Ep. 3. Duo of Light and Hope
Yolei: We went to the Digital World again, but things took a turn for the worse when Tommy and Bearmon got captured by the Digimon Emperor. I didn't like being attacked by monsters at all either! But then we got to this temple where Cody and I got our Digimentals and met our partners. Not only that, but someone called Lady Ophanimon told us I'm the Child of Compassion while Cody's the Child of Integrity, whatever that means. We helped our partners to digivolve and saved our new friend. Life is never going to be boring again!
At Odaiba High School, Izzy wasn't paying attention to anything the teacher said. Since he had already completed all work and any homework the teacher would give for today's lesson, he could use the time to ponder over the recent events.
Hmm… I wonder how Tentomon's doing? They said the Digimon Emperor never comes out at night, so he's probably there now enslaving innocent Digimon.
Wait a second, that's it! He's a human, so we should use different tactics to fight him. We could try communicating with him. And if that fails, we can try again by figuring out his identity and talking to him again in the Human World. Well, I guess that could work.
Glancing at the board to make sure the teacher wouldn't notice what he was doing, Izzy pulled out his D-terminal from his school bag and opened it. By pressing a button that was at its side, he made a little keyboard pop out, then typed a message to the others.
'Anyone who can go to the Digital World after school today, meet up with everyone at the elementary school in the computer lab at four o'clock. I won't be there because I have a computer club meeting, but I'm sure there's someone who has the time to go to the Digital World to confront the Digimon Emperor and try to convince him what he's doing is wrong. Good luck!'
At another class in the same building, Tai was nearly nodding off. Now I wish I had listened to Kari about doing my homework on time instead of in the middle of the night. The year has only started but they're already driving us like slaves. Speaking of slaves, what's the Digimon Emperor up to?
Pulling out his D-terminal from his backpack to see if anyone was as bored as he was, Tai opened it to type a message to Matt, who was sitting three columns to the right from him at the other side of the classroom. He noticed that there was a message for everyone from Izzy, who apparently had finally started carrying his D-terminal around again.
After he read the message, Tai typed: 'Sure thing, Einstein. I'll go today.' Then he took an empty page from his notebook and crumbled it into a ball. Aiming at the blond's head, Tai threw the paper ball at his best friend.
It hit, making Matt turn to his best friend and give him a glare. But when he noticed Tai waving his D-terminal, he understood.
Just as the Child of Friendship was about to take out his D-terminal from his bag, he heard the teacher shout: "Kamiya!" Both boys flinched and turned their attention to the old man who was walking towards Tai with his ruler in hand. He slammed it on the teenager's desk, saying: "Since you have time to wave your arms about and don't think paying attention to a lesson is important, I assume you have plenty of time to stay after school for detention."
"What? No, Sir. Sorry," the brunette said hastily. Unfortunately, the teacher wouldn't hear of it. Great! Now I gotta do some stupid extra work when I coulda gone to see Agumon. I hope he's okay…
At that moment in the Digital World, Agumon was walking through the area he had agreed on guarding. It was the place where Tommy had gotten his Digimental two days ago.
Hearing the sound of a motorbike, the Rookie turned and caught a glimpse of someone in red going past quite a long way away. Huh? Did I just see…? Nah, I must've imagined it.
In his new homeroom at Odaiba Elementary School, Tommy was fiddling with his new D-terminal, still wearing the cap backwards and the goggles over it despite the teacher's complaints. He found the message from Izzy and grinned, answering that he would definitely go and tell the other kids about it too.
After their lessons were over for the first half of the day, Tommy, Sara, TK and Kari headed to the computer room. On the way there, TK checked his D-terminal for new messages. "Tai, Matt, Sora and Izzy can't make it today. So I guess it's just us then," the Child of Hope said, re-pocketing his D-terminal.
"Who's Matt?" Tommy asked.
"My big brother. He's a DigiDestined too," TK replied.
"How many of you are there?" Sara wanted to know, though she put on a mask of indifference.
