Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever, own digimon. It'd be cool if I did, but what are ya' gonna' do? I DO however own the original characters. Don't steal them!

[A/N: It's been a while since I've seen a truly outstanding epic here, so I wrote one. Actually I started writing it over a year ago and I've just started posting it. Don't think that this puny thing is the whole story. In fact, there are a total of ten different fics that are all connected, although some of them are yet to be written. I still need to do some more work on this first fic, so don't expect the rest of it to be posted right away. I think you'll find that if you keep reading these fics I've come up with, you won't be dissappointed. Now then, ON WITH THE SHOW!]

Digimon: Legends

The White DigiEgg

Hi again! This is Kari. A lot has happened in the five months since the defeat of Malo Myotismon. Gatomon, Patamon, Veemon, Hawkmon, Wormmon, and Armadillomon have all remained in the real world with us, but the other digimon all returned to the digital world, though we still get to see them a lot. Right now, T.K. and I are in New York. We're visiting Mimi and Michael.

Day 1

T.K., Kari, and Mimi walked down Broadway, trying to catch a cab.

"Hey Mimi," said T.K. "I almost forgot. My brother gave me some of his band's CDs to give to you."

"Thanks T.K.," replied Mimi, taking a couple CDs from T.K.'s outstretched hand. "Say, where's Patamon tonight?"

"Oh, he's with Gatomon," replied T.K. "They're trying to raid some of the park vending machines for candy."

Kari called to the other two, saying, "Hey guys, hurry up! I got a cab and you can't get these guys to wait very long."

All three of them got into the cab and sat in the back seat. T.K. was very careful about where he put his hands, making sure not to touch any gum or possibly worse. Kari rolled down the window at the first opportunity, desperately seeking fresh air.

After a rather unnerving cab ride, the three DigiDestined found themselves out in front of Mimi's apartment building. It was a tall building that was bathed in a yellowish glow from the streetlights. Meanwhile, in a darkened alley by the side of the building, a mysterious youth and his friend listened in on their conversation.

"That's them buddy," said the stranger. "How do you think we should approach them? I mean, should I just go up and talk to them?"

"I still think we should have talked to Willis first," said the other one in a rough, slightly grainy voice. "That kid would have probably understood our situation better."

"Hey, I'm not getting into this argument again," responded the first. "Anyway, if we can't manage to talk to these three, we can always track him down."

Just then, the mysterious pair heard Mimi yelling.

"Hey!" shouted Mimi. "Come back here you thief! Just wait till I get my hands on you!"

A suspicious character, probably in his late teens, wearing a red baseball cap, blue jeans, and a white T-shirt had crept up behind her and had stolen her purse. He immediately took off running. Thinking quickly the mysterious boy leaped from the alley and sucker-punched the would-be thief in the gut, knocking the wind out of him and causing him to collapse to the ground. The boy then picked up Mimi's purse and casually walked over and handed it back to her.

"I believe this belongs to you," said the boy, a quirky smile drawn across his face.

The mysterious boy was slightly taller than Tai and about the same age. He wore a long, black leather jacket and matching finger-less gloves. He also wore a buttoned, white shirt and tan cargo pants. Around his neck hung a pair of dog tags on a long metal chain. His hair and eyes were dark brown. His bushy, spiked hair was longer on the right side and partially covered his face.

"Oh thank you so much!" said Mimi, jogging over to the boy and taking her purse back from him. "I'm Mimi, who are you?"

Before the young man could reply, he noticed the purse-snatcher had gotten up and was running around the corner.

"No time," said the young man, running off after the thief. "Go find a cop somewhere, would ya'?"

The young man then headed through a shortcut in the alley. He was waiting to tackle the thief as he turned the corner and managed to pin his hands behind his back. Despite the young man's fairly thin frame, he was clearly very strong. This became quite apparent over the course of the next few minutes as he subdued the thief until T.K. showed up with a cop in tow. The police officer congratulated the young man on his nice work, but he did warn him that it was dangerous and not to do it again. The cop then headed off with the crook, who wasn't putting up much of a fight anymore. Mimi finally had the chance to learn who her knight in shining armor was.

"So like I was saying," started Mimi. "I'm Mimi Tachikawa, and you are?"

"The name's Jack Cole," said the young man. "There's no need to introduce yourselves, I know about you all. I must say that I'm quite impressed with you T.K., and you too Kari."

"How did you know our names?" asked T.K. "And what else do you know about us?"

"Look T.K.," said Jack. "I don't think this is the best place to talk. Why don't you guys round up Patamon and Gatomon and meet me at this address in one hour."

Jack handed T.K. a slip of paper with an address written on it. Jack then slowly walked down the sidewalk, blending into the sea of people. T.K. simply looked down at the slip of paper, wondering what was going on.

