Chapter 1
I remember my first time entering the Digital World. I still remember the stone statues that lined the hall I walked through. I also remember the statue that I found in that hall. The statue looked like a kid crossed with a lion. There was a scar over the statue's right eye. The left ear was pieced with what looked to be a small fang. The statue had a simple vest and pants combo. I still don't know just why, but I reached out and touched the tall statue. I don't really know what happen, but the next time I woke, I was staring at the sky …
(-------------------------------Lan-------------------------------------------)
Groaning, he gets up and looks around. He didn't know just how he got here, but he slowly sat up. He then looks at his hands and just stares at his dark brown skin. He then begins to look at just what he's wearing. He had a tan vest on and a pair of light brown pants. He finds that his not wearing any shoes or that he needs them. The he finds a tail curled by his side.
He then groans again and gets up. He's taller then he once was and feels his ears and does find his left ear has an earring. He just couldn't understand. 'How did this happen? I'm just eight years old! My parents are going to be worried sick! What did I do wrong? Hey! Is that an apple tree? Hope it is, cause I'm starved! This thinking is really hard work!'
He walks over to where the tree is and then begins to climb up into the branches. Soon he's feasting on the apples that grew on the tree. He think notices that a plant was walking around. He then blinks and rechecks to see if he's not imaging things. He rubbed his eyes, and then looked at an apple that he was eating. Then he dropped the apple on the walking plant.
The apple hit the target on the head. "Ow!" The plant says. Then the plant looks up at him and he finds himself staring into some eyes. 'Plant's don't have eyes.' Are his thoughts as he continues to stare into the plant's eyes. "Who are you? And why are you dropping fruit on innocent bystanders?" The plant asks. He says innocently, "I'm Lan and I didn't know plants can walk and talk!" The plant just sighs and says, "I'm a Floramon! Now where are you headed?"
He drops to the ground and lands on his feet. He thinks about it and then answers cheerfully, "No clue!" Floramon looks at him really hard and then just sighs. Then the Floramon just says, "Might as well come with me to Star Flower Village. I'm sure Buck the village leader will know what to do with you. I'm Jill, now lets go." Jill the Floramon then begins to walk towards the place he landed. He just shrugs and follows Jill to this village.
It took a good hour, but he asked Jill many questions. Jill tried to be calm as she answers his questions, but after twenty-three minutes she finally just stops and turns to him. Then yells, "Is it so much to ask if you'd just be quiet! You could easily attract some really bad Digimon to where we are and then we'd be in trouble! So from here on in, no talking, asking questions, humming, or singing!" He just nods his head at this and soon they continue on in silence.
They soon enter a place where there are many bug and plant creatures walking around. He just stares as he follows Jill through the village. Most of the buildings are made out of surrounding trees. They soon walk towards this huge tree with black bark and yellow, white, and red leaves growing on the branches. "This is the Tree of Night. It's one of the rare types of trees; it only flowers every five years. It takes three years for the tree to bare fruit. Then this fruit is used for really strong healing potions. This tree is over a thousand and five hundred fifty-seven years old. It's only grows seeds every hundred years. The seeds take a good hundred and fifty years to become seedlings. This tree has a life span of three thousand years." Jill informs him as they walk up to the great tree. He just looks at the tree in awe, even if he didn't understand everything that Jill told him.
They soon enter into this wooden box and he watches as Jill pulls a vine. Then they begin to rise up into the air. He continues to look out the door as they climb into the air. He just grins at the sights before him. He watches as the beings walking around in time become smaller and smaller. Then he begins to look around at the tops of the trees. Then he just stares at the black bark.
After thirty minutes of riding in the box, he's getting bored and then asks, "So, what's Buck like?" Jill just signs and as luck would have it. They reach the right branch and Jill then leads the way out of the wooden box. Jill still hasn't answered his question, but he doesn't mind. He was looking at the really big leaves that were growing on the other branches that were connected to the one they were walking on.
They then reach a building after a good five-minute walk. He just grins as he walks pass some red insects. They just turn and watch as they pass by, and then as he watches, they flap their wings and take off. They remind him of pictures of dragonflies. They soon stop at the door and he watches as Jill knocks on the door.
The door opens and an odd-looking robot bug. "Hey Shocker! I found a joker an hour away from the village. Is Buck free?" Jill asks the robotic bug. "Yip. Come on in! Nice to see you again Jill." Shocker opens the door wider and they walk into the building. He looks around and continues to follow Jill. He hears the door close and then turns to watch as Shocker opens the door to his right and walks into it, closing the door behind him.
Then he turns and catches up to Jill. They walk up a case of stairs and then into a hallway with pictures of different kinds of creatures. He's in awe of the different beings that were portrayed. There looks to be dragons, angels, and even devils.
