Hola, amigos. It's me again with another exciting update. With summer just around the corner, I just want to celebrate by giving you Chapter 2 of "Opportunities". Before I give you this lovely chapter, replies to reviewers!

Thanks for the compliment of this story. I really appreciate it. The administration deleted my "Calling All Housepets!" story and my "Left Behind" story because they claimed that they both had too much conversation between the characters and not enough author's POV. I really liked those stories. So much for trying to get you to read and review Chapter 10 of "Calling All Housepets!" because there was a part that I put in there that was really funny. Trust me, even Psionicnemesis, Dark Qiviut, and GMGirl thought that it was good but now that story is gone forever. Anyway, thanks for telling me 'Happy Birthday'. I really like that. Though I did get a DVD of "The Incredibles" and a new pair of headphones on my birthday. See ya later!

I cannot tell you who the 22 Rookie Digimon are. It's a surprise until later on in this chapter. Though, I can give you a hint that they are all Digimon that I made up. They have each been currently captured by 10 Ultimate level Digimon called the Element Dragons. Anyway, you asked me if I could post "Calling All Housepets!" back up. To tell you the truth, I'm afraid not because if I post it back up, the administration will only delete it again and take away my account for good. But maybe not all hope is lost, maybe those who just got booted off the website would just re-register and come back with a brand new pen name.

Yes, Takuya does get reunited with the others. That's going to happen in this chapter now. Though this story does take place a couple of months after the Digidestined saved the Digital World from Lucemon. Takuya, Koji, Koichi, and Zoë are 13, JP is 14, and Tommy is 10. Another thing, Kikaimon's name is derived from kikaijikake, the Japanese word meaning 'mechanical'.

Alright. That's out of the way and here's the first chapter of "Opportunities"! The previous chapter was just the prologue. Okay, here's the chapter.

Opportunities

Chapter 1: The New Mission

Takuya ran as fast as he could downtown until he made it to the Shibuya station. He got into the elevator and watched as the elevator went down, down, down all the way past the basement. When the elevator finally made it to a room with a bunch of trains, Takuya walked out and got onto a brown train. Then, the train started to depart from the train station.

"Hey, Takuya. Good to see you again," Takuya heard a voice say, then he turned around to see that his friends had also got onto the train with him.

"How are you guys doing today?" Takuya asked with a smile on his face.

"We haven't got time for games. Ophanimon told us that this is urgent," Koji said.

"Come on, lighten up, Koji. We won't know for certain until we get to the Digital World," JP said.

After a while, the train entered the Digital World then pulled up to a train station with a bunch of trees. This was the Forest Terminal, the same place where Seraphimon, another one of the Three Great Angels, lived. When the gang got out of the train, it was actually a Digimon called a Trailmon. In fact, this Trailmon was colored brown with dog ears and a dog face with blue eyes and had a voice that sounded like Tigger from 'Winnie-The-Pooh'.

"Okay, gang. The Trailmon Express has finally made it to the Forest Terminal," The dog-faced Trailmon said.

"Thank you, but who are you?" Takuya asked.

"Call me Canine. Well, I must go now! Duty calls!" The Trailmon, known as Canine, said before he departed from the station.

"Well, now that we're here? What do we do now?" Zoë asked.

"Well, Ophanimon called us back here but she didn't say where to meet up with her," Takuya said.

The gang knew that they had no choice but to go up to Seraphimon's castle so that they could get some more information about the strange Digimon called Kikaimon. When they made it to Seraphimon's castle, the door opened up revealing a wizard-like Digimon wearing a white suit and held a wand with a snowflake on the tip in one hand.

"Sorceremon, good to see you again," Takuya said happily.

Sorceremon chuckled and said, "I'm glad to see you too. Come, the Great Angels are waiting for you." Then he gestured the gang to follow him.

The gang followed Sorceremon through the halls until they made it to the throne room. There, they saw the three Great Angels, Seraphimon, Ophanimon, and Cherubimon.

"Welcome back, Digidestined," Ophanimon said.

"We're glad that you made it on time," Seraphimon said.

"So, what's the problem this time?" Takuya asked.

"As I have told you children before, an evil Digimon named Kikaimon is chasing after 22 Rookie Digimon. They have managed to escape but 10 minions sent by Kikaimon known as the Element Dragons have captured them before they can even escape," Ophanimon said.

"Element Dragons? You mean that all 10 of them represent the elements of the Legendary Warriors?" Tommy asked.

"Yes, that's right," Cherubimon answered.

"Ophanimon, you couldn't tell us who the Rookie Digimon are before. But can you please tell us who they are now?" Takuya asked.

"They are Embermon of Flame, Manxmon and Democromon of Light, Aquamon and Hydromon of Ice, Robimon, Apteryxmon, Goosemon, and Weavermon of Wind, Socramon and BlackSocramon of Thunder, Batmon of Darkness, DemiCybermon of Steel, Marinemon of Water, Orchidmon, Heartromon, Alacoomon, Lemurmon, and Frillmon of Wood, and Burrowmon, Arimon, and Squawkmon of Earth," Ophanimon answered.

