Welcome and salutations, all you digi-fans! I'm glad you decided to read my fic I wrote. I know, your wondering where the story is. But as I continued writing, I noticed things I had altered in the base SL of the show. So I am writing this so points can be clarified, instead of people either flaming me for things that should or should not be able to be done happening, or for timeline alterations. Anyway, on to the explinations!!
Toy Agumon~umm... Rocker?
Yea?
Toy Agumon~Well... We kinda forgot where you put the file.....
::blinks:: You mean, you lost the entire file for the stories intro and explinations?
Toy Agumon~Yea....
::sighs:: Alright. Ladies and Gentleman, were experiencing slight difficulties, so bare with, as I attempt to explain everything off the top of my head....
*BACKGROUND*
1)During the world-tour, the digimon did not get as publicly seen as the shows gives us. The digidetined of the world were able to keep sightings down to a minimal, and those who did see, were dismissed as seeing things.
2)The battle with MaloMyotismon was as epic as it was seen, but once again, assumed to be mass hystaria, since it happened at night, in the real world. There for, digidestined, families of those who knew, and a few select people knew what happened.
3)This is the primary change in the BG technically, for the story, from the ending of 02. There is no 'Digimon across the world' deal. Basically, after the battle with MaloMyotismon, the digidestined still protect the world, knowing that although they have faced invincible odds before, and defeated them, evil could still come about and try things.
*AUTHOR PLOT LINE NOTES*
1) There is a Toy Agumon in this story. ::shakes head at the grinning Toy Agumon muse, behind him:: Anyway, he does not have the appearance of the traditional ones. The normal looks like he was built out of legos, and is multicolored for the vaccine version, and pure grey for the virus version. The one used in this story will be a virus type, but the description is different. for now at least, this Toy Agumon looks like a normal Agumon, save he has grey skin, with a plastic-like feel to it, and purple eyes. I havn't decided if I will make him a unique version, or not, but this is how the one in this story will be described. If you want to know more, I'll show you the site to go to at the end of this.
2) There will be scene's with Gatomon using Nefertimon and Angewomon during this fic. Yes, I have an explination for this. Gatomon, at the end of 02, regained her tail ring, thus allowing her limited uses of Angewomon, but making it so she could not use the digimental or jogress with Hawkmon anymore. However, the digidestined discovered, if she removes her tail ring, which she will normally give it to Hikari when she does, she regains the ability to do both. There for, I will not write in everytime the ring is passed on, but if she is not jogressing or using the armor, she has it on.
3)This story is set 3 years after the end of 02. The original digidestined are starting college or been in it a year or so, being about 18 average years (my apologies, but I am not going to attempt to list all the ages, just add 3 to the age they were in 02, or figure 18, Jou 19, Izzy and Mimi (i think) 17. The 02 team is about 15 in ages now. Iori is 12/13 (I always have trouble remembering his exact age, but for now, it is not a major problem). The new children will be entering high school, or getting close.
4)Finally, I will be using an variety of Japanese and English for this. Most names will be Japanese, but their English dub name will be a sort of nickname (ex. Hikari ~ Kari) that kind of thing. The one digidestined who will not have his dub name be a nickname, is Jyou. For the obvious reason.
5)Digidestined are called this, or called Chosen. Japanese names will be used for digimon, unless the dub makes more sense to use.
Alright I think I covered everything.....
Toy Agumon~Good Job! ^_^
Yea, no thanks to my lovely small little muse, who lost my original file!! ::gives an evil glare::
Toy Agumon~Hey! Is it my fault your computer has folders upon folders, and it is hard shifting through them all?
::grumbles:: stupid muses.... can't argue when their right.... Anyway, folks, enjoy the story!!
Toy Agumon~Wait, you forgot the disclaimer!!
Oh crap! ::starts to fade out:: Idon'towndigimon!! ::and black:: wheww......
