I don't own digimon.

Episode 1

The crimson circle glowed bright red, with a salamon sitting in the middle. The creature probably didn't deserve any of this at all, not that the opinion of it would have been taken into account.

Its drawers stood at the edge of the ritual and watched. It was a teenage boy, dressed in a set of crimson robes and a matching hood decorated with black symbols. A teenage girl stood beside him, dressed in pretty much the exact same outfit. Neither of their faces could be seen, preventing anyone from identifying them for the moment. Even then, the boy was on the cusp of adulthood, while girl held strong in the middle of adolescence.

"I offer this sacrifice in the name of the grand demon lord, Snowballmon!" the boy announced, slamming both of hand down onto the circle, ala Fullmetal Alchemist. Energy surged throughout the room and into the salamon, making the vast amount of potions and vials explode their contents on. What followed was thick gray smoke filling the room and more red lightning shooting out of the circle and into the sacrifice. A few seconds later, the smoke finally cleared, revealing an azure colored Gatomon with a set of white demonic ram horns and purple wings with a black outline. Blues flames engulfed it, yet the creature didn't seem to notice at all.

"Oh lord Snowballmon, what are your orders?" the girl added, only for a gunshot to fly through the southern wall and impact into the ground. "Fuck."

More bullets intruded into their inner sanctum, ready to take everything they had worked so hard to get. The boy immediately scooped their demonic creation up and shoved it into a plain yellow backpack. Afterwards, he

"How dare you stuff the great Snowballmon into such a small container!" the demon thing announced, only for his cries of terror to be ignored.

"Do you want to be captured by the cops?" the boy whispered, watching the bullets pierce through their walls.

"No?"

"Exactly so, my demonic friend." After saying that, he slipped the backpack on and pulled a pistol out. He then loaded six rounds in and glanced over at his partner. "Ready, Harmony?"

"Sure." the girl answered, creating a halberd from thin air. After, the two cautiously made their way to the door and exited.

Outside, the dark sheets of night hung overhead, ready to take someone away. As such, about a dozen police cars surrounded the building, ready to shoot the trio. In the distance, the roaring of an extravagant fountain could be heard among the many police radios.

"Is this all you got?" the protagonist announced, giving all his possible opponents the finger. "I bet you can't hit the side of a barn!"

A stream of bullets shot out, only for the boy to laugh. A crimson orb formed into his free hand, only to be thrown up into the air. He then fired a shot off, watching the orb shatter into a million pieces and pierce into their opponents' bodies.

Hazard Slice!

Harmony slammed her halberd into an officer, only to pull it out. Her opponent fell to the ground, pink blood gushing out. Strangely, the mage stood over the body and began licking the liquid up. While she did that, her partner took down even more officers with his ball and gun technique. But, more and more squad cars continued to pull up at their little abode. Eventually, the squad cars gave way to helicopters, followed by police tanks until…

"Freeze."

A large storm of snow and wind whipped through the area, knocking both the protagonist and Harmony to the ground. Handcuffs were then clasped onto their arms and legs, squeezing away any mobility they had for the time.

After, a figure approached and pulled them into his vehicle, taking them away…

"Where the fuck are we?"

Our still unnamed protagonist opened his eyes. He, Harmony and "SnowGatomon" were now trapped in some sort of cube of air, yet unable to leave it. Around them, someone had the nerve to build an entire building around their cell, with bare stone walls and

"Good, you've awoken." A voice remarked, only for a teenage boy around Harmony's age to walk up. For his age, he appeared quite buff, yet gentle. He was dressed in a dark blue shirt with a police badge over the heart along with a matching belt and pants. Hanging off the belt was usual radio, baton and handgun supplied to most police. Finishing off his look was the typical peaked cap worn by public safety officers. His face stared back at them with a look of anger yet curiosity, possibly attempting to predict the duo's next move. "Tell me, who are you two?"

He didn't answer, not even awarding his captor with eye contact. Instead, he focused on Harmony, who was ready to julienne their creation.

"You should consider yourself lucky. I could have easily just killed you right here, maybe dessert you to all the other psychos that prowl around." the officer explained, placing his pistol up against the 'wall' of the cell. "And yet, I allowed you to live."

The trio simultaneously sighed.

"Just cut to the case." Harmony remarked, only to lick her lips. "Because I'm getting hungry, and I mean really hungry. I could just escape and eat you at this point."

Her master only sighed, placing his left hand on her shoulder.

"It'll be alright." the boy whispered, only to receive snickering from SnowGatomon. He went for his gun, only to find it not on him. It has possibly been confiscated by their jailer earlier. Nonetheless, he jabbed his fist into the demonic cat, knocking it into the back of the transparent wall.

"I would like make a deal with you, Mr.…" the officer started, only for the protagonist to roll his eyes. "…Smith. But, you have to agree to one thing."

Harmony's eyes lit up, as if someone had just shoved a large plate of meat her way and shouted "dig in". Her companion, on the other hand, looked more nonchalant about all this. He was probably plotting something of malicious intent, but was currently sticking to the "quiet" approach for now.

"And what would that be?" he finally answered, breaking his stance of silence after just 20 seconds.

"You help me out with some 'things' and I'll let you free."

His gaze returned to Harmony, who looked more than ready to leave this place.

"As in what?" their captor only laughed. The teenager then cleared his throat, cracking a cocky smile.

"Evergreen, my dear friend."
