Chapter 1:
It was a warm sunny day in the city of Odaiba. Currently walking on one of the many streets in the city, were a group of young children known as the Digidestind. They were accompanied by a group of small creatures called Digimons. It had been several months after the children fought an evil digimon known as MaloMyotismon and saved both the Human World and its counterpart, the Digital World. After the battle, digimons had been able to come to the Human World just as humans had been able to come to the Digital World.
"Man, I can't wait for the summer break!" cheered a boy with spiky brown hair wearing a pair of white aviator goggles that had blue tinted lens, a blue jacket that had red and orange flames at the bottom over a black T-shirt and yellow khakis.
"Yeah! We all get to hang out with each other for as long as we want!" said a small blue dragon with crimson eyes that had a yellow 'V' on his head, a yellow marking under each eye and a white abdomen.
"Whoa, cool it you two. We still have one more day of school left" said a blond boy wearing a cream colored Gilligan hat, a yellow and green shirt and green shorts.
"That's right you two. But don't worry, we can all party at my house" said an indigo haired boy wearing a grey shirt and a grey pants.
The brunet and the blue dragon frowned while hanging their heads in disappointment. Everyone laughed at the duo antics as they arrived at their destination, Odaiba Elementary.
They enter through the front gate, but two of their members, a lavender haired girl with big circular glasses wearing a brown beret on her head, a yellow T-shirt, a green shorts and a boy with short brown hair wearing a brown shirt and brown shorts, split up to go to their own classes.
The remaining members of the group head to their class together because they had the same subject. When they enter the class, they went to their usual seats that were near to each other. Soon their teacher, Mr. Hamasaki entered the classroom thus the beginning of the school session.
Later the bell rang signaling lunch break and students got out of their classes to head to the cafeteria. Most of the second generation of Digidestind has already arrived at the cafeteria with their digimons except for Davis, who was trying to stuff his books into his messy locker.
"What's taking Davis so long?" Veemon whined, sitting on the table while staring at the entrance to see any signs of his partner.
"You know how Davis is. I'm quite surprise he find anything in his locker" said a brunet girl wearing a pink and white T-shirt, yellow shorts, pink detachable fingerless gloves that reached her elbows and a camera around her neck, eating with her partner Gatomon by her side.
"Yeah, his locker is like a sea of junk. I wonder why he doesn't throw away some of those things" said another blond boy with azure eyes wearing an unbutton red shirt over a white T-shirt, a cream shorts.
"Look, its Davis!" Veemon cheered, glad that his partner finally made it to the cafeteria.
Davis walks up to the table with his food in hand and sits down next to Kari like usual. "Sorry about being late just now. I had trouble stuff my books into my locker" the goggle boy said, rubbing the back of his head.
"We're not surprise, your locker is filled with useless stuff" Yolie huffed from her seat that was in between Ken and Willis while Hawkmon was eating on some bird food.
"It's not filled with junk! I keep those things as memories of what I've done!" Davis countered, glaring at the lavender haired girl.
"Whatever you say" Yolie shrugged as Ken shakes his head at this.
The Digidestind went back to their classes when the bell rang while their digimons went outside to play, since even though digimons were well known they were not allowed in the classes.
In class, Kari was busy writing down what the teacher wrote on the black board until she notice Davis staring out the window with a thoughtful look on his face. "Davis, are you okay?" she whispered, having never seen her friend look so serious before.
Davis was startle when he heard Kari's voice and quickly forced a smile as he turns towards her. "It's nothing Kari. Just thinking about all the fun we're going to have on summer break" he whispered back, trying to sound carefree and cheery as always.
Even though did not buy Davis act, she still nodded her head and went back to writing down the notes from the black board.
The final bell rang and all the students ran out of their classes, cheering to the heavens. Among the children was the second generation of Digidestind, who met up with their partners at the schoolyard. As the group was leaving the front gate to their school, they bumped into a group of teenagers, the first generation of Digidestind and their digimons.
"Hey, guys! Ready for the best summer break ever?!" said a teenage boy with brown hair that was styled in a crazy fashion wearing a green jacket over a white shirt and green pants.
