Prologue:
Seishin and Gaia were lovers. They were two weary beings, who searched in vain for a safe place. They were refugees of a great and terrible war. They sought out a place where they could live in peace. They escaped their world in hopes of finding a new one. When they could not, together, they created a new world, free of war.
Not long after, new creatures appeared, also searching for a safe place to live. They happily accepted them into their land. As time passed, many creatures came to live there and plants flourished with life. The land was rich and new families formed. Even Seishin and Gaia had a strong family. Their ten children would become vital to the peace.
Yet, even in these prosperous and peaceful times, disputes would emerge. The quarrels soon lead to clashes between different factions. Gaia and Seishin tried their hardest to relieve the fighting, but their efforts were not enough. They decided to endow each of their children with one element, to help ease the tensions. They taught them the values of becoming a dependable warrior.
The Eldest Son, Trojan became the warrior of Wood and plants. Vulcan became the warrior of Earth. Mermai, the eldest of two daughters, became the warrior of Water. Wise became the warrior of Steel. Beet became the Warrior of Thunder and Lightning. Sphinx became the warrior of Darkness. Garuru became the warrior of Light. Iris, the youngest daughter became the warrior of Wind. Grey became the warrior of Flame. Megatheriu, the youngest child became the warrior of Ice.
For a while, they were able to keep the peace. That was until a war between beast like creatures and human like creatures broke out. No amount of arbitration could relive the fighting. It seemed as though Seishin's and Gaia's ideal world was created in vain.
Then an angel rose up and settled the quarrel. He spoke of peace and kindness, and living together as one. Seishin and Gaia were so moved; they proclaimed the Angel as the leader. They thought with his just ideals, pure heart, and firm hand, he could lead.
But Power corrupts even the purest hearts.
War soon riddled the once beautiful lands. Endless fighting occurred at every which turn. There was no escape from the total chaos. The Angel who was thought to be good and just, had turned into a power hungry maniac. He was a monster. He blamed Seishin and Gaia for his misdeeds.
Seishin and Gaia of course were innocent. They were pure untainted beings, and had done nothing wrong. The corrupt Angel however, saw it differently. He knew he was to rule over all. He knew his word was law. He knew that he would be great.
And to be great, Seishin and Gaia must fall.
The Angel devised a plan and broke into the Fortress where Seishin and Gaia resided with their ten children. He attacked Gaia first and killed her where she stood. This sent Seishin into a rage of blinding fury. The Angel took advantage of the grief ridden warrior and murdered him too.
It had been the youngest of the two daughters who raised the alarm. Iris had almost walked in on the scene and would have been killed too. She woke her siblings and they raced after the fleeing murderer. They caught up with him just as the battling forces of the Angel arrived.
The ten warriors stood at the ready, to avenge their parents and save their home. The Angel quickly told his troops that the warrior siblings were traitors to their parents and the laws. They had killed their parents in an act of defiance.
The troops of both sides were stunned; the ten warriors were kind and trustworthy. They couldn't have killed their own parents…
One son, Sphinx, the loyalist and most truthful, stepped forward and explained the bloody scene in the castle's throne room. The troops of both sides were enraged with the Angel. He lied and deceived them all. The Angel knew he had to act fast. He dove and attacked Sphinx.
The other nine warriors charged into battle, lead by Trojan the eldest of the siblings. He and his brother, Beet attacked together. Their sisters, Iris and Mermai, drew their weapons intent on destroying the monstrous angel.
The youngest brother stopped his sisters. Megatheriu told them that if they killed the Angel, they were just as bad as he was. Killing was not the answer in his eyes. The Angel took this moment and attacked the two sisters and then the youngest brother. They were fatally wounded.
Wise and Volcan were outraged and attacked the beastly Angel. They too were fatally hit. Trojan and Beet tried to hold the angel down again. They were struck down like flies. That left three of the ten siblings left. Sphinx charged in and tackled the Angel. His brothers Grey and Garuru, followed at his heels.
The Angel threw Sphinx off and defeated him as well. Grey and Garuru were the last two left. Their fallen siblings were dying and they all knew it. They transferred what was left of their strength to the last two brothers. The eight siblings died trying to defend their home and each other. When the last of their strength was gone, they faded away.
It was a fierce battle. Grey and Garuru had cornered the Angel multiple times, but he slipped away each time. Finally Garuru out smarted the fiendish Angel, he and Grey opened a portal to the core of their world, and locked the angel away. They defeated the monster, but in doing so used up too much of their own strength.
They gave their spirits and the spirits of their siblings to three pure, Celestial Angels. The dying brothers entrusted the Celestial Angels with the knowledge that the corrupt Angel would return, but so would the ten warriors.
It is said, that when the Angel rises once, the Warriors shall return to defeat him and protect their home. If the Angel succeeds and returns to power, Gaia and Seishin shall return…
Chapter One
Destiny's Call
In the upper Midwestern United States
Amity Park; a great place to live... that is if you don't mind the daily ghost attacks and visited from paranormal beings. This is the home of the famous Danny Phantom, local ghost teen superhero. It is also the hometown of one Danny Fenton, Samantha "Sam" Manson and Tucker Foley.
