The Prophecy of the Legendary Hybrids! Return of the Chosen Children!

Forest Terminal. What awaits them is a true secret. Takuya and Kouichi walked there side by side of each other, so they won't get lost in this thick fog. On the other hand, Mizu, Kouji, and Junpei had to follow Mizu, so she won't get into real danger.

"Are we going to stalk her all say?" Kouji asked Junpei.

Junpei crossed his arms in belief. "We have to, if she get into trouble..."

"Just leave her," Kouji replied, "she a growing girl, she can take care of herself."

"Well, those whole days in the Digital World five years ago, soon didn't rub off on you."

"Whatever."

"Are you guys going to follow me all the way through this crazy world?" Mizu asked politely to the boys as she did not turn her front side towards them. The boys thought she was entirely upset.

"Yes, and if anything happens to you, it will be our fault," said Junpei in a fair grin.

"Our!" Kouji was irritated. Junpei nudged his arm at Kouji to 'play along.' "Hush," Junpei said to Kouji, he picked up where he had said left. "Yes, it will be our fault..."

"Since you two are walking with me..." Mizu replied, "can you tell me what's the deal about this world?"

"Uh, what are you talking about?" Junpei blunted out a white lie. They didn't want to exposed the real truth to her, that will probably make her more upset than she is now.

"Don't give that look! I know you guys have been here before," Mizu explained, "I want the truth about this world now before I get angry. And believe me, boys, I'm not pretty when I'm angry."

"Okay," Kouji replied, "It's gonna be a long time explaining this!"

Mizu chuckled loudly. She turned around with a devious grin across her face. The boys were surprise. "I can't believe you boys felt for that!"

"That's not funny," Kouji said shamefully as he crossed his arms.

"I believe that was pretty good," Junpei smiled honestly, "I think with all that acting, she could become a great actress."

"You think so?" Mizu questioned him.

"I know so," Junpei smiled proudly.

"Yes, I am..." Mizu smiled dreamingly. She fantasized as she was actually a real actress. "My name will be up in lights!"

"Junpei, you really need to stop telling people's fortunes," Kouji replied.

"Why, because I said that your fortune is going to be a mail boy?"

"No," Kouji blushed, "why would I believe a stupid fortune like that?"

"Like I usually say, a person who don't know their past will never have a future."

"Oh yeah, that reminds me. You boys still haven't told me about the story yet," Mizu added.

"Uh, maybe later," Kouji said in confusion. "After we talked to Seraphimon at Forest Terminal." Even though, Mizu was more confuse than she was before, they walked together towards Seraphimon's castle.

"Can't see anything..." Takuya said as he put on his goggles. Kouichi was already shielded by his blue cap. As Takuya and Kouichi walked through this thick fog, the boys had bumped into people. They were people that they were familiar with...

"Izumi? Tomoki?" Takuya called.

"Kouichi?" Izumi called out, even dare not to look at Takuya, "are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine." Kouichi said as Izumi pulled him up. Tomoki pulled Takuya up. Takuya knew that Izumi is still mad over about a present he got for her which was a terrible mistake.

"Look Izumi, I did not mean to give that ugly hat-" As Takuya was saying his apologizes to Izumi, she did dare not to look nor speak to Takuya. As to further ado, she let Tomoki talk to Takuya for her.

"Oh yeah." Tomoki approached to Takuya and said, "She wants to know why didn't you pick up the phone yesterday night at 8 o' clock?"

"What do you mean, Izumi? I always play a game with Shinya on Wednesday nights!"

"Even though she called three times, you still haven't picked up the phone, why was that?"

"I don't like being disturbed during my games. Izumi, you know that", Takuya replied.

"She said, she still won't speak to you."

"The silent treatment on me, eh?" Takuya said, "Tomoki, tell birthday girl that if she doesn't want to talk to me in person, then she doesn't talk to me at all! Let's go, Kouichi!" Takuya walked off and so did Kouichi. Tomoki and Kouichi was right between their fight over about a birthday present and last night.

Tomoki said to Izumi, "What just happened?"

"It's nothing, Tomoki...Nothing at all!"

