Digimon Tamers Crimson: Episode 1 Light and Darkness

Within a mysterious part of space lies a tree so enormous it looks as though it were the center of the universe. However, that is not the case considering that this tree spawned only 10 years ago within the center formed by a singular being. That being was known as Yggdrasil who currently had control over the royal knights due to branding them. Also in the same area was a mysterious cloaked figure kneeling to the distorted being as if it were waiting on orders. "I need to ensure my control over the Digital World." Yggdrasil said spawning a mysterious orb made of data and lowered the hand towards the cloaked figure. "I trust you know what you should do with this piece of data Daemon." The cloaked figure revealed to be Daemon stood and accepted the orb of data knowing what Yggdrasil meant.

"It shall be done Lord Yggdrasil." Daemon said turning towards a portal that Yggdrasil spawned behind Daemon. As Daemon walked through the portal Yggdrasil thought "That orb of data holds one of the most powerful Digimon in all of existence. This time I made some "adjustments" with the data." Meanwhile in a secluded area in the Digital world Daemon approached the coffin and inserted the orb of data. "Now then, I resurrect you Count Vamdemon!" Daemon said raising both of his arms in the air as dark energy surged around the orb and transforming it into what appears to be a man in a large cloak with pale white skin, black hair and with a red aura surging around him. "Ahh, I see. Destiny has different plans for me does it?" The figure noticed his appearance as though he were seeing a complete stranger in the mirror.

"Count Vamdemon! I have summoned you forth to become your servant!" Daemon said bowing to Vamdemon to show his loyalty. "Hmph! You? The leader of the Demon Lords, serve me?" Vamdemon said with skepticism in his voice towards his newly acquired servant. "Yes, my count I only wish to serve you." Daemon said to restate his loyalty. Vamdemon started laughing at Daemon's statement and then said "Interesting, I have a feeling that this time won't be so bad after all." Suddenly a tall figure in gold armor with a skull head and an arm blade that looks very similar to a scythe made itself known nearby the two. "Count Vamdemon, I return to serve you yet again." The figure said kneeling nearby Vamdemon who approached him and said "Reapermon… It looks like things are going to get much more interesting. And, maybe we'll finally end this cycle of ours."

Meanwhile, in the human world five people with digimon were sitting on a bench eating ice cream reflecting on what's happened to them as of recently. "Things sure got hectic after a while. But, since we're all here it's safe to assume that so far the worst is behind us." One of them said who had brunette hair, hazel colored eyes, red and blue goggles strapped to his head, a casual short sleeve shirt, jeans, laced sneakers, and a prosthetic arm. This boy was named Simon Ackerman and his partner was the red dinosaur standing behind him named Guilmon. "A little bit into tempting fate huh Simon?" The girl sitting next to him said. She had somewhat red hair in a spiked bun, amethyst eyes, a blue broken heart t-shirt, red wristbands, a belt to hold her Digivice and cards, jeans with the bottoms rolled up and shoes with steel toes on them. She was Rika Nonaka and her partner was the bipedal yellow fox in the tree, Renamon.

"Well Rika, if it gets worse we'll prepare for it okay?" The boy sitting next to Simon said. He had blue hair, grey eyes, relatively tan skin, an orange vest with a brown shirt underneath, white wristbands, brown pants with yellow/grey sneakers. His name was Jenrya Li Wong or as Simon and co. calls him, Henry and his partner was the dog/rabbit digimon Terriermon who seemed to keep reaching for his tamer's ice cream.

"Y'know Simon, someday I'll get my Digimon and digivice. After that, I'll be there to help you with any fight." Another girl sitting next to Rika said. She had blue hair but unlike Henry was pale in terms of skin, blue eyes, had a white t-shirt on, jeans like Rika and regular sneakers. This is Nia Esthiem, daughter of the police commissioner Erwin Esthiem. Unlike the others she didn't have a Digimon partner but she continues to strive to help Simon with quite a number of things considering the two are in a relationship that has lasted a whole year. "So, if I get a Digivice does that mean I can actually help you Henry?" The youngest of the group asked. She had light purple hair in buns, purple eyes, a somewhat pink Chinese vest with a white shirt underneath, purple pants and pink/white sneakers. She is Shuichun Wong or as her friends would sometimes call her, Suzie. Like Nia she does not have a Digivice but hopes that she can have her own Digimon.

