Chapter 208

After Harry asked for the Potter Family to gather, the DigiDestined then sat around the living room to wait for everyone to come together and come meet them, though they were feeling rather awkward at the moment, for they were now being stared down by Harry's girlfriends, the ones they found in the living room as they arrived.

The guys were quite impressed and a bit jealous of how beautiful and unique, Yasaka, Serafall, Ophis, Ereshikal, and Rei are, even Joe, who is dating Chizuru, was feeling a bit embarrassed and self-conscious, while being stared down by these five beautiful women.

Even, Ophis, who is a petite woman, had a certain beauty and cuteness mix, that had everyone utterly in awe, the girls, however, felt a bit intimidated and even more self-conscious.

Especially when they began to compare themselves to Harry's girlfriends, Gabriel was one thing, she's an angel and as such, she was expected to be beautiful, but the girls now met more of Harry's girlfriends and they were all gorgeous, and with big assets, assets that they lacked and that had them pouting a bit.

Harry just sat on his couch and was content to just let his friends suffer under, the curious gazes of five of his girlfriends, he found it quite amusing actually, eventually, it was Meiko who decided to finally speak, "Um... it's very nice to meet you?".

Well, she tried, but her shyness was in full effect and her self-confidence was at an all-time low, Serafall tilted her head at Meiko and stared at her, making the poor girl even more nervous, until, Serafall turned her head towards Harry and said, "Harry! She's adorable! I'm keeping her!".

Meiko blushed a bit and began to fidget with her hands, which got Serafall to gush over her even more, Harry chuckled and shook his head in amusement, "Gabriel asked the same thing, but seriously, you can't keep her Serafall, she has a home and a family".

Serafall pouted at Harry, she then teleported right on top of Meiko's lap and hugged her, "Aww come on! How about it, Mei-Tan? Want to stay here? I can even add you to my show! A shy and adorable magical girl would be very popular!".

Poor Meiko squeaked in surprise and then blushed at having Serafall on her lap and hugging her, she couldn't even speak and began to choke on her words, until one of Yasaka's tails, slammed like a hammer on top of Serafall's head, causing the maou to grunt in pain and them fall unconscious on poor Meiko.

Luckily for her, Yasaka quickly removed Serafall from her lap and then threw her unconscious body behind the couch, Yasaka then kindly smiled at Meiko and tried to calm her down a bit, "Don't pay any heed to that shameless devil, okay sweetie?".

Meiko nervously began to sweat, but nodded, though now she was worried for Serafall, "I-is she going to be okay?".

Yasaka waved her hand with a smile on her face and then said, "She's fiiine, it takes more than that to take down someone like Serafall".

Everyone turned their heads towards the floor where some blood was beginning to spread from underneath the couch, but Yasaka quickly wiped it with one of her tails and then cleaned said tail with magic, all with a calm and kind smile on her face.

Having seen Yasaka moved her tails plenty of times now, the DigiDestined were very curious about them, specifically Mimi, who looked like she really wanted to touch one since she was sitting the closest to Yasaka, but the tail kept moving away from her.

Kari however stared at the tail that cleaned the blood off the floor and then asked, "Um, can you really move all of them independently?".

Yasaka blinked at the sudden question and then followed Kari's gaze until her gaze landed on her tail, "Oh! You mean my tails? Yeah, I can move them all independently, they're a great help with paperwork or the kitchen too".

To prove her point, Yasaka moved all nine of her tails and began to do all sorts of things with them, like grabbing a comb and combing Kari's hair, two grabbed Serafall's unconscious body, from behind the couch and began to juggle her in mid-air.

One hugged Harry, who smiled and began to run his fingers through the tail's fur, another grabbed the TV control and changed the channel, one was writing her name on a piece of paper, and so on and on.

Which, got the DigiDestined to stare in awe, but suddenly, the door to the living room was opened and quite a few people ran into the room and tackled Harry, off the couch he was sitting on and dogpiled on him.

Harry grunted from the sudden weight on his body, while Yasaka, Ophis, Rei, and Ereshikal giggled and then jumped on the pile of bodies on top of Harry, while Yasaka placed Serafall's unconscious body below her, like a pillow.

This left the DigiDestined utterly surprised and speechless, while Harry groaned and spoke from the bottom of the pile, "Ugh... okay... whoever is groping me, please stop...".

Luna suddenly spoke from somewhere underneath the pile, "Not sorry!".

Harry chuckled in amusement, he then sighed and then said, "I wasn't even gone for long guys, come on...".

Everyone laughed and then began to get off Harry, who despite complaining, he had a very happy smile on his face right now.

