Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh!
Author's note: I'm back from vacation! And with much sadness to report. My dad "accidentally" erased all of my documents, so it might be a while before I can get new chapters to my other fanfics up. Don't worry, cuz it'll get done.
Author's note 2: this is a Digimon / Yu-Gi-Oh! crossover. Don't flame me if you don't like it. I'll accept constructive criticism, but no flaming. If you don't like Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh!, then it's your own fault for reading this. O, and you'll have to figure out the pairings on your own.
Author's note 3: this does not relate to any season of digimon. Digimon are just in it.

Chapter 1
In a hidden fortress far away………
A small winged creature flew into a cavern, where a large creature hidden partially in the shadows paced. "Master," it said, "We are almost ready to move out."
"Good," The creature said, "How long will it be, Demidevimon?"
The tiny creature, presumably Demidevimon, said, "Another five days."
"Very well," the creature said, "be prepared to move out when I say. Now, go."
"Yes sir," Demidevimon said as he flew out of the cavern. The creature said to himself, "Soon. Soon those foolish children will know what pain and suffering they have caused me. They will fear the day that they crossed the path of Myotismon, the strongest digimon ever!"
--------------------------
In a city on Earth, about 20 miles outside of Domino City………
"Come on, Arramon," A young girl said. She had short brown hair that was let loose behind her. She also had light green eyes and was wearing a light green shirt and green khaki (is that how you spell it?) shorts. She continued, "Randy and Gommamon are waiting! We haven't got all day for you to groom your fur!"
A small fox-like creature (Arramon) sat in front of a mirror. She was messing with her fur. She said to the girl, "Amy, you must learn patience. If you are not patient, then bad things will happen."
"I was patient for two years while I waited for you to come," Amy said, "And I think that was enough patience. And besides, it's Randy who will be vaped if we are late, not me."
Amy looked down at her watch. It read 8:30 am. She said, " I told him we would be there at 9, and it takes 20 minutes to get to get to the park."
"Alright," Arramon said as she hopped down from the bathroom counter, "I'm coming! Don't have a hissy fit!"
Amy and Arramon went out the door and walked to the park. Soon, they saw a boy with short flaming red hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a blue shirt and jean shorts. He had glasses, and he was absorbed in his laptop. A small seal-like creature was sitting next to him. Amy said, "Hey Randy, hey Gommamon!"
The seal-like animal (Gommamon) waved, but the boy (Randy) was too absorbed in his laptop and didn't say anything. Amy walked up beside him and sat down next to him. She said, "What's up?"
"A lot," Randy said, "And it's mostly bad. Remember the attack on the city 7 years ago?"
"How could I forget," Amy said, "It's the first time I ever saw a digimon."
Randy typed some more things on the laptop as he said, "Well, it turns out that the evil digimon who were behind it have been regrouping. Now, seven years later, they are almost ready to attack again. They will be ready to make there move in five days!"
"That's really bad," Amy said, "What can we do?"
"Our options are very limited," Randy said grimly, "The children who were tamers then are no longer children anymore. And as we all know, only a child can fight, regardless of weather they have a digimon or not. So, it's up to all of us who are currently children and tamers to stop them."
Amy stood up and began to pace. She said, "But we only know of three tamers: you, me, and Taylor. We three, along with our digimon, cannot stand up to his power. It took four the last time, and they just barely beat him. And, Taylor's on vacation. So it's basically the two of us."
"Not really," Randy said, "I called Taylor and told him about all of this. He's going to be home tomorrow. And, there are other tamers out there."
"How will we find them," Arramon asked. Gommamon added, "The world's a pretty big place. Any other possible tamers could be anywhere."
"He, she, or they will be easy to find," Randy said, "The trick will be getting to them before the evil digimon do. Hopefully, they didn't move very far away."
"How do you know that they lived here in the first place," Amy asked, "For all we know, they could have been born in Antarctica, and have lived there their whole life."
Randy smiled and said, "Because, you have to see a digimon in person in order to become a tame. From what Daniel told me, he and the older tamers saw a digimon 16 years ago. Any person who would have been old enough to remember that would be too old to be a digidestend now. So, any other possible tamers would have had to have seen a digimon 7 years ago, when Myotismon and his army attacked. Not only that, they would have had to have not been captured in order for their memory of the incident not to have been erased. So, we find out where all of the children who lived here 7 years ago live, and go check them out."