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The young man sat at his computer, quietly typing away, as he went through the sign in process to his Internet connection. 'Why is it, this takes forever to login... I swear, I just need to get a freakin cable modem....' He reclined in his chair, brushing the shoulder length brown hair out of his auburn eyes. Tonight, was his night to relax, just sitting in a T-shirt and his shorts, and nothing else, his grey/black flannel tossed over the back of his chair. He smiled softly, watching the computer login and grabbed the mouse, about to turn his Instant Messenger program on, when his computer seemed to freeze on him. "Oh, Bloody thing, don't do this to me tonight.... I know you need an overhaul, but this is getting ridiculous." He clicked his mouse a couple times, before sighing in resignation about his comp seeming to 'die' on him. As his fingers went to his the ALT/CTRL/DLT keys, all at the same time, the screen suddenly shone brightly, actually blinding him for a moment. "What the....!?" HE was cut off, as he felt himself being pulled into the computer, trying to grab at his chair to stop himself, and only succeeding in grabbing a hold of his flannel, to take with him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Koushiro Izumi was sitting at his computer, relaxing, when he noticed a familiar blip going off on the corner of his screen. Clicking on it, a map appeared of the digital world, with a small text reading "Unknown digivice detected entering the Digital World." Izzy tried to track where it would be at, before it was totally in, but the alarm had gone off too late, only allowing him to narrow the area the new Digidestined to be in, to be somewhere in the Western section of Folder. "Better tell the new guys. They can check this out, better then the rest of us." Turning his E-mail on, he quickly typed a to the point message out, sending it to 6 of the new Digidestined, hoping they got there in time, before this new kid was overwhelmed or something.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Groaning, he sat up, rubbing the back of his head. He blinked a moment, looking in his hand, to see his flannel was still tight in his grip, none the worse for wear, after that odd trip. 'Hmm, interesting...' He lowered his arm, as he sat up, looking around at his surroundings. This definitely was not his room in his basement. That was a small basement, with a queen size bed, computer, and barely enough room for everything else he owned. This, was a tropical paradise, so to speak. He stood up, looking at the beautiful foliage, as he slipped his flannel on over his T-shirt. It didn't seem too cold or hot, so this would be the easiest way to keep track of it, in his opinion. He walked to a tree, touching the bark noticing there was something odd about it, but nothing he could place in words. Just a general feeling that it wasn't as natural as the ones around his home.
'Perhaps, I feel asleep, and this is all a really fuzzed up dream?' He smiled softly, jumping up in the air a couple times, trying to fly, without much success. He huffed, and rubbed the back of his head, looking around again. 'OK, definitely not a dream..... Flying is never a problem in my dreams...'
Out of nowhere, a beeping noise cam from his side. He jumped, looking at the waist band of his shorts, finding a small digital device, sort of rounded, like one of those Neo-pets, that was slightly larger then the palm of your hand, and was rounded to fit well. It was a purple shade, with light purple trimming, and a small box screen near the top. The beeping coming from it was in time with a small blip on the screen near the center. Out of nowhere, once again, he felt a weight on his shoulders, pushing him flat on the ground.
"Eric!!!" The thing on his back yelled happily. Whatever it was, it was pulling his hair, sitting on him like this, and seemed genuinely happy, so that boded well. When it finally got off his back, making all kind of happy noises, he could have assumed right then, he had somehow gone instantly insane, to be seeing something like this. In front of him, stood a small Tyrannosaurs Rex, about the height of his thighs, since he stood five foot and eleven inches tall. It had a dull gray shade too it, and had bright purple eyes on the sides of it's head, showing a bright glimmer of intelligence. It's tail wagger slowly behind it, as it appeared to be doing the equivalent of smiling at him, when another sudden realization hit him. 'Pulling my hair?'
Reaching behind him, he felt at the back of his head, feeling his hair, which felt smoother then normal, down, going farther down his back then his hand could stretch at this angle. He turned his head slightly, seeing his hair now came down to his lower back, and was stark white, having no color whatsoever in it anymore. As he was about to wonder how he had suddenly come across a hair growth, the young voice of the mini-dino brought him back to earth, so to speak.
"Wow, Eric, I've been waiting for you, for a long time." Eric blinked again. This little guy knew him? The voice was definitely male, but also young, like a 13 year old or something. "Where have you been, I've been waiting forever!" The small dino walked closer again, smiling, in it's way, as Eric gave his best confused look, since it was absolutely genuine right now.
"Me? You've been waiting for me?" The small Rex nodded. 'wow.... Wonder how long, hope it hasn't been since I was born or something, like in the anime's.... Waiting 16 years doesn't exactly sound like the best time....' "Well, who are you, and why have you been waiting for me, little guy?"
