Preface – The Beginning of the Beginning

Greetings, Goggle-heads!

I do not own Digimon. ;_; If I did, Tamers would never have ended…

Ok, to break it down – I FUCKING LOVE TAMERS. I know lots of people rag on it for going off on a tangent, but you can't deny the badassery – and how all of the characters have equally redeeming and non-redeeming qualities. So – to break down why I love Tamers:

*Epic battle scenes. Terrifying as shit. Dark and creepy and TV Y7 my ass. Not for the faint of heart.

*Makes you reevaluate your morals and understanding of good and evil. Characters are more realistic – showing different sides to their emotions, how their characters develop. Causes you to think deeply about what it means to fight, to be friends, and to forgive.

*Epic Digivolution sequences, and DigiModifing is so much cooler than Digi-Armor Energize. CARD SLASH!

*MOTHER FUCKING BIOMERGE. SO EPIC. XD Words can't describe how awesome it is when the Tamers can fight with their partners as one.

*HENRY AND TERRIERMON! :D SO FUCKING MUCH LOVE.

But, anywho…

This fic follows some American Tamers dealing with the Digital issues of New York, 4 years past the original destruction of the D-Reaper. (Making, according to my sources, Takato, Rika, Henry, Kenta, Kazu, and Jeri 16, Ryo 17, Suzie 8, Ai 8 and Mako 7.) Well – the psudo-destruction. It was merely sent back to the digital world in a weakened state. We'll be running into all our old friends soon, I promise. (Mostly because it can't be Tamers without Takato, Henry, Rika, Guilmon, Terriermon, Renamon and the whole gang.) (I'm gonna fuck with the timeline and say that it's 2010ish). (I might later do another fic about the Tamers all over the world dealing with the original D-Reaper outbreak, but for now I want T/M and cursing and sexual innuendos that won't ruin my childhood by applying them to 12/13 year olds). So momentai and enjoy!

One more thing: Who do you think is narrating? I can't make up my mind, so tell me whose voice you imagine… I was thinking maybe Izzy or Kari?

Also: I'm totally writing out what the animation would look like for the opening, Digivolutions, Digi-Modifications, and Bio Merges. Play Tamers theme with this image for the opening. I tried combining elements that I liked from the Japanese opening with ones I liked from the English one (this would go a whole lot faster, but I'm trying to put in all the little details, cuz I have no life and then I realized it was really long. TT_TT):

A teenage brunette girl in a Doctor Who t-shirt is riding on a bus when she suddenly looks out the window. There is a mysterious shadow looming over the street. She pulls a card from her pocket that flashes blue for a moment before getting off the bus. Next we see a blonde girl in a Led Zepplin t-shirt walking down the street. She turns her head suddenly, noticing the shadow as well. She flips open her card holder, and the one on top flashes blue. A tall boy in a windbreaker jacket on a moped pins a card to the handlebars. This card also flashes blue for a moment. Another boy – a ginger teen in thick glasses and a Marvel Comics shirt – is running up the steps from a subway, pulling a card (that – you guessed it – flashes blue) from his pocket. We go back to the first girl. With a deep breath, she flips the card over her fingers and slashes it up her red Digivice. The screen splits and shows the other girl slashing the card down her purple Digivice as if she were strumming a guitar. The boy in the jacket tears his card across his silver Digivice like a sash. The last boy crosses his heart with his card as he pulls it through the blue Digivice. The image begins to flick between various battle scenes with Felimon, Boamon, Spinymon, and Shikomon, as well as the teens. The picture goes to a tall dark-haired teenager fanning a bunch of Digimon cards in his hand. His other hand briefly goes to his pocket, revealing a glimpse of black before the image changes again to show a bald man with a lumberjack's beard sitting in front of a computer. On the screen is a sonar-like image that fades into a black-spiral looking vortex. The picture changes again: now we see Felimon in front of a Digimon that looks like a feline-esque street fighter, in front of a quadruped, jaguar-like Digimon. In the back is a shadowy bipedal figure. The outline of Felimon and the first girl passes in front of it and the screen changes to Boamon, who stands in front of a large, silver, anaconda-like snake, who stands in front of a huge quetzqotal-esque Digimon that appears to be covered in steel. In the background is a shadowy figure of a woman with her hair whipping in the wind. This image is broken by the outline of the second girl with Boamon draped over her shoulders walking across the screen. The next image shows Spinymon, who stands before a Digimon that resembles a pangolin, and behind him is a Digimon that looks like platypus. In the back is a shape that looks like a suit of armor. An outline of the first boy is running towards an outline of Spinymon, who brofists him. They turn and run off the screen. The last image shows Shikomon who stands in front of an impressive looking deer, which stands in front of a qilin. In the back is the shape of a samarai. This image is interrupted by the outline of Shikomon booking it across the screen, trailed by the outline of the ginger boy. We show all 5 teens pull on shades of some kind – the ginger boy's glasses grow darker and Shikomon meets up with him, the second girl puts on Lennon shades with Boamon is draped over her shoulders, the first boy pulls a pair of mirrored aviators over his eyes as Spinymon peeks his head out of his backpack, the first girl pulls on some goggles while Felimon perches on her shoulders. The last boy puts on a pair of shades and fans out the cards to each of the others. As they grab them, the screen shows more scenes of their Digimon in various forms kicking ass. They run towards the shadow, into a fog. Digimon logo.

…I have no life… XP. Is it sad that I've been working through the storyboard and am actually considering animating it?
