Odaiba ~March 13th 8:38 a.m.~
"Aw man" yelled Daisuke 'Davis' Motomiya as he ran as fast as he could towards the apartment building where the others were suppose to meet him. His hair stuck to his forehead with sweat and he brushed it every few minutes whenever it threatened to cover his eyes. "I'm late as it is!"
Hope they didn't leave me! he thought.
~x~x~x~
Hikari 'Kari' Kamiya, a pretty brunette, sighed through a smile when she saw her friend run around the corner. Her sigh caught the attention of Takeru 'Tk' Takaishi, her boyfriend.
"What is it?" asked Tk.
"Guess whose late again."
Davis' feet pounded on the pavement and stopped as he breathed heavily.
"*gasp* Sorry...I'm...late!" choked out Davis and fell on his hands and knees.
Kari chuckled. "It's okay. It's a good thing you came right before we left for the camping site."
Davis, Kari, and Tk, along with a few others, were about to leave on a camping trip to celebrate a year of defeating MaloMyotismon and just last month, was the four year anniversary of defeating Myotismon.
Four years ago, there were eight kids, Tk and Kari being two youngest ones, and along with their Digimon, saved the Digital World, from an cruel Digimon called Myotismon. They were known as the Digidestined. Each of them had a something called Crests that allowed their partner Digimon to digivolve into higher forms. The Digidestined drew power from as well as their physical manifestations in the form of small tablets, which were inserted into tags to wear around the neck.
And just last year, three more kids came along, one of the being Davis and again, Kari and Tk joined the new Digidestined. Their first challenge was defeating Ken Ichijoji, once known and feared as the Digimon Emperor. But once the new Digidestined freed Ken from evil, Davis managed to see past Ken's mistakes and accepted him as a friend, the others following his lead.
So since the anniversary dates of beating Myotismon, an enemy Digimon to both groups, were about close by, they simply decided on going to a camping trip in the woods.
Tk's eyes turned towards the left as he noticed the apartment's front entrance door open .
A lavender haired girl with large glasses stepped towards them. She was one of the three new Digidestined kids and the Digidestined of Love and Serenity.
"Hi Yolei!" greeted Tk (Digidestined of Hope).
Miyako 'Yolei' Inoue waved. "Hey! Is Davis here yet?" Her eyes narrowed when she noticed Davis on his knees, still trying to catch his breath. "Oh never mind..."
(Davis was the Digidestined of Courage and Friendship.)
"Is everyone ready upstairs?" asked Kari (original Digidestined of Light).
Yolei nodded. "Yeah, Matt's just making sure the food's ready and Tai's locking up."
"And where's the others?"
The entrance door opened again and a large group of people walked out, all of them chattering cheerfully.
A small short brown haired boy was in the front of the group and he spoke to a red-haired boy with a laptop in hand. The short one was Iori Hida, Cody for short, and the red-head was Koushirou 'Izzi' Izumi. Cody was the other new Digidestined, Digidestined of Reliability and Knowledge and Izzi formed part of the original, original Digidestined of Knowledge.
Behind them, two girls carried large sleeping bags, the pink-dyed haired girl named Mimi Tachikawa and the short haired brunette was named Sora Takenouchi. Both of them were part of the original eight Digidestined. Mimi was the original Digidestined of Serenity and Sora was the original for Love.
Two more boys followed after, each of them carrying more camping supplies. Joe Kido, Digidestined of Reliability, was the tall, blue-haired boy with glasses and Ken Ichijoji was the boy with straight dark blue hair, the Digimon Emperor in the past and the Digidestined of Kindness.
And finally, Yamato 'Matt' Ishida and his best friend, Taichi 'Tai' Kamiya held the rear with the rest of the camping supplies. Tai was Kari's older brother and Matt was the same to Tk. Tai: Digidestined of Courage and Matt: Digidestined of Friendship.
Remember that now.
Tai sighed as he dropped the tent he was carrying on his back. "Man, this is heavy..." he muttered.
