A New Adventure

It was now three months since Tai and his friends had arrived at the Academy, and a lot had happened since Tai, Jaden and Syrus and had managed to avoided expulsion.

First Bastion had dueled Chazz in a promotion match with a dorm switch on the line. The match had been close, Chazz's Chthonian deck had posed a seemingly impossible challenge but Bastion's strategic dueling style had won through and earned him the victory. Bastion then surprised everyone by turning down his promotion explaining we only would when he became the top ranked freshmen and that meant defeating Jaden who he believed was sure deserved the title.

The next morning it was revealed that Chazz disappeared and the gang, along with Mindy and Jasmine, sneaked out to look for him only to get sidetracked when Jasmine was kidnapped by a literal 'dueling monkey' named Wheeler. Being the guy he was Jaden stepped up and challenged the creature to a duel with the red heads freedom on the line. It turned out Wheeler was a tough opponent then anyone expected, his Beast deck put Jaden in more then one tough spot. Fortunately the HERO duelist was able to turn things around win the duel along with Jasmines freedom. Later they encountered Professor Banner who told them Chazz had left on his families' yacht swearing to return to Duel Academy when he was powerful enough to beat Jaden.

This was followed a week later when a Obelisk Senior named Harrington had taken a shine to Alexis and got super jealous of the open and friendly way she and Jaden interacted with one another, he then challenged Jaden to a duel and the winner would become Alexis's fiancée. Harrington had been a tough opponent but Jaden was able to defeat him thus becoming Alexis's fiancée although he did reveal afterwards that he didn't know what fiancée meant.

Not long after that there was a buzz around campus was that the infamous deck of the Duel King himself Yugi Muto (minus the god cards) would be on display at the Academy as part of a tour, the deck was late stolen by a kid in Ra named Dimitri, a copycat duelist but could never win. When Jaden, Tai Bastion, Hassleberry and Syrus confronted Dimitri he had somehow convinced himself he was Yugi even doing a fairly good impersonation of his voice, undeterred Jaden challenged him on the condition that Dimitri return Yugi's deck if he lost. The match had been nerve wracking to watch. Jaden was a skilled duelist but even he was pushed to his limits by Yugi's legendary deck which contained the King's signature monsters like Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl as well as the legendary rare monster Black Luster Soldier- Envoy of the Beginning But like always Jaden persevered and found a way to make a comeback thanks to his HERO deck.

About a week later a new student arrived named Blair Flannigan and, because of Jaden never learning when to keep his big mouth shut he, moved in with the guys although Professor Banner assured them it was only temporary. The next morning Jaden found the new guy climbing up a tree and sneaking into Obelisk dorm, suspicious he followed him and found him sneaking around a spacious and comfortable looking room, then to his shock watched Blair taken a Deck Holder that had been lying on the bed side table and begin nuzzling them against his face and the top card, Cyber Dragon, pretty much giving away whose room this was. After narrowly escaping a confrontation with several Obelisk students, as well as learning Blair was in fact a girl shorty before hand, Jaden confronted at the stretch of beach beside the Slifer Dorm and the two of them made a bet, if Jaden beat her in a duel she would confess her crimes but if not Jaden would have to keep quiet.

The duel had been…interesting, Blair's main monster, Maiden in Love, dominated much of the match with its Special Ability, however Jaden persevered and was able to stage a come back. During the duel it was revealed why Blair had snuck into the school: she had a crush on Zane and had been eager to meet him, however due to her age, turns out she was only 10 years old, she couldn't enrol at the Academy and by the time she was could Zane would be long gone. However it turned out that during the course of the duel her affections had switched to Jaden promising to come back to him whilst being shipped off the next morning (Tai: *'I'm certainly gonna get some mileage out of this.'*).

After the fiasco with Blair the next major event was the annual School Duel between Duel Academy and their rivals, North Academy, the only question was who would represent the school? Zane had recommended Jaden but given his dislike for the HERO duelist Crowler nominated Bastion, it was decided to hold a special match to settle the matter with the winner being Duel Academy's representative as the prize. The duel itself had been a nail biter, Bastion prepared a special deck to taken on Jaden as well as a strategy to prevent the Slifer from using fusion and cutting off access to his strongest monsters. Despite this however Jaden was able to overcome Bastion's strategy and became Duel Academy's representative for the School Duel.

