Hey everyone, I'm sure you must be wondering, how is my fan fiction Digimon Union a continuous from Hunters since in the anime all of the Digidestined come from different worlds, while in the fic, they are from the same world? Well, that's where this fan fiction comes in.

I'll start with how did all of the Destined, Tamers, Warriors, and Data Squad first know the Old Clock Shop Man and when they got sent to the Xros Heart United place. But this fic will be based on the 5 Heroes, how they first met, and how did they get along during their fights.

"..talking.."

I do not own Digimon.

The Heroes of the Digital World

Chapter 4: The Gathering, Destined 1 & 2

When they exit the portal, Clock and Clockmon left to find the group of people that have interacted with Digimons before. Marcus, Takuya, and Takato's digivice suddenly gives off a beeping sound. They take it out and found a blue digivice signal moving in top speed, meaning whoever that has that digivice is in a hurry.

"Do you think the owner of this digivice is 1 of the remaining 2 Clock said we have to train with?" asked Takato.

"Only 1 way to find out." Marcus starts to run off towards the signal, followed by Takato and Takuya.

After running for a few minutes, they lost the blue digivice signal but not only that, they notice that only a yellow and purple digivice signal is visible on the screen.

"Hey, where's Takato?" asked Takuya.

Both Marcus and Takuya immediately turn around and start looking for the orange signal that indicates Takato's digivice. After walking for a few minutes, they not only found the orange signal but they can also hear Takato talking to someone.

When they went closer towards Takato, both of them are shocked to see that the goggle-headed Tamer is talking to a small blue creature with 2 hands, 2 legs and a tail, white fur on its belly and mouth, two conical fleshy appendages attached to the back of its head, possibly acting as ears, and its eyes are red in color.

"Is that a Digimon Takato is talking to?" asked Takuya, still in shock with Marcus nodding his head slowly. "I think so."

Both of them start to walk towards Takato and the blue Digimon when the Tamer takes out his D-Power and smiles before looking at both of them. "Hey guys."

The blue Digimon however, starts to panic a bit, scampering up Takato's shoulder and hides insides Takato's hood, where the Digimon is surprisingly invincible. The blue Digimon slowly pokes its head out and both Marcus and Takuya notice that its blue fur matches Takato's blue hood.

"Takato, are they the 2 you were telling me about?" asked the blue Digimon.

"Yeah DemiVeemon," said Takato, "you can come out of there now."

The Digimon name DemiVeemon slowly climbs out of the hood and sits on Takato's lap. Both Marcus and Takuya decided to sit on the bench with them.

"So DemiVeemon," said Marcus, "what are you doing here?"

"You guys remember the blue digivice signal we were chasing after?" Takato continues after he received a nod from both Takuya and Marcus. "Well that signal belongs to DemiVeemon's partner, a boy name Daisuke Motomiya."

"Daisuke overshlept again and we were supposed to meet up with 5 other Digidestined at the park today to talk about the Armageddemon incident that happensh 2 days ago." DemiVeemon said, moving towards Marcus' lap. "But Daisuke ran so fast that when he made a right turn to thish pathway, I ended up getting flown off of his head and landed in the bushesh over there." DemiVeemon pointed towards some bushes not too far away from where they are, after he had taken refuge on Takuya's head.

"I see, so that's why the signal was moving so fast." Takuya then looks at DemiVeemon. "Hey little guy, don't mess my goggles up ok?"

"I won't." DemiVeemon said with an innocent smile on his face. "I'm already used to not disturbing someone's gogglesh when I'm on that someone's head."

"Do you always speak with a slight lisp?" asked Marcus as he, Takato and Takuya are now about to find Daisuke, and hopefully the other Digidestined, together with Clock and Clockmon.

"Yesh I do."

/

Meanwhile, Daisuke along with Takeru, Patamon, Hikari, Gatomon, Iori, Upamon, Miyako, Poromon, Ken and Minomon are sitting at the park, listening to what Clock and Clockmon told them about needing their help and why Daisuke have to follow him.

