Who the final couples are won't be announced. Sorry. I'll only warn you
that you might not expect who or how all the couples end up together.

"Things can change. No one timeline is absolute. There are stronger
timelines that shine brightly, but that doesn't make the dull pale ones any
less real," explained the disembodied voice of a young woman. "This story
begins with an event that happened after the defeat of Belial Vamdemon.
Because of that one event, things changed. The life situations of 2027 may
not come to pass as random chance deals the Chosen a whole new reality."
-----------------
With Patamon on his head, Takeru shouldered a backpack laden with food as
he walked out of his apartment and met up with Iori, Miyako and their
digimon at the elevator. Takaishi's thoughts began to wonder....
~~~~~~~~~~
August first is the day the first Odaiba group will always remember. It was
the end of carefree days and innocence, and the start of the grandest
adventure anyone has ever had. Even the newer Chosen and Digi-destined
around the world honor that day. The day when the children started to rise
up to protect their parents, when even eight-years-olds could become all
that they could be to bring about a better tomorrow.
August first, 2004, marked the fifth anniversary of when seven kids were
whisked away from summer camp and saved two worlds. It was also almost two
years since both worlds were saved again, with the Odaiba teaming numbering
a dozen members and over two-hundred Chosen and Digi-destined from around
the world helping as well. Now the Odaiba groups has over two dozen members
counting the children that Oikawa had infected with the dark seeds and
became Chosen upon Belial Vamdemon's death.
Things really hadn't changed much since the defeat of Belial Vamdemon.
Yamato's in senior high school and his band, now called 'Wolves of the
Hunt,' go on a few tours during school breaks. He hopes to be lining up a
major recording contract soon. He's still dating Sora, and they've been
getting really close.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yamato was on stage playing in front of a crowd of college students at a
university in Kyoto. Garurumon prowled on stage as part of the band's act.
Sora smiled as she watched from backstage standing next to her father and
Piyomon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taichi, Sora and Jyou are also attending senior high school. Jyou's at a
private school that'll supposedly help him get accepted to Tokyo University
so he can study to be a doctor there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taichi, Sora and Yamato were talking in front of their school. Each dressed
in drab gray colors of their school uniform. Jyou rushed past them and down
the street in a blue uniform. He was straightening his tie with toast
hanging out of his mouth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi still lives in America. You can never be too sure what she'll look
like each time you see her. At least she'll be visiting today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi, once again back to her natural light brown hair, and opting for a
cowgirl outfit of leather boots, jeans, loose brown heavy cloth shirt, and
a cowboy hat. "Boy is it hot!" Tachikawa exclaimed, leaning down and
fanning herself by pinching the top of her shirt and flutter it against her
skin. This 'accidentally' gave the guy checking x-ray imaging of the
luggage a glimpse of her breasts.
The guy failed to notice the outline of a strange plant in the bag as he
was paying too much attention to Mimi.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Koushiro probably could've skipped a grade and be in senior high school...
if he wasn't too busy working on his computers and actually spent some time
on his homework.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mrs. Izumi frowned looking over her son's shoulder as he added a new piece
of hardware to a computer while several textbooks sat on his desk
collecting dust.
Tentomon was on another computer playing an online game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miyako is on the prowl for 'Mr. Perfect' and has dated quite a few guys,
including Koushiro, Ken, Daisuke and myself. Though she firmly believes
that there's no kissing on the first date and that nothing comes off until
the wedding night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daisuke moved in to give Miyako a kiss, but ended up kissing her apartment
door as she ducked out of the way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ken is still living in the Tamachi section of Tokyo, but is no longer in
the advance classes. Without the dark seed, Ken has become a normal shy
young man.
Hikari, Daisuke and I are now in junior high school with mostly the same
class load. Daisuke and I have physical education, while Hikari has home
economics.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daisuke rolled on the ground laughing while Takeru was beet red with
embarrassment and clutching a baseball bat. Hikari glared daggers with food
splattered over her face. She was holding a pot filled with food and a
baseball that had entered through an open window.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Iori is now in fifth grade and learning that not all his concerns at school
are text book related.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A girl in a wheelchair asked Iori if he would have lunch with her, while
another girl with shoulder length black hair and brown eyes glared at them.
Hida just fidgeted, not knowing how to respond.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today we gather again. To share our fond memories, and try again to get
over some of the bad ones that still haunt us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Chosen were thankful that it was a beautiful day for a picnic. They
were all at Odaiba Park with their digimon. While the assembled teens got
some strange looks concerning their digimon, no one bothered them.
"You know, there's a question I've been meaning to ask you, Hikari," Miyako
said with a smile. "What was it like for you to become a Chosen for the
first time?"
