Digimon Re: Adventure Prologue:
It was a long time ago when it all began.
"DAD!" A boy, with brunette, bushy hair of only 6 years of age called out as he was pushed out of the way of flying debris in the middle of the street at night. It wasn't awfully dark out, but it was still too late at night for both him and his 3 year old sister cowering behind him to even remotely be out here… yet alone for an incident like this.
"Baby Flame!" Yelled the growling, yet youthful voice of a small, yellow Dinosaur with massive, three digit arms, short legs, a stubby tail, and a large, robust head with a fiery set of jaws. As a massive blast of fire was launched from its mouth towards a far larger opponent ravaging through the area, in the form of a humanoid, six limbed, green colored avian, the fiery attack didn't do much to the massive avian.
"Koromon!" The voice of the younger sister yelled as she tried to rush up to the dinosaur as tears were evident on her face. She was quickly picked up and held back by an older man, clearly trying to keep her out of trouble.
"Hikari, stay away, I can handle this!" He told her, as the boy rushed past the man to try and approach the dinosaur to get him to calm down. During the day, the dinosaur was nothing more than an egg in the morning.
As the day progressed, and with a lot of food being consumed by the pitch black hatchling, it proceeded to grow into a larger, pink form with long ears, and then at night with even more food grew up into what it is now. Now confronting the massive avian before it, the dinosaur was much more hostile than it originally was as the boy continued his approach to the dinosaur.
"Koromon, snap out of it, please…!" The boy yelled, as he was soon grabbed hold of by the man.
"Taichi, get Kari home and leave this to me, please!" He told the boy, as Taichi was stunned by his words.
"But dad! Koromon needs to get out of here!" Taichi tried to argue, as without a moment's notice, the dinosaur Taichi and his sister kept calling "Koromon" spewed out a much more explosive flame towards the avian's head; the explosion faded as the blast did nothing to it. The avian, charging electricity above its head and ear-like feathering, chuckled darkly at the scene before it.
"Get out of the way, Child! It's my turn! Mjolnir Thunder!" The avian let out as a large, powerful bolt of electricity fired from its head in a horizontal direction; striking straight into an overhead bridge just above Agumon and the older man with the two children, the man was quick to grab hold of both of the children and shield them.
"Get down!" He told the two of them, hearing them screaming from the fright of the collapsing bridge overhead. "Koromon", as it began charging an immense flame in its mouth, yelped and growled as the debris from the collapsing bridge fell onto it and buried it and the three humans under several feet of rubble.
As the large, parrot-like avian stood there and watched, Taichi was slowly coming to his senses as he looked at his sister beside him to make sure she was alright, before hearing the audible, coughing state of his dad shielding him from debris.
"I-I'm so sorry, Taichi, Hikari… I did what I could to help… Everyone was right about me…" He began to speak, coughing again as blood was dripping from his mouth; Taichi's eyes widening in horror as he saw a spire of rubble piercing through his dad's body from behind.
"T-Tell your mother… when you two get out of this… that I'll always love her even after I'm gone…" The two of their dad was beginning to cough severely at this point as he moved himself to try and clear away the debris to allow Taichi and Hikari to get out.
"Big bro, I'm scared… What's wrong with daddy…?" Hikari spoke, as Taichi was quiet in helping Hikari out of the rubble first, as the two of them could hear their dad coughing a bit more as his body was beginning to look heavily exhausted.
"L-Look after Koromon… Please… As my dying wish… both of you stay safe in the future with your mother… I love you all and I'll dearly miss you… f-farewell…" Their dad was saying as he managed to push Taichi out of the rubble and out into the open, with him placing an object of sorts into Taichi's hand for him to take with him. Taichi looked at it once he was out; an odd, keychain-like electronic device with three buttons and a small screen.
"D-Dad…?" Taichi choked up as he slowly watched as his father collapsed among the rubble; being buried underneath as his coughing and voice silenced in mere seconds. No motion or anything remained; Hikari was beginning to cry, all the while Taichi's eyes were beginning to tear up as well. As he clenched his fist with the device in his hand, he was beginning to cry as well; but he wasn't going to let it end like this.
"N-No… Dad…" Taichi said, all the while his gaze tensed up a bit as he looked over towards where "Koromon" was buried underneath the rubble, with the avian preparing another, powerful strike of electricity to strike down the dinosaur with. "K-KOROMON!"
The device in his hands suddenly began to glow with a severe intensity, as the screen showcased a very small, sprite rendition of the dinosaur as the screen flashed "EVO" on it repeatedly. As the dinosaur moved out of the rubble with the newfound surge of energy, with the now massive form of the dinosaur emerging from the rubble; now having robust, fully developed legs, even stronger arms, a massive tail, and a three horned, armored helmet and blue stripes covering its body, the dinosaur let out a loud growl towards the avian as its eyes focused on Taichi and Hikari.
