"How it began…"

This is the first chapter and it's very long as you can see. Mshake452 asked for me to post this, so I hope you all like it. This took me nearly a year to write. Please enjoy and review!

It was late that night; everyone was sleeping in the apartment building except for one small girl who was having trouble getting to sleep.

She was about 4 years old, twisting and turning in bed as she moaned in annoyance as she tried to get comfortable, but there was a strange noise that was keeping her up.

Finally having enough, she crawled down from her bed, her bare feet touching the icy floor making her shiver in her blue nightdress.

The girl walked out of her room, confused as she saw all of the electrical appliances in the apartment were acting strange, flashing numbers on their screens or beeping.

Brushing her mahogany hair back from her face, she continued down the hallway to see if any other devices were acting strange when she walked into her parents' room and found the computer had turned on, the screen was red as different symbols were being shown moving across the screen.

Feeling curious, the girl walked over to the computer and watched as an egg appeared on the screen which made her blink her large brown eyes curiously at it.

"What's an egg doin' on the computer?" she asked herself quietly.

Suddenly, the egg started to move as it came out of the screen making her gasp in surprise, the red light glowing brighter which made her cover her eyes from the light and then suddenly everything went black.

(In the morning…)

Moaning sleepily, the girl woke up and found herself in her own bed, something warm and smooth in her arms.

"About time you woke up, Daisuke." Someone said.

Looking over, Daisuke found that it was her older sister Jun who had spoken, the wild magenta haired girl already awake and dressed in a pair of brown shorts and a teal t-shirt.

"What time is it?" Daisuke asked as she rubbed at her eyes.

"It's 7:00 am. Dad and Mom are about to leave for work. I'm also going to my friend's house in a few minutes. I made grilled cheese sandwiches; they're on the table in the living room." Jun informed.

Still half asleep, Daisuke nodded as her sister walked out of the room as the girl shook her head to clear it.

"What happened last night and how did I get back in my room? Weird dream." She groaned, and then blinked.

Looking down, she saw that the egg from last night was in her arms which surprised her.

"Huh? It's real! This is one big Easter egg." She said as she observed the red egg with white hearts decorating it.

She set the egg down on her pillow, then climbed out of bed and covered the egg up with her blanket to keep it warm before she walked out of her room.

The little girl found that her parents were gone already and Jun was almost out the door, turning her head in Daisuke's direction.

"I'll be back soon. Don't burn the house down." Jun called teasingly as she walked out.

Daisuke then went into the living room, found the plate of grilled cheese sandwiches and picked up one of them and began to eat it.

Reaching for the remote, she turned it on and found some cartoon playing and sat back to enjoy it while she ate her meal, then she would go to check on the egg.

While she was watching TV, the electronics started to act strangely yet again which made her look around curiously at the flashing lights and the microwave beeping while the picture on the TV screen turned to static.

"Oh, no. Not another egg." She whined as she got up and ran into her room.

When she got there, she found the egg had rolled down onto the floor and then it started to shake as she watched it.

"Uh oh." She yelped.

The egg then had cracks in it as it hatched making her gasp as she found a creature that looked like a red head with tiny bat wing like ears while it had big black eyes had been in the egg.

"Aw, how cute!" Daisuke exclaimed as she walked over to the tiny creature.

Looking over at the girl, the baby jumped out of the shells and bounced over to her, making a purring noise as it started to blow bubbles around the room which made Daisuke giggle.

"Wow, how did ya do that? What's your name?" she asked.

The creature titled to the side making a confused noise which made her smile as she then picked it up and walked off into the living room.

"Come on; let's get cha somethin' to eat." She said.

Chirping happily at the mention of food, the creature cuddled into her arms and let her carry him into the living room where the plate of grilled cheese sandwiches were located.

She set him down on the couch and then grabbed one of the slices, holding it out for the creature to eat and he started nibbling at it happily while she smiled as she watched him.

"So where did you come from? Can you talk?" Daisuke asked him.

He kept on eating which made her think that he couldn't speak at all so she just let him continue to eat.

"I guess since you're just a baby ya can't talk yet." She shrugged.

Just then, the electric appliances went off again making Daisuke look around, then focus on the baby to see if he was going to grow, but nothing happened which confused her.

"Huh? Nothing happened. Then what caused it?" she asked.

He cooed and then started bouncing up and down, words spilling from his mouth.

"Jyari! Jyari! Jyarimon!" he cooed.

"Jyarimon? Is that your name?" she asked him, blinking curiously.

He giggled which made her join in as she pet his head, his ears twitching as he gave a cute grin up at her.

"Ya sure are a cute little guy. I wonder where ya come from? Do all monsters get born off the computer?" the girl asked.

Jyarimon just cooed as he bounced into the girl's arms making her laugh as she decided to take him into the bathroom with her for a bath.

She wanted to play in the water and maybe he would like the water too.

Besides, weren't babies supposed to be washed after they were born?

Daisuke walked into the bathroom and turned on the taps, making sure the water was warm as she pushed in the plug and then went to get the bubble bath out from under the sink.

The little red monster was bouncing on the side of the tub as Daisuke walked back over and stepped up onto the stepping stool that her parents bought for her and she poured in the blue liquid.

Jyarimon watched curiously, thinking the water would turn blue, but instead a layer of foamy bubbles appeared on the surface of the water which made him squeak in awe as he started blowing pink bubbles of his own that made the girl giggle.

"Wow, you can make your own bubbles. Fun!" she said.

After she got undressed, Daisuke picked up Jyarimon and slipped into the tub with him, the monster shrieking in glee as he was in the warm water and covered by the cotton candy smelling bubbles.

She laughed as they played in the water, washing up at the same time as they did so.

When they were done, it was twenty minutes later and Daisuke was dressed in a blue sundress with a red heart on the front of her chest as her hair was wrapped in a towel and she was drying Jyarimon off.

They were sitting in front of the TV as it played an anime show, Jyarimon transfixed on all of the colorful images that were shown on the screen as the girl set him down on a pillow and started to brush her near shoulder length hair.

Jun soon walked into the apartment and found her sister clean, watching TV with what the magenta haired girl assumed was a stuffed animal.

"Hey, squirt. I'm back. Chizuru was sick so I couldn't stay too long." Jun said as she walked over and looked at the screen.

"Oh, that's too bad. But guess what? I found this egg and then it hatched into this cute little monster! His name's Jyarimon and he can make bubbles!" Daisuke cheerfully spoke as she held the red creature out to Jun.

Blinking at having the adorable creature shoved into her face, Jun chuckled as she pet its head.

"Nice to meet cha, Jyarimon." She greeted thinking her sister was playing a game.

Children had such an amazing imagination and Daisuke was no exception to that fact and it just seemed to make her very adorable to believe that her toy was real.

She was only four years old and it wouldn't be fair to ruin her imagination that way, especially since that innocence she had wouldn't last very long with how fast kids seemed to mature now.

Their mother blamed the internet for that very reason.

Jyarimon then started to blow bubbles which made Jun gasp as she stepped back as pink bubbles floated all around the living room as Daisuke laughed, dancing around.

"Isn't it cool?" she giggled.

"Well, it's interesting all right." Jun commented as she popped a bubble that was in front of her.

(That night…)

Whimpering made Daisuke wake up, blinking the sleep from her eyes as she turned to see Jyarimon was shaking and he looked scared for some reason.

