Yes, I'm back to write another Digimon fic. This time, it's not avatars like I said, but a new series known as 'Digimon Matrix'. It will be sort of a rip-off of all the Digimon anime, plus whatever stuff i create from my mind.. It will have, Ryo Akiyama as Ryou Akiyama (from Tamers), Ryo Takaishi and Kai Kamiya as themselves (from my as-yet unwritten Digimon 02 Xtreme fic), Takeru 'TK' Takaishi and Hikari 'Kari' Yagami as themselves (from Digimon 02), and also Izumi Orimoto as Izumi 'Natalie' Orimoto (from frontier). Couples? Takari definitely. Who does Izumi pair up with? I'm not telling...yet. Note: I know next to nothing about Izumi (from now on she'll be called Natalie) except for how she spirit evolves, who she evolves to, and what she looks like. Note: All shirts in this story are short-sleeved unless otherwise stated.

Everyone is 14 here, except Ryou who just turned 15.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot: Spoiler warning; but think of it as a preview of what is to come in Frontier.

Digimon Matrix : Episode 1

The Council Complete; Matrix Activate!

~~~Akiyama Residence, Ryou's room~~~

Ryou sat on his bed and looked up at the stars. Someday, he thought. I will find Zeed. I will travel to your dimension. Till we meet again, Ken, and Tai. Ryou was a dimension-warper; a time traveler, he had journeyed in the Digimon world with Tai, and they were the same age then, but he had later became Ken's best friend; he was the same age as Ken as well. Now he was a Tamer, and Monodramon was his 'tamed one'; his Digimon partner as Ken put it.

I will find Zeed.

~~~Somewhere else~~~

Izumi 'Natalie' Orimoto sat on her bed and looked up at the stars. She thought about many things, like that guy dressed in blue, about her Spirit Evolution into Faeriemon (correct spelling Fairymon, but Faeriemon is just so it sounds more mature...you'll get it later). She lay down on her bed and looked at her D-Scan thoughtfully. Maybe there's more to me just Spirit Evolving into Faeriemon. Maybe there are other people too... and thus she drifted off into other assorted thoughts.

~~~In the quite distant future (When TK and Kari have kids), Takaishi Residence~~~

Ryo considered his DX. The others who had the DX held it like a Digivice-type, but he was the only one who wore the thing on his arm. He sat and contemplated about many things; about Zeed, about Ryou Akiyama, about 14-year-old TK and Kari, and other sorts of stuff you would think about if you were a digidestined, you traveled back in time to when your parents were your age, and had an adventure with them. Kai (who came over for fun) was sitting in front of the VR-vision, watching some old classic called 'Star Wars'.

"I sense a disturbance in the force..." The VR-vision blared out.

"And I sense a disturbance in the time-space continuum. Something big is going to happen, but I promise you have not seen the last of Ryo Takaishi, TK, Kari and Ryou..."

~~~Back to somewhat modern-day Odaiba, the Park~~~

"It's beautiful isn't it TK?" Kari said, sitting on the bench and staring into the multitude of stars above her.

"Uh yeah...you're really pretty tonight..." TK said dreamily. Kari gave him a mock glare. "What? Oh um, yeah, the stars are nice too."

Kari shook her head and laughed. Boys. She thought, admiring a particularly bright star which reminded her of her Angel Digimon. And of course, of TK's angel Digimon, and also of TK. She looked over at him, but he was staring at something in the sky. TK stood up subconsciously.

"TK what's wrong?" Kari asked, standing up. TK pointed at a cluster of stars. Normally it would have been quite normal, except for the fact that there was one large star in the middle, with six stars flying around it, like some warped representation of the atomic structure.

~~~Omniscient view~~~

The star in the middle glowed brightly. The six stars around it started to fly around it in a 3-dimensional orbit. They flew quicker and quicker, and the star grew brighter and brighter, before there was a bright flash of light. Two stars flew into Odaiba Park. The light engulfed the park, and when the light died down, TK and Kari were not there...

Two stars flew at Odaiba, but suddenly warped forward in time a few decades. The stars crashed into the Takaishi living room. No-one was hurt, but no-one knew where Ryo and Kai went...

The other two stars also warped in time and space. One warped into Izumi's bedroom, the other into Ryou's bedroom. When the light died down the two teenagers were not there.

But nobody knew, for time, in the Real World, had stopped.

~~~Floating in Space~~~

"TK! Where are we?" Kari asked worriedly, clutching TK close to her. They were floating in space, yet they did not die for lack of oxygen. In fact, they seemed to be breathing quite normally.

"HEY TK! OVER HERE!" Kai yelled from above them. TK reached out to Kai, and he began to move towards Kai. "You learn quickly." Kai smiled at TK.