Then after days of preparations the day of the School Duel arrived and to everyone's surprise it was revealed Chazz was to be opponent, the former Obelisk enrolled in North Academy during his absence. And not only that another twist revealed itself when Chazz's brothers, Jagger and Slade, showed up and announced they were going to broadcast Jaden and Chazz's duel to the whole world. The battle itself was ferocious, Chazz had been presented with North Academy's best cards, the Armed Dragons series, but it was three weak monsters and a trap that decided the match, Jaden's 3 Hero Kids and the Miracle Kids Trap, weakened Chazz's Armed Dragon Lv 7 enough to let Flame Wingman destroy it and wipe Chazz out.

Afterwards Chazz's brothers disowned him and it might have gotten ugly if Jaden and the others hadn't stepped in and afterwards the two of them left the island. It was then Chazz announced he was returning to Duel Academy as it was where he belonged, that was until he heard he be in Slifer Red but the representatives from North Academy had already left.

Currently Jaden along with Alexis, Hassleberry, Syrus and Chazz (now sporting his all black look) were seated in the stands of the duel arena watching as Tai faced off against Bastion. The brunette had wanted to test out his new Wind Attribute deck and the Ra genius had been more then happy to help out.

[TLP: 1500] Tai, whom was currently minus his blazer, currently had Garuda the Wind Spirit and Cyber Harpy and defence mode as well as the Field Spell Harpies Hunting Ground in play (GWS 1600/1200→1800/1400 CH 1800/1300→2000/1500).

[BLP: 3500] Bastion meanwhile had his Litmus Doom Swordsman and the trap cards Spirit Barrier and Last Magnet, that was currently equipped to Cyber Harpie reducing its attack points by 800 (2000/1500→1200/1500).

"You know I must say how much I've enjoyed this Tai." Bastion said as he drew a new card, "Litmus Doom Swordsman, attack his face down monster." The man in the white matadors out fit lunged forward and sliced its twin swords through Tai's card momentarily revealing a large bird with red and purple feathers and 14 eyes, 8 on its head and 3 on each wing, it flapped its wings and created a tornado that sucked up Bastions 2 traps freeing Tai's Harpie and the swordsman's ATK to 0.

FLIP: Return 2 Spell or Trap Cards on the field to their owners' hands

"Bastion meet Tornado Bird, he returns 2 Spell or Traps to their owners hand when flipped face up." Tai explained as he drew his next card, "I play Graceful Charity, you know the drill so I won't bore you with the details."

Graceful Charity

Type: Basic Spell

Draw 3 cards, then discard 2 cards

Drawing again, the brunette looked at what he's picked up before discarded the two he didn't need. "I sacrifice my two monsters to summon the mistress of the storm, Simorgh Bird of Divinity." He declared.

Simorgh, Bird of Divinity

ATK: 2700/DEF: 1000/Level: 7/Attribute: Wind/Type: Winged Beast/Effect

While this card is face-up on the field, both players take 1000 points of damage during each player's End Phase. Decrease the damage each player takes when this happens by 500 points for each Spell and Trap Card that player controls

The two bird like creatures disappeared in their place was a large bird with white feathers and a crown on its head. "Go Simorgh, Divine Wind..." Letting out a cry the bird flapped its wings firing feather-like blades of pink energy at the swordsman which ripped into it with the force of a tornado [BLP: 800].

"Good show, that's quite an impressive monster," Bastion said, "However it wasn't enough to beat me."

"You may want to hold Bastion, because you see my bird has a special ability that makes her a double edged sword," Tai replied, "As long as she's on the field we both take 1000 points of damage during each End Phase. Oh and guess what, I'm ending my battle phase now." The bird let out cry so loud it was almost deafening [TLP: 1000]/[BLP: 0]

"Well congratulation then," Bastion said as the holograms then faded, "You got me."

