers," he said. "I am Hawkmon. Please to make your acquaintances."

An armadillo like digimon came out of the hole the digi-egg of knowledge was on. "Howdy," He greeted. "I'm Armadillomon, now why did you have to wake me up? I was having a nice dream."

Cody stepped back as the digimon landed on the floor, "oh I'm sorry."

"Oh it's no big deal, I can always take another nap later."

"So then, Yolei I sense there is a problem that must be solve. You and I shall be working together as a team to solve that problem!" Hawkmon said to the helmet wearing girl.

Yolie backed up, how did this guy know my name? And was he talking about Takato? "What? I don't fight? Except with my sister over who gets the last cookie!

Hawkmon gawked at the response. "Are you saying you refuse to fight? Humph! Why do I get the defective human?" He ranted as he crossed his wings.

Sora smiled to the girl, "Yolie?"

"What is it Sora?"

"I have this friend. Her name is Mimi, and she's a lot like you. She said she didn't want to fight anymore, either, even though she knew she had to. She did it for the digital world, and us. Yolei, the more you do to help your digimon, the closer you two will become! And that's a friendship you'll carry with you for the rest of your life." Yolei looked down at her digivice, "and you've got another friend for life. Me." Yolei smiled at Sora now fully finding the courage.

Izzy looked to Cody, and he notice that the kid was uncertain about something. "So tell me, what do you think of the digital world so far, Cody?" He asked.

"I don't know. After all, I've only been here for a short time."

"But you must have some sort of opinion."

"Well, I try not to judge things until I have all the information, but this place is so new to me, and I have so many unanswered questions, I don't know where to start first."

"Sounds like someone I know. Always wanting to get all the facts." Izzy smiled, "do just what I did, learn to trust your instincts. And if there's a problem you can't solve, just come to me, and we can solve it together."

Cody looked up at the older boy and smiled. "Okay."

Monochromon roared at Flamedramon, as he charged for an attack. Though not expecting the strength of the armour digimon, Flamedramon flipped the centrosaurus digimon backwards like a sack of potatoes. Flamedramon then charged at Monochromon as said digimon yelled his attack. "Volcanic Strike!" Monochromon spit burning fireballs at flamedramon, but it was ineffective as Flamedramon punched them out of his way.

The centrosaurus digimon then gotten up and Flamedramon was close enough, he flipped the armour digimon up in the air. Shoutmon notice this was an opportunity, "Flamedramon aim for the ring!"

While still in the air, Flamedramon saw the dark ring wrapped around Monochromon body, and aimed for it. "Fire Rocket!" The attack made an impact and the ring was successfully destroy as bits of it disappeared into thin air. Monochromon finally free.

The Terriermon who was still in Tai's arms, pulled on the boy's sleeve. "Excuse me?"

"Uh?"

"You can let go of me now. I want to stand now."

"But your still hurt."

"Momentai, I've been through worse." Leaping out of Tai's arms, the canine digimon. "Besides everything turned out alright."

"Alright is putting it lightly," Matt said. "I just got a message from Izzy, and he told me that he and Sora met three new digidestined, and one of them gone missing."

"Well let's go and save them!" Davis yelled, "I'm sure we can handle it. Right Veemon?"

"Right!" Veemon followed as he put his fist in the air.

"Wait we don't even know where they are." TK countered, "we can't just go off wondering places that take hours for us to find."

"Well what do you suggest TP?" Davis asked. "Do you have any idea where to find them?"

"Why don't you use your digivices to gain the map of the Digiworld?" Shoutmon asked. "That how Mikey did it."

"Whose Mikey?" Tai asked, that name sounds familiar.

"Mikey's my general, he helped me be the Digimon King."

"Is Mikey a digimon?" Veemon asked.

Shoutmon looked to the smaller, blue digimon, "is there a 'mon' at the end?"

"Our digivices don't work like that." Matt said, interrupting the digimon. "We can find the others that have similar digivices like ours." Holding out a small blue light device. "But the kid who was kidnapped had a completely different digivice."

"We should go to Izzy, he was the last one to be with this missing kid." Tai suggested. "Maybe whoever kidnapped him, left some clues for us to follow."

"You guys go and do that." Shoutmon said. "Being the Digimon King, I must make sure my subjects are taken care of." Shoutmon decided to ran off to find the rest of the wounded digimon, "good luck on finding your friends."

Terriermon then followed Shoutmon, "I'm going too. I need to find my group and know where they ran off too."

"Good luck you two!" Kari said wavering to the two digimon.