"It seems like you guys are mad over a lousy present!"

"So he says..."

"But you remember last year's presents, right?"

Izumi blushed, "He gave me a big teddy bear and a bed warmer that I always wanted."

"Exactly, Takuya can never give anything that you don't want. He a great friend, he wouldn't give a ugly hat to you even if he wanted to."

"Maybe you're right...but still, Takuya hasn't given me the real present yet. Izumi thought. 'What's taking him so long?'

Takuya and Kouichi started talking about the incident.

Kouichi asked, "Can you tell me exactly what happened between you and Izumi?"

"It's personal," Takuya replied. "If she wants to get so uptight about that one mistaken present, she won't get any presents at all!"

"Whoa, you don't have to be so harsh?" Kouichi said with ease.

"So, where were you when we started this fight?" Takuya asked Kouichi.

"I was with Mizu..." Kouichi remembered.

"On a date?" Takuya chuckled.

"NOTHING like that, just studying for a big test."

"Is there anything that you guys can't do?" Takuya questioned humorously.

Kouichi blushed, dunning by Takuya's chuckles, "What do mean?"

"It sounds like you two hang out 24/7", he said. Takuya said as he won the award. Kouichi was speechless when they were talking about Mizu. His friend from childhood. They grew up together, laugh together, and even played together. Could it be a time like this that Kouichi is falling for his best friend?

Kouichi snapped back to reality and answered Takuya's question. "Well, it seems so-"

"Gees, hang out with her more often, you two will be like two birds glue together with one eye," Takuya said.

"And cuter too-" The two looked up and saw in the thick fog, three shadow figures. One of the shadow figures was Mizu, who has interrupted their conversation over her.

"Mizu?" Kouichi was surprised. He was wondering how she got to the Digital World in the first place.

"I knew I would find you Kouichi," said Mizu, happily smiling to Kouichi.

"Kouichi?" The 2nd shadow figure had spoken.

"Kouji?" Kouichi was mystified. It was his brother, Kouji. It has been three years since they saw or seen each other. They held each other's hand in sweet redemption.

"Taky?" said the 3rd shadow figure.

"Junpei?" It whom revealed to Takuya.

"Hey!" They both was extra surprise to see each other.

Kouichi let go of Kouji's hand and fallen back to Mizu. "Mizu, how did you get here?" he asked.

"Um, it's a long, confusing story, which I can't really explain," Mizu rubbed her head in confusion. She got a grey and black d-tector out of her left jacket pocket. "Kouichi, I got something for you..."

"My d-tector, you found it? Oh Mizu, how can I ever-"

"Oh Kou, that is what friends are for!" She smiled at Kouichi, winking and putting her thumb in the air. Kouichi nodded as he blushed silently. Mizu looked at Kouji, his identical brother. "Kouichi, you didn't tell me that you had a brother."

"Half-brother to be exact," Kouichi said as he rubbed his head in relief.

"You two look alike. Are you both twins?" She interviewed him.

"Sort of, but I am one year older than him. And our family divorced at birth."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." Mizu looked at Kouji, who was talking to her worst enemy, Takuya.

"Great to see you again, Kouji," Takuya shook his hand.

"But you only saw me yesterday?" said Kouji. Takuya held him like a bro and forgotten about his logicial sentences.

"It seems to me, guys, that you're having a party without me?" A shadow figure that appears to be a girl said as she approaches the boys and Mizu in their little homecoming.

"Izumi?" said the boys.

"That's right!" Izumi smiled at them in a welcoming way.

"Don't forget me!" said the littlest child, whom is now thirteen years old.

"Tomoki-chan!"

They all talked at once. It sounded like a reunion. After all those five years, they have reunited. Takuya was happy to see all the changing faces, but their was something significant for him to do. The message he had was urgent, so he knew that this is not the right time to be reuniting with his friends. "Hey you guys, aren't we forgetting to do something important?"

"Yeah," the chosen children snapped into their serious form.

"We have to go, it's our only way!" Kouji said seriously. Everybody agreed.

They all went up to the castle, whom owner of it is Seraphimon.