"Well, at least this is the last of the stuff we need." Matt said and patted his friend on the back. The blonde looked around at the group.
"Is this everyone?"
The others nodded. "Yeah!"
"Now, wait just a minute!" cried out Joe. "We have to make sure of it!"
Sora giggled with Mimi and Yolei as Joe pushed up his glasses and stood on top of a curb to look at everyone above.
"Cody?"
"Here."
"Yolei?"
"Present!"
"Davis?"
"Right here."
"Kari?"
"Here.
"Tk?"
"I'm right in front of you Joe."
"Ken?"
"Present!"
"Sora?"
"Here."
"Mimi?"
"Is this really necessary?"
"Izzi?"
"About four feet nearby."
"Matt."
"Absent."
"Tai?"
Tai sighed. "We're all here, Joe!" He grabbed the teenager by the neck and messed up his hair, causing the older boy to squawk. "Now let's go!"
After Matt drove up in his dad's van, borrowed for the occasion, everyone pitched in on helping load the van and soon, they were on their way to the camping site.
On the highway, Mimi smiled as she thought of an idea.
"Let's have a sing-a-long!" she suggested.
On the passenger seat, Tai shrugged. "Sure. What do you guys want to sing?"
"It better not be 'Let It Go' from Frozen or else I'm going to hurl." moaned Cody from the backseat.
Kari turned from her seat. "But that's a good song!"
"Nope, not for me!"
"Ditto on that Cody." Ken replied.
Yolei tapped on her chin. "How about...'Wheels on a Bus'?"
Davis groaned.
"WHAT?! I DON'T HEAR YOU SUGGESTING ANYTHING!" Yolei snapped.
Sora sighed. "Is 'Wheels on the Bus' okay with everyone?"
Izzy shrugged. "Sure. Who's going to start?"
Silence filled the van.
"You do it, Mimi."
Mimi glared at Tk. "Why me?"
"You suggested it!"
"You sing, Joe!"
"No!"
"Ken?"
"Sorry, I sing like a Frogmon."
On the driver's seat, Matt's eyebrow twitched as everyone began to yell at each other.
He growled as his fingers clenched the wheel. "OH SHUT UP! I'LL START!" he barked.
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
round and round,
round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
all through the town.
"Now was that hard?"
Nova Kurata's apartment ~March 13th 8:56 a.m.~
14 year old Nova Kurata sighed. A few moments ago, he had just seen his cousin Davis leave with his friends. To some sort of camping site, he said.
Oh well. Nova was invited by Davis to go with them, but he politely refused the invite.
"Thanks Davis." He had said earlier. "But I'll be kinda busy today."
Nova walked away from the window and collapsed backwards on his bed. He grabbed a pair of headphones and music filled his ears.
Nova had black shaggy hair, which sometimes covered his large dark blue eyes. He had light tanned skin and wore a white T-shirt with a black symbol. Dark blue jeans and black socks completed the teen's current look.
A few minutes passed and Nova took that time to close his eyes. His bedroom door suddenly opened and his father, Akihiro Kurata, entered.
"Hey son." wheezed Akihiro and sneezed.
Nova immediately took off his headphones and sat up. "What's up, Dad?"
Akihiro blew his runny nose and he held out his hand towards him, letting money fall on Nova's hand. "Can you do me a favor and run down to the pharmacy? I think my medicine should be ready to be picked up."
Nova nodded and sat on his bed, putting on his black and white sneakers as his father walked over and sat next to him.
"What do you want for lunch, Nova?"
"How about pas-" Nova thought about it, then shook his head. "No, I'll make lunch today Dad."
Akihiro blew his nose again. "Son, I'll do it."
"No Dad, you're too sick. I'll pick up the medicine really quick and I'll make lunch when I get back." Nova stood up and grabbed his black jacket from the back of a chair. "You just stay put."
