Digimon Adventure 02
A New Threat
It's hard to believe how much has changed since that year we went to the Digital World. Tai and Yuuki are married and have a little girl. Matt and Sora are also married and are expecting their first child. Kari and I are getting married in two months while Taiyou went to study overseas and everyone else simply scattered about.
We thought that when we sealed Millenniumon that it was over. However, what we didn't know was that the worst was yet to come. –TK
"Hey, Kari are you about ready?" Tai called as he waited at the door with his daughter Reitou.
"Yeah." Kari said walking around the corner.
"Well come on then." Tai said. "I'm sure TK is getting a little…"
"Tai!"
"What?" Tai asked innocently.
"Not around my niece, your daughter." Kari said annoyed and blushing. Realizing what Kari was thinking Tai laughed and smiled. Then he walked over to his sister, leaned in and whispered in her ear so that Reitou would hear.
"I wasn't meaning that."
"Well good, but what were you meaning then?" Kari asked.
"Never mind." Tai said still smiling about Kari's reaction. "Come on I have to go by Autumn's place and pick up Kousei."
"Alright then." Kari said as they walked to the car.
"So, are you ready?" he asked smiling at her. He still couldn't believe that in two months…
"Yeah." Kari said. "Though I'm a little nervous."
"That's natural." Tai said then he looked back at his daughter. "Come on Reitou."
"Coming daddy." she said as she skipped down to her father and Aunt. Laughing Tai picked her up when he saw something he hadn't seen in nearly five years.
"What the-"
"Tai?" Kari asked coming up behind him.
"D-did you see that?" Tai asked as he put Reitou in her car seat.
"See what?"
"I could have sworn I saw Agumon just now." Tai said shocking Kari. She remembered back when they went to the Digital World before that Tai saw Agumon before they actually went.
"You're kidding, right?"
"No, I'm sure I saw him." he said as they got in the car.
"Is something happening then?"
"I don't know Kari." Tai told her. "But I do know that if he's here it's not good."
"That's true." Kari sighed. "I really hope that it's nothing though."
"Let's not talk about this now." Tai said looking back at his daughter. "Not in front of Reitou."
"Yeah you're right." Kari sighed. Like Tai she didn't want to put their troubles on another generation.
"Besides, don't you have to meet with Autumn?" Tai asked, "You know to finalize your plans?"
"Yeah I do."
"That's where TK's at now right?" he asked as they turned into Autumn's driveway.
"Yes."
"Alright." Tai said. "I'm going to get Kousei, hang tight okay?"
"Okay." Kari said and Tai got out of his car, then he walked to the house and rang the bell. He couldn't help the smile that came when he heard the sounds of the scuffle, and when the door opened he saw a young boy with long black hair. This boy was the exact image of his father, just like Reitou was Yuuki's exact image.
"Hey Uncle Tai." he said hyperliy
"Hey Kousei, is your daddy home?"
"Yep, DADDY!" Kousei shouted causing Tai to chuckle. Oh no his nephew definitely wasn't anything like Autumn. Kousei may have looked just like his father, he had his mother's attitude.
"I'm right here Kousei." Kouichi said walking out of the kitchen. "Hey Tai, thanks for taking him to school this morning."
"No problem." Tai told him. "Are you ready Kousei?"
"Yep." he said.
"Okay go ahead to the car." Tai told him. "I need to talk to your daddy for a minute."
"Okay!" Kousei said excitedly then he ran to the car. "Hey Aunt Kari."
"Hey Kousei, ready for school?"
"Yep!" Kousei said "Hey Reitou."
"Hey Kousei."
"What's up?"
"Nothing really. Excited for school. What about you?"
"Me too." Kousei said then he looked back at Tai. "What's the deal with your dad?"
"I don't know. Maybe Aunt Kari would know." Reitou said "Hey Aunt Kari?"
"Yes Reitou, what is it?"
"What's wrong with daddy?"
"I don't know really." Kari told them. "Sorry Reitou."
"Oh okay."
Meanwhile Kouichi looked back at his brother in law shocked. He had hoped that they feeling he had been having for the last year was wrong. Now he wasn't so sure.
"Are you sure you saw Agumon Tai?" Kouichi asked
"Yes, and Kari didn't see him, so at first I wasn't sure. Now however I am positive that it was him."
"Well I don't know what's going on, but I'll talk to the others." Kouichi told him. "Takuya and the others go back and forth to the Digital World often. If there was a problem one of them would know."
"Why don't you go?" Tai asked curiously.
"Same reason Rika doesn't let Ryo go." Kouichi shrugged. "Except it's my brother."
"Alright, well just let me know alright?"
"I will." Kouichi said as Tai walked back to his car and got in.
"Everyone ready?" he asked.
"Yeah, we're ready Tai." Kari said
"Alright then." Tai said as he put the car in reverse and drove back onto the road.
"Hey Uncle Tai, what was it that you needed to talk to my daddy about?" Kousei asked as they drove down the road, being his blunt self as usual.
"I-it was nothing important really." Tai said, but Kari knew better and she looked over at him.
"We'll talk about this later, alright Tai?" Kari asked.
"Y-yeah." Tai said as he pulled up to the elementary school. "Alright you two, be good."
"We will." Kousei said. "Come on Reitou."
"Coming. Bye daddy. Bye Aunt Kari." Reitou said getting out of the car as well.
