Well, here is the sequel. Thank you to all of you who think so much of its predecessor to read this. For those of you just joining us, this is PART 2. There will be no explanation or beginning summary. You can continue to read this story if you want, but I strongly suggest that you read the first part to make sense of this story. So click on my name at the top, and read the first one.

For those still reading, remember this is a sequel, not a continuation. This story will have to build to its climax, not feed off the action of the first. So, I hope you enjoy.

I do not own Digimon. I do not own its characters either.

First part: not a summary of First Story!

"Joe's personal log: Well, Um . . . Gomamon's been pushing me to do this, but I haven't had the will or the time to until now. It has been a month since our final battle with Dark Jestermon and the Dark Digidestined. It has also been a very busy month, especially for me. I've decided to take the job of Chief Medical Officer for the Digi H.Q. Everyone was pretty much bruised up and scratched up. To tell you the truth, I was seriously thinking of putting both Patamon and T.K. in plastic bubbles. Their injuries were very severe, but they're better now. I've discharged them both against my better judgment. But T.K. has Kari to take care of him, and Patamon has Gatomon. It isn't like anyone in the group didn't see it coming. We were just wondering when it would happen. Those two couples aren't the only ones that have sprung up. It seems Ken and Yolei are now together, and so are Ian and Adrian.

'Actually, little has been seen of Ian, Adrian, or their two partners since the beginning of the month. They had packed early, and were off into the Digital World, just the four of them. But they seem happy, and that's what matters. I just hope they're okay.

'And Yolei and Ken are a couple! I actually saw it happening back at the cave when they were trapped, but it seems now they are in love. They left the Digital World about a week ago. I think they're telling their parents. Yolei's parents will think it's just a fling, but knowing Ken's parents, they'll flip. They're really lucky to have somebody. Though Ken didn't look so well. I asked him what was wrong, but he shrugged it off, and forced a smile. I'm worried about him.

'Tai seemed to be on edge that day after the battle. But I guess after the battle itself, dying once, and nearly dying again took its toll. I told him to take it easy, but he still seemed on edge. At least he has Sora. They have really hooked up over this past month. So have their partners Agumon and Biyomon. But Tai, in the past month, has become more devoted to Sora then ever before. It must have been an eventful morning. I suppose, with Matt out of the way, it's easier.

'Poor Matt. It wasn't an easy time for him. I hope he's okay too. He and Gabumon left that day without saying goodbye to anyone except T.K. I know he's upset over Sora. He still loves her. I don't know. He shouldn't be alone. But the people I would normally tell him to talk to are, of course, Tai and Sora. But he has Gabumon and the two are close.

'On a different note, Izzy has been more enthusiastic about the Digi H.Q. Though Gennai and the others saved it from burning down, it was a total wreck. But Izzy, Tentomon, and Gennai have been working around the clock, redesigning, rebuilding, and remodeling the Digi H.Q. I think that the main structures and rooms are the same, but Izzy has definitely revamped some things. And I know he's excited about it. He called his friend Willis from America to help, and the two of them and their partners have been going at it.

'As for the others, let's see . . . Davis is still trying to get his noodle business together. Well, he's learning all he can before school starts back. But at least he has a goal. And V-mon has supported him all the way.

'Mimi is now enrolled in a chef's school. She seems to enjoy it, but I hear she's adopted a new nickname "The Pink Chef". Poor Mimi. I don't think she'll ever get over her obsession with pink. But her and Palmon trudge on with life, back in America. Rumor has it that she's been talking to Michael again. Who knows how that'll go?

'Cody has gone back home to Japan too. He and Armadillomon are still learning Kendo with Cody's Grandfather. Well . . .Cody is, and Armadillomon's there for the snacks. Ha! I guess some people don't change.

'As for Gomamon and I, we're doing fine. We're not with anyone right now, but again, we have each other. Actually, I have a professor, who is also an old friend of mine coming here today to help me run things until I get a firm hold of what I'm doing. And so he can help me finish my schooling to be a doctor. It's hard to come to and fro from the Digital World and the Real without a Digivice, so he'll have to get used to staying here for a while. But I can complete my schooling credits this year, and finish the rest online for the next few years. Who knew becoming a doctor was so hard? I contacted my old professor, and he agreed to come and teach me. He said he had to bring somebody along, but I haven't met him or her yet. I wonder who it is.

'Well, that's it I guess. The Digi hospital is doing well. I have Geckomon and Otamamon working with me, so it's not lonely. And of course I have Gomamon. I don't know. Maybe I'll do better at this next time. Until then, this is Joe Kito, signing off." Joe cut off the recording, and sat back in his chair, sighing, with his face in his hands. He turned to Gomamon.

