To Cloaked Fox: Thank you for the constructive critisim... but I would greatly appreaciate you being patient!
Sheesh... It was CHAPTER FREAKING ONE! I needed to make it a cliff hanger, and I intentionally didn't tell how they got to the digital world.
If you'll wait a few chapters, "All will become clear to you", to quote Ophanimon.
Disclaimer: Me own Digivice, me no own Digimon.

Through the Eyes of Friendship
Chapter 2
It was late into the night, and the children took sleep on the benches scattered among the hall out side Takuya's hospital room.
Everyone slept peacefully, except Koji.
And now, he stood staring at his best friend's still form across the room, the true meaning of the doctor's words began to sink in.
Blind? Takuya? No! That just couldn't be true, it wasn't fair. Not for Takuya. Seeing, discovering was his life. For him to lose his sight would be...well....
Koji shook his head. He couldn't think about it. He had to stay positive, for Takuya's sake at least.
Although the kids were instructed to stay out of the room, Koji felt no regards as to disobeying the nurse's commands.
As he neared the end of the infirmary cot, he stood, checked his watch (2:30am.) and whispered, so as not to wake his charge, "Man, Takuya, why'd you have to be such a moron? Huh? Going off on your own like that... falling off a cliff like that." What was Koji thinking? He knew better than to think takuya would do something like that on purpose... but he thought it'd make both of them feel better if let Takuya think he hadn't changed.
Koji moved round to the side of Takuya's bed and gently sat down in the chair next to it, his bandaged face bringing the knot back to her stomach with a vengeance.
He swallowed hard. " He felt guitly. He thought it was all his fault. If he had only been there for him, he could have done something.
"I could have done something!" Koji said to himself.
"Mmmm...." Takuya mumbled softly.
"Shhhhh." Koji Murmered.
He mumbled again in reply and quietened once more into sleep.
He simply sat there, watching his steady relaxed breathing, trying hard not to think about what lay beneath the bandages.
Kouchi's voice made him jump, "He still sleepin'?"
Koji nodded, placed his hands in his pockets,and stepped back out of the room. "I'm gonna go get some sodas bro. Do you want one?" He asked his brother, who was walking around the hospital bed much the same way as koji.
"Okay."
Koji turned to go.
As he watched Koji leave the room, he couldn't help but to say to himself; "Poor Koji, this is eating him up inside."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It all started with a message Tommy got on his e-mail. From Bokomon. The Celestial Digimon had found a way to open up the gate to the digital world so that we could come back.
Though it had been many many decades in the digital world, only 5 years had passed by in the real world.
Some new creature-- program-- something-- had threatened the still ongoing reconstruction of the digital world. The gaurdians have fought to try to distroy this new force, but to no avail. Bokomon had been charged with the task of finding a way to contact the Digidestined, and bring them back to help fight this evil force...
With enough strength from the Celestial Digimon, still not megas... they managed a gate from the real world to the digital world.
Accessable only by the D-tectors, they used what little strength they could spare to make sure the kids could come to aid, and return, should things get out of hand.
"Bokomon! Buddy!" Takuya cheered.
"Oh! Children! I honestly never thought I'd see you again!"
"Me either!" came the famillairly squeaky voice.
"Nemon!" Tommy cheered! "Good to see you!"
"Bokomon, what happened? You look... older!" Zoe bluntly stated, suprise seasoning her words.
Bokomon indeed looked older, more mature, not elderly, but definitly ageing.
"Beans! I was hoping you wouldn't notice. It's been many decades since you've been here-- funny, too, you don't look that different, either..."
"Wait, what do you mean 'decades'? " Koji asked.
"We haven't been gone that long. Have we?" Wondered J.P.
"5 years." Koichi answered.
"Time here goes by differently." Nemon replied.
"Indeed!" Bokomon Agreed.
"Then how come Nemon doesn't look near as old as you do?" Tommy asked.
"Hmph!" Was all that Bokomon answered.
A burst of laughter filled the small crowd.
(o)o(o)o(o)
"So, buddy, where's the spirits?" Takuya asked, as Bokomon led them to the Rose Morning Castle's front gate.
Bokomon frowned and continued walking without a reply. Takuya looked back to everyone else, and they all shrugged it off.
As they took the enterance through the titanic crystal doors, an angelic voice greeted them.
"Welcome back, young children." Angewomon spoke.
"You have grown so much." Angemon also greeted.
"Not as much as you Patamon." Koichi chuckled.
"Please meet Angemon and Angewomon." Bokomon said.
"...And chrerubimon?" Koji begun to ask.
"Antalamon." Bokomon Finished, bowing as a rabbit like digimon came from behind the angels.
"They're not completly digivolved." Bokomon continued.
"Yes. We're still far from being as we used to." Angewomon said.
"Well, at least the digital would has you and the spirits here... and that's all that matters, right?" Koichi said, trying to lighten the heavy mood.
All the Digimon Present in the room frowned, once again, giving Takuya the impression
that something was wrong.
"All the spirits are here, right?" he asked questioningly.
"We're... not sure." Angemon confessed.
"After the presence of this new entity appeared, we've lost contact of the solitary spirits, Human and Beast."
"What?! What the heck does that mean!?" Takuya tried to stay relitivly calm, but he couldn't refrain the slight hint of fear and consern in his voice.
"Basicly, we have the essence of your fusion spirits, but no human or beast to obtain them." Bokomon explained.
"That is the very purpose why we brang you here." Angewomon continued. "Because, when you left here, a peice of each of the ledgendary warriors went with you. They are a part of you--"
"-- forever and for always." Antalamon finished.
"That still doesn't explain what we have to do." Koji stated.
"Yeah. What can we do to help?" Zoe asked.
"The essence of all of your fusions forms has been spread throughout this world, helping to protect the areas of weakness."
"Like the Fire Termainal, where you first found your spirit, Takuya." Bokomon chimed.
"Yes. The Fusions, or Ancients, are now protecting these areas, sheilding them so there will not be another incident like before."
"With Lucemon." Koji complied.
"Exactly." Antalamon agreed.
"That is why you must quest for these areas. I'm sure your hearts will guide you." Angewomon expressed.
"You need to find and tame the ancients. And only you can. Convice them you mean no evil, and when the time is right, you can fuse with them." Angemon instruced.
"They can help you find the ledgendary warriors." Antalamon finished, again.
"Please, be careful children." Said Bokomon.
"Why-- I mean, aren't you comeing with us?" J.P. asked?
"Bokomon has other duties, now." Angemon told them.
"But, please, take my book, you'll never know when you might need it." Bokomon offered them his treasured book, and Takuya accepted it with a bow.
"We won't let you down! We won't let any of you down!" He said cheerfully.
And with that, a glow of light surrounded all of them and when it receeded, all 6 kids held in their hands, a famillar object, a digivice.

Okay, happy? A new chapter. (winks at Dai-Muse) --Thanks Buddy.--
This one is supposed to be like a flashback of sorts... we'll get back to Tacky's dilliema next chapter. And BTW: The reason Koji is so light tempered (I.E Calling Takuya "Tacky") is because he's lighened up. (Uh... Duh?) After being with friends, he's found out what friendship is like, and he's not as lonely anymore. So read between the lines here folks... this is a FANFIC... meaning it's my version of how I want Digimon to go. I don't have to amke all the charaters exactly as they were in the series... besides, it's been 5 years... they've... changed.
Okie Dokie... Well, that's it... I'm done. Stick around for the next chapter!
