((Notes: This isn't particularly about any of the previous or current Digimon animes but more of an original story based on the concept of Digimon, particularly the first season since it probably will include the original Digivice and Crests. Since it is an original story there will be a number of Original Characters and very few, if any, Canon Character appearances. Also, very few of these chapters, if any more, will be in the Mysterious Philosopher's point of view. In other words there will be less philosophy and more action in other chapters. Next chapter will introduce some of the Digidestined. Two more things; One, I'm a human who likes to make himself better so please point out any errors like tense and tell me any pointers. Two, please reply if you like it. I know you may not want to but it will help my self-confidence and help me continue this. Man I made this Notes section big.))

Entry 32: An Introduction to the Dusk of Both Worlds' Light
To the destined that it concerns,
Life is strange. We can live by rules and theories "proven" true and can suddenly find out something that defies those rules. Should we change the rules we live by? Should we ignore the anomaly? Should we fear it? Should we attack it, destroy it? These questions I know would arise if I revealed the truth during the ten years I've kept my deepest secret; if I revealed my first, greatest and most loyal friend. The friend who would give his life for me and I would gladly do the same for him. Yet most people would question if he was real, most would fear him and most would attack him if I revealed my secret friend. Ten years we've looked out for each other, kept each other safe, my digital friend and I.
There are many variations of Earth, alternate realities if you would. Some say each little decision makes a different reality. Some say they don't exist. I simplify both theories. I theorize only some can be "seen" from this Earth, connected by a major event or object. The ones visible to this Earth have something unbelievably huge in common, a whole world that only one in a billion people, on my Earth, know of. The Digital World which is full of life known as Digital Monsters, or Digimon for short, made of digital code.
How do I know that other Earths have this Digital World, you may question. I have seen them, each unique, from the first Earth that was aware of this Digital world, which is remarkably similar to this Earth, to all the Earths to discover it shortly after, ranging from a few days to a few months. The latest one to discover their Digital world was three months after the first and involves a system called "digi-cross" with cross being poorly spelt X-r-o-s. I have named each Earth with a Greek letter, depending on how far down the list of "Digi-Awareness" it is, and "Digital". For example, the first Earth to know of the digital world would be "Alpha Digital". But none of this is important, not yet anyway.
For you see, there is something I fear. For each of these worlds, there has been danger. The Digital world for each Earth, from "Alpha Digital" to "Epsilon Digital", has been in danger. Evil has risen, casting destruction to the Digital world and therefore affecting Earth as well. Computers, cell phones or anything else digital has gone haywire on these worlds. The order us humans made with technology will be destroyed. The very things that made life easier will destroy us.
Satellites will fall from the skies. Nuclear weapons will be launched. All for the sick pleasure of watching everything burn. I fear for everyone's safety. So I've researched. I've tried my best to investigate this world of code. To enter it and stop the evil forces from rising. I knew only the chosen Digidestined could truly stop it but I didn't listen to my logic. My panic and fear overrode my common sense. I had seen the terrors which will come. I feared for myself and my friend.
My friend tried to warn me of my actions and their consequences. I didn't listen. This terror had separated us. I know if I reacted a few years before I would have listened to my wise and powerful friend. I was a fool but I am thankful he forgave me and understood. I sometimes wonder what I did for destiny to bestow him as my friend. We could have been enemies that hated each other. My mind wouldn't be as open if we were.
I learned much from my research. I had even devised a way to enter the Digital World, the idea partly being from the Alpha Digital's way of entry. The way was simple and had started with a question and followed by an answer; if something is restricting you digitally, what does it want for you to continue? A password. After weeks of work and ten very sore digits, I did it. I gave the gate a password. Only later did I realise how much a mistake that was.
Various emotions surged through me. First was shock then was joy followed by pride and anxiousness. The last emotion was the worst; fear. What awaited me on the other side? Was it good? Was it bad? Is hope lost for the digital world? Shaking these feelings, I entered the password. Letter by letter, number by number I typed. Each press of the keyboard felt like hours of my life were being drained. I had a feeling of unexplainable dread. I paused, holding my finger over the Enter button. I pressed the key…and nothing happened.
I stared at my computer screen. Something went wrong. I silently wondered if my computer froze. I completely disagreed with this theory as my computer never froze. I sent a glare at the computer screen before sighing and slumping in my chair. My friend gave me a sympathetic glance and tried to cheer me up despite the relieved look in his eyes. I gave a slight smile and went to grab some coffee. A few weeks later I had all but forgotten about my previous endeavour, more focused on learning more about the digital world. That was my second mistake.
For what I realised later, I had unleashed a completely different program. I had in a sleep deprived state typed a number of keys wrong in the programming. I had sent a strengthening virus and, as always, it landed in the wrong hands. The very thing I tried to stop, I had helped grow. When the barrier between the two worlds cracked and the first evil Digimon came through, they were stronger than they ever should be. They revealed what had given them their extra strength and I paled. I knew I caused this.
I bowed my head in shame. I heard the screams and panic. I felt pained, angry at myself. I knew I should have never attempted to break the barrier. Though the few evil Digimon that came to this world were eventually defeated by the military, I knew the military got lucky and they knew that too. All advance technology that I could see glitch in the typical Digital World way from phones to lights.
As I saw eight objects suddenly stream through the sky, I knew the Digital World was in chaos. I knew those lights flying through the air were digivices, going towards the humans picked to save the World of Code. My greatest fears were realised. Both worlds had been made in danger due to my experimentation. This Earth had become the next endangered. As I looked at the streams of light, I hoped those chosen luck. I looked at my Earth.
This is Zeta Digital, the sixth Earth endangered and all because of me.
