Seven years later...
"Ohayo, minna-chan!" greeted a boy of eleven years.
"Ossu, Takeru-san," replied a younger boy with dark brown hair.
"How's it going, T. J.?" asked an older with mahogany hair.
A girl with light brown hair hit him on the shoulder lightly. "Daisuke-kun, you know very well it's T. K. Iori just said his name right now," she reminded him. Her eyes turned towards the newcomer. "Ohayo, Takeru-kun."
"Same here," added a girl with long violet hair.
Takeru grinned and nodded to each of them, shouldering his backpack. "So, what's up you guys?"
"Nothing much," shrugged Iori. "Just waiting for the bell to ring."
"I can't wait until it's time for the field trip today," commented the first girl.
The second girl laughed, adjusting her glasses. "Me too, Kari-chan," she agreed.
"Miyako-san, did you bring snacks from your family's supermarket?" asked Iori.
"Hai, but I'm sorry you can't come today," she said.
"It's all right. Today's art anyways," the boy replied.
The bell rang, signaling the beginning of homeroom. Takeru, Hikari, and Daisuke separated from Iori and Miyako, anxiously waiting until 9:00 a.m. when they would be visiting the Juuban Aquarium. They sat in their seats, somewhat eagerly, until finally the yellow buses were seen through the glass windows.
"Okay, class, the buses are here," announced the teacher. "Time for the field trip." The class jumped to their feet and practically stampeded through the door. "Now, now. Single file, please. No pushing. Daisuke! Don't worry, there's room for everyone."
* * * * *
At the aquarium...
A teenage girl of fourteen years leaned against the railing in front of the tropical fish. Tendrils of golden hair fell in her face, while she played with a silver necklace that hung around her neck. The fish darted here and there, creating a whirl of rainbow scales. She had her hair in a most peculiar hairstyle. Two buns rested on either side of her head, with streamers of hair falling from it.
'I'm so bored...' the girl thought. 'I've already been around the whole aquarium twice!' She began to walk towards the mini octopus.
"Matte, Usagi-chan!" a voice called. "Matte!"
The girl turned as her name was called. A redhead came running up to her, out of breath. "What is it, Naru-chan?" she asked.
"I was just afraid I'd lose you," the girl replied. "There are so many schools here today..."
"Hai," agreed Usagi. They continued to proceed to the other tanks, chatting about this or that. As they walked, they passed a group of four friends.
"Honestly Daisuke-kun," commented a girl wearing yellow shorts. "You should've known better."
"Gomen nasai, Kari-chan," a boy with goggles replied. "I was just looking and-"
"And you messed up again," added a girl with a bandana dryly.
"Miyako-chan's right," agreed a boy with blonde hair.
Usagi looked over her shoulder, curious as to why that voice sounded so familiar. All she caught was a flash of blue eyes and blonde hair before the crowd consumed the small group. 'Could it have been-?' she thought to herself. 'No, I haven't seen either of them in six years. I just lost touch...' She sighed unconsciously but gave Naru a smile as her friend looked at her, concern flickering through her eyes.
Takeru looked up just as a pair of twin pigtails disappeared around the corner. 'That hairstyle...' he thought. 'No, it probably wasn't her. Takeru, you shouldn't really get your hopes up,' he added to himself with a sigh.
"Okay, let's go see the squid, minna-chan," suggested Hikari.
"All right, Kari-chan," Daisuke agreed eagerly, nodding his head. He ran ahead of all of them, trying not to bump into anybody.
"Daisuke! Stop running or you'll run into-" Takeru's warning was interrupted with a loud, 'oof!' "Somebody," he finished.
Daisuke quickly got up from his uncomfortable position on the floor. "Gomen nasai," he apologized to the older woman. "I wasn't looking where I was going," he explained further. "Please forgive me."
The woman he had run into smiled at him warmly with ruby lips. "That's all right," she replied. "Accidents happen." As she looked at him over her black sunglasses, Daisuke caught a mysterious gaze of magenta orbs. "Just try not to do that again. We don't want anybody to get hurt, right?"
"Hai, hai," Daisuke agreed. "Again, I'm really sorry. Well, I have to get going. My friends are waiting for me." He gestured to Takeru and the others, who were shaking their heads and muttering incoherent things under their breath.
The woman laughed lightly, flipping some of her ebony hair over her shoulder. The lights caught parts of it, showing seemingly natural emerald highlights. "They seem a little impatient. You better go now. Maybe we'll see each other again, ne?" she asked.
"Hai," Daisuke said. "Sayonnara." He turned and headed back to his friends, while they went in another direction, but not without taking one last peek at the woman.
"Sayonnara..." the woman whispered, while watching him go. She didn't turn as a girl of thirteen years laid a hand on her arm.
