The tamers had arrived in the Digital World of the Adventure Universe. However they were all split up. With only their digimon partners they would have to survive the dangers of this new world, find their friends Ryo and Rika, and get back home before Hypnos gets ordered to close the portal. Meanwhile the digidestined were getting ready for nightfall and their confrontation with the new Digimon Emperor.
"All right you guys. We've been watching the Digimon Emperor's attacks and have decided that this is where he's going to attack. We have to remain vigilant if we want to get him. Remember that this is the only way to find Ken innocent." Izzy told them as they started to set up their campsite. Everyone nodded and then Mimi raised her hand to ask a question.
"I know that we're all supposed to stay awake but could I just get a few hours of sleep? I look terrible in the morning if I don't get enough sleep." Mimi said hoping they would let her sleep.
"Go ahead and sleep Mimi. I can take care of your area and mine." Joe told her. She hugged him and then went into the tent.
"You can sleep to if you want Sora. I'd be fine with watching your area." Matt told Sora concerned about her. Sora looked at Matt and frowned.
"I'm fine Matt. You don't need to worry about me. I'm able to take care of myself and don't need your help." Sora said angrily.
"Fine I was just looking out for my girlfriend. It's not like I'm supposed to care about you or anything." Matt responded. He then left the campsite and Tai walked over to Sora.
"What was that all about? Are you and Matt having problems?" Tai asked Sora worried about his friends.
Sora lifted her head slightly to see Tai. "Yes. No. I don't know. Matt has been really overprotective of me lately. It's nice but I wish he would stop. I've been a digidestined just as long as he has, we've both been though some dangerous things. It's not that I don't appreciate him being worried its just I don't want him to think that I can't do anything by myself." Sora told Tai. She then kept looking down thinking about her and Matt.
Tai lifted Sora's chin so that their eyes met. "Don't worry about it Sora. I'm sure that Matt is just trying to keep you safe. He'll learn that you don't need it though. Your a tough girl and you can be kind of stubborn at times. Things will work out for you two I'm sure of it." Tai told her. Sora gave Tai a hug and then went off to find where Matt left. Tai felt very conflicted. On one hand he used to have feelings for Sora, and perhaps somewhere deep down he still does, but on the other hand he wanted both Matt and Sora to he happy. He then got back to unpacking their supplies.
Meanwhile on the other side of the digital world the tamers were trying to find each other. Henry in particular wanted to find Suzie. He was sure Lopmon could protect her since she was once a Deva and could become an ultimate level digimon if necessary.
"Henry I'm getting tired can we rest already?" Terriermon asked him desperately wanting to rest.
"How about I carry you for a while. We cant rest. We only have a week to find Rika and Ryo. Not to mention the rest of our friends. I'm starting to think it was a bad idea to have all of us come. All though it's night and we haven't been here that long. Perhaps this world and ours run on different time intervals, or the portal creates a time dilation effect. The point is we may have more than a week depending on how much time is separated by." Henry told Terriermon. Terriermon however stopped paying attention to Henry after Henry started theorizing on the time difference.
"Hey Henry ignoring all your sciencey talk I think I see Takato and Guilmon over there." Teriermon said. Henry looked over and sure enough there they were. Henry ran over to where they were.
"Henry. Finally I thought it would take forever before we found somebody. I think Yamaki's device is broken. It says that it hasn't even been an hour but it's already night." Takato told Henry.
"I don't think so. It hasn't felt that long. I have a theory that the portal created a time dilation effect which makes time pass differently between the worlds. We have more time than we thought." Henry told Takato informing him of his theory.
"That's great. Come on lets see if we can't find anybody else." Takato said. As they were about to leave however they heard an explosion.
"That sounded close by. We had better go an check it out. We should probably digivolve Terriermon and Guilmon just in case." Henry told Takato. He nodded and they both got their D-Tectors ready.
Digimodify! Digivolution Activate!
Terriermon digivolve to... Gargomon!
Guilmon digivolve to... Growlmon!
Henry and Takato then ran off with their digimon. What they didn't know was that the explosion would lead them to their next big adventure. It came form the digidestined's campsite and was caused by the Digimon Emperor.
"Hello children. It's been a while since we last saw each other. I'm quite surprised that you are here. The digital world is a dangerous place at night." They all looked up and saw the Digimon Emperor with a Tyrannomon. He looked exactly as he did all those years ago. He looked like Ken Ichijouji.
"Ken why are you doing this. I thought you were one of us." TK said angrily.
