Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon or the Digimon V-Tamers manga.

A/N: Yeah I re did this chapter. Changed a few things, added more dialogue and such.

Some of characters' dub names will be their nicknames, that's if they make sense, otherwise I won't put it in. Daisuke can't be called Davis, since I like that name better his dub name? Takeru... well look at his name. Takeru Takaishi. Either I will call him Tak-tak or T.K.

Taichi... obvious you take out the chi.

Izzy will be Koushirou's nickname as well as Kari for Hikari.

I don't really like the name Matt. So he'll be keeping his original name. The original timeline was 3 years after the first adventure. I believe everyone was a year younger than they were. I think Saban made Tai and the others 12 instead of 11.

-Takenouchi apartment January 3, Monday. 4:30 pm

Sora entered her home after a long day at school. Nothing exciting happened had happened recently. Actually that was wrong. The only exciting and dangerous thing was that a megalomonster tried to blanket both the real and digital worlds in darkness. People had been talking about it. Some people thought it was some new form of an eclipse and scientist were baffled. Others were becoming aware of digimon more and more every day. She didn't really care, all that mattered was that the existence of digimon was somewhat known. She didn't really have the need to think about it right now. Tai and the others insisted that when the time came, they will tell them the truth about the digital world. Not until Azulongmon freed his brothers from their trapped states and also if people would be trusted with this information. Sora knew for a fact that if humans had access, then they would try to exploit it as much as possible.

She sighed as she went to her room, placed her books on the floor, and discovered an envelope on her bed. She was just about to plop down and read the Ruruoni Kenshin manga she loved so much. Her mother must've left the letter. She picked it up and discovered the letter was mailed from France.

"Huh? Who could this be?"

She ripped open the letter and read it. After a closer examination she picked her head up. Her eyes sparkled in delight. A close friend of hers sent her a letter, directly to the flower shop. Her eyes lingered at the bottom where an e-mail address was located. She sped to her computer, logged on and begin typing her response.

"Dear Rei."

-May 24, 2003, Saturday. 5:00pm

Five months after defeating Belial Myotistmon, 2 months after vanquishing Armageddonmon. Things have quieted down and the public's opinion seem to have forgotten and everyone continued on with their lives.

-Kamiya household living room-

Taichi Kamiya was sitting on the couch and watching T.V.. He was minding his own business. Lately he had been thinking about life beyond his room. Beyond the battles he had partaken. He had just came back from the digital world and after a tough fight he came back home. Exhausted.

Something else was on his mind. He remembered five months ago on Christmas when Sora and Yamato started dating.

He was happy for them, but felt like he lost a friend. Nah, he didn't he felt his heart shatter at the image of the two of them hand in hand, but he got over it by concentrating on other things.

That didn't mean they stopped being friends. Yamato knows that and didn't care when she hung out with him. Tai felt lonely; sure there were other girls at school. He was the captain of the soccer club so that would be a plus on the girl factor. In Feburary, it faded like a distant memory, but when Valetnine's day happened he had recieved a few chocolates from girls who admired him.

The dates he went on were a few and didn't have lasting impression. They barely had anything in common. He was soccer jock, an athlete. That's all some cared about. Some of his dates talked what were happening in the dramas and what kind of hip new thing is happening in the world.

He didn't care about that. They were too shallow for his taste and the smarter ones tended to be more mature or didn't find his hair to be too fashionable. At least Mimi was smarter; the last conversation they had involved with was the mating ritual of penguins.

There was another thing. His partner in crime and good buddy, Agumon. He didn't know if they would be tolerable of him or any of the other digital partners.

On a neurtal side, he will be in High school next April. No longer will he be the top dog. No longer looking down at the freshmeat. No, he will be fresh meat. A newbie to the older crowd. It wasn't going to be bad, but sometimes he hated taking orders from others. That's life.

Tai sat at the table drinking his glass of lemonade. He loved it and summer was just around the corner. His plans included hanging out with his friends and maybe going into the digital world.

