A PLACE WHERE I BELONG CHAPTER ONE – A ROUGH DAY
This show follows the storyline for Digimon Season 2 up till the creation of Black Wargreymon. After his creation Black Wargreymon took control from Arukenimon, and Mummymon. He then created an army of Black Spire digimon, and declared all out war on both the Digital World, and the human world.
Five years after the start of this war the Digital Containment Organization or D.C.O. was established. Branches were opened all over the world to counteract the attacks by Black Wargreymon. Three years after the creation of the D.C.O Izzy, along with Ken developed a system for harnessing data and using them to augment a digimon's abilities. The data is converted into a card resembling a mini SD card that is inserted into the digivice to activate after the use of the keyword which activates the program. This system was named Digital Modification or dig-modify as the keyword is called. This story starts two years after the invention of the modification System, in the city of Athens Greece at the ruins of the Temple of Zeus.
AN: A big thank you to Something dictionary related for my first review on this story which led to the improved version. Another one to Sicko323 for my first favorite which inspires me to improve myself to be worthy of the favs. This story has gone through Spell-check and should be easier to read. Also I in no way have any ownership of digimon or any other asset I use. They are the property of their current owner, and I get no monetary gain from this story.
Chapter 1: New Beginnings
At the ruins of the Temple of Zeus, which is a Greek pantheon consisting of many pillars circling the edge of a stone slab holding up a triangular shaped roof. Tourists go about their business as the sky begins to darken with clouds. Suddenly a jet-black obelisk with the appearance of obsidian materializes out of nowhere near the ruins. People stare, and gawk at the large obelisk. Next to the obelisk a large creature phases into existence. The creature is an anthropomorphic bull, or a creature that is a bull like humanoid, and it's left hand is a large cannon. Energy gathers in the creature's cannon. The creature puts the cannon to the ground and roars.
"Darkside Quake!" It releases the energy into the ground causing a large earthquake. People scream, and run as they spot the creature, everyone that is except for a young man. This young man is around one hundred seventy centimeters tall; with midnight black hair that matches his tank top, shorts, and sandals. His face is contorted into a scowl as he stares at the creature with his hazel anger filled eyes.
"A minotarumon? Here? Dammit!" The young man says as he looks around.
"Diamond Storm!" A feminine voice calls out, before a shower of glowing crystalline shards slam into the Minotarumon's back, and explode. The young man's head turns in the direction the attack came from, and spots a yellow fox anthropomorphic behind the Minotarumon. The fox anthropomorphic has purple gloves that have a yin-yang on each one.
"It's a Renamon. She's crazy. That digimon is two levels above her. I better help her out." The young man quickly looks around and locates a fallen statue of a warrior that broke into pieces.
The young man picks up the statue's stone spear and bolts toward the Minotarumon. The Renamon meanwhile charges at the Minotarumon, and kicks it in the chest. The Minotarumon roars, and knocks the Renamon away. The young man gets behind the Minotarumon as energy begins to collect in it's cannon. The young man spots a wound from the Renamon's earlier attack, and plunges the spear into the digimon's back. The Minotarumon roars, and fires the cannon grazing the Renamon's side, and sends her sprawling to the ground.
"Renamon!" The young man roars before twisting the spear inside the Minotarumon. The Minotarumon gives one final roar before disintegrating. The young man falls on his back, and takes a deep breath. Then he gets up as a slightly older male with spiky brown hair, and a small yellow dinosaur that resembles a T-Rex, run over.
"Don't move!" The man shouts, and the younger male runs past him.
"Sorry, but Renamon took a direct hit. I don't have time for that right now!" He says as he runs toward the down Renamon. The slightly older male pulls out his phone, and pushes three on the large touchscreen. The numbers disappear and a new screen opens showing a male of similar age to the caller, and he has combed down brown hair.
"Hey Tai, what's up?" The male on the screen says. The spiky haired man nods to the male.
"Hey Izzy. We got a hurt Renamon here in Athens. Can you and your team gate over here?" Izzy nods.
"Yes that shouldn't be a problem. Hold your phone out, and I'll get the gate set-up." Tai nods.
"Thanks Izzy, see you in a minute." Izzy nods.