"You are a genius," Amy exclaimed. Randy blushed and said, " Let's see how many different names come up when I type in the restrictions."
Randy typed them in and pressed the search button. When the number popped up, his face fell. "How many was it," Amy asked eagerly. Randy said, " twenty thousand, nine hundred and sixty two (20,962)."
----------------------------------
Several grueling hours later, Randy and Amy collapsed on a bench in the park. "That takes care of all of the kids in the city," Amy said, "No luck so far. How many more?"
"We checked 528," Randy said, "So we have 20,434 to go."
Amy sweat drooped and said, "There's no way we'll be able to check out that many people in five days! We are so dead……"
"Let's just look at the nearest city," Gommamon said, "Maybe we'll get lucky."
"I don't believe in luck," Randy said, "But it's worth a try," he pointed north-west, "the nearest city is Domino city, so let's go there tomorrow."
"Sounds good," Amy said, "How about we leave at 6? Joltmon can get us there in a short time."
Arramon scowled and said, "Don't volunteer me. I can volunteer myself."
Randy said, in an effort to ward off a potential fight, " how about this: Gommamon and I will take last names A-L, and you two can take last names M-Z."
"Alright," Amy said, "Let's go home and get some rest."
They all went home to rest for the tiring day ahead.
----------------------------------
In Domino city……………
Joey was walking home from school with his three best friends that day. He was tired, having not gotten a good nights sleep in a while. A very weird dream had been keeping him up. It involved a bunch of weird animals that were attacking a city he used to live in……
"So Joey," Yuugi said, "You want to come to the shop and hang out for a while?"
Joey snapped back to reality and said, "Uh, sure. Sounds great."
Tea looked at Joey closely. She said, "You don't look so good. Have you been staying up late again? I told you that was bad for you."
"No," Joey said, "I have not. It's just……"
Joey stopped. He didn't want to tell them about the weird dream. Tristen would just tease him, and Tea would just say that it was his food getting to him. Yuugi would be too concerned, and he didn't want to get Yuugi worked up over something as little as a dream. "It's just what, Joey," Tristen asked. Joey shook his head and said, "Nothing. It's nothing."
Tristen said, "Come on, tell me!"
Joey answered, "It's nothing to get worked up over, so forget it."
Tristen was going to bug him some more, but Tea said, "Can it, Tristen. If Joey doesn't want to talk about it, then leave him alone."
They all walked the rest of the way to Yuugi's house in silence. When they got there, Grandpa said, "Did you have fun at school today?"
They all muttered an answer and sat down at the coffee table. Yuugi said, "Want to duel, Joey?"
Joey shook his head and said, "I better get started on my homework."
Everybody was surprised. Tea said, "You are actually going to turn down a duel to do homework?"
"Yea, I am," Joey snapped, "You don't have to dog me about it!"
Tristen said, "I think that you are sick. Maybe you should lie down or something."
"I am not sick," Joey said, almost yelling, "I just don't feel like dueling! Is it that big of a deal?!"
Nobody spoke for a moment. Just then, the phone rang. Yuugi picked it up, and instantly shouting began. He held it away from his ear until he heard a click. Yuugi said, "It was your dad, Joey. Want to spend the night?"
Joey said sulkily, "That would probably be a good idea."
-------------------------------------
That night…………
Joey woke up in the streets of a city. It wasn't Domino city, though. He stood up, and looked around. It was the middle of the day, and the streets were packed. Joey began to walk down the street, but stopped. He noticed that he was half the height of the people around him. Looking down at himself, he saw that he was wearing some kiddy clothes and shoes. ~Great,~ he thought, ~I'm having that freaky dream again.~
Suddenly, the people around him began screaming and running. Joey looked up and saw a bunch of creatures that looked like ghosts had appeared. They were grabbing people and taking them away. Joey began to run away also. As he turned the corner, her saw a bunch more of the ghost creatures appear. One of them saw him, so he took off running again. It was no use, though. Soon the ghost caught him. It flew up high, with Joey in his hand. "Let me go," Joey yelled as he tried to get away. The ghost laughed and said, "You sure are brave for a runt."
