Shattered Realities

by Skittles the Sugar Fairy

The Chosen of the Quadrants are back where they belong and none of the Digidestined or Tamers remember anything that happened. But Kage isn't done with them and the Digidestined and Tamers will need all the help they can get when their worlds are no longe

Chapter 5 - And you would be?

The thing that rose out of the pond water was not a digimon that any of the Tamers or Digidestined recognized. To the Tamers it looked like it was spawned from the D-Reaper, with a large pale green body that sprouted red globs that looked like twisted wings. It had three razor sharp claws for hands and had a long neck with a tiny head. It had no legs, but floated above the water, staring at them all intently.

Takato's D-Arc was the first to recognize it, followed a minute later by Rika's. They scanned over the information on the screen before reading out some of the basics that would help their partners.

"It's Metamormon! This mega level vaccine digimon uses its Laser Translation and Transceirave attacks to blow its enemies out of the water" Takato quickly read aloud.

"Sounds like some fun Renamon! Lets finish this guy off quick and get back home!" Rika said with a smirk as she drew a random card from her deck.

"Wait! Leave him be! He hasn't done anything!" Kari shouted at Rika, as she reached over to stop Rika from what ever she was about to do.

"Shut up! You don't know anything about Taming!" Rika snarled and used her shoulder to check Kari in the side so she wouldn't stop her from slashing her card. Gatomon growled at Rika and flexed her claws before rushing to Kari's side to make sure she was okay.

Metamormon floated there for a few minutes before it started to slowly advance on the tense Renamon and Impmon. The Digidestined's partners moved to stand in front of their human partners to protect them from the strange digimon.

"Kari! This is their job. Let them do it their way. We'll step in if we have to. Alright?" Tai said, as he pulled his sister up carefully while he made sure she was alright. Rika was ignoring the whole lot of them as she concentrated on the card. The digimon card burst into light as it transformed into a Blue card.

"Digimodify! Matrix Digivolution Activate!" Rika said in a comanding tone as she slashed the card through the slot on her D-Arc. A glow came from the D-Arc before it was transfered to Renamon.

Renamon was engulfed in light as she digivolved to her Champion form. The Digidestined watched as Renamon's fur seemed to peel off of her, leaving just a frame work before the data that had been swirling around came to settle on her and change her to.......

"Renamon digivolved to.......Kyuubimon!"

The light didn't fade as Kyuubimon jumped into the air, her form twisting to a more human looking digimon. A giant paint brush was pulled from the depths of the new digimon's sleeves, which was handled with the skill of an expert staff's man.

"Kyuubimon digiivolved to........Taomon!" Taomon announced. This would not been an easy fight, but she knew that she could beat the mutant digimon that had sped faster towards the children when she had started to digivolve.

"Wow.....hey, isn't that Metamormon a Mega?" T.K asked Takato who was watching everything closely while Impmon relaxed at Takato's side, Patamon watched worriedly form where he flew.

"Yah, but this guys a vaccine and Taomon's a data. She'll beat him. Besides, he isn't a big enough threat to biomerge." Takato said and kept his eyes on the fight that was about come into full swing.

Taomon was not one to wait for the enemy to strike first, so she brought her mighty paint brush down upon it's head. Metamormon slammed into the ground and rose up quickly to hit back.

"But she'll kill Metamormon! She's going to delete him! He may be made of data, but he is still alive!" Cody protested as he and the other Digidestined stayed behind Takato, Rika and their partners.

"I know. But this is our world. I don't know how you Digidestined got here, but you're not in your Quadrant anymore. The rules are different here. I'm sorry...." Takato whispered softly. He didn't like to delete digimon, he hated it. But it had to be done. All of one in thirty digimon would over come their instincts and stop fighting. It was so rare that they would stop and listen....and even then it didn't always work.

"Well maybe you should change the rules! These digimon aren't evil! That digimon isn't evil!" T.K ranted at Takato. T.K was mad. The digimon wasn't evil, why should it be deleted? It hadn't done anything wrong!

"Things are the way they are for a reason, Human." Impmon sneered. The blonde Digidestined was starting to piss him off, which wasn't a good thing.

"And what would you know, Virus?!" T.K shouted at Impmon.

"T.K!" Kari gasped, shocked at the way one of her closest friends was behaving.

