Okay all I am only going to put the disclaimer here cause I don't want to type the same thing over and over and over. So listen please.
I do not own digimon (just the action figures) I never will (no matter how hard we click our heals and wish that one just ain't happening)
And I never will (duh!) So don't sue I only have a large action figure collection and comic collection wait you may want those if you read this... so please just don't.
This Story takes place several years later all the kids have grown up and such.
Please be kind this is my first digimon fic.

Prologue
Our world

Tai's quiet reverie had been broken by Agumon's insistent calls. He had been walking down the street trying to think of what to give Sora for her birthday when he realized that Agumon was desperately trying to get his attention.
Then the earth shook.
"What was that!?" Tai shouted as he fell to the ground.
"What I've been trying to warn you about!" A frustrated Agumon yelled as he was trying to steady himself. "There's a giant digimon attacking buildings."
"Ugh.. .. Sorry pal." He hadn't even noticed all Tai could do was curse himself for not paying attention as he got to his feet. "Whoa...." He said quietly looking around. The street was now blanketed in a thick white mist that made the buildings nearby almost disappear. "When did the fog come in?"
"Your guess is as good as mine." Agumon answered still trying to get Tai to react to the approaching danger. The grown man beside him may have been immersed in the fog but it didn't take long for him to react when a second boom shook the earth.
"Common we need to get out of this narrow street." The street he had been walking down was almost an alleyway with small shops they had been going through the nearby shops for ideas for a present to grab quick because they where already late for a party everyone was giving Sora.
Agumon ran ahead of Tai hoping to protect his friend from any danger ahead. He knew Tai wouldn't turn and run from this problem.


