Well hello everyone, it's been a long time since...anything. I've been on archive of our own recently, trying to see which website I should post certain stories too. Anyway, here is my first Digimon fanfiction, set primarily in the universe of the video games instead of the anime. After playing a few of the old ones and recent ones, I did a little research on the lore, and it led to the beginning of this story right here. Hope you all enjoy the first chapter.

Chapter 1

Digital Dive

Legendary Tamer

Chosen Child

Digidestined

Cyber Sleuth

Saver…

The Digital World is a cyberspace of multiple universes. Each one is diverse; having different origins, different locations, and even branching timelines. One constant, however, is the bond between humans and digimon. The power of these bonds have led many heroes to do what most would believe to be the impossible: save the world.

And yet the so called supercomputer, god of some of these Digital Worlds is the one who causes these problems: Yggdrasil (or King Drasil). It's purpose is to watch over the Digital World and the digimon. The problem, however, is that some of it's avatars have gone rogue thanks to evil intentions of digimon, humans, digital creatures, or they try to carry out a self-satisfying sense of justice. No matter the cause, that avatar will most likely execute a plan to eradicate the Digital and Human Worlds at any cost. A task that comes easy when the Royal Knights listen to any of the Yggdrasils so blindly.

Except for Norn. She is a human avatar of a Yggdrasil's consensus designed to blend in with humans and observe what Digimon mean to them. After her Yggdrasil was consumed by a demon lord the higher god, Eniac, wanted her to aid another Yggdrasil avatar (the one who prefers the name King Drasil) to see if it was possible for humans to migrate to the Digital World. Word of this has reached other avatars, and despite not looking into the migration idea they allow digimon and human interaction.

Now the Original Yggdrasil is still alive, and dislikes how Eniac and other gods run each Digital World. It wants a change; an evolution of the Digital World where no humans can interfere. Where there will be no Digital Monsters. His vision is a world full of perfect Digital Lifeforms. The original Yggdrasil created a NEW Digital World that seperated the digimon into three terminals, but only it's Royal Knights reside their. Years and years it's been thinking of a way to create creatures, similar to Norn, that are human and can work with Digimon just like tamers, chosen children, and digidestined. The problem is that it takes up to much data to create a mere trio of life forms such as these...unless he can find the junk data of a human who has died in the Digital World.

Ironically, Yggdrasil fails to understand that he still needs humans to carry out his new world order.

Many believe that you need a pair of goggles, or some kind of item like a crest to be a hero. Some believe you need the strongest digimon, or a vast army to be powerful. The truth is all you need is a brave heart, and one vision of what you are fighting for.

A new adventure is about to begin in a Digital World where the keywords are sun and moon.

"With fifteen minutes left in class, why don't I get started on the Big Bang Cosmology?" Ms. M, the teacher, asked.

The students groaned as Ms. M pulled up a video from the internet about the beginning of the universe. It was an hour long, and they would be watching it right before class ends. They've been learning about this subject since last week, and this science class wasn't going to have a final exam. Many wanted Ms. M to just let them out early, but it was against high school rules. So the alternative was to listen to music and watch other videos on their phones as Ms. M turned off the lights.

Lynne Jacinta was going to pull out his cell phone, but he pulled another device from his backpack instead. It had an LCD screen, so he did use the light from his cellphone to see the colorless screen better. It wasn't an mp3 player, or an old video game handheld. It was a-

"Look, this fool is playin' Tamagotchi!" a boy named Drake held up Lynne's device and tossed it around the room.

"This ugly creature just took a shit," a girl named Trinity laughed. "I guess the only dog that won't attack you are virtual dogs Jacinta."

The class busted out laughing at the joke. It was not that funny, but the fact it was from two of the cool kids made anything funny. Lynne was trying to snatch his device back from Trinity until the teacher beat him to it. She pushed up her glasses and straightened her posture.

"That's quite enough class," she said with her hands on her hips, "there's nothing wrong with Lynne liking Tamagotchi or anything similar to it. I'm sure many of you have interest in something you would not like to be thrown around the classroom."

"Of course Mrs. M," Drake smirked, "but the interests the rest of us guys have involve legs and thighs; not the kernels chicken if you know what I mean. Who knows what I'm talking about!?"

The entire class laughed again. Before Mrs. M could calm them down the final bell went off and everyone ran out. Lynne being the exception due to Mrs. M still holding onto his device. She placed it in his hand.

