Chapter 7: The Reunion
By RayD
Davis P.O.V
Davis intercepted the soccer ball in midfield, and dodged one defenseman, then two, and then he was on a breakaway with the goaltender. Davis dodged to the left then to the right, and soon the goalie was confused, but as Davis was about to take the shot, an image of Flamedramon appeared in front of him.
Davis…… A voice it said
"What the…Flamedramon?"
Suddenly the image of Flamedramon vanished from Davis' vision, and lost his footing.
"All shit" Davis said as he fell head first into the dirt of the field.
Everyone in the gym class pointed, and laughed at Davis' fall. All expect T.K. who was standing on the sidelines.
What is wrong with him? he thought as T.K. saw Davis get up from the ground, and give a stupid grin to everyone.
Demiveemon watched from Davis' gym bag, and thought the same. Maybe I should talk to him later… he thought.
Davis shrugged off the fall as he got up, and walked towards T.K., but he kept thinking about that image. Davis could remember that these images started to come to him right after that incident with Flamedramon going through the black rift. His partner was fine, but something inside Davis told him that something happened that day. Something happened to his partner, but yet he couldn't put his finger on it. What am I missing… Davis thought as he sat beside T.K.
"Davis, is there something wrong?" T.K. asked.
Davis shook his head, "No…it's nothing T.K. I'm just not in the game today…"
T.K. looked at Davis carefully. He knew he was lying, and that there was something bothering him, but what was it.
After gym class, the two digidestined headed inside to get changed into their normal clothes. Davis took his bag and clothes; into a far corner of the change room so he could open his gym bag, and let Demiveemon have some air without the other guys seeing him.
The small digimon hopped out of the bag, and looked at Davis. "Davis, something's bothering you isn't it?"
"It's nothing Demiveemon…Nothing's bothering me."
Demiveemon frowned at Davis. His partner was a terrible liar, and he knew that. "Are you sure?" Demiveemon asked again.
Davis smiled, "I'm fine don't worry. Now jump into the bag I have to go to the Cafeteria for lunch. "
The little digimon nodded, and quickly jumped into the bag. Davis zipped up the bag, and was soon walking to the Cafeteria, but as he did that, he started to think.
I hate to lie to Demiveemon, but I can't tell anyone that I am being haunted by an image of him as Flamedramon. The others would think I had gone crazy or something…
After Davis got his meal from the Cafeteria he sat down with the other digidestined, but he didn't say anything. When T.K. came over and sat down with the group they started to talk about strategies against the digimon emperor, but Davis remind quiet. He couldn't shake that feeling he got whenever he saw the image of Flamedramon.
Why does he keep coming into my mind… he thought, Something must have happened that day…something…I just know it.
Davis looked inside his gym bag, and saw his little partner sleeping soundly.
What happened to you...? he thought.
"So Davis what do you think." A voice called out making Davis lose his thought.
"Huh?"
"The plan Davis…What do you think?" Yolie asked.
"Uhhhh….I think it's great…"
Yolie gave Davis annoyed look, and said, "Davis, were you even listening to us?!"
Davis shook his head, and Yolie started to go red in the face. "Why aren't you listening then?" Davis looked away from the others, and didn't say anything.
"DAVIS!" Yolie yelled.
"YOLIE! Leave me alone!" he yelled, surprising all of the digidestined, "Just leave me alone…" Davis said as he grabbed his bag, and walked away from the digidestined.
"What wrong with him?" Yolie asked.
T.K. shook his head, "I have no idea…" he said, "I ask him, but he keeps telling me there's nothing wrong."
"Maybe I should talk to him." Kari said as she was about to follow Davis.
"No…Davis needs sometime to think." Cody said as he ate his lunch.
"But…" Kari said worriedly.
"Cody's right Kari…" T.K. interrupted, "Whatever's bothering him he has to figure it out for himself."
Kari sat down again, but she wanted to go see Davis. She hated seeing him like this.
Davis P.O.V.
Davis washed his face in the courtyard fountain of the school. He couldn't believe that he yelled at Yolie like that, but he needed to be alone, and she wasn't letting up. Davis sat down on a bench it was a good thing that Demiveemon wasn't with him. After yelling at Yolie, he had taken Demiveemon to the computer room so he could play with the other digimon, and that he could think about this alone.
