A/N: Hello there everyone! After Re-reading my original Digimon story, I feel like it was too rushed, not well-thought out, and I did not like the fact that I DIDN'T use original Spirit Digimon for both of my OC's, soooo I'm re-writing it with original Spirit Digimon, and a slightly different approach on the way I'm writing and character development of both OC's. Some key things to know about this is the fact that I'm changing the name of the OC's and that I'm going to have this story go by pretty fast, but I'm still keeping the high school face-off chapters.

Full Summary: Six years after their first trip to the Digital World the Six warriors are back in the Human World and are in high school! Everyone has gotten into their comfort zone…that simply won't due. When they are recalled back to the Digital World to save it from five odd creatures, will they have what it takes to save the Digital World once more? Maybe with a little help from two new arrivals to the Digital World it can be possible! If they don't all end up killing each other that is!

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon but I do own my OC's and original Spirit Digimon.


Let Your Spirit Evolve

Chapter 1: High School Life

"Takuya!" The tall brunette turned to see who it was who was calling him. The seventeen year old boy had grown more muscular and taller over the six years since his last trip to the Digital World, although his attire hadn't much changed. His still had the same hat and goggles on his head, a pair of dark blue well-fitting jeans, a red t-shirt, black sneakers, and a wristband with the symbol for fire completed his outfit.

Takuya looked over and saw the Warrior of Light running down the crowded hallway towards him. Takuya grinned and waved. "Hey Kouji! Sup buddy?"

Kouji rolled his eyes, but couldn't help but smile. Kouji had also grown over the years. He was at the same 6'2 height as his friend Takuya, and had roughly the same body build, except he was just a bit leaner. His still had his bandana around his head, and coupled it with dark blue jeans, white sneakers, a blue opened button shirt over a wife beater, and a wristband with the symbol of light.

Kouji made it to Takuya and fell into step beside his friend, adjusting the bag on his shoulder. "Takuya, did you forget already?"

"Uh…forget what?"

Kouji sweat dropped. "I guess I'll take that as a 'yes'. Although it is only eight in the morning; I don't expect your brain to turn on until at least…well, never actually."

Takuya playfully punched Kouji in the shoulder. "Hey! I resent that! My brain turns on at the latest of noon!"

Kouji chuckled but then got serious. "Dude, today is the face-off with Harajuku! We're supposed to head straight to the auditorium after Home Room. Principal Rowan wants to have a talk with everyone before we get sent off to practice for the rest of the day."

Takuya groaned. "Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Hey, how about we find the others so we can all head to the auditorium together?"

"Sounds like a plan. Where are they now anyways?" Kouji asked as the two teens stopped underneath a baron set of stairs. It was the decided meeting place for the group of teens after they had all started at Shibuya High together. Tommy of course joined them later on when he became old enough to attend high school. "Shouldn't they be here by now? I know Kouichi should be here at least."

"That's why I'm right behind you."

Both boys jumped and turned to see Kouichi standing behind them. Kouichi had grown the same way Kouji had, seeing as they were twins, but their styles were very different. Kouji had a more laid-back style while Kouichi was always dressed nicely. Kouichi wore a well-fitting pair of faded black jeans, black sneakers, a green polo, and a wristband with the symbol of darkness on it.

Kouji glared playfully at his brother. "Dude, you can't just creep up on people like that."

"I wasn't creeping Kouji, I just walked up to you guys."

Takuya laughed. "Hey, Kouichi, did you see any of the others yet?"

Kouichi nodded. "I saw Tommy with JP. JP wanted to stop and get something to eat from the cafeteria seeing as he overslept and missed the bus. Tommy decided to tag along, because they were serving blueberry muffins."

"You guys talking about us?" JP asked as he and Tommy walked up to the group. JP had lost a lot of the bulk he had when he was younger, attributed to playing Tennis and exercising frequently. He was only a bit taller than he was in the Digital World, now shorter than Takuya, Kouji, and Kouichi. He wore blue basketball shorts, blue sneakers, a yellow t-shirt and a wristband with the symbol of thunder on it.

