Well here we go, as promised, the what should have happened fic! Many thanks
to all the people who gave the preview such good reviews- the rest of the series won't
disappoint! So without further ado, let's begin!
Digimon World Tour pt 1-
Dramon Power
It was Christmas day in Odaiba, but rather sitting round a tree opening and exchanging gifts, there was a group of children who had much more important thoughts in mind. They were the Digidestined, and for them, the next 7 days would be the test of their lives.
Yesterday, on Christmas Eve, was when it all started. Just like 4 years ago, when Myotismon invaded Odaiba, giant digimon had appeared in the city. However, the very important difference is they were accompanied by, and created from Control Spires- building-sized obsidian monuments that, with the help of the Digidestined's foe Arukenimon, could be transformed into perfect replicas of digimon, without free will, a mind or emotion- mindless but extremely powerful foot soldiers. Yesterday, the digidestined were forced to interrupt the festivities and battle these invading digimon, and they succeeded- but as they were soon to find out, the problem was a lot wider than they'd thought.
In Highton View Terrace, Tai and Kari Yagami were watching TV, awestruck at the events unfolding in front of them.
Our top story today- it has been reported that all around the globe, hundreds of strange towers have appeared overnight. These towers are obelisk-shaped and pure black, but perhaps even more sinister about these mysterious objects are the monsters that have appeared round them. Yes ladies and gentlemen, you heard me right- monsters. Wherever these towers appear, these monsters accompany them.
Images flashed up on the screen- in Tokyo, people were fleeing down the street as a WaruMonzaemon chased them, whereas in France a Knightmon was laying waste to a building. In New York, dozens of Rookie and Champion digimon were swarming through the streets and over buildings.
I can't believe it, Kari! How on earth could Arukenimon seed the entire earth with Control Spires, and start turning them into digimon in one night? asked Tai.
Not all of those digimon are Spire digimon, Tai, replied Kari. She pointed to the latest image on-screen, of a Pegasusmon over the skies of England. Spire digimon are missing the Crest imagery on their bodies, which this digimon has. And furthermore- The next image that flicked up on screen was of a small village in Africa, where a Cockatrimon was under attack from a group of villagers.
Under their skin, Dark Tower digimon are still the black rock they were built from. But that Cockatrimon was injured, Tai- it was bleeding. That means that most of the digimon all over the world are real.
And that means that the barriers between our world and the digital world are breaking down all over the world. This is seriously bad! remarked Tai. Just then, he heard a tapping on the wall.
Wonder what that could be? remarked Mrs.Yagami.
Probably rats- come on Kari, let's go, said Tai, walking in the direction of his room. He knew, of course, that it wasn't rats, but rather his partner Agumon trying to get his attention.
What's the news, Agumon? asked Tai, upon entering his room.
We've received some E-Mails, replied Kari's partner, Gatomon, at the computer terminal. Let's see Shock the Monkey you may have already won 1 million smackers How do these sign up for XXX sites know our address? Gatomon quickly deleted all the junk. Ah, here we are- a mail from Izzy.
Dear Tai
I trust you've seen the reports on TV. I've contracted an old friend of ours who may be able to help us with our situation. Come over to my place as soon as you can for the good news.
-Izzy
(PS- If you got any candy for Christmas you don't want, bring it over here- I just can't get enough of the stuff!
-Tentomon)
So, with Agumon and Gatomon in tow, and carrying a few bars of chocolate, Tai and Kari made their way to Izzy's place. They were surprised to see the rest of the digidestined there- Davis, Sora, Matt, TK, Joe, Cody, Yolei and Ken. Despite the fact that it was the early hours of the morning in America even Mimi was present, via a video link-up through Izzy's computer.
So, why did you call us here, Izzy? asked Matt.
I've found out why Arukenimon and Mummymon have been placing Control Spires all over the world, replied Izzy. When in the real world, these spires have an unpleasant effect on the borders between our world and the digital world. They're breaking down, and if they disappear altogether, both worlds will merge together. There's a lot of evil digimon who would have a field day taking over our world should that happen- but at the moment, there's only one we really need to worry about.
A beeping noise from Izzy's computer caught his attention. Ah, I see our guest has arrived. Davis, could you do me a favour and open the Digiport?
Sure thing, Iz, replied Davis. Izzy quietly grumbled something about how he hated that nickname. Digiport open!
A beam of light zapped from Davis' D3, causing the familiar shape of the Digiport, the gateway to the digital world, to appear on Izzy's screen. A beam of light shot out, but rather than pulling them in, a figure materialised in the room. He was completely covered in a cream-coloured rode and looked like someone out of Star Wars.