"Davis….." a voice called out.
Davis turned around, and to his shock, he saw the image of his partner Flamedramon standing there. "Flamedramon…Why are you haunting me?"
However, the image just stood there, and stared at Davis. "Flamedramon what's going on." but all of a sudden the image disappeared again. "Flamedramon!" Davis yelled, but it was gone. Davis clinched his fist as he looked at where the image once stood.
"That's it!" Davis said, "I'm going to find out once, and for all."
Later…..
T.K. couldn't wait to go home. He had no homework for the weekend, and in about an hour his favourite show Yu-Gi-Oh was about to start. Life is good. T.K. thought as he rounded the corner of the hallway, and headed to his locker. However, he was surprised seeing Davis there leaning against his locker. "Davis…What are you doing here?" he asked.
Davis looked at T.K. and gave him a serious look. "T.K….I need you to do me a favour." T.K. looked at Davis with a serious look.
"I need you to take care of veemon for me. I…have to go somewhere."
T.K. glanced at Davis. "Go where?" he said. Davis turned away from T.K.
He knew T.K. would try to stop him, but he had to tell someone.
"I'm going to the digital world tonight by myself…" Davis said in a low tone.
"What!" T.K. nearly yelled, "You're going to do what?!"
"I'm going to the digital world tonight. I have to do something."
"Davis you can't…The digimon emperor will get you." T.K. said as he tried to understand why would Davis be so crazy to do this.
"The digimon emperor doesn't attacks at night remember. I won't be long…"
As Davis was about walk away, but T.K. grabbed his left arm.
"You're not going anywhere…" he said. Davis looked up at T.K., and gave him a glare that even he thought couldn't make.
(Think of Rika's Death Glare, but ten times worse O_O)
"T.K. let go of me. I have to do this." Davis said as he tried to make T.K. release his grip.
"No Way!" he said, "What's going on Davis? You have been acting weird these last few weeks. Why are you acting this way?" Davis turned, and glared at T.K. with anger in his eyes. "You can't tell what to do, and it's none of your business. Now let me go."
"No! I won't." Suddenly Davis quickly swung his right arm, and hit T.K. right in his head causing him to fall to the ground.
T.K. looked at Davis in surprise. He had never expected Davis to hit him, and he wondered where in the hell did Davis learn that move.
Davis looked down at T.K. with utter surprise. He didn't think about punching T.K., but it just happened, and he was shock he did it.
"I'm sorry T.K…."Davis said, "I didn't mean to hit you, but you left me with no choice."
T.K. got up, and rubbed his jaw. "At least tell me what's going on?" Davis looked at the ground, and said. "You remember gym class when I screwed up that breakaway shot?"
T.K. nodded.
"Well, during that time…I saw an image of Flamedramon in the field."
"An image?" T.K. questioned.
Davis nodded, "Yeah an image of him, and he was calling my name like he needed my help."
"So that's what's been bothering you."
Davis nodded, "Yeah…it been doing coming since that day Flamedramon went through that dark rift."
"But Veemon is fine; you know that." T.K. said. "Why do you have to go to the digital world?"
"I don't know….besides this image I see…I keep having this feeling that something happened that day. That something happened to Flamedramon. That's why I have to go to the digital world, and if there is something there we missed."
"But how can you know that?" T.K. questioned, "Going to the digital world by your self is dangerous."
"I know that," Davis answered, "but I have to do this, and I'm asking you as a friend to trust me on this." T.K. sighed as he heard those words. He knew Davis was a good friend, but what he was doing was dangerous. However, Davis is being serious about this, and Davis wasn't serious about most things. "How long will you be gone for?" T.K. asked.
"At least an hour," Davis replied, "it will take me sometime to find the place again."
T.K. picked up his backpack, and looked at Davis. "I'm guessing you don't want the others to know."
Davis nodded, "Yes…I don't want them to worry about me."
"Alright…but if anything happens I want you to email me right away ok?" Davis smiled.
"Thanks T.K. Demiveemon is with the others in the computer lab. Tell him that I am sorry I left him with you and that I will pick up some candy for him when I get back." Davis said as he started to walk down the hallways.
"I will, but you'll be careful ok?" T.K. said.
