OK LET'S GET THIS FIC STARTED!
"Too long have I been trapped on this acursed continent. Too long have I watched those pitiful digimon and humans live happily among the lush land of Digitania. Too long has my punishment lasted, and those so called rulers no longer fear the evil just off their shores. But as their thoughts of the evil on this continent fade, our anger and hatered grows, and it won't be long now until those weaklings realize their mistake." Myotismon said as he gazed across the vast ocean toward the great continent in the distance. "I will have my revenge." He turned on his heels and began making his way toward the black castle that he made his home.
"Lord Myotismon, sir." a Bakemon said as he approached the powerful digimon.
"Yes, what is it," he replied irritated. The Bakemon seemed to see the evil glimer in his eyes and floated back a bit.
"Yes well, Colonel Piedmon wishes to speak with you at once about the invasion of Digitania."
Myotismon nodded his head and began striding toward the battle hall. The Bakemon floating behind him, making sure he didn't anger the merciless digimon. They walked in silence amongst the great pillars that were as high as skyscrapers and through the great halls that held an eerie darkness that reflected the evil bound to this continent. The Dark Continent is the place where all banished digimon and humans are ordered by the Great Leaders of each village/city to stay. A place of never ending night and where darkness plotted to sieze the powers of light. The Great Leaders were those chosen to lead their home, and every few years they would meet to learn of the obstacles passed and accomplishments made by each village/city. They were also the ones to punish those who diserved it, so naturally every digimon and human alike that resided on the Dark Continent loathed the Great Leaders. Many people wonder why the dark digimon can't use their powers to escape the darkness, and it is because of the shield that imprisoned the Dark Continent. The shield can counteract any form of dark magic there is, and although many have tried to break free, it is impossible. Or so many thought. Myotismon reached the room where their plans had been hatched. Although the residents of Digitania paid them no mind, they still kept the room hidden. The entrance is blocked by many enchantments and hidden booby-traps, but even so, only a select few could open it; Dark Lord Myotismon, Colonel Piedmon, Black Sorceress LadyDevimon, Knight Devimon, Commander of the Sea MetalSeadramon, Weapons Director Machinedramon, and Forest Mage Puppetmon. The highest ranking evil digimon to ever walk on the shores of the Dark Continent. They call themselves The Dark Masters.
"You wished to speak with me Piedmon," Myotismon stated as he took his seat at the head of the table.
"Yes, I believe the best place to begin the invasion would be the main city Digitopia. By attacking Digitania's largest and most powerful city first, the rest would easily bow down." Piedmon finished.
"That is a good plan," Myotismon said after weighing the situation's pros and cons. "But what do you forsee LadyDevimon, is this the right path to go?" LadyDevimon was not only an extreamly powerful dark digimon, but she also could tell the future at times. She closed her eyes, and reopened them. Her eyes began to swirl with black mist.
"I foretell the plan of action is the right one to make, but in order for our goal to be achieved, we must destroy the 10 chosen ones; the Ten Sages of the Elements; or our triumphs will be for nothing." she said as her eyes cleared of smoke.
"Well who are these Sages?" Devimon asked.
"The powers of darkness have left me, I can see no more." she replied, putting the conversation to rest.
"Then we shall do as planned, and start the invasion of Digitania at dawn," Piedmon said triumphantly.
"I agree, we will destroy the magic barrier and start our conquest." MetalSeadramon said.
"If all goes well, we should make it to Digitopia by sun down." Machinedramon added.
"Prepare yourself Digitania, the dark era is coming," Myotismon said as all the villians nodded.
"We attack at sun down." everyone said in unsion.
The beautiful city of Digitopia was indeed the largest and greatest of Digitania. It stand proudly near the cost, so the beach is in walking distance, and just at the edge of the magnificent forest. The bulidings were some of the finest ever constructed; all different colors and sparkling in the sunlight, and as tall as they were mesmerising. Many lived there, for the jobs were plentiful; fishing, the soil near the forest was rich so farming was common, lumber supplied much of the non-forest areas, and the tourism also helped the economy. Many came to lay eyes on the magistic castle in the center of town; created with opal-like stones, so the sun would cause a rainbow effect, it was the meeting place for all the Great Leaders. Or they would come for the peace and quiet of the beautiful city.
