Chapter 3
He waits for it to quit it down before continuing. "I'm not here because of Myotismon, it's because in six years, some Digimon will attack you guys and kill you all. Only one will survive the attack." He pauses as the gasps come from everyone in the room. He reframed from mentioning the second group. They quit it down when Joe shouts, "Let him continue!" He nods his thanks to Joe and continues. "After the Digidestine were killed, the one that lead the attack then began to close off the Digital World from humans. This was to keep new group of Digidestine from being chosen. They hadn't expected for one of the humans to be revived, though. You see, I'm the only human to ever be reformatted by the Digital World. My younger self in also right in this room." He pauses and lets everyone look around him.
It was Matt that finally got it. "You're … You can't be!" Matt yells. He smiles sadly and answers, "Sorry Matt, but yes I am. My real name is TK." The others just look at his other self and then at him. Patamon then glances over at Revmon. His younger version looks stunned at this. He closes his eyes and the waits for a few minutes. Then opens and looks around at the others. "You might as well call me Jager, though. It'll cut down on the confusion." He says.
Mimi then asks, "Then how come you're eyes are mismatched?" He then says, "Human's aren't suppose to be resurrected in the way Digimon are. I'm lucky to be human and healthy. My appearance has changed for I was reformatted. As you can tell, my partner's not a Patamon anymore either. The change in me also affected my partner as well. I'm not the same teen as I was before the Digimon kill the whole group. I was heart broken about not just surviving, but at not being able to stop it. I was bitter for a good twenty years before I began to snap out of it." He looks around the group. "I've never grown pass looking like a fourteen year old. I don't understand it, but it's how it's been. I'm here to keep that history from repeating itself." He says.
The others just blink at this. Then Joe asks, "Then you know who's the other kid is?" He grins, answering, "She was my best friend growing up. It's Tai's little sister, Kari. Her partner is Gatomon." He could see his other self just blinks at the part about a girl being his best friend. He could see that Tai's jaw is open.
"So, do you and Kari ever date?" Mimi asks. He laughs nervously as Tai glares his way, and says, "Never got the chance." He could see that Izzy doesn't look too convinced . "So, how could we believe you?" Izzy asks.
He gets up and gets his pack. He then looks for the right disk and then hands it to Izzy. It's mostly about certain events that happened. Most of the data has been damaged but he knows that Izzy would find what's on it to be created by him. He says as he hands the disk over, "It's all that Gennai had been able to recover from you're laptop computer after the attack. We couldn't get to your home computer to copy the files." Izzy blinks at this and soon gets up and heads to his computer.
It's then that Tai says, "If you're Hope, then why do you have that other crest?" Gennai answers that, "It's an old plan that I came up with. The crest of Life Cycles is a symbol of a dire future. The plan is to send the holder back in time, to help change the events that lead to that future. It's never been used or spoken of. This is the first time this has ever happened." He nods in agreement.
He watches as they all think about this. The food is forgotten as they all lose themselves in their thoughts. It's TK that's the first to snap out of his thoughts and begin to eat again. Soon everyone stomach begin to growl and this reminds the other Digidestine of the food on the table. Soon everyone returns to stuffing their faces.

Later that night, he watches as Matt walks towards him. He could see that Matt is uneasy. He watches as Matt then sits down. "So, you're my little bro." Matt says. He sighs and says softly, "It's weird, but I am." Matt then asks after a few minutes, "Was I a good brother to you?" He looks surprised at Matt at this comment. He studies Matt's face and then answers, "You sometimes were a bit over protective of me, but yea you were. You mellowed out when you got older." Matt blinks at this. "Meaning?" He grins and says, "You mellowed out and became real good friends with Tai. As in you didn't get so defensive over everything that Tai said or did." Matt blinks at this. "Are you sure I do?" Matt asks. He nods and says, "At least that's what happened during my timeline." Matt sighs and says, "Then Tai matures?" He snorts and says, "Given time, everyone matures. Tai does make better choices over time. Though, he'll be real protective over Kari though. He kind of has a right to be." Matt thinks this over and then says, "Mind if I consider you my older brother?" He smiles at this and says, "I'd like that, Matt. I really would."
Matt then yawns and gets up. He says, "Night." Matt nods at this and says, "See ya in the morning." He watches as Matt heads off to bed. He then lies down by Revmon. He slowly drifts off to sleep.

