Chapter 2: Reformatted
It was a relatively quiet day at Primary Village. Although it might seem hectic to some people, however after having to deal with the flood of babies from the Dark Masters and the Digimon Emperor, Elecmon was practically having a vacation.
As he was about to take a break, he noticed a large group of data headed this way. "Of course, right when I think I'm done." the rookie muttered to himself as he got up.
As he got to the field where the eggs formed, he stopped in his tracks. The data wasn't forming into eggs, it was forming into human like shapes. "What in the Digiworld is going on?" he asked in confusion.
As he watched in amazement more data flew by, depositing a digiegg by each form, along with an odd shaped digivice. 'That's odd, I could swear I've seen them somewhere before.' Elecmon thought out loud as he walked over to the completed forms.

Tai was bored. Tai didn't want to say that the meeting was boring, but he kept having to fight down the urge to club himself unconscious with his briefcase.
'As important as a lot of this stuff is,' He mused, ' you would think that they would dispense with the politics and just talk it out like normal people.' He sighed and looked down at Agumon. "Remind me again how I was talked into this job."
"Well, Azulongmon needed someone to represent the digiworld, and since you're the leader of the digidestined, they chose you." Agumon answered simply. "Look on the bright side. At least they didn't choose Mimi or something."
Tai shuddered at the thought. Mimi was nice, but she had a habit of speaking her mind when she talked, and would probably accidentally insult someone if she were in his position.
Agumon continued talking "And it's not like Gennai could do it, he's too busy keeping an eye on the digiworld."
As he said this Ken's laptop chimed. Ken looked down as it flashed Incoming Message. "Speak of the Devimon." He commented as he saw who it was from. "Hey Tai, incoming." He said as he opened the link.
Gennai appeared in a window, and he looked a little stressed. "Tai, Ken, we've got an emergency."
"What's the problem?" Asked Tai.
"Just meet me at Primary village. I'll explain there." Gennai said as the window closed.
"It must be pretty big if he's going himself." Tai said as he gathered his things.
The two digidestineds and their partners excused themselves from the meeting, saying that there was an emergency and made there way out of the conference room.
"What do you think is going on? Tai asked as they walked through the lobby.
"Your guess is as good as mine." Agumon shrugged.
"Izzy and I do our best to monitor the Digital World, so I dbout it's something huge, just important."
"I hope your right Ken." Tai said as they walked up to one of the lobby's computer terminals. "Ready?" he asked.
"Ready!" They all courused.
Tai opened up the Program and set the coordinates as close as he could to Primary Village. "Digiport open." Tai shouted as they held up their digivices. With a bright flash of light their bodies turned into data and disappeared into the monitor.