The door opened, revealing his sister, Hikari 'Kari' Kamiya and his mother, Yuuko Kamiya. The two females of the Kamiya clan entered the room with a bag of groceries.

"Hey brother what's up?" Kari greeted in friendly manner

"Nothing. While I was with Agumon in the digital world we discovered a new alternate Mega form for him. He became a new digimon called VictoryGreymon"

Tai and Agumon encountered a Darkdramon who wanted a fight. Agumon warp digivoled straight to Mega to protect his partner. As the battle went on, the digimon proved to me more than he can handle. Both of them didn't want to give up nor let this guy pick on other digidestned who were new to protecting the digital world. Through a sheer force of will and courage, WarGreymon performed a evolution manuver called, 'slide evolution'.

"WarGreymon slide digivolution... VictoryGreymon"

The new warrior nearly had the same armor as his previous form. The gear he lacked was the shoulder and wrist gauntlets. His new shoulder gear and wrist gauntlets were chunkier and gold. His helmet was better designed, pointier, sharper, and there was a gold color on the back. The horns on the helmet were little bit longer and pointer. His dramon claws were gone. The Brave Shield was converted into aerial plated wings so he could become a better areal fighter. His long missing claws were replaced by a large sword known as the Dramon Breaker. The blade was silver looking and the bottom part of the handle was gold.

"With quick effort he sent Darkdramon packing. I left him back in the digital world. Azulongmon called for him."

After, the threat of BelialMyotistmon, Azulongmon freed the rest of his guardian beast brothers and gave the children access to the ultimate and mega level through their digital cores. Finally, they can evolve to their respective levels again. Daisuke, Ken, Miyako, and Iori will have to train their digimon to evolve to their new levels instead of fusing their partners together. Imperialdramon was needed again for Diaboromon so it was necessary for Wormmon and Veemon to combine once more.

Veemon would have to train a certain way and perhaps venture into a hostile environment to achieve the form of the massive dragon.

"Izzy is coming by later."

His mother started taking food out of the bag. "Oh? Koushirou is coming? He may like my famous red beet milkshake."

Both children felt their stomach turn into a knot. Their mother still hadn't gotten over the food invention craze. Sure she made normal foods, but the woman will give to her mad scientist desire twice a week. She's not a bad cook. There were recipes that were really good and others were tasteless and bland. Mrs. Kamiya had belief that one must try something different everyday to ensure their sanity. Whoever said that was a moron.. or so Tai believed.

"I almost forgot," She reached toward the mail lying on the counter and handed him a yellow letter.. "This came for you from France."

"France?" Kari formed a sly grin. "Is it from Catherine?"

"I doubt it, she's around your age."

"You kissed her on the cheek with TK

"A spur in the moment, hat boy reminded me of Yamato. So why not?"

"A game? Stupid Tai."

"If it was her the chances of her knowing my address are slim. In fact she probably would've sent Gilligan the letter first and me second."

"We all exchanged e-mail addresses months ago." She folded her arms. "If she wanted to contact us she would sent a message to our D-terminal."

"True, so it's not her. Has she been talking to Daisuke recently?"

"What does that even mean? She's been sending e-mails to the lot of us. More so to Miyako and Mimi than him."

Tai smiled deviously. "Then you have nothing to worry about. If T.K. asks you out be sure he sees me. He can sign a consent form."

The girl narrowed her eyes. If looks could kill, then he would be dead ten times over. "That's not funny Tai, we're just friends."

Tai smirked. "Ha, ha." A previous thought came to mind. "You guys have been getting close to her. Which one is it? Gogglehead or the hat boy."

"I don't know. She can access the digital world ever since Gennai and the Guardian Beast upgrade all of your digivice to open the gate."

That was true, the older kids and those with the standard digivice couldn't travel between worlds unless there was a D-3 user present. With their power, the holy beast gave the rest of the destined the ability to open digi ports.

Tai tore open the side of the envelope and immediately took out the letter to read. His eyes scanned the contents, his eyes widen as he read feverishly. "Dude."

"Huh, what's wrong?"

