Holder of Kindness
The first and second set of digidestined have
gathered together in the digital world for food and a
day in the sun. The digimon are off to the side
pigging-out and conversing amongst themselves.
Sora: It’s so great we’ve all managed to get together
like this!
Miyako: Yeah! This is sooo much fun!
Taichi: So what are we gonna do first? *downs his
punch*
Yamato: Hey Taichi! Where’s your groupie? *swings an
arm over Taichi’s shoulders*
Taichi: *shrugs* I dunno.
Iori: I saw him dragging Ken into a game of chase.
Takeru: He didn’t try to drag you into it, Hikari.
That’s an improvement.
Hikari: *giggles* Yeah.
Jennai: How about a story?
Everyone: Jennai!
Koushirou: Welcome Jennai.
Mimi: Oh boy! A story!
Jyou: It doesn’t have evil digimon in it does it? I’m
allergic to them.
First Set: Jyou!
Jyou: Just kidding!
Jennai: *laughing* Don’t worry Jyou, this story is
quite tame and rather interesting. In fact, it’s
about Daisuke.
Second Set: Daisuke?
Miyako: What so interesting about him?
Jennai: Daisuke used to be the holder of the crest and
golden digiegg of Kindness.
Everyone: Huh?
Sora: What happened?
Jennai: He passed it on to someone he believed more
worthy. Here, I’ll show the video footage from that
day. *borrows Koushirou’s laptop* You get to see the
world through the eyes of Motomiya Daisuke when he was
just a young lad.
Yamato: Video footage? How did you manage that?
Jennai: You’ll see.
Everything starts off as darkness. A loud ringing
sounds off. A groaning, the alarm abruptly killed.
“Daisuke! Wake up! We’re going to the park in
Heighten View Terrace, remember?”
“I’m up!” His eyes open, it takes a second for his
vision to focus. “Log open.” Green computer writing
appears in his left eye.
OPEN
Everyone: O~h!
“Clean-up and arrange files.”
CLEAN-UP PROCEEDING…
ARRANGING…
Jyou: Wait. This is how he saw things? Like the
terminator?
Jennai: It was the best way. When he was chosen we
literally just downloaded everything into him.
Daisuke stretches and makes to get out of bed, but
his sheets are tangled around his ankles. “Whoa!”
The world spins and turns upside down. THUMP! “That
hurt…”
Things went normally. His mom chatted with his
father as dad reads the newspaper and his sister is
being annoying as always. He glares at his sister,
her information automatically showing up.
MOTOMIYA, JUN – ENERGY
Everyone: She’s has a crest?!
Jennai: Of course, everyone has a crest. It’s only a
matter of them getting to the digital world.
Various names and crests are displayed during the
trip to the park. “Don’t leave the park, okay
Daisuke?”
“Right mom!” With soccer ball bouncing in the air
Daisuke makes his way across the green.
KENSHOU, YUU – PASSION
HEISEINO, JONATHAN TORU – UNKNOWN
He quietly walks up to the two boys, hiding by
sitting on a tree branch. “I’m going to kick that
bastard’s sorry ass,” growls Yuu.
“Calm down, beating him up won’t solve anything.”
“Wanna bet?”
“Listen, I know who his parents are. I’ll tell them
what’s going on, okay?”
“Can’t you do that AFTER I beat him?”
“Come on Yuu, let’s go.”
“But Toru!”
“No buts.” The boys leave.
Daisuke climbs down. “Such a vibe from him. Not
tranquility but…Scan entries.”
SCANNING…a blur of green, too fast to be read. “Stop,
go back. Heiseino, Jonathan Toru…Serenity.”

INOUE, MIYAKO – UNKNOWN
HIDA, IORI – UNKNOWN
Miyako: Hey, that’s us!
At the moment, Miyako is trying to get the name of
every boy in the park. He sweatdrops before closing
his eyes to better concentrate, trying to feel only
her vibes. “Love, definitely Love.” He watches a
moment longer as she tries to help one of the guys who
just hurt himself. “Hmmm, Sincerity too.”
FILES FOUND…

INOUE, MIYAKO – LOVE AND SINCERITY
“Hey Iori, wanna get some ice cream?”
“Sorry, I don’t want to spoil my appetite. It’s
macaroni night.”
“Okay, I’ll be back in a minute.”
“Look both ways before crossing the street!”
“Hmmm…” Daisuke holds up two words to Iori. “Wisdom
or Knowledge?” He places Wisdom next to Iori’s image
but it doesn’t feel right. Knowledge on the other
hands clicks right in. “Knowledge it is.” Iori’s
friend gets back safely.
“Let’s go on the slides!”
“Sorry, I have to go now. I promised I’d help my mom
with something.”
“Aw c’mon! It can wait can’t it?”
“Sorry.” He gathers his stuff and leaves.
“Reliable, ain’t he? Reliability too.”

