Digimon Revolt:
Summary- It has been four 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?
Disclaimer: If I owned Digimon then every arc would have had a second season, especially Frontier.
Chapter 3: Gone
"…her father claims he woke up this morning with a weird feeling in his chest and when his daughter didn't come down for breakfast…"
"…a young girl was taken from her home last week…"
"…gone without a trace. We speak with the father of our latest MIA case after this commercial break…"
"…it's been one week since 13 year old Zoe Orimoto has seemingly vanished from thin air. Her father last saw her on her way out to Shibuya Park to meet up with her friends. He came home from work later that night to see a note from his daughter stating she had gone to bed early. He had thought nothing of it and when morning came she was no were to be found. Police have sent out a search warrant for the young girl and ask that if you have seen her to please call 911."

"…you too huh?" It wasn't new for the gang to be tired from lack of sleep and the latest onslaught of nightmares. After Zoe had gone missing, the guys had been on constant look out. They knew who it was that took her.
It was that bastard Piedmon.
They all had been feeling guilty about the last time they had seen her. She was upset, exhausted, and they just watched her walk away.
And now she was gone.
And they all knew who was going next too. JP had been having dreams similar to Zoe's for just over week now, although the digimon in his dream was different. It was more mechanical and spoke straightforward to JP. He told JP he was next.
But now they also knew who was after JP.
"What was he like?" asked Kouji, having been even more on edge now that the third 'target' had been discovered.
"Well…" Kouichi began, "he just kind of stood there and watched me through the trees that lined the edge of the clearing I was standing in. He looked kind of like a goat but he stood on his hind legs. He had purple fur and black bat wings, but he didn't give off an intimidating aura…"
"It doesn't matter!" Kouji snapped, "if he's coming after you then he's our enemy and needs to be stopped!"
"As bad as it is that the rest of us are having these dreams," cut in Takuya "I still say finding Zoe is our number one priority. She's been gone for a week and we all know how fast the digital world's time goes and-"
"And what makes you so sure that's where she is!" growled Kouji. Yes, actually growled.
"Where else do you think she could be!" the rebuttal, also a growl. As if their beast spirit counterparts had taken over and began arguing for their hosts.
"I think Takuya's right," said their youngest companion standing up from his spot on the bench. Coming to the park had been Takuya's idea of course. He'd made them go back to the park four times now believing there would be some sort of clue there.
"What makes you say that Tommy?" asked JP out of curiosity.
"Why would he hide her in our turf?" simple. That's what it was. A simple thought that made so much sense to them all, and made Kouji a little angry that Takuya was probably right and he wasn't.
"I say we try Shibuya Station," answered Kouichi, "I mean, they just reopened the station right before we started getting all these weird dreams, maybe it has something to do with all this."
"It does make sense," Kouji agreed thoughtfully, "The reopening of the station may have also reopened the underground one as well. It would be a really easy way to get in and out of our world."
"So if were all in agreement," finished Takuya "Then we head over their right after school tomorrow and get our Zoe back!"
"Right!"

One week.
She had been here for just one week.
She was annoyed to say the least. Piedmon was one of the most infuriating Digimon she had ever met. All he did was talk in riddles, he barely gave her any food, and all he did was show off his key chain collection while she ate. He was only ever their when she ate. She barely ever saw her captor and she was already going mentally insane because of him.
And she hadn't found much out from him.
Yes, she asked him as many questions as she could, and he answered them all. Problem was, as stated before, he only spoke in riddles, complicated, twisting, deceiving riddles.
And Zoe was just too damn hungry to focus on anything but escape. Her phone had been confiscated and was sitting on a pedestal under a thick glass case just out of her reach on the other side of her cell. It was just like it was right before he knocked her out and brought her here.
Just one send button away from speed dialing Takuya for help.
That may have infuriated her more than Piedmon.
"A risen yeasted feast made from grains and heat, what am I?" cackled Piedmon as he placed a small loaf of bread on a cracked try before her. She was wrong; Piedmon was, in fact, more annoying than the state of her phone.
"If memory serves," counted Zoe coldly "a small stale piece of bread, just barely enough to keep me from starving to death."
"Keep up that tone and something clear and refreshing you will no longer get!" he snapped, amusement gone from his voice. He wasn't too happy with his captive either. She was rude, sassy, and didn't give one damn about his precious collection.
"You wouldn't dare, you need me alive, and in order to stay alive you need to give me water." Zoe said with a smirk.
"Argh," He grunted as he handed her a small, crudely made cup filled with slightly murky water.
"Now," smiled Zoe, as sickenly sweet as she could, "was that so hard?"
No answer except for the sound of Piedmon sitting in a chair next to the pedestal with her phone as he watched to make sure she ate and drank everything, just like he always did.
As soon as she was finished he grabbed the tray the bread head been on along with the small make shift cup and left without another word.
If Zoe was going to go down at the hands of this circus freak, then she was going to go down giving him as hard of a time as she could, kicking and screaming if need be.
Now, about getting to her phone…