"Eight. Me, Tai, TK, Sora, Matt, Izzy, a girl named Mimi who moved to America and a high school senior called Joe," Kari answered. She considered asking about Sara's team, but decided against it. She and Tommy will probably tell us when they're ready to.
In the computer room, the In-Training Digimon, who had been left there for the day, were playing around when Wanyamon suddenly stopped his giggling. He bounced to the door and looked at it as humans' footsteps came nearer.
"Shells like Tommy," he whispered, sniffing the air. [He means smells.]
"You saying I stink?" Tommy asked, opening the door with the other three preteens right behind him.
"It ish Tommy!" Wanyamon cheered as he jumped to his human partner's arms.
The other In-Training Digimon asked about their partners' whereabouts. "Don't worry, they'll be here soon," Kari replied as she smiled.
"Ah! I hear someone now," Tommy grinned and leaned back to see Yolei running up to them with a full grocery bag.
"Sorry I'm late, but I brought food from my family's convenience store," she said, showing the different treats in the plastic bag.
"Good idea. In-Training Digimon are bottomless pits," TK remarked, smiling in his usual cheerful way. Tommy nodded in agreement.
"Can we eat this?" Upamon asked as Yolei placed the open plastic bag on the ground. (He and the other two had been given some leftovers by their human partners last night.)
"Yeah, here you go," Tommy said, taking a drink from the plastic bag and opened it before holding it out to the Digimon. Wanyamon sniffed it, then took it into his mouth and gulped down the drink quickly.
Once he was done, he jumped up and down cheering: "Wowee, I love it!" Next he sucked on a bar of chocolate, while Upamon munched on a bag of crisps.
"Yes, it's great! The best I've ever had in the whole two days of my life!" the pale yellow Digimon cried out, jumping up and down. Patamon laughed at his new friend's antics from where he and Gatomon were watching in the Digital World through the gate, while Poromon tried a hot drink.
"GHAAAAAAAA! IT'S HOT! HOT! HOT!" he cried flying around the room, before bumping into the two fluff balls. Upon collision they burst into giggles.
Gatomon watched the lower-level Digimon with an annoyed look. "I hope my litter doesn't act like this," she mumbled with a deadpan expression.
Tommy's cell phone started ringing. He left the room when he saw who was calling. "Yello?" the newest goggle-boy said to his cell phone, standing in the corridor.
"Hey, Tommy! Is it okay if I come by your school now? I want to see if the others and I can go to the Digital World through that Digiport thingy," the person on the other end said. Tommy nodded and agreed that it was fine, adding that the others shouldn't even be asking him permission. "Yeah, I know, but Zoe woulda had my head if I don't ask first," the caller laughed. Tommy laughed too.
"Hold on, we have to wait for Cody," Kari said as Tommy returned into the computer room accompanied by the smaller boy who had just arrived.
"Well, everyone's here now so lets go," Tommy said, taking out his digivice and pointing it at the computer screen. The others nodded and followed the brunette into Digital World.
Tommy and Bearmon, Sara, Yolei and Hawkmon, Cody and Armadillomon, TK, and Kari passed through the dimensional barrier between the two worlds. They found themselves standing on grassland.
"You guys are back to normal," Cody gasped as he stared at the Digimon.
"We change back when we return to the Digital World," his Digimon partner explained. Armadillomon grinned as Hawkmon stood next to him and Bearmon. TK explained that it was because the Digimon used up more energy in the Human World since it wasn't their home world.
Suddenly, a digivice went off. "Huh? Maybe there's a Digimental close by," TK said, staring disbelievingly at the small screen of his little digivice.
"A Digimental?" Yolei asked, blinking and then glancing around.
"Maybe it's Sara's," Kari suggested. "Whoever it belongs to, we should check it out." The others agreed and they all started to walk in the direction of whatever the Child of Hope's digivice was detecting. The area was very similar to the one where Tommy's Digimental had been found.
"What are you doing here?" a voice growled angrily.