Akihiro smiled to himself when Nova left. "What a good kid.." He sneezed loudly and when he rose up his face, he noticed his wife's eyes looking back at him.
On the wall, was a picture of Kazumi Kurata, Akihiro's deceased wife and Nova's mother.
Akihiro picked up the picture and felt his eyes fill. "Kazumi..."
I miss you so much...we both do...
Matt's van ~March 13th 1:38 p.m. ~
Tai yawned loudly as he tried not to fall asleep.
In the back, almost everyone was snoring softly.
Well, except for Davis and Joe, who both snored obnoxiously loud.
Him and Kari both woke up very early to prepare the food and Matt, along with Tk, had come over to help preparing the camping supplies.
He didn't blame them for resting their eyes though, the camping site was far from Odaiba, almost eight hours away.
Sipping from a mug, Matt looked towards Tai. He placed his coffee down and the blonde smiled. "Tired?"
"Nah."
"Oh really? You can sleep if you want."
Tai shook his head. "No, it's okay. But thanks pal."
Matt chuckled. "Man! Joe's snoring sounds like a chainsaw or something. Who's the other one snoring with him? Davis?"
Tai laughed. "Yep." He turned around in his seat and smiled when he noticed Joe's glasses threatening to fall off his nose and into his wide open mouth. Davis sat on the very back, his face on the window and his mouth matching Joe's.
"Hey Matt? Davis is making a masterpiece on the window."
"With what?!"
"His saliva."
Matt's fingers clenched the steering wheel once again. "Davis better pray he can wash that off!" he growled.
Tai sneered playfully at his friend and looked back, this time at his crush.
Sora had her head resting on the window and Tai frowned when the van suddenly shook a bit violently, causing her head to knock on the glass.
"Damn, Matt! Can't you drive a little bit less rough?"
"Not my fault, Tai! These roads are stupid."
Brown eyes scanned the van and located a blanket folded nearby Mimi's and Cody's feet.
Grabbing it, Tai then took off his seat belt and tenderly lifted up Sora's head and placed the blanket between her head and the glass.
Matt grinned as he watched from the rear-view mirror, making Tai blush.
"What."
"No, nothing..."
Tai sat back on his seat and sighed. "Go ahead, Matt. Say it."
Matt patted him on the back. "No offense, Tai. But I think you're waiting too long to ask out you-know-who."
"W-Well, I'm waiting for the right moment!"
"Uh huh. Listen Tai. You've been crushing on ahem since the Digital World! You ain't gonna find another girl like her anywhere else so I suggest to get you head out of the clouds and just ask her out! She's an awesome girl, and I'm pretty sure she won't hate you if you ask her. Tai...Tai...are you listening?"
"Pull over for a bit."
Matt rose up an eyebrow. "What, why?"
Tai tore his stare from the window and looked at his friend. "Just do it."
Seeing his friend so serious like that made Matt a little worried, but he obeyed and pulled over to the side of the road.
When the van stopped, Tai wasted no time in opening the door and getting out. Matt got out as well.
"Tai?"
The brunette stopped walking. In front of him was an area completely empty, except for miles and miles of tall grass. "I thought I..."
Matt's eyes widened when he suddenly saw a blurry image of an old friend in a distance.
"G-Gennai?!"
Tai began to run towards the figure, Matt not far behind. "GENNAI! GENNAI!"
In the van, Ken opened his eyes to see out the window, the two older boys run towards the plain. "Huh?"
His voice woke up Yolei, who had her head on his shoulder. "What is it, Ken?" she asked groggily.
One by one, everyone in the van woke up.
"Why'd we stop?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Where's my brother?"
"OW MY FOOT'S ASLEEP, GOD DAMMIT!"
"Why is my face sticky?"
"Why was your head on my legs?"
"What's that on the window?"
Izzi opened up the van door and stepped out. "Look, there they are!" he announced as he pointed towards the running boys.
Kari bit her lip in worry. "Tai?!" She began to run towards her brother.
