i know you're with takato and the other tamers.

please tell them to abandon their run for tonight, and come to izzy's mansion.

we have a really important announcement to make.

sorry for the short notice.

takato kept thinking about ken's e-mail when he ran through the forest near izzy's mansion.

(what the hell did he mean with that?) takato couldn't stop pondering about it.

"TAKATO! HEY MAN, WAIT UP!" kenta finally caught up with him.
for some reason, everyone had a familliar feeling of nostalgia as they entered izzy's backyard.

except for the grand hall, the entire mansion was dark. two men were sitting on the porch. as soon as they noticed the group of teenagers, they stood up and walked over to davis.

"you're late again." the man with grey eyes and shoulder-length dark blue-ish hair said in a mocking tone.
davis' face turned bright red, but before his temper took over he took a deep breath and just replied with an evil grin of his own. "at least I am allowed to be late. i believe, last time you were late, yolie nearly ripped your balls off." ken laughed at that and gave his best friend a firm handshake. jeri stepped forward to hug her sempai -and more importantly old friend "speaking about yolie-sempai, how is she anyway?" ken shrugged and answered in a stoic tone.
"pregnant."

-silence-

davis recovered first. he turned pale, then red and eventually when he finally regained composure he smiled and pulled ken into a spinebreaking bear hug. "ken. YOU FRIGGIN STUD! i can't believe that my best friend is gonna be a father!, and with YOLIE no-less! i'm really happy for you guys!" takato put his arm around rika's waist and they both smiled. "we all are, sempai."

the other man stepped forward. he had spiky, dark red hair, brown eyes and a thin smile. he wore a black and red armani-suit, with a dark purple crest of knowledge on his chest-pocket. he wore a rolex on his left wrist and his dark purple digivice was hanging on a thin gold chain from his belt. koushiro izumi, better known as 'izzy' was one of the richest men of japan and he was not afraid to show it.

why shouldn't he?, he is the greatest technological genius since bill gates, works his ass off seven days a week and never even acted as if he was better than the rest.

"hey guys." he waved.

henry smiled and bowed. "great to see you again, master. how was china?"

"pretty good. lau-xi finally sold me the rights to the piece of land right outside of shanghai, so i'll be able to build that new factory."

izzy was a very busy man and had very little time, but during his (very rare) free time, he always took the time to teach henry everything about hacking and computers, even going as far as calling him his student.

"oh, by the way. i have a suprise for you guys." izzy signalled the group to come inside. they all followed him.

the entered a small room with 20 small packages on a table. all of them with a name tag on it.

izzy signalled them to follow him again. they followed izzy and ken again. this time downstairs to the basement. takato decided to step forward and ask the question everyone wanted to ask. "izzy. not that we didn't appriciate this suprise, or didn't miss you this past month, but what the flying fuck is going on here. we get this weird message, arrrive here at a nearly empty mansion, there is a HUGE stack of mysterious gifts upstairs and you won't tell any of u a damn thing!"

as on cue, the group faced a giant oak door. "-and of course there's a giant mysterious door in an insanely rich man's creepy basement. not strange at all"

izzy chuckled."don't worry. you guys are gonna love this." he opened the door.

the gang couldn't believe what was behind the door. all of the digidestined were gathered in comfy chairs. all of them looked like they were having fun, but no-one knew why they were gathered. they were all summoned from all over the world for an unknown reason.

yamato flew in from russia because he was busy in a space program.
sora came back from a fashion show in australia, where, in a week mimi whould be posing in sora's newest designs.
jyou was busy as a free doctor in kenia, africa and looked pretty amused for being flown in vy izzy's private jet.
willis came from colorado. for some reason, he still had terriermon and lopmon.
takeru moved to london, and finally finished his third book aboud their adventures in the digital world, so he had enough time for a visit.
hikari recently became a kindergarten teacher, and started living in kyoto.
yolie and ken recently married and moved to new york. ken works with the police force as detective, while yolie stays at home because of her pregnancy.
iori was going to law-school while still following a strict kendo training in china. he looked dead-tired decause he had to take the tunnelling bullet-train all night.
taichi and mimi were sitting in a love-seat talking with sora and hikari.