Bright light was the first thing that TK saw as he came to. He squinted as he tried to make his eyes focus.
"Hey, your awake!" shouted a familiar voice.
"Who...?" he mumbled as he turned to the direction the voice came from. He squinted to get a better look. Two large eyes were staring straight at him. "Whoa!" he shot up, throwing the surprised elecmon off of his chest. He sat there for a couple of seconds trying to get his heart to slow back down.
"Gee thanks a lot." grumbled a voice from near his legs. TK looked down to see Elecmon looking up at him with a look that seemed to be a cross between annoyance and curiosity. It took him a second to realize what happened.
"Oh! Sorry about that Elecmon, you-." he said as he rubbed the back of his head. TK stopped all of the sudden as he felt something soft brush against his hand. He touched it. 'It feels like a feather.' He turned his head to look at it. His jaw went slack. "What in the..." He was looking at four white wings. He quickly turned around to see a similar sight on his other side. He had eight wings coming from his back. He blinked. They were still there. He rubbed his eyes. Same result. He reached out and grabbed one. He could actually feel his hand as he grabbed the wing. 'Okay this is just freaky.' he thought.
"Are you alright kid?" Asked Elecmon. "What kind of digimon are you guys anyway? You didn't even form eggs. Just went to the forms you're in now." Stated the confused elecmon.
"I... I don't know... Last time I checked I was human... The last thing I remember was... falling off that cliff... A-are you saying I was reformatted?" he managed to say through his daze.
"Human?" Elecmon said as he took a closer look at the boy. "TK!?"
"Nice to see you again too." the boy commented wryly.
"What in the digiworld happened to you guys?" The digimon asked finally
"The others are here too?!" TK asked, finally comprehending his earlier statement.
Elecmon motioned to behind where the boy was sitting. The rest of the group was laying on the ground in transformed states.
Kari had wings similar to his own coming from her back. A golden halo floated over her head with digicode symbols written on it, while two large bracelets, which looked like slightly smaller versions of her halo, hovered around her wrists without actually touching them. She was wearing sleeveless white robes, with the crest of light tatooed on her upper arms.
Davis looked like he was fused with XV-mon. Although his head and chest still looked human, his arms and legs had claws and orange scales. He had two leathery wings growing out of his back, and a lizard-like tail growing from his rear that was almost as long as he was tall. (A/N: For anyone who's played Breath of Fire 3, Think of Ryu's warrior dragon forms.) And to top it all off, on his head sat his goggles with digicode written on frames.
Yolie had a pair of purple feathery wings growing out of her back that, while folded at her sides, almost reached her feet. Where her feet used to be were talons, and from the waist down she was covered in small feathers, with long tail feathers coming from behind her. She was wearing a torn leather shirt, and had leather, fingerless gloves on her hands with a digicode symbol on each.
Mimi was dressed in a shiny, light blue dress, which was embroidered (A/N: I think that's the right term) with digicode, with the crest of sincerity on the front. From her back sprouted a pair of fairy-like wings that seemed to sparkle in the sun. Hanging from her now-pointed ears were two large earrings shaped like the crest of sincerity, matching the ones on her dress.
Izzy was wearing a suit of sleek, high-tech armor that completely covered his body. The armor was silver with yellow lining. The helmet on his head had a green tinted visor covering his eyes. On the armor's chest plate and shoulder pads, was the crest of Knowledge.
And lastly, Joe looked like a digital doctor. Like a doctor, he was wearing a doctor's coat, had a stethescope around his neck, and one of those headbands with the metal disks on the front. Of course, he also had digicode symbols on the headband and in random locations on the coat. On each side of his coat was the crest of reliability.
TK stood there trying to comprehend what he was seeing. He also noticed that he was wearing white robes covered with digicode and had a sword at his side. He noted that the digicode on his robes seemed more elaborate than normal. Curiously, he took a closer look at his staff. It was a long silver rod with, a bright yellow gem set on the top. The rod itself was carved with The same kind of digicode as his robes, and the gem on the top seemed to glow softly.
TK sighed as he put the staff down. "Well, at least I'm not the only one like this." He then turned to Elecmon. "Once Izzy wakes up, he can probably tell us what's going on." He explained to the digimon.
As he was talking this, Davis started to get up slowly. His eyes finally focused on TK. It took him a few seconds before he finally said "You know TA," He joked tiredly, "If I was gonna die the least they could do was have Kari greet me." Davis said as he stretched and lay back down. "Anyway, what's with the outfit?"
TK had to chuckle at Davis' joke, but he stopped as the last question reminded him of their situation. "Well... the bad news is that we did die, or at least get deleted, the good news, if you can call it that, is we were reformatted."
Elecmon decided to take this opportunity to check on the others.
It took a second for this to sink in. Davis looked at TK again. "Wait, you mean..." He trailed off as TK nodded. He finally sat up and began to look at himself. He experimentally flexed his clawed hand, then tried to move his tail. After succeeding in both, he turned back to TK. "Do me a favor and pinch me, will ya. I'd rather not try with these claws."
TK sighed, but went ahead and pinched his arm. "Convinced yet?"
Davis' response was not what TK expected. "COOL!!!"
TK stood there with a confused look on his face, "Wha..."
Davis noticed TK's look. "Oh, come on. Don't tell me you've never wanted to be a digimon before?"
"Davis, we don't even know if this can be reversed."
"Yeah, but what's the point in worrying about it. If it can be reversed, great, if not we're stuck like this, so why worry about it."
TK opened his mouth and tried to come up with a response. He couldn't. He couldn't think of anything to argue with Davis' cheerful attitude.
Said teenager was taking the oppertunity to look at the others. "You know, this is about right." He said as he looked at everyone's forms.
"Pardon?"
"This is pretty much how I would picture us if we were digimon. I mean, all of are forms seem to fit who we are."
TK stopped and thought about that for a minute. It made sense. Izzy once told him that the digital world had the ability to reflect a person's will to an extent. Maybe this was an example of that.
"So, have you tried to fly yet?"
The question caught the digidestined (or digimon) of hope by surprise. "Wha..."
"Have you tried to fly yet?" Davis repeated. "I know I'm going to try." He said as he stretched his dragon-like wings and flapped them a few times as a test."
"Yeah, but..."
"It should be easier for you than me. Angel digimon just seem to levitate. Try it."
"Did someone feed you a few bags of sugar while I wasn't looking." TK asked dryly
"Just try."
TK sighed and gave in. "Alright, alright, I'll try. What should I do?"
"Hey, do I look like an expert? Just try to concentrate on flying."
TK shook his head, but tried anyway. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before concentrating on lifting into the air. He was somewhat surprised as he felt his feet leave the ground. Opening his eyes he noticed he was hovering about four feet off the ground.
"Alright TG!"
"Davis, if you don't knock it of with my name..." TK warned/threatened.
"Hey TK, relax. Why don't you try moving around up there?"
TK tried moving forward, and was surprised at the ease at which he was able to control it. after a couple of mid-air manuvers he flew back to Davis.
"You know, I actually feel better." TK realized as he landed on the ground.
"I had a feeling you would." Davis Cheered. "Anyway, My turn."
"Knock yourself out. I'm going to try to wake Izzy up. Maybe he can tell us what's going on."

