As all of that was going down in Japan, the day was just beginning for another Digidestined. In a small house, a boy with short spiky blond hair and blue eyes was waking up. This boy is Takeru Takaishi or TK as he likes to be called.
TK got out of bed and got ready for the day. He decided to wear a plain yellow t-shirt and blue shorts, and to cap it off he put on a white bucket hat before leaving his room.
TK walked into the kitchen and saw a bowl of lumpy oatmeal. He heard his mother typing away on the computer, something about needing to finish an article about "The necessities of dramas," or something like that. TK finished his breakfast and put his bowl in the sink.
"I'm going now," TK said.
"Alright, sweety," he heard his mother say. "Have a good day at school."
"OK," TK said as he left the house. TK got on his bicycle and began his ride to school.
As TK rode through town he began to think back on the previous two years. After the Diaboromon incident, his mom thought that it was best that they move to Paris to be closer to his grandparents and away from anything Digital World related. Now, TK was happy that he gets to see his grandparents more, but he really misses his friends and brother. After moving, TK and his friends were summoned back to the Digital World for a day to reunite with their Digimon partners. TK was happy to see his brother and his friends that day, especially Patamon.
After that day everything was normal. TK was able to visit his brother and friends during the summer and holidays, but that didn't mean he didn't get lonely on any other days. He was really grateful for the e-mails from his brother and Kari, but it was really hard to figure out when either of them would be awake due to the different time zones.
TK arrived at his school and locked his bike on a bike rack. He turned around and saw a girl with shoulder-length blond hair, blue eyes, and is wearing a white shirt, denim overall shorts, and a purple bow in her hair.
"Hey TK," the girl greeted.
"Hi Chloe," responded TK to the now identified as Chloe. "How are ya?"
"I'm good," she replied. "You ready for Summer Break?"
"After a whole year of school, I would say I'm ready," he said with a grin.
"I can say the same thing," Chloe replied. "Do you know how many times I fell asleep in class during the year?"
"I lost count after 10," TK answered as they walked through the main doors of the school.
When TK and his mom moved to Paris he had a hard time making friends. It wasn't because TK couldn't speak French because his mother was from Paris and wanted both him and his brother to be fluent in the language. It was because TK didn't try to make any friends the first few weeks in Paris. Chloe was one of the few people to actually talk to him.
"Do you have any plans for the summer?" Chloe asked as they reached their lockers.
"I signed up for a basketball camp," TK told her.
"That's neat," Chloe said after pulling out a bag of pain aux raisins. "Want one?"
"No thanks," TK said. "Do you have any plans for the Summer?"
"I'm continuing the dance lesson's I took last Summer," Chloe said as she began eating her food.
"Do you even eat breakfast?" TK asked. "Because every day that I've known you, you always have something to eat before class even starts."
"I eat breakfast," Chloe said with her mouth full. "I just like to have something extra."
"Well whatever get's you through the day," TK said as they started walking to their homeroom.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Chloe pouted.
TK chuckled. "It means that you have a black hole where your stomach should be," he said as they reached their homeroom. "All I'm saying is that maybe it would be a good idea to lay back on the after-meal sna-,"
TK was interrupted when a dry erasure hit him in the face. "There you are Takaishi!" a girl seethed. After rubbing his face, TK saw the person who threw the eraser, a girl who looked exactly like Chloe, but with long blonde hair tied into pigtails and was wearing a red skirt and a black tank top.
"And hello to you too, Miss Deneuve," TK said sarcastically.
"Don't hello to you too, with me after what you did," the girl fumed.
"What did he do, Catherine?" Chloe asked.
Catherine turned to her bag and pulled out a fake rubber snake. "Your friend here put this in my locker, scaring and embarrassing me."
TK laughed.
"IT'S NOT FUNNY!" Catherine screamed.
"Oh, but it is," TK said between breaths. "I just wish I was there to see it."
"You'll wish you weren't here in a few seconds," Catherine said as she approached TK.
Chloe stepped in between the two trying to calm down Catherine. "Hold on, Catherine," Chloe said with her hands up. "You shouldn't do anything drastic."
"Don't try to protect him, Chloe," Catherine steamed. "He had this coming for months."
"But you put a fake roach in his lunch last week," Chloe said.
