Digimon Frontier: Hidden History
Summary:
When Lucemon rose, the ten legendary warriors fought bravely against him and, sacrificing their lives, sealed him into the core of the Digital World. Soon after, Cherubimon, Ophanimon and Seraphimon ruled the Digital World in peace. This story, every Digimon alive had heard. But a portion of the history was left cut out, to be hidden among the minds of few who had heard this hidden chapter.
Two years after the destruction of Lucemon, the Frontier gang was now leading normal lives. They went to the same school, and life couldn't be more boring. Suddenly, they were again sucked into the Digital World, only to find it wasn't the one they rescued. Still, what was the relationship between their return and the untold history of the Ten Legendary Warriors? And why can't they spirit evolve even when trouble's coming their way?

Chapter one: Reunion
Kouji's POV
Kouji hated his school uniform.
He grimaced as he looked down at his navy-blue blazer, white shirt and grey pants combination. It was definitely not what he would call comfortable. Sighing, he flung his black book bag over his shoulder and continued his way to his classroom. On his head was his ever-present bandana; the same one he wore when he went to the Digital World.
'Well, at least everyone's wearing it,'he thought as he passed the school gate and mobs of students from different grades. He was attending Shibuya Middle School, and so was the gang except Tommy. JP was a grade higher than he was, and Tommy was in the sixth grade, but they still got together as often as possible. The bond they built in the Digital World hadn't waned at all.
"Hey, Kouji!" Kouji entered the classroom and turned his head as he heard Takuya call out. He wasn't wearing his goggles or his hat; and beside him was Kouichi, Kouji's twin brother.
"Hey,"Kouji answered.
"So how's the weekend, bro?"Kouichi asked. His expression was kind, as always.
Kouji smiled. If it hadn't been for their little trip to the Digital World, he wouldn't have found his brother."The usual,"he replied. He half-threw his book bag to his seat and leaned against the class wall with his hands folded. He wasn't a lone wolf like before, but shadows of his past attitude still remained."It was pretty quiet, actually. With the piles of homework teachers keep giving us, I don't think I'll be able to actually do anything else."
Takuya chuckled, but stopped in the middle of it as the school bell rang. Letting out a reluctant grumble, he returned to his seat and waited for the teacher. No sooner had he sat down than a girl with shoulder-length auburn hair, tied in low pigtails, rushed into the classroom, her chocolate-brown eyes showing the anxiety she was in. She half-dragged her schoolbag as she walked along the aisle the students' tables had lined, shoulders still heaving. Obviously she had just run all the way to school. "Made it!" She whispered, and took a seat beside Takuya.
"Morning!"She grinned at him. Takuya flushed slightly and looked away, mumbling a "morning, Emiko". Kouji, seeing this, glanced at his twin brother smirking, who returned an amused, lop-sided grin. The teacher came in, and Kouji snapped his attention back to the blackboard and immediately sweatdropped. In the teacher's arms was a stack of worksheets; no doubt a portion of the homework they were going to have for this day.
'…This is going to be a looong school day…'Kouji groaned.
Zoe's POV
"…Finally!"Zoe stretched as the bell rang, signaling the end of school. She smoothed her white shirt and navy-blue skirt which ended a few inches above her knees. When she bent down to gather her books, her golden hair covered her face, and she hastily curled it behind her ear, frustrated. It had been so much easier when she wore her purple hat. She would never have to worry about her hair flying around wherever it wanted. But thanks to the school code, anything non-blue/black was prohibited from being worn on the head."Kouji's so lucky…"She pouted at the thought of his bandana, and opened her locker. First things first; she would go put her books in her locker, and then join the guys and walk back home.
Normal POV
"Geez, does any of you guys feel that the school's giving us more homework than usual?"JP asked as all six of them walked home quietly. JP had long since gotten over his crush on Zoe, seeing that it was only an infatuation. He looked at Tommy beside him, and asked,"So, how're things in your grade?"
"Nothing much,"Tommy answered."Teachers are just giving us homework and stuff. Just like an ordinary school life, I guess."To be truthful, Tommy felt bored of school life. It was nowhere as fun and exciting as saving the world and helping the Digimon in need.
"Well, you've got my support on that one,"mumbled Kouichi and Kouji, who walked side by side."Maybe it's that we're just like normal teenagers now; we go to school five days a week, and we have a weekend break, then we have to return to school again,"Kouichi said, his eyes blank, as though he wasn't the one doing the talking. After that, the group fell into silence again.
"Argh I've had enough!"Takuya yelled pulling his hair."I can't stand it anymore! We're the Legendary Warriors! Cherubimon didn't kill us; Lucemon didn't kill us, but this boredom is just driving me crazy! I wish we were back in the Digital World!"
"And how do you expect us to do it?"Zoe challenged with her hands on her hips. Takuya scratched his temple and opened his mouth to answer, but was suddenly interrupted. All of their cell phones beeped and a white light shone from the screens. Takuya frantically pressed his cell phone's buttons, but the white light continued shining. It grew brighter until it hurt to look at it.
