Chapter 2: New Outfits, New Enemy and Old Friends

The Chosen had just gotten on Worm and found that the ride was indeed rough. It was rougher than their first ride to the Digital World. Then again Worm was going pretty fast. The occupants of the train were shaken before they were even in the Digital World. Right now Shinya was bombarding Takuya with questions.

"Nii-san what the hell is going on? What's this Digital World the train told you about? Look at its teeth. Wait…why does the train have teeth?"

"Shinya, calm down. Ophanimon will explain when we get to Seraphimon's Castle."

"And who the hell is Ophanimon and where is this castle?"

"He's not going to calm down anytime soon, is he Taki?"

"Argh, not the nickname again. And Shinya, watch your mouth."

"Tell me how to do that when it's below my eyes."

"I'll tell Kaa-san about all the trouble you've been getting into unless you behave."

"Fine, I'll be quiet."

Shinya was not in a good mood right now. He was stuck on a train that talked taking him who-knows-where and his brother was on it. To the others in the compartment it was the only entertainment. Kouichi looked through the doors to see Taiya alone in the compartment behind them. She was pretty calm even though she had no idea where she was going. Kouichi debated at whether he should keep her company or not. He was snapped out of his thoughts when Kouji placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey Kouichi, how does she know you?" he asked.

"She's a friend from school. Out of the whole school I'm her only friend," Kouichi told him.

"Why are you her only friend?" Zoe questioned.

"She just moved from America, and is a bit like Kouji."

"What do you mean 'a bit like Kouji'?" JP asked.

"She doesn't trust quickly and is quiet," Kouichi replied. "She also is very independent."

"Sounds a bit like me also," Zoe said.

"Oi, people in the train get ready for the ride!" Worm called out. After that the original Chosen scrambled to grab something solid. The other three looked at them confused.

"Trust us, you want to hold onto something," Takuya said grabbing Shinya. Before the two could grab something, there was a jerk and they were traveling up. JP was able to grab Yamato and the twins grabbed Yutaka between them. Their Spirit form appeared around each of them.

"Now reaching the Digital World!"

"Reaching? This is reaching?" Shinya screamed. After the words were out of Shinya's mouth Worm went horizontal. "Forget I asked."

"Um…why are our clothes different?" Yutaka asked.

They all looked at each other and found that Yutaka was right; their clothes were different.

Zoe was wearing light purple jeans with pink butterflies, a pink shirt with the symbol for Wind in lavender on it, and a lavender jacket was tied around her waist. Her hat had disappeared and she had purple and pink gloves on that came halfway up her fingers. Around her neck was a gold necklace with five light purple stones and four dark pink stones. In her pocket was her pink and lavender D-Tector.

Kouji had navy pants, a white shirt with the symbol of Light in light blue, and his jacket now had white stripes instead of yellow stripes. He also had gloves but they were navy blue and white. The only thing that didn't change was his bandana, which was on his head. Hanging from his belt loops was a chain with six tags on it, each tag with the symbol of Light on one side of all but one which had the symbol on both sides. In his jacket pocket was the upgraded version of his D-Tector.

Kouichi looked similar to Kouji except for the color and his shirt had the symbol of Darkness on it. He had black pants, a grey shirt, and a lighter grey jacket with black stripes. His symbol was in black and he didn't have a head covering. His gloves were also black and grey and the six tags on the chain were adorned with the symbol of Darkness on only one side. He found his black and grey D-Tector in his pants pocket.

Yamato's outfit was the same, for the most part. The only thing that had really changed was his shirt, which was now forest green and had the symbol for Wood in dark green on it, his shoes were brown, he had olive and brown colored gloves, an olive colored jacket encircled his waist and his tag symbol was for Wood. When he pulled his cell-phone out of his pants pocket; it became a brown and forest green D-Tector.

Tommy was wearing green pants, a light green shirt with the symbol of Ice in ice blue, a light green jacket with ice blue stripes and light green and green gloves. His hat had disappeared and the chain and tags with the symbol for Ice appeared. He found his green and light turquoise D-Tector in his pocket.

JP was wearing blue pants, and a yellow shirt with the symbol of Thunder in green. He also had a blue and yellow jacket, blue and yellow gloves, he had tags with the Thunder symbol and in one of the pockets he found his blue and yellow D-Tector.

Yutaka's clothes now consisted of a double-sleeved shirt that was white from the elbows down and the shirt was grey. On the front of his shirt was the symbol for Metal in a dark grey. His pants were now the same color as the symbol. His shoes were still grey. His gloves were grey and dark grey with metal over his knuckles. The tags bore the symbol for Metal on one side. When he reached into one of his pockets he found a metallic grey and silver D-Tector.

