A:N Alright, so this is going to be my first Digimon world fanfiction. I actually have three stories planned, one biased around the original anime's adventures on file island, albeit with an all original cast and new plot twist, the other being a novelization of Digimon story Cyber Sleuth. Anyways, I will say that this story is based on the original Digimon World game for the PlayStation one. Enjoy!
Oh, and before I forget, I do not own Digimon! Enjoy!
It seemed like an excellent early fall day, with the sun shining gently and the cool breeze flattering gently. It ruffled the skirt and hair of a young thirteen year old girl, her blue mini-skirt flowing gently before landing softly against her legs. She brushed her red hair out of her eyes before blinking to reveal a brilliant green gaze scanning across the park. Her Blue skirt was complimented by her blue sleeveless tee-shirt, and white tennis shows. Ironically her waist length red hair contrasted her blue attire, though she actually liked the contrast herself.
Hanoashi glanced at her watch, and sighed, staring at the somewhat simplistic timepiece. Her was almost all silver, except for the gold shield around the watch hinges, and the arms of the watch consisted of two small silver wire bands about four or five millimeters wide each, connected to each bands by small oval-0like connector boxes. The two arms connect to each other via a simplistic locking mechanism, which was gold in color.
"I don't mind them being late, but it's still kinda of embarrassing how I'm always the first one here," she whispered to herself. Sighing she sat down on one of the benches, placing her hands in her laps and occasionally glancing around so that no one snick up behind her.
About fifteen minuets later one of the three friends she was waiting on sat down beside her. He had short Brown ahir with blue eyes, and wore a simplistic white tee and jeans. "Hey Hanoashi, ready for the big match?" He asked excitedly, knowing how interested she was in the Digimon game.
She nodded. "Yes." She then let out a sigh. "I can't wait to start my battles too, albeit my father hasn't said much about getting me the key-chain yet."
Hanoashi's father struggled to pay the bills every since her mother died and the factory he'd work in closed down. He now works as a janitor, and while he was more than willing to use what he'd saved up to keep Hanoashi is good clothes and such, Extras where few and far between. With the exception of her art supplies, something her father insisted she learn, her main hobbies had to be fulfilled by buying used things, so while other kids where playing Playstation and reading the newest best sellers, she was stuck reading books and playing old Famicon games.
"Don't worry, it's been abut four months since you asked, right?" His friend asked, causing Hanoashi to nod. Her father usually bought her a few things once every four months, rather than on her birthday or Christmas. It all began about four years ago when her father explained the finical situation to her, and explained she could receive her gifts once a year or have it spread out once every four months. She chose once every four months.
"I kinda think he's decided to buy it, though, he has been smiling a bit more lately, though that could be my grades or art work improving." she admitted. "You can never tell with him, that's kinda one of the things I like about dad, he's always full of surprises.
"Yeah." He suddenly glanced away, blushing.
"What's wrong?" Hanoashi asked, tipping her head, confused.
"It's just... They've gotten bigger Hanoashi."
The red head blushed profusely as she realized what he had meant."Ge...geze. You... you don't have to put it that... that way." she managed to get out. Still, this feeling... although it's a tad uncomfortable, it feels good when Pike does it. Anyone else I just want to slap. She had no idea what was going on with her, but she seemed to like it a bit.
"An...any way, of course it... it got big...bigger." She continued. "These... these things don't just gr...grow large overnight."
"Sorry. I... I shouldn't have mentioned it." He glanced away, casting his eyes down.
"No... no... it's fine, I forgive you." Hanoashi rebutted. "Anyways, You should be preparing for your fight right about now."
He glanced up, noticing his friend arriving. "I'll make it up to you, I promise," He whispered before greeting his friend. Hanoashi tipped her head. Yo...you don't have to make it up to me Pike, it a common mistake, she thought, rising up and forgetting about the embarrassing moment as her friends began bickering over weather Metal-Greymon and Metal-Mamemon was stronger.
"Hey! Oh, your here." Hanoashi glanced over to see her younger cousin, Kazin, run over. "Wow! Metal -Greymon and Metal-Mamemon!"
"We'll see who wins now!" Hanoashi nearly jumped as Heather spoke, squeezing in as the match began. As she watched the statistics of the match, she imagined how the battle would fan out had they been watching an actual fight.
Images of a valley battlefield flooded her vision. A Metal Ball with an arm cannon and feet rushed in toward a Pi-pedal orange dinosaur looking creator, who had a metal chest and arm claw. The orange dino simply swatted the metal ball creature to the side. In retaliation, the metal ball creature aimed it's cannon at the dino firing, hitting the dino square of it's right shoulder. However, to it's horror, the orange dino's chest opened up, and two misses fired out. As brave as the little tike may have been, there wasn't much that could stand up to Gega-destroyer.
