Chapter 11

He turns to see a large green Digimon fly towards Arkadimon and Chaos. Then see Ken walking his way. He waits for Ken to get closer before greeting him. "Hey, the others alright?" Ken nods and explains, "They're heading in to bring up the Legendary Warriors. So, who's that? And just where are the keys?" He sighs and answers, "That's Arkadimon. Right now, his not as powerful as I remember. And as long as I'm not willing to hand over the keys, they're safe." Ken looks at him and then just asks, "So, you remember him?" "Kind of hard not to. MagnaAngemon and I fought him for what feels like a thousand years in the void between dimensions. He played with my memories most recent memories." He says and then just doesn't continue.

Ken then turns to see what caught his attention. "O no." Ken says. "O yes." He answers. They look on as some heavily armed police show up and take aim at where the three Digimon were. "Shouldn't we warn them?" He asks Ken. "I don't think they'll listen to a couple of kids." Ken answers. He just sighs and nods. The police fire at the Digimon and when the smoke cleared, Arkadimon and the others just blink and turn to where the other people were. Ken's partner and Chaos were too stunned to do anything when Arkadimon shakes them off and begins to head towards the police.

"Chaos!" He shouts out and that's enough to snap Chaos out of his thoughts. Chaos then moves to stop Arkadimon from getting close to the police. For their part, the police were retreating away from that part of the street. Ken was checking to see if his partner is coming to. It seems that Chaos was thrown into the green champion and now Ken's partner was out of it. Leaving Chaos alone once again to fight against Arkadimon.

(--------------------------------------------------------------)

They all fall to the floor when the elevator stops. He remembers the first time he was in the basement. It had just been he and Kouji in the same elevator. He sighs as he sees a train there, just waiting. He walks out of the elevator first.

He hears the others also get off the elevator. He doesn't turn around, just keeps looking at the train. Then he stops and takes out his dad's cell phone. He looks at it and then it glows and transforms into a D-tector, his black and red Digivice. Then he holds it up to the train and a door opens. Out comes Agunimon. "Hey! Long time no see!" Agunimon says. He grins and nods, feeling speechless as he looks at Agunimon. Agunimon walks forward, then Kumamon appears and waves to someone pass me. "Hey Tommy!" Kumamon says. And like Agunimon, walks out of the way to let others come out.

Next comes Beetlemon and without saying a work he walk out of the way to let Kazemon appear. "Hi, I'm Kazemon." Then moves to where the others were. Lobomon then appears and then just nods his greeting. Then finally Loewemon is the last one to appear and says, "Hi." Then moves forward. Then the door closes and the train leaves the station.

He then just turns to look at the others of the group. Tai then speaks up. "Hi, I'm Tai Kamiya and this is my partner Koromon. My little sister, Kari Kamiya and her partner Gatomon." He motions to where Kari is standing with Gatomon standing by Kari's feet. Then Davis took it from there. "I'm Davis Motomiya and my partner DemiVeemon. Then the girl with glasses is Yolei Inoue and her partner is Poromon. The blond is Matt Ishida and his partner is Tsunomon. Ken Ichijiouji and his partner is Wormon, their up helping Takuya's cousin and partner with that Digimon." Davis finish saying.

"Great to meet you. I bet you're friends need help about now. Shall we go?" Lobomon says. Tai then says, "But first, Koromon and them need to go rookie. Ready Koromon?" "Yip!" Koromon says. Then before their eyes, the partner's of the other world Digimon Digivolved. Koromon transforms into Agumon, Tsunomon transforms into Gabumon, Poromon transforms into Hawkmon, and DemiVeemon transforms into Veemon. "Ready Tai!" Agumon says. They then nod and then head to the elevators. They then look at the size of the elevator and then at the size of their group. "We got a problem." Tommy states. "You can say that again." Yolei says dryly.

(--------------------------------------------------------------)

He sighs in relief as the street is cleared of the police. He watches as Stingmon rejoins the fight. Ken and him had moved out of the way. As he watches, Stingmon uses Spiking Strike on Arkadimon. While Arkadimon dodges Stingmon's attack, Chaos then hits him and sends him flying into one of the already destroyed cars. Then Stingmon uses Spiking Strike when Arkadimon lands. It hits Arkadimon, and then Arkadimon grabs a hold of Stingmon's arms and flings Stingmon into the closest building.

He yells out, "Watch it, Chaos! I know you're getting tired, but then so is he! You beat him before and you can do it again!" Chaos grunts and then charges to check on Stingmon. He looks over at Ken and asks, "Thanks for the help." Ken sighs and answers, "I just wish they'd hurry up. Both of our partners are getting tired and Arkadimon might be more damaged then the two, but he's still rearing to go. Just how much can this guy take?" He sighs and says, "He's not a mega or an ultimate. He's going to retreat soon. So lets just hope that they get here before Arkadimon decides that it's time to rethink his plans. He did a lot of that, even as a mega." "Great, something new to think about." Ken says grumpily. He just has to grin at that. Ken just sends a glare his way, and then blinks and he just grins along with him.

