"Just when I though Takuya was trouble when we first met. Though we got the answer as to why the Legendary Warriors took an interest in Takara. But after they explain the situation she isn't sure if to join or not. That was quickly changed as Meramon appeared and began destroying Flame Terminal City. A new Digidestined named Kurogasa emerged with Gabumon who then Digivolved to Garurumon to take out the Digimon. As it turns out there was more than one, so after trial and error Takara Digivolved Agumon to Greymon and sent Meramon packing with her first Purification." – Koji Minamoto

CHAPTER 3 – GRANDMA'S CALL?!

When they first starting looking for Chosen, the Ten Legendary Warriors swore they would never put the children in direct danger without the proper training. They knew the dangers of the Digital World and they knew that there were places they could go and could not, and they swore to train them the best they could. However this would be on the rare occasions as they were constantly busy with their regions work as well as the Human World.

The second pact they made was to bring the guardians of the chosen's here to speak to them. They would never go to the human world unless they needed to talk to a member of the World Government. That would be the only time. They each swore after THAT horrible day. All Agunimon could remember was a lot of screaming, and a lot of women.

And now this new chosen, was pretty much telling them to go to the Human World.

"Your serious…aren't you…" Agunimon asked, seeming annoyed. His left eye twitched ever so often and his lips were in a perfect frown. Takara crossed her arms.

"Fraid not. She doesn't like the Digital World. Hell I had to practically beg her, and complete her ridiculous tasks before coming her!" Takara told the group standing around her.

"What did she make you do?" Kurogasa asked. He wasn't one to pry unless necessary but he was rather curious as to what the Grandmother would force her grandchild to do to come her.

"First off, I had to get Straight A's in all my classes. Do you know how hard it is to stay awake in History, Math and Science!? I felt like my brain was turning to mush!" She began complaining. "And then she has me train for the Karate Championship, which I won (with ease) for the Novice Division!"

"You serious?" Kurogasa sweatdropped.

"And then she has me wait a full week after that! Then again it is actually cool to come here on the anniversary of the Digital Gate's opening….so that one wasn't as bad," Takara yelled before muttering and tilting her head to the right.

"Sounds good if you ask me," Kurogasa commented till Takara glared at him.

"Were you forced to also be at the top of your class?"

"Okay yeah that one is hard to do," Kurogasa had to agree.

"And even then I still don't understand half the stuff they taught me! I had to spend thirty eight hours a week for tutoring sessions to even get an A-! Why the hell can't we start outside the parentheses in the Order of Operations?! We'd still get the same answer!" The girl was obvious reliving confusing memories as her eyes portrayed dizziness and confusion.

"Whoa calm down!" Kurogasa yelled. "I…Don't have an answer for that, but hey you're here now and that's what counts so let's get back on topic!"

"Thank you Kurogasa," Lobomon replied.

"R-right, right, right, right," Takara began to calm down and took a few breaths to aid in that. "Okay, so yeah, grandma won't come here, I can guarantee that. So is there ANYWAY you guys can go to the Human World to explain?" Takara asked, placing her hands together and bowing her head. Each of the warriors gave the other a concerned look.

"As much as we would like to…" Loweemon started.

"We can't." Lobomon finished. Takara gawked.

"Why not?!" She yelled in a rather high pitched tone, causing several Digimon to cringe.

"We can't leave the Digital World for political and psychological reasons."

"Psychological? What do you mean by that?"

"He means that…oh boy…" Agunimon had no clue how to answer that one.

"You see my dear Takara," Bokomon decided to take the liberty of explaining the situation. "The Legendary Warriors can only retain their Champion forms in the Digital World for some reason. Every time they go to your world, they De-Digivolve to their Rookie levels. And form what Lobomon explained to me that last time," Said Digimon Warrior of Light shook, as if trying to settle to a chill. "There rookie forms are cute enough to cause women to cling to them. And there is a policy stating that Digimon can't harm humans unless they harm them, and vice versa."

"So wait…you won't go to meet my grandmother…because you're afraid of rabid fangirls calling your rookie forms CUTE?!"

"NO! We don't wanna due form suffocation!" Lobomon retorted. Takara could hardly believe it. The Ten Legendary Warriors were the fiercest, noblest, and strongest Digimon team in the Digital World, even matching strength with the legendary Royal Knights. They defeated corrupted Digimon, took down a tyrant angel whose rookie form had the powers of a MEGA, destroyed a Digimon GOD that could rip apart time AND space, and the one thing that stops them in their tracks are their fear of going rookie and girls flocking to them.

Oddly enough, there is nothing wrong with that picture. She had seen Lillymon-

"OH MY GOD!" Takara screamed, causing everyone, including bystanders that were walking around, to turn towards the brunette twin tail, her hands holding her head as it was leaning back. Each of the warrior's eyes was wide and shocked at the female's outburst. Even Kurogasa and Gabumon were surprised. She must have remembered something important.

"I forgot about Lillymon, Bearmon and Guilmon!" At this Agumon chocked on his food. The poor dinosaur's face turn blue as he struggled with the food stuck in his throat.

"Is he playing a game?" Neemon asked while watching Agumon's desperate search for the water. Eventually the Digimon found it and chugged the glass down, sadly it was not enough. He pounded on the table, waving his legs wildly.

"Agumon's suffocating!" Bokomon yelled.

"Thanks Captain Obvious!" Lobomon replied as he and Loweemon began searching for anything Agumon could drink.

"I told you to slow down earlier now why didn't you listen!?" Takara screamed as she picked up the large dinosaur and began pumping his chest from behind. Kurogasa lent a hand but sadly both were unable to do it.

"We're not strong enough!" Kurogasa yelled.

"Give him to me!" Takara listened to Agunimon and the warrior took over. Eventually, Agumon was able to have Agumon breathe again. Sadly, the food didn't go down like it was supposed to, and Takara stood right in front of him. Kurogasa knew what was coming, as so did Agunimon. Takara had a guess. Eyes wide, the girl had this to say.

"Agumon NOOOOOO!"

Now why she didn't move that time, was the biggest mystery the Digimon have yet to solve.

DIGICODEDIGICODEDIGICODEDIGI CODEDIGICODE

"I'm sorry Takala!"

"What pisses me off even more is that you STILL can't say my name right unless in desperate situations!" The girl raged through the bathroom. After Agumon upchucked on the poor girl, and causing a massive shame as everyone there saw her drenched in pancakes and other unmentionables. Kurogasa escorted her back to her room so that she could take a shower and change into an extra set of clothes she brought with her in her backpack. Before she did however, she gave her new partner a few good knocks to the head. Agumon didn't even bother trying to rub the pain away from the red limps, fully believing he deserved them. If he had just listened to Takara about eating more slowly, he wouldn't have gotten food stuck down the wrong pipe, and then he wouldn't have upchucked.

"I'm sorry Taka…ra…" He made an attempt to say her name correctly. A long silence accompanied the small room. A heavy sigh escaped the shower.

"I'll forgive you…this time…." The sounds of curtains being drawn back made Agumon wonder if she was done. The sound of running water also stopped.

"Hey did Kurogasa come back with my clothes?"

"Not yet. Though it was nice enough of him to volunteer to take them to the laundry mat downstairs."

"I feel guilty he had to do that…" Agumon cringed. She was still upset. The doors opened and Takara came out. Her new attire consisted of a navy blue sleeveless hoodie over a t-shirt with red sleeves, gray base with a thick white strip circling her chest and back with two similar but smaller red stripes. Her pants were black with three silver buttons in place of a zipper, white socks and her still black with red stripped boots. Around her neck was the silver tag. Her hair was still damp, hence the towel she was using to dry it, and her goggles were inside the sink soaking in warm water.

