The 2nd Digidestines:
The New World


     "Mom, what's going on?"  Yamo asked, looking out the window.
     "I'll tell you when we get home.  Or your Uncle Tai will."  Kari hugged
her son.
     "Ok."  Yamo sighed.
     "See?  Here's home already.  Now get out of the car."  The cars pulled
up to the apartment building.  Everybody got out of the cars, but they were
all pondering of how they could get the digimon inside without being seen.
     "Hey, maybe they could all de-digivolve-because they're smaller in the
in-training form-and hide them beneath our jackets!"  Tai smacked his fist
onto his hand.
     "Very good Tai, but none of us is wearing one jacket and plus our
digimon called de-digivolve unless they're losing energy."  Sora rolled her
eyes.
     "Oh... yeah I forgot about that... dane it."  Tai frowned.
     "I got'n idea!"  Yama yelled all of the sudden.  "We'll have three
people for the job-one person will hide the digimon under themself, the
second will look ahead of that person to make sure no ones coming, and the
third will look behind!  So there's fifteen people here, and we'll need
three for one digimon, and there's eight digimon.... " Yamo thought for a
long time, but finally came to the answer.  "So there's be only five digimon
we could get up there with that plan, and four digi's without one person. 
But we could have two people for each digi!  And maybe that'd work out...
No, wait-"
     "Yamo, drop it!  We'll just have to take them all up in one big group. 
We'll take the elevator, 'kay?  And one person would run up the stairs to
check so that there was no one by the upstairs elevator!  All right?  Now
let's go already!"  T.K. put his hand over Yamo's mouth.
     "Well... All right!  Sound like a goood plan, my mahn!"  Yamo grinned.
     "Cool!  Let's move your little tooshies now, huh digimon?"  Tai yelled
into the car.
     "Poison Ivy!"  Palmon grabbed Tai with her attack and shook Tai hard. 
"Don't you ever insult us again you big scwerming digiworm!  You-"
     "Palmon, really!  It's OK.  Tai wasn't insulting you!"  Mimi put her
hands to her mouth trying to stiffle a laugh.  "Anyway, somebody could see
us too!"
     "Oh, sorry."  Palmon dropped Tai on hard cement.
     "Yow!"  Tai yelped.  "stupid mangy excuse for a flower digimon she's
more like a weed digimon how I'd like to-"  Tai went on mumbling under his
breath.  But fortunetly for him no one heard him.

