Kamiya residence Kari's POV:
I woke up early the next morning to get ready for school I climbed the ladder and shook Kai to wake him up. When he woke up I said, "Get up little bro it's time for your first day of school."
He woke up and said, "I'm up. I'm up."
I said, "I'll go get Tai and Tyler up while you get dressed." I went to Tai and Tyler's room and shook the two them awake. Tyler woke up and said, "Give me 10 more minutes mom."
I sighed and said, "He's definitely Tai's incarnation." Tai woke up and said something similar to Tyler. They finally started to get ready and I went back to my room and saw Kai was already dressed and packed with basic school supplies. Luckily Tai had two old backpacks, one for both Tyler and Kai. I went to get ready for school.
Kai's POV:
Kari came out dressed for school about 10 minutes after she woke up Tai and Tyler. Tai had made breakfast for everyone. Tyler asked, "Hey Tai, Why do you go so far to make breakfast for Kari? I mean I'm pretty sure she can do it herself."
Tai sighed and said, "I'm assuming you know that are parents are always out working?" Tyler nodded. Tai continued, "Well since Kari's my little sister I feel the need to help her as much as I can especially since she takes a while to get ready for she doesn't really need that much help from me, so making her breakfast is the least I can do."
Kari said, "Yeah and he's good at making breakfast and I always appreciate it. The first thing we need to do when we get to the school is go to the Principal's office, so you two can get your schedules."
I asked, "When does school start?"
She answered, "First period starts promptly at 8:45. Principal Ichigo wants us in his office at 8:15, so you two can get your schedules and tell you a few things."
Tyler asked, "A more important question is when does school end."
She answered, "It ends at four o'clock." Tyler thanked her and the four of us finished our breakfast and headed to school.
8:00 Odaiba Middle School Kai's POV:
Kari,Tyler, and I were 15 minutes early, so we headed up to the Principal's office. When we got there Kari went to the receptionist and told her we were here she told us to head in. We entered the office we sat down in the chairs in front of the principal.
said to Kari, "Good Morning, and these are your cousins correct?"
Kari said, "Yes sir."
He asked, "Can you introduce me to them?"
She nodded and said, "The one that looks like my older brother is Tyler and the other one is Kai."
He turned towards Tyler and asked, "Tell me son is it true what I was told about you?"
Tyler replied, "What were you told about me?"
He answered, "I was informed that you have the same skills that your cousin Tai has."
Tyler said with an ego, "You bet, Mr. Ichigo." Mr. Ichigo had an offended look on his face.
Kari elbowed him lightly and whispered, "'Yes sir' is how you address him not 'Mr. Ichigo'."
He whispered back, "How was I suppose to know?"
The principal said to me after recovering from the shock, "Kai, I was told your school grades are equivalent to Kari's grades. Is this true?"
I nodded and said respectively, "Yes, sir that is true. I apologize for my cousins' manners we are from America and there we refer to our teachers and principals by Mr or Ms then their last name."
He replied, "I understand, but make sure it's doesn't happen again. If you are as smart as your sis... I mean cousin then I expect great things from you. Now here are your schedules. Kai you have the same schedule as Kari and Tyler you have the same schedule as Davis he is a friend of your cousins and he will show you around. I informed him of this last night but strangely he isn't here. Miss Kamiya, will you introduce him to Davis when you see him?" Kari nodded and we headed to the tree outside to meet the others.
Some time later:
Everyone had gotten their schedule I had the same schedule as Sky, Lina, and Kari. While Tyler, Tyson, Marcus had the same schedule as Davis. Joseph had his own schedule separate from the others since he was older than all of us. Marcus said, "How fitting that you have 'pretty' much the same schedules as the girls."
Sky elbowed him and said, "Don't be a jerk Marcus."
"I'm not!" he protested hotly, rubbing his arm slightly.
TK said, "Can we talk about this later? We need to get to class."
"Great," Davis muttered under his breath.
Kari heard this and said, "Hey if you want to own a noodle cart you need to know how to manage it."
Davis said blushing, "Stupid show making me embarrass myself."
"Better than it being your own fault; at least you can blame it on someone," Marcus muttered - an action which did not go unnoticed by TK.
