"Digimon attack"

Present day: - Plane over the ocean Takato's POV

'how could this happen' I thought to myself as I sat on the plane to America, my hand moved, moving to the necklace around my neck thinking back to the events leading up to this.

Flashback 3 weeks prior: - Shinjuku, Japan

It started like most other days since we got our digimon back, I got ready for school had breakfast and got guilmon (who had started living with us after the D-Reaper incident and since him and the rest of the tamers digimon had came back from the digital world.) and I said good bye to mum and dad. I was about to leave for school when a man in a suit walked by interesting thing was that he had an UPS logo on his chest pocket which at the time confused me, wasn't UPS an American company? what was a guy in their uniform doing here? Realising that I was going to be late for school and that it wasn't really my business I left.

I got to school with guilmon just in time to meet Henry, Terriermon, Rika and Renamon at the gate. I should probably explain why we're not trying to hid our Digimon partners, you see since pretty much everyone in Shinjuku knows about digimon now and that there our partners, we're allowed to bring them to school with us as long as they don't disturb classes. We're also allowed to excuse ourselves if there's a wild digimon on the loose. Who goes depends on how serious the threat is if it's a low level threat such as few champion level then it's anyone's game though the three of us (Henry, Rika and I) usually leave it for Kazu, Kenta or Suzie (Henry is still having a hard time getting over the fact that she's a tamer) so that they can get experience, we watch of course in case things get out of hand and they can't hand the situation any more Rika hates the fact that we have to pretty much hand hold them but I remind her that Kazu and Kenta's bond with their digimon aren't strong enough to get to them to ultimate level yet. Sure Suzie can get Lopmon too ultimate but she's still too young to let on the battle field alone so someone needs to watch over her. Rika says she's not worried about Suzie, she just hates the fact she has to look out for Kaze and Kenta. Anything ultimate and above we usually handle ourselves though Mega is extremely rare, ultimate is still uncommon but not unheard of. Though occasionally there's a digimon who comes though who is looking for a tamer, they usually get sent to Hypnos who now monitor activates in the digital world and keep a log of all tamers.

"Takato, Guilmon how are you?" Henry asked spotting us

"Great how are you and Terriermon doing?" I replied

"Good there hasn't been a Bio emerge lately things seem to be getting pretty quiet"

"Yes but things tend to happen when we least expect it so I wouldn't be surprised if one happened today" Rika said

"It would have been nice to have one during that test yesterday" I Said remembering the test we were given.

"Seriously Google head? It wasn't that hard" Rika replied

I just look at her "You're kidding I had almost no time to study first there was the Digimon attack, then we had that meeting at Hypnos with the monster makers, then training at Hypnos and then I had to do my chores at home." We started training at Hypnos to help improve our skills while biomerged.

"I had these things to do and I still found time." Rika said smiling

"I live with guilmon, he kept begging me to play in the park." I replied

Rika started thinking she know that while guilmon was getting more mature he still acted like a kid at times. "OK I'll give you that, but that excuse won't work every time"

The bell went off and we all went to class Rika had recently transferred to our school to be closer to her friends, we took our seats and Ms. Asaji walked in and started the lesson, we got the results of the test back surprisingly I passed with a pretty good score 84 out of 100. The rest of class went well we were almost though the day when our D-Arks went off. We took a look and from the signal the digimon coming though was strong Ultimate level about.

Ms. Asaji looked at us and sighed "go, but be safe" she still hated that kids were the ones who had to handle these threats.

We grabbed our D-Arks and took off to get our partners who were already at the school gates waiting for us. Following the signal, we ended up in Shinjuku park where we found the digital field. Taking note of our surrounding we entered in the middle of the field we saw the digimon a black humanoid wolf with camouflage pants and white markings. Pulling up my D-ark I read out the Annalise.

ShadowWereGarurumon:

Ultimate Level
Virus type
His Shadow Claw attack can cut his opponent to
shreds and his Full Moon Kick is just as bad.

"Shadow Claw" yelled SWereGarurumon it seems during the Annalise he spotted us and decided to attack we all jumped out of the way of the attack pulling out a card each.

"Digimodify Digievolution active" We all yelled swapping the cards though the scanner on our D-Arks.

Digievolution

Guilmon digivolve to...

Renamon digivolve to…

Terriermon digivolve to…

Growlmon!

Kyubimon!

Gargomon!

