The Human-Digimon of Fire, Ice, and Light
By Aubrie1234
Dear Readers, I got this story from Red Page's story, Secrets. His (I think) story inspired me to write this one, where the second season characters (which also include the first season characters, of course) try to help out one of their own, who goes through the almost same thing Takuya does. The fourth season characters will also be in the story, but I won't say what kind of role they will have. Well, I'll start the story now.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
Matt had just gotten out of school, along with the rest of the original Digidestined, and was now heading to Odiba Middle School to help his little brother and his friends clean up the Digital World after the 'Digimon Emperor' Incident. He was probably going to be the last one there, or something like that, and Izzy would fuss about attendance and things like that for a while before they would go into the Digiworld and fix a building or something. Same-old same-old. But lately, its been happening everyday for four or five days. As he was walking down an alleyway that was just a block or so from the school, he felt like he was being watched.
"Meow, meow!" came the faint mews of a kitten. Matt heard it coming from behind him, so he turned around. He would have seen the kitten if he had walked past it, wouldn't he? He didn't seen anything, but he took a careful look around.
"Maybe I was just imagining things." Matt muttered as he looked around, then shook his head in exasperation. It was probably the wind or something. As he was just about to turn around, someone grabbed him in a choke-hold and whispered: "I don't think you should struggle, DigiDestined." That sentence gave Matt an idea that whoever was holding him was an evil digimon or someone who works with one. He then heard the sound of something coming unsheathed, like a sword would...
I had better get out of here, now! Matt thought, now grabbing the arm around his neck. It felt like fur and straps were covering the hand that was holding him. From his experiences with digimon, he could tell that it was a WereGarurumon that was holding him. But, this WereGarurumon was black with white stripes.
Don't go into details, get away! Matt shouted to himself in his head as he started to kick his attacker. He must have hit somewhere hard, because his attacker then let go of him. Matt scrambled to his feet and started to run, but not for long. The BlackWereGarurumon then jumped in front of him, blocking his path. Boy, did he wish that Gabumon was there with him. If that BlackWereGarurumon could jump in front of him that quickly, he didn't have a chance if he tried to run.
"You aren't going anywhere, DigiDestined." It spoke, coming closer and holding a glinting dagger in his hand.
"What do you want?" Matt growled back, trying to hide his fear.
"Without the DigiDestined of Friendship, the other DigiDestined will fall apart." it explained, holding the dagger higher, getting ready to swing at Matt. Matt closed his eyes, waiting for the strike. But it never came. As the dagger was swung, his digivice went crazy and glowed with a bright light, turning the digimon and dagger into data. Matt was surprised at what happened, and looked down at his digivice. It still glowed brightly as it started to change shape. It changed into a device the size of his hand, colored red with a black handle. He untucked it from his belt and took a closer look at it. Its handle was on the left side of it, with a small screen on it. The very edge of the screen had the same color that the handle had covering it. It also had two buttons on the right side of it, a lot like his previous digivice. It seemed to be turned on as well. The symbol it showed looked like the Crest of Light, except that it wasn't connected, and that there were four spikes instead of eight.
"I need to tell the others about this." Matt muttered as he started to run to the school. As he got to the front of the school, a light flashed from one of the upper floor windows.
They must have left without me. he thought as he walked the rest of the way up to the computer lab. When he got there, no-one was waiting for him. He decided to wait at the door and email them, since his digivice couldn't open the gate.
"I'M IN THE COMPUTER LAB, GUYS." he emailed. He soon got a response from his best friend and little brother.
"WHERE WERE U?! WE HAD TO LEAVE WITHOUT U!" T.K. emailed. Matt got the same response from Tai, who had also emailed him.
"SORRY, BUT I HAD A RUN-IN WITH A DIGIMON." Matt answered. It took a minute or so before they answered again.
"A DIGIMON ATTACKED U? ARE U ALRIGHT?" Kari emailed him.
"I'M FINE, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED TO TELL U WHEN U GET BACK." he emailed. He soon got quite a few emails from Joe making sure he was alright and an email from T.K. telling him that they would be back as soon as they could. He waited for fifteen minutes before they all managed to comeback, landing in a pile on the floor.