"pick a seat and enjoy yourselves. we'll start soon. there's food and drinks on the table."

"KARI!" davis sprinted towards the young woman. she turned around and as soon as she saw who called her, she smiled widely and hugged him.

because she grew up to become quite voluptuous, davis became as red as flamedramon's mask when she pressed herself into him.

davis suddenly felt a ominous presence. tai's face was covered in an evil shadow, while one eye was visibly glowing. "daaaaaiiiisssssuuuuuukeeeeee e..."

everyone in the room sweatdropped and thought the same. (some things never change.)

rika, suzie and jeri went to congratulate yolie, while henry walked over to willis. takato felt a certain sense of nostalgia. he sat down behind the piano and started playing 'world without logo's' while softly singing the lyrics. yamato walked over to him, grabbing a guitar and started playing along. eventually, everyone listened to the duo of musicians.

about thirty minutes later, izzy clapped his hands, signalling for attention.

he smiled warm.

"all right guys. i guess all of you want to know why i brought all of you here."

a large screen came down from the ceiling.

"as most of you can remember, today is exactly 5 years ago, when D-reaper got destroyed and our digimon dissapeared."

the tv showed a slideshow of photo's of all digidestined and tamers with their partners.

all of them smiled and davis, yolie and sora started sniffling.

"all of us were very sad to see our partners leave, but tentomon and i made a promise to meet again."

takato chuckled while thinking about his own promise with guilmon.

"tonight, we were able to fulfill that promise." takato noticed that izzy's voice was cracking.

"i summoned you all here, because of that promise. tonight is not just a reunion for us digidestined, or our tamer students, but for our partners as well."

tai asked in a shaking voice what izzy was talking about.

izzy laughed out loud and answered in a chuckle.

"i am talking about this." he pushed a button, and the curtains on stage opened, revealing a huge computer.

"for the past five years i have secretly been working on this supercomputer, to connect to the digital world. gennai, tentomon and a few others have been working on a similar computer on the other side, and yesterday i finally got mail, that they succeeded."

he flipped a switch and started typing furiously. the tv screen started glowing in an emerald green. izzy started flipping even more switches.
the tv's color went from green to red and finally turned white. takato could hear voices, he'd been longing to hear for the past five years. takato did something he hadn't done since his parents' funeral. he started crying.

as soon as mimi and rika saw his tears, they both hugged him and tears started rolling down their faces too. then tai hugged the three of them at the same time, turning it into an emotional group hug.

izzy slammed into a final button and the tv-screen turned into a digi-portal and a bunch of shades became visible.

even izzy's eyes became wet.

a flash.

exactly twenty THUD's.

agumon, gabumon, pyomon, palmon, tentomon, gomamon, patamon, gatomon, veemon, hawkmon, armadillomon, guilmon, renamon, terriermon, lopmon, leomon, guardromon, cyberdramon, impmon and marineangemon came out of the portal.

-silence-

"a-agumon?" tai was the first to break the silence.

"tai?" agumon stepped forward. carfully.

a smile cracked on the first leader of the digidestined and a tear rolled down the yellow dinosaur's face. the ice was broken, digimon and partners ran towards each other.

guilmon tackled takato and he started licking his tamer's face.
takato let him for once, and even returned the hug.

about one and a half hour later, the humans and the digimon were busy catching up, joking around or picking up old memories, when izzy clapped his hands for attention again.

his eyes were wet, but he didn'teven try to wipe them.

"all-right everybody. i know we all have to catch up and we all want to keep talking about old times, but i have a second suprise for all of you. please go upstairs, second room on the left, and grab the box with your name on it. open it on my signal."

everyone went upstairs to the small room with the table in the middle and did as izzy told them to.

(finally, we get to know what's in these damn boxes. i've been pondering about this little bastard since the beginning.) takato felt that the box was quite heavy for it's size.