"Huh? What's wrong?" she asked sitting up and picking him up.

Bright lights then flashed outside her window and she jumped out of bed with Jyarimon in her arms, the girl walking out onto the balcony after she slid the door open.

Across from her was a blonde haired, blue eyed boy her age looking out into the streets with another boy who appeared to be a few years older with the same blonde hair and blue eyes as the younger boy.

They were using a pair of binoculars to watch the scene happening out in the streets with awe and fright.

Looking down, Daisuke gasped when she saw a huge green bird was flying around while an orange dinosaur was shooting fireballs at it with two kids standing by him.

The bird cackled then when he turned to the dinosaur and sparks crackled around his head as he shot out the electricity, hitting the bridge over the dinosaur, the debris hitting him and he used his body to shield the two kids from being crushed.

Street lights and the building lights all seemed to surge, flashing as the dinosaur grew even bigger with a brown helmet and two horns, his teeth larger and he had blue stripes along his back and tail.

Growling, the dinosaur stood up, revealing the boy and girl he was protecting were safe and then he went off to fight the bird, both growling and squawking at each other as the dinosaur hit the bird with a burst of flames making him fall down.

The dinosaur then ran at the bird as soon as he stood up, both locking hands, trying to push the other back, using their heads to hit the other as the horn on the dinosaur's nose rammed into the bird's beak, starting to make cracks it in.

Regaining his strength, the bird pushed the dinosaur down in the street, causing him to roll and then the bird electrocuted him again making Daisuke and the two boys across from her gasp while Jyarimon started squeaking in outrage.

Daisuke's eyes were focussed on the dinosaur who was just lying there, hoping he wasn't dead as the little girl was crying and her brother held her back as the bird started to stomp over to them slowly as if he were trying to scare them first.

Noticing something glint in the girl's hands, Daisuke saw it was a whistle that the girl was trying to blow, but kept coughing, but then finally the girl's brother grabbed the whistle and then brought it to his mouth, blowing it loud enough to echo around the entire area making the mahogany haired girl gasp at the sound along with the blonde brothers across from her.

After the boy stopped blowing the whistle, the dinosaur woke up and quickly stood up, roaring loudly as he blasted the bird with his flames that got brighter and brighter until everyone was blinded by a bright white light.

When the light faded and Daisuke opened her eyes, she saw that the sun had started to rise and the street was a huge mess with the destroyed bridge, parts of the ground being pulled up as it had unrecognizable prints, cars were flipped over and the two creatures responsible for the fight were gone.

Looking around, Daisuke saw that not only she, the two blonde boys and the dark haired siblings had seen the fight.

There were two other boys and two girls who were at their bedroom windows or balconies who looked confused meaning they had seen the fight as well.

"Hey, squirt, what are ya doing there?" someone asked making Daisuke turn to see Jun was in her room.

Unknown to the mahogany haired girl, the oldest blonde boy had looked over in her direction to see the little girl and then the magenta haired girl who came out.

"Whoa, did a bomb go off?!" Jun gasped at the sight of the street.

(A few hours later…)

Camera crews had arrived to check out the scene, everyone lost on what could have caused the destruction while the children who had seen the attack kept silent because they were sure no one would believe them.

Since the adults didn't know what the real story was, they assumed that it was a terrorist attack or something done by the government to warn people of the dangers going on in the world.

Daisuke was in her parents' room feeding Jyarimon some shrimp while her parents talked in the kitchen while Jun was talking on the phone to her friend over what had happened and about their family moving.

Their neighbours the Kamiyas were there as well talking to the Motomiyas about moving while their children Tai and Kari were in the living room watching TV, both looking upset about something.

"That was weird last night. I wonder what it was." Daisuke mused.

Just then, the computer glowed making Daisuke look over curiously as a strange device came out along with a gold pendant that had a blue rectangular piece in the middle that had a red symbol on it.

Blinking in curiosity, Daisuke stood up and walked over to the two new objects, Jyarimon watching her as the girl touched the two new objects that felt warm to the touch.

"Wow, I keep getting presents from the computer." She said, and then giggled softly as she placed the pendant around her neck.

On the pendant, the red mark was an M with the ends curved while there were triangles around it, one at the top, an upside down one on the bottom and the curved ends had an upside down triangle each.

Jyarimon cooed as he jumped over to her, staring at the device in his human's hand curiously as it then glowed with a white light that touched him making the girl gasp as he began to transform.

"Jyarimon digivolve to…GIGIMON!"

When the light faded away, Daisuke found that her new friend was now bigger and had grown out a tail and four tiny legs while his eyes were now gold and he looked more reptilian.

"Jyarimon, what happened to you?" she asked.

"I digivolved. It's what digimon do to grow and become stronger." He explained.

"Oh, so it's like you went from a baby to a kid like me. And you can talk now!" Daisuke realized happily.

"Mm-hmm. But when I grow, my name changes. Now I'm Gigimon." He said as his tail wagged.

"This is so cool. But how did this device make you change?" the girl asked as she looked it over.

"I don't know. Oh, Daisukemon, can we get more food? I'm starving. Digivolving is a lot of work." Gigimon giggled.

Daisuke blinked at what he had called her, but smiled at him as she bent down and picked him up in her arms.

"Sure pal, let's go eat." She said making him cheer.

(Four years later…)

The families in Heighton View Terrace had moved closer to Odaiba for the safety of their children and things had gone well over the years.

Kari and Daisuke had become friends while Jun became friends with Tai and a girl named Sora Takenouchi who Daisuke recognized as one of the other kids who witnessed the fight between the digimon.

Speaking of digimon, Gigimon had become a handful to take care of and it was hard to hide him in the beginning.

When left home alone, the curious reptile would go through the cupboards and fridge looking for food while also snooping around for something entertaining to do.

When the family came home from work, school and daycare to see the mess created, Mrs. Motomiya thought they had been robbed, but when they found nothing missing except for food, she then thought it was rats.

An exterminator was called to come get rid of the 'rats' while Daisuke took Gigimon to daycare with her and to school from now on.

He hid in her bag or desk, listening to what was going on and almost gave himself away by sneezing or asking a question and Daisuke had to cover for him which made other kids find her weird for talking to herself.

Needless to say, the girl didn't have many friends and became the target for mockery and bullying which angered Jun to no end as she would beat up the kids who bothered her sister.

At the current moment, Daisuke was watching a movie in the living room since the cable wasn't working for some odd reason.

"How many times do we have to watch this movie? Can't we watch something else?" Jun sighed as she leaned against the arm of the couch.

Daisuke was lying down on the pillows she brought out and Gigimon was curled up on a pillow sleeping peacefully.

"Come on. It's a classic." Mr. Motomiya insisted from his seat in the chair next to the couch.

"But it's so old. Can't we watch another movie?" Daisuke asked.

"But it's my favorite." Mr. Motomiya pouted, his bottom lip quivering as his brown eyes shone with unshed tears.

Jun and Daisuke gave him a blank look at that.

Their father may have taught them the puppy dog pout, but they perfected it, namely Daisuke since she was the youngest.

Realizing he wasn't winning, Mr. Motomiya sulked as Jun got up and took out the tape of Terminator and then the girl put in Sailor Moon.

Mrs. Motomiya glanced over and chuckled quietly at her husband's defeated look knowing this was one of the many rounds he had lost to his daughters when it came to getting what they want.

