This is my first Digimon fanfic without the digimons, I hope that you don't hold back when you post a review.
Chapter 1:
Walking through the busy snow covered streets of the city called Odaiba were a group of young children.
The group was heading to their school called Odaiba Elementary while talking about random things such as family, school work or other things that came to mind.
"I can't wait for winter! Having fun in the snow with my best friends!" a girl with short mahogany hair and dark brown eyes wearing a pair of white aviator goggles around her neck, a dark blue sweater with red flames at the bottom and a pair of black shorts, exclaimed with excitement and joy.
"Relax there Dais, the winter holiday are weeks away from now" a blond boy with azure eyes wearing a cream colored Gilligan hat, a green vest over a yellow T-shirt and a pair of dark green shorts, pointed out.
The goggle girl, Daisuke, lowered her shoulders in disappointment at that fact.
"Cheer up Dais, how about we all hang out at the mall after school?" a chocolate brown haired girl with matching colored eyes wearing a white beret, a red scarf around her neck, a pink sweater and a pair of green tights, suggested.
That seemed to cheer up the other brunet as everyone in the group nodded in agreement and they continued on their way to school.
When they arrived at the front gate of Odaiba Elementary, they sat by a bench in the schoolyard and just chat about the things they would do together on the holidays.
"My family owns a nice cabin up in the nearby mountains, it's perfect for snowboarding" the blond boy, TK, suggested towards the group.
"That's a great idea! I even got a new snowboard for my birthday that I was dying to try out!" a long lavender haired girl with brown eyes and a pair of round glasses wearing a dark brown snowcap, a long maroon jacket over a light red sweater and a pair of blue pants exclaimed with joy.
"Why would you get a snowboard on your birthday? You don't even know how to snowboard" a boy with raven hair and indigo eyes wearing a grey sweater and matching pair of pants, pointed out; deflating his friend's mood.
"Well you can teach me how when we're at the cabin, right?" she asked while fluttering her eyes at him.
The dark haired boy groaned in frustration while everyone else in the group just rolled their eyes at the older girl's antics.
The school bell rang, signaling the start of the school day and the group along with all the other students head inside the main school building.
After putting their bags in their own lockers, the group split up with the tall lavender haired girl, Yolei, and a small brunet boy wearing a brown sweater and a pair of light brown pants leaving to their classes, since they are from different age groups.
School went at a boring pace for many, as the hours counting down to their holiday pass them by.
Soon the final bell rang, much to the students' relief and they quickly run to their lockers to keep their books and take their bags before running off to enjoy snow.
Among the railed up students were the group from earlier, walking together as they head to the shopping complex known as Odaiba Mall.
Once inside the large building filled with shops, restaurants, entertainment centers and other interesting things, they went off wondering from one part to the next without a specific place or a care in mind.
The group first went to the cinema and watched one of the action movies that were being premiered.
They gasp in awe at the epic explosions, were at the edge of their seats during the amazing action scenes and rolled their eyes every time Yolei gushed whenever a hot male actor came to view.
After the movie was over, they went to the arcade and played all kinds of games from shooting games to racing games; they even had a dance off between Daisuke and Yolei at the dance machine at the center of the arcade!
The game ended about an hour later with Daisuke somehow coming out as the winner.
"Man, I'm tired from all that dancing" Daisuke said as she wipes away the sweat on her forehead.
"So am I, let's go get something to eat" Yolei suggested and after getting nods of agreement from everyone, they went off in search of a nice place to just relax and eat.
A moment of searching had brought the group to a nice quite restaurant but just as they were going to enter, they bumped into a group of teenagers that were about to walk right by the place.
"Tai!" Kari called out to a teenage boy with wild brown hair and chocolate eyes wearing a yellow scarf, a blue sweater and a pair of black shorts.
The older brunet turned his head to her and a bright smile was instantly on his face as he and his friends walk towards the group.
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" he asked, his smile still on his face.
"Went to watch a movie and then played some games at the arcade" Daisuke answered with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Dais and Yolei even had a dance off and you can't believe who won!" TK mused.
"Who won?" a girl with fiery orange hair and crimson eyes wearing a red sweater with a dark red scarf around her neck and a light green skirt asks the younger group.