HIDA, IORI – KNOWLEDGE AND RELIABILITY
SCANNING AREA…NONE FOUND
Daisuke kicks his ball to the other side of the park.
YAGAMI, TAICHI – COURAGE
ISHIDA, YAMATO – FRIENDSHIP
TAKAISHI, TAKERU – HOPE
For some reason the first two names make him pause,
but he can’t figure out for the life of him why.
“Courage and Friendship…what is it about those two?”
Sora: That’s ironic.
Koushirou: Wow, he is good at this. I bet if he had
scanned himself he would have discovered those to be
his crests.
SCANNING AREA…
ICHIJOUJI, KEN – UNKNOWN
Shaking his head to get his thoughts back on track,
Daisuke makes his way over to a boy around his age.
He’s alone. “Is he crying? Hey, are you okay?” Ken
looks up and rubs his eyes. “What’s wrong?”
“My brother was being mean to me.”
“I can relate. Uh…hey, you like soccer?” Ken perks
up.
“Yeah! It’s my favorite activity in the world!”
“Let’s play then! I’m Daisuke.”
“Ken.”
The two boys play around kicking the ball and
initiating random bouts of tag.
Hikari: *giggles* They’re so cute!
Mimi: Is he doing what I think he’s doing?
Sora: Why is Daisuke telling Ken about the Digital
World?
Jennai: You’ll see, you’ll see.
The pair goes back to playing for a while longer
before stopping to rest again. Daisuke looks
contemplative before speaking again. “Hey, lets play
a prank on your brother to get back at him!” Ken
shakes his head.
“No, it’s okay.”
“Eh?”
“I know he’s mean to me and sometimes he gets me
really mad at him, but he’s still my brother. I don’t
want anything to actually happen to him, no matter how
angry or hurt he makes me.” Daisuke smiles.
“You’re the one.”
“Huh?”
“C’mon Ken, I wanna give you something.” Daisuke
stands up. Ken stands with him.
“A present for me? Why?” Daisuke pulls him around
the corner of the building.
“Because you’re much kinder than I am.” Daisuke holds
out his hands, the golden digiegg appears. “This is
called the digiegg of Kindness. I’ve been its holder
since forever.” Ken stares at it in amazement.
“Wow! It’s pretty! I think it suits you, you’re very
kind.”
“I’m kind, but not as much as you. I want to pass my
power on to you, you deserve it more.”
“What? No, I couldn’t possibly!” Daisuke smiles.
“You more than deserve it, it should have been yours
instead of mine, but I believe things happen for a
reason. I think the egg wanted us to meet. Please
Ken, accept it. It was truly meant for you.”
“Are-are you sure?” Daisuke nods, his sweet smile
still on his lips. “There aren’t any problems with
transference are there?”
“Once I give the egg to you…we won’t remember any of
this. The egg, us meeting…”
“But I want to remember you.”
“We might not remember up here,” he taps his head,
“but we’ll both remember here.” He places his hand
over his then Ken’s heart. “I’m sure we’ll meet
again, then we can be friends like now.”
“You sure?”
“More than sure, I’m positive.” A little smile graces
Ken’s lips.
“Okay.” Daisuke places the egg in Ken’s cupped hands;
his own little hands over Ken’s.
“I relinquish my hold on the title of Kindness and all
it bestows on me, go to your true holder.” A bright
golden light.
//“Where are we?” Ken looks around; the world is a
quilt of soothing pastels.
“We’re in-between, it’s like a data link. Think of it
as internet between just us.”
“Fascinating!” Ken floats up with what looks like a
tv screen. “These, these are your memories.”
“Un, and those are yours. They’re being rewritten
now.”
“It’s a scary thought, thinking about it.” Daisuke
holds onto his hand.
“Don’t be scared, I’ll hold onto your hand, okay?”
Ken nods, grateful.
“Having your memories, who you are, rewritten like
this. I don’t understand why you wanted to do this.”
“Because you’re my friend.” Their hands tighten.
There’s some kind of beating sound, like two drums…now
there’s only one. “What just happened?”
“Our hearts are beating as one.”//
The boys blink, trying to regain their sight.
“Daisuke!”
“Coming, Mama!” A bright smile is plastered on his
little face even as his memories continue to rewrite
themselves. “Until we meet again, Ken-chan.”
“`til we meet again.” Daisuke starts to run off but
suddenly does an about-face and kisses Ken on the
cheek.
All the girls: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
Ken blushes and gives a shy smile in return. The
brunette waves a hyper goodbye before hurrying off.
“I’ll be waiting, Dai-chan!”

Jennai: And that’s how it was.
Miyako: Why was it given to Daisuke of all people in
the first place?
Jennai: Don’t take that tone of voice in this matter,
Miyako. Daisuke is a very kind boy. But that’s not
why he was chosen.
Iori: Then how come?
Jennai: When crests were being assigned, the
Digi-terminal had been attacked by a virus. We
managed to fix it but we had lost some of the names
and their crests. We were able to restore most of the
names; one of the still missing ones had been the
holder of Kindness. Not only is Daisuke a kind boy
but he also has an instinctively strong judge of
character. We were sure he’d find the rightful
holder, and we were right.
Takeru: And here I thought he was crazy when he said
the digiegg talked to him.
Miyako: You and me both.
Kari: Me too.
Iori: All of us. I can’t believe it’s because of
Daisuke why I have Knowledge and Reliability.
Miyako: And why I have Love and Sincerity.
Jennai: That’s how strong his instincts are. Thanks
to Daisuke and a few others around the world like him,
we were able to completely restore our data banks.
Koushirou: Prodigious! Absolutely amazing!
Mimi: Will he ever remember?
Yamato: I don’t think he needs to.
Mimi: Huh?
Taichi: Matt’s right, look at what good friends they
are now. They don’t need to remember when they first
met, that’s in the past.
Sora: They remember, in their hearts they remember.
Everyone nods in agreement.
Ken and Daisuke are running around the border of the
woods, having fun while the others crowd around Jennai
and Koushirou’s computer. Ken stops under a tree, as
if remembering something. “What’s the matter, Ken?”
“Nothing…do you ever get the feeling we met, before
all this?”
“Sometimes. We were probably buds in a past life!”
Ken nods, accepting the answer.
“There’s a lake over there. C’mon Dai-chan!”
“Dai-chan?” The name sparks something deep in his
mind. *“`til we meet again.”
“I’ll be waiting, Dai-chan!”*
“Daisuke!” He snaps out of it.
“Coming, Ken-chan!”
