A Digimon Adventures/Digimon Tamers Crossover
Unity
Chapter 1: Crossroads
THE TAMERS WORLD...
In a dark realm existed a single figure. His body was surrounded in flame. In form, he was like that of a bird. His body was crimson red in color, and ordained in yellow markings. On his beaked face were four eyes, closed.
... and then they opened, radiating crimson far stronger than the fire raging around his body...
The massive phoenix spread his four wings, dispersing his fire. The one who was known as the Sovereign hissed quietly.
He felt... uneasy. Something had come...
That did not belong...
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Raaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwk!"
The freak of nature that was then known only as "The Deva" flew through the streets of Shinjuuku, Tokyo, electricity sparking from the diodes built into its armor. Growling, the crimson dinosaur chasing after it stopped, gathering fire in his jaws.
"Pyro Blaster!" he screamed, expelling the inferno towards his foe. It struck the armor of the giant bird, not causing any damage at all.
"My turn!" came a shout, as a green and white, rabbit-like creature lept at the beast. "Bunny Pummel!" he called, energy powering his fist. He struck the armor of the beast, causing a rather modest-sized dent in its side. The bird cawed angrily.
"Positron Pulse!"
Electricity erupted from the diodes, striking his attacker. The digimon known as Gargomon screamed, and fell to the ground.
"Gargomon!" came a cry from the battle's side-lines. A blue-haired boy started to run to his partner, only to be held back by a brown-haired boy wearing goggles. The gigantic chicken laughed, preparing to stomp Gargomon into the pavement with his massive talons.
"Digi-modify!" came a cry from another child, this one a girl with red hair. "Hypersonic, activate!"
With that, a yellow blur ran at the monster-bird, striking it. The speed and force behind the blow caused him to topple over. Growling, the chicken screamed out "Positron Pulse!" sending out the concentrated beams of thunder.
The fox-like Kyubimon used the speed she had gained to her advantage to leap away from the monstrous bird.
"Growlmon, now!"
With that, Growlmon looked up at where Kyubimon had directed him to earlier. Opening his mouth, he called out "Pyro Blaster!", once again spewing flame. It struck a small water-tower built on top of a building. Water fell out and down the side of the building, straight towards the chicken digimon.
The electricity sparking on his diodes immediately conducted through the water, and into Shinduramon. In fright, he activated his attack, causing him to be shocked even more. With an agonized scream, the bird exploded into data.
Kyubimon sighed in relief. She and Growlmon walked up to Gargomon who was slowly getting up. "You ok Gargomon?" Growlmon asked him.
"Been better," the dog-bunny sighed. "'Least We got him..."
Takato, Rika, and Henry ran up to their digimon. "Gargomon!" Henry shouted. "Are you-"
"I'll be alright Henry," Gargomon said. "Just gonna need some rest... hey, it's no worse than being used as Suzie's dress up doll."
"What was that thing?" Rika asked.
"Evidentally, 'The Day-vuh," Takato said. "It's like Santiramon and Mihiramon, apparently..."
Rika nodded, and looked down at her digivice. "That's why I couldn't get a clear reading on it... just like with the snake and tiger. But... we eventually got data on it. But not this time...."
"May have something to do with his electric powers," Henry said, "but I sincerily doubt that..."
"Well, I say we all go home... we could use a good rest," Takato said. Then he added, "Especially you Gargomon...
Henry's partner sighed and nodded. "We'll have to go down into the tunnel and wait to de-digivolve though..."
Kyubimon turned to Rika. "You going to be alright getting home, Rika?"
Rika nodded. "Sure."
"I'll lead the guys there," Takato said to them. "See ya later..."
The trio nodded to one another, and Rika and Henry walked away from Takato. The goggle-bearing boy sighed, and began to lead the three champions away.
Suddenly, Growlmon snarled, and turned his head back. At that time, Takato felt a wave of cold come over his body.
"Uhm.. what is it Growlmon?"
"Takato... I thought I saw something...."
"It's probably just your imagination," Kyubimon said.
"Yeah," Takato said, giving an unsure nod. "Probably was..."
... the human and the three digimon moved on. Little did they know that Growlmon had seen something, and it was watching them.
"Most interesting... yessss..."
-----------------------------------------------------------
THE ADVENTURES WORLD....
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sora Takenouchi sighed, poking the simple little flower that sat in the vase. It was yet another boring day in her mother's flower shop. One of many. Still, the teenager admitted, it was right to stay and help her mother while her father was away...
... he had a habit of being away alot.
Suddenly, her mother walked out. There was an angry look on her face, as she was uncharacteristically scowling
"Mom?" Sora asked. "Is something wrong?"
Mrs. Takenouchi looked at her daughter. "... you can go now Sora..." she said. "No more work today. I can close up myself..."
Sora's eye-brows lowered into an expression of worry. "Mom, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Takenouchi sighed, and looked away. "Sora... I want to be alone right now. I don't mean anything mean by this, but please go..."
Sora sighed, nodding. "Yes, mom..."
----------------------------------------------------------
Agumon grunted as he fell over ontop of the soccer ball. Bewildered, the orange-dinosaur digimon looked up at Veemon, who was standing just a few feet away.
"How the heck do Tai and Davis play this?" he asked his fellow digimon.
Veemon sighed, and raised one of his short, stumpy blue legs. "Longer legsh I'm gueshing," he said with a sad sigh.
Wormmon spoke up next. "You're lucky to have legs," he commented. "All I have to move around on are these stumpy little claws.."
Not too far away from the trio of digimon were Taichi Kamiya, Davis Motomiya, Ken Ichijouji, and Izzy Izumi. Tai was sitting against a tree, a pair of sunglasses over his eyes. Izzy, though now older, was sitting crosslegged with his computer in his lap, much as he had in his younger days. Ken and Davis were watching the three digimon trying to play soccer; Tentomon, no where near the other digimon, was lying at Izzy's side, curled up and half asleep.
Once before, the digi-destined would have tried to keep their digimon a secret during an outting such as this. But times had changed. Not only was the existance of digimon public knowledge, thanks to MaloMyotismon, humans no longer considered them monsters, as many humans already had companions of them of their own.
It was a turn of events no one had seen coming. Digi-eggs, appearing in the real world to non-destined humans. Still, it was for the better. Now no one would get upset about seeing a miniature tyrannosaurus walking by Tai's side.
