A/N: For those wondering about the Valentines Day thing with Davis? There's this CD drama in Japan took place after the defeat of Belial Myotistmon. Basically Davis trying to find a date and changes his image to try and get one. First he became Matt, then tried to be Izzy, and finally the Digimon Kaiser. It ended with a fight with a digimon and mix-up of Digi eggs/digimentals. Afterwards, Matt, Izzy, and Ken told him they liked the old davis better.

Disclaimer: I don't own digimon, but I do own the Brotherhood.

Tai, T.K., Patamon, and Kari sat down in the living room couch of the Kamiya apartment. T.K. told the older siblingabout what happened today. Tai wasn't very happy, he was downright ticked off.

"Damn, so they showed themselves all ready? I didn't think they would emerge this early. I wonder why they would only send one of their men and that guy was taken down by Angemon."

"I figured the brotherhood sent him to test us. They probably thought if we believe this low class soldier was easy then rest of them will be a cake walk." said Patamon.

"He thought wrong, or he might have expected this." said the blonde preteen as he rubbed his chin. "Then again, I don't know what they're planning. I'm more concerned about Dagomon coming to get Kari."

"I'm scared about that too T.K., I don't want to go back to the Dark Ocean again. It was just.. a frightening experience."

"I don't know how to say this, but sooner or later we're going to have to confront them in their own turf." Tai assumed "Yes I know fighting on their side is dangerous, but we can't let them come into the real world. Maybe when we figure out a plan we can conduct an evasive action."

Kari nodded. "Yeah, we may have to. I'm scared, but I'm going to have to fight them sooner or later."

"Not just you Kari." T.K placed his hand on her shoulder. "All of us. We're in this together and we're going to fight this Brotherhood and Dagomon's forces."

"Thanks T.K."

"In the meantime." said Tai. "Izzy is going to report back to us as soon he is done talking to Gennai. If he has good news, then we're in for a good fight. If it's bad then we might as well search for something new to help us."

"We also need to be ready in case of anything from the Dark Ocean coming. Especially when not only Dagomon is there, but Demon as well." said Kari.

"Yeah, Demon was a tough cookie." reminded the rookie digimon. "I was hoping that he would stay there, but it wouldn't matter until he found a way to get of the Dark Ocean. He may get help from Dagomon himself."

"Yeah, but in the meantime, let's not concentrate on this right now. I can tell you guys are getting frightened just by thinking of it." Tai grabbed the controller. "So why not watch something. I wonder if my favorite show is on?" He said with a big smile on his face like a little kid receiving a new toy.

Kari let out a small chuckle at her brother acting like a kid. T.K. got up from the couch. "I gotta go. Patamon and I will see you tomorrow Kari."

"Bye."

The blonde boy left the room and out the door. "I'm going to my room. You should be doing your homework."

"Don't worry I'll do it after this show is over." Shesmiled againand left the room.

In the digital world, Izzy had asked Miyako to take him to the digital world to look for Gennai. There they met up with Hawkmon, Gatomon, and a disgruntled Veemon, having lost the poker tournament in the 1 round. Right now the group was at Piximon's training ground where they met a man with a tan robe and brown spiky hair. You could've sworn he looked like a jedi knight. Next to him a pink puff ball with wings.

"Izzy, Miyako, I'm glad you two are here."

"Hey, little blue guy, what's wrong?" asked Piximon.

Veemon grumbled. "I lost the poker tournament and only in the first round. It's not fair."

"I told you not participate." Gatomon scolded. "I told you wouldn't last either. Why didn't you listen to me?"

"They offered free candy there." He started moping. "But it was only to the digimon who made it past the first round."

Hawkmon shrugged his shoulders. "Plus Gomamon shoved it in your face afterwards."

"He lost in the semi-finals." Gatomon looked at Veemon. "Are you happy now?"

"No." Veemon walked away. "I'll wait out here until you guys finish."

Gatomon watched the little blue dragon walk away. "Oh, Veemon."

