Hello there! Welcome to Broken Frontier, my very first fanfic, since the other one is a translation. I have had this in mind for a long time, and since I've just moved to the USA (hello America) and I don't have internet yet, I thought, "this is the best time to write that fanfic", and that's what I did. If any of you people is expecting new chapters of my translation of A Little Night Music, don't worry, I'll have it ready as soon as I can.
Of course, I don't own Digimon or any other show that could appear here (don't worry, I'm not planning turning this into a crossover).
I : An Slightly Unusual Day
Oh, crap. That's what was going throught my mind at that moment. What moment, you ask? That's an easy one, the moment when an humongous black dinnosaur attacks my school in the middle of lunch break. I was hungry, for crying out loud! Yesterday I had an stressing day and I wasn´t feeling like fighting overgrown lizards. No, you didn't misheard anything, I said fighting it.
I gues you are thinking "Sure, go get crushed by the four stories high dinosaur, I'm sure that 'll annoy it" Well, a week ago, you would've been right but not today. ¿Why? I'm about to explain that.
It all began yesterday at school, around the fourth period, if you don't know, in my school we've got six periods.
Just another boring day, that's what it was gonna be like for everyone else, and for me, or so I thought then.
Waghhhh! How can such a boring class exist? I swear about half an hour ago, it was only fifteen minutes left to finish, and now I have to wait five more of these infinite minutes? That's what happens when you're in my geography class, time slows down and every word coming from the teacher's mouth is like a brick hitting your brain. You see, our geography teacher, Mrs. Izayaki, is the most boring and hated teacher in the school; last term, she only passed six students out of twenty seven, and we're the only class our age she teaches. Yeah, we're lucky. I'm fourteen by the way.
Can't someone, i don't know, throw her a book or something? I'd do it myself, but I'm at the other side of the classroom, and I could miss her. Suddenly, everything seemed to slow down even further, and a strange shadow crossed the clasroom."What the heck?"
I followed the shadow with my eyes, it came from the window besides the teacher, and it seemed to be getting closer to me as it whirled around the room, but nobody seemed to notice anything out of the ordinary, in fact, nobody seemed to move, it was as if they were... frozen.
"Hey!,someone? There's a weird dark thing here!" I exclaimed as I stood up, but no one moved.
Ok, what's going on here? I moved back a little. The shadow kept getting closer, until it was about two meters from , the shadow glowed red, came out the floor in the shape of a one meter tall, half a meter wide, flame. "I found you Takuya!" As soon as it said this, it pounced towards me, and hit me, then, everything went black for about five minutes.
"Takuya!" said a voice i couldn't recognice, but was somehow familiar."Takuya, wake up"That's weird, this voice sounds just like, like... mine! I woke up in a second. I was in some kind of nothing, everything around me changed colour continously, giving everything a psychodelic effect.
"Takuya, you're awake!" the misterious voice that was mine, but wasn't, said."Took you long enough!"
I turned around looking for the source of the voice. Behind me stood something, well, more like someone, who I hadn't seen for a long time, and then, it was me who was in that shape, not a different being.
"Hey! You're that digimon I turned into after running away from the Digital World" And in fact, it was, with the orange long hair, the two stubby horns, the light brown thin fur covering all it's body, the red clothing, the dog-like nose, the flaming tail, averything was just like it was when I looked like it, except that maybe he was a bit taller.
"Well, I am, but I'm not." he( since his voice was just like mine but a tad deeper I assumed he was a guy) said,"While I'm in the same shape you adopted that time, I'm obviously not you. Don't you recognize me, Takuya?"
I stared at him carefully, did I know him from somewhere? If I knew him, it would be from my time in the Digital World, I don't think I've met- But then I noticed something I didn't when I looked that way, maybe it wasn't, maybe I just missed it, but it was right there, on his belt, the symbol of fire. "A-agunimon?"
"I knew you would recognize me, even in my rookie form" he answered.
"Rookie form? I didn't know you had one" It was a pretty stupid comment. Since he was a digimon, he had a rookie form, it was obvious.
"I wasn't born a legendary warrior, you know" he said with a smirk on his face, "Coming to this world took me a lot of energy, so I reverted to rookie level"
"Yeah, right. It was a stupid question. But what are you doing here? You and the other warriors are supposed to be protecting the digital world." I asked. The smirk on his face disappeared, and he turned serious.
"That's what I wanted to talk about." I turned serious too, maybe the Digital World was in danger again. "There's trouble in the digital world, trouble that affects both worlds, but that can't be fought from our world" he said, "Rifts have been appearing in the Digital World, and these rifts are growing larger, it's only a matter of time before they start bringing digimon to Earth."
Wow, didn't see that coming."I thought we closed the door between both worlds after defeating Lucemon" I said, after all, we risked our lives to prevent him from coming to the Real World.