"Only because he put salt in my drink," Catherine retorted.
"I only did that because you dumped a lot of hot sauce in my sandwich the week prior," TK butted in.
"Yeah, only because-,"
"That's enough," Chloe interrupted. "You two have been going back and forth this whole year and I don't want either of you to rip each other apart."
"But he started it," Catherine complained.
"I don't care," Chloe stated. "Now go sit down."
Following her sister's order, Catherine went and sat in her seat. Chloe exhaled and turned to TK.
"I don't get this rivalry that you and my older sister have," she said while shaking her head. "It's starting to give me a headache."
"It's just how our friendship works," TK answered with a grin. "By the way, thank you for stopping your sister back there. Who knows what she would've done to me if you hadn't."
"Well I didn't have a choice," Chloe replied with a grin of her own. "I did help you put that rubber snake in her locker."
"And that's why I call you the good twin," he said, lightly punching her shoulder. "Anyways, we should get to our seats, homeroom's about to start."
They took their seats and waited for their teacher to enter. TK leaned over to Catherine and smiled. He doesn't hate or dislike her and she doesn't hate him either, it's just how their relationship worked. He would tease her and she would tease him back, but after a few minutes, they would be friends again.
"So Cat, what are your plans for Summer?" TK asked, using the nickname that he and Chloe thought for her.
"Singing lessons," she answered. "And you?"
"Basketball camp."
"Not continuing the piano lessons?" Catherine asked.
"No, the lessons were something for me to do when basketball ended," TK answered
"Got it."
Their teacher walked in as the bell rang indicating the start of the day. TK turned his head towards the window and tuned out his teacher's early morning rambling. He sighed and began wondering what his friends were doing at the moment. TK began to wonder how Patamon was doing.

The world was falling apart. Trees were falling over, the land was breaking apart, the seas were rising and flooding the lands, and the weather was getting stronger with every passing minute with the constant rain, thunder, lightning, and strong winds. Some were panicking and trying to find shelter under the trees that are still standing or a cave system. Others were either flying or swimming away from the storm.
A creature that resembled a guinea pig with bat wings for ears, blue eyes, a cream-colored underbelly, and an orange back, head, and stubby tail was trying not to be blown away by the storm. The creature was confused and frightened at the same time because one moment it was hanging out with its friends then the next this storm began and separated it from its friends. It grabbed hold of a tree branch hoping that it would last long enough until the storm ended or slowed down enough for the creature to look for its friends.
A few minutes passed and the storm didn't slow down one bit and the creature began to worry that the storm wouldn't end, but it wouldn't lose hope until its final breath in the world. It wouldn't let go of the branch no matter how many times it was pelted by the rain.
"HELP!"
The cry of help drew the creature's attention. It looked around trying to pinpoint its location. It knew the risk it would be putting itself in if it tried to help it, but it wasn't in its nature to not help. It readied its ears, readying itself for the next cry.
"HELP!"
The creature turned to its left after hearing the cry. It saw a flooded area with fallen over trees and falling rocks. The creature began its difficult trek over to the area and try to help whoever cried out. It tried to fly, but the strong winds made it difficult to take off from the branch. It didn't let that stop it from trying as it began to flap its wings.
The wind thrashed it around and the rain made it harder to see, but the creature didn't let that stop it from getting to its destination. It landed on a tree branch to see how much progress it made. It saw that it was halfway from where it started, but there was still so much land it needed to get passed to help who needed it. The creature looked over to the flooded area to see if it could make out the being that called for help. The rain made it hard to see, but it was able to make out an orange body and a horn.
Seeing its target the creature grit its teeth and began to fly again. This flight was a little more difficult because both the rain and the winds picked up speed. The creature started to get tired and the wind started to knock it out of its flight path, but the creature never gave up and continued flying until it made it to the flooded area. It landed on a rock and looked over the flooding waters and saw who cried for help.
The creature saw two beings, both with round bodies and white faces, but one creature had an orange body with a horn and the other had brownish-black eyes, a green body, a plant growing out of its head, and four white feet.
"A Tsunomon and a Tanemon," the creature spoke.
After hearing a voice the Tsunomon looked over and called out for help.
"HELP US!" It screamed.
"Don't worry I'll save you!" The creature proclaimed as it began to fly over the flooding area. It made its way over the flooding waters and landed next to the two creatures.