The Digital World - File Island


"Wait for me!" a small girl with a camera around her neck yelled as she chased a blonde shaggy haired boy. Her cousin Yousuke who was about 4 years older then her signed and stopped as she caught up Kaoru smiled sweetly at him and ran past him with her digimon shortly behind her. The small brown creature looked like a fox with a purple collar and boots to match.
"Hey you just said to wait." He protested wondering where her brother was and why wasn't he here to keep an eye on her. His digimon, which looked like a smaller version of Gabumon but was grey with light green, stripes and had a silver underbelly and horn, ran past him. He realized he was the one being left behind by a 7-year-old and ran to catch up. Today was his aunt Sora's birthday so the adults sent the kids along with Aunt Mimi to prepare for a party in the digital world. Everyone was late.
The two children found the lakeside area that everyone had prepared for the party, but the others where still not there yet. Mimi had choose the spot because she said it was the first place that they had camped out when she first came to the digital world. The lake was very calm and pristine looking and had a nice view so no one minded despite the odd explanation. Mimi was about beside herself with worry over the others as she sat brushing her daughter's hair. Her daughter Momoko looked just like Mimi but defiantly had her father's spirit.
Michael had been there earlier with them but Mimi sent him with Kiki, Izzy's daughter and Kiele, Joe's son to get Genai for the party. Kiki was Kaoru's age and Kiele was a year older then Yousuke. Their mothers had been best friends when they where children and did everything together. Up till last year that is. They were in a car wreck with a drunk driver. The driver walked away but the two friends didn't. It had been very hard for the circle of friends because they had brought Sakura and Tae in so easily. In fact they where both bridesmaids for Sora and Tai's wedding, and for Matt and Elspeth's wedding.
Yousuke's mother Elspeth was a famous archeologist. Her and Matt met in collage and got married shortly after Tai and Sora. They unfortunately don't get to spend as much time as they like with Matt's touring schedule and Elspeth's own schedule. Right now she was in Cairo on a dig but promised to be home in a couple of days. She tried to be able to come home sooner but that wasn't possible.
Because of his parent's schedule Yousuke got to spend a lot of time with his cousins Kaoru and Enishi. Enishi looked just like his dad, TK but has his mom, Kari's personality as Kaoru has her mom's looks and her dad's personality. Enishi had just turned 10 last month but he seemed years older then what he really was.
Yousuke could see Enishi and Shiro coming over the opposite hill from him. Shiro is defiantly his father's son. Not only does he have his father's looks but also he has no trace of his mother in him what so ever. Davis married Megumi shortly after starting his business with the noodle cart. Megumi's cousin had been kidnapped MaloMyotismon when circle had to fight him while they were kids. Davis met Megumi when she came looking for her cousin and after that they were inseparable.
The four met at the table where Mimi was nervously brushing an obviously annoyed Momoko's hair. She looked at them and when they shook their head she put the brush down and sighed. Everyone was very late.
"Don't worry Momma." Momoko said jumping up before her mother could get at her head again. "Kenshin, Daisy, Emory and Sakura are still looking for them." The child was defiantly calmer then her mother had been at that age.
Mimi smiled at the kids in front of her. "I'm not too worried." She was actually very worried.
Shiro was poking at a box of melting ice cream as his digimon Icecubmon licked at another. "This stuff will be useless by the time they get here." He announced in a sad tone. He had been looking forward to the ice cream.
Palomon looked up at Mimi as stood up from the stump she was sitting on. "Why don't we go ahead and eat it. It will help us pass the time, Mimi." Mimi nodded and smiled at Palomon as the others cheered.
Enishi's digimon who was a blue male Salamon looked up at him and he sighed. "Don't worry Enishi." He said. "It won't get you any where that way."
"Okay." He said flashing him a smile.
"Look there's Daisy and Sakura." Kaoru said Pointing to the sky across the lake. They were riding Birdramon and hanging on tightly to their own digimon. Sora had sent her digimon with Mimi because they had told her that she was going to do some work on primary village as an excuse to keep the party a secret. Sora thought it would be nice for Biyomon to see her friends in the digital world. Sakura is Tai and Sora's oldest daughter who is one of the oldest of the digidestine children at 13. Daisy is Ken and Yolei's youngest for right now till Yolei has her baby. Daisy is Kaoru's age and her best friend. They go to the same school and are normally seen in each other's company. Daisy's digimon looks like a redbird with gold collar and a belt with lots of pouches.
"Kenshin and Emory are coming." Sakura announced sliding down from her perch on Birdramon's foot. "We didn't find anyone." She said , but the look on Daisy's face said she didn't have to. When Shiro handed her a bowl of melting Ice cream she smiled and started eating and feeding Robinmon while she was at it.
As Birdramon turned back into Biyomon, Sakura took a bowl of mostly melted Ice cream from Shiro and let her Yokomon and Biyomon eat it. She has always disliked ice cream. It came from an incident when Sora was in the hospital having Kenshin on her birthday. She was so upset she was forgotten she stayed up all night and ate every bit of the ice cream her parents bought for her party. Three gallons is a lot for anyone let alone a little kid.
"Well when Genai gets here I will go to the real world and find out what is happening." Mimi announced." Giving the others a smile "And they better have a really good excuse."
"Yeah they let the ice cream melt." Daisy said trying to make light of the subject. That earned her a few smiles.
"Hey!" Emory yelled running to the group. Puffing from being out of breath he put down his digimon Nyankomon which looked like a small cat with bat wings and a tail. Nyankomon's tail had blue stripes and he had blue eyes but the rest of him was black. Emory was the same age as Sakura. His parents got together and were married before anyone else's was. They were married before college but waited to have kids because of his grandparents being so worried about them being too young. "Everyone's so late Aunt Mimi." All the kids called her that except her own it was just something that came naturally but no one knew why.
"Yeah!" Kenshin said in agreement. He had his father's looks but his hair was red and stuck out like his dad's did when he was young. Kenshin's digimon Terriormon which looked like Willis' Terriormon (another family friend) except he was grey and wore a pair of goggles that Kenshin gave him looked at Shiro ,who had ice cream all over his face and then some, started laughing. This made everyone looked at the ice cream covered Shiro who simply gave Icubmon a confused look. It was Icecubmon who had managed to turn an entire box of melted Ice cream on his head and was now in the process of trying to lick it off himself that really got the group laughing.
"Now that's a messy mon." Kitsumon laughed.
"Ug what a bad pun...." Kaoru laughed at her digimon who was also in the process of dumping melting ice cream on herself.


Chapter 1- Disappearances

Our World

Kari was close behind a waddling Yolei as they left the store. They would have been in the digital world by now if Yolei hadn't insisted they stop at her family's store for a few things. Cody stood at the car door and held it open for her as she tried her best to slide herself into the seat. With her now 7-month pregnant belly she felt as big as a blimp even if everyone insisted she wasn't. Ken smiled at her from the driver's seat. "Better now?" he asked. She nodded back happily.
"Good now let's get this digiparty on the road." Hawkmon said from the backseat as Kari and Cody took their places on each side of the digimon. That's when they felt the ground shake.
"Whoa!" Kari said hugging Gatomon. "What's that!"
"Forget that where did this fog come from?" Yolei asked bracing herself against the dashboard.
"I don't like the looks of this." Ken said quietly as he put the car into drive. When they turned the corner they where greeted with a very surprising sight of nothing. The street that was full just a few moments ago now was empty.
"Where did all the cars go?" Cody wondered not really expecting an answer.
"Where are all the people? This place was packed before we stopped." Armodillomon added. Kari at this point had pulled out her cell phone and began dialing.
"Who are you going to call?" Gatomon asked
"Anyone." She calmly answered as she hung up and dialed again. Cody tensely watched her face as Ken drove down the deserted street.

