Helllllloooooo! This is the sequal to "Trial and Error". For those who are stumbling across this story, feel free to read that first. However, you should be able to read this without it if you really wish too. I don't own Digimon, just Will, David, Adam, Lightmon and his other forms. All other Oc's belong to the respective writers on this site.
I also completely forgot to thank Rzen for reviewing "Trial and Error", it's good to know you're still here.
I understand this chapter is short, but it's just to break everyone into it. Plus I felt it was too long since I had written anything so this was fun for me. I hope you read,enjoy and review.
A cold mist engulfed everything, hiding things from plain sight. Metal groaned under the cold. Birds flew away, trying to escape the deadly mist. People shielded themselves, this cold wasn't natural. It was an unearthly chill. A grey sky surrounded the entire city. Nothing felt safe. Four figures stumbled into a small apartment. Almost as if they were the four horse men of the apocalypse. No one said anything. Skin unnaturally pale, eyes strangely narrowed. Black rings around the eyes. Lightning boomed behind them, giving them an unnatrual look.
"We must never speak of that road trip again." One of the figures said weakly. The others nodded in agreement. All four advanced into the small,messy apartment,one closing the door behind them. One stopped suddenly, all balance lost. Crashing to the floor, the young man made a sickening thump on the floor. Dropping the bags in random places, the remaining three crashed onto the empty sofas and chairs. The red headed boy took a seat near a large table before burying his head into his arms on the table.
"You alive over there Izzy?" One of the young men with a slight Irish accent asked. An inhuman sound escaped Izzy.
"That's a yes." Will couldn't help but smile. Izzy's hair was no longer just red. Pink highlights covered at least half of it. Will lay , chaotically spread out on a sofa,facing a tv. He couldn't help but think, Izzy got off easy.
"Is Tai Still breathing?" A young blond man asked, sitting in a chair across from Will. Matt shifted slightly. Half of his left eye brow was missing. The other half had been filled in with a green magic marker. A small black permant marker moustache trailed around his mouth, thanks to Tai. Both Will and Matt shifted to try to glance at Tai, laying face down on the floor.
"You alright Tai?" Will asked. No response came, as Will glanced at Matt. Matt pulled the cushion from behind him, throwing it at Tai's head. They both watched as it bounced off. A small gurgle escaped him. Both Will and Matt couldn't help but smile at Tai. The only thing he was wearing was a pink glitter dress and pink glitter dolly shoes. Thanks to a stripper who had mugged them, choosing to take his clothes as well. Laughing slightly , Will ran a hand through his hair. He hadn't escaped untouched either. A lot of his hair had been burnt and cinged, from many many cooking accidents. Matt groaned, wishing he still had the cushion.
"Here." Will threw a small cushion to Matt, who accepted it grartefully. In the past few months the two had become good friends. Being stuck in the toilets of a strip joint for nine hours can do that. A sudden sense of relaxation and being home filled the small apartment. They had gone back to Matt's simply becuase it was closest. Will closed his eyes, his mind filling with thoughts on the last few months. His mind jumped through the events, recusing Sora, forming the team, fighting David. His mind leapt back,thinking about the conversation he had before leaving on this roadtrip.
"All set?" Will turned to see Sora standing behind him,watching him packing stuff into his large sports bag. Will smiled .
"Yeah. I owe you for letting me stay here." Will smiled, Sora had let him stay even after defeating David. He'd lived with her for around four months, but he was rarely ever in the house anyway.
"You don't owe me at all." Sora replied easily. She had that look again. Will shifted uneasily, even he couldn't withstand it. His mind flicked to something he wanted to ask her.
"That kiss, when I came back from the Void." Will had wanted to ask this for a while, choosing to leave it till now.
"What did it mean?" He asked quietly, almost afraid of the answer. Sora turned a slight shade of red.
"You were talking a lot and you wouldn't shut up. I thought it would be a good way to stop you. Besides I was excited to see you." She couldn't look at him whilst she told him. Will wanted nothing more than to just kiss her then, prove to her it wasn't just because he was talking. He didn't move.
"I see." Will smiled. He turned and picked up his bag, slinging it over his shoulder. He was slightly thrown off balance by the weight.
"I like someone though." Sora said quietly,almost as if she didn't want to admit. Will turned and smiled. He remembered his vow to make her happy. He realised he'd also wear that braclet she gave him for as long as he could.
"You can tell me when I get back. I'll help you get with him then." He gave her a smile and thumbs up, before leaving.
"I'll tell Matt you said hi." He winked as he closed the door.
Glancing at Matt, Will knew why Sora liked him. Matt had told him of all the things that had happened in the past years with Digimon and her. He couldn't blame her. Will gazed at the ceiling. It had been a long time since he was part of a real group of people like this. Not just a team of Digidestined for a short while, but with actual friends. After sealing the void, Will had somehow run into Trace, the messenger. He had decided to work with him for a bit, before coming back. Will grinned, that was a very interesting time. David. Whenever thinking about a team or friends, Will's mind would return to David. Shutting his eyes and covering them with his hand, he thought about what his friend had done recently. Sacrificing himself so that Will could gather all the data to seal the soverign. Feeling a crushing weight fall onto his body, Will realised his duty was long from over. He hadn't defeated the soverign, he hadn't unsealed the main five soverigns, yet.
"Thinking about David?" Matt's voice broke the train of thought. Will was beginning to realise Matt was very good at reading people.
"Yeah." Will replied quietly. Something moaned on the table across the room. Matt and Will glanced to see Izzy moving slightly.
"I think Mimi is going to love those pink highlights!" Matt joked. Izzy barely raised his head, just enough to see Will and Matt. Both Will and Matt grinned playfully as Izzy glared at them. Will realised,he still hadn't met Mimi yet. His mind wandered to when he last spoke to Gennai, after sealing the Void.
Will sat across from the young man at a small wooden table. Both had a small cup of tea infront of them.
"So, what did you want to speak to me about?" Gennai placed his small cup on the table and looked directly at Will.
"I called you here because I needed to speak to you about the situation about the Guardians." Will's eyes fell and a sigh escaped.
"So you mean me, Lianne and Adam." Will said quietly.
"Well,no, Lianne is no longer class as a Guardian. Adam is also retired." Gennai took a quick drink from his tea.
"Roughly ten Guardians in each city with a team have been chosen and given Digimon and Digivices." Will's head shot up and glared at Gennai.
"As you are the last offical Guardian, they'll be looking to you as the leader of them. I am aware you are leading a new team. I have invited the leader of each team to come here , at a time of your choosing. You will need to meet them all and explain a few things." Will's head fell into his hands. He realised he should have retired when he had the chance.
"You are the Guardian Primus." Will's groaned at his new title.
Will shifted on the sofa, he should have that meeting soon. He heard someone moving ,probably Matt. The sound of the tv flooded the room. As Will began to try and listen to it, he felt sleep taking over him. He was the head Guardian. He was the Protector of the Digidestined. He was the leader of a new team. He had to admit, Guardian Primus had a nice ring to it.