"Thank you for coming to save us," The Tsunomon said.
"Don't thank me yet," replied the creature. "We still need to get out of here."
"But, how are we going to do that?" asked the Tanemon.
"I'm gonna try to fly you out of here," the creature responded.
The creature grabbed onto the Tsunomon and began to fly up and away from the area. But, when they got a far enough distance away from the ground the wind began to blow them away. The creature couldn't keep its balance as the wind hurled both it and the Tsunomon towards a pile of rocks. The creature closed its eyes and wrapped its wings around the Tsunomon as it braced for impact.
"Sticky Net!"
The creature opened its eyes and saw that it landed on a giant web. It looked around and saw a green caterpillar with ten legs with pink claws, a pair of long antennae on its head, purple mandibles, and pink pincers on its end.
"I'm glad I caught you," the caterpillar said.
"And so am I," the creature responded. "You're a Wormmon, right?"
"Yes, I am," Wormmon answered. "And you're a Patamon."
The crack of thunder interrupted their introduction as Wormmon helped Patamon out of the net and they both returned to where the Tanemon was.
"How are we gonna get out of this?" asked Wormmon.
"I tried flying, but with the heavy winds and the added weight I'll the wind will drag me away," replied Patamon as it began to think of another plan.
"What we need is a cave to hide in," Wormmon said.
"But, how are we gonna find a cave if I can't fly out of here or climb out of here while carrying Tsunomon or Tanemon?" asked Patamon
Suddenly the wall behind them collapsed and out came a small purple dragon with golden eyes, a golden diamond on its forehead, and wings attached to its hands and forearms. It signaled them to follow it into the cave as it grabbed Tanemon and ran back into the cave it made. Seeing no reason to argue with it, Patamon grabbed onto Tsunomon and hurried into the cave along with Wormmon. They traveled deep into the cave until they saw the purple dragon resting by a fire with Tanemon.
"Thank you for saving us back there," Patamon said as it landed near the fire.
"Don't mention it," replied the dragon. "I heard you talking when I began making this cave, so I decided to help you."
"It's a good thing that you did," Tanemon said. "It feels like my plant is beginning to wilt."
"So what do you think caused this storm?" Wormmon asked.
"I don't know, but it happened out of nowhere," Tsunomon responded.
"Well let's hope that it would end soon," Patamon said as it stared into the fire.
After the storm started they were separated and Patamon was starting to worry. It didn't know if they were safe or if they were in any danger and what made it worse was that Patamon wasn't able to do anything until the storm let up. Making up its mind, Patamon decided that when the storm calmed down the first thing that it would do is that it would look for its friends.
"By the way," Tsunomon said. "What Digimon are you?"
The dragon looked at the horned Digimon and cleared its voice. "I'm a Monodramon."

The final bell rang and all Chloe could do was cheer. After a long day of doing nothing TK, Catherine, and her made their way to the bike rack.
"Do you guys want to do anything later?" Chloe asked. "Maybe go see a movie or maybe some shopping?"
"Maybe another day," TK said, after unchaining his bike. "My mom wants me to help her with the article that she's writing."
"The one about dramas?" Catherine questioned.
"The very one," TK said. He got on his bike and said his goodbyes and began his journey back home. As he was riding home TK was hoping that he got an email from one of his friends to lift his spirit after a boring last day. He reached his house after a few minutes and walked inside.
"I'm home," TK called out. TK walked into the kitchen waiting for a response when he spotted a note.
TK,
Went out to get ink for the printer. Be back soon.
Love,
Mom
After reading the note TK walked to his room to check his emails. He entered his room and heard the sound of a faint beeping. TK decided to ignore the sound as he logged on to his computer. He looked through his inbox and looked through his recent emails. TK saw that there were no new emails so he began to type one to his brother.
Hey Matt,
I just finished school for the Summer so I'm free to chat whenever. How is everyone? Things are good over here. I think Mom is becoming more interested in her computer than Izzy. Please get back to me when you have the chance.
TK
TK sent the email and began to type out another one for his best friend.
