homework, etc. etc.) but I'm going to try my best! I'll try to finish the next part in a week
or two, but don't expect it too soon. This fanfic has a lot of explanation in it and it might
answer a lot questions. O.K.? On with the fic!

"There's this bright light, and I then I wake up." Kari said, finishing up describing
her dream.
"That's almost exactly like my dream and Tai's." Matt said stunned.
"I can't believe this! Why didn't you tell me?!!" Tai yelled, obviously not over the
shock of hearing his own little sister had shared their dream.
"Well, I thought it wasn't such a big deal. Besides, I was afraid you would have
gotten worried." Kari explained.
"Hmph, I suppose you guessed right." Matt said watching as Tai paced aimlessly
around crying out his
disbelief. "Um, Tai, I think we should start to try to figure all this out." Matt suggested,
trying to calm him down.
"Hm? Right!" Tai said turning immediately into a serious expression.
"Okay. Kari,"
"Yes Matt!" she responded anxiously.
"Kari, did you hear that strange voice in your dream tonight that warned you about
a danger?" Matt asked.
"Uh, yeah. I don't really understand why, but it somehow sounded so familiar, like
I should have somehow
known who warned me. Did you feel that too Matt?" Kari asked.
"We've been having that feeling a lot lately." Tai broke in. "These digimon, that
Takeru guy, and his cat.."
"Her name is Gatomon." Takeru interrupted.
"Whatever, anyway this is getting too weird! It was just dreams! But now there are
flying monsters trying to
kill us!" Tai exclaimed.
"They're called Digimon," Takeru corrected.
"The point is, why do they feel we should know?" Matt explained, trying to keep
the situation under control.
"Hmph, hm, silly little Digidestined. All confused and lost, isn't it adorable
Snimon." a sleek, dark voice asked to the large green insectoid beside the figure. "Hmm...
I never thought Flymon would lose to a bunch of inexperienced children. Even more
surprising it seems that their little Digimon has learned about that little secret called
Digivolving." the mysterious figure said a bit concerned. "Hmph, but they're weak now, so
you'll have no problem Snimon. GO!" A pale hand pointed fiercely towards them. Snimon
obeyed and headed to the selected targets. "Hmph, hm, time for this dream to come to its
next act."
"Hm? Gatomon perked up her ears to the slight buzzing in the air. She looked up,
scanning the dark night sky. Her ears twitched more tying to pinpoint its source. "I've
heard this before," she murmured. Gatomon's eyes
narrowed on a faint form in the distance. She then let out a low gasp. "Look out!" she
cried to them. "It's Snimon!"
"Huh? Everyone turned to Gatomon and her warning. It was then they noticed a
giant green praying mantis
looking monster was headed right towards them. Diving with its sharp claws ready finish
up Flymon's mission. They all
stood shocked in horror.
Suddenly, a burst of light lit up the night sky once again. "Huh?"
"Tai, your digivice!" Agumon called to him.
Tai held it tightly in his hand as it violently shook and glowed. Soon, all the other
digivices did the same.
Each of their owners held them, looking down on them in wonder. A burst of light broke
through the darkness and
Snimon stopped cold in his tracks startled. One by one, each digivice followed,
illuminating the night. Four beams of
light, one red, one blue, another green, and the last pink, raced towards the heavens,
cutting the sky. Soon they flew
beyond their view. A rumble echoed across the sky and a gentle explosion purred through
the clouds. The portal from
before opens above them and begins to shine down an unknown light upon them all. The
force that drew them in was
much more stronger this time. Tai, Kari, Matt, Takeru, and all their digimon tried to fight
against its pull, but it was too
strong. Their feet soon lost grip on the rooftop and they became weightless in its power.
No control or explanation was
present. They floated up the beam of white light towards the giant portal, unable to even
struggle away. But, somehow,
they began to settle and look up into the light above them. Something awaited for them on
the other side of that portal,
they all felt it. Their fear faded away and they just gave in to its mighty will.
"No!" the unknown figure in the shadows of the nearby building cried out, seeing
their plans begin to fall
away. "It can't be!"
In an instant, the four children and their Digimon disappeared through the white
portal and were gone from
their grasp. "Urghhh... Gennai...." they hissed.
"AHHHHHHH!!" They were blinded by an overwhelming light as they came into
the portal and before they
knew it, they were dropping to a wooden floor from mid-air.
"Urgghhhh..." They all groaned as they ended up as a confused mess on the floor
of the unfamiliar place.
"Urgh, where are we?" Tai wondered, settling himself to sit upright on the floor.
He scanned the room
carefully, and after the others had recovered from their fall they did the same. It looked
like they were in a traditional
Japanese house. The smooth wooden floors were below them and paper screen doors
were present on some of the
walls round the room. "Huh?" Tai's eyes soon came to the wall that faced him. On the
wall before him were some large
glass doors that looked outside of the house. But when Tai saw what was outside his
expression quickly turned to
shock. "What the heck?!"
They all turned to the glass doors he had become all startled at. Beyond the glass
doors was a nice
oriental-style garden that was surrounded by water and fish. "We're - We're underwater?!"
Kari cried out.
"Hm, you have good eyes Kari." another voice commented. They all turned their
heads to the sudden voice.
"Gennai?" Tai barely choked out from surprise. The short man stood with a
strange black outfit and a
friendly smile before them. He had come from a room behind nearby some paper screen
sliding doors.
"Hmm, I expected your arrival would of been sometime soon." Everyone then
noticed the room behind
Gennai full of pillows on the floors. "I suppose I miscalculated where you would arrive.
(Everyone sweartdrops)
"Gennai, do you know where we are?! What are you doing here?!" Tai asked in a
frantic voice while rising
before the old man.
"I also expected you to ask many question too." Gennai remarked.
"Did you miscalculate how many?" Matt asked sarcastically, raising himself to his
feet. Kari and Takeru
followed.
"Hmph, I had almost forgotten about that Matt wit." Gennai replied back. He
looked through the
group that stood before him, and for some reason his eyes remained upon Takeru.
Gennai's expression slightly turned
into a more concentrating look, with his eyes never leaving Takeru. Takeru began to feel
nervous under the old man's
gaze. Kari then noticed him and his uncomfortable twitching.
