Digimon: Reality Fracture
Chapter 1: Creation
In the dying town of Anders there's not much here but a Wal-Mart and an empty mall. Most people don't think much of this town, but that's because they can only see what's on the surface. If they were to dig about ten miles down they'd find an underground laboratory performing illegal experiments, not only on animals but on people too.
One such experiment was a young girl by the name of Talulu. She guessed by her height and weight that she was about nine with blond hair perpetually streaked with pink. Talulu often dreamed of leaving her captors lab and seeing her mother again; she was beginning to forget what her mother even looked like. But with guards everywhere she had no chance. That is till one day, during an experiment to test how much information she could take in, she saw a single picture of a mouse like creature flash before her eyes for a split second, before the next picture flashed on. That day she failed her test as the only thing she could remember was that little creature.
Having failed her test, she was sent to the isolation room. She didn't really mind though as she was fixated on that picture. She used her photographic memory to remind herself of every detail. It was white with a big head with a body too small to possibly support it. It's ears were wide like and elephant's with a purple outline. The thing that caught her eye the most about it though was the symbol on it's forehead, a cluster of triangles in a familiar pattern. Being that she couldn't clearly remember where she'd seen it meant that she had saw it before coming to this dark place.
Curling into a ball she drifted asleep. In her dreams she imagined playing with the white fuzz ball. Talulu and the thing would play tag with just the two of them, she even imagined that it could fl with it's ears like Dumbo. This was the first good nights sleep that Talulu had gotten in years. When she woke up she didn't want the dream to end and in a way, it didn't. Laying beside her was the creature of her dreams.
Talulu's initial reaction was to scream. No one could hear her though, as the isolation room was sound proof, no one that is except Calumon. Calumon shrunk his ears and covered then. He pleaded with her not to yell so loud. At the sound of Calumon speaking English, Talulu screamed even louder. This was doing her no good though and after awhile she quieted down leaving an awkward silence between the two.
Calumon was the one to break the silence. He stuttered a bit, but managed a simple greeting. Talulu did the same with a wide eyed stare. It amazed her that the 2-D cartoon was here in the flesh. She anaylsed him and saw Calumon's soft fur. Not being near any animals for years, she was tempted to rub his head. Calumon noticed this and smiled.
"I don't mind, you're my mama after all!" said Calumon cheerfully.
And so with a simple pat of the head, Talulu and Calumon became quick friends. They talked for hours about whatever Talulu could think of , as Calumon was like a new born who knew nothing of the world. He didn't even know what his name was or that he was a Digimon. But Talulu didn't mind, so long as she had someone to talk to. She was happy for a short while.
As time passed Talulu got more and more desperate. She knew she would only e kept in the isolation cell for a day as they thought she was too valuable to let starve for long. When the time came to let her out there's be no way Calumon wouldn't be seen. He's be taken from Talulu and be subject to who knows what. She couldn't let that happen.
In the cell there was only white padded walls and a door locked from the other side. There was nothing else in the there but an air vent that was too high and too small for her to escape through, but not for Calumon if he flew. She hadn't seen Calumon ever fly though except in her dream. Could he really fly with his ears? Talulu started wildly throwing Calumon in the air while shouting at him to fly.
"I don't know how!" said Calumon waving his hands and feet.
"No, use your ears, your ears!" replied Talulu.
Calumon enlarged his ears as big as he could and flapped them like wings. It took a moment but then there he was zipping through the air. Talulu cried out in delight. When he came back down she told him her plan for his escape. He didn't want to leave her though. Calumon begged to let him stay.
"You're my only chance. If you get out you can tell people I'm here!"
Calumon nodded, although sad, he knew he had a mission to do. He sulked as he flew to the air vent. He banged at the grate over the vent, but it was useless; there was no getting it open. Talulu aready figured as much and was prepared for the consequences of opening it.
Talulu briefly closed her eyes before changing her irises to a bright shade of pink. Using her sharp stare the steel grate ripped open. Then she did sirens went off. Calumon hesitated for a single moment, looking back at Talulu before flying through the vent. He had no way of knowing what tortures she'd be put through for helping him escape.