Not many things had changed, in the general sense. Sure, the digi-destined were older. And they weren't fighting evil every other day of the week. And Izzy had grown his hair back to the way it was during his preteens...but the digi-destined were still digi-destined. Even though more humans had partners, they didn't have a digivice. And they couldn't enter the digital world, either. Thus, the Japanese Digi-destined, and their counterparts world-wide were still called on to settle disturbances, which were mostly minor, in the digital world.
In fact...
Izzy was alerted to another e-mail that had been sent his way. He looked at the address, sighing to himself. Gennai again. Once, you could never find the guy. Now, he wouldn't leave anyone alone...
"Hey Tai," Izzy said. "Guess what. Another e-mail from Gennai."
Tai grinned. "There's another brushfire he wants put out, eh?"
"Seems like it. And he says he wants everyone to be there..."
Tai shrugged, reaching into his pocket, pulling out a cellphone. "Better call the others..."
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Matt, phone!"
Matt Ishida sighed, looking up from his guitar-playing. "Who is it dad?" he asked.
"It's Tai," came Mr. Ishida's answer.
Matt frowned. Why was Tai calling, especially after... what had transpired a week ago. But then, Matt suddenly realized. Probably Digi-destined business again...
"I'll get it in here," Matt called to his father. He walked over and picked up the reciever of the phone on his desk.
"Matt here."
".. hey Matt. It's Tai..."
"I already know that, Tai," Matt said begrudgingly. "Now get to the point and tell me why you're calling."
"I see you're still a bit bitter, Matt. I-"
"Please Tai, I'm not in the mood to discuss what happened last week," Matt stated. "Why did you call?"
He heard Tai sigh on the other end of the line. "Well.. Izzy got an e-mail from Gennai. There's something new our esteemed mentor wants us to check out."
"What, does he want all of us?"
"... well, yes."
It was Matt's turn to sigh. "Well then, I'd better come. Where are we supposed to meet?"
"In the park. We'll use Izzy's lap-top."
"Alright. I'm on my way..." With that, he put down the reciever, not allowing Tai to say anymore. "Gabumon!" he called out.
Matt's digimon partner wandered into the room. "Yeah Matt?" he asked.
"We have to go to the park," Matt explained as he reached for his jacket. As he put it on, he added, "Tai says there's something Gennai wants us to take care of..."
"Oh,"was Gabumon's single reply.
-----------------------------------------------------------
THE TAMERS WORLD...
-----------------------------------------------------------
The deva known as Pajiramon shifted uncomfortably. "Vajramon, why are we out here? These beasts are making me nervous..."
"I agree," came her partner, Vajramon's, reply. "It's very... unnerving..."
As if in response, a nearby cow mooed.
"As for why we're out her, Pajiramon," Vajramon added, "we're here to meet up with Khumbiramon, remember?"
"I know that!" Pajiramon said, thwapping him in the back of the head. "It was rhetori- eh, oh never mind."
At that moment, a geyser of vapor suddenly shot out of the ground. The field they were standing in erupted into chaos as the nearby animals, frightened by what was going on, fled in terror. Vajramon and Pajiramon sat there calmly, regardless.
After the digital field stopped forming, a shadow appeared in it. From it came a loud, shrill, nasal cry. "Nyaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Pajiramon rolled her eyes. "Khumbiramon," she said, the closest thing she would give to a greeting.
The rat deva emerged from the already shrinking cloud of digital vapor. "Nyaaaaaah..." he screeched, a high nasal tone to his voice. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long, my comrades..."
Vajramon grunted, crossing his arms. "That's an understatement. But now, why did the great sovereign send us out here to greet you? This is nowhere near the city, or those accursed humans and their defiled digimon partners..."
"Yessss," Khumbiramon said. "The gateway for us provided by the human device has begun to close. I couldn't bio-emerge into the real world from there, and had to open a gateway from another area of the digital world..."
"I hope it didn't cause too much exertion on your part," Pajiramon said.
The weaker deva sneered. "This is important Pajiramon. That gateway isn't supposed to close. Our master has been keeping it open... some kind of external force must be doing this."
Vajramon grunted. "You must be joking. What kind of power could rival that of our master?"
"I'm not joking. And in there, my esteemed colleague, lies the problem..."
-----------------------------------------------------------
THE ADVENTURES WORLD...
-----------------------------------------------------------
Yolei Inoue ran up to the other digi-destined, finally stopping to catch her breath, as her partner Hawkmon landed beside him. "Geez, Yolei," Davis said. "You look like you ran a mile."
Yolei didn't reply to him, saying "I haven't kept anyone waiting, have I?"
"Nope," Izzy said, sitting on a park bench with his lap-top. "We're waiting for Matt to get here..."
Yolei nodded, looking around. Davis was leaning against a tree, as Veemon and Wormmon began to converse with Hawkmon, and Agumon and Biyomon were talking as well. Cody was standing quietly, as usual, Armadillomon at his side. Ken was standing not too far from his partner, hands in his pockets. Kari and TK, plus their partners, were standing near Tai and Sora, the four conversing with Mimi (on vacation) and Joe. Gomamon and Palmon were standing next to them as well. Yolei sighed, and plopped down on the bench next to Izzy, having finally caught her breath.
"So, what're we doing this time?" Yolei asked Izzy.
"Didn't say," Izzy replied. "But then again, did he ever tell us anything right away?"
Yolei chuckled lightly. "Got that right..."
Suddenly, she spied Matt walking up the side-walk towards the group of them. Yolei bit her lower lip.
Sora and Tai were the first to acknowledge his presence. "Hi Matt," Sora said, hesitantly.
"Hello Sora," Matt said, obviously not trying to sound too indifferant. He put his hands into his jacket pockets, and turned to Izzy. "Seems we're all here. We gonna get on with this?"
Izzy nodded, turning his lap top to face everyone. "One of you guys care to do the honors?"
Yolei pulled out her D-3. "I'll do it. Digi-port, open!"
A bright flash filled the immediate area. When it dimmed, the digi-destined were gone.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Agumon gasped in horror, as he saw what lay before him. They'd entered the digital world on File Island, a place Agumon knew well. It was exactly the same, except Infinity Mountain was now gone, bits and pieces of it scattered across the sky. The pieces were slowly rising into a hole that seemed as if it had been ripped open, literally.
"What the?!" Davis said, eyes wide.