Hikari shuddered. "Not one of my happier memories. Shortly after finding
out that Tailmon had been tortured by Vamdemon and made into one of his
loyal servants, I surrendered to him so he wouldn't hurt anyone else. He
wanted me dead specifically, because my powers come from light."
Miyako's eyes widened. "You went to him, knowing he wanted to kill you?"
Hikari nodded. "Yeah. But if I hadn't, Sora and Yamato would be dead now
and who knows how many other people."
An evil voice whispered in the air, "Let's correct that now."
The Chosen looked around and then all stared at the sky as it caught fire.
At the center of the blazing inferno there was a darkness that grew. And
over the crackling flames, the sounds of the ocean could be heard.
A shiver ran down the backs of the Chosen as they watched helplessly as the
darkness grew. They could now see a black ocean lapping against gray sand.
On the beach stood a figure in red robes, who began to laugh.
The evil laughter plunged their hearts into despair, knowing one of their
strongest foes was about to return. A digimon that was so evil that only
the name 'Demon' would properly fit him.
Demon leapt through the now open portal and called out, "Prepare to die,
Chosen!" With that the evil digimon grabbed his robes and tore them away.
The sky exploded in flames as the true form of Demon stood before them,
towering over ten stories in height with jet black wings, fur covered body,
and hideously long nails. The image was that of the ugliest pit fiend to be
found in the lowest depths of hell.
"Boy, did you pick a bad time to show up," Daisuke sneered. "Everyone
evolve!"
Taichi was the first to act, making Agumon warp evolve to War Greymon. The
golden Ultimate flew at Demon, claws gleaming and ready to rend away evil
flesh.
Demon's hand ignited with flames from the bowels of hell, and he slapped
War Greymon to the ground. "What can you possibly do against me?" Demon
questioned, while stepping on War Greymon.
"Try giving us time to evolve," Imperial Dramon Fighter Form mocked.
"Positron Lasar!" he cried out, firing his wrist cannon at Demon's face.
Many more attacks were used as well from the various digimon now evolved at
the adult stage.
"Two Ultimates and bunch of adults don't scare me," Demon retorted,
showering Imperial Dramon in hellish fire.
"Who are you calling an adult? Holy Arrow!" Angewomon's arrow pierced
Demon's arm.
"I might have to worry about you. Then again..." Demon turned and glared
down. "...I can just kill your partner and you won't have any power!" He
raised his hand.
Hikari nearly pissed her panties as she shrank back, not sure where to run.
"Takeru, we need to jogress!" Iori cried out.
Takeru clenched his fists, knowing it would take too long to jogress evolve
and have Shakkoumon move into position to save Hikari. If she was going to
be saved, he had to act now. He cried out, "Angemon!"
Angemon rushed between Demon and Hikari, feeling energy being fed to him
from Takeru. He knew what he had to do to survive and protect Hikari. He
evolved into Holy Angemon. As Demon's hellfire launched from the evil
digimon's hands, the holy angel carved the sky and called out, "Heaven's
Gate!"
The fires of hell tried to burn away and destroy the holy gateway. Holy
Angemon strained to keep it up as Demon tried to break the portal.
"Try to force Demon into the gate!" Yamato yelled.
Demon laughed. "No single dimension could hold all my power. You would only
delay the inevitable again."
"Then why don't I blow your head off now? Positron Lasar!" True to his
word, Imperial Dramon fired his cannon at the back of Demon's neck.
However, it failed to remove the evil digimon's head.
Demon's attack ended, as he clutched his head. "You will pay for that!"
Demon then gripped Imperial Dramon by the neck and began to strangle him
with a burning hand. The evil digimon then yelped in pain and lifted his
foot.
War Greymon streaked into the air, covered in Demon's blood. He chuckled
coldly, "Careful what you step on."
"Something's wrong!" Holy Angemon yelled backing away from Heaven's Gate.
"It won't close!"
Even Demon looked at the gate as large cracks began to form on it. The
older Chosen were once again struck with terror upon seeing two large white
gloved hands come out of the portal and grab the sides of it. A sword
materialized into one of the hands before it stabbed down, further breaking
the holy gate. With a sound mightier than thunder, the gate exploded. When
the smoke cleared, a two story tall, hellish-looking clown hovered in the
air.
"I'm back!" Piemon chirped. "Miss me? I know I miss all of you, even you
newbies."
Imperial Dramon used the distraction to break free of Demon's grip, and
tried to blow his head off again.
Piemon grimaced. "Oh, Demmy, that looks painful. I'll help you... if you
agree to serve me as a new Dark Master."
