Disclaimer: Once again I don't own Digimon. I do own the Brotherhood, Magiknightmon, and Mizuki

I know I said this before, but there are websites in my profile that will let you get a better description of the canon digimon.

-Digital World, Western Sector, City of Lights. Night time

The city of lights, the digidestined nor the Kaiser had ever traveled to this section of the digital world before. Actually most of their battles took place in the Eastern part of the digital world. All the rest of the continents were untouched after the battle with the Dark Masters. Here we find Gennai standing in front of a store labeled Warrior's Smith. A shop made to produce weapons for combat and weapon smith is a well known crafts throughout the Western and Southern Sectors of the digital world.

"Hmm, he remodeled his store. It's much bigger than my last visit five years ago."

The lights were on through the window indicating someone is still home. "He's still awake good. After showing the kids the Trailmon I thought I would lose track of time."

The man stepped approached the door and knocked on it. After a few moments the door opened up and revealed a woman with red clothing. The interesting thing about it was that she was dressed as a witch. The digital female gazed at the stranger with her ruby like eyes and frowned.

"May I ask why you came? It's late at night shouldn't you be home sleeping?"

"How about you? Shouldn't you be sleeping?"

The woman chuckled. "Yeah, but my excuse was having cup of tea and reading a good book. So who are you?"

"Does Synthesismon still live and work here?"

"Of course, I work for him and live with him. This place used to be a dump before we came along."

"We?"

"Of course, Synthesismon saved me from drowning 4 years ago and I offered to repay him and now here I am."

"Did you say there are others?"

"Yes, each one has their own personal story and agenda, but you didn't answer my question. Who are you?"

"I am Gennai."

The female digimon eyes widen. "Gennai? You're lying."

"Believe me or not, I helped the destined become who they are today and I serve under the ruling sovereign in the Eastern Sector."

"Azulongmon? Well, you convinced me. Come on in. I'll get everyone up."

The female digimon allowed him in. Gennai looked around the interior and noticed fake weapons plastered on the ceiling and weapons encased in glass to gaze at. He spotted Witchmon walking around the glass counter and into the room in the back. Gennai followed her and found himself into large room which gave off a living room vibe. The female digimon pointed at the table.

"You can pour yourself some tea while I wake up Synthesismon."

"Didn't you say there are more digimon here?"

"Including me there and Synthesismon there are only five digimon living here and each of us make up the Team Smith."

"Team Smth?"

"You know what I mean, Crafting, weapon making. Whatever you tell use we make em."

"Oh I see."

Witchmon giggled. "Anyway, I'll be right back with him."

She left through the door on the left side of the room. Gennai walked toward the cupboard and got himself a cup. He sat down and pour a cup tea. As he sipped the liquid he found it had some kind of flavor added to it.

"Hmm, must be mint."

Moments later, Witchmon appeared through the doorway along with a strange chubby digimon with tan looking skin. He had a white fluffy mustache which looked as if he was mad scientist. He had on green suspenders, brown boots and gloves. He stared at Gennai with his brown eyes. The chubby digimon chuckled upon seeing the man.

"Well, well if isn't Gennai. You're appearance has changed, but your scent has not." The man formed a grin. "Nice to see you're still active."

"Hoi, a blacksmith never quits his reason for living. It is my passion to construct the best weapons for those who wish to wield them. Now do you want me to construct another sword?"

"Actually I want you to help me craft weapons by using this."

The digital man took out half of the digicore and placed it on the table. Both Witchmon and Synthesismon were in awe of the glowing material.

"What is it?" The witch digimon asked. "It looks beautiful."

"It's half of a digicore. Azulongmon told me to create weapons fit for the digidestined."

The blacksmith digimon was taken back by this. "Hoi, thee Azulongmon? Make weapons for the chosen of destiny. I don't know what to say. I feel honored by this."

Gennai handed him green folder. "In this folder are the digitdestined appearance, their personality, the names of their crest and all of their past battles."

Synthesismon picked it up and gazed through the documents about the digidestine. He was intrigued by the data about the destined as he scanned through it thoroughly. Witchmon looked over his shoulder glancing at the information until she eyed one in particular.

"One of them was the Digimon Kaiser? I heard about the hideous deeds he conducted."

