Three Years Earlier

Inside a dark cavern, a man sat in the darkness. The only source of light were torches that lied on his wall. This man held a sinister smirk on his face.

"The time draws near. It is time that I take the power. Once I have a hold of it, there will be no equal of mine. Very soon, both worlds will bow to me. I will be remembered as a god. Go now my gates and bring them to me."

Odaiba

Months have gone and passed since the defeat of Malomyotismon. Digimon have become well known and some have come to live in the real world. At Odaiba Middle School, Davis was stretching around as his class was starting gym period.

"Okay to day is the day. The day I finally beat T.K. at his own game." Davis said to himself with confidence in his voice. He looked over to the other side and saw the girls dancing and among the group was Kari. "Maybe I can finally win Kari's heart and have her forget about him."

"Hey Davis, are you ready?" T.K. said.

"Yeah I'm ready. Ready to take you down." Davis said. Veemon with Gatomon and Patamon were watching from the bleachers with other digimon since they didn't had to hide anymore.

"Is he kidding himself again?" Gatomon said.

"Have a little faith. Davis can beat T.K. this time." Veemon said.

"We'll see about that, but I already know how this is going to turn out." Gatomon said. "Don't get me wrong, Davis is a good guy, but he's in way over his head."

"Yeah, not to sound mean, but I doubt he'll beat T.K. anytime soon." Patamon said.

"Here we go!" Davis said as he grabbed the basketball. He moved around the court as he tried to maneuver the ball around, but T.K. moved quicker than he did and snatched it away. "No!" T.K. jumped up and scored.

"That's two points for me." T.K. said and the girls that were watching cheered for him.

"Nice shot, T.K." Kari cheered. All that did to Davis was make him mad.

"You might have got the first score, but I'm winning this." Davis said. He didn't. He kept tripping or got the ball stolen. Final score, T.K. got 25, Davis 0.

"Good game, Davis." T.K. said, but Davis didn't find it good. He tossed the ball in frustration, but it bounced off the backboard and hit him in the face and got knocked down. That had a few people laughing. "Whoa, are you okay?"

"Yeah." Davis said as he helped himself up. T.K. walked over to Kari and she handed him some water.

"You did great out there." Kari said.

"Thanks." T.K. said, but he had something else on his mind. "Listen, can we meet up tonight? I want to talk to you about something."

"Sure." Kari agreed. Gym class was over, but Davis overheard a few girls as he leaned over them.

"Can you believe Davis?"

"When is he going to learn he can't win?"

"He can't beat someone like T.K. and T.K. is much cuter." Davis heard it all and pounded the bleachers in frustration.

"It will be okay. You're a tough guy since that basketball didn't give you a black eye." Veemon said.

"Thanks for trying to cheer me up Veemon, but don't bother." Davis said. He held his head low with his bangs covering his eyes. Veemon would do anything to try and help Davis, but he really didn't know how to help him with this.

The Motomiyas

Davis and Veemon went straight home. When they got there, Jun was on the phone. He just tossed his bag in his room and closed the door.

"Hey Jun, I need to talk to you." Davis said, but Jun shooed him away with her hand.

"Not now you doofus, I'm on the phone." Jun said. Davis really needed to talk to someone about his problems, but every time he tried with his sister, she just acted like she didn't care. Davis opened up the fridge and saw cold spaghetti in there. He figured it was left by his parents again meaning they wouldn't be home until late tonight. He sighed and just grabbed some juice as he went to his room.

"Davis, are you okay?" Veemon said.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Davis said in a sad tone. "T.H. beat me again, Jun doesn't seem to care about my problems, and my parents aren't going to be home until I'm in bed again."

"You know you can always talk to me about your problems right?" Veemon said.

"I know, but I at least want one person to show that they care for my feelings." Davis said as he fell on his bed.

"Something tells me that this isn't about losing the game." Veemon said.

"T.K. has everything I could want. The most friends, a brother that cares for his problems, and even though his parents are divorced he sees them both." Davis said. "Strange as it is, my problems seem to revolve around him."

"I know, why don't we go out for a walk? Maybe that can clear your head." Veemon said.

"I guess so." Davis said as he got up and left. When he stepped out his door, there were four figures that were watching him.

"That's them."

"The master said we need to have both of them join us."

"How do we go at doing this?"

"That's simple. When you play a violin, you play the strings. When you play with feelings, you play with the heart."

Kari

Kari went home and were getting a few things together. She saw Tai was glaring at her and she was getting annoyed by his look.

"Will you stop giving me that look?" Kari said.

"I don't care if it is T.K., you're going on a date and I don't like it." Tai said.

"We're just hanging out as friends and we're just going to talk is all. You don't have to worry so much." Kari said. There was a knock on the door and Tai was the one to answer it with it being T.K.

"Hey Tai." T.K. greeted.

"If you I hear anything I don't like that you and she did, I'll make your life like hell." Tai threatened and that made T.K. a nervous wreck.

"Will you cut it out? You're scaring him." Kari said and the two of them left. T.K. gave one last look back, but Tai was still shooting daggers at him with his stare.

Davis

Davis and Veemon were just walking through the park as it became the late of night. Davis head was becoming clearer, but there moment of peace was ruined as arrows were shot out right in front of them.

"Whoa!" Davis shouted.

"Who did that?" Veemon said. The two of them looked around, but they didn't see a thing. Davis could still feel something was wrong as he reached for his D3.

"Don't even try it." They heard a voice and saw someone was shooting energy bullets at them. They tried to take cover behind some trees, but a beast with razor sharp claws and one wielded a sword as they were swung at them, but Davis and Veemon rolled out of the way.

"Who's there?" Davis said. More arrows were shot and hit Davis' clothing and had him pinned to a tree.

"Davis!" Veemon ran over to him, but someone kicked him into the tree.

"Who are you guys?!" Davis said in a demanding tone.

"There's no need to be feisty." He saw in the moonlight was an archer with a black feathered cape and hood with green clothing. Three more figures joined him. "My name is Ravenhoodmon, gate of the north. I'm like the evil digital version of what you call Robin Hood."

"I am Madleomon, the east gate."

"Reapmon, the west gate."

"Grademon (evil form), the south gate."

"The four of us together make the Gates of the Dragon." Ravenhoodmon said.

"Gates of the Dragon? Only one of you seems to have dragon features." Davis said.

"That's just a name. It means that we are the four guards of our master." Madleomon said.

"If you guys want a fight, you've picked the wrong guy on the one day." Davis said.

"We didn't come here to fight you Davis." Grademon said.

"Our master is named Hydroumon." Reapmon said.

"Hydroumon, never heard of him." Davis said.

"That's quite alright, in fact he's heard of you." Ravenhoodmon said. "Grademon spoke the truth when he said we didn't come here to fight. In fact, we came here to have you and Veemon join us because Hydroumon would very much like to meet you."