Demon glared, his face mangled from the attack. "Stupid clown! I will serve
no one by myself!"
"If that's your wish." Piemon sighed. "Trump Sword." A pair of swords
formed out of thin air and streaked toward Demon. The demonic digimon tried
to bat away the attack but they changed directions and flew behind Demon
and quite literally rammed themselves up his ass.
Demon howled in pain before deleting.
Piemon frowned, looking at Imperial Dramon Fighter Form, Angewomon, Holy
Angemon, War Greymon, and more adult digimon than you could shake a stick
at. "My, my, too many playmates." He pulled out a small stack of cards. He
flashed the cards toward the Chosen to show that each card had a picture of
one of them on it. He then began shuffling the cards. "It's no fun to play
like this. I'll just have to restack the deck."
"Get him now!" Taichi cried out.
"Too late!" Piemon stopped shuffling and launched the twelve cards he had
at each of the children. As each Chosen was struck, their digimon reverted
to second stage baby form. Piemon laughed. "Oh, darn. No one got lucky." He
shrugged. "Anyway, once you figure things out, be sure to pay me a visit."
He waved. "Tata for now!" With that, Piemon cackled as he vanished into the
air, his demented laughter echoing long after he had completely disapeared.
The Chosen looked around, completely disorientated.
Chibimon hopped over to Daisuke. "What happened, Daisuke? We were going to
deal with that clown guy, and then POOF!" He spread his arms wide.
"Nothing!"
Mimi waved. "V-mon, I'm over here." She then stared at Daisuke, then looked
down, looked back at Daisuke, and back down. She then pull at her shirt and
saw a lace bra covering her breasts.
Chibimon looked confused. "Are you all right, Mimi?"
Ken suddenly bolted toward Mimi and slapped his hand away. "Stop looking!"
"Oh, man...." Sora looked up from playing with her green sun-dress. "Tell
me this is NOT happening!"
Hikari fell to the ground, her legs seemingly unable to support her own
weight. "This isn't possible.... This simply can't... happen...."
Nyaromon looked around. "Let me guess... all your bodies have been
switched."
Miyako tugged nervously at her red blouse. "That is an accurate hypothesis.
Though how Piemon was able to switch our bodies around is beyond me."
Taichi leaned against a tree, seemingly to support himself. "At least I'll
know what it's like to take a piss standing up without getting all wet."
Koromon looked at Taichi with a confused expression. "Can you tell us who
each of you really are?"
Taichi smiled nervously. "Sora."
Sora gave a short laugh. "Taichi."
"Yamato." Iori sighed. "This puts a crimp on the concert next weekend."
"Mimi," Ken said holding Mimi's hands.
Mimi tried to pull free. "Um, Daisuke."
"Why him?" Ken questioned.
"Jyou," Hikari almost sobbed.
"Hikari," Jyou replied. "I really feel weird."
"You're not the only one." Miyako fidgeted. "Koushiro."
"Tell me about it," Koushiro moaned. "I'm Miyako."
"Takeru," Daisuke laughed. "I guess I should count myself lucky."
Takeru nodded. "At least we didn't change genders. I'm Iori."
Yamato reluctantly added, "And I'm Ken."
"We're going to need helping figuring this one out," Pyocomon noted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
And that was the understatement or the year for 2004. We all needed help,
some more than others as our lives were once again changed forever by the
Digital World.

Author's Notes:
Thanks to Jeremy Mullin and all my pre-readers.
Names usage will continue to be in the context of the body they are in save
for dialogue. This is to standardize the approach of description and avoid
adding any more confusion than there already is.
Sat down and read Fruitloop Trooper's 'A Digital Switch,' and couldn't help
but want to delve into areas that were glossed over, not just in his
rendition of characters switching bodies, but in the majority of ficts,
movies and shows where this happens. Without even going full lemon, there
will be reasons why this fict is rated NC-17. There will be scenes of
masturbation as the kids get use to their 'new' bodies. There will be
lemons scenes, of course.
Who became who was literally in the cards. I shuffled twelve cards with
each assigned to a character and dealt them until I got the right mix
(basically all the girls had to become guys, and one certain guy had to be
a girl). Taichi almost became Mimi. ^^
Name (Age) - Who they became
Taichi (16) - Sora
Yamato (16) - Iori
Sora (16) - Taichi
Mimi (15) - Ken
Jyou (17) - Hikari
Koushiro (15) - Miyako
Hikari (13) - Jyou
Takeru (13) - Daisuke
Daisuke (13) - Mimi
Miyako (14) - Koushiro
Iori (11) - Takeru
Ken (13) - Yamato