"Ah, look, it's the Digimon Emperor!" Yolei cried out as the spiky-haired boy seemed to appear in front of them from thin air.
"Damn," Sara muttered under her breath. She and the other Warriors (save for Tommy) didn't have a D-terminal, so she couldn't know about the others' plan of talking to the boy.
"Look, we don't want any trouble," Tommy said, "We just wanna talk to you." He walked over to the Emperor and held out his hand in an offer of friendliness. The Emperor smirked and pushed his hand through Tommy.
"He's not really there. It's an illusion!" TK said in realization, glancing around him.
"What do you think you're doing, sneaking into the Digital World?" the illusion-Emperor asked, looking from one child to the next.
"What's he going on about?" Kari asked.
"The Digital World belongs to me and I don't take kindly on trespassers," the Emperor said, making everyone glare at him, especially the Digimon.
"No, it doesn't!" Sara snapped. If the boy before her wasn't an illusion, she would have tackled him and given him a punch to the face for that comment. "The Digital World doesn't belong to anybody, it's the home of Digimon like our world is home to us. The only ones who could be allowed to consider it as theirs are Lady Ophanimon, Lord Seraphimon and Lord Cherubimon!"
The Digimon Emperor and everyone else except Tommy looked at her in surprise, but the Emperor got over his quickly and vanished. The others were trying to figure out who the Lady and Lords Sara mentioned were, when they heard a loud roar.
Everyone looked around and saw the real Digimon Emperor riding on a red T-Rex's shoulder. It was a Tyrannomon and had a dark ring around its neck, its eyes glowing a creepy blood red to signify that it was under his control like the other enslaved Digimon the past two days.
"You are in a place where you don't belong. You have 24 hours to leave," the Emperor yelled down at them.
"Wow, the landlord told my uncle the same thing" Tommy joked with a straight face. Kari bit her bottom lip to stop herself from giggling while Sara shot her cousin a semi-annoyed, semi-amused look.
"We have just as much right to be here as you do!" TK yelled angrily, all joking aside.
"This world and everything in it belongs to me so all of you get out!" the Emperor said, leaning on the Digimon's head.
"Try and make us," Yolei said, walking forward while glaring at the spiky-haired boy.
Cody shook his head, not surprised. I should tell her that we were supposed to convince that guy what he's doing is wrong. But she won't listen anyway…
"Get them, Tyrannomon," the Emperor ordered the large Digimon.
"Blaze Blast!" Tyrannomon yelled as he shot fire out of his mouth. Everybody ran out of the blast's way.
"Is that all you've got?" Tommy yelled at the Emperor, who growled at his bravado. He pulled out his changed D-tector and held it up. "Digi-armour-energize!"
"So much for talking to him," Cody mumbled as Bearmon began to glow with the by-now-familiar golden hued white light.
"Bearmon armour digivolve to… IceLeomon, Frozen Warrior!"
"Ha, now this is why I'm a genius. You keep using the same attacks while I keep coming up with new ideas," the Emperor said from his spot on the Tyrannomon's shoulder, feeling over-confident.
"You know, he's got a point," Tommy said, looking at the others who frowned.
He turned his attention back to the Digimon Emperor, remembering how he had seemed vaguely familiar yesterday. Doesn't matter. Once all this is dealt with, I can talk to him peacefully and find out why he seems familiar.
Then Tyrannomon let out a growl and charged at IceLeomon, sending him backwards. IceLeomon did a back flip before pushing himself off one of the trees.
"Fist of Ice!" he yelled, attacking the dinosaur. Tyrannomon spun around and knocked the lion-man away with its tail.
"Now Yolei?" Hawkmon asked, looking at his partner.
Yolei nodded and held up her digivice. "Digi-armour-energize!"" she yelled.
The Rookie bird Digimon glowed and transformed. "Hawkmon armour digivolve to… Halsemon, Loving Wings of Compassion."
