Chapter Two

Present Day

“Renamon what is it?” Paul asked. They had been jogging towards the high school for the past 10 minutes. She had taken off without a word to him, and he had finally caught up to her.

She didn’t slow down, “Something’s wrong.”

“Whatever it is, can’t it wait a minute for us to walk?”

“No, it’s coming soon.” They entered the school parking, a giant grey fog bank was covering most of the school. “There!”

Paul stopped, Renamon just a few feet in front of him. “That’s a Digital Field! From season 3!” Renamon nodded. “Then, that means a Digimon is coming here,” he said, stating the obvious.

Renamon turned to him, “We’re going to have to fight again.” Before Paul could answer, she jumped over him, landing in a protective crouch. A Digimon was approaching them.

“Are you going to fight me,” a cute pink and purple rabbit Digimon was approaching them, “or will you return to the Digital World peacefully?”

Renamon growled slightly, “I have lived here for three years. This is my home. You, however, need to return.”

The rabbit stopped advancing, “Three years? You mean-”

“LUNAMON!” A girl came running up the parking lot driveway. “Wait up!”

Renamon stepped back, allowing Paul to see what was going on. The girl finally caught up with Lunamon. “Carolyn, I thought I told you it was dangerous to come.”

“I know, but I wanted to see the other Digimon!” She looked up at Paul and Renamon. She froze. “Renamon. Paul.”

Paul looked to Renamon, confused. She didn’t seem to know the girl either. “Do we know you?”

“It’s me, Lynn. We met three years ago just in the park across the street,” the girl explained, pointing down the parking lot driveway.

A sudden growl from the Digital Field ruined the reunion moment. Everyone turned to look at the Field. A figure started to walk out of the fog. Lunamon stepped forward, “I recognize him, that’s Bearmon. He’s a good Digimon.”

Paul turned to Renamon, “What happened last time someone told us that about a Digimon?”

“We were attacked,” she replied dryly.

“Oh yeah,” he commented, a grin on his face.

Bearmon growled again, and charged. Lunamon jumped forward, “Tear Shot!” A ball of water impacted Bearmon in the face. It shook his head and continued running.

“Bear Claw!” It swiped twice at Lunamon, the second connecting with the side of her head. She was thrown sideways.

Lynn ran over to her, “Lunamon!”

Paul didn’t move from Renamon’s side. “How do you feel?”

He looked up at her face, she was smiling. “Well rested. It’s been a while since I got some exercise. Shall we?” She asked, look back at him.

“Ladies first,” Paul bowed slightly.

Bearmon had turned it’s attention over to Paul and Renamon. It charged, “Bear Fist!” Renamon easily dodged the attack. As Bearmon watched her jump over him, Paul ran up behind it, and grabbed one of it’s arms.

Renamon landed gracefully, arms crossed in front of her chest. She jumped into the air again, “Diamond Storm!” Dozens of green shards appeared before her, and launched themselves into Bearmon’s chest. Paul jumped back, and the shards exploded, taking Bearmon along with them.

With a small thud, Renamon landed, and promptly fell to her knees. Paul rushed over, “Are you okay?”

She smiled at him, “Of course, just a little tired.”

Lynn and Lunamon came running over. “That was amazing!” Lynn shouted. She gave Paul a hug, “You saved Lunamon!”

“The Digital Field is gone,” Lunamon said. “Thank you.”

Paul picked Renamon up, cradling her in his arms. “This is the first appearance Digimon have made in the real world since our Digimon came to us. Something is wrong in the Digital World,” he said. “I have to talk with my friends. Try to stay safe. Let me know if you encounter anymore Digimon.” He started to walk away.

“Wait, Paul. How can I contact you?” Lynn asked, running after him.

He reached into his pocket, and pulled out his wallet. “Here.” It was a simple business card. “That’s where I’ll most likely be. My cellphone number is on the back.” He turned, and walked away.

Patrick, with Lopmon on his shoulder, came bursting through the door. “What do you mean there was a Digimon at the high school?”

Paul looked up, he was sitting at a computer in a small building near his house. He had converted it from a storage shed a few years ago, and it served as a Digimon safe house. Digimon could stay there when they needed to, and all the research Paul was conducting on the Digital World was stored there.

The computer spoke, “Oh, hey Patrick. Lopmon.”

Patrick looked over at the screen, it was a video conference with Jordan. “Jordan, what’s up?”

Paul laughed, “We were just discussing Digital Fields. Have a seat, everyone else will be here soon.”