"I don't think this is one of the usual events Gennai calls us to handle.." Tai said, stepping forward.
"Gee, you think?" Matt said, under his breath.
"We'd better contact him," Izzy said.
"That won't be neccessary..."
The digi-destined turned, the original eight recognizing the deep familiar voice. Standing before them, sure enough, was an anthropormorphic lion. A digimon the original seven children knew well, and whom the newer generation had heard much about.
Leomon.
"Leomon!" Tai cried. "I heard you were at the Primary Village, but I didn't expect to see you here. or in this form..."
"I digivolved fast," Leomon replied. "But that is not important. I have been asked by Gennai to meet you all once you arrived. Come, he's waiting."
Tai nodded. "Lead the way..."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Azulongmon was in a distressed mood as he flied slowly through the skies of the digital world. The wise, majestic digital god was troubled.
Once again, the safety of two worlds was in jeapordy. The digital world was being slowly picked apart, piece by piece, being carried not to the real world, but to another dimension entirely. What's more, for the first time in his long existance, Azulongmon had no clue why.
He and his comrades, the other four digi-gods, had detirmined where these tears breaking apart the digital world led to. But without going themselves, they had no way of finding what lay on the other side. And they could not leave this world. They were bound to the digital world, and could never leave its regions.
... so he instructed Gennai to gather the core digi-destined, and go with them to this other world...
Azulongmon felt like a coward. Yes. One of the strongest digimon in existance felt like a coward...
But it was the only way...
The blue dragon descended from the sky. He'd reached the area he'd come to investigate.
... he found he was too late...
The location... the ocean, the islands... all merely a dissassembled piece of data. The tears were prevalent here. He dared not stray far, for fear of coming apart like all the data here.
Azulongmon wondered... how many digimon had been killed here?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Gennai paced back and forth, hands behind his back as he waited.
The ancient one (perfectly applicable though he didn't look it) wondered when it would end. The saving of worlds. The fighting. And what's more, he felt guilty that he'd willingly brought children, both human and digimon, into this...
How much differant could their lives... could there lives have been... if he, azulongmon, and the other Harmonius Ones never made them digi-destined?
... would they even have lives at all?
But it mattered not, Gennai knew. Time could not be rewritten.
It was then that Gennai heard a voice calling out to him. He looked up, seeing Tai and Davis, followed by Leomon and the other digi-destined, running toward him.
"Gennai!" Tai said once again, once they were within a few yards. "What's going on?"
"Hello Tai," Gennai began. "I see you've noticed what happened to Infinity Mountain..."
"It's kind of easy to notice," the original goggle-boy said.
"Well, it's not just Infinity Mountain," said Gennai. "It's all of File Island. And that's not even the extent of it. These... tears are opening up all over the digital world, breaking it apart bit by bit..."
The digi-destined all looked at one another uneasily. "Do you know why?"
"Well, you children are no strangers to the concept of other worlds," Gennai said. "What's going on here is... that the barriers between various realities have been breached. In a way, the fabric of the digital world's reality is being ripped apart, the pieces being drawn into another world."
"Well, then it's obvious what we have to do," Matt said. "Find a way to seal those things."
"Impossible," Gennai said. "Any sort of digital data that comes near them gets torn apart. And when you humans come to the digital world, you are modified into data. It is dangerous for both you and your partners."
The digi-destined's expressions, which had been slipping towards despair, had now reached that emotion. "Then what can we do...?" Davis asked.
"Azulongmon has proposed a way," Gennai said. "He knows how to reach the... other world the tears lead to. But he doesn't know what lies on the other side, so there is some risk involved..."
"Then let's do it." Tai said abruptly.
Gennai sighed. "Wait.. you do not know the risks... who knows how long this endeavor will last. And what ever awaits us may be too strong for us to handle..."
"Gennai," Davis said, "we've faced impossible odds before. Whether or not we win or loose, it's the fact that we face them..."
That was uncharacteristic of Davis, due to the fact he was usually so goofy. It suprised Gennai...
The others quickly agreed with him. Tai walked up, standing at his protege's side. "I agree with Davis... someone has to do this..."
"But..."
"No buts Gennai," Tai said. "We'll do this. Just give us some time to tell our parents and we'll be ready to go."
When that was said, Gennai turned away from the digi-destined. "I'm afraid.. that's going to be impossible..."
"What?!" Tai exclaimed. "Why?!"
"Children, the wearing down of the digital world caused by the tears is beginning to make time here flow more quickly again... by the time you came back from the real world, years would have passed here. The wearing down of the digital world progress as quickly as normal, earth time, but... the digital world would undergo many changes in the time you were gone. Who knows what may happen..."
"Then why didn't you act sooner?!" Tai said.
"We did, Tai," Gennai replied. "But... by the time we realized what was going on, the speeding up of time had begun again. Why, it's been a full week since I sent you that letter to come here, in digital world time."
Again, the digi-destined looked at each other, looks of distress on their faces. Sora walked up to Tai, taking his hand.
Once again, it was Davis speaking up that made the differance.
"... I'll still do it..."
Everyone looked at him.
"What?" Davis exclaimed. "Sure, we may never see our families again, and they'll never know what happened to us, but it's not like I'm going to just giive up like this. We've faced psychotic spiders and mummy side-kicks. Internet demons. And a whole bunch of other guys. Does that mean we should roll over and just give up?!"
The digi-destined began nodding in agreement. Tai turned back to look at Gennai. "I suppose that's your answer Gennai."
Gennai nodded, somewhat solemnly. "Come then. We will go... Leomon, you may depart now."
"If I may," Leomon said, "I'd like to go with you."
Gennai blinked. "But why?"
"I owe a great deal to these children," Leomon said. "My life and freedom is among them. I want to go with them, try to repay to them what I owe."
"Leomon.." Mimi said, placing a hand on the lion man's shoulder. "Are you... sure? I mean, you could die again... and not get reformatted this time."
"Better to die aiding your friend and world, than to stay and wait for approaching death," Leomon replied. "My mind is made up."
"Hey, the more the merrier big guy," Davis said, grinning. But Mimi still sighed, and walked back to Joe.
"Well, then I suppose all is settled," Gennai said. "Let us now go..."
-----------------------------------------------------------
THE TAMERS WORLD
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Guilmo- whoops!"
