Digimon Revolt:
Summary- It has been three years since the warriors have returned from the digital world. None of the kids have fully recovered from what they have seen and are all the more freaked out when nightmares of the Digital World, both memories and unlived events invade their minds. What could these dreams mean for our favorite Legendary Warriors?

Chapter 2: Setting off a Chain Reaction
*DING-DONG*
"Kouji, your friend is here!" Satomi called.
After having talked to Chiaki over the phone the other day, Kouji had concluded that it probably was the same girl from the Digital World. Her voice had sounded the same and from what Kouji remembered, so was the way she spoke. The only thing was…
She probably didn't remember him.
In fact, he was pretty certain that she didn't. After coming back from the Digital World, none of the Warriors had heard anyone else talk about the Digital World. Hundreds upon Thousands of Kids had been summoned and yet no one seemed to remember. Yeah, Chiaki and the others had been their longer, but they never had D-Tectors so who's to say they forgot too. Besides, it was declared that the destruction of Shibuya Station was caused by an earthquake, not a blood-thirsty digimon bent on destroying the world.
"Kouji!" yelled up an angry stepmom, "what did I tell you about keeping a girl waiting!"
"I'm coming jeez!" Kouji yelled back.

It was her.
Chiaki.
They had been working for just over an hour now and she hadn't said one thing about the Digital World. Had he really expected her to though?
"You ok Kouji?" Chiaki asked quietly, "you seem distracted."
"It's nothing." He growled in frustration. Like a wolf she thought.
"It's not 'nothing' if you're that angry about it," she snapped back. "Geez, and I thought Teppei could be grumpy," she finished with a frown.
That peaked his interest.
Teppei was one of the other four kids who had been traveling with Angemon. He and his friend Katsuharu had been bullies before coming to the Digital World, Tommy's bullies. They were the ones that forced him to go to the Digital World in the first place. I guess they had, indirectly of course, helped save the world. He still didn't like them for all the torment they had put Tommy through even though Tommy had forgiven them back in the Digital World.
He didn't forgive quite so easily.
He also remembered that other kid but he couldn't quite remember his name. It was on the tip of his tongue…
"Teruo likes to say he doesn't have tack," that's who it was Kouji thought, Teruo.
Chiaki continued on though, not noticing Kouji's interest in the matter at hand and how he slightly perked up in recognition of Teruo's name. "Personally, I have to agree, half of what Teppei says he grumbles-" and Kouji had to cut her off, had to stop her, had to know…
"How do you remember them?"

He was standing there, just beyond her cage, asking riddles, demanding answers.
Correcting her every time she was wrong. She refused to answer 'correctly' though, refused to give him the satisfaction of it. If he wouldn't stop haunting her, then she would make his life hell, just like he had been making hers. But she was struggling. She was losing and she knew it…
"NO!" yelled Zoe, startled awake from her sleep.
It had happened again.
Zoe had been working on her essay due in class on Monday and she had fallen asleep half way through.
But now she was finally awake, although she was still sweating, shaking, and on the verge of a major panic attack.
But it had seemed so real, it always did. All the emotions of her dream self were still hers, still there, all the riddles fresh in her mind. She had that same dream every time she fell asleep now. She never felt rested and the more she slept, the more she dreamed. She was growing tired of this, physically and mentally. She knew she was overthinking this, right? Her dream had only seemed real. But she finally found out something crucial.
His name
Piedmon.
A silly name for a silly looking Digimon she thought. But he wasn't all that silly. In all actuality, he was quite terrifying. His voice still lingered in her ears, a mocking tenor-pitched laugh that could rival the Joker's. His image still burned in her eyes and if she stared at the shadow in the corner of her room she swore she could still see his wicked grin.
But then she realized something.
That shadow really did look like him. She was tired and unfocussed and she knew she knew better than to just sit there and watch as the shadow melted away into nothingness and an echo of a voice whispered "not now my target, but soon."
Tired and unfocussed or not, she knew that wasn't her imagination. She was done fooling herself, done lying to herself. She was being hunted. She was prey, his prey. He would come for her, for all of them.
She needed to warn the others.