Everything started out like every other day. The three woke up, went to school, kicked ghost butt and went home; same old, same old for Team Phantom. Why are they called that? It's quite simple of course; Danny Fenton is half ghost due to an accident that happened in his parents' lab. His ghost half is known as Danny Phantom, It's not hard to figure out really… and yet no one has been able to put two and two together.
Anyway, it started as a normal day. It was May, close to the end of the school year for the infamous trio. May is also crunch time; that time to get in any last minute assignments, tests and of course, the coming of the dreaded final exams.
"I can't wait to be done with school" A dark haired, pale boy sighed, throwing his book bag on his bed. His two best friends followed suit, and collapsed on the floor.
"Almost done, We just have our English Exam left… on Monday!" An African American boy replied, sounding annoyed. It was a Wednesday after all. He appeared to be the epitome of the word Geek, thick glasses, techy and never left home without his beloved PDA. Sitting next to him was the female epitome of the word Goth. She too was pale like the first boy, wore almost all black, found the paranormal fascinating, and was an Ultra-Recylo-Vegetarian.
The girl sighed, "Yeah, our worst subject… Well beside math for you Danny." She said lightly. Danny, the dark hired boy, glared at her. She grinned back devilishly.
Danny rolled his eyes, "At least we know what the Exam is. We just have to retell a famous myth… Easy enough right?"
"I guess so. Sam, what myth did you two get again?" Tucker asked the dark haired girl.
"Some legend about the two lovers… and an evil angel…"
Tucker snickered, "That's perfect for you two!" Sam held up a fist, shutting Tucker up. Sam has had a crush on Danny for years and never had the courage to speak up and tell him.
Silence lingered over them, until Tucker's stomach rumbled loudly. "so uh, who's up for Nasty Burger?" He asked brightly, earning bemused smiles from Danny and Sam.
"Nasty Burger it is!" The three teens jumped to their feet and left to go to their favorite food service place.
In Jiyugaoka, Tokyo Japan…
"Kanbara! Hurry up or we'll be late!"
A dark haired teenager was standing on the sidewalk outside his best friend's house. He was tired of waiting and was debating on whether he should leave without his brunette friend.
"I'm coming Kouji! Be patient would ya?" A shouted response came from a second story window.
The boy on the sidewalk, Kouji, scowled up at the now empty window. "I've been patient long enough! I'm leaving!" Kouji turned to walk down the street when he collided with his hyperactive friend, who had just sprinted down the front steps of his house.
"Takuya… You never cease to tick me off. I often wonder why I hang out with you…" Kouji growled lightly.
The brunette grinned, "Aw, you love me and you know it."
Kouji swatted at Takuya, "Do not. I blame the digital world."
"Get out of Egypt Kouji. You're in denial." Takuya sprinted away as Kouji chased after the other boy.
"That was so lame!" Kouji shouted. They rounded a corner and ran a few more blocks. Finally their destination came into view. They slowed to a brisk walk as the pair reached the park. Kouji punched Takuya's arm.
"Hey! What was that for?"
"For being such a loser… Honestly Takuya." Koji said with an exasperated sigh. Takuya just smiled happily.
"Hey! Kouji! Takuya!" A feminine voice cut through the spring air. Kouji and Takuya looked up to a large, old cherry tree. A tall blonde girl wearing mostly lavender, was waving at them enthusiastically. The boys ran over to her and their other friends who, (unlike them) were on time.
"Brother, you're late." A dark haired boy said. He was Kouichi; Kouji's long lost twin brother. His hair was shorter than Kouji's considerably. Kouji's was long enough to tie back in a ponytail after all. They were almost polar opposites, save for their looks. Same dark hair, same deep blue eyes and same pale complexion. Kouichi was wearing a long sleeved maroon shirt with a green t-shirt over top, and white pants.
Kouji just pointed at Takuya in explanation. "Lemme guess; It was Taki's fault?" the larger and oldest boy said. His name was JP, short for JunPei. He had reddish brown hair and soft brown eyes. JP was wearing his trademark bright blue body suit.
"It was not!" Takuya argued back, blushing scarlet. He adjusted the olive colored hat on his head, and the goggles that sat on top of that. He folded his arms and pouted, covering part of his yellow undershirt. He was also wearing a bright red T-shirt and khaki shorts.
The youngest, Tommy, laughed "Takuya! You're always late!" The others laughed along, making Takuya pout more and blush a richer shade of red. Tommy was like a little brother to Takuya. He was wearing a white shirt, light yellow shorts and his large, trademark yellow-orange hat.
"So what? We're here right?" Kouji added lightly, with a slight smile. As much as he was annoyed by Takuya's…Takuya-ness; he was Kouji's best friend, and he had to put up some defense for the brunette. Kouji brushed some stray strands of hair back under his navy and gray bandana. He removed his blue jacket, showing his bright yellow shirt that contrasted heavily with his dark gray shorts and white sneakers.
