Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon Tamers, Toei Animation, or anything else that created Digimon.

"talking"

'thinking'

"Renamon?!? It's been so long. What happened? Why were we brought back to the digital world?" Rika asked containing her happiness at the moment. The others by this time were off the bus running around hugging their digimon and talking.

"You never change do you Rika, so many questions but she can't answer them. All you need to know is that there is a reason for everything and I hope you're as happy to see your digimon as the others are." Said a tall, smiling man with short brown hair, she hadn't noticed him walk over but it seemed as though he had been listening to her.

"Who are you to say I never change!" she demanded as he walked closer. The others now noticed the strange man talking to Rika and gathered near incase she needed their help.

The man simply chuckled and answered "I know a lot about you Rika Nonaka and the rest of you as well. To answer who I am … my name is Gennai and I protect the digital world. And before you say a word I suggest you ask Ryo." Everyone promptly turned to face Ryo.

"Well… um see Gennai is the reason that the digital world stayed around this long he's kinda like the grown keeper, keeping it safe when the digidestined or well… tamers aren't here to watch over it." Ryo explained as best he could. 'Why is Gennai just showing himself to the tamers now, we really could have used him to help with the D-Reaper. Oh well he knows what he's doing.'

"That still doesn't tell us why we've been brought back here." Kenta said boldly.

"Yah, Kenta's right." Jeri who had been sitting Quietly the hole time agreed, "and why am I here, it's not like I have a digimon."

"Jeri how long has it been since you've looked at your d-ark?" Gennai asked calmly.

"Awhile… its not like I haven't wanted to its just … it hurts to know that he's gone…" she answered.

"Why don't you take a look?" Jeri pulled her yellow D-ark out of her green side bag and looked at the screen… there on the screen was a digi-egg. A smile covered Jeri's face as Gennai handed her the same egg. "Take care of him Jeri, ok."

"Oh will I ever. Oh Leomon I missed you." Jeri almost cried hugging the egg.

"Now that that's done, how about I tell you why you've been brought here. You may want to sit." Everyone quickly took a seat Suzie pulling Rika over to a tree with Henry, Terriermon, Ryo, Cyberdramon, herself and Lopmon.

"Ok start talkin' Gennai." Rika said getting impatient.

'Rika was always the impatient one. But impatiens was always cute on her.' Ryo thought to himself smirking.

"Alright then." Gennai began "It all starts many, many years ago. Here in the digital world before it was known to humans…when we were all very happy. There were six great powers spirit, beast, earth, water and machine. Out of all the two strongest were spirit and beast. To each power there was a kingdom."

"Wait you said there were six powers but only named five." Takato interjected.

"I was getting there… see the last of the powers was dark , evil driven to win the Great War."

"Great war?" Kazu spoke up "this is getting good."

"Yes the war between the good powers and the evil. You see there was and still is a legend about the guardians of the good but before they were found there was a great tragedy the spirit king was killed. Soon after his children grew to the age to fight and vowed to destroy the evil together and unite the powers. The queen knew only one way and that was for her to bring up the Husrtaive."

"What's a harteive?" Suzie asked.

"A Husrtaive, is a meeting of the powers… all records after the meeting were lost no one really knows what happened. We all presumed that the eight children destroyed the evil, but we think they may have just scared it off or trapped it some how because it's back…any questions." Gennai finished lying down on the grass.

"Yah, what happened to these royals the kids, why don't you just go find them?" Rika said confused.

"Yah Gennai Rika's right if they did whatever last time why can't you just get them to do it again?" Ryo said agreeing.

"No one knows what happened to them. We think they went home to their original world. See like you the kings and queens were brought here from … earth." Gennai answered calmly.

"Hold on did you say that these kids just left after they won and now you can't fine them?" Henry said trying to understand.

"Oh I could find them but they aren't all alive you see and the ones that are have given up their faith."

"Faith? I don't understand what you mean." Suzie said now very puzzled.

Before Gennai could answer Rika spoke up. "Their grown up, they can't care and even if they did, you need a child's faith in fantasy to find the digital world that's how Suzie got here the first time remember she had faith she believed and that brought her to us and most people lose the something that makes a child, a child. Someday we will too and then the world will choose others that simple. Am I right?" she ended turning from Suzie to Gennai.

"Yes and no. You see Rika not everyone loses that faith some keep it and others get so caught up in life or grief that they forget or don't want to remember they have it. But you're right in the way that many people do lose it." Gennai said with a sad smile. "but its getting near lunch you should find some food I'll be back later." With that he just vanished.

Takato, Henry, Roy and Rika stood, as did the others and they all got to work finding wood and food for everyone.
