A dream long forgotten, not even a dream anymore. A strange feeling. At some small points hints of the dream will come to mind but other times it feels like it never happened. Did it really ever happen? It's hard to tell. But sometimes something can jog a memory.

Hiroaki stood staring up at the sky. He watched as his sons, Matt and TK, fought with their digimon partners. It was such a strange thing to watch the fight happen. They were fighting against some digimon called the dark masters. Nancy, his x-wife, stood at his side praying for their sons. It was a rough journey for them, what was probably many days for the kids was passing in just simple minutes for him and the rest of the earth.

Strangely Hiroaki couldn't stop thinking about the sea dragon of the dark masters. He felt like he knew him… Just like he felt like he had known Gabumon, his son's partner. When he had come home from work the other night, after his first encounter with a digimon, he had known what Gabumon's name was. And he hadn't been scared. He still didn't understand that either. He just knew that that sea monster made him angry, more angry than the other three digimon.

"Come on Matt." Hiroaki tightened his fist. "You can do it… I know you kids can. You have to work together!"

Hiroaki watched as the kids meet up with a small pink flying digimon. That digimon also felt familiar. Why? He had never met a digimon before the Myotismon event. Hadn't he? He had never seen a digimon before. But then why did he feel like he had? Especially that MetalSeadramon… and why did he keep wanting to call him MegaSeadramon?

"TK!" Nancy cried out as MetalSeadramon came after the kids and the large whale they were riding with.

"Come on son!" Hiroaki watched angrily. "You can do it!"

Matt and TK didn't take out the Sea monster digimon instead it was the boy… Tai… Who strangely reminded him of someone, but Hiroaki couldn't put his finger on who. He glanced over where a man who looked similar to Tai stood with his wife watching the kids. He felt like he should know him… He should shouldn't he? His name was on the tip of his tongue.

"Look!" Nancy drew his attention back to the sky as Matt and Tai started fighting. "Oh why are they fighting each other?!"

That also felt familiar. But Hiroaki had never fought with his friends, hadn't he? He felt so confused. Why was he so confused? He had dealt with the digimon till now and it hadn't confused him until now.

"WHy is Matt leaving TK?!" Nancy yelled up at the sky.

"KARI!" The woman next to the man who felt familiar cried out. The little girl had fallen sick. Hiroaki looked back at them again. Susumu was gripping… Susumu… How had he known his name? And why did he feel so familiar.

"Matt did it!" Nancy drew his attention back to the sky. Matt and MetalGarurumon had defeated the dark master Puppetmon.

"Way to go son!" Hiroaki grinned. They were going to do it. They had defeated three now… One left… And then it would all be over… They would be able to come home. Their journey continued on and everything seemed mostly fine… until Matt seemed to be wrapped in a darkness. Hiroaki felt Nancy tense next to him, but all he felt was anger. It was as it he knew that darkness… No he didn't know it, he knew where it came from… But he didn't… how could he…

Hiroaki smiled as Gabumon pulled Matt out of darkness. That was what a partner was for, to help you. But no… how would Hiroaki know that. He couldn't… Hiroaki shook his head and watched as the kids each slowly got turned into a keychain. It was horrible, but then TK managed to save them all. And together they defeated the last dark master.

"They did it!" Nancy cried out. "They can come home."

"No… It's not over." Hiroaki whispered. He didn't know how he knew that but he did. He knew there was something else. And a moment later he discovered he was right as the sky went completely dark and a hideous digimon came out. And this one also felt familiar. Rangaromon… That was the name he felt it should have, but instead it called itself Apocalymon. And he was strong…. He was defeating the children.

"Believe in yourself!" Hiroaki called out. He didn't know where this knowledge came from. "You can do it!"

"Come on!" Nancy cried out.

"YOU CAN DO IT TAI! DON'T GIVE UP!" That was Susumu.

Hiroaki watched the screen thinking about Susumu, maybe he should get to know that man. He felt like they could be friends…. He didn't' know why but he was sure he could.

And then it ended and the sky began to turn back to normal as the kids won and the two worlds began to fix themselves. Hiroaki looked up as the last bits of the digital world began to close up and disappear from his sight.

You promised!

Hiroaki froze as a familiar voice seemed to echo in his head and he took a step forward. "Gabumon…" He whispered but his attention was drawn out of his faint fuzzy memory as he noticed the kids returning. He pushed aside the strange feelings and ran towards his sons. He felt like they both needed him, they would feel so sad after saying goodbye to their friends… He felt he could understand that…

A dream…. it must have been nothing more…. Maybe…

Author Notes

So what did you think? I hope you liked this and were able to recognize some of the connections I made to the original series. I'll go over them now in case you didn't.

Each of the original digidestined is related to one of the second generation (digimon adventure) kids

Tai and Kari=Susumu is his dad

Matt and TK= Hiroaki is his dad

Izzzy= Tomoaki is his dad

Sora= Kokoa is her aunt

Joe= Kaito is his uncle

Mimi= Kasumi is her aunt

The introduction of our old friend Leomon, of course this is too early for him to be so strong. So instead he was in his rookie form, Liollmon

Centarusmon is the same who was guarding the ruins of the digivice, he of course will be the one to make the ruins

Ragnaromon is the weaker version of Apoclamon. After many more years behind the firewall he will gain the strength to become Apoclamon.
