Hi everyone, it had been a while. I hope everyone had been well. I had been busy with school, exam and new job. This is a rewrite version of the Alternate Destiny.
Rewriting this fanfic had been lingering in my mind for long. I haven't been happy with the previous version. After discussing with the wonderful, encouraging and patient beta, Naomi Shihoin, we begin to work on a rewrite. If you read the previous version, you will already know how the setting of some of the characters will be like. There will be some changes anyway. Because of my busy schedule, this fanfic will not be updated very quickly.
This story will link the far past, present, future and how the future of the Chosen Children were affected due to events triggered from the far past. As for how, we shall see in future chapters. The setting of the fanfiction is set after my previous installment, the Alternate Adventure. I'm hoping the plot of this story to be able to stand alone.
Please read and review. That may help me in generating new ideas. Who knows :)
Digimon is not mine.
Prologue: The Birth
*1999, 01 Dimension*
The battle was on. The ground was shaking and it cracked and a few children were caught in it. One of them was glowing.
Birdramon, Angemon and Angewomon managed to break the fall of the children as they landed on the floor below.
Over at the underground, another group of children arrived at the scene.
"Oniichan." The girl, Yagami Hikari who was glowing called out to the other group. They were separated earlier.
"Hikari!" The brother of the glowing little girl, Yagami Taichi called out.
"Sora-san, Takeru-kun!" Izumi Koushirou who was with Taichi called out to the companions who were with Hikari. The five Chosen Children were finally reunited.
Taichi took Hikari happily on his arms while Koushirou explained to Takenouchi Sora and Takaishi Takeru to keep them posted on what was going on. Andromon was fighting one of the Dark Masters, Mugendramon to protect Taichi and Koushirou as their partners, Agumon and Tentomon were too hungry to even evolve.
Even with the combined strength of Andromon, Angewomon, Angemon and Birdramon, they were no match for Mugendramon.
"Mugendramon is an Ultimate Level." Koushirou reminded his friends who were horrified how badly their partners fared against Mugendramon.
"I didn't even feel that." Mugendramon said after throwing the Digimon off his back.
"Now you guys are next!"
Taichi and the rest averted their eyes. All seemed to be lost. There was no way they could win. Even so, Hikari took a stand. Herd of Numemon climbed over Mugendramon as Hikari walked towards Mugendramon. Even though they were small and weak, they would fight till the end. However, all were deleted in an instant.
"Numemon!" Hikari cried before falling unconscious on her brother's arms. Meanwhile, Agumon felt a surge of power through his weak and hungry body.
"Agumon, warp evolve⦠WarGreymon!"
WarGreymon had no time to waste. He needed to defeat Mugendramon in a single hit. WarGreymon remained focused as he charged past Mugendramon. He was reverted into Koromon as soon as he used his Dramon Killer on him in a blink of an eye. A scratch mark which was inflicted by Mugendramon appeared on his head.
Taichi awed in response.
"Koromon." Hikari called out in a weak voice.
"Now you're finished." Mugendramon declared. Koromon did not think so.
"I have Taichi, Hikari and everyone else on my side!" Koromon retorted. He would not lose. Koromon's attack earlier was effective. He was confident.
And Mugendramon was horrified to find his body sliced into parts.
Mugendramon could not believe it. He could not accept it. He was so close in defeating the Chosen Children and drove them into a corner. How that puny Digimon did it? That was the very last thing in his mind before his data dissipated into the air.
It had been quiet since then. The eight Chosen Children managed to defeat the remaining enemies including Apocalymon and made it back home. Even though all odds were against them, they managed to return intact. Mugendramon with his data floating somewhere in the Digital World could not comprehend why and how.
What did the children had he and the other Digimon who intended to take over the Digital World did not?
Mugendramon did not have the desire to reconfigure himself despite his friends were most likely reconfigured and reborn somewhere. He had done some calculation and simulation of all possibilities how things could have played out. None of them, by right was in the children's favour but so how?
Out of the blue, images of various events relating to Digimon and human children working together appeared like a movie running before him in his head. He absorbed the knowledge from them.
Within one of the events, he saw a little boy who seemed familiar struggling to climb a certain hill. Even with his fatal injury with something sticking out of his body but that would not stop him from fulfilling his wish.
That boy intrigued him.
