Author's Note: Sorry if this chapter sounds lame, but this chapter... "explains" some things, and kind of tells of what is going to happen in the future chapters to come. I promise the next chapter will be more "suspenful" (and hopefully exciting), so please don't give up on me!

Chapter Two:

His Soul

As I said before: it has only been four months for the girl in her own world, but four years for our Matt and his digidestined friends. After the year when the younger digidestined children have defeated MaloMyotismon, not much has changed about them -- well, maybe some things have... T.K. and Kari have a stronger fondness for each other; their feelings starting to become more than just friends. Mimi is still in America with her family, but now Yolei is vacationing with her. Cody... well... not much to say about him since he has moved away from his friends. He visits them, but not much these days. Izzy has become more addicted to his computer and its technology, that he too, doesn't spend to much time with his friends. Davis just enjoys being outside most of the time, but still gawks at Kari every now and then. Sometimes he would cry in his mind about the relationship between T.K. and Kari. Joe has moved to a more technical school to 'hone' in on his doctor skills a little more. He's becoming less queasy over blood and such things of the similar matter. Ken is mostly the quiet one, and he mostly just stays at home and helps out his mother with things. He sees his friends everyday, but not that long. Tai and Sora are now dating, and they are very happy that they have strong feelings for each other.

As for Matt? Well... he is still doing his music with his band, and he even dated Sora one time. When they dated though, they knew their feelings were not a great as Tai and Sora's put together. Matt only dated her for a couple weeks. Four years has been a long time... long enough to forget about... that one girl. The one girl Matt liked so much when he started to get to know her better. In those four years Matt has dated many girls -- including Sora, but... none of them were just right for him. All those girls were either just gawking at his looks or brag on about himself or their selves. Matt wanted a girl that would like him... for just being himself. Who would know that finding the right girl would be so hard? Well... there is a girl who likes Matt for the way he is... too bad... there would be someone else wanting her love also...

Today, on a rather bright and sunny day, Matt and some of his friends were hanging out in Izzy's bedroom, for Gennai has called them for an emergency situation regarding one of their old enemies... Unfortunately, not all the digidestined children have shown up. Of course there's Izzy -- since it is his bedroom that the message has come to, and there's, Matt, Tai, Sora, Ken, Davis, and -- oh wait, that's it! Sorry to say that the others had too much of other things to do, that they didn't notice an emergency situation has come up! Then again... maybe they'll show up later... someway or another, but I'm sure they'll show up when their friends need them the most.

"So... what the heck does Gennai want anyways?" Complained Davis as he sat on Izzy's bed, along with Tai and Sora. Matt just leaned against the wall as he starred onto Izzy's computer screen. Ken just silently leaned himself against a wall, opposite from where Matt was.

Izzy cleared his throat and never took his eyes off the screen as he answered back, "I'm not sure, but... Gennai says that it is really important for most of us to be here right now..."

Davis looked around the room and threw his arms up in exaggeration, "Great job on that! We're still missing allot of our digi-crew! Well... they would be here, if some of them didn't want to go on dates... and if some didn't move away or suddenly go on vacations..."

Sora giggled softly and patted Tai on the shoulder, "Davis is beginning to sound like you, when you were younger..." Tai frowned at Sora, but suddenly formed a small smile on his face. He thought Sora looked so pretty in her plaid skirt and a lavender blouse... so lucky was he to have a girlfriend as pretty as her. Matt grunted quietly as he saw the look she and Tai were giving each other. He was jealous, of course, but he wished he could have the same companionship with another girl.

"So... when is Gennai going to come and tell us what's going on?" Asked Ken quietly to everyone in the room. He crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes slightly towards Izzy.

Izzy gestured his hands at everyone to calm down. "Just hold on you guys. Gennai said that he would be here shortly, even though... I have no idea just how he's going to get here..." Suddenly, Izzy's computer screen started sparking, and all the electrical things that were running started to go on and off. With all the odd commotion going about, the young Jedi -- erm, Gennai, stepped out from the computer screen and onto the floor of Izzy's bedroom. Izzy smiled in relief, "Good timing, Gennai..."

Gennai quickly smiled at Izzy, but turned right back to a serious expression as he looked at the other children. The rest of the digidestined starred at Gennai with anxiety rushing through them. "Children -- and I really wish the rest of you were here, but time is short right now to contact them all..." The children were leaning in closer to Gennai and hoping he would get right to the point. "There's no easy way to say this, but... Myotismon... he is still alive..."