Davis turned, and smiled. "Aren't I always?" He said with a grin. T.K. shook his head. Same old Davis, he thought as he saw the goggle boy walk around the corner of the hallway. T.K. then started to walk towards the computer lab to go get Patamon, and Demiveemon, but one thing went through his mind.
How in hell am I going to explain this bruise to my mom?
Meanwhile in the Tamer's world
Flamedramon grabbed another piece of bread from the pile Takato had brought.
"Dam, Flamedramon you're almost eating more than Guilmon does." Takato said as he watched the dragon digimon eat another loaf.
"Sorry about that…I just love this bread." Flamedramon replied, "I never tasted anything like it."
Takato smiled, "Its okay. I'm glad you like them." Flamedramon nodded as he got, and walked outside into the park. It had been two weeks since Flamedramon had arrived to this world, and in those two weeks, Flamedramon had learned many things about this world. He meet all the tamers including Alice and Jeri, who was once a tamer herself, but her digimon died in the battle against the D-reaper. The news of a digimon dieing was something that he never even thought of. Back home digimon were reborn into a digiegg, but here they weren't. Instead, once digimon died here they didn't come back. Flamedramon also met other another set of pair of tamers named Kazu, and Kenta. It was somewhat funny because when the two first saw him they fainted right then in there. Takato later told him that Kazu and Kenta was big fan of the digimon show, and that seeing him was over whelming to them. It took almost an hour for them to get those two awake again, but once they did; the two introduced themselves. However, there had been one tamer that Flamedramon never got to meet. The tamers name was Ryo, and he had moved to China after the D-reaper incident. Henry managed to get an email to him, and Ryo sent his hellos.
However, a new thought came into Flamedramon's mind, and he sighed. I wonder what you are doing now Davis...
Back In the Digital World
Davis carefully walked through the dark dense forest as he held his digivice in his palm. Davis had never come to the digital world at night before, and he hoped he didn't have to again in the future. It was pitch black in the forest, and Davis could barely make out his surroundings as he searched for that clearing.
"This is like looking for a needle in a haystack." Davis said as he walked through the darkness. Davis looked over; before he made the trip, he checked the computer for the location of the clearing, but now it seemed unclear to him if he had found the right place.
"Dam….I should be close to it at least." Davis said as he pushed through the thick trees.
"Davis......"
A voice called through the depths of the trees. "Flamedramon….is that you?" Davis said as he heard the voice.
"Davis…." The voice said again. Davis quickly followed the voice, and hoped that maybe find his answer to why his voice plagued him.
"Davis…" it said again, and again.
Davis ran quicker, and quicker as he heard the voice continue to yell out. Suddenly Davis noticed that the voice was leading him.
But where? Davis thought as he pushed through another set of bushes, and pretty soon he came into a clearing.
"Where am I…?" Davis said as he looked around. However, that's when Davis noticed the what was in the clearing.
"This is it… "Davis whispered to himself as he looked closer at the site. This clearing was the one they battled in two weeks ago. The hole that Digimon made to trap the digimon slaves was still there, and the trees that Flamedramon burned when he attacked where still charred from the fire attacks. However, Davis attention turned to the tree in the middle of the clearing that had a broken branch. Davis walked over to it, and looked and placed his hand on the park. "This is where it happened…"
After Davis continued to look around the clearing for anything that he missed, but there was none. All Davis found was a battlefield with no answers. "Maybe T.K. was right. There's nothing here."
Suddenly Davis' digivice started to beep loudly, and it started glow a blue and red colour. "What the hell…"
Davis quickly pulled his digivice out, and looked at the screen, but what he saw shocked him. On the screen of his digivice was a small message that read:
Your Journey begins now Davis…
"My journey…" But before Davis could question this, he suddenly saw a dark portal open up. Davis looked in shock to it as the portal started to grow bigger in size.
Oh crap… Davis turned to run away from the every growing portal, but it was too late as Davis felt himself being swept off his feet by the gravitational pull of the rift, and seeing the darkness of the portal blind his vision.
(Sorry to interrupt, but to just make things clear this portal has made a copy of Davis so they're is another him left behind in the Digidestined world to carry out the events of Season 2. Hope that doesn't confuse you or anything ^_^ If you have questions email me. Now back to the story.)