She snapped out of her dream as she match was ending, Metal-mamemon losing by a narrow margin. "Good game," Pike said, bowing slightly in defeat."
"I'll be honest Pike, you've raised that Metal Mamemon of your's quite well. Let's have a rematch next week, alright?"
"Your on, bro!"
Hanoashi smiled as her friends cheered, offering her own praise to both Pike and his friend. However, her mind went back to that weird dream she had last night.
13 hours Earlier:
Hanoashi found herself in a dark area, seemingly floating in space. "Am I dead?" She asked loudly. Please don't let it be that! She begged silently. I...I haven't enjoyed life long enough yet to be content to die, not that... A voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Um... no, you're not dead." She glanced up to see that the voice which spoke to her seemed to come from a Bypetal humanoid being. He seemed a tad bit old, and looked a bit like an old shaggy dog. He held a cane which looked like it ended in a kind of puppy's paw.
"Then... where am I?" she asked, gazing at him gently. She was scared, but calm at the same time. And curious. "What do you want from me?"
"Don't worry, I'm just here to ask you some questions." He explained softly.
"Oh... um okay then... um..."
"Jijimon." He then paused. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah, I'm ready." Man, this is kinda creeping me out, yet somehow I don't think this Jijimon is dangerous. Then again, I should be careful with him.
"First off, what is your name?"
"My name is Hanoashi," she replied, smiling slightly before bowing.
"Hm... a good name, and polite too." Jijimon mused before chuckling, causing her to blush gently. "Alright, do you have a Digivice?"
"Um, no I don't."
"Okay then, do you like day or night better?"
"Day. I can't stand to not be able to see things around me. Plus, though interesting, the night is often scary for me." She confessed.
"Okay, last question, do you have friends?"
"Yeah, His name is Pike. He's really into Digimon and video games. Sometimes I'll come over and play the Playstation together, as well."
Jijimon nodded. "Before I go, what would you name your Digimon?"
"Balto." She said that without hesitation.
"Hm... excellent. Well, that's all of the questions I have for now. I'll be seeing you soon."
13 hours 15 minuets later:
"Hey! Hanoashi, you there?" Her gaze jolted up as she glanced around, seeing Pike poke her. "We need to go, there's been an acidetend the the police want us to go home while they investigate."
Hanoashi glanced up, realizing what had just happened. Two carsd had rammed into each other, sending glass flying into the park. It had been sheer luck that no one had been in that area at the time, and she let out a shutter at how close she could have been seriously injured. "Okay," she replied shaky.
She allowed Pike to walk her home, and the two entered the apartment together. "Thanks for coming over. That crash really did scare me," she confessed.
" No problem buddy, anything for you," He smiled. "If you'd like, I could stay a while." Hanoashi perked up at this, smiling at him. "Yeah, I could use the company." she replied, sitting down on the couch, placing her hands in her lap once again.
"Let me cook you something." He offered and she nodded sheepishly as her tummy growled. They ended up having rice that day, mixed with with some butter and spices.
"This is really good," she complimented though her voice was sad.
"Thanks," he beamed, before noticing the sadness in her voice. "Is something wrong?" he asked, tipping his head.
"N...no, it's just... I'm worried about those people involved in the crash, and I'm guessing I'm a bit shook up to how close we where sitting only thirty minuets earlier."
"Hey, don't worry too much about it, I'm sure they are getting the best treatment they can. Besides, we didn't get injured, so we should be glad about that, right?"
"Yeah." She brightened up, but it was a farce gesture. It just reminds me too much of mother, she realized with a jolt. Her mother had also died in a car crash when she was just six years old. What shook her even worse is that she had little memories of her mother, which sometimes she even cried at night at how little she truly got to know her mother before she died.
After helping to wash the plates, they decided to play some Mario Bros together, and thus headed to Hanoashi's room. "I really like your... um... what's that?" Hanoashi rusghed over to her where her Famicon was, picking up something new. "It's a Digimon key-chain!" She explained excitedly, before turning it on.
"Yes, looks like you finally got on...gah!" He jumped back as a much more advanced Koromon began to gibber.
"Look, he's talking," Hanoashi cooed gently. "Kinda gibberish though."
"Um Hanoashi... what's happening to us?" he began. Hanoashi gazed up at him to see his body turning into a wireframe one. "Gah," shouted, dropping the device before discovering that her body was turning into a body frail as well.
"Wa...wa...wahhhhhhhhhh!" She began to pass out as her body went through the various light tubes of cyberspace.
