This is the first time I am trying out a digimon fic. The main character is a self made character. I know many people dislike this but this is what I have been dreaming to do.

Disclaimer: Digimon is owned by whoever owned them. I know who but I cannot really spell his name. The character Helios however, is what I own. Don't sue me, I am really very poor.

Chapter 1: Beginnings

Pitch black. That's all the young man named Helios see as he woke up from a deep slumber. He felt pain all over his body. He cannot remember why he was here, how he arrived here and what had happened before. He swore a little as he tripped over his feet. This could not be helped as it was pitch black all over. He gave a bitter smile as he ponders over his situation. This was really liked his life, full of darkness and there was only one person who would cared for himself, that person is well, himself.

He had grown up without his parents. He did not know what had happened to them. All he knew was that they abandoned him. He would have died but a retired Mafia took him in. Surprisingly, that man was very kind to him. Not only he gave him a place to stay, but he had taught him martial arts as well. He really enjoyed the time with that old man but unfortunately, he died of old age. Then, he was alone again. He was only eight when he had to live on the streets to survive.

He did well to survive. It had already been eight years since that time. It also had been eight years since he felt anything. He was too busy to stay alive in the streets than to think and wallow himself up in self-pity. Everyday was different to him. Fighting irritating bullies and petty gangsters. He had to run many times as well as he would be outnumbered by a ridiculous ratio of 1: 15. He could not understand what those morons were so worked up about. They were afraid of the strong and would always bully the weak. The old man told him these types of people are a disgrace to the male species and he cannot agree more to that.

Helios shook his head violently to try to snap out of his thoughts. He could not understand why he was having these thoughts. He had never had them before. He gave a wry smile at his own stupidity again. He never had these thoughts before was because he never had time for them. Immediately after this thought, Helios frowned. What was this place that was driving him crazy and making him having such thoughts? Suddenly, his muscles became very tense and he could felt his mind screaming like mad. This was his martial artist instinct, telling him that someone or something powerful was coming towards him and whatever this thing was, it was not alone.

Helios turned slowly in all directions to try to make out where this powerful being was.

Helios ' I must be more crazy and stupid then I think I am. What can I see in such darkness and what can I do even if I see it? Scream and cower in fear?'

Helios " Okay! Whatever your are, just come out! If you have something to say to me,

then do it with me face to face. No damn use for hiding like a turtle."

? " Hey! I resent that!"

? " Yeah! That's right!"

Helios spurned around to the direction of the voices. Strangely, these two voices seemed to come from the same place and from the same being.

? " Well boy, we are in front of you and you still cannot see us? You must be blinder than we though!"

? " I cannot agree more! Well, boy? Can you see us?"

Helios tried his best to see whatever was in front of him. However, it was to no avail as all he could see was darkness.

? " Well boy, I guess you can use some help."

A sudden flash appeared in front of Helios's eyes. It forced him to cover his eyes with his hands. After all, he was in the dark for very long and his eyes could not withstand sudden and bright, flashing lights.

? " Put away your hands from your eyes boy. You can see now."

Helios did as he was told. He was shock by the amazing scenery before him. The word 'shock' was not enough to describe his feelings towards this amazing place. Unlike the busy streets filled with vehicles, buildings, foul gases and people, this place he was in was liked a tropical haven. He could see beautiful green all over the place. Trees were growing everywhere in large numbers. Every single inhale he had was filled with fresh, pure oxygen and it was very refreshing to him. He could even see the bright blue skies above him. This place was the heaven of the green plants. However, when he saw the figure in front of him, he felt his jaw dropped.

? " Well boy, you do not need to open your jaws liked that. It is not like I am a attractive woman."

? " Shut up you fool. The kid is surprised at how we look!"

? " Hey, I can joke can't I?"

Helios could not say a word as the two heads of this thing in front of him continued to argue. He thought he had seen weird stuff but this was ridiculous. A gigantic creature that looked liked a turtle was in front of him. On the shell, it had a huge tree growing on it. It made it looked pretty stupid. Furthermore, the two heads looked a crossbreed of something of a turtle head and a snake head. The worst thing was that it was quarreling liked a married couple. Helios grabbed his head in frustration. What had he done to deserve this?

Helios " …… What the hell are you?"

The two heads stopped bickering with each other and turned to look at Helios. They were inspecting him as both heads looked up and down of Helios. Then at the same time, they made a statement.

? " You dressed like a stupid fool!"

Helios smacked his hand on his face as the thing in front of him laughed. This thing in front of him was acting like a little child and a pair of old bickering couple. Muttering a curse word, he tried his question again.

Helios " What are you?"

The two heads of the thing stopped their laughing and turned to look at him. This time, they had a serious look on their faces. It was only now that Helios could feel an aura of supreme in this thing. The two heads talked at the same time this time.

? " We are Ewanbumon, the digital guardian of the northern quadrant of the digital world."

Helios " Digital what?"

Ewanbumon-sigh- " The digital world. You do know about digimon don't you boy?"

Helios " What the hell is digi…… wait. You don't mean those stuff on the monster attack is real don't you?"

Ewanbumon " We boy, is an example of what you call monster. However, the term is digital monster or digimon."

Helios " Whatever. Why the hell did you sent me here? I have nothing to do with this digimon stuff."

Ewanbumon " For your first question, we did not sent you here. It was those digimon that were suffering sent you here. For the second question, you do have something to do with digimon. Remember the time where you got caught in the fight between two digimon?"