Just then, there was a knock at the door and the golden haired woman whipped her hands on her apron and walked away from the sandwiches she was making.

Gigimon then woke up, his gold eyes wide as he growled at the door making Daisuke look at him in confusion.

"Hello?" Mrs. Motomiya asked when she opened the door.

She then screamed making everyone jump as some creatures that looked like ghosts barged into the room, grabbing at the family.

"What the heck!" Jun yelled as she tried to kick and punch the ghosts who grabbed at her, but she was captured.

Daisuke was then grabbed making her yell and Gigimon gasped as he ran after the ghost dragging her away.

"Don't worry, Daisukemon, I'm coming!" he called.

"Did that toy just talk?" Mr. Motomiya asked in disbelief.

Gigimon jumped up and bit the ghost's clawed hand making him cry out and let go of Daisuke.

"You little brat! You'll pay for that." The ghost glared.

His hand then reached out, growing bigger as it picked up Gigimon, squeezing him tightly making the reptile gasp for breath.

"Gigimon!" Daisuke cried with tears of worry in her eyes.

Just then, another creature that looked like a phantom wearing a cloak and holding a scythe appeared.

"What is taking so long, Bakemon?" he demanded.

"Mon? These guys are digimon?" Daisuke asked in surprise.

"This little girl had a digimon with her. She must be the 8th Child." Bakemon1 who was holding Gigimon said.

"Hmm? This little girl? Myotismon will be pleased." The phantom sneered down at Daisuke.

"Get away from my daughter!" Mr. Motomiya yelled as he and his wife tried to break free.

"Shut up!" Bakemon2 bared his teeth at them.

"Phantomon, what should we do with the others?" Bakemon3 asked.

"What you were supposed to. Come now child, let's go." Phantomon said as he reached for Daisuke.

As his hand drew closer, her digivice that was clipped to her shorts then began to glow, the white light flooding the room and making the ghosts back away, crying out in pain and fear.

Gigimon's eyes then widened as his pupils became slits.

"Gigimon digivolve too…GUILMON!"

Bakemon1 yelped when he saw the tiny reptile had now grown into a dinosaur that was a little over four feet tall with sharp fangs, large claws and had black markings on his body, the one on his chest very similar to the one on Daisuke's pendant.

Snarling at them, Guilmon then raised his paw up and cried out Rock Breaker as he hit Bakemon1 over the head making him explode into data.

"How did he transform?" Mrs. Motomiya asked.

Guilmon then turned his attention to Phantomon who had his hand out towards Daisuke as if he were about to grab her and this angered the dinosaur as his protective instincts rang in his mind.

"Get away from her." He snarled his gold eyes wild.

"Make me." was Phantomon's response as he went to attack the dinosaur only to get blasted by a stream of red flames that sent him flying out of the apartment.

The other Bakemon dropped the humans and then ran off in fear; Phantomon then shook off the attack and ran off, yelling at them to wait.

Shaking his head, Guilmon cooed as his eyes returned to their innocent nature and he looked over at Daisuke and her family who were staring at him in surprise.

"Daisukemon, they didn't hurt you did they?" Guilmon asked as he walked over.

The girl blinked at him to shake off the surprise of what she had seen when her dinosaur gently rubbed his head against her own.

"No, I'm okay. You just saved us, pal. Awesome work. You're the mon." she giggled as she hugged his head making him purr happily.

Shaking out of the confusion, Mrs. Motomiya then looked at her youngest daughter with stern sapphire colored eyes as she marched over.

"Daisuke, what is that creature and why have you been keeping him a secret from us?" she demanded.

Wincing at the tone, Daisuke sighed as she knew that now was the time to tell her family the truth and pray that she didn't get into any more trouble than she was sure she was in.

"This is Guilmon. Four years ago he came out of the computer in an egg. I was looking after him when he first hatched as Jyarimon. Then the night of the explosion, which was really two monsters who were bigger than those ghosts fighting in the street caused it, these two things came out of the computer again and it made Jyarimon digivolve into Gigimon. Now he's Guilmon." Daisuke explained as she showed off her digivice and pendant.

"Four years ago? How did we not notice this? We're terrible parents! We don't even know anything about our daughters!" the spikey haired redhead exclaimed making Jun sigh at her father's antics.

"So why did he digivolve now? Why not any other time over the last four years?" Jun asked.

"Daisukemon was in trouble. I wanted to save her, so I got bigger and stronger. I don't like anyone hurting my friend and you're her family so I won't let anyone hurt you either." Guilmon responded.

"Aw, that's so sweet. But wait, two monsters made that mess? Why are there more here now?" Jun asked.

"I don't know." Guilmon shrugged.

"They said something about the 8th Child. I wonder what that means." Mr. Motomiya mused.

"Wait; did you see how those monsters reacted when they saw Daisuke with Guilmon? They said she was the 8th, so there must be other children with creatures like her." Mrs. Motomiya theorized.

This made everyone gasp as they looked at her in shock from the sudden idea, unsure of how she came up with it.

"Why would there be more?" Jun asked.

"Guilmon, you said that Daisuke makes you digivolve to get stronger, right? Maybe some evil monsters want the other human children to make them stronger like that Myotismon person the ghosts mentioned." Mrs. Motomiya theorized.

"Oh, my baby!" Mr. Motomiya yelled as he then rushed over to Guilmon and grabbed his paws.

"Guilmon, it is now your sworn duty to protect Daisuke. Don't let this monster touch her!" he said.

The females in the room groaned at the immature way the man of the family was acting while the dinosaur blinked curiously at the man with blood red hair, chocolate brown eyes and milky toned skin.

He was not the best person to turn to in situations such as these and it made the daughters question what made their mother fall for him in the first place.

"Enough already, Tamaki. We need to try and get out of the city before those monsters come back." Mrs. Motomiya said.

Guilmon bent down and helped Daisuke onto his back, then ran out of the apartment as the family followed after the dinosaur, running outside to find some ghosts fighting an orange dinosaur that had two kids riding his back as he ran off to safety.

As the Bakemon went after Guilmon, he fired off his Pyro Sphere at them, deleting them making the people they captured run off.

The Motomiya family then ran off to the car, quickly getting inside as Tamaki started the car and began driving off while his wife Narumi turned back to look at her daughters and the dinosaur that had saved them.

"All right, where do we go?" Tamaki asked.

"I'm not sure, but we should try to find a way out of Odaiba." Narumi said stunning her daughters.

"But what about everyone else? We can't just leave them." Jun insisted as worry for her friends surfaced.

"Jun, I'm sorry, but family comes first." Narumi said.

"How do we get out anyway? Those ghosts could be all over the place." Daisuke said in worry.

"Maybe we should hide for a while. That way we can be sure we aren't being followed and then run off." Tamaki suggested.

Sighing, Narumi looked over her children and her sapphire eyes filled with worry as she saw how scared they both looked, but were trying to be brave while Guilmon purred as he lay his head on his human's lap.

"Fine. Find a spot for us to hide." She decided.

Nodding, Tamaki drove off down the street, not even noticing a large red bird with a girl sitting on its foot flew overhead and then turned to the right, heading elsewhere in a hurry.

After a half hour, Tamaki found a parking garage and then drove inside to hide and then got out to pull the door down, but it got stuck half-way down so Guilmon ran over and yanked it down with her teeth.