"Bye Reitou have a good day." Kari said and she watched as the two ran to the school. Then she looked back at Tai.
"Kari, I know what I saw." Tai told her as he pulled out.
"What did Kouichi say about it?"
"He said that the others had been going back and forth to the Digital World for a while now and he didn't know if they found anything or not." Tai told her as they turned down the road to the café where Autumn and TK were waiting "But that doesn't mean anything."
"Well alright." Kari said but she still couldn't shake the feeling that something big was going to happen.
"I know I saw him." Tai said almost to himself as they got out of the car once they pulled into the café parking lot.
"I believe you Tai. Even though I didn't see him, I believe you." Kari said walking you to Autumn and TK.
"See who?" TK asked.
"It's nothing TK." Tai said. "I'm going to pick up Yuuki and Starla then meet you at the dress makers right Kari?"
"Right."
"Alright later then." Tai said and he left.
"What was that about?" Autumn asked as the three sat down at a table.
"I guess he didn't want you guys to know because it might be nothing, but Tai saw Agumon this morning."
"Wait w-what?" Autumn asked shocked. Now she understood the bad feeling she had been having for the last few months. "It couldn't be."
"Yeah, well Tai saw Agumon this morning for a brief moment before we left to get Kousei for school." Kari explained not missing the look in Autumn's eye.
"Oh." Autumn said as she turned a page in her book that she had brought with her to read while she waited for TK and Kari to get to the café.
"What is it Autumn?" TK asked knowing how she was. Whenever something with Digimon happened she usually knew about it or had an idea. He also noticed how she had became quiet, as if she hoped they would drop the subject. "Do you know something about this?"
"Well I didn't want to say anything unless it was important, but something didn't happen in the Digital World about two years ago." Autumn told them. "Something only me Kouji and the other warriors, except for Kouichi, knows about."
"What is it?" Kari asked not shocked that Autumn would hide things. After all she often hid different things from them if it was necessary. Still if it was really important she normally told Kari at least what it was.
"Well like is said it happened about two years after Taiyou left for America." Autumn sighed. "Me and Kouichi were walking down the riverbank thinking about everything we had been through and everything that had happened over the last few years, when there was a huge shock wave of negative energy."
"So, what happened?"
"Well Kouichi also felt it like me, but he was bedridden after the shock wave hit him. So, the six of us went to the Digital World to find out what happened, however what we found wasn't good." Autumn told them looking at her digivice.
"What did you find?" Kari asked having the same bad feeling she had had earlier that morning when Tai dropped the kids off.
"You remember Ice Devimon?"
"Yeah…" Kari said slowly.
"Well it seems that when he attacked you guys before he marked Kouichi and it took him four years to accumulate his powers and launched it from the Digital World to here. But the problem when we got there the whole place was wiped out and gone." Autumn sighed. "You guys remember Ryo talking about the three Digital Worlds ad how he faced Millenniumon in each world?"
"Yes…"
"We were lucky that Gatomon and the others were able to get to one of the two other worlds, before the one was destroyed." Autumn told the two causing them to both relax, because she could tell that they were worried about them. "There wasn't anything we could have done since we didn't know what happened or where the ice freak was."
"So, there may be more to this?" TK asked shuddering, he hated facing any of the Devimons, no matter who they were.
"I don't know TK." Autumn sighed. "I don't know."
"Anyway, I think we have some planning to do." TK said bringing them back to the topic at hand. "Right?"
"Right like what we want served, the cake, flower arrangements, the church, and the venue for the reception." Kari smiled thinking about her wedding at last coming up.
Meanwhile Ryo and Rika were walking down the road when Renamon appeared in front of them. Ryo knew then that if she was there then something big going to happen and it had to be bad. 'This isn't good.'
"Renamon?" Rika asked shocked.
"What's up?" asked Ryo looking at the fox. "I'm sure that this is more than a social call."
"Hey Rika, hi Ryo." Renamon said smiling. "Ryo's right though, my visit is not personal."
"Oh boy what's happened?" Ryo asked.
"Well nothing good." Renamon told them. "Ryo do you remember telling everyone about facing Millenniumon in more than one world?"
"Of course." said Ryo "Why had something happened?"
"Yes, we have a new threat."
"P-Please tell that h-he's not…" Ryo said scared.
"Someone new." Renamon said reading into Ryo's question. "All I know is his name is Daemon."
"Daemon?" Ryo asked, relieved that Millenniumon hadn't come back after them all. "I've never heard of him."
"Hey Ryo! Rika!"
"Huh?" Rika said looking up at the shout.
"Yo!" said the wolf standing on the roof.
"Kouji? What's going on that you're here in your Digimon form?" Rika asked confused.
"I've been looking for you guys." Kouji said sliding from his Digimon form back to his human form. "There's a problem."
"Renamon was just telling us." Rika told him.
"But I doubt that she knows everything." Kouji said confusing them.
"I only know his name." Renamon told him and Kouji nodded
"I see." Kouji sighed. "We should gather the others and then I'll explain what I found out."
"What about Taiyou and the others?" Ryo asked, "You know JP and Tommy?"
"JP and Tommy already know and are in the Digital World looking after things." Kouji said. "I don't know about Taiyou, but I do know this, the guardians have chosen four new ones." Kouji added to the shocked group and Ryo knew then that there was something big getting ready to happen.