Yolei jumped onto Halsemon's back just before he took off into the air. "Blaze Blast!" Tyrannomon yelled, attacking Halsemon and Yolei, but they easily dodged the attack.
"Tempest Wing!" Halsemon yelled as he {describeTempestWing}, attacking the Tyrannomon and so sending it backwards with a loud thump. Yolei groaned a little, feeling a headache forming at all the spinning {thatis,ifTempestWingisthemovewhereHalsemonspins!}.
"Do you really think I wouldn't have a backup plan?" the Emperor yelled as more Tyrannomon appeared all around them.
"There are five of them now!" Yolei cried looking around.
"Ready Armadillomon?" Cody asked, turning to look at his Digimon partner. He knew Submarimon would be disadvantaged, but felt that he should at least try to help out with the fight if he had even a small chance to do so. The others needed his help and he wouldn't be a reliable friend if he didn't do something.
"Ready when you are," the Rookie armadillo Digimon nodded.
"Digi-armour-energize!" Cody yelled, holding up his digivice.
"Armadillomon armour digivolve to… Submarimon, the Reliable Guardian of Seas!"
"Why don't you let us digivolve so we can fight? What are you afraid of?" Gatomon yelled at the Digimon Emperor as Patamon came up behind her.
"Yeah!" he yelped.
"As long as I have this digivice, you'll never digivolve," the Emperor replied before smirking at them, holding up a digivice identical to the new ones except that it was very dark purple with black grips. "And besides, you two are useless. I might as well get rid of you now."
"Leave them alone!" TK yelled and Kari gasped as two of the Tyrannomon attacked their partners, sending the two un-evolved Digimon flying so they hit a couple trees before falling to the ground.
"I thought that cats are always supposed to land on their feet," Patamon joked, then groaned.
"Oh shut up," Gatomon moaned back before both of them jumped up and dodged another attack.
But as another attack came at them they were saved by Submarimon shooting his Oxygen Torpedo attack at the two Tyrannomon attacking the duo, taking their attention away from the targets.
"Hello, boys," Submarimon laughed, though he could feel the toll of trying to move around with only four small flippers. It was like a whale stranded on a beach!
"That's not fair; we're outnumbered!" Yolei exclaimed.
Tommy, TK, Kari and Sara facepalmed, thinking: Déjà vu. It was the same thing both the Legendary Warriors and the Children Virtue had thought before having an unfortunate wakeup call.
"Have you heard of the old saying 'it's not how you play the game, it's about if you win or lose'," the Emperor mocked. He could tell that Submarimon was having almost as hard a time as Patamon and Gatomon, so he thought that Armour Digimon would be the next to get taken care of.
The self-proclaimed ruler ordered a Tyrannomon to attack Submarimon, who couldn't dodge its jaws. Tyrannomon bit onto the Armour Digimon's tail, making him cry out. Cody rushed towards his partner in worry, but TK intercepted him to keep the 8-year-old from getting himself hurt. As he did so, he accidentally dropped his digivice from his hand.
"It's the other way around," Tommy mumbled. He then saw a Blaze Blitz headed for Sara's back, and raced to knock her out of its way. The Himi cousins tumbled on the ground before getting right back up.
"Are Kumamon and Korikakumon answering you yet?" Sara asked the cap-wearing goggle-head. He shook his head. "Damn it! Mine won't answer either, and without a Digimon partner I'm completely useless."
"We should go find the other Digimental," Cody said to the others, looking down at TK's digivice. It showed that whatever it had detected was very near.
"But, Cody, we don't even know who it belongs to," Yolei said to him.
"It doesn't matter. It's worth a try," Tommy decided, turning to look at them.
"Come on, guys!" Cody yelled, running off into the woods.
"Gatomon, this way!" Kari cried out.
"You too, Patamon," TK agreed. Wait, maybe Kari and I could use our Crests to help at least a little.
"Yeah," both Digimon agreed and hurried over to their partners. TK focused on the memory of giving Angemon the arrow three years ago when they battled VenomMyotismon.