"Thanks." Tamaki smiled as he patted the dinosaur's head.

"You're welcome, Dadmon." Guilmon smiled making the man blink at the name.

"How long are we going to hide in here?" Jun asked.

"I'm not sure." Narumi sighed.

Daisuke noticed that her digivice was beeping and she pulled it out, looking at the time to see that it was 5:48 at the moment.

"Is Daisukemon scared?" Guilmon asked walking over to her.

"A bit, but I'm happy you and my family are here." She smiled at him making him return it.

A loud gurgling sound made everyone look at Daisuke as she blushed and held her stomach.

"Maybe we should've brought food." She giggled nervously.

"Yeah, why couldn't we have been attacked after we ate?" Jun whined as she held her own stomach as it ached for food.

"Girls, the world is ending. Food is the least of our worries." Narumi scolded.

Tamaki was looking out of the window of the parking garage, checking for any other monsters and flinched when he saw what looked to be furry orange and yellow toads with black spikes on their backs hopping out of the lake.

He made a gesture for everyone to be quiet and then looked back outside to see that a van was driving by, but then was attacked by the digimon.

It made him worry that the people inside would be hurt, but then a swarm of bats flew out of a tree and gathered around the toads that turned into data, so the bats flew off with the data.

The people inside, a man and his two sons that were Jun's and Daisuke's ages, popped their heads out of the windows to see what had happened before the father stepped out and pushed the van back up, the eldest son helping him.

Once the van was righted, they got back inside and then drove off in the direction the bats had gone in which confused the blood red haired man.

"I think we can leave now." Tamaki turned back to his family.

"Good, let's go look for anyone else who escaped." Narumi said.

They got back into the car and drove out of their hiding spot, searching for other humans when suddenly the screen on the radio showed the time was six minutes and six seconds past six o'clock, then suddenly a huge figure appeared at the TV station.

"What is that thing?" Jun gasped.

Guilmon was snarling at the sight of the evil digimon while Daisuke looked up to see the giant was looking over, the waves of darkness radiating off of him were strong enough that she could feel them.

"Maybe it's Myotismon. He looks like an evil boss." Tamaki said.

"Who cares? Drive away from that thing quickly." Narumi ordered.

Just then, they saw two angels flew by them, one a woman and the other a male while that van from before drove by them.

Daisuke leaned over when she thought she saw Kari and Tai inside, but didn't see them properly when the van got further away going right for the monster.

"What are they doing?" Narumi asked.

"Going to get themselves killed." Jun quipped.

Tamaki parked the car as they watched as the angels and more digimon seemed to be attacking the giant and losing.

After a while, they saw that the angels both had lights beam up at them as they transformed into arrows that they shot at something.

Orange and blue lights then shone as two new cyborg digimon took to the air and started helping the angels fight as more digimon rushed in to help out.

"Oh no, they're losing." Daisuke gasped as she threw the door open and started running.

"Daisuke, get back here!" Narumi cried.

"Daisukemon, wait for me!" Guilmon said as he ran after her.

Suddenly, multicolored lights shot up at the giant, wrapping around him to hold him down and this made Daisuke stop as she watched the giant fight them off.

Worrying that the beast would be freed, Daisuke closed her eyes.

"I wish there was something I could do." She whispered while Guilmon whined sadly.

Suddenly, a bright red light tinged with gold shone from her pendant making her look down at it as the mark glowed.

The light then shot off towards the beast, hitting him in the waist where his inner evil was poking its head out, tying it up and made the giant freeze as he cried out in anger.

Then, the orange cyborg flew up as the blue cyborg tossed a sphere at him that the orange on kicked at the beast, then created what appeared to be a ball of fire in his claws and threw the large orb at the beast, making scream in pain as he was slowly deleted.

"Wow, he's gone." Daisuke breathed.

"Yay, we can go home now!" Guilmon cheered.

Narumi, Tamaki and Jun ran over, all of them happy about this but then Jun stopped when she spotted something strange in the sky when it became dark.

"Daisuke, don't you ever do something reckless like that again." Narumi scolded as she hugged her daughter.

"Sorry, but I wanted to help." The girl apologized.

"And you did or at least your necklace did. So that came out of the computer, huh?" Tamaki looked at the pendant.

"Yep. At least that monster is gone now." Daisuke smiled.

"Um, what is that?" Jun asked pointing at the sky.

They all looked up and gasped when they saw an island in the sky, Guilmon looking it over and purred in curiosity at the sight.

"I think that's my world." He said.

"You're world?" Jun asked in awe at the sight.

"It's lovely, but why is it upside-down in the sky?" Narumi asked as she brushed her long blonde hair back.

"I don't know. I was last there when I was an egg. It feels familiar, but that's all I know. Daisukemon has been my home since I was born." Guilmon held a claw to his lips as he looked thoughtful.

Looking up, the family saw that a plane was in the sky and then started falling, so a red bird digimon flew up to stop it from crashing, but it was too heavy, so she digivolved into a larger red bird with arms and legs and was able to hold it up.

A large purple bug then flew up to help her, but was stopped when a red beetle flew past him and attacked another plane, making t begin to fall out of the sky so the purple bug fired off an attack to make the beetle back off, but it went right through him.

Quickly digivolving into a maroon colored bug that was much larger, the bug helped the bird get the people to safety, all of them going down out of the planes and into life rafts.

"I don't think I can handle this drama." Narumi groaned as she held her head.

"At least we've been lucky." Tamaki smiled to lighten the mood but it just made Narumi glare at the redheaded man as she smacked him over the head.

"Ooh, pretty lights." Guilmon cooed.

Wanting to know what he meant, the family looked up to see rainbow colored lights in the sky which confused them.

"I wonder what's going on now." Jun mused.

"Maybe it's those other kids with digimon. They must've been the ones fighting Myotismon and now they're trying to fix whatever's going on now." Daisuke suggested.

"Why do children have to deal with these dangers? Can't an adult do it? It doesn't seem fair. What idiot decided it was a good idea to send kids off to their deaths? I swear, if I ever meet that person, I'll make them pray for death when I'm done with them." The tan skinned woman growled as she punched her fist into her palm.

Tamaki, Jun, Daisuke and Guilmon smartly took a step back from the enraged woman, not wanting to have her full anger thrown at them.

Turning their attention back to the sky, they saw that there were figures in the rainbow floating upwards as the rainbow began to dissolve under their feet.

"Whoever those kids are, I hope their digimon friends take good care of them." Tamaki said.

Watching the sky, they saw that one by one, parts of the island began to dissolve and disappear until it all went black and then the sky returned to normal.

It happened so quickly that it shocked them, making them wonder if time was sped up in the Digital World while no time passed in their own.

"They did it!" Jun cheered.

"Yes, we're not gonna die!" Tamaki jumped up and down happily.

"Daisuke, you wish you could have helped them, don't you?" Narumi asked.

"Well, yeah. It doesn't seem fair that they were in danger while I was safe." Daisuke said.

Narumi smiled at her daughter while her other daughter and husband celebrated, Guilmon going over and held hands with them as they danced in a circle.

"Maybe you'll meet them one day. I'm sure they'd love to be friends with you and Guilmon being around others of his kind would be good for him." Narumi said.

