Hey everyone. I finally made the remake chapter of chapter 1 and i'll be able to get to chapter 4 on Monday if a I work hard, but for now enjoy.

Chapter 1: Reunion and start of a new adventure.

11-year-old Kari was walking in the Digital World forest at night, wandering around aimlessly having no idea why she was here, while for some reason was wearing clothes that she never wearied before in her life. Kari looked down at herself to see that she was wearing a new outfit. Kari was now wearing a light blue scarf around her neck, a Pink open jacket over a light blue shirt that has a picture of water on it, a Pink Skirt, long Light blue socks that reach above her knees and almost to her skirt and light blue shoes and Light Blue gloves that reach her elbows like her old ones. Kari was even wearing light pink earrings on her rings. Kari then notice some shadows moving around in the dark, while seeing creatures in the Shadows, which for some reason looked familiar to her.

There were big and small Shadow creatures, with a small creature that looked like a Salamon running around, and before Kari could chase it, the Salamon look-alike disappeared in the shadows, while the sounds of giggles were heard. Kari then looked through the trees to see a blue ocean, with two creatures above the water, before they dived into the water, not revealing their forms to Kari. The shadows then begin to move like they wanted Kari to follow the shadows into a deeper part of the forest, making Kari look confused, before she then follows to where the shadows want her to go in the forest, while hearing more sounds in the forest, like some people were talking to her. "Kari." Kari heard a whisper voice said from the forest, making Kari slightly widen her eyes at what she heard.

The shadows then begin to form a path to somewhere in the forest, with White Feathers raining down on the path, making Kari more confused at what was happening. "Kari''. The voice said again to Kari, along this time with the creatures covered in Shadows now watching Kari, getting her nervous at the creatures watching her, but felt like she wasn't in danger, in fact she feels happy that the shadow creatures were watching her, making Kari followed the path with the creatures watching her carefully. However, suddenly the feathers that rained down on the sky started to glow, before they started surrounding Kari, making her scream in fright at what was happening to her, before the feathers disappeared to reveal Kari in some kind of armour that looks like Kamen Rider Siren from Kamen Rider, only the crest symbol of light was on the forehead.

Kari looked at herself in awe at her new appearance, thinking it was beautiful. Kari used her hands to hold her new cape out with white feathers coming down from the cape, amazing her even more. Soon Kari held her hands out as a rapier appeared in her right hand and a white shield appeared in her right, amazing Kari even more. Soon Kari let go of the two weapons, with the two disappearing, amazing Kari even more at what was happening. Soon Kari continued walking up the path to where she heard the voice. Soon Kari made it up and saw a figure standing there, waiting for her before the figure turned around, allowing Kari to see what he looks like.

The Shadow's were covering the figure's features, before the Shadow disappeared to allow Kari to see who it was and what he looked like. The Figure looked like Wing Knight survive mode from Kamen Rider, only he had pure black wings on his back just through his cape so it didn't get ruined, with the helmet having a few differences, like a Dragon Mouth at the bottom, Dragon claw hands as well and a Black Dragon tail. Even his boots had three Dragon feet at the front and one at the back and the crest symbol of Darkness was on his helmet. "Kari''. The figure said to Kari, holding out his right hand for Kari to take, with his voice sounding very familiar. Kari's expression was in confusion, before she found out why this figure's voice sound familiar, making Kari smile brightly as she knew who this figure is now. "Shadow!" Kari exclaimed in happiness as she started running up him to give him a tight embrace, happy to see him again, with Shadow returning the hug, with Kari just reaching Shadow's chest. "I missed you so much." Kari commented to her crush with a smile, still hugging him tightly. "I missed you as well, Kari." Shadow replied as he hugged Kari more.

However the creatures covered in Shadow started appearing around Shadow and Kari again, getting Kari to look to see them surrounding her and Shadow, making her tense, but Shadow hugged her tightly with care. "Kari. It's alright. Our Digimon won't hurt us''. Shadow said to Kari as he allowed himself to step away from Kari, getting her confused at what Shadow said. "What do you mean our Digimon Shadow. None of these Digimon are Grimdramon or Gatomon and we can only have one partner''. Kari said to Shadow with confusion in her voice, wondering just what Shadow is talking about. However, suddenly something jumped in Kari's hands, making Kari take a step back in surprise, before she looked down to see the same creature that looked like Salamon, only the shadows were covering her as well and had glowing purple eyes. "You'll find out soon''. Shadow said to Kari as he turned around and started walking away, getting Kari concerned as she tried to reach for Shadow, just as a loud ringing noise was heard from nowhere.

Kari opens her eyes and realizes that she was no longer in the forest. She was in her room, with her alarm clock ringing nonstop, showing that it was 7:00 clock, while wearing Pink sleep clothes and not in the armour she was wearing in her dream. She then turned her alarm clock off from ringing more. "It was just a dream. But it felt so real." Kari said as she realized now that it was just a dream, but felt real to her, along with feeling like it wasn't a normal dream, but actually real and she was actually talking to Shadow. "Just what does this mean and why did Shadow said 'our Digimon'. Gatomon is my only partner Digimon and I don't think we can have more than one partner''. Kari thought to herself in confusion at what was happening to her, now confused out of her mind, before she took a sigh and decided to get ready for school.

(Opening song End)

Kari was walking to school with her pink back pack on, having had a short, but healthy breakfast and talk with her family, but hasn't really showed any spirit in her this morning. Kari was wearing new clothes. She wears a sleeveless white and pink turtle necked shirt, pink fingerless opera gloves with an oval cut from the top of the palms, yellow shorts with a brown belt, white stockings, and pink and gray boots with black soles. She carries a digital camera hanging from a yellow cord from her neck. She even has a hair clip on her hair. She has decided to wear something that she hoped wasn't do great looking on her, but it failed.

It has been 3 years since she and the other Digidestined defeated Apocalymon, and said goodbye to Shadow, who stayed in the Digital World with his partner Grimdramon. She still couldn't believe that Shadow chose to stay in the Digital world, with her wishing he did, with life being hard on her since that day, having cried her tears out when she would go to sleep, missing the boy she loves very much. Kari heard about the Diaboromon incident from her brother and thought Shadow was gonna help, but Tai told her that Shadow and Grimdramon wasn't there. Tai told her that Shadow was the first thing he asked Genai about, but the old man hasn't seen Shadow, having only seen him once during his travels to give him something special.

When they return to the Digital world two years ago, Shadow and Grimdramon still wasn't there and Gennai didn't know where they were or even know how they're doing, which made her sad. She was starting to think that she would never reunite with Shadow. Gatomon even told her that she didn't see Shadow or Grimdramon for three years, having wished they would visit, but for some reason Gatomon and Kari felt like they haven't been away from Shadow and Gatomon for so long and just a few weeks, with Gatomon feeling like she was missing something important. It's been a few days since they were called back to the Digital world to stop a new evil called the Digimon emperor, who was a human like her. Kari only saw her when they went to rescue a friend of hers from the Digimon Emperor, who was also the cause of Gatomon losing her Tail Ring

There were also new Digidestined in the team to help them out with this new threat. Three from her school, two she wasn't very close to and one being her childhood friend. One was called Davis, a goggle head like her brother Tai that also liked soccer, with him being her childhood friend. He also had a Crush on Kari and he is even the new leader of the Digidestined. He was partner to a Dragon digimon called Veemon, who had a crush on Gatomon, just like how Davis has a crush on her. Kari liked Davis, but only as a friend because he helped her during the past three years, doing what he could for her, which she was grateful, but she still didn't feel that way for him, only seeing him as her best friend that was always there for her.

Next was Cody, a young boy who acts more mature then his age from having his father die from police work, with make the grow up faster in spirit and become the man of his house, having lost his child spirit that made Kari sad for the young boy. His Digimon partner was an Armadillomon, who was a little different then Cody. He was a Digimon that was funny and joked around and not so serious like Cody. Last was a girl called Yolei that was a year older then her. She was also in the same school, but wasn't her friend till she became a Digidestined. Her partner was a Digimon called Hawkmon, who was a male bird Digimon and a gentleman kind of Digimon. All three Digidestined discovered a new evolution called Amour Digivolve, which required a Digimon egg that had a mark of the crest of it and a new Digivice called a D3, which they all got from the Digital world when they first heard of the threat.

Kari, Gatomon, T. K and Patamon were the only old Digidestined part of the new group, since they had more time than the other old members. T. K hasn't changed much and he was in her school. Both Kari and T. K had found their own digi-egg which made their Digivice turn into a D3 and amour digivole Gatomon and Patamon. Like Davis, T.K liked Kari, which didn't sound right to her. She thought of T.K as her twin brother that would always have her back, but apparently he doesn't feel the same and wants to date her, which made Kari a little uncomfortable. However, since Kari has return to the Digital world, she has begun to have dreams about Shadow, shadow creatures, that white amour and that small Digimon that looked like a Salamon, making her confused out of her mind. Kari sighed as she continued to walk to school, while thinking of the boy she loves. "Shadow, just where are you?''. Kari thought to herself as she looked at the sky as she continued to think about Shadow, wanting to see him again more than anything.

However, that brought her to a flashback about the last Digidestined's meeting on the day that they discovered Armour Digivole and how they reacted.

(Flashback)

The Digidestined were at a park finishing their talk about Amour Digivole and the new Digivice, along with the new group, new threat and who should go to the Digital World tomorrow. "Ok, it's settled. Tomorrow Sora, me and Izzy will go to the Digital world tomorrow''. Tai said to the group, looking at them all as everyone agreed with him, since Mimi was in America, Joe had a test and Matt had practice with his band, while T.K and Kari were already planning to go since they are part of the new group.

Sora was seating on a swing as everyone had the meeting, however she took notice of Kari's far off look, who was seating at the edge of a slide, looking at the night sky. "Kari. Is something wrong''. Sora said to the youngest member of the group, making everyone look at Kari, who didn't look at them and continued to look at the sky with her far off look on her face. "Kari''. Tai said to his sister, starting to get worried for his sister.