"Seraphimon? Is that some kind of African portrait?" Mizu asked as the chosen children told her about one of three celestial digimon.

"No, just a digimon that lives here", Tomoki replied.

"What's a digimon?" Mizu was still confused.

"Just forget it," Takuya snapped. "Man she is annoying, whoever brought her here is incredibly stupid. They could at least tie her up in a Trailmon."

"Excuse me, the only one who is annoying and incredibly stupid around here is you," Mizu added.

The boys laughed at Takuya. Izumi chuckled by herself. Mizu looked at Izumi as she chuckled. Seemingly she had no idea who she was or where she came from. It made Mizu kinda happy because she doesn't want to be alone with all five of the boys. Suddenly, they were at Seraphimon's front porch.

"That was hilarious," Izumi still chuckled... "Oh yeah, we haven't met yet. My name is Izumi..."

Mizu smiled and shook Izumi's hand briefly. "My name is Mizuho, but please call me Mizu."

"You real name is Mizuho?" Takuya questioned as she gave him the 'cold shoulders.'

"No more introductions, are we ready?" Kouji asked them.

Takuya replied, "Yes, ol' mighty black-haired boy in a blue bandana."

Kouji knocked on the door. They await for somebody to open the door.

"Please let it be a ice cream party!" Junpei chanted.

"Let's hope that for all of us!" Takuya added. Everybody nodded.

"Nobody's home, let's turn tail right now." Mizu said as she tried to walked off. Kouji grabbed her wrist, so she won't go anywhere.

"Not yet," he said, still holding her wrist. She was silent; her face was crimson red by Kouji's sensitive touch. Someone opened the door. It was a little elf in pink belt. "Takuya, Izumi, Kouji, Kouichi, Junpei, Tomoki, and strange girl?"

"Bokomon!" The six said in unison. Not Mizu, she didn't know who that was, but she was very irritated by the way he said that she was 'strange...'

"Oh, it's great to see you, please come see Seraphimon." It seemed that Bokomon was in a rush, which meant that something's wrong or something mysterious just happened. Bokomon lead the seven children throughout the hallways and stairs.

"Um, you didn't tell us what happened?" Izumi asked Bokomon a question.

"When we reach Seraphimon's room, I will tell you everything," Bokomon said in confidence.

"Where's Neemon, Bokomon?" Tomoki asked.

"He has been annihilated."

"Annihilated? Like his data has been stolen?" Takuya asked.

"Precisely," Bokomon cried, "Neemon was a courageous, dim-witted friend I ever had. I guess I should live without him, I suppose."

"Oh don't cry, Bokomon..." Tomoki cheered him up.

"Who's crying? I'm terribly not crying." Bokomon dried his tears away.

"Hello, does anybody know what's going on, and who is that little smurf down there?" Mizu asked at the end of the line. Everybody was sad like they were in a funeral, and Mizu yapped about what the details are.

Takuya wasn't afraid to tell her anything though. "FYI, that 'smurf' is Bokomon. He is our friend and his friend is Neemon. And Neemon managed to has his data stolen. Now show some compasion."

"Listen little boy, you don't order me around." Mizu yelled at Takuya as she looked away from him, crossing her arms.

"I don't know why you even bother coming to this world."

"To get your filthy little hands off of Kouichi," Mizu replied. Kouichi blushed as their fight was beginning to get positively nasty over him.

"What exactly are you taking about?" he said as he looked at her in the back of the line.

"Your momma?" Mizu stuck out her tongue to Takuya and poke fun at him until he was completely annoyed.

"Oh, that's it!" Takuya came back there, trying to get to Mizu, but Kouji, Tomoki, and Junpei held him back.

"Enough, both of you!" Junpei yelled at them to stop. "Bokomon, I'm really sorry for this."

"That's okay. I don't know why you bring a useless, little girl along in the first place!"

Mizu looked at Bokomon and said, "Do you want me to stomp you?"

"Mizu?" Kouichi pulled Mizu back, and Junpei and Tomoki pulled Takuya back to the front of the line.

"As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, Neemon's gone, Patamon has evolve into his celestial form Seraphimon, and the 10 legendary hybrids are missing."

