TK: I have a feeling Sora just did that to get TL off the lazy Couch...

Willis: Agreed. Enjoy!

It's been a week since Fray send the children back to their own worlds. The barrier he created have been getting thinner and thinner by the second. He wasn't sure how much longer he could hold out before it completely shattered. By then, he needs to bring the others, especially the life digidestine to his world. Just their presence could make a difference and the world may be able to hold out for a little longer. He wished they got here soon.

"When are they going to arrive?!" Ornatumon exclaimed. The little guy (girl) had been pacing the white floor since day three. Would've left a trail if she was on land.

Unlike Fray who was pretty laidback about their current predicament (Mostly because he was dead tired), Ornatumon on the other hand wasn't. Well, when it comes to her partner's safety, she tends to be a little overprotective. Like they all do.

Fray sigh tiredly as he slumped back on the sofa he created. "It'll take time, Ornatumon," Said Fray, trying to soothe his digipartner's anxiety and anger. "You know how their time aren't the same as our's. For them it might have only been a day." Fray said, trying to reason with her.

Though it didn't dispersed her small speck of anger, it had somewhat calmed her down which was enough for Fray.

Ornatumon's anger now turned to one's of worry as she look at her partner. "But at this rate you'll..." She choked on her words, unable to say it aloud.

Noticing her distress mood, Fray picked her up from the ground and cuddle her like he usually do when she's upset. "I'll be fine, Ornatumon. I believe in them. I know they wouldn't aband-" Before he could finish his words, a bright flash of Light shone radiantly from the opposite side of the sofa and (Woah, that's alot) 29 children appeared.

They all stumbled and fell. As a result, they got tangled to one another. Both Fray and Ornatumon chuckled at the groaning children. "Serves them right for taking so long to come." Said Ornatumon as she hopped out of her partner's arms. "What took you guys so long?" She asked trying to look at the children in an irritated way which she failed cutely.

"Family... world... partner... " Willis groaned. Unfortunately for him, both Kari and Nene used him as a cushion for their fall. "Can you please... off me..." Both girls glanced at the boy. When they realize what or who was the soft cushion under them, they quickly scrambled away from the blond, sending him bullets of apologizes in the process.

Fray stood from his comfortable sofa and made his way towards the tangled children and digimon. Seeing as though they wouldn't be able to free themselves anytime soon, with a wave of his hand, both digimon and their partners float and was forced to sit on a newly made cushion. With the exception of TK (Who had Ornatumon in his arms, when did that happened?), Kari, Willis, Koji and Koichi standing in front of the group with their digimon by their side.

"I'm so glad you made it!" Fray said as he wrapped his arms around the five daze children. "I missed you so much." He added. His voice was so low and soft that he almost seems fragile to the five children.

"Late. But at least you're here now." Ornatumon huffed. Fray smiled down at his digimon. He took her from TK's grasp (Which he seems reluctant) and patted her affectionately.

The warm atmosphere was soon interrupted by another blonde and brunette.

"What are you doing to my brother?" Matt hissed at the silver haired boy.

"Let go of my sister." Tai hissed, joining in with the glaring along with Davis.

Fray blinked a couple of times in confusion before a smile of amusement made its way to his face. Not wanting to anger the famous overprotective older brothers, he released the five kids and began to chuckle. "You're always stuck with the protective siblings." He said in a lopsided smile.

Three kids became confused as to who he was addressing to except for Willis who looked amused and TK who looked a little annoyed and yet grateful at the same time.

"Well someone needs to look after him." Willis added with a smirk.

"I'll never live it down." TK groaned which was followed by a gasped of surprise, as he covered his mouth as though he had said something foul.

"TK?" Kari called her best friend in a worried tone after noticing the sudden colour change on TK's face as soon as those words left his mouth.

"Are you alright?" Patamon ask from atop TK's hat.

TK's mouth moved like a fish who needed air but no voice came out. Noticing his brother's pale face, Matt swiftly stood beside him and cupped his face gently, examining his brother.

"What's wrong?" Matt asked in the softest voice he could muster. Not that difficult considering he's an actual singer. At that moment, Matt forgot all about TK's temporary amnesia and instead his mind was filled with the reason why TK's face suddenly became so distress and pale. "Talk to me little brother." He urge.

