Chapter 8 Everyone Meet Up

~Takato's home~

Takato just woke up from a peaceful sleep when his mum calls "Takato there someone on the phone for you!"

"I wonder who that can be?" Takato says as he walks to the phone and picks it up "Hello?"

""Are you Takato?""

"Yeah?"

""Come to the park with your partner""

"Why?"

""Just come at the pond!""

The phone hangs up "Who was that?" Takato looks at the phone and place it back on the hook.

~Ai and Mako~

"Are you the tamers of Impmon?" a man in the shadows said to them

"Yeah we are" both said together

"Who are you and don't touch them!" Impmon jumps in front of them

"I will tell you when you come to the park at the lake you and your twin tamers" the figure said and disappeared.

"Who was he?" Ai asks

"Why the park?" Mako asks the second question

"We will answer it when we go to the park" Impmon says to them.

~Kanta and Kazu~

"Hey Guardromon what bugging you?" Kazu asks his partner

"Nothing Kazu only thinking of what happened a week ago" Guardromon replies

"Hey it's over and you can walk down the street with us without people screaming" Kazu says with a smile

"True" Guardromon says to Kazu

"Kazu we got this weird guy following us" Kanta runs up beside Kazu

"I notice that, I wonder why he is, lets stop and ask him why" Kazu says to Kanta and they do.

"Are you the tamers of Guardromon and Marineangelmon?" the man asks them

"Yeah we are what's is it to you?" Kazu answers the question

"You and your Digimon meet in the park at the pond and your question will be answered" the man says to them and vanishes in a bright flash.

"Looks like we have to go" Marineangelmon says to Kanta

"Lets go" Kazu says and they head to the park.

~Jeri~

"Worf!" Jeri stuck the puppet out the window and looked at Leomon "It's a lovely day how about we go to the park?"

"I have to agree it is a nice day" Leomon replied and jumped off and Jeri came out the door minutes later.

"Leomon who's that?" Jeri pointed to a cloaked man walking up to them

"No idea" Leomon replied

"Are you Jeri the tamer of Leomon?" the man asked

"Yes why do you ask?" Jeri replied

"Go to the park at the pond with your partner and the question will be answered" the man said and walked away from them

"Why go to the park?" Leomon asked the man.

The man replied, "The other tamers will be there" the man carries on walking away and went around the corner.

"Lets go Leomon" Jeri said, Leomon nodded and they set of to the park.

~Ryo~

Ryo and Monodramon walk up to Hypno's main doors. "We here now… can you tell me why we here?" Monodramon asks Ryo

"Him" Ryo points to a cloaked man looking at them "He was following us and when I noticed he walks away, so I decided that we should follow him" Ryo tells Monodramon.

"Are you the tamer of that Digimon?" the man asks them

"Yeah I am and that Digimon has a name Monodramon" Ryo tells the man.

"You and Monodramon go to the park at the pond, and before you ask any questions there will be answered when you arrive" the man says to them and walks away.

"Weird guy" Monodramon says to Ryo

"Yeah but I wonder why the park… we better go and see why" Ryo says to his partner and walks towards the park with Monodramon.

~Henry~

Suzie enters Henry's room "Henwy can Terriewmon play with me and Lopmon?" Suzie asks

"It not up to me Suzie it's up Terriermon if he wants to or don't want to" Henry says to his little sister.

Terriermon gave a strange look at Henry "Henry are you feeling ok?"

"Yeah I am, you're my pal and I think it's really your choice if you want to play with Suzie and Lopmon" Henry replies and give a smile to Terriermon.

"Sure Suzie I'll play but no tea parties… I don't like them" Terriermon tells her

"Ok we will not play pawties we play…" Grab Terriermon "Dress ups!" Suzie runs out the room with Terriermon

All Henry could hear is "Henry! Help!" Henry shuck his head and smiles "it was your choice not mine" Henry says quietly

"Henry there is someone for you and Suzie!" Mr Wong calls out

Henry walks out the door and come to the front door "Yes?"