"True" spoke Gennai. "But he was influenced by the power of the Dark Ocean that made him into what he was in the past. He still holds guilt to his crimes to this very day and it may take even more time for him to forgive himself."

"There's no use in sticking around in the past." said the champion digimon. "How about this? I'll make something in four days. Bring the kids here once we inform you."

Gennai smiled. "Thank you; in the mean time I'll be searching for more clues about our current situation and how to beat him."

"If you are in need of allies there is a digimon living in the Delta Plains, it's more like his training grounds and he usually guides tourist across there safely." Synthesismon leaned back in his chair. "Hoi, you may have to fight him in order gain a full partnership with him. Our fight ended in a draw last time and he admired me for my skills so he's now an honorary member of the Blacksmith team."

"Thanks I will take note to visit him when my injuries have healed."

"Care to spend the night?" Witchmon asked.

"No thanks I already told you I need to investigate more on how to defeat the Brotherhood. There still maybe more documents about the war between them and the maiden."

The female digimon approached the man and slapped him on the back. He winced. "Ow, why did you do that?"

"You're still hurt. I won't let you run off while you still have injuries. Stay here for a couple of days and then we'll see how you fair."

"No, I ne-"

She glared at him. "Listen to me. I don't need some man acting like he is fully capable of traveling. If you end up getting worse when your out at night. I'll find you, drag you back here and show you what true PAIN IS! GOT IT?"

Gennai gulped. "Y-yes ma'am."

She smiled sweetly. "I'm happy. If you excuse me I am heading off to bed. Night."

She left the room while yawning. Gennai was still stunned and fearful of her expression she had made.

"Don't worry about that. She's get like that a lot."

"So you say."

"Anyway, the couch over there turns into a bed. So feel free to use it. In the morning, my team will get right to work on the weapons."

He got up from the chair and left to go to bed."

Gennai glanced at the couch across the room. "I am feeling a little tired. I guess I could thank them for the hospitality."

As he motioned toward the bed the only thing he thought about is if the children were ready to wield weapons of destruction. Perhaps they are, but are they really?

-Sunday, Odaiba-

Daisuke and Veemon were asleep in his room on a Sunday morning. However today he planned to train Veemon to reach the Ultimate Level and then Mega. Gennai had informed them that can now reach Ultimate, but they would have to discover the path to the Mega Level on their own. No sweat, they won't need Mega for awhile. Although he found it bothersome that Veemon couldn't evolve into Paildramon for some reason. Armadillomon, Hawkmon, and Wormmon were having the same problems as well.

–Flashback-

Veemon and Daisuke were lying on top of a hill in the digital world watching the sun set. T.K. and Patamon approached them from behind.

"Nice sunset." Patamon said.

"Yep." Veemon agreed. "It reminds me of orange and chip ice cream that I had the other day."

T.K. noticed the look on the gogglehead's face. "What's wrong Dai?"

"I'm trying to figure out how to make Veemon go to the Ultimate Level."

"You two could fight an angry Mammothmon like you did with the Tortoismon."

Veemon shivered. "No thanks, everytime I eat cold pizza that nightmare comes up and it scares the crap out of me."

The blonde preteen chuckled. "Listen Daisuke, I think what you need to do is look deep inside yourself to discover your trait."

"Huh? Deep inside? I don't have a crest."

"You don't need one to figure it out. All you need to do is search deep inside to find it. Who knows whatever triggers Veemon's evolution may be the key."

"You think so eh?"

"It's my two cents. I'm guessing it might work."

Daisuke got up and stretched his arms. "Yeah, you it might be. Just think Veemon. You'll be kicking Brotherhood ass as Paildramon again."

Veemon jumped up and down. "Yeah, yeah."

–flashback ends-

The tired boy sat up on the bed and yawned. He needed to find something to do today. Perhaps taking a trip to the Digital World to train Veemon or.

"Hey, maybe I can check out that trailmon."

"Little brother."

His bedroom door opened revealing Jun's head peaking through. She still had the crazy hair style which was similar to Tai's. The boy rubbed his eyes and groaned.

"Grr, what is it Jun?" The teen girl frowned.

"Geez, you sound like you have beehive up your butt."

She walked into the room holding a cordless phone. "There's this girl who wants to talk to you. Mizuki is her name."

His eyes widen upon hearing the name of the girl. How did she get his number?

