Return to the Digital World
I don't own Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh
"Okay Dai, I'm ready." Joey chirped as he walked into his sister's bedroom to see her on her knees in front of her closet holding an old photo in her hands, he walked over quietly and saw the picture. "Your friends, right?"
"Yes." She answered in a whisper. "It's been so long since I've seen any of them, the only ones I've talked to have been Willis and Ken, but that was before Duelist Kingdom."
"Well maybe you could invite them over, they could meet all our friends and learn about what we've been up to. I bet they'd be proud of how far you got in the Duelist Kingdom Tournament." He told her with a smile, she looked into his eyes and slowly returned the smile.
"Maybe." She whispered standing up and she set the photo down on her bedside table. "But first I need to go to the Digital World again, it's time I did so. But first I'm taking you to Yugi's so he can look after you for a few hours."
Her brother nodded and soon after a short bike ride, the duo were outside Yugi and his grandfather's game shop and saw Solomon sweeping the path outside while grumbling to himself. "Mr Muto, good afternoon." Daisuke greeted with a bow and Joey mimicked the bow.
"Ah Daisuke, so good to know that you still come around." He said making them share a look.
"Why would you say that gramps?" Joey asked. "This is the best game shop in town." This only caused the old man to sweep harder while grumbling.
"That's what I always thought, but then that showed up." He said pointing and they turned to see he was pointing at a large building that could be seen in the distance over the houses in the neighbourhood. "A brand-new game shop, they have all the latest games and technology. But they don't have any respect for tradition."
"Whoa a new game shop, maybe I should check it out." Joey said earning a glare from Solomon.
"Don't you dare!" he barked making the kid yelp and jump into his sister's arms in fright, Daisuke sighed and set her brother down.
"I'm sure it's not that bad Mr Muto, who knows you might be able to strike up a partnership with them or something." She reasoned before the game shop door opened and she saw Yugi walking out. "Ah, there you are Yug. I brought Joey like I said at school," she told him.
"Right." Yugi said with a smile before he gave his friend a concerned look. "Are you sure you're up for taking Kaiba and Mokuba today, you don't have to."
"I have to do this Yug, for myself not just to show the Kaiba brothers around." She replied softly and her brother, friend and Solomon shared a look for a moment.
"Just promise to be ok sis, I don't want you to get hurt." Joey said hugging her legs and she smiled ruffling his hair.
"Don't worry, I'll be ok. Now behave for Yugi and stay out of trouble." She told him and he nodded, she smiled and waved to her friend and his grandfather before riding off on her bike back to her apartment.
"Your sister will be fine young Joey," Solomon assured the boy who nodded.
"I know, I just worry about her. When she lost Veemon…she wasn't the same for a while." He whispered and Yugi and his grandfather were silent for a moment before Yugi placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Why don't we work on your deck, maybe even do a few duels to see if you've gotten any better." He suggested bringing a smile to the boy who followed Yugi back into the game shop while Solomon continued to sweep.
Meanwhile, Daisuke was in her apartment pacing back and forth nervously as she waited for the Kaiba brothers and White Veemon to arrive so she could take them all to the Digital World. In her hand she held her D-3 gently while on the kitchen table was her laptop with the Digi-Port program she and the others all had on their computer opened.
"Hello, Daisuke?" a voice called knocking on the door and she jumped slightly before walking to the door and opening it and she smiled at the sight of Mokuba and Kaiba with White Veemon standing beside Kaiba's leg wearing a large baggy hooded jumper and she softly giggled into her hand.
"Is something wrong?" the Digimon questioned raising an eyebrow and she shook her head.
"No. it's just you wearing that reminds me of my partner when he used to disguise himself wearing baggy clothes like that, oddly it always worked on people." She explained with a fond smile, she then let the three walk into her apartment before she shut the door.
"Alright we're here. So how are we going to get to the Digital World?" Kaiba asked, putting his hands in his pockets.
"The Digi Port on my laptop, Izzy found a way to install one on all of our computers in case we ever needed to get there and couldn't make it to the Computer Lab at school," she answered walking over to her laptop on the table. "Be sure to hold onto me." She instructed and the three nodded.
"Ready when you are Daisuke." Mokuba said as he took Daisuke's hand while White Veemon held Mokuba's hand and Kaiba held her shoulder gently.
"Good." She whispered. She held up her D-3 to the laptop hesitantly. "Digi-Port open…please." She said and everyone was silent for a moment, then the computer let out a long whine as the entire screen began glowing bathing the apartment in light before the three humans and Digimon were sucked into the computer.
Daisuke opened her eyes and she smiled as she found herself standing in a familiar area. "I'm back, it's the Digital World." She said turning to look at Kaiba, Mokuba and White Veemon who had lost the hooded jumper.
The three looked at Daisuke and saw that her clothing had changed, she now was wearing orange and white sneakers with dark blue socks, khaki cargo capri shorts, a white tank top, a dark blue jacket with red and yellow flames and a white lined fur collar. She also wore yellow gloves and around her neck was her Duel Card locket.
"What's with the new outfit?" Kaiba asked her.
"Oh, it's just something myself and the other DigiDestined in my team went through whenever we came to the Digital World, I never understood it myself." Daisuke answered looking at her outfit with a smile.
"So this is the Digital World?" Mokuba asked looking at all the trees lining the clearing they stood in. "It's pretty."
