The Return to the Digital World
Lupine Laser: I hope you guys like my characters. Anyway, I do not own Digimon or Yutaka Himi or Shinya Kanbara.
I had no idea who this 'clown' was sending me this kind of message but who cares? It could be important. It was not everyday that you see a double message sent to you and you can choose 'Yes' or 'No'. So, I was walking towards the Shibuya station a few yards away from the mall.
Chapter 20: The Meeting
NORMAL POV (TRAILMON AND TEAM)
The ride back to the human world was longer and more unpleasant compared to the first time they were here. The Trailmon tracks were rebuilt because of the destruction and all the Trailmons, unfortunately, requested for more loop-the-loops. Digimons might have enjoyed it, but humans sure did not.
There were actually two tracks, one with no loop-the-loops, the other with them all the way. Worm had said that he would want to treat the Digi-destined to a fun time since they saved the Digital World. However, his definition of 'fun time' was not what Takuya, Kouji, Kouichi, JP, Tommy and Zoe would call as fun. Everyone was kind of sick when they finally stopped at the secret Digimon station underneath Shibuya station.
Kouji was coughing really bad. "WORM! DON'T YOU EVER DARE TO GO BY THAT TRACK IF WE ARE INSIDE AGAIN!" Worm just chuckled as he stayed at the same spot beside the platform.
"Fine. When your new friends come aboard, I won't take that track. Happy?" Worm asked.
"YES!" everyone chorused. The team looked around and realised that the station looked much nicer than before, with only rounded walls like a dome. This time, the station still was a dome but there were benches. There were even pictures on the walls of the dome.
Those pictures were dedicated to the Legendary Warriors. Since the wall was big enough, they fitted pictures of all the Spirits, which included Ranamon, Mercurymon, Arbormon and Grumblemon but excluded Duskmon. They also had the Spirits' Beast form. Interestingly, they had also painted Beowulfmon, Aldamon, MagnaGarurumon and EmperorGreymon and there was even an awesome well-detailed painting of Susanoomon.
"Woah! This is so cool! I guess we are famous in the Digital World huh?" Zoe mused. Everyone was speechless as they stared in wonder at the paintings.
Kouichi suddenly asked, "Wait! If Duskmon was the corrupted form of Loweemon and Velgemon was the corrupted version of JagerLoweemon, why doesn't Ranamon, Mercurymon, Grumblemon and Arbormon have another 'good' form?"
Kouji answered, "Maybe it's because the rest are their true forms. It was just that Loweemon was too stubborn to work for the evil Cherubimon and stayed that way until Cherubimon had no choice but to corrupt it." Kouichi shrugged and the rest went to one bench which was the closest to Worm.
NORMAL POV (FOUR NEW MEMBERS)
Yukata, Aimi and Shinya reached the station at almost the same time but neither of them payed attention to each other. Masaki had also managed to squeeze through the many bodies of the working adults that were moving out of the station while he was running back.
Since Masaki was at the station first, he managed to reach the elevator first. Just when he was about to close the elevator doors, Aimi squeezed in, which caused the sensor of the lift to detect something between the lift doors and re-open for some time. That was when Yutaka came running through, all sweaty from the running and Shinya was close behind.
When the lift door finally closed, Yutaka noticed the small Shinya, who was the same age as Tommy and the brother of Takuya. "Shinya! Why are you here?" Yutaka asked as he pressed the lowest station floor.
"I don't know! Someone sent me a message to go down the elevator!" Shinya said. Yutaka also said he received a message of that sort too.
Aimi and Masaki heard that and almost said at the same time, "Hey me too!"
Then Aimi turned to Masaki and said, "Jinx. You owe me a soda."
"..." Masaki stared at Aimi as if she had gone bonkers. Masaki had never known why people even say 'Jinx', let alone ask them for a soda when they know that that person would forget eventually. Aimi saw his expression and giggled. Now Masaki was thinking she was insane.
The lift slowly went down. When all four of them thought that the lift would stop at the lowest basement, something they did not expect happened. The lift did not stop. Instead, it increased its speed and zoomed downwards below the lowest level, which was impossible, right?
Wrong! The lift sped down and landed in a dome shaped place with a loud thud, then a 'ding' of the lift as the doors opened. All four of them wowed at the sight.
YUTAKA'S POV
I was the first to come out and I looked around suspiciously. I saw benches and I examined each one. When my eyes reached a bench with six kids, I was totally shocked. Tommy was one of them! Not only that, they were also with his best friends, Takuya, Kouji, Kouichi, Zoe and JP! What in the world was going on here?
TOMMY'S POV
I watched as the lift doors opened. The first person to step out made my mouth drop. YUTAKA? HE'S A DIGI-DESTINED?! Yeah. That was my first thought that raced through my mind.
TAKUYA'S POV
I heard the lift zooming down. I pointed it out to my friends and they all looked at the lift with anticipation. The lift landed with a resounding thud and a 'ding' when the lift doors opened. Amongst the people who came out, one really shocked me: Shinya Kanbara, my own younger brother.
SHINYA'S POV
I trotted out of the lift behind Yutaka. The first thing I saw was the awesome designs painted on the walls of the dome shaped area. The figures painted were so cool. Then I looked around and spotted some familiar people sitting on a bench not too far away. Takuya! Kouji! What were they doing here? Did they get the same message as me?
KOUICHI'S POV (Kouji thought ALMOST the same thing)
There was only one girl who walked out of the lift. She had the same midnight blue eyes as me and Kouji, just that her hair was dark brown instead. She was wearing one of her favourite clothes, a long sea-blue dress that touched her knees and wore matching leggings, the same sea-blue colour has her dress but with white horizontal lines.
Aimi lived in Tokyo and she came to visit me and Kouji (after knowing that he was my brother) every New Year. She was my distant cousin on my maternal side, sharing the same great grandfather as me and Kouji. What was she doing here?
AIMI'S POV
I steadied myself after the drastic fall of the lift. I turned my head left and right to look at my surroundings. I noticed two very very familiar kids, all my age. Kouichi and Kouji! Those were my distant cousins! Why are they here?
JP'S POV
The scrawny boy who had jet black hair and came out of the lift last was none other than one of my classmates, Masaki Kobayashi. He thought that everyone who befriended him was not a true friend, but he said that I was one of his friends that seemed to care about him, which I did. When he walked out, my eyes nearly popped out of its sockets, figuratively.
MASAKI'S POV
I came out of the lift last as I was squished to the side because three other people decided to join me in the falling lift. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted six kids, but one of them, the plumpest of the group, I knew very well. JP! What was he doing here with five other kids?
ZOE'S POV
I saw my best friend's reaction upon seeing the four people who came out. I knew two, Shinya and Yutaka, Takuya and Tommy's brothers respectively. The rest were unknown to me. Looks like everyone was shocked.
Then there was an awkward silence that followed. I think everyone stood still for five minutes before I decided to break the silence. I cleared my throat. "Er... If you guys could stop staring at each other for a while, maybe we can talk?" I asked. Then, it was like a spell was broken and the four newcomers walked over to the bench that the six of us were sitting on.
