Chapter 1:
In the city of Odaiba there was a school called Odaiba Elementary. Currently jogging down one of the school's many hallways, we see a boy with spiky brown hair wearing a pair of white aviator goggles with blue tinted lenses, a blue jacket with orange and red flames over a white T-shirt and brown shorts. Perched on the boy's shoulder was a small blue dragon that had a white abdomen and yellow markings.
The brunet, Davis, was in a hurry to the computer lab for a meeting with his friends. You see, Davis and several other children that lived in Odaiba are part of a group called the Digidestind, people who were partner with creatures called digimon to defend both the Human World and the Digital World from evil. The second generation of Digidestind all goes to the same school, Odaiba Elementary while the members of the first generation go to the high school beside it.
Davis finally makes it to the computer lab and was about to open the door when he heard a voice from the other side. "Argh, he's late again! Why is he always late!" complained a girl with long lavender hair wearing a pair of glasses, a pink vest over a pink dress and a blue bandana on her head.
Curious about what his teammates normally say about him when he is not around, Davis pressed his ear against the door. "He's probably at detention. He always comes to class late and when he's there, he'll fall asleep the moment the teacher opens his mouth" said a blond boy wearing a white Gilligan hat, a green and yellow T-shirt and green shorts.
Everyone in the computer lab laughed at the joke while Davis was clenching his fists. The reason he was normally late for class and would constantly sleep in class was because he had serious sleeping problems. "And have you seen how he tried to ask me out? He is pathetic" said a brunet girl wearing a pink and white sleeveless T-shirt, pink detachable pink sleeves that reach up to her elbows and yellow shorts.
This made Davis even angrier since he loved Kari but she treated his feelings like a joke. "What do you expected he's not very bright" said a boy with short brown hair wearing a purple T-shirt and light brown pants. Everyone laughed again and it caused the goggle boy to finally snap.
Davis grabbed the handle of the door and slide it open with such force, he almost dislodge it. But the brunet did not care about that as he glared at everyone in the room. He was surprise to see his two best friends Ken, who had short indigo hair and wearing a grey uniform, and Willis, a blond wearing a maroon shirt over a grey T-shirt and black shorts. "I can't believe you people! Do you really think I'm stupid and pathetic?!" the goggle boy yelled as a thin crimson aura started to form on his fist.
No one in the room answered, shocked by Davis' sudden appearance. This made so angry to the point he just could not control it and punched the wall next to him, causing a small dent and several cracks to form. The Digidestind and their digimons gasps, not only because of the damage done to the wall but when Davis turned back to them, his eyes flashed crimson instead of brown for a second before returning back to normal.
"To hell with all of you! I quit!" the brunet said as he takes off his goggles and throws it at his now former best friend and DNA partner. He then stormed out of the room with DemiVeemon still sitting on his shoulder.
Everyone stared at the retreating form of their former leader, too stunned to say or do anything. Suddenly Ken started to cry while Willis looked down in shame. Davis was the only one to forgive the former Digimon Emperor and helped him joined the Digidestind. As for Willis, when he was in trouble because a virus had turned Kokomon into Wendigomon and attacked him, it was Davis who helped him destroy the virus and save Kokomon. He was their best friend and yet they did not stick up for him, they instead joined everyone else and laughed at Davis.
Meanwhile, the brunet in question was still storming down the halls, looking like he was about to explode at any moment. As he was about to leave the school grounds, he bumped into Tai and his group that were heading to the meeting. The previous leader was about to greet his protégé until he notice the angered look on his face and decided not to say anything as he walks by.
Davis was walking down one of the streets that he normally took when going home. As he was walking, he looked at his hands. 'I got to relax. I nearly blow it back there. But those guys did deserved it' he thought, not really paying attention to what was in front of him while DemiVeemon was staring at him.
Suddenly Davis accidentally bumps into someone and they both fell to the ground. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention just now" the brunet said as he quickly gets up and extends his hand to the other person.
"It's okay, I wasn't fully paying attention either" said a girl with shoulder length red hair wearing a leather jacket over a black T-shirt that had a white skull on the front and jeans as she takes Davis' hand and gets up.
When the brunet looks at the red head's lavender eyes as she was dusting herself, they remind him of a certain someone from his past. "Hey, does your name happen to be Rika Nonaka?" Davis asks sincerely.
"Yeah it is. How did you know?" Rika asks, staring at the brunet in front of her. Her eyes widen when something in her head clicked. "No way… I can't believe I bumped into you! It's been three years!" the red head smiled.
"Yeah, what are the odds huh?" Davis said, rubbing the back of his head while giving a very awkward looking grin.
"You've been gone for so long and yet you still do that. You hadn't changed a bit" Rika smirked as the duo walked side by side to where the red head was initially going.
"Hey, I do change a bit! It's just that when I'm with you guys, it bring back old memories".
"Davis, who is this girl?" DemiVeemon asks sounding very confused.
"Hey, a DemiVeemon" the red head said as she picks up the little dragon and cradles him in her arms. "Where did you get him?".
"He was given to me actually. We're partners" Davis answer, pulling out his D-3 from his backpack.
"That looks different from the ones we used back then" Rika said examining the digivice.
"Yeah it does, but it's kind of a downgrade compared to our digivices" the brunet said as they rounded a corner.
"A downgrade huh? Oh well, you go with whatever the Sovereigns give you I guess" she shrugged, giving the device back to its owner.
"Well here's my stop" Rika said as they stood out a photography studio.
"A photography studio? I thought you hate photo-shoots?" Davis asks as he takes back DemiVeemon from his old friend.
"I do, but my mom wanted to make a special mother-daughter shoot so she asks me to come here" Rika explained.
"Oh… Well, good luck with the shoot and tell everyone back at Shinjuku that I said 'hi'" Davis said before turning around to head home.
When they arrived at the Motomiya apartment, Davis went straight to his room and opened his closet drawer before pulling out a small box. He sat down on his bed beside DemiVeemon while the little dragon stared at him suspiciously. "What's in the box?" he asks his partner.
"Memories DemiVeemon, memories" he simply said as he opens the box and pulls something out of it. Suddenly Davis' cellphone started ringing. He puts the box and the item onto the bed and picks up the phone. It was a text message that reads:
'Rika told me that you were living in Odaiba. Is it true?'.
Davis smiled, knowing full well who the texter was and wrote:
'Yep. You guys want to come over tomorrow?'.
'Of course! We would love to come and visit you!' was the reply.
'See you guys after school at the park near Odaiba Elementary'.
'See you too, Takato'.
Davis chuckled at the last message and closed his phone before tucking himself under a blanket and going to sleep with a smile, knowing that he will reunite with his friends tomorrow.