Tamers World
Flamedramon jumped from tree branch to tree branch as he made his way through the park. This wasn't a normal stroll for him. Here he was heading back to the clearing where he first came to this world. Flamedramon brushed back the last of the bushes, and saw what he was looking for.
"Well….I'm here again." Flamedramon said as he stepped into a park clearing; the same clearing were he first appeared. After the incident with the DarkTyrannomon, Takato showed Flamedramon where he had landed, and where the portal had opened up. Flamedramon looked at the clearing with a sad look. Even after Renamon's talk, he still felt sad about not having Davis around, but still like what Renamon had said he has to have hope. Without hope, there is no chance.
"Flamedramon…" a voice said behind him. He turned around, and saw to his surprise was Rika.
"Rika…I didn't see you…" Flamedramon said, "What are you doing here?"
Rika shrugged, "I was bored this morning, and I thought of taking a walk through the park. By the way is gogglehead at Guilmon's house?"
Flamedramon nodded, "Yes he's there." He replied, but where's Renamon? Isn't she usually with you?"
"Yeah, but I let her go on her own when she finished her training."
"Oh okay…" Flamedramon replied as he turned around back to the clearing.
Rika looked at Flamedramon with quizzical look. She was no Einstein, but she knew something troubled the dragon just by looking at him. "Flamedramon…is there something wrong?" she asked.
"No nothings wrong…I'm just thinking." Flamedramon said as he looked at the empty clearing.
Rika turned around, and walked towards him.
"You're thinking about your world. Aren't you?"
Flamedramon nodded, "Yeah…just thinking about Davis that's all…"
Rika brushed back her hair, and looked at Flamedramon with a curious eye. She hoped he would get out of his depression that he was in, but that wasn't that made her curious.
Through the past two weeks, Flamedramon acted weird all the time around Renamon. Like he was shy or didn't know what to say, and to Rika surprise; Renamon was acting very strangely around him too. Rika who still remember the night she and Renamon got back home after the DarkTyrannomon attack…
*Flashback*
Rika walked into her house with a relief. This whole day wore her down a bit, but she still was amazed by seeing Flamedramon in their world. "Rika is that you?" Rika's grandmother called out.
"Yeah it's me." She replied, "Where's Mom?"
"Uh…she went out on a date with a young man tonight. She left some dinner for you in the kitchen."
Rika sighed; while she and her mom patched up things over the years. She still kept having those one nighter dates, and always-missing dinner with her and grandma. "At least she doesn't make me try on dresses anymore." she mused.
"No thanks grandma…I think I'll skip dinner tonight." Rika yelled down the hall as she got dressed in her nightclothes.
"Alright…I'm making some herbal tea. Would you like a cup?" Rika's grandma questioned.
"Yeah sure…I'll have some." Rika replied, "Renamon you want any?"
However, Renamon didn't say anything; instead, she was looking out the window as if she was lost in a deep thought.
"Renamon...hey Renamon." Renamon snapped out of deep thought, and looked back at Rika.
"Sorry Rika…I was…thinking. What do you want?" Renamon said in a somewhat nervous voice.
"Would you like some herbal tea that grandma made?"
"No thank you…" Renamon said as she return to staring out at the night sky.
"Renamon what were you thinking about?" I asked.
"Uhhh….it was nothing." Renamon said as she tried to hide a blush on her face.
"Renamon. I know when you're lying." Rika said sternly.
Renamon looked at Rika with uncertainly in her eyes. "I was thinking about Flamedramon…" She said with a blush, something that Rika had never seen her do, "I was wondering why I had never seen his kind before."
Rika gave her a puzzled look. "Yeah I was a bit surprised too, but Renamon…why were you acting weird around him?"
At that moment, Rika could have sworn that Renamon became frozen at her words. "What do you mean…? Rika?" She said without looking in her tamers eyes.
"You know what I mean. You were acting very strange around him, and I would like to know why?"
At that point, Renamon started to walk to Rika's side door so she could head outside, and think.
"It's nothing Rika…it's nothing."
"But Renamon…" However, it was too late for Rika to say anything else to the Kitsune as she saw her partner disappear into the night. Rika stared out at the night, wondering why Renamon was trying to hide something from her. Rika closed her side door, and climbed back into bed. However, as Rika allowed sleep to come upon her. She thought about Renamon.