"Are you the tamer of Terriermon?" the man asks

"Yes why do you ask?" Henry asks him

"You and your sister come with your Digimon to the park at the pond and your questions will be answered" the man tells him and walks away.

"Who was that?" Terriermon asks Henry

"No idea but we have to go to the park if we going to answer that" Henry says to Terriermon

Suzie and Lopmon came to the door and Henry says to them "Come on you two we going to the park" Henry says to them, they leave their home and goes to the park.

~Rika~

Rika sat by a tree in the park watching Renamon train. "Everything is so different" Rika says quietly.

Renamon stops when she sees Takato and Guilmon coming up the path "Rika" Rika looks up at Renamon from where she is "Takato and Guilmon are coming up"

Rika looks at sees them "Hello Takato"

"Hi Rika, did you get the same message?" Takato asks her

"What message?"

"I got this weird phone call and the person said to come here" Takato explains to Rika

"Well I haven't, Renamon decided to train so I came to enjoy the sunshine while she trains" Rika tells Takato

"So you two are the first to arrive" the cloaked man walks up to them

"I have no idea what you mean I was already here and I haven't seen or got a phone call of you" Rika says to the man

"I know because you was already here"

Renamon looked at the cloaked man "Who is this jerk?"

"So we meet again and this cloak is working as a charm, I will give her a shock" the cloaked man thought, "The other tamers will be here soon and soon as they are here I will answer the questions"

"If your talking about Kanta and Kazu we will be waiting for years" Rika tells the cloaked man

"All the human race had a experiences that they will never forget, the curse might be gone but the evil is still strong" The cloaked man tells them.

"You mean that small time my mind was messed up" Rika looks at the man with a glare "I don't want to be reminded of that…"

Before Renamon could respond, Henry and Suzie came up the path with Terriermon and Lopmon

"Hey guys!" Henry calls to Rika, Takato, Guilmon and Renamon

"Hey Henry it's that guy again" Terriermon points to the cloaked man

"Henwy why are we here?" Suzie asks her brother

"We here Suzie because that man asked us to come here" Henry tells his sister

"That creepy guy over there… I would think we should have got a reason" Lopmon says looking at the cloaked man.

"We will wait till the tamers arrive before I answer your questions, all need to be here" the cloaked man tells the small group.

Rika looks at Renamon and notice that Renamon haven't stop staring at the cloaked man "Renamon" Renamon doesn't replies "Earth to Renamon Earth to Renamon!" Rika shouts and wave her hand in front on Renamon.

"Sorry Rika… I was trying to figure out where I heard that voice before…" Renamon trail off and look at the cloaked man and notice of a quick second, that the cloaked man had some kind of chest armour "I seen that before… can it be him?"

Kanta, Kazu, Jeri, Ryo, Ai and Mako come walking up the path with their partners and joined the group.

Before anyone can say 'hi' the cloaked man says to them "You all are here now we will go to my palace"

"Palace… whoa hold…" Takato tried to say and then the floor opened into a portal and all of them fell into it

They all landed on the floor of a large hall Renamon stood up and looks around "Well now I know where we are, we in Wargreymon's palace" Renamon says to the group

"Wargreymon… but his fictional" Takato says to Renamon

"I am not the same Wargreymon to the one in this show on your world" Wargreymon took of the cloak and looks at them

"Wargreymon!" all of them shouts except Renamon and Leomon

"I am the one that gave five of you the special d-arcs, and brought back Leomon back to life" Wargreymon tells them

Jeri looks at her d-arc and looks at Wargreymon "Why did our originals merge with our new ones?"

"It is because you five will be needing them in the future you five are the chosen ones, a legend said 'that one world will suffer the curse and we be turn to normal when the five create a beam of holy light that will repair all' that was the legend of the curse…" Wargreymon says to them and sits in his chair

"That didn't answer why they merged…" Jeri says to him

"No it don't… I was going to get to that, the two merged into one d-arc that will give you five the power to turn into Digimon and help your partners" Wargreymon tells them.

