A/N: I never really watched anything but the first season and although I recently saw some of the second season, I don't like the idea of the world knowing about the Digital World, so that never happened. In fact, the second generation of digi-destined are not really going to be in this unless I watch some more episodes and change my mind. There is going to be at least one made up character in this, so deal with it.
This takes place after Ken becomes good, but before anything else in the series happens. Also, I'm going to be using English names.
Beep. Beep.
"Mr. Ishida! If you do not turn off your cell phone during classes, I will gladly hold it for you!" The blond looked at his teacher with blank eyes, wondering why he was being accused of this. He didn't even have his cell phone with him! Oh wait… It was his digivice… What was it doing beeping? He hadn't been into the digital world since Kari and T.K. had been recalled to digidestined servitude. Oh you know you wish you could get back there and relive that summer…He thought to himself.
"Sorry," Matt Ishida grumbled and the teacher held out his hand expectantly. Knowing that he couldn't hand over his digivice, Matt made a show of looking through his bag but luckily, the bell rang. The teacher gave him another warning but then left him to pack up his things. Matt did so and waited for everyone to leave the classroom. And then he opened the front pocket of his bag and found his digivice, glowing. What in the world?
The musician picked up his bag and hurried into the hall, still clutching his digivice in his hand. Finally he spotted Sora and Tai, running towards him from opposite directions.
"Matt! Sora! Did your--" "Tai! Matt! I just--" The pair shouted at the same time and Matt couldn't help but grimace. They would never figure out what was wrong if they couldn't speak properly.
"Calm down!" Matt said, or ordered rather. The two looked at him, shocked at his tone. What was up with Matt? He was doing well… Well, fine, in school and his band was doing really well; they had even managed to get a recording contract.He had been a bit more morose than usual, but now he was being outright rude! Seeing the looks on their faces, Matt winced slightly. "Sorry, had a bad day. I'm guessing your digivices beeped you into trouble as well?". He didn't believe his excuse; he knew that now that the Digiworld had contacted them that they were needed. And he needed to be needed. T.K. didn't need him anymore; he was the voice of reason in a new team of Digidestined. T.K. was able to protect Matt more than Matt was able to protect him! And now he had a chance to do something! Or at least he hoped he did…
"Beeped?" Sora asked, a look of puzzlement upon her face. "Mine only started to glow." Tai nodded to affirm this.
"Mine beeped," Matt said, showing the two his device. As he did so, the glow diminished and a small light appeared on the screen.
"Don't the new ones do that when they're near a Digi-Egg?" Sora asked. Tai nodded and thought for a moment. "I think you should get to a computer, Matt," the pointy-haired brunette said.
"Me? Why me and not you?" Matt demanded.
"Cause your beeping again!" Sora said as the beeping began once again and Matt groaned. This was getting irritating. The three headed swiftly towards the school computer lab and luckily, nobody was in the room. But one of the computer screens was on. With a gate to the Digital-World open. As the three looked at it and then at one another, Tai and Sora's digivices started to beep. Synchronized, the three lifted their hands filled with their digivices and held them up to the computer screen. And were pulled into the world of data.
"Tai! Get your elbow off of my stomach!" Sora grumbled as the three landed in a pile of appendages.
"That was me, sorry," Matt said as he stood up and offered a hand to Sora, who had landed atop of Tai.
"Tai?" Sora asked, looking at Tai's face down form. When she received no response, she frowned and knelt down and poked him. Getting nothing out of him but a smile grunt, Sora raised her hand and slapped him lightly.
"Aww Mom! Just five more minutes!" Sora looked at Matt and the two burst out laughing. Poor Mrs. Kamiya!
"Tai! Sora's not your mother and I'll do more than slap you lightly if you don't get up right now!" Matt said as he glanced around. Where was Gabumon?
"Howling Blaster!" There was no warning. One moment the trio, two erect and one unconscious, were in the clearing alone and the next, they were surrounded by a small group of digimon. Ones they all knew and loved.
"Biyomon!" Sora said as she saw her partner and rushed towards the bird-like creature with open arms. "Sora!!" The little bird fluttered straight into her partner's outstretched arms. Matt watched and glanced around at the other digimon. And then saw Gabumon. Pretty much hiding behind Agumon.