Hi Kari,
I'm finished with school for the Summer. Jealous? Anyway, I'm sending this email to let you know that I'll be free to chat whenever, I just need a heads up. But enough of what's going on in my life let's talk about yours. How's school? Did you pick up any new hobbies? Is Tai bothering you? Please get back to me when you have the chance, I need to go find something that's making a beeping noise.
TK
TK stretched out his arms and began looking for the cause of the beeping. He began looking over his desk moving around some papers and magazines thinking that it was probably buried under all his junk.
"I should probably clean this up at some point," TK said as he continued digging around his desk. TK then turned his attention to his desk drawers. He looked through each of them, but most of them were empty because he had everything sprawled on his desk.
Figuring out that the noise isn't coming from his desk, TK turned his attention to the nightstand next to his bed. He opened the top drawer and saw what was causing the noise. It was a small teal roundish square device with three buttons and a screen.
"My Digivice?" TK said as he reached to grab the device. "Why is it making this noi-"
The second he grabbed hold of his Digivice, TK was sucked into his computer.

Catherine was currently on her computer looking for movie showings in the coming week. Hearing her sister suggest they watch a movie got her excited for the upcoming week. Her singing lessons won't start until the next week and she knows that Chloe's dancing lessons won't start until the end of the week so she wants to do something special before they go into their respective hobbies. Catherine heard her bedroom door open and saw her sister walk in.
"Hey Cat," she said. "Whatcha doing?"
"Looking at the upcoming movie showings," Catherine answered.
"Why?" Chloe said, tilting her head.
"Well, ever since you brought up the movies I had the idea to go see one before our lessons begin," Catherine told her.
"Anything good?" Chloe asked, looking at the computer screen.
"Not really," Catherine sighed. "I've been searching for the past few minutes and couldn't find anything." She moved to the side so her sister could see the screen. "Tell me if you see anything interesting."
Chloe began scrolling down the screen looking at every movie title. Nothing looked intriguing to her and the ones that did come out later in the summer. She sighed with disappointment.
"Nothing," she said dejectedly.
Catherine rubbed her sister's shoulder. "It's fine," she told her. "We can try some other time."
Catherine moved to turn off her computer when static took over her screen.
"Aw man, I just got this," she groaned.
"Do you want me to smack it?" Chloe asked.
"No, I just need to turn it off and on," Catherine said and reached for the power button. As her finger hovered over the power button two lights started to form on the screen. She backed up and saw the two lights grow brighter.
"What's happening?" Chloe asked.
"I don't know?" Catherine said, shielding her eyes.
The light died down and when they uncovered their eyes they saw two small teal roundish square devices with three buttons and a screen.
"What are those?" asked Chloe as she moved closer to the strange devices. She reached out for one of the devices when her sister smacked her hand away.
"Don't touch it!" Catherine exclaimed. "You don't know what that is."
"I know but," Chloe said, never taking her eyes off the device. "It feels like it's calling to me."
"What are you talking about?" Catherine said. "Listen, Chloe, why don't you go and get something to eat."
"But, Catherine," Chloe said. "Don't you feel it too? Just look at it."
Taking her sister's advice Catherine looked over at the devices. The more she looked at them the more she felt like she had a connection to it. It felt like one of the devices was meant for her. Letting go of her sister's arm she reached over for the one that called to her the most. Following her sister's example, she also reached for one of the devices. When they grabbed hold of the devices they were sucked into the computer.

Currently working on a project is a young boy with flat blue hair that is combed to the right side of his face, blue eyes, and was wearing a pink t-shirt with blue-collar and green cargo pants. He was on his computer looking up information to help him with his project. His door opened and a woman with brown hair stuck her head in.
"Ken, honey it's getting late you need to turn off your computer and go to sleep," she told him.
"Okay, mom," Ken replied. "Just let me finish reading this article."
"Okay, but make sure to brush your teeth when you're done," his mother said before leaving.
Ken turned his attention back to the computer screen and continued reading the article. As he was reading Ken's mind wandered back to that strange world that he was sucked into. He remembers how peaceful and beautiful the land was and all the strange creatures he saw. He also remembers a caterpillar that stood by his side and protected him on his little adventure. Ken began to wonder what his caterpillar friend is doing now.
