CHAPTER 2:

Tyke: (A little fearful) Agumon?

: Growl (Glares with 3 red eyes at Tyke)

Tyke takes a step back.

Tyke: This isn't... Agumon.

The mist clears from around the three eyes Koromon.

Tyke: Koromon? (Tyke looks at the third eye)

Tyke walks up to the strange Koromon and squats down and looks at it. Tyke extends a finger towards the third eye on the Koromon's forehead.

VKoromon!?!?! Munch Munch Munch Munch Munch! (V-Koromon rapidly bites

Tyke's finger) Growl.

Tyke? ... ? ... ? ... GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OWWWWWWWWWW! (Tyke waves his finger around)

Tyke turns around and runs.
The vicious Koromon pursues Tyke snapping its jaws and growling.

Tyke: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

2 Hours Later

Tyke walks into a cave slouching, dripping wet, and exhausted. In his arms is the struggling three eyed Koromon attempting to bite his hands but to no avail as Tyke is holding him on the sides. Tyke slides down against the cave entrance wall and sits with his knees up holding the Koromon.

Tyke: Agumon? (A tear rolls down Tyke's face) What happened to you?

The Koromon continues to thrash in his arms.

Tyke: Why didn't I just stay home? Then I would still have Agumon. I would have never run into Javel and his Syakomon and none of this would have happened. Two days here and I get my Digimon killed. Javel was right, I am not a tamer.

FLASHBACK

Tyke: Wow! He just digivolved into Agumon!

Tyke is in his home alone with his Digimon V-pet Version 1.

Tyke: (Selects the first icon) 1 heart? You're hungry. Time to feed you.

The screen on his Digimon V-pet Version 1 goes crazy. It begins to emit light and color.

Tyke: (Throws it and it lands on the ground) GAHHHHHH!

The V-pet has a constant light coming out of it that pulsates. A voice echoes around the room.

: Calling All Tamers. Calling All Tamers. Our world is in peril.

Tyke: Peril? What world?

: We call upon you to come to our world and help defend the balance. Report to the following coordinates to cross over. We must stop the D... (A horrible beeping sound occurs like something is going haywire and a static sound drowns out the voice. The light fades from the Digimon V-pet)

Tyke????... Am I going crazy?

Tabi (Tyke's cat): You? Naw. :-3

A pause of silence

Tyke: (Picks up the Digimon V-pet and there is a virtual map with a blip in the middle and an X to the far top right) A map? Then I wasn't going crazy. (Tyke turns the Digimon V-pet and the map also turns until the X is at the topmost part of the screen) I'm not crazy! J I'm not crazy!

Tabi (Tyke's cat): Meh... you might be. :-3

Awkward pause of silence

Tyke: You know... I just don't like that cat. It's creepy. Like psycho killer creepy. (Tyke grabs his coat and runs out the door)

Tabi (Tyke's cat): Kill! (Tabi dives on the TV remote and mauls it happily)

Tyke runs down the neighboring streets always making sure at the end of each corner he looks at the map to make sure he knows where he needs to be going.

10 minutes later Tyke makes it to the edge of the woods.

Tyke: Oh man. It is in there?

Tyke enters the woods and keeps walking directly towards the X on his map, watching it come closer and closer to the center of the screen towards the dot.

Tyke finally enters a clearing and before him is 15 other kids, all holding their Digimon V-pets and Digimon Pendulums in their hands looking at them intently.

Tyke: Wow. I guess they all got the message too.

Tyke immediately sees 2 girls standing together talking.

Rachel: So do you know who sent the messages?

Klaire: No idea. This could all be an elaborate hoax.

Tyke approaches them.

Tyke: Hey. J

Rachel: Hey yourself. ;)

Klaire: Oh, hi.

Tyke: I take it you got the message too?

Rachel: Obviously seeing as we are all here.

Tyke: (A slight blush) Oh. ... So... Anyways, I'm Tyke.

Rachel giggles a bit and Klaire fights the urge to laugh.

Rachel: Tyke? That is funny. It sounds like a nickname for a toddler. Anyways, I am

Rachel. This is Klaire. We ran into each other on the way here.

Tyke: (A little hurt by their reaction to his name) O...oh. Okay.

Klaire: She didn't mean to be so rude. Anyways...

Javel: Excuse me ladies. You get any new messages. I am sick of wasting my time standing here with a bunch of pathetic V-pet owners.

Rachel: Um, excuse me! We were talking. This is an AB conversation so see your way out.

Javel: Don't talk to me like that. My digimon, Syakomon, could kick your digimon's ass.

Rachel: As if. My palmon owns.

Javel: Palmon? My digimon will destroy him. I trained my nonstop.

Rachel: Then connect and lets find out.

Rachel and Javel quickly open the battle menus and connect and press enter and break apart and watch as their digimon battle.

Palmon and Syakomon trade blows three times.

Rachel: Oh no! (Palmon is hit with a double attack on the 4th exchange of attacks and palmon slouches down and pouts)

Javel: Ha! That is what you... Hey! Wait! (Syakomon is slouching down and pouting)

Rachel: Well well well. Good job Palmon, a draw.

Klaire: (Giggles)

Tyke: A draw?

Rachel: Yes. Very rare, but it happens. I don't mind. I get enjoyment out of the fact that to this little brat a draw is worse than a loss.

Javel's face contorts in anger.

Javel: Piss off. (Javel walks off) I will beat you all eventually.

Rachel: Anywa...

((((Every Digimon V-pet and Digimon Pendulum glows))))

Klaire: What's going on?

Tyke: Awe...

Rachel: Something big. (All the lights shoot out of the devices and concentrate on a point in the middle of the crowd of 15 forming a gigantic golden gateway.
