For clarification, this takes place after episode eleven of 02 and after episode five of Data Squad. I want to give a big thanks to Zero Slash One who will be my beta for the story and helped with ideas for the story, including the background since it involved something to do with V-Tamer which I know little about (I don't know much about the Digimon franchise besides the dub anime and having a copy of All Star Rumble on the 360, so things like the 02 Japanese version and I have heard about the Japanese audio dramas but apart from what I read of them i know next to nothing about). Thanks to him for edits and his idea which helped with this first chapter. Before I forget, right now there is a poll to decide which character you want to narrate the beginning recaps of each chapter.
Our story begins in Odaiba, Japan home of the group of children known as the Digidestined.
It was in the afternoon and outside of Odaiba Elementary School waiting for the Digidestined to come out were Tai Kamiya and Matt Ishida who had been members of the previous team of Digidestined.
"After saving Agumon yesterday, I can't wait to hear what they have to say." Matt said to Tai standing right next to them on the right side of the gate "especially since Davis now has the Eggs with both our crests on it, he probably went in today planning to take down a whole bunch of Control Spires with Raidramon." Matt and Tai then decided to walk into the school so they could meet and talk with the new Digidestined.
The brunet and the blond sauntered casually into the computer room, only to be met with a sombre and angry atmosphere permeating everything in down to the most minute of particles and most abstract of ideas. Likewise, the younger Digidestined weren't looking best pleased, both observed immediately.
"This is so far from perfecto as you can get, Parallelmon had better hope we never see him again because next time I see him I will have Halsemon show no mercy on him... " Yolei was telling them sounding really angry and the Digidestined with their Digimon partners in their arms paused as they spotted Matt and Tai and then suddenly they looked very nervous.
Matt and Tai then realised who was missing from the gathering.
"Guys, where's Davis?" Tai asked honestly not sure if he wanted the answer.
The four then looked at eachother and the two older ones could tell their successors did not want to spill the news. The four then whispered to eachother and had a quick rock-paper-scissors tournament to decide who had to them (with the loser having to go on). Kari beat Cody with rock, TK beat Yolei with scissors and Cody then beat Yolei with rock.
Yolei then cleared her breath and stepped forward.
"We were out looking for Control Spires and seeing if we could free more Digimon from Ken's mind control when we were attacked by a big white and purple Digimon who had not have a Dark Ring or Spiral, he said his name was Parallelmon." the bespectacled preteen explained.
Matt and Tai shared a look. 'Parallelmon' was a new name to both of them, and an unfamiliar Digimon could easily mean trouble.
Yolei went on. "Davis went for it, but before he could digivolve Veemon, Parallelmon blasted him with something and they just disappeared into thin air, but he wouldn't tell him where he'd sent them to. We couldn't even slow him down and we had to go back."
"Before we left we tried getting a signal to where Davis and Veemon could be but it seemed they just disappeared. We tried again when we got out but ten minutes later we did not even get a clue to where they could be!"
Tai and Matt were stunned by this but Matt then started looking angry, "You just left Davis and Veemon in the Digital World, what kind of friends are you? You should have searched the entire Digital World..." Matt then started screaming scaring the younger Digidestined.
"Matt calm down, getting angry is not going to find Davis." Tai said with a bit of a glare to the angry Matt and he managed to get the blond to calm down a bit. "Are you sure you couldn't find any clue where Parallelmon could be?" The five Digidestined shook their heads at once.
"We honestly tried to find them and none of us know anything about Parallelmon or where he could have sent Davis and Veemon." Gatomon said in Kari's arms looking just as sad and crestfallen as her human partner. "Well this gives us three problems: one, how to find where Davis was sent so we can rescue him. Two, how we can stop this Parallelmon from whatever he wants to do and third which is possibly most important..." Matt said taking a moment to take a deep breath "how exactly are we supposed to explain this to Davis' family?"
The younger Digidestined paused at this, how could they tell Davis' family that their son is trapped in a secret place in a Digital World full of dangerous monsters. "Doesn't Davis have a sister who's a fan of you Matt?" TK said and Matt remembered meeting Jun Motomiya who was a big fan of him and his band the Teenage Wolves. "I will try and break it to her..." Matt said practicing in his head how to break it to Jun which started with having to explain the Digital World and to be able to prove it so she could believe him.