TK asked, "Who can he blame it on?"
"Toei animation," Lina supplied, (A/N:We have shattered the fourth wall! Yes, and will continually do so!), still smiling.
"Give it up; you can't freak us out!" Yolei groaned slightly, beginning to grow annoyed with Izzy's hyperactive incarnate.
Lina sighed and said, "True but I can still try."
Kari said, "Enough 4th wall breaking we need to get to class."
"Crud," Davis mumbled, having hoped that they had forgotten in the midst of breaking the fourth wall.
"They aren't going to forget - especially Kari and Kai," Sky said.
"They will one day," Davis promised, eyes narrowed in determination - causing the aforementioned girl to sigh in exasperation.
We all went to class. Sky,Kari, and I went to Algebra, the teacher stopped Sky and I and asked us to introduce ourselves. Once the bell the rang the teacher said, "Everyone we have two new students why don't you two introduce yourselves." Sky went first and said, "I'm Sky Takenouchi."
I went forward and said, "I'm Kai Kamiya."
One of the students asked, "Are you Kari's long lost brother or something?"
I shook my head and said, "No, I'm her cousin. Why do you ask?"
The kid said, "Well you kinda look like her. I mean you have the camera and the hair for it."
Sky was giggling to herself. The teacher said, "Well now that introductions are done you two can take the seats behind Kari." We started the lesson it was about multi-step equations, so I had an easy time with it, but I did get one or two wrong on the worksheet. I knew one thing for sure I had a long way to reach Kari's perfect status. Behind me, Sky was fidgeting slightly in her seat, continuously glancing outside; she was looking forward to the soccer game that Tai, Davis, Ken and Sora had promised her at lunch. After Algebra we had English. The English teacher asked us introduce ourselves and everything went the same after that. English was uneventful. After English we had Lunch.
"I can't wait for the soccer game today," Sky said as we were walking to lunch. Just as we sat down with our lunch our tri-tectors went off. I checked it and it said, "HELP! Mojyamon on the loose."
"Nuts," Sky sighed slightly, but her disappointment was soon overruled by the realisation that we were about to have a battle with a Digimon.
Tyler said, "What help are we? All of our Digimon are in their baby form."
Marcus said, "It doesn't matter; we have a job to do Tyler."
"Marcus is right," Lina agreed - her previously playful mood gone - in a serious tone.
Tyson said, "If Lina's acting serious, then we know something's wrong."
Tyler said, "Okay, lets go then."
Marcus mumbled, "Some leader."
This didn't go unnoticed by Tyler and he turned around and shouted, "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN YOU UNSOCIAL FREAK!"
"It means that you aren't thinking of who could get hurt!" Marcus shot back, temper flaring at the comment about his antisocial tendencies. "People and Digimon alike could be destroyed because we didn't show up to help them!"
Sky stepped in and said, "Break it up you two; we have a job to do!"
"No, Tyler needs to get this!" Marcus spat angrily, eyes narrowed into a glare. "We can't be afraid to do something!"
Sky said, "Kai, you and the others go; we'll meet you there once things have calmed down. Joseph you're in charge and if anything happens to ANYONE you're going get a piece of my mind got it?" Joseph knowing that she wasn't bluffing nodded and went to the computer room.
5 minutes later: Kai's POV
Everyone except Sky, Marcus, and Tyler was waiting in the computer room, all impatient to stop the rogue Mojyamon.
Joseph said, "Let's just go! They won't be ready for a long time."
I said, "But what if we need their help Joseph?"
He snorted slightly, "There's five of us and we all have partners; I think we'll be fine for a while. DIGIPORT OPEN!"
We all woke up and as per usual, I was at the bottom of the dogpile.
I asked to no one imparticular, "Why am I at the bottom; I didn't even open the portal this time?"
Joseph said, "This isn't the time! I can see the rogue digimon ahead! Come on!"
Maya said, "This is a first; I've never seen Joseph take charge like this before."
I said, "I'm having a sense of Deja vu. Wait, its like when Joe took the first step onto the Infinity Mountain."
"Just don't jinx it," Maya smiled slightly. "It's a nice change…"
Joseph said, "Come on, you guys! We need to stop Mojyamon before he hurts anyone."