After finally escaping his daze, TK noticed the blond in front of him. He jerked away and he immediately felt guilty when the older blond face turns from worried to hurt. He took a hesitant step forward and grasp the older blond hand with a reassuring squeeze.

"I-I'm fine, Matt." He said softly.

Matt's eyes widened at the sound of his name. His face quickly change into that of disbelief. "You remember?" He asked, trying to not get his hopes up but failed.

TK shook his head slowly which made Matt's face fell. "I-I remember who you are but not... you-you?" He said. Unsure how to explain it.

Matt looked confused but he let it go as he embraced his brother. The younger went stiff but didn't shrink away which Matt was grateful for. TK knowing who he was, was enough. Matt then heard TK muttered to himself. "Now I got three big brothers..." He didn't sound annoyed, in fact he sounded pleased. It only increases the questions in Matt's head.

Suddenly a loud screeched can be heard from behind the other digidestined. Everyone tried to look for the source and found that a girl with fiery hair and a boy wearing a tennis visor hat were arguing. Actually, it was the girl shouting at his face while the boy trying to protect himself from the lion-like girl.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" She shouted, clenching her fist that was raised beside his face while grabbing the collar of his shirt. "You're supposed to stay and protect our world!"

" Hey!" The boy shouted back. "There's plenty of kids there to protect our world, even with one more person gone, they can still handle it themselves!" He shouted, trying to defend himself.

As though he had snapped the girl (which apparently he did), she raised her fist higher. "You insufferable little-" She cussed as she went for a punch but was stopped by a goggle-head kid and a boy wearing a red sweater.

"Okay-okay, I know you want to punch the daylight out of him Rika but what's done is done." Goggle-head tried to calm the hothead girl, Rika down.

She still seemed unconvinced so the other boy interjected. "Takato's right, Rika. Look at the scene you're making." He warned, waving at the other stunned digidestined.

Rika glanced around before finally releasing the boy's shirt and growled at him. "If you dragged us down, Kazu Sioda, you will eat my fist. " She warned him before walking beside Henry who had been trying to catch his breath since they got there.

Kazu rubbed his neck frowning at the retreated girl. "Sheesh, I just wanted to help." He whined.

Takato stood beside him and gave him a pat on the shoulder. "You know how she is Kazu, don't take her words seriously. I'm sure she is just worried." He tried to reassure his friend. Sure enough, Kazu nodded and smiled at Takato before turning his attention back to the others digidestined.

When they appeared, (well fell) in the white place, they didn't get the chance to carefully examine their surroundings or the other occupants. So it was natural to find that all the tamers froze in shock. Well, except for Henry since he already met with one of them, again. And he knew what to expect. The others on the other hand wasn't, even if they did know of Henry's story. Action speaks louder than words as they say. Terriermon was the first to brake the silent.

"Whoa, And I thought Henry had gone crazy for a sec there!" He said, loud enough for the others to hear him. Henry glared at the digimon on his shoulder. The rabit-like digimon than swept his forehead like there were actual sweat there. "Fuh, good thing I'm wrong for once." Terriermon then caught something interesting while he was looking at the people before him. "Hey look! Another me! Lopmon is there too! " He pointed towards the Terriermon on Willis left shoulder and Lopmon on his right.

Willis Terriermon arched his eyebrow at his lookalike. "Well excuse me. Hasn't anyone ever told you that pointing at someone is rube," He commented in a dissatisfied tone. "And looky here greeny, even from way over here I can tell that you're the younger one so that means you are the other me." He added.

Henry was taken aback by the other Terriermon's counteract. There hasn't been anyone who could counter back at his Terriermon when he wants to sass at someone. Well, except for Rika and Renamon but they're a different matter. And then something hit Henry as he realize a horrifying truth. "Not another one." He groaned as he covered his face with his palm.

Willis who heard his comment laughed while both of the Terriermon gave their partners incredulous look. On the other hand, the other digidestined listened to their conversation in silent. Though the reason was because the sudden transportation distorted their minds a bit. But that soon changed when a few chuckles surfaced.

After 10 second of laughter and chuckles from some of the children, Tai eventually manage to get his bearing and clapped his hands as loud as he could to get the others attention.

