Hey guys, Lunamon810 here. With a brand new digimon story, nonetheless. This isn't the sequel to Crest of Trust, I'm not working on that quite yet. But this idea has been pestering me for quite a while, so I decided to write on it. I hope this is just as good as Crest of Trust, if not better, though I doubt it'll ever be quite as special as Crest of Trust was to me. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it~

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon!

Claimer: I

do own Keyani!

Azulongmon, Magnadramon, Ebonwumon, Zhuqiaomon, Baihumon, Fanglongmon, Megidramon, and Goldramon were gathered together. The data of the digital world was becoming corrupted, and they were trying to figure out how to fix it. If they didn't fix it, the entire digital world could vanish, the digimon with it. Azulongmon sighed. "How about we call in a new set of digidestined?"

"Are you sure that will work this time? What if they or their digimon become corrupt too?" Magnadramon questioned.

"Since they will be data here it's possible, but also unlikely since they are still beings of another world where they are not data. As far as their digimon go, as long as they're careful, they will be fine. The digimon aren't corrupting nearly as fast as the world itself is, but you're right, they are corrupting. Which is why we must come up with a plan quickly, because we need to protect ourselves from the corruption. If just one of us becomes corrupt, then we could destroy the entire digital world."

"Do you mean we'll have to abandon the digital world?" Fanglongmon asked.

"For now we will. These digidestined will be our last hope."

"Are you sure there is no way we could fix this on our own?" Ebonwumon asked, hoping dearly that they didn't have to leave the fate of their world up to someone else, more less someone who probably had no idea what they were doing, what was going on, or anything about their world.

"We've already tried, trying more could be risky. We have to seal ourselves into the gates soon, that will be the last place to become corrupt. We'll have to hope these children will be able to to care of our world before it reaches that point."

"And what will happen to the children if we become corrupt?" Megidramon asked.

"To be honest, they will probably die along with us and our world."

"How will they know when they're ready?"

"When they find their crests. I scattered them across the digital world. When they find them, they'll be ready. It's to test and train them."

"Well lets hope they're fast at taking tests..." Baihumon commented under his breath.

"Do you know who to chose?" Zhuqiaomon asked, as if uncertain.

"Yes, I do. I have already set their course. They will arrive shortly. I will leave them some explanation as to what is going on, and what we need them to do. It's up to them from there." Azulongmon said, and the others slowly nodded in agreement. Azulongmon set it all up, and the eight digimon sealed themselves away into the gate of the digital world, unknowing of their world's fate.

The bright summer sun blazed through the windshield of my mother's car, irritating my eyes horribly. I stared out the window next to me, doing my best to ignore it. My mother continued to ramble on about my little brother Tyler's birthday today, telling me for at least the twelfth time what we still had to do, what we had to pick up, what type of cake she'd gotten him, every single detail that passed through her mind. I sighed and closed my eyes, trying to block out her rambling.

"And I decided the theme for the party would be superheroes, and-" Mom's voice was suddenly gone. I felt like I was falling, then realized I was. The car was gone, as was the blazing sun. I was falling down towards the ground far below me, the moon shining. I took a deep breath and prepared for the impact, trying to bend my knees correctly so I didn't hurt them when I landed. When I landed, a white little creature with tiny yellow feathered wings fluttered over.

"Haha! You made it! Finally!" It said in a slightly high-pitched male voice. I slowly leaned forward and poked it.

"What kind of toy are you? And just exactly where am I? Did we get in a car crash? Am I dead?"

"I am not a toy! I am a digimon!" It said, obviously offended. "You're in the digital world! My name is Cupimon."

I blinked. "The digital world? What's that?"

"It where you are right now, I just said that! You were picked by Azulongmon to help save our world, it's corrupted and starting to die. The other digimon are becoming corrupt too, we want to save them and the rest of the digiworld before it's too late! That's where you come in, you're my partner now, and we have to work together. When we find your crest, we'll be ready to face whatever is corrupting our world!"

"This sounds like the beginning of some type of video game." I said, getting onto my knees in front of it. "But there are no buttons, no way to interact..."