Digidex
Mojyamon
Champion Beast Type Digimon.
Attacks: Boomerang Bone and Ice Blow
Joseph ordered me, "Kai, can you and Salamon create a distraction for us?"
I glanced at Salamon - who nodded in confirmation - before answering Joseph, "I guess… how big of a distraction are we talking about?"
He answered, "Can you paralyze him for as long as you can - then we'll see what we can do.
"On it," Salamon smiled slightly before running out to meet the angry Digimon. "Puppy Howli-!"
"Ice Blow!" Mojyamon cut her off, forcing her to dodge the freezing wind before she was frozen solid.
I cried, "Salamon!" I tried to run to get her but in the process I heard Mojyamon yell another attack. I couldn't move when - out of nowhere - Joseph ran forward and pushed me out of the way to save me… but...
Sky's POV:
I was still trying to calm the two rivals down, "You two need to cut it out and apologise to one another!"
"It's not-" the two began in unison only to stop and glare at each other. After a minute, Marcus continued, "It's not my fault; he's the one who started it. Why should I apologise to him? All I did was state facts!"
Tyler said, "HOW AM I A BAD LEADER?"
"YOU WANTED TO ABANDON THE DIGITAL WORLD!" Marcus screeched in reply. "YOU WERE TOO SCARED TO FIGHT!"
"BEING SENSIBLE ISN'T THE SAME AS BEING SCARED!"
Marcus said, "YOU DON'T DESERVE THAT CREST OF COURAGE!" He started to reach for his crest but Sky slapped his hand to stop him.
"STOP ACTING LIKE SPOILED BRATS!" she yelled, shocking both rivals into silence, neither of them having seen her so angry in almost a year ever since that accident with Kai.
Sky continued, "Not to mention Marcus, are you forgetting the consequences of not wearing our crests?"
Marcus replied, "No, I just-"
"Need to swallow your pride at times," Sky growled, eyes narrowed into slits. "You've got the Crest of Friendship; maybe you should show that you deserve it. Now we need to go help our friends."
Looking ashamed, Marcus and Tyler both nodded having forgotten that the other five incarnates had gone on ahead of them.
Meanwhile in the Digital World Kai's POV:
I couldn't believe it; although Joseph saved me, he couldn't save himself and was frozen solid. I couldn't believe that he had sacrificed himself to save me. I could feel a tear running down my cheek and I didn't notice it, but my Crest of Light had glowed and my tear hit the frozen form of Joseph and he instantly thawed out. Although I didn't notice it, Maya and Tyson sure did and they weren't going let that be unknown.
At Gennai's house out of POV:
Gennai was looking through the ancient scriptures to find out more about why Kai and his friends are here. He found a passage that read, "Only the chosen child whose tears bring forth the light will thaw through the ice cold heart of the new evil."
Back with the Mojyamon fight Kai's POV:
Joseph was thawed out for some reason.
Joseph asked, "Kai why are you crying?"
I said, "You got frozen because of Mojyamon's attack and you saved me thats all you need to know."
Joseph blinked in surprise, not having expected Kai to be so upset over him being frozen. "Kai, Joseph! Get out of there!" Salamon yelled, eyes narrowing in determination as the two boys scrambled out of range of Mojyamon's attacks. All of the sudden the crest around Joseph's neck started to glow and an area nearby a statue of some sort appeared and the statue went toward Joseph - who recognised the statute as a spirit but didn't know which it was. A gray colored fractal code appeared around his hand and he shouted, "EXECUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION!" He glowed and what only could be described as the Matrix surrounded him and transformed into Hookmon. A large red hat with an Agumon's skull and cross bones covered his head while a red coat-like armour shielded his body. His right hand curved into a long, sharp, golden hook while a silver revolver appeared in his left. Black boots and white trousers covered his lower body and the one eye that wasn't covered by a large eyepatch was grey in color to match his crest.
Narrowing his eyes - or the one that could be seen anyway - the newly evolved Hookmon glared at Mojyamon, "It's is a really bad idea to attack my friends like that!"
Mojyamon simply snorted in reply before hurling his boomerang at Hookmon, "Boomerang Bone!"