Shinya now had brown pants, a tan shirt with the symbol of Earth in a yellow-orange color. His jacket was dark brown, and his gloves were brown and tan. Hanging from his chain was six tags with the Earth symbol. Out of the jacket pocket came a brown and yellow-orange D-Tector.

Takuya was all red. His pants were dark red, his shirt red with a dark red symbol for Flames and his shoes were a dark red. His hat was also a red and his jacket a dark red with a red stripe going down each sleeve. His gloves were red as well and his goggles were not changed. Like Kouji, he had five tags that had the symbol of Fire on one side and one tag with the Fire symbol on both sides. His D-Tector was the second version he had.

"What's that?" Yamato asked, pointing out the window to a place where fire was bellowing.

"It's the Fire Terminal!" Tommy yelled excitedly. "That must mean that Bokomon and Neemon are coming with us!"

"You're right, Tommy. It'll be good to see them again," Zoe said.

"Hey guys?"

"What Kouji?" JP asked.

"Didn't you notice that we don't have our Spirits?" Kouji asked, showing them a blank screen on his D-Tector.

"What?" Takuya yelled, checking his D-Tector screen. Finding it blank he bit his lip to keep from swearing. Kouichi didn't even try to stop himself.

"(Censored)!" All of the original Chosen's mouths dropped open after Kouichi swore. He looked at all of them and asked, "What? Can't I voice my opinions?"

"Yes, you can voice your opinion but I didn't know that you, one of the nicest people on earth, could swear like that."

"When was I known as one of the 'nicest' people on earth?"

"…After we first met you."

"…"

"We can't defend ourselves; that will be a problem if we're attacked. Everyone try to stay out of trouble. Especially you, Shinya," Takuya said. He was feeling more pressure now than any other time he had been in the Digital World. Now Shinya was a Chosen one and currently he was full of mischief. He picked fights almost everyday. And if he was cocky enough to pick a fight with a digimon…he might get killed. "I need to be alone right now. So don't try to talk to me," Takuya said going to the compartment in front of them.

Shinya glared at the door, then growled "Who died and made him the boss?"

"He was the leader when we first came here," Tommy answered. Before Kouji had interrupted him, Tommy was going to ask Takuya why Shinya was acting this way. After their first adventure, Takuya had introduced Tommy to Shinya and they became friends. Then Shinya became hot-tempered and interested in fights.

"Hey, Tommy?"

"Yeah, Nii-san?"

"Who are those two that you mentioned earlier? Boe-koe-mon and Nae-mon?" Yutaka asked.

Tommy grinned and answered, "Bokomon is the Keeper of the Book and Neemon…well he calls himself the Keeper of his Pants."

JP looked around the compartment and asked, "Where's Kouichi?"

Kouichi was outside Taiya's compartment debating to go in or not. 'Should I go in or not? I mean, I am her best and only friend but I also know that she's not a people person.'

While he was debating with himself the door opened and a voice startled him out of his thoughts.

"If you want to come in, you can Kouichi. I wouldn't mind the company if that's why you're hesitating."

He then saw Taiya in the doorway looking amused. Her clothes were also different. She still had on her shoes, her blue jeans and her teal jacket. Her shirt was now a light blue T-shirt. Over her heart was the symbol for Water in teal. The bandana was now blue and on her head. Her hands had gloves that came halfway up her fingers, a teal and dark blue coloring. With the bandana on her head Kouichi could see a necklace around her neck. The necklace was silver with five light blue stones and four dark blue stones. Earrings had appeared in her ears. The earrings were silver set with light blue stones. Her backpack was on one of the seats.

"Thank you, Taiya," he said as he came into the compartment. "So, why are you back here instead of up there, meeting everyone else on the train to the Digital World?"

"You know perfectly well why."

"You're right, but why not come out now and meet everyone?"

"I will if I know a bit about who's who and what they're like," Taiya answered.

"I'll tell you about them," Kouichi said.

"Alright."

"Kouichi has been gone for twenty minutes and why are we not at the Fire Terminal yet?" Kouji said as he checked his watch. The others were telling the new Chosen about what the Digital World and what digimon were. Takuya was still in the front compartment and Zoe was getting worried. The door at the back of the compartment opened and they turned to see Kouichi.

"Where the hell have you been?" Kouji asked.

"I was just seeing if Taiya would come and join us," he answered.

"And who's Taiya…Kouichi, right?" Yutaka asked still a bit confuse about the differences between Kouji and Kouichi, even after Tommy told him the differences between them.