"Suzie, I don't think that sounds like a good idea. Besides this is a risky job we have to do." Henry said to Suzie who nodded and said "I know that, it's just, you never tell me anything about your adventures." Henry wasn't sure how to respond to that but then Terriermon perked up and said "Momentai okay Henry, if it happens it happens." Simon was somewhat amused by Terriermon. He looked towards Nia and said "That is a harsh truth Nia, our lives as you saw are not easy ones since we have been giving this duty." Nia smiles at Simon and says "Well I know that you'll be there to help me out, right Simon?" Simon responds "Of course Nia, besides there are some perks to being a Digimon tamer." Guilmon tilts his head and says "Well there is the fact that we can make new friends right?" Simon nods in response to Guilmon's statement. "I know that someday it will happen Nia, trust me on that."

Nia smiled at Simon's comment in terms of having faith in her and said "You can't always get your dreams just by wanting it right?" They all nodded at Nia's statement and laughed a little. Simon looked down at his ice cream and said "Today's the last day of summer guys. This means unfortunately it's time to hit the books." Rika sighed at that statement and said "At least this year I'll be going to the same high school as you guys instead of a private school." Henry bit his ice cream and said "So we're all going to be together huh?"

Suzie frowned at Henry's statement and said "I still have to go one more year in middle school before I even get to spend time with you Henry." Terriermon then stood on Henry's head and said "Well, like the wise mon said, "Momentai!" They all laughed at Terriermon's statement towards Suzie. After they finished their ice cream Rika and Renamon went on their separate way while Simon and the others decided to escort Nia back home before heading back to their apartment. "Well, Nia I guess I'll see you tomorrow then." Simon said embracing Nia in a hug. "Same here Mr. Ackerman." They then shared a kiss before Nia went into her house. "Henry, we need to get you a girlfriend one of these days." Terriermon said before Henry flicked Terriermon's ear.

When Simon, Henry, Suzie and Terriermon parted, Simon and Guilmon headed back into their apartment to settle down for a bit. "So Simon, are we doing anything tonight?" Guilmon asked pointing towards the costume hanging up on the closet door. "Not tonight Guilmon, crime has been slow ever since a week ago. Erwin told me to let him handle things for now. When something does happen he'll let me know and I'll get down to it." Simon then ended up changing into his pajamas and went to sleep with his partner sleeping next to the bed where Simon slept.

Morning came for Simon who got ready for school with his blue uniform on and his back pack full of things he'll surely need. "Well Guilmon, I'm off to school be back at about 2:15 okay buddy!" Simon said before walking out the door. Guilmon upon hearing the door close decided that since Simon's father Kittan was going to be busy during the school year booted up Simon's computer to play some games. "Since Simon's at school I might as well have some fun while he's away." Guilmon booted up his steam account on the computer all while grinning at what he was playing. Simon headed to see if Henry and Suzie were ready so they could walk to school together. Henry came out wearing the same uniform as Simon and Suzie was wearing her usual get up. Simon saw Terriermon hanging out in Henry's backpack and said "You sure he won't be a problem?" Terriermon pouted at Simon's statement and Henry responded "Don't worry about that, besides he could just be a stuffed animal."

Simon shrugged his shoulders and they headed out of the building and towards school. As they were walking they got Nia to go with them and it would seem that Rika joined them somewhat unexpectedly. "Well guys, let's get through this year and hope for the best." Simon said as they approached the school gate.

How will Simon and the gang's first day of school go? What is Guilmon playing on Simon's computer? And just what is going on in the Digital world? Find out next time on Digimon Tamers Crimson!