Kari looked at her brother, before she looked at everyone. "I'm just thinking about the Digimon emperor and what his doing to the Digimon and the Digital World. And about Shadow''. Kari said to the group about what she was thinking, worried for her crush. She seemed to have had an unknown fate, because a few months ago, she disappeared a day and reappeared the other day with no memory of what happened to her. Kari also did the same thing a year ago, only she reappeared a few minutes later, with her family being worried for her on both events, with Tai keeping a close eye on her in case she does something like this again.

Everyone looked down at the ground in sadness at what the Digidestined of Light said. They haven't mention Shadow since their last visit to the Digital world, but they have all missed the Darkness user greatly. They didn't trust him at first, but he proved that he could be trusted many times, with the group accepting him as a true friend and it pained them to have left him in the Digital world. "We have to have faith in him and that we'll see him again soon''. Tai said to the group with a sad face, also worried for Shadow, having trust Shadow to be the only person to become a couple with Kari and would have given him his blessing if he returned to the real world with the team, but Shadow stayed in the Digital World. Everyone nodded to Tai at what he said, while Kari was still worried for Shadow and what he has gone through.

(Flashback end)

Kari sighed to herself with her eyes closed as she finished remembering the Digidestined's meeting, having thought of that meeting a lot and how Shadow has been doing in his time in the Digital World. Kari then realized that she was in front of her School gate with the other students walking into the school, talking to friends and making plans. She must have been to focus on her flashback that she didn't notice that she has arrived at school, making Kari look down at how she has been focusing on her flashbacks to much and not what is in front of her.

"Hey Kari''. Kari heard her name being called out from behind her, making her turn around to see Davis, Cody, Yolei and T. K walking over to her with smiles on their faces, waving at her. (Everyone is wearing the clothes that they wear in the show)

"Hi''. Kari said to her friends with a sad smile and sad face, which everyone noticed straight away because there was no joy on her face, only sadness. "Kari, what's wrong''. Yolei said in worry for her friend and teammate that she liked a lot and wanted to be best friends with. "It's nothing''. Kari said to Yolei as she put on a fake smile, trying to hide her sadness. "Kari, why are you fake smiling''. Cody said to Kari as he could tell that Kari was putting a fake smile on her face, having seen the differences in her smiles up till now, making Kari sigh at how Cody figured out she was fake smiling. "Don't worry Kari. I'll cheer you up, no problem''. Davis said as he got in front of Kari and smiled brightly at her, thinking he could get Kari to smile. "If it's not too much to ask, but I would like to be along today, Davis''. Kari said to her childhood friend as she walked past Davis to the school, making him and the others widen their eyes in shock at what Karisaid and her actions.

T. K sighed as he knew what Kari was thinking about and what was troubling her. "We should just give her some time alone''. T. K said as he walked into School after Kari, having secret plans to try to get her to smile his way, wanting to date her and become her boyfriend and not let Shadow steal Kari away from him. The others soon followed them, hoping that Kari will cheer up soon and that everything will be back to normal, not knowing that only one thing can get Kari to smile today.

(5 hours later)

Kari, T. K, Davis, Cody, Yolei were in the computer room of their school, with their digimon partners in the room as well, having finished school for the day, which Davis was grateful for. DemiVeemon, Upamon and Poromon were playing together, while Patamon was hanging on T. K's head, with all four Digimon smiling happily as they just finished a meal that Yolei brought for the team. Gatomon was being held by Kari's arms as she looked out the window, looking at the Sky, still thinking about Shadow. Gatomon was the same as Kari, looking at the sky thinking about Grimdramon, but for some reason Gatomon has been worried for something she doesn't even know, making Gatomon confused at what was happening to her. The whole day Kari and Gatomon has been silent and haven't talked to anyone, which worried everyone. Kari didn't even talk in class and has been silent for the whole lessons. Her behaviour is starting to worry everyone. Kari was usually a bright and happy girl that was nice and didn't have much friends in school, but was now a silent and not friendly girl as she hasn't talked to anyone, unless someone spoke to her first.

"There, the Digigate is open and ready to use''. Yolei said to the group as she finished readying the Digigate for everyone to go to the Digital World. Davis, DemiVeemon, Cody, Upamon, T. K, Patamon and Poromon went to Yolei's side, while Kari didn't move and Gatomon didn't look like she wanted to get out of Kari's hands. Both girls were thinking of the dreams that they have been having, where they see creatures covered in Darkness and a Digimon that looks like Salamon, in different forms and their crushes in different forms as well.

"Now we're ready to go to the Digital world, but first we need to set some rules''. Davis said to the group as he turned to look at them, as DemiVeemon went up to his head and lied down there. Everyone looked at Davis in confusion at what he was saying, while Kari and Gatomon looked at him as well, wondering what the special rules are. "What kind of rules, Davis''. Cody said to the team's leader, wondering what he meant by special rules. "Well first rule is that Kari has to come with me''. Davis said as his checks turned red, thinking about making his move on Kari when they're alone. Yolei looked at Davis with an angry face. "Davis, Kari can take care of herself and besides Kari wants to be alone''. Yolei said to Davis, while holding Poromon in her hands, frowning at how the goggle head boy wasn't respecting Kari's wishes to be alone.

"Yeah right, the Digimon Emperor will try to capture her, but I'll protect her with all my strength and I'll cheer Kari up''. Davis said to Yolei stubbornly, feeling confident that he can make Kari smile just like he did in the past. "Davis, what Kari is feeling is something that you can't help with. You should just let her have time alone''. T. K said to Davis, knowing that Davis or he can't help Kari feel better. T.K wanted to help Kari feel better and give him time so he can confessed his feelings to Kari, but was waiting for the right time. Davis glared at T. K in anger at what he said. "Please. I can get my girl to smile, no problem. I bet you just want to be with Kari alone as well''. Davis said to T. K with a glare, not listening to his advice because his to head strong.

Davis then tackled T. K to the ground and they started to fight each other. DemiVeemon, Patamon, Poromon, Yolei, Cody and Upamon tried to stop them from hurting each other. They were so busy fighting, that they didn't notice Kari walked up to the Computer and held her D3 with her right hand, before she was sucked into the computer with Gatomon in her hands. The others were still fighting, but the computer room door opened and Tai came in, wearing his school clothes. "What are you guys fighting about''. Tai said to everyone, wanting to know what they were fighting about. Everyone then looked at Tai as Davis and T.K pointed at each other. "Davis won't leave Kari alone/ T.J won't let me cheer Kari up''. Davis and T.K said at the same time before they glared at each other, making Tai look at them confused.

"Ok, first off. What are you guys talking about Kari being alone''. Tai said to everyone, wondering what happen and why they said Kari has been alone. "Kari's been sad, quiet and lonely today. We've been trying to help calm her down, but nothing worked''. Yolei said to Tai, telling him about Kari's behaviour and how she has been different lately. Tai looked at Yolei, before he looked down in thought. "Now that you mention it. Kari has been quiet and down lately. She didn't even speak when we were having breakfast''. Tai said as he remembered that Kari has been quiet before she left for school. What Tai said caused everyone to get more worried for Kari; however that was then when Cody released that Kari wasn't in the room. "Umm, Guys. Kari isn't here anymore''. Cody said to everyone, telling them about Kari's absence, causing them to finally notice that Kari and Gatomon were not in the room.

Yolei looked at the computer and saw that the Digigate had just been used, making Yolei gasped in shock and horror. "Oh no. Kari went to the Digital world all by herself everyone''. Yolei said to the group, making everyone look at the computer and gasp as well. "What is Kari thinking? Going to the Digital world all by herself with Gatomon''. DemiVeemon said in shock that Kari and Gatomon went to the digital world alone. "We can figure that out later, we have to go find them''. Tai said to everyone, worried about his sister and if anything is gonna happen to her. Everyone nodded to Tai, before the Digidestined held their Digivice and D3 in front of the computer. "Digi port open''. Everyone said, before they were sucked in the computer with their digimon, leaving the human world and enter the digital world.

(In the Digital World)

Kari and Gatomon were walking through the forest woods, minding their own business and thinking about Shadow and Grimdramon. Kari was walking endlessly while Gatomon walked behind Kari. Kari was looking down at the ground as she walked, while Gatomon kept her eyes out for anything that would happen. "I miss him''. Kari said to Gatomon with tears in her eyes, wanting to see Shadow again more than anything in the world. Gatomon looked at her partner back with a sad face as well. "I know Kari. I miss Grimdramon as well'''. Gatomon said to Kari, feeling the same as Kari, wanting to see Grimdramon again. Both girls didn't care about the argument their friends had, they just cared about seeing Shadow and Grimdramon again.

Then Kari and Gatomon heard a roar, which made then turn around and gasp in shock. A very angry Monochromon appear from the forest, and he was looking at Kari and Gatomon. Monochromon then roared again, before he charged right at Kari and Gatomon! "Kari, run!''. Gatomon shouted out to her partner, before both girls then started running away, with Monochromon charging after them. Kari and Gatomon kept running away from Monochromon for a while, before they started running out of breath and they could feel their legs start to get heavy. However a blur went past Kari and Gatomon, getting the two to widen their eyes in surprise at the blue, before they turned around a saw the Monochromon looking scared, before he ran away from a small Pink Digimon in front of him. The Digimon turned around and smiled at Kari and Gatomon, who were confused. "Gatomon. Whose that Digimon''. Kari asked her partner if she knows the Digimon in front of her. "Sorry Kari, but I don't''. Gatomon said to her partner, never seeing this Digimon before in her life.