Kari was running swiftly through the city, dodging carts of food and other things standing in her way. She had to escape the two demons behind her, but obstacles were a way to slow them down. She reached the edge of town, and decided the forests would make a good diversion. She rushed toward the trees, and began weaving in and out of them, straying from the path and any other sign of civilization. She glanced behind her and saw some of the branches on the taller trees were shaking and leaves were falling from them in small piles of green. She picked up her pace and ran until she reached a cliff. She skidded to a stop and looked down; it wasn't too long a way down. and luckily there was a small pond at the bottom. She turned her head as heard the two approaching her position. She took a deep breath and let out a small squeal right before she hit the water's surface. She swam to the shore to catch her breath but as she turned her head she saw two blurs and then water splashed all over her. She growled in frustration at the persistant demons but got up and began running again.This time she ran toward the city, eager to get to the safety of their home to catch her breath. She ran as fast as she could, but stopped abrutantly when she saw a shadowy sillohette in the distance, she spun around and saw another sillohette. Both smirking and walking slowly toward her. There was only one way to go, behind her was an alley. So she quickly ran toward through it, but to her dismay, it was a dead-end. She turned her head and saw the two standing next to each other, blocking the only exit, both with triumphant smiles on their faces that they had caught their prey.
"We Win!" they said in unsion and started laughing. Kari rolled her eys but walked toward her siblings.
"Ok ok you guys win this round, but whose turn is it to be the prey?" Kari asked, eager for her turn to be the demon team, who usually won. It was a game they invented when Tai and Tar were seven, two people would be the demons and the rest would be the civilians; or the prey; If the prey could last five minutes without being caught then they win, but if they were caught then the demons won.
"I think it's my turn," Tai said.
"Ok, me and Kari will wait two minutes, and then you're dead." Tar said laughing slightly.
"We'll see," Tai said as he took off. They waited for about two minutes, then began to look for their brother. They looked throughout the city, but it didn't take long to find him. He was standing in the middle of one of the main roads, eyes glued on the sky and feet frozen in place.
"Tai," Tar said waving her hand in front of his face," Tai? TAI!" she screamed and snapped her fingers. "Tai what the-" Tai grabbed her handand pointed toward the sky. It had turned blood red from the sun setting, but the sky and ocean was filled with black clouds, but it wasn't clouds it was swarms of dark digimon. A loud screeching sound came from the city, signaling an emergency. Everyone on the streets stopped what they were doing and began running toward their homes. Tai, Tar, and Kari decided to do the same. They fled the streets, heading for the giant castle-like building in the middle of town that was their home. Their parents were the Great Leaders of Digitopia, so it had it's plus sides.
"What are those things?" Kari asked as they continued running through the crowded streets of panicing people and digimon.
"They look like digimon," Tai said. "But I've never seen that many in one place."
"Me neither," Tar said.
They continued running as fast as they could as they started hearing explosions and seeing buildings with flames dancing on the rooftops.
They continued running as fast as they could until they reached their home. There their mom stood waiting for them with worry in her eyes. "This way quickly," she said as they began to run upstairs.
"Mom what's happening?" Kari asked.
"Sshh...we don't have much time." she hissed. Tai, Tar and Kari were taken back by how serious and fearful she sounded. As they contined running, Tai was able to catch a glimpse of what was going on outside. Black digimon were swarming from the coast and destroying everything in their path. But they were heading straight for the very building they were in. "Quickly, in here." their mother motioned as she unlocked a door.
