Alright, everybody, welcome to my first ever Digimon fan fiction! This one features characters (not all of them) from the first three seasons, but mainly the wonderful Adventure 02 and Tamers folks. Note to all of you guys: I do not own Digimon. Do I look like I do? Well, no! I'm flat broke! Now go away. Wait! Don't go away! Stay here! Read my fan fiction! Also, some of the adults I have to make up names for, so please excuse my lack of knowledge of Japanese last names. Now read it, darn you! And review, please. That is all.
Davis ran down the halls of his new school, trying not to slip on the tiles as he made his way to his last class of the day. "Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!!! I'm gonna be late!" He narrowly missed running into a group of teachers and ducked down another hallway. The bell started to ring and he sped up. "Oh no! This sucks!" He found his room right as the bell was ending and swung open the door, only to find the teacher already standing in the front of the room.
Mrs. Hirokashi eyed Davis and frowned. "That's the second time this week, Motomiya. Take your seat, and keep in mind that I expect this to not happen again.
Davis sighed and nodded. "Yes, Mrs. Hirokashi…" he mumbled, and sat down. He propped his head up with his fist and stared sullenly at the chalkboard. It was his first year in high school, and he wasn't adapting too well. The earlier mornings, plus the advanced classes and the overloading of homework wasn't helping him, either.
It was roughly two years since they had defeated Malomyotismon and restored peace to the Digital World, and life was pretty much as boring as it was before the Digimon came around. He could still see Veemon whenever he wanted to, but both of them had been pretty busy. Veemon and the other Digidestined's digimon had been burdened with the rough task of cleaning up the digital world, and both groups of Digidestined were dealing with their own problems. Davis, TK, Ken, and Kari had started high school, Yolei was working overtime in her parent's store to pay off the debts that always seemed to come up, and Cody was practicing kendo a lot more then before.
Tai, Sora, Mimi, and Matt were in their last year of high school, which meant looking at colleges. Joe was attending the prestigious medical school he had been hoping to get in to, and Izzy was working on some sort of computer program. Whenever they asked him about it he would always say, "You'll see," and change to subject.
So, they hadn't seen their digimon in a while. But that was all about to change.

"Oh my god! Are you serious? OH MY GOD!!!"
Mimi Tachikawa was walking down the street in New York, talking rapidly into her cell phone.
She hadn't changed much. Her hair was dyed the same color of brown it had been when she had become a Digidestined, and she still wore girly clothes. They had been toned down a bit as she got older, but there was no doubt that she was the same Mimi.
She turned onto another street and grinned into her phone. "Okay, see you, Lauren. Uh huh. Uh huh. Bye!" She flipped the top part of her phone down and slid it back into her purse. Mimi smiled as she looked at the brick wall that she was walking next to. It was covered with various posters and flyers for different events, as well as, er, 'colorful' graffiti.
Mimi paused in front of one flyer in particular. "Digimon Card Tournament, October 24! Come see reigning champions from Japan, Rika Nonaka and Ryo Akiyama, in a head to head battle! Tickets only $7.50 per person! Autograph signing after the tournament."
She shook her head. She had heard of the card game that had been developed just a few months after the defeat of Malomyotismon, but a tournament? "Sounds interesting," she said to herself.
Mimi turned back around and noticed another girl looking at the flyer. She had red-orange hair that was pulled back in a ponytail, and looked like she was a few years younger than her. She was standing with one hand on her hip and the other holding to strap of a pair of sunglasses.
Mimi looked at her for a few seconds. She looked really familiar, but she couldn't place where she had seen her. She shook her head and walked away, leaving the girl to read the flyer. It wasn't until later that night until Mimi remembered where she had seen the girl before.

The Gizamon scattered frantically as the bolt of dark lightning crashed down on where they had been seconds before. They lightning fizzled down and the silhouette against the dark sky grimaced. "Damn…" She shrugged it off and stepped off the pillar, adjusting the silver gauntlet that wrapped around her left arm.
Looking around, she spotted a lone Gizamon quivering behind another broken pillar. She grinned and coaxed it out of hiding. "There's a good digimon…Now come here! Come to Auntie Dayanara!" He lingered by the pillar, and Dayanara frowned slightly. Her tone hardened. "Listen, little pipsqueak, if I tell you to do something, you do it, understand?"
The Gizamon whimpered and slowly trekked over to her. Once he got closer she could see that he was covered in bruises and burn marks. Of course, Dayanara didn't care. After all, she had supplied them.
He was grabbed by a rope that was sparking with dark energy and lifted up to her eyes. "Listen, pipsqueak," she hissed, "You're going to tell me what I want to know, right? I don't want to be disappointed if I learn that you lied…"
He nodded and she grinned wickedly. "Alright, sonny. Now, riddle me this…What do you know about the Digidestined?"

