Chapter one: Gaomon and the Digital World
"Finally! A weekend off school..." I said in relief as I fell onto my bed. Then I unlocked my IPad mini and went onto Digimon Links, an app that you can interact, battle and raise Digimon. I've always been a fan of the original Digimon series, don't get me wrong, I like the new Digimon series too because their so creative with the storylines and they also introduce new Digimon that are pretty cool and amazing, but I grew up with the original, can't really blame me for that right? However, little did I know that the moment I opened that app, it would change the lives of all the users of it, including mine. "What are we going to do today-! Hey, the screen is getting too bright... Looks like I gotta dial it down a little bit." I tried to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get the brightness dial, but it didn't work. Then the screen went back to normal and at the start menu. "Huh, that as weird... Oh well. Let's get this show on the road!" I said as I tapped the start button, which made the screen go really bright again, blinding me. The next thing I knew, I was surrounded by a lot of people on a transparent platform.
"Hey, what's going on?"
"Where are we?" I heard people clamour.
"Ah, looks like that's everybody." An old man projected onto the screen in front of us. "Welcome, Digi-Destines of the new era. I am Nimu, the supervisor of the Digital World." Then the old man transformed into an little kid in green. "I'm pretty sure you guys are wondering," he then transformed into a guy with spiky blue hair and grey clothes. " 'What am I doing here?' " he transformed yet again into a young girl with a pink Bandana wrapped around her neck. "Right? Well, the reason is simple." Nimu then transformed into a boy with a blue shirt and goggles on his head. "You guys have to save the Digital World from deletion." Then Nimu transformed into another kid in a grey school uniform and straight blue hair. "Don't worry though, you will each be given a partner that specifically fits your interests." Then Nimu transformed yet again to a girl in a pink hat. "Now let's go fight fight fight!" She said as we all fell through the floor.
"I didn't hear anything about this!" I yelled as I fell through the blinding portal under me. The next thing I knew, I was in a crater surrounded by what seemed to be mountains. "Where am I?" When I looked around my surroundings, then up at the sky, which had huge data clouds reading zeros and ones. "... Well this is interesting. Ah! If I'm in where I think I am, the Digital World, then close by should be my partner." I concluded. "Looks like they gave me a survival pack." I said as I gathered my belongings. Then after I got all my things, (a weird watch and a pair of googles) I went to the top of the mountain to get a good view of my surroundings.
"Hold it right there damn it!" I heard a voice yell at me from behind. "What do you think you're doing here damn it?!" Then I turned around and saw a small blue wolf standing on his hind legs, and wearing red boxing gloves and a red headband.
"Seeing the view?" I tried to sound inconspicuous.
"Really? Well I don't believe you damn it!" The blue wolf told me. Then my watch went off beeping. "I knew it, you're one of the humans damn it!"
"Do you really 'damn it' at the end of everything you say?" I asked him.
"Don't change the subject damn it! It sounds cool damn it!" He said. 'But you sound so much like a damn chinobouyou...' I thought. I then checked my watch to stop the beeping, but when he caught me not paying in the middle of his explanation of why he says 'damn it', he threw rocks at me and yelled, "Pay attention damn it!" '*Sigh* This is going to be a long day...' Nearly halfway through his explanation, I heard his stomach growl so loud it probably echoed through the mountains.
"Break time?" I asked him.
"... I'm not hungry damn it." The wolf told me before another large growl came from his stomach.
"Yeah... Sure you are." I told him as I pressed the top right button on my watch labeled, food, and a lunch box materialized above my watch. "Want some?" I offered some of my food to him.
"Just a nibble, a warrior must not give in to their stomachs damn it." The wolf told me. Turned out it wasn't just a nibble, more like half of the food in the lunch box. While we ate, we introduced ourselves to each other. I told him that my name was Asta (the only name that would come out of my mouth) and he told me his name was Gaomon.
Gaomon, a small wolf type Digimon with a big heart to help those in need. Try not to get on his bad side though, his Gao Rush is sure to send you flying!
"Do you have a partner yet damn it?" Gaomon asked me.
"No." I answered Gaomon.
"Well, guess help it, damn it." Gaomon sighed.
"Help what?" I asked Gaomon.
"I'll be your partner damn it!" Gaomon announced.
"Huh? Really? You want my partner?" I asked Gaomon surprised.
"Take it of leave it kid, it's that simple damn it." Gaomon told me.
"O-okay, sure. Pleased take care of me." I took up on Gaomon's offer.
"Like wise damn it." Gaomon said to me, while looking towards the mountains.
"Well, might as well set up camp." I told Gaomon.
"Then follow me damn it. I know place you can rest for the night damn it." Gaomon motioned for me to follow him. 'Well whadaya know, he's actually being nice.' I thought. When we reached the destination, it was a secret entrance to a small, but cozy cave with a small fire place and makeshift bed on the ground made out fresh leafs and a ripped up old cloth that was big enough for a blanket.
"Wow, nice place you got here Gaomon." I complemented Gaomon's home.
"I know damn it." Gaomon said with a small grin on his face. While I looked around, Gaomon tried to start a fire with two stones. Which he had trouble with because of his gloves. "Come on damn it! Work!"
"Need some help with that?" I asked Gaomon.
"... You give it a try damn it." Gaomon said as he dropped the stones to my feet. 'Touché Gaomon, touché.' I thought as I started the fire and got ready for bed.
"*yawn* Well, I'm going to bed." I told Gaomon, who was staring into the fire sadly. "Gaomon~. Hey Gaomon! Oi!" I tried to get Gaomon's attention, but I was ignored. Then I gently threw one of the rocks at Gaomon's arm.
"What do you want damn it?!" Gaomon yelled at me with anger.
"You look sad, wanna talk about it?" I asked him.
"... Maybe some other time kid. Just get some sleep, we're getting up early in the morning." Gaomon continued to look into the fire.
"You know, you're going to wreck your eyes if you keep staring into the fire like that." I told Gaomon.
"Just sleep... Please, I beg you." Gaomon started to cry. 'Even though he puts up a tough front, deep down, he's just as broken as me.' I thought. Then I got up, grabbed Gaomon, made him sit down beside me and wrapped him in the blanket. "What are you doing damn it?!" Gaomon tried to fight me off.
"It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you, just get some sleep, you need it as much as me." I told Gaomon. Then I started to talk about my life (funny parts) so that Gaomon could fall asleep with a smile on his face, and when he did, I followed a few minutes later. "See you in the morning." I told him as I fell asleep.