The small Pink Digimon smiled as she went to Kari and hugged Kari at the chest, surprising the users of Light. "Kari''. The small Digimon said to Kari happily, before she then went up to Gatomon and hugged her as well. "Gatomon''. The Digimon said to Gatomon happily, confusing the two light users. "I see MarineAngemon already found you guys''. A voice was heard from behind Kari and Gatomon, making Kari widen her eyes at the familiar voice, before she turned around to see someone she wanted to see again after so long. The voice came from a 12-year-old Shadow. Shadow's hair was still the same style, only the purple bang part that went over his left eye was now a little longer, eyebrows still Black. Shadow was now was quiet tall and muscle, but not too much, just a few tinny inches from Tai's height, but a little bigger then T.K, wearing a Black Scarf like Ginga's scarf from Beyblade, a Black open high collar jacket with a hood on it and small sleeves that just reach his muscles over a normal V-neck black shirt that has a picture of a Dragon on it with his crest of Darkness around his neck, Black long pants with a silver chain belt around his waist, Black fingerless gloves that reach his wrist and black shoes and finally had goggles like Tai's goggles, only it was black where the blue was, dark blue where the black used to be and the mark of darkness was on the left edge of the goggles. Grimdramon was also besides Shadow, also a little bigger than before, has some bandages that he wraps around his arms, just above his claws and a black bandanna around his neck, along with a dark belt around him as well.

Shadow and Kari quickly gained tears in their eyes as they recognized Shadow and Grimdramon easily. "Shadow! /Grimdramon!''. Kari and Gatomon shouted out happily as they ran towards the Darkness users and hugged them, bringing them to the ground with the Darkness users laughing at the girls' actions. "I've missed you so much''. Kari said to Shadow with her eyes closed, tears going down her cheeks and head on Shadow's chest, with Shadow returning the hug by wrapping his arms around Kari's back. "I have missed you too, Kari''. Shadow said to the girl he loves with a smile, glad to see Kari again. "I thought I would never see you again, Grimdramon''. Gatomon cried out to the Digimon she loves with tears in her eyes. "It's alright Gatomon, I'm back now''. Grimdramon said to the Digimon he loves as he kisses her forehead, making her blush at what Grimdramon did. Then both Digidestined and their Digimon stood up, with Kari noticing the small Pink flying Digimon was still around, watching Shadow and Kari.

"MarineAngemon, I know you were excited to see Kari again, but you should have waited for us instead of rushing ahead''. Shadow said to the mysterious pink Digimon with a smile, getting Kari to look at Shadow in confusion. "Shadow. You know this cute little Digimon''. Kari said to the boy she loves with a surprised look, getting MarineAngemon to hug Kari again, getting her to giggle. "Of course. She is after all your Digimon''. Shadow said to Kari with a gently smile on his face as he placed his left hand on his left waist, getting Kari and Gatomon confused. "Before you ask anything, let me do this first''. Shadow said to Kari as he held his right hand up, before he clicked his fingers, making Kari and Gatomon's head hurt as they held their heads for a few seconds, before they looked back at Shadow. "We remember now. Shadow, I remember our adventure with Takuya, Zoe and Kouchi and our adventures with Mikey, Nene, Christopher and Ewan''. Kari said with a smile on her face as she remembered her past adventures in the other worlds, making Shadow smile. "That's good to know, but just remember the memory blocking idea was yours''. Grimdramon said to Kari with a smirk on his Dragon face, getting Kari to giggle.

"Whatever you say, my Draconic husband and by the way, where's our daughter''. Gatomon said to Grimdramon with her hands on her hips, wanting to know where hers and Grimdramon's daughter is. "She's right here''. Shadow said as he brought out a black Fusion Loader in his right hand, showing it as he activated, before a flash came out to reveal a new Digimon on the ground. It looked like Salamon, but her fur was black, has three claws on her feet, a longer black tail, Blue eyes and has Grimdramon's ears and finally has Grimdramon's wings, only white. "Mummy''. The Digimon called out as she ran into Gatomon's open arms, crying in happiness with Gatomon doing the same. "GrimSalamon. My baby girl''. Gatomon said with tears in her eyes to feel her daughter again, making everyone smile at her. Shadow then walked up to Kari, before he held out his right hand.

Kari knew what Shadow wanted so she gave him her D3, getting Shadow to smile. "Thank you''. Shadoww said to Kari with a smile, before he focused with Kari's D3 glowing and changing shape, before it changed into a White Fusion Loader. Shadow then brought out his Fusion Loader in his left hand, before it activated and a few flashes came out and into Kari's new Fusion Loader before Shadow gave Kari her Fusion Loader. Kari looked at her Fusion Loader with happiness as a Darcmon's face appeared on the screen. "Hi Kari. We've missed you''. Darcmon said to Kari with a smile on her face, getting Kari to smile, before she laughed as MarineAngemon hugged her face. "I've missed you guys as well''. Kari said to her Digimon with a smile, before MarineAngemon turned into a flash that went into her Fusion Loader.

"How have you been during our short time away from each other''. Shadow asked Kari with a smile, wondering how she has been, before Kari went up to Shadow and hugged him. "Why don't I show you how I have been doing''. Kari said to Shadow with a smile, before she kissed Shadow on the lips, making him widen his eyes in surprise, with Gatomon giving Grimdramon a kiss on the lips as well. However, Tai, T.K., Davis, Yolei, Cody, and their partner digimon who digivoled to their Rookie level arrived to the scene just in time to see Kari hugging Shadow and giving him a kiss on the lips. The same could be said for Gatomon hugging Grimdramon and kissing him on the lips as well with GrimSalamon in her arms.

"Huh, who is that guy?" Cody asked, as he and the new Digidestined, along with their partners were seeing Shadow and his partner for the first time. "He's so cute and handsome!" Yolei said out loud with hearts in her eyes, along with having a dreamy expression. "Who is that guy and why is he getting hugged by Kari?!" Davis exclaimed out in rage, jealous that someone else is getting by Kari that were not him. He wasn't very happy at this fact around a stranger that he doesn't know being this close to Kari. Along with this stranger getting a kiss on the lips by Kari!

Veemon, Armadillomon, and Hackmon were the same with Grimdramon. "Who are those Digimon?" Armadillomon asked the team, never seeing Grimdramon or GrimSalamon before in his life or ever hearing about him. "I'm not sure because I've never encounter a Digimon like those two before." Hawkmon said to Armadillomon in confusion, in the same situation as the other clueless Digimon. "And why the heck is Gatomon hugging that Digimon and giving that other Digimon a kiss?!" Veemon exclaimed in rage, also like Davis, jealous at this fact that Gatomon is doing the same with Grimdramon and holding GrimSalamon. He also wasn't happy about this unknown Digimon getting a kiss on the cheek as well!

Tai and T.K., along with their Digimon partners, were very happy at this moment at seeing their old comrades again after 3 years. "Shadow!" Tai and T.K. exclaimed in happiness, happy to see a familiar face after so long. "Grimdramon!" Agumon and Patamon exclaimed in happiness, glad to see their old friend Grimdramon again. Both Tai and T.K., along with Agumon and Patamon, then run, or fly in Patamon's case, over to Shadow, Kari, Grimdramon, and Gatomon. This action caused the New Digidestined and their Digimon partners to be even more confused now. Shadow, Grimdramon, Kari and Gatomon then noticed Tai, T.K., Agumon, and Patamon coming over to them. Kari and Gatomon smiled at them, while Shadow and Grimdramon were surprised, while GrimSalamon hid behind Gatomon. "Huh? Tai? T.K.? Is that you?" Shadow asked in surprise to see the two again, not expecting them. "Agumon? Patamon? They're here too?" Grimdramon asked in surprise, also wasn't expecting them as well. This is turning out to be a grand reunion for Shadow and Grimdramon, meeting old and new friends today.

"Hey Shadow!" Tai said to the Darkness user with a smile, glad to see Shadow even if he saw him kissing Kari, stopping in front of him. "It's good to see you again after so long, Shadow." T.K. said to the Darkness user, also glad about seeing Shadow again. "Grimdramon, it's been a long time!" Agumon exclaimed to his old friend and comrade. "Nice to see a familiar face again!" Patamon said, happy to see an old friend again. Both humans and Digimon were happy to see Shadow and Grimdramon again. However, Agumon then noticed GrimSalamon hiding behind Gatomon, getting him confused. "Whose that''. Agumon asked in confusion as he pointed at GrimSalamon, getting everyone to look and gain surprise looks at seeing GrimSalamon. Gatomon smiled as she picked up GrimSalamon and held her carefully. "This is GrimSalamon, mine and Grimdramon's daughter''. Gatomon said to the team with a smile, getting them to jaw drop in shock at what they heard, with Kari leaning her head against Shadow's right shoulder. "Tai. Me and Shadow are a couple now, just so you know''. Kari said to her brother with a smile as she wrapped her arms around Shadow's arm, getting them even more shocked.

"Excuse me, but can anyone explain what is going here?!" Davis exclaimed out loud with a confused and shocked look at Kari saying she was a couple with this stranger, getting even more confused about the situation. "I'm also confused on what is happening right now." Cody said to the group with a confused look, still trying to figure out who Shadow and Grimdramon were to the others, along with GrimSalamon. "Yeah, like who is that cute guy and his friend?" Yolei said with her eyes now closed and checks red with her hands on her checks, still thinking about Shadow at this moment.

These thoughts plague the new Digidestined minds about Shadow and Grimdramon. The older Digidestined and their Digimon, including Shadow, Grimdramon and GrimSalamon looked in the direction of the New Digidestined and their Digimon. "Who are these people?" Shadow asked in surprise, meeting the New Digidestined for the first time and surprised to see them in the Digital world. "Along with the Digimon that are with them as well?" Grimdramon asked the group as well as, a bit confused just like his partner. "Are they new friends of mummy's''. GrimSalamon asked cutely as she stayed in her mother's arms. Meeting new people and digimon besides the Old Digidestined and their Digimon was a first time for Shadow, Grimdramon and GrimSalamon, since they were only comfortable with their old friends.

Kari then turns to look at Shadow to start the introduction of the New Digidestined and their Digimon, while letting go of Shadow's arm. "Oh right, you've never met them before, have you, Shadow?" Kari asked her boyfriend, having realized that Shadow hasn't met the new Digidestined yet. Shadow looks at Kari, Tai, and T.K. for an explanation. The same could be said for Grimdramon and GrimSalamon looking at Gatomon, Agumon, and Patamon with the same expression as Shadow, wondering who these people are. "Well, I guess now is a good time to introduce everyone." Tai said to the team, hoping to clear up the confusion soon, while finally noticing the goggles on Shadow's head.

