Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon.
Author's note: This story takes place the same time as Adventure 01, but for purposefull reasons I change the year to 2004. Also, I'll say it myself, there will be people who won't like how this story progresses. But deal with it, it's something I came up with when I had a lot of free time.
Author's note 2: If there is anybody who'd like to be in this story I only have one condition: you have to be from Belgium or one of the neighbouring countries (France, Netherlands, Great Britain, Germany, ...). Also I'll need some information about you, like:
- your story-name
- your prefered Digimon (and if you can't decide send them all through (between which you doubt off course) and I'll help decide)
- your Digimon's digivolution line (again if you can't decide, I'll help)
- a little information about how you act and stuff like that.
- anything you might find worth mentioning.
You can contact me through PM or through Review.
Chapter 1
My name is Bart Eiser, Big B for my friends, and this is my story. I'll start from the beginning. It was summer vacation of 2004 in Belgium and it was an average Belgian summer day (which means it was raining). I was 13 at that moment. So what else to do on a rainy day when your home alone then surfing the internet? I had been playing games and watching videos on youtube for an hour or so when suddenly a pop-up appeared. Off course I never read pop-ups so I immediately went for the little red button in the right upper corner of the window. What I didn't expect however was that my screen would go blank and suck me in.

"It's him. It's really him." I heard an unknown voice say as I was coming too.
"Indeed it is. And he is coming too." A second more robotic sounding voice replied.
I opened my eyes to see a bear with a backwards baseball cap on its head and a huge gear with a face on it hovering above my face. So I did what most people would do in such a situation … I screamed as hard as I could and crawled backwards until I hit a tree.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am Bearmon." the bear creature answered.
"And I am Hagurumon." Replied the big gear creature.
"What do you want from me?" I asked again.
"Oh, right. Let us explain. We are what they call Digimon, Digital Monsters. Some of us were selected at birth to help save the Digital World, or Digiworld for short, and we would do so with a human partner called a digidestined. Now we only know when a digidestined is here when the digivice made for that digidestined lits up and opens a digigate bringing said digidestined into the Digiworld for his Digimon companion, or in this case companions, to find him or her." Hagurumon explained.
"So, you think I'm your digidestined?" I asked.
"We're positive. The digivice even reacted to you." Bearmon said holding out a small device to me.
"Funny, this looks like a Tamagotchi." I chuckled as I took the device from Bearmon's paw. "Did anyone else fall from the sky recently?" I asked them, putting the digivice in my pocket. "No, not that I can think of." Bearmon replied.
"Man, I must've really taken a big fall. My ears are still buzzing." I said.
"That's not your ears. It's a Flymon!" Hagurumon corrected me.
"Flymon?" I asked standing up.
"Flymon is a Champion level insect Digimon. He has a very poisonous stinger too." Hagurumon answered me yet again.
"Ah, I see. So I suggest we run?" I said looking at the two Digimon standing in front of me, before all three of us took off.
"BROWN STINGER!" I heard behind me and suddenly a stinger flew right past me.
"He's attacking!" Bearmon stated the obvious.
We kept on running until we encountered a cliff and we knew we were stuck.
"Now what?" I asked my new friends.
"We fight. BEAR FIST!" Bearmon exclaimed before launching himself towards Flymon who just came passing above the trees.
"HAGURU ATTACK!" Hagurumon yelled shooting gears at the Flymon. However Flymon first slammed Bearmon back to the ground before dodging the gears.
"Wow, guys, take it easy. You might get hurt." I said.
"We have to protect you against hostile digimon." Hagurumon stated while Bearmon got back up.
"Can't I help with anything?" I asked feeling so useless since I'm not that strong.
"Do you know how to activate the digivice?" asked Bearmon.
"No." Was my short answer.
"Then you can't help." Bearmon replied.
