Two Worlds Collide:

The Story of the Ninth and Tenth Digidestined

Digidestined? Us?

We weren't ready for it. We were just walking around outside, looking for something to do. We never actually expected to find anything…

It looked like the Northern Lights. Problem was, it was to the East. It looked like two comets shooting straight towards us. Problem was, they were too small.

The comets hit the ground before us. I turned to Cole, my best friend. "Whoa!!! Look at those!" We did.

They floated up into the air in front of us. They looked like a hand-held video game or something. The screens glowed. "They look… cool." That was all he said. That was all he had to say. We each picked one up. Suddenly, we were zooming towards the sky, then everything was dark.

We woke up in a meadow. I stood up, and shook my head. "Where… where are we, Cole?"

"I don't know, Andrew… But we're not in Kansas anymore."

I chuckled. It was nice to have a small bit of humor, at least. Of course we weren't from Kansas, far from it. Actually, we were Californian.

I felt something small bump against my leg. "What's Kansas?" It kept bumping my leg. I looked down. It looked like a ball of fluff with a frill and a tail. The tail was pushing it forward at my leg. "What's Kansas, Andrew, huh? Huh? What's Kansas?"

Cole and I exchanged looks, then Cole looked down at the thing. "It's a state… who… what are you, and how do you know my name?"

"My name's Frimon, and I'm a digimon! We're partners!!!"

We nodded, voices dripping with sarcasm. "Right…"

A sound like a whistle could be heard, then what looked like a missile with arms came into the clearing, shouting something. "Evacuate, evacuate!!!"

Cole and I both, at the same time, said, "Oh god, I'm dreaming…" our voices filled with incredulous disbelief.

Frimon called out to the… whatever it was. "Missimon! What's going on?"

Missimon, or whatever it was called, stopped for a moment. Or, rather, it circled around us for a moment. We later found out that Missimon can never stop moving. "Airdramon's coming!!"

"But Airdramon's a good guy."

"He got a black gear."

Frimon's eyes widened, which seemed impossible due to the size they already were. "You're kidding! Well… these are humans, I think!"

Missimon seemed to think about this. "Hey, that must be Cole, my partner!!" Then he saw the devices on the ground. "THIS IS THEM!!! THEY HAVE THEM!!!" He pointed at the little video game things we'd picked up before everything went black.

I stared at them blankly. "But… that can't be possible…" Cole and I were dumbfounded. "This is just a dream!!!"

We walked over to the devices and picked them up. As we picked them up, the screens began glow. A long, blue, snake-like figure with red, scaly wings and a skull mask over its face appeared over the tree line.

Before we knew what was happening, the two… creatures… had started to glow.

"Frimon, digivolve to… Leormon!!!"

"Missimon, digivolve to… Commandramon!!!"

"What the hell?" I said.

Suddenly, the one who had called himself Commandramon, a small, almost pixilated blue, military garbed tyrannosaur, started firing an assault rifle at the incoming enemy. "M16 Assassin!!!"

The cat-like one, Leormon, started leaping up a tree, climbing and climbing until he finally leapt onto the flying creature's back. He ran along the length of the creature until he came to a small black bump, and, even from where I was, I could see his eyes widen for half a second. "Yep, he's got one!!! Leo Claw!" He swiped a claw at it, and the bump shattered. The flying… digimon… stopped seeing red all of a sudden as Leormon leapt down and landed squarely on my head, apparently content to stay there.

"Thank you… you have saved me from the evil that is Devimon…" And it flew off.

"Alright, both of you, from the beginning, what's going on here?"

Commandramon sighed and set the gun down. "Well, see, there's this evil, Champion level digimon called Devimon. He's trying to take over the Digital World."

Cole and I exchanged glances, then broke out laughing. "Digital World? We must be dreaming," Cole laughed.

Leormon disagreed, and made it very clear to my scalp. To this day I hope he never does it again. "This is not a dream." And with how my head suddenly felt, I wasn't inclined to agree with Cole anymore.

So Commandramon continued. "Devimon's controlling digimon with his Black Gears; he puts them into their bodies and it gives him control of them."

I mulled this over a minute. "You called him a Champion level… what does that mean?"

Leormon answered that. "Well, there's a lot of different levels of digimon. We start out as eggs, then when we hatch, we're babies!!"

Commandramon caught the end of that. "Then, after that, we're In-Training, until we digivolve into Rookies. Leormon and I are Rookies. Then comes Champion, then Ultimate, and finally, very last level, is Mega."

"So… you need our help to stop Devimon? Why doesn't everyone just team up against him?" That was Cole.

"We don't know how," came Commandramon's response.

So we set off in search of Devimon. We hadn't figured out what we were going to do or how we were going to do it, but we had figured that that we were going to do it… whatever it was.

We'd been walking for a couple of days uneventfully, when, out of nowhere, we saw a large dog, quite like a Doberman. Leormon and Commandramon seemed delighted, and my device, which had recently been labeled as a Digivice was glowing, and it suddenly beeped. A small thing popped up on the screen, giving information on the digimon.

"It's Dobermon!" Commandramon seemed to think this was a good thing. I don't know much about Dobermon, but I know a thing or two about animals, dogs and cats especially. When a dog is growling like that one was, you just didn't mess with it… you turned tail and went the other direction. But something stopped me from doing that, or rather, someone stopped me. Leormon leapt out in front as the dog digimon attacked.