"Missing? What do you mean by 'missing?" Izumi asked him.

Bokomon looked down on the floor. The truth that he was telling him was very painful to tell. "Missing, like gone in the shadows missing. Poof."

"Where's Seraphimon?"

"At his thrown, awaiting for your arrival." Bokomon stopped and press the button, which led to Seraphimon's lair. The place was cover in crystal, as so as the entire castle, and the celestial digimon awaited them in his own thrown.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, behold Seraphimon!"

"Molto Bono!" Izumi said in an Itallian phrase.

"Mucha Belleza!" Mizu said in a Spanish phrase.

"Yoko Matta, whatever that is..." said Junpei in some gibberish phrase.

Seraphimon stood up out of his thrown. "Children, you have arrived!" he said in great wisdom and determination. "It has been a long time..." He looked at the children's body. He knew that they had aged from their preteen bodies... "Too long."

"So, what happened?" Junpei asked.

"Shadows came to our humble world and lead an ambush. This time it's not Cherubimon's evildoing."

"How awful?" Izumi pondered sadly. Takuya looked at her with some kind of look on his face.

"The world was so peaceful after you kids have defeated Lucemon in his evil plans. Now it has happened. The time for peace was short-lived again. Ophanimon and Cherubimon saw strange meteor showers which approached in our world, so they sought away to find out what it truly was. Suddenly, the hybrids disappeared and the only thing left were all six spirits I kept, yet the shadows took those hybrids, and the other four has been stored in hidden places. Those that are hidden are called the 'dark hybrids'."

"Do you mean the dark hybrids like Mercuremon, Ranamon, Arbormon, and Grumblemon?" Kouichi questioned.

"Precisely," he nodded.

"Do you know where these exact location that four dark hybrids went?" Kouji asked.

"I'm afraid not, it is up to you to find them before the shadows comes to get them again. Also there are four, new d-tectors I restored, and they are all now activated." Seraphimon transformed four cellphones into d-tectors. Mizu was one of the four...

"My cellphone?" Mizu questioned by misunderstanding. The chosen children looked at Mizu's cellphone which had turned into a light blue and red d-tector."It turned into the same things that you guys have."

"Unbelievable, Mizu is one of the chosen ones," Junpei pondered.

"What exactly do you mean that I'm the chosen one?" She turned to Junpei.

"And the rest of you, here are your human hybrids and beast hybrids that I kept for so long." Seraphimon gave all of the six their remaining hybrids.

"Awesome, thanks Seraphimon," Izumi smiled at the blue-armored angel.

"Anytime, children..."

Suddenly the castle was having an earthquake. It was almost going to collapsed.

"THE SHADOWS! HOW DID THEY COME SO QUICKLY!"

Bokomon snapped, "Now you must go and find the hybrids and Neemon's data!"

"We will," Takuya nodded. They all ran out of here except Izumi. Takuya stopped and looked at Izumi.

"Bokomon, are you coming?" She said.

"No, I'm staying with my baby," Bokomon replied. After Mercuremon took his data, he had carried Seraphimon's egg as he evolved into Patamon. And he never left his side ever since.

"Did you even know that Seraphimon is not a baby anymore?" Takuya said.

"I don't care as long as stay with him."

"Bokomon?" Takuya said.

"Just go!" Bokomon snapped.

"Bokomon..." Izumi whispered. Takuya got Izumi out of here.

"They are our future protectors..."

"Bokomon!" Seraphimon shielded Bokomon with his will. The two was covered in the shadows. The guys, following behind, Izumi and Takuya, got out of the castle ASAP. They saw the castle collapsing and the shadows are taking the fractal codes.

"I can't believe this is happening..." Takuya saddened. He was terribly upset. The castle was dataless. The shadows has taken over and there up in the sky were two digieggs- which seemingly looks like it belongs to:

'Bokomon... Seraphimon...' Takuya looked up in the air and saw the two eggs. He looked in a very sad way. He thought it was his own fault.

Sora: That was unexpected and awful at the same time. Think they can find the dark hybrids in time? Will they ever find a way to get Bokomon and Seraphimon back? Find out on the-