"How was that?" Joe asked. Gomamon nodded.

"You did good Joe; just a normal log of your experiences. Years from now, we'll listen to these and laugh. And even years from then, people will be learning from you from these tapes." Gomamon said. Joe's eyes widened.

"Maybe I shouldn't be so personal in those logs." Joe said. Gomamon smiled.

"Relax. It adds a human touch. People will get to know the Digidestined for who they are, not from a history book." Gomamon said. Joe looked at him.

"You actually think they'll remember us?" Joe asked.

"They better, I'm not doing this for nothing!" Gomamon said. The two laughed. Joe looked at his watch.

"Wow, look at the time Gomamon. I have to go pick up Dr. Maynard and his guest." Joe said, heading for the door. Gomamon followed him.

"What is he thinking, bringing another person? Do they know they can't get back to the Digital World without a Digivice? I hope they like it here." Gomamon said.

"The doctor told me they would. He just didn't tell me who it was." Joe said.

"Hmmm. . . ." Gomamon said. "I'm going to find something to eat. I'll catch you later Joe." They exited the Hospital, and entered the Digi H.Q. Joe ran into Tai and Sora.

"Hey Tai . . . Sora! How are you? Where are Biyomon and Agumon?" Joe asked, waving goodbye to Gomamon, who left.

"Fine!" Tai responded.

"They're spending the day together." Sora said sweetly. The three of them entered the 'Transporter room'. Izzy had dubbed that after one of his favorite shows, "Star Trek". It was mainly a channel for traveling to and from the Digital Word. Technically, anyone from a laptop and using a Digivice could travel to anywhere in the Digital World; Izzy had made this route faster, and without all the rough landing.

"Going to the Digital World?" Tai asked. Joe nodded.

"I'm going to meet my new professor." Joe said. Tai nodded.

"That's right, Mr. Maynard." Sora said.

"Actually, Dr. Maynard." Joe corrected. "Where are you two going?"

"To Tai's house. Well, actually we're going to Tai's office. Kari and T.K. are meeting us there, and the four of us are spending a peaceful weekend together at their house." Sora told him.

"We need it." Tai said.

"Are you sure? You still haven't handled things up here." Sora told Tai. Tai had taken up the job of Digimon Liaison. He had been trying to get the best representation possible. He was even hoping for U.N. representation. Tai looked at her strangely.

"Yeah. Nothing is more important than spending time with you." They laughed, and he pecked her on the cheek.

"Anyway, I need to inspect the new office. I might even meet my new assistant, if they found one for me." Joe started setting up the T.V./computer for Gate traveling. It was a flat screen just like the one the Dark Digidestined used.

"Well, this brings back bad memories." Tai said. Joe laughed.

"Yeah, but Izzy assured me it's safe. It's nothing like the Dark Ocean gates. Okay, I've set the coordinates to your computer at your office." Joe said. Tai and Sora nodded.

"What happened to those gates?" Joe asked. Tai looked up.

"Oh, once Izzy's system was up, we located all those gates, and destroyed them." Tai said. Joe nodded.

"And that big one in the Dark Ocean?" Joe asked. Tai shrugged.

"It's still there, but it probably has no power, and no one to use it." Tai told him.

"Oh, so we're sure we've found all of the Dark Digidestined?" Joe asked. It was Sora who nodded this time.

"Yes. All but the leader and Kuri." Sora told him. They hadn't unburied the two from the boulders that had crushed them. It just served as a grave and a memorial to the two dead Dark Digidestined.

"Okay Tai, it's ready. I hope you like the assistant! Good luck on your weekend!" Joe said.

"Why Joe, you need a weekend too. You have worked hard this month." Sora said. Joe smiled at her hospitality.

"I wish I could." Joe said. "But I have a guest coming, and he could teach me a lot about hospitals. Besides, you know about me and breaks." Tai laughed, and held his Digivice to the screen, as did Sora. He and Sora were sucked through and pulled to the Real World. Joe reset the computer, and stood in front of it. He held out his Digivice. Immediately he was sucked through. He pulled out of a laptop. He was in the bedroom of his professor, Dr. Maynard.

"Dr. Maynard?" Joe called out. Joe saw a brown-haired balding man walk into the bedroom. He was shorter than Joe, but he had a small beard and small round glasses.

"Joe? Are we ready to go?" The man said. Joe nodded. The man mumbled something and went back through the doorway. Joe could hear some clattering.

"Professor?" Joe called out.

"Yes?" The professor called back.

"In your message, you said something about a visitor?" Joe said. The professor walked back into the room carrying some traveling bags.