Meanwhile, a couple of miles away from Primary Village, a lone TV set sat in a clearing. All was quiet, until said TV screen flashed and deposited the two humans and their partners in a heap of boddies with a round of groans.
"There gotta be a better way to do this." Said Tai from the bottom of the pile
"Izzy said that digiports usually work better if one person goes at a time." Ken replied.
"You know," Started Wormon from the top, "usually the one in the back ends up on top."
"Now he tells us." Groaned Agumon.
After everyone untangled themselves, Ken scanned the area. "Primary Village should be about two miles that way." He said as he points in the direction.
"There may be trouble up ahead." Tai states. "Ken why don't you take Stingmon, and go ahead of us. We'll catch up to you."
"Good Idea." Ken agreed

Wormmon digivolve to...... Stingmon

"OK Lets get moving." Stingmon says as he scoops up Ken and takes to the air. "We'd better get moving too." Tai said as he started jogging down the path, Agumon following.

Back at Primary Village, everyone was just waking up, and the responses to their situation were about as differrent as they were.
"Prodigious!" Izzy exclaimed as he messed around with the computer in his helmet.
"Great, you'd think after all these years, I'd learn to expect things like this." Joe sighed as he looked at himself.
"This is so cool!" Said Mimi as she looked at her reflection in the water.
"OK, this is kind of freaky." Stated Yolie as she ran her fingers through one of her wings.
"Actually, after all we've been through, this is kinda normal." Kari stated as she ran her hand along her halo.
"Are you guys kidding? This is great!" Davis said as he landed right in the middle of the group.
TK was just finishing typeing in his D-Terminal. "Hey guys! I got an e-mail from Gennai, and he said he's on his way."
"Good, maybe he can give us some answers." Yolie said in a hopeful tone.
"Actually it's fairly simple when you think about it." Izzy said without looking up from his built-in computer.
"Huh?" The two asked
"Think about it. When we come here to the digital world our bodies are converted to data so we can survive here." Izzy hinted as he continued to mess with his new toy.
"Yeah, but we're still human." TK Said.
"Do you remember how Arukenimon and Mummymon were made?"
"Didn't Oikawa say that he..." Yolie started to ask before it dawned on her. "oh."
"What?" TK asked.
"He said he converted his DNA to data."
Before TK could say anything, Izzy interrupted "Prodigious! Hey guys! Could I get a volunteer over here?" Izzy asked the group.
"What for?" TK asked cautiously.
Izzy tapped his helmet. "This thing has a digimon analyzer in it. I want to see if we register as digimon."
"I'll try!" Volunteered Davis as he dashed over. "I want to see what kind of digimon I am."
"OK. Hang on a sec." Izzy opened a hatch on his left arm and began typing into a keyboard that appeared there. "Here Goes." He finally said as he pushed a button. And you could see text appear on his visor. (A/N: All the digimon mentioned below belong to me.)

Digimon Analyzer: Wariordramon, Perfect (Ultimate) Level, Vaccine Type, Dragon/Man Hybrid Digimon. This brave warrior seeks out and stops menaces with his Brave Claw and Fiery Aura attacks.

"Sweet!" Davis cheered.
"Me next!" Shouted Mimi excitedly.
"OK"

Digimon Analyzer: Feymon, Perfect Level, Data Type, Fairy Digimon. This beautiful fairy is a master of magic and illusion. She defends herself with her Fairy Dust and Magical Missile attacks.