As our digimon appeared in their champion levels we watched SWereGarurumon, our digimon attacked (AN: This is my first time writing I fight seen… let's see how I go.) Kyubimon was the first to launch an attack. "Fox Tail Inferno" Called Kyubimon launching 9 Fire balls at SWereGarurumon hitting him, Growlmon followed up, "Pyro Blaster" sending a large blaze of fire at the digimon who jumped to avoid it but got court on the edge of the attack, only to be hit with Gargomon's Gargo Laser mid-air, while they appeared to hurt they didn't seem to do any real damage.

"His an Ultimate remember, our attacks won't do much right now" Said henry as we pulled out another card each, "Digimodify Matrix Digievolution activate" we called as the cards turned blue

Matrix Digievolution

Growlmon Matrix Digivolve to…

Kyubimon Matrix digivolve to…

Gargomon Matrix digivolve to…

WarGrowlmon

Taomon

Rapidmon

WarGrowlmon made the first move this time be trying to swipe at SWereGarurumon unfortunately SWereGarurumon saw this coming and managed to jump on WarGrowlmon's arm, charging up to his face the digimon Bellowed out "Full Moon Kick!" knocking WarGrowlmon back with a round house Kick to the face. Before landing back on his arm and jumping at him again slashing across his armoured chest with a cry of "Shadow Claw".

"WarGrowlmon!" I Cried out concerned for my partner Before SWereGarurumon could try for a third strike he was blasted back by a beam of red energy curtesy of WarGrowlmon who yelled "Atomic Blaster" Knocking him into the air before being knocked into the ground by Rapidmon's TriBeam, Taomon then used the chance to hit him with a Talisman of Light which finished the job. Running to WarGrowlmon who had now reverted back Guilmon. He had some injuries to his chest but nothing that seemed too severe.

"He should be ok after some food and a night's rest" Renamon said from next to me surprising me, I hate how she is able to do that.

"Thanks." Helping Guilmon up I took note of the time and turned to the others. "School would be finished by now and I got to get Guilmon home see you guys later."

"You going to be alright getting him home." Henry asked

"You should be more careful Goggle Head, you know that WarGrowlmon's size isn't a good match against smaller enemies." Was Rika's reply I knew that was her way of showing concern and she was also Right WarGrowlmon's bigger size compared to Taomon and Rapidmon did mean that it was harder for him to hit smaller ultimate level digimon but it was useful for stopping other large digimon.

"Yes I will and I Know Rika." I replied to both their questions "we should get going my mum will get worried if I'm not home soon."

With that we went back to the school to get our bags then went our separate ways home, Guilmon seemed to be alright now apart from a few marks on the chest where he was hit, but that injury would clear up after food and rest digimon do heal faster than humans. I spotted the bakery/house I lived in and was soon at the door.

"Mum I'm home" I called walking through the door.

"welcome hom- what happened to you two?" my mother said looking at myself I noticed I was covered in dirt myself though not too badly.

"umm digimon attack?" I immediately regrated saying that.

"Oh no you're not hurt, are you?" mum instantly started fussing over us.

"we're fine mum, Guilmon just took a scratch to the chest he'll be fine with some rest and I wasn't hurt" I said trying to calm her down.

Mum took a deep breath to calm down. "Ok, don't worry me like that young man. Now go take a bath both of you."

I headed up stairs and took a bath, after which I headed to my room but over heard my parents talking down stairs. "… Takato's par…" I couldn't help it, I was curious what were they talking about what did I have to do with it? I snuck down stairs and listened to them in the kitchen.

"… He has a right to know you know that" dad said a right to know about what?

"I know but I still think his too young for it." What were they talking about?

"But they came here you heard what he said, we may not have that time" he? my mind thought back to the guy in the UPS uniform, 'could this be about him?'

"I-I know but he's my baby, I just want to protect him from this." Now I a bit worried I knew that my mum could get protective but it sounded like whatever mum and dad were talking about It wasn't all that good.

"We can't protect him forever you know this; you also know that this was going to happen no matter what." Okay what were they talking about what did they want to protect me from I mean I fought a god in another world and a rogue program bent on distorting our world, what could be so bad they would react like this?

"Ok we'll will tell him, just give me a minute ok?" I realised that they would come up soon to tell me about… whatever this is. I snuck back upstairs to my room and got dressed, Guilmon was asleep on his bed I chuckled a bit it seemed he was more tired than I thought.

After a minute, I heard a knock on my door. "Takato you dressed?" I heard my dad ask for the other side of the door.

"Yes dad"

"We need to talk to you meet us down stairs?" he seemed nervous.