"Hey, what about our stuff?" yelled Joe as he was left behind.
"Come on, Joe!" answered Tk.
Joe hesitated but followed.
~x~x~x~
Tai and Matt collapsed on the grass, taking huge gasps of air. They have been positive they saw their friend Gennai.
Gennai was a guide to Tai and the others at the Digital World. Taking the shape of an old man, he claimed to be data, but without the same attributes as Digimon. To see Gennai here in the Real World meant either Tai and Matt were seeing things or that the Digital World was in some sort of danger.
"Tai!"
"Matt!"
Both boys turned their heads to see the entire gang run towards them.
"What happened?" asked Mimi.
"We thought we saw...Gennai"
Everyone gasped.
"Gennai?" Ken exclaimed. "Why the heck would Gennai be here?"
"Are you sure it was him?" Sora said to Tai.
Tai looked at her. "Would I lie to you, Sora?" He looked away towards where he saw Gennai last. "It was him. I know it."
Cody frowned. "Well, there must be a reason why you two saw him."
Tk shared glances with Kari. "Do you think it was a call for help?"
"Maybe..."
A moment of silence filled the group.
"I say we get going." Matt said after a while. "We can keep an eye out for Gennai."
Tai nodded. "Yeah, let's go."
Davis stood silently as the others began to walk back. Why in the world was Gennai's image here?
"Davis!"
Davis turned and saw Cody waving him over. The others were already boarding Matt's van.
"Come on, let's go!"
"Coming!" Davis hollered back. He look once again towards the tall dead grass. But something made him freeze.
"V-Veemon?"
His Digimon partner, Veemon was standing right in front of him, a few meters away. Or so Davis thought.
Tai turned when he heard a shout.
"VEEMON!"
Tai ran towards Cody, who stood confused as he watched Davis run away. "Cody! What's going on?"
Davis tried to catch up with his blue friend, but Veemon seemed to just avoid him.
"Vee-gahh!"
Izzy gasped when he watched from afar as Davis suddenly fell.
"Davis!" yelled Ken and everyone ran again towards him.
Davis groaned as he struggled to hold on to the edge of a large hole in the ground. He looked down and noticed himself dangling above nothing. "Help! Someone help me!"
Tai threw himself on his knees and held on to Davis' arm. "Hang on, buddy! I got you!"
Another arm held on to Davis' other and Tai looked to the side to see Sora struggle to hold her friend. She looked at him, gritting her teeth. "On three! One, two, THREE!"
With a groan, Tai and Sora worked together to lift up Davis from the hole.
Not one of them noticed the cracks forming beneath them.
Davis gasped for breath. "Thanks Tai...Sora." He placed his hand on his chest to calm himself.
"And what were you doing, dim-wit?" asked Matt.
Davis looked at them. "I was-"
CRRRRAACCKKKK!
The cracks widened and in terror, the Digidestined tried to escape the widening hole, but all of them fell into a pit of nothingness.
Nova's apartment ~2:15 p.m.~
Sitting on his bed, stomach satisfied, Nova sighed.
I'm bored...maybe I should have accepted Davis' invitation. Then again, I wouldn't talk to anyone and I don't want to appear rude.
He could do something with his dad. But he was sick and sleeping as we now speak. Nova didn't want to bother him.
A smile suddenly appeared on his face. But there was someone he could always hang out with.
Nova stood up and headed towards his laptop, which sat upon a desk.
Impmon was his partner Digimon, whom Nova could always trust with anything. They have spent great times together, from helping Davis from time to time with Digimon in the Human World (long time ago) to hiding him and his Digimon, Veemon, from his insane sister Jun.
Davis showed Nova in the past how to open up a portal to the Digital World so Impmon could come visit. And that's what Nova did now.
He held out his Digvice and and a window opened on his screen. "Digiport, open!"
But instead of his friend Impmon appearing, a extremely bright light blinded his eyes and Nova thought he felt himself floating before finding himself falling down a bottomless hole.
