Digimon 02 Rewrite
Chapter 2- The Digimon Emperor
(Tai's POV)
I just couldn't believe it all eight of us were back in the digital world and from the looks of it nothing has changed; except for these black towers. We were walking around heading towards Gennai's house.
"This is weird." Kari stated.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"It's just we're back in the digital world." Kari stated, "Why haven't we run into any Digimon?"
I didn't even notice we were walking, but we didn't run into any Digimon. We haven't even seen a single Digimon the entire time.
"You're not kidding this is weird." Matt announced.
"Do you guys think everyone is ok?" Sora asked.
"Honestly Sora," I said, "I haven't a clue.
We continued walking and made it finally made it to the lake.
"I thought we were going to Gennai's house." Kari stated, "Why are we at a lake?"
"That's right," Tk stated, "You weren't with us when we first made it to Gennai's House."
"Well excuse me for being sick."
"Don't worry Kari," I said.
"We had a very similar reaction to this as well." Matt stated.
"Just get ready." Sora told her.
(Kari's POV)
We were standing in front of the lake and the others were just waiting; when all of a sudden stairs started to form and water was splitting. The others didn't react, but I swear I was going crazy. I didn't understand what was going on. Then the others just started heading down the stairs.
"Are you coming Kari?" Tk asked.
"Huh… ah yeah." I said.
I entered with Tk and we saw the others with Gennai, even Mimi was there.
"Mimi, how did you get here?" Tk asked.
"Well Izzy told me what happened and I entered over in America." She told him.
"Yeah, so Gennai what's going on?" Tai got straight to the point.
"Straight to the point as always Tai," Gennai responded, "Very well a couple months back the gate to the digital world was forced open and a person calling himself the Digimon Emperor came and started enslaving the Digimon."
"What!" We all responded.
"Enslaving Digimon some of the stronger Digimon tried to fight back." Gennai informed us, "Leomon Andromon and even Orgemon all tried to defeat the Digimon Emperor, but they were all enslaved."
"What about our Digimon Gennai?" Joe asked the question we were all afraid to answer.
"Well," Gennai said, "They're just fine I've been keeping them here until you all got here."
"Really where are they." Sora asked obviously excited to meet Biyomon.
"They were sleeping the last time I check which was just before you all got here."
I stood up and walked to the back room. I opened the door and-
"Kari!"
As I opened it I was greeted by my best friend Gatomon. "Gatomon it's great to see" I stated, "is everyone else awake."
"Yep, we're all up Kari."
I looked and I saw all of our partners Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon, Patamon, Palmon, Gomamon, and Tentomon. Everyone else got up and greeted they're old friends that we haven't seen in years. The ones who I swear were most happy to see each other again was without a doubt Tk and Patamon. I wasn't there at the beginning, but I think something probably happened because out of all of us those two have the closest relationship.
"Alright," Tai shouted, "now that we're here all we have to do is digivolve and then kick the Digimon emperor's ass."
"Ah that's right" Gennai announced, "The Digimon emperor can somehow stop digivolution."
"How does he do that?" Izzy asked.
"I'm not sure," Gennai said, "Some other Digimon says that it's the power of his black digivice."
"Digivice," Tai said, "you mean he's a Digidestined and he's human."
"Correct, I don't know why he's doing this, but something tells me it's an outside source." Gennai said.
"So if we can't digivolve," I stated, "how can we fight him?"
"I was waiting for one of you to ask," Gennai stated, "follow me."
We followed Gennai down even further down in his house and there we saw three shadows we weren't expecting.
"Tai what are you doing here?"
"Davis, I was about to ask you the same thing." Tai stated obviously surprised.
Standing in front of us were Davis, a girl who I never met, and a little boy. I honestly was so sure what was going to happen. Gennai surprised us in the past so I wouldn't be surprise if he changed things up.
"Yolei and Cody, what are you two doing here?" Tk asked.
"That's what we would like to know Tk," the girl, Yolei, asked, "Where are we?"
"We went home after school to find these devices at home." The little boy, Cody, stated showing us what looked like an upgraded version of our digivices.
"This is going to take a while." Matt stated.
Gennai explained to the three where they were, what happened three years ago, and why they were here. Honestly it was the why that surprised me the most.
"You three are here to as digidestineds to assists as new ones because the older ones will not be able to gain this power." Gennai told everyone.
The older members that we fought Myotismon, the Dark Masters, and Apocalymon would no longer continue fighting. "What do you mean Gennai?" I turned and saw my brother obviously upset. "What do you mean we can't wield the new power? And I want you to look me in the eye and tell me why."
"The reason is not something that you will like. You have done a lot for the digital world, but you need to live your own life, and I will not be sending them in without any one with experience" Gennai stated, "Kari Tk will you help these three."