"Thank you Mrs. M… and sorry for causing another mess, again," Lynne said as he turned the device off and slipped it into his pocket, "have a nice weekend."

"Hold on a second Lynne," the teenager turned around looked at his teacher, "that wouldn't happen to be one of the digivices based on that Digimon cartoon would it?"

"Yeah, but it's not exactly based on the ones from the show," Lynne chuckled. "It's the Digimon Accelerator, or Digimon Accel for short. It's continuation of the Digital Monsters Virtual Pet line. I guess it's not too different from the digivices, but it's still a separate brand in a way."

"I see. I might have to pick up one for myself," said Ms. M. She smirked and placed her hands on her hips when Lynne looked at her in surprise. "Hey, just become I'm a teacher doesn't mean I don't have any interests outside of my field of study. Or are you assuming I'm too old?"

Lynne placed his hands up defensively. "Not all Ms. M. You just don't look like the person who would be interested that's all."

"Well, don't always be quick to judge a book by its cover," Ms. M walked back to her desk. "Enjoy your weekend Mr. Jacinta."

Lynne waved goodbye to the teacher and walked out of her classroom. It was the weekend and he was planning on playing the new Digimon MMORPG with his friends Harper and Quinn. He just wished it was summer so, he could spend more time outside of school with them, and to take more photographs. Although, anything worth waiting for should be enjoyed at the fullest.

"Hey Mom, I'm home!" Lynne said as he entered the front door of his house.

Not hearing his mom's voice he looked out into the backyard to see if she was there. Then he looked toward the refrigerator. There was note sticking to the door.

I have stay a work late tonight, honey. I already cooked dinner and your father and sister will be over there after she is done with cheerleading practice. I know how you feel when your around your father, but please hang in there for me.

Love you, Mom

"Just great," Lynne sighed, "but I'll do it for mom. It just had to be on the day the game would be released online."

Lynne hurried to his room and decided not to let the thoughts of his father and half sister coming over ruin his night. If he hurried, he could play the game before the two arrive. When he made it to his room he turned on his computer, went to the website to download the game, and called Nora as the game downloaded.

"Bummer," Nora said over the phone, "I hope you get a chance to play before they show up."

"Yeah," said Lynne. "I can already hear him talk about how men shouldn't be interested in art and photography. I don't hate sports, but I don't want to be an athlete. I wish that would be okay with him."

"Some parents just have it fixed that their children should follow gender stereotypes," Nora chuckled, "at least your mom's not like that."

"She's more of a tom boy," Lynne smiled. He noticed that the game had finished downloading, "Okay, Nora the game's finished downloading on my end. Did Quinn already login before us?"

"Yep, you know he fixed his laptop to be a gaming pc," said Nora, "Meicoomon server right?"

"That's what we agreed on," Lynne sang. "See you there as your avatar."

After that, Lynne placed his hand on the computer mouse and clicked the install prompt for the game. The loading had some nice graphic design. It featured a digiegg hatching into koromon, then Agumon, a Tyrannomon, Metal Greymon, and then Victory Greymon. Tyrannomon was weird to Lynne. Usually Greymon or Geo Greymon were the representative champion levels for Agumon. He knew digimon had multiple evolutions because Nora told him that upon getting his Digimon Accel, but it was still strange that the champion would be different.

[Installation Complete]

"Great!" Lynne smiled.

He filled the necessary forms for an online game: name, age, timezone, the usual criteria. Then he was brought to a screen to create his online avatar. He was surprised at the designs and proportions of the character model.

"This is already a step up from Digimon Masters," said Lynne. "I was expecting something in the art style of Digimon Adventure, but their going with Cybersleuth and Next Order."

A short jacket that came to the chest, a hat with cat-like ears at the top, and denim shorts that covered the knees made up his avatar. Now the colors were all default so, it pretty much was comparable to a clown.

"Colors, colors," Lynne pondered. His mind wandered until he looked at his video game shelf. The back of one of his few digimon games caught his attention. He chuckled as it was his first Digimon game not based on any of the shows. "Well purple and blue are cool colors. I think my avatar will look cool in blue, and violet!"

After finishing his avatar, the screen went to a partner selection screen. Lynne noticed the digi-eggs were of the main digimon from the show. He sighed and was about to chose the agumon egg until he noticed a digivice in the corner of the screen. After clicking on it the text, a prompt popped up that read: connect a digital monster virtual pet or digivice to import a rookie or champion level digimon as your partner. Keep in mind that the stats of the digimon will be affected.