Who is this guy, a Jedi? asked TK.
Not Jedi, replied the figure, pulling back the hood which covered his face.
The digidestined couldn't believe it. Standing in front of them was a handsome young man, looking like he was about 18 or 19 years old. The last time they had seen Gennai, he was a short old man. What had happened?
You mean this is Gennai? gasped Cody.
Hello Digidestined, it's been a while, said Gennai. You've all grown up a lot since I last saw you.
That's right, but it looks like you've grown down! You were an old man last time we saw you, noted TK.
He's the most incredible hunk of an old man I've ever seen swooned Yolei.
Yes, I have you to thank for that. When you defeated the Dark Master Piedmon, it broke the curse he put on me, returning me to my proper state. It's kind of a shame, actually, because now I can't fit in that Mechanorimon suit I tell you, I had some adventures with that thing. Why I remember
He may be younger, but his personality hasn't changed much, groaned Matt.
Gennai laughed nervously at Matt's comment. Anyway, giant robots aside, I have some important information for you. I trust you know all about the control spires that have been appearing all over the world.
The Digidestined nodded.
This whole plot is being masterminded by an ancient demon lord digimon, by the name of Demon. He has sent his minions to plant Control Spires all over the world, so that he can break down the barriers between the real world and the digital world.
You mean Arukenimon and Mummymon? asked Ken.
someone much more dangerous than those 3. Gennai tapped on Izzy's computer screen, until 3 Digimon Analyser screens popped up. One was of a large, skeletal digimon, with red armour and large bat-like wings. The other was of a muscular blue digimon that looked like a combination of a squid digimon named Gesomon and Devimon. The final digimon was a familiar sight- a female demon digimon wrapped in a combination of black rags and silver armour.
These are SkullSatamon, Marine Devimon and Lady Devimon, explained Gennai. Together they make up the Demon Corps, the 3-mon army that's responsible for planting these Control Spires across the world. In order to stop Demon from entering this world, you digidestined will have to undo all the work they have done and defeat the Demon Corps.
Wait a minute! You're saying that we'll have to go all over the world and get rid of these Control Spires? asked Tai.
Not the whole world- there are 5 locations across the globe that are the control centres of the other spires. If you can knock out Control Spires in Australia, Tokyo, France, Mexico City and New York, then the rest will become inactive.
So, we're going to have to go on a World Tour, huh? asked TK.
We'll have to battle digimon all over the world in order to restore peace, said Matt.
I know this seems like a big task, which is why I have a gift for you before you go, said Gennai. He revealed a small wooden box from his robe.
Azulongmon crafted his 12 Digicores into these gifts for you. They will be very useful to you, I'm sure.
He opened the box, and the digidestined gasped in awe. Inside the box were 12 Tags and Crests. Courage, Friendship, Knowledge, Love, Reliability, Sincerity, Hope and Light- they were all there. There were 4 more, too. Each of the 7 original digidestined took their crest from the box. Gennai took the crest of Sincerity from the box and walked over to the computer.
Mimi, catch! he shouted, throwing the crest through the Digiport. The crest shot out of the Digiport on Mimi's end, and she gratefully put it on.
Davis, Yolei, Ken and Cody. I have 4 Tags for you, too. Ken, you already have the crest that goes in here- the crest of Kindness.
Gennai gave the Tag to Ken, and he inserted the pink crest of Kindness before slipping it around his neck.
Yolei, to you I present the Crest of Passion, said Gennai. He handed Yolei her crest, which was a ruby red colour and resembled a crystalline heart.
Cody, yours is the Crest of Integrity. Cody's crest was a pale blue in colour, and the image resembled a pillar.
And Davis, yours is the Crest of Miracles. Davis' crest was gold, and bore the same image on the Digi-Egg of Miracles he had once used to digivolve Veemon into Magnamon.
These crests are stronger than anything you've ever used before, continued Gennai. With Azulongmon's power, you will be able to digivolve your partner to the Mega level. Tai, Matt, Izzy, Mimi, Joe, Sora- you will be able to do this straight away, but TK, Kari, Ken, Davis, Yolei and Cody, will have to activate the crest in the same way as the others did- by displaying your crest trait, your partner will gain the ability to reach the Mega level. Nothing's perfect, but it's the best I could do.
You don't have to apologise, Gennai- this is the best we could have hoped for! Thank you, ever so much! smiled Izzy.
The moment was suddenly broken, as the entire building was shook by a tremendous blast of energy! The digidestined rushed to the window to see the source of the attack. Down below, they could see three digimon launching an attack on the building. One of them was a giant white Leomon, the other a giant boulder-turtle hybrid, and the last was the armoured black skeleton Gennai had showed them.