Just then, a voice said, "NOVA BLAST," and a ball of fire hit the ghost. The ghost dropped him, and he began to fall. Joey yelled out, "Ahhhhhhhhh!" as he fell to what seemed like his doom. But before he hit the ground, something caught him. It was another one of the weird monsters. It looked like a big orange dinosaur, except that it had blue striped and it also had a brown head. A boy who looked like he was about 14 sat on it's shoulder. He said, "Are you alright kid?"
Joey nodded, and the big dinosaur set him down on the ground. The boy turned to the ghosts and said, "Your days of terrorizing innocent people are over, Bakemon! Let's get 'em, Greymon!"
"You got it," the dinosaur said as he attacked the ghosts. The boy said to Joey, "You better get out of here, it's dangerous!"
Joey didn't need to be told twice. He turned and ran away. A little while later, he stopped to catch a breath. He was in what looked like a warehouse district. ~I think I'm safe now,~ Joey thought as he gradually got his breath back. A voice said, "Don't be so sure, there are still many evil digimon out there."
Joey jumped and turned around. He saw somebody about his size with dirty blonde hair and some weird clothes on. Joey said, "How did you know what I was thinking? Who are you?"
The person said, "I can read minds, and my name is Wizardmon. I am a digimon."
"What's a digimon," Joey asked.
Wizardmon said, "Digimon is short for digital monster. Digimon come from the digital world."
Joey asked, "Are those weird ghost thingies digimon too?"
Wizardmon nodded his head. "Not all digimon are good," he said, "the Bakemon are here to kidnap humans and take them hostage. Eventually, they will be used as slaves in order to build the great empire."
"How do you know all of this," Joey asked, "And how did you get here?"
"I know all of this," Wizardmon said, "Because I am a spy. I pretend to be a supporter of Myotismon, the leader of the evil digimon, in order to get information for the tamers. The tamers are a group of humans who fight Myotismon."
"That's dangerous," Joey said, "What if you get caught?"
"Only you and the digidestend know of my true intentions," Wizardmon said, "And I know the tamers won't talk. I trust that you won't say anything either."
"If it helps to save my family," Joey said, "I won't say a thing."
"Too bad it doesn't matter," a voice said behind them. They both turned around and saw another digimon. He looked like the Bakemon, but he had a maroon cloak on and he carried a sickle. "Phantomon," Wizardmon said, his voice full of anger and hatred. Phantomon said, "This will be the end of you, Wizardmon. And I'll take that little boy there to the master. He shall be very pleased that I have captured one of the digidestend."
Wizardmon stepped protectively in front of Joey and said, "You shall do no such thing! He isn't even a digidestend!"
"Oh, but he is," Phantomon said, "He is a young child and has seen a digimon. He shall become one in the future. We can't have that happening, can we? Myotismon will be more than happy to kill him."
Joey felt a wave of fear rush trough him. He said, "I'm not afraid of you!"
Phantomon laughed. He said, "Then you are either ignorant, or you are very foolish. I shall demonstrate my power by killing this traitor first."
Wizardmon pointed his staff at Phantomon and said, "MAGICAL GAME!"
A bolt of lightning went flying at Phantomon, but he deflected it. With a wave of his hand, a giant bug-like digimon appeared. "This is Snimon," Phantomon said, "He shall have the pleasure of killing you."
Snimon said, "TWINSICKLE," and fired two blasts at Wizardmon and Joey. Wizardmon grabbed Joey and protected him from the blast. He was hurt in the process, though. Joey stood up and said, "You're hurt!"
"I'm alright," Wizardmon said as he stood up shakily, "You get out of here. I can handle these two."
Joey run to run away, but Snimon stopped him. He launched another attack right at Joey. Joey screamed and covered his face with his arms.
~~~~~~~~
Joey woke up in a cold sweat. He covered his head with his hands and said, "What a weird dream."
"Do you know that you talk in your sleep," a voice near Joey asked. Joey shot up. As he did, a small creature fell off his chest and onto his legs. Joey said, "Who's there?!"
"Geez," the voice said, "Somebody's grumpy."
Joey turned on the lamp by the bed, and he saw a small white and green creature. It was rubbing it's head. He said, "Who are you?!"
