The Crests.
By Steve Jester
Disclaimers, notes and bullshit: I've got another fic using Carter Tachikawa's characters, so most, not all, of the kids are her's. The one kid that is not her's is Steve, because that is mostly me with a few changes. Mmmmmmm… did I forget something? Yea, I don't own digimon! Duh! The teachers mentioned are teachers at my school. One thing I'm going over the characters, a couple of changes, mainly age, to free up my creativity.

WAY TOO LONG! On with the story.
The digidestened were lounging in the family room of the new house that they all bought, although TK designed it, at least those that were there. They were living in the middle of nowhere New York, actually a quiet town known as Phoenix, and three of the kids were in detention. Eli, Zack, and Steve had goofed off in English class and Mrs. Mastine gave them detention, which in middle school was basically sit and do your work until 3:05 the bad part, it was 2:30, and they were supposed to be at wrestling practice with Izzy and Micah, who just barely escaped the same fate with Sr. Tenillgla, the Spanish teacher. Coach Roderick is going to kill me! thought Steve. Whereas Maya, Kimi, and Mika were at basketball practice, Adrian and Cloud, being in high school were starting track that day, high school sports start early, and Joey and Kyla were still in school, they were in their last year of elementary school and their school day hasn't ended yet. Actually we see only TK, Kari, Davis and Willis in the room. We join them when the phone rings, and TK is talking to Sora who is trying to get a job at the middle school, "That's fantastic Sora! ... What? ... WHAT?!" by now Kari was looking at TK strangely, "ELI IS IN DETENTION!!! ... Right I'll tell them. ... We'll see you at dinner." TK hung up the phone.
"What's going on TK?" asked Kari with a felling that she wasn't going to like what she is going to hear.
"Eli, Steve, and Zack are in detention. Although Sora did get her job and starts Monday." TK was about ready to go kill his son for that but knew better.
"We can get around that, but what Willis said earlier is what I want to talk to you guys about." What you need to know is that they were talking about the crests and how they got them, "We got our crests around the same age as our kids are now, with exception of you and me," pointing to TK, "as we got our crests when we were eight," said Kari.
"Do you think it's time for them to gather their crests?" said TK
"Guys, four times I've tried that with Steve in the past three years, he has not even come close!" said Willis, "Although he always went alone, so maybe with his friends we might see results."
We now join Izzy and Micah who are starting wrestling practice, "Coach," said Izzy
"Yea," said Coach Roderick.
"Steve, Zack, and Eli are going to be late," said Izzy as their coach acknowledges what he said and goes up to the wrestling room Micah's digivice goes off.
"Shit, if it's Kimi again she has got to stop!"
"Dude answer it, no-one's here."
"Fine!" he searches his gym bag and finds his digivice, "Micah, who's this."
"Micah, this is Joey"
"Joey what's going on?"
"Eli's digivice is still off and I need to talk to him."
"Joey, Eli's in detention, possibly that is the reason his digivice is off. One thing, why are you calling now?"
"School is getting out early."
Micah goes red with anger, "Well call your mom then," he get off his digivice, "Damn!"
"Micah..."
But as Izzy opened his mouth to say another word the loudspeaker goes off saying, "Will Izzy Izumi Jr., Eli Takaishi, Zack Kamiya, Steve Jester, Micah and Cloud Ichijouji, and Adrian Kido report to the main office please."
"Shit!!!" said Izzy, at last.
We go to the elementary school where Joey and Kyla are already in the office, "The one thing Micah doesn't know is that mom is the one who wanted us to get out early," said Joey to Kyla.
"Aunt Kari's looking worried, do you know what is going on?"
"No idea."
Also in the room is Kari who telling the secretary that she can pick up Joey and Kyla The kids are getting a treat with what we have planed, thought Kari, although Eli, Zack, and Steve are going to regret they got a detention when they're done with this.
"This is not going to be good!" said Adrian, they were outside and barely heard the announcement.
"Yea, well why call the runts?"
"That I don't know."
They finally get to the office where only see Izzy and Micah, "Where's the others?" asked Cloud, not at all pleased, they also see Davis, "Hello Mr. Motamya."