"Who's that?" Hikari spoke up towards the larger dinosaur, with the small but audible rumbling from the behemoth indicating a sense of friendliness towards the two again in a friendly manner. Taichi now recognized his friend from this day again even with his different form.
"K-Koromon…?" Taichi asked of the massive Dinosaur.
"I-I'm Greymon now." The dinosaur, naming itself Greymon, responded to the two children as it moved to stand up to Taichi's amazement.
"You can be whoever you want, big guy…" Taichi said as he choked up a little from the fact Greymon now looked big enough to take on the avian that was responsible for his dad dying just moments before, as Taichi looked over towards the parrot headed avian with fury. "Go get him!" Taichi commanded, as Greymon's rumbling turned into loud growling into a massive, gargantuan roar of rage.
"Mega Flame!" Greymon roared as a sheer, intense amount of energy surged around him as he spewed a massive, white, beam-like flame towards the avian; the intensity of the fire was so devastatingly strong that the avian's left wing was vaporized from the attack, forcing the avian abomination falling over onto the ground. Hikari screamed in panic as Greymon charged forward to attack the avian with brutal force.
Grappling onto the avian's shoulders as it tried to stand, Greymon jabbed his horn upwards into the parrot headed beak; piercing through the fiend's head as the freak's eyes widened with a sickening lust for Greymon's blood to be spilled. The avian, however, would not get that chance at all.
"YOU! Parrotmon! Here you stand before me in the human world, having invaded turf that never was yours!"Greymon began to speak as he grabbed hold of Parrotmon and lifted it up above his helmeted head, before slamming down against his sturdy horns as he smashed Parrotmon into the pavement before him.
"You disrupted the lives of normal, everyday humans; you killed the father of two innocents that didn't need to be involved in this! Do you have any words of regrets that you have done?!" Greymon spoke to Parrotmon as he slowly stood up in a frenzied look at Parrotmon coughed and wheezed in pain.
"Y-You foolish Dinosaur… You have no idea what this event will detail… Even if you kill me, I do not regret anything because I physically can't; this is only the beginning of the war that your much earlier entrance provoked between this world and our own…!" Parrotmon spoke in defiance, "Sonic-!" Parrotmon yelped again as Greymon brutally tackled into the ground as his jaws latched onto the joint of Parrotmon's remaining right wing; severing the wing before Parrotmon could try and attack again.
"THIS ENDS NOW, PARROTMON! MY FRIENDS, THEIR FAMILY, FOR EVERYONE YOU'VE DRAGGED INTO THIS BATTLE; I AM NOT LETTING YOU GET AWAY!" Greymon roared in his speech as his mouth was seething with infernal, violet colored flames in a misty form. "MEGA! FLAME!" Greymon roared as from his mouth spewed an immensely hot, infernal blast of fiery stream of flames so hot they appeared violet in color.
As Taichi and Hikari shielded their eyes from the immense brightness of the attack, Parrotmon cried out from the immense burning pain of the attack as his whole body appeared to begin to disintegrated into molecules of sorts. As Greymon continued to exhale flames against Parrotmon, his own body began to dissipate into molecules as well as both of these gigantic, powerful life-forms vanished into the night as their final clash ignite the area with a bright, blinding white light that would last for hours on end.
In the aftermath of the fight as the sun began to rise, an ambulance began to be heard entering into the vicinity, as Hikari was calling out for Greymon and her dad, desperately trying to find her friend and father, all the while Taichi was walking with Hikari to try and take her back home, as Hikari was beginning to sob and break down from the events that had ensued as Taichi moved to grab hold of her into a brotherly hug and began to cry a little as well.
"Hikari… let's go home, please… mom is waiting for us…"
"W-What about dad and Greymon…?"
"…"
"… T-They… They're both gone… we need to go home now…"
This may have been the end of the story so far… but little did the two children know, that this was the beginning of an even bigger story that they could barely comprehend at their age. A story about majestic, powerful creatures beyond those of reality; these creatures are called…
Digimon; Digital Monsters.
AN: Hoo boy talk about an awkward re-upload. Normally when I re-upload stuff it's from fanfiction to AO3, but here I'm re-uploading a censored version of Digimon Re: Adventure to fanfiction by popular demand it seems. Kind of awkward to be perfectly honest. Also you'll notice I'm not doing the "To Be Continued" bit like I do with Truth and Ideals and DinoSquad RX; since this was originally an upload on AO3, I had no need for it there due to how that site works in comparison to this one, which allows you to read effectively every chapter on a single page and all.
