Prologue: Dream and Contact From an Old Friend
OooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOO
The wind blew hard in his face as the boy stood on top of a roof of a building; his brown eyes were glaring up at the sky where a strange green portal was forming. He knew who was going to emerge out of that portal in the sky. After all it was the only enemy they didn't defeat just banish and he had promised vengeance. His body tensed as the wind grew harsher as he felt something lean against his leg. Tearing his gaze away from the sky he looked down at the small orange dinosaur at his side. His partner, his friend, the one would stand by his side no matter what. "What is it Agumon" He asked.
"Only that they are coming." He responded quietly as his own body tensed up just like his partner's as his green eyes stared upward once more at the churning sky. Any moment now and he would appear.
"Who" The boy asked, but as he looked back he saw what his partner was talking about. Heading towards him was a blonde haired boy wearing black, and a red haired girl wearing blue jeans and a red tank top; both were holding hands, which the other scowled at. As his eyes trailed down he saw their partners tagging along behind them, both of them ready for battle. "What are you two doing here" He demanded. "As I remember correctly I told everyone to stay behind."
"And leave you to die, if you remember Tai even Imperialdramon couldn't defeat him, what makes you think you can" The blonde one questioned shooting a glare at the browned haired boy.
"Tai come back with us we can think of a plan." The girl begged.
He shook his head, before the two had gotten together the girl had always stood up for him, was on his side. Now she was on the other, but still his heart ached with a very deep pain so he tore his eyes away and looked back up at the sky. By now it was worse, storm clouds were rolling in to join the vortex. "No, I've already thought of a plan, besides Daemon hasn't gone up against the most powerful digimon yet. WarGreymon." He said his voice distant, but his next words though made his voice cold. "It would be best if the two of you left, two ultimates won't last long and I don't want to worry about your safety."
She was hurt by this and it was clearly shown on her face as she huddled closer to her boyfriend. The blonde haired boy simply wrapped his arms around her holding her close to his body as thunder raged and wind battled across the sky. "What do we do now Matt" She whispered.
"I don't know Sora, but we are not leaving him alone. We may not be on the best of terms, but either way he can't battle alone." He muttered his blue eyes trailing up to the sky.
Sora though kept her gaze locked on Tai, worry and pain nawing at her heart. That was when an explosion sounded knocking her and Matt to the ground hard. Shaking her head she looked up with surprise to see their brown haired leader still standing. Trying to calm down she took a deep breath to notice the sky completely tear apart to reveal a familiar figure.
"So it is the Digidestined of Courage, Love, and Friendship that have come to stop me." Daemon replied a smirk appearing on his face even though the entire hood over his head showed was his eyes. "I hope you are a worthier challenge than those other weaklings." He commented and rose up a hand ready for battle.
"Now Agumon" Tai shouted pulling out his digivice as it started shaking with power.
"Agumon warp digivolve to...WarGreymon"
"The great warrior digimon that is a legend, I see you have come back after all. I hope you are more powerful than Imperialdramon"
That was when two other digivices attracted the others attention as more power filled the air.
"Biyomon digivolve too...Birdramon"
"Birdramon digivolve too...Garudamon"
"Gabumon digivolve too...Garurumon"
"Garurumon digivolve too..."WereGarurumon"
"Don't forget about us" Matt shouted as he stood bringing Sora up with him.
"Two ultimates and one mega hardly worth my time, though I've been itching for a challenge, too bad I will have to destroy you all before it could get interesting. You see I have plans that need to be commenced." Daemon muttered. He was surprised even though it wasn't shown, he expected the Gabumon to be able to reach mega, and it would have been a better challenge. But beggars couldn't be choosers, so he stood by waiting to see them at their full strength.
"Fat chance. Attack" Tai shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Wing Blade"
"Wolf Kick"
"Terra Force"
The first two attacks combined with War Greymon's into a huge fireball and it slammed into Daemon causing a huge amount of smoke to rise up. Digimon and humans stood waiting to see if that was enough to defeat the evil mega. Laughter was the answer as Daemon reappeared with hardly a scratch. "That's it? Taste the true power of a mega digimon! Evil Inferno" He shouted as he lobbed a giant fireball at the three digimon, instantly causing Garudamon and WereGarurumon to de-evolve and left WarGreymon barely standing.
Sora and Matt ran to their fallen partners and picked them up before turning towards their leader. "Tai we have to retreat now" Matt urged and he held Gabumon carefully.