Tommy had grown significantly through the years. He was now a bit taller than Kouji's shoulder, nearly matching JP in height. He still held his skinny frame, but subtle muscles were also one of his newest attributes. He wore black sweatpants, a white t-shirt with green outlines, white sneakers and a wristband with the symbol of ice. The hat that Tommy had worn as a child had been abandoned as he felt more comfortable with his shaggy hair.

"Hey guys! Are you excited for today?" Tommy asked practically bouncing up and down on his heels, still holding the small muffin in his hands before taking a bite. Kouichi grinned at his enthusiasm.

"We're going to do great today! The soccer team has come a long way since try-outs at the beginning of the season."

Tommy nodded eagerly, while Takuya looked around. "Hey, where's Zoe?" All the boys turned to grin at Takuya. "What? She was just supposed to be here by now! Don't look at me like that! We're just friends!"

Kouji smirked. "We never said anything other than that."

Takuya's face burned. He's had a crush on the Warrior of Wind since they met in the Digital World six years ago and it had only grown stronger over the years. It was obvious to the others that Takuya had strong feelings for Zoe, but not to the very girl he had feelings for. Although he knew that his friends knew, he still decided to blatantly deny such a thing, to avoid his friends trying to set him up like they had offered to do if he admitted he liked the blonde.

"Man! Sorry I'm late!" Zoe said breathlessly as she ran up to the group. She had grown a couple inches since their trip in the Digital World and was now a head shorter than Takuya. Her figure had developed into a curvier one that went noticed by many of the guys in their school—much to the annoyance of Takuya. She had a pink mini skirt, pink knee length boots, a blue and white striped tube top that showed around an inch of her stomach, a short-sleeve pink midriff jacket with purple outlining the sleeve, a purple and pink barrette, and a necklace with the symbol of wind on it.

"Zoe! Where've ya been?" Takuya inquired. Zoe smiled adjusting the strap on her bag.

"I was just talking to my friend Lianna. We're both on Field Hockey. She's really cool! I bet you guys would like her! She's gonna sit with us at the meeting, if you guys don't mind?" Zoe asked with a pleading look in her eyes.

Tommy grinned. "Sure! I wanna meet her!"

JP smirked. "Is she cute?"

"JP!" Zoe shouted before smacking him in the back of the head.

Kouji laughed. "You should've seen THAT one coming."

JP whimpered while Takuya shook his head. "Come on, we need to leave. We need to get to Home Room."

The group made their way to their Home Rooms, quickly got marked for attendance and then made their way down to the auditorium. "Zoe!" A voice called out for the blonde. The group all turned to see a girl running towards then. She had long waist length red hair, azure eyes with a reddish tint around the pupil. She wore a white mini skirt, white ballet flats, a yellow tank top, a white cardigan, a yellow headband keeping back her bangs, and a sun necklace.

"Hey Zoe! Finally found you! Oh, are these your friends?"

Zoe smiled and nodded. "Guys, this is my friend, Lianna Higurashi. Lia, these are the guys: Takuya Kanabara, Tommy Himi, JP Shibayama, Kouichi Kimura, and Kouji Minamoto."

Lia grinned and waved. "Sup boys?"

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Tommy spoke enthusiastically. Even though Tommy had physically matured, he still kept his childlike enthusiasm and optimism for everything.

"It's good to meet you all too! So, are we heading to the auditorium for the meeting?"

"Yeah, it should be starting soon. What sport do you play?" Kouichi asked even though Zoe had told them Lia played Field Hockey. Kouichi was very polite and thought that asking Lia herself would make the girl feel included and be a good way to start a conversation.

"Oh, I'm a Field Hockey girl. Co-captain with this one over here," Lia smiled jerking her thumb over to Zoe. "So, what do you boys play?"

