Digimon: Reloaded

Chapter 1

Yagami Taichi leaned back, sighing. He was suffering from an extreme case of boredom. He was home alone, while his younger sister, Hikari was off with her friends from school. Taichi glanced around the deserted house, knowing that his parents were out for the day, and he was home alone.

He considering calling his best friend, Yamato Ishida, but decided against it. Yamato was probably hanging out with his little brother, Takeru Takashi. Taichi released another slightly irritated groan. The only person that he had ever really trusted to always be with him, was back in a world he hadn't visited in a long time.

The Digital World.

It was inhabited by creatures called Digimon, creatures that could change shape and form with the power of a Digivice, which was strapped to Taichi's belt loop. The brunette sighed, closing his eyes, reminding himself with a slight twinge of worry that Digimon could not evolve without a Digivice, so if Taichi's Digimon Partner, Agumon, was attacked by a Digimon a higher level than himself, Agumon would get creamed.

Taichi then reminded himself that their Digi-Human friend, Gennai, would tell him if something was wrong, like when Diablomon attacked. Taichi smiled slightly at the memory, and picked up the TV remote, deciding that if he were to die of boredom, it wouldn't be lazing around on the couch thinking about depressing memories.

He attempted to turn on the TV, before being interrupted by an annoying ring ring of Taichi's phone. The brunette glanced at it, and sighed getting up, scowling slightly as he answered.

"Yeah, Yagami Residence, Taichi speaking."

"Taichi!"

Taichi's annoyance about having to get up melted as a familiar voice blared into his ear. His jaw dropped from pure shock.

"Koushiro?!"

Izumi Koushiro was one of Taichi's good friends from when he was in the Digital World. At first Koushiro seemed kind-of anti-social and kind of annoying when he blurted out useless information out of the blue, but as time went on, Koushiro became a valuable addition to the team.

"Taichi! Thank god, you're at home," Koushiro said. "I called Hikari, and you weren't with her so-"

"Wait, why did you call Hikari?" Taichi asked, confused.

"Look Taichi," Koushiro sighed. "I got a call from Gennai!"

"Seriously?"

Taichi's jaw dropped when he heard his friends news. Gennai hadn't contacted them since...well since the defeat of Diablomon three months ago.

"Yeah Taichi, seriously," Koushiro sounded stressed. "Something's wrong in the Digital World, and he's going to elaborate pretty soon, when we're all here. Everyone's here besides you." Taichi's heart leapt at the prospect of seeing his friends again.

"I'm on my way!" He promised, and hung up, pulling on his sneakers, and opening the door, running down the complex stairs and tearing down the sidewalk, weaving around the crowds of people. Taichi finally reached Koushiro's apartment complex, which was a place he hadn't been to for a very long time. He sprinted up the stairs, almost tripping in his haste, and finally arrived, knocking.

"Come in!" Mrs. Izumi's voice called, and Taichi opened the door, stepping inside and pulling off his shoes.

"Hi Mrs. Izumi! Nice to see you again!" The brunette called as he jogged into the living room, and glanced around at the children already assembled there.

Takenouchi Sora glanced up, and shook her head at Taichi as he collapsed next to his sister, Hikari. The boy's best friend, Ishida Yamato grinned slightly, sitting next to his brother, Takashi Takeru. Tachikawa Mimi sighed at Taichi's tardiness while Koushiro sat at his traditional white and yellow laptop with a pineapple on the front. Kido Jou sat twiddling his thumbs out of nervousness, sitting in the middle of Sora and Yamato.