Flashback
"Angewomon!" 9-year-old Kari called.
"Angemon, listen up!" TK yelled.
Both of them were holding their Crests in their hands. The Crests of Light and Hope glowed pink and yellow respectively for a moment, then white beams of light shot from the Crests to the two angel Digimon in the sky and became arrows in their hands.
End flashback
TK's Crest glowed faintly beneath his sweater, but the Emperor noticed this. Although he didn't know what the blond was doing, he decided to stop him anyway by holding up his dark digivice. The Crest of Hope stopped glowing.
"Darn it!" TK growled, shooting the one responsible an icy glare. He didn't usually act hostile towards others since it wasn't in his nature, but the Digimon Emperor had just nullified whatever faint chance Patamon had of fighting back.
"TK, it's no use. We have to go!" Kari called to the Child of Hope. He turned around and ran with Cody, Kari and Sara going on ahead.
"We'll hold them off!" Yolei yelled to the retreating children from the sky, and Halsemon attacked one of the Tyrannomon again (accidentally making his human partner dizzy in the process).
Another Tyrannomon turned to attack the retreating DigiDestined, when IceLeomon rushed in front of it. "Where do you think you're going?" he asked before attacking it with his Crystal Breeze, while Patamon shot his Boom Bubble at one of them.
"It's no use, Patamon, run!" Gatomon yelled.
"Over there!" Kari yelled, leading them to a cave.
Sara nodded, scowling as she thought: I hate running away like a coward!
The four children and two Digimon entered the cave. After resting a bit, they noticed something further in the cave. It was a half-silver, half-golden gate with strange kanji symbols (the Element marks) and all the Crests' symbols on it in a circle. (A few of the Crests were unfamiliar to Kari and TK.) In the middle of the large-circle-looking gate was a small dent shaped like a tag.
"What do you think this means?" Cody wondered out loud, walking over to the gate and touching the cool metal. Sara was gazing at the marks for the Elements wistfully.
"These are Crests… And that mark from Tommy's Digimental. Huh…" TK murmured, looking at the gate thoughtfully.
His eyes rested on each of the coloured symbols and marks in turn, lastly on the black mark which unknown to him meant the Element of Darkness. TK shifted uncomfortably at the sight of it, a strange feeling of sudden hate unsettling him.
Noticing this, Kari looked at her best friend worriedly but said nothing, certain that TK would tell her later what was bothering him about that mark.
She gasped when her Crest suddenly started glowing in its usual pink colour faintly. Kari brought it out from under her tank top, instinctively carrying the tag to the dent. She placed it on the dent, the Crest facing the children, and at once the Crest of Light glowed white and its light spread to each mark and symbol.
The gate slowly opened, revealing…
Two new Digimentals! One was white and had cat ears and two paws, with a pink flower symbol on the front in the middle of it. The other was golden-bronze with two tiny orange ears and a yellow medal-like symbol on it.
"Hey, that egg has the Crest of Light on it! And the other one has the Crest of Hope! Wow, come on!" Kari yelled, running over to them.
"You're right," TK said, looking at the two Digimentals in surprise.
"Then those Digimentals must belong to the two of you," Gatomon said.
"But we already have our Digimon," Kari said, turning to look at partner.
"You'll never know. Just try it," Gatomon said.
Kari has the Crest of Light? That's so weird. Koji is the Warrior of Light and Kari's nothing like her! the Warrior of Water thought with her arms crossed, raising an eyebrow.
"Gatomon's right," TK said, looking at his best friend.
TK and Kari gasped when their digivices suddenly started to glow like Tommy's had done the day before yesterday. They pulled them out and watched as they turned into the new digivice model. TK's was white with lime green grips, Kari's was white with light pink grips. They re-pocketed their digivices, then both reached down and picked the eggs up.
"So light," Kari gasped, a pink stream of light starting to flow up from the Digimental of Light's previous spot.
"I never knew I was that strong," TK said. A similar yellow stream came from where the Digimental of Hope had been.