"Yeah, I'm Kouichi and Taiya is the girl from the platform, besides Zoe."

Kouichi then came in followed by a girl in many colors of blue.

"Guys, this is Taiya Hale. Taiya that's Kouji, my twin; Tommy, the youngest of the group…" he went on pointing to each person as he said their name, until he found that Takuya wasn't present.

"Hey, where's Takuya?"

"Up front, he doesn't want to be disturbed though," Yamato told him. Kouichi nodded. Worm then jerked to a stop.

"Fire Terminal! Five minute break then we're off to the Forest Terminal!"

They all got off Worm and Zoe immediately spotted some old friends.

"Bokomon, Neemon it's good to see you two again," she said enveloping the two digimon in a bear hug.

"It's good to see you too, Zoe," the white digimon gasped.

"Hello," the orange digimon said in a dense voice.

Zoe then let them go and the white digimon spotted the newcomers. "And who else, besides who we know, is here?"

"The tallest one that's in mostly grey is Tommy's older brother, Yutaka. The guy next to JP is his friend, Yamato. The Mini Takuya is Takuya's younger brother, Shinya."

"Don't call me Mini Takuya," Shinya growled. Kouichi looked at Kouji for an explanation, but only got a look that said 'Tell you later'.

"And that girl standing next to Kouichi is Taiya," Zoe finished introducing everyone.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Bokomon, Keeper of the Book," the white digimon said. He looked a bit like a monkey and had a pink belt on, which the new Chosen found odd.

"And I'm Neemon, Keeper of my Pants," the orange digimon said. He looked like a rabbit in red pants.

"Well, we've met everybody, but where's Takuya?" Bokomon asked. Kouji pointed to the compartment that Takuya had gone into. Neemon blinked and asked,

"Why doesn't he come say hello?"

"Bakamon! People need space!"

"I'm not Bakamon, I'm Neemon." After that Bokomon reached over and grabbed Neemon's waistband, pulled and let go, causing the waistband to snap Neemon and make him dance around in pain. The four new Chosen sweat dropped. Yamato then went up to JP.

"Do they do this often?"

"Yeah, you'll get use to it."

"Hey everyone! Break time is nearly up! You better get back in after all we have a schedule to keep!" Worm called.

"Ok Worm. Hey Bokomon, you wouldn't know why Ophanimon called us, would you?"

"No, I wouldn't know why. We'll probably find out when we get to the Forest Terminal and meet with Ophanimon, Seraphimon and Cherubimon."

A minute later they were back on Worm on the way to the Forest Terminal. Takuya was still up in front and the door was locked.

"What the hell is he doing up there?" Shinya asked out loud. JP glared at him, disliking him and getting more annoyed with him every minute.

"You have no idea what your brother did when he was first here. You have some guts to insult him and if he just ignores you when you do, I won't and I'm not going to stand let you." The two then started a glaring contest. Tommy watched Shinya worriedly. He really wanted to know why Shinya was acting this way and how to make him his old self. Just then, Worm suddenly stopped and cried,

"Attack alert! Attack alert!"

Everyone looked out the windows and saw that they were in the Forest Kingdom. They also saw that there indeed was a battle going on in front of them. They then saw three figures that the original Chosen recognized.

"Ophanimon, Seraphimon, Cherubimon!" they cried as they got off Worm. They didn't see Takuya anywhere.

"Where is Takuya?" Zoe asked before she saw a fourth figure rise from the smoke.

"Well Celestial Angels is that your best? Seems pretty pathetic even with your power as great as they are. Bow down to me, if you wish to be spared," the mysterious digimon told them. They couldn't see who he was because a dark black cloak covered him.

Ophanimon didn't even consider a way to save her life; instead she yelled, "I will never bow down to you…Daemon!" After that, she and the other Celestial Angels launched their strongest attacks at Daemon, ripping off his cloak in the process. However, Daemon came out without a scratch from any of the attacks.

"What did I tell you? Your powers are pretty pathetic. Especially when they are compared to mine. Flame Inferno!"

Daemon unleashed his attack on the three Angels and knocked all but Ophanimon down. He then began to prepare another attack when a rock hit him between the eyes.

"Who dares to attack the Great Demon Lord?" he bellowed.

"You're a 'Great Demon Lord'? More likely you're full of hot-air." Daemon narrowed his eyes and began to search for his prey.

"Up here, you baka." They all looked up and saw Takuya in one of the trees. While Daemon was distracted, Ophanimon and the Chosen took the chance to check Seraphimon and Cherubimon.