"Yeah, the sooner the better." T.K. said to Tai, wanting the same as Tai, before he then turns around to look at Davis, Yolei, and Cody, before he points to Shadow and Grimdramon. "Davis, Yolei, Cody, Veemon, Armadillomon, and Hawkmon, meet Shadow and Grimdramon" T.K. said to the group, officials introducing the New Digidestined and their partners to Shadow and Grimdramon. This gain questioning look from everyone mentioned, while Shadow and Grimdramon just raised an eyebrow, while GrimSalamon went next to Shadow, who picked her up and held her. "Shadow?" Davis, Yolei, and Cody said simultaneously in confusion at hearing the name. "And Grimdramon?" Veemon, Armadillomon, and Hawkmon also said simultaneously, also confused as well. "They are both old friends that we met a longtime ago. And GrimSalamon is Gatomon and Grimdramon's daughter" Kari said to the group with a smile, giving more details, still happy to see Shadow again.

"Shadow is also known as the Digidestined of Darkness with his partner Grimdramon being the Digimon of Darkness." Tai explained to give more details to the team. This information suddenly caused the New Digidestined and their Digimon to raise their guards about Shadow and Grimdramon being called the Digidestined of Darkness and Digimon of Darkness. "Did you say Digidestined of Darkness?" Cody asked with narrowed eyes, getting a now suspicious look at Shadow. "Yeah, how can this guy and his friend there use Darkness?!" Yolei screamed out loud, now having different thoughts about Shadow. "Are you sure we can trust these two?! For all we know, they can be working for the bad guys!" Davis exclaimed, now having more doubts about Shadow and his partner, along with the others trusting this guy. "Right!" All the partner digimon exclaimed, now having distrustful looks at Grimdramon at this very moment.

Kari and T.K. got in front of Shadow to keep the new Digidestined from looking at him. Gatomon and Patamon did the same thing with Grimdramon. They were all frowning at the other Digidestined and their Digimon. "Hey! Shadow is not a bad guy!" Kari said to the group with narrowed eyes, defending her boyfriend that doesn't do evil and keeps Evil from using the Darkness. "She's right! Shadow can be trusted!" T.K. exclaimed to the group, having full trust in Shadow after their adventure together. "The same can be said for Grimdramon!" Gatomon harshly said at the others, defending her husband. "They're right! Shadow and Grimdramon can always be trusted!" Patamon exclaimed to the Digidestined and their Digimon, already forgiven Shadow and Grimdramon's ways of evil long ago and after they protected them long ago.

Davis, Cody, Yolei, Veemon, Hawkmon and Armadillomon were surprised to see Kari, Gatomon, T. K and Patamon defend Shadow and Grimdramon. Tai walked in front of Kari, T. K, Gatomon and Patamon and stood between them and the new Digidestined. "Calm down you guys. You're supposed to be a team and not argue against each other''. Tai said to the new team of Digidestined, trying to keep the new Digidestined team from arguing. "But Tai, you heard what they said about Shadow''. Kari said looking at her brother.

Tai was about to say something when Shadow decided to speak. "I don't care''. Shadow said the group, getting everyone, but GrimDramon to look at him, seeing him still holding GrimSalamon, who looked a little afraid. "They're just new Digidestined and their Digimon just meet me and are acting like how you guys did before. Me and Grimdramon will just have to earn their Trust''. Shadow said to the group, with his eyes looking at the new team of Digidestined, getting them to widen their eyes at what he said, while Kari, T.K, Tai and their Digimon smiled at him, with Kari wrapping her arms around Shadow's right hand again, getting Tai a little angry. "Anyway, how are you guys back here in the Digital world? I thought the Digital gate closed 3 years ago''. Shadow said to the group, looking at Tai, while being careful to not disturb Kari's peaceful moment leaning on his shoulder. Tai still looked a little angry, but still nodded to Shadow. "We came here through a Digital gate to battle the Digimon Emperor''. Tai said to the Darkness user explaining how his here with the others to his sister's boyfriend.

"I see. Me and Grimdramon heard of this Digimon Emperor and been taking out a few of his controlled digimon''. Shadow said to Tai, telling him that he and Grimdramon have been fighting against the Digimon Emperor, while GrimSalamon jumped out of his arms and started looking at Agumon, getting the Digimon to look nervous at a child being close to him. Tai was about to say something, but suddenly a Devidramon and Tankmon with a Dark ring around their necks appeared from the sky and forest and landed in front of the Digidestined and their Digimon, causing them to look at the Devidramon and Tankmon, with Kari and Gatomon to stop leaning against Shadow and Grimdramon's shoulder.

"A Devidramon and Tankmon!''. Tai said in shock about seeing a Devidramon and Tankmon. "They have some Dark Rings on them''. Hawkmon said to the team as they noticed the Dark Ring around its neck. "Let's go guys''. Davis said as he was about to pull his D3 out of his pocket, but Shadow held his left hand out, stopping him and making Davis and everyone, but Grimdramon look at him. "Me and Grimdramon got this one''. Shadow said to everyone, before he put his left hand back in his cloak and pulled out his Fusion Loader, getting everyone confused, while Kari and Gatomon knew what he was doing. "Digi-Armor Energize and Reload Spadamon!''. Shadow called out as his Fusion Loader activated, with a glow covering Grimdramon and a flash came out of the Fusion Loader.

Grimdramon Armor Digivole to…UmbraDramon! The Dragon of Darkness!

The light around Grimdramon disappeared to reveal a Digimon that looks like a Flamedramon, with some differences. He has Black in place of blue, grey replacing the white, the armour is purple in place of red, along with blue replacing yellow and purple flames. Also, has five sharp claw blades instead of three. His feet are also the same, except having a claw in the back foot. He also has purple eyes, has black bat-like ears. He also has Dark Purple Dragon wings as well. His mask is purple, has no V-shape, and has two blades on the nose helmet, and he still has his bandages and bandana. The flash also disappeared to reveal a White Digimon in blue armour, has a sword and yellow eyes. Everyone, but Kari, Gatomon and GrimSalamon stared with jaw drop looks on their face at what they just witnessed. Shadow then held his Fusion Loader out. "UmbraDramon!/ Yeah/ Spadamon! / As you wish/ Digifuse!''. Shadow called out as the Crystal on his Fusion Loader activated with the screen flashing, with the two Digimon being covered in energy as they merged.

Soon the energy disappeared to reveal UmbraDramon, only he had Spademon's long white hair on his head with his helmet still on, Spadamon's sword in his right claw and finally Spadamon's gauntlets that covered Umbramon's bandages. "SpadeDramon!''. The newly fused Digimon called out to the heavens. "Blade of Darkness!''. SpadeDramon called out as his sword was covered in Darkness, before he disappeared and reappeared behind the two Control Digimon, with the Dark Ring being destroyed, before the two Digimon left the scene.

Everyone's eyes widen in shock at what they just witnessed, while Kari, Gatomon and GrimSalamon watched what happened with smiles, before a flash came out of Kari's pocket, which revealed into a Darcmon behind Kari, using her sword to protect Kari from a blast from a Sunflowmon that tried to attack from behind, but failed, getting everyone to widen their eyes again. "Kari! Digifuse me with Gatomon!''. Darcmon called out to her mistress with her eyes narrowed, getting Kari to nod her head as she brought out her Fusion Loader from her pocket, making everyone widen their eyes again, while Gatomon was ready.

"Gatomon! Darcmon! Digifuse!''. Kari called out as she held her Fusion Loader in her right hand above her head, with the two Digimon being covered in energy, before they mixed together to reveal Gatomon, only having Darcmon's wings, wielding Darcmon's sword and Darcmon's armour. "Digifuse! Fusion up! Gatomon! Lighting Sword!''. The Fusion up Gatomon called out, before she disappeared and reappeared behind the Sunflowmon, with her sword out with the Dark Ring shattering into pieces, with the SunFlowmon flew away, with everyone still watching in shock. The Fusion Digimon glowed, before beams shot out into Shadow and Kari's Fusion Loaders with the Digimon that were glowing were now back to Gatomon and Grimdramon. "Well down, you two''. Shadow said to Grimdramon and Gatomon with a smile, just as GrimSalamon flew over to her mother, who hugged her happily. Shadow then looked at his Fusion Loader with a smile. "And well down to you, Spadamon''. Shadow said to his Digimon with a smile, getting him to smile. "No problem''. Spadamon said to his general with a smile, getting Shadow to smile as he put his Fusion Loader away.

Tai still looked shocked, before he looked at Shadow. "You got some explaining to do''. Tai said to the Darkness user, wanting to know how Shadow got that Digivice, with how Kari has one. "I'll explain everyone soon, but you guys should head home now''. Shadow said to his old friend as he pointed at the setting sun, getting everyone to notice. "Um… Shadow''. Kari said to her boyfriend, getting everyone's attention to see Kari looking nervous. "Could you…please come back to the real world with us''. Kari asked her boyfriend to go to the human world with them, making everyone widen their eyes at what Kari asked.

Tai, T. K, Patamon, Agumon and Gatomon then nodded to Kari as they looked at Shadow and Grimdramon. "You've been in the Digital world for 3 years now. Don't you think it's time for you to return back to the Real world''. T. K said to his friend, also wanting Shadow to come back to the real world, even though he wishes that he made his move on Kari first. "Kari really wants you to come back, so please Shadow''. Tai asked his friend, knowing that this will be important to Kari. Shadow and Grimdramon looked at each other, before they looked at Kari and Gatomon, along with GrimSalamon, seeing their faces, making them decide. Shadow sighed, before he looked at everyone.

"Alright. I'll go back to the real world''. Shadow said to everyone, accepting to go back to the real world. Tai, T. K, Patamon, Gatomon and Kari cheered at hearing Shadow will come back with them with GrimSalamon happy, while Davis and the others looked troubled to have Shadow come back with them. "Come on then. It's this way''. Kari said as she grabbed Shadow's left hand with both her hands and started pulling Shadow to the TV that will take them back to the Real world, while Shadow just smiled at Kari.

