Digital Dragon and Robster80 present...

DIGIMON GT:
Prologue

Hello, folks! This here is the sequel series to Digital Dragon's "Digimon Z." It's his brainchild, and I asked to come along for the ride, since I am also a DBZ and Digimon fan. This is set after Digimon Season 2 (02), and about two years before Dragon Ball GT. We'll be switching every chapter, so keep on your toes. Also, the time in the Z dimension will be faster than the one in Digimon dimension. -R80


TK was glad when the last bell rang, ending school for the day. Now's my chance! He and Kari were in the same last class together without the other new Digi-Destined, especially Ken and Davis. Lately, Kari was usually hanging around either one of them or both and never with TK anymore.

They can't get in my way this time, TK thought as he approached Kari. "Hey, Kari. Got a minute?"

The girl smiled warmly at him. "Sure, TK. What's up?"

"Well, I was wondering if you and I could study together for the big math test tomorrow?"

Kari's smile faded. "I'm sorry, TK, but Ken and Davis are helping me study. I'm meeting them at Ken's. If you want, I could ask them if you could join us..."

TK shook his head. "No," he said in a slight sad tone, hiding his disappointment. "That's okay. You know the old saying: 'Three's company and four's a crowd.'" With that, he quickly left the room.

Kari was trying to figure out what he had said last, and tried to follow him. "TK, wait-!" she shouted, but he was gone from sight.

"Kari?"

The girl spun around to see Ken looking at her, with Davis right behind him. "Is something wrong?"

Kari said, "Did you two see TK out here?"

Davis frowned at this. Despite that Kari was hanging more with him, and sometimes Ken, Kari still worried about TK. "I didn't see him," he said through his grit teeth."

"I did," Ken said. "But he took off in a hurry for some reason. Did he say something to you?"

Kari was about to tell them what he had said just before he left, but decided not to. "No, it's nothing. Well, we might as well go study."

Ken didn't believe Kari's denial. He had sensed that TK was becoming jealous since Kari wasn't spending time with him lately. I have myself to blame for that, the former Digimon Emperor thought. And Davis as well. It is obvious that he hates TK because he's so close to Kari. Maybe I should try to help TK and Kari get together... "Say, why don't we ask TK to join us for our study group?"

Kari tried to smile, but she knew what TK's answer would be. "Good idea, Ken. Luckily, his home is on the way to yours."

Now Davis was steamed. Just great! It's bad enough Ken'll be there because it's his place, but TC, too?!

TK sat on his bed, cursing his rotten luck. I should have told her I would, but then Davis and I might get into a fight. Dammit, why do Davis and Ken have to always get in the way?! Kari and I haven't had a moment together since we helped rebuild the Digital World. He then shifted his head to see his math book on his desk.

"Might as well study," he said to the silence as he reached out and took his book. Suddenly, his mother came in without knocking. "Some friends are here," she said. "They want to know if you want to study with them for the test tomorrow."

TK looked up at his mom. "First of all, please knock next time, mom? And second, I'd rather study by myself, but thanks anyway."

Mrs. Takaishi gave a curious look at her son. "TK, are you sure? It's Kari."

"I'm sure, mom. And please tell her that I'm sorry I bothered her." With that, TK resumed his studying as his mom sighed and left. After five minutes, he sighed heavily, closed his book, and put it back on his desk. His eyes then caught a glimpse of an old picture from years ago. It was from after he and the other original Digi-Destined left the Digital World and ended up in an all-new dimension.

TK remembered it well. They had met a boy named Gohan, who was a powerful fighter due to the fact that he was half-Saiyan. The Saiyans, as TK had learned, were a race of fierce fighters that once spread terror across the universe until they were all wiped out save for a handful, including Gohan's dad, Goku. Goku had made many enemies, including an evil scientist named Dr. Gero, who had built several Androids to kill Goku.

Sadly, Goku had indeed died at the hands of an Android named Cell, but Gohan had destroyed Cell and avenged his father's death. Dr. Gero was dead, too, but one of his computers had made more Androids, and the kids had to help Gohan destroy them. In the end, the kids were sent back home with items called Dragon Balls, which summoned a giant dragon that granted two wishes.

TK stared at the photo. He was standing between Kari and Gohan. "How are you doing, Gohan?" he said to the picture. "I wonder if you're going through the same problems I am? Doubt it, though. You must have girls flocking at your feet since you're a great fighter."

13-year-old Pan was up in the attic, looking through countless boxes that her father kept. "Nothing but junk," she muttered as she opened another box. Her eye then caught something. It was an old photo of her dad and some of the other fighters, plus some other little kids. Her father was wearing a dogi that resembled her old one when she was five.

"What's that you have there?"

Pan whirled around to see her father at the attic steps, smiling at her. "Just an old photo, dad," she said, holding it out to him. "I think you're in it."

Gohan took the photo and examined it carefully. He smiled at the memories. "Yes," he said. "It is me, back when I was eleven. I haven't seen this picture in a very long time."

"Who are the other kids in there, dad?"

"Those eight were a group called the Digi-Destined. They each had a special monster friend called Digimon, who were able to change into bigger, stronger versions of themselves. They helped me and the other Z Fighters defeat several evil Androids back then."

Pan was somewhat interested. "What happened to them?"

Gohan sighed. "They were sent home using the Dragon Balls. You see, they came from another dimension, and had accidentally got stuck in ours. So, we helped them get home. I haven't seen them since they left years ago. I think their names were..." he pointed to each kid as he spoke their names. "Tai, Sora, Matt, Joe, Izzy, Mimi, Kari, and TK."

Pan looked at the small boy standing next to her young father. "TK? That's a cool name..."

Gohan stared at the picture. I wonder how those guys are getting along in their own world?



Only the beginning...

Well, that's enough from me for now. DD will take over for part 1. Later, and please review!
