Here I am again with another fic. This isn't centered on Sora/Yamato (though I will put them together here). This is my view on how the Zero Two should have been. Reviews and suggestions are more than welcome. Just sent me a PM if you have an account or use the review for suggestions too. Feedback is very much appreciated. Digimon Adventure
I created three different Digimentals (Digieggs) for Daisuke, Miyako and Iori. Ken does have one so there's no need to create one for him. I'm also using the original names for the Digimons and Destined, so Tailmon is Gatomon in the English version. As for the Destined, I think everyone knows their original names. I don't remember of anything else to explain beforehand so, to the fic.
Chapter 1: The One Who Finds Strength
(Takeru's POV)
Three years had passed since we came back from our adventure in the Digital World. A lot had changed since then, we got older and aren't as close to each other anymore. We didn't have a common objective anymore so we moved on with our lives. Taichi is still in the soccer team, it was his passion after all. Yamato and his friends started a rock band, they're a huge hit in Japan. Sora started playing tennis, but didn't forget about soccer. She also began helping her mother with the flower shop; it helped her become more feminine. Koushiro is still the computer expert, and I think that will never change. He didn't change much, except his hair is shorter. Mimi is the one who changed the most. The pink dress was replaced by a short white skirt and long length boots. She dyed her hair pink and moved to USA with her parents. Jyou is studying hard to become a doctor, a tradition in his family. He went to a private school in Odaiba. Hikari became a strong girl. She developed the passion of taking photographs, so she's always carrying her camera. As for me? Well, my mother and I moved to Odaiba not too long ago. I'm in the same school as Hikari, Odaiba Elementary School. This is where our story begins.
"Thanks for the lunch, mom." I said as I left the dishes on the sink.
"I'm so sorry I can't drive you to school, Takeru." Natsuko apologized. "This report is due today, so I have to finish it."
My mother is an investigative reporter. She works in a famous newspaper.
"It's okay, mom. Your work is more important. I have plenty of time, so I'll go by walking."
"Take care, son. Good luck with school."
"Thanks."
I grabbed my bag and put it over my shoulders. I picked my digivice and my D-terminal. I always carry them in case something happens or one of the Destined needs to reach me. That was one of the deals we made after we came back.
"Send my wishes to Hikari for me."
"I will. Bye."
I was getting impatient as I waited for the elevator. I still had sometime but I was really excited about seeing Hikari again. Fortunately the elevator didn't take long. As the door opened, I saw two kids inside. I flashed them a smile and walked in.
"Hi, my name is Miyako Inoue. This is Iori Hida." The girl introduced herself and the boy next to her. "Are you new here? I haven't seen you around."
"Yeah, I moved in with my mother around three weeks ago."
"Oh I see."
"I'm Takeru Takaishi by the way."
"Nice to meet you, Takeru." Both of them said at the same time.
"Nice to meet you too."
We continued to talk and getting to know each other through all the way to school.
"Wow I cannot believe we're in the eighth grade!" Taichi said as he walked to school with Yamato, Sora and Koushiro. "And I can't believe I'm in the same class as you two!"
The blonde and the girl smiled. This was going to be a long year.
"Not by choice though." Yamato mocked. "We didn't have much of a choice, unfortunately."
"Very funny, Ishida." The brunette playfully hit him in the arm.
"Hey, you started your school year very well. You overslept. Again!"
"It's not my fault I wanted to enjoy my last day before school fully."
"We actually had to throw a bucket of cold water so you could wake up." Sora rolled her eyes and smiled. "What are you thinking, Koushiro?"
"Oh." The red haired boy was snapped back from his thoughts. "I just have a really hard time with first day at school. You know, making new friends."
"You have us." Taichi put a hand around his shoulder. "I'm the best friend a person could ever ask, right Sora and Yamato?"
Sora and Yamato exchanged glances and started laughing.
"You're so full of yourself, Taichi."
"Yeah, who said you're my best friend?"
"Ah, guys are no fun!" He pouted playfully.
"Taichi is right, though. You have us, Koushiro. So I was thinking maybe we can meet in the break. Is that okay with you all?" The girl asked.
"Yeah." Taichi, Yamato and Koushiro said together.
"Alright then."
"Well, I'm going to play soccer before class starts."
"The room is gonna stink."
"I'm so not sitting next to you, Taichi."
"You two took the day to tease me, didn't you?"
"That's always fun." Sora stuck her tongue out at him.
"And I'm gonna meet the guys so we can discuss the last arrangements from our concert."
"Okay, I'll see you in class."
Yamato smiled at her and she blushed a little. She shook her head to stop the blushing.
