Digimon Legends

By Jason Winter

A new legacy.

A new Digital World.

A new team of chosen ones.

A new threat.

A new beginning…

The Northern Digital World

All was good. The Digimon had no problems, and lead lives of peace and happiness. They were ruled over by their Sovereign, a powerful Digimon by the name of Ebonwumon. Everything was at peace, and that was the way the Digiworld's inhabitants liked it.

Unfortunately, the peace and quiet was about to be totally shattered.

All of a sudden, horrible things started to happen, the nature of the world suddenly went chaotic. Places that were once nice and warm turned cold. The deserts were hit by many flash floods, and everywhere, volcanoes were popping up, and gigantic earthquakes tore through the ground.

Even worse, some Digimon that were close to the horrible disturbances were constantly phasing out, or even worse, deleted altogether. Something was NOT right, something was tearing the peaceful world apart.

Ebonwumon was frightened, he had no idea on what to do. He was powerless to stop this, whatever it was… He tried calming the denizens down, but there was no such luck. Some of them were even becoming angry and aggressive… This had never happened before. Something was horrendously wrong… And then, the source came and hit Ebonwumon, literally.

"You're a… You're a Digimon…" He groaned "Why are you… doing this?"

"Because I can, you old fool!" laughed a very evil and horrific female voice "I've been waiting for years to make my move, and now, I can, hahahaha…"

"You'll never get away with this… You witch…"

"Oh, but I already HAVE! Enjoy an eternity of pain and suffering. There's a new ruler to this world, and that is I, and my minions… Say goodnight!"

Suddenly, thousands of thorned vines grabbed ahold of Ebonwumon, smashing him to the ground repeatedly, before covering him entirely, the laughter of the evil creature drowning out his yells. And then he stopped. He wasn't dead, but he was now trapped and powerless.

And now, the Digital World had a new master… However, she had no intention to be seen, so she made herself invisible to the rest of the world, allowing her minions to do the dirty work…

However, Ebonwumon had a backup plan, just in case his world was ever in danger… Four eggs, and four control devices… Hidden in a secret shrine in the Digiworld… And now they glowed, and shot off to find their controllers… But they were not Digimon, no, they were not even from Digiworld, no, they were from the Real World.

The Real World - New York City, United States

A figure walked through the crowd, it wasn't very large at this time, but it would be bustling with people later in the day. He was listening to his headphones, and was singing the tune that was coming from them, a tune whose vulgarity factor was through the roof.

"Oh hmm hmm dada hmm dada hmm hmm…" he hummed to himself. The kid was around his late teens, medium-height, with dark brown hair under a baseball cap. He wore baggy pants, and a Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back t-shirt. His name was Jesse, but everyone called him Jay, because he watched WAY too much Kevin Smith movies for his own good. He had just come back from the video store, to take back Dogma, a movie he had just watched for the hundredth time.

Of course, today was not going to be Jay's lucky day… or, he wouldn't think so. He walked by an alley, and saw something odd, and continued past, but his mind registered and he backtracked. This was also because the music had gone all wacky when he had passed the alley. He walked into it, and there was an odd patch of swirling bright colors in front of him, and once again, his walkman was on the fritz.

"Whoa, trippin'…" he said, looking at the colors swirl around and around. He hit his walkman a few times, but nothing happened, something about this mess of color was, well… Screwing it up. Just as suddenly, it began to glow "What in the?!"

Suddenly, a red beam shot from the portal, blasting the CD player, and destroying the headphone cord. Suddenly, it warped and changed into a small white and red device, that looked like a cell phone without receiver or talk piece, and an LCD screen at the top. Jay looked at it in surprise, and that's when the portal suddenly grabbed him, and he began a fall through a mess of colors.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Los Angeles, California

Makeup, check. Black underwear, check. Black dress, check. Spiked collar, check. Black boots, check. She was ready to go out. Of course, she was only going out to buy some groceries for her mom, she hated going out, too many people. She was Karen, or as she was called by most people, Queen of the Freaks. Her hair was short and black, her raging green eyes looked around shiftily as she put on her black jacket and ran out the door. She also had a walkman, and put the headphones on and tuned in to eerie sounding tunes.

As she walked down the street, getting strange looks from people, she came to an alleyway, and ducked inside. This was her special shortcut to the store, it was nice and shaded from the sunlight… But when she was about halfway through, her walkman went nuts. She groaned, very unhappy with this event, but suddenly, her walkman was blasted with some sort of black light, and out came another cel like device, this one dark purple. And that's when she noticed the vortex, which sucked her in.

"WWWWHHHHHHOOOOAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Hokkaido, Japan

"There he is, after him!" came the yell of a policeman, they were right behind him, he was gonna get caught, he just knew it. His name was Seth, a guy who had come from the United States with his parents. Unfortunately, over the years, he became rebellious, and over more time, disowned. He was now a thief, and he had just stolen the prototype to a new type of cellular telephone. He ducked into an alley, but the cops would find him sooner or later, he was trapped. He sighed, his bluish green hair falling in his eyes, which suddenly caught something odd. He looked, to see a colorful swirly light.

"It's the cops, it's the cops…" he muttered to himself, until he figured out it wasn't. Curiously, he moved towards the light, but suddenly, the prototype phone he was holding was blasted by a beam, making it green, and slightly different looking. This freaked him out a little, but he got even more freaked when he was pulled into the swirling mess of colors.

"AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!"

Orlando, Florida

She shifted her glasses on her face and looked at the computer. She was replying to her e-mails, and deleting the junk from her inbox. Her long red hair was tied into a bun, her blue eyes were dimmed somewhat by her glasses. Her name was Monika, she was the biggest computer nerd in all of Orlando. She could make any program she wanted, including viruses, but she hated them, they were for idiots. Now that she was done, she was going to the computer store to get some new CD's to burn her new MP3s on. She took her wallet and her CD player and went downstairs and out the alleyway door. Of course, when she opened it, she never expected to see a vortex or her CD player turn into an odd pink cellular like device.

"What in the name of HTML?" she asked, but she wouldn't get to ask more when she was sucked into it.

"GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!"

The Digital World

Four vortexes suddenly opened in an abandoned temple, and there were four yells, two male, and two female. And then, 4 people were thrown out of the vortexes and onto the ground… The people just happened to be Jay, Karen, Seth, and Monica.

"What?"

"In?"

"The?"

"Heck?"

The four people's eyes met. And they stared… There was something familiar about each one… But what?
