This idea has been lying around my brain for a while, and I finally decided to write it. It's not that good if you ask me, but I hope you all like it!

Chapter One-Dawn of a new day.
A boy sat in his room, working on his computer. His screen showed a private chat box, where two others were also talking. He seemed focused on completing what it was they were doing. A faint smile graced the boy's lips as his friend put up a download link to the game they had created together.
Jeffery: I've uploaded the document. Click this link and download it, then tell me what you think.
Tristan: Okay, I will. It's almost midnight, though, so I'll tell you tomorrow.
Katrina: Oh well then. Night Tristan, night Jeffery.
He sighed as Katrina, the only female of the three, logged off of the chat, and then clicked the link. The download ran smoothly, going rather quickly due to his fast internet connection. However, something happened once his DigiSmart Antivirus software started scanning it.
"DigiSmart has encountered an error while scanning . System will now shut down." The popup on his screen read. The computer monitor then went blank, much to Tristan's shock. He attempted to turn it back on, but it just stayed blank.
"Damn it! Jeffery sent me a file with a god damn virus!" He growled. He knew that despite being friends, Jeffery wasn't exactly fond of him, but what had compelled him to completely destroy Tristan's computer? It stumped the younger boy, but he decided that sleeping would help calm him down from the rage he was in, so he climbed into bed, not bothering to change out of his school clothes.
The next morning was no better than the night before. Not long after he had woken up, Tristan's mother had gone crazy at him for breaking the only computer in the house, and his younger brother accused him of stealing one of his video games. To add insult to injury, he had been sent off to buy the groceries in complete and utter disgrace. Only a few steps out of the door, and Tristan found himself on the ground, a tiny weight on his stomach. He looked down and gasped at the unusual sight. There, sitting on his stomach, was a tiny blue creature with thick fur coating its body, golden eyes, and three red dots on its forehead. It stared up at him, eyes gleaming, and then let out a squeal. It jumped off of him and darted off, attempting to catch up with an orange blur in the distance.
"That was weird…" Tristan muttered to himself. "I wonder what the hell that thing was. It didn't look natural. Ah well, I better go get the groceries before I get yelled at again…"
"Okay son, that comes to $5.60." The shop worker drawled, putting Tristan's shopping into a bag and handing it to him. Tristan pulled out his money and handed it to the worker, then took his change and bag.
"Thanks." He said, walking out of the store. Of course, his terrible luck kicked in again, and he almost got ran over by a police car on his way out. He turned to look, and saw that an area of the city was completely cut off by police tape, with multiple people being held back by officers. Tristan cocked his head in confusion, and then darted over to the scene, hiding behind a tree. A young woman with deep pink hair walked over to the head officer and began talking to him. Tristan saw this as a chance, and darted past the police tape, into the scene of crime. There were around thirteen bodies, all unconscious, lying on the ground. 'Was there a murder? No, it couldn't have been. They're not dead, just unconscious.'
"Hey, you! What do you think you're doing here? This is my territory, the territory of the great Marcus Damon!" Somebody yelled from nearby. Tristan jumped up, only to realise that he wasn't the one being spoken to. There, on a raised up area of the park, was a teenage boy, his fist raised to what appeared to be an orange frog crossed with a dinosaur.
"Your territory? I highly doubt it is! I'll fight you for it!" The frog monster yelled, charging towards him. The boy ran forward, and their fists connected with each other's faces. The two flew back, landing on the ground.
"Unfair! I wasn't ready!" The boy yelled. He got back up and dashed towards the frog, only to receive a swift kick between the legs. The fight continued for a while, with Tristan staring intently at them, until he heard a small squeal from the bushes, and the sound of footsteps behind him. He darted towards the sound in fear, and found himself covering the mouth of the tiny blue creature that had tackled him earlier.
"You again?" He asked, looking down at it and taking his hand from its mouth. It done the closest thing it could do to a nod, then flicked its tail towards the two fighters. He could see the woman from before watching them, and then noticed that the fight was over, and the two of them were lying beside each other on the ground, talking to each other.
"If your little talk is over, I'll be taking Raptor One, thank you very much." The pink-haired woman that had been watching them said. "And while I'm at it, I'll take that unknown Digimon, too. I know you're there, kid, so come out and hand over the Digimon. If you don't, I'll be forced to arrest you for disobeying the law."
"I'm not here! Nobody's here!" Tristan yelled back from the bushes. The creature he was holding, a Digimon from what he had gathered, sighed and shook its head at him. The two found themselves being dragged out from the bushes by her, still sitting down. "O-okay, maybe somebody was in the bushes. How weird, huh?" He stammered. Once again, the Digimon sighed at his actions.
