Tagiru's Bizarre Adventure
Hello, and welcome to my new Digimon fanfic, and for the first time, I'll be using a character based on the latest Digimon anime, Digimon Xros Wars., which has ended in March of 2012.

Although I haven't watched the three anime series yet, I was able to relate well enough through the information provided by wikipedia, and after seeing their photos on Digimon wiki, I studied the series through the info from wikipedia and there it took me several months to come up with a good plot, and which character I'm going to use.

After a few weeks, I decided to try using Xros Wars' Tagiru Akashi, as I felt that his behavioral description, energetic and reckless and always does things without thinking, but despite his rash behavior, he is willing to risk anything to protect his friends, a good factor and this helped me come up with good plot making and this led me to construct a fanfic.

The fic is set after the finale of the third chapter, The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time, and this embarks Tagiru on an adventure he would never expect, ranging from the usual Digimon-hunting, to the point of getting embroiled at certain situation that also involves facing dangers from fellow humans...and finally, coming across an...ancient artifact that would soon change his life, and affect his relationship with his friends and Digimon partner.
Well, That's the summary I can tell you right now, but you'll soon see where this would lead to, so here is the first chapter, so read and enjoy!

The scene shows that several months ago, a huge battle took place where in the ensuing conflict between the heroes and the villains are in a fight that would decide the fates of both the human and the Digital Worlds, and both sides appeared to be evenly matched until the evil forces seemingly have gained the upper hand and threatened to win the decisive battle.

There, various Digimon heroes, including the "Chosen Children" from their respective "universes" appeared and aid the "Chosen Teens" of the Xros Team, but despite this, the main villain maintained a tight hold of the situation.

In the moments before the decisive battle it appeared that Ryouma had betrayed the Hunters, but Astamon reveals to Tagiru that he is slide-evolution from Quartzmon's Terminal and has been manipulating Ryouma the entire time. Assuming his slide-evolved form, Quartzmon reveals that he used Ryouma to obtain enough Digimon data to construct his main body before fusing into it and burrowing underground to turn Earth into data to absorb.

The Old Clock Store Owner has everyone gather around him to lend the power from their Xros Loaders, while having Clockmon temporarily freeze time to halt Quartzmon's digitizing of all life on Earth long enough for Tagiru to obtain the Brave Snatcher. Taiki then passes his goggles to Tagiru, asking him to hunt Quartzmon using the combined strength of himself, Taichi, Daisuke, Takato, Takuya and Masaru.

While the others are digitized, Tagiru and Arresterdramon proceed to hunt down Quartzmon with the latter assuming Superior Mode and Digi-Xrossing with the Brave Snatcher to break Quartzmon's core at the root. With Quartzmon reduced to a DigiEgg and everything restored, the Chosen Children, the Tamers, Legendary Warriors, and DATS agents return to their respective universes while the Xros Heart and Hunter Digimon return to their respective human and Digital worlds.

However, a month later, Gumdramon returns to the real world and is reunited with Tagiru. The Old Clock Store Owner appears in front of Taiki and Yuu, revealing himself as a resurrected Bagramon as well DarkKnightmon was resurrected and that he wanted to help them stop Quartzmon, a by-product of his evil. He also reveals that some Digimon have remained in their world and tells them to be on their guard.

Despite this, Taiki, Tagiru and the others weren't bothered by this and vowed to protect their world from evil Digimons who threatened the lives of the humans, undaunted even when told that it is posssible that stronger Digimons might come across their paths and threaten Taiki and his friends.

Two years have passed, and Japan seemingly went peaceful after managing to defeat rogue Digimons that made their way to the human world, thanks in part to Taiki Kudo, Yu Amano, and Tagiru, along with their Digimon partners, and now they are having a good time now that they are now in their final year as junior high students as they are just two months away from graduating Shinonome East Junior High School and are soon to become senior high school students.

At a picnic area, Taiki and Yu are joined by Tagiru and as they are having their lunch, the two are rather dumbfounded to discover that Taiki has a large appetite, and another discovery that they didn't expect: he carries a bottle of mayonnaise with him and puts it to any food he is eating, which made them grimaced a bit as well as sweat-dropping a lot. It is the first time they seen this and questions him for that.

Tagiru: "Ah...now to have a very good lunch..."

Taiki: "Er..Tagiru...what are you doing...?"

Yu: "Pouring mayonnaise on your lunch...? Are you out of your mind...?"

Tagiru: "Not at all...I've been doing this since I was small...and it taste good when you put mayonnaise on your favorite dish...want some, Taiki-senpai...?"

Taiki: "Er...no thanks..."

Tagiru: "Okay...Yu...have some...here...let me put this on..."

Yu: "WWAAHHH! NO!"

Tagiru: "Come on...try it...I promise it'll look good..."

Yu: "KEEP YOUR MAYONNAISE TO YOURSELF!"

