Final Frontier--Digimon

Summary: After returning from the trip to the digital world, the frontier digidestined return to their normal lives…until a new danger appears threatening the Digiworld. The digidestined are going to need all the help they can get; guess it's a good thing there are new digidestined kids to help with the job! The fact that they're the children of past digidestined kids should help, too!

Rating: K+. Shouldn't have anything deem of being a T rating, but may change in future chapters.

A/N: Man, is this OLD! I found it written in an old notebook and decided to beautify and upload it. This is one of my very first fanfics, EVER! So please go easy on it?

Disclaimer: I don't own any Digimon series, or any soccer and/or cheerleading teams. And if my description of a soccer game seems bad, it's not my fault I can't tell a goal from a foul (wait a sec…It IS my fault! Ahhh!!).

Random Comment of the Day: Isn't 'Go!!' by Flow awesome???

Chapter 1: It starts all over again…

Location: Remote location in the Digiworld

"So the 'great' Lucemon fell at the hands of some human children? Is that what you're saying?"

"Yes master," a small voice replied. The servant's head, concealed by their black hood, lowered into a bow, as a sign of respect. They recalled the information they were sent to retrieve for the master. "Takuya, Zoe, J.P., Tommy, Koj--"

"I didn't ask for insignificant details such as names, did I?" a thick and heavy voice bellowed. It was more of a statement rather than a question. "Just get to the important part of the report."

"Y-yes, master…" the hooded figure shook. It was only when their master acted so calm that he was starting to grow angry. They had learned that lesson the hard way before.

"Anyway, they're all humans and they're back to that rat hole they call a home. Though, they left behind the spirits of the ten legendary warriors in an attempt to protect the Digital world."

"Excellent." A row of perfectly white teeth showed, contrasting to a great extent the coal black skin of the servant's master. If he saw the figure in front of him shake at that gesture, he showed no signs of noticing. "While they're away, they've left the world on the hands of those measly spirits. Those can easily be taken care of. It's the perfect chance to strike. But those meddlesome Celestial digimon might become a problem."

"You mean Salamon, Patamon and Lopmon?"

"I mean Angewoman, Magnaangemon and Antylamon. Digimon, even babies, digivolve after all, or did you so easily forget…?" He enjoyed the reaction his pawn gave him as they inhaled a sharp breath and raised their head as an involuntary action. Damn, he loved his job.

"My apologies…Still, how can they be trouble, without reaching their Celestial level yet?"

"They may be able to contact humans again…" he stopped his verbal train of thought on purpose. He knew his pawn had gotten his message when they lowered their head even further.

"…I understand, master. The Celestial Digimon must be deleted, immediately…"

Location: Real world. Shinbuya town; central soccer field.

"Ready…?"

Takuya hated that word. He had often been on the receiving end of it, when people thought him too incompetent to understand something. He realized that he heard that word the most when he was told to take his make-up exams, when he flunked them weekly. He also realized that this was one of the times when hearing the phrase 'Ready?' didn't bother him, but rather gave him a high adrenaline surge.

"On your mark…"

*Gulp* 'Okay, Takuya…No need to be nervous…It's only the last ten minutes of the soccer finals for the schools in all the nearby towns…and depending on your score you might or might not be asked to retake that science test you forgot to study for…you're only the team captain and star player…no pressure…'

"Get set…"

He faintly heard the sound of his friends cheering him on by the sidelines. He was glad that they were all able to come.

Zoe had joined the cheerleading club in her school and, as an amazing coincidence, her school was up against his in the cheerleading finals versus rival schools. A few hours prior, her school had won against his, and she told him that since her team won, his only way to not be utterly embarrassed by the defeat was to win the soccer match. Why he would be upset that his school would lose at cheerleading was beyond him, but he caught her hidden message: Good luck on the game, though my school's not on your side.

