Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon: Digital Monster or any related brand and names. I created some Digimons present in this work of fiction, but I created them based on concepts present in the show and others. I am doing this for fun and do not get any profit from it, please don't sue me I got nothing anyway.

The Net, the Web, no matter how you call it, it is now an important part of our everyday life. All over the world thousands of millions of kilobytes of data are transmitted, downloaded or uploaded everyday, if not every hour. But few know the impact it had on the nature of the universe itself. By a strange phenomenon the exchange of data gave birth to an entire universe, a strange world entirely Digital, and yet separate from the normal net. It is a wild world where the strong defeat the weak to become stronger, it is also a world were the smart unite and the good help others. Time is of a diferent essence in this universe and already, thousands of years of evolution have pass and an entire History was created. Few are those aware of it's existance, they can be barely counted on the fingers of one's hands.
Altough that world is unknown to the humans, it affect their world in radical way. The Digital World's existance is linked to the magnetic field of the Earth, any radical change will interfere with electronic devices as well as the weather of the world and even the attitude of certain animals. Unaware of it's existance, nobody know of the creeping darkness that will soon endangers the two worlds...
The Net might be based on the principle of information gathering and exchange, but it is not a perfect place. Just like the Real World there is both good and evil people. Predators search the Web for easy prey, dangerous criminal prepare terrifying crimes and hackers run rampant like pirates on the seven seas!
Spawned by one of them, a data deleting shadow is crawling, eating all it finds on it's way, leaving only corrupted data in it's wake. This darkness is small but ferocious and soon grows bigger and badder...then it happened...
Another strange event, a malicious twist of destiny, space and time made the two separate layer of the net collide. In the middle of a clear blue sky above a wonderful green plain a large dark portal burst open, zeros and one exploding out and raining like number shaped meteorite and soon...a dark form emerged from the portal as well. It felt to the ground like a shapeless mass of black paste. The grass all around it started to die off as the form started to take a shape... soon, a figure rose from the ground, the Digital Sun shining brightly behind it's darkness.
"I...live." It stated.
To Be Continued...
AN: Here it is, Key to the Future is back. I pulled this fic out of the digital moth ball and decided to take another crack at it! Here's to hoping I can pull this off ^^;; If you've read this fic in the past you'll quickly realise I changed a few things.