"Me? I'm ToyAgumon, at your service." He gave a small bow, his claw moving in front of him in proper fashion. "And don't you know? Your Chosen! A Digidestined, bonded to me, and here to help keep both our worlds safe. Your world, and the Digi-world." It grinned again, thinking it was the simplest thing in the world.
Eric, however, did not agree, with his digital partner. "Chosen? Protect the world? OK, great, I went insane, and put myself in an anime wonderland.... Pretty soon, dancing girls will come out and probably shower me with lemonade..." He chuckled to himself, starting to laugh when he looked at ToyAgumon's face, showing the same confusion he had shown a few minutes ago. As he finally calmed down, he smiled at the small Tyrannosaurs, and extended his hand. "Well, as you seem to know, my names Eric. Nice to meet you partner." This seemed to make ToyAgumon really happy, although he extended his hand into the air blankly, not having a clue what to do, but happy to hear his partner was already willing to be with him. The teen took the Digimon's hand, shaking it, and smiling, when the Digimon understood and shook back.
Looking around, Eric rubbed his stomach, remembering he had not eaten yet, before he had been pulled into this fantasy world he was in. "Hey, ToyAgumon, you know where we can find some fruit or something to eat? I'm starving." ToyAgumon smiled with a big tooth grin, and nodded. "Yea!! I know where some great fruit is, follow me!" Helping his partner up, the rookie Digimon ran off down the trail, followed by his partner.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
TK yawned softly, stifling it with his hand, as he waited. Being woken up by the emergency e-mail from Izzy, he had gotten dressed, and thrown his hat on, grabbing Patamon, and entering the digital world, before anyone else had yet. Sitting next to a tree, near the Digi-Port, he waited, making sure to stay awake, but letting his partner sleep for now. If they ran into trouble today, he would need it later.
A few minutes later, the Digi-Port opened again, showing Kari in her pink shorts and shirt, her camera around her neck, and Gatomon in her arms. She smiled warmly at TK, and walked over to him, as he stood up.
"Morning, Sleepyhead." She teased, knowing how he felt, but better at covering it. "Yolie and Cody are going to check the Eastern side of area Izzy gave us. And Davis e-mailed me, saying he and Ken would split the Northern and Southern parts between them. So that leaves us together for the Western side." She smiled, glad to be alone with her best friend for once, just the two of them.
TK smiled, for the same reason, besides not seeing Davis flirt with Kari badly, and getting on his nerves. "Yep, together again." He winked, before nudging Patamon, who made a small squeaking noise as he woke up, causing Gatomon to stifle a laugh unsuccessfully. "Rise and shine, Patamon, we need to go."
The three of them quickly explained the situation, getting a quick nod of 'lets go' from the winged Digimon. He landed on the ground, Gatomon jumping next to them, as their respective partners activated their digimentals, evolving them into Pegasusmon and Nefertimon. Climbing onto their partners backs, they each took flight, spreading a little apart, to cover more ground, but staying within good eye sight, for more then one reason.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Eric munched happily on the apple-like fruit, watching his partner eat about three at a time, out of a small pile on the ground, they had made. 'Guess I should be thankful we are NOT home.... I couldn't afford the little guy...' Chuckling at the thought of his aunt and uncle's reactions to him bringing a chibi-tyrano home, he finished the fruit, feeling well full now. Sitting back, he continued listening to the Digimon eat loudly, as he looked at the sky, thinking about his current predicament.
While finding food, ToyAgumon had tried telling him everything he could, to his inquiries, wanting to help his partner get on his feet fast, so he wouldn't have too much trouble. From what he got of it, He was a Chosen, a Digidestined, who was bonded to a Digimon, the name for the creatures of this world, like ToyAgumon, and was meant to help save both worlds, and keep them safe. How he was supposed to save the world when everything was still a mystery? Of course, so was the device he had since he had gotten here, the only thing his partner knew about it was that it was a digivice. Otherwise, aside from knowing it was important in someway, they were both clueless.
"Hey ToyAgu, you know if there is anyone else like me around? Or anyone, for that matter. I mean, I haven't seen anyone else, aside from you, since I got here." ToyAgumon looked up, with a full mouth, swallowing it all, before trying to talk. "Well, there is the city of Driver, about a day away from here. I stopped there before coming here, feeling you near. That would be the best place to look, since I haven't seen humans before either. I just hope we don't run into any evil Digimon, on the way...."