"Anyway," said Izzy, ignoring the scene that happened. "We're here to ask you something and I think you may hold the answer."

A beeping sound could be heard from the intellectual teen's pocket. He took out the device, which was his D-Terminal, and read the message inside. His eyes lowered as he closed it. Gennai knew the look on the destined child's face and figured something was wrong.

"Gennai, let me explain."

Izzy explained the nightmare that Kari had last night and the letter that told him about the first attack from the enemy today. Gatomon didn't like the news, but she was glad Kari was safe.

"That's that." Izzy finished explaining.

"Why didn't Daisuke and Iori help?" asked the purple hair girl, she was kind of ticked off that her two younger friends didn't help."

Izzy shrugged. "Maybe, they had something important to do?"

"Kari is safe for now at least, but what are going to do? We don't have DNA Digivolving on our side anymore. I doubt a miracle will fly out of our butts in the last minute."

Hawkmon nodded. "I concur, we will need proper gear to be ready for the new plan of attack."

"Yep, yep, I suggest you bring your digimon here to train with me for a bit. It may no be enough, but it will help them get a little stronger."

Gatomon looked at the hawk digimon. "What do you say Hawkmon?"

"Splendid." responded the bird digimon.

"Meanwhile I'll have a talk with Azulongmon about this. I may have another idea on how to help your fight against this Brotherhood and Dagomon. You will need all the help you can get."

"Thanks Gennai, I knew we count on you to help us."

"Don't mention it, beside I never heard of this Brotherhood in the digital Archives. I think Azulongmon would know who they are and where they are."

"Meanwhile we'll keep watch over things back in our world." said Miyako.

"We'll make sure to stop those creeps from attack Kari. Izzy, Hawkmon, Gatomon let's go."

"Wait I need to find Tentomon and Gomamon. Jyou and I will need them just in case we're attacked."

The purple haired girl winked and gave him a thumbs up. "No problem." Although, Miyako was a bit scared of confronting the Dark Ocean. Even with Demon residing there it still wouldn't calm her nerve.

"Great, we're going to have to fight Demon all over again. We couldn't even beat him let put a scratch on him. Why do I get the feeling that was a bad idea."

Miyako was right to have such feeling because deep within the black and white world of the Dark Ocean. A plan was being made by two powerful creatures. Demon floated above the black water staring a pair crimson in eyes in the water. He was conversing with the undersea lord himself, Dagomon. The waves crashed onto the shore calmly as they talked about their plan.

"With my magic I could change most of your minions into well adapted soldiers."

"They are shape shifters. They can turn into anything they desire. They fooled the child of light, thinking they were helpless divermon. Why do I need your help?"

"We both want the same goal, yet different things. You want the girl while I want those children's heads on a mantle. If we work together, then we'll be able to control both worlds. My magic will give them more power to contend with the destined digimon."

"I only desire the girl and nothing more. My future queen… my future tool to evolution."

"So? Do you agree?"

"Only you don't hurt the female. I'll gladly use my servants to help you and I escape from here. Once they find a way how to set us free we can scourge the land and bring destruction to man and digital kind."

"Excellent, my magic will be a great asset to you."

The leader of Brotherhood was staring out the window of his sleeping quarters gazing out at the barren red sky. He despised living in such a place. How he wish he was back in the digital world where the blue sky once stood. However, he also wanted to rule the world and claim it as his own. For years he and his brethren had been stuck in this dimension with no way of escape. He will reside in this place no longer. They had discovered a means of exiting this dimension, but it would only last for a short time. Not enough to bring an entire army. It was only enough to supply 10 in all. He turned his head slightly when heard the door open.

"What is it Zain?"

The gray skinned knight, who was now called by his name, walked into the room and bowed. "We assigned another Orcmon sir, this time he's stronger than the last one."

"Did you give him the Gauntlet?"

"Yes, I told him to adapt to it over night so he'll be ready for combat by tomorrow."

"Good, are the Catch and Sealed team reaching their target?"

"Of course, they will have the target acquired in no time."

"Anything else to report?"

