Dark Control:

Preparing for War

Motiyama Residence:

Takato groaned as he sat down on the Motiyama's couch, Davis's parents had been taking him all over Odiaba, after dropping off the young tamers, to see if he recognized anything, thinking that they would help him find his home, *I know that they are just trying to help but it would be kind of hard telling them I know exactly where I am yet still don't know my way home.*

Takato had to admit thought that it had been an interesting trip, he was sure he had a lot of kids and even some adults try to hide their partners, *At least I know for sure the time I'm in, I guess everyone is still getting used to having digimon around in the real world.*

Davis mother called from the kitchen, "Takato, would you like to help me with dinner, Davis should be home right about now." As if cued, the door opened and Davis walked in.

Veemon, who had been playing with Guilmon on Davis's bed, quickly headed towards the door to meet his partner, "Davis, your home, what happened today?"

Davis walked past Veemon with a grimace, "Hey Takato, what were the names of your friends again?"

Takato looked at Davis, "Why do you ask?"

Davis looked straight at Takato, "because I think they were at school today, and Kari, Ken, and Yolei all said that they got warnings from them."

Takato was shocked, "What?!"

Davis shook his head, "It's true, they all said that we shouldn't go to the digital world anymore, that it was to dangerous, we decided to meet after dinner at the school, all of us, to decide what to do."

Takato couldn't believe what he was hearing, "Are you sure it was them? I mean, why didn't they try to find me?"

Veemon, who had been listening spoke up, "Maybe they don't know you're here."

Guilmon's voice then came from behind him, "Takatomon, I'm hungry again, are we going to eat soon?"

Takato turned around to his partner, "I think so Guilmon, come on, let's see if we can help."

Digital World (Controlled Sector (HQ)):

SDF stepped back as the doors to the elevator opened for FDF, "The tamers have delivered their messages sir"|

FDF turned his head to SDF, "Very good, but once again I feel like you have something more to say, it wouldn't be about my recent behavior would it?"

SDF was surprised, again FDF knew what he was feeling, "Yes sir, actually it is."

A serious look came across FDF's face, "Lately I've been trying to act the optimist, but this mess has been trying my one and only nerve from the moment that, that BOY, that human boy, escaped from his holding cell, grabbed the young ones, and blew a hole in our aerial facility!"

SDF just listened to FDF's rant calmly, "So you are worried about the boy."

FDF looked at incredulously, "I'm not worried about some human brat, it's his partner that worries me, it was that digimon that caused that disturbance just before D-reaper attacked, and if you remember it was that disturbance that almost alerted that destroyer to our presence, the only thing keeping us from it's power is our lack of control over it's control, Takato Matsuki."

SDF smiled, "We will have to rectify that then won't we."

FDF gave a half grimace smile, "Yes, indeed we will." As the doors opened again, FDF turned to SDF, "Get the Tamers ready, if the Destined come to the Digital World as I believe they will, we need to be ready, it is time we got serious."

Odiaba School (Computer Lab):

Tai looks over the assembled Destined, "So we're all agreed then, we're going to go back to the Digital World and find out what really is going on there."

Calumon, who had stayed with Tai and Kari, was bouncing around on the computer monitors behind him, so despite the severity of the meeting most of the Destined found it kind of hard not to laugh out loud, Kai noticed, "What's so funny?"

Calumon then promptly jumped on Tai's head, chaos soon followed, when order was finally regained it was Sora who took control, "Guys, stop fooling around, now are we going to go to the Digital World or not?"

Davis was the first to up off the floor where those who hadn't tried to help Tai had fallen with laughter, "I don't know about you guys but I'm going, Digi-port open!"

Yolei got up, "Hey Davis, wait for us, everyone get ready, Digi-port open!"

With that everyone, followed Yolei as she followed Davis to the Digital World.

Digital World:

The first thing they heard when they entered the Digital World was Davis, "What took you guys so long?"

T.K. got up first, "We wouldn't of taken this long if you had waited for us."

Takato pushed himself up from the ground, "I don't think I'm ever going to get used to this."

That's when Davis got a look at Takato's new wardrobe, "Whoa, Takato where did those come from?"

Takato down and quickly found that he was wearing the armor again, "Oh man, not this stuff again."

The others began to get up too, Tai was the first to notice Takato's armor, "Takato, why are you dressed as a knight?"

Digital World (Nearby):

"So they're finally here, it's about time."

Henry turned to Rika, "Takato's with them, looks like they'll get their way after all."

Ryo sighed, "I guess we should get ready, it's too bad really that we have to fight them, maybe even destroy them."

Kenta walked up to the three, "Do you think they'll stand a chance?"

Kazu came up behind Kenta, "If it was just use or an army of Digimon from here, maybe, but both, no way."

Rika shook her head, "For once, I agree with the kid with the visor"

As they finished Jeri and her partner walked towards the group, "Well, I don't care as long as I have Leomon with me."

Quietly, Kazu whispered to Kenta, "I think we've lost her", and all Kenta could do was nod.

Rika then took a look at the Destined and then quickly turned back, "It looks like their breaking into groups, come it's time we started this."
