Digimon: Crest of Reflection
Book 4: The Second Adventure
Fans of the original Anime will notice that I am rewriting basically everything, so be warned, I guess~?
Chapter 1: Dark Emperor
"Gato, look out!" Shadow shouted, watching in horror as a horde of Unimon violently tore through the forest, trampling their hut into rubble and threatening to trample the two cats with it. Luckily, they both had sharp hearing, and were able to leave with minimal damage. However, one of the Unimon was took off away from the pack and raised up on his hind legs, neighing furiously, before stomping down.
Shadow dove in and grabbed her, pulling her away, "we've gotta get out of here now! And check on the others!" He felt some resistance from Gatomon when he tried to run with her.
"My tail ring!" She tried to pull away, but Shadow found it easier to keep her restrained.
"You'll get killed or captured, we have to go!" He picked her up and took off through the forest, ignoring Gatomon's cries of protest, and headed straight for Patamon's hut.
The scene there was pretty much the same, with Gabumon and Patamon trying to hold off some Gazimon, and not succeeding. These Digimon are stronger than normal… Shadow thought, also noticing they had the same black rings around the arms that the Unimon had. What is going on? Shadow cried out in his mind and charged forward, knocking one of them away with a kick.
"Shadow?" Patamon yelled, smacking a Gazimon with his wing, "I don't know how you knew we were in trouble, but I'll take the help I guess!" Gatomon joined in, though she was substantially weaker, and the four of them managed to drive off the rogue Digimon.
"What in the world is going on?" Gabumon asked, with none of them able to offer an answer for their newest plight. "Maybe we should go talk to Genai, he might have some idea. The others will also be there I bet." They all agreed and headed out for the hut, noticing some burning villages on the way. However, they couldn't do anything to help, everyone was either under control or ran away, so they just avoided confrontations with any other Digimon.
When they arrived at Genai's house, they noticed that everyone else was also gathered there, just as Gabumon had predicted. "Ah, there you are, then I can start," Genai said, standing up on a box marked 'oranges'. No one had time to laugh at how potentially funny that was. "As I'm sure you're all aware, some Digimon with mysterious black bands have appeared and started wrecking the Digital World." The group nodded, "this must seem vaguely familiar to you, as it is a similar phenomenon to the black gears. What you may or may not have noticed is that there has been something erected in each zone, sending out commands to those bands." Genai pulled up a holographic map out of thin air, with black points dotting the landscape, "these are Control Spires. Everything within a 5 mile radius of one with a black band is under mind control by someone claiming himself to be the Dark Emperor. He's also overlapped them, so that if one goes down, it doesn't sever the link. We'd have to destroy three or four at the same time."
"Then we need Tai and the others back!" Agumon shouted, to which Genai shook his head.
"I'm afraid I'm not sure it that's possible. However, I have a feeling another group of Digidestined is coming."
Another group? This ought to be interesting.
A bit of a short intro, and honestly, why only have one spire per zone? That always struck me as not being very intelligent for the kid with like a 200 IQ, so I changed that. Anyway, what will happen when this new group comes in? Find out next time~