The blonde girl, Zoe smiled. "Yeah! Let's have a good time!" She exclaimed happily. Her long hair fluttered in the breeze. She was wearing a lavender top, hat, and matching short skirt. She was holding a basket for the picnic that the children were going to have.
The six children sat down and began to talk and catch up on life. Though they were all close in relationship, they lived a good distance apart. They never lived closer than they do now, and only two attended the same school. It was a fateful spring day about two years ago that brought the group together.
It had been a normal day when they, along with hundreds of other children, received a call on their cell phones. Children took the trains from all over Japan and arrived in a place known as the D-Terminal. There they would board a special train, later known as Trailmon, and arrived into a vast and very dangerous world. The six had arrived into the Digital World, inhabited by strange and wonderful beings known as Digimon.
At first, it was just Takuya, JP, Tommy, and Zoe traveling together. Takuya was the first to find his spirit, and by spirit, I mean the ancient spirit of Flame. The four encountered Kouji when he found his spirit, the ancient spirit of Light. Kouji continued on his own while Tommy, Zoe, and JP find their spirits; Tommy; the ancient spirit of Ice, Zoe; the ancient spirit of Wind, and JP; the ancient spirit of Thunder.
Kouji later joined the team when the evil Warrior of Earth showed up and attacked. He was stronger than the five children and possessed a powerful form; a Beast spirit. Then the hunt for the mysterious Beast spirits was on. Kouji was the first to find out that beast spirits, while powerful, are difficult to control. Takuya was the next to learn this lesson. He lost control and tried to kill his friends.
After they all obtained their beast spirits, the group of five warriors headed towards the Rose Morning Star. There they encountered a strong, dark warrior. His name was Duskmon, and he was more powerful than the group could have imagined. He was the corrupted Warrior of Darkness, and Kouji's twin brother.
After many near fatal encounters with him, Kouji and Takuya purified the spirits. Soon after that, they confronted Cherubimon. Once he was defeated, they realized that the world was still in danger, but by an even greater threat. Lucemon, a banished angel Digimon, was gathering data so he could return to power.
In the end, the Legendary Warriors won and things fell back to the way they were. Even though things did return to normal, the group was changed in more ways than one. The ties to the digital world kept the group a tightly knit bunch.
Then, Takuya's cell phone rang. Then Kouji's did. Soon all six of the small electrical devices were ringing and rattling. A single message appeared on the screens of the phones.
The Digital World needs you once more. Are you up to the task?
Zoe exchanged excited glances with JP and Kouichi. Kouji was grinning to himself. Tommy and Takuya looked like they could have burst with exhilaration. The six quickly answered yes and their phones began to glow brightly. They changed shape and color, fitting snuggly into their palms. The D-Tectors were back.
Lucemon is on the rise to power. We need your help chosen wielders of the ancient Spirits. You must find the spirits of the first two Digimon. They reside in human children such as you. Find them, and return to the digital world. They are the key to Lucemon's downfall. Good luck.
"How are we going to find the spirits? There are over 8 million children living in the world!" JP Exclaimed after the message had sunk in.
"8 million…" That alone seemed to discourage the group. Not to mention finding the ancient spirits of the first Digimon would be no easy task. They gave a unified groan.
"I wish we had more insight about these two Digimon spirits…" Zoe voiced sullenly.
Takuya nodded and tied to lift the mood, "We'll just have to try anyway. We need to do research and see what we come up with."
Kouichi grinned, "It can't be too hard… right?"
"To the Library!" Takuya declared enthusiastically.
Kouji made a choked laughing sound, "I'm impressed Takuya. You actually know what a library is!"
AT THE LIBRARY!!!!
"Does ANYONE have any idea what the first two Digimon could've been?"
They had been searching through books for hours; mainly fairytales, folklore, legends, and recent electrical anomalies. So far their efforts were fruitless. The best they had was part of a legend that sounded similar to the legend of the Ten Legendary warriors, a series of power surges in a small town in America, and a legend of five celestial beings. Nothing on Two original beings… or what they could be.
"What do we have again?" Takuya asked, sounding as disappointed as everyone else.
Kouichi glanced at a list he made. "Well there's that folk tale about the Angel and the Ten Warriors; but it's lacking in information because that book has long since fallen apart."
"There's also that legend on five celestial beings… Again not much information… I guess it's about Cherubimon, Seraphimon, and Ophanimon… And two others…" Zoe said peering at Kouichi's list.
"And there's that report on a series of electrical anomalies in a small American town." Kouichi finished.
A collective sigh passed through the group. "So now what do we do?" JP asked.
"We keep looking." Kouji said firmly.
Takuya grinned, "Come on guys! There's nothing we can't do! We've done the impossible time and again!" The mood lifted significantly among the spirit holders.
"We can do it!" Tommy said with a smile. He held an older book, its title long since worn away. If it were still legible, it would have read 'The Tiger and The Dragon: The Creators of Life and Death'.
FC: Well that was a major leapt out of the way. And quite possibly my longest first chapter to date. DO NOT EXPECT THIS LENGTH ALL THE TIME!!! I am far to lazy to acheive 3000 + words per chapter.
REVIEW I SAYS