"Yes you did. I don't know what is making the wall between the worlds to weaken, but while the Angels try to find out, it's necesary to make sure that the digimon brought to Earth by the rifts don't cause any mayor trouble. That's the reason me, and the other five warriors have come to this world."
"Wait, what about the other four warriors? They weren't corrupted this time, were they?" I wouldn't like having to fight them all over again.
Agunimon gave me an asuring smile,"No, it's not that. It's just that, since they aren't tied to anyone in your world, they weren't able to come." I sighed, at least that's four enemies less.
"So now that you're here, all we have to do is spirit evolve when a digimon appears, and kick it's butt, right?" I said, hoping that was all.
"Well, it's not actually that easy," Of course, it can never be that easy, there's always a catch."The main problem would be that you can't spirit evolve." I stared at him, my jaw hittting the (non-existent) floor. "No, don't say anything yet" he said, refraining me from talking."There are two reason why you can't spirit evolve. First, here, in this world, you aren't made of data, so you can't simply digivolve like if you were a digimon. And second, to spirit evolve, you would need a digital spirit."
"B-but you're here! You're the spirit of fire, I already have a digital spirit!" I said, even thought I knew that, if he said I couldn't, then I couldn't.
"While I'm the warrior of fire, I'm not longer in the form of a digital spirit. Now I can't spirit digivolve with you." he said, with a sad expresion on his face.
"Then, why are you here? If we can't fight together like in the old days, what are you doing here?" I wasn't trying to sound like that, but I was feeling sad disappointed, and a bit angry.
I was really surprised when he answered my question with a grin on his face."Hey, don't take me wrong, you can't "spirit" evolve, but I wouldn't be here if we hadn't found an alternative to that." Right now, he had all my atention."You see, the first problem, you will have to turn into data. ¿How? You're thinking. Well with the new digivice you'll get, you won't be able to spirit digivolve, but to do something new, the Angels named this "Digitalization", when you do this, you'll be turned into data. But even the Angels' power is limited, they weren't able to reproduce the same process you went throught when you came to the Digital World, so you won't stay human."
"Wait right there. Are you telling me that I'll just turn into a digimon like that? Without spirit?" I asked.
"Impacient, aren't we?" he said in a teasing voice,"As I was saying, you won't stay human,this is because to turn you into data, it will be necesary to use data from a digimon, from me in this case. But you won't be a digimon either. You'll probably be as strong as a rookie level, so you'll be able to fight."
"Ok, two questions. What am I going to do with the strengt of a rookie level?, and what do you do if we don't spirit evolve?" I said.
"I can answer both questions with just one answer" he said,"Since I'm no longer just a spirit we can fight side to side, so it's not the strenght of a rookie level, but the strength of two rookie level, one of them with an avobe average strength I must say." He smirked,"And since in that form you'll be data, we'll be able to perform something similar to spirit evolution, let's keep calling it that, to avoid complications. You see, in this world I'm stuck in my rookie form, the name's Flamon by the way, but if we spirit evolve we'll be able to reach higher levels." He took a deep breath."So, what do you think?"
It took me a bit to process everything he said,"I think that was a mouthfull" He groaned."When you say spirit evolution, you mean we'll be one, like in the old days?" He answered with a nod."That's awesome! I was beginning to fear I would never see a digimon again."
Flamon smiled,"Then I'll see you later." And with that, he disappeared, and everything began to spin around me. Huh?What's going on here?
"Mr. Kanbara!" I woke up suddenly. I was in the classroom, and was giving me that glare she gives everyone she busts in la-la land in the middle of the class.
"You calamity! So you think the growth in the population of the asian countries in the last century is boring, right?" she said.
I'm pretty sure she wouldn't like the answer to that. I was having such a roll, almost a month without being grounded or failing an exam, there's gotta be something I can say...
Just tell her "Yes, it's boring and I don't care about it at all"
Yes, that's a good idea, I'll tell her- What the heck! Who said that?
What? Forgot me already?
Agun-Flamon? Where are you?
Inside yout head Takuya, as your partner, I can't leave you alone, what would happen if a digimon atacked and I'm not here? Now go tell that old crone what I said and get outta here.
Two things, first, No! And second, what's up with you? Aren't you supposed to be a legendary warrior? What's with calling old women "crones"? I do that, but shouldn't you be a little more... serious?
Who do you think I am? Lobomon? I might be a legendary warrior, but that doesn´t mean I've got a stick stuck up my ass. And you know something else?
What?
Lucemon's ugly aunt is still waiting for an answer.
Oh, crap!
Stupid old witch, making me stay after class was over, ruining my not being grounded or failed roll. Maybe I should feed her to the first digimon I see.