"We would really like to help," Daisuke starts to get back on his feet, "but I can't do anything unless I find DemiVeemon first."

"Don't worry he's right here with us."

The 6 humans and 5 Digimons look at the direction the voice came from to see Takato, Takuya and Marcus walking up to them with DemiVeemon still on Takuya's head.

"There you are, DemiVeemon!" Daisuke runs up to them and grabs DemiVeemon off of Takuya's head. "Where were you, little guy?"

"I fell off of your head when you run too fasht earlier!"

"Haha, sorry about that." Daisuke looks at the 3 and says, "So you guys must be Takato, Marcus and Takuya huh? Clock told me that you guys are going to be with me for some special training after we pick up Taichi and the other seniors in the past."

"Taichi? So that's the name of the last person we have to get." Marcus said but then he notice that Takato is in deep thought after hearing Taichi's name, same as Takuya since he first saw Daisuke.

"Uh, Daisuke?" Daisuke looks at Takuya, wondering what is he going too asked. "Have we met before? You seem familiar."

"I don't think so. Clock said you guys come from different worlds, but you do seem familiar Takuya."

"Oh yeah, I just remembered." Takato looks at the other 5 Destined. "Which one of you is Ken?"

"That would be me." Ken gets up and walks up to Takato. "Do you want to tell me something?"

"Yeah," Takato looks at Ken before saying, "There's a Tamer on the other side of the portal that is waiting for you. I don't know why though."

"What's his name?" asked Iori.

"His name is Ryo."

After he mentioned Ryo's name, DemiVeemon, Ken, Hikari, Takeru, Minomon, Patamon, and Gatomon have a surprised expression on their faces.

"Ryo? As in Ryo Akiyama?"

"Wait, you guys know him?" asked Takuya in shocked.

"Yeah we do." Takeru said. "But we all thought he was dead after his battle against Moon-Millenniumon 3 years ago." (AN: Remember, the event between Season 1 and Season 2 is 3 years apart with Diaboromon's Revenge happening the following year, and Our War Game with Tag Tamers and D-1 Tamers happening a year after season 1.)

"Wait a second," Daisuke said, causing everyone to look at him. "I think I remember meeting him before." This causes everyone to gasp in shock and wonders when that happened.

"If I remember correctly, I met Ryo one day and DemiVeemon was excited to see him," Daisuke looks up at his partner that is now on his head. "And you mentioned that he was your first partner and I got a bit jealous." This causes the blue Digimon to lightly giggle.

Clock walks up to all of them and opens up the portals. "It's a good thing that all of you are getting along well, but we don't have much time to spare."

"Right, we almost forgot."

DemiVeemon jumps off of Daisuke's head and landed in Ken's arms, just as Ken and the others are about to enter the portal. Daisuke lightly sigh and heads to the other portal to get the seniors of the Destined at their strongest."

/ (Time rewind: August 2000)

It has been a year since the Digidestined defeat Apocalymon and 2 days since Diaboromon is defeated by Omnimon, Mimi has return from her vacation in Hawaii, Sora has forgiven Taichi, and Joe has finish taking his tests.

The Destined, minus Takeru since he's not living in Odaiba, and Hikari since she's playing with a kid name Daisuke that she just met, are talking about the Diaboromon event at the park.

"Wow, so that's what happen when I was taking my exam 2 days ago." Joe said with Koushiro, Yamato, and Taichi nodding their heads.

"Then that means the thing I saw flying above Hawaii was a missile!" said Mimi.

"I wish I have forgiven you sooner Taichi," Sora said, "then I would be of some help during the fight."

"It's alright Sora," Taichi said, trying to comfort Sora.

"But I'm a bit jealous of you guys." Everyone looks at Joe, confused. "I mean, you guys get to see your Digimons again after what happen last year."