"Alright" I heard him walking away I took a shaky breath I was nervous myself what was that talk about down stairs what are they hiding from me. One thing was for sure I wasn't going to get any answers standing up here, I went downstairs.

We sat in silence for roughly ten minutes waiting for one of us to start finally my dad broke the silence. "Takato you know we love you, right? No matter what you're our son"

"I know, what's this about?" I replied slightly confused

"We wanted to tell you sooner but we knew that it would make you ask questions, questions we just weren't ready to answer yet" mum replied "son your… your adopted"

'I was adopted but then who were my real parents? Why did they give me up?' I decide to ask.

My dad sighed "we don't know who your father was we were never told, but your mother was a kind and beautiful woman who loved you very much."

"Then why did she give me up?" I asked if she loved me? why would she leave me?

"She didn't have a choice in her family they aren't allowed to raise their kids" my mum said

"THAT'S A RIDCULOUS RULE TO HAVE" I yelled annoyed that rule actually existed

"If her Brother found out it would have been bad, especially since…" she tailed off

"Since what" I asked

"She was never supposed to have kids in the first place, but she did, she had you" Dad said

"So what she gave me up because I was an accident? IS THAT IT?" I said getting angry now

"No, no what I'm saying is- "

"I DON'T CARE" I yelled as I got up tears forming in my eyes.

"Where are you going" Dad asked seeming a bit annoyed now

"Somewhere anywhere but here I need to cool off." I replied before walking out the door.

"Stop" I heard mum cry

"Let him go, he needs to clear his head" was dad's reply

Despite how upset I was I know dad was right, I needed to cool off I also needed to tell someone about this but who? Rika? No I don't need here sarcastic comments right now, Kaze or Kenta? No, they were my friends and all but they wouldn't understand, Jeri? She would be understanding but no she lived to far away, Henry? That wasn't a bad idea he would probably know what to say probably and he doesn't live too far away. With that I started my way to his family's apartment. Half an hour of walking later I was there I knocked on the door… 'maybe this was a bad idea' but before I could think too much about it Mr Wong opened the door.

"Hello? Oh, Takato are you here to see Henry?" he asked

"yes is he home?" I replied

"Yes I'll go get him come in, Henry you have a visited" he called

I walked in soon Henry walked in

"Oh Takato what are you doing here?" he asked I usually called before coming over he then noticed my sad expression. "Is something wrong?"

It was then that I broke down crying. "Wow calm down what happened?" Henry asked trying to comfort me with a shaky breath I told him everything.

Time skip one hour later:

"So your mother left you because of some stupid family law?" Henry asked.

"Yes but also because she was never supposed to have me. I was an accident" I replied

"excuse me but I couldn't help but over hear" my head shot to the door Mr Wong was standing there. "But maybe the reason she gave you up was to protect you?"

"I- I hadn't thought about that" I said it made sense mum said that if her brother found out it would be bad did she really do this to protect me?

"I think you need to take some time to think about this." Mr Wong said "In the mean time you can stay here to think things through I'll call your parents to let them know you're alright"

I looked out the window and saw smoke in the distance almost were…

"Odd it's not going though." I heard Mr Wong say. My eyes widened the smoke!

"THAT'S COMING FROM THE BAKERY!" I yelled Mr Wong looked out the window and that I was right

"We'll take my car" he said grabbing his keys

We got in the car I was worried what if something happened to Mum, Dad or Guilmon I had to get there. After what seemed like forever we got to my street only to find it blocked off by police, the officer said we had to go around but I couldn't wait any more I got out of the car and ran past then towards my home it was on fire. I ran in I know stupid but for some reason fire never bothered me I once stuck my hand into a camp fire before getting scolded by my mum but my hand wasn't burnt at all so I had hopes, as I ran in I saw my dad injured and sitting against the counter I ran up to him and shook him

"Wake up" I cried "Wake up" I checked his pulse… it wasn't there… I panicked what about mum where was Guilmon? I ran to the kitchen using my jumper to try and filter the smoke I saw my mum lying on the floor also not breathing. If it were not on fire I would have backed against the wall. Guilmon! I realised I ran upstairs 'please let him be alive'. I got to my room and throw open the door there he was in the middle of the floor injured but still alive for now.

"Ta-ka-to-mon" he groaned as he tried to get up, I rushed to his side to help him.

"hold on Guilmon, I'll get us out of here" I said helping him get up.

"I'm sorry Takatomon I tried to stop them they took me by surprise." that made me stop.