"Wow Takala!" Takara glared at Agumon, but even so he didn't care. "It's not my fault the 'l's and 'r's sound the same in Japanese! But anyway, you look really pretty with your hair down like that!" The girl blushed and turned away, throwing the towel next to her backpack. She sat down and fell backwards onto the bed with white and gray sheets. It was firm, but still rather comfy.

"Lillymon's gonna have a field day when she finds out what happened," The brunette placed her arms over her eyes. At this Agumon turned his gaze from the bed to the floor. He was upset; he had no clue where his friends were. All they knew is that they lost them while trying to get out of the stadium lobby packed with people. Agumon prayed to the Celestial Digimon that they were okay. The tiny dinosaur Digimon felt a hand on his head and looked up, seeing Takara smile as she petted his head.

"No need to worry, I'm sure they're okay!"

"Yeah…but could we go and fine them anyway!?"

"Of course, besides Lillymon is probably-"

"TAAAAAAAKAAAAAAARRRRRAAAAAAA AAAA! EVERYTHING IS OKAAAAAY! BIG SIS LILLYMON WILL FIIIIIIIND YOOOOOUUUUUUUUU!"

"Unless she gets arrested for disturbing the peace!" Takara commented before going out onto the outside patio, searching for the pixie Digimon. She looked left, right, up, down everywhere. What she failed to do was look in front of her. Agumon was outside of the patio, until Takara came back, tumbling in and Lillymon on top of her hugging her to death.

"TAKARA! THANK OPHANIMON YOUR OKAY! I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!" The pixie screamed as she held the girl as tightly as she could muster, causing Takara some shortage of breathe.

20 minutes later…

Takara panted heavily while leaning on the bed. Lillymon lowered her head in shame for nearly killing the girl

"For crying out loud...burned alive, stench, suffocation…I could have died from any of that…." Takara muttered with venom in her voice. Seriously why did this happen to her, in the course of 24 hours of being in the DIGITAL WORLD!? Whoever said 'no worries' was a person filled with BS! She oughta find a way to materialize that damn meerkat and strangle HIM. Oh wait…right it was the baboon that coined that term.

"Takara?" Said girl turned around to Lillymon who was sitting on her legs. "Where have you been all night? I went looking for you everywhere yesterday!"

"Dear god it's a LONG story…"

"I'm not going anywhere, so spill!"

"…." In truth Takara rather would not. Sadly not everyone shared her beliefs.

"Simple really. We took Takara to the coliseum, got into a fight with Cerberumon that almost killed us, made me Digivolve to Greymon, then we met the Legendary Warriors who wanted us to help save the world, then we got attacked again, I Digivolved again, took out the Meramon, went to sleep, Takara said okay but we gotta talk to gramma and then I upchucked on her. Nothing special really." Agumon explained. Lillymon was in a total daze form that speed lecture while Takara turned her head around.

"Agumon. There are these words called adjectives and verbs. You might wanna add a few."

DIGICODEDIGICODEDIGICODEDIGI CODEDIGICODE

"Well that was…eventful…" Kurogasa was leaning against the wall, arms crossed while waiting for the girl's clothes to wash and dry. Luckily the Digital World could clean clothes faster than you can sing Mary Poppins's "Supercalifragilisticexpialid ocious."

"That was nice of you to do that though," Gabumon raised a hand/paw. In response Kurogasa scratched his nose.

"I couldn't leave the poor girl like that. I'm surprised she wasn't traumatized…"

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha! You rhymed!" Gabumon laughed.

"Yeah yeah. But still, that's no ordinary girl."

"You think so? She reminds me of Ailis and Sirena," Gabumon spoke up.

"Except, I doubt any of them would be alive after seeing Agumon's breakfast splattered all over them," Kurogasa replied. Eventually the machine beeped, telling its customer to take out the clothes, which Kurogasa did. As he placed them on two hangers his mind traced back to before Agumon suffocated. "I wonder what her grandmother is like. She sounds pretty strict to make Takara do all those tasks."

"Who knows?"

"Also, who's Lillymon?"

"WWWWWWHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAT!?" A large, booming, high pitched squeal rang throughout the building.

"Never mind…" Kurogasa sweatdropped.

DIGICODEDIGICODEDIGICODEDIGI CODEDIGICODE

"A DIGIDESTINED?! THE TEN LEGENDARY WARRIORS ASKED YOU TO BE A DIGIDESTINED?!"

"Hey Lillymon scream louder would ya the entire city can't hear you!" Takara yelled back with her hands plugging her ears at the girl's unnecessarily loud outburst. Lillymon covered her mouth in response and bowed her head rapidly, silently apologizing over and over again.

"But it's such a big responsibility! There is no way your grandmother would allow it!"

"In all honesty I think so too, but you know what? It's about time I stand up to her and tell her what I really want!" Takara stood tall and proud, ready to face any challenge!

"Even if that mean's facing against the Demon of Shibuya?" Lillymon whispered; a suspicious and non-believable expression plastered on her face. Once that title was said, all of Takara's courage and pride were destroyed. Blue and black haunted the fear on the girl's face.

"Yeah that's what I though…"

"Demon of Shibuya?" Agumon tilted his head, his claw next to his mouth.

"Basically Takara's Grandmother's title. She's really feared throughout the city, hell during the incident when the Digital Gate opened-"

"I thought it was called a Wormhole!"

"Wormhole, Digital Gate, Leviamon's hole whatever! The point is that it was Takara's grandmother that banded everyone together to actually get past that crisis. It helps when you have 80 years of connections…."

"Still doesn't tell me why she's the Demon of Shibuya!"

"Basically, if she has a naginata, a war scythe in Japan, then she becomes a fierce fighter that can smite mountains, burn valleys and even cause fear into the hearts of Human AND Digimon! She won the Karate Championship three years in the senior division, was a Senator for the Japanese Government before retiring, hell she even use to be a traveling adventurer! There are rumors she took down a Lilithmon with only pure willpower!" Lillymon explained with a fierce expression on her face. Agumon was in full amazement.

"Wow Takara I can see where you got your personality from!"

"If you want me to kill you Agumon, all you have to do is say so. And stop feeding him lies Lillymon!"

"WHAT!? It's true she defeated a Digimon!"

"It wasn't Lilithmon. I doubt the Seven Deadly Demons would think about a human."

"Yeah that's kinda true…" Agumon crossed his arms and nodded, until it crossed his mind. "Then what Digimon did your grandmother defeat?"

"…That's a good question." Takara stuttered. She really had no clue who it was, or what it was, but her Grandma did something to a Digimon.

"Uh Takara?"

"Yes Agumon?" The brunette turned towards the Digimon.

"Aren't we supposed to meet up with the Legendary Warriors once you were done?"

"ON SNAP!" Takara yelled. She ran into the bathroom, grabbed her goggles and placed them around her neck, stuck her D-Analyzer into her pocket and placed up her twin tails.

"Wait you're going to meet them? I wanna come!" Lillymon announced.

"Fine, just don't go motor mouth or drama queen!" Lillymon saluted the female like she would a commander.

"Sir, yes sir!"

DIGICODEDIGICODEDIGICODEDIGI CODEDIGICODE

It had been fifteen minutes since Kurogasa arrived at a rather large room with a circular table and the three warriors sitting at various seats. Agunimon and Lobomon sat next to each other while Loweemon sat two chairs down from Agunimon. Kurogasa took his seat next to Lobomon, followed by Gabumon sitting next to his friends. Bokomon and Neemon were standing next to the Warrior of Flame.