"Oh, sorry Gennai. This is Takeru Takaishi. Takeru, this is Gennai, an old friend of
ours." she introduced.
"Um, nice to meet you." Takeru said bowing to him, with a little relief of getting
away from his fixed gaze.
"Hm, nice to meet you too Takeru," Gennai said with his returning signature
smile. "I didn't expect you here just yet, oh well! That just saves time." he said merrily as
he turned around towards the pillow room behind him.
Tai, Kari, and Matt just looked at each other confused. "Save time?" They all
wondered, including the
digimon. They just decided to ignore it for now and followed Gennai into the next room.
After clearing away some pillows, they all sat at a low black table with each child
sitting beside their own
digimon, except for Patamon who sat in Kari's lap. Gennai stood before them as they
patiently waited for him to start
speaking. "So, how's those gifts I gave you?" he remarked.
"They're fine, so what are we doing her Gennai?" Tai asked directly to the point.
"Hmmm... well you're in my house." Gennai said.
"This is your house!" Tai said surprised.
"Well, you are rich, so I suppose this makes sense." Matt said while looking
around.
"I don't think he's rich enough to buy a portal to use as his front door." Tai said.
"Oh that, well, that's because you need a portal to travel to the Digiworld at first."
"DIGIWORLD?!" they all said at the same time.
"That's where we're from." Gatomon said to everyone.
"Oh yeah, I remember, I don't know how that could of slipped my mind." Patamon
said surprised,
"A lot of things slipped everyone's' minds Patamon." Gennai said. Everyone turned
to him with a lost look to his words. Tai summed up all their feelings in one simple
comment.
"What are you talking about old man?"
"Gennai Tai," Kari corrected.
"Hm, I expected to give some explanation too. First off, the Digiworld is a shadow
world to yours', Earth.
Here everything can live by computer data and here there are many different creatures
called Digimon. There was also
a group that kept the balance between light and darkness, good and evil in the Digiworld
and Earth. The members of
this group were specially chosen for their different qualities: courage, friendship,
knowledge, reliability, love, sincerity,
hope, and light. These traits were turned into crests that helped to increase the Digimon's
strength and power. This
group was called the Digidestined. The Digidestined, beside their digimon partners, fought
evil digimon after evil digimon time and time again defending the Digital World and your
world." Gennai said in a serious tone, that was unlike
him.
"So, are you saying we're this group?" Matt asked.
"You four are a part of it. You see, something has happened to change the worlds
as we once knew them. As
the Digidestined were traveling between the worlds, something interrupted the transition.
The Digidestined became
separated and only you three and now to my knowledge, Takeru, seem to have ended
back in the real world. Not only
that, the interruption somehow distorted the real world and the Digiworld." Gennai aid.
"Distorted? What do you mean?" Kari asked nervously.
"The dark force had changed reality in both of the worlds. The Digidestined were
forgotten from most of the
Digimon that once knew them here in the Digiworld. Even the members of the
Digidestined themselves seemed to
have disappeared and I assume they have lost their memories of their true identities as
well.
"There are others?" Tai asked. "There are more who are partnered with digimon
like us?"
" Yes. But there is no sure way to find them. All I know is that is one Digidestined
to each crest and each
have a digimon in which they can digivolve." Gennai explained.
"We've had friends that we fought with to save the world and didn't even know
it.." Matt said in a heavy
tone.
"Don't feel so down Matt, they probably don't even remember you either." Gennai,
well tried to, in a
comforting way.
"So, what you're basically saying is that Matt, Kari, Takeru, myself, the other
Digidestined, our world, and
the Digiworld are all, in some way, suffering from a giant case of amnesia." Tai asked.
Gennai nodded, agreeing to Tai's
interpretation. "Uh, no offense, but that seems a little out there."
"I understand is may be hard to believe. I would of thought your minds would of
been more open after
seeing a digivolution and strange monsters trying to destroy you."
"I get your point," Matt replied.
"Good. Now since all the Digidestined have become lost, and you are the only
ones managed to have
reached, you four are the only ones who are able to restore the digital world and your own
to what it once was."
"Us? What can we do to save this world and our own?" Kari asked curiously.
"You have to find the four other Digidestined who has become lost and try to
revive your lost crests and
theirs as well. But you should be careful, it seems there is someone who doesn't want you
to accomplish this. It could
also even be the same person who created that dark pulse. You might have to stop them
as well." Gennai warned.
"That's a lot to do." Tai remarked.
"How are we suppose to do that? We have no idea about this place, or who these
other Digidestined are and
how to even find them." Matt reminded.
"No one said it would be easy." Gennai replied. "But, this is all we could do. the
Digidestined and their
digimon are the protectors of the balance between the real world and the Digiworld,
you're the only ones with the
power to help us restore order." Gennai said. "I've searched long and hard for you and
your digimon, even your own
digimon had lost most of their memory. But I worked to restore and reunite you. If I, an
old man can accomplish that,
then you must have a chance."
"You're right Gennai, we can do this if we try!" Kari said eagerly.
"Yeah, I'll be there to help too!" Patamon agreed happily along with Kari.
"Me too!" Agumon assured Tai.
"Well, since it seems these other Digidestined are our friends, even if we don't
remember them, I guess we
should try to find them. I mean if it's the fate of the world and all." Tai said agreeing.
"I suppose I can't let you go off by yourselves, I'll do this too." Matt agreed.
"Then, I will too." Gabumon followed.
"What about you Takeru?" Kari asked him. "Will you join us?"
Takeru had been quiet the entire time and looked doubtful to everything, but he
replied, "I will join you."
"Well, if Takeru's going so am I!" Gabumon said.
"Hm, well it's all settled then!" Gennai said. "Do any of you have any other
questions? I might be able to
answer them."
"Uh, yeah, what do these things our digimon gave us do, other than tell time, and
well make our digimon
bigger?" Tai asked, holding up the strange device.
"Those devices are called Digivices. They help bring your digimon to higher, more
powerful levels through
your own strengths whenever you're in danger." Gennai explained.
"Whoa, that's definitely more than a clock." Tai remarked looking at the digivice in
his hand.
"Hey, howcome Takeru's and mine are different from Matt's and Tai's?" Kari
asked.