"They got detention," answered Izzy.
"Great!!!" Cloud said sarcastically.
At the middle school the announcement was, "Will Maya and Kimi Izumi, and Mika Ichijouji report to the main office please."
Whereas Steve didn't like that. "Mrs. Mastine, may I use the restroom?"
"If it's an emergency, yes."
Steve didn't need a second time he ran to the bathroom and pulled out his digivice, "Dad," he told his digivice to look for.
In the office were Willis was signing for the girls his digivice goes off, "Excuse me, I must have forgot to turn off my beeper." He went to a quiet place and turned on his digivice, "Willis here who's this?"
"Your son, listen Maya, Kimi, and Mika got called down to the office and I'm in detention."
"Uhhhhhhhh... whoops! I'll get you three out of there. Latter"
Steve goes back to the class room and then this announcement is put on the loudspeaker, "Will Steve Jester, Eli Takaishi, and Zack Kamiya please report to the main office."
After they got out of the class room Eli said, "Yea, we get out of a detention!" Eli took his backpack out of his locker, "Wonder why though?"
"We'll find out won't we, but watch it or we might get double come Monday," said Zack.
"Mr. Jester, what's this for?" asked Maya.
"You'll see."
"Maya, this is big if they're gathering us from practice," said Kimi.
"Yea, but wasn't Steve, Zack, and Eli supposed to be at their practice?" said Mika.
"Remember they got detention," said Maya.
Just then Steve, Zack, and Eli came in. "Uhhhhhhhhhh... need sleep," said Steve.
"Steve, you won't get a lot of sleep where your going, or maybe you will you never know," said Willis.
We go back to the house and with the exception of the kids from the middle school and Willis everyone was there. They even got Tai out of the evening news run-through for this. They were going to send the kids out, without the adults, to the digiworld; though the kids didn't know this. They were going to try to get their crests. Willis and his little crew came into the house. "Shall we tell them now?" asked Willis to Kari.
"Ok kids! We want to tell you something. You will remember that the adults, when we were kids we received crests representing our strongest traits, some of us received digieggs instead of crests," said Kari, "We are giving you some gear and then you are going to the digiworld. You will not be alone, you will have each other and the digimon."
"Eli and Joey step forward," said TK, "You two will have these," he handed his sons loaded backpacks, Eli's had embroidered the crest of friendship and Joey's had the crest of hope, "in them is a laptop and some rations. Eli, you will be looking for the crest of friendship, Joey, you will look for the crest and digiegg of hope."
Ken, Yolei, Joe, and Sam walk to the table with the backpacks, "Adrian, Cloud, up here," said Joe, He handed them their backpacks, Adrian, the crest of reliability, Cloud, the crest of kindness, "You two will be in charge, Cloud you will have the emergency equipment and both of you have first aid kits, as well as the basics that everyone has. Cloud you will look for the crest of kindness; Adrian you will look for the crest of reliability."
Willis steps up, so does Steve, knowing what is going to take place, "Steve, look for the crest of destiny." Steve takes his backpack and sits down.
Izzy and Mimi step up, and hand their kids their backpacks, "Izzy look for the crest of knowledge, Maya look for the crest of love, and Kimi look for the crest of sincerity," said Izzy
Tai and Sora step up and hand Zack his pack, "Zack remember the crest of courage," said Tai, "remember it well."
Matt steps up, "Kyla stay close to your cousin, and look for the crest and digiegg of light. That was Aunt Kari's crest."
"I will," she said taking her backpack.
Ken and Yolei step up and Yolei says, "Don't think we forgot you two," referring to Micah and Mika, "Mika look for the digieggs of love and sincerity, Micah look for the digieggs of knowledge and reliability. The reason is that Cody and I didn't get crests, we got digieggs."
Kari steps up again, "You will be able to contact us via your digivices. You have 1 months rations, use them wisely. Anything else?" she looks at the rest of the adults who shake their heads, "All right then. Digiport open!" turning towards the computer. The kids went to the digiworld.
That's chapter 1. So what do you think? R/R please!!!! If I spelt Davis' name wrong sorry.