"So how was clean up duty?" Neemon asked the Digidestined. Kurogasa laughed lightly as Gabumon answered him.

"She's not going to be happy."

"We figured that out already," Bokomon muttered. The doors opened and standing at them were Takara, Agumon, and a very over ecstatic Lillymon. The Pixie looked around the room till her eyes fell onto a familiar Warrior Digimon. Her eyes wide, the girl let out a squeal of joy before running past Agunimon and straight to Lobomon.

"I can't believe it's the Lobomon! This is such a great honor sir, can I have your autograph!?" Lillymon was shaking the Warrior of Light's hand, screaming like an ecstatic fangirl meeting her favorite celebrity idol. Then again that was the situation. She pulled out a book containing a picture of Lobomon, her head bowed and her arms outstretched. A blank expression was on the poor warriors face. He had no clue what to do. Naturally Agunimon did.

"All you gotta do is sign your name on the picture, shouldn't be too hard for a great warrior such as yourself," Agunimon was trying so hard to be sarcastic while trying not to laugh. Lobomon's left eye twitched.

"…why?"

"You were voted prettiest boy Digimon in the Digital World." Agunimon couldn't hold it in any longer. He busted out laughing at the look of utter shock and jaw dropped of the always calm Lobomon.

"T-THEY DIDN'T!" Lobomon shrieked.

"HELL YEAH THEY DID! I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL THEM WEAK! PAYBACKS A BITCH!" Agunimon cried out in laugher, holding his sides as he felt off the chair. EVEN Loweemon was laughing, but his was more contained. Even so the other didn't fail to realize it.

"Et tu, Brother?" Lobomon glared at his other half, who only continued to laugh silently. It wasn't until he heard another snicker that he was about to explode. Kurogasa's head was on the table but the obvious shaking gave away the fact that he too was laughing. The only ones who weren't were Takara, who was trying to keep Agumon form laughing, Neemon who was snoring while standing up, Bokomon who had his head in his book, and Lillymon, who was staring at him with hearts in her eyes.

All Takara could do was blink in amazement. She never would have guess that the heroes she looked up to would act this way. She was especially surprised by Agunimon's choice of words. It sounded like something a teenager would say rather than a leader of the Fire Region of the Digital World.

Lobomon thought back to the two Digimon that did this to him. A human Digimon with butterfly wings and another human like Digimon whose skin was blue. Their eyes were covered but he could still hear them both laughing. A complete accident on calling them weak had them both abusing their specialty and making him a damn pretty boy. The laughing continued until the hearts in Lillymon's eyes quickly turned to flames of rage. How dare they laugh at HER Lobomon?!

"DON'T CRITICIZE HIM! WHO CARES IF HE'S THE PRETTIES, but handsomest, DIGIMON IN THE DIGITAL WORLD! HE'S STRONG, GENTLEMANLY, AND EVEN HOT! His smile which can cause hearts aflutter, his powers that can illuminate the blackest of nights, and he is OBVIOUSLY the strongest of the Ten Legendary Warriors! Name one time in your life in which you didn't need his help!" Lillymon's words actually got everyone to shut up. Agunimon had to cringe. She was right, most of the time he did need wolf-boy's help, especially during the last fourteen years. Then again, so did Lobomon. A quick cough from said Warrior caused Lillymon to turn around.

"While I appreciate the vote of strongest, I would have to say, my Brother has that title." Lobomon turned towards the Warrior of Darkness. Lillymon felt her arms drop.

"Y-you don't have to be modest…"

"Nope, he's not," Agunimon raised his hand in agreement.

"Can we get back as to why we are here?" Loweemon did not want THIS conversation to start up again. Agunimon and Lobomon nodded in agreement as Lillymon was pulled away from the Light Warrior by Takara.

"Riiiiight…your grandmother…" Agunimon sighed heavily. "So…one of us, or a representative, has to go to the human world to talk to her."

"Is there anyway you can get her to come here?" Kurogasa asked, knowing the three warriors were traumatized with last year's excursion into the Human World, having been there to bail the group out. Takara sighed.

"I wish. All I know is that she refuses to go to the Digital World, and she almost banned me form going. Well we all know how that went!"

"We do?" Neemon asked, to which Bokomon pulled his pants.

"Of course we do! She wouldn't be here otherwise!"

"…right then Kurogasa!" Agunimon clapped his hands together and smiled. "I am going and you are coming with me!"

"Wait what!?"

"YOU. ARE. GOING." Agunimon couldn't stress the words hard enough. Kurogasa took that as a hint to go.

"Alright, we'll just grab a Trailmon and head on over." Agunimon stood from his seat and began walking away, confusing the young girl.

"Wait, I thought the portal was closed for a week!"

"Normally yes but WE have the Celestial Digital Gate to use. It was a Gate created by the Celestial Digimon Ophanimon, Cherubimon and Seraphimon, to help us move in between both worlds without problems or time lags," Kurogasa explained.

"Isn't that cheating?"

"Yep pretty much!" Bokomon wasn't going to lie.

"Even the good guys don't have honor." Neemon replied.

"Doesn't look like it," Takara sarcastically agreed. However, this didn't sit well with the Warrior of Flame.

"Get GOING!" Agunimon yelled, fire pouring out of the vents on his gauntlets, causing everyone to run outside of the room, several Digimon laughing. Agunimon placed his head in his hand. However, an interesting question was brought to the mind of the Warrior of Darkness.

"Alright, why just Kurogasa?"

"Would you rather Haruto go with us?"

"Kurogasa is the only person willing to negotiate. The others are too young, and he is the eldest Digidestined," Lobomon commented. Agunimon saluted and left the room.

"I thought Haruto was older…" Neemon replied. Bokomon smacked his head on his book.

"He meant by seniority…"

"But that's what I meant." Neemon replied, just before Bokomon slammed his book into his face.

DIGICODEDIGICODEDIGICODEDIGI CODEDIGICODE

Agunimon took the two humans and three Digimon to a rather strange station. Unlike the normal, human ones in the Digital world, this one was just a platform with a tunnel and data lines leading down it. At the tunnel was an odd looking yellow Trailmon that made Takara think of a duck. However, this one was sleeping.

"Meet Kettle, our personal Trailmon to the Human World," Gabumon introduced.

"I think the introductions would be better if it was awake," Agumon replied.

"To tell you the truth I am not surprised," Agunimon commented.

"Agumon's right!" Lillymon's wings fluttered as she flew over to the snoring Digimon. The pixie knocked on the red cap of the Trailmon. "Hello!~ Anybody home?" She continued knocking on various places, such as the head, caboose, anything with metal. Sadly the knocking was only activating more snoring.

"Why not try this? Gabumon?" Kurogasa suggested, all the while Gabumon pranced over to Kettle. With a big intake of air, Gabumon placed his hands up to his mouth.

"FIIIIIIRRREEE!" The young Digimon yelled out, causing the sleeping Trailmon to actually jump in shock. His screamed echoed throughout the tunnel as Kettle looked around frantically, well as much as you can when you're a Trailmon.

"Yo what the heck is going ON!?" Kettle was NOT happy about being awoken sleep.

"Sorry Kettle but we need a ride." Agunimon answered with a smile. The Trailmon's eyes narrowed.

"After a wake-up call like that you're lucky I am even here!" The yellow Trailmon complained before sighing. "Where to?"

"Shibuya Station," Kurogasa answered.

"Wha? Didn't a Trailmon come in yesterday from there?"

