AN: Hi everyone the names Cannon, I'm a long time lurker here and I finally built up enough courage to post a story I've been thinking about for a while. Hopefully you all like it, but I am willing to take suggestions on how to improve. While right now the story starts kind of light hearted, it will take a darker turn so that's why it's rated M. Anyway hopefully you enjoy the prologue
Digimon Tamers: Hazards Sorrow Prologue
The Digital World: 5 years ago
It was quiet. Way too fucking quiet; he didn't know why but this pissed him off. Maybe because Not even 5 minutes ago there was a battle raging on and the landscape was being destroyed, or maybe because he was lying in a pool of his own blood slowly dying.
He wasn't sure either way but he knew that he hated the fact that things had become so quiet. He never wanted to die in silence, he wanted to go out with a bang, loudly with everyone watching him.
He could feel his broken goggles by his side, a reminder of his failures that led up to this moment. His partner was left in his in-training form somewhere on the battlefield and frankly he wasn't even sure if that thing was his partner anymore.
He could feel himself blacking out, as he did he looked up to the sky that was now clearing of the smoke, as he took one last look, all he could think about is how he wished he could fly into the sky free of all his problems, and with that thought he took what he believed was his last breath.
Shinjuku, Japan (The human world), 5 years later
Her room was dark save for the light of the computer screen that was bright as she spent her night chatting with her friends. The young woman who looked about 17 with red hair tied into a ponytail, wearing a white and blue shirt with a heart in the center along with jeans, came to the realization that she was bored.
The weekend had finally arrived and she had nothing to do, night had set in and that was usually when the action would begin. She had missed fights all week due to school work and now that the weekend came about she wasn't planning on missing another one. She tapped her foot impatiently in the chair listening to music, reading whatever stupid story Ryo was telling in the chat.
She enjoyed talking to her friends but sometimes some of them could be annoying. She could feel her partner waiting in the shadows, she wasn't the only one who wanted a fight.
Suddenly she finally got that notification she was looking for when Alice sent the message "Everyone we got one, it's near the train station who wants it." She quickly responded that she was taking it and everyone was smart enough not to challenge her.
As she got up putting on a coat and her shoes, her partner shifted calling to her. "Shall we go teach this one a lesson Rika.", she eagerly replied "I think we should Renamon." and with that her and Renamon were out the door into the night, ready to take care of those evil creatures that people called Digimon.
Rain was coming down heavily when she got outside and she was happy she had decided to wear a coat, as she had been searching for the rogue digimon for almost an hour and a half. She was annoyed that the information she received about it's location wasn't accurate, Alice's dog's nose was wrong once again and she was currently cursing that stupid dog's name as she currently felt cold and wet. Finally she saw Renamon run into an ally between some buildings, she muttered to herself "Gotcha ya" as she ran to join Renaman for the fight.
As she entered the ally she could see the digimon, appearing to be a flaming cat with claws, she brought her D-Arc up to identify what it was "Lynxmon, armored digimon, special attacks are Howling Buster and Wild Nail Claws." She smirked, she knew this would be no problem for Renamon.
She finally gave Renamon the command to attack "Renamon walk all over him." as she said this Renamon lept from the shadows finally revealing her beautiful and graceful form. To anyone else Renamon looked like a yellow fox with purple gloves on, but Rika knew her she was one powerful digimon who could defeat anyone.
Renamon wasted no time shouting out her attack "Power Paw" as she hoped to hit Lynxmon, the digimon was ready and attacked back with it's own attack "Wild Nail Claws" both attacks deflected each other as the rain continued to fall.
Rika smirked, she knew this would be fun. Quickly she reached to her side opening her card holder on her belt and taking out a card from the digimon card game, she slashed it through her D-Arc quickly announcing "Digimodify, Speed activate" she watched as Renamon grew faster quickly punching the digimon a few times.
Rika was shocked however to see that the Lynxmon barely felt a thing. "Damn I forgot armored digimon are more durable then normal champions and rookies."
As she watched the battle trying to think of a strategy she couldn't help but wonder why the rogue digimon never simply tried to attack her, since they had to know she was the source of Renamon's power.
She pushed that thought out of her head as she watched Renamon slowly getting tired. Renamon appeared at her side, looking at her saying "Rika stop daydreaming, we need to beat him now if we don't want him getting away."
