This story takes place during or recently after the end of season 02. I grant you that this story is a little oddly constructed,
but well worth reading. I hope you like it.

A/N: This story is a little different in style than I usually write however it will make more sense later. I'm hoping to make it
into a number of parts. This story was not going to be released for a while, but I'm working on a few write now after being
on a break and I thought it would be good to post this one now. For people who remember my story Preminition, I will
be finally finishing it soon so I haven't forgotten about it. Please R/R.
It's was another day at Odaiba Middle School for the five Digi-Destined kids who attended it. Davis, Yolei, Kari,
T.K., and Cody all went to their classes as usual and enjoyed them as thoroughly as a root canal. After the normal school
day had ended all five went to the computer room and met up with Ken, who had just arrived to join them, and the other
Digi-Destined (Tai, Sora, Matt, Izzy, Joe, and Mimi who had just flown in from America).
"Are we missing anybody?" asked Cody.
"I doubt it and even if we were I don't think anyone else could fit in here." Yolei replied.
"Let's stop stalling already. If we're going to make sure the Digital World is safe once and for all we'd better get a
move on." Davis impatiently reminding the others of their task.
"For once I agree with Davis. If we're going to do this we should do it now." T.K. agreed.
"If everybody's ready, Digi-Port open!!!" Kari exclaimed.
Then the big flashes of light and beeps went on as normal, but they weren't going through the computer screen as they
normally do. Once everything had stopped, Izzy did a little investigating with the computer as well as one of the D3's yet
came up empty. "Alright everybody that was probably just a fluke so let's try that again."
"Digi-Port open!!!" Davis yelled out
This time something unexpected happened. A light came through the computer and hit a space of air behind the Digi-
Destined and a crack of light formed. All the Digi-Destined were quite puzzled at this phenomenon (and Izzy was
undoubtedly speculating what it was with a million or so possibilities), however it became even more curious when a figure
ran through it. This person was wearing a black shirt with blue jeans and black boots (he seemed to be in his late
twenties). He had a distinct look of confusion, he ceased hesitating and resumed his course of running when another figure
ran through this rip in space. This new person was wearing a black leather trench-coat and a black pair of jeans with the
same pair of black boots (he seemed to be only two or three years older than the new Digi-Destined or about the same
age as the original ones). He was very focused on his task which was running after this first person who ran through the rift
and didn't even take time to notice where he was like the first man did. Understandably the Digi-Destined were unable to
understand a single thing that had just occured, but followed the two who were now in a hallway of the school.
"Hold it right there Krell you're coming with me." the second person said.
"Not a chance Darrian. You couldn't stop me then and I'm not about to let you now." replied the first person that we now
know as Krell.
"You leave me no other alternatives." Darrian replied with determination. Darian quickly aimed his arm up at the ceiling
above Krell and launched a type of grappling hook that securely fastened and he went into a sort of flying jump that took
him right in front of Krell. "I can't let him hurt anyone else, and endanger others by being in a populated area." Darrian
thought. Darrian was standing right in front of Krell and stopped him in his tracks.
"Let's end this here and now." Krell said.
"Agreed." Darrian then started going in a circle and Krell followed suit. Both were ready to pounce on each other. The
Digi-Destined had no idea of what was going on, but decided not to interfere and watched on as this mad wait for the two
men to decimate the other. And in an instant Krell and Darrian started their fight in a rapid motion that the Digi-Destined
could barely see what the two were doing or for that matter who was winning, it was a blur of movements. Then out of the
chaos Krell went flying into a row of lockers. "You're going back to face justice Krell, whether you like it or not I'm
stopping you here and now." Darrian triumphantly stated. Then he noticed the twelve kids looking at him when he realized
that they all had Digivices of some sort and he turned to Krell. "So this is why you came here. If you destroyed them then
you'd alter history and be free to finish what you started without interference. Well you failed and I'm personally going to
make sure that you never get this opportunity ever again."
With the baffling events that had just occurred, the Digi-Destined had a lot of questions for Darrian (Izzy was extremely
interested since all that had just passed defied a lot of his scientific theories). Darrian had restrained Krell and decided that
it would be better to introduce himself rather than continue with this confusing course of events. "Well I think I should
introduce myself. Hello Digi-Destined, my name is Darrian."