Takuya had completely forgotten.
Let's start from the beginning and clarify just what Takuya had forgotten in his haste to get the warrior of wind back.
All of them had attended different schools amongst the Shibuya district before the Digital world and decided to apply to the same high school in Odaiba, picking up clubs and activities along the way. Not many of them were very fond of the schools in Shibuya and, especially after going to the Digital World, felt out of place among their peers, the same ones they had been going to school with for some time.
So they decided to start a new and go somewhere else.
Tommy himself had switched to a school in Odaiba fairly soon after returning from the Digital world. Tommy had taken up soccer as soon as they got back following in Takuya's footsteps but After about a month or so he began to truly miss the feeling of ice beneath his finger tips and decided to take up ice skating. He had gotten a lot of crap from his peers at school for it and was made fun of for choosing something so 'girly' so Tommy switched schools. He wasn't upset so much as he had no patience for people like that. He could have taken up ice hockey instead of ice skating, but what he missed was the feeling of gliding along the ice, something hard to enjoy when being body slammed into a wall.
Kouji Had continued along the martial arts path, taking up kendo lessens at a dojo in the Odaiba district, about a five minute walk from their High school in the same district. It was all he ever wanted to do when he got back from their adventure. He missed his light saber and fighting with a sword and refused to give it up even if his digi-days were over. He had studied kendo before the Digital World but never felt such a strong need for it before. He also, upon entering high school, joined the martial arts club. Kouji had had no doubt in his mind that he wanted out of the Shibuya schooling district. He had only ever had one friend at his school, JP. They were the only ones amongst their friend group to attend the same school before high school. JP left the District the year before being in the grade above him giving Kouji no more ties to his school. He knew no one missed him, not like he missed any of them though.
Speaking of JP, deciding he wanted to become more fit in honor of his digital counterpart, took up boxing and had become fairly good surprisingly fast. He was already on The Varsity team at West Odaiba High School even though he was only a sophomore this year. He also had joined the computer and technology club. He had surprisingly missed being part machine and tinkering and messing around with computers was comforting. JP had wanted a fresh start which resulted in his switching to the Odaiba school system, being the second of their friends to begin attending a school in Odaiba.
Kouichi had simply gone where Kouji went. He didn't care what school it was so long as he was finally with his brother. Kouichi had liked almost everything about his school; the teachers, the classes, the students, his small group of friends to say hi to in the hallways. It was just one small thing that made him switch districts with no hesitation; Kouji. He had finally found his brother and he wouldn't lose him again. Like JP, Kouich had taken up some form of exercise in honor of his partners. Surprisingly, he had Joined Kouji in Kendo lessens. His reasoning being, it was the closest thing to a lance, but the others knew that was only half true. He had also taken up archery through his middle school and continued it to High school where he wasn't half bad. In addition, he had become interested in poetry being inspired by poets who wrote of the darkness in a beautiful light.
Zoe had hated her school. She had put in an effort to make friends but many girls were still caddy and mean to her so she left as soon as she could without looking back. Zoe had been dancing all her life but hadn't become serious about it until coming back from the Digital World. She never realized how, when she was dancing, it felt like she was gliding through the air. The feeling was magical and she was determined to become as graceful as her warrior self was. She also had added on a few acro classes in an attempt to reenact the feat that was flying. She had taken up chorus after coming back from the digital world as well. Shortly after coming back from the Digital World, she heard her mom make a comment one windy day about how she could hear the wind singing. Zoe had questioned if the wind really sang and when her mom confirmed that it did, Zoe was sold and signed up for chorus as soon as she could.
Takuya had obviously kept up with his soccer. What else would a goggle head do? He had tried the Martial arts club at his middle school but it wasn't for him. He preferred street fighting any day. After a few months of being back from the Digital World, Zoe had forced Takuya to take a dance class claiming that fire danced, so why shouldn't he? He had contemplated it since coming back from the Digital World since he wanted to be as one with his element as he could, but couldn't find the nerve until Tommy had gone for Ice Skating. He secretly really enjoyed the classes but keeps telling the others he does is it to honor his counter-self. They all knew he was just being insecure about his choice of extra-curriculars.
And today, unfortunately, Takuya's Soccer team met right after school.
He had to get out of it, Zoe was counting on him and Ophanimon knows what she's probably endured over the last week. He had to get out of it.
"Just tell them they found a lead on Zoe," Kouji said at lunch time. Takuya was currently sitting with the others in his classroom eating, the rest of the gang coming over from their respected classes to join him. "I doubt they would be mad at that."
"Oh," said Takuya smiling sheepishly "I guess I hadn't thought of that."
"Of course you hadn't," He countered "Your head is full of hot air." He finished with a smirk.
"Hey!"