Ryo, Jeri, Takato, Henry and Rika stood there in shock what they was hearing "Hold on what about us?" Kazu asks Wargreymon

"I only had five, you, Kanta, Ai, Suzie and Mako will be protecting the real world from any attacks when the most powerful evil know to the Digital world comes… but I have no idea when this evil will come" Wargreymon tells Kazu

"Well at least we got something to do when pineapple head and the others go to the Digital world to stop this evil when ever it comes…" Impmon crossed his arms and looks at his twin tamers

Renamon looks at Rika and then Wargreymon "Why do they…"

"To answer why… it's in the legend, look on that tablet in the glass display" a Wargreymon point to the glass display and Renamon goes over to it and reads the markings.

'When great evil comes the chosen five of Hazard, Knowledge, Love, Friendship and Courage will have great powers to help their friends in battle, without the gift all will fail and darkness will cover the two worlds and all will be lost.

The chosen ones will process the power that will destroy the Darkest evil to enter the Digital world.

But Beware…'

Renamon looks at the part 'but beware' and sees a piece of the tablet is missing "Wargreymon there is a missing part to the tablet…" Wargreymon comes over and looks "I know… I never found the other piece at the old temple"

"Maybe we can find it" Takato suggest

"I don't think so… the temple is not there any more…" Wargreymon tells Takato

"What do you mean by not there any more?" Henry asks

"The temple just vanished without a trace" Wargreymon tells Henry and goes up the stairs "you all may look around, I wish to show you something in 2 hours" they nodded and Wargreymon went up and went into a room nearest the stairs.

"Come on Kanta lets look around" Kazu says to Kanta and both walk off with their partners

Henry goes to two large doors and opens one to see a large garden with a light house at the far back "We on a island or on the coast" Henry says to Terriermon and both go into the garden followed by Rika and Renamon

"I never seen so many flowers in one place" Rika says looking around the garden from the large doors "This palace is know for it's beauty" Renamon tells Rika

"I can see why it is" Rika walks into the garden looking around "Rika if you like a view of the whole garden, we can go to the light house" Renamon says to Rika

"Ok Renamon" Rika replies and goes to the light house, by the time Rika got up the stairs Renamon was already there looking out to sea "I see you jumped up" Rika says to Renamon taking her time to catch her breath

Rika looks down at the garden "Wow you was right, this view of the garden" Rika gave a small smile to Renamon "Rika this is a peaceful spot, I will be up here thinking if you need me" Renamon tells Rika

"Well Renamon I am coming back up here after I get some paper and a pencil, I would like to try and draw this garden from up here" Rika says to Renamon and goes down the stairs.

~Somewhere in the Palace~

Takato and Guilmon enter a large room with a large table in the middle "Whoa!" Takato says and his jaw drops

"Food! Lots and lots and lots of Food!" Guilmon shouts in joy and dive into the food straight away, Takato felt hungry seeing the food, sat down and grab some food from the dishes, and starts eating.

"This food is great Takato…" Guilmon stops in mid-sentence seeing Takato having problems eating the food "Takato are you ok?"

"Yeah, just can't eat any more… I am stuffed" Takato sat in his chair

"How about you use that power that Wargreymon said about and turn yourself into a Digimon" Guilmon suggests

"I am not sure I should Guilmon, it kind of misusing it" Takato says to Guilmon

"Ok Takato, I will stop too" Guilmon says to Takato and gets out the chair "Takato lets look around some more rooms"

"Ok lets go" Takato gets out of his chair and goes with Guilmon to a door and open it to see Wargreymon in it

Wargreymon steps to the side, they see a sphere of zero's, and one's spinning around it "I knew you two would be the first, this is a portal sphere"