"Well then, it seems I'll just have to take them by force. Lalamon, realize!" She called, holding up a strange device. A stream of pixels flew from it, then materialized into a small pink and green creature that somewhat resembled a plant.
"Lalamon~." It sang as it appeared. It was completely expressionless, and its mouth didn't move when it spoke. It was weird, to say the very least. It suddenly turned to them and glared. "Seed Blast!" It yelled, firing a long stream of seeds at them. Tristan quickly jumped out of the way, pulling the Digimon with him. He glared at them, picked up the Digimon and ran as fast as he could. Even if it meant he was disobeying the law, he wasn't about to hand it over. This creature felt incredibly familiar to him, although he had no clue as to why that was. After about ten minutes of running, he realised he wasn't being followed.
"That crazy lady and her mutated plant must be following that weird guy and Mr Dinosaur. What great luck we have, right?" Sang the Digimon he was holding. "Although I would really and truly feel bad if they hurt Mr Dinosaur, I would. He was protecting me from those bad people, he was."
"Wait, you can talk, too? That's cool. So, I guess I'll be taking care of you now, at least until that crazy woman hunts us down. I'm Tristan Verity, and you are?" Tristan asked, placing the Digimon, who he assumed was female because of her voice, on a bench.
"I'm Splashimon, an In-Training level Aquan Digimon of the Virus attribute. It's nice to finally meet you, my creator!" She laughed, tackling his chest and snuggling close to him.
"Your creator? What do you mean by that? I've never created anything, unless you count my virtual pet…" He muttered in reply.
"That's exactly it! I'm the creature you created using that weird drawing software! You're sure lucky your computer got a virus, because I wouldn't be here right now if it didn't!" Tristan tilted his head, blinking at her in shock. He never actually expected a virus to be a good thing, but it appeared it was. Now that he knew that this Digimon, Splashimon, was a creature that he had put his own time and effort into creating, he refused to hand her over to that crazy woman. After what felt like a few minutes of talking, he looked to the sky and realised just how late it was. He was going to be in so much trouble when he got home.
"Stop right there, kid! Don't even bother trying to run away from us this time, because we'll take that illegal Digimon whether you like it or not!" Before he could even react, he felt a hand on his shoulder. The woman from before was standing over him, holding his shoulder with an iron grip. "Pick up the Digimon, stand up and come with me. The faster you move, the less chance that idiot has to run off."
"If I come with you, you won't hurt Splashimon, right? Because if you will hurt her in any way, I won't come." He growled, picking Splashimon up and holding her close to his chest. The small blue fuzz ball glared at her, snarling slightly and puffing up her fur.
"Look, we're not going to hurt that Digimon. We'll just run some tests, and when we're done, you can take it. That is, if you'll join our organisation. Now let's go before that idiot breaks my car door." She replied, leading him along. When they made it to her car, he saw the boy from earlier inside, slumped against the door. The woman gave him a questioning look as she opened it, as if asking why he hadn't broken it down, or even tried to.
"I tried, but gave up after I realised it wouldn't break." He said with a smirk as Tristan was forced into the seat next to him. A sigh came from the front seat, and they started moving down the road towards a large building.
"We're here. Get out of my car, and don't you dare break anything." The woman snapped as they pulled up near a warehouse. The two boys exited the car, being incredibly careful. Tristan was utterly terrified of this 'crazy lady', and he knew that the other boy was, too. The four of them made their way to the building, stopping briefly when Tristan tapped the woman on the shoulder.
"Hey, where did that weird plant thing that was with you go?" He asked timidly. Instead of replying, she simply held up the device from before and pointed the screen at them. They could see the small creature inside, sleeping and completely ignoring the world around it. She then put it away and turned around, signalling them to follow. They entered the building and walked down a long hall, stopping at a large sliding door. The woman placed her hand on a panel next to it and it slid open, allowing them to enter. A small turtle wearing a camouflage-print helmet walked over to them as soon as they went in, and offered them tea with a goofy grin on his face. Tristan looked at the woman who had brought him here, as if asking permission to take a cup.
"Go ahead. The tea he makes is pretty good, considering it's made by a turtle." She chuckled, taking her own cup. He took her word for it and took a cup, taking a long drink of the liquid inside. He smiled, both at the taste of the tea and the fact that this was the only thing he had drank since this morning. While he was drinking, the woman picked up Splashimon and walked towards a room.
"Hey, leave her alone!" He yelled, attempting to dash towards her.
"Stay here, son. She's just going to run a few tests on that unknown Digimon, and then you can have it back, as long as you're willing to join DATS." A soft voice said from behind him. He saw a large man sitting behind a desk, a white ferret wrapped around his neck. Tristan sat down on a seat next to Marcus, who was being held down by two small people in suits of armour.
