Chapter 2
He watches as Jager's reactions to the fight. He stands close by, just watching as the scene plays out. He had sent DemiDevimon a glare for good measure; he is amused to see the virus Digimon flinch at this. He turns to watching WereGarurumon finish the fight in the way that he remembers. Soon an in-training Digimon stand where Matt's partner used to be, then Matt moves and picks up his partner.
He then watches as DemiDevimon flies away. Jager and him then move from their post. Tai sighs as they come into view. "We could have used your help." Jager scratches the back of his head and says, "I thought packing a bit of food would be considered helping." Matt then says, "That's a good idea." Joe then says, "But that food doesn't belong to us!" Matt then puts in, "We worked more then enough to pay for that food." Tai's stomach then choices this time to growl.
They all turn to look at the goggle head kid. "I guess I can't argue with that!" They all laugh a bit and they walk away from the Dinner. He notices that TK and Matt were holding hands as they went. Tokomon had Digivolved when that Digimon captured TK. Patamon is resting on his partner's head.
He smiles sadly at the scene before him. He couldn't do that with Jager, he was too big. He feels a hand rest on his head and finds that the hand's Jager. He just sighs softly and Jager then ruffles his fur before retracting his hand. They soon find a spot to rest at, when Tai, Joe, Matt, and TK's Digivices start beeping.
"I got a reading to the left." Tai states. "To the right for me." Matt says. The other two just nod in agreement. "TK and me will go right. Joe and you left?" Matt asks. "You're forgetting about Jager." Joe says. They all turn to look at his partner. "I could go with TK and Matt, unless they object…" Jager says. TK then grabs Jager's hand and pulls him over with Matt. "He's coming with Matt and me. Ok Matt?" TK asks his older brother. He watches as Matt studies Jager and then him. He could read uncertainty in Matt's eyes. Then Matt nods his head slowly after a good three minutes. "Fine." Was all that Matt would say.
He grins a bit at this. He knows that it means a lot to Jager to spend more time with his 'older' brother and 'younger' brother. He also wouldn't mind spending time with his younger self too. He always wonder just what it was like to have a brother, now was his chance to find out.
They split up and he wishes Tai and Joe luck with Mimi. They're after Izzy and that's an easy one. He walks with TK, letting Matt and Jager have time to talk.
(----------------------------------------Jager----------------------------------------)
He watches as his other self falls asleep. He's nervous now; he wonders just what's on Matt's mind. He notices that Tsunomon was also watching Revmon. He decides to let Matt start this.
After a good fifteen minutes, Matt finally says, "What do you want." He looks in to Matt's eyes and then his eyes drift towards TK. "You know that you can't always protect him." He says sadly. He looks at Matt and could see that Matt didn't like this. "I'm not asking about my relationship with my brother. I'm asking what is it that you want." Matt says in a chilly tone. "A riddle then. I'm old and yet young. I lived the future, but haven't. I'm living two lives, but still on my first." He tells Matt. He grins as Matt's jaw drops open a bit. "That's not an answer!" He shrugs, and answers, "That's all I'm willing to say for now. I'm not the enemy, Matt. And you don't have to worry about TK though. I'll protect him with my life." Matt studies his face and then just sighs. "Whatever." Matt says as he looks away.
He sighs and takes out his laptop computer. He checks to make sure that if need be, that he can open a gate to the real world. Then he plays a game of poker before turning the computer off. He spent years learning be as good as Izzy or Ken or Yolei on the computer. He needs to be as the years passed. He then rechecks the discs to see if they're intact. They were important in the way that is has the stats for what's to come. About the Digimon that killed him and his friends…
He sighs and puts his stuff back into the pack. He hasn't changed his cloths yet, but that could wait when he's in the real world. He then places the bag by Revmon to guard. He then asks, "You want to do guard duty first or should I?" Matt just says, "I'll go first. What you in five hours." He nods at this and he lies down. He closes his eyes and hopes that his nightmares don't catch him tonight.