"Sorry to interrupt, but can we please move on. We like to know this new evil that threaten our worlds." Tai stated after pulling his sister to his side.

Fray looked dissapointed at the sudden lost of the girl but he soon shrugged it off. "My apologies. I welcome you to the Mind of Miracle. My name is Fray and my partner here is Ornatumon." He said giving a slight bow to his guest. He then looked at the others. "How about an introduction first since we are going to become future comrades and friends afterall. "

Tai gave a thoughtful look before nodding in agreement. The adventure kids start off first with the introduction, followed by tamers, frontier and lastly Xros. There were some excited fangirling coming from the tamer's side but it was lost to the other digidestined as to why, so they just brushed it off as normal.

"Alright, now that's gone over and done with, let's get to the questions. We don't have much time so we better be quick about it. Throw em at me." As soon as he said that, multiple voices numbered him with questions. One after another, their voice got louder and louder as they tried to dominate one another. Fray knew that it was his fault but the impact was as strong as a sonic attack. He covered his ears and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"ONE AT A TIME!"

At the sudden outburst, all the digidestined clenched their jaws in a tight line. Well, except for Willis who was chuckling beside him. He didn't even attempt to hide it.

"Now, I know you are confused and every other emotions are leaking out when you know the world is ending, But! I can't answer either of your questions if I can't even understand a single freaking thing!" He declared. "So how about you guys ask me one at a time?"

Matt stride towards Fray and grabbed the poor boy's cooler shirt and gave him a glare. "What happened to my little brother?" He hissed under his breath.

Tai, Willis and maybe some others were about to break the two apart but Fray raised his hand to halt their advances. They obeyed and watched the two boys anxiously.

"I understand that you are worried. But by choking me to death won't get you answers." He said calmly. Matt narrowed his eyes dangerously. He released the grip and walked beside the anxious TK as he glared at the silver boy.

"Unfortunately, the darkness attacked before they could get to me." He said in a guilty tone.

There were suprise gasps and confused mutters among the digidestined but soon Tai, Taiki and Takuya went to silent them. But the oldest stepped forward and ask. "They? Who else? " His voice didn't waver but his eyes were filled with concerned.

"Those who met me the last time. Henry, Taiki and TK." He informed, glancing at the three boys.

"So it's not a blunder?" Henry ask, walking a bit forward towards Fray and TK.

"Unfortunately no. I did a double check on what went wrong but found no miscalculation. And than I felt a hint of darkness swirlling around. It seems like that's what made you have a killer headache and your body suddenly went paralyzed but-" He turned to look at TK with guilt. "TK took the most harm from the attack." His eyes fell, feeling like his shoelace was the most interesting thing in the world.

"Why?" Someone muttered quietly. "Why does it have to be TK?!" Matt exclaimed, the fire of anger could be seen shrouding his blue eyes.

TK was taken aback by his brother's anger but Fray on the other hand didn't falter in the least. He kept looking at Matt as though he wants to apologize but also with pity. why?

"That's because TK is Hope. One of the pillar of Origin. Their intention was originally to wipe his whole memory clean and leave only the negative ones behind, but his Hope was able to prevent that and he only lost a few memories instead. And unfortunately, most of them are his important people. " He explained in the softest voice he could muster.

TK felt his heart drop. Does that mean, Matt is important to him and yet he couldn't remember a single thing except for the fact that he was his brother? He turned to look at Kari, than Cody followed by Davis and finally Izzy. These are the people he forgot, he wondered what connection did they share.

"Those pillars you mentioned..." Izzy spoke up. " Is it Light, hope, miracle, destiny and sentiment?" He asked.

Fray's eyes bolt from the blue at Izzy's question. "How did...?" He muttered but didn't answer Izzy's question.

Just by the silver boy's reaction, Izzy knew that he was in the right track. "I take the lose for word as a yes. And to answer your question, I knew it from the prophecy TK recited. But what bugged me the most is that does this have anything to do with our current situation and what does the original 5 legend have a part in all this?" When he was done talking, there were a couple of gasped and confused muttered once again but his whole focus was on the confused silver boy.

Fray took a deep breath. Prophecy. Yeah, he should have expected that. But Legends of the 5 original digidestined? How did they know? He was panicking, and he doesn't like to panic.

"H-how did you know about the original five?" Fray asked, trying to suppress the quiver in his voice.

