Digimon Explorers: Rewritten
By: Aubrie1234
Dear Readers, this is the rewrite I was telling you guys about. I hope you like it.
Lots of things start off with legends. Well, this legend right here is one of the most important. It tells a story that could change the lives of everyone everywhere. It begins with the birth of the Digital World. Yes, I said Digital World, because all the worlds were together at one time. At the same time, its protector and the first digimon ever was born. It was a Mega-level known as Wolfmon; he was a pure white wolf that only had one purpose: to protect the Digital World. He also had eternal life to watch over the growing world.
He founded the powers of digimon that eventually became their families: Dragon, Beast, Machine/Mutant, Insect/Plant, Holy, Dark, Bird, and Aquan; he founded their attributes: Vaccine, Virus, Data, Free, and Variable. He also brought the first digimon for each attribute and family into the world by using the extra data left over from the creation of the Digital World. He knew these digimon would one day populate the entire world.
He also knew that darkness was coming. He knew that if he was ever defeated by it, the Digital World would be in peril. That was why he created a digital human known as Gennai to help him gather forces to protect the world. Wolfmon, Gennai, and the good digimon held off the darkness for quite a long time after that. But, the darkness wouldn't stay down.
Unfortunately for them, Gennai and Wolfmon were both getting older. Wolfmon loved his friend and never wanted him to die, but his power he had used all that time ago was nearly gone. He summoned what he had left and did two things: he gave Gennai eternal life in hopes of him leading on the fight, and he created the Crests. There were many, each representing a human aspect; however, the darkness didn't want the Crests to fall into the hands of Gennai and the defenders of light. It tried many raids in hopes of destroying them, but they weren't successful. They did do one thing, though; many of the Crests were lost, and they became known as the Lost Crests. That's another legend for another time, though.
The remaining crests were the weakest out of all the crests Wolfmon had created, but they were the only ones left. Courage, Light, Friendship, Knowledge, Reliability, Hope, Love, Kindness, Sincerity, Miracles, and Fate were the remaining 11 crests, and they were the Digital World's last hope if it ever came to the point where the darkness grew too strong. Wolfmon hoped that it wouldn't happen, but he was wrong.
The darkness knew there was a protector from the start; they wanted Wolfmon gone because, without him, who could the defenders believe in to lead and fight the darkness? They all loved Gennai, but they couldn't imagine their lives without their protector. The darkness' attacks had all been aimed at either Wolfmon, Gennai, or the Crests, but after the creation of the Crests, they soon found a new goal. The Crests had taken away Wolfmon's power and now he was weak. He was planning to go into a deep sleep to recharge his powers at a secluded location, they learned. Before, his power kept the darkness from going anywhere near him. But, without his powers, it gave them the chance to try out a power they hadn't been able to use before.
Wolfmon's escort was destroyed, but not without a major fight. It gave the darkness a big blow, but not as big as what it was planning to do to the Light. They captured Wolfmon and infected him with darkness, turning him into DarkZoomamon. He was now a giant black wolf with giant bat wings, very sharp claws, human-like abilities, a tail that could stretch to any length and act as a third hand, enhanced senses and speed, and new powers. He now had eternal life, and many powers. However, he was also now the biggest threat to the light; his new powers also allowed him to teleport to new worlds and cause discord and destruction, threatening the light there.
Once Gennai found out about this, he was devastated. He knew his best friend was now his enemy, but he didn't want to hurt him. That left him with one option: force DarkZoomamon into the recharging sleep Wolfmon was going to have. However, the defenders weren't able to do this since DarkZoomamon was too powerful. Gennai was forced to use the Crests, all 11, to seal his friend away. Afterwords, Gennai became the new light in the darkness, but not without a price.
During the battle that eventually sealed DarkZoomamon away, DZ (short for DarkZoomamon) used one of his new powers to split the Digital World into several others, linking with different human worlds. What he didn't count on, however, was that each world had a small division of defenders, which would grow into major defenses against other evils. Once he was sealed, he also caused trouble, though it was over time; his darkness infected the land around his prison, turning it into the Darklands, home to the darkness. This was the first legend. This legend now leads up to what is happening in the Digital World of the Crest Digidestined.
Tada! What do you think of the Prologue? R&R, please!