"Of course we are! We're going to Ken's house to celebrate" TK said excitingly with his fist pumped in the air.
"Can we join in your party?" said a blond teenager wearing the same type of white shirt, green jacket and pants as the brunet.
"Sure you can join! It's a Digidestind and digimon party!" Ken said.
"Hey guys!" called out a voice behind the group.
They all turn towards the source and saw a blue haired young adult wearing a pair of glasses, a blue jacket over a white shirt and blue pants. With the man was a creature that looked like a seal but it had purple markings and orange fur.
"Hey Joe! Are you having summer break too?" asks a girl with orange hair wearing a green jacket and skirt.
"Nah, I have some classes over the summer. It's just happened that I don't have any classes right now" Joe explained.
"That's great! You can come with us to Ken's house to celebrate the first day of summer!" cheered a pinked haired girl wearing a matching jacket and skirt as the red head girl.
"Hey guys, how about we bring some food and drinks of our own when we go there?" suggested a boy with red hair and clothes like the blond and brunet from earlier.
"That's sounds like a great idea! Right everyone?" Tai said.
"Yeah!" everyone cheered.
Suddenly Kari notices Davis standing at the sidelines while reading something from a small device in his hand called a D-Terminal. Something in the message had made the boy look at it with a serious look on his face. "Davis, what's wrong?" Kari asks worried about what the goggle boy was hiding.
"Huh? Oh it's nothing Kari" Davis waved off the issue as he keeps his D-Terminal in his back pocket.
Kari was still suspicious but nodded her head and dropped the subject for now.
Everyone went back home to get changed and to get some food and drinks for the party. Later they walk to Ken's house that was in Odaiba ever since he transferred to Odaiba Elementary.
On their walk there, Kari had been constantly giving worried glance to Davis, who was staring at his D-Terminal very seriously. 'Davis, what are you not telling us?' she asks silently in her head as they were about to reach Ken's house.
Tai was the one that knocked on the door first and when the door opened, the Digidestind were greeted by an excited Ken Ichijouji.
"Hey, guys. Come in" the indigo haired boy said as he moved to the side to allow his friends to enter.
Everyone entered the house and head to the living room. There they saw Ms. Ichijouji watching TV.
"Mom, my friends and I are going to have a party in here in the living room" Ken said politely to his mother.
"I understand, I'll be in the kitchen if you kids need anything" Ms. Ichijouji said as she gets off the couch and heads to the kitchen.
"Okay guys, let's party!" Tai cheered with his hands in the air.
The Digidestind ate snacks, play video games and various party games throughout the party and now they were having karaoke as the last activity of the party with the famous Matt Ishida as the one currently singing.
As everyone was enjoying karaoke, Davis was standing by a window with a soda in one hand and his D-Terminal on the other. He suddenly felt something tugging on his shirt and looked down to see Veemon staring at him with worry clear on his face.
"Davis, what are you doing here? The others are at the living room having a good time" the blue dragon said before jumping onto the window. He turns towards his partner to listen to the brunet's explanation.
"It's…" Davis trailed off as he stares at his D-Terminal then back to his digimon. "Vee, there's something I have to tell you but it has to stay between us okay? I mean the others must not know a single thing, this is our secret" he said with a serious look.
"You can trust me Davis! I'll keep it as our secret!" Veemon said proudly.
"Good. The thing is…" Davis trailed off as he shows the blue dragon the message on his D-Terminal.
Meanwhile, Matt had just finished singing and everyone was cheering and demanding an encore. At that moment, Davis and Veemon, who was on Davis' shoulder, came into the living room. "Guys, I have to go back. It's getting late and my parents want me to go home" the brunet said, standing a minor distance away from the group.
"Okay… Hey remember, we're all going to the beach tomorrow" Tai said with a grin.
"I will" Davis said before leaving the Ichijouji apartment.
The next day Kari, Tai and their digimons had gotten ready for their trip to the beach and since they lived in the same apartment building as the Motomiyas, were going to meet up with Davis and Veemon.