Matt walked towards him with a frown and was surprised to see that his partner made to move away. "What is it?" he asked, concerned. Matt glanced over his shoulder and saw Sora was emphatically talking to Biyomon and lowered his voice. "What's wrong?"
Gabumon looked at the blond and surprised him by running over to him and clutching his legs in a hug. "I'm so sorry I attacked you three! We've all been on guard because of the Trio has started to hurt Digimon using Black Discs and none of the new Digidestined including Ken have any idea what to do and T.K said that the Black Discs weren't even able to be destroyed using D.N.A Digivolve! And--" Matt cut him off at this point and looked down at the lizard-like creature.
" I forgive you! Now what's this about a trio?" he demanded. Why had T.K. not told Tai and him about this new threat? Now that the Digimon Emperor turned out to be a friend to the Digidestined, Gabumon and the rest could digitize properly.
Gabumon looked at his partner and paused for a moment before speaking, pondering if T.K preferred that Matt didn't know. But T.K. wasn't his partner and so he spoke: "The Trio are a trio of hominoid Digimon whom have been using the Black Discs, like I said. I heard a rumor that they're being controlled by a human and someone told me she was The Digimon Empress but I think that was just heresy because I saw her the other day. She and her Selenemon were saving some of the younglings in Primary Village! She can't be controlling them! I think they may be acting of their own free will!" His tone gradually rose and became quickened as he spoke and by the end of his tirade, Gabumon was flat out irate and the urgent tone could not be ignored. Matt looked around and saw Sora listening intently to Biyomon who was flapping her wings urgently and saw Tai open his eyes as Agumon sat atop of him and started to speak.
"Then we have to do something," Matt said, his decision made. He saw both Tai and Sora looking at him expectantly and he ran a hand through his hair, looking back at Tai expectantly. "You're the leader, what should we do?"
"I don't think I am," Tai said calmly. "Your digivice was the one that beeped initially. Maybe it's your turn to be in charge." Sora and Matt looked at the brunette and blinked several times. Matt even shook his head once or twice to make sure that he had heard right. Tai was giving him the reigns? "Why?" Matt asked. Tai smiled and said, "simple. Besides the fact that you beeped first, I've seen you in school and in music. You're restless. I have soccer and Sora has tennis and we compete with others but you and your band mates don't really compete with anyone anymore; it's hardly a competition in contests now that you guys have a record deal. You've wanted to come back here and do something ever since T.K. became involved with the new group. I did too, at first, but then I realized that I had other things to work on-"
"Like passing high school," Sora couldn't help but insert here.
"And dating Sora," Tai continued, causing a blush to form on the girl's cheeks. "Anyway, even if I'm misinterpreting your anxiety, another reason is that you don't have anyone to take care of. Your brother told me about how you've been going driving at full throttle. You don't even have your license yet! You're someone who needs to be needed and up till now, since T.K. became a Digidestined for the second time, you don't have anyone that needs you. Now the Digi-World does. And you think I want to be the leader again? Keeping everyone alive once is one thing, twice? No way, you can do that."
Matt looked at Tai and just shook his head at his last comment. "Thanks," was the only thing he said. "Well, if I'm in charge in this little excursion back into the Digi-World, we had better start moving! Come on, Gabumon, I want to go find this girl that you were speaking about. And what in the world is a Selenemon?" Matt and Gabumon started to walk and Sora and Tai followed, as did their respective digimon and Gabumon spoke once more.
"I've never seen one before but I heard the girl call the digimon who was working with her Selenemon. I had never seen one before and I thought she must be a rookie because of its stature but it was so powerful it couldn't be! It looks like a small Lilymon! Only she doesn't have flowers. So really she just looks like a little human with a crescent shaped hat, a dark purple, almost black, and silver outfit with just slightly lighter purple dragonfly-like wings, and two crescent moon as her hands which she raised together to form a full moon and said … Oh what was it?"
