This is the sequel to "Destiny of Courage" and it's pretty out there for a fic, but I think if
you stick with it, you'll like it. Davis is going to have Guilmon, but this will be
explained in the fic, I will also be using other elements from season 03, because I really
like it, I will try to explain the reasons for most of this in the story. Please R&R.

Disclaimer- I don't own digimon or any of it's characters

Rebirth of Courage
-Prologue-

Five hundred years have passed since the War of Existence, which ended with the
heroic sacrifice of the Leader of the Digidestined, who's name we have lost over the
years. True Digidestined have not been born since the death of Ruki, daughter of the
child of light. Because of this, Knowledge Inc. has created artificial digimon to partner
with specific candidates. The problem is that these false digidestined cannot cause their
digimon to digivolve naturally, so Knowledge invented Digi-upgrades (like digi-eggs)
which forced the digimon to digivolve.
Thanks to these amazing new technologies the Alliance has been taken over in all
but name by Knowledge Inc. and it's fellow corporations. People are oppressed and
many have lost the will to live. There are several resistance factions, as well as many
factions who hold to the ancient prophecies set down by Kari and her descendents. The
prophecies speak of the rebirth of He Who is One with the Dragon and the Child of Light.
They also say that the world will burn to ashes and be reborn from the flames.
History seemed to be going along in a straight line of depression and despair.
That is, until I was born. My name is Marena, but for some reason in my dreams
everyone is always calling me Kari. When I was six years old I found a Digital Egg lying
in a field, and out of it hatched my twin digimon, Gatomon and Renamon. I was the first
natural Digidestined born in 500 years, so Knowledge Inc. wanted to know how and why.
They bought me from my family and made me live in their compound while they
performed experiments on my digimon and I.
I'm eleven years old now and am still living in the Knowledge compound. Today
is the day that they are finally going to let me go to the Digital World. For as long as I
can remember there has been a world in my dreams. A world where amazing thing
happen every day, things like working vending machines in the middle of forests, and
dragons befriending dinosaurs. Even though I've never been to the Digital World,
somehow I've always known that's what I was seeing. Suddenly in walked the Curator
to interrupt my thoughts.
"Subject No. 782, it is time for you to begin the exercise, now retrieve your
digimon and report to lab No. 05."
"Ok, I'll be right there, sir."
Subject No. 782, Subject No. 782, just once why can't he call me by my real
name! My name is Kari… no, that's not my name! My name is Marena. I quickly told
Renamon and Gatomon, who were in the small kitchen adjacent to my room, that it was
time to go. Within ten minutes we had made it to the lab, which was on the other side of
the compound. When I entered all the scientists were ready, along with the Curator.
"No. 782," said the Curator, "you are late, if you want to continue having
exercises in the Digital World, you will report immediately."
I chose to ignore that remark, since he hadn't said that I wasn't gonna get to go.
The scientists turned to their consoles and began to punch in the equations that would
open up the digital gateway and allow me to go through unharmed. One of the younger
scientists, who had always been nice to me, came over and whispered in my ear.
"Marena, once you enter the Digital World, keep your eyes open, danger could
come from any direction, now go and stand in front of the gateway down in the
containment chamber."
I tried to give him a brave little smile, but he gave me a sobering glare and shoved
me in the direction of the containment chamber.
"Come on Renamon, bring Gatomon with you," I called as I walked through the
airlock.
When my digimon and I were standing in front of the pulsating gateway, the
Curator spoke over the speakers.
"Once you enter the gateway all communication will be cut off, but we will be
watching you at all times, now enter the portal."
Notice he doesn't say that they'll help me if I'm in danger, I thought to myself as
I walked through the gate, but then I was there, and nothing else mattered.
I was standing on top of a sloping hill that rolled down into a densely wooded
valley. I couldn't think of anywhere better to start so I walked down into the valley with
my digimon following me. I walked deeper and deeper into the forest for around an hour
and I didn't see another living thing the whole time so I started to let my guard down.
That's when he showed, he was a young boy about my age with spiky brown hair…
…"Kari (Huh?), we don't have much time left, so please just listen to what I have
to say."