Tai once more shook his head no. "We are not going to give up, WarGreymon lets give it all we've got" He shouted. His partner obeyed standing up and allowing his partner to climb onto his back before taking off into the air. "Lets show this evil digimon what power we carry"
WarGreymon nodded in agreement and brought his clawed hands together as a ball of energy began to gather, growing bigger and bigger until he couldn't hold it anymore. "Terra Force" He shouted launching the attack as the sky was lit up with it.
WHAM! The attacked rammed into Daemon causing him some damage and some pain. "You are strong, but not strong enough. Evil Inferno" He shouted sending an even larger ball of energy straight at Tai and WarGreymon, too quick for them to dodge.
"TAI" Sora and Matt shouted at the same time unable to help their friend.
The attack raced towards the two faster and faster...
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Taichi "Tai" Kamiya instantly bolted up to a sitting position at the familiar sound that entered his hearing range. At first he thought it was his alarm clock, but remembering he didn't set it all, hoping he might get the chance to sleep in for once in his life. Looks like he was denied his chance, not only because of the beeping, but also the dream he had. It wasn't the same one this time, this one was different, it at least showed some hope compared to the dreams of destruction that constantly haunted his sleep as of late. It seemed every since the defeat of MaloMyotismon, he had been having strange dreams, that their fight was not yet over.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
There it was again, but now awake the teen figured out it was his email device that was making all the noise. Sighing he dragged himself away from his bed being careful not to wake up Agumon or get tangled in the sheets. Glad he was able to do both he walked carefully to his desk yawning. As soon as his fingers touched the device he felt some strange sense pass through his body, shaking it off he opened up the top part and was caught off guard as it started glowing.
In an instant a smaller image of young Gennai appeared as he looked up at the weary Tai. "Good I was able to reach you." He began.
"Yeah and woke me up too." Tai grumbled.
"Sorry, but I take it you were not sleeping well in the first place." The younger man replied a sense of knowing reflecting in his eyes.
"Yeah. It was another dream again. Gennai do you know what is going on"
"I do, which is why as soon as I received your email I responded. According to my readings an extremely large amount of energy is emanating from the Dark Ocean. The only digimon powerful enough to do that is..."
"Daemon." Tai whispered slight fear in his voice.
"Correct. After searching through as many books as I could I found out an answer. It seems there is one last prophecy that needs to be fulfilled before this world finds peace. Not all of it is clear, except for the ones who will be playing a huge part in this upcoming battle." Gennai responded looking worried for the first time in ages.
"Who"
"Courage, Kindness, Miracles, and Fate."
"So me, Ken, Davis, and Willis." He muttered then paused thinking for a moment. "I could understand why Ken and Davis, but me and Willis? For one thing he wasn't even there to begin with and I only heard about Daemon from the others..."
"Tai." Gennai interrupted. "As I told you the prophecy isn't clear about the true reason why you four were chosen to play major parts. Call it destiny if you will, but you are the one having the dreams of the future battle. You can read the rest of the text once you get here, for now you need to get ready."
"To go to the Digital World? How? I thought all the gates were closed after the defeat of MaloMyotisimon"
"They were, but one will be open in two days at sunset and you must be there with Davis and Ken or all hope will be lost. After that the gate will close, and you won't be able to come."
"But why? Can't you just keep in contact with us here? Plus wouldn't it be better if we had the advantage about him coming" Tai questioned worried. Then some kind of emotion rose up completely erasing his worry, the Digital World needed him again, and he wouldn't have to feel so useless anymore.
"You know as well as I do, that this is going to be a long hard battle. With the DNA digivolving process no longer accessible Veemon and Wormon will have to learn to evolve to their other forms on their own. Which will require your help to train the two, and that must be done where there would be less commotion. I know I'm asking allot, but Tai you have to leave the Real World behind, I don't know for how long, but it has to happen."
"I figured as much Gennai, ever since the dreams started I had a feeling that the fighting wasn't over with yet. I have no problem leaving, there really isn't much left for me here anyway. My digidestined duties come first above all else, convincing Davis and Ken though, might take a bit of work. I'm taking a shot in the dark here by guessing that you will be handling Willis"
"I've already taken care of that, he is here in my house as I'm speaking to you, and he is reading over the book trying to decipher more of the prophecy." He muttered as a small smile crossed his features.
"You said the gate opens in two days, where is it located" Tai said all business.