"So, if I join this DATS thing, I'll get to keep Splashimon, right? Well, I'll join, as long as you answer a few questions for me. One, is this some illegal drug dealing organisation or something?
"No, DATS is not a drug dealing organisation." The ferret said.
"Two, are there working hours, and if so, what are they?"
"DATS has no working hours, but you're required to be available whenever possible in case of attacks!" A woman from half way across the room called. "I'm Miki, by the way, and she's Megumi!"
"Well, that's nice to know. Three, what exactly do I have to do if I join, and what the hell are these Digimon things?" Tristan asked.
"If you join, you'll have to help with attacks from wild Digimon. Digimon are creatures from a world very different from our world, but incredibly close at the same time." The man behind the desk explained. "Also, if you join DATS, you will refer to me as sir. My name is Richard Sampson, head commander of the DATS Japanese branch."
"Well, you don't seem to be illegal, and since there's no working hours, I guess I'll join you. Thank you for having me." Tristan said with a smile, bowing in respect. At that moment, the doors leading to the room Splashimon had been taken into opened, and the woman walked out. She smiled at him and held out Splashimon for him to take. The tiny Digimon leapt out of her arms and tackled him down, squealing happily. He stood up, holding her close. The woman walked over and grabbed his free wrist, pressing a very dark blue version of the device she had used to store her plant creature before.
"That's your Digivice. It can be used to store and Digivolve your partner when required. It's an important piece of equipment for DATS tamers, so take care of it." She warned, walking towards where Marcus once sat. "My name is Yoshino, but you can just call me Yoshi. Everybody does, no matter how much I protest…"
"Sir, we're picking up a Digimon signal! All we can gather is that it's a Champion level, if that helps at all!" Miki yelled.
"Don't tell me Raptor One has Digivolved. That would be the worst!" Yoshi cried. She then turned to where Marcus once sat, ready to give him an earful for how stupid he was, but he had vanished.
"Sorry, pal, but I have to go make sure that Agumon's safe. See ya later, people!" Marcus chuckled from the door. He darted out, followed quickly by Yoshi, who grabbed Tristan's wrist and pulled him after her.
Within around ten minutes, they had arrived at the scene of crime. What was once a hamburger stand was now a blazing fire, rising as high as some of the buildings surrounding it. If anything was actually in the blaze, it was completely impossible to see. There was a large tower not far away, and Tristan instantly noticed Marcus running towards it. He gave chase, Yoshi and Splashimon not too far behind. The three of them sprinted up the stairs, and stopped dead at the top. There was no sign of Agumon at all, much to everyone's shock.
"See, I told you something bad would happen if you didn't hand over Raptor One. But does anyone ever listen to me? No." Yoshi growled.
"Agumon wouldn't do this. I know he wouldn't!" Marcus yelled. He darted to the elevator, smashing against the button that would take him to the bottom. Tristan managed to pick up Splashimon and force himself in just before the doors started to close, but Yoshi wasn't so lucky and ended up being left behind.
"You two are so dead when I get down there! Just you wait!" She growled, darting down the stairs. She stopped half way down at the sound of a screech and saw a giant bird in the blaze, roaring and screaming. It was clearly a Digimon, and an angry one at that.
"That's Kokatorimon, a Champion level bird Digimon!" Megumi explained through Yoshi's earpiece. "He can't fly, but his body and legs are suited very well for living on the ground, and this one is larger than it should be! Even with his lack of flight, you'll still be at a disadvantage!"
Down on the ground, Marcus and Tristan had also spotted Kokatorimon. While Tristan had Splashimon to defend him, Agumon was missing, leaving Marcus defenceless. The two boys looked around for the small dinosaur, but couldn't find him anywhere due to the blaze.
"Boss! Boss, help me!" The voice of the young dinosaur came from nearby. He stumbled out from behind a building with a trash can on his head, flailing wildly. Marcus ran over to his partner, pulling the trash can from his head.
"Agumon, why did you move? I told you not to!" The furious teen yelled. Agumon looked up at him with a sad look in his eyes, whimpering slightly.
"I'm sorry, boss, I really am! I was just so hungry…" The little dinosaur whined. Marcus just sighed then turned his attention back to Kokatorimon, who had finally noticed them. The giant chicken let out a roar and fired a beam at the two teens and their Digimon partners. It missed them by a few inches, causing the set of stairs Yoshi was standing on to collapse. Splashimon quickly spun around to face the bird Digimon with an evil glint in her eyes.
"Look, you! I don't care who you are or where you come from, but I'm gonna send you right back there! Baby Smash!" She shouted, throwing herself towards Kokatorimon. She smashed into his chest, but barely even marked him.
