Also, shout out to CatLoverx33, again, & Digidesined! Thank you for your guys' constant support :)
"Takato. Wake up, Takato."
Takato could swear he heard his mother's voice, but how. He slowly opened his eyes.
"Mom?"
When his eyes came into focus, there was no mistaking it was his mother. She was sitting beside him on the edge of his bed, smiling down at her son, her dark brown hair brushed over her right shoulder; wearing a black tank top and dark blue jeans. She ran her hand through Takato's soft hair.
"Hey, little miracle."
Takato's light brown eyes lite up and he sat up, excited.
"Mom, I'm so glad you're here! I missed you, and dad! Is he here too? I'm a Digidestined now, just like dad! I never thought it would actually happen, but I guess when you wish hard enough!" Takato laughed happily. "You have to come meet me friends, even Raiden is here! Don't worry, I've been looking after him. Oh, and you have to meet my Digimon partner! His name is Dobermon and he's really cool..well, I think it's a he...he hasn't really talked to me yet. Maybe his voice box got destroyed in a battle before getting to me." He started to ponder.
"You are a very brave boy, Takato. But you are not safe here." Max eyes were filled with concern, yet had a hardness to them.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Takato looked at his mother confused.
"There are digimon here who are going to try to harm you, son. You must find a way and return home." His mother's words were firm, which took him back a bit.
"Harm me? Why would they want to do that? Isn't that part of being a Digidestined, anyways? I put myself in harms way to protect this world, and ours. I'll be okay, I promise, mom. My partner Dobermon destroyed that last guy, and I know he'll be able to stop the others!" Takato looked at his mother determind now, a smile on his face.
Max's face seemed to lighten a bit, and a small smile came upon her face. She placed her hand on his knee.
"You're special, Takatomon."
Takato's eyes started to tremble, as tears started to form. Takatomon was a nickname Max use to call him when he was younger. She knew how obsessed he was with Digimon, so the name seemed to fit him perfectly. There was no harm in letting a boy have dreams.
As Takato had grown older, he seemed to grow a little distant from his mother, and becoming more attached to his father, wanting to become a Digidestined, who better to get tips from than him? Takato felt a grip of guilt envelope his heart.
"I love you, mommy." He swung his arms around his mother, tears rolling down his cheeks.
Max smiled, rubbing her son's back. "Your time is coming, Takatomon."
"What?" But as Takato released his mother, she had vanished. "Mom?" He looked around the room.
Takato moaned uneasily in his sleep, then finally managed to get his eyes to open. He sat up slowly, looking around. 'So, it was just a dream...'
"Soon I will have him, and then no one will be able to stop me!" A dark figure, who was hiding among the darkness and trees, smiled devilishly looking upon the mud cottage. "I will become to most powerful man alive and I will rule the Digital World, and the Human World!" He snickered darkly.
As the sun started to rise, a pair of green and white sneakers stepped out onto the grass.
Raiden groaned as rays of sunshine bothered his eyes. His eyelids open and his bright blue eyes started to focus. He seen a figure standing outside the mud cottage. He rubbed his eyes, pushing himself up on his elbows. He then grinned widely. He jumped up to his feet, startling Dorimon, who had been passed out, making him to jump with a yelp. The noise made everyone else awaken.
"Takato!" Raiden yelled, running full speed up to his older cousin.
Takato smiled, kneeling down, and catching Raiden in a tight hug. "Hey, buddy. Miss me?"
Raiden nodded, then whispered in Takato's ear. "These other kids are weird."
Takato laughed, squeezing Raiden before releasing him, and standing back up. Dorimon walked up next to Raiden, looking up at Takato.
"I just want you to know. I didn't try to bite you." Dorimon smiled with his eyes, making Takato chuckle.
"Well, thanks, Dorimon. That means a lot to me." Takato responded, then looked up, noticing the others walking towards him.
"About time you woke up, sleeping beauty." Kimi's sarcastic tone made Takato smile.
"Good morning to you too, Kimi." The girl gave him a smirk, folding her arms. Biyomon right by her side with a smile.
"How are you feeling, Takato?" The boy looked over at Emiko now, who's eyes seemed to be shining with great happiness at his presence.
He grinned. "I feel awesome, Emi. 100% back to myself again."
She nodded. "Good! Never do that to us again, okay?"
Takato chuckled. "Well, I can't promise anything, but I'll try not to."
"Try harder this time, okay?" Kudamon chimed in, climbing up onto Emiko's shoulders.
Takato nodded, then looked over at Ryo, Cyberdramon standing right behind him. "Thanks for saving my life.."
"Ryo." Ryo finally was able to introduce himself to the other brunette. "And don't thank me. You should be thanking your partner. You would've been finished without him."
Takato looked around. "Where is..Dobermon?"
Everyone looked around.
"Huh. That's weird. I know he went to sleep with us, last night." Kimi commented.
"Did you see him go anywhere, Raiden?" Emiko asked the youngest member, recalling seeing him snuggle up with the beast last night.
Raiden shook his head. "Nope. I'm sorry."
Ryo then smirked, the others soon seeing what he did and smiling. Takato looked at them confused.
"What are you guys looking at?" He then stiffened as he felt a puff of hot air against his neck. He slowly turned around, but his body soon relaxed. He smiled.
"Hi, boy." He went to pet Dobermon on the muzzle, but the digimon stepped back, placing something on the ground. Takato looked down, then smiled. He picked up his goggles off the ground, and placed them on his head. "Thanks, Dobermon." He then hugged his partner.
The goggle-head then faced his group with new determination on his face.
"Now, who's ready to get our adventure back on track?!"
Yay, Takato is back :D & with everyone having their partner now, this should be a piece of cake. But, was Takato's dream just a dream, or a warning? And who's this random guy who keeps showing up? I guess you'll have to come back to find out in another chapter of,
Digimon: Digital Aftermath!