About an hour later, the three DigiDestined and their digimon found themselves outside an average-size apartment building. Jack immediately buzzed them up and they proceeded into the building. They crossed the lobby to a row of elevators. They took the closest elevator up to the third story and entered into a hallway with tan walls and red carpeting. They looked from door to door until they found 3H. Mimi gave a quick tap against the door with her knuckles. A few seconds later, the door opened up and there stood Jack, the same confident smile on his face.

"Come in, come in," said Jack.

"Thanks," said Mimi, stepping inside.

The living room was fairly large in size. There were several doors on the right and an open doorway to the left that led into a kitchen area where the sounds of activity could be heard. In the center of the room was a set of furniture including a couch, a loveseat, and a chair. They were all a matching shade of white and were arranged around an oak coffee table. The couch faced a 20" TV set and had several pillows piled on it. The carpeting in the room was also white. A small table sat right next to the door and it had a large stack of mail on it. Several plants and paintings were scattered about the room in a tasteful manner and a large, yellowish, overhead light provided plenty of illumination.

""Jack?" called a warm, feminine voice from the kitchen. "Do your friends want anything to snack on?"

"No thanks," said Jack. "They're not going to be here too long."

"Are you sure?" asked the voice. "It's no problem."

"Don't worry about it," said Jack.

"Okay, I think it's about time you start explaining," said Patamon. "What's going on?"

"Not here," whispered Jack. "Come with me."

He signaled for them to follow as he proceeded through the first door on the right. The others followed him and closed the door behind them as they came into his room. It was a fairly normal room. The walls were painted white and the carpet was blue. In one corner of the room was a bed left unmade and in the other corner directly underneath a window sat a desk. The desk was about four feet across and had a computer on one side. Next to that were piles of books, CDs, pop cans, and assorted crap. The walls were decorated with several posters and the floor was littered with various kinds of refuse.

"Okay," said Kari, trying not to step on anything. "Start explaining how you know about us and our digimon."

"Well, it's kind of a long story," replied Jack. "First, I'd like you all to meet a friend of mine."

Jack went over to his window and opened it. Seconds later, a strange digimon flew in, landing on his feet with a certain amount of dignified grace. The digimon was about the size of Agumon and of similar structure, looking like a small dragon. He had blue skin and a patch of short, white hair on the top of his head, situated between his two horns. His tail was much longer and thinner than Agumon's and he wore a golden ring around it. His wings looked to be thick and strong as he folded them behind his back. He had powder-blue eyes that seemed to hint at a fierce intelligence.

"This is Stormdramon," said Jack. "Surprised? He's been with me for about eight years now. He hatched from a DigiEgg that sprang from my computer screen. According to him, he's a pretty strong digimon."

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you all face-to-face," said Stormdramon.

"He's not kidding about being strong," said Gatomon. "From what I've heard, Stormdramon's Raging Storm attack is almost as strong as a Champion level digimon's attack, even though Stormdramon is only a Rookie. I thought that Stormdramon was just a legend but I guess he's not."

"Eight years huh?" asked Kari. "That's about the same time that Willis got his digimon and Greymon fought with Parrotmon in Japan."

"That's right," said Jack, showing them his digivice. "I'm a DigiDestined, just like all of you."

"Strange," said Patamon. "I don't remember seeing you at that final fight with Malo Myotismon."

"Did you see the size of that crowd?" asked Jack. "It's easy to not get noticed, but I was there alright."

"Well where were you when we had to round up the digimon a few months back?" asked Mimi. "Remember when they started appearing all over the world?"

"It's an interesting story actually," said Jack. "You see, I really wanted to meet up with you, Michael, Davis, and the others in town, but when I left to confront a pair of Devidramon outside the city I ran into some trouble. They weren't very cooperative to say the least. They overwhelmed Stormdramon and I and we would have been goners had he not finally managed to digivolve to his Champion form. This allowed him to take care of the first Devidramon with ease, but the second one got the drop on us and knocked both of us out. By the time we had come to, you guys had everything wrapped up."

"So how exactly did you come to be a DigiDestined in the first place?" asked Gatomon.

"Well…" said Jack. "My whole story begins eight years ago, when I was only a kid. It was summer, and I had just finished my lunch and was about to go outside when I saw a strange glow coming from my family's computer. When I got closer, a strange code sequence flashed across the screen and a blue-and-white DigiEgg popped out. It took about a day for it to hatch into Geromon, a small, purple, ball-shaped digimon. Boy was he hungry. He must have eaten a whole pizza, 3 sandwiches, a loaf of bread and a cold pancake within the first half-hour of hatching. The next day I caught a report on the news about a terrorist bombing in Japan. Something about that news report stuck out in mind. It was a few years before I connected it to the digimon.

