Note- I don't own anything except the children.

Mikey Kudo smiled at the newborn girl in his wife's hands. He couldn't help but feel proud of the child, his heir to the Fusion Fighters.

"What should we name her?" Angie Kudo asked Mikey.

Mikey shrugged. "I thought you had this all planned out Angie."

"What?!" Angie shouted. "I put you on name duty!"

"How about Akane?" Mikey suggested. "It means brilliant red." The girl was really going to be a 'brilliant red'. Her hair was as red as her mother's hair was. The little girl seemed to glow the color red, and Mikey thought it would be fitting for the Fusion Fighter's new head General.

Angie nodded in approval. "Akane is the perfect name Mikey!"

And that is the story of how Akane Kudo came to be named what she is.

12 Years Later

"That is why time moves faster in the Digital World than the real world. Because of this difference..."

Akane sighed. Yuu's lecture on time in the Digital World bored her.

There's only five more minutes, Akane, she reminded herself. Looking to the left, Akane saw her best friend, Aoi Akashi.

To Akane's right was Satoru Amano.

Akane smiled as she heard Yuu dismiss them. Next was Digital World history taught by her Dad.

Mikey and Shoutmon walked into the classroom. "Ok class, today we're talking about the Death Generals."

"Kouki! Wait up!" A pure white Salamon yelled as he chased Kouki Takashi.

"Don't worry Salamon! I'm just going ahead!" Kouki reassured his partner Digimon.

Kouki waved as he passed Tomoko Izumi and her partner Tentomon.

Coming to a halt, Kouki decided to talk to Tomoko. "Hey Tomoko!"

"Kouki! You're going to exhaust yourself!" Tomoko angrily scolded Kouki.

"Alright, maybe I was going too fast, but did you see me?! I must've been going a gazillion kilometers per hour!"

"Gazillion is not and number and it is impossible for a human to go that fast." Tomoko stated.

"You're acting like Katsu and Veemon." Tentomon added.

Katsu Motomiya and his twin sister Katsumi Motomiya lived with their Dad, Davis. Their Mom left them when they were born for unknown reasons.

"That's kind of a compliment to me Tentomon." Kouki grinned the special Takashi grin. Large and goofy.

Miki Akiyama smirked as she finished her opponent off.

"And that is it! Miki Akiyama, the Digimon Princess, has just gained the title of Legendary Tamer!" The announcer boomed.

Miki smiled. Her Mom and Dad always complained about being Legendary Tamers, but Miki was ecstatic.

"You did a great job today, Miki!" Rika praised her daughter.

"If you keep up, you'll be able to beat me or Mom." Ryo smiled.

Miki ate some of her rice. "May I be excused?"

"Sure you can, princess." Ryo nodded. Miki walked towards her room.

Getting out her deck, she studied the cards.

"Legendary Tamer Miki, tame me."

Miki shot up from her cards.

Digital World portals surrounded her. "Who...?"

More cries of plea came from the portals. "Tame...? I just want one strong Digimon!" Miki cried.

A Liollmon walked towards Miki. "So you're the Digimon Princess that's been crowned a Legendary Tamer." He said. "I'm Liollmon!" Doing a bow, he plead, "Please tame me oh Princess."

Miki laughed at the cub. "Sure! As long as my parents are ok with it."

"Of course they're ok with it! I'm one of the Tamer's Digimon's apprentices, and I know Renamon and Cyberdramon!"

"Who are Renamon and Cyberdramon?"

"Your parents partner Digimon!"

"What if Miki gets a Digimon?" Ryo whispered to Rika.

"Don't worry, Ryo. She's capable of handling a Rookie at least." Rika said. "It would be good if she got a Digimon. It'll teach her responsibility."

"But what if she turns into you, Wildcat?"

"She's too kind to turn into me." Rika pointed out. "Let's not worry about it."

Pounding could be heard at the door. Ryo stepped up from dinner to answer it and saw Takato, Jeri, and someone wearing a coat.

"Hey Takato and Jeri!" He greeted. "What brings you two here?"

"Ryo, Guilmon has something to tell you guys." Jeri said as Guilmon took off his hood.

"An apprentice of Renamon and Cyberdramon disappeared! He said he was going to be Princess Miki's partner." Guilmon said. "Takato, who is Princess Miki."

"I told you this already Guilmon, Ryo and Rika's daughter." Takato said.

"We need to know if you've seen any Digimon lately." Jeri said.

"I've not noticed anything, sorry." Ryo somberly shook his head. "You can check her room, though."

"Takato, there's an enemy!" Guilmon said. Running inside the house and up the stairs, Guilmon stopped and waited for Takato to catch up.

"Pyro sphere!" Guilmon blasted Miki's door down.

Ryo looked in the room.

With a surprised gasp, he realised no one was there.