"Portal sphere?" Takato looks at it closer

"Yes it can open two way portals to any where in the Digital world" Wargreymon tells Takato "About the power you have… because you are the one with the Hazard you have no real control over your power yet… some days you will find that you turn into a Guilmon without warning" Wargreymon warns Takato

"Why me…" Takato sighs

"Don't worry Takato, I am here with you" Guilmon says to Takato

"Thanks pal"

"I am sorry to tell you that" Wargreymon sits in a chair

"It's ok Wargreymon I accept that… I am the only one to not go through what the others did in mind wise" Takato says to Wargreymon "So that means I would have worse luck then them" Takato looks at Wargreymon

"I am placing you in charge of the portal sphere it will be safer in the real world" Wargreymon says to Takato "Take it and in 20 minutes I will return you all to the real world" Takato nod, takes the sphere, place it in his pocket and leave the room.

~Outside the garden on top of the Light House~

Rika sits on a sit on the top floor of the lighthouse drawing a bird eye view of the garden

Renamon looks over her shoulder and looks at the drawing "That is a good drawing Rika"

"Thanks, I am impressed myself" Rika looks at the drawing she done and looks at Renamon "What was you thinking about?"

"Well I was thinking about what Wargreymon said about you had that power" Renamon tells Rika "Don't worry Renamon I am not going to misuse it, I am going to use the power for the right reason" Rika ensures Renamon

"Rika everyone misuse new powers, it's a fact" Renamon tells Rika

"I know, but I will really try not to use it…" Rika says to Renamon "I know you will try not to, lets go back to the others" Renamon says to Rika and walk down the stairs, Rika close behind.

~In the palace in the library~

"Henwy this book is cool, can we take it with us when we go home?" Suzie asks Henry

"I am sorry Suzie it's not our books it's Wargreymon's" Henry says to Suzie and she looks down "I like this book Henwy, I want to keep it…" Suzie looks at Henry.

"We can't" Henry tells Suzie

"I WANT TO KEEP IT!" Suzie shouts and Wargreymon walks in "You can keep it if you wish, it's only a Digimon kids book anyway"

"Thank you!" Suzie smiles and runs out the room

"Nice little girl" Wargreymon watches her run out the room

"She is, that will make Terriermon happy" Henry says without looking at Wargreymon

"Let me guess Terriermon at first acted like a doll and had problems with your little sister" Wargreymon guesses and Henry nods

Ryo enters the room and looks at all the book "Whoa that is a lot of books"

"Yes it is and this library holds all the books I have collected in my time" Wargreymon says to Ryo

"Man you must have been one book lover" Ryo says to Wargreymon

"In matter fact I am" Wargreymon looks at Ryo

"Well can I borrow a book and return it next time I am here?" Ryo asks

"You can take one book and keep it" Wargreymon smiles and walks out the room

"Lets see" Ryo mumbles and starts looking through the books

~Meanwhile with Impmon and the Twins~

"Wow Impmon look at the view" Ai looks out the window on the second floor of the palace

"It's cool!" Mako shouts and looks at the view of the land "This is one cool place"

"I know the view looks cool but can you two at least step away from the window" Impmon asks them and both look at him and step away from the window "Thanks"

"Impmon… can we see the city you was at?" Make asks

"Yeah can we go there?" Ai asks as well

"No only virus Digimon can, plus it's a bit too rough for you two, I don't want you two to get hurt" Impmon says to them

"Ok Impmon we understand lets go back down" Ai walks down the stairs and Mako follows

Impmon looks back and sighs, "Life has a twist…" Impmon says to himself and does down the stairs

 ~The main hall~

Everyone gathered back at the main hall and Wargreymon walks down the stairs "Well this is good bye for a time, good luck in the future"

"Thanks for letting us look around and thank you for the info" Henry says to Wargreymon

"No problem, hope you like the book" Wargreymon says to Henry. Henry nods and says, "Yes I will like it"

