I DON'T OWN DIGIMON

CHAPTER 1

The bright, golden-orange sun rose on the Monitamon village in Shinobi Zone that day causing most of its residents to wake up and start heir day. These residents, Monitamon young and old, got up and began preparing a hearty breakfast before that day's ninja training.

They weren't the only residents however; inside one of the huts, there lived the residents of Disc Zone, evacuated there because their home was destroyed by the battle between the Blue Flare and Bagra armies. The Monitamon then gladly took them in and they were peacefully slumbering away. Except for one.

While Seahomon, Panbachimon and all the Togemogumons and Searchmons were still asleep, one resident of Disc Zone was already awake. Her name is Lunamon, and she was getting ready for her day.

As she fixed up her bed she spotted something underneath her pillow. It was the autographed case of DigiNoir given to her by Shoutmon; it was her most prized possession. Slightly damaged from Blastmon's attack, she fixed it up and it was as good as new.

She picked it up and stared at it for a while before smiling and giving it a hug imagining that she was hugging the one who gave it to her. Oh how she missed him.

After that, she slowly crept out of the hut and ate a small breakfast before setting off to get her training schedule.

The trainer Monitamon spotted her a few meters away. "Lunamon, always the early bird aren't you?' he said to her.

She nodded back at him. "Morning sir. I'm just here for my schedule."

He handed it to her and she walked away reading it. She found out that she had underwater training first followed by camouflage lessons and then a short break. Then, there was target practice before lunch and then full blown combat training the whole afternoon. Lunamon put away her schedule and set off for the pond.

As the head trainer demonstrated how to properly breath from a reed pipe underwater, Lunamon couldn't help but realize that it's already been a week since she started training with the Monitamon, and she couldn't help but reminisce about everything that had happened in the past.

One week ago, Lunamon surprised everyone when she said that she wanted to train along with the Monitamon. When they asked her why, she said that it was because she wanted to get stronger. When asked why she wanted to be stronger, she said that it was because she wanted to be the one to rule Disc Zone when it gets restored. While they were satisfied by this answer, there was actually another reason.

True, she wanted to become stronger for them but there was someone else she wanted to get stronger for, someone who was very close to her heart...

"Lunamon quit your daydreaming and get to work!" the trainer Monitamon yelled snapping her back to reality.

"R-Right! Yes sir!" she replied. She grabbed a reed pipe, popped it into her mouth and jumped into the pond.

Underwater, Lunamon could see the other Monitamon trying to breath through the pipe; a few messed up and started to drown while one or two lasted longer. Lunamon herself was fine for the first ten breaths, but then she swallowed some water, choked a little and swam back to the surface. The trainer shook his head disappointingly.

After drying herself off, Lunamon went into the forest for camouflage training; she was a little better at this than compared to her previous training. In the end, she was covered in dirt and leaves and realized that she needed another bath. Luckily, her morning brake was next and she took that time to clean herself up.

When she was done, she found her friends already awake and eating breakfast.

"Hi guys. morning." Lunamon said joining them.

"Hi Lunamon. How was training?" Panbachimon asked.

Lunamon shrugged. "Pretty OK. I'm getting kinda better."

"At this rate, running Disc Zone when it gets restored shouldn't be too hard for you." one of the Searchmons added. Lunamon smiled humbly back at him.

The rest of the day wore on; while Lunamon continued her training some of her friends decided to watch her. They watched in amazement on how much she changed and were already looking up to her as the future ruler of Disc Zone.

That night, as Lunamon began to lie down and sleep the tiring day away, she heard a voice. "Lunamon, a word please?"

It was Seahomon who had asked and Lunamon sat up. "Yeah, what is it?" she asked.

He sighed. "First of all, I have to say that you've change a lot since you've started training. I remember back in Disc Zone you were a sweet, kind girl now..." He didn't know what to say next.

"Well, thanks anyway." Lunamon said.

Seahomon smiled. "Yes well, there's something I've noticed Lunamon. Why do you want to become stronger?"

"So I can rule Disc Zone." she answered. "I want to get stronger for you and everyone else."

"Yeah I know that and it's very admirable but..." Seahomon paused a bit. "I don't think you're telling us the whole story. Is there someone else you want to become stronger for?"

"Um...well..." Lunamon hesitated a little.

"You can tell me Lunamon. I won't judge you." Seahomon said.

Lunamon felt a lot more reassured and finally admitted it. "Yes, you're right. There's someone else I want to get stronger for."

"Who is it then?" Seahomon asked.

"Um..." Lunamon said twirling her thumbs around nervously. "You remember that Digimon in Xros Heart who beat Blastmon? The guy who saved us all?"

"You mean Shoutmon?"

Lunamon nodded. "He's that someone else. I want to become stronger for him."

"But why?" Seahomon asked.

Lunamon sighed and blushed slightly. "Look...I...I'm in love with him. I have ever since he saved me from Blastmon's attack. Remember? I cried during that battle when his gift to me was nearly destroyed. I want to become stronger...so that he won't think that I'm weakling who cries over everything."

"I don't think that's what he thinks of you." Seahomon said trying to cheer her up.

She smiled slightly. "Thanks. But I just want Shoutmon to see me as someone who can fight for herself not someone who always needs rescuing."

Seahomon smiled this time. "Thanks for telling me all of this Lunamon; I hope that you find your happiness with Shoutmon."

"Thanks Seahomon. Good night." Lunamon replied. He too bade her good night and they went to sleep.