*D:AOD*
Meanwhile, in the Digital World, the Digimon Emperor was pondering these events himself. "Parallelmon, huh...?" he murmured aloud and slightly drawn out, if tasting the unfamiliar name.
He was not sure what exact ability this Digimon possessed, nor where exactly it had sent Davis, but one thing was certain: He needed to get this thing under his control, and the sooner the better, especially since he had easily managed to beat the leader of the group of Digidestined who had been meddling with his plans ever since they first arrived in HIS Digital World.
After a moment's though, the Emperor mused that it was sort-of obvious: It was all there in the name, really. Yes, he thought, Parallelmon had to possess the power to travel to parallel worlds.
"Once I get Parallelmon under my control, the Digidestined won't stand a ghost of a chance," he proclaimed with subdued mirth. "I'll banish them and anyone who dares stand against me to an alternate reality!"
In barely a heartbeat, the room was filled with his best attempt at villainous cackling. Wormmon was not certain that whatever the Emperor was planning could work but dare not speak in fear of his master's wrath.
*D:AOD*
As all this was happening, Parallelmon's victims screamed as they were let out the other side of the portal that Parallelmon had sent them through, "Okay, you are going to get it..." Davis shouted only to see he and Veemon were in the front yard of some sort of city. "What's going on, this doesn't look like the Digital World, are we back in Odaiba somehow?" Davis questioned but then paused while he looked at himself. "This can't be..." Davis said looking at himself at Veemon since while he was back in his regular clothes, somehow Veemon had not changed into Demiveemon.
"That's weird; I'm back in my regular clothes but you're not Demiveemon," Davis pointed out to his partner, who just shrugged.
"Hey boss, come and look at this!" they heard a familiar voice and turned and looked in shock. "Agumon?" Davis and Veemon said at once noticing an Agumon standing outside the now open door. It was like the one partnered with Tai but this one seemed larger and had red bracers on its hands or claws, whatever you wanted to call them.
Then out came a teenage boy in a red and blue uniform of sorts and he looked taken aback by the sight of Davis and Veemon. "Stay back kid, you don't know what that creature is or what he could do." The boy said as he and Agumon seemed to be going into fighting stances. "Hey Veemon is my Digimon partner." Davis said shocking the boy and Agumon as they shared a look "hey are you a Digidestined? My friend Tai has an Agumon as well, where have you been because we could have used your help against Ken that so called Digimon Emperor..."
"Digimon Emperor..." Agumon asked stumped and Davis noticed the boy picking up something and Davis gasped when it was realised it was his D3 which he had must have dropped after Parallelmon sent them here. "A Digivice?" the boy questioned taking out his own different looking Digivice and comparing them.
"Hey give that back!" Davis then screamed as Marcus tossed him the D3 back and went to thinking, "They will expect me to turn this kid's Digimon into an egg but this kid seems to have his own Digivice, I wonder if there is something more to this kid with especially how he just appeared outside my house." The boy said with his hand to his chin in thought. The boy then turned to the younger kid.
"Hey kid, what's your name?" the boy asked Davis and Davis straightened up thinking it would be a good first impression for what could be another Digidestined. "My name's Davis and I am the leader of the Digidestined and somehow me and my partner Veemon was sent here." Davis said giving some sort of salute.
"Well I'm Marcus Damon with my partner Agumon of the Digimon Data Squad." The boy said as Davis and Veemon looked puzzled at the mention of this Digimon Data Squad. "If you would we would like to take you back to our headquarters for a while." Marcus said and Davis thought for a second. He did not know anything about this Data Squad but maybe then could help against Ken and maybe against this Parallelmon. "Alright!" Davis yelled excitedly as Marcus motioned Davis and Veemon to start following him.
Marcus then answered some sort of communication device on his ear which said "Marcus, there appears to be some sort of Digimon energy signature coming from your house different from how a Digimon usually gets to our world, a Digimon we've no data on has appeared..." said a voice on the other end of the line.
Marcus smirked. "Don't sweat it, I've got them right here, and get this, the kid has a Digivice of his own. I'm bringing the Veemon and his partner over to HQ," the brunet told the redhead on the other end.
"Veemon, kid partner, own Digivice? What happened there?" The girl Yoshi on the other end asked but Marcus decided just to wait till he got there to see if they can explain what little they knew of what happened. Davis and Veemon were not paying attention to the conversation Marcus was happening as they were being led to the headquarters of the Digimon Data Squad.