I looked at Tk, I looked at my other friends, and I looked at the new digidestineds. "Very well," Tk stated, "I will help out and join them."
"What are you doing Kari?" I turned and my brother was giving me a little push, "They're going to need you."
"But-"
"No buts Kari they'll need you and Tk's experience." Matt told me.
"If you don't go now you'll regret it." Sora said.
"Alright I'll continue the fight," I said, "but can you promise me one thing."
"What do you need?" Izzy asked.
"If we ever need your help-"I was interrupted.
"Don't even finish that sentence," Mimi said, "You really have to ask."
"Alright wish us luck." I ran up to Tk, Davis, Yolei, and Cody.
(Sora's POV)
I was honestly a bit surprised we wouldn't be fighting the good fight with Tk, Kari, and the other new ones. Not that I'm angry at Gennai, and I understand if we can't digivolve we can't win. If anything I'm surprised Tai is letting Kari fight without him.
"I'm impressed Tai," I said, "letting Kari fight by herself without your protection."
"I'm not as over protective as people say I am," he responded, "she's tougher than a lot of us give her credit for."
"What are you talking about?" Matt asked.
"What do you mean?" Tai asked as well.
"You sound like you know something we don't." Matt responded, "So what is it?"
"You have to promise me not to tell Kari I know this." Tai told us, and we all nodded, "Alright." Tai started, "Late at night I would check on Kari make sure she's having a good night rest."
"That's a bit creepy Tai." Matt stated and I kind of agreed.
"Just shut up and let me finish." Tai said and we quieted down, "I would look at her and she was obviously having a bad dream and she kept repeating don't take me don't take me."
It was at that moment we all looked scared; we all saw Kari as a little sister to us and if she was scared by something we all were scared for her safety. We weren't sure what to do, but we all knew we had to do something.
(Tk's POV)
The five of us were walking with Gennai. Davis and I were one group and Yolei, Cody and Kari were another. While those three were laughing and getting to know each other better; Davis and I just walked in silence. One of us had to break the silence so I decided to be the one. "Davis," I started.
"I'm sorry," he responded back to my surprise, "I was out of line earlier and if we're going to work together from here on out we better get along."
"OK," I started, "who are you and where that guy I talked with this afternoon is."
"It's still me; I just realized that I don't know why I got jealous or even why I like Kari." He said.
We continued to walk and got to know each other more. I learned that he has an older sister, and he learned about the issue with my parents. We really got to know each other and we were fast friends. We then arrived at our location and in front of us were eight Digi-eggs each one with a mark of one of our crests.
"Alright you five," Gennai announced, "Stand in front of a Digi-egg and see if you can pick one up."
Kari and I started first heading straight for the Digi-eggs with our crest on them. No surprise we picked them up with no problems. Davis Yolei and Cody went for the Digi-eggs of courage, love and knowledge and picked them up with little difficulty. When we did our digivices upgraded into what Davis and everyone else's did. When they did three Digimon appeared; which can only mean that there they're partners.
"What about those other three Digi-eggs?" Kari asked.
"Well there could be three more digidestineds that we don't know about yet or some of you may possess two." He told us, "If you want to try to pull them you're welcome to come back and try."
"Mine if I ask are you going to be leading us and giving us advice during battle." Yolei asked.
"No I will not I will give you updates, but in terms of strategy and battle plans you have to rely on each other."
'Good old Gennai' I thought.
"As for leading," Gennai continued, "that's for you to decide. Tai was the leader in the previous group, so should Davis who possesses the Digi-egg of courage lead as well."
"Me?" Davis sounded a bit confused, "I just got here. I don't know anything about the digital world."
"Very true, so maybe the one with the most experience should lead." Gennai said as he turned towards me, "Tk are you ready to step up and lead this new team?" Gennai asked me.
I didn't know what to say true I had more experience than anyone here and have fought with every villain we've faced, but was I really ready to be a leader. I looked around at everyone's faces and it looked like they all had faith in me, but I wasn't so sure what if something happens like our battle against Devimon. I don't want anyone here to go through what I went through.
"Tk," I looked down at my partner Patamon, "I believe in you Tk."
As always Patamon knew just what I needed to hear. I needed the confidence and thanks to Patamon I have it.
"Alright Gennai," I started, "I'll lead this team.
A/N: Alright this one addressed my other nitpicks with 02. One I didn't like how the older ones just were like we aren't needed anymore eh no big deal. I always pictured them accepting it, but obviously wishing they could fight with everyone. Then my biggest complaint Davis never struck me as a leader even towards the end of the series. Tk who was there since the beginning should have been the leader in 02 I just made more sense to me. Anyways I am accepting OC's if I do have three new digidestineds for the other Digi-eggs, and you can decide if you want the OC or should I let what happened in the series happen. Review, Favorite and Follow, and I'll see you next time.
