Author's Note: Well, here's chapter one again, re-vamped to make it easier to read!

"Ah man, I'm late again! Why am I always late!"

The voice was that of Takuya Kanbara, a brunette of fifteen years who was wearing a pair of light brown colored cargo pants, along with a dark green shirt that had the same symbol on it as his hat, a red button down shirt, currently unbuttoned, resting over his shirt. Like usual, his hat was accompanied with his squared goggles, the combo of which were hiding his hair from view. The Warrior of Fire tried extending his steps as his school finally came into view, diving threw a set of bushes to cut the time he would have to take in half...and ended up crashing into someone else who had apparently already done that. The two rolled over and over a couple of times until they regained their bearings, at which point both sat up...and laughed as they saw each other. The boy whom Takuya had crashed into was none other than his best friend of a few years; Kouji. The dark blue haired boy was dressed nearly the same as he had been all those years before, the only difference being that his bandanna was gone, revealing that he had finally gotten a haircut, the style being similar to that of Takuya's.

"Had the same idea I did, eh Takuya?" Kouji said as the two picked their things up, Takuya nodding and laughing a bit before the two started jogging off towards the school again.

"Hey, if they start to close the doors, think I could dive inside like I did back when we were called to the Digital World?" Kouji snickered and shook his head, speeding up so that Takuya would quit chatting and concentrate on getting to class. The two boys just barely got inside before the doors closed behind him, the bell ringing a few seconds later. The two collapsed against a wall, panting in a rather ragged fashion before glancing at each other, at which point they started cracking up again...that is, until a teacher walked up to them, quirking a brow at them.

"May I ask what's so funny, boys?" The two snapped their attention to the teacher, each one managing to keep a straight face for only a few seconds before they started laughing again. The teacher fumed at this, reaching out as if he was going to grab them, but Kouji held up a hand, managing to get control of himself.

"It's just that we realized that we forgot our schedules, so we have no idea where to go." The teacher furrowed his brows, obviously confused by the explanation until he sighed, turning around and gesturing for them to follow.

"Well, come on. I'll guide you two to the office so that you can figure out which classes you have today." Takuya and Kouji nodded, following the teacher in silence, except for the couple of times that they shot glances at each other and started snickering. What the teacher didn't realize was...that they were actually in the wrong building for this school. They were supposed to be in the high school building, not junior high school building!

Kouji and Takuya had managed to get everything straightened out, managing to get to their first hour class without too much trouble. Luckily, their first class was gym, and since it was the first day, they weren't going to dress out. Much to the shock of the two boys, though, they saw that most of their friends from the Digital World were in their class. Izumi, Junpei and Kouichi were there, but Tomoki was nowhere in sight. With a shrug, the two went off to a corner of the gym and started speaking, pulling out their cell phones and holding them in front of them, as if expecting them to change back to D-Tectors right then and there.

"Each and every time I hear my phone so much as I beep, I grab it up and start to get it into position to Spirit Evolve." Takuya admitted quietly, keeping his voice low so that no one else in the gym would hear what was being said. The others nodded, even Junpei, who had set his cell phone down in the center of the circle.

"You know, it would be considerably easier to get to school if we could Spirit Evolve, eh?" Kouji said this as he glanced over at Takuya, the two of them cracking up after hearing this, barely managing to their laughter under control. The others glanced over at the two boys who had been able to Hyper Evolve back in the Digital World in an obvious state of confusion before simply shrugging. Just as they were about to get up and go join their various friends in other parts of the gym, each of their cell phones let out a low beep, Ophanimon's symbol appearing on the screens. The teens gapped at each other in obvious shock before moving out of the gym and hiding in a dark corner in the hallway, looking at their cell phone.

"Ophanimon?" Izumi whispered, the others raising their cell phones close to their faces so that Ophanimon wouldn't have to speak too loud.

"Yes, children, it's me; Ophanimon. Seraphimon, myself and Cherubimon have all regained our Ultimate levels...but a new evil is starting to arise. Where are you now?" She paused after saying this, obviously asking in hopes that they wouldn't get in trouble for using their cell phones.

"Right now we're at school, but it's pretty much a study hall, if you know what that is." Junpei was the one to answer this time, but before Ophanimon could answer, Takuya spoke up.

"What about Tomoki? Are you going to be contacting him after you finish with us?" The others glanced at each other after Takuya said this, obviously realizing that Takuya and Tomoki still had that brotherly relationship that had started on the very first day in the Digital World.