Rika sighed knowing her partner was right. "Ok Renamon you ready we'll take him down in one shot." She pulled two cards out of her card holder as Renamon got ready to deliver a fatal blow. "Digimodify Power and Targeting activate." Rika watched as her partner now powered up got into her stance to deliver the final attack
Renamon yelled her signature attack "Diamond Storm"
As Rika watched the glowing diamonds raining down onto the poor digimon she smirked knowing that the digimon received a direct hit. She turned her back on the battle, believing it was over, not bothering to look back commenting "Time to go Renamon, I'm tired and I need to get dry." Renamon turned as well listening to her tamers command.
Neither noticed the flamed rising up as a shout came "Howling Buster" Renamon reacted quickly bracing herself for the attack however she realized too late that the attack wasn't meant for her, She watched as the attack was about to be sent towards her partner, time almost stopped as she saw Rika turning horror in her eyes, however to both of their surprises they heard another shout "Pyro Sphere" Another fireball from seemingly out of nowhere came and deleted the Lynxmon.
Both Rika and Renamon turned seeing a red dinosaur looking digimon, the mouth glowing after using it's attack. This new digimon was almost 6 feet tall with long claws and black markings all over its body, his ears were odd, resembling bat wings and the eyes were yellow with them looking viral. The thing that stood out the most was the strange back symbol on it's chest, it looked like a cross between some triangles and the biohazard symbol, Rika wasn't sure if it was friendly or where it came from, but all she knew was it took her and Renamon's kill.
Renamon was ready for a fight when all of the sudden the digimon seemingly calmed down, that was when they saw another figure emerge from the shadows walking towards the battlefield.
They realized that the figure was human, thankfully not another digimon, the human was wearing a white leather jacket with a red hood on the back, with other red markings on the shoulders and elbows, the human was even wearing white pants with once again red markings on the knees and the bottoms of the pants, complete with red combat boots with gold lining, Rika could make out white goggles with red tinted lens hanging at the person's neck.
Finally she say a crimson colored D-Arc hanging on his belt,The device was strange because where there is usually white on hers there was crimson, and for the ring it was gold with a strange language on the ring, at this point she knew this person was the digimons tamer.
This person was tall, taller than the digimon by a couple of inches making him possibly 6'2 almost a head taller than her, Rika could finally make out a face, this person was a man, probably about her age, she could see brown hair escaping from the hood. He was handsome and the most striking part about him were the piercing red eyes he had, that Rika could see were filled with pain and mystery.
Now any normal girl would of swooned over this seeming knight in shining armor saving them, but not Rika no she was mad about him taking her victory, she was even more mad at this new tamer not even paying attention to her. It was then she decided to march up to him and get in his face and yell "Hey you took my win, don't you have any decency."
The man continued to ignore her, scanning the battlefield almost like he was looking for something. She continued to grow even angrier "I'm talking to you, don't you know when someone talks to you, you're supposed to respond."
Once again she was met with silence and even worse, he began to walk away the digimon following him. She was about as angry as she could get, this guy took her fight and ignored her. She charged right at him putting her hand on his shoulder and forcefully turning him around. Renamon and the other digimon both got set into a fighting position, both knowing what could potentially come, as the new tamer lowered his head to meet Rika's stare, Rika now coming face to face with him and now seeing him up close, she could admit he was handsome, he had a look of annoyance on his face finally saying in a calm and commanding voice "What do you want."
Rika looked at him like she wanted to kill him, was he stupid or something not knowing what she had been saying, "Didn't you hear me i said you took my win." The tamer laughed and as he turned around he simply said "I saved your ass you should be thanking me."
Rika was almost seeing red as the tamer walked away with those parting words, she had no idea who he was or when he became a tamer, but she knew one thing, she wanted him dead.
As he walked away from the battle, Takato Matsuki smirked to himself, his loyal partner Guilmon at his side, finally speaking up after what transpired, he simply said to Guilmon "So there are new tamers huh, well I guess our nights just got a little bit more crazy."
He laughed a bit as he disappeared into the shadows, the night ended not realizing that destiny had brought him together with that girl and neither realized what they were about to go through together as dawn was slowly setting into the large city.