"I didn't know this room even exsisted," Tar said as she walked in. The room was dark, but there was a pedastel in the center of it that gave he room a small glow. On the pedestal there was a multi-colored box. Their mom rushed toward it and grabbed the box, and handed it to Tar. "Hold this." she said sternly. "I knew this day would come," she said quietly as she walked toward the back of the room and pulled an old looking piece of paper out of a small brown cubbard. "My children, I have told you the stories of the Ten Sages, well...they really exsist. In fact you might be three of them." she said quietly as she handed the old paper to Tai. "You must journey to each village and city on Digitania, In every village a Sage dwells. This is a map to each Sage. But the only way to know who the Sages are, is to use these." she said motioning the map and box. "In this box is an ancient tool of power. These are Elemental Crests. But at the moment they are powerless. You and all the Sages must find the Ten Shards of Unity. These shards bring power to the Elemental Crests and help it's users to control the elments. But the shards were taken from their restings places by the Dark Masters years ago, now each Dark Master carries one, and although they can not access the elements they can access the gift that goes along with them. These gifts are powerful, and can be used against you if you are not careful."
"Mom why didn't you tell us this before." Tar exclaimed.
"How long have you known about us being Sages?" Tai asked.
"I have known since the day you three were born," she said quietly as if ashamed of herself for not telling them. "In fact your father and I were planning on telling you when Tar and Tai were fifteen, and Kari was thirteen (A/N:yea, by the way, tai and tar are 13 right now and kari is 11). But with the circumstances at hand I am forced to tell you of your destinies now." as she started talking more, her eyes began to glaze with tears, "Your father and I wanted you to live like any normal children would, and if we told you of your being Sages, it would mean the Dark Masters would..." she choked back a sob as she said the next part," the Dark Masters would ...kill you. And we couldn't let that happen, so that is why we never told you." as she finished an explosion echoed through the castle walls, the Great Leader spun her head around and then urged her children toward the window. "Listen to me my darlings," she started tears flowing freely down her cheeks," I am so sorry that this burden has been placed upon your shoulders, but it has been your destiny to protect Digitania since the day you were born. Digitania needs you to find the other seven Sages by using this map and the Elemental Crests, once all are found you must begin your quest to find each Shard, only then will you have the ability to preform the task ahead." she finished. "My children, I love you more than anything, but you must go now, we do not have much time left." Tar , Tai, and Kari stared at their mother with wide eyes, they couldn't just leave her there to die at the hands of the Dark Masters.
"But mom can't you come with us, you and dad?" Kari asked walking toward her mom. But she shook her head.
"My place is here, in Digitopia, and my duty is to protect it. I will not allow these evil monsters to scare me away." she said with determination. "But now you must go." she said, though her voice was filled with soft sobs and the river of tears continued pouring down her cheeks. She carefully took the box from Tar's hands and placed the golden rings around their necks, each was solid gold and hung from a silver chain. Kari hugged her mom, and after a moment's hesitation began to descend to the ground out the window. Tar's eyes were full of saddness and disbelief, but after a quick hug from her mom, she lowered herself out the window as well, she continually used her hands to wipe away tears. Since she was the eldest of the three (by a few minutes) she wanted to be strong for them, and herself, and she couldn't do that by breaking down. Tai watched his sisters leave with a heavy heart. His brain wouldn't let him believe that he was leaving his home and half of his family behind, all of this information was way too overwhelming. "Tai, you must promise me that you will be extra careful, I don't have time to explain why, but the Dark Masters will be searching for you more than the other Sages." Tai gave his mom a confused look, but after running up to her and giving her a final hug, he began desending to the ground. He took one more glance at his mom, and felt his heart jump into his throat at the thought of leaving her behind, but he continued to climb down. The Great Leader watched her children leave, and felt several hot tears escape her eyes. "Good luck my darlings" she said just as the wall behind her crumbled, revealing the Dark Masters.
As Tai felt his feet touch earth he turned his head and saw Kari biting her lip and her eyes red from crying, and Tar had her face toward the ground, but still trying to be strong for them. Silence was hushed around the group as they took in all that was said by their mom, but someone had to break it, even though no one wanted to.
