Prologue

I can't believe it's been four years since our last adventure. Four years ago we defeated MaloMyotismon. Four years ago the Digimon became a permanent part of our world. And now here we are again about to go on another adventure. But I'm getting ahead of myself, my name is T.K. Takaishi and I'm a 16 year old junior at Odaiba High School. I'm also part of the original group of people who first learned about the Digimon called The Digidestined. There were 8 of us originally: my brother, Matt Ishida, my best friend, Kari Kamiya, her brother, Tai, then there was Sora Takenouchi, Mimi Tachikawa, Izzy Izumi, and Joe Kido. We defeated Digimon like Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon, The Dark Masters, Apocalymon and many others in order to save the digital world and our own. 4 years later, our two worlds were in danger again and Kari and I were called on once again to defend them; we were joined by Davis Motomiya, Yolei Inoue, and Cody Hida. We defeated the Digimon Emperor who turned out to be our future friend Ken Ichijouji. Together, along with the other Digidestined from around the world, we defeated MaloMyotismon and brought our two worlds together. We've grown up a lot since then:

Matt is still playing music; after he graduated he was able to dedicate more time to it. He's gotten a steady fan base enough to keep his band alive; he had a hit a year after MaloMyotismon was defeated and he went on tour and everything, but since then nothing as big. He hasn't started college or shown any interest in going. My dad says he's been thinking about joining the military. I hope he's not just trying to get away from Sora

Sora is studying fashion design at Odaiba University and plays on the tennis team. My brother and her broke up two years ago. Most people would think that she couldn't stand the fan girls, but I know it had more to do with the fact that he didn't want to give up the music, and as much as I hate to admit it, I know something happened when he went on tour. She seems happier, but at the same time still distracted.

Tai got a scholarship to play for the University Soccer team. He has also been studying Political Science. He still tries to act like the leader most of the time; I guess old habits die hard. We actually see each other a lot I guess because of Kari, but he still treats me like a kid. I thought he'd be happier but I know something is bothering him. He was there for my brother when Sora dumped him, but they had a big argument two weeks ago about I don't know what.

Izzy, well if you knew him you wouldn't be surprised to know that not only did he graduate high school early but he got a full scholarship to Odaiba University to Study Computer Programming; shocker. Apparently he already has a job offer from the DWRG, the Digital World Research Group, he's hesitant on whether to take it or not.

Mimi realized how much she missed everyone and finally came back to Japan, at least for college; I don't think she's chosen a major yet though. I've heard Izzy has been tutoring her in her harder classes, and according to him she has become a really good cook.

Joe is working really hard to get into medical school this year, but we all know he's a shoe-in. I mean he's always been the one of us who is rarely around because of his studies and seeing him more often just clarifies that he's almost done, at least for a while. However, he seems lost again like when we were kids; I just wish he'd give himself a little slack.

Davis has surprisingly taken a lot more interest in his studies. From what he's told me, he's trying to keep his dream of opening his own noodle cart alive; personally, I think he's keeping himself distracted because he misses the adventures the most. He's almost gotten over his crush on Kari; well, almost.

Ken has really become part of the group now. He moved into my apartment complex and started dating Yolei right after the final battle. Even though he's not the person he was when he had the dark spores, he still does really well in school and is co-captain of the soccer team with Davis. He smiles a lot more now.

Yolei is preparing to graduate high school and go on to college with the older kids. However she is real emotional about leaving Ken in high school by himself. Ken tries to assure her that she shouldn't worry, but if you knew Yolei you'd know that's almost impossible.

Cody is finally with us in high school and I'm pretty sure he's going to end up skipping a grade if not two. He already knows that when he gets to college that he wants to study law and eventually go to law school. I wish I was as sure as him about what I want to do.

I think Kari is the happiest out of everyone. Her dream has always been for the two worlds to be united and now that's it has come to pass she feels there's no need to worry anymore; the fact that Davis doesn't hit on her as much anymore helps too. She says she wants to be a teacher someday, why anyone would want to go to school just to end up working at a school is beyond me, but that's Kari for you.

That just leaves me. Well, ever since we defeated MaloMyotismon I've only had one thing on my mind, Kari. Let's face it I've been crazy about her since we were 8. I can't imagine my life without her. While we were Digidestined, I kept my feelings hidden because I felt that what we were doing was too important and needed all our attention. Also, after what happened between my Brother and Sora I didn't want to risk our friendship. However, lately it's been getting harder to hide how I feel. It's not like she has a boyfriend or anything, but I can't stand it when guys hit on her. My friends on the basketball team always tease me saying she's my girlfriend and most of the times I wish it were true. I was never sure how she felt about me though.

Little did I know that we were about to go on an adventure, our last real adventure, that would finally shed the light on all our lives.