"They're used for basically the same thing. They're a different model, it's an
upgrade from Tai's and Matt's
models. They are called D3's."
"Why do we have them?" Takeru asked.
"Hmm, because, well you see you and Kari are part of the latest Digidestined
group, which have the D3
models, but Matt and Tai were part of the predecessor group with the older model
Digivice." Gennai explained.
"The latest digidestined?" Is that the group we have to find?" Matt asked.
"No, it's the members of the previous group. The newest Digidestined, in a sense,
don't even exist. Since
the previous Digidestined lost their crests and powers, they were unable to be inherited by
the members of the new
Digidestined. Only Kari and Takeru remain of them because they were part of the previous
group also." Gennai
answered.
"Okay, this is just getting more confusing.." Tai said annoyed to the whole
situation.
"I can understand that this must be a little overwhelming. Just know this, you have
to find the other
Digidestined and all of the crests once again to save this world." Gennai said. "Your
digimon will protect you, but you
have to help them as well by aiding them in digivolving, but you already have some
experience in that don't you?"
Gennai said with a smile.
"How are we suppose to find the other Digidestined?" Matt asked. "Or even know
who they are if we can't
remember them?"
"That I do not know. My memory and thoughts became scrambled as well by the
dark pulse, but no to such
a degree that I didn't forget the legend of the Digidestined. Through research and more
research I was able to regain
most of my knowledge. But, I still do knot know where the others are of how to find
them." Gennai admitted. "I'm
sorry."
"Oh don't feel bad Gennai, you must of done a lot of work to do all this and find
this out. You've done more
than enough of your part to help us." Kari said grateful to him.
"Yeah I suppose it's up to us now right?" Tai said enthusiastically.
"Right!" Agumon agreed, rising a claw into the air, being just as enthusiastic as
Tai.
" Yes. Do not worry Matt, we will find a way to find the others and discover who
they are." Gabumon said
assuredly to him. But Matt still looked a little unsure.
"Ah, come on Matt, just see this as an opportunity to figure out those weird
dreams." Tai encouraged.
"All right. But, I still have my doubts about this." Matt stated concerned.
"Hmph, don't worry, you all are the Digidestined! I have faith you will all succeed
in your objectives."
Gennai said in a reassuring voice.
"I hope you're right Gennai." Matt replied.
"Oh, don't worry now, you're probably all tired from battling and talking for most
of the night. I'll show you to some rooms you can sleep in." Gennai said walking out.
After looking at each other for a few moments they stood up
and followed.
"That was a lot to take in huh?" Tai remarked, lying back onto the bottom bed of
the bunk. Tai, Matt,
Takeru, and their digimon, Agumon, Gabumon, and Gatomon were given one room and
Kari slept in her own with
Patamon. Two sets of bunk beds stood against the walls of their room, which was fairly
large. A small, single square
window stood on the wall opposite to where the door was.
"Yeah." Matt agreed in an even tone while looking out the single window.
"Geez, what's wrong with you Matt?" Tai asked turning back to him.
"There's- nothing. It's just a lot to sink in you know." Matt replied in a low voice.
Tai wasn't really
convinced to believe he was just overwhelmed. But, he wasn't one to pry.
"Okay man, let's just get some sleep huh? I think that rude awakening exhausted
me out." Tai said stretching out.
"Well sorry Tai, I was just trying to protect you." Agumon said.
"Yeah I know and you did a good job! Well, good night." Tai said.
"Good night!" Agumon replied and they both almost immediately sunk to sleep.
Takeru was about to settle
down to do the same, but looked over at Matt staring endlessly out the window which, he
knew, had only a dark lake in
view.
"Are you sure nothing is wrong?" Takeru asked.
Matt looked up at him surprised for a moment. Takeru didn't seem like one who
asked about feelings too
often. But Matt soon just turned away and began to climb to the top bunk over Tai's bed.
"Yeah, don't worry about me,
just go to sleep." he reassured.
"All right. Good night." Takeru replied, and laid down into the top bunk opposite
from Matt's. Gatomon
kept a bed to herself under Takeru's and Gabumon was already sound asleep in Matt's bed.
"Good night," Matt softly called back.
"Hm?" Gabumon slowly opened his eyes. A strange feeling overcame him and
awoke him in the middle of the night. "Matt?" He then noticed he slept alone in his top
bunk and faced an empty place where Matt use to lay.
Gabumon rose off the bed and looked around to see him no where in sight.
Gabumon carefully climbed back down to the floor and quietly exited the room in
search of his missing
Digidestined human. The halls were now dark in Gennai's house. The wooden floors under
his feet were cold and bare
and he walked slowly through them, partly because he didn't want to wake anyone else
and partly because he was afraid
of tripping over something. He tried to adjust his eyes to the blackness and used the little
light from the windows along
the walls to guide himself through the dim house. Turning his head to and fro into every
hallway and open room he
looked anxiously, beginning to fear the worst for his new partner as his search grew longer
and longer.
Finally, he came to the room with the large glass doors where they had first landed
when they arrived.
Standing before it, silently watching the nocturnal fish swim through the currents was
Matt. Gabumon sighed relieved
to know that nothing had happened to him. But something else seemed to bother him, a
feeling that came to him, and
this feeling stood looking at the ever-still Matt in concern. He came to stand beside him
and watch the fish wander by also. "Are you all right?" he asked after a few still moments.
"I'm okay Gabumon," Matt said in his ever cool tone, but it didn't fool Gabumon.
"I can tell you're lying Matt. Why don't you just tell me what's bothering you? I'm
your digimon! You can
tell me anything. I will not tell the others if you don't want me to." Gabumon guaranteed
him.
Matt remained unmoving for what seem like hours, watching the light dance in the
water. He soon closed
his eyes and sighed. "It's about the others.."
"Others? Do you mean Tai, Takeru, and Kari?" Gabumon asked.
"No, I mean the lost Digidestined." Matt corrected.
"What about them Matt?"
"It's just... I can't really explain it. Ever since I heard Gennai talk about the
Digidestined and that we have
to find the others I've gotten this strong feeling to go out and look for them. I don't even
know how or where to begin, but there's something inside me telling me it doesn't matter I
just have to find them!" Matt admitted.
