Chapter 2

"What?" I almost screamed. I had never seen this kid in my life, and he claimed to be the source of all of my pain. That was far too much to handle.

"It's complicated. But, right now, I need your help." Craig said, running behind me.

As if to answer him, the portal opened up again, this time a giant digimon coming out. It looked like a cross between a soldier and a ninja. It raised a giant gun and fired. "Sharpshooter!" It called. A giant missile shot out, flying straight at us.

"Wormmon digivolve to: Stingmon!" I heard. In an instant, my digimon had leapt in front of us, blocking the shot. He was blown backward and immediately became Wormmon again.

"What is that thing?" I asked as we ran away.

"He's called Bountymon," Craig answered, "He's above the mega level, like Omnimon. I made him kind of mad. Hold on!"

"Digiarmor Energize!" Craig said. A digiegg emerged from his D3, which I hadn't noticed before, and merged with his Gotsumon. Gotsumon grew bigger, sprouting green armor on his shoulders and front, along with a matching helmet and legs.

"Gotsumon armor digivolve to: Chronomon, Guardian of Time" The enormous Digimon lifted it's arm up and said, "Chronowarp!" He shot an energy blast into the open, and the portal appeared. We were sucked in and the portal shut.

It was actually just like travelling between the Real World and the Digital world. There were flashing colors and I felt myself twisting along. Then, I popped out, unbelievably, in my old throne room.

"Sorry, I should have warned you," Craig said, "My crest is the Crest of Time. I'm not like the other Digidestined, Chronomon and I have the ability to alter destiny. That's kind of what we did to you."

"How? What did you do?" I asked stupidly.

"You see, Ken, there are actually thousands of worlds besides these ones. My job is to make sure that everything turns out fine in them all. Unfortunately, when we travel, the worlds sometimes overlap. In another world, you and your brother were both supposed to get digivices. But, when we warped, yours got misplaced. This caused you to miss the first adventure that the Digidestined had."

"Likewise, it altered your entire future in effect. You met your friends under different circumstances, and fell in love with Yolei. However, in this world, she and Davis are soul mates, and in the future, they will have a child that will be pivotal in a battle to save the digital world, just like his parents. You, on the other hand, have not yet found your destiny. In fact, the Ken from another world has lived out your life for you."

"So, what are you going to do about it?" I asked, trying not to hit him. This kid had ruined my life!

"It can be reversed. Unfortunately, It will require a lot of power, and We have to defeat Bountymon first. And for that, Ken, we must get your old friends.