"Yes, I will be, Takuya-kun, don't worry. I just saw that you five were together at the moment, so I decided to contact you first." Takuya nodded, showing that he was okay with this explanation, but then another question came to mind.

"What new evil is it that's starting to arise? We defeated Cherubimon and Lucemon, what more could there be that you wouldn't be able to handle?" This question had been going through each of the children's minds as soon as Ophanimon had mentioned it, but now that Takuya had asked it, they finally really began to wonder...who or what could be more powerful than Lucemon? A sigh was heard from their cell phones, so each one re-focused their attention on it, obviously wanting to find out.

"The thing is, children...is that we don't know what it is. All we know is that it threatens the very existence of the Digital World the longer it stays." Takuya was the first to raise his head, his eyes immediately going to Kouji, the boy whom he had first Ancient Spirit Evolved with to form Susanomon, just managing to destroy Lucemon: Fallen Mode. Kouji raised his eyes at the same moment, the two keeping their eye contact for a few seconds before looking around at the rest of the group.

"What could be so powerful..." Izumi started, Junpei picking up where she left off;

"...that The Three Great Angels themselves wouldn't even be able to determine what it was?

In the silence that followed, the tension level probably could've been cut a few times over and made a rather large sandwich out of. Ophanimon could be heard clearing her throat, so the teens quickly brought their eyes back to their cell phones, obviously wanting to hear from her. "We're not sure what it is at this point, so that's why we actually called previous Chosen Children before calling you." Confused looks spread around the circle, making it obvious that they didn't know of any other Chosen Children, but they stayed quiet as Ophanimon continued. "Now, you must make a choice, children: I can change your cell phones back into their D-Tector form and transfer you immediately to the Digital World. I if I do that, though, I will be unable to turn back time when you come back, and you will be thought of as missing. Your other option is that I can change your cell phones into D-Tectors now, and then you can wait until school has let out for the day before I bring you back to the Digital World." Takuya lowered his cell phone down, leaning back against the wall as he thought about the decision, pursing his lips for a few seconds before raising the cell phone back up.

"If something threatens the Digital World, that thing is threatening our second home. Beam me up, Ophanimon." Takuya said this with such conviction in his voice that it convinced everyone else without a second thought, this being shown as everyone said that they agreed.

"I thank you, children. You truly are the Legendary Warriors. Before I change your cell phones, though, I must tell you: You will not be the only Legendary Warriors. I will be contacting four other children to take on the spirits of the other four spirits, but you will not see them until much later. As I told you before, we do not know what or who this evil is. If we're going to be able to combat this thing, we're going to have to spread our forces. Takuya, Kouji, yes that does mean what you probably think it means; You will not be able to Hyper or Ancient Spirit evolve until your entire group is united." The two boys that Ophanimon had just mentioned let out obviously disappointed sighs, remembering the kind of power they had felt coursing through their veins when they had Hyper and Ancient spirit evolved to combat evil. "However, in doing so, you might just be more powerful. When I transform your phones, all of you will be able to Double Spirit Evolve, but I suggest that you wait until you absolutely need to before doing that." Junpei, Izumi and Kouichi perked up after hearing this, smiles creeping onto their faces as they heard the good news. "Originally, the other four spirits that Cherubimon had taken did not have a Double Spirit form, so the new warriors will have to absorb a large amount of data that this evil Digimon has taken if they wish to make Double Spirit forms for themselves. They have been ordered, however, not to take any data from the Digital World itself, just from the new evil."

"Now, if you're ready to come home..." Ophanimon trailed off, the five teens glancing around once more to make sure that none of their friends had wondered out of the gym in search of them, their eyes going back to their respective screens and nodding at Ophanimon's symbol. As soon as each had given her a nod, their respective phone was covered in light before slowly transforming right within that child's hand, each cell phone turning into its respective D-Tector form. Unlike the first time it had happened, though, Takuya's and Kouji immediately went to their Hyper Evolution state, the Warriors of Fire and Light glancing at each other before looking at the screen again after the transformation had stopped.

"Ophanimon, I thought you said that Hyper Evolution would be impossible. Why give us our upgraded D-Tectors at this point?" Junpei frowned after he heard Kouji ask that question, stepping forward and poking his friend in the chest.

"Why do you think, idiot? It's so that she can conserve energy for later, when she possibly makes it so that someone other than you two can Hyper evolve." Kouji let out an 'Oh' after Junpei explained this...right before they were all surrounded by a bright light. When the light faded...there was no sign of any of the children.
