'thoughts'

********************************************************

After jumping through the portal Davis, Ken, Kari, Yolei, and Gennai appeared in some sort of cave.

"Amazing!" Gennai said.

"What is this place?" Ken asked.

"This place is thought to be a legend. It is in this cave, the four elemental stones are held!" Gennai said in excitement. "The four elemental stones are the keys to lighting the four elemental lighthouses."

"What does that mean?" Davis asked.

"If the four lighthouses are lit they will bring upon great destruction and bring the earth to a reign of darkness." Gennai answered solemnly.

"If these stones hold the power to destroy the earth then we can't leave this portal open." Kari said.

"It's too late for that; our only chance is to hide them from people with dark intentions." Gennai said.

"Alright, let's split up and get all four stones." Davis said.

Each adept went in a different direction, there were pillars leading up to each statue that held an elemental stone. Davis hopped across each one and reached a statue with an orange ball.

"Davis none of us can get to the elemental stones!" Ken cried out.

It was true. All but the path to the Venus elemental stone were incomplete.

"Let me get this stone first, then will figure out what to do." Davis replied. Davis removed the stone from the statue. The cave began to rumble and a pillar shot out of the ground in front of Ken.

"It must be another puzzle; we have to get one elemental stone to get the others!" Ken said. Ken hopped across the new pillar and reached the elemental stone of Jupiter.

"Here goes nothing." Ken said. Ken lifted the stone from the statue, once again the ground began to rumble and two new pillars emerged from the ground, allowing access to the elemental stone of Mars.

"Great two stones down and two to go!" Kari yelled. Kari hopped across the two new pillars and took the elemental stone. Once again the ground rumbled revealing a pillar leading to the fourth and final elemental stone, the elemental of Mercury.

"Good, Yolei now get the stone!" Ken yelled. Yolei hopped across and got the stone.

"Excellent, you have saved us time. Now hand over the elemental stones." The adepts turned to identify the voice. Gennai was now surrounded by three warriors, two men and a woman.

"Who are you?" Davis asked.

"I am Matt and this is my accomplice Sora." The man with blond hair said. "Give us the elemental stones NOW!" The woman named Sora yelled.

"If we give them to you what will you do with them?" Ken asked.

"That is of no concern to you, now hand them over." Matt said forcefully.

"We're not giving you anything until you release Gennai!" Yolei yelled in anger.

"If you do not give us the elemental stones, we shall destroy the old man." The still unidentified man said.

"If we give you the elemental stones, how can we be sure that you will release Gennai?" Kari asked.

"Very well we will give you insurance." Matt said. He turned to the man beside him. "Show them." Matt said. The man removed a mask. It looked so life like the adepts had thought it was his real face. Kari recognized him immediately.

"No...No impossible!" Kari stammered.

"What is it?" Davis asked concerned.

"It's...It's Tai!" Kari yelled having a hard time believing it was true.

"That's impossible Tai's dead, he disappear five years ago!" Davis yelled not believing Kari.

"It is me Davis. It is good to see all of you again, now give Matt and Sora the elemental stones. I shall not betray you." Tai said in a warm tone. After a moment of thought the adepts jumped back to the platform, where Gennai and the three villains were standing, suddenly a boy that looked the age of 15 appeared in front of them.

"I will take the elemental stones." The boy said.

"TK, it's about time you showed up brother." Matt said to the boy known as TK. "Give him the elemental stones." Matt said to the four adepts. Ken, Yolei, and Kari gave their elemental stones to TK. Davis stepped forward to give TK the elemental stone of Venus, when the cave shook violently.

"What's happening?" Sora yelled in confusion. The four statues that had held the elemental stones began to glow the respective color of their stones, orange, purple, red, and blue. Six beams shot out of each statue and flew into the portal leading out of the cave, but one beam appeared again at each of the statues. The beams flew to Davis, Ken, Yolei, and Kari. The beam near Davis morphed into a light brown creature with a G and a V on his forehead. He was about half Davis' size and had a white oval on his stomach.

"Hi I'm a Venus Djinn, GigasVeemon!" The creature said to Davis. The beam near Ken morphed into a worm like creature. He was green and had many pairs of small legs, with two antennae on his head, and his eyes were green.

"Hello I'm a Jupiter Djinn, GustWormmon." The worm creature said to Ken. The beam near Kari morphed in to a red cat. She had large ears and wore gloves on her front paws, with a ring around her purple striped tail.