Once everyone got off Harry, the DigiDestined were able to see all the people who just tackled and dogpiled a dragon god, most of them, like with Yasaka, Serafall, Ophis, Rei, and Ereshikal, were beautiful and unique women and girls.

There were also young children in the group, Sherry and Lily were there, but there were a few the DigiDestined didn't know at all, finally, Harry stood up and then huffed at his family, "Hey guys, I heard you've been busy".

Everyone smiled and nodded to Harry, a brunette with very warm and kind brown eyes then said, "We needed more materials and funding for the main project that the Research and Development Guild, has been working on.

So we decided to grind for money and materials to assist, actually, all the guilds are inside the Natural Dungeon right now, including most of our demi-god children as well".

Harry nodded, he knew that his projects and plans were going to need time, a lot of money, and resources, however, before Harry could say anything, Tai asked a question, "Project?".

Hearing a new voice they didn't recognize, everyone turned around and stared at Tai, who jumped from the sudden attention he just received, Fu tilted her head and then pointed at Tai, "Who are you? A new friend?".

Tai sweatdropped not knowing how to respond to such a question and about the fact that the green-haired girl, was pointing at him like she is, Harry smiled and then spoke, "Everyone, these are the DigiDestined, my friends from another world and practically family as well, I was kinda adopted by their parents".

Well, that did it, the moment Harry proclaimed that the DigiDestined are friends and family, the entire Potter household crowed around the DigiDestined and began to ask questions, well except, Yasaka, Ophis, Rei, and Ereshikal, who stared at the chaos with a smile on their faces.

Also, Serafall, who was still unconscious and bleeding a lot from her head, but thankfully, Gabriel was already healing her, though she was very confused as to why her friend and harem sister was in this condition, to begin with.

-----

~ Sometime later~

After everyone introduced themselves and got to know each other, they all sat around in the living room and began having conversations amongst each other, Kari was taking a picture of Kunou and Yasaka together, "Nice, this one looks very good".

Yasaka smiled, while Kunou ran towards Kari and took a look at the picture, "Oh! It does look nice! Can you send it to me on my smartphone! I'll use it as my wallpaper!".

Kari nodded with a smile on her face and quickly began to do as Kunou asked, meanwhile, Meiko was talking with Asia, Le Fay, and Susan about Harry's favorite kinds of foods, "Hmm... so Harry likes to eat all kinds of meats huh? Is it because he's a dragon?".

Le Fay giggled and nodded, "That and he's a bit of a glutton~ but he's also a great cook as well!".

Asia nodded and then said, "He likes to eat fruit as well, I've seen him gulp down, whole mangos and even pineapples".

Susan sighed and shook her head, "Honestly, I keep telling him to peel them or something, but he just chucks them into his mouth like Skittles or something".

Meiko laughed at the image of Harry just downing big fruits as candy, meanwhile, Sora was sitting on a couch, while speaking with Hermione and Jean, "Oh, so you have books on flower arrangements here?".

Hermione nodded and then explained, "Yup, we have books on this art from different factions as well, yokai are more Japanese traditional about it, but the Greek Dryads are also known to make some of the most gorgeous flower arrangements".

Jean hummed, "We could go see some of the dryads at the Big House, even Hestia and Rhea might know something about flower arrangements".

Sora nervously laughed at the idea of asking a real goddess about flower arrangements, but she was also very curious about what they had to say.

Yolei was talking to Valerie, Fu, and Milim, "You're a vampire! Like Dracula and all that?".

Valerie smiled and nodded, "Yup, Dracula is even my ancestor!".

Milim crossed her arms and then grinned, "I also know a vampire! She's a little odd and whatnot, plus she's also the secret leader of the church in my world, which is funny, but she's cool! She likes to cosplay as a maid a lot though".

Fu giggled, "Vampires are weird in Neo Kyoto too! They all talk so posh and proper, it's kinda hard to understand them, but they're generally very nice once you get to know them a bit".

Valerie sweatdropped at the jab sent to her race's way of speaking, while Yolei grinned in excitement, "Oh! That's so interesting! I always thought vampires were all gloomy and edgy, plus all wearing black and whatnot!".

Valerie looked down and looked defeated, "That's just stereotyping at its worse...".

On the other side, sitting around the coffee table, were Mimi, Jessica, and Ereshikal, "Wait, wait, there's a super enchanted set of Divine Bustier! Whoa...".

Jessica blushed and nodded, "Yeah, it's an extremely powerful set of magical armor, though, it is a bit embarrassing to wear it in battle, though Harry does like it when I wear it...".

Ereshikal giggled and then added in, "There's also that bunny girl outfit too! I bet Harry likes it as well".