Tai laughed. "Don't sell yourself short, your a tough opponent." Tai chuckled, "And for the record you can decrease the damage Simorgh's inflicts based on the number of Spell and Trap you have on the field."

"Really, I'll bare that in mind for next time." Bastion replied.

The sound of a laugh then caught their attention, looking round they saw the others heading towards them.

"Tight duel guys." Jaden said, "Tai that new deck is pretty cool." He then threw Tai his blazer.

"Yeah I dunno, haven't decided if I wanna use it or not." Tai replied, catching the piece of clothing and tying it round his waist.

With the duel over the seven of them left the arena and didn't stop until they left the building and out into the afternoon sun. "So, what do you guys want to do now?" Jaden asked.

"Don't we have that test tomorrow?" Syrus replied, this was met by a chorus of groans.

"Don't remind me." Chazz replied.

"Even so it doesn't hurt to be prepared." Bastion said.

"I guess, what's the subject again?" Jaden asked

"Umm, I think its methods of summoning." Tai replied.

"Why don't we grab our notes and meet up at your place so we can help each other study." Alexis suggested.

"I agree with Alexis, if we all band together there's no reason we can't all ace this thing." Hassleberry piped up.

"Sweet. Let's all meet up at Slifer in an hour, that should give us plenty of time to get our stuff and maybe some snacks." Jaden said.

"Sounds like a plan," Bastion said, "Gentlemen, I shall see you then." He then began walking off.

"Hey, hold it right there Privet Misawa." Hassleberry called out before he ran after his fellow Ra.

"Catch you dorks later." Chazz said heading off. This left Tai, Jaden, Alexis and Syrus standing there.

"Well, I guess I should be going too." Alexis said.

"Oh, do you have to?" Jaden asked, a note of disappointment in his voice.

"Yeah, I promised Jasmine and Mindy I'd hang out with them this afternoon. But don't worry I'll be over to help you guys study." Alexis said almost as if to reassure him.

Syrus and Tai glanced at each other, a knowing grin on both their faces . *'Jaden and Alexis, sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G…'* Neither Jaden or Alexis noticed this however. "Well alright, see you later then." Jaden said giving Alexis a small wave which she returned before heading off.

"Well come on guys, lets go see Ms Dorothy and see if she can hook us up with some snacks." Jaden said to his two friends.

"Actually I was kinda wanted some time alone." Tai replied.

"Oh ok, we'll see you later then. Come on Sy." Jaden said, he and Syrus then headed off

Tai watched as his two roommates hurried off he then looked to his right standing there were his spirits Little Chimera and Red eyes Black Chick. '*Is there just something about me that just attracts weird creatures me that I'm not aware of?'* The Brunette mused to himself, *'Then again I did spent an extended amount of time in a world populated by a load of weird monsters so maybe that has something to do with it.'*

Soon Tai found himself standing at the same lighthouse Alexis and Zane would meet at whenever the blond needed to talk with him. He stood there in silence, looking out to sea watching the light from the afternoon sun sparkle on the water.

"*Very well, I won't tell them where you are. The one to tell them that must be you, so I ask something of you, please talk to your family and your former teammates."* Those were the final words Gennai had said when the Digital Sage visited him, urging him to contact his family and former teammates. But how could he after all this time, did he really have the right to call home out of the blue and say something along the lines of 'Hey guys guess what I'm not dead, found me some new amigos and doesn't look like I'm coming home. Bye now.' No he couldn't do that even though he missed everyone he didn't want to be stuck in a place where he wasn't needed.

Sighing he looked over at his two spirit's. "What am I going to do?" he asked but they didn't respond. Just then his PDA went off and a message appeared on the screen.

*Come to the lake in the woods,*

*You must come now.*

*PS Bring your Duel Disk*

'*OK. Cryptic much?'* Pocketing the device the former Child of Courage made his way back towards the main path, since he was already wearing his portable dueling devise he made beeline towards the forest that covered most of the island and soon enough he was walking amongst tall trees.

"Tai is that you?" said a voice from behind and turning round Tai saw a familiar person walking towards him.

"Zane, what are you doing here?" he said, surprised at the Senior's sudden appearance.

"I could ask you the same thing." Zane replied.