"Hey!" Takuya yelled down the hall as he tried to reach one of his fellow team mates, "Tai! Wait up!"
"Oh, hey Takuya," Replied Tai as Takuya finally caught up with him "You heading over to practice too?"
"Not today," replied Takuya surprising Tai.
"How come?" Takuya never missed, well, until Zoe went missing. He went to the games, but he has only made it to one practice using some sort of excuse each time which was usually to clever to have not really been Takuya's friend Kouji's idea.
"They found a lead on Zoe, I need you to tell the coach I can't be their today."
Tai couldn't help but internally sigh. He knew there wasn't a lead on Zoe, Takuya was in denial, but that didn't stop him from agreeing and going through another practice with ought Takuya for the umpteenth time that week. But he was worried and really wanted to get to the bottom of it so He emailed his friends to see who was free and able to check up on Takuya's story.

They arrived at Shibuya Station together. They pushed through crowds, got their tickets, pushed through crowds, got on the train, pushed through crowds, and finally made it to 'that' elevator, hoping they lost their pursuers in the process. They had seen their fellow classmates following them around. They had learned a few things from their time in the Digital World.
Two girls, two girls had been following them until they had entered the elevator, probably having lost them in the crowd finally. One of them was from Kouji and Zoe's class. She had short red-brown hair and hung out with Tai. If Kouji remembered correctly, then her name was Sora.
The other one was around Tommy's age, most likely going to the same school as him as well. She had short brown hair and looked vaguely familiar. Takuya had seen her at a lot of his soccer games before but couldn't remember why.
When they finally reached the basement, they noticed there were no trailmons. It was empty.
"So, what are we supposed to do now?" asked Tommy defeated, their only chance of finding Zoe slipping through their fingers.
"I don't know buddy," Takuya half-whispered, "I just don't know."

This is my longest chapter yet, pretty proud of that actually. I'm working on making them all a decent length, probably about this length, now that the story has technically really started up. Sorry for all the background info, I feel that it's kind of fun and potentially important to know what they've been up to/ what skills they have/ may have learned though.
NOTE: the adventure arc is in fact cannon with this story. I personally believe that Adventure and Frontier are in the same universe because of how similar their Digital Worlds are just as Tamers and Savers Digital Worlds are. This story takes place about a year before Adventure 02. Let's just say, I have big plans if this story becomes well received. I don't know if Adventure 02 will play a big role in this story or not but I guess we'll find out. I would like to eventually right something big with them eventually.
Timeline:
-Frontier
-Adventure 01
-Digimon Revolt
-Adventure 02
Hope ya guys enjoyed this week's chapter. The next chapter may come out in two weeks depending on how life decides to treat me. I tried to make this story longer as well so I hope the length is good for you. I think this is probably how long I will try and make my chapters from now on. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll answer if I can (and if it won't spoil anything). And some of you have asked what the couple is going to be. I may not do a ton of coupling in this story, but it will be Takumi as a heads up in case I do decide to through in some romance here and there. Just a warning.
Reviews are always welcomed and flames will be used for s'mores.
Stay prodigious.