"There is no word of the spies in the Dark Ocean. In fact we haven't received their daily check up. We fear Dagomon discovered them."

"Hmph, I figured as much. You may leave."

"Yes, Lord Zalmas. Glory to the Brotherhood."

Zalmas nodded. "May those perish under our might."

The next day, Kari, T.K., Daisuke, and Iori stood outside of the entrance of the school talking about what happened yesterday. They had enough time for school to start so the child of hope figured it was the best time to inform their two friends of the news. Iori narrowed his eyes.

"I didn't like the fact he was put on a suicide mission. I mean why send someone that you know would be killed easily?"

"I don't like it either Iori, I find it pretty awful myself." Kari solemnly said.

"Who do they think they are!" growled the gogglehead. "I say we go to the Dark Ocean and put and end to this."

"Daisuke, think for a moment. We can't just rush in like that and expect them to go down so easily." said Iori.

"I know, but."

"But what?" Kari approached the boy. "I know you mean well, but we can't charge in or else we'll be killed."

He rubbed the back of his head knowing she was right. "Yeah… do you think Azulongmon will let us use the digi cores again?"

T.K. shrugged. "I hope so, we'll need them. We don't have the crest nor DNA digivolution. If that fails we need an alternative."

The young motomiya smiled. "Leave that to me. I'll find a solution. I'll search high and low and in between to find one."

"Find what?"

The group turned around to find Mizuki walking towards them. The goggle head grinned. "Mizuki, are you feeling sore from yesterday."

"Yeah, that really was a workout. Who knew DDR could be so exhausting." Daisuke smiled.

"You're first time on one too. I'm surprised you could keep up with me."

"Heh, I'm surprise how agile you are."

She looked at the group behind him. "Hi everybody."

"You're from Osaka aren't you? I can tell by your accent." asked Iori.

"Sure am. Who are you?"

"I'm Iori Hida."

"Mizuki Daigo, I'll see you in class Daisuke." She walked past the group and into the school yard.

"I see you two had fun yesterday."

"She is such a tomboy and she likes art and music." said Daisuke as he scratched his head. "I can't understand art sometimes. It's just a picture."

"Do you wish to understand art more? Tomorrow go to the art exhibit with her." said the blonde boy.

"YEAH, that's a great idea!" "I'm sure she would like it."

"Ye-, hey wait aren't suppose to talk about you and this situation we're having?"

Kari giggled. "I don't want to think about, I'm just happy about your friend. You think of her as a friend right?"

The boy blinked. "Yeah, you think we need to rush into a relationship? We're still kids we don't have time for that. So we need to enjoy our spring time of youth while we can."

T.K. nodded. "Yeah, we barely even understand love let alone fulfill it."

Kari stared at T.K. for a few moments and returned to her normal demeanor. "Next I'll show her Veemon… maybe."

T.K. frowned. "I understand, not everyone accepting the fact that digimon exist." Daisuke sighed. "Some time down the road ya know?"

RING!

"Ack, we're late!" shouted the goggle head as he rushed toward the school. The three destine sighed.

"That was only the first warning." said Iori.

"Eh, let's just do the same before we're late." said T.K.

The group walked inside the school building.

Around noon a portal was a opened from alley within the city. If someone was present at the time, they could feel the dark energies flowing out of the portal. Stepping out of the portal was 12 foot humanoid creature clad with red and black armor. He had a pentagram symbol on the front of his armor and wore a blood red cape. On his right waste side he had sword with a gold handle in a black sheath that also had a pentagram on it.

"Kill the destined and snatch the child of light."

He leapt from his spot and landed on top of the building. He leapt from building to building where hewould reach his goal.

It was the end of the day and the students and teachers went home to enjoy their weekend. Among them, Miyako trekked down the sidewalk to Odaiba Junior High. She received a message from the gang to meet them at the computer room. She informed them that she wanted to talk to them about something when she arrived. Walking beside her was Hawkmon. More people are now aware of digimon now, but there are those that won't accept such creatures. Close mindedness in the making.