A brief scuffle ensued as Tagiru attempts to offer Yu a whip of mayonnaise on his lunch, which Yu grappled with his friend to keep the bottle away from his lunchbox which Taiki sighed seeing that despite the time have passed, Tagiru is still the same as before, though he did matured a bit but still acts goofy at times, though he is glad that none of his friends suffered any major damage during their battles ranging from Bagramon and his Bagra Army up to defeating Quartzmon.

"At least they didn't suffer any injuries during our battle at the Digital World...and I'm glad these two are doing well..."

After several minutes, Taiki had to break up the scuffle as lunchtime is over and urged both Tagiru and Yu to "knock it off" and head back to their classrooms to resume classes, and as the trio head back, Yu smacked Tagiru on the head for trying to place mayonnaise on his lunch without his consent even though Tagiru insisted that the food would still be good if "laced" with mayonnaise.

KA-PLAG!

"OW! THAT HURTS! WHAT WAS THAT FOR, YU?"

""WHAT WAS THAT FOR"? I HAD TO EAT MY LUNCH EVEN THOUGH YOU POURED HALF OF THE BOTTLE OF MAYONNAISE ON IT EVEN WHEN I SAID "NO"!"

"But you did ate it...and it shows that you enjoyed it..."

"I DID NOT!"

"Did too..."

"DID NOT!"

"Did too..."

"DID NOT!"

Two months later...

Taiki, Yu and Tagiru have graduated junior high and are now ready to go to senior high and the trio went to the nearest school that is near their homes, and found their ideal school where they can still go there together with the intent of forming a team while joining their new school's basketball club, and after attending the school: Shinonome West Senior High School.

After applying there by taking the entrance test, the trio passed and now they are attending the school and during the first month they fitted in well, and have no problem adjusting, and after a few weeks, they managed to adjust well and their records went clean as in the course of the next few months the trio reached their respective birthdays and they are now aged 16, and though their heights improved a bit, they still resembled junior high students.

Soon it was summer vacation and the trio decided to take a break and are meeting at the Clock Store, where the Clock Store Owner calls them and told them that their Digimon partners, Shoutmon, Damemon, and Gumdramon have arrived, after settling some "Digimon business" at the Digital World, and the trio are reunited with their partners.

"Shoutmon!"

"Taiki!"

"Damemon!"

"Yu!"

"Gumdramon!"

"Tagiru!"

"Good to see you again!"

"How are you doing!"

"Great that you came back!"

"We missed you!"

"We settled the problem there and now we have free time!"

"Let's spend time together!"

The Clock Store Owner smiled seeing that despite two years have passed, Taiki, Yu and Tagiru are still the same yet slightly matured to a point where they showed no signs of letting success went to their heads and tells the trio and their Digimon partners that more challenges are heading their way and that they may at one point reached a situation where they might get a taste of their first setback though Tagiru assured that it won't happened.

Summer vacation...

As Taiki is spending time with his family, Yu went to Hong Kong to visit his sister Nene because of her job as a pop idol, Tagiru is now on his own, and takes up a part-time job as an errand boy of a neighbor and friend, named Mori, who owns a video game shop that sells and rent video games, and though the pay is not that high, it was enough for him to get a month's allowance, with Gumdramon tagging along, disguised as a human wearing hip-hop attires that would make him pass up as a human civilian.

"Good timing, Tagiru! You're as early as a bird!"

"Morning, Mori...I came as promised...and I'd do anything to earn a Yen..."

"That's the spirit! And as promised, if your deliveries are delivered on time, and earned a lot...I'll let you play games here for free...up to two hours only..."

"Sure...you can count on me!"

"Here...deliver this to a customer...and here's the item...and the address..."

"Okay...got it..."

"Now get going..."

"See you later!"

As Tagiru is leaving the shop, located at the basement of a local mall, he instructs Gumdramon to head for the Akashi house to fetch his wallet which he forgotten at home much to the Digimon's chagrin, chastising him for being so forgetful, yet the Digimon does as he is told, and Tagiru heads out to his next destination, unaware that his "next adventure" is about to take place in a way that he doesn't expect.

To Be Continued…

Hope you like the opening chapter...and though it's quite different from what you expect, rest assured that the story would stay through in the spirit of Digimon...but I would like to show you what lies ahead for the Xros Heart Team after defeating both the Bagra Army and Quartzmon, and how the challenges would affect the trio and their Digimon partners.

But still, this fic is geared towards Tagiru and will show you what challenges lie ahead for him and how this would affect him and his Digimon partner as well as his friends. In the next chapters you will soon see what I mean...

Preview:

While Gumdramon is retrieving his partner's wallet, Tagiru gets embroiled in an unexpected situation where he stumbles upon a murder scene, and then gets in to a LIFE AND DEATH situation when he realized that he is in a midst of a terrorist act where a vital secret is needed to be sent to the Japanese Diet to uncover a government conspiracy and he is marked as a target.

This is where Tagiru's "adventure" commences...