"Taichi, don't get too sweaty, alright?"
"Alright, mom."
Sora frowned and Taichi started laughing.
"Payback is a bitch, isn't it?"
"Whatever." She turned around to talk to Koushiro. "Do you know which class is yours?"
"It says 7-A. I'm guessing it's not too far from yours."
"Well…" She looked at her watch. "I still have some time. Do you want me to go with you?"
"Sure."
I arrived at school and stopped by the gate. I think Miyako and Iori didn't notice that because they kept walking. A group of students were playing soccer and one of them reminded a lot of Taichi, but since he's in another building now I knew it couldn't be him. A guy threw the ball towards me and I grabbed it. The guy who looked like Taichi went to pick it. He stared at me with a weird look and I had to laugh.
"You have some nice glasses."
"Huh?"
I threw the ball at him and walked away to class. I wondered if I would see Hikari. I hoped I'd be in her class, but I knew there was a possibility I wouldn't be. I was told to wait in another room until the teacher called for me.
"Hey Hikari. Looks like we're in the same class again."
"Yeah, I think so."
"I saw a weird guy today. He said I have nice glasses."
"Huh?"
The teacher walked in and everyone went to their seats and the noise ceased.
"Good morning class."
"Good morning."
"We have a new student this year. I'll go get him."
As soon as the teacher left, the students started gossiping about this new student. Everyone was eager to know who he was. Hikari had a feeling about it, because Yamato talked about it with Taichi, and he told her. She tried not to be too excited about it, or Daisuke would be jealous. She enjoyed seeing him jealous though. The teacher walked in again and everyone stopped talking.
"Come in."
Daisuke was shocked when I walked in, he had no idea I was the new student. His face was priceless. I turned my attention to Hikari and flashed her a smile, and she smiled back at me.
"My name is Takeru Takaishi. I moved to Odaiba a few weeks ago."
"Welcome, Takeru." The whole class said.
"Thank you."
"Let me see…" The teacher scanned through the room to find a place for me to sit. "You can sit next to Hikari."
"What?" Daisuke screamed.
I made my way to the desk next to Hikari's and sat down. I gotta say she became a beautiful girl. My expectations were definitely paid off.
"It's nice meeting you again." I smiled.
"Yeah, we haven't seen each other for about an year."
We didn't have much time to catch up because the teacher had already started the class. I didn't want to cause trouble on my first day after all.
"Where's Taichi?" Koushiro said as he met Sora and Yamato after school ended.
"He went to the Digital World."
"What?"
"His digivice started bleeping. Apparently Agumon was in trouble."
"You didn't go with him?"
"We wanted to." Yamato replied. "But I have to practice with the band. I've missed too many practices already. And Sora has tennis class."
"Yeah."
"Well, in that case I'll go look for him."
"Let us know if you need us."
"Sure thing."
The red haired boy started running towards the Elementary School building, since the Computer Club was there.
"I really wish I could go, I haven't seen Piyomon for a while."
"Yeah, I know what you mean. But we're stuck with real life." Yamato rolled his eyes.
"Pretty much. Are you going home first?"
"I guess. I need to pick my bass."
"You don't sound so excited about going to practice."
"It's because this concert is stressing all of us."
"Really?"
"Akira and Yutaka are fighting a lot lately. Takashi and I always have to break them up and it's getting annoying."
"I'm sorry." She placed a hand on his shoulder. "If you need to talk, I'm here."
"Thanks, Sora. You're a great friend."
"Thanks. So are you."
He smiled and offered her his arm. "Shall we?"
She reluctantly took it and they started walking away.
Hikari and I decided to go to the library after school and catch up with each other's lives in the meanwhile.
"So how's Taichi doing?"
"He's good. Still playing soccer."
"Typical." I smiled.
"He still has the same bu…"
Hikari was cut off by Daisuke's sudden entrance. I could tell he was angry.
"Takashi, what are your intentions with Hikari?"
"What?"
"You know his last name, it's Takaishi. And shut up."
"I will not tolerate having you next to my girl."
"Excuse me?" Hikari shouted. "I am not your girl. And stop talking to Takeru like that."
"You seem jealous." I said in a playful tone.
"Shut up."
"Excuse me." A girl interrupted the argument. "Are you by any chance Hikari Yagami?"
"Miyako!"
"Yes, that's me."
"Do you happen to know Taichi Yagami?"
"Taichi!"
"He sent an e-mail to Koushiro, something about being in a Digital World."
Hikari and I exchanged uncomfortable glances. We knew we may have to tell them about it later. She started running towards the Computer Club. I was following her closely. Daisuke and Miyako followed us.