"Lunar Escalation! I saw them too!" Biyomon interrupted excitedly. "A flash of light filled they sky and the enemy they were fighting was destroyed! Then she must have become her rookie stage, for she became a little crescent moon-shaped digimon that the girl had to carry. Selenemon was almost as powerful as my Meteor Wings when I'm Birdramon!" The pink bird's voice was filled with awe as she spoke. "Imagine such a little digimon doing that… She was fighting an Airdramon and she defeated it as if it were a… A Yokomon! It just disappeared!"
"Whoosh…" Tai said, using a phrase he had heard someone use on the television, causing Matt and Sora to look at him oddly. He shrugged and laughed at himself. "Sounds impressive…"
"It was, I assure you," Gabumon affirmed. "I saw her defeat a few Gotsumon who were obviously deranged. They were picking on the Koromon village! Gotsumon never hurt in-training Digimon!"
"Although they do like to tease them," Agumon muttered.
"That may be true," Gabumon agreed. "But they were hurting them! I wanted to help them, but there were so many of them. And then the two walked out of the woods and did their thing and then disappeared back into the woods."
"Do you think we'll meet her?" Sora asked. And then the ground began to shake. A large crash resonated from the area in the direction they were walking and the group started to run.
"I don't think so," Biyomon said from above as she flew in the air, trying to see what was going on.
"Why not?" Sora asked, looking up at her companion.
"I know we will," the pink bird answered. "I see a Drimogemon and a hominoid! Unless it's one of the Trio, I think it's her!"
"Then let's go and meet her!" Matt declared. "Come on Tai, Sora! I want to see this interesting Digidestined and her puny champion!" Tai and Sora looked at one another, wondering why Matt was so intrigued by the girl. What if she was the Digimon Empress? Then we had better get that figured out right now, Tai thought as the reached the edge of the forest and saw a fairly large clearing before them. In the middle of which was a large crater with a drimogemon right beside it. And a girl with a small pixy in front of her. A pixy in a midnight purple and silver outfit with dragonfly-like wings.
"Hey! You've caused enough trouble, you digger!" the girl shouted at the beast with an interesting accent. "Just because you have some discs imbedded in you don't mean you can cause earthquakes anywhere you like!"
"That's what you think!!! Iron Drill Spin!" The mighty mole-like creature started to spin the drill atop of its head and move towards the girl and her companion.
"Selenium Wing Sheild!" The pixy-like creature stepped beside the girl and her wings spread out to cover them both. The drill pressed against it but was unable to get through it. The beast let out a fearsome holler and before it knew what was happening, the wings opened and the force pushed it back.
"Selenemon, let's finish this!" the girl said as she ran a hand through her long brown locks.
"But of course," the faerie replied as she raised her hands together to form a small moon. "Lunar Escalation!" A blast of power radiated from the small sphere and filled the area, causing the six watching from the edge of the forest to close their eyes from the blast. When they opened them again, the beast was gone. As was the small pixy. In her place sat a little crescent moon shaped creature that rested on the arch of the moon (a sideways crescent moon). The girl knelt down to pick it up and started to walk away. "I wish we could save them," the small creature said, a high-pitched voice audible even though they stood quite a distance apart.
"I do too, Lunamon, but you know what the disks do if they digimon isn't destroyed!" The girl exclaimed as she looked down at the ground, as if making sure her feet were heading in the proper direction. "They just reproduce. It's easier for the digimon if we destroy them. You agreed. The Trio can't have infested the entire populace with them anyway. Hopefully a few Digimon who went mad shan't be misse- Oof!" The girl had raised her eyes from her gaze to look at the small moon-shaped in her arm and had stumbled over her rock. She had fallen flat on her back and the Lunamon had flown out of her arms. "Bloody hell!"
"Are you alright?" Sora finally made their presence known as she rushed over towards the girl as Matt and Tai hissed at her to ignore the girl's predicament. But Sora's heart was too big; she couldn't just let someone lie there if they were in trouble.
"Uh huh, just superb!" the brunette replied caustically. She sat upright, "I'm guessing you're one of the digidestined then?" Sora nodded, "I'm Sora. Two others, Matt and Tai, are over there," she said as she pointed towards the edge of the forest.
"And you're telling me this?" the girl asked, surprised.
"Why shouldn't I?" Sora asked as Biyomon flew over to them.