"Well this digimon was going to be one of the the starter's in Hacker's Memory," Lynne plugged the Digimon Accel into his computer via a usb cord. "And he was suppose to be the main partner in Digimon Tamers. I think it's time for this little guy to shine."

After the the transfer was complete, Lynne clicked the start icon on the computer. The words digital dive flashed on the screen over and over. Then the screen went dark.

"Download was fast, install was fast, but loading the graphics and levels is taking a while," Lynne leaned back in his chair and rolled around the room. He stopped at his window and saw a sports van in his mother's driveway. "There goes my time to play."

Lynne went to his computer and saw a bunch numbers scattered across the screen. "The game crashed? Aw come on, I know my computer wasn't built with a gaming processor, but it's still the recommended model!"

As Lynne touched his keyboard, the numbers latched onto his arm. He couldn't pull away and the digits were beginning to engulf his body. Everything went dark; the last thing he heard was the sound of his father entering the house.

Lynne felt his back against a floor. A cold floor. He stood up and rubbed the back of his head. He felt a hat, he wasn't wearing a hat before. When his vision came to he looked at his surroundings.

"Lava?" Lynne thought, pulling on his shirt. At that moment he realized he wasn't in his school uniform anymore. "This outfit: purple shirt, blue hat, black jacket...no this has got to be a dream."

Incorrect. This is location is Shadow Abyss also known as Shadow Hell.

Lynne looked around to figure out where that voice was coming from. He heard a weird noise, like a cellphone notification coming from his pocket. He took it out and to his surprised he was holding…

"My Digimon Accel?" Lynne inspected the device. "No, it's a Digivice iC. Sweet colors."

Lynne inspected the device again. Then an idea came to him.

"If this is a dream, then maybe"- Lynne playful spun around, "D.N.A Cha-"

"A human!"

It wasn't his father's voice. It was deep and frightening, but it shook the ground he stood on. Lynne turned around to see a dinosaur. He backed up as the creature approached, but stopped once he noticed what the creature was.

"A- An agumon?" Lynne said, his lips stuttering.

The agumon stopped moving. "An agumon? Just an agumon? I'm a Black Agumon, a variant of that goody-two shoes pepper breathe punk! That's bad news for you, human."

Before Lynne could reply, the Black Agumon blew a fireball at the boy. Lynne jumped backwards, and suddenly felt a blow to the stomach.

"Kid, you're just skin and bones," the Black Agumon said with a scoff. "I was gonna eat you whole, but I think I'll enjoy just killing you for a quick work out."

Lynne spat, still feeling the pain from the blow to the stomach. "I had no clue agumon could be so sadistic." Is this what I get for saying agumon is an overrated digimon?

"Pretty much just us dark variants and the nise hasake agumon," the Black Agumon ran toward Lynne with a claw held forward. "In one blow, you'll be red digisoul!"

"No, no wait!" Lynne held his Digivice iC in front of himself like a shield. "I'm sorry! I don't know how I got here, so I didn't realize humans weren't allowed here."

"Summon!"

When the sound of footsteps died down, Lynne opened his left eye. The Black Agumon was lying on its back. One of its arms was frozen and the other had scorch marks. Suddenly, a hand was in front of Lynne's face. It was covered by a red a glove; he followed the arm to see the individual.

"Now an impmon?" Lynne backed away from the digimon slowly. However, he noticed that this digimon, unlike the Black Agumon, wasn't angry. Come to think of it, he looked confused, sad?

"What's wrong?" the Impmon asked. "Don't you remember me Lynne?"

"Remember you?" Lynne asked as stopped moving.

The Impmon placed a hand on it's shoulders and tilted his head to the side. "We're partners. You're my tamer."

Lynne was still confused until the thought came to him. He didn't get a chance to say anything, for the Black Agumon stood up.

"Partners? I should've known you were a tamer. Probably from Digi-Central or CITY sent to capture little the Big Boss Black Agumon!" He shook his left arm and the ice shattered. "You look like that popular girl tamer. Oh, it doesn't matter. You seem like a weak bunch anyway. Still, I think it might be fun to do this!"

The Black Agumon yelled and energy swarmed around him.

"D.N.A?" Lynne said out loud.

"We call it Digisoul around these parts," said the Impmon.