As if on cue, a sharp scream cut through the spot the Chosen and Digimon has been resting in, coming through the woods. Definitely a female's voice, both of them jumped to their feet, running quickly towards the source. Following after the scream, came an unearthly noise, a mixture of a roar and shrill scream. As they ran a bit more, they finally had something come into view, and almost wish they hadn't.
Next to a tree, was a small Digimon, with two purpleish-blue almost flower-like hands, a stem coming out of each one. It's head had a red top on it, shaped like flower petals laying flat, and petals around it's neck matching the 'hair' petals. It's body was a green, with a small lizard-like tail, and green root feet. It seemed to be cowering, but from what, wasn't visible yet, from the tree line.
As the pair came closer, it finally came into view. A large, preying mantis like creature, easily the height of one of the trees was walking towards the small plantlike Digimon. Eric had already decided they had to be Digimon, creatures like that didn't exist on earth. It has a large mouth, with sharp teeth in it, along with red markings on it's head. It had three insectiod wings on it's back, laying flat since it wasn't flying, and was walking on two pairs of legs, with it's insect butt dragging behind it. The scariest part, though, was the large, sickle hands it had, both obviously sharp from the foliage it was chopping through to reach the smaller Digimon.
"It's a Snimon and a Floramon," Eric turned suddenly, as they both came to a stop close by, as his new friend spoke up. "What did you say, ToyAgu?" "The larger Digimon is a Snimon, a preying mantic Digimon of the Adult level. The one by the tree is a Floramon, a Child level Digimon of the plant variety." Eric turned back around again, seeing the Snimon raise it's sickle hands into the air. "Eric, it's going to attack her!"
Not even thinking, He quickly started sprinting. Over the beating of his heart from the run, he barely heard the insect's voice yell out, "Shadow Sickle!" He bent over, as the Floramon looked from the insect to him, in the split second before Eric grabbed her, holding her in his arms, as he felt an explosion knock him off his feet. He rolled, keeping the small plant Digimon safe, before finally raising back to his knees, seeing the tree she had been cowering by not split down the center, along with part of the ground beneath it.
Blinking a moment, as the realization set in, he felt a tug at his flannel. He looked down, to see the small Floramon pointing to the back to the Snimon, which had found where it's prey had went, and was now resuming the chance. Cursing under his breath, Eric stood up, holding the Plant girl to his chest, about to bolt, when he say a small fireball hit the Snimon in the side of the head. The Snimon didn't seem to notice until two more hit it again. This time it turned around, along with the Chosen, to see ToyAgumon standing in an opening, his mouth partially open, with small flames flickering out of it. Suddenly, the young Digimon opened his mouth wide, another small fireball flying at the Snimon as he yelled "Toy Flame!"
The Snimon blocked the fireball this time, with one sickle, before turning to the new prey, the one that actually fought back. The Insect Digimon raised it's hands, as ToyAgumon fired another toy flame, but even Eric knew he couldn't just stand and take the attack the Snimon had just done. ToyAgumon was on the same level with the Floramon in his arms. But he held his ground, firing his Toy Flame over and over, as the Snimon prepared it's attack again.
"ToyAgumon!" Eric began running forward, hoping to get his partner's attention and make him move. But suddenly, a flash of light came from his side, radiating from the screen of the digivice. He reached down with one hand, as both he and the Floramon looked at the strange device in his hand, wondering what was going on. Just as suddenly, they saw another flash of light, this time from where ToyAgumon was standing, as a sphere of light surrounded him.
"ToyAgumon evolve to...... Deltamon!" the sphere exploded out, as a large blue dinosaur emerged from it, standing easily taller then the Snimon. It's stomach was white, in contrast to the blue skin over it's body, with three circles in a triangle pattern with a line beneath them on his stomach. It still stood on his legs, which now had much larger claws on his toes, but had two tails, both blue half way down, but one ending with metal plating over it, and the other seeming to just finish with bones over it. But the thing that made Eric gasp, was the sight of three dinosaur heads, one blue on it's neck, a metal dino head on the right head, and a skull for the left. As the Chosen and plant Digimon sat in awe, the large Digimon brought all it's heads back, letting a fierce roar from each mouth. It then slowly lowered them evenly, all six eyes leveling on the Snimon, who was just bringing it's arms down quickly in attack.