Sure enough, the door opened, and Brian walked in. Wormmon sitting on his head. “Hey,” he said, waving to everyone.

“So, Mac is the only one missing?” Jordan asked.

“He’s going to be late, I called him,” Patrick said, making room for Brian on the couch. “So, explain. What happened?”

Paul pushed himself away from the computer, turning the monitor and webcam so Jordan could see the couch. “Yesterday, Renamon led me to the school parking lot. When we got there, there was an open Digital Field.”

Brian raised his hand, “For those of us who didn’t study Digimon for a year, what’s that?”

Paul spun around, and opened a drawing on the computer. It was a complex diagram of a Digital Field. “Basically it’s a hole between the Digital World, and our world. The only thing I don’t understand is why they are being made. We have hundreds of gates around the world through computer software on the internet. There’s no need for this... Attack on our world.”

“What do you mean by attack?” Patrick asked.

“I mean that the Digital Field literally destroys our dimension. Once the Field closes, our dimension repairs itself, but a large number of Fields opening in the same area could destabilize the fabric of the universe!”

Just then the door opened again. “Sorry we’re late,” Mac said, coming inside. Terriermon walked in after him. “What’s going on?”

Jordan laughed, “Nothing man, you just interrupted one of Paul’s dramatic explanations.”

“Oh, sorry. Please continue,” he said, sitting on the couch. Terriermon, Lopmon, and Wormmon all headed to the back of the room, where Renamon laid resting. She was half asleep, still recovering from yesterdays fight.

Paul nodded, “Well then. Obviously something has happened in the Digital World that is causing this. Something needs to be done to correct this.”

“I’m up for taking a trip back to the Digital World!” Patrick said, sounding very excited.

Renamon sat up, “We can’t.”

“Renamon!” Terriermon and Lopmon called in unison.

“You should not be moving yet, Renamon,” Wormmon said.

They all turned to look at her. “What do you mean?” Mac asked.

“A new set of DigiDestined have been chosen. This is not our fight,” she explained. “Lynn and Lunamon are supposed to lead this battle.”

Everyone but Paul looked confused. “That may be so,” Paul said, “but we still need to go. Even if we aren’t the answer to the problem, I need to do what I can to stop Digital Fields from appearing.”

“Can you stop them from forming?” Brian asked.

“I have no idea, but I have to try.”

Jordan smiled, “Then we are going back?”

“Not all of us,” Paul said. “We need a few to stay here and fight off any Digimon that come through.”

Everyone looked around, no one wanted to be left behind. At the same time, everyone was afraid of the Digital World. It was not a safe place to be. Before anyone could say anything, there was a knock at the door.

“Um, Paul? Are you in here?” Lynn’s voice came through, muffed by the soundproofing in the walls. “Your mom told me you were out here with Renamon.”

He opened the door. Lynn was standing there, holding Lunamon. “Just in time, come on in.”

She stepped in, and stopped when she saw the group of people and Digimon gathered. “Is this...”

“The last group of DigiDestined? Yup,” Brian said, getting up. “I’m Brian. Please, sit down.” He offered her his spot on the couch.

She sat down, letting Lunamon join the other Digimon. “Thank you.”

Paul sat back down, “So, as I was saying. We’re going to split up into two teams. I will lead the team headed for the Digital World, and the rest of your are going to stay here and protect it from the Digimon that get through. We’ll return when we block Digital Fields from forming.”

“As there aren’t any Digital Fields here, I’m coming with you Paul,” Jordan said.

Kamemon, his partner, came into view, “Don’t worry, we’ll protect you and Renamon, like we always do!”

“Thanks you two.”

Brian raised his hand again, “I’ll come too.”

Paul nodded, “Pat and Mac are staying here then.”

“Fine by me, I’m not going back there,” Mac said. “That’s no place for Humans to go. I’m not putting Terriermon at risk, not after what happened last time.”

Patrick nodded, “I’m cool with that. I’ve got classes anyway.”

While the discussion went on, Renamon laid back down. “I don’t understand, Renamon. I thought you were strong,” Lunamon said.

“My kind is strong, I am not,” was her only answer. A few seconds later, her eyes slowly closed and she started to snore.

Lunamon turned to the other Digimon, “What does she mean?”

Terriermon and Wormmon both turned away, pretending to listen to Paul. Lopmon continued to watch Renamon. “She’s sick. Very sick.”

“Sick?”

“She has a virus that eats away at her strength. She’s gotten stronger over the past few years, but she’s still very weak,” Lopmon explained. He looked up at Lunamon, “She shouldn’t ever fight. She doesn’t have the strength for it.”