"You think I'm Ken. Well your half right. You remember that Ken had the original Dark Spore. Well I'm the darkness inside that Dark Spore manifested as the Digimon Emperor. Think of me as a split personality. I'm only strong enough to take over Ken when he's sleeping. His parents even think he's sleepwalking. Soon enough though I'll be strong enough to have complete control. Then young Ichijouji will be nothing more than a memory." The Digimon Emperor told them laughing maniacally. The digidestined were shocked and couldn't believe what he was telling them.
"That's impossible. We destroyed MaloMyotismon so the Dark Spore shouldn't have any power over Ken." Cody said unable to believe what he had just told them.
The Digimon Emperor laughed at this. "You fools honestly think that MaloMyotismon was the creator of the Dark Spores. He was merely using it's power to increase his own strength. The true creator of the Dark Spores is a Digimon far more powerful than you've ever met, but don't worry you won't be around long enough to worry about him. Tyrannomon destroy them now." The Digimon Emperor commanded. There was a Control Spire in the area so the only thing the kids could do was Armor Digivolve, but none of them had their D-Terminal with them. They were about to be blasted when the Tyrannomon was attacked by a green blast. The digidestined looked over and saw a Gargomon.
"Willis must be in the Digital World. Man we sure are lucky." Kari said as they got saved. They then looked over and saw that is wasn't Willis but some other boy with the Gargomon. Soon enough another boy with what looked like a red Greymon arrived to help out.
"Girr. I should have checked to see if there was anybody else before destroying you. Your lucky I'm still not in full control or you'd all be gone. Speaking of which I hope you bid farewell to your friend Ken Ichijouji because soon enough he'll be gone and only I the Digimon Emperor will be left." The Digimon Emperor laughed maniacally before leaving on the Tyrannomon.
"Thanks you guys. Whoever you are." Yolei said to them as the Digimon Emperor had left. Takato then looked to see the digidestined and immediately recognized them from his favorite television show.
"Henry its them. The kids from the tv show. I can't belive were really meeting them." Takato said overjoyed at their discovery.
"Why do you two keep stating at us before, and how come we've never seen you around before?" Davis asked them getting tired of them just staring.
"Were sorry it's just you guys aren't supposed to exist. Your just characters from a television show. It's weird seing you in person." Henry said trying to calmly explain to them what was happening.
"The Digimon Emperor won't be coming back. I think you two should tell us about yourselves though. I find it hard to belive what your saying." Tai told them trying to stay rational about everything.
Takato and Henry sat down to have a talk with the Digidestined. Takato couldn't help but worry how his friends were. Off in the distance, Jeri was trying her strongest to survive.
"This was a really bad idea Calumon. I don't know why we decide to come. Were just making the others worry about us." Jeri said sadly. Since she and Calumon had arrived they were nearly attacked three times. Jeri was starting to get depressed about not being able to help out her friends.
"Come on Jeri don't be sad. You know I don't like it when your sad. I'm sure that soon enough Takato will find us and we can all play together again." Calumon said trying to cheer up Jeri. They kept on waking until they were nearly hit by a Kuwagamon. Jeri grabbed Calumon and started running. She then made it to the end of a clif where she ran out of room to run. She was scared and was about to fall of the cliff when a mysterious figure attacked the Kuwagamon and knocked him off the cliff.
"That was close. That's for saving us Mister. If it wasn't for you then that huge bug would have gotten us, or we would have fallen off of the cliff and that would have been very scary." Calumon said overjoyed that they had survived.
"It was nothing. When I see an innocent being in danger I feel it is my duty to helps them. The Digital World is not a safe place for a young girl and a small digimon. If you need shelter follow me." The digimon that save them said. Jeri followed him, however she was in a daze because the digimon that saved her was somebody she never thought she would see again.
A/N: Really glad I got this up when I did. I'm pretty sure it's obvious who saved Jeri and Calumon. Also if you've played the Wonderswan games that's good because soon I'll start referring to the events of those. They were never released outside of Japan, but a quick google search or trip to Wikipedia will give you all the information you need. Thanks to everybody who favorited and followed the story. All though it would be nice to get more reviews. I have 4 chapters including this one, 3 favorites, and 4 followers as well as 500 total views, yet I still only have one review from a guest. I won't say I'll update if you review because i tried that once and didn't really like it. Although it did work. So please take a short moment to review if you can. Anyway hope you guys enjoyed and I'll hopefully update in a little under two weeks.
