It was a crisp winter morning and snow began to fall like sands in an hour glass. The week had started out clear but come Saturday all of Kim's plans were washed away. She had barricaded her room door and covered herself in thick down comforters. "I'm not getting sick, every time I do it turns into an epidemic." Kim said from her bed.
A knock at her room door got her on the defensive but she quickly opened the door. She smiled as Ron rushed in and sat down on her bed, shivering as his body tried to warm up. His nose was as red as a ripe beet and his skin as white as a swan's feathers. She saw that he was cold but the pet naked mole rat in his pocket was half frozen. "You need to get warm or you'll catch hypothermia." She said taking his coat and hat, pushing him under her covers. "Just stay here until you are feeling better; you're a fool to go out in this weather." She sat worried at her desk and began to work on some homework that she had almost neglected.
Meanwhile in a different world six teens were fighting as warriors of their world. A young boy with a pair of goggles and long over coat was stepping around the attack of a creature twice his size and with a bad attitude. "Beleezemon, you are under arrest for the deletion of six Greymon, two Thundermon and a Numemon." The young boy said as he pulled out a device that looked like a cell phone. "You can give up or you can prepare to face the full extent of the law." He shot a piercing gaze at the large black and purple creature and it froze in its track but shook it off with haste.
"I choose to kill you human and take the legendary warrior's fractal code." Beleezemon said pulling out two over sized guns. "Double impact!" It yelled, firing at the boy. Two gigantic bullets barreled down on the boy as his friends were fighting other creatures in the distance.
"Tao! Move it you moron; use your D-tector." A woman with butterfly wings said flying toward the two at her top speed. He stopped when another creature jumped on her back and slammed her to the ground. "No, I'm not going to make it."
Tao jumped into the air and landed on the first bullet and then to the second before a grin spread across his face. "Execute: beast spirit evolution." He called out as a strange visible multi-level code circled his hand. He scanned it with the device he had earlier. The clothes ripped from his body and was replaced with a large, blue, and gold metal armor; he looked like a beetle mixed with a tank and had no way to fly. He had turned into a creature like his friends and was ready to fight. He started to fall fast but he knew he would.
"Electron cannon!" The newly formed creature boomed as a hellish blast of thunder escaped a cannon built into the creatures head. The blast took off Beleezemon's head and deleted his body like a bad computer virus. "Execute: slide evolution, Blitzmon!" His body turned into another beetle but this time a more humanoid one, wings open on the shell of his back and he held out his D-tector. "Evil digimon, be purified by the thunder!." Tao then pulled Beleezemon's fractal code into his D-tector, He pushed a few buttons on the device and random fractal codes exploded and were sent back to the digimon they came from.
"Tempest twist!" a yell echoed through the air. A digimon was sent flying toward Tao but exploded when a large booted foot came through it's chest. "You bastard, I was worried; never go into battle with a digimon in human form." A woman said kicking Tao in his armored backside.
"Motoko I'm sorry, my D-tector is on the fritz; I keep getting stuck in digimon form or I can't transform." He explained. He pressed a sequence of buttons and he was changed back into his human form. "Oh, now you want to work." He shook the device and it gave him a severe shock.
"You should be nicer to it, they are the housing for the legendary warrior's spirits." A lanky teen said as he walked up to the two digimon. "I hate to say it but you should relinquish command to me if you are going to abuse your spirits."
Tao took a deep breath and reached a hand behind his back and pulled an ivory gripped pistol. "Take that back, you know I do all I can and if you want to be leader you better be crazy and ready to catch a bullet with your skull." Tao said returning the firearm to a holster behind his back.
"Tao, Gato didn't mean anything by it; we just think you should take some time off and relax." Motoko said placing a hand on Tao's shoulder. She turned into her human form and draped her hair over his head. "I like you, and Gato is a pain in the tail feathers but you are the glue that keeps this team in check."