"Seraphimon, Cherubimon! Are you guys ok?"

"Thank goodness you have arrived!" cried Ophanimon. Kouichi looked up to see Takuya throwing bench planks that had been torn away from the frame, rocks, and tree branches at Daemon.

"You dare mock me, you insolent brat?"

"Yeah, I do dare mock you. I wouldn't be surprised if you were mistaken for an over-grown Phantomon that kept losing his scythe and crystal. Because that's what you look like."

"You have such insolence. I will make you bow down and beg me for mercy."

"That'll happen at the end of time. Besides I want to know who died and made you king of the Digital World when the rulers are still alive!"

"Insult and mock me all you want; it will just make me less merciful on you."

"You're the one that needs to beg for mercy because Mother Earth hates you so much that you'd have to kiss the ground to make her happy."

"Let's see about that! Flame Inferno!" Takuya jumped and took out a pole that he had taken from Worm's compartment. He then hit Daemon on the head with it and landed on his feet. Then he asked,

"So do you believe me now?"

"You will pay for that!"

"How in the world does Takuya stay so calm?" Yutaka gaped, watching as Takuya dodged another attack and kicked a rock at Daemon, who cursed loudly.

"We have no idea. Ophanimon do you have our Spirits?"

"No, each of them are protecting a different area."

"Then, we can't do…anything?"

"Takuya!" Yutaka yelled as Daemon's attack finally found its mark.

"Now you know what happens to those who mock me!"

"What, you tickle them to death?"

"What?"

Everyone gasped in surprised as Takuya walked out of the flames, without a singe. He then pointed the pole at Daemon.

"Want to know why the flames don't burn me?"

"How can this be possible? My Flame Inferno is the hottest flames in Hell!"

"It's possible because I am the Warrior of Fire!"

With that, Agunimon burst froth from the trees and punched Daemon in the guts. Daemon began to curse when he saw the Human Warrior of Fire. Agunimon then turned to Takuya.

"Are you ready to battle with me again, Takuya?"

"Why do you think I'm here for if I wasn't ready to battle again? Do you think I'm here to sight-see?" Agunimon chuckled at Takuya's answer.

"No. Now let's show this 'Demon Lord' what we can do!" After Agunimon said that he changed into his armor mode and was scanned into Takuya's D-Tector. Takuya grinned as the symbol of Fire appeared on the screen.

"It is time, once again."

Frontier Spirit Evolution Theme: With the Will

The outline of Agunimon's armor form drew itself onto the screen of the D-Tector. Takuya then put his left hand out in front of him watching as the ring of Fractal-Code appeared around his hand. Crossing then uncrossing his hands three times, he scanned the code after the third uncrossing, while he yelled, "Execute!"

After he scanned the code he roared "Spirit Evolution!" With that, his clothes were ripped off by strong forces. Agunimon's armor appeared behind him and burst into flame.

Agunimon's armor began to appear around Takuya before it fused on his body. He then turned around the fire that hid his eyes disappearing to reveal sky blue eyes instead of red-brown. Jumping down onto a platform, he gave two fiery punches and yelled out his name, completing his Spirit Evolution.

"Agunimon!"

Agunimon stood tall, waiting for Daemon to react. Shinya had his mouth open in shock and disbelief; Yutaka rubbed his eyes to see if this was a mirage. Yamato had a look that said 'Too cool' while Taiya just blinked. The ones who had seen this before began to cheer Takuya on.

"Daemon, you want to make the Digital World yours. But as long as I still have a breath in my body you will never succeed! Pyro Tornado!"

The Chosen and digimon cheered as a tornado of fire engulfed Daemon. Daemon then rose high into the air, his cloak a little singed.

He then snarled, "You got it easy today…no matter I will send my minions to destroy you, I promise!" He disappeared in a flash and Takuya de-evolved. The rest of the Chosen ran up and began to congratulate him. When Ophanimon, Seraphimon and Cherubimon came up; Takuya looked at them and said,

"You owe us an explanation."

Zoe: Now we can get our explanation.

Yamato: Are we going to get Spirits like Takuya?

Yutaka: We'd better. I want to help save this place.

Kouichi: Look out! We're being attacked by the SkullSatanmon brothers!

Kouji: I'll help Takuya! Execute! Spirit Evolution!

Yutaka: They need my help but what can I do? Wait…what's this power I feel? My Spirit! Execute! Spirit Evolution!

Takuya: Next time on Digital Union: Frontier! Lobomon's Return and Sir Mercurymon Joins! It's time to Spirit Evolve!