"I hope for a miracle which will bring my neechan and everyone back and I hope everyone to live happily ever after. In my next life, I will become a Chosen Child and I'll overcome my dreadful destiny!"
Mugendramon could never forget the last words of the little boy before the bright golden light engulfed the area and the boy disappeared into the light holding on to a key similar to a tag and crest the Chosen Children had on hand.
"The key to grant wish. It's the power to change the world." Mugendramon realized watching the little boy contracting with a golden tag. If he could have it perhaps he could change his fate.
Mugendramon wavered in his decision of not configuring himself. If a little boy could change his fate, he should be able to do that as well.
In the sea of data, he noticed a bunch of corrupted data which intrigued him. It was not just a data of a Digimon. It was a group of data from a number of Digimon. The data was different from what he had analysed. They could not be even considered as a Digimon. They have no mind of their own.
Kimeramon was the name. Mugendramon gathered the information.
Just what could have created them?
It even contained data of the Digimon of not just the dark Digimon like Devimon and partner Digimon of the Chosen Children which even fascinated him. Mugendramon had made a decision.
He would reconfigure himself but in a different way. A new evolution, jogress evolution was born and Milleniumon was born.
Milleniumon came into play as he was downloaded in the server known as the Vault. The Vault housed the good and bad memories of the Chosen Children selected over various eras and various dimensions.
His mission is to find the Child with the key to grant wish, the child who had contracted with the crest.
Milleniumon obtained the ability to travel across dimension. In all his travels, he attempted to change the fates of the enemies Digimon by feeding them information to defeat the Chosen Children. The one who could defy his power was the one who held the key to grant wish, the one he was looking for.
Milleniumon had the power to manipulate history but he was never discovered.
And only one came close.
His name was Akiyama Ryo. When Milleniumon first noticed him, he wondered if this boy held the key. He was different from all other Chosen Children he had ever encountered.
Akiyama Ryo was a legendary Tamer also known as the Digimon King in a certain dimension. He met Ryo in a Digital World where Digimon were unable to reconfigure themselves if they were killed. Ryo was the only one who deduced his presence and appeared before him.
He enjoyed playing with Ryo. In order to further enhance the game, he challenged Ryo to come after him in another dimension and attempted to restore the events of the adventures the Chosen Children had which he had changed by granting enemy Digimon forbidden knowledge.
Ryo took the bait obviously. He was feeling bored as he was too smart. He could do everything well even without trying. He needed some excitement.
Milleniumon had fun watching him leading another life in another dimension thinking of himself as another person. He also had fun experimenting in the various possibilities the Chosen Children may have in the various timeline and dimension.
However, Ryo could not remember all his attempts all due to the power of the Vault.
Milleniumon could not wait if he would finally realise and use the key to stop him and reveal his identity as the contractor but he was always disappointed. Nevertheless it was still enjoyable to see the Chosen Children defeated because Ryo failed to stop him.
The negativity of the Chosen Children were increasing in the Vault because of these and Milleniumon had been harvesting the negativities in the form of dark seeds.
They were also food for Digimon born from the network, Diaboromon, a pet created by leader of the Demon Army, Demon. Demon had been interested to obtain the negativities in order to strengthen the dark forces within his rank.
Milleniumon mocked at himself. It was not just human who would wage wars against one another, even Digimon were the same. Demon would challenge the Dark Masters sooner or later if it was not that the Chosen Children had done the job in defeating them.
Demon was the only Digimon he did not feed the knowledge of his defeat to. Demon would operate in his own will. Milleniumon too enjoyed watching him as much as he enjoyed watching Akiyama Ryo. Because of that, he found something more interesting from the Chosen Children.
The prototype Digivices were something new to him. It was probably an attempt by the Digital World which had suffered countless loss due to his influence to stop the evil Digimon from rampaging further. Demon was one of the Digimon sealed thanks to the power of the prototype Digivices.
"Fun loving" Milleniumon decided to defeat the Chosen Children with prototype Digivices and break the seal on the Digieggs infected by darkness.
Using a certain female Ultimate Dark Digimon was the first step in his experiment. He wanted to see how the Digital World or Akiyama Ryo whom he thought could have held the key would retaliate and hopefully, Ryo would finally use the key to stop him.
However, Milleniumon had yet to realise that his influence in the events of the dimensions had also caused another Chosen Child in one of the dimensions to retaliate and he would fight his own destiny.