"I will keep a good eye on the sphere" Takato ensures Wargreymon

"I am sure you will keep a eye on it Takato and keep in mind about the warning I gave you" Takato nods and place the sphere in is pocket

"You have one nice garden" Rika tells Wargreymon

"Thank you Rika for that comment and I hope you and Renamon the best of luck in the future" Wargreymon says to Renamon and Rika

"Thanks for the card man, this is one cool Digimon card" Kazu says to Wargreymon with some joy in his voice

"You and Kanta have cards that is very rare so take great cure of them" Wargreymon tells them and both nods

Wargreymon holds his hands out and a portal appears under them and they fall into it and it closes soon after they enters the portal "Now the waiting begin, only hope that the tamers will be ready when the evil comes…" Wargreymon whispers and walks up the stairs once again being alone in the large palace.

~Later that night in the Real World~

Impmon walks into the twins room and see them sleeping "This is been a day and a half for them being in a palace" Impmon whispers as he sits beside their beds.

"So much has changed, from a heartless Digimon, I became something that I thought I never expected, but I am glad to be able to keep a eye on Ai and Mako, my tamers" Impmon whispers and dozes off to sleep in the chair.

~Ryo~

Ryo sat on the roof of his home looking at the night sky and feeling the cold breeze, Monodramon climbs up the water pipe and see Ryo "Ryo I been looking for you everywhere"

"Sorry for worrying you pal I am only been looking at the night sky" Ryo looks at Monodramon and then look back at the sky.

"It is a nice night to look at the stars" Monodramon sits beside his tamer and look at the sky "I know it is Monodramon, I just felt like staying up here gazing at the stars, on a clear night like this" Ryo says to Monodramon and both them look up at the sky without saying any more.

~Kanta and Kazu~

Both walk down the park path talking to each other "How many games did I win after returning back to the park?" Kanta asks

"You beaten me four times in a row and Jeri beaten you and me twice" Kazu sighs "I am not as good, I use to be"

"We not as good because Jeri beaten us" Kanta says to Kazu

"Man your right Kanta, she is good, we been playing this game longer then she has and we still lose" Kazu pull the card that Wargreymon gave him "But at least I got this fanatic card"

Kanta pulls out his and looks at it "Yeah your right Wargreymon is one nice Digimon to let us keep theses cards, I wonder if they are going to help us out later on when this so called evil comes"

"We just have to wait, see you tomorrow at school Kanta" Kazu and Kanta split up at the park exit and head back to their homes.

~Jeri~

Leomon stood by a tree watching Jeri put her cards back in the box "Jeri you have done well"

"Thanks Leomon, I am getting better at that card game and those boys lost 4 times to me" Jeri puts her cards away and box the lid on. "I wonder if we will be a match to this new evil…"

"We might be" Leomon walks up to Jeri

"I better get going, dad going to be probably be worried about me, if I am late for dinner" Jeri says to Leomon and walks off down the path and waves "See you tomorrow Leomon"

Leomon nods and walks back to the tree and lean ageists it "A lot has happened, just hope mankind don't make mistakes that will have big affect…" Leomon looks up at the night sky. "The waiting has begun"

~Henry and Suzie~

Henry sat at the table thinking "A lot has happened the damage that was done before this morphing of the world, people are still rebuilding the city" Henry looks out the window seeing about 16 cranes in the view he was looking at. "Even Hypno's took damage, it was all caused by one large stone, just one very large stone with the power to turn humans into Digimon, I just hope there are no more like it around"  Henry sighs and keep on staring out the window.

"Hey Henry what the matter?" Terriermon jumps on his shoulder and look at Henry

"Just thinking" Henry replies in a quite tone

"Something is bothering you isn't it?" Henry looks at the bunny Digimon and nods "Tell me what's wrong and maybe I can help"

"Help… you mean joke" Henry says to Terriermon a loudly

"I promise I will not joke about anything what your going to say to me" Terriermon tells Henry in a tone that he means it for once

"Ok… I was thinking about the damage that was caused so easily, I just wish no one in this world have to go through it again" Henry says in a sad tone

"I hope so to Henry, it was kind of bad the first week all the humans became Digimon, it was like a war zone that wouldn't end" Terriermon also says in a sad tone, that surprises Henry.