"T.K!" Davis shouted, shocked into saying the other boys name properly. What was with the guy?

"Stop it!" Takato growled, turning on T.K.

"I don't care what issues you have with virus', but I need to pay attention to this fight! If Rika, for some strange reason, can't beat Metamormon, We'll have to stop him. Because if we don't, he'll destroy everything in his path! Do you get it?! Digimon aren't the same here!" Takato snapped, lossing his temper rather quickly.

Silence came from the Digidestined, and other than Rika's orders and cards and Taomon's battle cries, all was quiet.

Impmon glanced at his Tamer. He didn't usually snap so quickly. Usually it took a while to get him angry, and if you actually got him angry, it wasn't something you wanted to see. What was wrong with Takato?

Takato closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

What was wrong with him? Why did he snap like that?

"Aggggggggh!"

"Taomon!"

Takato's eyes snapped open as soon as he heard the pained cry fall from Taomon's lips.

The sight that met his eyes was not the one he had last seen. Nor was it one he had expected to see.

The last time he had seen Taomon, she had been evenly matched with Metamormon, taking as many hits as she dished out. It had even seemed that she was winning, for her hits were ones that counted, landing in places that caused the most damage, while Metamormon's attacks had all been glancing blows.

But now she was pinned beneath one of Metamormon's deadly claws, her brush laying just out of reach.

And to make matters worse Metamormon's other clawed hand was charging up his attck, Laser Translation.

"Damn it!" Takato cursed and reached for his D-Arc, he knew there wouldn't be enough time for Impmon to digivolve and help Taomon. If only he had been paying attention instead of fighting with the Digidestined!

"Laser Translatio" Metamormon began, but never finished his attack as a sphere of energy crashed into him, causing him to lose his balance and release Taomon from where she was pinned. The sudden attack hadn't injured Metamormon, but it had distracted him long enough for Taomon to get away.

Taomon rolled away and picked up her giant brush, ready to fight to the end and finish Metamormon off. She would figure out what had distracted Metamormon later. She would finish this now.

She reached into her robes and pulled out the glowing kanji that she would use to hopefully pin down Metamormon's power.

"Talisman Spell!" Taomon shouted, activating the power in the kanji as she threw them. The kanji bounced off of Metamormon's metal body, leaving deep scratches behind. Taomon mentally frowned, that hadn't worked the way she wanted it to.

Metamormon rushed at Taomon, claws and attack at the ready.

"Transceirave" Metamormon said and let the attack fly towards Taomon. Taomon easily dodged, being faster on far more agile that the large Mega digimon that she was battling.

"Taomon, finish this thing off! Digimodify! Data Boost Activate!" Rika said shakily as she slashed the card that would hopefully help Taomon to finish off Metamormon in one devastating blow. That last one had been to close for her liking. Taomon had been in tight spots before, and it never failed to shake her to the core how often her best friend was put in danger for the sake of the rest of the world.

Taomon spun her brush elegantly as she began to paint the symbol that would destroy Metamormon onto the air in front of her. She let the power of the boosting card flow through her, her brush and into the floating kanji. It had grown immense in size and was at least double the size of one of her usual attacks. The data boost card had been just what she needed.

"Talisman of LIGHT!" Taomon shouted as she finished the last stroke and sent the kanji flying. It pasted itself to Metamormon. Nothing happened for several seconds and everyone including Taomon herself held their breath.

Did it work?

The lettering pulsed once and then suddenly exploded in a vast wave of light.

Hands flew to cover eyes, to block out the incredibily bright light.

Takato and Impmon blinked away spots and looked up to see Metamormon standing. (Well floating really....)

Barely.

It was amazing that he was even holding himself together actually.

Metamormon roared and crashed into the ground, roaring defiance again. It's data fizzled and strechted, and for a moment it looked as if Metamormon would break apart into solitary bits of data.

To bad looks could be decieving.

Metamormon floated back up to where it had originaly been. Taomon slowly lifted her enormous paint brush. It felt like lead in her hands, she had put all she had into the attack. Why hadn't it worked?

There was no reason Taomon with the aid of a few cards couldn't beat back a (normal) mega vaccine digimon fresh from the Digital World.

So why was it still standing?

Taomon and her Tamer never got to find out as another sudden attack finished off the more than half-dead Metamormon in one blow.