"Actually," Koushiro said, "I'm a bit jealous of Taichi and Yamato since both of them gets to be side-by-side with their partners again."

"Don't worry guys," Yamato said to the other 4, "I'm sure you'll have your chance to be with them again."

"And you guys WILL have that chance now, if you agree to come with us."

All 6 of them immediately jump onto their feet when they heard another voice not too far away from them. Taichi immediate recognize the voice, the voice sounded deeper but the tone was unmistakable. "Daisuke?"

And it was Daisuke, a significantly older version of Daisuke who was wearing a pair of goggles that looked eerily similar to Taichi's own. Standing next to Daisuke was Marcus, Takato, Takuya, and Clock. Clock walks up to the 6 Destined in front of him.

"Taichi Yagami, I presume?"

"Yes," Taichi said, still in shocked like the other 5.

"Do you all miss your Digimon?"

All 6 of them tensed at once. "We don't know what you're talking about."

"Guys," Daisuke walks up to stand next to Clock, "you don't have to hide the fact about Digimon from Clock here."

After telling the 6 what's going on, they are surprised about the existence of other worlds. Finally, Taichi spoke.

"The Digiworld opens again?"

"Yeah, and you guys get to see your partners again," Daisuke said, smiling.

All 6 of them smiled. "In two years, huh?"

"Or sooner, if you all agree to help Clock in a battle that is happening in his world soon." Marcus said to the 6.

After a moment of silence, the 6 Destined nodded their heads agreeing. Clock opens 2 portals with his Xros Loader, confusing Marcus, Takuya, Takato, and Daisuke.

"Why do you have to open 2 portals since we've gathered everyone you needed to help you?" asked Takato.

"Both of these portals will lead to the world I came from, but 1 will lead to where everyone else is at while the other will lead to where the starting point of the special training."

Taichi watch as the other 5 headed to the other portal than the one he has to take before following Daisuke, Takato, Takuya, Marcus, and Clock.

/ (At DigiQuartz,)

The portal opens up and the goggle-heads and Marcus just look around their surroundings. Clock managed to get their attention and starts to explain what's going on.

"In this world, there is a Digimon name Quartzmon that creates this place we're in called DigiQuartz which is basically a digital version of the Human World. Here, Digimons can be easily wondering around the place and causes chaos in the Human World."

"But there are people that are stopping the chaos, right?" asked Takuya with Clock nodded his head.

"The people that are involved are called Hunters."

"Hunters?" asked Taichi. "As in, they hunt down the Digimons?"

"That's correct," said Clock, "but the Hunters need to have a partner Digimon in order to hunt the rampaging Digimons."

"What happen to the Digimons they hunt?" asked Takato.

"The Hunters gets to keep the Digimons they hunt to make their team stronger so they can easily stop a stronger rampaging Digimon. But don't worry; the Digimons can be healed once they are inside the Xros Loader." Takato sigh in relief after hearing that.

"So it's basically a win-win situation."

Clockmon suddenly appears and surrounds Taichi, Daisuke, Takato, and Marcus in orbs and the orbs starts to take the 4 of them in 4 different directions.

"HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON?"

"Those orbs will take you to where your partners are located." Clockmon said to the 4 of them when the orbs start to move.

"But what about Takuya?" asked Daisuke in wonder.

"And why do we have to be separated anyway?" Takuya asked Clock who replied, "You 5 are still complete strangers to each other, so you don't know each other's style of fighting Digimons. We even block your digivice signal from each other so you couldn't find each other easily."

"WHAT?"

"Then how can we find each other?" asked Taichi.

"Follow the digivice signal to where everyone else with the same signal as your own and you will meet up with each other sooner or later." After Clockmon said that, the 4 orbs are now far away from view. Clockmon gives Takuya a small box; the same one Clock said contains the Spirits of Flame, Earth and Wood, just when Clock and Clockmon suddenly disappears, leaving Takuya all alone in the middle of a forest somewhere in DigiQuartz.