"Well I got this message telling me to go to the lake in the woods." Tai informed him,taking out his PDA. To his surprise Zane did the same.

"Me too." The older boy replied, "Do you know anything about this?"

"No clue," Tai replied, "Since whoever sent these messages said to bring our Duel Disk they must want to duel, question is who."

"Well there I guess there's only one way to find out." Zane said, Tai nodded in response and the two of them headed off.

"I've been keeping track of both yours and Jaden's duels." Zane said as the walked, "I've been impressed, you've both gotten a lot stronger."

"Thanks." Tai replied, "But we still have a lot of work to do before we face you again."

Although it didn't show on his face inwardly Zane was smiling, *'It maybe closer then you think.'*

Just then a rustling caught their attention and out of some nearby bushes emerged Bastion, Duel Disk at the ready. "Tai, Zane!" the ebony haired duelist exclaimed.

"Let me guess you got a message to go to the lake in the forest and to bring your Duel Disk." Zane said.

"So did we." Tai added

"Any idea of what this is about or who contacted us?" Bastion asked.

"Where as much in the dark as you are." Tai replied.

"Then I suppose we better not keep our host waiting," Bastion said, "Whoever it is will no doubt has the answers." Tai and Zane nodded in agreement and the three of them began walking.

After a few minutes the trio arrived and found Chazz, Syrus and Hassleberry already there. "You guys got a message to?" Tai asked.

"Yeah, but when we arrived there was no one here." Hassleberry replied.

"Where's Jaden?" Zane asked.

"I don't know. We were on our way to get snacks when professor Banner said he needed Jaden for something, I offered to wait but he insisted he'd catch up." Syrus said as the trio walked towards them, "Anyway I was back at our dorm when I got this weird message telling me to come here with my Duel Disk, I ran into Sarge and Chazz on the way here."

"And you say no one was here when you arrived." Bastion said, "That is strange."

"Y'know this could be some slacker's poor idea of a joke." Chazz said in an annoyed tone.

Just then the sound of a twig breaking caught everyone's attention and looking over they saw Jaden and Alexis heading towards them. "Hey guys, what are you doing here?" the brunette duelist asked.

"That depends," Tai replied, "Did you two get a message telling you to come here?"

"Yeah that's right, you guys to?" Alexis asked as she and Jaden approached the the others, the gathered Duelist all nodded in response.

"I getting a feeling about this, and it's not a good one." Bastion said, "I mean why was it that only us that were told to here, all of us here are some of the best duelists at the academy."

"Well certainly myself, you, Alexis, Zane, Jaden and Tai." Chazz sneered.

"Are you implying something Privet Princeton?" Hassleberry demanded.

At that same moment miles away two objects on a desk in an apartment in Odaiba began glowing, the objects levitated off of the desk then transformed into orbs of orange light then passed through the glass and zipped through the glass window at speeds invisible to the human eye.

A light shown down upon the group "What the…" Tai exclaimed then suddenly a beam of orange light hit him in the chest.

"Tai!" Jaden cried he made to run towards his friend but was brought to a halt when Tai's body began radiating a glowing orange aura and a sun symbol appeared on his chest. Before any of them could say or do something suddenly each of them began began to radiated a colored aura as well. Jaden's was red, Alexis was lilac, Zane dark blue, Bastion yellow, Syrus light blue, Hassleberry military green and Chazz dark grey, a symbol also appearing on their chests too.

An orb appeared before Tai, his eyes widened for inside was his digivise then to his surprise it began changing shape, unlike his previous one this new one was the size of his fist in the middle on it was a screen surrounded by an orange ring with 2 buttons below it attached to a piece of orange thread but its must noticeable fetcher was a slit in the side.

Looking about Tai saw Jaden and other others all had a similar devise in front of them as well that the devises then shot a beam which hit its owners duel disks before forcing their way into their left hand as the light from above grew brighter till it consumed everything.

Tai groaned as his eyes opened and found himself lying in the middle of a forest, a groaning caught his ear and looking about he saw the others lying beside him, partially noticing Alexis who was lying on top of Jaden her head on his chest.

