"Ow," comes a voice from somewhere above Laura, making her look around her for the first time. Instead of seeing her dorm room, there's trees surrounding her, hard dirt under her butt, and a stifling humidity. "So, we're definitely not at Silas anymore."
Looking up, the dirty blond locks eyes with LaFontaine, who seems to have fallen across a tree. "Are you okay?" she asks. The ginger shrugs, a small smile on their face.
"I just fell through a computer, Hollis," they say as they swing their legs over the branch to straddle it. They stare down at Laura, eyes critical. "What the hell did you download?"
"Um, the whole Series 8 of Doctor Who?" It came out as more of a question than an answer. "I bought it off iTunes, not illegally!" When LaFontaine glares at her, she rolls her eyes and pouts. "Okay, I got the Christmas Special online, but still…"
"Hollis, calm down," the ginger tries to placate the anxious blond. "Once I get down from here, I'll punch you, but I'm stuck up here, so you're safe for now."
"Thanks…?"
"No problem."
Laura sighs and puts her head in her hands. "Do you think it's just us? Or did everyone else get sucked in too?" She thinks that maybe Carmilla and Danny might be able to survive the harsh environment. LaF and Kirsch are a close second and even Perry might be able to withstand this place for even a few days. But there is no way in hell or Hogwarts that Laura can survive this.
She looks up again. "Do you need help getting down?" LaFontaine shakes their head and swings their legs a few times before jumping down. Unlike how they hand planned it in their head, the ginger lands in a small heap on the ground. Laura hurries over to help them.
"Thanks."
Laura smiles. "No problem."
"Are all humans clumsy?" asks a high squeaky voice from somewhere nearby. It makes Laura think of what a toy dog would sound like… they could talk.
"I don't believe so," says another voice that sounds like a reasonable voice. "Most humans aren't stable when they first land."
LaFontaine wanders over to where the voices are coming from, Laura hiding behind their shoulder. The two voices scream, making Laura reply with her own scream and LaFontaine just gapes in shock.
"What… what the hell are they?" Laura asks, rubbing her forehead.
"We're Digimon," one of them says. It looks like a small yellow blob with clear blue eyes and small stubby legs. It has a fat tail, the tip colored white. The other one looks like a pink blob with black eyes and no legs at all. It has three short fingers on each of it's arms. "I'm Viximon!" She jumps at Laura, making the smaller girl squeaks and falls back on her ass.
The little fox creature, Viximon, nuzzles against Laura's neck, making her giggle. "Aw, you're so cute!"
"What's your name, little blob?" LaFontaine asks the small pink thing at their feet, bending down so they're eye to eye with it.
"I'm Motimon," he holds out a blob arm. "It's a pleasure to meet you." He shakes LaFontaine's hand, which looks tiny in their's. "You're the first humans we've seen in a while. Where'd you come from?"
"Um, well," LaFontaine taps their chin, watching as Laura scratches Viximon's belly with a small smile on their face, "we fell through the computer. To wherever here is."
"You're in the Digital World!" Viximon looks up, sitting on Laura's lap and a wide smile with just a little bit of fang poking out of her mouth.
"Look, have you seen any other humans around here?" Laura asks.
"No, but I bet the others have!" Motimon speaks up. "Come on!" He starts to bounce off. Viximon wiggles out of Laura's hold and trots off after her blob of a friend.
"Hopefully, they'll lead us to the others and not into a trap." Laura rolls her eyes at her friend and pulls them along.
Carmilla lands with an 'oof' on top of something that's definitely softer than the ground. "What the hell?" she mumbles as she feels it move under her.
"Get off of me!" a familiar voice comes from below her.
"Danny?" the vampire jumps up, glaring up at the tall Amazonian redhead.
"Carmilla, where the hell are we?"
"I don't know." Carmilla scans the area with her senses. She can hear bugs and there's definitely some sort of artificial smell to the air. "I can't sense the others."
"The last thing I remember is a bright light, but it was warm. Not like the Hungry Light."
"I think… we got sucked into the computer." Danny looks up, only to find that everything looks normal, not pixilated as she was expecting.