Izzy looked to the hole to where Takato was last seen, "Takato and that digimon fell into this hole. At least I think he fell."

"Are you saying he was dragged into it?" Yolie asked.

Armadillomon stepped near the hole, and noted it at digged. "Seems like a big digimon made this tunnel right under where your friends were." Looking to his partner. "Cody can you say Digiarmor Energize while holding your digivice? Maybe I can find where this tunnel leads."

"Um ok." Cody then proceeded to do what his partner told him. "Digiarmor Energize!"

"Armadillomon armor digivolve to… Digmon! The drill of knowledge!"

From a small armadillo like digimon to a large insectoid digimon. "Digmon?"

"I am an armour digimon. As Armadillomon, I use the Digiegg of Knowledge to armour digivolve." Digmon explained. "Now then let's go find your missing friends." Digmon jumped into the hole and start using his drill like claws to find the tunnel that was cut off.

"Hey wait for us." Sora said as she and the rest of the crew ran after Digmon. Izzy decided to use his phone to send a message to Tai and the others, telling them to use there digivice to tracked him and Sora.

Tai's phone then started to buzz, he read the message Izzy sent. "Izzy said they're going to use the hole to see where this Takato kid was taken." Looking to Matt, "he also said to use our digivice to keep track of him and Sora."

"You don't think the Digimon Emperor got the missing kid?" Gabumon asked. "What if he decided to make him a slave?"

"If he did, then he's going to answer to us." Davis said with determination.

"Wow Davis you seem more courageous now after Veemon fought Monochromon." Kari said. "I'm happy for you."

Davis then blushed, "oh uh really? Because I can be more courageous if you like."

"Hey Tai, I think Davis likes Kari." TK whispered to the older kid.

"Yeah I notice. Honestly if that were the case, I would be fine with it." Folding his arms behinds his head.

"Is it because he looks like you Tai?" Agumon asked. "You know cause he got the goggles."

"No, of course not." Tai countered, "it just Davis' a good kid. I can trust him."

"You sure it's not because he looks like you?" Matt smirked to their leader.

"Stop that now."

Takato groaned as wakes up, opening his eyes to what looks like to be a cavern. He was also tied up to a side of the cliff. "What the, where am I?"

"You're just hanging around."

Takato heard a voice, he looked up to see a kid around his age wearing a weird outfit. "Uh, thanks? Who are you?"

"I'm your worst nightmare come to life. I am the Digimon Emperor." The introduce himself.

Takato got a better look at him now, and notice how the he was wearing a suit and shoulder blades with a cape that split in half with . The emperor looked around to be Takato's age with darker hair. Finally, he was also wearing purple shades covering the boy's eyes. "Never heard of you." Takato said bluntly.

"No matter, you and that digimon will be an example anyways."

"What do you mean?" Takato's question was answered as he saw his partner, Guilmon coming out of a hole on the other cliff. He looks to be cuffed just like Takato. "Guilmon!"

Guilmon woken up from his sleep, to see Takato right in front of him. "Takatomon!"

"Let him go! He hasn't done anything wrong!"

"Really? Because last time I check your two and the others were interfering me when I taking over areas in the Digiworld."

Takato looked confused at the emperor, "taking over? But you're just a kid like me."

"I'm nothing like you!" The Emperor yelled at Takato. "I'm the one hanging off the cliff just like you."

"What do you want with us? We didn't do anything bad!"

"You have invaded one of my areas, and so have others. I want to set you as an example, to warn other players to stay out of my territories." The Emperor then reach into his pocket to reveal Takato's digivice. "And don't think you'll get away that easily."

"Hey that's mine!"

"Not anymore. Now watch as your pet will become mine as well." Said the Emperor as he took a dark ring.

Digmon followed where the tunnel ends with rocks blocking it's exit. "This is the place." Digmon makes an entrance with his drills, as the rocks fall to the other side, they were in some sort of canyon. "Looks empty."

"Guilmon!"

Looking to where that shout came from, they saw three figures on the far side of the canyon. Two of the individuals were hanging on the side of the cave. "Nevermind"

"There's Takato and that digimon!" Cody said. "They're in danger."

"Yolie, help me armor digivovle like Cody." Hawkmon said.

Yolie looked to her partner and a look of determination formed on her face. "Right, Digiarmor Energize!"

"Hawkmon armor digivolve to… Halsemon! The Wings of Love." What once stood a stuffy hawk like digimon, now stand a mighty griffon. Aiming for the ring that was going for the red dinosaur digimon, Halsemon yelled out his attack. "Tempest Wing!"

