Chapter 2: Reunions
It was early the next morning. The soccer coach had no plans except one. He had decide to meet with the woman on the phone. He played her name in his head. "Mimi. It's been a long time since I saw her. Wonder why she needed to meet so fast." He sat at park where he was to meet her.
The orange haired girl was waiting. She removed her hat, allowing her long hair to come out.
"Tai, " she said, "Is that you?" The man looked at her. "Yup, the one and only. So what was so important that you needed to meet. I mean, we haven't seen each other since." He stopped. Mimi continued, putting her hand on his shoulder. "It wasn't your fault Tai. The accident would have happed if we liked it or not. You can't keep beating your self up for it." The words helped Tai. He removed her hand and sat up straight. "Thanks. So, why did you want to meet?" Mimi's face went pale. She started to tell him about the voices and the dreams. Any normal person would have found her crazy. But Tai looked shocked as she described the dreams. "Mimi, those dreams. I've had them too. I've been having them for almost a month now." They both looked a each other. Then, they both heard a sound. A beeping sound, and they reached for their pockets. They both pulled out small devices. "So," said Mimi, "I was right." Tai nodded. "They're in trouble. And they need our help."
In the same park, the doctor and the redhead were walking, also wondering the about dreams they'd had about the past and the actions of the small machines. As they walked, from behind them, they heard a young female voice. "Sora… Joe?" They both turned to see the young brown haired girl. They both spoke. "Kari? What are you doing here? You practically live on the other side of Japan." Kari chuckled. "Early vacation time. Let me guess, you've had the dreams too." Joe and Sora were shocked. It wasn't just them. The threesome continued walking, till Kari's keen eyes picked out a face. Tai's. And he was still talking with Mimi. She turned the her friends. "Guys look down there. It's my brother. An Mimi!" Joe looked and couldn't belive his eyes. "She's right, it's them!" They went to join them when the bumped into two guys.. "Hey," said the blonde one, "Watch were you're going next time." His friend stopped him. "T.K. Look who it is." T.K looked up. He saw faces he hadn't seen in years. "Kari, Sora, Joe? Is it really you?" Introductions were passed, and the group ran to the bench where Mimi and Tai sat.
It seemed like a reunion, but not a very joyous one. Tai spoke up. "So, I'm guessing you've all had the dreams too." They all nodded. "Ok. And I guess all you're digivices started reacting about one month ago, just as the dreams started." They all nodded. Tai had a strange look on his face. So where between joy, sorrow, and confusion. Sora took up the conversation. "I wonder, I wonder if Matt has had the dreams." They all thought about it for a second. T.K looked up frowning. "He may have, but none of us have seen or spoken to Matt since the accident. Right?" Everyone nodded. Except Kari. "I've seen him." Every looked shocked. "When?," screamed Tai, "Where?" Mimi and Sora calmed him down. Kari continued. "I haven't really seen him in person. But he was in one of y dreams. He appeared, he digivice in his hands, and he used it to defeat an unknown digimon."
"Now that you mention it," said Izzy, " I think I saw him at a point in one of my dreams to. What about you guys?" The all thought about it. And almost at once, they all recalled vaguely seeing him in their dreams. "Wait," said Joe, "I think I now where he is!"
The seven friends packed into Tai and Joe's cars. Joe had remembered reports of a mysterious man living in the reckage of the Highton View Terrace TV Station. It could be Matt. A lot had happened to him their. Matt had lost his father in the explosion that had destroyed the station. Both Cars sped up, starting the 2 hour trip to the reckage. There were mixed emotions in both cars. Some of joy to se their old friend, others of sorrow on seeing what may have happened to their old friend.
By mid-afternoon, they had reached the last road before the reckage. Getting out of the cars, they each felt something. Like they were being watched. They walked through miles of rubble and trash, finally reaching a normal sized house in the middle. There was a light on inside. The went to knock, but it opened. On it's own. A blonde haired man with a small beard walked out. "I've been expecting you all…"
They walked in, and saw that Matt had been busy over the years. Piles of papers and chunks of machinery filled the home. They sat down and Matt started talking. "Most of You probably think that the accident did something to by brain and body. And it did. It did something right. Over the past 13 years, I've been dissembling the basis of the digital world bit by bit, trying to figure out how it affects our world and such. And I've found it." Tai and Izzy looked at one of the sketches.
They were extremely complex so complex that Izzy, the smartest of the group, couldn't make heads or tails of them. Matt continued. "Before you ask, I've had the dreams too. They started one month ago, when I started to get hard data in my research. My digivice started reacting and I knew. I knew what it meant." T.K looked at his brother. "What does it mean Matt?"
Matt stood up and looked at them. "It means the digital world may be facing the most powerful thing it has ever faced, and it needs our help to face it.
