Homer Yushima's house, London, England

Takuya woke up. He noticed a pair of chains around his wrists, making him wonder what had gone on. DarkTyrannomon had shoved Harry into him and then somehow Takuya had been flying. While he was attacking the dinosaur, his mind seemed to get foggy. He felt strange. When he touched his D-tector he had felt better but that hadn't lasted. All of a sudden, it started cutting off his circulation. He had screamed for a few minutes as the feeling got worse and worse. He couldn't even breathe! He could feel Harry taking away some of the pain but it was as though it wouldn't come out. Right after that he was in Homer's house with these chains around his wrists. All of a sudden, Takuya realize he couldn't breathe as well as usual, breathing as though he was asleep. Right after that, he noticed that he had no control over his breathing. It felt as though a hand was gently squeezing his heart, each breath coming out when the hand wanted it to.

When Homer woke up, he decided to check and make sure everyone was alright. As Takuya was awake, Homer dragged him to another room and pulled out his stethoscope. He checked the boy and then narrowed his eyes. "You should go lay down, your heartbeat is too low. I'm measuring you at 40 bmp."

"I noticed but when I tried to speed my breathing up, I noticed I have no control over it."

"What do you mean?"

"I feel like there's this hand over my heart, setting the rhythm."

"This is quite strange. Perhaps I should take your- Why do you have chains around your neck?"

"I didn't know I had chains around my neck."

With that, Homer dragged Takuya to the doctor's office. They waited while the X-rays were being processed, finally being led back to the office by a worried nurse.

"His bones have some sort of… metal inside them instead of normal marrow. Also, I noticed metal was interfering with the X-ray as well. We'll need to draw blood." The doctor said. Luckily, they had a lab right there and the sample was processed immediately. "No doubt about that, there's flakes of metal coursing through your blood. Also, you have no white blood cells. The EEG we did also came back and your brain activity is that of a sleeping person's. We looked closer at your X-rays and strange filaments were coming from your wrists, ankles, and neck, leading up to the brain centers for each. We would like to." The doctor froze as Takuya's head came up suddenly, looking away from the doctor. The boy seemed possessed, walking in slow measured steps to the door. When he reached the door, he kept trying to walk through it, ignoring the handle. As the doctor reached in and opened it, he noticed the boy's reflection in the mirror. His eyes had rolled back, showing the whites of his eyes.

When Harry woke up, he had heard someone saying "We would like to." Before he heard another word he wondered where he was and wished that he was at Homer's house. His vision was weird; he saw Homer's house and a doctor's office both lined up. The doctor's office began moving and he felt his feet moving toward the door.

It was soon clear where Takuya was heading, he was following the boy down his own neighborhood, down his street, through his open front door.

Takuya listened to the doctor when suddenly he thought that he wanted to go to Homer's house. His arms and legs stopped listening to him and he found himself walking towards the house. The harder he pulled away, the faster he moved until he just gave up. The chains around his arms were pulsing and he guessed the one around his neck was doing the same. He kept walking until he looked at Harry. As he did so, he somehow knew that everything would be alright now that his rider was here. His rider? What did he mean by that? He didn't care what he meant by that he just wondered if his rider needed a mount. He thought that that seemed kinda disturbing when he suddenly thought that it was the way things were. As soon as Takuya questioned something it seemed like his question was completely erased. The chains on his hands started glowing red, forcing him to the ground. As he hit the ground Takuya blacked out, leaving behind a mindless beast, eager to serve its rider.

This time however, Takuya seemed to wake up in a black void. He tried to move but he couldn't. He saw through two windows a boy with chains joined to the hands closest to the windows. Suddenly he understood! He recognized Harry, and the hands by the windows were his. Suddenly his arm moved, his outside arm moving with it. He spoke, "I have returned rider." He knew this sounded weird but only his thoughts were his. His hands, arms, heart, everything including most of his mind itself belonged to something else. He then walked forward, touching his palm to Harry's. At the moment he made contact, he felt something in his brain reach down to join with the other boy. The filament appeared through his skin, sinking into Harry's. More and more came through, others coming out of Harry's hands and joining Takuya's. At one point Takuya was shocked to hear Harry's "voice."

-Takuya?-

-What's happening Harry?-

-We're becoming.-

-becoming what?-

-I don't know, we just are.-

Takuya suddenly saw what had happened between the attack and a few minutes ago. As the last memory fell into place, the boys became one being in two bodies. Takuya felt a huge power coming from his D-tector, joined by an answering feeling from Harry. Steel Digizoid, a metal that binds two hearts together, ran through both bodies. Although they were completely connected, both could control their own bodies, leaving the other alone at any moment. However, now the boy knew he had to save his friends. He touched both his Digilinks and the boy split into a single boy made up of Harry and Takuya, and a beast. Hakuya wrote a message for the rest of the team and then flipped his goggles down. Red chainmail appeared, shrinking until the skin was made of reinforced Chrome and Steel Digizoids. A winged helmet appeared and sank into the skin, leaving the boy with his ears now pointed. His vision sharpened and he was able to see from miles away. He mounted the beast, resting comfortably. Spikes rose from the beast, piercing Hakuya's skin. With each spike, the boy had a firmer control over the beast.

Homer ran in and saw Harry with pointed ears sitting on a strange beast. As he watched, Homer saw spikes pierce every piece of skin, turning into a wall of bone. The beast charged forward, unfurling vast scaled wings. As Homer watched, Harry took off, never once looking back.

