This will be an Adventure 01 and Xros Wars crossover (too many crosses xD) and will feature a different version of Xros Wars' second arc (the Seven Great Death Generals arc) with Yagami Hikari joining the team.

In this fic, both Taichi and Taiki are 12 (though Taichi wont be much in this one, just mentioned by Hikari here and there) and Kudo Taiki is the cousin of the Yagami siblings, their mothers are sisters. Now that we are done with that, this is clearly after Tactimon's death and, for Hikari, merely a couple of weeks after the final battle with Apocalymon.

Sadly for her, she won't be relaxing anytime soon! Don't worry, Tailmon will still be present ;)

Enjoy (I hope!)

The General Of Light

~ Introduction ~

Yagami Hikari was a small girl of merely eight years but she had already been through a lot of things. Nearly dying a lot of times does that to you. So when her mother told her that she would be spending some weeks at her cousin's place, she was delighted, as that would mean some peace would be present. Taiki had never been a loud person like her beloved brother, after all.

But when she had arrived, Taiki was not there and all her aunt could say was that he was at school. That made her wonder what school would keep their students deep into the night so when the following day emerged, she set out without telling the older woman to find him. What she found instead were a brown-haired boy and a red-haired girl around her cousin's age (their names were Akari and Zenjirou, if she remembered right) and just as she reached to touch the back of Akari's shirt, a strange wave hit the city. And it made her feel ill.

"Huh?" Akari looked down and blinked. "Are you Hikari-chan? Taiki told us so much about you... I ..." she stopped talking when a Digimon in golden armor appeared and began to fight another Digimon that reminded the little girl of samurai, the mythical sword fighters her brother was obsessed with now. That didn't matter though, something was telling her that she had to help that golden Digimon. Oh, where was Tailmon now...?

"We need to get her somewhere safe..." Zenjirou spoke as the 'good' (as she dubbed him) Digimon kicked the samurai-like one into the ground, creating a small crater in the process. The battle was soon over after that and Hikari saw her cousin walking towards them with a sad smile. Why was he sad?

"Guys... I have to go back." Taiki spoke as a portal of some sort appeared near them. "Shoutmon and the rest of Xros Heart need me."

"Then we will go with you!" Akari stated.

"No, it's really too dangerous this time for people without Digimon to protect them." the other boy shook his head. "I'm sorry..."

"We understand." Zenjirou said and, as Akari looked conflicted, Hikari spoke up, turning everyone's attention to her.

"I want to go with you." she said and continued before he could protest. "I have a partner. She will keep me safe!"

Taiki sighed as he clearly saw that he wouldn't be able to argue with his small cousin and nodded as she walked forward to take his oustreched, gloved hand and he smiled cheerfully.

"I hope Taichi doesn't kill me for this..."

With that, they entered the portal alongside Shoutmon, leaving the cheers and encouragement of his friends behind.

So, thoughts? I would love to hear them! ;)

And no, this does not ignore 02. Its set a couple of weeks after 01, not years. Sorry if that saddens anyone but they won't even be mentioned here except for Daisuke, who will be mentioned as Hikari's 'dorky but sweet friend' for time to time. Even that is a big 'if'. So rest assured, if you hate 02, you won't be subjected to it in this fic! :)

Thank you!