"I'm your friend for life," it said, "And my name is Terriermon."
Joey just stared at the creature. He said, "Are you a digimon?"
"Yup," Terriermon said, "I am. And not only that, you are my tamer, and I am your digimon. We are friends for life. Oh, and you'll need this."
Terriermon handed Joey something that was small and white with blue on it. He said, "What's this?"
"A digivice," Terriermon said, "The d-power model to be more precise. But all of the tamers call it a digivice."
Joey noticed a small slit on the side of it. "What's the slit for," Joey asked as he pointed to it.
"It's for slashing cards, duh," Terriermon said, "You have to slash the cards to digimodify."
"Digimodify," Joey said questioningly. Terriermon sweat dropped and said, "Don't you know anything?! A digimodify is when you use cards to help me get stronger and faster."
"Oh, I get it," Joey said, "So I slash a duel monsters card through here, and you'll get stronger?"
"No no no," Terriermon said as he shook his head, "You slash digimon cards."
"Digimon cards," Joey said, "Where do I get those?"
"At a card shop dummy," Terriermon said. Joey glared and said, "Hey, I am no dummy!"
"Who are you talking to," Yuugi asked from the other side of Joey's door. Joey quickly said, "Uh, nobody!"
"Are you sure," Yuugi asked, "I heard you screaming, then now I heard you talking to somebody."
"He's talking to me," Terriermon said out loud, "So what?!"
Yuugi opened the door, looked at Terriermon, and said, "What is going on?!"
Joey shook his head and said, "It's a really long story……….."
---------------------------
The next day ………………
Joey and Yuugi were walking to school. Terriermon was riding on Joey's head. They had told Yuugi everything they knew. "This is really weird," Yuugi said, "I wonder why you appeared in this world, Terriermon."
"Who knows," Terriermon said, "All I know is that Joey is my tamer, and I'm supposed to protect him.
"Terriermon said something about digimon cards," Joey said, "Do you know where I could find them?"
Yuugi nodded and said, "My Grandpa sells them in his shop. He started to recently, since it's becoming such a popular game. We can get a pack after school and check them out."
Joey said, "Alright, but how are we going to keep this from Tea and Tristen?"
"Why can't we tell them," Yuugi asked. Terriermon said, "The less people who know, the better. Any human could be tortured for information, and that could be dangerous. I could always act like a stuffed animal when they are around."
"Alright," Joey said, "Sounds like a plan. But who would torture Tea and Tristen for information?"
"I'm not here on vacation," Terriermon said, "There's a reason for everything. An evil digimon must be on the loose, or else I never would have come here."
"You have a point," Yuugi said. Terriermon said, "Watch me do my doll impression. It should fool your friends," as he stiffed up and stopped moving. Joey let his mind wander after that. He was thinking about the dream. He hadn't told Terriermon or Yuugi about it yet. As he was daydreaming, he thought he saw a small fox-like creature. He snapped into focus and looked back at where he saw the creature. There was nothing there. "What did you see," Terriermon asked. Joey shook his head and said, "Nothing. Let's get going, or we'll be late."
---------------------------------
Amy and Arramon had walked around the streets for a while. Since she was on a break, Amy wasn't missing any school. They had already gone through about 20 names. "This is getting tough," Amy said, "What if we don't find these kids in time?"
"I wouldn't worry," Arramon said, "fate has always been on our side. We'll find these children soon."
Arramon jumped into the bushes as some boys walked past them on the sidewalk across the street. The last thing she needed at the moment was to be seen by some goofy boys. -human children are very weird,- she thought, -that blonde one even has a doll that looks like a Terriermon. I definitely don't need to be seen.-
Amy kept walking, and Arramon followed her while keeping out of sight. "We still have a lot of work to do," Amy said as she crossed off a name and looked at the address of the next.

So, did you like? Did you not like? Please tell me the truth, or I'll never become a good writer. As soon as I can, I'll get to work on chapter 2. Much more character development, as well as some more hints at the couples. You might know one of them by now. Well, please review! If you don't like, only post constructive criticism (saying you don't like without cussing me out) and not flames (saying you don't like while cussing me out in the process) cuz flames are not very nice, and I am not very nice to flamers.