Steadily through the night, the strange vapor had grown, surrounding the brain and altering it. Unlike Harry and Takuya, the Steel Digizoid felt no reason for Draco, Joe, and Kari to keep their old minds. A chemical was inserted into each that when activated would put individual thought to sleep, letting the rider do all the thinking. The capacity to learn knowledge was increased and a gland that allowed total recall was added. Any fears that each had were completely eliminated, and the capacity to feel fear was removed. When each person woke up they would not be able to feel fear or even know that they had ever felt fear. They would also be unable to say no to any sporting activity, the need to be the strongest person alive burning through their very cores. Once the brain had been affected, the vapor turned into an acid that shrank the bones and made them lightweight.

Kari yawned and woke up. She instantly felt like she hadn't eaten for weeks and quickly made herself three bowls of cereal, downing each one. In shock, she ran to the bathroom and stood on the scale. It must be broken, she thought. The scale told her that she was only 35 pounds.

"Hey Kari, want to play soccer?" Jokingly, Tai stood behind her, knowing what her answer would be.

"Soccer? YES! I need to play soccer." Kari turned and smiled at her brother, "You know the right thing to say."

"I was just-"Tai began but his sister ran past him and grabbed his soccer ball, heading to the local park. "What's gotten into her?" He wondered, using the bathroom. After he finished, he ran to the park to see Kari kick the ball. Dissatisfied, she walked it back to her original position, kicking it again. This continued until she froze. Tai noticed her eyes become blank as she perked up. She then ran, leaping into the air, soccer ball forgotten. Tai ran back home, looking for Ken and Davis. Davis was there but when he was asked about Ken he shrugged, "He got this funny look on his face and then ran outside."

Hakuya landed outside Hogsmeade, wondering where the strange object was. He rode his beast to a strange storefront and looked inside. The storefront had a mess of color trails all leading toward it. He saw that they all had the looks of forced movement. As he looked, his Valkyrie had appeared, two guys and a girl. Raven was tall and gangly with short black hair, Hawk was a brown haired girl, and Eagle was a white blond boy. Each would fight for Hakuya to their deaths, never wavering. At a silent command, the four walked into the portal, Hakuya astride his beast. They emerged in a dungeon, surrounded by people in chains. With a wave from Hakuya, Eagle, Hawk, and Raven split in three directions and began freeing students. When the students called them by the names Kari, Joe, or Draco, the Valkyrie were unresponsive, their steely eyes never straying from their work.

At last, the students were free and the Valkyrie had returned to their Rider. The purpose they had been chosen for was nearing, the image of the storefront burning in their minds. They walked down the halls, following a dark color trail. When it ended, they stood face to faces with a dark hooded man.

"So, the foolish Digidestined come here do they? I am Randalf, Lord of this place." The being called Randalf said.

"We are here to eliminate you and return these children to their world." Hakuya said. With that, he leapt off the beast and attacked.

Randalf wielded a sword and used it well, quickly gaining the upper hand. However, he was fighting four people and a beast. When he thought he had the upper hand, another would get past his blind spot. Being at close range, Randalf couldn't use his energy spheres, having to resort to footwork. Locked in the battle, the three saw nothing else. When Hakuya's D-link went off, he couldn't hear it. He hit Randalf in the shoulder, dislocating it as Hawk kept his attention. Eagle was clawing the robe, scraping the skin beneath. Raven preferred to dart in and out, leaving lasting hits too quick to counter. At last, the beast leapt in and broke Randalf's neck, killing the being instantly. The Valkyrie ran back and led the students back to the school.

Albus Dumbledore was eating a miserable feast on New Year's Day. Among the missing students, he had been forced to add Hikari Kamiya, Joe Kido, Takuya Kanbara, and Harry Potter when the train had returned without them. As he finished off the last of his food, the Great Hall doors swung open and in stepped Harry Potter and Takuya Kanbara. Both looked uninjured but the people behind them, Draco Malfoy, Joe Kido, and Hikari Kamiya were covered with sword cuts and bruises. Dumbledore let out a gasp of surprise as the rest of the missing filed in, tears of joy on their faces. As soon as they entered, Harry, Takuya, Ken, Draco, and Kari collapsed on the floor.

"What happened?" Dumbledore inquired.

"All of us were captured or lured into a shop by a hooded man. We were put in cells and given barely enough food and water to survive. A few hours ago, Harry appeared, riding a strange beast. He had a funny voice and told Kari, Malfoy, and Joe to free us. He called them by funny names though, let's see. I think they were Raven, Hawk, and Eagle. After we were freed, they went down the hall where the masked guy lived and when they came back, those three had cuts and bruises all over them." Fred answered.

George continued, "Somehow, there was a flash and the beast was gone, Harry and Takuya standing next to each other. We came here and then they collapsed."

A.N. At last, the guy who bound Takuya and Harry is dead. Unfortunately, his master is not. I can finally see where this will lead but it will scar Joe, Kari, and Draco for life. Harry won't have any problems but Takuya will always harbor the beast. At last the school year can move on, enabling me to shift from the DigiMenace to Harry's eventful year. If you want to stop now go ahead but if you want to see the changes this makes on his first year make sure to stick around. When I finish this story, the stuff you missed will be in the first book with the exception of the battle between Quirrell and Harry. As you know, Harry cannot be seen through a mirror but in his anger, Quirrell will break the mirror, revealing the stone. Harry will get to it first, prompting the whole 'wringing Harry's neck' scene. However, like the series, he won't get past Harry, gaining burns. This is not from Lily Potter's love, instead coming from Harry's own body. He will be calmed down by Takuya allowing for Dumbledore to take him to the Hospital Wing. Also, Harry's bed in there will have some strange scorch marks. It may be a few days before the story ends but for those of you who don't want to read the rest, you now don't have to. Thank you for sticking with me for this long and I hope this inspires you to write your own!