"Dais won!".
"What! How could Dais win? Yolei beats a lot of people at that game!" an older blond boy with azure eyes wearing a dark blue jacket over a green sweater and a pair of jeans, gasps in shock.
"Luck I guess?" Daisuke said, shrugging her shoulders again.
"Come on guys, let's go eat" she said before leading the now large group into the restaurant.
They all sat at a large table that had just enough seats to hold all twelve of them.
After making their orders, the group talked to each other about the holidays.
"So you guys are planning to go to the mountains for the holidays? Can we join in on the fun?" the wild haired boy, Tai, asked the younger members.
"Sure! It's more than big enough to fit everyone" TK said, his brother nodded in conformation from across the table.
"This winter break is going to be a blast!" Daisuke exclaimed with excitement before a loud explosion was heard not that far away from the restaurant.
"What was that?" a girl with pink hair and brown eyes wearing a dark red sweater with a pink scarf and snowcap and a pair of light brown pants, asks no one in particular.
"I don't know but I think we should go and investigate it" Tai suggested and everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
The group gets up from their seats and along with the other customers, left the restaurant to find the source of the explosion.
They ran straight to the center of the shopping complex and as they were heading there, they passed by many people running at the opposite direction while screaming in terror; making some of the members in the group wonder if their doing the right thing.
At the center of the shopping complex, the air had a lot of dust and smoke in it, making it hard for anyone to see the cause of the explosion.
Slowly, the smoke faded away enough for a shadowy figure to be seen standing on top of the rubble.
"Put your hands in the air and come out of the smoke!" a brunet man wearing a blue police uniform, ordered while pointing his gun at the figure.
The figure did nothing for a while before raising his right arm and then, defying logic, it extended before piercing straight through the police officer, who was at the base of the rubble.
Everyone at the shopping center screamed in terror as they watched the arm retract back to its owner, which turns out to be a silver colored humanoid machine.
More police officers arrive and start firing at the mysterious machine but to everyone amazement; it dodged all the bullets with ease.
One by one, the policemen were being killed off by the machine and everyone was trying to run away from it.
The group had run back the way they came from and for a moment it looked like things were going smoothly.
"I… Think we… Lost whatever the… Hell that thing was" Tai said in between tired pants.
Suddenly, the store that they stopped in front of exploded, sending them all flying along with all kinds of shrapnel to the store opposite of it.
The group groaned in pain as they try to shake away the daze from the explosion.
Once they did, they saw a silvery metallic figure coming out from what was once a working store.
"Oh no, it found us! We're dead!" Yolei screamed in terror.
"Wait, that thing looks different to the one we saw earlier" Ken pointed out.
If you were to compare this creature to the one at the center of the shopping complex, you would notice that this one was shaped like that of a woman while the other one looked more muscular like a man.
The creature stalked its way towards Tai and made its arm formed into a sharp blade as it pulls it back to prepare to strike.
"Tai, watch out!" Daisuke exclaimed as she thoughtlessly got in-between Tai and the humanoid and got stabbed right through the chest.
"Dais!" everyone exclaimed in horror and shock as they were frozen watching their friend's blood trickling down the blade tip protruding out of her back while more blood was oozing out of her mouth.
Suddenly, the sound of five gunshots came and the humanoid disintegrated into thin air, the injured Daisuke dropped onto the floor.
A tall blue haired young adult with black eyes and a pair of square glasses wearing a dark blue sweater with a grey scarf and a pair of brown pants, kneeled next to Daisuke and checked her vitals.
"Guys, Dais is still alive but just barely!" the doctor-to-be, Joe, exclaimed, much to his other friends' relief.
"Come on, we need to get her to an ambulance now!" Tai ordered and they quickly but carefully lift their injured friend towards the exit.
Unbeknownst to the panicking group, a teenage boy with unruly caramel brown hair, cold onyx eyes and a pair of square glasses wearing an unbuttoned black suit over a white shirt and a pair of black slacks, was hiding in a store while listening to the whole conversation as he kept his newly fired pistol behind him.
The mysterious boy pressed a button on his communicator and said "This is Shiratori. Sir, there were several injured civilians at the scene of the incident and one of them is in critical condition. What do you want me to do?".
