Chapter 1: The Shattered Peace

Tai's POV

"Tai! Wake up! We're gonna be late!" Tai turned around, squinting his eyes to look at the exasperated face of his little sister.

"Good morning, Kari!" Tai said as he slowly sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"Tai, if you don't get up now, we will miss the annual gathering!" Kari exclaimed in frustration.

"Wait, what!? Oh man, Sora's gonna kill me!" Tai yelled as he dashed for the bathroom. Kari couldn't help but smile, her big brother just never seems to change.

A few minutes later, Kari sat outside, waiting for Tai to finish getting ready. Tai quickly donned on his signature goggles with the blue band around his head. He had bought a new one since his old one was given to Davis and he felt that he needed his goggles again. Wearing a black shirt and a blue jacket, he also wore grey jeans as he grabbed his Digivice before he walked out of the room. Looking at the cute pink dress and a yellow shorts that Kari's wearing. Tai couldn't help but think that it will get boys' attention, wondering whether he should bring a baseball bat to chase them away.

"Tai, don't worry. The boys won't come after me! So let's go!" Kari stated, knowing exactly what her brother is thinking. Smiling sheepishly, Tai followed her sister out of the door, yelling a goodbye to his mum.

Matt's POV

Matt was bored, having no one to talk to at the moment. His girlfriend, Sora was too busy grumbling about Tai who is probably still asleep. Izzy was, as usual, typing away on his computer and Cody was sitting calmly on the grass, patiently waiting for their friends to arrive. And his little brother, TK was too busy reading a book about writing.

"Hey! Guys!" A voice rang out. Matt raised his head up and waved to his best friend.

"Looks like I wasn't late," Tai said with his signature goofy smile.

"You are late!" Sora said as she smacks Tai's head. "Ow! But no one's here!" Tai whined.

"Probably too busy to come. Many have much to do." Izzy cut in.

"But it's our gathering!" Sora replied.

"Please do not quarrel, Yolei and Mimi have sent a message, they will be arriving shortly." Cody raised his D-Terminal for the others to see.

"TK! Hey, Tai and Kari are here!" Matt yelled, making the boy jump in surprise. "Hi, Tai, Kari, how's it going?" TK flashed his usual optimistic smile at them.

"We are here!" High-pitched voices cut through the air. "Mimi! Yolei!" Sora shouted back joyfully. Even Matt knew that Sora wanted to have some girl talk, probably the reason why she was so moody.

Slapping Matt's back, Tai smirks at him, pointing towards TK's and Kari's joyful yet slightly red faces as they chatted, raising an eyebrow.

"Darn you, Tai! Didn't have to ruin my mood!" Swiping at him in mock anger.

Tai snickered, "Why? You know that there's a chance!" Matt suddenly smirked, "I thought you were an overprotective big brother! I'm still surprised you approved of TK!"

"Look, as long as TK doesn't do something bad, I'm fine with him. Afterall I trust him to keep Kari safe." Tai replied indignantly.

Matt started laughing uncontrollably, "You... probably... wouldn't have woken up... today if it wasn't for Kari... And you wanted... to protect her!" Speaking in between laughs, Matt watches as Tai's face slowly frowned.

"Darn you, Matt! Now I'm mad! It's not like I needed you to wake me up when going to school!" Tai pouted his lips, glaring at Matt.

Matt continued to laugh, soon Tai joined in, finally seeing the funny side of his situation.

"Though technically Matt still has to wake you up as you live in the same apartment now. Afterall, you still sleep in late and at least you only go back home on holidays or weekends. Otherwise, Kari would have to wake you up every morning again." Izzy said, without looking up from his computer.

"Izzy, I suddenly have an urge to hit your computer," Tai replied menacingly. Izzy immediately blocked his computer with his hands, causing Matt to go into another fit of laughter.

"Tai, I do not appreciate the use of violence!" Izzy stated indignantly.

Loud panting soon filled the air as Joe ran towards them, carrying a huge bag. All conversations ceased as they greeted Joe.

"Woah, Joe, what did you bring in that bag?" questioned Tai.

"He probably brought everything in his house! But Joe, sweetie, we are just having a picnic." Mimi said in a lilting voice, raising her humongous picnic basket.

"I didn't get to ask but how much did you pack? The rest of us just brought some snacks." Sora asked, gesturing towards the bags on the floor. Joe had started to turn red as he blocked his bag with his hand, quickly sitting down.

"Sora, it's a surprise! Once Ken and Davis arrive then I will show you!" Winking, Mimi walked off to comfort Joe.

"Ohmigosh! Wait till you taste Mimi's food! It's awesome! Really, it's so nice, you will feel as if your whole body is tingling! Oh, I even managed to convince Mimi to teach me some dishes, though not as good as Mimi, you guys still got to try it! I want to know what you think and..." Yolei continues to sprout words out as everyone nervously step back.

"Yolei," Mimi called, "Calm down, Cody just told me Ken had finally managed to tow Davis here. Seems like Ken had to practically pull Davis off his bed. They are on their way here now. And don't worry, they will try your food." Mimi giggling as she successfully stops Yolei's blabbering. Patting Joe on the back, she went to set up the blankets and food.

Matt felt quite at peace, even after so long, their friendship was still as strong as ever. Matt felt a slight smile took place on his face as he leaned onto a tree, staring towards the group.