They found Izzy and Motimon. He laughs at the joke that Izzy made about improving so much that he flunked right out. Then TK introduces him to Izzy and Motimon. "This is Jager and his partner Revmon. Jager this is Izzy and his partner Motimon." TK says. Izzy glances at him and then focuses in on Revmon. "I've never met a Digimon like you before." Izzy says and then takes out his computer.
But before Izzy could start it up, the image of Gennai appears. He could see that Gennai looks stunned by seeing him, but before the others could tell, Gennai greets them. Then before Izzy could get any answers to any of his questions, Gennai disappears. He was kind of stunned by seeing an old man. But then, he got too use to seeing the younger version of Gennai. He feels old at the moment. He wonders about Kari and the second group of Digidestine. He wonders if he should try to do his best to make sure that it happens or to try and stop the vampire lord once and for all.
He knows that Revmon could easily defeat Myotismon in his champion form. He decides to speak with this version of Gennai about it. He will be telling the other about it later, like after he tells them who his really is and why he's here. That doesn't stop him from smirking at the thought of facing the vampire lord one bit. He wasn't a scared little boy any more. He can and will protect his friends and family.
They then head off to meet up with the others. He wonders if Mimi will try and talk him into getting contacts… With that thought in his mind, he walks a bit behind the group, wondering about the quirks he remembers his friends having.

He watches, as Sora looks so beaten up over what that rat of a Digimon told her. He finds that Jager, too, looks angry at the way Sora's acting. He knows that as much as they want, they can't delete that virus. Point blank, they also couldn't take out Myotismon yet either.
He snaps out of it when Patamon asks, "You look ready to kill." He blinks as he remembers where he was and then sighs. He then answers, "I just don't like the way this rookie is upsetting the group." Patamon then agrees with that. "I really could find my self to hate this character." His other self says. He can't help but smirk at that. But then, DemiDevimon never got a chance to drive a steak through this TK's and Patamon's relationship. He feels much better about being here for that one simple fact.
He watches as Jager's other self cheers up Sora. He watches as the others finally catch up. He watches as everyone laughs a bit about the habits of some of the members of the group.

It's nighttime and he's up. He couldn't sleep, for he knows that the virus will be showing his face soon. He hears the quiet flapping of wings and knows that it's about to begin.
Soon he hears Biyomon cry out in pain and he turns to see Sora pull out the dart out of her partner. He watches as Patamon then attacks the departing virus rookie. He checks to see if the others have awoken. He watches as every soon circles around Sora and Biyomon.
He looks over at his partner and he could tell that Jager looks tired. He could relate, it just doesn't seem fair not to fight their fights, but know that they couldn't. He then whispers to his partner, "We should tell them at Gennai's." Jager nods thoughtfully at this. "Sounds good. That way Gennai could help explain some of it." Jager says.
They turn to where Myotismon is approaching. They watch as Agumon and Gabumon Digivolve into their champion forms. They then watch as more of the other partners also Digivolve into their champion forms. Only Biyomon and Patamon haven't Digivolve into their higher level.
They watch in silences as Myotismon attacks the others. He flinches at some of the cries of pain, but just crouches down and gets ready to spring if the ultimate even moves in their direction. But Myotismon was too busy tormenting the others then to glances their way.
He looks and finds TK and Patamon move closer to Jager. He smiles a bit at this. He then turns to watch as Biyomon gets out of Sora's hands. Biyomon then Digivolves into Birdramon. He could see the tears falling down Sora's eyes and then Sora's crest begins to glow as Birdramon is sent flying from one of Myotismon's attacks.
Sora then cries out and soon Birdramon Digivolves into Garudamon. He relaxes and gets up off the ground. He smiles in relief as Garudamon sends the vampire Digimon flying. They then climb up on Garudamon's hands and they fly off. He notices that TK's busy holding hands with Jager. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Matt try not to look at them.
(---------------------------------------Jager-----------------------------------------)
He watches as the gate to the real world closes. He has mixed feelings about it, but doesn't let them show. They all turn and leave the castle. They sneak out as quickly as they can.
He doesn't pay much attention to what's happening around him as the image of Gennai appears. He snaps out of his thoughts and follows the others to the lake. He smiles a bit as they all stand there, wondering if they need a boat to get to the light source.
He watches as the water then parts and reveals a staircase. They then walk down the stairs. Jokes are made as they descend towards the bottom of the lake. Soon they see the house ahead of them.
They walk pass the gates and find Gennai standing on the bridge in his yard. "Greetings Digidestine. I'm happy that you made it in one piece." Gennai says. Some comments are made and they soon walk into the house.
As they sit around a table with food on it, he feels Gennai's gaze upon him. He sighs and his hand moves towards his crest. Soon the others notice this staring contest. "What's wrong?" Tai asks.
He turns to look at everyone and then lastly he looks at his partner. He turns to Gennai and says, "Why do you think I'm here?" Gennai answers, "I have a feeling it's bad." He nods his head and then looks at everyone present. "My real name isn't Jager. I'm from the future, over two hundred years truth be told." He says. The seven humans around the table all begin to talk at the same time.