Tao took a deep breath and dropped his D-tector into his pocket. "What ever, gather the twins and Marc and let's hit the base before we go to find the Burgermon and get a bite to eat." He surrendered.
"Guys we have a problem, a trans-dimensional vortex is going to murk the whole Alpha sector." A boy said running past the three other teens. "That means, Ophanimon, Seraphimon, and Cherubimon are about to bite the big one and so will the world order."
Tao looked at Gato and thought for a second. "Why are we still standing here?" He held up his D-tector and ran toward their destination.
Back in Kim's world Ron and Rufus recovered but they still weren't as warm as they wanted to be. "Hey, K.P. do you have a minute?" Ron asked from under the covers. He sniffled every few words as he warmed up.
"Yeah Ron, taking care of you isn't a full time job, all you do is sleep." She said as she folded some clothes. "What did you want?"
"Could you turn on the T.V? I wanted to watch Digimon Rescue Squad; they are almost at the series finale." Ron said sitting up.
Kim opened her mouth to ask a question but thought it wasn't going to be something she would understand. She flipped on her T.V. and changed the channel until she found what Ron was looking for.
"Go Tao; give that evil digimon a thunder fist!" Ron said punching the air. Rufus climbed up to Ron's shoulder and cheered. "Motoko is cute but how does a pink bikini serve as armor?" Ron asked out loud.
Kim watched and something in her gut told her to sit and make sure things ended well. "Ron what is so great about this show?"
"Digivolve!" Rufus said excited as one of the Digimon Rescue Squad members took a stance.
"Execute: Fusion evolution!" Gato said on screen. He jumped forward as flames engulfed his body. Red and gold armor clamped on to his body as he changed into a powerful Digimon. "Aldamon!" He called out as his transformation was complete.
"That makes a whole lot of sense." Kim said sarcastically. She didn't see the point and it wasn't long before she fell asleep while watching.
"These digimon aren't even phased by our attacks." Blitzmon/Tao said blocking the attacks of a Tankmon. "We are going to get wiped out before we even get to Apexmon."
"Vorpal bolt cutter!" A booming voice said shaking the whole room, waking up Kim. A giant of a digimon knocked Tao and his friends to the ground; each with a tear straight into their digital armor. "Your powers as legendary warriors can never be compared to a being untouched by time."
"Ron, turn down the television, it woke me clear out of a good dream." Kim said laying her head back down. "And that thing is ugly, what is it?"
Ron sighed before answering. "That is Apexmon, a digimon who is the D.N.A evolution of the revived Lucimon chaos mode from season four and ChaosGallantmon, this would be the same as Bueno nacho going out of business at the same time as Club Banana." He stressed this like it was life or death. He was so close to Kim's face that it was unhealthy.
She placed her hand on his forehead to check his temperature before shoving him back onto the bed. "Just watch your show." She said turning back to the television screen.
As Tao took hold of the wound inflicted by Apexmon he felt a sinking feeling that he never got as a digimon; the fear of a prey getting ready to be killed be a predator. He stood and changed back to his human form. "This really isn't the time, I need more power, I need to destroy my enemy to protect my friends, and to protect Gato and Motoko like I promised; This won't be like last time I won't lose them again." He said as his eyes grew blurry with tears.
"You want power? Are you sure you can handle it? This might be the last you ever see of your friends; are you sure this is what you want?" A heavenly voice spoke but nobody was even standing or even near him at the moment.
"Yes Ophanimon;" Tao said to the disembodied voice. "I could die today and it would be the only day I truly lived." He looked down at the D-tector in his hand and let it go. It floated up and hung in the air in front of his face.
"With this sacrifice you will not be a human nor a digimon," Ophanimon said as an orb of light surrounded his digivice. "I grant you this power with the hope you will be safe."
The digivice entered his chest and streams of light pulled the digital armor from his friends and wrapped themselves around Tao. "Execute: Ancient sprits unite!" Tao yelled as he was slammed around by the armor that bashed into his body to form a god among digimon. When the transformation was complete Tao stood face to face with Apexmon. "Now we'll see where you stand in power, Susanoomon."