"Is everyone alright?" he asked.

"Yeah, I think were still all in one piece." Zane replied.

"Yeah but where are we and how did we get here?" Chazz asked.

Tai sighed. *'What do I do, should I tell them that were in another dimension but if I do that I'd then have to tell them the whole story.'* A growl caught his attention and looking to his left he saw his sprits. "You guys made it too?" The two of them nodded in response along with cries of Jaden and Chazz's spirits.

"Uh Tai." He heard Alexis and turned to look at her the entire group, minus Jaden and Chazz, staring at him wide eyed, "Why is there a Winged Kuriboh hovering above Jaden's head. A black a green and a yellow blob hanging around Chazz and a cat thing and dragon chick with you?"

Tai, Jaden and Chazz stared at them in disbelief. "What you can see them?" Jaden exclaimed.

*'Interesting, either Alexis and the others have developed the ability to see monster spirits or they're visible to anyone in this world.'* Tai thought to himself.

Just then the TV near them flared into life and an image of Gennai appeared on the screen -Ah I see you're all up and together now, good.-

"Gennai." Tai exclaimed upon seeing the Sages face on the screen, "What do you want?"

-It's best not to talk here, it would be safer if you and your companions come to my house.- Gennai informed him. A beam of light appeared from somewhere nearby.

*'So we are in Server.'* Tai thought to himself, "Okay let's go, it's not safe to be out here."

"And where is here exactly?" Zane asked.

"Long story, and not one for right now." Tai replied, "Now come on we need to move."

They began making their way towards the light the group asking Tai various things like what's going on and how did he know the guy who had been on the screen but Tai didn't answer. Soon enough they reached a lake from which the pillar had emerged from

"Well we're here, so where is this guy?" Chazz asked then suddenly the water parted revealing a staircase. Tai shrugged his shoulders and descended them whilst the others followed, Tai was about to knock on the door when it opened as if by magic and they entered finding themselves in an traditional looking Japanese front room with dining area attached

"Ah I see you have arrived." Came a voice then as if from nowhere appeared a man who looked to be in his late 20's/early 30's with short spiky hair.

"Well I'm here Gennai, now what is it?" Tai said

"Wait that's Gennai?" Jaden said to which Tai nodded, "Then this must be…"

"Yes Jaden, that is correct." Gennai said, "Now if you'll follow me I believe I have something that will aid me in answering any questions you may have."

Gennai then led the group towards a staircase that led down into a large chamber with carving on the wall of the four Sovereigns, also along the back wall were seven Digi Egg's a purple one with yellow spots, a light pink one, a blue and white one, a orange one with brown stripes, a grey and white one, a dark green one and a black one.

"Now before you begin asking questions let me say this, this is the Digital World, a parallel universe that is in part a manifestation of your world's communication networks." Gennai began only to be quickly cut off.

"What, we're in another world!" Alexis exclaimed.

"Yes, this world is populated by creatures called Digimon, short for Digital Monster." Gennai replied, "There are all sorts and most of them are pleasant enough, however there are also evil Digimon who if left uncheck threaten to destroy the harmony of both our worlds."

"As fascinating as this is I don't see what this has to do with us?" Bastion said

"It's simple a Digimon of incredible evil has arisen and it doesn't just threaten this world but yours as well, you all here to defend both our worlds." Gennai stated

"But why us? I mean there are hundreds of Digidestiend across the world?" Tai asked.

"Because this enemy can not be defeated by traditional means, so we have developed a new way to combat this evil," Gennai informed then, "The secret to it lies in your new Digivise which we call a D-arc, it is ten times more powerful the D-3 and has a number of special fetchers. And to give you all an edge in battle it also works with your cards."

Just then an orange blur shot passed Gennai and tackled him to the ground and the group saw it was a small dinosaur like creature with large green eyes "Tai." It cried "Agumon." Tai said he then wrapped his arms around the creature "I missed you." "I missed you to Tai." Agumon replied

"Um sorry to break up this Hallmark moment but what the hell is that?" Chazz exclaimed.

"Duh, it's a Digimon." Jaden said.