In a flash of light there was a Black Tyrannomon in place of where the Black Agumon once stood.

"This might be a little overkill, but damn am I gonna enjoy it!" yelled the Black Tyrannomon. He pointed at Impmon, "You got a cheap shot on me, but all you Impmon are weak fools. I think it's time to put you in your place."

Impmon crossed his arms and smirked. "We'll see about that! Lynne, it's time to digivolve!"

"But how do I-"

"Focus on making me digivolve. Don't let anything else cloud your thoughts."

Lynne nodded and closed his eyes. He could feel Impmon's presence, forgetting that the Tyrannomon was around. Then he felt something else. Something burning, from within his heart. This feeling traveled from his heart to his shoulder, and finally toward his hand.

Lynne opened his eyes and noticed his right was charged with violet digisoul. He knew what to do now. "Digisoul Charge!"

After grasping the Digivice iC with his hand full of digisoul, Lynne aimed the device at Impmon. The virus-attribute digimon was engulfed in violet light that was enough to blind Tyranomon for the moment.

"Impmon Digivolve To: Wizardmon!"

When the light faded away, Impmon was now the digimon Wizardmon.

"Wow, Wizardmon," Lynne said, completely awestruck. "I...I just digivolved my own digimon just like in the television shows."

"Doesn't matter if you digivolved or not," Dark Tyrannomon said with confidence, "you're still no match for me for being a partner to a human. They remove the survival extinct from our data and make us weaker upon evolution."

"Yeah, just keep telling yourself that," said Wizardmon. He turned back to Lynne, "get back a few feet."

Lynne nodded and gave Wizardmon some space. Dark Tyrannomon rushed forward with his claws at his sides.

"Dark Nail!" It yelled.

"Ice Illusion!" Wizardmon twirled his staff and the wind generated a blizzard.

Dark Tyranomon was still on the move; however, he was slowing down. Snow was covering his body. It appeared to be shivering. Finally, it was frozen solid. Wizardmon swung his staff against the frozen reptile and it shattered into data fragments.

"Digimon from Shadow Abyss can be real jerks sometime," Wizardmon said as he degenerated back into Impmon. "It's a good thing you me summoned from your digivice when you did. What were you waiting for anyway?"

"To wake up from this dream," Lynne said, sighing.

He suddenly felt pain in his left arm, seeing that Impmon pinched him out of the blue.

"Nope, this is no dream," Impmon said with a playful smile. "This is real. You're a tamer Lynne. Why don't you remember me?"

Lynne paused for a moment. A digimon, standing right before him calling him his tamer. Digimon Story Online wasn't virtual reality, and that blow to the stomach from the Black Agumon proved that. However, Digimon are products of a Japanese video game company; they're no more real than a Pokemon.

"Then again"- Lynne closed his eyes. "Digimon are Digital Monsters. Computer programs, artificial intelligence at that. Technically, it's not impossible to create them since we have digital assistants on smartphones and computers now- Oh I don't know!"

"You okay there?" Impmon asked.

Lynne opened his eyes and realized the he was pulling on his hat. He chuckled and held both of his hands behind his head.

"Sorry about that," He looked around the area and then back at Impmon. "This is just a lot to take in, I mean-"

"Want to talk about it?" Impmon asked, looking around the area. "I know a place that's definitely more pleasant than this."

"More pleasant is nice," Lynne smiled as he followed Impmon.

The virus-attribute digimon led Lynne to a portal. He told his tamer to stand on it and select the first location that pops up on his digivice's screen.

"Digi-Central?"

"It's a safe haven for tamers who are just getting started."

Lynne nodded at Impmon's explanation and selected the area with his digivice. A bright light engulf the two and they were out of Shadow Abyss.

And there's the end of Chapter 1. I hope it was a good introduction to the story I'm looking forward to tell. Like I said before, it's primarily a gameverse fanfic with little hints here and there to the anime that will be important later on.

Why did I have Impmon as Lynne's partner? My first goal for the fanfic was not to chose a dragon or lizard digimon as Lynne's partner. It was between Impmon, Dracmon, and Petit Mamon, and I chose Impmon because his skill set compliments a specific digimon who it and their tamer will show up soon. And I have ideas for his digivolutions (and other digimon's) down the road.

Also, there will be no fan-made digimon. I wan't to stick with canon digimon, even if some evolution lines I use won't be canon.

Thank you for reading and reviewing the story.