Takato tripped, falling over as he walked into the area of the Shinjuuku tunnel the digimon were in. Doing so caused him to drop the paper-bag full of bread he was carrying, as well as his case of cards.
He heard a sigh, and then a voice saying, "Here, let me help you." Sure enough, he saw Rika there, kneeling down to help him pick up his stuff.
"Rika," Takato said, somewhat suprised. "I didn't expect to see you here."
Rika shrugged. "I came here to get Renamon," she said, looking over at where Kyubimon was. Both she and Growlmon were asleep, laying at seperate corners of the large room they were in.
"Huh," Takato said. "I thought they would have de-digivolved by now."
Rika stuffed the last of the bread back into the bag. "Well, I'm gonna wait," Rika said. "You leaving?"
"Nah," Takato said, putting away the last of his cards. "No harm in waiting for Growlmon to wake up. I told my parents I'd be gone a while anyway."
Rika nodded. "Suit yourself."
Takato stood up, and picked up his stuff. He and Rika walked over to their respective partners.. The goggle-boy sighed. This was going to be a long wait.
Then, he looked down at his card box, arriving at an idea.
"Hey, uhm, Rika?"
Rika, now leaning against the wall with her arms folded, replied, "Yeah?"
"Hey, uhm.. listen, I know you're into the card game, so... would you mind playing a game against me? To pass the time?"
Rika blinked. "You're kidding, right?"
Takato laughed nervously. "Well, yeah, I hear you're really good," Takato replied. "Ok, so really, really good at the game. But hey, it's better than sitting around and waiting."
Rika stopped to think for a minute. Takato would definately get creamed, she was sure of that. But then again, he was right. It was certainly a better way to spend time that sitting around.
Rika nodded, and walked toward him. "Alright," she said. "You're on..."
Meanwhile, a dark shape, void of substance, watched from the shadows.
Interesting. Most interesting...
-----------------------------------------------------------
THE ADVENTURES WORLD
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Myotismon's castle?"
The digi-destined had come a long way in a short amount of time. Due to some device of Gennai's, they travelled from File Island to Server in a matter of moments. A device that would have come in handy in the digi-destined's early days, had it existed then.
Now, they found themselves at a place they'd never expected to be again.
"Yes. As you know, Myotismon had a gateway between worlds located here. It's what we'll use to travel across worlds.. Now come, my counterparts are awaiting us inside."
"Your counterparts?" Tai asked.
After several minutes, the children had made their way towards the eerily familiar chamber where Myotismon had first crossed over years ago. Sure enough, standing there waiting for them was Jackie, Benjamin, Ilya, Hogan, and Jose, exact clones of Gennai.
Or a part of him, to be more exact.
"Gennai!" Jackie said, once they arrived.
"Hello again, friends," Gennai said. "Do you have the cards?"
It was Hogan who held up the items, handing them to Gennai. "Of course."
"Good. I trust you have told your respective groups about... the arrangements that must be made?"
The five of them nodded.
"Good," Gennai said. He turned to Tai, holding the cards out to him. "Hold these for a moment Tai..."
"Uhm, sure," Tai replied hesitantly.
"What's going on now Gennai?" Yolei asked.
"Well, children, I can go with you to this other world. However, I can't leave while my counterparts are here, and frankly, as individuals, we can't travel like this."
"What does that mean?" Sora asked him.
"Well, years ago, I actually divided myself into seperate beings, so I could more effectively deal with the various tasks I was responsible for."
"Si," said Jose, continuing for Gennai. "However, suprisingly, as our original self, it was easier to maintain our body than it is now. Going to the this other dimension, seperate but linked, would tear apart our digital data."
"And...?" Tai asked.
"To go, we must become one again," Hogan said. "Become the elder Gennai again."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Tai asked them.
"What choice do we have?" Benjamin asked.
"We won't let you children face this on your own," Illya added. "Not like the other times."
"We appreciate that," Sora said. The other digi-destined nodded in agreement.
"Very well," Gennai said. He turned to his counterparts. "Gentlemen... let's get this over with." And with that said, they each joined hands, forming a circle. The six Harmonius Ones closed their eyes, concentrating. A white glow surrounded them.
And in a burst of light, they together...
... when it dimmed, standing their was a thin, hunched over old man, with barely a sprout of hair, a large nose, and a moustache.
Davis and Ken ran up, helping him stand. "Are you alright?"
Gennai nodded. "I'll be alright," he said to them, an uncharacteristic amount of weakness in his voice. "But we must make haste... Tai, arrange the cards on the altar there, as you have there, going from left to right.
Tai nodded, and walked over, doing as Gennai said. He laid them out, until he got to the last one.
"Gennai.." Tai said. "I don't remember this card from before..." He held it up, for the others to see.
It was a digimon. Small and white, its hands were clasped together, as if it were praying. It had large ears, tipped in purple. Also, it had an arrangement of triangles on its forehead, centered around a large red one. It looked like a koala.
"That's a digimon lost to time, Tai," Gennai said. "It existed only at the dawn of the digital world, and hasn't been seen since... it's called Calumon. I know it doesn't fit with the others, but lay it down anyway."
"If you say so," Tai replied. He laid it down on the last spot.
Once he did so, the gigantic pair of doors opened. Light spilled out from behind it, causing the digi-destined to cover their eyes. Tai stood up, walking towards the gateway. Agumon quickly ran up to join him.
Tai looked back at his friends.
"Let's go guys...."
-----------------------------------------------------------
TO BE CONTINUED
-----------------------------------------------------------
Author's notes-
There's the first real chapter folks.
A couple things...
1. As you can see, I've screwed with the continuity. The fight with Shinduramon, the rooster deva, takes place in an entirely differant place. Khumbiramon bio-emerges earlier. So do Pajiramon and Vajramon. If anyone wonders, everything up to the fight with the snake deva, Sandiramon, happened as it did in the series. Oh yeah, and I threw out the 20 years later thing for the digi-destined.
2. About the rather blatantly obvious thing going on with Matt, Sora and Tai. Well, I'll be honest. I broke Matt and Sora up, she got together with Tai, and Matt's nott oo happy with it. But please folks, don't see me as a veangeful Taiora fan. This was written in for a reason, and will affect the story later on. And I won't make Matt a jerk. He'll just be angry.
3. There will be couples in here folks. Two of them will be really important story-wise. But please don't read this just for that. I don't want that to carry the story. I wrote this for other reasons.