"Yep! We were on it!" Lillymon replied while still fluttering in the air.

"Please Mr. Kettle, we really need to get Takara's Grandmother's approval to make her a Digidestined!" Agumon bowed while explaining the situation. Kettle's eyes lit up.

"A new Digidestined?! But what about Takeshi!?"

"We don't know where he is Kettle," Agunimon replied, but there was a bit of sadness in his reply. Takara was able to catch it.

"Yo, you the new Digidestined?" Takara could only assume he was talking to her before nodding.

"We'll find out once we get there," That was the only answer she could give the Digimon. She really didn't know. Her grandmother was as bipolar as a Polar Bear. Nice one minute, ferocious the next. Kettle narrowed his eyes again at the girl, but she didn't flinch under the stare.

"Alright, hop aboard." The doors to the cars opened all at once. Takara smiled as Agumon and Gabumon raced to the cars, followed by Agunimon. Kurogasa and Takara were about to board until a voice cried out.

"WAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIT!" Takara turned back to the sound of the voice to see Neemon and Bokomon. The two small Digimon ran up to her, both panting as Bokomon used his hand to try and cool himself down. Once his breathe was caught the white Digimon stood up straight.

"I'm coming with you, as a representative as well of course. I am a scholar and perhaps I can assist in persuading your Grandmother," Bokomon explain his appearance.

"And I always wanted to see where Takuya and the others grew-OWWWWW!" Neemon was interrupted by his pants straps slamming onto his stomach. Bokomon huffed and jumped into the compartment.

"Takuya?"

"Nothing important my dear. Now then we best be off!" Bokomon walked away as Neemon, with Lillymon's help, managed to get into the car.

"Alright, cars are closing in three, two, one CLOSING!" Kettle announced as the door slammed behind Takara. Steam hissed form the pipes on the Trailmon as they slowly began to move.

"Takara, follow me!" Kurogasa said as Takara did as she was told and followed the man into Kettle himself. Amazingly the Digimon was like a normal train inside.

"We're getting' close Kurogasa!" Kettle said. Kurogasa affirmed with a nod and reached into his pocket, pulling out his D-Analyzer. Placing it in front of him, arm outstretched, the screen glowed brightly in the dim lit room.

"DIGIGATE, OPEN!"

DIGITAL GATE HARMONIZE

TERMINAL: SHIBUYA STATION

DIGITAL GATE OPEN

The female, almost angelic voice of the D-Analyzer announced, and a bright colored wormhole opened, letting Kettle pass through. Despite being a gate fashioned by the Celestial Digimon, it was no different from the Wormhole. Everything, even passing through felt strangely similar and yet, more inviting. The sound of Kettles wheels gliding over the tracks made Takara feel sleepy. A yawn escaped the girl's mouth.

"You tired?" The girl opened one eye in response to the man's question and nodded.

"I thought about a lot of things last night. By the way, how did you become a chosen?" Takara knew nothing about Kurogasa and decided that a little conversation could make the ride more enjoyable. The brown haired boy smiled and led the girl back into the compartment. When they opened the door, Gabumon, Agumon and Neemon were playing around, wrestling on the floor. Agumon was on the bottom, Gabumon on top and Neemon sitting on both of them. The three rolled around while Bokomon brought out his book and Lillymon giggled. Agunimon however was just staring out of the window, deep in thought. Kurogasa took a seat across form Takara, who sat on a seat next to the Pixie Digimon.

"For starters, it was a complete accident," Kurogasa's words got the three Digimon to stop wrestling each other and turned to him. Gabumon knew he didn't have to ask. He knew Kurogasa was going to explain that day. "It was me and Takeshi having to stay after school because of an argument we got with another classmate Haruto. Takeshi and he were ready to go at each others throats, so I tried to stop them, only to land in detention with them. And I should warn you now; Haruto is one of the Original Three Digidestined, the first three chosen by Agunimon, Lobomon and Beetlemon. The others didn't come till later."

"We decided to have Kurogasa come along as a representative instead of Haruto," Agunimon replied.

"Because this might be someone I won't get along with? Nice choice!" Takara raised her thumb in approval. Anyone Takeshi would attack was someone worth attacking. A soft laugh escaped his mouth and Kurogasa continued.

"Anyway, after we got done with it, the school was attacked. We tried to escape the building but we ended up trapped under the rebel. The ones who saved us were the Legendary Warriors Agunimon, Lobomon, Kazemon, Beetlemon and Kumamon but they also had a Royal Knight with them," Kurogasa recalled the events in his mind as if they were yesterday.

"What's a Royal Knight?" The girl knew about the Celestial Digimon and the Ten Legendary warriors, but knew little to nothing about the mysterious knights. Lillymon took the time to answer that one.

"They're a group of thirteen Mega-level Holy Knight Digimon that are the Digital World's sacred guardians, and are famed among Digimon as guardian deities. Sadly they don't like the Ten Legendary Warriors, well Crusadermon and Dynasmon anyway." The Pixie Girl shrugged. Agunimon growled at the mere mention of their names.

"Alright, if the Royal Knights are on bad terms with the Warriors why was one there?"

"Because that one knight was their leader, Alphamon," Kurogasa replied. Now that was a name she knew as the girl fell off of the seat. Her butt collided with the floor as she sat there in disbelief.

"N-N-N-NO FREAKIN WAY! He was ALIVE? HE'S REAL!?" Takara stared up in amazement as Kurogasa smiled.

"As real as you and me. He helped us get out, and it was at that time the prototype Digivices activated and five of them flew to us. Turns out they were in the Human World to conduct some business with the Senate and heard about the attack. After the clean-up they spoke to us and offered us the position of Digidestined. Naturally we all took it after convincing our own parents about the situation. At first my parents disagreed until I met Gabumon and made him Digivolve," Kurogasa's eyes trailed back to Gabumon who nodded.

"And I swore I would protect Kurogasa so that no Digimon would hurt him!"

"Huh…and that's the story?" Agumon asked, to which Gabumon nodded.

"The simplified version."

"Then I have a question. Were you able to Digivolve before you met Kurogasa?" Agumon asked the reptile, to which he nodded again. Agumon looked down on the ground solemnly.

"What's wrong?" Gabumon asked the dinosaur, concern expressed on his face and ears twitching slightly. But the minute he asked Agumon smiled.

"Nothing to special, nothing at all!" He proudly replied. Takara didn't buy it. Something must have been bothering him to even ask that. Maybe the clue was in the question. Maybe before meeting her, Agumon couldn't Digivolve. Wait, that's right, Agunimon did ask Agumon how it felt to finally do so. Takara was about to ask until an announcement came from Kettle.

"Alright passengers, welcome to the Human World, Shibuya Station, Shibuya, Japan!"

"It hasn't even been ten minutes and we're HERE?" Lillymon gasped.

"Yeah this Gate's pretty fast!" Gabumon answered at Lillymon's astonishment.

"And believe it or not this Gate is a prototype," Agunimon chimed, only for the pink Digimon to gasp even more. The Trailmon jerked a bit after activating his brakes, but eventually slowed down. The sound of steam being released filled the silence of the Terminal and the doors opened. Takara was the first to step outside. No doubt about it. This was the same Terminal she left in yesterday.

"Wow, they're even more powerful than I thought…."

"Before we get going I need to ask you something," Agunimon spoke up. Takara turned around.

"Yeah?"

"Did you, have any weird dreams before coming here, or before getting your Digivice?"

"Well…" Her thoughts trailed back to the mysterious doors she would find herself at when deep in thought or when sleeping. "I think so, why?" She asked, but instead of answering her, he walked past her.