"There's nothing wrong with that Matt, you're just worried about your friends."
Gabumon assured.
"No, that's just it. It feels like.... this emotion, this strong determination... I feel
there's someone very
special to me out there I'm looking for... There's someone out there my heart is telling me
it wants to find." Matt said
to him. "But, at the same time I feel this, fear. Like I'm afraid to find them and that I
shouldn't or I would get hurt."
Matt said in low, disturbed tone of voice. "I just don't know what to make of it
Gabumon."
Gabumon looked up confused at him staring into the lake's waters lost in thought.
From Matt's silent
expression alone, he suspects that Matt was probably just as confused at these emotions as
Gabumon himself was.
'Humans are weird creatures,' he thought. After much wondering, Gabumon just came to
the best conclusion he could
think of before getting a major headache on trying to figure out human emotions. "You
have to follow your heart Matt," Gabumon replied.
"Huh? My heart..?" Matt said looking down on his digimon with confused eyes.
"Yes, you have to follow your own heart where ever it may go. It will lead you to
your true feelings."
Gabumon said wisely.
"My... true feelings..?"
"I'm not sure exactly what you're feeling Matt, but I do know that you're very
worried about someone.
Maybe, it's one of the Digidestined we're looking for or you may not know whoever that
is, but I'm sure your heart
will know. And you can be sure I'll be there to help you no matter what." Gabumon said in
reassuring voice.
"Uh... thanks Gabumon," Matt was a little surprised at his digimon's loyalty, but he
was very grateful for it.
"Don't worry about it Matt! I'm your Digimon after all! I'm here to help you!"
Gabumon said with a smile, levitating some of the stress Matt was feeling. "Now,"
Gabumon said stretching and yawning. "I think we should get
back to sleep." he said wearily.
"All right Gabumon, let's go."
'Tai... Matt....'
'Who's there?!' I reply back shocked. I look around nervously. I stood once again
surrounded by darkness
with no one else besides me.
'Tai... Matt....'
'Who are you?' I ask the mysterious voice. I then realize it's the same voice
thatwarned about the Flymon
attacking us, but the question still remained on who it was.
'I don't have much time.... You have to find the others.. the Digidestined.."
'We know that, how do we find he others?' I call back.
'Not enough time.....to explain... I can help you.... find the others...... just clear
your mind...... and I will help
you....'
I wasn't sure what to make of this. 'How can you help me?' I ask back suspiciously.
'We must hurry.... I do not have much time.... clear your mind.....quickly'
I was still hesitant and I began to wonder on the unknown person behind the voice
and if they were my
enemy in disguise.
'You must save them..... you must save me.... please trust me......please help.....'
they begged, they sounded
desperate and sincere enough. So, I just thought what the heck, why not?
'All right,' I close my eyes and waited nervously in finding out what it was they
could give to help me. Or if
it was a mental trap meant to kill me.
Suddenly a spark flicked in front of me. I open my eyes surprised to the sudden
burst of light. It flicked again, then again, and again, until finally it became a steady ball of
bright, white light. I look closely, and I could barely see a faint lavender sign gently
glowing within the ball of white light. I narrowed my eyes, trying to get a closer look at
what it was, but I was suddenly struck with a jolt of energy that fired straight from it. My
head flew back from the force as the beam of energy impacted into my forehead. The
darkness faded away to a bright white blazing with flashing images. 'What's going on?!
What's happening?' Was all I was wondering about. Insignias.... signs.... symbols.....
unknown symbols kept flashing in my mind. What were they?! What did they mean!? My
mind began to strain and it felt as though waves of headaches kept sweeping over my very
brain. The more I saw, the more my mind felt like it was going to explode. 'What is this?!'
I cried out. I held my head in agony and I didn't know how much more I could of take, I
did know it wasn't much. But, I couldn't break away, it was too strong. I couldn't help it,
the pain was too great to handle... I wanted it to stop. I wanted it to stop. The images
faded and everything sunk into a pitch black again. Silence. There was not a sound to be
heard, not even my own uneven breathing. But, a faint sound soon caught my ears. Beep.
Beep. Beep. A pause in the rhythm. A message then appeared over the darkness before my
eyes. DOWNLOAD COMPLETE.
"GASP!" Both Tai and Matt burst forward shocked. Both breathed heavily and
had cold sweat trickling
down the their faces. They stared blankly into the room, panting in shock, not yet aware of
their surroundings.
"Urgh," Matt grasped his forehead in pain. "What in the heck was that?"
Tai fell back to lie on his bed once more and held his head also. "Man, I don't
know. You okay though?" Tai
asked to him.
"I will be..." he replied. "Huh?" The room was brightly lit with sunlight and they
noticed Takeru and Gatomon were no longer in their beds. "It's morning."
"Hey, you two up all ready!" Agumon called, rushing into the room. He was
followed by Gabumon.
"Good morning!" Gabumon replied.
"Yeah, for you." Tai murmured, still trying to recover from his headache.
"Good morning Gabumon," Matt said achingly.
"What happened to you two?" Another voice asked. Kari soon appeared behind
Gabumon and Agumon. "Did you two have a fight or something?" she asked.
"No. It's just that voice in the dream sent us a little headache." Tai remarked.
"Hey, did you get that too Matt?" Tai asked.
"Yeah," he said. "What about you Kari?" Matt asked to her.
"That's funny, I didn't get any headaches like that... in fact, I don't even think I had
any of the dreams last night." Kari admitted.
"What?" Tai said shocked. "How?"
"I don't know." she said blankly.
"Urgh, you were lucky."
"Say, who's ready for some breakfast!" Gennai called.
"Oh, out of the way!" Agumon said excitedly rushing out of the room.
"Hey, wait!" Gabumon called following after.
"Will you two be okay?" she asked worried.
"Yeah, yeah, just get out and eat some breakfast will ya?" Tai said to her, starting
to sound annoyed.
"You don't have to be so pushy Tai. See ya later!" she called and left the room.
Tai and Matt rose out of their beds and stood onto the wooden floors of the room,
staring blankly to the wall before them.
"What do you think that did to us?" Matt asked him.
"Not sure, whatever it did, we'll just have to wait and see huh?" Tai replied.