"No problem Tai." The call ends, and Tai points his phone out away from himself. The screens glows, and in a burst of light from the phone, Izzy, an insect looking digimon, and four men appear in front of the phone. Izzy is dressed in a lab coat with a black bag over his shoulder, as are the other four men. "Hey Izzy!" Tai shouts as Izzy walks over to him, and nods.
"Hey Tai. Where is the hurt Renamon?" Tai points to where the young man has removed his shirt, and used it to bandage a wound on the side of the Renamon. Everyone runs over to the Renamon and Izzy's team surrounds them.
"Who are you people?" The young man asks eyeing the group. Izzy kneels near the man.
"We are a digital medic squad. We're here to help." The young man nods.
"She has a wound on her left side. She took a hit from a Mintoarumon's cannon." Izzy nodes
"Don't worry. We got a med ship on the way here. We'll stabilize her, and move her to the best treatment facilities available." The young man nods, and looks to Tai.
"Can you drop that Black Spire?" Tai nods with grin.
"Piece of cake. Between my partner Agumon, and Izzy's partner Tentomon it'll be a breeze. Ready Izzy?" Izzy nods, and draws his digivice and a small red card that resembles a mini SD card. Tai does the same. Both shout at the same time.
"Digi Modify! Power Boost activate!" Both point their digivices at their digimon. Light bursts from the devices and infuse into the digimon. Both digimon turn to the spire.
"Pepper Breath!" Agumon shouts before unleashing a massive fireball toward the spire.
"Super Shocker!" Tentomon shouts as he releases a massive burst of electricity from his antennas. Both attacks slam into the spire causing the base to shatter bringing down the whole thing which disintegrates upon hitting the ground. During this time the medic team removes the young man's makeshift bandage, and applies various creams, before bandaging the wound with gauze, and bandages.
Shortly afterward a large aircraft arrives, and sets down. The aircraft is a cargo plane with modified engines that allow the plane to land horizontally. The rear hatch opens and two men in camouflage outfits exit with a stretcher in hand. They run over to Izzy's team and move the now stabilized Renamon to the stretcher. They take her on board followed by Izzy and his team.
"I need you to come with us." Tai says to the young man, who nods.
"Of course. I need to make sure Renamon is ok." Tai nods, and they board the ship with digimon right behind. The hatch closes, and the ship takes off and makes its way east. On-board Izzy, and Tai walk over to the young man, who is sitting by Renamon's side.
"Ok dude. We got some questions for you." Tai states with all seriousness. The young man looks to them.
"My name is Drake Drason. I am a college student from Michigan State University on summer break. I am working on my bachelor's in computer programming. I am here as a tourist. I was examining the ruins when the Minotarumon, and the spire showed up. The Renamon engaged the Minotarumon while I got behind it and pierced it with a stone spear. The Minotarumon hit Renamon with a shot from the cannon on his arm before I destroyed it." Drake says looking at the Renamon with regret. Tai nods.
"Thank you, and don't worry. She'll be alright." Drake nods.
"I don't see your digivice. Did you drop it?" Izzy inquires, and Drake shakes his head.
"No, I don't own one. The Renamon isn't my partner. I just met her at the ruins."
Izzy looks to Tai.
"So a regular person and a wild Renamon beat an ultimate impressive." Tai says examining Drake. Izzy goes over to his team who are keeping an eye on renamon with their laptops, and probes attached to the Renamon.
"Report." His team nods.
"Her data is starting to degrade. It's extremely slow, but there is some." Izzy nods.
"Keep it to a minimum." His team nods.
"Yes sir." Tai looks to Drake again.
"Would you like to join the D.C.O?" Drake looks to Tai in confusion.
"I don't have a digimon." Tai shrugs.
"What about Renamon?" Drake shakes his head.
"She's not with me." Tai shrugs "Ask her. Maybe she will partner with you." Drake nods.
"If she wants to be my partner, and wants to join the D.C.O. then yes I will join." Tai nods with a smile.
"Sweet we can use all the muscle we can get." Drake nods.
"How long till we reach our destination?" Tai shrugs.