"Woo, after all week of school I'm ready to rest for two days."

"Having problems at school?"

"No, it's just a bit stressful. I suspect next week to be the same."

"Ah, but think if it as prep for your future. Who knows what career you plan on doing."

"Yeah," Miyako agreed with bird digimon.

They turned the corner into the Odaiba Junior High school yard.

"Here we go."

"AHHH!" Someone screamed.

Everyone's looked toward the source of the scream which was a guy and a girl shivering in fear of a creature walking towards them. Everyone started to panic and ran away before they would get caught by the monster. Hawkmon got into his battle stance.

"Miyako, I have never seen this creature before."

"I haven't either, what could it be?"

"Who knows, just digivolve me to Shurimon and then go get the others. Hurry, we shouldn't stall any longer."

"Right."

Miyako took out her D3. "Digi armor energize!"

Hawkmon armor digivolve to….. Shurimon. The ninja digimon sprang in for an attack while the purple haired girl ran in to alert her friends of the danger.

"They better be in the computer room by the time I get there. Daisuke too.

The young motomiya stood in front ofcomputer room doors, feeling annoyed about earlier today. It was a very good day today, but it had some faults.

"Lance, always find the best way to crawl under my skin. It ticks me off."

He stared at the door. "Too bad Mizuki isn't free tomorrow since has to help her mother and brother unpack. Maybe something exciting will happen today."

Daisuke opened the door quickly to the computer and slammed it shut just as fast. "Augh, Veemon where are you?"

"RIGHT HERE!"

The blue dragon tackled Daisuke to the floor. T.K., Kari, Iori, and their digimon couldn't help, but laugh.

"Ack Veemon what's this all of a sudden."

"He's just excited about his training with Piximon." said T.K.

"Is that it? How strong are you little guy?"

"It wasn't much training," Gatomon spoke with displeasure in her voice. "He gave us a lesson on combat and tactics we should perform. I mean it was nothing new that I learned and we had to CLEAN his home. EVERY inch of filth he had at his disposal. I tell, it was nothing that I had in mind."

"I reckon it was just one of those pre training exercise," The rookie armadillo looked over at Gatomon. "Or it was just to teach us something important. Remember that movie Iori where the kid was told how to wash a car?"

The young boy nodded. "Yeah, Wax on and wax off. It really did teach him something."

Veemon jumped up and down. "Really it brought up my spirits from yesterdays lost. I lost the money and no candy was given to me."

"I hope that taught you a lesson on NOT to gamble."

"That and not to trust Gomamon again." He narrowed his eyes. "That Terriermon who beat me was a clever bunny, he had me in early. The last thing he said was um… was it memento, or something?"

"I was there with you." The white cat spoke. "He said momentai. I had to drag you out of there and keep you by my side for the rest of the day."

Veemon shrugged. "That trip to the digital library did calm me."

"You were depressed that entire time and didn't say word. It bothered that you never spoke a word and I never seen you this upset. Furthermore..."

"Anyway." Kari interrupted the argument. "What are we going to do now? We would have to meet Gennai sooner or later.?"

"Izzy hasn't received any messages from him yet. So we have to wait until then." answered T.K.

The door to the room opened causing everyone to face it. Rushing in was a very frantic Miyako with a distressful look on her face.

"Oh, Miyako what's wrong?" asked the Kamiya girl.

BOOM!

An explosion erupted from outside. The purple haired girl pointed out the window.

"THAT'S WRONG! I was on my way to see you guys when Hawkmon and I were attacked. Right now he's fighting it as Shurimon. He needs your help come on."

Daisuke grinned. "Finally, Veemon let's show them what you learned."

"Right."

Everyone followed Miyako out of the room.

All the students and teachers managed to escape the battle that was taking place on the school grounds. Shurimon slid back on his feet after receiving a blow from the enemy. It was an Orcmon, but this creature was different from the other Orcmon from yesterday. He had the same armor, yet he was armed with a sword in one hand and an arm bracer covered with electricity.