"I was afraid you would say that..."
site didn't let me in! Well, I won't be updating as much as I want to (you know work,
homework, etc. etc.) but I'm going to try my best! I'll try to finish the next part in a week
or two, but don't expect it too soon. This fanfic has a lot of explanation in it and it might
answer a lot questions. O.K.? On with the fic!

"There's this bright light, and I then I wake up." Kari said, finishing up describing
her dream.
"That's almost exactly like my dream and Tai's." Matt said stunned.
"I can't believe this! Why didn't you tell me?!!" Tai yelled, obviously not over the
shock of hearing his own little sister had shared their dream.
"Well, I thought it wasn't such a big deal. Besides, I was afraid you would have
gotten worried." Kari explained.
"Hmph, I suppose you guessed right." Matt said watching as Tai paced aimlessly
around crying out his
disbelief. "Um, Tai, I think we should start to try to figure all this out." Matt suggested,
trying to calm him down.
"Hm? Right!" Tai said turning immediately into a serious expression.
"Okay. Kari,"
"Yes Matt!" she responded anxiously.
"Kari, did you hear that strange voice in your dream tonight that warned you about
a danger?" Matt asked.
"Uh, yeah. I don't really understand why, but it somehow sounded so familiar, like
I should have somehow
known who warned me. Did you feel that too Matt?" Kari asked.
"We've been having that feeling a lot lately." Tai broke in. "These digimon, that
Takeru guy, and his cat.."
"Her name is Gatomon." Takeru interrupted.
"Whatever, anyway this is getting too weird! It was just dreams! But now there are
flying monsters trying to
kill us!" Tai exclaimed.
"They're called Digimon," Takeru corrected.
"The point is, why do they feel we should know?" Matt explained, trying to keep
the situation under control.
"Hmph, hm, silly little Digidestined. All confused and lost, isn't it adorable
Snimon." a sleek, dark voice asked to the large green insectoid beside the figure. "Hmm...
I never thought Flymon would lose to a bunch of inexperienced children. Even more
surprising it seems that their little Digimon has learned about that little secret called
Digivolving." the mysterious figure said a bit concerned. "Hmph, but they're weak now, so
you'll have no problem Snimon. GO!" A pale hand pointed fiercely towards them. Snimon
obeyed and headed to the selected targets. "Hmph, hm, time for this dream to come to its
next act."
"Hm? Gatomon perked up her ears to the slight buzzing in the air. She looked up,
scanning the dark night sky. Her ears twitched more tying to pinpoint its source. "I've
heard this before," she murmured. Gatomon's eyes
narrowed on a faint form in the distance. She then let out a low gasp. "Look out!" she
cried to them. "It's Snimon!"
"Huh? Everyone turned to Gatomon and her warning. It was then they noticed a
giant green praying mantis
looking monster was headed right towards them. Diving with its sharp claws ready finish
up Flymon's mission. They all
stood shocked in horror.
Suddenly, a burst of light lit up the night sky once again. "Huh?"
"Tai, your digivice!" Agumon called to him.
Tai held it tightly in his hand as it violently shook and glowed. Soon, all the other
digivices did the same.
Each of their owners held them, looking down on them in wonder. A burst of light broke
through the darkness and
Snimon stopped cold in his tracks startled. One by one, each digivice followed,
illuminating the night. Four beams of
light, one red, one blue, another green, and the last pink, raced towards the heavens,
cutting the sky. Soon they flew
beyond their view. A rumble echoed across the sky and a gentle explosion purred through
the clouds. The portal from
before opens above them and begins to shine down an unknown light upon them all. The
force that drew them in was
much more stronger this time. Tai, Kari, Matt, Takeru, and all their digimon tried to fight
against its pull, but it was too
strong. Their feet soon lost grip on the rooftop and they became weightless in its power.
No control or explanation was
present. They floated up the beam of white light towards the giant portal, unable to even
struggle away. But, somehow,
they began to settle and look up into the light above them. Something awaited for them on
the other side of that portal,
they all felt it. Their fear faded away and they just gave in to its mighty will.
"No!" the unknown figure in the shadows of the nearby building cried out, seeing
their plans begin to fall
away. "It can't be!"
In an instant, the four children and their Digimon disappeared through the white
portal and were gone from
their grasp. "Urghhh... Gennai...." they hissed.
"AHHHHHHH!!" They were blinded by an overwhelming light as they came into
the portal and before they
knew it, they were dropping to a wooden floor from mid-air.
"Urgghhhh..." They all groaned as they ended up as a confused mess on the floor
of the unfamiliar place.
"Urgh, where are we?" Tai wondered, settling himself to sit upright on the floor.
He scanned the room
carefully, and after the others had recovered from their fall they did the same. It looked
like they were in a traditional
Japanese house. The smooth wooden floors were below them and paper screen doors
were present on some of the
walls round the room. "Huh?" Tai's eyes soon came to the wall that faced him. On the
wall before him were some large
glass doors that looked outside of the house. But when Tai saw what was outside his
expression quickly turned to
shock. "What the heck?!"
They all turned to the glass doors he had become all startled at. Beyond the glass
doors was a nice
oriental-style garden that was surrounded by water and fish. "We're - We're underwater?!"
Kari cried out.
"Hm, you have good eyes Kari." another voice commented. They all turned their
heads to the sudden voice.
"Gennai?" Tai barely choked out from surprise. The short man stood with a
strange black outfit and a
friendly smile before them. He had come from a room behind nearby some paper screen
sliding doors.
"Hmm, I expected your arrival would of been sometime soon." Everyone then
noticed the room behind
Gennai full of pillows on the floors. "I suppose I miscalculated where you would arrive.
(Everyone sweartdrops)
"Gennai, do you know where we are?! What are you doing here?!" Tai asked in a
frantic voice while rising
before the old man.
"I also expected you to ask many question too." Gennai remarked.
"Did you miscalculate how many?" Matt asked sarcastically, raising himself to his
feet. Kari and Takeru
followed.
"Hmph, I had almost forgotten about that Matt wit." Gennai replied back. He
looked through the
group that stood before him, and for some reason his eyes remained upon Takeru.
Gennai's expression slightly turned
into a more concentrating look, with his eyes never leaving Takeru. Takeru began to feel
nervous under the old man's
gaze. Kari then noticed him and his uncomfortable twitching.