"I am a Mars Djinn, FeverGatomon." The feline said to Kari. The final beam near Yolei morphed to a blue bird, with a sky blue feather attached to his head by a headband. His wings looked almost like they were flippers, and he had webbed feet.

"Delighted to meet you, I am a Mercury Djinn named FizzHawkmon!" The water bird said as he bowed to Yolei.

"The legendary Djinn have returned!" Gennai said in amazement.

"Djinn?" Davis and his companions asked.

"Djinn are powerful creatures that help a warrior in battle." Gennai answered.

"Enough of this hand over the Venus elemental stone now!" Matt demanded.

"I don't think so!" GigasVeemon said defiantly.

"What are you going to do about it you little monster?" Matt asked.

"This!" GigasVeemon's body broke into pixels and merged with Davis. Davis felt a large amount of power rush through his entire body.

"Take this!" Davis pulled out his sword and struck the ground splitting the platform in half.

"Run, protect the elemental stone!" Gennai cried.

"What about you?" Kari asked.

"I'll be OK, now get going!" Reluctantly the four adepts ran through the portal.

"No, they escaped!" Matt yelled in anger.

"Don't worry we still have three of the elemental stones. We can light three of the lighthouses, and steal the fourth stone from those brats later." Sora reasoned.

******************************************************** (Outside Sol Sanctum)

At the entrance to Sol Sanctum a portal opened and out fell four teenage adepts.

"That hurt!" Davis yelled out while rubbing his head. The four stood up and dusted themselves off.

"We have to get Gennai back!" Yolei said.

"We will, but first we have to train. Those three were much more powerful, even when GigasVeemon fused with me; I wasn't nearly powerful enough to defeat them." Davis said.

"Speaking of which, how were you two able to do that?" Ken asked.

"Each Djinn has its own unique ability, GigasVeemon's ability is to raise the power of physical attacks." FizzHawkmon answered.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot we were suppose to give these to you!" GigasVeemon said. Each Djinn gave a device to their respective master.

"What are they?" Kari asked.

"There D-3's." FizzHawkmon replied.

"What's a D-3?" Ken asked.

"D-3's have the ability to store Djinn, as well as identify them. When you want to use a certain Djinn's ability you use the D-3 to activate the Djinn. It has three modes, discover, detect, and digital. Hence the name D- 3." FizzHawkmon answered once again.

"How do you know so much about this?" Yolei asked.

"I was given this knowledge to help whoever was able to use the D-3's." FizzHawkmon said.

"Well now that that's settled, we should get back to town and buy supplies for our journey." Davis said.

"We also need to tell our parents" Kari said. They all agreed and began to walk back to Vale.

******************************************************** (At Town)

The four adepts arrived at the town shop, after getting gold for their parents and explaining the situation to them (Leaving out the fact that Tai was still alive), they were given gold to buy their equipment.

When the adepts stepped outside, they had almost completely changed their equipment.

Davis now had a long sword sheathed on his back. He wore a green cape, with the same tunic, but now he had a wooden shield hooked on the belt that held his sword.

Ken had a long sword as well. He now wore padded gloves and boots, as well as his tunic, and had a wooden shield on his back.

Kari had bought herself a short sword; she was wearing a pink travel vest and padded gloves, with a wooden shield.

Yolei had also bought a short sword; she was wearing a red travel vest, with padded gloves, a wooden shield, and a leather helmet.

"Great now that we have our equipment we'll be able to leave tomorrow." Davis said cheerfully. They all agreed and returned to their homes for the night.

******************************************************** (That Night at Davis' House)

Davis was lying in his bed thinking about what dangers and adventures laid ahead tomorrow.

'I won't let them down. Gennai don't worry we'll get you back and save the world, I know we will!' Davis looked over on the cot that had been moved into his room for GigasVeemon to sleep. Davis smiled at the sleeping Djinn. Davis' thoughts drifted off as he fell asleep.

******************************************************** (Ken's House)

'I hope were ready for whatever's out there.' He looked over to GustWormmon.

'I wonder what GustWormmon's ability is...'

******************************************************** (Kari's House)

'How can Tai be alive? We were sure he was dead. I'm happy he's alive, but evil? Why Tai why? Maybe we can save him too...'

******************************************************** (Yolei's House)

'Talk about a rough day! I go from a normal teenager, to a superhero in one day! I hope I can handle all of it...'

******************************************************** There's chapter two! Don't worry the next will have more action; I just needed to set the whole basic plot down for the story. Please R&R!