"At your old camp ground, be there exactly as the sun sets on the mountains, don't tell anyone about this, not even your sister. Only tell Davis and Ken, we cannot afford to have others following behind. Now I must go, I have a digimon scout here with the latest information."
"Thanks Gennai, don't worry we will be there." Tai muttered as he watched the younger Gennai's hologram disappear in a small flash of light. Sighing he knew inwardly that as soon as he disappeared the others would worry, not only that, but his sister would go crazy. But they would get over it, after he wasn't really that important anymore; at first all of his friends seemed to care about what happened between him and Sora. Davis, Ken, Mimi, Micheal, Izzy, Joe, and his little sister all supported him in the beginning. Then they all started to drift off, Mimi started dating Micheal and her messages were fewer and fewer. Izzy and Jyou began to busy themselves with schoolwork and computers, while his little sister starting dating TK, also Davis and Ken had started something. All of them started to move on with life and left him lying in the dust, he couldn't go back to Sora and Matt, his two closest friends. Both of the two had caused him deep pain and sorrow. The redhead by choosing Matt over him, and the blonde boy by lying to him about something he had said all those years ago. Pushing away his anger and pain Tai looked up Ken's email address to send him a message. Quickly he found it and began to type an email out, he had to focus on the task at hand in the present, not his painful past.
Ken,
I need you to wake up get ready, and then call Davis. I need the two of you to meet me in the park A.S.A.P. There is something very important I have to tell you. Make sure you bring your partners as well.
Tai
Quickly he pushed the send button as the small device popped up with the message saying the email was sent. Closing the top, he hurried over to his closet and pulled out a pair of faded jeans and a black long sleeved top. Dressing quickly and knowing a shower would have to wait he checked his messy brown hair in the mirror and making sure he didn't look too tired. Next he proceeded to wake up his partner which took a long time and after several attempts woke up a very cranky Agumon. He was instantly glad that he and his sister didn't share a room anymore, with all the noise the dinasoar was making she would have woken up by now.
Exiting his room he walked through the apartment to see his mom cooking breakfast of some kind by the smell it didn't seem good. His brown eyes scanned to the clock picking up the time 8:35am, which was early to him considering it was the weekend. Walking over to the coat rack he pulled off his long blue coat with yellow paw prints and pulled it on, while noticing that Agumon was already at the door holding his shoes. "Mom I'm going to meet up with some friends in the park I'll see you later okay"
"Sure honey, but wouldn't you rather wait for your sister to get up. Or to at least eat some breakfast" She asked looking over at her teen son.
"No thanks, I'll just take some breakfast bars." He muttered and reached over taking the box, which had a few left and pocketed them. "Just tell Kari I went out for a little while."
"Okay dear." His mother responded and went back to her cooking.
Giving a sigh of relief the brown haired boy walked over and slipped on his socks and shoes that were offered by his partner. Checking his coat pocket and hearing a clanking sound he still had his car keys and his digivice. Opening the door he exited planning on picking up a cup of coffee before going to the park...
OooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOO
An hour later he was still waiting for Ken and Davis, scratch that, looking at his digivice it was almost two hours now. He had started sipping his coffee and was eating an energy bar, while his partner was eating a muffin that the little digimon just had to have, when Tai had gotten his coffee. Sighing he leaned against the cold bench back his eyes partly closing as he stifled a yawn. The wind began to blow a gentle, but chilling breeze, causing the leaves to be scattered around, that was when voices reached his ears.
"Ha! I told you Ken he would still be here"
"Yes your right, but still it's rude to keep your friends waiting."
"He'll get over it."
Agumon stirred by Tai's side as he waved a greeting to the two boys running up to meet them with their digimon not too far behind. "Tai" He asked.
The brown haired boy opened his eyes fully and shook his head a little, taking another drink of his coffee. "About time you two got here, what took so long" He asked the two panting boys.
Neither didn't say anything at first as the both sat down on the bench across from Tai as Davis took Ken's hand their fingers intertwining. The leader felt a slight surge of something unknown but he ignored it waiting for an answer. "I'm sorry Tai, I got your email, then went over to Davis's house to wake him up as soon as I could. The problem is that he sleeps like a rock, it wasn't an easy task." He blushed slightly, and then continued. "Anyway I had to tell him of your message a few times to get it through clearly. Then we couldn't get a ride from anyone in the family and had to walk here." Ken answered.
"So Tai what was this urgent message you had to tell us, couldn't it have waited until later on today? Or at least until we gathered everyone else for a meeting" Davis questioned yawning loudly, which made Ken nudge him in the ribs with his elbow.