That's all for today, folks.

Chapter 1: Crossroads
THE TAMERS WORLD...
In a dark realm existed a single figure. His body was surrounded in flame. In form, he was like that of a bird. His body was crimson red in color, and ordained in yellow markings. On his beaked face were four eyes, closed.
... and then they opened, radiating crimson far stronger than the fire raging around his body...
The massive phoenix spread his four wings, dispersing his fire. The one who was known as the Sovereign hissed quietly.
He felt... uneasy. Something had come...
That did not belong...
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Raaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwk!"
The freak of nature that was then known only as "The Deva" flew through the streets of Shinjuuku, Tokyo, electricity sparking from the diodes built into its armor. Growling, the crimson dinosaur chasing after it stopped, gathering fire in his jaws.
"Pyro Blaster!" he screamed, expelling the inferno towards his foe. It struck the armor of the giant bird, not causing any damage at all.
"My turn!" came a shout, as a green and white, rabbit-like creature lept at the beast. "Bunny Pummel!" he called, energy powering his fist. He struck the armor of the beast, causing a rather modest-sized dent in its side. The bird cawed angrily.
"Positron Pulse!"
Electricity erupted from the diodes, striking his attacker. The digimon known as Gargomon screamed, and fell to the ground.
"Gargomon!" came a cry from the battle's side-lines. A blue-haired boy started to run to his partner, only to be held back by a brown-haired boy wearing goggles. The gigantic chicken laughed, preparing to stomp Gargomon into the pavement with his massive talons.
"Digi-modify!" came a cry from another child, this one a girl with red hair. "Hypersonic, activate!"
With that, a yellow blur ran at the monster-bird, striking it. The speed and force behind the blow caused him to topple over. Growling, the chicken screamed out "Positron Pulse!" sending out the concentrated beams of thunder.
The fox-like Kyubimon used the speed she had gained to her advantage to leap away from the monstrous bird.
"Growlmon, now!"
With that, Growlmon looked up at where Kyubimon had directed him to earlier. Opening his mouth, he called out "Pyro Blaster!", once again spewing flame. It struck a small water-tower built on top of a building. Water fell out and down the side of the building, straight towards the chicken digimon.
The electricity sparking on his diodes immediately conducted through the water, and into Shinduramon. In fright, he activated his attack, causing him to be shocked even more. With an agonized scream, the bird exploded into data.
Kyubimon sighed in relief. She and Growlmon walked up to Gargomon who was slowly getting up. "You ok Gargomon?" Growlmon asked him.
"Been better," the dog-bunny sighed. "'Least We got him..."
Takato, Rika, and Henry ran up to their digimon. "Gargomon!" Henry shouted. "Are you-"
"I'll be alright Henry," Gargomon said. "Just gonna need some rest... hey, it's no worse than being used as Suzie's dress up doll."
"What was that thing?" Rika asked.
"Evidentally, 'The Day-vuh," Takato said. "It's like Santiramon and Mihiramon, apparently..."
Rika nodded, and looked down at her digivice. "That's why I couldn't get a clear reading on it... just like with the snake and tiger. But... we eventually got data on it. But not this time...."
"May have something to do with his electric powers," Henry said, "but I sincerily doubt that..."
"Well, I say we all go home... we could use a good rest," Takato said. Then he added, "Especially you Gargomon...
Henry's partner sighed and nodded. "We'll have to go down into the tunnel and wait to de-digivolve though..."
Kyubimon turned to Rika. "You going to be alright getting home, Rika?"
Rika nodded. "Sure."
"I'll lead the guys there," Takato said to them. "See ya later..."
The trio nodded to one another, and Rika and Henry walked away from Takato. The goggle-bearing boy sighed, and began to lead the three champions away.
Suddenly, Growlmon snarled, and turned his head back. At that time, Takato felt a wave of cold come over his body.
"Uhm.. what is it Growlmon?"
"Takato... I thought I saw something...."
"It's probably just your imagination," Kyubimon said.
"Yeah," Takato said, giving an unsure nod. "Probably was..."
... the human and the three digimon moved on. Little did they know that Growlmon had seen something, and it was watching them.
"Most interesting... yessss..."

THE ADVENTURES WORLD....
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sora Takenouchi sighed, poking the simple little flower that sat in the vase. It was yet another boring day in her mother's flower shop. One of many. Still, the teenager admitted, it was right to stay and help her mother while her father was away...
... he had a habit of being away alot.
Suddenly, her mother walked out. There was an angry look on her face, as she was uncharacteristically scowling
"Mom?" Sora asked. "Is something wrong?"
Mrs. Takenouchi looked at her daughter. "... you can go now Sora..." she said. "No more work today. I can close up myself..."
Sora's eye-brows lowered into an expression of worry. "Mom, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Takenouchi sighed, and looked away. "Sora... I want to be alone right now. I don't mean anything mean by this, but please go..."
Sora sighed, nodding. "Yes, mom..."
----------------------------------------------------------
Agumon grunted as he fell over ontop of the soccer ball. Bewildered, the orange-dinosaur digimon looked up at Veemon, who was standing just a few feet away.
"How the heck do Tai and Davis play this?" he asked his fellow digimon.
Veemon sighed, and raised one of his short, stumpy blue legs. "Longer legsh I'm gueshing," he said with a sad sigh.
Wormmon spoke up next. "You're lucky to have legs," he commented. "All I have to move around on are these stumpy little claws.."
Not too far away from the trio of digimon were Taichi Kamiya, Davis Motomiya, Ken Ichijouji, and Izzy Izumi. Tai was sitting against a tree, a pair of sunglasses over his eyes. Izzy, though now older, was sitting crosslegged with his computer in his lap, much as he had in his younger days. Ken and Davis were watching the three digimon trying to play soccer; Tentomon, no where near the other digimon, was lying at Izzy's side, curled up and half asleep.
Once before, the digi-destined would have tried to keep their digimon a secret during an outting such as this. But times had changed. Not only was the existance of digimon public knowledge, thanks to MaloMyotismon, humans no longer considered them monsters, as many humans already had companions of them of their own.
It was a turn of events no one had seen coming. Digi-eggs, appearing in the real world to non-destined humans. Still, it was for the better. Now no one would get upset about seeing a miniature tyrannosaurus walking by Tai's side.