"Hey Izzy how long till arrival?" Izzy turns to Tai.
"About three hours." Tai nods, and Drake nods.
"Ok. I am going to go sit with Renamon till we arrive." Tai nods, and Drake walks over to Renamon and sits on the floor of the plane next to her. After a few hours at high speed the plane arrives at a small island south of Japan. The plane lands on a runway near a large building and the back door of the plane opens. Drake and the D.C.O exit the plane, and make their way into the building. They go into a large medical lab that is lined with computers, and in the center is a large tube with glass walls.
They bring the Renamon in; remove her bandages, and the tube's walls lower into the ground. Inside the tube is a breathing mask attached to the ceiling. They put Renamon in the center, and put the breathing mask on her. Then a tech turns a dial that causes the tube to rise from the floor. They hold her up as long as possible. Once they are forced to let go she falls against the tube, and slides to the floor. The tube reconnects with the ceiling, and the tube begins to fill with a translucent liquid. Once the tube is full Renamon floats there breathing through the mask. Izzy's team mans the computers, and Izzy stands in front of the tank.
"Computer activate tank control console." A beeping sound is heard, before the floor in front of the tank opens, and a console rises up. Once it locks in place it powers up, and the tank lights up from the bottom, as does a ring at the base of the tank. Drake stands just inside the doorway, and watches. Izzy types in a command, and the ring at the base of the tank lights up more. Then it begins to slowly climb the tank. Renamon's data glows where the ring is. As the ring climbs the other computers come to life with information on her, including her vitals.
"Her pulse and heart-rate are within tolerable limits." One of the techs says.
"Blood oxygen level and blood pressure green." Another tech says. "Data degradation is at fifteen percent, and holding." Izzy nods.
"OK. Prepare for data restoration." The techs nod as the ring reaches the top. The monitor in front of Izzy lights up with a 3-D model of the Renamon. The areas with damage are highlighted in red. Izzy types in another command and the ring's light changes to light purple. The ring starts to climb its way back down. The areas in red are her head, her right arm, and her left side. When the ring reaches the Renamon's head it stops and her data glows a bright blue. After being there for a few minutes the 3-D model's head stops glowing red. The ring begins moving down, and stops at her right elbow. It stays there for a few minutes before sliding down the arm. It stops and heals the next part of the arm. It does this from the elbow to the finger tips. The right arm stops glowing red on the 3-D model. During this time it also healed the wound on her side. This region also stops glowing red. The ring continues back down to its home in the bottom of the tank. "Report on the Renamon's condition." The techs nod.
"Vitals green." The first tech says.
"B.O. and B.P. green." The second tech says.
"Data is at one hundred percent. Corruption and degradation are completely gone. Stability restored." The third tech says.
"What about her neurological state?" A fourth tech looks over the data.
"Everything checks out. She is currently in R.E.M. state." Izzy nods.
"Ok. I am preparing to drain the tube." Izzy pushes a button, and the tank drains. Renamon lowers to the floor as the water drains. "Drake can you help them get her back on the stretcher?" Drake nods, and moves toward the tank. "I am lowering the tank's walls."
Izzy states before he turns a dial to the left and the tank de-attaches from the ceiling, and lowers to the ground. As the tank lowers below her head, Drake puts a hand behind her head. Then other on the middle of her back as it drops lower. Once the tank is all the way down he moves behind her, and lets her head rest on his chest so he can grab her under her arms, and two of the techs grab a leg each. Another tech brings over a stretcher, and they set her on it. Drake covers her wet body with a sheet, and looks to Izzy.
"We need to get her dry." Izzy nods.
"Let's get you guys a room. We can get a blow dryer for her and a change of clothes for you." Drake nods looking down at his now wet clothes. He then follows Izzy out of the lab pushing Renamon's stretcher. They go through a central area, and into the east area labeled "Living Area." Just outside the living area is a touch screen computer mounted on the wall. "Computer voice recognition." The computer beeps.
"Voice recognition confirmed. Voice records direct match to Izzy Izumi. Please state command." Izzy nods.
"Issue a unit for one human, and one digimon." The computer beeps.
"A bedroom for each individual or one bedroom for both?" Izzy looks to Drake.