"Ryou?" "Ryo! "Dude!" "Sweet!" Ryo greeted Ryou similarly. They did a show of greeting each other as loudly and being as attention-seeking as possible for two teenagers floating in the void of space. After that, they went through the whole cool complicated handshake-thingy. It was then that Kari noticed two things. One, that Ryo looked almost like Ryou, and two, a girl dressed in light-purple/magenta floating around, looking out-of-place. Kari moved towards the girl.

"Hello. I am Hikari Kamiya, but call me Kari."

"Hi! I'm Izumi Orimoto, but call me Natalie. Do you know how I came here?"

"We don't even know where this place is." Ryo and Ryou floated towards Kari and Natalie, as did TK and Kai.

"As a matter of fact, we do know where this place is. Oh um, at least those whose names start with 'R-Y-O'." Ryo said somewhat arrogantly. "That means me and him." Ryou gestured.

"Ok, so where are we?" Kari inquired.

"We are floating in what you may call the Digimon World control room. Here is the most basic area of the Digiworld." Ryo explained. "And that thing up that would be Zeed, the supercomputer who runs the digimon world, I think." Ryou pointed at a large floating white matrix ball thingy, which everyone identified as the larger star. It rotated itself, and everyone could see a flawless white ball with wires running all over it.

"Zeed=Moon=Milleniummon at your service, Ryou Akiyama. Good to see you again, Ryo Takaishi." 'Zeed' answered in a robotic voice. "Why have you brought us here?" Ryo asked.

"The Digiworld is in trouble again. You all have been chosen to save it. But this time, ways of fighting Digimon will be more unexpected that you think. But first, bring out your D3's, DX's, D-Arc and D-Scan please." Zeed instructed. The assembled Digidestined, Tamer and Frontier-Character complied. "Stand around me in a ring and point it at me." The teenagers complied.

"Beginning matrix transformation..." There was a bright glow around their Digimon devices. When the light subsided, everyone was holding what looked like a cross between a D-Scan, a D-3 and a D-Arc, except it was in the form of a watch-device. Everyone had a differently-colored watch. TK's was green/yellow, Kari's was pink/white, Kai's was gray/crimson red, Ryou's was platinum/silver (which really did not look very different), Ryo's was blue/gold, and Natalie's was light-purple and magenta.

"Heh. We look like Power Rangers with these colored watch thingies." Kai commented.

"Well, it's morphing time then." Ryo replied, earning a laugh from the small crowd. They put on their watches. As soon as they did, their clothes transformed into color-coded versions and they each gained a color-tinted semi-translucent visor thingy which managed to float so that it did not touch the body, but acted as a pair of spectacles for the group.

Ryou had a silvery-gray visor. He wore a dark gray shirt with brown cargo pants and a red jacket tied around his waist to look cool. He had white sneakers, with a single red stripe on either shoe, and had a metallic armguard on his right arm and a metallic shoulder plate on his left shoulder. Ryou, being the oldest and having the most experience with Zeed (he actually introduced Zeed to Ryo), became the unofficial leader unanimously.

Kai wore a red shirt with gray designs on it. He wore a pair of black cargo pants and dark-crimson goggles around his neck. Where it was customary for people to wear goggles on their eyes when they were swimming, and customary for the leader of the digidestined to wear it as a sort of hair-band (even if their hair wasn't big enough to challenge the Dragonball Z people), Kai was very different, as he was the type who would rather let someone else lead. He had a gray visor, in a darker shade, with gray sneakers.

TK, being TK, bearer of the yellow crest of hope, wore a plain yellow shirt . He wore a green jacket over it (unbuttoned) with black fingerless gloves, and faded khaki bermudas with green trainers. He wore his fisherman's hat covering his messy hair, and a light yellow visor. Kari, being Kari, bearer of the pink crest of hope, looked like Natalie's twin, because pink and light-purple were so alike. Kari wore a white shirt with a pink vest over it, with pink fingerless gloves and a faded khaki knee-length skirt with pink tennis shoes. She had a pink visor.

Natalie wore a light-purple cap which covered most of her hair. She wore a short magenta shirt which exposed her belly button, and a light-purple vest/jacket which she wore over it (it was not 'closable', it would flap in the wind). She wore a light-purple skirt which almost reached her knee, and light-purple tennis shoes. She had a light-purple visor. (yes I know I'm going overboard with the light-purple stuff, but hey! that's the only color I've seen her in.)

Ryo, being Ryo the main star of all the fanfics (duh), wore a dark-green shirt. He wore a blue/brown reversible jacket around his waist, with brown cargo pants and white trainers with a blue stripe. He had a pair of yellow fingerless gloves. He also had an extra visor (which he kept) which was different from the others; it looked like a cross between Faeriemon's and Sylphimon's tech-visor thingies, in addition to his 'built-in' yellowish gold translucent visor.

