Digimon Adventure 03

Episode 1: Gennai's Little Secret

(Digi-World: Before Summer Camp)


A hypnotic pattern of colors surrounded the digi-world. It was part of everything and in everything. Some even said that it was everything. A mysterious hooded man was walking past the multi-colored lakes, meadows, forests, and mountains. He seemed to be on appointment somewhere. As he continued on, a path began to slowly appear, clearly as a result of heavy traffic to this particular destination. In the distance appeared to be a large, grey dome. A headquarters of some sort. The man heard a screech far in the woods, and hundreds of bird-type digimon flew away with fear.

The man's pace quickened; he was not far from the grey dome, perhaps a mile away. He felt something. A vibration.

No, not now!

Steps away from the entrance of the dome, the ground exploded from right in front of him and out emerged a Piximon. He seemed uneasy. Piximon hesitated before speaking,

"I warn you not to do this, my friend. The powers of the digi-world should not be played with. We have seen in the past what can happen when we separate the powers of light and darkness!"

The hooded man replied, "Out of my way, Piximon. You know as well as I that if the others and I do not contain these forces, then the digi-world will absorb the other world. We cannot allow this to happen because the incompatibility of the worlds will destroy all of us and both worlds! We have come up with a way to tap into the powers of light and darkness without the forces overpowering the digi-world."

Curious, Piximon questioned, "And how do you plan on doing this? Tampering with the forces has always led to trouble. What makes you think you will succeed this time?"

The now irritated man responded, "That is all you need to know, Piximon. Be gone!"

The man proceeded to the entrance, but the Piximon stopped him.

"No! You are my friend, but if you do not tell me what you plan on doing, I will remove my protective dome, and you will no longer be able to carry out this plan! I will not allow you to mess with the forces as you have done so many other times in the past!"

"Very well", said the hooded man. "You will always be my friend. But if you will not help us willingly, then you will help us by force."

"SPORE OF CORRUPTION!"

Just then, a small, spikey spore emerged out of the palm of the hooded man and launched itself into the Piximon. The Piximon went into a compulsive seizure before falling to the floor, motionless. The hooded man whispered into the Piximon's ear.

"You will help this cause. Keep the barrier up eternally, unless I command you to do otherwise. Keep hidden until further instruction. Now, arise and do as you've been commanded." Piximon regained consciousness and opened his eyes. His blue eyes became dilated, and they now resembled a void, without an ounce of color. He spoke as if unchanged and said, "Yes, I shall" before jumping back into the ground where he first surfaced.

This plan will not result in a failure. We have worked and waited far too long to let anything get in our way.

The hooded man entered the dome's entrance and proceeded through the grey maze to the meeting room. He could hear the others chattering, yet he could not make out the actual words.

The hooded man entered the room. Inside, it was dimly lit and in the center was a very large and round, stone table with several large wax candles hovering above it. There were seven members sitting, and everyone's eyes were on him. One of the members spoke up and broke the silence,

"Ah, Gennai. So good of you to finally make it!" said a tree-type digimon. "Thank you, Cherrymon. I had a bit of an obstacle to hop over; so sorry I haven't arrived sooner. I see you have de-digivolved. You were too big to get into the room, eh?" Gennai chuckled. "Oh you're the one to talk!" Exclaimed Cherrymon. "Your 'oh-so-original' human disguise has gotten old over the past few decades. Everyone knows your true form!" Cherrymon grinned at his comeback. However, none of the others were too amused.

At the head of the table, the organizer of the meeting cleared his throat, "Now then, I thank you all for coming. You all know why you've been requested at this meeting. Gennai, you may speak."

"Thank you, Myotismon. Brothers and sisters, the possibility of dividing the forces has finally become a reality. We can finally have control over light and darkness. For once, they will be under us instead of us to them!"

Gennai put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a small, blue device. One of the members near the end of the table split into two angel-like entities, and one of the two burst out laughing. "Ha, and what will a puny little device do?" The other entity silenced her. "Hush, Ladydevimon, let him finish."

"Thank you, Devimon. Now as I was saying, these 'puny little devices' are my latest technology, which I have named digivices. It allows digimon to digivolve nearly on demand, rather than taking years upon years to advance to the next stage." Another laughter escaped from the table, from a different member. "Hah! And what use is it to us? We are all already fully digivolved! Perhaps you should have made these devices ten thousand years ago. Then, they may have been of use!"

"Yes, well the digivices are not necessarily for us, Daemon. Please allow me to finish. The digivices will be for a chosen 8 digimon, one for each of us. These digimon will have the ability to digivolve up to their champion levels." Another of the members perked its ears. "Ah, a champion level. Part of me just got excited!" it said. It then split into two angel-like entities. One of the two said "And being able to jump to champion level does what, exactly? Besides allowing us to DNA digivolve, champions can't do much!" His counterpart replied, "Well, Angemon, if you let him speak then maybe you'll find out." Angemon breathed in deeply, "Well fine, Angewomon. We're all just a bit itchy to get this done once and for all." She sighed, "Fair enough. Just let him finish. We've all been waiting, not just you."