"Oh right Agumon these are my friends Jaden Alexis Zane Bastion Sarge Syrus and Chazz." Tai said getting up. "Guys this Agumon, my Digimon partner."

"Nice to meet ya." Agumon said cheerfully.

Suddenly Chazz grabbed Tai by the collar. "Ok Yuki spill, you obviously know more then you're telling." He said in an aggressive tone.

"Yuki? Tai's last name is Kamiya." Agumon said in a confused tone.

"Wait Kamiya," Zane said "I know that name, Taichi Kamiya is the name of a guy from Odaiba who ran away from home several months ago."

"I remember that." Alexis asked, "Tai, that was you?"

"Long story, don't wanna talk about it." Tai replied.

Suddenly Jaden and the others D-arcs began glowing the eggs, they then vanished and reappeared the purple one in front of Jaden, the pink one in front of Alexis, the blue one in front of Zane, the orange in front of Bastion, the grey one in front of Syrus, the green one in front of Sarge and the black one in front of Chazz. The eggs then cracked in two releasing an orb of white light at the same time Jaden and the others began glowing to the same colours before they were transported.

The white orbs transformed into seven different Digimon, standing before Jaden was purple lizard like creature with yellow eyes that came up to his waist.

With Alexis was a small dog like creature with light pink skin, blue eyes with a gold ring round its neck which he automatically recognized as Salamon.

With Zane was a blue and white dog like creature with boxing gloves on its hands.

Hovering above Bastions head was a cartoonish looking bee.

Standing next to Syrus was a bear cub that was almost the same size as he was with blue straps around its paws, and a backwards turned baseball cap.

Sitting on Chazz's shoulder was strange looking creature with a large grin on its face its head mostly covered by what resembled an executioners cap but the freakiest thing about it was that it had a green eye on its left palm and a red one on its right.

And lastly standing beside Sarge was what looked like an Agumon with a longer tail and pixelated skin dressed head to foot in combat fatigues and carrying an M-16 assault rifle,

Tai took out his new Digivise and pointed it at his friend's new partner, a hologram emerged from the screen along with a read out of its data and stats.

"Each of you are now has a Digimon partner, you are also in possession of a crest which will help you fully unlock your partner's full potential. These crests are representations of your own traits." Gennai explined "Jaden yours is the crest of Nobility. Kind hearted Alexis yours is the crest of Compassion. Zane yours is the crest of Honour. Wise Bastion yours is the crest of Wisdom. Syrus you have proven you are a loyal companion and you will never abandon your friend, yours is the crest of Loyalty. Hassleberry who is strong in both body and will, yours is the crest of Strength. And finally Chazz who is never afraid to speak your mind, yours is the crest of Honesty."

Jaden and other each had a different reaction to their new partner. Jaden being the person he was already acting as if he and Monodramon had been friends forever, the same applied with Alexis who was petting Salamon who was rubbing its head against her leg whilst Zane and Gaomon however were just staring at each other.

Syrus was trying to hide behind Bastion whilst Bearmon looked on confused asking what was wrong, Bastion and Fanbeemon (who it turns out was as much as a brainiac as Bastion) meanwhile were conversing with one another about something or other.

It appeared Chazz had established the same relationship with Dracmon that he had with his Ojama's.

And Hassleberry and Commandramon, well lets just say they were a perfect match "Commandramon, reporting for duty." The green lizard said saluting.

"At ease soldier." Hassleberry told his new partner, returning the salute.

"Sir, yes sir." Commandramon replied.

"Alright, this is so sweet," Jaden said, "But what about Tai, doesn't he get one too?"

"He already has one, he posses the crest of Courage." Gennia replied.

Tai then tossed his D-arc to Gennai. "I told you I'm done with this." He then turned on his heel and walked up the stairs.

"Tai wait." Jaden said as he made to chased after him, then suddenly Tai threw his goggles to him.

"Here, you'll need these." he told the HERO user before heading out the door.

"Tai." Agumon cried, the orange lizard made to go after him.

"Wait," Gennai said then placed the D-arc around Agumon's neck "Take this, I have a feeling he'll need it before the end." Agumon nodded and hurried after his partner.