Jessica blushed deep red and nodded, while Mimi was already thinking about buying herself a bunny girl outfit later and modeling it for Harry.

Joe was speaking with Tsunade and Gabriel, "So, there are more ways that the healing temple can heal and offer medical treatment?".

Tsunade nodded, "Of course, in Neo Kyoto and Kuoh, we have quite the diversity of supernatural beings, which makes it possible for us to incorporate other methods of healing from different branches of magic and whatnot, plus Harry and the munchkins have been bringing back all sorts of technology and magic that specialize in healing".

Gabriel nodded, "It certainly has helped in expanding our knowledge and improving the methods in which we can offer health improvement and medical practices to everyone allied to Neo Kyoto".

Joe nodded and looked down, "Like a think tank for medicine huh?".

TK, Davis, and Matt were speaking with Sirius, though all four of them were now sporting long beards, TK rubbed his blonde long beard and grinned, "Huh? So this is how I'm going to look with a beard, not bad".

Davis laughed and then grinned as well, "This is neat! Now all I have to do, is learn how to shave!".

Matt smiled and then looked at Sirius, "Pretty nifty spell, but what would we use it for?".

Sirius grinned and then said, "Well, having a beard and then shaving it a bit so it's nice and clean, you can then sneak into a night clubs, even buy a few beers, cause I'm sure they won't ask for your age if you look like this".

Matt nodded, "Magic is useful".

Remus was deadpanning to Sirius, while Ken and Cody were shaking their head at their fellow DigiDestined's shenanigans, Remus sighed and shook his head, "Great, the idiot is now encouraging underage drinking...".

Ken sighed as well and then said, "Don't worry, we'll keep an eye on them and make sure they don't cause any trouble".

Cody nodded, "I'll use my Kendo sword...".

Eri, Lily, Sherry, and Himawari, who came to visit and help grind, were sitting with Luna, Rei, and the Digimon who were sent out of everyone's smartphone to hang out, Luna smiled and rubbed both, Gatomon's belly which made them purr.

Rei was petting Agumon and Gabumon, while both Digimon looked very happy, Rei then looked over to all the Digimon and asked, "I wonder if there's an ice-oriented Digimon?".

Biyomon jumped on Rei's back and happily answered the question, "Of course there is! There's Frigimon! Who looks like a snowbear!".

Palmon nodded and then said, "There's also Icemon, they're very cheerful Digimon, but they can be quite mischievous too!".

Gomamon then hummed as he thought about another ice-themed Digimon, "There's also Hyogamon, but they're kind of mean and bullies".

Rei smiled and nodded, "I see, I kinda want to see a Frigimon then, they sound cute".

Luna then spoke up and asked Agumon about something she heard from Harry, a while ago, "I've heard from Harry that there's a black version of Agumon too, is that true?".

Agumon nodded, "Yeah, but they're really feral and wild, I think Harry has one, or at least he did".

Eri, who was playing, with Meicoomon and Blackgatomon nodded, "He does! He even evolved into BlackWargreymon!".

Luna smiled and then said, "Ah! So that's its mega form, very interesting, I'll have to ask Harry to Dedigivolved BlackWargreymon, so I can see what a BlackAgumon looks like".

Agumon grinned, "I personally think, regular Agumon looks cooler!".

Everyone shared a laugh at that comment, while Himawari grabbed Gomamon and gave him a hug, "You guys are so cute!".

Gomamon nodded and smiled, "We are, aren't we!".

Tai was sitting with Harry, Ophis, and Serafall, who had awakened from being unconscious and was now smiling and speaking, Tai smiled watching everyone having fun while speaking and getting to know each other, though he still had something on his mind, something that had him very curious about it.

So he turned his head towards Harry, who now had Serafall laying her head on his lap, while he rubbed her head and called out to him "Harry?".

Harry's looked over to Tai and responded, "What's up?".

Tai quickly asked about what had him so curious, "What sort of projects are you doing right now? It sounded very important and serious".

Harry blinked in surprise that Tai was still curious about the projects that were being mentioned, but seeing that there was no reason not to tell Tai about it, he smiled and then proceeded to explain, "Neo Kyoto and the Potters are preparing for war.

A few friends and their world are in danger of being attacked by highly advanced, powerful mechanical and digital creatures, known as the reapers, in order to help our friends, were preparing for when the reapers will attack".

Tai frowned as he absorbed what Harry just told him, he thought about it for a few seconds, before speaking up, "Are these, reapers... worse than the Dark Masters and Apocalymon?".

Harry closed his eyes and nodded, "Way worse, in fact, the reapers make those dark Digimon look like babies compared to them, not only are the reapers highly advanced and powerful digital entities, but they have been operating for a very long time.