There was a loud gasp from all of the Digidestined, even the chosen amoung them. They had killed an innocent digimon! The chosen had been told by the Tamers that they did this sort of thing all the time, but it was sort of hard to believe.......believe that children had become murderers.....

"Damn it! Who the hell keeps doing that?!" Rika shouted furiously. Who ever it was had not only saved Taomon, but had finished Metamormon to!

"Me silly! Who else would it be?" a familiar voice said, a small giggle following their declaration.

"Guilmon?" Matt asked not sure if it really was the small rookie virus he was hearing as they still couldn't see who had saved Taomon.

"Of course!" Guilmon said, stepping completely out of the brush so that he could be seen by digimon, Tamer and Digidestined alike.

"Oi, what took you so long PineApple head?" Impmon asked with a smirk. He and Takato had known for a while that the large red rookie was hiding in the bush. Guilmon had been waiting there to see if he would be needed. And he obviously had been. Much to Rika's annoyance.

"I had to finish my Guilmon bread! Besides, Renamon is strong! She didn't need my help at all!" Guilmon said with a toothy smile that made more than one of the Digidestined nervous.

In no time at all Guilmon was standing next to both of his partners while the Digidestined minus the chosen took a few steps away from the small gathering of virus'.

"You know, if you keep interupting my battles like that one of these days I'm gonna forget that we're on the same side. Understand Goggle-head?" Rika said, a chill in her voice as she placed her cards back in their pouch while Taomon dedigivolved into Renamon.

"But I didn't do anything!" Tai and Davis cried out in protest at the same time.

Rika blinked when she realised there was a crowd of............Tamers? And their partners? They were rather odd looking.....she could swear she had seen them somewhere before to.....

Growling and taking a step towards the twenty odd people standing huddled together, Rika gave them all a once over. None of them looked particularly strong, but she knew that looks could be decieving. Just one look at Takato and Impmon could prove that. Guilmon was opposite, instead of underestimating him people often thought he was evil because he was a virus and from the warning symbols all over his body.

"And you would be? Why didn't you weaklings take care of him? There was more than enough of you. And I saw the way you looked at me when I said I'd be finishing Metamormon off. What kinda Tamers are you?" Rika snapped at them, making them all back away as they were unused to her ice queen tendencies.

"Leave the brats alone, oh Digimon Queen. They're not from around here if ya can't tell" Impmon said snidely. He didn't want her shouting all through the park. Girl had a loud voice, and his head ache from whatever that wave had been still hadn't gone away.

"Digimon Queen?" Cody asked, an eye brow raised as he tried to figure out what the small demon digimon was talking about. He hoped it wasn't something like when Ken had been the Digimon Emperor.....though with the casual way she spoke of killing digimon.......

"Oh...ehehee....yah...that...." Takato said nervously. He had watched the show when it aired the first time and he knew that the second generation Digidestined where probably not to hot with Rika's old nickname.

Davis and Ken got the feeling that Takato didn't really want to talk about the name, but it was so close to Digimon Emperor that they both knew that the rest of the Digidestined, old and new would be wanting some answers.

"Rika and I will take our leave....." Renamon said before she faded from sight causing Izzy to mutter about all the research he was going to have to do now so he could update his laptop.

"Hmf. Make sure you keep these amatuers out of trouble Goggle-Head, the last thing we need is a swarm of reporters after another digimon story. They're still not over the D-Reaper and the Locomon thing" Rika said sternly, making sure to glare at all of them-Takato in particular-before leaving for her home.

"Isn't she nice?" Tai asked sarcastically when he was sure Rika was out of range. He remembered what she had been like as an adult and Takato had told him with a chuckle that she was much more relaxed than the last time he had seen her.

"Delightful" Ken muttered and carefully adjusted his arms. They were getting tired from carrying the digiegg for so long. Tai had taken to resting the digiegg he had been given on his hip. His arms felt like they were gonna fall off.

"Here, lemmie take that" Impmon said and gently plucked the digiegg out of Ken's arms, relieving the boy of his burden. Takato took the yellow digiegg from Tai who readily gave it up to the young Tamer.

"Hey, how come you guys are all stiff?" Guilmon asked curiously, a claw on scaled lips as he gave each of them one of his innocent, naive stares.

"I think Rika scared them.......Sorry about that. She's actually much nicer than she used to be. She's kinda cold...especially around Ryo, the 'Digimon King'" Takato said with a chuckle when he saw the shocked looks on all of their faces.

She was NICER?!

"Digimon King? Digimon Queen? What happened?" Joe asked, slightly afriad of the answer. What could this team of kids have gone through with two people like that?

"Is...is that why she killed that digimon with out a thought?" Kari asked quietly, almost unheard.

"Oh....no.....In our world digimon are much fiercer and most of them fight only to become stronger. They get stronger by loading the data of their fallen opponents. Our Digiworld is brutal compared to yours. As Tamers we help our partners by slashing cards to make them stronger or faster. She's one of the top digimon cards players in all of Japan. Ryo is the other one. They ended up getting dubbed the Digimon King and Queen, much to Rika's horror. Ryo is the only one to ever beat her at the card game. She's still mad about it.........and she can't stand Ryo, I dunno why...he's a nice guy" Takato explained as he shrugged his shoulders as best he could with a large digiegg in his arms.

The Digidestined and their partners huddled together as a cold gust blew past them.

"That's horrible! How can you deal with.....murder....so casually?!" T.K bit out, holding his small orange partner close. He was obviously horrified with what had happened not even a minute ago.

"Because, its kill our be killed in this world. So suck it up" Impmon all but snarled at the blonde. He didn't want to be reminded of how easily he had lost himself to the darkness inside of himself, lost to the insanity that still lurked at the very back of his mind. It was survival of the fittest in the Digital World, and until they experienced it for themselves they would never understand.

"I got a question. If this is your world, then where are we going to stay?" Tentomon asked as he buzzed around his partners head. Said partner was typing furiously, and would look up every now and then to look and study the two viral digimon standing beside Takato.

"I was thinking about that....." Takato began, only to be interupted by Impmon.

"Don't hurt yourself" Impmon said, dodging a kick aimed his way. Impmon laughed and stuck his tounge out as his human partner. Takato rolled his eyes and ignored the mischieveous imp digimon.

"Well, I noticed that Shinjuku park isn't the same anymore.......there was this wave of energy or something which knocked me and Impmon out and when we woke up the park had changed...its got a soccer field now and there's this HUGE tree in the middle of the field now. Its weird. And I don't even wanna know where some of the new skyscrapers came from. The WHOLE city was changed when that whatever hit it. And as insane as this is going to sound, I think that our worlds have.......merged....." Takato finished.

The Digidestined and their partners were silent as they thought about what Takato said. It wasn't likely....but that would certainly explain how come they came back from the Digital World to land in Shinjuku Park......sort of anyway....It didn't explain how they ended up in Shinjuku instead of Odaiba, but it did make more sense than crossing not only worlds, but Quadrants.

"I'm so confused...." Davis said and pinched the bridge of his nose. This was WAY to complicated.

"You're not the only one" Matt muttered dryly as Gabumon nodded beside him. The Digidestined were looking a little lost.

"I guess we could take you down to Odaiba.....but some of you would have to digivolve to carry your partners there. WarGrowlmon is only so big...." Takato said, holding the digiegg tight in his arms while he shifted nervously from foot to foot.

He could tell just by looking that the Digidestined were nervous and more than a little uncomfortable after what had happened with the Metamormon. He couldn't blame them, he didn't like it anymore than they did but he understood that it needed to be done.

"Wouldn't it just be easier to take the subway or train?" Biyomon asked the two strange digimon and their odd partner.

"Yah! Its late! There shouldn't be anyone on so you don't have to worry about us being seen!" Veemon said, tugging on Davis' shirt silently telling his partner that he was getting tired.

"Nope, the train and subway are still out" Takato said and looked around the park suddenly noticing how dark it had gotten. He was going to be in DEEEEEEP trouble when he got home. Takato supressed a wince at the yelling he knew was in store for him when he finally got home.

"Still out? Sheesh, what happened?" Yolie asked curiously. What was with this place? She had seen some of the sky scrapers from when they landed and some of them had been nothing more than standing rubble. And now there was no train or subway service? Did they get an earthquake or something?

"Oh....ehehehehehee...that...yah...uh....see there was this Locomon who bio-emerged and was tearing up the railways. Me and the rest of the Tamers tried to stop him but he evolved into GrandLocomon. We eventually found out he was being controlled by a digimon called Parasimon who was trying to open a gate between our world and the Digiworld. We eventually stopped him but the rails and alot of buildings were destroyed by the Parasimon" Takato sheepishly explained.

"Wow, you Tamers sure have a lot to deal with" Hawkmon said, standing a little ways away from Yolie who was getting over her deletion-shock and going back into what he had dubbed as 'cute-guy mode'. It wasn't a pretty thing to see. Hopefully he would be able to get her away long enough for her to come to her senses.

"Ehehe....." Takato chuckled lightly and rubbed and rocked the digiegg in his arms gently.

"Okay, okay! We REALLY need to get back on track people! It is LATE. There is no doubt that OUR PARENTS are seriously freaking out right now. We all told them we were going out for a couple hours to the Digiworld. Now I think we may have been gone for more than JUST A FEW HOURS!" Tai said sarcastically. He was SO grounded. Kari would probably get of scott free because she was younger and he was 'responsible'. Stupid being older....stupid responsibity....

"Alright then...uh....who wants to play packhorse? Its a fairly long way so flying is a good thing" Takato said, glancing quickly at the digimon and trying to figure how it would all work out.

"I can take Ken, but thats it. My Champion form isn't all that big" Wormmon said quietly, just loud enough to be heard by those closest to him

"I think WarGrowlmon could take Tai, Agumon, Matt, Gabumon, Impmon and me....what do you think Guilmon?" Takato asked his red partner who had taken to trying to see the digiegg in Impmon's arms.

"Yup! I could take Ken and Wormmon to!" Guilmon chirped happily and went back to trying to get Impmon to let him hold the digiegg.

"Just how big is this WarGrowlmon?" Cody asked. How big was this digimon? To be able to carry eight people without a problem? He had been thinking of asking why Veemon and Wormmon didn't just D.N.A Digivolve to Paildramon and then digivolve to Imperialdramon. They wouldn't have any worries then.

"He's....big....." Takato said, remembering the first time he had seen Growlmon digivolve into WarGrowlmon. The digimon was huge! Takato wasn't even as big as one of the Ulimate's claws!

"I could carry Izzy, Gomamon and Joe" Tentomon piped up. It would be a bit hard to fly with that extra weight but as long as it wasn't TO far he was sure he would be okay. It's not like they were going off to battle or something so he didn't need to worry about how much energy he was wasting.

"Okay then, I can take Kari, Gatomon and T.K!" Patamon said happily, flapping his litte wings as he thought of his armor form.

"I suppose if I must, I could carry Cody, Yolie and Armadillomon" Hawkmon said with a frown. Hopefully Cody's smaller weight would make up for Armadillmon's heavier one.

"I guess that leaves me with Davis and Veemon" Biyomon said, already thinking of how much FUN she was going to have carrying those two and her partner across the city on her back.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Davis demanded with a huff which made Kari giggle at the way he was acting. Really, the boy could be so silly sometimes!

"Okay, okay. So we have a way to get home. Now we have to figure out how to save our skins from our parents when we get home" Tai said with a wince, thinking of the 'talking to' he knew he was going to get. Most of the Digidestined winced.

"I'm gonna be grounded for life" Yolie cried and hugged Hawkmon tightly when she thought of the horrifying things she would have to suffer through, being stuck at home with her siblings.

"Lets just get home and worry about how dead we are when get home. The longer we talk, the longer we're gone and the more trouble we'll all be in" Cody said wisely and everyone silently agreed.

"Well I guess you guys should digivolve huh?" Sora said looking at her pink feathered partner.

"Yah, wanna give us some room?" Tentomon asked and tapped his claws impatiently when he noticed that his DEAR partner hadn't moved and was deeply engrossed in his laptop. Tentomon swore to himself that one of these days he was going to break the damned thing.

"Izzy!" Yolie shouted in the spikey haired boy's ear as she pulled on said ear in an attempt to get his attention. Thankfully it worked.

"Ack! Yolie! What was that for?" Izzy said as he glared at her while he rubbed his sore ear.

"For not paying attention!" Yolie shouted back and walked off in a huff to stand next to Cody and Armadillomon.

Izzy looked around and finally noticed that everyone was looking at him as they waited for him to move. He blushed and closed his laptop after he saved his precious data and moved to stand next to Tai who was shaking his head and trying to hold back a smile.

"Okay then, Hawkmon! We'll go first! Digi-Armor Energize! Yolie shouted as she held up her D-3 to activate the Armor Digivolution. A beam of light hit Hawkmon and he felt the power of the Digi-Egg of Love give him its power so he could digivolve.

"Hawkmon Armor Digivolved to............Halsemon!" Halsemon said proudly as he did a small flip in the air, showing off a little before he landed next to his partner.

"This is SO cool" Takato murmured as he watched Halsemon whisper to his partner about something. It was one thing to see it on T.V, another to see the Digidestined and their partners digivolve for a fight, but it was another to see them digivolve for something simple. To see the partners talk and laugh, like normal children.

Impmon shook his head, his partner was digimon obsessed.

"You know what to do!" Sora and Izzy said together as they held their digivices up to give their partners a boost in digivolving. They didn't really need it anymore but it made digivolving easier.

"Tentomon digivolved to..................Kabuterimon!" Kabuterimon announced and posed for a second, trying to out do Halsemon. They weren't fighting, and even though there was obviously something happening, it felt good to let loose and have a little fun.

"Biyomon digivolved to..................Birdramon!" Birdramon announced with a mighty cry and stretched her firey wings as wide as she could, showing off her impressive wing span.

"You guys are so weird" Sora said with a chuckle as she stroked Birdramon's crown lovingly. The fire feathers were always to warm and soft, she loved the feel of them. And it made Sora feel special knowing that only someone who Birdramon trusted could touch the fire bird with out being burned.

"No, we're gifted!" Kabuterimon said with a toothy grin. Izzy shook his head and leaned against his partner while he waited for T.K and Patamon. He also couldn't wait to see Takato's partner, what was it again? Ah yes, Guilmon, digivolve.

"Guess it's our turn Patamon! Digi-Armor Energize!" T.K shouted with a huge grin. No matter how many times he saw his partner digivolve, it always seemed like the first time. It was magical.

"Patamon Armor Digivolved to............Pegasusmon!" Pegusumon stated proudly and shook his mane a little which made him look like a wild horse.

T.K shook his head at his partners antics, the winged digimon was rather odd sometimes. Especially when he was trying to show off for Gatomon.

"Well, that just leaves you guys....."Izzy said, turning his full attention to the three who stood a ways away from the Digidestined.

"Guess so....You ready Guilmon?" Takato asked as he and Impmon went over to stand next to the Digidestined, giving Guilmon what they hoped was enough room.

"Ready, ready!" Guilmon said and trotted a little ways back, he didn't want to burn his friends with his jets when he landed.

"Do you really need THAT much room?" Joe asked skeptically. They were giving the large red rookie alot of room, he couldn't POSSIBLY get that big, could he?

"Wanna bet?" Impmon asked, green eyes shining with mischief.

"Alright Guilmon! We'll do this the quick way! Digimodify! Matrix Digivolution Activate!" Takato shouted once he had given the digiegg back to Tai to hold and drawn a random digimon card from his deck and changed into a blue card and slashed it along the right side of his D-Arc.

"Guilmon digivolved to.....................Growlmon!" Growlmon shouted, jumping in the air as data swirled around him and light exploded around him as a rush of power engulfed him.

"Growlmon Matrix Digivolved to...........................WarGrowlmon!" WarGrowlmon roared mightily, the cyborb digimon landing with a loud thump that made the ground shake at the weight.

"Holy....." Tai murmured to himself. He had seen WarGrowlmon before when they were fighting Kage's army, but it was different when you were standing right next to the Ultimate digimon and finding out you were smaller than one of the massive digimon's claws.

"Are you sure he's only an Ulimate?" Gomamon asked skeptically as he looked up and up and up and up and up......to see golden eyes looking down at all of them.

"Let's get going!" WarGrowlmon said, his voice now deep and grating, and lowered a clawed hand to help Tai, Matt and their partners onto his massive shoulders.

"Alright, alright! Don't get your tail in a knot!" Kabuterimon grumbled and helped his partner, Joe and Gomamon onto his back. He was glad that they were careful of his fragile wings. They were strong, and could easily fly all of them, but that didn't stop them from being fragile.

Soon everyone was in the air and flying through the night. They were all quiet as they flew in the direction of Odaiba. It was a comfortable silence and Takato was glad for it. He held back a yawn that had been threatening to break free for a long time now. It was definately WAAAAAY past his bed time.

"Hey, were are you gonna drop us off?" Tai called down to Takato who was being held with Impmon in one of WarGrowlmon's clawed hands.

"WarGrowlmon, can you land over there?" Takato shouted up to his partner, trying to be heard through the wind while he pointed down to a deserted and fenced off area. It looked like there had been a building there at one point, but if there was it was gone now, waiting to be replaced by whatever was going to be built.

WarGrowlmon didn't reply but he nodded and motioned at the other digimon flying around him to follow. They all landed and dedigivolved except WarGrowlmon who now had to fly Takato and Impmon back home.

"Well I should get going.....I know I'm already in deep trouble. So uh....see you guys around?" Takato said, suddenly at a loss for words. Impmon and WarGrowlmon were silent as the Digidestined fidgeted uncomfortably. WarGrowlmon lifted Takato to his large shoulder and used his jets to start to lift up off of the ground to head skywards.

"Hey, how do we get a hold of you?!" Davis shouted up to the trio who were almost out of ear reach. Veemon squinted as he looked up, what was Takato saying? He couldn't hear him.

"What did he say? I didn't hear him" Sora asked Gatomon who had the best hearing of the group.

"I couldn't hear him over those jets. My ears are still ringing!" Gatomon hissed as she rubbed her white ears. Damn but those were loud!

"Well it shouldn't be to hard find him with partners like Guilmon and Impmon, right?"Agumon pointed out to his friends.

"Whatever, we can worry about finding Takato later. If we're still alive after out parents get a hold of us" Tai said with a shiver, thinking of all the horrible punishments that could be handed out. His mother was VERY creative. One just had to look at her cooking to know that. Tai shivered again at the thought of some of the things he was forced to eat...-endure-...

"Right, here, tomorrow, noon?" T.K asked everyone and waited for answers. The rest of the Digidestined and their partners slwoly nodded when they concluded that they would more than likely be able to meet up with the others. After some much begging and pleading their parents of course.

"Okay then! Hopefully I'll be alive to see you guys tomorrow!" Tai said cheerfuly as the group split up, each heading in the direction of their home.

"Oh Tai, it won't be that bad!" Kari reasured her older brother. Gatomon and Agumon walked slowly behind the two human children, supressing their yawns. They were both exhausted from going to the Digiworld and back to the Real World again. Not mention the stress from talking to Azulongmon and running in with that weird digimon Metamormon.

"Riiiight" Tai muttered back sarcastically.

The four of them tiredly made their way up the stairs of the apartment since the elavator was convieniantly out of service.

Opening the door quietly they managed to get to the living room before Tai collapsed on the recliner with Agumon sprawled across his lap. Kari made it to the couch were she and Gatomon curled up, all four asleep before their parents, who had been waiting worriedly in the kitchen could ask where they had been.

Kage smirked even though his attempt failed. It wasn't as if Metamormon had been special in any way. He had only been given a small boost from his charm.

He remembered the day he had gotten his charm, it had been in the middle of a fight with a digimon. He couldn't remember what digimon it was anymore, but he could remember how it shot out of his Digivice and floated in front of him until he had grasped it in his hand. The charm was in the shape of the old symbol of Order and it was attached to a long thin gold chain.

He remembered using it, the joy and pleasure of his power awakened and coursing through his viens, making his blood sing with glory as his partners strength grew tenfold.

Yes, it was a good memory.

One of the few untainted and untwisted ones that he had left.

But it mattered not. Order was his and he would use it to bring about a new age, one were he and Lara ruled, finally together.

Kage smiled and began to laugh.

He laughed at the pathetic attempts of the Tamers and the Digidestined, because no matter what they did.......he would win. He would win because he had to, because it was the only way he could ever be with Lara again.

And Lara would finally be with him.

Forever.

- Metamormon, is a virus normally, but I changed it for the sake of the fic. K?

- I have no clue about any of the digimon cards, so I just make em' up, alright? So like don't kill me.

- Kage's charm is much like the tags and crests, digieggs or digimon cards. Its what helps him pull his power out.

RayD - Ah, so you did notice. Well I have it going sorta like this: Guilmon understands that Takato and Impmon don't know each other that well, not like Takato and himself. So he's giving them a little space so they can bond better. Ne?