Yolei was sweeping the sidewalk in front of her parent's store when she heard footsteps pounding against the pavement. She looked up and saw a boy around her age running toward her. He had light brown hair that stuck up and tilted slightly to the side and a red bandana tied around his neck.
She jumped out of the way as he ran past and raised an eyebrow. Where was he off to in such a hurry? No sooner had she thought that when the same boy came running back and stopped in front of her, panting slightly.
"Hey, um, sorry to bother you, but do you know where to closest airport is? I was kind of supposed to leave for another country an hour ago." The boy rubbed the back of his head and extended a hand. "I'm Ryo. Ryo Akiyama."
Yolei leaned the broom against the wall and took his hand. "I'm Yolei. And yeah, the airports down that way," she said, pointing in the direction he had been running. Her eyes widened suddenly, and she looked back at him. "Wait, Ryo Akiyama? You don't mean the Ryo Akiyama? World famous Digimon Card Game champion?"
Ryo nodded slightly and blushed. "Well, I don't know about world famous, but…"
"I
AM SUCH A BIG FAN OF YOURS!!!" Yolei shrieked in his face. Ryo
looked slightly surprised and she quickly composed herself.
"S-sorry…"
"Eh, no problem. I get that a lot." He
grinned and waved to her as he raced off again.
Yolei leaned against the side of the store and sighed deeply. "I am such a geek…"

Rika shook her head and leaned back in the chair she was sitting in. Where is that jerk? It's just like him, to keep me waiting here for hours! It's a good thing I brought a book, but if I had a choice I would gladly just leave!
Her mother had agreed to pick Ryo up and drive him to the hotel they were both staying at for the tournament, but he was running late. Really late. Rika huffed and crossed her arms.
Not much had changed for her since they had gotten rid of the D-reaper. Sure, she missed Renamon, but she at least had gotten over the fact that the gate had closed. Takato and his friends had this crazy notion that they would someday be able to see their digimon again.
She was pondering this when she heard a voice from behind her shout her name. "Hey, Rika! Rika, is that you?" She turned around to see the ever-annoying face of Ryo Akiyama.
"Oh, Ryo. You're here." She stood up and walked over to him, glaring up at him. He had gotten taller, and she was still getting used to it. "And it's about time, too! What took you so long? I've been waiting here for hours!"
Ryo sighed. "I got sidetracked and missed my flight! You should feel lucky that I'm here at all! It took me at least another hour to bargain with the person at the ticket booth to let me on another plane!"
Rika groaned. Yup, he was the same Ryo she knew and barely tolerated. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked over and saw her mother standing behind her.
"Oh, Ryo! It's so good to see you again! How was your flight?" Ms. Nonaka smiled down at the Tamer, who grinned at her.
"Fine, thanks!" Rika rolled her eyes and Ryo caught the motion, grinning even wider.
"Oh, that's great! Now let's get to the hotel. It's getting late, and I'm sure you both want to get a good night's sleep for the competition!" Rika's mother said cheerfully, leading the two teenagers out of the airport.

Izzy was typing furiously on his computer in his bedroom. Every now and then he would paused and glance at the screen of his laptop, but then he would go back to typing. It had been like this ever since he had gotten the idea three months ago. So far he was making pretty good progress, if he did say so himself.
The basis of the program was a simple digivolution, like Tentomon digivolving to Kabuterimon. The digivolution was one of the more natural one, as it didn't need the power of a tag and crest, or some other source. What Izzy was working on was a way to expand that form of digivolution, sort of a way for the digimon to digivolve 'naturally' by drawing on energy from their partner. He wasn't too sure what effect it would have on the partner of the digimon, but he was still in the relatively early stages of the process.
Izzy sighed and stopped typing to stand up and stretch. He walked over to the window and glanced out at the street below him. Now if only I could figure out a way to link the digimon's energy with that of its partners…