"Hmph, if your wondering why she got this number then I'm surprised you're too dimwitted to acknowledge that the school has a directory for names, address and phone numbers of students."

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING DIM?"

She winked at him. "Relax I'm only messing with you." She tossed him the phone, he caught after juggling it carelessly. "Try not to let people crawl under your skin okay? Including this girl, you never know who your soul mate is."

The preteen's face turned into a dark shade of red. He had a mix of anger and embarrassment.

"OUT NOW!"

"There you go again." She smirked again before leaving the room.

The goggled head snorted and picked up the phone.

"Yo?"

"Daisuke how are you?"

"I'm good, I just woke up."

"I'm sorry for waking you. I thought you would be up by now."

"What time is it?"

"11:30"

"I see, so did you move the rest of your stuff into your apartment?"

"My mom, brother and I succeeded. I was wondering if you would take me to the Art Museum today. If you're not busy?"

Daisuke looked at the sleeping blue dragon next to him. "I'm not busy, you mind if I bring some of my friends?"

"T.K. and Kari right? No, I don't mind."

"Great, tell me where you live and I'll be there to pick you up then I'll have T.K. and Kari meet us at the Museum."

"Thanks."

-Dark Ocean-

On the surface Demon and MagiKnightmon stood on the beach as they stared at the Dark Water where the undersea master resided.

"Those foolish intruders, they are disposed of right?"

"Of course, this Brotherhood is going to be a nuisance. Since one of them tried to kidnap the girl it would be best to convert more digimon into our army." Demon spoke

Magiknightmon turned to the dark digimon. "Or create more such as myself. We can try to get those to join us, but it would be best to create those who will be loyal to us."

"Magiknightmon is correct, we need something to release me from here. I can only transport those to and from here."

"As of I need to get out." Demon clenched his fist. "What's keeping me here is the influence of Ichijouji's Dark Digivice. If it wasn't that, I would have broken out months ago and slaughtered those brats"

"Creating and influencing is the best way to complete our goal over both worlds and gaining my bride to be. MagiKnightmon, take one of our newest minions into the city. Find the girl and make sure she is aware that I want her."

"Yes, but what about kidnapping her?"

"I want to watch more of what this Brotherhood does. I want to know more about their plans."

"I see.. Dagomon superiority will be known."

-Art Museum, Front Entrance-

"Where is he?" Kari asked.

T.K., Kari, Patamon and Gatomon met at the front entrance to the Art museum where they would spend most of their day. Unfortnately Daisuke and Mizuki weren't present. Patamon laid across Kari's head acting like it was her stuffed toy.

"Perhaps, traffic?"

Gatomon stood on four legs as she imitated a normal cat. "Leave it to him to plan something and then being late for it."

"Doesn't she live in the same apartment building as Yamato? It's not that far from where he lives." Kari said.

"No, but they are only five minutes late. It's all ready 1:35."

Patamon pointed ahead of them. "Hey look there they are."

Gatomon chuckled. "Don't they look cute running frantically to us?"

"Gatomon shh, Mizuki doesn't know yet."

The cat digimon nodded. Daisuke and Mizuki stopped running once they reached the two chosen.

"Heh, sorry about that, it was my fault I left the apartment a little late."

Mizuki nodded. "Blame my older brother. He wanted to check out Daisuke before we left."

"Your bro sure is protective. He reminds me of Kari's older brother, except he doesn't have forest for hair and is more caring."

"He's not a crude human being once you get to know him. He's an okay guy even if he talks rude sometimes he doesn't mean it."

"I felt he was looking at me wrong."

The girl walked forward. "Well shall we?"

Everyone nodded and went inside the building, well except for Gatomon remained outside. She looked up at the large building and smirked.

"I think I can sneak in." She then ran off to find another way into the building.

-Digital, Deskdrop Continent-

A holy sanctuary known as Angemon Cathedral stood. Guarded 24/7 by digital creatures called GuardiAngemon. The exterior looked like any normal Cathedral except it had the crest of hope plastered on the top of the double doors. Six visitors stepped on to the grounds of this holy area is search for answers to their questions. Tai, Izzy, Mimi, Agumon, Tentomon, and Palmon stopped their progress as they examined the large building. How they got here is all thanks to Gennai giving them the coordinates.