Few of the children gasped while most of them just wide-eyed the young Gennai. Alive, but how can that be? He died as VenomMyotismon and now MaloMyotismon. How can that evil vampire lord still be alive after all that? "Just how can MaloMyotismon still be alive? We-we killed him over a year ago!" Complained Davis, and he crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. "Just how is that dude living?"

Gennai sighed softly and slowly shook his head, "Children... it is somewhat of a long story, but... I must tell you in order for you to understand..." The children grew quiet, and a few of them blinked at the young man. "Four years ago... you met a girl with tremendous power inside her, and Myotismon married her for that. Do any of you remember this girl?"

"No..." replied Davis grumpily, "I wasn't a digidestined four years ago."

Gennai frowned at Davis, but starred around at the other children, "Do not any of you remember that girl: Kyle?"

Matt's eyes grew very wide when he heard that name. Kyle... he was starting to remember her. Four years ago seems so long for our Matt when he last saw her. He wondered if she still remembers him... or, if she had a young man of her own to love and care for. "I... remember Kyle..." said Matt softly, and he nodded slowly to Gennai, "I remember her."

Gennai never changed his expression as he continued to speak to the children, "That power has been inside that girl Kyle for so many years, that... the power has merged with her very soul... and the same has happened with Myotismon... That is how he has been able to live..."

"But..." Izzy began, "I thought when that girl died -- once, that the power would go back inside her, not Myotismon..."

Gennai shook his head, "The power had already merged with Myotismon's cruel soul, that it didn't matter what happened to that girl... now Myotismon is stronger than he once was, but he won't stop there until he has all of his power back inside him..."

Matt started to look angry, "Is he going to try and marry Kyle again?"

Gennai shook his head once more, "He never died, Matt. He has always been living... he is still married to her, and the poor girl doesn't know it..."

"Well... is she back here in Japan? Is Myotismon even here?" Asked Sora, and her voice was full of worriment.

"No... not this time. Myotismon is now on her world, along with his dark army, who the vampire lord is using to begin his reign on her planet..."

Tai, Sora, and Davis immediately hopped off the bed. Davis put on a bold expression as he said, "Than what are we waiting for? Let's go to this world and stop Myotismon -- again..." The children just frowned at Davis and stood there silently.

Matt scratched his head and looked nervously at Gennai, "You mean... we have to go to this world now? Don't you think we should contact the rest of our friends so they can help us out with Myotismon?"

"I will contact the rest of the digidestined, but right now I need you children to go to this world and find the girl before Myotismon does. If he finds her, than he will most likely get his powers back. The powers that made him once invincible to everyone. We cannot let this happen..."

Tai looked around himself and frowned at Gennai slightly, "Yeah -- you know, it would be nice if our digimon came along for the ride. Just in case we run into any bad digimon..." He smirked and closed his eyes for a moment.

Gennai smirked back at Tai, "Don't worry, your digimon will accompany you when you get to that other world. Now..." the young man clapped his hands, and a door appeared right beside him. The children's eyes grew wide at this sudden surprise. "This door... will bring you around the location to where that girl is at. It is not exact, so you will need to scout around for her. Sorry, but... Myotismon's power is strong, and he knows you children will come and get her. Be on your guard; that vampire will be more cunning and cruel than before..." The children nodded and approached the odd looking door slowly. Tai slowly turned the door knob, took a deep breath and fully opened it. "Remember children: find that girl before Myotismon does!" The children went through the door, and all went dark for them.

"Will... Kyle remember me?" Matt thought to himself, "I... hope so... I really want, to see her again..."

"She is not at her father's house... and I can sense her power near... here... this... mall..." Myotismon was about a few feet from the place of where he sensed the girl would be. A mall that was about fifteen minutes away from where her father lives. The vampire lord himself, Phantomon, and a few other recruits, were hiding out in the darkest shadows of trees as to not attract attention from the people and cars that were bustling by. The mall at which they were about to enter... was huge! Myotismon wondered if he would be able to find his love in such a place... but than again... he started to grin evilly inside. He could sense his power inside that girl -- yes. No matter where she ran too, he could find her easily again. All he would need to do is feel that power inside her soul. His soul -- as Myotismon would find out soon enough, is not different from that girl's...

