I don't own anybody but Mr. Lock and the snake. And if ya want to use them go ahead I don't mind.

Chapter three.

Izzy stared at his screen for what seemed like hours. The destined who went by the screen name of Pike_Cap_NCC-1701 had just given him the code for a program that would only work with a D3, he had the base code for them! The only explanation was that he had one, but that was impossible. Izzy had sent the program to Willis in the states almost immediately after receiving it and finding out just what it was. His friend was just as stupefied by this as he was. Getting over the shock both of them lunched into a barrage of questions, and he launched a trace because he didn't want to let "Pike" slip away. But the answers were not what they had been expecting at all.

Pike_Cap_NCC-1701: How did I know the code? I made a D3 when the 3rd wave of us went into the digital world and fought against my old teammate. Yes I said old teammate, listen I was going to see Willis in about a month anyway so this will save me some time and the pain in the butt of learning Japanese, please get everyone together, all three waves and meet me at Gennai's house.

Pike_Cap_NCC-1701: *Dark Mutter* I keep forgetting I'm the only one who knows, the first wave was Willis, Ken, and Michael, he should come with Mimi, I'll be there till midnight tomorrow EST plz come ok?

And with that he was gone. 'Do you have any idea what he was talking about?' Izzy couldn't help but ask his friend. 'Not a clue' was the response, 'but then he always struck me as odd, do you think he snapped?' Izzy had to smile at that one before sending 'Only one way to find out, you can get to the digital world right?' After getting an affirmative response Izzy set about getting the whole gang together, Michael and all.

Serpentmon watched his partner pace back and forth, he didn't remember when his human counterpart had started doing this, and he was sure he would have recalled for it was very annoying. "Could you ssstop for a moment?" he asked the human.

"Huh? Oh sorry I'm just nervous, and I'm not really sure why. No scratch that I am, the angels scare the bejesus out of me and I have a feeling Tai is going to expect to be in charge once it all comes into play." his partner then did something else he didn't remember him ever doing before, he giggled and a nervous giggle at that.

"I wonder if I should have gotten some goggles. That might have made them listen to me." And then he started pacing again. Serpentmon just shook his head, he was nervous too, the angels would be a problem, he could mach them for power in a one on one but if they double teamed him it would be a short fight, he knew that but did his partner have to do that incessant pacing! He was just about to bring it up again when a digiport opened and the most powerful of all the destined stepped through.

He had to smile as the united front was quite impressive, two known megas who could go even above that, two who could reach almost that power combined, six ultimates two with the power of megas and 5 champion levels, well at lest that's what they could go to, the knowledge of that power made the little green snake take a large gulp of air.

Glancing at the digimon he didn't see any glimmer of recognition, well except for the hate coming off in waves from Patimon, the shock in Gatomon's eyes, and Wormmon's seemed to reflect for a moment but it was obvious that he wasn't sure just what he recalled. This was going to be hard, and then he looked into Patimon's eyes once again and he new this was going to be more then hard it was going to be all but impossible.

"Yess, dear brother?" the little green snake all but purred out to TK's partner.

"Don't call me that!" to which the snake chuckled, the rest of the destined looked on with shock written on there faces, the Tall boy with the serpent looked down and it a frowned.

"Dang it, we are trying to make friends here and you're not going to help our chances by provoking him." Sighing he looked out at the young people in front of him, he could tell that they were a bit surprised at his appearance.

6' blue eyed with brown shaggy hair and two days worth of beard, blue jeans, gray t-shit, denim shirt, black leather jacket and a black leather fedora of all things. He loved his hat and jacket almost never took them off provided it wasn't like 90 or something, grinning he looked over at TK who was showing a remarkable amount of will power in holding back and spoke.

"If you're wandering why you feel the almost uncontrollable urge to punch my lights out it's because of these two." Pointing to the two glaring digimon

Kari spoke up, "you don't seem to be all that effected." To which the stranger gave a dry laugh

"I'm just trying not to wet myself and with both of you two here that's quite and accomplishment if I do say so myself. I don't like hanging around angels such as you two more then I have too, you scare me more then I like to admit as it is.

"Alright down to business, something big and bad is coming, I've never felt anything like it and I've been here sense the first monster to breach the firewall came through and I can't afford to sit on the sidelines this time. Whatever it is has activated the four remaining crests, which the guardians had thought were the property of two as of yet unknown digimon, this proved to be wrong, as the guardians all have felt the power of a new crest now, giving us reason to think that a triple DNA or a similar digivolution might now be possible.

"Having reforged the crests I need your help or at lest this world is most likely domed." Tai was the first to brake out of his stupor at the words "reforged the crests" demanded to know just what and how that happened.

"With the four guardians now free thanks to Azulonmon after mummymon inadvertently freed him, the power of your crests is no longer needed to keep the digital world safe, using digicores from all four of the guardians we have remade the crests and hope that in time the power will come from within you once again. Kari's light gives us that hope.

"Seeing as some of you might not know I'll just do roll call as I hand them back out. Courage" he says tossing Tai a tag and then tossing one to Mat, "friendship, love and sincerity." Tossing a tag to Sora and Mimi respectively and then finishing off with Joe and Izzy, "reliability and knowledge."

They looked down at there new tags and were surprised to see that the crests in their hands had auras surrounding them, Tai's and Mat's had a white aura that seemed to be pulsing with power, Sora's and Mimi's had a red one which stayed at a constant low hum as did Joe and Izzy's green ones, reaching into the bag he had been pulling the tags from the young man tossed one to Ken.

"I don't know if you still have yours so I got you a new one, kindness," then tossing one to Willis he spoke with a grin, "destiny" and then giving one to Michael, "honor." And then he tossed a small bag that had been hanging from his belt to TK and Kari, "hope and light, I couldn't make them so Gennai did, I hope they work I've no way to test them. Ok, now that that is out of the way..."

He had started only to be overwhelmed by questions coming from all directions. The newest kids wanting to know where their crests were, the 2nd group wanting to know who he was and how he had made crests in the first place and the first group, well they looked at there crests and looked at him and looked back at their crests and burst out laughing.

After a few minuets only Yoli, Davis, Mat and Tai were still demanding things from him, sending a placating look to Sora, Kari, and Cody they managed to calm down most of the chatter, the glare he gave "his" group was more then adequate to stop their belly laughs into goofy grins and poorly hid chuckles. Sighing he tried to answer as well as he could.

"Ok first things first, I'm Travis Lock, and of all things I'm the destined of faith. those three yahoos are most likely busting a gut because their memories of me have come back." This was punctuated with yet another glare that got all of them wiping tears from there eyes in a matter of minuets, sighing he continued, "Gennai and I remade your crests like we did the first time around, I believe Kari was possessed and showed your group this once, Tai." At Tai's surprised nod he smirked a little and continued, "I was the leader by default do to age when the four of us got sucked into this world something like ten or eleven years ago.

"We stopped the first Apoclimon, or at lest something calling itself that, and the younger ones went back home, I stayed to protect this world and it was all hunky dory, the time difference was even faster back then so I could have stayed till I was fifty here and it would have been the same day back home.

The Dark Masters changed all that. Piedmon, ripped a whole between the worlds, I tried to stop them but failed, we couldn't take four megas at once, that's when that Agumon landed in your house Tai, the beginning the cycle of your digimon's eggs being made and you're being called to the digital world to save it. I'm what kept Myotismon from attacking you once you left the relative safety of the island you landed on when you went in after the tags and crests. I only wish I could have helped against the masters, or in our world.
