Introduction

by Douglas J. Erholtz

Hi again. You probably know who I am, and if you don't, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Surprisingly, I'm still getting work. I'm in tri., just not as T.K. But I have recycled my "adult narrator all along T.K." voice for Daigo. To be fair, Lara's not in it, either. She's got a Union card, and this is a non-Union project.

What you're about to experience is a reboot of the fanfic that launched the career of DigitalCorp on this website. He's grown a lot as a writer, and after completing the success that was Digimon World Tour (over 13,000+ views!), he decided to reboot Digimon Savers International, and now, he's going all the way back to the beginning.

This rewrite will address two major issues with the original:

Yes, Magnamon is not the natural Ultimate-level form of Veemon. That is actually Paildramon. This will be fixed.

Yes, Ryo was involved a lot more before he just showed up in episode 46, all Biomerged and everything. When you think Ryo, you're going to be thinking Justin Timberlake. In other words, a douche.

This DSI will be easier to read and more streamlined. First off, no more separate files for MusicBreaks. They'll be integrated right into the chapters. Songs may be added as time goes on for dramatic purposes, and not just from the time period. You know how anime theme songs sometimes don't have anything to do with the show itself? At least, that's the case in Japan. If a song makes it big on the charts, you might hear it here. Now, don't get me wrong, our characters are not going to just break into song at the drop of a hat, for no reason.

In addition, some questionable dialogue may be removed, changed, or even added. Also, while the series will follow the English dub and will attempt to stay faithful to the original dialogue written, a line may be changed if necessary. Of course, the writer can't reveal all his secrets, now can he?

Speaking from personal experience, this is probably one of the hardest and most rewarding projects I've participated in, as were the other two. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Erholtz out.

A Statement

by Edward Jordan-Phillips

Hello. My name is Ed Jordan-Phillips. I was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. Yes, I am Caucasian, and I am African. I was cast for this role in Digimon Tamers International because having a Brit or Aussie character was considered cliché by the head writer. It seems that the rewrite of this fanfic is taking place in very interesting times for my country. The current President of the United States has proceeded to call my continent- apologies in advance for the language - a "shithole". This I will not condone.

Mr. President, South Africa has given a lot to your country. South African Lindsay Steventon developed the world's first software that has an image-based user interface enabling expert non-literate trackers to record complex geo-referenced observations on animal behaviour. It's been used to monitor gorillas in the Congo, snow leopards in the Himalayas, butterflies in Switzerland, the Sumatran rhino in Borneo, jaguars in Costa Rica, birds in the Amazon, wild horses in Mongolia, dolphins in California, marine turtles in the Pacific and whales in Antarctica. While working at Soweto's Baragwanath Hospital in 1965, South Africa's Dr Selig Percy Amoils unveiled the Amoils Cryo Pencil, which is the world's first surgical tool that uses extreme cold (nitrous oxide) to destroy unwanted tissue. Dr. Amoils' pencil has made retinal detachment surgery and cataract extraction simple and safe. When the Americans landed on the moon in 1969, Neil Armstrong and his team took a bit of South Africa with them - Pratley Putty - an insulator and adhesive agent developed by South African George Pratley in the 1960s. The exceptionally strong substance was used to keep parts of Apollo 11's landing vehicle stuck together and is the only South African product to have ever gone to the moon. Pratley Putty is used today in applications ranging from sealing work to gluing wood and metal together. Finally, in 2005, University of Johannesburg Physicist, Professor Vivian Alberts, developed solar power technology that uses a micro-thin metallic film instead of the much thicker and considerably more expensive silicon-based solar photovoltaic cells. The technology has made solar electricity in South Africa, and arguably the world, five times cheaper.

Without Africa, you wouldn't have rechargeable batteries for your phone. Most of the cobalt comes from the Congo. You wouldn't have coffee, as that came from Ethiopia. The Ishango bone may be the oldest table of prime numbers, and it was found on the border between Uganda and Zaire.

So before you start calling out our entire continent, think about what you wouldn't have if we didn't exist.

by Dave Wittenberg

Hello. I'm Dave Wittenberg, and I'm the voice of Henry Wong and Ebonwumon in this fanfic. While I claim Boston as my hometown, I was actually born in a very nice hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa; and not in the "shithole" you profess my country to be, President Trump.

I stand behind my birthplace and all the other countries in the great continent of Africa.