"It's not a game!" It said, flying up and hitting my cheek. I raised my hand to where it hit me. It may be small, but it packed a punch. "This is real! You have to take this seriously, we can't let the digiworld and all the digimon die!"

"Alright, alright. I believe you. Just calm down, Cupimon." I said, watching it fly back down onto the ground. "What's this crest thing you mentioned?"

"I'm not quite sure, Azulongmon didn't say. But he said we'll know it when we find it, and when we find it we'll be ready."

"And do we have the slightest idea as to what we're up against?"

"Not a clue!"

I sighed. "Of course. Typical. Well," I said standing up. "Come on. Lets get this over with so I can go home. I've been helping set up my brother's birthday party all day and I am not missing the cake and ice cream. Plus mom will have a fit anyway, I just disappeared from my car," Cupimon perked up and ran over to a device on the ground. He picked it up and struggled to fly up with it, so I walked over to him and let him place it in my hands. "What's this?"

"This is your digivice! It'll help me digivolve when the time comes." I looked the device over in my hands, observing it, then put it in my pocket and nodded.

"Alright, anything else, Cupimon?"

"Nope! Lets go!"

"Well first I have two questions." I admitted, crossing my arms, looking at the hovering white digimon. "What's 'digivolve'? And where do we go?"

"Well, first of all, digivolution is when I gain more data and transform into a bigger and stronger digimon! I won't always be able to stay like that, and I'll only digivolve when necessary, like when we're in a fight," He paused for a second. "And I have no idea where we're supposed to go. All I know is what Azulongmon told me, and he didn't say what we're supposed to do directly after you got here."

I sighed. "Of course. I get the feeling I won't be making it home in time for the cake."

"Oh would you forget about the cake! We have more important goals right now then eating some stupid cake for some stupid party! This is my world at stake here, if we don't fix it then I'll die, and so will the rest of the digimon, and the entire digiworld! And you're stuck here now too, so it should mean a lot to you too, because if it dies, so will you!"

"Wait a second, I never even asked to come here! Now you're telling me because someone, Azulongmon or whatever his name was, brought me here, I have no way to go back, and if I fail, I'll die!? That's not fair! I never asked to come here!"

"Don't you even care about me? And the digiworld? All you care about is yourself, and it's so annoying!" Cupimon said, stomping his foot in mid-air. "If you don't care about what happens to me, than I don't care about what happens to you, I'm leaving!" Cupimon said and started flying away. I started chasing after him.

"Wait a second you, get back here! I don't even know where in this world I am, you can't just bring me here, expect me to save your world, then abandon me! Get back here! Cupimon!" But he was gone. He was fast, and he got so far away I couldn't see him anymore. I growled irritatedly. How could he just abandon me like that!?

I wandered around, hoping to find someone who could help me. But the place was completely abandoned, no one was around. For all I knew I was walking in the complete opposite direction from civilization. It was getting increasingly colder as well, even with my black jacket zipped over my dark purple t-shirt, and my black scrunch pants pulled down into the tops of my black leather ankle-high boots. I suddenly wished my black leather gloves weren't fingerless, which I had never wished before. It was getting so cold. I started wondering if Cupimon was alright, assuming he was still going in the same direction I was. He was small, which meant he'd be more affected by the cold than I was.

The wind started picking up, so I pulled my fur hood up over my black hair, which I kept inside of my jacket for warm, it reaching about my mid back and curling just a little bit at the end. I was certain that Cupimon would get hurt in this cold wind, and I picked up the pace, determined to find him. I was still mad. but not even my stubborn anger could keep me from worrying more and more as the seconds ticked by.

It started snowing almost out of the blue, and it became even more difficult to see. I wondered if I would even be able to see him now that the snow was falling, since he was about as white as it was, minus his wings, nails, light yellow eyes, and the black markings around them. And with how the wind was blowing the snow into my already squinted eyes, I could probably look straight at him and still not see him. I really started to wish I'd just shut up earlier.