"Was that him?" the girl asked quietly, her violet eyes holding a strange light.
"Iie, that wasn't him," she answered as she took off her sunglasses. "That was another Chosen One."
"Then why did you bump into him?" the girl questioned as she brushed her hand through her chin length black hair. "You usually don't try to draw attention to yourself."
The woman smiled at the girl and shook her head slightly. "Oh firefly, sometimes you know too much for your own good." As the younger girl continued to study her, she sighed and turned towards her. "Well, to get them reunited, I need this." The woman held her hand out to reveal that she was holding a strange looking device.
The girl gasped as she brought a hand to her mouth. "Is that one of the-"
"Hai," she answered while nodding her head. "This is one of the digivices. I got it from Daisuke as he bumped into me. Not that hard really. That boy needs to learn to be more careful."
"How are you going to give it to her?" the girl asked.
"Probably the old fashion way," she winked as they both suddenly disappeared as if they never were really there.
Usagi was passing by one of the many tanks, gazing with awe at each creature. She had found a new section finally while Naru went to the restroom. Sapphire eyes danced with excitement, while pink lips curved into sunny smile. She didn't notice as two pairs of eyes watched her from a deeply shadowed corner where no one was passing currently. It was the same girl and woman as before, except they were wearing very peculiar outfits. The woman held a strange staff shaped like a key.
She raised a finger every time she counted down. "10... 9... 8... 7... 6..." Usagi was getting closer to the blue digivice laid carefully on the floor. "5... 4... 3... 2... 1!"
As Usagi was about to head down another hallway, her eyes caught a flash of blue on the floor. Seeing no one on either end of the hall she was in, she picked up the strange device out of curiosity. Her hands traced the buttons on the side and the mini-screen in the middle. 'I wonder what this is...' she thought.
The woman nodded her head, satisfied, as the younger girl beside her continued to watch the scene unfold. "Is it time to go now?" she asked.
"Hai," the woman answered as the orb atop her staff blinked. "Good luck princess," the woman whispered before an aura of red enveloped the two and winked out of existence.
Usagi turned around, trying to shake off the feeling that she had just been watched. She shook off her head and giggled. 'Usagi, you're getting paranoid,' she thought. She pressed a button and a name flashed on the screen. "Daisuke Motomiya; Obaida Elementary Junior High," she read. She paled slightly at the word, 'Obaida.' 'That's the district Highton View Terrace was in... where I used to live.' "It doesn't have his address," she said aloud. "Guess I'm going to have to return it myself after school..."
* * * * *
Back at Obaida, after school...
"Hey, Takeru!" yelled an older boy of fourteen.
"Ossu, oniisan!" T.K. replied, while the others waved from behind him.
"Where's everyone else?" he asked.
"They're coming soon, Yamato-san," Hikari told him.
The older boy brushed a hand through his golden locks. "Do they know we're supposed to meet here at the park before we go to the beach?"
"Hai," answered Miyako.
"Ohayo!" shouted a boy with wild brown hair.
"Hi!" greeted a girl with short red hair.
"How's it going?" asked a boy with dark blue hair.
"Konnichi wa," said a boy with red hair.
"Hi, Taichi-san, Sora-san, Jyou-san, and Koushiro-san," replied Iori.
"You guys ready?" inquired Taichi.
"Hai!" everyone replied.
"Okay, let's go!"
As the Digidestined walked, Takeru took glances at his older brother. He silently noted how much he had changed since that day seven years ago. 'So distant nowadays, but there are times when he's his real self,' T. K. thought. 'Should I tell him I thought I saw oneesan?' "Oniisan-" he started but then stopped himself.
Yamato looked at him through the corner of his eye. "What is it, Takeru?" he asked.
"It was nothing," he lied.
Yamato narrowed his eyes in suspicion but shook his head. "Whatever you say, otooto. Whatever you say."
Takeru sighed as he dropped back behind the rest of his friends. He stared up at the sky, while shouldering his backpack. 'Oneesan, where are you?' he thought to himself. 'You promised...'
* * * * *
Obaida Elementary School...
Usagi looked at the digivice, then back at the school entrance. "Well, this is the place..." she said to herself. "I wonder where the office is..."
She entered the quiet building and walked down the many halls. Finally, after many unsuccessful attempts, she found a door labeled 'Office.' She knocked on the door and opened it. "Hello?" she called.
"May I help you?" asked an old woman with white hair.
"Yes, I'm looking for Daisuke Motomiya," Usagi replied. "Would you happen to know where he is?"
"Well, dear, it is after school hours," the woman said.
"Oh, gomen nasai-" Usagi started.