"Wow," Tai spoke in awe. "It looks just like the ones back in our world."

"Indeed, but we're not here for a tour." said Izzy

Tai nodded. "I know why we came here, it's just it looks more impressive than the ones back home."

"Why are we here again?" Agumon asked.

"Were you even paying attention? I told you about it before we left from the apartment."

"I was watching T.V. and it was a great program too."

"Everyone please."

Mimi budged in. "We came here to search for some clues about my vision from last night."

Palmon pointed towards the doors. "We can ask the guards if we can have look around on the inside."

"Excellent!"

Tentomon buzzed by Palmon. "Here, I'll go and inform them of our arrival."

"Tentomon!"

"Tentomon WAIT!"

The child of knowledge called out. Tentomon was already out of hearing range to hear his partner. The two Guardiangemon saw the insect digimon flying towards them and decided to greet him…with harsh actions.

"Yipe!" Tentomon halted from being pierced by the angel digimon's blade.

"Woah, what's the big idea."

"State your grounds!"

"Uh well uh."

"No answer?"

"Yes I have an answer. You startled me by pointing your blade at me. How would you THINK I react?"

"My apologies, you understand you are on the holy grounds. This is Maiden's holy sanctuary."

"Huh? Why did she name it after Angemon?"

"Angemon has two mega forms. She once had a husband named Seraphimon who could silde evolve into Goddramon. Sadly he fell ill and she built this holy sanctuary after him."

"I see."

"Tentomon!"

The two Guardian digimon saw the rest of the group approaching. "State you cause!"

"Woah."

Tai jumped back before he ran into the blade. "Watch where you are pointing that thing! Sheesh."

Mimi stepped up. "I'm sorry for coming, but I need to come in side. You see I had a vision last night telling me to come here."

"A vision you say?"

"Yes, it had the voice of a woman, I can't describe her physical appearance due to her being a ball of light, but her voice was gentle and soothing. It felt I could trust everything she said to me. Then she showed me a picture of this Cathedral and told me to go there. This happened yesterday."

"I see, hmm. Young lady, sirs, I can smell traces of holy light coming from out of each of you."

"What you can?"

"Yes, how did you acquire this?"

"It was a gift from Azulongmon."

Both angel digimon gasped. "Did you say Azulongmon!"

Izzy nodded. "Correct, I believe you seen him or were close."

"Yes, he and the other three Holy Beast received blessing from the Sovereign of Life herself. It was a parting gift before her final sacrifice."

"How is Azulongmon?" asked the other digimon.

"He was captured by the Brotherhood." replied Agumon.

"No," the first Guardiangemon spoke in sadness. "Then it's just as we feared. Quick come inside, we'll lead you to head of this sanctuary. You can tell him everything you told us."

"Thank you." replied Mimi. The destined now have permission to enter the Sanctuary there Mimi might get the answer she needed.

Throughout the day the group of four, five if you count Patamon, ventured throughout the museum gazing at the art and portraits that were there for their view pleasure. Daisuke was starting to become bored, but he didn't let it show. He didn't want to hurt Mizuki's feelings. On the plus side, he did find some of the portraits worth looking at. He had to admit, art wasn't his thing and found it time consuming, but he was very impressed by the art work.

Kari and T.K. were also interested in most of the portraits they had seen. Some were representing the beauty of nature, telling those to enjoy scenery at its fullest. Then there were others representing emotions. The emotions shown through the artwork was simply breath taking to people who visualize art as watching a Live concert. The gogglehead listened to Mizuki's interpretations on some of the artwork and felt himself understand the passion the artist had.

The group came across another painting which had darken red sky and a black terrain mixed with red. Mizuki gazed at the painting at for a few moments. She turned around to face the group.

"What do you all see?"

Kari walked forward and scanned the painting. "I feel like the atmosphere has changed the longer I look it.."

T.K. squinted his eyes. "Hmm, I think I see white spot in the middle. It's invisible when you are in the distance, but it becomes when get close to portrait."

"Hey you're right." The gogglehead squinted his eyes.

"It does have a tiny white dot."

"Deep within the shadows." Everyone turned to the raven haired girl. "You're trapped, with no way out. The darkness is there and wants to consume you."

