A/n Well, this is my first attempt at writing a fanfic, so this may or may not be as good as I hope it will be.

"Dialogue"

In a bustling city, no one notices the few who disappear. But all notice those who fade away in a tragedy…

In the darkness, a body awakens. The boy looks around at the monotonous dark surrounding I…. Dreaming? He tries to stand, only to fall back down with a gasp of pain. He looks down at his broken body. Am I dead?

"Yes." The boy looks around, and there, striding out of the dark, came a creature the boy had never seen before. It looked like a large, white and grey canine that stood on it's hind legs. It wore golden bracelets on each wrist. But the most striking feature was it's rather large, white wings.

"W- who? Wha-what are you?" the boy stammers, pushing himself back with his one good hand.

Winged Canine: "That is not important right now. The question is: how did you get here?"

Boy: "I… I don't know! The last thing I remember was running to school, and… And then the sound of a truck horn….." he looks up at the dog-like creature "I…. I want to go home. Please, send me back. I don't want to die yet."

Winged Canine:They always say that…. "Listen, I cannot send you back, even if I wanted to. I don't even know how a human could end up here in the first place!" A gloomy atmosphere settles over the pair, broken only by the boy's gasps and whimpers of pain. Hmmmm, If he could end up here, then I may be able to…. Yes, that could work… The Canine looks down at the boy and nudges the un-damaged side of him. "Hey, Boy. There may be a loop-hole I can exploit to help you."

Boy: "Really."

Winged Canine: " Yes, but there is one condition: You have to work for me, and be my agent in the-"

Boy: "No, I will not give up my soul!"

Winged Canine: *Sighs* "That's just it. Being here, in the DigiWorld's limbo, so to speak, means that you have a digital code instead. I can manipulate that code to "Rebirth" you into the DigiWorld, were you will act as my agent." The dog tilts his head to the side. "You got that?"

Boy: "I think so?"

Winged Canine: "Good. The thing is, I have never done this to a human before, so it may not work."

Boy: "I'll risk it, to live again!"

Winged Canine: "But, you may lose your past memories, your human body, or even your personality. Knowing this, do you still want this?"

Boy: "….Yes. My body is broken, and I'd rather forget my past."

Winged Canine: "….Very well, then." Tendrils of dark matter started of form and swirl around the boy. Soon, he was completely encased in a sphere of the stuff. The last thing the boy heard before the pain caused him to black out was: "Don't forget, you work for me now."

** Meanwhile, in the real world**

Rika, Henry, Suzie, Kenta, Jeri, and Kazu all stood outside of Guilmon's old shack in the park. All but Henry were engrossed in the DigiBattle card game going on between Jeri and Kazu. Henry was standing to one side with Takato trying to wheedle information out of the Brown haired former-tamer.

Henry: "So, why did you call us all down here again? Other then to watch Jeri beat Kazu again."

Takato: "You'll see. It's a surprise."

Henry: "So what are you waiting for?"

Takato looks around and, after spotting a trio of people, points to them. "Oh, you know, Ryo and Ai and Mako."

Ryo leads Ai and Mako up to the rest of the former-tamers. "Hey, looks like everyone's already here."

Rika: "Took you long enough."

Ryo: "Yeah, most of it was convincing their Mom to let them come with me." He gestures to Ai and Mako.

Kazu, after losing his third straight match against Jeri: "So, ya gonna tell us why you called us all here now, Takato?"

Takato: "Yeah. You guys all remember that portal that we entered to get into the Digital World?" Everyone nods. "Well…" Takato smiles "It's back. I've already talked to my parents about it, and I'm going through. Anybody else who wants to come is welcome to, just meat me back here tomorrow after school with anything you might need."

Ai: "What about us?"

Mako: "Yeah, we've never been to the digiworld, yet."

Ryo: "Don't worry, you'll have us to look after you."

Ai: "Ummmm, Mom may not want us to go cuz she's to busy to take us here any more."

Henry: "I could probably get my Dad to give you two a ride, if it's okay with your Mom."

Takato: "That settles it then, tomorrow, we go back to the digiworld!"

** Some time later, in Limbo**

The Sphere of energy slowly starts to dissipate, revealing a creature in the place of were the boy used to lie. The Winged Canine walks over to examine his work. The creature looked vaguely reptilian, with a rag tag collection of spines running down is back. All other features were hidden by an overly large sized straight jacket. "Boy, can you hear me?" The creature opens it's eyes. "Can you understand me?" The creature nods. "Good. Now, to matters at hand. Do you remember D-Reaper's attack on the Humans world?" Again, the creature nods. " That thing also attacked the digiworld, deleting many digimon in the process. All digimon must pass through my realm in order to be ether reborn, or sent to the Dark Area. However, many of them didn't want to go quietly and escaped back into the digiworld. What I want you to do is simple: find and re-delete those who escaped."

Creature: "Wh-wh-why d-d-don't you, you w-w-wait for th-th-"

Winged Canine: "Because, being already deleted, they cannot be deleted by anything that does not come from Limbo in the first place. The only thing preventing me from going after them myself is that I have to stay here to judge any other deleted digimon who come through here. That's where you come in."

Creature: "H-how do I find them?"

Winged Canine: "You will be drawn towards them, and see a dark aura around them when you do find them. Do you understand your task, boy?"

Creature: "M-my name isn't boy, it's Psymon."

**The next day, in the real world**

As the sun started it's decent towards the horizon, all the former tamers prepared to enter the digital world again. All save Takato, who had yet to show up.

Rika: "Oh, where is he?"

Kenta: "I'm sure he has a reason for being late."

Kazu: "Yeah, he's been late for almost every important event this month, why should he brake is track record!"

Henry: * Points* "Looks like that's him, there." Everyone turns to look to where Henry was pointing to, and, sure enough, there's Takato, running hard and almost out of breath.

Takato: "Sorry I'm *Pant* late. Just had to *Pant* pick up this *Pant* from Yamaki *Wheeze*!" He holds up the device Yamaki gave to the tamers when they first entered the digital world. After Takato got his breath back, the tamers all started to divvy up the food Takato brought from the bakery his parents owned.

Henry: "You do know that we don't need al of this food, right?"

Takato: "Yeah, but I'm sure Guilmon would like to stuff his face with Guilmon bread again!" *Chuckles*

Rika: "Can we go now?"

Ryo: "Can't wait to see Renamon again, Rika?"

Rika: *Glares* "Let's just go…"

As the Tamers start to file into the tunnel leading to the portal, Takato notices that, although she may be trying to hide it, Jeri still hasn't completely gotten over Leomon's death. But he couldn't dwell on it for long, as they were soon going through the Portal, hopefully to find they're lost partners….

A/n Well, That's it for the Prologue. Looking forward to your reviews, after I get more sleep.