"Two bedrooms please." Izzy nods.
"A two bedroom unit." Izzy states to the computer. The computer beeps, and displays a 3-D model of the Living area divided into the various floors. The computer highlights one room each on floors one, three, four, and six.
"These are the available rooms that match your criteria." Drake nods, and looks to Izzy.
"The one on the third floor please." Izzy nods.
"Computer third floor please." The computer beeps and the other floors vanish leaving only the room on the third that change to a layout of the apartment. Next to that is the address of apartment seven. It has windows that show a beautiful lake on the north side of the building. This lake is visible from where they are standing. "All necessary items are already compiled into a list. Are there any other items you would like to add?" Izzy nods.
"Add one hair dryer, one brush. Is there anything else Drake?" Drake nods.
"Please add one extra thick down comforter and any available books on Renamon." Izzy nods.
"One extra thick down comforter. Also add all reference material on the digimon species Renamon." The computer beeps.
"Request confirmed. Items added to list, and list transmitted to warehouse. Supplies are in route." Izzy nods.
"Computer begin the registration for that unit's residents." Izzy orders, and the computer beeps.
"Beginning registration of residents." The computer says as the screen changes to a blank profile page. "Registration of human resident beginning. Human resident please state information for records and voice pattern recognition." Drake nods.
"Name: Drake Drason, Age: nineteen, weight: one hundred ninety three pounds, height: one hundred seventy point one eight centimeters, Blood type O positive, Black hair, hazel eyes, race: Caucasian." The computer beeps.
"Voice pattern recorded, and identified. Please state clearance level." Izzy nods.
"Clearance level guest." The computer beeps.
"Clearance level guest confirmed. Please stand in center of screen for picture." Drake nods, and stands in the center of the screen.
"Ready." The computer beeps.
"Taking picture in three, two, one." The screen flashes and a cropped torso up picture appears on the profile. "Human Profile complete. Beginning Digimon Profile."
"Computer access patient file zero two three alpha Charlie, and use for profile." The computer beeps and starts filling in the profile.
"Upload complete. Need voice pattern for record."
"Computer authorize bypass code seven two three. Skip voice and picture for later date." The computer beeps.
"Understood. Registration complete. Enjoy your accommodations." Drake nods.
"Thank you computer." Drake says as he wheels Renamon to the elevator. Izzy follows and when he reaches the elevator the doors don't open. "Elevator doors open." The elevator doors open, and Drake wheels Renamon in with Izzy in tow.
"Second floor." Drake says, and the elevator beeps before climbing to the second floor, and opening. Drake wheels Renamon off, with Izzy right behind. They go to the first door on their right that has a plate that says "#7" on it. "Open door to number seven." The door beeps.
"Voice recognition confirmed." The door says before opening. Drake wheels Renamon in, and over to the wall outside the bedroom on the right. A few minutes later a beeping sound can be heard. "Request for entrance requested." The computer says, and Izzy nods.
"Must be the movers." Izzy says, and Drake nods.
"Open doors." The computer beeps, and the doors open. Two men with a couch enter.
"Delivery of apartment supplies." One of the movers say.
"Thank you please bring everything in, but I need the blow dryer first." The mover nods, and hands him a box that was lying on the couch.
"Here you go." Drake takes the box.
"Thank you. Hey Izzy can you supervise the delivery so I can get her dry?" Izzy nods, and Drake smiles as he nods his head in gratitude.
"Sure Drake. Take care of Renamon." Drake nods, and wheels Renamon into the bedroom. There he takes the hair dryer out of the box, plugs it in, and turns it on. Once it gets warm, Drake points it at her ears, and begins drying her off. He does this all the way down her body till she is completely dry. Then he shuts off the dryer, and goes back out into the living room. There he finds various pieces of furniture and many boxes.
"Hey Izzy have the beds, and bedding made it up yet?" Izzy nods.
"Yeah the beds are over there at the base of the kitchen cabinets. The bedding is on top of them." Drake nods.
"Damn." Izzy looks over at Drake.
"What's wrong?" Drake shakes his head.
"I forgot to ask for tools to assemble these." Izzy walks over to the couch and wheels a black tool tower from behind it.