What are you hiding from me? Rika thought as she closed her eyes for the night.
Flamedramon looked over at Rika, and saw she was in a state of deep thought. I wonder what she thinking about. He thought. Suddenly, a strange feeling went through Flamedramon's body. It was unlike anything he had felt before. He quickly looked in front of him with a puzzled look. Something was wrong, and Flamedramon knew it. Rika saw this, and started "What's wrong Flamedramon?" Rika asked, but Flamedramon just stood there not saying a word, which made Rika even more nervous. "Flamedramon…" she said.
"Something's coming…" Suddenly Rika saw her digivice start to flash a bright blue glow. "What the hell…" Rika grabbed her D-power from the side of her belt. The screen was blank, and only the color blue kept flashing. Flamedramon stood beside Rika, and was about to say something when all of a sudden a dark rift appeared in front of them. Flamedramon stared in shock as he noticed the portal was the same one he had been pulled through. "Is that….," but before Rika could finish her sentence the rift created a bright flash and a figure flew out nailing Flamedramon right in the chest. "Ahhh…." Flamedramon said as he landed on the ground. Lucky for Rika she got out of the way of the figure before it could hit her too. Rika looked over at the figure that lay on the ground. "Owwww….my head…." The figure moaned. Rika walked over, and kneeled down beside him.
"Are you ok?" she asked.
"Yeah I think so…." He replied as he looked up at her. Rika looked in shock at the boys face. While this person looked like he was 17 years old, she could tell that the face was of Davis Motimiya.
"Ahhh….my head." Flamedramon said as he got back to his feet. "Flamedramon….?"
Flamedramon, and gasped what he saw. "Davis….It's you!" Flamedramon broke into a run, and wrapped his arms around Davis.
"It's really you! I can't believe it!"
"Flamedramon….How did you get here…." Davis tried to say as he felt Flamedramon tighten his grip around him. "Flamedramon…let off…I can't breath."
Flamedramon let go of Davis and stood there smiling. "Sorry Davis… I'm just happy you're here."
Davis looked at Flamedramon with puzzlement. "How did you get here?" Davis asked. But before Flamedramon could tell his partner everything that had happened to him; he saw Takato, Renamon, and the others come running through the park.
"Hey, Rika what's going on?" Takato yelled as they ran towards them.
"Rika, are you alright?" Renamon questioned as she looked Rika over.
"I'm fine we just encountered the rift."
"The Rift!" Henry said, "Where is it now?" Rika looked behind her, and saw that it was gone.
"It must have disappeared when he came through." She said looking at Davis.
"Uhhh…I'm lost here…but my name is Davis." He said to the others. Takato walked up to Davis, and held out his hand.
"My name is Takato."
"Hey, you got goggles like me." Davis said as he noticed the yellow goggles around Takato's head.
"Yeah I do…" Takato said nervously as he tried to regain his composure. Davis attention soon turned away as he saw his reflection in the pond by them. "I look older…" Davis said as he placed his hand on his face.
Flamedramon walked up beside his partner.
"I noticed that too." Flamedramon said, "Maybe the portal had side-effects on you."
Suddenly a glow from Davis' pocket came out, and digivice floated into the air. The group watched in amazement as they saw the D3 morph into something else. After a minute, the glow faded, and it landed in Davis' hand. Takato, Henry, and Rika looked in utter shock as they saw that Davis' D3 had changed into a D-Power……..
Who sent that message to Davis, and why did his Digivice change to a D-Power. Could this mean something….Find out in the next chapter: A New Journey, A New Home……
Author Note: Finally, I got this chapter done. I had midterms this mouth and I couldn't really write anything when I had to study for them. Anyway, thank you all for putting in so many reviews for Chapter 6. I was really surprised by all your nice comments. I would also like to thank Tsunami Wave, the Lonely Kitsune, and Waynemon for helping me out with coming up with ideas for this story. I would also like to give notice to you all that I will be starting up another story called Digital Destiny. It will be co-written by Tsunami Wave and me, and it should be up in a couple of weeks. Now I know some of you may think that because I am stating up another story that I will never be able to update this one. Well, I can tell you right now that won't happen. No matter what my schedule throws at me, I will finish this fic. That's a promise.
