Chapter 23
Tai and the others wanted to meet at Sora's, so after Joe and him grab something to eat, they pile into Joe's car, with the Digimon in the back. It didn't take too long and Guilmon was staring out the window. It wasn't too often that Guilmon goes for a car ride; his parents don't own a car so it was mostly train rides for him. He just enjoys looking around at stuff as they pass by it.
They soon park and get out of the car. Joe carried Gomamon and Guilmon just follows as they walk to Sora's place. Some people do look at Guilmon, mostly because they never seen such a big rookie. Then they just go back to what they were doing. They make it to the front door and Joe knocks on it.
Matt opens the door and takes a long look at him and then at Guilmon. "Come on in." Matt tells them as they walk into the house. He looks around as they walk through the house. They soon make it to where the others were and they too took a long, hard look at him and at Guilmon. Guilmon didn't seem to notice the looks for he was already eyeing the food set out. The other Digimon were already by the food and were looking at Guilmon in some kind of awe. Tai then breaks the ice by saying, "Nice goggles. So this must be Guilmon. He looks powerful." He nods and Guilmon look away from the food and says, "Hi, I'm Guilmon. Do you have any Guilmon Bread?" Most of the Digidestine and Digimon look startled at hearing Guilmon talk. Not Cody or Joe though. Cody answers, "I don't think we know what Guilmon Bread is. Sorry." Guilmon just sighs and says, "Ok."
By the end of this the others have recovered and Tai introduces the Digidestine and Digimon to Guilmon. After that he and Joe find a spot to sit down, Guilmon decides to go visit with the Digimon, who just happen to be by the food, Gomamon too.
"So, Joe tells us you can still become a Digimon?" Yolei asks. He nods and says, "It turns out because of this bracelet." He holds up the arm with the black leather bracelet with red tribal designs on it, then continues, "I've even Digivolved as well. My champion form is Drachemon. Both my rookie and champion form lets me perform magic. I've been practicing so that I could create a doorway to that pocket dimension. I've created two of them so far." He lets them think on that as he takes a sip of his drink. Sora asks, "Is Kouji and Kouichi still with you?" He answers, "Not just Kouji and Kouichi, but the rest of the Legendary Warriors. They came with Calamon and me back to Dire's reality and then to the Tendo Dojo. We had final exams about two weeks ago. Then we used Davis's Digivice to go to Tayth 832. We've been there since, though Davis with Kage and Sky, Henry with Terriermon, and J.P. did go to get information from a different reality for about a few days."
Joe then asks, "So what was that spell that occurred on Sunday?" He thinks it over then answers, "There's this group called Inu'Dor, they are this group of magic using Digimon. They guard this Anchor that all of GL's conquered realities are connected to. The Inu'Dor have been working on this spell to create this large backlash of energy that will only affect the Stalker's realities and maybe now Kurt's base reality. They used it once and I do know that the one on Sunday wasn't supposed to happen. It devastated many realities; it also warped time for some of them. Before I left to research on a shielding spell, we had this meeting. Kurt was the one that reported about the time warps for some of the realities. And just to let you know, Kurt's group has a spy in the Inu'Dor that's to help when we attack them. I think right after this one Digimon and I finish setting up these shielding crystals, we'll be attacking the place where the Anchor is. Hopefully we'll come up with a plan to safely destroy the Anchor without creating this gigantic energy storm."
He could see that Tai and the others were having trouble thinking about this. Not because it was hard to believe, it was more like it was just supper important event was happening that affected more then just a few realities. He wonders if they'll demand to come back with him. Matt says, "I think I need a break to think about this. How about you guys?" The other Digidestine just nod their heads and then they kind of got up and Tai says, "Meet back here in an hour, ok?" The murmur of oks came from the Digidestine and their partners got up to go with their respective partners.
Joe and Tai didn't leave and Tai began asking about how the other Digidestine were doing. He answered truthfully to all the questions, even the one about Kari dating anyone. He could see that Joe was thinking hard about something, but with Tai's questions beginning to find out about what happened about in the war that had happened on the Legendary Warriors Digital World. He told Tai all about Guyver and about Lucemon's Digivolution into a champion. Then about what happened when they made it to Ranma's reality. He could tell that Tai had a small grin when he talked about how the other Digimon attacked him.
They finish talking and he looks to where Guilmon was talking with Agumon and Gomamon. He could tell that Gomamon was look fazed that Guilmon's not getting some of his jokes. The red rookie was telling them about Mirthril floor. The looks on their faces were enough to make him grin.
About ten minutes after Tai and him finish talking, the others began to come back. Sora and Yolei brought back more food for the Digimon. Guilmon gives them his most enduring look as they set out the food. Sora couldn't resist patting Guilmon on the head before leaving the group of Digimon. He didn't even know that an hour had passed.
Soon everyone was sitting down and Joe finally snapped out of his thoughts. "Ok, we've now heard about what has happened on Sunday and I like to thank Takato and Guilmon for coming here today to give us an update. Now I think that one of us should leave with Takato and Guilmon tomorrow to help out. I know that this is kind of sudden, but I think if Joe's willing, he should go. They might need a doctor-in-training along to help with any wounds that might occur." Tai says and looks around the group. Many thought about it and then nod their agreements, Joe just looks stunned at being nominated to go. He was surprised about this, but could see how having Joe along would be a good thing. He could bunk with J.P. or with Ryo. Joe could always sleep on the couch of any of their apartments.