"Cupimon!" I called, but no response. I started to get into an area with few trees, but trees nonetheless. I looked at each one carefully, hoping he'd flew into the shelter of a tree, but I didn't see him. I kept looking, my mind starting to put horrible images of the poor little guy freezing to death or being buried by snow. I started walking carefully, afraid I might step on him if he was buried beneath the already thick layer of snow.

"H-help me..." I heard a small voice say. I froze and turned around. In the snow a few feet behind me I saw the tips of his tiny wings sticking out of the snow. I rushed to unbury him, and carefully did so. I brushed off as much snow as I could, and eventually gave up and getting it all of, since it continued to snow heavily onto him. I gave him one final brush and put him within my jacket, trying to warm him up as much as I could as I sat there, hugging him as close as I could. Why I cared so much about someone I'd just met and got into a fight with, I'd never know. But I did, and I didn't care where I went now as long as he was okay.

"Thank you..." he said quietly.

"Shh... Save your energy." I stood up, now determined to find a village or something where we could take shelter, for the sake of Cupimon. I started running, building up more warmth in my jacket for Cupimon and I. "Don't worry Cupimon, I'll get us somewhere warm soon. I don't know how I'll find it yet, but I will. And then once we're better and this snowstorm leaves, we'll find my crest and save your world. I promise. And Cupimon, my name is Kayani."

I'd realized earlier Cupimon never learned my name, we got into a fight too quickly. I was going to have to learn to cope with Cupimon, or else one of us could get hurt. I kept running and running, even though it hurt my lungs deeply to keep running. "Just hold on Cupimon. Just hold on." I kept thinking. I felt my body slowly start just wanting to lay down and give up, but I wouldn't. If I gave up, not only would Cupimon freeze to death, but I would break my promise. I wouldn't be able to save his world.

I was about ready to try to find a tree to take shelter in when I saw a faint light, not too far away. I felt my heartbeat speed up even more with new found hope as I sped up myself, determined to make it. There was a small village of snow-covered huts, and I immediately found one's door and knocked on it. A orange dinosaur creatures opened the door, but I didn't care what it looked like. "Please, you have to let us come in. I'm worried about Cupimon." I said, pulling the small digimon out of my jacket. He'd fallen asleep quite a bit ago. "Please..."

"Of course, come in. Hurry, don't let the warmth escape." It said and I nodded thankfully and dashed in. He led me to a firepit in the corner, where I laid Cupimon down next to it. I shredded my snow-drenched jacket and knocked as much as I could off myself, the rest starting to melt anyways. I still panted as the digimon, I assume it was a digimon anyways, carried over a bowl of soup, with bits of mushroom inside.

"Eat it, it'll warm you inside and out. It's home made, I promise it's good." I nodded gratefully and started eating it. He was right. It warmed me up almost instantly, and it didn't taste too bad either. Not that I cared. Mom and I were supposed to be on our way to lunch after one more stop, and I was already starving at that point. By this point in time, after running and my body fighting to keep warm, I felt like my stomach could, and was starting to, cave in. Once I was full, I handed the bowl back to the orange digimon. "Thank you, sir."

"You don't have to be so formal, call me by my name, I'm Agumon." He said, the 'mon' pretty much confirming for me that he was a digimon. I nodded, then heard Cupimon make some type of yawn-like noise, so I looked down at him. He slowly sat up and blinked hard, then looked at me.

"Keyani, it's warm." He said confused. "Did we die?"

I shook my head, laughing slightly, thoroughly relieved. "We made it to a village. Agumon here let us in." I felt tears come to my eyes as the images re entered my mind of the small white digimon freezing to death. Despite his small size I hugged him tight. "I was so worried about you. Please, don't run off like that again."

"Okay." Cupimon said, sounding confused. "Why are you crying?"

"I thought you were going to die out there. I kept searching for you, and once I found you I thought you were already dying. I thought I was going to give up, but I couldn't let you die... I couldn't break my promise to you. To save your world. If I gave up, I would die too, and it would be my fault we and your world died. I couldn't let that happen, Cupimon."

Once I released Cupimon, He flew back about a foot and smiled up at me. "Thank you, Keyani,"
