Just Like it Was

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, just the new characters, Sakura, Irekes, Tairo, Symos, and Umparomon… ( I own something!!

This is a story about the Dark Masters coming back. It has all of the old characters from seasons one, and two in it, along with their children! It takes place about 20 years after season 02…and here…is Part One!! R&R!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I just don't get it. Why does she have to go all over the place with her

friends all the time? I must admit, it is with Irekes, but even he isn't

that good of a friend to her, is he? She is only 12...

*turning to his daughter* "Sakura, as your father, I

must say that you can't go anywhere today with your friends," announced

a very tired TK.

"You just don't get it! You're a worse dad than Mr. Kamiya!! I have to

go someplace with Irekes!! We have to go...and do something important!!"

exclaimed Sakura.

"What is it that you have to do? Tell me and maybe I'll let you go."

How can I tell my father that I'm a Destend? That's something I'm SURE he

never was!! He wouldn't understand!!

"Listen, dad, I'm...I'm a...a...a..

A Destend, and I know that you don't know what that is, but..."

"A Destend! Sakura, you're only 12...but then..I have something to tell

you, too," TK started off. "Your mother and I, well, we used to be

Destend too...with Digimon, my partner...Patamon, I haven't seen him in

years...I became Destend when I was six, so did your mother. What do you

have to do? What's so important?"

"Well, um, we have to go save the Digital World...YOU were a Destend!!

Aren't you ALWAYS a Destend once you become one?" asked Sakura.

"I guess. I still have my vice...I didn't want you knowing about all of

this...Matt, and Tai, and Sora, and Mimi, and Izzy, and Joe, and Kari...

your mother, and I defeated the Dark Masters years ago."

"The Dark Masters? Are they Piedmon, and...they're back."

"Back!? Listen, maybe if I can find everyone else, we can go get them,

again.."

"Listen, dad, it's up to me and my friends, it's not you anymore. You're

too old to be a Destend! It's up to me and Irekes, Tairo, and Symos. Not

you, dad. And how am I supposed to believe that you were one? Well? I'm

waiting for an answer!!...Listen, I have to go! Me and Umparomon have to

leave. It's urgent! Listen, dad, this isn't just some stupid TV show,

like that series on TV about those Destend...It's not like you're one!

How can you just say the names of the characters on TV, dad? You don't

understand!!" Sakura yelled. Then she walked right out the door, a visible

Umparomon right behind her.

How am i supposed to tell her about all of my past friends? Maybe she is

right, though. Maybe it's up to her now. But, something just doesn't feel

right.Maybe I should dig up my old vice, and follow her along with her

friends.I don't think she knows what she's up to. The Dark Masters...they took

off with me. How much I hate the darkness! What am I supposed to do now?

Maybe I should phone Hikari...no, she's at work. Who knows, maybe she

knows what's going on. I need some answers...

`ring, ring, ring`

"Hikari, listen..did you know that Sakura's a Destend?"

"Like -us-?! Takeru, how did you find out? I didn't know!!"

"She, she said that the Dark Masters are back..."

"The DARK MASTERS!!! I'll be home as soon as I can..."

`click`

Now, to call Tai and the others...

`ring, ring`

"Tai, it's impossible!"

"What's impossible?"

"Sakura just told me that the Dark Masters are back!"

"She DID?!"

"Yes, and Irekes is in with it.."

"Irekes!! My own son? Is there anyone else she mentioned?"

"Yes, she mentioned Tairo and Symos. They're all Destend..."

"Tairo's Matt's kid! And isn't Symos Ken's kid?"

"Yeah, that's right...this is a nightmare...get everyone that you can

think of...all of us old Destend. If our kids are in the Digital World

right now..."

"What were they THINKING? That's a job only experienced Destend can do!"

"Well, my question is how long have they been Destend? It could've been

years!"

"That's true. I'll call up Yolei, Joe, and Cody...You can call up

Izzy, Davis, and Matt, k?"

"Ok. Tell them to meet at my place, as soon as possible."

"See you then."

`click`

After they had called everyone, Tai came straight to TK's place. It may

have been almost twenty years since they last saw their partners, but

that won't stop them now. Even now, if the Digital World is in trouble,

they'll all be there to help, as much as they can.

"So, what are we supposed to do about all of this? I did find my old

DigiVice, but I wonder if it still works. I wonder if Agumon is still

there, in the Digital World, or if he's gone again."

"I don't know. I wonder if Patamon's there, too, but that's not really

what everyone's coming for, right? It's not just a reunion for all of the

former Destend. Sure, it'll be great to see them again, we really

haven't been keeping in touch, but aren't we all reuniting because the

Digital World's in danger? And that if the Dark Masters are back, that

they might be even more powerful than before and the two worlds can merge

and be destroyed?"

"That could be true...I guess that we should all be concerned for that as

well as for our children. But, how are we supposed to stop them? If

they're the new Destend, shouldn't we just leave them be? We were fine in

the Digital World however many years back..."

"But that's the whole thing, we were in the Digital World! If the Digital

World is like it used to be, than all of the good Digimon can be

trapped in the Dark Master's spell, and chaos can erupt. Our children are

in danger! True, they're the new chosen ones, but from my point of view,

we should be protecting our kids! If our parents would've been past

Destend, wouldn't they have followed us around, too?"

"Wait a second, follow them around? Is that what you two wanted everyone

here for?" asked a very confused Mimi.

"Actually.." started Joe. "I think that that's a good idea. That way, we

can help protect them if they're in danger!"

"I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to visit the Digital World just to see

what's going on, though. That might be a good idea. And, if they're in

trouble, then we can help them," stated Izzy. "It wouldn't be a bad idea

to meet up with Tentomon again after all of these years. But, we don't

want to just start battling, do we? Really, though. I don't want to

ruin their reputation as the new Destend. They have a life, too. Could

you imagine what we would've been like if our parents would have just

come in and taken care of Devimon, and the Dark Masters for us?"

"Hey, that's a good point, Izzy," Ken stated. "I'd really like to see

Wormmon again, too...why don't we see if our vices still work?"

"Yeah! Let's go to the Digital World!! Does everyone have their

DigiVices?" Davis asked.

So, everyone said yes, and they agreed to go to the Digital World to

greet their old friends. It's like a dream come true for them...but what

awaits them when they get there is terrible. Their partners are all in

cages, Piedmon had captured them and was swinging their cages over the

new Destend's heads.

"TK! You're here! Help us!!" Patamon cried.

"Hello, my friends, it's been a very, very long time! I'm much more

powerful than I ever was. Lookie here, you're old friends are all caught

up in a bit of a cage. Hmmm, what should I do to them?" Piedmon said as

he has a smile of pure evil. He laughs. "Looks like your kiddies here

can't help any. I can destroy them with one little attack. Should I? Or

should I not? Hmmm...Claw of the Dark Warrior!"

Piedmon's new attack is more powerful than anything the Destend had ever

seen. As his attack got closer and closer to the new Destend and their

Digimon, the older Destend all got in front of them. They wouldn't let

anything bad happen to the new chosen ones...and their partners are in

danger too. Could this day get any worse?

So, how was it?
