Disclaimer- I do not own digimon

Note: I got this ideal form Crystal Moon's The Digimon Empress Forget the 25 years later stuff at the end of series 2, this may change some of their lives from it. Malomyotismon was defeated a few months early and most people forgot most it but not the digi-destined and some others.

Family Responsibilities part 10

Henry and his team return to the castle to find that they were the last group to return. Tai and Kari sat with their digimon on their laps. Henry wonders why they were in their in-training forms. "About time. I was about to die of boredom," Yoli said, "What happen?"

"Machinedramon and Piedmon attack the castle," Tai said, "They were prepare for Wargreymon. With one blast from Machinedramon and he was down."

"It hurt," Koromon said with a weak voice, "I'm still not over it."

"Then what did you do, throw rocks," Terriermon asked.

"No," Kari said, "They were about to delete Wargreymon."

"And I warp-digivolve," Kari's partners yelled filled with prided, "I knew one was stronger than me but I faced two. I could not win but I could give time for the other to get away." She paused to give dramatic effect.

"Did you forget happen next?" Terriermon said.

"I did a dramatic pause," Nyaromon yelled hopping on Kari's lap.

"Momintai," Terriermon said in his cool mood.

"How come you're the only part of your body bigger than your ears is your mouth," the golden, furry ball yelled as Kari holding so she could not attack the large ear digimon.

Before Terriermon could respond, Tai said, "Terriermon don't say anything. This is one of the times that Nyaromon should get respect and you make one rude comment after another. You could be more like Gomamon. At lest his comment tries to make us happy." Terriermon closed his mouth.

"Luckily Rika and Renamon bio-merge to Sakuyamon," Nyaromon said.

"Sakuyamon and Piedmon fought and they were equal but," Kari said, "Machinedramon was stronger than Magnadramon, Gatomon's mega form. She would have been destroy but for a knight digimon. It had a lance for his left arm and a shield on his right."

Henry responded by saying, "That means."

"That right old friend I'm back," A young man no older than eight-teen. His shabby, light brown hair was keep from his blue eyes by a pair of goggles. A black vest with the hazard on the back covered his blue shirt. His light brown shorts reach his knees. Next to the teen was a large red raptor digimon. Before Henry could say anything, the Takato said, "Henry before you asked anything I want to see Rika."

Rika enter the room, she was the same age as Takato. Her red hair was pulled in the back. Her violet eyes stood out. She had a shirt with a pink heart on it. She had a black jacket on over it. She had form-fitting jeans on as well as large belts. Renamon stood next to her. "I think bio-merging did this," Rika said before the others could ask, "I like it."

"Takato who did you live?" Henry asked.

"I was in limbo the same as the sovereigns," Takato said. "Henry, Rika told me about the problem. How did it go?"

"Not so good," Henry said, "We still don't know how they block the portals and because of them, we lose the position of our world. Even if stop the blocker, we still need to find the way back of the portal."

"Is there anything we could do?" Rika ask.

"We need to find a way to get track our world. One mistake and we'll be in another world and we may not be able to get back," Izzy said.

"How did I get to the real world after Agumon digivolve to Metalgreymon?" Tai asked.

"Brawny (Spellcheck)," Takato said making every on look at him. "Brawny merge with me when I was Gallantmon. He was able to travel between the worlds. Some of him could be in Tai and Kari."

"What I want to know is why are the Dark Masters are only attacking us?" Cody asked.

"We'll find out later," Rika said, "Now how about we give Tai and Kari some time alone with Takato."

Everyone nodded and left the room. Tai, Kari, Takato and their digimon sat close to each other. "You two grew since I last lost you. If only I was here, I could have seen you two grow up."

"You're here now. That's better than never," Kari said.

"And we're not fully grown up yet," Tai said.

"I hope you're a little grown up," Guilmon said.

"What do you mean?" Tai asked.

Guilmon responded by saying, "You loved hid and seek. You'll play it with us with out us knowing. Finding him was not easy after all he has a little fox in him. When Rika was having you Kari, It was up to Renamon and me to watch Tai."

"Okay I get the point," Tai said with a little red in his checks.

Takato felt a small tapped on his leg. He looked down to see a gatomon at his feet. "Do you mind if I call you dad?"

Takato smiled and said, "You must be Kari's partner and my daughter." Gatomon returned the smile as Takato lift her up. "We need to get ready. Something tells me that the real fight is in our world."