     "Ok, I'm go on a private Chat Room that I designed myself.  No one can
get on this room without knowing the password. So I can send a quick email
to Gennai with the password and then we can talk online for a few minutes. 
I hope it works."  Izzy typed on his laptop.  They all waited for about ten
minutes.  While they waited Tai and Matt (who were in a different room)
explained to all the children about the digiworld and their adventures,
discoveries, and dangers.
     "All right!  I have him online!"  Izzy anounced.
     "Hello, digidestined.  You've grown."  A little image-picture of Gennai
talked through the computer.
     "And you have't one bit Gennai, what's the news about our kids?"  Tai
questioned.
     "The thing is there's a new evil digimon out there.  His name is..." 
Gennai didn't keep on talking.
     "Well what's this guys name?"  Sora asked.
     "His name is... Swarthimon."  Said Gennai.
     "What kinda name is THAT??"  Matt asked.
     "I don't know.  But he's very powerful, and not to be underestimated. 
I mean it, too.   He's more powerful than Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon, and
the Dark Masters all put together.  He could probably defeat them in one
split second."  Gennai told them.
     "All right but what's this got to do with our kids?"  Tai asked.
     "You, digi-destined, are too old to come back to the digiworld.  Why, I
cannot explain.  Your children will go in place of you, and take your
crests, digivices, and digimon parners as their own.  I must leave now, you
must figure out a way to get to the digiworld by yourself!  Goodbye!"  And
the image of Gennai disapeared.
     "You were right all those years ago Tai.  Gennai always leaves when we
have to ask him something!"  Matt sighed.
     "So, um, people, what the HECK is going on?"  Daisu spoke up.
     "Well everykid, you're going in our places.  We have no choice, and
either do you.  Both our world and the digiworld will be destroyed and get
all screwed up if you don't do this.  This time you have to be very strong,
in more ways than one.  You have to figure that out."  Matt said.
     "Mm hm.  You have to have courage, friendship, love, hope, light,
reliablity, truthfulness, and intelligence."  Izzy closed him laptop.
     "I don't think Daisu has much of that."  Liz commented.
     "Or Chris...  Intelligence, we mean."  Tiki said.  The two girls
giggled like crazy.
     "Oh shut up."  Daisu sighed.
     "Well, I guess we have to do this."  Chris said.  "So dad, do I go in
your place?"
     "I guess you do."  Joe turned to him.  "Here, this is the crest of
Reliability.  And he's gonna be your partner, Gomamon.  Oh yeah, here's the
digivice."  Joe dug in his pocket.
     "I have a pretty good idea who's going in who's place."  Kari said. 
"Yamo will go for T.K., Mika will go for me,  Tiki for Mimi, Chris for Joe,
Wix for Matt, Daisu for Tai, Liz for Sora, and-"  Kari stopped and looked at
Izzy.  "Oh my gosh... Izzy, you're not married, are you?"
     "Nope.  Neither do I have any children, either.  I guess I'll just have
to go myself."  Izzy stood up.
     "No.  Gennai said that we couldn't go.  Not us grownups.  I don't know
why, but I think if we do go, something bad will happen, and neither do I
know why!"  T.K. said.
     "Oh, this is so confusing."  Mimi leaned against Joe, who put his arm
around her shoulder.
     "It's ok Mimi, everything's going to work out."  Sora reassured her. 
"Here Liz, my crest.  It's the crest of Love.  And this is Biyomon, who's
going to be your partner."
     "Hi Liz!"  Biyomon hugged her.
     "Hey!"  Liz smiled.
     "Here Yamo, this is the crest of Hope, and this is Patamon."  T.K. gave
his crest to Yamo.
     "Hi Yamo."  Patamon said.
     "Hiya!"  Yamo said.
     And one by one they gave their crests and digivices to their children.
     "Now, I know this world is going to be strange to you, and scary, and
it will be dangerous.  It will also be fascinating, and beautiful in some
ways.  You have to depart now, but just remember to be strong, to be all
that.  And be sure to stick together, and be patient with one another." 
when Matt said that, he looked at Tai and the two grown men smiled at each
other.  "Now, hold out your digivices, and go."  Matt then went to Wix and
hugged him.  "Be brave, 'kay kid?"
     "I will dad.  I promise."  Wix hugged back.
     "You two kids do not fight at all, 'kay?  And stick together."  Tai,
Sora, Liz, and Daisu hugged each other.
      "Be careful children... Oh, I love you sooo much!"  Mimi hugged Chris
and Tiki stranggledly.  Joe smiled wryly and hugged them after Mimi.
     "Be careful you two." T.K. told his children.
     "We love you both.  And stay by your cousins."  Kari said.
     "I'll be fine!"  Yamo smiled, pointing to himself.  He hugged his
mother, then his father.  Mika did the same.
     "All right, see you later pops!"  Daisu held his hand up.  "And moms." 
He held out his digivice, and the othes followed his lead.  The digimon ran
up and stood by their partners.
     "Goodbye Izzy!  Maybe some other child will show up for me!"  Tentomon
turned to Izzy before they left.
     "Maybe Tentomon... maybe."  Izzy smiled.
     A circle of light surrounded the children, colors of blue, purple, red,
green, yellow, and orange.  Then a bright flash of light flashed before
their eyes....

     "Oh man... my head... "  Daisu woke up and groaned.  His head was
throbbing as if a table had just been broken over his head.
     "Hey there Daisu!  Are you okay?"  A little yellow dinosaur came into
Daisu's veiw.  It was Agumon.
     "Hey there Agamun, or whatever."  Daisu sat up.
     "It's A-gu-mon.  Gosh you look alot like Tai!  In fact, all of the
other kids look just like their parents!"  Agumon told him.
     "Yeah, I know.  Uh, are we in the, uh, 'digiworld'?"  Daisu inquired,
looking around.  Never in his life had he seen such funny looking trees. 
There were fern-like plants all over.  EVERYTHING seemed to be vegetative.
     "Geez, isn't there anything else here besides trees and plants?  And
Fruit?"  Daisu just noticed something like looked like a banana bunch and
something else that looked like a pink orange, only without the ruff skin.
     "Why yes!  There's deserts and villages and icebergs and moutains and
lakes and there's a big ocean surrounding this whole island."  Agumon said
in his high, squeeky-like voice.
     "Cool.  Hey, do you know where the other's are?  I mean, like my sister
and cousins and those other two kids?"
     "Yes, I think so!  They should be around here SOMEwhere."
     "Cool!  Let's go look!"  Daisu jumped up.  "C'mon!"  He started walking
to a small path and down, with Agumon by his side.
     "Hey! Daisu!  There ya are!  D'you know where my sister and the others
are?"  Yamo and Patamon ran up to Daisu.
     "Hey there Yamo!  No, I'm not sure where the others are but we're
looking for them!"  Daisu smiled down on his younger cousin.
     "Oh okay... Hey there Agumon!  How's it going?"  Yamo suddenly turned
to Agumon.
     "Fine!" Agumon smiled.
     "Oh!  Um, you there with the big hair!  Hi!"  Daisu saw a girl and boy
running up to him.  He figured they was probably the woman's in the pink
daughter and son.
     "Hey there!"  Daisu replied.  "The name's Daisu, and this is Yamo."
     "Tiki is my name.  And this is Chris!"
     "Cool!"  Yamo grinned wide.
     "Hey there Daisu, Yamo."  Chris said.  Daisu saw that he had a guitar
strapped to his back.  It wasn't very big, but it wasn't small.
     "Hey, strum us a song dude!"  Daisu pointed to the quitar.
     "No!  Not right now.  Let's find the others first."  He held his hand
up.
     "Okay Chris!  Let's blow this joint!"  Tiki thrust her hands up,
laughing.  Then Palmon and Gomamon started laughing, and then everybody else
joined in and started off down the road.