They now stood in front of the large iron door. They finish passing the guard Digimon and Jager has only given them half of the info that they need to open the door. This time it'll be him attacking the spider Digimon that will be showing up.
He watches as Tai and the others try to figure out which of the two cards is the real one. If he remembers correctly, it's the Agumon card that's the fake. But he understands that if they were given the answer without trying for it, it wouldn't be as satisfying if they figure it out by themselves.
They feel the ground shake once again and he then smells the Digimon. He stiffens and moves between the group and Dokugumon. "I'll handle this." He says and then charges forward to attack the Digimon before Dokugumon could send out her mini spiders.
He attacks using his Air Slasher attack. This hits the virus Digimon head on and he then dodges the Poison Thread attack. He lets loose an other Air Slasher and this time aims for the spider wed that's holding the enemy Digimon in the air. This sends the champion Digimon flying towards the closest wall. He then uses Sonic Breaker to tackle the virus Digimon. The enemy is then deleted and he then does a back flips as he uses the wall as a springboard.
He then turns to see that Tai has chosen the Gomamon card as the correct card. They then race through the iron doors. He's kind of happy not to land in a dog pile on the floor.
He wakes to find himself in a forest. He gets up and notices that the other Digimon were also getting up. He checks to see where the humans were and grins in relief at seeing them lying on the ground.
"So, should we forage for food?" Gabumon asks. "No, there's usually loads of food at their houses." He answers. Agumon agrees with him and they then wait around for their partners to wake.
Soon the humans wake and he grins as Jager dusts himself off. Then Jager goes through his pack and takes out a glass case. Jager then puts on the shades. The shades hide Jager's eye colour, so that they didn't have to worry about questions about his mismatch eyes.
They then begin to walk down the stairs. "I just thought of something, which house will Jager going to stay at?" Sora asks. They all pause at this and they turn too look at Matt and then at TK. Matt gets what they were thinking, but TK doesn't. "I guess I can talk to my dad about having him stay with him and me." Matt says. TK just beams at his older brother and then at Jager.
He then hears the approaching teacher and stands shock still. He watches as the Teacher then is tricked into giving Jager a ride to Matt's apartment. The story was that Jager was a distant cousin and that he got dropped off to visit with Matt and TK. The teacher bought it hook, line, and sinker.
They then ride the bus back to their homes. With the knowledge that Kari's the Digidestine that they were looking for, Tai decided to search the whole apartment in search for Kari's Digivice.
With the fact that they didn't spend the day like it happened last time around, they didn't encounter any bad Digimon. Soon Jager and Matt got off the bus with Gabumon and him. They then walk up the stairs to get to the apartment. Once they entered the place, he heads straight for the fridge. He then takes out thing to make a sandwich with and starts in on it.
Out the corner of his eye, he sees Matt looking impressed with this and then Matt also takes the items when he finish with them to make more sandwiches. He then sits at the table and eats his snack.
He notices that Jager is already going through his laptop computer. He then just rests on the couch and watches as Matt turns on the TV. Gabumon and Matt also begin to eat their sandwiches as they watch TV. He sighs in relief. It's been so long since Jager and him were last in the real world. He soon drifts off into sleep.

She just stares as her older brother tries to get the white thing from out beneath the bed. Every time Tai gets it out, Tai either kicks it back under or their pet cat bats it around. She giggles as Tai lectures their cat about not playing with the Digivice.
Agumon was already sleeping on the bed and she's just sitting on a chair watching. It seems that she's a Digidestine and the Digivice under the bed is her's. Tai finishes with his lecture and once again gets the Digivice out of the bed and then just hands it to her.
Her brother then heads out of the room to get something to eat. She looks at the device in her hands and wonders just where her partner is. She also wonder how Tai knew that she's the Digidestine that this evil Digimon is looking for.

He grins as he thinks about the water war Patamon and him had. Patamon had joined him in the tub. He doesn't remember which of them started the water fight first but it happened, plus it ended in a truce.
Then Patamon asks, "What to you think of Jager?" He thinks about it and then says, "I guess I got a new brother. Why?" Patamon then says, "Then does that make Revmon my brother?" He blinks and says, "Guess it does."
He moves the covers of his bed back and then gets under the cover. After he gets covered up, Patamon then asks, "What's a brother good for?" He pauses and thinks about his relationship between Matt and him. "A brother's there to help protect you. Also they're pretty smart and give real good advice too. They can also be annoying and can tease you a whole lot. It's a special thing." He tells his partner. Patamon then says, "That doesn't sound too bad." He grins a bit at his best friend and then he moves over to let Patamon get under the blankets.