Smiling at this, Daisuke hugged her mother as they then looked over to their family who were safe and happy with the dangers gone.

Looking back up at the sky, Daisuke wished that she would one day find out what her purpose was now that she didn't help save the world.

(A month later…)

Sitting in the living room, Daisuke was with Guilmon petting his back as he rested on the couch, snoring away.

Jun was mixing some eggs for an omelet while Narumi and Tamaki were out working.

"Hey Dais, aren't you going to hang out with Kari today?" Jun asked her sister as she walked into the living.

She was dressed in a green tank top with jean shorts and had on white socks while she held a mixing bowl in her arms as she stirred the eggs inside.

Looking over at her sister, the little girl shook her head.

She was dressed in a black skirt with a light red colored tank top while she had on dark red socks with tiny pink hearts on them.

"Kari's going to a birthday party today." Daisuke told her.

"You weren't invited?" Jun asked with a quirked eyebrow.

Her sister shook her head again and that made Jun scowl at the thought that her sister was left out of the fun.

The only friends she had were Kari, Tai and Sora and the only party she went to was Sora's birthday and it ended badly.

Tai had gotten Sora a pair of pretty hairclips, but they then got into an argument over it and Jun was quick to grab her sister and leave before things got ugly.

Jun had told Tai to apologize even though he didn't know what he had done wrong, but after getting whacked over the head by the magenta haired girl, he decided to do it.

Sadly, Sora was being stubborn and refused to talk to him no matter how many times he called, even Jun had tried to help, but the orangette still wouldn't talk to Tai.

"Oh well. Breakfast should be done soon." Jun sighed as she gave her sister a smile.

Nodding at this, Daisuke got up and smiled at Guilmon as he rested away and she walked over to the table where the laptop was located.

"How about I put on some music?" she asked.

"Sounds good. Maybe it'll wake Guilmon up. I swear, that guy could sleep through an earthquake." Jun joked.

Turning the laptop on, Daisuke went on Youtube, but was stunned when the screen went white and the image of a white and brown digi egg appeared and it made her eyes go wide.

"Oh no. Jun, you might wanna see this." The girl called.

"Hmm? Why, what's wrong?" Jun asked as she took some peppers, ham and cheese out of the fridge.

"There's a digi egg on the computer. Again." Daisuke sighed.

Gasping lightly at this, Jun set the ingredients on the counter and walked over and saw the digi egg on the screen and stared in wonder.

"Is there going to be another digimon coming out?" Jun asked.

"I don't know. Something feels off about this one." Daisuke frowned.

The digi egg then seemed to be moving and cracks appeared on it.

"Uh oh. It looks like it's hatching." Jun said.

As the egg cracked open, it revealed a large yellow eye that looked at them making the sisters gasp.

"Hello!" the digimon greeted as a word box appeared with the word 'Hello!' written on it.

"This doesn't look good." Jun said.

She then went back to cooking while Daisuke stared at the baby digimon on the screen that looked like a blue jellyfish with one large eye.

Guilmon soon woke up when he smelt the food cooking and he gave a loud yawn as he walked over to his human.

"Daisukemon, what's wrong?" the dinosaur asked.

"Um, there's a digimon on the internet." Daisuke said as she showed him the screen.

Guilmon's gold eyes went wide in surprise as he stared at the creature, unsure of what it was, but he then snarled at the sight of the digimon.

"If that doesn't say the little critter is bad, then I don't know what will." Jun said as she placed a plate down in front of the dinosaur.

The laptop then beeped making the trio stare at the screen to see the digimon was transforming.

"What's going on?" Jun asked.

"It's digivolving!" Guilmon exclaimed.

In the place of the jellyfish was a blue creature that looked like a hand with claws and two antennas.

"Is he sending us an e-mail? How does he even know how to do that?" Jun asked as they read the word box.

"I'm hungry. I'm not surprised. Digimon are bottomless pits." Daisuke commented making Jun chuckle.

"What's he doing?" Guilmon pointed at the screen.

Turning their attention to the screen, they saw rows of computer data and the digimon was devouring it in a rapid pace.

"He's eating computer data! This doesn't seem good." Jun frowned.

"Why not?" Daisuke asked.

"He could destroy the internet. I'm calling Mom and Dad to warn them about this." Jun said as she grabbed the phone.

Guilmon snarled again at the digimon while Daisuke watched in worry, her hand gripping her pendant, seeking comfort from it.

Jun dialed the number for her father's place of work and then held the phone to her ear.

"We're sorry, but the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later." A man's voice said.

"Oh no. I forgot. The phone lines are connected to the internet. We can't call for any help." Jun said as she hung up.

"Great. How are we supposed to deal with this guy? I hope the Digidestineds know what's going on. If not, we're doomed." Daisuke frowned as she stared at the digimon.

"Maybe there's something on the news about this." Jun suggested.

Walking over to the TV, Jun turned it on as Daisuke carried the laptop over to the couch while Guilmon followed her.

"In super markets all over the city, computer systems are failing causing congestion at the registers. And now for the weather." The newsman said.

"The digimon is eating computer data all over the place." Guilmon said.

"Oh great. He just digivolved again. Where are the stupid Digidestineds when ya need them?" Daisuke glared at the screen.

The Rookie level digimon reminded the trio of an insect and a jester due to the large eyes and the orange collar around his neck while he had long arms and long antennas.

"My name is Keramon." He said.

"Well, Keramon, it's a pleasure to meet you. Now would ya stop eating the internet?" Jun frowned at him.

"What do we do now?" Daisuke asked.

"I say we just sit here and watch. I'm sure the Digidestineds are trying to find a way to get onto the internet and defeat Keramon. Hopefully they'll do it before he's the size of that Myotismon guy." Jun mentally shivered at the memory.

Walking into the kitchen, Jun grabbed the plates of omelets and brought them over to her sister and Guilmon.

Reluctantly, the trio started to eat as they stared at the screen, seeing Keramon eating a stream of data.

Suddenly, two new digimon arrived; one being an orange dinosaur that looked exactly like the one Daisuke had seen when she was four years old while the second digimon was a lady bug.

"Hey, look, I think the Digidestineds are starting the fight." Jun smiled.

"Finally!" Guilmon smiled as the bug electrocuted Keramon.

The dinosaur then shot balls of fire at Keramon and the digimon smirked as a word box appeared.

"'So you like to play games, huh?' That doesn't sound good." Jun commented.

"Agumon digivolve too…"

"Tentomon digivolve too…"

The trio gasped as they saw two digivices appear on the screen as the two Rookies were covered in light and transformed.

"GREYMON!"

"KABUTERIMON!"

"That…was…awesome." Jun said.

Greymon and Kabuterimon pushed themselves off the wall and sailed over at Keramon who shot these red balls at the two Champions making them separate as the blasts hit the wall.

Kabuterimon shot lightening at Keramon while Greymon blasted fire at him, bot attacks hitting making Guilmon, Daisuke and Jun cheer.

"Keramon digivolve too…INFERMON!"

As the smoke cleared, it revealed a red and white arachnid digimon with a horn on his head.

Infermon chuckled as he then shot off after Greymon and Kabuterimon, but they dived to the side and then shot their attacks at him.

The hard shell that Infermon had protected him against the attacks and sailed right by them.

"This is really starting to suck." Jun said.

"I think Infermon's too strong for them." Daisuke said in worry.