"Guys, we'd better get going," Tai said slowly. They had to get moving, or risk being captured or killed by the Dark Masters. Everyone slowly nodded their heads, although with every step they took more pain was weighed on their hearts. They walked for what seemed like hours, until they reached the cliff they were at earlier. They jumped onto a ledge that stuck out from behind the waterfall on the cliff, and decided to rest there for the night.
"So what do you think each of these things mean?" Kari asked her siblings as she examined the Elemental Crests hanging around her neck. The three of them exchanged glances, not really sure what the answer to the question was.
"Mom called them Elemental Crests, so they must control an element." Tar said as she too removed the crests from her neck.
"From all the stories and legends I've heard about the Sages, I think the crests help them awaken their power," Kari said.
"The power being the elements themselves, so each of these Elemental Crests awakens the power of each element for the Sages." Tai finished.
"Right, now all we have to do is figure out which one is ours, if we have one." Tar said.
"But how do we do that?" Tai asked.
"Well, if the Elemental Crests just awaken the powers of the Sages, if we are Sages then these should awaken the powers we have already." Kari replied.
"Right," Tar and Tai said in unsion. Without hesitation they put their hands over all the Elemental Crests, and threir hands began to glow. Tai's red and orange, Tar's dark blue and black, and Kari's pink and yellow. Slowly three of the solid gold rings began to rise off the ground and float into their hands, all glowing the same as their hands. They grasped the crests in their outstetched hands, their eyes all wide. They looked up at each other and gasped; Tar's usual green and blue shirt was now black and her eye turned dark blue, and dark blue and black streaks slashed through her shoulder length brown hair. Kari had a dark pink shirt on and light pink and yellow highlights in her hair, her eyes also turned light pink, only yellow specks dotted them, and Tai's usual blue shirt was now red with orange flames at the ends of the sleeves and the base of the shirt, his headband turned red, as well as his eyes, only they too had specks throughout them, only orange and yellow, the tips of his spikey hair turned red also.
"Whoa," Kari said after getting over the shock of the changes she and her siblings had.
"I guess this answers our questions." Tar said as she glanced from Tai to Kari.
"Well, if our new colors represent our elements, then you have Shadow Tar, and Kari you have Light." Tai said.
"And you have Fire," Kari added. A long moment of complete silence followed, as they realized this was real, it wasn't a game that would end as soon as they grew weary. The truth had finally dawned on them; They were three of the real Ten Sages, and now they had to find the rest of the magical beings, and the shard to awaken their power. This was now a quest they had to fulfill in order for Digitania to survive. The dangers they knew were waiting ahead were frightning, but given the knowledge that they were the only ones who could save their home was pure terror. If they failed the Dark Masters could easily take over Digitania, just as they had easily destroyed Digitopia. The thought of their once peaceful and beautiful home made their saddness return. The thought of never seeing their friends again, never getting to walk on the sandy beach and swim in the clear ocean, or never seeing their beloved parents was far too much for them to bare. All they had now were nine of the ten Elemental Crests, a map of each place they had to venture to, stories and legends of the Ten Sages, and each other to complete this task. Not much for a task like this to be fufilled, but enough to keep hope in their hearts and minds.
"So should we begin our adventure tomorrow?" Kari asked. The sudden sound of her voice made Tai and Tar jump in surprise. A small smile curved their lips though.
"Yea, the sooner we defeat the Dark Masters the better," Tar said excitedly.
"Right, and nothing's gonna stop us!" Tai procalimed. The mood around the Kamiyas' had lightened, but dread still lingered in the backs of their mind. But now only time will tell what will happen in the days that follow. For even now as the three fall asleep, evil is watching their every move, and pleased with the results.
"Tai of Digitopia, your power will be mine." a voice hissed in his head. Tai jerked up from where he had been sleeping, but saw no one that could've said this to him. Still, he decided to heed his mother's warning and be extra careful. But for now he had to sleep, they would be beginning their quest the next day, to Frozen City.