Joe finally asks, "I wouldn't mind going, they must have better equipment there too." Then he adds, "I bet Izzy could get plans for some of the equipment that you might find useful. They wouldn't mind, I think. They do understand the need for better equipment." That does it and Tai gives him an approving look. "All right! I'm going!" Joe says with excitement. He grins a bit and then he receives letters to give to the others.
Soon Joe and him are back in the car, with the Digimon in the back. They stop off to get supper and then back to Joe's place to spend the night. He had to transform into Drakemon before leaving, to put all the letters into his pouch. Things were looking up and he hopes that it's a sign that everything will workout fine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They all were waiting by where Fate says the doorway was. Today Takato and Guilmon were coming out and they wanted to be there to greet them when they do. Also Rika and Renamon came back last night around 11:23 pm.
They then look up and watch as Growlmon flies down with some body on him. She sees him and just looks stunned at the sight of him. Then Takato came down with Gomamon in his arms. "Is it safe yet?" Joe asks from Growlmon's head. "Yip." Growlmon says and lies down to let Joe off. As they watch the doctor-in-training got off the large red dragon. Gomamon says, "Easy Joe, you don't want to fall off the ground now, do yea?" Takato puts the rookie onto the ground. He transforms into a human, then looks around and says, "Guilmon and I when on a road trip?" Everyone just looks at Takato then at Joe then back at Takato. Rika then says, "If that's just a road trip, then I wouldn't mind going on vacation with you." Many nod in agreement with that. Takato scratches the back of his head and Growlmon transforms back into Guilmon.

He looks over towards the new member of the group. It would seem that Takato made a stop at the Digidestine reality to give them heads up. But the information about that world had received a small amount of Damage was oddity. It was a fluke according to Fate, Takato had agreed with Fate on that.
He watches as Joe speaks with Izzy, Davis, Henry, and Takuya about something. Then he looks over to where Rika, Fate, and Takato were talking about the shielding crystals that Takato had read about. They would last two weeks, then fade. It was better then nothing and if everything works out, then they should be finished before they fade. He hopes that they'll workout.
Soon everyone was ready to head what he had to say. He begins with the news that Kurt passed on, "It would seem that the GL is in turmoil. The building that houses the council has been destroyed and only five of them survived. Avatre says that Path had tried to reason with the whole council and his bodyguard used a spell before he was deleted to take them with him. It worked for the most part, only Tel'Sora and Red Star survived with minimum injuries. Red Star is leader of the Alta Port. It also seems that the Valpurt have dissolved as well. Order seems to have been lost and many realities have begun to ask the Gaor'Ki'Aeth and us for support. Many of the Iwarren realities have open their doors to most of these realities. Many are fleeing to these realities and the council and the leaders of this fleeing Digimon and humans have asked that Fate and Takato make over 52,456 of these crystals and for a pair of these crystals to be used to shield the whole 26,225 of the Iwarren realities. Then the remaining crystals are to be used by our realities." Takato and Fate nod at that.
He continues after about two minutes, "So while Takato and Fate are doing that, we'll be attacking the practice building. Since Joe and Gomamon are to our doctors of the group, they'll be staying out of the fighting. I'll be helping Gomamon protect our doctor. So, it's plan 3 that we'll be starting off with." The others groan on hear this. He could see that they had hoped to spend time visiting with Joe and getting to know him better. Serji and Gate leads the group of humans and Digimon to where the building is.

He sighs as he lowers himself into the hot water. He could see Joe do the same from where he was sitting. They had gone through eight plans before their lunch and after lunch Takato with Guilmon and Fate joined in. Takato had Digivolved and it looked like Joe might have fainted if Joe wasn't busy talking to Fate about her healing spells. Guyver and Fate had added new traps and even a few illusions of traps as well. There hadn't been any new alarms though.
He looks to see Takato with Guilmon and J.P. sit into the pools. He remembers how Takato's two attacks. He hopes never to be on Takato's bad side.
'+'
He was two miles away from Takato as Drachemon. As he takes a breather, Takato yells out, "Black Nova!" A huge black fireball flies way from Takato's hands. As he watches the ball of black fire, it then stops about thirty feet away from Takato and then it, well, does what a super Nova does. The 'damage' to the surrounding area was easy to see. Even Takato seem stunned at just how his attack behaved.
'+'
Then he remembers the last plan of action of the day. It was when Takato used Gate of Hell Dragons. He remembers how even Guyver and Fate had looked in awe and a hint of fear after Takato used that attack.
'+'
The number of traps surrounding the 'goal' were thick and everyone was getting tired, especially Takato and Fate. Takato then moves a little in front of Gate and Serji. They give him room as Takato opens his wings to their full length. Then he refolds them and yells out, "Gate of Hell Dragons!"
As they watch the ground surrounding Takato glow with blackish purple lines, they suddenly move up. A gate was formed in front of Takato. The lines that once were on the ground had flipped ninety-degree angle. Then they heard the gate open. Five dragonheads with long snake-like necks of dark red coloring appear. Then they open their mouths and black and red fire came out of the five heads. Even with Fate's spell active, the attack destroys the 'goal' and the wall behind it. The five heads and gate disappear. Takato knees down panting. They all just look as some of the fire attacks are still burning.
'+'
"Tired, huh?" He asks Takato. "Exhausted. First Fate and I made the crystals, then we practice, and finally I used Gate of Hell Dragons. That attack was exhausting. If I hadn't held back and felt so tired, it damages that that attack could have would have destroyed the back of the building, and maybe a few feet after that. I'm only going to be using that attack as a last resort." Takato tell them. J.P. nods and says, "Kind of like Black Fire Storm, huh?" Takato nods his head in agreement.