Not many things had changed, in the general sense. Sure, the digi-destined were older. And they weren't fighting evil every other day of the week. And Izzy had grown his hair back to the way it was during his preteens...but the digi-destined were still digi-destined. Even though more humans had partners, they didn't have a digivice. And they couldn't enter the digital world, either. Thus, the Japanese Digi-destined, and their counterparts world-wide were still called on to settle disturbances, which were mostly minor, in the digital world.
In fact...
Izzy was alerted to another e-mail that had been sent his way. He looked at the address, sighing to himself. Gennai again. Once, you could never find the guy. Now, he wouldn't leave anyone alone...
"Hey Tai," Izzy said. "Guess what. Another e-mail from Gennai."
Tai grinned. "There's another brushfire he wants put out, eh?"
"Seems like it. And he says he wants everyone to be there..."
Tai shrugged, reaching into his pocket, pulling out a cellphone. "Better call the others..."
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Matt, phone!"
Matt Ishida sighed, looking up from his guitar-playing. "Who is it dad?" he asked.
"It's Tai," came Mr. Ishida's answer.
Matt frowned. Why was Tai calling, especially after... what had transpired a week ago. But then, Matt suddenly realized. Probably Digi-destined business again...
"I'll get it in here," Matt called to his father. He walked over and picked up the reciever of the phone on his desk.
"Matt here."
".. hey Matt. It's Tai..."
"I already know that, Tai," Matt said begrudgingly. "Now get to the point and tell me why you're calling."
"I see you're still a bit bitter, Matt. I-"
"Please Tai, I'm not in the mood to discuss what happened last week," Matt stated. "Why did you call?"
He heard Tai sigh on the other end of the line. "Well.. Izzy got an e-mail from Gennai. There's something new our esteemed mentor wants us to check out."
"What, does he want all of us?"
"... well, yes."
It was Matt's turn to sigh. "Well then, I'd better come. Where are we supposed to meet?"
"In the park. We'll use Izzy's lap-top."
"Alright. I'm on my way..." With that, he put down the reciever, not allowing Tai to say anymore. "Gabumon!" he called out.
Matt's digimon partner wandered into the room. "Yeah Matt?" he asked.
"We have to go to the park," Matt explained as he reached for his jacket. As he put it on, he added, "Tai says there's something Gennai wants us to take care of..."
"Oh,"was Gabumon's single reply.
-----------------------------------------------------------
THE TAMERS WORLD...
-----------------------------------------------------------
The deva known as Pajiramon shifted uncomfortably. "Vajramon, why are we out here? These beasts are making me nervous..."
"I agree," came her partner, Vajramon's, reply. "It's very... unnerving..."
As if in response, a nearby cow mooed.
"As for why we're out her, Pajiramon," Vajramon added, "we're here to meet up with Khumbiramon, remember?"
"I know that!" Pajiramon said, thwapping him in the back of the head. "It was rhetori- eh, oh never mind."
At that moment, a geyser of vapor suddenly shot out of the ground. The field they were standing in erupted into chaos as the nearby animals, frightened by what was going on, fled in terror. Vajramon and Pajiramon sat there calmly, regardless.
After the digital field stopped forming, a shadow appeared in it. From it came a loud, shrill, nasal cry. "Nyaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Pajiramon rolled her eyes. "Khumbiramon," she said, the closest thing she would give to a greeting.
The rat deva emerged from the already shrinking cloud of digital vapor. "Nyaaaaaah..." he screeched, a high nasal tone to his voice. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long, my comrades..."
Vajramon grunted, crossing his arms. "That's an understatement. But now, why did the great sovereign send us out here to greet you? This is nowhere near the city, or those accursed humans and their defiled digimon partners..."
"Yessss," Khumbiramon said. "The gateway for us provided by the human device has begun to close. I couldn't bio-emerge into the real world from there, and had to open a gateway from another area of the digital world..."
"I hope it didn't cause too much exertion on your part," Pajiramon said.
The weaker deva sneered. "This is important Pajiramon. That gateway isn't supposed to close. Our master has been keeping it open... some kind of external force must be doing this."
Vajramon grunted. "You must be joking. What kind of power could rival that of our master?"
"I'm not joking. And in there, my esteemed colleague, lies the problem..."
-----------------------------------------------------------
THE ADVENTURES WORLD...
-----------------------------------------------------------
Yolei Inoue ran up to the other digi-destined, finally stopping to catch her breath, as her partner Hawkmon landed beside him. "Geez, Yolei," Davis said. "You look like you ran a mile."
Yolei didn't reply to him, saying "I haven't kept anyone waiting, have I?"
"Nope," Izzy said, sitting on a park bench with his lap-top. "We're waiting for Matt to get here..."
Yolei nodded, looking around. Davis was leaning against a tree, as Veemon and Wormmon began to converse with Hawkmon, and Agumon and Biyomon were talking as well. Cody was standing quietly, as usual, Armadillomon at his side. Ken was standing not too far from his partner, hands in his pockets. Kari and TK, plus their partners, were standing near Tai and Sora, the four conversing with Mimi (on vacation) and Joe. Gomamon and Palmon were standing next to them as well. Yolei sighed, and plopped down on the bench next to Izzy, having finally caught her breath.
"So, what're we doing this time?" Yolei asked Izzy.
"Didn't say," Izzy replied. "But then again, did he ever tell us anything right away?"
Yolei chuckled lightly. "Got that right..."
Suddenly, she spied Matt walking up the side-walk towards the group of them. Yolei bit her lower lip.
Sora and Tai were the first to acknowledge his presence. "Hi Matt," Sora said, hesitantly.
"Hello Sora," Matt said, obviously not trying to sound too indifferant. He put his hands into his jacket pockets, and turned to Izzy. "Seems we're all here. We gonna get on with this?"
Izzy nodded, turning his lap top to face everyone. "One of you guys care to do the honors?"
Yolei pulled out her D-3. "I'll do it. Digi-port, open!"
A bright flash filled the immediate area. When it dimmed, the digi-destined were gone.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Agumon gasped in horror, as he saw what lay before him. They'd entered the digital world on File Island, a place Agumon knew well. It was exactly the same, except Infinity Mountain was now gone, bits and pieces of it scattered across the sky. The pieces were slowly rising into a hole that seemed as if it had been ripped open, literally.
"What the?!" Davis said, eyes wide.