After a big yawn, Ken started exiting out of websites. When Ken was about to turn off his computer he heard a beeping noise coming from his desk drawer. He opened up the drawer and saw the device that came out of his computer on the first day he went to that strange world. This confused Ken because the device never made any noise before, not even when it came out of his computer. Ken reached down towards the device to see what was causing it to beep, but when he touched it Ken was transported into his computer.

In a small apartment, a boy was currently playing video games on his computer. He had brown hair, brown eyes, and was wearing a brown sweater and khakis. This boy is Ryo Akiyama and he is trying to be quiet because his parents are sleeping. Ryo was supposed to be asleep, but he wanted to play his game for a few more minutes and those few minutes turned into an hour and a half. He turned his attention to the clock on his wall to check what time it is.
"10 o'clock!" Ryo exclaimed. "Yeah, I think that's enough video games for the night."
Ryo pushed the power button on his computer expecting the screen to turn black, but it didn't. He pushed it again, but nothing changed. Ryo was starting to get frustrated and began button mashing the power button. Ryo groaned seeing that his computer wasn't turning off and smacked the side of his monitor in frustration. The screen turned to static after his hand made contact with the monitor and Ryo felt his stomach drop.
"Oh no!" he said in a panic. "No no no nonononono!"
In his frenzy, Ryo didn't notice a bright light forming in the static. The light shot through the monitor and hit Ryo in his face. That frustrated Ryo more and growled when he saw the small teal device.
"Lousy piece of junk!" Ryo said as he grabbed onto the device. When Ryo had a full grasp on the strange device he was swallowed into his computer. With the room empty the computer turned off.

On a nice hot Summer day, most kids would be outside playing sports, swimming, or spending time with friends. All of that sounds fun to a normal kid, but one kid doesn't see it as a fun day. In a big Colorado house is a boy with short blonde hair and green eyes, wearing a grey shirt underneath a magenta jacket and blue shorts. This boy was on his computer gaining as much knowledge as he could. As he was learning, two almost identical creatures were watching him on his bed.
One creature resembled a dog with its white fur and green markings on its body, long frayed ears, black eyes, and a single horn on its head. While the other resembled a rabbit with its brown fur and pink markings on its body, long frayed ears, black eyes, and three horns on its head. Both of these creatures were extremely bored and tired of seeing the boy spend his days on the computer instead of being outside.
"Willis, I'm bored," the dog creature whined. "Can you get off the computer so we can go outside and play?"
"I'm sorry, Terriermon, just a few more minutes," replied Willis.
"But you said that yesterday," the rabbit creature complained.
"I know, Lopmon, it's just that I need to know this," Willis retorted.
Terriermon hopped over to Willis' computer to see what he was reading. Terriermon looked at the screen and saw a complex equation and long words. Just looking at the screen made the dog-like creature's head hurt. It looked over at its human companion in awe, confused how he's able to understand the complex words and imagery on the screen.
"What is this anyway?" Terriermon asked.
Willis turned his attention to Terriermon. "It's a scientific theory that there are other universes out there and if we're able to make contact with any of them," he explained and turned his attention back to his monitor. "It's very interesting."
"Why are you interested in this theory, anyway?" Lopmon enquired.
"If you ask me it's a big waste of time," Terriermon interjected.
"Well, it's because of you two," Willis said after turning his attention to the two creatures. "Two years ago two weird eggs and a weird device came out of my computer and I want to know where you came from."
"So you're planning on getting rid of us," Lopmon said sadly.
"No," Willis said quickly. "I just want to know where you came from that's all."
"That's a relief," Terriermon said, patting Willis's head. "What would you do if we weren't here anymore."
Willis sighed while shaking his head. "Probably be lonely," he said as he got out of his chair. "I think that's enough computer time for today. Why don't we go outside."
Both Terriermon and Lopmon cheered. They were finally going outside after being cooped up in Willis' room for a week. Both Terriermon and Lopmon were standing by the door when they heard a beeping coming from Willis' desk. Willis looked over his desk and saw the strange device that came out of his monitor with Terriermon and Lopmon's eggs two years ago.
"Why's it beeping?" Willis' questioned. "It has never done that before."
"I don't know?" Terriermon said. "But can you deal with it later?"
"Just a quick minute," Willis said as he reached for the device. "I just want to examine it." Willis grabbed hold of the device to check out, but when he held it up to his face Terriermon, Lopmon, and him were sucked into his computer.
