Chapter 4

From now on, I will refer to Jenrya as Jen, seeing it's a common nickname given to him in the Japanese version anyways. Also I'll be adding some new characters in. That is all, enjoy the fourth chapter 3

Beezlemon trekked through the sand until he got to a forest. Beezlemon entered the forest hoping to find a friend. After walking through an endless field of trees, he came to what he thought he would. A fox like Digimon that was yellow in color.

"Renamon, the kids might be coming back." Beezlemon said

"The kids?" Renamon asked, turning to him.

"Yeah, you know, Rika, Takato, the gang." He replied, sounding confident in himself

"How do you know this?" She asked, being the skeptic she was

Beezlemon told Renamon about the card slash that had healed his arm; however he left out his encounter with the female Digimon. He didn't need a reason for this Digimon not to trust her. After he finished explaining, Renamon stood up.

"This isn't a sign." She said "Maybe it's just your goofy tamers pulling cards through their digivice. There's no way to tell if they're actually coming."

"But I can feel it." Beezlemon said "My tamers are coming and I know it."

"You actually want them to come?" Renamon asked "They're only kids you know. They could get hurt."

"I'd protect them." Beelzemon said "And then we could find a way to go back to the real world together."

"Digimon don't belong in the real world, we were brought there because of the threat of the D-Reaper. Nothing more, nothing less." Renamon said "Sure we didn't only fight together; we made friends with each other. But destiny is destiny."

"Your right, I just really miss those kids." Beezlemon said "Ai and Makoto, they were my family…"

"I know same with Ruki." Renamon said "Why don't you stay with me for awhile? That way if our tamers come to find us like you say at least some of us will be gathered?"

"Sounds like a fine idea" Beezlemon says, taking a seat.

Janyu had called in sick that day for work, because he was still working on a way for the kids to come back from the digital world so they could go. He wasn't going to just send them out without a way to retrieve them, that would be reckless and stupid. His first thought of course was Goliath, but he knew restoring power to him would be hard, finding him would be even harder. Then he thought of something.

'Those Data streams the children talked about...' He thought 'Maybe I can use them!"

He beings typing away at his computer again, engulfed in his work.

Since it was a Saturday, the Twins weren't at home. Makoto was out with some friends while Ai was sitting in her bedroom, home alone, thinking.

She wasn't a very social girl, she never really was. She hated school in particular; everyone else was self-centered and childish. Even her brother, who she loved dearly, was a bit on the selfish side. But he made up for it in her eyes by being so brave and trustworthy. Then she thought about Jen's younger sister, Shuichon. She seemed nice, but was she a fake? It was impossible to tell, but she supposed she could trust her if she was Jen's younger sister. Jen was certainly a good person. There was something about Shuichon, some sort of connection she felt with her… It was impossible to tell.

Ai lay down in her bed, still deep in thought. She still didn't want to go to the digital world, but she had to, for her brother, for Impmon.

Makoto was in the park, playing the Digimon card game with two people he had met at his new school, Kazuki and Ryota. He figured he better make some friends at his new school, and Digimon loving freaks were a great start. Kazuki wore a long sleeved Megadeth shirt and bulky Dj headphones around his neck. He had on a pair of jeans with a chain hanging from them; he had light blue colored eyes and light brown/blondish hair. Ryota had a whole different demeanor to him. He had a bulky backpack on, a grey hoodie with a zipper on, a green t-shirt, and tan pants. He wore bulky glasses and had strawberry blonde/reddish hair. The biggest difference between the two was height. Kazuki was tall, taller than both him and Ryota. Ryota on the other hand was short. In fact he looked like he should be in a younger grade.

Makoto was currently being beaten by Ryota when his cell phone rang. He instantly took the excuse to walk away from the game and picked it up. It was Janyu.

"Hey, Makoto is that you?" Janyu asked

"Yeah," He replied "Anything that you need?"

"Well you guys are defiantly going soon; I just have to work out some minor details on this program to bring you home." He said, confident in his work

"Thanks, I'm out right now so I'll head home to tell my sister and we'll prepare." Makoto said, trying to sound as serious as possible.

"Great, I'll see you soon."

Makoto folded his cell phone away in his pocket. At last he was going to the digital world!

"Hey!" Kazuki yelled out "Where are you going? You still have to let me beat you."

"I have to go home, that was my dad." He lied

"Well then we're coming with." Kazuki said "You've got a sister right, is she older or younger?"

"Same age."

"Is she cute?"

"I'm not telling you if my sister's cute or not."

"Why not?"

"Because brothers aren't supposed to think their sisters are cute."

"Well we're still coming with, right Ryota?" Kazuki asked, turning to the red haired boy.

"Sure as long as that's ok with him." Ryota answered while gathering his cards into a cardholder.

"It's like Kazuki's going to give me any other choice." Makoto said looking over at him.

He gave Makoto his usual goofy smile and all three of them headed out to Makoto's home.

Ai woke up from her short nap and realized it was around the time her brother said he'd get home. She instantly got up and started to prepare a dinner for them when he came bursting through the door with two knuckleheads.

"Eh? You're home early." Ai asked.

"Ok so where's that sister of yours?" Kazuki asked "And your dad?"

"My dad's at work." Makoto asked "And that's my sister."

Kazuki's face instantly turned into an anime shock horror face as Makoto whisked Ai away into her bedroom. He needed to talk to her.

"What's all this about?" Ai asked "You always come home late, so I usually start late."

"Janyu called me while I was playing cards with these guys." Makoto said "As soon as they leave we need to pack and be ready to go at any minute."

"Alright, I trust Janyu." Ai said "But why them?"

"They insisted in coming to my house because I didn't get to play Kazuki yet."

"Which one's Kazuki?"

"The one with the headphones."

"Oh."

Makoto walked back out with his sister, she got back to making dinner, while Makoto talked with Ryota. He had a really calm nature unlike Kazuki, who was currently flirting with his sister. Unforgivable.

As soon as Ai finished dinner, Kazuki helped her bring it out onto the small coffee table. They all sat on the ground around the table cross-legged. Since Kazuki and Ryota weren't used to Ai's cooking, they instantly took a bite and fell in love, stuffing the rest in her face as fast as they could. Suddenly someone opened the door and entered their home.

"So you guys started without me." Ai and Makoto's Grandmother said

Ai quickly stood up, bowing to her Grandmother in respect

"There are leftovers on the stove; I didn't know you would be home so soon." She said

"Its fine, I'm tired, I'm going to bed." She said. "Send these friends of yours home as soon as you guys are done."

"Yes Grandmother." Makoto replied.

The Grandmother walked into the backroom and shut the door. Ai walked over to collect Kazuki and Ryota's plates and started on the dishes.

"So you live with your Grandmother and your Dad?" Ryota asked Makoto

"Yeah," He said "They're both always working so Ai does all the cooking and housework."

"And you do nothing?" Kazuki asked "Dude, you need to get off your feet and help her."

"He's offered." Ai said "I prefer to do all the housework myself."

"And there you have it." Makoto said "I would keep you two longer but my Grandmother said."

"We know we know." Kazuki said "Thanks for the invite." He said to Makoto, and then looking at Ai he added "I'll see you later."

"Be careful on your walk home." Ai said as they walked out.