The group admired themselves and their new fashion for a while, before Zeed interrupted them.

"Now that you look good, you must do good. The Digiworld is being over-run by evil Digimon again. This time they are being controlled by two gods who I cannot tell you about. Your new D-Matrix will, once you shout Matrix Activate and press the smaller glowing button, allow you to transform into a sort of Digimon, which will be like a human-Digimon fusion, which is at the champion stage, which you may remain in as long as you want, or you may turn back into your current human forms.

"I know it is insufficient to combat an army of Digimon at only Champion level, but since your Digimon are not here, and you cannot utilize the human spirits to spirit evolve, you will have to fight some battles at Champion stage. But do not fear, if need may be, you may press the larger glowing button. The Matrix will then energize and you will progress past the Ultimate and Mega stage to the Hybrid stage. There you are as powerful as an Ultra.

"That is not the end of your evolutions, I believe by the end of all this you shall be worthy Masters. But for the while, Ryou will explain the difference between the Hybrid stage and the Champion-Fusion stage."

As soon as Zeed=Moon=Milleniummon finished speaking, they found themselves in a forest, in front of Primary Village. Ryou could not put into words the difference between Hybrid and Champion-Fusion stage, so they just walked through Primary Village. "Hey, anyone know the quickest way to get ambushed by an evil Digimon?"

"Sure, just..." Ryo was interrupted by Natalie screaming. A swarm of Hornetmon and two large DinoBeemon were descending from the sky and firing their poisonous stings.

"Matrix Activate!" Ryo and Ryou said simultaneously, hitting the button at the same time. Ryou transformed into Neomon, which looked enough like a boy to resemble Ryou, but it looked like a young Justimon. Neomon was purple, with an indescribable cool-looking head, muscles showing when he flexed, and a metallic arm. Ryo transformed into Heromon, which looked like what would happen if a teenage Angemon wore Magnamon armour. Simply put: He looked like an angel-boy in incomplete golden armour. The oversized boots which reached to his knees, and the gauntlets which reached to his elbow gave him an edge in melee combat, not to mention make him look bigger and more powerful.

"This is cool man!" Heromon flew up at the flying bugs as a gold streak. He quickly punched and kicked with his gold armour, knocking some of them out. Neomon raised his metallic arm, reconfigured it into a rifle, and shot at the fleeing bugs. Kai went to calm Natalie.

"Matrix Activate!" TK turned into Celestialmon M, while Kari turned into Celestialmon F. They looked enough like normal humans, but with wings, a very bright holy aura and a sword/spear respectively, they looked set to destroy the bugs. TK flew up and slashed the bugs, while Kari threw her unending supply of spears.

"Matrix Activate!" Kai turned into a large Draconian; a dragon-human. He was now taller than the others, with gray-scaled skin, dragon claws, talons and head. He reached out and slashed at the bugs trying to attack Natalie.

"Matrix Activate!" Natalie turned into Spritemon, a younger version of Faeriemon. She looked like a girl dressed in a somewhat revealing battle costume (light purple), with 4 faerie wings and gloves/boots with faerie wings on it. She flew into the sky and released faerie dust, which knocked out some of the bugs. One of the DinoBeemon descended upon her and grabbed her with two of its legs. Spritemon screamed loudly. The other DinoBeemon fired its stinger, barely missing Celestialmon F (Kari's) heart, but it left a deep gash in her shoulder. She began to bleed.

"Ryou! Kai! Take care of Kari!" TK yelled, flying next to Ryo. The two fumed with rage at the DinoBeemon which had hurt the ones which they were too shy to show affections for. The Matrix energized.

"Celestialmon M, Ultra Matrix Activate!" Celestialmon turned into a large glowing ball of energy, which reshaped itself into a large angel reminiscent of Seraphimon. However, this Seraphimon was much larger, with 12 wings, and white Omega armour. The 12 wings moved to form a sort of X. "Omni Seraphimon!" Omni Seraphimon was like a 19-year-old version of Celestialmon M, but with more armour, more wings and a heck load more firepower.

"Heromon, Ultra Matrix Activate!" Heromon's gold armour flew off him as golden balls of energy, reminiscent of the stars flying around Zeed=Moon=Milleniummon much earlier. Heromon reshaped himself into a large angel, with only two large wings. The gold armour reattached itself, but this time it only covered the torso, head, arms and legs. "Angel Titanmon!" If you removed Angel Titanmon's helm, you would see a 19-year-old version of Heromon's face.

The DinoBeemon holding Spritemon nearly dropped her after seeing Angel Titanmon stare at it like that. Thankfully, it didn't. Angel Titanmon flew at him. grabbed Spritemon, knocked one of DinoBeemon's tooth out, and placed Spritemon on the floor. Spritemon was as tall as a normal human girl, but Angel Titanmon was 3 stories tall. Angel Titanmon turned to pummel the DinoBeemon again, but it fled...straight into Ryou's rifle rounds. It immediately self-deleted.