The blonde preteen noticed the expression on the child of light's face. He knew the words made her feel uncomfortable, especially of two oppositions after her.

"Even if the darkness consumes, there will always be a tiny speck of light. That light will shine and overcome the darkness." She turned to them and smiled. "At least that's how I think of it."

Daisuke looked at the painting and back at Mizuki. "I see it as a nightlight."

The raven haired girl chuckled. "You're funny Daisuke."

"Heh, yeah I know." He rubbed his head chuckling to himself. "Besides, I never knew art was this interesting."

"You have a crush on me right?"

The gogglehead was taken back by this. "Wha? What?" He was obviously feeling mixed up right now. How can you have feelings for a girl that you just met a few days ago? The raven haired girl chuckled. "No need to babble, can't you take a joke."

He started to calm down. "Heh, right a joke."

"You're funny." She grinned. "Anyone hungry?"

"You know I am."

"Isn't it obvious Daisuke."

"Huh? What's that suppose to mean?"

"Nothing, you're kind of cute when you're clueless."

"Cute?"

T.K. and Kari laughed making the boy the blush and embarrassed. "Heh, really?"

"Across the street there's a place where we can get food."

"What are we waiting for come on."

The children left to find the exit, while they were walking Gatomon poked her head around the corner and frowned.

"Awe, they're leaving. Just when I finally got into this place."

She glanced at a vase with artwork littered on it. "I must admit, the humans have way with expressing themselves, but it's nothing like the Ancient Raijinmon Temple."

She looked over the corner and found the kids were gone.

"Crap, I don't want to go the way I came in. I gotta find them."

She sped off to find the kids. The group reached the entrance of the museum where they would leave.

"I had a lot of fun here learning about a bunch of new stuff. I never looked at art the same way I did today." Mizuki smiled.

"Heh, you learn something new each day. What else do you do for fun?"

"Do you play soccer?"

"No, I haven't. I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to that sport."

"Then may be we can practice it together." He looked towards T.K. and Kari. "Hey how about you two join us."

"I'd be glad too."

"Sure, two on two the next we're together."

"Heh, Mizuki and I vs. you and Kari." Daisuke arrogantly chuckled.

T.K. calmly grinned. "I call that fair wouldn't you say Kari?"

The brown haired girl nodded. "Sounds fun, but like Mizuki I'm only a beginner."

"Really, living with your brother hasn't brought out any special talent?" The blonde boy asked.

The girl shrugged. "I guess not, but we won't know until we're out on the field."

The group exited the museum as did Gatomon who managed to dash by before the door closed on her. Mizuki looked forward and saw a familiar car stationed in the parking lot. "My mom's here? She didn't tell me she was going to pick me up."

"We can find out why."

They marched across the parking lot to the stationed car. Upon reaching it the window rolled down to reveal woman in her late thirties. Her black hair was in a bunch and she donned on a pair of glasses helping her teal eyes see. She smiled at the group. "Daisuke it's good to see you again."

The boy nodded. "Likewise Mrs. Daigo." Her attention was now on T.K. and Kari.

"New friends of your Mizuki?"

"I'm Takeru Takaishi."

"Please to meet you. I'm Hikari Kamiya."

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. Mizuki I hope you didn't forget about tonight?"

"Tonight?" The raven hair girl wondered before it all clicked in her head. "Oh," She solemly frowned. "An old fashion dinner party. How could I forget?"

"Mizuki,"

"I'm sorry, but it's that I don't really want to a reception hosted by the monkeys in suits of your company you now work for." "I understand you don't want to go, but your brother is occupied by the entrance test for college and medical applications so he chose not to study."

"Lucky him."

"Mizuki." "

"Yeah, I understand." She turned around and bowed. "I had an awesome day today. Thank you Daisuke. I hope we can hang out more often. Same goes to T.K. and Kari." The gogglehead grinned and gives her a thumb up.

"No sweat, we'll always have a blast together."

The raven haired girl chuckled. "You're funny Dai. Let's keep it that way. I'll see you all tomorrow." She got in her mother's car. Mrs. Daigo waved to them.

"Nice meeting you again bye." As she rolled up the window she started the car and began to drive out of the parking lot. T.K. turned to the gogglehead.

"Today was really fun don't you think?"

"Yeah, I had fun being here. I learned a lot."

