Chapter 18
He finishes reading a book when he hears something coming from the computer. He gets up and checks the computer. He blinks as the screen begins to glow and soon he finds himself at the bottom of a dog pile. Gennai promised to fix that problem soon.
"Sorry Revmon, but I wanted to visit with Jager." A ten-year-old TK says. "That's ok, but get up!" He tells the kid. Soon he can stand up right and he looks at TK. He notices that TK has a new hat on, the white fisherman's hat that he remembers … Jager wearing when he was younger. TK as grown taller but no to the height that he'll have when he's twelve years old though. He notices that TK's shirt was a brown long sleeve shirt with orange pants and blue runners.
He turns to look at Patamon, his own 'brother' as it were. He finds that Patamon still looks like he did from the last time he visited with the orange Digimon, which was just five days ago. "Hi Revmon. Hope we're not intruding." Patamon says.
He snorts and says, "I think Jager went for more supplies about an hour ago. I'm just hoping that he actually be able to make it home without looking like ran a marathon." That makes both TK and Patamon smile at the image. Jager's lady problems were still going strong with no end in sight. Matt, too, was beginning to have problems with the opposite gender too and was sometimes asking Jager for advice on what to do. Most of Jager's ideas were working for Matt; just too bad they weren't working for Jager though.
They move towards the couch and TK picks up the remote and changes the mode to a Japanese station. Few members of the group understood English and therefore don't understand why Revmon and Jager likes to what English channels, especially ones from America. Izzy and Matt usually pop in to watch stuff from other countries though. Izzy for the science news updates and Matt for the music.
After a good nineteen minutes of watching TV, they hear a knock at the door and he gets up to open it. In the hallway was Jager and he looked tired, but he had brought home groceries. He helps bring in the six bags and says, "TK and Patamon are here." Jager just nods and perks up at the mention of their visitors.
TK looks up as Jager puts the groceries bags his carrying on the table. "Hey, big bro. Still playing tag with the ladies?" TK teases Jager. Jager looks sour at that and says, "I just wouldn't mind a chance to walk into a store and not get stared at by the teenage girls. Why can't they just leave me alone?" "Cause then they'd be bored." He says cheerfully. Patamon giggles and Jager just rolls his eyes at this. TK gets up and the three of them begin to put the stuff away.
They soon finish and TK then asks, "Has Kari been talking about me?" Jager and him study TK for bringing up this topic out of nowhere. TK looks uncomfortable from their stares and says, "It's just that, Tai's been giving odd looks and Matt's been hinting at something between Kari and me…" TK trails off. "Not too much, but then, why should she? We're kind of twins in most of the groups eyes." Jager answers slowly. TK just sighs and nods at that.
He sits in the lazy boy chair and thinks about that statement. It's how most of the Digidestine have decides things were between TK and Jager. Both of them had the same data and Jager has lived his younger years as TK. His partner changed his name as to not get the younger TK confused with himself. So after Izzy had did some scans six months after the whole save the world thing, Izzy conclude that they might as well be twins despite the fact that Jager looks so different.
"Where did TK get the hat?" He asks his own little brother. "I think Kari sent it." Patamon tells him. He nods and he thinks about it. "He got her a camera then?" He asks. Patamon nods and they watch the TV, for TK and Jager were now on the computer. Jager was most likely showing TK the files from the disks that they brought back with them. Mostly Izzy, Kari, and TK were willing to learn more about their future opponents then the others of the group. Not that he could blame them; some of that group of Digimon have yet to Digivolve yet.
He looks at Patamon with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "You want to go out for ice cream?" He asks his little brother. Patamon thinks about it and says slowly, "They'll be at it for hours and it gets boring just watching TV. Sure why not." He grins in triumph at heads for his room to get his disguise on. Soon he checks to make sure he has enough cash for the ice cream and he carries his little bro out the door and locks the door with his keys.
(---------------------------------------TK-------------------------------------------)
He reads the profile on Lykamon. He likes spending time with his older 'twin' brother. Always have and always will. For Jager didn't try to keep him out of the action or to keep info from him. He had to admit that between which of his brothers he likes more, Jager would win out by a hair.
They've been on the computer for a good hour and half when they hear the door unlock and open. He turns to look at Revmon and Patamon. Both looked quite pleased about something, in his opinion it was most likely about food.
Then they hear a beeping sound. Jager minimizes the windows and clicks on the E-mail. It's from Gennai:
To Jager and TK
There's a powerful Digimon in the Digital World. I can't get a hold of the others but have found two others that are on their way. Port to the Trinity Desert to help out.
From, Gennai.
