Chapter 4
He finishes playing his game and finds that Revmon and Gabumon were already resting. He looks over to where his 'older' brother is making supper. He closes his computer and asks, "Did you want me to set the table?" He walks into the kitchen area. Matt looks over at him and nods. He first cleans off the table, going through the mail and paper to make sure that he doesn't throw out anything important.
After taking things off the table, he then takes a rag soaked in hot water and then wipes the table with the rag. He finishes and rinses off the rag under hot water and then set out to set the table with dishes. He then stand there, looking at his handy work.
"You're such a clear freak, you know that?" Matt pipes in. He turns to his 'older' brother and says, "Sue me. I also question weather some of this dishes are even clear…" He dodges the wet rag that he used to wipe the table. Matt rolls his eye at this and turns back to keep an eye on the food. He picks up the rag and puts it in the hamper.
He then picks up his pack and heads into Matt's room. He cleans out a dresser and then puts some of his cloths into the dresser. He looks at some of his shirts. Some of them, like the one he's wearing, were design to remind him of his friends. He has a blue shirt with a picture of a silver dragon on the back, a tribute to Davis, a orange long sleeve shirt with Dino prints making trails on the front and back, a tribute to Tai, and the shirt he has on stands for his older brother, Matt.
He finishes putting his clothes away. He then finds Matt and the Digimon eating without him. He snorts and sits down at an unused spot. He soon helps himself. The TV's on and they listen to the commercials. Matt finishes eating and clears off his stuff. With most of the meal done, Gabumon and Revmon also put their plates and stuff by the sink. He finishes and does the same.
He then notices the time and asks, "Isn't our dad suppose to be on his way home by now?" He sits at the table with his laptop computer. Matt answers, "He might be working late." He nods and he starts the computer up again. He the inserts one of the disks and begins to create records of himself.
He continues for a good three hours, by then he turns to glance at the door. Soon his father opens the door and walks in. He moves his computer screen down a bit and greets his dad, "Hi." His dad blinks and Matt explains, "This is Jager. I meet him at camp. You don't mind if he stays with us for a while. Until his parents get back?" He sighs mentally; he isn't mind getting his own apartment. He'll need Gennai's help with that though. He'd need then to make a more complete history for his parents.
They wait and then their father nods his head tiredly. "Until his parents get back then." Their dad says and then walks over to the fridge to get something to eat. He then moves the screen back up and closes his windows. He then opens a game and begins a game of poker. He feels his dad behind him, but continues to play the game.
Their dad then says, "Where did you get those toys?" He looks up and looks over at Matt. "We found them on a hiking trail." Matt states. A silence greets this and then their dad then heads to his room. "If you say so." The parent says before the door closes. He frowns a bit and then returns to his game.
He wonders if they should have traveled around the city. They could have deleted some of enemy Digimon, but he shakes his head. They'll meet up tomorrow and then he'll suggest that they go after Myotismon's minions. He finishes up his game and then returns to the faking of documents.
(-------------------------------------Revmon---------------------------------------)
He dresses up in a hoody and some shorts. He ties his tail around his waist like a belt. He puts the hood up and looks into the mirror. He sighs but then remembers what Agumon and Tentomon had used in their past.
He turns to look at Gabumon. He sighs and nods his head. "It'll do." He tells the other rookie. "You think so?" Gabumon asks. He grins and nods his head. Taking one last look at the cloths that Gabumon is using, which is an old blue robe. He could see where the horn is, but it shouldn't be much trouble. He figures that anyone who saw either of them will think it's for a play.
They walk out of Matt's room and then out the door with Matt leading the way. He's found that Matt's a lot calmer about all of this. They walk towards the park. Joe is picking up TK.
After a good forty minutes of walking, they finally make it to the park. They find Izzy, Tentomon, Tai, Agumon, and Kari waiting. Agumon and Tentomon were wearing their out fits. He grins slightly at looking at the eight-year-old girl. She looks just as he remembers she looks like at this age. He never did find out if Kari ever handed out any of the pictures she took during the second time around.
"Hey Matt! Jager. This is my little sister, Kari." Tai says. Kari smiles and says, "Nice to meet you." He glances at Jager and could see the small smile on his partner's face. "Hey, I'm Jager and this is my partner Revmon." Jager says. He moves his hood to reveal his head. "Hi." He says to Kari.
Kari stares at him for a few minutes and then looks at Jager. Jager has his shades on, hiding his mismatched eyes. After a few minutes Kari then looks at Matt and then at Gabumon. He glances to where Matt decided to sit down with Gabumon on his left.