It was futile. Here we were: trapped on the edge of a cliff with behind us a terrible drop and in front of us an angry Flymon, who dodged all of the attacks thrown at him. I was seriously starting to despair.
"Stop, you guys. Don't you see it's useless. We can't beat him." I said feeling sorry for the little digimon whom I just got to know.
"We won't give up. We will continue." Said Bearmon who stood up from the place next to me where he had just been slammed down.
"No, Bearmon. Stop!" I yelled and then the most remarkable thing happened the digivice started to glow and next thing I knew so was Bearmon.
"Bearmon digivolve to … Grizzlymon." Bearmon said growing larger.
"Wow!" was all I could say.
"He digivolved." Said Hagurumon.
"CRESCENT MOON!" Grizzlymon exclaimed firing a moon shaped beam from his forehead hitting Flymon directly which caused the creature to fall down the cliff.
"Good job, Grizzlymon." I said to the big purple grizzly bear.
"No problem." He replied before glowing and going back to Bearmon.
"Why did you revert back?" I asked surprised by this. I figured digivolving worked like evolving did in that Pokemon cartoon on tv.
"Well, you see, we Digimon have to fight and gain experience to digivolve normally. However, the Chosen Digimon can only digivolve by the power of the digivice." Hagurumon explained.
"I see. So does that mean you can now digivolve whenever you want or what?" I asked, being ignorant about this whole Digiworld, while we started walking along the cliff looking for an exit out of the forest.
"From what I've heard, I should be able to do so, yes. But at the moment I feel too tired to do so." Bearmon replied.
"So, tell us a little more about yourself, … uh what's your name, anyway?" Hagurumon said turning to me.
"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. Silly me. My name is Bart, but my friends call me Big B or just B for short." I replied.
"Well then, we'll call you Big B as well." Bearmon said.
"Okay, so … um … what can I tell you guys about me? I'm not that interesting. Well, I like to surf the internet and watch movies and play videogames but that's pretty much it." I said to the two Digimon.
"The internet? I've heard about that. I heard there are a lot of Virus Digimon there." Hagurumon replied.
"Virus Digimon?" I asked.
"Yes, you have three types of Digimon: Data, Vaccine and Virus. Data Digimon are mostly good Digimon. Vaccine Digimon are mostly good too. But among the Virus Digimon there are mostly evil Digimon. I myself am one of the rare good Virus Digimon. And Bearmon is a Vaccine Digimon." Hagurumon replied me.
"I see, so do the evil Digimon try to take over the Digiworld sometimes?" I asked curiously.
"Unfortunately, they don't have to anymore. The Digiworld is already ruled by evil Digimon. On File Island there is an evil Digimon named Devimon who is in power, On the continent of Server you have Etemon, though there are rumors of a new evil ruler looking for a chance to take over, and here, on the Modem continent, you have several evil Digimon working together. Nobody knows how many members their army counts, but everyone knows that nobody has seen all of them. One of the known Digimon is GranDracmon. They say he has the ability to turn Digimon evil and from what I've heard he has somehow done that to some of the Chosen Digimon. Then you also have Reapermon, a Grim Reaper-like bounty hunter. And also Raidenmon, a very powerful Machine Digimon consisting out of Suijinmon, Raijinmon and Fuujinmon. All these Digimon are Mega level Digimon. Off course, they have subordinates all over the continent making the weaker Digimon live in fear. This forest for example, is under control by Snimon, a Champion level Digimon resembling a praying mantis with twin sickles." Hagurumon brought me up to speed.
"Another question: what is this whole Champion and Mega level thing?" I asked.
"Well, Digimon have several levels of power. A Digimon that has just hatched is called a Fresh Digimon. After that you have the In-Training level. Then you have the Rookie level, which me and Hagurumon are at. And then you have Champion level, like Grizzlymon, followed by Ultimate level and finally Mega level which is the highest level of power." Bearmon explained.
"Interesting." I said starting to understand this new world.