"Yes. I did. Joe Kito, I'd like to introduce you to my daughter: Susan." He said. A small young woman walked through the doorway. She had brown hair like the professor, but she was taller than her father. She had big brown eyes.

"Hello." She said. She had a beautiful smile. Joe stood there in shock.

* * * * *

Tai and Sora appeared into the real world. It was a smoother landing than they were accustomed to, and that in itself surprised them. They even landed on their feet. Tai looked around his office. It was a simple office, with a computer, chairs, and a desk. Suddenly, Tai was reminded of his trip to the Wishing world, where he met that mysterious man. He hadn't told anyone of his trip, not even Sora. Or did he especially make sure Sora didn't know? It didn't matter.

Tai nodded at his inspection. Sora smiled at him. She took his hand and led him out of the office. Since his acceptance to the liaison job, Tai had been pushing to make the Digital World a part of the U.N. He felt that the Digital World should be represented to all of the world, not one country. As they reached the lobby, Sora and Tai could see T.K. and Kari waiting for them. Tai stopped.

"You go on. I want to take another look around." Tai said. Sora nodded and walked over to T.K. and Kari. Tai walked back, looking all around. He entered an office adjacent to his own. He assumed this would be his assistant's office. He had not met her yet, but he assumed she was on his way. He walked over to the desk and picked up the nametag. "Sarah Greene" it read. He suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

"Tai Kamiya, we meet at last." He heard, and his blood froze, for he recognized the voice. It was a woman's, but it was also authoritative. It was the voice that haunted him in his nightmares. This was the Dark Digidestined leader. Tai turned around fast. It was her. She stood, blocking the doorway. She was tall, but fairly thin. She stood with an air of authority. Her brown hair flowed straight down, and sunglasses covered her eyes.

"It's you." He whispered. Tai knew he should do something, but he couldn't move, he was petrified; perhaps more out of surprise than fear.

"Yes . . .I'm Sarah Greene." She said. His eyes widened.

"You . . .you're my assistant?" He asked. She nodded again.

"Yes, you did say you wanted someone closer to your age didn't you? You felt that someone older would talk down to you." She informed him.

"Why are you here? How did you survive?" Tai asked. Sarah cocked an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" She asked. Tai's eyes narrowed.

"Don't play coy. Answer me, why are you here?" he asked. She sighed, and took her sunglasses off and with the other hand rubbed the bridge of her nose, as if warding off a headache. She then opened her eyes and stared at Tai. He gasped. Instead of the dull, uncaring red eyes he saw pretty hazel ones.

"I'm here because you asked for me. Now I'm here to help you out and be your assistant. But if you are going to act weird like this, I don't want any part of it." She said. Tai could tell he had offended her. She waited for a response, but when he gave none, she became frustrated and left. Tai didn't wait a second, he ran to the computer in his office. He clicked on the communication link and the words, "Digi H.Q.". Luckily enough, Gennai's face appeared.

"Gennai, I think I just saw the Dark Digi destined leader!" Tai exclaimed.

"What? Where?" Gennai replied.

"Here in the real world!" Tai told him.

"Are you sure it was her?" Gennai asked.

"Well . . . she didn't seem to remember who I was, or what had happened. And her eyes aren't red anymore." Tai reported. Gennai looked away, lost in thought. Then he returned his attention to the screen.

"Tai listen to me, do not let her go. This is important."

"So, she is the Dark Digidestined leader?"

"I don't know, but if it's who I think it is . . . she could be the leader's opposite. Maybe a sort of look-a-like, like T.K. and Kuri. If so, she could be a very powerful ally. Don't let her leave."

"But Gennai-." Tai began, but Gennai cut him off.

"Tai don't let her leave. This is imperative. Apologize, beg, do whatever you need to. Just keep her there until I arrive." Gennai finished. The link closed.

Tai ran out of his office, down the hall, and out into the lobby. He saw Sora talking to T.K. and Kari over in a corner. Sora turned to greet him, but her passed her.

"Tai? TAI!" She called, but he was out the door.

"Ms. Greene." He called out to the street before him. He saw her down a ways. He ran and caught up with her.

"Ms. Greene." He called out again.

"Yes?" She said turning around. He hesitated when he saw her face.

"I'm . . .I'm sorry. Please don't leave. It's just . . .it's been a weird day." He said, hoping he sounded convincingly. She seemed to accept it.

"Well, I don't mind coming back. But what was with the interrogation earlier?" She said reproachfully.

"Well . . ." Tai began.

"TAI!" They heard. Tai turned around. Sora, T.K., Kari, and Gennai were running toward Tai and Sarah. They stopped and looked at the two. Tai stepped forward.