As funny as that would be, I think you shouldn't. Said Flamon in my mind.
I don't know if you ever had another person in your head but it can be pretty annoying, even disturbing sometimes, like when you go to the bathroom. But that wasn't important right then, I was heading home to see my digital form, I wanted to surprise the other ones, but I wouldn't be able to contact anyone until tomorrow.
You know? I'm the first one finding one of you guys, the other ones are still looking for your friends.
Eah, that makes sense, that's because the twins are on a maths contest, they won't be back until the weekend; Tommy will be in a theme park until tomorrow, the first graders always go there, lucky bastards; JP has important exams, so he'll be out of sight for a while; and Zoe went to Italy with her parents, but she'll be back tomorrow.
I see... Then it's up to us if a digimon appears.
Yup.
I arrived at home ten minutes later, my mother gave me a speech about tardiness, and Shinya annoyed me because of that.
Finally, I was alone I'm my room."Wew, I thought that would never end." I sighed, then, my cellphone began ringing. "Huh? Who could it be?" I opened the drawer with my phone inside, as soon as I picked the phone up, it began glowing white. I closed my eyes, and when I opened them my cellphene had been replaced by a brand new digivice. It was similar to my old one, but slightly smaller, with a bigger screen and the buttons and grey stripes orange.
"I guess this is my new digivice" I said.
"Exactly" I turned around, surprised by the voice behind me. Flamon was standing behind me, with a smirk on his face. "What are you doing there!" I whispered, "If my mother came in right now and saw you, she would freak out!"
"That's if, but who cares about the ifs? I think you have been a bit too serious lately, what you need is a bit of digimon fighting. If you continue being like this, you'll end up being like Kouji." He said jokingly. But he was kind of right, lately I had been a bit grumpy, I needed to cheer up.
"Maybe your right, I wouldn't like that... But that's not important right now, 'cause I'm about to become a digimon once again!" I exclaimed.
"You won't be exactly a digimon, we'll leave that part for the actual battle" Flamon said "Just try digitalizing. I won't be able to help you in the same way I did when you first became Agunimon, so I want you to get familiar with your new form."
"Yeah, whatever. C'mon, let's do this. Digitalize!" Nothing happened.
Flamon sweatdropped."That's not how you do it Takuya, you don't have a digicode, you have to press the digivice against your chest, not pass it throught your digicode.
Alright, that was embarrasing. I tried not to blush because of my lame try of digitalization. "Ok, my bad, let's pretend that never happened." I said."Let's try again. Digitalize!"
I could feel it working, it was similar to evolving, but not exactly the same. When spirit evolving, I felt my body being pressed and changed and was slightly painful, pretty painful if it was with the beast spirit. But this new process felt much more natural, I could still feel my body changing, but it didn't hurt at all. I felt my hair growing longer and my canines turning into fangs. I saw my hair turning orange, my fingernails growing into claws and my skin getting more tanned, but not much. The last change I noticed was a tail just like Flamon's growing from my rear end. Althought I didn't notice this until later on my ears had become pointed and the same markings Flamon had had appeared on my clothes remained the same, except for the flame symbol appearing on my t-shirt.
"Hey, looking good, you remind me of someone, thought I can't put my finger on who..." Said Flamon with a smirk on his face.
"You sure are humble" I said absently, while inspecting my brand new tail. When you get a tail for the first time you never know what to use it for, ask anyone with a tail.
"Sooo... what do you think?" Flamon asked.
"I like it." I answered, "It's more comfortable than when I spirit evolved, althought I expected to be a little more digimon..."
"Whatever. You will thank me later, or even better, thank me now, 'cause I've got a surprise." He said with a growing grin on his face. "You see, since I know you were a bit jealeous of Kouji's swords, with a little help from the Angels I got you... This!" With a burst of flames, a short sword appeared in his hand. It was an yellow and orange single edged blade, it looked a bit like a falcata, but a bit bigger, and with a more curved blade.
"Heck yeah! That's awesome!" I snatched the sword from his hand and swinged it around, menacing with slicing in half all the furniture. With one of the swing, a half-moon shaped flame shot from the blade. Luckily, Flamon absorbed it and stopped me from burning the house to cinders.
"How about we leave the slicing and burning for the actual battle and you just get familiar with your new shape?" He said.
"Takuya! Are you with someone?" My mother asked from downstairs.
"No, mom"
After an evening of getting used to my half digimon form, and doing homework, and extra homework, I wen't to bed without any of those infamous digital rifts appearing...
And that's what happened yesterday, and that's why I'm about to kick some digital dinosaur's butt.
A/N : There goes the first chapter, I hope you liked it. I'll try to update once a month, but I can't assure anything. I'd like to thank casju for beta reading this chapter.