TK, being wholeheartedly devoted to Kari and all that, as Omni Seraphimon, smashed a Heaven's Knuckle into DinoBeemon's abdomen. It immediately self-deleted, and TK dropped back to TK the human as he ran towards Kari, lying on the ground. The remaining Hornetmon flew off, and the Human-Digimon Champions hovered around the two.

"Kari...are you alright?" TK asked, holding Kari close to him in his arms. "Aww..." Natalie gushed. Kari opened her eyes to look at TK, then gave a weak smile and nodded. "Yes, I'm all...right..." Kari fainted. It was then that TK noticed the gaping wound on her left shoulder, where blood was flowing rapidly. "Kari...you're bleeding....Kari! Kari! KARI!!!" TK's last yell echoed throughout the forest, and for a moment all the virus Digimon were sorry for what they did. For a moment.

"Hey cool it man, we ain't here for nothing. Spritemon, will you please stop the bleeding?" Spritemon nodded. She hovered above Kari and flapped her wings gently. A thin mist of pink fairy dust covered Kari, and the bleeding stopped almost immediately. But still there was a large scar on Kari's shoulder, and she still had not regained consciousness.

"All those allergic to feathers please move away." Angel Titanmon flew high into the air, then flapped his huge wings once. A small storm of feathers erupted, and the feathers started flying towards Kari. "ANGEL WINGS!" The feathers turned into glowing blue bolts of energy, which hit Kari. Soon, Kari had a light blue glow around her. As the blue glow faded, Kari opened her eyes again. "Boy, you guys should seriously go join ER." Kai joked.

"TK, don't worry, I'm alright now." Kari reassured TK, who seemed distress at the seemingly impending lost of his girlfriend(...um I mean uh, best friend. Yeah.) Everyone else dropped back into human stage. "TK, I think it would be wise for us to find a place where we can get some rest. It's going to be dark soon, and I think we all deserve it." TK nodded. "Ok, follow me!" Ryou led the group towards where he remembered was a Digimon Inn.

Ryo slowed down his steps until he could see the rest of the group. Ryou was in front as the unofficial 'Fearless Leader', with Kai next to him trying to tease TK. TK had insisted on carrying Kari, even though Kari had disagreed. Kari was now riding piggy-back on TK, who was on the verge of starting to pant. Where's Natalie? He thought. He turned to see Natalie a few steps behind him. "Was there something you wanted to tell me?" He asked. Natalie nodded.

"I'd just like to say thank you, for rescuing me like the Heromon you were." Ryo smiled at her joke, but was absolutely shocked when she leaned forward, gave him a peck on the cheek, then ran off, blushing, towards the rest of the group. Ryo just stood there for a while.

You know, Ryo, I seriously think she likes you. Ryo told himself. Nah, she just did that to thank me. She just returned from Italy, so that's probably the reason she's so...free with her kisses. Yeah, that must be it. Ryo tried not to believe that she liked him, for he had been betrayed before. But deep down inside, he kinda liked it. Ryo shook himself out of these thoughts and ran to join the group.

~~~End of Story~~~

Author's Comments: Ah, finally, my brainchild. My masterpiece. My Hopes and Light for the future. If this doesn't work I'll have to go back to writing scripts :P. Whatever. Please Read and Review!

Digi-Matrix Analyzer:

Takeru TK Takaishi (Green/Yellow)

Champion-Fusion form: Celestialmon M
Variable-Vaccine Angel-type
Attacks: Holy Blade, Celestial Shine
This angel might be young, but he is powerful enough to take down an Ultimate!

Hybrid-Ultra form: Omni Seraphimon
Variable-Vaccine Ancient Seraphim-type
Attacks: Heaven's Might, Omni Cannon
A powerful combination! The devastating power of Omnimon and Seraphimon put together can take down any Ultra!

***

Champion-Fusion Stage: Achieved when a human activates the Matrix. May remain in this stage for as long as necessary. The resultant fusion Digimon looks like a 13-14 year old human. Basically the activated Matrix gives a special type of 'armour' to the human, which, when worn, gives the human Digimon-like abilities.

Hybrid-Ultra Stage: 1 stage up from Mega. Achieved when the Ultra Matrix is energized by one in the Champion-Fusion stage. Can remain in this for as long as your energy can take, which is no more than 10 minutes the first time. The resultant Digimon may look like either a 19 year old human in special armour, or a 19-year-old humanoid Digimon. The Champion-Fusion Human-Digimon 'digivolves' to this stage. At this stage, it is very powerful, but not powerful enough to hold off an army of Champions.