     "Unnngh... "  Wix awoke slowly, sat up, and wiped his mouth.  He
swallowed.  "What... "  <Oh yeah, now I remember> He thought.  <We're in the
'digiworld'>
     "Ah!  I see you're awake my friend."  Wix saw a dog-like creature come
into the clearing he lied on.  It was Gabumon.
     "Hey there Gabumon.  Where's all the others... my cousins and those two
other kids?"  He asked him.
     "Well, one is right next to you and I don't know where to others are!" 
Gabumon said, pointing to a figure lying next to Wix.  It was Mika, his
cousin.
      "Mika!  Wake up!"  Wix crawled over to her and shook her.  She slowly
opened her eyes and blinked.
      "Oh, Wix.  What's going- oh yeah, we're in this one world, aren't we?"
  She questioned him.
      "Yep.  Here's Gabumon."  Wix looked at him.
      "And don't forget about me!"  A fourth figure came into the clearing. 
It was Gatomon.
      "Oh hello Gatomon!"  Mika brightened as she saw her and smiled. 
"Where's my brother Yamo?"
      "I don't know.  We don't know where anyone is.  I think we should  go
search for them right away."  answered Gatomon.
      "Yeah, me too."  Wix agreed.
      "Let's get going then!"  gabumon pointed into the large, green forest.

                    *        *       *

      "Hey there Agumon!  Biyomon!  Palmon!"  everyone heard a voice yelling
at them.  It was Tentomon.  He came flying torward them, with another figure
following him, a boy.
      "Hey Tentomon!  Where were you?"  Agumon waved.
      "Guess who I found?  Or found me?"  Tentomon asked proudly.
      "Who?"
      "A boy!  This is Akira," Tentomon moved aside, to reaveal a boy, "and
he's come here in place of Izzy!  Well it's kind of obvious since he has the
crest of Knowledge... "  The boy had very neat black hair, which smoothed
down on his neck.  It was sort of long, but not really.  He had two black
strings of hair that went down before his ears.  He wore a white dress
shirt, and dark green dress pants.  He had a laptop strapped to his back,
and in his shirt-pocket were a pair of spectacles.  But the thing most
noticable about him were his dark, black eyes.
      "Hello!"  He smiled slighty, or shyly it looked like.  "Pleased to
meet you.  Tentomon told me all about this place and you and your parents."
      "Hey there!  I'm Tiki, and this is my no-good stupid brother Chris!!" 
Tiki held her hand out, and Akira shook it.  "That over there is Liz, and
that's her brother Daisu, and this is Yamo!  This is Palmon, my 'partner'!"
      "Hey Akira, just ignore my sister... I am NOT no-good and stupid, she
just likes describing herself as others."  Chris laughed.
      "Oh shut up Chris!"  Tiki scowled.
      "So, is your dad Mr. Izumi?"  Yamo asked Akira.
      "No!  Izumi is my teacher.  He isn't married, and I don't think he
ever will be!"  Akira smiled weakly.
      "Oh...  But what do YOUR parents have to do with the digiworld?"  Yamo
again asked yet another question.
      "I'd rather tell you later... "  Akira looked uncomfertable.
      "Yeah, sure!  But let's get going now, we have to find our cousins!" 
Liz spoke up, afraid that whatever Akira would rather tell them later was
something sad and important to him.
      "Yeah, let's get going!"  Daisu said.
      And went off in search of their cousins... not aware of something that
was with them the whole time....