Everyone followed after Kari and Shadow and soon they made it back to the TV that they come from. "How is a TV gonna take us back?''. Grimdramon said in wonder, wanting to know how a TV will take them back to the Real world. "Just hold your Digivice out and you'll see''. Tai said as he got his Digivice out, with everyone doing the same as they brought out their Digivices, while Shadow held his right hand out, holding his Fusion Loader. The TV then flashed, before it sucked in everyone, even the Digimon.

(Real world)

Tai, Davis, Yolei, Cody, T.K., Kari, Shadow, and their Digimon partners arrive back in the Computer Room of the school in the real world in a bad landing. They came out of the computer through the Digi-gate. Everyone, but Shadow, Kari, Gatomon, GrimSalamon and Grimdramon landed on a dog pile. The reason why Shadow and Kari wasn't in the dog pile was because Shadow was fast enough to get himself and Kari away from the dog pile. Shadow looked left and right at the computer room, before he looked out the window to see the sun setting. "So, at last I'm finally back in the Real World, huh?" Shadow questioned to himself, finally return to the human world after he spend 3 years' time in the Digital World.

Kari went behind Shadow, before she hugged him from behind, making both Shadow and her blush. "That's right, Shadow. Welcome back". Kari replied to her boyfriend, happy to have Shadow back in her life again. "Hey, what the hell happened to me?" A tiny voice called out, causing everyone, even the Digimon who just got out of the dog pile, to look at the source of the voice. What they saw really surprised them. "Grimdramon?" Shadow asked, surprised at seeing his partner. What they were looking at was a smaller version of Grimdramon, Demigrimdramon. DemiGrimdramon looked like a smaller version of Grimdramon, only much cuter and looks like a toy that someone would sleep with. Even his wings are cute looking. Even his bandana and bandages make him look cute.

"Oh wow, he is so cute!" Yolei exclaimed out loud, holding her hand and closing her eyes happily from seeing DemiGrimdramon. "Well, he certainly looks adorable to hug." Kari replied to Yolei as she picked up GrimSalamon and held her, wanting to hug DemiGrimdramon. Suddenly, Demigrimdramon was being held in Gatomon's paws, who was looking at him lovingly. "Well now, aren't you the cutest thing to hold and hug." Gatomon said to her lover, causing Demigrimdramon to blush a bit at how close he is to Gatomon and what she said. All the males in the room, except Shadow, were having mixed reactions to Demigrimdramon: Davis a bit jealous from the attention that DemiGrimdramon was getting at the girls, Tai, Cody, and T.K. having surprise looks at this interaction, and the Digimon partners also surprise at seeing Demigrimdramon for the first time.

"How come he gets all the attention?" Davis bitterly asked about Demigrimdramon getting the attention of the girls. "I'm not sure, but you have to admit, the girls do love cute things." Cody replied to the leader, causing every male in the room to nod their heads in agreement. "Now that I think about it. This is the first time that I've seen Grimdramon in his in-training level form''. Tai said as he realized that this was his first time seeing DemiGrimdramon. Kari then turned towards Shadow to look at him.

Shadow was still wearing the clothes that he wearied in the Digital world, even his scarf was still on. Kari then came up with a great idea. "Shadow, since you're back in the real world, you should see everyone again''. Kari said to Shadow, wanting Shadow to see the rest of the Digidestined again after 3 years. "Alright. I want to see the others again anyway and tell everyone what happened''. Shadow said to Kari, wanting to see his old friends again. Tai then got out his phone and sent a message to everyone to meet them in the park. "Alright, everyone will be at the park so let's go''. Tai said to everyone, getting nods from everyone as they left the computer room.

(15 minutes later)

Everyone was now at the park, waiting for the other Digidestined. Tai, Kari, and T.K., with Patamon on T.K's head, were at the park at night. The reason why because they were waiting for the other Older Digidestined, except Mimi, to arrive. Even Davis, Yolei, and Cody, along with their Digimon, were also there at the park. They wanted to know about Tai telling the truth about Shadow knowing the Older Digidestined as well. Shadow, along with Gatomon holding DemiGrimdramon, were hiding in the shadow of the parks with even GrimSalamon in Shadow's arms as well, being a little nervous. "You better be right about this, Tai." Davis said to his role model, holding his Digimon partner in his arms. "I'm sure, Davis, just trust me on this." Tai replied to his successor with a smile, knowing what he is doing.

Just then, Matt, Joe, Izzy, and Sora arrived at the park to meet the others with all of them wearing their school clothes. "Okay, Tai we're here." Matt said to Tai with his arms in his pocket, wanting to know the sudden call. "Now what seems so important to bring us all here?" Izzy asked Tai as well, wondering about the sudden meeting. The Older Digidestined that arrived were in for a surprise today. "Let's just say we like you to meet someone." Tai replied to the team, before he turned to Kari and nodded his head. Kari then turns her head towards some shadows in the trees. "You can come out now." Kari called with her hands over her mouth for Shadow to come out. Just then, Shadow, Gatomon, GrimSalamon and Demigrimdramon appeared out of the shadows, surprising the Older Digidestined. Each Digidestined were confused and surprised at this new person appearing.

"Huh? Who's this guy?" Joe asked the group, adjusting his glasses to make sure he was seeing this right. "And who is that in Gatomon's paws and that Digimon''. Sora asked confused at the new guy. "Really? Is that how you treat old friends coming to see you guys first time in years?" Shadow sarcastically replied to the old Digidestined as he tried to calm down GrimSalamon in his arms, confusing the Older Digidestined. "Old friends?" Izzy asked Shadow with a confused look, also confused about what Shadow is saying. "Don't tell me you forgot already?" Shadow replied shaking his head at how they can't recognize him.

"Okay kid, just who are you?" Matt asked Shadow with a frown, a bit irritated about this kid. "Alright, if you must know, it's Shadow." Shadow answered to Matt, surprising the Older Digidestined. "Shadow?!" Everyone exclaimed out in shock, shocked to see Shadow again, only older in appearance. "That's right, and you already met Grimdramon, or Demigrimdramon in this case. And allow me to introduce GrimSalamon, Gatomon and Grimdramon's daughter" Shadow said to the group as he held GrimSalamon up, looking at his partner in Gatomon's paws.

"That's Grimdramon?!" Izzy asked surprise to see the Digimon again, only smaller in appearance. "He looks kind of smaller since the last time we saw him. And that's Gatomon and Grimdramon's daughter" Sora said in surprise to see, also surprised to see Grimdramon smaller in size. Davis, Yolei, Cody, and their Digimon partners were surprise on how the Older Digidestined reacted to Shadow and his partner like they were old friends. Matt, Izzy, Sora, and Joe each have tears in their eyes to see Shadow again. "Shadow!" Everyone exclaimed, before they then proceeded to run towards him, giving him a big group hug. Shadow was holding his breath from the tight embrace the others were giving him, while GrimSalamon was flying in the sky to avoid the hug.

"Uh, guys, I'm glad to see you again, but can you let me go?" Shadow asked his friends, struggling with his words. The other Digidestined realize what was happening, and let go. They still had tears coming down their faces. "Shadow, when did you get here?" Sora asked her old friend, wanting an answer on how his here. "I hope you didn't get hurt while coming here." Joe said to the Darkness user, wanting to know about Shadow's safety. "What I want to know is how are you and your partner are here in front of us." Izzy said to the Darkness user, wanting to know. "Not to mention you grown sense the last time we saw you." Matt said to Shadow, noticing his appearance. "Let's just say, I'm here right now, and doing okay at the moment." Shadow replied to his old friends with a smile. This was turning into a happy reunion between old friends. Everyone then sit around each other on the ground. "How did you come back? What was Traveling around the Digital world like? How has your hair still like that''? The Older Digidestined said as they looked at Shadow in enticement, wanting to ask Shadow many questions.

"First I came back the same way as Kari and the others, second my hair was like this when I was born and finally I'll tell you all of my adventures right now''. Shadow said to the group as he got on a tree branch and hanged upside down, getting the group to stand up. "Okay, but where should I start''. Shadow said to the group of Digidestined, not knowing how he should start. "How about from the beginning''. T.K suggested to the Darkness users, seating on a swing, while still feeling a little sad that Kari chose Shadow.

"Alright then. Maybe this could help as well''. Shadow said as he held his left hand out, with an orb of darkness appearing before it was sent to the ground, and widen in the shape of a TV screen. "This will help you guys see what happened. Anyway, I guess it all started a year after my Adventure with Tai and the others''. Shadow started to explain as the Darkness screen showed a 10-year-old Shadow with Grimdramon walking through a forest. "My adventure happened when I found this little girl in the forest''. Shadow said as the darkness screen showed Shadow hugging a 3-year-old girl that has short black hair, purple eyes, pale skin and wearing black clothes, making everyone widen their eyes at what they are seeing. "She traveled with me and Grimdramon and soon her Digi-egg hatched into a ShadowJackalmon''. Shadow said as the Darkness screen changed to show Shadow, Grimdramon, the girl and a Small Jackal Digimon, same size as Gatomon, only black, tail black as well with no ring, black wristbands on the wrist, small Dark Devil Wings on the back, pointy Jackal ears and Purple Eyes with the Digimon on all four like a jackal.

"We soon met other humans and their partners, with all of us hearing of a new evil in the Digital World and decided to team up again it''. Shadow said as he explained more of his old times as the darkness screen changed to show Shadow and Grimdramon next to 8 more humans and 8 more Digimon with Shadows covering them, only Shadow had goggles on with the team facing an advancing army with a giant monster like Digimon behind the army. "A threat to the Digital world''. Joe said in surprise at what he was hearing, never have thought something like this happened, while standing up. "Then why weren't us called over to help you''. Mimi asked the Darkness user in concern, wondering why she and the others weren't called to help. "Better question is why we weren't aware of this''. Patamon said from his spot on T.K's head, having never seen this happen in the Digital World. "The threat's name was Milleniummon and used some dark energy to keep the Digidestined from coming to help, and to keep the Digidestined's Digimon from seeing what was happening. His goal was to conquer the Digital World and real World''. Shadow said to the group, telling them why they weren't called to help out, while putting his hands behind his head.