"Cool!" Mimi Cheered.
"Here goes nothing." Joe said as he stepped forward.

Digimon Analyzer: Docmon, Perfect Level, Vaccine Type, Doctor Digimon. He goes around the digiworld treating sick or injured digimon. He uses his Thousand Shots and Electroshock Therapy to protect himself and his patients.

"I suppose that's not too bad." Joe thought, bringing his hand to his chin.
"What about me?" TK asked as he floated over (having gotten the hang of flying).

Digimon Analyzer: Rune Angemon, Perfect Level, Vaccine Type, Wizard Angel Digimon. This Angelic Wizard casts spell with the use of magic runes. His Holy Rune attack can banish darkness and his Runic Staff attack can launch powerful magic at his enemies.

"That's kinda cool, I supose." TK said thoughtfully as he looked at his staff again.
"Do me next." Yolie ordered as the wings on her back ruffled a bit.

Digimon analyzer: Razor Harpymon, Perfect Level, Virus type, Bird-Man Digimon. She is a master at Arial Combat and generally enjoys high places. Her Razor-Feather Barrage will cut her enemies to shreds and her Harpy Shout hits with a concusive blast.

"Great, I'm a virus type digimon." Yolie complained dryly. "That'll look good on my Resume."
"Don't worry about it." Davis said positively. "As long as you stick by us no one will bother you." He turned back to Izzy. "Anyway, I believe Kari was next?"
"Let's see..."

Digimon Analyzer: Halomon, Perfect Level, Vaccine Type, Angel Digimon. This divine digimon uses her halos to perform great works of good. She protects the innocent with her Halo Shot and her Grand Halo attacks.

"That's neat." Kari said with a smile.
"What about you Izzy?" Yolie asked.
"Um, OK." He said as he took off his helmet and pointed it at himself before activating the analyzer.

Digimon Analyzer: Techmon: Perfect Level, Data Type, Cyborg Digimon. He is capable of upgrading his armor by copying another digimon trait with his Copyrighter attack and can store up to four non-conflicting upgrades. When not using an armor upgrade, he attacks using his Tech Blaster attack.

"Prodigious!" Izzy said as he scanned the readings. "You guys wouldn't mind if I tested it, would you?"
Everyone in the group except Davis looked at eachother and then backed away from Izzy a step.
Finishing with his helmet, Izzy looked up to see their response. "Thanks for volunteering Davis." Izzy said as he noticed his 'volunteer'.
"Wha..." Said Davis as he noticed his position.
"Ok let's see if this works. Copyrighter!" Izzy finished with a yell. A flat line of light came out of his helmet and scanned over the confused Davis like a copy machine would. When it finished his armor had changed. The colors had changed from silver to orange, the hands and feet of the armor had changed into mechanical claws, and from the back of his armor sprouted two large metalic wings shaped like Davis'.
"Prodigious!" Izzy said as he examined his new armor.
"That felt wierd." Davis said as he rubbed his right arm.
"This is-" Izzy began until his visor went off. He looked where it was pointing, and saw a dot in the distance coming towards them.

Meanwhile, hidden in the clouds, the grey cloaked figure watched Ken and Stingmon as they made their way towards Primary Village. He chuckled evily to himself. 'If I'm not mistaken, the child of kindness was the one who was implanted with a dark spore. It should be interesting to see how he reformats.' he thought as his hand began to glow with a dark power.

TK and Kari's heads suddenly snapped towards the sky as they sensed the darkness around.

As Stingmon flew quickly to get to primary He suddenly felt Ken tense up.
"What's wrong?"
"The darkness..." Ken muttered as he started shaking. "Wormmon get us-"
Ken and Stingmon never saw what hit them as a dark blast engulfed the surrounding area.

Tai was walking quickly along the path to Primary Village. Although they had faith in the other two, they still wanted to make sure everything was OK. Suddenly, The forest was rocked by an explosion, and The digidestened and digimon were knocked off their feet.
"What was that!?" Tai asked as he got back to his feet
"I don't know but-" Agumon started before he was suddenly cut of as another explosion ripped through the area they were in. deleting them instantly.

Back at Primary Village, TK and Kari were about to warn the others, when they saw the explosion of dark energy. Before they could go investigate the disturbance a group of data landed in the field and began to take shape into a human shape and a digiegg each. As they watched the data finish forming, a second explosion followed and another group of data flew by and began forming in a similar fashion. By this time, the dark feeling had disapeared. Everyone was left looking in shock at the digimon who had been reformatted. To Be continued
