When the Nefilum come to play.
Chapter 1. Kidnapping

My name is Takato Matsuda. I'm not exactly a normal kid. That is unless you consider becoming a Digimon, and saving the world normal. I am a Digimon Tamer. I am considered a hero to the whole of Japan. I have become the mascot for the tamers. Soon there will be a Manga about an alterative world me. The fight against D-Reaper has given me fame that can rival even Ryo's.

Lets me brief you on what happened. It started. I guess when I drew my red, pyro-projectile dinosaur partner Guilmon, and received my D-Ark. The next day I met my friends Rika Nonako, her fox-like partner Renamon, along with Henry Wong and his quick-mouthed partner Terriermon. We randomly fought for a while, until the Devas arrived. All six of us teamed up with a cream puff named Culumon. Things began to heat up so more tamers joined my friend Jeri Katou teamed up with Leomon to help us out.

The Deva monkey; Makuramon kidnapped Culumon so we all traveled to the Digital World to rescue the little Digimon. My two friends Kazu and Kenta joined us; in a hope of acquiring their own Digimon partners. Yamaki the leader of Hypnos gave us a communication device to keep tabs with our families. We met up with the legendry tamer Ryo and his feral, let's not forget dangerous partner Cyberdramon. Kazu final met his partner Guardromon.

Suzie Henry's little sister entered the Digital World and made a friendship with the rabbit Deva Antylamon. With her new partner Suzie was one of the team. Zhuqiaomon; the Sovereign and the leader of the Devas must of grown tired of losing Devas so he sent Beelzemon to kill us. Beelzemon quickly disposed of Leomon. Guilmon and me avenged Leomon's death by Biomerging into the holy knight Dukemon. After beating Beelzemon we finally came face to face with Zuquiamon himself. Azulongmon arrived and sorted out that there was no intention of taking over our world. To the contrary they needed Culumon to save their world. This began the battle with D-Reaper the greatest threat to humanity. Kenta finally joined forces with his tiny but mighty partner MarineAngemon.

Beelzemon was now fighting for good and with the help of his tamers Ai and Mako, Beelzemon went Blast mode. After a grueling battle with D-reaper and its agents Henry and Terriermon released the full power of the juggernaut to win the battle. Good news? It meant our partners had to go back to their world. In public, our adventures had ended. In reality the adventures of the tamers were only beginning.

It had been an entire year since then. It was after school. Guilmon and I had decided to visit his former home. I was only starting to get used to life with my Digimon again. Guilmon's home was our hangout. We had spent a lot of time together in that location.

We had kept busy in different ways. Besides taking on a berserk train, controlled by an insane parasite, Rika and I hung out more. Guilmon had become Renamon's sparring partner. Guilmon's strength, speed, and accuracy was at least double what it had been when we fought D-reaper. Guilmon thought it was all just a game.

Henry was forced into spending more time with Suzie due to her tendency to use Lopmon and Terriermon as dress up dolls. Ai and Makato had moved to West Shinjinku after the Locomon incident. They had become good friends with Suzie and Jeri's little brother Masuhiko. Kazu and Kenta had stopped hanging around me and spent their time with their idol Ryo. How they got to his house everyday and back is beyond me. When he wasn't promoting his legendary tamer statues he was playing the card game none stop with Kazu and Kenta. I barely saw them anymore. Anyway Jeri and me hadn't really been as close as before. In a way I wish things would go back to normal after D- reaper. I was wishing Jeri would start to talk to me again. Guilmon and I were walking in the park when we nearly passed Jeri.

"Ruff! Thinking hard Takato?" Speaking of whom I had nearly passed her without noticing her. My heart started beating twice as fast. I began to become hyperactive and alert. Jeri she was totally beautiful, not to mention incredibly strong. She had lost a partner. She had been cloned, controlled and tormented by D-Reaper; Jeri managed to conquer her depression and had gotten back to normal. Well almost normal she seemed to hide something, almost no one noticed. Rika had became Jeri's close friend and mentor in Digimon card game. Only Rika and I had noticed her way of distancing herself. I stared at her for two second. I felt like it was too long to stare at her pretty brown eyes, her perfect face ending at silk like red hair. I went to greet her. Guess who's voice cracked. Take your time think. Of course it was mine.

"Hi Jeri!" I practically squeaked. She smiled politely. I was embarrassed, she didn't laugh just to prevent me from feeling bad. This was the first time we had acted like this in a long time.

"Takatomon, why did you go all squeaky? Now your face is all red and sweaty like mine." Guilmon asked innocently. We both laughed. I wished that moment would last forever. Unfortunately it didn't Jeri had became sad again.

"Thinking of Leomon again?" I asked softly. I didn't want to bring up painful memories for Jeri.

"I guess.." she said sadly. "I had a dream this morning, I was talking to him. He told me about." I waited for her to open up to me. "Nothing just forget it Takato. Bye!" She nervously ran away. It was strange she didn't even notice Guilmon now. I wish I could help with whatever kind of problem she had. I had to accept that she was lion hearted. A little bit of Rika had rubbed off on because now she chose to deal with her problems on her lonesome. However, she seemed nowadays to avoid me. I shrugged it off as Jeri doing some sole searching. It took a minute to reach Guilmon's house. It was really a shrine in the park. This is where my story begins.

I stood outside the shed talking with Guilmon. "Guilmon do you think we will ever go back to the digital world?" I asked sadly. Guilmon and I wanted to return to the digital world and relive our first quest as a group. Unfortunately the digital world was now and truly cut off from Earth. Right then I spotted a diginome. The best way of describing them is as a magical wish-granting creature; it looked funny like a clown and a frog. The diginome flew around Guilmon twice then it went into Guilmon's house. Guilmon and I followed. The creature opened a portal into the digital world. It entered and disappeared. It took me 3 seconds to analyze what just happened. A portal was open to the digital world.

"Scratch that, I think we're going to go digital after all." A smile crossed my face. "I got to get the others. I bet Rika is going to flip it." As if on cue I heard her voice.

"Hey goggle head, is that what I think it is?" I turned towards the Digimon Queen. She had managed to sneak up on me. Rika was the only person to call me goggle head. She was a psycho red head with lavender eyes. Renamon floated next to her. The fox was as tall as Guilmon, with purple gloves and yellow fur. Renamon's gloves had the Yin Yang symbol on them. They were over the moon, She and Renamon were warriors and the digital world was their kind of place. I was going to answer her but she screamed urgently at me.

"Takato behind you!" she started to run towards me. I had no time to find out what was going on because now my legs were seized by something that felt like tentacles. Guilmon was total consumed by the tentacles. I had a horrid thought that Dragomon was after me. I was dragged into the portal. I was hopeful that in a few seconds Rika was going to rescue me, Renamon was teleported she would be able to save us in an instant. That was when I crossed into the digital world, the portal closed. Guilmon and I were alone and falling. It all went black after that.