"Wow, I feel funny!" Patamon yelped as he became covered in a bright white glow tinted with gold.
"Patamon armour digivolve to… Pegasusmon, Flying Hope!" Once the glow faded, in Patamon's place was a golden-bronze armoured house with light yellow wings and tiny Patamon ears. The Crest of Hope was on his chest-plate.
"My fur's standing on end!" Gatomon yelped as the light of digivolution started to cover her as well. She dedigivolved into Salamon, but then…
"Salamon armour digivolve to… Nefertimon, Angel of Light!"
When the light around the puppy-like Digimon disappeared in her place was a leopard-sized version of Gatomon with white wings and an Egyptian-like mask on her face. She had the Crest of Light on the top of the mask.
"You're so beautiful," Kari giggled, hugging her new Armour Digimon. "And the best part is now that you can fly, we don't have to walk anymore."
"Easy, Kari. We have to break these wings in," Nefertimon laughed.
"You're so cool, Pegasusmon. This is great, my very own Armour Digimon," TK laughed, hugging his partner happily.
"Lets go help the others," Pegasusmon said as Cody and TK jumped onto his back and Kari boarded Nefertimon. The feline offered to carry Sara too, but the Warrior of Water shook her head and decided to follow them on foot.
Tommy, Yolei and the three Rookies (who had gotten beaten so badly they lost the energy needed to maintain their Armour form) were surrounded by the Tyrannomon pack at the edge of a small cliff.
"Tommy, Yolei, we're here!" Kari cried as Nefertimon and Pegasusmon swooped in. They landed and the riders jumped down.
"Oh wow! Too cool," Armadillomon gasped.
"This armour digivolving won't always save you. It's just a matter of time before I learn how to stop that too," the Digimon Emperor said with a scowl.
Nefertimon? But isn't she Lady Ophanimon's library's guardian? Tommy thought, staring at the cat Armour Digimon.
(Unlike with most Champion level Digimon who resembled the DigiDestineds' Armour Digimon, the Nefertimon he knew looked identical to Kari's Nefertimon. Generally, the wild Nefertimon, Pegasusmon, Submarimon, Halsemon and IceLeomon didn't wear some parts of the armour the DigiDestineds' partners had, nor did they bear the symbols/mark of Light, Hope, Integrity, Compassion and Ice respectively.)
"Golden Noose!" both of the new Armour Digimon yelled, jumping into the air and rounding up the Tyrannomon by golden chains that formed when the armour around their front ankles glowed as they passed each other. The duo then attacked the dark rings around the Tyrannomon's neck with their hooves and paws, destroying them.
The Digimon Emperor put his hand into his mouth and whistled, calling for the Devidramon. He abruptly jumped on it and fled, consenting to the fact that he had lost this time too.
"Yeah! Their dark rings are gone!" Yolei cheered.
"I wanna get a picture of this," Kari said, taking a picture of the Tyrannomon starting to get on their way home. The sun had just begun to set; the children and Digimon had been in the Digital World all afternoon.
"Well, so much for Izzy's plan," TK said. Pegasusmon and Nefertimon dedigivolved back to their normal forms, making their human partners' Crests as well as the two D-terminals' and digivices' screens temporarily glow by their respective Crests' colour.
TK pulled his tag out and looked at it, then his D-terminal. They both were showing the same thing on the screen, the Crest of Hope. Same with Kari's Crest of Light. This was the same thing that had happened to Tommy, Yolei and Cody.
Unknown to them, two teenage boys were watching them from behind some trees. They had only arrived in time to witness Nefertimon and Pegasusmon free the enslaved Digimon. Both of them had been surprised to see Nefertimon, and even more so to see Pegasusmon dedigivolve into a Patamon.
The younger one of the boys whispered to his friend: "Come on, lets get back before we're caught." His companion nodded.
"This is really starting to get on my nerves," Sara mumbled when the children again landed in a dog pile. They all got off one another and Yolei looked at the Digiport. It had closed again.
