Chapter 2:
Regrouping and
Planning

Finally, I have the next chapter to this story done. Sorry to make you guys wait. I've been busy working on this story as well as 'Shinning Light In The Dimmed Future'. This chapter will be mostly a set up chapter and to introduce you to some of the other DigiDestined children. Hope that you enjoy this story and as usual, I don't own digimon.


Kari's POV...

Slowly coming to my senses I opened up my eyes to see an unpleasant sight. I was in some kind of cell that was made of solid steel with iron bars on the only exit of the cell. Looking around the entire cell I saw that I wasn't the only person in here. Along with me was my brother Tai, his wife Sora and all of the other DigiDestined. All of them except for one. "Guys, where is Davis?"

My question was answered when two creatures that were similar to the ones that attacked us were coming to our cell and they were dragging someone. Opening the cell door they tossed the person into the cell and I was surprised by who the person was. There on the was a barely conscious Davis who had a bunch of cuts and bruises on his body. "Dear lord, Davis are you okay?" I asked worriedly as I knelt beside him.

"Uuuhhh...don't talk so loud." he moaned. "Oh thank God that you're all right." I pulled him into a huge hug which caused him to wince in pain. "You look like hell Davis. What did they do to you?" asked Tai. "They took me into this room and asked me a ton of questions. Such as, asking for information about me, Kari, all of us. They even wanted to know the capabilities of our digimon. But I wasn't cooperating so they tried to beat it out of me. Of course they didn't get anything from me." "I don't care if you told them something or not. I'm just glad that you are safe."

To my happiness I gave him a passionate kiss which caused him to space out for a bit until he came back to his senses. "Well, you know me Kari, I am too stubborn for my own good." Using me as support he pushed himself up to his feet. "But seriously you guys, I think we are in trouble. I've never seen creatures like these before. I'm not even sure that they are even digimon." "What about you Izzy? Do you know what these things are?" "I'm afraid not Kari. Me, Ken and Yolei have seen practically every type of digimon known. But we don't have the slightest clue on what those things are."

"You don't get it do you fools?" hollered one of the creatures from the doorway. "We are indeed digimon. But thanks to our master we have surpassed the capabilities of any average digimon." "Master!? Who is this master of yours?" "That is nothing for you to know. Just know that he is looking forward in dealing with all of you." I didn't like the sound of that but another thought came to me. "And what about our children? What have you done with them?" "Don't you worry about them, they have been spared for the moment. However, we may have to deal with them as well." After saying that the two 'digimon' left us to our thoughts.

"What are we going to do you guys?" "Their is nothing we can do Kari." said Davis who was now leaning against one of the cell walls. "What do you mean nothing? Are you actually saying that we should just stand here and do nothing while those things could possibly go after are kids?" "Look at our situation Kari. At our current state we are out manned, out muscled and without knowing what we are up against we don't stand much of a chance against them. All we can do now is wait for an opportunity to get out of here." I knew that what he was saying was right but I couldn't help but still be worried about my children who could be put in danger at anytime.

"Don't worry Kari, I know that things would be going their for long." "What do you mean Davis?" "Lets just say that I have a feeling that their will be other people besides us that they will have to worry about." I didn't have a clue on what Davis was talking about. But I learn to trust him when things like this happen. I just hope that his feeling was correct and that we could soon be out of here.


Melissa's POV...

After an hour of calling, we were finally able to get all of the children to what was left of my parents' house. We were all now in the living room, which was the only room that remained intact. Most of the older children were either trying to help the digimon in consoling the younger kids who were crying about their missing parents when some of the others were trying to figure out how to get them back. While this was going my brother Davis and his partner Veemon were just standing beside a wall and he seemed to be in deep thought.

"What are we doing just standing here? We should be going after our parents." exclaimed Davis. "No. We should come up with a plan first before we go after them." said Jonathan. "So you want us to sit on our asses while we come with a plan? Don't you even care that our parents could be dead before we even have a chance to go after them?" "Of course I care. I'm just saying that if we just go out without any type of plan we will be putting ourselves in grave danger and that won't help neither us or them."

Soon everyone was starting to argue with one another which was causing the younger kids to cry even more. Before I could do anything, David walked away from his and walked in-between the arguing people. "Quiet you guys." he asked calmly but they continued to argue. "I said be quiet." he repeated but they continued. "SHUT UP!" That finally made them be quiet and turn their attention to David. "Now we aren't going to get anywhere if we start fighting with one another. Lets just calm down and focus on what needs to be done." "And what would that be?" "First off, lets talk about what we already know." That is when I stepped into the conversation.