It took Geromon about a week to digivolve into Feramon. He was certainly an excitable little digimon. His head looked like that of Koromon and his body was like Demiveemon's, except he was purple. He told me all about digimon, digivolving, and the Digital World. For the next few years, he stayed as Feramon, then everything started going crazy all over the world. The weather went totally out of whack and I started seeing monsters on the TV. Feramon told me that they were digimon, like him. Several days after the whole thing began, I started hearing news reports of monster sightings all over the world, but especially in Tokyo. As luck would have it my parents and I were there on a visit to some distant relatives. I watched the whole thing unfold with Feramon at my side. We happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, since we found ourselves within Myotismon's fog barrier.

Feramon and I were alone in our hotel room when the Bakemon attacked; my parents had gone out shopping. Knowing that Feramon didn't stand a chance against them, I told him to hide. I attacked the Bakemon myself with the baseball bat I had brought along. As I fought with one of them, Phantomon appeared behind me. I made it onto the balcony and jumped onto a passing Bakemon, whom I rode safely to the ground. I started to run, but Phantomon and his cronies caught me and took me to the convention center. After I tried to escape a couple times, the Bakemon decided to tie me up. As I sat, tied to one of the benches, I plotted a way to escape. Suddenly, Feramon appeared from out of one of the nearby plants. We were happy to see each other and he tried to untie the ropes, but the knots were too complicated for his little hands. That's when this kid approached me. He said he would try to untie the ropes and he was able to do it after a few minutes. Once he freed me, my digivice began emitting a strange glow. He told me that his name was Davis. Weird coincidence, huh? I thanked him and tried to sneak away from the Bakemon with Feramon and find a way out, but they spotted us. They attacked Feramon. He was almost out for the count when I stepped in and tried to save him. The Bakemon attacked me, but before they could land a single hit, my digivice activated and Feramon finally digivolved into Stormdramon. His strength allowed him to easily clear the Bakemon from our path, but we didn't have time to free anyone else as Phantomon had just shown up. We made a hasty retreat.

Stormdramon and I managed to evade the Bakemon thanks to him digivolving. After running around the city for several hours, we saw the massive battle being waged between you guys and Myotismon. We didn't think we could be much help so we watched you fight him, and Venom Myotismon later. We even watched you return to the digital world and your fight with Apocalymon. Seeing how strong all your digimon were made me want to get Stormdramon as strong as he could get so we could protect the people of Earth if the time came. He agreed with me, so we got to training right away after returning to New York, which was a mess after Gorillamon's visit. Stormdramon usually trained up on the rooftop or outside the city when he could find a bus to ride on top of.

Some time later, I began tracking a virus on the Internet. I followed it to a DigiEgg that had somehow appeared there. I now know that that was Willis' doing. I kept a close eye on it, watching it digivolve and make its way across the world. I saw it battling with Agumon and Tentomon, and then with Gabumon and Patamon. I watched as Tai and Matt appeared on the Internet and helped Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon combine into Omnimon. After the battle ended, Stormdramon and I were more dedicated than ever to making him as strong as he could become.

My life continued in a pretty normal way for a while, up until around a year ago. I was helping Stormdramon with his training on a roof across town when my digivice started going nuts. Looking around, I saw Willis and Terriermon in an alley by the side of the building. Moments later, Wendigomon appeared. I watched the battle between the digimon, hopping from rooftop to rooftop to watch the fight. You two showed up a couple minutes later and Wendigomon disappeared, shortly before Willis ran off. It didn't take me long after seeing you to figure out who you were. I was also pretty fascinated by the fact that there was another DigiDestined living right here in New York that I didn't know about, so I decided to follow him, knowing you would do the same. I followed him all the way to Colorado where he met up with Davis, Yolei, Cody, and their digimon. I watched and heard everything that happened. After the battle, I headed back here, to New York to think about everything that had happened."

"Wow," responded T.K. "I thought there weren't any more DigiDestined out there that we didn't know about. What made you decide to come to us instead of Willis?"

"Well," started Jack. "I'm going on a month-long trip to Tokyo as part of a short-term foreign exchange program tomorrow. I figured you guys could arrange a meeting with the rest of the team. I'd love to meet them all face-to-face. I've already met the other DigiDestined here and to be honest, you guys seem a lot more interesting."

"And stronger too!" chimed in Stormdramon.

"Sure thing," replied Kari. "We'd be more than happy to show you around. We're leaving the same day as you. We might even be on the same plane."

"Thanks for your help Kari," said Jack. "It's getting late so you should all get going. It's been great finally meeting you all."

With that, T.K., Kari, Mimi, and the digimon left, their minds still focused on Jack's story.