"Fool, I'm stronger than the one you fought yesterday. As an added bonus I am equipped with lightning Bracer which will give me power of lightning."

Shurimon got on into his fighting stance again. "I have never met someone like you yesterday. One of your comrades fought an ally of mine. If you want to fight him, then I suggest you fight me first."

The ninja digimon dashed toward the Orcmon, but phased out of sight which surprised the creature.

"What is this teleportation?"

He was slashed across the back and fell forward. Orcmon, realized it wasn't teleportation.

"Ah yes." He got up and faced the digimon. "Using your speed is your advantage over me, but I was trained to face certain opponents like you."

Shurimon prepared to strike again. "Fine then, we'll have another go at this."

Shurimon phased out once again, leaving the other digital creature alone. The orcmon narrowed his and swung his sword to left and managed to block the ninja digimon's attack. Shurimon was a little shocked, but he pushed it aside and jumped forward. The ninja digimon turned around to face him again.

"You were telling the truth."

"Of course, the Brotherhood is superior in every way. There's no way someone like you will defeat us."

"Guess again!"

They turned toward the entrance to find the Miyako and the others rushing towards him. T.K., Kari, and Patamon felt they were looking at ghost from the past, well a ghost from yesterday if you want to put it that way.

"Is this the same guy?" questioned T.K.

"I don't think so, Shurimon looks like he needs help."

Daisuke held out his D3. "Then let's give him a good beat down."

The ninja felt a presence and turned quickly. He saw an armor creature with red and silver armor, diving toward the children. The ninja digimon leapt toward the digimon and blocked the attack. Both combatants jumped away from each other and landed on the floor.

"It looks like we have someone new to fight."

"Where did he come from? Is he with the Brotherhood?"

By sniffing the air, the Orcmon could tell if it was from its own or not. The Brotherhood minion frowned upon the conclusion.

"You're not from our army. Who are you?"

"I am MagiKnightmon, I was created from the magic of Demon and from the dark powers of Dagomon to fulfill their need."

The children gasped upon his statement. Kari most of all was horrified. The Dark Ocean's occupants had sent someone to capture her. She clutched onto T.K. shoulder since it seemed that she was still a apprehensive about being taken to the Dark Ocean once again. She was horrified even more as the knight stared at her with crimson eyes of evil.

"Dagomon wants you Lady Hikari. You should fulfill his wish."

"No."

T.K. stood in front of her. "I won't let you."

Miyako gulped, she had her share of experience of the Dark Ocean while she was with Ken and Kari. That was the day Slyphimon was born. She pushed her fear aside. "Everyone evolve your digimon and help out shurimon." Daisuke frowned. "Looks like this a three way battle. Let's GO! Digi armor energize!"

Veemon armor digivolve to… Flamedramon

Patamon digivolve to…. Angemon

Armadilliomon armor digivolve to…. Digmon

Gatomn armor digivolve to… Nefertimon

Nefertimon and Angemon floated in front of the dark knight digimon as they were getting ready to attack. Meanwhile Flamedramon and Digmon joined up with Shurimon to hold off the Orcmon.

Daisuke smiled. "This battle is all about team work and nothing else."

"Angemon, Nerfertimon." shouted the blonde boy. "Be careful of Magiknightmon, he may prove to be more deadly than you think."

"We're well aware of that T.K." said Nefertimon. "We'll watch our steps with him."

Magiknightmon raised his sword at the two angelic digimon. "The child will come with me."

"Not on our watch." Nefertimon flew towards the dark knight as she readied her attack. "Rosetta Stone!"

The stone tablet, she created above her, shot at the knight like a missile. The magic digimon evade the attack before it struck him. Angemon kicked Magiknightmon and then delivered a right hook to its face. The evil being recovered from the hit and elbow the angel in the gut.. hard. The angel digimon doubled over feeling the pain of the blow as his opponent was preparing to slice his head off.

"Buster Blade-" Nefertimon tackled him, canceling out his attack. She turned around a delivered a donkey kick to the knight causing the knight stagger back.