At least a billion years, during that time, they have implemented all sorts of technological advances into their arsenal, but the worst part is that they have been the cause of a cycle of destruction on a galaxy scale.

We don't know how many times this cycle has been started, nor how many lives and civilizations have been erased from existence, but I sure as hell, will be putting a stop to it, for that reason.

Neo Kyoto is pulling all of its resources, creating and advancing our technological power, all so we can create our own space fleet and aid our friends from that world, it's taking a while though, there's a lot to do, research, materials, and money needed to fulfill all of our goals and plans.

But we are working as fast as we can, pulling all help from all allies, right now, we're in the process of preparing to build a moon base, once up there, we will begin construction of the Neo Kyoto Space Fleet".

Serafall hummed for a second and then spoke up from Harry's lap, "We're also doing research and development of weapons, gear, and even space ships, in order to better help our friends.

Luckily we have multiple people who moved from that world to this one, who are helping us and giving us all the knowledge and experience we need to make things work".

Ophis nodded from where she was sitting, "This is a massive coalition between all sorts of supernatural beings, magic, and technology, a combination of different ideals and ideas, all for the sake to protect our friends and save an entire galaxy from utter destruction".

Tai intertwined his fingers in front of himself and then rested his chin on them, he looked to be thinking about something, but Harry, Serafall, and Ophis were more than happy to let him do so, eventually, the DigiDestined of Courage spoke up, "How can we help?".

Harry grinned at the willingness to help that Tai just displayed, but unfortunately, the Dragon shook his head, "Right now, there's nothing the DigiDestined can help us with, Tai".

Tai frowned and looked ready to argue, but Harry raise a hand to stop the DigiDestined of Courage from speaking and then began to further explain, "Let me explain Tai, first of all, the reapers have a method of brainwashing.

We called it Indoctrination, it's subtle and undetectable as far as we know, we can't risk you guys who have not been trained, and have not had experience with beings such as this, second, the reapers are digital beings of unknown origin, one that have lived for at least a billion of years.

We don't know how advanced they are, nor the extent of their data processing power, which means, that Digimon should not be used against beings, such as these, who knows what they could do to a digital creature such as a Digimon?

That's not something I want to risk and I doubt you would do either, and third, you and the rest of the DigiDestined are digital hybrids, facing a reaper would be a very dangerous risk for you guys.

So until we know exactly what we're dealing with here and the extent of the power the Reapers have in a digital plane, we're not risking you guys nor the Digimon".

Tai looked down, he didn't like it, but he knew better than to argue when Harry decides something, especially when he knows that there's a good reason for such decisions that Harry makes.

Tai suddenly looked up and then asked a question, "Can't you find out? You know? Use that thing Izzy mentioned back when we were in the Digital World? What did he call it?... Oh! The Aka something record".

Harry chuckled and shook his head in amusement, "The Akashic Record Tai, but to begin with, that's not an ability I like to abuse, the Administrator who was in charge of it before me, did that, in a fit of madness and arrogance, sought to destroy a world and reset it.

But besides that, I can't use the Akashic Record to look too deep into that world, or rather, I was unable to do so when I tried".

Tai raised an eyebrow in surprise, "You couldn't? That's... that's a surprise, I don't think I've ever seen you not being able to do something".

Harry grinned and shrugged, "It happens on occasion, it's been a while since the last time though".

Tai nodded and then decided to as another question "So, what happened? Why weren't you able to use the Akashic Record thingy to look into the history of that world".

Ophis turned her gaze towards Harry, curious to hear the reason herself, all of this was news to her after all and she was very curious now, Serafall, feeling just as curious, sat up and sat right beside Harry to hear what he had to say.

Harry, on his part, scratched his head and then said, "Well, this is hard to explain, especially to those who aren't connected to the Akashic Record... okay, think of the Akashic Record as a node, a throne where one can sit and view the past, present, and future of every world in the universe.

But this is when things get, rather odd, the node is connected to every world, like a root, but from those connections, countless other connections spread out from the main one right into the node, the root per se.

Trying to look at the history of a world is like deep diving into those connections headfirst and holding your breath as long as possible while looking for the correct connections to actually watch to find the information, you're looking for.

Now, as the Administrator of the Akashic Record, I can do this way more easily than anyone else can, but it can be overwhelming nonetheless and quite draining on the mind, it's only because I'm a being so powerful that I can do this without any after effects.

But that's not the issue with the world where the reapers exist, rather something or someone was able to connect to the main connection of this universe to the Akashic Record and made some kind of make-shift connections.