"Do you know that the first time you said something that really surprised me" Henry admits to Terriermon

"Is it now? Well it looks like this bunny still got some surprises" Terriermon smiles and Suzie walks up to them with Lopmon.

"Henwy… me and Lopmon was wondering if you can read this to us as a bed time story" Suzie asks and Henry take the book

Henry reads some of it in his head and smiles "Oh course I will" Suzie jumps in joy "Thank Brother!"

"Lets go and I will read it" Henry takes Suzie to her room with Lopmon and Terriermon close behind.

Henry's dad watches them go in "That is a change… I never seen Henry read a bed time story to his sister" Mr Wong smiles

~Matsuki Bakery~

Rika walks up to the front of the shop and thinks "What on hell am I doing?" Rika shakes her head and walks away only to be stopped by Renamon.

"Rika, I think I know why you came all this way and I think you should go and talk to Takato" Renamon says to Rika, Rika looks at Renamon and thinks "She can't know what I thought before when he was in that champion form…I am doing it again what on hell is wrong with me…"

"Renamon your making something out of nothing, his just a gogglehead" Rika says to Renamon with a glare

"Rika that will not work you said I can do stuff without you ordering me remember" Renamon reminds Rika and Rika sighs, "Yeah I did say something like that…" Rika looks at Renamon and turn around, walks back to the bakery and knocks on the door "I hope I know what I am doing"

Mr. Matsuki walks to the door and opens it "Hello Rika what can I do for you?"

"Is Takato in?" Rika asks quietly

"Yes he is, his in his room, you may come in" Takato's dad les Rika in and she goes up the stairs and knock on Takato's door

Takato opens the door to see Rika "Rika, what bring you here at this hour?" Takato asks her still a bit surprised to see her

"To talk… gogglehead" Rika says coldly to Takato

"Ok…" Takato lets her into his room and looks at her "About what?"

"Well how about I got this crazy thoughts when you was a Growlmon…" Rika tells Takato and Takato looks at her

"What do you mean by crazy?" Takato asks

"God damn it even your not a dino any more your still acting like one" Rika shakes her head

"Sorry I just don't get what you mean by 'crazy thoughts' that's all"

"Ok I will make this short… I had a thought that you looked handsome as a Growlmon…" Rika stopped and thinks, "That came out wrong what the hell made me say that?"

Takato blushed a bit hearing that "you did?"

"I did say… no I didn't it came out wrong… grr damn it I haven't got a clue what I am saying…" Rika says and looks down

"To tell the truth when you said 'You care for me' I did…" Takato admits

Rika looks at him with surprise "I thought you only thought that because we was Digimon at the time"

"I still think that…"

"Well then this is going to be a secret because if anyone find out I gone this soft I will kill you, get the message" Rika glares at Takato

"Yes ma" Takato looks at her glare with fright "That glare always scares me…"

"Good, I better be going, see you around Goggles" Rika leaves the room

Takato fell on the bed and sighs "Man that was scary…"

Rika walks out the shop and sighs, "That the last time I admit anything like that…" Rika walks off down the street and heads home

The whole world is in peace once again, the lives of the human race slowly return to normal. The digital world slowly recovers from the battles that took place at Virus City and the dusty plains. In the flaming remains of the palace and chamber that was destroyed by the Cursed Store blowing up, a small dark portal starts to form and two red evil eyes glow from the small opening of the dark portal "My Time To Rise Will Come In Time, Prepare Chosen Ones, When I Am Realised The Greatest Battle In This World Will Come" The dark voice echoes in the ruins of the Palace.

End of Part 2… to be continued