The dog had opened its mouth, and a ball of darkness had formed there. "Grau Realm!!" the dog cried as the ball fired from its mouth. Leormon jumped up in front of me to take the hit. I was frozen in terror, but that digivice glowed again, and Leormon glowed.

"Leormon, digivolve to… Liamon!!!" Suddenly, the cat was a lion, demonstrated as such by his mane, which was in dreadlocks. But, somehow, he had two tails. Oh, and the earrings. Lions aren't supposed to have earrings. But, well, that's how things work, isn't it? Liamon returned the attack. "Thunder of Kings!!" His mane sparked with electricity and suddenly bolts of it leapt from him, striking the dog. I could now see a black gear in the dog's back, just as it was shattering into a million pieces. The dog stood there, panting. In a gruff voice, it spoke. "Thank you… Devimon… must be… stopped…" After that, the digimon ran off, leaving us on our own. Liamon dedigivolved immediately afterwards.

"That was interesting…" Cole commented dully.

I shrugged, and we started to walk again.

We were getting up towards a mountain the next day… I don't know how the scenery could possibly change so fast. My digivice started to glow, and Cole and I were looking around, curiously. After a moment, we sighed and, thinking nothing of it, continued on. But suddenly, from amongst all the rocks and boulders around us, a brown… snow-man looking thing… stepped forward. Commandramon blinked. My digivice beeped, and so did Cole's. Looking at them, there was information on them again.

Leormon grinned… and that's what it was, too, a cat grin. "It's MudFrigimon!!! He's one of the good guys!"

I was about to believe him, too, when MudFrigimon attacked us… "Heavy Punch!" He just barely missed Cole.

Leormon growled… or tried to. "Leormon, digivolve to… Leormon! Wait, what?"

And that was it… we were finished… until Cole's digivice glowed when MudFrigimon attacked Commandramon.

Commandramon glowed. "Commandramon, digivolve to… Sealsdramon!!!" To attempt to describe Sealsdramon would be an affront to nature… You'd simply have to see him for yourself. What I can say is that he was tall, thin, vaguely humanoid in shape, and he was covered in what looked like armor, with one of his eyes having some kind of red lens or something over it. It was over in a flash… I only ever remember hearing "Death Behind!!!" and then… suddenly, the black gear in MudFrigimon's back shattered.

MudFrigimon couldn't stop thanking us for freeing him from Devimon's control. In fact, it got annoying. After about half an hour of it, I had to smack Cole to keep him from outright telling the digimon to go away. But eventually, MudFrigimon realized we were trying to leave, and let us go. It was my turn to mutter dully… "Well, that was interesting…"

We had decided it best not to scale Infinity Mountain, as the digimon named it, seeing as how that was where we were more likely to be attacked. Or at least, that's what we thought. The world around us, however, had decided we were going to be attacked no matter what we did. Unfortunately for us, our next opponent was a lot stronger than we had hoped.

We hadn't eaten in a while, and neither had the digimon. We were tired, and it was close to dark. We were just exhausted, and so were our digimon. Once again, our digivices had started to glow. We were starting to think of this as having some sort of significance.

He had come flying at us, a dark man with dark wings and horns. With fear in their eyes, both Leormon and Commandramon exclaimed, "That's Devimon!!!"

We pulled out our digivices. Both digimon glowed brightly.

"Leormon, digivolve to… Liamon!!!"

"Commandramon, digivolve to… Sealsdramon!!!"

Devimon came at us, and both digimon leaped at him.

"Thunder of Kings!!!"

"Death Behind!!!"

But Devimon seemed unfazed. He extended his claws out towards the two, and Cole and I averted our gaze. "Touch of Evil!!!"

There was a whooshing sound, and then we looked; both digimon, yet again aglow, were breaking up into pieces and drifting away. Liamon roared at me. "Find us again, in Primary Village!!! We'll be wait-" and he was gone. Devimon turned to look at us, and Cole put his arms up to cover his head. The screen of his digivice created a bright light, and Devimon cried out and backed up several feet. Cole blinked and looked at his digivice in wonder, but I grabbed his arm and dragged him away. We made a run for it… we were sitting ducks without those two digimon, I hated to say it. We had to find Primary Village, wherever that was…

We'd been stumbling around for a couple of days, scaring off small creatures that followed us around. We finally found one that looked something like a rabbit, but its legs were much thicker, and its stance was more like a turtle. It was red, with blue or purple stripes on it, and 9 tails. It also had a black gear in its back. We were not prepared for this…

"Super Thunder Strike!!!" Bolts of lightning shot from his tail. I pushed Cole to the side and I dove to the other side.

Cole seemed to have an idea. "Hey! The digivice repelled that Devimon guy, what do you think it'll do to this guy?"

I shrugged. It was worth a try… I pulled out the digivice and held it out towards the digimon. There was a light from the screen of the digivice, and the black gear shattered. The digimon looked at the digivice in reverence.

"You're… Digidestined…"

"What's a Digidestined? And who are you?"

"I'm Elecmon, the keeper of Primary Village… and the Digidestined are humans who were brought here to save the Digital World; to stop the evil that plagues it."

My eyes widened. "We're trying to get to Primary Village!!!"

But Cole only had one thing in mind: "Digidestined? Us?"