J.P. had become surprisingly popular with all his classmates as soon as he got back from the digital world. Of course, all the digidestined had their doubts when he made that announcement, and when they learned that he wasn't kidding, they were beyond amazed, but still happy for their friend. His school had, surprisingly by J.P's words, tied with Takuya's a few weeks ago. J.P. had told them that he didn't even know his school had a soccer team until that day. Today he came, whether to cheer for him or to watch Zoe in a uniform, he wasn't very sure…

Tommy had been his number one fan, by Tommy's own words though his little brother, Shinya, and was also fighting for that position. Supposedly thanks to him, Tommy had taken an interest in soccer, and though Tommy couldn't make a goal to save his life, all the digidestined came to all of his junior league soccer plays.

Koji and Kouichi were practically inseparable. Koji's father had profusely apologized for his 'little lie' about his mother being dead, and after convincing from Koichi, and both his mothers, he was finally able to forgive his father. Both Koji and his (real) mother were ecstatic to meet each other for the first time since...when? Birth? They were sure to buy lots of Kleenex tissues after the reunion. Nowadays Koji and Kouichi would stay often at the other's house: Koji spending long lost quality time with his mother and Kouichi learning about the father he had only heard about and never met.

"Get set…"

'Oh! Right! There's a game at hand, isn't there?'

Takuya gave a smirk. With his friends cheering him, there's no way he'd loose!

*WHISTLE*

"C'mon, Takuya! You can do it!" Tommy yelled from his seat. Takuya's team was ahead by two goals. So far, it had been the most nerve-wrecking game, with both teams showing their skills, proving that they earned their place on the finals.

"Yeah, Takuya! Win it!" This time, Koji was showing his support. Koji had brightened up -- and quite a lot, in fact! Since he found his real mother and made up with his step mom, his life couldn't be better, he said.

"And even if you don't," yelled Kouichi besides his friends, "we won't think any less of you! (*)" he finished with a slight laugh. He looked to his right, where J.P. was sitting and saw his chocolate-crazed friend staring at Zoe as she cheered, with hearts on his eyes.

"J.P. aren't you gonna cheer?"

"Uhhh…." was the intelligent reply, "Yeah! I think Zoe does a great cheer, too!"

"That isn't what I …" Koji placed a hand on his slightly older brother's shoulder.

"Don't bother. It's hopeless…"

They sent their attention on the game again. They saw that a kid, one with spiky purple hair and a pair of clear-blue goggles stole the ball from a teammate's of Takuya's and passed it to another boy from his team, this one had unruly brown hair and a similar pair of goggles, but his were of color purple. The later scored a goal, earning the cheers from one part of the crowd. The boys hi-five and ran to the other members of their team.

"Wow…those two are really good." Tommy said out loud, amazed by their teamwork. "That's the third goal they've made. Hey, Zoe, do you know who they are?"

Zoe stopped in the middle of a cheer and turned to her youngest friend. "I sure do!" she said with a smile "They're Zero and Isa. Their dads are super good at soccer, so they say the skills run in the family. Not only are they popular, but they're super cute, too!"

"Huh?" at this, J.P. broke from his trance.

"Um, Zoe? You don't mean that, do you?"

"Do you think Takuya's good enough?" Koji asked, ignoring J.P.'s newest Zoe-induced drama scene.

Kouichi shrugged and looked at the game. Five minutes left. "We're gonna find out anyway…"

"Zoe?" he was ignored yet again.

Takuya snatched the ball from the other side of the field, and headed to his team's scoring goal. He locks, he shoots, and Isa blocks the shot, passing it to Zero.

"Hey!"

Takuya's yelp landed on deaf ears, he watched as a teammate tried to intercept the pass, but failed. Zero kicked the ball to his goal as the goalie laid useless by the side, unable to stop the fast kick.

"No fair…" Takuya noticed the game was no tied six to six.

"I think we just found out…" Kouichi said, answering to his brother's earlier thought about the two boy's skills.

"Way to go!" Isa yelled to Zero.

"All right!" was the purple haired boy's reply.

"I won't fall for that again…" Takuya told himself, a new fire burning in his eyes: determination.