"Shadow Sickle!" It brought it's blade like arms down and together, an energy beam shaped like the sickles firing from the hands, at the new Digimon, Deltamon. Deltamon, though, simply spun his body quickly, it's two tails smashing into the blast from the side, dissipating it. As it faced the insect again, Deltamon barely had time to bring it's arms up in defense, against the offensive attack of the Snimon. As the sickle-hands came down, Deltamon brought it's mouth-hands up, grabbing each blade in a mouth. For a moment, the two Digimon stood toe to toe, in a test of strength, before the dinosaur Digimon slowly got the advantage, lifting the Snimon off the ground, and throwing it into the air a distance. He held all three mouths open, a ball of energy forming in each one, as the Snimon got it's barring and started flying, quickly turning to return to the fight. As it got half way back from the distance it had been thrown, the balls each shot out of the mouths, aiming to meet a few feet in front of the center head, and then firing a large beam at the insect as Deltamon yelled his attack, "Triplex Force!" The energy beam crashed into the unprepared Snimon, and when the beam had dissipated, it was nowhere to be seen.
Eric stared at the place the large attacking insect had last been, before slowly turning his head to look at Deltamon. 'How did he....' Before his thought finished, Deltamon began to glow once again, shrinking down to the small, gray friendly form of ToyAgumon. Eric blinked, seeing his friend again, and looked down at the Floramon. This time, instead of fear filed eyes greeting his, he was greeted by a sleeping face. He figured she must have fainted during the fight, after ToyAgumon changed. He walked over to where ToyAgumon was, as his partner sat down where he was standing, totally winded.
"OK..." He paused, wanting to not mess this question up. "Simple question, for a complex answer, I know it.... How?" He watched his tired friend closely, wondering what he would do next.
"I evolved. It's called digivolving. It's how a Digimon goes from a baby, to a child, to an Adult, and sometimes, even into a Perfect Digimon." He said the last with a sort of awe in his voice. He had explained the levels of evolution Digimon had. Hatchling, which was fresh from the egg. Then baby, which was the next form up. From there, they evolved into their child form, which was where ToyAgu and the Floramon were at. After that, was becoming an Adult, which that Snimon, and if he was right, Deltamon, were both part of. And for those few Digimon able to survive long enough, and figure out the secret to it, were the ones aloud to evolve into Perfects, who were as much more powerful as compared to an Adult, as an Adult was to a Child. As for anything else, he had said something about legends about Ultimate level Digimon, ones with enough power to do so much destruction, that almost no one could withstand it.
"So, how did you evolve into an Adult, and why did you go back to a child then?"
"I didn't evolve on my own. I felt your power help me evolve."
He blinked. 'My power?' " What do you mean? The digivice activated, when it happened, could that have anything to do with it?" ToyAgumon nodded in response. "So then, when the digivice activates, I can give you the power you need to temporarily evolve into an Adult, in case of trouble then. He thought about it a second, before getting that patented ToyAgu smile and nodding again. "Well, seeing as you seem exhausted and hungry, lets make a camp, find some food, and let this little one sleep for a bit. I want to make sure she's OK, before we leave her." ToyAgumon seemed overjoyed at the thought of food, and nodded quickly at the note about watching the young Floramon, before bounding off, in search of food, leaving his partner to set camp.
Eric chuckled, before walking more into the woods, and making a small camp fire sight, save the fire itself. He set the Floramon leaning against a tree, before setting rocks around the campfire pile of branches, to make sure the grass didn't catch. He sighed, realizing he would need ToyAgu to start the fire, since he knew next to knowing about wilderness survival, really. He glanced back at the small sleeping Digimon, seeing her shivering, as nighttime was just starting to set in the digital world. He removed his flannel, laying it over her like a blanket easily, thanks to her size, before smiling softly, and setting next to the firepit, staring up at the reddening sky, wondering what his fate was supposed to be, with his new introduction to this new life.

::Sighs in relief:: you know, this chapter only took me one night to write? You know how hard it is to write a chapter in one night, with ims going, plus watching your spelling? Very, I'll tell you what. Anyway, go ahead to chapter two, to gain some insight into this new Digidestined who has shown up on the scene.