"This letter is written in French! I don't understand French, what kind of person would write me a letter in Fr-...oh wait here's some Japanese. "

Both females facefaulted Panic averted… until.

"WHAT!"

"Is there Italian in there too?" chided the child of light.

"No," He waved the letter in front of their faces. "In fact this letter is from a friend ours. Sora met her too. Does the name Saiba ring a bell?"

His mom smiled. "Oh! The Saiba family. I haven't seen them in 5 years."

The young Kamiya smirked. "Did Rei write the letter. I seriously doubt her brother Neo would take his precious time to write you a letter. You two hated each other.

"Rei wrote to me. She's moving from France to here. She signed up for the international Student Exchange program plus she has a scholarship. She's coming back here while that no good brother of hers is staying there. THIS IS AWESOME! I have to call Sora and tell her the good news. No, I have to buy a cake."

"That's a little overdoing it brother."

"Overdoing it? That's where you are wrong. I do it. Not under or over. Just do it."

"When will she be here?"

"Next week, man this is so awesome. Prodigious as Izzy would say," He chugged the last of the lemonade and took out his D-Terminal. He noticed an unread message from Izzy. "Hmm… oh Izzy says Mimi is moving back in two weeks. Wait what? She is? That's even better. All our friends are returning Kari. Hmm. I wonder if should by some cake to celebrate. You know what they say, nothing taste better than cake."

"No one says that. Key-lime pie is better."

"Yeah... Seriously, we should throw a party or something. Make them feel at home. I can show Rei the digital world."

"I don't know… what if she doesn't like it. What if she changed too much?"

"We won't know until that bridge has been crossed. Believe me.

Kari smiled, but a thought struck her. She walked over and read the letter. "Why was everything in French before?"

"She was klutzy from the last time I saw her, which was years ago so who knows how much she has changed since then. She probably wrote it in French first without thinking, and then switched it back to Japanese as soon as she realised her error."

"So she's a female version of you now?"

"Hey, she probably isn't. Are you sure you aren't interested in TK?

"Taichi... no never mind. Just make sure you keep your hair tomorrow." She smiled evily and went to her room.

Tai blinked in response. "Um.. should I be worried?"

His mother shrugged. "Don't worry about it. It's not like she'll appear with a huge pair of scissors."

Tai covered his hair, thinking about that gave him chills down his spine. He immediately took his d-terminal and sent Sora a message about Rei and Mimi coming back. He hit send. He turned on the Television to watch an episode of Gundam. He grinned as he continued to watch, then he D-Terminal beeped. He read the message.

Tai,

I know about Rei and Mimi coming back. Both of them told me. Rei sent mail months ago and we started chatting online to catch up. I'm excited Tai and so is Rei. She can't wait to see you again. :)

Sora

Tai looked up from his the terminal and grinned. "Looks like things are looking good after all

-Izumi household, Koushirou's room-

Koushirou Izumi, nicknamed Izzy by his friends, sipped his lemonade as he read the e-mail sent from Mimi from his D-terminal. He was excited for her to come back home. If there was one thing he didn't like it was his friends being too far away. In his opinon, it was better for them to be close. The bearer of knowledge had felt that her parents were too protective over her. The digimon in New York should have been a sign that nowhere was safe.

"That's wonderful news." The teen blinked and noticed his partner on the computer screen. He had forgotten that he was keeping a status update.

"Thanks MegaKabuterrimon, how are things going in the Northern sector?"

"Great, VictoryGreymon and Angewomon managed to stop a smuggling operation. No harm done. Zudomon reported that a few Numemon are going to play pranks on the Sukamon. Their ongoing rivalry is insane. They want to know who is the top poop thrower."

Izzy face faulted. "Please tell me you are joking?"

"I wish I was. The pink sludge wars are about to erupt soon. No prisoners Koushirou, no prisoners," He shivered and went back on topic. "MagnaAngemon and MetalGarurumon are meeting with Carnationmon. Lilymon requested... well she nagged them to go over there and enjoy a free lunch with her new best friend. The others are at File Island."

"File Island? I thought Veemon was training with Piximon?"