Before he could say anything, Jager already has a gate open and Revmon and Patamon are by their sides as they enter the Digital World. They soon are in a desert and he asks, "Couldn't we contact the other?" "If Gennai can't get a hold of them and that he's chosen two new guys to fight this Digimon, I think it's too important to pass up. We also don't know how long the portal would be active before it's blocked." Jager explains to him.
He sighs and turns this over in his head as they begin to walk through the desert. He feels Patamon's weight on his head after a few minutes of walking. He just hopes that everything is going to be alright.
(--------------------------------------Ken-------------------------------------------)
He carries his partner in his arms and tries to think about what just happened. It started when that white device appeared out of the computer…
(-/-/-/-)
He was just examining his brother's computer when the screen begins to glow and then this small white device lands on the ground in front of him. His brother comes into the room and notices the device. "What is it Sam?" He asks his brother. "I don't know Kenny boy, but don't touch it, ok?" Sam asks him. Sam then puts it in the desk.
He watches as Sam leaves the room and then he tries to ignore this feeling of disobeying his brother, but in the end he opens the desk and picks up the device. He points it at the computer screen and before he can say something, he gets drawn into the glowing light from the computer screen.
He lands in a forest and hears someone ask, "Are you ok, Ken?" He looks up and stares into the face of a green worm. He just stiffens and the green worm continues, "I'm Wormon, you're partner Digimon. I'm not going to hurt you, Ken. You're my partner." He asks, "Partner?" "That's right. I'm here to protect you." Wormon tells him.
He slowly gets up and finds that the white device was still in his one hand. "That's your Digivice." Wormon informs him. "It's mine and not my brother's?" He says. Wormon nods his head and says, "Yip. Sadly you're here to help save the Digital World from this evil Digimon named Millenniumon. Gennai promised to get more of the Digidestine to help, but it's you and this other human named Ryo that have made it so far though." He blinks as this sinks in. He asks, "But why me?" "Because your special." Wormon tells him.
They turn to find another kid walking towards them. By the kids side is a blue Digimon. "Hi, I'm Ryo Akiyama and this is Veemon." The older kid informs him. "Nice to meet ya!" Veemon tells him. He can't help but smile at the greeting. "I'm Ken Ichijouji and my partner Wormon." He tells the other two. He gets up off the ground and they soon just decide to wonder for a bit, they have no clue on which way to head.
(-/-/-/-)
For the better part of what seems to be two weeks, they have encountered Digimon that have been sent to destroy them. Wormon and Veemon have Digivolved into champions called Stingmon and ExVeemon to fight the evil Digimon sent after them.
They were just reaching the desert when something happens. An image of a man appears and says, "Good news! Two others have been reached and are already in front of you. They're names are Jager and TK and they are part of the group that saved the Digital World and real world two years ago. Just keep an eye out for a blond with a Patamon and a white haired teen with a black Digimon with green stripes on his back and arms. Sorry, but my connection is failing, good luck!" With that said and done, the image disappears leaving them alone once more.
"That's good news, I guess." Ryo says after a few minutes. He just nods in agreement with his friend. "I wonder just how long it'll take us to catch up." He says out loud. "Faster if we keep walking." Veemon says. They soon take Veemon's suggestion to heart and begin to walk once more.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
They walk throughout the night and by lunch; they spot something in the distance. They soon walk quickly towards the spot and find two humans with Digimon eating some roots.
The taller of the two was a teen with white hair just like the man had said. He also notices the black Digimon that was by the older teen's side. It also looks like what the man had described too. He feels relief as it hits him that the man was telling the truth.
"I'm Ryo and this is Ken. Veemon and Wormon." Ryo introduces them to the others. "I'm Jager and this is my brother TK. Revmon is the black one and Patamon is TK's partner." Jager informs them. He blinks as he looks between the two. Jager has one blue eye and a green one along with darker skin tone then TK. He guesses that TK's the blond, even though it's hard to tell with the white fisherman's hat on.
They sit down and Jager moves a pack closer to them. They find mostly roots in the pack and Ryo asks, "Where'd you find this?" "Found them here." TK answers. He finds that both Jager and Revmon studying him. Then they turn to study Veemon a bit. He wonders just why Jager looks puzzled as he studies Veemon, but decides it's has nothing to do with him or his partner.
They soon eat to their heart's content and he just sits back and listens to what Jager and Ryo exchange information about what's happening. He notices Jager frown, but seems to look at his partner. Revmon looks to be thinking about something and then after a good twenty minutes Jager says, "Time to move on then. Revmon?" Revmon just grins and soon begins to glow and they hear, "Revmon Armour Digivolve to… Shalindramon, flash of Darkness!" Ryo, Veemon, Wormon, and him just stares at the Digimon that used to be Revmon.