Once the two simmered down, Gennai fumbled into his pocket and pulled out 8 shiny little shards. "Now these are another invention of mine. They're what I call 'crests'. They will hopefully satisfy you, Angemon. Crests work by absorbing aspects of the forces of light and dark, which as we all know, is how any digimon is able to digivolve. With these crests, the chosen digimon shall be able to digivolve to their ultimate levels. Just like most of your forms right now, Myotismon, Angewomon, Ladydevimon, Cherrymon, and Dragomon."

Another member spoke up, "But surely these digimon will not be greater than us!" Myotismon butted in, "Of course not, Dragomon. Although you are only at ultimate level in this form, for example, you have grown past what any average ultimate level digimon would have grown. You don't see many other ultimates becoming masters of the sea, now do you?" "Valid point", Dragomon commented. "It just makes it shaky ground because just as how we are trying to conquer the forces, other digimon may want to conquer us!" The final member spoke up, "I see your concern, Dragomon. Do not forget that we are the only ones that understand the powers of the forces, and with that knowledge we are empowered! All those digimon out in the digi-world have no clue why anything makes sense. They just live their lives barbarically, and the circle of life destroys them all eventually, leading them all back to the Primary Village." Gennai spoke,

"Yes, and that's precisely the reason why were are doing all of this. We can break the forces' powers over us. We get to choose who dies and who doesn't. We can take over where the forces have made it an unfair cycle! We will not be making our way back to Primary Village, Apocalymon. We will finally put an end to the forces!"

Myotismon seemed intrigued by the new technology that Gennai has created. "Tell me, Gennai, how do the crests and digivices work exactly?" Gennai paused before speaking. "Right, that's where I need you all to stay calm. These digivices and crests can only be activated by 8 chosen humans. The humans are the key to—" "What are humans?" Interrupted Myotismon. Daemon answered, "Ah, funny little creatures. They are the primary species that control the other world. I have been observing them for some time now, given my ability to phase between both worlds." Myotismon got edgy. "Do they pose a threat?" "Nonsense!" Replied Daemon. "They are as stupid as most digimon over here. They do not even have any attributes. They play their games, get educated on useless material, and learn how to behave in sight of other humans. Do not worry, Myotismon. From what I've seen, they are completely harmless." Myotismon became more confident.

"He's right," said Gennai. "The humans will be the perfect vessels for our uses. Let me explain; very soon a group of 8 human children will be chosen that correspond to the crests. There is a crest for every aspect of light and darkness we have come to discover. There is one for courage and cowardice, friendship and loneliness, love and hate, reliability and treachery, knowledge and stupidity, sincerity and dishonesty, hope and fear, and then the obvious light and darkness. The children will be transported to the digi-world and we will carefully lay out their progression for them to understand both sides of their 'crests'. When the human vessels have unlocked both sides of the crest, the crest will glow, and that aspect of light and darkness will be sealed inside the crest." The table was silent, begging for Gennai to continue his explanation.

"Once all the aspects of light and darkness have been captured, whoever has the crests has power over that aspect of light and dark. When the children have fulfilled their mission, we will take back the crests and dismiss the children and we will finally have control over light and darkness!" The members cheered in unison.

"Why children?" questioned Myotismon. "Because", chuckled Daemon, "From my observations, Children are the most inexperienced and immature of the humans. We would be able to use them like puppets. They will think they are saving the world when in reality they are the ones that will be completely altering the very fabric of the digi-world, shifting the power from the forces to us."

"Precisely", added Gennai. "This is why they must be children and not other digimon. Other digimon would want the power that we desire, but the children will blindly do our bidding! They will not ever discover the truth, and they will go back to their lives on their world. Everyone wins. Our task now is to choose what digimon we want to accompany these children." Myotismon once again cleared his throat before speaking.

"This gives all of us something to think about. Do not leave headquarters. We need to keep this information confidential, or else our plans can be ruined! Everyone get some rest and we will reconvene tomorrow at noon. Dismissed." The table bursted in applause for Gennai's accomplishing work. Apocalymon was the first to leave and disappeared into the shadows. Angemon and Angewomon morphed back into one being, as did Devimon and Ladydevimon. The two beings walked out together quietly and casually, talking about something about DNA digivolving. Cherrymon left the room and then digivolved back to his true form. Dragomon slowly slid out of the room, following after Cherrymon. Myotismon stood up and approached Gennai, who was now having an apparently intimate talk with Daemon. "Nice work, Gennai." He patted Gennai's shoulder. "I have no fear that the plan will succeed this time around. Until tomorrow." "Until tomorrow," Gennai responded. Myotismon gave a nod, and then dissipated into the shadows. Gennai made sure everyone has left the room before speaking. "Daemon, now that everyone else has gone, I have to ask a favor of you…"


Demidevimon: Soo, I'm confused. My name is Demidevimon. Why on earth am I Myotismon's goon, and not Devimon's?

Myotismon: Because I am superior to Devimon!

Devimon: Wow, you suck.

badda bum tss.

Myotismon: lol

Devimon: lol