"He was. He is resting for a bit. The reason he is over here is because, Daisuke and Jyou are here."

"Why are they there?"

"Jyou heard about a few Koromon being injured in a skirmish between two Monochromon and came here. Akylomon is keeping watch while Zudomon is away. Daisuke... he's just sitting on a hill."

"Why?"

"I don't know. Something must have upset him. XV-mon told me not to worry about it, but we'll keep an eye on him."

"Keep me posted."

"Will do, beetle out."

The window screen cut out. Izzy got up, chugged the last of his lemonade and head out of his room. Mimi was on his mind again. He had last seen her during Armageddonmon's attack in March. She randomly came into the computer room and no one informed him beforehand. Upon seeing her he wasn't really happy since his mind was too focused dealing with that particular crisis. He didn't mean to act rude as he did to her, but the fate of the world was at stake. If it was between her and both worlds, saving the worlds comes first.

After that they decided to keep in touch more. In fact during her stay the two of them went to a diner and had lunch. It was fun and they gotten to know each other a little more. They hardly talk before that, but during that time his heart kept skipping beats when she was talking. When it was his turn to talk he started stuttering, before saying what he wanted to say

The way she talked, the way she looked, how she cared about those around her. He admired that.

She was always very sincere on how she felt about people. Before Sora and Miyako dragged her away, she looked back at him and said. 'See ya next time Kou'

Kou.

Everybody always called him Izzy or Koushirou. Rarely anybody called him Kou. That day his feelings started to increase, but he suppressed them. He didn't want to get into a long distance relationship. He also had no idea how she felt. Sure she respected him more, but that was friendship. Could they be more?

He smacked his head. "Enough Koushirou. Time to head to Tai's apartment."

-digital world. Sunhill village 7:00pm-

"So he's been here all this time?"

Jun Motomiya, Takeru 'TK' Takaishi and Ken Ichijouji stared at the boy sitting under a tree on a hill. Daisuke Motomiya gazed at the scenery without some kind of care in the world. The ones who informed them about his whereabouts were XV-mon and Aquillamon. They two of them decided to get Jun for sisterly love….. despite the two of them having spats every now and then. She was obsessed with love, he liked adventure.

Just being here made her feel a bit uncomfortable. She noticed the large blue dragon gazing over toward her.

"Are you uncomfortable?" the blue dragon asked

"Huh?" The girl blinked. "Nah, I'm peaching Veemon."

"That's XV-mon."

"You don't look to Extreme for me, it doesn't feel hat creative like Aquillamon, Angemon, or METALGARURUMON!"

A dark cloud hanged over the bipedal dragon as he got on his hand and knees as the atmosphere started to get dark and depressing.

"I… I'm not EXTREME!"

Aquillamon coughed and patted his friend. "There there."

Realizing what she did, she ran over and kissed him on the cheek. "But you are still one tough cookie."

"Aint the truth!"

He stood tall as the sun shined brightly the background. He flashed a toothy grin and gave thumbs up.

Everyone sweatdropped.

"Talk about a Mood swing." whispered Ken.

"His ego had been destroyed and rebuilt in a matter of seconds." Chuckled the blonde. "That's XV-mon for ya."

"Come on you two, I want to snap this kid out of his funk." She marched toward the hill

"You two do that, we'll be over there." XV-mon said as he and his feathered friend went to where someone was making carpets.

The bird raised a brow. "Why would you be interested in carpet?"

"Carpet? I thought he was making a cape, do you know how cool I would look with a cape?"

Aquillamon sighed. "Do you still want one?"

"Nah, not interested."

"Ignoramus" The avian sighed.

The duo looked up and saw Garudamon flying overhead. The sudden breeze caused Daisuke to sneeze. He snorted and continued to look on. Jun climbed up the hill and approached the boy. She folded her arms and frowned. "Hey bonehead, a penny for your thoughts?"

"Nah, fish lips. I'm just peachy."

"Serious bro what's eating you?"

"Nothing, can't a guy have quiet time without a nosey sister wondering?"

"Nosey? Why you."