Chiaki was confused to say the least.
How did she know them? Did Kouji mean to ask how she knew her own best friends? The four of them had met over the summer at Shibuya Station. In fact, they had been their when that 'earthquake' had hit. They helped each other get out and survive.
But they knew.
They knew it wasn't an earthquake. It was a monster. A monster had destroyed Shibuya Station. They saw it happen but their family and friends never believed them so they just gave up on telling people. But they couldn't be the only ones who knew the truth.
Someone else had to…
"I said," Kouji blurted rudely, "how do you know them?"
"Why do you care?" Man this kid was infuriating.
Kouji sighed; they had to have some recollection of how they met, right?
"How did you all meet?"
Well, that was unexpected, but she told him anyways, leaving out the part about the monster of course; she didn't need somebody else calling her and her friends crazy. And that is exactly why Chiaki couldn't help her surprise at the next few words that Kouji would utter.
"An earthquake you say," his question sounding more like a statement however, "is that really how you remember it?"
No "Yes," she lied.
"Are you sure?" a counter attack she thought. "Does the name Lucemon mean nothing to you?" he growled again. He does that a lot she noted. "Because if I remember correctly, then it was that monster that destroyed Shibuya Station, not some lame earthquake."
No. Freakin. Way.
"You too," she half whispered, "you saw him too, we thought we were the only ones."
So he knows everything, thought Chiaki, he knows the truth.
She barely remembers anything, thought Kouji, what she does know is more lies than truth. "Why don't we get back to work, I want to finish this stupid project before I graduate."
"ye-yeah", a lame answer. That was all she could say though. There were others. There were others that knew the truth.
She needed to tell the guys.

It was different this time.
Long gone was the shadowy clone of himself and that dusty boxing ring instead, he stood inside an empty flame terminal with a mechanical voice calling out his name. It was emotionless, robotic.
It was cold.
He couldn't tell where it was coming from. It was almost as if the voice came from everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
He began walking, seeing no point in staying in the same place, when he saw a trailmon slowly approaching him. The trailmon had a large mechanical creature on its back.
"Hello JP…"
And he was up. It was a dream like Zoe's, one that wasn't a memory but a never before happened event. Perhaps it was a yet to come event, But he would not be frightened. He would not worry because he knew. He knew if he succumbed to his fear than whoever was on the other end of that voice would get to him. He knew that if he let his guard down then he would be history.

"I'm scared," apparently Zoe didn't get the memo JP thought. They had all gathered in the park to hang out that day. It was Sunday, one day away from another long week of classes, a relaxing day, usually, but the blonde was nowhere close to being relaxed. "I can't sleep without having that same stupid dream. I'm exhausted and everywhere I look I see his face."
"I think you're overthinking this too much Z," said Takuya soothingly, "you're worrying yourself sick. Listen, we have school tomorrow, why don't you go home, relax, and get some sleep."
"I CAN'T!" She snapped, startling the others, "He's everywhere, he's in my head, the shadows, he won't leave me alone!"
"It was just a dream Z," JP said trying to help calm her down. "I had a similar dream to yours last night but I'm fine. It's nothing to be worried about; being scared is what's going to get you in the end, not some random dreamt up digimon."
"He'll get me whether I'm scared or not JP," she said fuming, "He's after me, his 'target', and he won't stop until he gets what he wants. If you guys don't want to believe me then fine, forget I said anything, but something is going to happen, I can feel it, so don't say I didn't warn you." And with that she left, and no one stopped her. They all knew how Zoe got. She just needed time to cool down, and then they would talk to her and help her get over this. She was just overreacting, she's done it before, and so they thought nothing of it.
It was a mistake, JP later thought. She had been right all along; they just refused to believe it. At least, not until it was too late.
Not until…

"TAKUYA, GET DOWN HERE!" cried his mother.
"Geez mom, is the house on fire or something?" Takuya replied as he came into the kitchen to see his mom on the phone. She was paler than usual with a worried look in her eyes.
"Who ya talking too?" Takuya asked worriedly. He had a bad feeling about this…
"I'm on the phone with Zoe's father."
NO.
No no no.
She's fine, she has to be.
"Zoe is gone"
XXXXX
So that's it. Zoe is gone and I bet you all know who the culprit is. But where is she? And how are they going to get her back? And is JP being hunted now to? Will these be answered next chapter?
I guess you'll have to wait and see.
I decide since I just started this story back up that I would post chapter 2 in addition to editing the first chapter. I hope someone is enjoying this story and I would like to apologize if there are any spelling and/or grammar issues, I suck at spelling and grammar.
My goal is to update every two weeks, possibly every week if I get the time with my busy schedule, I haven't picked a day to update but it will probably either be Saturday or Sunday.
In the meantime, why don't you review and tell me if ya hate, love it, think im pretty, whatever really.
Stay prodigious my friends.