"I play Tennis." JP spoke up as the group continued their walk down the hallway.

"Kouichi and I play soccer!" Tommy put in.

"Oh, soccer boys? I used to play at my old school. It's a fun sport," Lia said. Tommy beamed.

"Kouji and I play football," Takuya added.

Lia rose an eyebrow. "What positions?"

Kouji, who had been quiet throughout the entire conversation, spoke up. "We both alternate, playing either wide receiver, on special teams, or on the defensive line. Although I don't expect you to know what that means," Kouji said, smiling evilly. Zoe tossed him an annoyed look. Kouji shrugged in response. He never said he was going to welcome Lia into their group with open arms. He barely even spoke to them when they all first met in the Digital World. Kouji wanted to have an entertaining time debating whether or not Lia was good enough to be in their group so he figured he might as well mess with her.

Lia narrowed her eyes. "So you're wide receivers, huh? So you boys must be pretty fast. And if you boys are fast I'd assume you'd be the kick returners on special teams, because I really can't see either of you as blockers or punters. And as for the defensive line do you play as cornerbacks, safeties, defensive tackles, ends, or linebackers? I really hope it's not linebackers. If you boys are the biggest the team has got, I don't know how you're going to beat Harajuku." Kouji's eyes widened. Lia smirked. "I have a father and few uncles who always sit around watching football. If you're going to try to mess with me, do a better job at it, kay Minamoto?"

Kouji's jaw dropped, before he quickly regained his composure. A light blush dusted at his cheeks as the boys all snickered at him.

Thankfully for the warrior, they had reached their destination. Opening the door shouts and excited talking filled their ears. They group walked over to the back row, and quickly found their seats. They boys had manipulated the seating order so that Takuya was sitting next to Zoe. The seating also worked out that Kouji was seated next to Lia. The group sat in this order: Kouji, Lia, Zoe, Takuya, Kouichi, Tommy, and JP.

Principal Rowan, a young good looking man, walked onto the stage and grabbed the microphone. "Alright everyone, settle down! I know you're all excited for the big Shibuya vs. Harajuku High School Face-Off!" He paused as everyone started cheering. He waited for the cheers to die down. "Now, as you all know classes are cancelled for today, allowing all of our athletes to use the day to practice and rest up before their games. As for the rest of you students, there is going to be options for volunteering to help out the coaches and athletes, making posters or signs to encourage your fellow students, or you can enjoy the fair set up in the courtyard by your student body. Now, I'll let you all get going! All athletes are to change and then wait in the cafeteria for your coaches."

Immediately everyone got up to start heading out of the auditorium. "Too bad we can't go to the fair," Tommy spoke pouting slightly.

Takuya shrugged. "It's all good! We get to actually participate in the face-off though!"

JP nodded in agreement. "He's got a good point."

"We haven't beaten Harajuku in three years. You boys think you can bring home the win for football?" Lia asked, smirking slightly.

The reason why Shibuya lost to Harajuku for three years was because of the football team. Every year Football would play first. They would always lose, leaving it up to the other teams to play a perfect game for a shot to win. This year, however, the football players were playing last. Something about the star quarterback for Harajuku having a community service project he needed to complete, which would cause him to miss the first two competitions of the face-off. Principal Rowan and Principal Jordan, the principal of Harajuku, agreed to push the football game to the last slot.

Takuya pouted playfully and Kouji narrowed his eyes. "We're going to win today! We finally got to run some plays that the players wanted," Takuya explained.

Kouji nodded. "Takuya's right. Besides, we go last today. You have to make sure that Field Hockey wins so that we can bring home the trophy. You sure your girls are up to it?"

Lia and Zoe both glared simultaneously.

"We'll win. We may not have won last year, but this year will be different," Zoe spoke crossing her arms.

Lia mirrored her action. "Our girls have plenty of heart, and will win. You just make sure your boys can do the same."

The two were in a stare-down before a loud voice shouted right by them. "Lia!"