They then return to watching Chaos and Stingmon tag team Arkadimon into the building across the street. Arkadimon the uses his Snatch Whip on Chaos. Chaos holds his ground and then decides that a change in tactics was in order. So, Chaos charges in and uses his body to ram Arkidamon into the next car. Then Stingmon kicks Arkadimon in the head, sending Arkadimon towards Chaos. Then Chaos bits down hard on Arkidamon's neck. The Snatch Whip lets Chaos go and then Arkadimon just teleports out.

Chaos jaws closes and they just stand there, looking around. All of them just let out a heart felt sigh. Then Chaos and Stingmon walk towards them. He walks up to Chaos as well. Then Chaos and him stop then Chaos dedigivolved back into ChaosPupmon. He then knees down and begins to pet Chaos's back. "Great job, Chaos. You did great." He tells his partner softly. "Good, then if you don't mind. I'm going to sleep for the next few hours. Night, Shade." Chaos says as he drifts of into dreamland. He sighs and then moves to pick up Chaos.

He puts Chaos on his shoulder and then turns to ask Ken something when something catches his eye. He watches as Davis charges out of the train station with a larger blue Digimon. Then out comes J.P. with a bug type Digimon, Takuya with a blond Digimon, and finally Tommy with a white bear Digimon.

"Hold on! Davis the Great has arrived!" Davis shouts and he just rolls his eyes. "Has he always this conceded?" He asks Ken as Ken walks to his right side. Ken just says, "He used to be worst then this." He just snorts at that. "How did I ever work with him?" He wonders out loud. Ken and Wormon don't answer that. They wait for the others to realize that the battle's over.

His cousin then turns towards them and waves. "Hey Shade! What happen? Did you just delete that guy?" Takuya asks as he and the red armored Digimon walk towards him. He sighs and answers, "Arkadimon retreated. Chaos's is exhausted from first the chase and then from the fighting. What took you guys so long?" Takuya and the Digimon that he guesses is Agunimon looked surprised at hearing that. "He got away!" Agunimon says. He just nods his head and says, "Could you keep it down? Chaos is trying to sleep. So, you're Agunimon? Nice to meet you, I'm Shade. Takuya's cousin." Agunimon just grins and nods. "I do have Takuya's memories. Do you want me to carry him?" Agunimon asks his. He nods and Agunimon moves to his side and takes Chaos off his shoulder. He feels much better, for Chaos was quite heavy.

Takuya was already talking with Ken and Wormon. He just sighs and thinks about everything that happened. It seems that the other went back inside to tell the others about them being late. Looks at his watch and then just sighs. "And I wanted to visit my parents today…" He says. "Can't?" Agunimon asks. "That's where I meet up with Arkadimon." He says simply.

(--------------------------------------------------------------)

It turns outs, with all the chaos that people saw during the battles between Chaos and Arkadimon, the enemy Digimon's name, that they forgot all about the young teens that were around during the battle. Even the teachers from Takuya and the other's school forgot that they left early. So, they were now at Shade's house and Shade had gone to the hospital with Matt and Tai.

The Digimon stayed here and as she watches, Tommy and Kouichi were trying to get Kouji to hold Dayus; this causes Kouji to keep moving around. Davis was looking a touched nervous with Dayus out of the tank. She just sighs and looks over to where Chaos was sleeping soundly with Gatomon curled up by him. She wishes that she had brought her camera, and then she could take a few pictures. As it is, Yolei was going through Shade's family pictures with Agunimon and Takuya.

She is listening to Shade's MP3 player. She was stunned at his collection of songs, but she got used to them. Even began to enjoy them, for some were from woman artists. She liked Bring Me Too Life by this band called EvanceScence. She was currently listening to Numb by Linkin Park. She has never heard of some of these bands before now. But then, she wonders what Tai's reaction would be if he finds out just what kind of songs were on Shade's MP3.

Kouichi and Tommy finally tire of chasing Kouji around with Dayus and then choice to return Dayus to his tank. She sighs as Davis calms down and goes to take a look at the DVDs that Shade and his parents own. She looks to see Kouji begin to talk to Ken and Lobomon without fear of Tommy or his twin coming up with Dayus.

She just relaxes in the chair and closes her eyes. Someone pushes pause on the MP3 player and she opens her eyes to find Davis showing her a DVD. The title on the DVD was Neon Genesis Evangelion. She then picks it up and reads the back.

"Crazy, huh? I wouldn't have thought that T.K. would be interested in stuff like that." Davis tells her. She sighs, and says, "Davis, right now, call him Shade. It's what he's comfortable with. He's not the guy we once knew. He might never be the same guy that we had so many adventures with." Davis picks up the DVD and puts it back. Then comes over and sits on the arm of the chair. "Just cause he doesn't remember everything now, doesn't mean that I shouldn't stop calling him T.K. Maybe he just needs to hear his real name often enough and he'll remember." Davis says stubbornly. She feels a headache coming, for Davis refuses to call Matt's brother Shade. But luckily, Davis and Shade haven't been in the same room alone together.

She just hopes that Davis doesn't try to push Shade, for who knows what Shade or Chaos will do. Chaos was already on guard around Davis, Shade just ignores Davis. Much to everyone's relief. She wonders just how he'll take to meeting up with the older Digidestine. For it seems that Shade just doesn't remember the second group. She hopes that Tai and Matt find out just what he remembers. It would be a start to help Shade get more of his memories back. She pushes play on the MP3 player.