"They need to digivolve again." Guilmon told them.

Just as he said this, images of the digivices appeared on the screen again, but one was orange while the other was purple and they shot out strange symbols.

The symbols hit the digimon and they began to transform.

"Not so fast." Infermon growled as he charged at them.

"Greymon digivolve too…"

"They better hurry!" Jun gasped.

Just as the two digimon finished digivolving, Infermon blasted out his attack at them making them cry out and they reverted back to their Rookie forms.

Laughing at his victory as an Exit door appeared and Infermon walked through it.

"I can't believe this. How could this have happened?" Daisuke asked.

Jun took the laptop away from her sister and set it down on the coffee table and started typing away, surprised at what she found.

"Hey, look, there's an e-mail address. We can message the Digidestineds fighting right now." She revealed.

"Tell them to get some help. They can't do this alone." Daisuke said.

"Really? I prefer saying 'Save the world because if we all die, I'll gonna kill you morons.'" Jun grinned.

Guilmon and Daisuke gave her a look and she pouted at them.

"Oh, fine. They better listen to us or else we're dead." Jun said as she typed away.

Just as she sent the message, a new word box appeared with the word 'Hello!' being repeated over and over again.

"Huh? Why is Infermon saying hello this much?" Guilmon asked.

"Oh, this is why. Look at the e-mail address. He's locked on into the telephone company and is e-mailing everyone." Jun explained as she pointed at the screen.

"But why is he doing this?" Daisuke asked.

"I think he's looking for someone." Jun frowned.

"Hmm? Looking for who?" Guilmon asked.

"That's what I wanna know." Jun said.

Just then, the phone rang making the trio jump and yelp in shock.

Calming down, Daisuke stood up and rushed over to the white cordless phone and picked it up, answering it.

"Hello, Motomiya residence." She greeted.

"Hello. Did you program me?" Infermon's voice asked and then he laughed.

Shocked at being called by him, Daisuke lowered the phone and turned to her sister and partner.

"What? Who was it?" Jun asked.

"Infermon." The girl told them.

Guilmon snarled in anger at this while Jun took the phone away and set it down, hoping the monster wouldn't call again.

Looking down at her sister, Jun picked her up and carried her over to the couch and set her down, hoping the Digidestineds would find a way to take Infermon out.

"Maybe we should take a break from watching this. It's not really helping to calm us down." Jun said as she curled up with her sister on the couch.

Guilmon got up and walked over to the window, staring outside to see the people walking around staring at their cellphones and street lights.

Images of Infermon were reflected on them and it made the dinosaur wary of what was going on.

The laptop beeped making the sisters look at it to see Infermon had sent another message.

"Now what does he want?" Daisuke asked.

"Let's see. 'I'm close to him.'" Jun read the message.

"Close to him? Close to who? Where is he?" Daisuke asked.

"Whoa, check this address. He's in America!" Jun gasped.

"He doesn't even have a passport!" Guilmon said.

"Who is he looking for in America?" Daisuke asked.

"I don't know. Dais, what did Infermon say when he called us?" Jun asked as she looked at her sister.

"Um, he asked me if I was the programmer. I'm not sure what that means." The girl said.

Jun frowned as she held her chin in thought, thinking this over.

Guilmon crooned as he looked at her curiously, wondering what she was thinking about.

"Junmon, what's wrong?" he asked her.

"I'm just thinking. What if someone…created Infermon? Maybe that's what he's trying to do. Find the person who created him." Jun theorized.

Daisuke and Guilmon stared at her in shock, wondering how she figured this out from the information they had gathered.

"Jun, you're the smartest person I've ever met." Daisuke said as Guilmon nodded in agreement.

"I know I am." Jun smiled.

Turning back to the screen, they saw that Agumon and Tentomon had been joined by two new digimon.

One looked to be reptilian and also canine with a yellow body and a blue stripped fur he wore with floppy ears and a gold horn.

The second was a guinea pig who was orange and beige with bat wings for ears.

They were in an area with steel beams that were scattered all over the place and Infermon was standing on one while a large pink arrow was pointing at him.

"I'm looking for the programmer. Don't interfere." He warned.

"He's teasing them." Jun frowned.

"They better digivolve now." Daisuke narrowed her eyes.

Just as she said this, Agumon and the canine digimon were covered in orange and blue light as they began to digivolve and images of their other evolutions were shown.

"Agumon…"

"Gabumon…"

"Warp Digivolve too…"

They then became the two cyborg digimon who had taken out Myotismon and it made the trio gasp in awe and hope at the sight of the dinosaur and wolf.

"WARGREYMON!"

"METALGARURUMON!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes, yes, yes!" Jun jumped up and down while Daisuke and Guilmon held hands as they bounced for joy, laughing.

Infermon tried to crawl away, but WarGreymon punched him in the face while MetalGarurumon pounced off of the beam and slashed his claws at Infermon making him spin in the air.

Just then, the smallest digimon was covered in light.

"Patamon digivolve too…"

Seeing this, Infermon shot off after the creature as he was covered in light.

"Infermon digivolve too…DIABOROMON!"

The newly evolved insect digimon had long green limbs with large claws and had blue armour with creepy orange eyes and a mane of orange hair.

Diaboromon then stretched his arm out and hit Patamon, pinning him to the beam and knocked him out.

"Oh no, the poor thing!" Daisuke gasped.

"What a creep!" Jun glared.

Tentomon then flew over to help Patamon, but he was pinned down by Diaboromon's other claw.

Growling in anger, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon charged off after Diaboromon, the wolf firing off his missiles at the monster, but they didn't harm him as he revealed a cannon on his chest and shot the blast at the wolf.

WarGreymon charged out of the smoke and Diaboromon launched his claw at WarGreymon, breaking the weapons on his arms, but the dinosaur punched Diaboromon in the face.

As the fight went on, Diaboromon suddenly gained a new speed and blasted the two digimon, raining down attacks on them that destroyed their armour, injuring them.

Jun, Daisuke and Guilmon stared in horror at the massacre going on before them and finally, the two digimon were unconscious as Diaboromon took off into a new Exit.

"Oh, this is awful." Jun held a hand over her mouth.

Tears were streaming down Daisuke's face while Guilmon rubbed his nose against her head, trying to comfort her.

The pendant around the girl's neck gave a light glow of red as Diaboromon's face appeared on the screen and he had a clock on his chest.

"Go back to the beginning." He rasped.

"What is going on now?" Jun asked.

"Look, another e-mail." Guilmon pointed.

They all looked at the word box and read it as the words were typed in.

"Who can count backwards from ten?" Daisuke read.

On the screen, Diaboromon then seemed to be multiplying, first by twos, then fours, sixes and it seemed to continue on while a timer was shown, counting down from 10.

"He's multiplying. Oh, man. One was bad enough. Imagine what a whole army can do." Jun groaned.

"I don't wanna." Guilmon shook his head.

Looking at the window, Daisuke gasped when she saw something in the sky outside.

Standing up, she ran over to the window and stared outside as she slid the balcony door open and ran outside.

There was a missile up in the sky and seemed to be heading for their area.

"Jun! Guilmon!" she yelled.

The duo quickly ran outside to see what the girl was yelling at them for.

"What's wrong?" Jun asked.

The girl simply pointed to the sky making Jun and Guilmon look up into the sky and yelled in shock at the sight of the missile.