Lunamon looked at Renamon, “And yet she fought.”

“She did. For Paul. Everything she does is for Paul. She lives for him.”

Lunamon looked back to Lopmon, “Their connection is that close?”

Lopmon turned to look at Paul, Lunamon followed his gaze. “The two of them are closer than married Digimon. I’ve never seen love as strong as theirs.”

“Then we leave in a week. Lynn, gather the other DigiDestined. You all can leave when you’re ready. Do what you have to do,” Paul said, with a smile. “Just be careful, the Digital World isn’t like the TV show. It’s dangerous.”

Lynn smiled, “Don’t worry about us. If we need anything, we’ll call.” She picked up Lunamon and left. The sun was starting to set, they had talked through the afternoon.

One by one, the DigiDestined all left. Paul and Jordan chatted for a while, before he had to log off. Paul walked over to where Renamon was resting. She looked up at him, “Everyone gone?”

He smiled, “Yup. Come on. Mom’s got leftovers for us.”

“Leftovers, what joy.” They both laughed. Paul locked up the room on the way out, and they headed inside the house.

The next week was the busiest week Paul had had for a while. He had to get excused from school, and then prepare all the supplies for the trip. Renamon helped out all she could. Her main job was to contact everyone, tell them what supplies they needed to bring, and be the go-to person for any questions. Something she was very good at.

Brian spent a lot of time at Paul’s house, helping the packing. Him and Wormmon had been staying over most nights, working late and then just sleeping on the couch.

When the time came, everyone assembled at the school. They made their way into an unused computer lab. Paul sat down at one of the computers. “Okay, this will be our terminal. Jordan, you there?”

A video feed of Jordan appeared, “Yup. Got my end open.”

“Good. We’ll meet up at Primary Village, assuming it’s still intact.”

“Right.”

Paul turned to the group, “Everyone ready? This is your last chance to go get something.” Everyone double checked their pockets and bags, and nodded. “Then let’s go!” He opened the portal and stood up.

The new group of DigiDestined all looked at the two experienced ones. Wormmon climbed up on Brian’s head as he pulled out his Digivice. Paul wrapped an arm around Renamon’s waist, and she grabbed him in a hug. They pointed their Digivices at the portal, and vanished in a flash of light, pulled into the portal.

Lynn picked up Lunamon, “Let’s go!” She pulled out her own Digivice and followed them in. The others in the group each followed suit. Once everyone was through, the computer automatically shut itself off, sealing the portal behind them.

Paul and Renamon landed hard, on their backs. Paul’s arm was crushed under Renamon. He could hear Brian right near him. He sat up, and looked around. They were in the middle of a forest. “You guys okay?” He asked.

Renamon sat up, “Just fine.”

Wormmon climbed out from under Brian, “Okay over here. Although for a minute there I thought I was a pancake. He’s got a heavy head!”

Brian slowly sat up, “You aren’t exactly a comfortable headrest.”

The sound of screaming interrupted them, as the new DigiDestined rained down on them. Lynn landed on top of Brian, knocking him down again. Everyone started to laugh as Brian and Lynn untangled themselves.

“What now?” Lynn asked, looking around.

Paul helped Renamon up, “You’re the DigiDestined, you tell me. Just, decide to go somewhere. Trust me, you’ll find out what you’re supposed to do after a while.”

Brian and Wormmon approached, “Primary Village should be east of here. We should get going.”

Paul waved to the DigiDestined, “Good luck, and try not to get killed!” He and Brian left, leaving the group to fend for themselves.

“Think they’ll be okay?” Brian asked, looking back nervously. “I mean they’re just kids.”

Paul smiled, “Same age as us first time we came here. Don’t worry about them. I’m sure they’ll handle things just fine.”

Renamon’s head titled back as she sniffed the air, “I smell Kamemon. They are close by.”

Just ahead the giant block towers of Primary Village came into view. Thousands of baby Digimon of all shapes and colors. Jordan and Kamemon were waiting near the outskirts. Jordan had his face buried in the cradle of a baby Digimon.

“Hey guys!” Kamemon said, as they approached. “Good to see you in person for a change!”

“You too Kamemon,” Brian said.

Paul bent over to see what Jordan was looking at. “Who’s this?” He froze. “I don’t believe it.”

“Neither do I,” Jordan replied. “I thought this was impossible.”

“That’s what we were told.”

Renamon approached the cradle, “What Digimon is it Paul? Jordan?” The two of them stepped back, and let Renamon approach. Inside was a single Relemon.