Helios "……" ' Hell yeah. How can I forget? It nearly killed me.'

Ewanbumon " As you witness that battle, you are bonded to digimon in some way."

Helios " What way?"

Ewanbumon " Not even us know boy. Anyone who witnesses digimon battle during the age of innocence would become digidestinied. However, that did not happen to you."

Helios ' Well I know. This 'age of innocence' was when I started my life on the streets' " Well, if you mean those few kids that run around with digimon, I rather not be them."

Ewanbumon " Whatever you say boy. However, it was because of this unique quality that makes you suitable for a job that none of those children can fit in."

Helios " Go on. I am still listening."

Ewanbumon " This job, is to liberate the virus type digimon from oppression of vaccine and data type."

Helios " You want me to liberate those guys? You must be kidding. I cannot even take care of myself and you expect me to do such a difficult task?"

Ewanbumon " True. You cannot take care of yourself but you have no choice. It is not we whom have chosen you. It was those viral digimon that had called for you for such a task."

Helios " They…… called for me?"

Ewanbumon " Exactly boy. During that battle there must be something that made you special that the viral digimons like you."

Helios " They called for me as in out loud?"

Ewanbumon " No. They called for you without knowing it. Their soul called for you."

Helios " This guys…… have souls?"

Ewanbumon " That is correct boy. We digimon like human, have emotions, feelings and soul. Even those hardest to deal with digimon have them. Know this boy, there is no evil digimon. There is only digimon with different views. That is why I never interfere with anything about evil digimon unless there is absolute necessity. Unfortunately, the viral digimons were the ones usually causing trouble."

Helios " Then why is it that you want me to liberate those guys? From what I've heard so far, it seems that they were what you good guys called evil-doers."

Ewanbumon ' I guess that is why the viral digimons called for him. His way of thinking is very different from other children that were chosen as digidestinied.'

" Well boy, we are talking about a different quadrant here. This quadrant that those viral digimon is calling you to is different from ours. It is a whole new one, where other types of digimon oppress them."

Helios " Let me get this straight. I have to liberate a bunch of viral digimon from the on so powerful and popular data and vaccine digimon?"

Ewanbumon " Yes, that is right. However, that is of a different dimension we are talking about."

Helios " Whatever. Let's see…… I don't even have a so call partner. How the hell am I supposed to live through this? I am pretty sure that those digimon won't mind ripping me into shreds."

Ewanbumon " No worries boy. Whatever will be, will be. Besides, I am sure your skills in martial arts can match up till a weak Champion level digimon. Also, you are very good in running away, aren't you?"

Helios ' Why do I have a queer feeling that he is insulting me?' " Well, I am sure I am good at running and fighting against human beings but digimon?"

Ewanbumon-laughing- " You will do fine boy. I am very sure that you can run from weak champion and nearly all rookie digimon. I can bet on it with my position as the guardian of the northern quadrant."

Helios " Well whatever. When can I start?" ' Well…… I guess I'm crazy. His words are not even assuring……"

Ewanbumon-surprised- " You are not going to give it a second thought?" 'This lad is braver than I thought.'

Helios " No. I guess even if I have, it is useless. Something about fate I guess…… Can't run from it even if you try. I guess I will try to treat this like a journey of life or something like that. Besides, I hate anything or anyone that try to oppress others." ' Damn right about that. I guess no one should suffer oppression like I did during my kiddy age.'

Ewanbumon " Fine. I am impressed by your courage. Either that or you are very stupid. Whatever it is, see you when your job is done boy."

Helios " Wait. Before you do anything, how do I know my job is complete?"

Ewanbumon-laughing- " By that time boy, you would know it when the time comes."

Helios " The last thing I need to ask. Can you stop calling me boy?"

Ewanbumon " No. Compare to me, you are but a boy. Enough chatter, see you after you have completed your job.

With that, Helios started to disappear slowly. First his black boots disappear from view. The disappearing act continued up his black jeans till his chest that had a black shirt and black coat over it. It then traveled up his face and it was not long that the figure of Helios disappeared entirely from view.

Ewanbumon Left Head " Do you think he will be able to survive that quadrant?"

Ewanbumon Right Head " I do not know. That boy is very unique. I cannot tell which path would he choose."

Ewanbumon Left Head " I think we can only believe in him. You do know who his partner would be don't you?"

Ewanbumon Right Head " I have a rough idea who it would be. However, even his number of partners is an uncertainty."

Ewanbumon Left Head " You are right. He is truly unique. He might actually be the one as mentioned in the Prophecy of the Apocalypse."

Ewanbumon Right Head " It is not might. He is the one who would play that part together with many others. However, he would have to pass this first."

Ewanbumon Left Head " You are right. However, I have faith in that boy. I have a feeling that he would return as a man."

Ewanbumon Right Head " As do I in that believe. He would be fine."

End of Chapter 1

Well, that is about much of the first story. Sorry if you don't like my self created character Helios. His unique personality would be revealed slowly in the story. He would also grow into a person whom I believe that is what a true man should have in his personality. The last thing is that ALL partners of Helios are virus type digimon. If not, this story will not be called Viral Liberation. I would apologize to those who think that Ewanbumon is OOC. Many other virus digimon that would appear in my story might be OOC as well. Anyway, R&R is welcome and I am mentally prepared to receive flame.