There were growls from many stomachs, both human and Digimon. "I'm starving!" all five Digimon chorused, the three In-Training's complaint coming out as a childish whine.
"Don't worry, I'll give you dinner at home, Wanyamon," Tommy said, picking up his partner.
The blue furball laughed in his lispy voice and yelled joyously: "YAY!"
On their way out, the DigiDestineds met three teenagers, one of them wearing the green and grey uniform of Odaiba High School and the other two dressed in the navy blue and black uniform of Jiyuugaoka High School (which was in Shibuya). The Digimon at once went into "plushy mode" at the sight of the two strangers.
"Tai!" Kari exclaimed, running forward and smiling up at her brother. "What are you doing here?"
"Well… It took me a while to get out of detention," the Child of Courage replied, scratching the back of his head with a sheepish grin. "So how'd it go?"
"Not so good. I doubt talking will get us anywhere," his younger sister replied with a frown.
"JP, Takuya! What're you two doing here?" Sara asked the other two teens, the younger one having cocoa brown hair sticking up in a tuft and hazel eyes and the older one having short-cropped brown hair and matching eyes. Both of them were smiling down at her and Tommy.
"We came looking for you and Tommy. Taky here called him earlier," JP said, elbowing the younger teen. "A few minutes ago we ran into Taichi. Wait until Koji hears of this!" He had grown some more muscle over the years, although the 16-year-old still carried around a dozen chocolate bars with him.
"Who's Koji?" TK asked Tommy.
"One of our close friends," the goggle-head replied. "Hey, JP, what do you mean?"
The Warrior of Thunder smiled knowingly, turning to the other teen DigiDestineds. "Listen to this. Taichi, Takuya, what's your hobby?"
The Warrior of Flame and the Child of Courage grinned at each other, saying at the same time: "Soccer."
"Favourite colour?"
"Red."
"Favourite past time?"
"Annoy Matt," Tai said. At the same time, Takuya replied: "Annoy Koji."
Yolei and Kari giggled at that, and everyone else smiled in amusement.
"I arrest my case," JP said as everybody laughed. The Digimon didn't really understand, but since they knew they had to pretend to be stuffed toys, they couldn't ask.
"So, Tommy, Takuya here mentioned that you're quite a good soccer player," Tai said as the DigiDestineds walked out of the school and down the street.
Tommy nodded. "U-huh. Sara and me have played the game with Takuya ever since we were little. She's in the school team too, I think." His cousin nodded.
"So you planning on joining it too?" Takuya asked. Tai grinned as he had been about to ask the same thing.
"Please don't. I don't think we can take having another soccer-crazy goggle-head," JP joked. Takuya mock-glared at him as everyone laughed again.
"Ha-ha," the Warrior of Flame said sarcastically.
"Actually, I was thinking of doing that. Aunt Ruki was complaining to me yesterday that I should go out more instead of playing videogames all the time," Tommy said, "Hey, are you two going to spend the night, or will you catch the train back to Shibuya?"
"Wish we could stay, but my parents would be furious if I stay over when there's school, not to mention what Aunt Mei would say," Takuya said, "Though I'm pretty sure Uncle
They walked off to the direction of the train station, the Warrior of Flame calling out over his shoulder: "It was great meeting you guys. Hey, Tai, lets hope our schools will get matches against each other, right?"
"Right! See ya, Takuya!" the Child of Courage called back. Yep, you and me are definitely going to get along great, he thought. Turning to the younger DigiDestined, he said: "Come on, guys, lets all go home."
With that, the DigiDestineds separated. The same thought was going on in all the younger kids' minds: I wonder what will happen tomorrow?
To be continued…
The Digimon who came from under the Digimentals can't remember their lives from before they met their partners, but they slowly regain their memory. Kinda like how when you haven't ridden a bike for a couple years it takes one or two tries to be able to do it without any problem again.
I don't really have anything to say, except that I hope you readers tell me what you think through reviews. See ya!