"Who Guilmon who did this?" I asked

He lifted a claw and pointed at the door "They did" I looked to where he was pointing and saw three larger than normal Black hounds with lava red eyes entered. I froze what should I do guilmon must have seen them move because next thing I know I was tossed to the ground by him as they attacked him one sunk its teeth in Guilmon's throat Guilmon let out a cry of pain before bursting into data. My heart stopped, I lost my mother, father and now my brother in all but blood to these, these monsters! I saw them turn to me I was upset, distraught but most of all I was angry I felt the fire around me grow more intense the angrier I got but didn't pay any attention I saw them start to circle around me and prepare to attack, they wanted me? Well they would pay for what they did. I felt an energy inside me swell up, I focused on it gathering it up, the hounds jumped at me. I released the energy and everything exploded the hounds were tossed against the wall before disintegrating into dust. I went on my knees exhausted I heard a crack from underneath me before the floor gave way. I fell and hit the ground unconscious.

Time skip ? days later:

I opened my eyes and winced at how bright it was. I looked around I was in a hospital it seemed. I looked at body and removed the sheets that were on top of them I had bandages on my left arm and upper chest.

"How long have I been out?" I muttered

"about one week" a familiar voice said I turned to it, it belonged to a man wearing a black suit with blonde hair and sunglasses

"Yamaki? What happened?" I asked

"You ran into your parent's burning bakery" my eyes widened I remembered what had happened.

"There, there gone all of them mum, dad, Guilmon I was there, I WAS RIGHT THERE AND I COULDN'T SAVE THEM" I cried

"I'm sorry" Yamaki said removing his glasses "the public report is that it was a gas leak that caused the explosion but the true is we don't know we think it may have been a digimon but there was no sign of one near the building, the other tamers search for 4 days before we told them to let it go."

"Where are the others?" I asked

"In the waiting room I got access because of my status but they had to wait for you to wake up I'll go get them."

He walked out a few moments later Henry, Rika, Kazu, Kenta and Jeri walked in there digimon must still be outside, they probably want to try to avoid reminding me about Guilmon.

"How are you doing?" Henry asked.

"I- I don't know I just can't believe that this has happened." I replied.

"I'm sorry Takato, I never thought something like this would happen." Rika said.

"I shouldn't have run off; I should have stayed there. I could have saved them." I said.

"There was probably nothing you could have done man." Said Kazu before he was elbowed by Kenta. "Ouch, what was that for?"

"Not helping right now Kazu." Kenta said.

"I'm only saying there was probably nothing him being there earlier could change." Was Kazu's reply. Ge thanks man.

"Kazu, shut up." Rika said.

"Ok"

"Kazu is right about one thing though, you couldn't have known what would have happened, you shouldn't beat yourself up over it." Henry said.

"I'm still a bit tired you guys mind going so I can get some rest." I told them, it was partly true but I really just wanted to be alone for a while.

Henry and Rika looked at each other they might have known the real reason for me wanting them to leave. "Alright, but remember that we're here for you if you need us Takato" Henry said.

"Thanks" I said Trying to smile.

Flashback End Present day

It was a week later I was let out of the hospital, I had healed faster than normal we learned it was a side effect of biomerging with our digimon. I was told by Yamaki that I had two options since Kai's grandfather was getting to old to look after both me and Kai, I could ether go into foster care here in Shinjuku or I could live with some relatives in America that he found out about. I would have stayed but there were to many memorises here, I needed a fresh start. After explaining to the others my choice and them giving a far well as well as a new pair of goggles since my old ones were destroyed in the fire (Red lenses with black frame), I was on a plain on my way to America. The necklace around my neck was found in a box that was not damaged by the fire with a note saying it was from my birth mother. I decided to wear it to not only have something of her but also so I could remember my family by.

"Attention all passengers well be landing in about 1 hour please make sure all you belonging are secure and buckle up when the light turns on" said a voice over the intercom. Seems like my new life is going to begin soon.

Arc: Oh, god, I feel like I just made a lot of people hate me with that. Anyway, some explanation first why Takato's mum was killed by hellhounds when she's an ex-hunter thing is she's an EX-hunter she would have no reason to keep training when she left and moved to Japan. Also, they took her and Guilmon by surprise. Next why Takato doesn't seem to have dyslexia or ADHD, I got this idea from 'Hunt for the Hazard' by XInsanityXGuiltechXShadowwindX who explains that the hazard counters both of those problems. Umm anyway got to go bye! (Takes of running)