"…What's happening!?"Tommy cried as he looked down, only to find that he was already knee-deep into the light. In fact, it was engulfing every one of them! Kouichi gasped, and grabbed hold of Kouji's arm."Stick together!"he yelled. Nodding but still somewhat bewildered, they held onto each other and screamed as the light swallowed them whole, sending them falling into an endless pit of light.
Kouji groaned as he sat up and rubbed his head. The others were too sitting up, inspecting for any bodily damage. He looked over to Takuya, who was adjusting his goggles."…Wait a minute. Takuya, why are you wearing your goggles again?"he asked Takuya, who looked up with a slightly dirt-covered face.
"What do you mean? Of course I'm not wearing goggles. It's against the school code, remem―" Takuya's hands made their way to his forehead again, and sitting on it was his goggles."What? But how?"
"Hm…Actually, we're all wearing the clothes we were wearing when we first came to the Digital World,"exclaimed Zoe. She was glad to be in her purple attire again. Not only did it bring a comforting sense of remembrance, it made her able to feel the breeze again. The uniform was too thick for that. Standing up, she inspected her cell phone, and to her amazement, she came face-to-face with a new D-Tector. It looked almost exact to Takuya and Kouji's D-Tectors, with violet being the background color and the holder on the right-hand side being black. Her screen too had changed. Instead of being rectangular, it was now circular, surrounded with a golden fringe framed with spikes.
"Guys!"Zoe called out."What's wrong with my D-Tector?"She held it up so that everyone could get a good look at it.
"Hey, mine's changed too,"JP echoed confusedly, looking at his D-Tector. Like Zoe's, his D-Tector was a shadow of Takuya and Kouji's D-Tectors, except that his D-Tector had blue and yellow for the background, and black for the holder. JP shook it, and checked whether Beetlemon and MetalKabuterimon were there. They were. JP smiled and turned to Kouichi and Tommy."What did you guys get?"
Kouichi looked at his D-Tector. It had a grey background and a black holder."Well, Loewemon and JagerLoewemon are here. What are we supposed to do here?"
Tommy pressed the buttons on his D-Tector, which has an aquamarine background and, like all the others, a black holder."I don't know, maybe the Digital World is in trouble again!" His eyes lit up at the thought of going through all the adventure again. He missed being Kumamon.
Takuya looked around. There were no Trailmon tracks here, only a seemingly never-ending forest ahead of them."Well, let's get a move on. Maybe we can find a Trailmon station. We'll travel much faster that way."The others nodded, and together, they walked into the forest ahead of them. As for where they would end up in, nobody knew.
-Hours Later-
"This isn't working,"muttered Kouji grumpily, as they continued walking. The sun was starting to set, dying the sky into a shade of crimson. He wearily put one foot in front of another. Kouji made a swift glance at his friends; they were all very tired, he could tell. They'd walked for hours in this forest, and still they found no Trailmon tracks. Not even a single one.
"Great, Takuya, find a Trailmon station and we'll travel on it. There aren't even Trailmon tracks here!"Kouji glared at the goggle-head, in which he had called his best friend, but he really did get on his nerves sometimes.
Takuya glared back, his temper already fueled by the weariness he was feeling."Well, what you expect us to do? If we keep moving, we'll find a station eventually!"
"When? A couple of years later?"Kouji snapped. Kouichi put a hand on his twin brother's shoulder, and Kouji managed to calm down. But just a little.
"Let's find a camping site and call it a night,"Kouichi suggested."We might cover more ground if we rest first." They yawned and agreed, and the gang soon found a clearing suitable for camping. JP was trying to make a campfire when suddenly, he heard Tommy scream. Turning around, he saw a black T-rex-like Digimon, standing a proud three stories tall. It roared angrily and JP shivered.'We must have trespassed into that Digimon's territory!'JP thought grimly.
"Tommy!"Zoe yelled, as she yanked the young boy out of the way of a giant dinosaur-like Digimon. She veered away from the obviously angry Digimon and The Frontier gang got on their exhausted legs and started to run away from the big black dinosaur-like Digimon. It was unlike any Digimon they had seen, and it was enormous. It tore through the forest as though cutting through butter; it would just be a matter of time when it caught up with the six children.
Takuya held up his red-and-black D-Tector and yelled,"Spirit Evolution!"He expected his left hand to be surrounded by a ring of fractal code, but was shocked when his D-Tector didn't even respond. Bewildered, he tried again, "Spirit Evolution!" ...No response.
"Guys, we've got a problem!" Takuya managed to say the words through helpless gulps of air; his diaphragm was killing him. For once, he, Takuya felt an emotion churning at the bottom of his stomach—fear."We can't spirit evolve!"
To Be Continued
Author's Notes: Yes, that 'big black dinosaur-like Digimon' is DarkTyrannomon. I thought that he would be perfect for the role I gave him. Hm…I'd say it's not bad for my first Frontier fanfic, si?