When they got to the apartment, Tai was the one to knock on the door. The door opened and the foursome was greeted by a girl with spiky brown hair wearing a purple T-shirt and grey shorts. "Hey Jun, is Davis and Veemon here? We promised to go to the beach with the other Digidestind" the former leader asks.
"Davis and Veemon didn't come back home last night. Davis said that they would be sleep over with one of you guys" Jun said.
"He said he was sleeping over? But didn't he said that his parents called him and told him to come back home?" Kari asks with her head tilted in confusion.
"But our parents weren't home last night, they were at work and they never call us when their working" Jun said, sounding worried.
"Okay, this is starting to get weird. Where are those two?" Tai asks no one in particular as he puts his hand on his chin.
"I don't know Tai, but I'm starting to get a weird feeling about this. I think we should go tell the others about this" Kari suggested.
Tai nodded in agreement and then they, Jun and their digimons left the Motomiya apartment to go to the park to meet up with the other Digidestind. When they arrive at the park, they could see the others with equipment one would need for a day at the beach.
"Guys, there's something wrong!" Tai called out when they reached the group.
"What's wrong Tai?" Matt asks wearing a black T-shirt and blue shorts.
"It's Davis and Veemon, their missing!".
"Missing? What do you mean?" Ken asks, worried about his best friend and DNA partner.
"What he means is that Davis and Veemon never came back home" Jun explained while trying to not panic. The Digidestind, except Tai, Kari and their digimons, were shocked by the news.
"They didn't go back home?! This is bad! Looks like that day at the beach has to be put on hold guys!" Matt said. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and split up into multiple groups in order to find their missing friend. Later, everyone return to the park to meet up but none of the groups manage to find Davis and Veemon.
"Man, where the hell are those guys? We searched the entire city and still haven't found them" TK groaned in frustration.
"This is horrible! What am I going to tell my parents?!" Jun sobbed with her head in her hands.
"Hey don't worry; we'll continue our search for them tomorrow. We won't give up until their found right guys?" Tai reassured.
Everyone agreed with the former leader and head home to rest, so they can continue their search. On her way back to her apartment with her brother, Kari looks at the sky and thought 'Davis, Veemon, where are you two?'.
(1 year later)
The Digidestind and their digimons are in the Kamiya apartment. No one had seen Davis and Veemon and his family are horribly worried about the duo. They had asks the police and the press to help in the search of their missing son and his partner, but it was all a dead end.
Right now, the group is trying to think of any other place that they might have not yet checked in their search. "It's been a year and we have the police and the press helping us, but we still can't find them! People don't just disappear!" TK growled in frustration from the couch he was sitting on.
"I know what you mean. We even have the other Digidestind around the world looking for them but no one has a clue to where they are" Yolie sighed, lying back on one of the chairs.
"If only we had a clue to where they went" Kari said, sitting next to TK.
Suddenly there was someone knocking very rapidly on the front door. Kari got up from the couch and walks to the door to answer it. When she opens it, she was shocked by what see saw. "Davis, DemiVeemon!" the brunet gasps, taking a step back with her hand covering her mouth.
The Digidestind raced to the front of the house when they heard the names of their missing friends. Once they get there, they too became shocked by what they saw. Outside the door was indeed Davis, but he was unconscious, his jacket was littered with slashes and it had numerous burns on it. His black T-shirt had a large tore at the middle, which had a large wound that was poorly sewed shut behind it and it was burned at the bottom. Also his beloved goggles were cracked and stained with his blood. Davis' face had blood running down the right side of his face, both of his arms and legs. He had a gash under his left eye that ran down to his neck. Finally, the brunet's right shoulder was twisted at a wrong angle, signally that it was dislocated, and his left knee was broken with its bone sticking out.
Underneath the brunet was DemiVeemon, who had apparently carried his partner to the apartment. The blue dragon was in as bad of shape as Davis, he was covered with cuts and bruises and barely conscious. He looked at the Digidestind and pleads "P-Please… H-Help… U-Us…", before collapsing from exhaustion.