Jager and him sit down under a shade of a tree. Kari then begins to ask Jager and him questions. They were mostly on the subjects of what the Digital World is like. Both his partner and him answer truthfully and honestly. He also unties his tail were he gets too uncomfortable.
Soon Sora and Biyomon arrive and soon Tai and Sora are talking about soccer. Soon Mimi and Palmon arrive with Palmon in a baby carriage. Mimi then complains about how heavy Palmon is. He snorts and soon Tai's introducing Kari to Mimi and Palmon.
Soon Joe, Gomamon, TK, and Patamon appear. He grins as TK meets Kari for the first time. As they watch TK introduces Joe and himself to Tai's sister. Kari then gets up and introduces herself to Joe and TK.
Soon everyone sits down and Izzy started, "There has been sightings of Digimon on the news last night. Mostly in the Highton View Terrace, but I believe that they'll be widening their search for Kari." They all turn to look at Jager. Jager looks sober and says, "Back in Revmon's and my past, we spend most of yesterday traveling around the city. Fighting Myotismon's minions and trying to bum rides." He nods in agreement with this. The others look surprise and Mimi then says wistfully, "It was nice to be home again and not worrying about Digimon." Many others agreed with this, though Kari looks kind of confused.
Tai then says, "Did we miss anything important?" Jager answers, "Only thing I can think of is trashing the street and bridge at Highton View Terrace and remembering what happened a few years ago." Everyone pauses and then Kari asks, "Like what?" He watches as he partner is lost in his memories and he coughs a bit to snap his partner out of it. "What happened was two Digimon battled it out. One was a Greymon and the other was a Parrotmon. Lots of kids saw the battle, but not all of them were chosen. Plus most people believe is was a terrorist bombing." Sora asks, "How could we forget about two Digimon fighting?" Jager shrugs and says, "Do any of you remember?" They all shake their head and Jager says, "There's your answer." The other glance at each other and then at Agumon. Agumon looks uncomfortable and says, "It must have been another Agumon."
Joe then asks, "So, now that we have Kari, what do we do next?" Once again everyone looks at his partner. "I can't give you guys the answers. It's up to you guys to chose. Things have changed then what they should have been. Mostly I think it might be a good idea to look around for Myotismon's minions." Matt then says, "Not TK or Kari though." Tai nods in agreement with that. TK then says, "Why not! I'm part of this too!" Jager says, "I'll keep an eye on them." TK looks like he wanted to protest, but he stops and looks at Jager. Then TK sighs and looks at him. He gives the eight year old a quick wink.
Soon the others split up, Tai and Izzy as one pair, then Mimi and Sora as another pair. Leaving Joe and Matt to pair up. They all wave bye to them and TK then turns and asks, "Then what are we going to do?" "Look for Gatomon." Jager tells his younger self. TK beams at Jager and Kari finally ask, "What's going on?" They all look at Kari and Jager then motions for them to sit down again.
His partner then waits for a few minutes, then begins, "True is, I come from a different future. I'm really TK, but to stop any confusion just call me Jager. You see, in six years from now, a group of Digimon will kill of the Digidestine. I get resurrected and my partner changes as well. You see, humans aren't meant to get reformatted in the Digital World. But I did, that's why I looks so different." Jager then takes off his shades to let Kari get a good look at his blue and green eyes. Then his partner puts them back on. "So, we survive this whole thing?" Kari asks. Jager nods, and continues, "What I haven't told anyone, but I'll tell you now is that in four years the Digital World will once again need Digidestine. Also four new kids about your guys age will be chosen to help save the Digital World. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail, but Myotismon is the one responsible for the trouble. You see, Myotismon's data possesses a human to stay alive." Kari, TK, and Patamon look upset about that. "You'll stop that from happening, right?" TK asks. Jager sighs and says, "I'll have to talk to Gennai about it, but that's in years to come. Right now, just don't say anything to the others about this, ok?" Kari, TK, and Patamon all nod their heads in agreement with this.
They all get up and dust themselves off and TK says, "What are we waiting for! Let's find Gatomon!" TK then grabs Jager's left hand and start dragging his partner off. Kari, Patamon, and himself just watch this and Patamon then asks, "That just warms your heart doesn't it?" Kari and him just nod in agreement. Then Patamon asks, "So, is it alright if I think of you as my older brother?" He looks over at Patamon and grins as he puts up his hood and says, "Sure." Then he ties his tail and Kari picks up Patamon. They soon walk towards the direction where TK is dragging Jager.