Lia, recognizing the voice, winced getting an annoyed look on her face. A boy a bit shorter than Kouji with blonde hair and green eyes ran up to the young brunette. Lia sighed. "Hello Mike."

Mike Hiroshima was someone the Legendary Warriors—and apparently Lia—knew well. He was the star, as well as the captain, of the cross-country team; one of the teams that competes every year at the face-off. They cross-country team had never lost a race, making Mike's ego over inflate and causing him to be an overall obnoxious pain in the ass.

"Sup, Lia? I see you're hanging out with some of the losers in this school. You're so kind. I didn't know you did charity work." Almost immediately six sets of eyes turned to glare at the blonde. Mike grinned in Zoe's direction. "Of course it goes without saying I exclude Zoe from that grouping."

"What is it that you want Mike?" Lia asked in annoyance.

Mike smiled. "Just wanted to wish you luck today."

"Don't need luck," Lia retorted quickly before turning to Kouji. "Now, like we were saying before about—"

Mike snorted. "You know Lia you don't have to pretend to be nice to these losers. I mean Takuya and Kouji lost horribly in football for two years straight now."

Both boys raised an eyebrow glaring. "Excuse me?" Takuya spoke, just about ready to attack the boy less than five feet away from him.

"You heard me."

Kouji suppressed a growl before turning to mock whisper to Takuya. "I'm about to kick this snobs ass if he keeps this up."

Lia laughed. "Oh please do. I need something entertaining to watch."

Kouji smirked and Mike looked appalled. "Lia!"

"Well, I'd love to continue watching this banter go back and forth, really I would, but we have to go get changed," Kouichi reminded the group.

Tommy immediately nodded, bouncing up and down in his spot. "Yeah, let's hurry up!"

"Okay, let's go," Zoe spoke. The group turned their backs on an annoyed Mike and started walking out of the auditorium, ignoring Mike's shouting after them. As soon as they were a good distance away Zoe laughed. "So, Mike is still bothering you?"

Lia sighed shaking her head. "That boy can't take a hint."

JP raised an eyebrow. "So I'm assuming he likes you?"

"I went out with him two months ago. For two days. Because I felt pity. Now he won't leave me alone and is convinced that we're going to get back together," Lia informed. Kouji smirked.

"I can offer to kick his ass if you want?"

Lia grinned. "I might just have to take you up on that offer."

Immediately all the Digidestined smirked at Kouji who then blushed, noticing their stares, and looked away. The group broke apart at the end of the hallway, Zoe and Lia headed to the girls locker room and the boys heading off to their own.

The boys quickly changed into their uniforms before heading into the cafeteria. The majority of the athletes were already in the cafeteria with the exception of a few who were taking too long to change; Zoe and Lia being among those few.

"So… about you and Lia…" Takuya started, turning to Kouji with a devilish smile. Kouji rolled his eyes.

"What of it? I don't like her if that's what you're thinking."

Tommy snickered. "Could've fooled me."

Kouji was about to retort when Lia and Zoe walked into the cafeteria. They were both dressed in red and gold field hockey jersey's, a black kilt, red and gold socks, cleats, black gloves, and goggles hanging around her neck. They held their field hockey sticks in their hand; their hair was up, Zoe's in a high pony tail and Lia's in two high pigtails, red pry-wrap tying back their bangs.

"What did we miss?" Zoe asked walking over to the group.

JP grinned evilly. "Oh nothing really, just Kouji saying how much he—OW!"

Kouji retracted the elbow that he had sent at JP's ribs and smirked. "How much I'm excited about winning today."

Kouichi rolled his eyes at his brothers' antics. "We're all very excited Kouji. Where are the coaches anyways?"

The group looked around, Takuya being the first one to spot the coaches. "Over there. It looks like it's the cross-country coach and the tennis coach." Not long after Takuya commented did both coaches call for their respective teams to start their practice.

JP got up and grinned. "Well, looks like I'll be seeing you guys out on the fields!"