(Digimon Analyser)
I'm SkullSatamon, master of the Demon Corps! I'm also a master of fighting with my bone staff, and nothing can stand in my path when I use it to execute a tremendous Skull Hammer! the huge skeleton intoned.
The iceman cometh, and his name's Panjyamon! This ice titan's the evolved form of Leomon, and he's 20 times stronger than his goody-two-shoes champion form! he continued.
Finally, there's Jagmon. He may be clumsy, slow-witted, stupid, disgusting hey, come to think of it, why do I keep him around anyway? It must be because his Potato Smash can mash his opponents as if they were boiled root veggies!
Be careful, digidestined. This is the first members of the Demon Corps you're dealing with, warned Gennai.
(DIGIVOLVE MODE- ON)
Demiveemon digivolve to- Veemon! Veemon digivolve to- ExVeemon!
Upamon digivolve to- Armadillomon! Armadillomon digivolve to- Ankylomon!
Poromon digivolve to- Hawkmon! Hawkmon digivolve to- Aquilamon!
Tentomon digivolve to- Kabuterimon!
Gomamon digivolve to- Ikkakumon!
(DIGIVOLVE MODE- OFF)
Harpoon Torpedo! Ikkakumon yelled, firing a barrage of missiles at Jagamon. The huge mutant's stony skin absorbed the blasts, only causing a few bits of gravel to break off.
Blast Rings!
V Laser!
Aquilamon and ExVeemon unleashed a storm of firepower at Panjyamon, throwing up a storm of dust. The towering digimon leapt out of the smoke, with only a few scratches to show for it.
Megaton Press!
Beetle Horn Attack!
Kabuterimon and Ankylomon tried the direct approach, racing forwards to battle Skullsatamon at close quarters. However, thanks to his staff, they couldn't get close, and he knocked them back with little effort.
Now it's our turn! roared Panjyamon, drawing his sword. How about ice and a slice? he continued, attacking ExVeemon with his sword. The hailing blows caused ExVeemon to devolve back to Veemon.
I could go for a mixed grill! replied Jagamon, launching a barrage of flames at Ikkakumon, Ankylomon and Kabuterimon. The digidestined watched painfully as the attack caused them to devolve back to their rookie forms.
They're overwhelming us! gasped Cody.
Skullsatamon is the leader of the gang, and he knocked them for a loop with his staff. I'm going to try and disarm him! shouted Davis. To the confusion of the others, he ran over to a nearby shop and started climbing the ladder onto the roof of the building.
And of course, there's always the roast turkey! said Skullsatamon, advancing on Aquilamon. He twirled his huge staff in a figure-of-eight motion, knocking Aquilamon to the floor. Without pausing for breath, he fired a hail of bone splinters at Aquilamon, knocking him across the floor and causing him to dedigivolve to Hawkmon. Without stopping to think, Yolei ran to Hawkmon's side to check on her partner.
Hawkmon, are you alright? wailed Yolei, noticing the multitude of scratches the Nail Bone attack had given him.
Yolei! No! shouted TK, noticing what Yolei had not- Skullsatamon was quickly advancing towards her. Before TK could do any more, Skullsatamon grabbed Yolei by her coat and dangled her in the air.
You made a mistake, Yolei, and in this business there's no room for that kind of error! This is the end for you, Skull Hammer!
With amazing strength, Skullsatamon tossed Yolei into the air, and prepared to impale her with his barbed staff. However, Davis had other plans.
Let's see how strong you are without your staff! shouted Davis, jumping from the roof of the building to grab Skullsatamon's staff, which he had pulled back like a javelin. He pulled it out of the digimon's hand mid-flight, and crashed roughly to the ground next to Yolei.
do you realise how stupid a move that was? groaned Yolei, trying to pull herself up.
choice did I have? He would have killed you otherwise replied Davis
Well now it looks like he's going to get us both! gasped Yolei, noticing that Jagamon and Panjyamon were towering over them. However, the two ultimates were suddenly blasted back by a fierce blast of light.
What in the world where's that light coming from? shouted Cody from nearby. Kari's eyes widened as she traced the beams of light back to their source.
It's the crest! Davis, that light's coming from your crest! she called.
Davis pulled out the golden necklace from the folds of his jacket.
The symbol of Miracles was pulsing with golden light.
I guess I did it! I activated my crest! whooped Davis.
And that means I can digivolve! added Veemon.
(DIGIVOLVE MODE- ON)
Davis's D3 shot a beam of light from it, which passed through the crest and sent the image of Miracles shooting into the air.
