Dark Secrets

Chapter 3: Digimon Revealed

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or any of its characters.

I'm back. I finished my finals, got my grades back, and now trying to survive the Holidays. I hope you enjoy the next chapter. There is a fighting scene, sorry if it isn't any good. I've never done one before and I don't know anything about the Digimon card game, so bear with me.

Tai wasn't sure how he expected for this day to go, but this certainly wasn't it. First he got the surprise of his life when his baby sister walked on stage and rocked the audience with his best friend. His sweet baby sister who was always wearing pink, smiling, and was always gentle with anyone she spoke to. She looked completely different up there and he hated to admit it but on some level, to some guys, he would even say she looked hot. But he was not going to admit it cause this was his sister he was talking about. Matt was definitely going to die slowly and painfully. At one point Tai looked over at T.K. to see his reaction. T.K.'s reaction looked drawn between being angry that others were looking at Kari when she was dressed that way and being captivated by her looks himself. If there was any real positive thing to say, was that Kari really could sing. Tai couldn't help but feel a little proud of his sister and her awesome singing skills even if her part in the song was small.

The second surprise was the song all together. While it might have meant one thing to the audience, it meant something entirely different to the Digidestined. It was still a touchy subject with them, especially those who were still recovering. It had only been five months since the incident and some of the D.D. (Digidestined), like Mimi and Sora, were still trying to readjust to everything that had happened. It was because of the incident that they were here in Shinjuku to begin with. It was because of the incident that they had to get away from their parents who were smothering them with their worrying. The worst part of the incident was that they didn't know everything that had happened during the incident. They only had pieces of the full picture of what had happened to them. And the song was describing what many of the D.D. felt after the incident. What they had been going through the last five months. This song was clearly for only the D.D. to fully understand.

The third surprise came just moments after Kari and Matt finished their song. On the other side of the concert dome, there was a giant explosion as the wall came crashing down on a part of the unsuspecting audience members. People immediately started screaming and running towards the exits that were away from the rummage. Where there was once a wall now stood a huge elephant type monster that had hair all over and giant tusks coming from its mouth. It had a helmet running from its head down to its long trunk. Its huge ears were turning in each direction following the loud screams coming from all directions. Tai couldn't help but wonder if it could really see with that single eye that looked like it had been painted on its helmet. Tai recognized the giant elephant as Mammothmon. It was clearly a different Mammothmon from the one they had fought years ago. The one that had helped them piece a part of the D.D.'s past together to what connected them to their Digimon.

Mammothmon was opening attacks in every direction possible. It was using its tusk crusher to take down the remaining walls of the concert dome and was using its freezing breath on various audience members that were trying to escape. There was no thought or strategy in Mammothmon's attacks. Its only goal was to create as much chaos and destruction as possible without stopping.

At this point Tai and the other D.D. went on full instinct mode. They all rushed out of the room, taking the back hallways to the other side of the dome. Tai was in the front of the group with Davis right behind him. All of them were pulling out their digivices ready for battle. Tai looked behind him finding Izzy falling behind trying to run and open the digital portal at the same time. Yolei and Mimi were running beside him. Yolei was prepared to open the portal as soon as Izzy got it up seeing as only the D-3s could open the portal.

Tai and the group were running at full speed towards the main arena dodging falling rocks and citizens as they went. They couldn't see Mammothmon in the back halls but they could still hear the ruckus it was making. When they finally made it to the arena most of the fans, except those that were frozen, had already left the area. Kari was still up on the stage and Matt had gotten down from the stage, standing in front of it, and staring at the giant hole that Mammothmon had made. Mammothmon was no longer inside the dome but Tai could hear its attacks coming from outside. Mammothmon was attacking something or someone else now.

Tai and the others headed towards the hole with their digivices raise high. Izzy and Yolei were ready to open the portal. But before Tai could take one step out of the hole, Kari was screaming at him. "Tai, wait! Stop!" That was when the fourth surprise came.

When Tai looked outside where Mammothmon was there were already other Digimon fighting it. Tai didn't recognize all of the Digimon but some of them were familiar. But what was even more surprising were the children that were fighting beside the Digimon. Tai recognized them as the kids that Kari had met and Matt had given the free tickets to. They were all holding what Tai could make out as colored digivices like the second generation of D.D. had but they were different. Then what really surprised Tai was when one of the boys, the one that reminded him of himself and Davis, took his digivice and what Tai recognized as one of the Digimon playing cards and slashed the card through the side of the digivice, screaming "Digimodified!" and the small red dinosaur Digimon grew wings.

These kids were a completely new generation of Digidestined. Tai felt really old now.

Kari knew the attack was coming before it happened. She didn't know how she knew, she just did. So when the wall came crashing down on the audience she felt completely helpless that she couldn't stop it. She could only stand there and watch as the building and its occupants were attacked by the giant elephant. The other members of the band went running with the audience before Kari or Matt could stop them. She couldn't really blame them though. This was the second time this had happened. They were bound to think they were cursed now or something. They haven't had very good luck with their band thanks to the now two attacks at their concerts and the incident. She wouldn't be surprised if they broke up the band after this. They would be crazy not to. Matt hopped off the stage looking like he was ready run into action but stopped when he remembered he didn't have Gabumon there with him. Kari could see the frustration on his face and in his body language. He looked like he was willing to run in there without any aid if he had to. But before Matt could take another step towards Mammothmon though dark forms fell from the lofts above their heads.

Digimon were falling from above them and attacking Mammothmon. They managed to push Mammothmon back through the hole in the wall but they weren't causing any real damaged seeing as most of them seemed to be rookie level Digimon and Mammothmon was an ultimate level Digimon. Kari could only stand there in shock as she watched them. She glanced up towards the lofts a couple of time trying to figure out where they came from and how they managed to get up there. She didn't expect that to happen.