"That looks like it hurts." Matt joked.
"Yeah, it does. And what happened, Matt? You said you needed to tell us something when we got back." Sora asked him as she and the others got untangled. He told them all about his run-in with BlackWereGarurumon and how his digivice changed shape as well. He then showed them the digivice.
"Even though it looks like a digivice that the new digidestined have, it still looks different. Besides, I'm not sure what it does, but it did save me from BlackWereGarurumon." Matt told them as Izzy investigated the digivice.
"It sure did, but what was a digimon doing in the Human World, anyway?" T.K. asked.
"I don't know." Matt told them as he shook his head. Then, they were interrupted by Izzy.
"Prodigious! This new digivice has the capability to tell you what a digimon is without the Digimon Analyzer and has the ability to scan a digimon!" Izzy told them.
"What do you mean by 'scan a digimon?'" Matt asked him.
"Well, you know how a digimon is made up of data, correct?"
"Yeah. But what does that have to do with scanning a digimon?"
"I'm getting to that. If a digimon is defeated, you can use this digivice to absorb the data for later."
"Kind of like saving some extra power for when you need it?"
"Exactly."
"But what I want to know is," Tai interrupted, "why did Matt's digivice change while ours didn't?"
"I don't know, but it might mean that Matt might be able to help Gabumon digivolve to Mega-level again. Or it might mean that Matt is needed to help out against a new evil digimon. It might mean one of those or something else." Ken suggested.
"I agree with Ken. A digimon wouldn't come out of nowhere and attack Matt for no reason. Maybe we can learn about this new digivice from Gennai." T.K. spoke.
"Right! Back to the Digital World!" Davis said, pumping his fist into the air.
"Not now, Davis. It's getting late. We can do it tomorrow, alright?" Joe suggested. No one argued with him, and they all went back to their homes. Before he went back to the apartment he shared with Cody and Yolei, T.K. walked with Matt back to his apartment.
"Seriously, T.K., I'm fine! You don't need to walk me home!" Matt told him, trying to convince him to go home while they walked.
"Sorry, Matt, but I want to make sure that you don't get ambushed again. Right, Patamon?" T.K. told his brother, then asked his digimon friend who was resting on his hat.
"Yeah, T.K., but let me have a bit of sleep, will ya?" Patamon asked, trying to go back to sleep. Matt just chuckled at the comment as T.K. told his digimon 'sorry' and went back to talking to him again.
"Anyway, Matt, I'm just worried about you because of what happened. I want to make sure my brother's alright, like you did to me when we were first in the Digital World." T.K. explained as they reached Matt's apartment.
"Well, this is where you go home, T.K. And don't worry, I'll be fine." Matt told his younger brother, going up the steps. T.K. just said a short 'goodbye' before leaving. Matt was a bit surprised that his brother wouldn't say anything else, but he shrugged it off as he enter the apartment building. As the elevator made the slow ascent to his floor, Matt ran the important of what happened that day, stopping at the part where his digivice had changed shape.
What does it mean? I hope Gennai can tell us tomorrow when we visit him. Matt thought as he unlocked the door to his apartment. As usual, no-one was there. He put his backpack on the couch and searched through it, looking for his computer. He finally found it and pulled it out, opening it and turning it on. He had a feeling that he needed to check the email on his computer right after he walked into the room. Matt was right, because after he had brought up his emails, he saw that his box had two new messages from that day. One was to make sure he met up with them that day, and the other one was unmarked. Izzy had helped program their computers to reject spam mail and any kind of mail like it, so that they wouldn't have to worry about it, so Matt knew that this had to be a message from someone, but who?
"Dear DigiDestined of Friendship," it started. At that, Matt knew that this wasn't just anyone who had messaged him. "Be very careful. You have been put in more danger now than you realize. And make sure to keep an eye on yourself these next few days. I cannot explain, but memorize this. It will help you in the future. Signed, Anonymous Digimon." it finished.
"What does he mean by that?" Matt questioned as he read the fourth sentence over and over again. He didn't know, but he made sure to tell the others about it tomorrow when they met up. He then turned off his computer, stuffed it back in his backpack, and made something to eat. After he ate and washed the dishes, he finally got dressed for bed and went to sleep.