VEEMON, WARP DIGIVOLVE TO-
Veemon was covered in a blast of gold light, which caused him to evolve into ExVeemon. From somewhere, armour and muscle grew, transforming him into Paildramon. For a few seconds, the image of Azulongmon darted across the sky, sending a burst of stars and lightening to the ground below. The land below Paildramon's feet transformed into a volcano, and a cone of flame erupted below his feet. However, rather than burning him, the flame began to reshape Paildramon's body, transforming him into a monstrous dragon. His insectoid armour turned into a dark black exo-frame, and his body finished his transformation into a huge lizard. Paildramon had become a huge armoured dragon, with golden claws, an ivory mask and a cannon on his back. His wings fanned out as he bellowed his name-
(DIGIVOLVE MODE- OFF)
(Digimon Analyser)
I am Veemon's fully-evolved form, the mega digimon Imperialdramon! I am the king of all dragon digimon, and if anyone disputes it they're obliterated by my Positron Laser and Giga Crusher!
The balance of power is once again tilting in our favour! bellowed Imperialdramon.
So this is your true power, growled Skullsatamon.
You don't scare us one bit! Fried Potato! shouted Jagamon, firing a stream of fiery liquid at Imperialdramon. The goo splattered across his breastplate, but the huge dragon was merely annoyed by the attack.
This armour's brand new, and you go and mess it up with your poor attempt at cookery? I'll make Julienne fries out of you! assured Imperialdramon. He flashed his huge golden claws, and in a few seconds Jagamon was nothing more than a few slices of disintegrating data.
You can deal with fire, but what if I clip your wings with my ice? Ice Fist of the Beast King! shouted Panjyamon, firing a double-barrelled ice punch at Imperialdramon's wings. However, the dragon mega flapped his wings, and the air storm blew Panjyamon's two blast back at him.
Ice Sword! shouted Panjyamon, forced to destroy his own blasts so they didn't freeze him. Ice Sword! he yelled once more, only this time he was diving at Imperialdramon with his sword above his head. Imperialdramon simply grabbed the blade, and with a blast of dragon's fire melted it down to slag.
Your sword's as tough as an icicle in July. This is a real attack! he assured, as the cannon on his back whined into life.
Positron Laser! Imperialdramon called, firing a thick laser blast that punched through Panjyamon and deleted him in a flash of energy.
I've got another Positron Laser with your name on it, Skullsatamon! shouted Imperialdramon, turning to face the digimon's evil leader.
Sorry Imperialdramon, but my doctor told me to cut down on my positive particles. Perhaps when I'm in better health! joked Skullsatamon, disappearing in a cloud of fire.
Without any reason to be in it any longer, Imperialdramon left his mega form and shrunk back into Veemon.
That wash an awful joke! Doctorsh, huh! Who does he think he ish anyway? grumbled Veemon.
Yeah, he should just leave the jokes to the professionals from now on, grinned Davis. Like us!
Well, it's certainly a surprise to me! I don't even remember Kari entering any contest and here she is, going on a round-the-world cruise! noted Mrs. Yagami.
Don't worry about a thing, Mrs. Yagami- I'll take care of everything, assured Gennai, who was currently standing in the doorway in civilian clothes. You two ready to go?
All set! replied Tai, carrying several large suitcases. The three of them walked outside.
You needn't have packed so much, said Gennai, indicating the huge cases.
He hasn't packed anything, except us! said Agumon, jumping out of the case.
We just needed to sneak out without being seen, added Gatomon, as she popped her head out from Kari's backpack.
I told you I'd take care of everything, said Gennai.
Round the world cruise'? How did you get my mom to believe that? asked Tai.
A couple Jedi mind tricks I found written down on a piece of paper in that robe's inside pocket, joked Gennai. The group made their way to the outskirts of town, where the others were waiting.
So, it's all set then? asked Kari.
Yup. Me and Tai will head to France, Matt and Ken are heading to Mexico City, you're going to Tokyo with Sora and Yolei, Davis will meet up with Mimi and Michael in New York and Joe and Cody will head to Australia, informed TK.
I'm staying in Odaiba with Gennai to hold down the fort, informed Izzy.
If we come across any new developments, one of my assistants in your country will relay the information to you. They'll be with you every step of the way, added Gennai.
So, here we go, said Davis, climbing onto the back of Imperialdramon, who was going to carry them all to their destinations.
Yup, our biggest adventure yet, said Ken. Once everyone was on board, Imperialdramon spread his wings and took off.
Before you face the biggest test of your lives, there's important information you need to know, began Imperialdramon as they took off. You're free to move about the cabin- however, when the fasten seatbelts light comes on, please return to your seats and buckle up. Should we lose pressure during the flight, don't panic- it's probably just something I ate