"So I'm guessing that you and your team stopped him, right''. Matt said to Shadow, knowing that Shadow must have stopped him if he looks this relaxed. "We did, but it was a hard battle''. Shadow said to Matt as he turned to look at him, getting a sigh of relief from everyone. "But then what happened to your team''. Cody asked the Darkness user on what happened to his team, getting Shadow to look at him. "They traveled to another world''. Shadow said to Cody with a natural expression on his face, getting everyone to look at him. "Shadow. That's just not possible, others world don't exist''. Izzy said to the Darkness user, thinking that other worlds don't exist. "Oh I'm telling the truth, look''. Shadow said to the child of Knowledge as he crossed his arms, with the Darkness screen changing to show Shadow and Grimdramon stepping past a portal ,before they are in the land of the Sovereigns, before they met up with the Tamers team, who were about to enter to find a Sovereign.

"I met these guys that call their team the Digimon Tamers. Me and Grimdramon helped them out in this battle against some kind of program called the D-reaper''. Shadow said as he explained more of his time as the Darkness screen showed Shadow with the Tamers battling the D-reaper's agents. "After a very hard battle, we won and defeated the D-reaper and that world is where I got this''. Shadow said as he held his right hand up, showing his D3, before the D3 changed into his D-Powered Digivice, getting every to look at the Digivice in shock. "Whoa! A new Digivice! Amazing!''. Sora said in awe at seeing the new Digivice as she and the others started getting excited at Shadow's story. "Well, what happened next''. Yolei said in excitement at how amazing Shadow's story is going so far. "Me and Grimdramon traveled to another world, which was different with human Digimon and beast Digimon, along with that world being the world I got this from''. Shadow said to the group of Digidestined and Digimon as his D-Powered Digivice changed to his D-Tector, with the darkness screen showing Shadow and Grimdramon in a battle field with human and best Digimon battling each other.

"Well what happened''. Davis said in excitement at what happened in Shadow's time in this world. "There I gained the spirits of Darkness to battle against a Digimon called Lucemon, a Digimon that turned good to bad, along with gaining allies like 3 humans from that world. Two boys named Takuya and Kouchi and one girl named Zoe, along with three Digimon named Seraphimon, Ophanimon and Cherubimon''. Shadow said to the team with a smile as the Darkness screen showing Shadow with two boys, one with brown hair wearing red clothes, the other boy having black hair and wearing and green and white clothes and a girl that has blond hair, wearing purple with two angel Digimon and one giant Pink Digimon, but the female Angel Digimon was holding Grimdramon in her hands. "Wow, so these were the ones that helped you guys in that world''. Tai said in awe at seeing the Mega Digimon, with Gatomon giving a glare at DemiGrimdramon, who was hanging on Shadow's head.

"Well…there was one more person that helped me out''. Shadow said as he started to look nervous, looking anywhere, but at Kari, getting everyone confused. "Who was it?''. Patamon asked the Darkness user on who the last person that helped him out in the other world. "It was…Kari''. Shadow said as he revealed the last person that helped him, making everyone widen their eyes while Kari was playing with GrimSalamon, with the Darkness screen showing Shadow hugging a 9-year-old Kari that was wearing a pink outfit. Everyone looked at Kari, who held up her Fusion Loader as it changed into a Blue D-tector with the symbol of water on the screen. "I was chosen by the spirits of water and became a Legendary warrior''. Kari said to the group without looking at them as she put her D-tector in her pocket, getting everyone to look back at Shadow.

"Anyway, the next world was like our Digital World, only this one had a program called King Drasil. The King of that Digital World''. Shadow said as he told the group on the next world he visited, getting everyone, but Kari to jaw drop in shock. "That Digital World was in danger of Seven Digimon called the Seven Demon Lords, who wanted to destroy that Digital World''. Shadow said to the group on the great threat of that world, getting everyone to shiver at the name 'Demon lords', with the Darkness screen showing the Seven Demon Lords destroying a forest. "I don't think they sound friendly with a name like that''. DemiVeemon said in fear at what he was hearing and seeing on the Darkness screen. "Oh they so weren't friendly''. DemiGrimdramon said to his fellow Dragon, having no problem hanging on Shadow's head.

"Me and Grimdramon met King Drasil and group of Mega Digimon called the Royal Knights and joined them in their battle against the Demon Lords''. Shadow said to the group on what happened, with the Darkness screen showing a 11-year-old Shadow and Grimdramon kneeling on the ground in front of some crystals in a cave with many Knight like Digimon surrounding them. "Is that Omnimon!''. Matt said as he pointed at the Omnimon, getting everyone to notice the Omnimon. "Omnimon is a member of the Royal Knights. Anyway, we battled in King Drasil's name and soon Shroudryumon became a member of the Royal Knights and we defeated the Demon Lords, but for some reason, me and Grimdramon were sent into the Future of that Digital World, where we met with this group of Humans who were searching for a lost child and study the Digital World''. Shadow said as he explained more of his time in the Digital World, with the Darkness screen showing Shadow and Grimdramon meeting with some adult humans, making everyone widen their eyes at hearing Shadow time traveled. "Me and Grimdramon decided to travel with them, with me helping this man called Spance Damon create a new Digivice, which soon became this''. Shadow said as he showed his D-tector, which turned into his Digivice Burst, with the Darkness screen showing Shadow seating on the ground next to a reddish brown hair man, helping make a new Digivice.

"You and some man created your own Digivice!''. Izzy called out in shock that Shadow and this Spance Damon created their own Digivice, which Shadow nodded to Izzy. "Anyway, after an incident, me and Grimdramon went to that Digital World's human world with some of the human adults. We became agents of a company called DATS, who helped us live in that world for a few months, helping that world from Digimon that try to wrack the place, but we stopped them''. Shadow said to the group on what happened further in his time in that world, with the Darkness screen showing Shadow and Grimdramon in a small house, with Shadow wearing a black DATS outfit.

"You look good with those clothes''. Sora said to Shadow, thinking Shadow looked cute wearing a DATS Outfit, making Shadow smile at her. "Thanks, but moving on. The next world was really different. The Digital World was full of different zones, with me and Grimdramon meeting this girl called Nene Amano''. Shadow said as he started explaining the next world he visited, with the darkness screen showing Shadow and Grimdramon facing a Brown hair girl that was beautiful, making all the boys, except Shadow blush at seeing her.

"I think I'm in love''. All the boys except Shadow, Cody and DimiGrimdramon said with a love sick look on their faces, getting the girls angry. "Soon me and Grimdramon met other Digimon and gained the Fusion Loader and became an army that wanted to bring peace, called 'Twilight Union''. Soon we found Kari and Gatomon in that Digital World, where she joined in and got her Fusion Loader, with many Digimon joining Kari, with her starting her own army called 'Light's hope''. Shadow said to the group as the Darkness screen showed Shadow meeting other Digimon, gaining a Fusion Loader, meeting Kari and Gatomon again with Kari having a Fusion Loader, with many Digimon joining Kari. "It was also during our time in that world that GrimSalamon was born''. Gatomon said to the group as she rocked GrimSalamon to sleep, with the darkness screen showing Kari, Shadow, Nene, Grimdramon and Gatomon surrounding a new born GrimSalamon. "We also met a human called Christopher and his army 'Blue Flare' and another human named Mikey, who was the general of the Fusion Fighters. We all had a few problems at first, but we soon joined together to save that Digital World from the Bagura army''. Shadow said to the group as the Darkness screen showed Shadow, Kari, Gatomon, Grimdramon and GrimSalamon next to Mikey, Nene and Christopher with a red Dragon Digimon on a cliff.

"After that, I blocked Kari's memories so that she and Gatomon won't feel sadness during our time away, but for the record, it was Kari's idea''. Shadow said as he pointed at Kari, who stood up with GrimSalamon in her left hand. "And if you don't believe him, here's the proof. Reload MarineAngemon!''. Kari called out to the group as she held her Fusion Loader in her right hand, which glowed, before MarineAngemon came out, making all the girls look at the little Digimon with hearts in their eyes, while the boys were blushing at how cute he is. "I'll admit that little guy is cut-wait, Angemon''. T.K said as he realized that MarineAngemon had Angemon is its name, getting MarineAngemon to laugh, before she went back into the Fusion Loader.

"After traveling all those different Digital Worlds, I came back to our Digital World, where I found the Digi-Egg of Darkness and where my Digivice became a D3''. Shadow said to the group about the time he returned back to their Digital World, with the Darkness screen showing Shadow holding a Digi-Egg like the Digi-egg of courage, only black and purple with two horns, the symbol of Darkness on it in his left and his D3 in his right hand. "And after 2 months, I finally met up with Kari''. Shadow said to the group on what he did in his time, with the Darkness Screen showing Shadow and Grimdramon saving Kari and Gatomon. The Darkness screen that disappeared as everyone looked at Shadow, who looked at the ground. "Now all of you guys know the truth of me''. Shadow said to the group as he continued to look down at the ground, only to feel a hand on his shoulder, getting Shadow to look to see that Tai was the one that did that.

"You came clean and told us everything, Shadow. That alone shows us that you trust us, just like how we trust you''. Tai said to Shadow with a smile, glad to see Shadow come clean, with everyone nodding their head in agreement with a smile. Shadow looked at his friends and smiled at seeing them still trust him. "Well it's good to finally have you back with us''. Sora said to Shadow, happy to have him back before she gave the Darkness user a hug, which he returned before Sora moved away.

"You gonna live in the Human world right. You're not just visiting are you''. Izzy said to the Darkness user, wanting to know if Shadow was gonna stay in the human world. Everyone looked at Shadow as he nodded to Izzy. "Yeah I'll stay in the real world for a while. I've lived in the Digital world for long enough''. Shadow said as he made his decision to stay in the real world, having experienced in his time in the Data Squad world. The Older Digidestined smiled at hearing Shadow would stay, while Patamon and Gatomon were happy to have Grimdramon with them, while DemiGrimdramon was still blushing with GrimSalamon happy. "But where are you gonna stay? You don't have a house''. Joe said as he knew that Shadow didn't have a house to stay in. Everyone widen their eyes as they realized that Joe was right about Shadow not having a house.