"Mizuki is real nice, did you say she lived with her mother and brother?"

"Yeah, she never mentioned her father. I figured they might have gotten into a divorce."

"We shouldn't ask her about it. Maybe it will come up sometime, but not now."

Kari took out her D3. "You think we should head to the digital world?"

"Child of light."

Kari froze, the voice caused chills to run down her spine. T.K. and Daisuke stood in front of Kari blocking the evil Magiknightmon from coming near her. The evil being scoffed.

"Hmph, do you two honestly think acting as a wall will help her? You're only putting you own lives on the line."

Patamon flew from Kari's arms and floated in front them. "How about me?"

"And me!" Gatomon jumped in front of the group.

Magiknightmon chuckled. "I'm not in the mood to fight, just to let you know that we'll keep coming for you Hikari, and not only that, this Brotherhood will seek you too."

"Tell us something we don't know." Daisuke growled.

"Do you care for the girl?"

The boy's eyes lit up.

"What did you say?"

"I hate to think what would happen to her."

"Why are you even threatening me?"

"Listen boy, we and the Brotherhood would love to have the child of light, but once we gain the power to unleash our army onto the real world we'll kill or capture any human that attempts to escape us. However the time will come when the Dark Ocean and the Brotherhood attempt to kill each other. I predict this and the digital world will be a war zone in this conflict where only one opposition will survive."

"I had enough of your babbling!"

He yanked out his D3. "Digi Gate open! Veemon"

A neon green portal materialized in front of them bringing interest to the dark digimon.

"A fancy lightshow is going to startle me? Unbelievable."

"V-Heabutt!"

The blue dragon digimon leapt toward the dark digimon only to be swiped away with the flick of a hand. The blue creature landed next to the group as the portal faded.

"Veemon!"

"I'm okay," He grunted as he got up.

"Remember what I said. Soon we'll take you Kari, but only when the time is right."

"Time or not, get him VEEMON!"

Veemon digivolve to… XV-mon!

The large blue dragon reels back his fist preparing to strike the evil being. "I don't know what you said to provoke them, but I here to smash your face into the pavement."

The dark digimon merely jumped to the side and watched the dragon's fist fly past. "We won't fight today, but next time I won't come alone." As he finished his speech he vanished into purple smoke.

The gogglehead cursed. "Damn him. He better not hurt Mizuki! Come on XV-mon!"

"Uh where are we going?"

"We're checking to see if she's all right." The gogglehead climbed on top of the large beast and started to take off, but he took a glance at his two friends. "Kari don't let metal head bother you. We'll protect you."

T.K. nodded. "Daisuke's right, as soon as we get our weapons it'll be much easier to defend ourselves."

"Thank you, but Daisuke try not cause a disturbance by anyone okay?" Kari spoke.

"No worries, XV-mon are flying high!" He flapped his wings and rocketed towards the sky.

T.K. turned toward Kari. "Come on, I'll take you home."

"Thanks T.K."

"Listen, don't worry. We'll defeat them for sure."

The young girl knew he was right, but she still felt worried. Although, she shouldn't let it affect her too much. Whatever happens they better prepare for it.

A large navy blue room, a room decorated with flowers. However lying in the middle of the room was a white opened coffin. Inside it was nothing, no body. Sitting on the group with awed expression on her face was Mimi. Kneeling beside her was Izzy who had shocked look on his face. Behind him is Tai and he look of a child would have when he witnessed something magical. Running into the room was MangaAngemon except he donned a robe rather than his usual attari.

"Did you find her?" Then he saw what they saw. Standing before them in their full Mega form was Wargreymon, next to him was young female donned red clothing. Her name is Rosemon. Standing behind them was a giant gold beetle digimon by the name of HerculesKabuterrimon. Rosemon looked at herself and giggled in glee.

"Wow, I look hotter than I did as Lilymon."

"Hmm, I was hoping I could be humanoid." said the gruff voice of the giant beetle."

Wargreymon looked at his claws and flexed his muscles. "I'm back." He glanced at Tai. "I'm ready to kick some ass."

Tai smiled. "Oh you will." He jumped up in the air like a little kid. "You're going to kick a whole lot of ass."

Next chapter -Preparation-

A/N: Next chapter will explain what happened and the kids will finally attain their weapons and test them out.