"See ya JP!" The group said as the Warrior of Thunder departed.

"Soccer, head outside to the field and start laps!" Kouichi and Tommy heard their coach and smiled.

"Looks like we'll be leaving you guys alone," Kouichi spoke waiting for Tommy to grab his duffel bag.

The younger brunette boy grinned at his friends before waving. "Good luck you guys! We're totally going to win today!" With that they both ran out of the cafeteria, leaving only Zoe, Takuya, Lia, and Kouji. Lia pulled out her sun necklace and kissed it before whispering something to the item before putting it back under her jersey, something both Takuya and Kouji noticed.

"What was that about?" Takuya asked curiously.

Lia looked confused. "What was what about?"

Kouji pointed to her jersey. "That little thing you just did. What's with that?"

Lia's eyes widened in realization, a hurt look crossing her face before she regained her composure quickly and shrugged looking nonchalant. "Just a little thing I do. It's habit."

Kouji was going to press on, but Zoe put a hand on his shoulder and shook her head. Takuya looked at Zoe in confusion and Zoe mouthed 'later' to the tall brunette next to her. Takuya and Kouji shared a look and nodded a silent agreement to ask the blonde about it later.

"Field Hockey girls get on the field! Twister and Mayhem will lead warm-ups!" The Field Hockey coach shouted. Takuya and Kouji looked at the two field hockey girls who grinned sheepishly at the names they had been given.

"What? As captains we had to pick names. They seemed to fit," Lia shrugged.

Zoe smiled as she picked up her field hockey stick. "See ya boys later! Have fun!" With that both girls ran off. Not long after they left the football coach walked in.

"Boys let's get outside now! I want you to start with laps around the track!"


It was a few hours later and all the Shibuya High athletes were waiting outside, dressed with their red and gold sweatpants and sweatshirts covering their uniforms. There were a few minutes before the Harajuku buses were to arrive, so they students were just wandering around in groups talking amongst themselves.

Takuya and Kouji were tossing around a football when a soccer ball was kicked into the air and hit the Warrior of Light in the butt. "Hey! What the hell?" Kouji asked looking around. He glared seeing Kouichi laughing and Tommy giving him a high-five from a couple yards away.

"I told you I could get him from here!" Kouichi boasted walking towards the two boys. Takuya laughed as Kouji hurled the ball at his brothers' face, though the soccer player easily caught the ball. Kouji glared playfully.

"Really Kouichi? You feel the need to kick soccer balls at my ass?"

"Well it's better than kicking your ass." A voice came from the other direction. Kouji and Takuya turned to see Lia, Zoe, and JP walking towards them from the Tennis courts.

Takuya howled with laughter. "This is great! It's like 'Screw with Kouji Day!'"

Kouji growled before throwing the football at Takuya, hitting the Warrior of Fire in stomach. "What was that Takuya? I couldn't hear you over the sound of the football hitting your stomach."

Takuya groaned out a response. "Nice…"

Zoe rolled her eyes at the boys. "Kouji, there was no reason to throw that at Takuya," she chastised as she helped Takuya up.

Kouji held his hands up in defense. "Hey! Kouichi kicked a soccer ball at my ass and Takuya made fun of me. I think that's a legitimate reason!"

Lia shrugged looking at Zoe. "I have to agree with him. It sounds like an okay reason." Zoe tossed her a disapproving look and Lia held her hands up. "Fine, fine, I get it; no agreeing with Minamoto."

The group all came to stand in a circle, Takuya glaring playfully at his teammate. "So, the Face-off is going to start soon huh? You guys ready?" Takuya asked.

"Of course."

"Definetly."

"For sure!"

"No doubt about it."

"More than!"

"What do you think?"

Takuya rolled his eyes at the fact that everyone had answered at once, but still smiled. Everyone heard the sound of the buses pulling in. The group of teens smirked as Takuya pumped his fist in the air.

"Alright! Time to start this Face-off!"
