Author's Note

Since I've finished Pay your Price, I thought I'd start on this story, since it's been swimming around in my mind for awhile. And while researching for my TOK essay, I found some interesting information...

Anyway, this is my first seasons crossover with Digimon, so hopefully it'll work out. Explainations as per normal are at the end of the chapter (or prologue in this case).

Anyway, read and enjoy, and please tell me what you think. Opinions and critiques are welcome. Flames, won't recognise them because no-one's telling me what they are.

Intertwined

x-over all seasons. It is chaos. As such, it longs for control...its own form of order: complete control over all life. But it overlooked one thing, like the rest. The unpredictability of human emotions, and the fact that there are some who make the impossible possible.

Prologue – ex nihilo nihil fit

There was never a time when the worlds did not exist, and their shadows, parallel, yet threaded together by the very core of their existence. They were not created from nothing, nor can they simply cease to exist, but that that is not to say that it isn't possible for them to transform into some other form.

And through these...evolutions of sorts, certain elements of life are lost. Not all in existence is transmigrated; through the very struggle for existence and dominance some are eliminated at quite early stages. The balance shifts, and eventually...utter chaos. Resulting in an almost complete annihilation of the universe.

But the basics survive. And from these foundations, a new world order is built. Only for it to collapse and be remade once more.

And through it all, chaos dwells. Like all else, it cannot exist without its antithesis: order. And it cannot thrive while order is the one dominant. And yet, it is the cause of all destruction...and eventually rebirth.

But like all else, chaos has a will of its own. And like all else, it longs for dominance; it lusts for its own order. To it, all other forms of order exist only as chaos. And the only way for it to achieve its aim is complete and utter control over all life; to completely eradicate the concept of free will. A control fabricated from the very vital threads of existence; there will be no past, no present, no future...only the void, from which all life originated.

And all it will take is a simple seed to sprout.

And then...the balance will shift once more.

Notes

The void mentioned is not nothingness, but rather empty space; gaps between structures in the universe. That difference is important, because in this story, the void is the origin of all existence. And if chaos achieves its aim in controlling that, then it will essentially have the power to control the rebirth of the new world. Just in case I didn't make that clear.

In this particular story, the universe is a space-time continuum, meaning that the events in Adventure and Adventure 02 happen in Earth and the Digital World before the first destruction. The two worlds are then rebuilt, where the events of the Tamers series happen, followed by the events from Data Squad, before the worlds are destroyed again, and remade, where the events from Frontier occur. The worlds are all linked due to the time continuum, and present time is a few years after the end of season 4.

The ex nihilo nihil fit is a latin phrase, and a term for an old philosophical concept where everything was not simply created from nothing and thus cannot simply cease to exist.

Chaos will be referred to mostly in lower case, because it is more of a concept than a name.

First arc will be the Frontier arc, and I'll be working backwards in time. Just thought I'd clear that up.

I just started off with this so there's some sort of foundation for later on. Pretty philosophical, and a bit religious I think. Just keep in mind that just because I wrote this, doesn't mean I believe it. The weird ideas Theory of Knowledge gives ya...