"Oh, sorry Gennai. This is Takeru Takaishi. Takeru, this is Gennai, an old friend of
ours." she introduced.
"Um, nice to meet you." Takeru said bowing to him, with a little relief of getting
away from his fixed gaze.
"Hm, nice to meet you too Takeru," Gennai said with his returning signature
smile. "I didn't expect you here just yet, oh well! That just saves time." he said merrily as
he turned around towards the pillow room behind him.
Tai, Kari, and Matt just looked at each other confused. "Save time?" They all
wondered, including the
digimon. They just decided to ignore it for now and followed Gennai into the next room.
After clearing away some pillows, they all sat at a low black table with each child
sitting beside their own
digimon, except for Patamon who sat in Kari's lap. Gennai stood before them as they
patiently waited for him to start
speaking. "So, how's those gifts I gave you?" he remarked.
"They're fine, so what are we doing her Gennai?" Tai asked directly to the point.
"Hmmm... well you're in my house." Gennai said.
"This is your house!" Tai said surprised.
"Well, you are rich, so I suppose this makes sense." Matt said while looking
around.
"I don't think he's rich enough to buy a portal to use as his front door." Tai said.
"Oh that, well, that's because you need a portal to travel to the Digiworld at first."
"DIGIWORLD?!" they all said at the same time.
"That's where we're from." Gatomon said to everyone.
"Oh yeah, I remember, I don't know how that could of slipped my mind." Patamon
said surprised,
"A lot of things slipped everyone's' minds Patamon." Gennai said. Everyone turned
to him with a lost look to his words. Tai summed up all their feelings in one simple
comment.
"What are you talking about old man?"
"Gennai Tai," Kari corrected.
"Hm, I expected to give some explanation too. First off, the Digiworld is a shadow
world to yours', Earth.
Here everything can live by computer data and here there are many different creatures
called Digimon. There was also
a group that kept the balance between light and darkness, good and evil in the Digiworld
and Earth. The members of
this group were specially chosen for their different qualities: courage, friendship,
knowledge, reliability, love, sincerity,
hope, and light. These traits were turned into crests that helped to increase the Digimon's
strength and power. This
group was called the Digidestined. The Digidestined, beside their digimon partners, fought
evil digimon after evil digimon time and time again defending the Digital World and your
world." Gennai said in a serious tone, that was unlike
him.
"So, are you saying we're this group?" Matt asked.
"You four are a part of it. You see, something has happened to change the worlds
as we once knew them. As
the Digidestined were traveling between the worlds, something interrupted the transition.
The Digidestined became
separated and only you three and now to my knowledge, Takeru, seem to have ended
back in the real world. Not only
that, the interruption somehow distorted the real world and the Digiworld." Gennai aid.
"Distorted? What do you mean?" Kari asked nervously.
"The dark force had changed reality in both of the worlds. The Digidestined were
forgotten from most of the
Digimon that once knew them here in the Digiworld. Even the members of the
Digidestined themselves seemed to
have disappeared and I assume they have lost their memories of their true identities as
well.
"There are others?" Tai asked. "There are more who are partnered with digimon
like us?"
" Yes. But there is no sure way to find them. All I know is that is one Digidestined
to each crest and each
have a digimon in which they can digivolve." Gennai explained.
"We've had friends that we fought with to save the world and didn't even know
it.." Matt said in a heavy
tone.
"Don't feel so down Matt, they probably don't even remember you either." Gennai,
well tried to, in a
comforting way.
"So, what you're basically saying is that Matt, Kari, Takeru, myself, the other
Digidestined, our world, and
the Digiworld are all, in some way, suffering from a giant case of amnesia." Tai asked.
Gennai nodded, agreeing to Tai's
interpretation. "Uh, no offense, but that seems a little out there."
"I understand is may be hard to believe. I would of thought your minds would of
been more open after
seeing a digivolution and strange monsters trying to destroy you."
"I get your point," Matt replied.
"Good. Now since all the Digidestined have become lost, and you are the only
ones managed to have
reached, you four are the only ones who are able to restore the digital world and your own
to what it once was."
"Us? What can we do to save this world and our own?" Kari asked curiously.
"You have to find the four other Digidestined who has become lost and try to
revive your lost crests and
theirs as well. But you should be careful, it seems there is someone who doesn't want you
to accomplish this. It could
also even be the same person who created that dark pulse. You might have to stop them
as well." Gennai warned.
"That's a lot to do." Tai remarked.
"How are we suppose to do that? We have no idea about this place, or who these
other Digidestined are and
how to even find them." Matt reminded.
"No one said it would be easy." Gennai replied. "But, this is all we could do. the
Digidestined and their
digimon are the protectors of the balance between the real world and the Digiworld,
you're the only ones with the
power to help us restore order." Gennai said. "I've searched long and hard for you and
your digimon, even your own
digimon had lost most of their memory. But I worked to restore and reunite you. If I, an
old man can accomplish that,
then you must have a chance."
"You're right Gennai, we can do this if we try!" Kari said eagerly.
"Yeah, I'll be there to help too!" Patamon agreed happily along with Kari.
"Me too!" Agumon assured Tai.
"Well, since it seems these other Digidestined are our friends, even if we don't
remember them, I guess we
should try to find them. I mean if it's the fate of the world and all." Tai said agreeing.
"I suppose I can't let you go off by yourselves, I'll do this too." Matt agreed.
"Then, I will too." Gabumon followed.
"What about you Takeru?" Kari asked him. "Will you join us?"
Takeru had been quiet the entire time and looked doubtful to everything, but he
replied, "I will join you."
"Well, if Takeru's going so am I!" Gabumon said.
"Hm, well it's all settled then!" Gennai said. "Do any of you have any other
questions? I might be able to
answer them."
"Uh, yeah, what do these things our digimon gave us do, other than tell time, and
well make our digimon
bigger?" Tai asked, holding up the strange device.
"Those devices are called Digivices. They help bring your digimon to higher, more
powerful levels through
your own strengths whenever you're in danger." Gennai explained.
"Whoa, that's definitely more than a clock." Tai remarked looking at the digivice in
his hand.
"Hey, howcome Takeru's and mine are different from Matt's and Tai's?" Kari
asked.