"I never realized the Elementary building was so far away." Koushiro gasped as he walked upstairs.
"Koushiro!" Miyako said cheerfully.
"Miyako, can I use the computer?"
"Sure."
"Koushiro, Taichi sent an e-mail."
The computer expert looked around and saw the two familiar faces.
"Takeru and Hikari?"
"We need to go to the Digital World now."
"Yeah, I was actually going to find out where Taichi is."
"Can I go to the Digital World too?"
"Eh…" Koushiro had no idea what to say.
"Not everyone can go there." I finished.
"We have to go!"
We all ran to the computer room.
Taichi had met Agumon in the Digital World. Patamon and Tailmon were with him. They were hidden in a cave.
"We should be safe here."
"I wonder how Piyomon and Tentomon are."
"They should be fine, Patamon." Tailmon said.
"Look Taichi!"
"It's the crest of Courage."
They all got close to the crest.
"Well, it's definitely not a crest."
"What is this?"
"Maybe it's something new that will help us. Like a new evolution or something."
"I will e-mail Koushiro about it first. Maybe he'll be able to come here and help us."
Taichi took out his D-terminal and sent the e-mail.
Koushiro sat in front of the computer and checked his inbox. Taichi's e-mail had just arrived and he immediately replied.
"Miyako." Iori called her from the door. "You promised to fix my computer, remember?"
"That's right. I completely forgot."
Hikari and I watched as they left and immediately turned our attentions to our friend.
"Now we just need to locate him in the Digital World."
"Digital World? I remember Taichi telling me something about it."
"You know Taichi?" I asked.
"They know each other from the Soccer Club."
"I want to go with you."
"But you can't, Daisuke."
"Why not?"
"Because you need this." I showed him my digivice.
"What is this?"
"It's our passport to the Digital World."
"I'm going anyway."
Hikari sighed at Daisuke's stubbornness. I couldn't help but laugh.
"I found him!"
"Koushiro replied me." Taichi said excitedly. "Takeru and Hikari are with him."
"Taichi, why don't you try lifting this thing up?" Agumon suggested.
"Eh… alright." He walked to what seemed like an egg and tried to lift it. "It's so heavy!"
"What?"
"I can't lift it up!"
Suddenly a light appeared from the egg and three other lights appeared from the other light.
"What is going on here?"
Taichi and the three Digimon watched as the lights went out, disappearing from their sight.
"I didn't know the portal was open." Koushiro looked at the computer screen and saw something unusual. "What?"
I turned to look at the screen just as three lights came all the way over to the computer room. One of them stopped in Daisuke's hands and the other two flew towards the hall.
"Is this a digivice?" Daisuke asked.
"It looks like it."
"But it's different from ours." I said.
"I have no time to waste!" Hikari said firmly and pointed her digivice to the computer. "Taichi needs me."
A light illuminated the room and Hikari disappeared with it. I instantly grabbed my own digivice and did the same. Koushiro looked at Daisuke, who was visibly surprised and shocked.
"What are you gonna do, Daisuke?"
"Wait and see!"
He pointed his digivice to the screen as well and was teleported to the Digital World. Just as Koushiro was about to go to the Digital World as well, Miyako and Iori came rushing into the room.
"Koushiro, what the hell was that?"
"Miyako!" He tried to hide his digivice from her and gave an embarrassing laugh.
"Taichi, come here."
"What's up, Agumon?"
"There's another egg over here."
"What?" He ran to where his partner was. "I have never seen this crest before."
"It's the crest of Strength." Tailmon said.
"Crest of Strength? I didn't know there were other crests besides ours."
"Apparently they were lost in the Digital World. That's what I heard anyway."
"How come Gennai didn't tell us about them back then?"
"I don't think he knew about it."
"Taichi, try lifting the egg again."
"Alright." He walked to the egg of Courage. "So, Tailmon, tell me about this Digimon Emperor again."
"He likes to torture Digimon." She began. "He captures and forces them to do what he wants, which is never something good."
"We tried to stop him but we can't do much at this level."
"And we can't digivolve because of the stupid black towers."
Taichi listened to everything carefully but didn't say anything. He was too busy trying to lift the egg and thinking about their current situation. The egg finally seemed to move, and he was able to lift it up.
"You did it!" Agumon cheered.
"Yeah, but now I have to figure out how it works. And who owns the other one."
Taichi's D-terminal flew open and the egg was teleported into it.
"It was yours after all."
"Yeah, except I don't know how it works."
The cave started shaking pretty badly. They all looked around to see if they found the source of the shakes.
