Digimon Tamers My Way
Chapter 13: Chibi Tamers?! and Double Dutch School Bus:
It started out as a normal day. Takato knew that usually meant that something messed was gonna happen. Oh boy, she did not like being right. A monster that required all the Tamers and their digimon to fight it attacked. But it launced a strange purple beam at the teen and preteens knocking all of them out. Xion who mostly worked dispatch until a BlackGatomon showed up making her the Tamer of Darkness was sitting in the med bay feeling like crap since she was on the other end of town fighting an evil digimon and didn't get there until after they were knocked out. To the surprise of the parents the Tamers were all roughly Five to seven years of age Suzie was three since she was younger than her siblings anyhow. Terriermon groaned, "Fan flippin' tastic. Our Tamers are little kids and we have no idea how in the worlds to reverse it." A pair of familiar twelve year olds were standing with one of the dispatchers. A woman named Riley. Riku said, "Please tell me I'm not seeing a chibi version of Sora on that bed." Xion looked weary and said, "Wish I could. We don't know how to reverse it. And the creature responsible disappeared so we can't get it to reverse it until we find it." Kairi saw the chibi Sora, Roxas, and Takato all cuddle together as Mrs. Matsuki snapped a picture. "It's cute." Kairi agreed as the chibified Tamers woke up. No one's memories were messed with so they figured that was a good thing. Chibi Takato got of the bed and started banging her head on the wall. "Damn it, damn it, damn it! I knew it was too quiet today. This sucks!" Roxas climbed off the bed as he hugged Takato from behind. "It isn't that bad sis. Besides, We get time to act our apparent age for once." Takato grinned as the Chibi Tamers ran into the lounge and started building a fort out of the furniture in it. Making their families giggle. Takato laughed as she literally bounced off the walls. Burai walked through the wall and said after several hours of watching the chibis play and laugh, "The monster is back. Connor and Trent captured it and forced it to reverse it's attack. They'll be turning back in a few minutes." There were sever flashes of light as the Tamers returned to their original ages.
Takato said, "As much as I'm glad we're back to our normal ages, I'll admit it was fun to play around like a little kid for a few hours. I rarely got to act like a kid growing up." Riku confused asked, "Why?" Takato smiled sadly, "I was born with abilities that were hard to control. So from the time I was four I was training to learn to control them. Not to mention, it was hard to connect to kids my age because my intrests were different. So I never went to birthday parties of classmates or anything. The one time I was in public school for an undercover assignment the kd passing out party invitations skipped me on purpose saying I was weird and she didn't want me wrecking her party." Roxas growled, "What the hell was that brats problem? Just because you weren't that outspoken as a kid didn't mean they had to push you aside!" Riku scowled, "I agree with Roxas. No one should have to suffer lonliness like that." A familiar yellow bear commented, "Can't really argue with you there. Takato was alwyas on edge. Even now when she's trying not to succumb to her stress." Kairi asked, What does he mean?" Takato was silent for a moment but Trista walked in and showed the others a video.
A picture of Takato started out the video as they heard said girls voice say/sing

The video closes with a shot of Takato breaking down crying in front of the memorial for the fallen senshi. Her voice cracking as she choked out, "I'm sorry guys. I'm so so sorry. I was too weak. I couldn't protect you. I'm sorry. Please, please forgive me. I promise I'll never hesitate to take down an enemy ever agian. I swear on your memories that I won't."
Everyone in the room stared at the Tamers leader with shock. They expected a lot of things, but that wasn't one of them. Takato stood and ran out of the building before running into the park near the lake. The Tamer of the Hazard broke down sobbing. While in HYPNOS HQ, Henry said, "Wow. Now it all makes sense. Why Takato even injured refuses to back down, why she was so distant. Damn, this a revelation I don't think any of us were prepared for." Riku looked downcast as Kairi cried in Sora's arms. Rika tearing up before saying, "It isn't fair. Takato works so hard and pushes herself but no one ever says anything in thanks. No ones ever returned her kindness. I-I think we need to do something to show our thanks for what she''s done for everyone else." Roxas' normally vibrant blue eyes were darkened with unshed tears, "I agree Rika. But the question is how?" Sora said, "Start small I guess. Then maybe have a small party for her just to show we appreciate her and what she does for us everyday."
That weekend, the Tamers, the Digimon, their families, along with Funshine, Riku, and Kairi were finishing getting set up for a special party in the park. Yamaki was inviting the Star Force and the future kids along with the DIno Rangers. Roxas and Sora's job was to keep Takato busy until it was time for the party.
Takato felt like banging her head on something. Her brothers were dragging her everywhere in the mall. The arcade, the movies, and into just about every store there was. "Alright you two, what's going on? You both have been acting weird all day!" Sora chuckled, "No way sis. We're not telling." Roxas chirped, "He's right. For now, let's just enjoy some sibling bonding time."
WHen Roxas got a text from Henry, Takato was led to the park where Sora tied a blindfold around her eys. Roxas took Takato's hand and led her to where everyone was waiting. When Takato was told to remove her blindfold everyone there shouted, "SURPRISE!" Takato said, "What in the world?" Max said, "Consider this a thank you for everything you did for everyone. You suffered so much and gave up far too much of your own childhood so others could have their own. We just wanted to pay you back for everything you've done." Takato had a smile on her face as she hugged her friends, family and everyone at the party. The food was fanastic and the games were hilariously fun. So all in all it was a great day.
(Time skip class camping trip one week later)
Takato and the Tamers in her age group were going ona two day camping trip. Tai was with Vida, Jun, Suzie, Ren, Tagiru, and Jaarin as a sort of honor guard. Takato asked, Tai, "You guys okay with holding the fort here while we're all away for the weekend?" Tai laughed and said, "Yes we're okay. Go have some fun Princess. You've earned it." Takato and the others were on the bus when someone suggested singing. Before Jake a boy with no real skill to carry a tune could sing Takato stood and grabbed the microphone. She whispered something in the bus drivers ear and said, "Okay um dude. I'm gonna need you to give me a little bass on this one. Alright? Like this"
Takato: Bump, bump, bump bud um buh bump bump bud um buh
Random student 1: Bump, bump, bump bud um buh bump bump bud um buh

Takato: Everybody scream!
All: Aahhhhhhh!
Takato laughed and it was real laughter. Her ruby eyes sparkling in content happiness. Sora and Roxas tickling their sister as the bus continued on to the camp ground. Instead of Mr. Morry's story Takato took center stage telling the sotry of Zen Aku.
"They claim he is the night itself. While some would say he is a nightmare who walks the Earth searching for his next victim. While in Turtle Cove he is called, The Night Wolf. He is a Duke Org. He is Zen Aku. A warrior from the past cursed to walk among humans in a hellish form. For three millenia he wandered the earth looking for his purpose causing nightmares and panic for those unlucky to fall prey to him. Now he wanders the globe searching for redemption. But the question is, will he find what he's looking for?" Before the fire went out scaring everyone silly even the teachers.
As Sora, Roxas, and Takato walked back to theri tents Roxas commented, "You really scared everyone with that story Takato. Where did you hear it?" Takato chuckled, "Cole told me. Apparently Zen Aku is traveling with Merrick Balliton looking for redemption together." A menacing figure approached them, "And I still do." Sora almost drew his Keyblade when Takato snickered, "You know Zen you really know how to make an entrance."
Two days later the group packed up to head for home. Having heard of blackouts all over Tokyo the night before. Tau calling Takato on her communicator saying they took down a rooster digimon who was absorbing electricity. When the Tamers reached their homes they all collapsed into bed exhausted from the weekend they had.