"But he and his friends are usually found in the computer lab on the second floor," the older woman interrupted.
Usagi smiled gratefully and nodded. "Arigato." She walked out of the office.
"Good-bye, dear," the woman called as she returned back to typing.
* * * * *
In the digital world...
"Howling Blaster!!" shouted Garurumon as a storm of ice escaped from his mouth. It shot forward but missed the dark ring by inches.
"Harpoon Torpedo!" yelled Ikakumon. Several torpedoes escaped from the horn on his head. They missed the evil digimon and instead went crashing into a gorge.
"We need the others!" Togemon said to the others, while punching the lights out of a Guardramon. The metal digimon wheezed but then electrified the cactus digimon. "Ahh!"
"Togemon! Daijoubu ka?" asked Kabuterrimon.
"Daijoubu," Togemon choked out.
"We need Yamato and the others!" yelled Garurumon.
"Hai! And Angemon and the rest of them, like Flamedramon!" added Greymon.
"What we need is to digivolve to the next level," said Birdramon.
Evil laughter was heard above them. "Hah! I'll be surprised if they come to save you this time, you pathetic excuses for Digimon," yelled a figure riding on top of a Dark Tyrannomon.
"The Digimon Kaizer!" shouted Kabuterrimon.
"And look who he brought with him," Ikakumon added with a grim smile. Several Dark Tyrannomons started to surround the area, blocking any chance of escape.
"I think we're in trouble," muttered Greymon.
* * * * *
The beach...
"I got it!" Sora yelled as she spiked the volleyball over the net.
"Right back at ya!" Daisuke said as he in turn spiked it.
"Hey! I thought your specialty was soccer!" Taichi exclaimed as the ball hit him in the head.
Daisuke shrugged but grinned. "Guess volleyball is an okay sport."
"Just show your stuff!" Takeru said as he served it over.
"Gotcha!" replied Yamato as he hit it back.
Everyone laughed as they jumped around in the sand and played beach volleyball. Their bags and towels lay a few yards away from them. The second generation's digimon watched on the sidelines, interested somewhat. Their eyes moved back and forth as the ball went over each side of the net. It was the first digidestined against the second ones.
"Umm... what is the point of this game?" asked Gatomon.
"To see the ball go over the net, back and forth?" suggested Chibimon.
"It's probably just for fun," commented Patamon.
"Uh-huh," said the other two.
On the towels, unbeknownst to the digidestined and digimon, their digivices were blinking rapidly. Koushiro's laptop was open and the faces of the digimon were shown. Garurumon was looking into the screen as well as Kabuterrimon.
"Hello?! Is anybody there? We need your help!" Unfortunately, the laptop was not facing the digidestined. "Hello?!" The screen split and crackled, before winking out, and loosing connection.
* * * * *
"So this is the computer room..." mused Usagi. She glanced around the many computers while walking around. She clutched the blue digivice in her hand as she noticed no one was in the room. "Oh well, I guess I better leave and come back again another time." As she was about to turn and walk around, the digivice began to beep and blink. Usagi brought it up to look at it. "I wonder what's going on..." she said.
Just as she said that, the computer screen she was standing in front of, flashed and a smaller screen within it appeared. Several strange creatures appeared on it, seeming to be battling for their lives. "How awful!" Usagi exclaimed, bringing her hand to her mouth. "I have to get out of here!" However, before she could do anything, the digivice in her hand beeped yet again.
"Wh-" Usagi's question was cut off as she was taken through the screen of the computer.
* * * * *
Garurumon looked up sharply, dodging a blast from one of the Dark Tyrannomon, as a familiar scent wafted through his nostrils. 'Could it be... oojo?' he thought. He looked around at the conditions of his friends and found they were doing okay, for the time being anyway. "Howling Blaster!" he shouted. The attack hit his enemy, and fazed him long enough for him to escape to the woods for a moment.
Usagi looked up wearily and found herself in the woods. "Where am I?" she asked herself.
"The digital world," answered a gruff voice behind her.
She turned and almost screamed aloud. A large wolf-like creature was staring at her. Everything in her told her to run or do something, but she looked in its eyes. The eyes seemed very familiar, and instead of stepping away, she moved forward. "Do I know you?" she whispered.
The wolf seemed to nod. "Hai," it answered. "You must remember..."
For a split second, the wolf was replaced with an image of a smaller looking creature, bearing some resemblance. Then with a flash, a scene that had taken place seven years ago, floated through Usagi's mind. It was of a girl receiving a ring from the same small creature. She lowered her head from view as she held the digivice in one hand and her necklace in the other. After a few seconds, she lifted her head again, only to face Garurumon with teary eyes that flashed with recognition.
"Gabumon..."