"I'll just go spend the night in an ally way like I used to. It will be like old times, even though it's dirty''. Shadow said as he was fine with going back to living on the streets. Everyone widen their eyes at what Shadow said about living back on the streets. They can't believe that Shadow say that he would go back to living on the streets. "That's not gonna happen. Your gonna live with me and Kari''. Tai said to Shadow as he was keeping a promise that he would let Shadow stay at his and Kari's home, not gonna let Shadow go back to living on the streets. Everyone widen their eyes at Tai, while the Digimon were surprised. "Tai, that's not necessary. I'm fine wit- ''. Shadow started to say until he was cut off from Tai. "No way! No how! I will not let a friend of mine sleep on the streets, especially when that friend is my little Sister's boyfriend''. Tai declared as he would not let Kari's boyfriend sleep on the streets.

Sora, Matt, Izzy and Joe widen their eyes at what Tai said, while Davis and T. K got a sad look, while Shadow and Kari blushed that Tai just released the secret. "You two really became a couple. Why didn't you tell us''? Sora said as she smiled at Shadow and Kari happily, glad that Shadow and Kari became a couple. "Congratulations''. Matt, Izzy and Joe said to Shadow and Kari, congratulating them. Shadow and Kari still had their faces red, but they nodded to Matt, Sora, Izzy and Joe. "T-T-Thanks''. Shadow and Kari said at the same time, feeling embarrassed that Tai let out the secret. Shadow then looked at Kari, with his face now natural. "Kari. Do you really mind letting me stay at your house? I'm fine with going back to living on the streets- ''. Shadow was cut off again as Kari made her decision. "I don't mind. I really want you to stay with me and Tai''. Kari said as she looked at Shadow, begging him to stay with her. Shadow looked at Kari surprised, before he smiled at her. "Alright you win. I'll stay at your house''. Shadow said as he finally accepted to stay at Kari's house, making Kari and Tai smile. "Yay''. Kari said feeling happy that Shadow was gonna stay at her house. "Well, it's time for us to go home''. Tai said as he checked the time. Everyone got up from the ground and nodded to Tai. "See ya tomorrow''. All the Digidestined said as they left the park to head home, with Shadow walking with Tai and Kari to their house with Gatomon still holding DemiGrimdramon.

(5 Minutes later)

Shadow had to admit that he was nerves. Screw that, he was more nerves than anything else in his whole life. The Reason why is because…Shadow was going to meet Kari and Tai's parents.

Shadow remembered that Kari offered to stay at her house before she left the Digital World, but Shadow hasn't really gave much thought about that and now he was wishing he did, while Shadow was holding GrimSalamon to help calm down. Tai and Kari were trying to help Shadow calm down on their way there. They knew how important this was to Shadow since he and Kari are now a couple and that he wanted to get along with Kari's parents. Shadow remembered Kari's parents three years ago, but he hasn't really though of them since he was busy saving many worlds in the past.

"Come on Shadow. You don't need to feel nervous. Also nice goggles''. Tai said to his friend with a smile, trying to help Shadow calm down. "You can say that all day Tai, but I'm not really getting calmer here and thanks for the complement''. Shadow said to his old leader still feeling nerves, while grateful that Tai finally said something about his goggles. Kari then kissed Shadow on the check, which made him blush. "You'll be fine. I told my parents about you and they thought that you were nice. Just be yourself and you'll do fine''. Kari said to her boyfriend with a smile, really hoping Shadow dose alright with her parents.

Shadow took deep breaths as he calmed down. "I'll try''. Shadow said to Kari as him, Tai, Kari, Gatomon, GrimSalamon and Demi-Grimdramon arrived at the front door of Tai and Kari's house, making Shadow look at the door as he remembered the times he played with Kari 3 years ago. Shadow took a deep breath as Tai opened the door. "We're home''. Tai called out as he and Kari entered the house with Gatomon following them and GrimSalamon following her mother, but Shadow stayed outside, still feeling nervous. Tai and Kari's mother and father came out of the kitchen. "Welcome home''. Kari and Tai's mother said to her children with a smile, wearing a blue shirt and brown shorts. Tai and Kari's father then notice Demi-Grimdramon in Gatomon's arms and GrimSalamon behind Gatomon. "Who is that in Gatomon's arms and behind her''. Tai and Kari's father said looking at Demi-Grimdramon and GrimSalamon, wearing a white shirt and black pants.

Mrs Kamiya looked at Demi-Grimdramon and GrimSalamon while Tai and Kari looked behind them to see Shadow was still outside. "That's Demi-Grimdramon and GrimSalamon''. Tai said to his parents, introducing the Digimon to them, getting Mr. Kamiya to look at his son. "Where did you find this little dragon and little creature''. Mr. Kamiya said to his son, wondering how they find these two Digimon. "How about instead of telling, let Kari show you''. Tai said to his father as he looked at Kari with a smile. Both Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya looked at Kari while she smiled before she looked at the door. "You can come in now''. Kari said to Shadow outside for him to enter, but Shadow didn't come in because he was two nervous. Kari sighed as she went outside and grabbed Shadow's right arm and dragged him inside. Kari didn't let go of Shadow's hand even when she brought him in front of her parents. Shadow looked at Kari's parents, still feeling nerves, while Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya looked at Shadow in confused at seeing him here and why he looked nerves, while Mrs. Kamiya thought he looked familiar.

"Who is this young boy''. Mr. Kamiya said as he looked down to see Kari holding Shadow's hand. Kari smiled at both her parents. "Mum, Dad. Meet my boyfriend and childhood friend Shadow''. Kari said with no regret in her voice making Shadow widen his eyes at her. "She didn't even hesitate''. Shadow thought to himself in surprise at how Kari had no regret in her voice. Shadow expected both Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya to look at him in shock, but instead they looked at him with a smile and with an approval look on their faces. "So, this is your friend from 3 years ago, named Shadow''. Mr. Kamiya said as he smiled at Shadow, which surprised him at how Mr. Kamiya wasn't scared of him. "He is quit the good-looking boy''. Mrs. Kamiya said as she smiled at Shadow, which surprised Shadow again. "You sure know how to pick a good boyfriend, Kari''. Mrs Kamiya said to her daughter with a smile, thinking Kari had good choice in men.

Kari blushed at her mother's words, while Tai laughed at what Mrs. Kamiya said. "Why''. Shadow said quietly, making everyone look at him, who was looking at the ground. "Why are you being so nice to me? Kari and Tai must have told you about me and about all the horrible things I did in the past. So how can you be nice to me''. Shadow said looking at Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya, wanting to know why they were being nice to him. Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya smiled at Shadow again. "Tai and Kari told us all about you and what you did in the past''. Mr Kamiya said to Shadow, having been told about Shadow in the past. "They also told us how you were homeless, how you were alone and that you didn't have a family. We understood that you wanted a better life and why you did all that horrible stuff in the past''. Mrs. Kamiya said to Shadow, understanding what Shadow wanted since she left her parents and home a long time ago.

"Then why are you being nice to me''. Shadow said to the adults, still wanting to know why they were still nice to Shadow. "Kari told us how she changed your life''. Mr. Kamiya said to Shadow with a smile. "It really warmed our hearts to know that our little Kari helped you when you were lost and alone and became your friend when you didn't have any''. Mrs Kamiya said still smiling at Shadow, being reminded of a close friend of hers from seeing Shadow. Shadow looked at Kari, who was still smiling at him, making Shadow smile back at Kari, before he looked back at Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya. "Tai also told us how you protected Kari when you went to the digital world and how you took care of her when she was sick''. Mr. Kamiya said to Shadow, grateful for Shadow taking care of her.

"I made a vow to protect Kari from anything''. Shadow said to Mr. Kamiya, remembering he made a promise to protect Kari from harm. "Kari also told us about that. It was so sweet how you made a vow to protect my little girl''. Mrs. Kamiya said to Shadow, smiling at him. "It was so romantic''. Mrs. Kamiya finished with a happy look, remembering how her husband did the same for her when she was homeless. Shadow and Kari blushed at Mrs. Kamiya's words. "But what about after Tai and Kari return home after we saved the Digital world. Did you see how sad Kari was''. Shadow said to the adults as he remembered that he stayed in the Digital world and Kari cried when he stayed.

"It was painful to see Kari cry for you when you stayed in the Digital world''. Mr. Kamiya said to Shadow, having hated seeing Kari cry for Shadow three years ago. "It showed how much you meant to Kari. It warmed out hearts to see our little girl finally found a boy that she would forever care for''. Mrs. Kamiya said to Shadow, knowing that Kari was in love with him when she saw Kari cry for Shadow. Shadow and Kari blushed again at Mrs. Kamiya's words. Shadow looked at Tai and Tai knew what Shadow was thinking. "I didn't tell them''. Tai whispered to Shadow, having not told his parents about the whole Light and Darkness forbidden love.

Shadow kept looking at Tai before he looked back at Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya. "You already have our trust for taking care of Kari when she was young''. Mr. Kamiya said to Shadow, trusting him from Kari told him all about Shadow. "We can also tell that Kari wants to be with you, so you have our approval to be with our daughter. Besides, you remind me of a close friend''. Mrs. Kamiya said to Shadow, liking him very much and how his like her old friend. Shadow looked at both Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya in disbelief, but he then smiled at them. "Thank you for trusting me, I'll take good care of Kari''. Shadow said making Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya smile, happy that they're okay with letting him date Kari.

Tai and Kari smiled at seeing Shadow not feeling nerves anymore. They were sure that Shadow would get along with their parents in the future. Gatomon, GrimSalamon and Demi-Grimdramon smiled at seeing Shadow smiling as well. Shadow and DemiGrimdramon get accosted to the house with many things. First the TV room that Kari use and Tai uses, Mr. Kamiya's computer room with his normal room with his door, the kitchen and many more, while surprised to see Kari's pet Miko again, who was happy to see Shadow again. Shadow didn't do much. He just sits down on the couch, reading his book of Darkness that he brought out and sometimes watches TV and talk to his Digimon.