Izzy was take aback by Fray's sudden behavior but he answered nonetheless. "From Gennai. He found an ancient text that mention the six chosen children also known as the original and first generation of the digidestined."

"There's a documentary about us?" He whispered, genuinely surprised by the information.

"Us?" Ken intervene but his volume was as soft as a whisper. "What do you mean by us?." Shock and curiosity evident in his black eyes.

Fray's eyes narrowed suspiciously but he soon shrugged it off and his usual expression surface. "That's not important right now. Can you please recite the prophecy so that everyone can hear it too." He turned to Willis.

Izzy was about to ask why he had asked Willis to recite it but then he remembered that Willis was the one who saw the prophecy and TK was the one who convey it.

Willis's chest and forehead began to glow a brilliant gold. This alarmed the others but in awe kind of way. When he began to speak, his voice was as soothing as the waves but as ancient as the sea. Everyone were silent as they focused their attention at the words he said. After he was done, unease filled the air which made the digimons anxious and nervous.

"What the heck just happened?" Henry Terriermon ask, looking quite speechless.

"No idea." Gomamon answered back.

"OK... that was kinda creepy." Gatomon added.

"So? Any idea what that means?" Matt ask glaring at their host.

"I think it's pretty clear what it means..." Fray said which was not the answer to which Matt wanted to hear.

"Are you saying that I have to wait and see my brother get caged up?!" Matt scowled which made most of those around him took a step back.

"Matt calm down, we don't want a fight to start right now." Tai hold his best friend back. It wasn't going to help anyone if a fight broke up among themselves.

Matt glared at his friend, he was about to yell at his face but then remembered Kari and light. She was also mentioned in the prophecy. His arms went slack and he relaxed his posture. After confirming that Matt was truly calm, Tai released him.

"Is there any way to prevent this?" Mimi asked, trying very hard not to panic as she gripped on Izzy's sleeve.

Fray turned to look at her but the one who answered wasn't him, instead it was Willis. "Yes there is. I'm sure TK already informed you that the prophecy is an irregular one. That means it is quite flexible and can be conquered." He explained.

The anxious atmosphere began to dissipate at his words but the tension still hadn't left them.

"Then what is this evil darkness you keep bringing up?" Takuya asked with both hands behind his head to make him look like he wasn't worried at all. But in truth, he felt the opposite. He just felt as though he had a duty not to show any anxiousness. He had always been the optimistic one, and he intends to stick to it. For his friends.

"It's a powerful entity known as Evil. It's a type of virus created by the negative emotions and thoughts that emitted from the humans and the internet. At the beginning, it wasn't born with a vessel so it tried to find one and finally he found the perfect vessel..." He trailed off remembering that painful day where everything even his miracle couldn't hope to save.

"Could this vessel be the one in the text?" Izzy interjected.

At first Fray's eyes narrowed dangerously which sent shivers down the digidestined spine but a few seconds later he shrugged it off. "Anyway, the virus... corrupted one of them," He continued. Obviously not giving a straight answer. "He began to take Hope, than Destiny, followed by Sentiment and lastly Light. Miracle is the only one left. With the others gone, Miracle wasn't able to maintain the digital world's balance. As strong as miracle is, it also has a limit. He could only last for so long," His eyes cast down in sadness. "Then recently darkness went for Life. The only crest that is independent of its own power. Life hasn't fallen yet, but with the way the digital world is withering, it won't be long." He said as his tale came to an end.

Suddenly a laugh fell upon the Miracle's world. TK shivered in fear and he could see that the other digidestined had the same reaction as he did. He turned his head from left to right to find the source but it was futile. Soon the laugh just got louder and stronger. Mimi and some other digidestined fell to their knees in fear.

Fear. Anger. confusion. despair. And darkness. That's what the laugh contains and convey. It was wicked and evil to the core.

In that very moment, TK knew that this was the enemy they will be forced to fight. An overwhelming enemy in the face of the digidestined. TK shook his head. No, he can't give up now. He can't give up hope. He looked around and saw that one by one his friends and future friends are falling to their knees like flies. He needed to be strong. To protect his friends.