Apexmon threw a flurry of punches striking Susanoomon and chipping away his armor which regrew quickly. Susanoomon grabbed the evil digimon's fist and snapped his arms off. Before he could continue a beam of light fired straight through Apexmon and continued through Susanoomon and crashed into the ground where Tao's friends still sat unconscious. The beam pulled the fractal codes from their bodies and turned them to stone. Tao looked up to see the evil grin of Apexmon, his armor had shattered and the vortex had drawn in most of the digital world, the only thing that could make things worse was what was coming his way.
"Spiral bolt cutter!" Apexmon boomed shaking the air and Tao along with it.
"Ron Is told you to turn it down; I'm not going to tell you again." Kim said raising a pillow to beating position.
"K.P. You have the remote; I think the T.V. is broken but I'm trying to watch this please can we finish this." Ron begged as his eyes drifted back and forth to the television and Kim.
"Fine but I'm getting a bad feeling." Kim said shaking her head.
Tao's D-tector burst from his chest and blocked Apexmon's blade but shattered under the pressure. "I...lost..." Tao said falling into the darkness that was now the digital world. "After all we did, I lost."
He saw that Apexmon was still damaged and wasn't healing like he had been doing before. "One last chance..." Tao pulled his hand guns from his holsters and fired at the core of Apexmon's data. The bullets chipped away at what was left of the beast's core and it faded into the darkness. With its fading moments it launched a blade of energy toward the haggard boy and then...
Ron sat close up on the screen and his jaw went slack when the screen turned black. "Oh man... the ending got cut..." Ron yelled acting like a child.
Kim rolled her eyes and clapped because she actually liked what she saw so far. "Well we could always have Wade get it off the net for you, it's not like it was translated from nothing." She said trying to get Ron out of his funk.
Ron shot up and looked around for the Kimmunicator. "Wade! You have to get me the ending episode of Digimon Rescue Squad!" He said franticly. "Please it blanked out here for some reason."
"Chill Ron, it shouldn't take that long; it is Japanese and translation is one of many skills." He said as he began to type rapidly on his keyboard. "Here you go, Ron."
A image came across the screen of Apexmon and Susanoomon battling it out and Susanoomon winning but that was different from what they had just seen. "Wade, did they change the anime between Japan and America?" Ron asked slightly confused.
"No why? Is it skipping?" Wade asked looking over his data. He looked back at his computer screen doing a double take. "No I thought something was wrong but it's nothing."
"It's just what we saw of the show... Tao lost and the screen just went black." Kim said trying to change the channel. "I think it broke, the channel won't change, it won't turn off, and now I'm bored because there is nothing else to do right now."
Ron said goodbye to Wade and turned to Kim. "I have a few ideas; ahem I mean we could always make out." Ron said meekly as if he couldn't decide if it was worth doing. "Never mind I was just kidding." He laughed but Kim could tell he was serious.
"Sure, we've got nothing to do but if I say move your hand, you move it." Kim said sitting on her bed. She motioned for Ron to take a seat next to her.
Ron didn't seem as nervous as he had moments before; he wasn't acting like his normal dodgy self as he leaned in to kiss Kim. He placed a light hand on her back as he parted her lips with his. Kim decided to let him be the lead and she would follow his advances. As the two teens kissed a heat built up between them and hands started to pinch and grope in sensitive areas. Kim pinned Ron down on his back and began to pull the shirt from her body, a cotton sports bra cutting off Ron's view of her breast.
"If you want to see these then you better get out of those pants." Kim said seductively. The smile faded from her face when she noticed Ron had covered his eyes and a looming shadow had been cast over them.
"Kimberly Ann Possible!" He parents both yelled in unison. They were red as stewed beets and just as heated.
And here is where I bring chapter one to an end.