"They're used for basically the same thing. They're a different model, it's an
upgrade from Tai's and Matt's
models. They are called D3's."
"Why do we have them?" Takeru asked.
"Hmm, because, well you see you and Kari are part of the latest Digidestined
group, which have the D3
models, but Matt and Tai were part of the predecessor group with the older model
Digivice." Gennai explained.
"The latest digidestined?" Is that the group we have to find?" Matt asked.
"No, it's the members of the previous group. The newest Digidestined, in a sense,
don't even exist. Since
the previous Digidestined lost their crests and powers, they were unable to be inherited by
the members of the new
Digidestined. Only Kari and Takeru remain of them because they were part of the previous
group also." Gennai
answered.
"Okay, this is just getting more confusing.." Tai said annoyed to the whole
situation.
"I can understand that this must be a little overwhelming. Just know this, you have
to find the other
Digidestined and all of the crests once again to save this world." Gennai said. "Your
digimon will protect you, but you
have to help them as well by aiding them in digivolving, but you already have some
experience in that don't you?"
Gennai said with a smile.
"How are we suppose to find the other Digidestined?" Matt asked. "Or even know
who they are if we can't
remember them?"
"That I do not know. My memory and thoughts became scrambled as well by the
dark pulse, but no to such
a degree that I didn't forget the legend of the Digidestined. Through research and more
research I was able to regain
most of my knowledge. But, I still do knot know where the others are of how to find
them." Gennai admitted. "I'm
sorry."
"Oh don't feel bad Gennai, you must of done a lot of work to do all this and find
this out. You've done more
than enough of your part to help us." Kari said grateful to him.
"Yeah I suppose it's up to us now right?" Tai said enthusiastically.
"Right!" Agumon agreed, rising a claw into the air, being just as enthusiastic as
Tai.
" Yes. Do not worry Matt, we will find a way to find the others and discover who
they are." Gabumon said
assuredly to him. But Matt still looked a little unsure.
"Ah, come on Matt, just see this as an opportunity to figure out those weird
dreams." Tai encouraged.
"All right. But, I still have my doubts about this." Matt stated concerned.
"Hmph, don't worry, you all are the Digidestined! I have faith you will all succeed
in your objectives."
Gennai said in a reassuring voice.
"I hope you're right Gennai." Matt replied.
"Oh, don't worry now, you're probably all tired from battling and talking for most
of the night. I'll show you to some rooms you can sleep in." Gennai said walking out.
After looking at each other for a few moments they stood up
and followed.
"That was a lot to take in huh?" Tai remarked, lying back onto the bottom bed of
the bunk. Tai, Matt,
Takeru, and their digimon, Agumon, Gabumon, and Gatomon were given one room and
Kari slept in her own with
Patamon. Two sets of bunk beds stood against the walls of their room, which was fairly
large. A small, single square
window stood on the wall opposite to where the door was.
"Yeah." Matt agreed in an even tone while looking out the single window.
"Geez, what's wrong with you Matt?" Tai asked turning back to him.
"There's- nothing. It's just a lot to sink in you know." Matt replied in a low voice.
Tai wasn't really
convinced to believe he was just overwhelmed. But, he wasn't one to pry.
"Okay man, let's just get some sleep huh? I think that rude awakening exhausted
me out." Tai said stretching out.
"Well sorry Tai, I was just trying to protect you." Agumon said.
"Yeah I know and you did a good job! Well, good night." Tai said.
"Good night!" Agumon replied and they both almost immediately sunk to sleep.
Takeru was about to settle
down to do the same, but looked over at Matt staring endlessly out the window which, he
knew, had only a dark lake in
view.
"Are you sure nothing is wrong?" Takeru asked.
Matt looked up at him surprised for a moment. Takeru didn't seem like one who
asked about feelings too
often. But Matt soon just turned away and began to climb to the top bunk over Tai's bed.
"Yeah, don't worry about me,
just go to sleep." he reassured.
"All right. Good night." Takeru replied, and laid down into the top bunk opposite
from Matt's. Gatomon
kept a bed to herself under Takeru's and Gabumon was already sound asleep in Matt's bed.
"Good night," Matt softly called back.
"Hm?" Gabumon slowly opened his eyes. A strange feeling overcame him and
awoke him in the middle of the night. "Matt?" He then noticed he slept alone in his top
bunk and faced an empty place where Matt use to lay.
Gabumon rose off the bed and looked around to see him no where in sight.
Gabumon carefully climbed back down to the floor and quietly exited the room in
search of his missing
Digidestined human. The halls were now dark in Gennai's house. The wooden floors under
his feet were cold and bare
and he walked slowly through them, partly because he didn't want to wake anyone else
and partly because he was afraid
of tripping over something. He tried to adjust his eyes to the blackness and used the little
light from the windows along
the walls to guide himself through the dim house. Turning his head to and fro into every
hallway and open room he
looked anxiously, beginning to fear the worst for his new partner as his search grew longer
and longer.
Finally, he came to the room with the large glass doors where they had first landed
when they arrived.
Standing before it, silently watching the nocturnal fish swim through the currents was
Matt. Gabumon sighed relieved
to know that nothing had happened to him. But something else seemed to bother him, a
feeling that came to him, and
this feeling stood looking at the ever-still Matt in concern. He came to stand beside him
and watch the fish wander by also. "Are you all right?" he asked after a few still moments.
"I'm okay Gabumon," Matt said in his ever cool tone, but it didn't fool Gabumon.
"I can tell you're lying Matt. Why don't you just tell me what's bothering you? I'm
your digimon! You can
tell me anything. I will not tell the others if you don't want me to." Gabumon guaranteed
him.
Matt remained unmoving for what seem like hours, watching the light dance in the
water. He soon closed
his eyes and sighed. "It's about the others.."
"Others? Do you mean Tai, Takeru, and Kari?" Gabumon asked.
"No, I mean the lost Digidestined." Matt corrected.
"What about them Matt?"
"It's just... I can't really explain it. Ever since I heard Gennai talk about the
Digidestined and that we have
to find the others I've gotten this strong feeling to go out and look for them. I don't even
know how or where to begin, but there's something inside me telling me it doesn't matter I
just have to find them!" Matt admitted.