"Tools are automatically on the list." Drake smiles just as the door beeps again.
"Request for entrance has been made by Tai Kamiya." Drake nods.
"Allow entrance." The computer beeps, and the doors open. Tai walks in, and spots Izzy.
"So this is where you went. Thought I would come by, and see if Drake needed a hand settling in." Drake nods.
"Your timing is perfect actually. Wanna give me a hand getting Renamon's bed assembled?" Tai nods.
"Sure we'll each take a side and haul it in. Drake nods and the two walk over to the box. Each goes to an end, and lifts it up. They take it into the bedroom, and set it down just inside the door. Izzy wheels in the tool tower and sets it to the left of the door.
"While you guys work on the bed I will sort these boxes out here, and get them to their proper rooms." Drake and Tai nod.
"Thank you guys for your help." Tai and Izzy nod.
"You're welcome Drake." Izzy says before heading out.
"No problem." Tai says as he opens the tool chest and looks through it. He pulls out a socket wrench, and a kit of bits. They each grab a box cutter, and go over to the box. They carefully cut it away revealing a metal frame made of cylindrical bars. Once the box has been cut away, they lay out the frame, and get the pieces into position. Tai ratchets the foot of the bed to the frame. Then he tosses the ratchet to Drake who attaches the head to the frame. They remove the box pieces to one of the corners, and set the box spring on the bed. Then they set the mattress on. They go out into the living room where Izzy has cleared out the kitchen.
"Hey Izzy do you know where the bedding is?" Izzy nods, and points to three boxes on the wall outside of the renamon's room.
"One has the pillows. One has the sheets, and blankets. The third has the comforter you requested." Drake nods.
"Thank you Izzy." Drake says as he picks up two of the boxes. Tai grabs the other one, and they go back into the bedroom. There they open the boxes, and pull out the sheet first. They put it on the bed. Then they pull out the pillowcases, and get the pillows in them, and on the bed. Drake looks to Renamon, and then to Tai.
"Can you grab her feet so we can move her to the bed?" Tai nods.
"Sure Drake." Tai says as he grabs her heels. Drake grabs her under her arms, and they lower her to the bed, where Drake covers her up with the blanket, and the extra thick comforter.
"Thank you." Tai nods.
"No sweat." Tai says as he helps Drake put the tools away. They wheel the tool chest back out into the living room to find that almost all the boxes are out of the living room. Izzy is standing at a monitor built into the wall near the door. He looks to Drake and Tai as they come out.
"Hey guys. I got the boxes where they need to go." Drake nods.
"Thank you Izzy, and you as well Tai." They both nod.
"The information you requested is in that box on the couch. I hope it's what you are looking for." Drake nods.
"I just want some background info on the species so I don't do anything they find rude or impolite." Izzy nods.
"Good idea." Tai nods, as his phone rings. Tai holds it up and hits the answer button.
"This is Tai go ahead." A male appears on the screen.
"We have another spire. This one is in Italy. Back-up has been requested. We have already created a warp point. We are ready to connect to your current location." Tai nods, and looks to Izzy, and Drake.
"Sorry guys work calls." They both nod. "Go ahead." The computer on the wall glows, and Tai vanishes into it. The monitor stops glowing, and Izzy looks at Drake.
"I have to go too. My work needs my attention." Drake nods.
"No problem. Thanks for the help again." Izzy nods, and heads out. Drake unpacks the dishes, pans, silverware, puts them in the drawers in the kitchen. He places towels, washcloths, sanitary supplies, and cleaners in both bathrooms.
Then he assembles his bed, and makes it up. He moves the end tables into the bedrooms, and moves the couch, and chair into position in the center of the room, with a coffee table as a center piece. He looks in on the Renamon to find her sleeping peacefully. Drake smiles as he goes back into the living room. Then he goes into his room, and opens a dresser in there revealing several outfits. He slips into a pair of black pajama pants, and a white muscle shirt. He throws his wet outfit on the edge of the tub, and lies down on the couch drifting off to sleep.
Thank you for reading Chapter One. Please leave an honest opinion or review so I can make subsequent chapters even better. Thank you.