"Stupid wench. Dark Sphere!"

The purple and black ball struck the digimon and sent her flying back.

"Holy Rod!"

Angemon struck the dark being with his staff and struck him again in his mid section. The dark knight glared.

"You'll pay for that." He thrust his arm forward.

"Magical Helix!"

A ball of energy shot forward and sent the angel digimon back.

"Angemon stand your ground!" T.K shouted at his friend.

Angemon levitated up in the air as he was preparing for another strike. Nefertimon floated alongside of the angelic warrior. Magiknightmon examined them carefully. He had to be careful not to fail on this mission. "Hmm."

"Angemon now!"

"Right, Hand of Fate!"

"Beam of Isis!"

The knight digimon growled as he raised his hand. "Barrier."

The two attacks struck the barrier and phased out of existence. Just as he deactivated the barrier Angemon rushed forward with another Hand of Fate. The magi digimon dodged the attack, however Angemon spun around in a cirlcle creating a tornado called the Godly Tornado. The knight got caught by the attack. MagiKnightmon was caught in the wind that he was blown to the sky. The tornado sent him upward, spinning and spinning. MagiKnightmon vanished from the tornado and stood in front of the duo.

"MagiKnightmon return." Ordered Demon

"Why?"

"Change of plans."

He snorted and stared at the duo. "You won today." He glared at the children. T.K. stood in front of Kari, guarding her. "However, the girl will be brought over to Lord Demon and Dagomon. Good bye for now."

The portal to the dark ocean opened. The magic warrior walked through and vanished.

"Titan Drill!"

By using the drill on his face he dashed towards the brotherhood solider and struck him against his chest. The creature growled feeling the pain from the attack, but dispersed the pain and used his electrified arm and punched the armor level digimon across the face sending him flying across the pavement.

"Oi, this guy sure does bring up shocking point about his strength."

"Enough with the puns." Shurimon comment as he rushed at the digimon. "Kusanagi!"

He grabbed the giant Shuriken on his back launched it at the creature. The orcmon knocked it away with his sword and then leapt toward the ninja digimon. Shurimon brought his arm to block the attack from hitting him and used his other arm to strike him, but the orcmon grabbed his arm and gave him surge of electricity. Shurimon grunt against the shock and managed to free himself by kicking the creature in the gut.

"Express Claw!"

The fire digimon of courage dashed up to him and unleashed fury of claw strikes and finished it off with a spinning roundhouse kick. The orcmon sent a bolt of lightning at the digimon only to have him dodge it.

"Flame Fist!"

He sent a flaming fist into gut of the beast sending him flying back.

"Gold Rush!"

Drill missiles, sent from the bug beetle of knowledge, struck the beast in midair while causing him to fall back to the earth. The three armored digimon held their ground as the Brotherhood solider got back on his feet.

"Awe, I thought we had him." Digmon was disappointed. "Looks like I'm going to have to wam on him some more."

"He is tough I'll give him credit for that." Shurimon examined the situation. "We're just going to have to give use another tactic on this guy."

"I won't give you that chance digital whelps."

The creature created a large sphere of lightning from the power of his gauntlet.

"Can you dodge it or block it?" He aimed it at the children. "I wonder can you?"

"Hey wait!" Flamedramon shouted.

"DIE!" He released the sphere.

Miyako screamed in terror. "He's attacking us!"

"MOVE!" shouted T.K.

The children managed to avoid from getting hit, but the sphere of lightning managed to cause a small crater upon impact leaving. The group stared at the small crater that was made with shockng expressions.

"Dude. That could have been us." The gogglehead said in awe.

"Angemon did you see that?"

"Yes Nefertimon I did, that attack could've vaporized them had they not moved. It was too fast for us to even save them. No one got hurt at least."

Orcmon snorted. "The next one won't miss."

"Oh really" Digmon slammed his drills into the ground.

"ROCK CRACKING!"

The power from the drills caused a tremor to occur underneath Orcmon's feet and managed to create a pit for him to fall in to. Just as soon as he fell in he quickly got out and shot a bolt of lightning at the group.