He then turns to watch as Jill knocks on the door and then as an odd looking bird opens the door. "Aaaa, nice to see you again Jill. What brings you here today?" The bird asks as the door opens more. "I found this guy." Jill points to him. "He doesn't seem to be around here and I don't know what kind of Digimon he is, so I was hoping that you might know." Jill tells the bird. The bird then looks at him and then motions them into the room. He then enters the room and the door closes the door after he walks into the room.
"Thanks again, Buck." Jill says as she sits down. He looks at Buck more closely. The bird had this bush growing up of his back. Buck has a crown on his head and a bow tie. He takes a seat on a chair and watches as Buck begins to look at the books lining the one wall.
He hears Buck mutter to himself as Buck reads the back of the books. He waits and wonders when he'll wake up. He's come to the conclusion that this was all a dream and that soon, his going to wake up to find himself in his room.
Soon Buck seems to find the book he was looking for and takes it off the shelf. Buck then walks to the deck and lays the book onto the desk. He watches as Buck flips through the book and then come to a picture that looks like the statue that he touched.
"So, you're a Kovumon, a vaccine type, and a rookie level. According to this book, your attacks are Beast Fist and Desert Claw." Buck reads the words that are in the book.
He thinks about this and asks, "Ok, so now where do I go?" He could see that this catch Buck off guard. He shuts the book and thinks about it. Then at last, Buck says, "There is a great and wise Digimon. I do not his name but this Digimon is a Majiramon. He lives on an island called Union Gate. You must go east to the Storm Coast. Then sail across the Hail Ocean to Union Gate. I'll give you a map, come back tomorrow morning. I'll have a pack of things to help you on your way." They then stand up and Buck says, "Thanks for coming here, Jill. Could you bring him back here tomorrow?" Jill just sighs and nods. "I hope you can also speak of some … odd rumors that have reached me to this Majiramon as well. I'll be seeing you tomorrow, I don't think I have your name?" Buck says. "I'm Lan. And thanks for your help." He says to Buck.
They soon are out the door and he follows Jill. After they make it to the wooden elevator he then finally asks Jill, "So, where do you live?" Jill just sighs a long-suffering sigh.
(-------------------------------Chaud----------------------------------------)
He woke up and just stares into great green eyes. Then he feels something on his chest. He picks it up and hears someone giggle. He then finds himself holding a white creature with purple markings. He just sighs and the creature in his arms just giggle even harder.
"Hi! I'm Jinx! What's your name?" He hears the white creature say. "I'm Chaud." Was all he says. He lets go of Jinx when Jinx's ears grow. He blinks owlishly as Jinx floats around in the air. "Want to play?" Jinx asks. He just sighs and then begins to take a look at himself.
He's skin was dark red and he has a black spiral tribal tattoo on his right arm. He then takes note of the simple fact that he's wearing a black vest and baggy blue pants. He's not wearing any shoes and he finds that his ears are on the top of his head. He wonders just what he looks like.
He then begins to come up with a plan. He was a genius after all, so he should be able to figure out just what to do. He could easily hear Jinx yammer on and on about this, that, and another thing. He just tones the little guy out as he stares around the cool, wet, and dark room.
Deciding that it's a good idea to go exploring, he then heads to the doorway and, after taking one finally look around; he walks out of the room. He hears Jinx says, "Hey! Wait up!" He doesn't look back to see if Jinx is following him. For the moment, he didn't really care.
He walks for a good two hours through the underground passages. He decided against walking out in the open. He does wonder just why Jinx was still following him. He then stops and turns his head to look at the floating creature. "Why are you following me?" He asks the little guy. Jinx then cheerfully says, "Cause your interesting!" He just stares and wonders if there was a being as cheerful about everything as Jinx is. For all giving the poor creature a cold shoulder, the cute creature seemed happy to follow him around.
He then continues on his way. He then finds a sign that he decided meant bathrooms. He goes into the room and finds a broken mirror. The being in the mirror doesn't look too human. He had a short muzzle and his hair is dark green. He hair is spiked and was short. His ears move when he focusing different directions. He looks kind of like a kangroo. He's digigrade, he walks around on his toes, and he has a tail.
He turns away from the mirror and then heads out of the room. He was getting hungry, but he ignores it and continues to look for answers. He suddenly wonders if this was all just a dream. A small part of him really hopes so. He didn't know just what to think if this was all real. He wasn't even human and he was lost on an alien world without a way back.
He tries his hardest to shake such thoughts out of his head. He'll find the answers he needs, then he'll think about the best way to get back. He just wonders at kind of world he found himself stuck on, though. He also wonders if he's the only human here …
To be continued …
