Chapter 4: The Return
Each of them stood in a circle in the pit. Holding out their hands, digivices in palm, they concentrated. Beams of light shot from each digivice, till they joined in a pillar of light.
In a flash of colored light, they eight of them had vanished.
When he awoke, T.K looked around. The others were still out of it. It had been minutes since they left, but to him in seemed like hours. He looked at his surrounding. Everything was dark and desolate. Was this the Digital World? It looked so barren and inhospitable. He slowly woke the others. As the came to, they each looked at the barren land that had once been a plain of digital grass. "What, what happened here," said Mimi, "It looks like a bomb exploded." As she finished speaking, they each started to hear a sound. Faint sounds, no, voices! Calling to them. Shapes appeared on the land, creatures. Familiar forms. Then Tai jumped up. "Agumon, is that you?"
There was a brief silence, and one of the creatures ran towards him. As it got into view, its true form could be seen. It was a small goldish dinosaur with green eyes. "Tai? Tai!" It screamed, running into him. He yelled to the other creatures. "Guys, their back! It's really them!"
The creatures could be seen clearly as they ran into the digidestined. A red insect, a white seal with an orange haircut, a pink parrot, a green tulip, a small white cat, a brown animal with wings for ears, and a furry creature with a horn. The digimon. Their digimon. Partners exchanged speech, till finally everyone was reacquainted. They all sat together, silent as Matt started speaking. "Gabumon, what happened here? It looks like a full-scale war hit File Island."
Gabumon spoke slowly, as he remembered the chaos that had come. "That's because a war did hit the Digital World. It happened many digi-years ago. Almost one month ago in your world. But my memory isn't what I used to be. I believe Agumon remembers better." Agumon walked to the center of the group and placed a claw in the dirt. "And so it began. The beginning of the end.."
"After the defeat of Malomyotismon, the Digi-world was at peace. Small threats had come and gone, but then He came. Chaomon. Not just a Mega. He was stronger then that. Almost three levels higher. A Master Digimon. He started corrupting entire areas, destroying it's inhabitants except those he could use. He created an army of evil creatures. The strongest good digimon, led by SaberLeomon, formed an army to oppose Chaomon. But his minions were too strong. They wiped out the armies of good digimon, wounding some and obliterating others. And none could be reborn, for he had corrupted the Primary villiage. We have been waiting these past years for you all to return, to help us take down Chaomon and his troops. And now you have come. It has begun"
Agumon snapped back, as if he had been in a trance. The digidestined were shocked. They hadn't been called aback to take on another Myotismon or something. This was to destroy an invincible ruler.
