CH. 1Encounter

The downtown area of Cyber City was its usual, hurried self. Cars zipped by to and fro, from destination to destination. People filled the sidewalks as they carried out their daily business. Cody strolled down the street in his usual manner, backpack over his shoulder. His clothes matched his personality-carefree. All he had on was a pair of blue jeans, tee shirt, and baseball cap. Cody made his way to the city's central park. He had planned to meet up with a few friends to play baseball for the afternoon. The trees kept the stoned road paths cool under their extending shadows. Cody reached the field and searched for his friends. He found a few of them waiting next to a set of bleachers.

"Hey guys! What's up?" yelled Cody, heading over to meet his friends.

"Nothing much man," replied one of them. Cody approached to find four of his friends waiting for him. They all were in pretty much the same attire as him, the only variation being the colors.

"Where are the others?" asked Cody.

"Still getting here, apparently" was the reply.

"Let's warm up then," said another. The group proceeded to the field to practice a bit.

"It doesn't end does it? The paper work just doesn't end."

"Oh Albert, you'll get used to it. All Digital ADAS have to do this kind of work. Since you're a leader now you will have to be doing this kind of stuff a lot, plus more." said a female voice with a laugh.

Albert was a teenage boy with short black hair and a pair of thin glasses. He wore a blue vest with a black undershirt and a pair of black cargo pants. The back of his vest had the symbol of a howling wolf. "Maybe I should have just stayed an agent," said Albert sarcastically, still working through the pile of papers before him.

"Heehee. You'll get used to it." said the female figure, leaving the room. Albert sat alone working on the papers. The door to the room opened as two more figures walked into the room. He quickly stood up when they entered the room and saluted them "Good afternoon Commander Aria and Commander Titan." The two figures returned the gesture and beckoned Albert to sit back down.

"So how do you like the promotion?" asked Commander Aria. Her uniform was a long green jacket with a black trim. She had blond hair tied back into a bun and looked very young but much older than Albert.

"I liked it until I saw how much paper work I had to do. Why didn't you tell me about this?" he asked, shuffling through the papers.

"It comes with the territory of moving up the line. ADAS have a lot more work and responsibilities to do than those of a normal DECA agent," said Commander Titan. He was massive in build with a yellow jacket with black trim as his uniform. His hair was had a buzz cut and he wore a pair of dark sunglasses.

"You'll get used to it. Have fun, we have a meeting to get to with the other Commanders." said Commander Aria, exiting the room with Commander Titan. Albert just sighed and returned to work.

The sun was setting into the horizon. A few stars were poking out into the luminous night sky. Cody had finished his game and was returning home with two of his friends, Eric and JR. Both of them were physically fit for their age. Eric wore a pair of glasses and had spiked black hair while JR was a bit taller, longer black hair, and had a lighter skin color.

"That was a great game," said Eric.

"Yeah, we whooped that team," added JR.

"Can't wait till we get to play again next week" said Cody. The trio made their way through the park, which was mostly kept illuminated by the street lamps above. They stopped when the lights above started to flicker on and off.

"Darnn lights are always faulty," growled Eric, staring up at the lights. The trio continued on their way through the park, the lights still flickering on and off. The group halted again when they heard a low howling sound. The sound came closer and closer as if approaching them. A dark figure leapt up into the air and stood before the trio, howling. They halted and stared at the figure.

"What is that thing?" said Cody as he examined the creature. It had yellow fur and resembled an ape. The figure was tall and held a long white club in its hand.

"It's a Digimon," said JR, reaching to his waist but then halted. Eric did the same but they both stopped.

"Let me guess, you don't have your Digivice?" asked Eric nervously as he backed away from the creature.

"No, it's my day off and the DECA kept it to examine my partner after our last mission," said JR, doing the same.

"What the heck are you two talking about?" asked Cody in confusion.

"Nothing, just run!" yelled Eric, taking off, JR and Cody following close behind. The Digimon pursued them through the park.

"Alert! Alert! Digimon detected in Central Park!" barked the siren.

"Great. I was hoping for a quiet night," said Albert, checking the main computer screen. Commander Aria burst into the room and approached the screen, calling up a program on the computer that revealed a picture of a Digimon.

"Apemon, a champion beast type Digimon. Has an attack called Mega Bone Stick to pound his enemies. Albert…" started Commander Aria.

"I'm on it" said Albert, exiting the room.

"Diandra is close by and on duty so I'll tell her to meet you there," said Commander Aria, still on the computer.

Cody, JR, and Eric continued to make their way through the park, trying to escape the pursuing Digimon.

"What is that thing?" said Cody as he and the others continued running.

"It's a Digimon, don't think it's nice though" said JR.

"Man I wish I had my Digivice," Eric added.

There was no escaping the Digimon. The creature kept following the trio as they sprinted through the forest. It threw his bone club like a boomerang, striking Eric in his back. Eric collapsed to the ground in pain.

"Eric!" yelled both Cody and JR. Eric could just groan in pain.

"I... can't… move… It hurts too much…" groaned Eric. The creature just stopped and howled at them as it slowly approached. Cody charged forward and tried to punch the creature. It leapt into the air, dodging the attack. Apemon landed behind Cody and charged for Eric. JR stood forward to stop the creature but was only clubbed on his head, knocking him unconscious.

"Get away from my friends!" yelled Cody, charging once more at the creature. Cody felt something surge through his body. It was like a warm surge of power reacting deep within him. He felt something appear in his hand. Cody examined the suddenly-appearing device in his hand. The Device looked similar to a cell phone but unopened. A small, white ring was on one end of the Device to allow it to be clipped to a belt loop. The front side of the Digivice was red while the back was solid white. There were three white buttons below the screen.

"What's this thing?" asked Cody, staring into the device. The screen on the Device began to glow in a bright red, releasing a beam of light onto the ground. The light formed a small, orange, dinosaur like creature.

"Finally! I'm free and have my found my partner" said the creature in excitement.

"Partner?" asked Cody in confusion.

"Yep you and me will be working together. Um… what's your name?" asked the creature curiously.

"Cody…" answered Cody slowly.

"Cody. We'll nice to meet you. I'm Agumon," said the creature. Apemon let out another howl and charged for the two of them.

"Help me Digivolve Cody," said Agumon.

"What!?" said Cody.

"Digivolve. It'll help me defeat this Digimon." cried Agumon. Cody had no idea what to do. The creature charged forth preparing to strike with its club. Cody braced for an impact.

"Fox Tail Inferno!"

"Spiral Blow!"

Cody looked up to see that Apemon was knocked against the ground and two more Digimon had appeared, each with another human on their backs. One resembled a fox with yellow fur and white underbelly. A long red and white bow was tied around its neck. The other Digimon resembled a blue wolf with a white mane. Its fangs were showing from under the its lips as it growled at Apemon.

"Let's take this one out. Ready Diandra?" asked the figure on the wolf's back.

"Ready Albert," replied the figure on the fox's back.