"Did Diaboromon do that?!" Jun asked.

"We're dead, we're dead, we are so dead!" Daisuke yelled as she ran inside.

"Don't worry, Daisukemon, Junmon. I'm sure WraGreymon and MetalGarurumon will stop him." Guilmon assured.

Walking inside the room, they sat down on the couch and stared at the laptop screen to see WraGreymon and MetalGarurumon were now surrounded by the millions of copies of Diaboromon.

"Don't interfere." The copies all repeated.

The copies all turned towards WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, then started blasting their cannons at them, injuring the digimon further.

Pieces of their armour started to break off or was destroyed as they cried out in pain from the attacks as the sisters and dinosaur watched in horror.

"They're slowing down." Guilmon said.

"They must be getting weaker." Jun commented.

"What's going to happen now?" Daisuke asked.

After a few minutes, the copies stopped attacking the two digimon and they simply laid there, too hurt to even move.

Jun held her sister as she cried, both girls scared that the two digimon were dead and the world would be destroyed.

Guilmon stared at the screen as he saw two human boys float down from two portals that opened up, white lights shining down on the digimon.

Blinking in confusion, Guilmon poked his partner making her look at him.

"What's wrong?" she asked him.

"Look. Two humans showed up." Guilmon pointed.

Confused, the girls looked at the screen to see the two human boys, one being a blonde with azure colored eyes and the last was a boy with wild brown hair and brown eyes while he wore goggles.

"Is...Is that Tai?" Jun gasped.

"No way! That can't be him." Daisuke shook her head.

They both then listened to what was happening when they saw the boys were talking.

"Listen, I don't have a whistle to wake you, but I want you to know you're not alone. Okay? And the mail keeps coming, it won't stop. Kids from all over the world are writing to you. They need your help. You're the only one who can do it. Feel their hope, feel their strength." The brunette said.

WarGreymon coughed as his eyes seemed to glow.

"I feel them." He said.

Daisuke's pendant then gave off a light golden glow as the images of children appeared on the screen and the souls of the children covered WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon.

"What in the-?" Daisuke gasped.

"They combined." Jun blinked her chocolate eyes.

The golden light took on the form of an egg as the two digimon fused together and soon the light started to fade away to reveal the newly fused digimon.

He appeared to be a knight who was dressed in white armour with a blue cape and had one arm that had Wargreymon's head while the other arm had MetalGarurumon,s head.

"Part WarGreymon and part MetalGarurumon." Guilmon blinked.

"They digivolved together to become…" Jun trailed off.

"OMNIMON!" the digimon declared as he moved his cape away to reveal the two boys on his shoulders.

The Diaboromons all then started blasting their cannons at Omnimon making the two boys look around at the blasts, bracing themselves for impact.

Omnimon then used his Transcendent Sword and waved it at the blasts, deflecting them and sending them back at the Diaboromons, taking out part of the swarm.

"Yes!" the sisters cheered as they held hands.

The knight then used his Supreme Cannon and took out more of the Diaboromons who were now trying to run away for cover.

Soon enough, there was only one left and he was jumping around, trying to get away from Omnimon as the knight tried to kill him.

"Oh no. Omnimon better hurry. We only have one minute to go." Jun said.

"And then we're dead." Daisuke bit her bottom lip.

"He's too fast for them." Guilmon growled.

"How do they slow him down?" Daisuke asked.

They watched on as Diaboromon continued to jump around, but paused on the wall when he suddenly cried out in pain.

An hourglass was shown on him, showing that he was having a hard time moving.

Hearing the sound, Omnimon turned to face him and charged at him, his sword held as he charged at Diaboromon.

Seeing he was about to be impaled, Diaboromon's cannon opened and was ready to fire, but Omnimon was too fast and stabbed his sword through his chest.

"Connection…terminated." Diaboromon groaned.

He then melted away, revealing broken clock.

"Willis…" Diaboromon's voice echoed.

The timer was stuck on one second and then the phone rang making Jun get up and grabbed the phone.

"Hello? Hi, Dad! Yeah, we watched the battle too. No, we're fine. Okay, hurry home. Love you too." Jun said.

As she hung up, she couldn't help but feel relieved at hearing her worrywart father's voice obsessing over them.

"Well, the phones are working again." She smiled.

"Yeah. Wait, what about the missile?" Daisuke asked.

Sharing a look, the sisters and dinosaur ran over to the balcony and stared up at the sky, unaware that two boys were on the balcony beside them, staring up at the sky as well.

The missile then fell through the sky and landed in the lake in front of the building, sending a wave of water up.

People were staring at the missile in disbelief and watched as the missile fell to the side, crashing in the water sending up another wave.

"I'm…about…to barf." Someone croaked.

Shoving Guilmon back into the apartment, the two girls looked over to see Tai and a boy with red hair gripping on the railing as they stared at the missile.

"Wait till you try the cake." Tai groaned.

"Hi Tai!" Daisuke waved making the two boys look at him.

"Did you talk to Sora yet?" Jun asked.

Tai simply groaned as he banged his head on the railing making the redhead sigh while the girls laughed.

Turning around, the girls went back into their apartment to see Guilmon was sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Wow, the end doesn't end and he decides to watch TV. Boys." Jun rolled her eyes making Daisuke laugh.

The girls sat down on the couch beside the dinosaur, watching the new episode of Yu-Gi-Oh GX as they waited for their parents to get home.

When Tamaki and Narumi did get home, the redhead hugged his two daughters tightly and Sora had posted a picture of herself wearing the hairclips that Tai bought her.

(A year later…)

Narumi was getting tired of her job of being a waitress and she then decided to quit her job and stay at home to watch over Guilmon so he didn't destroy the house from boredom.

Tamaki was a bit upset about being the only working parent, but got over it as he decided to get more fixated on his work as a music producer.

Jun had joined the cheerleading team at school and loved being able to be as hyper as she wanted and jumped around to cheer people on and got to see cute boys all the time.

Not only that but it allowed her to see Tai and Sora who were on the soccer team and Daisuke had recently joined it while Kari had gained an interest in photography and took pictures of the four at games.

At the moment, Daisuke was fresh out of the shower, her hair still damp as she brushed it out while she was dressed in a baby blue tank top with a red butterfly on the front while her matching pants had tiny red butterflies on them.

Guilmon was sitting next to her looking at a picture book that had words next to it, Narumi forcing him to learn how to read.

Just then, Daisuke's digivice started to beep making her and the dinosaur look at it on the desk while the girl got up and walked over to it.

"Now what's going on?" she asked.

"I don't know." Guilmon said.

The computer she had gotten for her room then started to glow along with the digivice and the duo were pulled into the computer, both gasping at the strange sensation of transporting to a new world.

On the other side, they found themselves at the edge of a forest and in front of a lake.

"Wow, you okay, Daisukemon?" Guilmon asked.

"When the rest of my organs catch up to my body, I'll let you know." Was her response she gave him.

Looking around curiously, Daisuke then looked back at the TV behind her, unsure of how they were pulled into this strange world.

"Where are we?" she asked.

Guilmon sniffed at the air, his eyes widening in shock.

"I smell digimon. All around us." He announced.

"Wait, we're in the Digital World? How could that be possible?" Daisuke asked in shock.