"I don't think this is one of the usual events Gennai calls us to handle.." Tai said, stepping forward.
"Gee, you think?" Matt said, under his breath.
"We'd better contact him," Izzy said.
"That won't be neccessary..."
The digi-destined turned, the original eight recognizing the deep familiar voice. Standing before them, sure enough, was an anthropormorphic lion. A digimon the original seven children knew well, and whom the newer generation had heard much about.
Leomon.
"Leomon!" Tai cried. "I heard you were at the Primary Village, but I didn't expect to see you here. or in this form..."
"I digivolved fast," Leomon replied. "But that is not important. I have been asked by Gennai to meet you all once you arrived. Come, he's waiting."
Tai nodded. "Lead the way..."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Azulongmon was in a distressed mood as he flied slowly through the skies of the digital world. The wise, majestic digital god was troubled.
Once again, the safety of two worlds was in jeapordy. The digital world was being slowly picked apart, piece by piece, being carried not to the real world, but to another dimension entirely. What's more, for the first time in his long existance, Azulongmon had no clue why.
He and his comrades, the other four digi-gods, had detirmined where these tears breaking apart the digital world led to. But without going themselves, they had no way of finding what lay on the other side. And they could not leave this world. They were bound to the digital world, and could never leave its regions.
... so he instructed Gennai to gather the core digi-destined, and go with them to this other world...
Azulongmon felt like a coward. Yes. One of the strongest digimon in existance felt like a coward...
But it was the only way...
The blue dragon descended from the sky. He'd reached the area he'd come to investigate.
... he found he was too late...
The location... the ocean, the islands... all merely a dissassembled piece of data. The tears were prevalent here. He dared not stray far, for fear of coming apart like all the data here.
Azulongmon wondered... how many digimon had been killed here?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Gennai paced back and forth, hands behind his back as he waited.
The ancient one (perfectly applicable though he didn't look it) wondered when it would end. The saving of worlds. The fighting. And what's more, he felt guilty that he'd willingly brought children, both human and digimon, into this...
How much differant could their lives... could there lives have been... if he, azulongmon, and the other Harmonius Ones never made them digi-destined?
... would they even have lives at all?
But it mattered not, Gennai knew. Time could not be rewritten.
It was then that Gennai heard a voice calling out to him. He looked up, seeing Tai and Davis, followed by Leomon and the other digi-destined, running toward him.
"Gennai!" Tai said once again, once they were within a few yards. "What's going on?"
"Hello Tai," Gennai began. "I see you've noticed what happened to Infinity Mountain..."
"It's kind of easy to notice," the original goggle-boy said.
"Well, it's not just Infinity Mountain," said Gennai. "It's all of File Island. And that's not even the extent of it. These... tears are opening up all over the digital world, breaking it apart bit by bit..."
The digi-destined all looked at one another uneasily. "Do you know why?"
"Well, you children are no strangers to the concept of other worlds," Gennai said. "What's going on here is... that the barriers between various realities have been breached. In a way, the fabric of the digital world's reality is being ripped apart, the pieces being drawn into another world."
"Well, then it's obvious what we have to do," Matt said. "Find a way to seal those things."
"Impossible," Gennai said. "Any sort of digital data that comes near them gets torn apart. And when you humans come to the digital world, you are modified into data. It is dangerous for both you and your partners."
The digi-destined's expressions, which had been slipping towards despair, had now reached that emotion. "Then what can we do...?" Davis asked.
"Azulongmon has proposed a way," Gennai said. "He knows how to reach the... other world the tears lead to. But he doesn't know what lies on the other side, so there is some risk involved..."
"Then let's do it." Tai said abruptly.
Gennai sighed. "Wait.. you do not know the risks... who knows how long this endeavor will last. And what ever awaits us may be too strong for us to handle..."
"Gennai," Davis said, "we've faced impossible odds before. Whether or not we win or loose, it's the fact that we face them..."
That was uncharacteristic of Davis, due to the fact he was usually so goofy. It suprised Gennai...
The others quickly agreed with him. Tai walked up, standing at his protege's side. "I agree with Davis... someone has to do this..."
"But..."
"No buts Gennai," Tai said. "We'll do this. Just give us some time to tell our parents and we'll be ready to go."
When that was said, Gennai turned away from the digi-destined. "I'm afraid.. that's going to be impossible..."
"What?!" Tai exclaimed. "Why?!"
"Children, the wearing down of the digital world caused by the tears is beginning to make time here flow more quickly again... by the time you came back from the real world, years would have passed here. The wearing down of the digital world progress as quickly as normal, earth time, but... the digital world would undergo many changes in the time you were gone. Who knows what may happen..."
"Then why didn't you act sooner?!" Tai said.
"We did, Tai," Gennai replied. "But... by the time we realized what was going on, the speeding up of time had begun again. Why, it's been a full week since I sent you that letter to come here, in digital world time."
Again, the digi-destined looked at each other, looks of distress on their faces. Sora walked up to Tai, taking his hand.
Once again, it was Davis speaking up that made the differance.
"... I'll still do it..."
Everyone looked at him.
"What?" Davis exclaimed. "Sure, we may never see our families again, and they'll never know what happened to us, but it's not like I'm going to just giive up like this. We've faced psychotic spiders and mummy side-kicks. Internet demons. And a whole bunch of other guys. Does that mean we should roll over and just give up?!"
The digi-destined began nodding in agreement. Tai turned back to look at Gennai. "I suppose that's your answer Gennai."
Gennai nodded, somewhat solemnly. "Come then. We will go... Leomon, you may depart now."
"If I may," Leomon said, "I'd like to go with you."
Gennai blinked. "But why?"
"I owe a great deal to these children," Leomon said. "My life and freedom is among them. I want to go with them, try to repay to them what I owe."
"Leomon.." Mimi said, placing a hand on the lion man's shoulder. "Are you... sure? I mean, you could die again... and not get reformatted this time."
"Better to die aiding your friend and world, than to stay and wait for approaching death," Leomon replied. "My mind is made up."
"Hey, the more the merrier big guy," Davis said, grinning. But Mimi still sighed, and walked back to Joe.
"Well, then I suppose all is settled," Gennai said. "Let us now go..."
-----------------------------------------------------------
THE TAMERS WORLD
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Guilmo- whoops!"
Takato tripped, falling over as he walked into the area of the Shinjuuku tunnel the digimon were in. Doing so caused him to drop the paper-bag full of bread he was carrying, as well as his case of cards.