This caused the main connection to be frayed, so all I can see from the Akashic Record is static or very glitched-up images, whoever did this, did a half-ass horrible job and damaged the connection.

Something, I quite frankly don't know how to fix, I haven't seen anything like that before, no doubt there might be other worlds with damaged connections like this one, but as of now, I have no idea what to do about it, I'm working on it though.

But, preparing to deal with the reapers is taking priority right now".

Tai, looked a bit overwhelmed with the information he just received but he seemed to understand the gist of it, Serafall was scratching her head, this was a pretty big dilemma and she didn't even know where to start to fix it, honestly, she doesn't know how Harry deals with stuff like this all the time.

Ophis however, frowned, as a dragon god and someone ancient, she knew that what Harry described was not a good thing, she knew he was dumbing down the explanation for Tai's sake, but the implications of something or someone being able to do this, to the direct connection to the Akashic Record, was very bad news.

Who knows the sort of things and knowledge was pulled from the root, knowledge of this kind and magnitude is not something any being can look upon and not grow insane.

Harry sighed and shook his head, "But don't worry Tai, we can handle this, for now, I want you guys to focus on preparing for the Digimon Tamers Guild, you and the rest of the DigiDestined will be very busy with that for a while".

Serafall suddenly smiled and then said, "Oh that's right! Yasaka did mention that a new guild will be operating soon, I guess it has to do with Digimon huh?".

Tai nodded, "Yes, Harry and Izzy thought that it would be the best way to help us, the DigiDestined, and the future generations to come, plus there are a lot more DigiDestined around the world that need help".

Ophis titled her head, "Need help? With what? Didn't Harry already fix the problems with your world? That's what he usually does".

Harry chuckled and nodded, "Yeah, I fixed a lot of problems and dealt with some annoyances, but the fact of the matter is, that the DigiDestined are still going to be needed, and given, that more and more children are getting their own Digimon partner.

They will need help, instructions, and most of all, resources, to both grow and help their Digimon become strong, trust me, I know how difficult it is to take care of a Digimon and I have hundreds of them, troublesome little gits".

Harry's smartphone violently shook in his pocket, letting him know that all of his Digimon heard him and were telling him off, which made him chuckle, Dorumon heard her friend and Tamer and couldn't, but smile knowing how true Harry's words are.

Ophis nodded, "I suspect, that you guys need a safe place to gather, collect information, and obtain resources, especially if there's going to be more of you in the future, right?".

Serafall grinned and then said, "Oooh! A command center! That's what the Digimon Tamers Guild is for!".

Harry nodded with a smile on his face, "Yeah, plus, we also want to help Tai and the others learn how to harness their digital energy, find out different ways in which they can use it, and even allow them new ways to support their Digimon".

Tai nodded and smiled, in all honesty, he was very excited about this whole thing, in fact, he hadn't felt like this since he first appeared in the Digital World and met Agumon, it was a feeling he thought he lost a long time ago, but it was back and in full force.

Tai, the DigiDestined of Courage was excited about the new adventures, he and his friends will getting into, in Neo Kyoto, a city where everything was possible as long as you have the will to accomplish something.

-----

The DigiDestined spent quite a bit of time getting to know the Potter family along with some family friends that arrived later, people like Himiko, who is an amazing chef and had cooked them all a very delicious meal.

Hela, a maid who also happens to be an alien goddess of a planet called Asgard, in the world where Jean, Tony, Pepper, and Morgan had come from, that was quite a surprise, especially when the DigiDestined found out, how Hela used to be in the past.

But, to their surprise and relief, Hela the maid, is a gentle and very friendly woman, not at all like the way she was described to be, in the past, when she was nothing but a bloodlust-filled and merciless woman.

Pepper, who was a very kind and gentle woman, treated the Digidestined like family and spent a lot of time reigning the men of the Potter household, so they would behave.

Urahara, a very eccentric and sus man, well, according to TK who immediately called him sus as soon, as Urahara spoke, which made Harry laugh quite a bit at his expense, Himawari finally introduced herself to the DigiDestined, after a while.

Being one of Harry's nieces and a ninja, surprised the DigiDestined as well, especially when Himawari began to explain some things about her world, along with some of the things ninja can do, to the further surprise of everyone Himawari was also revealed as a very talented mage, just like Eri.

But unlike the little Potter, who likes big explosions and bangs when it comes to her spell selection, Himawari was more subtle and practical with her magic, focusing on things like runecraft and fuuinjutsu, something she had a knack for.

There were more people for the DigiDestined to meet and get to know in this world, so this little visit had only just begun, for they still have to go, to Neo Kyoto and have a tour of the place, and of course, meet with more family and friends.