"What was that about?" She wondered. After shrugging she followed him out once the other Digimon came running out.

"Guess I'll be chillin' right here," Kettle sighed before yawning and closing his eyes, returning to the sweet bliss of dream land.

The house they came to was something the group was expecting. Indeed it fit the setting of the country, but to sit a few blocks away from the city was something else. However, it wasn't until they got there that several made quotes.

"THAT'S YOUR HOUSE!?" Agumon screamed. Takara sweat dropped at his response.

"Yeah, pretty traditional."

"I haven't seen a house like this in a long time," Kurogasa commented.

"I haven't seen a house like this at all in my lifetime!" Gabumon announced in amazement. Agunimon decided not to say anything. Instead he was looking around, and even at himself.

The house in general wasn't the modern stereotypical house; it was a pure wooden style, black ceramic roofing tile traditional Japanese house. The building was two stories tall with two patios on the second floor, possibly leading to rooms. A six foot tall fence that was brick with a similar colored and design roof would make it difficult to jump over. A small pond laid on the right side of the house, with a stone ridge and several trees planted around the place. From what could be seen in front of the wooden gates was a stone path leading the entrance was outlined by white, large circular stones. The group was in astonishment, sans Lillymon and Agunimon. Takara walked up to the gate and pressed on an intercom button. The speaker made a few static sounds before the sound of an old man echoed through.

"Yes who is it?"

"Hi Grandpa!" Takara yelled. At that instant the gates opened and the entrance door as well followed suit. Standing at the doors was an elderly man with grayish white hair, a white beard, brown eyes and wearing a gray yukata with a dark blue sash around his waist and similar colored robe over the yukata.

"Takara!" His entire appearance gave off a friendly feeling as the old man laughed heartily as Takara ran up to him, giving her grandfather a hug.

"Awww how sweet~" Lillymon said, feeling a bubbly sweet feeling welling up inside herself.

"She was only gone for one day right?" Agumon asked.

"Yeah but she's really close to her Oji-chan!" Lillymon remarked.

"Oji-chan?"

"It's another term we call a grandfather, Gabumon," Kurogasa explained to his reptilian friend. The grandfather lifted his head to see Kurogasa, Lillymon, Agumon, Gabumon, Bokomon, Neemon and-

"HOLY GOD IS THAT THE WARRIOR OF FLAMES?!" Takara flinched at her grandfather's shock. His eyes were wide and out, his mouth dropped, he was utterly shocked. Takara pried herself from her relative and smiled.

"Yeah, about that, we need to talk to you and Grandma…."

DIGICODEDIGICODEDIGICODEDIGI CODEDIGICODE

The inside of the house was just as beautiful as the outside. Green Tatami mats layered the living room floors, a pure brown table separated Takara's group from her grandfather. A thirty six inch TV was behind him in a corner sitting on a stand made for it, with sliding doors leading outside to a lake and tree next to it on the right. Several pictures hanged on the wall and a smaller one was on the table with a small basket of oranges. As for seating arrangements it was, from left to right, Neemon, Bokomon, Gabumon, Kurogasa, Takara, Lillymon and Agunimon.

"This place is pretty," Neemon said aloud, causing the grandfather to laugh.

"You think so huh? My wife and I have been living here for going on 55 years! All renovated and built by yours truly!" The old man bragged as he laughed once more. Kurogasa leaned in closer to the female brunette.

"Your grandfather's pretty energetic," He whispered.

"That's Oji-chan for you, he may look old but his heart is like a little kids," Takara said in a small whisper. Said person's eyes narrowed at his granddaughter.

"What are you talking about?" Takara flinched.

"N-nothing Oji-chan!" The brunette remarked quickly. His eyes were still narrow but he closed then and nodded.

"So then, let me see if I got this right, you want my Granddaughter to join this campaign to save both worlds?"

"Yes, you see your granddaughter possesses the ability to Digivolve Agumon here," Bokomon explained as he gestured to him, "To a Greymon with incredible potential. And we would only be borrowing her."

"I made this promise to all of the Chosen, I would never send them to a battle they couldn't win and could get seriously hurt. I will accept and all responsibility for your granddaughter's safety," Agunimon bowed politely.

"Why the hell not?"

"Say what?" Agunimon had to double take. The Grandfather was smiling.

"I said, why the hell not? I didn't need the dramatics. Takara, if this is something you want to do then I say, GO FOR IT! Life isn't something you let take control! You're the one at the wheel, nobody else, not me, not your grandmother, no one!"

"Oji-chan…" Tears glisten in her eyes. He smiled, but then his face turned serious and he groaned.

"However…convincing your iron willed grandmother is another…" He placed her hand under her chin.

"Where is she?" Takara tiled her head to the right.

"Well, she uh…" He was reluctant to say anything. That wouldn't matter as a voice echoed throughout the building. It was of an elderly woman.

"I'm back!"

"Grandmother!" Takara stood up and opened the sliding doors to the living room. Standing at the foyer was a woman of similar colored hair as her grandfather, gray eyes with rectangle framed glasses in front of them, and a light green kimono with a pink sash and a cherry blossom design and temple on the kimono. Unlike her grandfather this woman did have several wrinkles but they weren't that many or that noticeable unless you really looked. She seemed shocked to know that her granddaughter was back.

"Takara? Did you miss the train?" Said girl shook her head.

"No, I did go to the Digital World but that's why I am back. I have some friends that want to speak to you, if you'll let them," She answered as the elderly woman walked over to her.

"Ah…very well then. Who is it?"

"Uhm…." Takara slid open the door and showed her the Digimon and human inside. Her eyes widen at the large group. A small white Digimon, a bunny, a fairy, a human in armor, another human, a reptile wearing a costume, and a large dinosaur. Her husband was sitting across from them and shook his head, his arms outstretched in an 'I don't know' gesture. Her eyes immediately became cold and unwelcoming, something each of the visitors were able to feel.

"May I ask what's going on?" Takara immediately took her seat as her grandmother asked the question.

"You see my lovely wife; Takara has been given a proposition in her search for her friend. This young….." The grandfather stopped to look at Agunimon, trying to find the words to explain him politely. Agunimon shrugged, he had no clue what to say. "Gentleman, has asked our lovely and privilege granddaughter to join him in an effort to control the Digimon in both world! It's similar to a task force but it has benefits as they can help find Takeshi. Turns out the young lad was also part of this team-"

"And that's precisely the reason he vanished to begin with I'm betting!" The woman snapped, causing both the husband and granddaughter to finish. Neemon, Bokomon, Gabumon and Lillymon were huddled in the nearest corner. Her voice was filled with ice and venom, her gray eyes turned stone colored, an aura of a cold winter made everyone feel chills slither down their backs. Now Agunimon knew why Takara was afraid of her, his own fire almost paled in comparison to the woman's icy aura. Even so, he came all this way, and so far luck has been on his side, he was going to risk it.

"You may be right. The reason he might have vanished was because of his involvement with us, and I take full responsibility for his disappearance. But please, before you make a decision listen to what I have to say," Agunimon did not look her in the eye to retain respect but his words were direct.

"This had better be important…" She replied as she sat down next to her husband who was on edge. His wife was angry, and he knew why. Agunimon nodded and began.

"Alright. This is the story…"

DIGICODEDIGICODEDIGICODEDIGI CODEDIGICODE

Agunimon told her everything. The Cerberumon's assault on Takara and Agumon, her activating Takeshi's D-Analyzer, what the device was, Digivolving Agumon to Greymon, he told her every detail that happened in the past 24 hours, besides the events of this morning. He even talked about Kurogasa and his involvement in this. The story was more simplified than the version the warriors told her but Takara believed it to be enough for her grandmother to get the situation. All that was left was to hope that she would let the brunette join.

