Summary: A call is whispered, searching, reaching, echoing from the confines of the Dark Ocean to a forgotten part deep within Impmon: "The Seven Demon Lords must rise once again…" The DigiWorld becomes whole once more and Realities threaten to shatter. Chosen Children, DigiDestined, Tamers, Savers, must stand-up and face the True Evil; though sometimes it doesn't lay within Darkness. Multiseason 1-4
Disclaimer: Someone that is not me has the rights over Digimon… I know Akiyoshi Hongo created the original concept.
I'm not using OC, nor was any Digimon here invented. Any character mentioned in this story comes from the Anime; all information comes from Digimon Wikia, Wikimon and/or DMA+Digi-Dex.
This fic is a crossover between Adventure, Tamers, Frontier and DATS. Since there were too many characters (let's face it, more than 30 characters, just counting the human ones are a little too much), I was planning to only put in here a few characters from each season –except Adventure; they are all too cool to be left behind- and send some characters to watch the grass grow or something but I finally decided to work with most of them so I can torture the ones I can't stand (Davis, Yolei, you know who you are…), though no bashing, mind you.
I'll try to give their fair share under the reflectors to all the characters, but let's face it: it's only human of me to pay more attention and care to my favorite ones, therefore I'm telling you now what to expect so you can make an educated guess regarding if you really want to read this or not.
The story will mainly focus on Tai, Sora and Matt from Adventure; T.K., Kari, Gatomon from 02 (to be honest, I fervently believe that 02 was a mistake only comparable to Dragon Ball GT; the story had great potential, but it wasn't properly developed –too many holes to make a good Gruyere cheese, and the characters were plainly… annoying… Well, anyway…); from Tamers we have Rika, Renamon, Impmon and his Tamers, and Takato and Juri; Kouji and Kouichi from Frontier… and no one special from Savers…
There will be some romance (I like triangles! And squares! Can you icosahedron? Yeay for Geometry!) though the story won't focus on it, nor this will be Noah's Ark so that every character gets their lobster.
I'm using the American names for Digimon and most human characters (only exceptions are Makoto, Hirokazu and Juri); instead of Digimodify, I'm using Card Slash; instead of Jogress Evolution is going to be DNA Evolution; instead of DNA Charge is going to be DigiSoul Charge and some few more. This because in my country the equivalents for some Japanese terms were used instead of the American ones, so I'm more familiarized with the former. And let's be honest, they are way cooler.
Let's see this as the only Author Note. From now on, every chapter will be exclusively the story, and maybe some brief explanations.
This first chapter is brought to you by letter "P" of Pinkie Pie and color cupcake, as in Red Velvet.
Falling in the Black.
Chapter One.
Prelude.
If you find Good you are most likely than not to find Evil. That's how it has been, that's how it will be…
But it also works the other way around; where Evil exists there is a high chance to find something else… If you look carefully, deep enough, under all the grief and sorrow… you would may able to find the Good within.
They both just are… None exists without the other. One could become the other…
You must keep in mind that Light isn't Good and Darkness isn't Evil. Nor is Light Evil, nor is Darkness Good.
Batman and Joker?
Perspective…
Evil and Good are not creatures; they are not alive and they don't possess a mind of their own. We can't blame Evil or Good for our own choices nor can we excuse others for theirs. Our circumstances do weight on our acts but they do not determine them.
The real difference between Good and Evil begins and ends with the excess. A Darkness excess creates Evil, but the same result comes from an excess of Light. Good is only possible half way, where Balance resides.
To preserve Balance you must do equivalent exchanges in both sides of the equal sign. The order does not have to be necessarily important to the actual matter…
Still…
Sacrifices must be done…
There forever shall be Two Sides of the Mirror…
Once Upon a Time… Destiny took place and the Chosen were called to fulfill their mission.
Once Upon a Time… the Missing One found the Light and lost a friend.
Once Upon a Time… the sky tore apart and the True War took place…
Once Upon a Time… Darkness buried itself within a Kind Heart.
Once Upon a Time… Evil was vanished and concealed in Darkness…
Once Upon a Time… Dreams came true and the Nightmare faded away…
Once Upon a Time… Someone believed…
Once Upon a Time… Pain and Anger lend way to a dreadful mistake…
Once Upon a Time… Death threatened to became Emptiness…
Once Upon a Time… The Legend lived anew…
Once Upon a Time… Light and Darkness reunited at last…
Once Upon a Time… the Fallen was stopped from rising again…
Once Upon a Time… Distrust… Fear… Desperation… almost got everything lost…
Once Upon a Time… Not so long ago…
But the story, our story, begins far before any of that… Maybe at the exact same time the DigiWorld was created…
Maybe even before that too…
Before seven children were taken from one Summer Camp and got to know the Digimons…
Before a human kid proclaimed himself as the Emperor of the DigiWorld…
Before Humans and Digimon fight as One…
Before a Call for Help was answered…
Before a Boy became a Man, when saving two worlds…
At the beginning, there was only one DigiWorld, connected to multiple Human Realities. But Evil has existed since unknown times, within the heart and soul of every living being, and it became stronger. Until Seven beings (the Worst One of Them All didn't get involve… not actively, at least…) were proclaimed to be the true incarnations of Darkness and proceeded to fight a War for the sake of it.
The War was cruel and long, sprinkled by loses and pain, sorrow and hurt, destruction and death… The main enemy wasn't the Seven, but the Despair their presence summoned…
By the End, the True Winner was Regret…
By the time the Seven were reduced, the Digital World had been shattered and broken beyond imagination.
A broken puzzle not likely to piece together ever again…
The sinful transgressor were split and concealed in the new different sections (almost Worlds by their own right); and each one of these new sectors was put under the care of a powerful protector. And each protector bowed to prevent –if not their return, because that would have been impossible- that more than one Demon Lord would be awaken at the time.
Because the Seven should never rise again…
Not Together.
Because the Seven should forever be prevented from reuniting ever again…
Time went by.
New enemies arise, new heroes were born; adventures took place and friendships were forged.
The different parts of the Original Digital World were saved once and over again.
While this took place, the Data of the Seven Evil Lords resurfaced; the ancient threat awakened anew, to fail and be defeated for mere human children and their digital companions.
A mistake, so simple, so highly unforeseen, gave the enemy the chance to fight back and the possibility to succeed.
What weakens the Light, would more likely than not strength Darkness…

The shadows shifted and twirled; his eyes narrowed in deep concentration.
Divided they must fall, but united…
They Would Bring The Fall Of Everything.
