Total Recall

Duskynite: This is post-Malomiyotismon era, okay ppl? I've been stewing on this story for a while. Who knows, maybe it'll be good. We've still got Katie from 'Loyalty and Compassion' but this takes place with Seasons 1&2.

Ryu: HIIII!!

Duskynite: Ignore him, he's my muse. Ryu! **smacks him on the head**

Ryu: HEY!! Be nice! I'm valuable!

Duskynite: I'm sure you are. Now, tell the nic people the disclaimer so I don't get sued.

Ryu: **sighs** Duskynite doesn't own Digimon. If she did, it'd be Taiora, Daikari, and T.K./Catherine all the way.

Duskynite: hey, they were so cute together!

Ryu: the story..?

Duskynite: oh yeah!

On with da fic!

"Davis Motimoya, you get your butt down here NOW!!" Jun roared, glaring daggers at the auburn haired boy squeezed onto the bookshelf. "It's a bloody toy! Leave it!"

"Jun? Go away." Davis muttered, inching towards DemiVeemon, who was absolutely frozen with terror. The little blue Digimon had been chasing Minomon-who was now hiding safely in Ken's bookbag-when Jun came in. Now, he was cornered and felt like he was going to throw up at the same time. Lovely.

"Dai-chan, I am gonna come up there and DRAG you down in a minute!" Jun shouted, her face turning a nice shade of purple. Davis looked helplessly at Ken, who was trying not to laugh. The blue-haired boy finally decided that now would be a good time to distract his friend's sister before she manually dragged him off the shelf.

"Hey, Jun? Matt's outside," he pointed out the window. Jun raced, squealing, out of the house.

"You do realize," Davis commented, finally grabbing DemiVeemon by one of his paws, "that if Matt really IS out there, you will be in very big trouble."

"He's not there, don't worry."

"Good, then let's get outta here."

The two boys tore down the stairs, not bothering with the elevator, and raced out onto the street. They were headed to the Kamiya (A/N: for those of you who use Yagami, I apologize. I only know Kamiya) house- Tai had called this morning saying he had news.

"Not a new threat, I hope," Ken grumbled as they boarded the bus. Davis shrugged and waved to a lavender-haired girl at the back of the bus.

"Oi, Yolie!"

Yolie waved and Ken looked away, his face turning scarlet.

"You're gonna have to ask her out sooner or later," Davis muttered as they headed to the back of the bus.

"Hey, guys," Yolie grinned, Poromon snoozing in her lap. "Any idea what's up?"

"Nope. Tai just said it was important."

"Ah, okay."

The bus unloaded and the kids raced up to the Kamiya's apartment.

"Finally!" Tai ushered the three kids into his room and plunked himself down by Izzy, who was typing madly away at the computer.

"Okay, what's going on?" Davis let DemiVeemon out of his bag and the little blue monster joined his digi-buddies on the ground.

"New developments in the Digital World," Kari explained, sitting down next to him. Davis bit his tongue, trying to prevent the blood from rushing to his face. "A bunch of old codes reappeared and they're creating a lot of mess."

"Old.codes?" Cody asked curiously, looking up from the book he was reading. "Like Digimon codes?"

"Yep," Matt nodded.

"So long as they're safe codes, we shouldn't have a problem," Joe mused from where he was sitting by the door. Next to him, eyes closed from sheer exhaustion, Katie nodded mutely.

"You were working late again," Mimi accused, wapping her friend on the head. Katie grunted and batted it away.

"Well, what other codes could they be?" T.K. asked Izzy, who was staring intently at the screen.

"I don't know," he admitted. "They've been registered in just about all of our Digivices before- they recognize the data- the question is: whose data is it?"

"How long should it take to figure out?" Sora asked, putting a hand on Tai's shoulder and looking over it, concern etched in her face.

"About ten more minutes."

"Hey, Agumon! You're gonna set this place on fire!" DemiVeemon yelped, retreating under the bed to avoid the little sparks of flame dancing around the dinosaur-like Digimon.

"No, I'm not, am I?" Agumon turned to the other older Digimon. Gomamon and Tarkamon were a safe distance away so they shook their heads. Tentomon and Palmon followed DemiVeemon, and Gabumon, Biyomon, Patamon, Gatomon, all shrugged nervously.

"Just be careful, Agu," Tai warned. His friend nodded.

"HOLY CRAP!!" Izzy shouted, shoving back from the computer as fast as he could and nearly running T.K. and Yolie over in the process. Everyone jumped to their feet.

"What WHAT?!" Matt and Tai shouted in unison.

"It's.it's.oh, lord we are so dead," Izzy gasped, pointing at the screen. "Th-the data.look!"

The older kids crowded around the computer. Davis, Ken, Yolie, and Cody waited patiently, wondering what it could be.

Katie was the first to spring away, her face white.

"It can't be.." She croaked. "No! He's gone!!" She staggered backwards across the room until she had banged into the far wall. Joe hurried after her and sat down, trying to calm her. His face was drawn and serious. The other four looked at each other, and took the empty spaces, Cody climbing up on Davis's shoulders.

"Oh, god,"

"Nonononoonono!!"

"They're dead. They're DEAD!" Kari screamed at Tai, jabbing a finger at the screen. "They should be DEAD!!!!"

Davis stared with wide eyes at the glowing screen. He only recognized a few of the twisted, ugly faces on the screen, but the obvious fear, disgust, and confusion on the faces of his friends was enough to give him a full idea of the problem.

"Are they mobile?" He asked faintly. Izzy nodded, Mimi's nails digging into his shoulders as she stared, transfixed at the screen.

The leering, mocking faces, of the Dark Masters stared back.

Tbc.

Duskynite: Hmmm..I'll have to see if I continue this one. It'll depend on how many ppl read and review.

Ryu: OR SHE'LL GET REALLY UPSET AND CHASE ME AROUND!! **cowers under table**

Duskynite: Get back here you ridiculous dragon!!