"You fell from the sky!" a voice speaks from directly behind the two young woman.
"You just blew our cover!" says a similar voice.
"I'm sorry, but I've never seen a human before."
"I haven't either, but I know not to blow our cover."
Carmilla spins around to find two identical looking furry blobs arguing with each other. Both have what looks like a single black fin poking out of the amber fur on their heads. Beady amber eyes look up at her before the creatures jump, accidently bumping into each other.
"Hey there, little fellas?" Danny crouches down and holds out a hand for the creatures to sniff. "Do you happen to know where we are?"
"You think these things will know where we are?" Carmilla crosses her arms. They don't seem very intelligent.
"Hey!" One shouts and bounces up to get right in her face. "At least we know where we are…"
"Um, Tsunomon," says the other creature, "we don't know where we are. Well, not exactly which part."
"But at least we know that we're in the Digital World. Home to Digimon just like us." He looks from Carmilla to Danny and bounces up, landing on the vampire's shoulder. "Come on! We've got to go tell the others!"
"There are more of you?" Danny asks as she scoops up the remaining creature. "Like, more that look like you, or just more creatures in general?"
"No, silly," says the one in her arms, "we got pulled to this place just like you did. From all over the Digital World came six Digimon. We waited for the strange beings to arrive in a flash of light… and you did!"
"So the rest of our friends must be somewhere on this island!" Danny looks to Carmilla, her eyes shining with relief and happiness.
"Whoop-dee-doo, give the dog a bone!" Carmilla waves one finger around in the air, but her eyes are rolling at the tall redhead's enthusiasm.
The Tsunomon in her arms looks up at her, almost poking her in the chin with it's long black fin. "What's a dog?"
Danny just laughs.
"We're lost," the ginger runs her hands through her hair for the thousandth time. "Completely and hopelessly lost!"
"Chill out, Mama hottie," Kirsch puts a hand on her shoulder. Ever since he began hanging out with Laura and her strange group of friends, he'd taken to calling Perry 'Mama hottie' because she seemed to take care of everyone. "We'll find the others. I'm sure LaF and Laura are already coming up with a way to get us out of here."
"If only Laura didn't feel the need to document everything. I mean, we got sucked into a computer because of her."
"Don't get angry at Laura. She didn't mean for us to come here."
Perry turns to Kirsch, eyes like fire. "And where, exactly, is here?"
"The Digital World, of course." At the same time, Kirsch and Perry spin around to come face to face with a small creature. This creature is a pale off-white and looks like something emerging out of a puddle with only the head formed. Its eyes are a shiny black. It also has short floppy ears and a horn on its head. "Where else did you think you were?"
"Um, did that thing just talk?" Perry asks, stepping behind Kirsch and looking down at the thing.
"I can do more than talk," says the creature, "I can sing, too." It opens its mouth and a horrible noise makes both humans cover their ears. Perry stumbles backwards and trips over what looks like a root, but it turns on her. She realizes with a pounding heart that it has a pale face and brown, seed shaped eyes. Its body looks like a beanstalk is growing out of the top, unfolding to create leaves. It also has stubby legs that have little toes at the end.
"Aw, they're so adorable!" Kirsch picks up the white blob and smiles. "What are you, anyway?"
"I'm Gummymon," it squeaks.
"And I'm Tanemon!" says the plant-like creature that has found its way into Perry's lap.
"Hey, have you seen any, you know, humans around here?" Kirsch asks, watching as Perry runs around in a circle trying to dislodge Tanemon from her blouse.
"We saw more beams of light shoot off in different directions. Maybe your human friends are there." Gummymon floats up to where he's eyelevel with the broad man. "I bet you the others found them and are bringing them to the grotto right now!"
"Well then, shall we?" He chuckles as he offers his arm to Perry. Finally giving up, she rolls her eyes and follows him and Gummymon, Tanemon still clinging to her shirt.
So, this is a strange place to put the gang, isn't it. But I've been thinking about crossovers for a long time and I think I'm just going to put them out there.