Soon with that thought in mind, he began to faintly glow. He felt warmth enveloping his very being and that was when he knew what he had to do with the warmth. He concentrated the warmth in the center of his body and released it all in one go. He felt faintly tried but when he raised his head, he was met with several of awe expressions from everyone in the vicinity. Even Willis and Fray. But soon, Fray snapped out of his daze and walked forward between the digidestined and the...black cracks?

Tai and the others felt renewed energy when TK's light shrouded them with unknown warmth. They stood slowly and quietly, trying not to agitate the entity behind the crack in the sky.

"My, how nice of you to bring me my prize Signum," The voice chuckled which sent shivers down TK's spine. "I always knew that you will come along eventually. Fighting alone for centuries must be lonely right?" TK noticed the slight concern in the beings tone but it was only for an instant before it turned to that eerie voice once again.

Ornatumon stepped in, giving the cracks a fearsome glare. "He is not alone!" She scowled.

Suddenly, two abnormally red eyes opened from inside the cracks as it stared down at them. No, not us, more specifically, at the digimon that had just yelled at him.

"Ah, you still live Ornatumon." It stated in a monotonous tone.

Ornatumon growled like a wolf (Unexpected with such a cute face) and was ready to fight but Fray stopped her from doing anything reckless. "I will not let you touch them!" Fray sneered, spitting venom at the entity.

The eyes seemed amused at Fray's warning. He soon laughed at his futile attempt which shook the whole place like an earthquake. "You don't have a matter of choice in this child." He said calmly. Soon, black smoke-like tentacles slither its way towards the children.

Fray with a determined look, glowed a beautiful silver with a mix of yellow. He thrust his hand towards the tentacles and a huge silver shield of light with a dinosaur like footprint symbol on it appeared. It manage to hold the darkness at bay but as time pass by, cracks would appear.

The digidestined were shocked by the sudden confrontation but they soon snapped to reality and raised their digivices ready to fight. Except for the frontier group who seemed rather lost on what to do. The children were about to send their powers to their partners but were interrupted by Fray's shout.

"We can't do anything to him yet, he's too powerful!" Leaving the shield behind to shield them, he rushed towards them with an alarming look. "I didn't know they would find us this early but there's not much choice now." He sighed before he began to glow once again, clenching a different type of digivice between his palms.

Willis, knowing something was wrong (other than the scary red eyes) began to shout his concerns. "Fray! What are you doing?!" That got Fray's attention and their eyes met. As though a silent conversation went between the two, Willis began to gasped. "No! Don't do it!" He shouted, running with all his might towards Fray, but it was too late.

Several lights began to shot out of the boy and they appeared in front of all the digidestined. At first they were alarmed at the light, but as though an unknown force was pulling them in, they reached for they respective light.

When skin met with the light, everything began to glowed brightly. TK could hear the withering noises that the tentacles and the red eyes made but his attention was soon focused on the different symbols each children possessed. The original adventure kids had their crest appeared on their forehead and chest, including himself, Willis, Ken, and Kari. The second generation kids also had the crest symbol, but they glowed in their eyes. Each with two different crest. Apparently, Kazu had the same effect but with only one symbol on his right eye. TK couldn't make out the symbol though. The Tamers along with the Frontier groups had the same weird symbol on their hands which didn't look like a crest to TK. Instead it looks like the symbol of natures. And lastly with a glanced to the side, TK saw that the Xros group had a flag above their heads with his and some others' crest on it. TK would like to further examine the flag but the sudden lost of foothold under him startled the living daylight out of him. Fortunately, the time he spent to look at the other digidestined, his brother Matt caught up with him and both he and TK fell together into white oblivion.

Tai: The story is slow...

Matt: And there's no action...

TL: Fine, my first action will be to kill you two off first...

Tai, Matt: *Sweatdrop* You're kidding...

TL : *smirk* Nope, I'm going to torture you...

Fray: *smack* Stop scaring them idiot, it's funner to see them suffer and squirm...

Tk: *facepalm* You're putting salt into the wound Fray... Ah, they ran...

TL: And that my friends is how we stop them from complaining... Anyway, I know the story is moving slowly, but I need to get it out of my mind before it escalate. Well, with the characters falling to oblivion, I'm sure the story will finally move on a faster rate...

Fray, Ornatumon: Thanks for reading!

TL: Leave a review, follow or favorite while you're at it!
