The DigiDestined were all being transported back to the digiworld though that computer. They twisted and turn throughout the DigiPortal, landing with hard thuds. The TV monitor that served as a gateway back home slowly lost it's brilliant glow and fade to black, cracking, and braking the connection to the real world.
The first to regain control of themselves was Ken. Looking around he noticed his surroundings were all too familiar. They seemed to be back to the place they considered a second home.
"What just happened... I see that we are in the Digital World but how, why?"
Tk was the second.
"I don't really know but we need to see if we can get the rest to wake up so we can figure that out."
Ken looked around and indeed all of the other digidestine were out cold from their nasty spill out of the DigiPortal. Before either one could move to check on their unconscious friends they hear rustling in the bushes. Tk looked over to where the noise was coming from and slowly crept over to get a better look. Inching closer... closer... closer...
"TK! I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU"
"Patamon, w-w-what are you doing here? I thought I left you at home."
"HEY DON'T FORGET ABOUT US!"
Tk looked around to see his friends Digimon waving and walking toward their partners to help them up.
Gently the Digimon woke their partners and migrated to where Tk was standing. Well all except Veemon who decided that screaming, "DDDDAAAVVVIIISSS WWAAAKKEE UUUPP!," straight into his partner's ear was a better course of action.
Tk shook his head and look back at Patamon and asked "Why are you here and not at home"
"I don't know Tk. I was at home waiting for you to get back when your computer screen sucked me in."
Veemon jumped up and down, "me too."
Joe looked over at the broken portal, "I think that someone might not want us going home."
Mimi looked at Palmon "Do any of you know why we were sent here"
Looking at the other Digimon and then back at Mimi, "No, but we've noticed a lot of bad things going on. A lot of Digimon have been going crazy lately and no one can explain why."
Everyone looked over at the monitor feeling a sudden rush of concern.
Suddenly footsteps could be heard from behind. They grow closer and closer. The group readied themselves in defense positions. A figure slowly advanced toward them covered from head to toe. The DigiDestined all felt a wave of nostalgia Stopping a few feet from Tai the figure began to reveal his face.
"I think I can explain"
"GENNAI! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE" the whole group screamed in unison.
"Kids... I need you to sit down and listen to me carefully... this will definitely need to sink in"
Tai was the first to speak up, "Gennai, what kind of crazy stuff has happened and why are we suddenly trapped here?"
Before Gennai could respond Davis piped up, "Yeah, I mean I know none of us could be here as much as we wanted to but you know school kinda kicked in. speaking of which why did we have that bogus class."
Gennai was starting to get impatient, "IF YOU TWO WOULD SHUT THE HELL UP I WOULD EXPLAIN EVERYTHING... IF I HEAR ANOTHER THING FROM ANY OF YOU I WILL LET YOU FIGURE ALL OF THIS ON YOUR OWN. DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND ME?"
He looked at every single DigiDestined and every last Digimon and slowly and carefully each one nodded, scared they might set him off.
"Like I was saying... I come to tell you about the impending doom that is foreshadowing our world and yours. I see that you have notice that the DigiPortal is closed between the two worlds. Time has gone to it's original setting. A couple of months in this world will have been like nothing in your original world. That is why the connection has been broken. I hacked into you school computers to give you all the same class to get you here because if I tried to do it separately I'm sure it wouldn't have worked out too well. I lucked out with Mimi transferring here. Your Digimon were brought here first because they couldn't leave without you." A smug grin pulled at his lips.
while the fairly new DigiDestined were pretty shocked by the surprising news the original one would somewhat uses to the idea of being jerked around by Gennai.
"The reason that you have all been sent here is because there is a new threat in the digital world. Do all of you remember when Ken proclaimed that he was the Digimon Emperor?" It was meant to be a rhetorical question but the group still nodded in response, while Ken lowered his head in shame.
"The only reason I mentioned it is because there is an actual Digimon Emperor in our legends. I would, however, suggest that you prepare yourselves for a long story"
The DigiDestined created a circle that incased Gennai inside. Gennai placed a mechanical device precisely in the middle of the group. When he felt that he had everyone's attention he held up a remote that would activate the device and pressed started. Immediately pictures of ancient Digimon language were floating around the makeshift circle.
"Along time ago when the digital world was created there were humans that actually lived in this world. They served as it's rulers and protectors. Even though the beings were mostly human they also traces of Digimon DNA, that is most of their power came from. Any questions so far?"
Izzy took this time to jump up and voice whatever question he had stirring.
"Now that you mentioned it..."
"Didn't think so... like I was saying."
Izzy sat back down annoyed by the fact that he couldn't get the answers that he was craving to know.
"Back to what I was saying. When the Digital World was created, there were 6 that served as the royal court. Three men and three women. In order according to power we had the prince, princess, king, queen, emperor, and empress. The Empress was so powerful that she had the same amount of power as the rest of the royal court combined times 3. They were not the only human that were amongst us no... there were others that assigned to protect the digital world and it's rulers, known as the Knights of the Royal Court. Under their ruler and defense the digital world was a happy and peaceful place that thrived and flourished, till the day that a being came claiming to be the Dark Digimon Emperor. It is not know whether he was a Digimon or human but his ultimate goal was to claim the empress and use her to control both world. This started the great war of the digital world. The Royal court of light fought fiercely with the dark emperor and sealed him away, but not without great loss. To see that no one would ever use the power of the royal court for evil again the empress order the the court sealed their powers in precious artifacts and sent their souls to the real world. Each soul was implanted into a human child and throughout time was transferred to their offspring. I have great confidence that that you children are the descendants of the great Royal Court. The time has come for you to go and find the artifact that contain the power of your ancestors. The threat that you face happened to be the reincarnation of the Dark Emperor. He has been controlling Digimon with what he calls dark orb, which are orb of dark energy that he can manipulate the Digimon into trying to locate the royal artifacts."
All of the DigiDestined and Digimon look at each other almost all thinking the same thing, 'who could this digimon really be?'
Ken however was thinking, 'At least it's not me this time.'
Gennai continued with his explanation, "What we need you to do is to locate and awaking the power in the Royal artifacts before the dark emperor. We don't know what these artifact look like or where they're located but since the dark emperor has been awaked the souls within you should start to awaken as well. The soul within will start to react with the artifact and somehow you should be able to locate them."
Tai figured Gennai was done so he decided to start getting some of the answers to his questions.
"Gennai thanks for the history lesson but how are we suppose to know what this dark emperor guy looks like? How do we know which chosen child is the knight and how's the empress? Not only that but how will be able to unlock the power?"
Gennai looked down in contemplation then looked up at Tai, "All valid question but I have to answers for any of them. Those are answers that you will have to find on your own."
With that Gennai pressed a button on the remote and the device shutdown. Slowly he walked over to pick it up then looked over at Mimi, "There will be many surprises and trouble along the way, they are just something we will have to endure." With that Gennai began to walk away disappearing slowly in the setting sun.
