Altered Rules

Chapter 1

Prologue

EBEMON – Extraterrestrial Biological Entity Monster

Ebemon studied his test experiments. They were all developing quickly and throughly. As he studied them, the three captured tamers reminded him of his own life. He was trying to get his revenge back on the human Izzy when he was captured by some humans from the U.S. Taken to a place he later learned to be Area 51, he was tested and studied. The humans weren't exactly the smartest however. They showed him the technology that made Area 51 such a big secret. The humans could never figure out what it was, but he knew in an instant.

It was a Chromodigizoid that was legendary. A Digizoid that modified a digimon and evolved them to the next stage. He knew the power it contained. Before he could get to it, the humans started to try and manipulate him for their own use. Trying to take his knowledge so that they could become more powerful.

They were fools though, underestimating him and his will. He was able to trick them into letting him study the Digizoid. Before they knew what he was doing, he absorbed it and destroyed the entire base, and fled back to the Digiworld.

He had been in the human lab for over eighteen months at that point, and he caught up on the news. MaloMyotismon had been defeated by the digi-destined. He had thought of going and destroying the destined right then and their, but decided that they wouldn't suffer enough.

He continued to travel trying to think of a way to make the destined suffer unimaginably. In his travels he heard of the tamers who defeated the d-reaper. It made him curious, and as he was looking into these tamers, he got his idea for his revenge, but he would need experiments first.

The tamers were his experiments. He had easily captured each of them. Takato had fell for his trap with the open digiport, going into it and into Ebemon's hands. Then he caught Henry and Suzie through the older tamers digimon game, preying on their want to see their digimon again. He hadn't intended for Suzie to come, but he decided that it worked out well anyways.

Rika was a bit harder and Ebemon had to capture Renamon before she would come. He then captured the other three tamers digimon with ease. He was more cautious now about his work though, since one of the digimon belonged to one of the sovereign, and he didn't believe he had the power to take them down quite yet.

Another side effect was that he had two of the Demon Lords after him. Not something he wanted, especially when one ruled the seas.

He stared at his three creations. What used to be Takato and Guilmon was now a creature he named Hazard. The boy's hair had stayed, while Guilmon's ears came off of his head just behind his goggles. His eyes had turned a blood red and the Hazard sign was on his forehead. His clothes had turned to a red t-shirt with the Hazard sign on it. His pants became a shadow black while his skin became Hazard red. His legs stayed mostly the same except for the tail that followed him. His hands had become like Guilmon's claws, with the Hazard on them and black circles above the red skin.

Suzie was progressing along as well. Her skinned had turned to the same brown as Lopmon's, and she had three horns protruding out of her head. Two thick pink strips ran from her mouth to her ears. Around her neck her skin had turned to a pink collar and her pink circle wrapped around her ankles. Her hands were the only other place that was pink as well instead of brown.

He looked to the left at the last glass tube where his last creation stood. The Ice Queen had her face elongated out a little bit to about half the shape of Renamon's. Her ears became a kitsune's and stretched back behind her head through her long hair. On her hands she wore the fox's gloves, and out of her shoulder blades red fur jabbed out. She still had on her broken heart t-shirt, and below her waist was covered in a red fur, and her feet were the same as Renamon's. The same symbols marked here red furred legs as was on Renamons.

He grinned as he looked over to see Henry in the Dream Reader and smiled. With these creations, he was going to enjoy his revenge against digi-destined.

He sat back and watched the Dream Reader work. It was his greatest invention, here he placed Henry in it, and his mind worked for Ebemon while it was in it's comatose state. This was to be the ultimate fate of Izzy. To lose his mind to Ebemon and work for him and against his friends. It was going to be fun.

Impmon sighed, he hadn't found any rumor or anything about where everybody was and it was starting to bother him. He went into the inn he was at. "One room." he said.

The Monzeamon spoke up, "50 bits please." Impmon handed it over, and the manager gave him his digicode to get into his room. He looked at the number, 113. The thirteenth room in first floor. He sighed and went over and sat down on a table. A Floramon came up to him, "and would can I get for you today?" she asked.

Impmon looked up, "A miracle." He said. The Floramon looked confused. "Just give me the stew and some bread." He told her. The Floramon nodded and went to get the food. Impmon leaned back when he saw something unusual. Their was a human sitting their with goggles on his head. Next to him were two digimon. An Agumon and a BlackAgumon. He listened in on their conversation."

"I thought dealing with the X racism was bad enough." Tai said.

"Add onto the fact that four human tamers have gone missing." Agumon said.

"Yeah, I know. I really need to take a break, We've been in this east quadrant for two months now. I really would like to see my little sister." he said.

Impmon noticed that the BlackAgumon wasn't talking much, and the mention of the boys little sister made Impmon think of his own tamers, and what he would do if they disappeared as well. It resolved his will a little bit in finding the others. The Floramon came back with his food. "Oh thanks." He said. He then asked her a question, "Can you tell me who that human and those digimon are over their?" he asked.

The Floramon smiled, "Obviously not from around here, are you?" Impmon shook his head. "The human over there is Tai Kamiya. He's Azulongmon's leader, a great tactician from what I've heard." she explained. " The Agumon is his own digimon he was given. A fatherly type of digimon that loves to play. The other Digimon most people just call Black. He's an unusual one."

"Unusual?" Impmon questioned.

"Rumor is that he's not a real digimon at all. He's really the BlackWarGreymon that was created out of spires and tried to destroy the digital world. I wouldn't believe it for second if I were you though."

"Why?" the virus asked.

"Ever since the anti-X radicals have been around, he's been their to help them." she explained, "he's a Vigilante, and an unusual one at that."

"Is everything about him unusual?"

"Well, I suppose. Get this, Tai there came here because he was looking for Black. He's got a mysterious past, but he does what is right." The Floramon said. Impmon handed here an extra 10 bits, and he watched Black as he sipped his drink, listening to Tai and Agumon talking, but still keeping an eye on the room. Impmon had no doubt Black had noticed him staring. Impmon finished his stew, and Black looked directly at him.

The stare down continued until Impmon smiled. "Vigilante, eh?" he said. He know Black couldn't hear him across the room, but the Dark digimon knew what he was saying. "Helping hand or trying to repent?" Impmon said. He got up and went to his room. Black's eyes continued to stare at the young virus until he went out of sight.

Black looked around the room. The Rookie was right, but Black had a feeling their was more to the Imp's life then what was going on. He decided to check it out and excused himself from the table. Tai watched him walk into the bed area. "What's Black up to?" Tai asked.

Agumon shrugged.

Betamon X: Alright, normally the chapters will be a bit longer, but this is just a prologue.

Gomamon: Also, other then two set couples, that's going to be pretty open ended. (The only reason for the set is because we owe somebody a pairing and theirs an odd pairing that we can't let go of.)

Betamon X: Cause it's so COOL!

So, if you want a coupling tell me, and tell me what you think should happen in the story. This is just the starters, so I hope it works out well. And for those of you reading my other story Dragon's Echo, this is just a side project to let loose some creative juices every once in a while, I'll still be working on it.