*********************

Izzy had been trying to get Sora into the digital world without her figuring out what they where planning for her. He wanted to curse Mimi and Tai for leaving Joe and him up to the task. The problem was just as he tried to take her into the digital world the gate collapsed. He could hear Sora's grumbling as she paced back and forth. She was now worried about getting her kids back.
"Don't worry, the kids are in good hands." Joe said trying to sooth her. Gommomon simply laughed at the irony of Joe saying that.
"I know, but... but..." she took a deep breath and stopped pacing. "They're my kids." She said before resuming her well-worn path.
They had been in this spot when they tried to get into the digital world to help fight Malomyotismon. It hadn't made Sora this nervous then, but she's very protective of her kids. Since the fight all of them had been able to come through the gate at this location without fail. "I wonder if any of the others on the other side can open the gate from there?" Joe asked in a hopeful voice. He was also a little worried about his own son.
"I can't get through on my laptop." Izzy said as he plucked away at the keys. "The email I send keeps bouncing back." He puffed at his computer in frustration. "And my digivice isn't working."
"Why don't we try getting ahold of Davis and use the D3 terminal?" Joe said before Sora really got worried. The others just looked at Joe. "What?"
Sora without a word pulled out her cellphone to call, but realized she had it off. After mumbling something she turned on the power and it rang. "Hello?" she answered it. She then started to bite her lip as she listened to the speaker. "Kari? Everyone what?" worry really began to creep into her face. Izzy stopped messing with his laptop and stood up. Dusting off his jeans he walked over to the others with tentomon close.
"What is it Sora?" Tentomon asked.
She looked at the others with a pensive face. "Are you sure Kari?" after a brief pause she started explaining to Joe and Izzy about the strange fog and empty streets. As she began telling Kari the problem with the gate Izzy turned back to his laptop.
"This is strange." He mumbled. Then turning to the others he announces. "I think they're connected somehow. We need to find the other digidestined and try to meet somewhere." Sora then immediately began discussing meeting places with Kari as Izzy grabbed his computer.
"The TV station would be perfect." She proclaimed. "Uh... do you think you will have any trouble getting there in the fog? Good. See ya there." She then hung up the phone. "Come on guys we're meeting at the TV station."

*********************

"Tai, I can't see a thing in this fog." Agumon proclaimed at the end of the alleyway.
"Neither can I. Where is that monster?" Tai said as he emerged from the small street. He was very shocked at what he found. "Where is everyone?" he asked looking around.
"Good question." Agumon answered in equal shock that a previously crowded street could be so empty so fast.
"Better digivolve." Tai said as he continued to look for some sign of a monster.
"Got it! Agumon digivol... " Agumon was cut off as a dark beam hit him and slung him across the street.
"Agumon!" Tai yelled running after his friend "Agumon speak to me." He said as he scooped up the digimon and held him close.
"Stop the merry-go-round please." He mumbled into Tai's shirt.
"I got you pal just rest." Tai held Agumon so he couldn't see the dark shape now forming in the fog. "Well perfect time for company." He muttered as he tried to figure out what to do now. The first thing he realized he needed to do was get this thing out of the city. If there were anyone around they would get hurt. "Hey Ugly." He shouted. "This way!" he then turned down the street to lead the monster to the bay and began running for all he was worth.



The Digital World


Momoko was trying to dry her digimon, Lopmon, as the others sat around in a circle listening to Genai's explanation.
"I don't know how it collapsed the gates, but it did."
"But how do we get to the others?" Mimi asked grabbing Michael's hand.
"I think there's a way to reopen the gates, but it won't be easy."
"We can do it!" Kiele said as he jumped up dumping sealmon off his lap. He then dived for the digimon whispering his apologies.
"He's right." Yousuke chimed in before anyone else could. "You guys where no older then us when you went through the digital world."
"Yes your right." Mimi said smiling at him. Then giving Michael a determined look she asked Genai, "What do we do?"
"I knew you guys would say that!" he smiled. "Give me your laptop Kiki." The girl then pulled her laptop from the backpack her father gave her. He said it was the one he use to carry and even showed her the battle scars it received in the digital world. Her digimon Ladybugmon jumped onto her shoulder as she stood up. The girl handed Genai her computer and then patted her digimon on the back.
"I'm going to download the key gate locations. You will all have to split up and go to these locations. From there you should be able to use your digivices to reopen and stabilize the gates, but you have to do them at the same time to stabilize them." He then handed the laptop back to the girl. "Your digivices will lead you there now."
"All right. Let's do this. I still want some cake." Shiro proclaimed excitedly.
"We can split up into six groups." Michael proclaimed as he looked over Kiki's shoulder.
"We need to hurry." Kenshin stated "Mommy will be worried."