"Is that a smile? Oh~ What are you thinking about?" TK mockingly asked.

Matt just smiled at TK and replied knowingly, "How're things going between you and Kari?" TK automatically blushed. "What!? No! It's not like that!"

"Oh? Then why are you blushing?" As Matt continued to tease him, TK blushed even harder. "Matt! It's re-really not like that! I don't like K-Kari that way!" TK stammered.

"Davis, move faster! We're the last!" Ken shouted. "Ok, ok!" Davis grumbled back.

Yolei let out a squeal as she threw herself on Ken. Making Ken blushed under her.

"Save by Davis, huh? And TK, you should thank Davis later!" Matt jokingly slapped TK's back. TK sighed as both of them walk towards the picnic as Mimi pulled out tons of delicious smelling food.

TK's POV

TK frowning at Matt, trying his best to dispel the blush on his face. He watched Davis started to drool as he looked at the food Mimi pulled out. Flicking his eyes to Kari. he remembered that he and Kari both have a splitting headache in the morning, including that horrible nightmare.

Darkness was everywhere, he couldn't see anything. He fumbled around, looking for a light, a way out when dark hands grabbed him, strangling him. He couldn't breathe, he struggled, trying to escape. "There's no Hope nor Light anymore. Darkness shall engulf the worlds." Laughing maniacally in the dark, TK couldn't hold on and he fainted, feeling as if something's being ripped from his very soul.

TK shuddered involuntarily, Kari had exactly the same dream, hopefully the dream doesn't mean anything.

"TK, stop spacing out! Otherwise, all the good food will be eaten by Tai and Davis!" Sora poked him in order to get a reaction.

Smiling awkwardly, he sat down and dug into the food. "Wow! Mimi, you're a really good cook!" TK immediately brightened up, shooting his optimistic smile at Mimi.

"I know! That's what I said!" Davis replied once his mouth is free.

The day passed slowly as everyone chatted with each other, sharing stories of each other lives up to now.

"TK, I have a really bad feeling about that dream we had. It just seems so dark." Hugging herself tightly, she looked over at TK. "No worries, Kari. It's just a dumb dream, that's all." TK replied, hoping to reassure her.

"But both of us had the same dream! And the words they used, it's referring to us!" Kari whispered.

Feeling eyes on them, TK turned to look at everyone's sparkling eyes and Davis's angry glare. Kari, following his gaze, blushed. "It's not like that!"

Tai and Matt snickered, Mimi, Sora and Yolei smiled widely. Davis looks even madder and Ken, Joe and Cody were trying to calm him down. TK blushed as red as Kari's face, feeling a tad relieved at Izzy for not caring.

"Guys! Come here quick!" Izzy's urgent voice caused everyone to dash over quickly.

"It's not the Digital World, right?" Tai frantically asked. "I'm not sure. Gennai had only just informed me about an abnormally high energy signature coming somewhere in our world." Izzy replied.

As they spoke, TK felt an ominous feeling creep up his skin. A shot of pain erupted into his head, hearing a soft groan beside him. TK resisted the pain and saw Kari clutching her head.

Sora's POV

"The energy signature is coming from here!" Izzy exclaimed. "What? Where is it?" Davis yelled in shock, swinging his head left and right.

"Darn it! And we don't have our Digimon!" Tai exclaimed. Suddenly desperate voices shouted out.

"Tai!" "Matt!" "Help us!" Swinging around, they saw TK and Kari collapsing on the ground. "TK!" "Kari!"

Dashing quickly to them, but just as they reached them, TK and Kari flickered and disappeared. Slumping onto the ground, Tai and Matt can only stare at where their siblings were before they disappeared.

"It's gone.. The energy signature has disappeared." Izzy informed everyone.

"Who cares about that damn energy signature!? Kari's gone!" Tai yelled at Izzy.

The three of the first generation grabbed onto Tai and Matt, knowing that they are going to snap. The other four followed suit.

"Don't worry, Izzy will find them!" consoled Sora.

"I'm pretty certain we have to worry! I mean they just disappeared!" Davis exclaimed.

"DAVIS!" Everyone glared at him excluding Tai and Matt.

"Oh right, consoling! Don't worry, I'm gonna find Kari!"

Seeing Matt glowering at him, Davis hastily added, "And TJ too, of course!"

"Everyone, let's just go home for now. No one tries anything stupid, especially you two!" Earning a glare from the two brothers, Sora ignored it and continued, "You need to rest! Otherwise how are supposed to save them or find them without you two? We can leave it to Izzy to find them but we still need you guys!"

"They could not have been taken to the Dark Ocean, right? Yolei whispered, shooting an apologetic glance at Ken's pale face.

"No! Obviously, they wouldn't be sent there! It's over afterall! Let's just go home now, ok?" Mimi quickly told everyone, not wanting them to worry even more.

Sora knew the two boys will blame themselves, making a mental note to take care of them. Sora closed her eyes and wished for the safety of TK and Kari. Ignoring the growing discomfort in her, she turned around, following everyone home.

Unknown's POV

A Dark being floated above a grey ocean, smiling evilly as he looked at the two bodies sprawled unconscious on the shore. He had patiently waited five years and now it's finally time for his revenge! A horrifying laughter came forth, echoing into the sky.