"Pepper Breath!" Agumon yelled, shooting a tiny fireball at the bird. With a swift flap of his wings, Kokatorimon had completely destroyed the fireball, with only a few embers on the ground to show that it had ever existed.
"Damn it, it's not working! You'll need to try harder, guys!" Tristan yelled. The two Digimon glared at him then started attacking the chicken with Pepper Breath and Baby Smash. It eventually appeared to get bored and shot a huge laser beam at them. Splashimon managed to jump out of the way fast enough to only get slightly grazed by the attack, but it hit Agumon full force. The sight of the little dinosaur lying limp on the ground was enough to push Splashimon over the edge.
"Why did you do that to him? He never did anything bad to anyone! You're nothing but a big bully, now go home before I force you back!" She screamed. Her body was suddenly surrounded by glowing, dark blue particles as she leapt into the air. "Splashimon Digivolve to…DREVINMON!"
Splashimon had certainly changed a lot through Digivolution. Her once small, fluffy form had changed into a sleek, cat-like body with fluffy white wings, and the markings on her head had developed slightly and now looked like a trio of scars. She had also grown in size, going from being small enough for Tristan to pick her up with no problems to around the height of his waist.
"Yes! Now that I've Digivolved, I can fight better!" She yelled. Her paw started glowing with a light blue aura as she flew towards Kokatorimon. "Drevin…STRIKE!"
She forced her paw onto Kokatorimon's chest but it barely affected him. Meanwhile, Marcus was kneeling over Agumon's limp body, shaking him slightly and begging him to get up. Tears started to fall from the teen's face, but they were near impossible to see, as rain had started falling around them.
"Take this. It'll help you bring back Agumon." Came a slightly gruff, but rather gentle, voice. An old man was standing behind a fence, holding up an orange Digivice. He tossed it to Marcus, who caught it with no problems.
"Thanks, old man, but what do I do with it?" He asked, tilting his head and cocking his eyebrow. The old man chuckled slightly and motioned towards Kokatorimon.
"Use your DNA to Digivolve Agumon and defeat Kokatorimon, of course." He said. Marcus stood up and grinned, then lunged towards Kokatorimon.
"IT'S FIGHTIN' TIME!" He yelled. The thought of bringing back his partner seemed to light a spark inside of him as he punched the giant chicken. An aura of orange particles that looked somewhat like fire started to glow around his fist, which he slammed down over the Digivice. "DNA charge!"
Agumon struggled to his feet as a light from the Digivice hit him.
"Agumon Digivolve to…" He started changing rapidly, similar to the way Drevinmon had. He grew to around the size of a small house, and a helmet-like formation appeared around the top of his head. His tail had grown longer, and his once underdeveloped muscles could now be seen on his arms. "GEOGREYMON!"
The giant dinosaur growled and dashed towards Kokatorimon, locking them into a vicious fight. GeoGreymon waited until his face was close to the other Digimon's face, and then smirked.
"MEGA BURST!" He yelled, firing a giant fireball at Kokatorimon. It hit him with incredible force, causing him to suddenly turn into digital particles, which reformed into an egg. Yoshi, who had somehow managed to get down from the tower, picked up the egg and nodded at them.
"You four done good. Now, Marcus Damon, hand over Raptor One. If you don't, I'll be forced-" She began.
"Yeah, yeah, forced to arrest me. Whatever." Marcus drawled. "I honestly don't know why you still want Agumon. After all, he wasn't the one who started the fire!"
"I know that now. Although he wasn't the one who started the fire, he still took out thirteen men in the park earlier!" She yelled at him, anger and annoyance evident in her voice. Marcus put his hand behind his head and blushed slightly.
"Actually, that was me…" He chuckled nervously. Yoshi almost exploded in rage at his confession. Rather than speaking, she grabbed both Tristan and Marcus and dragged them back to her car. Once they were inside, Tristan pulled out his journal from his bag and started to write.
"Dear journal. Today, I became a member of DATS, and learned about creatures known as Digimon. I've met a lot today, including my partner, Drevinmon. She's a blue cat with wings. This crazy lady, Yoshino, dragged me to the DATS building, and I became an official member. There was also Agumon, the dinosaur Digimon. He's partnered up with Marcus Damon, a guy I met today. Then I met Kokatorimon, an incredibly evil bird Digimon. He came really close to killing Agumon, but Marcus' DNA allowed him to Digivolve and saved him. I hope I can have a lot more adventures with Drevinmon, Yoshi and Marcus! This is Tristan Verity, signing out!" He wrote.
Well, that was Chapter One. What did you think? Did you love it, or did you hate it? Maybe you think I should die in a hole for writing it. Whatever you think, tell me in a review!