After another whistle, the game resumed. Isa had the ball yet again and was going to execute his usual strategy and passed the ball to Zero with lightning speed. Zero caught it, but was soon surrounded, according to Takuya's plan. Zero had a frown, but found his only option was to pass the ball to Isa. As he did, Takuya intercepted the pass and was able to score, seconds before the buzzer.

"All right!"

If someone said Takuya was happy, it was an understatement. All his friends came to him, instantly congratulating him.

"Way to go Takuya!"

"Awesome!"

"Wow!"

"Nice game!"

"Aw, c'mon guys," said the goggle boy, scratching the back of his head, "stop it, you're embarrassing me…"

Zero and Isa walked over to the group of teenagers, getting their attention. Isa called to Takuya.

"Hey."

"It's Takuya, right?" asked Zero.

"Oh, wow!" exclaimed the cheerleader, almost with hearts in her eyes, "It's Zero and Isa!!"

"Man, these guys are getting on my nerves…" whispered J.P.

Zoe hit him in the stomach with her elbow, any sign of happiness in her eyes were gone and a glare took their place. After witnessing that J.P. suffered some damage, she turned to the confused faces of Isa and Zero. "You guys are really good, y' know…"

"It's thanks to our dads." replied Isa. "Our dads were experts in their teens and well, soccer runs in the family"

"Yeah, but apparently, it wasn't enough!" Zero shook hands with Takuya with no signs of sadness. He accepted defeat and was glad to meet someone like him. Takuya shook back, also smiling.

"Yeah man! You were kicking out there!" It seems Zero wasn't the only one happy with meeting a challenge.

"T-thanks!" it was obvious that Takuya was red now. "Y-you guys were pretty good yourselves…"

"Hey, Koji," Kouichi whispered, " It looks like a goggle boy fan club, and they all like soccer."

"Yeah…" he whispered back, "I wonder if that happens to everyone that wears goggles (**)…"

"I think the only thing they don't have in common is the digital world…"

Location: At the other side of the field…

"Huh?"

A teenage girl with short blonde hair was passing by with her best friend. It looked like they were too late to see the end of the soccer game. She looked to the direction where the group of the players just won their game. Nearby said group, she saw Takuya and the others.

"Hey, look Rie!" she said to her friend, "It's the guys, over there."

Lariem, the girl with long dark blue hair in pig-tails with round glasses looked to where her friend was pointing. Her face instantly lit up.

"Yeah, it's Zero and Isa! Hey, guys!" she yelled to them, getting their attention.

"Wha-?" Zero looked in the direction of the girls, hearing their cries. When he saw them coming their way, he smiled and turned to Isa.

"Hey Isa, it's your girlfriend, Mara!"

Isa, who had also seen the girls coming, gave a glare to Zero. "She's not my girlfriend! Who'd like a girl as tomboyish as her??" he turned away with his arms crossed. He had a slight frown on his face, but the small blush on his face contradicted the emotion he wanted to portray. "Besides!" he replied, "everyone knows you like Lariem."

That shut Zero up for good.

Zoe, not only confused, looked quite heartbroken. "G-girlfriends...? Both of them...?"

J.P., on the other hand, was happy in his own little world. "Yes!"

Little did the ten kids know, a dark, shady, clocked female character was watching them and all their actions. She took off her binoculars and sat down on the edge of the building from where she was looking from. She gave a heavy sigh as she placed the binoculars somewhere inside her cloak.

"It has begun…They'll be in more trouble than they'll want to be…"

How was it? This is just the prologue, but I decided to officially make it the first chapter. And a question: If the unofficial characters added to the story are the kids of official characters, does that make them OC's? Hmmmm……

Also, guess who the semi-OC's parents are! I'll say next chapter!

(*) A big chocolate chip cyber cookie to all those that figured out where that phrase came from! It's from a remark made to Daisuke (Davis) on Digimon 02. I think it was Takeru (T.K.) that said it…

(**) I seriously think this phrase is true. The only main character that didn't seem to like soccer like the others was Marcus and he didn't have goggles. Could this be Digimon's biggest secret?!?!...doubt it.