Phantomon starred at Myotismon from head to toe and said cautiously, "Lord Myotismon, if you do go inside there to find that girl, than may I suggest a disguise than..." Myotismon eyed the phantom digimon oddly. This made Phantomon more nervous. "It would only be temporary, my Lord, just until you find her. If you wish to not cause a commotion right away, than all I'm saying -- " Myotismon grunted angrily at him. Phantomon quickly closed his mouth and stayed silent.

Myotismon scratched his chin lightly and a smile was forming at the corner of his mouth. "Yes... a disguise would suit me if I am to search for that girl... I will go in that place and look for her, while the rest of you can start a fog barrier around this American state..." Myotismon turned around to face his two new recruits. He glared at them somewhat angrily, "You two will start the fog barrier while Phantomon and I search for that girl. Arukenimon, and Mummymon... you better not fail me..."

Arukenimon and Mummymon -- not in their human disguises, of course, they nodded to each other quickly and starred back at Myotismon. "We will not fail you, Master. We'll carry out your plan and report back to you when we have succeeded..." Said Arukenimon in a scratchy voice, and she clapped her large claws together and rubbed them as if she was thinking of a cunning plan.

Myotismon snorted softly and said, "It better... I didn't resurrect you two for nothing... "

Arukenimon and Mummymon squealed in fright quietly, but they quickly disappeared within the blink of an eye. Myotismon crossed his arms and smiled once more as he starred back at the large mall from him. He remembers when he rid of Arukenimon and Mummymon as MaloMyotismon with his powers, but with their resurrection, he erased their minds of that time, and now, they are oblivious as to what happened then. Myotismon wanted it that way.

Phantomon fidgeted with his chain and asked, "What shall I do in the meantime, my Lord?"

"You will stay hidden in the shadows outside this 'mall,' while I will go inside and find the girl... she is in there, Phantomon... I can feel her presence -- her power inside her soul..."

Phantomon bowed and flown swiftly to the sky as to not attract unwanted attention from the people below. Myotismon snapped his fingers, and his whole wardrobe changed, from a one-piece blue suit, to a casual looking outfit that made him look just as handsome as before. He was now wearing a dark, turtle neck sweater with black jeans and boots that made him look somewhat of a wealthy person -- erm, vampire. He also wore a long, black coat that flowed just like his cape. He smiled at himself at just how dashing and beautiful he looked. Before Myotismon walked to the mall, he quickly took off his crimson, red mask and put it in his coat pocket. After all, people would stare and mutter to themselves if they saw a man wearing a mask like that... "You're in there somewhere, my dear... and I will find you no matter what..." Than he began to walk to this mall, taking long steps to make the journey quicker, even though... he wasn't that far from the place at all.

As Myotismon got closer to the mall, it appeared to be much larger than before. His forehead was lingering with beads of sweat again. He hoped he would find his love in such a place... When he got closer to mall, and even closer... and closer... he pushed open the glass doors roughly to get inside, and his eyes grew wide. His mouth was slightly a gap at how confusing the place looked from the inside. This place... if I had only one word to describe this mall, than it would be: labyrinth. Yes, a labyrinth, for there were at least four or even five floors of stores on narrow walkways, escalators and glass elevators here and there... and the people. There were so many people walking too and fro by Myotismon, that the vampire couldn't sense the girl he was looking. There were just too many people walking around for him to sense her. He knew she was here though... now... he just has to start looking for her. She couldn't be that hard to find, after all. She was usually dressed in her male outfits -- easy to spot for someone such as Myotismon... right?

Myotismon sighed deeply and began to walk around the mall. There were also many stores in this place. He hoped that the girl wasn't in one of them, for it made it harder to spot her if she happened to go inside them. He bit his lip, for he was slightly nervous, there were just too many people going by him -- just so many, and so many in fact that he knocked some of them over. Like... a woman in a beautiful black dress, a couple of teenage boys that were hanging out by a gothic looking store, and even a male in a pinstripe looking suit! "Out of my way..." grumbled the vampire under his breath, "I do not care for males..."

If only... if only he would of turned around. If he even would of slowed down as he walked by, but... that male in the pinstripe suit -- well, let's just say that it wasn't a male... it was... her.
