Prologue
Only
one year had pasted since MaloMyotismon had been defeated, and all was
calm. The Chosen, both the older and
younger Odaiba ones, had settled down and continued on with their lives. Koushiro constantly kept contact with the
DigiWorld however to maintain a watchful eye, just in case. He also maintained
his relationship with Lillymon (and all her Digivolutions). That was easier since he knew how to get
there from anywhere. Mimi also
understood that Lillymon split her time between the two of them. Ken and his family had moved into the
neighborhood so Ken might actually get to be more social. This pleased his parents immensely. Ken found that the group had become his best
friends, Daisuke especially. Their
DigiMon combing helped that bond grow greatly.
Since Daisuke lost Hikari to Takeru, Ken was his only outlet. Ken was glad to have a friend that trusted
him as such. Iori buckled down and began
training with the fundamentals of Kendo so as too strengthen his mind and
body. The whole ordeal has aged this
young one beyond even the aging affects that occurred amongst the first
generation of the Odaiba Chosen.
Daisuke and Takeru had constantly fought over Hikari's affection among
other things, but Daisuke, as stated previously stated, lost. Those two were just inseparable. He sought comfort in Ken, but Ken couldn't give
him what he wanted. Miyako heard about
it from Ken and gave Daisuke what he wanted.
Daisuke had a developed a great relationship with Miyako, make no
mistake, he just felt he couldn't handle a serious relationship right now. Miyako understood, or so she thought. Something was troubling her lately. Taichi and Yamato both vied for Sora's
affections but Tai got that one. This
of course meant that Yamato and Sora had broken up. Tai and Sora were at the
age where an engagement was acceptable, so they did. Yamato knew for a while he was gay, but never told anybody. Until one fateful day where Taichi forced it
out of him. He had a lot to think about
still. His band was doing well, but
still needed that contract. Jyou had
moved onto the medical program. His
father was very explicit in Jyou's life.
Even his love life. Speaking of
his love, Mimi, how could he even tell her?
She wouldn't understand. Mimi
wanted to go back to her friends had applied herself and graduated in good
standing. This allowed her to go
anywhere she pleased. Choosing a
University in Japan near them, she moved back to Japan. All this to be close to the one she thought
she loved, Jyou. And she couldn't even
tell him. These Chosen had complicated
personal lives indeed.
Every
so often they would meet and talk of old times and have a laugh or two. Their partners would switch back and forth
between the two worlds. Such was the
bond of the Chosen and their partners.
Even the partners had developed their own relationships. This of course came from their Chosen's
lives, as they were a reflection of them.
Most of the DigiMon had better understanding of what they wanted
though. Tailmon, Hikari's partner,
chose Patamon, Takeru's partner, as her mate.
Piyomon, Sora's partner, was married to Agumon, Taichi's partner, well
married as DigiMon can be. Gabumon
remained a loner from the whole relationship thing. Palmon (Lillymon) of course had Koushiro. Gomamon, Jyou's partner too was a
loner. Veemon, Daisuke's partner, was a
bit of a ladies man, after Tailmon rejected him. Hawkmon, Miyako's partner, was not interested in relationships
right now, neither was Armamon, Iori's partner. Ken's partner, Wormmon never even gave it a thought. He was just like that, only spending time
with Ken and the other Chosen's Digimon.
These Digimon were, time and again, the most powerful. With the discovering of combining, they only
got stronger. Each Rookie level (their
forms I just described, except Tailmon) was as powerful as most Champion levels
(next level). Some, like Agumon,
Gabumon and Tailmon were as strong as Ultimate (The next level.). The next
stage was Mega. Very few Digimon reach
that level. Another way was
Armour-volving. That was a special
case. Even fewer can Armour-volve. Patamon, Tailmon, Veemon, Hawkmon, and
Armamon are the only ones that can. The
final method of Digi-volving was DNA, or combining. By taking two Digimon, the process combined them into a more
powerful form of the next level. Except
for the ones that could go Mega. Like
MegaImperialDramon. This method made a
special bond between the Digimon, and if they had partners, them as well. They enjoyed spending time with their
Chosen. Takeru and Hikari are special
cases. They have the crests of Light
and Hope, so they are needed for most of the generations. These second generation's partners had been
staying in the DigiWorld here a lot lately.
Tailmon went back to have a child.
A DigiEgg more like it. So they
were not there as often either. However
they made sure to come back as often as possible at the gatherings. One such Gathering is the start of our tale.