"Um… Hi my name is Tai. If you don't mind my asking, how do you know we're the Digi-Destined?"
"Ah. That's an easy question. I can tell that you're Digi-Destined because you have those Digivices."
"Well that brings up another question. How do you know what Digivices are?" Izzy asked with great curiosity and intrigue
"Ah. That's an easy question as well." Darrian then opened the left side of his jacket revealing two separate items. The
first of which looked like a handle of a sword of some sort. It was attached to a holster type compartment on his belt, the
shape was oval and it flattened out into a more rectangular shape as it went further down, however the handle ended
before any visible blade part could be seen. The second item was quite different in that it wasn't the same shape or
anything else that resembled something similar to the first item. The second item was positioned a little bit closer to the
center of his belt. It had a circular shape in it's center and two rectangular shapes jutting out of it's left and right sides,
which curved up on the right side and down on the left side into sharp pointed ends. Darrian reached for the second item
and pulled it out to show the Digi-Destined. "This is my digivice and it has a slight resemblance to your digivices."
"Fascinating." Izzy responded
"I take it you're not from around here." Sora said
"That's one way of putting it. Could you tell me the date by any chance?" Darrian replied
"Sure, it's Thursday." Davis answered
"Um... what about the month, day, and more importantly the year?" Darrian asked
"Well let's see... it's June 3rd 2001." Joe replied
"I went back twelve hundred and forty seven years." Darrian muttered making it unheard by the Digi-Destined. Darrian
took Krell back to the computer room as he walked with the Digi-Destined and started to contemplate the situation that
was created and how and more importantly if he should explain it to the twelve Digi-Destined. Well Darrian figured that it
would be better if he did explain everything rather than keep them in the dark, but how he was going to do this was easier
said than done. Once the Digi-Destined had finished their introductions, which were quite unnecessary yet unbeknownst to
them Darrian had already known their identities by his first glance towards them, Darrian realized that he'd have to tell
them now of his situation. However that was not the only secret unbeknownst, but this time Darrian was the one in the
dark, all of the girls seemed to have a crush on him and were in a trance-like dream state when they looked at his
handsome physique with the matching intelligence behind it.
"I guess this is as good a time as any to tell you why I'm here. Well it all started… actually it has yet to start. This
guy over here is named Krell and he is a dangerous criminal from where I come from."
Just then Darrian was cut off by T.K., "Where do you come from? If you don't mind my asking."
"I was just going to tell you that. I'm not from a where, but rather a when." The Digi-Destined were puzzled once
again from this response, and Darrian could tell that elaboration of his statement would be required in order for them to
understand. "Well you see I'm from the future, more specifically the year 3248. The break in space that you saw was a
temporal rift that allows things to pass through into different times, past and future as well as places anywhere in time no
matter your place of departure. The technology is used mainly for transportational purposes within our own time since our
government declared that the intervention in a timeline, especially the past since it could change our future, was unethical in
every morally justifiable way. Krell doesn't care about the law and would do anything to gain power over the planet in our
time or any other time for that fact. I'm part of a special unit dedicated to stopping the tampering with the timeline and
that's why I followed him here." Darrian turned to face Krell. "Now I think it's about time for you to go back, and I'm
sure the authorities will be glad to see you. Digi-Vortex open!!!" Just after Darrian had gotten that command out the rip in
space re-opened and Darrian grabbed Krell and pushed him into the rift. "Now be sure to tell them I'll be right there to
escort you back to prison." Darrian sent Krell through the rift and a bright flash of light appeared. "What the…" Darrian
barely got those words out when a burst of light came through the rift and hit T.K.'s digivice and sucked him through the
rift.
"T.K.!!!" Kari yelled out
The rift was changing into a tornado-like shape and Darrian saw a lightning bolt type of thing heading towards the group.
"Everybody get down!!!" Darrian jumped in the way of the next bolt and covered the person that it was heading for, like a
human shield. Kari was in the trajectory and the one Darrian was protecting. The energy bolt hit him and he felt it like a
sharp knife cutting through him. Kari was protected yet she felt something dark go through her. Darrian fell down, being
that he was unconscious from the pain and Kari was a little dizzy. Thankfully the rift closed after Darrian and Kari had
been through their experience.