"TWIN SICKLES!" resounded a scream just before two pink scythe-shaped beams flew by us, interrupting our conversation.
"It's Snimon!" Bearmon yelled in panic.
"Quickly, digivolve." I said grabbing the digivice from my pocket.
"I can't. I'm still too tired from last time." He replied slightly alerted.
"Then we fight like this. HAGURU ATTACK!" Hagurumon said bravely, while shooting gears at the insect. Unfortunately, Snimon was able to deflect them with his scythes.
"I'll help. BEAR CLAW!" Bearmon replied, jumping at Snimon to scratch him. The two little warriors fought bravely while I felt useless. But at a certain moment Bearmon's weakened and tired body couldn't take the beating anymore and collapsed.
"Bearmon!" I yelled as I ran towards him.
"Big B, it's okay. I'll live." Bearmon replied weakely.
"TWIN SICKLES!" I heard Snimon yelled and as I look up I could see the scythes coming at us. Next thing I knew Hagurumon put himself between us and the scythes. This action was followed immediately by my digivice glowing again and when I looked at the screen there were horizontal white bars stacking up on each other.
"Hagurumon digivolve to … Guardromon." Hagurumon said changing shape drastically.
"Wow. He digivolved too." I said looking in awe as he stopped the two scythes by just taking the hit.
"GUARDIAN BARRAGE!" Guardromon said, revealing his hidden missile launchers and firing several missiles. One of Snimon's legs was destroyed and part of his upper body was damaged as well.
"How can this be." Snimon shrieked in disbelief.
"I have the power of the digidestined with me. GUARDIAN BARRAGE!" Was all that Guardromon said before unleashing another set of missiles. Now the whole lower body of Snimon was pretty much destroyed.
"I will not let you do this. ULTIMATE TWIN SICKLES! SLAMMING ATTACK!" Snimon yelled, releasing 4 scythe beams before charging at Guardromon.
"GUARDIAN BARRAGE! Guardromon yelled, firing eight missiles. Four of them destroyed the Twin Sickles, two destroyed Snimon's arms and the remaining two hit Snimon's head, destroying him.
"Wow. What power. Remind me to never piss you off." I grinned at Guardromon, while hoisting Bearmon up, as the last of Snimon's data floated skywards.
"No problem. We probably won't be seeing him for a while." Guardromon said just before de-digivolving back to Hagurumon.
"Thanks for the save, Hagurumon." Bearmon said weakly.
"Like I said, no problem. Though digivolving is very tiring." Hagurumon yawned slightly.
"We're almost to the edge of the forest. We can walk to the edge and sleep there." I suggested as night was slowly falling.
"Good idea." Hagurumon said. We walked over to the edge of the forest. Bearmon was still weak so I kept him standing.
"I just thought of something. What are we going to eat? Or don't Digimon eat?" I asked, realizing I didn't have any food with me.
"Off course we eat. We have all sorts of stuff we can pick from the trees." Hagurumon answered.
"Great. Are there any apples?" I asked, not really being keen on fruit.
"What are apples?" Came Hagurumon's reply.
"I guess not." I answered my own question sweatdropping.
"Here in the Digiworld, meat grows on the trees." Hagurumon explained.
"All right!" I cried out happily, as we came near the edge of the forest.
"I suggest we stay here." I continued as I stopped walking.
"Fine by me." Bearmon said clearly exhausted.
"You rest here. Me and Hagurumon will get some food." I said putting Bearmon down against a tree.
"But I'm tired too." Hagurumon whined as I walked past him towards a tree which had meat in it.
"I know, but all you need to do is float low enough so I can use your hand to reach the meat." I explained.
"Okay." Hagurumon sighed.
--
We had a small feast on all kinds of meat. Afterwards we talked a little more and went to sleep.
It's been one hell of a day for Big B and his two new Digimon friends. But how will tomorrow be? What surprises are in store for them? Find out in the next chapter.