"Everybody, this is Sarah Greene. Sarah, this is Gennai, my girlfriend Sora, my sister Kari, and her boyfr-." Tai stopped. "Her friend T.K." T.K. and Kari regarded Tai oddly as Sarah shook hands all around.

"So Gennai . . ." Tai began. "You came here to . . ."

"Ah yes." Gennai replied. "Ms. Green, if you have decided to stay, then I am here to help answer questions, and get you settled into the new job." Sarah hesitated. She looked at Tai. Then back at Gennai's inviting face.

"I suppose I could stick around awhile longer." She said.

"Good! I'll tell you everything you need to know." Gennai said, leading her into the building. Gennai quickly reappeared.

"I don't have much time. It is as I suspected. Sarah is just a look-a-like, and like T.K. is to Kuri, she might be on our side." Gennai said. Tai looked over at Sora, T.K. and Kari. They all had curious glances, but kept their distance.

"But she doesn't know anything about Digimon or the Digital world. How can she be an ally?" Tai asked.

"Allies come from the most unlikely places." Gennai responded. "Think, we go through an ordeal with the Dark Digidestined. Then their leader's double becomes your assistant. It can't be coincidental. Who hired her?"

"Uh . . ." Tai thought out loud. "My contact at the UN said she was a friend of the family."

"Hmm . . .I'll have my sources check her background. I will show her around and bring her up to speed on everything. Meanwhile, weren't you going on vacation?"

"What?" Tai said. "Oh, I was . . . but I can't do that now. We have to run a background check on her, and-."

"Don't worry, I have people already on it." Gennai said. "You go on. You deserve a vacation more than anyone. Go . . .I'll tell you if anything comes up." Tai opened his mouth, closed it, and nodded. Gennai returned to the building. Tai walked over to Sora, T.K., and Kari who looked at him weirdly.

"What was that all about?" Sora asked.

"Come on." Tai said. "I'll tell you on the way."

* * * * *

Izzy Izumi walked into the control room. He smiled. It had seemed hopeless a month ago when the Digi H.Q. had been wrecked in the fire (the second one). But with help from Gennai, Tentomon, and his American friend Willis, Izzy had been able to repair the Digi H.Q. It was now even more improved than the first time. The systems were updated and advanced, and the structures were built stronger against attack. Izzy had originally used military software for his network, but that had failed, and ran slowly, so Izzy wrote his own software instead. It was faster and more efficient.

Izzy saw a short, blond woman working at a console in the empty control room.

"But if you work out four to the X plus the square root," she was saying. He walked up behind her. She was working with a formula for a new program. He saw the solution instantaneous, but she couldn't get it quite right. " . . .The formula comes out in a negative integer." She concluded, setting her pencil down. He shook his head, smiling. He reached in front of her, using her pencil to change the formula.

"But if you change the Y to an inverse, and disregard the square root, the X cancels out, and-." He started.

"And the square root negates, solving the equation." She said, finishing the problem. She looked up.

"I'm Abigail Jenkins." She said offering her hand. He grasped it.

"I'm Izzy Izumi. It's a pleasure." He said.

"No mine." She said. He smiled at her. They saw the door behind them open, and Willis entered.

"Oh good, you met." He said. Abigail nodded.

"Who's this? Izzy asked politely.

"This is Abigail, my second cousin. She's come to take my place here to help you." Willis said. Izzy's face contorted into surprise.

"You're leaving?" Izzy asked. Willis nodded.

"I have to return to Colorado. But don't worry, Abigail knows her stuff. She'll help you ser up and start the systems. I've told her everything. She might even teach you a thing or two." Willis said.

"If you'll have me." Abigail added. Izzy nodded.

"I'm sure it'll be fine. You've never steered me wrong before." Izzy said. Willis smiled.

"Now," He said. "Where are Terriermon and Lopmon?" Just then, Tentomon, Lopmon, and Terriermon came through the door.

"Here we are!" Tentomon exclaimed. Terriermon and Lopmon jumped from his back and glided down by their ears. Both landed in Willis' arms. The three fell back, laughing. They all chuckled at the scene. Willis got up.

"Guide me to the transporter room?" He said. Izzy and Abigail nodded. They traveled there in silence. Once they arrived, Izzy set the coordinates to Colorado, and found Willis' laptop. Willis and his Digimon got in front of the screen. Willis looked at Izzy and Abigail once more.

"Good luck you two." Willis said. He held up his Digivice, and was pulled through. Izzy and Abigail looked at each other. They both then sensed it, a little connection forming. Both disregarded it completely. After all, they were only partners, right?