He would even stroke Miko's fur as the house cat was next to him. He even helped out with some stuff around the house. He helped mister Kamiya with hard paper work that only an adult could help with easily, surprising Mister Kamiya. He helped Mr.s Kamiya with seating up dinner and helped cocked Dinner, surprising Mr.s Kamiya. He helped Tai with Homework that was hard for Tai, but very easy for Shadow. Kari didn't need help since she has pretty much stayed next to Shadow the whole time, even when they had dinner, with Shadow having almost perfect table manners because he didn't take his gloves off, despite staying in the Digital world for a long time. DemiGrimdramon and GrimSalamon didn't do much. They just stayed next to Gatomon as she spent time with her family all day and just hugged him nonstop. Soon it was time for bed, with Shadow having to use sleep clothes that Tai wearied when he was Shadow' age, which is a Black shirt and grey pants. Shadow was going to spend the night with Kari in her room.

Right now, Shadow and Kari were lying down on the bed, talking to each other, while DemiGrimdramon, GrimSalamon and Gatomon are already asleep on the floor next to the bed that Shadow and Kari are using. "This will get some getting used to''. Shadow said to Kari, who was wearing Pink Sleep clothes, not used to sleeping in a house after what he went through living in the streets and Digital world, but had his own place in the Data Squad world and have spend the night at Mikey's world. "You'll get used to it. I'm just glad to finally have you back''. Kari said as she leaned her head on Shadow's right chest, making Shadow and her blush.

However, Shadow then remembered something. "I got something for you Kari''. Shadow said to his girlfriend, getting Kari's attention as she looked at him. Shadow then created a small black portal at the side of him with his left hand, before he had his hand go into the Black portal and pulled it out, holding Kari's scarf that she wearied when she was a kid. Kari looked at the scarf in disbelief from what she is seeing. "My Scarf…''. Kari said in disbelief to see that Shadow kept it after all this time. "Whenever I was in trouble or having a hard time making my next move, I always brought this out and thought of you. I always thought of you and always dreamed about you Kari. I missed you''. Shadow said to Kari as he told her that he always thought of her when he was having trouble, even before his travels with her in the Fusion World. Kari's eyes started to fill with tears as she looked at Shadow with pure happiness. "Shadow!''. Kari shouted out as she kissed Shadow on the lips, making his eyes widen in shock, before he closed them and kissed Kari back, with both Shadow and Kari falling into the bed. Shadow and Kari kept kissing, even when they got under the covers, before they stopped and looked at each other with love. Shadow and Kari then closed their eyes as they let sleep take over, both having their arms wrapped around each other, happy to have each other back.

(Next Day)

Students were walking to school to start the day. Kari went ahead of Shadow because his starting school today. Kari was wearing the clothes she wearied in her dream with Shadow giving her outfit back to her in the morning, with Kari having just walked to the front entrance to the school with the other students walking into the school. She and Shadow woke up together, with Kari staying in bed a little longer, while Shadow prepared for the day. He washed his clothes, took a shower, made breakfast by himself through reading a book that teaches cooking for everyone, surprising them when they came out of the bed and liked the breakfast that Shadow made them. Tai and Kari left for school with Kari taking Gatomon and GrimSalamon, while Shadow stayed behind for Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya to sign Shadow for School for the day. Kari right now was walking to the front door of her school. "Kari!" Someone said from behind, causing Kari to look towards to where the voice was coming from.

Kari saw Davis and T.K., who were waving a hand in the air to get her attention. "Hey guys!" Kari happily said to the boys, glad to see them as well with a waving hand that is her right hand. Unfortunately, this happy reunion won't last for long. Suddenly, someone yanked Kari away from their view. When Kari turned around to see who grabbed her, she was not happy. "Hey Kari". The person said smoothly, with an arm around her waist. This someone turned out to be an older Jaden wearing red shirt, black pants and black shoes, the school bully. "Jaden. What do you want?" Kari asked the bully, eyes narrowed at Jaden. "Now Kari, is that how you treat your loving boyfriend?" Jaden said to Kari, keeping his hand around her waist. "For the last time, Jaden, I'm not your girlfriend and I never will". Kari replied at Jaden with narrowed eyes. Even after all these years, Jaden still hasn't given up on trying to get Kari to love him still, even in school. He threatens to hurt her friends, making Kari sometimes spend the afternoon with him after school.

"Come now, Kari, why don't we settle this with a loving kiss?" Jaden said to Kari, before he grabbed Kari's face, then pulls Kari's lips towards his lips. Kari was struggling against Jaden, trying to break the hold he had on her body and face. Their lips were mere inches away from each other now. Kari could just use some skills she learned from Shadow during their time in the Fusion World, but she didn't want to hurt anyone. Davis, T.K., and the other kids saw what Jaden was trying to do. They were disgusted about Jaden's reputation as the school bully, and his behavior and what he does. He also wanted Kari as his girlfriend in school and even uses her friends to make Kari spend her time together with him. Kari had no choice so she spends some afternoons with him to keep him away from her friends and would let Jaden sometimes kiss her check so that he wouldn't hurt Davis or T.K.

"Man, that's guy just doesn't learn, does he?" Davis said to T.K with a frown, disgusted with Jaden. "I agree." T.K. said to his leader, not liking Jaden at all like the rest of the school students. "Wish someone can stand up to him". A random male student said. "Yeah, his nothing more than a jerk that get his ways". A random female student said, hating Jaden. Just as Jaden and Kari were about to kiss, Jaden was punched in the face, sending him a few feet away from Kari. Jaden was now holding his face in pain now from the punch. "Who did that?!" Jaden shouted out in rage, wanting to make the one who hit him pay, sitting up, looking for the culprit.

Every student saw what happen, and want to know who punched Jaden in the face. They all turned, including Kari, Davis, T.K., around and saw someone unexpected and never seen before at school. "Shadow?" Kari, Davis, and T.K. said, surprise to see Shadow arrive at school. Shadow was wearing his normal clothes and was glaring at Jaden from what he tried to do to Kari. Shadow made it to school by teleporting there so he wouldn't be late for class, but he was angry when he saw Jaden try to force kiss Kari. The other students in the area, have mixed reactions to Shadow. "Who is that guy?" A random student asked in shock at Shadow's entrance. "I don't know, but this guy is awesome!" Another student said in awe from seeing Shadow. "His so handsome and mysterious!" A female student said, with hearts in her eyes. The other females also have hearts in their eyes as well just by looking at Shadow.

Jaden, on the other hand, was not happy at what happened. "You! Are you the one that punched me?!" Jaden asked Shadow in rage, who was standing between him and Kari. "Yes, and I suggest you stay down." Shadow replied at Jaden with his arms crossed. "You're dead!" Jaden yelled out in rage, then got up and throw punches at Shadow, who dodges them all very easily. Shadow even blocked a few and some kicks from Jaden as well, seeing Jaden was really weak. Jaden was breathing hard until he got a good look at Shadow.

"Wait, you look familiar." Jaden said to Shadow, remembering seeing him somewhere before. He stared at Shadow for a few minutes until his eyes widen in shock. "Hey! You're that freak!" Jaden yelled in realization, now remember seeing Shadow years ago, only older now. Shadow then punched Jaden hard in the face, knocking him out cold on the ground. Shadow then turns to Kari, and holds out his right hand in front of her. "Shall we go inside, Kari?" Shadow asked his girlfriend with a smile, wishing to walk in with her. Kari smiled at Shadow and placed her left hand in Shadow's hand. "Yeah, I would like that very much Shadow". Kari said to Shadow with a smile, before they both walked hand in hand to the school.

Everyone, including Davis and T.K., watched what has happened, and were surprised. Students then begin to gossip around Shadow, along with Kari and Shadow being a couple or not. Shadow was now the talk of the school, along with standing up to Jaden as well. Meanwhile in the trees, Gatomon, GrimSalamon and Demigrimdramon were watching with Gatomon holding GrimSalamon. "Shadow has become stronger since I've last seen him''. Gatomon said as she is impressed with how much stronger Shadow has become. "We spent 3 years together in the Digital world, so of course he would become stronger''. Demigrimdramon said to Gatomon, flying next to her as he told her that his partner has train in the Digital world, with GrimSalamon asleep in Gatomon's paws. Gatomon smiled at Demigrimdramon, before she jumped straight into the computer room through the window with the Dragon flying after her.

(5 Minutes later)

It has been 5 minutes since the scene at the front of the School, with Kari, T. K and Davis in their class rooms with many other students, ready to begin school for today. The teacher then came in the room, which the teacher being a male in his early twenties. "Class. I would like to welcome a new student for today so treat him right. You can come in now''. The teacher said as he looked at the door, which slide open to revel Shadow with his arms crossed and scarf hanging out as he walked up next to the teacher and looked at the class.

All the girls except Kari were looking at Shadow with huge blushes on their faces with many boys staring at him in awe from standing up against Jaden. "Would you like to tell your name''. The teacher said to Shadow, wanting to hear his name. "Shadow Nonaka''. Shadow simply said to the class, causing the boys and girls to stare at him in more awe from hearing his name. "Thank for saying your name. You can sit next to the girl with the camera around her neck''. The teacher said as he pointed at an empty table that was next to Kari's table. Shadow nodded to the Teacher as he walked passed over Student's tables and sat down on a chair next to the table next to Kari with his cloak open showing his inside clothes. Shadow and Kari made eye contact and smiled at each other, with Kari blowing a kiss to Shadow making Shadow blush, but still smiled at Kari as they both looked at the teacher as he started class.

And done finally. I hope you all enjoyed the changes and everything. I plan to make things better then the original version of this story, with Kari having her Digimon as well. Anyway, I'm still gonna work on Shadow's adventures in the other worlds, but I need my helper and his on a vacation. See ya later.