"Autumn Wind!" He phased out leaving a pile of leaves where he once was.

Flamedramon's claws erupted into flames. "Never try to hurt our partners. FIRE ROCKET!"

The digital brought up his sword to shield himself from the flames, he was sure he would disperse them.

"Kusanagi!"

His eyes shot wide open, he forgot about Shurimon and it was too late for that. The ninja digimon had snuck behind him and sliced him across the back using his giant shuriken and jumped away before the barrage of fire balls made its target.

"Have another helping, FIRE ROCKET!"

The extra dose of flames were too much for him causing him to explode into data. The lightning gauntlet he got dropped to the ground and shattered into data particles.

"OH YEAH! Another victory for us!" cheered Daisuke.

"But we killed him." Iori still didn't like the idea of taking away of another life.

Digmon turned to face his partner. "Iori I'm sorry, but it had to be done. If we let him get away he would have come back and get us when we least expect it."

"Magiknightmon retreated." spoke Angemon. "He'll come again and may bring others."

"The brotherhood won't like the news of killing another one of their soliders." said Nefertimon.

"I don't think we should talk here guys. We have to get out of here before someone comes."

"Miyako is correct," Shurimon said in agreement. "I sense the police coming."

"We're going to Izzy's house. He told me to tell you guys to meet him there." said the purple haired girl.

"Why didn't you call us on your D-Terminal!" wondered the gogglehead.

"I wanted to tell you in person. Besides I feel nostalgic all of sudden."

"Oh, well let's get out of here!"

The kids and the digimon ran away from the site of the battle before anyone saw them. They didn't want to answer any questions nor getting blamed for what happened. As stated earlier there were still people who have not accepted digimon yet.

Izzy, Tai, and Sora were over at Izzy's place. They trio were waiting for the others to get here, Yamato had Band practice so he would be a little late. Jyou would be here shortly. Mimi was coming here from America through the digital world. How she was coming here through the digital world was thanks to a new means of transportation called Trailmon Inc. The intellectual teen tapped his finger on the desk impatiently. He was obviously waiting for something.

"Um Izzy." Sora was wondering what was wrong. "Are you waiting for something?"

"Hmm."

Tai groaned. "Eh, Izzy snap out of it."

"Sorry." Izzy said as he scratched his head. "It's just that Gennai was suppose to e-mail me stating he was going to arrive and I expected the sig of his arrival as soon as we got here. He said he would e-mail the information this afternoon and come as soon as I got on my computer. All we have now is nothing, nada, zip. This is not like him."

"Maybe he got lost on the path of life."

"Tai."

"Eh, sorry."

The computer started to flash causing Izzy to jump out of his chair in a hurry.

"See Izzy right on time." said the child of courage.

What happened next shocked the three destine. As soon as the light disappeared, Gennai had appeared in the room, but he was battered, bruise, and his clothes were torn. Sora gasped while Tai and Izzy stared at him in shock.

"Gennai!" shouted Izzy.

Gennai breathed heavily as he tried to speak.

"D…digi… destined."

His last words before he collapsed on the floor. Falling out of robe were three objects. A digicore, half of a digicore, and a small electronic device. Izzy checked his pulse and looked at his friends.

"I'll get my mom."

The teen ran out of the room to inform his mother leaving Tai and Sora alone to tend Gennai.

"Who could've done this." said Sora worriedly.

Tai clenched his fist in anger. "Who knows, we're going to find out as soon as wakes up.

Next chapter: Story of the Brotherhood. Searching for new means of combat.

Well, that's it for this chapter. I'm going to answer some review question in my forum. Just go to my profile. Also, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page you can to websites that were helpful in finding out digimon attacks and pictures. Also the Japanese school year is kind of different than ours. They finished the school year at the end of March and begin to enter their next grade, such as 7th grade, in April. Interesting eh? Yeah most of you knew that. Oh and Saturday school is over, I read an article about it months ago in case you were wondering... or you weren't. Later.