"Ok Davis, I'm listening, what is it?"
"Well, I've been watching you and T.K. (Who's T.K.) and I can see that you care a lot
for each other, so I've decided to get out of your way, don't worry, I won't be around to
bother you much anymore."
"Davis, what are you try to say?"
"Kari, what I am trying to say is I have decided to stay here in the Digital World with
Veemon, so goodbye."
Then he shoved me into the column of light, it was too late to go back. As tears
started to flow from my eyes, I pulled off the digital camera around my neck (Why am I
wearing a digital camera) and threw it at him.
"Davis, please keep this to remember me by!…
…Wow, what the heck was that, it was a lot stronger than any of the other dreams
I've had, and why was the boy in it? Oh yeah, the boy. I quickly brought my attention
back to reality. The boy was still standing there, with a frightening red dragon/dinosaur
thing standing next to him.
"Who are you, why are you here, and do you have anything to do with
Knowledge Inc.?" the boy asked in an angry, suspicious tone of voice.
"My name is Marena, I'm here for a training exercise, and yes, Knowledge sent
me here."
The boy's whole body tensed before he spoke again, "I'm sorry then, I make a
point of killing anyone who has anything to do with Knowledge."
"Killing," I thought to myself, "but he can't be much older than I am, why would
he want to kill anyone?"
"Wait, I'm not doing anything bad for them, they bought me when I was a child
and made me a test subject," let's hope he believes me, or I'm finished.
He had a confused expression on his face as he asked, "Bought you?"
"Yeah, they bought me from my parents because I am a true Digidestined and
they want to know how."
He didn't speak for a while and I decided that he believed me. I was curious
about who he was so I decided to try asking him some questions.
"I've told you my name, but you still haven't told me yours, would you mind?"
He hesitated briefly before telling me; "My name is David."
He appeared to be flustered, so I thought I should press my advantage while it
lasted.
"Why are you here, normal children aren't allowed into the Digital World,
especially not ones who want to kill anyone linked with Knowledge."
"Hmm…, Oh I live here, I have all my life."
"What!" I was stunned, "you mean you and your family live in the Digital
World!?"
"Fa…mi…ly, Oh, you mean parents, I don't have any parents, Guilmon here is
the only family I have, we've been together since the day we were born."
"You mean you're an orphan?"
"Not that I know of, the Elder digimon found me and Guilmon as babies floating
down river in a basket."
This has to be the strangest person I have ever met, how did he come to live in the
digital world with no parents. All of a sudden the red dragon's ears perked up and his
pupils got really small.
"What is it, Guilmon, what do you sense?" asked the boy.
"There is a champion coming," replied the dragon in a sweet baby voice.
The boy tensed and I turned to see if I could tell what the Dragon was staring at.
That's when a large, horned, purple dinosaur crashed through the trees.
"It's Darkgreymon!" cried Gatomon.
"Quick, Renamon, Gatomon, give it everything you got!" I ordered.
"No, stop, your attacks will have no effect on them," said David, and to my
amazement, they listened.
"How can he order my digimon around like that?" I thought to myself.
Then he pulled a card out of his pocket and began to run it through his digivice.
"Digi-modify!" he called, "Hyper Wing!"
The dragon sprouted six glowing angel wings and flew high into the air.
Darkgreymon launched several Nova Breaths after it, starting some of the surrounding
trees on fire. David pulled yet another card out of his pocket and slashed it through his
digivice.
"Digi-modify,…, Terra pyro sphere!" he roared, "let her rip, Guilmon!"
"Right!" called the little dragon, "pyro sphere!"
The little beast shout a ball of light out of it's mouth that continued to grow bigger
until it hit Darkgreymon, forming a huge dome of light. The dome erupted into a column
of flaming energy that split the clouds. When the light finally dissipated all the trees in
the clearing were totally gone, along with the boy and his dragon, but there was an
envelope where I last saw him. I picked up the envelope and opened it, out dropped a
necklace with a single stone on it, and a letter. This is what the letter said, "Here is a gift,
if you where this necklace, Knowledge cannot track your bio-signature and you will
finally be able to escape them."
It sounded almost to good to be true, but somehow I knew that he would never lie
to me, so I put the necklace in my pocket for when I got back to my world. With this, I
could finally go home.
"Who was that guy?"
To be continued…
I hope you liked it, I know it was definitely not a normal fic, but I think if you
stick with it you'll get a kick out of it. Until next time!