"Indeed, it's been a while since I've been here." White Veemon said with a gentle smile as memories of when he was younger came to him. "We should be close to Primary Village."
"Primary Village?" Kaiba asked, looking at his partner and Daisuke. "What is that?"
"It's the place where all Digimon are born, and it's where they all return to when they die so that they can be reborn." Daisuke explained with a small smile. "I've been there a few times, and it was always beautiful, and the baby Digimon were so cute."
"So, would we find Veemon there?" Mokuba asked Daisuke who looked at him and she shrugged slightly and rubbed her arm.
"Maybe, we won't know until we look for ourselves." She said before walking off and the Kaiba brothers and White Veemon followed her. After a few minutes of walking in silence, the group stopped as they walked over a hill and gazed upon the landscape before them.
"This is the Primary Village?" Mokuba asked his eyes filled with wonder as he took in the large green fields, the huge stuffed building blocks the size of buildings, the trees with toys and stuffed animals hanging from the branches and the numerous hills surrounding the place.
"It sure is. Come on let's get closer, be careful not to jump." White Veemon said as he walked ahead.
"What happens if we jump?" Kaiba asked following his partner before his partner gave him a smirk before pushing him over and as he landed, he sunk into the ground before he was flung up and he fell and continued bouncing.
"That is what happens, this whole place is a giant bouncy castle, so that the babies don't hurt themselves when they're playing." Daisuke said before she laughed when Mokuba jumped and began to bounce around.
"Well I see you're all having fun." A voice called out and Daisuke turned around and smiled at the familiar four legged, red and purple Digimon who smiled up at her. "Daisuke, it's been a while hasn't it?" he asked
"Yeah it sure has Elecmon, how have you been?" She asked kneeling down to embrace the Digimon who smiled.
"Good, the babies are healthy and still noisy and troublemakers once they get old enough." He said bringing out a giggle from the girl as the Kaiba brothers eventually stopped their bouncing with Kaiba giving White Veemon a glare who was grinning at him.
"New friends I see." Elecmon said looking at the brothers and the White Veemon, Daisuke nodded and walked over to the brothers.
"Yeah. Elecmon, meet Seto Kaiba and his younger brother Mokuba Kaiba." She introduced them as Mokuba waved and Kaiba nodded slightly. "And this is Seto's partner, White Veemon."
"I know, it's been a while, but I still remember the little tyke." Elecmon said with a fatherly smile as White Veemon blushed slightly. "Always reading books or asking me to read to you."
"Huh, so your genius didn't just come from Seto." Mokuba said with a grin and his friend scratched his cheek with a giggle.
Daisuke smiled at the sight before she took a deep sigh and looked down at Elecmon. "Elecmon, the reason why I'm here, I...I'm looking for Veemon's egg…do…do you know if he's here?" She whispered and the caretaker looked around.
"Hm well there have been a lot of Digieggs recently, I have been pretty swamped taking care of them all, but you're free to look around for him." He told the humans and Digimon, Kaiba nodded and he gently took Daisuke's hand and led her off to the field of Digieggs with Mokuba and White Veemon following.
"So, what does his Digiegg look like?" he asked her softly.
"I don't know, he never was in his Digiegg when I was with him." She answered looking away from Seto who nodded in understanding, looking around at the endless rows of Digieggs he looked at her.
"Well we'd best start searching." He said and she nodded and both walked off through the fields of Digieggs searching for Veemon's egg. As they walked through the field of Digieggs, Daisuke came to a stop when she heard her D-3 beep and she pulled it out of her pocket to see the screen flickering softly before in a blinding flash of blue light it began glowing.
"What's going on with this thing now?" Daisuke questioned holding the Digivice away from her before off in the distance she saw one of the Digieggs begin to glow. "That one…" She whispered walking towards the glowing egg.
"Dai…Daisuke you're here." She heard a faint voice coming from the egg and she kneeled and slowly reached for it.
"Veemon…I…I'm here." She whispered as the egg exploded in a cloud of powder blue smoke and she coughed and waved her hand clearing the smoke away. She then looked at the small creature sitting in the new cradle and her eyes widened and she began tearing up.
"Hi Dai, what took ya so long?" chirped the cute blue creature with a warm smile as he too began tearing up.
"Oh Veemon, I've missed you so much." She whispered picking up the Digimon and holding him in her arms close to her chest. "I thought I'd never see you again."
"Digimon never die silly." Chibomon chirped with a giggle before looking at Kaiba. "Oh who is that, is he your boyfriend?" he teased with a chirp making Daisuke flush bright red while Kaiba scoffed and looked away.
"No, he's not my boyfriend, he's just a new friend who also has a Digimon." She explained fighting down her blush.
"Another Digidestined, yay that means new friends!" her partner happily chirped as Mokuba and White Veemon walked over.
"It sure does, Mokuba, White Veemon, Kaiba, meet my Digimon partner Chibomon." She said holding up her partner who smiled brightly.
"Hiya!" he greeted jumping up and down in Daisuke's hands making the others smile at his joy.
"Now that is sorted, do you want to explore the Digital World some more or do you want to head back?" Kaiba asked her.
"Let's head back, I should pick Joey up and make sure he's not caused Yugi and his grandfather too much trouble." She said walking off heading back to the portal unaware of just what her brother and her friends had gotten themselves into.