Just then, the lake seemed to move and a staircase was shown as a man with long brown hair, tanned skin and sky blue eyes dressed in a white robe walked out.

He smiled at the duo softly while they stared at him unsurely.

"Hello Daisuke Motomiya and Guilmon. It's a pleasure to finally meet you both." He greeted the duo.

"How did you know our names?" Daisuke asked as Guilmon growled warningly at the man.

"Calm yourselves. I am Gennai, a Guardian of the Digital World. Also, I'm one of the many other Guardians who helped create the digivices and the Crests." He said pointing at the objects that the girl had.

Gasping in surprise, the duo looked at them and then back at the man.

"Please, come into my home and we may continue this further." Gennai offered.

Giving him a wary look, Daisuke nodded as she and Guilmon walked down the stairs and Gennai followed after them.

What they found was an underwater home that looked like an old Japanese styled house with paper sliding doors and a stone garden.

The man led them inside and they sat down at a table, Guilmon marveling at the large fish tank that had so many colorful fish inside of it.

"Okay, start talking. What is this thing and why was I given Guilmon, not that I'm complaining." The mahogany haired girl said.

Gennai smiled at them as he clasped his hands and stared at the duo who watched him curiously.

"Remember when the battle between Greymon and Parrotmon happened five years ago? Well it was done as a test. We analyzed the children who watched the battle to see if they had the special type of abilities to make digimon digivolve. Two digi eggs were sent out, one going to you while the other went to two siblings. The nine of you kids passed the test and we established you could make the digimon digivolve with your energies, so we created the Crests that represented your virtues and you became the human forms of them." Gennai explained.

"These Crests are Courage, Friendship, Hope, Light, Reliability, Love, Sincerity and Knowledge. Recently another child was found out to be the child of Kindness, but he's disappeared from our radar for some reason." Gennai said looking worried about this.

"Okay, wait, when did these kids get their Crests?" Daisuke asked.

"A year ago along with their digimon." Gennai answered.

"Huh? But I had my Crest and partner since that day five years ago! Why is that?" Daisuke asked looking shocked.

"I'm not sure, but Guilmon is a rare digimon. He is also known to be very dangerous. Your Crest is created from the powers of the evils of the Digital World and the good; the Crimson Hazard and the Golden Radiance." The man said pointing at the Crest.

Looking down at her Crest, Daisuke held it as she felt the powers of good and evil inside of it and it somehow kept her calm.

"So, what is Daisukemon's Crest?" Guilmon asked.

"It's the Crest of Harmony." Gennai smiled.

The dinosaur cooed in interest as he looked at the Crest, nudging his partner gently.

"But why did I get it and Guilmon earlier than the others and didn't get called to the Digital World with the other kids to help them?" Daisuke asked.

"It was for your own safety. If Guilmon was found by evil, they could force him into digivolving into his Mega form and it would be an evil, unstoppable beast. You were given your Crest early to keep you both off the radar of Myotismon, the Dark Masters and Apocalymon since Harmony controls the powers of evil and good, thus blocking you from not only their side, but our side as well. You also have a pure heart, so sending Guilmon to you early would ensure he had a good influence making it harder for their side to turn him evil." Gennai explained.

Groaning at the overload of information, Daisuke massaged her temples as she felt the pain of a headache.

Gennai smiled gently at the girl as he poured her a cup of tea, happy to see she wasn't biting his head off like he had first thought she would.

"I know this is a lot to process, but you'll get used to it. One day you will understand why you were chosen as a Digidestined and you will do great things." He said.

She looked at him with a blank look.

"My mother wants to kill you. I hope you know that." She stated.

This made the man go pale when he saw how serious she was, her eyes were very expressive and showed what she was feeling.

"Oh, maybe I should meet with your family to explain things to them." Gennai suggested.

"Nuh uh. If Mom hears you're the one who made kids responsible for saving the world from monsters that tried to kill them, she'll kill you." Daisuke said.

And just as she predicted, the second Gennai told the Motomiyas who he was and his role in the Digital World, Narumi ran at him with a frying pan while Tamaki tried to hold his wife back as Jun, Daisuke and Guilmon sat back watching in slight amusement.

(A few months later…)

It was Christmas day and the Motomiya family were celebrating it happily, Jun dressed in her pink cotton pajamas while Daisuke was dressed in a blue nightgown while Narumi wore a pair of green pajamas and Tamaki wore orange ones.

Guilmon was wearing a Santa Claus hat, giggling as he was handed a present with bright colored paper.

He became interested in the bow and when he sniffed at it, the bow was attached to his nose making the sisters giggle as Narumi took pictures.

"Wow, I love it." Jun smiled as she opened her present to find a new dress inside.

"Hey, look, Guilmon. It's a new soccer ball." Daisuke held the red and black colored ball.

"Ooh, I got chocolate." The dinosaur cheered as he held up the gingerbread man shaped chocolate bar.

"Just what he needs; more sugar." Narumi muttered as she sent her husband a look.

Tamaki grinned at her and held up some mistletoe over their heads making her smirk and roll her eyes before she gently pecked his lips.

There was a knock that made them turn to see Gennai was standing behind them holding a plate with pie on it.

"Merry Christmas, Motomiya family." He greeted.

"Gennai, what are you doing here?" Jun asked while Narumi glared at the man.

The woman knew how to hold a grudge, but had eased up on him as time passed.

She mostly glared at him just for amusement when she saw he almost flinched back from her and tried not to get her mad at him.

It was funny, not only to her, but to everyone else in the Motomiya clan as they watched.

"I thought I'd come visit and offer some pie. I baked it myself." Gennai held out the pie.

Tamaki smiled as he walked over and took it from him.

"Thanks. So what do you have planned for the holidays?" he asked.

"Work." The Guardian said.

"Work? But it's Christmas. Don't you have any family or friends to spend it with?" Jun asked.

"No, I'm afraid the Dark Masters took them all out." Gennai spoke with a sad smile.

Everyone was silent at that, Guilmon's ears lowered as he whined sadly.

Biting her lip in thought, Daisuke stood up and walked over to the man.

"Well, why don't you spend it with us?" she offered.

Gennai looked at her in surprise while Tamaki smiled and Jun nodded as Guilmon cooed happily.

"Um, I'm not sure that's a good idea. I wouldn't want to impose." Gennai held his hands up.

"Nonsense. You're staying." Narumi said as she stood up.

"Are you sure it wouldn't trouble you?" Gennai asked.

"I'm sure. Now, come help me make some hot chocolate. Girls, Guilmon, you can continue opening your presents." Narumi said.

Nodding, the trio went back to tearing off the paper of their gifts while Tamaki laughed gleefully as he took off the big bows and ribbons, then stuck them on Guilmon.

Jun and Daisuke dressed the dinosaur up in old winter clothes to disguise him as a human child, then took him outside to play in the snow.

Gennai stayed for Christmas dinner and enjoyed himself as the Motomiyas welcomed him into the family for the day, but Narumi still acted mad at him just to get a laugh while Daisuke rolled her eyes at that.

Afterwards, the Guardian left and thanked the family for their kindness, then left back home happy.

Guilmon was in bed, yawning big from the long day he had as his partner curled up under the covers with him.

"Merry Christmas, buddy." She smiled petting his head.

"Merry Christmas, Daisukemon." He purred.

They both then leaned up and soon fell asleep, the events of the day flitting across their minds happily.