"Jun," The bearer of hope and the former emperor approached siblings after climbing the hill. "That's kind of enough alright?" He walked over and sat down next to Daisuke. "You sure you are fine?"

"Never better Gilligan."

"… Okay." He said a bit annoyed. "Just come back before 3 hours are up or I'm not coming back."

"That was a joke?"

"Maybe, but you should get off your butt come with us. We can get that Mint Berry Shake at Digitamamon's diner."

"Maybe."

Ken focused on the gogglehead. "Are you okay Dai?"

"Never better."

"Seriously, you can tell us if something is wrong."

"Nothing is wrong. If there is anything wrong I'll tell you."

Jun looked on with a frustrated look. "Are you going to tell us now?"

"Not yet, I just need to stay here for a bit. I'll come back home when I'm ready."

"This isn't like you," TK analyzed his goggleheaded friend. "Did someone make fun of the rock start stunt you pulled off a month ago?"

"No, it's not that. Even if was that, they seemed to have forgotten and moved on to the kid who threw up in front of the teacher."

"Ew? That happened?" the older sister was disgusted at what she just heard.

TK nodded. "Yeah, I heard about that."

"I'm your older sister. I am supposed to look out for you in case you do something really stupid."

"Then sit here with me for a while. We'll go home afterwards."

"Fine!" She sat down on his left, crossed her arms and grumbled something non-charismatic. Ken looked at the three of them sitting by the tree and decided to join them. With three people added to his spot the gogglehead seemed to be a little annoyed, but all feelings of that vanished. He still wondered about that dream he had. The more he sat the more annoyed he got. He had to tell them now. TK was right, this wasn't like him.

"Every four nights I keep getting these strange nightmares."

"SEE that wasn't so bad!" the sister scolded.

Daisuke scowled at her. "Anyway, these nightmares aren't that good. There's New York and it's all sunshine and rainbows in the beginning. Next thing I know it's covered in some kind dark cloud with red eyes eyes glaring from above. Then I woke up."

Ken narrowed his eyes. "I don't like the sound of this."

The bearer of hope's nodded. "Sounds like trouble."

"That's it? Is there more?"

"Well, it gets clearer and clearer every 4 nights since mid April. They've been bothering me."

"We should alert the Chosen of New York. Mimi and the others should be aware of this."

"Yeah, but it feels like I need to be there. I don't know when this is happening. I can't just head to New York and stay there, I have soccer practice."

"And school," June reminded. "Don't forget about that."

"Yeah, school," He said with sarcasm. "Silly me."

"Don't worry about it right now," TK stood up. "We'll figure we too later after inform the others. Do you feel better?"

"Yeah, I have load off my chest."

"Glad my little bro is back to his usual self."

"YEAH!" He got up. "Let's get some pizza!"

Jun smirked. "Fine, I'll treat the three of you to one."

The other two boys nodded in agreement, but they still would need to alert their international friends about the impending danger.

A/N: I have decided to use fictional places since I don't want to research every street, every corner and every nook and crany of japan. Pretend Japan is bigger, but still a small country, than usual in this fiction world where digital monsters exist.

So if there's a going to be some place that doesn't exist it means I want some them do something with hijinks involve. If there is a city called Yagoto then there is a city called that. Blah

What is jogress? It's not in the dictionary. It's combination of two words called Joint Progress. Similar to fusion or DNA digivolve. It's what japan uses for two digimon combining instead of DNA digivolve.

American high schools are different from Japanese high schools.

Elementary: K-6. Middle/Junior high: 7-9(They call it 1st year-3rd year) High: 10-12(Sophomore doesn't exist. So it's Freshman, Junior and Senior.)

Their new school year begins in the beginning of April and ends in March. To some kind of degree.

There was a C.D. Drama in Japan about Daisuke trying out different costumes on Valentine's Day to get candy from girls. Ken got his Digimental/Digi egg of Kindness. Jyou ran into the younger destined, mixing up their digi eggs without them noticing. They discovered that they can use another person digi egg to evolve into different digimon.

Speaking of Digimentals. Digital Elementals

I have