That was when Tai's eyes became serious and his voice low. "What I'm about to tell you both, doesn't pass beyond us three and our partners. Is that agreed" He asked staring intently at the two.
They both nodded and Davis's sleepy expression became deadly serious as he recognized the tone of the conversation. "What exactly is this about Tai?
The other sighed trying to think of what to say so he put aside his coffee, to he rub his temples with his free fingers. "I'm not exactly sure where to start..." He muttered to himself though the others heard.
"How about you tell them about the dreams first Tai" Agumon suggested as he watched his partner with concern.
"Dreams" Ken echoed confused.
"Yeah. Thanks buddy." He muttered brown eyes turning towards the dark haired boy. "This mostly concerns you Ken, after all you were the one he wanted in the first place." At that comment the former digimon emperorer's eyes widened with shock. "Yes you know who I'm taking about. Lately I've been having horrific nightmares about Daemon returning and seeking vengeance on us and taking over the Real World." That got gasps from both boys as Tai continued his eyes filling with slight pain. "I emailed Gennai about it and only received a response from him today. It seems that my dreams were correct Daemon is coming back, when that answer is uncertain. Just that large amounts of energy is radiating from the Dark Ocean. Also that Gennai has uncovered an ancient prophecy that told of four that would be able to stand against Daemon and his evil." Tai muttered and paused.
"Who would those four be" Veemon asked curious.
"It would be me, Ken, Davis, and Willis." Tai answered calmly.
"Why us" Davis demanded.
"I'm not sure, from what I've been told the prophecy is confusing and Willis is doing his best to decipher it as we speak. We don't have a lot of time on our hands; in two days a Digital Gate will be open waiting for us. We must go to it and enter the Digital World, which means we will have to leave the Real World for a long period of time, months, maybe even years..."
"What we can't do that! Besides why can't we just stay here, I mean we have two mega digimon after all" Davis exclaimed.
"One." Tai corrected. "Only WarGreymon, if you two haven't forgotten it was Gatomon's tail ring that made it able for all of you younger digidestined to DNA digivolve. The thing is, she has it back so that alternative is blocked. You will have to learn from scratch, which means I will probably have to train you two, along with Willis in the Digital World. There is no other way and I'm sorry, but being a digidestined should come first above everything else." He answered.
There was a very long silence as the boys thought about the situation carefully; finally it was Ken who broke the silence. "Can we tell anyone where we are going"
"No, Gennai said it is best for us and everyone not to tell them. We have to pack up and disappear just like that. I know all of our families will be worried, scared even, but for you Ken you have absolutely no choice, since you are Daemon's main focus. I have too, because it's my duty as a digidestined. Davis the choice is yours, but make it now."
Davis looked thoughtful for the longest time as he stared off into space, but that was when he felt someone squeeze his hand. Turning he met his boyfriend's blue eyes with his brown, and saw reflected in them that Ken wanted him to come. Not just because of some stupid prophecy, but because he would miss him terribly. Sighing Davis closed his eyes knowing his answer already even if it meant abandoning everything he held dear. Suddenly he paused as he squeezed Ken's hand back, he wouldn't be loosing everything, and his love would be there. "I'll come." He muttered reopening his eyes. "Though we have to tell Ken's parents."
"Why" Tai asked.
"Well as you said it Ken is Daemon's prime focus, don't you think that he might go after Ken's family too and hold them hostage? They should be warned." Davis said his voice determined.
"I didn't think about that, but your right, they would have to move immediately, pack up everything and go." Tai muttered looking thoughtful. "I'll leave it up to the both of you to tell them, hopefully there are some relatives they can go visit for a time. Okay, here's the deal, no contact in two days, I'll email you two hours before sunset on the second day, I expect you both to be packed and ready to go by then. Agreed" Tai said his tone serious as he put out his hand.
Davis and Ken immediately put their hands over Tai's outstretched one. "Agreed." They both said at once.
"Be prepared you two for a final battle that will take every part of us to defeat." The brown haired teen said, his eyes determined on their future goal. The other two nodded, then as one they split apart, Tai picking up his coffee and turned heading back to his car, Agumon not far behind him. Ken and Davis turning the opposite way holding their partner's, as they headed towards the Subway.
It was time for the final battle that will bring forever peace to the Digital and Real World, and destiny has placed that trust in the hands of Courage, Kindness, Miracles, and Fate. It is their duty, birthright to vanquish the darkness once and for all.
OooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOO
