"Whoa..."

None of them had expected to see what they did.

It was beautiful.

A pristine sparkling paradise.

With a hissing grey and white cat in the middle of it. Said cat was hissing at a familiar form, with a familiar insane twisted grin on his angelic little face.

"Lucemon!" Lanamon hissed, baring her fangs and hissing along with the puppet cat digimon. Takuya and the other Digidestined children watched helplessly as the Legendary Warriors slipped into familiar fighting stances.

"What are you doing here Lucemon? You were supposed to be staying in the Soveriegn's Citadel! What happened?" Takuya shouted out to the insane looking rookie.

"I was playing and I guess I played to hard because I broke that stupid Baihumon's Citadel. Then a nice 'mon came and gave me this pretty shiny ball" Lucemon said, lifting a strange sparkling black ball into view. The twisted grin on the little rookie's face got a little saner for a moment as he locked eyes with Takuya, but it was broken as quickly as it came when TobuCatmon, the little hissing cat, launched himself at Lucemon's wings.

"FLYING PHOENIX!" TobuCatmon hissed as he was surrounded by flames and attached himself to Lucemon's pure white wings.

Lucemon's sky blue eyes widened in pain and a small scream came from his innocent lips as TobuCatmon dug his claws in as deep as he could.

"Leave MY village!" TobuCatmon hissed in the rookie angel's ear as he pulled his claws down and jumped off, watching the angel warily.

"Lucemon are you okay?" Zoe asked kindly, taking a step forward to try and console the rookie that was breathing deeply, trying really hard not to cry from the pain in his wings and back.

"NO" Lucemon said in a voice that was quiet and loud all at once. It sent shivers down the spines of all present and let them all know that this would not be ending well.

"Ground Cross!"(1) Lucemon shouted, standing firm with his arms spread out as if he was offering a scarifice to the gods.

The ground began to shake and everyone fought to stay standing as the ground began to upheave itself. The ground broke in four places, one beneath TobuCatmon, two where no one stood and one right under Zoe.

"Zoe!" Takuya shouted and pushed the girl away from the spot that was one of the focuses for Lucemon's attack. Before anything bad could happen to Takuya though, strong arms pushed him out of the attack's range.

"Argh!" Twin shouts of pain came from TobuCatmon and Agnimon, who had pushed Takuya out of the way.

Four crosses had exploded out of the ground, their points sharp and deadly, going straight through Agnimon and TobuCatmon forming another cross, with Lucemon in the middle.

"AGNIMON!" The Digidestined and the other Legendary Warriors shouted, their voices frantic with worry as they watched their comrade's body slowly begin to break apart, starting at his chest where the greivious wound was

"TOBUCATMON!" The Palmon, Koemon, and Tanemon who made the village their home wailed as they witnessed the death of their protector and friend.

Takuya ran forward, ignoring everyones plea's to stay back, to stay out of harms way. He could hear none of it. All he saw was Agnimon speared painfully on the cross.

Lucemon watched all of this with a sort of distant look in his eyes. He knew this was bad but he couldn't remember why. When he thought of it, it made his head feel like it was going to be split open. He shook his head and gave a sparing glance at the one dying digimon and the digiegg that was flying through the air in the direction of the Town of Beginning. Lucemon looked at the remaining digimon who were watching him carefully as they shook with anger and sadness.

"Agnimon...why?" Takuya whispered as he stood next to the dying warrior. Takuya knew the answer though. It was the same reason he had pushed Zoe out of the way. He hadn't wanted the other to get hurt. And look where it got them.

"M'sorry Ta-cough-kuya. I..." Agnimon tried to speak but it was to late, he was to far gone. Agnimon's data sparkled and turned into a stream of digital code. The code snaked around Takuya's body, glowing as it nestled reasuringly around him before it was absorbed by the boy's body.

"Shhh! Honey! Be quiet! I want to get a picture! This is just too adorable!" Mrs. Matsuki whispered harshly at her husband who had just bumbed into a table which made an avalanche of paper fall to the floor. They had both peeked into the room a minute before and that had sent Mrs. Matsuki squeeling and running for her camera.

Takato, Impmon and Guilmon resembled a pile of puppies, innocence present on all of their faces as they slept on peacefully unaware of the two adults hovering over them.

Mrs. Matsuki aimed the camera carefully and snapped a few pictures while her husband smiled at her.

"Come on Honey, we'll let them sleep a little while longer. I'm sure they've had a long night and would appreciate the extra sleep" Mr.Matsuki smiled as he whispered into his wife's ear. The two left the room, letting the occupants continue sleeping. Unfortunately, they were leaving just as a nightmare was beginning...

))))))))))))))))))))Takato's Nightmare/Memory/Dream thinger((((((((((((((((((((

It was dark. So very very dark.

No...wait...there was a mist creeping up around him. He could see the mist for some reason, even in the darkness where he could not see his own hand.

A cry tore through the air making Takato whip his head in the direction of the sound.

That was Guilmon! Takato's heart lodged itself in his throat and he ran in what he hoped was the right direction.

Another cry was let loose, closer this time and Takato sped up, running as fast as he could despite that he was blind in the darkness that was threatening to smother him.

The mist that had been creeping around his ankles was rising around him, turning into a thick fog. A familiar thick fog.

"A Digital Field?" Takato wondered aloud. He stepped cautiously now. He couldn't see anything now except the fog that surrounded him, stinging his eyes. Pulling down his goggles to protect his eyes, Takato waded through the fog to where he hoped the center was.

A low deadly growling filled the air and Takato carefully followed the sound that was unintentionaly leading him to the center of the Digital Field. He stumbled through a thick wall of fog into the center where a clearing had formed. Takato pulled up his goggles when he realised he could see with perfect clarity once more.

What he saw however was something he didn't think he would ever be able to forget.

A Diaboromon had Guilmon in its claws and was squeezing tightly. Guilmon was growling and clawing at the hands that held him, restricting his movement and breathing. And just behind the Diaboromon was the crumpled unconscious body of one Takato Matsuki.

"What the heck...?" Takato whispered to himself as he slowly reached for his D-Arc so he could help Guilmon was starting to slwo his movements as the lack of oxegyn started to get to the powerful rookie.

Takato patted the spot where his D-Arc was supposed to be and found that it wasn't there. Nor were his cards. Takato's eyes widened as he quickly patted himself down, trying to find the device that he could use to help Guilmon. He didn't find it. Nor did he find his cards. Where did they go! Takato looked around wildly before his eyes settled on a rock. With out thinking he went to pick the rock up to throw at Diaboromon, only to have his hand go through the rock.

"Wha...whats going on?" Takato asked aloud, the wheels in his head turning as he tried to figure out what was going on and how he could help Guilmon, short of running into the middle of the fight and beating his fists on Diaboromon's back.

"That's enough Diaboromon. We don't want it dead after all" A chillingly familiar voice rang through the air. Takato watched helplessly as Kage waltzed out of a shadow and picked up the prone form of the Other Takato.

Diaboromon growled at the now unconscious Guilmon but lessened his grip on the red saurian's neck and followed behind Kage.

"Stop!" Takato shouted, running towards the retreating two.

Kage paused a moment and looked back. There wasn't anything there. He shrugged to himself and continued on. Disappearing with Takato and Guilmon. Neither of them to be seen again for twenty years.

"What's going on!" Takato shouted out frustration evident in his voice. He pulled at his hair and let his shoulders slump. Why did all of this seem so familiar!

While Takato was trying to remember why the previous kidnapping seemed so familiar, the darkness was creeping back in, the Digital Fog disappating and the mist shrinking back.

Takato growled to himself as he tried to think. It reminded him so much of the time that he was with Guilmon and they had seen a Digital Field and went to investigate...and then there was a Diaboromon...Argh...his head hurt...

Takato was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a loud CRACK.

SNAP. CRACK.

What the heck was that? Takato lifted his head as he looked around in the darkness that once again surrounded him. Where had that sound come from. Its sounded like something was breaking...his train of thought was once again interupted as he felt the ground lurch and almost shudder. Glancing down Takato saw what had made the noise. The floor had huge white cracks, with smaller ones spidering out. And all of it was convieniantly underneath him.

"Oh craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!" Takato screamed as the floor gave out and he fell through the darkness.

THUD.

Ooooowwww...

Takato groaned to himself and pulled his bruised body up off of the floor that he had landed on.

At least he could see again...

"Yes..." Someone whispered to themselves.

Takato looked up from where he was crouched on the floor and saw someone he never ever wanted to see again.

Kage.

))))))))))))))))))))))Unknown Location(((((((((((((((((((((((

"Yes..."

Kage was grinning. Not a good thing. Well, not for anyone else except him of course.

Kage moved forward from where he had taken time to revel in what he had just accomplished. His army was ready. And now the Digidestined were not nearly as powerful as they once were. Twenty years of experience certainly helped one in a fight.

But now he could send them in one at a time to hammer at their defences or he could wait and bide his time, letting them all loose at once.

Naaaaaah. What sort of fun was that?

Even better, he could focus on her. Lara. He would bring her back. It didn't matter that he needed to destroy the lives of six children to do it. They were not worthy of the power that they contained.

He would recapture them. And this time they would not get away. The Digidestined would not find them and free them. And then they would be the last piece. The last piece that he needed to bring his most precsious person back. And they would be together once more.

They would change the world. Bring it to it's knees and reformat it into what it should be.

"Computer! Contact Galfmon, VenomMyotismon, LordKnightmon, Dynasmon and the Parisimon. Have them ready to have some...fun...with the Tamers. Galfmon and the Parisimon can fill the others in on what they need to know. Then get the Dark Masters, Daemon and Apocalymon to visit the Digidestined of the East. I'm sure they'll like a reunion" Kage grinned as he gave orders to his computer system. While they dealt with that Lucemon was killing off the Digidestined of the West.

"That will keep them all busy while I set up the labs..." Kage muttered to himself and turned away from the screens that he had been avidly watching.

He looked up to see red eyes staring wide eyed at him.

"How did you get in here?" Kage demanded angrily. He stalked forwards and made to grab the person that was hiding in the shadows of the room.

The red eyes got even wider and the owner of them turned and made a dash for the door. The red eyed person stepped into the light and Kage could not help but gasp. It was the Matsuki boy! What was he doing here!

Takato stared at Kage, who stared back, just realising that he could see through the boy.

"You have no clue do you?" Kage asked the boy, a smile forming on his face when it dawned on him that the boy had no idea what he was doing and how he had gotten into the room. He was completely unaware of his powers...Excellent...

Takato opened his mouth to say something and disappeared. Leaving Kage blinking with a smile forming on his face.

"This is going to be even better than I thought..."

)))))))))))))))))))))))))&!#$() &$#-&#, Somewhere Else, Real World(((((((((((((((((((((((((((

A harsh beeping awoke him.

He sat up quickly, his eyes bleary from sleep as he tried to figure out where he was and where that aweful racket was coming from.

"Blaaaaarghhhrrrmmmmma" The strange sound(word?) came from the boys mouth as he stretched and rubbed his eyes, getting the sleep out of them so he could see a little more clearly.

BEEEEP. BEEEEP. BEEEEP. BEEEEP.

Ugh...the boy got up, feet dragging as he made his way across the room to where his alarm clock was placed. He turned the horrid thing off and made his way back to his bed to sit down and look at the blurry form that still rested peacefully on his bed. Lucky brat could sleep through a hurricane. The boy sighed once more before he reached to his night stand and pulled on his glasses. The world refocused itself and he was suddenly able to see again. Aaaah, there was nothing better than clear vision. With a groan he got up, grabbed some cloths and headed straight for the hopefully empty bathroom. He wanted a shower.

Ten minutes later, a refreshed and slightly more alive looking Joe stepped from the bathroom. He stretched before he made his way into the kitchen where he had every intention of getting something to eat. Unfortunately for him, the world had other ideas.

RING RING RING RING! (Answer meeeeeeeeeeee!) RING RING RING RING! (Come ON! What are you waiting for!) RING RING RING RING! (Pick it uuuuuuuuuuuup! Cause I'm not gonna stooooop!)

"Lo?" Joe answered the phone, deciding to pick it up instead of having to listen to the horrid ringing and then the answering machine.

"Joe? We've got a slight problem. Get Gomamon and meet us at the usual place"

"What? Why?" Joe asked, as he was pulling a box of cereal and a bowl out of the cupboard.

"Just move it Joe!" CLICK. Well that wasn't very polite... Joe sighed to himself and put the bowl and cereal back before he went to try and wake Gomamon. Which was going to be about as easy as waking up a rock. A dead rock. Joe stiffled a groan and settles for just picking the sleeping rookie up and carrying him to the soccer field. Hopefully the sunlight would wake him up...

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))Unknown Location((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

He was lost. VEEEEEEERRRY lost. And that was bad. Mostly because he shouldn't be ABLE to get lost. This...where ever he was was supposed to loop and keep them trapped in one place. It would stretch on forever and then you would suddenly find yourself back where you had originally started. Not fun.

So how he managed to get himself lost is a mystery to all.

Except the big chuckling gold dragon in front of him. Some how he got the feeling that this guy was behind all of this.

"Quiet correct" The dragon replied.

What the heck! He hadn't even said anything...unless the dragon had some sort of freaky mind reading powers...

"No, I assure you I can not read minds" The dragon said as he chuckled some more, continuing to unnerve his guest.

)Then what the heck are you doing? Cause it's startin' to freak me out!( Behemoth growled, his temper flaring as easily as his riders.

"I can see your emotions, and if one knows how to read the emotions of a person then one knows how to read their thoughts" The golden dragon said, thouroughly confusing Behemoth.

The golden dragon sighed to himself. Why did he even bother...?

"You must listen very carefully to me Behemoth" The gold dragon spoke slowly, as if he were speaking to someone who did not speak the same language.

)Hm, wha?( Behemoth focused on the floating dragon. There were some REALLY funky colours here that he had never seen before...ooooohh look at it swirl...

"BEHEMOTH!" The gold dragon roared, his normally infinite patience running dry. The dragon's body was tense with anger and the spines all along his back were standing straight up as he tried to calm himself. Never had a creature infuriated him so!

)No need to yell, sheesh. I'm right here ya know( Behemoth grumbled to himself, his engine giving off a sputtering whine as he sulked to himself.

"I will get you and the Crimson Knight's steed out of this place. But this will come at a price" The dragon stated through his teeth as he suppressed the urge to snap the motorcycle from hell into his jaws and crush him like a worm...

)Che, everything always costs somethin' with you guys. 'Oh we'll give you this but WE want your SOUL', 'Oh don't worry, you'll never even notice...' Peshaw. I know how guys like you operate!( Behemoth ranted, thinking back to the Soveriegns who were so fond of doing things like that to helpless digimon. Not that it really mattered you know...but still...

"Nothing of the sort. However, there are two digimon that need to be deleted. They are currently residing in what was the Northern Quadrant. It is now, however, the Northern SECTION of the Digital World. They are warring with each other and causing unrest in the entire Section. There are no Digidestined or Tamers there to stop them. And the ones from the East, West and South will have their hands full with Kage. once you are back into the Digital World you will have no troubles returning to your mounts. Do we have a deal?" The golden dragon asked, his head tilted slightly to the left as he waited for the answer that he knew was coming.

)I dunno, I might get in trouble if I say yes without talkin' it out with Grani...Bah! Who cares? He's not my keeper! Sure, we gots ourselves a deal!( Behemoth said, revving his engine in excitement. Finally! He would be gettin' outta here!

"Very well..." The golden dragon said with a grin that looked like it belonged on Zhuqiaomon's beak instead of this holy dragon's.

Behemoth had a veeeeerry bad feeling about all of this. A sort of sinking feeling...

)AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!( Behemoth screamed as what was supposed to be ground just disappeared. Oh what he wouldn't give to have jet engines right now!

He landed suprisingly well. He landed on his wheels and bounced only once. The landing felt like he had just come down from a good jump.

Now that was weird.

There was a sky. A blue one. With clouds and other skyish like things. And this big orb that looked strangely familiar. Oh, right...the Real World. What the heck! A train track? Where did that come from?

)I suppose I have you to thank for being here...( A familiar voice stated calmly. Too calmly...that meant one thing.

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

Behemoth revved his engine and gunned it. A trail of dust was all that was left. And one very mad Grani.

)I know you did this Behemoth and somehow, I know that whatever you did, it was very, VERY STUPID!( Grani shouted, his normal calm disappating like it always did when he was left alone with Behemoth.

Grani settled down for a moment. He could catch up to the other with out a problem and it was probably wiser for him to sit a moment and calm himself.

After he had calmed himself he lifted off of the ground and set about finding Behemoth before he caused to much colateral damage...

)))))))))))))))))))))))))&!#$() &$#-&#, Somewhere Else, Real World(((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Tai and Matt watched the others from their spot beside Ken and Davis who each held a digiegg in their arms, their partners sitting on the boys' shoulders watching the digieggs intently.

Mimi was in the States and couldn't be here.

Izzy was on his way and so was Joe.

Yolie was at some sort of family reunion that she had forgotten about and wouldn't be able to get away for another four or five hours.

Cody was just making his way across the field to the stands were the four chosen were sitting.

T.K, Kari, and Sora were sitting under a tree talking quietly amounst themselves and every once in a while they would throw the odd glance at the four sitting in silence on the soccer stands.

They had said last night...um...earlier this morning that they would meet up at noon, but something disturbing had come up and Izzy had called an early meeting. Only he hadn't told anyone what the problem was. Or maybe he had and Sora, (the person he had called to call the others for him) couldn't translate whatever Izzy had said into english. Which was a distinct possibility.

Davis craddled the black digiegg in his arms carefully. It felt familair. He wondered who it was. There wasn't anyone that came to mind though. Everyone of their friends came back through Primary Village. So who was this in his arms?

Davis was shook out of his thoughts when Ken and Matt who were on either side of him, stood up. Davis looked around before he realised that eveyone who was able to be at the meeting was present.

He got up, following Matt and Tai who were making their way down the stands to the tree that the others had gathered under.

"Alright, when I'm done someone is going to have to get a hold of Yolie because I can't do it. I tried before I left. Sorry about being late though. I had to e-mail Mimi and tell her what was happening. She's on her way" Izzy explained as he sat down and opened his little pineapple laptop. Tentomon was at his side pearing of Izzy's shoulder, as his partner hadn't told him what was going on. All he had was a little that he had gotten from when Izzy had called Mimi and that had only made him worry because if it was bad enough for Mimi to book an emergency flight to Japan...

"Mimi's on her way? I didn't think it was that serious. At least it didn't sound that serious when Sora called me..." Cody spoke softly, his voice steady and curious. Upamon in his arms, watching everyone carefully.

"Alright, no one freak out. But I tried to open a portal to the Digital World..." Izzy said, trailing off as he typed on his laptop, working on something quickly.

"And?" DemiVeemon asked, he was impatient because Davis had left before he had a chance to have breakfast! It was a crime!

"And it said this" Izzy said and turned his laptop around so everyone could see the screen which had the file for the Digital World Portal Program open. And just in front of that was a little window with the words

'File Not Found'

"So, your laptop went on the fritz and doesn't want to work the portal. That doesn't seem like much of an emergency to me Izz" Tai said, crossing his arms as he looked down at the little yellow laptop.

"It's not just my laptop Tai, I've checked every computer I could get a hold of. I either get 'File Not Found' or 'System Malfunction'. And then it blue screens" Izzy explained and just as he finished his laptop died, the blue screen of death glowing happily from the screen.

"Well that's a problem! How are we supposed to get to the DigiWorld if we have to? Have you been able to get a hold of GenAI?" Sora asked, hands on her hips while Biyomon fluttered her wings nervously. She didn't like the idea of not being able to get home to the digiworld...

"I've tried, but all my messages keep getting bounced back! It's like someone's locked me out!" Izzy exclaimed in frustration. Tentomon put a claw on his partners shoulder to reasure him. There wasn't anything they could do right now. All they could do was try and hope they figured something out. Maybe that Takato kid would know something...

Tai, Matt, Ken and Davis all shared a look. They had an idea of who would try something like this.

Kage.

Now they really needed to get a hold of Takato. And Takuya. But who knew how they were going to do that. Takuya was in another Quadrant and Takato, who knew where Takato was.

"Well what CAN we do?" Davis asked, shifting slightly from foot to foot. Having DemiVeemon on his shoulder and a digiegg in his arms was not exactly comfortable.

"Nothing. Joe you can help me and so can you Yolie, but there's really nothing that any of you can do. Maybe you can track down that Takato guy. He might know whats going on. I need people who can work with computers. And I am NEVER letting you near my home computer Tai. Or any computer for that matter. I remember what you did to your fathers" Izzy said, looking at Tai the entire time, who looked like he wanted to volunteer to help Izzy.

"Alright. I guess the best way to find this guy would be to just split up and wander around different parts of the city soooo T.K and Cody, you guys can take Shabuya. Tai, you, Sora, and Kari can take Odaiba while I take this park and Shinjuku with Ken and Matt. Sound like a plan to you guys?" Davis asked, quickly dividing the parts of the city up. The larger parts had three people while the smaller piece(and better known to them) had less.

"It's okay by me! As long as we can stop and get some food! I'm starving!" DemiVeemon proclaimed from his perch atop Davis' head. There was a grin on his face as he envisioned hamburgers and fries and other wonderfully greasy food.

"Alright, I guess we meet back here at four or so? Cause I have to be home at five..." T.K said before he walked over to Sora and Tai who were now standing next to each other, partners at their sides.

"Ya, if we find anything we'll text you, okay?" Kari said with a bright smile and pulled ger brother and Sora along after her.

"Alright. Later man" Matt said as he waved to Tai who looked like he was being forced into something he really didn't want to do. It could be because he was left alone with two women but you never know...

"So where are we going? I don't really think that Takato's going to be in the park Davis. Didn't he say his parents owned a resteraunt or something like that?" Ken asked as they began to make their way to a trail that would lead them through a more forested area of the park and into Shinjuku. He shifted his arms as they were getting tired, carrying Minomon and a yellow digiegg. Matt decided to take pity on the younger boy and took the digiegg out of Ken's tired arms leaving him with a much more manageable Minomon. Gabumon eyed the egg before he followed his partner. It must be terrible to be without your partner...

The walk through the park was long and they were nearly through before Ken and Davis both said they were stopping for a break on some stairs that were just up ahead.

"You guys are pansies. When me and the others went to the Digiworld, we walked everywhere, all across Server and..." Matt trailed off when he realised the other two chosen were giving him dirty looks.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. You guys play soccer. You're supposed to be really fit" Matt pointed out before he noticed something hidden just behind the bushes. The stairs that Ken and Davis sat on were cracked from exposure and there was a small dirt trail leading off into the bushes. He was a bit curious, but not enough to explore at the moment. Maybe he would come back when he was by himself and explore. He liked to explore when it was just him and Gabumon.

"Enough resting! Fooooooooood!" DemiVeemon demanded, tugging on Davis' hair a little to emphasis his point.

"Alright, alright, just don't pull my hair out!" Davis said, getting up slowly since he didn't want to leave just yet. He was tired! He didn't know about Ken or Matt but he sure as heck didn't get enough sleep last night!

"Come on, there's a bakery up ahead of here. My Dad goes there all the time. Says they got the best bread and buns he's ever tasted" Matt said, trying to compramise. This way they would be looking for Takato and feeding the Digimon. Because gods knew he was starving himself. He barely had time for a shower to wake up before Sora had called him, demanding he show up early cause something else had gone wrong.

"Alright!" DemiVeemon cheered and Davis couldn't help but smile at his partner's antics.

"See? Just over there" Matt said, as they emerged from the bushes and into an open field that held a few trees and a playground. He was point across the field to the strip of businesses/homes that lined the street.

"So we grab a bite and just wander around?" Gabumon asked, paws behind his head as he looked up at his partner and the other two Digidestined.

"Pretty much" Matt confirmed as they continued their walk across the park and field. They waited the minute for the light to let them cross and soon found themselves in front of the bakery. It was a typical bakery, hours on the doors, special writtin in the windows. There was nothing special about it.

Except it smelled really, really good.

Like really really.

Or it just could be that they were that hungry, but Matt was pretty sure that it just smelled that good.

He pushed open the door to see a woman standing behind a counter putting some pastires, buns and rolls on a shelf.

They all walked in, none of them noticing the small digimon in the corner, watching them all intently.

"I spose yous three are lookin' for Takato?"

(1) - I have no idea how his attacks work but I'm being creative like an author should be and making it up. Alrighty? Alrighty.

So that's it for this chapter. Not a very good ending but it would have kept going and going and I didn't want to make it seem like I was pulling teeth or anything.

I know I tend to complain alot. But thats me. It probably doesn't help that I have next to no self esteem. But whatever, enough babbling on my part. I have to say though, I don't really like writing. I do it to make the ideas stop. When they stop I am a very happy Skittles. I will finish this. I have every intention of finishing every one of my stories. Some may take longer to finish than others, but they will all be done.

As for Shattered Realities, I am sooooo boned. I think I've gotten alot of the plot ideas back but not all of them. Every character in this fic will play a part. There will be OC's. My evil guy and the 'Original Digidestined' are OC's. Thankfully they are not Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus. I can't stand them. Kill them all. Burn em' good. There will be much twistingness for you all and hopefully there will be things that happen that none of you will see coming. I have some wicked ideas. Hopefully you will all enjoy them.

I really like writing Behemoth though. He's just so much fun. Grani too...anyway... Responses to reviews-

Dark Qiviut - Did I say something stupid? I can't remember, I'm sorry if I made you feel bad and apologise like that. That makes me so happy to know that someone has me on their faves list though! I'm so picky with my own...And I've seen alot of good fics. But I have to give you the 'odd look' You know the one, the one that questions your sanity? That one! Saying I have talent and what-not. I might have some but, hello, you did read Missing Link right? That was one big screw up. Really though...I haven't worked at writing at all. I've just given it more thought and actually edit it now. Though I must shudder at the thought of making a career out of writing or storytelling. I really don't like to write. I have plans to become a Carpenter(woot!). But its encouraging to hear such things. Thank you SO much. I haven't gotten a good detailed review in a loooong time.

KoTs - I MISS YOU! And I know. But I'm really lazy. And I can't remember exactly how they speak so I'm not gonna risk it. Besides...I won't have to worry about things like that really soon! Oh no! I have said to much! I must leave you now! Thanks for reviewing though! And don't forget to update your fics!

kayono - You'll see...

Hitomi No Ryu - Lol, thats okay. It took me that long to go 'Crap, now I have to make another chapter'. And no, its not your fault the car was conveiniantly parked I mean horribly miss placed there. Yes we have to have the Frontier kids. I kinda like them but I don't myself. I bet you do like the idea of a viral revolution. And what did I say about giving away parts of the plot like that! Bad Hitomi, using your powers like that! Ugh. Pokemon. Some of them are really cute though...But I guess you do. And plotholes are so good for that sort of thing! See ya! Thanks for the review!

And here's the quote. Give you guys something to chew on.

Right and wrong are not what separate us and our enemies. It's our different standpoints, our perspectives that separate us. Both sides blame one another. There's no good or bad side. Just two sides holding different views.

Please review! I like reviews! Skittles the Sugar Fairy version Purple