"We need to get out of here!"
"What about the egg?"
"I'm sure it will be fine. Let's go!"
"Daisuke and the others went to the Digital World, didn't they?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Don't you lie to me, Koushiro."
"But I'm not lying."
"So how do you explain this?" She showed him her digivice.
"Where did you get this?"
"Iori has one as well."
"What?"
"Daisuke went to the Digital World with it, didn't he?" She insisted.
It was quite a walk before I could finally see Patamon. He flew towards me and landed in my arms.
"I missed you, buddy."
"I missed you too, Patamon."
"Tailmon!"
"Hikari!"
"You guys finally arrived." Taichi ran towards them. "What's Daisuke doing here?"
"He has a digivice." I replied.
"What? How?"
"Don't ask me. But it's different from ours."
Taichi made a weird face and then remembered what he had to say. "I found something you guys should see."
"What?" Hikari asked.
"Come with me."
We all followed him to where, according to him, there was a cave. He showed us the egg.
"What is this?"
"I have no idea." He replied. "But earlier I found another one with the crest of Courage."
"Are you saying this symbol here is a crest?"
"Yeah, I just haven't seen it before."
Hikari and I bent down to look at it. It was definitely a different symbol.
"I didn't know there were other crests."
"Me neither."
"I tried, but I can't lift it. It's so heavy."
Taichi suddenly turned to Daisuke with a serious expression. Daisuke began to feel really uncomfortable.
"What do you want, Taichi?"
"Try lifting it up, Daisuke."
"What? Me?"
"Yeah, I want to know if this egg is yours."
"I can try. But I know it's not."
"We don't know that."
The eleven year old boy stood in front of the egg and tried to lift it up. He didn't have trouble doing that at all, which surprised all of us.
"I can't believe you couldn't lift it, Taichi. It wasn't heavy at all."
"What?"
A white light emerged from where the egg was. We all turned our heads just in time to see a shadow inside it.
"What's going on here?" Daisuke asked surprised.
"It's…"
"…A Digimon!"
"Yay, yay, yay! I'm free."
"Huh?"
"I've been waiting for someone to set me free and you did it." The Digimon said happily as he jumped up and down towards Daisuke.
"I don't get it."
"He's your Digimon, Daisuke." Hikari explained.
"You mean, like Tailmon?"
"Yes, he's your partner."
As the boy tried to think of something to say, the egg was teleported into his D-terminal. Taichi took a long look at him.
"Seems like you're a new Chosen, Daisuke.
"I am what?"
"Are you sure, brother?"
"Yeah. He has a digivice and now, this egg. I couldn't be surer."
"But his digivice is different from ours."
"Maybe there's a new technology or something. Koushiro may be able to explain it a little better, I hope." Taichi looked away. "We need to go back now."
"Yeah, it's almost getting dark." I said.
"We are going to take care of this area."
"We'll find the other Digimon and ask them to help us."
"Don't hesitate on telling us if something happens, okay?"
"Okay."
Koushiro was trying to keep Miyako and Iori in the real world as long as he could. He could only pray it wouldn't have to be longer because he sucked at it.
"So when are we going?"
"What? Where?"
"To the Digital World, of course."
"Eh… eh… isn't it a little late for that?" He said. "I mean, it's six pm."
"I still wanna go." She looked at the screen. "What?"
The two boys turned their heads to the screen so they could see what was going on. Taichi was on the other side of it. He and the rest of us were quickly back in the real world. The other three didn't have time to run away, we fell on top of them.
"Could you all please get off me?" Koushiro pleaded.
"Oh sorry." Taichi said as he quickly stood up.
"I want to go to Digital World!" Miyako cried.
"We can go tomorrow, Miyako."
"Ahh!"
"I had such a great time. But I still don't know what that thing is for."
"What thing?"
"I'll tell you about it later, okay?" Taichi placed a hand on Koushiro's shoulder. "It's kind of a big deal, so I want Yamato and the others to be there as well."
"I see."
"The whole Digital World thing is too new for me."
"You'll get used to it with no time. We all had trouble at first." I said.
"He's right."
"I need to shut the computer down."
We waited as Koushiro went back to turn off the computer. Today was surely a different day. I never thought my first day at school would be like this. A new adventure was beginning but none of us knew what enemies would come our way. The only thing we knew was that we'd be ready to defeat them all. These eggs Taichi and Daisuke got have to be for something in our favor. I rubbed my eyes, I definitely needed some sleep.
Reviews are appreaciated, suggestions (including couples) as well. I hope you enjoyed. The second chapter will be up asap.