"Perhaps I'm the enemy," the brunette responded as she finally stood up and Sora followed her example and looked her over. The girl was much shorter than her. To say she was petite was exaggerating it. She was short, outright shrimpy! If the Selenemon had seemed small compared to this girl, it must be diminutive indeed! She was wearing a dark jean skirt with several zippers and pockets that flared out with tiered layers of beige and black tulle sticking out from underneath and a plain deep purple, one that matched the dress of Selenemon, v-neck tee-shirt with a white tank-top at the point of the v. On her feet she wore a pair of silver ballet flats with a little ribbon on them. The skirt gave off an edgy look, but the rest of her appearance was rather well, plain. A black ribbon tied in a bow held her brown waves back and she wore no jewelry other than a silver ring on the middle finger of her right hand. She didn't look at all devious.
"Well, I am glad to hear you don't think I look devious," the girl said, a small smile forming on her pale pink lips and Sora realized she had spoken aloud. "Cause I'm not. I'm a digidestined like you," to prove this she reached into one of the skirt pockets and pulled out a dark purple digivice that matched those of the newer digidestines. "Lunamon told me that there are others, although I've never run into any of you before. It must be the time difference," she said the last sentence in a tone that revealed understanding. "I'm Emay, nice to meet you Sora. And you too, boys." She turned to face the boys as they walked towards the girls apprehensively. Her eyes, a stunning shade of lavender, looked over Tai and then Matt and paused for a moment on the blonde, as if trying to recall where she recognized him from.
"And this is Agumon and Gabumon; I'm Biyomon!" the small bird fluttered down to the ground.
"I'm Lunamon," the small creature said.
"Are you a rookie?" Agumon asked, causing a smile to form on the moons face.
"Nope! I don't have a rookie form!" She said excitedly as the other three digimon stared at her. Not to have a rookie form was unheard of! "I'm Moonmon, then Lunamon, and then Selenemon! And any sane digimon that I've met as Selenemon says that it must be my Champion form, but I don't think this form can really be a Rookie since all I can do is bounce up and down like an In-Training Digimon."
"Alright, now that we got the introductions over with and an explanation for your digimon, prove to us that you're not filled with malicious intent to defeat all strong digimon," Matt demanded the moment the words were out of Lunamon's mouth. Sora and Tai gaped at him; couldn't they see how open the digimon was? Obviously she couldn't be filled with evil intent!
The lavender eyes sparkled as she looked at the blond, "Why should I prove what I'm not?" she said with a light tone upon her voice, causing Matt's blue eyes to flare with irritation. She raised her hands up, "peace, peace! I'm just jesting. I have no wish to harm any but those who are a risk to this world. Lunamon would never let me do anything else." As she said this last part, she knelt down to pick up the small animal. "And now I'm going to go, since I doubt anything I say at this time will make you think otherwise of me if you believe me to be truly devious." She turned to walk around and started to walk. Straight into a tree.
Klutzy, they name is Emay.
Sora rushed over to the girl again and Lunamon frowned at the girl who was beside her. "Emay!!!!" the white-silver creature shrieked. "Can't you stop being a ditz for three minutes?"
"Obviously not," Matt said, crossing his arms over his chest as he looked down at the girl. "And you were right, nothing you say can change my mind. However, nobody wicked could be so clumsy." The girl glared up at him from the ground, stood up, picked up Lunamon, stepped away from the tree and walked into the forest without saying another word. Before any of the three digidestined or their digimon could say anything, she and her Lunamon were gone.
"Should we follow?" Tai asked.
"No," Matt said in a tone that was one of a leader and Sora shrugged as she wondered why Matt had behaved so vehemently towards the girl. She had seemed nice. Clumsy, yes. But nice as well. And what was wrong with being a klutz? She wondered if they would meet in the Digi-World again.
A/N: Note, as I was writing this I was looking at wikipedia and discovered that there was an actual Lunamon in a version of Digimon, but we're going to ignore this!
And the title... Well, you'll get it from the story and/or I'll probably explain it after the next chapter or two.
Hope you liked the first chapter! The more reviews I get, the more likely I'll update sooner! I know the story! If you want to know it, I have to know that you want to know it and the only way I'll know is if you review!
Luv Chasing Sin