"please open your gifts." izzy finally gave the word that everyone wanted to hear.

they all opened the packages, and takato saw two objects inside.

the first was a strange rectangular device, strapped to a studded bracelet. it had a smooth crimson-red surface with a silver line on the left side. a small screen in the middle, and a card swipe on the right side.

the second object was a pretty big deck of cards.

everybody looked at izzy with a puzzled look on their faces, causing him to chuckle.

"the devices are called D-forces and basically are a powered-up version of your digivices. they are voice controlled, contain a full map of the digital world and a fully updated digimon encyclopedia. i also took the liberty to put your crests in them too, so armor, ultimate and mega digivolution are no problems."

some people started to understand the devices.

"the decks contain cards from the popular kids-game digimon card battle. i found the basic idea behind the D-power's card system very handy. thus creating a perfectly balanced deck for each of you, to draw out the full potential of your digimon partners. if you have any questions about them, ask me or any of the tamers."

matt stepped forward. "iz. it's not that we don't appriciate that you upgraded everything, but why did you go through this trouble?"

izzy's face suddenly became dark. he answered in a warning tone.

"believe guys, you'll need them. very soon."

this time kari reacted. "izzy, what the hell do you mean by that? there haven't been any digimon attacks in the past five years. so why would we need them?"

izzy's face decame even darker.

"you're wrong about that, kari. just because the digital world is nearly sealed, does not mean, that there haven't been ANY attacks. davis, please show them."

davis sighed and became slightly red as he removed his shirt, and the scars on his back, chest and arms became visible.

veemon scowled and started questioning davis in a low growling tone.

"davis. which fucking bastard did this to you?"

"a rogue ogremon did it. i guess karma's a bitch huh? i mean- i had it coming for all the digimon i destroyed, sealed and dedigivolved all those years back-"

SLAP!

davis' head snapped to the left, when kari slapped him across the cheek with her right hand.

"motomiya daisuke. if i know ANYONE who would never deserve to be mutilated, it would be you! NEVER think like that again, GOT IT?" a single tear of anger and sadness stroke down her face.

they just stood there for a minute.

davis simply looked at her with a heartbreaking smile on his face and quietly drew her into a tight hug and she buried her face into his chest. he only kept wispering: it's okay, i'm fine.

kari then realised what position they were in and that everyone still stood there. she quickly pushed him back and became as red as takato's D-force. "i-i-i-i-i d-didn't mean it like that y-y-you dummy! i was just concerned about your health!"

everyone had the exact same thought. (kari's a tsundere...).

izzy came back to business as soon as everybody stopped laughing.

"davis is the living proof that -once again the digimon are becoming more and more violent lately, and that the attacks are becoming more frequent."

he gave each and every-one a card with a number and an adress on it. "please be at this adress tomorrow at 15:00. just tell them your name and they'll let you pass the gate."

about two hours later the people started going home. matt, tk, iori, willis, ken, yolie and jyou stayed at izzy's place , sora went with tai and mimi, takato decided to stay over at rika's place and jeri went along with henry and suzie.

"hey davis?" kari ran over to the spike-haired noodle-shop owner.

davis turned around to the HOT young teacher, raised an eyebrow and asked what was wrong.

"well. gatomon and i still need a place to stay, so would you mind if we went along with you guys?"

the young man became flaming red and started studdering. "o-o-o-o-o-of c-c-c-course you can hi-hi-hikari-chan, but why me? i mean tai lives only four blocks away and izzy has a freaking mansion."

her expression became warm and she started blushing. "because i don't want you to stay alone tonight."

he raised an eyebrow and laughed. "you think i can't defend myself? veemon is with me and i have been training myself for the past five years."

everybody dropped down at the same time, anime-style, and takato had to contain himself not to high-jump kick his sempai to the head. (how thick-headed can someone get?!)

eventually the group started to disperse, to sleep a few hours and meet the next day.

takato's only thought while he snaked his arm aroud rika's waist and looked at guilmon and renamon, walking hand-in-hand, was (this is gonna be a loooong night.)

;A/N please review and please look forward to my next chapter. SPOILER!
next chapter will be a lemon, and some action.