He heard a sigh, and then a voice saying, "Here, let me help you." Sure enough, he saw Rika there, kneeling down to help him pick up his stuff.
"Rika," Takato said, somewhat suprised. "I didn't expect to see you here."
Rika shrugged. "I came here to get Renamon," she said, looking over at where Kyubimon was. Both she and Growlmon were asleep, laying at seperate corners of the large room they were in.
"Huh," Takato said. "I thought they would have de-digivolved by now."
Rika stuffed the last of the bread back into the bag. "Well, I'm gonna wait," Rika said. "You leaving?"
"Nah," Takato said, putting away the last of his cards. "No harm in waiting for Growlmon to wake up. I told my parents I'd be gone a while anyway."
Rika nodded. "Suit yourself."
Takato stood up, and picked up his stuff. He and Rika walked over to their respective partners.. The goggle-boy sighed. This was going to be a long wait.
Then, he looked down at his card box, arriving at an idea.
"Hey, uhm, Rika?"
Rika, now leaning against the wall with her arms folded, replied, "Yeah?"
"Hey, uhm.. listen, I know you're into the card game, so... would you mind playing a game against me? To pass the time?"
Rika blinked. "You're kidding, right?"
Takato laughed nervously. "Well, yeah, I hear you're really good," Takato replied. "Ok, so really, really good at the game. But hey, it's better than sitting around and waiting."
Rika stopped to think for a minute. Takato would definately get creamed, she was sure of that. But then again, he was right. It was certainly a better way to spend time that sitting around.
Rika nodded, and walked toward him. "Alright," she said. "You're on..."
Meanwhile, a dark shape, void of substance, watched from the shadows.
Interesting. Most interesting...
-----------------------------------------------------------
THE ADVENTURES WORLD
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Myotismon's castle?"
The digi-destined had come a long way in a short amount of time. Due to some device of Gennai's, they travelled from File Island to Server in a matter of moments. A device that would have come in handy in the digi-destined's early days, had it existed then.
Now, they found themselves at a place they'd never expected to be again.
"Yes. As you know, Myotismon had a gateway between worlds located here. It's what we'll use to travel across worlds.. Now come, my counterparts are awaiting us inside."
"Your counterparts?" Tai asked.
After several minutes, the children had made their way towards the eerily familiar chamber where Myotismon had first crossed over years ago. Sure enough, standing there waiting for them was Jackie, Benjamin, Ilya, Hogan, and Jose, exact clones of Gennai.
Or a part of him, to be more exact.
"Gennai!" Jackie said, once they arrived.
"Hello again, friends," Gennai said. "Do you have the cards?"
It was Hogan who held up the items, handing them to Gennai. "Of course."
"Good. I trust you have told your respective groups about... the arrangements that must be made?"
The five of them nodded.
"Good," Gennai said. He turned to Tai, holding the cards out to him. "Hold these for a moment Tai..."
"Uhm, sure," Tai replied hesitantly.
"What's going on now Gennai?" Yolei asked.
"Well, children, I can go with you to this other world. However, I can't leave while my counterparts are here, and frankly, as individuals, we can't travel like this."
"What does that mean?" Sora asked him.
"Well, years ago, I actually divided myself into seperate beings, so I could more effectively deal with the various tasks I was responsible for."
"Si," said Jose, continuing for Gennai. "However, suprisingly, as our original self, it was easier to maintain our body than it is now. Going to the this other dimension, seperate but linked, would tear apart our digital data."
"And...?" Tai asked.
"To go, we must become one again," Hogan said. "Become the elder Gennai again."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Tai asked them.
"What choice do we have?" Benjamin asked.
"We won't let you children face this on your own," Illya added. "Not like the other times."
"We appreciate that," Sora said. The other digi-destined nodded in agreement.
"Very well," Gennai said. He turned to his counterparts. "Gentlemen... let's get this over with." And with that said, they each joined hands, forming a circle. The six Harmonius Ones closed their eyes, concentrating. A white glow surrounded them.
And in a burst of light, they together...
... when it dimmed, standing their was a thin, hunched over old man, with barely a sprout of hair, a large nose, and a moustache.
Davis and Ken ran up, helping him stand. "Are you alright?"
Gennai nodded. "I'll be alright," he said to them, an uncharacteristic amount of weakness in his voice. "But we must make haste... Tai, arrange the cards on the altar there, as you have there, going from left to right.
Tai nodded, and walked over, doing as Gennai said. He laid them out, until he got to the last one.
"Gennai.." Tai said. "I don't remember this card from before..." He held it up, for the others to see.
It was a digimon. Small and white, its hands were clasped together, as if it were praying. It had large ears, tipped in purple. Also, it had an arrangement of triangles on its forehead, centered around a large red one. It looked like a koala.
"That's a digimon lost to time, Tai," Gennai said. "It existed only at the dawn of the digital world, and hasn't been seen since... it's called Calumon. I know it doesn't fit with the others, but lay it down anyway."
"If you say so," Tai replied. He laid it down on the last spot.
Once he did so, the gigantic pair of doors opened. Light spilled out from behind it, causing the digi-destined to cover their eyes. Tai stood up, walking towards the gateway. Agumon quickly ran up to join him.
Tai looked back at his friends.
"Let's go guys...."
-----------------------------------------------------------
TO BE CONTINUED
-----------------------------------------------------------
Author's notes-
There's the first real chapter folks.
A couple things...
1. As you can see, I've screwed with the continuity. The fight with Shinduramon, the rooster deva, takes place in an entirely differant place. Khumbiramon bio-emerges earlier. So do Pajiramon and Vajramon. If anyone wonders, everything up to the fight with the snake deva, Sandiramon, happened as it did in the series. Oh yeah, and I threw out the 20 years later thing for the digi-destined.
2. About the rather blatantly obvious thing going on with Matt, Sora and Tai. Well, I'll be honest. I broke Matt and Sora up, she got together with Tai, and Matt's nott oo happy with it. But please folks, don't see me as a veangeful Taiora fan. This was written in for a reason, and will affect the story later on. And I won't make Matt a jerk. He'll just be angry.
3. There will be couples in here folks. Two of them will be really important story-wise. But please don't read this just for that. I don't want that to carry the story. I wrote this for other reasons.
That's all for today, folks.