Eyeing the incoming bone lazily, Hookmon jumped several feet into the air to avoid the attack only to yelp in surprise as it shot towards him again. Flipping in mid air, he managed to avoid being hit and also managed to kick the bone back at Mojyamon - who was hit in the stomach with it. Readying his revolver, Hookmon's eye narrowed even further, "Super Shooter!"
The several large blasts of fire shot towards Mojyamon, singeing his fur as he attempted to dodge them. Growling, Hookmon readied his revolver and shot another blast at Mojyamon - who leapt out of the way. It was then that he realised the Digimon's plan.
Meanwhile with Sky:
Tyler, Marcus, and I had just arrived we heard a lot of noise coming from south of where we were and we saw a Mojyamon and a Hookmon battling it out. I saw Tyson, Maya, and Kai just staring. I ran up to Maya and asked, "What's going on? Where's Joseph?"
Maya said, "You're looking at him…"
I frowned in confusion before looking at the battle again… and noticing that while most Hookmon's eyes were blue, this particular one's were grey. The same grey as Joseph's crest.
Apparently, Marcus and Tyler had also reached the same conclusion as me. "Joseph Spirit Evolved?" Tyler gasped before crossing his arms and pout childishly, "No fair…"
I rolled my eyes and tapped the back of his head - although not hard enough to hurt him, "If you and Marcus hadn't been fighting, maybe you would have gotten your spirit!"
As he mumbled something incomprehensible under his breath, Hookmon began to grow exasperated with Mojyamon and shot a large blast of fire at him, only for the rogue Digimon to lunge out of the way at the last moment. It was then that we realised Mojyamon's plan; the fireball was coming straight for us.
Everyone quickly scrambled about, trying to avoid the fireball, but I somehow managed to trip. Closing my eyes, I braced myself for the impact and the darkness of death - or at the very least, unconsciousness - but someone grabbed my wrist and yanked me out of the way.
Gasping slightly, I glanced up to see a pair of wide,blue eyes staring down at me, "Marcus…"
As though only just realising how close we were, he backed away, blushing furiously, "S-sorry."
"What for?" confused, I raised an eyebrow. "You...saved me...thank you."
This only caused his blush to deepen as we turned our attention back to the battle. After seeing that we were all safe, Hookmon had resumed his chase and was now shooting at Mojyamon with his less-destructive water bullets, attempting to knock the Digimon down before attacking with fire again.
Eventually, he managed to knock the yeti-like creature down and advanced on him, "Super Shooter!" As soon as the fire made contact with Mojyamon, his fractal code appeared. Pulling out his tri-tector, Hookmon narrowed his one visible eye, "Soul corrupted by evil...the reliable steel will purify you. Fractal code, digitise!"
As Mojyamon's egg floated off, Hookmon fell to one knee, quickly de-digivolving. "Kouji wasn't kidding when he said...it takes a lot out of you," he gasped slightly, struggling to his feet. All of us rushed over to his side and congratulated him on job well done.
Sky said, "I get that there was an attack but how did you get your spirit Joseph?"
He answered, "Long story. In a nutshell I had Kai make a distraction using Salamon puppy growling, it didn't work and Mojyamon almost freezed Salamon and Kai went to save her and almost was frozen himself I pushed him out of the way but I couldn't get away in time and got frozen. Somehow I got unfrozen and then I saw Kai crying and my crest started to glow and then the spirit appeared."
Out of POV:
Sky was speechless. Tyler thought, I really hope we don't have to protect the little baby 24/7. Maya had decided to pull Sky aside to talk to her in private.
She said, "Sky you need to know something about Kai."
Sky said, "What is it? Why are you telling me?"
She just sighed and said, "Although the boys don't notice I sure do. You see Kai as you little brother. The reason Joseph was unfrozen was because of Kai."
Sky asked, "Ok but what do you mean Kai is the reason Joseph got unfrozen?"
She answered, "When Kai was crying his crests glowed and his tear hit Joseph and he instantly thawed out."
Sky thanked her and said, "Maya can you keep it a secret that I see Kai as my little brother. I don't want the others to know." Maya just nodded and the kids headed back to school.