"Well, I guess that answers my question," Takuya said to himself.

"Before you children go, we have two special friends to help you out," Seraphimon said as two familiar Digimon walked out from behind him.

"Bokomon! Neemon!" The Digidestined shouted altogether happily.

"It is good to see you again," Bokomon said.

"Yay! Our friends are back!" Neemon shouted happily.

"Now that we're together again, we accept the mission, Ophanimon," Takuya said as the others nodded in agreement.

"I'm glad to hear it," Ophanimon said.

Suddenly, an explosion was heard and the mysterious cyborg Digimon was seen standing behind the door. The Digimon still couldn't be seen because he was hiding in the shadows but it was clear that he was obviously at the Ultimate level.

"So, you must be the Digidestined that held onto the Spirits of the Great Legendary Warriors," The Digimon said with hatred in his voice.

"Yeah, that's us! We still have them so that we can kick your-" Takuya said but he was interrupted by Bokomon.

"Hold up, Takuya. Neemon and I can take him on because both of us now have the ability to Digivolve," Bokomon said.

"Since when were you guys able to Digivolve?" Takuya asked.

"A month after you humans saved the Digital World, Seraphimon gave both of us the power to Digivolve now. Are you ready, Neemon?" Bokomon asked.

"I want to kick booty!" Neemon shouted energetically.

"Good grief," Bokomon said while sweatdropping before him and Neemon were covered in bands of Fractal Code.

"Bokomon! Digivolve to…"

Bokomon became a Digimon that looked like a humanoid bobcat with blue fur, fans on the tips of his ears, brown eyes, bird feet with claws, sharp claws on his hands, and a belt around his waist with torn-up pockets.

"Bobcatmon!"

"Neemon! Digivolve to…"

Neemon became a Digimon that looked like a humanoid caracal with gold fur, a blue piece of torn-up cloth around the right side of his body like a bandolier, green eyes, sharp claws on his hands and feet, and three cannons on both of his shoulders.

"Caracamon!"

-Digi-Info-

Name: Bobcatmon

Level: Champion

Type: Vaccine

Attacks: Feral Blast, Water Spout

Info: He may look vicious and evil-looking but he actually has a virtuous and good-hearted disposition but he is not a pushover when in battle.

-

Name: Caracamon

Level: Champion

Type: Vaccine

Attacks: Fatigue Torpedo, Bouncing Punch

Info: He is known to be good friends with Bobcatmon and more open-minded but like Bobcatmon, he is not a pushover when in battle.

-

The two feline-based Digivolutions of both Bokomon and Neemon gave out battle cries before running out to fight the mysterious Digimon. The Digimon countered back with his own attack but Bobcatmon and Caracamon were ready to fight.

"Feral Blast!" Bobcatmon opened his mouth and shot a bunch of yellow-orange kite diamonds at the Digimon.

"Fatigue Torpedo!" Caracamon tilted his body forward and fired a barrage of small missiles from the cannons on his shoulders at the Digimon.

The Digimon grunted in pain when he felt the two attacks hit him in the chest. Then, he aimed his guns at the castle and blasted the walls causing the whole place to collapse.

"The place is caving in! Let's get out of here!" Takuya shouted as him and the others started to make a run for it.

Bobcatmon and Caracamon both fired their attacks at the Digimon again before following their friends to get out of the collapsing castle. The gang ran as fast as they could until they have finally made it out of the castle to safety. The Digidestined was all out of breath as Bobcatmon and Caracamon reverted back into both Bokomon and Neemon again.

"At least we finally made it out of there alive, didn't we?" Takuya asked.

"Yeah, but what about the Great Angels?" Koji asked.

Then, the gang looked up and saw 3 Digi-Eggs flying off in the distance. It meant that the mysterious Digimon had killed them and took away their Fractal Code. Suddenly, the gang knew that something wasn't right. They were short one member.

"JP!" The others shouted in horror.

"You don't think the Digimon killed him too, do you?" Neemon asked.

Then, the gang heard the sound of someone yelling and a window suddenly broke and Beetlemon was thrown out while screaming. It turned out that JP had Spirit Evolved to take on the mysterious Digimon but he wasn't so lucky because the Digimon had used some kind of attack to throw him out the window and across the sky.

"Oh no! JP!" Zoë shouted in horror.

"I always knew that idiot had to do something rash once in a while," Koji said.

"It was brave but foolish of JP to just suddenly Spirit Evolve to fight that Digimon when we weren't properly prepared," Koichi said.

"What do we do now?" Tommy asked.

"Put yourselves together, guys! JP may have gotten separated from us but I've got a feeling that we'll find him eventually," Takuya said.

To Be Continued….

Looks like the gang is now short one member. I'll put up the next chapter as soon as I can. Read and review!