The dark ring was blasted to pieces. Furious, the Digimon Emperor looked to where the attack came from. "Who did that?!'

"I am Halsemon. I, too, am an armour digimon. As Hawkmon, I use the Digiegg of Love to armour digivolve. I use my tempest wing attack to defeat my enemies."

Yolie looked to Takato, "Takato! Hold on We're coming."

"Get Guilmon first!"

The Emperor grew furious, he shouted commands for his slaves to come. "Mojyamon! Snimon! Drimogemon!" Three digimon then stand between the digidestined and the Emperor's hostages. "Let's see what your armour digimon can do against my slaves. Attack!"

"Twin Sickles!"

"Screw Claw!"

"Bone Strike!"

The digidestined and their partners dodge the attacks, for the humans though, it just barely.

Digmon using the Halsemon's attack as a distraction, has drilled a hole behind Guilmon, "sorry to burst in like this."

"You could've knock." Guilmon replied.

The Emperor grunted, he gripped on the stolen digivice, but something have hit his hand knock the digivice out of his grip. The digivice fell to the canyon, Ken turn to see who attack him. He saw Gatomon landed a couple of feet away from him. "This litter box ain't big enough for the both of us." She said as the makes a fighting stance.

Sora looked at where the Emperor was, and notice the cat like digimon. "Is that Gatomon?"

Izzy looked to the same direction. "It is, that means the others might be close by."

He saw the rest of his group and Davis with them running towards Gatomon and the Emperor. "There they are."

The Emperor gritted his teeth, he was outnumbered, "I agree." The only way out is up. He leaped into the air for an Airdramon to catch. The other kids stopped at surprise at how high he jumped on the Airdramon. "You digidestined may have won the battle, but the war is far from over." With that said, the Emperor and Airdramon flies away from the canyon.

"Didi you see how high he jumped," Davis gaped, "I never seen anyone jump that high before."

"Oh please, I do that sort of thing everyday." Gatomon huffed in annoyance.

Meanwhile in the battlefield, when the digivice fell, Yolie caught it while riding on Halsemon. She went to Takato as Halsemon destroy the rings that chain him to the cliff. When Takato got on Halsemon, Yolie gave his digivice to him, "here you go."

"Thanks."

"Better hold on tight. Now Halsemon, let's show them what armour digimon can do against the slaves of the Emperor!"

Davis heard Yolie's shout and looked to his partner, "Veemon you ready to armor digivolve again?"

"You bet Davis!"

"Digi-armor energize!"
"Veemon armor-digivolve to… Flamedramon: The fire of courage!" Flamedramon jumped down and faced Mojyamon.

"Ice cloud!" the abominable digimon throw two large shards of ice towards Flamedramon.

"When it's fire against ice, fire always wins. Fire rocket!" Flamedramon burned down the ice, and disintegrate the dark ring.

"Yeah! You destroyed the dark ring, Flamedramon!" Davis cheered.

Snimon yelled his attack to which Halsemon doged them while Yolie and Takato hold on tightly, "time for tempest wing!" He destroy the ring that was on Snimon's waist.

"You did it, Halsemon!"

Underground Drimogemon and Digmon were battling out, Digmon then got a clear shot at the ring on mole's arm. "Gold Rush!" He drilled the ring, breaking it into pieces. "There ya go, all free." He said to the confused Drimogemon.

The Emperor retreated back to his base, "They're better than I thought. This makes things a lot more interesting." He said as he took his seat, "I should tell the others about these new players. Oh well, I'll do it tomorrow."

"Sorry we had to fight you, but we had to get rid of the dark rings. I hope we're still buds!" Veemon said to the three ex-slave digimon.

"It's okay. Thank you for saving us." Mojyamon replied as he and the others walked away from the digidestined and their partners. All the while complaining what it was like to be the Emperor's slave.

"Guilmon!" Takato yelled hugging his red dino friend tightly, "that was a close one."
"Takatmon, your squishing me."

Takato release him from his grip. "Oh sorry."

"I knew you'll keep your promise Takatomon. I knew it by just smelling your scent."

"You got the tape right?"

"Yeah, I got hit in the head with it." Guilmon said, smiling and rubbing his read after the tape left the impact. "But then we lost it."

Takato laughed, but then he heard Davis say. "Digimon Emperor! He makes me so mad! I'll show him who's in charge around here!" Takato then looked to Yolie and Cody who were getting along with their digimon. He smiled, "Well Guilmon I guess we enter a new adventure." Hopefully Mom will handle this well.