"No."

Everyone blanked.

"Grandma-"

"I said no and I mean no," Her eyes closed, not even looking at her guests.

"But Grandma-"

"NO BUTS!" The elderly woman's eyes shot open in anger. The others flinched at the woman's sudden answer but Kurogasa continued.

"We know it's dangerous and we know we are asking you to place your granddaughter in danger but-"

"And you willingly jump into this battlefield?!"

"Yes but we have our Digimon partners to protect us and we can support them!" Kurogasa was trying his damn hardest to explain that they would be okay, but the truth was that this was dangerous. But Agunimon seemed hell-bent on getting Takara on the team. He wouldn't do this without reason, but it was true that lately the warriors weren't telling them the entire situation, so for now Kurogasa would try to help, he trusted them, but the team needed to know what was going on. These suspicions were why the grandmother was constantly denying.

"Honestly, parents will let their children do anything these days, no wonder crime has increased!" She continued to yell out before facing the Warrior of Flame. "I can't believe that they would even allow this! These are children not soldiers!"

"We have no intention of treating them as such. They are our allies and our responsibilities. We know what we ask of them is much but they are the only ones who can do it!" Agunimon couldn't even stress that factor.

"The only ones? What about adults they lived longer and are wiser than children!" The grandmother countered.

"The Digital World is a place made up of data and dreams, the dreams of children and teenagers. While it is possible adults can be partnered with Digimon, Children are stronger and can easily adapt to situations, and they even have special properties that can strengthen Digimon!"

"So instead of soldiers you intend to use them as products?!"

"I can't stress the fact that I had said over and over that yes there will be danger but she won't get hurt!" Agunimon was slowly losing his patience. He normally had good patience, having to deal with the Warriors of Thunder, Wood and Ice when they got together, but he had repeated the phrase five times and the old lady still didn't get it.

"Though you can't deny the fact there are elements even YOU can see!" She still continued to counter.

"Grandma please-"

"Takara I have already gave you my consent to go to that world but I refuse you to join a group of children and trying to kill yourselves! My decision is final!" The old woman had stood up, ready to leave till the grandfather spoke.

"Hazuki, Takara is a good girl, and now she is reaching out for us. And not just her but her new friends also," The gray haired woman turned around to stare at her husband. She could see in his eyes he was willing to let her go. Takara took the opportunity to turn towards her grandmother.

"Grandma, the only time I had ever come to you and grandpa for help was to go to the Digital World to find Takeshi. I maybe overstepping my boundaries now by asking to join them, but I swear I will be okay. This maybe the chance to find Takeshi, and just going at it by myself decreases my chances of finding him," Takara bowed. "Please Grandma! When I was alone Takeshi was the one willing to see past my actions and actually talk to me! He's done so much more than my parents did!" Hazuki's eyes widen. That was true, that young boy actually took the time to know Takara rather than her own parents. "What if Takeshi is now alone, in the same darkness I was!? I know heavy being there feels, I know how much it hurts, and," The girl rose her head, her eyes determined and truthful. "I don't want to see anyone go through that, especially not Takeshi…"

"Please ma'am, I promise to protect Takara!" Agumon spoke up, causing Takara to look at the Digimon. The tiny dinosaur stood up and blocked the woman's way to the door. "Takara saved my life and showed me that there are other reasons to fight besides hurting others for enjoyment. Fighting can be used as a way to protect. She showed me what courage, strength and friendship is! I promise to protect my new friend so, please don't separate her form me!" The yellow Digimon gazed into the eyes of the old woman.

"Agumon…." Takara whispered. Hazuki continued to stare at the Digimon. His eyes were just like Takara's, full of determination. Even so...

"As I said, the answer is no. Takara can't even take care of herself; she's only been discharged for two years." Takara froze at her grandmother's words.

"Discharged? Form what a hospital?" Gabumon asked.

"Well she isn't part of the army so it's the most logical conclusion…" Bokomon replied. The girl began to shake horrendously. Kurogasa, Agunimon and the Grandfather all saw this.

"Hazuki, even so this is something she truly wants to do, why not let her?"

"Kohei, the last time I let a family member go running off I didn't even learn Taka-"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Takara's screams caused everyone to turn to her trembling body, though whether it was out of anger or shock they didn't know.

"Takara, mind your manners!" The older lady said staring straight at the younger female.

"No I won't!" She yelled causing poor Neemon to back against the corner as far as he could. "Do not even mention them. This is about me not them!"

"Takara, I refuse to let you go and harm yourself!"

"I can respect that but you wanna know what? There is NOWHERE, Digital world or our world that is safe!" Takara counted.

"Do not take that tone with me Takara! You are not too old to go over my knee!" Seeing where this was going Kohei moved to the corner with the Digimon now worried about what the egos of the women were going to do next.

"Go ahead and do it! But that won't stop me! You were the one who taught me to treasure my friends, and that hunger and loneliness were the scariest things in this world! And you were the one to teach me that I need to make my own decisions and not have people decide for me!" Takara growled. "And I made my choice. If I can make myself useful in aiding those also looking for him, then dammit I'm doing it!" Takara announced her unwavering vow.

"As long as live in this house by my rules and that means obeying me! And that rule stays as long as your parents pretend you don't even exist!" The stubborn old lady shouted before she realized what she said. It was only until Takara's eyes widen that she realized what she had done. Hazuki's mouth gapped slightly as the words repeated in her head. "Takara...I didn't mean that…" Instead of paying any head of the woman's words, the brunette marched off, the other Digimon and Kurogasa following her. Agunimon stayed behind. He turned to the old man and bowed.

"I'm sorry."

"Meh, happens all the time..." Kohei shrugged. With those words Agunimon left, choosing not to pry into the situation and left. Once he was gone and the sliding doors closed, the older man turned to his wife and sighed. "Hazuki..."

"Oh yes yes I know what you're going to say!"

"I highly doubt that... Did you have to mention them of all people?" He asked with venom in his voice. "Look I know how stubborn you both are but trust her," He reached forward rubbing her upper arm. "Go see what she can do trust me on my feeling...You know they are usually right…" Hazuki looked up at her husband and his goofy expression. A sigh escaped her lips.

DIGICODEDIGICODEDIGICODEDIGI CODEDIGICODE

"GRAAAAAAAAAH! STUBBORN OLD BAT!" Takara scratched her head with both her hands in anger and annoyance. The screams echoed to the sky.

"Is everything alright?" Neemon asked while Bokomon looked at his friend, horrified he would even ask that.

"Everything is NOT alright! Haven't you been listening!?" Bokomon pulled on the red pants. Even so Takara had a smile on her face as she turned around and faced the group including the Warrior of Flame coming outside.

"Ignoring those two guys," Kurogasa started. "Neemon brings up a good point... are you sure you're OK?" Takara had her hands behind her head, breathing in and out hysterically not calming down. Kurogasa sweatdropped at the girl's failing attempt at calming down.

"Nope, clearly you're not."

"For crying out loud! I need to hit something, something is there anything around?! A Digimon, yeah a bad Digimon! I want a bad Digimon to come here so I can beat the crap out of them!" Takara screamed once more.

"Ask and you will receive…" A soft but rather smooth voice called out. The voiced sounded like someone around Takara's age. Even so everyone was on guard and began looking around for the voice. A large flash bomb exploded in the area, forcing everyone to cover their eyes in response.

