Disclaimer- I do not own digimon

Note: 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 weeks early and most humans forgot most of the events that happen but not the digi-destined and some others.

The group walks in the sea of sand. No one talk to save energy. The heat using all its strength ripped the life from the heroes. They found a cliff casting a shadow over the yellow sand. The group ran of the hot sand to get there. "I see you made it," a soft voice said.

The group turned to see an elderly man sitting on a rock. He wore a gray over coat that reaches from his shoulder to his brown boots. The boots saw many things as they went from town to town. A gray beard came haft way down his chest with a point. His face outfoxed time by remaining that of a young man. "Lets get out of the desert," He said as he created a glowing portal behind him. The other knew not to trust him but they want to excapes the heat so the follow the stranger.

The world around them just jumped. The world was a desert then it was a cabin. It was cover with books. The shelves overflowed with old books. Stacks of books reach up to the two story high roof. "Sorry about the mess," the man said, "I am Merlin. Adviser to King Arthur."

"King Arthur as in sword in the stone?" Tai asked looking at the old man.

"Yes, holder of the crest of courage, and the beast of light," the Merlin said searching through the countless books. "Where is it? It's like finding a direct answer from the lady of the lake."

"Why don't you use the Light Tiger Prayer?" TK asked.

"It may work," Merlin said, "tiger of light I ask you for enlightenment to find that I search for."

"Why did you say that?" Agumon asked.

"They're like spells," Matt said, "The main change from spells are that prayer can be used by anyone."

"Oh," Agumon said just before a crash filled the room. Every one turned to see Tai looking at the remains of the stake of books he knock down. Agumon ran over to Tai. He looked at his friends and saw Tai's nose and mouth was replaced by a white tiger.

Merlin came up and looked at the pile and said, "thanks you Tai, for finding what I was looking for."

Tai starts to look around. He found parts of his face changed. "What happen to me?" Tai asked.

"Look like when said the Light Tiger Prayer, Light Tiger in you took control," Merlin said.

After Tai got Agumon to stop his new whiskers, He asked, "When will it go back to normal?"

"Who knows," Merlin said, "But I'm sure it'll change back while the others are getting their beast."

"What do you mean?" Matt asked.

Merlin responded by saying, "I'm going to send each of you to where your idle are. It will save time, the thing we need most. Tai and Kara will stay here and learn about the mage beast."

"Why do we need them?" Sora asked.

"A great evil is growing. One that the worlds have not see for hundreds of years," Merlin said.

"Why did you say worlds?" Taie asked.

"Our world and Tai's world are endanger," Merlin said, "they were once one world but a evil came and made darkness come over the land. Magic and Science did little to grow. A band of wizards was able to send the darkness in to the void. But from the spell the world split from magic and Science." Merlin throws golden dust onto the group making everyone but Tai and Kara vanish.

"What happen?" Tai said.

"I sent them to get their beast, cat face," Merlin said.

"Don't call me that," Tai said.

"My new big brother," Kara said with a smiled, "Cat boy." Tai just frowned never hating the cat references.

Merlin cleared his throat before he said, "Listen you two. What I'm about to tell you is very importance. Your beast will give you power that not even wizard have so you must try your best to hid them. Expressly you Tai."

"We me?" Tai asked.

"You one of the most powerful and It seam to be about to change your appearance," Merlin said, "The great evil wants you the most."

"Great evil?" Tai ask.

"Many years ago, a dark and vile creature was born. It used its immense power to bring darkness and fear to the land for hundreds of years. To stop it we, wizards, split the world into one of science, Tai your home, and one of magic, this world. The creature and all those who follow him were lost in the gap in between the two. The lady of the lake and me both knew it would return so we made plan. We used powers matching or greater than ours create the mage beasts. Now that it's close to the time, the beast are calling those they choose to work with."

"If the evil is coming what about the others?" Kara asked.

"Don't worry little one, they're shielded and close to there beast," Merlin said, "I'll returned them here when they have them. Come Tai, I must make sure your hidden from its sigh."

"Why me?" Tai asked with his face still of a tiger.

"You are a warrior for light and courage the two forces he hates most," Merlin said, "And you know science and may learn magic. The two forces he wants separated. Come with me." Tai nod and follow

"I'm coming too," Kara yelled.

"Of course. The other will return to this room and will need to rest," Merlin said leaving the room.
