Chapter 2: Return to Japan

The nine Titans all gathered back into the main room of Titan's Tower, worn out from chasing Fang. Cyborg went into his room to repair TK's wings, Beast Boy and Starfire went into the kitchen, Raven kidnapped Robin and disappeared into her room, and TK and Kari took Patamon and Gatomon to the living room and popped in their favorite American movie: McLintock.

"I've always thought this is what America would be like before I came here." TK said as G. W. McLintock came out of his house with his hat on the weather vane. "Cowboys and Indians."

Kari giggled. "So did I. But that was before we went to New York."

About halfway through the movie, Robin came in and sat at his workstation wearing a stupid grin. "Whoa, Raven's going a little far, isn't she?" TK asked in a teasing voice.

"We haven't gone that far." Robin said, taking off his mask and turning on his computer.

"The lipstick on your neck says otherwise, Tim." Kari replied, grinning. Tim blanched and fell off his chair. All four on the couch laughed.

Tim reached into a drawer and pulled out a square mirror. His face turned bright red as he looked into it and he began to wipe the offending substance away.

TK grinned. "Don't worry. We won't tell Beast Boy. Or Cyborg, either."

"Oh man, they'd never let me live it down." Tim moaned.

The four laughed again and returned to their movie. Tim sat down at his workstation again and pulled up several news reports.

There was Lex Luthor's presidential campaign ('God help us all if he makes it,' Tim thought), Wayne Tech releasing a new, more successful painkiller, ('And Bruce does it again') Wonder Woman and the Martian Manhunter successfully evacuate a collapsing building, several monsters attack Japan, Teen Titans East arrest Weather Wizard for unleashing Hurricane Katrina…

Wait a minute…

"TK, Kari, get over here, now!" Tim shouted. The two teens jumped over the back of the couch and raced to the Boy Wonder, as he pulled up the Japanese attack report.

"Several monsters attacked Tokyo last night." Tim said, hands flying all over the keyboard. "They completely destroyed half of downtown Shinjuku before one of your friends showed up, someone riding a huge horned hawk."

"Yolie." Kari said instantly.

"I'm trying to pull up pictures of the attack, but like I said, it was night and there weren't that many people there. So we might not…here we go."

The first picture was of a large Tyrannosaurus Rex spewing fire on a building. The next showed a large preying mantis throwing purple energy at a white furred yeti holding a bone club.

Yolie and her Digimon came in eventually, blasting and ramming the enemy Digimon to Kingdom Come.

"This is bad." Kari said, gazing at the destruction. "This is very bad. Why would those Digimon just attack Tokyo?"

"I don't know, but one thing's for sure," TK said, his hands shaking in anger, "We can't let this continue. It's time to go home."

Tim, Kari, Patamon, and Gatomon all stared at him before nodding. Before they could do more, however, a new voice said, "And you think Tim and I would let you go alone?"

They turned to find Raven standing in the doorway, her arms crossed. "Face it TK, like it or not, we're with you."

"This is a problem for the Digidestined." Kari pointed out. "You two can't go into the Digital World."

"Does it matter?" Raven retorted. "These Digimon aren't in the Digital World."

"What about Jump City?" Patamon asked.

"The others can take care of it." Tim said instantly. "Cyborg is always the team leader while I'm away."

"Face it, TK." Raven said again, walking forward. "You're the little brother I never had. I'm not going to let you walk into danger alone."

The two Digidestined and two Digimon shared a glance before TK muttered, "Fine."

"Great." Tim said cheerfully, turning back to his console. "We're going to have to go commercially. Raven can't teleport us there without exhausting herself, and the T-Sub would be too slow. And no codenames, we're going as Takeru Takaishi, Hikari Kamiya, Raven Ross, and Tim Drake. Pack tonight, and get your passports."

The next morning, the four Titans and two Digimon raced the sunrise on a plane and arrived at Tokyo airport at 7:27 AM. As they walked outside the airport, they froze.

Tokyo was a ruin. Debris was scattered sirens were sounding, and people lay huddled on the streets.

"We're too late." Kari whispered, clutching Gatomon close.

"I don't believe it." Tim said, gripping Raven's hand.

A loud roar echoed down the street, causing the six to adopt grim looks.

"We're not too late to prevent causing more damage." Tim said, sharp eyes spotting and abandoned alley. He ran into it, pulling off his shirt and revealing his Robin uniform.

A second later, a shout echoed up the street. "Titans, GO!" Japanese citizens dived out of the way as a red motorcycle blasted up the street, followed by a flying cloaked girl and four angels.

They closed in to find a huge red Tyrannosaurus demolishing a building. "Tokyo doesn't need another Godzilla!" Raven shouted. "Azerath Metrion Zinthos!"

As the spell rolled off her lips, her hands were covered with shadows. Throwing her arms out, she released several shadow blades, which sliced through the dinosaur, causing it to roar.

"Search for a dark ring or a dark spiral!" Hope shouted, activating both beam shield and sword. "We can free it and send it back to the Digital World!"

To their surprise, the Tyrannosaurus laughed. "You think I'm doing this against my free will? Think again! Fireball!" It sent a huge blast of fire at the airborne Titans, forcing them to dive out of the way.

"Tyrannomon!" Angemon called. "What have the humans done to you?"

"Nothing, but I don't care!" Tyrannomon roared, sending his claws into another building. "I just have to destroy!"

"There's no reasoning." Robin called into his comm from the top of a building. "We have to take him out!"

"It's up to the Digimon and the girls!" Hope called, tossing his sonic net. Tyrannomon sliced through instantly.

"Ready, Light?" Raven asked.

Several weeks ago, Raven discovered Light's potential to be a mystic and immediately began to train her. True to their differences, Kari preferred the holy Light magic as opposed to Raven's trademark demonic Black magic.

Still a beginner, Light uses her arrows in battle until she can build up her magical reserves enough to not drain her during battle.

"Ready, Raven!" Light called.

"Robin, Hope, distract it!" Raven shouted. "The rest of you, use the most powerful attack you have without exhausting yourselves!"

As Robin and Hope sent nets at the large Digimon, the four energy users circled the monster, glowing different colored energy.

"Hand of Fate!"

"Heaven's Charm!"

"Holy Blast!"

"Azerath Metrion Zinthos!"

Four beams, three holy, the other demonic, crashed into the dino Digimon. It roared and began dissolving.

Hope and Light landed on a collapsed building with their Digimon. "I wish we didn't have to do that." Kari whispered as she took off her helmet.

"I know." TK whispered back. "But we had to."

Robin and Raven joined them, and they were about to move on when a voice stopped them. "Who are you?"

The Titans whirled around. Standing behind them was a young boy, about eleven or twelve years old. He had straight brown hair and piercing green eyes.

He glanced wearily at the Titans until his gazed fell on TK and Angemon. His eyes widened. "TK?"