"Who turned on the lights!?" Neemon yelled.

"I don't know!" Bokomon yelled.

Once the light had passed the group opened their eyes to a rather curious sight. A grey light blue ogre like monster jumped from one of the nearby houses. In his hand was a shard of ice as long and possibly as thick as a club. Takara's eyes lit up at the sight of the Digimon. "Finally I can get a fight! Fun time for me!"

"What the heck...A Hyogamon? What's one of those doing here?!" Gabumon exclaimed.

DIGICODEDIGICODEDIGICODEDIGI CODEDIGICODE

Hyogamon

Level: Champion

Attribute: Virus

Type: Icy

Families: Nightmare Soldiers, Deep Savers

Techniques: Icy Cudgel, Throwing Ice, Snow Barrier

An Icy Snow type Digimon of the Ogremon species that likes cold places. This Digimon has a very strong territory consciousness. He attacks those who enters his territory without mercy.

DIGICODEDIGICODEDIGICODEDIGI CODEDIGICODE

"We're like a world AWAY from his territory!" Agumon commented, while Takara just slammed her right fist into her left hand.

"Who the hell cares?! It's probably here for a fight!" Hyogamon rotated his arm in response.

"You bet girlie!" IN a few seconds he swung his Ice Shard Club onto the ground, rocks and gravel flying everywhere and the nearby windows shattering. Luckily everybody managed to dodge it. Agumon was the first to act.

"Pepper Breath!" Hyogamon saw this and raised his club.

"FOOOORE!" He slammed his club into the fireball, causing the blazing hot ball to hit Gabumon. Gabumon screamed in pain as the fires scorched his fur and stomach.

"Gabumon!" Kurogasa cried out as the reptile Digimon slowly stood back up form the ground. Agumon ran over to him in response.

"I'm sorry Gabumon…"

"Nah it wasn't your fault, it was that big bully!" Gabumon retorted while glaring at the ogre as he laughed, seemingly enjoying the battle. Takara was getting tired o the stupid Digimon's laugh.

"Yo, Kurogasa," As she spoke his name, the Crimson Fractal Code formed around her hand. Kurogasa smirked and nodded, his similar bluish white one appearing. What they didn't see was Hazuki and Kohei running outside to see the commotion, and what they saw was a giant Ice Ogre. Hazuki ran back in, only to come back out shortly with a naginata in hand.

"Wait what are you doing!?" Kohei freaked and grabbed his wife's arms. "The last time you charged at a Digimon I broke my back!"

"I am certainly not waiting for this ugly demon to destroy my house!" She screamed while swinging her naginata wildly. Bokomon and Neemon turned around as Neemon yanked on Agunimon's hand. The warrior of Flames turned around to see the grandmother swinging a stick with a blade on the end, and her husband trying to hold her back.

'This just might work…' Agunimon thought before walking towards them and grabbing the weapon. The elderly woman growled. "Please wait and watch. See for yourself why it is Takara can take care of herself!"

"I agree with him, let's see why Takara is so adamant about this!" Kohei exclaimed as Hazuki began to calm down slightly. Takara and Kurogasa took action.

"LET'S GO EXECUTE! Digivolution Activate!"

DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE

Agumon Digivolve to…Greymon!

Gabumon Digivolve to…Garurumon!

Kohei screamed bloody murder while Hazuki was in utter shock. Greymon and Garurumon glared at the Hyogamon, who only laughed at the two.

"You have to rely on humans to Digivolve?! How low can you go!?"

"The better to fry you with!" Greymon yelled in pure anger as he released intense hot flames ta the Hyogamon, covering the Digimon in red hot fire. Sadly that did little to nothing as Hyogamon jumped out.

"Icy Cudgel!" Hyogamon whacked Greymon in the head incredibly hard, causing the large dinosaur to stumble before falling back onto the fence, completely running it. Even so that was the least of Takara's worries.

"Greymon!" Takara yelled. Garurumon slammed his jaws into the club and managed to shatter the ice shard.

"No matter, I can create a new one!" Hyogamon reached for his shoulder and pulled on the ice shard, managing to pull out a similar sized club as a new ice shard grew on his left shoulder.

"Howling Blaster!" Blue flames shot out of Garurumon's mouth, colliding into the ice shard, but doing little to no damage.

"Is that the best you got?!" Hyogamon taunted. "You're gonna need hotter flames to melt me! Icy Cudgel!" The ice Digimon yelled as he slammed his club into Garurumon's stomach, injuring the already burnt area. Garurumon stumbled but managed to stop before hitting another house. It was amazing that no one in the area was coming outside to see the commotion. Kurogasa gritted his teeth.

'Okay think something hotter than Garurumon or Greymon's attacks. The only thing I can think of is Meramon, but I don't have any DigiMemories of him-' His eyes widen as he turned to Takara, who was trying to help Greymon up but failing. 'That's right, SHE purified one!'

"Greymon, get up!" Takara tried to push him but her tiny body against his failed to do anything. Kurogasa ran towards her.

"Takara! When you purified Meramon yesterday, did anything pop out of the D-Analyzer?!" Takara turned towards the man and gasped. Immediately she placed both her hands into her pockets and pulled out the memory chip form last night.

"You mean this?!"

"Okay listens to me carefully. Do as I say and Hyogamon is history!"

"Start talking!" Takara commanded.

"Hold down the side button of the device and then press the button next to the screen on the right," Takara did as told and the slot that opened yesterday appeared once more. "Place the card into the slot, slide it back in and activate the scanner function!" Once she did everything the Fractal Code appeared and a holographic screen appeared with two choices, Ability or Attack? "Now choose ability and let the magic happen!" Takara clicked on one of the buttons of the device and ability was selected. A Fractal Code was released as a straight beam and landed inside Greymon. The Dinosaur opened his eyes as Meramon's data became one with him. He stood up as flames began to wrap his body.

"Uh what the heck is going on!?" Takara screamed as Hyogamon turned around to see Greymon's blazing body. The Digimon sweatdropped.

"oh crap…"

"THAT'S THE RIGHT REACTION! NOVA BLAST!" Greymon cried out as the fireball not only landed on Hyogamon but also melted hos club and the Ice Shards on his shoulders. He cried out in pain as the flames engulfed him. His Fractal Code popped out of his body.

"So even here it comes out, what a shocker…" Takara sarcastically remarked as she scanned the data. "Fractal Code, DIGITIZE!" However, unlike with Meramon, the data was recorded and produced a similar memory card, leading Takara to question where the first one went, but Hyogamon didn't revert to a DigiEgg. The Digimon rubbed his head as Greymon and Garurumon De-Digivolved.

"Yeowch! That's a skin burn!" Hyogamon yelled as everyone gathered around him.

"Uh…what happened?"

"I should be asking you that!" The ogre replied. Agunimon was able to answer that.

"It seems he was brainwashed." Takara gazed at him.

"Brainwashed?" Agunimon nodded.

"D-Analyzers can only scan the evil data of Digimon, and if that Digimon is inheritably evil then they are restored to a DigiEgg and sent to the Village of Beginnings. However, if they are possessed by evil then the data you scan will only free them from the control."

"So….Hyogamon…was being controlled?"

"Yes. Hyogamon," The Digimon turned towards the warrior. "What is the last thing you recall doing?"

"Me, well uh…I was uh…." A heavy blush was across his face, causing several eyebrows to rise. Seeing as their stares would only continue if he didn't talk he yelled. "I WAS IN KYOTO FOR SOME SIGHT SEEING!" Everyone blanked and spoke this word in unison.

