AN: Hi guys! I'm back with my own version of the upcoming Digimon Adventure Tri! Why? Simple, because I know that it's very unlikely that the 02 characters will appear in Tri., so I decided to include them in this version of mine.

There won't be any couples directly in your face, only hints of Sorato and Takesuke, so if neither of those is your cup of tea, the back button is right there.

That being said, for ages, they will be mostly the same. Daisuke and Ken will be Takeru and Hikari's age, Miyako will be a year older and Iori will be three years younger than Daisuke, Ken and the angel duo.

Oh, I will be using the Japanese names since Tri. will, naturally, come out in Japanese first so it would only make sense to use the original names. If you don't remember the original names or do not want to read a fic that doesn't use the dub nicknames, once again, the back button is your friend.

While I dislike some character, there won't be any bashing either. So if you dislike Daisuke (or someone else) and expect to see him/her/them bashed in this fic, third time's the charm, the back button is here yet again.

Now, if you are still with me by now, let the adventure begin...

Prologue

... during a bright summer day ...

"Guys!" a girl called, running towards a group of people, some her age, some older and some younger. The girl whore a light blue jacket and a dark blue skirt, to match the school uniform of one of the other girls and the male version, which some of the boys were wearing. The girl's name was Tachikawa Mimi. Age, seventeen. On top of that, Mimi was a Chosen Child, one of the carefully picked children, ready to defend both worlds. "I'm sorry if I'm late!" Mimi spoke cheerfully, as she sat down carefully next to the other girl, whose name was Takenouchi Sora. Sora, who had been talking to her boyfriend, Ishida Yamato, smiled at her and chuckled slightly.

"No, no, Mimi-chan... you didn't miss anything." she grinned, her eyes slowly moving over Hikari chiding Daisuke and Takeru. "Some of us were a bit late too..."

"Is that so?" Mimi looked at them and had to giggle as Hikari muttered something, turning to face her Digimon partner, as light blushes adorned the duo's faces. She wondered what that was about...

"Everyone." Koushiro began speaking loudly, gaining everyone's attention. "Now that we all gathered here, I would like to announce something."

"What is it, Koushiro-san?" Ken spoke, from his spot on Daisuke's right. They were all sitting in a pretty big circle, Mimi noted, but she did wonder why Takeru had decided to sit next to the former gogglehead, rather than Hikari, who had moved back to her seat between Miyako and Koushiro himself. Did they have a fight?

"Mimi-san, if you could pay me some attention.." Koushiro's slightly embrassed voice reached Mimi's ears and she looked at him, waving her hands in a sorry fashion.

"Alright, now that I know that I have everyone's attention..." the resident computer genius sighed. "... there is a reason why I called you all here..."

"I thought it was the anniversary today, Koushiro-san?" Iori, Koushiro's little kouhai in more ways than one, asked, a frown adorning his small face as he clutched his partner, Upamon, in his arms.

"It is." Hikari spoke, kindly looking at Iori. "August 1st. But I'm sure that Koushiro-san meant something else..."

"You'd be correct, Hikari-chan." Koushiro was beginning to get annoyed by all the interruptions. "Now, than... I have received a message from Gennai."

The reactions he got were mixed.

Taichi, Yamato and Sora were shocked, Hikari was blinking, Daisuke, Takeru and Ken shared a look, Miyako's eyes shone brighter behind her glasses, Jyou gaped, Mimi herself stared and Iori's expression didn't change.

"Is the Digital World ... in ... danger ... again?" Daisuke asked, his voice holding a tinge of worry. Despite what they thought of him, he cared about the Digital World more than anything else. He squeezed a sleeping Chibimon in his arms. He would protect Chibimon's home again, there was no yes' or no's there.

"Yes." Koushiro stated quickly and moved on before anyone could exclaim anything. "Gennai, on the other hand, said that it would be more productive if only a select group of us went..."

"In short." Ken cut across him. "He doesn't need all of us."

The rest of the group minus him and Koushiro shared a look. They had to leave some people behind?

"I'm going." Daisuke stated at once. "The Digital World is Chibimon's home and... mine as well, in many ways... there is no way that I will let whatever evil it is in question this time do whatever it wants to do!" Hearing that brave exclamation, Taichi smirked.

"Nothing less expected from my kouhai." he high-fived Yamato, while Sora shook her head at them in a joking manner.

"Alright, Daisuke it is." Koushiro had taken out a pen and paper during Daisuke's small speech. "He told me that no one was obligated to come. You can refuse if you want to, but..."

"If Daisuke is in, so am I." Takeru spoke, Hikari agreeing with the sentiment a second later. They looked at each other surprised as the redhead wrote down their names as well.

"Me too." Mimi, Jyou, Yamato, Sora and Taichi spoke at the same time, chuckling at each other's precise moment. Koushiro noted them down and looked at Ken, Miyako and Iori, the only people who were silent up to this moment.

"Are you not going?" Daisuke's chocolate eyes swept over them, remaining on Ken out of pure shock. "I thought that you'd at least come with us, Ken!"

"I..." the former genius started but Koushiro waved away his answer before looking at the younger bearer of Courage and Friendship.

"It's alright Daisuke. We are at the numbers in which Gennai wanted us anyways."

"So... only nine of us?" Sora inquired in the silence that followed shortly after, looking worriedly between Daisuke's silent figure and Ken's scared one. What was going on between them?

"Yes." Koushiro finished, giving a sigh of relief as he turned back to the trio which would remain behind. "You don't need to go with us, but all I ask you guys to do is protect the Real World, in case something decides to attack it. Also, please move away a bit. I don't know what this type of transportation would do..."

The three nodded and moved away with their Digimon as the ones who will be going gathered in a smaller circle, Taichi's goggles shining in the waning sunlight.

"Hold up your digivices." Koushiro instructed and waited for everyone to do so. Once they did, he looked up, a light blue aurora borealis began to slowly decent upon them. "Hold on thighly onto each other's hands. This might be a bumpy ride!" the genius shouted, the Chosen Children immediately grasping each other's hands in the same order as the one in which they had been sitting.

A second later, the light engulfed them, forcing the Chosen Children to be left behind to only watch as it vanished, along with their friends and their Digimon.

"It will be alright.." Miyako whispered to a worried-looking Ken as Iori looked up at the now clear sky.

Would it, was the question going through all their minds.

AN: This one will be shorter! xD So, like I said, there won't be any real pairings aside from Sorato (which is still very much canon) but there will be hints of Takesuke, which is Takeru x Daisuke (as such yaoi/boy's love) and while this chapter held slight hints towards Daiken, Takari and Daikari, those were all friends moments. Any romantic implications were just Mimi being Mimi. R&R if you liked it! :)