"There's nothing wrong with that Matt, you're just worried about your friends."
Gabumon assured.
"No, that's just it. It feels like.... this emotion, this strong determination... I feel
there's someone very
special to me out there I'm looking for... There's someone out there my heart is telling me
it wants to find." Matt said
to him. "But, at the same time I feel this, fear. Like I'm afraid to find them and that I
shouldn't or I would get hurt."
Matt said in low, disturbed tone of voice. "I just don't know what to make of it
Gabumon."
Gabumon looked up confused at him staring into the lake's waters lost in thought.
From Matt's silent
expression alone, he suspects that Matt was probably just as confused at these emotions as
Gabumon himself was.
'Humans are weird creatures,' he thought. After much wondering, Gabumon just came to
the best conclusion he could
think of before getting a major headache on trying to figure out human emotions. "You
have to follow your heart Matt," Gabumon replied.
"Huh? My heart..?" Matt said looking down on his digimon with confused eyes.
"Yes, you have to follow your own heart where ever it may go. It will lead you to
your true feelings."
Gabumon said wisely.
"My... true feelings..?"
"I'm not sure exactly what you're feeling Matt, but I do know that you're very
worried about someone.
Maybe, it's one of the Digidestined we're looking for or you may not know whoever that
is, but I'm sure your heart
will know. And you can be sure I'll be there to help you no matter what." Gabumon said in
reassuring voice.
"Uh... thanks Gabumon," Matt was a little surprised at his digimon's loyalty, but he
was very grateful for it.
"Don't worry about it Matt! I'm your Digimon after all! I'm here to help you!"
Gabumon said with a smile, levitating some of the stress Matt was feeling. "Now,"
Gabumon said stretching and yawning. "I think we should get
back to sleep." he said wearily.
"All right Gabumon, let's go."
'Tai... Matt....'
'Who's there?!' I reply back shocked. I look around nervously. I stood once again
surrounded by darkness
with no one else besides me.
'Tai... Matt....'
'Who are you?' I ask the mysterious voice. I then realize it's the same voice
thatwarned about the Flymon
attacking us, but the question still remained on who it was.
'I don't have much time.... You have to find the others.. the Digidestined.."
'We know that, how do we find he others?' I call back.
'Not enough time.....to explain... I can help you.... find the others...... just clear
your mind...... and I will help
you....'
I wasn't sure what to make of this. 'How can you help me?' I ask back suspiciously.
'We must hurry.... I do not have much time.... clear your mind.....quickly'
I was still hesitant and I began to wonder on the unknown person behind the voice
and if they were my
enemy in disguise.
'You must save them..... you must save me.... please trust me......please help.....'
they begged, they sounded
desperate and sincere enough. So, I just thought what the heck, why not?
'All right,' I close my eyes and waited nervously in finding out what it was they
could give to help me. Or if
it was a mental trap meant to kill me.
Suddenly a spark flicked in front of me. I open my eyes surprised to the sudden
burst of light. It flicked again, then again, and again, until finally it became a steady ball of
bright, white light. I look closely, and I could barely see a faint lavender sign gently
glowing within the ball of white light. I narrowed my eyes, trying to get a closer look at
what it was, but I was suddenly struck with a jolt of energy that fired straight from it. My
head flew back from the force as the beam of energy impacted into my forehead. The
darkness faded away to a bright white blazing with flashing images. 'What's going on?!
What's happening?' Was all I was wondering about. Insignias.... signs.... symbols.....
unknown symbols kept flashing in my mind. What were they?! What did they mean!? My
mind began to strain and it felt as though waves of headaches kept sweeping over my very
brain. The more I saw, the more my mind felt like it was going to explode. 'What is this?!'
I cried out. I held my head in agony and I didn't know how much more I could of take, I
did know it wasn't much. But, I couldn't break away, it was too strong. I couldn't help it,
the pain was too great to handle... I wanted it to stop. I wanted it to stop. The images
faded and everything sunk into a pitch black again. Silence. There was not a sound to be
heard, not even my own uneven breathing. But, a faint sound soon caught my ears. Beep.
Beep. Beep. A pause in the rhythm. A message then appeared over the darkness before my
eyes. DOWNLOAD COMPLETE.
"GASP!" Both Tai and Matt burst forward shocked. Both breathed heavily and
had cold sweat trickling
down the their faces. They stared blankly into the room, panting in shock, not yet aware of
their surroundings.
"Urgh," Matt grasped his forehead in pain. "What in the heck was that?"
Tai fell back to lie on his bed once more and held his head also. "Man, I don't
know. You okay though?" Tai
asked to him.
"I will be..." he replied. "Huh?" The room was brightly lit with sunlight and they
noticed Takeru and Gatomon were no longer in their beds. "It's morning."
"Hey, you two up all ready!" Agumon called, rushing into the room. He was
followed by Gabumon.
"Good morning!" Gabumon replied.
"Yeah, for you." Tai murmured, still trying to recover from his headache.
"Good morning Gabumon," Matt said achingly.
"What happened to you two?" Another voice asked. Kari soon appeared behind
Gabumon and Agumon. "Did you two have a fight or something?" she asked.
"No. It's just that voice in the dream sent us a little headache." Tai remarked.
"Hey, did you get that too Matt?" Tai asked.
"Yeah," he said. "What about you Kari?" Matt asked to her.
"That's funny, I didn't get any headaches like that... in fact, I don't even think I had
any of the dreams last night." Kari admitted.
"What?" Tai said shocked. "How?"
"I don't know." she said blankly.
"Urgh, you were lucky."
"Say, who's ready for some breakfast!" Gennai called.
"Oh, out of the way!" Agumon said excitedly rushing out of the room.
"Hey, wait!" Gabumon called following after.
"Will you two be okay?" she asked worried.
"Yeah, yeah, just get out and eat some breakfast will ya?" Tai said to her, starting
to sound annoyed.
"You don't have to be so pushy Tai. See ya later!" she called and left the room.
Tai and Matt rose out of their beds and stood onto the wooden floors of the room,
staring blankly to the wall before them.
"What do you think that did to us?" Matt asked him.
"Not sure, whatever it did, we'll just have to wait and see huh?" Tai replied.
"I was afraid you would say that..."