"huh?"

"Mount Fuji, the Geisha's, the Temple of Immortal Water, I wanted to see it all! I admit it I love Japan and I have always wanted to see it! Yes I may have entered here through an unknown portal and can be considered an illegal immigrant but I wanted to see Japan so BADLY! But when I finally arrived I felt a sharp pain in my back and then I blacked out. The next thing I know I'm burning alive!" Hyogamon explained as then images played in his head. Several of the residents of Japan, including Lillymon, sweatdropped.

"Well uh…this place is beautiful, minus the cramped spaces, the pollution-"

"YOU UNDERSTAND ME!" Hyogamon grabbed Lillymon's hands and cried. As the scene continued, Kohei and Hazuki were still shocked, but utterly impressed with their granddaughter's abilities. Especially Hazuki. A small smile graced her lips and she touched her granddaughter's shoulder.

"Grandma?"

"…Perhaps he was right. You are ready to take charge."

"Grandma?" She stuttered. In response she nodded. Takara couldn't have been happier as she embraced the elderly woman, and Kohei embraced both females, laughing joyfully.

"Uh…what just happened?" Hyogamon was undoubtedly confused.

"Nothing, though I do owe you a thank you. Since you managed to be the key necessary to make that girl a chosen! I won't have to separate from Takara!" Agumon yelled happily.

"Ah yes, there will be some rules."

'Oh here they come…' Kohei and Takara groaned as the man let go of both of them.

"Firstly, her education comes first. Not Digimon, not a mission, not even the END OF THE WORLD! School is always first! No exceptions, no excuses!" Hazuki exclaimed, making sure everyone heard her. Takara sighed heavily. "Secondly, if she is sick then she stays at home till she is better, not a second sooner! And thirdly, any and all damaged to my house are to be paid by you!" She finished with a point at Agunimon, who turned around. The fence was shattered, the ground broken, several concrete slabs uplifted, the warrior paled.

"Uh…do you accept checks?"

"Who uses checks nowadays?" Takara asked. Agunimon growled.

"Anything else?"

"If I think of any I'll give you a call," Hazuki said, a smile on her face, but a million emotions could be read behind it. Hyogamon blinked at the human, until the woman turned to him. "As for you, I WILL be expecting FULL COMPENSATION…" Despite her smile, it was easy to see anger, annoyance, and pure cold murder on her face. Her smile alone sent chills down the ice ogre's spine as she walked closer to the Digimon, naginata in hand. The air was tense, as if it could be cut with a knife. It could suffocate everyone…if they didn't run into the house for safety, leaving poor, scorched Hyogamon with the venomous old woman.

Hyogamon's response?

"HOW CAN A HUMAN BE SO SCARY?!"

DIGICODEDIGICODEDIGICODEDIGI CODEDIGICODE

"See ya after school!" Takara exclaimed while wearing a school uniform consisting of a gray unbuttoned blazer, white button up shirt, a red pleated skirt with green and white lines, black knee socks and brown shoes, her trademark twin tails still tied by the red ribbons and rollerblading down the street. It was Monday morning and, despite having the week off of school; Takara was still forced to go to satisfy her grandmother's demands. However, due to the anniversary, the school would be cut short to three days and only going from eight in the morning till noon.

After last night's fiasco, Hazuki allowed the group to stay over the night, though in separate rooms, and Hyogamon was forced to be the family's servant till he could be free from his debt of the damage he caused. While he didn't like the notion of being a slave, he didn't seem to mind as now he could stay in Japan without being illegal. Agunimon allowed it and group made the decision to ret unto Digital World once she was done.

Takara thought back to last night's fight and the card that appeared. What happened to the Meramon card? Why did a new one appear with Hyogamon's name on it? There were still some questions that needed to be answered about the D-Analyzer, and she made a mental note to ask them once she got back.

That is, until a voice echoed through the place.

"That wasn't half bad. You defeated two powerful champion level Digimon. The other Digidestined had trouble their first time. You did to but you flew through the challenge! I'm impressed!" Takara looked around wildly, trying to find the source of the voice.

"Whose there!? Show yourself, or are you to scare?!" She screamed as she glared.

"A spitfire huh? And to top it off your cute…" Takara felt a chill down her spine and turned around. She found herself covered in a black cloak and struggled to get it off. Once she managed to do so, she felt a pair of lips on her right cheek and a hand on her chin. It took the girl a couple seconds to figure out what was happening, but once she did she roundhouse kicked the assailant, only for the person to dodge and be exposed in the sunlight.

Standing in front of her was a young boy, possibly a year older than she was. Gray, messy hair tucked back by a red headband, a black scarf tied around his neck, a red jack with black flame designs on the sleeves, A purple shirt with a large white line across the chest, blue jean pants and pale red and gray sneakers. A bright blush was on the girl's cheek, but it paled in comparison to the fire in the girl's eyes.

"Who the HELL are YOU!?"

"Quite the mouth on you. But if you want to know, it's Riku. Riku Takamine. And I guess for now, your enemy."

"I don't give a DAMN!" She charged forth to punch him but he dodged once more, and continued to dodge her assaults, Punches, kicks, nothing seemed to him. She poured all her strength into her right hook and was aiming to slam him in the face, until he blocked her attempt with his right hand.

"You certainly have a fiery temper. Then again, I guess that's what makes you attractive...Digidestined chosen by Agunimon." At this the girl's brown orbs widen.

"How do know that?"

"Let's just say, I make it my business to be in the know about things. Like for example, I know much about you Takara, and how you joined the group searching for your friend Takeshi." Cue a gasp leaking from the girl's mouth. The boy's amber colored eyes glistened. "I may even know where he is my dear." Takara growled the moment those words were spoken.

"Fuck off pervert!"

"If I'm the pervert doesn't that make you one to for suggesting that? You have to have been thinking the same thing!" The boy could swear he saw steam erupting from the girl's ears, taking that as his cue to leave. He jumped onto a brick fence and stood there in front of the sun. "This won't be our final meeting. Adios, Princess!"

"I DARE YOU TO DO THAT AGAIN! THE NEXT TIME I'LL SEND YOUR HEAD ROLLING!"

"Looking forward to it!" The boy known as Riku cried out as he jumped over a brick fence, leaving the girl flabbergasted as to what occurred. She rubbed her cheek harshly and skated off.

"Well that was unexpected. I don't know who that boy was but the fact he said enemy gives me a bad feeling. Anyway, watch out for the next chapter of ReImage: Digimon world!" – Koji Minamoto

End of Chapter 2

So what did you guys think of this!?

So let's begin with disclaimers. Kurogasa Kururugi belongs to Fennikusumaru, and Riku Takamine belongs to Jackpot 2. I hope I kept these guys in character!

Now as for the D-Analyzer and the cards, more will be explained in the next chapter, for example, the question as to what the card is will be explained! And for the D-Analyzer, go to my DeviantART account and see for yourself the Digivice of the Digidestined! All OC Digidestined are required to look at it and leave behind a comment on what colors you want your Digivces to be! All I ask is that it follows the rules set up by my awesome friend, and that your base color is the color of the warrior you represent.

Now for some bad news. Don't expect an update next week. Its test week as all my professors think they can cram everything in before my Spring Break the following week!

However, if you guys are lucky…EXPECT TWO UPDATES!

Please forgive any and all typos and grammar mistakes I may have missed! XD

Now then, read and review because reviews are the blood of this story and without it this story dies, literally!

OH and I thank Shadow ninja Koopa for heling me out and Jackpot 2 for several of Riku and Takara's lines!
