Author's Notes: Hey there folks! Welcome to the very first chapter of Burnt Leaf Declassified, a spin off to The Tamer: A Digimon Adventure. This story will be self contained and will focus more on the dealings of the organization Burnt Leaf. A few things need to be discussed.

First, this story presumes you're already familiar with The Tamer: A Digimon Adventure - as well as anime in general. If not, then you may want to brush up. I'll always make a point of noting which anime to be familiar with for each chapter, but this does take place in the same universe and continuity as that story.

Second, don't expect regular updates. This story is written as a side story and is meant to sort of reflect on the world after the events of The Tamer A Digimon Adventure. As a result, updates will happen every so often and will have huge gaps between posts. Regular readers will know in advance if they read The Tamer: A Digimon Adventure.

Finally, the story will be largely self contained - it will have its own plot, characters, and identity as a story. One of the rules for this story is that none of the digidestined can appear in this story. Digimon will occasionally show up, but few will have any major role in the main Tamer storyline. There is one exception - the first two chapters of Burnt Leaf Declassified will have references to the main story to help connect them. To reiterate an earlier point, the story presumes you're familiar The Tamer: A Digimon Adventure already. I apologize for this long digression. That's all I have to say, so let's start the story!

'Hello Mister Prime Minister'

Memo to the Prime Minister of Japan

Re: Odaiba Incident

Dear Prime Minister

I apologize if this communication takes you off guard. If timed correctly, you should be seeing this lying on your desk five seconds after I've left. Don't ask about how we got past the guards, or managed to get in and out without alerting security. You'll sleep better that way.

I understand that you need more information regarding the events in Odaiba a few weeks ago and you're having some difficulty acquiring them. In light of recent events, I feel that it is time we began exercising more transparency with your office. My organization will gladly share with your office anything we deem safe to reveal to the public.

Do understand that there is a reason for our secrecy. To put it plainly, monsters exist in the world Mr. Prime Minister. My organization is the only line of defense against them. All threats are killed. Anything that can't be killed, is contained.

This knowledge is classified to the highest level. Yes, even above you. Yes, there are people in this world who know things you don't. Any attempt to approach the National Diet concerning this will be met with scrutiny to your office and a vote of no confidence. Your reputation with the people will also take a dive as their elected leader begins raving about the existence of a covert organization that exists only in the minds of the most insane and paranoid members of society.

There is only one authority we answer to, and he will deny any knowledge of our existence if questioned about it.

Regarding the matter of information, we will provide you with files concerning the Odaiba Incident. While I'm sure you would prefer to hear otherwise, we had nothing to do with the ICBM that was fired by the United States towards downtown Tokyo. Truth be told, we were preparing to secure our facility to prevent loss of personnel. Never the less, we will release to you any information regarding cases we feel you should know about.

As with all things, there is a price to pay. In exchange for this service, we require a transfer of funds to our organization through unmarked bills in an amount no less than 150 million yen per file released. The money can be wired to the provided private bank account: XXXX-XX-XXX. After all, if there is to be any progress between my organization and your office, then there must be some degree of cooperation.

Make no attempts to trace this account. It exists as a mutual fund for several high profile third parties who would not appreciate a probe by the Japanese government. Any such probe would hurt Japan's relationship with these individuals and their interests. In turn, the international community may raise questions ask questions even you would sweat at.

All files provided to you shall be marked: 'Burnt Leaf Declassified'

I look forward to your thoughts on this arrangement. We'll contact you again in 24 hours.

Author's Notes: And there you have it. The first chapter of Burnt Leaf Declassified. I hope it's peaked your interest. It wasn't that long but that was intentional. If you liked it, leave a review in the comments section. I make a point of replying within a day or two. I also welcome constructive criticism. Unless it's a guest review. Then don't expect a reply at all as there's absolutely no way for me to communicate to you through this medium. Anyway, if you liked it, why not give the next chapter a read? It's much longer and actually has a plot!