Once the smaller Digimon got Mammothmon outside the kids that Kari had met yesterday went running past her. She watched as one by one they ran past her not giving her a second glance except for Jeri. Jeri stopped and turned towards her and Matt bowing low to the ground, "Sorry!", then continued to run outside with the other children. Kari watched in amazement as all of the children took stances next to their Digimon partners and prepared to fight beside them. They were experienced fighters. What amazed her even more was when they started using cards to increase their Digimon's attacks.

It wasn't long before the D.D. caught up with them. Tai was ready to head out there and fight Mammothmon when Kari stopped him, "Tai, wait! Stop!" Tai turned towards her before turning back towards the fight that was taking place. Kari wanted to see what these new Digidestined kids could do. She had never seen this type of fighting before.

"This isn't working! We need to take this to the next level!" Rika shouted out. Henry and Takato nodded in her direction.

Soon four of the Digimon were digivolving into their champion forms. Various shouts of their names were shouted.

"Growlmon!"

"Gargomon!"

"Kyubimon!"

"Strikedramon!" (A/N For those of you who don't know this in Monodramon's champion form who later digivolves into Cyberdramon.)

Not only were their digivices different, but their digivolution was also different from theirs as well. Kari couldn't believe it. How could there be new Digidestined without them knowing to begin with? It made no sense. Usually when there were new D.D. Gennai or one of the Gennai look a likes would tell so they could be in contact with them in case there was ever an emergency. There was no way Gennai would forget to tell them about this.

In no time the four champion Digimon had managed to defeat Mammothmon, causing its data to go flying through the air. Kari could have sworn that even the data of the Digimon looked different. The children gathered around their Digimon congratulating them and checking for injuries. The D.D. just stood there in shock. They weren't needed at all.

"You little brats!" Came the shout from behind them. Up marched this teenaged girl, who looked furious. She marched over to the younger kids and grabbed the front on Henry's shirt. "Henry, you brat! How dare you?! Ruining the concert like that! Can't you play with your little monsters on your own time and not when there is a bunch of other people around?! I can't wait for when you get punished for this!" The teenager proceeded to shake Henry angrily until Henry could loosen her hold on his shirt.

"It isn't my fault the Digimon attacked. I can't control when and where they show up." Henry spoke as calmly as possible despite being yelled at.

"Yeah, right! I..." Before the teen could continue to shout and scream Matt attempted to interrupt her.

"Hold on, I'm certain it wasn't his fault. Dig…" Matt could get no more out when the teenager screamed in excitement and rushed over to Matt, taking his hand and shaking it enthusiastically.

"Oh my god! Matt Ishida! I am so excited to meet you in person. I'm your biggest fan. My name's Jaarin Wong. I'm so sorry about my little brother and his stupid friends," this comment was followed by shouts of insults coming from behind her, "ruined your wonderful concert. I loved your last song. I felt it was speaking to me. I could totally understand what you were saying. By the way, are you still with your girlfriend Sierra?" How she managed to say all of this in one breath was beyond Kari's understanding.

Before Matt could answer her though, Sora answered for him. "Yes, we are still together and it's Sora, not Sierra." Jaarin made a humped noise in the back of her throat, crossed her arms, and turned her backed towards Sora, refusing to give any more hints that she had heard her.

"We are sorry about interrupting your concert and destroying the concert dome. We have absolutely no control of when Digimon will attack." Takato apologized.

"You know, when I met all of you at the park yesterday, I didn't realize you were all Digidestined." Kari said.

"Digidestined in only used in the cartoons. We're Digimon Tamers." Kazu said.

"Digimon what?" Tai asked.

"Digimon Tamers. That's the term we call ourselves, not Digidestined." Rika replied.

"Did Gennai say you could call yourselves that? Cause Tamers sounds barbaric, like you should have whips and stools in your hands like with tiger tamers." Mimi said.

"Who's Gennai?" Kenta asked.

"If you didn't meet Gennai then maybe you met one his counter parts. Did you meet Benjamin, Jackie, Hogan, Hose, or Llya?" Izzy asked.

"Um, we have no idea what you are talking about. Who do you think we met?" Takato asked. The Tamers were looking at each other in confusion. This conversation was taking a turn they did not expect.

"You must have met Gennai or one of his counterparts when you got your digivices, right?" Yolei asked.

"We didn't meet anyone that you're describing. We just got our D-Arcs when we slid them through a card scanner or when they appeared in front of us." Henry said.

"D-Arcs?" Izzy asked.

"Our digivices." Henry lifted his up for everyone to see.

T.K. walked over towards Henry to get a better looked. He lifted his digivice and compared the two. "Huh, they really are different than ours."

Henry's eyes widened as he looked at T.K.'s digivice. "You're Digimon Tamers too?"

"No, we're Digidestined." Tai said. The D.D. each lifted their digivices to show the Tamers even though theirs were all older versions.

Before anyone could say anything else, the sound of sirens came from the distance. "I think that's our signal to get lost. It'll be very bad if we're here when the cops show up." Davis said.

"Let's split up. It'll be easier to get lost in the crowd if we aren't together." Tai instructed.

Before anyone could take off running just yet Henry shouted at Kari. "Do you remember the building from yesterday that my dad worked at?" Kari nodded at him. "Meet us there in two hours. I want to talk more. I've got a lot of questions. And if you can, can you bring your Digimon?" Kari looked over at Tai, silently asking for his opinion. Tai nodded his agreement towards her and Kari nodded back to Henry. After that they all ran in different directions, disappearing into the crowds.

Sorry, it's so short and that it took me so long to post a new chapter. I promise the next one will be longer and won't take me three months to post.

Please review and tell me if I made any mistakes.