"As we know all of our parents along with their digimon have been taken by some unknown creatures. Not much is known about these creatures except from what we got from David and a few others. All of you said that they are dark green skinned with razor sharp claws, two miniature horns on their foreheads, an inhuman looking face with eerie yellow eyes and are no bigger than a rookie level digimon. Did I forget anything?" "You forgot to mention that they hit like hell." muttered my brother. "Watch your mouth David. Their are young children here." "Sorry." Turning my attention back to the matter at hand I looked over to our own digimon expert. "Have you found anything yet Michael?"

With a sigh he shut his laptop computer. "I'm afraid not. I have looked through my father's and the Ichijouji's records and I haven't come up with a single match that comes close to your guys descriptions. Maybe it means that they aren't even digimon." "Oh, but they are indeed digimon." "What do you mean David?" "I don't know why but when I looked into those yellow eyes of theirs I could sense the presence of a digimon. It was faint but I am certain that I sensed a digimon deep within them. However, that is not the point." "David is right. What we need to do is to find out where our parents are being held."

That was the problem. If their parents were indeed in the digital world we could use our D3s to go to go through the portal. But without knowing where they are we would be going on a wild goose chase. "I might know of a way to find where they are." said Michael. "But I am not sure that it will work." "Well, its the only idea that we have, so go with your suggestion." Opening up his laptop he started typing away. After a minute of typing he turned the laptop towards us. All their was on the screen was some kind of map and in one particular area their was a blinking dot.

"Luckily for us I suspected that something like this might happen. Fortunately I downloaded this program from my father's computer." "Thats great Michael's but what is it supposed to do?" "It's a type of tracking system that my father was making. It allows anyone to track any DigiDestined that they want to find. Even if they are in the real world or the digital world. As long as their digivices are active they can be traced." He then pointed to the blinking light that was on the computer screen. "This is a map of the digital world and this blinking light is where our parent's signal is being traced to."

"Then what are we waiting for? Lets go and get them." "Wait a minute David. Their is just one problem. If you look closely you can see that the blinking light isn't that bright. Which means that the signal isn't that strong. That means either that whoever took our parents are trying to block the signal or something bad has happened to them." I did not like the sound of what Michael was presuming.

Thankfully what me and Michael's said got through to him as he started to calm down. "You guys are right. To be able to help I need to keep a level head about things like this. Michael, can you print out a copy of the map and the location?" "Uh...sure. But why do you need me to do it." Reaching into his pocket he pulled out his D3. "Because we are going to the digital world." "When you mean we, do you mean them as well?" I questioned as I pointed to Annie, Andrew, Sam and Alice. "Yes, I do." "But they are only little kids. They're not even eight years old. You can't be actually be serious about bring them along."

"Listen you guys. When those creatures were leaving with my parents and just before I passed out, one of the creatures told me that the next time that they show up they are going to come after us. So I think that it would be a better idea if they go with us than staying here where they are defenseless. Wouldn't you agree?" I hated to admitted it but he was right. "Damn it, I hate it when you say things like that. But you're right. However, we should at least ask what they think about this." Walking over to the younger kids who were watching our whole conversation. I decided to ask my sister first.

"Annie, me and David are going to go to the digital world to get mom and dad. But before we go we want to know if you want to come with us. Before you answer, you must know that this won't be fun and games. It will be dangerous and grueling. So what is your answer?" "I know that I will be scared but I want to help find mom and dad. I'm in." "That goes for us as well." added Sam as he answered for the rest of them. I was shocked by their determination towards this situation and it was obvious that I wasn't the only since the others had a shock look on their face.


David's POV...

Well, that answers our question about you guys." Turning away from the younger kids I looked over to the others. "Now what about you guys? Are you in or are you out?" "You don't have to ask me brother. I'm going." my sister quickly answered. "No way I am going to let my brother go somewhere dangerous without me. I'm going as well." said Terry. "That goes double for me." added Jennifer. "I think I speak for my brother and sister when I say that the Kamiya children are willing to help." said David. "That goes for the Ishida brothers as well." replied Jonathan.

"That's everyone, except for you Michael and Brad. What is your decision? If you choose not to go we wont hold it against you." "Well, I am not really the fighting type but I am willing to help." answered Brad. "I'm not the fighting type either but I have a feeling that you will need my help." said Michael. "Alright you guys, we head to the digital world tomorrow. So prepare yourself because this will be like nothing we have done before. It will be dangerous but I believe we will succeed." *At least I hope we do.*


Their you go people. If you were somewhat confused in this story, I'm sorry. Since I have the next chapter to this story already written down, it should only take me a week or two to have it up. But before I put it up, I will put up a separate story that will give some information about the DigiDestined children. That should be on ff.net hopefully by Monday.
